i was sure it would have 512 min, i cant see why 256 is there, even if its doing minimal multi tasking in the hubs and running a heavy app or game it will slow down
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mazzarin:
I completely agree. I hope this isn't MS dropping the ball!

I believe the Palm Pre has 256MB and it definitely stutters even when not multitasking. I haven't tried the Pre Plus but I've heard it's much smoother with 512MB.

OTOH, the iPhone 3GS has 256MB of RAM, and you can bet to see an upgrade to AMOLED and possibly more RAM come June!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ganondolf:
the next iphone in june will have between 400 and 500 mb of ram
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mazzarin:
There you have it. I thought these phone standards were supposed to futureproof these phones at least for a little while.

If LG/Samsung have decided 256 is sufficient, I'm hoping the leaked specs on the TD3 are true (basically a HD2 with a smaller screen.)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Hopefully it's not a real big problem. The OEM's will put whatever into the device that makes it run the best (within cost) so maybe if 256 gets sluggish most of them will come with 512 or more.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Yeah, after all, it's 64MB for WM, and I have much more in my HD2. Memory is cheap these days, so I'd expect OEMs would throw it in like camera makers throw in megapixels (except that RAM is even cheaper, and sells well, too).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AndyDavidson:
I wish it didn't bother me but it does...

Is Charlie Kindel really working for Apple? Or Google/Android?

It's not a smartphone OS anymore it's a feature phone. No memory cards, no USB mode, no file system... Only installs through MarketPlace… They’re giving us Facebook, XBox Live instead...

All the good stuff I've got on my TP2 wouldn’t even be allowed on WP7S... Rhodium Keyboard Controller - no way, TodayAgenda unlikely, all the customisations and cabs here on xda... no more!

Did you see the article about Anna and Miles - the fictional couple WP7S is designed with in mind? Life maximizers!!!? Oh god! The only CAB’s they’d have ever seen were big yellow ones…

…and she works in PR… the future of Windows Mobile is based on what a fictional character who works in PR… enough said…

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ht..._and_miles_the_adam_and_eve_of_windows_p.html

My WM6.5 TP2 means I don’t need a netbook or laptop so much: this night I’m using Total Commander to FTP into a website, download files and edit the html using MobilePad. Also backed up some of the website files to the microsd card. Downloaded some other files, then later connected it via USB mode to main PC to transfer all the files. Imagine that on WP7S – very unlikely!

DIDN’T do any Facebooking, Twittering or Life Maximizing… just some useful website edits and generally getting some stuff done.

But I guess if Anna or Miles don’t have to do this then it don’t really matter…

Give us a choice; have WP7S DumboPhone Mass Market Edition and another on we can actually get some work done on… oh WM6.5? Talk about killing that one dead in it's tracks...

I wish this didn’t bother me, but it does…

Take care,

Andy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mazzarin:
Unfortunately, both in the PC industry and in the mobile industry, we've seen many OEMs short-change the hardware and the end user doesn't know any better - just that the phone 'stutters and it sucks.'
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hoss_n2:
windows xp runs on 128 ram and it is certanly heavier than wp7 . note( good programmed os consumes less ram ) and that is the case with wp7 needs lesd ram than wm6
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Well there is always going to be the OEM's that want to short change EU for a cheaper cost device but with the minimum specs as is, they won't beable to go completely overboard. The minimum specs should provide a decent experience but we all know that we will want the power house devices and we will know when they arrive.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Ouch this one hurts. Added:

Engadget - Windows Phone 7 Series won't have copy and paste
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sm3rtlag3l:
No copy and paste. WP7 is a time machine that brings you back to 2007.

I rather stay in 2010.

Someone should have told Microsoft to use a newer version of iPhone to copy!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gom99:
I lol'd when I read that. I'm hoping it was a mis-communication, or that the backlash they get from that makes them move it up further on their backlog. I refuse to believe it would take a one of their developers more than a few weeks to implement clipboard features, lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Now, if this is true they can go f*ck themselves up their idiotic a*ses instead of getting my money. I can tolerate a lot, but this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
"No more flashing new roms in order to fix a phone that should have been working correctly out of the gate"

RightO!!

Hope it stays that way......

Regarding the inability to view the OS, one glaring drawback of the iphone os is not knowing what file(s) is taking up space and how to delete them...

