So basically WP7.5 Mango has "failed" because it has "no positive aspects" and is the "laggiest OS"? What about trying to make some valuable point? What the hell would an "Extreme awesome" update be like? What do you think they should change/add? Something that will make it look like Android or iOS?

This is not Android nor iOS, this is WP7 and Microsoft has done it this way, so basically all they can and will do is adding a couple features here and there, patching a few bugs and start using superior hardware like duals/quads and HD screens in order to compete directly with Android and attract some serious game developers to the platform. They'll never, ever open source the platform making it an Android OS copycat just in order to please you or anybody else: this platform has its own personality, and that was clear since day 1, if you did invest in it anyway then you can only blame yourself for doing that. Sure, I agree on the fact that the latest and greatest hardware will come a bit late (Q4), but WP7 has never been all about the specs and you should have known that in the first place as well. Also you'll have no problems whatsoever getting there, even with first generation devices, because until then you'll always have the latest software running smooth and stable on your device, while most Androids from 2010 are still on 2.2/2.1 and suck big time (trust me, I owned one): that's what I call value for money. It's not that hard to open the wallet and use the brain at the same time, that's not even proper multitasking :rolleyes:

Watch the language guys or you might get a warning from the Mod like I did for inappropriate language because someone might get offended. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
My God, you're still around? Also, I haven't reported you, if you got warned probably you just deserved it.

Nice signature btw, pointless as hell but still fun. So you expect that Microsoft cares if the update they push patches the exploit you've used to hack and mod your phone. Let them know, next time they'll probably ask you before releasing an update worldwide. I wonder why nobody seriously complains when Apple releases an update that fixes some jailbreak exploit, what would that be, common sense? I'll tell you just one more time, then I'll give up: this is not WM anymore, please move along if you can't cope with that.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I posted a non biased comparison in this thread earlier. The person shooting the video demonstrated android, ios and wp all in different states of lag. If I was familiar enough with milliseconds I could have pinned an amount on each one. Very roughly and only in a time reference not true to life, let's say wp lagged by 1 second behind finger movements. Ios lagged by around 1.2 seconds, and android lagged by 2. The difference -was- noticable, but very minimal on all three devices. Take it for what you like.

As far as loading things from a sdcard, I would expect any os to lag while transfering a 5 or 10mb application into main memory. I keep several of my larger applications like mapping software on sdcard, to allow the phones memory to not become "low". When loading something like google earth, yes there is definitly a wait time, but I believe this is a different observation than the lag in discussion now.

Anyway, I'm posting that video once again...

[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
My titan actually is even a little less then that. Also for all the phones in the video - no screen protector when testing? My titan has a relook on it and there is a VERY small ammount when i'm crazy dragging it faster then i can actually see, but it is a little less then the Nokia in the video. (could also be that the camera filming it makes it look a little bit like more.

Anyway thanks for the confirmation video again supporting our cause.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
That video proves NOTHING. It's not a reproducible set of tests but just a subjective impressions.

Wrong. MS has very own file system implementation on WP7. And I suspecting it's full of bugs and has bad performance at all (probably what's why most 2-nd gen handsets didn't support sdcard extension)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dragonide:
What's the usefullness of this thread apart flaming, trolling and letting android kids shout out their wet dreams ?

I think I had enough of this ;) I usually read every topic in the WP subforum to let my knowledge about WP grow ... but I think I'll make an exception this time.

Have fun !
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
I have to agree with you guys on this one, there is nothing laggy about WP; those who experience these issues needs to take their phones back to their provider for hardware issues. Android is laggy, I know I've tested some out the other day and another thing they have to constantly be charged. I've been looking at other avenues because I am unhappy with WP at the present time but have not made the switch because of the smoothness and the battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
The video isn't meant to prove, or be proof. Its an example, of three devices commonly referenced in this forum. Its the vonly nonbiased ideo I've seen comparing all three mobile os just yet. :-)

I have no idea what the filesystem is on ios, or wp. You can be completely right. Reguardless, loading large files into memory takes time, and this was my point.

Again, these last posts are trying to steer clear of bias and flaming, if its possible. :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Lukehluke:
iOS is a pretty good and optimised operating system. WP7 is also a pretty good and optimised operating system. Android still needs a lot of work when it comes to the speed and optimisation of the operating system. The old 1GHz Windows Phones can compete with the new duel-core Android phones when it comes to speed. So I think that this means that Android is the most laggy operating system when it comes to those three.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Well there's no doubt that as an OS Android is the most laggy, but it can eventually be almost on par with the other two when running on specific, higher end devices. Anyway, it's overall the most lag infested OS on the mobile scene right now, this is more like a fact rather than a simple opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
I watched those videos on YouTube comparing the speed of WP7 and iOS. I think most people are mislead into thinking that iOS is faster than WP7 is because of the iPhone's multitasking function.

IMHO, what makes iPhone slower is the plethora of apps, games, tweaks, and hacks that take so much processing power from your phone. Then again, that is the iPhone's crown jewels...Infinity Blade 2 anyone? hehehe..

