i'd like to say wireless tether... but uhh.... haha :p

i think abduction world attack is my favorite game, i mean, you can't beat a jumping cow.

not sure about favorite app, but people seem to be really into sense ui. show it off by telling them about the widgets and stuff like the notification bar pull-down and multitasking. all my friends think cause of that, it's better than an iphone at least.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] david279:
Game == Bust A Move!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
I would agree with this. more than any individual app I use the widgets included in sence more than anything.

if I had to choose something I would have to say game and app in one would be "a world of photos" great way to kill time with people around the world also I have a 2 year old so I find myself letting her play a game called "Touch! for kids" great way to entertain a little one for a good 30 min at least.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] KERKEDAGAIN:
defly agree w/ ToonWarz but I also throw Home Run Battle in there for those running 2.1..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
Haven't tried toon warz...will have to give it a whirl!

App: Decide 4 Me <-- shameless plug or Reddit is fun

Game: Dope Wars :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
I still think GMote is awesome for streaming music/vids from my external hard drive (attached to my laptop at home) to my phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
Best app ever is bonjour madame! If you ain't got it, better get on it!!! It's NSFW, SO WATCH OUT!

hi u put the worg ram on my phone and know i cant com on when i put it on my computer it just say looking for unknow device and the phone dont com on at all can i get help plz:(
[Imagio General] BRosenow:
I think you are going to have to provide a little more detail before we can be of much help.

Wrong RAM?? Do you mean you flashed the phone with the wrong ROM? That can brick your phone pretty quickly. What EXACTLY did you do?
[Imagio General] jbh00jh:
The phone is " Bricked " now. Try to get another one from VZW , because all you have now is a paper weight.
[Imagio General] tonyadz:
damn i just get it
[General Questions and Answers] Dougmeister:
A Radio Shack manager was trying to talk me into upgrading my Motorola Q. (I have a SERO ("F&F 500") plan.)

I was asking about the Touch Pro 2, but he was trying to talk me into the HTC Hero or even the Samsung Moment. I told him about my $30/month SERO plan and he said that he'd let me keep that plan with *any* of the phones they sell.

Now, I'm a newbie at this stuff, but I don't think that Sprint will allow any phone other than Windows-Mobile based on a SERO plan.

The more I think about it, and the more I talk to people, the more skeptical I am. But I have to at least try ;-)

Thanks for reading. Now, the question:

If he *can* get me any phone that Radio Shack offers, without losing my SERO, what should I go for?

Thanks for any opinions and/or advice that you can provide.
[General Questions and Answers] j8971:
BEWARE my fellow SERO. Many companies will say anything to make a sell, especially with the economy the way it is now. I was told a year ago that sales people are sometimes unaware of the restrictions from Sprint, but some that know often lie just to meet their sales quotas. Keep in mind that only getting approval from a Sprint rep (sometimes also know to lie) is valid. Call a Sprint rep and ask point blank, am I eligible for a Hero or Moment. Because knowing is half the battle.

Also…I would go with the HERO. HTC rocks!
[General Questions and Answers] silex:
I would love to hear an update on this.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
right now it seems that whenever i put the phone into silent mode from the unlock screen the only notification i get is the blinky ball. nothing else. i have to go into the settings to turn on vibration notifications every single time.

is there anyway to make it so i can have the vibrations on and ONLY turn the ringer/sound notifications on and off with the slider on the unlock screen?

i know i can just lower the volume with the rocker to the vibrate middle ground, but being able to handle it from the unlock screen would be nice.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
No.........
[Nexus One General] thenoo:
With the slider only: no. However, you can slide to mute, unlock and hit the volume + rocker up once. Hit it again to restore the original ringtone volume.

...At least that way you won't have to go digging into the settings.
[General Topics] xilpaxim:
Is there an app where basically you can take a photo, then use it as a reminder and/or a task?

I was just thinking of this because I went to take a picture of the letterhead of some company I need to call tomorrow, and wished I could just have that exact picture come up as a reminder, instead of putting a reminder/task in my phone, which tells me to go look at the picture.

I tried doing some googling, but the first try brought up some freaking iPhone apps even though I specified windows mobile, then when I changed the word app to programs just a bunch of stuff that wasn't what I wanted.

