[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hav0c:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

I was looking for a CWM package that you can flash on any ROM. Do you (or anyone) know what files are used for this animation?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hav0c:
Which version do you mean?

Just flashed 5.6 and 5.8 and they don't have the animation.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
5.8 definitely has it. Just make sure you go into display settings, untick screen on and off animations then enable again. Should work after that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
You have to turn it off and on again from display settings in order to get it working. It's mentioned there in the first posts somewhere.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hav0c:
It does. Thanks.

Would still prefer a CWM zip though ;)

If anyone out there manages to drop, break, crack or otherwise completely screw up their tablet, please get in touch with me. I don't want one that's "bricked" by software, I want a physically DEAD unit.

I would like to do a complete teardown of the hardware, and at this point can't afford to just buy another table to tear apart. (And who would want to do that to a perfectly good, running unit?) Isuppli has a teardown for the Galaxy Tab, but I don't think it's remotely close to our hardware since it's based on Snapdragon and not Tegra.

I want one that is beyond repair for the greater good of accessories. We are making a lot of speculations about what the hardware can and can't do. I have a feeling that there are ways to accomplish some of the things we would like to see.

That's not exactly a "teardown" writeup. More of a "I took the back off and this is what I saw"

highlights that are missing.....

There is no trace routing.

There is no detail on the ancillary chips on the board.

There is no BOM, let alone any part numbers (other than the LCD)

The OP says "there's nothing interesting on the backside of the board" - Yeah, except there's at least 8 chunks of silicon on there, not including the 3 pin linear regulator.

There is space on the backside of the board for more memory, but the OP didn't even put the part numbers of the memory from the front side.

The only technical detail in that thread is what the LCD panel # is.

Sorry, I'm not trying to flame the person who did the original post, but teardowns need to be detailed and accurate or they aren't worth doing.

here's a good example of the documentation of a decent teardown

I would love to see a teardown of the gTablet. I might also be interested in said broken tablet once the teardown is finished.
[G Tablet Accessories] usofrob:
I broke my tablet this weekend trying to put a heat sink on the processor. Now it won't turn on. I haven't given up on it yet, I just haven't had time to debug it further. If I can't get it working again, i was hoping to get together with someone who dropped it and broke their screen. Otherwise the large battery could always be useful for other projects.

But, it also means I have taken mine apart and will do so again. I can take some high res (18MP) pictures of everything if you want. I took some while I was doing the heat sink, but I was only concerned about keeping that in focus.

After updating my phone to twyeen's 2.7.2 via MAGLDR everytime I have music playing and switch from a vertical to horizontal screen the music stops. The same glitch occurs when I plug in my headphones. If I'm listening through my headphones and lock the screen the music player starts to spazz out and play random songs for 4 secs and switches.

Is anyone else getting a bit fed up (to put it politely) with windows phone 7?

I really love the OS, but this whole fiasco with the 2 updates is kinda putting me off! Not sure why i cant update like has been documented elsewhere on the forum.

I can't unlock it, i cant get the update, its starting to annoy me a lot. All i want is the simple copy and paste function of the phone, nothing special! I do not know why Microsoft did not just add these features before they even released the OS!?!?

Try this, you may like it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
if you're having problems unlocking your device, you should really hit the chevron thread. But for the most part, any issues with the unlock process on my end have been fixed.

As far as updating, you should check a few areas that have a nice update step for everyone and it works for anyone whose tried so far.

Then there is the option of actually waiting for your specific device to update via carrier.

It gets tiring to see the I'm tired of windows phone because it hasn't updated even though you like the experience...it's the first update...the very first one at that. Take a look at android updating, or even the god awful windows mobile updating
[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Updater

Try this. It's brand new, but, given who it came from it should work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
First update errors were caused by Samsung not MS.

Second update is being held up by the carriers.

I have an unlocked/unbranded samsung omnia 7 and haven't gotten the update, but I don't care because it is only a minor update and I know it is coming. Be patient bro.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I can sort of understand the whole update irritation around here. Honestly a lot of users truly do care about a massive wave of updates... I'm not one of those fortunately... But with that being said, are people really this ignorant? I could argue that a million Android or iPhone features are basic and should have been coded before the release of the OS... Nothing is EVER feature complete. People have different views, different ideas, and therefore different features take precedent over others... You can't expect the OS to be released with every feature you consider 'simple' or 'basic' because nothing would ever get released in this world...
[Windows Phone 7 General] influenceuk:
I have to disagree with you on this. Both Android and iOS got grief regarding simple features. MS should have learnt from their mistakes, as WP7 was release years after these 2.

