[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Office 365 is a paid service. If you want to use office stuff in the cloud you use SkyDrive.

I don't think Microsoft needs to reevaluate it. There is no native SkyDrive music player, there are apps in the works to handle it and maybe Microsoft will build it in at some point. Office isn't intended to play music so it's no surprise that it sucks at it
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Yeah, that told me volumes about all the details, nooks and crannies of Office. It told me the origin of Office 365. It told me exactly and precisely what I need to do to set up Office, what Office is, what it's about...in the minutest detail. :rolleyes:

You see, when I say MS needs to reevaluate their software, I mean they need to learn how to explain it so a common WP7 user can understand it and how to use it...without reading the library of Congress.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
If you want to know what Office 365 is, then look it up.

The average Windows Phone user will be using SkyDrive to store documents, not Office 365 (subscription based) or SharePoint (corporate). Not sure why you're attempting to make this difficult.

Come on man. It doesn't take more than 30 seconds to find out that Office 365 is a subscription service. That's like saying Microsoft needs to explain what Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts are.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You are kidding, right?? Are you serious? Do you not see, even you, another WP7 user who happens to be familiar with this stuff, how disconnected you are from those who aren't familiar with it??

Believe it or not, I still don't fully understand FB or Twitter. It took me a very long time to even know what the hell those things were and what their idea is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You create an Office document, click Save, it asks you if you want to save it to Phone or SkyDrive (which is the default).

You create a Note, it saves automatically to SkyDrive.

You don't even need to know what you're doing for this to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
To you it is as simple as blinking your eyes. But that's because you are familiar with it. Maybe you were born into it, I don't know. All I know is the common user doesn't know this stuff and the common user is who MS is targeting with WP7. And it's a bit more complicated than what you describe. I had to actually Google how to access the SkyDrive on my phone. And then when I go to the Office app, I don't see anything of my SkyDrive documents or other files.

It's more complicated getting started and going than what you can believe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't think you can pin this on Microsoft, I don't think Apple or Google do a better job. They are providing capabilities to the people that already use those services, they aren't necessarily in the business of recruiting people to use those services.

I guess you could say they should be pitching Office 365 because its their own service, but the people using Office 365 are going to sign up for use on the desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You're absolutely right! Apple nor Google do it any better. That's why I said in another post elsewhere that the cloud-based system has no hope of ever succeeding the way the "experts" think it does.

I spent more than 30 minutes trying to figure out the iCloud to no avail. I gave up on it and shun it. It's just as bad as the others. This is not just MS's problem. But if MS wants to get ahead of the others, they will open their minds and "walk by faith" that the common users actually do not know this stuff. To them, the "experts", they can't fathom something they live, eat, drink and breath cannot be understood by the lowliest of users. But they need to believe the people who say it is complicated. If they can do that, they will have an advantage over the others...who are still blinded by the understanding that the common users don't understand this stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'll take the discussion to that thread then

[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
While I usually disagree with you, and I stress usually, you've often had a respectable way of voicing your opinions and it's been appreciated and encouraged because you bring (often times) an honest voice different from the usual trolls who oppose things. But, I have to be honest, you've missed completely here. I understand new services, such as the cloud, are difficult for some people to use, but Marty, you're not an idiot, you don't have down syndrome, and for you to say you still don't grasp Facebook is a little awkward. These services are included, and their apps designed, for users of these services. Microsoft, with their own services, has walkthrough after walkthrough, and commercial after commercial of information now. So, while Spotify may be a new and great app, it's a given that users of the service are the primary ones downloading it. I'm not going to download an app for a service that exists only in Russia and then tell people I need to be walked through how to use it, that just isn't how it works. Not to mention, most Metro apps are a straight forward "this is what you do next" approach. I agree that sometimes you need more guidance, but I really don't think Office, or the cloud, spotify, Zune, etc, require much help. You search, and there is a big ass play button you push, it's pretty self-explanatory.

With that being said, this app is incredible, fluid, and I think I'll be giving this service a try. I listen to music all day, every day, so I can't really go wrong with more music applications.

I cannot reproduce this issue you speak of.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I think I understand it sufficiently enough to use it nowadays. But that isn't saying I fully understand it. I know it just enough to get by. To me it's a place to rant and ***** as well as socialize. That's the extent of my understanding of it...typing my particular thoughts into the message field. But for the longest time I didn't understand it. Twitter was worse because it doesn't seem to provide any kind of socializing. All it seems to be for is posting a very limited number of words and that's it.

