[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Hey I've been playing cod2 online a lot on my computer lately and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to lower my ping usually it stays under 300 but evryonce in awhile it'll randomly jump above 500 and the ping police get me and I get kicked of the server so I was wondering if there were any tweaks I could do to wirless tetherfrom Google like changing frequencys exc

BTW I'm Mr. Melee on alteriwnet if anyone wants to.hit me up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
Wow. You can tether COD over your phone? Hot damn that's a good speed! I get crap over here. :'(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Yea its actually not that bad lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
Yeah, well I envy your speed brother. As for the tether, I don't think nothing can be done besides hardware check and phone positioning. There might be something out there that, if installed, would make your wireless access card run more effeciently with the rooted wireless tether program, but I'm not sure.

However, in your search you DO find a solution, let us know! I'll be having this Hero until a dual core comes out, so I got plenty of months ahead!

So as hawk2k8 has posted about, the Motorola site doesn't have the 'Buy Now' on their website right now (at least temporarily) and the speculation goes... it could be a price change, out of stock, or revamping the listing to add Flash and 4G info. So let's play out the price change part of it for a little fun!

My thoughts are that it seems a bit odd that they have the 3G/4G price at $800 and will put out the wifi version a full $200 below. I just can't imagine a vendor having that large of a separation between the models. And yes, I know their rep said it would be around the $600-ish mark, not debating that, just saying its a big difference for having 3G/4G. It would be an even bigger difference if the wifi sold at $539 as that 'Android 2.0 Homeycomb' sign showed. :D

So, what IF! What if they dropped the price of 3G to $599. Then the wifi model at $539 wouldn't sound so odd. Then maybe they give the early adopter buyers a $100 rebate so the pain of buying early wasn't so bad. Those that bought from stores like Costco would likely return it if the window was large enough and the wifi version came out during their return window. But my guess is most will be in the 14-30 day window and not return it. Or maybe Motorola will not give a rebate and just say that you paid for the experience of the XOOM as an early adopter.. who knows..

So let's stir up some fun speculation. I said FUN! Let's hear it! What's your wild speculation if they did change the price?
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
I'm certainly no marketing expert but I know my friends that have Apple products and those that have Android products are pretty much different when it comes to technology. Apple, its like no thinking involved, you want a movie or song plug it in and iTunes does all the work. Xoom, not so easy. Motorola/Google/Android really need something that simple. Apple, you don't think about encoding settings, and for the masses thats great. With the Xoom, there is so much confusion with "experts" trying to decide how to encode a movie; I don't use mine for movies so I don't follow it closely.

To answer your question with my two cents, if they want to compete with the iconic iPad, a great device (I have one), they need to get an iTunes like program. If they don't have that they'll never appeal to the average consumer with this type of device and will be on the fringes of the tablet market. Motorola Media Link got pretty good reviews (I never tried it with my Droid or DX) and why this isn't ready for the Xoom, Jha should hang his head in shame.

If you're shopping in Best Buy for a tablet, the ipad 2 is $600, what would it take to even consider the Xoom? I think the Xoom would have to be at least $75 south of a similar spec'd ipad to get someone that wants a tablet to take a good look at it.
[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
So to be sure I stem the potential... I don't want this be an ipad v. xoom controversy. As they say, let's keep it to the facts m'am. Just want to hear ideas about pricing speculation. =)
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@OP

I think Moto will stick to the original MSRP, at least for a while. Until April, the Xoom will still be the only HC tab in town.

Part of the high pricing is to establish brand position (i.e. Xoom "is a premium product") in consumers' mindset, and not so much about getting more money. Part of it is to protect the smartphone pricing model, given that Moto sell smartphones at ~$500 price point, and a tab is considered as "smartphone-plus", which should command $500+ pricing. If Moto/Samsung/HTC/et al sell tabs at the "laptop" pricing model, there would be considerable downward pressure on their present smartphone pricing.

For laptop vendors, eg Acer/MSI/et al, there is no such dilemma, and their HC tabs will start at around the $400 point. Asus and Dell have smartphone aspirations, and will stick with the "smartphone" pricing model.

The Apple iPad2 is the 800-lbs fly-in-the-ointment in all this. But in econ terms, the demand for either product (iPad2 or Xoom) is relatively price-inelastic, i.e. you aren't likely to buy either on the basis of pricing. Anyone who buys a Xoom at this point is an early adopter who wants to try Android's latest, and price isn't a significant factor. People who buys iPad are likely already partial to the iOS ecosystem, and at this point Apple's simply is more mature and user-friendly. So, while fodder for arguments, relative pricing is not a major factor.

