Most people don't like it therefor all people must not like it. wow, your logic is airtight. I for one don't like either bland app filled pages or laggy pages crammed full of 3 clock widgets, a messaging widget, a news widget, etc. I like a smooth fluid UI with an out-of-box experience that is rivaled by none. I like my phone to be something by which the lan wasnt "lets take apples UI and put it on an open source." Most people who dislike the OS are people who have either not tried it at all or people who have walked into a T-mobile store for 3 minutes and spent about one of them on an HD7 "OmG lyk this isss so buring it dudent have widgets to slow mai deevyce down and theres no UI customization so I cn showz the werld Im an incompetent douchebag wit my wallpapurrr. Lol." *goes to flash another version of CM just so phone will stay remotely functional.*

WP7 may be lacking in some features, but it is probably the most innovative and stylish smartphone OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Stop

Everyone, why do you react to these hijackers. They go into any thread that has any positive feedback on WP7 and start these stupid back and forth wars that eventually hijack the thread and get it closed by the mods. Don't fall for it. Several very good threads have been closed due to this. They are immature and childish people who can't stand that anyone doesn't agree with them. Like spoiled brats going to Mom to get soothed and when that doesn't happen, going to Dad and when that doesn't happen, going to Grandma. Don't play the game, they don't deserve one second of your time nor one line in this thread.

I'm in love with this phone as well. I find myself emailing pics, updating live, and facebook so much more frequently with friends now. Also, browsing with HSPA is super fast.

iOS is a great fast system no doubt, 3D games are awesome as well. But iTunes is one heavy slow piece of crap with limited compatibility when it comes to video formats.

Android is a great system as well, but it goes back to the same problems of WinMo, in that you gotta update and download a lot to have it run the way you want it to. And the billions of choices in handsets limit what kind of apps I have. That kills it.

The only thing that I tinker around with on my WP7 is the background on the lock screen :)

IMO. iOS is Windows 3.11, stuck to the program manager, all the icons there in your face. Nothing you can really do.

WP7 is the future, and if people don't see that. Then, that's fine. We don't all have the same taste in women, so why would we have the same taste in phones/OS's?

I kinda hated it hte first week but then it grew on me. We need a few core things but at the root I find it very easy to get around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MvP77:
Im a big android guy, but i really appreciate WP7. I owned a HD7 for about 2 weeks before i sold it because i didnt think it was worth it. To many things i can do on my My Touch 4G that i couldnt do on my HD7. I was on the fence when i sold it of if i should sell it or the HD2 but the HD2 is to versitile so i kept it.

After a couple days of selliing my HD7 i started to miss it. I missed being able to use my Zune pass without being on wifi and I missed using netflix (although Android has some great TV streaming apps.)

I now have WP7 on my HD2 and im defiantly buying the best HTC made WP after the Mango update. This is a great OS and once they loosen up some API add multitasking and add Front facing cam it will be even better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TJ72:
I love the OS also and think the potential is fantastic :)

If we REALLY took a poll, i think you would be declared mentally disabled with the intelligence of a wooden block.

But back on topic, it's nice to see a thread appreciating the OS. I certainly do. I'm one of the users who used to do nothing but flash WM6/6.5 any spare minute i had. Sinc having WP7, i've not once felt the need to do it. How can you make the smoothest OS run smoother :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Thanks for nothing

You brought a lot to the table and certainly missed the point of this thread. I can actually say that you don't belong in this thread. I am still convinced that people like you live in fear that MS will be successful. You can't stand that, it drives you crazy, so you spend your time hijacking threads and trying to get them closed down. Won't work. Stay out of this thread if you can't stand the topic. How off base can you possibly be.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyme2fly12:
Hey guys I have a quick question about receiving double and sometimes triple text messages. I just flashed the newest Axura Rom on my vibrant coming from stock Eclair 2.1. I keep receiving double and triple text messages and I have tried renaming the mms.apk via Root Explorer but then my messaging app is just gone. Also tried using terminal command "message -aosp" but that didn't work either. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Do you have mutliple apps, like handcent, go sms and the stock messanger?

