lol you think you are smart :) by saing that...but you dont know everything...you haven't considered a lot of things.

Do you consider it is fair...for a user to spend 400€ for a high end device, only to find 3 months later that all the support (updates + apps) is gone?

Make no mistake...a smart dev will code for wp8 because he writes 1app and he gets 3, with very little effort. And so the apps for wp7 will stop flowing...and a phone with no apps is allmost useless. To demonstrate this...try reseting your phone and use it without any aditional apps for a month...see how that turns out.

More over, MS is refering to 2nd gen as legacy devices, as if my lumia 800 was released in 2005, and there is talk that wp 7.8 devices will be sold as a low end version of wp8 :) Thats exactly what i imagined when i made the switch to lumia :) and please tell me how would you feel if you phone, that you worked so hard to get, would be considered a low-end device in a few months :)

MS is making this even worse by not porting all the possible features to wp 7.8.

So pls excuse me if i vent my anger on MS and ppl like you that support its decision so blindly.

Yes i am very happy with my lumia and this will not change, but the public opinion will.

You must understand that the current wp users, as myself, made the decision to go with WP because we didnt like android and ios, even if everyone uses ios and android. We, as wp users where going to battle against ios and android showing that it can be done better. I saw great potential in the OS and trusted MS and Nokia to deliver. Insted the whole thing backfires and MS abandons its efforts on the OS and breaks all promises and trust to the users.

People like me are beging to realise the actual interst of a company, and this is sad because we trusted MS, they involve themselves in so many student projects and are not afraid to inovate, but they dont really care about the users, they just care about the money. They abandoned wm 6.5 now wp 7.8 ... Whats next :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
I myself have considered a lot of things about the WP7.8 update, but I didn't realize MS disallows the use of apps as soon as WP8 is released... oh, wait. it doesn't!

The WP7 Marketplace will not instantly disappear. You will still be able to install all of the apps already in the marketplace. Granted, the flow of apps *might* slow down but surely it wont stop instantly seeing as WP8 needs to gain adoption before being a reasonable mobile ecosystem to abandon WP7. But WP7 has a magnitude of apps already available to its disposal that cover a lot of functions so your phone will not be useless unless it is already useless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efektos:
Thats odd, I must admit... You claim that WP7 won't be updated, but later on you acknowledge that WP7.8 is coming - don't you feel you're contradicting yourself just a little bit?

First, I never realized that Nokia stated that the Lumia 800 is a high-end device as it was clearly NOT - it was a common knowledge that Nokia can and will introduce a more advanced device after the Lumia 800 (which was indeed the Lumia 900) and moreover - even the Lumia 900 was not supposed to be "high-end" but more of a "mid-high-end" as high-end devices which are TRULY high-end and are already sold in the market (with dual and quad cores) are not supported in the current version of WP7, and the MS-Nokia hardware leap will not occur until WP8 is released...

Ah, and BTW - A device which you just bought theoretically WILL BE old and maybe even low-end in just a few months. Thats the nature of this market, where the technology pace is leaping a whole generation in less than a year - you can NEVER win this race, you just have to buy the most suitable device for you at the moment and replace it after a year if you wish to keep yourself "up-to-date" hardware-wise...
[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
I may not be as smart as you since you seem to have a crystal ball that the rest of us lack. Please provide one link, just one will do, where Microsoft has said that "all the support (updates + apps) is gone?". You've been a member here since January so I'm confident you have read articles regarding the state of affairs with Windows Phone. In all that time you didn't catch one single article that stated that legacy devices were probably NOT going to get Apollo? That's a 50/50 proposition. If you like those odds then Vegas is your kind of town. Oh wait, that's right, you have a crystal ball. Face it, you saved up some money and were itching to go out and spend it immediately without considering that tech items change very rapidly.

Questions

Just few questions guys.

1. MSFT and other WP manufacturers are still selling WP7 devices. If you want a WP, are you gonna buy now? Why?

2. Is it worthy to buy WP7 at this time? Why?

3. I have WP7 2nd Gen, are you going to advise me to buy WP8 when it come out in market? why?

By the way, I have heard that Nokia dropped sales at its worst in 16 yrs after MSFT announced that they(MSFT) are not gonna update current WP device to WP8. Some manufacturers stopped WP7 production and will wait until WP8 came out. But some won't participate in WP8 trend.

