[Windows Phone 7 General] Johny1969:
Is there really a filter in there? The 90% of the apps in market are really a bunch of junk, yesterday I saw a 400 bucks app that someone did for fun... (not much fun if someone double click the buy button).

I mean is microsoft really fitering the apps for wp7 or they just want to increase the ammount of apps asap?

When are the good apps (like in windows mobile 6) coming?

When we will able to have some serious apps for buy? I speak about GPS navs, configuration tools for connections, tethering apps, voip and all the great stuff that we had on windows mobile etc...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
No, you are not dreaming.

They are adding 5 new 'Calculate the Tips' software every week.

Really nice, isn't it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Infuriated-Germ:
No it's not just you ... there is alot of rubbish out there but to be fair ... I wouldn't say 90%. There are a few decent bit.

I was expecting this and imagine it will only get better as MS have given this OS some motherly love as opposed to WM
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Nice. So we can expect some good 'Fart' applications in the near future ?

;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
no offense, but how many apps in the apple market or android market are actually any good??? Not very many.

1. HTC has a connections config app, if you didn't buy an htc phone then shame on you. ;)

2. There is a voip app in the marketplace, someone else was talking about it.

3. You do know the OS is less than a month old right???
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
OK, I have used the Palm market place, the Itunes app store, the android market and the windows market and I have found that in all cases 90% of the apps are rubbish or variations on a theme (tip calculators for the numerically challenged etc.). I am waiting for only 1 app which has been promised - Kindle!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
That's what makes Apple's app store so laughable. They occasionally announce that there's a bazillion or so apps in their store but 98% of them are rubbish. I suspect the WP7 market will most likely mirror that and it probably should. The alternative is to become Apple and turn things down because "there's too many of those" or "there's no good reason for this" or the worst, no reason at all. Where Apple's store really fails is their rating system. If Microsoft can identify and correct that weakness they'll definitely have an upper hand.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Its the same in every market. No matter where you go there will be junk.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
How do you expect to see configuration tweaking apps for the OS that has been locked down like a Ft. Knox?

BTW, happy anniversary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ratchetjaw:
Exactly what is the deal with that? That is crazy. Cant even get a decent checkbook app
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reihnold:
Another example are currency converters. The funny thing is that I still have to find one that works correctly with German localization...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aturayd:
I just need a good IM app and the Kindle app and im set. Hopefully the IM app supports multiple logins on all platforms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Isn't it the developers spewing out these applications that are to blame? If someone is so foolish as to pay a $99 fee only to produce a fart application at the end of it, why is it MS's fault? If they rejected the devs work then people would moan that MS is censoring people, big brother, etc. Just let market forces play their part, crap will sink and quality applications will rise by word of mouth and reviews by users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
They produce the fart app for you in order to get back that 99 dollars as soon as possible.

Do you think real developers do not want to create good apps? They just need to be interested in what the users want and what they can accomplished with the SDK provided by the manufacturer to satisfy the users' wants.

I suggest for you guys to create a thread, and possibly stick it, on what you want on your device, and get a feedback from developers how easy or difficult it is going to be to implement it,
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
So are you saying the Android market isn't full of junk? When I perused the Android market, I say 90% filler, including sex app after sex app. And I saw personal quote apps a plenty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Stop bringing Android, no need to stir it this way, the thread is about WP7 market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
it goes like this...eventually as the good developers port their apps over to WP7, and the so-so developers get better as they become accustomed to the platform,...the apps on the market will get better. And those apps that are "rubbish" will eventually fade away.

And yes, if you think the WP7 market place is rubbish, there's no doubt that all that rubbish is on every other phone's market place as well...just more of it
[Windows Phone 7 General] itchison:
lol, I registered to answer this question.

Alot of people are correct in this thread.. Developers are just try to quickly recoup their $99 investment. There is some low lying fruit that can quickly make a buck in a marketplace that has relatively no competition. Flashlights / farts / quotes / bartenders / etc are very easy to make and are a good introduction to new wp7 developers.

What I really came here to say though, is that there is a BIG onus on US to review and rate these apps. We should rate and review every single app we use. Even if you give it a low rating it will push apps that noone even bought lower on the list. I've seen a few free apps with 0 reviews.. this should not happen.

