[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PCBiased:
Hello,

I am having issues with TrueCaller again. I can't seem to get it to block calls. I add a number to this list and all it does when the number calls is inform me the number is spam. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Dutch HD2 won't show any countries

Hi, I just downloaded the app and installed it on my HD2 but can't see any countries in the drop down menu, it's blank. Atleast it is if I install it directly on my phone. If I install it on my storage card and I try to pick a country I only see one line in the drop down menu and it says (something like) "§▀ÛãË¦ã>Èµ*yÕ,Ùa▓S4Q5T/6µ894EN├↨╗".

Zup with that?

Hello, I'm sorry for english, I'm Brazilian.

I wonder if you will make for some Versions for Brazil?

Congrats by the application.

hi i am asking if their will be any support to Egypt soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spankeey:
KPN = the problem???

Hmmm I see your from The Netherlands as well and have KPN as a carrier. I to have KPN.

Could this be the source of the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hector_huerta:
Me too!!! I would love to have this in Mexico
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
Would it be possible to make this app compatible with S2U2? As of now it is covered by S2U2s Caller ID Screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
KPN is allways the source of problems... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
When it says it does a reverse lookup does it really have its own special sources for a look up? Or does it used basic thing like online Yellow Book/White Book source? It seems like a nice app, but I wonder if it's as good as what it says or is it just exaggerating the basics?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrobo:
Why is not there Slovakia ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rumcajz666:
and why not czech republic ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jelmer-p:
I don't think its KPN, I think its got something to do with the different setting with scrollbars or something with wm 6.5.xx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] namiran:
Hey guys, sorry for my absence in this thread, i noticed the "real" thread had been moved to the android forum now...

Anyway, we try to add as many sources and countries as we can, however some countries where the number of "hits" are too small, we generally prefer not to have. This may change in the future though!

Our sources are most often whitepages or other online directories.

If you have any questions, please let me know :)
[Touch2 General] dzeus83:
Hello,

First of all sorry for my English ;)

I'm curious, whether is possible to remap(change action/function binded to key) the keys like "home", "windows", "back" and "end call"? For me, the only editable key is send key and it's not convenient. My old artemis, had much more editable key ;(

Thx for help,

Best,

Dzeus
[Touch2 General] cimber:
Remapping

Have a look here : http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

Cheers

cimber
[Touch2 General] glaucos:
Same here, I've remapped only the long_send key...

aebutton is a solution not free, and must have it always running...
[Touch2 General] naveenbhatia:
Use the attached Adavnced Configuration Tool to remap keys. It has many other options also.

After installing open the software and go to Menu > More Settings > Key mapping to map the keys.

Regards,

Naveen
[Touch2 General] glaucos:
Long_xxxx not selectable....
[Touch2 General] naveenbhatia:
Even tht's not working for me also. I am remapping long press of buttons using SPB Pocket Plus.

Advance Configuration tool can be used for remapping the left and right buttons only.

samsung i8910 hd with Windows Phone 7 Series

So Microsoft must have an upgraded i8910HD on its hands, as we know the minimum spec to be a 1GHz processor with a WVGA screen – the Samsung model has none of these.

I am trying with no help to activate weather plug-in of this wonderful software.

Has anyone been able to do so?
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] cyron_at:
..s2u2 just shows the weather - no download. You need a weather source..spb weather ...just read which weather sources are supported
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Khisha:
I meant getting current weather from Pocket Weather.

A_C explained that it works only on latest 2.3.1 RC4 rather than on official 2.3.0

Is it just me, or Windows Mobile 7 will SUCK big time? It seems to me, as far as i've been reading and searching the web that microsoft is following apples way with the iphone on the new upcoming os. Where have they lost their head? ???

I don't know about you folks, but in the near future i will be buying myself an HD2 with good old WM 6.x.x. Makes sense to me! spending so much on a phone, at least it has to let me copy and paste at my own will! :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cocytus:
MS gone Apple

Looks like WinMo7 is MS's attempt to copy everything that make the iPhone suck. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone. My next one will probably be an Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
no as time goes on i start to think that more & more :( but im sure as soon as i see a new video on it im prolly gonna want it again
[Windows Phone 7 General] johnlujl123:
I'm glad to read this, that at least someone has the same thoughts as mine. I really don't think WP7 will be as successful as Android OS, BB OS or even iPhone OS. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Goatmaster:
FYI it appears copy and paste will be in the RTM or most likely added shortly after.

