[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sure haven't:
Well its not really about 'convincing' you. No offense, but it's no skin off my ass if you don't switch over.

WP has pros and cons just like anything. Sounds like you're trying to come up with reasons to switch other than "I like it better", which would be unacceptable to the vast majority of Android users.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
cool, launcher7 is great stuff !

as far as Apollo, just like -any- device not yet released, it is not real. It will become real when you walk into a store and see it on display, and can use it. Then, and only then will you know what it's options and capabilities are. I'm not saying you need to wait until then. Maybe buy a cheap phone off craigslist and enjoy it a while ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FTC:
..why would you switch to (discontinued) WinMo(bile) anyway? With your list of "requirements", you better stay with Android (for the time being) ......
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicksti:
The OP meant Windows Phone. Some people still call it that. Was interesting to see in the "I got smoked by a Windows Phone" segment a guy called it Windows Mobile.

Also, not only do you need features that Windows phone does not have, or has implementation in one or two phones (removeable sd), you are calling things that are Android specific.

Removeable SD - eliminates most WP7, iOS

Swiftkey - eliminates all but Android

Notification - eliminates all but iOS, Android

So even the combination of SD and pull down notification means Android is your only option. So just stick with Android.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
If apps arguement will be over once Apollo releases, I think we can leave SwiftKey out - it's an app.

SD slot - Few Gen1 have them I think.

Notification pull down - will never be implemented in any of the WP build. It might mean copying iOS or Android and doesn't look like WP is (yet) trying to do that.

If you think you are one of those men Darwin talked about when he mentioned 'Adaptation' you will survive. Else Android is your choice.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
i moved from android to wp7

sd slot? why?

stock keyboard is great, and i had swiftkey

notification bar? why? live tiles work great for notifications.

the only thing that sucks is the lack of good apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeschevelle:
I need an SD slot because I have a 64 and 32 gig card with music. I dont want to stream my music

I can live with the rest
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Well, RUMOR has it that Apollo is bringing SD card support. If thats the case, you will see plenty of Windows Phones sporting SD card slots.

However, nothing is official yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
That is an insane amount of music. i have 2gb which is closed to 400 songs. I would not want to manage your playlist.

If that is a kicker for you then you have to wait till apollo. Supposively it's coming back then.

You can however stream 25gb from skydrive with an app if you don't want to pay for a monthly zune pass.

The gen 1 makes the sd part of the O/S unless you have for example a surround and disassemble it and replace the built in. That sd though becomes part of the phone and gets wiped to use it for memory. sd however is not as fast as the gen 2 built in memory and i think is the reason you don't see it for gen 2.

The stock takes care of most notifications (facebook, windows live ect) the messeging has all your txt and chats (facebook, msn ect) and your email can have a linked inbox or seperate (even folders) pinned tiles. Calendar is pinned as a tile. You aren't going to get a pull down ever because the whole idea of tiles is a 2 part. #1 is shortcut to an app and #2 is to notify you about something in the app (like weather for example)

I can't speak for the keyboard you talk about but the windows phone keyboard is one of the best.

Apps - there are a lot of great apps. They however may not be the same ones you have on other phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
I know you are trying to help and convince, but the OP said he didn't want to stream. I have similar wants:

Huge sdcard capabilities, swappable with other devices, without needing reformatted and loosing the data.

Streaming is -always- a hassle, even on wifi. Playing from a sdcard is instantanious.

Sdcards do not need to be incredibly fast to play music, save a system state, save pictures/video, or what they were designed to do. Hopefully this is becoming apparent, and m$ will allow normal usage of them in the future, along with backing up the entire phone to said sdcard. That is a huge issue for me.

Anything you say(or anyone here) about apollo is speculation at this point. Until the device is in hand, this apollo talk is all speculation. Unfortunately, leaks and promises are not reliable or credible.

:o
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
actually, sd card speed is becoming more important with onboard cameras being HD, sd speed makes a world of difference with the higher quality recordings.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
Bah, sorry, I wasn't thinking about 1080p when I posted. If/when I have a newer mac 6or8 core to handle editing 1080p you better believe I'll start shooting it with my gopro !

