Only because you asked for it (jk).

Chinese "clones" all the way! First FM tuners, first analog TV tuners, first DTV tuners, first out of the box dual boot, penta-band, quad sim and so on. If it will fit in a phone they put it in or make the phone bigger. If you think I'm joking, look here:

http://www.merimobiles.com/COOL_BPHONE_Linux_trackball_5_0_digital_TV_WIF_p/meri0254.htm

To bad these "clone" have horrible quality as a whole.
[EVO 4G General] Active_Matrix:
I couldnt have said it better myself!
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
the HD2 had a 4.3" screen first.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
same thing here... my last phone was a htc vogue that I never even knew could be modded until I got the evo and found xda
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
the evo definately broke new grounds.. all these new phones need to pay homage to the bringer.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The only thing that the EVO did first was psuedo 4G, every thing else was done by some other phone first. Revolutionary? No way. Really good featured phone? Yeah.
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
How is it psuedo 4g? HSPA+ is psuedo 4g, Sprint is allowed to use the term 4g because there wasn't a standard when they started using it, but they ARE allowed to use it. I'll agree its not the fastest thing in the world or anything but still.

The iphone brought smartphones to the masses (even stupid people can use an iphone). The evo brought android to the masses.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I know that there was a change to what can be rightfully called 4g but Clear at its fastest still isn't faster than HSPA+ at its fastest. On top that, I was already pulling 4-5 Mbps on a non-HSPA+ phone on ATT HSPA during the summer before the EVO's launch. 4-10 Mbps really wasn't the giant leap I was expecting, especially since its use case was severely limited due to it's high power consumption and poor signal in buildings.

...and the EVO brought Android to the masses? Are you kidding? People still call my EVO a Droid.
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Verizon made the public aware of Android by heavily commercializing the Droid line of phones. Therefore any Android you will have will be referred to as a Droid because the common public is dumb and believes anything that is hyped up.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Nothing like it? Symbian/Blackberry/WM6.5 were nothing like it?

Only thing Apple did was make it more accessible to the public and gloss the **** out of it.

Not revolutionary.
[EVO 4G General] lvav06:
I agree and disagree, you see Apple/ mac is beyond great at marketing, but the only thing that Iphone did was put all those features in ONE device!!

I recall HP Ipaq (one with a rotating camera), and Motorola a1200 Ming for touch screen, Samsung had a motion sensor on a sprint flip phone, it was used to play a dice game. But there was no great marketing for the hp devices.

See Apple/Mac did creative marketing to make it feel like you HAVE to have one to be cool and trendy and if you own one you are part of the cool group, at least that is what I gather.

it's funny how Apple makes it seem like they are great, but industry wise Palm before the merger used to have along list of patents like no other. and some stuff is just great no matter how much or how little marketing is made.

take for example, during the auto bust when manufactures were loosing money one company grew by 18% it was an import and it was not Honda nor Toyota. it was Subaru, and the reason was that when a Subaru owner decides to buy another car, their next car is a Subaru.

Toyota has had a major recall/ car issue in the past few years, Honda i have not seen has not or has not had one that was in the media, Subaru has very few recalls. For me quality is very well at Subaru, and is the one manufacture that ALL their cars are on the iihs top safety picks for 2010, not just one.

Not saying that Honda, toyota and other imports make crap cars, and some may argue that Subaru style is lacking, and i may agree, i like functionality over form.

I am a minimalist but the Iphone is not for me.

Android is good, the Evo is my first introduction to android, and i agree with everyone it is a phone that has not me eyeballing other phone whatsoever. I am eagerly awaiting what Palm/HP has in store for mobile devices this year. and probably will jump back to webOS when 2.0 and the new device on spring comes out on sprint, if the specs are similar or better than Evo.
[HD7 General] atlp99:
I just read a thread on Tmonews that got me thinking, it has been 3 months since WP7 launched and there have been no updates. Microsoft was discussing updates even before launch with regards to copy and paste.

What are your opinions on the lack of updates? Is 3 months too long for the first update?

I think Microsoft is taking too long getting the first update out, since they are trying to rebuild their reputation in the mobile OS field. Also they are missing out on sales from customers waiting for features to be added that have been promised in updates (copy/ paste and multiple calendar syncing).
[HD7 General] Gibsonusa:
Could be worse. Lol. Just saying. Other than updates is it a decent phone?
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
It's been way too long. At first it was January, then early next year and now the latest rumours are Q1.

I'm hoping something comes before MWC otherwsie all those new phone for the platform will not have too much of a chance.

