You should give Android a decent chance. There is absolutely nothing I miss about WM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] heybobitsme:
Like greengoldmello said, not a chance in hell. You'd be more likely to get WP7 or *GASP* iOS *blech* *ptooie* -sorry, I just gagged a little- than Win 6.5, and the chance of that is slim to none and slim ain't around. Unless of course, you want to make it happen. If so, good luck to you sir.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
You know, my computer came with Windows 7 on it, but any chance I could get Win95 on here?

But seriously, I highly doubt there is anyone out there willing to put in a decent amount of time towards getting an extremely outdated, less functional OS onto a device that is perfectly fine with Android on it right now.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Well guys, I may have finally destroyed my phone. I'm getting random powerdowns from recovery; it vibrates 5 times and flashes a green notification light until I pull the battery. USB is completely out the window, and booting to bootloader is hit or miss.

Any insight to this matter is greatly appreciated. Trying frantically to fix this before I head off to school.

[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
When I go to other sites/forums the Xoom can handle them very quickly...I love it. Then when I get to XDA forums, it is super slow and I have to scroll and wait for the bottom half to appear, especially when I scroll quickly.

Why is that?
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
Honostly is slow for me on my home and work windows machine.

It's fine using tapatalk though, you should look into load that.
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
xda is just slow in general...

but it loads perfectly fine sometimes. i get that "no database error" sometimes on both my smartphone and xoom
[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
Same experience on desktop/laptop. It's the site in general.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Forums like this one use a ridiculous amount of elements and tables to display information. Probably a ton of javascript as well.
[Xoom General] nswenson:
Very smooth on my iPhone4. Pretty smooth on my evo 4g, nook, and viewsonic g tablet as well. I think the xoom should do better. I'm sure a future browser update will help improve performance. When I put honeycomb on my nook i noticed the same slowdown on xda.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
I've noticed this also, most other forums load and scroll smoothly, but xda is almost painful to browse on my Xoom. Not sure why...
[Xoom General] Spawn026:
For me, I changed the debug settings to have only enable opengl checked and desktop selected and browsing has been much more fluid here. The same results also having normal rendering enabled but I saw no visual difference so unchecked it. Ironically if you uncheck opengl but have only normal rendering the forum typing is close to perfect but the scrolling is jerky so its a tradeoff

[Off-topic] EchoVelocity:
Hey,

Has anyone noticed how bad the customer service is for HTC?

I contacted them regarding the locking-down of the bootloader on the HTC Wildfire, just because I was curious as to the reason they said was why they did it.

All I got in return was "Its a warranty issue" and then "If you want to do what you want then buy a Google telephone, such as the Google Nexus One".

Not exactly the answer I was looking for. Anyone else notice how practically useless their customer service is?
[Off-topic] Vaere:
My experience with HTC has been excellent, though it was for a power button replacement on my Nexus One that was still under warranty. The customer rep was very courteous and shipping was quick, I called them Monday night, shipped on Tuesday,they fixed it on Wednesday, and I received my working phone back on Thursday. I also sent it with with an unlocked bootloader and CM 6.1 and they didn't ask questions.

Maybe your rep was just having a bad day, most of the time I've had to deal with them their reps have been very understanding.
[Off-topic] oka1:
HTC has treated me ok It really is how you ask the questions, that detrimes alot of how you will be treated.
[Off-topic] stubbed:
I don't really know why you expected anything else? Their response was spot on imho, they gave their reasons and gave you an alternative.
[Off-topic] EchoVelocity:
I basically quoted the entire email. Seriously - that was it. It just came off as a bit rude to me.
[Off-topic] ryanedmunds:
Honestly, I'm surprise they even responded...
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Although the answer was a bit curt, you are lucky to have gotten a response at all from a question like that. I don't think you'd get that from other manufacturers i could mention.

Goes to show that HTC do go the extra yard with their customer service. As far as the Nexus One goes they've been great at overlooking unlocked Bootloaders and honouring warranties regardless.
[Off-topic] conantroutman:
:D

Can you phone apple next and tell me what they have to say? ;)

Seriously though, no manufacturer/carrier is going to encourage you to mod your phone. Like they said, it voids warranty, which at the end of the day is there to protect you, the consumer, from shoddy product.

Highly imitative fake original defy battery. Most visible difference is found on the bottom of battery (top: original, bottom: fake)
[Defy Accessories] Step666:
In what sense is it 'fake'?

Plenty of reputable and reliable third-party batteries aren't 100% physically identical to the manufacturer's own ones but that doesn't make them 'fake'.
[Defy Accessories] ABC_Universal:
It is branded motorola.
[Defy Accessories] Step666:
Thanks for clarifying - it wasn't clear from either this thread of the one you linked to that that was definitely the case.