Believe it or not, to old goats like myself...not born with a keyboard in our hands...this stuff is difficult to grasp. And for a mechanically oriented person like I am, all of this kind of stuff...computer code, computer language and these social media systems...are immensely difficult to get a handle on. The cloud is no exception. When you do one thing on the cloud and there is no explanation of the next step or what happens when you leave the page you're on or why it happens, it's a nightmare.

I just tried to upload a bunch of pictures to the SkyDrive and only one actually appears in the SD. Why, I do not know. But I did receive a pop up asking if I wanted to stay on the page I was on. It didn't explain why I would want to stay there or what was going on that might want to keep me there or what would happen if I left. It just simply asked if I wanted to stay on the page. So now that only 1 picture appears in the SD, I'm assuming it's because I left that page. But that's just assuming because nothing has confirmed anything.

This is the same for Spotify. It tells you you are in "Offline mode" but it doesn't say anything else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:
Umm...guys this is a thread about our experiences with Spotify, if you want to create a Office Live 365 or Skydrive issue, you can create a thread for that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] inconceeeivable:
I had to reinstall the app the other day due to music simply refusing to play. Even signing out/in didn't help.

I haven't tried syncing with my PC yet...can we transfer our own local songs to the phone? Combining my already owned Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. with subscription music is the main reason I'm currently using Spotify over Rhapsody. If this doesn't work properly, it's probably back to Zune Pass, which is unfortunately useless on my Linux PCs. :(

The interface work seems excellent. Way better than the Android app, which I've used quite a bit. Just needs some work with stability and it will be gold.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
so from what ive read u have to pay something to get this to work on the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:
Nope, I've had it running for a while on my phone, they have a premium service but the feature you get with a paid service is not that much.

If you get the free version, you'll enjoy the unlimited music and that's the most important aspect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
Im checking this app out now since it just came to Windows Phone 7

so if im uploading all the music on my laptop is it stored in like a cloud where i can listen to what i want when i want? or is it to help spotify shuffle the tracks in their own collection and go through them like pandora?

i signed up for the free spotify to try it out and im trying to sync my library with spotify and im not sure if its syncing properly is there somewhere in the app that lets me see what ive synced?

what exactly is the difference between spotify, google music, pandora, slacker radio, and last.fm???

is spotify a way for me to have all my music on my computer backed up to a cloud without having to have it take up memory on my phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
First of all, the main selling point for Spotify premium is that you can use it on your phone. If you have a newly registered account it might be a premium trial for a while.

In Spotify you're able to stream music directly from the Spotify library. You're also able to save offline playlists so that dodgy connection and limited data won't be a problem.

In the iOS and Android versions you can also sync MP3 files if you sync a playlist with those files in the same network as another computer that is running Spotify. Unfortunately this does not work wp7. I believe that it will be added later.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I finally decided to uninstall Spotify until they fix it where it works.

And if this annoys anyone so much so they just have to post that theirs works just fine, I'm glad yours works, but it didn't work for me. And there are others it isn't working for. Telling us that yours works does nothing to help ours work.

EDIT - Heh...I decided to write a review of the app and was reading over the other reviews. It seems I'm not alone in discontent for Spotify. And by reading the reviews I discovered the app has just a 2 day free period. After that it requires a premium subscription. Mystery solved why it stays in offline mode. After the 2 days free service it goes strictly offline mode. I not only uninstalled the phone app, but also uninstalled the PC counterpart. Badbye, Spotify.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Spotify is a waste you're better off using a Zune Pass if available coupled with a cheap Slacker Subscription with Offline Caching.

I still don't get the hype about this service. Their desktop software is Worse than iTunes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] inconceeeivable:
I'm not crazy about the desktop software either, but they at least have a Linux client. I can't even listen to Zune Pass via browser thanks to stupid Silverlight.

It's also obviously multi-platform on mobile devices as well...this is nice for someone with an iOS work phone and WP7 personal device.

I must say that I'm really disappointed that it doesn't support local files like the Android/iOS versions. Really hope that gets added.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I had Spotify when I was on android, dumped it as soon as Zune pass became available in the UK,never looked back.

[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
Only thing I miss from Spotify is being able to use it on my Sonos. Other than that Zune Pass is just... better. Was tempted to give this a god for a month to see how the WP7 app is, but I think I'll pass after all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gamefrick:
Well the idea of spotify and how WP integrates it is that it plays on both your desktop software and your phone, if you add a new song to a playlist from your phone it gets added to your desktop software while on a connection. According to the free service, you don't get to play music offline or sync from phone to desktop.

