Hi guys,

I've tried changing the "Alert ringtone" to a couple different tones but it still plays the one I originally picked (whistle). Is there a fix for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
go into messaging, menus -> settings->, should be towards the bottom, and you can change your text tone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
thanks! i thought it counted as an alert tone

Hii all,

I just got my brand new trophy BUT.

I live in the netherlands, and when i go into the marketplace, i want to search for twitter or beezz, but it can't find them both.

When I search for it on google, theres a marketplace link, so when I clicked on that, it says that the app is not available for me :(

Can someone please explain me how to get those apps? Im running official mango.

Do I need something like a US live ID?

Thanks!

EDIT: solved by logging in with a Us live ID :) but when I want to BUY an app, it thinks I live in the usa, but I dont.

So I cant buy apps :o, is there a way to still buy apps????

I upgraded to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 (officialy, no rooting or anything else), but the phone is much less responsive, much hotter etc.

I'd really like to go back to official 2.3.3 and htc sense 2.0?

I'm a noob, so I need help.

Is it possible?

[TouchPad General] daveparki:
Hi all,

I have used the uninstaller that is posted within the Rootwiki page, it seemed to do its buisness ( pages of script rolling down the screen),so after it reboots i used Webos doctor....... i still have all the files and folders still from the CM7 install, so i am guessing the uninstall did not remove the partition so not acheived i believe what it is meant to, or just me, any ideas to put back to stock Webos......Loved CM7 but will wait until the final release,

regards
[TouchPad General] pa49:
Well, I did the dual boot install and can't find anything wrong with it other than a wifi disconnect over night which a toggle off and on fixed. Even bluetooth worked and I transfered files from laptop! Next thing is to check if it will see an external BT GPS receiver.

If you are going to wait for a "more stable" release why not leave everything as is and be all ready for it?
[TouchPad General] daveparki:
Yeah i thought the same, but i have a bit of OCD and need things as they should be sometimes, however after trolling the internet and other forums websites i tried using various webos apps and it looks like the partitions have gone, as it could not find them, however after another session with doctor, still see the tenderloin referance in internals but i do have a full 16gb showing as storage, so manually deleted the files from internalz....... so to cap it i believe even the uninstall and a doctordo not delete fully all the files i.e boof referances.

does overclocking Droid Inc. shorten the life of processor or anythings?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdroidincredible23:
Depends on how you use your phone
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
It would have an effect eventually but it would take so long to breakdown that it doesn't really matter. When I had my Droid Eris I had it for a year and I had it OC'd to the max the whole time and never had an issue. Same thing for my Incredible. The thing that will be effected in a major way is battery. All in all you have higher risk flashing roms, kernels and radios than over clocking.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
Tried looking for a case that would protect the bezel (like the bumpers for the iphone (i know)) and couldn't find any. Have a screen protection and plan on getting the ZAGG dry install skin, so really don't need anything for the front or back. Just want to maintain the shiny bezel. I know...Lame...I could just get the full body skin from ZAGG, but don't wanna go through the hassle.

Had a spare TPU case (rubber on side, hard plastic on back). Ended up cutting out the hard plastic and ended up with this. It's not bad. It retained it's shape and the phone still fits snug. It is much easier to take in and out of it though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ugotproblemz:
same here, couldnt found any bumper guards for this phone. but nice job on it

Question, can you take off the battery cover without removing the case?

No. The rubber wraps around the phone too much.

your taking about WindowsPhone7.

windowsPhone8 doesnt exist.
[Windows 8 General] bigboy292000:
That being said, having used both:

Android - more tweaks, more apps but also more babysitting to keep it running well; there are 4G phones. Prepare to use task manager, worry about malware and so on.

Windows Phone 7 - less tweaks, less apps, but it "just works". Also, the UI rocks it, designed to be more than just a launchpad for shortcuts. No 4G phones yet. T-Mobile is coming with first phone with front facing camera.

I am one of those that had Android and went to WP7 and yey!

[Windows 8 General] VKris:
I have been searching for a thread like this to clarify some doubts I have about both platforms....noob here guys so be gentle.

I believe there are some widgets in Android which could provide you a similar feature...i.e. a single glance overview of calls/ appointments/ msgs etc....I also believe this is part of the OS and not a separate app...doesn't this make both equal,featurewise.

