Had one of these with my PS3 so I tried connecting it to the Acer. It paired and worked :-)! Of course, it's huge in comparison.... but it was what I had. The touchpad doesn't do anything though... so no mouse-like functionality.

I've also tried bluetooth tethering but the two devices will pair but not connect.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_wrong_0:
Mine does that too where it will hang on Obtaining IP address just make sure your phone is on meaning the screen is on (showing wifi tether.) For some reason it can run but not connect very well while the screen is off. Don't know why this is, but it's been only a minor inconvenience.

Even with the phone screen on, showing the wifi tether screen it doesn't connect. And when I assign a static IP address Wifi Tether never notifies that a client has connected.

Okay so I need help with notification bar icons editing.

I've successfully changed the icons and it looks good on my phone but there's a problem with the battery icon.

Im using ClassicalGas's JAMT theme icons and his battery icons has 1-100. So I copied those battery pictures into drawable-mdpi folder but when my phone has for example 90~100% battery, the icon shows 100% and doesnt change. When it has 80~90%, the icon changes to show 80%.

Im guessing there's something wrong with animation or something? Also, when Im charging, the icon doesnt change too. Please help me, i've attached my framework-res.apk and ClassicalGas's JAMT theme res folder.

I would really appreciate your help! thanks (:

You need to replace battery xmls too, not only images.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
If you look at my previous posts I am been a regular basher of WP7 for last 4 months.. but now that I bought one and see everything in it, I think its an excellent interface and a great piece of innovative technology that surpasses Android and Iphone at many levels. I dont even have the Nodo update yet on my phone, but I still love this phone more than anything other I have ever used. Great piece of technology, Zune Pass, Marketplace and all Microsoft services run very smooth and just perfect.

I love how quickly I can switch back from Application to another with such a ease. Its great for Multi-tasking. Microsoft has also added little things which makes its very comfortable to use, like when I plug out the earphones, the music player automatically stops and dosents star blaring in phone speakers.

The proximity sensors on Samsung Omnia 7 works great with no fail. So no more of me accidentally taping on screen while on call.. its very handy, every touch phone should have it.

Everything on Windows Phone is smooth and bug free.

It has made buying so easy by billing it straight to my AtnT bill, that I no longer bother to get a 'crack' file and just buy the software if I like the trial. Gone is the software piracy problem, it will kill websites like ppcwarez...

Listening, exploring and buying music is such a nice experience, nothing like that exists in Windows Mobile and could not have been implemented using that platform.

Microsoft did a great work on Windows Phone and I have found new respect for people working their. Congratulations and Thank You.

PS - If only I could disable the Search Button sometimes and had a little longer battery life it would be great.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The shiny will wear off soon enough.

Both have their place, but WM is a bit more flexible and more universally useful ATM, especially an HTC Sense WM device like the HD2.

IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
what i liked about windows mobile is whats preventing me from saying wp7 is better.

I know the ui is much more smoother and lag free but i miss being able to wifi tether, use my device as a usb mass storage device, and being able to download albums, rar files, and everything from the web to my storage card on the go and update my library all without the use of a computer, i dont like how wp7 is dependent upon the computer like the iphone is. And i like being able to use the file explorer on windows mobile to manage my files.

i love wp7 and im getting one as soon as verizon launches it but those are some key features that are slightly holding wp7 back
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Then you need to remember one thing, Microsoft has upgraded WM 6.5 though several years. So what do you expect on the OS that has just been published for about few months?

Now is time for Microsoft to listen to their user and consider about it. Mango Update look quite bright to me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] hungry81:
But you haven't OWNED a android phone or a current iphone.

You state in another post you have been using a 4 or 5 year old winmo phone followed by an old clamshell for 1 year.

Are you sure this time? I'ld hate for you to change your mind AGAIN

Most modern smart phones have working proximity sensors and music player/headset settings

if you consider a half finished operating system bug free... by all means

PRAISE THE LORD, he has seen the light, The sinner has been redeemed. WP7 Set him straight and it can work for you too. Nothing more heartwarming than a indecisive ex pirate leech turn over a new leaf simply beacuse he is too lazy/unable to find cracked software for his device. MOAR MORAL LESSONS PLEASE

Thanks for your educated opinion. No way were there ever marketplaces for Winmo...... Except for the fact theree was. And yes installing .cab files was so difficult, If you were inept.

