I don't recognise the asertion that you have to tinker with the HD2 to get it to work.

I only ever run stock roms, not had an issue with any of them, they just work.

I don't want animations that seem to take forever or somehow give me travelsickness (thank you htc hub), I like that in WM6.5 I tap on a shortcut and the program starts, I tap on the program grid and it appears straight away. I don't have to wait for things to flip over or spin round.

I like that on WM6.5 I can have a wallpaper to brighten my day whenever I use my phone, I do really like that android has live wallpapers (I have fish swimming around my phone).

I also like that I've got so much integration with exchange.

The CEO of one of my clients likes how he can use WinMo to synchronise his work contacts and calender entries with his home PC's Outlook just by plugging his phone in. He's not techie but he has no problems with WinMo and certainly hasn't done any tweaks. Thankfully he's techie enough to understand the dangers of the cloud so certainly won't be going for WP7.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
What do you mean by "dangers of the cloud" something like big brother? I guess that is a concern if theres something to hide but I guess thats not me. I love the HD2 but definitely not stock, I liked the vanilla that looked similar to zune player but even then the keyboard was just awful without swype going into menus without a stylus was terrible unless you have the hands of a three-year-old, and it still seemed slow to react. As for wallpapers it doesnt concern me, I have a lockscreen of my son that does fine because if im on my phone im seldom on the homescreen. I feel windows mobile was just intended for a stylus and through our community here we made it something better but certainly not flawless. Also, I've never even had to plug in to sync my contacts. Between past phones with google and microsoft and a couple facebook contacts I've got all the people I need and then some. I just feel android is intended for low end devices and WM6.5 was a stylus phone rather than a finger friendly phone regardless of the hardware.

All in all, WM6.5 was the last bastion of free and personal mobile OS, which many have failed to embrace (and really, who can blame them?). From here on out, it'll be like Orwell's 1984 and every person will be tagged with an RFID in a form of their mobile phone. Resistance is futile...

GET TO THAA CHOOPPPPAAAA!!!
[General Topics] xaccers:
With MS3.5 WM becomes the most finger friendly phone I've used.

From the sounds of things, you don't use a phone for much, so I can see the appeal of WP7 for you.

The issue with the cloud is not MS poking around but some hacker. MS is a much larger target than my clients' own servers. They cannot risk their data in the hands of an entity which they have no control over and no SLA with.

MS has a history of poor security, both regards to hacking and data redundancy, look at the user data they lost without having backups. It is not plausible to expect businesses to expose themselves to such risks.

If someone hacks in and gets access to your data, then it's no big deal, someone hacks into my clients' data and companies can go bust, court cases get dismissed, generally not good.

I run my own exchange server so have no need to sync with a desktop, but for those who want to be able to sync their work mailbox data with their home computer it was an excellent secure business feature.

Funny you should mention swype, I've never needed it on winmo, but on Android (and WP7 if I ever was forced to use one longer than 5 minutes) I've installed it simply because the stock keyboard (pretty much identical to WP7's) is vile.

Why should I have to flip to a different overlay to enter numbers when it has the function of longpress?

Don't forget new phones which detect the stock rom isn't being run so hard reset to it.

I dont use my business phone for much, so its perfect for that. My fun phone is an HD2 where I do my tinkering and such. Even when I run WM on it which is most of the time I theme it like WP7, it's just more fluid. I love all the additional features but I still cant find a keyboard on it that can keep up as well as the Samsung Focus' keyboard... I mean I guess it's different user to user but I could never use a stock HD2, it just doesnt work well for me.

You got to be kidding right, linux hands down eats windows for breakfast and then some. Linux has no limits (well almost), yeah its complicated but anything good is.

I used WinMo 6.5 for about a year and I found it good, but definitely not good enough out of the box. Very customizable though.

I just got Android and I like it, out of the box very good with alot of potential.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
That'd likely be the case if there was more support for it or even if they would make a few games for it because WINE doesnt emulate too much... Theres a severe lack of aplications for it and thats its biggest fault. Android might be usable out of the box but its not pretty and compared to iOS/WP7 its laggy...
[General Topics] ErOR22:
There is support for Linux, Ubuntu offers some professional support but main support is Internet/Community. Linux is not focused on gaming and this isn't mobile world where number of applications determine how good a OS is ?? (I never get that... OMG iphone has 500000 apps....like who cares, most are crap anyway).

