Some technical info...

Hello!

There is a way to detect if You are using tethering. Basically - tethering is routing - adding one more point in communications. So - if You just use Your phone, packets are addressed from/to Your phone. But if You are tethering - packets are addressed to device behind phone (using phone as gateway, basically router with NAT).

So - they may check:

ARP tables

TTLs

OS specific packets/DNS requests/used IP's (Why would Your phone check for MS updates? :D)

other things...

I'm not sure which phone to get. I have the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate right now which is just like the focus and i like the captivate (coming from the iPhone 4). I'm just not crazy about android and I have always been a lover of windows mobile. The HD2 is one of my favorite phones out and that's basically the HD7. So which one would you go for. My contract is up with at&t on November 9th so I'm not sure if i should stay and go with the focus or switch to t-mobile and get the HD7. What it really comes down to is The super amoled screen which I love vs the 4.3" screen which I love.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tissot201:
I would go with Dell Venue. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryotgz:
I'm going with the Focus myself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manlisten:
Haha I'm in the exact same spot. I have a Captivate but am considering going over to WP7. Stuck between the Focus and HD7. :p

From a practical standpoint I'm leaning more towards the Focus simply because it has an accessible Micro SD slot and of course the superior screen quality. But I love the HD7's form factor and screen size.

Need to see the HD7 in person to determine if I'm willing to take the step back in screen quality. That's really the deciding factor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] diablos991:
I just pre-ordered the HD7. Don't trust engadget's review of the screen. Every other video of the phone shows it is much more vibrant and the blacks are a lot deeper. Probably because every time engadget showed it was at an angle, when realistically the phone will only be viewed directly.

EDIT: I'm coming from an amoled equipped Nexus One.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
As am I. I was originally going to go with HD7/Venue but then decided Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tsalate:
I have to go with the HD7. I have been a fan if HTC for years. At&t 8125, T-Mobile Mda, wing, G1, touch pro 2, HD2, It's only right for my to go back bow that they have another top notch device. I love my vibrant the screen is amazing but

4.3 inches for movies is just better seeing that everything thing is close to being the same. I can live with 16gigs I have 32 right now and have used only 10
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
I'd say the Focus because the size is perfect, has a super AMOLED, and is said to have a slightly more responsive screen.

I'm personally hoping the Dell Venue Pro eventually hits Verizon since T-Mobile is just a launch partner.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halabeaster54:
I know its so hard to make a decision. I love my super amoled but the hd2 has the same screen as the hd7 so if you want you can make your comparison from there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] diablos991:
Put the HD2 and the HD7 next to each other and you will see that the HD7 is clearly a better screen. The screen is more comparible to the evo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ant1pathy:
Windows Phone 7 is a complete programming break from all earlier incarnations. It would stand to reason that some features wouldn't be implemented in the first pass. Windows Mobile was losing market share at an astonishing rate, and one of the bigger reasons was the lack of a cohesive, polished, smoother user experience. Despite the ability to tether and cut/paste. The marketplace has obviously spoken, and said that user experience is far more important that feature set. Why would a for profit company emphasize the exact ideology that resulted in nothing but eroding market share, when other companies took the exact opposite approach with mind blowing success?
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoncell:
Focus.

Better screen. Much better camera. Expandable memory.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceo4eva:
I wouldn't jump on the hd7 just yet. I'm using the hd2 because my iphone4 got stolen and im tired of paying full price for iphones, I would stick with ur iPhone get it unlocked for t-mobile, and use it until something goes wrong, or sell it on ebay for some ridiculous price and get yourself covered for the hd7
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:
im on the same boat... i have an evo and need to dump sprint since its signal absolutely blows at home...

originally i want to get me an hd7, but im getting a bit worried after reading some initial reviews (poor build quality, sub par camera) ill hold off on judgement on the screen till i see it personally since i have a newer build evo (hw3) and the screen looks fantastic compared to the hd2 and early evo's (hw1-2), so if the hd7 uses the same screen then it will pass...

on the other hand there is the samsung focus with the super amoled screen, vastly superior battery life reported by reviews, and superior camera, my concerns with this one is the lack of camera flash, plasticky build, and at&t's tiered data plans (has anyone had issues with this since it was applied?)

bottom line...

HD7:

+ screen size, dual flash, kickstand (love it), more developer attention, unlimited data (tethering?)

- battery capacity, average camera, average build, inferior contrast

Samsung Focus:

+ super amoled screen, camera quality, slimmer, battery life

- cheap feel, no camera flash, limited data

opinions? ? ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
For the negatives: I've heard mixed reviews on the 'cheap feel,' some say it's not that bad, and even feels pretty good. There is an LED flash on the back, and I still have an unlimited plan.

For the positives: You didn't mention the expandable storage that the focus has, which for me is a huge plus. I've also seen a video with a Samsung exec jabbing his pen into the screen showing that it wont scratch (gorilla glass or something similar?).

Lastly, I'm not sure the battery life is a plus (maybe it is compared to the HTC?), as several sites list it as only average or even below average.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:
thanx for the clarification :-) i must have missed the flash on the back

battery life on super amoled is awesome compared to lcd's, that is till you go to an app that has a white background (email, web, facebook, twitter) so i guess thats something i have to keep in mind...

if i could somehow get unlimited data it would be a wrap
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio:
Just read through the thread and having owned a HD7 for a week now i'll give you some pointers:

Pro's

- The Screen is superb. It's huge, bright (brightness on high, not auto) and colours are vibrant. I've had the desire with it's AMOLED screen and can say the difference is minimal, plus when you've got them next to each other the HD7's sheer screen size outways the miniscule (even unnoticable) difference in quality. It is not the same screen as used in the HD2.

- The Build quality is brilliant. No creaks or bends, and the kickstand is firm and sturdy.

- The screen is the most responsive i've ever used. It's fantastic and imo (dare i say it?) better than that apple one. It responds instantly to your touch and scrolling through menus/webpages/etc is flawless. The pinch to zoom is incredibly impressive compared to others too.

- The camera is brilliant. It's crisp, the LED's are rediculously bright, and it takes pictures really quickly. I've been taking about 5 or 6 pictures per 10 seconds which is good if you're like me and take loads then pick the best one.

Cons

- The Battery life on my particular HD7 is dreadful, i get a day and a half at the most with what I would say is average usage. I have to charge it every night which i'm not too fussed about but if that bothers otehrs it's definately something to consider.

- The autofocus on the camera during video recording can be hit and miss. Sometimes it out-focuses itself, but if you hold it for a second or 2 it sorts itself out, so not a problem for me really.

*EDIT* After a further 2 weeks i can confirm Battery life has stabalised and after a "full day" (7am till 11pm) of use i still have half a battery left.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheGTeam:
Can the HD7 take an SD card as currently looking at various win 7 devices
[Windows Phone 7 General] Smokexz:
Here is the deal guys, Windows Phone 7 was never supposed to have SD card support, I think 16 gigs is more than enough, but anyways. Every time you change the Omni in the focus, you have to reformat I believe your device, so keep that in my mind.

Why MS didn't put SD support is beyond me, but what Samsung did is just use that as expendable memory, it sort of creates 1 partition, if I am understanding it correctly
[Windows Phone 7 General] xhamoodx:
there is a long thread in the HD7 section about that
[Windows Phone 7 General] emuneee:
Focus, once you go with a super amoled there is absolutely no going back to LCD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MHC48:
Focus supposedly has a better camera in addition to accessible SD card, but also recent tests show about the worst battery life of all the WP7 phones. Also read that text is worse on Super AMOLED because the Pentil subpixel layout makes text look jagged compared to LCD. Text on white backround (web browsing, document viewing) consumes 330% more power than LCD.

Since I'm a big fan of e-books and Amazon just announced a Kindle App for WP7 i may go for the bigger screen HTC
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
I would get the Focus if I were on AT&T, the only issue I have with it is the 256mb RAM instead of the 512, though I really do like the 4.3" screen of the HD7. But as I am on Verizon, I have to wait until sometime next year anyway, hiopefully the Verizon Samsung offering will have a Super AMOLED and 512mb RAM with the expandable memory :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halabeaster54:
i just went from a galaxy s captivate to an iphone 4 and im fine with it yea i miss the blacks and vibrant colors but really on a regular basis your more then fine with a lcd
[Galaxy S I9000 General] UnRelevant:
Using JPK firmware on the Galaxy, and although its generally been great; I just found out that it doesn't seem to send email.. I receive fine, calendar events are ticking over nicely, everything pretty much is acceptable.. but I can't send email no matter what I do through the exchange activesync.

Have considered changing to K9 to see if this will work better but it seems that doesn't like our hosted exchange environment much :(..

Before anyone jumps, I did search on this using a few variations with no results - stand to be corrected if someone already asked :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] memphisraynz:
For starters this is Development, this belongs in general.

I have done a lot of search and there is issues with 2.2 and some Exchange servers. I have not found the cause and still looking as I cannot connect to mine at all.

Other people have had success with 3rd party apps. I think Touchdown works well, Though I think the app is just plain ugly.

the solution is in this link:

download the samsung applications that solve the problem.

Im using Doc's JPM/JP6 v5.1 ROM and I've experienced a bug on the gallery app ( twice ) that my images automatically double, but the actual files on the SD is correct, the only fix I found for this was to delete and recopy the files, anyone else had this bug before?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongalong:
Is flashing the latest Gapps with roms still necessary or can we just install the apps from market now?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rori~:
At least you need a market app already on your phone.

I think all other ones you can install....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
GApps package includes more than just the Google Apps... there are some Google Sync and Backup apps as well... but you could trim down the package to include only those files and remove the actually apps like Gmail...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorton:
How can I do it ?

Remove apk's from zip?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxanax:
Yeah you gotta install gapps or you won't get access to the market
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
You need some parts of the GApps part... but you can get rid of all the application like FB, Twitter, GMail, Youtube which are now available via the market. If you want to trim down the package... remove all "now-in-the-market" apps from the zip file and resign it and flash it (search for resigning instructions). If you use clockwork recovery, you can turn off signature checks and leave the zip unsigned and flash it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
You should always update to the latest gapps when available. If you don't, and google releases an update to a google app, it will be installed in the nexus one's pathetic internal storage area. (Yes you can then move it manually using rootexplorer to system data)

eugene,

battery history (in the market by marco introini) is reporting 97.2% running since installing R1 kern 31. has been close to 100% on all your froyo roms. not info on what is running but this is probably related to poor battery life. might want to check into it. i just flashed R1 with the 31 kern and was hoping to see this change. will recondition tonight and report back if batt life is improved. with other roms by you and others after long periods of idle running % reported was very low... wonder if froyo is going to read high no matter what

I honestly don't know what it is in the macnut update, but I've been getting the same issue, except it doesn't go past the i-9000 screen even with R1. I boot into clockwork, wipe everything I possibly can and still nothing. On the original macnut i went back to recovery wiped/factory reset and it started the nexus boot but got stuck. Now doesn't boot past i-9000. Ive flashed every single one of eugene's froyo since the key mapping issue, and this is the first time this happens. I flash JPM R1 and it boots just fine..

I tried to search, but not getting a straight answer on this. I want to upgrade my modem to JI6 on THIS rom, is it possible to just use the CWM zip I got from TeamWhiskey's website?

I heard conflicting reasons that this might not work without Eugene's JI6? If that is the case, I'll go searching for it....

BTW, Macnut_R1 did not see my sim card or give me cell reception at first, it would only stay in airplane mode (greyed out in the power button menu even), so I cleared out all caches again and re-flashed....that did the trick.

Great stuff Eugene!
