yes without killing the tasks it will be a matter of luck, also i noticed if you didn't kill tasks and been using only the camera for while, the problem is gone maybe because the camera takes over the memory or something, i really don't know

if you don't have the problem than good for you maybe you don't use the same apps as those who are suffering from the issue

as for playback on pc or phone, its good as long as the recording is good

Any word on whether Google's working on a WP7 Google Maps app?

There's this: http://dotnetbyexample.blogspot.com/2010/10/google-maps-for-windows-phone-7.html, but of course, Google's TOS won't allow that to become useful.

There's also a suggestion in Google Mobile's product ideas page: http://productideas.appspot.com/#9/e=cf&t=windows+phone+7+maps

Bing is fine in parts of the U.S., but I'm sometimes in Mumbai and other cities around the world, where Bing Maps is atrociously poor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I am hoping that either Microsoft improve their map service or Google brings their maps service to WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pikacz:
so it's impossible to go to m.google.com/maps on a wp7 device and download google maps? :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] paulrockliffe:
Doesn't this all look very similar to the anti-trust suites that occurred over Internet Explorer being bundled with Windows? I can't really see how having the MS service embedded into the OS doesn't break the same rules that IE was apparently breaking as a stand-alone but pre-installed program?

Hopefully we'll end up with a choice on first-run between Bing, Google and anyone else that wants to play so we can decide who we have integrated into the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reihnold:
I think it doesn't because Microsoft has nowhere near the marketshare on smartphones that Windows has on desktops. And I think it's possible for Google to write and submit a Google Maps application for WP7 and in my opinion Microsoft will allow the application in the marketplace (because otherwise there will be a long discussion online that may affect the image of WP7 negatively).

This is the most likely scenario.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I am expecting Google Maps on WP7 a lot, because I can't deal with Bing Maps.

In France and some european countries Bing Maps is just crap.

[Windows Phone 7 General] kenikh:
Google just announced it. BTW, why would you want Google maps? I can't stand it compared to Bing on Phone 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
There are 2 things I want from Google:

1. IE search to be changed from Yahoo! to Google (on the HTC HD7 in the UK), with search as you type and image search.

2. And of course, a fully featured YouTube app.

Bing is a decent mapping platform. The only feature it lacks is streetview.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
If true, it's great :)

Bing Maps is slow, terribly slow outside the US

Bing Maps has no Street View

Bing search is inaccurate and uncomplete outside the US. It misses most of the things I'm looking for, and Google finds it immediately.

Google includes images search.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
Why doesn't Bing have image search on WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] f1restarter:
well at least now you can have Google Search on your Windows phone 7. http://www.phonedog.com/2010/11/08/google-search-app-for-windows-phone-7-now-available/
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
As for Europe, Poland, Bing is worse than Gooogle, especially in searching streets etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Where are you ppl coming up with Bing Maps for WP7? I have looked and looked all over the web and cannot find where Bing Maps (turn by turn nav) is. It isn't built into the Bing search app on my new HD7 nor is it available at the Market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kenikh:
Press the Search button at the bottom right of your phone??? Works fine for me...BTW, wanna sell that HD7 you are sending back? Sux AT&T has crap hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
scroll to the right (the app list)... do you not have a "Maps" application there? It was built into my phone, it should be there for yours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] diego1985:
Bing would be alright, if they had public transportation built into their maps. That's why i love google maps lets me know when the next bus comes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Great that Google search comes to WP7 :). At least we will have the option to search for some images (Bing doesn't even include this basic feature).

Hope Google Maps will come soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
No Google maps yet (just a general Google search app).

As for why-- because Google Maps has vastly superior map and point of interest data in many, if not most, parts of the world than Bing Maps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Apparently, somebody has already compiled Google Maps for Windows Phone 7. You'll still need a developer account to load it though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
On my phone at the moment (and of course WP7 can't do anything with files), but I'd guess that's probably the same deal as this: http://dotnetbyexample.blogspot.com/2010/10/google-maps-for-windows-phone-7.html

If so, that's just pulling map tiles from Google-- not enough to actually do anything useful, and Google's TOS doesn't allow it anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
I am waiting to sideloading the maps on once WP7 is jailbreak all the way. There's no way Google Maps is going though Marketplace without Google approval. I guess those with a developer account can play with the bits at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
So according to the Google Maps web app team, the web app cannot be made to work on WP7 because IE Mobile lacks a proper touch API (when you drag your finger, IE scrolls the page-- there's no way for the web page to instead take over and, for instance, move the map around-- as happens on the iPhone/Android/Palm/etc.):

http://groups.google.com/group/goog...read/thread/2e735d1347c9900a/a50962c0b25f069b

Here's a thread on Google Mobile support forum (no useful replies yet):

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=65e7f7675485af93&hl=en

Someone has made a little test web app to show Google Maps results-- not terribly useful yet, but better than nothing I suppose: http://www.wp7map.com/

A native Google Maps app would solve all these issues, so hopefully Google's on that.

