[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
If you've played with WP7 enough, you'll find that the live tiles really preclude you from needing to actually launch the associated apps unnecessarily. Because of this, the commenter was calling the other Mobile OS versions more of an "app launcher" because, in general, you need to launch the app to interact with it. (Google has widgets, but those widgets aren't quite the same.) With WP7, you can glance-and-go (one of the tenants that MS imparted into the Metro design) and only launch apps when there is a required interaction. It really is a different approach, and one that I think works very well.
[HTC 7 Pro] mendoza1:
Please give some comparison for WP7 and other mobile OS (mOS).

As hard as I try, and I do like to play around with WP7, I just can't find anything that makes WP7 better than other mOS.

Eg. When email or SMS arrive, on WP7s homescreen shows a count of these items, and on the other hand, Symbian do just the same. So, where is the difference?

So far, the only thing that is obviously better are things-apps that have something to do with the internet (Windows Live, Email, Internet Explorer, Youtube) or with the 1GHz processor (apps do work better with stronger processor, so by having stronger processor apps work better and it isn't because of WP7).
[HTC 7 Pro] Avvmo:
you sound like you're determined to be underwhelmed by wp7. yes, when you get an SMS, the homescreen tells you that you have one....that's what phones do. What more is there for a phone to do with an sms?

WP7 is highly innovative from a UI standpoint. What you seem to be interested in, however, is the menu-heavy micromanaging style of old school winmo. If you want to be able to micromanage every last little thing about your phone go to a different platform. WP7 does everything it is purported to do, if you are not getting what you wanted, then you didn't do your homework before you dropped god-knows-how-much on a phone. these days, it's not about which platform is better, it's about preference. It's getting to the point where every platform can do all the really important things really well. so how do you want your phone to look? that's what you're buying.
[HTC 7 Pro] mendoza1:
Don't get me wrong, but what you are saying is what I've been saying. That is, WP7 as any other mOS is not new in functionality but it is different in GUI. Other qualities are not available to be seen, since there are no apps which can show it.

For now, WP7, only offers basic features.

I have been wondering the same thing since the 1 st rumors of windows phone 7 but still a no go. Its ironic ms stripped away so many of the things that made wm only to get beat out by the former clone of themselves....android. I love the form the tp2 & wish they wouldve released an hd2 with a keyboard. They shouldve stripped the name windows,hired a special team that managed themes system wide so that u have eye candy without it being resource heavy & hired a marketing team that would make apple & google have nightmares.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
that's what they are doing with the mango update that's near release and the beta is already out and I find that im able to do just as much if not more than WM6.5 and android (former TP2 owner and loved it, had an EVO **** for a week and hated it).
[HTC 7 Pro] Groby:
Hi,

I followed eric12341's suggestion and have the mango-beta installed (and have buyed a developer account, to make side-loads possible). And some things were better (slow was it not before -hey, it have a 1GHz CPU, it HAVE to be fast :-) ), but there are so many things which waste time. If I want to have a (exact) look of charging, I have to go through some menue-points. As I often in transit by railways, I have to set date several times, and the WM-calendar (and to set the time) is MUCH more effective, as I didnt't have to use the annoying slider-gadgets. Maybe it looks nice, but it waste much time. Before it was just 3 tips, no it's an orgy -the possebility to change the style would be great! And local database for apps -to find the connecting-train while you have no network (and EVERY thing have to be found over network when you want to set start and target of you travel, because of the impossebillity of local databases) is a horror! Before: 10 seconds, now 3 minutes -or longer, as often there is no network in the train. :-(

And unfortunately many very good (sideload)-apps will not longer work after mango. And when I can make a backup from my data, if I want to upgrade memory, or have to change it (because of defectivs, i.e.). And not all of my friend have Zune installed, but they have good music, pdf's or anything else for me. The next thing I was wondering: why I can only set my own ringtons for calling? What'a about SMS, email, and so on?? ^^

Sorry for the bad english -hope it was not to hard to read. :-(
[HTC 7 Pro] mendoza1:
Groby, thanks for the info. I was looking for some info about Mango.

