Never used Zeam but most launchers have a "Backup/Restore Settings" or something to do this.

I use Launcher Pro and I always use this feature.

I installed the drivers yesterday by just plugging my phone in via usb and my pc was recognising my phone as the arc. Today I was having trouble with wireless sync so I uninstalled the drivers, rebooted etc but now it wont install them, just keeps failing.

Anyone know how to solve this?
[Xperia Arc General] kyods:
Try rebooting the phone while keeping it connected to the PC via USB. The same thing happened to me today, reboot miraculously cured it. You might need to remove the Arc from your Device Manager first.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] glingling38:
Hello,

I have moved my HD2 to Android using the NAND Rom. Its very good and everything is working well, but I have an issue with the HTC Sync.

The HD2 is connecting well to my PC (XP, SP2). USB is well detected and I can go through the SD card when I am in the USB storage mode without problem.

But when I want to use the HTC SYNC software (3.0.5511), and after having configured the USB connection to "HTC Sync", the HTC SW does not detect the device and the HD2 does not detect the HTC Sync SW on the PC.

(I have tried both starting right away with the HTC Sync mode and switching from Mass Storage to HTC Sync mode).

Is there any solution to that ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
I could be completely wrong but I have read that HTC Sync does not work with our devices because it is a ported software and not original to the phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Which ROM have you installed,because HTC SYNC will only work with a "SENSE" ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XthelordinatorX:
yea that's what i thought.. if you don't have htc sense then there will be no HTC SYNC
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] glingling38:
Thanks for your feedback.

I guess it's supposed to be a "Stock Desire" ROM developped by DFT

I used HSPL2.08 / MAGLDR 1.13 to perform that.

Which ROM to use then, as I need HTC Sync to work, or is there any other means to Sync contact and agenda with the "Stock Desire" ROM ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Right HTC Sync only works with Sense roms, if you want to use it with non-sense roms then you can use: My Phone Explorer, free on the market, does the same thing and a bit more.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] glingling38:
OK, Thanks to All, I'll try this one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gargamel4:
I have similar problem. HD2 worked fine but after two months of haveing some zip Android build, and wanted to change it and to try WP7. I have 2.08 HSPL, 2.15.50 radio, MAGLDR 1.13 and CWR 3.0.0.5. In SPL mode it won't change from "serial" to "USB" (as it should) and in MAGLDR can't switch to USB Flasher mod, so I can't change current CWR. Any idea?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Have you got ActiveSync installed,because it contains the drivers to connect the PC and HD2.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] satya164:
Hi. I've a strange problem. When I install any app to SD Card, after reboot, the app disappears from launcher. But it is still there in the list of installed apps. If I move it to phone, then it reappears.

I am using the native apps2sd, not the ext2 partition one. It is strange because it was working previously without any issue. I have experienced this both with the MiniCM RC1 and xCyanogenMini. I am therefore considering to revert back to stock eclair firmware. Because App2SD was the only reason I wanted to upgrade. I don't want to partition my SD Card.

My Kernel Version - 2.6.29 and baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Annoymous Man:
Is it 'native Apps2SD'? SE has never issued an offical Apps2SD, different Apps2SD scripts may vary from each other.

It's a kinda bug I experienced, and crashed my 2 MiniCM ROMs, and bricked my phones.

I had to make use of SEUS to flash these phones back into 2.1 stock ROMs, and started flashing other ROMs later on.

Luckily, I backed those applications with Slax (a live CD) before those failed experiments. Reformated those Ext3 partitions in WinXP to bypass adding root permission to it, ran again the Apps2SD scripts, put apps back into /system/sd/app directory (or /sd-ext/app directory in MiniCM ROMs)... and the nightmare was over.

You may try to see if it works for you then.

You may also shift into another launcher to see if it solves your problem, and may also save your time.

And don't forget to tell us your final finding on this problem ;-)

The benefit is that on CyanogenMod 7 for Heroc, the hardware rendering is incomplete/broken and behaves differently. With hardware rendering, angry birds slows down significantly, while with software rendering, it just gets choppier but maintains speed.

So the subject says it all. I'm new to WP7 (not new to tech by any means)... Maybe I missed something obvious but I can't find it.

I had two notifications. But- my phone told me of neither of them by itself. I had to open the app to see them.

We're talking they were a good 45 minutes old, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
The FB app does not support live tiles and push notifications and neither does the people hub, so yeah u need to open the FB app to check out updates.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
I note on the Facebook for Windows Phone Facebook page, they've promised a new version with "features that [we've] been asking for".

It seems it has gotten delayed, probably owing to the recent messages bug, but maybe - just maybe - this may support notifications through the OS or a live tile?

The notifications issue, along with support for FB chat, seems to be the biggest request on there, so we might be in luck.

