Are you talking about the one that came with the evo? Where the screen looks like a flashlight and you tap it to make the back leds brighten up?

naw, its called led desire light. has morse code and sos plus led flashlight
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franklin01:
Hi,

Is it possible to use Galaxy s wireless adaptater to inject packets using backtrack or aircrack-ng?

The real question is can I use my phone to crack my wep/wpa wireless key using backtrack 4 or aircrack-ng?

Wireless adaptater needs to support injection packets and need to be supported by linux/windows.

If everything is ok, then it could be possible to crack wep/wpa using phone, connected as modem usb, with wifi turned on to sniff and inject.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
Erm, you cannot run BackTrack on your 'phone. Its a x86 distribution based on Slax (I think).

You could try statically cross-compiling the suite of programme that aircrack uses for ARM architecture, but you have to check that the wireless module on Android support the features used for packet injection. I don't know if the SGS drivers do, nor even the wireless radio hardware does. Source & instructions are available from here:-

Hi,

Does installing ADW.Launcher or Launcher Pro change the TouchWiz lockscreen? I like the standard Android lock screen over the ordinary TouchWiz lock screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VibrantOwnr:
widget locker off of the market can do this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Guiso0623:
try lockbot off the market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WinterAce:
Okay, I'll try them as soon as I get my phone. Thanks.

But doesn't LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher change the lock screen too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alk1s:
hello, i've got the htc magic rooted 2.1(htc legend version), and i tried to restore factory defaults and then appeared a lot of options which i didn't know which to choose. so the results, can't login again to my phone, it stays in the HTC screen!

any idea? or any possibility to unroot?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
wsantiagow, your list is interesting and I agree with the vast majority of your points.

Especially this one:

But I think most of them are on the way.... (I hope so)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
Mine works just fine. If you hit the search button in the People Hub you have an option to search the Exchange server. The same option appears when you're addressing an email message. We use Exchange 2007. Maybe it's 2003 that doesn't support it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
No 2003 does not support it. Only 2007 and 2010 does.

[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Visual voicemail as #1 missing feature? Really? What does it even do? I have an iPhone 4 at this time, and don't notice anything special about voicemail here. Am I stupid or what?
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
WiKi - "Visual voicemail is voice mail with a visual interface. Such an interface presents a list of messages for playback and may include a transcript of each message."

You may not notice anything special about it but try having a telephone that does not support it and you are trying to find a message from 100 voicemails. Non visual voicemail phones have to dial a number to get your messages and go one by one to find the one you are looking for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Funny how we survived before visual voicemail was available...
[Windows Phone 7 General] StrykerGT:
Yeah and it's even funnier how we survived before smartphones were available...

Thanks to the op for post this here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
I believe here in the US visual voicemail is a carrier feature. T Mobile has it and my wife and I hated it. Some people love it, but we are not two of them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hicube:
I'm on T-Mobile. How do you get visual voice mail?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Maybe it is a carrier feature because I don't have anything of the sort on my iPhone here. I can get a text message notifying me about who just left a voicemail and a number to tap and listen to the thing. Can't imagine when this wouldn't be enough. Rarely even have voicemail on - if I'm not available people text me, send emails, or use a gazillion of other methods to keep in touch.

Guess the love for answering machines is just a local US thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StrykerGT:
Are Windows phones 7 right now with this feature on other carriers? EU or in the US? If that true then I'll change the list and put the blame on AT&T. I just hate to have to dial a telephone number hear a recorded message with options, press key to hear the voicemail in sequencial order press more keys to delete o hear it again. This is ridiculous, its the same method of any cheap flip phone out there since the last 15 years. AT&T support this on the iPhone since day one so I don't see why they won't allow it for this telephones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StrykerGT:
On the contrary, I hate them, that is why I don't want to go through one everytime I get a message. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] chaoscentral:
Should be preloaded on your HD2 if you still have the stock rom, otherwise you need to find a cab for Windows Mobile, however if you have Android on your HD2, then it should be in the market place under Visual Voicemail, has a magenta colored logo
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Just turn voicemail off completely then. :-)

Trust me, your life will only be better. Those who really need to tell you something or have you call back will easily find a way to communicate. Those who just waste your time won't do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
$2.99 a month for this on Vzw ? I guess I'll stick with the old method.

