[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Nowhere have I said it's fact. I'm just saying you're posting in a high-end smartphone forum about paying $5 for a single game. I never told you or anybody to pay $5 for every god damned app you see... This thread was about Angry Birds, that's what I'm talking about, so I don't know where this $100+ came into play. And my point is, that if you cannot pay a one time cost of $5 for ANGRY BIRDS, then your priorities are obviously skewed, because if you were that tight on money, you could sell your device for a couple hundred. This thread turned into a hypothetical battle of "if I pay $5 for every app" when it's clearly about whether it's worth paying the $5 for Angry Birds over Panda v Ninjas or Chicks N Vixens...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Holy ****. I don't get what all the fuzz is about. oO I simply like that type of game. I got Chicks'n'Vixens, which is great, I got Pandas vs. Ninjas, which is a great game as well and I will get Angry Birds. Even if it's for 5 bucks. For me it's all about the fun I have playing these games. If I can spend a couple of hours with them, why shouldn't I pay 2, 3 or 5$? Watching a movie in a cinema is more expensive - at least over here in Germany - and takes like 2 hours at max.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
I've been buying these high prices smartphones for 8 years or so and I will clearly state that paying $4.99 for one game is ****ing ridiculous. Especially when the smartphone market bears the game should be sold at no more than $1.99.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ guess you haven't seen the price of new HD games.

Different strokes for different folks
[Windows Phone 7 General] cgibsong002:
You see... you're still trying to tell me my priorities are skewed as if what you're saying is fact. I don't get why you can't just accept the fact that some people have different opinions. I didn't even say I wouldn't buy Angry Birds.. I may or I may not. Furthermore, refusing to pay for a game would never cause my priorities to be skewed.. it's just a video game, buddy, nobody needs them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
You make one argument, and when I counter it using the same words you do, those same words aren't valid. I'm wasting my time obviously.

Angry Birds is worth waiting for, sorry OP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
First off... a few dozen apps would not all be $4 more than on any other platform. There are many apps on WP7 Marketplace that are free or cheaper than on Android or iOS. My point is that even if you paid $4 more for 12 apps (and a comparable price for all other apps), you'd still only be at $48 more. It's basically only games that are more expensive. Everything else is comparable. Do you literally buy a few dozen apps that are all incredibly more expensive on WP7... I think not.

If you don't like it, go away and buy an Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] professorwol:
I would pay 1.99 max

HD7 unlocked
[Windows Phone 7 General] fosormic:
OK. Point taken.

So about Ninjas and Pandas...?
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
About pandas and ninjas, it doesn't always recognize the tap-to-activate of the panda's. Very annoying and frustrating
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I haven't had that problem.

Aside from some of the levels being frustratingly difficult, I'm really enjoying the game (ninja grunts and all ;)).

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
So I have a 2gb card in my HD2 right now while running live and according to my sync with my computer, i have .16 gigs left on it.

Isn't there memory onboard the HD2? I know that WP7 uses the memory from the card, but i would at least think it would use some of the memory from the HD2. Do I need to go buy a larger card? I mean I hate to spend $20 on a card if I don't need to. Right now im at the point where I cannot even transfer a photo.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
WP7 in it's present incarnation only recognizes and uses 512MB of the the HD2's 1GB so you need a larger SD card if you have one. What happened to your factory SD that came with the HD2...I believe it was a 4GB microSD?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
I got this phone for free, so im using an old sd card i had laying around. im gonna probably just go to radio shack while they are having this sale to get the 16g scan disk.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
Here is a question. In my sync, it says the capacity on my card is .16g, I had android on there before. Is android still on there? If so, is there a way to remove it? i want to make sure i am getting all the memory out of my card
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
WP7 installation is supposed to reformat your SD card. In Zune, under view settings or one of the lists of what you can you do with your phone, there is a way to view how much memory you have to play with and also be able to re-allocate memory for specific uses. Check it out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
I cant use zune since i have an Apple iMac. Im using the windows phone 7 connector software off the windows site. It supposedly is the zune version for mac. I just find it hard to believe that ONLY the rom is taking up 2gb of space.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
OK, very interesting senerio here. I took out SD card and booted up the phone. The phone actually loaded into windows just fine. Not only that, my wifi was detected. But with the SD card in, no wifi. My SD card must not work
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
yeah that is correct, your SD card hasnt been recognised at the initial setup, you need to try one of two things, try formatting the card in a digital camera (to be honest even this isnt a great idea) or two, you need a new SD card

SD cards even within the same brands and models may or may not work, some will not install at all, others will install but with issues, wifi, random reboots, lagging, to name a few.

