wow.. weather idea super.. I saw a link somewhere in this forums to tell wishlist to MS. good idea to post there if they consider.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Not sure how much I'd support that live lockscreen for weather idea. I'd love to see a metro-ish idea, such as a small text-like icon next to the time, sort of the like the alarm icon. That weather is too Android-like and exactly why I hate Android. The wallpaper is live already in relation to Zune too.

Notification idea is a great and sought after idea. Though, the way I think Microsoft sees it is that most app with notifications will be pinned to the homescreen or should be in their minds, which is why they didn't even touch the system. They figure your homescreen is your notification screen. But swiping the other way, or going up would be a great idea. Maybe if you drag the screen it'll drop a volume-style drawer with notification alerts.

And ew to the custom homescreen background lol. I think the tiles work best without a background.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Then why did they bother implementing toast notifications as part of the OS?

But even with that aside, the problem with the "start screen as notification screen" idea is that even with flippable live tiles, they only display the most recent notification. Anything older than that is lost. And, of course, many (most) 3rd party apps don't display text at all on their live tiles, just tickers and images.

Don't like it? Don't use it. Many people would love to have a splash of color behind their live tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elcapo24682:
I like those pictures, however I think the notifications are fine the way they are, I still manage to keep up with all the notifications in my apps by using the start screen. I also agree of the idea that backgrounds will distract from the live tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
First off, good work on the presentation.

I don't like the notifications idea. The way I'd like to see it implemented (which I've already voiced, loudly, to the team) is to simply have them aggregated in the notifications area of the "me" tile. It's the perfect spot for archived toasts and it would quickly give you an indication on what's happened using the "me" live tile.

Secondly, I don't see a need for a separate "notifications if in app/hub" system. If you're already using the phone when a toast comes in you'll have seen it at the top of the screen. If you're not [actively] using the phone, you're not in an app anyway so the "me" tile takes care of you. Just have certain on-device events toastable (such as email received) and you're good to go. Even without all events coming in as toasts having them all aggregated in "me" would work due to the fast-app-switching.

In addition, allow a certain number of apps to register for "on-lockscreen" capabilities. Where it would add an icon, counter and/or message to the lockscreen.

As for the customizable backgrounds. I'd probably not use it myself as it takes away from the live tiles and the way they pop out on a completely white background, but I can definitely see most people wanting this feature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The "me" tile is a social networking tile. Many of the toasts from 3rd party apps have nothing to do with social networking. It would feel awkward to me to put them there.

I don't know that I would use it either, but having the option would be a good thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] laigdotcom:
good idea :X
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I was giving my opinion, don't like it, don't respond to it, I never said not to implement it. Im really beginning to regret every time I see your name and still read your post. I feel bad for RoboChildren and RoboWife

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
No, you didn't say not to implement it. But your post came across slightly condescending, as if anyone who would like that feature just doesn't "get" WP7.

And for the record, I really don't appreciate you making any comments about my family. That is the type of schoolyard taunt that a 10-year-old throws around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CTORH:
Some thoughts on my own

I also think that the main menu needs some coloring.

And an app grouping will be great

[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
I would like the ability to go to notification directly from the lock screen and the lock screen should show 3rd party app notifications not just windows
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
But that's only because of it's current implementation. It should really be a "me" tile rather than a "social" tile. IMO anything "me" related should go to it - including app toasts as well as missed calls, messages etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jallenashley:
I agree. The "Me" tile should show all the notifications for the phone. If they are on the start screen, I have the option to go directly to the app, or I can go to the "Me" tile and get a link directly to the certain part of the app that the notification was about. For example, on words by post, if I get a toast notification saying another player made move, I can go to the "Me" tile, and a link should take me directly to the game so I can make a move, not just open the app so I have to navigate to my game.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
But to me (no pun intended ;)), that is still a social notification, in that it affects my ability to interact with other people. I don't think a notification about a weather forecast, or a stock market alert, or an upcoming episode of a TV show, fit the same criteria.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Microsoft made it a Social Network tile, because they didn't want to handle more panes in the People Hub for it. Android (TW 3.0) fixes that by putting your "Me" Hub under a menu. WP7 takes the easier route and just makes a tile for it.

Fussing over what the Me Tile is gets us no where.

