personally i think its great the way it is. its about being simple and sleek - adding all this extra stuff just takes that away and with some of your pics on first post - its like were heading back to windows mobile theming :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.Mazika:
we are not back to wm theming .. i try simply to grap some wm theming advantages ... that we just reach with experience with wm

think if u install 10 or more application each with hub in home how long it will be
[Windows Phone 7 General] grymcent:
I think you have the right idea, as until we get a developer to tell us which of these can be done, it all so much hot air, but Good hot air.

Unfortunately I have noticed that a lot of developers are finding widgets hard to develop atm.

Maybe we could just start with a few people doing some graphics for themeing to get it moving, and while we wait for a developer?

Maybe start with finding a way to create the normal sense slider up the side of the screen, instead of bottom of screen like Dr.Mazika images. and convert the notification icons in to tiles.

Just suggestions

[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
what a cluttered mess that would be.

So I would I open up the voice command??? MS tried to simplify things and y'all are trying to re-complicate them all over again.

yep, let's clutter it up and see if we can make it laggy like winmo...

Are there really more than 10 apps you use everyday??? I don't think so for most people. Put everything you think you want on your home screen. Use it for 2 days, go back and delete all you hadn't used off the home screen. That is what I did and I ended up with 19 tiles on the home screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I agree with the above. While I absolutely loved my HD2, I very much enjoy the simplicity of WP7.

Next thing you know, everyone will start asking for widgets and we'll have an Android clone in our hands. If I wanted the Android experience I would have bought another phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.Mazika:
this is optional .. u still can open what u want by the old stupid way click on windows button slide your home page up and down 2 or 3 times to open the calculator while u are in browser

again this idea of application people can install it or not
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Nice. Thanks for this.

SWYPE! GIVE US SWYPE!!!!!
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
most likely it will be a paid app in the market place..
[HD7 General] rysky007:
All fine and dandy, when can we expect this, mine is collecting dust, so I need to know when to turn it on to get the update.

Reading through what they are updating, they are giving us one thing that is need, leaving out 20 other important things, then focusing on what makes them money, games and market place, go figure.
[HD7 General] brett_day:
I am excited about the windows phone 7 updates that will be coming down the pipeline soon. I actually wrote an article about it for Yahoo the other day. You can check it out here

http://www.associatedcontent.com/ar..._phone_7_update_is_on_the_horizon.html?cat=15

What i would also like though is an update from HTC that fixes battery life issues and sound level from the speakers, then all would be well in the world :)
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Nice way to advertise your self, or as its called in the marketing world " nice plug"

But your article misses the big picture as many have, they give us copy and paste to shut us up, and then focus on fixing or improving what makes them money.

Till they add in the other 20 important missing functions which every smart phone in todays markets should have, your praising a product which is an insult on our intelligence.
[HD7 General] 2012iawait:
when are we likely to get the update? i just got my hd7 today switched from android. i have to say the os is smooth. but lack of apps makes me sad . and the youtube app does not have hq option which sux.
[HD7 General] Bigjahat:
they need to let us manually configure hidden network...:mad:
[HD7 General] tai4de2:
Get the HTC YouTube app from marketplace and be happy that it solves this problem.
[HD7 General] humblehyper:
Posted already :)
[HD7 General] paullu:
still waitting......
[HD7 General] humblehyper:
Why do we have this thread? We don't even have the update yet, it's misleading. Who knows exactly when they're releasing the update. By the time they release the update this thread will be 1,000 pages long LOL

Not a good idea to me :)
[HD7 General] dynomite16:
I think the marketplace search is an awesome update. I thought it was terrible searching for apps and music was thrown in there. Supposedly they're fixing all the other problems later in the year with a HUGE update.
[HD7 General] riz157:
Don't worry be happy. Good news it has been officially announced that there will be an update for hd7 soon....the exact date will be announced and soon as it is guess what You will know. In the meantime I suggest live your lives, make someone smile, make another happy. Get some fresh air and smile.;)
[HD7 General] tfn:
updated info on first page

Update coming by March now , fingers crossed and it does look promising,

although no news about what htc will be doing to sort some of the problems we are having or if MS will fix em for us
[HD7 General] evolutionqy7:

Apparently its gonna be a small update to update the updater :p
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
ditto...plus, what's the girls gonna cry about..? this os runs w/o the update...folks always want to ***** about something!
[HD7 General] Strike_Eagle:
I still stuck at version 7004, anyone here have version 7008 already? Or the newest one from MS that brick the Samsum WP7 One?
[HD7 General] Trimegisto:
Is it true that T-mobile is blocking this first small update?

I tried to do it a couple of minutes ago and Zune replied that my phone was fine with the 7004 :confused:

I hope they will release the real thing soon :)
[HD7 General] microhaxo:
If t-mobile is deciding to block the first update (no idea why) this is a very good thing that microsoft decided to make this little tiny one the first update. That way t-mobile is not allowed to block Nodo.
[HD7 General] cina:
Updating to 7008

Hi!

