Third party music applications and anything that needs to have a connection open, like an ftp client, a remote control, a browser, IM client etc.

Here is Europe, most cars are stick-shift. There are no fully automatic cars here. But mainly the expensive ones often come with electronically controlled dual clutch gearboxes. All of them allow to be controlled manually, when the driver wants to.

This is how it should be. Don't keep every application running in the background, but allow developers and/or users to benefit from the OS's multitasking capabilities when needed.

The same applies to other things:

- have an App Store, to make it easy to find/download/update applications, but allow users to side-load applications, when they want to

- make it as easy to use as possible, but leave it customizable

- don't force users to deal with file managers, but allow them to access the file system, when they want to

- provide a good environment for developing managed code, but allow developers to use native APIs, if they need them

- etc.

It *is* possible to keep things simple, while still providing a maximum of possibilities.

Again, there is no exuse for removing features. You can hide them, so that normal users don't have to deal with advanced options, task managers etc. - but if you have to remove them completely, in order to make your OS work, then your OS obviously sucks.

+1 RightO my friend.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
That's very good in ideal situation, a checkbox in the phone setting:

[ ] Enable advanced user settings

Anyway, probably Microsoft would like to have more control because they want to avoid software bugs or at least minimize the impact? Things like sandboxing, more control on native API, limiting background process.

I know ... I know ... on software world, bugs do exists. There is no such thing as software bug free.

I dont want to use task manager to kill Opera Browser, TMail.exe, Contact, HTC Album etc. ActiveSync still running when it is NOT needed anymore.

My wife keep complaining with her HTC Touch Dual battery life.

When I checked, there are some applications unnecessary running in the background. I told her to kill them using task manager ... Oh well, she is not geek like me.

There are tweaks or workarounds (like ProcessKiller, ASyncKiller).

But why?

Are those developers not capable? Or the OS (WinMo 6.x) does sucks?

I tend to think the second ... or both?

And I am glad the way Microsoft move in WP7 to "fix" WinMo 6.x so it can be used by regular users, not only for geeks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Theoretically, the keeping connections open situation could be solved by a properly implemented server-side push mechanism. If done right, it could be superior in terms of battery life, although would have negative implications such as server downtime pulling down the whole thing etc. Currently keeping connections open is problematic because you need to prevent device from turning off. But it's not quite black and white. Choice would be preferrable of course.

Agree, but I can also see a point in being strict about it in the beginning because you need to populate the app store.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pidsw:
The system itself has full multitasking support.

Third Party apps need to be "white listed" in order to be able to do anything significant when they become "backgrounded", i.e. if a user launches another app while the first one is still running.

If memory is low, background apps can get killed.

If you have specific permissions set, you will not get killed (this will require MS approval or unsigned approval and an unlocked phone).

The rationale here is that many third party apps want as much RAM and CPU as possible, they do not want to allow other apps to slow them down. MS wants to please the app developers.

The big question is how heavily they will enforce policies like restrictions on background processing and only running NET 4 based apps on Silverlight or XNA.

If you cook your own ROM you can do whatever you like with the policies.

BTW: The OS is fully capable of paging files to storage, so runnning out of RAM will be similar to what it is on Windows - lower perf due to storage transactions/paging.

Network Bands2
Europe:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

I know its not under HSPA but it being GSM 850/1900 thought maybe it would.. my thought though and it maybe just stupidly true that it means it will work on att 2g.

:rolleyes:

[Nexus One General] rotohammer:
I have a Telus Australia Touch HD that does 850/1900 and I get 3g on AT&T, because of the 850mhz. Theres no 850 in the 3g frequency set of the Nexus One, only for the 2g frequency set.
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
HSPA/WCDMA = 3G/3.5G

GSM = 2G/2.5G

The maximum level of service it will receive on AT&T is EDGE (2.5G), at least for this model. There may be a version of the Desire coming to AT&T including the 3G bands.
[Nexus One General] dahui9:
I figured as much, maybe the supposedly rumored nexus one FCC slight model change will have 3g for ATT. That was my only reason to possibly get the Desire over my amazingly fast nexus

[Nexus One General] glyndal:
Telstra has confirmed the Desire with NextG (3.5G) which is on 850. Should be out early april :)
[Nexus One General] dahui9:
grrr. now its decision time...

-Charlie
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Keep in mind an imported Desire will probably cost a small fortune, not that the N1 isn't expensive (unlocked), but I'm sure the Desire will be a good bit more.

To give you some idea, an imported HD2 from Australia (works on 850 3G with AT&T, after being unlocked) runs about $750-800 at the lowest I've seen, with shipping. I'm not sure what other costs are involved when you factor in customs, etc. Then of course for warranty you'd have to rely on shipping back and forth between Australia, which is just a hassle.

I have purchased an imported phone previously (Telstra Touch HD), but I don't think I will be doing that again.