Is this possible with WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sm3rtlag3l:
no

Not when you don't get freakin' copy/paste out of the box.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chiks19018:
FKKKKkkkkkkk
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sm3rtlag3l:
"No more flashing new roms in order to fix a phone that should have been working correctly out of the gate"

HAHAHA

- no multitasking

- no copy/paste

- no file system access

- marketplace censorship

- ...

AND YOU CALL THAT "WORKING CORRECTLY OUT OF THE GATE"???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] go0gle:
Why are they even calling this a smart phone OS ? It isn't! iPhone wannabe is the right name for it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JediFonger:
no copy&paste just closed it for me again =(. so frustrating up and down. i'll check it out in 2011 or 2012 and see how far they'll come.

this is ridiculous. i need Enterprise-grade power for my consumer stuff.

Windows iPhone 7 Series

And it is worse than iPhone :(

I will now seriously think about Android. HTC Desire?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chichoko:
I was pretty much neutral to the whole WMP7 thing.. Didnt want to care until it came out.. But the ability to copy/paste not implemented.. I mean.. wtf M$?!?! xD Damn I just want to see how this turns out :)

*note* to any M$ dev.. we dont need another iPhone ya know??? B-)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Toss3:
Yes and just for your knowledge WP7 is going to have copy and paste and multitasking. Marketplace censorship is needed so there's no way getting around that, but it seems to work fine for the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Would you mind sharing the source of that information?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] havox22:
+1 are you at MIX did u have a special 1 v 1 with microsoft or is this all just your interpretation of what you have read so far?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SonicFlare:
WP7 dev undercover :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Toss3:
Huh there seems to have been an update since I checked this site last night and it seems that copy and paste won't be implemented.

What kind of bull**** is that?

Still I wouldn't consider it a major thing for me as I mostly use it for copying URLs, phone numbers and Addresses which I still should, hopefully, be able to do.

As for multitasking check this post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I remember them talking about how the phone will pick up on urls, addresses, numbers, etc within text. So hopefully when it does that you have the option to put it in a message, e-mail, or word. If this happens then what I use copy and paste for is taken care of and I won't have any issues.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
No this doesn't solve the issue, although the features you are talking about are nice and useful. In Word or while composing emails you need to rearrange text sometimes, and there are cases when you just need to transfer data between apps (I've written about it elsewhere here).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Yes I hear what you're saying. I'd very much rather just have some sort of copy and paste. I think if there is a big enough uproar about it then Microsoft will have to impliment it. I honestly don't think it could be hard to add that functionality. Maybe they just don't know the best way to approach how to select text.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Selecting text isn't an easy thing to do on touch screens, I agree. iPhone sucks at it, WM is even worse. HTC are on to something in how they aproached it in their Messaging app, though implementation is flaky. So they have something to look at, and it's close.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I think that's the problem. If they are going to add copy and paste it has to work well with just the use of your finger. In 6.5 we can still just pull out the stylist but we won't beable to do that anymore. I hope they can find a good approach to it so we can have it before it's release of maybe soon after if not havnig it becomes a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
They seem to misunderstand the 80/20 rule here. If they think (or know for a fact) that 80% of users won't need the feature at all it means that they shouldn't lose sleep over it, true. They should indeed focus on these use cases and make better ways to help users solve their problems like calling a number from the web browser. Yet a "plug" such as copy/paste will easily cater to the rest 20%, they just don't need to overinvest in the feature.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I think you're right. As it is now a bet 80% of the users will just benifit from the OS being able to pick up on phone numbers and addresses with the UI for you to interact with and the eliminated the need for copy and paste (for most instances).

They just haven't had enough time to work on this OS. I believe they are just trying to get it out as quick as possible while keeping it as stable as possbile so no EU will have a bad expeince. Once it is released, in my opinion, they will have more time to focus on added features that will take the OS to the next level and we will get those feature when they are fully ready to be deployed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Judging by what that Brix or Bricks or Braxton said, it doesn't seem like they omitted it in a hurry, he put it more like it's a conscious longer term choice. In addition, it's not that difficult to implement, the underlying OS is WinCE and has it already I'm sure.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ganondolf:
i went on my pc today and looked on engadget.com to see u wont have copy and paste which was a shock but i hear that people are hearing different things and its not as clear cut as engadget.com is making out.

