Well, it seems you took a problem that may have been solved by running CHKDSK and just destroyed all chances of data recovery.

lawl :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
Fair comment... I didn't think of it that way...

I'm not sure that CD would have helped... It sounds like, at best, the FAT, (File Allocation Table), was messed up. The system would have noticed that the backup FAT didn't match the primary and have given some warning. It seems like it didn't. That implies that both FAT's were bad. That's unrecoverable unless you are desperate. (For "desperate" read: rich).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
The system doesn't check both FATs to see if one is fragged. You (the user) have to initiate that check by running CHKDSK /F.

[Windows Phone 7 General] gmatharu12:
Today at my University we had a marquee out the front near the main car park talking about Microsoft Graduates and inside they were showing of Microsoft Surface, Kinect and Windows Phone 7.

It wasn't hard to get a glance, especially considering everyone was mostly interested in the Kinect, I had a play with the Windows Phone 7 handset.

To be honest, I was expecting more, I was really disappointed, there is nothing that it can offer except for flashy transitions and pretty colours. Yes its true that applications will be released to improve the phone's functionality but there is definitely a limit to that because of the current API.

I currently use a HD2 (and I have tried Android on it too) and I don't think anything can quite compete with Windows Mobile 6.5 (or a Jail-broken iPhone - which despite being a huge Apple hater jail-broken iPhones have fantastic functionality).

WP7 has a long way to go until it grabs those hardcore WM5/6 users.

Does anyone know how WP7 handles notifications? Is it similar to iOS? I hope not. Android nailed it with their notification system, I wish Windows Mobile had something similar.

The menu in which you 'upload to facebook', is it limited? Can developers add functionality to this menu, will you ever see 'post on twitter' or anything like that?

On a positive note, WP7 is smooth, looks great and Internet Explorer is a whole new browser.

(Side note: University of Surrey is broadcasting the Microsoft PDC10 live on Thursday this week and one lucky attendee will win a WP7 Handset)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
WP7 notifications are kinda a cross between Android and iPhone. The biggest downside to WP7 notifications is that once it goes away, you can't see it in a list or anything.

Re: "WP7 has a long way to go until it grabs those hardcore WM5/6 users." - I don't think Microsoft has any intention on every going after the "hardcore WM5/6 users." If you're expecting WM6 levels of customizability and openness, switch to Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
If they're there tomorrow, challenge them on the lack of file system management
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
lol because some random Microsoft PR person is to blame for the engineering, design, and management decision to leave out a file manager.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
lol... fair point, but there is a small chance they may just tell their manager, who may just tell their manager, who may just tell their manager, who may just tell Steve Balmer.

To be honest, we wouldn't have this frustration if Microsoft just had some forum where they would take developers input seriously
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
If you have legit developer feedback, you can post it on the forums at create.msdn.com. However, complaining about a lack of open file system support will pretty much fall on deaf ears as it's pretty much a done decision. The most we can expect to see in the future is some sort of a shared folder. Isolated storage is here to stay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Well, all it needs is a shared folder. A sand boxed area (excluded from the OS and application files) where a user can manage their files, and third party apps can access those managed files if required.

I've made this suggestion. I still seem to get largely ignored. I get the impression that Microsoft developers are too afraid to think outside the box. They all seem to agree with each other all the time as if they have either been brainwashed or they're just afraid they'll loose their jobs if they speak up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 001mic:
Nah it's pretty much awesome

I also used WP7 the first time today - and it's AWESOME!!!

Don't listen to this guy (no offense ;) )

I think everyone here saw the videos of Walkthroughs etc, so I don't know how you can get disappointed by using it.

It's exactly what you saw, just quadrippel times more awesome, cause you actually see it for real and touch it yourself :D

A Vodafone store had a LG Optimus 7 and I played with it for half an hour.

I just can't wait till the Omnia 7 finally arrives here in Germany. I'll definitly buy that and hopefully be happy with it :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] gmatharu12:
No offence taken, but its not what I'd call awesome.

