[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
I used some 3M command double sided tape to deal with the sliding issue. It isn't too sticky, and the pull to remove with no residue makes it a non issue for getting it out of the case and off the tablet when needed.

I have multiple msdhc cards, with a 32 in both my phone and tablet, so I don't often need to switch out cards.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I'd recommend cutting a hole out in the case for it. No, wait, I'd recommend something else...

Not using micro SD cards interchangeably. I'm baffled when I read review after review of tablet or phone where the auther comments on how the SD card is buried beneath the battery or the cover for the card slot is awful and will break if used too much. Of course they are like that...SD cards are not meant to be interchangeable. If you really are moving lots of data back and forth, such as watching a ton of movies, fine, stock your tablet with a large card, but use the port that's actually meant for interchangeability: your USB port. Plus, it's much cheaper for a high capacity USB drive than it is an SD card.

And to actually answer your question, weak magnets should be okay, but it really depends on where some of the parts are inside the unit. Try looking around for other cases that are meant for the Acer and see where they put the magnets.

Would you mind putting up a picture or two?
[Acer Iconia A500] dogbots159:
i bought the targus leather case/stand for mine. It's $30 from best buy, but it has 3 angles for the stand and seems well built.I'd always recommend it against the official case.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
okay, so first i tried superglue on the case. as soon as i slid the tablet in, it ripped open again, so that's a no go. i was going to sew it but worried that would just make it weaker or tear worse. so i used the 3m tape idea because i happen to have it laying around. works great! so thanks :) ... still trying to decide what to do about the crappy Velcro. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
Actually, the mic points toward the back of the unit, not the front. Looking at it from the front though, the mic would be a little left of center according to the measurements. So, with that info in hand, looking at that location on the back of the Acer case, there are three little holes, right where the mic is at.

I call mystery solved!
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
under some very close inspection i found a small opening in between the glass and the top bezel that is right behind the mic, not sure if that's what it is for, but it makes sense to me.

i want to know if there is ani easy way to root my widfire with android 2.2.1

Remember though, there's no way to revert back yet, so, if you care for your warranty, don't do it, and, there's no other way to root. For your camera, check your lens cover for scratches. No software will improve your camera quality, atleast by an appreciable amount.

[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
In mail (I use exchange), when I attempt to move an e-mail from my Inbox to another folder, a list of recently used folders pops up. Is there a way to delete or clear that list? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Zanthexter:
Could you give a little more detail?

When I pick an message either open or in the Inbox (long press) and choose "Move", I get a list of all my available folders, pick one, and it moves it there.

Seems to work pretty much as expected/desired?
[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
After you move a couple of messages, a Recently Used folders list appears at the top of your available folders list. I'm looking to clear that list. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
Have you tried clearing the cache in the application -> manage menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
I tried to do that, but Clear Cache is ghosted out. Do you know of another way to clear it? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Barring any other route, if it's that big of a deal to you, you can always remove and readd the account. That should clear the list for you, I'd think.
[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
Thanks... I thought about doing that, but I was looking to avoid it.
[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
Does anyone know how to clear the mail (Exchange) cache? Mine is ghosted out. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] discdoc:
Today, the Clear Cache button became un-ghosted. I cleared it, but that didn't solve my problem. I guess the only way to fix it is to delete and re-add the account. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3LTA9:
Last night I was out and during the night I pulled my desire z out of my pocket to find that the screen was dead, the soft touch buttons were still lit up and working but no display. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot and no luck, you can hear it booting and even unlock/receive calls and txts etc once it has booted up just the screen stays blank the whole time so have to do everything on feel.

Essentially does this just mean my screen has a hardware fault? is it worth trying to fix? I assume the only option would be to purchase a replacement screen and dissemble and reassemble it?

(warranty is not worth it as I live in New Zealand and would have to send my phone back to the UK where I bought it from, also I have dropped it quite a few times so probably voided anyway...)

Thanks in advance for any input
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh4d0w940:
Does it never display anything? So not even a flash during boot or something?

Because then it is probably a hardware problem.

Since the soft touch buttons do still work I think there might be a little crack or something in the flat cable that connects the bottom half with the top.

Maybe you could check whether you can see if the cable is broken or not?

