I used a PNY 16GB c4 SD card for dual boot, no problem. WP7 is picky though.

4GB is cutting it WAY too close for any kind of functional dual boot. Each OS takes about 1GB. That doesn't leave you much room for anything else.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] latetogameHD2owner:
that's interesting that my pny 16GB doesn't work while yours does.

I tried to setup dual boot but i didn't do something right cause i get a load error when i try to do from the SD rom.

when setting the card up for dual boot, i was watching a youtube video of a person here doing it, at one point the partition they are working on goes from fat 16 to fat 32 but he doesn't describe doing it.

youtube.com/watch?v=jhuR59UXw_4&feature=player_embedded

i'm not sure if that is the prob or what. I ended up converting the partition to fat 32

i got the dual boot figured out using this guide instead:

[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
As a long time Android user (OG Droid) I cannot believe I am about to ask this. I know it will spur alot of hate my way, but I guess I can take it...

I am thinking of upgrading to the next Iphone (5).

I haven't thought lightly about this. As previously stated, I have used Android since the motorola droid 1 and since then I have rooted every phone and installed countless roms.

The common theme in all the phones and roms I've encountered is intermittent lag. Every phone, every rom, has had lag from time to time. I'm talking about having to wait 3-10 seconds for the dialer or home screen to come up.

I have tried all different homes, scripts, etc to improve it, but the problems remain. The problem is it's intermitent, that's why it's hard to isolate the cause.

Also, the only root privledges I really enjoy are removing apps and wireless tethering.

So a few questions for you guys:

Who here also has an iphone 4, 4s?

Does it have any lag at all?

Is there a way to bypass itunes to transfer music/vids to it?

Anyone convert to iphone and then regret it?

What limitations besides flash are there?

Is there a way to wirelessly tether?

Flame on, I'm ready :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Galaxy Nexus and done ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
A few of my buddies have iPhones, dating back to the iPhone3G. They have all had problems at one point or another. All of them. Lag? Have you ever used an iPhone? Two of my friends have jailbroken iPhone4s that lag more than my OG Droid. They look at my Charge and drool. My friends with stock iPhone4's seem to have better performance.

iPhone3G had some of the most ****ty battery life I've ever seen on a phone. This was back in 2008. Everyone I knew who owned an iPhone3G had multiple chargers (office, home, car). Also, the iPhone3G didn't handle the OS updates as well as the 3GS and above. My friend who used an iPhone3G was basically crippled at times.

I've seen plenty of lag on the iPhone3GS as well. I have the iPod Touch (3rd gen) and have seen lag. My iPod Touch also likes to skip tracks whenever it feels like it.

I can't speak for the performance of the iPads, but I can offer my opinion: they're giant iPod Touches. NOT revolutionary in the least bit. I seriously hate iPads and hate Apple for ruining what "tablet computers" are. Even my supernerdyApplefanboy coworker got upset when the iPad was showcased. He was hoping for an actual tablet (he's an artist), and not just a giant iPod Touch.

EDIT: I'm surprised you haven't complained about your PC lagging.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I hardly ever have lag on my phones, and when it does happen its not extreme and doesn't last long usually just a stutter...

on a related note it bugs me when I watch/read reviews about android phones and all I see/hear is LAG LAG LAG LAG DERPY DERP DERP LAG then the reviewer proceeds to do a demonstration of it and it looks COMPLETELY NORMAL, like they're calling the two milliseconds screen transition lag :rolleyes: and afterwards continue to say how horrible it is compared to iOS, which is retarded because they are two completely different os's and everyone knows iOS has its faults as well (one of which, surprise surprise, is LAG)

/end rant
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dalamar1320:
Being that I am not a fanboy in either direction, I will give my input, and experience.

Lag. Not normally seen in a stock iphone, but ever so present of jailbroken.

Bypass itunes? Nope. And if you have never used itunes to sync, then coming from android, you may have a hard time getting used to it.

I have used android and ios. Regret it, no. but I prefer androids openness. If I was forced to only user ios would I be miserable? Not from the reliability standpoint. Personally I get bored easily, so I love flashing different roms with android.

Limitations? Ability to change roms. If you jailbreak then you can load up winterboard for themes, but you are still on the same os.

Tether? Possible, yet easier to track, and apple has been known to break this feature easily from their end at carrier requests.