Microsoft really needs to improve this. Rather release small bug fixes then wait months to apply a 'service pack'.
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
I have yet to come across an instance where I needed copy/paste or missed it.

So, I don't care. They could never release an update and I'll still think this OS rocks.
[HD7 General] deeman:
Extremely disappointed in the fact we haven't had no updates from microsoft after 3 months and not even a confirmed date or month for the first so called update I'm so fed up with having to reboot my phone because marketplace is not working they should think more about us early adopters and release bug fixes on a more regular basis.
[HD7 General] Sean D.:
Does it really effect what you do/need or is it important to you because you feel inadequate in the ongoing mobile device internet d!ck measuring contests?

In other words, quit crying.
[HD7 General] atlp99:
I don't see why Microsoft is not pushing smaller updates more frequently, especially since they made such a big deal out of the fact that update would come straight from Microsoft and not the manufacturers.

I was just curious to see what you guys who are using WP7 on a daily basis thought.
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I don't get it I remember back in the days of the Windows Vista release everyone *****ed and complained "Microsoft released it to soon because it had a lot of bugs". Same thing here, then if all you whiners would get your update now I most definitely put my money on seeing those posts *****ing about that their update was to soon because it still has a lot of bugs". Your dammed if you do huh! LOL.
[HD7 General] THUDUK:
Updates can be a real pain for application developers and in this case they will be trying to implement the cut and paste options, I think Microsoft are doing it right, make sure what they do update works and is correct before releasing to the world, the worst thing they can do is release an update that needs patching, we don't want to see WP7 following the route of iOS, anyway the first update is coming on the 7th Feb not far to wait.
[HD7 General] Trimegisto:
Are you sure about 7th Feb?

Honestly, I can't wait to see how the system will evolve and I really miss some of the things I had on the WinMo 6.5
[HD7 General] atlp99:
Where have you heard Febuary 7?

I have not heard anything officially or unofficially since the original rumor of January, which did not materialize.
[HD7 General] digime:
I'm not so much concerned about the timing of this update as the lack of information on future updates.

We've been told about Mango but that's scheduled for way later in the year (plus the timing will slip).

The first update is pretty minor considering the number of things that need fixing, features that need adding and API's that need opening up.

MS will screw this up if they can't pump out some significant improvements and fast.
[HD7 General] fnordelus:
I'm kind of bothered by the lack of updates here's why:

They made such a big deal pre-launch about the updates and kind of used it as selling poing in most interviews I've seen

There are some well documented bugs some of which seem really important

It's the least they could do, "Harvest" was a launch title that MS used to really push the platform, and everyone knows that the game crashes (beyond resolution some times) forcing you to start all over. I'm not a big gamer, and I eventually beat the game but c'mon!

I think WP7 users have been really patient they should show us some love, if not by releasing the update in a timely manner, then at least by keeping us informed on the progress, and not keeping us in the dark

My phone evolution = WM<Android<WP7 but I'm growing really concerned. Especially when I have to keep my Nexus1 bedside because my phone gets frozen when my alarm tries to go off, or the sound stops working and requires a reboot (well documented issues).

I'm not really complaining because I can always put my SIM card in my Nexus1, HD1, HD2, or some other phones I have, but I really love WP7 and have hope for the OS.
[HD7 General] evolutionqy7:
If i didnt love the UI i would have never bought it. But it seems i keep getting more disappointed every day. Just waiting for that update to fix all the issues. Wrecks my head sometimes
[HD7 General] Tunisiano32:
Can they give us a date or what fixes will go to the first update ?

I don't think we are asking much.

I love my HD7 and WM7 that's why I'm excited about the new update.
[HD7 General] Sean D.:
Far too much of this. Or too many of you got "lemons".

Just sayin'.
[HD7 General] evolutionqy7:
I know its fustrating now :S even had thoughs of selling the HD7 and get DHD. Though i will wait out till the update and see how things are then. It better be a damn good update!!

I see alot of software related bugs.

Marketplace freezes, Some sort of software bug makes screen go weird. The video cam settings wont stay at 720p. Just if they could increase the performance of pivot and panorama apps i would be happy. My most fav social feeds and facebook and twitter app lag like **** and make me use the browser version to go look at my feeds. Really MS needs to hire either more people or give the existing people a kick up their hole to speed up. The whole world watching and the longer they delay this the worse its gonna get for the users who gave them their money.

