That blows. Makes me think about just going to get the LG Optimus 7. That phone definitely has awesome build quality.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I'm still going to try one, at least. I'm looking forward to the speaker and the screen mainly. Red on the HD7 looks like Orange, lol.
[Venue Pro General] Sangheili:
Between the HTC HD7/Surround, Dell venue pro, and the Samsung focus, I would rate the screens as follows:

HTC: 5.0

Dell: 8.0

Samsung: 9.0

Both the Dell/Samsung are a little blurry or grainy up close but the picture quality/contrast is so much better then LCD.
[Venue Pro General] mrmomoman:
Up close and with small text is the downside of SAMOLED and AMOLED screens with the PenTile matrix. My only gripe. When resolutions go up in the future. I will be curious as to how much better it will be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
I thought there would be some way to load any type of office documents onto the point without having sharepoint (i dont work for a company that has a sharepoint server, i'm just a college student) but i can't seem to find anything. The only thing i can see to find is taking all my documents then email them to myself they just saving them to my phone from the email. Is there any better way than this right now?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
install windows live essentials 2011 (the particular program from this you want is windows live mesh).

from windows live mesh, assign particular folder(s) so that it goes to your skydrive. from there, on your windows phone, visit http://skydrive.live.com/. it will load up your skydrive files, and you can view & edit them. from there you can also save it, and it goes back to your skydrive, and becomes available for your home computer as well.

this is the best way to go about it at the moment. though i hope someone can throw an application together for this (hopefully MS), but if not, i should give it a crack :P.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamwebb28:
You could upload them to skydrive then go to skydrive.live.com from the phones browser and download from there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
if you honestly made an app for this, i would easly pay $5 for it. some of the powerpoints i have to look at are 5mb in size, and when i need to see them right away, or i'm away from a place without wifi this will def cause problems

Use homepipe to download documents a.s.o. from your PC to your phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
What's really frustrating is that the phone only syncs with SharePoint 2010. Thus the free SharePoint 2007 account I get with my hosted Exchange service is useless.

-R
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Find a host that has migrated to Exchange 2010. It's not hard and pricing in the hosted Exchange space has always been, and will likely always remain, very competitive.

That being said, I never use my free Sharepoint space because they only giev you like 100-200MB space, which simply isn't enough.

I prefer to just use SkyDrive instead.

SkyDrive offers you so much space that it would probably be a bad thing to have the phone automatically sync with it. If you end up with ridiculous amounts of Photos Documents in your SkyDrive and have to reset you phone you run the risk of forgoing your data limit in just one sync.

That is less of an issue with SharePoint, especially when your phone is on a VPN and is probably using Work's secure WiFi connection. You're also not likely to have more data on SharePoint than you do space on your phone. That is a possibility with SkyDrive.
[HD7 General] MantisBoy:
I was just wondering if a white background would consume more power than a black background for the theme settings.. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
[HD7 General] tbk21:
Depends on what phone you are using. The samsung and dell with their samoled screen consume more power with a white background. The htc phones are using s-lcd which means it doesn't matter if it is white or black. I prefer the white background on my HD7 it looks nicer.
[HD7 General] MantisBoy:
Oh cool.. Im using a HD7.. Was using black in thinking that it will prolong battery life.. Now that you mention that, i'm switching to white =) Thanks =)
[HD7 General] digime:
Black looks best.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
I like black but it annoys me that the fonts on black look horrible. For instance, in settings, the small fonts distort when scrolling up and down. This doesn't occur on white. Nor does it occur on the Omnia 7 even when on black. So perhaps this is a HD7 issue, or perhaps it is just my HD7. Am interested to know if others have noticed it.
[HD7 General] digime:
I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm bugged by it. Thanks.
[HD7 General] MantisBoy:
LOL.. Infectious thoughts.. =)

On side note does anyone have their notification LED on when there's a text message? I only have the LED on when i have missed calls..
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Could you elaborate on this distorting text? I haven't noticed anything on my HD7 with black background. Text looks wonderful on this screen and Windows Phone 7.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
just open the Settings page and scroll up and down slowly. Notice how the small subtext is a lot tougher to read while scrolling. That's what he is referring to I believe.
[HD7 General] Spybreak:
The text issue is called "ghosting" and is due to the low quality LCD panel on the HD7, which has a very low pixel response time.

It bugged me a lot on a black background. It's not noticeable on white.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
Yep, as the other guys say. A better description than my original one is that the text has a "shimmer" when scrolling. It sort of fades out.

Rather than it being a panel issue, I think is might be a cleartype or font smoothing type of issue. Later on I'll do up a bitmap image with some text on it, and see if the problem occurs. If yes then it's a crap panel and if no then maybe fonts/cleartype/software and hope.

