[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
I've been scratching my head about how this is such earth-shattering news as well. Sure, if there's a bug in the camera app (and it would be a bug, not some nefarious plan), and it sends location data when you have the option disabled in settings, then it should be fixed. But other than that, this seems like a huge non-issue, and I doubt that any class action lawsuit - if one really has been filed - would stand much of a chance.

I mean, let's be honest. How would people expect new features such as Local Scout to work without sending location info? It would be kind of difficult for the Bing server to provide a rich localized experience without it, wouldn't it? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You know what, there's a rather big mistake in this whole suit from the start. The setting is to turn of location setting when you upload a picture, not turn off feedback to MS. This is under Settings > Feedback.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Right, but there are two location-related settings specific to the camera. One controls including location data when uploading a picture (the "Keep location info on uploaded pictures" setting), and one controls whether to record it at all (the "Include location (GPS) info in pictures you take" setting). I can see how people would interpret that setting to mean "don't record or send any location info at all for pictures" if it is disabled.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
True, but in the end that'd be end user error. Not MS specifically ignoring the denial of consent. It's basically mean MS, just needs to "fix" the issue. The again, if MS really wanted they could just force everyone to agree by adding it to the license agreement you must agree to to use the software for that matter.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Oh, I completely agree. I'm just saying I can see how some people might interpret the wording of the setting, and it would probably be a good PR move if Microsoft acknowledged it in some way.

With that said, the lawsuit is completely frivolous, and really rather silly in today's smartphone world.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongw:
Saw an article on this earlier (trying to relocate the link :p), but independent testing confirmed that when the setting is turned off, the camera at least does *not* record GPS info to the images. That doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't capture or transmit that data, but it's at least some indicator that the claims are probably frivolous.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Here it is;

Microsoft denies they are watching us
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Thanks for the link. As I mentioned in a comment to that article, there are valid reasons a person might be afraid to have the photos they upload to Facebook geotagged, so it is great that the feature works correctly.

But the rest of the lawsuit should be summarily dismissed (IMO), since there is no basis in fact for any of their claims. Anonymous location information does not represent any privacy violation, and may be necessary for other features that a user has enabled on their phone to work correctly (such as "where you are" live tile weather updates).

And am I the only one who is more than a little peeved that "Mrs. Cousineau" has the stupid audacity to file a lawsuit "on behalf of all Windows Phone 7 users", without my knowledge or consent? Throw the bum out of court! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmags2:
Agreed, after hearing Microsoft's rebuttal, with evidence, the case has no merit.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strike_Eagle:
You know everytime you use Local Scout of Microsoft, Check-in Button in Facebook apps, Check In Button of Foursquare , you give away your position. (the apps have already asked you if you allow them to use your position)

The Maps apps of Windows Phone itself also ask if you want to use your location to have better search experience.
[General Topics] djjonastybe:
I bought this phone several days ago. And with every ROM I tried I can't load the virtual keyboard in the default Messaging app.

The only way to fix this is GO SMS PRO... Then everything works well.

In my opinion the default software should work... And since there are no special custom ROMs yet and no custom kernels. I might as well abuse my situation to get a better phone... I hope Phone House Belgium takes it back for analyzing at Samsung's...

If anyone else has the keyboard issue please respond.

EDIT:

I went to Phone House Belgium today, they told me to test the phone further until Wednesday...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacmat:
hello every one,

today i had fased a strange prob. which i want to share with u all.

i am having google nexus 1 with cynogenmod 7 installed.

and having sandisk 8gb microsd card. and suddenly today morning it says that "SD card Blank or has unsupported filesystem." i took out my card and mount on my computer and take the entire backup of the data and format it. and incert it but still having the same prob. nothing happen, then i search on net i found on other threads that download the sd card formater and try it. i also tried the same but nothing happen, then on other thread it was mention that try to run chkdsk on computer, with /x comment.. i also done same but still prob. is same.

i am having 3 more micro sd cards of different brands and of different size i also tried them but giving same prob.

nothing happening.

i also open the terminal emulition in my phone and type the commmand mount -a but it says that /etc/fstab not exist.

tell me what i do ? even i am not able to do anything ...:mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Wow--that is tough to figure out and i am not good at this level of TS.

Sounds like you lost the mount point. It is in etc/fstab

Do you have a backup rom on pc that you can extract etc/fstab from or can you install that rom thru adb with no sd card--

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/

Can you mount card thru adb--

adb shell

mount /sdcard

exit

Did you use full ersase on and size adj on when you formatted card.

Can you format and partition card outside of phone.

Also, when formatting and wiping for flashing new rom you may want to get Temasek's Format zips that include boot and system wipes.

