Bah. I really wanted AMOLED but the sammy is butt ugly in person and its huge...the mozart has a way nicer form factor. Dunno what I want now D=
[7 Mozart General] LordLugard:
Hmm, the Zune had the same issue connecting to hidden SSID's and adhoc wifi (main reason I never got one), so this gives me cause for concern really.

Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
[7 Mozart General] BlueAnt1958:
Really undecided now

Kinda relates to this thread but not from a user perspective.

I was really looking at getting this device over the Desire.

Now with some research I'm seeing some stuff that really has me leaning back to the Desire.

Batt life seems to be short (anyone remember the first release of the Diamonds)

No copy & paste out of the box... What the f...?

Most of this I'm hoping will be fixed with updates but when will that happen and how soon will the carriers pass them on???

Update: Yes trinest it is.. Its a base function in a business used device and very applish of them to leave it out.
[7 Mozart General] trinest:
From what I've read Battery life is fine- idoits just leave Wifi and every other thing on- gee- I wonder why the battery is draining.

No copy and paste? seriously? thats what keeps you up at night? shesh.
[7 Mozart General] Spybreak:
Honestly, there is no reason for the Wifi chip to drain that much battery if you're not connected to a network. It might be polling too much on the background and burning through battery life.

I've had iPhones and an android phone for a few months and both of them had a longer lasting battery even with Wifi on all day and syncing stuff constantly so it is pretty obvious that Microsoft needs to work on power management in WP7.

I'm using an HTC Trophy and battery laster 13 hours yesterday even after spending most of the day in a 2G-only town. It's not horrible, but could be better.
[7 Mozart General] monkeybutler365:
I've had mine since Saturday and absolutely love it. Killer features for me are the Sharepoint, Exchange and Zune integration. In fact the latter is so good I'll be retiring my iPod and ponying up for a Zune pass when the trial runs out.

Downsides so far have been bloody Orange having two phone masts down in London till the 29th Oct which has made 3g patchy as hell and Twitter occasionally crashing the whole device, and the lack of backgrounding updates in apps. The first is clearly just one of those things (I work in tech support....), and I really hope the latter will be sorted in the next OS update.

I've had/have at various points Windows Mobile 5- 6.5.5 devices, Android 1.5- 2.2 ones and an iPod Touch and can honestly say that WP7 is the most pleasurable to use OS of them all. I'll be keeping my HD2 around for gaming and comics, but my daily phone is totally going to be the HTC Mozart.

Battery life I've had no issue with- seems easily on a par with what I expect from a smartphone.
[7 Mozart General] chex13:
dude, enable your t-mobile signal sharing thingy
[7 Mozart General] arimozuki:
Word selection is just evidence that 'copy & paste' was in the release plan.
[7 Mozart General] vangrieg:
I have an iPhone 4, and it doesn't last through the day if I leave Wi-Fi on accidentally in the morning and move around town during the day a lot. It is never connected but encounters lots of hotspots in the meanwhile. I guess that drains the battery.
[7 Mozart General] monkeybutler365:
You only get gprs with that- which is really rather slow. I have to say I'm making less and less calls and using more and more data!
[7 Mozart General] rdster:
Having had mine since the release date, I have to say this Zune phone still leaves a lot to be desired. The App store aka Zune store aka Bing store (Depending which url you are directed to) still gives loads of licence errors... and yes you can uninstall and then reinstall... so ask yourself why not turn off DRM until the problems are solved.

The Zune program seems to work reasonably well with Win 7 but buggy as all hell with Vista.... why???

Contacts - it prefers to let you search google and live contacts over Exchange contacts. Again... why?

Telstra One app is just a glossy front end to the wap portal and it is all to easy to get the old portal displayed... So Telstra, how about finishing the job and finish coding the portal...

Overall, a sloppy experience. Tiring of the interface, and not being able to change anything other than some of the colours.

hi atm ive got a x10 before had had that wonderfull diamond. Ive been thinking of sellin my se and get a gallaxy s now that theres the wp7 im thinking off getting one of those:-) my conzrakts going to get longered in march so i will look forwards to have an htc again if there sre enough updates.

