[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
Yeah, Apple doesn't really have to worry about making a theming app or whatnot because hackers and other developers are more than happy to do all those (customization, tweaks, hacks, etc) for FREE. I mean look at redsn0w, greenpoison, ultrasn0w, and other jailbreaking tools for iPhone - they're FREE!!

Still, it makes you kinda wonder why with all the power of iOS and WP7 as a stable and working mobile OS, they chose to limit it's customizability - even the most basic functions (like custom themes or background wallpapers or the ability to change icons).
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Complacency is one way to end up bankrupt (general statement). And Apple did see the need for a notification center and a camera from lockscreen.

Every iOS that has that UI is another year that opens the door for Android and WP to gain more customers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
complacency= yes, look what that did with wm6.x.

The ios ui , I don't know... maybe it's great, or maybe people don't care and it isn't. Either way, it has developer mindshare, I haven't heard of devs falling away in droves to android or wp.

If/when you see that mass exidous, something is up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
I think with the iPhone, alot of people have invested alot of money in other hardware that works very well with the iPhone.

docking stations, car mounts, chargers, cases, etc.

It's one reason why people stay iPhone customers, once they are iPhone customers.

I even considered buying a new car stereo, because I could not get A2DP Bluetooth audio to play from my iPhone into my Pioneer DEH7000BT car stereo.

I have since found info on how to do it. I made a YouTube video illustrating how. There were a couple not obvious steps. It still isn't perfect. AVRCP does not work (can't control the iPhone - next / prev from the deck) and I need to manually go through a process on the stereo and the phone every time I want to use it.

In the end, the fact that there is app to accomplish almost anything is still the big seller.

We use PGI at work for creating teleconferences. I never can remember my host code or participant codes for others or even the number to dial. Sure enough, on the iPhone, there's an app for that. It starts the conference and calls you either on the iPhone, or a number you enter at the time. It even lets you invite others to the call. And you can store participant codes for others and join with it. It is difficult to join a teleconference on the road without this, because you need to memorize the participant code. Now it is a 1 button deal.

There's an app for webex that streams the video.

The other day, I bought ForumRunner, so that I can post on xda when away. It works great.

When companies make apps, they almost always target the iPhone first.

I really hope that attitude changes with Apollo.

I personally think alot of the restrictions that will remain in place until Apollo has contributed to developer reluctance. Devs know how to dev for iPhone. It has not changed in a long time. They know how to dev for Android. Same thing. Windows Phone 7 prevented devs from doing things the way they knew how to do them. So, it was either relearn alot to get your app to a small percent of the smart phone market. Or just dev for iPhone and Android and see if Windows Phone gains enough market share to care.

I love Windows Phone 7 with Mango. I never would have tried an iPhone if work had not forced me too. And now, I also love using my iPhone. There's a few things that are annoying (AVRCP and dismissing every email). But it does a good job.

Really hoping that when the Apollo SDK is released, we see a surge in quality app development.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
But which would you guys choose:

1. iPhone with a grid of boring icons from screen to screen

2. iPhone with a more dynamic UI like Android or Windows Phone

The iPhone sells inspite of the UI, not because. I remember all the rumours floating around that iOS 5 would come out with this dazzling new UI. That was a letdown to me.

I think if a blank slate customer saw 3 phones on display, the iPhone would not grab that customer like the rest. However, there are no blank slate customers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
You're giving the launcher, or home screen, or start, or desktop (whatever) way too much eye-time. No one stares at live tiles, or app lists, for 20 minutes. They use applications, and do things. The app list, tiles, whatever are only an icon, yes a shortcut, to the main event. It doesn't matter if the tile/icon flips in 3D, spins, or does cart wheels, its still very limited in what it can do. You have to access the application to _do_ things.

Let the icons/tiles/shortcuts/whatever debate die.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
I agree with much of this. Turn on the phone do what you want. Move on. I don't turn on my phone to stare at animations because they are cool, just like I don't buy a car because its shiny and red. Anything distracting should not be just to be flashy. It should serve a purpose as well.

But there is something to having the ability to display some information with current data on the icon / tile / widget.

Apple's response is the curtain, which solves most of the problem, but differently.

Constantly seeing 73 degrees and sunny could eaily be replaced with an icon that accurately reflects the current weather conditons for a default or current area. This is one reason people used HTC Sence with the home screen weather. A double wide icon for this would be great.

It would be nice to have the clock icon display the next alarm time, not 10:15:00 or the very least have that on the curtain. A double wide icon for this would be cool too.

An icon for music that reflects the Album art would be nice, but doen't really help you do anything. A contact pic on the email pic for the last unread email would be really cool.

Microsoft solves those problems with Live Tiles and Hubs, but does not solve the problem of seeing all missed notifications in one place. For me, there never has been a time when I missed any notification that was important.

