[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
well if you look at the TV ads you can see that Apple has better advertising. The Facetime and app commercials are a lot better than "I can snap a picture a millisecond faster than you" WP7 commercials. At least WP7 actually has ads. I have never seen a winmo commercial. Even the HD2, they only said it had a fast processor, big screen, and came with transformers, they never mentioned any software pros, so MS is on the way up, but their commercials really do suck, especially when the MT4G, Evo, iPhone 4 commercials are all about about video chat and 4G, neither of which WP7 can claim.

WP7 is just not going to be on par with Android or iOS for a while, till it becomes another mainstream OS, but if I went and asked ANYONE I know what WP7 is, they wouldn't have a damn clue, or say "oh I thought I saw that one with those big squares right?"

MS doesn't give any info about the OS other than you have big ass tiles that update and apparently you can open your camera app fast.

If that's the only thing your OS can do, then people are going to go with the alternative.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
In the AT&T stores in the U.S., soon as you walk in the door and turn left, you hit the iPhone section. iPhones get the royal treatment. You have to search for all the other phones (no prominent displays).

I think MS is limited in advertising because they have a separation from the hardware. MS only advertise the OS. I haven't seen any HTC/LG/Samsung WP7 TV ads for their own hardware. Because of this disconnect, I think we'll never see absolutely great advertising for WP7 (Android neither). Apple's "take total control over everything" approach seems to be paying off well for them.

I think MS needs to do joint advertising with all of its hardware partners. As of now, the WP7 phones have no "market personality" the way iPhones and some Androids do. I've seen AT&T WP7 commercials that are reminiscent of early iPhone commercials. I give AT&T credit for having the best WP7 TV ads so far. Unfortunately, they aren't that amazing either.

am i the only one that thinks windows phone 7 ads are good? :S i like them they spead the truth!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jtn04:
I agree that their first couple of ads for WP7 were terrible but the latest 2 they have shown have been really good. They are finally starting to show what the os can do by talking about the Xbox live integration and the airport commerical that shows off the bing search.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamish909:
My phone was eng hboot'd, S-OFF'd and Perm Rooted via Visionary.

Now I want to return the phone to HTC.

But i was advised to do the following which i did:

1) gfree -f to do true S-OFF

2) flash stock rom

3) Do Temp Root via rage method

4) gfree -s ON to do S-ON

But my problem is but I feel I still got

Perm Root

, because after restarting the phone, Root is still there. The only difference now compare to before is SuperUser prompts me everytime I want to access Root - but if I Temp Rooted and I restarted phone, I shouldn't even be prompted at all??

I want to remove all traces that I modified anything on my phone before returning to HTC

Please advise
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
If you flashed a totally stock ROM and then did just temp root with rage, it's impossible for you to have perm root (i.e. still can get root after a reboot).

Either you flashed a pre-rooted ROM, or you did more than the temp root with rage and you perm rooted instead.

Either way you can remove the Superuser app and delete the su binary from /system/bin (you will need to be root to do this).
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamish909:
Do u think when I Perm Rooted via Visionary, that just carried over even after i flashed a clean stock ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It shouldn't have done, but I suppose it's not totally impossible ? I don't know how you flashed the ROM, and if it was from hboot, whether that does a wipe or not first.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] stormwhiz:
Hey guys

I am a new user of SGS and I was wondering if there were any lagfixes available which can be applied without rooting the phone? Heard maybe voodoo can.....

Can anyone plz telme how to apply it and if there are any others.............
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peachpuff:
Stay away from oclf would be my first suggestion, if you want to install voodoo or ulf lagfix you have to flash a kernel.

In the end it would be best to simply install a jpy based rom with a lagfix already installed, there's plenty in the dev section.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
Lagfix is demode.

Just go for the stock 2.2.1 by xeu registry hack,

Phone is faster this way, unless you do benchmarking.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] racerboy3801:
Dont use OCLF please. Its too unreliable and is only good to increase synthetic performance.

