[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jzaslice:
i have loved my touch pro 2 for the past year or so and all the devs, everyone at XDA made me love it even more. my girlfriend has an iphone and ill never ever trade my phone for iOS and theres not any other phone carried by ATT that is any better than the touch pro 2 i think..but then the Atrix came along. its a sad realization but you cant compare the specs of our touch pros to any of these new devices. sure im sacrificing the full qwerty kb we all know and love and moving on from winmo 6.5 (that ive grown with since 5.x) but i feel like its for the better. especially with all the wear and tear ive put my phone thru, sure is one hell of a trooper thats for sure, its time to set it down and ive made my decision. expecting my atrix to arrive this coming monday. so with this goodluck to all with whatever you decide!

Phone after TP2

I'm also investigating new phones (although doing so would also require me to give up my sero plan, which seems unlikely at the moment).

For me on Sprint, there seems to be a few major choices that include a physical keyboard that I was looking at:

Android:

-HTC EVO Shift

-Samsung Epic 4G

WP7:

-[upcoming] HTC 7 Pro

The EVO shift has a similar sized screen to the TP2, while the Epic 4G goes a bit larger (4") and has a faster processor (1 Ghz vs. 800 Mhz on the Evo Shift). Nonetheless, I'm still pretty turned off by the touchwiz UI on the Epic 4g -- a bit to cartoony for my tastes.

Since the 7 pro is essentially the successor to the TP2, the dimensions are pretty similar albeit with an upgraded processor (1 Ghz).

I'm currently running XDAndroid on the TP2, so I have a sense of how android works, but I've never tried WP7 -- after classic WinMo I'm still kind of hesitant to go back to Microsoft.

To anyone who has been using WP7 -- any thoughts on the disadvantages/advantages over android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] FeareX:
I guess the most obvious phone would be the HTC 7 pro closely followed by the Desire Z.

Personally i decided to keep my TP2 after 2 years (i can pick a new phone @ my provider in june). The phone does everything i want.

The only program i miss on Windows Mobile is WhatsApp/pingchat :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] raz1337:
I get the Desire Z. I went to T-Mobile hoping to find one to even hold and play with, but didn't see one. I'm just really hung up on the hardware keyboard when considering an HD7. The hardware keyboard makes me want to pump out paragraphs of forum posts on the phone. The software keyboard makes me hate texting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mwrsa:
Same thougths here, and same conclusions, just like some people wrote: I tried some phones, but the only possible choice would be the Desire Z (7 Pro w/o card slot is a NO GO!). I ended up buying an new display to replace the cracked one in my TP2 (via ebay, from HK), saving LOTS of money, and still having the device I like and am used to.

Someone wrote about TP2 being cheap(er) now, where do you get them and at which price? They're still above 50% of the price at introduction around here in Germany. If they were cheaper, I'd buy one as spare, too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
They go for cheap in the Marketplace forum here in XDA every now and then. There's also eBay. I've seen them as low as $120 recently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mwrsa:
That's an incredible price! They're still well over 250€ new on Ebay, almost 400€ in the cheapest onlineshop I found in Germany! WOW.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] besho2222:
I will vote for HTC 7 pro, as you've been used to using a keyboard, it's hard to go back to the on-screen one, and BTW HTC 7 Pro is really amazing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Saulog01:
the samsung galaxy s2 is about to come out. it looks pretty nice
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stp-dfw:
Same boat but different hole in it.

I have a Tilt 2 that I love, but it's starting to die and just generally failing all around. I really never use the keyboard, I only got the phone for the Windows Mobile aspect of it. I cannot stand the new interfaces that don't give you cut and past ability or file explorer - and so far, that is what I see when researching Windows 7 phones. I had almost just conceded to the fact that I would have to lose some functionality and go with a new Windows phone like the Samsung Focus, but then I remembered al the wisdom I had found in these forums and thought I'd ask around a bit.

I'm not a ROM replacing kind of guy, but I did invest in the Spb mobile shell for WM 6.5. I really like this OS, and I just don't want to give up the tweakability of my WM phone in finding a new phone. What are my options for new phones? I am with AT&T and would like to utilize the cheap upgrade option, but it seems that the Samsung Focus, HTC Surround, and LG Quantum are my only choices - based on given specs and capabilites, I've ruled out the Surround and Quantum. In checking their website today, it appears a new option is on the way - HTC HD7S. I need some wisdom from you guys here.

I'm willing to switch providers if need be, I just need to know if there are still any new phones out there running WM 6.5 or something that is equialent in the ability to tweak and manipulate?

