Windows 8 - Epic 4G General

Anyone install the consumer preview yet? Your opinions and did your phones drivers work with it? IMO its disgusting and worse than vista I am not looking forward to its release and me having to install it on all my clients pc's.

There's forum for it already... at least the devz preview I'm sure you can ask around there.

I hate the look of it and just how scattered everything feels. Nothing is in a logical place anymore. To get to the control panel is tough at first to figure out and is trying to shutdown.

I asked here for the reason which both of you OBVIOUSLY MISSED in my op which makes it relevant here. Which is did our DRIVERS INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY ON windows 8. So just let people that are actually helpful respond instead of your negativity. Also I don't ever look beyond this forum as I am not interested in anything else beyond this phone. So like I said this has full rights here.

Okay and again its not negative at all its positive thinking, For the drivers to work i would assume most likely, and which Windows 8 do you have theres 2 versions one looks like crap the other looks like this windows 8 tablet style is for phones and tablet windows 8 right screenie is for desktops the good version haha

It'd be better not to derail this thread with arguments before it gets started, yes?

Since we like to be "right" why are all these questions in the general forum.
Also you took my post completely wrong I simply gave a suggestion... you blew it way out of proportion. Please I would love you to ask a moderator to check and see if there is two accounts using my IP.... if you wanted to have a truly productive thread you would have ignored my post and marked it as irrelevant... rather than what this has become.
I do rather appologize from taking away any value from this thread.

At least things are being posted, so as users we can answer first complain later. Everyone has a complaint about the wrong section, but the day nothing's being posted people will have a complaint just the same.
I've yet to fiddle with the Win8 consumer preview myself but my laptop is suffering hard drive failure lol so I can't do too much but wait, however today's my birthday so I may go get a new laptop in an ideal world.

100% wrong-----Goron seems to be a great guy, I have seen him bending over backwards to help anyone that asks a question or has serious issues with their phone, even offering to help by remote access......Just sayin'
Back on topic though, is Windows 8 going to be an improvement over Windows 7? I never cared for 7, I am still using XP on most of my boxes & Vista on one laptop.

and, at y2whisper, the other thread was closed, because it was made perfectly clear that most people would like it turned off. the tapatalk notification is annoying as sin
Thats fine that they would, I opt to keep it on, only out of gratitude for the program and that about 10% of my posts are done via the program. should that percentage increase or simply just over time (unless there is some kind of upgrade) I will shut it off.
Mind you my motivation with it is that its xda specific and its how i found out about the application in the first place.

I agree it's annoying and all, but I believe that's how a lot of people know about the program. If everybody turns it off, I bet there's gonna be a bunch of thread asking what this program is. lol

You can always block people who don't disable the signature.
Admin is working with the developer to change the spam that the application places in the body of the post which is what annoys most people. They did not specify what would be done but apparently relief is on the way.
need to make it so you can assign a sig to it your self, or not at all.

But, if you reply with it, doesn't it just use the sig you already have specified in the forum?
They didnt say what they were going to do. What bothers most people is that it is amended into the body of the post and as they surf the forum they end up reading it over and over and over.... It sounded like a line break such as before the signatures to move it out of the body of the post would be a front runner. We'll see.

Hey, yeah WP7, um, in some ways its a great phone, like virtually no lag, easy UI and the quality is just good. But, in saying that, android can just do alot more, it has everything and more that you can ask for. WP7 has great protential, but compaired to other smartphones, its kinda a let down. Then again, i did use a motorola defy in one of the stores, and it was laggy as all hell, so i guess everything has its ups and downs. As for the name, i misspelled a word and then i kinda thought of it from there

[REQUEST] WP7 Port

I feel like this should be posted under development, but since I just created a new account, I am unable to post it under that particular subject. So, if one of you kind moderators are reading this, please don't delete this.
I just simply wanted to ask if there was a possibility of porting a Windows Phone 7 rom to the HTC Evo 4g. If so, then could somebody do it for me? I'm a n00b at pretty much everything except for rooting and flashing roms to phones, so I need a little help from the people that know how to do these things.
yeah give me a few minutes, I'll whip up a WP7 rom for you.
I'm pretty sure you'd be sued off the face.of the earth by msoft. Wp7 is closed source, android is open.

The only phone that has been successfully ported from WM6.1 to Android and WP7 is the HTC HD2, and that is GSM so it won't work with Sprint.

Not stupid for asking....just that the question has already been asked. Therefore you either didn't search first, or if you did, you didn't like the reasons behind why it hasn't happened yet so you optimistically created a new thread thinking that a different response would occur.

Will the Transformer support future versions of Windows 8?

After some Google'ing im unsure whether we will see future versions of Microsoft's Windows 8 Operating system on tablet devices such as the Transformer, or any Nvidia TegraII tablets? What do you guys think? I would love to see Windows 8 on my Transformer?

Really? You couldn't search and add to the several existing windows 8 threads already in existance
What is up with you peoole the tine it takes to tell someone to search better yiu could have answered their question. Some people just want a quick answer without having to search all over thats the difference between an advanced user and a novice.

Guy above (and the one above him too) is right there are at least 20 billion other threads about this already.
Basic facts are that Nvidia demoed windows 8 running on a tegra 2 tablet on 1ghz and one gig of ram so it is possible main problem is the legality of porting a non opensource system and rewriting bootloaders

Quick answer? It took him two hours to get that answer. Much faster to just browse the first couple pages of threads IMO. But i also don't agree with being rude so I usually just ignore threads like this.

searching before posting is a rule, not a suggestion. It is irritating for the many of us who peruse these forums even on a weekly basis having to see multiple threads covering the same subjects, and quite a few occassions they are on the first page AND in multiple subforums. I see many say "don't feed the trolls", I say "don't feed the newbs".
Well if you rather argue then discuss that fine. I can be sure I searched the forums before I posted this topic. The matter is constantly changing with new information being leaked all the time. I read similar topics and basically couldn't find the answer i was looking for. Thanks guys ! Well thanks to the one guy who posted an actual reply. =)