Also, curiously, when I went to http://m.google.com/maps on my HD7, Google gave the following error:

Heh :)

A heads-up for anyone interested-- I've started working on a Google Maps client for WP7.

Do you want me to submit this to the Marketplace? I got a free account through Dreamspark due to being a student so it wouldn't cost anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
This doesn't use Google's controlled developer APIs (which you sign up for), but its general service TOS most likely doesn't allow their map data being used for a full maps app (in which case MS would in turn not allow it in the marketplace). So I think it's probably going to have to remain limited to sideloading...
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Ahh fair enough, just checking if I could be of any help :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Yep thanks for the offer :) - would've been cool to submit to the marketplace, but I doubt it'd go through.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I want to throw this out here, cause I don't think lots of people realize it...

Google usually never implements Voice-Guided Navigation on Microsoft's smartphone OS, and Microsoft usually never implements Voice-Guided Navigation on Android.

If Google releases Google Maps, it will be about as Functional as Bing's Navigation on Android.

That's the way it was for Windows Mobile, and that's the way I'd envision it being for WP7.

Bing on WP7 will have VGN in the Jan 2011 update.

(And yes, I realize it can suck in other countries. Since I know some people will repeat that for the thousanth time :P )

--As of Now-- Killed my phone -.-

--As of 30 secs later-- Fixed my phone :D with older nandroid backup...same recovery error...

So ive been using my rooted hero for awhile now i got the RA recovery working and the CM 6.x but I havent been able to get the clockworkmod working either. ive been using the rom-manager app from the market and whenever I try to flash the clockworkmod it says error while flashing? so is there another way to flash the clockworkmod or something else i can try to make it work, i havent been able to find much info out there. if you could direct me where to look or whatever i could use the help thanx. Im just testing everything out that i can so i learn the field ive been playing around in better.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip187:
Open up Rom Manager and scroll down to Flash Alternate Recovery and touch that. It will ask 'Are you sure you want to flash an alternate recovery? blah blah blah.. Select OK. Once finished select OK. Scroll back to the top and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Select the phone model (mine is HTC Hero (CDMA) and wait. Once finished select OK then scroll to Reboot into Recovery. Hope that helps
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandix:
Is superuser installed? it is default with most custom roms, but if you are running stock sprint rooted it wont be, the app needs to have superuser permissions to flash.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I7IZI:
Hmm, well before I got the opportunity to try installing superuser I goofed something and had to start over from scratch. But when I reinstalled rom manager I got it to flash the clockwork recovery, I think it may have been that I didn't install the clockwork rom before I did anything else the first time. Anyhow after flashing clockwork I goofed something again and decided I preferred Amon recovery more so now everything is working and stable again. Thanx for tip though I'll remember that if I ever go back to the stock sprint rom...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porkrinds:
After I did the S-OFF unlock, the only way I could get a recovery on the phone was via the unlocked (S-OFF) HBOOT, taking the clockwork recovery image (.img) adding it and an android-info.txt (is that right?) I stole from someone elses HERCIMG.zip and making my own HERCIMG.zip then flashing via HBOOT menu.

If I try to use ROM Manager, I get an error that flashing failed too. Amon_Ra recovery flashes fine from ROM Manager, however.

Hope I didn't confuse anyone :)

I'm running the stock Android OS on my Captivate no changes at all. My problem is when I use the stock email client or K9 I can't send an email unless I use Wi-fi. Now if I log into my Gmail or Yahoo account using the web client I can send and receive email. I should also say that I can receive emails if I choose to manually check for new messages and sometimes it will receive messages throughout the day. It had me thinking I had some setting to check for new mail but I couldn't find it. Anyone ever had this problem and if they did how did they fix it.

Hello there folks. Let me begin by introducing myself and my situation. My name is Damian, I am in the twelfth-grade and I am currently enrolled in my high-school's concurrent enrollment program with one of the local universities in which I have to write a paper concerning the field of software engineering.

I started this post with the intention of finding and asking certified software engineers a few questions concerning their professions.

I came to this particular forum because of the many brilliant folk here, and my assumption that certainly a portion of the active members are certified software engineers.

-Many thanks in advanced for your replies and imput,

-Damian
[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
I can answer questions in this field as I am a Software Engineer. I would be happy to give a young person such as yourself advice.

I actually didn't go into college right after high school, I wish I had but I incountered allot of hardship around your age. When I was 22 I went back to school and payed my own way through college, slept in my car in the college parking lot and lived off of peanut butter and jelly sandwhichs.

Honestly its your first job in software thats the hardest to get, but if your persistent you'll get it after that if your perform its pretty much smooth sailing. A good example is how everybody lately has had a hard time finding jobs (bad economy), and even I was laid off from a job where the company was doing great and then went south and I went on the market looking around and recruiters were calling non-stop and I had 2 jobs (one short term getting paid insane amounts of money for 200 hours of work, and then a long term contract after that), I took a vacation to vegas, paid of credit card debt and then started my long term contract.

So ask away!

