[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
No doubt that WP7 is better than iOS. There's really no comparison. As much better as Windows PC OSes are from Mac OSes, that's how much better WP7 is over iOS. Windows has always been the better system, even though Apple always came first with one.

But to expand on it and say why rather than just give an opinion...simplicity, convenience, smoothness, elegance, reliability. All of these qualities are part of WP7. The menu system and screen presentation is orderly and obvious. The system is uncluttered and direct. When you want to get to a certain menu item, you know instinctively where it's at in WP7. Not so with iOS. The menus in iOS are haphazard and it's a crapshot as to whether the menu you choose has the desired item...the AT&T Services are an example. For anyone not familiar with the menu item, try to find it. Though WP7 doesn't have that particular menu item, the menu system in WP7 is straightforward and very much intuitive.

The style of WP7 exudes simplicity. MS is right when they advertised WP7 being meant for quickly getting things done. I don't think the live tiles have lived up to their full potential yet, but the system is already there. In iOS, it seems hacked together compared to WP7. I'm sure Apple has put a lot of quality into iOS but it feels more patched together than a polished job. Example: Maybe they thought of a feature to add into iOS, they likely will just stick it in someplace rather than editing the system around it.

The features in WP7 Mango now exceed those in iOS. iOS still doesn't have an even halfway decent OEM navigation app. Though WP7's navigation app isn't a full-blown one, it is super convenient and easy and reliable to use.

There areas where iOS excels on WP7 are the update system and battery life. MS needs to get ahead of the update system of WP7 and make it a nice feature for users to enjoy. They need to tweak the battery performance of WP7 also. Right now it's pretty bad compared to iOS.

I flashed my LG P500 to Cyanogenmod 7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and when I rebooted, the phone showed 'no service', could not make phone call and all that. I tried to reinstall it many times and even installed MIUI Suicidal themed ROM (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1244560)... but all failed. Surprisingly, when I reinstalled any of the Gingerbread 2.3.3 for LG P500 the sim worked well.What should I do to use the cyanogenmod with my sim usable.

P.S. Gingerbread 2.3.4 doesn't work, either.:confused::(

Hey guys. My laptop recently took a crap and is no longer working. is there a way to flash roms without being rooted and having no computer?? i doubt it but i figured id ask... Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
You can flash ROMs without a computer although it's usually not recommended to download ROMs on your phone because it's too easy to get a bad download.

No you cannot flash ROMs without being rooted, ever.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well wouldn't you at least need CWM which has to be flashed to the phone? you could try Rom Manager as a longshot to get CWM and flash the stuff you need but be warned, make backups as it doesn't work well with the Charge.. I probably wouldn't risk it without a pc to restore your phone

and I believe you can flash a rom without being rooted afaik

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Yeah you have to have some type of Recovery to be able to flash ROMs, which means you have to be rooted. I was just telling him that if he IS rooted, it's possible to flash a ROM without a PC.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Just go to a library or something and flash a kernel and CWM. All ROMs can be flashed on CWM, and the rooted kernel just prevents CWM being overwritten with the stock recovery. The only thing you can't flash with CWM is radios and newer versions of CWM. But be warned, if you bootloop you're SOL until you can get to another computer.

A Simple Phone for "Smartphone Enthusiasts".

Dual Core 1ghz processor, 1gb of ram, 1gb of rom. Front 1.3mp camera and back 5mp camera with led flash and a good design.

Nice 480*800 screen or qHD. We are still working out screen resolution/size. It would be 4inch (480x800) or 4.3" (qHD

The catch here is. It would be off-contract ( unlocked ). With a choice of roms staring with CyanogenMod and Stock Android.

People could port more to it, like MeeGo or MIUI

All this for $299-$349. Remember the Off Contract part

Would you buy something like this? Or would you go with a contract phone that you get with your carrier?

Please leave feedback below
[General Questions and Answers] The-Captain:
Sounds pretty nice to me, so it would come unlocked? I think it would sell if it had qHD screen and you sent it to review to the big companies, get some publicity. Although, sometimes contract is important, what carriers would it work on? You should work it out with carriers to make it free.

Please thank me if I helped.
[General Questions and Answers] upichie:
For that price, yes, absolutely. That sounds like a great value. The physical design, however, would likely play a large role in the people's decision-making process. Likewise, so do the bands.

