[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farooknaji:
That's why there's the choice in settings to select what you get push notifications for. You can turn off notifications for comments on status.

The key is that when you choose to have push notifications for something, they don't come in much slower than on other platforms. It really only bugs me for facebook chat. I can deal with delays to other facebook notifications. What bothers me more though is a) once toast notifications time-out, there's no store of them (other than live tile which you won't necessarily have on your start page), b) clicking on a toast notification doesn't open the notification or even take you to the notification page, it takes you to the Most Recent page (this is just something the app developers overlooked when coding), c) the live tile is so slow to update, once you've read a notification, the live tile still shows a number so I've started ignoring the live tile as it's usually wrong. When this is coupled with the disappearance of toast notifications, there's no way accurately know when you have unseen notifications waiting.

Rather embarrassingly for me I'm a 25 year old male business consultant at an IT firm and I've been placed in the same boat as your boss's 13-year old daughter :(

Seriously though, i don't get that distressed or worried about who likes me if my notifications are late! it's really only an issue with facebook chat is chat is inherently meant to be instantaneous and the general wonder of whether Windows Phone push infrastructure is any good.

Someone's point earlier about the Facebook Graph API i think is a good one, as this is using 3rd party API's i think there's a very good chance that the bottle-neck lies there (as the iOS facebook notifications don't really on that API). If i'm completely honest, the Android Native Facebook App was absolutely piss-poor wit notifications until recently. I used to use the GMail integration with Friendcaster Pro which was absolutely spot on with notifications. Also, once facebook released the FB Messenger App for android, those chat notifications with instant and reliable as well.

Any comment on push notifications for other apps?

If i had to choose between speed of these notifications or a decent notifications 'hub' (rather than 30-second toast notifications that disappear) then i'd go with the later. Shouldn't really have to choose though if MS are hoping to get a foot hold in the consumer smart phone market.

My chat notifications are ok, I don't know about other notifications because I haven't turned them on for my hd7 yet. Everything is really not instant, even SMS.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
For me and many others, chat is instantaneous. Some say it isn't. I have never experienced or witnessed any facebook chat delay with Mango.

Also once you are chatting, you are no longer relying on the Toast message, so you won't be missing anything in the conversation.

The only real issues are that you should pin any apps that you care about missed toasts. Wish there was a better way, but it isn't that bad. Also, it would be nice if Toasts could sound custom alarms that are distinguishable from other toasts. A message toast is more important than a weather alert for fog.

The people I work with and I want chat requests to be instantaneous. My observation is that they are.

It's just the other Facebook notifications that we don't care about instantaneous delivery.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krojack:
I don't receive any push notifications till at least 20 minutes later if not longer. Gmail push notifications are instant. Often my phone beeps at me before my computer's browser has refreshed showing the new message. Within 5 seconds of reading or deleting the message It's removed from my phone's notification bar/panel. I don't understand why Facebook's push notifications can't be this quick.

But i hooked up Titan with the USB Cable and Zune on, so it has all connectivity from my PC.

From the moment that Facebook on my PC got the Notification.

The Live Title of Facebook Apps (Updated) show no sign of new notification, it only update when i command it to do so.

[General Questions and Answers] Irishfella:
I have come across an issue where HTC sync does not sync all the documents that are specified in the folder to sync from the PC to the phone - it takes MS office documents - but it does not take Open office file extensions - any reason for that? - a sync programme should not care about file extensions???
[General Questions and Answers] ChromeJob:
Found this thread from a wide Google search.

I have exactly this problem. New HTC Amaze on T-mobile, downloaded latest HTC Sync, and have successfully synced calendar and contact info <-> with Outlook 2003 ( XP PRO). I enabled option to sync Documents from PC, pointed it at a new folder, and it synced only some documents and two sub-folders to /mnt/sdcard/My Documents/Documents/l/Documents and Settings/[username]/[device name] documents/ (whew what a arcane path!). (Yes, \My Documents\ is mounted on drive L: to keep volumes clean.) ... Back to the story. It left out a third sub-folder that contained .WAV, .AAC, and .MP3 files. Tried resyncing a few times. HTC Sync of course offers no fine granularity options, nor even a user guide on the Help menu.

I miss Nokia PC Suite already (12 days with an Android, yes, I am a Major Noob).

Anyone determined why HTC Sync behaves this way? Or ... :) ... got a better way to do this automagically on USB cord, Wifi, or Bluetooth connection? (Definitely want auto-syncing, not just manual file transfer, that I can manage.) TIA.

Sausage Slice returns with a festive feel to certainly get you in the Christmas mood! The sausages and plates have embraced the Christmas spirit, but the aim of the game is still the same: simultaneous plate smashing and sausage slicing! The sausages may be wearing Santa hats, but they're still up to their usual tricks! Challenge your friends to a battle to see who can get the highest score; the best player will have mastered the art of carefully balancing these two operations. However, by neglecting sausage slicing or, worse still, by slicing a bogus dynamite sausage you will almost certainly lose!

Hi guys!

My english isnt the best but ill try.

What size should my wallpapers be if I want to use them in potrait mode? Every pic i put as wallpaper gets zoomed in and look like crap!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedspringlex:
they should be 1600 (horizontal) by 1280 (vertical) that will give you a scrolling wallpaper for several screens. If you don't want the wallpaper to scroll between screens then just use 800 (horizontal) by 1280 (vertical) for a static wallpaper that stays in place while your icons scroll over it.

It is hard to find images that are 1280 deep. I usually look for pictures that have dimensions that ends with ________ x 1400, then just crop them.

The odin3 method is honestly very simple. You literally can root your phone in less than 3 minutes with the click of a button. I've used terminal emulator and adb methods of rooting and I can say that the only other easier method other than odin3 that I've used was z4. You can do it. Just have faith and confidence. Terminal emulator is much more harder than using odin3.

There is a more "pain in the ass" process of rooting your phone if your already on gingerbread. I will link you to some videos that should get you going.

You WILL need ODIN to get rooted. There are ways to root your phone without it, but ODIN makes things alot more simple. ODIN will become your best friend, trust me.

First, you will need to follow this step...

Once you have done that, you will need to move onto this step...

Of course, use the latest version of ACS Recovery, which can be found on the link to that video.

Once you have completed those steps, you will be rooted, running ACS Recovery Version 5, or ClockworkMOD Recovery 5.0.2.7

My stock cable works fine. Grab Odin as it is an all purpose life saver. Are you planning on rooting and using custom roms or just using root apps?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dronak:
The stock cable worked fine for me when I rooted my Epic, too. I used the Rooting EI22 Gingerbread Instructions from Android Central, and fortunately it went very smoothly. It was my first time rooting my phone, so I was glad I didn't have any major problems. As noted above, you'll probably want to substitute one of the newer custom recoveries in place of the one in those instructions though. I thought I'd offer these text instructions (with screen shots) as an alternative to the videos posted above.

Regarding use of ROMs or just root apps, I actually rooted mainly to get the GPS and silent camera fixes. I'm probably going to want to use a custom ROM though, but am still currently on stock rooted EI22 (with those two fixes applied). I'm slightly concerned about getting all my apps and data back if I install a new ROM. I've got backup apps (Titanium Backup, non-pay right now, and MyBackup Root), as well as a nandroid backup from what I've read advanced restore of just data is possible, but don't really know what's the easiest/smoothest way to get things back. I might want to go with the MostlyStock ROM, since it probably changes the least amount of stuff, or something with a non-wiping version (I've seen at least one, but forget which it was offhand). Tips on how to make moving between ROMs while keeping apps and data easy to restore would be appreciated. Thanks!
