[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I don't think it's Microsoft's decision completely, supporting CDMA seems to be more of an OEM job to me. I also don't believe in the KIN as the reason, that's too minor of an event to make any profound influence, it's not the first or the last phone to fail.

What matters in my opinion is that Verizon clearly won't commit to the new platform, at least at this time, with its heavy investment in Android. The last thing MS wants is Verizon putting WP7 devices on the back burner without giving their salesmen proper training and showing WP7 phones in a bad light. Also, I'm sure VZW is frowning upon Microsoft's disallowing operators to meddle with devices a lot. They clearly like their own marketplaces, replacing maps with their own satnav solutions, disabling tethering and doing all this operator crap. They would probably accept those strict rules from a proven success such as an iPhone, but I can understand their reluctance to commit to a new and unknown OS. There's only so much MS can do about it, and they have to choose their priorities. If AT&T vows to support WP7 than so be it for the time being.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
If I understood this correctly, in wp7 they will be able to extend the marketplace and include their own vendor specific marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
If I understood this correctly, in wp7 they will be able to extend the marketplace and include their own vendor specific marketplace. But yes, Verizon likes to restrict it's phones so you use Verizon services more than other carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
They are the driver of that decision when THEY have to write the drivers necessary for CDMA-based hardware to actually communicate with the OS.

Hell, the fact that it's (most likely) coming out on more than one carrier is really good. When was the last time a v1.0 platform launched on more than one carrier in the US?

Verizon isn't one to try new things a whole lot since they usually get burned when they do (Kin, BB Storm series). They prefer to sit and wait (it took 6 months to get a WebOS device even though the hardware was CDMA already and it took Android almost a year to make it onto the carrier).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, yes, and also they can get a share in Marketplace revenues via operator billing. However, their version of Market for Android is different in that they will allow only approved and tested applications, thus expecting to differentiate from other operators by offering what they think will be better quality software. Now, while I seriously doubt that this will really improve anything for anyone, it shows how they think about platforms they support. Certainly WP7 doesn't give them as much freedom in "improving" things. In case of Android, they can, for example, remove Google Maps and disallow installing this application from Market, forcing subscribers to use their "value added" crapware for a fee. It just won't work in WP7. And so on.

wmexperts: WP7 Rumors: Samsung i8700 now the Omnia 7? The HTC T8788 on Verizon? http://bit.ly/bPrVKP
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I don't quite buy it.

The Omnia II i8000 was a GSM phone.

The Omnia series on Verizon were:

Omnia i910, Omnia II i920

If this Omnia was for verizon, you'd think it would be an i930...or something along that line and not follow the GSM i8000 versioning.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
maybe this is the GSM version of their omnia...
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Yes, but that wouldn't be the verizon model then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
The HTC T8788 is rumored to be headed to AT&T (no surprise there) but the reports shows the phone on the provider myvzw.com, which is indicative of Verizon phones.

But it was talking about the t8788 when it mentioned verizon....
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ it also mentioned the phone was probably piggybacking off of a vzw hotspot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
still no word about a verizon release? Sprint is already taking preorders beginning Dec 8th for their HTC 7 Pro device and we still haveno word from verizon yet this is getting frustrating id hate to leave verizon but its not lookin too good
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I can understand that. Very wise because MS is being way too conservative with this OS. I cannot see WP7 having a chance when common features like free turn by turn nav are not available in such a smartphone like these WP7 phones.

I was all excited about having my HD7 till I came to the point of trying out the built-in Bing nav like I had on my HD2 which has WinMo 6.5. Only one problem!! There is no built-in Bing nav and nothing available at the Market! LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
there is telenav so ther is a soultion.. stop being cheap and just pay or return your device like you posted in other thread... or wait for it.. it took how many years for free turn by turn to reach win 6.5...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Nah... I'll return the WP7 phone and buy a dedicated Android phone. If MS doesn't give me what I want, I can easily go somewhere else. They can continue to sink in the mud.

It's simple, really. Scenario... You see two phones that both look very nice and have a great OS. One has everything free and the other makes you pay. Hmmm....severely hard choice! Eeny, meeny, miny moe, which one to make a Ho?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i wouldn't exactly say that everything in Google Market Place is free... and if you get paid apps for free, you do it illegally...

