[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] austontatious:
SuperPower (I got it on AppBrain) is an advanced power management app. It does cool stuff like allow you to schedule your phone to shut off data when the screen is off WHILE scheduling the data to come on for a couple minutes every hour to sync your email AND leave data on if your screen is off but you're downloading something. It didn't seem to play too nice with setcpu but has literally doubled my battery life without a noticeable change in performance. There's a thread on xda about it somewhere, but this is currently an unsupported beta so use at your own risk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 94tbird:
of course it did it shut data off. any app that does that will extend batt life
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dsEVOlve:
So basically it is Juice Defender?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jlechner:
sounds like.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] austontatious:
Ya, it's a similar concept to JuiceDefender. Less about task management and power profiles, though - isntead of setting up profiles you basically just enable levels of control over your phone for the app. And yes, 94tbird, I am aware that "of course it did it shut data off. any app that does that will extend batt life " but the impressive thing is that it didn't just turn data off, but it managed it so that I didn't notice it was off. If I wanted a phone with no data connection and great battery life, I'm sure I have an old nokia around here somewhere. The point was that it is a smart enough app to turn data off when I don't need it and on when I do, while still keeping my email box synced and all without me noticing a difference (besides the battery life). You could accomplish the same thing with the stock widget to turn your data connection on and off, but you would actually have to turn it on and off. This app does it for you, and seamlessly enough that you don't notice it working. But hey - do as you like. I don't have any connection to the developer(s) of this app, I just dl'd it and it worked really well, thought I would share.

[HD7 General] c0wb0ycliche:
Love Windows Phone 7, don't really love the hardware quality of the HD7. There are a few software issue that I am hoping are user fixable and not something I have to wait for an update to address.

1. Search button behavior in Internet Explorer - it irritates me immensely that when you hit the search button on the HD7, it brings up the Google desktop website. Similarly if you enter text in the address bar it searches Google, not Bing. If I wanted to use Google, I'd have kept my Android device. Is there a way to change this yet, and set the T-Mobile USA HD7 to default to the Bing app and not the Google website? Its especially annoying because the results bring you to mobile formatted pages.

2. This is more of a complaint than a fixable issue until copy and paste comes, but I have noticed that the text type recognition doesn't work all the time. In some places if I click an address it goes to Bing Maps but other times it does nothing, it looks like it highlights the word I touch. I haven't been able to find any pattern in which sites work and which don't, but its frustrating.

3. Sometimes when I get a text message the notification sound plays all choppy. It does seem to happen only where service is bad. Is there a fix for this?

4. Office and Skydrive. Maybe I am just retarded but I feel like there should be a way to access my Office files online, specifically through SkyDrive since I can save to it from Office on the computer. Do I have to have a Sharepoint server to do this? Can I really not access my SkyDrive files?

If I remember more I will post.

Also, is there an ETA for Flash?
[HD7 General] /)4rk H4r8!n93r:
I have been playing with the skydrive and I added a few files to it to try and see if I could open them on the HD7. The thing is I can open them but have yet to figure out how to open them with Word on the HD7 so that I can edit them and save them back to the skydrive(copy & paste would be nice...meh...soon I hope). But I opened IE and logged into my Windows Live account and I can open anything I have saved on the skydrive, PDFs, word files, excel sheets, ppt presentation, pictures, etc. Now the only issue is editing those files, I haven't tried sending files Word, Excel, etc. to the skydrive and trying to open them on my PC. Will update later with results of further tinkering.
[HD7 General] alabij:
My issues with HD7

Like many people I love this phone but coming from Windows Mobile 6.5 and donw (isn't that weird to say), this phone is really lacking.

1) The Zune software is crap for lack of a better word. No Smart DJ; No Artist photos; no random track play etc. These are not deal breakers but if you came from the Zune HD like me then you'll feel let down.

2) Font Size. It might just be me, but not being able to set a minimal font size is ridiculous. I use the word ridiculous because even my first pocket Pc phone edition in 2001 allowed font resize.

3) No ability to sync my desktop mobile favs. Yes! I know of the work around but wasn't the point of the new OS to avoid all that crap.

4) I want to be able to sync with my local address book. This whole facebook and windows live thing . . . .Look at it this way, if your contacts are based through FB then if one of those contacts cancels their FB acct then you automatically loose all that data. Of course this is not a MS thing.

4) With my HD2 and HTC Sense, I was used to seeing ALL my FB contact photos. Again not an MS thing but . . . .

5) This is really more of a gripe than anything but the battery icon doesn't tell much.How come I can't see exactly how much juice I have left.

6) Unified Inbox, flash, cut and paste. These are all things MS was kind enough to make us aware off so they get a pass on those.

Where is the File Explorer?
[HD7 General] ace10134:
1. Apparently carriers can change the search engine within Internet Explorer, and we can't do anything about it. Once someone gets access to editing the registry, maybe we will be able to change that. BUT I do have some help for you: Search something in Google, and then scroll down to the bottom, find the "Settings" link. Then you can change it to NOT format sites for mobile phones. That should make the experience better!

2. Addresses have to be in a certain format: #### N Street Rd, Zip Code. Like this address, 6362 N Calle Campeche, 85750. If it doesn't have the zip code after the street, it sadly doesn't recognize it. Hopefully they fix that, it's a great feature otherwise.

3. Idk, never had that happen.

4. You can access your Skydrive files and download them to your phone by going to the SkyDrive website (they have a mobile version), but you can't upload any documents from your phone or upload the changes you make in a doc you download. It has been rumored that SkyDrive integration will be implemented at some point.

1. Yeah, I miss SmartDJ too. I never looked at an artist's pictures however. Their picture does load as a background image, but I know that's not what you're referring to. By random track playing, you mean Shuffle? In the now playing screen, tap on the album art, and then click the shuffle icon.

2. Font size depends on the user of course. I'm good with it as it is, but they should have made an option to change it. Maybe a future update.

3. Eh yeah. I don't use favorites honestly :P

4. You mean how the HTC Album app in WinMo could access all of your friends online Facebook photo albums, right from their contact card? Yeah I loveeeed that in HTC Sense. I was really disappointed when my WP7 didn't have something like that.

4.2. Umm, if a friend cancels their Facebook account, you don't loose anything that you stored yourself. Just add a contact's info into your Windows Live contacts, it will never disappear.

5. Maybe someone will write a battery percentage app. Idk.

6. I personally can't wait for copy/paste!

7. Microsoft made it decetly clear months ago that there wouldn't be a file explorer.
[HD7 General] c0wb0ycliche:
Thanks for the tips, and I'm really hoping someone figures out how to change the search option. It's annoying when my bosses WP7 (HTC Surround) pulls up the bing app in IE, and mine goes to the Google site. You can remove all carrier and manufacture apps (1 step forward) but can't choose your default internet search while your carrier can (2 steps back.)

Hardware wise, the issues I have are these:

After a couple days, the back and battery color have some discoloration. I don't have particularly dirty or clammy hands, so I don't know why this is. It weirdly also doesn't look like where my fingers actually are, so maybe it's heat related. I've seen similar issues on the Touch Pro and the G2. I think it has something to do with the soft touch material.

There is also a gap between the two pieces of the battery cover. This I have seen on literally every unit I've touched. Mine, my boyfriends, the demo unit at T-Mobile, and the ones at Best Buy.

Likewise, if you press search a little hard, you see like a ripple in the bottom right hand corner. This also was on every device I played with, so it's a general thing.

These things, for me at least, aren't deal breakers, but they are annoying, especially compared to the absolutely astounding build quality of the HD2.

...

anyway.

All of this stuff aside, I must say, my actual general usage experience with the device (again, more WP7 than the HD7 specifically) has been honestly, wonderful.

I've found that in my experience,true to Microsoft's goal, everything just works, and works quickly. Coming from Android (recently, after the HD2 I just couldn't deal with WM6.5) and having had every phone in between (iPhone, Palm Pre, a crap ton of Android phones, even a Symbian phone) I must say that I have had the fewest problems, and most fluid experience of all, on WP7. General usage stuff like calls, texts, e-mail, web browsing, social networking etc. are all just super fast and efficient (with maybe the only exception being Facebook's annoying load time, but its not horribly necessary with the "what's new" section in People. Also, despite some issues (like it taking me a week to realize you can click on the song list under now playing) the media and gaming is hands down the best I've had on a phone.
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
Ugh, is the T-Mobile HD7 locked into Google?

