Is there a newer build we can run on this emulator ? if so how do I run it ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SoonStudios:
Don't know if anybody mention it but I got two tips about Emulator:

1 To input text into emulator press Page-up (while editing a texbox f.e.) and then use your keybord to enter some text.

2 Use F9 and F10 to change the volume

**Please note**

1.)I did right click it and enable compatibility mode.

2.)My CPU does support virtulization. (you may have to enable this in BIOS)

well I am at it again!

I put the entire files on my dropbox for everyone to have full speed HTML downloads. I will leave the torrents in case people feel like using them, but I don't see much of a benefit other than longer-term storage if everyone keeps seeding it (which I don't expect people to).

If you enjoy the full speed downloads and the torrent files I host, please help me by adding more space to my dropbox!

just a note, once you are logged in you can go to https://www.dropbox.com/gs to see the progress of your and my bonus space.

Hey OP,

is it possible to upload the install files to another hosting service? multiupload is down.

I'm currently trying to get an emulator and a deployment tool together on my tablet - without having the overhead of installing the SDK and VS. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1496139)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bleh815:
Download the official SDK iso, mount or unpack it and then install either sde_xde2-enu.msi or sde_xde2x64-enu.msi - that's it.

To deploy xaps (without installing the complete SDK) i suggest you to use XapDeployX. (The trick is to install CoreCon2 components and vs_sdeprolightup-enu from the 7.0 SDK)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ReLeXX:
That's so simple, I'm sorry for even bothering. :-D

Thank you very much!

For general information: There should be a possibility to use the emulator in Windows 8. I'm trying to get a work-around.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Good luck on that work-around. XDE is a VM (not actually an emulator), and Win8 doesn't seem to like legacy VMs. If you manage to get it working, please let us all know how!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] majkeljj:
I have WDDM 1.0 grafic card on my notebook. It will work or as in full SDK my card is not supported?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ReLeXX:
OK, got it! The emulator runs on my Windows 8 machine!

Either install Win8 x86 or uninstall Hyper-V on your x64 version. Then it should work. If not, then you have to run the x64 inside a VM, because of some hardware things...

I installed the whole SDK and uninstalled all the tools I don't need so I've got just my emulator and the deployment tools on my Win8 tablet.

Only drawback: My tablet is too slow to view the WP7 fluently. However ... it works!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Pezza:
Does anyone have a current working link for either the x64 or x86 version?

Sadly it seems the Megaupload link prompts you to download something else instead of the emulator, and the dropbox links have all stopped working.

Via Boy Genius Report

This means might see another problem like HTC had with bad drivers which might make some phones suffer in performance.

But in good news they aren't going to allow carriers to put any trialware on the devices!
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yikes. This means that not only you can get bad drivers, but also OS updates will be dependant of whether OEMs will choose to upgrade your specific device or not. What was the point of these strict hardware requirements again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Exactly what I was thinking. Why put these strict hardware requirements into place in order to get a great user experience on every device when a company can just come along with some bad drivers and ruin that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
And you can also get Android-style OS version fragmentation from day one, because you won't get WP7.1 for your HD3 until HTC provides new drivers. What's the point of centralized OS updates if they depend on OEMs?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Maybe their updates won't depend on having new drivers and the originals should work?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
This may work up to a certain point. How can you guarantee that new runtimes will work with old drivers? If they don't, who'll pay for development of new ones?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
True and having Microsoft try to maintain backwards compatability with old drivers will just create more problems with updates. They really should be taking care of everything but building the actual hardware. Last time I checked drivers are a form of software and they are in charge of that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Without seeing the actual docs (and even then the info could be outdated) I'm not buying this. Microsoft clearly stated that they are developing the graphics drivers, not the OEMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] htcplussony:
This is one is so weird. Think all points have been made and not good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's marked February 2010, so yes, it could well be outdated (hopefully).
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I might look for a better quote because I'm pretty sure they called out graphics drivers in specific but this is from the original launch...

"We're also developing more of the total software inside of each Windows Phone 7 Series phone. We developed system components like drivers. We include the user interface in a consistent way on every phone. The result: cheaper and faster in ways that OEMs can build phones."

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/steve/2010/02-15MWC.mspx

They (I believe it was Charlie Kindel) said that the reason that they're only launching with Snapdragon was because MS didn't want to waste time writing and optimizing drivers for various chipsets.

If anyone has the actual document, please post it. There's definitely contradicting information.

[Windows Phone 7 General] eaglesteve:
This does not sound good.

