[Windows Phone 7 General] jessej:
A com dll is a library for storing files that are shared between programs. Which brings me to my question. How can there be no com dll? We have read access to the registry but the write access is blocked right now. They are sharing essentially the exact same code with minor customizations for drivers and such. This does not remove the dll files from the device though. Or am I completely misunderstanding the idea of a dll file?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tai4de2:
The LG, Samsung, and HTC phones have OEM-specific apps. To make those apps do useful work, the manufacturer has some COM DLLs exposing functionality not otherwise available to applications. Those COM DLLs are being exploited to create the hacks you see for other phones.

There are no Dell-specific apps and therefore no COM DLLs to exploit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lemonspeakers:
they do have some tmobile apps that come preloaded. can those work?

gosh! there must be some common exploit. this is stupid!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lemonspeakers:
This is as close as an explot we can get the:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929211

that is Dell's hidden diagnostic menu.

please someone find a way to hack this device!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessej:
Thanks for the clarification. I was not aware that the work around for ALL devices was coming from the pre installed manufacturer apps. Would the supposed password for the composite mode on the venue pro diagnostic mode be of any help? This is supposed to allow access to tethering according to pocketnow.com. The composite mode password is supposedly *#301# from what I have read.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tai4de2:
Extremely unlikely.

The functionality exposed by the COM DLLs on Samsung HTC LG are things like being able to write to the registry and filesystem with elevated privs (to support provisioning apps and the like).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MJCS:
There is a com dll in the "connection setting" app from the store. Search for that title or "Dell" in the marketplace. Someone also posted the EM mode app. You could use that com dll as well

OK so my question is for my brother who also has the SGS Vibrant, whe recently bought a new car which supports streaming through bluetooth, well the problem is basically when it connects it does indeed play but theres crackling through the speakers and I know it isnt the speakers cuz they have been replaced with brand new ones and also a friend of his connected there iPhone and the quality is a 100 times better, no crackling perfect quality, I also tried streaming my personal SGS Vibrant and it also sounds aweful, anyways if ANYONE can give and solid solution or solutions that may fix this problem or could lead me into some kind of direction that would be great.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rownsurf81:
I've spent the last few hours looking through threads with little luck. I assume some combination of things may help me, but I've been unable to sort it out so appreciate anyone who can lend advice.

I've recently installed the latest official ROM and then reinstalled Mobile Shell 3.5. Prior to this I'd get 18 hours of battery life on normal use. The last week or so my battery seems to be lasting about 8 hours max. This drastic change is obviously a major pain. I assume I've either set something that now stays on all the time or forgot to turn off something that used to be off.

So far I've confirmed that the following are turned off unless needed, just as they were in my old setup: Bluetooth, Wifi, Sense, GPS in GoogleMap, Mail DirectPush

Any thoughts are appreciated

which roms support 4g??
[EVO 4G General] sminker:
I wouldnt say it sucks. Its just dramatically different.

If you want 4G you should look at Sense based roms. IE: Myns, Mikfroyo, Evio, etc... Just look for SENSE in the thread title.
[EVO 4G General] r0cky0790:
Try Myns warm 2.2 rls 5 that's the best sense rom and it supports 4g

[EVO 4G General] NHLWil:
First of all, it's bad form to say a particular ROM "sucks". It may not be for you, but a lot of people work hard on it, and a lot of other people like it.

If you don't want a Sense ROM, your only option currently is CyanogenMod 6.1.2 with the WiMAX (4G) mod. I've been running it with the Savaged-Zen kernel with very few issues. Both the ROM and kernel are very beta, but I've been using them as my daily driver since they were released.

The only thing I use that doesn't work currently is mounting the SDCard via USB, so copying files from the computer to the phone isn't quite as easy (although you can do this via network, ADB push, or recovery). The kernel in the ROM OP has this working, but isn't as battery efficient, and the WiFi likes to go to sleep way too often for me.

[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I hate to contribute to the things I hate about this forum, but I have to in this situation...

OP, you are what I call a "dimwit".

Did you really not know that that Miui was an aosp rom and that no aosp rom has 4g on it? If you did know that and you're saying miui sucks because it doesn't have 4g on it, then you are also saying cyanogen sucks because his rom doesn't have 4g on it...How can that be possible when cyanogen is the most well-known and arguably the best android dev out there?

Miui's rom is as good as they get. 4g will be coming in a matter of weeks which will make miui and cyanogens roms as close to perfect as possible...