Another problem with the black background is you do see the backlight ever so slightly. Yes, I knew this, when I (now somewhat regretfully) chose it over the Omnia 7. Be good if Microsoft gave us more colour options, I'd probably use a very dark grey if available. My £99 ZTE Blade has far nicer blacks than my HD7 :( Sorry to rant. No need to flame. I think the HD7 will be the great WP7 hacker/modder device and this alone is enough for me.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
I created a bitmap and emailed it to myself. The shimmering effect did occur when moving around. So it does seem like a screen or a screen driver problem, and nothing to do with fonts and the like.
[HD7 General] webshark3:
Here's your answer. Enjoy whatever color you want. :)

http://hubpages.com/hub/Google-Israel-Goes-Black-to-Support-Earth-Hour
[HD7 General] tbk21:
I thought it was because grey on black has less contrast than grey on white. Could you do the same but instead of grey use white.
[HD7 General] bhogal:
I have just again compared the scrolling of the settings page on my HD7 with my Trophy and there is a huge difference!!

On the Trophy's SLCD screen there is no ghosting and everything just flows and stays readable all the time.

Everything is just so much more vivid and vibrant on the Trophy !

It is indeed a shame that HTC have not used a SLCD screen for their flagship model :mad:
[HD7 General] Steve_Walker:
I've stayed with white :-) I tried black for a bit but it did not look as contrasty as hoped.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
Sorry tbk21, I can't try it as I sold the phone. Got loads of interest on Gumtree. HD7 is not the one for me. The speakers, the screen and the slow loading of sdcards. Sticking with my clunky Android for now. Maybe I'll be back for the second wave of WP7 phones.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wau808:
Tried to search the forums, but couldn't really find an answer to this, no online. I was wondering if the black mt4g has a silver outline like the white mt4g around the screen?

I am having some issues with my phone and am going for a trade in, and was thinking about getting the black one instead. Any help would be appreciated
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafish69:
Yes, it does
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sym1:
Actually all the colors except white, have a titanium colored rim around the screen. The white is the only one with the silver. IMHO the darker titanium, blends better with the black screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wau808:
Thanks gang. After looking ar some more reviews, I am actually really getting into the all black.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Your opinion my be humble, but some like contrast, not blending. The white one has very contrasting colors and materials. Reminds me of a white Harley. It's gorgeous.

[Fascinate Android Development] samscinate:
Thanks for the post.... and for the above poster, makes it so you don't have to have the update.zip for CWR. If you watch before installing this when you reboot into CW it "installed" through a zip before it opened every time. Now it doesn't need that. Nothing major, just a final clean and permanent CWR. Thanks again OP.
[Fascinate Android Development] bL33d:
sweet worked great.
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
So for the update.zip method we just flash in cwm recovery? Or in the stock recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Thanks for the update, noobnl.

Allow me to add a word of caution, however. This will make recovering from voodoo removal that much more difficult.

Just something to consider.
[Fascinate Android Development] gardndj:
How so? The only step that takes place in stock recovery is a data wipe, which is then repeated in CWM. It's questionable that both are necessary. Or am I missing the bigger picture here?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I welcome you to try just the cwm wipe, and let me know if it is the only step necessary.

Kthx ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] gardndj:
Was that sarcasm or a genuine invite? Does the stock recovery wipe data that CWM doesn't? It just seems kind of repetitive, but for all I know I'm completely off my rocker. I've been running non-voodoo kernels recently, and I don't really feel like going through the PITA process of removing it again.
[Fascinate Android Development] gardndj:
Aaaand I see that you are the OP of the [How to] Completely Remove Voodoo Lagfix thread. So I'm gonna be quiet now. :D

[Fascinate Android Development] themobijew:
im just a little confused by the OP. is it 2 different methods? or need to do both? can i just do the update.zip and im done? thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I have put this up in my section of ROM Manager, with credit to the creators, just to help with distribution. If you would like me to take it down please let me know and I'll be glad to.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
To explain:

No, its not always necessary, but yes, the stock recovery does wipe things that cwm does not. One thing for instance, is /data/fota.

Secondly, while not necessary, I have worked with probably 20 different people in IRC with it, and so far, its been the only method to escape force close hell, is by wiping with one then the other, in that order. Sometimes fc hell happens when uninstalling voodoo and only wiping with cwm.

So, it is an extra step, and not always needed. But in the event you do one day need that extra step...well don't come to me. You will have an appointment with odin.
[Fascinate Android Development] daveydingus:
The instructions are kinda weird....do we do both steps or just one of them?
[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:
I agree with this man. After realizing that I had something corrupted lingering in my phone yesterday which was causing all kinds of restarts. I installed the permanent fix for CWM. It did work, but I had issues of it not doing what it was supposed to do.

