Are u guys still running WM7 or jumped back to android ?

Is there a option to run WM7 and android form SD card or sld I still wait to flash WM7 ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] badassballer:
Keeping WP7 For now - i am not sure about anyone else but i find it to be more stable compared to the android builds etc in terms of functionality and stuff - Far as running WP7 and android from sd card at the same time is concerned, i think that is not a possibility for now with the way WP7 uses the sd card upon installation -
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] waichai:
Not now, will keep using WP7 for while. For me, i like android more than WP7. Android can do more stuff for me than WP7. Movie playback on Android is the best, no need to do any converting to the right format.

Yeah, I'm still sticking with it.. at least for now. Having fun exploring the market and I just love the smoothness of the UI :D

Well, about the dual boot thing, some folks already posted about it. Here :

I personally doesn't like the idea of partitioning my beloved android sd card so I bought a new one to use with the WP7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DennisCSUF:
Will test it out for at least another week. I was running MIUI Android build from SD and it was next to perfect, switch to Android on NAND and it's been hit in miss (not that fast or stable as the SD versions)

But to cut the story short I'm keeping WP7 for now the only issues right now is the sound is way to loud, lack of apps (if you think is bad on Android its even worse on WP7 :p) and the touchscreen still has issues.

Im going to be staying WP7 - it's works absolutely perfectly, i get no data drops, no screen freezes, and i just love the UI... sticking with it :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] birdra:
will be going back to android tomorrow. i absolutely dislike the iphone-like OS restrictions in wp7. also, where can i turn off all those annoying animations?waiting for the animation to end when clicking something isn't much different from a lag.

ui is okay, but tbh adw launcher EX on android is better.

overall wp7 isn't as bad as i thought, but i'd prefer an open system any day.

MS really screwed up, winMO's advantage always was the open system. now android took that place, so i'll stick with it.

even a battery widget with % display is IMPOSSIBLE on wp7 because of restrictions. thats HILARIOUS..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 0711:
i am not sure...wp 7 is great, runs smoth but i dont like the locked down **** (zune/no mass storage, no myphone/backup function yadayada) and i miss one important free application for me (live soccer scores for the second german bundesliga).

For the moment i will stay with wp7, cause of smooth running...maybe i will go back to win mobile....android has more disadvantages for me than the two windows versions (especially in contacts management).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Ultimaex:
When i first booted up wp7 and tried to setup/transfer files i was sure i will move back to android in less than an hour. the OS is extremely restricted.

Now im using it two days because of the smooth inverface and no time to flash. Im sure I will flash back to Android tomorrow :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DJTJ:
I'll stick with WP7 for at least a week or so, Give devs a chance to work a little magic with Roms

I love to way WP7 runs, like it was meant for this device... but I love the complete freedom of Android.

I'm most impressed by the boot time, its crazy compared to Android. :D

I'm going to keep WP7 until Monday to show the guys at work who are interested in getting WP7 phones, them I'm straight back to Android. WP7 is worse than the iPhone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mideel:
I'm totally blinded from this smoothness of WP7.

I love the UI, especially the contacts-hub with facebook-updates and the ui-colors I can set.

Just when I think I now know every app at the marketplace, I still find one that is interesting :D

The boot time is excellent too.

The only things someone has to change for me, is the missing camera-autofocus, the loud speaker and the terrible battery life (lasts about half of a day with radio 2.15.50.14 and 1-2 hours of wifi, some downloads and textmessages).

I'll leave it for a while.

I'm sticking with it, everything it does it does really well. The keyboard is the best I've used by far!

I have to complete ilomilo too! :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] meletios:
Pros...

best keyboard I have used.

data connection like stock winmo

email and msging interface is good

Plays YouTube very nicely

Interface is very smooth.

Cons..

really hate UI restrictions..

reminds more of IPhone

dislike the home screen

marketplace is bad..i mean interface

battery drained in 4 hours

In nutshell..yes back to mdj 2.4 band android tomorrow :)

Nice while it lasted..by the way spent 3 hours to install it and getting the activation code working

will i keep windows phone 7 on my HD2 ?