Thanks everyone for their responses, as for your advice for using Android (RustyGrom), I really want to start using it as a full time OS and probably when my contract ends very shortly, Android will probably be the way to go because I don't see WP7 adding its short-list of lacking features anytime soon.

Does that also mean, perhaps if you modified an image in one program, you couldn't edit it from another? Does each application really have its own restricted space?
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
yes, each application has its own restricted space. The only exception to this rule are images and videos (I think).

I know all your images are kept in one common place, and apps can use a hook they've provided in the api to load images from this place.

Any other app you can think of that would require side loading of files, would not work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That would encourage both sloppy app development and content piracy.

Are YOU a developer?

A platform that indirectly encourages piracy doesn't get first-class support from the industry. Only exception is Windows Mobile, and only because it is compatible with the DRM in e.g. Zune Pass music.

Looks lile so,e people don't take piracy serious enough. It's a huge problem, amd a few users crying about design decisions aided to combat it in a forum are pretty much worth doing it.

Lime Wire was just shut down by a court. The media industry does not play around, and neither does the law.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KruseLudsMobile:
What a HUGE disappointment for a UI

Ok, so panes slide around. SO WHAT? The thing as I have seen it in videos looks like a PIECE OF JUNK. Just look at the picture of mine... How can you compare that or any of our WM6.5 phones on this forum to a BLAH screen that has three cubes on it? YECH. Is this is the way they leave it, I think that will be the end of WM. Just wait another year and there will be so few buyers of the WM7 phones they will be discontinued.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ajftl:
U got to be kidding me ... lol when i had the hd2 running windows 6.5 i wanted to kill myself...no way u comparing wp7 with crappy w 6.5

Has anyone else seen this on their screens or know how to fix this or why its happening?

Using Myns Rom, with Battery Tweak, etc etc
[EVO 4G General] achllles:
What?????????????????????
[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
Actually no pic, the screen shot didnt get the vertical lines..
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
If the software isn't catching lines, then it's your screen.
[EVO 4G General] muzll0dr:
Some hardware has lower tolerances with battery tweaks, voltages, etc. Try putting a stock kernel back on it and see if that fixes it.
[EVO 4G General] nerdmanpap:
i had this issue at first when i was running myns twopointtwo.

i'd boot up and have vertical lines everywhere. If i hit the power button to lock the screen, wait a sec, then hit it again to unlock it the screen would be fine. problem would not reappear at all. its like a momentary glitch i guess.

hope this helps
[EVO 4G General] mendez_v:
I have had this issue as well with various Roms lately. After turning the screen off and on it would go away. I've also had other issues such as the phone starting up in car dock mode after a reset, screen auto rotatating even though it's disabled and my media volume not going down after being turned all the way up. I have wiped data, cache, dalvik various times and even ran the latest RUU to start all over but the issues still continue. Anybody else having similar issues ?
[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
Same here. Lock the screen, wait a bit, unlock and it stops. Annoying but no big deal really.
[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
Yeah Same thing with me, I turned off the screen and it went away, so weird but it fixed it for now
[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
I forgot, after I saw that , I went into recovery and erased cache, dalvich, etc then I flashed Baked Snackk 1.8 on and still had the issue until I turned screen off then back on... weird
[EVO 4G General] nuvens:
Seems like a lot of us are having the same issue wondering if anyone remmembers when they first saw this happen so we might narrow down the cause to this issue. Mine started after i flashed xxbabiboi228xx rom with kings kernal 11. At first i though it was due to the transition animations, but now i see it no matter what i flash. Not blaming xxbabiboi228xx rom, hes rom is bad ass. Am just pointing out when i first saw this happen.
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
Had the same issue.
[EVO 4G General] intimidatorx31:
its the screen technology.

I JUST exchanged my evo for another brand new one (still within 30 days)

because i had lines going down my screen (Novatech screen).

They were faint yellow lines evenly spread. Got my New evo today and got a different screen (Epson). This screen also has vertical lines.

At the sprint store the 2 evo's on display had the lines however one of them was almost not visible unless u tried to look for it. The other Evo on display looked like mine.

So unless you guys know somethign i dont, i believe this is hardware related.

Theres other forums confirming this.

