Ahh.. That's where we differ. I'm glad you recovered from your error (too bad it happened to begin with). I'm getting the "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" error msg which I am fairly certain means I'm toast. Nothing working so far. I think I'll be testing the new return & $100 credit policy today.

[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
One of the key features i loved with Windows Mobile was i could manage files and download files from the web with ease. i could download pictures, mp3's, zip folders, rar folders and extract the files all on the phone without being dependent on a computer.

Now i recently had a chance to try to download a mp3 file that i uploading on a hosting site and when i clicked download the mp3 i was trying to download began playing in the browser but i could not locate it on the device. What happens when u try to download pictures, mp3s , zip and rar files on wp7? i know theres no file manager but u are able to save pictures from what ive read so why cant we save mp3s and add it to the zune library on the phone? what happens with the zip and rar files? and if u are able to download zip and rar then maybe we can get some kind of pocketrar or something

is it any chance of a limited file explorer being made that just gives u access to files downloaded from the web without giving access to the phones files and registry settings that they dont want us tampering with?

this is a huge issue along with the usb mass storage mode and multitasking that i really hope they add support for in the future
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
Lol, I posted the same thing a week ago. So far all I found is you can save pictures to your phone. MP3's download and start to play in Zune, but they aren't saved. Same thing for videos I tried to download. Tried to download a zipped mixtape. No Go!
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
i hope they address this some kind of way because i do this 90% of the time now on my touch pro 2
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
it will unzip standard zip files but I don't know about the rest of the compressed files.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
so u saying i can download a zip folder of mp3s and that will work? where will the files go will they add to ur library
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
how to download file in WP7? where do those files go? WP7 does not have file explorer, do those files would go to nowhere, no way to view them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
Didn't work for me. Matter of fact it said WP7 doesn't support zip files when I tried to dl a mixtape.
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
when install app from marketplace, where did those downloads go? are those save to phone at installation, cabs or xap. what happended to the files?

also, if I download files, music, pictures, videos, pdf, where would they go? how to download them to pc?
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
Like I said when I dl music, The Zune player opens up and plays the song. Video same thing. It opens the file just like on your computer when you select open instead of save. That's it. I was able to save pictures. They go with the other pictures on my phone. PDF go in Adobe Reader, but the must delete after you read them unless you save them(?). I get them everyday and read but I've never deleted them but they are gone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
internet exploere does have any featue to download files, even picture.

suppose it is possible to download files, where would the files go? how to find them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
If you select a picture on a webpage, you hold down on it and the save option comes up. That's all I've found. You keep asking. Everything I've tried doesn't download. IE buffers it then plays it. Like Netflix does! You watch a movie but it's not on your phone or computer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halabeaster54:
Yea that was a killer for me that's why I use my mytouch 4g now and because the brower is so slow
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
played with this further. After downloading zip of 2 songs, it did unzip them and allowed them to be played, but it would not save them to the phone as far as I could tell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
I just tried a pdf, it downloade and open in adobe reader, but it is never saved to phone.

this is a big problem for WP7. cannot load files to phone except music and videos.

how to take out the files in word and one note mobile? i save some files and could not take them out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 001mic:
As for pdfs and pictures its not true.

Those two can be saved and opened in the pictures hub and the adobe pdf app.

I don't think its a huge problem but I would also like it to be "fixed". Maybe Microsoft want to prevent that users are buying music at amazon or other stores than zune?

Edit: And for getting office stuff or pdfs out of the phone: you can email it to you... (not the best solution i know)
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
is it impossible to make a file explorer app for the marketplace that only gives u access to storage space on the memory card and not to the phones file system? that way you can manage files through the alotted space on the memory card adding songs to zune and pdf files zip folders and other kinds of files? that way saving files would be no problem and ur not screwing with the phones file system would microsoft go for a app like this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
pdf save in picture hub? i dont see it anywhere. you cant even email it to yourself if you cant find the file.

it is not saved it the file system. I tried to put the phone into usb mode, just see what files in pictures, and music folder. pdf is not there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Guys,

Pdf is AUTOMATICALLY saved to the phone once opened from email or website.

You just need AdobeReader and files can be browsed and deleted from the app.

To be honest. Ive tried some of the other ways. I find the droid overclock by Jrummy is the best thing out there period. Because it does so much for than a normal overclocker. Give it a try. Honestly its the best thing out there.

