[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I LOVE IT. its that simple. There is a few very tiny glitches but i had that with android blackberry and sare i say it ios as well. I do have a couple of poiunts for a few people that moan about some missing features though.

Mass storage - why oh why would you want to use your phone for this i don't get it? the memory inside is for the phone not your pc. Get a memory stick they cost about £20 and will sit on your keyring they are faster and easier to use.

Flash - this is coming very soon adobe and Microsoft have confirmed this.

Copy paste - as above (i suspect the January update for both though flash may come as its own download)

Multitasking - just a battery drain and all the main features do this anyway, the phone is quick at swapping between apps. I don't get why you would want to multi-task beyond what it already does if anyone can give me a good example i will retract that but so far its just "cos we like it that we can" i personally prefer a battery that lasts unlike the desire.

removable storage - once again why would you want this? I have an idea don't buy a load of small cards just get one good one. You can argue that the on board amounts given at launch are poor (i to stated this) BUT, America will get the focus this can be upgraded so to can the dell. The HD7 can be also if you don't mind getting under the back cover. I suspect as with the hd7 we will find others. So there are options even for the most data intensive. Your phone is not a memory stick people.

I personally think wp7 has it right esp for a brand new os that has not even had, dare i call the January update this, service pack 1. I don't like to say i will never touch things again because the world is constantly changing but i will say for now i am so glad i sold my desire and got a hd7 it beats anything else hands down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I just realized i was so busy fending the so called downsides i forgot to look at why wp7 is the best.

Xbox live - this is so good it makes my nuts tingle though it was a lil slow at first once it has had chance to sync everything up it is amazing. I can see all my avatar stuff in 3d i can see my mates avatars in 3d i can compare gamer scores, i can earn achievements on games i can send messages to my live friends and see what they are doing. Basically all the same stuff i can do on my xbox but on a phone. Plus they will soon have multilayer games not just turn by turn and intergration into actual xbox games.

Zune - By far and away the best music/media experience you can get. Makes iphone look old and rubbish. I have loved Zune since i got my zune hd imported last year. Zune software is easier to use then itunes. It is far better at managing your media and is so good at getting the track data. Plus unlike itunes if it cant find it automatically you can just find it yourself easy as and make sure all the tracks have the right names with a no fuss at all. Put it this way my itunes on my mac has about 80% of the right art my zune has 100% (and for about 8 months i had to use the mac as my main pc due to frying my motherboard so it is nothing to do with me not careing about getting it sorted).

Hubs/live tile - just genius i hardly use my facebook app as i don't need to my friends are asy to contact and find and my pictures are all in one place. Yeah you can collect data together on android but until you have used a wp7, and i do say if your unsure go to the store and play, its hard to explain why its so much better but it just is. updates are right there on the home screen and even the lock screen.

Speed/transactions - This is a zippy os everything is smooth and looks sexy, this isnt a big point for many people i know but, there is no better feeling then when showing someone an email or a text or anything on your phone and it flys there but at the same time looks like something from minority report.
[Windows Phone 7 General] robart76:
The phone is fantastic. The system is very smooth! The zune feature wit zune pass is great. One thing though, notification sounds for txt and email are very, very quiet (HD7). I can hardly hear them
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
have you updated the audio controller from htc as it may be coincidence but i thought it was quieter before i did that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emuneee:
I disagree. There are cases where multitasking would help, one area would be instant messaging. Also, I have looked at most reviews out there and battery life is on par with similarly specced Android devices. For example, the HD7 vs. EVO/Desire HD. Even my developer WP7 devices battery lasts around the same time as my Captivate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rexian:
There is no denying the fact that multitasking would help in many cases. I am glad that MS never said they wouldn't allow 3rd party aps to multitask. I am sure it's already in development... may be being tested as we speak ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] enjoythemusic:
Went from HTC to Samsung Focus, so far i do love the smoothness and speed. Active tiles are a huge plus and can see where this can be beneficial in various ways. Only 'major' things needed is tethering or turning the phone into a WiFi Hotspot (and would like bluetooth rSAP support).
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
You're wrong.

