[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That's only usable for very small deployments, and any business small enough to do that can/will save money by outsourcing the exchange services instead of buying/managing the server/OS/CALs, and hiring an admin.

In other words - not much of a factor.

Google Apps services are jardly pure. Even Gmail uses a ptoprietary protocol to sync on Android. Gmail has exchange support, buy it is buggy/glitchy and imcomplete compared to Hotmail now.

With android u basically have to dictate the phones used because of fragmentation and the varying levels of Exchange security support in the phones. Cheaper/easier to buy a bunch of cheap Samsumg Jacks and ise those with Exchange...
[Windows Phone 7 General] awagner:
Yeah, that is what they opted for in the end. The point I was making about BBES is yes, it really isn't worth it. Sometimes customers don't get it untill they see the numbers. I stay away from recomending gmail or hotmail for a business becuase you are not the customer. Hotmail is a bit of exception becuase Microsoft uses it as a passport account and often times you are the customer. This is important idea, think about how you care about your customers. If gmail customers are advertisers and people who pay for usage data how do they take care of their clients? They serve you up like a Dominos pizza. You are the product they are selling. With google in the news constantly for violating privacy, it's just scary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yes. I was agreeimg with you, but I like to always explain my reasoning.

As Exchange improves RIM had to do something, so they wanna give away BBESX to small businesses - most of which won't care since they prolly eunnimg Windows SBS, and that comes with Exchange (which includes ActiveSync).

Useless increase in Admin requirements, IMHO.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hatemenow:
Looking for a startup/task manager. It doesn't have to be 2 in 1 manager, it can be 2 different apps.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] charliebigpot:
Well, I use Startup Auditor, not sure if it really works, but at least it gives me the illusion of having more control over the phone ;-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] d0msen:
+ there is no task manager needed for android OS, because it's pretty good when it comes to handling memory..

for killing a task that crashed but won't FC I use Android System Info's task manager, but ONLY in that case! You really don't need a task manager at all, it can even slow down your phone, google that if you want to have more info or verify it :P Android ain't Blackberry OS or Windows Mobile ;-)
[Vibrant General] dirtyddd:
Just wanted to know which was better and why. I have a samsung I9000

Thanks
[Vibrant General] rlxurmnd:
well if you save to google, and then you get a new android phone your contacts are always there when you login to your google account from your phone. i always save to google
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
save it on google. If anything happens to your phone, you will not need to worry about losing your contacts. It'll always be there and it's easier to edit contact on Google anyways. This is also helpful if you switch roms a lot. You wont have to copy out your contact and copy it back in everytime.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
With applications like Google Sync, I was able to take my contacts and import them into my old Blackberry. When switching to my Android phone the import of contacts was automagical.

Save it to Google, and then export from there into a csv file an additonal backup.
[Vibrant General] RadAway:
My only issue with saving to Google is you can't assign custom ringtones to non-phone based contacts =/

Anyone know if this is fixed in 2.2?
[Vibrant General] svladimir:
I've lost my iPhone couple weeks ago and thanks gods all my contacts were in clouds!
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
What do you want the ringtone for if it's not from a phone?

Another reason to like google vs phone ... It's damn convenient to add a contact on the web page as needed, especially if someone emails you the information and you can just copy&paste it.
[Vibrant General] TRZN:
I've used Google for mine ever since I bought the G1 when it came out. Come to think of it if I wouldn't have I'd probably not have all of my numbers.

Good stuff. :D
[Vibrant General] Emama:
One question

I synced my contact to my Google account, and since it is syncing, if I accidentally deleted all my contact in the phone, it will probably delete the contact in my Google account too, right?

Or it can restore the backup?
[Vibrant General] devcurious:
Uh...I think the OP was referring to the difference between the Google contacts and the phone contacts. Meaning that you cannot set ringtones for Google (non-phone) contacts, not contacts without phone numbers.

Although, if there is one thing I really miss from when I initially switched from a Blackberry to the G1, two years ago, was being able to basically setup "filters" for incoming calls, emails and SMS, a customize how each filter was handled.
[Vibrant General] devcurious:
Depends on the definition of "deleted"...

I don't think it is even possible to accidentally delete all of your contacts. They could be erased by some external means or memory failure, but the sync algorithm does not see that as a delete. A delete is selecting a contact and selecting "delete contact" from the context menu.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Accidentally Delete means someone press delete all on the phone..
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
The sync will not remove contact from google if you delete from phone. As for ring tone, we'll just need some dev to port stock android contact over. In stock android contact you can set ring tone for individual contact without having the contact on the phone.
[Vibrant General] dirtyddd:
Sounds like google is the way to go but how do I get my numbers in "groups" if its linked to google, such as doctors, freinds, family, work? I see that the google ones are a group themselves
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
You can use backupify,com to backup your google contacts at certain intervals.

