Can`t get onenote to sync automatically - It seems I always have to do a manual sync, and then sometimes it still doesnt sync!

I have already re-shared the document, to set up the relationship between web and phone, doesn`t make any difference.

For me this makes onenote completeley unusable.

Im assuming its a bug. How are other people coping with this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Definitely syncs automatically for me.

no, my own kids. And after having them play with my purchase password protected iPhone and still managing to rack up charges in the app store and in certain games...yeah definitely a thought that crossed my mind.

I want OneNote notebooks tiled on my start screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] beatseek@live.com:
You cannot pin a notebook, however, you can pin a note from inside a notebook to the start screen:

Once you create a note inside a notebook, you will also see it on the main screen of OneNote.

In OneNote main screen, tap and hold for a few seconds on the note you want, and tap on "pin to start".
[Windows Phone 7 General] notinterested:
Still a pretty silly idea to let your kids play with your expensive phone. Buy an ipod touch for them thats what we did.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
An iPod Touch is $229 base price. $300+ if you go with a 16+ GB model.

That's more expensive than most smartphones on contract, so that really is not the answer, IMO :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
My 8 yo daughter plays games and watches movies on my focus all the time. Silly? Not if there's an extensive wait time and she's otherwise unoccupied/bored. My focus cost $50. My wife's focus cost 1¢. My daughter's ds cost more than both combined.

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to root my evo for the past week, and I think I'm finally up for it. I've done some basic looking around and I believe that I need to follow this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496. I would like to keep 2.2 and not have to go back down to 2.1. One thing that I did notice was the whole HBOOT ordeal. I checked and I have the .97 version. Is there anything special that I need to do before following the instructions in the link above? I plan on using the stock 2.2 rom and possibly experimenting with different roms in the future. I'd say I'm experienced with computers, although I will admit that I'm new to rooting and have yet to toil with coding. If anyone has any suggestions or a better method, I'm all ears.

i would suggest you follow this method instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448

i rooted my evo with the method that you mentioned but that is an older process, it involves downgrading and then upgrading. even though the process will still work, you will be better off using an updated method.

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also considering rooting my phone to stock android, but have never rooted and have a couple questions.

Why do it? And the software (I guess?) That Evo comes with is designed to work specifically with the Evo(right?)...well if I rooted, is that software or whatever its called (yes, I'm a newbie) designed to take advantage of the Evo hardware etc..?

Thanks

Edit: oh and if I don't like it can I undo it like I never did it in the first place?

First off, Jbcarrera thank you so much for the links (and I LOVE your avater, being a huge AC fan)! I just rooted my evo in I'd have to say about 10 minutes. That's a good question for the seniors here, josh. My phone right now (rooted) looks exactly the same as it did beforehand. All apps still there, sense is still on it, and for me, I'm going to use this to turn on my mobile hotspot feature for free. My way of seeing it (and I'm sure others see it this way too) is that android is OPEN SOURCE carriers will lock features down, and rooting just unleashes the full potential. :D again, thanks to everyone here, I am sure to visit back often for many tips and tricks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
firstly what hboot do you have? 10 mins is for anything with hboot under 2.02. if you don't know how to get to your hboot its easy just turn off your phone and let it power all the way down, next your hold the volume down and power button at the same time and voiala you are in hboot at the top of the phone it will state a few things one of them says hboot that number is your version of hboot if it says .97 or below your good to go if not then you will have to root with a more complicated method.

Scared S!ht-less

I recently purchased a White Evo a few weeks ago. I've been reading the forums and in a few months i'll probably look back at this post and LOL at myself. Anyways I have HBOOT 2.02 with S-On. I tried installing Unrevoked when i first got the phone (easier way), but got the infamous "misc error"

I want to make sure I do this right and root the right way. I want to do a complete back up of the stock rom, but i tried doing a recovery with the HBOOT and all i got was a phone with a red triangle. I pulled the battery out and the phone restarted. Got scared.... So how do i do this the right way? Looks like I need to do some sort of nandroid backup, but what and where do i download nandroid? I also want to install this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808656 I also don't want any radio problems since i have great 4g service. Do i need to do a backup of radio files since i also want to do this mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696073

