[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
MS gives what the market demands. The iPhone has shown that the market wants easy to use devices which require minimum fussing over. WP7 is the right way to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
The HD2 was not the first major Windows Mobile device, there were Windows Mobile devices long before iPhone back when it was Windows Mobile vs Palm.

But yeah, those were the days.

On topic:

Some option to hide the adress bar would be nice. Maybe the back button could be used to bring the adress bar back into view?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Blanket statements are rarely true, and this is no exception. If it were true, Android would have zero market share. Obviously, that is not the case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Windows Mobile didn't fail because of too much choice, either. Windows Mobile failed because Smartphones moved from being predominantly Business Devices to being Consumer Devices, and Windows Mobile didn't move on. Hardware wasn't facilitating "fun" and the form factors it was mostly used with (Resistive Touch or QWERTY devices) simply didn't facilitate that either. It was also coded for old hardware and never really updated to take advantage of modern hardware (all of this is similar to RIM's issue with BBOS).

The proliferation of ActiveSync in newer smartphones didn't help, either.

Windows Mobile didn't really fail. The market just moved on. It had half a decade of doing pretty darn good before the market changes pushed it out. Mobile got really crowded, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I have to agree with this & add the fact that MS took too long in making WM7/WP7. I mean, if they released WM7 back in around 2006(?) when WinCE 6.0 came out. Than, they would of been way ahead of the game. They stretched it beyond it limits & gave way to iOS & Android. Similar to How Nintendo was once a major video game manufacturer & while it's arguable they still are. Nintendo is no where near as big as they used to be. The reason, a few wrong choices like sticking with a cartridge on the N64. They lost a lot of 3rd party developers that way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The HD2 was the first mainstream consumer-friendly WM device. It actually is a joy to use, but due to Windows Mobile's design and user interface, HTC Sense could only do so much.

Using Opera Mobile in it was also a good choice, and it at least had some level of Adobe Flash compatibility.

Unfortunatley it is hard to get past the bad LCD panel, finger-dodging stylus interface once you get past HTC sense, bad reception, poor speakers, and a lot of people got defective devices that simply did not perform adequately. I bolded someof those, becaue HTC is known for these. Microsoft should have asked Samsung or someone to make a high end WM device and helped them with Drivers and User Interface uplifts, IMO.

With the HD2 you also paid for a device with an OS that could not fully utilize the hardware you paid a premium price for. That never makes people feel good. It's like buying a Quad Core computer with top end graphics card, but finding out you could only use on-board graphics and 1 CPU core...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelqds:
Hi everyone.

Last night I went to bed and as usual I check my Nexus S battery.

It indicated me very low battery, and turn it off.

So far, no problem, i thought, well there isn't enough battery to turn on the phone. I connected the cellphone to the wall charger and went to sleep.

Today i woke up and try it to turn it on, the screens just flashes and nothing happens.... Removed battery, try it again, the same.

Try 100 times that, and there was one time a Warning of Bootloader came up. Don't know what i did different thought, but now i can't get the same result.

Actually now the screen doesn't even flashes when i press the power button.

The battery seems to be charged, i tested with a LED. My wall charger is also working cause it's able to charge my old phone.

And now to get things even worse, as i bought it in asia, i don't have warranty, and the gran finale, Nexus S is not been sold in Brazil due to some regulatory issues, so Samsung said it they can't help me with an imported product.

The Cellphone is brand new, doesn't have not even ONE month of use.

It's not rotted, and it was in the latest android firm.

Does anyone have any idea what can i do????

The phone doesn't respond to anything :(.

Tnks a lot in advance.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! SEE THE LAST THREAD. BR!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GchildT:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
dude, i think there is something wrong with our country. take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111761

i think you tried everything possible, can't see what else you could do. Looks like a hardware issue..

if i were you, i'd claim for warranty, even if you bought in hk, it has warranty, of course you will lose shipping cost, but, it's better than lose the phone! =o]

good luck!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelqds:
GchildT: Nothing happens when i connect the charger to the cellphone.

Already tried the hard reset (volumn up + power button) nothing happens

thiagodark: Tell me about it, i read this thread ealier this morning, actually i send it a private message asking him if he solve his problem... samsung is really disappoint me.

The thing i found most said is that the phone is bran new! Not a month year old.

And i didn't do anything, not even rotted, dropped, anything!

:(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaelqds:
PROBLEM SOOOOOOOOOOOLVED!!!

The problem was that there was a little tiny piece of plastic dirt in the usb male plug in the phone! And that piece was able to make a faulty contact with the charger, the phone battery was dead as hell.

Can you believe that?????

I almost sent my phone across the world in order to use the warranty.

Now I'm back with my cellphone up , happy as hell!

Tnks a lot, and remenber to always clean everything before use more drastic measures.

It would just be an apk file yes but it's possible that it relies of files not found on the SGS or is incompatible with the SGS in someway, unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to determine this and I'm unsure of how to extract it from a ROM.

So this thread is to find someone who knows the difficulties of porting it over and/or who knows how to obtain the apk.

Are there any alternative home launchers that allow you to put sense widgets on it? I absolutely love the sense widgets but I hate the home screen lag.

[HTC Sensation] Towle:
I had a myTouch 4G before the Sensation that was rooted with a stock Android rom and I had all my widgets loooking identical to sense.

