[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
CustomROMs and Unlocks enable you to run Apps that are not possible with the official APIs. Bazaar is an alternate Marketplace that provides the possibility to centrally discover and install those Apps not possible in the official Marketplace. Bazaar does not allow you to pirate applications from the official Marketplace.

Its people like you that have already destroyed the PC games market something I personally loved and could out perform any console (eyefinity anyone, not to mention far more hardcore graphics etc). Now the Pirates are doing what they can to rip off the phone market. I mean how cheap is this world??? If you cant afford a couple quid then maybe you should get a job!

Im waiting on this answer too, thinking about moving from my Titan to a HTC 8S, but only if I can sideload my apps, I have 3 I have wrote and probably will never send to market (never get round to polishing them up) and REALLY dont wanna pay $99 for the use of my own apps on my own phone, as soon as this information hits Ill pre-order a 8S

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Companies will be able to install Apps from outside the Marketplace but we don't know yet how that will be managed. If I had to guess I'd be pretty sure that there will be no free sideloading, given that Windows 8 doesn't allow sideloading of Metro-Apps either without a developer certificate (though they are issuing them for free at the moment).

Microsoft will be allowing third-party developers to build Live Apps. These Live Apps can integrate with the lock screen, and also integrate into the new Windows Phone 8 Wallet and other hubs on the phone. The ability to choose among three different sizes of tiles as part of Windows Phone 8 OS.

is its mean that i can install a third-party app?

if soo i want to install waze, this one: http://meirtsvi.wordpress.com/

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
You can't install Apps from outside the Windows Phone Store unless your Apps are signed with a specific Certificate that you only get after being verified as a company.

Pirates destroyed PC Gaming?

WTF are you on about the PC market is doing better than ever right now and it's driving future business models for all platforms. I mean not only is there a Free 2 Play revolution going on but it's been a platform for mods to drive sales for games like Dayz has sold at least 1 million copies of ArmA 2 as a result. On top of that we have Steam which is currently the best digital distribution software for any platform and it has created this whole Sales trend. Then we have the flash games and all the casual Facebook games which I would be has more people playing than any platform alone.

The PC is just fine, the strongest platform out there and brings in the most revenue. The only difference is people tend to think of game sales just being retail box copies. Also lets not forget the fact that people who pirate media buy more media than people who don't, they just cannot afford to buy everything because it is their hobby and it would become so expensive. For example my friend buys all his games on his Xbox 360 but he's only bought 2-3 games this year and he doesn't know how to torrent, where as I torrent every game to try it out, yet I've bought over 20 games on Steam alone this year and some how I'm labeled as a pirate. Most of my friends torrent games and again they all buy far more games than any other group of gamer I know of.

So please put that piracy bull**** argument away, it was old 5 years ago and it's even older now.

Lets not forget the PC mod and indie scene has produced some of the best developers out there today. When a developer tries to deal with Microsoft or Sony they have to go through all these legal and restriction issues with them and wait around for ages. When their games are released they hardly get any coverage and are forgotten quickly. I think you'll find indie developers find far more success on Steam or even their own sites like Minecraft or Project Zomboid.

Start using bing rewards. you earn points for searching with bing, and you can use those points & redeem them for MS points, amazon $$, Starbucks, and now you can use them to but wp8 apps/games. This is better that pirating because you get updates on time, and if its an xboz game you can get achievements.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
You will not get people here to agree with you that it would be great to pirate software. Most games on WP7 and WP8 have a Trial-Mode anyway that allows you to play the start of the game to check if it would be interesting to you - actually ALL XBox Live titles in the Marketplace have that.

Aside from that your price argument falls to pieces really quickly in the Smartphone sector given that most games don't cost more then 3$. That's less then you pay for a beer at a bar. We're not talking about expensive Software here. Piracy is especially bad for small developers, given that they don't earn much to begin with.

Modding is a completely different topic that does not have too much to do with piracy. Many games actually have their own APIs available to allow for those extensions. This has nothing to do with unlicensed copying.

It always amazes me to see people buy phones for $ 600 and then get annoyed when they are told they should shell out $ 1 - 3 for a game every once in a while.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
I plan to switch to simple mobile, and im eyeballing the 920. i could care less about pirating windows app but i would like to know if there is any form of emulator apps, or perhaps a way to sideload those like you can in android?

my concern regarding pricing is fairly simple, on android i can get angry birds for free, pay 99 cents and get adfree versions. on iOS its 99 cents, with windows devices you pay 5 bucks and it doesnt seem like its updated nearly as often. im only using this as an example i wont be bother to play angry birds, wheres my water is much better :P. i wont pirate the apps that arent IMO worth while but i sure as hell wont buy em either.

and before anyone comments on if im cheap or not etc, ive spent at least 80 bucks on various android apps the most expensive one being 7 bucks for a fairly useful app
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
As was already stated above: there is no sideloading on WP8 unless you have a company certificate or have your device developer unlocked. There have been homebrew Emulators for WP7 but given that the inclusion of ROMs would have been a violation of the ROM-owners copyrights those Emulators were not allowed in the Marketplace.