After insurance, Data, text messages, taxes and all the other crap vzw charges me with...
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
I like my Focus but the iPhone 4 kicks it ass in every way except reception. I can't imagine Microsoft is sitting on it's collective hands doing nothing and hopefully there's an upgrade that's pretty inclusive of everything you've mentioned, hopefully it's soon and hopefully we don't get jerked around by the carriers again, as usual. Patience is a virtue, especially when you own the latest and barest. :-) That having been said, however, with a little more than 2 weeks left to evaluate the Focus, I think I'm keeping it and selling the iPhone, the main reason being potential. The iPhone is close to running out of steam while WP7 has a huge amount of potential.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TomH123:
Why would you even want to save 100 voicemails? Listen to voice mail......delete voice mail.

[Windows Phone 7 General] hicube:
I am using both. What is the name of the file for Windows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
visual voicemail has been broken on t-mobile for winmo phones for about 3 weeks now. They say they are working on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmegalodon:
Ok, so its evident that some need voicemail and others don't see it as important. Or don't understand how one may view it as both important and entirely necessary. If YOU don't need VM then that is awesome. But voicemail is important for some of us and VVM is KEY. Google Voice in itself is huge with how it handles VM's.

If you're the type of person that deletes every voice mail after listening, or the person saying "if it's important they'll call you back and make contact" than you probably don't fall into the power VM users. That's fine. But for the rest of us? That's an extremely useful, albeit minor for some, feature. Acting like someone is stupid for asking for this is hilariously retarded.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
I will say even with these shortcomings right out of the box, Windows Phone 7 has tremendous potential. I am sure we will get an update that will address some of these issues but not all in the first update (IMO). I have owned Android, iPhone, Blackberry, WinMo 6xxx, and now WP7 and I will say, "I'm loving me Windows Phone 7":D.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
My first 10 days have been great. It's my first smart phone, and I don't use it for work really. Though I have been using it a lot at work, :D .

I'm not really a power user, though I do like to tinker and experiment; and having the full power of the hardware usable is important to me. The phone works very well with my lifestyle. Single father, so the Netflix subscription now extends to the long car drives with my daughter; same for my Zune & Last.FM. I knew buying the phone on day one wasn't going to give me the experience Microsoft or myself wants me to have. Microsoft proved to me through their commitment with Xbox that when they start throwing billions $$$ for advertising, that they are in it for the long haul. Through acquaintances working for Microsoft I hear 2nd week of Jan. for first major update, and first week of Feb. for Flash 10.1. I'm going to hold off any major criticism till then. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
Coming into this thread I expected a brief synopsis of what your 10 days was like. You know, what WP7 is good at as well as what it lacks in story form, not just a list of things you think it needs to fix.

Are you saying there is nothing good?
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Why not just use Google Voice. There are a couple of apps for WP7 and it works. I was using it, but currently I'm just using the old-fashioned dial-in VM. You can also have your messages transcribed into text with GV.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StrykerGT:
I not saying that there is nothing good, if that was the case I would of returned already and gone back to the iPhone 4. As I wrote on the last line of the thread " I see a lot of potential on the phone" But these are some of the things I think Microsoft needs to do in order for the telephone to be on par with the others.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
I understand that, but you're not really giving your thoughts on the phone other than what's missing.

What's an average day like with WP7? How long does the battery last? Do you find that the core components meet your needs on a daily basis? What about speed throughout the day? Does having multiple email accounts, text messages, and other notifications going off on a regular basis take its toll on the overall speed and usefulness of the device?

In other words, walk us through "a day in the life with WP7". Some of us are on Sprint and don't have a clue what it is like to go day-to-day with Microsoft's latest entry into the cell phone market. So, please, share!
[Windows Phone 7 General] StrykerGT:
It gets me through the day, no problem with the battery.

Basically yes but sadly there a key components that doesn't work as expected or missing. For example I can't access the list of corporate contacts (I know this only happens with Exchange 2003) and you can't create a separate group for this and the only solution is to have all of the contacts in one big list (Personal, Business, Vendors, etc.) so its a no-no. The other thing is for example, I get 5 voice mails, there is no way I can check them in the order I want. I have to call an answering machine if I want to hear lets say the third message I have to hear all of them in sequential order again. I know that for some people this is not important but in my case I need to simplify this becuase I receive lots of phone calls for technical support and I need to choose who to call first. (Maybe I'm use to the way the iPhone/Android does this.) Another thing is no VPN so I can't log in remotely to my office.

The phone UI is buttery smooth all the time. :D No slowdowns at all. I really like it.

I'm a SysAdmin for an engineering company and I need to give support to multiple offices, some in other states. I'm on the road a lot and I need to be constantly available and connected to give support to the company staff. (Email, remote desktop, etc.) So far apart for the negatives I really like the phone and I have plans to keep it, if future updates start resolving these issues this is going to be a dream platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
You've got a wrong device for corporate use.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
Thank you very much for your replies. I really appreciate it.

I especially like the news that there is no slow down with normal use! That is a major drag for me with WM 6.5. Every time an email or text message comes in there is a little hiccup in whatever I might be doing.

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Again, just use Google Voice and visual voicemail is all yours. You can even manage your messages on a regular PC. The Google Voice apps currently available on WP7 are just adequate, but they get the job done. I would say that GoVoice is the better GV app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TomH123:
Thank you for the explanation.

Sorry you were felt to be made stupid. Now calling someone retarded is just ignorant. Your post was pretty enlighting up until the last sentence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmegalodon:
Didn't say THEY were retarded, and I wasn't called stupid. People were getting on the poster talking of VVM and lame posts followed. Was merely sharing my opinion, and pointing out that VM is actually important for some of us; so thinking that its not important is rather retarded. Yes. Retarded responses were retarded. I get that people here are defending WP7 and yes it shows much promise. I've been intrigued and that's why I happen to be browsing the WP7 forms. Yet when someone mentions a shortcoming they gets flamed or insulted for merely pointing something out. Like the VVM, and apparently GVoice is available and handles this in some fashion, so looks like its less of a issue?

Anyway, yes some of the responses from the faithful, that I hqve seen, have been pretty stupid. And yes I know some folks troll the board. But I digress. Not here to hurt feelings.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
I should clarify we hated VVM because it was slow and didn't work properly (fast and easy). It was free for us through TMobile. Apparently two days after we turned it off it stopped working system wide. I remember the tech telling me it wasn't getting a lot of love so may be they are working on it.

-

More to thw point of the thread. I just played with a HD7 for about 30 minutes and the experience was great. It was by far the most intuitive, yet depthful mobile OS I have ever used. The unit felt just like an HD2 in my hands. The actions were blazing fast and responsive. Music sounded great. Videos and pictures were vivid. I connected my Plantronic 590 stereo headphones with ease and the system automatically made it stereo. I then started playing games and the urge to run out of the store with phone rushed up me. I handed the phone back and left. Wow!

-

I could see why the OP wouldn't be happy with some of the missing things as it is his business to use those features. Now hearing the Android fanboy working in the store admit he never played with it but knew any Android phone was better was really annoying. This mobile OS is the real thing. To see it work at such a high level from the start and knowing there is so much room for growth from MS and XDA makes me an ultra confident believer. I won't be biying one soon, but come August or so we'll have upgrades available and I can see two Windows Phone 7's replacing our Windows Mobiles. In fact, my kids can get our HD2's and they may have WP7 running on them also.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kindongo:
There are many missing features in WP7. I have been a WM fan for a lot years and I hate the Iphone, but after using WP7 I’m serius cosidering going with Android. How come there is no speed dial on this phone. No Categories within contacts, its just too many missing feutures that were a given in WM. I think that will return my Samsung Focus...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
bye bye now.

really though, why do you need speed dial when you can put a contact on the home page.

You did realize this is a 1.0 version OS that wasn't going to be 100% complete didn't you???
[Windows Phone 7 General] myRTTech:
As a business user, I would have to agree that there are a few annoyances with WP7. However, I can wait for much of what's on the poster's list, but a few very core features are necessary to make this phone "clear" through IT departments... I can't tell you how many emails I've had to send out in the past week with a "do not purchase" in regards to WP7. (I'm an Information Specialist for several state agencies and two of the largest hospitals here). Don't get me wrong, nearly every person I've talked to LOVES the phone, wants to purchase the phone and genuinely wants to see MS rip the industry a new one. I for one would love MS to do this. And yes, I personally own an iPhone. Yes I already have a Samsung Captivate. And by far, yes, my Samsung Focus WP7 is my absolute favorite.... BUT....

It is frustrating however, that if the success of WP7 was so incredibly important for MS, they should have included VPN - OR - at the very least support for CalDEV or subscribed folders for business users. This is the single reason, at least in my professional life, several clinics and agencies I work with are not purchasing the phone. That equals about 100 or so people who this week alone would have seriously considered adopting the Samsung Focus in their workplace.