I feel that WP7 has the best UI compared to iOS and android.... but the lack of file management and missing USB outlook sync (which is the only reason I'm still sticking to WM) is my biggest worry. I understand there is work around; but I think this is a major drawback.

People who have used both Android and WP7, can you pls share how the lack of these features in WP7 affects day to day usage (mainly business use). Do you feel its worth adapting to the new routine for a smoother user experience (and a promise of further improvements) or the sensible thing is to just sacrifice the cool UI for all the other benefits of having a flexible platform (not to mention some terrific hardware)

Thanks for your input folks....
[Windows 8 General] eded333:
Android gives you customization and flexibility, but lacks the easy of use that the windows phone ui gives you.

Both are very much usable day by day, but as you've pointed out, the new windows ui is not flexible, and you'r out of luck trying to sync it to outlook, maybe with CompanionLink.

I prefer android :)
[Windows 8 General] VKris:
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone with good knowledge on MS know if this situation (USB outlook sync) about to change in further revisions of WP (Tango / Apollo)
[Windows 8 General] TooSlo:
That is a feature that will not be added back into the Windows Phone lines. Knowing some of the people on the WP7 team, it's been complained about, but will never seen as a feature in that mobile OS family.

It's an archaic technology, and with the advent of high speed mobile data and wifi hotspots so available for when cell service isn't, it's not seen as a priority to even be considered.

[Windows 8 General] Bob Smith42:
There is no windows 8 phone, yet. If there were then Silverlight would be dead, and we would have applications in some flavor of WinRT on some v-next-hardware device from Nokia. Currently, Silverlight API has only about 52% overlapping coverage as C# implemented in WinRT.

As we know Windows phone is entirely a fragmented market. The older 5 & 6 versions are dropped completely from future software API development. There are two current versions of Window Phone 7.0 and 7.5 in Visual Studio. So, you need to deploy two versions of your application depending on which target OS is on your customers WP7 phone. The mango upgrade process takes a couple hours via a Windows PC and Zune software with USB, there are no OTA updates.

The Windows Phone 7 market share will overtake Android and Apple in 2013 (or sometime soon according to Gartner) because currently it is about 0.1% of the worldwide smartphone share. We all know Steve Ballmer said he is "all in" on windows phone.

In the future, Microsoft is supposed to merge their WP7 phone API versions with their Windows 8 WinRT slate software APIs. This will be complicated with the XNA gaming APIs which need to be converged separately. And, WinRT resources will also be required to support ARM processors, further complicating how Microsoft will resource all this work. We know Microsoft makes more on Android patent licenses than all their own Windows Phone revenue.

ROFLMAO. I mentioned some of this to a *zealot* tonight and I thought he would blow a fuse. ;)

So, me personally, I am not religious about technology. I have all three phones: iPhone, Android, Window Phone 7. I like to use them (and develop apps) in the same priority order as my customers: Android, iPhone, Windows Phone 7.

To each, their own preference. Good luck.
[Windows 8 General] TheJareBear:
I'm glad you clarified that, so many people don't understand that and then wonder why there phone is sluggish at times. There's even an app on the Market called RAM Manager I think and it makes your phone use ram even more efficiently.

[Windows 8 General] LePeR1898:

Barnes & Noble Exposes Microsoft's "Trivial" Patents and Strategy Against Android ~pj Updated
[Windows 8 General] mtmerrick:
I'm sorry, this whole thread has me somewhere between amused and confused.

There will not be a windows phone 8. you will instead use windows 8 ARM. Windows 8 ARM will be identical to Windows 8 x86/x64 - at least as far as the UI goes. Metro Apps will be cross compatible because of the languages used to make them, but ARM will not not support "legacy apps" (aka traditional desktop programs). The desktop "app" may or may not make it to future versions of Windows 8 ARM, as it has almost no purpose on ARM. Windows 8 ARM will run on future windows cell phones, instead of Windows Mobile/Windows Phone. Windows 8 ARM will also replace other "lite" versions of Windows (EG CE/Embedded Compact). This is to, according to Microsoft, make the user experience the same across all platforms.

