I agree mostly with what you are saying. I'm actually more concerned about their lack of focus on hardware updates. There seems to be 100's of new Android phones with newer hardware released daily and with WP7 the same hardware is still there. MS needs to up the minimum specs so that they come with an 8MP camera, minimum 16GB memory, front facing camera, minimum screen size, etc...the phones that are out now are not bad but they are mainly just re-hashes of other products...I know Nokia will hit the ball out of the park in this department but I'd like to see a growing ecosystem, not just from Nokia in the future.

The OS will add features as time goes by and will catch up and perhaps surpass the competition but I agree that they are screwing it up now...they should be releasing incremental features on an ongoing basis but I think we all know why they are not doing that-carriers. Telus here in Canada is saying that NODO will not be out for another month or so which is just silly. MS is trying to cosy up too much to the dumb pipe owners...they need to just release updates themselves for each phone. I can see some exceptions to that rule such as if they release a feature that consumes copious amounts of bandwidth, they should get the approval from the dumb pipe owners but for just a small update like NODO this is silly...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Agreed but you are going out of your way in multiple threads to piss on WP7...you don't like it...we get it...

Move on now...

I don't understand people like you. Why do you waste so much of your time to piss people off. I don't care for Android for multiple reasons but I'm not going to sit by in threads to knock the OS...some people like it some don't...same with ios

It's just a phone.:rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
if by multiple you mean 2 threads expressing my opinion then yeah I guess I'm posting in "multiple" threads. You are actually then posting in multiple threads about how it's "just a phone"

btw the "just a phone" argument goes out the window when you're on xda, if it was "just a phone" for you then you wouldn't be so offended and actually be on the forums attempting to defend it.

I actually DO like WP7 and run it on my phone and enjoy using it, I guess this whole attitude of "Android and iOS fanboys are so stupid, even though we are acting just like way we try to ascribe to them" gets a little tired, but you're right I should just let it go. I'm not actually trying to be antagonistic I guess it kind of came off that way.

and you're right it is "just a phone" yet someone actually opened up a thread on praising and loving microsoft.

I do like WP7, Android and iOS a lot, I just wish WP7 was further along and that MS would handle updates a little better. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Translation: "I don't want to discuss it, I want to become the WP7 equivalent of an iphone fanboy."
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I personally don't have any problem with that. If that's what someone wants, they should be allowed to have it. As long as our freedoms and liberties cause no harm to others, everything should be allowed.

Maybe the admin. here at XDA can sticky a *strictly* appreciation thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
this is a forum for discussion, I don't think the mods would ever stoop so low as to only allow posting in it with one agreed opinion. so long as things don't go off-topic disagreements will always be allowed.

You can always send MS a letter or even one of those thank you cards where you can record your very own song :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Hehe...MS would not want to hear the song I would record. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
lol,

you'd have to slap one of those "parental advisory, explicit lyrics" stickers on that bad boy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
Couldn't have said it better. I posted in another thread (look for it through my profile as it's kind of sick to post it over here too) about my love for all things WM for soooooo long. Lots of good things about the OS. BUT seriously, the things missing are just too great and common in every other OS, for anyone to think it's OK. I put up with it and defended them for too long. I even laughed at folks who were already upset about MS and their lack of delivering. I've fought for them on twitter (kwill30) against Android fans. And I'm just tired of it. ****ing 10 ringtones (that all suck), no video through MMS (what if some tard doesn't have or use email on their phone). Audio from video doesn't play through my bluetooth headphones (why the **** would I put them on if I wanted audio playing through the phone). Separate inboxes, camera modes that were designed to not stick, no usb mass storage, mutltasking and API's non-existent to third parties, (I can't even use an alarm program that actually wakes me up....MSFT alarm clock is terrible). And not to mention at night, I go through about 15 ****ing steps to put my phone on silent and use it to wake up in the morning (as it's on vibrate or sound+vibrate all day). Scroll to settings, tap sounds and notif, toggle both switches. Hit home, scroll to alarm clock program, then launch it and allow it to sit there. And pray I don't accidentally disable while checking a last minute text or wake in the morning trying to hit the snooze on it. THey should make a commercial about stupid **** like that and maybe they'll get the point.

And that my friend, was the funniest thing I've heard all day!! LMAO!!!

Bump. Please don't pollute this thread with complaints. There are plenty of them around. It seems I am not the only one who is sick with everyone complaining. Please show support for MS!
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
bro,

if "everyone" is complaining, then you're certainly in the minority, which is the problem MS is facing macro-cosmically speaking.