I'd agree with the previous poster on publicity though. Get it out to some popular sites for a review and you'll likely sell a few.
[General Questions and Answers] cainhunpi:
The antenna is still in debate, we have separate AT&T 3G and a T-Mobile 3G antennas. We will probably go for the At&t compatible one just to reach a larger audience. Pentaband GSM antennas are very hard to come buy for small buyers ( 1k or less). But definitively not CDMA carriers.

Our "game plan" is to go to the community once we have the prototype ready and ask for investment, on like Kickstarter or some other website like that for the first wave of devices, if we sell those we can make more.

I find it very unlikely that we can get contracts any time soon. We will really target the "Enthusiast" market with the phone.

The design will be out soon enough. it will be "ICS ready", since neither meego nor android will use physical buttons bellow the display.

We are really grateful that Android exists so we can work on products like this for a smaller group of people that love their devices.
[General Questions and Answers] jamadio:
Sounds like a phone I would buy. And I am quite the "smartphone enthusiast" and I'm a big fan of buying off contract.

Of course I'm on T-Mobile, but regardless, assuming I was on AT&T I would seriously consider it.

I would like to point out that you would want to consider by the time you would be able to "realistically" release this phone, are the specs going to be sufficient for your target audience? I'm not talking about releasing a "cutting edge" phone, at this very moment phones are pushing 1.5 dual core, and I know (currently owning a 1.0 dual core phone) that my phone is more than sufficient for all my tasks, heavy-duty or not, and will continue to be for quite some time.
[General Questions and Answers] sexykika:
Sounds awesome I'm sure you'd sell many but the design and size will play a big part even if you have great internals,, But I would buy just for the modding capabilities,, add on parts like keyboard, better camera, betters flash for pictures,, that be nice make it unique.
[General Questions and Answers] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Absolutely! I just purchased my Motorola Defy free of contract for approximately $299. My last 2 android phones were also purchased free of contracts, so I would deffinitely consider it and be glad it's not with a contract. Would it be available in Europe?
[General Questions and Answers] Baked-Potato:
If it were to be released soon, yes, because then it would have a running chance at the competing phones being released. The later it would be released, the more beefed up the specs would have to be. Im sure in 6 months we'll be seeing 1.5-2.0 dual core or hell even maybe even a quad core seeing as how fast tech moves nowadays
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
I usually don't buy contract phones, but get the devices of my choice from amazon.

The specs sound nice, but one of the most important factors would be the design.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranklepup:
Alright guys this is becoming ridiculous, theres like 20 posts about wether or not you should buy the new transformer. Ok, you want the latest and greatest? Then stop bugging other people about it.

I love to browse this forum about my device, TF101, I do not want to hear about the Transformer Prime. Go post in the XDA general forum and clutter that section.

Honeycomb was a rushed project to compete with the iPad, therefore there are a lot of bugs and our dev community does its best. With the recent release of ICS this will be fixed. There is hardware acceleration and many other optimizations for phones and tablets alike. This device and other tablets will soon become beastly, because of a software upgrade.

Really, who needs a quad core? Go buy a laptop then, gaming was made for consoles, so dont buy a tablet for your gaming needs. If you do not enjoy the TF101 for at least until the middle of 2012 you are pretty ungrateful fo this amazing piece of technology.

The Tegra 2 is not outdated yet! Please take into mind this post when deciding to post about the prime, most of us do not care.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
You really think its going to be unlocked? Keep dreaming as Asus has locked down the last 3 months of the first version and the slider. There is almost zero chance they will suddenly unlock the TF2.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Quad-core isn't for just games -.- Android is built around multitasking, and it utilizes everything it can for that. A dual-core tablet or phone can multitask faster, better, and more efficient than a single core can. Therefore, a quad-core can, theoretically, multitask x2 better than a dual-core device.

Tablets are starting to be made to REPLACE laptops. Have you seen quad core laptops? They are heavy and big. Have you seen the thinnest of the Transformer Prime? Having the power of a quad core in a extremely small package is great. Just because you want a laptop that has a quad core doesn't mean you are ungrateful, it just means you're trying to get the newest and the best things, and there is nothing wrong with that.

From what you're saying, you mean to tell me that getting a new car with more horsepower, more cargo room, and has a higher MPG isn't worth getting just because you bought the old model a couple of months ago? If it's gonna save you time, money, and headaches, then it definitely is.

