[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaronly:
Hi everyone

I have been a cell tech freak for about 10 years now, and have owned almost all the smart phones that have come out. Although am not a programmer, but I try to use the phones to the fullest, and have recently decided to share my experience with you all by writing my first in-depth review on the lines of 'a day in the life of...' for each of the current hot phones - HD7, Vibrant and iPhone 4. However, before I begin on that review, there are a few questions that I need clarity on (could not find through search):

1. What does the option 'run behing lock screen' mean? In my case, I turned it on with autoupdate on 10 mins for facebook app, but when I reopened the app hours later, it was not updated.

2. Notification system - is there a system to collect notifications, similar to android? or this is more like iphone where the popup comes and goes away?

3. Push notifications - how does it work? for example, I use task lists with reminders set for online services like rememberthemilk.com, however even though I have alarms on, nothing happens on the device.

4. Is there an official website/etc to give feedback to wp7 team or vote on new features? Would love to aid in the development.

5. I normally guage the suitability of a platform by assessing how many of the good developers on other platforms are planning or have started developing for a new platform as well. For example, seesmic client on WP7 is good and has seen consistent improvement. What other major developers are we sure about that have / have not begun work on WP&? (examples: tweetdeck team, hootsuite, nimbuzz, trillian, etc)

Would be great if I got your feedback on these. Cant wait to share my review on all three phones :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
1. It means the app will continue running even if you "lock" the screen. It has nothing to do with multitasking - which the OS does not currently do (for third party apps).

2. It comes and goes. Unfortunately. IMO it goes away too fast as well, I hear the notification sound but by the time I've picked up the phone all I see is the notification sliding away.

3. Depends on how the developer has implemented it. However, you cannot get an alarm going off without having the app running - and since you can't multitask, well...

4. No

5. From what I've seen pretty much all the usual suspects have already or are planning to deploy on WP7. Both the marketplace and developer uptake is higher than what it was for iOS/Android. There are a few well-knows devs holding out, but that's their loss really.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
for 4. no official way but read this article http://www.wpcentral.com/how-provide-microsoft-feedback-about-wp7
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canadariot2312:
2. Collected notifications are displayed on the bottom of the lockscreen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaronly:
Thanks for the answers. I have a couple of other things though:

1. I have assigned a custom ring to my wife's number from the people hub, however whenever she calls me from her number the generic ringtone rings...what gives?

2. When u mean it runs under the lock screen, does that mean exactly this: If I open an app that has the option to run under lock screen and autoupdate after x minutes, and if I lock the screen while the app is still running in the foreground, it will continue to autoupdate in the background..?

Thanks people :) appreciate it
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
So i was flashing the firmware to use the phone on the tab and while doing it the install failed. the tab cut off and will not come back on at all. no download mode nothing...anything can help. wont connect to odin either. any suggestions
[Galaxy Tab General] GOF007:
Not come back on at all ?

Contact your service center then :P

Oh one thing...

When something like this happened, people call it "Bricked" not "Fu***d".
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
lol i am fully aware of that just expressing how i feel about the brick and saying that it will not do anything..no download mode nothing.
[Galaxy Tab General] nprussell:
Do you get any lights whatsoever when it's plugged in?

Also, have you tried leaving it on charge for a while in the mains? Generally, when ODIN fails, the phone/tab allows you to get back into download mode, so this is new to me.

Was it flashing the radio (modem.bin) at the time, out of interest?
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
No modem only the .tar and .pit files. i had flashed my galaxy s plenty of times with no problems. i left it charging tonight while im at work to see if that will do anything but i get no lights or anything. ive seen that some ppl get the pc to device screen but i dont get that either. but just wanted to try some things before shipping it to samsung only bc im in iraq and shipping takes forever.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
Do U get anything when plugging the tab via USB to your computer ? And I do not mean Odin, I am just saying if the computer sees the USB connection.

Also, have you tried to press the POWER button and tap the screen at the same time ?

P_
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
Nope the computer doesn't recognize it either. i get nothing at all..no i haven't tried that ...what exactly will that do?
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
If I bricked my Tab, I too would describe it as F***ED! But even with my moderate modding experience, Im not ready to do the phone mod. Just seems to me like too much risk.

