That escalated quickly.

On topic: The only phone that has me slightly interested is the Lumia 920. That thing is a beauty, if only they would bring a similar model to android. oh well, I don't really like Metro's UI. I guess I could get used to it but its too much for me :P

There are a couple of wp launchers in the market. I've played with them but not really big on it. After a day I'm back to stock or apex.

Are the ones on play close to the real windows phone is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiwengang:
I upgraded to Windows 8 on laptop and played with windows phones in store a bit. I like the stuff I have seen so far. It is promising.

I think Windows + Google may be the future dominant player. Apple will go downhill from here given the lack of innovation and extreme complacency.

Wrote a quick note on my blog facadesocial.com I am long term users here so I am not posting ads of this kind. Just don't want to repeat what i have been written in a less coherent format.

Plus I do plan to expand Facade into Windows 8 platform from development point of view.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiquidXed:
I had a htc touch pro 2.. it was my first smart phone and i love it.. custom rom of coarse "energy roms" loved them.. but then i tried the android port for the rhodiums and fell hard for android.. android for me is what i look for in a phone but then again i havent tried any of the new m$ os, so i cant really say.. i have noticed with windows u really dnt get updates unless u got custom, but also with android only select phones get updates. Thats y if i stay with android, ill never buy any other phone but a nexus.. the support on other android phones is terrible. I think the maufactors should only release one model each so we can get the updates and support we need and deserve..

Ex: i had a samsung captivate glide and they released an ics update from gingerbread which was totally unstable so they pulled it, leavin the people that installed it either to deal with an unstable phone or flash some mods to fix them which voids ur warranty. And that was months ago and still no new update to fix the issue. U think they would care.. Thats bulls*** and is y i got a nexus and will never buy anything but..

Sorry for the hijack.. i was just venting.. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
Windows will continue to dominate worldwide. People will once again adopt the latest windows OS. I don't see why you think they wouldn't just because the physical state of the PC/Laptop is changing. Adding a keyboard adds to the functionality of a tablet, it doesn't defeat it lol.

I'm not at all saying they'll dominate the mobile phone market. But that's just 1 segment of "mobile".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
The windows phone 8 OS looks very promising. I really like the metro UI quite a bit. I still think the apps are not fully taking advantage of the live tiles concept yet.

I can see so much potential there with the UI.

The hardware so far looks fabulous. The Nokia and HTC handsets are very nice. I especially like the HTC 8x and lumia 920.

For the moment I'm happy with android as I have been for many years now. In terms of customisation and freedom, android is second to none.

Also there are a lot great apps for pretty much anything with android. Windows phone 8 as to be expected at this point in time has a lot of catching up to do in the apps department.

Also from ICS onwards, stock android UI is simply beautiful. And with 4.1 the lag issue and general responsiveness has been eradicated.

I don't think I can see myself moving from the android eco system anytime soon. But windows phone would be the most likely alternative if I ever did decide to move along. It looks to be a very nice platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Windows can't continue to dominate a market it wasn't even in until a few weeks ago. Continuing to dominate assumes you were on top in the first place. They aren't even a blip on the radar yet for tablets, and an afterthought in mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woody296:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
Windows (not windows 8) is still the #1 operating system worldwide. Even XP is used more than any other operating system from a different company. Over 70% of the world still uses a windows PC or laptop.

I was saying its only a matter of time before laptops are phased out and everything turns into a tablet/hybrid of some sort(I can't see the future, but why wouldn't it?). The tablet market will grow and it'll be because of Windows 8 and the declining PC (Desktops and Laptops) industry. Big business will not conform to Android or iOS to do their work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think someone forgot to tell you this thread is about WP 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qazibasit:
well tablets with keyboards are not tablets but simply laptops or ultra books. I think e need to understand the fact that we can't take out keyboard from our lives. so what windows is trying is to bring the ultra books back in fashion and their tablets as secondary devices.

