Hi all
I get my new Xoom with 3G from Expansys France last week and it works great, however I’m used to HTC android phones and I love the “exchange ActiveSync” connector.
Not surprise for me was the crap of connector that Motorola brings to mail from exchange, I was already aware by reading the forums that the corporate has a limit to 1 month and lacks on a search function (…which is quite ironic coming from google).
Everybody advises the touchdown but I tried and I think the GUI quite bad, is there a way to get the “HTC Exchange ActiveSync” into the xoom?
If not possible to use the connector from HTC, is there a viable solution to touchdown?
I have been looking to forums last days and find nothing.
Thanks

I currently have a Samsung Omnia with Verizon Wireless service. It seems to work fairly well now that I'm using SPB Mobile Shell and few other cool utilities. However, the reviews I've read say that there's a good chance it's gonna start glitching on me and I'm gonna hate it in a few months.
I just got an e-mail from Best Buy about a $50 discount on the HTC Droid Eris. I had already been considering switching to Android because it's where things are heading, and there are more apps available out of the box. The chief complaint I hear about Droid Eris is the battery life being awful and the fact that you can't install apps on your storage card, which quickly fills up your system memory.
I'm wondering if anyone else has an opinion on the matter. Is Android gonna be better in the long run or should I just stick it out for 2 years and hope for good WinMo updates? Is the Eris simply better hardware than the Omnia? Any thoughts?
Thanks.

+1 Droid Eris!
I had Omnia for a year..ran all sorts of custom roms...lvoedit..but then it finally started getting slower and slower compared to other phones...
today i got my droid eris.....

SWEET!!!!! ahhah..this thing has tons of customization ability..as soon as people start messing with it...it'll be a hit...super fast...super sensitive...
did i mention android??? [2.0 update comes out early 2010...cant wait!] only thing better than droid eris for verizon customers is droid.. [its bigger & faster, but heavier]
Eris Droid has no bluetooth dialing capabilities
I will be returning the Eris Droid that I bought today. After trying for some time to get the bluetooth voice dialer to work, I googled it and found that THOUSANDS of disgruntled Eris buyers discovered that there is no capability for it and say they will return it to the Verizon store. The instructions say that you can MAKE and receive calls via the Bluetooth headset. The only way you can do that is with voice dialing. Every cheap cell phone and smartphone I've had for 6 years has had that capability. In a world where using a cell phone while driving is unlawful in many states, this is NOT a trivial feature. This was either an engineering fiasco or a marketing scheme whereby Google and Verizon and Motorola can make more money when they introduce the upgraded BLUETOOTH VOICE DIALER enhanced droid.
Hey guys
although I think my HD2 is simply fantastic, i need a physical keyboard. I've had the HD2 for 6 months (?) now and I simply cannot type at the speeds I used to be able to on my old Tosh G900.
So, I want a high spec (like the Droid X), large 4"+ screen phone with a slide out keyboard. Apart from the Tosh KG02 (I think thats the model name) which appears to only be available in Asia, are there any out there or on the near horizon?
(Android or WinMob but would prefer WinMob)
Thanks loads!!!!!
+1 to know about your question!
Samsung EPIC 4G for Sprint.
wait for the HTC Vision
i was looking for that too but couldnt find one got the desire, the other things you gotta want are nvidia tegra chipset and a pixel qi screen that would be my ultimate
Sad day ....
sadly, very sadly, Android still doesn't support Exchange properly. These phones look great but as I've found out, WM is still the only way of supporting (for me VITAL) Exchange....
Can you tell me what part of Exchange support is not working in Android?
I've been using 2 Exchange servers in Android 2.1 and now 2.2 on my TP2 without any problems. In fact, I never managed to use 2 Exchange servers in WinMo and ActiveSync always stopped synching after a bit.
But maybe it's just me not using any fancy Exchange features
I sync e-mail, contacts and calendar from both accounts in Android.
tasks don't sync.
I've still also had no confirmation that the "Notes" section of a contact sync or the photo's I have associated with people.
Link to Talk Android thread
Also, I am looking for a MS OneNote alternative, one that allows me to make detailed notes on the PC or phone and have them sync both ways.
Hi,
I need help choosing a new PPC.
With Android available and WM seemingly not keeping up I am not sure I should stay devoted to WM.
I have been a WM user for years (Blackjack, Kaiser) and here's what I enjoy about the platform.
>Modification (Love to tweak reg etc)
>Exchange Sync (Calendar, notes, and contacts not email at this time)
>Apps (Bittorrent, good browser? I don't really care about flash but its fun to have )
>Office Mobile Pro (Is there a Open Office for Android or other *.doc *.xcl editors?)
Is Android an option for a universal user (business minded with pleasure added)
My criteria
I would prefer a hardware keyboard as I have never used anything else and think the switch to a touch screen keyboard would be painful as I enjoy the tactile feel of a button and a qwerty keyboard. Is the switch hard, does the onscreen keyboard minimize what you can see on the screen or other quirks or if I was at home would a blue-tooth keyboard be an option etc..?
Good Stereo BT (still stack issues? with both?)
Wifi
Wifi hot spot
4g (I live in Bethlehem/Allentown Pa 40 minutes north of philly and 50 minutes south of NYC, its not available yet but this area is stuck in the middle)
Carrier isn't an issue, I will go with any.
Cost is not an issue.
HTC fan but it doesn't really matter.
Gyro whats? d.n.a. or should it?
Gps? d.n.a
thanks for reading and hope you can help
Well you are in the middle of Verizon country. The X is looking pretty nifty as well as the Incredible. I am so far from my 2yr. (may 2011 ) But you can play with them for 30 days and decide.
good day.
Thank you for your reply.
I am a little confused on the being in Verizon country comment though since I just moved here so...
Special circumstances...
I work a 6 day week @ 65 hrs plus driving time + 6hrs (thats a bicycle actually) so my time is very limited and getting to a store is harder than it should and why I was asking for help and purchase something online instead making it very hard to return or physically try before.
I have a mini-laptop so maybe exchange sync isnt that important but not having a hardware keyboard does make a difference as well as moving to android, scary.

