[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
I have my laptop's HDD as a network share to my phone from where I stream my media using core player.

Now, is there any way to share the memory card as a network share TO my laptop? That way it would be easy to set that as a target for all the stuff the laptop pulls down from the internet.

Your help is appreciated very much! Thank you!

Here is the LG Prototype phone running Windows Phone 7 OS. Charlie Kindel Program Manager for Windows Phone 7 was kind enough to show us two Windows Phone 7 Phone (The Chocolate Bar & LG Windows Phone 7 Phone with full qwerty keyboard)..

[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
woah, woah, woah.... You got a hands on? Did you try it out yourself?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Very nice thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
good vid one thing that annoyed me was pinch to zoom. I have been spoiled by the hd2 reflowing text when the font is bigger...the model didn't do that.

So far, everything seemed consistent with what we have seen. I do wish those darn animations could be turned off to maintain speed of device and services I mean by god I don't care about animations. Something nice with a great ui that is fast is good enough for me...

great vid otherwise

*thinks* I hate typing on the hd2 though I want my net back ><
[Windows Phone 7 General] MasterTP:
Reflow sucks ass IMO, especially in the browser. This time (on WP7) it's working like on the iPhone (no relfow but zoom stops aaccording to text on page).
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
is it me, or does that looked significantly faster than what they showed at mix? I still cringe when he says capacitive touch only though, I still don't get that requirement. If they want a multitouch device with 4 points of touch that's fine...but why limit it to capacitive, I like a real stylus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I noticed the same thing. It does look like it's running a lot smoother then it was at MIX. I like resistive screens as well. I use spacetime graphic calc software are school in place of a TI-89 and I use my pencil to tap the numbers. I won't beable to do stuff like this anymore after this comes out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] miniterror:
i think it looks faster but actually isnt faster

it gives a spin to the tiles that are loaded and that gives the system extra time to load the stuff what comes after that:S

think there hiding there slowness with some graphic parts:-o

does main that videodrivers are correct otherwise you couldnt have those grapihcs:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
well I mean the graphics in particular...it was choppy at mix if I remember it correctly. Scrolling up and down, clicking on a tile seemed to move choppy at 1st then speed up like it was loading something. This looks smooth and pleasing.

Sigh, I miss my ti-89 days. I should take up game engine programming again to flex some of my linear algebra skills. I'm not sure about the user experience without a stylus, but they have spacetime for the iphone. I'd be shocked if they didn't release a wp7 version. Although, looking at the website, there's no android version.
[HD2 General] pinhead:
I have noticed that the Automatic control for the backlight on the HD2 works very well. I have never feel like the phone is too dim and only in the darkest rooms do I find it to be a little too bright.

The Auto backlight does not seem to have the ability to get down the the lowest backlight level of the HD2 screen. If I turn off the auto function the screen can get to that "barely on" setting, but on auto the lowest is seems to go is to around 30%, which can be bright in the car at night or reading in bed.

Is there a way to make it so that the automatic backlight control can go all the way to the lowest setting when appropriate?
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Have you looked into using 'lumos'? You can find it in the HD2 apps forum section.

I used it before and it should work for you to get the lowest backlight. I stopped using it since I figure 30% is good enough for me in most situations. During my commute, the light sensor gets hit too much and the backlights changes too often so I just turned it off. (I think it may also save me some power as well.)

If I'm reading in the dark I manually set it to 10% and in the morning I set it back to 30%. It's not too often that I will read in the dark so it's not a major issue for me.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I guess along the same lines, is there some app or widget that can be called from the home-screen icons that can control brightness on the fly?

Sense's brightness control is hidden behind far too many presses to make it comfortable to switch quickly. It's a bit annoying when I'm checking my e-mail at work walking under a set of lights, the screen will dim, then brighten, then dim, then... every two steps. Jumping to the menu to change the settings is too cumbersome, something along the lines of two clicks would be much better.
[HD2 General] robrob777:
use Lumos

I had the same problem, Lumos works very well in the HD2.

