thanks, will check it out later today and comment.

cheers

just got a chance to look at it. Overall great, a little rough. Under 'most read' some news do not show images and there is just an empty spot. looks odd with just the text box. maybe a default image of a newspaper?

when I scroll to the second page of 'most read' it seems to have a different background, a flight map that shows LA?

when I continue to scroll into feeds, the first background comes back but with a semitransparent edge. The swirl of the edge is not smooth and looks broken when it scrolls over.

when entering any of the news or feeds the the menu bar at bottom doesn't appear smoothly and sticks instead of hiding.

when I am in one Feed, e.g. 'world' would be nice to swipe left and get into the next feed in the feed list instead of going back to it.

when I close the app and reopen it, I am greeted with the splash screen and then for a few seconds a black page with only the green strips at the left and two white dots top right (where the refresh and setting button show up) and 'feeds' label. it then moves to home. It doesn't matter from where I leave the program it always comes back to this.

looks good so far

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback didn't see it before I published the new version today but will work on these for the next beta build.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated

live tile is updating very often and its cool, app works fluent and looks nice.

Well made app overall.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] derausgewanderte:
I like it a lot :).

1) I still would like to see sideways slide in the feeds section, just like on the main page. Coming from the main page and sliding horizontally to next page, I intuitively try the same in the feed section just to remind myself that I have to go back first before I can go to the next feed.

2) I know I am picky. the live tile doesn't look right. the text is not centered correctly, it does odd line breaks and lines up with right side (no space between letters and edge of tile) . the background in the top part should be either them color or just white. the white/red stuff towards the right of the images is distracting. The news image is not centered in the top tile, leaving unequal white edges around it. Would be cool to have the live tile flip horizontal once in a while to accent it.

How about top half image fills tile completely, bottom half tile uses theme color.

otherwise great for a German living in the US (No Tagesschau or Spiegel yet)

thank you

Just downloaded 2.65 xap. Will give you some feedbacks soon. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zard:
Great piece of work. Running on Mango 7720, works fine. The only feedback I have is the way "Latest" news was implemented. The "white" color fonts on top of the "BBC" background makes the "Latest" news very difficult to read. If the background of the "Latest" news is not translucent, that would probably help.

BTW, is there breaking news like the non-mango version, although this doesn't seem to be working since I upgraded to Mango 7720 or was it a few days before I tested 2.65 xap.
[Galaxy S II General] spud_work:
Hi All :-)

I've got the samsung e-mail app set up for my exchange active sync account and everything is working as it should. However, I have noticed that if you open the samsung e-mail application from a shortcut it says refreshing at the bottom of the screen but no mail is actually transferred until you go to menu and select refresh. It then says refreshing at the bottom of the screen and your new mail is downloaded.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there any way to fix this so that the mail will start downloading when you open the app (or knows what the app is doing when it says 'refreshing' and it isn't actually doing anything?)

Many thanks

Spud

PS apologies for the typo in the message header!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Mine doesn't even load even if I refresh it manually and that damn circle keeps circling!!! (Not always, but many times)
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Op, the refreshing on start up is synching up your screen view with the little mail database on the phone (that is in turn updated by android auto sync process if auto sync is enabled).

The refresh in the menu is actually going to servers to grab new mail.

This is great. I know I'm a few months behind, but still. I downloaded it, and would agree that youtube is super smooth. I was not able to get Hulu to work, but I'm not worried about it (just thought I'd try since I saw it mentioned above).

However -

in a Quadrant Standard test, before installing Flash, I ranked consistently above 1100. Install flash, and my score drops to between 950 and 970. Uninstalled flash, and my score was 1131.

EDIT: I'm running the XM-8 VR 1.3 rom with some overclocking... :)

I bought a used EVO off eBay works fine but I was just wondering if it gets lost or damaged or anything, will Sprint replace it? Don't know if I have insurance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonzbabysh:
If you have insurance, any phone you have connected to your number automatically is covered. lets say If you bought a used evo and it was all messed up but you were able to activate it on your line, then you can walk right into sprint for repair.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Sprint doesn't handle insurance, that's done through Asurion.

Look on your bill and see if you are paying 7 dollars a month for TEP. If not, call sprint and see if you can add it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgomez720:
If you have TEP, Sprint had no issues replacing the device so long as the device has been active for 30 days and has the TEP. other wise its insurance fraud.. Just fyi.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boi2gangsta:
thanks guys, I just added it for my evo. I was wondering if I bring it to the sprint store, will they fix/replace/repair the light leakage on my phone? And vibrating motor is kinda worn out.

Also would they rollback the firmware?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If the phone is less than one year old (from the first activation date) then its still under warranty, and they should fix it. If its past a year, you will have to pay 100 dollar deductible through asurion.

No, as discussed MANY MANY MANY times, sprint cannot rollback firmware from 2.3.