The best thing to do then is to look for a replacement and try to fix it yourself or bring it to a shop where they can do it for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3LTA9:
No it never displays anything, completely dead the whole time. The touch input is still working though as I answered a phone call this morning on it by making the usual gesture just without being able to see anything. Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the cable itself as far as I can see. Yea might have to get someone to have a look at it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eviLutions:
My phone is acting the same. I dropped my phone in the pond before, but pulled battery out on time and had it in rice for a day. My phone was still working for about two weeks after that incident. I dropped it and had one little crack at the top of the screen and about a week after that it died when I had a water balloon fight with the phone in my pocket. D;

Do any of you know if the replacement lcd screen/digitizer for the Desire Z would work for the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyGUN0421:
I had the same thing happening to my G2 screen, only it was intermittently working for a little while, then just completely died and wouldn't work. It was doing this crazy flickering thing then the back light wouldn't go on at all. If I held the phone at a certain angle in the sun, I could see that the pixels were indeed working on the display, but there was no backlight to make them normally visible.

So I purchased a replacement screen from ebay and carefully followed the directions on a youtube video for a G2 take apart. Its not a hard task to take apart and get down to the screen itself. It was rather easy. After putting it back together the screen still didn't work! Sounds work, i can also receive calls etc. But the screen still doesn't work!

Is there any way that this could be a software issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyGUN0421:
Oh and PS, I believe the LCD replacement would work for both the desire Z and the G2. They are identical phones after all right? I'd say its a safe bet. The screen I bought was only 35 bucks. Didn't think that was a bad deal.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StipeP:
Another dead screen or something else?

Few days ago my phone fell of the couch onto a rug - no big deal, so far it has survived much worse, but when I picked it up, the colors were all messed up - overly green and red. Tried restarting - no luck. Everything worked fine, except the colors, but then the screen turned of completely. I could hear notifications, phonecalls, but the screen was dead. After some tapping on the screen, it turned on again - with ****ed up colors. Then started flickering and was gone again. Few more times I could turn it on by tapping before it was dead for good.

Figured, after all these drops it survived, maybe the screen connector is a bit loose. I mean, I could sometime get a contact when tapping it, so I dissasambled it completely, secured all the connection, put it all back tougether and fired up - same thing: dead screen, phone working.

Has anyone had such problem before? Is it screen that is dead, or connector or... I have no clue... I would like try to fix it on my own, with some replacement parts I could get on ebay - but, what gave?

[Windows Phone 7 General] ken52787:
Let's create a list of all the bugs and quirks that are in the Mango beta build. I'll try to edit my post and consolidate what everyone finds.

Phone + Messaging

Call history does not show the duration.

Music

Pressing the search button to bring up Bing while music is playing switches the music to Mono. (Related to Bing Music?)

When playing music and switching to the next song the animation looks broken.

If charing the battery and playing music at the same time, the music will pause when the battery switches to fully charged.

Artist image for music downloaded using smartDJ with Zune Pass is not showing up.

Zune live tile doesn't update playing artist until the app is entered

Web + Email

Snippets for HTML mail is broken. Instead of text in the mail, it shows HTML code

Going back in the browser returns you to the top of the previous page, even if you were scrolled down the page.

Email notification sound is broken sometimes

When opening an attached JPG, the phone flashes an error quick then shows the image

Email server searching doesn't work properly with Gmail accounts

Bing

Bing Vision stops scanning after reading several items. Starts again after reopening the app.

Misc

16-bit banding issue on certain phones (reports of Optimus, Surround, Mozart, HD7)

If you are on alarm screen and then switch the screen off, the lock screen flickers next time you turn the screen on. I have seen this happen with many apps which have black dominated screen

In Greek, showing all characters as capitalized doesn't make sense

Animated live tiles sometimes show white edges while scrolling
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gahgah:

[Windows Phone 7 General] arkavat:

[Windows Phone 7 General] A Dustman:
If you're on a webpage with multiple links, and you select one that require you to scroll down, after viewing that link, and going back to the main page, you will be at the top and have to scroll back down again.

Call History Sucks

The call history in the mango has great defect,

it doesn't show the duration or the time!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ViEL:
i have my contacts with Greek characters! when i open a profile at the top the name of the contact apears with capital letters which are messed up in Greek language
[Windows Phone 7 General] cj_133:
16 bit banding has shown up on my LG Optimus 7, never had this before installing Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Not a bug: On my current NoDo'd DVP call duration has never shown. Time the call was made or came in shows, but not actual length/duration of the call.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Lidanh:
New email notification sound issue still exists. 50% of the emails received sounds broken.

