yea, the auto focus and shutter do take their time. it should be really snappy. it should auto focus and take phone pretty much instantly... sadly it isn't the case. hopefully it picks up, though i don't seem them doing this till like WP8.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The main thing is, MS will be doing the updating and that means quality updates for each and every handset out there. But the latest news has me a bit concerned, Balmer selling off so much stock in MS. So far he has sold 49 million shares of MS and is said to sell a total of 74 million eventually. I'm wondering if it's related to WP7 and if there is something we all should be concerned about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 1toadfacedfrump:
Very interesting indeed. That's a lot of cheese. You got me wondering too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
he has a few hundred million shares if not billions in MS... i believe what he's selling is a mere few percent if that of his shares. Bill Gates sells off that many regularly to support his charities... i wouldn't take much note of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Tried hard-resetting, to no effect. It's bad enough that at this point I hope it's an isolated hardware problem, as I wonder what my not so tech-savvy friends/family would do if they bought a WP7 phone and encountered this.

It's been crashing out of apps, freezing at the shutdown "Goodbye" screen, showing UI issues in IE, giving DRM errors in Netflix (and restarting every time Netflix is closed), sometimes not turning the screen off (pressing power key would just lock the phone), etc.

Hopefully T-Mobile can swap this out tomorrow.

(oh and this is attempt 2 at writing this post-- tried it on the HD7 the first time, and after I pressed Submit Reply, the phone dropped Wifi, IE went to an Action Cancelled page, and then the OS crashed)

There is also a change in capital gains tax, he maybe wanted to take advantage or needed some liquid cash. I doubt very much it is anything else!
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
That definitely sounds like a rogue habdset, I have the HD& and have had hardly any issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrAlchemist:
I really don't think MS is betting the farm on WP7, sure it's important to their lineup, but it's never going to be the money maker like the iPhone is for Apple.

MS makes it's break and butter off OS's(Server and Desktop), Office Suite and XBOX Live.

Everything else is just a plus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Just to follow up, went and swapped out the phone, and now it's all fine. Guess HTC/T-Mo's quality control needs some work.

When I described all my issues to the people at the T-Mobile store, their response was "it's a Windows phone-- all Windows phones freeze and do things like that" :D. Finally was able to get them to swap it out though.

Incidentally they had a bunch of HD7s sitting around-- apparently I'm the only one who's actually bought one from the store (and this is in New York) :eek:.
[Windows Phone 7 General] k_aftab:
i have been using WP7 since it came out in UK, untill yesterday there has been no siginificant issues, couple to times accelrometer didn't work properly but yesterday

marketplace app wouldn't launch

couldn't buy apps on marketplace, can get free apps

twitter app errored out

scrolling in marketplace app got stuck for few mins

had to reboot it twice, back or windows button wouldn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
I kind of disagree...from what I've read they are betting on this as they know the future is mobile to a large extent. I believe they will force WP7 to be a success, similar to what they did with Xbox...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
And I'm hoping you are 200% correct. Because it means our mobile platform of choice will only get better; will only improve. That means MS will listen to the market (general public, not customizers) and give it what it wants.

Speaking of wants, what the forecast for Angry Birds on WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] LordLugard:
Bingo! If you guys follow all the hubbub about tax cuts for the top 2% and such, come Dec 31, when the Bush tax cuts expire, rates go back to pre 2000 levels (clinton). Capital gains will be affected as well they say. So it makes very good business sense to pay less tax now than the next few months and onwards.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
500 million in advertising....
[Windows Phone 7 General] LordLugard:
And counting. Trust me they're betting big on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
500M isn't a lot. Microsoft actually lost money in its Developer Tools Division for years and you didn't see them cutting Visual Studio. Doesn't matter if mobile is the future, mobile doesn't have to be the future as long as their customers need to be connected while mobile to use their services. If that wasn't the case, they probably would have dropped Windows Mobile long before 6.5.x rolled around. Even then, they're still continuing to license Windows Mobile out.

