What kind of input are looking for in the TV. All of those cables are RCA just FYI. Lots of newer TV's are component or HDMI only.
[General Questions and Answers] xokmillzo:
Also that desktop dock does not appear to have any video out functionality at all. Sorry for the double post
[General Questions and Answers] techker:
well the cable that is supose to be used is the rca to headphone jack..

in the vid you see the usb to plus as well..

but im shure it needs the special plug for this from samsung..no?

the dock is just for charge.

Why the apps having the worst users' reviews are shown as "Recommended Apps" ???

Hello,

How are the "Recommended Apps" selected by the Marketplace?

I am tired to see all the apps having actually the worst users' reviews be selected by Micorosoft and promoted on the Marketplace.

For instance, this week I see as recommended the games "Castlevana Puzzles" (rated only 1 star over 5) and "Deer Hunter" (rated only 1.5 star over 5) !!! Most reviews of these games state that they are not very good.

So therefore, by WHOM are they recommended ? I wonder. Not by the users for sure.

In my opinion the most important opinion is the customers' one.

MS, please stop 'recommending' apps that the users said they don't like.

How to find on the Marketplace only the apps that the USERS RECOMMEND (not MS), that is to say the ones with 3, 4 or 5 stars?

Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
I believe it is based on the number of downloads, which is a completely different metric from the ratings.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00306:
I don't think so. My app appeared on the featured list once for a while and it only has <100 downloads to this date!

It looks to be fairly random to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleak Morn:
That'd be nice. Maybe if devs know that even crappy apps will be randomly "featured" they'll have a little pride and reduce apps that aren't so shoddy.

It's also nice because apps that might otherwise not be seen will get some time in the spotlight. Could be a big deal for someone - I know it would be for me.

Back in the WMP9 days I made a few skins that people liked for their simplicity (they were designed to be "always on top"). After MS featured them on a skins site and they got a high rating they amounted to about half of my site traffic.

A little free attention from MS can make a huge difference for a smalltime dev.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I totally understand your point of view.

Nonetheless, I would probably like/prefere to have an "Apps recommended by users". I mean the apps with the best feedback from the ones that really tested the apps. Indeed, number of download means nothing.

Strange that the Marketplace does not include this. It seems natural to me.

It would be good because:

- it will encourage developers to make good apps and get a high ranking,

- it will allow users to discover and install apps that have a positive feedback. It does not mean that a lot of people aready installed it. Maybe only one or two people only installed the app, found it very good. Thanks to its high ranking, the app will be discovered by other people.

Also, I do not think that apps such as Deer Hunter or Castlevania need to be promoted like they currently are on the Marketplace: firstly, they are mediocre Xlive games. Secondly, better to promote independant small developers that Xlive games developed by Microsoft. Microsoft do not really need to promote their own game, especially when they are not so good.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleak Morn:
Keep in mind, ratings can be gamed as well. One vote for 5-stars could result in a 5-star rating for a 1-star app.

A while back I had an issue with the Zune software - wanted to get a list of all of my songs based on whether or not they were ZunePass (DRM) songs, or MP3's I'd bought with my 10 monthly song credits. The idea was to use the credits on the songs I've listened to most but hadn't yet unlocked.

I was having getting the software to do what I want, so I asked how to do it in the Zune forums. When that didn't get the answer I wanted, I communicated with some Zune MVP's via Twitter. They connected me with one of the Zune application development leads at MS (also on Twitter) and I directed him to the article in the Zune forums where he helped me troubleshoot and fix the issue.

One of the things I like about MS is that when I poke around, they usually put me in touch with someone who can directly solve my problem (like the app dev lead).

In this case, he provided me with a simple work-around for the problem I was having, but if you need a new app feature it's nice to be able to tell the guy in charge directly. :)

Oh, and if you end up taking this approach I'd love it if you'd post the link to your Zune forums thread here so I can follow along since it's an issue I might encounter soon.

