[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
Where did he say anything like that? He said it may be year(s) before they catch up to the sales volume of android, but i'm not sure what you mean by "catch up" :) If you ask me, my Focus is already ahead of android in everything that matters.

I'm sort of surprised MS isn't touting some of their firsts.. first to market with a subscription music service - one that the infamous apple can't even do and no other phone can really compete against experience wise. First to market with fully integrated facebook/people hubs

BTW, the host was a complete Douche.. if he thought he was being tough, he was just coming off as stupid. He reminds me of a kid that keeps on asking "are we there yet" when they parents have already given every conceivable answer and the kid just doesn't give a rats ass anyway :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Attention Attention...possible android fanboy alert!:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
So what I'm thinking the guy reminds me of my son when we gets on one (he is 3) and I to think MS needs to learn the skill of bragging they have had to defend themseves so much they seem to have forgot how to big up the things they have done first/best. Zune is untouchable and its about time they let people know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Doesn't matter how rude the host was, the microsoft guy had NOTHING to new or exciting/relevant to say. From the look on his face I bet he was expecting another light interview full of fluffy and nothing of value, which is exactly what he delivered.

It's one thing to not give timeframes for when features will be released but it's worse to not even let developers know if the features are going to be added or not.

Multitasking? - maybe

Sockets? - maybe

Meanwhile I'm slowly turning my attention to other platforms that actually have working API and a much broader market including tablets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
The whole live at dive thing was full of bad hosts.

You guys have to remember its like politics. Belfiore couldn't say much, I think he did a great job. One slip up and he could have lost his job.

He couldn't say the people hub is the first of its kind, because its not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
where else has a people hub been used? This isnt trying to be a back chat i am genuinely interested as i have owned a blackberry (storm) android (htc desire) symbian (n95 8gb) my family have iphones and i use them at work :( and my wife has had an lg cant remember what model it was though and a nokia e70. I have not seen anything on these like it are you referring to the palm pre as i have never seen this is action? But the closest i have seen is the way android pulls the data together and the use of widgets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Yes Android. Twitter, Facebook, and others have the option of integrating with your contacts. I just hit my contacts button and bam there is everything I need social wise. All the latest updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yea, People Hub isn't new. The only thing new about it is the workflow (i.e. the way it actually functions). And it had to be "new" in that regard because the WP7 UI workflow demanded it. It would be like putting new mail counts in a notification bar with the Outlook Tile right there in you face...

I agree much of that was political.

Engadget's "additions" on their site probably made it read worse than it was. We all know who they are rooting for, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] denizen08:
That interview totally cracked me up! It's true Belfiore couldn't say much, and beside that it wouldn't do good to give Walt more fuel to put aflame.

I like MS's approach with the WP7 marketing, development and app screening, and even opening up nearly all their whitepapers to developers - professionals and freelance alike, as well as students. I'm not familiar with how Apple does things on the development side but it seems their holding their own in terms of quality assurance of apps, but in Android its simply a horrible experience (at least from my experience, limited as it is).

On the issue of Legacy Code, well one really shouldn't re-invent the wheel. The Apple Mobile Kernel is basically a stripped off version of the original MAC kernel with a lot of optimizations, including its modular approach. The Android kernel is basically the linux kernel with, again, optimizations and changes for mobile architecture. But Hey, who's the layman who will say that Android and iOS isn't new? I think the WP7 OS is just getting dimmed by the Windows Mobile OS.

But I had to laugh at Walt's use of "Carrier Crapplets". :)) Not that I'm against them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
I've been using android for about six months now and the biggest frustration for me is the endless, endless sea of crap that is the market. Some apps will be absolutely genius, work flawlessly and be well designed. Others look like they've been made by a sick monkey with a crayon. Admittedly, my experience is limited, but most of the apps I've tried (30-40+) have been in the latter category.

I'm sure if I had the time to go through every app for everything I required in the market, I could find good ones, but I don't, so I like the idea of quality control.
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
Who is the bearded fellow? he's a real ball buster lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
You can argue that nothing is revolutionary in this case as everything is just a profession of what has been. The people hub as with hubs as a whole is as new and unique as anything ever served up by IOS android Symbian BlackBerry etc. Yeah you could update statuses and see fb update on contacts etc but the concept of a hub is very different. It centralizes Facebook live Google phone contacts with live updates in a news feed and last used contacts bought forward for fast access. It trully centralizes everythingand that is unique.

working install

I had issues with cwm failing to up date as well. So after some google fu I managed to get a working install.