Every decision a company makes isn't about how much money it brings in, or about how they can dominate the market. Microsoft has other reasons for betting big on WP7 outside of dominating iOS/Android and making tons of money. 500M only sounds like a lot of money until you own a company bringing in as much as Microsoft. Don't overstate.

Anyways...

The Future is Mobile for me, but mobile for me means small real notebooks with good screen resolutions, real keyboards, real operating systems, and real applications. Netbooks are underpowered by design, tablets and smartphones only cut it in a minority of situations. I need real applications on a real computer 80% of the time. Smartphones are decent for browsing the web and messaging. Tablets are better at working with Web Applications. But for doing real work, I need a real computer.

These new 12-13" notebooks are looking quite nice, though. I think I shall be picking up one of those.

Not to mention some carriers don't have the coverage needed to depend on connected devices, and WiFi isn't everywhere. The cloud sounds nice until you're stuck in a situation where you need you data/files/to work and realize that you can't get anything done because you have a very weak (or no) internet connection.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pryceless:
Hi Guys,

Need your advice please! Want to be absolutely sure before proceeding as do not want to 'brick' my phone! :o

I had a UK T-Mobile branded HD2. I installed HSPL a few months back (went through the guide on this site - thanks!), just to allow me to install the official stock ROMs from the HTC website.

I was running on the official HTC ROM 1.66 WWE up until the recent release 3.14. I installed this, but i've had some unusual problems. For instance, the Opera browser randomly closing when before it would run in the background. The same goes with email and other programs like Facebook would just randomly close. Sometimes my browser favourites would not be displayed, and also it would not fully load web pages and just sit there. I know they've made some improvements with the background processes and CPU handling, so not sure if this is what I should be expecting. However it is driving me crazy! :mad:

Now I just want to 'roll back' to the previous official HTC stock ROM 1.66 as I find this more stable and did not encounter these issues.

My bootloader screen reads as followed:

PB1100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

CotullaHSPL

In this scenario, can I simply connect my HD2 to my PC/laptop via USB and run the exe file downloaded from the HTC website and flash per their instructions? Or are there some other steps I need to take?

I've done some searching, but have not yet encountered anyone going back the other way. Most people seem to be happy on 3.14, but not me!

Also I know sometimes it will not allow you to roll back if you have a newer version installed.

Thanking you in advance! :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
the reason you had problems is because the 3.14 roms aren't compatible with hspl, or with older spls, only spl 3.x. There is no t-mo 3.14 rom yet, so your only option to get 3.14 would be goldcard.

you still have hspl installed, so just go ahead and flash what you like. USB is fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pryceless:
Thank you very much for your advice! I have reflashed back as you suggested via USB and ActiveSync and i'm just in the process of setting everything back up. All looks normal so far...

Thanks again!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] morfoula:
So ... I'm SO happy that i've got Android to work on my phone. Everything is working very well, and I see that I'm having the same issues as others are having, i.e. battery life and choppy phone calls.

My problem though pertains to me not being able to sync to active sync on my computer. It says error when it goes to install the driver. I'm using windows 7 active sync.

Also, another problem i'm having is i can't open up astro anymore. After about 4 days installing Android, it says "error" and force closes the program.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdfath3r:
ActiveSync is good only for WinMo phones.

Under Android sync is different. You can sync your phone online with a Google acc if you have.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
+1: ActivSync = WM only

On my Sense version I use HTCSynch.

Works really fine on W7 x64 with Outlook 2010 x86.

For Astro, just try to uninstall/reinstall (if not in build)

HTC Sync not working on my builld. I have the darkstone HD2Froyo V3 (26-October-2010) version installed an everything works, including wifi and phone audio. But I have not been able to get HTC Sync to work. I also tried a program called Android Manager WIFI that does pretty much the same thing using WIFI instead of USB. Neither of the programs would allow me to connect the PC to HD2. The USB File transfer works fine. Any suggestions?

