[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Sorry to hear about that. I've experienced similar stuff like that. I have a hard time dealing with such hard heartedness.

Give WP7 a little time. A lot of the features it lacks will come in the second run of hardware with the Samsung Focus S being the top choice (IMO)

I know I certainly had a hard time putting up with WP7 till Mango came along. And the updating system really scrapes my last nerve raw. But the thing about WP7 is it is so good compared to all of the others that I can't turn away from it. I really tried this last time to abandon it when the Mango update didn't come through for my Focus like it was suppose to. But I really could not maintain a hate for it no matter how hard I tried. It's too good. Damn MS! Making such a sweet system. They knew what they were maliciously doing. :rolleyes:

But Mango has solved a lot of issues for me and the customization of the homescreen with certain tiles and such is perfect for me. We have a "Show off your WP7" thread where you can find out about apps and the look of their tiles, which I find very convenient and helpful. It's here.

Attacked? Really? I simply asked him to relocate his thread and he got defensive. That pertains to the topic at hand since you decided to demonize me without reason.

As for iphone's benefits, gaming and more mature PC software. Everything on it runs on par with it's WP7 performance and there's more of it. It's only drawbacks are screen size which isn't much of an issue to most but I can't type on it, and the hideous UI.

Edit: android, can't think of any unless you want to build your phone from the ground up to be half as good. It's just not a quality product. If you're a hardware junkie though it's where you want to be, just know that the hardware could really show off if it were utilizing another OS.

IOS-

Smoothness

More Games

More Apps

Looks pretty good Stock

Android-

Complete customization - Even without rooting; You can change the launcher, Lockscreen, etc. Just look @ the different homescreens on the Show your [Insert Phone]'s Homescreen threads.

More apps (Less than IOS); However, you can get apps that can do pretty much anything - Such as custom launchers, etc which would be classified as "Duplicating Functionality" on IOS. I'm not too sure about WP7 though.

More games (Still less than IOS)

Open Source (Bigger variation in ROMS, such as CM7, Miui, etc). Also has the biggest rooting community (Technically, IOS is bigger since there are only 6 phones. Regardless, you cant exactly do much to a Jailbroken iPhone compared to android)

Proper Multitasking (You can get an app such as Equalizer to change the sound of all other apps, instead of getting custom music/video players with built in adjsutable equalizers)

These are just the Pros, There are still quite a few cons with IOS/Android.

Just choose iOs or Wp7, if you want to be sure you get updates everytime, even with different manufacturers window phone 7 updates everybody. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/microsoft-windows-phone-mango-now-being-delivered-to-100-perce/
[General Questions and Answers] sajidmc:
Honestly, I didn't like the interface of WP7. very subjective matter, but iOS interface is way cooler.

IOS is bound to be more stable and secure, android would be more flexible. Windows wouldnt get the leverage that it got in the early 90's PC arena due to open source android.

[General Questions and Answers] N8ter:
Apps. First party support. Devs on iOS and android care more about their products. Better push notifications. Better IM apps on ios and android. Better voice recognition (vlingo and/or Siri). Better mapping (Google Maps and MapQuest).

Way better and more future proof hardware and gaming.

iOS is more polished than android. Wp7 from an apps/dev support standpoint feels like Symbian. The ui has many drawbacks and wastes a colossal ton of screen real estate in many instances. My favorite is when you select a list or combo box control. It takes up the whole screen with a text list. iOS and touch wiz phones only use half with a wheel to select, which is way better.

Metro is cute on the home screen, but once you dive deeper the endless palettes of nothing but huge text and no chrome just kills the experience for me.

If you are a light user then wp7 is probably best since you won't require much, anyways. Moderate to heavy users are better served by the other two. Media focused users are better off going with apple, but wp7 is obviously better than android from an ecosystem standpoint. Android phones tend to have significantly better codec support than iOS and wp7, in addition to adobe flash compatibility.

Windows phones aren't adequately future proof. They all use older hardware with lower resolution screens. Wvga is the hvga of this day, IMO, ESP with so many non-PenTile qHD SLCD phones coming out these days. Games have to use lower resolutions and don't run as well as on i4(s) and top end android phones (or even some mid range androids now, since some have hummingbird processors etc.). Games that run flawlessly on ios like fruit ninja lag on wp7 devices.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
As you've gained report as a WP7 troll, I'll bite. How is wp7, from a developer standpoint, like Symbian? They have undoubtedly the best support I've received on any OS, the best developer incentive, and a dev environment that is a pleasure to operate in. Also, angry birds and fruit ninja both run smoother than my GS2 now that the mango update is intact. Fruit ninja is not quite on par with iPhone 4s but that's just because it was obviously a port rather than a new build of the game.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It's from Samsung Italy but they wouldn't be able to make such an announcement if it wasn't confirmed by Samsung corporate. And I'm sure that Italy isn't going to be the first and only CSC to get ICS.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Not going to call BS just yet (I'm sure there will be ICS for the GT10), but it's just one blog quoting another blog. No links to anything official or from Samsung, and I did a quick search and came up with nothing from Samsung (just a bunch of blogs parroting these two, they all go back to the italian blog, though)....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's the original link in Italian. Learning from Amanda Knox, I'd doubt it would be said so empatically with Italy's slander laws if it weren't true. The original story also says "Q2" which sucks - that's six months away.

