[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
No worries, your heart was in the right place. I think I'm ok for now. Going out of town this weekend so won't be able to play with this until probably tuesday night.

Also kinda waiting for CM6 to be available for our phones. :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macfan74318:
Yup Cyanogen Mod 6.1 will be amazing. They have already booted it but the status of the ROM is unknown
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Well it boots, but nothing works yet. Give them time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macfan74318:
Well kmobs says that "more will be released tonight". Maybe we will get a nightly build!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreh4christ:
Can someone help me root my mt4g.i need wifi tethering.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macfan74318:
How to root

First Question? Do you get and OTA Update (You can check by going to System -> About Phone -> Software Information. If you have gotten the update then under Android version it would say 2.2.1.

Next you need to follow this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

What I did is I downloaded the program droid explorer (PC) (http://de.codeplex.com/) and it set up the whole adb system. All I did was to plug the phone in and copy the two files using Super Manager (Phone) and the ran the 2 commands minus the adb part of the command.

Download Visionary (http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/) and then copy the apk file to your sd card.

Then mount your phone to your pc and copy the two files on to the root of your SD Card

Then open up super manager and go to settings and Enable ROOT Function, and show hidden files.

Then go the the copied files and cut them (Hi-light check box and hit the pair of scissors)

The keep navigating up one level until you cant go up anymore.

Then navigate to data

Then inside of data select local and paste the files there.

Then plug your phone in but dont mount it ( When you plug in it pull down the notification bar and select USB CONNECTION Change Type and change it to charge only.

The open Droid Explorer and it will recognize your phone

Look on the tool bar and hit the icon that looks like the command prompt icon.

The type su an on your phone you will get a prompt for superuser on your phone accept it.

Then copy and paste the following commands

insmod /data/local/wpx.ko You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want

dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Then type sync and wait about 5 min and then reboot.

Complete Credit for this guide goes to grankin01 I just broke it down step by step.

Hope this helps

For what it's worth, I'm using a locked Bell Desire Z with an iPad micro SIM and it's working just fine.

I bought the phone outright at Best Buy for $499 and I'm paying $15mo for the 250MB pay-as-you-go iPad plan.

Post bugs experienced here (if you already haven't done so): http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7/threads

The official microsoft feedback forums.

The typical answer of "Reboot your device" may seem like a joke to you (believe me, it is) but this is just them trying to temporarily provide an answer while they are fixing said bugs and getting ready for an update. I'd hope that it's no later than January.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thanks microhaxo,

There is indeed a specific thread for all bugs here, but unfortunately they refuse to stick it as THE official thread for bugs reports:

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I've experienced one bug. In IE, I was attempting to delete the old, irrelevant content from a PM here in XDA and the only way to do it, since there is no copy & paste, which usually includes a highlighting function, was to put the cursor at the end of the unwanted text and press the delete key till all of the text was gone. IE funked up and froze. I could not back out of it to a previous screen. I could press the Windows button and get out of it, but going back into IE took me straight back to the problem page. IE wouldn't go anywhere else.

A system reboot was the only way to solve this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
How do you make a new thread there. I don't see a button to make a thread about my bug. And I am signed in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Marty,

Normally, once you logged in, there should be a button "Ask a question" on the top left.

Regarding you problem with IE, I suggest you to pin one of your favorite website on the Start screen.

So, therefore, if your IE browser is blocked for some reason, don't click on the IE logo (which will lead you to the same problematic webpage) but rather click on the logo of your favorite webpage (therefore IE will open another webpage without problem).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Good idea. Thanks

Marketplace not working

Yeah my marketplace is no longer working. This may be a messaging problem. I had AT&T turn off my messaging since i dont use it and dont want the ads that i had to pay for coming in. Then marketplace stopped working. So I turned messaging back on, but MP still does not work. It goes in "queing", then the sign on screen comes up in the backgound..then nothing. The back key does not work either. I hate to say this but a hard reset may be the answer which I really dont want to do again. At one point an email sign in page came up after I tried to get an app....it had a captcha feature too....but that email signin has not come up again. Maybe they are working on it? When I try to get updates from the first MP window, I get error codes 80048823 or another code. AT&T support (useless) told me messaging had to be turned on in order to use marketplace. Of course they didnt tell me that before i turned it off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
zune was down this morning. You can go here to check the status (I think marketplace goes through it)

http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/

On the left hand side you can see status updates on the network.

