LOL!!!

I had forgotten about that phone, though the hd7 is probably cheaper...

to rysky, if you are in an sms and want to get back to the list, why are you pressing home/ sms tile instead of the back button???

Several of us have tried to help you get to know your phone better, but for the most part you just want to complain about it.

You responded to one of my posts that you didn't have time to research the phone, that you were too busy running 2 businesses. Yet you have been on here everyday since you have gotten the phone complaining about it. If you had taken the time to read one review, you could have saved yourself all this time on the forums.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Interesting analysis you did, tell me this, how is it that I know that these key features are missing if I dont have the phone?
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
It's a conundrum....if we assume you DO have one, then it doesn't make much sense that you don't know how to use it.

Maybe you had a quick glance at one in a shop? Who knows. Maybe you googled.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Ive used it, plenty of time using it, and noticing more and more down falls to the OS, showed it to a few buddies who used 6.5 on diff models and they laughed at this phone when they saw how the OS operates.

My argument against this phone is that you guys are praising it like its so great when its not, undermining ur own selves, i expected better from a group of ppl on a tech site.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
So...you're upset that we have positive opinions about a product you yourself don't like? OK. Deal with it?

Incidentally, I too have used WM5, 6, 6.1 & 6.5 on plenty of different phones - Tytn, Diamond 2, Touch Pro, HD2 etc. I now have WP7 on an HD7 and when I look back at my HD2, I laugh at it when I see how it operates. So I guess we're all different, huh?
[HD7 General] homer.web:
This guy thinks, that his truth is the only one and biggest truth and tries to convince everybody else about it. ;)
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
All I can tell you is I find WP7 to be the best mobile OS ever crafted...and I mean *finely crafted*. I was an early adopter of iOS with the original iPhone and it *was* the best there was at the time, which wasn't extremely hard to do because the only thing available was crap. The iPhone changed everything and made a huge leap forward in mobile phone tech quality and reliability. Times have changed and others have been forced, by Apple, to improve and adopt higher tech and quality. Now MS has taken a huge leap forward in mobile OS refinement and user experience. Because of WP7, the rest now have to play catch up. This OS will change everything just like the iPhone changed everything.
[HD7 General] microhaxo:
unfortunately, not if you have clicked on the push notification. Hitting back takes you to the home screen and not to your other messages.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
because u dont know how to use the back key....

and just for your info, the things u are *****ing about are not even key features.... unless u can prove to me that your phone will not work if there is no CUT and PASTE... as from one of your post u claimed that u are receiving 80 emails a day and u need to delete them from your phone every day so u need select all... some one asked u if u are deleting all of them everyday u do nto need email dude...

dude to be happy in life is to be happy with what u have first, before u want things in life...

all of us (at least most of the WP7 users) know what we have and what is on the way... but day in day out u are *****ing about a OS which was written from scratch and is currently working without hickups, no reboots, no resets needed and its smooth and fast... arent u tired of your self??? as u can see some other replies to your complaints are put back to u as suggestions for u to stop this...

hope u will get the massage this time...
[HD7 General] adesonic:
This thread is another pointless I like android/ iphone/ wm6.5 and hate WP7 thread, serves no purpose and clutters up the forum, could a mod please close?
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Maybe we need to start deleting off-topic posts or "My iphone/android is great and your wp7 sucks" posts from all the threads on here, rather than closing them. I sometimes want to post on a thread, only to find that the haters have hijacked it and the mods have closed it.

Let's clean out the dross and free up the threads. Proper moderation!
[HD7 General] lutenantdan:
This device is absolutey piss poor on every single level. It doesn't function well as either a phone or even a media player.

No customisation of the system software, no customisation of the hardware, can't put your own apps on, no access to the storage.

Have to **** around like mad just to get music, video, apps onto it.

Worst HTC device ever and worst windows mobile software for that fact !
[HD7 General] homer.web:
Maybe there is a problem between the phone and the chair on which you are sitting... :D:D:D
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
I see you have informed, balanced opinions there. Do continue.

I find the exact opposite, so would be interested to hear you qualify those statements.

Ah! You've not spotted the SETTINGS pages then.

With a screwdriver, a soldering iron and a Beginners' Book of Electronics, I'm sure you can customize the hardware a bit.

If you mean apps you develop yourself, sure you can, you just need to register with MS as a developer. Not so hard. If you mean that you can't download and install apps at all, well, I'm sure I don't even need to answer that.

