[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
1) Does WiFi turn off when the phone sleeps? If so, is this a changeable setting?

Yes it turns off. Not changeable.

2) I'm having trouble getting GoVoice to notify me. I've gone through all the setup numerous times. I leave myself a voicemail and I don't get notified. If I click the app, it refreshes, vibrates and gives me the new message.

Dont use it, but did you contact the app developer?

3) Is there a way to bypass the initial lockscreen when using password lock?

No, it's more secure than Android bypasses.

4) Is there a way to have the Maps app voice direct me automatically, or I have to touch the screen?

Not bing maps. There are alternatives.

5) Can the maps app navigate if it isn't in the foreground?

Not sure it can. It will refresh to your current position when you go back to it.

6) How do I truly close an app? Like when I run Slacker and stop using it, it still displays on the lock screen.

Back, back, back, back till you go to home screen.

7) Is there really a difference in the find my phone functionality turning off push vs sms?

I would leave all of those settings as 'on' as that maximizes my chances of finding my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
For WiFi, if you are streaming music with one of the Pandora apps (MetroRadio or RemoteConrolled), it will continue to play using WiFi.

Try pinning the GoVoice app. Not sure if it will help or if you already did this. If you are in an area with no coverage when the notification is sent, you might miss it. Then you will need to launch the app and refresh. GoVoice could be modified to check this with a background process that would run every 30 minutes. It may already do that.

As far as closing apps. For music, I usually just pause it. It will eventually be inactive. Unlike Android, apps are actually suspended when put in the background. If music is paused it isn't streaming, so it isn't doing any work.

If you really want the processes cleaned up. Back, Back, Back, ...

Maps don't update in the background. In fact GPS can't be accessed in the background. But, the GPS works fast in the foreground.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
Faster way to close the app out it hold the back button, select the window that has the app like slacker, when app comes up, hit back.

:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Not to say you can't do it, but I wouldn't worry about closing apps. On Android you needed to as they would suck your phone dry with unruly processes and poor management. With windows phone its a suspended action unless streaming something. So in the case of slacker, or any other music player, once you hit "pause" its a stopped process. It isn't using resources, and will eventually be kicked out.

The WP system will manage it on its own and boot out old processes to make room for things if its finding that it needs to.

To all members in this forum that use the site megaupload.com it has been seized by the feds. You will have to post new links.

If you haven't already protest sopa or this only the beginning :(

McLEAN, Virginia (AP) — One of the world's largest file-sharing sites was shut down Thursday, and its founder and several company executives were charged with violating piracy laws, federal prosecutors said.

An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart online piracy.

The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, formerly known as Kim Schmitz, and three others were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Two other defendants are at large.

Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.

The Hong Kong-based company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO.

Before the site was taken down, it posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were "grotesquely overblown."

"The fact is that the vast majority of Mega's Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch," the statement said.

A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined comment Thursday.

Megaupload is considered a "cyberlocker," in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.

The website allowed users to download films, TV shows, games, music and other content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.

The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Virginia.

Dotcom, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, made more than $42 million from the conspiracy in 2010 alone, according to the indictment.

Dotcom is founder, former CEO and current chief innovation officer of Megaupload.

MEGAUPLOAD SHUT DOWN Indicted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hey all,

I have tested every single third-party camera app out there and I personally found Camera 360 to be the best. Vignette runs perfectly on this phone but I honestly hate it. I don't see why people like this replacement so much.

Anyways,

I have used Camera360 a few days now and have tried really hard to get it stable. It simply isn't. It crashes constantly at any point during every single launch and use. And forget it if you happen to get a notification of any type! It will instantly crash and freeze the screen with error. Doesn't matter what type of app is sending the notification. It happens every single time.

I really love this Camera app as a replacement to the default app. Has many cool features. However, wondering if anyone with this phone has gotten it to work 100% stable?

I've tried everything and applied a number of changes and/or tweaks I found online but none help. After it crashes, if I go in and delete the cache from the application and launch it again, it work a bit better and much longer before it eventually locks up my phone again.

Any tips to get this working would be great!

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3g3r:
camera360 works perfectly on mine......ive always loved the app

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
kr3g3r,

Thanks for the comments. Anything special you had to do? Has it EVER crashed on you?

I just don't understand. Why? Well I tested it out when I got the phone, tested it after rooting and tested it again today after so many changes and heavy modification. Still highly unstable. The instant freeze and reboot when a notification comes in is super annoying.

Anyone else have an issue or some suggestions to get this working properly?

Thanks,

--mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tom0927:
I also have no problems with Camera360, I just installed it and used it, didn't have any special config. Using TPC v3 on Rogers S2 LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
Total noob question, Camera 360 Ultimate?

For some reason I thought it was a paid app, if it's free I am in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
djtyres,

It is actually completely free!

The reason I posted this is because I did try all other options, including all the paid apps. I found this one to be the best.

Man, I wish it wasn't so damn unstable.

I am hoping that someone here can provide some sort of solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Budge:
Did you try deleting and reinstalling the app? Camera360 runs perfectly on my Skyrocket (stock). Also, are you running if from the internal memory or have you moved it to the microSD card? And where is your default picture folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hi Budge,

Yep...trust me...I have done everything. I uninstalled the app and went into all directories (I'm rooted) and found every single trace of it, including cache, and deleted everything. I then rebooted and re-installed. It was working fine for about 5 minutes and then it crashed again.

