Smh... HD7 Users... - Windows Phone 7 General

I had to post this, I had to - I just couldn't believe I was reading these Twitter posts from an HD7 user... He also complained about only getting the first update apparently...

LOL. Ignorance...

don't give this dude an Android device it will be bricked in four seconds.

Not really. T-Mobile and Microsoft didn't mention anything about having to wait for NoDo after that first one.
They've always stated the updates are cumulative, which led users to believe that the two would be rolled into the same update.
Welcome to the real world, where people don't sit on XDA-Developers all day.

I get why the guy is confused. He bought an HD7. Since he probably doesn't come to the xda forums, he would not have any reason to know that the code name of the HD7 is Schubert. Same as the Rhodium or Leo... not the commercial name for those devices. It's dumb that they show the code name when updating the device instead of just HD7 anyway.

Its dumb to think that because a driver on your machine says something it means they installed that device to your phone and changed it

It's dumb to think normal people are dumb because they don't understand the ins and outs of how device names, code names, marketing names work and didn't.
You XDA gals are quite elitist...

You're one to talk... All somebody has to do is search your posts and see the most arrogant and biased user on this forum, right?
And this has nothing to do with the device name, this has to do with assuming your device magically changed to another... Not to mention, before you spew your venom, you should do your research and see that he isn't a "normal" user... Sorry

I bought an Iphone... Never a section 4 it?

I changed my HTC device with an Apple Iphone..the major thing I miss is the XDA developers forum ... In the future can we (about 5000k people..) at least hope to have one ? cheers....
probably not, this forum is for ms pda's (mainly htc), notice not much talk of palm devices either you'll probably have to find other forums that discuss the iphone cuz ive noticed not many people on this forum even like the word iphone unless its getting bashed. so good luck but i wouldnt look forward to it
I heard Apple is releasing the dev kit for the iPhone...so people can start writing their own apps for the phone. Also heard something about being able to run webapps offline.
I'm sure the iPhone forums will take off as soon as people start developing for the iPhone.
yeah it's true. tomorrow for the devkit !
If it's not made by HTC you won't get it through the door. There'll be sites-a-pleanty once a devkit is out but probably none as good as this. I wonder if Apple will set about having them shut down? You can't have people using their own property for anything they want you know.....
another issue is that apple use objectC rather then c++ or c# or even old c or poorly VB
and objectC is a world apart from the other languages

This is really an HTC only forum.
Sorry to plug, but forums.macrumors.com has a pretty good iPhone/iPhone Hacking Community.
Hey!
A little Definion about "XDA":
"The [O2] Xda brand is a range of O2-branded Windows Mobile PDA phones, produced by multiple manufacturers (mainly HTC, Quanta and Erima). The first model was released in June 2002. The "X" represents convergence of voice and information/data within one product; the "da" stands for "digital assistant", as in PDA."
I think this forum should be specified in Windows Mobile. The iPhone isn't a productively device on the market! And the people who buy this expensive "Fun-Gadget" doesn't use it to develop something on it.
"The iPhone is a dust-bin: It can look beautiful, but the contents are rubbish."
Sorry for my bad English! Greetz

What part of the contents are rubbish? Just wondering becuase I just got a good deal on a 16gb and I cant find flaws. BTW, I purchased it to resell it becuase it was way too cheap. Not to mention, it would give me a chance to see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you...I know why so many devs on xda are trying to emulate some of the features and charecteristics of the iphone. Bcuase it is the best phone/handheld device that I have ever played with.
In my idea, not to go into all of the greatness of the iphone in my opinion, but if I can buy a 16gb for $400 (unlocked to use with any gsm carrier), $5.99 T-ZOne hack and many other cool things like SNES, NES with each having about 100 or so games etc. and the abilty to add 12 movies and over 700 songs and still have over 7gb to play with and still running like lightning.......my mind is made up.
DOnt let me forget about the accelorometer and the games that are available that utilize the accelorometer.
Please tell me where the rubbish is.
Oh and BTW, I am locked in my Verizon contract for another couple of months on my 6700 so I cant %100 test the calling capabilities yet as I have not hooked this one up.

Forum request: LG KS20

Hi Admins,
Could you please add a forum section with LG KS20?
Many Thanks!
Who's the Manufacturer of the LG device. Is it HTC? No? Then I don't see that happening.