Stock jpy is very fast and samsung has much improved the RFS filesystem. Try voodoo or speedmod kernels, root is required

Sent from that Green Robot Device with a 4"screen, chewing on some froyo(with an extra .1)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
You can also try one of the custom ROMs like Darky's... should have everything you're looking for! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
I've used OCLF on JF3 and it is awesome. Earlier versions of OCLF used to start well then slow down again over time but since OCLF ver 2.2.8 all has been great.

Been stable and consistently fast for months! Phone used to SERIOUSLY lag without it especially in email and market etc.

The crucial bits of OCLF are the scheduler and MinFree settings (alongside the lagfix itself).

Using OCLF, set scheduler to Deadman, and tick both "set on reboot" and "tweaks". In MinFree menu set "strict" and tick "set on reboot". Phone will now fly. This is the easiest lagfix to apply and works well with correct settings.

Voodoo is also great, but harder to apply. Newest 2.2.1 based roms don't need a lagfix either.

Everyone had different experiences though...

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kevil:
I use OCLF, and it has made a massive difference to how usable my phone is. I was ready to scrap it before and now its great.

Its also very easy to set up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:
Use kies registry patch to spoof XEU Product code if your handset is branded, and dump 2.2.1 JPY on it. More than adequate enough. If its a sim free handset then just plug into kies and it should offer an update (UK only as far as i know)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stormwhiz:
I dnt wana void the warranty on my fone

OCLF requires rooting right?

N flashing a different ROM would also similarly void the warranty right?

Patching Kies similarly.........

Are these the only ways????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
Doubt that rooting really invalidates the warranty, so OCLF is probably fine... most people here have probably rooted their phones.

The other alternative is to use the latest official Samsung ROM (Android 2.2.1), since this shouldn't invalidate your warranty, and doesn't need a lagfix as it is much snappier. This can be updated via Kies.

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you don't really need a lag fix after you install Z4mod

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sridharrn:
Hi All,

After googling lot on improving the battery life.. I found many ways to improve the battery life. Sharing it with you..

1. Use Auto Killers - Kill all the background processes. *

2. Use in Aeroplane Mode - while you are in out of signal area. ****

3. UnderClocking - Apps available like setCPU, OverClockWidget, cpuTuner.. sets the clock frequency to lower values when screen is off. ****

4. Undervolting - make processor to work below the standard voltage. This is kernel level configuration.. not sure how to implement..

5. Use a powerful battery - there are some batteries with more mAh which last longer. ***

6. Proper Charging - ****

turn off the phone, plug it in, preferably overnight.

boot the phone up while still plugged in.

delete the batterystats.bin file ether through adb, Root Explorer or terminal

drain the battery fully, until it powers down. wait a min or two and reboot it to completely drain it.

then your phone now knows correct voltage values for 100% and dead.

Remember: Flashing a new Android build erases the battery stats, and automatically rebuilds them based on voltages it see's.so must recondition after each flash to get max battery life.

Please Reshare your view and observation...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I was out of WCDMA range for a week over Christmas (just GSM network available) and using my phone with Wifi and a bit of Bluetooth Audio (and even a bit of angry birds!) The battery lasted for.. wait for it..

5days, 3h, 27min 29sec (I put it on Charge at 23% capacity!!) so I think I could have got 6 or even 7 days out of it (not that I would let the battery get that low on purpose)! :eek:

must be some kind of record! :D

and in reply to the above post about discharging the battery.... (I don't want to bore people on here with another one of my Li-po Battery care rants so I will keep it short this time)

I wouldn't recommend discharging Li-Po batteries too often, they hate it and it can significantly reduce the over all life of the battery (which would suck for the mini) I say leave the charging up to the phone and just top up regularly using a low Amp charger (USB is good or other 500mA charger, I feel the 850mA charger that came with the phone is a bit over powered) try not to let the phone discharge until it shuts off (this is triggering a safety switch to protect the battery from damage, and its not good for it)

That is all.. carry on.

