I am sure .net framework in wp7s can access all hardware,so why Mozilla need native api access? just performance issues...but Mozilla do a sucked Firefox on WM6.X:mad:

Finally, I think .net framework good enough to develop great browser and developer can get benefit by GUI Acceleration

Managed is slow? May be but not critical

http://www.grimes.demon.co.uk/dotnet/man_unman.htm
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's not just about performance. A browser is a huge complex app with millions of lines of code. You can't just sit down and rewrite it in a different language when your engine is done in C++ for all platforms. That's a massive endeavor that will cost millions of dollars. In addition to that, there's no access to APIs necessary to do it. You can't open a socket and work with it directly in WP7's Silverlight.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iamcrazyfire:
So,this is not .net or Wp7 problem:D

All about the money
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Everything in business is about money, so what? Restricting development to Silverlight makes developing alternative browsers for WP7 impossible because of a huge investment barrier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sprinttouch666:
My understanding is that WP7 WILL allow 3rd party browsers, but they WILL NOT be able to be the default browser :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yes, and because the APIs are so limited and native APIs are not allowed no third party will be able to make a browser. :)

Hi All

Does anyone have any info on whether/when iGo8 might be available for Android devices?

I currently use iGo on my WM6.1 Touch HD and having tried iGo, TomTom Nav7, and Copilot 7 I can say it beats TT and CP hands down but for the lack of Traffic support in the UK. iGo for Android is mentioned on their website but the links dry up without pointing to any commercial software.

Right now it seems that for comprehensive satnav on Android Copilot have it all their own way.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTHM:
Hi

Thanks for the reply - I did hit that page but still no mention of commercially available software. However I did do some digging through the FAQs using Google Translate and found that IGo My way for Android is only currently available on the Samsung Galaxy Spica.

There is no mention of it being put on general release. I think that is exceptionally short sighted of Navngo as they are giving a free run to Copilot and Sygic, but then they also only do Traffic via free TMC too which doesn't help us smartphone users in the UK who can't get TMC on our smartphones and even if we could TMC here is encrypted/subscription only so only used by OEM car manufacturers and TomTom.

Alarm Fix

Many of Windows Mobile users are suffering from different problems, related to clocks, alarms and reminders. This problem exists almost in all Windows Mobile systems (Windows Mobile 2003, WM5, WM6, etc). Why this happens and how to take care on it?

There root of this problem is something called "Notification Queue". The main propose of it is to run tasks and activate alarms and reminders at scheduled times, particularly when the device is in standby or low power mode. There are a lot of problems with this module – troubles with alarm and reminders, which not working, or, alternatively, playing not in time after device reboot.

There are some bugs, reported to Microsoft and one of topmost requests from the next version of Windows Mobile is to produce more reliable alarm clock.

For some reason, there is very little information about working with notifications queue in internet. There is absolutely no information about it in MSDN. And a lot of misinformation all over the network. I gathered up all I can from anywhere and now, I know what the cause for problems with alarms, alerts, notifications and reminders in Windows Mobile systems. I also learned how to fix it.

The root problem of notification queue is duplicate entries, produced by different applications, such as clock, ActiveSync, Alert, missed calls notifies and more. Windows mobile has no tools to treat this problem.

"AlarmFixWM" can be used to overcome this issue. It scans your Windows Mobile system for duplicate entries in notification queue and eliminate them. All you have to do, is do download it, put it into one of directories inside your mobile device (no installation), then run and hit Scan button. The program will do all the rest.

CELL INFO is a handy feature I've taken for granted in Nokia phones - even the most basic models. I've seen "cell info" option in Windows mobile as well. The main use of this is that it shows the neighborhood or locality name. I always assumed that it was the name of the cell tower in that area (of the operator). I've also seen promotional messages being pushed through this cell info at times. I don't remember seeing any cell info on nokia while I visited USA. I am pretty sure it's widely used everywhere else.

Interesting. I wonder if less information is available about cell towers in the US. I've only ever seen towers identified by a CID (presumably Cell ID) and Cell LAC (Location Area Code according to googling). These appear to only be numbers. My current cell is 20012/8408*. There are a couple other numbers as well. I don't really understand what they are.

I can see this using Antennas or Cell Tower Locator from the market.

There are a variety of services that convert these to location information. One of them is built into the Maps application that you may have on your phone. Turn off GPS in settings, and watch the Maps app still locate you. Just, not as accurately.

There are a host of apps/widgets in the market that will give you an address from the OS-provided location. That location is available as coarse-grained and fine-grained. Coarse is network-based. Fine is GPS-based.

The carrier information is available in Settings->About Phone->Status.

EDIT: My phone has an option to display the carrier on the lock screen. However, I'm not sure if that is stock or due to the custom ROM I'm running.

Later,

I have an unlocked SPV M3100 which is still running the windows 5 rom. I want to update it to the HTC Home ROM (by Scotty93) that is on this site but i want to know a few things first:

Do i have to update the rom to a newer version before i can use the HTC Home one?

I have a 2 gb MicroSD card ready to use - but could somebody outline the processes i would need to to in what particular order

Will my phone remain unlocked after the update?

Many Thanks,

David
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aze2learn:
Hi,

An unlocked phone means you can use any SIM inside the phone. It won't get locked by flashing.