Both my evo's had hardware 003 but first one was a novatech and this one is a epson.

Novatech screen does look better.
[EVO 4G General] mezkal24:
Has anyone found what the issue with this is? I get vertical lines no matter what ROM I flash. I does not happen with the stock RRU ROM though. Got a replacement phone with an EPSON HW 003. Help!
[EVO 4G General] iaccax:
I had the same problem and I found out its the kernal if you have hardware 003 like I do I just use the stock kernal from fresh
[EVO 4G General] mizzos4:
Weird, I have an 003 nova on Fresh 3.4.0.1 and tested the various kernel offerings on here, but been lucky enough not to see this. Is this kinda like the whole screen tearing issue with certain kernels?
[EVO 4G General] mezkal24:
Not sure. I had an 003 before also with an Epson screen which worked flawlessly with any ROM or Kernel I flashed on it. But I guess every phone is different.

Gotta learn to live with it..
[EVO 4G General] NHLWil:
I'm fairly certain the tearing and screen lines/corruption are related.

When I first got my phone a month or so ago, I tried a few different ROMs and kernels. All of the kingx and netarchy kernels I tried exhibited screen tearing, and would more than occasionally exhibit the screen lines/corruption you mentioned . . . sometimes even starting at the boot animation screen.

I was worried I got a bum phone (it was only the second day I had it, so I was a bit noobish) but I flashed the stock kernel (HTC #11) and never had the problem again.

Since then, I've tried a couple newer versions of those custom kernels, and wind up reverting back to an HTC kernel (also tried 10 and what's the latest one? 17?) due to the screen tearing. They just don't like my particular hardware I guess (003 with the Epson panel).
[EVO 4G General] mackstuart:
I am also having this same issue, but I am using a stock rom and a flashed kernel.
[EVO 4G General] Ezintn:
I had the momentary thing once, don't remember the circumstances, but screen lock / unlock fixed and it hasn't returned. Flashed cm6.1rc1 and after about 20 min. I got real bad, very uneven vert lines plus a flicker that persisted even after reboot. I nanded back to Azrael 2.5 and started using LPP instead of Sense - not CM, but better than the screen from hell! No screen trubs since.
[EVO 4G General] ahill44:
I just started experiencing the same issue. Vertical lines concentrated toward the center of the phone. In my experience, it only happens on boot (and only occasionally - also, no lines during the splash screens) and is remedied by locking and unlocking the screen. First experienced in Cyanogen - currently running Frost. Somewhat comforted that I'm not the only one.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
It is nice to know that I am not the only one. I had JUST dropped my phone onto the table so I was thinking it was that. It had me scared momentarily. It happens almost every time I reboot but it's an easy "fix".

from my EVO using XDA app.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
I had vertical lines and a few reboots later they went away. I also had some vicious tearing that was present... but yeah few reboots and it fixed it.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Mine will also do this but only on first boot sometimes and turning the screen off and on always makes it go away. I have a 003 with a epson and before I had a 002 with a novetek and it never did it..

No biggy I'm just glad I am not alone.
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
i have 003 epson and i notice my vertical lines in the sunlight big time! Turning the screen off or rebooting doesnt seem to help but its ok cause I love my evo the way it is.....special.:D

Mine does not do that though. I would try and get that fixed.

Hey,

I'm getting my HD7 next week so I decided I should go ahead and install Zune on my PC.

All went fine up to the moment I tried logging in with my Live ID.

I neter my details and it tells me the Terms Of Service have changed and that I had to log in with my parent account.

Since I do not have a parent account (but turning 18 in December) I filed in my normal account again.

That worked and it gave me some options.

Problem is, I can't go to the next step.

It keeps giving me this error:

Before moving on you must select a value for films.

How can I select a value for films, if there's only a checkbox?

I know before wp7 was out in the uk i had a zune hd so needed an American account so all I did was change my comps location and set up an account saying I lived in California and bang was in.

MS has to put this stuff on there to satisfy there legal team but they also want the most customers so it isn't to hard to get around. I mean like the location issue they could of just tracked my ip but instead used a setting that can be easily manually changed.