That's a nice option to have if you ever accidentally delete your contacts.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
If you delete a google contact from your phone it WILL be deleted off of your account. It is a two way sync.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
Does anybody know how to sync contacts that are saved on the phone to google?
[Vibrant General] devcurious:
Not directly.

There is no way to sync a phone contact to your Google contacts. You will have to create a separate Google contact.

I think a previous commenter gave the best advice to just use a ROM that has the vanilla android contact app. I think the TWIZ hybrid ROM has the vanilla contacts app.

I have the same complaint. I trying to hold off until there is a vanilla FroYo before using a custom ROM.
[Vibrant General] DanRo80:
Does this mean that none of you are saving your contacts to your sim card?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
That's the least advanced way to save a contact because you can only have a name and number, that is all.

I use to save all contacts to sim with my old phones. As soon as I started using my google account I stopped saving to the sim. Mind you I've been with t-mobile for five years with the same sim.
[Vibrant General] 2000nits:
With ringo lite you can set custom ringtones or sms tones to any contact.
[Vibrant General] DanRo80:
So, what if I randomly have to switch to another phone that is not Android. That was the reason that I always saved them to the sim. That phone now automatically has my phonebook. Yeah, I have wondered if they could make some advancements in sim cards so that you could save more to the contact.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
why not save to google and export as a vcf file?

Why don't you save to Google and create a vcf file also...as a backup?

To create a vcf file backup:

1)Go to contacts

2)Tap Menu key (far left capacitive button)

3)Tap More

4)Tap Import/Export

5)Choose "Export to SD Card"

Now you have a file of your contacts as a vcf file saved on your SD card. You can also get to this file easily by connecting your phone via USB to computer, or just email the file to yourself. Or whatever, you get the point.
[Vibrant General] DanRo80:
Thank You, I appreciate your help.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
Yes, cheers -- that's groovy
[Vibrant General] Tynen:
If you save to Google they're saved onto the cloud. If you save them onto your phone when you rebuild or lose your phone all your contacts are gone. Also if you have your contacts on Google you can text message people through Google Voice using the website.
[Vibrant General] dirtyddd:
I ask again, can you set up different groups if the contacts are saved to google?
[Vibrant General] DanRo80:
I'm talking about saving on your sim card though if you go to a non Android phone then you still have your contacts on the sim.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
I just found a way to add your phone contacts to your google contacts with a couple of clicks!!!!

1)Go to contacts

2)Tap Menu key (far left capacitive button)

3)Tap More

4)Tap Import/Export

5)Choose "Import from SD Card"

then it says

"create contact under account"

choose your google account.

a little g is added on all my contacts, yay. they are now in my desktop gmail. sorry to be so happy about this but I created all my contacts and saved them to the phone, and did not want to re-create it to google.
[Vibrant General] ColorNapkin:
Not quite. The Vibrant doesn't sync groups from Google. All your synced contacts will be placed it one group. I think with Froyo this is fixed. At least, that is the case with the Obsidian 2.2 ROM I'm running.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Sorry if I'm being thick, here. :-)

My HD2 was originally bought direct from T-Mobile UK. It was Hard-SPL'ed a long time ago, so I recently tried putting the new 3.14 generic ROM onto it, only to run into the "RAM cut in half" problem; apparently the 3.14 ROM is not fully compatible with any currently released HSPL version. For owners of non-branded HD2's this isn't a problem - they can simply replace the HSPL with a standard, non-hacked SPL, and then flash the ROM; but if I put the standard SPL back on my phone, it goes back to being treated as a branded phone, which cannot install non-branded ROM updates - the installation programme refuses to play ball.

Is there any way around this, or do I have to wait for either a T-Mobile version of the 3.14 ROM, or a 3.14-compatible HSPL?
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Best thing you can do is waiting fore a a T-Mobile version of the 3.14 ROM, or a 3.14-compatible HSPL version.

HTC is working to make fore every aria/language/(branded / unbranded) a update to the 3.14 base stock rom, it's a matter of time.
[HD2 General] William Hart:
I had the same problem, but with an O2 supplied phone. What I did was to install HSPL (using HSPL3) and then load Dutty's ML Family Rom. This gave me 3.14, plus the extra memory, plus WM-6.5.1. You'll need to reinstall your software though.

The ROM is fast and stable. :D
[HD2 General] mark3d4death:
Visit this page - you can get a Goldcard in which you will be able to install the new ROM.

Hi Guys,

Anyone noticed that in the UK the Zune software has no podcasts listed. The PODCAST icon does not even exist.

I have to manually add my rss feeeds for each one?

anyone seen this.

Thanks

Russ
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
It's still very early days for Zune in Europe. I've had a Zune HD for a year and I've seen the US Marketplace and it's another world. You have more music, podcasts, a lot more movies and also (many) TV shows (plus Zune HD apps).

Hopefully Microsoft will work on that a lot more than they did with Xbox Live (Europe content is rubbish compared to the US). Apple did it, I don't see why Microsoft can't, they have to want it though.