from what im hearing is that copy and paste may be included but not a launch.

here is a good read:

http://www.neowin.net/news/interview-windows-phone-7-battery-life-copypaste-multitasking-and-more

it also talks about multi tasking and how and what will work
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I don't think anything is clear cut right now period. Microsoft is just now releasing what they think the devices should and shouldn't do. I'm sure with feedback everything is subject to change. If they market doesn't like something they aren't going to keep selling it just cause they are stubborn. Now that we've heard from them it's time they hear from us and we will see what this turns out to look like closer to release date.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Added some news and engadget posted a preview video of the latest build.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
Someone should make that "hitler" parody about WP7 !!! :D

That would be really funny ...

Here is for the iPad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnT0zp8Ya4

I have no idea how to make this kind of video unfortunately.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Wow that that was pretty funny. I'm sure we will see some stuff like this come out about WP7 considering since microsoft i pissing off a lot of geeks with what they are doing. Who you think makes stuff like this? Not the life maximizers lmao!

PocketNow seems to thinkg WP7S might have copy paste in the underlying code. Although it could just be Windows 7 taking care of it. Added:

PocketNow - Windows Phone 7 Series Has Copy & Paste?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
How would they not have copy/paste, it's a WinCE OS. They just don't implement a UI for it. That's what makes me so pissed off really.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
Well atleast if it's already in the code a quick update will roll it out. I hope it doesn't take that long before it happens though. Hopefully they hear our feedback and decide to put it back in before release.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
Oh well, I gave up ...

I just placed an order for HTC Desire :) According to the store, they will have first stock on April 7, 2010 (413 GBP including shipping cost).

SD card, file manager, Opera Mini, and Flash 10.1 ... Oh joy ...

I hope WP7 will success ... I will still following the news and discussions, but I don't think this WP7 is the right choice to replace my old HTC Kaiser, at least for this first release.

Probably WP7.1 or WP8 ... I give it two years ... Yeah, I will be waiting two years (because I normally replace my phone every 2 years) ... :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sm3rtlag3l:
Welcome me to the club! Fully agree with you and just ordered a Desire as well.

Hope WP will regain the power that WM had but that will take at least two years, then we can think about a new phone again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I've played wth andriod. I just don't really like it so I'll still be looking for a bright future with WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pilgrim011:
Good luck with your future WP7S feature phone.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TomasNM:
Hi guys.

I am looking for a solution,that can enable me to use some time-dependent procedures in my software,while the device is in standby mode.

The typical example is the alarm clock.

I want to develop for me a chime application,that will play the sound each hour,even tough the device "sleeps".

Can I achieve it in Embedded Visual C++ and can anyone show me the way,how to?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kosherpig:
I think you should check out CeRunAppAtTime and CeSetUserNotificationEx APIs. What about telling them to launch some sort of notification application (sending a message), trigger a named event ol play your sound?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] welki1979:
When I wrote RockClock I used the SmartDeviceFramework (OpenNetCF).

It has RunAppAtTime to run the app and wake the device and also the LargeTimerInterval which tricks the phone into thinking there's an incomming call and wakes it up from almost any state.

The largetimerinterval timer also continues to run when the device is in standby whilst normal timers are suspended until the device wakes up from standby.

Used with SetSystemPowerState it all works well.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TomasNM:
Well,thank you for your suggestion.

Can you please provide me some working example code?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] welki1979:
There's this one that will power on the device completly (C#):

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]

protected extern static UInt32 SetSystemPowerState(String pwsSystemState, UInt32 StateFlags, UInt32 Options);

protected static readonly UInt32 POWER_STATE_ON = 0x00010000;
protected static readonly UInt32 POWER_FORCE = 0x00001000;

SetSystemPowerState(null, POWER_STATE_ON, POWER_FORCE);

Info on waking the device using notifications: http://objectmix.com/dotnet/98395-waking-up-device-specific-time-vb-net.html# - using this you can play a sound at a specific time too

Hope you find these useful...let us know how you get on. I'm knew nothing of .NET before January and learnt a lot of things used in my alarm clock from

the pages listed above.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TomasNM:
Hello.

I remembered about this question,but I found following:

Maybe I can use this function to power device on,but my software doesn't know,when that should be powered on.

I cannot use timer,because standby mode disables timer in my app,so I cannot monitor the time (each second).

