[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JedMeister:
Hey Fr3ddY303,

It seems your Rapidshare link is dead (no great surprise there - considering it was 6mths ago you uploaded it).

Just wondering if you still had it laying around somewhere and were willing to upload it again? I would love to have a copy of it if possible.

Failing that, could you recommend a tutorial on how I could go about recreating it. I have rooted my Wildfire and have a backup of the ROM in question and use Linux, but I am finding it a little daunting, mostly because there seems to be too much info! (And a lot of it doesn't seem consistent...)

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0calstate0fmind:
Semi-noob here lol ok I've seen screenshots of peoples battery stats (what's using your battery) in the settings and their display percentage was always low. Now on my EVO, everything is pretty low probably like 10% and under. But my display % is always above 70. I've looked for fixes and other stuff but I either didn't do it right or just didn't wanna mess up my phone. So what Im askin is if someone can give me some info on this is greatly appreciate it. I'm running mikg v2.1, any other stuff you guys might need to know to help just let me know. My phone only lasts close to 3 hours after a full charge and its killing me lol thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
People only post pics when there battery seems like it super awesome. Their display percentage is 10% or less because they barely used it during that "cycle" if you will (as in they let their phone sit there for 20+ hours and not use it at all :P). Yours is so high and battery lasting not very long because your probably actually using your phone. Haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
But yeah 3 hours on a full charge sucks. First try charging to 100% and downloading the batterycalibration app. It will clear your battery stats from previous roms and should make it a bit better. Also try turning off radios when internet isn't needed (turn off 3g 4g wifi GPS etc.) When you aren't using them. This will help miraculously. Also don't keep your brightness at 100% all day haha. But I've heard this happening on that rom before. Try using the synergy rom its amazing all around. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
sense 2.1/3.0 roms always have crazy high display usage. no real fix either. battery life gets better in a few days, and it will get MUCH better once htc releases the source so people can make custom kernels.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0calstate0fmind:
Thanks for all the replies guys. What's weird is a day or 2 after I flashed miks I was getting crazy battery life almost a full day on the stock battery which amazed the hell outta me, then all of a sudden like 2 nights ago I could literally watch my battery percentage dropping. I really do love miks but i think ima switch over to synergy again. I seen that rc1 was released, I haven't been on synergy since the early nightlies. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Could not having updated radios and such be a problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
probably........
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
id say the radios may have an effect but i wouldn't think it would be all that much. Not to the point of watching it go down. Virus's kingdom rom has given me battery times ranging from 20 hrs to 10 hrs. I really think that if you get 10 hrs out of this phone you have sucessfully used your cellphone that day the CORRECT way :P

I believe to really maximize your battery or at least a good way is to start a charge in an evening to 100 percent and what not and unplug it before you go to bed. It will sit and discharge over night and imo if battery stats are what i think they are it will learn the best screen off discharge rate you can get since it will have at the very least a few hours to learn its rate. I noticed after doing this most of the time i look at my phone after it being idle for a while (45 min to an hour) i wouldn't lose much if at all any percentage. Maybe im just crazy but its been great this last week since i did this :)

Is your Facebook chat working?
[Windows Phone 7 General] 1jaxstate1:
Facebook chat isn't working for me. In the messaging option for facebook chat, I hit ON, it then says Facebook is set up on my phone, but more steps are needed for chat to work, it then going to a web page that is a dead link.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
Nope

Nope, I didn't try very hard, but it looks like other people on various threads can't get it working either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Traffic will be back in with the final release/build (if not sooner?)

Full exchange folder search should be possible, as full search of folders for online email. Your outlook wont be searchable unless you sync it to hotmail via connector or use exchange.

I haven't gotten my email yet for download, but this is whats supposed to be in the [final] build. Hope not too many things haven't been implemented, but looking forward to messing around with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
It looks great to me. Most features appear fully implmented or "implemented but not quite working" (like FB chat).

I use Exchange. Can't seem to find unsynced emails using the server (eg server search for a year old email or unsync'ed folder). This is a super useful feature on the BlackBerry.

Traffic back would be nice, as I cancelled my XM Nav on my car, since Maps Traffic worked so well :D

I will have to see how well Network Voice Recognition works when on 3G. Previously, using the LG Voice to Text App, performance on LAN was awesome but performance on anything short of a great 3G connection was awful (the wait was so long that I could park the car and type the message 5 times over).
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
You guys aren't seeing traffic in maps? I see it and it works just fine.

Don't forget you can also turn on Visual Voicemail in phone settings. Then you can get to your voice through the Phone tile, and by swiping over to voicemail.

Also, Messenger only signs in using your primary live account. You cannot add a second Live ID and have it sign it to messenger.

[Windows Phone 7 General] weatherx:
i'll be the first to ask...is there now a separate ringer volume? in other words is media and ringer volume separate?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I think asking questions is a great idea, but everyone should probably keep one important thing in mind. This is not even CLOSE to the final build, so just because a feature isn't "in there" today doesn't mean it isn't already in the plan for the release version.

With that said, here's my question. Does the task switcher offer any way to close a running task? I can't believe that such an obvious, basic, and NECESSARY feature isn't in there. And only the five most recent tasks? To quote Microsoft's own ad campaign, "Really?"
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
As far as I can tell, nope. Just a single volume control.