*Sigh* The storage is not removable for so many reasons, including security and the fact that for performance reasons it is merged with the internal memory. It's the same deal as the iPhone here. Why would you even want to swap cards, when all your data and apps are stored on the card in the phone? As soon as you swapped the card, you'd lose all your apps, media and data. Seems pointless to me.

So drag and drop in Zune is "****ing around like mad" is it? *shakes head* Good grief man, it syncs automatically over wifi and Zune converts and compresses it all for you! What more do you want it to do for you, wipe your arse?

Your entire post is groundless rhetoric. In fact, I'd say "Worst poster ever and worst post for that fact!"
[HD7 General] corleno:
Would have returned the phone a long time back ...But it looks Just too DARN SEXY.

HTC knows design.

But the downside is MS is going back to basics and starting from scratch.

This is a dealbreaker for many cause iPhone started off from noting but today its one of the best handsets out there.

I just wish MS would compete with the iPhone as it is today and not the iPhone when it launched 4 yrs back (no copy-paste and multitasking,etc).
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Personally I define WP7 in one word - Refreshing.

I've had every form the last 5 years of Windows Mobile, to Android 2.2, to an iPhone 4 and all devices have their advantages and disadvantages.

WP7 is just clearly a new and different experience. I will be the first to admit I have my complaints with HD7 hardware such as the annoying to press power button and the poor excuse for a speaker but that's about it. The OS itself is quick and simple. The best part is you don't have to be a tech genius to use it.

Sure, you don't have certain features from the get-go but try to think about the first version of iPhone compared to today's.. Same with Android. Be patient and the features will come. I think it's a great feeling not having to fill up 5 home screens with 100 different app icons and waste time sorting through them and organizing them all day.

My g/f is also a perfect example of how MS is winning people over on these phones. She was in the market for a new phone but is far from a techie. She had Blackberries her whole life and until I passed down an old Touch Pro 2. She came to hate it's bugs and lagginess quickly and was ready for something similar but newer and easier. She was on the verge on an Android device. I spoke very highly of Android and she just didn't think WP7 was anything special. Until the day came that I brought home my HD7 and she spent an hour playing with it. All it took was less than 60 min for her decide WP7 was the phone for her. She now has the Optimus 7 and loves it. She loves the simplicity and ease of use. She loves that she can do all the important but simple things straight out of the box and doesn't have to come to me for help everytime she wants to know how to do something. Not everyone cares about the having to tweak and hack your phone to death to make it do 50 things it wasn't meant to do.

I truly think WP7 has something really great happening. People just have to be patient.
[HD7 General] Slc60:
android has the youtube app, which we recently had an update for which you can have a full screen. which i have the captivate... we have been seeing the template for your phone come over to our side for those who want to try it out. but i like and dislike the hd7... (boyfriend has it) and it has flaws and some pretty awesome things to go along with it. its a good phone from what i used of it in a few hours... but then again, i love my android system better. its truly a love or hate from what i know about this and reading this thread.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
Please go buy whatever dumb proof phone in the market suits u...

Do u even have a WP7 device????
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
There's a new Youtube app in the Marketplace, apparently, which is made by HTC and supports full-screen HD Youtube vids on WP7.

So there you go, it was just a case of waiting a bit.
[HD7 General] pNoyr3D:
Love my HD7, had it for a few days but the battery life is utterly horrible! Unplugged it at full charge at 1PM & now at 3PM after using youtube, playing games, texting, and some other things, its already half-way dead.

Got all the stuff off such as location, feedback, etc. brightness is on medium but just because low I can't see ****. Also, 3G is shut off & I only use wi-fi when I need it.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
1. Let's see: zune, slacker, slingplayer, netflix, paramount movie app, iheartradio, yep, sux as a media device

2. So, no ways for you to break it or make it lag, darn....

3. that drag and drop can be awfully confusing. I mean, they put just a generic cell phone pic on the zune software. I'm not sure if that is my phone or the neighbor's....

4. Definitely the dumbest user I've seen on these forums in a while...

lol!!!

:D
[HD7 General] JoePR31:
I agree with you 100% on the sexy part...but are you seriously still going to ***** about the lack of copy/paste and third party multitasking when everyone who spends any time at all in these forums or in gadget blogs knows that those things are going to be addressed in updates sooner than later?
[HD7 General] deeman:
It amazes how many people are complaining about features that will be coming in 3-4 weeks time just shows you how many actually research before buying I hope Microsoft succeeds Im well impressed with wp7
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
Same with me. I'm generally dumbfounded by the lack of knowledge from people complaining about WP7's missing features. My god! It was widely known since near the beginning of the year about the features that wouldn't be present at launch. How can people, who visit XDA, not know? I mean...if they visit this site, they have to be at least a little bit into tech. Even a person a little bit into tech would know these things.

I'm just...[rollseyes]...friggin....speechless.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mkeena0305:
Is it possible to have transitions from portrait to landscape and vice versa?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Like the iPhone has? I'm sure it is possible somehow, but I haven't seen it yet. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Visionikz03:
Used to be on 1.5 if anyone can remember back that far lol... wonder if it could be ported to 2.2?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
I wonder why they removed it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jlechner:
Probably because it takes long enough now to rotate without some transition getting in the way. Not saying it takes LONG, but it is noticable.

[Focus General] jthender:
I currently have an iPhone 4 and I just bought a Samsung Focus (out of contract on ebay). I want to be able to switch between the two phones periodically as I plan on doing development on the Focus. However when I put my sim card in the Focus I can only get edge data. Does anyone know how I can get 3G without changing my data plan with AT&T?
[Focus General] Biggzz:
i have not had any trouble using my mini sim card with an adapter.
[Focus General] jthender:
Interesting... You get 3G on both the iPhone and the Focus? Is your Focus unlocked or anything?
[Focus General] XpediencY:
there are three different data plans for att. smart phone data, blackberry data and iphone data. you're going to probably need to switch back and forth between iphone and smart phone. if you have unlimited it will probably going to be a big hassle for you if you don't want att to screw it up. good luck
[Focus General] jthender:
Looks like I'm stuck with Edge for now, I'm not sure if I can cut my iPhone ties just yet.

Thanks for the help!
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
mine works fine... im still grandfathering the $30 unlimited iphone plan which i thinlk i used an iphone on mabye 3 days worth ... but every phone ive ever stuck the sim in has worked fine.... im using it in a locked focus now..
[Focus General] Biggzz:
both phones show 3g and neither unlocked.
[Focus General] murchman:
I have both phones and switch between them all the time, no problems with 3G on both and my account is setup for the iPhone unlimited. I don't even use a sim adaptor I have just learned how to put the mini-sim in just right.
[Focus General] markgamber:
There's two data plans; Blackberry and everything else. As long as you line the sim card up properly or get an adapter you'll be fine. Be careful, it's very easy to snap off one or more of the pins that connect to the sim card when using the microsim with or without an adapter.
[Focus General] gmurray:
I've noticed the data roaming defaults to off on the focus. Maybe you are in a 3g roaming area for AT&T? I think the iPhones data roaming defaults to on.
[Focus General] SiL3nTKiLL:
u shouldnt have any trouble...
[Focus General] jthender:
Popped out my SIM and re-seated it. I have 3G now!! Thanks for everyone's help!!!
[Focus General] Holtz:
Interesting, I had a lengthy conversation with AT&T support about this a couple days ago.

I bought the Focus from AT&T and the changed my dataplan to smartphone instead of iPhone without telling me.

I bought the Focus for development, and wanted to continue using the iPhone 4 in the meantime.

I had a couple of issues with both devices when switching my sim back and forth.

1) My voicemail was not set up properly on the Focus. Data worked fine.

2) Although the iPhone had a 3G icon, there was no data connection when disabling wifi.

The AT&T support rep kept telling me there was no way to have both data plans unless I wanted to buy another line...I kept telling him that I pay for the service, not the device, and therefore I should be able to switch all I want, so he should just enable both, but to no avail. There are three data plans, iPhone, Blackberry, and Smartphone.

Now my question is, if I tell them to switch my data back to iPhone, will it work for both in reality (ie. did they lie to me?). Then, will my voicemail be screwed up on the Focus?

Thanks,

-Holtz
[Focus General] killster:
Use my sim. That is on iPhone plan and get 3g in my n1 and focus. For what its worth. Had iPhone 4. Sold it. Never told att. Have grandfathered unlimited. As well. Reset the focus. Mine was weird. At first too.

Now I see you got it. Lol helps to read all the screen. RATS!
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
if its on the iphone plan it wont affect the focus' voicemail... it will function the way it is supposed to... what screws it up the other way is the visual vm..... ive left mine on the iphone plan for all of my other phones and they all work fine...omnia2..hd2...captivate...i900...omnia7...focus....
[Focus General] ccino654:
I'm in the same boat as a few of you, my buddy went overseas and left me his focus. I was an iphone 3gs user on at&t, now I'm a Focus user on at&t. and i didn't use an adapter. i didn't even know it "sorta" needed one. i just slid my sim card in and it's all good for me.
[Focus General] ryan5081:
I am using both iphone 4 and focus and I get 3g on my focus just fine. I have the iphone unlimited data.