I posted these over at PPCgeeks because I roll CDMA, but I just figured I share over here at XDA where all the fun stuff starts. I made a couple of sliders the past week, one "Antique" kind of themed and one a Glossed Wood. These are sense 2.5, and due to requests at ppcgeeks I've included Sprint TV and Sprint Nav. Just DL the 'plus Sprint versions. I can make Manila tv if anyone is interested. I've also replaced the "Launch Browser" icon on the internet tab so it would match.

On the Antique Slider, I missed one manila file for the calendar. Please DL the appropriate update cab. I'll rebuild cabs later. I have had really good feedback at ppcgeeks but almost none here. Please let me know if you install this and how it looks.

I am always on latest NRG CDMA 235.. so my sliders will work on those. Other than that, I don't know. I've had no complaints though.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano777:
Hi

I have got a hero on the cheap :-) currently using an iPhone boot looking to move over.

The hero has a custom rom on it, I would liketo try others. Holding down the home button and powering on just leaves it with the G2 boot screen. Holding down back button and power brings me into fastboot USB. When connected to the mac I am unable to see the device / list it using adb devices. If I boot into the os and connect to the mac not mounting the sdcard I can see the device with adv devices.

I'm trying to install a recovery image, this is proving dificult with not seeing the device in fastboot.

Has anyone any thought/suggestions on to resolve? Or point me in the direction of some threads to read.

Tia

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
use fastboot devices when in fastboot...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano777:
HI,

thanks for the reply, when in fastboot on the device I use fastboot which i have downloaded from the andriod site and put in my "tools" folder when trying to lash a recovery image it just comes back with a prompt saying "waiting for device"

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
just to make sure: you turn off the phone, then turn it on again while holding down BACK. this brings you to a screen with a white background and fastboot written somewhere. then you plug in the usb cable and execute "fastboot devices". if it still doesn't recognize your device then you got a problem somewhere, no idea where though. not sure if windows needs drivers or anything for fastboot to work correctly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano777:
Yes that's correct.

Phone is recognize in everything other than when connected by fastboot.

Thanks for your input
[Nexus One General] Highland3r:
Just seen this thread over in the Desire section - looks like Navigation is working in the UK now without needing to hack maps etc!

Quick test shows it appears to be working fine, haven't been out anywhere but it's giving locations, step by step directions etc!

Anyone else confirmed?
[Nexus One General] BigDamHero:
Holy cr*p it does seem to be doesn't it?

I'm stuck in work at the moment, but the navigation option has appeared and I can get it to launch. May have to go for a drive at lunch just to test it :-p

Can anyone confirm it is working? I would LOVE to ditch Co-pilot.

I really hope it isn't an error on Google's part, which they are shortly going to correct and take it away again!?
[Nexus One General] ande_uk:
Yeah, the option has appeared, I cant get a GPS signal tho as im stuck inside at work too.

Awesome update :)
[Nexus One General] dubnde:
It is working on my unrooted nexus one. It warns it is BETA version but who cares as Google always beta anyway. Version 4.1.1(#4156)

I did not even realise from the last update they had enabled it. No mention of it
[Nexus One General] martinsolsen:
How do i get to the turn bu tyrn navigation? When going to car home, navigation, then enter the end point, then i get some driving directions i can either see on a map, or as text, but i dont get that real turn på turn navigation, is there something you should activate or something like that?

Iam from Denmark btw, i wanted to test out if it maybe was opened to other parts of Europe aswell.
[Nexus One General] BigDamHero:
Exciting! Want to test it.

When I edge my chair closer to the window and start waving my phone towards the sky, people look at me nervously.
[Nexus One General] dubnde:
there should an option name "Navigate" just above the "directions". Ensure you have version 4.1.1
[Nexus One General] Highland3r:
Might not be available where you are at the moment.
[Nexus One General] martinsolsen:
Nope dont seem like it, i do not have that navigate option, so it looks like it is only the UK they have opened for. I have the newest maps update, and running stock rom on my nexus one.
[Nexus One General] dubnde:
check this - http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/04/world-just-became-smaller-driving.html
[Nexus One General] timshields:
Working for me :). Running CM 5.0.5.3.

