Sim toolkit

Hello,

Please, add support STK service (SIM ToolKit) at OS Windows Phone. This (STK) very important function in phone (smartphone). Many and many users , which uses additional functions from SIM-menu. STK has been deployed by many mobile operators around the world for many applications, often where a menu-based approach is required, such as Mobile Banking and content browsing. Other mobile platform already have access for SIM-menu functionally. Windows Phone MUST HAVE support STK for be going on well. Please, please add support STK.

Regards,
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
There is an official feature suggestion site for Windows Phone, you may want to sign in there and add some votes for the STK feature.

More xbox integration

After nearly 2 weeks into my WP7 experience (well, with my own phone), it keeps getting better and better. Check this out.:D

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1213956p1.html
[Windows Phone 7 General] asuradaMobile:
nice op, that's interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trapano15:
But only 2g?

I appreciate this OS.

I want know why is impossible to set connection only on GPRS!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] OrangeTang:
I downloaded it, My only complaint is that it cant turn my xbox on, but i know thats most likely a physical limitation. Everything else works amazingly well, it even works over 3G data!
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I believe WP7.5 already has this. My O2 phone has a SIM menu for checking credit, dialing voicemail, backing up contacts etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otherworld:
It does - but the mobile network has to supply an app to use it - have a look at : http://dennisdel.com/blog/sim-toolkit-official-app-available-in-the-windows-phone-mango-emulator-image

I've seen such apps on Titans and Lumia 800s
[Windows Phone 7 General] weide43:
Don't forget Skype

MS will release it soon
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Does anyone know if Tango is confirmed update in Jan/Feb 2012? or Is Apollo the only next update in 3rd Quarter of 2012?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Tango has never officially been confirmed by Microsoft but it's pretty certain that it exists. Not much is rumored about it other than adding support for LTE though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Thanks!

so if one has 7740 update, then that's as good as Mango WP7.5 gets right? The rest has to be waiting period till 2012 some time after June or July?

That's a little lazy update schedule isn't it? Ah well, let's play with the phone till then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
Not necessarily. While Microsoft's track record says that we probably won't see anything until "Tango," it is entirely possible that they may have another update in the pipeline before Tango. I'm thinking the most likely possibility at this point might be an interim fix to take care of the "Messaging Hub vulnerability."
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
And hopefully a fix for the annoying disappearing keyboard bug.
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
Agreed. It didn't bother me when it started a few months ago, but my patience has grown thin and it has started happening more frequently. It has been 3 months since Mango deployed and nothing has been fixed in the US, including the Exchange 2003 reply bug.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Exchange 2003 fix has already been rolled out here. so your Mango 7720 will become 7740 once you get that fix. However yes keyboard disappearance and messaging hub issue were two big ones in my opinion. Ofcourse Tango, Apollo etc can bring new functions but regular updates fixing small bugs/issues with current functions will make me admire the effort behind this. Microsoft does have this track record of giving something spanking new and then after a while being bored with it.I hope WP isn't one of those, I am in love with this thing! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasonkruys:
His frustration is valid, last I heard is that NONE of the US operators are rolling out 7740. Ever. Annoying for me, as I have a T-Mobile US HD7 so will likely never see that update!
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
You can push the update to your phone via "cab sender". It is very simple, and is the same as if your operator enabled it for you
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
do you need unlocked phone for that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
It's looking like it. This is what Microsoft's Update History page says (bold added by me for emphasis):
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Well, Tango should be out sometime in Q1 2012 since it'll be necessary for the roll out of Nokia's phones in the US. My guess is we'll get details on the update at CES in January and a roll out in March.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Linda7463:
Thanks. I will edit the post with any information I receive. I would like to avoid workarounds and hacks. I am not sure how to handle 3rd party apps either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sp_sheffield:
Any one knows, whan 7740 will avalible for LG Quantum ?

* Bu the way, after mango will be tango and apollo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
Bell, TNZ, Sasktel all have 7740, only telstra and ATT don't. just push the cab to your phone yourself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJSave:
I wonder if Georgian language support is planned in Tango?

anyone have any info about future lang support?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cdpoole:
I would love to see remote functionality integrated into zune for wp7 and the desktop client. Much like apple's airplay remote function (where you can select the song from your phone). Any Idea if this is coming down the pipe?
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
It exists, to a degree, with the Xbox Companion app. You can search content that is in the Zune Marketplace and use the phone to have the Xbox play it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] antaed:
@OP

If I may, I would also like to contribute to your thread :)

- please update the user request link with this one:

[Windows Phone 7 General] berberr:
Waiting for its release :o
[Windows Phone 7 General] super.flow:
Did MS announce anything official about the release date jet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] CADude:
No. You need to be patient and just bookmark a reputable WP site and keep checking that instead of asking a forum for something you can look up for yourself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amritpal2489:
no official statement yet
[Windows Phone 7 General] hazuki_119:
good

HOpe coming soon!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N3croman:
Just a note - one Nokia representative form Czech Republic mentioned like two weeks ago that "minor update for WP7 (Tango?) is coming in Jan/Feb 2012 together with Skype and another major update is planned for the second half of 2012 (Apollo?)" I've also asked him "can we expect any Nokia Windows Phone with front facing camera" and he said "yes, but I can't say more about when or what it will be" :)

He also mentioned something about "Chassis A, B and C" - could it be current chassis, low-end chassis (Tango?) and high-end (Apollo?)

