[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I mean really, that product of incest Dvorak who has been proven wrong time and time again is out to get another OS. I mean as many times as he's been wrong you could call it a good omen that he thinks WP7 will fail. You know, just like the iphone did? Not to mention the fact that none of these people are WP7 users and yet they feel obligated to argue the facts. None of them seem to know much about the phone other than "Ooh, it's a smooth UI." or *shudder* "It's just an iphone ripoff." It's a shame that they can't put real WP7 users on these radio shows to really talk about the benefits of the OS and because of that all people hear is the negatives. WP7 is the Cinderella OS as queer as that may sound. It's two ugly competitors that have lost any real drive because they're already swimming in cash and anything else is just excess. Then there's the OS that has more to offer, looks better, and is just waiting for it's time to shine. As someone who was just a few months ago an android fanboy the best change I've made recently was to a new phone OS. WP7 is just amazing and sadly unrecognised.

[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Samsung put a terribly slow interface over an already laggy OS causing extreme slowdowns. Not to mention the T-mobile variation feels unbelievably cheap. Sure with a number of fixes you can make it run remotely decent but even after all that it's not too great a device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
It's so adorable when people who are terrible at trolling attempt it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
TouchWiz is generally not a bad idea, just too iOS... the notification toggles are good designs.

I agree that the launcher was bad, I always replace it.

Galaxy S is a great device on hardware, Hummingbird, quadband WCDMA, best NAND, BlueTooth3.0, decent GPS chip (however functioning terrible)... Also the international version i9000 do have timely updates.

On late version TW performs better.

So I would blame US carriers for destorying the performance of GS. I've been running i9000 ROMs on my Captivate for months and never went back to i897ROMs. Well, my SIM is in my Focus now:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Once you've gone WP7 having to flash roms and stuff just to make your device functional is rather tedious and boring. The captivate while my wife had it did run smoother than the Vibrant but still nowhere near a WP7 device. I still found my G1 running 2.1 runs faster than anything using touchwiz. and thats almost depressing. I don't see why carriers are blamed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
That's why my SIM is in Focus now. Also better Battery life.

For GS, just dont use the TW launcher, that's really laggy.

ROMs of US variants update much much slower than other parts of the world. The latest official AT&T Captivate ROM is still on 2.1, while the Canadian Captivate is on 2.2 and Chinese version has official 2.2.1 (Significant bug-fix to 2.2) running. If it's not AT&T, who should be responsible for the difference?

Sorry for messing up your post...
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
The consumers. The Vibrant was updated not because ours was the most sold (T-mobile is like the bottom of the big 4 and has a vibrant 2 coming out soon) but because we griped and complained and rode T-mobile/Samsung enough. I hate to say it but a number of people who got the captivate were previous iphoners which for the most part are not very bright (Not being mean just a fact) They don't care what version of what they have as long as they can play angry birds and text. I think it's heavily on the consumers.

[Atrix 4G General] computermilk:
Quick Scenario you guys,. was hoping to receive some help.

2 lines, (they are mine)

1 is an iPhone 4, Not upgrade eligible.

the other is a 3Gs , eligible for an upgrade.

Question-

could you, buy the phone using the eligibility from the 3GS line, THEN when it comes in the mail, don't touch the 3Gs at all. and just take the Sim out of the iPhone 4 and put that into the Atrix 4G.

Will the 3Gs line be touched at all, or what i mean is, do i need to do anything in the background with ATT Customer support?

(i guess im thinking this would be like a verizon activation)

Can i just take the Sim out of the iPhone 4 and start going?
[Atrix 4G General] rodimus_prime:
my suggestion would be to complete the transaction in a company owned retail location, theres less chance for something getting messed up
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
When the iPhone 4 came out I added a line to my plan and got the iPhone for the new contract pricing. I had to put data on the new line because every smartphone requires data. Anyway, right there in the store I told them I wanted to use it under the other line (my main line) so they put my main line info into a new micro sim chip and put it into the iPhone. So I was now using the iPhone on the line that wasn't upgrade eligible!! Noting changed on my main line. A few days later I called customer service and told them I wanted to remove the data plan from the second line because it wasn't being used by a smartphone...so they asked me what phone was being used on the line instead so I gave them the imei number of a feature phone I had. They didn't give me a hard time at all!

When the Captivate came out since I was still within the 30 days I returned the iPhone and got the Captivate still under my main line with nothing changed and they gave me a new sim card.

The same process should work for you, but I don't know if you'll have issues using the micro sim on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] rodimus_prime:
I would suggest just getting a new sim to use with the atrix rather than using adapters
[Atrix 4G General] computermilk:
Well the atrix is going to SHIP with a Sim right?

is it already going to be formatted for a certain line?