I wonder how long a phones battery would last shooting 1080p ? Lol not much longer than a 16gb card would ? :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeschevelle:
I am excited to see what Apollo offers, not to mention Im waiting for a high end device to hit T-Mobile
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
yeah, with a gopro you would totally see a difference with slower cards. my gopro stutters with anything less than class 6.

gopro's are really sensitive though, i have a 1st gen that uses AAA's, if i don't use high mah batteries, the video quality it terrible.

as far as battery, not many people are filming feature length films with smartphones, it's a record and get out world with smartphones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Ohgood

He didn't say why he wouldn't stream. Mist streaming is paid and you don't own the music. S if is a paid reason, skydive will over come it. I was telling him what other options windows phone has that can utilize his current collection. Also sd cards were not ment to be shared sd = secure digital. just no one except ms has actually used them securely. I'm not pushing him, and I did state all the facts. With windows mobile I used sd cards and they were slow as crap to transfer lots of info to and from. Granted they are faster now but they don't match the nand speed that these 2nd generation phones have 16gb of.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeschevelle:
well if they wont add SD then at least make a phone with more than 8 gigs inside.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeschevelle:
I also need to have a removable battery :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
agreed- the sd part of it is barely used, anywhere. the nand is so much faster, and it's cheaper by the day. might as well just make it a 32Gb phone, and an sdcard slot for the folks that carry their entire home computer in their pocket (on sd). actually, that's an even better argument -for- using a huge nand, and allowing sdcard sharing/mirroring/whatever as a big, dumb bucket to dump to.

i've run into quite a few people who are from outside the US that can't fathom the expense of streaming or uploading 2-3 files a day to have access to them.... while outside of the US. the expense involved for some users of just a cellular phone is an extravagance, streaming and/or cloud storage is nearly financially impossible.

... but here in the US we think nothing of tearing through 1Gb/day or even more to watch kittens roll over in 720p... sigh, i'm rambling now. :-)

Hello! i was wondering which radio you guys would recommend? to my understanding there is both a leaked MR4 build out there as well as an official MR4, i've read mixed reviews about the leaked version so not sure which i should go with =/ thanks for your input!

Official was best for me.

I've only seen one mr4 from open mobile. Can you link me to the other you speak of?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] timski77:
Hello all and thanks in advance for any ideas.

In brief....

I bought a Neo from Ebay a few months ago which was sim locked to T-Mobile. After a bit of basic research on here and elsewhere I downloaded Omnius for SE, purchased unlock credit and after doing a testpoint unlock using a paper clip I succeeded in removing the simlock so I could use the phone with my 3 sim card. Having never done anything like this before i was quite pleased with myself and left it at that. Didn't change firmware or make any modifications at all.

All fine until I unthinkingly accepted the recent update offered to me over the air from SE. After installing the update the phone is completely dead. Can't get it to do anything.

I have of course looked through the threads and tried many of the suggestions that I could get my head around. I have tried:

- Downloaded flashtools and MT15i_4.0.1.A.0.283_Global.ftf firmware and attempted to reflash.

- Downloaded SEUS and tried to installed latest firmware from SE

- Tried to update through SE PC companion

- Tried to get phone into fastboot mode.

- Looked into relocking bootloader?

I have had no success with any of these or lack the technical know how to proceed.

When i connect the phone to PC via USB it is recognised as a flash device but not as the phone. When left connected it appears then disappears as a device.

I would really appreciate any suggestions as to what has gone wrong and what I can try to put it right.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
Hello i am an old user of this superb forum, but now i must write my first problem, here we go:

I got a problem about free space when i use CM7 r2 hboot.

as we know we should have this configuration:

/system=145 MB

/cache=5MB

/data=287MB

So i changed my hboot by two methods (because i got problem so i tried to do it again with other method):

- first was via FastbootCommander v 1.51

- second via recovery FLASH HBOOT IMAGE etc.

after changing hboot i did full wipe, then partition align, then i install the rom (rom link here: http://www.cooldevs.com/archives/394).

When i got new installed rom and i check the free space, i got this results:

135 free and 252 used space.

What was wrong?

Here is a prtsc how look like partitions on my sd-card (Disk3 ~16GB):
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sometimes aligning breaks the partition. Also I think you may find the last line of my signature interesting given what i see in your screen shot :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
I forgot, i made partition with gparted which was booted from USB drive, MiniTool i use only for confirm how look like my SD-Card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
How did you align? Gparted already aligns... further alignment breaks the partitioning
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
i use Cool_alignment.zip, i shouldn't? well it is a new point of view... let me check :)

ps. it is good option to change hboot via recovery? i heard opinion the best way is via command line, but it works fine, also via recovery hmmm

UPDATE:

I changed hboot with recovery, after flash without alignment my desire stuck on the splashscreen... any sollution?

