the other stuff you quoted sounded like you took it as a personal attack. why ? they were a persons opinions of areas that need improvement.

this part, about data usage... everyone has a choice as to which telco they use. some have caps, some do not. isn't it counter productive to -PAY- a company that imposes caps than to pay a company that does not ? vote with your money ?

thats all, hopefully this thread can stay out of the flame-retardent section for a while. it's interesting to read people's reasoning.

im considering it. :eek:

im a current evo user but i love the look of the dell venue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vbetts:
I love my Evo, I really do. And I like Android a whole lot. But until WP7 gets flash, I'm not even considering it. I love flash on my phone, keeps me occupied when I need something to kill time. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] TooSlo:
I'll say this.

I want to like WP7. I really want to. I know people who work on the WP7 team at MS. I see glimmers of what WP7 could be.

What I don't see currently is a mobile OS that truly fits my needs and desires. Currently the closest is Android, but I spend 10+ hours per week on these damn forums and flashing different ROMs/kernels/etc.

I liked iOS as well, but I felt like there was so much work I had to do with jailbreaking and theming phones to make it worthwhile.

Maybe I'm just getting too old for this crap, but I want a mobile OS that's fast, user friendly, and provides apps that fit my needs, as well as ones which push the boundaries of what mobile devices can do.

Until then, I'll be sticking with Android, but keeping a very close eye on WP7. Once it matures a bit, I think I'll definitely give it a chance. Heck, maybe if I can afford one, I'll just buy a slate as a toy and run internet from my EVO.

The iphone has the highest resolution but most apps are not made for this (as made for older iphones) and the contrast ratio is quite low.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ewells30:
I made the jump last week. I started out with the G1, then moved to the HTC Mytouch, then ran with the Iphone on Tmobile, then to the Mytouch Slide, then a month ago to the Vibrant, and then last week got a HTC HD7.

So coming from Android back to a Windows device for me was somewhat bittersweet. Granted, there will be things that I do miss from Android, but as time goes by I feel as if Windows Phone 7 will grow stronger. I never had a opportunity to play with the HD7 before I made my purchase. But after actually playing with it for a week or so, I am glad I made the jump. I love Android, in fact at work everyone comes to me with their phone questions and tech help.

To me, Windows Phone 7 is all about standing out from all the other Mobile UI's and that is what I love about it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
I went from an iPhone 4 to a HTC Trophy and have mixed emotions about WP7.

the main reason I switched is because I'm entering my final year of high school and didn't want to be distracted by the 109 games in my pocket. Although WP7 is new, I expected more and I still love apple for frequent updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
Well my girlfriend is a true apple-fanatic. She has a MacBook, Macbook Pro, the Iphone 3G, the Iphone 4 and an Ipod Touch. The funny thing is that I bought the Samsung Omnia 7 a few weeks ago, and I showed her how WP7 works, how brilliantly integrated it is with facebook and everything, just how plane simple and awesome it looks and how fast it is. Then for the moment, she seemed not so impressed..

However; A few days later she played around with my Omnia 7 for a few minutes, and suddenly she said "if I were to get a new phone today, I would get a phone with WP7". Hearing that coming from an apple-fanatic is 1 chance a 1 billion. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
I have both an iPhone 4 and Nexus One so I thought, "Hey why not? Let me try something new". So far I have been blown away. I absolutely love WP7 and can't wait for the next updates to bring some feature parity to other OS's. My favorite thing is probably the lack of crazy changes the OEMs have made to Android making their way to WP7. It feels untainted in away. And lastly it's weird but I feel like the OS is somehow anti-modern tech and more natural. The UI is different, Words hang off the side of the screen and my favorite part is the lock sound is a water droplet!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JuWa:
I was quite Android addicted before. I wanted to try WP7 and have to say, I love it! I got tired of customizing and changing custom ROMs on Android. WP is everything I need and it just works!
[Windows Phone 7 General] HardwareLust:
I am.

I'm an old WM guy (and I loved it in it's time), but I gave up on WM after my Treo Pro and WM 6.1 finally stopped working when my IT guy decided we needed MS Exchange 2010.

I've been Android user since (Moto Milestone), and while Android has some advantages, it also has disadvantages, not the least of which being the lack of a decent MS Exchange client, and a decent set of apps to handle MS Office docs. I just bought myself a new unlocked HTC HD7, and as soon as it gets here, the Milestone is going in the junk drawer along with all my other old phones.