Thanks for any help.
[Hero CDMA General] Sooty305:
Hey guys i have googled this over and over, i was wondering if anyone had this similar problem and if anyone found a way around this, I have been on here before when i had my G1 and i got it to work perfectly but this hero is giving me a headache. please if i am posting in the wrong thread im sorry please point me in the right direction. I can get the phone rooted ok, and i have tried several roms but when i try to tether thru bluetooth i can pair the phone with my laptop just fine runing Windows XP service pack 3, but when i try to connect to the network access it says "No services found on HTC hero" my phone pairs it connects but it says my phone has no bluetooth services i cant even get it to read my laptop as a headset. my G1 still connects fine but the hero wont. I'm stumped plz help me.
[Hero CDMA General] Sooty305:

[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
If you are on the stock ROM, it does not support tethering, unless you are rooted and are using WiFi Tether under Bluetooth PAN mode.
[Hero CDMA General] Sooty305:
My phone is rooted and i was having problems with SU access but i have fixed it and i am able to tether using the Wifi settings of "Wireless tether for root users". My prolem is trying to tether using Bluetooth, it wont show my phone on my laptop as a modem. I't is not my Laptop because i can tether using my G1, its only acting weird when i use my hero.

Edit: I am using the "Gumbo 1.5c" rom
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Just use PDAnet, works better. Has actual BT support. Search "PDAnet" in market
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
i purchased one of those backup batteries on ebay from china, after about 2 weeks it came in.

upon opening it i compared it to my battery, the new one said htc inovation on it but looked like a knock off counterfit to me. so before ever putting it in my phone i put it in the included charger and started charging it. once it was complete i tried changing batteries and as soon as i put it in my nexus one the little led at the top right started flashing from green to orange, the screen wouldnt even flicker. as long as this battery was in, even if i plugged it in it would do this. i left it plugged in over night.

i really dont wanna wait for a new one so im wondering if there is a way i could fix it. im going out on a limb and suspecting that the charger that came with it is the problem, as it seems to be some weird universal charger. so for the past few days ive had a led attached to the battery and it still i not dead. once its completely dead im going to try to charge it with my nexus.

any other ideas/insight you guys can give?
[Nexus One General] jairuncaloth:
I know you can get a bit of info from /sys/kernel/debug/battery_log

I'm not 100% sure on how exactly to interpret that though.
[Nexus One General] greatcapp:
I've also had what i assume is a dud battery from ebay. Exactly the same issue - flashing orange/green LED. I'm waiting for them to ship a replacement. I guess I'm not really that surprised. It's not like it's a genuine battery. I was kind of expecting problems with it i guess.:eek:
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
yeah it reminds me of those fake louie vutton purses you see on the streets in big cities, says htc on it but i doubt htc had anything to do with making it.

i bought one just like it for my g1 a year ago and it worked fine, still works to this day with no noticable difference from the legit one that i got it with.

i got a refund but i hate to let it go to waste i wanna try to fix it. when i hook it up to the led it shines so its obviously giving power, but every few seconds or so the led flashes, im not sure if this is the battery or the fact that i have the led taped to the diodes lol.

did you get one of those universal battery chargers with yours? i got one that you have to slide the connectors to fit the battery and i have a feeling its about as high quality as the battery. im wondering if that had anything to do with it?
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
that's what mine did when it got dunked in water....
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
did you dunk the whole phone or just the battery?

ive noticed that the phone flashes from orange to green if you try to turn it on while its plugged in without a battery in. perhaps it means insufficient power?
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
just a heads up, i put the new battery i got into the charger that was included in my first backup batty the charger is this one from this same seller

http://cgi.ebay.com/Multi-Purpose-B...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3efc5b5855

not only did it destroy the new battery but it melted part of it after litterally 10 minutes of charging.

BEWARE of that charger and probably that seller as well

it probably would have burned my house down if i had not smelled it before walking out the door
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
whole phone... it was tragic
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
i am so sorry for your lost.

[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Just a simple poll. Please leave a comment as well.

I love HTC to death and everything, but I believe its now time to switch for me. I'll be picking up the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 once it comes out.

One of the main reasons is that Microsoft is really slow to change. Android has gone through a number of great revisions, whereas it took Microsoft plenty years to go from 6 to 7. Also, I would like a phone that can be used to its full potential by a myriad of apps of out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kaostick:
Right now I'm giving myself the impression that I will likely pick up a WP7 eventually. I won't be an early adopter as I love my TP2, and I'm still under contract for a while. But once I'm freed up from that, I'm definitely open to it. There are some things I don't like about WP7, like loosing all my WM6 apps (assuming no one releases an emulator, which I personally think is unlikely), but I think the benefits could outweigh the downsides. Only time will tell though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] glyndal:
Android is flexible, well styled, fast and an ever growing community. was close to getting a HD2 but held out til MWC ... I'm glad I did. I'll be grabbing the Desire in april. while wm 7 looks nice, it's still another 8 or so months away and by then android will probly have a new update on the horizon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrism_scotland:
I'm swithering, WM7 looks good but very tempted to go back to Apple when iPhone 4G is launched.
[Windows Phone 7 General] freyberry:
I doubt that they will come up with anything that can challenge the HTC Desire...

