True. Forgot to mention it's the software side i was talking about : i find it easier to navigate all my music on the iphone. Htc tried to mimic this interface but it doesn't match the original

This is of course subjective, but at least it comes from a guy who has both devices in his pocket =)
[Touch HD General] David Balfour:
well all i have to say on the subject is this....
[Touch HD General] marcopolo007uk:
hehehe :) you missed the battery....
[Touch HD General] kokkie:
Well i've got both devices but i prefer the HD. I can call somebody with my HD. The reception of my iPhone sucks (with T-Mobile) in my region :mad:
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Easy to add video and mms to an iphone - I did. Not that I ever used either.

Video calls? Who cares? First did one about 7 years ago, and not since. Totally pointless - there's a reason nobody does them.

Expandable memory is nice, of course (although I wish HTC had included 8GB on board, with a slot).
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
I just tried to explain this. On most (smaller, lower res) screens, you NEED to zoom to be able to discern anything as small as a link, with both eyes And fingers. On such screens the zoomed-out state is nothing more than a means of orientation, so you can see what you want to zoom in on.

On the HD however, you can basically read everything and click everything without zooming, if you are using a stylus. And that brings us to your second point ....

Yep. However, this is just our opinion. I see a lot of clumsy people misclicking while trying to zoom or drag the screen... I can easily imagine that HTC would go the user friendly route and not the max efficiency route. All decisions are based on likely % of customer satisfaction. So most things get made for Average Joe.
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Yes, I know :-)

It's not really relevant what other devices are or aren't capable of though - it wasn't a criticism of Opera. This is HTC's product, they can change the install settings.

It shouldn't be left to users to find hidden config menus to make the product usable, and especially not on a product that costs more than most laptops these days.
[Touch HD General] oarthus:
wowwww

I'm impressed to be accused of so many things.

Why on earth would I lie about this, I don't get it.

Go on sites like Pocket CM, you will see I'm a major contributor on Pocket Contact Manager for instance... so of course I have never used WM...

I never said it was an honest comparison, adn never stated I have used a Touch HD, I was just asking for help from people who have used both!!

Not much help so far as most answers are more insults than input.

I got a bit more luck from an iPhone forum.

It is amazing that one should be either pro Iphone or pro WM.

Personnally idon't care, I just want whar suites my needs best.

Thanks to those who did not accuse me of being a liar, and gave some useful input to compare

So there i was composing an SMS on my iphone with its superior keyboard when all of a sudden another SMS came in... where did my SMS go i thought to myself! I started again and a call came in, bugger... ah must be in my drafts fol... OH!

As for MMS you need one program to download them and view the text and then you need a file manager type program to view the picture!

I enjoyed my iphone but after 2 months I went back to HTC despite the responsive screen and glorious movie playback.
[Touch HD General] pikey1967:
You guys really need to settle down......

I find this site awesome for information, however I find the members on the site are not very friendly at all.

If you post anything on here with that word "iPhone" you are asking to be abused and accused of all sorts of things as you can see here.

Then you get members asking to close threads that they are not even the author of, or really have limited or no input into the thread, or for some reason they don't like the thread or a comment that has been made etc.

What is all the abuse when someone asks about the pros and cons of iPhone vs Touch HD, most are asking questions as they are interested in finding the best solution to meet their requirements.....THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A FIGHT AS MOST OF YOU SEEM TO THINK.

If you do not like the look of the thread (by reading the title) then don't open it, if you do have constructive comments to make, then I am sure the author would love to hear it.

Personally I actually have an iPhone at the moment and was looking to purchase the Touch HD as soon as it is available in Australia as the iPhone does not meet all my requirements, I am sure there will be things I don't like about the HD as there has yet to be a phone released that meets every requirement I have, but I think the HD will fit better than the iPhone (for me that is)

All this member was asking for was the opinion of someone who had the HD, which to me sounds like he is in the same position as I am, looking for a little comparison before spending out on another new phone.

You all need to chill a little before posting your responses, one of the reasons I have been a member on this site for a year and only made 5 posts.
[Touch HD General] SiliconS:
Did you expect anything else?

If you threw a hand grenade into a room full of nerds they'd start an argument with it. ;)
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
Where did your text go? Nowhere, of course. It's still there in the text box at the bottom of that contact's SMS thread. How could you not find it when it's right there in front of you, the very next time you open the SMS app?

Why would you start it again, when you'd have to delete your first attempt just to clear the text box?

It's almost as if you never even used an iphone :confused:
[Touch HD General] Khalild:
The thing with opera can be changed if you go to Opera:Config you can set it to accept clicks from maximum zoom. I've had no problems with GPS or WIFI so can't really help there.
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
That's a bit harsh on the HD, isn't it? It's quite professional too in its own way - amateurly finished of course, and not really robust enough for day to day enterprise use, but it's good enough for most people who don't really need reliability or performance out of the box.

If you've got time for all the tweaking and don't mind putting up with a few hiccups along the way, you can probably get by fine with the HD for most tasks. You only really need an iPhone if you're the kind of professional who needs a polished, efficient device which "just works" - something that's not going to let you down at the worst moment, and with an interface which actually helps rather than hinders your productivity. If you can do without that most of the time, you're probably better off with an HD.