Here's one: the camera app won't save its settings. That's annoying as effing hell :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Add super poor cell radio reception on my T-Mobile HTC HD7. Sitting in a room trying to get a family member to call me from my old HD2, which shows 5 bars, on my HD7, which show zero bars, they get a voicemail message saying I'm not available. I hold the phone up in the air...arm reach higher...and the call goes through, but with 1 to 2 bars.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
That's my only annoyance of the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
and both are on T-mo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
that is a known bug which has beed reported by ms to be corrected in next update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
most of if not all of these problems all sound like things that occur when you change your microsd or in samsung case add additional sd card to the phone because there are not ms certified. not sure if you have done one of the two but things wont change unless you go back to original microsd.. I had some of these problems when i had my additional card in my phone but after removing it i have had no issues to this point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
Yays. Thanks for the know. Yea I said it. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thank you for the tip, but unfortunately it is not the reason. I have a LG Optimus 7 with no way to remove or replace the SD card.

I often synchronise Zune, so it can have some impact on the storage, but that's all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Not for me. I have a dell venue pro and i haven't touched the sd card.

I have the exact described issues. I'm afraid to browse through the market for fear that i'll have to reboot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
could those with those MP issues try a complete hard reset (settings > about > reset your phone)... or if there is a physical reset (i think it's both volume buttons pressed together whilst turning the phone on from cold boot).
[Windows Phone 7 General] panflute:
bugz

I had several bugz on my HTC Surround. Marketplace stopped working, my email quit working, I couldn't fix or update anything. So I hard reset the phone and connected to the computer and to my surprise the Zune software reinstalled all of my apps (in the background without my knowledge) and everything now works fine. All I had to do was reset my email and other personal settings.

WP7 randomly playing music of its own accord?

A couple of times recently my HD7 has been caught apparently picking a random music track and just playing it, while the phone is locked and in my pocket. Has anyone else had that happen?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Post in the bugs thread. I'm sure you'll get a faster answer in there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
lol. ive pulled my phone out of pocket and had all sorts of things being pressed and opened. screen lock is very sensitive.
[Windows Phone 7 General] saldawop:
I know it doesnt answer your question, but I have had this happen on my Samsung Galaxy S , and the iPhone 3GS before that.

Phone would be in my pocket, locked, where it had been for over an hour without touching it.All of a sudden a random song would play.Not a song I was listening to previously.It was a bit embarrassing when Justin Bieber played at full volume.Not the kind of thing a 45 year old should be listening to!!! (I have some music for my kids on my phone:D)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
The fix for this is to uninstall the app, then reinstall it. But yes it's a pain. Updates ARE available for apps you have on trial, they just don't always seem to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
Ok! Merged thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] santacruzdz:
It is I who becomes too demanding ... or I have the impression that WM7 is slow to open apps?? I frankly did not review the "please wait ..." during execution spot .. I bought such a dictionary on the market, when I type a word .. ca carrement takes a few seconds to display! htc frankly my desire ... I miss the fastest smartphone I've ever had
[Windows Phone 7 General] bernaserra:
Sounds like you may want to return your phone and head back to android. Not trying to be rude but if you have issue with a device then no one is forcing you to keep it nor make 12 forum posts about it. Overall WinPhone 7 is one of the fastest mobile os's out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Agreed. Shlomo78 has contributed nothing to this forum except a slew of threads and posts all saying the same thing "WP7 is slow I love my Android phone". I don't criticize others' postings as a rule but this guy is making my life on this forum a misery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
Right!

He has been told in two threads closed and in the comment above about language.

So you can rest easy, the moderation team is watching.

You do not need further comments about it are off topic, including this my comment.

I'll just leave for a while and then I'll delete the comments offtopic this the thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
Great list of issues, let's make this the official list. Screw the Microsoft forums. I'll personally print and give this list directly to the Windows Phone 7 team as well as bring it up in our discussions in January.

We just need the OP to edit the list as needed (and also collate the issues from the Microsoft forum).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ekw:
device:focus

some times when the phone is not being held, the touch screen does not respond to finger input until i pick it up. this may be a feature...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I'm trying to update this list constantly.