After some research, I found some who stated to go into app management and clear the cache. I did that and it still crashed.

As far as your other questions...

I install all my apps on internal memory only. I tried it with the default directory and with a custom path to the external SD card...still no luck man. It really is upsetting, considering just how many hours I have spent trying to fix this. That should tell you how much I really was impressed with it.

--mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
Thanks, already playing with it, had 2 crashes but only when I was messing with settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Crash...

LOL! See, I told ya so. I just can't figure it out.

Keep me posted...I'm curious as to how well it works for you.

If possible and you have some free time, test it the following way...

Load the app and start fiddling with all menus and all available features. In the process of doing this, take a few pictures with the new settings you chose and preview it and then go back quickly to main app and keep messing with it. Wondering if that will make it crash with you? As I stated, a very quick and simple test is to send yourself a notification of some sort (SMS, Email, App sync, etc.). Let me know if it survives! Notifications I have have both a ringtone and set to always vibrate.

--mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Grut:
I really like this app, been using it over a year now. Still running it on my SR with no issues. I'm rooted and running Sky ICS right now with Faux's kernel.

I see you have done a lot of clearing caches and this and that.... but have you tried fixing permissions thru Rom Manager? Every rom I flash, I make sure the first thing I do when the phone settles in, is fix permissions. Fixing permissions almost always solves any force close or crashing issues I may have. Even if I download a new app, I fix permissions to be safe. If you haven't tried this yet, hope it helps. Good luck....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3g3r:
yeah fixing permissions and clearing caches properly makes a huge difference when you flash anything.........but not just clearing caches in the app.....in CWM

also.......are you running any camera mods? and which rom?......or are ya stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Mine works as long as I do not change brightness.

The camera mods is a good thing to look into. I may be running ics camera apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hi,

Thanks for the info...

Yes, I've tried that on occasion. Do you do it from CWM? Or do you fix permissions on the individual app itself? I've done this through ROM Toolbox.

The think is I do not run custom ROMs. I have stock ROM modified and rooted to my liking. No custom Kernel either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bwyan Benton:
Camera360 is excellent on this phone....I use it as default...unless I want a specific metering....camera360 crashes on me when trying to choose metering...otherwise it works perfect...and the results are better than stock....one big bonus with camera360 is being able to choose ISO50 where stock app only lets you choose ISO100 as the lowest. And the ISO50 setting clearly works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Damn, that comment didn't help much! LOL. I really want to get it working man. I think I have installed it over 10 times now. Still not stable. Also, any notification will freeze and crash the app. Does it run for you even after some kind of notification in background??

Also, curious why you would use ISO 50 with this camera though?

--Sent from my Samsung Skyrocket--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bwyan Benton:
Lower ISO settings is best for when you already have plenty of light entering your sensor. You would use a higher ISO in low light conditions to make your sensor more sensitive to light thus giving you a faster shutter speed to help prevent blur. The trade off to a higher ISO is more noise in your image...the lower the ISO the less noise in your image but also a slower shutter speed....which is fine as long as you already have enough light.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bwyan Benton:
Oh and yeah like i said...everything works perfect except when i want to choose a specific metering...then ill switch to stock app for that. I emailed the dev and there back to work on it on jan 29th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Yeah, I knew all that already. Just never thought of such low setting with a phone camera. Anyways, ill keep trying here and see if I can get it working. Also, what compression setting do you have it set at?

--Sent from my Samsung Skyrocket--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bwyan Benton:
ISO is ISO dslr...point and shoot...camera phone...it works in the same manner.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaguarpaw:
So i just received the tp two days ago. I seem to have weak wifi signal strength like a lot of you. my question is that is it even a possibility for asus to correct this with some type of OTA update like they are attempting to do with the gps issue. i really want to keep this device but its wifi has me considering returning.

long time reader but this is my first post. thanks for all the help in the past.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
This sort of depends on what you mean by weak signal...

My Prime usually has one less wi-fi signal bar than other devices. At the same time, it downloads faster than my other devices. So, I'm happy with that. If I were dependent on a very weak wi-fi access point, I might not be happy.

If comparing to other devices, you are getting less of a signal than one bar less and/or your downloads are slower than they should be, I think Asus can improve it for you. I think we are stuck with one bar less on a healthy Prime, however. I've decided I can live with that, YMMV.

The GPS update made my GPS usable. Then, the ICS update made it unusable again. So, it is possible that firmware updates can help (and hurt).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tataleoni:
This has been my experience also. Last night (before the newest firmware update) I ran a test of all the android devices in the house and here's how it turned out (ranked by fastest Kbps downloads to the slowest):

#1 Samsung Galaxy Nexus: 4 out of 4 signal bars

#2 Kindle Fire: 4 out of 4 signal bars

#3 Archos 70: 4 out of 4 signal bars

#4 Transformer Prime: Fluctuated between 2-3 out of 4 signal bars

#5 Pandigital Novel: 3 out of 4 bars, but came in with the slowest Kbps.

Oddly enough, despite the slower download speeds on the Prime, it consistently had the best upload speeds out of all of them (though just slightly).

However (and this is weird, because I haven't seen anyone else mention it), after applying last night's firmware update (9.4.2.11) - signal strength seemed to improve slightly on my Prime with a solid 3 out of 4 bars from the same location.

I also started getting an extra 2000 Kbps with each post-firmware test I ran since then. I'm not sure why though....as the firmware didn't update the Wifi driver.