Are you talking about Jrummy's app or his script? The script is included in Fission and it's really easy to use from terminal emulator. If you have it on your phone you just run:

Hi all,

I am developing an Android app that has a main screen and a subscreen (called from main screen). When I install the App on my phone, two icons are created: one for the main screen and one for the subactivity. I would like to have just the one icon installed (for the main screen).

Any recommendations on how to prevent the subactivity icon from being installed?

Verizon is getting ready to launch the HTC Thunderbolt/Incredible HD, which is an androidd phone with a front facing camera (basically verizons version of the Evo).

I know they have the trophy and a couple other wp7 devices on the way but i wanted to know will there be any devices with a front facing camera? is Windows Phone 7 capable of using a front facing camera? since the launch of iphone 4, the newest ipod touch and the evo, the front facing Camera has been the latest craze in cell phone features, im currently eyeing the HTC 7 Pro if verizon gets it in January but if they will have future phones and wp7 is capable of handling a front facing camera i may consider waiting. I havent seen anything about wp7 and front facing cameras so i was curious is this was even possible with wp7
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbetts:
I don't see why not really. Just a matter of getting drivers setup for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omega Ra:
I remember reading somewhere (don't remember where) about a portrait camera mentioned in the code somewhere, so yes, in theory is hould support them, it is up to the OEM's to put them in.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
What good would it be if there's no software/apps supporting it? Until it's added to MS'es minimum hardware standard for WP7, it would be pretty pointless having one on a device. This is the problem with the minimum standard approach...it's too minimum to seriously compete with other devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Then get an Android device and have fun complaining about how 95% of the people you know can't video chat with you anyways.

The hardware specs have to be reasonably minimum. OEM that want to make and sell an awesome phone can and will go above the minimum.

Android has no minimum specs and that creates obvious issues. You act like the grass is greener there.

Furthermore even if they did have them on first Gen devices they'd probably be VGA front came, which are about as good as not having one at all IMO...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
No they won't and neither will the available apps support it. What's the iP4 minimum spec?

Were you referring to me? I said nothing about Android.

What type of front cam are you expecting? Video chat is only going to support a very small resolution. VGA is more than enough.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
The i4 minimum and maximum spec is what Apple designed into the phone. iPhone is one phone model from basically one manufacturer.

I like how you asked about that phone particularly, though. Apple has always maintained one device for all of its touch devices (iTouch and iPhone). Microsoft has minimum specs, but the manufacturers can go above it if they want. Most of hte phones went with minimum specs because it's a new platform and OEMs want to test the water.

Can you blame them? No. Android didn't come out the gate with 6+ phones on several carriers, AFAIK, and it was facing many of the same hurdles that Microsoft is facing with WP7. The only difference is that Microsoft is going about it in a more organized and sane fashion than Google did (Google just cares about getting Android on as many phones as possible, user experience has always been secondary).

You inferred Android and iOS when you insinuated they wouldn't be able to compete with the current minimum specs. You don't have to say it, most people can read between the lines.

Some devices have 1.3 MegaPixel front cams. On an HSPA+, WiMax, or 4G LTE connection the network can more than handle video conferencing at that resolution. VGA sensors are notoriously bad in low light situations (unless the device does some post processing magic).

They simply aren't that good, especially when they can take the place of something that ads value as well like a LED indicator (with different colors), etc. VGA quality is just bad. It's bad no a 6+ mbps home internet connection, and it's bad on a cell phone.

Furtherore, 90% of phones don't have a front cam (at least in the US), so they are still more of a novelty feature than something that is required or should even be expected.

A good example is the Nexus S, which has no LED indicator light, and had to shed HD video recording to make room for the NFC chip. Since most people want thinner, lighter phones. It ultimately means the phones have less room in them, so concessions have to be made.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordcanti86:
I think the OS can support FFCs, but until these video chat networks become more popular and are more fleshed out I don't see a need to rush it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
@N8ter:

Again, having a minimum spec leads to all of the apps supporting mainly the minimum spec devices. This happened with WVGA, accelerometers, extra RAM, and FFC's on WM devices. No matter how many devices WP7 or Android has, they are ALL competing with one iP4. The iP4 minimum spec (it's only spec) is pretty much cutting edge.

Because companies (especially Android and MS) seem to be run by accountants (as opposed to smartphone enthusiasts and designers), I don't expect many to try and go above the minimum standard. Even if they do, refer to my first paragraph.

