@Atomos33

Thanks for criticism. Windows mobile was just a typo, it's corrected now.

I see that you mention a lot more phones running WM7. I was kinda more focused on latest and top end handsets that's why I did not mention HD7 or Acer.

I know about MMS config app by Nokia. Unfortunately they retrieved it from market because of some security issue. Even so link from zune works, but there is no option to install it. Adding or editing apn manually does nothing.

Bloatware does not exist in unlocked phones. With locked to SFR or Orange you will have plenty if crap pre-installed, but fortunately in most cases it can be uninstalled.

Nokia offers cover, you mean support? Well HTC offers good support too, but only for 1st six months. Let's see how long it will be for Nokia.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Atomos33:
No Nokia gives you a cover made in rubber with the phone to protect the phone.

About the bloatware I have an orange Lumia and the app being pre installed is normal but it can be removed. In Android you don't have the choice. So I don't consider it as bloatware. The only downside of this is that MS only leave OEM and carriers one slot for tile color and orange replaced it by their orange.

Thanks for the review, it's nice to read about Windows Phone from a long-time-Android-user viewpoint without bashing it unnecessarily. I like the idea behind WP, though I think it needs more time to become a real competitor to Android and iOS.

As a fellow HTC Hero user I'll stick to my Hero for a few more months and will most likely upgrade to another Android device (Xperia S looks terrific), but I really appreciate you doing this review. Cheers.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Booyahh:
Nice review.

I actually joined this forum (xda) to ask about battery life and some more details for the Sony Xperia P smartphone.

Actually, I have never used a touchscreen phone, and all of the features are new to me. I have been using SE's k750i phone for more than 6 years.

And smartphones are a bit confusing to me.

I have got some questions about Nokia's interesting Lumia WP smartphone. In my country, a new Lumia is 270 euro, contract free but I have one offer of a month or two old Lumia for 210 euro. Completely new with no signs of use. That puts it in the class with these phones: Samsung Omnia W, Galaxy Ace 2 and Xperia Sola. Same price for all. So I am a bit confused which to buy.

Could you guy at least help me with impressions on Lumia 800 vs Omnia W? Those two phones are almost the same specs on paper, and are WP7... Is the Nokia that much better?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Carlo82:
Go for Lumia 800. What makes it special for me: strong and beautiful shape, Nokia special apps (Drive, Camera Extras), crisp display, accurate touch, never crashes, WiFi sharing very stabile. Disadvantages: camera quality not top.
[Nokia Lumia 800] piyushjeswani:
Thanks for a great review.

Did help me know a lot about WP 7.5
[Nokia Lumia 800] whitealien:
I'm glad it help you with choice.

Since thread got unburied I took an effort to bring some updates to the post.
[Motorola Droid X2] robertsneed:
What program to use and what is safe to freeze? I have already tried AntTek app manager and App Quarantine. I have root explorer and not quiet sure how to use it to freeze apps.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I use Super Manager but I think the free ver won't do freezing. Its build into the apk manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Use root explorer to find the system/app .apk u wanna freeze and rename it to.bak

Be careful..freezing some apps can cause force closes or issues in other apps if they are dependent on the one u froze....nandroid first just in case u need to restore
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) and ROM Toolbox Pro (paid version) freeze apps.

I don't know of any free app that does this.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Only thing is BF used to be the BEST at it.

And was a lightweight app SPECIFICALLY for freezing.

I didn't want an app with all those "features" I didn't use so were useless to me
[Motorola Droid X2] robertsneed:
I can see at the apks in root explorer. Now how do i change the last part and when i do change it where should i store it.

Ashclepdia I hope you year has started out good... And thanks for all the steps on rooting my phone. Your right once you start it becomes addicting and eclipse is cool, I wish i could use the boot up screen as a live wallpaper..

And again thanks for everything on rooting
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Lol

I didn't create rooting :p

I know what you mean tho lol

All u gotta do is long press the apk and choose rename....and just add to the name .bak

(u gonna have to mount/system as R/W first to be able to edit anything though....just Tap the gray button on top of screen once u are in /system/app)

After you rename it there is no reason to move it. You could just move the apk to your sd card or straight up delete also. But I don't recommend that until u figure out what is safe to remove without causing problems....

As I said tho...be careful what u "freeze"

Things like Yahoo.apk if frozen will break your contacts.. They will force close on u.

Ooh yeah...and thank you hope yours is too

And your welcome. ;)

Have fun experimenting! Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] robertsneed:
Ok.. Got it so it will just stay in the same location. So, no freezing yahoo.. My year has started out not drama free...lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah that's fine to leave it there:)

And my year isn't exactly dramas free but I do have a lot of good things to look forward to...

so far so good tho lol besides losing my wallet new years eve lol

Happy I found it the next day in my friend car lol
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Speaking of this does anyone know the apk name for places and latitude. It just clutters my drawer.
[Motorola Droid X2] Srambo217:
Bloat Freezer or Titanium Backup have also worked great for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] akram_1:
Heya,

Which app should i use for overclocking acer a500.