Edit:

Oh I currently work for a large telecom company where I work ont here provisioning software. My main expertise is Java (j2se, j2ee blah blah) I also write reports (crystal, jfree and actuate), I also have alot of side skills like jsp, ajax, jquery. I actually have wirtten code professionally in all the major langs like c, c#, j# asp.net. As a software developer you constantly need to evolve and progress. I aslo done graphics professionally and If I had it my way I write videos games if I could but alas the life of a programmer is allot less glamorous than most people no.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Many thanks, I'm sorry to hear about your tough times, but I'm glad to hear things have settled out.

I want to say its great that your able to help me and thank you for your tux theme and scripts.

I am actually looking into dealing with my computers as a profession after collage.

So I begin (thanks again):

What courses and or certifications do you need.

What is a typical day in your job like?

Do you enjoy your job?

And you can tell me anything else that you believe to be important that I may have missed.

-Thanks again

Such a blog would be amazing (and id read up hourly for updates trust me, this sounds fascinating!)but I wouldn't want to detract from your life anymore then I already have, you work hard and I imagine that you would want to have time to yourself for your hobbies and your family.

No really i want to answer them I wish I had been in you're shoes when I was your age. I didn't have some one telling that I could do it... computer were different back then hell I didn't own my own computer till I was in my twenties.

Ill do the blog for you... one if the perks of being on a computer. Like I said just at work tho. When I get home I can't promise when I be able to post.

So ask question one at a time since I tend to be long winded... it makers it easier... honestly when I retire I plan on teaching at a tech college... but thats about 20 years away. But I love to answer question about these things.
[Hero CDMA General] damiandarkwater:
Great :D

Well what was learning your first programming language like

Do you think knowing a markup language helps or would help in the learning process?

Is there any particular aspect of the computer world you like most?

Do you still keep in contact with any of your professors or colleges?

[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
Mark up languages are very important, but I wouldn't focus a career on them. Languages like html, dhtml or xml are skills you will pickup along the way, understanding how these langs are parsed and used by other languages are very important and is a valuable skill to have. Especially in Java and with the emergence of real time web applications that uses technologies like ajax, jquery and now html5 it is more important to understand the usage and capabilities of these languages rather than focus on just knowing how to write a webpage.

The future of software will be more and more web based and mobile application. as we have seen in the corporate world for the last 5 or so years application that were once only possible on the desktop have moved entirely to web based app. This makes deployments and updates easier to maintain, version control easier, and with technologies like html5, ajax used in conjunctions with SOA and SAAS these apps perform just as well or better than the app you use to see run on your desktop. Take MS Office 365 and their cloud software for this, this is essentially an SAAS (software as a service) you lease the software it doesn't run locally anymore and the software and its worries and maintenance are pushed to the software vendors, we start to see this more and more. Google has been at the for front of this, and expect to see computers in the near future that are just dummy terminals that run only the basics and all your important software is pushed to a corporate cloud. I'm not saying desktop pcs will disappear but downloadable software will begin to especially in the corporate world.

I pretty much like anything that has to do with technology. I love the history of computers since I grew up and pretty much watch the birth of the home pc and remmeber when the 486dx came out and it was considered the best computer you could get. I remember using the trs-80 in typing class and the atari 2600 (still have one) kelico vision and then the nintendo (still have that to).

And yes I do stay in contact with the department head from my old college. I still use her as a reference from time to time since I worked in college for a little as a tutor (best job to get.. I recommend this if you can). College is about learning in large part but secondly its about contacts and networking. Make sure your networking in college, know your peers and previous alumni. Introduce your self and make sure to attend functions, since the will be potential co-workers or bosses.

So its mondays... I going to maybe do every couple of hours every hours might be to much. But I'm about to dive in to a ton of spaghetti code and try and make some since of it. This is especially ORM (look this up) code for an oracle database, and I'm trying to fix what is broken without having to actually rewrite the whole thing (if it was up to me I would). Be back in a couple of hours.
[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
So its just after 2 and I've had to switch task to help another developer. This is pretty common and as a developer you have to be able to multi task.

So I'm working in creating a way for dynamic where clause can be built or just passed to and object DAO class.

The implementation I'm trying to fix is currently building them in a very static and non reusable way. When you design code it has be thought out and designed in such a way so that things like maintenance on said code is taken into account, and that repeatable processes are written in such a way that the can be reusable. This seems to have non of that.

If your looking at a package or program and see common re-occuring methods then this would be considered bad (imo) and should be re-evaluated and or rewritten so that this process can be written in one spot and referenced be other, this way if bugs or changes need to occur in this process you only have to change it there, this is the most common principle in OOP design but you be amazed at how much it is abused.

While you might be saving time up front your creating time on the back end for thing like code maintenance, upgrades or bug fixes.

It's about 5 for me and I just got home from school. I was at a friends house trying to understand a virus her computer contracted. (smart engine, annoying little thing, but its all better now.)

I'm looking into ORM as I type this. Interesting o:

I ask about the markup languages because ill be taking an html5 course next term. Makes sense that id learn about them along the way.

Sounds like you can handle quite a bit all at once, does that develop with time?