Oh and you have no right calling anyone ungrateful just because they want/like to upgrade to the newest thing. Just because you don't see a need in it or want to upgrade doesn't mean other people don't, and that the people that do are wrong..

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranklepup:
I understand it will technically be able to do things "relatively" faster, but I did not this thread to argue against those who want to purchase it. I am mainly arguing if you want the device great, now don't ruin our Transformer forum with countless threads. These threads can all be in the main general section of XDA.

Realistically though if you bought a car a few months ago and already buying another, you have money to spend. I am not sure of your financial situation(I also do not want to know), but most people don't have that kind of money nowadays...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8code:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klau1:
Here's the thing people, pragmatically speaking, TF3 will merely be a difference in degree of speed but not of kind.

What you currently do with your TF2 (ie: web surfing, emails, reading, etc) media consumption, you'll being doing on your TF3, but not more.

That's because Android apps simply hasn't the variety of functionality or robustness as those made by bigger companies with deeper pockets for Windows OS.

Example: Polaris Office is a joke, loses formatting everywhere, crashes all the time. You STILL can't print directly from within each program. Programs generally lack the quality and seriousness of Windows programs.

TF3 will remain as a media consumption device, and so far, most reasonable people will see little reason to need a faster web browser or email reader.

I bet TF3 won't have the RAM memory requirements to run Windows 8, and even if it did, it won't run all the programs as those for x86 PCs.

So what's the point in upgrade?

I will be saving my money for a real Windows 8 slate when and if it runs > 8 hours.

Splitting Hairs

Oh stop! Take what he said in the spirit it was intended, to APPRECIATE the Transformer TF-101 - and the last I checked the forum was created for the original. Not that the Prime is not going to be absolutely awesome, and... it will have it's own Section on XDA for all the lucky folks who a) can afford it. It is NOT going to be the bargain that the current Transformer is, that much is clear. and b)The folks who always need the latest, greatest hardware.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed the first 2 or three discussons about the TF 2, but enough already. That was his point too. You don't go into the Droid 1 forum to read and drool about the Droid 4 or whatever goofy new toy is about to be released. You go there because

you have a Droid 1 and you love it and want to learn more about it, and maybe make it better.

As I said, the guy didn't post to argue that the original is better, just that he loves it and wants to see this forum stay focused on that. sheesh! Some people want to argue that the new Mustang is superior to any 60's Pony car. Maybe. and maybe it doesn't freaking matter so much. It's all good!

Now let me start of by saying that I couldn't believe they came through! I'm not here to bash this phone or company!! Purchased the Xperia Play 25/05/11,From the sony style store, Full price $621.00. I don't regret it'" So now 6 months later the USB port busted well not charging,couldn't transfer anything to my sd card, sucks" So I decide to call up Sony Ericsson customer care service center. What a load of crap! Very rude condescending,and most of all they don't seem know anything about their own products!! So after a little bit of back and forth with this rep" Gives me there 3 rate repair center flextronics!! Don't ask.. Ups delivery on 11/10/11 from Toronto to Newmarket on. Flextronics repair center signed for it 12/10/11. Now after after 5 business days they send my phone back without even being repaired!! WTF... Their reason it has water damage!!! kidding me right!?! then they tell me it's beyond economical repairs" ericsson's customer service manager basically tells me I have a $600.00 paper weight. Now I'm pissed!!!!! So I call up Sony headquarters. And to my amazement, I got a call back from sony headquarters holy ****.... The person I spoke to wasn't too happy I'm calling about this problem ericsson couldn't handle! after I gave her the full details about the situation. The very next day I received from sony ericsson, Mark we would like to inform you that we will be sending you a new Xperia Play Kit.. And we're very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

My phone is water damaged, Was completely submerged in 6inches of water for less then 10 seconds.

Phone was working when I took it out, quick took the battery out. Drove home, took phone apart. Put every piece into rice for 12 hours, checked and cleaned all contacts with some cleaning solution I have for my old cartage based video games, used the rinse, put back in rice, scratched out the 3-4 red stickers inside the phone casing and replaced with small white stickers ^_^ put phone back together and after all that work. 10 seconds of damage and 24 hours of work phone works perfectly again. ^_^

Guess what I am getting at, you sure those internal stickers are not red? Possible they did see the indicators?