So, in short, I need a device whose primary purpose (other than to be a phone) is to handle MS Exchange email and MS Office docs. Nothing Android (or Apple) has can touch MS in that regard. And now, with the March update, and with Nokia onboard, and multitasking coming later, I think WP7 will only get better and better as time goes by.

I'm also a big Zune fan, and a big Xbox 360 user, so the integration with those 2 services is a big plus as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] asiancuta:
I just recently went from HTC Aria rooted with Android 2.2 to Samsung Focus. I wanted a bigger phone screen so I went to Att wanting to look at the HTC Inspire 4g, but the Samsung focus caught my attention. Debated how Android is an unregulated mess. Certain apps not working on certain phones, doesn't make for a smooth OS. And the loads of crap apps on the Android market and lack of security regulation in app developing. numerous copies and variations of the same apps.

If I spend a couple hundred dollars on a phone , I want something a little more professional. And windows phone 7 manages this...especially on my Samsung focus :)

And I have confidence in MS that they won't let the app market go to crap as Google has.

TIme to toss the Aria onto Craigslist

[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Android early adopter. After 2 years of flashing roms daily I now realize that was 2 years time wasted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I agree. Using an Android phone leads to quite a bit of burnout. Never again will I use a smartphone OS that requires so much... Thought and manual labor, instead of the phone just working like it should and getting things done.

Android is like Linux on the desktop, fun for the first few months and then it gets boring. It's decent for low cost phones for people who don't care and are moving from feature-phones, though.

But I think Nokia will make WP7 competitive in that market, so only time will tell how things truly pan out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
I was in the same boat. The sad thing is that I would probably still love Android if Google didn't let the OEM's manhandle the OS. I shouldn't have to go through all the trouble of flashing a ROM to get rid of junk. Android is only open for manufactures.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I just made the switch to wp7 from android. There are some features I really miss that will hopefully be implemented down the line(like wifi tethering), but overall I am blown away by the interface and the way you flow through it. It just makes so much sense. And of coarse the responsiveness of the OS is the only one which has at the very least matched apple's iOS in terms of smoothness and acceleration. It just feels so "solid" as a platform (which is one of the few things I liked about the iPhone).

The built in standard features are also vastly superior to any other platform that I've used...and I've used BB/iPhone/Android/webOS (music player, email ect are phenomenal). Although the first implementation of the Dialer is less than ideal (needs smart dialing asap). Its a very satisfying experience, and I highly recommend those who have misgivings about a windows phone go try one out for 10 minutes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Since birth lol

I have been an old WM adopter as well as palm and android and apple ios, but for the age of wp7 it is very reliable. And in current build fills my needs for everything so far that I had on all others, I don't use the pointless fart apps (sorry not for me) and really haven't needed a copy and paste on anything. I miss only two things and that is palringo and wifi tethering (would really come in handy on my nook color). But performance wise this thing works well out of box, and because it does I am looking to get a zune pass possibly because I can really work on the go with my two mobile devices my Focus and Zune really lightens my weight up. I just wish that MS would incorporate docking features and accessories in the spec it would really help their marketshare, the reason people get iphones and android is because its an app that works on everything your tv, your motorcycle, etc. With all the windows systems out there I thing it would be integral to tie these into the flagship of your mobile offerings. The moto attrix got so much attention because of it processor and docking capabilities, my friend who is an att asst manager said his focus performed on par with the over powered attrix :P so we have the OS than runs well just need the accessories and such.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I currently own an iPhone a Nexus One and an HD2 (running WP7 and Gingerbread).

I like WP7 a lot and I think it has a lot of future potential, but it honestly lacks too many features that Android and iOS have for me to seriously consider ONLY using it as my OS. it is nice and fluid but without multitasking, flash, C&P, tethering, and apps I just find myself at times having to boot into Android on my HD2 to do certain things. I also can't find things like a podcast player that lets me save the MP3s on the device to play whenever I want, the apps are all over the place and I can't put them into any folders, all the xbox live games are paid, the facebook app is just terrible, I actually use the integrated people hub more than the actual facebook app.

I cannot wait to see WP7 after the Mango update but I don't think I will ever "switch" to WP7 without having other operating systems at to use at my whim, because when Mango finally comes out we'll probably be seeing a dual-core Ice Cream phone and iOS 5 on a dual-core A5.

The lack of keyboards is also annoying both in WP7 and iOS, what if I want swype or an HTC keyboard or multitouch keyboard or something like Better Keyboard? WP7 seems to much like a Play Skool version of a cell phone right now. I think the "I have to flash new roms every day" thing is pretty over-hyped because I can hold on to the same ROM running very stable for as long as I want, and with the current back-up tools when I do reflash or use another SD ROM I have everything restored as needed in 10 minutes, the flashing only takes about 2 minutes, so it's never a big deal.