How heartwarming. well WP7 fanbois your stuck with it now. Try show it an iphone, it'll prob fall in love with that and leave you guys alone.

BUT U SAYD NO BUGZ LOLZ :cry
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Hahaha it was fun to read.
[Windows Phone 7 General] argentocruz:
Agreed... I saw YouTube vids on the first looks at WP7 and thought it looked dull and boring, but after flashing my HD2, the phone is now slick, smooth, alive... I notice everything I do is quicker...

I show my iGroan and Haemorrhoid mates the bing search, pizza, pick a store, get directions... Blows them away!
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
hungry81 is right in what he's saying.

If you make a new OS, its all about to add new stuff, and update the old stuff, but without quitting anything!!!!

Like windows did, take a look at it, in Win7 we actually have DOS, and the very old win95 Theme, with a very good backward compatibility.

Thats a good job, and I was hoping that microsoft would go on with this positive actitude in mobile devices.

But no, they quit almost everything, everything that made WM so great and different from any other dumbass users OS like Iphone and Blackberry.

And you can't say that's only because the system is new, because as I read in this forum, WP7 is based on windows CE like WM, so nothing revolutionary.

you absolutely can't give props to the marketplace!

With my WM, I go to the internet site or eMule and download every App I need, without having problems to find them with very much good freeware.

With the Marketplace, almost every App has a price, maybe little, but I don't like to pay for something that in the previous platform was for free.

So why does WP7 fail in almost every aspect??? I'm shure, its because they want to stop piracy, so they quit almost every bridge to it (I can't find any other explanation).

No filesystem, no registry editor, no custom setups and even no flash in IE.

Now the biggest question: why do I own a WP7???? The answer is, because Iphone is to expensive and It sucks even more, Blackberry and nokia are not made for such multimedia, and Android, its more like a fashion, maybe its here today but not tomorrow, and WM 6,5 is no longer supported by new apps.

I hope, WP7 will start to live, will get better, and more user-friendly with better Apps support, downloadable directly from the internet site.

My biggest fear, is that what happened to WM, will happen to our main computer, in Windows 8
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
You know what happens to companies that make products that have all these wonderful features that nerds/geeks/techies love but no one else does?

I guess it is to be expected on a geek website that many members are upset with Windows Mobile going from a toolbox to a box of crayons, but somewhere along the way you should be forward-thinking enough to see it had to be done.

When it all boils down to it, in general iOS is better than all the other mobile OSes. Not because it can be more or do more, but because it is the most popular. Imagine if iOS came on several different handsets. So it is not for every specific person but in general it is well suited for most people.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. Microsoft moved on, and I think everyone else should. Some people come into the Windows Mobile forum on a daily basis only intent on bashing the system. Microsoft wants Windows Phone to be the next iOS, not the next Android. Restrictions down to the number of physical buttons, no intended removable storage, and Zune dependent.

And you know the writing is on the wall for Android. What happens when more and more new devices come out with locked bootloaders? What happens when Google starts to tighten up the controls in the system? Business is about being a copycat. 10% innovation, 90% follow the leader.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
hey man you got me wrong. Read accurately.

Microsoft HAD to move to that "innovating" platform, but without quitting the old one.

giving some kind of connection to the old windows mobile options.

So everyone would be happy, the new bunch of stupid IOS-cloned users, and the old freaky nerds

but I'm shure, its for some anti-piracy reason...
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
One of the reasons why this WP7 is not selling so well

Is it is limited in many areas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
another thing that I didn't mention, is that everyone is saying that WP7 is so easy to use.

I don't like that interface.

I'll tell you why.

I updated from WM6.1 to WM6.5 and I must say, I hated that start menu so much that I went back to WM6.1

Ok, perhaps it's fingerfriendly, for some unsensible fingers.

but I had a hard and frustrating time, finding my apps and setups.

That's because there is no folder rule, something that made so popular windows OS

Same problem has Iphone and Android, and finally WP7.

