+1

definitely true. the reason why the iPhone succeeds is because it's app store is available around the world with over 70 countries, mine included.

Getting a Windows phone was the best decision i made, until found out i can't buy paid apps off the marketplace, you need a US credit card or something.

This marketing strategy is a potential WP7 killer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
I think the app marketplace is available in most places...at least in their initial target areas. The guy is from the netherlands so I assume he's after a zune pass and for that MS is beholden to the recording industry but I believe they'll have a solution for all their target markets, perhaps not all having the zune pass, but they will all be able to buy the music.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
that makes me curious. Iphone has music streaming now, right? Does that work everywhere?

I think some of the problem that microsoft is having is that some countries want more money for the streaming rights than in the USA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Apple doesn't have streaming like zune pass natively....you can get third party software in the app store I think.

The problem for sure is what the content owners want financially...I was old by an MS rep that in Canada for insance, SOCAN (content industry reps) are wanting a ridiculous amount of money...from what I gather they are not really interested in the rental idea to the point where it would make sense for a consumer to purchase it...

As much as I'd like to blame MS for incompetent negotiating, the music industry is notoriously stupid and short term in their thinking...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually no, Zune doesn't work for apps either unless you change the region.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pencilcase:
Zune pass does also not work in Germany but that problem is not related to MS or to Zune but to the GEMA. -> http://www.gema.de/en/

Thanks to them wanting astronomical amounts of money, most streaming services etc are not possible in Germany. REALLY annoying :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Same issue in Canada...it's called SOCAN here...it gets even crazier here as the artist association who already get a tax on all media want to further charge...just getting out of hand. I can't really complain about the kids these days who will just bypass it all and get it illegally or the many new artists who just bypass these corrupt associations and sell directly to their audience...

Regarding the app marketplace...that is a big FAIL if it's not available in all of Europe...I know Android marketplace only became available in Canada about a year ago but you'd think MS would have that sorted out of the gate...music I understand but the app marketplace seems silly not to have it working...it works in Canada
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
Well if this is not sorted out by then end of January I for one will not be upgrading to a WP7 phone.:(

Having no access to the app market is not going to cut it for me.:mad:

One easy solution that would solve this problem instantly would be to allow us to pay using Microsoft points, These are available to most I think.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
yep MS Points would work a whole lot more. i sent the MS guys some tweets again regarding this

This helps the interested members of the forum take part in trying new roms without needing to ask the same question multiple times. I would create it but unlike the G1, ive not frigged my galaxy yet. I ask this because like many people on the forum at some point most will try a rom. Its always good knowing what to expect from a rom and if the community regard user friendly / stable. The thread would need to be updated by a mod giving unbiased opinion on the growing number of roms available.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue163:
You are not supposed to use a PIT file when flashing those roms. I did the same thing and had the same error. I tried using different pit files and was able to change the error from /dev/block/stl10 to /dev/block/stl11, but that didn't fix it.

Here is how I corrected mine:

In recovery mode I cleared cache and data

I used Odin to flash JM8 using the 512 pit onto my phone, selected repartition

I then used Odin to flash JK3 onto my phone (the ROM I wanted) with no PIT file, no repartition.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mancomb:
Hi, apologies if this has been covered before, but in your opinion is it worth buying an HD2 intending to use it purely as an Android phone? You can buy it for about half the price of a similarly specced Android phone, but will you get the same sort of performance out of the HD2 as a similarly specced native Android phone like the Evo?

Are there any significant drawbacks to using Android on the HD2 compared to a native phone?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antphoenix:
Hey dude.. I use my HD2 purely on Android and I love it.. Works great for me.. Just gotta do a little searching to find the Android build that you like best.. I use one of the Cyanogenmod ones and my wife used one of the Sense builds, but different strokes for different folks.

The beauty of it is that yoiu can change to a completely differnt version as many times as you like and never have to lose any other version you've tried.. Its great.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I bought it purely for Android, because I could find it for a lot less, with better specifications. It's as good as finished, some quirks here and there but we'll get there eventually, and it sure is very useable. Mind that you'll have to spend some time in the beginning to figure out which combo of WinMo rom/radio/android build works best for you, but once you're set, it's a good experience. And if you feel like exploring the geek world, HD2 is probably thé best phone currently out there, but that's just something optional of course.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
One thing that I'm just starting to realize as a problem is that the hard keys on the hd2 don't seem to very stable. Using android forces you to use those keys a lot more than you would need to on winmo... I assume that's why all the newer android phones are using capacitive buttons instead of hard buttons. My back and middle button are starting to get really screwy after a few months of using android. I barely used them with winmo. I'm definitely gonna keep that in mind when I get a new phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mancomb:
Thanks for the replies, I went ahead and bought one, they're ridiculously cheap on ebay compared to android phones and I like hacking and fiddling with gadgets so i'm hoping it will be great! Hope I don't have the same problem with the buttons...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
I haven't got any trouble with the buttons :P don't know what the hell some guys do with there phones. but if you take much care of it, the HD2 is a great phone, speed in android is faster then the most common android devices. maybe not as fast as the desire HD but still an amazing device

Same here. I've had my phone over a year now and there is 0% wrong with the hardware buttons. Been using Android for about 3 months too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I'm pretty sure that it's just a design reason, it's really not that hard or expensive to implement good physical buttons. My ol' HTC Magic for example had great ones, I'm sure they'll last way longer than anyone will ever use the phone.
