[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
This is probably the wrong place to ask but I hope someone may know. I have owned a zune hd and now have a wp7 i use zune media player for playing my music. But living in England its hard to buy a Zune at a good price and my music collection is way to big even if i could get a 64gig phone. So im now thinking of getting an ipod classic (really wanted a zune 120 but i need to get finance as xmas has made me poor) the problem i have is that zune uses its own database to store all the data for my music collection. Is there a way to convert that data into itunes as i found it more than useless at organizing my music and especially bad at finding album art (about 40% hit rate zune = 90% and then has much much easier finding features or manual changing). I dont want this to turn into a battle of whats better and why plus we all know that its zune by a long way. But i was just hoping someone might know how this can be done or if it can be done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
unlike MS who is willing to play nice to help get your stuff across, Apple has no intention (I believe) to support any form of importation from Zune. I think you're on your own unless you can find a 3rd party product to do it for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] justinxtreme:
Actually both the Zune software and Apple iTunes software use their own database AND BOTH OF THEM DON'T WRITE THE INFORMATION IN THE FILE'S (SONG'S) ID3 TAGS.

You have to do them manually. One thing that might help you is right clicking songs or albums in iTunes and using Check Album Artwork, just have the write information in the ID3 tags of the song. It will take a very long time to manage these songs but when you find spare time (and believe me someday you will), organize it. I did with mines too. Don't use automatic organizers, they just mess up your music collection.

I notice my Bing Maps doesn't show the right coordinates of my location. What could be wrong?
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
You could be standing indoors or somewhere where there's not a good enough GPS signal, or you may have location services switched off.
[HD7 General] alabij:
You are not alone. I started a thread where I called it =garbage. I don't want to generalize just in case it's a hardware issue on my part but it always shows my location in a different city and when using the GPS on maps it seems to always be trying to catchup.
[HD7 General] JoePR31:
GPS settings

How can we tell if the GPS has locked on to any satellites...or for that matter, if it's even on??? There doesn't seem to be any direct mention of GPS in the settings menu...just a general option to turn location services on or off. Am I missing something here...or does ms not think that giving users direct control over GPS is important?
[HD7 General] alabij:
Totally agree with you. My guess though is that when the circles radius is just a couple pixels from the central point then its GPS; since GPS is accurate to a couple feet and A-GPS when the radius is about half the screen. Again just guessing but I really do wish there was an option.
[HD7 General] JoePR31:
I believe you're right about the meaning of the radius of the circle in the stock map app. But, it probably isn't as obvious in other kinds of apps that use GPS.

I'm gonna shoot ms an email regarding this...and I suggest that anyone else that agrees that this is less than ideal do the same. Its too late to have them do anything about it in the upcoming January update, but if they hear enough complaints about it, maybe they'll do something about it in the update after that one.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Personally I'd rather Ms did NOT add in any such options. I have the option to use or not use location services, that's enough. Apps that can utilize GPS will switch the circuit on and use it while they're the active app. As soon as you switch away, the app tombstones and GPS switches off, to save battery life. That's just the way I like it, nice and simple. No need for an option of any kind there. It just works.
[HD7 General] JoePR31:
Jim, if the battery on my HD7 were more robust, I would agree with you. But it's not...so I don't. I would like the option to utilize only tower/WiFi triangulation...and to be able to enable my GPS only when I need my location to be precisely determined.

You are right...it does just work...which was more than I could say for my Vibrant's GPS for quite a while. But, access to any setting that could help me milk some more life out of my battery is access that I want.
[HD7 General] HD7Sol:
GPS ?!?

I have both the HD2 and the HD7. The HD7 with services ON show my location over half a mile away from my office. This is consistent and constant. It shows me in the middle of a hwy norht east of my office. My HD2 not have this issue. It pinpoints my location, tells me in meters how accurate it is and tells me how many satellites it is in contact with. It will actually follow me accurately around the building inside and out. What's the problem with the HD7?? Seems like it is a step backward to me in this regard!
[HD7 General] Jonno2343:
How wide is the circle around the dot? It may be using the Cell tower / WiFi to determine your position and therefore be very inaccurate.

