[Windows Phone 7 General] water911:
Yes, I am working on a very intensive 2D game with advanced AIs and animations that will eventually go multi-player after socket support and my startup time is about 2-3 seconds, even with a boatload of sprites and a BIG uncompressed wave file. In addition, it runs absolutely smoothly, as I programmed it in XNA, and I was glad to see that the phone ran my code FAR better than the PC emulator (to the point of perfection).

The storage speed is not THAT bad on MicroSDs. It is bad, compared to other things, but horrible initializations and bad code will simply result in long startup times. I haven't even cleaned my code up yet and I am doing it with a partner, so it needs a lot of cleaning up.

Regardless, devs also need to realize that they cannot continue to re-allocate continuously like they do on PCs, as the bytecode interpreter does a clean-up of all the memory on the phone whenever new space is needed. It is sad that developers can't get these things through their thick skulls.

Honestly, I don't know why these programs have such long startup times. I can imagine with a MicroSD and a 3D game with lots of data to load, like Assassin's Creed, there could be a long load, but for some reason simple apps like Facebook and such aren't living up to even mediocre load and run speeds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] williammel:
Yeah, my application also loads completely in about 2 seconds, and in general, most of the apps I have used have been pretty quick. Facebook is probably the biggest exception.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Agree with everyone else, it's due to the devs not knowing what they are doing - which in turn is down to the platform still being new (lots of devs still do not have a device and use only the emulator for testing). I've seen vast improvekents as apps have been updated though, so wouldnt worry about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
In regards to what some people have been saying about Nand vs MicroSD, is there actually that big of a difference?

I'm tossing up between Trophy, HD7 or Omnia 7, so I'd like to know if I'm shooting myself in the foot by buying HTC because I prefer LCD to AMOLED
[Windows Phone 7 General] dccorona:
from my experience, they aren't slow to load (except for games), but they are very slow to resume. If you try to navigate back to one using the back button, or if your screen locks while a third party app is open, it takes quite a while for the app to "resume" to where you left off
[Windows Phone 7 General] manny84:
This a main concern of mine. Apps that would run smoothly on Android like Facebook, IMDB, Last.fm, etc. run slow as molasses on WP7. Hopefully MS starts putting these devs in order or else I'm walking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manny84:
Out of curiosity, why do you prefer LCD over AMOLED?
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
People talk about how high contrast AMOLED is, and that's true - it is. But I find it's oversaturated to a point where nothing looks natural - a photo that displays perfectly well on LCD will look like a horribly photoshopped nightmare on AMOLED.

The main problem for me, though, is color banding.

I can't stand it
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I am sure that it is third party most of the time, Weave (the RSS reader that I use) actually loads up rather quickly and it just went through an update a couple days ago. The update also made the resume time pretty quickly.

Moral of the short story, it depends on the developer most of the time. The quick apps are usually the ones that have been updated recently while the slow ones, haven't. Not the OS problem.

Although, games sometimes load up rather slow based on my experience. Hoping the update improves load times for games by a large margin.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Out of those three apps, the only one running slow is Facebook - which is completely due to the way it's written.

In general, apps are fairly fast both to load and resume now (recently released or updated ones that is). Also, the "January" update comes with memory optimization which further shortens load times (although mostly for games).
[Windows Phone 7 General] captobie:
Just my $0.02, but coming from a Touch Pro 2 ALL the load times seem fast, even Facebook and games. I also have an iPod Touch 4G and my WP7 load times are on par with that.

[Desire HD General] Craig89:
Hello, I just have a quick question about this, is it an update that we will be able to just run on our phones or is it only going to be installed on new phones?

Cheers, Craig
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
We will get it but I doubt it will come straight away.
[Desire HD General] Craig89:
Thanks for the quick reply! I have a rooted DHD, will I be able to update or would I have to unroot. Thanks again
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
once the source code hits the custom ROM dev's will get it ported to the DHD, if the froyo and eclair situations are repeated it will hit your DHD much quicker from them, than the official port

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coppertop4646:
I'm running CM 6.1 so I don't have Sprint VMM and I setup Google Voice using my cell number and went through all the steps to activate Google Voice, I then created a greeting but whenever I call my number and let it go to the voicemail all I get is "Could not complete your call, please try again." The phone I am calling my cell with is not broken or anything like that so I know it's something to do with Google Voice. What am I missing?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
What color did you want it? I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying here.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coppertop4646:
Basically, I setup Google Voice on my cell phone but when I call my cell phone it doesn't go to any voicemail it just says "Could not complete your call, please try again."
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nsandhu23:
What maybe the issue and what was in my case, go to settings call settings and then voice mail number, mine was like *38 but after I put in my number everything fine.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] user7618:
You also need to go to the voice homepage on your pc and activate it there for your phone.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coppertop4646:
On google.com/voice my phone number is listed under "Mobile" and it says it is activated. My number is also correct in the google voice application on my phone but when I call my phone and let it continually ring, it still acts like I have never setup a voicemail and just says "Could not complete your call, please try again."
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] conorsgaffney:
Need some more information.

