Ouch, go easy folks lol

Remember the iPhobe also had it's share of issues back in the day until it matured to a somewhat reasonable level (about the same as my TV remote).

One thing people can't deny, is the slick interface when they see it in action.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Well we pretty much all agree there needs to be a notification center (the Meego one would be a perfect fit) but that should stop there. His other two requests are about turning Windows Phone into Android. The notification center and live tiles would make his first suggestion redundant and I can't even comment on widgets as it really doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TTRpwnage:
The whole point to the small icons on the top of the screen is to help notify users about the notifications they get if the live tiles doesn't display numbers and only information like say BBC News or something. And so the icons will display how many notifications of the app gets, and the live tiles of the app will display the informations and stuff like that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I know what you meant but if you combine live tiles with a proper notification centre you don't need that on top of it. In Android the tray IS the notification centre but that wouldn't be necessary with a Meego-like implementation in WP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Just go to the people hub settings and filter out facebook contacts. My phone is setup to shoe only live contacts, which works perfectly since any fb contacts you want to call are probably linked to a real contact
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Same here seperate Volume controls like 6.5 (One for ringer volume and one for system volume)

-Tethering and visual voicemail (like said in the 1st post)

-Smart dialing (like in 6.5)

-A background in the start menu, even a few default texture ones, something to change from light or dark

-Game saves in the cloud (what ever is your prefered souce)

-a Stop button for zune/FM radio, that will actually shut it off instead of running in the background
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
In terms of general purpose weather apps, I think Accuweather.com has the best live tile implementation, but even using the Mango version it still loads takes far too long to load. So I keep that one pinned to my start screen, just for the live tile. The Weather Channel app gives a lot of useful info, and loads fairly quickly, so I like that one as well. Ironically, when I am traveling, I tend to use the basic Microsoft weather app a lot, because it has a setting that allows you to always get a report for where you are, as opposed to a saved city (but it also gives you the report for any saved cities at the same time), and it loads faster than any other weather app in the marketplace. Unfortunately, it has no live tile at all.

I also have several weather radar apps, and a couple of storm tracker / weather alert apps. Like I said, I'm a weather junkie :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I see that :) That Accuweather live tile is just awesome, can't see my homescreen without it, specially now that they've updated it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Same over here. I used to use WeatherLive for a short time, because it fits the whole metro design very well. But I changed back to Accuweather after they updated it for Mango. Plain beautiful. Gonna check out Photoweather Live once it gets released though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
One thing I do want to address and I figured this is a good a thread to do it in is Bluetooth capabilities. Mango betas through RTM, and even somewhat on NoDo, had a shaky Bluetooth experience. For me, whether in car or through my Q2, the connection would drop, or wouldn't connect immediately - quality would be terrible. Ever since the final release of Mango, my Bluetooth has been near perfect. I have gotten the occassional static, but that's to be expected with any Bluetooth pairing, I'm very impressed with the performance with device specific drivers. Another thing is the battery life of the device and how it has been impacted by the proper drivers. I went from getting over a full day's use with NoDo to maybe half that with the RTM. I'm getting the same, if not better, battery life with Mango than NoDo now, even with a significant number of background tile updates. I feel HTC and Microsoft put out a much more complete release with Mango, but it all comes with experience and time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I find that if I activate facebook chat and wlm, battery life is significantly worse. I need IM+ to be updated Mango to make a fair comparison.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
By "activate Facebook chat and WLM" do you mean setting your status to online? If so then I completely agree. When I am offline my battery life is better than NoDo, even with several background agents running. But when I am online continuously, it cuts it by about 30%.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yes, when I'm online. Gets even worse when people start chatting with me. Maybe it's optimised for new hardware...

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwegga:
This is probably a stupid question but I can't find the answer in a few searches.

How can I remove the Landscape mode .zip and let my streak use auto rotate again?

I prefer landscape mode for everything except the dialer and Kindle/Google books. With the new Google books update it now uses landscape and is pretty much unusable in my preferred reading method of laying on my side in bed. I would like to try different screen rotation lockers etc. and see if I can find a solution but I realized I don't know how to remove the Landscape mode without completely starting over by flashing the whole rom.:eek:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jitin02:
Refresh the ROM
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
My portrait mode zip should revert it back for you. Both Simple Streak and my Streakin' are based on 354, so the file involved should be the same.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwegga:
Thank for the suggestion. I tried flashing your portrait.zip a couple of times and nothing happens. Checking and unchecking auto-rotate display my streak still stays on landscape. Maybe the landscape.zip has stronger mojo than yours. XD
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
Which launcher are you using? Have you checked the settings for it? Is everything about your streak stuck in landscape? On your lockscreen, is the clock oriented for portrait or landscape? The landscape.zip simply copies an edited file to /system/framework. Mine simply copies back the original and I've used it successfully. Maybe there is something else going on.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwegga:
You're right! Thank you so much. I had Zeam launcher set to not allow rotation also. Unchecking that box after flashing your .zip makes it rotate correctly. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. :D

i dont know how many people are paying attention to my posts for the Kyocera Echo, but let me give a rundown of what I have done, and need help doing!