Here's to hope...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ZaForD:
It gets even worse if you update your Zunes through the UK version.

You lose access to the marketplace on your devices, and as late as last week you couldn't get any 'Channels' either.

Altho, now we can get some dumbed down (IMO useless) channels.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebzrascal:
Is it possible to use my PC for UK Marketplace and my Laptop for USA marketplace?

So having access to both?

I already use a VPN service to access USA only sites like HULU with no problems..
[Windows Phone 7 General] ioulian:
I live in belgium and made an "belgian" live account, now I can only rent a movie, no music or apps or podcasts... We wait and see :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] RussST24:
Thanks for the confirmation everyone. Shame as they even mention adding podasts via the Zune software Marketplace on the UK windows phone site!

Hopefully its coming as I can understand Video being a rights issues internationally but Podcasts?

Russ
[Windows Phone 7 General] ZaForD:
You can't use the same Live ID as it is be based in one location.

You'll need two ID's and Zune Pass's (1x UK 1x US) to use both at the same time.

I'm still looking for a better solution.

Have you tried setting your PC so it 'thinks' its in the US ?

You won't be able to login and buy anything (see above) but it should let you grab some Podcasts.

This trick worked for me, and allowed me to get Podcats and the Marketplace back on my Zunes. I don't have a WP7 phone yet so i don't know if it works with them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
It's easier to just get the rss and subscribe manually, at least he can use his actual Live ID and the marketplace.

[HD7 General] risq:
That's good news. Hadn't the BBC locked down the iPlayer apps so they only worked with bundled deals though. I seem to remember when I used the iPhone iPlayer app it said I had to be with Orange or Vodafone to use the iPlayer on my phone?

[Android Apps and Games] Soybomb:
I've been trying out a few different sip soft phones. I can't get bluetooth to work with any of them though including 3cx, sipdroid, and csipsimple. The headset connects and the clients will all let me switch to bluetooth but I hear nothing in the headset. The other party usually hears a small faint garble sound when I talk.

I'm using an original jawbone and a D1 running LFY1.7. Testing is being done over my wifi, the softphones work great when not on blue tooth and the jawbone works fine on cellular calls. Is there a particular bluetooth protocol that the old jawbone doesn't support that I need or something?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemesco:
I'm in the same situation and gave it up after 3 day's (and nights) searching for a solution.

I reverted my custom ROM to the original ROM and brought the phone back to the shop who did send it back to HTC for repair (will take 3 weeks they told me).

There's also a threat on XDA about solving the USB Brick, it's the same solution as on MoDaCo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639 but this threat is almost death! Only people who have the same problem are posting in this threat but no respons from senior's with experience.

The solution is to overwrite the mtd0 partition or 'misc' but then you need root access, to gain root acces you need to have a working USB (who was first, the chicken or the egg :rolleyes:) so maybe in the future it can be solved with a app to gain root access but this is not possible at this moment. If I'm wrong please let me know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Yes there was an update zip that could solve your bricked USB, found it on a modaco forum. Search for it download it and put it on the root of microsd(you will need a usb adaptor or another phone...remember it must me named update). Boot into recovery mod.There press volum up + power. You will get a blue recovery select update zip and install...no root needed.

Does Beautiful Widgets do the same thing when you wake the phone as the HTC clock widget does as far as the weather annimations?

I don't miss Sense, but, I do miss the neat things like the rain and wipers, the lightning, clouds moving all across the screen...and such.

I don't want to buy BW only to find out that it doesn't do this. I don't want to have to touch the sun, clouds or moon to get the animations moving.

Did a search, and found things on weather animations, but, didn't really explain much on what type of animations happend and how they happened.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
There is an option to have animations when you wake the phone up. I didn't want it to slow my phone down any so I did not enable it. I'm not sure what all animations it will do. I searched online and found the .apk for it before I bought, to make sure I was going to like it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Yes it does have an option for animations on unlock in the advanced settings mode. They're not quite as cool as HTC's but they work
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
there are animations as stated already.. my suggestion would be to buy it and try it out.. u have 24 hours.. if u don't like, u can "return" it..

there are SOOO many more options with using BW over htc sense clock... i wouldn't make the complete decision based on an animation only..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
There are sooo many themes. Right now I have a 8-bit or mario theme, so my clock is themed out to match.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguinmod:
Hi Everyone!

I'm starting to make my own android roms and i was wondering if it was possible to change the default android settings you get when you flash a rom. For example, when you first boot, animations are already turned on and orientation is turned off (unchecked) by default.

I've got an .apk manager so i've had a feeble attempt at going through .xml files in the decompiled Settings.apk. "res/xml/sound_and_display_settings.xml" had the most potential but i couldn't see any "enable/disable" options.

Thanks to Everyone in advance. Any feedback is welcome, even if it's not the answer- it could still help!
