I find crazy that people really try to "survive" with 8GB storage phones.

The reasonable solution would be not to buy any of these devices.

So maybe the manufacturers would stop playing with customers this way if they don't sell.

Seriously I feel sorry for all the customers with only 8GB. Because I know it's almost impossible to manage. Come on, ou will hate your phone as soon as you'll run out of storage.

- Firstly, it's not 8GB. The available storage is actually even less

- All your downloaded apps will waste this precious internal storage

- Only the sole GPS will waste 10% of the storage

- Skydrive is not an option for music and videos.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Well said.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
its ok for the europeans who can get 16GB or more, but a lot of the wp7 phones here UK only come with 8gb. other wise i would have got a 16 gb omnia. everyon is different and has different needs for their mobile. i had a touch diamond 2 for 18 months with only 4GB and that was enough for me. sure its always better to have more memory, but do i really need my WHOLE music collection on my phone???
[Windows Phone 7 General] dov74:
I have an 8gb Mozart. Please don't feel sorry for me I'm sure I'll cope ok!

Just upgraded from my 8gb Touch HD and managed no problem with storage limits the 2 years i used it. I dare say if your used to a 16gb handset you wouldn't want to drop down to 8 tho.

I agree with the previous poster, its about the individual and how they use their phone. If you need more than that then buy a handset with more storage, its as simple as that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JEEtoP:
I think a major factor for big phone storage with other handsets is music storage.

With my 32GB 3GS I had probably 24GB of music loaded but this mostly becomes redundant with WP7 because of my Zune Pass.

The cloud is the way forward, not keeping everything locally on your device.

Once SkyDrive and Live get deeper integration into the OS along with how Zune works there won't be much need for devices with storage of above 16GB I would say, if that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I agee with you 100%.

I travel OS every few months so using sky-drive is not an option. The fact that there is no 32 or 64 GB option is also a problem for some users.

I like to have all my music, videos and files on the device for instant access, After all this is the reason I use a smart-phone.

Heres hoping the second generation of WP7 smart-phones offers bigger storage options and larger batteries or better longevity out of the batteries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Any chance you own shares in a mobile carrier.;) Not every one is on an unlimited data plan.

Also have you thought about how you are going to access you files while flying on an eight hour flight?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
for those that want the capability to have bigger cards, get a Focus or Venue Pro. Both of which have exposed memory card slots. You can add a Kingston 32GB class 4 card available on Amazon. This will solve your issues.

If you don't mind voiding warranty, you can also replace the HD7 memory card as well.

For the rest of us who are getting the 8GB/16GB models, i'm sure we'll survive.

Besides... how often are you on an eight hour flight?
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Every 6 to 8 weeks if you must know;)

I also travel with my 6 year old boy very regular. When I had my HD2 I would load lots of shows on the 32 GB card and keep him entertained while waiting for flights etc.

This device will also serve as my media player as I am fed up carting two separate devices. I listen to music every day.

I suppose I could stop using using lossless to allow more room on the card.:D

I was not aware the Focus would be available Outside the US?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
wow man... i've never even had a passport... want to swap jobs? :P

The focus won't be, so I guess the Venue Pro is your only option... or voiding the warranty on the HD7.

Given that you're going to be using it quite a bit for entertainment purposes, the windows phones are real solid units for that with the Zune integration, and the Xbox Live integration. As much as there are quality games on iPhone, I believe over time many of these will be available on Windows Phone, and then you'll see a lot more on Windows Phone than iPhone given the xbox backing as well. Though as a counter-arguement there are also game developers saying they won't develop for Windows Phone due to lack of native support, so it could go either way. But yea, if you're not wanting to drink SJ's gasoline... sorry kool-aid, then in terms of entertainment, Windows Phone might be a good way to go? Android is awesome for customisation, don't get me wrong, but I'm not too sure if it's the best OS for entertainment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] forelli:
I hope you don't have a twitter nor a facebook account because all the feeds will eat up this precious storage over time and because there's no file manager where you could find precisely the file to delete (likeon the HD2), your only solution will be a hard-reset to free up memory. Good luck and have fun!

