[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8525Smart:
Which...is the same way everyone competes. All companies improve their products by throwing cash at it, developing it further, and advertising it. Microsoft may be extremely wealthy, but that doesn't mean much when their competitors are Apple, Google, RIM, and Nokia; all of which are among the wealthiest companies on Earth.

To get to the point, Microsoft may have money to spend, but so do their competitors. To make the point more poignant, Microsoft can't just make features magically appear by throwing $2Bn at it. They will have to spend time developing it.

Life2Monkeys has a great point. WP7 is a fresh start for Microsoft, but it's an extremely crippled fresh start. Right off the bat, they're far behind competitors that are already dominating the market, and currently taking WM6.5's marketshare. Of course, WP7 won't remain crippled forever, but considering they're already starting with major disadvantages, time is against them. The longer they take to become competitive, the more it hurts their marketshare.

P.S. As of Q2 2010, Windows Mobile is fourth in marketshare, not third. Their marketshare is almost 5x lower than the third place (which is Android). This is in comparison to 2008 when their marketshare was 14%; that means that over the course of two years, Microsoft lost almost 80% of their total marketshare.

So, yes, I'm afraid their 'auto-pilot' is costing them.

I agree that other companies in the space have a lot of money too, but none of them even come close to the R&D budget of MS. It is rediculous that they spend Billions a year on R&D.

Also Microsoft is not afraid to loose money on something just to get its name out there. Xbox 360 is a blackhole of money, about 1.4 Billion worth lost to the RROD alone. I am sorry but if Apple or Google lost 1.4 Billion on anything they would not keep going. Either out of lack of resources or common sense would kick in and they would stop.

To MS it is advertising in the next generation. They will just keep loosing money because it allows them to develope frameworks and other services that will eventually start paying them back on later generations of the devices.

I guess you haven't done much copy & pasting in Android, at least, not on the Galaxy in email nor Calendar.

Wm6.3 had excellent global copy & paste from any text field so my chips are on wm7 coming out with it no matter what the leaks say. And of course wm6.5 had multitasking. And of course it had a billion apps to choose from every french PDA site under the sun.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dareoth:
Windows Mobile isn't open source, so you can't install it on a phone that doesn't come with it pre-installed. So only a WinMo phone can dual boot both WM and Android. (I mean, with the right amount of work I suppose it could be done, but it couldn't be legally distributed anywhere.) There almost assuredly will be (or has this been confirmed?) a Samsung phone that is basically a Galaxy S Windows phone. So that will likely see an Android port at some point. If you can't wait to have both, the HD2 is the best bet for that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8525Smart:
And again, this is how all companies operate. The second paragraph there would describe Google perfectly. My friend, seriously. You should do some research. For example, your claim that Microsoft's R&D budget dwarfs the other companies' R&D budget?

Microsoft's R&D budget is currently about $9Bn and the majority of that is dedicated to enterprise issues. The rest is spread out amongst a variety of different products, including their OS, servers, cloud computing, and a series of random research into potential new tech. How much of that is dedicated to Windows Phone? Seems like reports are pointing to $500Mn. Not even a billion.

By comparison, Nokia's R&D budget in 2010 was $7.7Bn, which they said was invested in Symbian software/services, so yes, it's pretty much all smartphone R&D spending. If you're wondering, the answer is yes, RIM also surpasses Microsoft's R&D budget ($1Bn). The only ones I'm unsure about are Google and Apple (as I can't find info itemizing their R&D budget), but frankly, your point has been disproven already.

It seems to me you can't get over the reality that Microsoft is doing very badly in the mobile space and trying to use their immense wealth as a bargaining chip that they'll get back on top. If I can't convince you, that's fine, but on a concluding note, here is a quote:

"You know, our friends up north spend over $5 billion a year on R&D and yet these days all they seem to do is try to copy Google and Apple. I guess it's a good example of how money isn't everything." - Steve Jobs
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/142...soft-delivered-on-its-enormous-r-d-investment

I was talking specifically about this article. I did not mention RIM because Microsoft is not competing with them on WP7. That is why they have Windows Embedded Mobile for the enterprise customers. Also I did not mention Nokia because I live in the good ol' USA and that was the market I was talking about. Nokia market share worldwide is impressive but here in America it's a little weak.

