Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Reason being is because there are different versions of Android and hasnt been around as long as Iphone. So apps are slower coming out and Iphone one version everything runs. But now since there's a large market for android users developers are working with both. The funny thing is i hear "Win Mo is a business phone". What do i see lawyers, doctors, CEO's walking around with? Iphone. lol I would never buy a iphone, but i am glad android is here to switch things up.

PS: "Personal Assistant" takes care of all your monthly accounts. "even available on Win Mo"

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I tried 3 different sites with the droid where I normally download from my pro 2, the thing wouldnt download crap...... Maybe from a special down syndrome android place... But as far as downloading anything like the pro 2..... No way, I put money that says I can download way more than mandroid operating system.......

Please post a link where ya got this 1 gig of music...... I would like to know, ive tried 3 different places, like here it wont download http://fank.mobi/mp3/track/g/36118/64/ hell it dont even show the download box on androids default browser....

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Possibly.. kinda like I could put money that her phone would get to the site and load 10 times faster than yours without all of the typical lagging...or that fresh out of the box its way faster and more responsive. And theres no need to deny it because I have a tp2 and compare the speed and functionality on it to her droid on pretty much a daily basis. Its not really that serious to me to get into a pissing match about it considering thats one of the very few advantages that the tp2 has over it. And again, this is only the second version of android... the 6th of winmo.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

smh @ going back to edit your post

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

BTW I used album hunt DIRECTLY from the opera browser ON the phone. Used androzip to unzip it and store it to the storage card. Any more questions?

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

huh??????? No link ahahaha what a joke, i provided a link that mandroid wont even show the download box, and the web os just streams it........

Not trying to start a fight, just wanting some proof, If im wrong I may reconsider Mandroid, but untill I can see evidence of it downloading (what about uploading) Id like to know... Post a link please :u


i even tried downloading any file here from ppcgeeks, it said, file type not supported..... lol how lame...........

I wanna believe in android, but all my tests ive done have failed....... If you proved to me, android can download as much as the tp2, on almost any site like the tp2, I may consider android........ But me in person trying with that link compaired to you saying it does dont make sense to me..........

and whats wrong with editing a post.....lol If ya shake ya head at that then let me SMH AT YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD FROM A EDIT...LOL


also why in the android forum ya dont see attachments, or many????????

Either its not freeware and cant be uploaded, or it dont matter cause mandroid couldnt download it anyway.........

edit: I googled that album hunt and would like to say cool.... Is that it?????? What about funformobile, can ya download from there????????

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Maybe because im at work and dont have time to go look up a link and post it. You claimed that it couldnt download from the net now you need a link.. and you posted that AFTER I had already posted.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

how hard is it to look up a link n post it????? its as easy as, open the browser to the page, copy address, come here, post it.......lol


takes like 2 sec but yet ya can write?????????

Ok lets try this, from ya Droid, upload a apk file

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

not to get into your pissing fight, but your point of 6th of winmo and 2nd of android is a useless fact. Android just came out last year and like you said winmo has been around for awhile but to compare winmo6.1 and before to any platform in 2010 is ridiculous, how would you even expect those to compare? any os that comes out now will take what winmo did many moons ago and advance it. now back to your fight.

This is just a joke...... Sounds like its possible, but still causes bugs :lol


Android needs a app for everything......

And the point where ya browser can get there 10 xs faster! Are you joking, I went to ppcgeeks on the android browser and it took 35 sec to my pro2s 20 sec on a non proxied browser, throw in opera 4.2, skyfire, 9.7 turbo and Ill smoke that android browser in speed.........

I also heard the latest android update has caused the browser to slow down by 50 to 60 %..... Just obsurd, No phone is perfect, but when ya gotta get apps to download files or a app to store it to the sd card, thats wrong...... :d

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Yeah! Cause everyone here knows that you dont have to Hack WM just to get basic functionality out of it lol :rolleyes:
Android can download any file type with one simple app added on. Is it a big deal to have to add an app? Probably not any harder than copy and pasting a link lol. I guess since WM is so capable right out of the box you probably haven't changed anything on your TP2 or added any apps to it have you?

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Actually no, I havent had to hack this to get it to do basic stuff... My tp2 tethers out the box no reg edits or rooting or etc.. My tp2 downloads any file out the box, my tp2 saves apps to the sd card out the box..... The only thing I can say I added that it didnt come with that should have came stock is coreplayer for all the vids.......

Everything else I have are just apps, fun apps n stuff, but as far as needing apps for everything basic like saving apps, No my tp2 dont need that........

Im on a stock rom and it does alot more out the box than android, I jjust named some........ Those which I dont need a app for...

also, Notice the lack of attachments in the droid thread.... Why is that????? Because either ya gottaay for em and posting here would be a no no, or the damn thing cant download it.....lol

Enough with Winmo vs Android... You enjoy android, Ill enjoy winmo........ It does more out the box I just proved it, and thats only a few............

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

meh.. WinMo is still the king.. for versatility and customization, end of story.

