[Windows Phone 7 General] Silent Shark:
When you copy a picture to the phone, it is resized to 720x540 by the phone. This happens if you use Zune, email it to yourself, or use Skydrive to store it. This will be why it doesn't look as good as it should in the background.

I had a discussion with WinPhoneSupport on twitter, and they told me that was the maximum resolution for pictures on the phone.

It's one of the first things I've found on WP7 that irritates me. Fortunately, it doesn't irritate me too much and I still love the phone :) . However, if pics are important to you, I can understand the frustrations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eyan15:
Has anyone found a way around this? This is driving me crazy
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It's actually idiotic policy to do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] malatesta:
I wrote about this here: http://wpcentral.com/tip-get-high-res-photos-contacts-your-wp7-device

Basically, if you use Live, sync a high res photo to that linked account with your contact.

It's basically a Google thing--they downsize the photo. Microsoft Live does not. You can use both services, linked, for each contact. I did this for my Pinned contacts and they are all high rez and stay that way, thankfully.

Trust me, on Android, contact photos look just a crappy as they do when you sync Google to WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eyan15:
This I'm aware of, I have moved all my contacts from Google to live. Since Live now offers exchange support, all is well

But here we are talking about the Picture tile (not the contacts)
[Windows Phone 7 General] BIG-Stan:
If you edit the contact you can change the picture there. If you have linked your contact from different accounts (eg live, facebook) you can choose which picture to take for that contact. Usually there is one that is sharp. After that your Tile should have the crisp pic on it. I had blurry pics too when I synced the first time...

Salve a tutti perdonate il mio inglese stò usando google per tradurre il mio messaggio.

vorrei sapere se qualcuno fosse interessato e capace di creare un programma per hd2 che servisse a cercare il telefono quando viene di solito smarrito dentro casa, mi spiego meglio, a me capita di lasciare il telefono da qualche parte in casa e poi non riuscire a trovarlo.

Una soluzione sarebbe farlo squillare ma se non c'è campo?

Un probabile programma potrebbe funzionare cosi:

1) il programma si attiva all'accensione del telefono

2) quando si lascia il telefono, quindi il sensore di movimento non funziona per un determinato periodo di tempo (preimpostato dall'utente) parte il programma

3) quando comincia il programma, il microfono si attiva se il microfono capta un suono prememorizzato o preregistrato dall'utente ad esempio un fischio, il telefono risponde emettendo un qualsiasi suono o file audio contenuto nella sua memoria permettendo così di essere ritrovato

4) il programma potrebbe funzionare anche in associazione al sensore di luminosità

Grazie a tutti coloro che fossero interessatie che vorrebbero sviluppare questa idea

Eng

Hello excuse my English I'm using google to translate my message.

I wonder if anyone is interested and able to create a program that would serve to search for hd2 when the phone is usually lost in the house, I explain, I happen to leave your phone somewhere in the house and then not be able to find .

One solution would be ringing him but there is no field?

A program could probably work like this:

1) the program is activated when the phone start

2) when you leave your phone, then the motion sensor does not work for a certain period of time (default user) the program starts

3) when the program starts, the microphone is activated when the microphone picks up sound pre-stored or pre-recorded by the user such as a whistle, the phone responds by emitting a sound or any audio content in its memory allowing it to be found

4) The program may work in combination with light sensor

Thanks to all who were bidders who would like to develop this idea

I'm not exactly sure what happened, I installed the recovery and then tried to load a ROM, the rom didn't work so the recovery aborted it. Now I can't use my phone other than in recovery mode, when I start it I get a bunch of coloured blocks show. Is there a way to flash a bin without actually having the phone on as normal mode, will the acer tool work if i enable the usb from the recovery?

[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I have My Tab plugged in to my PC all day while debugging on it as I develop, unfortunately the fact that the tab somehow and for some reason disables charging while debugging is causing a huge problem for my workflow.