Seriously, do you expect them to add a bigger WVGA screen, a good camera, faster processor AND more RAM with one single update?

No, that's not how Apple works.

Plus, they would have to add multitasking, cutomizability, better call handling features and a perfect way of handling notifications (because Android DOES is perfectly).

No way.

EDIT: And did I mention the crappy build quality of the iPhone? They knew about issues like hairline cracks and the scratched Apple logo and chrome frame with the 3G, yet they released the 3GS with exactly the same casing that's a piece of junk.

Now I did ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Semseddin:
I am a newbie in wm world and i find it huge, planning to stay for a while :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Anyone looking at the Xperia X10?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pupakota:
btw, that poll here is pure absurd.

consider adding: "No, PDA is dead already", or precise if that poll is just for PHONE users. not everyone has to choose between feeble android, moronic iphone or wm.

if i search for phone, i'd choose PHONE, not moronic trendy BS.

i was with wm because i needed portable computer with all its software(that will soon cease to WORK(or already DID(6.5.x))).

wm7 is end of PDA, imho.

----

theomni, are you WM kicker? Android fan or sth?

Google paid you for this bs or what? android has myriad of BS, not apps, first. there is NOTHING that could be substitute of apps i know for years(since wm03).

it is funny that wm7 will kill MYRIAD of useful apps, especially perfect, freeware ones, made for WM by great people(BEFORE xdadev era, i am not talking about fockin manilla skins here).

happy marketBSplace welcomes, thank you for killing portable computers with mobile windows by turning it into phones for masses(epic FAIL).

and yeah, sorry for my engrish, i dont care.

(topic not suscribed, waste of time).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rim1Flex:
I'm not going anywhere:D Windows Phones are awesome:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Irishpride:
I can honestly say that I will be at the Verizon store the day WP7 comes out. I'll have an upgrade in a couple months, but I'm saving it for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gogol:
Just give me 4.3" WP7 and I will buy immediately :)

No, I wont switch to other platform. I will stick to WM (Currently WM6.1 on HTC Kaiser).

Android is nice, I was about to switch until I saw WP7.

Lucky, I can still "play" around with Android on my HTC Kaiser :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I want WP7 on my HD2, winmo for me :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] astuermer:
I either will buy a WinMo7 phone - or better - hope there will be a custom ROM for my TouchPro ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shasarak:
My take on this is that I'm hoping there will be cooked HD2 ROMs based on WP7, and that I will try them out if there are. I'm currently only 3 months into an 18 month contract with my HD2, and right now I don't see any pressing need to upgrade before the end of the contract period. By that time we may be close to the launch of the next iPhone model after this year's, and Android and Maemo will likely have improved dramatically; so it's impossible to predict what I might do then!
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
You need more options, my answer would have be HELL YES! WP7! Xbox and Zune and Windows Mobile, what more could I want!

And all these people who keep saying there going to change to android, I really dont get it, Yeh its a nice os, but it still doesnt feel finished to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kholk:
It depends only on upgradeability.

If the HTC HD2 will get the WP7 upgrade, I'll still be buying a Windows Phone. If not, I'll go to Android.

I don't want my $800 device to be obsolete after 3 months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] giggles33:
I love Windows, however I'm going to have to give it up due to my company offering me service from sprint.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
You should add another selection for your poll, to early to tell.

We don't know much about the OS yet, and picking a phone is more than just the OS. The actual hardware & features matter too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Micke401:
Android

Android still has to be rooted before the fun begins,maemo does not.

Have Iphone 3gs today,really good but SOOOO mainstream and booring.

Winmo,big NO think this one have done it`s thing but it was good really good back then.

Maemo for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK0081:
i think its kind of early to make a decision, i've always been a fan of WM but i have to wait for the MIX on march to see how apps will go, and whether WP7 provides access to registry and filesystem in order for us to be able to tweak some things (although i find that unlikely).

we should also wait and see apple's response to WP7 during the summer.

if i move away from windows it will probably be for android, but as i said, i didnt vote because the info we have at this time is very little on the platform
[Windows Phone 7 General] Win_XP:
I will stay with my Universal running WM6.5.3 roms :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
From what I see, I'll probably move to WP7 even with its limitations. I will not do it, however, until there is a good multi-format book reader and a good satnav program for the platform, as those are two key applications for my phone. I'll stay with HD2 until that's settled.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
You read full length books on your phone? do you not like your eyes or something? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Biglia05:
Android.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I read books almost exclusively on my phone, and I've done it for quite a while. HD2 is a marvel for this purpose, with the excellent large high-res screen.

