[Windows Phone 7 General] McHale:
what fantasy world are you living in? ALL of my Android devices stopped getting ANY updates in less than 1 year of purchasing. In fact, my HTC Jetstream (which I paid full price for) never got a single OS update of any kind. My Nexus One stopped being supported in less than a year as well. The vast majority of Android devices are sold with at least a previous OS or 2 versions old OS and many of them never got updated to anything current.
[Windows Phone 7 General] noelito:
probably sticking with titan

today's new nokia wp8 lineup was slick but I didn't like the initial ketchup and mustard colors, im well aware there's more colors too

I'm still going to wait for htc's lineup and see what they have to offer and honestly i like the Samsung ativ much more than either nokia phone, the removable battery 4.8" screen and i really like the silver grey chromatic design,

unless htc has something better im going Sammy and im going to wait until next year for the prices to go down and hopefully some hacking, im 99% sure im staying with my titan and hoping we get some cooked wp8 roms coming
[Windows Phone 7 General] amir-m89:
You'r right but I think every problem is soluble in your Android devices. for example if you want have Arabic support on your gingerbread HTC phone you can s-off ,root and then install a new recovery on it then use a custom ROM with Arabic support (if you could not get ICS updates),also the cheapest android phones have VPN support and so on. I mean MS must add major functions to WP7 then switch to WP8. Thanks for your consideration.
[Windows Phone 7 General] McHale:
The language support thing I see as a problem for some. However, your solution for the Android devices to root it and burn on a new ROM on it, something that non-XDA people can or will do. However, the same solution is available for Windows Phone as well. It's a tad trickier but still do-able for the nerds here on XDA.

I also believe Windows Phone 8 as opposed to 7.x will have much better language support based on their WP8 announcement a few months back. The carriers determine which languages to include based on their customer based.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ChrisKringel:
At the moment I don't think that I need a new Windows Phone. Of course, there are some interesting functions shown in the last few days. But frankly, there is nothing that generated a "Must-Have" feeling. NFC, wireless charging and the new cameras are very nice features but I can live without them. Then again, we don't know the full feature set of windows phone 8. But at the moment I don't see a justified reason to buy a device for 600€ when my Lumia 800 is still working great. I guess I will buy a new Nokia device next year and skip this iteration. (And I hope that Nokia will be still around next year).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vinscg:

Too bad we don't get more with 7.8 :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I've been pretty happy with my HD7 since I got it in September 2010. The volume buttons have almost stopped functioning now though, and the display and camera both look pretty weak compared to my wife's Lumia 800. Battery life sucks too. So I think it's a good time to get a gen 3 WP8 handset.

I wasn't too impressed with the new Samsung (very Android-looking to me), but both of the new Nokias have me impressed. If the camera tech in the 920 really lives up to the promise then that would be a good enough reason for me to upgrade, plus I'd be getting better screen tech and build quality. Wireless charging sounds brilliant to me too since my HD7 always has to be plugged in to charge each evening on my bedside locker - pretty nifty to charge it by just placing it on the charging mat. HTC seem to have lost their knack for innovation recently so I'm not hoping for too much with their 3rd gen handsets - I suspect Nokia have the leading WP handsets at this time. But we'll see.

It's a more difficult choice for people with a 2nd gen WP7 handset since the upgrade isn't as significant as for those of us with 1st gen handsets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
My wife's Gingerbread Galaxy Tab 10.1 died and is going back for warranty repair. She is getting a new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with ICS becasue she can't "live" without it. When the old one comes back I get it to replace my old Viewsonic Gtab that I put ICS on. I'm looking forward to the improved viewing angle of the Galaxy tab.

Can someone refer me to the best XDA links I can go-to to root the Galaxy Tab and upgrade it to ICS?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
First of all, you have to root it. There are many guides in development, but I like this:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15693193

Then in order to have cm9 (which in my opinion is better than aokp) flash this recovery with odin:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14020765

Then download cm9 and flash it with recovery (the various galaxy tablet builds are recognized by "p4"):

get.cm/?device=&type=nightly

Finally, if you want aokp, install rom manager from play and download latest cwm recovery. Then go here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459287

Remember when moving between cm9, aokp and honeycomb builds, always wipe data prior to flashing the new rom. That isn't necessary for updating the same build, like moving from one cm nightly to another.

