[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
I'm sorry, but you're the one who are wrong. The hardware specified is still very old hardware. But even though it's old hardware it's by no means bad hardware, there are many Androids that have much worse hardware, just like there are Androids with better hardware.

However, hardware isn't all. WP7 is much more fluid than any stock Android device I've ever tried, and even if there are custom ROMs for Android that are much better optimized than the stock ROMs I don't think that it should be necessary to install a new ROM to get a good experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
completely agree, wp7 is hands down the best optimized, smoothest, and cleanest OS. It doesnt need ridiculous hardware to run much better than any other OS. There are no custom roms that can catch wp7 though.

I am finding myself spending much of my spare time messing with my android devices (HTC desire, Archos 70it) flashing roms, modding etc but the only knowledge i have of this is gleened from reading through this excellent forum.

Could anybody recommend a good book to start me off with android programming and development starting with the basics so that perhaps i could actually do something useful here?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Hello All,

I have been searching for a minute now and have had Zero luck. Is there an app that will give me just a clock on the main screen? Like a clock app that actually supports live tiles and will show me the time? Trying to find the time on windows phone 7 has proven to be a pain in the rear unless I wait for the phone to lock itself. Today's date, and a simple clock are really all I am looking for but it seems no one has created an app with this basic functionality...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
The only way to do a clock live tile would be to send updates once a second/minute, which would be kind of ridiculous. If someone is going to do this, it'll need to be Microsoft.

Isn't the time always displayed at the top of the homescreen?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Or once a minute? Is there any other way to make the thing show date and time outside of the lock screen? Still new to this thing, but besides a few drawbacks (no date/time screen, sms messages do not auto retry after failing to send) I like it. Just figured some of my issues would have already been solved at this point in the life cycle.

Edit:

Indeed it is and until you mentioned it I had never noticed it. It's really tiny, but sure enough it's up there. Now I feel silly
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
If you want to see the date, I guess you can just pin your calendar to the home screen for now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirivolution:
They should realy make something like this:

(of course the time doesn't correspond to the time in the top right corner^^)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcgraw:
I don't understand why you'd want this for a couple of reasons:

1. At the home screen, tapping the top of the screen brings up the time

2. The Calendar app shows the date

3. If I ever want to see what time it is, I just unlock my phone and look at the lock screen. It's unnecessary to go into the home screen. If the top time is too small for you, just lock and unlock your device quickly.

I've been into this for several days and as I understand proprietary Samsung bt hardware blocks all possibilities of properly using any bt gamepad out there including the wiimote, which works only with the Cyanrom but its too buggy to even try it..

I dont know how an adapter from microUSB to miniUSB would work, like for example to use it with a generic PS3 controller or something of the sort..

Playing any emulator from the touchscreen actually kills it..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feltwo:
You could try this :

1.Go to "Settings" - > "Applications" - > "Manage applications" -> "Downloaded" - > try to find out "Market" app and open it - > press "Force stop" , "Clear data" , "Clear cache" , "Uninstall updates"

2.Go to "settings" - > "Accounts & Sync" - >press "Add Account" - > click on "Google" - > press "Next" - > press either "Create Account" or "Sign in" (If you have already made your new google account) - > Log with your new account

3.Open Market app , it would automatically install the latest update and I guess it would ask you to log with your google account , then you might be able to log in with your desired one .

If that doesn't work , you could try this :

1. Go to application list - > start an app called "setup" - > On the botton of your screen would appear 7 empty dots , by each pressing of the button "Next" one of the points would become green in color -> Go to the 6th section , which is called "Set up account" -> Press "Other mail accounts " - > Fill in your new google acount -> Then you might be able to log in with it in Android Market

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Just change the view to only show you contacts from one of the three databases. Either Google, phone, or sim.

From contacts hit the leftmost softkey and then select more. Then select display options
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
All of my contacts are joined.

My contacts aren't grouped, I don't think. What is grouping, exactly?

My Contacts only displays my phone contacts. This has no bearing on the following:

1. When I want to send a text, everyone's name appears three times.

2. When I click the call button in a text, it asks me which number I want to call, then lists each number three times.

Something is up.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
That WOULD solve the problem.... except:

1. I do not want to delete my contacts off my SIM. The SIM card carrying your contacts is a great feature.

2. I do not want to delete my contacts off my Phone. The Contacts menu looks a lot sleeker without the icons to the bottom right of each entry, and the pictures I feel load faster when they are stored on the phone.

3. I do not want to delete my contacts off my Google account. It stores my contact pictures as well as makes it easy when I flash over to a new ROM.

I will not delete these entries. They are all important. I want a real solution, and I am pretty sure one doesn't exist.

Edit: There isn't a "plus" sign, but each contact has three separate entries.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
it was a little hard to understand at first but this is your poblem

#1 where do you want all your contacts saved to? PICK

ONE

(phone/sim/google)

open contacts> menu button > more > settings > save contacts to...

(google is better than sim or phone IMO auto backup and restore to net) but pick ONE. (uno, une, 1)

#2

open contacts> menu button > more > display options > choose contacts to display

only check the thing you picked above. UNCHECK the others

There is the problem. And yes, I do see the "Remember this choice" option, but that is also not a solution as 1. I do flash my phone often and I would have to remember it every time, and 2. I would have to remember it for all of my contacts, which would be a pain.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
Trusselo's instructions in post #10 are dead on, except in your case, i'll ask that you choose to sync your contacts to a single google account rather than the other 2 options (phone or sim). Unless you often swap your SIM card to a dumb phone, this is your best option anyways.