:P

whats battery duration for x10 mini pro?

with a normal / litle intensive usage, my battery must be charged every day.

Is this normal?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
I usually get 2 or 3 days. On days that I skype, I have to recharge. It depends a lot on usage. I guess that, if you don't use the smartphone capabilities, you will get an even longer battery time.

More info about the battery on the wiki.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
I was just rereading the comment of kiwi braad worst, and he might have a good point on using a low amp charger. I mostly use the charger from the usb. When I use the charger that came with the phone (850mA) I get less battery. Though, that could be placebo effect.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ezraghast:
My experience with the X10 Mini (not PRO) is that the battery life gets better over time. It's worth discharging and recharging the battery fully a couple of times and then resuming a 'normal' charge routine - let it drop below 20 or 15% and charge it until it's 80%+ charged. When I first got my phone it needed a charge every day. Now it needs one every three or more on average. I've also found that turning off the 3G aerial (allowing GSM only) and manually selecting the network operator (preventing regular polling) helped extend the time between recharges. There are widgets available that will allow quick access to those functions when needed. I will say that I'm not an 'always-on' kinda user. It's mostly a phone/music player to me, but once or twice a day I check email, browse web etc

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
The two biggest things on my battery use is the display and the cell standby.

I Turned the brightness down and that gave me abit extra. :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siidheesh:
One very good way to save battery power is to disable vibration if possible. Vibration uses two times more battery power than ringtones due to the low frequency required by the speaker. Disable vibration and save batter power.

Use an application that can edit cpufreq, like Overclock Widget and SetCPU to reduce battery power when screen turns off

Overclock widget can set different cpu max and min speeds for when screen turned on or off.

Battery Diviner can record patterns in battery usage and change performance according to your usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyworxx:
It might be a stupid question, but until now I couldn't figure out how to sync contacts from the hpone or sim card with the Google Account.

When I'm creating a new contact, I can choose where to save it (sim, phone, google), I also can export the contacts to the sd card, but how do I sync all the contacts from the phone and the sim card with google?

The reason for my question is that I thought they get synced automatically, not depending on where I save them. I did a factory reset and wipe after flashing to JPY and all my stuff was gone (obviously). But after adding my Google Account, the contacts where not there

...and see that its processor to work at low levels ....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsrzealot:
Mordon2008, I guess you're trying to say that setcpu is using a lot of cpu power? Which I don't think it does when you configure it correctly. On the other hand, if you're using a build/rom/kernel that comes with a smartass governor by default, it is true that setting up setcpu wrong might even give you a worse performance than not using setcpu at all, because it already handles energy saving during sleep and interactive scaling during load very well from what I understand (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, my answer would be that it depends on the build/rom/kernel you're using.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Personally, I don't see the use of SetCPU on NAND builds to be honest, unless you're looking to overclock your CPU (when available).

I'm not using SetCPU and i'm on my 3rd consecutive day without charging the phone. (30% left).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mordon2008:
it is impossible that you're on the third day! I do not even arrive in the evening! What do you keep it just in standby? Which rom do you have? which radio do you have?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
read my sig..

I'm not playing with the phone the entire day. I have more important things to do..like work ;)

I 'stress' the phone maybe 40 to 45 minutes a day during travelling to work. And all that stress is the internet connection and the music player

apart from the occasional calls i must say it's holding up well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsrzealot:
That's actually what I was going to add... I think there's at least one use for setcpu even with the smartass governor. I myself am using it in order to restrict the maximum frequency to about 768MHz. For my purposes, this is enough and does not make the build I am using less snappy. But it might save at least a little bit of energy and therefore improve my battery life a bit.

Greetings, tsrzealot

Personally I just go at it. Again and again.

There are two versions of odin out there and a couple of instructions on if you should put the tar in the PDA or Phone section.

I am no expert but have had the most luck with the older version of odin and the PDA section. I have no idea what the differneces are.

Good luck. . .but I believe that if DL mode is able to be gotten to you are still able to recover your phone.