So I went through Adryenalyne's process for removing Voodoo. Which didn't work. I did flash the VooDoo Remover zip which did work...

I ended up flasing through Odin - Stock system, stock kernel, and stock recovery to get it to point where it was working... This still didn't fix everything.

I ended up having to enter stock recovery where I had to wipe everything. This didn't work either as my phone entered FC hell. I then turned to recovering the stock nandroid image. and this is where I'm at right now.

In case you are wondering, I'm with Adrynalyne.
[Fascinate Android Development] bblanski:
I can't seem to wipe anything with this installed. Off to Odin I gues
[Fascinate Android Development] themobijew:
i think i will wait lol
[Fascinate Android Development] dustinface:
I removed voodoo last night, created the disable file, unable to boot. Flashed stock system with Odin, didn't work. Flashed stock kernel etc, still didn't work. Finally wiped data with stock recovery and voila, my device finally booted. I'll definitely be hanging on to the two recovery setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I installed this fine, but after that i tried to wipe /data and it went through way to fast, and didn't actually erase anything. i think that should probably be fixed.

Yeah, if you have voodoo and ever wanna uninstall it this perma cwm is not for you. I did the flash and then tried to undo voodoo but since you need access to stock recovery this was an issue
[Fascinate Android Development] wisconsinated:
There a way to undo this? does Odin flashing return the phone back to stock?
[Fascinate Android Development] noobnl:
Well you can do bml flash to stock recovery with test keys using redbend-ua and wipe and flash back to perma recovery

Will make an update.zip with stock recovery later today

Lol. I have learned the hard way that adrynalynes short cryptic responses are 99.95% accurate. :P I think I'll keep the update.zip method, because after this thread I damn well wont be posting asking for help if I run into issues with the integrated CWM here. Lmfao.

OK. So what do I have to do to undo this and go back to the original CWM that needs to update.zip?

Do I just flash the test-signed-recovery-update-fascinate.zip?

Also, I can not go to stock recovery anymore (holding both volume up & down when powering up).

I can only go into CWM recovery.. everyone else noticed this?

Yes. I just flashed the test-signed-recovery-update-fascinate.zip and the phone is back to the non-permanent CWM again.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] 40Glock:
I like the non-permanent myself!

If I have to take a warranty claim, it's WAY easier to just flash a stock, non-rooted zip and then delete the update.zip to get rid of CWM. The extra step doesn't bother me and I think it'll lead to less headache with ODIN in the future.

I precaution anyone thinking about going permanent. At this point, I see no real advantage to it. (though I'm sure there are some) It'll make it much harder to go stock. If it works, I think all custom recoveries should be temp like the update.zip method!
[Fascinate Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
The main concern, really, is that the CWM Recovery can't fully delete Voodoo. That is the main reason I keep the default method: if I need to wipe, I can actually do a FULL wipe with the Samsung recovery.

The first two links are the same you only need one of them, he is telling you to download it below as an instruction but because he uses the HTTP:// it turns that instruction to a link as well...but as for the ".exe or bat type thing" of the post you should really do some more research before you go messing with thing you don't understand just trying to save you from major misfortune or yourself.....one of the two;)
[Fascinate Android Development] jakechance:
I'm confused as well.

For the update.zip method, do we simply load Rom Manager, boot into clockwork even though we can't install it, and then rename and apply clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fascinate.zip as update.zip?

For the other method, I'm more confused. Both driver links point to usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip though while I'm not sure, it looks like it has drivers for i386 in the archive too. In addition, there are no runtryfirst.bat or runtrylast.bat files to be found in either archive.

Finally, do you need these galaxy drivers if you've already installed them for One Click Root?

To make a long story short, I was viciously text bombed by a friend of mine and it caused a lot of problems for me. I was driving to a meeting 3 hours away from my house and I started getting text bombed. I didn't have directions so I was using my GPS to get me there. You see the problem here. My GPS force closed and it basically heated my phone up to the point where it just kept boot looping. It caused me to be late to my meeting because I had to guess my way there. You can say I was pissed. Well I want to get revenge now. I downloaded a SMS bomber app from the market but when it gets to the 100th text message, it will start having a notification pop up that says a large amount of texts are being sent out and then for any more texts to be sent out I have to manually press okay and it's very frustrating. I was wondering if there was any way to modify this in terminal or remove the cap so that it doesn't warn me anymore. Thanks :)

If you guys can recommend a better SMS bombing app that I don't have to worry about the notification, that would be great too :)
