I just checked all the links in the first post and they are all still good.

Not sure what has happened, but it must have been fixed on the 4shared end.

Ive seen some new features of wp7 I like but its too locked down & I prefer being able to switch my ui etc etc. My tp2 recently died out on me. I want to get the latest hardware but with my current os in the same body/form of the tp2. I wondering if its possible & how many other users feel the same as I do.

Edit:for the ones that voted "no" do u still feel the same now after purchasing ur wp7 device?
[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
I'm just warning, next time there will be consequences
[Windows Phone 7 General] pupakota:
i'd ban you, if i were mod. people like you turned pda's into justphones for halfwits.

it could be possible seeing ZERO difference of incoming w7 crap hardware(just old stuff with new price, i mean). methods may be problem.

i voted yes thinking about OLD style pda with dpad, kbd and plenty of mem onboard and xscale cpu. just as it should be like. not just screen with 2 buttons for 600$+ AND fockin w7 crap. i do not need just a dumbphone, i need PDA with phone module, y'know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
The HD2 had a WM6.1 ROM in development. Don't know what happened to it, but someone got WM6.1 working on the HD2. Since the new WP7 stuff is going to be similar in the hardware division, I'd say yes, there may be a slight chance of WM6.1 being made for WP7 phones.

The question is, are YOU fu***g re******d? If you can't answer the damn question, don't even bother posting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
I can't seem to understand why you would want WM6.5/6.1 on a Newer device. OK, I can understand 6.5, but 6.1? Just go buy the HD2 if you want Winmo 6.5, if has the same specs as the launch WP7 devices.

---Also we won't know what's possible until WP7 releases and XDA jumps on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
Personally, not really worth repeating the words that we do not correct .... it pollutes the forum.

Let's leave that he was having a bad day, come back later and think what he did, otherwise give holidays, for him.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Win_XP:
My answer is yes too, I prefer the old-style WM6.1 OS with some new freshy hardware :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] richteralan:
surprisingly some people voted yes.:eek::eek::eek:

Let me ask this question:

Do you want a new laptop made in 2010 run Windows 98SE?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pimppoet:
I want something of the same form as the tp2 as I stated in my original post...to go over all of the wp7 shortcomings would be beating a dead horse. Im not a super power user but my tp2 worked for what I needed it for even tho it was lagging at times. I no had to problems with wm6.1 except for afew quirks such as the unread text issue which was fixed by replacing the dll.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pimppoet:
I get what your saying but I can still do all of what I used 98 for with xp/7 such as change my background lol. I would be nice if I could dual boot wm6/7 or have an pro version of wp7 that fill my wm6 needs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] richteralan:
This is very interesting.

People they tend to learn very quickly about new things at one period of time, but then they become lazier and lazier and prefer to stay with "what they already known."

This mentality is very interesting and belive it or not, artists have the same problem, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Most of the "missing features" will come to WP7 shortly; most likely within a year. Copy and Paste is supposedly already being worked on for the next point release which may be out before the end of the year. Also, there's a relatively major update supposedly coming along with CDMA support in the "first half" of 2011.

For other things, XDA will unlock/add them, I have no doubt. Things like file system access will likely come quite quickly. I understand that many people want an "open" device from the factory but hacking your device is hacking your device. How many of you are running the stock ROM with no system mods? The difference in an unlocked/jailbroken/modded/cooked/whatever WP7 device will just gain a few more things that came out of the box for WM6. But unlike WM6, the platform is modern and rock solid. It's extremely fast and just an overall MUCH better experience. If you can use a WP7 device and not think the overall platform is better than 6.5, I'd be amazed. So if you're willing to void your warranty to flash a WM6.x rom, why not just go the other way and flash a modded WP7 rom that adds the "missing" features?

Another thing, WM6.1 is not designed for a capacitive display. 6.5 was updated a bit to allow it and with HTC Sense it works OK but 6.1 without sense will likely be unusable on a capacitive screen.

So all-in-all, the benefits of WP7 FAR outweigh the things we're "losing" in my opinion. Will I miss tethering, copy+paste, file system access, and multitasking? Of course. But I just don't think they're a big deal and I know most of that will be remedied rather quickly if you're willing to hack/mod your phone which is the whole point of this forum. So at the end of the day, it's a win/win. If you're uneasy about it, just wait a bit and we'll find out of my predictions are accurate. Then make the call.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
It's not even the OS itself I don't like. It's that I-wanna-look-like-a-fake-iPhone interface thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Ummm it doesn't look like an iPhone. You can make the claim that the platform is similar in that it's somewhat restricted but the UI is nothing like the iPhone. To say otherwise is patently false. If you don't like the UI, fine but don't try and use the excuse that it looks like the iPhone. Windows Mobile and Android look more like the iPhone and WP7 does.