4. What might be the reason why Nokia's sales went down in full blast? I believe some other manufacturers have the same scenario but not as same as what happened with Nokia.

5. What do you think why WP sales went down?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Frosty3k:
After the 7.8 startscreen lands on current 7.5 hardware you can wave BB to updates...thats it...MS will be all about the new wp8. Pls dont play stupid on this..you know what we are talking about.

a giro and a ff camera dosen't make a phone that much better :) 800 and 900 are almost the same, except the 900 was built primarily as an US device, while the 800 has the right form factor for EU and Asia.

I wont debate over what you said about the lumia 800 not being high end...its a matter of opinion. Actually I'll go into into in just a bit :)

For example i dont find the GSIII to be a better phone. I dosent matter how many CPUs you have and how much ram...its how you use those resources..and that GSIII still lags...but other users that are not so mad with android...might like it 10 times more than a lumia. It depends on what you like, and over the years, I realized its a loosing battle trying to convince someone that your point of view is the right one.

That being said, I think you are missing the point I was trying to make in my post, your reply is offtopic, and i have the feeling you are arguing just for the sake or arguing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] _Variable:
You said "4." 2 times. :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebautista:
i believe it will not "gone". But slowly will go down. If WP8 will release, developers will be divided. Some will do native (C/C++), some will stay in wp7 coz MSFT said WP7 apps will still run in WP8, and some will do both but of course eventually will stop supporting wp7 as time goes.

updated. thanks man!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Frosty3k:
I dont have a crystal ball, i have a brain, and im not sure which one of those two you're missing.

Think about it, what happened to WM6.5? how many updates did the OS get after it was ditched? not to mention that the store was closed. What do you think it will happen to WP7.x ? crystal ball anyone ? :p

I know how things run in the industry, I've been taking part in this for a long time, but i have never seen something fade this quickly. The lumia phones are not even a year old :)

who does this?? apple? i dont think so, you can still get new apps on a 3GS that is a 3 year old phone...google?? no...you can get all the stuff you like and more on a galaxy S or htc desire, 2 years old....and you will continue to get new stuff for much more.

look..its not about Apollo, its about the fact that wp8 apps cant run on wp7 hardware....this is fatal for 7.x

because of this the app well will dry out, the big players will code on wp8 and all the new stuff will be there...even if there are devs still loyal to wp7.x...the game is over for the 7.x market.

If you take into consideration other platforms, this wasn't supposed to happen...and thats why people are mad, because they feel used, we where like bait used just to get to 100000 apps, then thrown away ... you cant blame the people for feeling this way...I think they have every rite to do so, but hey should be mad on MS, and somehow i think Nokia will be more affected ...

continuity is key in this war of ecosystems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
In case you missed it, the 6.5 Marketplace shut down last month. Yes, May 2012. Sorry Sparky, your gloom and doom forecasts are way out of whack. I still use WM and it works the same, if not better than, as it did 3 years ago. There is no self-destruct button on these things once a newer system comes to town. Face it, technology moves faster than your 2-year contract. Why do I even bother wasting my time? I'm out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rajan17_88:
I own lumia 800. The OS 7.5 doesn't have the basic features like call timer in call history. Do you think we can live with that. I bought this phone trusting MS and nokia that they would bring in the proper updates. Now its all gone... I am a loyal user of windows phone. I am using windows phone since WM 2003 SE.

EDIT: WP 7 & 7.5 were only a beta test!!! They USED us

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

1. MSFT and other WP manufacturers are still selling WP7 devices. If you want a WP, are you gonna buy now? Why?

I will not buy a WP ever again. Only some one who doesnt know anything about the phone would buy Wp 7 now.

2. Is it worthy to buy WP7 at this time? Why?

NO

3. I have WP7 2nd Gen, are you going to advise me to buy WP8 when it come out in market? why?

We have spent a fortune buying lumia 800 and 900 we dont want to spend again atleast for 1.5 or 2 years

By the way, I have heard that Nokia dropped sales at its worst in 16 yrs after MSFT announced that they(MSFT) are not gonna update current WP device to WP8. Some manufacturers stopped WP7 production and will wait until WP8 came out. But some won't participate in WP8 trend.