What about Android phones? Same approach of letting each OEM write their own drivers, and hoping that they do a good job?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Logicalstep:
of course then you have the other side of the coin...If MS let the CPU/GPU manufacturers provide the Drivers (not HTC), you could end up in the same situation as desktop drivers for the GPU's.

As more and more people demand a GPU inside their phone, the more the GPU manufacturers will have to write decent drivers to distinguish their GPU from the rivals. You could end up with a situation like ATI and Nvidia, which seems to work very well and also forces each company to innovate and upgrade thier drivers fro existing GPU's as well as new releases.

ur missing a driver. what's your pc OS? do you have the sdk?

if you have the sdk, and you're on windows, then run "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes). in that list you should see your phone. right click on it to select it, and select update driver. then you'll have to manually browse to the folder that has the driver within the sdk. install it. done. fastboot commands should work after that, assuming you're phone is in fastboot mode.

i love my touch pro 2 but kinda like the hd2 what do you think should i switch thanx!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The only way to know is to try one, honestly. Once you can find any in stock, I would just pick one up and give it a test drive, T-mobile gives you 14 days to play with it and return it if you want, no questions asked.

I have a TP2 now, and I'm dying to get my hands on the HD2. But...even with the faster processor and other new goodies, the main decision you're going to have to make is whether you can live without the hardware keyboard. I'll definitley know if I can within the first 2 weeks ;)
[HD2 General] sduong:
Yep, agree with previous poster. If you can live without the physical keyboard, then go for it. Copy/paste and text selection are a lot harder with the virtual keyboards. Also, you can't dual boot in Android with the HD2. I made the switch, and although I'm pretty safisfied with it so far, I still miss the physical keyboard.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lestat89:
You can use ringdroid. It allow you to cut some mp3 for example and when you save it ask you how do you want to use the ring (alarm, rington...etc)

It's the same if you save the file without any cut ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xtremedrunk:
If you dont want to use a third party app, you can load the MP3's into the following folders in the following path:

SD Card/media/audio/ ....

Inside "audio" there should be: alarms, notifications and ringtones.

If you use an app like OF File Manager, you have to restart your phone. If you load it from your comp once the SD Card is mounted, it should show up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mark.lawler:
Our company changed its policy and one can only connect company paid for Crackberries to our Exchange servers. We came in last week to find we all had new login IDs and users on our laptops. That said I had to try it anyways with my HTC AT&T Tilt 2 to connect to MS Outlook to repopulate my contacts and calendar.

Here is what I found: I can establish a partnership between my WinMo 6.5 phone and laptop and sync my contacts and calendar, but after I disconnect my phone my 3G data connection via AT&T's MediaNet connection is broken. Even if I reboot or reset my phone I cannot establish a data connection. The 3G icon is there, but you get the error message that it cannot connect anytime the phone attempts to send/receive data. Better yet, after 3-5 hours the phone even then loses its ability to connect to a phone network! To fix the phone I have to restore from a backup I made before establishing the new partnership (thank god for SPB Backup!). I've reproduced this test case 4 times now and have narrowed it specifically to establishing the partnership with the laptop and doing a sync with the local contacts and calendar entries in MS Outlook.

Questions:

1) How does ActiveSync deliver a poison pill that disables my data connection? How does this manifest itself hours later in to turning the phone in to a brick?

2) Is there something I can do to block this from occurring on my device if I still wish to connect to my work laptop via the USB cable. I know I can delete the partnership, but hell, I'd still love to at least sync my contacts and calendar...

Thanks,

-Mark
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cdness:
Let me say up front I am not a BlackBerry user by any means, but I may be able to offer assistance with policy related stuff...

Do you have your phone joined to your work domain? If yes, try taking it out of the domain and re-synching with the laptop.

Regarding the data connection loss, do you know if you are getting any proxy settings pushed to the phone from the company network?

Your situation sounds odd for sure, but if it comes down to it, ask the IT department to see what they did. Technically it is your piece of equipment and you could have contact information in there that is personal so they should be able to allow you to get the info off the system somehow...

A BlackBerry expert might be able to offer a bit more info than my grabbing at straws...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ypsmav:
Just a question, did you conected to the exchange server directly (you need to put your exchange server address and your user/psw to do that) or you just sync with your PC outlook?

If you did the first, yes, they can deliver a poison pill named as 'Exchange policies'. There are hundreds of different things they can disable on your mobile:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123756(EXCHG.80).aspx

If you just sync with your PC outlook, you should not get any problem.

In order to disable the server policy, you need to open the activesync icon, click the options and erase the exchange server.

If it does not work, do a hard reset.