Sure it's having a lull while Android gets some primetime, but mark my words, winmo7 with the new high speed CPUs, will knock Android the f**k out..or at least give Android a black eye :D

Android is still essentially a niche market and will remain so. BTW i think Android isn't too bad, but winmo gets my vote every single time.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Wimax and LTE are close enough, Clearwire is setting up Wimax so that later down the line should Sprint want to switch to LTE they can easily do that. In the latest testing verizon has done, lte usually maxes out at 16 mbps in realworld usage, though its capable of 100 mbps, Wimax is maxing out at the same in real world, but is capable of upto 70 mbps, so what is the difference?
Who cares, anyways, untill we have hardware that can truly take advantage of what those technologies offer, who cares about who has what if the maxing are speeds are so similar. Plus when Sprint finishes it rolls, anytime along that line they can choose to switch to lte, and hopefully by then hardware and battery tech can take advantage of what it can offer.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

agree

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

You are very under informed on Android. Android is way more capable than WM and everything works well without all the glitches that WM had. I'm not here to sell you Android, if you want to like WM thats your prerogative, but you keep stating fallacies about Android as facts because you lack experience with the OS. Android also tethers, with (you guessed it) a free app. When I used WM to tether (less than 2 months ago) it required a custom ROM. There's no need to install apps to the SD card, I have 118 apps on mine and have only used half of the 256mb of internal memory. Only the .exe of the app installs on the phone all the data for the apps actually goes to the SD card automatically. There are very few attachments in the Android forum because most programs dont install from your computer, so most apps are posted as links rather than attachments. You're also wrong about paying for apps, around 80% of the 18,000 apps available for android are free, and the ones that arent free are less than 5.00. Once again you also mention not being to download things, which is also false. All apps for android can be downloaded without problem. If you want to download files that arent recognized by default, all you have to do is download one app that allows any file type to be downloaded to the phone. Like I said, I dont care if you like Android or not, but posting incorrect info as fact just isnt cool.

Have you not seen how easy it is to customize Android? Just like almost every other android user on this forum I spent a lot of time with WM before I got an Android device. Android is gaining market share fast and doesnt show any signs of slowing. Most news sources predict Android to be second, right behind the iphone in 2012 http://cache.techie-buzz.com/images/...ember_2009.png

I loved WM, and if WM 7 is amazing then I'll go back to WM, but to compare the two operating systems right now, WM doesnt stand a chance. I would like for WM to come back, but I predict that Android, Blackberry and iPhone will continue to steamroll WM.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

There's nothing wrong with WinMo that *gasp* a little customization and tweaking doesn't fix. Which is exactly what you have to do on the iPhone just to get it into Jailbroken mode. I'd call -that- 'total garbage'.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

lol some of these folks are just brainwashed... worse than those iphone folks. Just cant see reality for what it is and admit that WM right now is a piece of garbage without customizing it. And yea I have a TP2

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

That's what bothers me about these fanatics. Its like if you dare mention something else, all of a sudden you get called a troll. I like technology for technologies sake, I don't have any loyalty for anyone or any company and that's how it should be. Weak minded people are too scared of options.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I had an iphone and think the android based devices are sweet but I have come back to windows because I like customizing it from the basic setup we all love/hate but what I am hoping for is being able to get the HD2 (I have the Touch Pro 2 right now) and be able to run android and windows not of course at the same time but choose one then reboot and bam up comes android, choose windows and reboot bam you have windows. Is there anymore word on mobile 7? Looking forward to all the great skins and apps coming in the near future let the battles rage.....................they are all getting better all the time.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

True, I wish the Palm OS had done better. Competition inspires innovation, so the more OS's we have competing for market share the more new features we'll see on a regular basis.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Might this entire thread, just like the OP's last thread, be in the wrong forum section?

This is, still, the sub-forum for Touch Pro 2's?

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

OK BREAKMYFOOTOFF, I hope your right, I got the nexus one on the way, so Im coming to you for some android help if I need it??????

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

my brother got his nexus last week, you will love it. i'm still holding off for the hd2. That amoled screen is something though.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

awesome dude.. Thanks. Yea, I have a feeling i will not miss winm till the Leo drops, then ill get that too....

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

make sure you download google sky maps, that app will blow your mind.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

nice, itll be one of my first apps I get..... Dang gotta wait till monda.....

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I wouldnt think of calling myself an "expert", but I've learned quite a bit about Android and I'll definitely try to help with any issues or questions you may have :). I think I'm gonna put together a list of 100 or so of my favorite apps with links and info for anyone just getting into Android too, I'll make sure to direct you to it if you want (just started on it after I posted this, I should have it posted up by tomorrow evening) :). Along with Google Skymap, a couple of the very first apps you're going to want/need will be

1: Astro File manager: I would list this one as a must have. Besides just exploring files in your SD card it can read zip, tgz files, has it's own Image viewer, selectable tool icons, has a task killer, shows SD card usage, Backup & restore multiple apps, send files as attachments, allow downloads of any file type, and search for files on your phone.

2: Handcent SMS: Much better texting software. Looks nicer, easier to read, and lots of options/utilities.