For Example the amperage is lower than the Original one, not even 1000mA - which means, less production costs.
[myTouch 4G General] kpdadroid:
I have installed CM7 RC2 on my mytouch 4g and so far it has been working like a charm. The only quarrel I have with the ROM is the trackpad to wake does not work.

I have tried the qwerty.kl flash suggested on forum, and it still does not work.

I want a push on the trackpad to activate the lock screen, wake it up or whatever else it is called (NOT UNLOCK IT ENTIRELY, which can happen at a second push to the trackpad.)

Has anyone accomplished this?

Please let me know.

Also , does anyone know how good the battery life is on CM7 rc2?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
My trackpad wake works perfectly so i cannot help with that other than suggesting one to "fix permissions".

As far as battery life. Everyone will give you different replies. Honestly it depends on social network refreshing, google voice syncing, and stuff like that. It vary to an extreme from to the other. some will claim they can get 2-3 days on a single charge and some will complain on how short the battery life is....
[myTouch 4G General] spimonkey34:
This may sound obvious but I didn't see you mention it. Did you turn trackpad wake on? You have to go to settings-cyanogenmod settings-input and set it there.

[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
my trackpad wake works just fine, but as neidlinger stated you might want to fix your permissions via recovery. if that doesnt work, then you might wanna wipe CM7 and install it again. battery life will vary from person to person depending on the phone usage, but since CM7 came out(from first nightly up until now) I have averaged around 18-20hrs on a full charge. hope this helps you out a bit

[HTC Inspire 4G] gothicgeek13:
I know that the Xbox 360 is supposed to be DLNA compliant, but I've never been able to figure out how to stream to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] URPREY:
Use a free app called iMediaShare to stream to 360 or PS3
[HTC Inspire 4G] minicoop7:
I tried twonky, a free app. However, I'm only able to view photos by accessing phone. It has a beam option (videos, YouTube, etc) which I haven't figured out yet. My tv is DLNA compliant. Will play around with it more when I get a chance.

Doesn't account for...

4G card

4G Shipping fees

R&D

Marketing

Distribution

I'm not saying there isn't a TON of markup, but it's not as cheap to build these things. They have buildings full of engineers working on products and that ain't free to moto.

imo, being a geek, i like the motorola xoom
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
CORRECTION!!!

2 sucky cameras. one on the front and one of back...

so $2.00
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
you'll obvious know what videos were taken with ipad2 once they hit youtube
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
I'd venture to say that Apple spent WAY more in R&D and marketing. Apple has to build and maintain the OS (iOS may not be much different on phone and pad, but they have to consider multiple devices when they make changes to the OS), while Motorola gets their OS for free and they don't even have to skin it because it's a Google experience. Apple invented this product category, so Moto couldn't have spent more on R&D to just follow what the others had already done and beef up the specs.

There is no telling what they've priced the 4g upgrade at, but I'm sure they have an estimate. You can't price it according to the number of units sold, because I bet that less than half of units sold will send in their device for 4g within the 90 day window or whatever it is. They're not going to spend much money on the 4g upgrade per unit, probably a few bucks per unit sold.
[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
Even if this was priced at the same price as an I pad it would still be disgustingly marked up because apples prices are already insane. And still if you have any doubt about the insane price given by motorola add in the fact that all the man hours, resources, and work of developing the OS was bore entirely by Google. The price is unjustified.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Taken with the Xoom. Not too shabby, IMHO. (you can actually see the Xoom in the reflection)

It would be nice if we could adjust saturation and contrast in the camera app though.

*and I know, don't give me **** about still having our Christmas up! :P
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
COME ON! IT'S MARCH!

It is a decent photo though.

A lot goes into transportation, assembly, warranty, distribution, marketing, updating, support, etc. etc. etc.

Listing out the price for parts is a little misleading. If I had $300 could I go buy all those parts and make myself a Xoom? Hell no.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
The 4G card justifying a higher price is a joke. If this thing launched in a few months and came with the 4G card already installed, it wouldn't cost any more than it does now. Same as the SD card slot, neither justify any noticeable price increase.

Apple easily has much much more R&D tied into the iPad/iPad 2 than Motorola has tied into the Xoom. First off Motorola doesn't have to design the OS, the Market, iTunes for syncing, etc. AND Verizon is footing a lot of the marketing bill in exchange for the soft exclusivity of a 3g only launch on 1 carrier in the US. Apple has to also pay for their own distribution for sale in Apple stores (once again Verizon/Best Buy are handling most of that for Motorola).

What this article shows is that Motorola could keystone the Xoom (sell for 2x the price of materials) and still be under $600 for the 3G version, and this $322 profit per device would several times over cover the cost of marketing, R&D, etc. and still make huge profit.