Nokia spent 7.7 and MS is spending 9.5. 2 Billion is a lot in most people's books. If you think Nokia does not research outside thier current market you are crazy that is one of the points of R&D.

Anyway in comparison to Apple and Google (which is what I am, and was talking about) they are spending way, way more money. Apple and Google also have other buisness technologies that they spend thier R&D on also.

My point stands, MS loves wasting money more than anyone else, because on top of the 9.5B in R&D, they took a huge loss on Xbox, and Kin and continue to push ahead. On top of that they are still spending a ton of cash on advertising. It's like no one is looking after the bottom line at all. They might not even have an accoutning department. LOL.

If they commit to wasting money on Mobile then I guarentee they are gonna do it. They are already spending money on it like starting game Studios and paying developers directly to write apps. They could easily move Millions of dollars into the mobile budget if they had too. Other compaines might have to check with shareholders before they do that.

Anyway I am saying the same thing as you, they are speding thier money to try and buy market share. The problem is that if they commit to spend that kind of money eventually they will win.

Ie, MS tried to buy Yahoo! which would make them the largest search engine. Google did not like this and tried to block them and it worked....for a little while. Head over to Yahoo and you will notice it is now Yahoo search powered by Bing. Looks like MS bought a ton of users which makes them the largest search engine now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8525Smart:
Actually, it seems to me we're saying different things and you also seem to be ignoring the sources I provide directly contradicting your claims in each post. As I said, if I can't convince you, that's fine, but, unfortunately, I really do not see the point of continuing this argument.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:
I did read them I just don't agree with what you are conveying. I do respect your opinion though and am not trying to argue in the least. Just talking is all.

Anyway, I am just saying that MS is putting a lot into WP7 and Google and Apple should be less than happy about this. R&D dollars was just as example. But really is Apple or Google starting Game Studios? Giving out free dev tools and premiere slots in the app market? Paying app developers to port specific popular games to the platform? Striking multi-application deals with app and game developers? They are in it to win it and if they need to spend a few Billion dollars on it they will do it.

Either way Apple and Google will loose buisness to them, Microsoft is still in third place on smartphone marketshare and they haven't released anything new in several years. Thats like decades in the mobile industry. If MS is really committed to this they could put out some big numbers in the next couple of years.

Shadow is right, the problem exists mainly in the kernel not the rom, but it's true that it's worst for some people.

happy to say that I have virtually no screen freezes! Here's what I did:

using setcpu overclock to 1152 and set it to interactive, then set on boot.

That's all.

If you still have problems, disable background sync. That did it for me in 1.5b.

[Droid X Android Development] BBCasper:
I've been searching for nearly an hour and have yet to see any of the problems I've been having. I may have overlooked them, and I'm not about to go digging within the 200+ replies on some threads, so I'll ask here.

When I'm in a voice call the phone makes the "beep beep" noise like I have a call waiting. It's not and it isn't a text/email or anything. It's an annoying beep that won't stop for anything. It happens about every 10-15 seconds throughout the entire call.

Second, my headphones jack isn't working. It was prior to 2.2, but it isn't now.

Does anyone have any info on these issues?
[Droid X Android Development] avlfive:
Not here, sorry.

You mean the one that lights up the screen to more quickly drain the battery when you are trying to get the last few minutes out of your battery? Yeah, there's no way to turn that off.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big99gt:
Not yet but it has been brought up and I'm sure someone is working on it because of the way the phone shuts down certain features when the battery gets low (camera, etc).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number55:
Myself and a workmate have A HTC Desire and Wildfire.

We have a free browsing unprotected wifi network in our admin building and we are unable to find it on our 2 new Telstra branded phones.