The Siemens was made by HTC (same as some HP devices, and the X1) so it has very similar IPL/SPL code.
The Atom was because there was some confusion over who was making it, but, that is the exception, not the rule.
With all the respect I have for "xda" developers community, what's the purpose of refusing a new forum section based on the brand when you're a forum that grew up enough to become a reference in ppc developement ? Sentences like "Is it HTC? No? Then I don't see that happening." are either trolling (if that's the case, well done ), or belong to another time in another place. To me it sounds a little like "hey you lg niggas, we accept you in our htc bus, but just stand in the back".
I thought we were here to share knowledge to serve the whole ppc community. If I was an admin, I would consider making sections when enough requests (but, I'm not admin and moreover, may be there are not enough now, I can't say) (well, to be honest, I pretty agree that there's not so much ks20 threads).
What I know is that ks20 hardware is pretty similar to kaiser's one (up to the point that older versions of kaiser's android booted on ks20), that with a lot of work we finally managed to build tools to extract rom files (I don't speak about batch files, but something similar to nbinfo/nbsplit/nbmerge), that enabled us to build a kitchen, for a part thanks to xda community, and that it would serve ks20 community for more simplicity to regroup them.
If you think that there's not enough demand to do it, I've got absolutely no problem with that and I totally understand it, but please don't use htc arguments or else you'll see that one day, the brand-segregated minority will revolt, compose a call pointing their phone towards htc users and turn them all out into pop-corn

No I'm not a Troll, I moved out from under my bridge long ago.
I'm reiterating what I've seen spoken by the mod numerous times.
The simple fact is not that we hate or a "phonecist" towards LG. Its a matter of Drawing a line in the sand to help with Administration, Server Load and Bandwidth Usage Issues.
If we start adding none HTC phones, we will have a harder time keeping the noobs calm and the spammers away. It will require and even bigger server with even more bandwidth and that cost more money.
We all know the founders really aren't making money of this venture so since its their bank accounts that have to cover the costs if Donation, Store and Ad revenue don't. So they can say only HTC device if they please.
So don't play the "race card." You look silly. If The founders don't want to add non HTC devices they don't have to, and any amount of wishing and asking and complaining will not change that.
But I bet you could find/make a place like XDA for LG or Samsung.
I totally understand your point and don't blame the admins, they do what they want with their forums. It's just that when you start adding exceptions, you open a breach and then it's difficult to explain why you do this and not that.
I hope my post was not taken seriously (I think I've put enough smileys to show it was not written that way).
As to make/join another forum, problem here with ks20 is that it's the only Windows Mobile device from lg, so in a way, we're far closer to xda community than classic lg mobile community. After all, we're just lost orphans begging for a place in this world

Right Which is why they don't allow any exceptions.
I wasn't singling you out, just posting same reasons why you won't see LG devices here soon, or Samsung for that matter.
Well what you could do is, call HTC and LG and have one "acquire" the other, then all would be happy because the admins could make a LG KS20 forum.
I don't think it's just that it's LG.
The T-Mobile Shadow is HTC though they still won't make us a forum.

Actually...Never mind it's there, but not under smartphones, it's under the PPC with 3 sections. that's why i never saw it.
I've got a KS20 as well.
LG has released their 2nd Windows Mobile based device, the Prada II.
Hopefully if they keep going we'll get an LG forum up and running soon!
yeah there will never be a lg forum, this site is htc only. so there will nenver be any non htc devices here
when i got my omnia i asked and they said no, and eventually accepted that. i then wen on to create my own forum similar to this one but it will include all windows moblie devices
its in my signature below. there is already a lg ks20 forum with unlocking details and a few roms for it in the roms section
ill look forward to seeing you there

A forum starts with one person who is enthusiastic about their phone. How do you think this forum got started? Twenty thousand people all got together and decided to make a forum that grew into 2 million ? No it started with I'm sure, one enterprising knowledgeable person and a garage server.
Short version ? Servers are cheap, bandwidth comes from donations, if you think that there are so many interested people, then have at it. I don't think that trying to ( bully ? ) your way into an avowed HTC forum is the way. Others have done it themselves.
http://www.lg-vu.com/
http://www.mygreatphone.com/forum/lg-forum/
And many more for LG phones.Just look for them. It is the enthusiasm of the people that make a great forum, not hijacking an already great forum for your own personal use
Those forms are not as well populated as the Chinese LG forum (www.52lg.com). Main disadvantage of it is that the released roms are all in Chinese.
Ok...With all that said...who wants to put together an LG PPC forum?

5-reinstall limit on paid apps

I hope this story doesn't turn out to be true but, until it is debunked, I won't be wasting my money on anymore WP7 apps. And if it turns out to be true, I will abandon WP7 altogether...set it up as strictly a Zune audio player and be done.
There's only so much a customer can be expected to take with any product. If this story is true, MS will go way beyond that limit.
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/microsoft-you-can-install-a-wp7-app-five-times-on-a-purchase
This is a lie and has been proven as such.
The truth is:
1/. You can only install the app on 5 different phones with the same windows live ID
2/. On any of these phones, you can install the same app as many times as you want.
3/. You have a WP7, you could've tested this with one of those $0.99 apps that you don't even like anyway instead of scaring the crap out of people.
That's not true. I think the truth is that if you use the same Live ID on more than 5 phones, you need to pay again. And you can swap out 1 phone by another one every 30 days.