Download Beautiful Widgets (it is $1.99 but WAY worth it if you want cool widgets!) There is a clock called "SuperClock" that comes with the app that looks IDENTICAL to sense, especially when you download the (free) skin called "super sense". It also has the sense-looking toggle widgets etc. All with TONS of skins to choose from. The super clock even has the sense animations if you download the free animations add-on.

And just in case (for the non-readers out there) after downloading the app, you apply the widgets like any other (long-press). Opening the app is just for adjusting settings/skins etc.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xadow:
I had a StockSpl on my Htc touch pro and I wanted to flash an unsigned Hard-SPL from my MicroSD because I wasn't home and I didn't have the USB cable. After the screen loaded 100% the device restarted I took off the MicroSD and now it keep showing this tri-color screen:

RUUNBH

RAPH100

SPL-1.90.000

MicroP-Raph (LED) v13

MicroP-Raph (KEY) v5

PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again

Serial.

(I've also attached a picture)

If i try to flash again from MicroSD the same HSPL it loads until 100% then restart and start to load again until i get the MicroSD card off. Or if i try to flash other StackSPL or any other ROM it stays on Loading on a grey screen.

After I went home I tried to flash the HSPL again from my computer using the USB cable, it start to load 0% then it does nothing. I've tried to flash StockSpl and other ROMs from the computer too but it does the same.

I think i've tried anything but nothing seems to work ... if someone can help me pls ... i've searched the entire forum and there's someone that had almost the same problem here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566796

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You can't flash hard spl off your sd card; it's got to be done through a usb cable.

Just read through the hard spl thread; it's long, but your situation has probably been addressed. I did it almost 3 years ago, so I don't remember the tricks. That's the case with most posters, I'm afraid. Just read the thread.

Either, but read the first one. You can also look in the unlocker thread. Hell, you may just want to buy the unlocker and run that. It will flash hard spl, and the directions may be better.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
I just hope they aren't trying to HSPL(hard SPL) a CDMA device :S I've made the mistake to assume the person that was posting in this forum had a GSM device and they really screwed up after a third attempt at flashing HSPL! :(

Usually if I have a difficult time flashing my Fuze or TP(both GSM), I remove everything to include the battery, connect the USB to an available USB port on the computer then hold the volume down key while connecting the device to the USB cable. Probably not the most friendly way but it certainly will tell you if there is a problem with your USB port/cable or even device! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xadow:
My htc raphael is GSM :)

I've tried to hold the volume down button but it's always the same :(

There's no problem with the cable just that I can't flash anything because I'm stuck with a stock-spl and I can't flash a hard-spl either. When I try to flash something from the computer it starts to flashing with 0% then nothing happends until the RUU gives me the 262 Error. And when i try to flash from my mSD it just stuck with a Loading screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mskip:
Naughty Naughty.. :rolleyes:

I guess you realise now that you should ALWAYS read read read before modifying your phone in any way.

What EXACT file did you originally flash to your phone via microsd card and where did you get it from?

If you go into the bootloader screen and then connect the usb cable does it show "usb" at the bottom of the screen?

PLEASE STOP TRYING TO FLASH HARDSPL FROM MICROSD AS YOU CANT DO IT. If you could then it would be in my guide..

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xadow:
Thanks for replying :D

Yes ... I did read the part with the SD flashing but i thought it's not a bit deal to flash from mSD since the flashing via activesync is so easy.

Well ... i extracted the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Hard-SPL found HERE and i copied it to the mSD (MicroSD) and renamed it RAPHIMG.nbh.

I restarted my phone holding the volume down button and it started to load until 100% then it restarted and showed the bootloader screen and after a couple of seconds start to flash the HSPL again so after it completed 2 or 3 times of flashing and restarted i took the battery and the mSD off (I DIDN'T TOOK THE BATTERY WHILE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FLASHING). And when i started the phone again without mSD it showed the bootloader screen like it was waiting to get a .nbh file on mSD to start flashing again.

No matter what i do my phone start in bootloader and down it shows "Serial". If i connect the usb it shows "USB".

I tryed to do a hard reset and it seem to work but after it finish and the phone restarts is stuck with the same tri-colour screen. :(

Sry for trouble and thx again :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
I guess I missed the part in the OP where you said it was stuck in bootloader. That's not good. I would try flashing the stock raphael rom (assuming you have it). Have you tried that? I dunno, you may be stuck for good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mskip:
As Farmer Ted said your best bet now is to download your ORIGINAL Rom (from your provider) and flash it from your pc with the usb cable attached. The phone had to be in SSPL mode before running the RUU which is why everything was packed in a single exe. You may have corrupted your SPL in which case you have bricked your phone but if you can manage to flash a Stock Rom then the Stock SPL should be reflashed and you can start again with the HardSPL by following the CORRECT instructions and not making up your own lol.

Good luck.

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Xadow:
When i bought my phone, the first thing i did was to dump the rom. So now i rebuild it from raw and tried to flash but it didn't work so i went to Orange site and i downloaded the official ROM then started to flash and ... IT WORKS :D

I think that the ROM was corrupted not the SPL, and since the SPL was stock it didn't allow me to flash other ROMs other then the official :o

Thanks for all guys I couldn't done this without your help

P.S: why did it allowed me to flash the official rom but the hspl not?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
It didn't flash the hard spl because you did it all wrong; those rebuilt roms aren't exactly the same as the stock roms, so it's not surprising that wouldn't flash. Good job finding the original shipped one, though.

Now, just read mskip's instructions and you should be good to go. I think the trick is just to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc through the usb cable.