PS

As for the Android, well I haven't used one so I can only speculate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jbbandos:
Only if by switch you mean back to android. I tried using a Lumia for three weeks, and just gave up. The most limited, incomplete smartphone I ever used. Even the N96 had more functionality.

If you only do calls and SMS, then WP7 is for you. If you need to do something else (like connecting to an exchange server via OWA because activesync is disabled), then you're stuck.

Besides, the battery usage sucks, and the "responsiveness" isn't much better than my N1 running MIUI.

Well, to each his own.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Besides changing metro to android, what was your limitation? Please explain.

OWA works fine... Change your settings to desktop mode in IE. i use it all the time on my phone with exchange 2010 to access public calendars and to test user names and passwords for new employees as i am the network admin. Active sync works fine, email, tasks and calendar. I respond to meeting requests and even post to public calendars by emailing them meetings which they respond that they accept. Are you SURE you were on a windows phone? All those functions are there and i found them on day 1. (Pre- nodo - only thing it didn't have then till mango was tasks which are there now)

Is your OWA behind a VPN? vpn is the only enterprise feature that it doesn't have (That an on device encryption but very few use that)

You had better talk to your exchange admin because he's got android up the nose if he thinks windows phone 7 cannot connect. It even follows all almost all of the exchange rules and can be wiped from web outlook.

Heck it even does threaded messaging, flag for follow-up and more.

Here is a comparison including android. NOTE how much was added with Mango in case you were looking at older articles and never really tested the device ;)

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

According to the chart, ICS can't even Out of office which i use EXTENSIVELY and is a basic exchange function that was updated to windows phone with Mango.

PLEASE EXPLAIN.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
This thread is funny.

i personally dont understand why people dont see WP7 as a PHONE OS.

its not pretending to be anything other than what it is, a PHONE OS.

and the functions it does it does very very well and not complicated in the slightest. If id have wanted a pocket PC id have stayed with WM, iOS and android are good at what they do, but WP7 is in my opinion the best all round out of the box, no additions needed PHONE OS!! The only thing it doesnt do is run some of my old programs from WM, but then neither would iOS or Android, thats why i keep a second WM device around.

to kind of prove my point about being a simple PHONE OS, a relative of mine was given a Android phone, at least thats what it claimed to be because it barely functioned more than a calculator, anyhow, this person who has only ever used old style keypad phones just couldnt get the hang of, it, wheres my contacts, wheres my txt messages how do i find last caller, whys it so slow, really basic questions, i showed her whats what, how to do everything and you know what she did after a month, started using her old phone again because it just wasnt a good phone OS for her. I then decided to drop my WP in front of her and she just got it, everything was where she expected it to be.

Personally i think a lot of the negativity to WP is based on a missunderstanding that its trying to be a computer or a WM replacement, its not, its a great phone, very easy to use and anyone can get it, perhaps people get so used to doing things the old way they cant get their head around other ways of doing things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
Truth. all other OS are to complicated and need much more thinking is everyday usage...
[Windows Phone 7 General] FinancialWar:
Then Microsoft is going down the wrong road here. People are looking for a capable mobile system that can place their computer for simple tasks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
I replaced my netbook i used to use for meetings and notes with my titan. I also use it for remote desktop. So in a way windows phone did that for me. I have all our passwords saved on excel and synced to the phone. That way i don't have to run back to my office all the time when someone needs something or i need to update a pc. I however wouldn't use it as a Desktop replacement. Just a laptop and only for notes as i wouldn't type all day on any touch screen as a keyboard is way more comfortable. I also wouldn't use an ipad as it doesn't fit in my pocket and i'd end up leaving it on someone desk as i make my rounds to help users at my company.

Tell me what business related task you can't do on windows phone? Word, excel, powerpoint, one note, sharepoint and skydrive are there. And outlook with calendars email and tasks and exchange support (although you still can do all that even with a hotmail or gmail account)
[Windows Phone 7 General] badboy70:
What is the point of function when you don't have smoothness?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Most used tasks on a computer:

- Surf the internet (facebook and Youtube are the most visited sites)

- Check emails

- Social Networking (this is consuming everything now. some people get their news on social networking sites)

So Symbian, WebOS, Brew Mobile, Bada, and just about any HTML capable OS with minor bells and whistles can allow users to comfortably be "smart" on their phones.

People can do many things on a Windows Phone. When you use the all-encompassing "people" you really me you. But why make such a vague argument? Spell out exactly what people cannot do on a Windows Phone and illustrate how the population regularly uses these features.

For example, Skype has hundreds of millions of users. Windows Phone lacks Skype which is currently, or is quickly becoming a basic feature of a smartphone. That would be a good point. I am not sure if you can find a whole heap of points, though.

Hello everybody,

my galaxy nexus randomly loses mobile data. This issue is not present with wifi connection but only with mobile data.

The only solution is make a reboot and after that mobile data begins to work again.

I've tried to update radio (now i've got XL1) but the problem persist

I also flashed a new rom ARHD 2.1.3 and for now no problem but i've flashed yesterday, so I'm waiting to see if the problem is solved or not.

I read in the forum that i'm not the only one, any solution about this annoying issue?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cuker8:
Hi,

can confirm the same issue, overall signal seems very poor :( now I'm at ICL53F.