Hi,

the default language in my phone is english but i live in an area where all the street names are in french. So when i try to search anything around me in voice search, it doesnt find it since the default voice search is in english.

Is there a way i can keep my phone in english but my voice search and texting in french??

[Legend General] Lanpirate:
Hello everyone. I have a stock 2.1 Legend and I am wondering if I have to back up anything before the OTA to 2.2. Will I lose any contacts or other data stored in the phone's internal memory? If so, is there some windows program I can run that will help me out? I have backed up the SD card. Thanks to anyone who can help.
[Legend General] esset:
Prior to the OTA update your phone will backup everything important such as contacts, apps, messages and so on.
[Legend General] lessirey:
Actually you won't be losing anything. It will just look like an OS upgrade, even the apps will remain untouched. Of course few of those non froyo supporting apps might stop working properly (if you have any).

But its always a good idea to take a backup.

To backup contacts go to People-> Menu-> Import/Export-> Export to SD Card-> Select the account you want to backup.

to backup sms and call logs there are apps available in market, just search for them. i like the simple backup apps by Ritesh Sahu for sms, apn & call logs
[Legend General] Lanpirate:
Awesome, thanks for the help!
[Legend General] Asovse1:
A bit off topic bit still a bit relevant:

I plan on hard resetting my phone in the near future, if I download Froyo, will the reset erase it?

Since I bought my Legend in August from Bell, I've never gotten a single OTA update at all.

Thanks.
[Legend General] asyyy:
No you won't lose group if you do a hard reset after fupdating, once you've done the update you're updated for good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakfingers12:
Hi there, I've had this problem since day 1 I own the Galaxy S. I've tried every method, clear off everything and re import from Sim card, tried to clear duplicates using Contact Analyzer 2, but still, duplicates randomly appear again and again.

My sim card seems to duplicate itself everytime I flash a new rom or SYNC contacts from facebook/twitter. So, I untick display sim card. Seems to clear off. Then, I realise that in each of my phonebook contacts there are several similar contacts merging into one! This is crazy! I am getting tired of this.

I have 1000+ contacts and it's crazy to delete duplicates one by one. That would be 3000+ contacts to delete or so.

Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aurangzeb:
i think maybe is is the Google contact...this is happened in my SGS too and it is named as joined contacts

Hi all,

Hope you can help.

I know there are plenty of applications that will allow me to use androids 3g connection and turn it into a wifi hotspot, however, what I need to do is use a PC's internet connection and use my android desire z as a router to allow other PC's to connect to the same network. The PC does not have wifi or a router and is connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable.

Many thanks,

[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
Im new to rooting/flashing roms.. Is it possible to keep the apps/games you've already downloaded after you've flashed to a different rom? Or do I have to write them down and redownload them?

Also what is a NANDROID backup? Is it the same as backing up though clockworkmod recovery?
[Epic 4G General] walord:
Download Astro file manager. Open it up and go to menu>tools>backup and backup all your installed apps. Then if you do a clean install all you have to do is install Astro from the market and reinstall your apps from your backup.
[Epic 4G General] fastmikey1969:
Your apps are stored on the /data/ partition so that is untouched when you flash a rom. That said, they recommend wiping to avoid any incompatibilities.

You can use a backup program, eg Titanium or My Backup Pro, to backup your apps and data.

Clockwork can do everthing, but I like using Titanium so I can selectively restore apps.
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
So technically speaking I could flash roms without wiping? But I still should.

Thanks to both of you!
[Epic 4G General] thedudejdog:
you can flash without wiping but you should wipe. if you don't wipe don't report bugs, because the first thing they will ask is if you wiped.
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
Made a mistake already haha. Forgot to sync my contacts with google before I flashed to syndicate. Good thing I made a back up of my stock rom :) Goes to show how IMPORTANT backing up is!!
[Epic 4G General] lrosenman:
AppBrain market makes it very easy to restore all your apps from the market.
[Epic 4G General] MasterQu:
This becomes an issue when moving from eclair to froyo. I use app brain and when I moved to a froyo rom I went back in to download fresh and nothing was there. When I flashed back though app brain had my list of apps ready and waiting. Kinda neat kinda painful. Use Astro...it's a lot simpler.