Windows Phone 7: Why it's failing

http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-phone-7-why-its-failing?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

for me,supports need to be fair and the product we supporting needs to be satisfying.This is the real support please support before you can differentiate you are supporting a company,a product,your own stand point,your arguments or statements.

I love windows 7,zune,iOS,android, but definitely not WP7 and the behaviour of M$ at this moment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
the best thing you can do if you love wp7 is to leave xda. I don't see the attitude of the masses here on xda changing since they are programmed to believe you have to root/unlock, flash custom ROMs, update kernels daily for your phone to work properly.

If they would just take a break from xda, buy some games for their phones, use zune to find some music and videos, sit back and enjoy their phones, then maybe this perception would change.

But I'm not holding my breath (and going back to try and finish Twin Blades before I lose it forever).

not to high jack this thread . but i had the same problem .

and now after a recovery ( finally ) the phone isnt working very well . the hard keys work then then suddenly they dont .

damn . i need a new phone
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxvpro:
After 2 hours of phone being on....

My Thunderbolt booted to the recovery menu only. I tried recovery, it went throught the gyration and back to the recovery menu again. I tried all the other options too and still the same recovery menu.

There was some direct sunlight for a couple of hours but not really intense heat, and when I pulled the back off there was some condensation around the camera lens. I'm wondering if this would've caused it.

I had to get order a new phone (insured) because VZW couldn't do anything about it either. This issue was similar to mine, so I didn't start a new thread.

Any ideas?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
If I do a compleat format of rom space ie system, data, cache, my phone will only boot to fast menu, perhaps your phone's rom space has been wiped, another possibility is bad sectors/bad blocks on the storage space have developed at the begining of the boot sector? please excuse my winblows terminology maybe that should be called mount points not boot sector.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
Seems like when I fixed DSPManager my music pauses when I get a notification while listening to music. It's annoying as hell. I've tried to configure the CyanogenMod settings to not do this, but it won't stop. I'm using CM7 Build #22. It only happened after fixing DSPManager (clearing cache). I've since removed it, and it still does it. It pisses me off, specially since I have people on iPhone's that seem to think it's appropriate to send me 50 texts in a row with one sentence on each line.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_16:
Did u configure anything from CM settings under sound setting? Silent state blah blah blah?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I get exactly the same on CM7 RC2. Music pauses for a notification, but no notification sound. I often wonder for a couple seconds why the music stopped before I realize someone has texted. I never cleared the DSPManager cache.

I actually don't mind that I get the notification (don't get texts as frequently as the OP), so I'd actually like to hear the notification ringtone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
Yeah, I initially didn't configure any of that - but when I cleared DSPManager (sick of it crashing when I hung the phone up) it started doing the pause thing. It's annoying hahaha.

Yeah, I do get a lot of emails too (work email / personal). So like, when I'm on the train trying to zone out with my new Roc Nation Aviators (love them) and I'm getting pauses about "OMG DA NETWURK B DOWN" I start getting mad. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
This is still an issue - even in CM7 RC4
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverton:
I have found that if I get many notifications in quick succession, the music will stay paused. That is what I find annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
I'm going to lose my mind lol. **** is annoying as hell.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizzymo:
I AGREE! lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERKJONES:
I figured it out - you have to disable the "Always Play Notification on Speaker" in CM Settings > Sound.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Ok, like the title states I have a little dust in the upper left hand corner. Thing is I am within my 30 days, BUT when purchasing my EVO they only had the white back. So I bought replacement parts and now I have a solid black EVO :) I called my local sprint and they told me bring in the phone and they would be happy to "clean" and "reseal" my EVO. Well if I bring it in with the black back they will blame the dust on me, of course. So do I put the white parts back on, and if I do how do I recreate that little screw cover (tamper tape)? I also have one stuck pixel, thats not really a issue and I had decided not to return my phone due to the single stuck pixel, thats a little anal. If it effected anything like my clock widget, well yes, but I have to search to see it.

Anyway back to topic...

What do I do for this situation;

A. clean it myself

B. take it in with black parts

C. put white parts on and play dumb when it comes to tamper tape

D. put white parts on and use black electrical tape for tamper tape, demand new phone

E. or STFU and DEAL WITH IT!!!!

F. other (explain)

think of this as your phone when answering, if you know something is their it is hard to ignore.

Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I would go with C. because it looks just like you got it,a nd if you had "no clue" about more reason for it to a be factory default.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
OK, do I let them do a cleaning? I am happy with my EVO, that one stuck pixel is not a issue to me. The dust coming in at that location seems to be a problem. From reading the dust enters through the headphone jack, maybe I can make a little plug or something once it is cleaned, or replaced.

