Comes from Windows Phones: What Android device should I consider? - Android General

Good day!
I have been a loyal Windows Mobile 6.5 -> Windows 10 Mobile user since HTC HD2. (HTC HD2, HTC TITAN, Nokia Lumia 620, Nokia Lumia 925, Nokia Lumia 520, Nokia Lumia 930, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL (again).)
I tried CM on the HTC HD2 ages ago, and wonder if i should get back on that Android horse.
This guy didn't receive any response from you guys: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/switch-windows-mobile-to-android-t3521660
But his questions are not like mine..
What phone should i buy?
My requirements are as follows:
1. Price tag - as this is my first Android device, I want to see if it's for me (Budget set for around £200)
2. Phone MUST run smooth.
3. Phone MUST be able to be rooted.
4. Extended battery life is always a plus.
5. Fingerprint reader would be nice
This list is prioritized.
I really would like your inputs in this matter.

[Q] Samsung or HTC (WP7)

I want to buy a windows phone 7 device.
I've read some reviews but I don't know to select which one: Samsung Omnia 7 or HTC Mozart?
I've heard that some HTC devices are made in china and you can't install new (coocked) roms on it easily.
Software support is very important for me and I use to study on phone so a proper screen for reading is mportant.
Does every app run on mozart runs on omnia 7 too?
And something else: HTC mozart is cheaper than Omnia 7! It seems weird for me because mozart camera is 8MP.
In terms of cost the parts used to build the phone makes the price. Even if the mozart had a 8mp and the omnia had a 5 the 5 may be better because of the quality.
no more answer?

Nokia Lumia 800 / 900 vs. Windows Phone 8

Hey there,
I plan to buy a Nokia Windows Phone (Lumia 800 or 900) in early 2012. Is there any information what will happen when Microsoft releases Windows Phone 8? Will Nokia upgrade the "old" Lumia Phones?
There is no information yet about current devices' compatibility, but it does not make sense to leave them out. It should support Apollo.
Windows Phone "8" is just the update version. 8 = Apollo. Just like 7.5 is Mango and so forth. Its still Windows Phone and all Windows Phones should support every update.
I guess it will be available via Zune as Mango.
> Will Nokia upgrade the "old" Lumia Phones?
1)
Nokia has no role to play in regards to basic OS updates. This is very different from Android. Microsoft is the only company with the power to decide which devices get which updates. So far, every device has received every OS update. Carriers have the power to delay the distribution of OS updates to devices on their network, but even they can't delay an update indefinitely.
2)
As others have mentioned, we don't have an official statement from Microsoft on this topic. To me, this indicates that WP7 generation hardware will not be getting WP8. I suspect Microsoft would have said so by now if the opposite were true.

That's if Microsoft have even decided yet! I imagine they're keeping quiet - remember the HTC HD2?

Hello I have a Nokia Lumia 620, and tried to install a game called Lets Golf 2 version 1.3.0.0 by the method developer what happens is that when you finished installing and everything, I'll play the game and simply service begins is black screen and comes back, I've tried everything and I can not solve the problem, does anyone know help me with this problem is the same and I realized that the site does not have a straight section for Lumia 620, 720 and 520, could create it has many Brazilians who have these devices and do not stir it has sites with accurate information ....
There is one more thing already has news of some jailbreak for Windows Phone 8, especially the line of Nokia Lumia?
Thank you for your attention
i personally have installed it and everything works right don't know the version though. As for jail-breaking the phone its not called jail-breaking that's for apple. Its simply called unlocking and no one has been able to yet. when there is a way the development part of the forum on the windows 8 would light up with roms and explanations on how to unlock the Nokia phones. Im waiting on it too and as with many others.

Hi all...
My aunt will give me her new Lumia 710.
I never used WinPhone before so, Windows Phone users and Lumia 710 users please tell me good thing and bad things about WindowsPhone OS and Lumia 710 device. There any Android port project to Lumia 710?
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0...
android port not possible, but dont belive to people, Lumia is good if you know how to use it (people generic hate name Microsoft)... if you lucky and Lumia have unlocked bootloader, this is good thing and you can flash custom unlocked ROM