-> CPU Tuner

-> An tu tu CPU Master

-> CPU Boots Lite

-> Buy me a Beer

Sorry Guys im new to this stuff, Plz help me out....:(

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Either AnTuTu (I use on my tab) or SetCpu (I use on my phone) are fine for me. If you want to run profiles, you will need to get the paid version. (set your cpu speed based on battery remaining).
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
way to test out paid apps, buy if you like it

Google this "SetCPU for Root Users 2.2.4.apk"

Download 1st post from google.

in the future... if you see a update in "Market - My Apps" get new version # from {description} and google it.

After testing a Paid App, if you like it, buy it.
[Acer Iconia A500] akram_1:
Right, Now Im using SetCPU (paid app), but nothing happening I put Max and Min both to 1000 MHZ but nothing happening it not overclocking.

Is there some kind of setting i need to do under Advanced tab?
[Acer Iconia A500] xST4T1K:
OCing

In order to overclock, you will need a custom kernal. Typically factory roms that are not mass produced on multiple devices from the same company will have a kernal that will only allow the cpu to sit in specific frequencies. Without a custom kernal setcpu, or another oc app will only let you change the cpu settings between the factory kernal clock speeds. hope this helped.
[Acer Iconia A500] akram_1:
Thanks where i can get good kernal Rom. Right now im using

{ROM 3.2.1}{The Collective}Epiphany - 1.11.12
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
you should Read His Thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439351 (only 8 pages till end)

pay attention to Changing Kernel Q+A

If you still don't know ask there (about OC up to 1.5, 1.6 ability)

for HC v3.2+, I like "2.6.36.4-thor-V3.9r3" Kernel

^^But that doesn't mean it will work.^^

Remember, if you use a different kernel, it will most likely affect some apps and functions.

If you re-post and say, something doesn't work, They'll probably say something like "I don't know about that, i don't use that kernel"

If you're comfortable (and have read enough), Experiment a little, knowing you can always go back to Backup ROM.

All ROMS (99%+) will flash thier proper Kernels from Re-do
[Acer Iconia A500] ryukiri:
Just saying, OC up to 1.5 is good, but I'm not sure about 1.6 or 1.7

Anyone tried that yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BenJG:
Hi All,

I know that the Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass, but does anyone know how scratch resistant the screen is? I have never used screen protectors, and don't really want to put one on my Nexus, but if the screen is easily scratched I might have to think about it. Any thoughts?

BenJG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordangel1221:
Just put the screen protector. It better having one and not need it. Than not having it and needing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Is_907:
I have a Zagg Invisible Shield on mine. It's really nice... adds a bit of friction, but is just a minor learning curve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I know how you feel OP. My previous two phones had Gorilla Glass I and never felt that I needed a screen protector. However, the coating on this screen does scratch fairly easily so I recommend picking one up. I just put an XO Skins screen protector on mine and I am loving it. You can't even tell it's there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BenJG:
@sn0warmy: Thanks for this. When you say it scratches easily, just how easily? I tend to treat my phones pretty gently (i.e. never in the same pocket as keys etc), so do you think I still need a protector? Is the screen at all scratch resistant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrBojangels:
Yes, many people are getting scratches on their phones from just random dirt in their pockets.

It sucks...I've had Gorilla Glass phones in the past, that have been thrown like a baseball at cement walls that haven't scratched or chipped, not to mention never needing a screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spywhite:
With all my phones I have used an Otterbox Defender series while at work and a sunglass bag when off work, out and about. It works for me, I'm not too clumsy and I am fairly careful with my phone so no scratches for me. I don't know exactly why, but I dislike having to use a screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
The GNex DOES HAVE fortified glass, it's just another type without the Gorilla name.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...es-about-Gorilla-Glass-look-silly-now_id23880
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alias3800:
The GNex, while a great phone, does not have the gorilla glass that you've all come to know on other phones. It's bad, and your pocket might as well be sandpaper around it. Cover it up quickly with a screen protector. I speak from experience, my GSM version GNex got "mysteriously" scratched from one day to the next.

Now the question is: Which one? Zagg is leaving horizontal lines on my screen and is pissing me off, so that's out of the question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
This is all very strange to me, because I had my SGS for nearly a year, never used a case, tossed it in my handbag or hoody pocket with my keys all the time...it has no visible scratches.

I've had my Gnex since Christmas and it already has one deep scratch and also a "ding" in the glass, both of which can be felt if you run a fingernail across the defaced area. I have not been nearly as rough with it as I was with my SGS.