Any way i am now running Mango, and i have to say this is a Massive leap forward for the OS. If i had not have invested so much into iOS i would move over and just use WP7!

As for my previous post, i was venting my frustration. Which i think i am allowed to do and have an opinion. Granted the update only brought copy and paste and a few other minor features but these are massive features. Especially when using the device as a business device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
You're wrong and being disingenuous.

The OS (even Mango) is missing basic functionality that is delivered by any decent feature phone, and even some dumbphones. This same functionality can be had on any cheap Blackbery or Android handset.

Also, the updates are too slow. Microsoft should use a faster feature update policy especially since the OS is young. Once they patch the basic functionality holes, then they can try (but fail) at using their Windows Service Pack-type update iterations.

The OS has a high satisfaction rate because most of the people who are using it are fervent Microsoft supporters (most, not all) and this is quite evident form reading various blogs and especially various forums.

Most consumers don't even need a rep to tell them something else is better.

All they need to do is play with the phone and they will easily see that the feature parity between WP7 and even a feature phone is a bit startling and they will probably opt for a cheap Android phone or iPhone 3GS instead.

It's simpy how things are right now.

Hopefully they speed it up after Mango and focus on the BASICs, cause that is what's causing people to look at other platforms right now.

My mom wanted to get my niece a Focus (cause she liked my HD7) and she didn't want it cause she can't MMS decently on it (she texts/MMSes a lot) and there is no IM client. She got an Inspire 4G instead... However, this same person had no problems accepting my HD2 as a gift over the new phone, but I didn't give it cause my mom didn't want to pay more by using 2 different carriers and no family plan.

Yes, it made me a bit sadfaced (especially given how the overall aesthetics of WP7 is superior to Android, and females tend to weight that a bit higher than men TBQH), but you cannot even begin to argue with such a decision seeing as how even Mango will fail to begin to address some of these functionality gaps. She was migrating over from a Feature Phone, btw.

It was the perfect case of "I don't care how it looks, I care what it can do." as far as I'm concerned.

But of course I'm sure you will think this was only an outlier situation :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
may I ask what these basic features are that mango is supposedly missing? because I have the beta and I feel that all loose ends are tied now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
Here's my 2 cents. I have owned a Hero, Epic and now the Evo. I have spent countless hours trying out the best combinations for ROMs and Kernels, and I am pretty fed up with it.

Just last night, I spent 3 HOURS manually updating my girlfriends Epic to EC05 (2.2), simply because the POS wouldn't download and install. And at least Microsoft is including new features, not new apps that take up enough space as it is.

As far as I'm concerned, WP7 is a great OS, and I am sooooooo beyond dealing with this development crap it makes me irritated every time I do it.

With all that being said, I plan on switching to WP7 as soon as Mango hits Sprint with some new phones. You guys that own the WP7 phones are lucky. It is not worth the time or hassel to mess with Android, you will run into problems and I GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET P****D.

Hope I helped. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's the main reason I won't root my HTC Inspire 4G and customize it. I've been there with my HD2 and know where it leads. My Inspire currently is like a pristine, un-trampled, wilderness in all of its glory. It works perfectly and smoothly and causes me no troubles. The moment I were to root it, it would cease being the pristine glory it is because it would continually get altered and messed with instead of just using it for what it is.

I've been there with my HD2 and know how customizing works. This is one of the main reasons behind the locked nature of the iPhone. Apple would rather have people using the iPhone for what it is than continually altering it and potentially getting no satisfaction from it. MS apparently understands this as well. WP7 is just as locked as iOS and they really need to stick to their guns. There are those who want the choice to customize and that's fine. Android provides all they want. But some of them want every system to be made for them and only their way. They seem to not be able to cope with any system not being setup to their standards, regardless of how selfish they are being. They want it all and don't mind others not having any.

Also, I missed the Mango release date. I don't pay for smartphone updates but if you can tell me what version of Zune to use to update my HD7 I'll be happy.

Last time I checked most people were using NoDo, and that's what people going into store experience when they play with the phones...

This is like telling a Mac user to buy a PC because I have Windows 8 Beta and it's awesome.

[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
People send videos through e-mail and MMS all the time...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Either you have a Feature Phone from the late 90s, or you're lying through your teeth.

Even dumb phones can MMS video these days if they have a camera (not all, but some - they're only dumbphones). Practically every feature phone with a camera can MMS videos.