[7 Mozart General] tori007:
just got mine yesterday

i have to say this is the best UI i have ever used

mail app amazing

keyboard perfect

battery life like every other smartphone

and people keep complaining about errors when installing from store i did not get any.

i install all the free apps from htc and they are all working ok

also in bought bejeweled for 4quid and will say this is as good as the one on xbox if not better was really impressed.

one more thing ie actually loads faster the the default browser on on the desire

i also have the desire and i tested it on orange network and also on wifi

for me this phone is perfect

not one single issue and i can definitely do without copy and paste for a few months
[7 Mozart General] chex13:
The install issue seems to be a Telstra issue, not the OS's fault
[7 Mozart General] Ca5c4d3:
Using the Mozart for 2 weeks now for my work & personal emails calendars and as a music player. The GUI is great and snappy. I am currently syncing with Windows Live Mail and my work Exchange without any issues like the slow start screen mentioned above (maybe its a gmail issue?)

I thought I couldn't let go of my HD2 but this is a great device.
[7 Mozart General] rxsoob:
I have to agree.. my use of it is very similar.. and after a few tweaks like turning off WIFI and setting certain sync times the battery life outdoes my partners IOS4 iphone and its faster..

I havent had an issue with app downloads, its been a perfect experience so far.

So common MS and lets get a WIFI router capability going. (tethering)
[7 Mozart General] chex13:
I was kinda regretting getting this over the Omnia 7 because of its SAMOLED screen so I got one in today to look at and I have to say I prefer the SLCD on a phone. The pentile pattern is easily visible on the Omnia, and while the blacks are downright beautiful, all white pages and websites are very washed out. Pictures have a green tint to them, whereas the SLCD color balance is very close to that of my color balanced Monitor.

So basically, OLED = perfect for my Zune, but the downsides outweigh the upside for a phone.
[7 Mozart General] kille9:
Posted in the wrong section...
[7 Mozart General] DerVampir:
The Mozart runs smooth and the apps start pretty fast compared to my Topaz.

What bothers me most ist the missing "Hidden WLan" Support and the absence of a file manager (hope one of you guys - or maybe even MS will fix that soon) ;)

All in all the Mozart is a great device but will have to stay in my drawer for some weeks, until there are acceptable roms and apps that one can install.

What surprised me most: When i called my vendor and asked for the mozart a few days ago (T-Mobile), he told me that it won´t be in stock for several weeks. Got the box 2 days later...:rolleyes:
[7 Mozart General] chex13:
capacitive buttons are the worst invention ever
[7 Mozart General] andyrham:
Good experience so far

Got mine last week, set up wifi at home and work no problem (not hiddedn SSID but WPA secure.

Windows live, Exchange Email & Facebook integration are all superb. Enter your windows live account details and see everything pull through, no need for any further credentials assuming you have your WL setup to connect to Facebook & LinkedIn it will give you live updates all in the OS. Exxchange Outllok integration works striaght away with lovely Outlook UI very slick indeed.

No problems whatsovere with Marketplace. Even after a hard reset when updating the SD card, all previously downloaded apps were available to re-install. Initially they looked like they were blocked, but after about 10 mins they all appeared including purchased apps. Talking of which Cocktail Flow is a brilliant example of the UI at its best along with Flixter.

Using it in anger now battery life is good so far and I keep Wifi & bluetooth on all the time so to avoid heavy G3 data usage.

Knowing MSFT roadmaps, the improvements to come will continue to impress. Unlike many other MSFT 1st trys ,this one rocks out of the box.

cheers

Andy
[7 Mozart General] FSB:
I have to say, I'm very impressed as well. Was a little surprised I could not sync etc., but once I looked into it on the net, I change my email over to Gmail Apps, which now sync perfectly (Contacts, email and calendar) it has brought me into the real world.

I also run WIFI and BT on all the time, works perfectly at home and work. Was a little hard to connect at home, I just had to turn off authentication, once connected I new the Mac address, then turned it back on.
[7 Mozart General] BlueAnt1958:
First Impressions

Ok I finally got my mozart this week. Been using it for a few days now. In my opinion it is slightly underdone. I hope some of this gets fixed but anyway here we go:

Pros

Feels good in the hand, slick interface, calls are clear, takes good photos.

Cons (most been reported already)

No internet tethering, No sync with outlook, no custom ringtone, blah, blah.

The thing I have not seen mentioned before is when you are in people (contacts) the screens seem to overlap ie: phone contacts and over the right of the screen you can see stuff from the next screen showing thru. What is that about, looks very shoddy.

