re: your last point. even OEM sw WILL hang and therefore require hard reset. it's simply a fact of life that computer products WILL hang due to so many factors that you will need to reset. having to re-login and connect to web just to use the phone is major epic fail for so many reasons.

re: XDA points. likewise none of the XDA-people care about MS. these limitations WILL be hacked by XDA-Devs. it's simply a matter of time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] flashpanda:
OEM software will be written with the same managed limitations and silverlight UIs as other developers. It may hang, but it's very unlikely it will hang the phone with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
long enough... since when it was Pocket PC and every time my battery fell out it meant a hard reset. They've fixed this, thankfully

I don't understand. Why wouldn't a soft reset be enough for a hang? I don't reinstall Windows every time my laptop hangs up; I can just reboot. If you mean the sw is so buggy you have to wipe to get rid of it altogether, all I was saying is that being in the middle of nowhere is a strange time to take on a project like this. You'd know your ROM's working before you went off on your trip

I see why you say that, but personally I prefer restoring my phone/contacts/stuff from the cloud rather than a desktop sync. I mean, I'm more likely to have cell tower access when I'm out than to have my laptop with me... well obviously, since I need cell tower access to make calls just like I would for data. Anyway you can still make emergency calls

This is one point I've made elsewhere: Hackers are going to hack, they're unstoppable. Knowing this, why would Microsoft prioritize hackability in their development schedule over making sure the phone "just works"? Make sure the phone is stable enough for my Mom and I'll worry about hacking it for my needs. The ZuneHD just got hacked.. XDA will be fine on WP7 and Microsoft will make money off more than just the hacker audience this time
[Windows Phone 7 General] JediFonger:
spike, no reboots on patching? =P almost every patch requires reboot on win. just my 2cents ;)

burnblue,

when my hermes hangs. i dont take the battery out. i hit the 'tiny button' to reset it. is that a 'hard reset' or soft? i think it's hard. if it hangs so badly it, nothing will work, you'll need to hard reset. that's the life of people who use XDA custom roms.

i don't prefer to store stuff on cloud because i just don't trust the privacy stuff. yeah encryption, yeah there's nothing important w/my contact info. but i just don't feel comfortable w/that. i prefer to keep what's mine local. not constantly 100% connected everywhere. we haven't seen massive amounts of cellphone viruses... but the more always connected phones are online, the more the viruses will spread (quickly).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spike15:
Most of my systems do, but those that are sufficiently hardened (and also sufficiently important) that it shouldn't be a problem (and would be a problem if they rebooted) do not automatically do updates.

That particular box is my front firewall -- connects everything on my network to the internet -- and therefore qualifies for never rebooting...
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
No, that's a "soft reset". A hard reset is when you wipe all the data from your phone, resetting it to the ROM/factory default (typically soft reset while holding down a specific button combination).
[Windows Phone 7 General] JediFonger:
i'm thinking of wrong words then. i'm talking about hard rebooting vs. soft rebooting.

hard rebooting means you lose logon info and you still have to login to google/live account, etc. soft rebooting is just clicking on button via software.
[Windows Phone 7 General] banvetor:
So, now that WP7 is out...

How useful is it without a data plan? I'm in a very similar situation to the OP, suffice to say I don't need and don't want a data plan!

Cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
It depends on how often you want your data updated.

If you are almost always in a WiFi area, and don't mind only having access to your email, Facebook, weather, etc... during that time, then a data plan may not be necessary for you.

I know that AT&T is working to increase the number of mobile hotspots they have available. I imagine other carriers are doing the same. So that helps even more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
Just buy an unlocked phone or unsubsidized devices. Problem solved. Carriers these days are forcing it on you when you upgrade/start a new plan
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
My problem is I can't find a decent Dictionary which is not working offline, all of them are online. I need a normal offline dictionary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] garthus:
After reading this thread last night i disabled my data connection and so far no problems. I have WIFI at Home/Work so the only time i've been offline is when driving.

