[HD7 General] frontieruk:
OK getting a bit bored of seeing the same questions so am going to compile the most frequent questions / requests here.

Can I :

Cut and paste?

ATM no, it's being addressed in the New Year FW update from MS

Use my own custom ringtone?

Not at this time, there are rumours that

the new year patch will add them

that MS is going to nickle and dime users and sell them exlusively through the market

Have media volume set differently to the ringtone?

Currently no, but from the number of people mentioning it, it'll be patched.

Download apps via PC Zune?

Yes! from the Zune software "Thanks for your purchase. Connect your phone to the computer to start the installation now. If you don't connect, the app will be installed on your phone the next time your phone checks for app updates"

Backup Apps to the PC?

No and Yes, currently no there is no way to backup an app to the PC, but when there is a FW update the Zune software takes a copy of the current FW+apps+contacts incase of issues so you can go back, expect to see a more inclusive backup added into the Zune software in a future update.

See if I'm using my data plan?

from anywhere you can see the clock, tap next to the clock, an info bar will drop, showing from left to right signal strength, data, wifi and battery.

Stop it using my data?

Switch data off! Settings / Mobile network / data connection

Also here are settings to stop network roaming and force 3G.

Can I get free tracks from my Zune pass (Eurozone)?

Yes, but unlike the US Zune Pass you don't get to choose them, it seems to be a promote artists feature in Europe, currently I blame coco and Rumer have a free track each to download.

Does it :

have front speakers?

No, the grills are aesthetic and hide the ear speaker and possibly the microphone.

display web page images at a lower resolution?

No, IE will either show the full desktop image or the mobile specific depending on your browser settings.

cycle tracks available via the zune pass?

Yes, it seems that albums get updated with album only tracks to try to encourage purchases, these tracks become unplayable via the PC and your phone the next time you sync it.

Support HSPA+?

No, it is HSDPA compliant which means for most users a theoretical max of 7.2Mbps is possible (remembering to take into account overheads etc) some places in the world could see up to 14Mbps due to network set-up.

Voice text entry?

Currently no, it supports calling contacts, opening apps and voice searches.

What happens

to apps after phone is reset?

There are reports they automatically re-download, my experience is you have to manually download them again, but they are listed as being owned by you.

How do I

Choose a contact picture?

People / Person / Edit (3rd Icon right at bottom) / Tap image

Then use a picture from one of the persons licked sources or choice from your mobile.

Change the tiles?

holding your finger on a tile will cause the other tiles to drop into the background, you can then move the tile to a new position or remove it by clicking the crossed through Pin on the top right, tapping the tile again will place it back down.

If you want to move multiple tiles move your first tile, then instead of tapping it to place it back, tap the next tile you want to move.

To add a tile go to your apps long press and click pin to start