But you need to CID unlock the phone before you can flash any cooked ROMs such as what you mentioned (that's why HardSPL is important because it makes the phone SuperCID so the device won't brick easily by flashing). Before you want to start any flashing activity, please read the wiki and how to HardSPL your phone.

All the best :)

hi,

is it possible to remove the clock in today screen?.

i need the touchflo today's screen with out clock and weather on it.

kindly give me the solution

ASK
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Not sure if it works but you can try M2DC and disable digital clock...however there is no option in M2DC to remove the weather widget...

You could install an older Rom....but than HSPL needs to be available and you loose a bit more functionality pending on the older Rom.....

Why not try 2nd today screen to create extra space?
[Touch2 General] TangerineTractor:
You could use M2DC and remove the home tab completely. Personally, I'd just disable touchflo and put what you need on the today screen - there are plenty of contact, weather and calendar today plugins out there...
[Touch2 General] azhagan16:
What is M2DC and where to get it.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
With M2DC you can change a lot of settings of manila plug-in.....see attached

I am facing a general problem with facebook integration in my new Legend. I've set up a facebook sync. When I link a contact in phone (google contact) with a contact from facebook, I can't afterwards see the albums of the contact or see the updates in people application. The link is working, because I am able to set the contact picture also from facebook, but updates and albums from facebook are not working. I tried also to hard reset the device and set it up again, but it did not help. Aren't you facing the same problem? I've opened a ticket to HTC, but I have to wait until they receive a Legend to their office :-D.
[Legend General] milbi:
I'm signed in to the Facebook using Friend Connect application and in the detail of the contact in "People" application I can see updates for each connected Google contact <- Facebook contact. Updates are working for the Facebook status as well as for photos.

A cannot check it with Twitter, because I do not have any valid contact there :-)
[Legend General] pe3ksve3k2:
so, now the problem is solved. I started to have also problems with gmail contacts which refused to sync with gmail. Syncing was so strange, it was duplicating 2 contacts every time in gmail ... grrr horrible.

Then I deleted all contacts in gmail, also all contacts in phone, I cleared the cache for google contacts app. Afterwards I restored contacts from my last .csv backup in gmail and after sync all contact were back in phone. I lost all photos of my contacts, so I had to link most of them with facebook contacts. But it solved the problem. The integration with facebook is working again :) .. I was very happy yesterday:).

What is maximum microSD capacity that works with Touch Cruise aka Polaris.

I know people use 8GB but I was wondering could I use 16GB?

anybody tried it?

Thank you!!
[Touch Cruise General] mouse.co.nr:
over 2 gb it requests an SDHC driver, this is for the elder HTC versions,

The polaris/touch cruise do have the SDHC driver installed,

so it should recognize any microsd.
[Touch Cruise General] kulen:
thank you for the answer.

I have 4 GB microSD card so I know it works. I also know 8 GB works because a lot of people here says that they use it.

I'am planning to buy 16 GB microSD card but I want to know for sure it works.

I ask this because from what I know some cameras or card readers have like 8GB limit or 4GB limit.

so I would like that somebody confirm, from it's own experience that it works.

Thank you

Hi all,

I am running the latest Diamond build of XD Android (2.0.1) and have it installed to an android folder on my SD card.

The issue I am having is that when I hold the End Call button to power it off, it begins shutting the phone off but never actually completes this task....I need to remove the battery in order to shut it down.

Anybody have any thoughts on how to fix this...or is this expected behavior for running Android?

My phone is a Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Wil Badger:
Ya it's a known issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
this has been addressed to the community that this is a well known issue and is being fixed at this moment, if i can recall i believe the Raph100 which is the European TouchPro would actually shutdown but it doesnt work with the Raph110 which is the FUZE...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] espais:
ok, thanks all

follow up question then in regards to my android installation.....the battery drains itself in several hours

i have turned off wifi and data...and try to keep running apps to a minimum

is this another issue with the android port? or any idea if there's anything i can do to improve the battery life?

when i am in winmo i use NATF's ROM and can get 2-4 days of battery life out of my device (without using it too heavily)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fatpandas:
android has not been fulled ported yet. it is currently an incomplete build and thus you will experience horrible battery life. at best, you should expect to see about 6 hours battery life. theres nothing you can do about it at the moment. just wait patiently for the devs to work their magic.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
I think you should probably expect horrible battery life as long as you're running your OS off of an sd card instead of out of ROM memory.

No root necessary!

I just randomly came across this... Downloaded a free app called "No Lock" (BoD ) which obviously removes the lock from the screen, but it also enables any button including the track ball, volume keys, menu, search... (you get the point) to turn on the phone screen. Its up to you guys but since there is no hardware button for making calls I dont really see any problem with pocket dialing - just no lock :-) Also, there are programs to solve that such as chompsms which lets you do pattern lock to use it...and there are others to cover all apps too. Hopefully this helps someone.

Sorry - Just saw a few posts down the same thing was posted. I guess I wont completely erase mine tho since I evplain it a bit more if there are noobs reading.

[Legend General] x.x1:

it seems that when you are charging your phone and using a program to disable sense keylock you can wake up your device. so I think on froyo they have prevented other keys to have power and be active....