The only thing that i've noticed is that even though I have wifi on the phone does not maintain the always on connection so I don't get notified about emails until i wake the phone up.

So yes you can run it without a data plan.
[Windows Phone 7 General] p1ayrTh3_Ru13:
If all you do is use your phone for calling and texting only then smartphones aren't good for you. Because of the extra money for data that you don't use ( unlike me whose smartphone is his life :D )
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
sorry guys, but I am already doing it with my mom's windows phone 7 (LG quantum). I have the data turned off and she uses only the WiFi or no data at all. It makes phone calls fine and and sends txt messages. If she want to browse the web or check Facebook she does it at home or at Starbucks or a thousands of other place with it.

[Nexus One General] Hwaiting:
Hello,

I have a question about the security or safety of the apps on Android Market. I've been following Android since the G1 but only got my first Android phone with the N1 about 2 weeks ago.

Is there anyone policing the market and apps available? Or is the Android market environment much like the PC environment where it's up to the user to do their due diligence and install only software they feel is safe?

I installed a language keyboard the other day and upon activating it I got a warning about how the app/keyboard MAY have the ability to track my keystrokes and so on and so forth. I installed another one and it appears to be the same warning with all keyboard's other than stock.

Also, in regards to social networking apps that aren't made by the original party (such as Twitdroid/Seesmic for Twitter, Meebo, MSN Droid/Talk for the various IM services out there), do these 3rd parties store your names and passwords on their servers or are they merely acting as gateways or middleman? I'm curious to know how much these 3rd parties have access to when it comes down it and what sort of information I'm trusting to these 3rd parties.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danman132x:
I used to use the HTC Corporation Battery widget that works with the 1.5, but it wont work with the 2.1's. What is a good battery widget, that shows the %, but does not actually drain the battery or is a memory hog. I've been searching, but in almost all the comments in various battery apps, people complain what resource hogs/battery drainers they are.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
Here you go!

Hi to everyone

i would like to save the sms text message without using windows live.

where all the sms are located in the phone?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zen kun:
i was searching but i dont fin anything, im guessing this topic could be carrier side but never knows.

when im in phone and som ecall enter i usually put on hold the call so then my friend its hearing like the bip.... bip

when i finish the other i came back, but there is anyway to set up this "tone" for a song so mayme meanwhile they are waiting could hear a piece or a song or something, its posible this?

thanks
[About XDA developers] flipzmode:
I have no idea if this is even possible in vBulletin. I tried to google but didn't come up with anything so it might not be... but I figured I would make my case anyways. :)

It would be awesome if a senior member was capable of moderating their own thread. I know that as a rom developer for the cdma hero and a kitchen programmer, a thread can VERY quickly get out of control. It makes it impossible for someone that hasn't checked the thread in a few days (or hours) to find anything.

I think rather than asking a mod to take time out of their day to try and clean up posts isn't nice to them either. :)

So I'll ask... is it possible to add a feature for a senior member to be able to moderate a thread that they are the OP on. If it is but xda doesn't want to do that, what are the negative side effects that I'm not seeing? I figure if you are able to limit it to senior member and to their own threads then any shenanigans from this new power would mostly be avoided.

Thanks all!
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
This has been mentioned before. AFAIK, we have not yet found such a plugin.

Thanks,

Dave
[About XDA developers] ~~Tito~~:
The only negative side is that, "Senior Member" is just a title, I think you get it after like 100 posts? If this was to be implemented it should be like 500 posts to become Senior Member.

It does seem like a good idea, I think though, that some people would delete their posts that offend and then they can claim that they never said anything. This would have to be very carefully thought out and planned if this is possible to implement, because I know some people would use it for bad purposes.
[About XDA developers] egzthunder1:
What the OP is asking for is the equivalent of being able to throw someone in jail while that someone is in your house doing something that you believe shouldn't be done in the first place.

