[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
I have been eying the mytouch4G and the HD7 for a while now and what I really like about the HD7 is that it has Windows Phone 7 (which seems nice and it seems to have nice gaming support)...so I also noticed the MT4G has better specs, so I was wondering if I get the MT4G, I would like to put WP7 on it if possible...anyone think its possible or anyone workin on somethin like that already?...or is it a stupid idea? haha...let me know

-thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
Windows? Oh man, no way! I came from an HD2 and the HD7 looks so ugly. IMO

But the developers here just might do it.

myTouch4G (Glacier)
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Windows mobile is closed sourced like Sense UI, they can't port it due to lack of drivers that would be needed to make the phone work. But that doesn't mean you can't put android on WP7 phones, you can put android on Iphone too.
[myTouch 4G General] lghorn:
Yeah, but he's saying he likes the mT4G specs.

Looking at the HD7 i think it's pretty sweet looking - more true to HTC's "usual"design vs the (previously lame & teeny) myTouch models, and similar to the HD2. I'm just glad the Glacier feels so solid or I'd be looking at the HD2 or keeping the Vibrant.

This isn't a WP7 discussion, but unless MS releases regular & beefy updates you're going to be stuck with the likes of orig Android or iOS 1.0 - it appears to be lacking quite a bit, but if MS keeps on it then it may have a chance. If you're that interested in WP7 then consider the HD7 and put Android on it to boot.
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
I think you are referring to Windows Mobile....the HD7 does not have windows mobile like the HD2.. the HD7 has Windows Phone 7 (MS' new mobile operating system)...It looks pretty nice and smooth and is built upon specific specs which helps control quality and efficiency...also the gaming support its proclaiming is nice also as the MT4G has great specs (except the 'LCD' screen haha), but it does not have the gaming support for that level of hardware (at least not yet)...

S o my concern here would not so much be to put Android on the HD7 (which should be pretty easy considering the HD7 has basically the same hardware as the HD2), but my concern would be more of whether I could (or would be able to) put WP7 on the higher specc'd phone (the MT4G in this case)...but hearing that they use proprietary drivers makes me think it might not be as easy to put WP7 on the MT4G....
[myTouch 4G General] ajftl:
No!!!
[myTouch 4G General] stoneyjonez:
I'm just waiting for him to ask the same question a 3rd time so I can say no once again lol
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
so..

will there be WP7 on the MT4G?

jp, hahah..sorry... I just figure that nothing is impossible, so while some may say no...some may still try but I now understand how difficult it may be and why some may say no...

I know that when WM was MS's mobile OS, I did not see any natively Android phones bothering to boot up WM, but since WP7 is seemingly such an improvement - I was thinking maybe the tables may turn...?

Thanks for all the responses though...interesting stuff..
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
Wp7 an improvement over Android...?

You should probably just return any and alll phones you have for an iPhone with that outlook....
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:
you should probably just return all of your school supplies now and for the rest of your life for a decent education in reading...

the statement says that WP7 is an improvement over WM...

and that since Android was a nice alternative OS for WM, now maybe Android users might think that WP7 might be nice to try out on their phone (or somethin along those lines)...
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
well you will do what you like...

but i cant even imagine perfoming such an atrocity
[myTouch 4G General] erebusting:

[myTouch 4G General] songoku119:
In my case i'm torn because I am a dev. I love android OS and dev on it as a hobby but I am a .net / windows developer as a trade and its really much easier to dev in .net (Visual studio is 10x better than eclipse) than c++ or Java IMO so I too would like to have the ability to stay on my sweet android os, but boot over to dev when i need to. yes yes, i know i can do emus, but its not a substitute for running on actual hardware.
[myTouch 4G General] VolcanicSkunk:
Considering that the myTouch hasn't even been rooted yet I would say putting any other operating system on it would be a helluva feat! :)
[myTouch 4G General] Jwelch30:
This turned into a spiffle... I am almost afraid to jump in, but.... I got to. I think the ability to put WP7 on the MT4G would be friggin sweet. Now, now... I know some of you think "Why would someone want to do that"? Because we do, ok?

Freedom of choice baby! It's a beautiful thing!

Edit***

Just searching around for some Home apps and stumbled across these win 7 launchers.

Windows Phone Android Lite - haven't tried yet...

7 Launcher - Running now.. a little slow but eeehhh.. it's ok.

Android Seven Lite - Not WP7, rather Windows 7 emulator. Looks decent...