Can anybody suggest a possible solution that will allow me to charge and debug at the same time. My boss may consider allowing me to root the device (I know it's easy, I could do it right now, but it's political) if I know it's the only option.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
The power outlet of the USB port isn't enough to charge it, which is driving me nuts too.

If you root it you can use ADB wireless (free app on market) to use adb over the wifi, and have the tab plugged into the wall. :D Otherwise I don't know. Maybe a hub with it's own power supply **might** do it, but I'm not sure.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
Thanks, I assumed it was a software check that it's connected in debug and simply disabled.

My boss has agreed to allow me to root it on the basis that I can restore it to factory if required.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Cool beans. Glad I could be of assistance. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I'm still surprised it's that much of a beast that it needs more power than the USB port can supply, I mean, is it all because of the screen?

The wall charger does 2A :eek:

But the specs aren't any higher than my HTC Desire except for the screen and that only needs 1A from the charger and can charge by USB too.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
I genuinely have no idea. I'm given to understand that the Tab does charge from USB, albeit slowly. As for why it needs 2A, who knows. Maybe Samsung don't like us using other chargers.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
Well my Tab doesn't charge from USB unless it's switched off. If it's on, the Battery symbol has a line throgh it, as in "charging disabled".
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah, mine does that too. I just use wireless ADB now, so much easier
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I think you will find that even in those circumstances it is still actually charging, albeit very slowly.

I had my Tab hooked up to my PC last week and when I connected it up it was showing that it wasn't fully charged, and didn't appear to be charging. However, when I disconnected it some time later it appeared to be fully charged.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile downloading JuicePlotter to see what affect, it any, connecting the Tab to your USB port has.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
It's not the specs of the device, it's the size and resistance of the battery. It charges slowly over USB, and it charges a much smaller percentage of the battery's capacity than it would with a smartphone.

Easy math, it's over 3x the capacity of your Desire battery, and as you well know, even your Desire battery charges slowly over USB compared to mains.

The larger backlight should consume about twice the voltage of a 3.7" display (rough estimate), so you're barely pushing any charge at all via USB when the display is on, a trickle of a trickle.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
You're right, I probably should have looked into the rating of the Battery in this thing. As an Engineer, the math is trivial.

Still, It appears to me that it's not charging at all, not even trickle, from full charge when I left for work this morning to empty before the end of an 8 hour working day with it plugged in to usb the entire time, slightly disappointing result.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Just as a matter of interest, I installed JuicePlotter and attached my Tab to my laptop and adb'd into the Tab and left it for a while. JuicePlotter definitely shows the battery charge rising, but probably only in the region of 5-10% per hour.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I'll give it a try, where do I find this juice plotter? Market app?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Yes, it's on the Market.

[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
This power thing is annoying. I bought a 1 amp car charger USB adapter when I got my HTC Desire as running my satnav software on it otherwise depleted the battery quickly. The 1 amp charger was enough to charge the phone while running the software.

However, if I use it with my Tab, rhe battery is still running down while using the satnav software, although slowly.

If I got a 2 amp car charger adapter, would that solve the problem? Can one buy 2 amp adapters for the car? I don't reallly want to buy the way overpriced Samsung car charger, which isn't even available yet.

EDIT: OK I've found 2 amp USB car chargers are available. Will 2 amp be enough to charge the Tab while running the satnav software?
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I have never seen a 2A car charger but yes, that would do the trick if you found one. I assume Samsung's will be 2A, how much is it to be "overpriced"? A 2A Samsung official car charger is probably worth about £25 I'd say.
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
Carphone Warehouse are showing the official one at £34.99!

I have seen that the US company Scosche does one they say is for the Tab and outputs 2.1 amps. GPS4less are doing a 2 amp one (they do not mention the Tab) on their website at a total cost of £8.07 incl p+p but they are selling the same thing on ebay for £4.99 with free p+p. I think I'll give it a try but I may try to phone them when they open at 10 to see if they have tested it with the Tab.