Good luck with your Tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] miketaylor00:
How is this a development issue? This isn't your personal support forum.
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
well i figured this would be an appropriate place to ask this type of ? as other ppl do. due to the fact that i was installing firmware from this section of the forums i figured i would ask the developers that read and write here.

anyways...i called samsung and told them idk why it wont cut on and they said to call it a power issue. so im going to send it to them to see if they can tell what i did..hopefully not. but we will see.
[Galaxy Tab General] rmanaudio:
Try leaving it connected to your computer for up to 1 hour with Odin loaded and ready on the screen.

Someone it will take time before it allow your PC to talk to it when it a messed up state due to a bad flash!
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
even if it will not power on at all?
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
What were the names of the tar and pit files you flashed?
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
i dont see the thread on here but it was on here about a week ago. the first one that got you 3g + phone. Im not on my laptop bc im at work but do you know what im takling about.

Edit: i think it was the old JME and 512.pit...
[Galaxy Tab General] thenewak:
OK just as an update and for anyone who had the same prob...as in tab will not do anything...i called samsung used the 1 yr warranty and told them it was a power issue...that i went to work it was on came home it was off and wouldnt power up so they replaced it with another one.

Firstly, you're in the wrong section, there's a Galaxy S Q&A (for Questions and Answers) section...

Secondly, there is a search fuction on this forum, which is nice because you can see the questions already asked, and answered, and not "polluting" the forum with "always-same-and-same-questions"...

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
You could try "disable powersave" when you are connecting to the network.

Then just make sure you turn your wireless on / off when you aren't using it.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoDoRant:
Hi there!

I had a bug that when I clicked on the found WLAN Network to connect and disabled the powersave there, if I checked the connection afterwards, it always said, that the powersave isn't disabled.

What I did is to add my WLAN Network manually and not by clicking on it and disabled the powersave there. That worked for me, you could give it a try!

Cheers

2. open and scroll down to wifi sleep policy

3. check never

4 reboot
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdl1908:
I also had problems with dropped wifi when the archos went in sleep mode. Disable powersave did not work. Untill I found softlocker in the market and installed that. It works very good and i have no wifi drops anymore. I talked to the developer and he's very responsive to requests and bugfixes he put up a donate version so if you like the app please donate.

PS: I'm not the developer.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdl1908:
Does not work I tried that only softlocker seems to work correctly.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigge32:
Thanks for the tips. It seems really absurd but the solution was to set in NEVER the idle of wifi settings...that's the same tip to use the Tune...but in silence mode:)

Thanks.

ps: I set the encryption back to WPA and all works fine

[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
Less bug in their Driver (Bluetooth, Audio, SOC, WiFi), Modem/Radio, TouchWiz 3, and Android Sources in Froyo will give Samsung a faster way to upgrade.

In the future, after Samsung releases Froyo, expect shorter time to upgrade the Epic to (name an android delicious snack).

And because Samsung has own System on a Chip (hummingbird), Samsung has to develop drivers for SOC, it take a long time to find bug and fixing them for future upgrade.

[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
Silly question... is there a Galaxy-S specific to S. Korea? I *know* it wouldn't be the i9000, because S. Korea is 100% CDMA. I'd expect *that one* to have the most active open-source activity, just b/c that's the model Samsung's own developers would be using in real life.

S. Korea is kind of strange... to Americans & Europeans, it looks closed & proprietary. In reality, it has an *incredibly* active homebrew scene. The problem is, Korean doesn't commonly Romanize loanwords, so if you can't read Hangul writing, it looks more alien than even Chinese, and way more foreign than Japanese usually does. And reinforcing the isolation, it's a big country with domestic dev scene that's big enough to keep most Koreans totally happy... for them, there's not much value to make the trouble of digging through English forums worthwhile.

I know this because I have a Robotis Bioloid robot. Their English software & docs are almost *ancient* compared to the Korean ones. Seeing the gap was very eye-opening.