Just in case you don't believe me, PocketNow did a comparison.

[youtube]Gngr3RF_eBY[/youtube]
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
Uhhhh, if you don't notice the whole "I've got a load of icons" thing, I can't help you. I did not say it's a bloody exact replica, I said it's like a bad clone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
WP7 only has "icons" on the secondary app list.

WM6 has a very iPhone like listing of apps if you hit the windows/home button as does Android; much more so than WP7. What do you expect? At some point you're always going to have a list of applications. Should they just not use icons at all and have text only or something? Getting beyond the home screen, the entire UI design is different than Android and iPhone. There's no title bars, no frames, no drop shadows, no gradients. Here's an article (by an independent 3rd party) explaining how the WP7 UI is different than other OSes. Maybe you think it's a horrible copy because it's not a copy at all?

Like I said, if you don't like WP7's UI, fine, that's your prerogative. It's just a horribly inaccurate comparison.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
No. It is a near copy. It has the whole black background full of icons thing. And if you look, it's basically a near information-less screen just like the iPhone.

I expect Microsoft to be original just like they have with WM6.1 and WM6.5
[Windows Phone 7 General] kevmass:
i think that if we a got a wp7 device and put 6.1 or 6.5 maybee 6.5.x just think of the speed of the thing !!!!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
I know. That's why I fully support this idea. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Uhhhh wow... you're reeallllyy reaching. If you're gonna say it's a copy of iPhone then you could just say it's a copy of WM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Looking at the specs for the HD3, I say we already do - the HD2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
That's an original Start menu design.

And it's not just the icons thing. It's the copying of the pure simplicity of the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
I agree 6.5 has got a **** iphone like start menu, just as well you don't have to use it.

Still doesn't stop the fact that the WP7 is an iphone clone with a less informative homescreen [as the picture illustrates] and a lot more swiping to see anything in full.

Lets not forget who popularized gigantic kiddy text and menus, SIP that use up 3/4 of the screen, navigation by swiping, flicking, endless scrolling, almost buttonless devices with no nav pad, limited capacitive screens, non existent task switching and multitasking, thinking copy and paste is superfluous, etc etc, I know this is what grom thinks of as a "modern" mobile OS, funny they are iphone 1 features, yet he claims to hate apple, but loves wp7 which follows this template to a tee, strange fella you are grom.Who would have thought people would use wm in the hope of it becoming like something else at such a basic level
[Windows Phone 7 General] pimppoet:
bumped......
[Windows Phone 7 General] Monty Burns:
I got warned about "masking out" swearing..... wonder what will happen to you?

Hypocritical mods.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
Are you high? The differences between WP7 and iOS4 are staggering...

Xbox LIVE integration, deep integration with Microsoft services, very subtle notifications vs. popups, completely different homescreen, more informative lockscreen, silverlight application development & XNA support, phones with hardware keyboards...

Need I go on, or are you done?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
You told me!!! wow, can't argue with those points, especially the bit about being tied to OS makers services, that's the winner, never seen that before anywhere else...totally original idea.

As an aside, I'm going to have to start using a lock screen, seems far more efficient than just turning my devices on and using it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pimppoet:
bumped for the ones that have purchase wp7....do they still feel the same now after experiencing wp7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Getting a Windows Phone 7 phone and putting WM 6.5 on it would not be like putting on 98SE. It would be like a new Windows 7 2010 laptop and trying to put XP on it. Even that is not correct. We would be going back one version with WP7, not 2. But, you would be shocked how many people would go back (I have no idea why, Vista maybe but, win 7 ?)

Not that I want it because I would like honest time to see if I really like the phone and its features. People have played with the emulator and know what they will be missing. Intill you have the phone in your hands and play with it for a few weeks, you can't be 100% honest on how you like or hate it.

I think it will all matter on how productive you can be with the phone. If I can do everything I can do with my 6.5 phone, faster, more feature rich and better, then I would stick with it and would have no reason to go back. Remote Desktop is going to be a big one for me, so I hope they make a free addon for it at least(it's said that it will not be incuded).

I think the biggest thing I will hate is all my great apps and games over the years I have gotten will be worthless, I just hate spending extra money for the same thing (anyone own a VHS, DVD and Blu-ray of the same movie ?), unless it's 200% better. I think this will be my most major hate with it, as of now at least.