Video calling dictates a certain resolution regardless of the camera you're using. There won't be any 1.3MP video conferencing for a while (bandwidth limitations). And besides, megapixels DO NOT improve picture quality. This is a popular misconception about camera quality.

Maybe you're in a different country/carrier but the video resolution is dictated by the carrier, not the device. So no mater how many MP you camera has, the carrier specifies it's video chat resolution.

When 4G actually becomes standard and carriers stop charging an arm and a leg for it, video chat will take off.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
everyone shut it about android... the person asked a question about front facing cameras... the answer is, at present they aren't supported but given how times are changing i would expect them to come for windows phone 8 (though this is still another 2 years away, so hopefully MS relaxes a bit and we see them earlier then that).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
n8ter, i think you misunderstood the lead in sentances about what is available, and what will shortly available. it didn't read like a slam on wp7, or promoting android phones. you might be more sensitive in that area than needed ?

i'm very curious about if/when wp7 devices will have video calling. having a 3 way communication between an android, iphone, and wp7 would be such an awesome achievement technically speaking.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
WP7 doesn't support front facing cameras. As someone stated earlier maybe in WP8, or hopefully the Mango Update.

Another thing, you guys keep mentioning WP7 Minimum Specs, but you never mention the Restrictions. OEM's can't do a lot of stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
I didn't misunderstand anything.

I'm just calling a spade a spade.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
You have no idea what WP7 supports, because you don't have access to Microsoft's repositories or a list of the device drivers they have written. It's totally possible that the OS supports FFC (i.e. has drivers written) but there is no phone with the hardware and no Applications to take advantage of it.

Putting a FFC in a phone comes at a price. Monetarily and sometimes it can degrade the quality of the back camera in addition to requiring the OEM to remove something else in the device to make room for that FFC.

No one but a Microsoft WP7 driver dev can confirm or deny what hardware the OS supports. Anything else is pure speculation.

Asking if the OS supports FFC is a bad question. The question should be:

"When will a WP7 device with a FFC be released?"

Because whether or not it can support a FFC is irrelevant as long as there are no devices out there with FFCs in them.

When the devices with FFCs are released, rest assured that Microsoft will have written the drivers for it, and it will work as expected.

And with them releasing Lync with WP7 soon, expect these devices to start propping up probably in the first half of next year, if not the first quarter.

Video Conferencing is a major feature of Lync (the next version of Office Communicator).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
In all honesty, what on earth do you want a front-facing camera for?

I remember a few years back having an HTC Tytn with a FFC, and I made one video call with it. The video was really awful quality, about 1 frame per second, and I could hardly see what was going on on the other end. To top it all, the call cost me £3.00 (50p per minute) and that call wasn't even included in my free call plan so it was added to my bill.

Video calling is an overpriced pile of crap and I cannot for the life of me see why anyone would want to use it.

Do you know how many times my friends and family have asked me if I can take video calls in the last 5 years? Never. There's a reason for that, and before you say it, it's not due to a lack of friends and family! ;)

It's a rubbish technology looking for idiot customers with deep pockets.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ut0p1a:
Absolutely right! I have TP2 with front camera. Only once did I use it in the last 2 years. It is not worth it at all. Plus I have to clean the dirt off the lense area, and it is a pain in the butt.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Well Carriers don't charge for the type of video calling that Jim Coleman is talking about. It works over you data connection.

But he's right, it's not a priority because hardly anyone uses it, or even wants to use it. Only a few first party IM clients support it, it's a ridiculous battery drain, and for all practical purposes it's simply inconvenient.

Don't want to have to stare at a phone screen and hold my phone a certain way for half of my phone calls. Thanks but no thanks...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untrueparadox:
i can say that it was probably added onto the windows 7 phone platform and then dropped right before they put out the final specs. the LG panther, first win7phone didnt have it but the Samsung Taylor did. the front camera doesnt do anything on my taylor on the release version, but i suspect that it might be a future spec.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Stop misusing the word spec.

Microsoft will not make a front-facing camera a required feature in WP7, at least not anytime soon.

They do, however, need to make LED indicator lights a required feature.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fb401:
Are you sure the Panther doesn't have it? I have 3 "holes" above the display and of course one of them is the proximity sensor. I don't know what the other 2 are for and obviously there isn't any software out there to test this.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zedox:
