iPhone will be a paper weight. Say goodbye to Steve Jobs and his death grip hunk of junk ! If you think iPhone was actually good, I have some land in Florida for sale. The only thing good about iPhone was the marketing. There was nothing unique about the phone or the apps market. Handango was the apps market I was dealing with (and a darn good one) over 10 years ago. Maybe Apple did do one good thing. They awoke the giant. And for that may Apple rest in peace.

Microsoft once again leaves its devices lacking...I refuse to own a Swype-less phone. It's a complete deal breaker for me.

Also, IMO is a much better user experience than WP7. I hope HTC can create a overlay ASAP! (I know, MS won't let anyone do this...BIG MISTAKE!)
[HD7 General] MadLinx:
Agreed! I was hopeful for this phone, but at this point it seems like I would be getting a phone not on par with my HD2. While I feel like 6.5 is like a maxed out Windows XP, WP7 surely is no Windows 7.

I wish that WP7 followed what HTC started with Sense...what am I saying...I just wish MS let HTC design the OS!
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
so MS could continue down the road of OS fragmentation where different phones received the same update months apart if ever????

No thank you. Sounds like android is your best bet now.
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i wanted to say "you must be kidding me..." but everyone have a right to chose what they want as a home screen or OS...

the HTC home screen was cool but it was taking up so much memory on my TP2 HD2 was the only device which could run the HTC sense but so many pages, up down, round and round...

WP7 is the kind of OS, the more u use it the more u will like it.. 1 home screen and 2nd app screen, no complications.. i still see ppl saying they cant get used to the WP7 GUI... MS made it so simple ppl still cant use it.. i am so sorry for those ppl..
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i agree with u... SENSE is only for hte ANDROID device, so those ppl think that sense was better then they can get the Adnroid HD device..
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
my dear friend if you think what Microsoft did was so easy and simple to do, then why you did not do it.... you will have lots of money to buy phone...

and yes i started to think u are lunatic as u are still B#$@&#$@ about almost the same things.... did Microsoft beg you to buy the WP7 device??? NO u bought it and for a smart peson like you who assumed everything will be in and did not even try to check what is in the OS what will be comming soon... on one hand u claim to be smart but on the other hand u are NOT...

WHY face book??? there are 500 Million users world wide for Facebook thats why....

if u need USB memory buy one why do u need to use a phone as a data storage...

AND IF YOU ARE SORRY FOR RANTING.. Please stop it...

Voice dictation

Was wondering if voice dictation would be coming in the update? The voice dialing over bluetooth is phenomenal on the HD7 and I would think that it wouldn't be that difficult to add voice dictation. Thanks.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
How did you setup your exchange? What did you fill in for the fields?
[HD7 General] Ken B:
Voice dictation

Dupicate post, sorry.
[HD7 General] eternalemb:
LMAO. Out of all the missing features you single out swype? Bahahahs that thing is useless and annoying to use. I have it on my Omnia II and would rather type things out than use that crap.
[HD7 General] julez456:
Your crazy if you think iPhone will become a paper weight. You may not like the phone as with countless others (including myself) but as long as they keep putting out a new iPhone out every year with just one minimal upgrade, the idiots that already have it will upgrade to the new one and they will also get new buyers. I've been an Android person myself since day 1. I have just about every higher end Android phone that T-Mobile has put out. I had a Touch Pro 2 at one point but other than the hardware itself, I hated everything about the phone. Windows 6.5 wasn't my "thing." When the HD7 came out I figured I try the new OS and guess what?? It still sucks! Other than it looking fresh, the sick transitions betweens screens, I have not found much else I like about WP7. Good thing I still have all my Android phones. I will keep the HD7 (I've only had it for 2 days) in hopes for some nice updates in the future but for now I back on my MyTouch 4G, or my Vibrant, or my Nexus One (My G1 has been retired for good-I just keep it for the memories)..which ever one I feel like playing with at the time I guess. :D
[HD7 General] harrybarracuda:
Strikes me that MS rather rushed out WP7 to try and stem the flow from Apple to Android. It's like Vista. When they finished Vista and cleaned it up to an acceptable product, they called it Windows 7.

So I'm guessing WP7 Update 1 will be as drastic an improvement.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Hope your rite, but then again look at how many patches Vista went through before Win 7 came out, so one patch one save it, hell reading what is in the patch, nothing of what we need, speed of apps? really? my apps open just fine, its the many other missing things that we need.
[HD7 General] SugarMouth:
Man you sound just like me, an Android user at heart who tries other platforms in between but always goes back to Android. Ive had the same phones you have listed but miss the N1 the most.

*****************************

Are you for real? MS has never supplied SWYPE so why start now? At least pretend to know what you're talking about.

I wish MS supplied my WP7 with a Ferrari, think they'll do it?
[HD7 General] julez456:
Yea..Android imo is the best OS out right now. I still have all my phones. Right now I'm switching between my MyTouch 4G and my Vibrant. My N1's trackball won't scroll to the right so I haven't really messed with it lately. I need to get it repaired. :( My HD7 is put away for now until the long awaited update comes out.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Funny, when I try it on my HD7, it doesn't work. Connect your bluetooth headset and hold the WINDOWS button and try talking....it doesn't detect any noises at all, like it has switched off the phone's own microphone but not switched on the microphone in the headset. Rather annoying.

Are you sure it works for you? If so, how?
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i have not used the head set on my HD7... but if i am not wrong from the WM time u have to press and hold the headset button on the bletooth headset to activate the voice dial..
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Nope....doesn't work! :O(

Maybe in February's update...
[HD7 General] hukkguai:
The voice dialing on my HD7 works perfectly through my BT. I am currently using the LG HBM-810. I just tap the single button on the BT and the voice dialing activates.
[HD7 General] y2k1ltd:
Works fine here with Jawbone Icon
[HD7 General] 2012iawait:
when is the update coming....
[HD7 General] Ken B:
Hi Jim, I have used a Plantronics Pro and now a Plantronics Pro + (which I highly recommend), and it works flawlessly. It may be the headset you are using. You do have to press and hold the call/answer button on the headset for about 2 seconds to activated the voice dial. And I can say that even when there is a lot of background noise, the recognition of who I ask to call is dead on. The only thing is miss with Win Phone 7 is the ability to announce incoming caller name like it did with Voice Command. Hopefully the update will allow that.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
Works with my Official Playstation headset, quick press of the power button activates the voice recognition
[HD7 General] coleone13:
+1

When??
[HD7 General] HeadHunter2009:
+2 Who know when update coming up?
[HD7 General] evolutionqy7:
any one know will the updates be delayed by carriers or will all HD7 phones will receive the update as soon as HTC releases.

Cause i couldn't be bothered de-branding if it the carrier doesn't affect the the updates.

Reason why i ask is that O2 is well known for being damn ****ing slow to release them for Android phones :S hope this isnt the case on WP7
[HD7 General] fnordelus:
Really Hate to Say this

I really hate to break it to you guys but the update has been delayed, and I have a feeling that it's going to be delayed again. Expect it to show up around March.. maybe...

[HD7 General] nitroxn:
Why are the carriers delaying the freaking updates? I have an unlocked handset so i dont care about the carriers. also i think its a stupid of MS to blame on carriers if that is the case.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
This has showed yesterday on MS Support pages. Hopefully the update is around the corner. ;)

Sweet!

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[HD7 General] homer.web:
So, from January update we are right now in February update... Maybe... :(
[HD7 General] silversurfer03:
Zune sw update not WP7!

This is confused software update troubleshooting tip which has nothing to do with OS, but the Zune updates itself, fair voir!
[HD7 General] homer.web:
Try to read it again... ;)
[HD7 General] PaullikesWINMO:
Well ... it took a little longer but it looks like Windows Phone is rolling along! Bring on Tango and Apollo ... along with all the new devices !:)
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Ive been waiting and waiting, have done all the updates, and still see the same 4th grader rainbow color squares on home screen that take up space and are useless, no real changes to the OS to really make it worth having.

I have to say the only reason why I even got the phone was because I liked the interface on HD2, come to find out later that its because HTC sense was running and made that great interface.

Without HTC Sense, I am sorry to say WM7 is crap.

If you use ur phone to update ur face book status and like pretty pink and orange colors then its great for you...

For the rest of us who use our phone for productive things, its a POS.

Shame on NOKIA for dropping Symbian and using this POS OS

Just my two cents.
[HD7 General] PaullikesWINMO:
Nokia still makes Symbian.... albeit it will not be their flagship but Symbian is not dropped. And great on Nokia for teaming up with Microsoft ! Google buying Motorola was a matter of time. Nokia and Microsoft already have a jump on them and the two companies have lots of synergy. Say good-bye to Apple unless they learn to partner. They need innovation. Still can't swap out a battery on iPhone ? Sigh....

Sell your Apple stock and go buy Nokia stock !
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Synergy will only get u so far, when you have a bad OS u have a bad OS.

I know ppl praise wm7 up and down, I personally dont see it.

Symbian had things in its OS and on home screens before any one else had such power and data and they let it all fall behind.