4. What might be the reason why Nokia's sales went down in full blast? I believe some other manufacturers have the same scenario but not as same as what happened with Nokia.

They would have anticipated it but not this much. Maybe MS is playing in such a way to reduce the market share of nokia to buy it for cheap price

5. What do you think why WP sales went down?

Word of mouth. I tell everyone not to buy a WP
[Windows Phone 7 General] v_garg:
What are you going to buy instead?

Android? Never guranteed to upgrade and most apps only work on top end devices

iPhone? same UI as last 4 years, and one year old iPhone being left out of big features

The grass is not greener on the other side.

On the contary Nokia have the best record of updating phones out of any manufacturers out there. Even my Nokia 5800 which is now 4 years old still gets regular updates.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yaiba60:
1/ Android does many things. It is nearly complete feature-wise. My HTC G2 runs like a champ. Plus everybody knows about droid fragmented updates but they don't care, the thing is live, not beta.

2/ I hate iPhone because it is expensive and full of fanboism. Still it is better for 1 year old phone to miss only one or two exclusively new features than a six-month old to get only one new visual feature and miss out the functional rest. See the difference there?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rajan17_88:
I will even consider buying blackberry or iPhone just for their customer support which is way better than MS support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] johnny.g:
WP8 has a user base of zero right now - and is unlikely to be more than WP7 by the end of the year .. why will devs not write for wp7 as well as WP8 ? for the majority of apps the Silverlight/XNA is fine.. for the Apps for which this not true then they won't run anyhow.. not at all like WM6.5 - in that case none of the apps were x-compatible to WP7 and you had to start again.. clearly not the case here..

Oh, and what's with the "M$" nonsense - like Google & Apple don't care about $$$ ? - duh I forgot those guys channel all their profits into searching for a cure for cancer...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0ctrnl:
First, let me say that I've searched and searched and looked for all the info I can find about people having similar problems. I've yet to find anything that works for me, and I'm at my wit's end on this...

A few days ago I tried [unsuccessfully] to update CWM on a GTab. I can't get into recovery at all now (it just hangs), but this problem predates that.

The problem I have is that I cannot get any PC to recognize the GTab - in any mode - and I've tried 4 computers with various operating systems. I've tried Fedora, Ubuntu, Windows XP and Windows 7 and none of them will see the GTab at all. They won't see it with debugging on, with it off, in APX mode or anything.

I have gone through half a dozen cables and tried every USB port I've got. It just simply will not recognize the tablet in any way.

I'm toying with the possibility that the port might be damaged, but I can't think of a good reason why that would be the case. The tablet has been well taken care of, and all the other ports work just fine (audio, USB storage, SD).

So, has anybody else run into this issue and found a fix for it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Read: Only ClockWork recovery on boot

Check dmesg to see if tablet is detected: A self inflicted wound

Also: [Q] (really) bricked g-tab.

If you can't boot the tablet at all--into either ROM or recovery--, then there's nothing you can do if your USB isn't working. If you can boot into one of them, then there's hope.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0ctrnl:
I managed to get CWM installed (was my bad on trying to flash the wrong one to upgrade it anyway). It's always booted just fine into the ROM, and everything works but the USB connection to PC.

I am actually a Linux admin by trade, so I kept an eye on all pertinent system logs and outputs when I tried it on the Linux box. No dice.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Well, you have to be careful about these things. APX mode, for instance, only "connects" to the host PC once, so if you unplug and replug hoping to see USB device recognition messages from the Linux kernel, then you will be disappointed.

What about on the gTablet? Does the kernel print anything pertinent when the cable is connected to the host PC (enable USB debugging first)? Are there any other error messages or diagnostics?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0ctrnl:
That's the troubling part. I'm finding absolutely nothing. Nothing at all to indicate there's any kind of issue. My guess at this point is that the USB port must be physically broken. I can't see any other way to make sense of it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Here's one final suggestion: Open the gtab up and disconnect the battery. Wait 1 minute then reconnect the cable.

