Apple iPhone (2007): 1,000,000 in 74 days, one phone in one country

Google G1 (2008): 600.000 in two months, one phone in two countries

Palm Pre (2009): 300,000 in one month, one phone in one country

WP7 (2010): 300,000 (?) in one month, 9 phones worldwide

Yes, it's a flop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Opposite reason.

WM 6.5.5 Energy ROM was great to me on my FUZE, I have had no problems with it (Lags, freezes etc.). The things I like about 6.5.5 I find missing in WP7. For that reason, I won't switch to WP7 until I actually see the results of the next couple of releases.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
hahaha.. the amount of devices is irrelevent when the marketshare doesn't grow per device available. (hd tv sales didn't multiply by 10 just because there were 10 different tvs on the market)

and where did you pull this 300k number from?
[Windows Phone 7 General] imaginarynumber:
I'd imagine that M$ are less than happy with the sales thus far.

I know loads of people that want a WP but are not willing until M$ "finish making it".

I have been out of contract since June but I am holding out for the HTC pro 7 and copy'n'paste and most importantly- tethering.

It strikes me that part of the problem with dumbing down the OS in the name of mass appeal is the masses are only interested in the amount of apps in the app store.

If the above is correct then I guess ownership will increase in line with the increase in apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
The amount of countries is and the year, too.

150,000 Facebook users after one month, times 2 (assuming 50% of people log in to Facebook with their Windows Phone 7 phone).
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
is what? most countries and carriers only offered 2 phones available in stock and a 3rd perpetually on back order. In most cases only having one device available for resale in volume.

50% attach rate to facebook would be amazing and a huge success for everyone involved.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
what exacty is dumbed down? sure, its not 100% polished, but dumbed down?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
That's not true. They were widely available across Europe only a few days after launch. The rumors about limited stock were bogus. Some stores only had two or three devices, but they didn't get sold. That's a flop by any measure.

There are 57 million iPhone users on Facebook, that's more than 50% of them.

Oh come on. This hardly deserves to be called a smartphone OS and you know that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
And you have proof of this how?

in the US alone i couldn't get ahold of an LG or focus during launch week.

Not if you include ipad/itouch devices..

Now you're just being ignorant and silly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
Oh yes that's what I am... not.

So what? If only 20% of users log in to Facebook, that still makes less than a million WP7 phones sold in one and a half months, which is still a flop by any measure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
a flap only in your eyes :rolleyes:

A success considering the crappy economy, a single carrier, a pricey phone with 2 year contract and a holiday season full of stiff competition.

My so called dumb wp7 smartphone does 720p video, takes 5mp pics, uploads to the cloud to save images, integrates with facebook, has a single hub for all my contacts, does netflix fantastically, has twitter/facebook/shazam/seesmic/IMDB/fandango apps, plays games, integrates with my xbox live gamertag is fast, snappy and best of all works as a phone all day long. No dropped calls, no terrible battery life, great voice/speaker quality. Its hardly a flop.

If anything WP7 reflects realistic market conditions rather than fanatic brand obsessed markets.. a year from now we'll all be laughing abnout this anyway still trying to call MS a failure just because thats all you know :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
Measured against overall smartphone sales, WP7 is the slowest selling OS of the last four years. Sorry, but that's what I call a flop.

The economy has been far worse when Android launched, the G1, iPhone and Pre all were only on one carrier in one or two countries, whereas WP7 is available in many countries on much better hardware and still nobody's buying it.

Your phone doesn't even let you load your files onto it. How lame is that? No wonder nobody's buying this, after all, people want their files. WP7 is a flop both technologically and in terms of sales.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
Hahaha loading pics? seriously? Let me tell you something. I went to ATT, bought my focus, plugged in my windows live id and integrated my flickr and facebook ID with WL id and voila, 10+ years of digital photography was on my phone without me having to "load it".. Its called the Images hub and it works great and it continually integrates with services that can extend that hub. Pretty "smart" eh :)

BTW, until numbers are produced, you're guess is just a guess tarnished with spite and nothing else. I'm quite intrigued where this obsessive ms hate comes from!
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I think the point about there being more smartphone OS's to choose from is valid. When iPhone launched it was the only one of its kind. A simple UI for non-business users that was cool, had a big ass screen, and built in iPod, I remember how "cool" everyone who had one felt.

Android came out and the only real competitor was iPhone. But you couldn't get an iPhone on the other 3 networks so tmobile opted to get a G1 on contract instead of buying a used iPhone and unlocking it.

Now let's look at what WP7 has to contend with:

1) iPhone which people love, has a simple UI, and orders of magnitude more apps available than WP7, not to mention the "cool" factor. Everyone knows there's going to be a CDMA iPhone so that is going to really take away from WP7 sales IMO because now people can get their iPhone on a decent network.

2) Android phones on EVERY network, very popular right now and getting more popular by the day. Has had almost 3 years to polish up the OS and has more UI options like Live Wallpapers, Launchers, etc... and tons more apps than WP7.