With all the traveling I have ever done on the east coast service was always better than my home town. Just always seemed to be VZW heavy in that part of the country.
I myself am going to wait to see how the WP7 pans out being a winmo guy myself.
First I would edit the title of your post to recommend a device or something to that nature.
Next check the sites of carriers for devices offered. I would find it real hard to get a device without having it in my hand. And speaking from experience any carrier's corporate locations are much better to deal with than an "authorized retailer".
Also THIS SITE has a lot of great videos and current device reviews.
good luck in the hunt.
good day.
Again Thank you, I don't know what happened to my title....
I bought my at&t tilt from just reading reviews and satisfied 100% percent with what I expected except its weight.
I am going to have great service from any company because where I live as I stated prior. Though my blackjacks radio was strong the phone wasn't very loud voice wise and both wm devices (the tilt) had a terrible time with my different stereo bluetooth headsets when it came to calls but music never had an issue.
I paid for allot of software for wm as well and hate to see them go to waste, (Resco explorer, yes I bought Opera mobile too pre beta/pre knowing about cooked roms...), but if droid can do the same with no need then it doesnt matter.
Keyboard and office Mobile and bluetooth are still an issue I have to consider with help hopefully.
Well I have been using a wm device since the 8125 and hve had most of the HTC wm phones available up to and including the tilt 2. Along the way I did see lots of growth and customization on this OS. we also saw improvements and new features along the way, however we also saw a lot of issues. With each new phone and or update to the OS I prayed that maybe they got this one right. I was almost always disappointed, sometimes things just would not work. Sure wm devices had the best feAtures but what good are they if they aren't reliable?
I spend months customizing my phones and you can do this on android, just not to the extent thAT you could with wm, But everything works.
I have had slide out keyboards for years, and tilting screens to boot, for the last 2 years or so, so I am still getting used to this on screen kb, but its easier than I thought it would be.
Also getting all of your outlook info synced with android is proving to not be straight forward. Not to mention all the calendar options seems a little confusing and lacking, but I just got my evo 2 weeks ago.
The gps and Google maps and navigation that were built into my phone seems much faster and accurate then my experience with past phones, I get a fix in less than one second everytime.
I wasn't going to let myself get talked into wm7, there's lots of reasons why it might be the worse wm to date, but all my info on wm7 is second hand. I loved my tilt 2, I never stopped customizing it and I still want to use it, but I am going to make my self forget about it and give this evo a shot, love the screen BTW.
On a side note, android doesn't seem to support Bluetooth keyboards wich is a huge setback for me. I'm on the road a lot too and I put a lot of effort into making my mobile devices replace my laptops.
Way off point, but I bet us power users users get more work done on these mobile devices than the averAge desktop user, and its kinda nice.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I see the droid 2 has a hardware qwerty keyboard...?
I am to tired to think after nearly 70 hr work weeks and trying to grasp each of these devices.. Reviewing allot of devices
On a side note I see the 2 year plan requirements, does that have to include the unlimited data, at&t screwed us on that one (Iphone users got theirs for $29 per month and all other smartphones were $10 bucks more) now they changed their data plans...
This phone is amazing. Very surprised by the poor sales of WP7? I mean why wouldn't anyone want it! Previous iOS and Android user. Love WP7... Don't think ill go back... Maybe EVO 3D just to stay on top of tech untill newer WP7 Sprint phone
I agree, Love WP7 despite the lack of Mango. I guess it's a multiple reason situation. Recent report of sales reps steering customers away from the OS. Users that can't live without tethering. Others who are addicted to customising WinMo who have transitioned to Android. Maybe some don't like the size,weight,keyboard. Doesn't help either that on Sprint we only have one choice so far. I like it so far that I am willing to wait it all out.
I like the phone too. However WP7 is just not functional enough for me. To be honest I bought the hardware only and I am trying to figure out a way to change the OS. I need a vpn client with certificate support, full exchange support and good JAVA. Unfortunately this device supports nothing out of the box. No VPN, no Exchange sync via wifi ... Just that the JAVA is native, but I do not need it as I cannot connect to my corp system without VPN.
Further music and videos are pain in the ars as the most common formats are not supported.
Please review my questions in the Android on HTC arrive thread in this section if you have some extensive knowledge and if you are willing to help me run something different on this device.
No idea, friend. I had to forgo 4G to get this phone but WP7 was so compelling that there are now 2 gleeful Arrive users in my household. We love these things to pieces and Mango is going to make them even more excellent. I can seriously say that MS has knocked it out of the park with this one and I stand behind the platform all the way.