UDATE2:

Now rom works, but still have 135MB free and 151 used... strange... (i get jboot cm7 r2, then wipe all data, then flash the rom without alignment and still same)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
Surely that is working then? The stock Desire only has about 137Mb free with nothing installed, yours is reporting 286Mb in total if I am not mistaken (add the two figures together). :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nooooo you really shouldn't. Gparted does everything you need, simply by pressing apply. Including alignment. That zip is for people who use cwm or ROM manger which uses SDparted with no alignment.

Even if everything works, I'd recommend deleting and retreating the partition in Gparted to undo the zip
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
Well something is wrong i think i should format my SDcard with GParted again and note here results. My friend has Desire too, so i will check it on both devices, last request: Anyone has

a hboot CM7? Because this rom for CM7. I downloaded from forum but it doesn't work (when i flash it i got error and failure)

This thread is about the cm7 custom hboot by Alpharev, not the cm7 Rom by cyanogen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
Bad news, i tried few times with other card and still don't know where is the problem i also check Data++ hboot, and after fresh and new instalation i got 252MB for Data but half of them are used (151MB used and 102 FREE it is little impossible on the fresh and new installation) (why?)

Any other suggestions? ideas? maybe this rom is little bugged? or i should format my SD card?

if i format again my SD card, what size i should set?

For FAT32 and for EXT4? (i got 16GB, 10class card) maybe my EXT4 partition is too big? about 1,51GB?

Best regards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
You can't see ext4 partition under normal system (system/application/manage apps) due to your sdcard is not mounted as /data. Your apps you installed are on sdext/app symlinked back to data/app you need to use 3rd party app to see free space on sdext... For more info look for a2sd+ and data+ script and see the difference

I recommend to use amarullz script, which is mounting sdext to as /data and real data (data partition on the phone) is used for sys app dalvik, u will be able to see your free space on ext 4 in the manage apps

Size of ext4 must be up to 2 gb for stability reason, hope this helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1b50n:
Sorry for not fresh update but i got some good news.

When i reparted (this word is correct?) my SD-card again, and set EXT4 size lower, to 1GB size, this ROM (CoolSense 3D) with CM7r2 hboot work great.

Results, don't be greedy and use less space for APPSors!!!!

Best regards.

My config is:

SD-card (16GB class 10 - AData)

Fat32 - 14,5GB (created as Primary)

Ext4 - 1GB (created as Primary)

Good luck, for people which have the same issue :)

I know the US 5.0 version does not do it. "Screen Capture Shortcut" work fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
Just figured it out how to do it on my way home. This is how I trigger the screen capture on YP-G70 (international)

1. Press and hold home button using your left thumb.

2. Then press and hold back button using your right thumb.

3. Release both thumbs.

4. This is the hard part. Do step 1 to 3 in less than half second. It doesn't work if you do it too fast or too slow.

If it works, it will save the screenshot under the folder "ScreenCapture" in your internal SD card.

I don't blame you if you cannot reproduce it. It requires a fast finger ;).

It works also on the Galaxy Player 4.0, but i don't know, where it saves the pics.

I've tried this several times with several different timings on my ROM and it does not appear to work. This could be because of the ROM, it doesn't work on U.S., or it's another key combo. If anyone gets this to work on U.S. 5.0 please let us know...

[HTC EVO 3D] Klown80:
HI,

I recently bought a used stock unrooted 1.5 Hboot Evo 3D, it worked just fine at first but now it sometimes tends to ghost dial (pushing buttons on its own). I let my girlfriend use it as a wifi toy until I decided to activate it and now she is having problems with it (Still having too much fun on the OG to give it up just yet).

I figure it either has to be one of two things I think.

1. It has something to do with the rom, maybe deleting cache, data, and dalvik would fix this but I am not rooted and have no custom recovery installed. Isn't there a way to do it through adb commands? (I vaguely remember reading something about that)

-OR-

2. It has something to do with the screen/digitizer, this was her first touch screen so maybe she was pushing way way too hard? (I hope it isn't this one!)

Any idea on how to fix this anyone? If it involves having to root it through htc that is fine. I was wanting to wait to see if another non-HTC method came out later since I am not even using it there was no big hurry to root it before.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!! :)