I imagine you do and just have notifications for both apps... maybe not, but that is my first guess.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyme2fly12:
Nope I had handcent but uninstalled it and I don't see any other messaging apps other than the one that came with axura. I've looked in apps, titanium backup, and root explorer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Are the notification icons all the same?

If they are the same, do you receive mutiple notifications, or is it that the SMS is just received multiple times in the same thread?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyme2fly12:
I only get one notification but double or triple sms

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^^^ that has happened to me on the stock rom. That is not necessarily an axura issue then.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyme2fly12:
Yeah I'm thinking that's the only option I have left. I'm pretty new to all this stuff, would I have to go back to stock and then re flash or is it ok if it's the same rom to flash right over it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
I wouldn't go back to stock to reflash that same rom. You might do a cache wipe and go to advance and wipe dalvik tho.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juinny:
I'm having the same problem. I'm receiving two identical text over a period of 5 minutes usually.

I'm on stock rom though it only started recently.

Any idea on fixing this without flashing a new rom? I'm on the Bell i9000m and I'm sure you've all heard how unstable it is to flash it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I see this is being discussed over in the Facinate forum as well.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Quote from the article says it all: "So what is Samsung doing? I’m not really sure at this point. Everything points to the company being more dead set on sales numbers instead of keeping the people that have made them millions happy."

[Captivate General] jwood55812:
I disagree, Samsung has made available updates to Froyo for UK customers, Canadian customers, and now US cellular customers, I'm still placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of ATT and other US Carriers.

[Captivate General] nooomoto:
I'd rather keep my current customers happy so they will keep coming back and keep buying my new products. Customer satisfaction is the name of the game. Besides, it's not like pushing 2.2 is going to mean that no one buys the newer handset. They are targeting a very niche market, a market that thrives on having the newest thing the first day it comes out. This same market will drop you like a rock if you don't keep them satisfied with their purchases.

Why do Apple fan boys keep buying Apple products? Because they are happy and satisfied. I doubt you'd find a comparative percentage of Samsung Galaxy S line owners feeling the same way.

The simple fact that the developers and community here at XDA, as well as other forums provide more support than Samsung does speaks volumes.

There's a number of reasons I don't like Apple and their products. But I was an Iphone 3G owner for a period of time. I had a problem, which was made into a bigger problem by a "Genius". I called Apple and the problem was solved within 24 hrs. That is customer service. That is customer satisfaction. That is why people keep buying Apple products and choking on Apple cawk.

I hardly feel any love from Samsung, I believe that many here share my view.
[Captivate General] Punxx:
I concur with this.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
If it is indeed AT&T that is stifling the update, then Samsung should say so. Sony did this with the Xperia X10. They put out a press release telling their angry customers that AT&T was to blame for the lack of updates.

It's worse for Samsung as a company to just keep promising updates that never come, then it is for them to direct us to be angry at the responsible entity.
[Captivate General] oni1jz:
Just dl a rom already xD
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
I did. I'm currently running Phoenix 3.0 and loving it. This is just a discussion about Samsung/AT&T/updates. That being said, when the next generation of phones comes out, I'm jumping ship.

[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I don't think you'll be alone in that regard.

MAN OVERBOARD!!!
[Captivate General] Xstop:
They already have you for 2yr contract, and most won't pay for the cancellation fee. So their rush on updates, eh, their (Samsung and AT$T) not.

Opinion: Their main concern right now is not the update, but Verizon getting the Iphone. So I am assuming updates are least of their problems, especially if they already got you for 2yrs. Only good thing coming out of this, we see the next generations of android phones coming out.

That is why competition is good, but for customer support....I think we all get the shaft. :mad:
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
I am betting on CM6.11 or CM7 working.

as far as I am concerned we will never see another update from att.