3. Beautiful Widgets: Looks VERY classy on the home screen and gives a brief view of important info including time, full date, and weather. This one is 1.49, and it's the only app in this list that isnt free, but I think it's totally worth the buck 49

4: PDA Net free adition: Allows easy tethering for your Droid!!!!!!! They took all the steps and made it automatic in an app, much like the internet sharing app for WM.

5: Barcode Reader: I think we all know this app by now, but if you dont, go get it and check it out :grin:. Also a great tool to use for installing apps from www.androlib.com

6: Ringdroid: Awesome app, makes it easy to add any mp3 as a ringtone. Very similar to the MP3 Trimmer from WM.

7: i Music: Haven't NOT found a single MP3 file i searched for yet. Saves them to iMusic folder on your SD card.

8: Pandora you know this one I'm sure

9: Shazaam: Same as Music ID

10: TuneWiki: an alternative music player to Android's native music player. Pulls lyrics from a data base that is displayed on the screen in real time (corresponds with current lyrics being sung in the song karaoke style).

Also, as mentioned briefly in the list above, www.androlib.com has a complete list of apps available for Android, complete with descriptions, reviews, and QRcodes that you can scan with "bar code scanner" to make it easy to just scan the screen with your phone and go straight to the install :)


Edit: I never would have thought you would go out and get an Android phone, kudos to you for being open enough to try it out first hand. I really think you'll like it a lot. I like it a lot better than the current offering from WM and it's not like I just used WM for a couple of weeks either. I used and supported WM for the last few years before giving Android a shot and there's no way I'd consider going back to WM now (at least not until we see how WM7 turns out). It will most likely take you a few days of digging around in the phone to get used to where everything is and how to use it, but the adaptation isn't too bad :)

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Wow, thanks for this list....... Ill definantly bookmark your posy and go grab those apps, and check that link......................

Ive been fighting strong for Winmo The past year or so, and as you were aware even some discussions on why Winmo is better, but you have mad me wonder, If i can save apps to sd card, download any app like mp3s from somehwere and Tether, Im golded, and Before I try and act like I know all about android I wanna try it and get a real opinion...

The nexus on looks awesome and the specs are making me excited and I cant wait till tomorrow.............

I guess I just dont wanna except the fact that good OL trusty winmo is falling short lately, I love HtC and the n1 is atleast that..... So, here I go to venture in to Android.....................

So, What is rooting and what will it allow me to do?????? Is it nececarry???????? Shit

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

rooting probably won't be necessary as your phone works right out of the box. Custom roms are not necessary.

I'm glad you haven't given up on winmo yet because the specs for the tmobile hd2 came out and it has more ram and rom then the uk version. it also comes with a 16gb card.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-hd2#tech-specs

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

cool, then I wont worry about rooting....

Wow, the Leos specs look aweeeeesome..... 1gb ram wow..... No havent given up on winmo yet and will be getting the Leo also when it drops.....

Thanks for the heads up..

Edit: I bet the extra rom is dedicated for Sense UI........ since in the past tflo hogs ram......

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I pulled the trigger also. I ordered the nexus one. I will use this phone till the hd2 comes out. I sold my sprint tp2 for 295 and i just shipped it :( (bye bye tp2 forum). once the hd2 comes out i will sell my nexus. I still have a tp1 lying around i will leave that on my sprint account because i definitely don't want to cancel my 29.99 sero plan. $30 sero, 500 min unlimited data and text, $59.99 tmobile-500 min, unlimited data and text. Damn thats still cheaper then verizon and att with unlimited data :)

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Can the Nexus one be used as a modem (Tethered or phone as a modem) the way that the TP's can?

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

yes it can. its one of the top 10 apps for the nexus at the moment. without rooting your nexus you can only do wifi tethering.. Rooting is the same as unlocking, you have to root your phone if you want usb tethering.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Here's a link to the thread I was telling Dragon I was going to create for anyone thats interested. Normally I wouldnt go posting Android stuff in the TP2 forum, but this thread kinda went that direction lol :p :spam1:

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

Sweet man thanks... So I'm on day 3 with my Nexus one and I love it. Its sweet as can be and android OS is actually pretty sweet and I actually like it more than winmo. THANKS AGAIN and ill check that link.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

you can download in the car while driving and your phone plugged in (if you live in a giant city with terrible traffic)


btw, can you install programs to sd on android if you have it rooted/flashed?

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I may jump to the tmo hd2 if mwc doesn't impress me with a slider which I'm hoping it does

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

i can promise you, you won't be disappointed. my 3g always gets faster download times then evdo, everytime. as long as the tmobile coverage map says your good, you will not have any problems with tmobile. their coverage map is very accurate.

Re: Dump TP2 for Nexus One or HD2?
 

I'm mostly concerned with chicago, LA and china (3 places I know I will be in the future) so 3g is a must. I won't get the touch hd2 at launch but probably around may or june unless I find an extremely good price on craigslist

also I am wondering on the typing experience on the touch hd2 - with spb full keyboard does it make things livable? I wonder
