[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
My phone, with some frequency is showing me this circular arrow that seems to suggest that something is syncing. I've turned off gmail and facebook syncing, and I am not backing anything up to the cloud. What is my phone doing when it shows this symbol, and how to I control it? Thanks!

The activity is not associated with any app. My phone occasionally creates a screen shot (don't know why), so I have uploaded one at random.

No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.

I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.

But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.

And is there a work around for the market place issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.

Here is the short answer.

You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NEDSTER1972:
you can use navigon with uk maps.

Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM

it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.

Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.

These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"

I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)

I can vent cant i?

My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ocacia:
honestly why did they make it so hard?

Why force people to depend on the internet?

Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.

Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?

Document sync needs another PhD.

I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.

W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.

I use Kies 1.5.3 (the last version to work with my T-Mo Vibrant) at work to sync my outlook calendar.

Just today I got notification about an upgrade to Kies 2.0 (all new and shiny and now able to also sync email).

Did anyone try this?

Does it work with the Vibrant (I have stock 2.2)?

I would hate to install/reinstall if somebody went through this trouble already and found out that it doesn't work.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] VibrantLov3r:
Don't do it!!

I just went through this with my T-Mo Vibrant and didn't think to check if it was still compatible...well it's not. Working on finding a hack right now. If I find something that works...I'll post link up. Otherwise I will be doing the uninstall/re-install process. Yaaaaaay...sigh. :(
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Do not like Kies too many problems maybe try boxnet and abandon kies
[Vibrant General] MRIMan:
Thanks so much for your replies!

I have my own problems now with Kies 1.5.3 (since the 2.2. upgrade). It acts as if the sync went OK, but the calendar is not synced at all. Will have to dig deeper into this one.

I cannot access box.net or any other web storage facility from work and this is where I want to sync, that's why I am dependent on Kies. :(
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Haven't tried from stock firmware but the new Kies does work from AOSP Roms.

[Vibrant General] BALivindream:
I have never been able to get samsung kies to work properly.

I love samsung hardware, but don't think they put as much effort into their software.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The main issue is simple: Vibrants aren't supported.

Which is a shame, because Kies does have a lot of functionality that would make owning this phone a lot less... cumbersom.

I'm speaking more towards media synching and managing information and stuff on the phone.

If the phone was actually supported Kies would be much less of a headache. It will still be bloated and have terrible performance (compared to say Zune, iTunes, or HTC Sync), but it would at least work as expected for us.

I would like to flash the rom on my NC with the screamer overclock kernel. Is there a way I can make a backup of my apps and settings, then flash the rom with the new kernel and then restore my apps and settings on the new kernel? I have both the free versions of Titanium Backup and Clockworkmod installed.

I know I can make a full backup and restore the rom back to that back-up... so I am hoping that saving and restoring just the apps and settings is possible. I am something of a noob to these applications!

How long does battery last?

My battery lasts on average 6-7 hour on work days. It would last much longer but i am a heavy user. By heavy user i mean I use my phone for browsing the net on 3g and downloading lots of data such as photos, dropbox, and rdc into my home pc for 5+ minutes at a time throughout the workday. There are of course the endless emails and text messaging throughout the day also which may not take a lot of data power but it does use power to have the screen on. With this kind of usage my phone gets under 10% battery after about 2hr 30min of screen on time. I see this battery life as expected given the way I use my phone. It is no worry to me though seeing as I carry 2 extra batteries with me in my pocket, though I never drain the second one under 60% before I get home.

One difference I do see is the idle drain is considerably more with voodoo enabled. This however doesnt put a dent into the way I use my phone.. I just may have to pop my second battery in a little sooner. It would be nice if this community would stop obsessing over battery life so much and just buy an exrtra battery or 2 and be done with it.

So far am very pleased with this setup. My battery will not drain when screen is off. Probably 2-3% and hour, if that if not used. I haven't always had this though. I recently, two days ago, exchanged my first Vibrant which was bought the minute it came out because I had a feeling there was something wrong with the phone since it gave me ****ty battery life no matter what Rom/Kernel/Modem I was using. They even sent me a new battery previously to the phone exchange. So if you have crappy battery life and you bought the phone close to the day it came out, its a good chance it might be a bad one ( at least my experience). I am still in shock that I don't have to throw my phone on charge right when I get home after work. It lasts ALL DAY!