Ohh man ... i must say ... seeing windows phone on my HD2 really convinced me that this phone is a wonder in a lot of ways... just see how many OS flavours you have!

I craved windows phone since i seen it for the first time months ago ... will be keeping this one on this phone ... it just works as you like!

As the devs @ Microsoft said, it's really a deferent kind of phone!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mafyoo:
Still using it since it was first leaked. Very nice and smooth, although i do miss android i think ill be keeping this since it is much more stable!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tenthbowl:
I got really bad reception when I flashed it last night. I'm using the 2.15.50.14 radio and wifi and phone frequently disconnected, even though I had no such problems with Android. It was fun to try, but I think I will stick with Android little bit longer.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] qatramiz:
OOOOOOOOOOOOH, I do not know what to say... I like wp7 but No sat Nav!! no door to door with voice! come on MS this Map software is rubbish .

More likely I will go back to android or wm6.5

BTW wp7 is nothing compare to WM6.5, WM6.5 is complete OS and sadly with no support from developer.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mike21pr:
Im sticking with it for now... I mean, i was looking for another HD7 since i gave mine away... No more!!! It runs just as good besides the speaker and buggy multitouch.

Plus, how good does it feel to have an OS optimized for this CPU. Runs so stable for me and battery (at least for me) isnt as bad as i have seen reported, guess i am one of the lucky few

Edit: i just noticed... If i press a bit harder, multitouch works without issues, prolly a sensor issue

It was a fun ride, but imma stay with android. It's too limited for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NFRCER:
It's a keeper for me. It shall keep me entertained until the next batch of new cell phones comes in.

But now.. please guys.. Is there any reason why so many ppl are bashing MS left and right? They have done some stupid stuff indeed, but I think that they might be slow on the WP7 progress, but its coming along steady. To think that many ppl judge WP7 with a "M$" attitude tells me you haven't exactly given your best honest try at it.

I mean come on.. XDA wouldn't have existed if WE didn't collectively got together and did something about it. The truth is, when I bought WinMo I knew exactly where I was heading into; Dead on arrival as some say.

Yet it was exactly why I liked it, do what you want with it. Now I'm tired of doing all that, I did my personal custom rom, I did everything I could possibly imagine that I wanted to do. Now I just wanna sync to my Zune software and have some freedom to a certain extent. Give it some more thought, it shall be "Open" with some more maturity time. That doesn't mean I'm giving up my "rights" to MS and take it in. Its more like, there's a whole crap load of "features" that many want and don't even use more than once in a blue moon :).

I don't need a Swiss Army tool that half of the things don't work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
As I have a ZTE Blade as a second device, I will stay witth WP7. I don't really need 2 Android phones int jacket and I really like WP7 for now despite the restrictions. Ilove hacking my phones and most stuff can be hacked in WP7.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] THUDUK:
I thought I would try this windows phone business out, been really enjoying android builds but missed the more business oriented windows mobile with office.

Must admit I thought I would be installing android back on without a hesitation but WP7 is really rather good, the keyboard is fantastic especially in landscape typing with two thumbs, everything simply works so fast and smoothly my email accounts sync flawlessly, the people Facebook updates are fantastic, could do with some toggle switches for WiFi, bt, airplane etc...the camera seems to need sorting, but for me the biggest problem is this rediculous activation, now in UK the assitants on the phone apparently not giving out codes without serial numbers, so unless I can obtain a code I will have to go back to wm and SD android
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] leewenxu:
Tried for 2 days and now back to Android. I love the smoothness of the UI and etc. I finally understood the point of having a simple UI/OS and at least it doesn't give me robotic voice every reboot. But due to its current disadvantages or issues, I'm now back to Android. I'm fine with no GPS software to go with it but Market without Live Services is really crap and I'm not keen to call up Microsoft as they're more aware now. Secondly, I find it that it is very dependent on the physical keys and wearing it down faster. Unlike Android, they have Button Saviour. Well, the biggest issue for me is unable to charge the phone if its off and this is very dangerous for me as I have no spare battery for HD2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Nakazul:
Im staying. But im longing for activation. Also annoying that have this random freezes. Hope the great job achived so far can be taken the last steps.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Renegade_Rulez:
I used it for about 2 days but I was really missing all the nice android apps and went back :)

The UI is really nice and smooth but it is too limited and calling Microsoft for an activation key feels like a crime to me hehe.

Anyway it was better than I thought it would and it's ideal for people that just want a phone with sms/web/email and nothing extra to configure.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jonny4911:
i love it, it's smooth and stable, plus i got my activation key, so even if i switch back to android i can just flash it back on ;)

and that dual boot thing sounds good to me!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Dizzle:
It's nice but...

I've tried this twice and even got my activation code. Lovely smooth and fast UI, really quick to navigate through. However apps aren't that quick and also it is extreeemly limited compared to Android where there is an app for everything. It does feel more suited to our HD2's but WP7 is too young and immature, back to Android......
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] maxld:
I will stick with WP7 forever, for sure :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] MarvinTheAndroid:
Interesting comments, with a good mix of people sticking with it / reverting back to Android/WM6.5

I wonder how many people would stick with WP7 if the Android interface could be made as smooth. Is this at all possible with android?

It's been nice, but I'm already missing my Android apps and the notification area.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ATLDON:
I am keeping WM7. Android has many more apps but the hit or miss signal quality of Android is very annoying.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hlvl:
I switched back to Android next day.

It was enough for me to play for few hours with it. WP7 simply missing all my beloved apps.

"Zune" interface is worst on the market. I didn't see anything more stupid in my life - it is just a waist of space on the screen.

It is a shame for such a big company as M$.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JRK-Scope:
Waiting for #WP7 to receive some updates. Then I'll consider it, but right now Android is where it's at. I might eventually replace my HD2 (and my lumbering Vaio) with the hotness that is the Moto Atrix :D However I will keep the HD2 for general messing about. Maybe try to port WebOS to it :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 05081983:
frankly when I first flashed WP7 on my HD2, I did not really like the concept of tile UI.

But then when I started using it more and more I really fell in love with it, according to me its a good UI and the transitions are so smooth I really do not miss android at all.

So for now I am keeping WP7 on my HD2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] axman79:
Applications that are remaining running on background, Zune sucks, so I'm back on Android for now
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] -NRG-:
I will keep it since it feels more complete to me as android.

Smooth animations easy en clear and consistent interface, no useless widgets, most important apps on the home screen. I like Zune since i used it for my zune 80gb, looks really nice.

But the bugs do need to be solved, miss the copy past function proper multitouch, auto brightness and sound quality and loudness problems need to get solved (and other buggs posted in the special topic.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ajsullivan:
Im keeping it. I hated the data drops with android though i did love the plethora of apps. I also have the activation code, so i can use market etc.

I have encountered a couple of random freezes (2secs max) though theyre not very often at all. It has also restarted once or twice, though i am keeping an eye on that for now.

All in all very very good. LOVE the integrated facebook/contacts thing, awesome.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] radarhunter:
I kept the WM7 for just 1 day and went back to Android....

Too many restrictions in WM7.....

Plus except new animations plus a very very very smooth scroll there is nothing special in WM7 fo be kept..... I am sure the Nandroid shall have the same scrolling after a few tweaks here and there by the developers.....

WM7 is good when it is for the PC but WM7 Mobile is a ****ty thing.... One thing that attracted was Scrolling but for how long will one be happy with just that thing........