What is your carrier?

You do have Google Voice set up to send all calls to your cell phone, right?

Did you go to voicemail settings in your phone and change your voicemail provider?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coppertop4646:
Yes it says my voicemail provider is google voice but I think I found the problem. Under Call Settings > Voicemail Settings it says Voicemail Number 9165381466 so I press it to change it and it says "To set up Google Voice as the voicemail provider on your phone you need to enter a special provisioning code." So I dial the code it tells me to dial and everytime I call the provisioning code it connects for 2 seconds then disconnects.

Sprint is my carrier.

And I just want Google Voice to receive the voicemails that people would normally leave on my phone. Basically I just want it to act like Sprint VVM. And I'm running CM6.1 if you're wondering why I just don't use Sprint VVM in the first place. If I can't get voice to work I guess I'll just flash VVM.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kswolf77:
I set mine up to work like that. You only have to call the "provisioning code" once. It is just like forwarding, it sets it up to redirect calls to google voice if you don't answer. I have Sprint, also, and loved the VVM, but google voice works great.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
I know how to fix this I wrote a post on this about a year ago. Sprint voicemail is terrible. This same thing happened to me and i didnt realize people couldnt leave me voicemails for about 2 months lol. Forget the provisioning code it means nothing after you do this. Listen close because heres what you do....

1. Go to google.com/voice on your computer and at the top right it says settings.

2. Highlight settings then click the drop down arrow and select voice settings.

3. The 1st tab says phone/your google voice number, select that and change your google voicemail number.

4. Once you change it, you have to delete google voice from your phone then reinstall it to finish this. Go thru process as normal when setting it up.

5. Now the final step, go to settings on your phone, then CALL settings then make sure voicemail service is set to GOOGLE VOICE, and right under that theres a tab in CALL settings that says VOICEMAIL SETTINGS. Select that and you will see VOICEMAIL NUMBER, press that once and you will get a pop up box that says a bunch of junk just hit ok and open google voice once and it should be done.

Hope this helps you.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coppertop4646:
Ok that worked...thank you. One last question, where do I go to disable the emails that Google Voice sends me everytime I get a voicemail?

Edit: Nevermind I found it

Glad that helped man
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
how do I uninstall clockwork
[Epic 4G General] wjohnson1186:
I believe you just have to reflash a stock rom through odin. It should wipe the phone completely. It has when I have flashed from odin to a stock rom.
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
Roms won't uninstall clockwork...

If you're on di18 you can flash the stock recovery found in the stock di18 rom thread...

Or you can run the epic all in one root and recovery and choose the menu to reinstate the samsung recovery, which uninstalls clockworkmod.

Of course, an odin flash of the di18 stock tar will work too, but will erase all your data on the phone.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
As a final note, next time you have a question, please post it in the Question & Answer thread (it is stickied, so you can't miss it at the top of the first page (a little common sense is all it takes... it's a pity that it has become so uncommon...)

Although in truth, this isn't really development related, so it really belongs in the General section (since it is a question about something that is already developed, as opposed to something still in DEVELOPMENT - see the correlation?) But I'm probably being a little too picky with this second point...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcsinny99:
In light of the controversy over Nexus S I thought I would see what everyone else thought a phone branded Nexus should be. Before anyone gets to crazy, here are the guide lines:

1) who builds it

2) nothing that is not produced or not going to be produced: aka- "Star Wars in true 3D holograms and a transporter from Star Trek" talk about things that DO exsist like 10 megapixel cameras with flash, accepts 32g class 10 cards, front facing camera, roms, android version, etc.

3)Why

4)Try to explain why there is not this device

That's it, build your Nexus fantasy, and question why we can't have it!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaivish:
I believe thats this is just a useless post. U ask people to xplain their fantasies but dont include phones not or never will be built?!

plainly put there is n never will be any ultimate phone since whatever u buy now is obsolete in 2 months.

@ OP

Post something more productive. There are other places u can go to post ur wishes n dreams.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
I'm sorry, but I think you may have misunderstood the point about no Star Trek stuff. Reasonable fantasies would probably be a better way of thinking of it, maybe something you could get within the next few years. Yes, phones will be obsolete within months of release, but as I mentioned in my post, I think software is the real contender in the future, so once you have a decent specced phone, the software can do the rest.

