[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
So look like a lot of people have the same line thinking like me, Windows Phone 8 is great but i would rather wait for it to perform and then reviewed by other expert before i make a move also.

There are a lot of thing that i want to buy so i have no choice except being smart, lol.

I mean, custom ROM is not a total big deal to me after all, back in the day when i still have my HD7, i still choose the way to use Official ROM instead of getting custom one. But i just don't like the way they lock the device with the OS so strict that Advanced Users can't tweaks the device in the way they want. I mean Registry Editor, Flies Explorer and all the kind of stuffs. Windows Mobile 6.5 was saved (almost all by this XDA Community) because of that.

MS this year drive away to regular based users market rather than advanced users... (Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8)...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
That's because (as iOS and Android has proven extremely well) theres more money to be made when targeting nupties, power users are a limited few in a sea of average users who couldn't tell the difference between the different OSs in the first place.

I have a horrible feeling that WP8 is going to be even harder to crack open so im not going to hold my breath, bare in mind that technically WP7 hasn't been cracked open either, im sure WP8 will make it even harder still
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Definitely going to jump to Windows Phone 8 as soon as I can, but probably gonna keep my Titan and Lumia 800.

Well, first of all the accent is more intergrated! (It annoys me big time) Ceramic? Which phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
But isn't those accent colours just based on leaks so far? (Early July leak?)

If they are to be present in WP7.8 there is a huge chance they will be implemented identically as WP8, no?

Lumia 920 has polycarbonate unibody with ceramic buttons or so did I read!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Well, the design of Lumia is not bad at all, but i don't really like how they just make it a little bit bigger and reuse the design pretty much.

I just saw another Lumia 8xx something for T-Mobile US and that thing look a little bit more interesting than Lumia 920.

And BTW i am not looking forward to pay like $800 for an unlocked version of that anyway.

They also predict the 8X to be around $500-$600 for unlocked version
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
I think they made it bigger basically because of the camera features they wanted to implement, it shouldn't be hard to make it thinner without it, at least 820 thin. Honestly I take like no more than 3 pictures every year with my phone so I couldn't care less...maybe a sharper profile, somewhat like the new nano (but bigger, heh) would have been better for me. If Microsoft ever releases something more squarish and thin with a full metal body, like a crossover between an iPhone and a Surface I'm 100% sold.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Yeah, I've been fancying my chances of owning a squarish device. Not exactly like an Experia but something as classy as surface design. I would love to own vaporised magnesium squarish handset running WP9! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Now that is a big LOL.

Wait 2 years or more, my friend :silly:
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Come on! If they think Surface Phone is in the pipeline ready for 2nd wave of Gen2, can't they give that fantasy phone of mine next Christmas? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
But... WP9? you sure? :silly:

HTC just rolled out the J Butterfly... man that thing is hot, hope the lads on Android Dept will allow us use it for WP :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Surface phone is due sometime early next year. Elop even commented on it, saying its good for the ecosystem but MS will be seen as a competitor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Nokia said there is no way MS making their own phone, but there are more and more rumor about it so it makes me extremely doubt about it.

Maybe that could be Nokia's way to marketing their stuffs. Because if people hear about Surface Phone gonna be awesome, that gonna hurt their sale because some people like us gonna be happy still with 7.8 for awhile.

But... who knows? i think i am gonna snatch the Surface RT sometime soon, the Pro version is a little too thick for me i guess. I will wait awhile for the apps to build up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Vintage144:
I havent decided fully , my contract is up already , but I have a focus 1st gen with 7.8 nokia rom , its fine, theres some annoying things but its livable , I will probably get the new Samsung win8 ,if not I will definitely go Android and Samsung or HTC ,possibly Sony , I love android , theres so much you can do ! To the guy going to Iphone jailbreaking it , but you dont like root /roms etc from android , doesnt make any sense , why get it jailbroken , if you dont like root in android (wich is the same thing in iphone except jailbreaking is harder?Is someone else gonna jailbreak for you ? Are they gonna unlock it for you too? hell you can a get Windows phone that someone else will do the dirty work for you!

