[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
ActiveSync has never been very good for copying files... It's slow and sometimes fails to transfer certain files in my experience from using it with a Trinity, Diamond, Diamond2 and HD2... Use the disk transfer mode and you shouldn't have any trouble...

My Tomtom can see both of my maps so I don't know what you're doing wrong...

All the little problems I had with my HD2 vanished when I finally decided to flash a cooked ROM so youmight want to give that a go...

And not that it makes any difference, but I see that you're an SFR subscriber, so if you got the phone from them, you probably got the phone for less than 100€ like myself... :p
[HD2 General] Doppler2008:
hello,

my phone is not done buy SFR but i bought it

Tomtom can see one carte one time, if i put them together, he does not do

I finally returned to my old sandisk 2Gb carte but i still have some problems and phone blocks and i need to do a reset!
[Touch HD General] ukbatole:
My touch hd is constantly connecting to internet. If I switch data connection off a second later it is connected again. My internet is free but if I travel abroad they charge me a lot of money for that. Anyone knows what to do? Is it common problem? Michael
[Touch HD General] handsomedog:
Sounds like you've been into an advanced config utility and set the phone to automatically start a data connection, or you have a app running which uses a a data connection (IM or similar)
[Touch HD General] willcor:
i had the same problem once or twice ..over period of time ..!

(i also agree with above, handsomedog ,statement )

what i did was one of two things .... ..went to..

"my device..windows\startup "..and checked which applications is listed

to start up and ..delete the " relevant appl." if found in startup folder (..... .ink )or go to that application and configure it ...to connect to internet.. manually( if application has that option )

otherwise, i checked my task manager /processes( use a good task manager eg.. Fdc task manager..to see and kill relevant process )

close and soft reboot

(with above method, i have always traced the culprit ,and sorted

relevant problem out )

try it if you want to, it might work for you !

good luck ,

willcor

Thank you it helped a lot... no more problems :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] misio9:
Hi, guys I`ve been searching for the past 5 hours but couldn`t find any solution. When I power up my mytouch it doesn`t boot up but goes to fastboot menu, phone has never been rooted and this happened when I took the battery out while phone was on. I flashed ROM (SAPPIMG file) everything went OK but even after that no matter what You do phone goes to fastboot menu. Am I bricked ??? Any help needed. Thank You !!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
This doesn't seem to be related to developing a ROM, so I'll move it to General so you can get some responses.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] misio9:
Yes U r right, my fault, thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] helinus:
For number 2 and 3, do you use Gmail, Exchange, POP or IMAP for your mail?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
It's BT's Yahoo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] helinus:
From what i can see om BT's website there email-offering does only support POP which does not update read-status to the server.

Are you sure you get new emails to your PC when your phone downloads emails aswell?

usually when something downloads emails from an POP-server it takes the emails from the server so that it's only available om the thing that downloaded the email.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Beards, I don't know how it is on the Yahoo email but on the Gmail Android application we go in settings and we change the sound notification.

For SMS in settings isn't there a sound notification alert setting? usually on Android there is and you click it and you decide which ringtone you want, same for email.

Try ChompSMS from the Market (along with Handcent it's the best one in my opinion)

you can customize the ringtones, etc.. and it's a very nice application for SMS (also bubble chat).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thanks helinus but all I know is on the HD2 when it receives emails it does not alter anything on the PC's Yahoo Mail web page.

Even further, with the HD2 if you have a look at the email messages and mark them as read, when you next go to your PC the messages are still shown as new marked as unread.

This appears to be totally different with the Galaxy S.

I had a talk with my Brother who has a Desire and he says like the HD2 the email messages on the PC remain unread.

You are so, so correct and I can not understand how on earth I missed this.

First at the Messages settings I altered the ringtone then I went to the Yahoo email settings and altered this to a different ringtone.....