To sum it up - cell phones running Windows 8 WILL exist, and it will work like a shrunken version of a windows 8 tablet.

Don't take so many drugs, makes you hallucinate and believe in conspiracy theories.

As to the which is better question, I suggest you get hands on both phones and check them out.

Don't forget to include the iPhone, since you never know if that might be more you than Android or WP7. :p

As WP7 owner I look forward to WP8.

No one will be able to give you a comparison of WP8 yet, since there is no leak of any alpha so far.
[Windows 8 General] Twistedme:
Also note that you can sync your locally stored email program outlook directly with gmail and MS mails which then will sync directly to the phone eliminating the need for a transfer cable. a number of people will create a single email account to use as there primary phone contacts and calendars etc. most online based mail apps will allow you to sync calendars and contacts. as for corporate life exchange 2007 and 11 offer direct syncing through several types of configs.

The above features are what made usb sync an archaic technology which I believe WinMobil was the last native supporter of. android uses 3rd party apps to do this.
[Windows 8 General] e.peace:
I agree with that and u so funny :p
[Windows 8 General] blogbytes:
I think it comes down to preference. What do you need?

Do you need all the little gritty? Do you just want to Facebook and twitter, make calls and sms?

I have been a iPhone user for many years. I have tested almost every high spec phone that is on the Market. I love my SGS II, my wife hates it ;)

This is my advice:

If you want a phone that robs your time and keeps you entertained for hours, but also gives you headaches at times - Get Android

If you want to just sit there and browse and chat on FB - Get Windows Phone 7

If you want a beast that can do absolutely anything and is stable as hell - Get iPhone 4/4s
[Windows 8 General] ohgood:
OUCH ! I wondered if anyone was going to bring that latest tidbit up.

android - pros: iPhone like dev base, super fast hardware releases, fast software releases, hackable to the moon, excellent hardware specs, excellent ui.

con: accessories suck.

iphone - pros: more, high quality apps. excellent ui. excellent accessories.

cons: walled garden.

wp7 - pro: smooth ui, possible support of a billion dollar company, if they ever get serious.

cons: zero user base (still no sales specs released from microsoft), zero dev base, zero interest from possible customers. dated ui tiles with zero customization possible.

use all three, i'll bet you a doughnut you end up with an iPhone or android, unless you're keeping the wp7 just for spite.
[Windows 8 General] mikroland:
You say the UI is smooth then call it dated ?

And it has zero development interest, huh? I guess 40k apps in a year is zero interest.

I wonder what your adjective will be for windows 8 development?

Sent from my Windows Phone Mango Focus using Board Express
[Windows 8 General] PC Jona:
u mad bro ?

also iphone has alot of accessories because sellers know that the kind of people that buy iphones are usually rich stupid people.

therefore they can make a "iphone dock" cost lots and lots of money, but they will sell like wildfire. and that goes for basically any iphone accessory.

also they have lots because they only make 1 phone a year because they're stupid.

:D

the point is

dont buy an iphone
[Windows 8 General] Twistedme:
Lol the original 2 post wonder asked all our opinions and not for us to critic each others answers.

but Ive gotta say after rereading your reply to OHGoods con saying metro ui is dated Ive gotta ask what he thinks icons in a cross grid pattern is? VISIONARY???

I mean I understand that whats old is new again and what is created is just something that was forgotten but I agree his comment was a little contradictory.

oh and I truly hate how all the current platforms wp7,android,iphone lock there launchers leaving the only option to customize your gui is with wallpappers or to launch a launcher on top of the base using extra resources. I miss the old days where we could use a clean base rom and then load any GUi user interface we wanted and switch tween them without much effort. one of my own personal hates of all flavors of android all we can do is skin the little launch rosie or bake a different one in to a rom that rounds it or makes it invisible.

Again I think a mod needs to move this to either the Gen q&a of android or WP7.

Wm6.5 is a pocket pc, nothing rivals it, all be it a dated UI and a bit sluggish(not me fault as it happens), windows phone is a smartphone very easy to use very quick and it just works very well, android is some place in the middle, perhaps with a bit of an identity crises which hopefully doesn't become its downfall. 3 different phones three different markets, sadly most users listen to peer pressure an dodgy marketing and of course the fanboys, an don't get what suites them best