1. Download the file found in this thread.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864033

2. Power down and reboot into cwm.

3. Select mounts and storage and then select mount system.

4. Install zip from sd and select the zip from step one.

5. Reboot and enjoy.

6. In settings>language&keyboard there should now be an option for android keyboard. Open the browser and long press the url bar. You should get a popup allowing you to select the android keyboard.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Does this "IMPORTANT NOTE: this ZIP file is a ClockWork Recovery update file ==> DO NOT USE IT !!! (it will remove your system odex files) Just unzip and grab the APK and SO files." apply to the G-Tablet too? That thread talks about SO files and stuff too. I take it nothing bad happened when you flashed it?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wingman_214:
At first I tried the install with just the apk and so files and it didn't work for me.

As far as .Odex files I haven't seen any at all in the root folder.

So far I haven't had any fc's or issues what so ever.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] slampana:
I followed wingman_214s instructions and it worked perfect for me. No issues so far.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Ok. I'll take the plunge. Thanks.

I followed the instructions above ands while I can see the android keyboard under settings, clicking on the URL space on my browser only pops up the starndard TnT keyboard. How long do I need to engage the URL space? I would like to test it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wingman_214:
Try the google search bar. Just press and hold you should get a pop up. Select "input method" the android keyboard should be an option.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gotwillk:
i'm curious as to why people prefer this keyboard over the stock TnT keyboard. the TnT has bigger keys. the gingerbread has these small little "half" keys. annoying to type on. or do other roms not have that keyboard?

try unmounting your sdcard first before installing.

I quickly tried it yesterday, and the keyboard was all "mushed" together at the bottom, didn't really have any time to try figure out whats going on with it

i got it to load on my vogue it worked but it took up 3/4 of the screen your going to have to wait till the source drops to get one that scales to 240x320
[Touch CDMA Android Development] know.patience:
Wierd, all I could get to come up is the squished down version of it too. The kb works on the wildfire which has the same resolution as we do.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Code+Blood:
This may be a little off topic, but I was wondering if there is any way to have 4 rows of letters on a android keyboard rather than the current 3 rows of letters. I find that I often mistype words because the keys are too small. I would prefer to have 4 rows of letters which would mean less letters per row but wider keys. Does anyone know if a keyboard like this exist?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mikurej95:
You can try a compact keyboard. I'm not sure if the HTC IME keyboard has it. But I do have Ultra Keyboard which has the "swiping feature" and the compact keyboard. PM me if your interested.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] know.patience:
I got the keyboard loaded up and working on my vogue and it does take up a lot of screen real estate. That is not such a bad thing in my book, it's a bit easier for me to type on in portrait mode than the stock froyo keyboard. Doing the sequence of resolution changes was a pain in the @ss on this tiny screen.

they really should have made it a 4 inch or bigger screen, still still will be a deal breaker for me! but Dual core would be very nice
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
I saw this and was highly disappointed that the screen wasn't bigger. Hopefully when all the real specs come out it'll make up for it.

Sent from my EVO's 4G :) You?........I thought so
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
It's not a dual core. They picked apart a rom for it and it's the same newer version of the snapdragon as the G2.
[EVO 4G General] tmotech88:
i never said it would have one i said it would be nice if it did. ill wait to see what the official specs are before i make a choice, i still wont give up my EVO!!!:D
[EVO 4G General] jesziicuh:
I think the size is nice I wouldn't mind it they probably didn't wanna make it 2bulky since there's Gna be a keyboard on it now

Although..I wish that new HTC PRO fro windows was the next EVO #2. AND I DO NOT PLAN on buying those UGLY FUDGLY covers.......ewwww.....lol.

