And messages posted to any open venue, such as a newsgroup, a web-based board, an AOL discussion forum or a chat room, are seldom truly harassing unless they're forged to appear to come from you or contain direct threats or libelous statements.

I did not state in any way that you were in fact committing this act nor did I threaten you in any way. Please do not throw interpretations around in place of the law to avoid answering. If you so choose not to respond to my inquiry that is your right and I respect that but do not act as though it is going to turn into a threat of legal action because that's just, well, depressing.

You shouldn't post on forums if you can't handle a little flak here and there. Its not like he's threatening you physically or mentally, and he's not spreading libel. Don't hide behind a threat like that. It looks petty at best.

Same goes for you. You had no useful intention for saying what you said. If you only want to spread discontent and harm, I warn you: Do not say another word to me.

The Daily Tech story has been updated with a response from MS:

"Update: Thur. 1/27/2011 2:50 p.m. -

We reached out to our Microsoft press contact for more information concerning some news networks' negative depiction of this sales data and update on the phantom data issue. While the spokesperson did not provide us with answers to our specific questions, as requested, they did offer us a general statement.

They emphasized the following metrics:

• Early research indicates 93% of customers worldwide are satisfied with Windows Phone 7, and 90% would recommend to others.

• Developer engagement is excellent with customers getting access to an average of 100 new apps a day and more than 6,500 apps overall on Marketplace.

• Over 2MM licenses sold to OEMs worldwide.

And they add, "Sales are an important measure of success, but for a new platform customer satisfaction and active developer investment can be even more important leading indicators of long-term success.These early signs of satisfaction from customers and developers are reason to be bullish about the foundation for long-term success for Windows Phone 7."

We will again, try to provide an update as soon as Microsoft offers more specifics on the data usage issues that are afflicting some WP7 users."

Eh, I remember when I was a kid we didn't threaten legal action without foundation... or at all... all these new laws paired with kids who don't get outside much have lead to a much weaker generation as a whole. I'm glad I grew up in an era where even the teens and adults arent saying "I'm going to tell on you." for absolutely no reason...
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Equally some of you have a basic problem understanding many customers are dissatisfied with WP7. And this "90% consumer satisfaction" is as true as worthless crap. I mean these general surveys are nothing.

By the way, do some of you work for MS? You behave like the multibillion giant needs your defence? Give me me a break.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's the idea I get. I know I and a number of people I know aren't satisfied with WP7. I do recognize, though, that I and a lot of people liked WP7 up front and believe MS might be taking that into account rather than the continued use of WP7. It's when people have used the OS for a while when they become unsatisfied.

Lets keeps things on topic, please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
I do find the figure of 93% being extremely high, but not completely unreasonable. Just looking at my own friends and relatives, whom are mostly average consumers - that is, they come to me for advise on things technical - none have so far come back and given me crap about the piece of **** phone I convinced them to buy, and let me tell you, they would have given me grief about it if they weren't satisfied. I still remember the HDDVD vs BluRay war, where I was clearly on the losing side.

It's still a hard one though, because as you say it's after using the OS for some time you really get the feeling for those little niggly things that are really wrong about it, and due to a huge shortage of devices locally (for weeks after launch) many of the people I know haven't had them for more than perhaps a month to six weeks so far. I dunno though, I picked up a HD7 at launch, didn't like it, got a Omnia 7 which I returned as it only had 8GB storage and no SD slot and finally a 16GB Omnia 7 - point is, I've used the OS since launch (and sort of before by use of the emulator and dev devices) in some capacity or another and really I think it took less than a week for me to realise everything that was wrong with it. To the best of my recollection nothing has cropped up in the weeks or months since, that I hadn't already noticed and accepted.

Now, as an old WM user do I find the OS to be lacking in certain aspects? Sure I do, but what they've delivered they've generally delivered really well. It's given me what no WM or Android phone could - an experience that just works, just like the iPhone (and had the iPhone been available on different hardware I may still have been an iPhone user). Of course I am looking forward to the day we can utilize the camera API on WP7, or the day we can integrate the users contacts into our apps. Likewise I'm looking forward to certain bugs being fixed and promised features to become available, but if I was asked if I liked the platform as is I would have to say yes, Yes I do.