In terms of what the OS is able to do, Linux wins, can Windows kernel be modified? No, it's not open source. Imagine Linux as a canvas which you can freely paint on and Windows as a small circle on the canvas which you can't paint outside of.

I got Desire HD and Android looks great with Sense and there's zero lag anywhere, and it's totally stock. iOS is horrid and WP7 I haven't used/seen yet.
[General Topics] xaccers:
I wonder if the transitions/animations in WP7 is actually there to hide the lag because they're bloody long winded and I'd need an option to turn them off to get it to my HD2's level.

Had another disappointment with android today, sent myself an email with a phone number, opened it in android an no obvious option to dial the number (hopefully someone will pop on and say there's a setting or a knack) so rebooted to wm and just tapped the number in the email.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
No, I know. I love linux as an OS but its almost unusable in its original form whether you go with ubuntu, or fedora, or some other distro stock windows is better. Linux is amazing if you have time to tinker but certainly not something for business people who want to get a job done. In regards to the desire HD I personally thing that sense was an abomination of an overlay but thats just personal opinion. and before I had windows phone 7 I thought android had no lag too whether it be on my nexus one, my HD2, or one of my other devices but once I played with GPU accelerated hardware android juust seemed kind of choppy...

Years ago I have seen a x86 virtual machine written entirely in java running windos xp on a nikia comunicator: the only drawback is performance that was stated to be 30% of processor power available to the guest operating system ( keep in mind what is the speed of a cellphone processor). This makes it theoretically possible, but on the other side you have to increase system resources in order to run an extra os environment that can be usable, and more resources mean higher price

About your link lg is only working to create an android virtual machine in order to have an isolated enterprise environment on the phone, and not a fully working virtual machine host for others OSes

Anyone using this? It's nice because it gives the real-time walkie talkie convenience of pinging someone, assuming it doesn't have connection issues.

Tried that but I can't get hardware accel to work.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Did you update it? The one in the market normally will want to update to a version that works with our processor type. If yours did not I think you can download and install from the website. I have checked the hardware button and mine sticks when it did not used to with the old version.

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
If it plays does it play ok? If it does then why does it matter if it is hardware or software mode? MKV is hard to play as it is which is why I convert them. The players will get better, just need to give them some time.

ahhh more confusion...

so if i put a dvd into my computer and convert it to mp4 is this the best to play on a stock gtablet? will quality be fair -good -great?

[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
The Flash problem is easily solved. Go to the FAQ thread and follow the instructions to install the correct Flash plugin. It works fine.

As for video the best codec for quality seems to be .mp4 in my opinion. .avi files work well too.

to accurately evaluating our Folio with a ElocityA7 running 800x480, i made some video driver changes, so i had a Folio running only 800x480.

Normal resolution

FolioMod 1.3c 1024x600

GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 2089 Frames (18.5 Fps)

Hacked

FolioMod 1.3c 800x480

( NvGrFbDevOpen: Opened fb0 on disp 0 size 800x480 format 1 rate 77.000000 )

GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 2822 Frames (25.0 Fps)

GLBenchmark 2.0 PRO : 2661 Frames (53.2 Fps)

ElocityA7 800x480

GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 3057 Frames (27.1 Fps)

GLBenchmark 2.0 PRO : 2677 Frames (53.5 Fps)

The test shows us that our hardware does perform quite well, if the resolution is lowered and the same resolution gives similar results.

So prediction will be that any new 10" 1024x600 device will be faster with 3D games on tegra2, than a tegra2 device running 1280x720 which is said that motorola xoom will have.

Motorola might receive bad reviews due to the large resolution, and tegra2 performing less good compared to early tegra2 platforms.

And if Nvidia improves drivers, we can only benefit from this on folio100..

Remember this, when a tool such a GLBenchmark.com is used on our folio.

However, I can't seem to find the correct code for those settings. I've been digging around in the source code and still no luck.

Does anyone know what is used to adjust the state?

Since the last froyo update (stock official froyo updated via kies), when I use the internal GPS and after I have the first fix, my GPS is working quite fine.. but after approximately 5 minutes the GPS stops: the GPS icon disappears and I have no more fixes. :mad:

Often if I stop the application and restart it, the GPS works again but just first 5 minutes. I have this problem with all the applications which use the GPS (GPS test, Google maps/navigation, etc.).

