This was more humorous than the OP, maybe photoshop Samsung into the box...
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
Come on the op went for humor not straight complaining. Laugh don't laugh but it's actually the people who hate threads like this that fill them up. Is it so hard just to go on to the next thread. A person sees so many replies and they think it is of value. The flamers give these threads life. There should only be 1 post if this thread is pointless, 2 if the original post was confusing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Izeltokatl:
There are plenty of smart devs for the Eris, but almost none have touched the /cache, /data, /system memory portion of our phones. XTR, I think was the first, did with his Cache2Cache programing, which is very cool. It is also currently limited to his nice ROMs. But this is only for cache usage from my understanding. Granted, messing with this MTD area may brick your phone (but so can rooting hehe).

Anyone want to port this over to the Eris?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321

Eris stock has roughly:

Cache @ 130MB (I dont think we need that much)

System @ 160MB

Data @ 170MB

basically I used this tool on my sisters Desire, and increased the amount of memory for the /data folder (for apps) reduced the cache, and system as follows:

OEM:

System @ 250MB

Cache @ 40Mb

Data @ 147MB

AFTER:

System @ 160MB

Cache @ 35MB

Data @ 242MB

anyone up for the challenge? IF you want more space for apps, and standard caching you should just vote yes here. If enough of us vote for this, maybe a dev will take the challenge to heart.

I'm always bumping into my memory usage no matter what rom I use. I'm always shifting downloaded apps from /data to /system, which is why I'm looking to realllocate the partition memory usage.

I'm running at around 15MB free space on /Data, but after work emails and maps and caching I get the fun low memory message. Granted I like to have a crap load of apps.... i'll get my memory allocation details later when I get a chance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
OT, but just wanted to clarify that Cache2Cache is not limited to xtr's ROMs. Besides some other ROMs that include it by default, you can also flash the old style Apps2SD even if you don't use it for the Ext3 Apps2SD function, and use it to enable Cache2Cache. I do on every CM6.x Froyo ROM that I flash that doesn't have Cache2Cache by default, and I don't use the Ext3 Apps2SD, instead using Froyo's native Apps2SD.

Regarding the new policy implemented a few months ago, can I just walk in and get a replacement for a $35 fee? I don't have TEP but from what I've read, non-TEP people just need to pay that fee for any kind of warranty work done. I just want to know what's possible or not before I walk in the store.

Is your Evo rebooting because of flashing different ROM's? Are you on the stock ROM? Have you tried to reinstall the Stock RUU?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
If you are rooted they won't do anything for you, so you will have to put it back to stock first.

If you are totally stock then just take it in. They will look at it and probably do a factory reset. If that doesn't fix the problem, then they should give you a warranty replacement. There shouldn't be any charge for a warranty replacement whether you have TEP or not.

i've tried all the suggestions in the random reboot thread. went with different ROMs, different batteries, etc and it all comes down to 3G rebooting the phone. I'm in the process of going through the steps to bring it back to stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Mine doesn't do it because of 3g. Mine does it because of the WiFi being turned on and the phone idle. Try turning off your WiFi unless you're actively using it. I know you said you tried everything, but I ran into this a week or so ago. I thought it might be worth a shot.

[Fascinate General] mailaliasgar:
If you want to study programming by yourself, you can use "Starting out with C++" by Tony Gaddis to get started with C++. We use this book for the first programming course in our university. I would also recommend that you attend lectures (you need not register, just take the permission of the instructor) at a community college or university.

Android programming uses Java but I would recommend that you learn the "C" part of C++ (first 10 chapters of the book) before venturing into other programming languages.

Good luck!
[Fascinate General] soba49:
The most important and difficult step is assuring yourself that this is really something you want to do. It is a highly specialized field and highly competitive. The education never ends. I really can't help you decide what is best for you; be prepared for a significant investment before you really know yourself.

If you want to directly pursue employment, look at actual job listings first and go for whatever formal certification is most requested presently. I am not sure whether it is still in fashion, but selecting a pathway through MCSE used to be an excellent plan. The texts aren't that expensive, and the exam is standardized.

Absolutely learn a low level programing language! C is probably low enough these days. Also learn an object oriented language: java, C#, objective c, C++, pretty much anything in use that suits your fancy. Also at least understand the concept of software engineering (be able to read basic UML).

