[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
In general, I tend to agree with this, but I would clarify that all hardware buttons should be consistent, and even on Mango, they are not. If you want to say that the search button should perform the same function regardless of context, then I would argue that the back button should be the same. Unfortunately, it is not.

In IE, it behaves like the on-screen back button in the desktop version of the browser. In some other apps, it backs you through the long series of screens that you have accessed in the app, even if there is no logic to that series of screens. For example, I've seen many apps where it even "backs you out" through setup and option screens, and others where it "backs you out" through documents that you have already deleted from your phone. And in other apps, it does what I would expect it to, which is exit the app. It is wildly inconsistent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
The inconsistency of the back button is actually one of the biggest issues on Android, and unfortunately it looks like Microsoft haven't learnt from their mistakes.

Here's a fairly normal Android situation; a user is running an app, and navigates deep into some sub-page. There are no onscreen controls, the only way back to the main screen is by pressing the hardware "back" button.

The user then exists this app using the "Home" key, and then switches back to it. What should the back key do now? On Android it will often close the program and go back to the home-screen - which means it's possible for a user to become stuck in a certain part of an app, with no way back without killing it.

Unfortunately I'm already seeing alot of Windows Phone apps and games that rely on the "Back" button in this way. At the moment it's not possible to replicate the above behaviour because I have no apps that are able to resume when you switch back to them, but once Mango is out...should be interesting..
[Windows Phone 7 General] NotTarts:
I've never thought of the back button as a literal 'exit the app' button, but rather a button that undoes your last action (which makes more sense to me). If you just launched an app, it'll close that app. If you clicked to a different screen/link, it'll take you back to what you had open before. In this sense, it's perfectly consistent across the entire OS; it just doesn't work in many situations.

I do agree that there are issues, though. Ideally, the back button should be used specifically for navigation inside the app. You could argue that this would cause problems when an app opens another app or IE, but multitasking solves this (instead of relying on the back button to get back the original application, you'd be able to just open the multitasking menu instead).
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The problem is, it isn't consistently used the same way across apps. And in a couple of the examples I cited, it makes no sense at all the way it is being used.

Besides, in all of the demo videos for Mango, that standard "pat answer" (even from Microsoft folks) about the new fast app switcher was "if you want to clear an app from the switcher, select it and press the back button". Well, that isn't quite the way it works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NotTarts:
Can you give me an example of an situation where it actually quits the app, regardless of how many actions you've performed? It's worked how I expect it to in every application I have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrdaco:
Yes I try to update firmware, and this update turm my phone back to 7382 preNoDo version. So I can't unlock it with Chewron. So I have to use one firmware leater, to get 7008 version WP7.

Anyway, is there an option tu update Omnias firmware and keep my Mango WP7 untuched. I realy don't want to start all ower again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
How about Local Scout (let me guess, they stole that from Yelp, City Search, Foursquare, and Open Table)? How about app integration into the search engine?

You should stop being so pessimistic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ahumeniy:
I live in Chile, so I set up my phone to the Spanish (Chile) locale. The Search button only takes me to the bing website (opens a browser with the bing website). Now, if I change the locale to English (United States) the search button gets more interesting. I hope they fix it on RTM since I had no problems using any of the bing US-exclusive features on my country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I just got my Sansung Update notification from Zune bro.. thanks a lot, looks like my search button problem is solved.. its a waste of a key.. but still atleast i wont get kicked out of apps and games because of this punishing button.

"How dare you bring yo fingers around this, this is reserved for BING!, a revolutionary new search technology which will make you switch from Google to Bing because we have dedicated a key for it!" :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Im using Android since HTC hero days and currently I have about 90 apps installed and I never had a situation where I was stuck in an app and had to force close it because of back button logic. Your example maybe theoretically correct, but nothing which will really happen...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
This new content search features makes the Bing key a bit more attractive - i like the idea:

[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
I think they meant that for the apps that u dont have a background agent set for and in that case it'll take u to the beginning of the app where u can easily back out of it. and if not it still isn't a big issue as it'll eventually get pushed out, especially for u since u bounce around multiple apps.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
Guys,

I have tried several roms and decided to odin back to 2.1, updated to 2.2 and just clean it up a bit and leave it as is for a while.

Everything went just fine, but yet again this damn clockwork recovery issue which I knew I would get but thought maybe it would be solved by now on rom managers side.

So, in rom manager, it shows that current recovery is 2.5.1.2 which matches the latest, however, when I reboot into recovery, I am still getting the standard 2.2 recovery console.

I tried searching but not sure what the issue is, of course I get the signature issue when I try to update package.

It's wierd that it's showing it's installed but it's not actually booting into the correct recovery console.

Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeliosAI:
For the past couple weeks, I've left the comforts of CyanogenMod to venture into the realm of 2.1/3.0 sense roms since they seemed to be close to stable to make one of them my daily rom. Anyway, on EVERY single one I tested, there was a bug in the 3.0 messaging app. Every once in awhile, I would receive a text postmarked an hour later than it actually was. The issue is that when I replied, it would put my response right above the text I just received since my outgoing text would be the correct time. So if this happened a few times in a row, the flow of the conversation would be jumbled. I'm not sure how this happened so I tested it out with my Google Voice account. I'm not sure if this was coincidence or not, but it seemed like it happened either right after turning off the screen or while I was using the phone. I'm guessing it has something to do with how the messaging app deals with the phone's internal clock or something since it's a universal issue and not just found on a couple roms. But I'm not a amazing coder like you guys on here so I have no idea. Hopefully someone can get this fixed.

The roms I've used thus far (the bug is in all of them):

Optimized Shift 2.4 (my main rom)

Synergy RC2

Nil's Business GingerSense 3.0 v1.3

Nil's Business GingerSense 2.1/3.0 v2.3

Incredible 2 ReMix RLS 2.2

Kingdom Stock GingerSense RLS2

Kingdom Rewind 3D RLS3

I posted it here instead of the Q&A because I figured developers should know about this (or whoever it is that ported the 3.0 messaging app) so it can be fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Multiple people have experienced this, and cyanogenmod has had some releases that have done this as well. There is a market app that fixes it, I don't recall the name but it's somewhere along the lines of smsfix or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 1107963:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dr. Hax:
Were you in central time zone? I never experienced the bug until I traveled from Virginia Beach -> Memphis. Durr, the clock changed on its own. It was on the Pure Speed shift ROM, I reported the bug and basically I was alone 0.0 :'(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dr. Hax:
Another bug I've noticed is that ever since Sense 2.0, if you have a contact linked to Facebook, their number appears in EVERY. SINGLE. TEXT. Ex:

Bill (M +17575552019): Sure

I call this a bug because, I know who I'm texting, I don't need their number plastered on every single one of their messages, at the very least, HTC needs to move the number to the top. There is no... "sense" in having their number in every text. It also happens if you put email information in contacts. I understand HTC just wants us to know that we know which number we're texting, fair nuff, but who emails with the messaging app?! And on top of that, I've tried de-linking contacts from Friendstream, only for the messaging app to keep showing their number in all their texts whenever I start texting them again -.-

Its amazing that I seem to be the only one who notices this ugly bug.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
It seems that no matter what, incoming messages are stamped with Eastern Time .... I was in PST and messages were 3 hours different and now I have moved to CST and messages are 1 hour off. SMS Time Fix will fix this but it does suck that it requires a separate app to do so ....

This Would Be Terribly Lame on AT&T’s Part, If It’s True

A rumor: Like Verizon, AT&T is going to start slowing down the internets of its heaviest users—something like the top 5 percent of data hogs—starting around October.

This would be okay (grudgingly), given precisely two conditions: If everybody on AT&T still had unlimited data (they don't) or if AT&T only applied the throttling to the heaviest users who still have unlimited data. In other words, if AT&T started slowing down the connections of users who don't have unlimited data—the ones who pay for every byte they download—that would be total bull****, since, well, they're paying for all of it. Effectively, they'd be getting screwed on both ends.

AT&T won't say a word about it, so it's hard to say exactly how they'd apply the throttling. Verizon's reps haven't gotten back to me as to whether their throttling will also apply to heavy users who don't have unlimited data plans, now that they've switched to tiered data plans too. Obviously, it'd be crappy on their part to hit those users twice, too. (Verizon's supposedly trying to limit 3G FaceTime to people who have limited data plans, to keep the network from exploding, and obviously to make more money.)

If this happens, and AT&T does start throttling its heavy users, it'll leave Sprint as the only major carrier that doesn't implement throttling at all—not to mention it's the only carrier with truly unlimited data. And bless them for that.

Re usage, you can get vga converters for about £50

This is dvi to vga but you can get a dvi to hdmi connector for a couple of quid. But yeh a hdmi enabled monitor is about £75 now, and whether a converter would even work or not i dont know. Would be great to have a way for sneaky full screen web browsing on my vga monitor at work...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
PLEASE use the forum search...

A) Chevron unlocker doesn't work on NoDo. It's possible to pass the unlock through from pre-NoDo though. Otherwise, you can get a real dev account, or wait for the official almost-free unlock.

B) Why would you use the upgrade hack (often referred to as "Walshing" your phone, after the member of the Chevron team who developed it)? NoDo has been available in all markets for a few months now, and even the Rev 1.4 Focus is getting the official upgrade. That said, there's a tool available to fix the damage that Walshing your phone does.

C) It's possible to upgrade to Mango without dev unlock, though it's a little easier with it. Read the forum.

D) It's possible to unlock the phone in Mango if you had it unlocked in NoDo. However, unless you are *very* careful to follow teps (posted on this forum) correctly, most of the useful homebrew apps won't work anymore.

Again, please search the forum. You'd have saved everybody, yourself included, some time.