Done:

Website for the Echo (Hear the Echo)

Have stock /system directory for 2.3.4 (basically a Gingerbread rom almost)

Need to do:

Downgrade back to rootable 2.2 so I can build a custom rom using the gingerbread rom and flash it (and release it to the public)

Does anyone have an answer to what I need to do!?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerwatt12:
So. i logged into google wallet today. i noticed it came with a free 10 dollar credit.

Come on, where's all the doubters that claimed ms would not be able to pull off a mango update till next year some time huh???? Well looks like yall were wrong!!!

Go check the wheresmyphoneupdate website and you will notice mango is being DELIVERED to all carriers as we speak.

Congratulations Microsoft and thank you. Now please get busy on Tango and Apollo. ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I said this in a thread earlier, and one of them acted completely lost about it, I found it a bit funny.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
That's what I thought, no where to be heard. Silent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Even I didn't expect Microsoft to handle it as well as they did. Everything was flawless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I'm one of them, and I'm right here enjoying my new operating system.

Just because I was cynical doesn't mean I'm upset about being proven wrong? I was calling for Q2 2012 (which I have mentioned in another thread btw), and I was definitely proven wrong. Which is fantastic.

But let's also be clear, I did the disconnect method. If not, I didn't think it'd come through naturally until at least November, maybe even end of December.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
Next, I would like to ask all the people that said WP would fail like the Kin to post their "revised" thoughts....

And 1 year from now when Apollo is released, when WP finally has some respectable market share (thanks to Mango) I want to re-ask that same question....

LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
I have to admit myself I was surprised how fast I got the update. I did no hacking at all to get RTM. I was on 7712 and yesterday around 1PM plugged my phone into Zune and BOOM, there it was!

But I never did think it would take them forever like it did with Nodo. I think they learned a lot from Nodo fiasco.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elcapo24682:
they're feeling too salty to post.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NotTarts:
Actually, all phones will have received the update halfway through October. This isn't like NoDo, not even close.

A nice thread to negate the crap happening everywhere esle in the forum.

[Windows Phone 7 General] eknutson:
I don't think you and others were the target of positivity - WP and Microsoft were ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Well, it is essentially an off-handed compliment to Microsoft and WP7. In that sense, it's positive. Other than that, this thread does kind of make a point about human behavior. Naysayers almost always disappear when they are wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pantsaregood:
Funny thing about this entire Mango (non)incident is that Microsoft implied that Mango may not be out until some time in 2012 at various points around its announcement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
I'm one of the people who didn't expect Mango until 2012.

This post doesn't really do anything. It was a win/win for me: either they prove me right by fumbling this update like NoDo or they prove me wrong by delivering a huge update to my phone.

I was wrong but I still win so there's nothing for me to be salty about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Nothing personal but you bring up a good point.

In sports talk, they call this a fair-weather fan. When their team is winning, they run around waving a banner. When their team is losing, they speak in doom and gloom how the team will never do anything right. When their team starts winning again, everyone is so happy they forget about the behavior of the fair-weather fan. In essence, the fair-weather fan seems to be able to have his cake and eat it too. So, it's a win-win if you will.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
These two posts = the point I was trying to make on the first page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I don't think most people cared or thought that. At least not the decently intelligent ones. Microsoft took a year to get Mango out the door. That was long enough to stop caring for a lot of people. The issue was never if they could do it before 2012, it was if they could do it before it started looking like they wanted to use it as an incentive to sell 2nd gen phones.

And they pretty much did just that by releasing such unfutureproof devices last year and taking so long to get the update out.

The update is good, but it's all bittersweet to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
Yea, there are lots of fair-weather fans here in Philly, especially with the Phillies & Eagles.

I wouldn't consider myself one of those. I would consider myself a fan who voices his concerns & opinions, usually with four letter words. I'm still a fan of the winning team, but I can't not let you know that your defensive line sucks against the run, or that your lineup doesn't seem to have it's head in the game.

I actually would consider the people who beat the 2012 drum responsible for MS to move at the speed they did. Instead of being salty, we should actually be proud.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Mango hasn't been delivered yet. There are people who don't have it. So that makes it not-delivered...duh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Yep, I said id be surprised if it was actually in phones... and its still not. Ms gave carriers more leeway than they said originally. Its still a sllloooowww roll out. Guess were both right.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
I was too excited and upgraded to 2.3 GB with my battery not at 100% (it says make sure your battery is at 100%)

Now when my phone is charging i will say it has charged to 100% but when i unplug the charger it will drop to as low as 90%.

I have tried bump charging and bump draining the battery with no success.

What would be the best thing to do?