I think Uncle Ben said it better... "with great power, comes great responsibility"... and I don't believe that half the Senior members in this site are ready for that :).
[About XDA developers] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah, thats why I said its not a good idea.

You can already help the moderators by reporting anybad conduct, it makes it easier since all they have to do is look at the post and edit it or delete it or ban.
[About XDA developers] orb3000:
Very agree!!

:)

or even 1000
[About XDA developers] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah, or maybe like a automated PM that makes you submit a small paragraph asking certian questions and stuff. Respected people get it faster, newer unknown people take longer to get the status. :cool:

I have to agree, Even though I am below 1000...lol

I look at is as a maturity process!

1-100 See if you wanna stick around and learn...

101-500 Learn how to work with others, learn basics or what path you wanna purse....apps, themes, cooking etc...

501-1000 Work with Old time members, get involved in projects, help noobs....learn how to ignore fights/flamers!

But I dont really have a problem I just......wait is that the HTC Incredible being released......lol
[About XDA developers] galaxys:
Yep, a 1,000 would definately narrow down the senior field :D
[About XDA developers] ~~Tito~~:
Yes it would. I think this should be more of a granted title, not earned, because some people still dont really act like it lol.
[About XDA developers] mrono:
I agree, I was miffed that i got the title after only 100 posts, it's like who cares. Now 1000 would be much nicer, even though i'm only 5th of the way there
[About XDA developers] orb3000:
8000+ still a noob:D:D:D:eek:
[About XDA developers] flipzmode:
So it seems that everyone agrees, just with the caveat that the "senior member" should be a higher number of posts. Or possibly even a second level at 500 or 1000 posts, and THAT'S the level you have to hit in order to be able to moderate your own posts.

I actually tried to go post on vBulletin's support forum but it appears that you need to buy support in order to even be able to create a new post there? Kind of crazy. Ha. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a plugin, because without it this doesn't even exist as an option.

Thanks for the feedback all.

Edit: I don't know enough about vB's settings but according to ChopSuey (a vB coder) this should already be possible: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1919340&postcount=11. What he says makes it sounds like that would allow someone to modify any thread, and not their own. But you would think a coder of the app would know. Ha. Maybe it requires version 4.x? I know xda has been talking about upgrading for a while.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
We're looking for a way in vB to allow certain people (of a given usergroup) to moderate their own threads. If anyone finds a way, please let me know!
[About XDA developers] Draken Korin:
it wouldn't do to simply count posts

there's users having an amazing amount of redundancy, repetition and even irrelevance (chat like) accumulating their post counts that wouldn't be considered with this method alone

the title (if differentiated more fine grained than junior, member, senior) would only be meaningful if it was combined with e.g. a user rating (reputation), derived from other users

br
[About XDA developers] egzthunder1:
That would require members to rate other members and even though the ability to do that exists (at least for threads), hardly anyone does it.
[About XDA developers] egzthunder1:
orb is so deep into ORD that his can be considered a chronic case of ORD (and not because of # of posts) :D
[Desire General] Madgerr:
With apologies for possibly asking a n00bish question but could someone point me in the right direction to find out the User Agent of the web browser on the Desire?

A forum I use has a skin that automatically recognises you are browsing on a mobile which fits much better to the screen but needs to know the User Agent so it can be recognised.

A thousand internets the kind soul who helps me in this quest!
[Desire General] s1977:
To find/change the user agent, go to the browser and type about:debug and hit the play/refresh button. Once there, go to menu options>settings and you will see an additional set of options at the bottom of the menu. Of these one is UAString which is what you are interested in.

Just as a side not, when you enter about:debug in the browser, hit the play button on the url bar so that the browser recognises that it needs to show the debug menus.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Following the above instructions, it just comes up with 3 options "Android" "Desktop" or "iPhone".

Hey there!