I have an app in development that should be above mediocre, but it takes time and I only got my device for testing 2 days ago. So be patient, we're churning them out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Thank you for this bit of reminder. Even when I was in Android, I made good use of the rating system...in WinMo on the HD2 also...and I most of the time forgot to rate them myself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
All these app stores, Apple, Android and Microsoft's, suffer the same problem that there's a glut of garbage in them. I can't speak for Android's as I haven't used it in ages but the problem with Apple's is their lousy rating and review system and poor (if any) filtering. I suspect the Apple and Android stores will probably always look like the software version of a garage sale but my hope is that Microsoft identifies and comes up with a good solution to the problem. Being able to sort based on units sold over a period of time, for example, would cause the real trash to immediately sink to the bottom and out of sight regardless of rating. A great fart board is still a fart board, for example, and how many of any individual app is going to be sold? Out of sight, out of mind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
By the way, regarding the rating of Apps on the WP7 Marketplace, is it normal that the apps that appear in the "Popular" Section have often a very bad rating from users ? ? ?

With such a biaised rating system I'm not sure we will easily distinguish the good programs from the rubbish ones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
I would say Blackberry App World have the lowest percentage of crap. Android the highest percentage of crap by far. iPhone has the highest number of quality apps.

I'm very happy with the marketplace. I really like the Zune 4.7 PC software. Microsoft have done an excellent job with the devloper tools. We are seeing a steady stream of apps that will turn into a flood. I'd like to see Bloomberg and the EA Sports sims.

They have taken the best parts of the iPhone and Android and gelled it together. So we get beautiful standardised software that just works. We get immediate sotware updates. We all use the same desktop media player/jukebox/syncing software. We get the same powerful hardware (other than screen size and technology and built in keyboard).

But at the same time we get a large range of handsets across all networks. And we get a less censored appstore but not anarchy.

We will get all the non essential stuff over the next 12 months. The only thing that bothers me is the metro UI. I like it but I want it be scaled down a bit. I think there is too much wasted space and too much scrolling within apps. I think we should be able to jump to any part of the panaramic view from the first screen of the app. The way you can in the Facebook app. Otherwise we have to flick and flick to get where we want to go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The biggest and most influential obstacle to doing anything right on any system is the whiners and moaners. When Apple tries to do right, there are crapload of negative attitudes towards them, and those attitudes come mostly from lousy app makers. They will stop at absolutely nothing to either force a company to do things their way or bring them down.

I see no chance for MS to withstand such a barrage of negativity by the development community, let alone all the sheep (ignorant, mindless app customers) they manipulate into following them.

I hope MS will maintain quality. Beyond that, who knows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Popularity and rating are different things. An app is popular when a lot of people download and buy it. They may be very unhappy about it, or happy but it may be total crap nevertheless, or whatever. It can still be popular.

It seems like a good idea to factor in ratings, but it's not so easy. Ratings are meaningful only after lots of people leave them, so statistics begin to work. If you have only five people who rated an app, you don't have enough information to move it up or down any lists.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
Apple has an excellent track record of shooting itself in the foot, Google Voice and Flash are probably the two best examples. The ability to manipulate ratings are why they should serve as part of the story and maybe not even a large part. Hard numbers such as downloads, trys versus buys and so on should be incorporated and users should have the ability to search, sort and filter based on those hard values. As long as Microsoft maintains the attitude of "we don't make up facts" there isn't much anyone can say.

Hence why I'd like to see downloads over a period of time, trys versus buys and so on. If 5 people downloaded an app and rated it five stars, it's still not going to do as well as something (in the same genre) that was downloaded 5000 times and got 3 1/2 stars and that isn't going to do as well as something that was downloaded 1000 times, got 3 1/2 stars but of the 1000 people who hit "Try", 900 later paid for it (this is just off the top of my head, no one even DARE hold me to these numbers!). Ratings are subjective, open to manipulation and probably shouldn't be taken that seriously. In addition, when you have X people and Y fart apps, how many of those apps are going to be downloaded? How many will be downloaded more than once or twice? Probably not many. Eventually, through a combination of download facts and ratings, the least value for the money will drop out of sight and that will be that.

In addition to all of the above, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea that if an app hasn't been purchased or downloaded (if it's free) within a certain period of time, it's removed from the store. When a lousy app hasn't even been touched in three months, what's the purpose of leaving it there? The developer got a fair shake and failed, get rid of it. That would certainly be better than Apple's approach of "There's too much of that already, denied" or leaving junk there forever so they can say "We have a BAZILLION apps!" to everyone's amusement. As long as Microsoft is fair and consistant, two places where Apple has repeatedly failed, subpar developers can complain all they'd like but those complaints will fall on deaf ears.

Hi guys! Please help me!!!

I just flashed new rom and radio... everything was good untill i restart my device.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananacommando:
Hey guys, first time poster here but been lurking for a while. Need to say a big thanks for all the great work going on here.

Some background before getting to my questions:

I bought my phone while travelling on business in Sri Lanka, I believe the phone is an Indian version. The firmware it is running is DDJG4 (not sure what other info I should be including here). I am heading back to the UK next week and want to upgrade to the latest official Froyo, preferably a EU/UK version.

So, my question(s) are:

1) What version should I be looking? I have had a look around the forums and it seems the XEU variant is what I need, is this correct?

2) I have also seen that I may need to take modem firmware (?) or other regional hardware config issues into consideration when changing firmware region, what's the story with this?

3) I have been thinking about using Kies to upgrade to the latest XEU firmware using the registry hacks (ie changing the ProductCode and HIDSWVER). While I am tech savvy and have looked at the appropriate threads about using odin etc to upgrade, but honestly I don't have time for that kind of thing anymore. My question regarding Kies is: obviously I would put XEU as the ProductCode, but what would I need to put as the HIDSWVER?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananacommando:
can anyone shed some light?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
This morning I fired up the new Google Translate app and it informed me that I was running a "stale text to speech library that was superseded and may cause problems with apps that use it".

It then offered me the option of installing TTS Library Extended, which I did. So far the only thing I've noticed is keyboard lag within Tapatalk has completely disappeared, which may mean it will remove other instances of lagging.

Anyone else have a similar experience or know which apps are affected?
[HD7 General] zipxavier:
For upgrades and new contracts you can grab it for only 49.99 here. Best price I've seen yet.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Doesnt work well, makes you sign up for a plan along with it, so for those who are currently with Tmobile and able to renew our contract and want to keep our current plan which is not listed at the three they offer, not a good deal.
[Flipout and Charm General] TheUnknownOne:
Does anyone else have problems with gps. I have installed GPS test and sometimes I find 5 or 6 sattelites but it still says in use 0. When I go into an app that finds the location it always says location unavailable.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
I do get GPS location sometimes. But I did experience what you describe.

Using Tricorder I could see ~5 satellites, but no location showed up, and mapping programs, such as MapDroyd didn't know where I was.

But maybe it is possible to detect 5 satellites, but not have a good enough signal to find your location?
[Flipout and Charm General] TheUnknownOne:
So are you saying that the majortiy of the time you do not get a location
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Sorry, I was very unclear. The majority of the time I do get a signal. When on a moving train, away from the window, I sometimes don't get it, even if I can detect 5 sats ;)
[Flipout and Charm General] yelo3:
I think I also have a similar problem: to get my current locatiom when I'm in my car (I use Sygic Mobile Maps 10) it takes lots of minutes!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dacqueries:
Anyone know where I can find a 2.2 ROM that will work with Odin?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Solved: See post #4

Obviously for those with a modded kernel and broken MAC.

If we knew the real MAC address for the specific device, couldn't we set the module's MAC to our real one?

Or just a MAC spoofer? But more like an un-spoofer.. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
Im looking for the answer as well...

I have been through every oc kernel so far, only stock/insmod seems to keep the mac addy. This might be the best option until a proper solution is found, if anyone has an idea on how to insmod on startup that would be good.

I also tried ipconfig eth0 hw ether, but got an invalid argument.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Can't you setup a script that insmod's and set that up to run on startup?