Bugs listed are those reported both on this forum and on the Microsoft Answer forum.

There is a thread for bugs on the Microsoft forum but 'strangely' the forum team always refused to make this thread a Sticky one. Probably they want to hide it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
Hi guys I bought a focus last weekend. Great device btw. However I would to list a few gripes here, so if someone can tell Microsoft about these issues.

there is no vib & ring or silent quick access.

Alarm fails to turn screen on when alarm rings should vibrate also.

Setting time alarms appointments, etc why do we have to go through minutes the way we dl? Seriously no one needs 7:01 wake me up

should be 5 10, 15 min intervals.

In IE when there is a pull down panel and there are more options it just disappears , this is the most frustrating one.

No password protect when purchasing apps.

Would be better if they add numbers 0-10 at top of keyboard (I guess a feature really).

No embedded photos in email.

Save camera settings.

The speaker option should show after call immediately rather than pressing drop down each time. Very frustrating.

No embedding of YouTube videos.

I hope they add e voice turn by turn. They need to update their maps for canada.

Word wrapping in ie.

Selecting the whole sentence jn a text box is impossible. Such that I want to search with Google and then another, instead of double tapping in the text box I get nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gbbsoft:
phone: HD7

bug:

From time to time when someone call me I can't press "Answer" button. It looks like disabled.

I found fast solution: switch off and switch on phone, than I can press "Answer" button.
[Windows Phone 7 General] heisven:
Can confirm that on a mozart. Somebody mentioned that already.

Glad I did remember what to do: Screen off - Screen on and here we go.

Nontheless really really annoying..basic features like answering a call should work flawlessly from the beginning, MS!
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrew-in-woking:
Some solutions

Quick Access to silent/vibrate and Ring: Press one of the volume rocker buttons, on the pop down section that appears at the top of the screen, tap the vibrate/silent or bell icon and this will toggle the sound on or off.

When I select a drop down box in Internet Explorer I get a full screen selection menu that scrolls to include all the options.

I get imbedded photos/images in emails using a hotmail account on my HTC 7 Mozart.

If you double tap on a section of text in Internet Explorer it will zoom to accommodate the text width across the screen. Nearly all websites will be legible in landscape using this feature.

The option to select multiple lines of text other than in MS Word documents will come with the January update, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTZyOq3_A8k

Cheers

Yes, you can switch between vibrate or silent or noise, what about vibrate and ring? That's what I'm getting at. What about quick access to Silent without reducing to 0?

When I select a drop down box in Internet Explorer I get a full screen selection menu that scrolls to include all the options.

I don't know about this. Try going to bestbuy.ca and selecting computers or one of the tabs. There's a drop down menu. Closes right away.

Who knows, I don't.

If you double tap on a section of text in Internet Explorer it will zoom to accommodate the text width across the screen. Nearly all websites will be legible in landscape using this feature.

IE just looks weird, all the texts are different sizes most of the time. The quotes are different sizes, etc.

The option to select multiple lines of text other than in MS Word documents will come with the January update, [/url]

Here I want to select everything in the text box for a quick deletion. Impossible. So doing a search, and then deleting the selection in the text box I have to pres the back button.

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
When you press the volume rocker buttons, you can then click on the Ring icon to reduce it to Vibrate without having to reduce the ringtone volume to 0.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yellowchilli:
ok here's another one

Starting camera from standby state doesn't work every time.

steps to reproduce (somewhat random!)

when in standby- screenoff- hold cam button until vibrate

camera app starts, quit by using Home button, screen off/standby.

hold cam button again and nothing happens, no acknowledge vibration either.

might work again on next try......

LG Optimus 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
Yes, but what about no vibrate? Just silent. Wanna do it quick, gotta bring it to 0.

Another one, can't tab to next to next text box. Have to press a blank area of the screen, then go into another text box.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
you can also press the back button, that removes the keyboard from the screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I think it depends on the proximity sensor.

If ever you hide it the camera will not launch.

But I agree it's annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] istvan.farmosi:
Music playback not stopping when unplugging headphones

I found another one: When you pull the headphone jack out, music stops, but not if the phone is ringing.