I tried via Google Maps first of all and the option wasnt there, so I installed Nav Launcher from the market and that seems to generate directions.
[Nexus One General] martinsolsen:
Seems like alot of countries got maps navigation, however Denmark is not one of them.

Thank you for the link.
[Nexus One General] theartfullodger:
Works for me, running stock Google Nexus One: Great!!!

(And that GM does directions for Bus/train as well as walking - bleeedin' amazing!!)

Cheers!

Lodger

PS But thanks again to Brut for his hack that made it work on the old version of Google Maps..)
[Nexus One General] opencube:
can confirm its working here too.

In UK with latest Cyanogen on N1.

Been using CoPilot so far which has been ok, but id like to see how google's fair.
[Nexus One General] benjatt:
This is very cool and it has been released by google quicker than I thought it would have been. I haven't used it for a long journey but compared to the hacked version it seems to tell you the instructions before the junction rather than after so good work google. This is some nice proof that google is working hard to improve nexus one. One other note is my version says htc passion and nexus one and it also has my locale as eng (uk).
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Awesome, that's [brut] Maps and Nav Launcher gone from my phone.

Great work, Google!
[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
Yup, working on mine too.

The voice search is superb, just tap the voice search button on the Google search bar, then say "Navigate to" followed by the destination...:D
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Yay. That's the tomtom in the dustbin as soon as my car mount arrives.

Navigation looks really good.. street names too, which was a surprise.
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
if i try and use the google maps application i get force close every time it searches for directions:( it works if i use nav launcher though...anyone got any ideas?

im using latest cm with nextheme and avs kernel...

is there any way of getting the uk speed camera database onto this and quickest route and pois and other sat nav enhancements?
[Nexus One General] BigDamHero:
I'd also like to get speed cameras working. Also with regards to traffic, is there any way to make it try and route around? At the moment it just seems to tell me there is traffic, but not do anything about it.
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
did you update ur maps by OTA?

I am in ROI as well but have still maps ver 3.4.0 and cant seem to

[Nexus One General] attn1:
Didn't know you even had real roads to navigate yet up there in Canada! :D
[Nexus One General] socksfelloff:
sure we do! Toronto was rated the worst city to drive in for the second year in a row woo!

I too would love to get navigation here in canada. I bought the nexus one and tried out the navigation while at my girlfriends ( she lives in buffalo for school) and it worked great, causing me to promptly sell my Garmin GPS.

Of course the first time i tried to use it here i found it didn't work and eventually found out it was disabled for canada. I don't get why. All the adds everywhere for the milestone ( droid in canada) promote the fact how google maps navigation is "built right in".
[Nexus One General] Damo2k:
I updated when I was in Arizona with a AT&T sim.

You can see v4.1.1 with a UK sim card either.
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
just got the update here in ROI on O2 sim and it works great:):)

oh happy days:):):)
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
No. Google 'my maps' has a limit of 1000 points per upload, and you can display a maximum of two of them.

I can't even load my good beer guide POI because that's 4,500 entries.. Speed camera database is more like 12,500.

A bigger issue for me is the power usage - A 1w power adapter isn't enough (and I've been unable to source anything more powerful than that.. 90% of chargers are 500mw)... with nav enabled the battery dropped 10% in 20 minutes *while charging*.

It's a pity because I'd have liked to ditch my tomtom... This is usable for short journeys I guess.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I'm going to test my modified car charger in a bit, hopefully it can sustain a charge with Nav running.
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
I'm eagerly waiting for both, it's pretty ridiculous that we don't have either here yet..
[Nexus One General] AndyBurns:
I

have

seen the battery discharging while the phone is using all radios and connected via USB, but just to correct your power figures ... a 5V 500mA supply (standard USB2) is 2.5W (or 2500mW) and a 5V 1000mA (dedicated charger) is 5W (or 5000mW)

The charging spec does allow for up to 9W, but not sure if that's available over a microUSB connector, or only a standard USB-A connector.