Apple doesn't have any double wide icons. And other than the Calendar, the only thing that can be modified on an icon is a number

I think both Apple and Microsoft have areas to improve on both of these aspects.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
To each his own, but I rather look at a home screen and see information instead of having to launch something. And widgets and tiles deliver useable information without having to press.

After all, that is the point of Siri right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Useful information is great.

I think most people agee that Siri is more of a cool bell and whistle to get people to buy the iPhone. It's good at somethings, but bad at others. In the end people play with it for a while, and then go about normal phone usage.

Some go so far as thinking each icon on the phone needs to be exciting or unique, but many are really just to launch an app.

I will never want an animated background.

But, useful info on the icons on my iPhone, would be very welcomed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
There isn't much information displayed on the home screen. A number for missed emails, calls, or sms/something. Even the notifications still need an app launch to reply or do anything with it. The notifications are something I love on android, as it helps dismiss 99% of texts/everything as unimportant via the overview. the way toasts/notifications/curtans displays that info comes down to a personal preference for the user as to wether or not its effective. Generally, I'll know what is coming before hand, but its nice to be able to dismiss them from one place.

Siri.... hmm... there's so much awesome wrapped up in it. Sure, it sells phones. Sure it doesn't get exploited to the amount possible by most users. I'm going to label this one as a user-land failure, much like the other 85-95% of what the phone is capable of, but under utilized. People just aren't smart enough to effectively use the resources in front of them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KimWinter:
I think the point of this post is not on whether live tiles are cooler than static UI but rather on what iOS users can do with their jailbroken phones/gadgets. They were able, on an average, to emulate WP8 and WP7 (even Android) UI on the iPhone, with some Dreamboard themes being able to simulate LiveTiles (I think that was MetroWP7). If they want a notification system that screams on their home screen with all the flashing lights and stuff then theres a tweak for than in Cydia. They can make their icons bounce, scroll endlessly in any direction, select multiple apps and transfer them with just a click of a button - it's like the possibilities are endless.

So given the power of the OS and its very large hacking community, I don't think it matters much that Apple sticks to a boring and static UI.

So I guess this boils down to a simple yet classic question of which came first the chicken or egg: "Does WP7 need to have more developers first to attract a larger customer base or do we first need costumers to attract developers and hackers?"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmikaz:
what's up guys, I got my prime few weeks ago and I wanted to know if I can connect my evo phone to my prime to be able to use the internet on the go without root. so if I'm on the road or somewhere without wifi I can use my phones connection. I know some phones allow this to be done by Bluetooth connection but I have not been able to fig it out.

any help will be great!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If your phone has hotspot feature than yes you can.

Also this is TF101 section, there's a Prime section.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjoma:
You need to use the phone as a Wifi hotspot so it behaves like a normal router cresting a Wifi network your Transformer can connect to. Usually this is built in (take a look into settings - wireless and networks, is there an entry for it? If not, then your carrier has disabled it. If you want to get it anyway, you'll need to root the phone and install the app Wireless tether for root users which works absolutely fine.)

[Acer Iconia A500] phillymatt:

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Hm, now that's interesting. I guess we can more-or-less grab the A200 ICS ROM and slap it on A500. Camera likely won't work, but everything else should. Not bad news, not at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] ax135:
ICS on A200 Experience

I was over at the STAPLES store on 2/9/2012. They had the A200 on display which had ICS. I played with it for around 5 minutes and it was smoother than my current A500 with stock Honeycomb. It was fast in normal usage and browsing like my HP Touchpad with CM9. The feather I liked on the A200 was the added rotary GUI. By pressing the round button/dot at the lower middle of the screen, a rotary dial pops up allowing you to control volume, settings, and programs. I can't wait until we get ICS on the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
even if/when we get it, dont expect the ring. thats part of the a200 3.2.1 rom as well, and the a500 doesnt have that. they have it to make up for the lack of dolby mobile, rear camera and docking port (possibly hdmi out as well, i cant remember).
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
To me this shows how acer feels about there existing customers. I am leaning toword the a500 might not get the update.The a500 should have been first . But of course because its been replaces financially its better for acer to take money from new customers instead of Supporting the existing and NOW QUITE FURIOUS Ones.. They will not REMAIN NUMBER TWO IN SALES FOR LING WITH THIS TYPE OF Business..