I just want something official so someone can build a new ROM off of it and the GPS, Bluetooth, Audio out, lights, etc all work and I'm not fighting with an i9000 ROM.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Not sure where you saw that. It was not a AT&T or HTC decision. Microsoft only allowed official WM 6.5 updates for phones with the "Windows" button on them. Since the Fuze had a "home" button, it did not qualify for WM 6.5. If AT&T had held it back, then other Raphael, Diamond, and/or Blackstone handsets (Verizon TP, etc) would have gotten WM 6.5. In fact none of the Raphael, Diamond, or Blackstone phones got WM 6.5.
[Captivate General] jjtitus098:
I am certainly happy enough with all the ROMS on here that I don't care as much for an official release. My phone does everything I want it to do, so im happy. But I DO think its pretty crappy to not update the phones, especially for the users that don't visit this forum. Its typical business and unfortunately the customer is always the one to get shafted.

[Captivate General] ryude:
You know what? Even if this phone never gets 2.2 it'd still be better than 80% of any other android phones out there. I've had 12 android phones within the last 2 years, and I can tell you that this phone is "almost" perfect.

Sometimes I think people like to have a bad guy to point fingers at, but I always say... Haters Gonna Hate!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I agree. I was almost in a position to return my Cappy and go back to my Tilt 2 for a little while. After a month with the Captivate I just couldn't go back to that thing for even a day. It was a good phone for the 8 months I used it, but compared to the Cappy, it would be masochistic to try using it again.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Well, when I had Samsung Epix with at&t, they did release windows mobile 6.5 ROM offically. I dont know about that its on blame with Samsung and at&t for that issue. We do not know the real reason why we arent getting froyo on our captivates right away. We will see, anyhow.
[Captivate General] SimonNWalker:
It depends on your long term goals.

What's the point of producing new handsets of people don't trust you anymore.

There's a fine line between profitability vs longevity and I think it's already been crossed.
[Captivate General] ady:
I'm guessing that most of you also go to the bakery everyday, wanting a fresh bread for free because you bought one last week and after all, what is this new bread except an updated version of the one you bought?

Or go to the car dealer, asking him to add the new navigation, suspension or xxx feature that came out with the new model since you bought a car from them 5 years ago and what is this new car but just a refresh of the original one?

Updates are in no way different. While it is a nice gesture for a company to update a phone each time a new version of android comes out, it is in no way their obligation. The cost of the phone is irrelevant since there are much more pricey things that you are used to not being updated for free (your house, for example).

Also, lets be honest to ourselves here. We are not loyal to any company. We buy whatever is the best available device in our price range.

Lastly, a fact check. All Galaxy S handsets are updated to Froyo throughout the world. It is only US which hasn't. perhaps the fault lies with your Mobile service provider, and not Samsung.
[Captivate General] RyanFromQA:
As a former iPhone user, I think AT&T, at least, is holding up the update, and I think there are fairly obvious and logical reasons for that.

AT&T's network kinda sucks. Let's admit it. I get fewer bars everywhere I work play, and live than my Verizon counterparts, and SOMETIMES, even T-Mobile people get more bars than me.

AT&T has gotten a lot of flak over their network with the iPhone and they do have to bear the weight of all the iDevice users (for a while anyway).

One thing they really hate is tethering. They held it up on the iOS devices for quite a while, but it didn't star there. iPhone users had to wait MONTHS to have MMS enabled on their devices, whereas people with dumphones were walking around picture messaging each other for years.

So, when it comes to an unknown quantity of data increase on their network, AT&T is VERY cautious.

Why do I bring this up? What is it that's included in Froyo? Tethering! Out of the box, Froyo allows you to tether your phone and AT&T can't do a thing to stop it. They can't disable it until they verify that you have their $20 tethering addon, like they can with iOS 4.3.

Google doesn't give two craps about their paranoia, and they won't and don't build these kind of controls into Android. So it's up to the handset manufacturers to work these things out. So Samsung has to build in tethering control into Android 2.2 in order for AT&T to push out 2.2 OTA. And while Samsung pushed out a Rogers update to 2.2 in Canada over Kies, Rogers isn't supporting it. Both Rogers and Samsung know that the only people willing to jump through all the hoops to get that 2.2 update are most likely willing to put a custom ROM on their phones, and get free tethering anyway.