@mgerbasio

Normal users don't do video transcoding, period. For that, the Xoom can be made as simple as Apple's if that's desired. All that's needed is a suitable preset. That's what the early adopters are hashing out. The same occurred for the Apple iPad.
[Xoom General] JOHNGAETANO:
If sales are as bad as the rumors indicate, then I would make the following decisions if I was Motorola:

1. Start a heavy marketing campaign. HEAVY-Hire an advertising firm that will blast the information about the Xoom everywhere. Spend some freaking money.

2. Sell the 3G/4G model at a $599 price point for the 3G/4G, would draw some interest.

3. Sell the WIFI version for $479.00 This $539 price we have seen is a marketing failure. Nobody prices a product at $539. This is simply a dumb, dumb move. $499.00 should be the Max price for the WIFI version.

4. Offer immediate credit to anyone who purchased the Xoom previously. Rebate?

5. Get Verizon to dump the $35, re-activation fee. That is stupid.

6. You need to make a killing on the accessories, and you can't do that without your main product selling. Selling the 3G/4G at cost isn't a bad move, and it certainly wouldn't hurt Motorola. Your not losing money at cost, your just not making any money on your main product. However, you should be making money on the WIFI version.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jokerok:
Guys,

Help me please.MicroUSB pins are broken.

I cannot charge my phone neither use a USB cable.

Can I send it to SE ?

PS: IM FROM ESTONIA...

Phone rooted, custom ROM Floyo...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Why don´t you ask SE?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HerrKuk:
I dont think SE like root and floyo.

Try to restore original firmware with xRecovery, and try to wipe all traces of root.

Borrow a friends battery if you need, as example my old C905s works in this phone.

Or just kill it, run over it with a car, drop it from 6th floor etc and use your home insurance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
What root and floyo have to do with a physical damage?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
Rooting and custom rom will void warrenty so is you root it you they just won't help you

But flash se rom and they wont see it then next problem... how to flash
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jokerok:
On the forum I saw a guy with x10 mini and he's from Estonia too.

I can transfer files via WIFI the app called file expert.

Maybe i could ask him to make a backup of his stock rom, then just restore it ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mozart40:
A physical damage repaired SE anyway to guarantee. Therefore, the loss due to root no matter warranty
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jokerok:
Or maybe I could use another MicroUSB port and solder it to the phone ?

The major players in the mobile navigation market don't work on a port of their famous gps applications for WP7.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
That's because WP7 isn't currently capable of that type of nav. It requires APIs that MS hasn't released yet. But when the updates start coming, maybe those will happen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Wrong. Navigon has an app out there already using no internal APIs (apart from the one giving access to IMEI/IMSI numbers).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy28:
API's should be available long time ago because Navigon made a carrier-restricted MobileNavigator app, Telmap made a carrier-restricted app and there's the freely available beta a-to-b app in the marketplace.

Unfortunately Navigon is restricted to T-Mobile and only offes a germany (dach) map and the telmap and a-to-b app are online apps. Could get quite expensive, if you're not in your carrier's net (roaming).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
So you guys are saying WP7 can now do turn by turn voice guided nav?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
It's always been able to - just not thru Bing maps [yet]. All the APIs necessary are available to developers (i.e. Location API).

I've been using Navigon since launch pretty much and while the app still leaves a bit to the imagination it does indeed work as expected. Also very quick in getting a lock and seems to track my location very precise.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hukkguai:
There is Telenav which is available for $10 a month for voice nav which has been available for a while now. Don't think it's worth the $10 but wireless employees get the service for free. :p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
That's good to know. I was lead to believe the system didn't yet have this ability. Are these apps currently available and as good as their counterparts?

Just did a market search for Navigon and came up unfound.

Jesus frikking Christ! The market is so sluggish! It is such a pain in the rear trying to browse the damn thing. Scrolling is painful and loading takes forever.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PieOfJustice:
|I just checked all the markets and there is no app called "Telenav"
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy28:
Navigon uses the same maps as the iPhone version so theoretically there should be no differences between the versions.