The issue is what should be discussed, and it's obvious. The notification system in WP7 is bad. It's way too fragmented and it's much too tedious. A Notification cache is needed. This isn't a feature phone that gets hardly any pushed updates. It's a smartphone and every smartphone OS that has grown a healthy app market and embraced PUSH Updates and Notifications without one has run into issues and eventually (like Apple) had to implement one.

1. Allow Apps intelligent use of the LED Notification Light (Different Colors for Notifications, etc. similar to Blackberries)

2. Global Notification Cache - Swipe Right on Home Screen to get to it (Similar to iOS, but Notifications instead of Search, before someone says anything... swiping down has already been dong, as has swiping up in addition to other gestures... Not much choice, it just needs to be done.).

3. Zune Social... Where is it? They missed the ball on this one... It had potential in WP7, but I think it may be a bit late to try to resurrect it, now.

4. Flash LITE, or the ability to stream Flash Video in the video player. Show the boxes, and let it open up in the player like on YouTube. Don't care about Ads, Navigational Elements, or Games. Just the video.

5. Bluetooth File Transfer - at least Contact Info, Multimedia, Office Documents. Don't care about file explorer. It can add them to the necessary hubs by file type.

6. Video MMS/Email.

7. Video, and Voice Clip transfer for WLM.

8. Video Chat for WLM - Back and Front Cam (obviously 1st gen devices would default to back cam, new devices can switch). Skype won't do. Most consumers don't even care about Skype unless they use it for calling. They just use WLM or some other IM service like FB or Yahoo! instead.

9. Delivery Confirmations and/or S/D/R in Windows Live Messenger (Similar to BBM/Kik).

10. Facebook Offline Messages and Twitter Direct Messages pushed and integrated into one of the Social or Email Hubs (Probably Me) - with Toast Notifications.

11. Official Support for External SD Cards - Obviously they won't be Hot-Swappable...

12. Hand-Off GPS Navigation.

13. Integrate Zune and Windows Phone services with Windows Media Player. Shouldn't need to install Zune. Mac Users don't need to install iTunes to manage their iDevices. Never understood the need for this redundant piece of software, especially when it's Audio/Video Playing features are so terrible compared to WMP or iTunes.

14. Software EQ built into WP7.

15. Integrated DLNA functionality (at least for WMP/WMC/XBox360).

16. Ability to set different Notification Tones for Notifications in different Apps.

There's more :P

[HD2 General] scubascuba3:
i've been using my hd2 a long time now,still like it. A problem id like to solve is,when i switch wifi on i manually have to switch off data connection otherwise although the wifi icon is in the display,the phone is using the data connection.

is there a setting which does this? and switches back on once wifi is off?

you'd think it would do this automatically
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Sounds strange, mine always does it the correct way around.

Have you tried a resert on the phone?

you could always switch off the data connection but that is far from elegant

Are you still on win mo or have you flashed a custom rom yet?

I am running Coredroid 1.7 currently
[HD2 General] scubascuba3:
I'm still using Windows 6.5 didn't want to switch to Android or something incase it screwed my phone up. i've done various resets since having the phone,hard soft,did upgrade to htc ROM on their site.

by the way the only way you can tell it is or isn't using the wifi is if my modem is flashing etc as its being used

my work around is just to switch off the data connection when using WiFi but its not ideal
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Settings menu all settings connection connections manage connections( I think, working from memory)

Should find a screen with two dropdowns to select which connection is used for auto and non auto connections. Usually the auto one defaults to the mobile data, but set them both to "the internet" and they should use whichever is available.

As I said, working from memory, so wording may not be correct.
[HD2 General] scubascuba3:
i've found the two drop downs,ive dabbled with them before. the option which seems to mean internet is "my ISP" but when i select that there's then other settings which it isn't clear what to update.

I'm not sure that's the answer. i reckon a lot of people have this problem but think the wifi is slow where in fact its using data connection.

must be another solution?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hmm, its been a while since i used winmo, and i also know different providers call their connections by slightly different thibngs when the initial setup happens, but thats essentially where its set.

However, a much better option would be use the toggles in cookies hometab (or a standalone toggle) and use that to toggle data on only when needed, then when its off everything will default to wifi.
[HD2 General] scubascuba3:
My workaround is i use data controller to switch the data connection off then switch wifi on. The data connection comes back on automatically when there is no wifi and the phone needs to update via internet.