If Microsoft went open source, the possibility of WP7 is slim since I assume you'd need to port the drivers to work.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knk1990:
so I know theres already a dead thread on this....but it got no where.

So here goes, my x10(both on 1.6 and 2.1) seems to ALWAYS maintain a data connection whether it be wifi or hsdpa. This occurs with every running app/service disabled background data off etc etc. The only solution ive found is to switch off both wifi and toggle the apn/data connections off. I'd rather not have to do this as realistically I'll end up forgetting to toggle them off.

Shouldn't android simply connect on demand rather than maintaining the connection constantly?

and before anyone says it, it's not the data consumption im frustrated with...it's the unnecessary battery drain.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knk1990:
Bump....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minooch:
Android keeps an active connection for things like:

1) syncing contacts & email

2) the ability to use Gtalk

Have you actually checked how little the active connection uses (not much)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knk1990:
constantly maintaining a data connection does indeed drain the battery in comparison to not keeping one. I assume the 'how little' it drains is based on that half assed percentage indicator android gives us?

If you actually read the first post you'd see that I'm specifically interested in having the connection on demand. If I'm not syncing my email or contacts at the time why on earth should it be maintaining a connection.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adamo86:
i had a hd2 it also had a constant connection.but on wm there is an app which turns off the connection and turns it on When needed.

isnt there an apps like that on android.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
Due to the lack of multi-touch the better browsers out there can be pretty limiting. So I wanted to share two Gems that I've found so far. Perhaps you'll like them too.

For the best

1) xScope (I use xScope GL (was the one from 1.6) and it works just as well in 2.1 without the whole "Trial" nonsense that xScope 6 likes to add to it.

With this you double tap, upon the second tap slide your finger right to zoom in and to the left to zoom out. This works, in my opinion, better than multi-touch zoom :D (no need for two hands~) and works really well.

It also has a quick menu where you can list your favorite sites and go from there. Browser is as fast or faster than those that are out there :). And I mean, really. Who needs gestures? :P

2) Miui browser (Found this via xda's front page. If you don't check that often, do. The xda staff do an amazing job recommending kick-ass apps ^^)

For this one, it has the same type of "home" area like xScope and then some extra treats. The zoom works well too. Double tap to zoom in, double tap to zoom out. I just downloaded it a few days ago but it'll easily become my main browser. I'm still finding out neat things to do with it so it could get even better.

I should mention that miui is in beta as well as when you're adding your favorites sometimes they won't save right away. Exit and restart and they should be there. I've also found I can't remove the Music short-cut but >.>; Should work eventually (in an update?)

But yes, give them a try - you probably won't be disappointed. (Although some of you are married to skyfire - i'd say use it when you know you'll be visiting flash movies sites :p)

For the worst

1) Firefox 4 beta 2 -

Slowed my phone down to TAR. Really really bad. Looks nice though (albeit a bit too much of a clone of dolphin hd) but what it does to Xperia is well... enough to make me uninstall asap.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kylec:
thank you for the recommendations. i just tried xscope and i have to say, im impressed haha. i tried dolphin browser and hated it. there was just too much going on. i love the simplicity of xscope and the zoom is rather intuitive

Hi,

Could anyone please help unbrick myphone !

I have a problem downgrading from 2.2 to 2.1 using the tool "Downgrade Utility" 2.3b on a European HTC Desire phone (unlocked).

Here is exactly what I did so far :

* Install HTC Sync -> "_HTC Legend_HTCSync.exe"

* Settings / Applications / Development / Enable USB debugging on phone

* Settings / Connection to PC / Default connection type : Charge only

* Settings / Connection to PC / Ask me : Disable

o Downloaded downgrade 2.3b

o Execute : win-down.bat

+ It says it will take a minute, but 10 minutes is more realistic.

# Select FASTBOOT on phone. The Phone loads PB99IMG.ZIP -> This is the 2.1 f/w with HBOOT 0.83

# Do you want to start update : Press volume up

# HBOOT 0.83 installed

# PB99DIAG.zip

# No image!

# PB99DIAG.nbh

# No image!

# Loading PB99IMG.ZIP

* Everything else updates ok *except* Radio_V2 - Fail-PU

* Partition update fail!

* Update fail!

* Do you want to reboot the device, volume up = yes

* Phone stays on the HTC logo

* Disconnect USB cable, pull out battery for 2 minutes and power on phone.

* I will hear 7/8 vibrates

* Phone stays with the HTC logo and does nothing.

