[Vibrant General] caliga4221:
Sorry for delayed response. Towns wifi went down last night and someone just now got around to resetting it.

@ferhanmm: I did get bionix on but it was acting very flaky, system ended up getting stuck in what i thought was a brick but someone in my other thread helped me get it working again and now i have a fully working trigger rom.

Everything is up and going again now I would like to get a theme for it, but really the only thing i dont like is all the green icons. About to do some research and see if I can just replace icons somehow.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdog670:
I want to sell my Vibrant and get a Windows Phone 7 device. I'm currently on TMobile and I am looking at either the HD7 or Dell Venue Pro. I will be getting either one off contract since my contract is not up yet (bought the vibrant the day it came out, big mistake). Can I know the pros and cons of each of these devices? Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
I own both the venue pro and the HD7 and while they are both good phones the Venue Pro is better in every aspect. also since you live in the US I would recommend buying on ebay. I have bought 2 venue pros new in box there for much cheaper than they are through dell. Anyways they are very similar in specs but if you watch the videos the venue pro is actually both quicker to load apps and quicker to render browser pages. It also has a AMOLED screen as opposed to the old fashioned screen on the HD7 providing more vibrant colors. The overall build quality of the venue pro is much better and the keyboard I thought I'd never touch on it has actually come in use more often than not. If you go venue pro you can often pick up an 8 gig venue pro and a 32 gig memory card for the same price as a new HD7 and perform the card swap yourself and get a phone with twice the memory and an overall better build. All in all if you have the choice go venue pro all the way. HD7 is good but certainly not AS good.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdog670:
Ok thanks. Will look on ebay for the DVP, found someone on craigslist who might do a straight trade with me though (my vibrant for his DVP).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
That's an awesome deal. If its a 16 gig I reccomend card swapping. The factory 16 gig memory cards in the dvp can cause issues. A 32 gig SanDisk runs amazingly though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyurquiza:
well i own the HD7 and my cousin owns the DVP and i can honestly say the DVP is better, smaller screen but the DVP's amoled has very rich colors compared to the HD7 which are good but as mentioned not as good. The portrait slide out keyboard is definatly a plus!! and feels alot more solid, EX the hd7's loose volume rocker, better materials and such. though the Hd7 has more memory when you buy it. 16gb vs 8gb the os is the same, but the DVP runs somewhat faster defintly noticeable when compared. but there is a WP7 update coming with a substantial speed boost. really it comes down to prefrence because the HD7 is a great phone aswell just not as good, the only downside to the DVp is that its only available online so you cant go to a tmobile store to fiddle around before buying :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
Either of those phones would be fine but I really can't speak for the DVP because I've never used one. I do have an HD7 and find it to be the best looking WP7 device yet. It took 4 HD7s to get one without flaws, though. The first one had cell connection problems. The second one had groups of dead pixels. The third one had particulates under the glass plate, on top of the LCD. I finally received a perfect one after going to a different store. The previous store was troubled with an Android fangirl.

My HD7 is a pure masterpiece of quality. It feels solid, sturdy and displays a gorgeous, realistically colored LCD. It has excellent sound quality through the HP port. It has a kickstand for watching videos and has the largest display of all the WP7 devices. At 4.3", it makes a big difference in eyestrain when watching for long periods. The difference is significant, too. On my iPhone with it's 3.5" display, my eyes will become very strained before reaching an hour into a movie. On my HD7, I can watch movie after movie and not have any problems. But 4.3" is the absolute minimum size for comfortable, strain-free video watching for me. And the kickstand makes the experience even sweeter. The HD7 comes with 16GB memory and is not upgradeable without voiding the warranty. And getting to the card is a bit complex...according to the online instructions I saw.

I don't know what the battery life on the DVP is, but the HD7 isn't all that great. I'm hoping MS will deal with BL in WP7.

I can't think of anything else. So good luck on whatever you choose.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
I have both.

DVP:

+ Keyboard, which I use a lot similar to what others have stated

+ Beautiful screen

+ Build quality, overall looks etc.

+ Good speakers

+ Decent battery life

- Not tweakable since there is no registry write discovered yet, so no changing theme colors, IE search provider, etc

- Embarrassingly wretched bad camera, seriously unbelievable, horrifically bad

- No HQ from YouTube

- Piss-poor OEM-specific software (there is basically none)

HD7:

+ Acceptable camera, and can control the shutter sound

+ Tweakable, can change a variety of settings

+ Lighter/thinner

+ Proper YouTube with HQ support

+ Good apps from HTC, including Attentive Phone and Connection Setup

- Average or poor screen, especially with dark themes

- Build quality good, but not as good as DVP

- No keyboard

- Poor battery life

Bottom line is that I like or even love both phones, but I am still looking for my ideal WP7 device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Yea, the DVP's camera is terrible. It's just unbelievable that Dell put that thing in that phone.