I think we all agree this phone has some serious potential... unfortunately, potential does not equate to usability in the workplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
To be fair to Microsoft they said this was really geared to the standard consumer and not to the business consumer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] myRTTech:
@addicus, I completely agree with you. Personally and professionally, I LOVE Microsoft. I want them to succeed, and I do believe they have the best alternative against the iPhone. I can't tell you how fragmented my captivate feels, and how "raw" it feels, in comparison to such a polished UI. Yeah it's great to tinker with Android, drop in ROMs, tweak it and try all sorts of apps, but after a few days of doing so and after the excitement of tweaking wears off, I'm left with just a phone... an unreliable one at that. Trust me, I'm sad everytime a new client asks about my WP7, loves it to bits and pieces, but doesn't run out to go buy one because they need shared calendars. Just this one little thing. I'm fully aware that I can create individual gmail accounts or windows live accounts, then attach the phone to that particular calendar, but it brings with it so many problems from a workflow standpoint that I'd look inept for even bringing it up. It's fine for family (since I know my wife's passwords as well as the kids and then just uncheck sync email and contacts and leave the calendar synced)... but could you imagine giving your password to your peers at work in the hopes they won't "accidentally" check "sync email" to read everything you're sending and receiving? No way any client would go for that.

Needless to say, I love my WP7, and kudos to Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Are you still thinking?!

Speed dial is a must if you have 1500 or 2000 contacts.

You don't imagine pinning to the start 500 of them, do you?!

And once again, whichever version it is - it's officially released, no beta.

So people have right to moan. Especially now, 2010.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
you can also click people... then select the sqaure to do a quick jump to the first letter. or goto people, and hit search button, and search that way. yes, i know it's not smart dial, but it works just as well in my eyes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I've already run across 2 speed dial apps in the marketplace and I've only looked at the first 500 apps.....

Sorry, but I doubt you could remember 500 speed dial contacts anyways. You are not being very realistic.

"Let's see, was the wife speed dial 499 or was the mistress, I can't remember..."

Oh come on, they don't want to hear that. They'll have one less thing to complain about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
this is like desktop debate. people don't want to jump from windows xp to vista/7 because things are not exactly the way they had it in their previous decade old system. but aye, hopefully MS can take the next year and work extremely hard and satsify both the consumer and enterprise market with this.

I for one am a happy camper, even with the knowledge of all that is lacking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Ok let's say I made a mistake so sorry for that.

I was of course thinking of SMART dial.

As for speed dial, I agree absolutely, pin to screen is much better than a traditional speed dial.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Smartdial has been one of my favorite WM features, I'll miss it. It's especially handy when your contacts are stored in different languages.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Honestly, I get what you're saying, but I think the difference between pressing a button marked "Delete" and a button marked "7" is at best a negligible annoyance :p. I'll be glad when VVM arrives, but it's not remotely a deal breaker :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
Its not just about pressing the 7 button and deleting or hitting delete in VVM. Example: I have 25 voice mails, and there is one that came in a few days ago and I want to listen to it quickly. With VVM you can go straight to it from a visual list with date and time on your phone. You cant do that without VVM. You would have to listen through each voicemail until you got to it.

No this is not a deal breaker for me either but its something that a lot of business users will frown on. Right now this version 1 of the WP7 OS is not ready for the corporate world. There are several things left out that are needed to compete at a business level. I believe with the future updates, they will be addressed. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
I can not believe your comment. Unbelievable. You sir are an apologist. If this phone was not aimed at corporate users, then why does it have the Office Suite including SharePoint and OneNote??? Please answer me this. I don't think the regular Joe Blow even knows what SharePoint is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
I'll try to calm things down here!

First: I am not advocating nor any other, so much that i intervene in another case with lqaddict, just look at the profile and history of the posts.

I believe there was a misunderstanding here.

Most likely, lqaddict, mentioning that he was wrong device for corporate use, to use it, or the "type" of use you want.

This may be the case yes, right here in the company, the vendors work with phones that have better battery performance than the most complete and gadgets that usually do not have good battery life. There are cases that work with two gadgets.

Second: We avoid using terms "strong" as quoted: apologist.

Just mention the question of the whole package and Cooperation Office, which would already be clear.

Finally, here's XDA level is too high to be offended with direct comments like "You're wrong," "It's not right."

We are much greater than that.

So let's get the thread goes well, I think lqaddict, poor phrasing, and then wsantiagow, was lifted a little.

Nobody has made mistakes here, so let's not create flames.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
Ok I will apologize to lqaddict and XDA for my post. I love Windows Phone 7 and Im very optimistic that these issues will be addressed with future updates. I am a Systems Admin and the comment by lqaddict kind of through me for a loop because like "Strykergt" we do use our phones for corporate support and we know that Windows Phones have always been business devices.