What country are you in?

I guess it's possible that the actual maps are wrong and are showing the incorrect map overlay for your country?
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
after reading this thread i tested my HD7 with the bing map and its accurate, showed me where i am i changed to aerial map to confirm it...

i believe the data (3G) have to be connected, i am on unlimited data plan so its on all the time, wifi do not work as i tested with the wifi after that and it showed my location far away from my home...
[HD7 General] alijahg34:
this should fix everyones issue Go to setting and select find my phone check box both opitions and now try bing maps again. you will also notice well driving bing maps will keep a better track well your moving

I see my location was stand in somewhere on the sea at Europe.

That's suck...

[HD7 General] luda420:
hd7 no gps please help

gps dosent work on google maps when i flash back to old rom gps works
[HD7 General] cina:
As far as I know location services do not use GPS exclusively. It uses GSM cell and tower info as well to speed up approximation and let enough time for GPS satellite locking. GSM cell data is stored in internet databases (do not know where and how) but if there is a mislocated tower (e.g.i Thailand) your location might be determined in a wrong way.

To keep it simple M$ hidden this mixed mode location service. I don't know what happens if you switch off location service in settings and use a GPS application for locating yourself. Is there a difference? Might be.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raz1337:
I bought a T-Mobile US Touch Pro 2 7 months ago. I bought it mostly for a smart phone with a hardware keyboard. I've kept it updated most of the time with the latest Energy build, so it's a pretty awesome phone. My only complaints have been:

- Lack of stereo headset jack

- Camera phone quality doesn't seem to match up to other images I've seen from other phones. My images tend to look grainy where as some other people's phones resemble digital cameras.

- Overall system speed feels slow at times. I have an Asus G51 laptop that can reboot back to the desktop faster than my phone can.

My main gripe about a phone was a hardware qwerty keyboard since I couldn't stand the blackberry hardware keyboard and software keyboards annoy me. I had an iPod Touch once and the software keyboard on it didn't bother me that much. I think it depends on the device.

My upgrade from T-Mobile was used for this 7 months ago, so I have a year and a half before the next upgrade. If I wanted to buy a new phone, it'd have to be retail or used. Were Craigslist and Ebay the only choices left? I'm just trying to decide if the HD2 is really the next choice for me. The idea of the HD7 looks neat, but has WP7 really had the kinks worked out?

I could try to sell this one on craigslist to get cash to offset buying a new one, but it's scratched up some and dented on the top and bottom.

Any input?

What could be the cause of the 3G icon to show only G?

5 minutes ago I had 3G. I'm at the same spot at my work place.

Could GSM/WCDMA effect these settings? My network is GSM (Orange).

So I changed it from Auto to GSM only. Then I revert the setting back but I still get G only.

Is there anything to do with HSPA?

[General Questions and Answers] bsinclair:
Guys,

I have a strange problem on my LG phone (the GT810 is almost the same as the Incite), using stock WM 6.1 ROM. About a month ago it started having this battery power fluctuations. Explaining better, during normal use, sometimes I see the power drop from 80-90% to almost nothing (most of the times 8%). If I keep using the phone, in less than a minute the power return to the correct level.

I am NOT seeing any decrease on battery life and I know it is not the battery as I have two (one older (1,5 years), one new (less than 2 months)) and both show the same behavior.

I haven't installed anything new on the phone and WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth are kept off all the time and email uses pull instead of push to save power (but 3G is on).

Any ideas?

Hi!

I have a B7610 Windows Mobile.

Sometimes it annoys me that I have to pull out my phone to change the song.

I had (still have) a PSP and it has a nice remote attached to the cable and I can change songs with it.

Is there such a device that could allow me to change songs in my Windows Mobile?

I use currently S2P, but could change it if there is a better player (for this remote control feature).