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stroid01:
Exactly if you have .97 or below simply use unrevoked3 one click root works great and installs clockworkmod recovery bootloader. My one recommendation after that is to then download Rom Manager and flash the bootloader to Amon_RA and do a nandroid backup before deciding to flash any roms. Clockwork does not create a wimax image and people have been having issues while trying to flash the wimax. I personally created a nandroid using clockwork then flashed to Amon and did another backup with it. Safe is better then sorry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
Ok with your hardware version and build number i know for a fact that you have hboot 2.02 that mean you cannot canNOT CANNOT use Unrevoked. You are gonna have to use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045. follow the insturctions to the letter as that if you don't you run the risk of bricking your phone and will have to find the official RUU and start all over or take your phone back to Sprint.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umerr:
Hi Everybody,

I bought the samsung i9000m and after few days i became the victim of this notorious INTERNEL SD CARD FAILURE. I don't know whether it is a hardware issue or software. I have tried almost 10 different ROMS but unable to resolve this internel sd card issue. I flashed these ROMS with ODIN3. My Galaxy S stops after S Logo.

Yesterday I read about ( EUGENE 2k_JK2_Froyo with SD CARD FIX) on xdadeveloper forum.

After flashing this rom i am able to boot my i9000m. Now I am confronting three problems.

1. Cannot charge my battery even I switch off my phone. If I try to charge

in switch on state the mobile switches off.

2 . It mounts my External 8GB card but Available space 0 bytes. and no software for example camera can detect

3. Not mounting Internal SD Card.

Is there any fix at least for the first two problems.

Need help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Blazerfan722:
I always liked the N95 symbian address book that allowed me to create groups for my contacts and I liked all WM previous phone dialers which would cross reference all incoming and outgoing calls with the numbers I was pressing.

Microsoft should atleast make a dialer thats as good as their previous ones, and maybe learn a thing or 2 from Symbian.

Edit: I just read that it was possible to cut down the number of contacts from facebook that appear in your phone, but it still should not be this difficult. I should be able to simple long press the contact and select delete or hide.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nice One Star thread repeating issues in about 20 other threads :P

One thing I'd like to agree with the OP about is the Capacitive buttons. They're a good idea in theory (the Vibrant has them as well), but they're practically terrible. They are very prone to hitting by accident.

Lots of OSes can learn from Symbian, but being the Jack of All Trades has not worked for any OS to date. Windows Mobile also supported a ton of stuff and it's marketshare in the US suffered a lot. Symbian has great marketshare overseas because the OS is used in low-end feature phones as well. They aren't strong in the mid-high end smartphone market.

And they would be, if they didn't put such small NANDs in the phones, skimp on the RAM in the phones (it uses a Virtual memory architechture, but the phones still need at least 348 MB RAM, IMO), and have such an embarassing user interface. I really like that it has the most flexible development environment of any smartphone OS, though (similar to [again] Windows Mobile on that front).
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
1. There's a separate Facebook app in the marketplace. If you don't want to integrate everyone, get it.

2. Agree on this point.

3. Never happened to me. If you want to see the progress stay on that page. A little bar begins to fill up. So I don't know what you're talking about.

4. Only time that happens to me is when I exit IE and then try to come back in.

5. Sorry, but that's user error.

6. There's already a workaround. You can use it as a mass storage device.

7. Its coming in the update. Why is that so hard to get?

8. Don't browse inappropriate videos? Or play a few more things after to make it replace the history items.

9. Kinda agree, but its not unheard of at all. So why would they do it?

EDIT: Poster above was more succint.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
The problem isn't DivX as far as I understand, it's avi. Divx is just an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile, which is supported. And the strange part here is that avi is Microsoft's own proprietary format, while mp4 is Apple's. Strange times.

Scrubbing is needed not only for long videos, I use it all the time for YouTube and music (especially podcasts, many of which aren't properly separated into chapters).

"Coming in the update" means nothing. It may be month or 5 months.

LOL... This guy's not a troll! :D

He's genuinely disappointed with his purchase and has every right to complain about it. If you WP7 sympathisers were honest with yourselves, you would recognise that there are currently plenty of problems with this platform, and disaffected users have every right to complain.