Like, you listen to music, get a call, pull the earphones out to answer the call normally (I personally hate headsets and do this all the time), music will start playing on the loudspeaker along the ringtone. After ending the call, the music resumes on the loudspeaker.

My iPhone resumed music after the call

only

if I used a headset, and always stopped playback if I disconnected the headphones.

(In case this issue is model-specific, I have an Omnia 7)

Ad hoc wifi connection support

It's suck when I can't use my WM device to share connection to WP7 phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tripntx:
Using Samsung Focus, really like WP7 and this phone. Have facebook selected to only display information in contacts on people I already have in contacts. Works fine on phone.

Have a Garmin Zumo 550 GPS on my motorcycle, phone is bluetooth connected to GPS which is connected into intercom system on bike. GPS contacts shows all facebook people, not just the people in phone contact list.

I deleted FB from phone, turned on GPS and then only the contacts in my phone showed on GPS. Was really happy all those extra FB people were not in GPS contact list anymore.

Recreated FB account on phone with display only info on people already in contacts option selected, turned on GPS again, and all FB people showed up in GPS contacts. NOT HAPPY.

This is a WP7 problem. How can WP7 be stopped from sending FB people to GPS or other Bluetooth devices? (without the obvious, remove FB account from phone)
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
A couple of more annoyances.

Searching for something locally, you can't have the option to call in the browser when selecting a phone number. Hell, you can't even select words from the browser.

Searching a street goes to somewhere not even close to where you are. Living in BC seaching for Roberts Ave goes to Wisconsin.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
using Bing search, under local, if you click a result, it gives you a list of things you can do,

1. directions from your location

2. call

3. visit website

what am I missing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kindongo:
Samsung Focus reboots all the time

My samsung Focus automaticly reboots and loses all datas. This happens a least 3 times per day. Once that happens I have to reboot the phone again and then all my settings and data come back up. Is this happening to others Focus owners? Is very anoying….
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
You're using a bad microSD card. Take it out and hard reset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
as mentioned in the other tread that you posted about this exact issue...
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
Maybe you get this option in the states but here in Canada I don't get the local option, even if I change the settings to display local nothing ever shows up.. I guess this is binga fault.

Samsung Focus - Zune Music Background Noise

When I plug my car charger into my phone AND listen to Zune, there is alot of background noise and pretty much ruins the quality of the music. When I uplug the charger, the music quality greatly improves.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
It's cause you are using a .99 car charger. Get a better charger and you won't get the interference.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ke_steve_le:
Adding calendar events on WP7, will be synchronized to Google Calendar as an "invitation". Then you will need to accept your own invite in order to remove that "questionmark icon" next to the event on Google Calendar (Web).

That's really stupid to invite myself on my own event. Anyone know how to avoid this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Minimalist360:
As a developer let me comment on a few of these

This is developer error. A game I ported is about to be released and I noticed this issue and fixed it. It's confusing why this happens, especially since when you pin the app it gets the higher res icon by default, but it's a developer error. It's been fixed in my case, because I don't want a crap icon in people's games hub.

Again, as a developer, I can tell you that these are probably all related. I have a music volume control for the music track in my game, and when I set that to nothing, and exit, then Zune doesn't make any noise until I either reboot or go back into my app and turn the volume back up. Since the Zune has no independent volume control, even when you crank the system volume control to max, you're not adjusting this independent music volume. Apps should probably restore sound volume to previous volume when exiting as a workaround, I'm actually looking at adding this today.

Why they are being stubborn here and not using WebKit is beyond me.

Also, I have the same "open ground" sound issue on my Focus. I notice it most on my car charger. When the car charger is plugged in, every time the OS shuts off the sound completely, there's hum. When it turns on the sound to make system sounds or play music, it goes away. That's usually indicative of an open ground. My iPhone 3G had this issue, and it was fixed in a firmware update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Minimalist360:
It's because of an open ground when the sound is off. My iPhone 3G had this same issue, which apple fixed with a firmware update. In my case on my focus, it happens on every charger I've tried.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Minimalist360:
Oh wait, sorry. If it happens when silent, it's an open ground. If it happens when music is playing, yeah, that's something different. Sorry about that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
call me stupid but what is an "open ground" ?