If MS would provide the APIs that devs really need and open up a little bit then I think the app scene would soar and the OS would really contend with the "Big 3" so we actually could have a "Big 4"
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
All these people seem to want WP7 to become like Android, and it won't. If anything, it will become more like iOS. But Microsoft would have to be retarded to pander to Android sypathizers. They already have something like that (Windows Mobile), and it didn't work.

Android's success has much to do with its cost and how easy it is to throw it on any and all kinds of phones. The fact that it's developed really fast by Google helps makes the manufacturers money because lots of people it seems are willing to pay for software updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I think "all these people" more want it to have some of the features that Android has, not to become "more like Android". WP7 already is using iOS as a model and with it's closed and locked down everything it's the polar opposite of Android, which I am not saying is a bad thing, I never wanted a cheap Android knock-off, I wanted a brand new sleek OS, which WP7 is that, it just lacks features and apps to be a real contender right now,

but when that changes, and it will change, then I can see using it as a daily with no need to resort to Android or iOS when the need arises, but at it's current infantile beta state it can't be expected to compete with iOS and Android which have had years to mature. It's on the way though, let's see how it looks after Mango, especially with custom ROMs on the scene :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
also,

1) you know that Android came after WM right? So MS couldn't have pandered to something that came out after it did, and your example is further obviated by the fact that Android succeeded immensely...

2) who pays for software updates? If anything your point is backwards because MS charges license fees whereas Android is open-source and free and anyone can do anything with it they damn well please without having to pay.

The fact that
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
He's talking about with wp7. They won't make that mistake again. Android is making the exact same mistake MS made WITH windows mobile. They (MS) won't do that again.

He's right. Basically because Android is throwing out phones very quickly (and not updating many of them), Android users seem all to eager to have the "latest and greatest" phone, which is effectively like them buying updates. A disproportionate amount of the time, to get the newest OS build, you have to buy a newer phone with it pre installed. Or hack the phone, but your average consumer does not do this, nor should it be required.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
OrangeKid lacks reading comprehension.

I'm not feeding that troll.

But you're right, dtboos. Thanks for sparing me the embarassment of giving him a response :P

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this has already been answered but I've been searching for hours and cant find a solution... :confused: Also, please move to this thread to the correct forum if needed, although this seemed appropriate.

I have and HTC Hero CDMA and it is already rooted via z4root(did not install busybox for some reason).

I've downloaded ROM Manager (both free and premium), Titanium Backup, and RecoveryFlasher 1.1.2 and 1.1.3

I'm trying to back up my current ROM but am unable to do so. I've tried using Rom Manager which gives me "An error occurred while flashing your recovery" when trying to download ClockworkMod Recovery

I've also tried using FlashRec(both versions listed above) and get "Backup Failed: Could not run command"

Anytime I try to boot to a recovery, I just get the screen with the exclamation point.

I'm totally lost. I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere and I just can't seem to figure it out. I even tried downloading a recovery and pushing it to my sdcard. Nothing works...

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm trying to do a nandroid backup/current ROM backup so I can install CM6 in the near future. Thanks in advance!!!

titanium back up will install busy box if you click on the problems button.Im not an expert by any means but I believe you're not able to get into recovery becuase you have no recovery image. Did your root method give you super user in your app drawer?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Can you ADB? If so, are you able to get to "#" - SU?

1. Try and check if you have SU permissions, at all. If the answer to either of the above questions is NO, then you don't have root

2. If you have root, did you try flashing recovery from within ROM manager? If it failed, the easiest way to get around would to RUU back to .5 and follow regaw's root, recovery, flash ROM method. You can find all the information on the wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Hero_CDMA.png.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjvanwash:
I do have su rights and yes I tried flashing recovery from within Rom manager but it doesn't work. As far as busybox ill try installing it via titanium backup. I'm not really sure how to ruu back to 1.5 but I will search for how to do it.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give u an update asap.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjvanwash:
I downloaded busybox via Titanium Backup and it was successful but its not in my list of apps. I noticed that it downloaded to /system/bin and when I click on it I get "file not found"

EDIT: Would it be easier if I just reset to factory default, root from there, then do the Rom manager to install the Clockworkmod recovery? (not sure if its 1.2 or 1.5...Jan 2009 is when I got it)

It is very easy, the RUU takes about 15/20 mins and then the root and such. Once you run the RUU, read the post properly and follow the steps, you should be good to go.