Navigating via online updating is absolutely annoying. It takes for ever to download map, and there are no detailed maps, but only hi-ways and few byways.

I looks like this operating system is way out from it's time, for about good year or so.

If developers could make downgrade to WM 6.x, it would make this phone a dream.

[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
not yet, still closer to the beginning. Just figured I 'd start there and work back.

This is my first time compiling anything since 1994, so it is a major learning process.

I started a attempt at a port of this for the evo shift again for the second time awhile back and was able to get to the compiling of the framework where it crapped out on me again for the camera lol. Before that happened I was able to get passed some simple overlay issues with the device easily. It's just the framework that was was being a pain for the camera.

[Palm Treo 750] Bridges:
Hello everyone, I know this is not a new issue here but I have posted here before in order to get a solution and nothing worked.

Here is the issue:

I got a treo 750 from the us, cingular. It came with WM 6 I think and I followed a guide from here and upgraded it to 6.1. Than I saw a custom rom and installed (didnt notice it was only for htc) and than my treo got stuck on the three colour screen. I than tried palm recovery tool (not succeeded), flahshed the origininal rom and others by cable connection (not succeedded again) and now, almost a year later I am trying to flash the original rom using a mini sd card formatted with fat 32 and with the original cheeimg inside.

The problem is that I have no clue on how to start the installation. I do reset, the screen stays black, I do a hard reset and the screen asks if I want to delete everything and if I select yes or no, the screen goes back to black. I pressed reset plus media button and I get the three colour screen. Now I am trying commands using mtty, since I am using vista in my only pc, I installed windows xp mode on seven and I am using a virtual xp with active sync. I disabled usb connection on activesync and still it does not show usb option to connect with mtty.

Any tips? :(

[Thunderbolt General] docabe:

What a joke.

I seen no difference with the update, except the addition of more bloatware, and the removal of free WIFI hot-spot.

My battery appears to drain quicker. But no re-boot yet.

If you don't need it, don't update until the free hot-spot is blocked.

[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
Okay I've never read such a weird explanation on any thread in this forum.

Btw, I recently flashed InDroid 4.3. Less than a week ago.

My phone was running perfectly, but my google account linked with my phone was not what I wanted it to be. So I added another account and my phone said that to delete my previous account I had to do a factory reset.

So I deleted my older backup that I had created using Titanium Backup (when I was using stock ROM) and I created a new backup.

So I held down the power button and tried to get into recovery. But my phone just got stuck at the "samsung i5801" screen. I let it be for 10-15 minutes but it won't go beyond that. So I re-inserted the battery, and tried to get into recovery again. Didn't work.

Then I tried to just start my phone in normal mode, but still it just got stuck at the i5801 screen. I removed the sim card, SD card and tried, still stuck at the same screen.

Then I tried to get into downloading mode, which (thank god) worked.

Now I know the logical thing to do is just to flash a new ROM but my questions are :

a- WTF happened?!??!?!?!

b- since I can't get into recovery or normal mode, how do I reset factory settings / clear cache? And if I don't do all that, will flashing be successful? and safe?

btw, I'd like to continue with InDroid until Kyrillos 6.0 is perfectly stable.
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
-That happens frequently with indroid.. main cause could be the filesystems..

-flash kyrillos v6 its pretty much stable..

-Once you flash a new rom you'll be able to boot into recovery..

-Remove sdcard while flashing once done insert sdcard and wipe data n cache from recovery..

I been toying with this a while, i had same issue, only way i've come close is to use root explorer and in the data/ data folder replace all the current folders but "Lib" and after that the game loads without crashing, all levels show and work. heres the ***** part. If you close the game instead of hitting home button or reboot the phone you start exactlywhere your save left off. any new levels you did arent saved. i'm still tinkering, hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] mapester:
I've got the same problem too , i backed up my save which was on CM7 Nightly b4 i full wiped and installed Miui 1.7.8, Ive tried copy the files via Adb shell and RootExplorer and in both cases it recognise's the 244 stars i have backed up, But refuses to save any progress thats made after that point.