I WOULD love to have the option to go back to 6.5 (not 6.1), just in case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
Yes, I do. Why? Because that would have the speed equivalent to diarrhea shooting out someone's arsehole! :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
But Window98SE (same with 6.1) would not support all the same hardware or at least not be optmized for it. So, it would not be as fast as you think. 98se's support ended on July 11, 2006. What were we running in 2006 ? It would not support the CPUs, Memory, Video displays, harddrive to run it on with modern hardware.

Proof on the 98se support date

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx

Riddle me this, you seem to hate Windows phone 7, you think of it has a iPhone clone and everything everyone else says about is wrong. Why even bother looking at it ?

Find a HD2, then you will have close to the specs of WP7 models with 6.5 or just go to another handset (android ?). If you get one with the mindset you have now, you will hate it no matter what, so why even bother ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rr5678:
Well, you wanna know how I know its fast? I tried it on a Core 2 Quad machine. From Windows logo appearance to Desktop was about 10 seconds. That's right, 10 seconds.

Well how the hell do you know I didn't change my opinion on WP7? This thread was supposed to be dead. While I may not like the interface all that much, I never said I hated the OS itself, and if I did say that, well, my opinion has changed. I'm gonna give the OS a chance. Oh, when I said it looked like the iPhone, I meant the whole icon based simplicity thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] guro:
i definitely would like to have wm6.5 on a wp7 device!

i do want a phone which has a slide out fullsize keyboard and at least a one ghz cpu, but the only one available is the tp2. the k01 from toshiba will probably never make it out of japan.

so the HD 7 Pro or the Dell venue pro will fullfill my wishes, but wp7 won't. i would enjoy multithreading, sense interface, customizing and my own written application on it with great performance.

i hope someone will do a portation because the main hardware has nearly the same specs like the hd2. 1ghz snapdragon, 5mp cam, proximity sensor, light sensor, accelerometer and maybe compass. as well as capacitive touch screen. and keyboard would be the problem i think.

well, lets see what time will bring us, let the wp7 hype pass by ;) or maybe wp7 becomes more like it...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nurps:
I definatly would want hat. The HTC 7 Pro would be pefect with WindowsMobile.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nurps:
You cant make that comparision. Windows for PC never lost features the previous PC Windows had. Windows Phone is completly different.

If you want to compare..install MAC OS (but this is a good OS to so also not a good comparison) on your PC and think if you want back to windows because all your old programs arent running anymore. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nurps:
But would it really all work?

USB in storage device mode, changeable SD card without hardreset, notification LED working and showing longer than stupid 5 minues
[Windows Phone 7 General] poiuyasdfg:
Here's your answer:

When windows vista cames out with new PC in 2006, more than 1/4 new buyers choosed to downgrade to windows xp from vista. Why? Just because vista sucks! Even those manufactries was forced to provide OS exchange plan due to huge complain of their vista preinstalled PC.

Seems MS can't learn something from the failure...

Just hope WP7 don't become another vista ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ramsfan_Jim:
Not without Flash storage it wouldn't. (So it won't) The wait for a decent phone goes on...:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smoothound:
I'm going to give WP7 a good run, but I definately like the idea of being able to drop back to WM6.5/SPB if things don't work out :)

For the record, my Omnia 7 got ordered today, from what I've seen this is maybe the hottest handset upon launch.....so 6.5ROMS for that one please ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nurps:
It doenst have one? I was hoping it does since some of the other WP phones come with a cardslot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ramsfan_Jim:
Nope, I can't believe it either - but that came direct from HTC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] igoivo:
Yes! I liked 3.1! What a point to have prenty of ROM if it is dumped by new Windows OS? No space for YOUR apps anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nurps:
So did anyone do it yet? Is it working as mass storage device, are the notification LEDS supported? Is the memory card changeable without a hard reset?

CMD on windows

change to your directory where you unzipped the Android SDK

change to the directory where the ADB is

I'm really stuck.

First.

Connect the phone to the computer and mount the INTERNAL SD as mass storage.

I assume that it means this?

The "Phone" folder. There is a folder in there named "sd".

Second.

Unmount the SD card safely -> (to prevent data corruption).

What or how to unmount?

Third.

Go to settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging.

That's not possible since i had to connect my phone to the pc in order to go to the folder. And with USB debugging on. I can't access my phone.

I really need some help with this, because that guide needs more detail. Or i'm just plain stupid. Anyway..

Anyone willing to help me out?

Thanks

Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyman:
Bump.