In saying that, you knew there were things missing from windows phone when you walked into it, and MS have promised to deliver frequent updates, just not sure of the frequency of these updates... but anyways, sad to see you go and hope you don't regreat it in 6 months when most of the things you complain about would hopefully be there...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teutonu:
Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to read the active APN in a system file.

My objective: I would like to automate the timed swap of my two defined APNs: one for the corporate mail and one for the Internet. I am trying to do this through Tasker, which apparently allows the readout of some lines in certain files and some basic if-then-else loops.

Any other possible solutions are welcome.

Until the multiple PDP context issue will be solved by the OS, I would like to tell the device which APN it has to choose based on the active application.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiftyclick:
Firstly, wrong section. At the top it states this is the dev section, not the Q&A section!! Seeing as this is your first post, I would recommend you read the rules, might keep your account longer.

As for the file you are looking for, it is /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Don't know how reliably this will work for you for an on-the-fly change.. Where the actual live setting is stored, i do not know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teutonu:
Hello again.

Yes, it is my first post. I am sorry if I have disturbed you by posting in the wrong section. If it really is at the wrong place I am asking the admin to move the post.

I want to say that I highly appreciate the work of all of you devs. I expressed it by also paying some of those whose work I am using on a daily basis.

But.... I must confess that I posted here on purpose. Because I thought this is the place where the most knowledge is concentrated.

Kindest regards.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattyfresh11:
Phone keeps getting stuck at 4g screen have waited for as long as 15 min b4 pulling battery and restoring

First of all I'm running the newest public version on fresh. It is deodexed correct?

Have tried themes with different roms

I have tried putting themes on my phone using the recovery method and the Rom manager

Also have tried with both clockwork and ra recovery

Haven't tried again since I switched back to ra recovery. I will try after work

I may only have 2 posts but I have gotten this far by simply reading then trial and error. Tried searching for someone with same problem and cannot find anything please help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
what theme are you using. Something to watch out for is that some themes will say they are for CM6 currently themes for CM6 or ASOP roms do not work for sense and vice versus. some will have 2 versions of the theme and you want to make sure with fresh that you have the Sense version.

another thing since i dont know exactly what you are doing when you flash is make sure you do not wipe cache or dalvik when flashing a theme. I have always run into problems when doing so and when i dont have been just fine.

Lastly if you are flashing a rom before flashign a theme make sure you boot the rom fully at least once before flashing a theme. My normal procedure is to

factory wipe/cahce/dalvik.

flash kernel

boot into the rom

go back into recovery and flash the theme i want

flash any additional addons to the theme (some have these like manups and riptide)

flash to remove htc lock screen (i prefer vanilla)
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
Not sure if its already possible to root the 2.2 official froyo or does any root method still work. Please send me link. Thx in advance
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
i think you can go back to 2.1 then get s-off so youn can root. search for it its here.
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
So downgrade.to 2.1 root it then update again to 2.2?
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
Downgrade, root, s-off, then 2.2
[Droid Incredible General] mikeymop:
how would we flash clockwork mod recovery after we update to 2.2 again? Could we just download ROM manager if we have S-OFF and install recovery from there?
[Droid Incredible General] lamusician:
Was on the same boat. The "want froyo and root " thread has a good step by step. There are some files you will need to download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyc_zx10:
Was running DC3.5. Flashed CM6.0 and still having the same behavior...

When unlocking the screen, i see a slight trace of an animated/live weather. Sort of like a sun/cloud. I can only see it vaguely though and I cant figure out what app its coming from.

Any ideas?

I'm running Beautiful Widget but the image I am seeing is like a live weather image of the sun and cloud parting ways.

Im stumped:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon:
I'm personally not using that widget but the widget I am using (Weather & Clock) has an addon with settings that animate upon unlock.

See attachment.

If you can't find it in running apps or something perhaps a complete wipe and reflash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyc_zx10:
I owe you a beer!

I also have that widget but dont really use it as I prefer Beautiful Widgets but for some reason, not being enabled (the widget) those settings were still active. Unchecked that setting and all is well!

Thanks again!

I just got a refurb evo with 2.1 loaded on it

Once I get RA Recovery back installed via TOASTS method - can I just restore my NAND Backup that I made before I took the other EVO in?

Thanks !