[Thunderbolt General] setexascustoms:
I don't think it will be hard for any of the talented developers we have here to root the OTA ROM. Obtaining S-Off after accepting the update might be another matter, and accepting the update on a rooted but otherwise stock TBolt might break root. But as long as you've rooted before the GB update I'm sure we'll be fine. It's the poor suckers who haven't rooted waiting for the update, and once it comes decide they want to root that I feel sorry for. :D
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
don't install the OTA until it's cracked by the devs, simple as that. i give it a day or two and it would be rooted. they never close all the root exploits.
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
As said, the BootLoader and rooting the OS are two different things..

That being said... I expect the DEV's to root upcoming GB updates... After all, chingy51o just created Gingeritis v1.2 from a new "non-test" GB rom... and its rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] Morkai Almandragon:
Building a rom that has root access is not the same thing as gaining root access on an existing installation.

Its not really the same thing, but think about having admin rights on a machine with windows already installed, verses installing it yourself. If someone else has secured the machine, getting admin could be quite hard (stfu peanut gallery, I know that's only in theory).

If you install from scratch though, you just have to tell it to make you admin:)

What this means though, is with source, bootloader is everything. They can lock the rom down three ways from sunday, but if devs have source, and an open bootloader, we can install WTF ever we want on the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Boss428man:
Its silly that they are so quiet with updates its not like they are launching a spy satellite but anyway. Phase 2 out of how many phases? Just curious what their proper procedure is.
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
I understand the analogy of admin rights on windows already vs a regular user trying to get admin rights after the fact.

I'm not a developer, nor do I know the first thing about creating a "custom rom"... so my thought is... Chingy51o used a "GB leak that is newer than the last" as the base to create Gingeritis v1.2 which is rooted.... How much harder can it be for the DEV's to put out an already rooted/busyboxed version of that GB ROM Chingy used as the base?

And if that is possible... then the S-Off/Root processes (where you flash to older rom first to exploit...) could be used by those who took the upgrade... and flash the already rooted ROM, no?
[Thunderbolt General] setexascustoms:
You might not be able to downgrade once you accept the update, this happened on the Incredible. They had rooted 2.1 on the Incredible,then there was an OTA (still 2.1) which required you to downgrade to root, similar to what we're doing now. When Froyo came out, of you accepted the OTA there was no way to downgrade and root. We (I personally) had to wait for them (the unrevoked team) to crack froyo to gain root access. I would suggest you root now, then wait for someone to release a rooted version of the OTA. Just my experience in the matter. :D
[Thunderbolt General] plambda:
Why not flash an older RUU that has the known exploit?

sent from my bolt
[Thunderbolt General] setexascustoms:
I'm not saying you won't be able to after the GB OTA on the Thunderbolt, but on the Incredible after the Froyo OTA you could not flash an older RUU. That's my knowledge on the subject. :D
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
Sorry, my memory on each phone and their specific quirks is fuzzy (between the D1, X, INC and TB, and add in the NookColor and Xoom, and I sometimes have troubles remembering)

But I do remember a friend had sent me his Inc for my then fiance (now wife)... he didn't S-OFF, took an update and lost root... So when I got it, I had to jump through a few hoops to get her's S-OFF and rooted as the Unrevoked tools didn't work on that version yet.

Are you thinking that the Dev's wont be able to pack a pre-rooted/busybox'd/SU version for those with S-OFF and root already?
[Thunderbolt General] setexascustoms:
I think they absolutely will be able to, in fact I almost know so. I'm simply not sure how easy it will be to obtain s-off after accepting the update. I could be wrong, it's happened before, I think it was on a Tuesday... ;)

Edit: In other words, I think it would be wise to obtain s-off while on 2.2 then wait for one of our wonderful developers to provide a rooted version.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
It seems HTC's 2.3.4 Gingerbread builds are quite secure. I guess all builds of it are, not just HTC's. I have just noticed a trend with HTC's builds being rather difficult to obtain even temp root.

Contrary to what some people may say, they'll know when everyone else knows.
[Thunderbolt General] allquixotic:
Yep. A leaked authentic memo might help, but even then, internal product deadlines can and very often do slip. I'm willing to bet that they were planning to have GB for Tbolt out much sooner than the reality of the situation. You can tell that the software end of this device has been one disaster after another: it took them forever and a day to get My Verizon supported on the Tbolt, and Netflix still isn't officially supported.

For my part, my guess is that it's going to be even later than September. We might conceivably see it in 2011, but my gut feeling is Q1 2012 at the earliest. I was on a mobile development team for an undisclosed mobile operating system vendor several years ago. Our project deadline slipped eight times, for a grand total delay of two years, 8 months and some weeks. And when we finally did get the product out the door, it was significantly de-scoped (less ambitious feature set) to reduce the development time even further than the original scope. If we had continued down the original development path, it might have easily slipped the deadline beyond three and a half years.