Now it should be said that the reason why Apple is able to sell the $499 version of the iPad is generally because it offers an entry point to advertise, hoping to sell more of the expensive models. Apple also takes a cut of App purchases and Music/Movies purchases via iTunes, which also helps them lower the price (but remember, there are also costs involved with running iTunes and the App Store).

But I'll say it again, its just said when you get out a product that is more expensive than an Apple one. How do you think all of the $1500 Sony laptops are selling? The main reasoning behind not buying Apple products for mainstream consumers is price. You can be an Android fanboy all you want, but you can't deny that you just can't give Apple the price advantage, because they will crush all competition. Since when does Apple have a price advantage with comparable specs? Its just a joke how much companies are gonna get crushed this year in tablet sales.

Maybe it's just the Economics student in me, but its not hard to see why Motorola is gonna get its ass handed to it in the next couple quarters.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Duh? I'm saying they build the price of the 4G card and installation in right now.. assuming most people will send it in later. Did I say anything different?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
No, the build price and installation of the 4G card will not cost them any noticeable amount of money that should trickle down to the consumer. The "promise" of installing 4G later shouldn't be put on the consumer now. 4G plans are going to be more expensive, what if I don't want 4G? I don't have the option of not paying for it whether I use it or not. Its pretty much the same model as mail-in-rebates, where they charge you more up front hoping some people don't claim it back.

Does not work for me on Omnia 7 (7004), searching works, but streaming the music not. can switch between the songs in playlist through previous and next button but the music isn't playing :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
oke thanks for the report. Can u send me a pm? Ill send you a debug version soob and we can figure out why it wont work.. Tried to reinstall? Or restart the phone? Sometimes the streaming on wp7 is buggy, i have an omnia 7 as well and sometimes it has trouble to connect. Plus the service which im tapping into was updating its servers today so please keep trying n let me know.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] cndymn_:
well have flashed my omnia 7 cause had t-mobile germany branding. Have Pre-Update (7008) now and it does not work, too.

tried to restart and the same.

This app would be very usefull for me, if it works :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
just checked. Works flawless omnia 7 on tmobile holland. Maybe in germany some sites are blocked? Please send a pm and we will check a debug version. Can you stream other stuff? Which song are u trying? Do you get a cant get stream error? If you dont get this error there is a streaming issue with the device and not the app. If you get the cant get stream error, there could be a different issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Perlnx:
Use on my HD7, it's look better than old but something doesn't work all all.

My Suggestion.

- Fast forward is not working.

- Can't search by using Artist name.

(with old release, I can search using artist name like "Benny Benassi" , "David Guetta")

- Should has a dedicate application volume control.

- Should has a connection status, sometime I little confuse after tapping my song and wait for a connection that I already have press to play or not.

Keep up the good work, Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Fastforward does work, just drag the progresslider.

I agree with your suggestions, ill implement a progressbar as soon as possible.

im experiencing some problems today. The guys where updating the servers so thats why search was working improperly. You can also use an astrix so search for david*guetta

FIXED FOR THE NEXT RELEASE:

- space becomes astrix in search. So better search results.

- playlist will be updated and saved in the isolated storage after deleting items

- some small incosistencies

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] fiinix:
Great! Thanks for sharing such great app :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] diboze:
first of all: your app works perfectly :)

problem here is only: i only have nice speeds for streaming at home (wifi) or in some areas outside...

It still downloads every music file i play everytime i click on it...thought it works offline?

One thing: Is it possible to make the files save to a directory where zune music on the phone can access it, too? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Thank you.

Submitted to the marketplace, let's hope it will get trough. Since a youtube downloader was able to get trough there is hope :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Haha no downloading to the zune folder thats not possible, and very piracy.

Well it does exactly what you say, and it downloads and streams at the same time. If the downloading text goes away the file that was downloading is now stored in your isolated storage. Now you are able to click a different file and download that one, if you click on the previous song it ill start playing instantly.

The reason why I implemented it this way is because of performance and because there is no direct way to capture a streaming file. So it has to be done separately and at the same time most people want to preview or instantly play the song before downloading so that is why it will begin streaming and than downloads whatever song is streaming one by one.

Dont worry, I thought a lot about the implementation, this worked best for me its not the most logical way, but thats due to the lack of mediaelement API's and not b/c of me :)

All data should be downloaded before it can be saved, if the file is fully downloaded the downloading text will disappear. There is no other way to implement streaming and downloading at the same time... however I can add a separate progressbar which will indicate the percentage downloaded. I might do that for the next release :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] diboze:
For me the most use of the program comes by being able to listen to a song you dont have on the phone but u want to listen to right now. So its not really about piracy (at least for me).

As some might have a dataplan an option with ([on] streaming | [off] downloading) and ([off] streaming] | [on] downloading) would be cool :)