Plus with Zune it became ****tier.... It is just like another iphone with all those restrictions.... I am glad I have HD2 so can experiment will almost anything... But for now my votes are for Nandroid....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] KrewsialNL:
I'm sticking to WP7 until MS allows 'us' too :)

1. Better battery then Android

2. I'm not a tweaker like most of you, i just want a phone that works, where EVERYTHING works. Where with Android there's always something that remains 'shady' in functionality (no offence, this is not to trash Android or the Devs ;) )

3. Plain, simple, smooth. Looking at Windows Mobile OS, this is a huge step forward for Microsoft.

NOTE: I still am a huge fan of Android, I am not trashing Android in any way. I like to try new things and for now, I will be sticking to WP7 because of the above reasons :)

If for whatever reason Microsoft is going to hunt all the 'illegal' WP7 users, I will still be happy to go back to Android. I will however, never return to WM 6.5 :p

I installed WP7 Saturday morning and since Microsoft don't open again until Monday I switched back to my desire hd Rom. I will install WP7 again tomorrow and get my activation code and explore more. From what I have tried it is very smooth to use, has a fantastic keyboard and love the look of the smart tiles. Would love to choose background image and customize the tiles in different ways than just the colours provided.

Saying that though, the g1 which was android first phone was released in October 2008. Android is now 26 months old and look how long it too to get a custom build running on our hd2. Now WP7 is 2 months old, we have it on our devices and announced 6000 apps available in the market place.

We need to give the devs here chance to work their magic. I'm going to explore the market place once I get activated and really test out WP7.

First I would like to thank all you geniuses out there that made this possible. Second, i really dont know... I will keep it for a bit.. wish it didnt take over the sd. Now if I found a 32gb micro sd I would get both OS's in a heartbeat. WP7 definately seems like the dumbest of the smartphone OS's Ive tried but it is stable and does what its supposed to... had too many times where the phone part of android wouldnt work.. All the app choices are awesome on android but I'll be damned if I have a phone that i cant use as a phone, so for now Ill have WP7 for a bit.. maybe till i can upgrade even

I'm keeping WP7. customization cannot compare to android. However basic functionality and smoothness is better.

This is exactly what I want to do, but with a 32gb (16 for each) because even 16gb for wp7 seems too little with the zune music.. I cant imagine how bad it is with 8gigs... eesh, thats like what.. 500 songs maybe? idk, WP7 is storage hungry
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] trane071120:
When I first time read about the limitations and that stuff I thought I will never use this UI. But then a few days ago it was leaked, so i decided to give it a chance.

Today, a few days later and a lot of hours with testing it, i think realy that wp7 is much better as i thought.

I will use for minimum one week more.

For me there are only few Bugs.

- Bluetooth doesn't pair perfect

- Battery drainage is a little bit to heavy

So on, I think for a first release its very good.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Pixa1:
i had WP7 for about a day, and the UI got me sick, the lack of posibility to low down the alarm volume also got me sick, not able to get me key from MS also made me sick. I was pretty sick the whole day :)

So i got back to Android after one day, maybe i'll return when MS updates with SP1 :) as for now everything that came from MS was bad until SP1 :)

p.s. i believe that Android would be much smoother than wp7 if the UI was as simple as wp7

Since this thread is post in the WP7 forum, most posts will be supporting WP7 fro sure.

I have tried it for two days, disappointed by the very limited UI and features! It is not customizable, and it misses a lot of functionalities.

The biggest problem is the Arabic support, I can't write in Arabic since there is no Arabic keyboard. It is very annoying that you need to scroll about 600 contact in order to get the wanted one.

Anyway, I like the smoothness of the UI. and I think that android has the same smoothness on native mobiles as I saw.

I will stuck with WM for a while in order to make an Arabic Keyboard, then I will return to Android for sure.

Sticking with WP7 because it's smoother, more intuitive and makes more sense to me. I don't need a million apps, but rather a phone that works very well at calling, texting, accessing information and connecting to the internet. On these criteria, WP7 has been much better for me.

I might dual-boot at some point down the line.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Uziel144:
Never thought I'd become a fan of WP7, but smoothness and responsivity are simply convincing in my eyes. The main functionality imho is similar in any kind of smartphone os and so there are big advantages in using Android or WM6.5.

There indeed are more apps, gimmicks and functions available in Android, but that is just a matter of time, i guess ... and hope.

At this moment, it works best for me and I haven't faced those cruel cruel restrictions till now...