Once you know the syntax of C++, learn how to do something with it. Find a specialty or at least seek a higher understanding: Effective C++ by Scott Meyers is an excellent read, and Programing Pearls by Bentley will show you how to solve problems smarter. A huge part of any discipline is being aware of when you are reinventing the wheel. It wouldn't hurt to loath about white space either.

If you want a formal training in computer science, be ready to fully appreciate abstract mathematics and buy volume 1 of 'The Art of Computer Programming' by Donald Knuth. Get through every volume and you will be aligned with the standard curriculum.

You don't need to follow any specific path to be a programmer. There are a lot of different types of programmers, and they probably all disagree about the best things to learn.

Thanks for that advice, its nice to check on a topic and find helpful people, the plumbing was awesome unfortunately I was in eugene, or... And locked into a union with no work...thats just to start, then I had an accident at home that ruined my left shoulder, even after surgery and phys theropy it doenst work right, limited range of motion..pain...etc that being said I had very steady work, got hurt couldnt continue building municple water plants anymore...its unfortunate I loved building trades I had 3 of 5 years of schooling ojt towards journeymans card, then poof like casper its gone... So with my very limited computer knowledge and my love for technical complex math and desire for greater self worth... Im going back to school just asking for the current experts advice.

[Fascinate General] orateam:
depends on the kind of programming you want to do.

Java coders have a bigger field to work in but make the lowest of any developer.

C+ coders have a diverse field to work in and make good to great money.

cobol programming is extinct but you can make great money, but experience is required.

PHP , html5, Ruby, Obj-C, python and Flash are hot right now with lots of work and medium to very high pay.

Database programming is more difficult (t-sql/plsql), very niche, harder to find work in, but the money is very high.

there are other niche programming languages like squeak,erlang,ocaml but don't go there.

Basically what I've found is that mobile development is the hot tech right now and heading towards the obj-c,php, python path. It's also very lucrative right now because everyone is jumping in it all at once. Plenty of work, very high pay. But like all things, it will get saturated within 2 years and the pay will come down.

The more complex and niche the language, the more money and sustainable it will be.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] devilman:
As soon as i discovered I could give WP7 a try on my HD2, i started all the process...

Now it works i activated the live account and everything is ok.

I also succeded in having android still booting from the on purpose formatted SD, and i choose from magldr the desired OS.

Now... what?

I mean, WP7 seems incredibly smooth and i would like to go deeper in it, but i find myself lost.

here are my questions, being used to working with wm 6,5 and android :

1) How do i get my contacts/tasks/appointmentsback on the phone from outlook on pc ?

2) Is it possible to use the IGO8 Wm 6,5 version here with WP7?

3) how do you use the phone as an AP (wifi , usb or BT tether)?

BUT, ABOVE ALL ...

where do i find all the needed app?

I mean, the market seems tailored only to make you spend money.

There a lot of music file to download, but where are free apps?

In the Android Market you have a plethora of free apps, but i cannot find free apps for WP7 in its market, i only see apps to buy...

How can i have my Hd2 / WP7 ready to a daily use, comparable with android?

where are simple useful apps like

tapatalk, a nav, layar, wikitude, news and highlights, dictionaries, comic readers...

how can i customize the home screen like the easy android widget way?

I think i am missing something, it is my first dive into WP7 sea, so if an expert Wp7 lifeguard lends a hand, i would really appreciate any advice...

thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gaiden0000:
To answer your second question. No you won't be able to run any of your current Navigational software on WP7. From what i've gathered, there is currently no good paid for app for it. So no Copilot, TomTom, IGO.

It's the only thing keeping me from changing over to it actually.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Zephnath:
WP7

Market Place is the best place to go. Search xda to find other apps, there are entire sections deticated to apps on this site. The only problem with installing from places other than the market place is that your phone has to be unlocked. If the app is not an Official app, meaning it can be found on the Market Place, then sooner or later will run into an error message requesting that you uninstall the app. This because your phone automatically locks itself after a while. You can fix by unlocking the phone again, but you will have to keep doing it everytime you want to run or install unsigned apps. If you want free apps, swipe left to the free apps section in market place.

Windows Mobile apps are not supported on WP7. You can get T-Mobile TelNav from market place, just search for it keyword tmobile

Search windowsphone.com for support setting up and syncing outlook.

No tether or wi-fi support available yet, at least none has been mentioned by anybody yet.