Acer should call HP TECH SUPPORT AND GET A UNDERSTANDING HOW CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE Treated.. other then i do not agree with the whole hp web os pad drop decisions.
[Acer Iconia A500] Terrigno:
Id say sell your 500 and get a 200. Its a better tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Qatar VI Guy:
the long wait

I would imagine that Acer, like any other company, is in business to make money. It makes good business sense to upgrade current models before older ones. The update will help it compete with the xooms and transformers out there on the same shelves. I wouldn't say this automatically rules out an update for our A500s. The A200 seems to have slightly simpler hardware as well, so less work in making the update, less bugs to QC before public release, etc. I would give it another few months before unleashing the Hulk rage. My SGSII and my Tab 7.7 are still waiting also and Samsung has a bit more muscle to develop with. All good things to those who wait.... (I hope)
[Acer Iconia A500] garringm:
I have seen my fair share of these threads pop up all over xda within the areas I frequent, I seen it with the captivate and att with the gingerbread update, I seen it with the the locked down boot loaders on the evo 4g. Yes good things do happen to those who wait, I believe that there was an article with an official statement from an Acer rep that Yes ICS will be pushed out to the A500 and that other smaller tablet but it will happen most likely after the newer devices have been updated. And if Acer doesn't put it out then there will most likely be a developer come along that will be able to build it for the A200
[Acer Iconia A500] Overheal:
Haven't yet seen the update on my A200, and system update isn't showing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
As always, these updates are released cyclically, one area gets it first, the next a few days later and so on. Could take up to 2 weeks for your area to get it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jliedeka:
KJY posted a link to the A200 ICS stock ROM in the dev section a while back. He warned against trying to flash it on an A500. I would think the hardware is pretty similar. I'd at least open it up and remove the recovery and update bits.

Jim
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
That's what I thought too, both are after all Tegra2 with the same resolution and all. One thing that could cause issues is if they have different partition layout, but I don't see why Acer would've messed with that without a reason.

The main difference is the lack of the rear camera, and I assume the 2MP front-facing one is different from the one in A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.m0x:
Since the A500 is no longer available in many stores, makes sense to be selling current models with the latest Android version otherwise punters will go with a "more up to date" tablet from a competitor. We will get the update next, and quite probably sooner rather than later.

Is there anyway to do a factory reset from here?
[General Questions and Answers] skipster99:
After much reading, and stumbling over the same posts repeatedly, I must ask for help.

Heres the phone:

Gt-i9100

2.3.6

i9100NEKF2

2.6.35.7-i9100XWKK5-CL754841 root@DELL144 #2

Checkrom RevoHD V4

CriskeloROM Gingerbreak v32

Currently have a Optus sim loaded into it, staying in Melbourne Australia.

Optus seems to be lousy, I've talked to several people who seem to agree. Since public perception is far from accurate, I cant really blame optus entirely. I havent tried any other SIM cards yet since I need the optus number at the moment.

I've tried quite a few ROMS and quite a few different Kernels, not being able to tell much of a difference in signal strength. The phone will have the 3g icon lit up, but refuse to do almost any activity. Then five minutes later in the same location it is working perfectly, with a ping of 147ms and download rate of 327.7kB/s (using Speedtest.net)

Since I am using KitchenPro I am able to change the modem easily, some dont work, others do. How do I narrow down which ones are best for the phone? The answer of "use it for a little while and you'll know" cant be the best answer. Is the carrier-shipped modem the best that is available? I've read the modem ref guide and it doesnt offer anything other than a list of letters and numbers. Some people have reported things working well with telstra on particular modems, but nothing on Optus.

1) Is a baseband or modem something that will either work, or not work? Or there a signal difference from one to the next.

2) I almost always have 3+ bars of connectivity for the cell service, it works fine, all the time, even with the modems that did not allow data connectivity the phone always seems to work. Does a modem package effect both cell service and data?

3) What would be the most effective method of testing a new modem?

4) Is there a guide somewhere that lists the guts behind the modem packages, ie frequency ranges, so that I can look up the carrier, and match it manually with a modem?

Please Help! With spotty services available, and no means of telling if my problems are carrier related or phone software issues, I find this quite frustrating.

Thanks for reading

Exchange Server email fix

Ok I have found apks that seem to fix the Exchange server issues with the built in email app. I have attached them below. To get these on the phone you need to use ES file explore in root explorer mode and Mount file system enabled in ES settings or use root explorer. Copy the files to system/app and rename EmailGoogle.apk to something like EmailGoogle.apk.bak so you can revert back if this doesn't work for you. Once you are done, reboot the phone. You will get email and exchange force closes when the phone comes up. Go back into system/app and click on each apk you copied. It will ask to replace the app. Click yes on each one. Now you can add the exchange email account. The app is still a little flaky when it it updates the first time after installing or after a reboot but is fine after 2 or 3 minutes of the reboot. The widget and contact syn seem to be working like they should.

These apks came from a CM9 build for the Xoom so please thank the Developers in one of their threads.

Joel these would probably be better off built into the rom so it's not as big of a pain to get exchange working if you could put them in your next build.