Sorry drelisimo, but I think that you are mistaken. WP7 certainly does support exchange sync over Wifi. I have done it on 4 different WP7 devices MANY times.
I agree that java and VPN are another matter, but then if you had done your homework before buying the device, you wouldn't have had any nasty suprises.
As I said I bought hardware with the idea to tackle the OS later somehow. I did my homework and I am not surprized.
Anyway, would you please tell me how did you sync your exchange over wifi? It always tells me that I need my data connections to be turned on.
Thanks.
as stated, probably the largest reason Windows Phone 7 sales are so slow is because sales representatives aren't pushing the products.
an example article found here --> You Can't Buy A Windows Phone If They Won't Sell You One.

currently, there is a sales offer where i can get the 7 Pro for half the price, is it worth?

The only 2 things its missing is tethering and downloading files straight to the phone.
If I had these two features there would be no doubt that this phone was huge upgrade from the tp1
Hopefully we'll get tethering figured out in the next few weeks and hopefully someone smarter than me is working on a way to download files to the phone
(did that all the time with mp3s on my tp1)

I would say that the two biggest gaps are tethering and 3G-only. That being said, I love the device so much that I easily overlook those features.
I actually am fine with 3g. Almost everywhere I go has wifi. 4g kills battery life. 3g is pretty fast for most everything I do.
Mango will address every complaint I have, but until then, I am still a very happy camper.
I have not received the info, but after further research I just understood that I am asking stupid things.
Otherwise ... the phone is maybe the best piece of mobile hardware I have ever acquired.
Cheers.
Purchased the HTC One after the usb connection on my HD2 eventually gave out and it appears that was a BIG mistake.
I need a business phone that works well and syncs with Thunderbird, or if not Thunderbird I could go back to Outlook.
Cannot stand this horrible HTC One, nothing works well, most apps fall over, Google has it's scalpware fixed into everything, is it the phone or is it Android?
Should I go back to Windows?
Should I go for a second hand HD2?
I would prefer to sell the HTC and buy a new phone so any advice or recommendations would be most welcome.
Regards
i think its more of an application issue rather than Android.
With what apps do you have problems?

Hi Larsjuh1987
Mainly problems on business oriented apps like Leica Sketch and Car Dock apps.
With the car docks the main problem appears to be with the voice search, but it's to be expected because voice search has to go through google so they can scalp information. Fine in a country with adequate cellular coverage but I am in UK and the system can only be described as "third rate".
The app developers recommend getting around this by running the voice search on the phone, like my old HD2 and even older iPaq, but it's not available on this phone.
I am thinking a Windows 8 phone may sort this out but I have no idea if it has the ability to voice search offline.
This again is where apple score although it's not a good business phone.
I get the impression from developers that Android works on most phones, it's just the HTC One thats not very good.
Treated myself to the Plantronics Voyager Legend headset, fine on my old HD2 and my colleagues Galaxy but not on HTC One, so I am having to use an old Plantronics 510!
I wish I was more confident to load a ROM from XDA and get around the problem that way.
Thanks for your reply.