I know the plural of "anecdote" is not "data", but still, my Gnex now wears a screen protector, as much as I hate the bl**dy things. I'm also waiting anxiously for someone to come out with a protective case that I don't hate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
@alias3800 @lilirose --> I guess, judging from both your experiences, it does seem like the Gnex has fortified glass, that is weaker than the well known Gorilla glass from e.g. SGS2. Not that Gorilla glass can't get scratches or break (I've had both situations), but from your descriptions I get the feeling, that it will take less force to damage the GNex fortified glass.

If true and if Gorilla glass is stronger, then one can only wonder why Samsung didn't use it on the GNex, like on the SGS2. Doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway, I will have to see. I hate cases and screen protection, so I will take the chance with no protection and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpowder1966:
get some ghost armor, i hate screen protectors and im loving the protection from this product as so many people have had alot of scratching problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LBTaylor1984:
You can't curve Gorilla glass from my understanding, thus not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
On the same data point, I've discovered that dry-application screen protectors are worthless on the Gnex because of the curved glass. I was afraid of the wet-application ones but I decided to try one (XO Skin) after going through 12 dry-application ones without getting a single one aligned and placed without enormous bubbles and peeling edges. :eek: I admit I suck at applying the dry ones but with the Gnex it seems pretty much impossible to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledgeyj:
I consider myself to be gentle on my phones. That being said, I already have a couple small scratches in the glass that in my opinion would not have occurred with a higher grade of fortified glass. I am sure the screen curvature factors into the options they had. So what screen protector is most recommended that is invisible and does not increase friction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
I don't think there is one that's 100% drag-free, but the best one I've found is XO Skins....it doesn't have an orange peel texture, and the drag is only slight after you've broken it in a bit. When I first got mine I thought I wasn't going to be able to stand it because it was rubbery, but after two weeks of use it only feels slightly different to my SGS (which has bare GG).

MOD EDIT: As of November 7th CoreDroid officially moved all its support to another site.

Due to repeated kanging from other Roms as well as needing CST paid version to obtain the latest version of the Rom, anything related to the CoreDroid team is not allowed to be posted anymore on XDA and is from now on considered warez.

This includes: Signatures, links, themes, as well as any work developed by the CD team or included in any Rom.

TL;dr: If you included anything from CD in your work, you have to remove it.

We appreciate your understanding on the matter in hand,

Dragonzkiller don't worry about giving us a eta just knowing you guys are working on it is good enough. I have full faith that you guys will get it working at some point and I wanted to say thanks to all the dev's working on this and the continued support to make this phone better!
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
Thanks to the devs. These [REF] posts are informative and a good read. Knowing development is still going on is good, keep up the work; as previous poster said dont worry about ETA.

Oh we will be able to. 2nd init is working fine, depending what version you are using. It's our init.rc that is messed up atm or something related to it.

[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Good to see my ideas last night got you thinking. Wish I knew how to compile a CM build myself to test my ideas lol.

Edit: In other news when we get CM porting done, MIUI will be a breeze. Atrix has a build already so I just need to take their base, add our radio and some other stuff. It will be a cake walk.

Edit2: When we get a booting CM (Even with tons of hardware bugs) I will be able to fix most of the bugs within a day or so. I helped fix a bunch on the D2G and also for getting MIUI to boot across the various devices. So Dragonz, take not and shoot me your first booting build so I can get all the hardware bugs sorted out and you can commit them to the overlay.

[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
So does this mean all of the crazy 2nd-init specific stuff is worked out and now it's just like trying to get it to boot on any other phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Holy crap!!! The Droid X2 is my first Android smartphone and are you telling me soon I'll be about to do basic Android guy stuff like install CM7!?!?!?

This is a GOOD DAY!!!!!!

Silly noob question.

Would this mean CM9 coming to the X2 a few months after CM7? or does the locked bootloader make installing an ICS kernal impossible?
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
It means the possibility is there, and I'll bet someone will do it. A different kernel does not necessarily need to be installed...the X CM7 nightlies run over moto's froyo kernel.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
CM9/ICS is a completely different ball game. Although we may have a working configuration for our device, ICS (which CM9 is based off of) handles it's drivers WAY differently. So that would be a HUGE undertaking to get that up and running. I'm not saying that it's not possible, but it will take a lot more work to get up and running. The kernel shouldn't matter.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Thank you all so much for working on this!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
I understand now!

Can't wait to play with CM7 and see more if not the full power of the X2.

Well that confirms it for me. There no way anyone going to do all that work to get an ICS base ROM on this phone. Unless Motorola/Verizon does it,but I really don't think there going to put in all the work for a phone they never advertised when it came out and that their selling for 50 bucks now.

Thanks for the info DK.

Never should happen.
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
Those are valid problems. Hopefully this ROM will fix them. But you don't want the Inc2, I played with a buddies and was fairly unimpressed.