To ensure we save all your contacts among all your storage locations.. First, adjust 'display options' in Contacts so that ALL your contacts are displayed from all your locations (duplicates are ok).

Next, still in contacts, open up menu, choose 'import/export/', then choose 'export to sd card.'

Now follow Trusselo's instructions in post #10.. Make sure you save contacts to a google account. Also when choosing 'display options', uncheck EVERYTHING, and ONLY check 'my contacts' under the google account you save contacts to.

Go to 'Accounts and sync' in settings and ensure that auto-sync is ON, and that 'sync contacts' is ON for the google account you're saving contacts to.

Now, in contacts, open up menu, choose 'import/export' again, and this time choose 'import from sd card'.

Open up GMail in a web browser, go to Contacts, go to 'my contacts', click on the 'more actions' button, choose 'find & merge duplicates'. Now just give your phone a minute to re-sync all your contacts with google..

This will clean up any duplicate contacts and phone numbers you may have. So you should only see one entry for each contact and number. It will also sync all your contacts regularly to your google account, even for new entries, which imo, is a lot safer than storing them directly on the phone or SIM card.

I've tested this method, and it should work for you if followed exactly. If there's anything that needs to be clarified, let me know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
I want them saved to my SIM card. And I want them saved to my Google Account. But I want them stored on my Phone.

I believe you want me to delete them from my SIM and from my Phone in order for this to work. I simply do not see why I would need to do that. If that is not what you are saying, then what is it? On my Contacts on GMail, there's only one number for each name.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
To be clear, this will NOT delete contacts from you SIM card, nor from your phone. What this does is force ALL your contacts from your SIM AND your phone AND your Google account to be synced(copied) to your google account. Once that is done, all your contacts will appear on your google account and will be immediately copied back to your phone (as a locally saved copy).

Then what we're doing is just "hiding" all the duplicate contacts from your SIM card and 'Phone location' (not deleting them), so that we only see the contacts that were synced with your google account.. so its less confusing than viewing the same contact from 3 different locations.

All your old contacts will remain on your SIM card, only now all your old contacts and newly created ones will appear in contacts and be synced (backed-up) to your google account. This is useful because.. say you lose your phone, you will still have a copy of all your contacts in your google account and can be easily synced with a new phone, if they were stored on the SIM card or the 'Phone location' then they would just be.. gone.. lost forever. They will also sync back to the phone (with pics) if you flash a new ROM.

On another note, should you ever want to get a new phone and simply move your contacts, you can sync your contacts via your google account like I said, OR you could just go menu>import/export>export to sim card.

Make sense?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
But I mean, if you're asking me to change the display option to only display SIM/Phone/Google contacts, it is already set to do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
No, i'm asking you to do the opposite. I'm asking you to store all your contacts to Google, and ONLY display Google contacts, and UNCHECK (hide) SIM and PHONE from 'Display Options' so that you do not see any duplicate names or phone numbers.

This will most likely solve your problem with seeing duplicate entries and is a much smarter way of managing your contacts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
I am already doing that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
Actually, by your own admission, you're not.

"if you're asking me to change the display option to only display SIM/Phone/Google contacts, it is already set to do that."

Right there, you just said that ALL your contact locations are turned ON..which is the cause of you seeing 3 identical phone numbers for each contact. Earlier in the thread it was pointed out you need to ONLY select ONE option; the same location you are storing contacts to.

Let's say you already have all your contacts save to Google, that's great. That means you don't have to go through that entire process i wrote up. All that was meant to do is ensure ALL your contacts from all your locations were saved to google, but if that's already done then there's no need to go through all that.

It really goes back to Post #10.. assuming you have only have no duplicate phone numbers set up in google, then you just need to follow those instructions and you won't see those duplicates anymore.

Sounds like you either didn't follow the directions correctly in post #10 or not at all. The key thing is save your new contacts to google, then change the display options so ONLY, ONLY, JUST ONE, option is checked, and that is the Google account you are saving contacts to. Once this is done, you will not see duplicate entries anymore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
"if you're asking me to change the display option to only display SIM/Phone/Google contacts, it is already set to do that."

I wrote the Sim/Phone/Google part to show the options, not to show that they were all clicked. Also, clearly, if I knew that option existed, I would have tested it. And, if I had three duplicates in my Contacts and knew that option existed, I probably wouldn't complain.

Also, post #5, by me:

"My Contacts only displays my phone contacts. This has no bearing on the following:"

This is not the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
Oh ok, the way you phrased that, it sounded like you had all 3 checked.

So i tried duplicating your problem. I'm guessing your using 'Messaging' from your screen caps? if i have multiple identical entries in contacts, lets say you have 'Joe, 555-555-5555' stored on google, and 'Joe, 555-555-5555' on the Phone, and 'Joe, 555-555-5555' on the SIM, then you WILL see 3 Phone numbers in Messaging (also confirmed in Go SMS Pro). This is essentially your problem, and changing display options will not hide these duplicate records.

The only solution i've found is to delete the contacts from the other locations. So, if you erase your SIM contacts and delete the contacts from your phone, and stick to one source, say google, this will solve your problem.

You can confirm this by deleting a duplicate contact from google and your sim, and only keeping the Phone contact, then if you bring it up in Messaging, you'll only see one phone number.

I understand you said you want to keep a copy of each contact in ALL places, but that will result in those multiple entries. Seems like an app limitation to me. Looks like the app is simply showing all the contact records that Android sees without accounting for duplicate entries.

Like i said 3 paragraphs above, if you do that, you will not see duplicates and i really don't see any significant negatives by not storing your contacts in 3 places at all times.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
So how do I get Google to care enough to fix this? Is another messaging program reliable enough?
