[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
sometimes when i install a AOSP ROM it'll show no service to. although after rebooting, then it works.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baggenismo:
I tried rebooting over and over, never came back untill i pushed the above radio in from hboot. It still shows nearly no service although it does have some. I had the same problem with my inspire 4g untill i found the right radio that worked perfect.

I went across town to the area I get the best service and it still only shows 2 bars max

Apparently after a wonderful time playing with my mango HD7 phone, I suddenly remember one thing that I always wish to have in WP7: the ability to play audible books. Hell yea why did not they have this feature? Even my Ipod first generation can do this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Wifi / Bluetooth Toggle

Gapless music playback

Music scrubber

Customizable accent colors

Un-removable of the Folder button in the email app. (Seriously MS? At least make these customizable)

Visual Voicemail (on AT&T)

Option to default to keypad (instead of history) when hitting the phone tile

Week mode on the calendar

I'm really digging deep, but that's all I can thing of on my end. I don't understand why the phone doesn't have gapless playback while my Zune HD does.

Also, is anyone else disappointed that "zune-esque" artist background on WP7 is nothing like the Zune HD artist background? One is a still picture, the other is a slideshow with changing colors and text rolling across the screen in a very cool way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PieOfJustice:
You can toggle Bluetooth and Wifi since 7004
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
This is in Mango, AT&T just hasn't enabled it for Windows Phones yet as there isn't an official release. Thats why you don't see it. AT&T will enable for Windows Phones as soon as Mango is officially released. So thats at least one marked off ;p
[Windows Phone 7 General] rajivshahi:
i guess:rolleyes: he means shurtcut to toggle wifi/bluetoth from homescreen . without having to go through settings then wifi/bluetooth n toggle....;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] singularity0821:
Yes but there is no shortcut for that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] UrosNBG:
No skype and no flash player
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You sure? AT&T doesn't even support visual voicemail on Android as far as I know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 5minutes:
Also, the ability to lock the screen rotation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Yes. There should be an easy way to toggle this on the homescreen. Like when you hit the top of the phone to get information, the wifi / bluetooth / vibrate icons should all be selectable buttons that toggle.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
I really miss that. How annoying is the screen rotating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
I would also like a Bluetooth toggle. I only turn it on when I'm driving to save battery and its a hassle going into settings multiple times a day.

I'm also missing tethering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oldpueblo:
You can pin the settings link to your homescreen which makes it only slightly more bearable. :D But yeah that would be very handy, though I think using the top status bar wouldn't work very well since the icons would be hard to hit dead on. Perhaps add them to the screen that pops down when you toggle the volume?

And I too wish for a better audiobook system, one where my place is always saved regardless of a reboot, the app being closed, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XATAGuy:
Agreed

I agree with you guys. Being able to toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, or in my case airplane mode would be handy, but not a deal breaker. I have pinned “Settings” to the start screen. This has helped a bit.

The deal breaker for me is a useable, WiFi capable Skype app. I’ve waited all I can. I’m eligible for a device in January and I’m gone for good if they don’t have this fixed by then.

I really don’t want to switch at all, but I need Skype and will go without no longer.

……. although that HTC Holiday is looking pretty sexy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Someone came up with a good idea in another thread for bt/wifi/etc. toggles. Put them under the applist arrow & make use of that wasted space.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Multi select text messages like you can multi select emails
[Windows Phone 7 General] smahmood143:
yeah that is sometimes very annoying
[Windows Phone 7 General] kvizz:
Go landscape mode on the homescreen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oldpueblo:
That's not a bad idea, I wouldn't just have them there all the time though. Give us the ability to pin settings type things there as we want them. That way we can choose between "the look" and "the functionality."
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I agree & good point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'd be surprised if the Skype app wasn't available within weeks of the release of Mango. It was announced back in April at the Mango unveil...
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
I have been talking to audible for months about this. I believe the issue is some missing APIs, especially the audio playing in background. I also think the ability for an app to download and keep for its own file system. We should see if we are going to get an audible app soon. I have requested to be a part of their beta group if it is possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tonytoronto:
My List-

Big ones;

Separate volume controls for sound and ringtones, pathetic way right now.

