Takes me two taps to make a phone call, just saying. No idea why you would buy a phone with "cartoonish tiles" if you don't like them. You're trying to go from "cartoonish tiles" to cartoonish icons. Skype App will be available, and I doubt it'll even take til November to be out. No idea why you would need direct access to your MicroSD card, other than saying you have it. Your opinion is your opinion though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
FYI the Skype deal isn't finished yet.

Carry on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Not even that. It comes pinned there by default on first boot. Wp7 does make using your phone as a phone a pain in the assets compared to other platforms though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
If you want easy phone that use for call and text only. Go with Nokia 1100, they are cheap and easy to use!

And you don't even need this forum!

LOL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Not really sure why skype is a big deal unless you're sitting on a wifi router. Access to the sdcard would be nice for backing up the phone ala android directly to the sdcard before changes are made, updates,sms backups, mail attachment backups, etc. Its a really nice bucket of storage, why not use it ?

[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
Tough crowd...Note to self, never make any disparaging remarks about WM7 on this forum. The children will get their feelings hurt and you'll be called juvenile names!

"Crying babe"...who uses that term? Are you 12 yrs old?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PsychoAssasin:
Those who would like to adhere to the rules in this forum. Im sure we all have something better to call you. its the 12 year olds who wouldnt be able to hold back and use profanities.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Ask yourself something: If I came over by you for dinner and remarked that dinner smells a little funny and I am thinking about heading over to Chilis, what kind of response should I expect?

And this goes for everyone: there are certain rebuttles that will lead to a non-productive conversation and should be avoided.

1. Are you (insert some adolescent age here)?

2. Are you stupid?

And a final note - how can you identify with people when you constantly refer to them as "you people"? That shows separation. This is why I do not think you do understand people.
[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
nicksti,

I've been a member a Corvette forum for nearly ten years and I've seen tons of disparaging remarks made of the car and you don't see the juvenile name calling that you see here! And we're talking about a plus 50k dollar car, not some little phone OS that will be replaced in a year or two.

Negative remarks about this OS are taken, way, way too personally! I can't believe some of the negativity that's been lobbed my way for posting my remarks! This OS isn't perfect. Some people need to get a life! No one forced you to read my original post, nor made you reply to it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Another thread that needs to get closed... SMH

One more thing, it's one thing to make criticisms, I have, nothing's perfect nor can make everyone happy. But, it's completely different when all you do is bash an OS/OEM/Hardware/Etc. & hardly ever (1% of all posts/comments) have anything good to say.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That depends. Did you make the dinner at your own expense and invite him as a guest, or did he pay you to make it? If he paid for it, then he has every right to complain if it smells funny.

However, your analogy is fatally flawed. You didn't create WP7. Therefore, a complaint about the OS is not a complaint about you. If you take complaints about the OS that personally, you need to step away from your computer (and phone) for a while.

The reality is that, as good as WP7 is, it still has many flaws (as does Android, and iOS), and the degree to which those flaws affect and annoy people will vary from person to person. The fact that someone finds one of the OS flaws annoying does not imply that they somehow want it to become Android or iOS.

That's exactly why I left wp7 for android. I am a power user and with android I finally feel like I can control my device and not be controlled by it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] argentocruz:
If there are functional deficits in mango that were freely available in 6.5, then just go back to 6.5 after trialling mango... At least you're sticking with windows...

I hate OS swappers though... Never satisfied, gotta be different, easily bored people...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Wut?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Okay, dinner that you bought. Or the house that you bought smells a little funny. :D The analogy is not great, but the point I am trying to establish is if you buy a tech item and subscribe to a forum that talks about that tech item, people do take it personal when you come in and bash the item.

It is a reality. Go in crackberry and bash BB OS or the company and see what happens. Should people step away from the computer then? Maybe. But it is pretty obvious to me if you go into an Android forum and bash Android do not be surprised when people bash you back.

My observation is just about human nature not logic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I already post on Crackberry. There are posts about WP7 there, and there are quite a few people who say good things about it. There are people who say good things about Android and iOS as well, and there are BB users willing to admit the faults of failures of their devices and OS.

It's nothing like here.

People have different personalities and tendencies.

Observations about Human Nature are always to be taken with a grain of salt...

You don't need to go bash RIM in CB. They're busy doing it themselves...

[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Unlocked and Rooted. Having issues getting CWM to stick.

Thought it was odd done this a couple of times. First time I resoted stock recovery and it reverted. Well ok reflash with fastboot because it restored the recovery partition.

Was going to modify the framework.apk and went to

Flashed recovery by:

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-blue-photon1.3.img

moto-fastboot reboot.

Upon reboot accessed CWM recovery and did a backup.

Tried to push framework.apk and screwed it up somewhere so it bootlooped.

Battery pull select android recovery.... and back to stock recovery.

Had to reflash with fastboot and restore backup.

Any ideas why the recovery partition is reverting back to stock??

EDIT:

Thanks to mrinehart93 for pointing this out.

The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot with the stock rom. On boot it checks the recovery partition for some update and with CWM installed decides to reflash the stock recovery over it. Rename or delete the file and the CWM should stick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
i might be wrong but i think you have to flash a custom kernal for it to stick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Same problem had to me. There is a file called "install-recovery.sh" in system/etc (I believe). Adb shell into the phone and delete that. Then reflash the recovery and it will stick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
That did it. We may want to have romracer add this to the notes on the CWM OP for others to see. I renamed mine and worked like a charm. Thanks.