Shouldn't i be able to activate it for any line that i want?
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
If you buy it in store or if it's an upgrade I don't think they give a sim card because you can easily use your current sim card. You're gonna use the 3GS line to get the upgrade price, when you get the phone just pop in the sim card of your iPhone 4 and that should work just fine. The only issue you might have is the fact that the iPhone 4 uses a micro sim. You can keep using the 3GS just like you have been all along even though you ordered the Atrix under that line, that's the benefit of having sim cards!! :)
[Atrix 4G General] daveop:
Go to a Corp store, this is exactly what I did on the iPhone 4 launch and they have absolutely no problem with it at all. They'll get you setup with the right sim cards and won't change you anything extra.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Im doing this same thing right now, so I might be able to help.

last year in September, I use another line on a family plan to upgrade to the Captivate. I upgraded rhat line, but put my sim card in.

Keep in mind I just used the 2 year upgrade. Now I can upgrade MY line (the one im using the smartphone now) and im going to upgrade that to... maybe the Atrix.

I will have 2 smartphones, both using the same data plan (gotta call and make sure) and just switch the SIM.

Art works plans by sims, not bu phones. Using a line tto upgrade doesn't affect the line or plan. Just the upgrade time; that is, if you have a compatible line for the phone already.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Atrix 4G General] ricethief:
Just tell them you want to do a "shared upgrade" . You can do it at a reseller or a corporate store. I'm doing mine at radio shack.

Shared upgrade lets you use a upgrade from one line on the account and use it on another. I think you have to be the account holder though.
[Atrix 4G General] epi117:
I have done this numerous times with our 4 person group plan.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
This is what i did, tho not with iphones on the lines lol.

Your second line(the one with the upgrade) should NOT be touched at all besides it being renewed.
[Atrix 4G General] akoni1p:
I have the same scenario. I preordered using the 2nd line that have a 3gs. I current also have a iphone 4. Im going to the store first thing because I don't lose my unlimited plan. These AT&T CS don't know anything and they might mess things up if you call. The odd thing is that currently the line I used to upgrade have an expiration date on the iphone unlimited plan (expire 4/2011). Im worry about that part. They better not kick me off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I am new to Smartphones as I have a dumb phone currently. I am looking to upgrade it to a Smartphone like Atrix or Inspire 4G.

Couple of questions...

1) which one should I get Atrix or Inspire? I don't have any experience with either Moto or HTC.

I read that Atrix has encrypted bootloader so future OS versions will be a problem unless Moto releases them first. So does Inspire win in this case?

I am quite capable of understanding custom roms and dev stuff if needed ;)

2) Is Motoblur better/worse than Sense?

3) I have a $15 dumbphone unlimited data plan so when I upgrade I will have to get 2GB data plan. So my question is will 2GB data suffice for general usage/streaming and NOT tethering?

I currently tether my iPod touch to the phone and use 1.2-1.4 GB per month for streaming/email.

4) Also the price currently for Inspire is $100 cheaper than Atrix which is good for me.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Twenty4:
2GB is enough for most folks. That will handle all your browsing and e-mail needs. You could probably throw in 1-2 hours of Pandora/Slacker a day and still be fine.

When first setting up the phone, use WIFI for your app DL's and initial sync setup. They add up pretty quick when starting from scratch.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
Im thinking of buying my brother a X10 but i have a few questions to ask first. I currently have a HTC desire so i prefer android phones now.

1. I see that its possible to root the phone but there does not seem to be much ROMS available. Is there any reason for this?

2. The main reason i wanted to root and change ROM was to install A2SD but the X10 has much higher internal memory at 1GB. But can i still install A2SD+?

3. I see that there are vanilla 2.2 Roms but they have a few bugs. So is there a vanilla 2.1 Rom that is stable and everything works?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
1. The bootloader aint cracked yet, so the dev's are restricted with what they can cook..

2. Yes.. I believe you can, although I haven't bothered.. not needed it myself.

3. stock SE 2.1 with tweaks (JIT, junk removed, other minor changes) runs really well..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
You should buy x10 immediatly.

Nice ROMs, stability, good devs etc.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
Thanks, very informative reply.

In regards to the internal memory, how much space does the phone have for apps? The desire only has 150mb so that's why you need to a2sd.

The stock SE 2.1 Rom with all the junk removed sounds exactly what I'm looking for, have you got a link to it?

Finally, is it correct you there are 2.2 Roms but only the camcorder is not working? Or have they got other issues too?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdurahman:
the best 2.1 rom is this, it's the one i have now

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913610

really fast and stable, everything works 100%, you get over 400mb of internal storage with this rom.

the 2.2 roms mostly everything works but camcorder and a couple small things. but i'm still on 2.1, it works great, i won't switch until they've got a 2.2 rom with fully working camcorder.

hope this helped!

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mobs69:
I had fun with my Streak today.

I thought my battery was draining a little fast, so I decided to do a factory reset.

I did the factory reset running 1.7. I then got stuck in a reboot loop.

So I did another factory reset and went back to 1.5.3 and finally got it to boot. I then went back to 1.7, re-installed my apps (thanks Titanium!) and everything seemed to be great.

Then I went to MSN.com and it defaulted me to the UK version. I thought it may have something to do with GPS, but everything is working great.

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere to fix this?

Is that the standard google recovery i'm seeing, or is it still clockwork? Writing was blue, and going by what I read it must be google one as apparently you need to re-flash clockwork every time you are going to use it (or something like that).