No, spotify does not have a way for you to have all your music backed up in a cloud, it more for the social listener who is willing to share music with friends and friends can edit your own playlists and vice versa. The cool thing is that it could be done via your WP7 now. You can share music on messenger, facebook or twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HOFFERN342:
I also wish we could sync our local files. I bought a Nokia Lumia 800 a little less than a month back, and being a long time Spotify user, I have been used to syncing my playlists together with my local files over to the phone.. but it doesn't seem like Spotify supports a local file import yet.. as it does to iOS and Android devices. I am guessing it will be updated in the near future, but as I have seen, they haven't released a single update since November.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbanways:
Hello Everybody,

I plan to create a partition in two EVO phones (me and my girl).

The question I had is once I partition the phone and flash the ROM, can I create a NAND backup and restore anytime? I keep reading confusing thing about this part. Also, if I decide to flash another custom ROM, will it cause any issues?

I don't know if this matters but I plan to flash MikG 2.59 rom in my phone and FreshEvo in my girl's phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
Yeah. You're fine. Use amon_ra recovery, though. Keep in mind when u partition you loose all the data on your SD, so back it up 1st.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
Also, mikg is fantastic....a great choice. A2sd is baked in so u won't need to flash dta2sd after flashing Rom/kernel.

Head over to the mikmik and try autowired theme for 2.59. Nandroid 1st, of course though. It's my favourite theme for any Rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbanways:
Thanks fitz. I am using the honeycomb 2.59 theme which is pretty cool, but I will try out the autowired theme.

I am planning on backing up my mikg rom and trying out one of the 3.0 sense ported roms. I just got to make sure it has a2sd baked in... but if for any reason it does't, is it as simple as flashing dta2sd? I heard you can use dark tremor's a2sd. You just have to run the script, which I'm not to farmiliar with the process.

The other thing I notice is that after I partion and flashed the rom is that all the folders disapeared. I was only left with three folder (android secure, LOST.DIR and rosie_scroll). It hasnt caused any issues accept I can't put any custom boot animation because they require you to put the boot animation in a particular folder that doesnt exist for me. I tried asking for help in the MikG forum but I have been ignored.

First, say hello to everybody!! And thanks people work on this website. Excellent job. My name is David and I am form Spain. I have a HTC Desire HD.

Last week I bought this phone, and I have installed coredroid (the last release), The interface and all is great, but I have problems since I bought a 3g data connection to my phone company. I don´t know whay, but the battery life is only 4 – 5 hours now, before 3g connection it was 1,5 days..and the reason I think is the icone up in the screen of 3G is always the arrow(downloading) in red colour, as I am downloading data, but it is not real, because with 3g watchdog program I see data is not downloading. So I don’t know what to do, battery is gone in 4 hours and the battery is hot always.

And in “duty administrator” I have only this

K9 mail 18mb

Contactos 12mb

Ajustes 12mb

3g watchdog 11mb

Someone else has the same problem?? How could I fix it??

THANKS INDEED!!

Hi,

I purchased my Skyrocket from somebody, I put my simcard in and the Phone/voice part works fine, but there's no data connection. Do i have to activate somehing? unlock my sim? Phone is rooted and data is enabled, yet no 2G/3G nor 4G. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] id10terrordfw:
Either call 611 and get on the right 4G data plan or input a manual APN for data. If you are in an LTE area I would strongly recommend the former.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marcini:
i did put it APN for data and nothing. I have a old 3G sim with dumb phone data plan on it, do you think that's the culprit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TechSilver13:
I had that problem, i could send/receive sms and phone calls but couldn't use data, called att and BAM! I got my data back!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
I believe you need a new sim card to get data with this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Copperhed:
Thats the problem, you have to be on a smartphone data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AllTheWay:
I had the same issue.

You need to have a LTE data plan. I highly recommend calling 611 and informing them of this. Also this will allow you take advantage of the visual voicemail option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gr8Danes:
This is correct, I had the same problem. They accidentally put it on the wrong line on mine and I had no data. They had to add the LTE plan in order for it to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vonerk:
You need a 4g sim.When I tried mine with a 3g sim the phone couldn't even load google and the "4G" symbol was not there.

Your kernel (entropy), Infusion-GB kernel and Rogers stock kernel doesn't have this problem. The limit/cap was only on AT&T KJ2 and KJ4 (not sure about new leak, or Froyo as I didn't test them). Also, CM7 and MIUI roms didn't have this issue.

Just flashed to KK1.

I'm getting pretty good d/l speed (126ms/5965/1167). I think it was around 3-4mbps with KJ4. Btw, it says 4G instead of H+. :p not that it matters. I'm hoping KK1 has better battery life than before.

CWM Flashable UCKK1