I use my memory card as a portable storage device, and not being able to remove it on these new Windows phones (without resetting the device) is something that really ticks me off. Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] raz1337:
I went ahead and got the g2x from T-Mobile. It's pretty impressive, especially Android. The big changes over my Touch Pro 2 so far have been:

1) Camera enhancements. 8 MP camera over 3.2. LED Flash + Zoom. Unless I was mistaken, I never found a zoom on the TP2.

2) 3d graphics. Enough said. Drains battery but Need for Speed Shift and Nova as demos of it are enough.

3) Adobe Flash support in browser and more enhanced browser. This is pretty badass. I've been watching Megaupload and various videos on sites the last few days.

4) Android has a Ventrilo client available. This was a major downer on WM since I frequent a forum that uses it.

5) Facebook application supports chat on FB. I already pissed off a friend though for going on it, chatting and throwing my phone in my pocket. She got mad for me being so sporadic.

6) Much faster and stable. It blazes through crap fast.

7) Youtube application supports HD/HQ videos. Nothing is blocked from watching. The TP2 app had a lot of Youtube videos blocked because it didn't support them.

8) Stereo headset and HDMI connector! T-Mobile TP2 does *NOT* have a 3.5mm connector.

The cons:

1) So far, the battery is draining from 9 AM to 8 PM. This is unacceptable. Even my TP 2 made it until 11 PM or longer at night with 15-20%. Other people are tweaking their battery getting battery lives of 3 days. I'm working on it.

2) Lack of hardware keyboard. I'm using the software keyboard and it has its quirks. The hardware keyboard will always be more responsive than a software. My new software keyboard is easier to use though than the TP2's. The TP2 software keyboard when in portrait mode was god awful.

3) Transition from WM to Android. A lot of learning curves but Android pulls ahead so much. The thing is, I never used WP7 to see if it kept up with Android.

If I can just fix the battery draining issues, I'll be golden.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navkaranchadha:
My Desire Z was stolen today.

It was brand new. It had phone finder activated, but somehow it is not working on the site. Somebody please advise me how can i trace the phone

Really really please. Is there anyway, through gps, cell signal, or anything to track my phone. I put in my entire savings on this phone. I will be deeply thankful to even any little advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_16:
If he/she turn ur phone off any gps tracker from market app doesn't work, if he knows something about phones he can just factory reset your phone so anything doesn't help at all.

Fly like a G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
If you had a Sense ROM and signed up for HTC Sense, there is a phone finder there. That's about my only other suggestion. Like the guy above said though, if whoever has it knows anything about phones, they could easily get past any GPS apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
I know this is too little too late, but next time try "theft aware" it embeds itself within the firmware to where you are unable to factory reset it. I got mine back that way, though I think I left it at the bar.

sorry to hear that:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I don't wanna pass judgement but maybe you shouldnt spend your entire savings on a phone? I wouldnt put all my savings into a device that is easily targeted for theft.

And if you did spend all your savings on a phone, why not just get handset insurance? As stated above most ways of recovering ur phone as far as apps are concerned can be bypassed by a mildly smart thief.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_16:
i just tried the theft aware app that the guy recommend above damn this app is good brah, even without data connection it forces the stolen phone to call the phone your using so you can hear him, even the gps whenever available it will send it to you and so much more can lock, wipe and alarm

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
do you not speak english? or do you just PHail?

what do you mean by "up rom"? upgrade? upload?

what rom were you before? stock?

disLagfix ? disable lagfix? is that what you mean? you would DISABLE BEFORE flashing, ENABLE after.

loading files via your phone? #1 you load TO your phone VIA a usb calbe or VIA wifi ect. #2 what do you ACTUALLY mean? that you cant push with odin? cant mount usb? ect.....

try including information, to help us help you, if you want help.

and using terms that we dont use, makes it obvious you didnt READ AND LEARN BEFORE FLASHING.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangtuyen:
yes, my English's not good enough to explain my idea =)

i meant i wanted to upgrade Andmedora 1.1 from my current using Phoenix 4.5

then disable lagfix, and reboot phone. Everything worked well but Gallery App. was scanning found "no items". That's my problem.

Thanks for yr kind support.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you cant 'upgrade' you need to flash the FULL 1.1 over your current rom. shouldnt need to disable lagfix at all, but it wouldnt hurt. the idea there is to disable BEFORE you flash the rom, then re-enable it AFTER flashing the rom.

if you flash the full rom over your current rom it will wipe everything for you, except items on your sdcard (pictures/music/apps that store data there, etc)

http://www.elocitynow.com/docs/pr_2011_0204.pdf

So the above link shows the new tabs available on pre-order feb 15th and will ship with Froyo 2.2 not Gingerbread. These tablets all have the multi-touch screens we wish for and wireless n. The 10.1" screen is the first available. No mention of when the the a7x will be available to order or price point. The cheapest is the 4gb model 10.1" screen for a "discounted" price of $399. So I assume as soon as these actually come out they will raise the price which seems right to me. The $399 is a really attractive price for this device!!

