Wasn't being negative, just posted something that you didn't like.

Apple and Google are more than likely looking at WP7 the same as WebOS.

The thing is you guys act as if the competition will just stay the same. You act as if they wont update.

Just a little piece of what's coming next year:

IPhone 5

IOS5

Nexus 2(not s)

Ipad 2

EVO 2

HTC Knight(maybe the same as EVO 2)

honeycomb

Maybe even cdma iPhone

Galaxy S2

That's just a small part of the competition. I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] froesei:
There's a slight difference between WebOS and MS - cash, and lots of it. Apple and Google knew that WebOS was a long shot, and that it had to succeed very, very quickly, because they knew Palm couldn't withstand losses for very long before they were in real trouble.

Safe to say MS doesn't have that problem. They can afford to take the long view, and they will. There's no possible way that MS won't have a significant presence in the mobile space.

And to be honest, Apple hasn't really updated - not in any sort of appreciable way, and they've paid the price. Steve's stubbornness is detrimental to their OS, and he'd better relent on some of his "True-isms", or they'll continue to pay a price.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
You make some good points, but I'm thinking Microsoft is following the exact same road.

I highly doubt they will have a significant presence in the mobile market. I'm pretty sure they will share the same market as WebOS and Rim.
[Windows Phone 7 General] froesei:
It's possible, but I think it's too early to tell. I think what they're really aiming for is the 80% of the total cell phone market that still uses a feature phone. With those kinds of numbers, they don't need a piece of Google or Apple's pie (pardon the pun).

For what it's worth, a good friend, and longtime iPhone user switched to WP7 after he saw mine. And every other iPhone user I've showed it to has displayed elements of envy. Whether or not it's enough to cause them to switch, is another thing, and as of yet not known.

Regardless, it will be interesting to watch, especially if MS keeps updating and innovating the platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
WP7 is already tons better than WebOS ever was. It has actual developers and an actual app store, supported on phones with big screens and fast processors etc.. not even comparable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
That's another good point. I didn't even look at it from that point of view.

However IOS has become too blah, and IOS 5 or maybe 6 will address this. You can't beat Apple by following the same road.

What's innovative in WP7? When they allow the unreal engine, things will be more interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
That's highly opinionated. However your other points are correct. The Pre2 was a nail in the coffin.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
doesn't rim own like 24% of the smartphone market?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
No.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
That's just one quarter's worth of numbers. RIM still has the most smartphones in use in the US right now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
RIght now? Prove it.

I see what you mean, they were at 40%.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
What you're missing is that the vast majority of the 1.5 million units _sold_ by manufacturers are actually also sold to end-users - as we all know a lot of stockists worldwide are on backorder at the moment.

I personally know several developers (myself being one) that did not get their hands on an actual device until after the six week mark due to low stock locally - this from people across three continents.

Worth mentioning is also that two weeks out of those six there was hardly any stock at all anywhere as manufacturers only part-delivered what was initially ordered from the carriers in Europe and Australia. It was only just before the US launch that they were able to even start meeting demand.

Looking at the raw figures though, compared to the iOS and Android launches, I would say these sales are on par. Of course that's not an entirely fair comparison as more people, overall, are buying smartphones today than they did back then but still.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
I was about to get on you... Its a pretty well known fact that RIM holds the majority stake in the smartphone market. Been that way for awhile now. Don't know how much longer that will be but if WP7 got to that level I think itd be considered a great success.

I've been following several guides to disabling the bloatware and other such apps on my phone however, very few ever actually return a disabled status. Most just return something like [1] killed com.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. I don't understand why most things i try to disable wont be disabled. I am doing this while rooted with Visionary+ R14. I typed SU in terminal to make sure I had root access. I'm at a loss.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7790:
Best thing might be to root and install a custom rom no bloatware

-*Send from lights Glacier-
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
If you use Titanium Backup (Pro verison, EASILY worth the $) you can "freeze" any app you want. It will disable it, remove it from your app drawer, and you won't even know it's there. This is a better option than outright *deleting* things as apps will still be there in the event you would like to upgrade to a newer stock version / OTA that happens to require them.

If newer stock / OTA update aren't your concern, flashing a custom ROM would probably be a better choice since you won't have to worry about deleting the "wrong" app and breaking things inadvertently :)

Simore Sucks

<RANT><VENT>

Bought the Platinum Plus. Had to look online to see how to cut the SIM cards properly. That is the most unnerving step. Checked to make sure both cuts SIMs worked by themselves by placing them in the included plastic jigs and they DID work. Then placed them on the INCREDIBLY FRAGILE dual SIM holder, installed it in the phone and it NEVER worked properly. Supposedly some software (SIM Toolkit) becomes active - didn't for like 4 days. THEN, out of the blue, I see T-Mobile SIM-1 in the Notification area. So now it's working? Able to launch SIM Toolkit and select to change to SIM#2 but phone never resets or reboots or whatever it supposed to do. Just sits there. If I manually reboot THEN SIM#2 shows up and works. Then, again - out of the blue, I start getting popup messages that "You've removed the SIM" or something like that. Attempt to contact Simore for tech support and they suck. You have to create an account on their website, find their support form, fill out the fields and submit. Then wait. Then you get back an automated eMail from an address that they do not monitor, telling you to log back into your account and find their answer, which is not easy to do.