I would bet my bottom dollar that if and when Samsung/AT&T/T-Mobile release their 2.2 update, it will include some kind of control (AT&T Hotspot(R)) over tethering.

And since they're effing around with the internals of the OS, they're probably screwing it up, so that's what's taking so long.
[Captivate General] liquid blue:
Are you serious? Your comparisons are no where near what's going on. Yes, Samsung would get $0 for the update, but they would in return retain customers for other phones. As it stands I see plenty of people not willing to buy Samsung (anything) again. And I was looking at a new TV to purchase. Besides, they have been taunting 2.2 since launch. In your comparisons you're making it seem like everyone that owns a Galaxy S is demanding for a Nexus S as replacements just because we feel entitled. Never did the bakery nor the car dealership promise me a newer car or a fresh loaf of bread. But, yes I agree the US carriers are at fault here too. But I imagine getting answers from the big 3 would prove to be even more difficult.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I wouldn't be surprised if AT&T is the bigger culprit, although, Samsung has been unable or unwilling to deploy Froyo to any of the Galaxy S variants in the US, whether by design or otherwise. There may be blame on both sides.

Also - AT&T is touting mobile hotspot and Froyo with the CES-announced products. It's unclear whether the vendors are mucking with the Android functionality to make it happen, but it's not as though they are completely preventing it. I just suspect that they want it much more controlled than the base platform allows.

All that being said, all of us are just speculating, and it's a shame that neither company is willing to say anything more than very bland, lawyer-crafted responses whenever the question comes up.

My Captivate is owned by my employer, so I am less willing to throw a custom ROM onto it (although I already had to root the sucker to get MobileAP onto it), but it sure would be nice to use the built in tools of Froyo than having to roll my own.

So long as the carrier-subsidized model remains dominant, I think we will be stuck with this unsatisfying situation.
[Captivate General] bames:
i don't believe the situation is just Samsung holding it up. If they are i believe its because some kind of disagreement between att and samsung.

Rogers already pushed froyo out to the captivate in canada.

its speculation of course so i wouldn't represent it as anything other.....but if i were to speculate i would say something going on behind the scenes between at&t and samsung thats causing a stalemate (for example a disagreement on something at&t wants implemented or crippled)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You seems to forget that EPIX WM6.50 is released way way late (almost a year later after every body else got WM6.50 IIRC).

I'm pretty sure we will eventually get Froyo on Captivate.... when our Captivates are sitting in desk drawers collecting dust and every Android phones out there are rocking Android 2.4 already (2.4 is targetted for this summer).
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Tethering is already removed from the last leak (JJ4). Almost all the features in Android can be selectively taken out by the request of carrier.

AT&T also removed DIVX playback in all Captivate ROMs that all other versions of Galaxy S are capable of (and certified by Divx) so that it can save a few pennies of license cost.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
When you purchase an anti-virus, do you expect to only download the product once and get no updates? Or if you purchase a windows or Mac PC, do you expect to never get a service pack or update? When you've been sold a car with faulty brakes, do you not expect a recall and replacement for those?

We've been sold a device that as part of it's price includes support for x amount of years. That support includes updates to fix stuff that is broken. It's not a "nice to have," its a "I paid for it, now you fulfill your end of the bargain."
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
What crappy analogies. When it comes to a software-controlled device (these phones are basically handheld computers), updates are expected. And you conveniently glossed over the fact that Froyo is a promised update for these phones. Samsung not only promised it on their website, they did so in the press. They've also been selling Galaxy S-specific accessories (home and car docks, for example) that promise a Froyo update that will unlock features in those accessories. We aren't a bunch of whiners demanding something we have no right to expect. We're a group of consumers expecting Samsung to follow through on their promises. Too bad you can't see that.
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
I was going to reply also, but you said it much better than I probably would have.

I would agree with the statement though and is probably/maybe part of the business equation for some of the Samsung/ATT market? My wife and child have Captivates and they couldn't care less about the update, but I do.