First i must say sorry for my english, i hope you can read it :p

My Question is:

Is there any way to get FULL EXCHANGE Support to Donut/Ecliar ROMs? BUT without apps like Touchdown.

The Hero ROMs have full Exchange support - but is there a way to get this on a normal eclair or donut rom? or is there any compete ROM with these apps?

At the moment i have eclair (SuperEclair 2.4) with the CorpCal.apk on my Vodafone Magic but i'm not 100% lucky with this solution :(

Btw. is there anything to get the original HTC Boot to Vodafone Magic? :D

Or a complete HTC ROM for 32b? evtl. with HTC Exchange?
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Try this: Download an eclair/cupcake-hero rom (Kings Eris, Vegas Legend, MLING v3.2b), push advanced launcher/launcher 2, delete sense with adb. This way, you will have a rom that looks like stock (except for the notification bar, that stays black), won't have to suffer from the sluggishness of hero, and keep the exchange support.
[G1 Android Development] o$$!ram:
hmm ... thats an idea ... thanks ... but then the notification led not work :(

idea: take out the exchange apks from a hero rom and install them on eclair? or is this not possible?

omfg :( my english is bad i know ^^
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
I do believe you need to be here.
[G1 Android Development] o$$!ram:

i think this topics belongs to the dev section!? because its not normaly in the original rom!?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
...........Lol...........
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Backporting things from a sense rom to a donut/eclair rom is really difficult. Use a 1.5 sense rom if you want working led's
[G1 Android Development] o$$!ram:
okay thanks for the answer :( Hmm, than i must life with the solution that i have now (supereclair + corpcal) ...

Hero 1.5 isnt good - no support for the newest google map (i need latitude - is a good solution for me an my bro (we have a small it-company and than it is good to know where the other is)

[HD2 General] mrpachy:
Maybe someone who has a better grasp of hardware can answer this question. Why would HTC make different phones for different 3G networks (not counting CDMA here, just GSM)? For instance, if you want to use a HD2 on AT&T's network, you have to get an 9193 import from Australia which uses the same 3G freq (2100), while T-mobile uses a 3G freq. of 850.

Now, the real question. Is there a real difference in the antenna hardware between the TMUSHD2 and the 9193 import? Or is it a matter of firmware which programs the antenna to listen at a certain freq?

From a manufacturing standpoint, it seems it would be simpler to make a standardized receiver section, and then just software to program it for certain frequencies depending on the cell vendor's requirements.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
You really need to do some homework. Your highspeed data frequencies are all mixxed up.

Telstra T9193 850+2100UMTS

European T8585 900+2100UMTS

TMOUS 1700+2100UMTS

ATT uses 850+1900UMTS so the telstra is the only one to get 3G or H in the states. The 850UMTS band alone will suffice for most.

And HTC produces so many versions because carriers around the world use different frequencies. Also it is hardware and not firmware that denotes these frequencies.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
As Agoattamer stated, different carriers/regions use different frequencies for their signal (whether it's Edge/HSDPA or w/e).

But furthermore, I don't believe HTC makes any radio chips, they purchase them and then put them in their phones (kinda like snapdragon cpu is made by Qualcomm and not HTC). More so, there is no chip in existence that supports all frequencies (and it kinda makes sense; there's no need to built a chip which will cost more, and physically take up more space when only a few of it's frequencies will be used in it's lifetime depending on where it is located. Also, it allows for phones to be locked to carriers, which carriers like).

So it's not firmware locked, it's hardware based and can't be changed.

Hello. I hope its ok to ask this question here.

I have a samsung saga from verizon.

The other day it ran out of storage space. (not sure why , I thought I had everything cached to the sd card)

Anyway the phone crashed, and rebooted. Many things got reset .

My connections were all gone.

I created a new connection to dial #777. It does connect to the internet. I then had to configure opera, and outlook to use the new connection.

Still some programs will not use the new connection . (google maps, Bing, Windows media player)

Does anyone know what I can do other than a hard reset to fix this.