If you feel the lack of functionality is so bad, you're simply chosen the wrong OS and you would probably be much better off using Android or WM (which I personally preferred out of the two). You're never going to get a product that fits everyone in every way possible - apart from perhaps in North Korea where you really don't have a choice ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
LOL...I've had that experience myself with things I recommended. Then I go running for cover. Ewww...just remembered the $400 I talked my brother into spending on the Palm Treo 680...the unlocked one - not carrier supported. We both bought one when they first came out and turned out to be the worst pile of doo we ever threw money at. I will never live that down. When the iPhone came out, not too long after the Treo 680, I was praising it to my brother but didn't dare recommend it...lol.

I have praised WP7 to him. He has yet to know how I currently feel about it, though. I still like the OS as a skeleton. One which has potential. But I certainly hope MS won't "kin" us all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] V1ViD:
Honestly, I think if you are on this phone. You have "higher" expectations for the platform than average users would. In the tech community satisfaction may be mediocre, but with the everyday community. People love this platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Dude, you were all for WP7 until you were against it. What gives?

You chose to be a beta tester, you did, no one forced you to give money away.

Yeah it sucks that the update isn't here yet but it was YOU who chose to believe the hype and rumors that it was coming in January.

When it comes down to it, WP7 as is is a complete smartphone OS.

Unfortunaely for MS, there are other OSes out there that have more features have grown accustomed to having, some of these features were even on their previous OS.

Let me tell you something though, you like the features on the other OSes so much? Why the hell didn't you buy a phone with one of those OSes instead of making threads that make you sound like countless other self-entitled brats in the world today?

Damn, learn a little patience and maybe, just maybe, you'll be rewarded for it. Or don't, a be viewed as a brat, your choice!

I did a Google and XDA search and only found one other person reporting the same problem I have over on the DroidForums....

I am using ADWEx and the AndroidPhone7 theme. I had to manually assign icons to my dock and the icons are not being used in my app drawer at all. I've double-checked to ensure that "Use Theme Icons" is checked, but no dice.

I've used DarkEdge themes previously and had no issue.

I have just been depleting my battery but due to the magldr bug and not being able to charge whilst off it is a bit of a problem. Can someone tell me how to do it knowing that if the battery depletes fully I may not be able to get back into the device without an external charger?

Little puzzled but would like to get the correct battery stats for my battery
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
You can just recharge your phone with a regular wall charger, even when the battery is fully drained. You'll just have to remove/insert the battery before booting after it's charged.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattwaddy:
I had read somewhere that the phone doesn't actually charge when off even though the LED comes on? Something to do with Magldr
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I have never heard of that actually. I recalibrated my battery like that yesterday by the way, no issues at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattwaddy:
So charge fully using wall charger with phone off?, delete file, allow to drain to the point it turns off. Then plug in using mains charger and boot ....carry on charging until full
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
There's a lot of different guides on this, I started with a complete drain, full recharge, delete file, complete drain. The 2nd charging shouldn't matter.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I'm pretty sure magldr actually does charge, but not very fast. I've seen my percentage go up while stuck in the magldr charge. It's not worth the trouble though. Just wait for the magldr update and hope it fixes it. It would really suck if you ran down your battery to calibrate and end up having to buy an external charger just to get it going again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I really think there's a lot of false rumours about this charging thing. Does anyone actually have an example of anyone not being able to charge anymore with Magldr? I have yet to encounter one. Of course, prove me wrong if you can, I may very well have missed it.

My battery charged just as fast as it was supposed to. Except for the battery hop, everything went smooth as butter, and I'm not even using the latest Magldr (1.10).

Any suggestions !!

I searched here an on the net and I am having difficulty determining what the maximum FPS is for video playback on this device.

I see everywhere that it records at a max of 23 FPS.

