Not sure if anyone already posted song Zune, tips but here is couple i found.

1. while connected to Zune software clicks on phone settings and enable wireless sync, this will automatically sync your media while it is on the charger.

2. while playing a song touch list of music underneath the album art to bring up a quick song list

3. touch the artist name to see all his albums and songs on your phone

4. to download music with Zune pass look for album in the marketplace and hold the album art to bring up a sub menu

5. click and hold on a album or song to pin it to the home page

hope these tips help

After enabling the Zune drives try this tip for watching xvids without reencoding, not perfect though http://bit.ly/bXoUSF
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thank you.

Not perfect, but very promissing ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
cool tip , tomorrow I will update the first view posts :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
why would you want to do this???

Zune autoconverts .avi and .xvid files to playable zune content that you can then drag and drop onto your phone.

Why are y'all trying to make this more complicated than it needs to be???:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
According to this tweet:

Can anyone confirm that? Is he talking about the default password we can set up on lockscreen? Personally, I don't like that kind of 'feature'. It would be much better that instead of the wipe it would require to reset the password by connecting phone to computer and using Zune which already is paired with that device (so only the real owner could reset the password).
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
I dont he is talking about the pass protected lock screen, because mine didnt do that when my mates were mashing the code.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
Don't know for sure but I think that his way is faster ( recoding cost lots of time )
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
it's automatic. You don't have to do anything, it finds any video on your computer and does it for you. I didn't even know it did that at first and was looking at converting videos.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VonCrisp:
The trouble here is that the Zune software is buggy and that it will convert mp4s even if they are in the right size and bit rate. Support for avi containers has been taken out so the Zune software converts the video into mp4 where as the quicker way would be to demux it ... ie change the container to mp4 and leave the insides as they are.

In all honesty. Zune shouldn't even be converting xvid/avi since the ZuneHD played them fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] marauderz:
Based on the Zune converted files I pulled out of my LG, Zune converts it to WMV format even though the original filename and extension is maintained when copying into the media store.

Why is Zune converting videos that the device can play properly? Its a hunch but I'd say its because MS disabled the media store access in the first place n therefore didn't include the list of supported codecs in the phone's firmware. Hence when Zune queries the phone for supported codecs it only gets windows media.

That's my hunch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] marauderz:
Zune software is also quite stringent in deciding what files it will attempt to convert. Instead of blindly relying on the installed codecs on your system and build a DirectShow filter graph to convert the output it'll actually check to see the container and stream types are in the supported list.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
Can you check that you have your setting in Zune like in the image below? If the second option is checked it might be the reason Zune converts files device can play already.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Right, I fully agree.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I don't know about that and I would guess most end users don't either. As long as they can drag and drop the files and they play properly, they won't care.

I haven't had any instances of any videos not playing on my hd7, so for me it's working just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] marauderz:
tried the setting, and got some surprising results that adds weight to my hunch that Zune is picky about what kind of files it will put into it's media collection.

It DOESNT want the MPEG4 container which contains an MPEG4 video stream and an MP3 audio stream. Its fine with MPEG4 container hodling MPEG4 video + AAC audio though.

But I'm guessing for downloadable videos AAC is always paired with H.264?
[Windows Phone 7 General] marauderz:
Sorry about the staggered replies.

After setting the setting to NOT convert files as mentioned in the above post. Zune still deciding to reencode a MP4 container with H.264 video + AAC audio. Said 720P file plays FINE when dropped through the media folders.

I don't believe that the import sim tips and tricks section is correct. If you go to Settings>Applications>People there is a simple import SIM contacts button. It will import all new contacts not on the phone. If all contacts have been added the button will gray out and will not function. Hope this helps someone.

Whenever you have a "toast" notification, i found that if you swipe it to the right, you can remove it from the screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] graemesmith:
Fix

Took me ages to get this fixed. The answer was not logical to what I thought I was trying to do - but the following did it:

I needed the correct security certificate for the Small Business Server installed on the phone and lo - all these problems (along with bad Marketplace purchases and synching ANYTHING) went away.

For SBS 2008 - that is the security certificate package you will find on the default companyweb site on the server. Send it to the phone as an attachment to an email and then run it from there. Now this is the cute bit - the security certificate from the default http://companyweb. NOT the third party security certificate (which you happen to ALSO need for SSL email). Till I also installed the server's own certificate - nothing worked. After I did - everything worked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] graemesmith:
Text Editing

OK - we know you can't copy and paste blocks (hopefully that is coming in 1.1)

But boy it is a PIA when you hammer out an email and then find a small typo in the middle of a word and want to just fix one extraneous letter. You can't tap into the middle of a word......