Now I have different sounds for both text & email.... thanks Archius. :o

All I need to do now is sort out items 1, 2 & 3. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
you're welcome :)

for item 1. you can download Chompsms or Handcent and both have a "widget/icon" that has a number next to it that indicates how many new sms you have. (or maybe you can find an app in the market that tells you how many new sms's you have, search for "sms" in the market or try different words)

For the email part, hmmmm.. I use gmail and there's an app that includes a widget for gmail with the same icon as the original while at the same time revealing how many emails we have with a number on the icon... try to find something similar for Yahoo mail ? but it won't be for the lock screen since this phone is brand new, we'll have to wait til people make applications for the phone.

part 3.. I use gmail and it has labels in the gmail app on Android and there's a separate Spam folder... not sure why Yahoo is like that :S.. same for the part where it "reads" the emails on your desktop without you reading them on the phone..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thanks, I'll have a look at what the Market can offer.

Interesting... I have both a Gmail & Yahoo account.

I'll check out the GMail App ~ do you have a name for it?

I'll see if there's anything similar for Yahoo.

Yes, I see what you mean with GMail ~ it does indeed have an item in the menu named View Labels.

Interestingly there was no Spam folder though.

Also under settings, theres an item named Labels which you can select which are synchronized.

However, back at Yahoo account (for anything other than Gmail)

It's a much better looking account and has more tabs for selecting Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Trash but no Spam.

Nor is there anything in the settings to show any labels.

I suppose as you don't use Yahoo you can't really comment on Item 2 ~ ' All New Emails on a PC showing as Read'.

This one has me flummoxed.

As I mentioned to helinus it's totally different to the HD2 and even on a Desire it doesn't effect the content on the server... Simply switch on the PC, check your email messages and they are still there all marked as unread.

I wouldn't mind so much if after I had checked the messages first on the Galaxy it then marked all messages read as read but no..... You don't even have to switch the Galaxy S on to find when you go to the PC all messages are marked as read.

Right mate... must go.

I have a speech to write tonight and hopefully a little time to do a Market search or two....... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
This is the application:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/se.alexanderblom.gmailunreadcount

Gmail Unread Count, simply download from market and use it as a widget (not from the app tray but from the widgets menu)

and simply set up the image to "post something" i forget the name (I no longer have my Android cell I sold it today and getting ready for galaxy s tomorrow or after tomorrow)

There are many images to choose from, my favorite is the post... because it's the same as the 2.1 version.

I was using version 1.5 of Android and I THINK there was Spam folder in Gmail hehe, I do remember it being there... would be strange if they removed it in 2.1.. I doubt it, maybe you should try to make it "sync all" for spam in the settings menu of labels.

have a good night and speech =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
cool info, somewhat similar to what i was looking for :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shaneaus:
Also, try K9Mail from the market. It is one of the BEST email apps bar none and it is free. It may provide what you are looking for - link is for appbrain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vrhunski:
or this?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.jonasl.gmailnotifier2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Okay... having now had time to play with the settings and less time in theatre, with the help of friends here I've managed to sort out 1 & 4.

I didn't go with any outside Apps/Widgets. In the end I found for SMS, as soon as you switch on the phone at the lock screen if there is any text messages you get a 'jigsaw pattern' with a peace of a jigsaw taken from the complete jigsaw and marked in solid green.

As to the email notification it's now a simple matter of pulling down the Notification window at the top of the screen. It displays all emails from all accounts.

It also shows if you have any text messages as well.

All I need now to do is solve 2 & 3 but I suppose just like 1 & 4 it's a case of less theatre and more hands on the Galaxy S. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Right......

I have another query to add to the list:-

5. No Filter Support on Android Mail

On the PC I use Yahoo for mail and like other email programs it supports filters where you can add as many folders as you wish.

I have many folders which when mail comes to my yahoo account is automatically filtered to a particular folder ~ as in I have a filter marked 'Brother' where all my Brother's email gets dropped automatically into and when new mail comes in his folder it is shown in bold and indicates such with a number of how many email messages he has sent.