To be fair Microsoft is trying to cater to a less advanced audience then the typical XDA user, so in that sense it may do well. From the XDA perspective as long as it gets rooted/jailbreaked/whatever, that isn't terribly different then flashing a HSPL and a custom rom. My only dislike is the lack of storage card, hopefully they will let up on this issue. The SDK is only managed code, this makes programs in general less dangerous and quicker to develop. On the other hand you loose the nitty gritty features XDA users love. Though I imagine having the phone rooted makes both of those points moot. At least you are not one of the people yammering how they are jumping ship to xxxxxx. The OS isn't RTM yet and the gurus haven't touched let a lone disabled all the sandboxing on any WMS7 phones. I somehow doubt the current windows mobile users on here griping are using a stock rom.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tanmay®:
Theres no way WP7S will suck! This thread is pretty much useless pointing out on things which others have pointed out in 100 of such threads!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ramdroid77:
well at the moment Android isn't very wide-spread! Windows Mobile still got a bigger marketshare. But Google is great in making people use their products so we'll see in two years who will be at the top: WP7 or Android.

iPhone what? :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio Oblivion:
The major issue i see with WP7S is no removable storage.

When the system gets taken apart, all of the other features we are missing (task manager, file system access, multitasking etc) will get put back in by XDA.

But... no removable storage is a biggie...

The problem is... there will be no manufacturers making WP7S devices that have micro sd card slots. Why would they?
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Windows Mobile 7 did suck, that's why it got dropped for Windows Phone 7 Series ;)

I believe eventually, Blackberry, iPhone and WP7 will be the top smartphone OS (in US) with Android going the way of WM with a small marketshare. Perhaps Android will catch WM one day now that WM was sent to pasture.

Any smartphone without a great ecosystem and super friendly OS will fail to compete with the "big boys"
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I prefer not having my storage removable. I never take the card out of the phone anyway, and I hate having to decide where to put everything.

Do I put stuff on the card to preserve memory? Or in memory for speed?

If a phone ships with 8, 16 or 32GB of onboard memory, such concerns become moot, it's all one big lump of storage. This is probably why Microsoft haven't added the functionality to the Marketplace to put software onto the card - there won't BE a card in WP7S. Not only that, developers will be able to rely on the fact there'll be plenty of storage available for their games or whatever. Currently, as cards are optional, the only thing they can rely on is a couple hundred megs of RAM and that's it. So in the end I think this decision had to be made. Your average punter hates having to splash out on a memory card after spending £400-500 on a phone with virtually no storage. It is pretty silly. It would be like purchasing a laptop without a hard drive.

In any case, thus far at least, card storage capacities have not outstripped the onboard memory size of phones such as the iPhone. iPhone has 32GB on board, twice what my HD2 has.

Honestly, how many ordinary users do you think really want to faff around with memory cards? It's been nothing but a hassle for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio Oblivion:
This is true... your average punter would think that removable storage is nothing but extra hassle.

However... when your phone goes tits up and you lose all of your files because you didnt have a backup, the advantage of removable storage becomes abundantly clear.

I for one would rather simply take my micro sd card out of the phone and place it directly into another device to get instantly up and running again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yes but it won't be an advantage with WP7 anyway as it won't have file system access and you won't be able to take programs installed on that card from one phone and simply plug it into another. So in WP7 as it is now storage cards are nothing but a hassle.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio Oblivion:
Ah... but you sort of missed the point of my first post....

what i am saying is.... eventually, WP7S will be taken apart and file system access would be possible. So would installing apps outside of the microsoft marketplace.

Therefore... removable storage becomes extremely useful once more,... but there would be no devices running wp7s that actually have micro sd slots.

Forget looking at wp7s as it is now (shockingly bad)... im looking towards the future somewhat...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I hope they put 32 and 64gb chips in phones and not all go with the 8gb minimum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
At least one manufacturer will, just to stand out amidst the crowd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Well let me go a little further. I hope HTC puts 32 or 64GB chips in a phone. I hope such phone has a slide out keyboard, and comes to TMO USA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
No doubt about it, but you can't expect MS to cater to that, can you? :) Me, I will miss SD card if I do switch to WP7, but built-in flash has its benefits as well, it's faster, actually. I need to be able to copy files there though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
And it needs to be super thin.