I don't know if I could cound the lack of a keyboard against the HD7 as a negative, though. Few WP7 phones even have a keyboard and with a 4.3" screen using the on screen keybaord isn't an issue.

The DVP's keyboard is good but it adds quite a bit of bulk to the phone, which is a factor for some. Also, it's a portrait slider, which isn't as practical as a landscape slider on phones this big. It makes the phone super big when you're typing.

I guess Dell went with plastics instead of metal because if the phone weighed anymore the risk of damage to the slider would go up factorably.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdog670:
That's annoying that the Venue Pro can't change the theme or search provider... Not sure if I should still get it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manny84:
Having owned both phones I'd say the DVP, overall, is the better phone of the two. It has a more quality feel to it. Flatout the build quality is excellent. However, the curved screen annoyed me a bit, and is prone to more smudges than other phones I've owned. I loved the look of the HD7, but I can't say the same for its build quality though. I went through 3 devices before giving up. Having said that, I love big displays, giving up my 4.3 for a 4 saddened me a bit. I thought HTC Hub was pretty neat too. They've got some useful apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxemo:
I've owned a DVP and an HD7. Overall i liked the DVP pro more, but i went through 4 of them before giving up on it. I found the phone to be quite defective and buggy in many areas, especially concerning wifi.

In the end i sold my 4th one and went with the HD7 just because of its stability.

HD7 is one of the best phones ive ever owned, the only gripe being the display. While fine and somewhat unoticable on it's own, when compared to AMOLED its just no contest. But i'll take that minor complaint over constant freezing and locking up anyday.

I recommend you read through the DVP forum here on XDA and decide if thats something you're willing to risk. For most people posting the phone is defective to the point of unusability. That matches up with my experience pretty accurately. There are of course those that have nothing but good things to say about it, so i suppose its possible to have a good experience with it. I wouldnt recommend it though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdog670:
Ok well, here is an update for everyone. The guy on craigslist with the Dell Venue Pro isn't replying to my messages, will see tomorrow what he says. I did find someone on craigslist willing to trade my vibrant for his hd7, straight trade. So, what would you guys do in my situation?

Would you trade:

My Vibrant + 100$ for a Venue Pro?

or

My vibrant For an HD7?

Or wait for the Nokia devices? Sorry for all the questions!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
You can't change the Browser search provider on any WP7 phone. The option is non-existent and you have to hack the phone to do it. Changing the search provider on a WP7 device requires more labor than rooting and installing a custom ROM on an Android device. For just that, it's not even worth the effort, IMO.

That being said, if you get it straight from Dell, then shouldn't it come with set as the default for everything?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I know it's not a topic here really but as for me the ergonomy and the camera are important,

I wouldn't trade LG Optimus 7 for anything.

It is a very worthy option.

Very good camera and very good physical buttons. As opposed to HD7. Having physical Back and Search is a really great thing.

Plus the best OEM apps available from LG.

Maybe consider this too. 16GB built in. I think it's on top of current WP7 line.

Sorry for OT.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasrhp:
Here is a direct comparison of the two: http://anythingbutiphone.com/362

I have the DVP, and have to say even with its flaws, its still a good phone. Don't expect to use the camera, its pointless. Don't use high quality ear buds with them, hiss is overwhelming. It's bulky enough to think twice about a case, so know that going in. Other than that, the quality is excellent, the keyboard is one of the best, and the phone is solidly built.
[Captivate General] rocz:
Hi all, Ive had my captivate for about a week now and have been playing with it, I've been all over the web trying to figure out why I can't sync it with my pc Ive tried both my laptop with windows 7 and my desktop running XP. Nothing will work ive downloaded the drivers from Samsung's site and kies and kies mini with no luck. No matter what i do it says device not recognized windows has stopped the device and nothing shows up on the phones screen it just shows its charging, I'm guessing its something I'm doing but i just don't know what. Once I had so much trouble I connected a Samsung flight to my PC that's running XP and it worked just fine. Can anyone help me out i want to root the captivate so i can get take off all this att crap!!!
[Captivate General] dang3r1917:
Did you mount the phone after plugging it into your computer? You should pull down the notification bar and it should give you the option to copy files to/from computer.