Anyway, my point is that the sourcecode to the CDMA-related .ko modules we need for Froyo & Gingerbread is probably floating around in public *right now* on a site like XDA in Korea. We just need to find it ;-)

[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Are they even releasing Froyo or are they jumping straight to Gingerbread? At this point, might as well just skip Froyo all together, but seems Samsung hasn't ironed out all the bugs in even Froyo yet.
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
There will probably be a new Samsung phone out with Gingerbread by the time they get Froyo out for the Epic. Heck they'll prob release the second gen Epic 4G before Froyo comes out.

Reminds me of my frustrating days as a Palm owner. At least we have devs and roms for our Epic. :)

[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I'm confused about something.. (unless recent rumors are true), couldn't samsung just release the source *unofficially* and have developers work on it? And then when their team is ready working out their own stuff, they/sprint can push out their own update?
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
It would be easier to have patience with Samsung if they actually gave one date and stuck to it. Instead we get Tweets, false rumors, and other phones updating before we get anything. Never again with Samsung.

[Epic 4G General] chocoberry:
First, S. Korea of 100% CDMA is an ancient story. It has been WCDMA for 4 years already. (except for LGU+ which has EV-DO Rev.A network like Verizon or Sprint) Two leading carriers, SKT and KT, are both on WCDMA 2100MHz which is fairly global.

Second, there is a S. Korea-specific Galaxy S called M110S. However, it is almost identical with i9000 from appearance to hardware spec. The main difference is that M110S has a T-DMB mobile TV tuner and uses Qualcomm BP rather than Infineon BP.

Third, there are a few dev groups with a few developers (matpclub.com being the most popular), but much smaller than XDA, unfortunately. One of the greatest devs, Lilineiser, appears at the voodoo irc channel as a maintainer.

And, as a p.s.,

... Interestingly, ONLY US GALAXY S has not been blessed with FroYo. Even Canadian Captivate got an upgrade. It's very hard to say that FroYo is delayed because of internal bugs caused by Samsung, at least for Vibrant and Captivate... There should be something with US carriers. (For our Epic.... it's a different story though.)
[Epic 4G General] fkhaten:
that would be the nexus s
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Hell, samsung should just relese the sources and let us do what we what with it and they not worry about ay updates at all. At that point I think its easy to maintain updates to source code then the entier os.

Xda will always hack and mod anything any carrier / manufacturer releases so.... who cares of the end product they deliver other then hardware.....

I call BS on this one. Reminds me of Motorola, and they even stated it's not hard date, and people still treated it like a "promise". They even gave more information as to the delay and people whined all day about it.

If there was any major bugs with the update more people will be up in arms crying about the bug more than the time for the update to happen. Devices from HTC comes to mind...

I see samsung tv's as having a better advertising department. Only because people know the name better do they buy them. I own a lg and will also never buy a samsung, especially after owning an epic. Same applies to washers and dryers, had a 1 1/2 yr old samsung dryer that busted the seam on the stainless drum. No one we spoke with could even get us a part number for the drum let alone point us in the right direction. They eventually sent us to a third party place that dealt with repairs...

[Epic 4G General] Sesquipedalian:
Honestly, I'd rather have them thoroughly fix the things we can't, like their drivers, EVEN if it means waiting longer, than to have crappy update.

I had the TP2, and when they released WM 6.5 for it, it was total crap. You were better off sticking with 6.1 (which Sprint did and AMAZING job with), or going with a custom ROM.

I'd hate to see something similar happen for the Epic. While I'm eager for Froyo, I'm not really such how much of a difference it's going to make on a day to day basis. Hell, if they could give me a keyboard that wouldn't skip letters, I'd be satisfied with never getting Froyo.

Everyone keeps saying samsung should just release the froyo source code and let the devs play around with it. It was my understanding that they did this. I believe its called dk28. Most of us are running an unofficial leaked version of froyo. Now it might not be as polished as the curret version samsung is working on but if they leaked that a week later we would be having the sae conversation. I have a strong feeling that no matter when they finally release an offical build that you could pick anyone of the custom roms and it will be 10 times better.