Anyway can't wait for the Nokia announcement in Las Vegas in January :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] butch_bs:
Any idea is there "arrow keys" for navigating, especially intext navigation. Will they be add in next updates?
[Windows Phone 7 General] amritpal2489:
Arrow keys seem to be a good addition to VKB in landscape mode

MS should really implement it
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Do we really need arrow keys when on long pressing the text box a nice cursor jumps up that can be placed wherever we want? The keyboard stays less cluttered in my opinion without such keys - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/keyboard-tips.aspx bottom of the page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
Agreed. Though a tab key would be nice. Some apps have text boxes that get covered by the software keyboard and it would be faster than using the Back key, scrolling the page down, then tapping the next text box.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
There's no need to use the back key. You can always scroll pages up and down, even with the keyboard visible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] steve10:
Not always. If I remember right, the Foursquare app has this problem. The page doesn't scroll far enough down even when the keyboard is up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Yeah I agree on that too. Tab key would be helpful. Or even making current shift and caps key more functional in terms of two quick taps = tab. Mostly browsing is flawless. But certain apps that don't have scrollable window and have boxes way deep down, need to un-launch keyboard and then re-launch it. For me even Titan's huge screen isn't enough at times! But it's such a small thing, I've adapted quite quickly to that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I rather have developers publish their apps coded properly than having an additional key that practically has no real use. ;) But I get your point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I am getting a feeling that the developers on WP7 are many those who just started coding for free Samsung Focus, Nokia Lumia or HTC Radar ;)

Having said that, even Microsoft can't get some of their apps right - so all in all, new platform, they will learn etc goes back in circle.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slick13:
Hmm, i wish the default facebook hub would let you access groups, and more feature of facebook such as seeing who liked something, clicking on and viewing walls of people who aren't friends, the inbox, tagging videos, etc.

also, the browser needs a better way of closing tabs its pretty annoying having to push the three buttons then on tab then on an x.

It would be cool if it had a built in weather app :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I think there are limited things facebook lets other to use anyway. So direct integration can become tricky after a point.

I hope, my hungarian unbranded samsung omnia 7 get the upates too.

Updates

Hi! I'm moving to WP7 soon (just ordered my HD7) and I wonder what happens when Microsoft rolls out an update.

Do all the WP phones get updated?

At the same time (days difference)?

Or I may be lucky if HTC decides to update and when? I come from Android so I'm used to probably not see the update ever or a year later.

Thank you

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:
ATM all Windows Phones get updated. And at the same time on most cases ( days or a week or so difference depending on carrier rollout)
[Windows Phone 7 General] shenchuo:
thanks, i am thinking to buy it.http://711.la/ghmcx

[Windows Phone 7 General] novinsab:
I am right now updating my Samsung Focus (Firmware Rogers - Canada) to 8107. I waited till date for the official update but it seems nothing came from the carrier. Usually I never get the updates from Rogers themselves but I got 7740 as a Samsung Update so I guess Samsung Still hasnt implemented this update.

I will report with the results soon.

BEWARE: Progress Bar does actually take about 10 min to appear during the update process with Send Can Update procedure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jrdatrackstar:
I installed 8107 on my HTC Radar and am noticing no differences. My settings say 8107, and nothing is broken or wrong with my phone and everything works as before, but I only clicked "Send Cab to device" once. I hear of all these people talking about having to install language packs, but I only clicked update once and it installed to 8107. I came from 7720.

Again, maybe I didn't install it right, but nothing is different for me (both good and bad wise).
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
You won't see it now. By not updating your language packs, you are sort of harming your future updates. If you don't have all your languages updated, then Zune won't recognise new updates on your phone. So when Tango starts rolling, you might never see a pop-up!
[Windows Phone 7 General] All-Star:
I have a question:

I have a LG E900 with 7740 no branding using German o2 Card.

I connected my phone with Zune and started searching for updates , but it tells me , that i have already the newest version.

Does this Update come to E900 or only E906 ?

I know that tethering is only available on branded Roms like Vodafone DE,... etc.

Maybe any Trick with MFG Manager for using Tethering for e.g i'm out with my friends and someone don't have internet flatrate , so i share him my internet via Internet Sharing/tethering ? It its possible ? or only Tethering via USB for e.g notebooks or computers.

And the last question.

Someone maybe know how to activate a Data Traffic caller? I have 1gig of internet each month and i want to know how much traffic i do each month and how much i still have there. On my old iphone 3G , it was under Settings , but on my E900 can't find it any where ? Maybe there is an app for that?!

My device is MFG unlocked and i can deploy xaps.