We noth had different windows based phones previously which still connect fine. There is also users of iphones and nokia phones that are still using the network.

But neither of us are able to see it. a different security enabled network shows up (which has previously).

I dont think its the routers as the security enable network I can see is fed from the exact same style modem/router that i'm trying to connect to!

This is a super pain as we are to rely on this network to DL any Apps.

hi, i have downloaded mgmaps in my hd2 as per the first email. i am able to view and browse through the maps. however the problem is that everytime i zoom in or move the map just slightly it asks:

"Untrusted application mobile GMaps wants to read data located on this device or removable media attached to this device. Do you allow read user data?"

the above message appears several times consecutively before i am able to see the map.

How to resolve this issue?? would appreciate any help from the experts.

Please read carefully file -- instructions.txt.

I have followed all instructions as is written in that file and Mgmaps no loonger asking for permissions.

there are steps for security (take attention on step Nr. 21- don't forget 3 traling spaces) :

18) [Optional] Exit the MGMap app, goto HD2's "Settings"->"Other"->"Java", click "Menu.."->"Actions"->"Security", and set the permission settings to "Session only" etc.

19) Copy and *backup* the file selector.utf from HD2's \Windows\AppDB\ to your PC (Tip6)

20) Download HEX Edit and unzip into your PC (File4)

21) Open HEX Edit application, open file selector.utf copied in Step-19, change the value "domain=midp1" to "domain=tckmax " (3 trailing spaces) (Screen1)

22) Save the file and copy it back to HD's \Windows\AppDB\

23) Download policy.utf and copy to HD's \Application Data\JavaDB\ (need to create these folder) (Ref4)(File4)

24) Launch MGMaps from HD2's Start\ again, hola! no loonger asking for permissions while you can browse the offline maps

Good luck :)

One more thing should not the "exclamation" sign of delivery report change to a "tick" after getting delivered? It is quite annoying to long press the msg nd then select delivery report to view the status??

The myTouch only allows me to get into bootloader (no recovery) and won't let me make changes. Was running fine until I changed radio to 6.35.10.18 using engineering SPL 2010. Any ideas suggestions?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
I haven't used my magic for a long time since I've moved on to nexus, but if I recall correctly, you're phone is not supposed to use 6.35 radio. I could be wrong, can you at least get into fastboot? If not, sounds bricked to me. If it works, then it's because your radio doesn't correspond with your SPL.

From memory, 6.35 radio goes with 1.76.x SPL, 3.22 or 2.22 (i dont remmeber the 2.xx radio) = 1.33.x SPL

Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON G

CPLD-13

RADIO-6.35.10.18

I am using myTouch 3G 1.2 with Headphone jack.

After flashing the 6.35.10.18 radio I panicked that I had lost recovery. When that happened, I tried to flash the 1.76.xx SPL, but

I accidentally flashed the Perfected SPL 1.33.0013 instead.

Now, I can't change either the SPL or the radio. It's a head scratcher at this point. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. I hope that this thing isn't toast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Dude, got you covered. Let me get to a computer, 5 minutes.

EDIT: OK, follow these steps and you should be good. The only issue you might have is making the GoldCard since you can't get into your phone. I'm guessing you already have one since you flashed the radio, so use the same one. If not, then you'll need to borrow an Android phone from a friend and make the GoldCard using it. You can only use the 2.xx radio that comes stock with the myTouch 1.2 or else your ROM either won't load or your touchscreen won't work or you'll really brick you phone. That guide will get you to where you need to be.

I followed the steps over again (which basically was the original root process) and still no dice. It doesn't want to accept the Sappimg. Tried changing goldcard and making new one. Can't change radio. I think the device is partially bricked. You don't have any other suggestions, do you? Would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to search the forum here for an actual PRL file -- they are out there. I believe there is even a "PRL Index" thread in the Dev forum that has a lot of them listed in the same place.

Also, yes you can rename a nandroid file. Don't rename the outer folder that is your serial number (nandroid won't read them if you do this), but you can rename those inner folders that have the long time/date numbers.