This bug was already known in previous versions of WP7, I'm disappointing they didn't fix it yet.

p.s

I own HD7 device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Nothing to add to the list, but a suggestion to change the tile to "Mango Beta2 Bugs" or something to that nature. This way, when the official mango comes, there won't be any confusion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Isnt this a beta build meant for developers to build applications with? Whats the point compiling a list of bugs that likely wont exist when it goes final?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwzg:
I don't think this is a bad idea. Heck, someone important might look at it.

1) Color banding on the Surround. I thought 32 bit color was supposed to be enabled in Mango, but I guess not.

2) Angry Birds is so choppy, I don't even like playing it. Of course, the colors are washed out too.

Of course I know this "feature" isn't yet included, but please MS, let me block certain "friends" from my feed. Some of them have nothing better to do but play frikkin games all day.
[Windows Phone 7 General] taruian:
Still 16 bit banding exist on my htc mozart even after updating to mango :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
Just hide their posts on facebook.com and refresh your people feed. They'll disappear.

Seems like game spam would be annoying regardless of where it was.. may as well kill the source :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shahab2500:
Color banding in my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmian:
I've noticed color banding only in the benchmark app which is weird, maybe 3rd party apps need to implement 32 bit colors on their own?

Also Bing Vision stops working after a few attempts if you try to scan a few different things, it just refuses to take scan altogether, and the only way to fix it, is to exit the app and come back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] silvertonesx24:
When opening an jpg image attachment in an email, a notification displays "cannot open an attachment of this type" but it quickly opens anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Edges of Tiles rendering - see sometimes when scrolling slowly the edges of the tiles will be white, then render correctly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
They still haven't fixed the bug that if you're charging the phone, and its connected to your home network, but your sync PC is off, it'll still try to sync with that PC even with no connection found...

Also, they haven't fixed the comma on a misspelled word duplicating that word... It happens to me sometimes, both NoDo and Mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] bhogal:
I've noticed that on my HD7 the apps list is divided into alphabetical subsections but on my Omnia7 it is still as it was in NoDo !!

The mango build is the ofcourse the same on both
[Windows Phone 7 General] boredtoday:
the clock, the date, all the overlay text on the lockscreen have a small delay when turning the screen on.

omnia 7, 7712
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
If you have quite a long list of live tiles, if you flick slowly and let them scroll by, pressing the Back button makes them jerk all over the place. (i.e. the Back button doesn't kill inertia.)

Same here, HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
I think the delayed date and time is a feature as it "fades in" now and in the previous mango build it just poppued up slightly later without a fading. Hate it or love it.

I still can not get my head around bing vision, the scan text just seems so gimmicky that I have no idea why its even there. Its very slow, to open and exit. Autofocussing does not work most of the times (although this could be a samsung thing) making it trying to analyse blurry pictures or it just keeps on trying to focus without actually focussing. And if Im making a clear picture the translation does not make sense most of the time because it misreads words. It might be "usefull" for roadsigns, for books or an alinea of text its rather useless. However the barcode scanning etc works fine.

The music analysis, works OK, can be a lot better. I still think Shazam is more acurate actually. And there is no offline mode (what if you are on the road or in a disco with no service, you want to record the song and look up what it is when you get out). Its all a bit limited and I actually hoped they continued the development on this, but it seems rather final.

The Maps app still does not use the compass. Why is it a requirement to have a phone with a compass than? I really hope google will come up with a replacement.

IE9 still has weird ways of rendering some webpages, youtube webpage for example. (The full page)

On the other hand. Its looking really solid now. And feels speedy. And the best thing is support for all the new API's, now the cool apps like skype etc. and better IM's will hopefully follow to make it a complete platform
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
MMS (pictures) has been a feature from the start, and they implemented sending of videos with mango. Just only for email, facebook, skydrive ect. Why they left out the ability to send via the MMS is kind of odd ;p
[Windows Phone 7 General] DeathFry:
Has anyone mentioned the Twitter integration issue on 7712?

Mine has been "Setting up your account" for over 12 hours :S

I am using a Focus, but I think it's not limited to this device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
Saw this thread after I started a new one. But, I can't reply to any email. I hit the reply, reply all, or forward and nothing happens. It just sits on the body of the email. I'm not sure what the problem is or if it's just me.

HA!! Figured it out. I have a custom black accent, and for some reason, that one accent won't allow me to reply to emails. WEIRD!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jojoblow4525:
Ringtone option

What about the save as ringtone option? Don't see that in this build.:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] DrHankZ:
It Appears a lot of things are missing

No Voice Options for e-mail as an example

I don't see much change from MangoB2 version 7661
[Windows Phone 7 General] DominikZ:
Has anyone noticed, that for some people you do not see their FB status updates - as well as their photos?