I just thought I would post the official link as I thought it was interesting. If they had the 7x for $399 pre-order I would certainly seriously consider buying. In fact, I probably would just buy it. It is more than I can afford but what a nice device. I can't do the 10.1 " model. I really like the 7" form factor. It is so portable but still so usable!! Still though the original a7 for $299 is a pretty good deal.

Well with two weeks left to decide whether or not I am going to keep my a7 I think I will. The color Nook looks like a great device and it is nice to upgrade to 3.0 but I just have a hard time going backwards hardware wise. The a7 is so snappy and I like that. The screen and wireless n are the only issues I have with the device. argh!! I really want 3.0!!

What I posted last week was the official press release. They released it out on Feb 4th which you see on the notice there. I find it strange it took them about a week to finally get it posted on their website. But you will see its the same release we put on the site last week.

Hows this stack up against liberty 1.5?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] midgetgrimm:
Really depends on what you want. Liberty is very empty on stock but very fast, DS is stocked with blur/ and minimal bloatware, very fast as well. It all depends on your flavor. I think liberty is great for a super modder/hacker, but DS is everyday fast and everyday stable for the everyday user

DSv4.2

I have been running this ROM for a couple weeks now and I have yet to find anything negative. I have flashed just about all the other ROMs on my DROID X and DS continues to blow them away with its overall stability, but best of all is the speed. This ROM is flat out FAST!!! I would say Liberty 1.5 and Apex 1.4 are tied for second place, but thats a distant second. Thanks to the devs!!!(all ROM devs):D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] keefles:
Hows the them selection for ds?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] gmenfan83:
to be honest the theme selection is low due to ds already being so heavily and nicely themed already,,,,,here is one

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/da...talx-choose-red-blue-colors-get-your-fix.html

and some have reported using the universal theme cookers successfully as well
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Lofi Goosh:
I've used both DS and Liberty and...

I like Liberty a lot more for the sole reason that the customization options that Liberty offers are far beyond that of DS.

This all depends, as midgetgrimm stated, on what you are looking for...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] gmenfan83:
very true but personally i prefer stability over customization any day:D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] keefles:
I really like this rom so far. The only complaint is the battery, compared to liberty..

That was fixed using juice defender and super power apps anyways.

The only serious thing is that there is no way to import contacts from the SD card. Most of my text messages, the sender is in my contacts, and it doesn't show their name. Instead, it shows the full #..

Also, anyone have some cool green backgrounds or docks?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Lofi Goosh:
For the Contacts Import, did you try this using the actual Contacts App? or just by going to the Dialer and going to your contacts from there? (Dumb question I know, but doesn't hurt to ask)

Also, If you don't mind using a Wallpaper App, then try out Zedge. It's a Wallpaper and Ringtone browser. If you get Zedge, then just do a search for "green" (this is how I found some pretty nifty color specific Wallpapers).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] keefles:
It didn't work in the contacts app, I had to change all my #'s to include a "1" in the beginning of the #..

This rom is awesome though, no freezes or issues at all.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] racingglock35:
Anyone compared this to RUBIX?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] keefles:
I haven't, I did use liberty 1/1.5 and apex 1.3.1 though. Its so much smoother and the battery lasts significantly longer than either roms.

DS 4.3 is going to be so sexy too, if you checkout this thread.

Hey guys, I have a droid x running darkslide 4.2, i love it!

Someone had talked about this a while ago where their bottom buttons started pressing themselves for no reason. My search button does this from time to time but it has become a lot worse lately. It will just go crazy and act as if it is being clicked for no reason.

I just flashed stock this morning and it started happening right after that. Thought this was weird since I had always assumed it had something to do with the rom.any other ideas on the culprit? Could it be a hardware problem with the phone?

trying to help my mom who got a focus. i have android and a noob with wp7...any guidance greatly appreciated.

1. Email Account and their respective address books

Dad set his yahoo and pop emails up on her phone as well but none of his saved email address book seems to be there.

When sending and email and clicking TO: to choose from address book none of his contacts are there.....is it possible to have your address book for the email account available without having all the contacts populated to the PEOPLE hub (they don't want).

2. Windows live Account. Mom setup a windows live account for the primary and had no contacts in it as it was a new account. All of her contacts that she wanted to be in the People Hub came from her sim card.

Can my dads Live account be added as a secondary in a manner that will not cause all of his windows live contacts to populate her People Hub contacts on the phone?