AND, it needs to come to Sprint. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
You should still be able to files to and from wp7s although it does not use any storage card. I do that with iPhone now and there's no reason to think it will be any different here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You can do it on the iPhone after jailbreaking. Without it you can only transfer certain types via sync interfaces. And then you cannot choose which application will use those files.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Even after jailbreak, that's quite difficult. Apps are not programmed to access the file system (of course).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, Cydia e.a. exist not only to provide cracked apps, but there's also a whole world of applications that only work with jailbroken phones. File managers included, and the interesting thing is that there are more file managers for the iPhone than there are for WM. Some of them seem to be great and very capable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Sure, but there's no built in mechanism for setting default apps etc. and apps from the AppStore don't have built in file explorers or mechanisms to automatically scan the file system (like on Android).
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
In one of the MIX sessions, during Q&A, one developer was asking, very concerned, about how things will work when their application is relying on data in storage and the user removes the SD card. The MS rep responded that the OS merges all the storage into one, and went on to say that right now in the builds they have, the phone complains and freaks out when you remove the card (he obviously hadn't yet seen the company official position of no removable cards).

So I can't really blame MS too much for this. The way they're designing their software, not only do installed 3rd party apps get to assume they have all this storage available but it just makes their services like Zune work very predictably... they haven't figured out a way to deal with the separation of storage and they just decided that it doesn't make sense as a priority.

In truth, built-in storage on a subsidized phone should be much cheaper (and faster) than a MicroSD card. If I can get USB file access to just treat the whole phone itself as a Flash drive, then I don't have much reason to worry about carrying around a card/reader separately. Wireless syncing and MyPhone are great, but I want USB file access too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
@c:sharp

Fair comment. We still can't change the default browser if I click on a web link from my email. So you're saying Android has the ability to change the default calendar, default browser, default mail application etc? If so, that would certainly be born in mind when I compare supersonic to iPhone 4G in coming months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
If only we could get that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I don't see the harm in making only user folders or just a folder accessable through USB flash. They don't have to open up the entire filesystem to give us that feature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Yes. When you install a new browser, for example, the next time you click on a link, you get asked which browser you want to use to open it.

You can either have it ask every time or set one of the browsers as default.

That works with anything, even the default home screen (called Launcher). Install a Launcher replacement and the next time you press the home button, you get asked which Launcher you want to assign to that button.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
I agree with MS's position and explanation. I far far prefer iPhone's approach of just having 32 or 64 gb of internal memory. Can't see how this could be a negative against wp7s.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
If there is a user folder.

If applications can only access their own folder and there is no shared folder (user folder), then that sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
Nice. So if you like pocket informant, that can be your default calendar, right? If I have TomTom and copilot both installed, it'll let me choose the default gps to use to route to an address when I'm in the contact application?
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Don't know whether PI already exists on Android, but that should be possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
Good. I'd certainly take a long hard look at Android and Supersonic and compare it with iPhone 4G.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Regarding the use of a WP7S phone as a USB drive, most average users won't want to do this for several reasons;

1. You would have to carry a USB cable around with you

2. You would have to leave as much of your phone's memory unused as you need in space, so if you want to use your phone as a 4GB USB drive, you would obviously have to keep 4GB of the phone's memory clear for that.

3. Most people fill up their phone's memory with music, videos and pictures anyway so there's no room left to use it as a USB drive

4. You can get a small 32GB or even 64GB memory keyfob nowadays, pop your house keys on that and use it as your USB drive without the need for a cable

5. In order to connect your phone to your PC as a USB drive, the host PC needs exclusive access to the phone's memory, which is going to conflict with the operation of the phone itself, as it too needs access. This is why when you connect your current WM6.5 phone to a PC as a USB drive, the card is invisible to the phone until you disconnect.

6. To ensure you don't corrupt your phone's memory, you have to disconnect the phone within Windows before you unplug it. Your average user is too thick to remember that, and it'll cause problems long-term. This isn't an issue if you connect using sync software, only when you connect as a USB drive.

So there you go. This is why using your phone as a USB drive is pointless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I used to have an iPod and it could be used as a USB drive. Also, you don't need to give access to all files. Plus, you can have controlled access (as it works now in WM via ActiveSync).
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
You have good points, but the scenario where we want USB file access isn't really to have the phone as an 'extra' 4GB drive or whatever, but to have access to the actual phone media like pictures, music, video. This is wanted for situations where I go to a friend's place and want to copy all the pictures we just took to their PC.