Agin, I am a noob so if you could list in steps that would be great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Charge 100%. Turn off the phone and charge till 100%. Repeat that a few times then boot in cwm and delete battery indo (its in advance). That should recalibrate your battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
Hey I was having the same problem, everytime I charged my phone to 100% and when I unpluged it the percentage drop to 96%. I tried battery calibration and it didn't work, but in the end all I did was to turn on wifi and set the screen brightness to max and screen timeout to 10 mins, plug the phone back and guess what this time the phone was charging to the real 100%. I guess it's a battery bug or something. But make sure to not let the screen goes off because when it does, it's going to give you a fake "Battery Full" notification.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Thanks. I have been trying the bump charges with no luck. I guess i will have to read up on CWM before i try what you mentioned.

So i think i need to root my phone first? then use clockworkmod as an app to manage the phone?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Thanks Nick!

So you have to do this everytime you charge your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You will need a kernel with cwm. Or Root and use terminal emulator and type "su" enter (it will ask for super user) then type "rm /data/system/batterystats.bin" enter. To confirm you deleted it write the same thing again If it says such file doesn't exist then you did it right.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Thanks

I didn't charge my phone for two straight days, I guess that I'll found out tomorrow.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Two days in a row? damn. I get 12 hours max. I'm cool with 12 hours but this damn charging prob is so annoying. This morning i unplugged it and it dropped all the way to 90%

I wonder if the root of my problem is because my phone wasnt charged to 100 when i did the upgrade over kies.

Anyhow thanks and im gonna try the screen left on for 10 minutes when i charge again in the morning.

:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
They tell you to charge to 100 just to make absolutely sure your battery doesn't die during the update and they have to replace a brick, it does not affect anything. I flash my phone from as low as 25%.

when you say it droped all the way to 90, and someone else said 96, it is due to the way lithium ion batteries are charged: they are charged to full, then it stops to prevent damage from overcharging, let's it drop and starts charging again st what is supposed to be 95 or so...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
well first off cliff it is NOT because you didnt flash at 100%. you dont have to.it is just recomended so you dont run out of power while in the middle of a flash. the other day i flashed 4 roms and my nandroid backup and a stock rom.

how many times do you think my battery was at 100?

none.

its a bug. its also a bug that was seen in the leaked att 2.3.3 i think from what i remember.

ive also heard of touchwiz force closing.

i think we may see another rogers update.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

damn studa beat me to it!

I remember flashing a rom where i DID experience this. unplug > drop! not the usual drain to 95% and back up charge cycle.

but i havent flashed the rogers update yet.! lol of all people
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Interesting. Thanks.

The way Rogers updates I should expect to live with this battery bug for the next while.

Thank you to Studacris.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
2.3.3 has the Android OS bug. Where Android OS will use up something crazy in battery use. If it gets passed 10% reboot your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
unplugged it today and it was at 97%. Better but still bugging me.

If I do a data reset does it reset the battery bin file? Unrooted phone reset i'm talking about.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Like I said Anywhere from 100 to 95 when unplugged is NORMAL and always has been...

The bug TRusello mentioned is sometimes on gingerbread when it drains to 95 it doesn't start charging again so when you unplug you get a significant drop (way more than 5%) but that is really really random and not everyone gets it and those who do don't get it every time. I've had it like 5 times total, mostly dropping to high 80's but once all the way to 35.

Again what you are seeing when it drops to 95% is normal, Idk how you haven't noticed that before?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Thanks again.

When i was on 2.2 froyo the most it ever dropped was to 98% and 99% but even then that probably happened like 5 times total for the 4 months i used froyo. Then as soon as i updated to 2.3.3 like 4 days ago it does this all the time (rogers was like the last carrier to update to 2.3) The time it dropped as low as 90% was a let down but i guess i'll get used to it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Lol no Rogers isn't the last carrier to update. At&t still hasn't we have just between using leaked firmwares from Samsung, there has been no official release for the I897.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_b7:
Oh, I thought we were the last to get it :p

Even with this percieved percentage drop i still think the phone is lasting longer on a single charge then it did back on froyo.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Virage:
Actually I have HTC HD2, and I used HD2 as a wi-fi router

The signal can be found in laptop, but it cannot be found in my HTC Flyer...

Does anybody know how to set this so I can use wi-fi signal from HD2?

thank you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tuen:
Do a search. It's been covered. Short answer is it can't be done with stock ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Virage:
I did. . .

I set the settings manually, but cannot be found

Finally I got the answer from HTC.com

Our HTC Flyer doesn't support Ad-hoc connection

HTC Flyer has tech spec for wi-fi like this:

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

maybe, there is no "a" stands for Ad-hoc
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
It is a configuration problem because with a rooted Flyer you can change it and it works...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Virage:
Ahhh... I see... Can it rooted and I still use 2.27?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
There are now two different ways to root the Flyer: the unofficial which also is a complete S-OFF and the one from HTC self. The last one didn't change the installed ROM and for the first solution, you have to check in the developer subforum on which version the custom ROMs are based.

And... I can't promise that it is working for you afterwards. I didn't have a HD2 but a Desire.
