Seems this device may steal a lot of the Archos 101's thunder for mid to higher end Android users, since easy to root and a LOT more powerful. Apparently both devices have the same display too. Need to see the Archos 101 in "person" to confirm this, but Youtube vids show the same weak angles.

Talk about irony. Archos talks smack and is a month and a half late (even later for 2.2), only to be beat to and in channels by a device with no smack talk. Ironic.

Using rooted and gapp OTA vanilla TnT.

Market fix worked. Had to reboot x3 though
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
Not sure what OTA means. Is this firmware you flashed, and not as it comes from the factory?

Did you start Market after each reboot? Or did you just reboot three times.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thx69:
OTA: Using the vanilla post over the air update to... 2638(?) I think?

Tried Market everytime. And each time it came with error screen.

Last one came populated

Hope it helps
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wasserkapf:
I don't seem to be able to get the desired results, no matter how many times I reboot.

If the ViewSonic update doesn't give a decent market, I will reset the device and start over. I'm still not convinced that I need to install a custom ROM.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
The Viewsonic update is going to be a device reset, for all intents and purposes - that's why I'm not making any mods until that comes out.

I'm using this fix on stock, rooted G Tab & it is working great. I followed the video in the thread to flush the cache and all is up and running.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jacindc:
Is my Titanium Backup not installed properly? (first time ever trying to use it, I'm a total n00b on all of this) I get to Backup/Restore, but don't see any sort of Google Framework entry. Is there something I need to run first?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] roebeet:
It should be in there - it's "Google Services Framework 2.2", it's alphabetical.

You have gapps installed, I assume? Market is there?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jacindc:
I sideloaded Market, didn't use the TNT/gapps loader. So perhaps that's my problem. (Though I don't see any apps listed in Titanium Backup/Restore. Maybe it has something to do with the error I get about "BusyBox works but the 'su' command does not elevate to root" when I open it.)

(Can't do the YouTube Market fix, either, because I have no option in the TnT Settings / Applications to Clear Data--only Clear Cache is there)

I imagine I'll be going to TNTlite pretty soon, but I was waiting for the OTA for.... no particular reason, really. :-)

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] uncola:
This worked great for me using tntlite 2.0, but this step "- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps." the manage applications buttton was missing.. the actual button I used was System Applications.. otherwise the instructions worked. also be patient when you are wiping data in titanium backup, after hitting the button it does take a while before it will show a popup saying "data wipe complete"

- How do i bluetooth pictures from HD7 to other devices???? Having Bluetooth but can only bletooth headset or earpiece. But most important cannot bluetooth files or picture to other devices is a big disappointment. example took a picture with the HD7 cam n cannot bluetooth to ur friend or to a printing machine at the Kodac shop.....etc.

- No option to keep the phone screen on when charging, especially in car charging.

- Screen time out option only has 4 option (need to have option for no screen time out also)

- no option for using other ringtones only can use those in built in the phone

- no file explorer ( Very important cos need to find those files which are store in the phone)

I guess there are more to mention, u guys can post more abt this issue here if u like, abit regarding buying this phone still prefer my old HTC HD2 which can do wonders.

Let's hope HTC or Microsoft can do something abt this issues.....:(

Why is everyone bashing the WP7 os.

It wasn't so long ago that Android 1.6 and Iphone Firmware Version 1.1.3 had there fair share of issues and missing features.

Given enough time I hope Microsoft will address most of the things that needed to improve the WP7 experience but in the mean time if it's that serious go buy something else and stop complaining:eek:

[HD7 General] alabij:
There is so much flaming when it comes to WP7. I too don't get. There's a lot lacking WP7. And only by people 'complaining' will the manufacturer realize that certain changes need to be made.

I've been using MS phones since the Pocket Pc 2000 in 2000. WP7 is definitely a half baked OS.

Will i downgrade back to my HD2; of course not but complain I will.

The OP was simply listing flaws that are apparent. I admit that there are one too many threads where he could have just amended his post but "f1restarter " was out of line with his response. However his second response should have been the first.

You can critic as a grown up or as a child. I take it we are all adults here!
[HD7 General] zroth:
After a two days I am appreciating the shift with wp7. Sure there are things I would like back:

Copy/Paste

File system access

Ringtone

Mass storage

Messenger

Etc

Having said that, there are things I am really digging on:

XBox Live Integration

Wireless sync from Zune client

Hubs are a great place for growth

Voice recognition is great

Office 2010 is going to get better as Skydrive apps are created

Etc

On one hand there were some strikes and fouls but on the other hand were some balls that were hit out of the park!

Imagine a year from now :D
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe because every other thread is a wp7 bashing thread, and its getting a little old. You can search even the first page of the wp7 thread and the op could have posted in one of those.

Nothing he posted is groundbreaking. No file explorer, duh. Because of this you can't BT files, really???

We know this already. If MS would have implented these features before the code was ready, there would be 20 threads complaining about how buggy wp7 is.

