[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
Also going back to what you (crow26) said in the first post, here is how I see it (in bold):

Glanceable information? A big lie. Not a big lie. Some live tiles show updates on homescreen so no need to launch apps so therefore information is glanceable. Also as soon as you turn on the phone, the lockscreen shows you INFORMATION such as signal strength, battery status, time, date, notifications and appointments. Last time I checked a dictionary I think that covers the word 'information'. Turn on the phone and 'glance information'.

No jumping in and out of apps? A big lie. Not true for the most. Back button takes you to previous app without the need to exit an app to the start screen and then launch a new app.

Less stop and stare? A big lie. Any phone requires you to stop and stare if you want to read stuff. Maybe an exageration from MS.

More glance and go? A big lie. Already explained above esecially in lockscreen

Integration? A big lie. Not a lie. What about total facebook and windows live integration with People hub and photos hub? You couldn't ask for more. Also Bing integration.

WP7 is different? A big lie. Not a lie. Hello! I don't think any smart phone currently has a UI like WP7. It is also different not just in style but in use of notifications for a start.

WP7 changes the way people use smartphones? A big lie. If it means less launching of apps because of the integration of information all under one category (eg People) then yes using it differently is correct. Also, on all other OSs to use the camera you have to turn on the phone, unlock it and launch the camera app once found/navigated to. In WP7 you just hold down the camera button while phone is STILL OFF and camera is launched. That is certainly a new way of USING a smartphone.

Here's the truth: Nothing in WP7 is new, nothing is different. Nothing is different? So the UI is the same as Android, Palm and IOS? Ability to use camera instantly when phone is off is not different?

You will still jump in and out of apps. As do all the other OSs but in WP7 you can still cycle through your recently launched apps with the back key without jumping out and in again provided you know how to do it correctly.

You will still not be able to see information "at a glance". Ok you win this one. True. However, if you actually turn ON the phone THEN you can see information at a glance ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
But with the calendar tile, it shows your next appointment so you do not need to click on it to read when your next appointment is due. Likewise if you pin a favourite to your start screen, it will show their status update so you do not need to tap it to launch the contact to read their update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
I'm glad someone actually took the time to read before posting. Thanks.

Emphasis added. How many live tiles do show information? The calendar and people you add - that's it. The other tiles only show numbers. The iPhone can do that as well.

There will be hardly any third party developers who create live tiles. The result will be a grid of static tiles (=huge icons), just like the iPhone homescreen.

Sorry, but that's nothing. Hardly better than iOS and far, far away from Android and its widgets.

The back button only takes you to the previous app. For everything else you need to go back to the start screen, just like with an iPhone.

That's "jumping in and out of apps" - nothing else.

Call it an exaggeration, I call it a lie. Whatever - we both know it's not true.

Facebook is the only service on the web, right? There are no other services that could be integrated, right? Wrong.

Android handles notifications much better.

Android can do that as well. You don't have to unlock it, you can go directly to the camera.

So yeah, nothing is different, nothing is new.

It's all been done before. WP7 brings nothing new to the table.

That was the whole point of my post. The truth is, you will NOT launch less apps, because the integration of information doesn't work the way it should.

You know what's much easier than cycling through the apps using the back button? Just launching the quick app switcher. Android has it, iOS has it, webOS has it, Symbian has it...

(Android even has a back button AND a quick app switcher)

No, you can't. You will see static tiles, hardly different from the static grid of icons in iOS.

As long as developers can't use live tiles (because they would have to pay for servers, store your login data etc.) the WP7 start screen will be just a grid of icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i thought the reason for push was to 'get it now, RIGHT NOW', and is detrimental to battery life.

the iphone still doesn't do a fine job of multitasking. i've used those, and they aren't very good at it. soooo, the multi-tasking point is moot, for ios.

on android, multitasking is bitter sweet. why ? because uploading to Youtube, uploading to a personal sftp, while streaming pandora over bluetooth to the car's radio.... seems effortless. -and- kills the battery in short order. if you get used to using a real multi-tasking operating system, it spoils you, and you soon realize just how inadequate the stock battery is.

step in with a chinese made 3x battery, or better yet two in the glove box and one in the phone... and you've got unlimited (almost) play capability.

my expereinces anyway : )
[Windows Phone 7 General] pkchips:
My theory:

Microsoft knows it will never achieve domination of the mobile phone market. So, in order to maximise profits, they want to make piracy as difficult as possible so that the (small number of) people who buy WP7 phones will be forced to pay up for all desired services.

Thus, MS has massively locked down WP7 at the expense of the customer experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Firstly, to be fair...I can tell you honestly I didn't read the article posted by OP...but before that, I think it is better to know how you all define the 'Live' of LIVE tiles...

First,is it a Live updates tiles with instant push notification on the tiles

or second, Live is just something lively,keep changing tiles from the data in your phone....

I think what you all argue is this two kinds of LIVE,or maybe more...correct me if I am wrong...

Furthermore,OP said android handles notification better. From I experience here, I would like to ask OP to do 1 experiment...install both handcent and chomp sms...set either one to default....and try to send a sms from another device...I bet you will get 3 notifications about the new sms...is it good?

Anyway,please...no harrassment...choose the OS you like the most, and not to harrass...OP think it this way, even the live tiles or whatever you said is true and WP is a big lie....ok,thats fine, but people still happy and can't wait to have a touch on WP7,maybe get 1 or maybe they don't really care about the big lies...How about the functions,Zune,Xbox live, UI(when entering and exiting app),Microsoft outlook,office&etc...this is what most people care about...but thats truth that people can't wait to give it a touch...