On Windows Mobile, i.e. the Touch HD & HD2 in particular to have the phones display mail that is sent to these filtered folders you select to Manage Folders and add them to the list of messages to download to the phone and view/reply to.

On Android i.e. the Galaxy S there does not appear to be any means of viewing these filtered folders. As such all mail sent to these folders is not received by the phone.

Therefore, does anyone know of a method like on Windows Mobile where you can display these folders?

I'll add this item 5 to my opening post so that anyone new will understand all 5 items.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Yahoo mail does not support IMAP and therefore no folders.

I once had IMAP on yahoo with old touch hd but tried and never got it back.

IMAP by nature will ALWAYS mark messages read if read on another mail host, you probably were using POP.

Then tell me Mark how the heck does the HD2 on Windows Mobile support it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Here's another question to add ~ Text Message Character Counting

6. Text Message Character Counting

Again on Windows Mobile Touch HD & HD2 when you went to compose a Text Message whilst you tapped away at your message it would count the characters being used.

Although most of us have an unlimited sms account I used to find this feature useful in that it at least showed me how many text messages it would be to generate the long message.

Quite often I used to try and get the character count down to a single text message quote of just 160 characters or 240 for two messages.

So, the question here is ~ how do we get Android to show the character count?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Get Chompsms or Handcent Beards to have character counting lol

now I got the phone yesterday finally :D:D!!

and yes Gmail does have Spam, and has all folders.

consider using gmail though I know you would prefer to use Yahoo..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Hi Archius,

Pleased you got your Galaxy S.

I'm afraid due to my business commitments and other ties I have to use Yahoo.

Besides, why should we have to change a browser just to accommodate the Galaxy S?

I've found a 'workaround' but it's not ideal......

I've created a bookmark icon which automatically loads Internet Yahoo Mail.

At least I get to see exactly what I see on the PC.

Trouble is I've now come across another problem which I'll have to add to the list and that is replying to an email message from within the client's (Yahoo) browser. See below.

7. Replying to Yahoo Email Messages directly from the App 'Internet'

I have created a bookmark icon on the Galaxy S which automatically launches the App Internet then the bookmark Yahoo Mail.

I've noticed every time I try to reply to an email message from within the Internet yahoo client (not the Android mail App) it will not allow you to add any text.

Does anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
That's a strange problem and I would not like that at all!

Try using another Internet app.

From the Market try "Dolphin"

also try "xscope"

try "opera"

"skyfire" also

try these four (start with xscope since I think it is the fastest and most stable)

and tell me how it goes =) I hope it will work out for you.

Did you try searching for an app called Yahoo? or k9mail. etc...

Hey, i watch fullmetal alchemist on funimation's site all the time with the stock browser and htc's flash lite, it works like a charm! just long hold on the video and play it in fullscreen, performance seems better that way.

Hello,

I made redesign of Windows Phone 7. What do you say (on the left is my redesign, on the bottom is MS design)?

EDIT: Small changes... on the right image is preview of scrolling. Updated current WP7 preview (thanks DatDereX1).
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
its..not bad at all...I likey
[Windows Phone 7 General] Scotsman828:
Looks a hell of a lot better than MS boring UI!
[Windows Phone 7 General] theredundant:
i like it! better than metro
[Windows Phone 7 General] mschumacher69:
Exactly! Now that's what I'm talking about!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] NarSan:
It's better than Metro UI but maybe You can make UI like HTC Sens but for WP7...

For me, it must be more color...
[Windows Phone 7 General] mschumacher69:
Yeah it still needs more color, this blue thing is not working fro me, but this is still much better than the original UI! I really can't understand what they were thinking when they created this dull UI!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I like the original. Yours is too busy. Sometimes simpler is better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
MS design is betterer.

and that's an old pic of WP7 bro. Just sayin'
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
Looks like android with a wp7 theme, i like wp7 layout better
[Windows Phone 7 General] Helmore:
Looks a bit like MotoBLUR to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Too much going on with that one. I like the new homescreen not the one you have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Nah, your homescreen is too busy. You have to consider the fact that WP7 tiles are animated too.