My additional input. Unless the iphone 5 has at least a 4 in screen, and better battery to compensate, I will pass. The small screen does annoy me
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
I went from Windows Mobile 6.5 -> iOS -> Android.

Even a jailbroken iPhone still needs to call home (your PC) whenever you want to update it. You mentioned bypassing iTunes for adding music. While I am no expert on iOS, there is no method that I've discovered to do this on my Touch 4G. With the exception of my SD backup last night, I cannot remember the last time I needs a PC in front of me to do anything on my phone.

Lag has already been touched upon, and while I've seen it on occasion with Android, iOS 5.0.1 lags a hell of a lot more on my bone stock, with the exception on jailbreak, iPod.
[Verizon Droid Charge] UnEZ:
There are plenty of ways to by pass iTunes, I prefer to CopyTrans Manager since it's free and simple.

http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager.php

There are wireless tether apps PdaNet, TetherMe, and MyWi for jailbroken iPhones on cydia. Be aware though that it is much easier for the carriers to detect tethering on IOS than android.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Macs=scam backwards. Enough said.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ravanous:
It really comes down to what you want in the long run.

My wife has the Iphone 4 and I have the charge. personally I like the charge better.

Its not in a locked environmet. If your phone lags, and all will it comes down to specs.

My next phone will have 1.5 gb cpu and 1gb ram simple enough for me. Then it will have to fall into a "can I mod it catagory".
[Verizon Droid Charge] spencer88:
This made me laugh. Never realized it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
The main problem I have with the iPhone (my mom has it) is that its browser lacks text reflow. You can use alternative browsers that can increase font size, but this can backfire on certain websites (such as dslreports) where lines begin to overlap. Windows Phone 7 also lacks text reflow, and this is a serious issue for me.

Obviously there's Readability, or even Safari's own built-in "Reader" function, to strip ads out of web pages and display text in a very readable format, but that doesn't work with forums or comment pages such as xda or reddit (which are my favorite parts of the web). This issue is exacerbated on iOS's relatively small screen.

As for smoothness and lag, there's no doubt iOS is smoother in all facets. It also doesn't experience standby drain issues, which I've struggled with dealing on my Charge. Its browser is silky smooth, and touch input is prioritized over all other actions (like web page rendering), so you'll be able to move around a page that hasn't fully loaded (you'll just see checkerboxes).

I was hoping Google would fix Android's lag issues with ICS. I want them to eliminate the Dalvik VM framework (it would at the very least spare their OS's future from Oracle's lawsuits) and run things in native code. If you've used WP7 you've no doubt been surprised at how oily smooooth it runs even on outdated Cortex A8 single-core CPUs.

Unfortunately, responses from Google's own engineers are incredibly disheartening. Take this one for example: https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/XAZ4CeVP6DC

Dianne argues points about the differences between iOS and Android, and how this leads to performance issues with Android (security and sandboxing leads to slowness). But later on in the thread an iOS jailbreaker by the name of "Jay Freeman" utterly destroys every one of her claims, pointing out iOS goes above and beyond what Android does (in that specific instance).

If one of Google's own Android engineers doesn't even realize their excuses for performance issues is completely invalid, how is Google ever going to improve their OS?

So yeah, if it weren't for LTE and text reflow in the browser, I might have moved on. You also may want to consider those issues before switching.

Also as a disclaimer, I've flashed the "pre-alpha" ICS ROM on the Charge, and while the stock browser loads much, much faster than Gingerbread, it still stutters and lacks smoothness. Opera Mobile is still by far the smoothest, but even that occasionally experiences microstutters. Many people won't notice or care, but as a former high(ish)-level FPS player I notice these details and it drives me crazy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
To the person above me... Jay Freeman aka Saurik is the person who basically invented jailbreaking. He is the iOS god-the JT1134 of the iPhone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I thought this debate died a while back. I don't have lag on the Charge, period.

Get a good ROM, Fugu, V-6, change scheduler, freeze stuff.

Or get Apple. If you have to even ask, then you probably should get Apple.