I'm sure there is somewhere in the ROM where a script can be added for it to run on boot, or at least a boot time Android one...

init.rc perhaps?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
Okay i found it... there is a file called /bootcomplete.rc that calls

/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

so, on stock kernel with oc-dz.ko:

# cd /system/etc/
# mkdir init.d
# cd init.d
# echo insmod /system/lib/modules/oc-dz.ko pll2_l_val=74 > overclock
# chmod 0755 overclock

will load the module at boot. wifi mac is correct
[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
Okay I've been using this for most of the day and just had a hard crash on level 99 of robo defence(F7U13!) Looking into it, it seems this kernel module only seems to step up from 700 straight to 1497! I'm disabling it for now.

Apparently cyanogen is quite a lot faster than the stock Sense, even without overclock. As soon as it hits RC2, I'm gonna give it a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
EDIT

Trying from a Terminal I get: "undable to chmod overclock: Read-only file system"

I tryed from ADB and all commands were accepted, file was created and chmod processed, but after reboot the OC module is not loaded

What ROM are your using ??
[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
Obviously you should remount your system partition rw :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
OMFG I really need to sleep a little :D

What ROM are you using ?? Have you changed the Kernel ??
[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
at the time i was using stock.. currently using virtuous from rom manager
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
I've been strugglin with that command line for days, trying to find a way t make it stick from boot (and not typing it from a console), I finaly made it today via updater script (update.zip).

I also included the stock radio module and the stock kernel (rooted) to the package, so it can serve as a "rescue kit" for other users stuck with the MAC WiFi shizz. I shared it @ devs forum.
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
Man is this the stupidest problem ever...

The good news: I finally got my DHD yesterday...

The bad news: The battery cover is as bad as I've been hearing. For some reason I couldn't put it back on. So I pushed the Battery as far in as I could in order to put the cover on. The phone works great, but now the battery is stuck inside and won't slide out by itself and I don't know how to take it out :confused:

Please Help... :(
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Put your fingers flat on the table, same width as the battery door.

Rest the DHD on your fingers (so that the battery door is facing the table.

Raise the DHD an inch or two and bring it down on your fingers (not so hard that it hurts).

Keep doing this, the battery will work its way free and drop onto the table.

I'll add a pic in a sec...
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
Thanks James, this definitely sounds very doable; I'm giving it a try now!
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
The battery has moved about half an inch now!! This is working :) *jumping up and down with joy*

I got the battery out!! Why does everyone else's battery just seem to slide out by itself? I thought it was because I pushed it too far in, but even when the battery is half way out, I still have to pull it out with some effort...

Maybe my phone just has a lot of "friction"? When I watch those YouTube videos, everyone seems to glide their fingers smoothly across the screen, but when I do it, it feels very fricative...do you guys put on hand lotion or something...:confused:
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Do not press the screen too much, only a slightest touch is needed. Also if you have moist hands, it makes swiping the screen harder.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Probably because its a new phone. You have to play with it a little bit until the oil from your skin lubes up the screen. Then its all slidey slides.
[Desire HD General] blooblah:
I had a similar problem with my first DHD... part of the the plastic wrapper around the battery had folded back on itself along the forward edge of the battery. That caused the battery to get wedged inside. A little trimming of the plastic wrapper with a craft knife fixed it... YMMV
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
you sure you didnt put it back in upside down or something?
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
I'm pretty I didn't because the phone was working :D but seriously I could totally go without the cover; the battery really gets stuck in there when it's inside!
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
No you can't - the WiFi/BT antenna is in that cover ;).
[Desire HD General] vansmuk:
would've given you some extra grip tho ;)

Now seriously, if when u look at ur battery there's no visible flaws that u can safely and/or easily remove and if your screen keeps giving you the finger in my opinion you should return it for a replacement. There's been enough faulty hardware cases, the folks at HTC know the drill by now. If that's not an option, sell it on ebay ( or your local online market ) and grab a new one;]
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
And I was wondering the whole time why that piece of plastic would cost 19 Euros!:eek:

AWWW it's just my stupid, clumsy fingers are still trying to learn how to swipe across the screen...think I'm getting a hang of it now :D ...luckily no major flaws with my DHD so far *knock on wood*
[Desire HD General] vansmuk:
Join the club :) and stay in