Hmmm... Seems like you do not have a compiler installed... are you running this in Ubuntu? If so, what version?

Here are the packages I use when building:

Try running that... It will only install the ones that are missing...

thanks again for a reply.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 64bit

[G1 General] Vermithrax:
I agree, seems like a path issue... Try to find the following directory in your Ubuntu file system:

/home/<your username>/<your Android Dir>/<kernel>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-X.X.X/bin/arm-eabi-

If it is there, then you should be good to go... Try to run make like this:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/<your username>/<your Android Dir>/<kernel>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-X.X.X/bin/arm-eabi-

Let me know if there are still problems.

[G1 General] Vermithrax:
Apologies, I did not even pay attention to the fact that your were running a 64bit version of Ubuntu... From what I have read, this has not been tested too much and there are additional steps that need to be taken... Try this:

Get required packages:

$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl sun-java5-jdk zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev

Set default java to be used:

$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

Set up a symlink to the X11 binaries:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib32/libX11.so

Then try building. If your build fails, complaining about a missing "run-java-tool" run this:

$ export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME

Let me know how it goes...

You need to read the flashing guide thread.

Basic steps are;

Install Hard SPL (First)

Find a ROM w/ 2.5 and flash away.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cmstackar:
If for some reason you will not flash your ROM(you should do it) here is a thread for getting it working on the TG01. Try the files on your TD2 and see if they work:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Jaeden09:
If you do a flashing, will you lose everything you have on it? IE text messages, and contacts that aren't saved to my sim card? I use microsoft myphone to back everything up, Can I just use that to transfer everything back to the phone? Or will it not work with a flashed rom?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
If you haven't flashed your radio before, flashing a custom ROM won't reflash your radio.

As far as flashing different radios, the only way you can brick is if you flash a radio from another device w/o being CID unlocked.

You can flash any Topaz radio. The first thing to check to see if the radio is compatableis to see if it affects your camera opperation, then check GPS, WiFi, etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Jaeden09:
Do you recommend flashing radios? I don't have any problems with service or anything where I'm at...

Both are great chefs but I prefer Dutty's ROMs as I have used his ROMs for a long time over several devices.

His are always close to stock for stability but still highly configurable.

Either way, I suggest Max manila for your theme, you won't be disappointed. Energy's come with Max Manila but it can still be installed on Duttys.

Also, you lose alot of functionality with Titanium compared to Sense.

I haven't upgraded from Dutty's HG R6 because its still working great for me.

I'm running a stock Nexus, unrooted.

My Nexus' screen just turned on by itself. A text from someone I know I have the contact number for came up without the name.

I opened my contacts and there weren't any numbers listed there, everything was completely empty, the favorites, call log, all the same, empty.

Strangely enough, the entire time the sync icon has been on in the notification bar.

At the time of typing this my gmail contacts are coming back, and now my facebook contacts with their pictures, but the call log, and favorites aren't there. Also the changes I made previously with merging contacts, deleting contacts, etc were not returned.

Could someone explain what has happened? Has anyone else experienced this as well? It's almost like there was an outage, or a sync error with my contacts, and as a result everything was deleted.

Hi, here its another doubt...

When i call to the cell phone company to know my credit, the IVR machine answer the call. So, it says: If you need xxx press 1, if you need xxxx press 2, etc etc

The problem its that i cant do nothing during the call!! I press "keypad", "end call", "contacts" etc etc and nothing happends.

The only way to end the call its pressing the no-touchable buttom wich have a "little house"

I really want to know my credit, use the keypad to view contacts or to press 1, 2, 3 etc if i need it!!!!

Someone help me please!!!

Just a thought, does your dialer have a "curtain" that you swipe down to access the keypad button?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] yemo28:
Hi Bruce Inman! you help me with another problem!! i hope you can help me in this too!!

Yes, there is a "curtain" but in the screen appears "slide down for more options" (like hold, add call, note, etc) and down this frase appears "keypad" (in the left) and "end call" (in the right)

Recently i turn off the phone for a wile and i CAN use the keypad (i entered to the menu of an IVR machine without any promblem) and slide down the "curtain". I end the call touching the scree in the "end the call". All was OK!!

When i end the call, the phone do not work good for 5 seconds (that happends allwas, i dont know way... after end a call, the phone do not work properly) When the phone came back to normality i try to make another phone call to use the keypad and i returned to the begining!!! :mad: I can do nothing touching the screen... no kaypad, no curtain, no end call, NOTHING!!

I hope someone knows the problem to give me a solution!!

Sounds like an issue with your dialer.

A hard reset or flashing another ROM (assuming you understand how) will fix your problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] yemo28:
Bruce Inman, i did 2 resets but i dont know if were a hard or soft reset. One was pressing the red buttom and the other was in "start>settings>all settings>System>clear the storage

However, today im going to call the seller. If I cant change the phone for a new one, I will try to change ROM