If only I new the setting to avoid this workaround....
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
Touch tools has an option to make the phone use Wifi first, I don't know if it works well because I don't use my data connection, and never will. Anyway, it's called Wifi on demand or something like that..
[HD2 General] Richy99:

I'm lovin' Mango but I find one annoying thing with the Pictures Live Tile. Although I have over 1100 pictures, it only shuffles a handful of them... Each time I look at the homescreen it's showing and cycling through the same pictures...

Bloody annoying...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Leapo:
It shuffles through your favorites. Go through your albums and add some more pictures as favorites, they'll appear in the mix :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I think it only uses your favourites album, could be wrong, but thats what I think!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
You can also have no favorites at all and then it shuffles through everything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I have no favorites... Theoretically it should shuffle all pics but still it shuffles only like 10 pics.. I think if u go to pic hub and chose reshuffling than it will also shuffle main tile again fr different pic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Diablosblizz:
I also have this issue, with no favourites. Only chooses a handful of contacts, and only seems to switch between the handful of contacts every so often (maybe once a day?). Looking at the same pictures is starting to get annoying, and defeats the purpose of the Live Tiles...
[Windows Phone 7 General] argentocruz:
OK, I've manually added a stack of pics as favourites and that's much better...

Seems if you don't choose any favourites the randomiser is quite crap...
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
It'll shuffle through a group multiple times a day. But it won't do the same group all day, also, if you open it up, it automatically changes groups.

AFAIK,

it's need something like HDMI output from your handheld to TV (like samsung Galaxy SII), which is GT-S5570 doesn't, CMIIW.......:o
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
I don't see any HDMI port on Galaxy Mini, so i think it is not possible to view tv or play games or music on your tv.:( Unless you can connect via USB. But, that doesn't allow playing games. (You might be able to access your sdcard contents though, but not so sure!) :o

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Usually I just plug in my USB flash drive to watch movies, but I don't have it around at the moment, so I was wondering if it's possible to read only from sdcard... (to use it like a USB flash drive)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Don't know about that (I probably don't have a Samsung TV and won't have it atleast for next 5-10 years, if any i would)... But, if there is USB port in your TV, then you might be able to play videos and songs in the flash disk. Why don't you try and see for yourself? :)

Just read in the Facebook feed of PES that they'll launch the game "later in October" for Android (it's out for iOS already). They're going to use a freemium model, seemingly. People have been moaning because quick matches only last one half... I wonder what's their idea.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Red_Kop:
Hope it is better than 2011, that was awful for a PES game.

They should just make them like the old PS1 games but spruce up the graphics.

Hi everyone

yesterday I bought a X10 (it wasn't brand new)

I turned it on and it asked me for settings (language, time, etc) (yeah it's not new but they changed the rom before sell it to me)

I worked with it for like 10-15min and I got a big vibrate and it turned off. I pluged it into the charger, there was an orange led for 5min and then nothing, when I tried to turn the phone on I saw SE logo and it restarted. I plugged it to the charger, nothing again, not even orange led

I took it to a store and they shocked the battery, i came back, turned it on, it booted ok everything was fine,I plugged it again to full charge. orange led for 1.5h and then green led.I worked with it a short time then turned it off to put the sim and sd card in

when I turned it on it booted till lock screen and rebooted. again SE logo then boot again

it sometimes boot till lock screen sometimes only se logo and reboot

when it goes to lock screen I see antena has red x on it, i thought maybe that's the problem, i removed sim and sd, still the same

Please please please help me

Have a look in the dev section for flashtool (there's a tutorial in the q&a section), look in the firmwares sticky in the dev section and download the firmware for your region. I suggest you pick a generic firmware. Now use flashtool to flash the firmware to the phone.

This should solve the problem.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
You could do 2.3.3 or 2.1. It shouldn't matter.

As for Farsi support, 2.1 supports more languages than 2.3.3 I think. I just checked the list of available languages on my 2.3.3 ROM and Farsi isn't listed. 2.1 might support it.

You could always try both to see which one better suits your needs.

That firmware you have is 2.3.3, by the way.