I'm trying to install one the the new EB13 roms without the CIQ, the instructions call for WIPE, WIPE, WIPE your data. When you are asked to wipe data, does that means also davlik & cache? & if it's so in which order do I do it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
In clockwork recovery

Power off then hold down camera + power + Vol. down

The third option down select that before you flash a rom do it three times to avoid complications

Then you want to do the fourth one down "Wipe cache Partirion"

Do that three times also

Then go into "advanced" and select "wipe Dalvik Cache"

Do that three times also

Next you'll want to flash a rom

"Install zip from Sd card"

then

"choose zip from sd card"

simply select the rom you placed on your sd card

after its installed just reboot if it didn't already and there you go

In the past, when I have had devices with GPS when I start up the app that uses it, GPS starts automaticaly and stops when you close the app.

now whenever I use Google maps or such I always forget to star GPS first is there a setting?.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I just leave the GPS on all the time. My observation is that it doesn't do anything unless an app uses it. My settings are:

Use wireless networks - not checked

Use GPS satellites - checked

Use assisted GPS - unchecked

I have all three options checked for quicker gps locks...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
I never have GPS enabled unless I need it. I have the toggle on the home screen in my power control Widgets config.

I am wondering though, why would you have location by wireless networks not enabled?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I don't use location by wireless networks because I will not agree to Google's terms of service to do so. By agreeing you allow Google to collect location info from your phone even when there are no apps using any location services. I honestly think that this is why some people have battery issues when they leave GPS on. I do not see any way to opt out of this collection of information even if you turn use wireless networks off.

I don't use the assisted GPS because it states on the settings page that the GPS is more accurate without it.

I see the same battery life with GPS on or off.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henly:
The whole point is battery life, I dont use the gps all the time and I have a mugen 1800 battery but that still need charging after about 6 hours even with gps off.

But to go back to my original question is there a setting or app to allow the turning on of gps when its needed
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
Settings/Location and security. Maybe search the market for a widget
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
You can use tasker to automate turning on the GPS when you run specific apps.

As I wrote before I leave GPS on all the time with no adverse effect on battery life. I honestly believe that you only have issues with the GPS and battery life (when not using nav) if you accept the Google terms of service for location by wireless networks. Even if you then turn off that settings there is no way to revoke the permissions you give Google so they can use your GPS in the background for their data collection.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3105162:
Interesting mine says uncheck to reduce network usage. What froyo are you running? But network usage is the main battery life consumer on my phone, I may go a couple days with that unchecked to see what the effects are even though I have no problems with my battery life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
The poor bluetooth stack in HTC Sense does not allow for connections from certain types of devices (wii remote included). The only way to connect a wii remote to your phone at this time is to be running a NON-sense rom (CM for example). The only way to get the HDMI out is to be running a Sense rom, so you can see the problem here...

Basically, as of now, you can't get a wii remote AND HDMI support at the same time on an EVO.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post and say i found a guy on eBay selling OEM (i hope!) car mounts for i9000.

link: http://goo.gl/LHr5z

I just ordered mine a few days ago and im looking forward to getting my hands on it.

I know its too late to ask for details but what is the situation with car vibration for this mount? (i like to record while i'm driving)

I previously had a HTC D1 with OEM mount and it was perfect, then i switched to HTC D2 and i took a cheap $2,99 mount and it was terrible: i broke after 3 days but i managed to glue it back and even make it a bit more stable but the charger was not powerful enought for when i used GPS... so this time i will stick with the original products!

I will post after i get the item and let you know.

Cheers.

I agree, it's not cheep but as I mentioned before the cheep one I took for my previous phone was useless.

Ebay was the only place I could find an OEM car mount and this guy was the only one how had them. Surprisingly I could not find them at any shop here in romania.

