[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
Applications have to be closed, when the phone runs out of RAM.

And of course, I want that be done automatically.

I don't want the phone to lock up and wait for me to close applications, before I can go on and open new ones. That's nonsense.

Android does a perfect job of handling the multitasking. It does't lock up and require the user to close applications. If there is an application that should not be closed in case the system runs out of RAM, then it can run as service or in persistent mode (e.g. an IM client typically doesn't want to be closed). That way, only inactive apps are closed if the system needs more resources and the user doesn't even notice.

That's exactly how it should be period.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spike15:
Dear God...what is this black magic?

Multi-tasking, paging, what other 20+ year old technologies must these phone manufacturers be made aware of!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
Paging? On SD cards?! Not good.

Btw. you can activate it in Android. But I rather have unnessecary applications closed instead of slowdowns.

No, thanks, the multitasking in Android is just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
Won't you want to close your GPS manually after each trip? Why keep it active and consume resources unnecessarily? Not only I want to close it manually, I would also turn off location services in order to conserve battery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
I always leave it running and have no issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] us-boy-bill:
after listening to a engadget podcast & reading through all the details about mutitasking from the tech blogs. it has come to my understanding that the main different between ms & apple mutitasking is that currently apple will offer more mutitasking "services" to 3th party dev than ms. & the fact that steve jobs used the word mutitasking while ms was trying to avoid that word
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
OK, but I didn't say anything about that rumor. I specifically said they'd use Zune.

As for the Android/WM war... I like WM. I don't think Android is WM "done right".. I just think Android is newer. Yet somehow many parts of it don't feel very modern (not that WM6 is any better there)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MasterTP:
This is exactly how Multi-tasking works on WP7: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/04/12/multi-tasking-on-windows-phone-7-explained/

Seems complicated lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] neo3424:
Well Said!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MooGoo:
So basically...we have to accept no multitasking, or be thankful to have artificially limited multitasking, all because most people are too stupid to realize that running a bunch of applications simultaneously on your phone might have a negative impact on performance and battery life? Ugh, I guess people who own laptops must be super geniuses then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chikoo:
Not exactly.

Which is why the Geek Squad at Best Buy is still in Business.

From my viewpoint, I expected Geek Squad to shut down long time ago.

The fact that you still see them running around explains a lot of things. Namely, most people are dumb and do not know who to handle the issues being raised out of the freedom that they get from an unlimited software on the laptop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MooGoo:
Of course if you are in the computer repair or tech support business, most peoples incompetency with computers is your bread and butter. I am horrified to see the ridiculous hourly rates people are willing to pay Geek Squad, but am absolutely not surprised either. It's just like with cars. "If I don't replace your computers Johnson Rod, it won't pass inspection!"

I just do not see why consumer oriented laptops can run without app or multitasking restrictions, but phones need to. Yes phone's are less powerful and have smaller batteries, but they also run less power hungry operating systems and applications.

If this freedom on laptops and regular computers is causing so many problems, then maybe someone should step up and start releasing noob computers that are as locked down as some phones. I suspect if this was done, a lot of people would be angry that they are unable to run their favorite smiley toolbar spyware app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
iPad, look it up. Stupid idea but people still love it.

Does anybody know where to buy hard wire kits to install a micro USB charger into your car? All I have found on them so far is something like this:

http://www.buybits.com/product/sku_6137.aspx

Only problem is everything I can find is in the UK. I am trying to find something state side. Does anybody know where I can get some?
[Nexus One Accessories] gIMpSTa:
You could pick up one of the 12volt ciggarette adapters that plug into normal socket and have a standard usb port that provides 5 volts. Take it apart, add an inline fuse (if it doesn't already have one) and wire that into any 12 volt source and mount the usb port wherever you want (or chop and attach a mini usb cable and leave the cable hanging wherever you want).

I've found those for under $10.00 in the states and have done this identical mod before (for something else, but same idea).
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
FYI, the 500ma spec of that unit is not sufficient to power and charge many modern smartphones, including the N1.

You are better of fabbing your own solution from a microusb car charger rated at 5.2v@800ma or better.
[Nexus One Accessories] Steve_Walker:
Charger lead -- this?

How about http://buybits.com/product/7441.aspx that seems to be what you're after but then all you need is a micro adaptor.

They might even do one.

Steve
[Nexus One Accessories] veehexx:
you could DIY it?

grab a 12v 1amp car adaptor, take it apart, find a suitable box from your nearest maplins (radioshack = USA equiv?) and fit the electrics into the box.

replace the fused side of the 12v adaptor with a fuse, wire and 2x ring terminals to your battery.

since it has standard USB, your free to use anything you wish.

i've done things slightly differently, i got a 4-way 12v accessory unit, and hard-wired that into the car. (http://www.towsure.com/product/4_Way_Cigar_Lighter_Socket_Adaptor). that you way you charge multiple devices..

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] workerb:
On my previous phones Kyocera 7135, HTC MDA, and Nokia N95 I was able to get all phone audio (music, alarms, calls etc..) to play through a mono bluetooth headset. It did not occur to me to ask whether it could be done with my myTouch 3g as it seemed obvious that if you are using a headset you would want to hear all the audio from the phone through it, or at least have a choice.

I have not been able to find a way to do this and am wondering if anyone knows how it might be accomplished. First, is it possible from a programming perspective with android. And second, if I wanted to hire somebody to program it, where would I find them?

[G1 Apps and Games] eessel:
on the contrary(I know everyone is entitles to their opinion), but I have come to love opera mini beta 5..I am actually using it now and has been my daily browser for about a week now. It's really good with loading websites super quick and I also love the interface and the one touch zoom. of course, some pinch to zoom or some zoom buttons would be nice, but.It's really nothing to complain about. can't wait for the updates for it...and that's my two cents :)

Just tried out Rosie Sense UI. I'd say its actually faster than the WM Sense 2.5. Just changed the system.sqsh with the rosie one and it fired up perfectly. Takes an absolute age the first time, but it's really nippy.

But (yes there really is always a but...) the screen is upside down. It's rather amusing to start with, guessing where all the soft keys are. But then it got annoying... :p. I really wish I had more experience with playing around with things like this because if the screen was in the correct orientation this would be on the way towards perfection. Personally I can live without a camera, but GPS is rather useful. When I started using these Android builds with my Diamond they were reaaally slow. At the time nobody thought that it would be possible to run Sense. Things have moved on so fast in the last 6 months or so, so I have no doubt that these problems will eventually be ironed out.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts. If anyone needs any help setting up Android with Sense I check these threads pretty regularly so I'm happy to help. ;).
