[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
I have the following issues in the maps application after upadting to mango. would be interested to see if others have the same issues.

1) The option to set maps to "rotate with my current direction" does not do anything. Maps always stay facing north, even when dricing directions are listed.

2) No voice announcements for driving directions, this was well publicised in several videos. I cannot see the options for "tap screen to announce next turn" under setting anywhere.

Anyone else verify these are bugs/missing features (I am in UK on o2 carrier on standard HTCHD7 - no hacks)
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
So:: 63 views and no replies? Somone on mango must be able to confirm if they see that issues as me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
As far as I remember voice notifications are region specific and not available in every country. Concerning your issue with the map rotation, I can only assume that this uses the compass feature of the device. Now if you lack the correct drivers for that feature, which many users seem to struggle with, it simply won't work. Works fine for me though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheus1982:
1) My map rototes when I was driving yesterday to follow my direction of travel.

2) Correct, No voice annoucements, very annoying! Although just reading the large instructions isnt too bad I suppose.

I am also an UK O2 user with a HD7, which I forced to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
I also forced to mango, but I`m left thinking that my compass driver is not working or completley missing. I think I will flash a pre-nodo O2 rom and re-apply the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JayJayTG:
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and I forced the Mango update. During the update I did see the Samsung Firmware update take place first. I had the same problems with the map rotating feature then found out that it only works when you have set directions to somewhere and leave the direction list on screen. Saying that you must also be on the correct path (the blue line on the map) set for you by bing. You will see that the line will straigh down the middle of the phone and when you come to a turning it will turn the map to get it back to the middle (rotating with your current direction). It lame that it just doesnt work without all that but still that how i have found it to work on the Omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Flashmaster591:
me too :(

Just got my 02 UK HD7 back from HTC after a warranty claim. The phone came back with official mango on it and no option to activate audio in maps.

I think thus must be a UK nanny state thing. As the authorities don't want us having to tap the screen to hear the direction as this is how the TBT in mango works

Either that or 02 have blocked it because they want to sell us something instead !

Typical

Custom rom flash me thinks !!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] DMAND:
Not an O2 thing as I forced Mango on my sim free Omnia 7, have the OEM firmware update too and no voice here either

I just rooted my gratia following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133446

now i'm looking for darktremor's app2sd to really move ALL my apps on sd and not just a part of them like froyo app2sd or cyanogen app2sd

the trouble is that I have to rebuild my boot.img to initialize darktremor script 'cause my stock rom doesn't support it. I followed these instructions ("Direct Apps2SD method")

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158823170833688

and everything went smooth but the new boot.img is around 400k smaller and my phone doesn't boot (until I restore my old boot.img)... I need advice, can this size mismatch be normal? something goes wrong repacking boot.img (how could I check?)? I missed something? Or maybe the kernel base_address is wrong for my gratia? I used the legend one, the same as for htc aria afaik

thank you :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
this is not really an answer to your question but you may want to check out s2e. i have been using this app for about 4-5 months now with out any problems. the app has been flawless and there's no lost in performance. all my apps and my dalvik cache is now on my sd card. i have about 100apk install and still have 130mb available. i highly recommend it :)

S2e ONLY works on cm7 so that doesn't help him but I am curious why you don't use gene's hoxnet kernel or jznomoney's.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guap:

:D

are these kernel you suggesting compatible with stock rom? we want to leave the phone as stock as possible, it works just well... only more space is needed

I did a rapid search but there are many threads by these authors, can you provide a couple of link? I seen jznomoney provided cyanogenmod for liberty... can we use boot.img from cm7?!?! I assume not

thanks
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtnlion:
here's the link to gene poole's thread the rc1 rom supports dta2sd but you'll have to extract the kernel from the zip.

here's jznomoney's kernel already flashable

good luck.hope this helps

edit:for what it's worth gene poole's rom is pretty much stock.just a tweaked kernel and bloatware removed runs fantastic and well worth flashing if you are looking for a stock sense rom.

that's the kind of reply we are hoping for :D thanks a million, we're going to take a look to gen's poole rom too ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xiaq:
The optical trackpad feels better than physical keys overall, but it gets very annoying when playing 2D adventure games that often require you to hold an arrow key(usually right). Is it possible to emulate this with the trackpad? I doubt it's impossible due to the hardware, i.e. the optical trackpad only sensors movement, not position, and there is no difference between holding and releasing after sliding your finger to a certain direction.

[HTC Sensation] Niker84:
Hello everyone,

I'm wondering on how to get rid of these blurry Facebook-linked photos in the htc sense contact widget. Normal contact images synced from Outlook don't have this problem but those who are automatically linked from facebook are blurry ans at low resolution.

Anyway, how do I get quality facebook contact photos in the widget and incall-screen?

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Rouz.:
This is an old issue with android.

once your contacts are synced with your google account, they will get blurry. Try this, Remove your facebook account, move all the contacts from Google to Phone, and resync with facebook.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Sync your contacts with "Facebook For HTC Sense" not "Facebook".