Thanks in advance

[Windows Phone 7 General] jrdatrackstar:
I installed it with the language packs. I downloaded each individually and put the in the same folder as the cab sender and the 7740 and 8107 update. I was just saying I didn't have to take multiple steps to install 8107 like people are making it sound like they had to do. All I had to do was hit Send to Device and it installed. I didn't have to install one language at a time or anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Oh did you not have to do it in at least 2 steps?

That's how I did mine. I updated first to 8107. Then deleted it. Put all languages in the folder and ran the cab sender again. - I did get an error after I finished 8107 though. I ignored it, still did rest of the cabs anyway. Got the update. Only time will tell how messed up my Titan is ;)

Out of interest, how many langs did you update do you remember?

I really hope this update does something to correct the way webpages are formatted. The unlegible text while trying to browse is ridiculous. I have this huge screen and yet when zoomed out I cant read the text? I hate having to go back to my i4 but until browsing is corrected I have no choice I need a browser that works and as is WP7 IE is horrid!
[Windows Phone 7 General] mwako:
Lol yup. And it annoys me I'm closing pages using the tabs for some reason, so there is always one blank page left when i hit the back button, Is there no "close" function O.o or am i missing it ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] yly3:
No offence, but what are you talking about? Mine may take some time (maximum 2-3 sec) to make the text fully clean when I fully zoom but I haven't experienced any of these issues. The speed is amazing aswell :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
LOL:rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
Load a forum and zoom all the way out while holding the phone vertical text is not legible. At least it isn't on my LG Optimus. If you are saying your device doesn't format incorrectly what device? And why does my Optimus not format correctly? All of the new WP7 devices have the same resolution, no?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
I just read your post with my HD7 zoomed out all the way and every bit of text is clears as day. Try again maybe?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
Everything? Even the text on the bottom under tags? Maybe its my screen size, 3.8 vs your 4.3 then. I didn't think would matter since the resolution is the same.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
the tags aren't completely legible but I can tell what they say. Other than that, I can read posts perfectly fine. The letters are actually pretty big.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yly3:
Yes! Everything, I will try to make a short video out of it. Having an HD7. It really is a joy
[Windows Phone 7 General] mr mystery:
Thanks, I'll chaulk it up to screen size then. It irritates me because my 3.5' i4 text is never illegible, and my 3.8' Optimus is.

[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
If nothing works, I would suggest, you might still be under manufacturer's warranty (are you?) If yes, that is your best bet!

However, never seen any case like this on the XDA so not much things to suggest. But make a thread in Q&A WP7 section, write all the details you can to explain what's happened so far - few pics might help other to see what you are seeing as well and hopefully someone will be able to suggest something very simple that will bring you back on track!

There never will be a mass sorage mode.

Hello, guys

I just wanted to adress, that there NEVER will be a mass storage mode for WP7.

And it's better that way, because Microsoft is making sure, that you don't modifiy the Software, that's on the phone.

Despite the fact that WP locks the SD Card, the second it gets installed.... :p

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

To make this easy, just goto C:\Program Files\Zune\

And click on WPSupporttool.exe

And restore using that...

If that doesn't work, then Use CMD... I you want me to give a tutorial on that, just message me ^^

Thanks a lot for a great and informative thread!

I'm a new owner of a Lumia 800 that I'm very found of. Previous devices have been iPhone 4, Nokia E72 and (believe it or not) HTC Touch Diamond. The last one ended, after a short flight, in a wall... :-)

As I did on iPhone, I'm missing the smart dialer function. How certain is the knowledge of this list to be "official"? Has microsoft released any official list like that?

For me at least System wide file manager seems more like a rumour then possible upcoming features.

By the way: system wide search just like in iPhone and Windows 7 would be really nice! I've voted for all theese three in the suggestion box...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I owned a Touch Pro. I sold it instead of threw it into a wall. :D

This is just a list of features that may be found in other phones. This is not a list of upcoming features. System wide file manager is a feature found in some smartphones that to this date does not exist in Windows Phone. Will it ever be added? Who knows for sure, but it seems unlikely right now. Bluetooth file transfer, and Adobe Flash are two more features I would not hold my breath for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Regarding Flash

Especially since alot of Flash can be converted automatically to HTML5

http://www.flash-to-html5.net/?gclid=COfR3LK39q0CFQWFQAodpn-kug

And here is using Adobe tools: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_How_to_convert_Flash_files_into_HTML5-18667.html

And commentary on it: http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/adobe-wallaby/

Adobe provides the tool and it is basically a drag and drop process to convert flash to HTML5, so there is no excuse for a website not to convert.

Wp7 is a good choice for twitter and facebook?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pexer-abc:
Yes. I'm using both of them and the integration of different information sources like FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, Live and so on is outstandning on WP.

I'm comparing with iOS and WP stands out in this point of view.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
The integration with Facbook is what I miss the most about Windows Phone 7, since work forced me into an iPhone 4S which uses a Micro SIM card instead of a standard SIM card. Looking to get an adaptor so that I can switch between both phones, expecially once Apollo comes. Looking forward to seeing how they integrate Skype.

It would be excellent if it offers real skype calling over data.