Angry Birds btw. is 99 Cents at the moment in the Marketplace. Some months ago they dropped the prices on several XBox Live games. Indie games have regularly been at the 99 Cent price point even before that.

Nobody takes issue with people saying they won't pay for an App they don't enjoy and just won't use it for that reason. The problem is that there are many people around that say they won't buy into a phone because it is so expensive by itself and they don't want to pay for the Apps they use on it for that reason.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
interesting, why would they have included roms? with teh android versions you download the app and put the files on your sdcard. and thats what i was wondering more about, i have a dreamspark account due to my student status and i believe at the time it allowed you to unlock your wp7 device?

i havent truly looked throught any of teh marketplace and ive only loaded up my recent install of win8 and saw angry birds space was 5 bucks, which suits me fine i have plenty of those kind of "smartphone" games on my tablet. im more interested in getting better quality xbox live enabled games, those im willing to drop the money on :P

i think its actually a valid point, i mean im fairly vested into android and for me to uproot and switch OS' means that day one after i drop x amount of dollars on a new device if i want any of teh apps that i used to have back i have to go and repurchase them all. thanks for all the info, as i dont really know a whole lot about wp8 :)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
You still get one year of Dev Center membership for free with your Dreamspark Account. They would have had to include the ROMs given that there were no exchangeable SD-Cards or an accessible Filesystem in WP7.

You'll be needing root explorer for this.

Go to system/media and there will be some folders like notifications, ringtones.

[Galaxy Note II General] nitrowing:
I've been playing with my Note2 for a couple of hours, was sort of sad to turn my Note1 off....

Well, what's to be said?

I'm not disappointed but I can't say I'm over-whelmed with a years worth of development and technology.

I did my best to stick with the standard home but ended up back on LauncherPro - it gives much better use of the screen size, being able to resize widgets, customize the 15(x2) dock icons etc...

The screen difference is noticeable to me - bigger screen and lower resolution is... not best.

There is an issue with using App2SD in that it believes there is no external SD, EStrong's file explorer need redirecting to the external SD too.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS (GT-S6102B) and I cannot connect it with to USB storage, sometimes it works (5%), sometimes it doesn't (95%). I don't know if the problem is about drivers or what! :mad:

I Used a toothpick and cleaned the micro USB slot and pried it up a bit on my old sgh 1727r which would only connect 10% of the time and now it connects about 80%.. I hope it helps if not it was at least worth a try.. oh and it always charged just didnt connect to the computer always

My friend threw her phone on charge for the whole night and woke up this morning to find her battery level low. This isn't the first time it happened either. What could cause this?

P.S. the screenshot was taken right after the phone was pulled off the charger
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Try a different charger? Also, if the phone was charged by USB, use the wall charger instead. Some USB ports may cut power when the computer is asleep, etc. For instance, I usually connect my phone to my PC using the USB ports on my monitor (just because they are conveniently located). Those ports get shutdown when the computer goes to sleep, which I always forget.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DroiDAddicT14:
Well she plugs into the wall, never the computer. And the charger she uses is the charger that came w/ the phone. If its the charger that could possibly be the issue then I'll tell her to get it swapped out at an at&t store but I really don't think that's the issue honestly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Chargers can definitely just crap out, even if new. MicroUSB chargers are pretty common, and I've used ones for other devices (like my Motorola Bluetooth headset) on my One X just fine. If you have another MicroUSB charger laying around, its worth checking (just to eliminate the charger as the cause) rather than having to run to the store.

Otherwise, its possible there is something wrong with the microUSB jack on the phone itself, or some other hardware or software problem with the phone. If the charger is not the problem, backup personal data and factory reset the phone. If the problem still occurs, I'd recommend getting a warranty replacement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DroiDAddicT14:
I appreciate it man, will do
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] denversc:
Can you confirm that there was a "lightning bolt" in the battery icon in the status bar? If it's charging, there should be a lightning bolt in it. Check when you plug in the charger and just before unplugging it. If the lighting bolt is missing then most likely there is no current going into the device to charge the battery. It could also be a bad battery if the charger is working fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:

[HTC EVO 3D] nitzanj:
Probably too late, but if someone else encountered this problem:

CallApp's latest couple of versions fixed a lot if call screen issues, especially for HTCs.

In CallApp settings go to 'Call-screen' under Customize and uncheck 'Full screen' (This is different from the 'medium' settings that was before). This gives you a floating window during incoming calls and the underlying phone buttons are enabled. Note you can resiae this screen by dragging the little handle below the floating window.