You can try that but no guarantee that it will work.you may run into problems and have to flash back to odin then you will be sol with out a computer
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxracer101:
You should be fine flashing from one version to another. If you enabled lagfix I'd disable that first, and to be on the safe side do a CWM backup, but other than that you should be fine. I've been flashing another ROM back and forth without going stock many times without issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
You can go and flash custom ROMs on top of each other and it might work, but don't be surprised if you boot into Cog 3.04 and have to deal with a bunch of force closes or other weird behavior.

I ALWAYS recommend people flash back to stock and Master Clear/GSM Master Reset. That gives you a blank slate to work with. It takes less than 10 minutes, but some just believe that's too much work/time for them.

Your call.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
OK, first off, this has been beaten to death.

Second, the policy has recently changed. This fee is now applied to all smartphones, regardless of whether they are 4G capable or not. Sprint always tried to claim that the fee was not a "4G tax," but was intended to cover the costs of rising data usage among users of smartphones -- high end phones in particular, which all happen to also support 4G. Whether or not that was true or fair, that was the policy. But it's irrelevant now. They've changed the policy now. If you activate any smartphone, you pay the fee. So you can't complain about whether or not 4G is in your area in regards to the fee anymore.

With a weak signal (1 bar) less than 3 hours. Good signal still less than 6 hours. It's been a while since I ran it that hard so I don't know if the new 3.70 update improved that for a stock phone.

I am now rooted with MikFroYo 4.4 ROM and Nerarchy's 4.3.1 kernel and a 3500 mAh battery, and I can go all day with no problems.

I just don't need that often, so I leave it off... May throw a stock battery in tonight and flip it on tomorrow just to see how long she'll last with normal usage under my new configuration...

Trying to set up exchange sync with company server running exchanged 2007. I've set it up with Exchange 2003 with no problem. Unfortunately, now it won't sync automatically (it will sync manually). Sync error code tells me the certificate is expired. When I check root certificates on the phone there is one security certificate that expired 1/8/2010 that might be the culprit, or what do I need to ask my IT guys to do or give me?

[HTC Aria General] xaos11:
I was trying to figure this out for a while, and even went so far as to install an entire different DLNA server on my Netgear Stora. I was able to access them fine on my wife's Epic, but not my Aria. And I also was able to ping the Epic, but not the Aria. So then with a simple search I was able to find this thread , which allowed me to then ping the device. Much to my delight, I could then see all of the DLNA servers from my aria ^_^. I just thought I would throw this out there for anybody else that may be banging their head on a wall like I was.

But I am now kind of wondering, why did I have to ping the Aria to get it to detect the DLNA servers? Some newer security feature, or missing feature from previous builds (I swear I could use DLNA fine before without any problems)?
[HTC Aria General] seboj:
What ROM are you using? I believe the ping problem only exists in CM6.1+ and CM7.
[HTC Aria General] xaos11:
Doh, guess I could've mentioned that. CM7 nightlies.

Also, I've noticed that I have to repeat the procedure if I am disconnected from the network for a certain amount of time. I've been experimenting with creating a shortcut that will ping the server, but I still think I have to do it from the other end as well. Will confirm later.
[HTC Aria General] xaos11:
Ok, so after messing with it for a while, I found a solution that works for me. If I cannot detect the dlna server (if I leave the network and come back for example), all I have to do is open up an ssh session to the server, and that way I don't have to ping the Aria from the server. Sure, it is a little hassle to click the ssh shortcut, and put the password in, but I have the pw stored in swype so it is really easy.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Yea...I've noticed this as well..it's truly a GIANT pain...and no matter how many times this gets asked, anywhere, it either always gets over looked or no one cares to answer the question. Something is a little quirky but I haven't a clue as to what it is...

[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
I'm using the Eclair 1.1 GHz kernel. It's SUPER snappy, and flashed fine! Make sure you download the one for Eclaire, not Froyo!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451
[Nook Color General] sidenine:
Agreed. The 1.1 GHz kernel has been rock solid for me for several days now. If you use it with SetCPU, you can help retain as much battery life as possible, since the 1.1 GHz kernel uses a little more power.

I use:

MAX 1100 MHz

Min 800 MHz

OnDemand

Then set a custom profile for "screen off"

Max 600 MHz

Min 300 MHz

OnDemand

This means when you're using the device, the system will automatically select a speed between 800 MHz and 1100 MHz depending on what the system demands. Then it'll throttle down to either 300 or 600 MHz when the screen is off to conserve power.

I saw a very small difference between the stock kernel and this one in terms of battery life. I still get days of moderate use out of my NC between charges.