Ability to setup second APN that will work with MMS

Wifi-Blue toggle already mentioned

so so ones;

Support for Voip Apps (not sure why there aren't any)

Bar code support on Bing, Qr and Tag support nice.. BTW-Anyone ever seen a Tag code in the wild?

Delete all option on e-mails and conversations
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:
probably just a settings button under the arrow would be enough (like the search in the applist) when pressed, four toggles flip over: airplane, wifi, bluetooth, gps. which are round buttons like the arrow, which you can toggle what you like in an instant. when you toggle something, they flip back and dissapear till you call for them again

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
* Still no SWYPE keyboard. Come on...

* Still no separate volume controls

* Still no Divx|Avi codec

* No way to send pdf documents

* Still no official Google Maps

* No USB storage

* No way to edit emails that we forward (I can't believe this)

* No Wifi / bluetooth toggle in the top bar
[Windows Phone 7 General] vash_h:
Odd.. I can edit emails b4 I forward them..

And html 5..

And a work html 5 .

try to test with mango :

go to touch.facebook.com from a wp7 , and from an iphone or android or bada phone.. html5 in wp7 mango is very bad..

try in other sites like: m.gizmodo.com ... m.engadget.com..

now go to html5test.com ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Whatdoyaknow:
In addition:

No arrows available on keyboard to move around - very frustrating at times

Poor copy and paste

6.5 I could set it to switch to silent when meeting scheduled and back to ring again when meeting over (auto) - was really neat.

What's great:

Wi-fi connects much better/easily on secure networks (this one is most important to me - 6.1 & 6.5 were hopeless)
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
actually i got these 2 xaps from somewhere in xda a long time ago

just deploy them, and pin them to the home screen
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
The bis part for me is...please support secondary live messenger account in messaging,if not don't block IM+ from offering windows live messenger service...Damn...Since my live messenger account has an Different location Live ID and I can't add credit card number,then forced to use my outlook account provided by my uni to purchase apps...However,the account is totally unstable when using Windows live services...especially messenger.

Furthermore,another painful thing is no multi-select...in deleting photo....or anything else....
[Windows Phone 7 General] s4cr3d:
u mean these xap works in mango? I tot they are useless in mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
not sure dude

i'm still on nodo

waiting for official mango before i update

can someone give it a try/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Abb4d0n:
Wifi/Bluetooth toggle

alarm should also work when phone is powered of

send notification for sms should be no sms
[Windows Phone 7 General] s4cr3d:
Hello !!!! read the topic thread we are talking about Mango not Nodo....LOL

Most annoying missing features in mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
yes i do know how to read

and yes, i still contributed what i know to help solve a problem

why don't u go deploy that and confirm if it works instead of nitpicking on things like whether i should be here when i'm running nodo

:rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Because those toggles don't work in Mango. The only homebrew app working in Mango is TouchXplorer, but it must be sideloaded before upgrading to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
i see, thanks

so i guess i can get rid of it after i upgrade to mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
They work perfectly in Mango, at least for Samsung. I have them on my homescreen since the first Mango beta.

Also registry editors do work, it just depends on which editor. I believe they can only work when they are device specific (the samsung bluetooth/wifi toggles work for me as wel as DehydrationEnabler, Samsung Tools and SamsungRegistry).

Another annoying thing is that with the facebook chat built in we can not send "offline messages" sometimes people are just not online on fb but they do send you a message, these messages can only be received and replied to in the fb app, which makes the built chat quite limited.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
This is not 100% true. I have 2 devices: HD7 and OMNIA 7. The shortcuts from Schaps don´t run under Mango because of the native code. But there are device specific shortcuts from codejoker.com which are still running under Mango on my OMNIA 7. Actually I have 4 shortcuts running (build 7720):

1. BlueTooth

2. WiFi

3. Flightmode

4. Sim settings

Only the data connection shortcut is missing because I forgot to request it in the past and now I can´t contact Mr. Beau Allison from codejoker.com, the creator of the OMNIA 7 shortcuts....

All shortcuts are sideloaded and running well under Mango 7720.

If this is possible on the OMNIA 7, it should also be possible on HTC or LG devices.

