Really? The Galaxy S2 is right now the best-selling smartphone ever (iPhones not included, obvious), and it pretty much suits the bill, it only lacks the "HD" thing, but there's the GS3 right around the corner and I bet it will sell at least like its predecessor. Maybe not everybody cares about those specs, but there are many who do for sure...and the other sheeps will follow the hype as usual, don't you think?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Great but not many people think Puzzle games when they see XBOX Live. Which is a huge advantage that isn't being used.

Some of the games I listed are on the top paid games list.

Hmm, Documents to Go has been around for years.

Honestly you can say that about every device even iPhones.

Its not just about hardware, correct. I agree with that.

i can also agree with that, others seem to just want to spread FUD and turn a blind eye.

Great but what about now?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I think it in the different way.

I am not studying marketing or anything, instead i am studying to be a Windows Phone Developer (anyone here has the same goal?)

So when i break down how to make the OS success, I ask myself what people would think when they go to the store and choose the phone, which factors will help them choose the phone..

1. The Design (this has nothing to do with the OS)

2. The reputation (mostly from Internet and from the representative) about the phone and the OS

3. Is it Helpful?

4. The Price.

About the reputation, i must say , it is one of the weak point of Microsoft on the fight.

The Phone is completely okay, lag-free, and awesome. But they have problem about the bad reputation from Windows Mobile ( I estimate over 60% people that i ask about Windows Phone, they refer to Windows Mobile 6.5) . They have the idea in the head : ""once it sucks, it would suck forever" (believe it or not, most people here actually think like that)

Second, the lacks of Microsoft Representative at the Retail Store become critical. Bestbuy Geeks wouldn't know a **** about Windows Phone. They usually drive the customer to Android and iPhone, which they know it better. And again, non-experienced Customer would listen to the representative and believe 100% what he/she said. Because they DON'T KNOW that Windows Phone actually the "lag-Free" OS.

Thrid, people usually have a trend to buy the same phone. Like a friend of mine has an iPhone 4S, and then quickly, people around start to upgrade to 4S from iphone 4. Same with android, Which is such a waste of money.

About the question : "is it helpful" usually refer to amount of apps on the Market that the OS offer. No doubt, Android and iOS has the advantage over Windows Phone about this, and this is one of the main reason that Microsoft need to fix.

And Finally : the Price. I have seen the price of Windows Phone has been buffed to the rediculous.

If i say something like this: " the HTC Titan is $650 for the phone only, but the Samsung Galaxy S2 costs only $600 and you will have Dual-Core processor, which makes it run Faster than the Titan" (I bet most representative will say something like this) .

Microsoft really need to work with the OEM to have the deal over the price of the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xHausx:
The technology is of course relevant, but this website is for developers to share, collaborate and help each other. Apps and Features should indeed be first and foremost here; specifically the creation or improving of them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Hmm, Documents to Go has been around for years. Doesn't come built in. I paid for it back in the palm days. It was ok but not native

Great but what about now? Armed, Assassin's Creed, Let's Golf 2, Angry birds, bug village, Cro-mag rally, Sonic 4, Ghost scape,

Hydro Thunder, Go, Need for speed, ect...

Here is a pretty good list...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Live_games_on_Windows_Phone

And it's actually up to date for my surprize. All these you can get achievemnts on and are xbox live titles.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
built in or not doesn't matter. As long as it available. Its still technically a app.

Notice I was referring to online multi player games.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Technically an app but free to the user, and connects to SkyDrive and SharePoint without a separate app... Hence native is better. GTA was Multiplayer? I was going by your examples so I thought u switched to single player games for examples. You have to remember also that MS hasn't opened up native code but to a few gamehouses. Once they relax more, more will come. For now though the existing games satisfy most consumers as they don't okay non puzzle games over a half an hour if they have a life, or a real Xbox.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Competing products offer the same thing. They also connect to cloud services without the need for an app. Some paid some free, this isn't new.

The only thing new and odd is a mobile OS with Office but doesn't have the "cut" ability. This must be fixed.

This is irrational and disingenuous, don't you think. You're saying people who play games on their phone don't have a life and don't have a Xbox. That's highly disrespectful, and won't get you any customers.

GTA3 was the only game not multi player.

All I'm saying is, there needs to be improvements. That's all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
It does have cut.... Lol per say. Press the word, press copy icon, press back to erase the text, paste it where you want. What is so hard about that? Better the 2 floating icons that you may press the wrong one on especially those with smaller screens. And guess what? That is the same through the whole O/S. Not just one app.

You would seriously play a game over 1/2 hour your phone? I wouldn't. Especially if you have an Xbox or PC that can so much more as they are designs for it. Customers? I don't sell phones and I'm not in retail... But if it makes an android fanboy leave the windows phone area then so be it ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
i agree with you on cut. Cut has caused more problems in spreadsheets that the convenience it adds. In the desktop version of Excel, it modifies formulas in locked cells. Imagine that happening on a phone and trying to figure it out on a little screen.

