Hi Folks,
I'm not sure what's happenning today, but the forums are very very slow. I takes about 3 minutes while a white page says "loading" and then everything loads in an instant. Wiki is working fine. Just brining it to someone's attention. Thanks!
Same here, it's been extremely slow all day and sometimes have had "Error 500 internal server error".
Running a little better now but still slow.
Same here in USA, I was getting this "Error 500 internal server error" during the last 8 hours. Finally got on the site just now...
I experienced that today too.
same here but this time i wasn't getting the 500 error
Seem back to normal now, site is now loading very quickly .
Yup, I can confirm that, everything's back to normal.
Today's run normal...
Hi All
I don't know if someone already posted this but i thought i post it anyway. I searched for a easy 2 use GPS Application with good maps and free.
I found this.
http://www.amazegps.com/welcome.php?language=international
I installed it and it worked really good for me. It found all the directions i was searching for and it worked also really good on the street. The "GUI" is easy 2 understand and simple to use.
Check it Out and Have fun with it.
Has anyone tried this? Sounds almost too good to be true?!
Well ive isntalled it, it works,
going to test on the way home this eve and ill post later......

Same - It looks like it's a bit like Google Maps, and runs by downloading images. Not sure about voices.. we'll see!
Ive tryed it and it works really good

Hi
I tried alot of stuff and i have to say honestly that this is the best thing if you dont wanna pay for it.
I tried , tom tom, Navigon and others. But im not willing to pay 300 Swiss franks in my case for something i can get free.
Have fun with it
I tried it out today, seemed to work, finds locations well in the database..
But It got me lost on my first try
Will try it again though, looks promising for a free solutions.

I used it as my primary navigation on my N95 8GB and currently use it on my Diamond2. Works great. They are working on a version so you can download maps offline. Because now it downloads the route through your connection. Using the arrow mode its very / unnoticeable data amount, but using maps might add up a little.

Hi
What you mean by "But It got me lost on my first try" ?

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."
So it needs to be connected to GPRS on the move?

I got lost, it took me to the wrong place, then kept recalculating, I think it was slow to update...
Ive been recently updating my rom to 6.5 and it didnt work initially,
Now ive reinstalled it so will try this evening ;-)

Can the route, once setup (ie start and destination input and a route plotted), be altered??
I'd like to set waypoints, and then adjust the route around known traffic spots, or along roads I particularly want to go one, then have the instructions fed to me by voice.
Google maps on the web allows this - but not the google-mobile version, and I know it's possible on the "paid for" navigation softwares.
malsing maps
tell me if someone got malsing map for this software. where i can download malsing maps?
Tried it again this afternoon , goin from slough to Egham, and worked really well, you need to change the view to the map with arrows option to get a good idea of where you are going, arrows alone done really work too well,
But as a free option, this is pretty good ;-)

It works good with my HTC6800, but when i use it for my HD, after exit the program, the system always error.... then i need to restart it, but if i use the HOME key to exit, then press the right corner to exit, its good...
I have downloaded this software and it looks to be working, yet to use on the open road,
Which WM6 version did you go for?
Communication Problem!
Has anyone who lives in Asia try this? It shows "communication problem" after I launches it. Help Please
Anyone else having problems viewing available APPS this morning ?? If you search it seems ok but the categories keep disappearing. Its only been open to the public for a day and issues with Marketplace already!! or is it just my connection?
Are you talking about via the PC or via the phone itself?
Thought this was just me so re booted the laptop. Evidently not me then. Great!
Looks like an issuse on the Zune software and from the Market place on the phone.
Hopefully it will get sorted soon, i would have thought more shops got delivery of devices today and market place is being hammerd.
Had the issue on both the Marketplace and Zune. Although seems to be working now... well everything seems to be working apart from the exclusive HTC Apps which seems to have disappeared off the edge of the earth...
There will likely be little bugs etc. as Microsoft irons out bugs of launching a brand new OS.
Keep us posted though!
This poll is just for Samsung devices!!!
I have made a poll for Samsung users to see how many Samsung wp7 devices were sucessfully updated... and on which update release...
Omnia 7 8GB, I have updated fine in the end. But here's my story on how.
I've initially tried at work, on my desktop. Failed.
Searched on the net and found someone who freed 4.5 GB (in Zune not in phone) and successfully updated. I freed 4.5 GB but it still failed. I just got home and retried here, different computer, same Zune. It worked! The only difference I did is installed this: MicrosoftFixit50581.msi from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484#ReceiveErrorUpdating because for the first update attempt (from 23 Feb) I was getting the error: C1010007
Hope others can do it like I did, try it on different computers!
Also, I've posted here:

Not working for me, I will try on a laptop but I'm against deleting things or resetting the phone as I shouldn't have to do that .
No notification here yet (Omnia 7 Orange UK). Still I will wait a few days and make sure there are no more horror stories of bricking handsets before trying!

Yup, says i'm up to date at *004 version.
No notification yet, I have a Omnia 7 on Orange UK. Zune says version: 7.0 (7004)
HTC Mozart Orange UK, not yet any notification.
Omnia 7 Orange FR, notified yesterday night, and updated just fine.
(Omnia7 previously flashed with latest Samsung firmware because i've got the bad bootloader 4.10.1.9 preventing update without USB plug )
I update a few days ago never go notifications though, I was just syncing my phone and Zune said there was an update...
I have a O2 Branded HD7 running on Vodafone
still no notification, Omnia 7 on Orange UK.
I finally updated my Omnia 7!
- Tried about 4 times: failed
- Deleted all my music (around 8.5GB): failed
- Deleted all my apps except Engadget and Diodict: failed
Next steps should have been to delete games, then accounts, until I would be left with no choice but to do a factory reset.
Luckily I had TweetDeck tracking the error code in case something came up and surely, @dvroegop found a trick: He turned off Wifi then deleted all his pictures and managed to update straightaway.
At this point I had nothing to lose, really wanting to avoid a factory reset (didn't want to lose Engadget, Diodict apps and game saves) so I gave it a go (deleted videos too) and it worked first try .
Could be pure luck but if you don't want to hard reset it's worth a shot .
Stupid Pice of $#!T phone!!!
I've done the above, received the same results, followed every 'tip' and still get the C1010007 error. I THOUGHT the above mention of deleting EVERYTHING on the phone would help, so I deleted everything and still the same error ... except ... this time it got to 71% of the backup whereas before it always stopped at 68% before it crapped out.
I uninstalled all the applications I had on the phone and tried one last time. Now, the phone goes through the process and only gets to about 55% then $#!ts the bed.
Why is this so dang painful?!?!?! I might as well hard reset at this point. I have a feeling that won't matter and I'll still get this same error.
I have the LG Quantum from at&t and I have to factory reset and still cant update my phone!!! any suggestions?????
I can't download any apps neither can my co-worker.
Works for me(Downloading Youtube Pro as we speak).
hmm thanks
must be our area then we are on the outskirts of Atl but we have tried both wifi and regular 4G (what the device says). Thanks for confirmation though

I have problems too...
In Spain, right now, I'm receiving the c101abb9 error in my Titan
Well I just check again(located in New York) still working for me.Streaming music with my zune pass.
The problem was here too for few hours Now its all ok. Looks like Zune servers were busy updating backend or sthing
Right now is working perfect. Here in Spain.
I had this problem quite a few times today(India) but I dismissed as my connection problem, dont know if Marketplace was down or was it really an issue.