This is a 1.0 release of a brand new OS. We all new this when we bought it. If you didn't know it, then you deserve to be frustrated because these things have been known for months now. It's not going to match the functionality of OS's that have been out for a few years now.

Microsoft knows that we want more features, they are planning a big update in january to address some of them.

And I disagree that complaining on here will get microsoft to add features. You need to take those complaints over to the wp7 support forum.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8one698:
First off, you want to hold the message icon on your screen for a few seconds, a prompt should pop up asking what you want to do. Tap change shortcut, then applications and scroll down to the messaging app you want to use and select it. It should then ask you what icon you want to use, default, Launcher Pro icon or custom. Depending on what you want you can change it. Tada, you're done.

On a side note, if you want more launcher pro icons, download launcher pri icons format the market or google launcher pro custom icons.

ive tried a few things since to try to rectify , i've deleted then reinstalled kies , kies was also telling me to go into recovery mode which my unit doesn't do , the phone & pc communicate fine to upload & download reg media etc it just seems that when digging android is doing his thing on my screen the pc decides NO!!!!!.

Also after each attempt to upgrade the phone seems to be un-affected and will boot & work without any problems.

As i said before please help as i bought android rather than sellout to you know who and all my 'i' mates are laughing.........
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectDz:
does anyone on here create their own custom icons to use with desktop visualizer? I'm wondering if you know the correct pixel dimensions to use for each icon size? (1x1, 2x2, etc.) The reason I ask is because I'm trying to make some icons but when it resizes them they are always pixelated, i cant get it right. I would ideally like to size the icon pngs just right so no resizing is needed at all.

post up if you know, thanks.

My thought exactly. I know the 1x2 dimensions are 152x294...the 1x3 are 472x150. Ive had the same problem with mine for the aria phone 7 theme, you gotta play wit it an get used to how the size changes slightly when theyre done. some jus wont resize the way you want. Im trying to find out a good size for all those that dont fit well no matter how theyre resized. Ive already made my own icons(well most of them> to replace the aria wp7 icons. I think i left most of them editable....i think lol!!! BTW fireworks is super awesome for editing icons!!!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectDz:
I never got an answer, but what I eventually did was used desktop visualizer in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I would use a larger size (e.g. 2x2) and resize it smaller. It turned out pretty good.

Seems to be better to put it on Google form?

Both easier to input and sort out and draw a chart.

What is the objective of the survey? Are you trying to perform data mining on the survey result to derive which pattern is more battery friendly or badly?

I think the battery usage statistics should be included as well? (both the % and time)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:
You're right on that. I'll try to make a survey with stats at the end. And yes, i'm data mining or struggling to find the cause or more of them, to see, which part of the phone is also the reason of huge battery problem we're having. Its not that we have a million more choices... some also reported bad battery life on 2.1 but i'm not sure this is software related then.. give me a day or so to make it happen then :)

I want to say something about battery draining of my milestone.

I recharge it until morning then go to work.At 12AM the battery is at 15%.Hmmm.. so i did some research..i updated to Cronos 1.5 ROM and then i did something unuasual.

I rebooted the phone when the battery was at 15% level. When it restarted the battery had 80% power and it lasted till night. Do you have any explanation?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:
Hm, maybe there's something about it we have in common.

I usually went to bed with 80% of battery. When I wake up, its at 30%. Now, if I start charging it, the battery charging indicator shows as if it would charge it from 80% to 100%.

okorn is the winner at the moment, with 15% to go, his phone lasting 40+ hours on Telus Lite (Eclair!), where the longest on Froyo would be more than that (petyo.tsanov) running Cyanogen Mod for 20hours and still having 60% of his battery. o_O

Its too early for any conclusions, but,.. just for info, most of us/you who filled the form did have some kind of sleep policy on (data/2g-3g-wifi).

GPS test

hiya ! ..

i did a GPS test on a hike last saturday ... with offline maps and oruxmaps set to

record position every 2 minutes ... phone was in flight mode, killed all apps on

startup.

at the end of my hike (approx 10.5 hours), the battery was at 60% and 3818 mV

with time since boot - 10 hours 49 minutes.

this was on stock 2.1-update1 ... i'll be doing a similar hike this weekend ... will

use the G.O.T leak + cyanogen mod beta 0.04-10.11.20 ... shall post results

Speechless.. you did an optimum work!!!

Hoping it will improve my MIlestone life!!!

Another thing I tried today: I tried to FULLY discharge the battery, and then charging again.

Turned on in the morning from a full charge, my MS fastly went to 50% for lunch time, after middle usage. Then, at 30% this afternoon, I decided to discharge it viewing YouTube with maximum luminosity on display.

After few minutes, 20%, then 15%, 10 and 5. In short words, it decreased from 30 to 5 in 12 minutes.

And then, the surprise: the Stone played YouTube video in WiFi streaming for over 40 minutes, staying at 5% and red led blinking continuosly! So I ask, maybe a big problem of Milestone battery life is just an incorrect reading of the battery level?

Can you try, just to see if it is my only case, or it is a common case?

and thanks again for your work!!!