Granted, Verizon and HTC aren't writing a whole operating system from scratch here; they are building a distribution on top of Android AOSP 2.3.4. But there is very significant custom code (non-Google code) going into this project, both in terms of device-specific hardware support, and applications. Don't forget that HTC has to maintain Sense in-house, and Verizon has to approve of the whole package before pushing it out to customers. So if Verizon's people don't like some work that HTC developers did, they have to go through another build-test-evaluate cycle, which I estimate takes one or two weeks.

Mobiles are unusually difficult to test on, even when you have a fully unlocked reference platform. And some tests (e.g. security) might require using a locked down phone, which means you might brick the phone or have to re-flash it many times while testing it. The way mobile development is working these days, the only guarantee about development time and cost is that both factors are completely unpredictable and uncontrollable. Successful development teams manage to get functional products out with only a few weeks of unanticipated delay. Average or unsuccessful ones slip months or years, sometimes never delivering a usable final product.

That's why I think September is a gross overestimate of what HTC and Verizon are really capable of. My random guess is going to be December 10, 2011. My birthday. :)

i buy apps from zune but they don't appear in app list,what should i do?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Just a thought.. Did you buy games and then look for them in the regular app list instead of the XBox live hub?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
If you bought apps through Zune on your PC, then your phone will eventually download them automatically. Sometimes this can take up to an hour. You could try plugging your computer in and sync'ing them manually, and that should force your phone to download the apps immediately.

You could also just search up the app on the Marketplace and start a manual download of it. It will recognize that you have already paid for it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogermorse:
Hello. By searching it I find topics 5 years old, I couldn't find any solution.

I can read my network shares through file browser. I can play any videos by using mobo player, vplayer or rockplayer. I have noticed that 720p videos are very heavy, they are not smooth when software decoding, but they are smooth enough when hardware decoding with rockplayer : there will be no audio though.

- I have videos 720p on my desktop pc (mkv)

- I have a working wifi network with sharing

- I have a desire hd with enough video players and file explorers

What I want to do:

Over wifi, stream the videos on the phone without having the need to save other files. I was able to reproduce the videos WITHOUT waiting the download on the phone (stream), but they weren't smooth.

I guess 720p is too heavy for the desire hd?

So the questions would actually be:

1 - is there a way to stream the videos from the desktop pc hard drive with a quality INFERIOR to 720p ? Like a 'bitrate downgrade' on the fly, similar to what you would do on youtube by choosing the resolution you want for the selected video.

2 - Second solution (I may sound funny but I am not too expert in these things): is there a way to use the phone as a remote screen, that means the phone DOESN'T process the video. All the work would be done by the PC cpu which can run 720p just fine. The phone would just be a video output over the wifi, making the video pretty much smooth. Of course with enough buffer to get the video ready to go to the phone. Just like you can use the phone as a wifi camera, maybe you can use it as a wifi screen ?

Desire HD root, s-off, rcmixhd rom (sense)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogermorse:
VLC direct fixed everything for me. Can browse the whole pc, stream 720p with lower bitrate (extremely smooth and still sharp picture for a 4.3 display).

After rooting my Thunderbolt I'm having the random reboot issue. I've read several threads using google, but none really specify a fix. I haven't done anything to the phone since rooting it, so my radio/rom are still the same. Phone rebooted three times yesterday during casual usage.

Any ideas?

Seems like we found the problem to your reboots. Flash the newest radio.

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1240-RADIO-LEAK-New-MR2-Release-Radio-1.39.00.0627r

Be sure your rom supports the radio most new gb bamf and CM7 mr2 version support the radio. Flash rom in recovery then radio. The radio can not be flashed in recovery. Using adb type in adb reboot bootloader and go into fastboot and install it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Ah, I see. Is this the "MR2" radio? And, is it only the new OTA update that will brick your phone if you flash it over a rooted phone?

I've been looking through roms trying to find the closest thing to what I have now. When I make up my mind I'll flash a new rom and then upgrade the radio.

I'll post my results.

Thank you for your help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Do you want to froyo (android 2.2) or gingerbread (2.3)? The new radio i linked doesn't brick phones. Its an official radio not a leaked radio which caused the bricks a while back.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
I've had trouble deciding. Part of me wants to stick to Froyo because I'm not sure what Gingerbread really does. Are there any glaring differences that make it worth upgrading to GB?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
GB offers more eye candy and bragging rights to say you're rocking the latest android OS. Otherwise, no real benefits over froyo. Some ppl say froyo roms have slightly better battery life, but that is debatable.

Bricks are result of user error or hardware. Period. You will not brick from flashing a radio unless you screw it up.

Dont flash the whole ota update. Most developers will include the update into there custom rom minus the radio. The latest ota mainly addressed the reboot issue and horrible battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Will do.

I appreciate everyone's input. I will probably flash in the next day or so.

I'll follow up with how things turn out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Flashed the new BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 last night along with the new radio that was recommended. So far so good. No random reboots although I haven't been in a spot in town where the radio alternates between 3G/4G yet like before. I'll be able to fully test at that point.

Sweet ROM so far!
