[Q] Portable drive - General Questions and Answers

Currently and HTC Touch Pro user using Energy ROM (thanks!) and having come to the end of my contract I am now looking at getting a new phone. I am considering an HTC Desire Z or the HTC 7 Trophy. Let's be clear, this isn't a "what phone or OS is best" question.
I currently use a 16gb micro SD card in my Touch Pro which I load up with music. I can connect this in my BMW and the head unit can read the file system of the SD card and display / play the music.
Simple straight question, is this possible with Android and Win 7 devices?

About to buy a new phone, need some advise...

Hi,
I've been using a Siemens SX56 for the past three years. Time to switch phone.
I don't want one of the latest phones. Features should be the same as the XDA I plus:
Camera that does MP4
Keyboard
Wifi (optional)
SD slot (not mini SD because I have plenty SD cards I'd like to keep using)
Any clues?
Many thanks, kind regards,
Marton

[Q] New Phone Suggestions

Hello, I am currently looking for a new phone with a new 2yr contract and I was wondering what everyone's opinions are. I am currently looking for:
Except for AT&T(Didnt like the service) any of the other Providers are fine
Physical Keyboard is Fine, (not needed).
Good GPU tests
Decent size screen
At least 2GB internal space
1GB Processor
HD Video playback
Must have Android OS !!!
Please reply with your suggestions. Thanks!
I'd suggest the HTC HD2, because you can have the best of both worlds, Android 2.2 and Windows Mobile 6.5.*, and Windows Mobile 7 will be ported to it. Don't know if it's on AT T though.
If you want an exclusive android phone though, the G2, Desire HD or Desire Z may interest you
Hmmm What do you all think of the galaxy phones and the Droid X, 2, Evo, and the G2?

[Q] Windows / Android / Symbian?

I have for the Past 9-10 months been with Three in the UK using a Sim Free Xperia X1, however because of the Merger between Orange and T-Mobile, orange have stopped providing a Back-up network service for Three customers in 'Black Spots' I have spoken to Three and they have allowed me to Terminate my Contract 8 Months early, this is where my dilema lies.
Iam stuck with either using Orange or T-Mobile as other carriers do not get a good signal at both my Work and Home post codes.
So with my network chosen i must move onto handsets;
I have narrowed my choice down to 3:
- Nokia N8 (Symbian^3)
-HTC HD2 Rugged (WinMo 6.5) (Comes with d3o Case, Stylus, extended battery)
-HTC Desire HD (Android 2.2)
Iam automatically tempted by the HD2 as i have been running NRG's line of ROM's on my X1 since I bought it and I believe you can Dual-Boot with Android.
Or do I go with Trusted Android or experiment with the N8, whose hardware rocks and Nokia have said that they will continue supporting it for the forseeable future.
Price does not come into it as all three cost roughly the same on a 24 month Orange / T-Mobile Contract.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't believe in Nokia since my first N-Gage phone..
so it would be HD2 or Desire HD.. if you want smooth Android ONLY, choose Desire HD.. or if you want something more than just Android, choose HD2.. I'm currently running ported buld from Desire HD..

Ive not attempted to run Android on my X1, but with the HD2 having better hardware is Android smooth?, can I access the Marketplace? Do all of the functions like Bluetooth / Camera / Internet work?
What about the new Sense.com integration with the Desire HD, can that work on the HD2?
Or Perhaps can I run WinMo on the Desire HD?

Hello,
I'm a very new xda-forum member and also a HTC DHD user.
It is my first Android mobile. The only problem/limitation I can
report is: Android in normal release cannot use WIFI Proxies.
I used it on Symbian, knowing it for iPhone and Windows Mob.,
so I was surprised that Android cannot do it. When you need
it - be carefull.

I just got rid of my Symbian s60v5 phone and I would NEVER go back to a touch-screen Symbian device. It's laggy, not user-friendly, it crashes (especially when you have 1gb of data in the phone), it's incomplete (on a 2009 phone I didn't have countdown timer & stopwatch), and it's a pretty hard work to configure internet access in all of the phone (maps, mail, web, video streaming etc).
Take my advice, DON'T BUY A SYMBIAN unless you have nerves of steel)
2000++ quadrant is quite fast, I think.. not yet overclocked..
Always download from market, using 3G connection.. I can track my phone via htcsense.com using new sense from desire hd.. anything else?

Nokia N8 is better than both of them.
Android of corse!

[Q] iDream 7066 Phablet import from China - UK

Hi Guys,
so after 3 days of research, about 54 hours in so far I have managed much but still got much to conquer
I have found out it has 2 os running on it (or i think it does) samsung note and htc dream. however it is a custom build (v p1000_V052
I have emailed the company i got it from asking for more information on the custom build but being a total noob on this im only so far in on my journey.
Its running 4.2.2 the only main issue with the device is the fact i cant flip the storage from external to internal as i only have 500mb to play with.
ive tried using external 2 internal but i read up it doesn't work on samsung devices which leads me to believe that the main os is the note as i cant flip it.
i am having all be it limited success in installing apps then transferring over to sd card using move to sd card app.
its frustrating that i cant find how to flip my storage over. considering it gives me the option of what storage to use!!
any suggestions?