To your first part of the post (not quoted): Free on Contract blackberries and cheap iPhone 3GSes can do all this, and more. That's not even comparing current WP7 OS/Devices to Android and iOS devices that were released in the same timeframe.

I'm not going to get baited into another heated forum battle, so... last response to you :-)

If your only retort is "who does <something," then you've already defeated your own argument. A majority of cell phone users are on Feature and Dumb Phones. Millions and millions of people utilize the video MMS feature on those phones. And feature phones have email clients as well (some having somewhat decent HTML support, even).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrNetrix:
No, I was just unaware that mine was able to since I never even had the remote need to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
keep in mind that mango is still in BETA!!! video through MMS is impractical I've gotten a few on my tp2 and the quality was ****ty at best. most people share through Facebook now and have smartphones that can do that ,as well as emailing them. so any other "features"?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
And how is your grandmother who has a feature phone going to view that facebook video from her phone when she's at the flea market lookign for deals? Everyone wants their kids on Facebook. Yea. Lol... More people share on YouTube than Facebook. You can make YouTube Videos Privates. But more cell phone users are on Feature Phones and if you want to share short video clips with people on dumb or feature phones you cannot depend on either Facebook or YouTube. That is the issue. The issue is not what you can do on your phone, or wha tyou prefer. The issue is the OS being designed in a way that limits communications with people who have not yet migrated to smartphone platforms... Do you understand it NOW? :P

Again, if your only retort is "I found the quality lacking," then you've defeated your own argument.

Tethering?

Mobile Hotspot?

What about better Exchange Policy support so Exchange Servers stop declining lots of WP7 devices from connecting to networks that iPhones and Symbian devices have no issues connecting to?

File System Support so we can use a File Manager and manage files on the phone? And more easily/faster bulk copy media of dispirate/varied types to the device?

Outlook Synching from Zune Client, and Documents? For those of us who do not have SharePoint/Exchange but don't want to put confidential contact information/documents in the cloud? For those who don't know... Windows Live (Hotmail - which shares the same base login for Live) has a bad history when it comes to Account hacking/hijacking.

A notification tray so that you can see what you got while you were asleep or your phone was silenced/put away (I'm talking beyond the Social notifications pane, which only covers stuff you can already see in the Facebook/Twitter app, etc.) without hopping into several applications? (swipe left from Home, App List. Swipe Right, Notification Cache).

Does the Video Camera settings save in Mango, at least?

Only loosely related, but it would be nice if they allowed us to suscribe more than one RSS feed in Windows Live...

DLNA support at the platform level, not just from specific phone models/OEMs? Every decent Android device has this, and the iPhone has AirPlay.

Turn by Turn is still pretty bad in Mango, and I think I've already mentioned it but I still can't get over the insane feature drop-off from WM to WP7 IRT Bing Maps... It's still borderline unbelievable to me...

Universal Search?

Has Codec support been expanded? If you email someone a WMV and their phone doesn't support that CODEC, well, too bad?

I can continue :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
You can't possibly be serious. Using the capabilities of a beta, that is not even close to feature complete, as proof that the finished release of the update won't include MMS video? That just boggles the mind.

How so? I thought this thread was about WP7 users being "fed up" with the OS. Given that, it seems more to me like telling people who own a PC, but aren't very happy with Win7, to have patience because a new version of the OS is coming. That may or may not be good advice, but it is a more correct analogy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dj21o:
I agree with you 110%. Android is open source and all about customizations, if you choose to do so. I know the GSII is coming to Sprint in August, but I'm not sure if I can hold back with all the power that device has. It runs quite well and the most I would do is underclock the phone to conserve my battery. I have fully customized my Evo, but I cannot sync my emails, my data has to be turned off, and I need a task killer all the time or my battery dies really quick.

With WP7, you don't need to worry about those features, and you get free applications *cough*. I mean, I hate having to go through all of the troubles to get these things to work properly, but I love the variety that I have.

WP7 runs sooo smooth and there is over 500 features being applied in Mango, and I really want simplicity and that beautiful UI.

What do you think is more important?

2. There is a thread on adding memory -- but it involves heavy-duty soldering, etc.

A little searching should turn up the threads.

IPS is a definite no-go - there's no screen that will fit the device, at least to our knowledge. I had considered a screen replacement for some time, but at this point I don't think it's feasible. Even if a screen was found, there's no guarantee that it will be significantly better (ie. look at the NI Adam LCD as an example).

Not necessarily. Some of the folks using cousin versions of the G-Tablet have