Really need some help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
disconnect the phone from the PC

then enable the USB Debugging mode

then connect the phone back to the PC

now after the phone connects it will show you 2 messages

one with a red triangle telling you, you are in debugging mode

and the other to mount the device, select the message and click on mount

you only do this if you need to copy files to the phone

if not then just leave it connected un-mounted, then you can use the ADB commands
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyman:
When i try to access I:\ (Location of internal memory). I just can't seem to go to the drive.

And what do you mean with: change to the directory where the ADB is.

THanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickyman:
Bump.

Still need help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgpound6985:
If you mounted your phone, NOT via Kies you should be able to enable USB debugging. Change it from Kies to USB Mass storage.

1. Connect the USB cable and pull on the notification bar then click on "USB Connected" then click Mount.

2. After you mount the SDCards, you're supposed to copy the update.zip to root of your SDCard NOT in the "sd" folder. Just right when you open the drive just place it in there not inside any folder. Then you unmount the drives.

3. Pull on the notification bar again then click on "USB Connected" like you did to mount the phone's drives but this time hit Unmount.

You won't be able to use ADB unless you have the Android SDK already installed. There's many guides out there on how to install it.
[Off-topic] mrbox23:
I would like to build a solar panel to charge my phone/laptop. Just a simple 120v whatever amp equivalent to a standard(US) electrical outlet. I was thinking if i could generate what my car puts out I could mod the ac outlet converter deal I have in my truck that uses the cigarette lighter.

I find products that trickle charge a car battery using a solar panel, would that put me in the right direction?

I'm sure its been done but my google searches were fruitless for my endeavor.
[Off-topic] lonelykatana:
I have no idea where you would even start.

But I have to say its an awesome idea! :(:(:(

My dad and I build a little wind turbine, to power a small LED before (when I was about 5)

Im thinking maybe I could just up scale that! thanks for the inspiration!

Ill be keeping a keen eye on this thread :D

how can I get the phone go to sleep directly?

I have tried with this but it doesnt go to sleep instant:

wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP | PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, "alert");

wl.acquire();

//...DO WORK...

wl.release();

I'm looking to possibly get this as my 1st android phone - but I would like to be sure that you can get 3g on ATT in the US.

Any confirmation would be helpful.

thanks.

Edit: NM I found out the sad news :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kheavy:
Just for reference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes you can get the i9000m version and you get full 3G coverage on both 850 and 1900 bands

don't get the i9000 version as that is only 900 and 1900 bands
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
You don't need BOTH (850 and 1900) to get 3g. You can get 3g with just 1900mhz, but it's definitely preferable to have 850mhz and 1900mhz.

So get the i900m.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
true and not true

only having 1900 band have a disadvantage

specially when you go underground or into buildings and areas outside of the big cities
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
What do you mean true and not true? If you read what I said, I am agreeing with you :confused: Did you not read my "but...." part?

You can get AT&T 3g with JUST 1900mhz. I didn't say it was great, but nonetheless you can still get it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
no not really some places dont have 1900 only 850..

but you are correct in that more have 1900 than 850.. but all new att services they are putting in for 3g are 850
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
:confused: I didn't say anything about which has more.

I am simply trying to convey the message that a phone with 1900mhz 3g can in fact connect to AT&T 3g network. I am not saying or have ever said that you can get it everywhere where AT&T provides 3g service. Jeez. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Ok so unfortunately my 2 week old epic 4g was ran over today. ruined the screen, back cover and the battery is bulged out. It still turns on but no display(can hear the phone boot up)

Question is. When I get the replaement will it have the battery cover and the battery? when I was with t-mobile they only sent you the bare phone and you had to use your old battery and battery cover.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I just got my replacement Epic today (screen separation) and it was just a bare phone.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Refurb or "Brand New Second Hand"?

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Brand new. I had to peel the little clear protective strips off the bezel and all that jazz.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
crap, so what do I do?

I put on the insurance claim that It was ran over. But I didnt put anything else. It says it will be here tomorrow.

I would think with having to pay the 100 deductible that they would send you a brand new phone.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Why don't you call them and ask?
[Epic 4G General] deaonanthony:
+1 it won't hurt to ask. if all else fails im sure you can find a cover for cheap on amazon or something like that.
[Epic 4G General] r3zon8:
was it an insurance claim(deductible) or you called Sprint for replacement under warranty(no deductible)?

the ins claims replacements are always 'complete' replacement, whereas the 'under-warranty' replacements are bare phone..at least from my experience. ymmv
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
it was an insurance claim through asurion where i payed the 100 deductible.