I have posted the shortcuts several times, so if somebody is interested in please leave a request here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
I have lots of sideloaded apps working. I'm on 7712, but the previously mentioned Samsung registry, Samsung tools, as well as Dave's premango flashlight app. Also I can still sideload apps. I used the Samsung dependent GPRS unlock method to activate the provmxl file
[Windows Phone 7 General] woodbane:
I hear everyone clamoring for BT and Wifi toggle.

Wifi I kind of get although it goes into low power 'sleep' moe as soon as the screen lock activates anyway.

BT - I leave mine on all the time so it connects automatically as soon as I use my BT headset. BT when it's not actively connected uses very, very little power.

I guess I'm not sure how much battery life increase you'd see in real world tests by being able to toggle these on and off all the time?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I believe Samsung Registry Editor/Tools are both made by Samsung & therefore the dll's that use Native Code are signed with a security Certificate. This would mean they are not homebrew. I didn't know about those Samsung only BT/WiFi/Connection manager apps. They must not use native code or somehow handle the exceptions it creates as TouchXplorer does. Root Tools, Advanced Explorer (Registry Part), Advanced Configuration Tool, Schaps BT/WiFi, etc. do not work. You can't even side load them as the "pacmaninstaller.exe" in mango blocks any XAP that has the line, "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>," in it's "WMAppManifest.xml." I have tried to install them multiple times in the different Mango Builds & the only work around I found was to remove that line, which ended breaking the app with the exception of Navigon Select. I have heard of Samsung users being able to sideload native code, but this seems to be a bug or something. Mango is supposed to remove the INTEROPSERVICES capability, hence the "Stop trying to hack NoDo. Start hacking Mango." thread. Developers are working on a new method to bypass this block Mango brought. Also, why I decided to stay on NoDo till we find this new method.

CodeJoker.com states his apps don't work on HTC/LG devices on his site BTW. It would also seem samsung users are lucky in Mango. The only way to edit registry on a HTC device is with HTC's Connection Setup app & the use of custclear.provxml & using the USB hack & TouchXplorer to move the provxml to \windows of the device as it gets deleted once you run Connection Setup.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
Thanx for your answer.

The codejoker.com shortcuts are still working under Mango because they only call Samsung specific .exe files in the windows folder and those are signed by Samsung. For each settings page you can find a separate .exe file in the windows folder of the OMNIA 7, for example the WiFi page you can call, if I remember right, with WifiSplash.exe. BTW I tested the .exe files with the webserver app so I got the idea to request more shortcuts at codejoker.com because the developer also had an OMNIA 7. Schaps released his quicksettings after that but they were working on all devices.

I´m missing the shortcuts on my HD7 so maybe somebody can use the described method and create new shortcuts, which are working under Mango.

Just an idea...
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Ok, I'll have to check a little later & see if I can find the exe's he needs for HTC devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Ok;

Bluetooth = btuxcpl.exe

WiFi = WiFiUXSplash.exe

MyPhoneCPL.exe

celluxcpl.exe

Flight Mode = flightmode.exe

Location = LocationUXSplash.exe

I was talking about it since the beginning. Apparently I was right about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] singularity0821:
What's your trick? Did you install them before Mango? I can install them by removing the interop line but the apps don't work on my Omnia 7 with 7720.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
This only means your phone is not fully unlocked. To be able deploy apps with interop, you should have:

"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\PortalUrlProd = ""
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\PortalUrlInt = ""

BTW, ConnectionManager is good but still not a "quick toggle" solution. It's just saves one tap ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
Maybe your device isn't fully unlocked or you are trying to deploy the shortcuts from Schaps. Anyway his shortcuts don't work under Mango but those from codejoker.com still work on the O7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
I considered WP7 Mango but not enough features yet. These are the ones I am still holding out for:

-USB mass storage

-common store of files (in addition to isolated storage; related to above)

-availability of music player with gapless playback and browse by folder (related to above)

-ability to lock screen rotation

-SIP VOIP

-a more customizable home screen

-Native code (so that common multi-platform programs in C++ can be ported)

Of course it also has nice unique features, but outweighted at present by the missing ones for me.

After the awaited Mango update I still have some few questions...

* Why I cannot access music and videos from Skydrive

* Why Skydrive is so difficult to use compared to Dropbox?

* Why I have a 100MB upload limitation with Skydrive?