The reason for my inquiry is I am using Super to convert some files to WMV format to play on the phone. I set it at 30 FPS and the movie played back almost flawlwssly but it looked as if it was struggling when fast movements were shown on screen (blocky areas, hazing).

Does anyone know the max video playback FPS of this device?
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Zune converts videos for you. Not sure FPS but they always look good to me.
[Focus General] Bjd223:
If this is the same SAMOLED that is in the Captivate then the native refresh rate of the panel is 56 if I can remember correctly. Hit up the Captivate forums to double check. Just look in one of the benchmark threads.

Also in Zune Desktop software you can disable the 'automatically re-encode videos" settings if you want to do it your self.

I played back a 1.4 GB MKV (HD 720p) without any issues so the phone has the power to decode H.264 in hardware.

Hi,

i just installed 30 Dec WITH SENSE: r2 HTC Vision MoDaCo Custom ROM with Online Kitchen on my G2, it said that there already were superuser permissions installed (infact i found the icon on the menu), but when i installed root manager to disinstall some apps that cannot be disinstalled from android default.

when i open root manager it says that superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly and i have to forceclose, or sometimes it takes long time to open the app, but anyway i can't do anything.

I also tried to use rom manager and visionary to try to temproot but same thing.

In the end i tried to start in boot mode but i doesn't.

I don't know what to do.

Just did it via GParted method. I alredy had an ext3, so i did not have to format the fat32 - just upgrade to ext4! I can tell it fast :)

Also if you use the data2ext, then it is better to have more partitions.

There is a post in RCSMixHD how to use GParted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
create a gparted boot disc [ i used magiciso] then turn off your pc. restart your pc and get into the boot mennu [its f2 for me] set your cd drive higher in the list then your hdd. save changes. restart with disc in drive. it will load linux. while it is still loading, atach your phone in disk storage mode. i found if i hooked in my phone whengparted was completely loaded, it owuldnt recognuze my phone but if i had my phone loaded and ready when gparted finally fished loading, it would recognize it right of the bat. creating partitions is easy to do. and i recommend rc mix hd. i use it myself and its the best all around hd rom i could find and the only 1 i havent tried yet is cool hd v2a.

Does a rooted NC play videos? Like xvid, mkv, mpg etc?
[Nook Color General] cflynt:
Yes and No. It does, but won't use the hardware decoder as of YET, but I foresee that being fixed in time. But will play via software no problem. But MKV's that were 720P I had issues with in RockPlayer. Cuz the software just couldn't handle it. But what I did was used handbrake and converted the video to mp4 which will play via the hardware decoder and play beautifully. But normal XVID and DIVX should play fine via 3rd party player like Rock Player

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bullhead00:
Back when I had a Windows Mobile 6.5 device (Touch Pro AND Touch Pro2), there was an option under bluetooth settings that would allow the system sounds to play through any Bluetooth headset. It was a little checkbox that said, "Play all system sounds through remote hands-free device" and all you had to do was check it! You did NOT have to have an A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) headset. When this option was enabled, not only would the system sounds play through the headset, but any sound, including MUSIC, would play through any standard Bluetooth headset.

Being as how Android is worlds ahead of WM 6.5, you'd figure there would be an option to do this! Can anyone provide any insight into this topic??

Its missing out of most 2.2.1 ROMs.

Download "battery booster" app from market. U can set it to whatever u want in it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXclusiveOR:
found this thread when searching for the same problem. the "stay awake" option is gone in stock rom, too, so it has nothing to do with custom roms. i think it's gone since 2.2 version.

the suggested "battery booster" app isn't quite the same, because it also keeps the screen on when not charging, and you will always have to manually toggle it off and on, which always needs severals touches to do.

i have found StayAwake (by runks) which offers a "Stay awake if plugged" option, which should resemble the behavior of the original "Stay awake" setting earlier android versions have. so far it works, but it's not the first app i am trying - the last one worked for a while but then after some hours the screen suddenly turned off despite being plugged. hope this one will work better.