With Push Messaging, you get you IMs without the app even running. Multitasking IM applications is a huge waste of battery.

Do you even have a clue what you're talking about?

Also, the HD7 has a weak battery in it. It's around 1230 mAh, IIRC. Most decent phones have 1500 mAh batteries in them. Check that before you make a comparison. Also, use patterns on the two phones may not be identical. It's almost impossible to conduct a decent test for battery life outside of a controlled environment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrmomoman:
I really like the HD7 the more i use it the less I want to mod it. It just works and works well. I still like my EVO and that's in part to some apps I like. Provide those apps and game over. The battery life had been great for me. I am a medium to heavy user and it is outlasting my EVO with myns ROM and the battery tweaks.

Also the notification sounds are loud. Not sure what some people are talking about.

will it be for everyone? No, but do yourself a favor.and at least try it. Its.worth a look.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raupe:
... ok guys here are some facts i faced as I compared wp7 to it's competitors

+ very clean looking ui - fast and responsible

(the tile system leads to two opinions: you love it or you will hate it - I think there will be not much between)

- tile system rows are not configureable (would be nice to have a set more than 2 rows - e.g. for smartphone with bigger displays)

+ minimum system specs lead to very stable smartphones - at least of every manufacturer

- officialy storage not expandable on first devices (... but first tutorials how you can achive that even are posted within the past days)

- storage not accessable without zune software - means you can't use the device for one time connects to transfer files to customers or friends without installin some extra software ...

- install of custom SSL certificates possibible only via prepared website (more info) or separeate unsecured mail account

- no internet teethering (even not via usb connect - and don't ask for bluetooth or WiFi)

- no copy/paste between applications

... and the last point has shocked me really!:

- no ActiveSync synchronisation for tasks between exchange and wp7!!!

even Apple and Samsung/Bada (and Android with additional software) got that!

... as you can read my conclusion is not that positive as from the voices before.

MS has a huge bunch of homework to do.

Dude... I don't want to be insulting... but mannnnn, you are sooooo off the beaten path of technology that it is a shame... which means you can't be a techie... or someone in IT....

I am in IT... I need mass storage. When I working on a friend or family members PC, I can't tell you HOW many times I have had to download drivers or A/V apps to my phone's memory card, from the NET because that particular person's internet did not work or would not allow him to down load the files needed...

Multi-tasking and Copy and paste go hand in had... I guess I am the only one, who has had to copy and paste a number from my contacts list, into an SMS session or e-mail or copy and paste and address or picture, or file from the memory card to somewhere else... Or how about those times you are on the phone... and you just want to take down a number or a note WHILE you are on the phone... In many cases, I am playing a game, and have to take a call... etc. etc... I can go on and on.....

Maybe for the device you pruchased but that is not true for all devices.. i have samsung just purchased it today and added an extra 32 gb to my orignal 8gb and now i have 40..
[Windows Phone 7 General] raupe:
Hey rruffmann,

thanks for your posting! What Samsung device have you purchased?

The OMNIA 7 should have no accessable sdcard slot.

Greetings

[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
it is the Samsung Focus on AT&T, officially from MS SD cards are not supported, however some manufacturers do, so if there is a problem you can't go to MS with it, you would have to go to Samsung.

[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
You're kidding, aren't you?

For easy transfer of files Phone <-> PC!!!

Doc, movie, pic, music.

It means I HAVE to travel with my phone AND my PC to send a photo or whatever, because nobody can send anything to me besides email (!)

Is it THAT hard to get it?!

Lol..! Sad.

Mate, I write a long email and somebody calls, and while we talk I want to take a OneNote to note something.

Bump! Impossible. I cannot note when I talk, and even worse - I stop my conversation and my email is gone.

Eeeerm..... To remove the storage and put another one?

WHY to insert a memory card when you cannot take it away?!

If you're happy with the device, please be.

But don't try to justify clear disadvantages because you don't imagine how people use their devices.