But you can see their wall posts,(e.g. somebody posts on their wall), and of course their profile pictures. Using the Facebook App everything works fine. So it's definitely no settings issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Endeavour1934:
If one of your friends activates the "use HTTPS connection" option in Facebook, you can't see him or his posts at all, even in the contact list.

But you can see him perfectly in the Facebook standalone app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N3croman:
Issues

What I don't like in Mango 7712:

- the fade in animation when turning on the phone - come on, why is that here?

- new icon "show my location" in maps - it's ugly

- still no possibility to hide address bar in IE9 in horizontal position

- my favorite ringtone disappeared! It was called 'Rusty' or something like that and it's no longer here :(

- no advanced features like Local Scout, Bing Vision, Bing Audio, etc. for Czech users, only Marketplace

- calendar syncing of old event does not work - strange bug, I was forced to do hard reset after installing Mango beta 2 and then when I attached my Gmail account in phone not all events in calendar were synced, to be more precise I don't see any old events from my Google calendar in my phone? Why it's not syncing old event to the phone, I want' to know where I was and when. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] silvertonesx24:
Zune Pass bug

Music downloaded with Zune Pass to the phone randomly stops playing at the end of songs. It gets stuck on the last second of the song and will not play anything more unless the phone is reset. Very, very annoying. Some artists last several songs before lockup, some lock up every song, but inevitably the music will stop playing.

This only applies to music downloaded with Zune Pass. Music synced to the device and streaming music work fine.

HD7, Tmobile, 7712
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
Not just Zune Pass music for me, sadly - I have this problem with songs I've synced. It's not always the same songs either; it seems to be pretty much random. I don't think I've managed a 45-minute commute without at least one restart. This is my biggest problem with Mango. I love the Zune player when it's working; it's beautiful and functional. But this crashing, plus MASSIVE gaps in between songs, make actually listening to music quite unenjoyable. :(

I don't really know how to put my finger on it exactly but it seems like playing music is really taxing for wp7. Broken animations while skipping songs by swiping, and general sluggishness of playing music, it's definitely a weak point, and one of the very few things that make me miss iOS even a tiny little bit.

HD7 o2 7712
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
You miss a finished ios vs a beta wp7?

People, let's remember the title of this thread: "Mango

BETA

2 Bugs".

Considering how well the previous/current version of the OS worked let's have a little faith that Microsoft will put out a fairly bugless OS. Especially, in one of its bread and butter hubs.... Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
All of the above Zune issues were present in Nodo, thanks. You're reacting to my words but not my meaning. Of course it is silly to compare a beta OS to a "finished" OS. But this is digression :)

I have plenty of faith - but at the moment it's just faith, i.e. nothing to back it up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
I have no issues with the latest beta 7712. no lags when turning phone on. there is a split second (barely noticeable) delay in the clock (so what? sheesh).

Bing vision works very well here. I just scanned a few bar codes and text and 95% of the text was correct, even in fairly dim light.

music recognition works better as well (Laurie Anderson - Beginning of memory, Chemical Brothers - Hannas Theme, Richard Barbieri - Decay, Bill Frisell - Sixty Four, Porcupine Tree - Sleep Together). These are not just ordinary songs and it recognized the songs within a few seconds. I am actually pretty amazed about it.

Many of the issues reported here seem to be device related and I think people need to stop generalizing too quickly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
I can say my experience is different. I'm on NoDo still and any music I've DL'd from the market plays just fine. Whole songs and what not. Never had a single issue. Now, what I can't comment on is music sync'd from my computer. I can say that videos I have sync'd play flawlessly. So, not sure if your issue is phone specific or what?
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
Check the message setting and turn off the group text option, which it use MMS format to send group text to keep those msg in group threaded view. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N3croman:
CAlendar bug

This is very annoying bug in WP7 calendar sync - only last two weeks are synced, there is now way how to dowload older events from your calendar to mobile phone!

(Google for: The Windows Phone 7 calendar only stores 2 weeks of past appointments) :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] naatten:
That is very true!! call history doesnt..
[Windows Phone 7 General] DominikZ:
So that's whats causing the problem. I hope this will be fixed sooner or later. Otherwise the FB integration will become useless once everybody uses HTTPS...:(