OH YES YOU CAN!

Tap and hold on screen in the general area of the text you want to edit. As you hold a vertical text insert cursor will appear just above your finger. Drag across the screen till the cursor (not your finger tip) is at the insert point and lift your finger. The insert cursor will now be where you placed it.

Initially it is a little counter intuitive - you want to put your finger tip on the insert point but to get it to work your finger will actually be below the insert point and the cursor will be above your finger AT the insert point.

[Windows Phone 7 General] BobderDritte:
hi,

found a nice "feature" dont know if somebody has postet already,

btw sorry for my bad english .. i hope you understand what i mean

its about the cursor in mail, sms etc .. i think its everey you write soemthing .

it was annoying without trackball etc to place the cursor right there where you want him .. eg to delete a letter or something

i like the wp7-solution .. just press somewhere in the text ( holt the press ) and there will be a red cursor and you can put him where you want

helps me to correct a wrong letter in a sms / email / text withou deleting the whole word or sentence

[Windows Phone 7 General] kitts:
Just figured it out today, and I came here to post it and there you beat me to it!

It is the most useful feature while you are in any text boxes(In fact it shows a mouse pointer right above your finger which you can place anywhere presicely anywhere inside a word)

Tap and Hold andwhere in a textbox, you will get a horizontal line mouse pointer which works exactly like a pc mouse inside a textbox!

"Single tap on the word selects the word and Tap and Hold gets you a mouse pointer!"

Wow.. just wow..
[Windows Phone 7 General] heisven:
Nice feature unless you got a scrollable text box. Like you got when typing longer text messages in the SMS App.

Try to put the cursor on a word in the middle... impossible!

Trick #1:

If you delete OneNote notebook (or all notebooks) you can add new in following way:

- on skydrive.live.com (in My Documents) create new OneNote notebook

- on phone using IE goto skydrive.live.com

- and from IE open OneNote notebook

In this way you add notebook from skydrive and can sync it with skydrive

Trick #2:

From time to time I can't answer to incoming call. "Answer" button is disabled. To answer I do following:

- switch off phone

- switch on phone

[G2 and Desire Z General] blktalon:
Ok, so we all want root access, and we're willing to accept the penalty for it. Loss of warranty. I know why HTC/T-Mobile won't give it to us, cost of repairs for the dishonest ones who eff up the phones then send them back. I for one would register my imei with them for root if there is a software issue that fries the phone I'm effed. Why not do this, gets rid of the liability for them, root for us. I know there will be some that say, but the hinge, etc. those should be covered, a it's not a cause from rooting. Like HTC did with the Nexus for those with the unlocked ones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Additional legal hurdles and database maintenance that would cost money.

They would have to monitor all the devices and push that data to the carrier so that they were on the same page. That would be expensive.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blktalon:
So then we all pay a small fee and they call it a dev phone and we get beta updates, and "tryout" updates first.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Htc blocked out root to cut down on having to spend money on repairing phones that poeple messed up. Simple as that. They will not change a lock down phone to unlock because you paid a fee. The nexus one was under google mainly so htc said ok it can be unlocked but we will not cover it. Also unlocking the bootloader the way they did made it easy to tell if you modded the phone when the went to repaire it

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonlefever:
So what exactly does this do? I tried Google and it's some sort of kernel edit that enhances WiFi ability? Enlighten me :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Just use the split_bootimg.pl perl script to split the original boot.img into ramdisk and kernel.

You'd then just replace the zimage in your directory with the one you just compiled from source.

Then after you've made all the changes, you'd use mkbootimg to rebuild the boot.img. Here's a prebuilt one

./mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk.gz --cmdline "no_console_suspend=1 console=null" -o newboot.img --base 0x19200000

Don't forget the base address as without the --base argument your boot.img won't uh... boot.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:

I have been ****ing with my phone all day. Finally managed to do something bad.

I was trying to install z4mod lagfix, and well, after flashing the kernel, it rebooted into recovery. Where I could not select anything. Then I undid the battery, and it keeps going back there.

Now when I power on my phone I get a little image of what appears to be a phone.. exclamation point..computer

[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Are you using the one click odin? Or the standard odin? One click won't replace the kernel to the stock captivate kernel I don't think.

This is purely speculation on my part, and I'm talking about of my ass, but that's just what I think the problem is. Try the original odin and replace the kernel again with the stock one. Again, I don't have an honest clue.

I can't use cp or grep as they can't be found. I haven't used Android to much prior to this, but both of these are on my TP2 using XDAnroid, so did Samsung/VZW just leave these out?