I think your only option is to send it back to Samsung. The actual file that contains the imei is protected by a md5 hash from what i have read and cannot be edited or reproduced.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kabooot:
ohh no :(

ok, if i send it back how much it would cost by american dollars, im from kuwait I had bought my phone from ebay sowhat can I do to send my phone to the Samsung Service Shop?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Donald Nice:
And you are sure, that you dont have backup files in your efs-folder? Have a second look into the efs-folder and chere if there are .bak files. If there are two .bak files you may restore you imei from these files if these arent backups from the corrupted files!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kabooot:
Sorry I can't till you now because my phone is in a repair shop if i get it back i will check if i have a back up.

but if i dont have a back up is there any way to get my nv_data back from my imei num? because i see that (qbanin) can get the nv_data from imei but not in the galaxy s

in the future could any one solve this problem?

Try using an alternate market such as AppBrain(www.appbrain.com) or Applanet (www.applanet.net) (Slightly Illegal)

I can only find 'MarketUpdater.apk' in the System Apps, not sure if thats the right thing, i can upload it if you want. (You will also need Google Talk for the market to work)

Edit: The Market apps i have are from 2.1, update to 2.1 and see if the market appears.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantwin:
Hi All,

I had a strange issue happen to me last night. but first some background. I bought a Bell locked phone and unlocked it to work under Rogers. It worked for well over a month without any problems. I never flashed any roms of anything like that, just rooted and unlocked it. All of a sudden last night the phone would not recognize my rogers sim card anymore. I tried to enter in the unlock code but it would not recognize it. I went to the APN settings and they were blank. Entereing the correct APN settings would not matter as they would not be saved.

I tried formatting the whole by doing a factory reset but that did nothing. I tried searching for fixes but the only thread i found that had any solutions was this one xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9069113#post9069113 - after pulling that file i found i did not have that paramater at all.

I now have no idea what to do and am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

APN setting wont save

Hello

I have recently loaded the FRX04 updated os for my touch pro2 (rhodium) and cannot seem to get an apn settidng to save therefore cannot get a mobile network to work.

I am currently running off wifi but cant make outgoing calls or do pretty much anything with the sim card

I have tested two sim cards in the phone (which was originally on vodafone) but when it was running the windows platform it is fine with any network.

I read somewhere that it may be a bug in the mnc field which is why it wont save a new apn?

I have looked at downloading the SGS unlock tool but i dont think this is the issue

any suggestions will be appreciated

Ok, so I have some corrupted files on my internal sd that won't let my phone boot normally and I was wondering if there's any way too completely wipe internal sd without being able to boot far enough for usb to be detected? Another words my phone freezes as soon as it tries to prepare internal sd. Also I can get into download and recovery just fine and I've already OC Jf6 back to stock. there was no lagfix involved so not sure what became corrupted. I know CWR is still on internal sd because I can still access it via 2e recovery reinstall pkgs. Any help greatly appreciated.

Master Reset Instructions

Following are master reset instructions DM'd to me from USA Galaxy S Twitter support. Copy paste instructions.

This’ll result in the loss of all info not saved on SIM or external SD card. Back up files to PC if you don’t have an external SD.

Sync Contacts & Calendar w Gmail. Make a list of Market apps, as they'll only show up in the list of Downloads the 1st time you log in

Power off phone and remove SIM and microSD (if applicable). Power phone back on. Tap Phone. Dial *2767*3855#

Phone will power off and back on. When fully powered back on, turn off and re-insert card(s). Any questions, let me know!

did you try odin oneclick back to stock?

My suggestion would be to do a oneclick back to stock. It only requires you to be in DL mode not booted up. It will clear your phone, but Im not sure how different that clear is versus the "master clear" option. Either way youll be able to use your fone again if you do the odin oneclick back to stock.

DL Link and Instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
The master clear in odin is the same as formatting your internal sd card. When you flash, everything gets deleted and overwritten except for the internal sd card. However, I don't suspect that his problem is stemming from a corrupt file, but something screwy with the OS. Reflashing will most likely solve his problem. Bite the bullet and do it!