Oh, last but definitely not least. All ics firmwares for our galaxy tab lack functioning camera, in case you don't know. The issue will be resolved when Samsung releases official ics for the tab.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
Last thing first (so I don't get confused - I'm old). The Tab camera is not a high interest item for me BUT the Galaxy Tab 2 my wife is buying/bought is supposed to have 4.0 ICS on it. Wouldn't that be an official ICS?

Is there an alternative to Odin? For my Galaxy SII I used Calkuli's ICS ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527041 and did it straight from CWM. It's awesome.

I can do Odin but I've been a Linux user for years and try to avoid Windows. I disagree with their business practices of over inflated prices (ok I had to pay a lot for my Android devices but spending money on hardware is not quite the same). I feel similar about Apple but at least their hardware works better but still, they keep breaking the jailbreaks and keeping their software propitiatory.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruipalmeira:
didn't the GTab 10.1 came originally with Honeycomb ?

GTab 10.1 is not the same as the GTab 10.2 v2, hence the lack of support in ICS roms for the GTAB 10.1 camera... similar names different hardware, different drivers, different everything, just the same manufacturer/OS.

PS: I don't think it is really possible to update/flash new roms within linux (haven't tried it myself), just grab a copy of windows XP sp3 (wherever you can get it, free might be better), install it and update, keep that for updates or just scrap it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Go to the rooting thread and download the recovery for 4G version. Then download the pershoot recovery for your device. Unzip the 4G version recovery, replace the cwm img with your own, zip it up and flash it through stock recovery. It worked flawlessly for my p7500.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
Thanks for the advice. I ended up using ODIN and following these instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459287

It's pretty sweet.

The next thing I'm going to hopefully solve is getting the camera choice of the unlock screen. It's not on my Galaxy S II ICS install and on the Galaxy Tab if swiped by accident (on an purpose) it reboots the tab. Annoying. If I can't figure it out I guess I'll start a thread.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
I had that reboot problem with aokp. Then I switched to cm and when you swipe to the left, you just get a message that camera doesn't work. And it's better and more stable imo. But anyway, I'm glad I helped to solve your problem.

Sorry for my denseness but what does "switched to cm" mean?

I meant that I flashed cm9 and ditched aokp. Sorry for the confusion!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
Can CM9 be flashed without a full wipe? I'm sorry I missed that point in your earlier post but now I understand a little more. I'd rather not do a factory reset since I just spent a boat-load of time downloading all my apps and carp and would like to avoid having to do it again.

The only thing with aokp I don't like is this camera on the lock screen and that you have to swipe to the right. Calkulins ICS on the Galaxy SII lockscreen lets me just unlock it no matter how or in what direction I swipe. Maybe that's just a phone feature that I was hoping was an ICS-regardless-of-device feature.

I guess my not being a tablet "photographer" I don't appreciate the spontaneity that one must expect to have. I actually pick up a real camera and sometimes even put the lens on it, take the lens cap off and turn it on before I take a photo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
I'm afraid that a wipe is always needed the first time you flash a firmware. You can try to flash without wipe and see how it goes. In order to flash cm9 you must have pershoot's recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090289.

Before you flash anything make a backup in recovery, so should something go wrong, you will return to the state you are now.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryp7:
I just thought of a question that is still on-topic.

Does CM9 USB support work. I'm doing what I need by either downloading or using dropbox. It would be nice to just plug it in. If it does then I'm installing it no matter how much of a PITA it will be to reset everything the way I like it.
[Milestone XT720 General] JohnathanDevereaux:
I have the Milestone XT720 rooted with Android 2.2.1 and running CM 6.3.0-RC3 for nearly a year. Overall things work well, occasionally will have the phone app hang and have to reboot, but not that big an issue.

I found one thread that sort-of related to my problem, but there was no answer included (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060466).

The 'all apps' icon in the center of the ADW (at the bottom of the screen) vanished, heck, I may have done something to cause it for all I know. For the life of me, I can't find how to get back to the 'all apps' section. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. How can I get the icon back for it? When I click the greyed star, it says "No application defined yet, drop something here."
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I would think if it's something you accidentally did you could delete the cache & data from manage app, of course you will have to reset all of your customization if you do that.
