[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
One of the things to remember, the default setting for brightness is automatic. This dulls down the screen brightness alot, even on the samsung. I switch mine from automatic and set it to medium. Screen looks amazing....of the 900 devices I've got to play with, its screen looked fine.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
the colors and the screen itself look fantastic, its just the resolution on the bigger screen. at least its not as big as the titans lol. qHD would have been perfect on this or at least the resolution of the n9. im either going to upgrade to this or the n9, kind of hard to pick. definitely getting rid of my amaze though
[Nokia Lumia 900] adiliyo:
There are a couple google voice apps for wp7 that work quite well
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
I compared the lumia to the focus and they are the same at the store where I pre-ordered. The colors on the amoleds look FAR superior to something like the Titan. In fact I passed on it because of that, the HTC colors were just white washed BADLY by comparison.
[Nokia Lumia 900] wolfedude88:
So I have had just about every android device worth having, I am currently using an iphone 4s, switched from the Galaxy Nexus to use it for a while, it is a nice device, but I just prefer android better.

I have never tried wp7, don't really care for the look of the OS, but I like the looks of the Nokia phone and I have been wanting to try it out. I am open minded to the idea, like I said I love android, I think ios is great too, just like android better.

I am really hoping to like wp7, I like to be able to switch back in forth to different operating systems.
[Nokia Lumia 900] dblake15:
That is what I am going to do. I will just switch back and forth between phones. Gotta love gsm.
[Nokia Lumia 900] stratax:
once you get the lumia 900 you should update on what you like and what you dont like
[Nokia Lumia 900] wolfedude88:
Okay will do, I usually post on androidforums, but now with me going to be using wp7 figured it was time to start posting more over here.

I will do my best to give a fair review of the phone and what my likes/dislikes are.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DoogieDC:
The great thing about Google Voice on Android is that it's seamlessly baked in to the OS. Since that is not the case on WP7, you will need to use an app. I use Freetalk, which works well for me and can place calls using my GV phone number. For texting you need to do that using Freetalk's SMS app instead of the Microsoft SMS app. However your incoming text messages will show up in both places.

Windows Phone does have connectivity to your Google Contacts, Mail, and Calendar built in. During setup it will ask you for Google, Yahoo, Outlook/Exchange, Twitter, Hotmail, and / or Facebook accounts. It will then integrate all contacts, mail, and calendar items into your Windows Phone.

As for making the transition, it will take some work. Android and IOS work basically the same way so moving from one to the other isn't very hard. Windows Phone, on the other hand, interacts with the user differently. It also has a minimalist design which looks great, but does not give you a lot of clues as to how to do things.

I would suggest getting yourself a good WP7 book and save yourself the frustration of trying to figure things out on your own. Two good ones are:

Windows Phone 7 Companion by Matthew Miller

Windows Phone 7 Secrets by Paul Thurrott

Also Microsoft's online site for Windows Phone is quite good.
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
To be honest, if you don't like the look of the OS, you may not enjoy using the phone regardless of how nice the hardware is. Since you'll be using the OS all the time, you may cringe everytime you use it.

That being said, I didn't like the look of the OS of WP at first and then it grew on me and I really like it now.
[Nokia Lumia 900] wolfedude88:
Honestly that is how I was at first, but the more videos I watch of it the more I like it. It is just something different, it will hopefully just take some time on me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
Actually do they already know what the look of Windows Phone 8 Apollo will look like? I'm assuming the UI will be even better.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LynnL:
I can't figure out how to play a video file with alternate audio, such as DVD commentary, on the xoom. I'm sure the mp4 file has the alternate audio tracks embedded because my brother can play it on his ipad :(

I have the stock player, moboplayer & rockplayer lite... is there any way to do this?

thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LynnL:
Seriously is there no way to do this? I hate to concede to my brother that the iPad is better in some way.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brentsalinas714:
I have took the time to test every good rom and kernel. I thought I would share that slickmod rom with bullet kernel works the best and fastest, it got a 7500 overall benchmark score.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Congrats?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aaronuser:
Ignore the rudeness....thanks for sharing your findings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldfingerfif:
Which benchmarking program is that with?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babyj303:
But a similar thread like this was just closed fyi

Sent from MY Juggernaut!!!:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
Was there really a need to post 2 threads?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
What you meant to say was that this kernel and rom combo worked best for you. All phonse are different. They respond to difference voltage settings inm different ways due to variations between CPU tolerance. Also battery life will differ from one user to the next due to individual usage habits.

3...2...1...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Step666:
As with this thread, the completely subjective nature of the question means that there is no 'best' ROM or kernel or combination of the two and such debates inevitably end up descending into arguments... thread closed.
[General Questions and Answers] Pigjigness:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from a GCI network which is located in Alaska. I updated it using Odin without backing up the stock firmware which was a mistake because now for some reason it is not letting me use my data plan. If you know anyway to help me it would be much appreciated my home internet is getting turned off on the 11th of this month and i will die without having it on my phone either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spartan1987:
So I have a refurbished Stock SGSII Skyrocket (At&t) on 2.3.5. the phone will work fine for awhile and then will randomly reboot. I first tried to factory reset to see if that would work, and it didn't.

Anyone else having this issue, and how did they solve it? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hcyplr29:
Take it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spartan1987:
Not mine to take back. Friend got it on craigslist. Couldn't if he wanted to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Well since you can't take it back then you might as well try rooting and installing a custom ROM and see if that solves the isse. If it doesn't, you can always give back to stock.

Great job!
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
that damn mms bug is really irritating...haha
[HTC Rezound] tech9tcv:
Bugs...