As far as hard ware, my old Nokias still power up and function perfect even after being dropped and air born a few times.

My HD2 took a small dip on the floor screen gone.

On the HD2 just being on home screen u can see up to 18 diff pieces of info without having to scroll anywhere.

HD7, ur stuck looking at 4 and a half pretty color squares on the same size screen as HD2.

and why is it so difficult for them to arrange the programs in a table format vs a straight line?

I believe we discovered that table lay out is much more efficient then one line lay out about 3000 years ago...

and you say Microsoft and Nokia team up will beat apple? Highly doubt it.

Apple users will pay the price no matter how high, that goes to show their love of the product... especially with SIRI in the package, and a very good speaker phone which all of the new devices are crappy at.

My Old Nokia E51 has better quality speaker phone then HD2, HD7, HTC Desire, HTC amaze and Samsung Galaxy S II, I have tested all of them.

Nokia has always been a company of innovation.. they need to drop MS and their crappy OS and rework Symbian to be a beast of an OS to put the rest to shame.

The board members should of fired the person who even suggested the so called synergy with Microsoft who was loosing the mobile game at that point already.

Also should of gotten rid of the people in project development who did not instantly put the Iphone out of the market when it first came out. Nokia did not budge a bit on their direction when Iphone hit the market, and let HTC out do them...
[HD7 General] PaullikesWINMO:
But isn't it interesting that both Nokia and Microsoft are being talked about ? That means there is an opportunity for better product. Yes.. Apple fans will always be Apple fans, but how many would jump ship if better product is available to them. Let's see where all this leads once Apollo is released later this year and hand set makers are looking for opportunities to sell. Google will pour their efforts into Motorola line up and forget the partners that helped Android to where it is today. HTC was one of the early ones selling Windows Mobile some years back, so that would make an interesting partnership as well.

The story is not finished and chapters are yet to be written. Let's watch it all unfold, but my point way back 18 odd months ago was pretty much corect. :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basher52:
Im on Android since more a year now, starting with T-Mobile Pulse and since summer, going on with my HTC Desire.

My question is, why android needs this power of hardware, in order to run smooth. The old iPhone 2G got nearly same hardware to the pulse (550 MHz, 256 MB RAM etc), but was much faster(smoother). Ive read a lot about hardware optimised code fpr ARM7 or similar, but the performance is still poor, even with overclock on leedroid 2.2...

On my second computer with a intel pentium III Chopperine 933 MHz i could realy good surf the internet, even nowadays, or play games like battlefield 1942 or counterstrike.

Could it be possible, to improve the perfomance by hand otimising the code? Would even spend time on this, able to prog, but at first i want to her your oppinions.

Greets from Germany and sorry for my poor english :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] razor950:
The fluid ui that the iPhone has is mostly because they use gpu accelerated support. Android for some reason does not and I think only minor ui features are done on the gpu, some phones might have custom work done and its why it feels more fluid or less slow.

The other thing is a iPhone is standard in hardware. You don't have the issue of a iPhone 4 with or without more memory or less. It's easier to code and optimize when you have only a set of rules.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meltus:
What are you doing to your phones??

I have a Nexus One (same hardware as the Desire) and i'd willingly challenge any iphone 4 user to a speed contest :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basher52:
GPU accelerated GUIs make sense to me, but die missing feature in Android doesnt really make sense. As we know, there is an AMD Z340 GPU inside, could it be possible to make it boost the graphics in 2D mode?

What iam doing with my desire? whoa, even surfing this page without the xda app isnt really fun, just slowy moving :( flash sucks performacne in huge numbers, that websites arent rally usable at all when running a video.

Now on Desire, most thinks are running fluently, but there are still lags, even with the custom rom. Using the Pulse was horrible, while it got 550MHz CPU and 192 MB ram. remember, its a mobile!

Here is a german report about software tweaking, which could make software 5 times, if the developers would reconcentrade on the used hardware again, like they have to do on gaming systems like GBA or newer. GBA got abot 3MHz! but runs Pokemon very well. Now imagine what could be possible, if our operating system would be better written.

Question again: it is possible to do some tweaks on a kernel or eveb androiditself without being msater coder?

Well today I just dropped my evo and the screen broke my phone is rooted I have the insurance do I have to worried that is rooted any help thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNexxuvas:
Our service centers will still take care of you. We have whole front housing with the screen. Your root did not cause this, ergo, we can still do the repair. Hardware issues are ok, no matter if you are rooted or not.