Just waiting for cm9 sure they will come first
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sighx:
Lets wait and see..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itaintrite:
We'll probably get some custom ICS ROMs (assuming Google will release code on time) much much sooner than that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Nothing from Samsung there, just a blog saying something is so without any source. Like pngface said, the real story would be if they didn't release in 2012, but I think this is just a blogger making something up, then it's parroted all over the internet without anyone asking for a source. Maybe I should start a blog... (Also, "slander" doesn't mean what I think you think it means...).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Another blog without a link to a press release, huh? The internet is full of people saying things... Anyways, everyone knows the GT10 will get ICS. The only question is when, and none of these blog posts, real or not, give us much info on that. CM9 will probably happen sooner anyways... or Task and Phantom will do it first!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nickwarn:
One thing is sure, its getting closer and closer to release of ICS. Hopefully it will follow the normal procedure for Samsung. With leaked firmware being available thru out the web. If theres any truth in beginning of 2012 then it shouldnt be long before we start seing the first leaked firmwares. I remember on SGS when, Froyo i think, was released we started seing firmware coming a couple of months earlier.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The devs are dependent on the drivers released by the OEMs. Existing kernels won't work with ICS so there can't be a fully functional custom ROM until there's a production ROM (or leak) from Samsung first.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pkoper:
You kind of have to press the source button yourself.... and then translate...

The "source" is "naver.com" which as far as I can tell is a korean blog, not Samsung. Jesus, I feel like I'm arguing against fox news watchers. Does anyone here understand the concept of "factchecking"?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Everyone needs to calm down. We will be getting ICS, it just depends on when.

I think a lot of people, at least in the US, are worrying because of the lack of updates we've gotten for the US Galaxy S models (I am one of them). Those are because of the carriers, not the manufacturer. The original Galaxy S (i9000) model got Gingerbread many many months ago.

Since the Tab (the Wifi models anyway) has nothing to do with a carrier, Samsung will provide the update. Good luck with the Verizon and TMO versions, although I'm sure there will be ports and not to mention CM9 for all of us.

Bottom line, don't worry! :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stardust240781:
I asked Samsung US for ICS and this is their amswer:

Dear Michael, Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate on when or if updates will be available due to this might lead to inaccurate information. Should updates be available, you may receive this through your service provider over-the-air, or you may get this on our web site Samsung.com/us. Should you need further assistance for your Samsung device, please call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-888-987-4357, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Central Standard Time.

So nothing official from customer support.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Six months from now, but about 4 months from AOSP release of the source code. And you can expect leaks right around the first of the year.

While I want it too, the fact is that ICS is not that big a jump over Honeycomb, in terms of functionality, and there's no guarantees that performance will improve either (we're still saddled with the Tegra 2).

Where I am getting anxious is with my phone. Upgrading a Gingerbread phone to ICS is a much bigger deal, and I will be a little disgruntled waiting 6 months to upgrade my GS2, just about the time a GS3 is hitting the market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stardust240781:
I hope it will be a big jump over honeycomb. Not in usability but in speed. I think the whole code will be better. The gtab is so f... slow sometimes. Even my phone is faster.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silenus21:
We don't even have 3.2 so ICS will be very welcome from a performance standpoint.

Still I kinda hate being an early adopter, Tegra 2's gpu is so weak.

Want to sell this and get a TF Prime or the Next Gtab with Exynos or better SoC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Even with the source, there will still be issues. Nvidia's drivers aren't open source and the HC kernel won't work with ICS. There willl be kluge's out but they won't be 100% operational. I had a G2X and the lack of source from Nvidia/LG killed the devs efforts.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
I was just talking about AOSP release as being the "official" hard launch of the OS. Prior to that on a Nexus device is what I'd consider closed-source beta. :)

And that AOSP release date will coincide very closely with the first non-Galaxy Nexus device shipping with ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
Crappy closed Nvidia drivers = Open source roms will suck.

Samsung despite having the source code for ages now before anyone else did has little to no desire to update the tab to a pure ICS , even less to customize a TW version for Tab.

We'll see an updated Tab announced before we see our tabs updated.

Blaming carriers for updates is a crock of ****. OEMs want to sell new stuff plain and simple.Samsung make beautiful hardware but there support is atrocious. ZERO reason ICS couldnt be on Tabs very soon after or right on time with an AOSP drop. Like I said theyve been working on ICS/Nexus for months.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] millemots:
Paradoxically, Samsung would probably sell more units (at least into the 'early adopter/geek' niche) if they would get in front of the curve and leverage their early-access to roll out the latest-and-greatest as, at the very least, optional upgrades to users.

An alternative, and something I would pursue if I were in management at Samsung, would be to 'leak' the source to a select, small, captive set of 3rd party devs who would develop mods exclusively for the last-gen/current-gen devices. I believe there is a way you could structure that to work to everyone's benefit.

I was asking about the filename because a lot of people have been getting the older 0.2.1 kernel by mistake. Filename should be:

Try reflashing if you have the correct one, and make sure you're clearing you cache and dalvik before the install.

*Edit* Glad you got it working

I've had the exact same issue! internet2.voicestream.com is working for me however but it's sucking my battery life down the tubes. In less than half a day I'm down to about 30%.

kinda bittersweet to hear that someone else is having the same issue, but its not something I would wish upon someone. Main reason I've been sticking with and loving the N1, was because of its compatibility feature w/ tzone.

I had T-Zones for about 2 years and then when calling in to make a plan change they noticed I had and Android phone and the service rep immediately removed T-Zones and T-Mobile internet from my account.

I switched to the Preferred myTouch Unlimited Web package for $20/mo. So, not that bad.