I've just went through the 7004:7008 update successfully!

Sideloaded applications are working still. No reinstall needed which was not obvious for me. Every former setting are in place. I was not saying anything like this before but I must admit that M$ done a good job here. Even if this was just a maintenance update. It went flawless and all done in 20 minutes. Phone backup took almost 70% of time. Zune has a restore option on the Update page with date and time. Forgive me if I do not try the restore function but I do not have time for it right now.

See attached picture...
[HD7 General] JackalJackalJackal:
This is not Nodo upgrade is only preparation for the March update.
[HD7 General] cina:
Yeah, it's no NoDo. I forgot to mention it.

Thanx.

Cina.
[HD7 General] t0nnn:
I hope not..that would be really weak. I'm guessing nobody on t-mobile has gotten the update yet? I'm still waiting as well
[HD7 General] rysky007:
If Tmobile is blocking this, that sux majorly as this update is probably needed to make the March update work. some how I see the march one having issues with Tmobile users since we cant update the updating update, that sounded funny
[HD7 General] jemaho:
As far as I know Tmobile and o2 uk are indeed blocking the update. Ha we, so you see even customers are nothing but numbers for those low life carriers.

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
[HD7 General] cina:
Update delays

From the link in the first post you'll find in the 3rd paragraph:

So probably not T-Mobile or O2 UK is responsible for the delay just M$ itself.

Or updates for branded phones need further checking by the operator and then roll out the update for themselves.

[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i dont get one thing, if telcos are blocking the updates, how are they blocking? if u dont get the update notification on the phone, u connect the phone to zune and update. all i know u have to sign in to the zune, and each device is looged in to the MS system (in other words they know exactly the device id and all).

so how the telcos can block???? unless they ask MS not to push updates to certain id's which they sold...

i am one of the lucky guys who is holding an unlocked non telco HD7 device, but still no updates for me...
[HD7 General] cina:
Probably M$ monitors IP ranges and select phone IPs only from different countries. Or they monitor IMEI numbers and select group by branding and purchase date. Just guessing.

Regards,

Cina.
[HD7 General] sirandrew:
Do we know what range of time Microsoft is pushing out the updates to all phones? I still have not been notified by my phone to do the update despite it having been out for several days now.

Still no O2 HD7 update

I`m thinking that O2 must be blocking the update.
[HD7 General] irispen:
I have an unlocked device.. bought here in the philippines..

still no update for me. =(
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
i sent an email to HTC an i got the following reply from them...

To HTC: I tried countless times, and every time zune will tell me that my phone is up to date and the os is 7.0(7004)..... there is no updating, no error at all

From HTC: If so, we would advise you wait for the major update which will take place in the incoming March. Currently there are some problems reported on the internet regarding this issue. MS is currently working on it.

Regards,

HTC
[HD7 General] t0nnn:
That about answers the no update issue...i'm fine with waiting for the March update at this point. They better not pull this **** when it's released though. An update should be released when everything is worked out, hopefully they can get it right the second time and not jerk us around.
[HD7 General] tfn:
I just went and unlocked my HD7 at htcimeunlock site and trried again and still no update

so I can confirm O2 uk are not blocking the updates , its something to do with Microsoft
[HD7 General] scoob101:
By unlocking the phone, you lifted the carrier block on the update.

Locked o2 phones=no update

Unlocked o2 phones=update ok.

Simple as that.
[HD7 General] yosagojimbo:
I just got off live chat with o2, I'm not filled with hope if I'm honest

--------------------------------------------------------------

Just flash the latest ROM. Update's firmware and radio's. I've enjoyed it so far. As smooth and fast as my HD7 was before, it feels even better now.

Hi guys just to confirm I have updated my uk O2 unlocked phone to the 7.0.7008.0 update today
[HD7 General] bluegreenwhite:
I already got my update last night (pre-NoDo 7008) after checking nightly! It went smooth and fast, all under 5 mins! Just make sure you have enough battery on your phone, laptop plugged in with power, and good WIFI connection. I actually didn't see any notification from my phone, only through Zune when i clicked on UPDATE. Btw, Im currently in Singapore, running Windows7 x64 on a MacBookPro thru Parallels, using Starhub sim on a Singtel exclusive HD7 (well, all phones are unlock in SG anyways). I guess you just have to wait patiently :)

I really love the built in keyboard on WP7 but swype will be one more good option for the users but i am sure it will come as a paid app or free in the marketplace but not by microsoft as a default kayboard

Just updated my HD7 too. Had to be connected to the laptop and did the update check thru' Zune. Phone appears to be performing as per normal...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gaggid:
HI people. First of XDA Forum and Dev as you guy's are doing a great job.