"noreplysupportch@simore.ch

You have received an answer from Simore.

Connect to your account to read it.

Support Simore"

When you do, they simply go through all the standard fixes: reset SIM, restart phone blah blah. I am sure that they being Swiss and me being not Swiss that there is a language barrier but the fact that they make you jump through hoops and essentially ignore your messages and only send out cut-and-paste responses through their POS website makes they too hard to deal with for me.

Nice idea. Poor execution. EXTREMELY FRAGILE Piece of hardware. Crap customer service.

I've had more expensive lessons than that but if you want to take a $80 chance be my guest.

Thanks for that info, yea I've read loads of bad things about simore! Plus they're so expensive!

After doing a bit of research I've ordered a 26th gen magicsim cutting for just £14.99 off a guy on ebay. He seemed super helpful and answered questions like lightning (and also sent me some great instructions showing how to cut my sim) so fingers crossed!!

I'll post my results on here!

If you carry around 2 phones (like me) of have 2 sims (if you travel a lot or have a work sim in the daytime) then you can have both in your phone and switch between them without having to turn off your mobile.

When I try to call I get a "Data network not available" message. I have tried to deactivate 3g connection but calls doesn't work. The mobile is not receiving calls either. However, the SIM Toolkit program is in the SGS menu.

The dual sim is perfectly working in a Nokia 3220 classic. I read this dual sim adapter is compatible with SGS but it seems to me that I'm having a compatibility problem.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I have the Mugen battery THANK GOODNESS or my Streak would be dead in the water ALL THE TIME .. For those of you that have that battery, I get a long time on a charge. It started telling me a few days ago that I had almost nothing left on the battery at the end of the day where it used to last for a few or more days .. I removed the battery when it told me I had nothing left .. Left it out for a minute .. Put it back in and now it says I have a full charge.

This is a list of my running apps from a fresh start ...

Slide It

Zeam

Visual Voicemail

Dell Settings Storage

Fring

Handscent

White Pages w/ Caller ID

Ebay

EM List

LogMaster2

Quick Office

Quick Office

LogService

Package Checker

LOTA

Gallery

Assistant Free

Dell Sync

Gmail

Amazon MP3

Clock

I have ** Advanced Task Manager running ALL THE TIME ... and throughout the day I will click on it to END ALL .. it does but they mysteriously start up again ..

I also have ** Startup Cleaner Pro. I have gone in there and told it which ones to NOT allow .. does no good most of the time.

My Streak is the Beta unit with the Froyo update .. I purchased that 'root' program .. have NO IDEA how to use it actually.

Any thoughts ?? What are your ALWAYS RUNNING apps?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE !!

[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
Amazon Mp3 drives me crazy. I have never used it and see no purpose for it running at all. Quick office... 2 instances? Advanced task manager running at all times?

You need to get an app that will show you the services that will run at boot up. I use ES file manager and ES Task manager. With the task manager, I can go to the services portion and kill what I don't need. There is even a way to set apps like Amazon to stop running at boot and that's what you need to do. Your list below with my comments on each one

Slide It You have Swype, do you need this?

Zeam I use it t0o, with Dell stage no choice, I know

Visual Voicemail another something used as a matter of choice

Dell Settings Storage do you use this? if not, disable

Fring shrug

Handscent another shrug... choice again

White Pages w/ Caller ID do I need to shrug again?

Ebay up to you

EM List system service

LogMaster2 system service

Quick Office doesn't need to run at all unless you're using it

Quick Office doesn't need to run at all unless you're using it

LogService run by system

Package Checker run by system

LOTA run by system (like error reporting in windows)

Gallery only needs to be active when you're using it

Assistant Free do you use it?

Dell Sync do you use that rag software to sync your device? if not, heave ho!

Gmail running if you want your email to always alert you

Amazon MP3 should not be running if you're not using it

Messaging leave it alone if you like texting

Google Search should not be running if not being used

Market should not be running if not being used

Clock app or wiget?

The long and short is this... go through the list with a services app and disable at startup what you don't want running. Also check yourself on the live wallpapers... those use energy.

From what I can tell you is that that's not what he's talking about. The battery is basically 2 batteries linked together. So 2.2 is reading it like this. Did your 2.2 before read it perfectly? Because as another guy said (finding my post on another forum, and as I wrote you a private message but you never answered :P) you cant correctly read the battery readings and 2.2 together.

Hi

I have Google Apps and I have implemented Google's 2nd Factor Authentication.

After wiping the device (to install a new ROM) what is the best way to get back up and running ?