Might as well just go stock iphone nothing wrong with that if you dont want root or anything like that !
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Dang I've been playing around a little with a jailbroken 4s today and I gotta admit it's a pretty cool thing. Also, after some hands on time with both the i5 and a Lumia 900 I gotta admit the former one has far better usabilty in terms of form factor and weight. Right now I'm hella fine with the 800 and its size/weight, but I guess it would be really tough to get used to a 920.

Well, I'm confused. If Microsoft brings to the table a sleek, more pocketable, godly built Surface Phone I'd be glad to stick with this OS, otherwise I think I'll jump ship when my upgrade is due. Yep, I'm pretty sure about it now. Sad thing is I'd be doing this mostly for the hardware, not the software...oh well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
You don't think there will be a WP9 next October? :eek:

I don't think we will have innovative hardware before that. We've kinda maxxed out on technology software wise. There isn't anything "new" on the table this year by any OS. They've tweaked and made it better. But if the trend keeps going, we won't have exciting software for another year and in that case, all they can attract us by is mind blowing hardware (android style?). Like vnvman said, he is leading away from WP only because hardware isn't attractive. Software wise we will have all - WP, iOS, Android (and probably BB) on the same ground come Q1 2013.

So here is to super gorgeous Surface phone that can rob me off whatever I'll have left on the other side of Christmas or early summer! ;)

If not, WP9 it is!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I am gonna steal this article really quick:

This give me another reason to wait then...

Nah... :silly:

Maybe another "Jumpo" for Windows Phone like what Mango used to be? lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Hahah I hope they do have Jumpo Surface phone but knowing MSFT WP9 will be epic! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sianto1997:
That's a WP 8 design with a WP7.5 emulator build running on it!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Emulator? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sianto1997:
Yes, If you zoom in on the picture with the screen turned on you see:

<- (back to home (which only is in wp7(emulator) and not in wp8))

P (search)

Internet Explorer

PanoramaApp1 (standard name for wp7 panorama developed apps)

Settings

(Thats how I saw it)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
So... Obviously, no Windows Phone 7.8 news, heard several rumors of 7.8 being delayed for 8 launch, no Surface Phone info. some high-end user features that i don't find really too much interesting except the live apps and new lockscreen.

So... any body here change your mind?

I know i do because i just dropped my damn TITAN II on the road and had a scuff on it, damn shame.

The TITAN 1 of mine just gone on Ebay for a decent price, i think it is time for this baby to go after i get a WP8 ...

8X non-LTE World Version seem to be perfect to me. Lumia 920 is a little bit fat to my taste...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
My Focus S does exactly the same job today as it did yesterday and the very first day I bought it so no change here, WP8 does bring some cool features but I don't NEED any of them, its a phone and it works, until it stops working or cant do what I NEED it to do, im hapy to stick with my current phone

in saying all of that, one thing that is beginning to piss me off, is that MS seems to have completely washed its hands of WP7, now I get why they don't update the device to all the bells and whistles of WP8 but things like Win 8 App integration (zune replacement), or sorting out the mess that is zune, sorting out the mess around backups, the My Phone replacement that never came to be, that kinda thing is beginning to annoy me
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
They released like a hub for WIndows Phone that only work for WP8. so look like we are still stuck with Zune. :silly:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Well, it really is annoying but we gotta be patient. From an enterprise point of view this is ordinary business: they needed their new product to be in the spotlight, they can't mention 7.8 at this kind of events, because the press would give mixed info if they did: titles would sound like "Microsoft announces WP8...but not for everybody", that just wouldn't sound right and fancy. Trust me, in a few days, when WP8 has gathered the needed attention from the press they'll say something about it, but honestly I don't think we're getting anything until a month has passed or so after the release of the new budget 7.8 phones (they have to sell those too). I guess Nokia will be the first delivering the update, but I wouldn't expect to get anything before January or even later, talking about the official rollout. Just my 2 cents.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Just wondering, how much did you get off ebay for your Titan? I'm presuming it was used at least 6-8 months?
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I'm on Verizon (US) and I just want a Lumia 920 but, it does not look like it will come, so I will wait. Even the HTX 8X is disapointing with only 16gb of memory. If anything I might buy a used, off contract 8X to hold me off till the real phone hits my carrier. So far nothing that has been sort of annouced impresses me so far.

