[Vibrant General] fatnemesis:
I admit that the "cool factor" is important to some people, but to me the fact alone that this is Microsoft product. I've been to the industry since 1990, and I have not yet seen any Microsoft product which was reasonably stable, and did not have backward compatibility issues. Ask any WM phone user.

And the list of missing features closely resemples iPhone OS 1.4:

- No file manager, actually no file level access to the phone content at all. No even bluetooth file transfer!

- No USB mass storage mode, you need to use a buggy and ****ty (and Windows-only) Zune app to sync everything. Sure MS promises to release Zune for Mac, and hopefully it will be better than IE/mac or MS Office/Mac, but personally I do not like using crappy apps like iTunes with ugly UI just to copy one MP3/video file into my phone.

- No Flash!

- You cannot assign custom ringtone unless you purchase it from your cell phone provider. Wow, this is so iPhone-ish.

- No multitasking.

- No copy/paste!!!

- No tethering by using the phone as modem/ethernet. Even stock iPhone has it now.

- A very limited AppStore - of course, this is Microsoft, so Windows Mobile apps cannot be used with WP. Sure they expect all the developers to port their apps to WP and of course everyone would be happy to do so - in next few years or so.

And pitch to zoom worked smooth even on the first iPhone 2G.

I was using Mattc's 1.8 for weeks and suddenly i got this weird wifi fail.

My phone contancly tries to connect to my network, and when it does, it fails on the point when he's obtaining the ip-adress. After that my phone will scan again for available network and i end up in the endless loop.

I found a similar thread on this

But on this thread they talk about flashing back to stock rom, wich I can't since i'm using dhe haRET bootloader.

Anyone else with this strange thing or maybe a solution?

[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
As many of the launch phones are fairly similar in terms of specs, I am wondering if battery life might actually be a larger factor in my decision to buy a WP7 device.

For example, my first instinct would be the HD7, however with the largest screen will it likely eat through the battery at a rate of knots, or is the lack of true multitasking and microsofts minimun specifications likely to help ensure the battery life exceeds many existing smart phones, such as my Nexus one (which usually only lasts a day for me).

I tend to take spec sheets with a pinch of salt, as they often don't match real world experiences, but would love to hear from any one that has had a chance to test a WP7 device themselves.
[Windows Phone 7 General] diablos991:
My rule of thumb is that the larger the screen, the more battery it uses since the display it's the primary drain.

However, since the HD7 is the thinnest launch phone, it could be a good candidate for an extended battery that wouldn't make it too bulky for everyday use.
[Windows Phone 7 General] plastix:
The problem there, is a WP7 to me is desireable specifically because of the UI and general asthetics over my existing Android (which I feel is actually superior to WP7 in terms of functionality). Clamping a giant battery to the back would ruin that effect for me.

I'm struggling to find much comparitive information on each WP7 battery size. Any else able to find a list? I've seen a few websites that I would not normally trust indicate the HD7 only has a 1200mAh battery, which is one of the smallest of the WP7s. Surely that would be a bit of a weak chinc in the HD7s armour?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
The hd7 has a smaller bathe then the Mozart, from what I see the omnia7 is the best as its soles screen and the biggest battery I have seen so far

[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
The same for Samsung Focus. Because of its thin profile I am willing to believe 3 hrs of talk time over 7, which seems exaggerated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pickx:
Focus/Omnia7 are listed as 3hrs talk time? Sounds strange. I heard it had a 1500 mAh battery - coupled with the more efficient S-AMOLED screen it should have more...
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
HTC 7 Trophy - has a Removable and Rechargeable Lithium ion or Lithium-polymer battery, 1300 mAh.

HTC 7 Surround - has a Removable and Rechargeable Lithium ion or Lithium-polymer battery, 1230 mAh.

HTC 7 Mozart - has a Removable and Rechargeable Lithium ion or Lithium-polymer battery, 1300 mAh.

HTC HD7 has a - Removable and Rechargeable Lithium ion or Lithium-polymer battery, 1230 mAh. Small battery for such a large screen.:(

Samsung Omnia 7 / Samsung Focus Has a Li-ion, a 1500 mAh. (Only 8GB of storage:()
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
Dell Venue Pro is listed as up to 7hrs talk time / 14 days standby. It's got a decent size battery and the AMOLED screen which likely helps cut down on the power consumption.