I'm not a gamer, but I've played games for over 30 minutes. I have fought to keep speeding tickets off my driving record many times. Usually, you need to wait about 3 hours before it is your turn. Nice to have something to occupy your time. On the phone, I am more into old school games like pacman and card games like Hearts for killing time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
See how both of your answers are "I" "I" "I" "I", followed by an excuse.

That's turning a blind eye and not acknowledging a problem. Followed by the usual "fan boy" taunt.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Um... the guy above you uses an iphone for work. He's just stating the truth.

and it's not a problem if you can do the same function differently, and more easily. in fact, that would be what we call IMPROVEMENTS :P

We (as in windows phone users) do love though how you keep asking questions because there are so many hidden gems in windows phone that each of us have discovered and you make us post about them. Thank you for that :)

Maybe you should join us so we can teach you all the NEW ways to do things LOL!
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Let's agree to disagree because this isn't getting anywhere.

I guess you didn't notice the HD7 in the signature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
vet was a Windows Phone user, i knew that, but, can we just stop blaming each other and start to discuss/ break down what Windows Phone need to be improved?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
yes but i'm thinking by the way he posts he was pre-mango as he should know the extras, DFT Roms have been out for a LONG time so there is custom and he posts from a nexus.

Truthfully All 2nd generation phones should be stamped dual core since they run as fast as most dual cores. Then peeps wouldn't overlook them because of the single vs dual core argument.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
The thing that frustrates me, as a reader of these forums, is that vet takes the air out of the room whenever he joins these conversations. Any excitement someone may have... he stifles with his incessant banter of "WP7 could be better".

We KNOW it could be better. That doesn't change the fact that we love it. Why can't we enjoy our mobile OS of choice, flaws and all, w/o vet constantly reminding us of the fact that we've chosen to overlook that which we have?

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, VET... THE HORSE IS DEAD ALREADY!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Why not pm him, instead of a thread derail ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Honestly that's what I've attempted to do. Discuss what needs to be improved.

However just read the past few replies and you'll see that a rational conversation is not possible with some people. Point out a problem, and its "fan boy" or "I" don't use or "I" don't do that.

Another thing I don't see nothing wrong with Windows Phone roadmap right now. I see them pumping out a ton of cost effective phones this year. Look at the Lumia 900, in the states $99 with a contract. That's damn good. Rumors of Lumia 910 already starting to circulate. That's good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Really failing to see how this was an appropriate response.

Should I never use the word "I" to indicate that it is my thought or opinion? Get real. And I am not sure where there was any taunt.

On the "Cut" issue. Take a spreadsheet that has many locked cells with formulas that reference cells that are not locked that users enter data. User enters data in the wrong cell, say R23. User uses Cut, then pastes it into S23. User just modified every formula that referenced R23 to reference S23, even if the formula was in a cell that was locked and not directly editable by the user. On a computer screen (15 inch or greater) you might see what happened. But entereing data on a spreadsheet using a phone, it is unlikely that you will see the effect on the formulas that Cut had. But even then, it is more likely that you will not notice the problem unless some calculation looks way off. Or, if you are lucky, a formula now has an error. In college, I was a part time manager at a fast food restaurant. We entered everything into a spreadsheet. Nearly every month, I would need to correct the formulas because some manager would enter data in the wrong column and could not remember to copy, delete, paste, instead of cut and paste. Could Excel be changed. Sure. But it is also a problem in OpenOffice.

And as far as games, I was actually acknowledging that I do sometimes play games. It is nice to have some available on your phone. My choice of game is going to be different than other peoples. I can't ever see myself organizing a time to play a high action game with friends. I'm 39 and most of my friends are around the same age. I didn't even know my original X-Box had died until our nephew came over. The last I had used it was 6 months earlier when he spent the weekend.

Games aren't really Microsoft's issue. If they sell enough devices to the demographics that play games, dev companies will make games appropriate for the demographic. I don't see the lack of games being a deciding factor with business professionals. Many only use there phones for exchange access (calendar and email) and talking.

And as far as Cut. It is very easy to get the desired functionality of cut by just deleting after copy. It is not a major flaw or shortcoming.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Good explanation of cut and paste issues.

how should i install miui over cm7 rom ??? Should i go back to stock or is it ok to use CM7 cwm recovery ???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Nero:
You can just use the recovery that came with CM7, no need to flash to stock.

*Get Chance and Luck*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majidshahab091:
And what if i want to go back from miui to cm7? Should i have to go back to stock or miui cwm wil b ok to flash cm7 ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
again no need to flash to stock...as MiUI is based on CM7...only flash to stock if you are going to flash to non-CM7 (MIUI) rom.....

also flash to stock if you are stuck in bootloop....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
To follow up / add on to what vinyl2cool said, you can think of it this way:

MIUI, CyanogenMod, and ICS are all based around CyanogenMod's take on Android. It may take a couple of reflashes in CWM to move between them, but they will all work together, no special steps (e.g. Odin or Heimdall) needed.