EDIT: I've now found a couple that have 2.1 amp output and these seem to be offered for the ipad. Only slightly more expensive. Is there going to be a significant difference between 2 amps and 2.1 amps? I don't have my mains charger with me. What does it say is the output on the mains charger?
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
Clove have just got stock of the official car charger and, unlike other websites, they are saying it comes with another USB cable for the Tab. They confirmed it on the phone so I went with them. We'll see if that's right. Only disadvantage with the official one is that it only takes one cable whereas some take one 2 amp and 1 1amp.
[Galaxy Tab General] George_2010:
The Galaxy Tab has a 4000mAh battery so requires a higher charging current, typical USB port can provide between 100mA upto 500mA which is not enough to charge the Tab in a reasonable time hence the reduced charging rate.

I suspect the Samsung charger has some form of coding on the D+/D- lines of the USB connector so the Tab can detect that it is connected to a suitable charger and will then draw the max 2A. If it doesn't see the coding then it will only draw the lower current.

Therefore until the coding in the charger is known you probably won't get the Tab to draw 2A from any charger that is capable of providing it.
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
Got my charger and it does indeed come with a USB cable for the Tab. Makes it much better value at £24.99 plus p+p when eveyone seems to be charging £14.99 just for the cable. Not tried it yet though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuka325:
As many of you in this community i am a self proclaimed ROM-slut. I see a fun looking ROM and even before i think to myself if it is even needed i am flashing away. I have read in several places that it is a good idea to go back to stock through Odin every so often. I have never done this and really have never had any problems flashing zips through recovery. So, my question is... Is it NEEDED to go to stock or just personal preference and liking to start from a completely clean slate.

I have tried Odin once and failed as i got the "Gadget (something)" when trying to set it up and connect to Odin. I can use ADB just fine. I tried pc studios (which failed to completely download due to my great and OLD computer), and may try again to get the proper drivers when in Dowload Mode but still a little scared of Odin as i have seen several threads where it may have done more harm than good.

I'll survive without it but the one thing I always liked about Sense was the copy/paste feature. Way more intuitive and redoable on the fly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crytos:
Yeah i'm on the Desire Z and the copy/paste is excellent, it's what you get with gingerbread but implemented in Sense on 2.2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
There is no way to "pull" this from Sense onto Stock because its baked into the framework. It would have to be reverse engineered which is a time exhausting task.

Suggestion either flash a Sense rom or wait for Gingerbread if you dislike Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I went ahead and checked out some of the apps on the market. They essentially just took a small portion of a screen cap and deciphered it from there. Even more annoying than the FroYo copy/paste.

[HD7 General] silverkiller:
its a general problem with most apps, and something i hope they fix very very soon. The fact that the apps cant freeze there state when you leave (i.e mobile 'multitasking') it makes them almost useless. If you exit to answer a text for example, you're forced to wait a minute or 2 to reload the entire app.

Updates will trickle down eventually, remember the OS is less than a month old. *Officially

[HD7 General] warpkid:
not quite true. You could press the windows key from within the twitter app. Start the messaging app and do what you need to do. When done hit the back key until you are back in twitter with the state restored. Its not that fast and not really intuitive but its there.

what a lucky deal for me, found someone to trade my slide for there nexus one!:) what do ya think good deal or not?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Definitely a good deal. The processor is better (1ghz in opposed to 600mhz on the slide) on the Nexus One, the screen resolution, the screen size is bigger, the software support on the nexus one is better, etc. The only downside to the Nexus would be all about personal preference. The myTouch Slide has a physical keyboard, the Nexus One does not have a physical keyboard. The myTouch Slide comes exclusively with Espresso sense, the Nexus One does not unless you root the phone and put the rom onto it. The Nexus One should be getting Gingerbread 2.3 very shortly while we're still on Android 2.1. Overall the Nexus One in my opinion is a better phone, but if you just want a simple user friendly experience then I'd say stay with the Slide, if you're into rooting and flashing millions of roms then I'd say Nexus One mainly because of the processor and dev support/google support. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY CAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF A NEXUS ONE.
