[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
Why would I compare Android V1 to WP7? Android V1 with WP1, maybe, but if you want to tell me that WP7, after so many editions/versions, is similar to Android V1, that is one huge fail my friend.

On topic.. it's impossible and I agree that the interest to put inferior OS is really low. Those are very few people that would have it installed (if it was possible) and soon after remove it. For those I don't think any dev would go the hard way of porting WP7 to Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Come on, you say that something is impossible on a developers forum? :confused:

There was a short youtube movie a few months back, which showed WP7 booting up on a HD2. So it's not impossible, it's just a question if there are some devs that want to put time in it :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinkySlayer:
And Android v1 was a development of....? Linux. :rolleyes: Hardly a new development, whereas WP7 is new from the ground up.

The point is, some of us would love to experiment with different OSs but don't want to, or can't afford to buy new hardware to do so. Whereas some other people are so blinkered that they think Android is the ultimatimate OS - this is a subjective decision based on personal preference, not an absolute quantifiable fact.

In your opinion. :rolleyes: As I said before, this was a Windows Mobile forum long before it incorporated other OSs and devices, but you wouldn't know that as you've only been on here for a year or so.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
your missing the point totally, im no fanboy trust me, but although android is based on an established os, it it googles first attempt at creating an operating system where as microsoft have been doing this for well over a decade. anyway my point is android is a smartphone os, all microsoft have created is a ms iphone, wp7 is not a smartphone os more like a feature phone os, windows mobile was more like the pc version of windows, where as wp7 is just a microsoft phone, it leaves little for developers to create, as they have to do this and that and plaster ms all over the place just like apple enforce with the iphone.

android has alot more scope for development and alot more freedom for developers to develop there ideas. anyway the bottom line is wp7 is not open source, there will never be any source code available for it, this makes porting it an almost impossible task, i dare say i could count the people on 1 hand that have the ability to do this task :)

ps ive been on here for alot longer than may 10, i changed my tag when i moved to android, my first device was a htc kaiser ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinkySlayer:
Call me Mr Argumentative, but...

Google didn't create an OS, they ported an established one.

Definition of smartphone: "A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities, often with PC-like functionality".

Definition of feature phone: "A mobile phone or mobile (also called cellphone and handphone) is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications (mobile telephone, text messaging or data transmission)"

I think that your understanding of these terms is way off.

You seem to suggest that a smartphone needsto be opensource whereas most smartphone OSs are in fact proprietary, e.g. Blackberry, iOS, WebOS, BadaOS and before Symbian went open source a year ago, closed source would have accounted for about 80% of the market!

Fair comment, but it would still be very cool. :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I think you will find that WP7 is based on Windows CE 6, with some elements from the forthcoming CE 7. So not at all new really considering that CE 6 dates from 2006!

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinkySlayer:
You are correct, it is a CE6/CE7 hybrid, so it has much in common with Android in that they are new platforms based on existing underlying technology. Shud have checked my facts on that one. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
People who say that it isn't possible, check here:

WP7 running on the HD2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832533
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
There's potentially a very big difference!

The existing WM bootloader (IPL/SPL etc) on the HD2 may make it possible to boot WP7 on it. I'm not saying this is definitely the case, but it does seem quite likely to me. In addition, they are talking about this being an early build of WP7 - again, it's quite likely that the HD2 was used as a test platform for WP7.

That's not to say that it would be impossible to get WP7 running on a Desire, but it does given potential reason why it would be a lot harder than on the HD2.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndub71:
@adam, 2 of them were in the 14 day direct replacement period, which one of them was faulty out the box. My experience with vodafone repairs can be not good because the turn round repairs in a day, so in my experience, if a as new replacement is offered, it usually has a better chance of being ok.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tone10:
Hi, all I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile i never really used it as i have a Iphone aswell and found the windows app store to be pointless all though the phone is a great bit of kit technically windows lets it down. so when i found out you could switch to android i was happy and tried it.

I believe i followed all the steps correctly

firstly I flashed my phone successfully using HSPL3_PKG got the "we hacked message" so that was done with no problems.

Second i installed "Energy.Leo.21683.Sense2.5.Cookie.Cookie.2.0.Touch.Of.Glass.Nov.02" rom onto my phone that was done succesfully.

I then downloaded the FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2 build copied it on to my SD card. I then follow the steps given to run ANDROID but all i ever get is 9 lines of text these 9 lines read

haret boot

shutting down hardware

turning off mmu...

in preloader

PSR=60000DF

tags relocated to 0x11808000(size 0x00000f00)

kernel relocated to 0x11808000(size 0x023f12c)

initrd relocated to 0x12200000(size 0x01d0137)

jumping to kernal...

and it doesnt get beyond these lines can any one help me please i would really appreciate it.