Many thanks
[Touch HD General] john923:
Hi, where is this setting?

I know how to get to opera:config but it doesn´t show me any setting for "accept clicks..." at all... in which part of the settings is it?

Thanks

John
[Touch HD General] oarthus:
Thanks I feel less lonely!

I have been a user for the Touch (not HD) and the iPhone, and I felt neither was perfect. Before changing back to the HD, I am just trying to get a deeper level of comparison, and gave my own input, and asked some questions for what I cannot know (as, yes, I do not have a Touch HD, otherwise I would not ask)

Yes it is strange that some feel attacked when we dare asking some detail level of comparison...

Anyway, the debate worked somehow, as I read some interesting info regarding Safari vs Opera. However I'm not sure which one is better for web browsing. Some say Safari is more fluid (and I would say it tends to be unstable quite often as well). Any more feedback on speed and easy of navigation. I do understand the larger screen of the HD is a clear plus.

Thanks

Olivier
[Touch HD General] arfster:
I'd say the HD wins here. Safari is definitely slicker and more intuitive (eg opera kinda irritating sometimes in how it delays things, leading to it accepting a click on the wrong link as it re-renders the page). At the end of the day though, a lot of websites out there are made for 800+ pixels wide screens. The HD in landscape mode can render the full width of the screen, and all those pixels really come into their own in rendering very small text as readable. On the iphone (or any similar res phone) such a wide website means scrolling/zooming all over the place.

For examples of quite how good the HD is, I'd say look at the NY Times website, or Flickr. The detail is superb.
[Touch HD General] oarthus:
ok that's very clear, thank you! This is probably why so many sites have developped an iPhone version. The NYT is a good example, although I am not sure it could be accessed through Opera, since there is an app for the iPhone to access it (maybe this is what does the reformatting, in a really nice format, perfect to read, just like Avantgo on WM!)

Olivier
[Touch HD General] arfster:
It's not so much the fact it's Opera - to my mind Safari is better. It's more the hardware, having 2.5x more pixels to render the webpage.

When you reformat a webpage, you create potential problems. Ultimately that's a compromise that only works sometimes, and while it may be necessary on lower resolution devices it's not ideal. With the HD there's no need to compromise - you just get the whole page displayed. What's more, you can display the widest of websites in landscape mode without needing to scroll sideways.
[Touch HD General] rahan95:
to me, it's the opposite : i prefer web browsing on the iphone.

Pages load much faster (all tests done with 3G by orange, download speed measured with speedtest is 2500 Kbit/s) and are way easier to scroll on. You can start zooming or scrolling even if the page is not fully loaded (my HD hates when i do that)

If you scroll down and then up, you don't have that feeling the browser has to reload the whole stuff like on Opera with the checkerboard-like screen.

And zooming in an out is easier too, unless i've missed something. For example, starting on this forum main page i want to go directly to the 4th page on this topic, with the hd i have to wait for the page to be fully loaded, then double-tap the screen for a first zoom, then click on the magnifier at the bottom left hand and move the slider so that the "4" is big enough for me to click on it. Or i could just put the stylus out but that's what we all want to avoid with touch screens
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
Does Safari actually reformat pages, generally? There are some sites which automatically present an Iphone-formatted version of themselves when they detect an Iphone at the receiving end, but I've not noticed Safari itself making a hash of anything - it's not like PIE or older versions of Opera that reformat everything to fit the screen. It'll generally show an entire page laid out quite happily, even readably in landscape, although admittedly the zoom function is there for a reason.

Are you saying the zoom isn't needed on the HD?
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Nah, that was Rahan mentioning a dedicated NYT app.

Generally I don't use it - just flip the screen into landscape on occasion, but that's more to handle the width of websites rather than the size of the text. Occasionally you need to zoom when there are a whole bundle of links closely packed together, but in terms of legibility it really is outstanding.

Of course, you need to be holding it fairly close to read sites, but that's fine with me. Depends on your eyesight also.

Probably worth trying out on in a shop, as what's suitable for me might not be for all.
[Touch HD General] 2unique:
Actually nope when a new SMS came in it wiped a half finished SMS every time.

I'm talking the old iphone 1.3

In Asia much conversation takes place via SMS and i found this particularly frustrating. I miss the movies, browser, responsive screen and the flashlight app, and of course i could also find fault with my Diamond but that's why i'm looking to "upgrade" to a HD to get the iphone screen i miss with the (for me) better functionality of WinMo.

And nope I had 5 pages of apps and used it extensively as my only phone for 2 months. I previously worked for one2one and Orange, have had mobile phones since 1990 and buy new phones regularly based on looks, toys and/or merit.

however, tilt on quixote
[Touch HD General] BigDede:
You forgot to mention the bluetooth stereo, how the hell a multimedia device misses the bluetooth stereo??
[Touch HD General] jetjockgordo:
Yes!

Here is an update:
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Not very accurate. Video recording, mms, voicecommand can all be added to the Iphone, and it does have GPS.