I bought one from the same guy, no problems and it seems genuine. It is expensive but includes a good charger, has the USB plug that automatically triggers car dock mode and can output external audio, and the stability and the strength of the windscreen clamp is excellent.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
I believe I am unable to use this kernel because the frame rate is uncapped. This causes my display to go fuzzy as the GPU doesn't like something about the difference. I have noticed this on every kernel that has been uncapped has this issue on my device. Is there a way to turn this off (by app or otherwise) or perhaps there's a version of overstock kernel that that is still "capped"?

The only BLN kernel I have used with any success is the Categorically Worthless one. However, I think that kernel has a bug that mutes the mic in my bluetooth headset during a call. Very annoying. This kernel is no longer being maintained so I don't expect there to be any resolution if it is the kernel. So, I thought I might replace it with overstock aside from the fuzzy display. The stock (voodoo) KA6 / KA7 kernels don't manifest either of these issues. I would prefer not to have to give up BLN.

I am unaware of any other kernel that includes BLN but does not uncap the FPS. So if anyone knows of another without either of the above issues that also has BLN support, please post it here. I'm still using the CW kernel for BLN support but would prefer to move to something else. Any assistance would be much appreciated. :cool:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buru898:
Fuzzy display? You could try changing your LCD density to something smaller than 240 (I use 210) because it makes everything look sharper for a temporary fix?

It's like changing the resolution on your computer from 640x480 to 800x600 :).

Same issue here
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Yes. It's hard to explain. It's like the refresh rate (Hertz) is off or something. The screen occasionally jitters or shakes like it's having a seizure.

I've changed this before to see how it looked but have been running the stock density since. I don't want to change that. The stock kernels and CW kernel don't have this issue at any pixel density. Thanks for the potential workaround / input.

You won't find it there. You'll likely want to download an app (easiest way) from the market to do or edit your "build.prop" file. You can edit on the device with Root Explorer. Otherwise you can pull it onto the computer then push it back after changing it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Well, I updated my CW kernel. An unexpected update, I'm going to take it for a spin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgz01:
Same thing happens to me, it makes my entire screen slightly jitter/appear to shake. Thankfully for me, once I power the screen off and back on, the jittering goes away completely until the next time I reboot the phone. It comes back after every reboot, but being able to clear it as easily as I have been is a small price to pay for an awesome kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
For those unaware or those who have come to this thread for answer to the questions I originally had, you might benefit from the (uncapped) kernel here...

you might want to review you settings/app settings.

CM7 + SZ Kernel has been yielding great battery life for lots of folks on here.

There are a few that have reported horrible battery life but there are other factors to consider that will impact battery life.

Tweak your settings, download Juice Defender, set profiles in SetCPU, etc.

You can get great battery life from this setup if you set things correctly.

Hey All. I have been on a roller coaster with My Samsung Epic.

Recently I Finally from DK28 updated to Froyo for my Samsung Epic and flashed Viper trinity ROM on it. It was cool up until certain apps did not work well such as Tom the talking Cat and Hulu. Furthermore I rely heavily on my Sprint Navigator, which was Removed after the Viper ROM flash.

I tried to factory restore and reset but had no luck, my phone actually never was able to reset as from the Privacy reset through the Phones gui it would freeze, and if I did the -vol, camera, and power it still kept the viper ROM.

With out further reading I watched a youtube video and ended up using Odin 1.6 and reset it back to DG27. I tried to than only update to 2.2 Froyo without adding any fancy Roms but it failed to do so.

Thats when I read it could only be flashed forward if its DK28. Im suck now and cant get back to DK28. Ive tried Odin again with the SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-Rel.Tar.MD5, and sometimes removing the .MD5 part.. but odin still gives me errors. ive been at this for the last 9 hours and could use some help, guidance and actual Links that are not broken or have a 404 error on them.

-

Problem: Cannot use Odin to get back to DK28 and is stuck on DG27

Solution I want: To be able to take my crappy Samsung Epic and make it Epic with Froyo 2.2 so I can one click root it, installing Flash and Hulu.