3) MS already has a bad name in the mobile world for having phones that "lag, are hard to figure out, for business users only" etc... so they are fighting that as well.

4) Advertising - IMO the ads are horrible. They showcase that supposedly iPhone and Android users have to spend more time on their phones because they don't have those big ass tiles? Come on, show us more features of the phone.

5) No front facing camera on any phone is a killer IMO, look at the iPhone 4, the Evo, Epic, MT4G, Nexus S. It's the new trend and people are liking it a lot. I am willing to bet we are going to be FLOODED with VZW Facetime over LTE ads which will crush these amazingly stupid dude jumping out of an airplane and can supposedly open his camera app like one second faster than an iPhone or Android could type ads.

For these reasons it is going to be hard for MS, they are going to lose more $ than they make and will have to keep their head above water till there are much more apps and some of these missing features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
not so sure.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2140...0_to_1_against_android_iphone_study_says.html
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
I said files, not pics. Don't be silly.

More numbers: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2140...0_to_1_against_android_iphone_study_says.html

You can do the math. Find out how many Android and iPhone users there are and take that times 0.0045.

Oh, come on! MS hate? Really? WP7 a ****ty OS, plain and simple. That doesn't say anything about the rest of Microsoft's products - Windows 7 for example is great.

[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Hello

Perhaps a silly question, but are the nandroid files that are stored in the nandroid folder on the SD-card, the only files that nandroid needs to put back a back up?

I want to perform a second backup without loosing my first backup (taken just after rooting).

Thank you in advance,

Erwin
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
You can perform as many backups as you like
[Wildfire General] eskeyy:
Each backup has a different name, do not overwrite the previous
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Thank you both for your responses!

So I ca assume it is safe to store the nandroid backup files on my computer in order to save space on my SD-card?

[Streak 5 General] luxubuok:
i bought a dell streak (full price) from BestBuy usa. Then i returned to VietNam. But i can't use my streak because it requires unlock code. I tried to contact with many code provider, but they said that my unlock code is not found. they asked me to contact with dell to get information.

today i called for dell, at&t and bestbuy. But i were very disappointed. they said that can not to find unlock code for me. i'm look like a unlucky guy. because they got some problems with my dell streak. they request me to give my streak back for them to check in 30 days. you know, i live in vietnam and i can't fly to usa just to give streak back for them. it's not fair because i paid full price for that thing.

Now i got pda streak without phone. I don't know what I have to do with it. I took much time for it, but i got nothing. It's not fair.
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
There are many websites where you can purchase unlock codes.

Fairly pricey, but a reliable website (or so i've heard) - http://www.unlockallcellular.com/dell-streak-unlock-code-p-62157.html?affiliate_id=1239
[Streak 5 General] david032766:
I called AT&T and they gave me my unlock code
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
My Streak is in the same situation. I purchased an used one from ebay, DELL claimed it's beta test one based on the service code that I provided. It works with AT&T sim card, but not T-Mobile, which I am using now. AT&T CR said no unlock code for my IMEI number.
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:
PM me your EMIE # and I'll see if I can get AT&T to provide me the unlock code for your Streak. They are pretty nice to me(could be the business account)
[Streak 5 General] Joat79:
I agree, there are some phones that ATT has on the "no questions asked" SIM unlock, and the streak should be one especially since they don't even carry it. All I did was call 611 (customer support), and said I was going out of the country on business and needed an unlock code so I could use a prepaid SIM card and they gave it to me no questions asked. They do need your IMEI as previously stated, but after that, they should give it up like a cheap prom date!
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I'm having the same problem at the moment. I've unlocked 2 black streaks by calling AT&T. But when I called to unlock my white Streak, they told me that their system tells them that there is no unlock code available :(

I can use it with a Rebelsim though and since Steve has started releasing his froyo builds with the old baseband, there's no real need to unlock at the moment.
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
Hi, I just sent my Dell Streak IMEI number. Could you please try to see if you can get unlock code for me. Thanks a lot!
[Streak 5 General] luxubuok:
Who can help me?

[Galaxy Tab General] pbruck:
OK.

I have read the Accessories Posts, but didnt found an Solution for this.

I own an 5000mah Power Bank with USB Connectors.

Output 1A.

So, as you Guys know, if i connect such Device via USB-Data Cable it is detected by Tab as "PC-connected" and the Tab does not charge. If Tab is off, it charges quick and i am able to charge it with one Power Bank Load 1 1/2 Time.

And with my Galaxy S it works also if the Phone is on.

So my Question.

Is there any Tweak, Trick or Mod to enable the Tab to Charge it this Way?

Is it possible to modify some System settings to bring it work?
[Galaxy Tab General] TarjeiB:
Have you checked in settings, if the battery charge doesn't go up?

It will charge using any current (even 300mA) only slower. The icon on the battery just says "I'm not connected to my proper charger", not "I'm not charging".

On JM6 and JMA the icon is also a bit better and show's it's charging but not full speed :) But charge rate is same as before.
[Galaxy Tab General] pbruck:
Yes.