So, Clean or replace? LOL I know its petty but if there is dust in 2 weeks what will it be in 2 months!

Thanks :)

edit...I dont care to return and wait for EVO 3D, not sold on Dual Core (yet) and deff dont care for 3D junk!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well, I'd take it in, and ask for the cleaning, since you're content with the issue. Or you could push the replacement at first and if they're all welllllllll blah blah, then go for the cleaning. But I think you should be able to win either way. And not petty, if I had dust I'd get mine taken care of.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I agree, its not petty so to speak, but they will try to make one feel that way. When we took my wifes optimus S in for a bad LCD they were trying to make us feel like A Holes, by complaining over a minor detail. The LCD was not 100%, towards the bottom of the display a thin green line would appear when certain colors were on screen, mainly gray. How often did that occur, not very, but when it did a green line was NOT supposed to be there. lol

I will put white parts on and get the cleaning, unless they offer to replace (doubt they will), if dust is back in a week, I will demand new phone then.

Thanks for your input :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well they were just being lazy reps, and should have done their job, all about the customer satisfaction, and it was within reason. And sound like a good plan of attack. And no problem. :)

The most speed increase will probably bring you a custom rom.

I would suggest consulting the search for some time and then to flash a rom of your preference. Here are some hints:

-make sure you have 3 Button Mode working

-get clockworkmod recovery working on your phone

-flash a rom

I can recommended the rom-kitchen.

Everything on how you can accomplish all this will be provided by the search function or google :p.

P.S.: oclf i an app that, while voodoo is a whole new system kernel and yes voodoo's kernel is pretty awesome :-).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
Ive flashed the trinity kernel...and although it boasted high speeds.....My wifi would not work....... I then flashed the netarchy kernel and that seemed fine at first but after starting an intensive memory app it kept rebooting phone.....I seem to be having no luck with any kernels...can someone maybe suggest a kernel that just works with CM7 Rc2 and just gives me slightly better gains to make NS run a bit smoother......
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Netarchy is fine. I'm using it with the latest nightly build #25. Never encountered reboots, its something else.

1. Wipe Cache & Dalvik-Cache

2. Fix Permissions

3. Flash Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS (CM7 Compatiable)

Should cause the best possible performance with the kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highland3r:
Ditto to this.

Try the CFS version (if you haven't) IIRC it *seems* to work slightly more reliably than the BFS version.

Also I assume you're not trying to OC the CPU - if you are, just leave at default if you're getting stability issues.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattdub1:
try ogdobbers kernel for cm7. I have version 1.3.1.5 and its smooth as butter. I have tried others but they seem unstable and I also am not a fan of overclocking my phone. Its a stock kernel with the ext4 hack that makes your phone run very fast and smooth without risks of overclocking. I haven't had a single problem with it and have been running it for about a month now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
All of netarchy's kernels are not OC'd by default. To OC it you have to manually do it. So what you said about kernels being OC'd is wrong. This thread has only mentioned Netarchy's kernel so I'm assuming that you thought Netarchy's kernel OC'd by default. It's automatically set at stock speeds. It includes ext4 hack as well.

Ogdoober's modified stock is just too plain for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
What's this app that you're talking about? Was it a game?

I've only used Netarchy's so far and never had a problem. Make sure to at least try the CFS version. My phone doesn't like 1.4 ghz, but I've used it without any problems at 1.2 ghz. Right now I'm back to stock speed since I don't see any benefits to overclocking it for my usages.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netarchy:
Correct. My builds enable the ability to over clock, but run at stock speeds by default. It's always your choice.

For what it's worth, I usually run at stock myself ;D

Hi guys,

I bought a Nexus S yesterday which is the "new" i9023

It comes with 2.3.3 GRI54 built in already and it's supposed to be using the Super Clear LCD

One thing I noted is I couldn't install custom rom due to a error in the recovery menu about the cache. Which I couldn't find any info on the web. Apparently, there are a few people with this new model who have the same problem as me. So I assume this new model is "unrootable" for now.

Is there any way I could fix this? Or i'm just screwed buying Nexus S too late?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offenberg:
I have the newer nexus s too. And it was easy to root.

You need to unlock your bootloader, and there are loads of guides in this forum.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
I did follow the guides on the forum. But after unlocking the bootloader and installing the recovery menu and superuser, the recovery menu shows error messages about the cache, which was pointed out in this post

I reckoned that since most of the users who had that problem was using the new Nexus S, its the problem with the new Nexus S. But I think its not the case now since you have it and it works fine.

Mine is the i9023 like yours, but I had gri40 pre installed.

Maybe gri54 is the problem.