As for those apps you are looking for, chances are they are not on WP7 as of yet. But to make sure, search Market Place for them. To do so follow these steps: When in market place press the Home key. This will open Market Place search. (Outside of market place this key will open bing search)

For customizations go to windowsphone.com for guides and tutorials on how to use the phone and customize.

Most questions about windows phone 7 can be answered by searching or going to windowsphone.com
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bnlf:
Just setup a liveid or exchange account. easy as hell and you should have seen this while booting the phone for the first time. Once you setup the account everything will be sincronized.

no. i read somewhere theres a gps software available but not sure which one. Major companies are still developing their softwares for wp7.

cant right now. operators dont want period. theres a hack for samsung focus i think which enables you to use wp7 as ap. not sure about other phones, softwares or if theres already something available for this task.

BUT, ABOVE ALL ...

first. make sure your country has support for marketplace.

start marketplace -> click apps -> slide right -> click ALL -> slide right 3 times till u reach FREE.

you should see a list with lots of good free apps to download. You can also use bing to search through all the list. Check bing visual search. its really good.

check marketplace. theres already 6k apps available for download/buy but you have to remember wp7 is still young. it was release few months ago you have to be patient and wait for the softwares to appear. iphone / android didnt get 100k apps in 1 day and compared to android market wp7 marketplace is growing faster.

just click and hold to remove/add etc whatever you want on the start screen.

sorry for my english

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] BEERSHARK:
I have the same question about contact elsewhere but no responses.

I have separate contacts on my hd2 and hotmail and wish to keep them separate.

When you register your hotmail on wp7 it automatically downloads all 700 contact which I don't want in my phone.

My hd2 is synced with outlook but I don't think you can sync wp7 with outlook.

I had an omnia 7 for a week and returned it keeping my hd2

Reluctant to flash to wp7 nit I know I can move my 300 phone contacts over.

Non tethering is a real pain. HTC did confirm to my directly that the HD7 does support tethering but the function has been removed by the operators

thanks . care to share how u did it ? is ur android sd build ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aenedor:
It is a SD build, it is Dandiest's Desire Z 2.1 (the 2.2 fix / update caused it to lock up when mounting the SD card YMMV).

I followed this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815 and the post it links to because at the time I could only mount one SD card at a time via my HD2.

I recomend reading the whole post and the post it links to several times before starting, I rushed into it and as a result made mistakes by not following the instructions properly, what should have taken 2-3 hours (mounting 1 SD card at a time) took nearer 8 LOL! cause I kept redoing steps until I realised how / where I was doing them wrong. This was last Sunday.

EDIT: I have a 16 gig class 6 SD card and an 8 gig SD class 6 card, I used the 8 GIG initially when installing MAGLDR and WP7 then following the instructions above transfered the WP7 partition to the 16 GIG card. This gave me a smidging under 8 gig for WP7 and a smidging under 8 gig for Android, not huge but not too shabby neither. I see you can buy 32 gig cards now, but the fast ones cost £80 so that is something for my future :)

You can go to Settings, Email & Accounts, click on the accounts and uncheck contacts, except for hotmail. Go figure. But I think you can sync with outlook using exchange server directly, if not sync using exchange with google and sync outlook with google as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] huggs:
So I've been playing around with Eclipse, running Android on my pc, just for fun, not really a developer, and I have managed to get quite a few apps installed, and when I re-launch the device, the apps are still installed and all.

The platforms that come with the sdk are very stripped down, so I just used the email app that's included with the platform builds to email myself .apk's, and was able to get a decent looking/functioning build going.

My question now is, if its reasonably convenient for you to do, could someone please drop me some links to some pretty tricked out system.img's so that I can copy the sdk's 2.2 platform folder and drop in the new system.img?

I'm wanting to make a pretty cool build that I can run on my comp

I have been having trouble finding just regulare system.img's, all I keep coming up with is system.ext2's and they don't seem to work with the sdk.

I don't know for sure 100% that what I am wanting to do can even be done, since I've so far not been able to find any plain ol' system.img's, so if anyone has any advice at all about how to go about what I'm wanting to do, I'm all ears.

Like I said, not a developer, just doin something I think is pretty neat to play around with on my pc:D

Just looking for a system.img with more of the basic crap already installed, maybe some cool eye candy, idk

thanks for any help all