Do you use JuiceDefender?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alias3800:
Same happens here, and I exchanged my phone to see if it would stop. At least it hasn't happened as much. My advice would be to put a toggle on your homescreen for airplane mode. That always remedies it rather quickly and is a workaround until Google gets on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
I second the Juicedefender guess. That app turns off my data routinely, causing a delay of up to 2-3 minutes waiting for it to re-connect. I had to get rid of it for that reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucaZPF:
Nope,

i'm thinkg about to send my phone at samsung assistance, but i'm not the only one, i also think that google can fix that with a future update, but for now this problem is terribly annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazzawhite:
I have similar issues but mine only started showing up since I started using Tasker to turn mobile data off when phone screen is off and turn back on when phone is unlocked.

One way I can get the data to work again is by turning aeroplane mode on then waiting around 5 seconds and then switching aeroplane mode off. That works for me. Another way I usually go about it is to switch my screen off then on again and my Tasker script disables and enables mobile data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
It's a common issue, people say ARHD eliminates the problem, not sure about that since im in love w/ franco and running AOKP milestone 2. Its a software issue, and will hopefully be fixed in the future. It happens irrespective of radios. toggling wifi on and off resets it 90% of the time

Also theres about 50 posts on this so please follow the rules you had to watch when you joined the forum and search next time.

I'd advise you to wait till Sony releases it all the ics roms are incomplete with missing let features. WiFi on some, camera, data on some, and more.

Now that hyperdroids gone we pretty much have nothing left :(

I hate fancy themes and everything we have left is pretty much it. Trying out darky's rom right now because it's the only one left that's close.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleforge:
Have nothing left? Look around. There are countless rooms on here that are outstanding and the developers deserve respect for their time, skill, and effort.

Try CheckRom RevoHD. It has a kitchen so all those themes etc. are optional
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troffers:
As the poster above me said there are plenty to choose from. VillainROM 3.0 & CheckROM HD V4 are a good place to start.

Search the development thread and you find them ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
lol, one rom thread gets closed and apparently the GS2 has no roms left? Have you even checked how many there are? There are two whole sub forums filled with them :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Raziel666:
The fact that Hyperdroid's thread is closed, doesn't mean it doesn't work anymore or that development of it has ceased. And there are many ROMs to choose from, that have the stock theme, so no point in mourning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
I meant we're running out of options for stock "no theme" roms. VR and Hyperdroid were the last of their kind. Hope VR pops out 3.1 or 4.0 soon. Like I said, nothing against the devs for their great work but I don't like themes. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I have stock (heavily modded myself) XXKI3, so I don't know; but aren't themes optional on a lot of ROMs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaibhav2383:
Dude try Omega ROM by ::indie::

It is modded stock ROM with some cool themes as well. Really good on battery and Performance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Why not just flash a stock rom and root it? You can then mod it the way you like it.

Anyway, all stock ones look the same so not sure why you need an alternative. What's wrong with your current one?

EDIT: BTW, I agree that Checkrom + its kitchen app are a great alternative. Just don't theme it. Plenty of mods available.

Hi Prime users,

I'm a litte surprised there are no threads about this here.

I'm pleased with the general audio quality - feels a little like force feedback in games :)

BUT

I am totally irritated by the fact that the audio only comes from the right edge of the Prime. This is really driving my ears crazy.

What about you? Use headphones? External speakers? Got used to it?

I'd just like to know how you think on this one.

Regards,

pintness
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dysrhythmic:
It bothers me as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
I didn't care really.. I agree that it would be better to have speakers like the TF101 (1 on each side).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I love the sound quality, but yeah it is uncomfortable unless you watch videos in portrait mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
it bothers me a little bit. Mainly when I'm playing back something with sound and I can barely hear it due it's single speaker blowing out from the back.

From a design standpoint, ASUS should have at least included the left speaker on the left-bottom of the Keyboard Dock. It would have made more sense, making the tablet whole with it's keyboard dock accessory than not including no left channel audio at all. But oh well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redvirus:
in fact it is a stereo speaker
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Indeed it is, but without proper stereo separation it is a little bizarre.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pintness:
:eek:

But... why would Asus do that? I mean, if they put in stereo speakers, why not put them in correct place? This looks like a really poor design decision to me.

If only they would put more effort into function than design...

I have an Acer Iconia A500, which has stereo speaker on the back, too.

General problem with those is that treble sounds aren't reflected well and you can't hear them at all, except when you hold the tablet in that ONE special position and form a cone with your hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
At first it really bothered me (coming from the TF101) but now I can manage...

The quality IS a whole lot better compared to TF101 though, making up for it. Still really no idea what they were thinking here though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garak0410:
I agree...weird but it is excellent quality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I am more bothered by the fact that the speaker faces away from the user instead of towards the user. This means that most of the volume the tablet can put out is wasted unless you have some kind of sound reflector behind the tablet.

I know this is common among thin touchscreen devices, but to me it never stops being a source of minor annoyance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
therefore it is NOT stereo but mono.

Come on, that's audio 101. If it's outputing both left and right channel from one single speaker it's NOT Stereo.