See if it helps. (It's for people who can't even boot the tablet into APX mode, but, try it before concluding that it is a HW problem).
[General Questions and Answers] dw1llow:
Does anyone know where I can access (or see a list of) apps I've already paid for?

Open play stores.. Go to my apps from options.. Then a list will load.. Now Swype your screen to the left.. You'll get a list of all install apps from the beginning of you using the phone..
[General Questions and Answers] dw1llow:
Hi,

This isn't quite what I'm looking for, because this lists ALL apps.

I just want a list of apps that I've paid for that are yet to be installed.

This was available in previous Google Store apps, where if you swipe left once it gives you list of all free apps you installed, and if you swipe left once more, it gives you a list of all the apps you've paid for whether they are installed or not.

For some strange reason they got rid of this valuable function. Now I've got no idea what apps I've paid for.
[General Questions and Answers] a4p-jms:
Automatic transaction restore

All transactions you did through the Play Store are kept by Google and when you reinstall the app after a wipe the app should automatically reinstate your license.

You should not be able to pay twice for the same app, unless the developer uses in-app billing with multiple product codes.

I had to wipe my phone completely clean last week and it automatically reloaded all my apps, including the ones I paid for and all was fine.

I hope this was helpful.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indigoextreme:
Hi, trying to find if anyone else has this problem with the YP-G1CW and whether there are any solutions? A Google search has pulled up similar problems on many other Galaxy devices but no definitive answer.

Rear camera on my device stopped working. Activating the stock camera app brings up a black screen with all the icons and settings which can all be toggled. Switching to front camera works fine.

Any other camera apps, eg: Camera 360, Facebook, all give a Force Close.

I've tried a number of suggestions from turning off GPS, reboot, to resetting to Factory settings. Nothing seems to make a difference. I'm using the standard Gingerbread ROM - the device is pretty much vanilla.

Anyone else experienced this on the SGP? :confused:

Yes, it's the Canadian model - capacitive menu, home, back buttons.

Purchased in Canada... Staples were carrying them.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok thanks. Regarding your question did you root your device and did something wrong with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indigoextreme:
It's a stock unit... never been rooted, no mods made to it.

You're actually pretty close to me... I'm just over the ON/QC border.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I don't know, if it worked before and don't work now it may be either a hardware defect. Try to exchange it.

Nice where you live?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indigoextreme:
Thanks. It was working fine. I had assumed it was a software issue rather than hardware and I had installed or uninstalled an app that was causing the problem, particularly with a number of other Samsung devices seemingly having the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indigoextreme:
For info, I called Samsung and got an interesting response - the tech support guy told me they had not had a Galaxy Player with this issue before, however they have had it often with Galaxy phones, so he gave me a service ticket straight away.

The authorised service centre is in St Laurent which is only a short drive from my office so I'll be dropping it off on my way to work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roubchi:
Hi.

Very annoying... I've got properly root'ed SGS3, with stocked ROM.

Originally I have all available Security - Lock Screen settings interface which allows me to use it NON-protected Lock (so unlock by swipe with no PIN).

However yesterday I have installed corporate Root CA (Certification Authority) certificate in the device, also just standard stock settings interface under Security. It asked me that it will set security settings on Lock Screen to require PIN. I was so stupid to tell "Yes". It installed the certificate and indeed it made me to set PIN. But, because I am using WidgetLocker-drawn Lock Screen with sliders etc, it is awful that default ugly PIN-require unlock screen interfere with this.

I noticed that however I do not need this Root CA cert - because I removed it (also via regular settings under Security section), rebooted device and corporate e-mail works perfectly without Root CA added to the device.

I removed cert but it has NOT unlocked Security - Lock Screen settings back.

I checked under Certificates UI - my corporate Root CA cert is not there at all, so all original stock, but now I cannot set PIN-required OFF back as it was originally, all UI is locked telling me that it is limited by administrator, encryption policy or certificate store. How to UNLOCK it back to stock configuration??

I know bad methods very well of course (WIPE and FLASH), but what about lass bad methods? Because I did not touch anything beside regular stock settings UI so dream to expect there's good method of returning Security Settings/Profile to "LOW" or In-Secure back as it was on stock...

Big thanks.