The reason i mention the formating isnt an ideal solution is because, yes it may work, but the underlying issue of the card not originally working is still there, all you have done is moved the bar a bit, the card its self may still generate errors.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
OK, i may reformat, i may just get a new card tomorrow. If I reformat, or get a new card, i need to reload the rom dont I? i cant just install the card and be done with it?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
correct, what ever you do you will need to reformat it
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
Well, I have tried the 3, 2g SD cards I had from getting phones. I also went and bought a $30 SD card and it did not work, so I returned it and got a different $30 SD card, which also did not work.

I am getting pretty fed up.

Does anyone have a spare SD card, that they know works that they want to sell/give me? I don't care the size, i just want to be able to load peoples pictures into the phone..

I just hate wasting my money on cards that don't seem to work
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
First of all, since you live in Trinity, it would be nice if you knew how to writer proper sentence to get your question across.

Secondly, why you're spending $30 for an SD card is beyond me.

Third, you need to consider the brand and speed of the SD cards you are supposedly purchasing. Are you buying a brand from a reputable manufacturer and are you buying a card with sufficient speed for WP7? I would recommend at a minimum a Class 4 card (Class 6 highly suggested). Also, a 2GB card probably won't buy you anything on WP7 since WP7 on an HD2 uses the SD card a the primary source of working memory. Thus, at a bare minimum a 4GB card is recommended.

And as most of the posting on the forum have indicated, the SD card issue on the HD2 is a hit and miss affair. And I really do hope you have the SD card in the phone when you install WP7, otherwise, no amount of changing will work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
i would highly NOT recomend a class 6 card, there is less chance of that working.

The class ratings define sustained sequential speed, WP7 doesnt need that, it needs high random speeds, the two are not always compatible, go for a class 2 or 4 card and you are more LIKELY to get a card that works, as teh above poster mentioned, it is hit or miss and there is no compatible list, there is apparently a AT&T card branded for WP7, good luck finding a place that sells that outside of an actual shop and expect to pay a premium for it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnd10706:
Yes I have installed WP7 with the SD card in. First with the 2g card that came with my HD2, then with a Scandisk 4g one, and then with a $30 Kingston 16g one.

Honestly, im going to radioshack tomorrow and going to buy a 4g kingston class 4 one. In the sd card forum it says it works. So we will see.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
did you honestly read those threads? there isnt any 100% compatible cards, all these, "confirmed working cards" threads are about as confirmed as the paper its been wrote on. Buy what you can afford, because the only way you are getting a "confirmed" card is if someone has actually tried it and has given it to you. Also its worth noting that getting it installed on the card is only half the battle, if WP7 has the slightest issue with thecard it it can course several different issues.

As i said, its very much luck if you can get it working, it absolutely flys and is super smooth if you can get it perfect :)

Designers, programmers, managers,

Lets say You have an App in which after you have completed a demographic search you are to pick at least 3 Cities that begin with the letters "Mel" from anywhere in the world. The search report display output contains 1,000 cities in no particular order.

Question: How long would it take flipping from page to page on your phone or tablet to locate those 3 Cities that match your criteria?

If you could take the time loss multiplied by the number of similar apps multiplied by minutes wasted multiplied by total number of people using apps like these then you're going to be talking about major league waste of time and effort.

Question: Allow those same cities to be sorted in Ascending order. How long will it take now? You get the picture.

Such an extreme example is to illustrate a somewhat bothersome trend in recent application design. That after a team or individual has gone through all of the time and trouble of creating their masterpiece of an application that they abandon the final phase which involves presentation of their output/display data from in an unruly, unsorted mess thereby doing their clients, customers, fans and themselves a major disservice.

