Which OS do you prefer? I have used each one and I like Android the best. I am currently running Gingerbread on my HD2. Android is the most customizable, which is why I like it the most.
I have an HD2 also...been looking for a complete working android port. does Gingerbread work completely or are certain things unusable? How does it run overall? any input would be appreciated
android OS is nice.. but best hardware is still Apples Iphone4 in my opinion. That thing is just a beauty to hold and look at it. Also the screen on it is just amazing.
Everything works perfect! I have been trying for a long time before I found one that works! Only thing I found that was messed up was, I couldn't connect to the wifi as A&M. but wifi and home works fine. I can even tether. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/91mnfufny-Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This is the tutorial I used. And got Gingerbread from the xda forums.
thanks...can you switch between sense and android or is a full android port? Market fully functional? have you had trouble with wi-fi anywhere else than A & M?
I haven't tried to switch back. I am sure there is a way. Whenever u boot it will be android. Also I didn't have problem anywhere else. It wouldn't authenticate or something.
i know why wifi at TAMU wouldnt connect, seems like someone was running the same port of android as you and there was a mac address conflict.. this is due to the mac address being hard coded in the rom and it not seeing your specific mac address. im running android also on my hd2, everything works perfect.
So how should I fix this? I am not very tech savvy. I just followed directions. Yes the Market is fully functional.
If you are talking about functionality here's how I see it. We are basing it on the OS here and nothing to do with the quantity of Apps. 1.webOS(function like a strip down intuitive touchscreen desktop) 2.Android(still growing) 3.Windows 4.iOS(too simplistic and boring. It's just a place holder with Apps)
Didn't vote because I don't have anything but an Iphone to comapare. I could easily go back to a regular cell phone and laptop or desktop PC. I don't play games on the thing and I really only use it for checking email, usually work related, texting and checking traffic or weather. I won't re-up when the contract is over.
Only smart phone i've ever had has been an Iphone. As time has gone on I have progressively been more and more displeased with Apple. Will definitley be trying out a windows phone in the near future.
They all are good, and have their positives and negatives. I prefer the iPhone, but have been very impressed with my time with Windows Phone 7. iPhone: Smoothest, most responsive and polished of the mobile OSes. Least customizable (at least without jailbreaking) of the three; very few options to tailor and personalize. Best app store available, has the best support in terms of apps/software and is unmatched in mobile phone gaming. However, Apple keeps many of the basic functions of the phone locked down; you will have less options in terms of other browsers, etc. Great media player as well, good integration with downloadable content like movies and podcasts. Locked to (now) 2 carriers, ATT and Verizon but can be unlocked. Yearly refresh cycle. Android: Most 'open' and customizable OS. Great integration with Google's tools like gmail. Often a 'clunkier' and less responsive UI, many phones do not use hardware acceleration. Can also be jailbroken/unlocked/rooted. Marketplace is a work in progress, less support and often gets apps later. On the plus side, more options with what you use on the phone (email clients, browsers, etc.) Mobile gaming pretty poor, might change with Playstation support. Tons of options in terms of carriers and handset makers, but this also leads to the phones sometimes covered with proprietary UI from the various makers (HTC, Motorola, Samsung, etc.) and a hit or miss result in terms of updates to the software; phones will sometimes get the newest updates, others will get them much later, some not at all. All dependent on decision of handset maker. Windows Phone: Closest thing to the smoothness and responsiveness of the iPhone UI and in some ways better; it's also very unique and stands out in comparison to iOS and Android. Customization lies somewhere in the middle. Marketplace fairly small right now, though MS will probably push for more support. Gaming also small, but could also change with XBOX Live support included. Missing some very standard features now found in the other mobile OSes, such as cut and paste and multitasking. Updates have been delayed and seem slow in arriving. Great integration with Windows software like mobile Office and social networking like Facebook. Also found on different carriers. Really, if you are looking to get into smartphones for the first time, you can't go 'wrong' with any of them.