I am having the same problem as everyone else has here. I navigated to /system/etc/ with Astro File Manager and there is no file starting with "install" anywhere in that directory. Could it be somewhere else or hidden?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fastrite:
Flashed Light green 5.0.2.7-atrix5 ZIP version. Initially it couldn't boot and after a couple of attempts (without my input) it booted to the lockscreen but locked. Had to pull battery.

Managed to boot and get past the lockscreen and found the default live wallpaper ??.

I booted into recovery to find the new recovery had flashed.

At the moment it will boot but takes a long time and when it does boot it crashes every few minutes.

I didn't have the install.recovery.sh" @ /system/etc. file mentioned above.

Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a mytouch 4g that has the virtuous unity rom. Everything works except allowing me to make calls via cell tower. I get the error message that my sim does not allow a connection to this network.

It's not the sim card. I've tried three different ones that works on my htc sensation fine. oddly if I put in an ATT sim, it works. Wth? This makes me think it's a radio software? So I reverted back to stock and the problem still exists. No Tmobile. I've reflashed the radio too but it's still not working.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirSCAN:
So you tested it with the newest stock radio? It could be hardware issue as if it was bad radio flash you have 90% chance it would be hard-brick. I suggest you contact TMo and try to get replacement if they don't allow due to 3rd party vendor purchase then RMA to HTC under warranty.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodlenoggan:
No, not the latest. I used the stock one that's for tmous 2.2.1. Is the radio dependent on the rom? If not, I'll give it a try.

1.Phone could be SIM locked

2.Issue with HW

I would make sure the phone is unlocked first, but don't use that gfree unlock(CID), others have had SIM issues after using that method for unlocking. If you used gfree CID, undo that and use an actual unlock code. And if that still doesn't fix anything, try and get a replacement thru Tmobile or hTc support. Either one should work if phone is still under warranty.

Hi,

I have a question:

Can be used on the "Desire" S a Sense of Transportation Romz XE can be drawn without the Beats by Dr. Dre from the Romz software and integrate it into the "Desire" S Romz.

My English is not so good. Sorry :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Rumour has it this has recently been ported over to the Desire HD from the Sensation XE ROM (I do not know how successful it is though), so I suppose it is only a matter of time until it arrives here on the DS forums.

I am also looking forward to this day! :)
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
Not sure about usefullness of it...
[HTC Desire S] TyRies1987:

OK can i use a Sensetion Rom for the Desire S
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
you can't flash a rom from the sensation section, but if it was ported you could use it. But we do already have the sensation rom ported. Virtuous unity is the one that comes to mind but there is a whole list of sense 3.0 roms, even sense 3.5.

Also, i always thought beats was more of a hardware thing. On the HP touchpad, it has beats but when you turn it off there is no difference whatsoever (possible marketing gimmick) although the sound on the touchpad is crystal clear

found something from desire hd section:

Guys look at this!

Recently Android 2.4 firmware, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich got a release date of October-November, 2011. Later Sony Ericsson’s spokesperson has confirmed that all their Xperia Android phones will be getting the free upgrade when ICS becomes available. Phones that will be getting the Android ICS upgrades are Xperia X10, Xperia X8, Xperia Play and all other recently released Xperia phones.

We will update this post once more information about Android 2.4 for Xperia phones becomes available.

the update od se will be in 4-5month of 2012

[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
the article your read was unfortunatly wrong, x8 will not get ics update, as it is only 2011 devices that will recive it. the x8 is 2010 device and as people are calling it, obsolete now. i still have 12 months till my phone contract finishes so i wont be getting a new one till late 2012 maybe even 2013,( but by then new android will be released ):)
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
ICS means 25/175 MB Free RAM on X8. And with this free ram what can we do? nothing..

It means our "multitasking android" will become a simple "NOKIA S40" phone that mean for opening an application we have to close another one due to less free memory for running another app.

Even Android 2.2 on X8 has much better multitasking than Android 2.3.

I think Developers should first fix Android 2.2 and 2.3 because everyone here except some members want the real smartphone of daily life NOT A SHOWPIECE
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
OMG That's so true!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] widiril:
There are fully working Froyo and Gingerbread roms...
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
No man there are bugs still in 2.2 like

1. A/V sync.

2. Auto brightness (like stock ROM)

3.DSP manager.

and many other ignorable bugs but you can not ignore above three bugs.

I have tried GB roms for 3 months I found no problem like these but problem is of more multitasking. So i switched back to FROYO roms. And MODED them according to my needs. But dsp still in bug and most of us want this.

You know why SE refused to give further updates for X8 because they prefer multitasking.

As Eclair Rom on X8 has 110/175 MB free RAM

and Froyo Rom has 80-90 MB free RAM

Gingerbread has 40-65 MB free ram

And finally your ICS has 20-30 MB free ram which is in initial stage.
[XPERIA X8 General] DeFcOn:
I have:

-GingerBread =90-100mb

-Froyo=100-110mb

so...
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
So... you should have to make a new shouting thread and tell us how you got this much free memory on such roms .

We will surely follow you.

Post all methods and also how many applications you have installed and which rom you have and also which launcher with how many widgets.

If you will make a thread we will be highly thankful to you.