That'll fix it
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
This
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
'Facebook for HTC Sense' has changed in the 2.3.5 ROM and doesn't behave in the same way as it used to. It links to Facebook like an app now and Facebook asks your permission to have access like any other app trying to connect to Facebook.

When you select to sync contacts with the Facebook app 'Facebook for HTC Sense' then kicks in - bit annoying tbh
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Yeah its really cap, when someone calls you just get a blurry picture. Any alternatives?

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Ive now synced my contacts with htc sense however not everyone has their profile picture? How can this be?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Again, issue with 2.3.5 ROM - I've got the same issue. I'm going to try something this evening so will let you know if it works
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Ive solved it, well for me anyway. I just keep syncing the accounts and they gradually update to htc sense photos nice and clear :)
[HTC Sensation] Niker84:
Is there any solution for the problem yet??
[HTC Sensation] Life Engineer:
Man stop Facebook from syncing your contacts.

Install friendcaster pro and go to sync menu, tick sync contacts and sync high resolution pics!
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
yes. Third post in this thread
[HTC Sensation] Rouz.:
Sense 3.5 does not have "Facebook for htc sense". Its just "Facebook"
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
They never said they were using a Sense 3.5 ROM.....
[HTC Sensation] denialnw10:
I'm having the same issues. Used to do the "Facebook for htc sense" thing, but now in Sence 3.5 the option doesn't exist!

I hate facebook for htc sense. Gonna try friendcaster, not the pro version though, **** paying.

By the way I installed ARHD 4.1 the other day and the problem was gone.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
I know, it was discussed many times before, but just i've seen a article on a german IT web page (www.golem.de) from today about the device "HTC Explorer".

The hardware seems to be identical to our P500, there is a 600Mhz Qualcomm processor and a 7227 chipset in the device - and the article says, there is flash

pre installed and is working.

What now? I dont understand what adobe is doing with this plugin.

Before it was written, the plugin doesnt can run on 600Mhz, some later they sayed

the plugin cant run on a low memory device or on devices with these chipsets.

Does it mean, we can install this plugin and can be happy with flash contents or

do missunderstand the problems???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RockR172:
I gues bro that we already have flash available for our phones... not the official one but yes we have it... :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Archangel013:
I don't think it's the processor speed, but the processor type; I believe official Flash only runs on Arm7 and up, while the Optimus line is only equipped with an Arm6.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
--------------------------------------------

Even if it doenst work 100% it still works and its a proof that adobe flash can run in a armv6 cpu...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Archangel013:
Despite the errors of your post, I understood the message you were trying to get across perfectly. Did I say it was impossible to run flash on the Optimus? I just said that the official version of Adobe Flash isn't supported on the line. The OP was asking if it was as simple as going to the Marketplace and installing the plugin. I said it wasn't.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Typing errors were intentionally.... i didnt saw the "official" part of your post, my bad ;)

BTW, OP never mentioned abt installing flash through market AFAICT...

PS: Oh, this is my post n° 69 :eek::cool::rolleyes::o;):p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Archangel013:
Not a problem lol. I'm not knowledgeable about the unofficial plugin, but are you just trying to watch flash videos or are you trying to play flash games on the Optimus? If it's just videos, you could try using a browser like Skyfire that converts flash videos on the fly.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DaXmax:
How bout checking the system dump? Use whatever to break it and see the system files... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275108 Hope for a success....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
the adobe flash player that works on our phone is version 10.1 (not the latest 10.3) to answer your question, i believe this plugin only affects the browser (it allows you to play in-browser flash games, watch flash videos, etc). other than that, this plugin will not affect any other part of the phone (for example you cannot use apps that require flash)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] voyager20021:
We have to wait again till someone gets hands on this HTC and grab its flash so devs cand make a stable full working one for our O1. HTC explorer was announced in Romania for about 200 euro, wich is about 50 euro more than O1 on aproximatively same specs (+ flash).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
thanks, this what i was waiting for as answer :)

For other things than flash in a browser, you need mostly the over killed adobe air^^

[Omnia 7 General] Endr1:
Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.

I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.

Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow

Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment

Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess

Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static

Do not know about battery usage

Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly

I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality

IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail

If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...

Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...
[Omnia 7 General] Omnia7xdax:

Hey that´s wondering me,i just don´t know whatabout you´re speaking,the most times i heard only good replys to mangoupdates,which omnia version do you have?(Telekom,uk3 or what ever?)Maybe its a problem with your provider?

Please tell
[Omnia 7 General] norpan111:
No mango just sucks. I really don't want to see several "messages" to multitask between in the multitask screen, some is even from the same sender. How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf? They messed up big time, can't even get my native language to the display language.

[Omnia 7 General] c010:
not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.

what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.

regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.

whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.

agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)

let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.
[Omnia 7 General] DJBlaster-303:
