I get one every now and then. Just a small triangle. Weird. I think it's something stored by Google as it's usually after new rom build.

do you know good bike phone cases?

i'm thinking of Endomondo but it is very expensive
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
You can made it your self :)

If you are handy. Just search for what needed. Buy an car mount. And your done

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MisfirGeek:
I also search, try some but not find one I can fully trust without being over expensive. So I build mine. I use an armband with a base I build. The pictures below are with an Acer Liquid Metal, my former phone. I just switch to XS, by a new armband, and I'm ready to go on road.

I you like DIY things, this could be an option.

I did thousands miles on road, tracks even bad ones I also suffer few light falls, and the phone never move!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] antonio.v.s:
I'm thinking of making a bracket to carry my phone on the bike, but I fear that the vibrations eventually spoil the phone.

Does your cell well yet? You use the bike for Through field?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MisfirGeek:
It's not clear on the pictures posted on google+ link, but under the black tape there's a bit of foam as to avoid any possible issue with vibrations or shocks.

I have to point that my bike hasn't any suspension and I'm often on paths and tracks. No damages on former phone (the one one pictures) and the current one. I did more than 1.000 miles. Never falls off (even when I did). As the phone is really well attached (no move possible, no slide...) no damage can be caused by bumping and bumping on the bike. I also think that as there's no moving part in the phone, vibrations or else should not be feared. For example games based on accelerometer are always fine.

But this is for my own design, I don't know what you have in mind... I hope this helps.

The only point I need to find an improvement could be on a hand-free kit in case of incoming phone call.

And if you search for a great copilot, just give a look to oruxmaps!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] visser:
I use a $1 adjustable bike mount. Its fixed to the bike permanently - it was a dollar, it can be replaced - and I just tighten the bracket when I'm using it on the road; e.g. Strava, hands free via JayBird BlueBud X

This setup isn't waterproof though, but I only ride in good weather/snow.

[Windows Phone 7 General] gbjohnson:
Of the lumia 900 owners, how many of you feel cheated and angry over how Microsoft is handling WP8.

1. Yes

2. No
[Windows Phone 7 General] pgsxdjp:
A little cheated. Glad MS tried with 7.8 but I'm just worried about how that will fare down the line with 22 months left on my contract. Don't think I'll be waiting to find out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
I believe it's a very good point for the class action against MS and AT&T. Just keep googling for that and be ready to join ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Won my lumia 900, and I planed to get an updated wp8 device anyway, so, to answer your question, no I don't feel cheated. I might be angry at myself anyway for buying one knowing dual core was coming in a few months (if I had signed a contract)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Considering all the features coming for WP8 and 7.8 haven't been announced yet, I don't feel cheated at all. I imagine more is coming in 7.8 than they stated today. Joe Belfiore was very specific that they have MANY great things to talk about with consumer features, but that wasn't the point of the conference today.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rare Earth:
I'll feel pretty cheated if the only features WP7.8 gets is the new start screen...
[Windows Phone 7 General] gbjohnson:
Im going to sell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zhariak:
The technoweenie in me wants to buy a WP8 when it comes out, but the realistic human in me feels cheated...

I just bought the Lumia 900, and to hear that a new version of the OS is coming out soon and that the product I just bought will be un-supported and development ceased (for the most part) pisses me off...

I'm pissed off enough that I'm still waiting for a purple screen fix, and now this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] land.apfel:
If I were a Lumia owner I'd definitely feel cheated.

Looks like the Lumia 900 is going to be the Galaxy S+ of the Windows world.

Thrown to the market and 2 months afterwards you got outdated software because the manufacturer never planned to provide updates.

Not receiving updates seems to get normal in the mobile industry in some way.

This would be the point to switch to Android for me, but I'm not a big WP7 fan I have to admit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
Why? We don't even know the Windows Phone 7.8 features?

We've received two manufacturer updates already. And there have been at least two announced future updates... Tango and Windows Phone 7.8.

This is an interesting concept. So you think we should actually wait and see what updated features we will be getting before criticizing them? Great idea!

Once all Windows Phone 8 and 7.8 are out why don't you ask this question and add a poll to your thread? Make it a good poll with at least one option that says I'm satisfied.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
There is still a chance that Nokia will provide WP8 on the Lumia 800/900 isn't there? I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.

Before anyone starts ranting about the announcement, Nokia is not Microsoft. Stop, think. Avoid replying anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ChrisKringel:
I don't know about the Hardware requirements. I haven't watched the keynote, but I don't think they've given a NFC requirement for all phones. Interesting thought. I guess it could happen. I don't think it will, although it would be nice, of course. Then again, maybe WP7.8 will be better than thought. Who knows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] redwhiteandblue:
I don't understand what it is people think they will be missing. WP8 brings support for dual core, high def screens, and NFC hardware. Does your phone have any of that? No. So you wouldn't be able to enjoy those features anyway even if WP8 did run on your phone.

Ok so we may not get the true multi tasking and Skype running in the background - we don't actually know yet - but did you buy your phone only on the basis that you would definitely get that one day? Is your phone suddenly going to stop working the day WP8 comes out? Are app developers all suddenly going to abandon the installed base of users for a new OS that doesn't have one yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
When I got my Lumia two weeks ago, I knew that there was Skype coming with "serious" integration and VoIP API for others. I also knew that Microsoft bought Skype so I was expecting it.

At least that the Lumia 800 was for free.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wiggy g32:
Its always been said that skype couldnt work on WP7 due to the way the OS operates and while its not great im still happy they released some sort of app rather then not bother at all
[Windows Phone 7 General] vpwp:
You can't be serious?! :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Deleted member 2842059:
Zero. Give thanks that you get 7.8. Try to image Android users still stuck on Froyo or Gingerbread. Or 3GS or iPhone 4 users moving to iOS6.

Get over it and move to the future. 8 looks to be a fantastic competitor to iOS and Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slapshot30:
This is different. The Lumia is a flagship that just came out. I'm amazed at how some of you are okay with this.

"Get over it and move to the future."?

Wtf man, what about all the people who got this on contract? You expect them to just "move to the future" and buy a new device off contract this early on?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
LOL... I think Nokia gonna do something to help out the customer who did bought the Lumia product recently... I got what you mean...

Da, it sucks to register for a device for 2 years and then stuck with it (that is why i never sign the damn contract). But i believe Windows Phone 7.8 is actually Windows Phone 8 BUT without all the functions that require the physical hardware to handle.

Time will tell. Personally, i don't feel any lost, i changed phone almost every holiday season of the year. 2010 = First Windows Phone (HD7), 2011 = Mango Windows Phone (Eternity) , 2012 = Windows Phone 8. I am curious about what HTC has to offer for us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
I think you may have just described Microsoft's reason for not updating existing phones ;) i.e. not because they are too old or too slow but because they won't benefit enough from the new features to justify the investment.

"Microsoft’s Greg Sullivan revealed the reasons behind the company’s choice not to offer a direct upgrade from Windows Phone 7.x to Windows Phone 8.

Describing some of the latest hardware changes in Windows Phone 8, that we outline here, Sullivan explained that "the nature of the investment [in Windows Phone 8] is primarily in areas that are not exploitable by existing hardware." Windows Phone 8 introduces support for multi-core processors, amongst other things, so the "Lumia 900 getting support for using dual-core or NFC doesn't mean a lot," says Sullivan, "because it doesn't have the hardware to take advantage of that." Microsoft decided to focus its efforts on Windows Phone 8 to make it as good as it possibly could. "To do the work to bring all of those elements to a platform that can't exploit them wasn't necessarily the most efficient use of resource," explains Sullivan."

[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
It's not an explanation or real reasons but complete bull****! If he mentioned RAM limitations, for example, it will be a little bit more "realistic" (but it's BS too, at least for gen 2, not mem-stupid-limited handsets!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
nah...I was expecting it when I bought mine at launch. Beside there won't be ton of WP8 apps flooding the marketplace anyway for at least a year...by then my contract is up. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] noelito:
I'm not worried either, I won't be surprised if the hacker community is able to dump wp8 onto our gen2 devices, im currently using a custom tango rom and I love and also I see myself in the future selling my awesome euro titan to help pay for the cost of a shiny new wp8, im a fan and devoted to msft, progress is progress deal with it buddy we have options embrace them, I for one am excited about not only the updated start screen but also EXPANDABLE STORAGE is coming back yayyyyy! Lolz
[Windows Phone 7 General] o2neouzr:
Oh please stop being so dramatic. You knew months ahead of the rumors and you guys still went and bought the phones? And don't you know that any electronics you buy become obsolete as soon as you buy it? So now I'm suppose to suffer and use older and crappier software because some people don't want to upgrade to something new? Maybe ms should just stop releasing stuff until 3 more years so ppl like you will stay happy. Lol . Go buy ios and android device cuz their older 200mhz phones run the latest software. Oops
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
I said "I knew that Skype was coming with deep integration" -- I didn't mean on this OS, but on WP8. When I was told that, I didn't expect "BUT NOT FOR YOU! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
[Windows Phone 7 General] papabear:
Do NOT forget the BACON! option.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shamreez:
I dont think I am cheated. I too got a lumia 7 months back and I know that I would not be getting the WP8 but I guess the move was unavoidable.

I still remember the old days where we had windows mobile 6.5 running on mobiles with hardly anything to support the OS and most of the people in this forum knows the result.

Tweaking and closing almost everything running in the OS to make the phone faster...

Why was this. Just because MS kept the same kernel and OS and ensured that all the phones which ever ran windows 5 also (Not all) could run 6.5 and the result was they were almost thrown out of the race by google and apple.

Now they have started fresh and I guess they have decided to go ahead without listening to whining to make sure they are ahead.

But I do believe from the details given for WP8 that microsoft would not have to shun phones because of hardware any more (I mean after wp8)

Just my two cents...

And the last point I would be in line to get a WP8 when it releases
[Windows Phone 7 General] AndyFZ1S:
Had my 900 for a month, Cheated? No, Disappointed? Nope, Paid £0 for it, I knew ages before I got it that we wouldn't be getting the full monty WP8, Am happy because I use it for what it is, A phone :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
In the United States the Lumia 900 was a free phone for weeks. That's why I got it. It was the same price as a feature phone. So call it what you want. I wasn't going to pay $200 for a non LTE iphone with a tiny screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] telep:
You know that the world is much bigger than the USA? In many parts of that world unknown to US citizens people buy their phones for real money, they do not get it subsidized and pay full retail price which in my country is 600 euros.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I am trying to say to everyone that they are not releasing it right now, all the high-end features are not opened to be viewed .

I bet they just being honest and renaming Windows Phone 8 for current generation Windows Phone to 7.8 since many many features of Windows Phone 8 require physical hardware to do the job, make it easier to advertise later and not confusing between new Windows Phone 8 and old Windows Phone.

But still quite don't get it why the 7.8 can't get the new Kernel as well... might have to do with the Drivers and Hardware (since WP8 will share the kernel with Windows 8 and drivers would be a problem, i guess)

[Windows Phone 7 General] rodd40:
All WP7 owner have been cheated, all over the world

For anyone who waited till this year to get a wp7.5 mango phone like me i waited for the Nokia Lunia800 have the right too feel cheated as Microsoft have just SCREWED us out of any wp7 support. Have we all just been beta tester discarded when the final OS arrives. Who knows? Who cares? Microsoft don't....

Yes we get the wp7.8 update and what in that? Well all we know is the home screen gets a facelift too look like wp8 and that's all Microsoft are saying, what else we get is up US to push Microsoft to give us more. We need is a wp8 lite that will run on single core CPU's, it doesn't need to do everything that wp8 can. We want the ability to have wp8 app and games on our wp7 phones. it's not much to ask. And if they do that then they should give all the people an 80% discount upon trade in of their window mango phones to wp8 devices. As for me i no longer want a Microsoft phone in my life, i'm moving to android and i'll nail the lumia 800 to the wall as a reminder not to go there again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Here found this:

http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/06/20/new-nokia-apps-zynga-games-to-make-your-lumia-even-better/

Part that is of our interest -

"Elsewhere, you may have read about the new Windows Phone 8. How does this affect your Lumia? Well, you are not being left out. All Lumia smartphones will be getting an update to give you some of the features of Windows Phone 8, including the new Start screen, as well as a pattern of ongoing updates going forward."

When the summit was summarised, it was told that we will get continuing support from OEMs. I am inclined to believe that OEMs will dish out a range of updates for another 12-15 months or so for WP7 to bring it as close as possible to WP8. When WP8.5 is released, WP7 will truely be dead, which is OK.
[HTC One S] mattmann95:
Whenever I rooted my One S the cell signal display changed to 3G/H vs the 4G cell display I had with the stock tmobile htc one s rom. My question is if this is only a display change or am I actually getting a signal speed and coverage loss with the new rom I rooted on my phone. Thank YOU!!
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
I am not sure how you rooted, but it looks like you installed the euro version or something
[HTC One S] frdd:
T-Mobile USA has a 3G UMTS network, they just changed the icon to always display "4G", the ROM you flashed shows you more details of what youre really connected to atm than T-Mobile thinks you need to know:)

3G usually means a UMTS rel.99 connection at max 384 Kbit/s, used for voice or data and saves you battery.

H means HSPA which is also a UMTS 3G technology for faster data, and for eating your battery. Up to 42Mbit download at tmous iirc. (Best case scenario ofc!)
[HTC One S] mattmann95:
Okay, so I don't have any speed loss just because I may be on a euro rom..... Correct?
[HTC One S] frdd:
Id guess youll be fine, get Speedtest from market and compare your results with ones in threads here where TMo US ppl compare 4G E-peens:)
[HTC One S] rowenjon:
Can you do a speed test. I have the same issue- only because I have my wifes unrooted/stock one s I know there is an issue. She gets a consistent 13 mbps and I am only getting 5 mbps. I've tried different radios (EU vs Tmous) and kernels (fusion) and roms (Maximus vs Viper vs Trickdroid) and I'm not sure what to do next. I am not able to get 4g speeds after have unlocked/rooted...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
At first my girlfriend had her Nexus S updated to ics and immediately we noticed a huge difference in how long her battery lasted and she is the furthest thing from a heavy user.

So when I heard that ics ws being released for our phone my first thought was i hope that what she experienced won't be what i do as we have a better phone right?

Well I am sad to say on a stock but rooted rom I experience the same lack of battery life as her.

Now I am no beginner to Android and have changed all sorts of settings available and nothing syncs on its own and when I unplug my phone from charging in the morning I will need to plug my phone in at night before bed as my phone will be completely dead.

I have to say I am very disappointed in the battery life of thr the stock rom and hope some good kernels make it out to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aosimon:
Have you tried to find out which app/process is draining your battery? Better Battery Stats can help you identify what is using up your battery.

I had a big keep awake problem when i first installed stock ICS on my T989D. I did a full wipe of the phone and formatted my internal SD card (after backing things up of course), reinstall the same stock ICS and everything works great now. Battery life is about the same as before (stock GB w/ Synergy kernel), which is about 30 hours with moderate use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
Try CM 9. I get almost 2 days of battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kiz5:
I've never had better battery life personally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Though I am now on AOKP, I had great battery life on stock ICS as well. But, everything is subjective. How many email accounts are being synced? Do you have Facebook / Twitter / G+ updating every hour? Do you have news feeds continuously updating as well?

I have to agree with the poster above. Get Better Battery Stats and find the culprit draining your battery and work from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
biggest thing draining the battery is the screen.

you can literally watch the battery usage drop 10-15% in a period of 10 to 15 minutes which is absurd when its set to low.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
Wait for kernel development. Its underway as we speak. It will make a significant difference.

Some battery saving tips:

- use juicedefender and set it to aggressive mode.

- use romtoolbox or other programs to underclock cpu frequency.

- also try using telus stock ics. Very good battery life.