On calls, the labeling is not centered (name and number). Volume is not as high as it is on Bamf ICS 2.1 (IDK if this is a bug, but the volume levels were awesome on 2.1 was for calls/speaker phone not just music). Am currently testing out music app to see if it was randomly shuffling/skipping tracks as it did on the previous senseless release (probably easily fixed with a 3rd party app). While using GoSMS, I wasn't getting notifications of text messages (checked my settings to make sure notifications were turned on). Most if not all of these are really not a big issue to me. I just wanted to point it out. I love senseless and I'm glad we have the latest and greatest. Thanks Joel!
[HTC Rezound] ikk788:

Hey Joel do you know how I could get my verizon to work on this rom? I used to be able to use the galaxy nexus version but it's coming up as incompatible with this rom
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
find the apk online...its incompatible because the the gnex hasnt be updated to 4.0.4 officialy by verizon
[HTC Rezound] cynikalJ:
I really wish somebody could figure out the mms issue on the stock ics messenger I love it but I don't want to switch SMS programs to send pictures....

Yep

And niccee, I didn't know this was 4.0.4

Any progress by anyone on getting non sense systemui and settings to work with the newest leak
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
well....gadget themed up the systemui real good didnt know if i should upload the whole rom though....has aosp look and aosp battery
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
Could you just share the systemui? But I was talking more along the lines of aosp, on the early senseless versions it was so smooth
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
Verizon released a new version a few days ago on the market, no longer called "Galaxy Nexus" version since there are other 4.0 phones. I had issues with the app in the past, but new version fixed it. No need to install an internet APK.

[HTC Rezound] Swifty31703:
I love senseless ICS and I have always had good experience with Joel's roms. But this one is killing my battery sadly... In 4 1/2 hours I have gone from 100% to 25% with mobile data, wifi, and auto sync turned off. I have 3 to 5 bars of phone signal at all times this morning. Man I hope we get an official ICS update today that could fix the heat and battery drain issues. I love the rom just my phone doesn't...
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
I am having a totally different experience. My phone has been off the charger for almost exactly 9 hours and i still have 73% battery. It's been relatively light use, but i have been using it. FB, texts, calls, internet.... I'm loving this ROM. Even though it's v1 alpha, it seems pretty stable to me.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
From my understanding Swifty, your battery life can have a lot to do with the kernel you're running. I've had GREAT success with the PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip kernel. Is this the one you are currently running? If not, give it a try and see if things improve.
[HTC Rezound] bmwhartgeM3:
With everything all data and gps off, brightness set to 25%, very little data usage Im at 72% and Im 5.5 hours in. The weird thing is the battery use is showing my phone has been awake 100% of the time. I check app usage with android assistant and nothing seems out of the ordinary, i tried looking for a parasitic app and found nothing. Is this a bug? Despite the awake I think that is decent battery life.

[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I commented on BAMF about it, but just in case you don't see... :D ...just follow the link in my sig that says click here for custom wallpapers. That particular wallpaper is the fourth one called ICS Rezound Metallic. But check out all of my wallpapers cuz I have tons I've made! :D
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
It's a very nice collection he's done with a lot of diversity. I downloaded a ton of them yesterday before a road trip since I would be stuck in the car. There were so many different wallapapers that each would make a base for their own custom setup on the phone when paired with custom icons, UOT, skins, the whole nine yards.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:

Joelz,

This senseless rom is hot!

I can live with having to unlock the screen to see who is calling & the mms thing which is easily overcome by using gosms.

One question though... Y u no put Beats audio music player in here?

[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
How do you add the stick sense camera,? I put the apk in system app and set right permissions and reboot but it diddnt install
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Is the gallery not seeing the photos at all on your phone? Or just when you access through contacts? If it's not recognizing your sd card then it's a firmware/install error. If the gallery works and the OS sees the SD card it could be a bug or some other issue.

If it's the first one, when you give us some details we can help fix it.
[HTC Rezound] 05Warrior:
No the ROM is seeing the photos on the SD card just fine. It seems to be just the contacts at this point.
[HTC Rezound] :
holy battery life batman! I thought all was lost but this ROM keeps me charged way longer than any other senseless roms so far, no disrespect to scott but Joel, you're rockin it bruh
[HTC Rezound] jblist90:
I have used both CleanRom DE and this, very impressed Joel, this has become my DD.

Completely understand this is a preview so don't wanna start requesting features or complaining just wanted to make you aware of a few issues/requests. When using google music, lockscreen goes completely black and stays that way until a reboot. Multitasking seems to be distorted and off, anyway to get stock ICS multitasking? Would also love the battery to show percentage.

Regardless of all this, this ROM is by far the best available for the rezound today. If you had any doubts, flash away, BAMF is golden.

Im running the old firmware with patch. I plan to update my firmware later today. Would I be able to make a nandroid and go back to this rom after I re-lock, upgrade, and unlock since I applied the patch already? Is there a way to undo the patch, will it work regardless, or do I need to start from scratch? Thanks for your help.
[HTC Rezound] QBall45:
I wouldn't dare think of it. Just upgrade firmware, unlock & add recovery & then flash the rom. Yes this means setting up all over again. Choosing to do anything less is setting yourself up for pain.
[HTC Rezound] unclebrudy:
Great ROM Joelz, really smooth and lightweight.

Just a quick Fyi to all, make sure you update Voice Search. The included system app is wonky when used for voice input but more punishing is that it does NOT set alarms properly when using Voice Actions. I found this out the hard way this morning.

Full screen dial pad

Hey Joel- one of the main reasons I'm looking at a senseless rom is to have the default ICS full screen dial pad. Is there an easy fix to make that happen?
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
As you were told in the DE thread where you asked the same question, not an easy fix because of the sense framework in place
