Im running xplodes MW6.5 on xda lls. I use Iconsoft Phone Extension to manage my contacts which is great (interface and usage), what annoys me is text messaging, its so long winded on ppc. Is there an application you can use that would duplicate your sms and use the info to run its own app(writing,sending) . The windows interface of contacts and messaging leaves a lot to be desired! rga
Aside from those 2 things, what else is missing from WP7? And what in your opinion should be put in future updates? And do you think those things you want will make it?
Finally what do you think of WP7 as a whole compared to Android and iOS? (specifically Android since thats what I know the most)
Thanks in Advance.
Tethering, and using the phone as a Mass Storage device are also missing, a file explorer...even if its just to manage files we download from the web or something, and tethering was somewhat confirmed by microsoft but i dont know the likelihood of mass storage id like it to come in the future but who knows...
yeah I want the mass storage so badly
of course we can make it with some changes in Registry but I think WP7 should make it enable in the next update
Sync multiple but not only the main calendar of an account

Tethering works on my wife's Focus & on my LG Quantum, but you need to unlock it yourself using the phone manufacturer's diagnostics menus.
But what I'm really missing is the ability to do real socket programming, so you could do stuff like rdp, true streaming media players, etc...
"living in the cloud" is flawed when you can't use socket programming for true network access ( what the "cloud" is all about )
Probably more exchange features.
OPEN API.......... you should see the different in between android and wp7 barcode or QR scanning.... wait for one year else will change to android....

IMO:
- Zune easy sync of all supported files: adding all the office files
- Bluetooth send/receive at least for supported files
- Email - ability to add WHATEVER I want to attachement, so also docs, videos etc. IfI want to send 3 docs I have to send 3 emails, this is ridiculous
- App for easy download/upload with SkyDrive lol, like Photobucket
- Internet tethering
- Copy and paste absolutely system wide!
- Universal device search
- Navi arrows on keyboard
- Absolutely more features in Word, which is nice to have but is ridiculously limited to a crazy level.

This has to be one of the best 'wish' lists I've seen on here, it wasn't filled with idiocy, hate, or pure ignorance and definitely reflected the direction Microsoft is trying to take, I applaud you for that... Especially with the "supported files" addition... One of the few posts that doesn't revolve around "I can't access any file, registry edit, or system entry to screw up my device so this sucks!"...
I agree with this list, I'd also add more integration features into the People Hub

Adding to this excellent wish list
- Custom Ringtones
- A smart dialer (Like Dialer one from Android)
- GPS navigation
- Threaded email messaging

1 very important function for me....
ability to import sms messages from wm6.5

Tile tap and hold option to unintall the app.
+1 for most of the items listed prior, but would like to add:
- option to increase fonts especially text messaging.
- option to get rid of the "bubble/msg boxes" in text msg app; e.g., black background with cyan and white text
- text reflow when zooming in on web-browser and email (vs. scrolling left<->right to read text)
- phone button that takes me directly to dialer ( i know, i'm probably dreaming)
- option to tap and dial or email contact from within txt msg app and email apps (similar to Android)
- integrated inbox (with threaded messaging)
- navigation app (similar to google navigation or co-pilot)
A quick way to close all running applications.
Perhaps by holding down the back arrow for an extended period of time will bring up a notification asking you to close all the apps.
Or what if, you where to hold down back arrow as before but the notification allowed you to see all running apps and close them individually or all at once?
Possible?
I have attached some images of what it could look like.
Other ideas.
Side ways view using the accelerometers on the home screen. (2 versions attached)
Zune controls on the home screen that follow you down as you scroll. This would also be there on the app menu to the right. (attached)
One that i have just realized.
I dont think you can send music files over bluetooth.
This would be a nice addition.
...but may be to do with copyright as usual. =/
Hello,
Sorry if this question sounds a bit... dumb... but I cant find a way to send an sms to multiple recipients.
I come from sgs2 where i could select as many recipients from my contacts as I wanted but in galaxy nexus stock sms app I cant find a way to do that. I have to type the first letters and then my contacts appear.
Is there a way that i missed ??
I'm afraid there isn't any way to access your "list" of contacts and just check/uncheck boxes to send messages to that particular group of people. You have to type out their name/number in the "to" field. But I know a handful of 3rd party texting apps that allow you to do this, handcent comes to mind... GoSMS maybe?
Create a new sms then type some until you can Select one of the numbers, after that at the end of the number and name of the contact you will see a ", " touch the screen there and type some after the ", " and Select the second contact and so on, or download ex dialer wich have way more features and options than stock gapps, exdialer its free and works great thats what i use

Thanks for your replies guys. I've never used 3rd party sms/dialer programs but i'll do now.
Hi Guys,
I've long used password apps on the PC that integrate with the browser/chrome to auto-fill passwords.
However I'd like to find one for my Android devices that does the same thing. All the password apps I've tried so far require you to use their own in-built mini browser if you want this functionality.
Does anyone know of a password app for Android that integrates with Chrome?
Or is it not possible for an app to have this level of integration? I would have thought it would be possible, as an input method like the keyboard apps etc...
Many thanks
Chrome by itself can remember them and synchronize with multiple devices. Just activate it in settings.

You can do this with Dolphin Browser and his Lastpass plugin.
LastPass will integrate with everything (not just Chrome), as it gives you a new keyboard that auto-fills passwords. Just install the app and when select the text-entry box for you username or password you can swipe-down on the notification bar and change your keyboard to LastPass. Hit the LastPass button on the keyboard and it will automatically fill in your username and/or password.
As I understand it, Chrome for Android doesn't have a fully functional plugin interface that will let applications build an interface like they can for Dolphin.
Hey guys is there an app like Samsung's Scrapbook that lets me highlight text (even if I can't normally copy and paste the text like on Facebook) and save it as a note? I really want to go AOSP and that is one feature that is preventing me from doing that.