I would tell you to go create your own rom but whatever intelligence you possess obviously wouldn't suffice

EDIT* I'd like to note that when i'm talking about cyanogen's roms i'm referring to his official releases, not his nighties (which i know have 4g on them, though still in early stages of beta) just in case some smart-ass wants to defend the OP for being a moron...

I tried MIUI, but it just wasn't for me. It did seem like a great ROM though. Sure was fast as hell. Seems like no matter what ROM I try I always keep coming back to Warm 2.2

OP, just because you don't like the ROM doesn't mean it sucks. For that matter, who are you to say that a ROM sucks anyways? You admitted yourself you can't make your own ROM so you have no right to say MIUI sucks or not. You could've just said you didn't like it, stated what you wanted, and we'd have helped.

Cut the Guy sum slack people. Even though he still might be a noob, he is entitled to drop at least one ****ty thread. I'm pretty sure he has learned his lesson as far as rom bashing due to all the criticism.

My advice to you buddy make sure u really read up on things before u go complaining about a rom. If u really are into this get a twitter and talk to the developers about your problems. Just don't use and *****. To tell the truth, I knew that MIUI was a sick rom and I've never used it myself. Only because I read that it didn't have 4g. I think the next time you go around saying crazy stuff about something very popular on xda ur BANNED 4 LIFE!

I'm seeing a few issues with es file explorer

1. file permissions, I can only open word docs in read only.

2. For some file extensions I don't get prompted for what all to open some things, for example when I open a picture the default app for pix seems to be esfile explorer instead of giving me a choice and I need to be able to zoom in on these pix.

I don't see any options for either of these limitations, if I don't find a fix I will just move on to another app I guess.

I used GPS on builds as early as 2.0 and it has all worked without any configuration - I have gpstatus installed and download a-gps data.

Google maps has locked to GPS in 10-30seconds 90% of the time, especially when stationary and sky relatively clear.

Usually longer if cloudy, indoors or moving - up to 3mins. But I would expect that tbh.

Copilot live 8 works fine on 2.6 for me. used it today - nice bit of software once POIs removed!! I still prefer GarminXT on WM6 for it's routing and display.

Currently I have a Tmobile Vibrant and would like to have Chinese handwriting recognition. So far, nothing on the Android market is usable for me.

Unfortunately they were not able to fully test some features because they were getting blocked by country limitations. They were tolerant of this, although I find it shocking that companies can violate freedom of internet and free trade in this way. They still managed to do a very good review of the OS in its current state and assessment of what additions are needed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jonno2343:
Features such as Zune are blocked by the ridiculous music / movie licensing groups that are unique to each country. It is a huge amount of work to get the license to sell stuff like that in other countries.

Xbox Live is being launched in different countries all over the world (was just recently launched in Russia, Poland, South Africa, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile) but requires a lot of infrastructure such as servers, billing infrastructure, etc. Also requires more people to be hired to manage the thing in those countries with their specific rules and regulations.

I find it weird though that in more than half of the countries that WP7 has officially been

launched

you are unable to purchase applications? I can't see what kind of usage rights can cause this so I'm assuming it's only a billing problem.

Good review, thanks for the link.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I wonder whether there are some differences in OS versions from device to device because on my Mozart I don't see any signs of many gripes people seem to have.

Gapless playback works, the Marketplace app works very fast, doesn't hang, crash, show black screens or whatever, applications install almost instantaneously, launch time is more or less on par with the iPhone (a bit slower, but I wouldn't notice if I hadn't read about it earlier). In fact, I still haven't encountered a single OS bug. I've seen quirks for sure and things like no way to upload an edited document are plain ridiculous, but then again this is counterweighed by the fact that other OSes fail even more miserably in some areas (e.g. Android phones completely fail to download attachments from my work Exchange, and nobody knows how to solve that, iPhone fails occasionally, but when it does, there's no way to tell it to re-download it, etc. etc.). The built-in Office is by far superior to all packages available on iOS/Android in terms of compatibility with ppt files I need to check on the go, etc.

Also, I became a huge fan of Zune Pass, and it's hard to imagine how I managed to live without it. To add to the topic, WP7 has absolutely stellar audio codecs. When I tried WP7 on HD2, I was literally stunned, I didn't think software could influence sound quality to such an extent. This is no cheap opensource stuff you get on Android, this is real iPhone level expensive quality.

So all in all I'm more positive about the OS than I was a while ago. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends or relatives here, but that's because of difficulties of setting up US accounts, need to jailbreak to install a Russian keyboard or a satnav app etc.