It's when you come in with weird software glitches and are rooted that we ask you to bring the phone back unhacked so we can assess the situation with bare bones stock software.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black SER:
^^

hahahaah. I like your post

"ah can you please bring this back un-rooted"

I can only imagine a customers face when you tell him this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verse187:
Lol thanks for the help i don't feel like unrooting I had this phone since June 4 but how my much will I have to pay Oh and I have myns Rom on here and I scratched my case so it would look red thanks man
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
if you pay the $7 bucks a month for the insurance then the repair should be free. if you dont have the insurance then it is $35. the whole repair takes about 45 mins. and thats only if they have the correct part in stock. But this is better than buying one and doing it yourself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquarinard:
You mean to tell me if you break your screen, you get it fixed free if you have service and repair?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verse187:
Thanks everyone yeah I pay 7 bucks a month then I'm good to go then ill go tomorrow thank god for insurance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
Yep. Awesome right. I just had mine fixed a couple weeks ago.
[Epic 4G General] _DiMoN_:
Currently I have the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 8GB international, unlocked. The problem is that I am at Tmobile and I can not use the 3G network because of difference in frequencies in the international edition (AWS / 1700Mhz issue).

So I checked the prices of the plans at http://www.boostmobilestore.com and I think it is pretty good. I am staying at Boston and know that the coverage is pretty good.

So I am thinking of selling my phone and buying the Epic 4G. Do you think it is a wise choice? What differences would I face by switching?

In the community of i9000 there are a lot of FroYo firmwares and mods, we have the lag issue but plenty plenty of lag fixes too. The only maybe I will need is Swype in Greek that I suppose it is to install it from another FroYo version...at least in i9000 it was possible.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
The epic is the i9000 with a keyboard and gimped memory with no official froyo
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
And a xda forum full of babies who want threads closed because there's a chance your phone might brick. And no fm radio too
[Epic 4G General] _DiMoN_:
Hahha...The i9000 I have flashed it, many many times, so I am not worried of bricking the phone. The first thing I will check is to see if download mode is there, and if it is no problems...

But you know it is not a good thing to have this nice device on EDGE (or 2G)... I am paying also $60 per month for 500 minutes...

Why not have for $50 unlimited plus 4G?
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Boston has 4g so I suggest the epic on the spdint network
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Did anyone every actually confirm or deny or lack of fm radio hardware?

One click ENG S-OFF​

HTC - Quietly Unlocked​

I have created a small and simple tool to S-OFF a Desire HD after it has been permrooted with Visionary. After you have run this tool, you will have an engineering hboot (S-OFF). Remember that making a phone S-OFF is dangerous business, and you use this tool at your own risk! The tool also works with any custom ROM, as long as you have root permissions (and Radio S-OFF, which was required to flash the custom ROM in the first place).

System requirements:

Windows XP SP2 or higher

.NET Framework 3.5

HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)

Desire HD with lower than 1.7x stock ROM OR any custom ROM, tick "I have Radio S-OFF" in the tool

Now that your device is S-OFF, and you can get Rom manager from the market, which will install a ClockWorkMod recovery for you. Just open it up and tap "Flash ClockworkMod recovery".
[Desire HD Android Development] vimto25:
Mint! This sounds great. So all I need to do is perm root and use your app :D I sence new ROM and kernal on my device very soon.

Don't forget to report your feedback.
[Desire HD Android Development] vimto25:
Will I have any problems with windows xp 32bit ? As on the other tool people having problems. I'll have to wait till 2orw to try on my dads laptop as I'm guessing its fine on windows 7 64bit ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Windows 7 64b will definitely not have the AdbWinApi problem, it only seems to affect XP.
[Desire HD Android Development] vimto25:
I'll give it a try 2orw unless some1 else gives it a go before. Would be nice to have a all in 1 tool (kernal+Rom) but that's jumping the gun abit lol

works without problems on windows 7 64bit.

Your DHD this S-OFF now?

Thanx

Hi,

yes, my dhd is S-off now.

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I fixed the WinXP problem with my Kernel Update Utility, and I think that it will affect this tool, too. I will prepare a new build tomorrow.
[Desire HD Android Development] paulus_01:
so, when this has been tested, will you look at merging this with the other tool you created to offer an even completer '1-click-tool'? ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
I would like to keep these tools separate, because new users get easily confused. This app is meant for them, to easily gain s-off.

[Desire HD Android Development] leoking3:
So if my rooted DHD doesnt in fact install clockworkmod recovery from the Rom manager (although it does not return any error), could it be because I am not sure if the device S-off-ed?

Could someone please explain the few steps that need to be followed and what to do with the files from the attachment. I can only guess, but I am not sure. THANKS!