Probably. You may run into issues if the two devices are different hardware revisions or something, I don't know. But it can't hurt to try.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
Absolutely have put my nandroid's on clients and friends phone. They liked my setup and was easier than flashing everything lol. Connect phone to puter. Disk drive obviously open nandroid folder. Move your saved nandroids individually from your computer to the very last folder of your nandroid folder on if SD card. Making sense, basically folders go nandroid, device number, backups. If you do not have a nandroid folder then after you do recovery do a quick backup and then u will have one on ur phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slag02:
I would like to thank both of you for your quick replies

So I went to the sprint store earlier.. got my EVO replacement.. 002 with the glitter back and 2.1

cool..

Got home found out the USB port was busted..like bad...

Drove back up...they apologized... and then the tech grabedd another refurb box off the shelf..

This time.. White EVO 4g.. Brand new.. sprint stickers on it and everything.. 2.2..build date printed on the battery cover... the first refurb did not have that

Just now got back to rooted 2.2 with RA Recovery.. going to try to move the backup from the other NAND folder to the new one.. and hope 4g wont break

Thanks

again!

Folks, Not sure what to make it. I tried doing couple of speed tests with speakeasy.net tethering my laptop with samsung vibrant and I see consistently 10mb/sec download and 4mb/sec upload !!!!!. Im testing this in MY metro area

Is something wrong ??. Is speakeasy giving wrong info ??. Can someone in NY area check tethering speed ??. Looks like speak easy is downloading a 10mb file for test. What am I missing. i thought HSPA is max 7.2mb/sec theoretical.

Using swype on a virtual kb on the go, your is going to have to do....rest assured, I know the difference.

Although I know where the name came from, its completely out of context and entirely unnecessary. Choosing such a name further reinforces the lack of intelligence.

Same thing as using the N word as a user name, even though its used casually in some cases. Still insulting and unacceptable

[Vibrant General] pablo1215:
Pretty sure no Tmobile phone can get 10 meg download speeds even if on hspa+. I live in hspa+ and max my vibrant has gotten is 6meg down. Ive used the speedtest.net app and also the speedtest.net website while tethering also.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
It amazes me the rudeness of this forum, where more bandwidth is spent on complaining about the bandwidth spent by so called stupid questions than on actually providing answers or helping people.

Anyway, back to topic. Even though t-mobile has enabled 21 mbps burst speeds on selected markets, a far as I'm concerned, the vibrant is limited by hardware to 7.2 or so. I think the upcoming G2 will be the first 21 mbps device on the market.

Speed tests are not very accurate in all cases. I remember when I had my touch pro 2 windows mobile device I would impress people by showing them it was able to download up to 12 mbps using a site called mobile speed test dot com. You simply repeated the test many times and progressively selected a bigger file size until you got those fabulous speeds.

I've found speed test app to be quite reliable, but if it shows speeds greater than 7 mbps, I wouldn't trust it.
[Vibrant General] pablo1215:
Correct, the G2 will be the first hpsa+ phone but even then Im hearing its only going to be able to do 14.4mbps max not the full 21mbps. Still faster than any phone on any carrier so not too shabby. Just not full 21mbps.....yet!!!
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
You're probably getting some kind of false loopback or something.

use speedtest.net or dslreports.net speed tests and post your results.

Also, yes, the Vibrant is hardware limited to 7.2mbps.

It's possible the OP had WiFi enabled....
[Vibrant General] dcchristopher:
Aaah, a perfect example of how true racism is quiet and subtle and not ostensibly offensive, like in the case of TJH. Bravo, FreedomCaller! :p

Come on, now ... this post is about as deserving of helpful feedback as "I woke up this morning with a burning itch in the nether-regions." As others have noted, this could have been the result of WiFi being turned on or an artifact due to loop-back. The onus is on the OP to provide meaningful evidence which would rule out user error. We can't all break out our emergency kits every time someone thinks they're having a heart-attack ... "no, wait, it was just gas."

No worries, zimphishmonger, I totally understand ... I've been the victim of swype's (mis)prediction often enough ... I'm just saying, do not judge lest ye be judged. We all have our own irksome triggers. When dealing with TJH being provocative online (lest I drop the T-word), you have to live and let live. Also, you ought to be consistent and not play favorites ... why no outrage against AJFTL? North Koreans would not appreciate people making fun of the Dear Leader. :)

i cannot take video after i've flashed the 2.2 onto my nexus one. (flashed to modaco custom ROM r21 for the google nexus one (FRF91)) i read that in their was a newer flash for the camera radio to repair this.....

is there a way to flash the 720p video taking ability onto the nexus one with a different provider than modaco?

can someone recommend a stable option for me???