I'm personally interested in what people want from a phone which isn't out already. So if you think this isn't productive, you don't have to read it. I think some good stuff could come out of here, and you never know, Google or HTC could be listening ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dom.l:
1) built by samsung

2)3.8" super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1024x720 for a true HD display and 329 PPI(pixels per inch). a 1.2Ghz dual-core orion processor, Nvidia GPU,samsungs own NFC chip included in the nexus S, 2.3 Gingerbread ,10MP continual Auto-focus camera that can record at 720p, maximum microSD card is 32GB class 6, 16GB on-board storage,unlocked bootloader for easy loading of ROM's,1.3MP front facing camera, hardware camera shutter button, contour display, choice of stock 2.3 launcher or Touchwiz 3.0 launcher.

3) because why shouldnt we have tech this awesome , and if you think about it , most laptops would e obsolete if this were true , along with point and shoot cameras

4)Cost, cost of manufacture , cost of retail, too much R&D would be needed , to many other products would become obsolete, this to would need to be released quickly , or have 3.0 loaded onto it when it becomes readily available.

and can i have it by christmas please santa ??

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcsinny99:


@3) That is my theory as well. But why not fire a shot across the bow of other manufacturers? Set the bar higher and watch them scramble to catch up?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
I have to agree the homescreen doesn't make total use of the space, but I guess it helps make it look less cluttered, however that is personal. What I meant about WP7 was the different approach to apps, specifically the side scrolling nature of everything.

I love watching the reactions of people who look at the HTC 1 concept, every single person I have shown it to so far has just kinda said either I want one now or wow... Rather interesting to see :p

As for the buttons, I am undecided personally. I can see the use of having more, but I am starting to like simpler, less cluttered looks myself. I guess in that respect the Galaxy S International is half ground, having one hard button and two capacitive, which you don't really notice too much if they're not lit up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
1. Does not matter, until it is high quality and not cheap plastic.

2.

- [at least] 4" sAMOLED display (or even IPS) with standard 480x800 resolution

Buttons should be:

- Camera and power on the right side

- Volume on the left side

- Menu, back, home buttons under the screen (preferably touch buttons)

- The latest Tegra2 dual-core CPU what performs at 2GHz max, and the best mobile 3d acceleration too

- High capacity but thin battery (1600mAh)

- 12Mp camera on the back, at least 3.2Mp camera on front (or something like the Adam, a rotate-able camera ontop) with dual xenon-led flash (and of course separate control, so they can be used separately)

- Projector on top part of the phone

- 1024MB RAM, 1024MB ROM(formatted for 512-512MB), dedicated 256MB SWAP, internal 16/32GB memcard, support for SDXC cards (capacity up to 2048GB)

- Bluetooth 3.0, USB 3.0, NFC, WLAN b/g/n, DLNA support, 4G support, USB Host functions

- Android OS of course, bumped with a nice slick UI, made by real designers, not some manufacturer (actually, Samsung is pretty good in these stuffs)

- Open system (no secure bootloader, etc) if you want it

3. Why? Because as a dev phone, developers needs the BEST device to test. If the stuff runs OK on the best, it should run properly on all other. Of course, device spec fragmentation is huge, we can't make all manufacturers to use the same CPU, motherboard, radio part, etc. That's where WinPhone7 failed great.

And also, let's provide something for the money they ask for a "smart phone". My current ZTE Blade knows a lot more than the HTC Legend, but costs half or even third of the money (here in Hungary a Legend costs around 90.000HUF, what is approx. 400-500$. The Blade, while it has more cocoa in it, costs around 200$). That's not right!

4. Why can't we have it?

That's easy. Manufacturers want people to buy their new phone when it comes out. Even if it costs a lot. They won't make an "Ultimate Phone", because then after everyone bought his/her own one, there would be no need of new stocks, and done. This way, they always keep up the interest for a slightly new phone (like Nexus S, a dumber Galaxy S, with Gingerbread), just to earn the highest profit with the lowest cost involved. The manufacturer who makes the "Ultimate Phone" would get rich at first sight, then until something more Ultimate is released, they just don't have income. See what I mean? Manufacturers use the first, big boom to earn back all the money they spent for "improvements" while selling almost the same phones. Just like Samsung as I said, or Nokia (N97 and N97 Mini, N8 and E7), or Sony Ericsson (X10, X10 pro; X10 mini, X10 mini pro; Vivaz, Satio, Vivaz Pro). Slight improvements, huge incomes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
That's definitely a solid reason, and as much as we/consumers don't like it, the big companies will undoubtedly keep doing the same, just to stay in business. Still, I can see it being half possible if a manufacturer like made half-ground or something :)
