I've only been an Android guy. Today I went and played with some WinMo 8 devices and was impressed by the general UI and the screen clarity. That was about it though... the OS was hard to navigate and I got lost in it a few times... didn't like the Carl Zeiss on the Lumia 900 either...

So, I will be getting either the next Nexus or the Galaxy Nexus, depending on if the new one is out... And as you said ICS is a beautiful thing!!!

There's no winmo 8 or even windows phone 8 yet.

As a whole, ICS feels like the same stuttery unintuitive mess I got from all other android builds, but I guess if winmo was your bag you grow accustomed to sacrificing performance and usability for a more feature enriched ecosystem.

well if all android builds are stuttery unintuitive mess's then u maybe need to try another device... my hd2 runs android like a dream... if i didnt know better, it could be the native os...

im unaware of what performance and usability im sacrificing... as my phone performs just as quick if not quicker than winmo ever did... even with energyroms... boot time is quicker... battery life is better... its a more finger friendly os than winmo...

i see ur a windows fan still... each to their own... as a whole, iv never rated nokia as a manufacturer of high end devices, but their deal with microsoft was the best thing they could have ever done... meego, symbian and the other crap they used to ship their devices with was a joke...
[Off-topic] TheDaddy187:
the ui (metro) can be downloaded from google play for free if u like the ui... screen clarity is down to the device really... wp7 is quick but really lacks any kind of spark for me... and coming from winmo, i really wanted to love wp7 but i just dont...

as for an upgrade id always suggest htc... kies for the samsung devices is the worst piece of software ever written... and theres just something about sony ericsson devices that feels cheap to me... if memory serves (which it probabily dont) the first nexus was made by htc... a few of them were made by samsung... dont hold me to that :p
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
You can't download the UI, you can download a cheap, laggy imitation that almost drove me from wp7 initially because I thought that was all it was. You don't sacrifice speed or stability from winmo to android because they're both stuttery and unstable. Winmo felt like a beta OS, android continued on that beta. Wp7 feels like something more solid and complete in comparison.

launcher 7's not laggy, lol. It is somewhat limited atm, but live tiles are coming very soon.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
In comparison to the real deal, it's laggy. Android simply isn't built to be smooth. Honestly, winmo is better built, had they improved the UI, worked on the hardware, and built a viable marketplace, they'd have Android's spot. Unfortunately, Bill Gates wanted a mobile version of windows... He was the only one.

[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
No, android stutters due to a number of factors. Windows Phone takes measures to prevent such things. Launcher 7 is disappointing, it almost drove me from windows phone before I'd tried it because I installed it and thought, "So this is all WP7 is? Boring." Then I got a cheap HD7, even that tired old device blew away anything else on the market in terms of fluidity and speed.
[Off-topic] thebobp:
I've noticed you keep trying to change your focus, from "Launcher 7" to "Android". Composition fallacy?

WP is indeed more than what Launcher 7 is.. but not by much, and the gap gets smaller everyday.
[Off-topic] vnvman:
Ok, I'll make a small confession too then, shall I? ;)

To be honest WP7 looks like a very well designed and consistent OS to me, but as any other it has its own bugs. Sure it's quite stable, especially compared to Gingerbread, but it's no Swiss watch by any mean. For example, people criticise Android because of force closes, but honestly WP7 isn't very different: at times you tap on some app and you get kicked back to your home screen, and you can't fix it without rebooting the phone or even reinstalling the app from scratch, eventally losing all of your settings. Sure you don't get the "force close" message, but this actually IS a force close. Talking about lag, I can't really say that WP7 is as consistent as some tend to describe it. Sure I'm insanely fast at typing, but at times the input is delayed, and in many situations the ICS keyboard on my SGS2 was generally faster and more fluid.

This said, I like the idea of WP7 a LOT. I love the design of every single thing, everything has been made with very good taste and always keeping the focus on user experience. I've been using WP7 for about 5 months now, and honestly I wouldn't go back. I think that WP7 is really close to perfect as a PHONE OS (for my perosnal taste at least), because let's face it: first of all a phone should be something you use for keeping in touch, doing some light browsing/tweeting and enjoying some media content on the go. Some people say that Android has more features and is generally better for so called "power users". I used to think that too, but honestly, growing up a little and actually starting to have a real life and some sort of job I came to think that phones in general are not really meant for power users. Now I know I'm on XDA, right? Don't kill me please, just let me explain. A phone has some really annoying features: small battery, small screen (yes, they generally are small, and good luck carrying a Note without cargo pants, or either operate it with one hand), and last but not least, people can always call/text/mail you when your doing your ****s. For a REAL power user this should be annoying, right? For me the best solution would be carrying an Android tablet and a WP7 device, so you can have a good and reliable communication device, fast and easy to use, AND a tablet for doing the real business as a real laptop replacement, or even just for tinkering, trying ROMs, gaming and all that jazz. A tablet has a huge battery, a very enjoyable screen and when you're using it people can still reach you on your phone without bothering you too much.