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
yeah the App is definitely gonna support chat, toast notifications and live tiles for sure. Its just a matter of when.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:

[Windows Phone 7 General] PieOfJustice:

[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Your point being?

Live tiles, or rather "at a glance" was the big selling point for WP7. Sure, you get "at a glance" information galore for the people pinned to start but not being notified about messages on FB is weak - should definitely have been in the app from day one. Not to mention they still need to sort out the scrolling issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
need I remind you that fb push notifications didn't come till last august on android? Let's be real, android's FB before last summer was a piece of crap compared to the apple platform..and even then there were some bugs till fall of last year...and android's been around since 08...and it still doesn't go without bugs...with toasting or push notifications

I mean i admit the facebook xap is paltry and has a lot of issues in coding which should be corrected but I say give it time
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I can't believe that the Microsoft-coded stuff (even Facebook app) wouldn't have Live Tiles or push support. That one surprises me more than anything on WP.

However- I never recall my iPhone not supporting Push and doing it well.

Android was certainly sketchy, even after running 2.3.

Right now my best "solution" seems to be as suggested and setting up email notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
My point is that this is not a mature OS and I think (hope lol) MS will add that feature in the future. There's a lot of things that could have been added from day one, but MS wanted to focus on the most important features and making sure they work perfectly before implementing them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Not really suprising. They didn't even launch with Copy and Paste...

Android supports PUSH well. All of Google's services are pushed, and let's get real... Google didn't add C2DM (their PUSH service) until Android 2.2.

Facebook Chat is pushed on Android, and it's as fast as ever. I know because my Vibrant is going off everytime I'm having a Facebook Chat conversation in Widnows Live Messenger/Facebook.com . I also get all of my Facebook Notifications (Posts/Replies/Messages) really fast.

Flory on WP7 has fast Push/Toast/Live Tile notifications, but the application takes so long to load and/or resume that it's virtually useless. Since the first day I've installed it, I've never gotten it to load my contact list for GTalk or Facebook again... So I uninstalled...

I have my Facebook Background Sync interval (Both in the App, and in TouchWiz/SocialHub) set to 12 hours so I know it's not polling, BTW...

The biggest issue I have is that it's clunky, waste data and battery life (downloading emails uses way more battery power than getting a Push Notification) and is simply impractical for people with busy Social Networks. Do you REALLY want 30+ Facebook emails a day? 1 Hour or more less battery life (these smartphones are already working overtime trying to provide decent battery life)? People with low data plans won't want to do that, either...

Also, on other platforms you get to set different Notification Ringtones for Different Applications, which let you know whether or not you need to even bother looking at the phone when something comes in.

Microsoft needs to implement this.

For me, personally, the Push Notifications isn't that big of an issue (Toast), but a Live Ticker on People Tile would be good.

The biggest issue is that People Hub is a gimmick. It's nothing but a glorified RSS feed for social networks. It doesn't support Facebook Messaging or any of that, only posting and replying... That's why if you are a Facebook user you still need the Facebook application installed on your phone. People Hub barely passes for an alternative, if it does at all... It is too functionally thin to be truly useful and the fact that it doesn't update its information in the background makes it not really worth using over the Facebook application which does much more and has a better user experience.

WP7 has really good voice recognition (at least for English) and Bing is good now, so there's hardly a need to open the People Hub when you can just "Call PersonX Mobile/Work/etc." and the phone gets it done faster than you could if you went through the contact list (if it is of factorable length/size). Hell, the other day I just said "Call Pizza Hut" and it got the city right and everything. One less number in my contact list :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Google didn't implement C2DM on Android until FroYo.

Facebook Getting Push on Android in August means they were very fast in implementing it after Google added C2DM, which destroys your argument/excuse/justification.

When you cut through the spin, Facebook was fast as hell at getting Push Notifications to Android, and Launched Facebook chat in that client as well.

I simply don't think they wanted to implement their own Push Solution, with 500+ million users... It't just too much. Better to use a native solution and and allow Android/iOS/WP7/BB users get their stuff pushed through Google/Apple/MS/RIM instead...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Facebook integration was, according to MS, a very important feature. Since the FB app is a MS commissioned app you would expect them to have taken full advantage of their, so called, killer features.

My point here isn't so much that it's a missing feature but rather that it's a missing feature which has all the necessary building blocks available for use - and they decided not to utilize them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
Maybe I'm wrong but I swear that WeatherBug Live Tile is updating itself. I'm going to consciously not open it and see if it updates again this morning. If this is true: why can't other apps do this?

As far as the people hub, I don't use it much. Alot of it is as I've already said... None of the apps cache data. That sucks. These apps should be able to poll and cache in the background, but they don't. The People Hub is one such app. I might as well use the Facebook app.

I can see the People Hub having some use but as you said, it seems more like a replacement to Facebook... And unless it has the full functionality of the Facebook app, why use it?