If you are not happy with WP 7, think it this way Android is the best(maybe just for you), everyone has their own choice(maybe you can think that they prefer lie by MS)...

Cheers,no more harrassment mate...
[Windows Phone 7 General] bharris25:
I used Windows mobile for a couple years with my diamond and I felt like ms took a step back with wp7. Personally I love my Evo theses days and I haven't even rooted yet. With windows mobile I flashed a custom Rom right away but I really don't feel the need to with my Evo. The free WiFi tether would be the main reason really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Wouldn't it make sense for you to disable the other two SMS apps???
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
It just can't fully kill the apps,sometimes the notification sounds come together and both notifications on the status bar...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Sure you can disable anything in Android. The problem is, instructions are mostly never given.

Go into each apps settings that you don't want a notification from and disable retrieval and all notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i am so agree with you... i cant get it why ppl like to ***** about things... if WP7 is not good then go and use whatever is better for them...

Only for 2.2+.

Isn't fragmentation a *****?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
It is funny itsn't it? I mean... I have no intention to go to an iphone forum or an Android forum and just slate their phone/OS and bash it. I just don't. iPhone is a good phone but not for me. I don't need to go onto their forums and tell them what I think of their phone. Likewise I like Android but I like WP7 too! No need for me to bash down Android either.

Why do some people feel the need to come onto a forum of another OS and 'have a go'? If they don't like the phone/OS then stay away and stick to your own forums. As I do. Simple really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Do you even know what fragmentation is?

Anyone can provide their own servers for push notifications if they want to on any level of android 1.5.

Google is providing a FREE service that people can choose to use after 2.2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
Here Here. Very true
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Deploying ur iwn push server is expensive. A standars method is needed I.e. ms or apple, or c2dm, but fragmented platfoems have a way of preventing half their users from benefitting.

Yes, I know what fragmentation is. Apparently you don't...
[Windows Phone 7 General] luv2increase:
That is why you only turn GPS on when you truly need it. Also, that is why it is a good idea to use the true firewall Droid Wall to block any app that doesn't need internet access to function to not have access.

There is a notepad app on the app market which requires internet access and access to messages etc. Crazy. Don't download that type of nonsense.

The bottom line is that it is up to the consumer to be proactive. All operating systems companies like MS, Apple and Google earn revenue by selling private data to third parties. Protect urself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iridium21:
One of WP7's main selling points, if not THE main selling point was the supposed 'glance-ability' of the Live Tiles. As it seems to be nearly impossible for 3rd party developers to make use of these without a large outlay, the whole point of WP7 seems to be gone :( Like someone before has said, the WP7 mainscreen is going to end up like a list of app icons just like iOS.

It's a real shame that Microsoft went down this route as it will put a lot of people off, myself included :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] blaiz123:
Who does this Crow guy think he is? He stated that Apple gave him information that no one else knows about and then he starts babbling on like a nitwit about how much WP7 sucks and how much better Android is.

I seriously doubt that Apple would provide any type of confidential information to a person with the maturity level of a toddler...

I'm having some trouble with my Browser force closing when I press the back button. It seems to happen mostly when the browser is actively loading a page, but not exclusively. I can replicate the error pretty consistently by loading several pages then pressing the back button in the midst of a load.

I've looked at the logcat log and... honestly don't know what I'm looking for as there's nothing in particular that stands out.

What I've tried so far:

Clearing Dalvik Cache - both from within Android through RootExplorer as well as through recovery

Reflashing Fresh's Rom

Deleting /data/data/com.android.browser

Deleting Cache / Data from App Management for the Browser

I just replicated the error and grabbed the log (attached) - any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions would be very much appreciated

Hey fellow evo enthusiasts!

I've been searching and searching for an answer (I'm sure it's out there, I just haven't found it) to my Q, so hopefully you can help me.

I'm interested in personalizing Sense. I like using widgets, and I like the idea of not using Launcher Pro (I don't know why, I just want to use sense)....

I REALLY like the custom tool bars of Launcher Pro, and I want to incorporate those types of tool bars on Sense (not sure if I'm using the right word - I'm interested in using a custom bar on the bottom of the phone where you can link to your actual phone, text messaging, apps, web, etc).

Can anyone walk me through how to do this?

I'm also interested in creating custom screens with the other 7 options we all have w/ Sense.

All of this seems harder than it should be - I am rooted, currently running Warm 2.2 (release 2). Any help is appreciated - and if you say I gotta use launcher pro, I guess I do.

Thanks in advance!!

I am currently running CM6 and wanted some better battery life.

I decided to play around with switching kernels and decided to apply Kmobs 950mV kernel via ROM Manager and use setCPU to create battery profile suggestion listed on the forum.

This has greatly increased my battery life. I can now go from about 8am to 1am with normal use and still have ~30% battery left.

I have noticed a lot of threads about pershoots overclocked and undervolted kernel and I wanted to see if anyone has experience between the two (Kmobs and pershoots)

I am not sure about the specifics of Kmobs, is it OVcd or just UVd or both like pershoots?

Firstly, each to there own, but I'm not a fan of the MIUI rom, I've tried a few builds but its just too much like an iphone layout for me.

However there was one part I really liked & that was the power control functions in the pull down status bar: Wi-Fi, 3G, Vibrate, Silent, Bluetooth etc. like you would get on a widget.

Having them on the status bar was a great idea.

I know certain roms like espresso have it on, but was wondering if anyone knew of an app that can do the same?

I have so far found apps in the market that can do calendar or Wi-Fi, but nothing that can do everything.

Any ideas?