This summer I'll be definitely getting a good 10" slate with ICS on board, but I guess I won't be using it anymore as a phone OS. WP7 is my ideal phone OS: it's reliable, good looking and easy to use, and it helps me keeping focused on what really matters in my life: work, sports, friends and girls. An Android PHONE is probably too much for me, I'm too easily distracted. Now this is my very personal story, and my very personal preferences. Everyone should be enjoying his phone (and his life of course), hating is pointless. Peace out :)

i bet my "tired old hd2" will out perform your young, perky NOKIA... and i reckon it wont just be the hardware that makes the difference... u must have had some really bad versions of android because iv not had 1 laggy, slow or memory hungry version... and i have NEVER owned an android phone...

android supports 3d which no other platform has... supports quad core... wp7 cant yet support dual core... windows has been around since the dinosaurs and STILL lacks a decent marketplace...

android over wp7 any day...
[Off-topic] TheDaddy187:
well said... and yes, its all down to preference... theres many (stupid) people that believe the i phony or crapberry is the way forward... not at all... i believe its android... i rarely have force closes... beyond that i have no problems at all with android on my WINDOWS MOBILE device...
[Off-topic] vnvman:
Android actually is a really good all around platform. I guess it's the best pick for many, if not most people these days: you can get it on any sort of device at any price. Also, not everybody can afford both a phone and a tablet, and Android is definitely the best all arounder. Also, the fact that it tends to look familiar to previous Symbian, iOS, BBOS and even WM users makes it appeal to many. Anyway I always hope that every single platform out there manages to survive and succeed at some extent, without some tough competitors Android would become stale in a few years like Symbian and BBOS. Actually the fact that it doesn't belong to a single OEM is a big boost for the platform as a whole already. Future still looks very bright for the green robot IMHO.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
I didn't recognize android lag until I used something more stable either. Now it's painfully apparent. Jumping from winmo to android would have to feel like an improvement because winmo was just generally bad. I mean, in it's time it was ok at best. It had it's MMOs and stuff but never got past the point where you felt you needed a stylus in some places. It was always a PPC OS and never a smartphone OS. Android is a continuation on this, and while it's remedied most of the issues, lag and stability are not one of them. Perhaps I push my android phones harder with games like Dungeon Defenders and such, but I had to reset my gs2 daily for the week I had it. My Nokia Lumia 800 has been reset seven times total since last October. It's just more stable and more social.

Vnvman, what apps do you have such issues with? The only app that's caused me to have to reset is board express which is a poorly done app. At least it's not the built in apps though like with android.

Again, maybe I push my phone more. However, my measly 1.4 GHz processor runs circles around the gs2 I had long enough to ditch it. That would be the same GS2 that is said to be the first android phone that utilized a partially GPU accelerated UI.
[Off-topic] vnvman:
The last app I had issues with was Carbon, just a week ago. It kinda surprised me because it always worked pretty good. I had to reinstall it in order to make it work again. Oh, and yesterday my gf had some issues on her 710, she had some stupid game like Shoot Bubble unable to launch, reinstalling it did the trick.

Honestly these things don't really bother me (it doesn't happen often), what actually made me wanna throw my phone off the window the other day was 3g connectivity, which wasn't working no matter what. After 24 hours it started working again, apparently without a reason. Funny thing is that my gf was having this issue at the same time, but none of my friends with the same carrier had it. Really weird.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Hmm, perhaps it pertained to your account with the phone company? A glitch in the system of sorts. I don't use carbon, not certain what it is, and stick mostly on the beaten path for games. Perhaps that's why I don't have that issue. The stock stuff covers most of what I need in a phone.
[Off-topic] vnvman:
Carbon is a Twitter client, it's pretty good, you should try it if you haven't already. It's well designed and melts beautifully in the OS. I'm not a great fan of the integrated client we have, it's definitely usable but a little limited, and the official twitter app hurts my eye (and my battery) with all that stupid white...