I am also using Battery Pro that displays me an Icon with Battery Load in Percent.

But the Tab doesnt charge.

Load of Akku decreases.

Yes. (Having JMA) the Stock Icon displays that an Power source is connected but still doesnt charge at all.

My Hope was, that anyone with Programming/Coding Skills is able to bring the Charging to work.

I am not nearly able to do this :confused:

I find it absolutely bad, that Samsung has made this incision to the usability of the Tab.

On my Galaxy S i can change with the same Power Bank in Operation without any Problems.

Very Pity that the Tab does not :(
[Galaxy Tab General] rahulhunt007:
Hi Pbruck, which power pack are you using & what's the specification for it. can you provide me with the model no.? Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] pbruck:
Hi,

i use this:

[Galaxy Tab General] schmolch:
It says "1A (2x usb)" so you need to use 2 ports to get to the 1A.

There is no programming or modding necessary, the tab charges from anything that is powerfull enough and your crappy cheap charger is not (im just teasing you cause i ordered things from pearl before and all they sell is junk).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Ahsan:
Hello! I bought a used Desire a month ago & the reason I got it on cheap price was that Its Volume Up & Down buttons didn't function.

I rooted it using Automated unRevoked3 ( not needing Vol Up/Down ) & installed CyanogenMod 6.1 but then I reverted back using my backed up ROM manager. I got my android 2.2 back but then I installed Gingerbread theme. Now the phone boots & displays HTC quietly brilliant again & again not processing further. The only thing I am able to access is Power + back button bootloader menu but unable to use Vol. up & down buttons to select the recovery. The phone also get connected through USB showing HBOOT USB & FASTBOOT USB.

I downloaded the official untouched RUU & tried to flash while in bootloader but no result. I tried various PB99IMG.zip but fastboot says no or wrong image.

now I am still getting quietly brilliant screen again & again.

Please Help!

Am having following on my phone.

HBOOT-0.93.0001

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Android ver. 2.33
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tramane:
I had the same issue

My phone would not boot past the alltel image

I ended up having to go into recovery mode and push the proper build.prop through adb.

After pushing the build.prop I figured out that I was flashing a GSM rom to my CDMA Desire.

I flashed the latest CDMA CM6 and was able to boot.

Then I flashed MIUI CDMA version
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tramane:
This is also the reason I created a post for the Mods to create a GSM Desire and CDMA Desire subforum.

Becuase a lot of people will end up having this same issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Ahsan:
but in my case I am stuck with non functioning Vol. up/down buttons. Is there any software which can do an automated job for me while I am in bootloader & connected to phone through USB to Windows/Linux.

or else I have to take my phone for repairs of the volume buttons.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Ahsan:
Finally my phone is back in working condition. Got the Volume buttons working by short circuiting them as they were unrepairable.

[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
Anybody has any idea if it's known issue. My phone just shuts down as soon as I connect USB cable to it. Be it charger or car charger. It shuts down regardless what condition phone is in (i.e. booting, fully booted, at ATT logo screen during boot). It just immediately shuts down as soon as detect USB current.

After 15 or so tries so far it accepted USB charge finally and does not show this symptoms anymore. But this happens couple of times a month to me.

I noticed that USB socket is loose on a phone, that is it can rotate along axis about 15% both ways. Is it normal for Captivate or it's possible loose contacts on motherboard?
[Captivate General] polarbee:
I'm really sure the socket isn't supposed to have any give whatsoever.
[Captivate General] zombie.raised:
Did you find a solution to this, I am seeing this now and I have 3 chargers home/car/work and all show same behavior. So if this is socket issue I am assuming it is my phone....

Please let me know if you found any solution...
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
My phone was replaced but issue still remains. It appears have something to do with battery and battery connector to the phone. Remove and reinsert battery couple of times and issue will go away.
[Captivate General] Picsman:
On my Captivate, the USB (mini B) socket is absolutely firm relative to the outer shell of the phone. If that puppy has got any movement, I'd bet a buck or two there's a loose connection at the main board.
[Captivate General] cooldog27:
Captivate dies when plugged in

I just bought a captivate from ebay and it will not charge or sync either instantly dies ive tried two different chargers and even looked and soilder joints for usb anyone know what to do???
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
Contact the seller and return it.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
A wrong battery can cause this. I bought a battery for Verizon Facinate. Although it is the same exact shape and size, the model # of the battery is slightly different in last two letters. And it will shut down the phone whenever I try to charge it. Switched to a Sprint Epic battery and all works fine. Obviously, Facinate belong to a familiy of Galaxy S i5xx, not i9000.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
for starters you could browse this thread "[REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks", if no satisfying solution is provided there, then:

- one option is to use different music player, e.g. Nitrogen (free) or Pocket Player ($$$)

- another to set folders you don't want to see as hidden in file explorer - but the you will not see them in other apps should the need happen,

- finally, you can edit the registry to exclude unwanted folders in the way described here - works for me, at least for the folders on SD Card
