Windows Phone Complaints
1) Live tile counter doesn't work most of the time for HeyTell, Facebook, GChat
2) Skype doesn't work in background mode. Android does. Makes app useless.
3) Messaging doesn't retain unsent text when switching to other app, home screen. Android does.
4) Can't view facebook like I can on my computer. Android does.
5) Reversing white background/black text for "night mode" like Nokia Maps does would be very nice in dark lighting, movie theather, etc.
6) Requires Zune to copy files off, unless emailed. Android solution is better, acts like a hard drive on USB
7) Auto-copy feature of pics to SkyDrive copies a small version of the picture, not the original size
8) Games that are for free on Android/iTunes cost money! Like Angry Birds.
9) Live Toggle Tiles like Connection Tiles don't update their wording when toggling
10) Market may have 10s of thousands of apps but a high number of them are just "hot girl" apps, missing many apps still!
11) Swype option is not available. Slydr option is a joke!
12) Volume hard buttons and Camera button don't always work when screen is off
13) Built-In "Listen for Music" option does not save what I find for music. Might as well just keep using Shazam/Soundhound
14) Scan barcode options should work like Google Goggles too.
15) Nokia Maps doesn't work in offline mode. Map doesn't load.
1. Live tile counters for some apps are broken. Facebook I know is messed up not sure about Gchat or Heytell. Have you tried any other 3rd party messaging applications maybe it works better for others. I blame it on the app rather than the OS
2. Skype is still in beta its going gold in April. Hopefully it adds background support but if you need video chat Tango works great
3. Yes it does. Do you mean if I type the word "Hey" exit the app and go back its not there? If you hold the back button you should be able to see your unset text via cards. I do this all the time
4. You can view ppl that like your status via notification hub that's where I get all my FB notifications from. You can also add a separate inbox for all FB notifications if you need notifications ASAP
5.
6. So what atleast Zune allows you to view and edit your tags etc and sync them over I don't see why this is a big deal Zune is fun to use
7. I haven't tried this so if I automatically snap a photo and upload to Skydrive it uploads the lower resolution image. hmm
8. Free games you pay for with battery life 1$ for countless hours of fun why not plus your supporting developers. Atleast you can try games before you buy them
9. Application problem not OS
10. Of course there's apps missing but there are alternatives what apps are you specifically looking for?
11. Tried Swype if you like 1 handed typing that's cool but the keyboard on a WP is on point I don't even have to look at my keyboard to compose a text it gets a lot better over time
12. No the screen needs to be on. That way if something accidently presses the button you screen doesn't react saves battery life
13. Never tried
14. Never tried Google scan
15. Offline mode works I use it all the time. I am not sure how yours is configured but I verified this functionality.