It may be easy to use if yo have less than 10 apps, but imagine having 30 apps and scrolling like a fool to find your app, that's mixed with the other phone icons.

I'm not an Apps fan, and I always try to have less apps than possible.

But I like it organized, with some folder-gerachy.

Android its scary, its desktop is full of apps icons one time I was 5 minutes searching for the Cam without finding anything. so I let it.

I know everyone is thinking the same, and I don't know why there's people who say that WP7 is cool and the new wave of mobile-OS are the future.

Maybe they have to give a sense to their spent money, or to the fact, that possibly there will be no go back to previous cool features and improvements of WM6.1
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I dont think so, I think the reason why maybe its not selling so well is simply because many people are afraid to switch to their trusted Android or Iphone platform to something which is relativly new. But trust me, once they Windows Phone 7 Interface they will never go back.. I have never owned one Iphone or Android phone, but all my friends have them and they all borrow it to me for weeks because I am more tech saavy than them and I load usefull apps for them , so I pretty much know and have tested Iphone and Android at length.. but WP7 is nothing like that..

All my friends who borrowed me their Android and Iphones before now see my WP7 and the smoothness in WP7 and they all just want to instantly switch.. One just need to see it for more than 20 mins in a showroom and actually use the device for a week to see how good WP7 is compared to WM6.5, Iphone or Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
My WP totally blows all my Iphone and Android users.. they are like 'WTF!!?? This is so nice.:
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Lol at this thread... OP, you're entirely right, and it is a wonderful OS. It can only improve from here.

I sold my WP7 for £300 poor poor beta OS, dual booting my HD2, WM6.5 and Android Gingerbread best of both worlds. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] ziko:
man, you are a lucky guy........or have you LOST 300????
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well Android supports folders.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well definitely there will be many users loving WP7 look and feel.

For me it was opposite - I fell in love once I unboxed it but after 3 months I was having enough of limitations plus honestly UI of WP7 is dead boring after 3 months, some tiles are so horribly unappealing. It seems sometimes like a sketch not finished UI.

But this is taste and individual feeling. Many users will catch it. People I know were not appealed at all. So it's very individual.

And I have no idea in what sense WP7 is "so good" compared to Android or iOS.

I didn't find any real reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhory:
double post soz :eek::)
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
That's the point.

For business its useless, but for multimedia??? now its also useless, no full IE experiece due lack of flash and silverlight, you can't even send videos via e-mail!

the majority of programs in the marketplace is junk, I didn't find not any useful programm, only thousands of stupid torch programs, where it not even uses the flashlight, but a "white screen" and this for 0,99€!!!!!

at the moment, you have a better experience with a WM phone. I took the WP7 only because of the big screen, because my WM phone was 320x240, internet navigation was a little frustrating.

but someone who has a HD2 or a touch pro 2, he might not miss anything right now. maybe in a future, where a WP7 will have at least a full IE support

Despite this, one thing that I really like, is that no-brand system.

IMO almost every WM phone was ruined by third-party brandings like HTC with it touch flow, that made landscape view almost impossible, and made the system really slow. I hated the clock too.

And all that pre-installed programms that I never used like musicplayer, photoviewer, htc search and options, contacts, but they were there to bother.

At least, WP7, is free from that stuff, I think thats a reason, why it's that smooth and user friendly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
iPhone has shown that consumers don't want too many features. Face it, the era of WM is dead. Consumers want user experience so don't blame MS for providing what the market is demanding. Remember when iPhone came out with all those features missing compared to the other phones in the market and still blew them away? That's right, people didn't care about those features and don't care about them now.

The press and the fanboys would have ripped WP7 apart for being bloated and the same old Windows Mobile had MS carried over all the features from WM. By starting from scratch the the press was overall positive towards WP7.

Like I said, the market DEMANDS usability. The era of PPC is dead. Not everyone can be bothered with file managers and downloading cabs from random places online. Not everyone wants to mess around with the registry to make things work. With WP7 "it just works".
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhory:
Nah, I got it for zilch as an upgrade, still like my HD2 though, got that as an upgrade too time before. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I think I understood. But my belief is they do not want to attempt to make everyone happy, and I believe you cannot. There is no middle ground.