Hey guys, over at the Dream XDA section, i saw a release of the MyTouch 3g Slide rom which is freaking amazing!

Take a look at the AndroidSpin post

http://www.androidspin.com/2010/04/...g1-lots-of-screen-shots-all-i-can-say-is-wow/

Any chance of porting this rom to the nexus one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qiuness:
was wondering this myself
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
Hmm, 3.5 screen.. 3.7 on the Nexus. Along with 2.1 on both devices. It could be ported, but what exactly is the screen resolution of the MyTouch Slide? If its ported but isn't 800x480 or somewhere close, we could be faced with weird size images and graphical issues. And of course with the fact that no one seems to know how to map the keys on the Nexus. Does Paul? Did the Desire ROM not need key mapping?

I don't know what I'm talking about anyways, but it sounds half right using common sense..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippa71385:
I feel the slide UI is a downgrade to the nexus... after the slides been rooted and Cyanogen gets his hands on it and tweaks it, THEN! and only then is it nexus worthy :) I own both a nexus and a slide... Nexus is wayy better but the slide is on par to its price tag... in my opinion
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitzbd:
The myTouch Slide is not WVGA

The slide has a resolution of 320 x 480 according to pdadb.net

I'm asking because the internet in some countries has been interrupted due to a problem with a submarine cable between Egypt and Italy. affecting Gulf, and some Asian countries.

I'm one of the affected and it used to be impossible for me to see any youtube video on (Windows) Internet Explorer, but was strangely possible on Opera, Chrome and Firefox!! All until yesterday when it was working but still a little slow.

HTC orange reports on this forum show variable performance at best. however, most of the people have not been using push exchange mail for work at a heavy rate. The phone has been marketed as a smartphone, ie one you can use for business use. I use push mail linked to my MS exchange server and yesterday my battery did this:

100% at 7.50am

14% at 8pm

I must have had about 20mins talk time and about 10 texts. this is the worst performance i've ever had from any phone i've owned. (if it wasn't such an amazing phone i would have returned it by now). anyway, i drained the battery last night, so lets see what i get out of it today.

any orange ms exchange pushers experienced anything similar.

(ps- whats the point in having a black background on such an amazing screen, thats a bad solution)
[Desire General] Eggcake:
And why exactly did you have to create another Thread for this?
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
Alot of reports are saying that its the calender app that seems to drain the battery the most.

Download a app called spare parts and go into battery history and finaly to partial usage and see for yourself.

I too push email quite a lot on my gmail account as i get like 20-30 emails a day from notifications of new posts that i am subscribed to across various forums like this one and yea my battery is similar to yours.

i am trying to kill the connectivityService running under calender to see if that makes a difference.
[Desire General] tuntang:
why new thread?

because i couldnt see anyone in that thread using the phone with hte same variables and needs as me. eg I dont want to kill the calender, i'm not intersted in wake up or sleep time. i am someone that uses the phone as my main work phone during the day and for leisire in the evenings.

my point is that if i can barely get through the day with PUSH syching, its not really working very effectivley as a business phone. i probably should have put this in the battery thread. and will do in just a sec!
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
Is your phone new?? My phone's battery got alot better after 6 or 7 full charges, i have push enabled for my gmail, hotmail every 15 mins, weather every 6 hours, contacts sync and calendar sync and though i'm not a heavy user (3 or 4 calls a day, 30 mins wifi/internet 3/4 messages 5/6 emails an a little playing around) i'm got 3 days out of my last charge (on the 3rd day it reached the night at about 3%!!!! but i can easily get 2 days with heavy use)

Give it some time and try and find out what's using your battery!!!