I also agree with your statements on Flory. It never loads my contact list. Maybe I'm not patient enough- but it doesn't even matter... If it takes more than 15 seconds to load it, it's useless.

I must say one thing I miss from Custom ROMs... Headphone amp. I listen to a podcast that, when I'm driving 75mph- you can't freaking hear it with the volume on the radio and phone all the way up. On a Custom ROM I had a headphone amp that I was able to crank it up and hear it with plenty of extra volume. I sorely miss this.

A question... How do I voice dial/search? I realize if I go into the search- I can hit the mic button and do it from there. However from the main screen, holding search does nothing. ????????????

Also... On large contact lists, how do I scroll to say, the M's? I cannot figure this out at all. On Android/iPhone you have a alphabet on the right and you slide your finger down it to the letter you want.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I can confirm, the WeatherBug Live Tile updates itself.

Last I checked it was 42 degrees on it. I did not ever open the app. I just checked, and now it's 53 degrees.

So- it appears that the Live Tiles CAN update themselves. And push notifications DO work... My question is, why the hell can WeatherBug do this and not Facebook, why can't they add a Facebook Chat that utilizes this????
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
lots of apps do. If they don't they weren't programmed to or it is disabled in the app settings.

People hub is useful if you want to see/reply to the "most recent" posts. It's much faster if that's all you want to do. Or posting to someone's wall is a lot faster to find the contact in people hub and post from there.

hold down the windows button. you can also open apps this way

just tap one of the blue letters and you can jump to any letter. faster than scrolling on android/iphone

facebook app wasn't programmed to do that yet. apps don't automatically have live tiles/notifications. I'm sure it will be added in the future though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
Thanks for the info!

It should embarrass Microsoft if third parties are implementing notifications faster than they are with Facebook :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] suhaimidee:
Just what were they thinking when they launched the WP7 in what i may say unruly behaviour? trying to impress other phone makers and dupe us into getting the smartphones that was half featured and mostly like "in future", "in future" and more "in future"? we were made to "beg" and find other alternatives to get the updates to our phones..ok im cooled now :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
People Hub is no faster than the Facebook app. That's part of the issue. It does not update in the background, so if you want a quick look at your status you have to let it load everything everytime you enter the Hub. If you're gonna do that, you're better off just using the Full Facebook app which lets you check everything (Messages, etc.) that People Hub does not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
It is slightly faster. Facebook app takes longer to load, and you have to swipe right to get to "top news". People hub opens almost instantly and will bring you to where you were at last, so if you were at "what's new" when you go back into it you'll be right there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I'm actually nodding along with both of you on this point.

Can we agree to disagree... And agree that either one or the other should be done better so there's not a need for both?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
But People Hub does not support Facebook Mail/Messages and a ton of other functionality like Places (Check-In) etc. Viewing comments in People Hub is also clunky as hell.

The Facebook app is more useful.

Just open it and "Home" out of it. Reloading it from the background is much faster than opening it the first time and since WP7 doesn't multi-task, it does not have an impact on your data use or battery.

The People Hub is good for what amounts to less than the bare essentials, IMO. That's all.

I expect the Twitter integration to be just as bare unless they make some huge changes to People Hub between now and Mango, which I don't expect them to do...

Also note I said the Facebook app lets you check everything. The People Hub does not. Given the functionality gap, it's just not worth it to depend on People Hub...
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
you need to learn how to read bro. This is what I said

If all you want to do is check or comment on most recent posts and post something to someone's wall, people hub is better. Even if you reload it from the background, it's still not as fast as the people hub.

I use both. Only use the facebook app when I want to do more than see "what's new"
[Windows Phone 7 General] weepatc:
Post removed!
[Windows Phone 7 General] weepatc:
Go into contacts section of people hub > tap on any highlighted letter of the alphabet which sits above the names beginning with that letter. This then brings all the letters of the alphabet up in a grid. Tap on the letter you require & all contacts beginning with that letter appear.......Simples!!! Alsoworks this way for friends in FB app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skyh123:
I know that BB had awesome notifications for FB and the only way I ever gotpush notification with Android was through a third party app. But given how much integration WP7 has with Facebook it seems that this should already be there. I know both BB and the flow app for Android would just pull emails from Facebook and use those to identify the notifications, why cant this same approach be taken with wp7

I recently ordered the 2000mAh slim battery for my HTC Evo Shift by Galilio. I did a little bit of research and people with different phones (Rhodium, Hero, Supersonic) were saying that they noticed a little bit of a difference between their battery life after using this battery(could just be a placebo affect, who knows?). It advertises as 2000mAh but I know it probably won't be the full 2000mAh. I'm assuming that it's probably just a little bit more than 1500mAh. I just fully charged it and I'm going to see how long is lasts me.