The only way to manage running tasks is from the background tasks option under settings. As far as I can tell, the task switcher is just a list of recent apps. They don't run in the background, they become frozen in the background (kinda like they do now in 7.0), and because they aren't actually doing anything in the background, there is no need to close anything within the task switcher. So the option doesn't make much sense to begin with since it doesn't really close anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Open the app & press back button will remove it from task switcher. The only app this doesn't work on is IE from what I've seen as the back button is the back navigator button for web pages.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ziggy89:
Try manually syncing your facebook account under email&accounts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Unless the back button has radically changed under Mango, pressing the back button once doesn't exit an app, unless the app is specifically written to treat a single back button press as "exit". Many apps are very poorly written WRT the back button, and some would require a dozen or more presses to "exit".

And, there are some apps where the back button is part of the necessary app navigation (not just IE, but some other apps I use). I wouldn't want the OS to interpret a single press as an exit if I switch back to the app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Yes, well, that simply removes the "card" from the task switcher. That doesn't necessarily close the application or kill the task. All the task switcher does is step back in time. So going back to an app, and pressing back removes it because by pressing back, you are bring the phone back to a point where the task you switched to has not been started yet (time travel, such a paradox).

If you want to remove a card from the task switcher history, instead of going to the app and pressing back on it to "close" it, you could simply go to the app right before that and it effectively does the same thing. Saves you a step right there.

The problem is that multi-tasking exists for specific reasons/apps on Windows Phone 7.5 and the only way to manage that is by using the background tasks options menu.

So there are two questions and solutions here:

1) Can you terminate an app from the task switcher? No.

2) Can you remove a recent application from the task switcher list? Yes
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Thanks for that clarification. I suppose I'll have to play with it once Mango "ships", but right now I'm not sure the task switcher is going to be very useful to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Part of what you said is true, but part isn't. Say I have IE, Messaging, Mail, Settings open in that order. I go back to Messaging & press "back". Now IE, Mail, Settings are in the task switcher. So, it's not "Time Travel" as you put it. You don't loose the other apps you opened after the app you went back to, just the one you pressed "back" on.

This all boils down to the dehydration hack. Apps on the switcher act as if your have the hack enable on pre-mango while those you remove from the switcher get "dehydrated". The setting you mentioned has to do with bg services that allow apps to do stuff in the background. This is similiar to those little icons on your PC's task bar next to the clock such as anti-virus, adobe updater, winamp agent, etc. Stuff running in the background that might do something for the app but isn't necessarily needed. In anti-virus apps, that'd be live protection, which is good but severely impacts performance. The adobe updater checks for updates, close it, no automatic updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Not seeing that option in the phone portion of settings . . .
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Not sure if its carrier dependant or what. I have T-Mobile, and I also have the Visual Voicemail option on my account. Under "phone" settings, right under "Voicemail number", there is an option for me to turn on/off Visual voicemail.

My example was a bit off, my mistake. The rest is still rather unfortunately true, as it stands now, the task switcher is just that, a task switcher. Apps do not run in the background actively, so there is no need to terminate these apps since they aren't really running to begin with, hence you can't really terminate them. The only way for apps to run in the background (or rather, for apps to do things in the background), would be to take advantage of the background tasks feature so that it can do something while not actively open. The only way to manage anything running in the background right now, is with the background tasks setting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I have it too, T-Mobile USA as well.

[Windows Phone 7 General] siukikiki:
I wish I can assign another Windows Live ID for messenger. All my MSN contacts are on my second account, so I can't use the messenger now. I know I can import those MSN contacts to my primary account, but before I can chat with my friends, they have to re-accept my new ID. That's really frustrating!

Hope they add this feature in the final release, let us choose different Live account to use for different service.

After a couple days, I've still got the MSN Money app as the main marketplace homepage. I guess it's not updated in Mango.

As for the wallpaper, I've got the same problem. I've tried various images, from the original claw one I came up with to newer ones, but they all seem 'tiled' now and fuzzy. Not sure if this is a Mango Beta side effect or if Mango will result in the loss of transparent wallpapers. The latter would be a shame as I think it's quite a unique customization compared to other phones.

Yea I used the GPS yesterday.

Unfortunately this isn't a bug. It is operating as designed. See this quote from wmpowersuser.com.

***********************************************

"Long Zheng reports that the voice turn by turn directions in Windows Phone Mango will require a tap at each turn.

This is apparently due to Bing Map data licensing restrictions, presumably inherited from Nokia’s Navteq, who provides the data.

Restrictions on your use: We do have some restrictions on your use of the service. You may not:

…

- present or alert an end user to individual maneuvers of a route in any way that is synchronized with the end-user’s sensor-based position along the route, (e.g. “real-time” navigation);

…

Personally this is not exactly my definition of turn by turn directions, and is hopefully something what will change when Nokia’s navigation apps come aboard. Fortunately there are a number of cheap navigation apps which provide even better features, but hopefully Microsoft can sort this eventually."

You can now play the built in FM radio through the speakers. Even though the headphones must be plugged in, longpress on the playing fm station and you get the option to play through speakers!

You pin more things to the start screen including photo albums and individual mail folders which follow their own sync rules! Neat!

Besides the Native Reg editors on certain phones. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] zappy07:
au contraire

Actually, if you follow the instructions to make a custom ringtone, the "Custom" group will show up in your alarm settings too! Just hit the sound choice and at the top should be the "ringtones" you added.

Instructions in case you don't want to look elsewhere:

Use an editing program to make a song cut down to <39 seconds, <1 MB, and as long as it is DRM free. Go to the Zune program on your computer and edit the song. Change the genre to "Ringtone".

All set!

Finally, I can wake up to some music without leaving an app running all night! :)