I'd wager a guess that the S-AMOLED and AMOLED phones will have the longest battery lives, so long as the OEMs don't gimp the battery inside.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Samsung's site says:

Up to 300 Hours Standby Time

Up to 6.5 Hours Talk Time

Just for reference, for the iPhone4 Apple claims:

Talk time:

Up to 7 hours on 3G

Up to 14 hours on 2G

Standby time: Up to 300 hours
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
The Samsungs, when using dark themes. 1500mah battery with AMOLED will last you the longest. LG with 1500mah when using light themes. Power draw of the rest of the electronics should be more or less the same, since the platforms are almost identical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
Was about to say something similar. AMOLED should be really good with WP7 as it's quite a dark OS. Those screens take a tiny amount of power to display black (and loads to display white). Combined with a 1500mAh battery and you'd expect the Samsung to do the best.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
From what I can see the LG phones have the longest talk time by far (10hrs).

I also thought the AMOLED screens were supposed to be great on power consumption but Im not so sure that works in real life...the samsung phones that I can see are all rated for 3 hours which is really too little...
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Omnia 7 battery life...

Talk time: 2G / 520Min, 3G / 370Min

[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I was thinking the Omnia 7 was going to be the phone to get with its 4 inch Super Amoled screen and 1500 mAh battery, But 8GB memory is just to small.:(

Why no 16GB version Samsung???
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
Well, I have never had a problem with battery life, on my Vibrant I had a pretty decent run with some sporadic use. With my G2 I had an alright run, but it had an underclocked processor so most likely that helped with the battery life... I don't know, Android has "multi-tasking" and that can hog up the battery a lot. So maybe it might hold up alright on the HD7, regardless I always carry a USB cable in my car, and a car USB adapter, just in case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
You make a good point...2G vs 3G...on MS site they show the 3G phone times for Samsung it seems but I wonder where the 10 hours come from for the LG...2G or 3G...believe it or not 6 hours(370min) is not enough for me...I know that is best case and with other things running on a smartphone it will be more like 4-5 hours...

Samsung's phone will most likely last the longest as it has quite a good battery and the screen uses less power than other screens.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] jamessl:
I managed to hack my phone to Android using the eclair instructions. However, I'm not too happy with the interface, probably 'cos the hardware is the issue and I'd like to go back to Win Mobile, dump my phone and get a Wildfire instead.

How do I get back to Win Mobile?

I've download the windows mobile RUU file from the HTC website to restore it back but it doesn't see the phone. Activesync doesn't recognise the phone is there. When I connect my USB cable to the phone it makes that annoying ice cream van sound repeatedly reporting the USB connecting and disconnecting.

Somebody suggested to me booting back to the bootloader and then trying the RUU but when I hold down the camera and reset the bootloader appears for a nano second and the Linux boot of Android kicks in immediately.

[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
my HD2 was doing this but only when i would go home to visit in Richmond TX. When i would update weather manually it would switch to eastern time zone. I think this is because the phone thinks I am in Richmond VA so it switches to Eastern time. I havent found a viable fix for this but its not really an issue.

IS there a chance you are using your phone in a city or town that has a common name in another state? this might be the reason. While riding my motorcycle a while back i stopped in London Arkansas and my phone thought I was in London UK.

[HD2 General] tomthemd:
I know the problem

Hello,

I know this problem.

And I think I know the reason for this "acting out".

It started for my HD2 at the day of the

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME change.

I believe the makers of that phone forgot to install

a daylight savings option.

It would be great, if someone could make a clock that will do that,

or that will verify the time with a different time service,

taking into account daylight savings time (winter/summertime).

[HD2 General] buaroy:
Nope. Its a problem for org ROMs also. It probably has somting to do with the Internet-provider or the providers of weather-app etc.

In my case the "my lokation" in the weather-app is showing wrong place. This error appeared at the same time as the clock-problem.

Hey all,

So basically what I want to do is have shortcuts on my phone that launch a specific app on my windows pc.

Since without some background info this might sound malicious, here's the case in point:

I want a shortcut to launch XBMC on my htpc. XBMC already have an awesome remote app for android which includes WOL, so I can already turn on my pc with my phone and use my phone as remote once XBMC is launched, however, I don't have a way of launching it through my phone.

I'd want a more elegant/direct solution than having to use vnc. I cannot set XBMC to autolaunch at startup on my pc because it's a shared pc in my home and not everyone uses it as an htpc, it's also a gaming box.

Any ideas? I'd imagine using an android phone to run a script on a PC or launch an app wouldn't be too complicated, but I'm no developer so I pose my question to all the gurus out there!