They (Microsoft) do not want to create an open system. So how can you make nerds happy? As painful as this is for me to admit, businesses are adopting the Apple way because it is proven to be successful.

Samsung CEO more or less said they needed to push out a Tablet more like the iPad 2. So they are due to release a thinner Tablet at the same price point. They even took a step back on their rear camera to cut costs and follow the Apple recipe.

The iPhone started a revolution of PDA Touchscreen phones. I remember when I bought the Motorola ROKR E6 (I still think Apple ripped this a little ;) ) and then the iPhone came out a year later I was quite happy. I thought it would spark a revolution of phones that suited my tastes. And it did.

So until Apple fails, or someone else does something else and achieves similar success, companies will copy that model. Apple is constantly trying to stop people from Jailbreaking their devices. You cannot be Apple and Android/WinMo at the same time.

Windows Phone is trying to be iOS with several handset options. And I think that is a winning recipe right there. I never understand why people are so critical of their lack of features. Rome was not built in a day. In the meanwhile, stay at a Holiday Inn.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
Ok it sounds good. But you know why i bought WP7? Because it was for 200€ free from brandings. This in phonehouse. I asked why its so cheap cause in their internet site here in spain its out for more than 600€, they told me, these are the last lg models, they're cleaning stocks. I asked for the trophy, it was out for less than 200€, but there was no stock left. So i took the lg. Whats going on? Nobody wants WP7 here in europe, the only users of WM like the nerds, they went to android. And business, like my company where i work, changed to nokia. They are not cleaning stocks for upcoming models, because there are no upcomings. No nvidia tegra support no future. They are blowing the last phones away for new androids...

So the point is. Is this only happening here in spain? Will WP7 stay Alive in the market before mango? Will there be any tegra support?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ no the OS is dead until Mango. Expect maybe one more phone until Mango.

Any bets?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
As an every day user, and not an arrogant bias user on this forum, I have yet to find a feature that "OMGZ is so lacking" that would force me to use another phone... Honestly. Like the average 15-35 year old I'm constantly on Twitter and FB... and that's honestly what most of the population wants. Most of them don't even know what an exchange server is. And the experience is the best I've used for me. Yeah, sure, I can install a file explorer on Android... Great, like that'll make my daily life so much better. I mean, it's obvious to say that Android has more nerdy features for you guys, great. But to say it's "beta" or "incomplete" is ridiculous. Was the iPhone incomplete when it launched? Or even before the iPhone4? If it was, obviously the general public didn't get the message and just didn't care...
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhory:
The money men have got the message, that is all that counts, WP7 has failed, badly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
How has it failed? Because you say it has? Man, you guys must have the most successful businesses, and must own the best available stock, because I'm telling you, some of you guys can determine what a company should do, and how it has failed at meeting the expectation of .000001% of the market on here... I would love to hire you as a financial assistant. The fact that its market share is INCREASING probably says that it hasn't "failed" sir.

On that note, I'll take reliability and usability over a crap load of features I maybe used twice in 10 years of using Windows Mobile. We used everything we did on WinMo because we had to. We HAD to flash ROMs to make it functional. We HAD to customize it to make it easy to use. We HAD to do every thing we did in order for the phone not to be a paper weight, and even then, it was painfully slow, unstable, crashy, and plain horrible to use.

It's funny though, because 99% of the users who come to this subforum and continuously bash Windows Phone in favor of Windows Mobile stopped using WinMo as their daily OS, and had already switched to Android on their HD2s and Rhodiums... Think about that. Obviously Microsoft was on the wrong path if you guys were already switching away. The market changed, they never did. And Android was a "failure" on your terms until Verizon flooded money into marketing it.

I've also seen a lot of you in the past, and not particularly the users on this topic, bash Apple for its approach, and blah blah blah. Honestly, these companies are here to make money and appeal to the masses, not to satisfy the inner geek in you. If they did everything you guys wanted, the average user who wants a pink case with pink tiles and a phone that can connect her to twitter wouldn't ever buy the phones.