I do like my eyes of course, and that's why I don't use e-ink because in most cases I read in less than perfect lighting conditions where screens with backlight are much better for your vision. Also, narrower text means less left-right eye movement, which makes you much less tired after long reading, even though your habits can suggest otherwise. For some reason easy formatting is used only in newspapers...
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Did microsoft pay you?

Before you decide to waste people's time with your rant about how mobile phones aren't exactly what you wanted just keep in mind that the masses don't want a phone with DOS running on it. So yeah, we are looking for a phone that has high interactivity and a good community support.

And btw, wm7 will only kill a myriad of apps only if you upgrade your WM 2003 phone to that kind of phone. It's completely senseless to say something like that.

And of course, every OS has a bunch of BS apps, where the hell have you been? however Android has a lot more useful apps than does WM. On top of that, Android has a centralized place where many useful apps (along with some useless ones) can be found. Again, we're not looking for apps that will sort our emails or tell us what day of the week is, which is probably what you're alluding to.

Its not a good thing to post whilst high.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
lol, that's why I wrote in "most likely" in the poll. I agree with you guys that it is a bit too early, but everyone will go for that option. I'm just asking from what you've seen so far, would you be likely to stay with WM or move away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
ok then, from what i see, probably wp7 if it has enough customization options regarding the ui, if the ui is what we saw until now, i wont..
[Windows Phone 7 General] crd22:
Considering that my phone is eligable for an upgrade at the end of this year, coincidentally when WP7 will be released, I will almost definitely get WP7 for my next phone, hopefully the TP3.

I'm happy with WM6, but WP7 (and the hardware!!) looks very promising. Xbox and Zune integration is a nice addition. Unless WP7 is completely screwed up, I am willing to try it out. Hopefully MS doesn't pull an Apple and lock down everything though. Customization ftw.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
one thing I don't appreciate about WP7 is that, as others have mentioned, from the looks of it, it's not start-menu centric. Having a start menu just gives you the sense of more control, and the way WP7 is headed, it looks like an enhanced version of the iPhone OS.\

anyone else feeling this way?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gogol:
Unfortunately not.

I think WP7 start screen is much better than iPhone, because basically you can put more useful "information" there.

The start screen is customizable with live tiles ... Which Microsoft describe the tiles can be information from "hubs" or "applications", and I believe you can put "shortcut" of applications (see the IE tile?).

Think like widget in Android ... that probably has the same function as tiles.

So, it is really different compared to current iPhone home screen which consist only icons and icons, shortcut to applications.

I prefer WP7 start screen :)

Let me say I have been with WM for 10years I own a HD2 and Nexus one Android is a ok OS but they are doing what Wm did 10years ago by giving you a Linux/Computer Vibe when you use it I hate Linux While Wp7 is on Cutting Edge And if you watched the engadget Show yesterday Wp7 will have full mutitasking and you can customize the Ui nobody can do it like Wm and yes I can Say all this because I own a nexus and HD2 so I know what android can do by far my HD2 Blows away the nexus and android and you forget you can find android on cheap 528cpu phones microsoft set a standard to give you the best speeds 1ghz 512rom ram to run that should show you right there theres a great change on the way...So for me WM all the way :cool:

I think the next HTC Touch Pro with full keyboard and WM7 is my next choice.....:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

I think this may be a good or bad thing, often there may be some limitation with something, that is what this community was built on, taking what we did like and building things to compensate for things we did not. I think before anyone really makes a choice, we need to know more hard facts and see what the community can do with what we are given (Anyone that thinks MS does not watch this and many of the other community sites is dense, not to say we are a massive impact on MS choices but I think we carry some weight since we do alot of their in the wild testing for them) there are many factors in play here and I will wait and see what comes before I make a final choice. anyway enough soapbox.

Cheers & a Great Thank You to all the awesome devs here and the other community sites that build for WinMo.

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 General] kdkinc:
From what I had read or understand the WP7 won,t be a easy to alter as far a themes,hacks,or software changes. To my understanding its a closed system so chefs won't be able to "fix" the OS.

Android appears to be a open format that can be Fixed with out all the fluff.

I'm glad that I don't have a renewal option until this Fall so I can get a better understanding.

I don't dislike windows as a OS but I don't want stuff (fluff) I don't need but would be tied to in a WP7 OS.