Use Root Explorer and delete whatever apps you dont need in /system/app/...but always backup whatever you delete, cause sometimes it might cause force close errors after deletion.

otherwise, learn adb, or use root explorer...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] C-4Nati:
Ok i know there are a bunch of different launchers and battery icons but where can i find them? I'm talking about the ones people use on here, a lot of them aren't on the market. I'll try a few different launchers but as far as the battery in particular i like the one on Macnut10 where its yellow circle with the number in the middle. I'm running the unoffcial froyo jk2 right now so everything is like stock and nothings customized. So if someone could point me in the right direction for both id appreciate it cuz i've looked all over and couldn't find anything.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
Read this section... Metamorph is your friend. Some battery mods are flashable zips, those usually include accurate battery fixes. Once you have that you can make a metamorph to use any drawables you want in the framework-res.apk. Remember, always make a nandroid backup.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] C-4Nati:
I dont know how to use that and dont have time to learn. Someone

With a simplier solution plz
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] C-4Nati:
Which means once i posted after yours because it didnt concern u anymore now **** off.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Dude, if you don't know how to use metamorph or flash a zip, you should not be running something experimental like JK2 froyo, you're gonna end up in a boat load of trouble for lack of knowledge. Metamorph is an app from the market, it really can't get much simpler as long as you're smart enough to only use morphs that are compatible with your ROM, as all ROMs have different specifications and compatability with framework. And you definitely do have time to learn because if your life was incredibly busy and time consuming with endless responsibilities you wouldn't give a **** about how pretty your battery icon looks. So you don't have time to learn anything, don't want to flash, don't want to morph, wtf do you want? An app with a huge button that creates whatever you're imagining? Your battery icon will turn circular if you do the following, download ROM manager and select partition SD card, it will reveal customized framework that is masked by the stock look you see now, it's not yellow though, it's blue.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] C-4Nati:
Yes, I care how my phone looks. The point of this thread is since obviously a lot of people make their own it was for people to kindly post the zips or apks so I can try some out thanks for another un helpful post.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] matt_stang:
I'm going to go ahead and say it as well.. this belongs in the q&a section. Besides, I think you'd be much better off there seeing as how you already pissed off everyone in this section. Better yet, press the back button and READ the themes and apps section. Although, all the wonderful and simple customizations you seem to be looking for do not exist... You really should have taken the advice on Metamorph you were given instead of childishly assuming there is some magical apk that will make your imaginary "customizations" come to life. Oh well. Good luck with your searching.

LOL
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] C-4Nati:
Another useless post. I lol'd
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] m00nshake:
Ok I'm not going to even try to defend the original poster as that was all uncalled for but the question is valid. The only metamorphs I've tried on 2.2 has not worked or has made me do a nandroid restore. It'd be nice if I atleast knew how to change the notification bar and the battery icon to something a little different. If anyone has done this successfully with an existing metamorph, please post it, if not for the original poster, then for me. I'd certainly thank you for it. And yes, I know how to use metamorph, but even some of the metamorphs in the themes and apps section don't work with all mods in 2.1, let alone 2.2.

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DS1495:
Hi all,

A little while ago I screwed up one of the software tweaks in the app 'Galaxy S Tweaker', then my phone would not boot. So I decided I might as well attempt to flash an I9000 Froyo ROM (can't remember the exact one at them moment, but either JP3 or JM5, I think.) and it is running great! except for one pretty big thing...my phone doesn't work as a, well, phone. It simply says: 'no service' and I'm obviously not able to send/receive text messages or calls.

Before I had 'bricked' my phone, I had it unlocked and running fine on the Telus network here in Canada. (I used the popular method as detailed in a different XDA thread, but it would seem as though Samsung has patched that, because I tried that method again, but to no avail.)

Does anyone know what the problem could be? :confused:

Thanks,

I have a Samsung Focus and my coworker also has a Samsung Focus but he added a 16GB card to his (mine is at the default 8GB). We did a speed test with the game ilomilo. At first his seemed to launch faster but after rebooting the devices, they were pretty much exactly the same.

Not sure how this meshes with the idea that the HTC devices are slower because of MicroSD. Maybe it's something else? Maybe the MicroSD doesn't have as much of an affect in the Focus since it also has embedded storage? Just thought it would be an interesting test.