Anyone else here miss cookie home screen??? :D
[7 Mozart General] :
Agreed on the WLAN support, but what do you need a file manager for?

If you mean support for a USB storage mode, then that makes sense. I doubt it will happen though, because WP7 is locked down and the SD card is not FAT formatted.
[7 Mozart General] kille9:
My friend, you have missed the whole thing with WP7.

Why you se the stuff from the next page, is so you'll be aware that there is more. This is the design, and a really good design I might add!

And if you want to know why the start screen isn't align right, you might want to see this article:

sounds great, but what is really needed for wm is an url snooper. An app that can fetch an url from streams and then open in a player, or better download it...that would be awesome.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tyto:
Do you now any example you can provide me

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Martinhdk:
I dream of an app that that could one of two - or both.

A) Be able to download a multimedia streams (like GetASFStream) where any multimedia URL will be downloaded. I could really use that to be able to download TV programs.

B) Be able to see/copy the URL of any multimedia streams (like URL SNOOPER 2), so I can bypass any FLASH VIEWER and just watch the stream in a player.

I am quite sure that none of this exists on WM.

This would be THE Multimedia App over them all - and I would pay for this.

Does it make sense?

Anyone else having trouble on HTC TP2 with the four front panel keys paint falling away inside? The white phone symbol now looks an ugly shape as the black paint around it has crumbled away. Phone is 16 months old, looked after well and mostly used in hot tropical climate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
This is normally due to moisture heating up under the casing. The easiest fix, since after 16 months, I'm sure it's out of warranty, is to purchase replacement keys online and replace them yourself. The keys can normally be had for around $10 or so. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] palatkik:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurkhali1:
Hi guys, this is just a poll to find out how many people want instructions on drilling a soft reset hole in the battery cover all the way through Otterbox defender or commuter cases. Since you all know how time consuming it is to soft reset when your device freezes with the otterbox case on. I googled but couldnt get any hits. Anyway I decided to go on with it with great success. The whole process took me about 40 minutes and was pretty easy.

Does anyone know where this stuff can be found?

regular developers on XDA didn't get their hand on the tab yet and thats why you dont see the usual dev stuff yet on the fourm

[Desire General] BG Macster:
Hi People,

I have only just found out that you can change the ROM's and all sorts of thing with My HTC Desire.

I have had my phone for 2 weeks, I'm on Virgin Mobile and don't have a clue.

I was talking to a guy at work who has one and he told me about you guys.

I have had a look around but can't see anything for the noob...lol (ME!!!).

I was wondering is anyone could give me some advice on where to start, What to look out for and any general advice on what to do and what not to do?

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

BG Macster (Mark):confused::confused::confused:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
First thing is to ask yourself why you want to change the ROM on the unit. Are you running out of space or are you just the type who likes to have more control?

I didn't root for months as the phon, out the box, does exactly what I want it to do. The only reason I've rooted now is to run the HD ROM but otherwise I'd stay stock.

You're going to get people reply with 'root it now, don't ever think of going stock, bla bla bla' but it's an individual thing, as is the choice of ROM. Read up on the stickied threads in the various forums and use the search button a LOT!
[Desire General] cr1960:
Welcome Mark.

EddyOS has provided you some excellent advice - don't rush into anything.

Mostly people do this as a kind of 'hobby' (including me) and you can end up with some cool stuff on your phone that HTC never intended you to have or have much later on. On the flip side, you can also wreck your phone too through doing the wrong thing or just plain bad luck. HTC can be a bit difficult in fixing stuff under warranty if you've been mucking about with your device, so be warned.

Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing (conjures up interesting images doesn't it?) is contained here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

So read up, lurk about a bit in the forums and if you think you need to - have a go.

Good luck!
[Desire General] BG Macster:
Thanks Guys Some sound advice there i will look around before i do a thing.

Many Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
First thing I would do, though, is check the ROM currently running on your Desire and get the RUU* file in case you ever need to go back to stock after rooting. To check, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the software version.

You can then go to this site and see if the version you're on at present is available. If it is, download it:

I can code a little in PHP and JavaScript, do HTML/CSS and I also have SQL/mySQL experience but until a week ago my Java install was borked so I couldn't install the SDK and still haven't tried. Kind of put off coding development when there is App Inventor because I'll have to tackle Java!