Maybe we'll get a SOLID rumor about a Surface phone and I will also wait for it...

As for Surface Devices, I have to wait till a Pro device is released. I want to be able to have my Surface setup on it's stand, using a Xbox 360 controller to play Black Ops 2(PC version) or GTA 5 (they SHOULD both be out by the time Pro devices are released). Now that would be awsome...Nah, screw that, it would be epic..

RT devices can NOT run standard Windows Applications or games, so for me, that is almost worthless, sure I can buy all new apps but, it's not Windows any more, I might as well buy a Android or iOS tablet....(just meaning a new OS, all new apps)

I'm jumping ship back to android, I'm liking the nexus 4.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Wall Street Journal has reported MSFT is DEFO working on a Surface phone. That is pretty much a solid rumour, no?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
i got it off for nearly $200 with a few extras

Not a bad sale after all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trappxl:
I walked into a AT&T store by my job last night and played with both the Lumia 820 and 920. For my needs and budget, the 820 is the fit. I'm on T-Mobile so I'm looking forward to trying the 810. The 920 isn't as heavy as people make it out to be. In fact, the weight is very evenly distributed so that it feels more SOLID in hand than anything else. The edges feel a bit more tapered than the 900, which means the corners aren't as sharp by feel, but still has that distinct design. The 920's screen is gorgeous. I like G Nex screen better, but that's because I like AMOLED screens. Still, that 920's screen is very bright and responsive. City Lens is a cool gimmick but has great potential. Audio quality music wise is nice on both...the EQ sound better than what's on my Focus S. I'm looking forward to trying the 8X, but they didn't have it in the store (WTF). I still pan to keep my Focus S, but I may just grab a Lumia 810 because the memory card slot and removable battery work for me.

Sorry for the double post...i got boarded my board express app...i don't think we will see a surface phone anytime soon unless these first WP8 flop...i don't think they will as this is a better looking launch software wise than WP7. WP8 looks the same but runs much better under the hood.

Whats up everyone i have repeatedly tried to update my yp-g1 (intl) to gingerbread from froyo but once it gets to the final step which is when the player is in download mode, it stops randomly and wont continue. First it stopped at 70% then it stopped at 3%. so im wondering if there is a way to fix this, or a way to download and install through odin.

Any help is muchly appreciated.

Dont worry,

I had a similar situation

all you have to do is wipe the cache and davlik and use a direct usb port (not the ones in the front as they are 1.0 usb) and it should work like a charm. If that doesnt work you can always use Heimdall just google how to use it. If nothing else works try using kies software to update it to gb.

Hope all goes well!:):laugh:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoogedemon:
Dear all,

I really like my S3, but the stock email-app has some limitations, that I don't like.

There isn't a possibility to sync for instance all mails from the last 2 month, or another fixed timeframe.

It is only possible to choose a quantity rather than a period of time.

The most useful option at the moment is 200, because "all" is a way to much.

Is there a Mod or something available, to increase this value to 1000 or something, or, what would be better, to set a time?

If not, do you suggest a 3rd party application?

Many thanks in advance for your answer.

All the best to you all,

I was browsing the Windows 8 app store and came across an app that will be able to access numerous cloud storage accounts from the one app. So far they have skydrive and Dropbox, and when I contacted them they said that they would also have Box access soon. You will also be able to access multiple accounts of the same type ie Ie have 3 skydrive accounts.

So my question really is, is there an app in android that can so this?
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Maybe you should try this ----> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en

They have a lite version too, if you want to try it first.

The description says they support multiple skydrive/box/dropbox etc acoounts.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
EStrong (ES) File Explorer will do that. It's integrated with their file manager which is free on the Play Store.

Just swipe to the panel left of the main screen and you can setup dropbox, box, skydrive, google drive and several other cloud storage accounts and access them as remote file servers.

[HTC EVO 3D] ragingredbull:
Sweet thanks. I actually have ES installed already. Will give it a look.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
Solid Explorer is another alternative. Looks good with the dark theme :D
[HTC EVO 3D] tomcat420m:
+1 for FolderSync. Can even setup to sync One-way either way, or both ways any combo, at any times, even upon change.

Also for a regular file explorer w/root HIGHLY recommend