The cloud and zune pass (music and videos streaming) are the way forward? I doubt it: Zune pass is costly, not free: to push this service further M$ didn't alloy removable storage. The cloud? Skydrive reduces the size and the quality of the pics you upload, so it's rather backwards to me, just like the whole WP7 and its actual state.

f.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JEEtoP:
Haha no I don't, honest. It did sound a bit preachy didn't it.

I'm probably biased though being in UK and I still have an active contract from the unlimited data days.

I must admit I've only been on 1 long haul flight since owning a smartphone and it had Wi-Fi access included, 1GB I think. Lasted me fine for 23 hours to New Zealand.

I think the Zune Pass is great value for what it gives you.

I do agree though at the current state of the OS/Cloud is far from ideal and there are significant improvements to be made, getting the Kin Studio variant up for WP7 would be a great step (I still think the Kin debacle was worth it just because it produced Kin Studio).

I also think though that this will happen and the OS looks good to be able to adapt well in the future. It's obviously been built with that idea from the ground up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] forelli:
I'm no fan of giving money for MP3s. I buy CDs, even singles, but not MP3s, sorry, I'm too old-fashion for that. The Zune pass will not be mine, definetely, plus, I have iTunes at home, my wife owns a 3GS, and my iTunes is packed with more than 30 GB of music ranging from Beethoven to Wu-Tang Clan, Metallica, Cassius, Bob Sinclar and the like, all nicely ordered in playlists. I'm don't move around with all this music, rather syncing playlists according to my mood. Plus, I have some shows I watch when I'm not listening to music on my way to work, and they're around 350 MB big per episode. With any of my SD cards, it's a matter of 10 minutes maximum for say, 5 episodes. With the Zune software, it's about 20 minutes for 1 episode! Well, WP7 have storage issues which could hamper its success as a multimedia smartphone. And, btw, how in Earth is a phone "smart" when it can't handle multitasking and doesn't have a file explorer?

f.

side note: I did pre-order a HD7 unit, but I still have the choice to take it or leave it when it comes, sometime this week. I'm still not sure about it, so disappointing that the HD7 doesn't have the EVO's or Desire HD's 8 MP camera, for example...
[Windows Phone 7 General] JEEtoP:
I totally get what you're saying, we just obviously work with music different ways and I think getting a platform to cater to both very well is near on impossible.

It seems Microsoft has made a choice with WP7 which I think is shown by the fact they are still going to ship WM6.5 as Windows Phone Classic or whatever it's called.

Just on a pure technical note - WP7 can handle multi-tasking without a problem. It's a multi-tasking OS. It's just as yet not open to third parties to utilise which is the only sensible option for Microsoft.

From their point of view they have launched a very solid OS with a great set of core features and a fantastic user experience which is up to date with the competition, technically. Over the next 12 months it will be opened up as people are asking.

They could not risk having reviews and user feedback criticising the OS for a problem with a poorly written app draining all the battery in 2 hours, as a basic example.

The entire Windows Mobile effort rested on WP7's shoulders - it was too big a risk to take.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
I don't really see 8GB as a problem, but then I'm not watching films on the phone. For me, going from 16GB down to 8GB just means I've had to third the amount of music I've put on to the device. It's unfortunate but not really a problem, 4GB is enough for nearly 30 hours of music at 320kbps, which personally I think is plenty. Until phones can store my entire music collection I'm always going to have to choose what to sync, and until then I'm not overly bothered how much I can sync (less takes me less time but means I'll be syncing more often).

Im pretty sure it doesn't work like that. The oldest feed in the People hub on my handset is 16 hours old. If i want to check older feeds it'll pull those from the cloud for me. I'm not sure if it just keeps a certain number of feeds or if it keeps them for a certain amount of time, but they definitely aren't kept on the phone forever.

Does anyone know a ROM that works correctly with DST, preferrably all over the world?