[Off-topic] thebobp:
Interesting perspective, but perhaps we mean something different by "power user" (maybe it is babied down a bit). I think what "power user" most often means here is: "user who customizes as much as possible". Android clearly beats the other horses in this respect - one can even use a metro UI with a messagease keyboard (and that's without installing your own kernel or rom).
[Off-topic] TheDaddy187:
yes android supports so much customization u dont have 2 be the same as every1 else... iphonys, crapberrys and wtf7 devices are all the same... distinguished by which apps that particular person has... android u can make your own... the widgets that come with some apps are good too... very handy... live wallpapers... launchers that imitate bb ios and wp7 are available it thats ur cuppa... not mine personally... i like to be unique so i use

a paid launcher that u can pretty much re design... add this to multi live wallpaper makes for some interesting screen transitions...
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
ICS is still much slower than wp7 and much less stable. I've tried out both stock and all the time I could find with decent reviews on a gs2 and I couldn't tolerate how unresponsive and unintuitive it was.

OP, your original post was fair enough, your more recent posts are well into fanboyism.

You gain customization, but lose speed, stability, and the whole intuitive OS thing.

Launcher 7 is reasonably intuitive, and as for "unresponsive", that's just a "na na na na na *fingers in ears*" attempt at confirmation bias.

I had the HD2 until WinMo came out, it wasn't and isn't anything to fall for. Again, I guess when you have WinMo only to compare to, Android is somewhat stable. I still found WinMo better. WP7 is just more stable. I still have an HD2 in a junk drawer, I havent wanted to tweak or flash roms since I tried WP7, it just works.
[Off-topic] TheDaddy187:
the hd2 came with winmo... it didnt "come out" at any time during the hd2s reign of fire... winmo was the original mobile os... its what everything like it came from... winmo was pretty stable... had its issues but they were forgivable... android is stable... i have no issues with it at all

I meant winpho, that's why you shouldn't text and drive. Perhaps I just push my phone harder, but the lag was apparent from day 1.
[Off-topic] vnvman:
That's because in Android there isn't a dedicated thread for UI rendering, while iOS and WP7 have a dedicated UI thread at real-time priority. Obviously there are some very smooth Android devices out there, but the fps count can't be as consistent as on iOS or WP7, basically because they work in a different way, and that's a fact. There are pros and cons related to this, but personally I don't really care. This kind of smoothness that WP7 has isn't actually the reason that makes me prefer it over Android right here and right now. Sure it looks pretty as a feature, but I'd ditch it anyday for some faster and steadier rendering on those web pages full of pictures and stuff. I guess the next gen devices will fix that tho. However, to put a final word (if possible) to this endless lag trash talk, I came to realize that most people generally don't notice this kind of "lag", so the problem shouldn't be overlooked, especially now that "low end" phones are starting to sport dual cores. Probably the ability to tinker given by Android shouldn't be overlooked as well, at the end of the day it's a phone, and it can get as functional as a phone can get. What I mean is I don't see a lot of iPhone users committing suicide because they have to tap an icon to get the info that a widget could be able to display right after unlocking the screen on an Android device. It's not a matter of life and death seeing the weather forecast in less than a second, sure time isn't cheap but it isn't that precious by any mean. Here's why I think the "Smoked by WP7" thing is possibly one of the most stupid ways of promoting a platform, and makes the user base look like some bunch of nerd raging tards bragging about things that nobody cares about.

It can be done with either iPhone or android. With the locked down phones I've seen, you must pay extra to your carrier to enable tethering. If your carrier determines you are tethering they may automatically add the charge to your bill. I don't know the technical aspects, so I can't speak to how well the different carriers detect or enforce this. Regardless, just keep in mind that even if they can't tell, you may be in violation of the Terms of Service. I'm not preaching, just trying to inform.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raidan988:
I tried searching, I may be using the wrong terms but I haven't found anything.

The first question is if there's an app/way for the phone to recognize what the device connected to via usb storage (for example it recognizing if it was connected to a specific PC or car stereo).

The second question is if there's a way to split (Partition?) the sd card so only a certain space is mounted. I basically want to keep the functionality of certain apps (xfered to the sd card for internal space issues) when the sd card is mounted. Not sure it's possible but I would like to know for sure.

These are complete noobs questions and so far google/searching hasn't given me a definite yes/no.

Thanks in advance

Don't press the power button for too long. It takes around 9.5 secs for CWM to start, and pressing the power button for 10 seconds shuts down the phone. Stop pressing the power button the instant you see the LG logo.

1. To go into CWM you need to press vol Down not up + 3D + Power. When you see the LG logo let go off the power but keep vol down + 3D for few more secs.