* Why I cannot upload folders to Skydrive?

* Why I cannot delete several pictures in the same time in Skydrive?

* Why I do not have USB mass storage in WP7 with some reserved space?

* Why I do not have DivX|Avi codec?

* Why MS services are over US-centric?

* Why I cannot edit my forwarded emails?

* Why I cannot send short videos by MMS?

* Why I cannot send pdf documents?

* Why the WP7 default keyboard has no directionnal arrows?

* Why I do not have a file explorer?

* Why I cannot upload a document to my Dropbox account?

* Why I cannot save camera settings?

* Why Bing Map does not display the names of the main streets around me?

* Why Bing Map takes more than 1 minute to display the map image?

* Why the IE browser does not support Flash?

* Why Voice recognition works only for a very limited number of services?

* Why i cannot save 2 mobile phone numbers for each contact?

* Why I do not have separate volume controls?

* Why the WP7 default keyboard does not support multi-language (2 separate languages at the same time)

* Why the hell when I'm in front of my PC I cannot easily use my USB cable to transfer my files (Word documents, OneNote audio files, pdf, documents, others) to my PC. Why the hell am I forced to use the cloud when I am in front of my PC???

* Why am tied to Zune and to my PC to manage my Music library?

* Why I cannot drag and drop my music and videos if I want to. Why shall I need a proprietary software, Zune, to convert and sync my videos?

* Why is WP7 supposed to be an iPhone clone, totally locked down, with no freedom, but without all the apps and all the features the iPhone has?

* Why I cannot have Swype?

* Why am I stuck with the WP7 keyboard, the WP7 browser, without any alternative? What a jail WP7 is.

Can MS please answer these questions???

Where are the 500 features in Mango announced by MS.

Apparently there are well hidden, because all the basic and essential features listed above are still not here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 5minutes:
The messaging hub lacks the ability to Facebook chat to group. So far, we can only "text" to the group.

I'd like to have the ability to post message to a whole group pf people without doing it one by one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the_Enlightened:
File-explorer

Arturobandini says it well but forgets Skype and Spotify/Wimp...

It annoys me that zune is the one and only... I'd like winamp to be the "manager" of my music... I need to store documents and to create a file-structure...

Other than this it's a million times better than ios and only a thousand times better than android:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
1 & 2) You can, you can even Map Skydrive as a network drive in Windows & use it like Dropbox; How to Map Skydrive as Network Drive in Windows.

3, 7, 8, & 9) Why, can you not read. I answer this above. It's coming; Finally! Microsoft planning to connect Windows Phone and the desktop

4) Licensing issues, MS does not own DivX nor AVI & can not add codec without getting a licensing agreement.

5) You can in Mango, this has been said ALOT.

6) Ask Adobe, not MS. Adobe makes Flash & it's up to them to make it available. Stop blaming MS for something they have no control over.

10) To avoid the stability problems WM had all these yrs. Closed/jailed platform means alot harder to create viruses/malware/spyware for & also creates a more stable platform. Something Windows for PC's has always been plagued with & even Android is now plagued with. This is the one thing Apple IMO does right. A closed platform is more stable. To bad Apply has a buggy OS though.

-Ability to set "Include Original email test in reply". Carriers now force this setting and VZW has it off (also sounds like Mango might have disabled it in general; I keep asking around and no one has an answer if this is working in Mango and if so what carriers). This is a must for my work emails.

-Week view in calendar.

-Repeat notification (sounds, led flashing, whatever) for missed emails (and messages).

Dark fang dragon lord:

Just so you know, Samsung tools and registry are homebrew. They just happen to use Samsung specific exploits.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
As I did say, it was as far as I knew. Ok it is indeed homebrew, but at the same time. I just downloaded Samsung Tools & it uses 4 signed DLL's with a Samsung Signature on it & 1 has a 4 MS Certs signed to it.. So it's not 100% homebrew as we can't sign dll's with Samsung's Cert. The only DLL that is not signed is Samsung_Tools.dll. So, I am still correct as they may use INTEROPSERVICES, but they only work because of Signed DLL's.

EDIT: Samsung Registry uses the same COMRilClient.dll that Samsung Tools uses & it's also signed with 2 Certs, 1 from MS & 1 from Samsung.