When I power on the phone, there is one long vibrate and 7 shorter vibrates.

I don't know what else to try right now... I have gone back into the HBOOT and re-started the update which fails again on the Radio_V2 section.

How can I escape this endless cycle to fix it.

This worked once previously for me, and I went from 2.2 to 2.1 which worked flawlessly. For various reasons I decided to go back to 2.2, so this is the 2nd time that I would like to downgrade to 2.1 so that I can ultimately root it.

The phone has never been rooted successfully.

Note : I think I should of posted to "Desire General", my apology's.

By placing the SD card in a friends phone, we removed PB99IMG.zip and replaced this with a valid RUU and booted up using the new RUU, which fixed it.

However after running unrevoked 3.2.1 several times on the MAC, we could not root the phone.

It stalled on the "waiting for bootloader" message. I don't understand why some people have immediate success with unrevoked and others

have no luck whatsoever. Any suggestions, is there another method to root 2.2 ?

Previously my Xperia used to turn in by itself while charging i figured it out as an Intelligent Charging Circuit system,

then i flashed the UK firmware provided here through Bolb_fs then my phone stopped turning on while charging, even after 2.1 it is not resolved.

although it stops charging when its powered on and fully charged but it dont when its off it neither stops charging nor turns on by itself, is it a problem if it is how can i resolve it.

Thanks

The Omnia 7 uses the same battery as the Omnia HD (i8910)

So you can get replacement ones quite cheaply on ebay.

what I really want is a battery charger case...

you get them in Korea for other phone models but have yet to see any here at all.

basically it's a small case to carry your battery in, but it has a little port so you can charge your spare battery whenever.

it means you don't have to wait around and you always have a spare charged battery at hand.

this one is for the galaxy s

[Omnia 7 Accessories] d.a.v.o.r:
i heard a lot of good thing about omnia 7 battery before buying it, but i am somewhat disappointed right now. it does not last me 8-20. God forbid if i played anything on the loudspeaker, when i'm say, camping.

i really hope the next mayor breakthrough in tech is in this area, instead of unnecessary quad-cores and whatnot.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] BiG K:
I fully agree, I wish there was more impovement made in the battery field! I don't think there is a need to have processors any faster than 1Ghz. It's simply a marketing tool to get all the fools thinking that they have a better phone because it has a dual core processor etc. Now on a desktop computer where you will REALLY multitask (watch a video whilst photoediting, surfing the web and chatting on MSN) multi-core processors make sense. On a phone, there can only be one application in the foreground at any one time.

Anyway, I can confirm with the OP that the Omnia HD battery does work. I am using one right now!

Battery life for me is somewhat amazing! I went to a wedding where I must have played games for atleast 2-3 HOURS, then surfed the web somewhat, sent plenty of txt messages and a few phone calls. Lasted the full day, got home, went to bed, started surfing the web and the battery refused to die!

Whereas on other days, the battery tends to die quicker :S It's hit or miss sometimes.

Question about the Mugen Batteries

Whew, first post! Anyhow, I have seen the Mugen batteries listed previously for other phones I have used. I've always been curious, but never brave enough to pull the trigger on one. Is anyone aware of any battery draw-down tests involving their products? I'd be curious if someone were to use something WP Bench's battery drain test to get a valid comparison of the standard 1500mah to the extended 1800mah cell.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] BakedGoodsX:
After about a month's use I can safely say my phone has yet to fully drain.

I do charge every night, and often the charge floats around 50% after a full day's use. I surf quite a bit (on wifi), play some games, etc. I admit though, that since getting Mango my Omnia doesn't grab 3G as often as it used to (it's usually on EDGE). This is a known issue with Mango, so I'm sure I'd see heavier drain if I was on 3G all the time.

Since I bought the Mugen day one, I can't really compare it to the stock battery. I too, would be curious about WP Bench drain tests. If I have some time where I don't need my phone, I'll try it out.

mugenpower 1800mAh drain test

I compared the 1800mAh mugen battery with a stock (about 8 months old).

First you have to go through several discharge/recharge cycles as they recommend.

using WP7 Bench Battery test :

stock lasted 3:48.49 (225mins)

mugen lasted 4:35.52 (275mins).

So an improvement of 22%.. which is what you would expect if the battery really had 20% more capacity as advertised.

at USD$46 these are not cheap, but the phone now lasts a complete day with my typical use, and it didn't use to - so to me it's worth it.

BTW the delivery from the official site was free and quick (under a week)