Secondly i have this Motorola Milestone GSM version. I am stuck on Android 2.1, as every one how fast Motorola release Android updates for their smartphones. I have gone through lot of Rooting guides but i haven't tried one yet.

As there are lot of Rooting guides and ROM for Motorola milestone on XDA as well, i am kind confuse how to do rooting and how to use a ultimate ROM on Milestone.

If you guy's can look at my Moto version as given below and can suggest me some step by step guide and Some Good ROMS as well i will be very thankful to you guys'

I know there are lot of other users who have asked same question but i want it kind simple and crisp.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
Most one-click-rooters work fine with the Milestone and it doesn't get any easier then running an app :P .

That's how I did my at least.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gaggid:
I have used universal root, but that doesn't allow APP2SD and using custom ROMS. So i want complete rooting so that i can load custom roms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
Yes it does...

The problem is that:

-for APP2SD you must have ext2 partition which you probably didnt create and for Custom ROMS you have to load the vulnerable recovery...which you probably didnt do...as well

Just my supposing...Corect me if I'm wrong!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mohitrocks:
First, ( I think) you have to flash vulnerable recovery, then root. There is also a beta 2.2.1 beta sbf available. after achieving root, you can google GOT TEAM ANDROID and click the first link which should lead to their blog - http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&sourc...BQ82GR7pNmLJSfPpg&sig2=Jd4iM6Nov5eYhJa2yrZLGg and there should be further instructions there. Good luck :) ( remember I think these are true, not 100% sure)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gaggid:
Can you guide me through on how to do

Flash Vulnerable Reovery.

How to root Milestone

What is SBF and how to use it.

What GOT TEAM ANDROID and why i need them?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mystik:
If your milestone is anything like mine (I use the milestone available from telus, in canada), then your service provider may have added an un-root and return-to-factory-bootloader check on every boot.

in which case, you would need to install the OpenRecovery backup tool onto your sd card (it's an update.zip file + OpenRecovery directory), then flash a vulnerable bootloader using spf. reboot the phone (as is necessary when doing this flash), and as the system is coming up, start up into recovery (by pressing+holding the camera button, waiting for the yellow triangle w/"!", then pressing vol+ and the camera button), then execute update.zip

drop to terminal, and depending on your model, the .sh file that's un-rooting your phone may be in a different location, and simply rename the file, delete it, or make it non-executable.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lucidcoin20:
I just bought the telus milestone a few days ago and am looking to bypass the update.zip when I go into recovery by permanently replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery, would disabling this .sh file aid me in this respect?

Where could I find it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gaggid:
I think i found complete guide for doing this.

Hope it will work.

Which ROM is best for Milestone ?

I am not talking about jazzy ROMs, i want a ROM with all cool features + stable functionality

Hi,

I have a problem with my Nexus S (bought at BestBuy in the US).

Currently I'm using it in Moscow, Russia with Megafon SIM card (however, the problem is confirmed by other users using Beeline provider)

Appromax. once a day the phone gets "No Service" message, it hangs trying to find mobile networks as well as I can't get into airplane mode and back.

The only solution is to reboot the device. The phone doesn't recover.

I tried disabling 3G as well as other data settings with no luck.

Does anyone had similar problem and got it solved? Forum search brought no results.

i bought a chinese tab, now it as a faked android 2.2 (it's 2.1 but it just say 2.2)

touchscreen sensitivity is horrible, and now with this problem is unusable.. so i want to try to flash the correct android 2.1 firmware but i dont know wich one!

My device is a telechip 720mhz pad (seen using setcpu) i can only see that the nand free space size is 2,97gb (when connected to pc as ext disk) it has no ON/OFF SWTICH! only a thin hole to push for reset. It has 1 mini usb (2.0), 1 usb (1.0), 1 hdmi out, 1 3.5jack out, 3 button for navigate + 1 main button (like ipad) that can power on/off (keep pressed) or just put device in stand by (short press).

It's a 2 point touch screen and don't know how to verify ram, i only know i have 50-70 mb free when idle. I has also 360° sensor movement, and a cheap camera.

i bought it from sunsky-online and it' called hw-702t on the website, but on the manual it's called hw-701t, and some pages later it's called mid701

can some one please help me? THANKS!

edit: i found it on ebay, there are some photos to help you identify it!

I work for Sprint at a service and repair store. We had a memo that the Epic was suppose to get Froyo on Dec 26th, but that they pulled it because it bricked half their test phones and needed more work. I do know that the Intercept had an official update go out for Froyo that bricked roughly 10% of customer's phones and we were instructed to put them back on 2.1, I do know someone who has a legitimate carrier copy of Froyo on their Intercept, its not a Galaxy phone but its still Samsung. What you're saying Samsung is doing(which sounds right/true) is pretty petty. HTC released an update to Froyo for the Evo about 2 weeks after the phone launched. That's what manufacturers should do IMO.