Thank you ;)

I like the color a lot more than I thought I would, but I wish I could have gotten red. Red was sold out at every T-Mobile store around me. :smileysad: Build quality is on point and the screen feels like gorilla glass, definitely harder than my G2's screen. It appears to be LCD however, and not SLCD. Doesn't look quite as sharp as my G2.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Bump
[myTouch 4G General] stevew84:
The specs say SLCD. Either way, the plum is sick big time.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Yeah I know. I'm surprised by it though. The G2's screen definitely looks sharper and more saturated, but the myTouch's screen is brighter overall. I still like how it's made of glass though. :D

[HD2 General] madcow17:
Hi all,

I'm running OzDROID 2.0 for my rom, 2.10.50.26 for my radio, and Hyperdroid1.6 for Android. Also TMOUS. I just recently updated my rom from an energy build to this one (wanted a lighter, faster loading WinMo). I've been having a nasty problem with the screen not coming back on when it goes to sleep. The buttons light up when i press them, but the screen stays black. Just today alone, i've had to pull the battery FOUR times. Some days it's ok, some days it's a nightmare. I checked the hyperdroid post for a radio recomendation but couldn't see any. I've tried using SetCPU to adjust clock speeds using profiles for sleeping, etc in hopes that some obscure thing will work. no good. I mean, what if i see bigfoot and want to snap a pic but the screen doesn't turn on?

My only ideas left include:

-Formatting my 16gb SD card. (would like to avoid, but will do if people think it would help. I hate setting stuff back up)

-Getting Hyperdroid1.7. (Havent yet cause 1.6 w/ Cyanogen is pretty F'n awesome, and minus this problem, i LOVE it)

-Updating my radio. (Going to do this anyways as i randomly get the "robot voice" problem. I plan on upgrading to 2.12.50.02_2 unless anyone has better suggestions)

I just wanted to check here to see if anyone has one of those "Ohh, enable <enableable option>, dumbass!" fixes. I'm not that experienced with this phone stuff. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Searching is your friend. App tray->Settings->Display->Auto-Rotate to OFF/Auto brightness to OFF. This has been covered bajillions of times, the HD2 builds of Android have problems with rotation and the light sensor causeing the kernel to wig out and BSOD.
[HD2 General] madcow17:
Sorry for inconveniencing you. If you had any idea how much time i've spent on here trying to figure it out, you'd understand why I decided to just ask this myself. I've had this problem for a month and am finally just now posting. If I found that anywhere I would have gladly done it. The funny thing is - those two ARE disabled, and have been. I dont like auto-rotate and auto-adjust brightness has always been off.

I even took the time to read the "similar posts" that are recommended after typing in the subject.

Since those two are off and my problem persists, I suppose I should format my SD card and try other stuff. So while that problem may have been covered "a bajillion times" it appears your solution is not the miracle cure and is probably a good reason as to why it's been asked "a bajillion times."
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Why is it then when I tell people to search, they instantly peg me as some jackass just trying to pawn them off. This issue, the "black screen of death" or, "my phone wont wake from sleep under android" HAS INDEED been covered many, many times. It's cause by either what I just told you, or the particular kernel that you are running is one that tends to get stuck in the sleep mode and won't let the screen come back on. Seriously 9 times out of 10 the problem is caused by auto rotate or auto brightness.
[HD2 General] hackulous:
Ashasaur is right but also none of the android versions are very stable anyway and eventually you will face this problem on all of them some sooner than others but they will eventually crash in one way or another
[HD2 General] madcow17:
I don't doubt that, but when you reply to someone asking for help with a tone as if they are retarded, don't expect them to buy you flowers. Sorry this has been asked so many times but I feel i put good time into researching this problem and didn't see a problem asking a Question on a QUESTION and answer forum. Like i said, sorry i inconvenienced you and I do appreciate your response, however you did come across as a jackass. I understand you probably deal with a lot of crap as a forum mod, but I didn't post this intending to ruin your day. You can see my post count and gather from it that I don't spend days posting pointless questions. If I came across a solution that worked, this post wouldn't exist.
[HD2 General] boostincx:
Try a different radio(2.11.50.20) seems to be doing good for me, also try copying your files to a better SD card. And there is a tab under Setting>Home>>Items that says Home Timeout: 4 Hrs... try unchecking that box. I am new to the HD2 also and trying to tweak it just right so it stops turning off in the middle of the night and making me late for work cause no alarm lol :P

The official facebook sync or the samsung built in one. because the official sync never worked for me. i tried setting it up, before i got home when i bought the phone. i rooted when i got home :)

thats the thing, you are selecting the "Facebook friends" you want to sync, i want to select the contacts that I want to sync with facebook. and I want it to sync any of my contacts with facebook so only people that are in my contacts are actually synced. I dont want contacts added because they are my friend on facebook. and i dont want to do it manually. i really only want to sync their photo, i couldn't care less about what they have to say on facebook :)