Besides, by the time the iPhone 5 is out, just think where Android phones will be.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mohitrocks:
Lol, worst place to post this thread Maybe you should try an iForum :P

On a serious note, I know what you mean, the UI is smooth as silk, apps open quick and the UI is super speedy. Honestly though, I just upgraded from a milestone (international version of OG Droid) to a Galaxy Nexus, and I really can't complain. I haven't played with a 4S but I mean this phone is buttery smooth with no lag whatsoever. The screen is gorgeous and I love having so much more real estate than a measly 3.7' device. I also could never get used to such a boring UI such as the one present on the iPhone. I mean seriously, the same, overrated UI for 7 years? Although I love what Apple does, their UI is lacking some serious innovation and I for one could never live with that UI on my phone.

As per whether iTunes is required or not, I believe if you are jailbroken, you can use a desktop app called iFunbox. Not sure about this one, but I know you can navigate through the root of the device but not sure if it would play with the native music/video player
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Holy... *that* was Saurik? No wonder he was so knowledgeable about the ins and outs of iOS. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his posts. He somehow made it possible for even a layman like myself to understand what he was saying.

What frustrated me the most was that Dianne did nothing to follow up. She updated her post and admitted to being in error about iOS, but apparently didn't make the connection that her mistake made her entire argument completely moot.

I've always had high hopes for Android, but it's been frustrating me lately. The XDA community does an amazing job of tweaking, fixing, modding, speeding up, etc. to make Android run far better than even stock versions, but only a rewrite of Android's foundations will give it the power to run as ridiculously fluidly as WP7 does on 2009 hardware, let alone iOS on a single-core 600 MHz iPhone 3GS at 256 MB of RAM (albeit at low resolution).

As for Android being linux-based, Meemo is even more customizable and runs more smoothly, despite having less investment into it. Android deserves better. I want Google to stand up and say "we're breaking backwards compatibility to rewrite this OS". Take the lead, be bold, ignore the bleatings of the carriers and OEMs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
With WP7 and iOS not having full multi-tasking support, at least to the level that Android has it, that helps make them more fluid. If you don't have apps in the background taking up RAM and CPU time, regardless of how much or little of the system resources the app takes up, it is still wasted time. In return though, we don't have to worry about closing out music or the browser just to check a text message. If you want to remove the multi-tasking ability of Android, especially if done to ICS, I'm sure that it would be very smooth as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Ok, thanks guys.

So from what I'm hearing, it doesn't sound like a fundamental difference in user experience really. Sure you lose control unless you jailbreak, which causes iOS lag...

Most of what I want to do still seems doable. If I decide to go that route I would wait for the 5, as I have to have a bigger screen.

Next question for those that have experienced it. Is there anything comparable to Google navigation on iOS? I know Google has it on iOS, but it's crippled, I also believe there are paid versions, but is there anything free that's as accurate and reliable as the turn by turn Android Nav app?

How about theming? app drawers? I really don't like a cluttered homescreen with all my apps on it. I assume there is an app drawer app that can clean it up right? Oh, what about widgets?

I also want to thank you guys for the open and honest feedback without the usual dismissal that is usually found on some of these boards.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandonPrice31:

i realize i've posted a few q's lately but already figured out the a's to all of those before you guys even replied(is it really that slow here?)

heh.. anyway, i figure i'll try another & see if things turn out differently this time.

so far, i've rooted, updated to latest .901 radio & tried out both the liberty & eclispe (901 friendly) roms. on both i was not able to pdanet to work(or the clockworkmod tether)... which was unusual, as before i switched to a custom rom pdanet worked just fine.

anyway, i'm currently reverting back to the stock rom & going to try again that way and see if something got fux0red.

but curious though, does pdanet actually work on these custom roms?

[EDIT]: well not sure what was going on with the roms, but reverting back to the stock rom(w/ 901 radio) has pdanet working again.

For those asking what tethering app he is using, you really should take the time to read his post as it states what tethering app he is using. He says he's using PDANET. No reason to ask a question that he already answered in the original post.

I highly recommend using Easy Tether. I paid my $10 for their app and Verizon better not dare block me from using it. Their tethering fees are crazy for how much I use it and I bought easy tether before Verizon even brought tethering out.

Now if someone could make an FM modulator app that would allow us to.stream audio to our car stereos (not all of us have Bluetooth in our cars)

I'm not sure if the flyer has a downanimation but the HTC view does.

This replaces the stock sprint one. Just push this file to /system/customize/resource and make sure the file permissions match the other bootanimation there

I converted all the images from this downanimation for the HTC Sensation so it would fit on our larger screens.