How you think I felt when I read the headline? I started counting off the dollars I have invested in WP7 paid apps. Then I started thinking and rationalizing the need for system hard resets. I feel like my HD7 needs an HR right now. That would put me down to 4 more HRs before my games are no longer playable.

Even so, you could have purchased a cheap ass $.99 app, installed, uninstalled and reinstalled it 5 times to see what it told you. Doing so would have taken less effort than posting your OP and it would have given you the answer you sought - that you can indeed install the app as many times as you want on upto 5 devices at a time, with the possibility of changing one of those devices out every month.
The whole "story" came about due to a erroneous French translation.

I have read it. As for spending money you don't have - if you can't even afford a $.99 app I very much doubt you can afford your WP7 device in the first place.

I already provided the information you needed to get it confirmed directly from MS - check their knowledgebase.
If that's not enough, perhaps you should check the original thread over at MS Answers where Camille B. has cleared up the confusion saying there was a misunderstanding and that you can install it on five phones as many times as you like - as long as the app/game is still available on the marketplace.

Do yourself a favor and don't bother arguing with these ...erm...seemingly disrespectful adolescent ones. Trust me, they thrive on chaos. Just ignore them and find your own answers.

I found it by google searching "kin 2 running android" but I can't post links until I've hit 8 posts, so just literaly look up "kin 2 running android" in Google and it should be the first result.
Anyway, I think the seller is confused about what OS the Kin 2 is running, as I've seen people who've reviewed the kin and thought it had Android, which is blatently incorrect.

Return policy
The seller will not accept returns for this item.
He's just trying to get money. I'm sure it wasn't unlocked at all.
what if we could post a kind of online petition asking Microsoft, Nvidia, or Sharp for something, anything whatsoever. Possibly if Microsoft would continue through with their idea of running WP7 on the Kin from the very beginning of the release before dumping it realizing that they were far too behind. Say we get like 5,000 digital signatures for it, maybe Microsoft will get to work on it? I mean they still have to have SOMEONE working on the device otherwise these newer Kin TwoM's that will not revert to the original Kin Two OS would not be out there

I asked him for a picture of it running as well as some directions as to how he did it... He told me he'd get me a picture and never did, then told me (jokingly) that if he told me how he did it he'd have to kill me. I don't think he was telling the truth or didn't know what he was saying.

I don't think we can count on anything from MS. Considering the fact that they have re-released the phones they will not have any interest in offering an "unlock" procedure, or at least not so long as Verizon has any input in it (which they have a LOT).

Go phone i5 vs iPhone 5

So Idk why everyone's being racist and saying the Chinese "cloned" and stole it from apple. Apple is highly known for stealing ideas from lower less known companys and then this Chinese company had this phone out way before iPhone 5.. Any discussion anyone?
Really had to make another thread on this.......

This one is made for a different purpose. I'm wondering why everyone's being so racist.

I hope you're being funny man how does that make everyone racist lmao
The fact that everyone instantly assumes the Chinese company was the one who stole even thogb they had it before apple. Automatically assuming it's them without looking at any info.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it would be this exact same way no matter what country a company comes from.

Not really sure how it is racist...
And did they really come up with it on their own? It is still the same design as the iPhone 4, just bigger. It's a bit ridiculous.

I still hope this is a joke. First off, the chinese version was based off leaks of the actual iPhone 5. Secondly, making fun of a country isn't really racism unless your making their race specifically. Being from the US, if i made fun of canada, would you also call that racism? If i was of chinese origin with US citizenship and made fun of china would that be called racism?
I don't think this guy knows the definition of " Racist ".
Its the fact you guys think they stole it because either their Chinese or not apple.. and half of those leaked pictures are of the go phone.

we think they stole it cause, well, they stole it. It is an iPhone leak clean. That's what a lot of companies over their do because of their relaxed patent laws.

If they stole it then how did they take their full year of making it before iphone 5 images where even leaked? then selling before apple.. no company can pump out a device from ground up in 2 months -_-
and for the record, im trolling over nothing >_> just discussion over this XD I cant see how the company stole it. Let the court settle it by comparing patent dates
Look up "trademark squatting" and you'll see it's a big thing in China. It has nothing to do with racism.
Also, yes, they can build a phone that quickly because they have the infrastructure to produce a product in a short amount of time.

At this point who cares. I hope the Chinese company has a earlier patent than apple so apple loses money XD iPhone 5 could still be banned for the HTC law suit.. Idk the result of that though

Obviously.....you do OP. I wish threads like these would go away. Every time I visit this forum, there's another new apple thread. This crap is starting to make me not want to visit XDA lately.
This is not the iPhone forum.
Please discuss other phones in the sticky
Thank you for your cooperation