Quite what was your motivation in posting this, I've no idea. It does seem a little obsessive.
[Touch HD General] ez2remember:
lmao. :D

But there should be some minor adjustments to be accurate.

GPS "turn by turn" voice navigation = X

It does have GPS...
[Touch HD General] rahan95:
Sorry to bring this topic up, but I wanted to be fair after having posted that kind of sentence.

After a few more days with the touch HD, it appears that I had messed up Opera by installing Adobe Flash lite, an old habit from my previous phones probably.

And since I uninstalled it, it's a whole different story and all i wrote previously is irrelevant.

Pages load load almost as fast on both devices and scrolling is now smooth on my HD too and I can click on links without needing extra-zooming any more =) My web browsing is now as enjoyable on the HD as on the Iphone but with a bigger, more detailed screen.

I also suscribed to Orange TV option and watching it on such a wide screen is great.

In fact, I moved my work sim card to the Iphone and hardly uses it for phone calls only and do with my HD all I used to do with the Iphone and more (TV, GPS, etc...)

When I think I was about to sell the HD away, I'm now about to sell the Iphone =)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
The other day I followed the thread

Root_Method_Rev_B/11_Bootloader_Using_Combo_Firmware

This is a root method for the s7 and s7 edge on bootloader 11 (B) phones using the combination firmware. I really dont think it will do much but I will post it and maybe someone will do something with it Downloads...

xdaforums.com

and though it works it is super buggy and constant crashes after reflashing several times. SO I wish to return the phone to complete stock. Is there a way to do this? I have read over several post about this and I just get errors or varying results no matter what method/rom I try to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
What version of Odin are you using, and what firmware are you trying to flash?

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Generally flashing Samsung devices works pretty much the same. If you're returning to stock from a custom ROM or otherwise want to wipe data, use the CSC_xxxxx instead of HOME_CSC_xxxxx file in the CSC slot. Data doesn't mix and match well, so if you didn't wipe after coming from a custom ROM or other firmware, that could be the reason for the instability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
I've tried several ODIN versions. 3.12,3.13, 3.14, 2 different modified versions and it seems to be the same.

I have tried 3 different cables, no change.

I have tried using the normal CSC and HOME_CSC but I still return errors.

I can flash the combination firmware and the stock MM rom listed in the original post but no matter what other post I try to follow I can not get any to take. How can I get rid of this combination firmware and return to stock completely?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I think what you need to do is re-partition the device using the factory PIT file that's located in the CSC package. In the Odin options tab, check the NAND Erase and Re-Partition boxes, then in the PIT tab, select the PIT file you extracted from the CSC_xxxx.tar

DO NOT check Re-Partition without using the PIT file. Make sure you're using the correct firmware for your device as this could result in a brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
Where should I get the PIT file from? Any particular site/rom file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
As I stated above, it should be in the CSC file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
Well, after many many hours of trying what seems like countless roms/files I have finally got it back to stock Oreo but the lag and stability is horrible. It is pretty much unusable, music apps crash/stutter, Playstore takes about 3 minutes to start up and can't even be scrolled through, returning to the home screen takes about 2 minutes as you watch each and every element load in one at a time including the wallpaper. I think the phone is trash now? I'm on B/11 (G935VVRSBCTC1) if that helps with any suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jrkruse:
did you flash stock with odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I got the rom from samfw and flashed with Odin. Then I tried using Smart switch to update it and it was all successful but the phone is still fairly jittery. It's not as bad as it was on the combo rom but music apps still stutter and the system overall is pretty laggy.

Side note: The phone ran like new prior to flashing the combo rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jrkruse:
You need to extract the pit file from the stock firmware regular CSC file and load it in the pit tab in odin along with the other files and you need to flash regular CSC not home CSC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
I did. I'll try it again Monday and see if it makes any difference. I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jrkruse:
it sounds like you didnt wipe data so reboot too stock recovery and wipe data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] panowolf:
I think it's running about as good as it's going to. I reflashed the stock Oreo firmware and extracted the pit, nand erase, re-partitioned, wiped data /cache. Still a bit jittery but it'll do. Just need it to play music while at work.

Thanks for the advice.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] Michele31415:
Since Consumer Cellular switched me over from T-Mobile to AT&T the wi-fi calling feature on my Moto G Stylus 2021 XT2043-4, Android 11 non-rooted suddenly disappeared. CC claims that this feature is in fact provisioned on my account, but I'm not seeing it. Worked fine before. Any ideas?
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] mihirjha:
Usually it is operator dependent feature and shows if the operator has that facility or not, but since in your case CC claimes it is already provisioned for your account it could be because of a pending system update. Try that maybe it helps. if it still doesnt work try your sim on some other device and confirm that if the issue is operator related or device related.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] Michele31415:
Thanks for the reply. CC claims wifi calling is already enabled. They cycled it twice off and back on, I rebooted the phone, still no wifi calling. It worked fine using CC's T-Mobile SIM. It doesn't work using ATT's SIM. I have to conclude that the problem is ATT, not my phone. I'm tired of dealing with CC so I'm just going to drop them and try Ting. They claim it "may" work over there. At least they use T-Mobile. If it doesn't work, I'm no worse off than now, and I'm saving $7 a month.