There's no point pretending the problems don't exist.. it's obvious they, perhaps you only ever read Microsoft blogs and listen to Channel 9. If you want a true indication about how many users are feeling, just read the Microsoft questions and answers forum.

Guys,

This is still a new OS, it's been out for ONE month, many of these things gonna be replaced or added with updates. Just wait and see. The most important thing now is that's a fast and simple OS. Just remember what ****ty phone iPhone was, look what it became now... Time does miracles!
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmelo76:
Alright guys, I'm leaving this open thread to know the answer, if it occurs.

And also for others to vent, but we will maintain an acceptable level before they start fighting funboys because of companies.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Agreed,

Unfortunately I have the feeling that most people here now refuse to see the obvious problems with this platform (no USB, no DivX, and so many others...)

Seems like there is no right to judge and criticize the OS.

We shall not become like the iPhone fanboys. Seriously.

I also think that WP7 is a truly disappointing experience as I don't like to be forced to use all these external MS services (Zune, Skydrive, Marketplace, etc...) that just make me waste my time.

And I expect nothing from the so-called January update.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
1. Read the user manual, the contacts list is much easier to scroll than the default one in winmo 6.5. Pressing on a letter opens up all the letters to quickly get you where you need to go.

2. Wouldn't mind the media player's scroll to work like netflix for video, but that would probably be too difficult. Overall not a deal breaker for me.

3. Read the manual.

4. That is only the case if you exit IE, then go back in. The OS is trying to predict where you want it to go and 90% of the time, its right.

5. not a wp7 problem, but a capacitive button problem. Maybe you should complain to the hardware manufacturer about it. Microsoft did not make them mandatory (capacitive).

6. Once again, this is more a power user feature, then a smartphone feature. I agree its to control piracy that is running rampant on winmo.

7. Still haven't needed it in the week I've had my phone, but its in the first update slated for january. Since microsoft pushes the updates straight to the carriers, and the carriers have nothing to add, they should all be out around the same time.

8. You can delete all IE history through settings/ applications/ IE, or from the browser/ press the three dots, settings, delete history

Or you can get browser + from the market which is an IE based browser that allows for private browsing and also has on screen forward and back buttons.

9. Why do you have to sit at your computer while the video converts? Zune does it for you. It didn't take long at all.

You are acting quite like the immature child. If you bought the phone yesterday, return it and get something that better meets your needs. It is very obvious that you have spent zero time either before purchase or since trying to get to know the phone. That is your fault, not microsofts.

The problem is that these limitations are well documented and well known if you take even the littlest time to do a little reading. Launch week, engadget had all their wp7 OS and device reviews stickied at the top of their site for easy reference. I didn't realize that xda was the premier site for buyer's remorse.

He's complaining to the wrong forum. This forum is about developing not complaining, yet 2 out of every 3 threads are complaints of the same few problems (well known in advance).

once again, well before launch we knew this was the way it was going to be, esp. the cloud integration. Complaining about it now, after purchase is like buying a hummer h2 and then complaining about the gas mileage.

HEY MODS!!!! Why not make a separate sub forum in the general section and we can call it: "I didn't do my research and now I'm stuck with a phone I don't like!!!" or how about WP7 Complaints???

I am on T-mobile USA. I use a UK HD2. Therefore, I do not have 3G frequencies. I am on Web2Go (unlimited Data), however, my speeds are limited to 2G edge. It's painfully slow.

Is data speeds a cause by Android or my carrier's speeds?

Can Web2Go be any faster if, say, I had a US HD2 (assuming t-mobile doesn't know I have a smartphone under Web2Go)??? What speeds will I be surfing the web? 3G 4G?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Your post confuses me, but I think this may be the answer you're looking for.

Edge (which is actually 2.5G) has a max download limit of about 25kB/s, that's a technical limitation and cannot be bypassed. Android has got nothing to do with this. You also can't softmod your phone to receive TMO's 3G frequencies, if you really want it you're gonna need a TMO supported HD2. 4G is out of question, but I've heard their 3G network is pretty damn quick. (Couple of megabits/sec download, should suffice methinks!)

thank you. that was informative.

But my question is if my HD2 was able to pick up 3G or 4G (hspa+), will my download speeds be limited to my phone's frequencies or limited to the data plan I have, which is the $9.99 Web2Go?