Unfortunately, you will only find Navigon in the marketplace if you're using a t-mobile germany/austria sim card or t-mobile germany/austria branded device. Navigon said they're working on a carrier independent version but they did not mention a specific release date.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
But I am using a T-Mobile branded device. My HD7 is specific to T-Mobile in the US.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy28:
Telenav is only available for T-mobile US carrier customers.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
I couldn't find it either.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Navigon is exclusive to TMODE, Telenav is exclusive to TMOUS and AT&T Navigator is exclusive to, wait for it, AT&T :)

Navigon is the best one though as it's "offline" navigation and there are no monthly fees.

I spoke to Navigon not long ago and I believe their exclusivity deal runs out around mid-summer which means we should find the app available for everyone in the marketplace. They have recently updated their existing app from v1.4 to 2.1 which is more in-line with competing platforms in terms of functionality also.

It's in the TMOUS marketplace, named T-Mobile Telenav GPS. Currently at v5.9.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
I don't have a T-Mobile marketplace. I have an HTC market, but I also did a direct search for T-Mobile and didn't see the Telenav app. I also typed in "T-Mobile Telenav" and came up not found.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy28:
Thanks for this clarification, emigrating.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Do you not have a TMOUS branded device? Either because you purchased off-contract or flashed a generic ROM? If so, you'll have to side-load. If you do have a branded phone you should be able to click this link from your phones browser however.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
My HD7 is a T-Mobile branded device and was bought from T-Mobile. But I paid for it outright rather than sign a contract for service. It isn't one of those international phones that can be used on any GSM network. It can only be used with T-Mobile...for 3G data, that is. It is sim-unlocked, though.

Is it possible that the sim card needs to be inserted for it to access T-Mobile apps?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
That sounds plausible. Stick your (or any) TMOUS SIM in there and it should give you access to it. Be aware though that the app itself may also be carrier dependant which means you can't run the app without a correct SIM inserted.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
That is the case. I powered down my HD2, which runs an outstanding Energy WinMo ROM...love using that baby...and pulled the sim to put in my HD7. Once booted, I typed in T-Mobile Telenav and was rewarded with the app.

Eh...I now remember why I never used it before...even on my HD2. It costs $10 per month. Would rather spend $30 to $50 for CoPilot or Navigon or Tom Tom or some other downloaded nav and not face a monthly fee. Not having a steady income kind of forbids the extra cost...even though my cellphone bills are paid by my relative. I choose not to take advantage of them.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick109:
I'm suprised no one has paid attention to Outdoor Nav, it's really great software with nearly all features you'd expect from those already stated above. And a beautiful interface.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchitchicruise:
hmm! ok but OutdoorNav downloads with 3 G connection, as for example A to B, it's better when maps are directly in the phone... lol

:-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Yes Outdoor Navigation is really a great software. What a nice UI.

But I am very unhappy with the way it manages offline and downloaded maps.

If you have some network connections the soft wil not grant you access to your downloaded maps.

The problem with all these sotware is that Microsoft says it is mandatory to use some components of Bing, which is so crappy in Europe. So in my country some maps can take almost 30 real seconds to be displayed (!) even with the best 3G network.

Seriously I find more and more annoying that there is still no Turn-by-turn navigation app for wp7.... And still no Google Maps.

I really like WP7 but I am now considering moving to Android.

It's sad but I really need a GPS app for my daily job, and WP7 is apparently unable to provide this :(

At least if something was announced. But I can see nothing. TomTom said they will not work for WP7, Google is fighting against MS currently so they will probably not release Google Maps yet...

And Bing Maps sucks in my country.

witch version? v1.4 or v2.1?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
If you know how to make 2.1 work, get 2.1. I don't know that, so use 1.4.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Thank you very much.

I suppose Ovi Maps will only be available at the end of year 2011 or most likely at the beginning of 2012, which is too late.

I couldn't have imagined that Microsoft would launch WP7 without any GPS app available at launch.

To me a turn-by-turn is an essential feature on a smartphone. MS have been working for 2 years on WP7. I thought they would work hand in hand with a major GPS software developer. But no. Nothing.

More than 6 months after launch there is still nothing. Navigon is not available in my country, and I can't stand Bing Maps which is unusuable.

After having lost a Nook Color on an airplane trip, I am looking to protect my other Android devices. Some apps have remote backups, and monthly fees, and stuff. Some apps assume GPS or 3G which isn't available on some devices, e.g., that Nook Color. Some apps seem to add all kinds of antivirus scanning crap that just slows things down for little value. I just want to be able to have it lock itself down or wipe itself, if it ever connects to the internet and finds a hot flag.