Someone will have a better and more accurate answer soon--

Hi

I just unrooted my Asus Eee pad Transformer, but I have a problem with Ubuntu installation, I download the followings:

Ubuntu.img

&

linux-flash-kit.tar.gz

The second folder in tar.gz is necessary to choose how to install, I prefer to use file for a dual boot and for this there is "flash-linux-android.sh" file but I think that I must use to run under ubuntu desktop and not Windows, anyway I don't understand how because in Ubuntu I don't know where and if there is APX mode.

The problem is that I don't Understand how to start and where I have to put files and if I can use Ubuntu Desktop or Windows.

I saw a lot of video on Youtube and all use Windows desktop but now I ask your help.

Could you tell me step by step how and where to put all files for a right setup?

PS: I want to tell you that I have a problemi to find and download the following file necessary ( form Lilsteffy) to start installation: rootfs.ext2

If you could suggest a link where I can download, I will appreciate your one.

Thanks a lot.

hi, gave an miui sd build a go but have to say the lack app drawer made it a non starter for me. just had screens full of sprawling app icons. i prefer a minimal screen layout really.

what i really did like was the battery status on top of the screen (just like the topbat prog i used on winmo). there was a also another one on the lock screen just above the lock.

is this something only for miui or is there an app or patch i can use to add into the 'nexus one' sd build i am using now?

[HTC Sensation] azethoth:
Heya guys is there any way to force my sensation to roam on the tmobile towers while being an att customer. I dropped my tmo service for an att plan. I would like to get my 4 g speeds. I feel there has to be a way to force roaming on this phone as I have done it on other phones. I have called att and they say there are no charges for roaming on tmo so Im not worried there.

I just need to figure out a way to force this phone to use a tmo apn or to roam on the tmo network.

any help suggestions etc are appreciated.

thanks.

on another note is there any way to increase the volume of the speaker phone and ringer volume past the software max. I have tried all market apps with no success. I miss so many calls because I cant hear the damn thing ring nor can I hear easily while on speaker phone.

again thanks

Hello buddies,

I was using my DarkyModded SGS i9K and all of a sudden my phone's lock screen got freezed and i tried it shutting down but i wont recognize ,then i had removed my battery and rebooted it.Now the problem comes !!

It wont Reboot i.e It's stuck on Galaxy S -powered by Darky ROM screen !

i tried with odin to reflash it back to stock,Reinstall Darkymod, Stock Froyo but no luck!! :eek:

but it booted into Stock 2.3.x and was booting very very slow @ 1FPS of sgs animation ,so i accessed the recovery but it was also too slow even it was taking the input after a sec :mad:, i wiped it and still no booting up and one more thing my phone displayed once the BSOD logo and now my sgs can go into download mode also but cant reboot after flashing with odin ,ezodin!!

I would be grateful if anybody snapped me out of this crap :(!

Thankyou!

1st of all buy a jig, it will give you download mode and reset the counters. Have you maybe got a corrupt internal sd card ?

Yeah it helped me out, also pit files caused me problems in the past, my advice is get Odin v1.82 and froyo 2.2. Try it without the pit, just use Pda Phone and CSC. If it doesnt work try with the pit. Make sure the files are in correct boxes. Let me know friend

Try this while in recovery (clockwork) via adb:

rm 2

rm 3

quit

Now odin with repartition and your phone maybe will be resurrected . I tried this to my phone and worked

[Milestone XT720 General] kintol:
is there any other way to switch on my XT720 else than using the on/off button? my on/off button broken a few days ago..
[Milestone XT720 General] luks_p:
U can use OpenRecovery.apk. Options are: Recovery Boot, Normal Boot, and Normal PowerOff. OpenRecovery.

Edit: Ahh sorry, I thought u asked about how to turn it off. U may try turning it on by connect it to the charger. But it works only on ROM that doesn't support charge-mode-only. And i don't have an idea how to do it.
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
Sorry for that. You might try an app called "button remapper" which is available for free on XDA.

Good luck!

[Milestone XT720 General] eSu.Matix:
I'm pretty sure that there isn't. Acutally sometimes when I remove battery and then I put it back to go to Bootloader the phone boots itself before I hit the power on/off button, but I think that's because I didn't wait long enough. Other than that I don't see it doing with a program and there is no other hardware option as far as I know.

Just send your phone to repair, I bet it won't cost much.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think there are two aspects here. Using the power button to turn on the device from a power off situation. Maybe this can be done by removing and replacing the battery, but I don't think it always works. The second part is when the phone is already on but the screen is off/locked. I think that remapper app does indeed work for that. Alternately you can ask the nearest cute person to call your phone to wake the screen. Boom. Your phone is awake and you have their phone number in you call logs. ;)

Indeed, kindly ask the nearest cute person - sounds like a plan! :-)