You're right that we'd need to carry around a cable, and this is a pain for most people (not me, but most). As much of a pain as carrying around a card reader (mine would just be in my wallet or on keys, but again: most people). So what would be handy is quick wireless sync or file copy to any PC even without Zune software.

Most likely, Microsoft will force us to sync to our own PC and then do our file sharing from there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually, with microUSB being the new standard, and assuming that WP7 devices will also adhere to it, this is getting less and less of a pain each month.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
No need, the pictures will sync to the cloud (MyPhone, probably) so on your friend's PC, if you give him permission he should be able to connect and pull down the photos he needs? I think MyPhone either has or will have the ability to share out photos. Failing that, install the Flickr app which will allow you to seemlessly upload your pics to Flickr, and he can download them from there, without the need for any cables, or even any need for you to have your phone with you or be in his house.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You can't be serious.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
What part of that is giving you trouble?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Presenting this workaround as something that eliminates the need for direct copying. Time and cost are obvious problems with this approach, not to mention the hassle of registering on those sites, setting album permissions etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Well let's just spin that around. Suppose the way technology went a few years back was that when you took a photo on your phone, it could automatically upload it to your favourite pic sharing site on the net. By the time you got home, all your pics were up and your friends, whome you had already given permissions to over the years you'd been using the service, had already commented on them and downloaded the ones they liked. You go over to your mate's house, and.....whoah! All the pics he wants are already on his PC!

Now let's imagine things "progress" from this to a new kind of phone where everything is done via cables. You take your pics, but the pic stays on your phone....no copy goes anywhere. No-one can see them until you get home, plug your phone into a PC, copy the files over and perhaps upload them to a pic site. Your mate still hasn't seen any of them, so you go over to his house, remembering to take a cable with you just in case. You go up to his PC room, plug the phone in and hang around while the photos transfer onto his PC. Then you select "unplug USB drive" on the PC, wait for it to tell you you can unplug the cable, then you disconnect it. You're done.

Would it be strange if people weren't too crazy about this new-fangled cable-tech?

Do you see where things are headed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Look, I don't mind sharing photos via web. Moreover, I do it sometimes. I think it's great stuff. It just doesn't replace USB. Because internet access speeds don't quite reach USB's 480Mbps (or whatever it is), because I need to upload everything and then download which would double the time even if it were that fast both on the PC and my phone, because many ISPs provide asynchronous access with slow uplink, because my operator charges me up to 20 cents per megabyte, it's not a replacement, it's a complementary way of transferring files to my phone, and it doesn't work well for large amounts of data. Capisce? Futuristic ideas are fine but there's also some reality to deal with.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
If you're paying for your internet access by the megabyte then I can see it being an issue, but here in the UK internet access is generally paid for by a flat fee for ostensibly "unlimited" traffic. I suspect the rest of the world is working towards this. Nonetheless, I think you have missed the point of my explanatory post. The uploading of your pics to the internet would be happening in the background while you were, say, on a day out at the theme park. As you snap away, your phone merrily squirts the data up to the net all the time. By the time you get home, as I said, the pics would already be on the net. So if anything , there's LESS waiting around for file transfer. In order to appreciate this as the way forward, you have to let go of your current way of thinking. I know it's hard, but if you really think about it, it does indeed make cable transfers redundant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vcespon:
YEs, and there are may other times where I DO NOT want to upload my pictures to a web site. Or I need to copy 250 MB of pictures, and uploading them is NOT fast nor CHEAP. Not everybody on this planet has 100Mb data access and unlimited data plan. Some telcos charge a lot for every MB.

This is the same thing they did with the first phones with camera. They disabled bluetooth file transfer and USB connection. They provided you a web portal where to upload your photos. I refuse that plan for the same reasons then and now.

I do NOT intend to use Internet to transfer anything to and from my phone. What's the point of having 32 GB local storage if you have to upload/download from Internet? Do you all have 1 Gbps cable at home or WHAT? Do you have a idea of how much time it takes to transfer 32 GB through 3G? And how much it costs on many countries? More than the phone itself...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Won't you beable to transfer via wifi? That shouldn't be very slow. Also I think you can still use a cable it just will go through the Zune Software and not a USB Drive.