windows phone 8 will be back in fashion but it will take time first people will upgrade their PC versions then only they will think about getting a win phone. until then android will rock the market.

secondly I will agree with one user above that before ICS android was nothing. so now Google need to work on an x86 based android for PC and other hardware. then only that could dominate the real tech market.

finally that's true that dev will move to windows 8 because its app store is empty right now. so utilizing the currently existent app ideas in android and IOS app stores with a slight different interface can bring then some good money. so now devs will work on win 8 until it also reaches 700,000 apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
Yet the title of the thread says Windows 8. And a few other posters commented on the state of Windows 8 and its entire ecosystem(including WP8). So I went along with the conversation. :good:

An ultra-book is nothing more than a name used by Intel to market their products. I do agree that a tablet with a keyboard is essentially a notebook/laptop. But once you take that keyboard away and took that slate into your bag, what is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Remember when Windows used to be the best OS? They're not anymore. Why would you purchase their phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
If android was a full fledged os platform for PC I would ditch windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
My friend, that is very possible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
your forgetting its not a normal keyboard. Its no different in size amd weight than the ipads smart cover. Actually its thinner. A keyboard attachment would yea he cumbersome. But the keyboards microsoft has in mind are simply covers with added in keyboard functionality. The surface is the future. Its tablet, but the keyboard cover. Thats microsfts vision. Surface will he slow to catch but i believe it will take away the ultrabook market and little tablet. I think people were just envisioning the old style keyboard attachments lol. The 3mm cover style igenius and not something extra to carry around.

??? If you mean mobile then correct. But for laptop and desktops. No other OS comes close.

Keyboards will come out that you can fold up easily too. I had one for an old ass nextel phone. Was badass back in the day. Had a piece that connected to our phone and it sat docked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Apache Thunder:
I would never in a million years use a windows 8 or windows anything phone. Right now it just looks like the bastard child of the iPhone. Locked down ecosystem with little modding ability only this time the UI looks like sh*** and the baggage of Microsoft's screwing you over reputation.

Plus Blue Screens of Death would not be a good feature for a phone.

Now maybe I might be interested if they made a x86 intel based phone that had a version of Windows 8 on it that can run most legacy Windows apps and games along with that Metro crap. Then perhaps it could then find use as my PC + Phone abilities. :P

They could make a little dock for said phone and then I could use a few USB devices and a Monitor, keyboard and mouse. And bam, my phone is now my desktop computer. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
Windows Phones are nice to use. The OS is so much smoother than Android will probably ever be and it looks modern and dark. That said I prefer Android because of the freedom it has.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbauer86:
I'm to much into Google-thing

If Google would bring up the new OS for PC i would instantly switch, just because of the harmony with my phone (sync, same ui...)

So hopefully i'll get rid of that metropieceof**** win8 on my PC soon.

Windows phones are looking preety but its not giving so much freedom like Android . People buying windows phones then hate the phones . Thanx to google that he made amazing android phones for everyone .. :D:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shad0wguy:
ChromeOS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The best OS. It's kinda subjective. Well if you are some sort of software developer then I guess you're right. I've my old laptop with windows which I only use for operations like flashing phones via Odin or running RUU-files. Otherwise I use my macbook, I bought in september 2011. I don't even consider upgrading. I think Mac OS is much more user friendly for an average user and perhaps even more stable than Windows. The only pain in the ass are still less and more expensive programs. But except lack of programs like Odin I must admit Mac OS cooperates with my all androids very well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dancingtortoise:
I bought a cheap lumia 710 last year to try out windows phone. I have to say that I enjoyed it. The os is so smooth and beautiful. The lack of apps was def a downer, how is instagram still not on windows phone? Also the fact I couldn't d.l email attachments. I don't know if that's changed. But being a rooted android user it was kind of nice not constantly looking for a new rom or new tweaks to flash. The neat thing about it tho is you can buy a cheap ass windows phone and the os is still going to run smoothly. I still prefer my galaxy nexus but if I had to choose between a cheaply made android phone or a cheaply made windows phone I'd choose the windows phone BC the experience will be better.

Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadephyre:
Is Instagram now a killer-argument for not buying a phone ? :P

But to stay on topic: I tried WP7/8 a few times, and it is really smooth, but for me the Interface was a bit jumbled at times. I don't really like it when my icons are just floating in "mid-air" basically. There's just too much "empty" going on in the interface.

Not that I want my interface all cluttered up like some OEM's think it needs to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dancingtortoise:
Its not BC I did buy it. But it goes to show that such popular apps are just present on windows phone.

I have wifi tether for root users and it has stopped working for some reason. I soft bricked my phone about a month ago and had to reinstall everything. I used supersu this time and also have voodoo ota root keeper. I have the most current Verizon update and don't know if this has anything to do with it.

When I use the app it starts without any issues. I get the symbol in my notification bar but it does not show the green one that let's me know I have a wifi hotspot active. It also says that it has been given root access. I am using the galaxy s3 profile and have tried the nexus one as well. All of the other settings are at their default value. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give to help resolve my problem!

[Nokia Lumia 920] karlmueller:
I ordered my Lumia 920 on Friday and it should arrive sometime this week but what I'm currently desperately looking for is a suitable case with a belt clip.

I already went through eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de (Germany) and I also tried to find one through Google but all the cases I found either are

-vertical

-have no belt clip

or

-have no cut-out for the headphone plug

I already had vertical belt cases for my current phone (HTC HD2/Leo) before and they always got in the way when I sat down so those sort of cases are not really for me. And as I want to use the Lumia a lot for listening to music a case which won't let me connect the headphones while the phone is in it won't do it either.

So if anyone knows a case that would suit my needs/wishes I would appreciate that a lot :)

thx

[Nokia Lumia 920] gvr41520:
EASECASE is the best for customization

I have had great experience with the EASECASE store on ebay (sry for broken links, still under 10 posts.....):

stores.ebay.com/EASECASE/Lumia-920-/_i.html?_fsub=5875330018&_sid=149381558&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

I customized an AT&T Tilt 2 case 2 years ago and used it up until last Friday when the 920 came out. No issues like leather fraying off the belt clip, expanding over time due to use or stitching coming undone. I think you can get them to either put a hole for the headphone jack in the side you think you will have the top of the phone against when you carry it horizontally, or lower that same side so that the wall of the case is only half the height of the side the bottom of the phone will be against. I saw some old pictures once where someone wanted to charge the phone while inside the case and they cut one wall in half and finished the edges to match the rest of the case stitching.

Here is the customization page of the case I have for my Tilt 2 but for the Lumia 920: stores.ebay.com/easecase/pages/D1

I used BU Cowhide Black for the case exterior, Black microfiber interior, 2 hidden magnets for the closure and Belt Clip style 02. Pretty awesome to hold and the clip is wide enough so the strain of attaching it to your pocket, belt, bag strap etc.....didn't force the metal to start poking through the leather because it was divided along a longer surface than Belt Clip 01.

I also got them to monogram it using my Quake 3 tag even though it was longer than the maximum character length they specify. Nothing but good to say about them. Downside? They hand make to order and ship from China, so you will wait like 3-6 weeks. Upside? Best case of its kind for the money.

If you want a picture of my old case just ask.
[Nokia Lumia 920] karlmueller:
Thanks for the suggestion :)

Unfortunately they are quite expensive (50 $ is A LOT of cash for a phone case IMO)
[Nokia Lumia 920] gvr41520:
Glad to help. I also firmly believe that you get what you pay for and that buying once is better than buying multiple times because the case wears out. Also, most of the leather cases out there are quite flimsy compared to this one and very few are enclosed at the corners. This means that when you drop your phone, it may be protected from the impact but the corners will still get damaged. That was one of the deciding factors for me personally besides the belt clip style. Good luck with your search and let us know what you pick.