I thought the whole idea of the Search button was to get quick access to the Bing Search Application. Is this so or is it only the search in IE?

Hoping they'll add a way to change that ASAP.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Only in IE. Press Search from the start screen and it'll work like you expect (opening Bing)
[HD7 General] c0wb0ycliche:
The T-Mobile US variant of the HD7 works like this, in all places other than a) Internet Explorer or b) app that override the search button (like contacts) when you press the search key it bring up Bing. When in IE, it goes to google.com. When in an app with an override, it searches within that app.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
About your part B... that's how the search button is supposed to work, Windows Phone was designed like that. The T-Mobile USA HD7 is only different than other phones in part A.
[HD7 General] c0wb0ycliche:
as a few more days have passed, I also noticed that sometimes the Marketplace will lock up. The phone doesn't, I can still go back to the start screen, use all other apps etc, but when I go into Marketplace again it says loading and then goes back into to start unless I restart the device. Not a big deal, not too common, but still a bug. I think its related to the small freezes while browsing apps when it's loading the icons.
[HD7 General] pittphan:
To clarify, you can upload and save your changes to SkyDrive. Simply tap down at the application settings and select synchronize. That will sync any changes with SkyDrive.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrazYx626:
Ok so I have rooted my phone (I think -_-) with the method where I download the file and rename it to update.zip, put it in the internal storage on my phone, and then recovered.

I have the superuser app icon, then I downloaded ROM manager and flashed a recovery (I don't even know wtf this means) and then downloaded Android Mate and tried going to the system files and deleting the bunch of crap bloatware this came with. I select the ones I want to delete, and then click delete, then it says "files were deleted successfully" but they're still there?! I'm so hella confused.

1.) Why will android mate not delete these files? I gave it permission through superuser!

2.) How do I know for sure if my phone is rooted?

3.) How do I know if I have a backup? I don't intend to flash any ROMS or operating systems or whatever the hell (i'm just fine with the stock OS)

I'm soooo lost right now. I love this phone but I reallllly wanna remove the bloatware so I can start customizing it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgibran:
Hello,

I have never used AndroidMate but I can recommend Titanium Backup. You can search for the app (even system apps, so make sure you know what you want to delete) and delete it. If you buy the premium version you can even "freeze" them, as in they won't be deleted but they won't start up either (in case you change your mind later on).

Hope this helps.

I have twice now gone through my contacts and set Mobile first, Home second, etc for several contacts. After my newest ROM flash, the order is all messed up again, even on the Google Contacts side of things.

[Epic 4G General] p0peye:
I get very anoyed by the contact's numbers order.

In my country:

- the mobile numbers begin with 06...

- fixed line numbers depends of the town, but mostly are 011..., 021..., etc.

Now - it realy is a pain in the back to search for a person, and 99% of the time to scroll down to 2cond or third number to pick... :(

Even when I want to send a message - the same is needed, although in my country it is not possible to send a message to a fixed line number (I know in some countries it is possible).

Is there an app to choose the order of offered numbers to dial, send messages and similar?

Cheers
[Epic 4G General] p0peye:
I found on another forum:

"If you do a long press on the office number, a menu will appear. From the menu, you can select "Make default number". This way, when you dial, it will automatically dial the office number."

But :

- it doesn't appy to message compose,

- it can be applyed to one number only - if someone have 2 mobile phones (personal and work) - it helps just 50%

- it has to be done person by person, and it is a pain...

- it doesn't apply to all the dialers (just to default one)

My battery is only lasting about 5 hours. And when I check the usage it turns out the calendar has used 62 % of my battery.

Hello, mine does the same, I am using SeePU and CPU is 100% usage from time to time for about 1-2 hours (I check it once in a while). Installed SystemPanel to check the process activity and it's com.htc.bgp which is using about 50% of the battery (16h25m of CPU usage).

When going to the Settings-->About phone-->Battery-->Battery Use, for a flash of a second the process com.htc.bgp appears on top, but then changes to "Calendar" and uses 40-50% of the battery.

I use as calendars the exchange e-mail and facebook (used only for birthday reminder sync). The problem appears also when I remove the exchange server so it seems this is caused by Facebook. Unfortunately, I can't find a solution for removing only the calendar (I can live without birthdays...) but still I need the contacts synced....