I like the big targets of WP7 because in day to day use it will be easy to hit those without too much slowing down and aiming. I thinks its one of those user experience things people may not notice until the phone is actually in their hands.

The only change I would like to see in the home screen is some transparency to the background image.
[Windows Phone 7 General] samy.3660:
yours is too much old windows mobile... frankly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-hq:
In my eyes your little arrows are too "iPhoney". Also the round edges and ultrabig buttons at the bottom kill it for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Sorry, but i'll have to go with MS' design.

Yours is very busy, while theirs is elegant and clean.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Blue Ice K4:
i think that the standard wp7 metro ui it already complete and doesn't need label for icon, because they are already "explicit" for the target, adding label it's a duplication of information (label + icon) and result it's an heavier ui...

i'd like having the ability to change te background color of every tile, having the possibility to set a gradient, and the main background.

i think that it's only a matter of time that wp7 is released and we become familiar with the new ui and os :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] souljaboy:
yours looks like the "modular" n97 homescreen ... i prefer titanium over both its the real eye candy , not some blue boxes on black
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anzze:
I think you did an excellent job. :) I always thought WP7 looks a bit too simple, but I guess that's what Microsoft wanted...

Thanks for an updated WP7 screen ;) I have updated mine :o
[Windows Phone 7 General] EgomaniacIII:
Blue Ice K4

If you look at the MS version it still has those labels, so all the Op did was move them and make them look nicer.

I personally really like the OP's version. The rounded edges really soften it up a lot.

And moving the arrows down to the bottom really frees up a TON of empty space that MS has there for no apparent reason. Which also allows for bigger icons which look much nicer.

And the icons at the top look good too. It's nice to be able to check things out at a glance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Iridox:
This totally defeats the purpose of the typographic GUI.

Nope.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
The only think I would change about the home screen is by pushing the the start button again while on the home screen it brings up your apps or even by swiping over and getting rid of the arrow that takes up a portion of the right hand side in order to make the icons bigger and fill the screen then maybe adding the option for transparency to add a background image.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bkf1:
To IRIDOX:

Finally someone noticed the MS design is about typography;) So what is typography design for primarily? For reading. This means it is perfect for using in magazines, books, webpages... everywhere where is main emphasis placed on text because there is a LOT of text on large area and where is a lot of text it should not be disturbed by graphics (graphics elements should be used very carefully and generally in small amount) - graphics is complementing the text. But UI (User Interface) is something different. The main difference is INTERACTIVITY and GRAPHICS (it should be graphically friendly... but of course it should not be "flashing flying circus" :) ). In UI is generally MUCH LESS text and it is often shortened - text is complementing the graphics.

So this is why I don't think that strict typographic design is suitable for UI designs. Maybe when we all will process LARGE amount of text everyday... like in Star Trek :) (look on LCARS screens and you found out that this is not totally different from MS design but in LCARS it has it's purpose - a lot of text and information):
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's good for everything. "Exit" is much better than a cryptic sign with an arrow and a square, restrooms in a bar are much easier to find when they have signs indicating sex in plain language rather than triangles with circles on top, etc. etc. etc. etc. If I want to make a call I prefer a button that says, "Call", rather than a stylized handset hanging in vacuum.

If anything, WP7 has too many icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bkf1:
Yes this is good for unknown ambience somewhere on the street atd. BUT user interface is mentioned to be personal thing what user will explore and customize after some time like your own room (or you change your phone every week?). BTW what do you think about e.g. basic two buttons on the phones (green and red characterictic icons)? Do you really think the better would be replace it with text?