[EVO 4G General] danman132x:
Looks like it will be a decent phone, but I had a Hero before my Evo, and a main reason I upgraded is a bigger screen and better processor. Now at least I won't regret buying my Evo when this one comes out. I love the design, feel, and huge screen on the Evo. Plus I don't need a slide out keyboard, speakers or whatever they may invent. But we'll have to see when some more pics come out from this new phone.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
My guess is they're marketing this more towards the female population. I can't speak for all of them, but as far as my GF is concerned, she doesn't want a phone the size of the evo. Sounds like a mini-evo would be perfect
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Yeah, this is a little underwhelming.. :( I definitely would not use my available upgrade to get this over my EVO. I don't think this is their next flagship, more like you said, a way to broaden their audience even more.

It does look like a solid phone, just not quite an upgrade from the EVO

Following on from the fix I mentioned for the MTP error, using the KiesFileSearcher utility, I have now FINALLY upgraded by Orange branded phone to Froyo 2.2!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!

Once I had managed to connect to Kies, I could get the latest Eclair 2.1 update. Then I couldn't get any further. After a fair bit of researching, I found on the XDA site a fix for Kies, called the Kies Registry Patcher - version 7 - you need the latest one to work with the latest version of Kies.

It is a very simple piece of software which can fool Kies into thinking you have an unbranded phone. As soon as I ran it (takes about 20 seconds to do and I chose the XEU version to fool Kies with) I connected to Kies and it offered me the latest Froyo firmware.

Have now updated my phone (which I must also add I have unlocked to a different network) and all has gone well.

Just want to mention this alongside my other posts for all of you out there still struggling with the horrid problem of updating firmware on Orange SGS phones.

Thanks to the wonderful XDAers who manage to produce these magic fixes!!!!!

If you have any specific questions - just email.

Good luck people!

[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I think I spent about 5 hours trying to flash roms and all this and that yesterday and it drove me nuts. Im new to doing all of these things and I had success with most stuff. I went from AT&T 1.6 to O2 1.6, then O2 1.6 to O2 2.1 and thats where things got funny. I followed the upgrade/downgrade guide on here. I tried to go back to O2 1.6 and was successful using fastboot. Then when I tried to go from O2 1.6 to AT&T 1.6 (6601) it wouldnt go. I tried so many different times to do it and couldnt make it happen. It would get to the boot screen and say something like FOTA Mistmatch, rebooting in 30 seconds. It did that 3 times I tried doing it.

I have a feeling it has to do with getting Root Explorer (Which isnt free in the market) so I downloaded another app that allows you to change files on the rooted phone. I had the phone rooted as per the instructions but for the life of me I could never get it to flash back to AT&T 1.6. I just want the Official Rom back on this phone that I started with and im pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. I got so fed up yesterday, and went from the O2 2.1 straight to Froyo 2.2 via StreakSmarts directions and all of that worked. I just dont like the fact that I have a Rom or update on my phone that is not orignally AT&T. I get the "H" logo instead of the "3G" now and I mean everything works ok. Laggy as all hell, but it still all seems to work. Even got the Video 720p fix fastbooted on there, but for some reason Im still not satisfyed.

If anyone can please, Please help me get back to AT&T 1.6 (6601) I would really appreciate it so much. I just would rather upgrade to 2.2 once Dell pushes it through and stop flashing and messing with the phone, its caused me all extreme headachs and I dont feel right knowing I dropped $500 on this phone. Can anyone please help me?

[Streak 5 General] Joat79:
Also, have you tried updating to official ATT 2.2? It is out there and can pretty painlessly be done using the qdl tool. Check out that tool on Streakdroid and watch the embedded tutorials in the guide section and you should be up and running in less than 10 mins!
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Use the guide on that page. I followed it and went from at&t 1.6 to 2.2 then back to at&t 1.6. Worked like a charm. I did buy root explorer though to do that process. If you have another program that lets you copy files to the folders needed then you should be okay.
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
You know what? I just purchased Root Explorer not long ago while on 2.2 and the ease of that program is nice. The one I was using was some free one that just probably wasnt working properly. I glashed the 318 Froyo and I like it a lot better now. Its much smoother and faster then the last one. So Im gonna stick around on this for a while.

Although Im still really pissed off about the FFC not working with Fring or Tango.

after that, its stuck on the Why so serious bootscreen.

Recovery works fine, fastboot also. I tried flashing back the stock hboot, but nothing helps.