I've always had problems with the time changes with diamond2, with Dutty R6, earlier also with original WM 6.0 rom. I've tried all sorts of settings but the time changes to an incorrect one. This also changes my appointment times and offcourse the alarm clock went off an hour too soon. :mad:

Now i've been searching for a solution. I've foundone where you have to change a certain file, but this seemed very troublesome. Searching for a new ROM, i am not convinced about things being fixed, in the latest Energy release people also report problems...

Anyone?

At first it had exactly the same symptoms, automatically setting the time wrong, like 1, 2 or 3 hourse advanced.

But then i found a setting in Tools / Advanced config / Miscellaneous / "Automatic daylight saving switch-over". Set it to Disabled.

Also at Settings / Personal / Phone / Time Zones. I set Automatic change time zone and clock to disabled.

Now its fixed, i can also set the get time from operator option to enabled. No problems.

Guys i am stuck with this thing from 1 week, i am just lost.

This is what is happening, i access my office pc from my laptop at home using Remote Desktop connection and now i have got a new printer hp deskjet 3745, it prints nicely locally but not through remote connection. It just doesn't print.

I don't know whats wrong, i tried it with another printer hp k209a, and it does print but not with 3745.

Any help would be appreciated

[Desire HD General] Meuk:
Hello all!

I received my Desire HD last thursday. It's a nice phone, but I have a little problem. Last saturday, I was watching a youtube movie. It worked well, but when I tried to close the youtube app, it freezed. It didn't respond to anything, so I removed the battery. After that, I tried booting it, but this time it freezed at the HTC logo. I waited a full 30 minutes, before removing the battery again. After that, it wouldn't boot at all.

Any suggestions I can try before returning it to the store?

Patrick
[Desire HD General] saquib:
The issue with the youtube hanging has been reported by multiple people, on the Desire HD and G2. Appears to hang when you press the back key on video in landscape mode.

I have also had the hanging and removing and re-inserting battery has worked for me. You could try going into the bootloader and doing a clear storage (i.e. system reset) from there?

To enter bootloader try:

Power Down

Power on holding Volume Down

Actually guys, when it comes to WinMo I would also say why waste your time. Windows Phone 7 however is a different story. It's a really nice UI. That said, I believe it's just a nice UI. I haven't used the phone so I can't say it's a good OS or anything like that and since it's Windows vs Linux (Windows Phone vs Android which is based on Linux) I would say Android is better based on that alone. So I wouldn't discount it and say it's not possible or worth it. Those interested would just need to get enough developers interested because it would be a long hard road to do so. A very long, very hard road.

There really is no reason to bash the guy (and any of the previous requestors) about wanting to see a different OS on the Evo. Don't get stuck with "Fanboy Syndrome". If he, or one of the devs want to hash out a port, then it only benefits the community. It's one more check box we can put on the look what my phone can do and your iPhone can't list.

Personally, I wouldn't use it, but there are things I miss about WinMo and I can see why some people would want it. Some businesses only allow WinMo for work. So what's wrong with wanting an image one can flash during the day at work, then flip on a Nandroid of the user's favorite Android OS?

I REALLY miss having OneNote integration; however, that's not enough for me to make the switch. Yes, WP7 looks nice, but it can't even multi-task!!! Seriously? Just keep me with WinMo 6.5 and have a nice day, Microsoft.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewjulian:
I would also like to see this happen:p

Lets think about this: We have seen Android on WinMo, Linux on Android, Android on PC, OS X on PC, PC on Linux AND OS X, and our fellow XDAers are working on WebOS for Android(which I personally am excited about:D)

The answer to the !!WHY!!GRRR!! fanboy questions is simply BECAUSE WE CAN! You can't honestly say that if it was released you would not at least read the thread and look at the cool screen shots OR try it once, the whole point of XDA is pretty much "because we can".

Oh, and brush up on your WP7 info, engadget wrote an article on how Microsoft is now allowing apps to run in the background like they should have from the start, so I'm fairly sure that in the competitive mobile OS environment, multi-tasking is coming to WP7 soon.