Also, set you usb settings to mass storage. It's in settings...can't remember where on stock.
[Captivate General] rocz:
Yes I have put the phone in all the different usb settings debugging,media player, mass storage, ask on connection, kies. When I plug it in the only thing that changes on the phone screen is its showing its charging it doesn't give me any option to mount. The same cable will connect my old Flight phone and that phone transfers files just fine. This really has me stumped.
[Captivate General] dang3r1917:
You downloaded and installed drivers from this site? http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT

This may sound random and stupid but are you plugging into a USB that is directly connected to the motherboard (back of the computer)? If you're on a laptop there is no way to test this...basically, there was some issues before of people not having their computer recognize their phone and the issue was too low of power from the USB.

Hopefully someone else can chime in as well. I'm pretty new to this too so I can only think of fairly basic things.
[General Accessories] jagdhatt:
hi guys,

im planning on picking up the monster turbine headphones but i cant decide whether or not controltalk is a worthwhile thing to have on my headphones, i dont care about the $10-20 price difference, but need to know whether having controltalk there is annoying because ive heard the left ear on the diddybeats becomes quite weighted as a result of controltalk, and that some people are having problems with controltalk on their android phones (i have the Captivate). Any input would be great!

thanks!
[General Accessories] csds92:
BUMP

I'd like to know if controltalk is worth getting as well, as I'll be getting the xperia play soon. If it doesnt work with the android gingerbread OS, its redundant no? And I heard its the one of the significant problems on the monster headphones, people saying "controltalk broke in 14 days", "controltalk going haywire" and the issue with the sweatproof powerbeats but non-sweatproof controltalk. So is it worth getting? The pros or the experienced please reply~ :X

Froyo has a new theme to its messaging app. Just the way it is as far as I know.

it might be worth grabbing the latest HTC Sync app and installing that if not already

also what OS are you running it from?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I find it easier to turn the phone on holding the back button to get into FASTBOOT, then connect to the PC and run the RUU - means you can do it with non-Sense ROMs too as you don't need HTC Sync

[HTC Inspire 4G] jthornton71707:
I think I've had it. My first sense experience was on an HD2. Not all that great. Coming from a nexus s, then iPhone 4, I love this phone. I love everything about it. After using sense I don't think ill ever use Android again without it. It just feels as if something is missing. With that said this is what made me decide not to get an Atrix. However after the past few days using the inspire, countless task managers tweaking settings, turning off background data, the longest battery lift I got was 11 hours and I barley used the thing! Please someone point me in the actual directon of an extended battery that actually works or I think I might have to sell this thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
Stop using a task manager, they just make battery life worse. Turn off auto-brightness and set it to around 35-40%. Go into settings>Accounts and Sync and uncheck what you don't need like Stocks, News, etc. Turn off mobile data, wifi and gps unless you need it. Also don't fill up 7 homescreens with useless widgets. Try to keep it to about 3 screens with a small number of widgets.

HTC Sync was my big battery hog. Removed the account, and it started sipping the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jthornton71707:
I've done all these things guys. I'm just frustrated. The phone should last a day. When the thing is under 10% I look at battery use and display is always at the top but its always about an hour. Your really telling me I can only use my phone for an hour a day? I just can't believe HTC would drop the ball on this one. I'm going to look on eBay for a portable usb battery charger. Their about 10$ and it did the job with my iPhone 4
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I would heavily suggest running CM7. It seems even better on battery than the way I had Sense configured.

BTW, You can't just disable HTC Sync account, removing it is what fixed my battery drain. Android System(which includes HTC Sync) was using at least a third of my battery life.

If I root and run CM won't I loose all the HTC sense and all those goodies?

rooting and installing custom roms is a sure fire way to increase your battery life.

It seems I read that the Inspire has a 1200 mah battery, is this correct? If so, then I am really really confused, as my aria has the same battery, but the screen is waaaaaay smaller. Granted, I can go a full day easily with a lot of usage on my aria, but I can't imagine trying to squeeze more than a few hours out of the aria battery in hungrier hardware. Someone pls tell me if I am mistaken, I was going to get this phone next month, but if the battery is the same as the Aria I think I will just have to wait on something else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
1230mAh, to be precise. The reason it is at least equivalent or better is more advanced, more efficient hardware such as processor and other chipsets. IT makes a drastic difference.