The Google Authenticator App is downloaded from the Market Place but access to the Market requires that you be logged into your account. So it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

I managed to figure it out but it was a long process one that I doubt I could repeat in the same manner.

So, what is the best way to solve this issue ?

Hi guys I'm sure one of you could help me,

I rooted my phone ages to using unrevoked and now I want to update to the official 2.2 update OTA but when I download the update my phone gives me an error (error 7) when I try to install it. It keeps going into ClockworkMod and trying to install the update via that.

Is there a way of completely restoring my phone back to factory settings? I've tried selecting this option in the phone's settings but ClockworkMod is still installed. I want to be able to remove ClockworkMod completely and start again so I can update to the official Froyo.

[Windows Mobile] Steven855:
Can anyone tell me what the latest build (both latest and stable versions please) of the old WM6.5 interface (the one where you need a stylus to use) are? Also, is it somehow possible to turn a WM6.1 (or WM6.0) nk.exe into a WM6.5 nk.exe that can take advantage of slots 60 and 61 without intervention from the OEM (the reason I ask is because I'm cooking for an Asus device which doesn't have an official WM6.5 or later rom)?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You can't turn a 6.1 kernel into a 6.5 kernel; you'll just have to get by with what you have. You could always try playing around with 6.5 kernels from newer devices with similar hardware, but it probably (>99% chance) won't work.
[Windows Mobile] Steven855:
In that case, does anyone know the latest (stable and latest versions) builds of the old WM6.5 interface (the one which you needed a stylus for) are?

21820

Personally, the most stable old version of WM 6.5 that I've played around with is Build 21820. I was able to use to use the kernel from WM6 when cooking a WM6.5.3 ROM somehow. However, doing so your device will be very buggy. I ended up with a WM6.5 "Classic" kinda UI that crashes every once in a while.
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
The advantage of stylus has nothing common with old or newer 6.5 build. I cooked for Asus until 23152 - no difference. Using 6.0 nk.exe also does not cause any problems.

If you mean narrow lines saying "stylus" - just do the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]

"TouchAutoLayout"=dword:00000001

You can also play with

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu]

"MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding"=dword:00000001

"MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding"=dword:00000001

To change the size of free space in Menu items, and standard size of open file dialogue:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\GWE\Commctrl]

"TreeviewExtraItemSpace"=dword:00000001

"TreeviewPlusMinus"=dword:0000000A

Play with parameters in these registry keys and choose the most wanted ones for you.....

This will not affect all the lines and dropdown menu but half of them - will definitely be fixed.

The only tip for your nk.exe - if you have ASUSMisc.dll in your OEMXIPKernel - move it from XIP to IMGFS.

P.S.

****, Steven855 asked his question in December.... My answer is just a waste of time....

:)
[Windows Mobile] Steven855:
No, you're fine. I was waiting (and checking) until someone could give me a definite answer to my questions. Anyway, I'm curios as to why you mentioned ASUSMisc.dll (what does it do, exactly?). Am I moving this to imgfs to increase device performance or is this something that has to do with the nk.exe that can be changed or upgraded? Also, could there be some reason why my Asus A626 (which is a landscape device with native resolution 320x240) has a really slow framerate while in portrait mode, but has a fast framerate in landscape mode? This is a problem with the stock rom as well as any custom roms (so far) that I make. This is really apparent when I use a program that uses both gdi functions and gapi functions (such as pocketgnuboy, where the on-screen v-pad doesn't show in gapi mode, but still registers where I touch the screen). I did find a gxdma.dll in OEMDrivers.
[Windows Mobile] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

BTH of this thread because I can not see definite answer. Could I take any of higher xip's for example 28244 and port it to WM 6.5 not 6.5.x system ?

fxdjacentyfxd
[Windows Mobile] Steven855:
Are you talking about the shell (interface) or the internal parts (like drivers and kernel stuff)?
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
I can not really understand what you mean. What kinda advantage are you waiting from using XIP and SYS that do not match?

And what do you mean by "higher" XIP? Higher than what?

Concerning your question - you can not use 6.5 and 6.5.x components simultaneously - using XIP from 6.5 and SYS from 6.5.x or vice versa will cause unbootable rom.

As I told you - I don't have your model in hands and never cooked for it. I can only describe general Asus-related things.

Moving ASUSMisc.dll to IMGFS reduces OEMXIPKernel size and saving free space in slot0. Besides - ASUSMisc.dll is unmovable module when it's in XIP and you are porting new XIP for your device. That means you should move other modules around it to escape gaps and overlapping.
[Windows Mobile] emo-dudes:
Yes but with bugs. I just experimented.
[Windows Mobile] fxdjacentyfxd:
Thanks. It seems I have to look for any highest ( best ) XIP for WM6.5

Hi.

Maybe "higher" is not good word but what are the reasons there are so many xips ? I guees new functionality is supported, bugs are removed, perhaps stability and speed is improoved too. Thay is why I asked for best xip for WM6.5

I am not going to change SYS in my WM6.5. I only look for best xip.