I have noticed that there is only 3 data types in the only input - headphone jack, so don't think it will be possible to add the remote there, so I think the only solution will be with Bluetooth. Also I always wanted wireless headphones...

Btw, it would be really nice if the bluetooth device would be just a device with a headphones jack, because I like my current headphones.

But my priority is to get this remote control feature!
[Omnia II Accessories] mu-sensei:
i have a sony MW600, it alows me to change songs, and have a standard 3.5mm jack so you could still use your preferred headphones. downside is that the screen indication does not display songnames and i dont know why.

I was running the paid version of this for awhile until I noticed my battery life was going a bit quicker, just due to the fact that it's a live background, but I still love it. Definitely a great live background and the lag is really minimal for most live ones. The time of day feature is also really cool, but off an hour due to daylight savings. Definitely worth the $.99 though. Great rubbing it in to iPhone users. :D

TRY THIS!!! Don't use the market app at all.. it disables the stock app. Uninstall wireless tether, reboot... then run stock app.

For an easy toggle, use the power widgets in the notification bar, and under CM settings enable the toggle "Wifi AP" to toggle wireless tether from the notification bar easily.

Is there really a benefit to using Barnacle or Wireless Tether? Is it harder for T-Mobile to track and monitor tethering?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Barnacle and the original Wifi Tether use your own data connection as a hotspot upon being granted root access. T-Mobile doesn't have a way to track this down the way they do with the stock hotspot feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
So you're saying you have no source stating that T-Mobile can more easily track down tether usage with HotSpot, when compared to Barnacle and Wifi Tether? Or you're saying you made it up and were hoping that googling wifi tether would provide a source for something you guessing at?

Either way, thanks for your speculation.

Hey Guys. If you want to save time, jump to the bold part :

I'm new to the modding scene and have gone around the forum reading all about Roms, kernels, rooting, etc.

Last week I ordered my first Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S 8gb from Singapore.

I will be receiving it in about 4 hours. I have been told that it's on stock eclair 2.1, not sure which firmware version.

Since this phone is absolutely new, I am posting this question just to make sure I dont screw it up on the first night (literally).

I want to install custom ROM to the phone, so here's what I have understood I have to do :

1) Perma Root the phone

2) Install Rom Manager from Market

3) Reboot in clockwork recovery, choose update.zip (I have decided to go with the "Ultimate Rom" which is a combination of Doc's and Voodoo's works among others with some added themes.

My question is, is there anything else I need to know ? Do I need to make backup using Rom Manager of my STOCK Rom ?

When I do a "Factory reset", does phone revert to stock Rom ?

Thanks for the awesome work guys.

Could be it is pop email, and you are pulling it on your pc, your pc has set to delete from server after it pulls, so it is not there when your phone checks? Just a guess - since i have no idea if you are talking pop or not.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmfisher:
With JI6, whenever I charge and the phone gets to 100% overnight, the phone stops charging and starts draining even though it is still plugged in with the wall charger.

When I wakeup the phone is either 1. Dead or 2. Reporting 100% charged. When I unplug it and it is reporting 100% charged, it drops to 15% and warns me to charge again.

This is a bad bug. The phone should rely on the wall charger until it is unplugged, leaving the phone with a true 100% charge when unplugged.

This stupid bug caused me to miss my morning alarm. This is the first phone that I've ever had that has done this.

do you know another to sync outlook notes with my phone ?

thx a lot people
[General Topics] N8ter:
Why are you running 64-Bit Outlook.

Microsoft said they don't recommend people run 64-Bit office because Add-Ins don't work, and of course there have been known issues with WMDC/ActiveSync since Office 2010 Beta.

There's no reason to run Office 2010 as a consumer.

You're free to do it if you choose, but no one on this forum will be able to help you with your problem.

Uninstall Office 2010 64-Bit and use the 32-Bit Version.

I have seriously doubt you have the PowerPoint and Excel document sizes large enough to warrant using the 64-Bit version and that's practically the only reason why anyone would install it over the 32-Bit version.