Ive tried changing the file permissions to R/W incase its read only causing the problems and all that does is the nxt time i launch CutTheRope it pops up a Force Close box.

Edit //

if found this via google search http://android.modaco.com/topic/342768-copy-cut-the-rope-game-progress-from-free-to-paid-requires-adb-and-root/page__p__1747484#entry1747484 , which is copy free to paid save games..

ive done these steps and seems to save atm

i copied the database folder and the shared_prefs folder to /data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/

then i did 2 commands via adb including the app_id i located from the linked post my app_id was 044 your will more than likely not be the same as mine.

adb shell chown 10044:10044 /data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/shared_prefs/

and

adb shell chown 10044:10044 /data/data/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/databases/*

and ive set R/w permissions to user read / write / execute , group to read / write and execute and Other to just execute

I got this working on version 1.1.1.

The path of the savegame file seems to be different. Here are the steps I followed:

Open game and complete at least one level

Check the app number (mine was 10146)

ls -l /dbdata/databases/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/shared_prefs/CtrAppPaid.xml

Copy your former file (can be either paid or free version)

cp /path.to.file/CtrAppPaid.xml /dbdata/databases/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/shared_prefs/CtrAppPaid.xml

Now set the permissions (use app number from point 1)

chown 10146:10146 /dbdata/databases/com.zeptolab.ctr.paid/shared_prefs/CtrAppPaid.xml

Open the game and you should have all your levels from the previous savegame

I actually did all the steps on the phone with Terminal Emulator.
[General Questions and Answers] escaper215:
First of all, thanks for your solution.

But there is no "CtrAppPaid.xml" in the previous version of Cut The Rope. I've found only a file called "com.rainman.cuttherope_preferences.xml" in the dbdata/databases/com.rainman.cutherope/shared_prefs folder. Unfortunately your method did not work with this file. Can you give me any advice?

Got my Sensation yesterday and after the 1st full charge I'm barely getting 6-7 hours with 2:30 screen on time which is far worse than I was getting with my DHD so I thought I'd see if I could work out what's causing it and it looks like HTC Watch may be the culprit. (see grabs below)

I used it for about 5 minutes this-morning and looks like it's been running ever since. I've now forced stopped it and removed the watch account to see if I get any improvement. Might be worth others checking if they are too getting poor battery life.

[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
I always have them on as I'm connected to WiFi at home and Bluetooth uses virtually no extra power in measurements I've done with the DHD. Perhaps it's more with the Sensation.

I am running with temp root so can freeze watch but for now it doesn't seem to have started again since I force stopped it in app management.

It's too early to tell if I've got improved battery life now but will see how it goes in the next cycle.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Well things have improved massively after keeping Watch closed.

Today I got 12 hours life with 3 hours screen time and that was mostly in bright sunshine so full screen brightness and mostly mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.

The stats show that virtually nothing was keeping the phone awake this time and I was averaging about 2% drop/hour with screen off.

This life is now very similar to my DHD running a custom rom so I'm very happy and no doubt once we get proper root on the Sensation we'll star to see even better results :D

[HTC Sensation] cristy7610:
also i have this problem with MAPS and i close from settings but after that is starting again...how can i close this to stop running in background? another thread that i readed at htc evo forum sound like this ( press HOME, and bring up the dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (Do not press "Call"). After a second, it should bring up the "Testing" menu.

Go into Phone Information, press MENU, and tap "select radio band." You should experience a Force Close, don't panic, this was supposed to happen. Scrolling down shows that the preferred network type is GSM auto (prl).

What this means is that even though you are connected to a CDMA network, your phone is trying to find a GSM network, preventing the radio from sleeping, and causing excessive battery drain.

Remedy this by tapping GSM auto (prl), and changing it to CDMA auto (prl).

Now your done, your TWS should drop dramatically, and you should experience much better battery life!

i try this and in my menu is selected WCDMA and when i select CDMA auto (prl) the signal drop and and going back to WCDMA..maybe this procedure has alot of in consumption the battery....