The productivity hit from wasted time can be major.

Designers, programmers, managers please remember that computers are meant to bring order and harmony into our lives not disarray and hardship. Adding suitable sorting controls and filters can help do that in a major way and lends itself under the category of best practices.

The people who use your apps on a day to day basis will be ever grateful for your thoughtfulness.

Your comment appreciated.

[General Topics] oka1:
Interesting observation/comment.......... a bit convoluted ........

In simpler terms, make an app, make sure you understand how the end user needs it to be laid out vs how you the designer thinks it should be laid out. Remember the end user Always needs to rule this argument if success is the goal
[General Topics] mikeygnyc:
That's just good app design on any platform... know your user; understand how the user interacts and what the user needs.
[General Topics] tcalbaz:
Sorry for all of the convolution. I just seized on the pet peeve of the moment and went with it. Sometimes I forget that the very act of software development can be a black art all in itself and the wizards who perform all of the designs are but mere mortals :o
[Droid Eris General] agregano:
okay so what you wanna do is go to settings, then go to accounts & sync then uncheck background data! It wont affect anything but the market so when you wanna download stuff you just have to turn it back on then off. This will increase your battery 100 percent no lie! It made my phone amazing.
[Droid Eris General] klobkelosh:
Also good if you do not want to receive any emails or notifications of any sort...
[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
I just have a 3G switch in my notification bar so I can turn it off/on quickly when I want, and doing so saves my battery countless hours of life. I turned my phone on 7 hours ago and I've only had 3G turned on once for some quick browsing and resyncing my contacts with Facebook, and I'm still at 90% battery (and I've done a fair amount of messaging today and made two phone calls) :P
[Droid Eris General] Darca:
How do you put that in your Notification bar? I'd really like to be able to do this that easily.
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
There is an app in the market called widgetsoid that can do it. Or you can flash a CM rom. They all can do it natively. There's other ways but these are just a couple that can get you started.

[Droid Eris General] doogald:
Well, I often change my Google cal on the web on a desktop PC (or in iCal on my Mac) - much easier - and I wouldn't get gmail with background data turned off. So, it does affect more than the market, actually.

[Droid Eris General] ntwrkguru:
Using MacROM and smartass governer, turning off BT/WiFi and GPS, I was able to get 2.5 days of battery out of mine on a recent weekend camping trip. Unless I'm on the phone or REALLY texting a lot, I can make it from 7am to midnight and still be on >25%. The ROM can make a HUGE difference!
[Droid Eris General] ccgabe:
Kind of the same as turning the phone off... the battery will last a week with it off.
[Droid Eris General] snortman:
Isn't that amazing? It could probably even last twice as long with it turned off. Good luck getting any notifications, though. :) Of course, there are some days that it would be nice to have it turned off.

I installed a Rom and didn't like the bootanimation. I tried everything to replace it the apps I used where absolute control, root tools and bootchanger none work I believe boot changer delete my boot animation. Once I reboot my phone after it says HTC the screen goes black and than loads everything else. Can any one help me restore the original or a new bootloader
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odinist:
Get Super Manager from the market, it's free. In its settings, make sure and enable root function. Then to to either /data/local/ or /system/media/ (depending on which ROM you're running), and replace whatever bootanimation.zip is there with the one that you want. Or, if you completely removed (or just rename) the one that's there, you'll have the AOSP boot screen.

Thanks for trying though.

Also you tried updating using SEUS it might flash it back to orange firmware but i cant say for sure

Push this file to /system/app/ through root explorer or adb.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdellingson7:
Just a suggestion, anytime you need to find an app that is included in a rom your able to pull it out. This file could have been pulled from the latest ED01 zip. Open the zip file and go into system/app and extract the app you want. Install by placing app onto sd card then move into system/app using root explorer. You have to make sure permissions are set right - All read boxes checked and top write box check. Then reboot phone

The memos you wrote are saved as a .db file in the dbdata section of root. Not entirely that useful, but it can at least be converted in the long run into xml using delimited functions.