Any solution for this please?
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Hmmm, the setting under text input - symbol lock, what does that do? :o :confused:
[HD2 General] ps0209:
It is for when you press the 12# button on the keyboard, and select a symbol, it will not revert to the qwerty keyboard unless you press 12# again. If it is off, it will let you enter one symbol and return to the qwerty. Hope that helps...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Yamifanatic:
hopefully there are some of you guys that can help me out

I did search the forum but didnt get the answers i needed

today my touch screen went out on my tmo branded tp2 and i am going to send it in for a warranty exchange. I need to know where all the water damage stickers are first, to my knowledge it has never seen water but you never know

so of the ones i have found so far there is one on the bottom of the battery and on on the inside lip when you take out the battery on the sd card side. there also appears to be one in the top left corner( small black circle where a screw should be)

i am wondering if there are any that i missed?

also what color are they supposed to be?

please help me out i love this phone and hoping that itll be covered under warranty so i dont have to use my insurance

pictures would also be very helpful

Thanks

Nick
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] token2k6:
nick, that sucks man! sorry I can't help you with the location, but I'm almost 100% certain that these stickers are basically like litmus paper. They are normally white, once wet, they turn light pink, or a heavy dose of water, full pink :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] miker2431:
The water damage sticker is underneath the battery on the inside lip. It'll be a white sticker unless your phone is water damaged.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sik96teG:
yea the sticker is white and turns pink with a lil water damage or if it got steamed up if u left it in the bathroom with u and it turns red when it gets dropped in water there is only one you can see on the device which is on the wall below the bar codes. As long as that is fine and there are no broken pieces and u have stock rom back on the device and locked u will be fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] heygrl:
They ask you to check them before, of course you can lie if they are pink since they can't tell over the phone but of course you'll see that nice hefty charge on your bill later. I did a warranty exchange with no problems for the SD slot not taking any of my cards, and they just asked me to take the battery out and look at that moisture sensor.
[Omnia II General] WillymFrucht:
Hello,

I had the HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) for about one year. Since I destroyed it, I'm searching for a new phone and the Samsung Omnia II is my favourite. I have some questions about functionallities I liked on my old phone.

1. Is it possible to change the Start-Screen like on MaxManilla? This means, I'd like to have

* Date & Time

* Weather

* Alarm-Clock

* The next 3 appointments

* Notifications about new e-mail, SMS and missed calls

* A program launcher with 5 programs

on ONE screen.

2. Is there a program to see the whole communication (E-Mails, SMS, Calls and, maybe, facebook) with one person?

3. Do the applications in TouchWiz share Data like in Sense? I.e. do I see the weather on the calendar, can I click on the adress of someone to see it on Google Maps or can I start a note while a call, which automaticaly fills in the data of this call?

It would be very nice, if a advanced user can answer this question!

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] bruneema:
on my bluetooth carkit it is mentioned that only (very) old htc phones are connectable to a brand new 2010 PSA car.

What makes the bluetooth for these phones different from the (new) actual phopnes ones:

P3450: 1.11.406.1B FRE

P3470 sw: 1.13.73.1 FRE

S710 sw: 1.16.406.1

Is this because of another bluetooth stack? Or just because the COD is different? The carkit gives AV HF as main structure.

Strange because the only actual phone listed is the apple iphone 3G/16GB sw: 2.2.1 (5H11)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raidzero:
Hello all. I am being driven crazy not being able to make this work. I am trying to set all my theme elements in my ROM via registry in the kitchen, so as not to have to wait a few seconds for the TSK (Livven SimpleGloss Blue) to be formally set via RunCC. I can get everything working except for one color. Where I have it set to be 0000ff (blue) in my TSK, when the ROM boots it is an awful teal color. This of course goes away as soon as I go tot start>settings>home and set the theme. What I have done so far is take the TSK, open in WinCE Cab Manager, export all its reg's and files and put the registry into an app.reg and files into the files section of my EXT package (I use platformrebuilder in my kitchen). My registry entries look exactly like my TSK registry (I compared with windiff). What am I missing here? I hae heard that there might be issues with exporting the long binary regstry values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color... But I think I exported them correctly? (they are identical when copied and pastes and when exported from ceregeditor from the running ROM..)

Any idea?

THANKS!

EDIT: I have removed all the values in mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml.