Any rom with a 3-letter acronym starting with J or K (e.g. KK4, JVZ) will allow you to jump to another one from CWM. It may take a couple of preparation steps, but again, you shouldn't need Odin or Heimdall.

Pretty much the only time you will need Odin or Heimdall for rom flashing is if you're jumping between those two camps. (That's not to say there aren't cases where Odin/Heimdall have other uses, but that's another topic for another day.)

Hi,

I've searched the forum and the thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331784" but I could not find the way to update the CWM3 to CWM5. I flashed the CF-Kernel but this did not update the version of CWM3. How to do?

Thanks

:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosher:
Read the first post of that thread again....

CWM Manager v3.0 is Chainfire's customised version of CWM5. So if you have flashed a CF-Root kernel you will already have the most up to date version of Chainfire's customised CWM5.

I've read a lot how to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 Gingerbread and i did it....after that i successfuly rooted the phone and finaly i'm wondering do i NEED to install ClockworkMod Recovery and what is the purpouse of this. Do i need to change the stock 2.3.5 with a custom ROM?Can anyone to tell me what the differences are? And finaly recomandations for some other from the stock one theme? Thanks

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ivo.velkov:
ok...thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
1. You need to install CWM recovery only if you flash custom roms.

2. You dont need, if your happy with stock.

3. Differences are unique for roms. You can read them from rom threads usually.

4. Cant help you with theme
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -TRANE-:
Stock roms are good but custom roms are way better than the stock.

Recently i change my stock rom with cyanogen and i see that the phone i faster than ever.

With custom rom you see the real power of the phone.;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ivo.velkov:
thank you julle131....and -TRANE-....i'll thing about changing the stock rom with the custom ones...thanks anyway
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] solarspeed:
I recommend you installing CWM, you see, there are some really fancy stuff in UOT kitchen like more informative battery indicators and other goodness, and to install it you need custom recovery image.

What about custom ROMs, I've only tried CM7, but sadly sound of the back speaker is bad. Try it yourself, if you can cope with it then CM7, or maybe MIUI is the way to go, since custom ROMs almost always are better than stock no matter how good the last one is.

After I installed ROM 4.0.3 it required to install new Firmware before that, I did that and everything went smooth but my bootloader got locked and now I cant install new ROM. I am using Soff and got locked bootloader. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The new 4.0.3 firmware shows the bootloader as "locked".

It isn't really locked ,it is just shown as locked.

I have installed 3 ROMS with my "locked" bootloader.

:)
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Some fastboot commands are locked with the new firmware i believe. If u had s-off and custom recovery before installing u can install stuff through recovery. If u don't have a custom recovery check the development forum :)
[HTC Sensation] todorchelebiev:
But i cant install new Rom
[HTC Sensation] blkcliostu:
You should install the rom via Clockwork recovery, Same process as before
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
hey.i also flashed that firmware. but my bootloader shows as "**unlocked**"" how could this possible???
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Did you unlock using HTCDev.com? If so, that's why
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
yeah.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Unlocking via Revolutionary gets re-locked with the firmware upgrade too.

The 1.23 firmware should be unlockable soon by the way. HTC wants the HTCDev.com method to work for it, but it's got a glitch. I am to understand they are working on it.

Once that's fixed i am to understand that fastboot commands should work again even on 1.23.

Download Rom Manager from Market and flash clockwork recovery.^^
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

4EXT is an advanced version of CWM.

They are both fully interchangeable.

You can restore CWM backups with 4EXT.

I was also Super CID 11111111,and after the firmware if you check the cid in a terminal,it shows the original.

If you check it with ADB it still shows Super CID 11111111. :confused:

:)
[HTC Sensation] furqan79:
@malybru

Is 4EXT identify my back file from SD card
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Open 4EXT app.

Go to recovery>manage your backups and you should see a list of ALL your backups from CWM as well.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdeltree:
Hi guys,

I recently tried out that stock app locker app on my prime and while it functioned as it should. I didn't use any of the locked apps for a long time which made it easy for me to forget the password. After several attempts to remember it, all have failed. Before upgrading to ICS, i could easily go to the apps section under settings and kill the process for the application there by enabling me access to the locked apps but after the ICS update, this is no longer possible. I simply want to know if anyone is aware of any methods to reset the applications password. I have googled and done a lot of searching still to no avail.

Any help will be much appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbyball:
The prime has been only out a few weeks surely that's not long enough to forget, anyway I believe the only way is with a factory reset. I'm sure there is such a warning when you first set up App Locker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdeltree:
I know right? Was sleepy when i set it up. Probably not the best time to have done that. A factory reset will wipe the slate clean. If i do a back up and wipe then restore after the factory reset, that wud b useless right?