I haven't this problem before the froyo update (even if, on my phone, the GPS was barely usable with the eclair rom).

After more testing it seems that it has noting to do with Froyo or the rom.

In fact I have this behaviour only when I disable Dynamic accuracy in LbsTestMode GPS settings (*#*#3214789650#*#*).

If some of you could try to reproduce it, we could see if it's a bug which affects all the devices, just some of them or just mine !

It's easy :

- just start LbsTestMode (type *#*#3214789650#*#* on the phone)

- disable Dynamic accuracy

- test the GPS during 7-10 minutes (eg LbsTestMode test app or GPS test or Google maps ...)

- revert the settings

- post the results

Hello sir;

First of all, let me say that your third tittle [Q] don't take attention, I would suggest you to modifying your thread tittle to something as [Q] My Music tab Hangs/stops to work.

This would help you a lot more than only [Q] as tittle.

And some info about your situation, would be helpful.

Did you install/remove something just before you have that problem?
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
first - do as kurt said!

second - this happened to me without for no particular reason. the only solution was a hard reset. so just be prepared that this might be in your future.
[Focus General] abledanger:
Recently, my phone will stop receiving text messages until I soft reset. Before posting, I tried a hard reset to see if that would fix the issue, but that did not work.

Is anyone else having similar issues with text messages?

Things worth noting:

1. I can still send messages without issue, even when I can't receive them.

2. All other data services on the phone work without any trouble (email, marketplace, zune, etc)

3. It happens even when I have full service, so it shouldn't be a connection/network issue.

4. I have a class 2 16 GB sandisk installed, which has been installed since I got the phone in November (might try a hard reset without the card to see if that helps).

It's interesting that the problem persisted through a hard reset. Right now I'm trying to determine if there's a specific set of actions that can be taken to reproduce the issue, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts.

**UPDATE**

So even after pulling the sd card and hard resetting the phone, the problem is still present. Guess I'll have to head on over to AT&T to get a replacement.

If you are having the issue, it looks like you are only able to receive 10 messages before requiring a soft reset :'(

Thanks
[Focus General] happycollin26:
I'm having the same exact problem. While I was on the phone with the ATT rep, she even tried to send me a text and couldn't!
[Focus General] abledanger:
Yeah I just went through the warranty exchange process with at&t and a replacement is on its way.

My co-worker also has a focus and hasn't had any problems, and with the number of people on this forum and no other responses, I don't think it's a very widespread issue.

I'm glad I found someone else with the problem though! Solidarity man! It's incredibly annoying. I setup a cron job on my server to send me a text every 15 minutes so I know when they stop working.
[Focus General] happycollin26:
I'm ready to scream. I have a Dell Venue Pro (Another Windows Mobile 7 Phone) sitting here that has been an issue since day with everything EXCEPT text messaging. I spoke with ATT rep and they "claim" its either two things for me:

1) Porting of my number still transferring. ITs been to Sprint, T-Mobile, and now ATT all within the PAST two weeks.

2) Having a Metal roof can screw up the signal. Which I think is false because I have NO problem sending out texts, calling, surfing the web.

Again, NOT a problem restarting the phone and receiving texts but after, lets say, 15 minutes and having 3 bars, it stops. Its just like how T-Mobile network acted with Dell Venue Pro with the Internet, it needed to be restarted every hour or so. I'm READY to scream! I CAN NOT believe there AREN'T others with this problem!
[Focus General] abledanger:
10 Message Limit

Oh man. Yeah the Venue Pro launch was pretty rough. I was holding out for that phone too and was going to switch to t-mo, but I didn't want to chance it with all the problems that were being reported.

I have finally found a pattern though! It appears for me that after restarting the phone I can receive 10 text messages before they stop. I found this out because as I mentioned in my last post, I setup my server to send me messages every 15 minutes. While I was sleeping, i hit my sms receipt wall and a bunch of messages "queued up". This morning I restarted my phone, and 10 messages came in, then no more. Restarted again, received another 10, and so on until all the queued up messages had been received.

So it would be interesting if you check to see if there's a hard number limit of messages you can receive.
