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
duplicate post
how do i delete this?
universal clipboard
file explorer, with cut, copy, paste of files (is this enabled on the touchexplorer?)
smart dial
ability to DISABLE threaded sms
usb storage mode
full outlook support
1 very important function for me....
ability to import sms messages from wm6.5
- multiplayer games (local and online)
- cross platform games
- custom alert tones
- hidden SSID access
Copy and paste text.
Preview of back button stack.
Socekts.
Battery api.
Camera – movie api.
Silverlight integration with XNA.
Exposed MAC address of WIFI.
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. =/
is their a widget that displays firefox bookmarks for the homescreen or a way to allow firefox bookmarks from the bookmark widget in launcherpro plus?
You can download visual bookmarks from the market, which should display them for ya right nicely.
Nice! Ill check it out now. Thank you!

No problem man.
I'm not sure what the feelings are on reviving such an old topic but I have been wondering exactly this and, after following the advice google so kindly showed me, I was loathe to discover the current visual bookmarks explicitly states that it displays the bookmarks from the stock browser (this was confirmed when I installed to try it). So, are there any widgets to display firefox bookmarks?
To add a bookmark icon on desktop
This is the kind of widget I was looking for and Firefox does it out of the box!
Just hold click in the link bar and and Firefox proposes you to add a link on your home screen. Actually this is all I want, and works perfectly adding even a nice icon!
Hi! I have an Evernote account, synced it with the HTC Notes app, and added a widget.
All the notes that came from Evernote (PC app) will look very bad on the widget. If I create a note on the phone, it will look fine on the widget. I tried using a different font and size in the PC app, then sync again, but it will still look the same. I attached a screenshot, to be clear.
Can somebody using Evernote please test if the same happnes with that widget when viewing notes created on the PC? I want to know if this is a common bug or if I am doing something wrong here.
Thanks!
It's the same if I create/edit a note on the Evernote web page or in the Android app, even if I edit a note initially created in the HTC Notes app (that looked good in the widget). The note preview in the widget will look very low res, sometimes very hard to understand anything.
Surely there's someone else here using Evernote / HTC Note app, can you please check if the same happens?

I am able to place a gmail widget on my home screen, but there does not seem to be a standalone widget for exchange email accounts. Am I looking in the wrong place, or has that option been removed? If it has been removed, does anyone have suggestions for a good widget to download for the purpose of being able to readily see microsoft exchange emails on my homescreen (without having to open an app)?
Thanks.

The exchange widget seems to only be on the magazine ux side (swipe to the right).

Thanks. I wasn't for sure what that page was called, but did see that it included the exchange widget as an option. I'm just used to having all of my email and Google Voice accounts shown in one place. It will be inconvenient to have to switch between pages or to open the email app each time.
The apps come preinstalled on the device. For instance my question is can I solely use write on pdf when selecting it as a default application to open pdf files? There are no app drawer icons for either of these programs.
Better yet, is there a way to make these programs visible? Or do they just essentially run when a file type calls for them
if there hidden... how do you know if they are there? how do we come to that conclusion?
Well you can see them ONLY when you try to open one of their specific file types. Try opening a pdf and you will see write on pdf as an option. But look on uour app drawer and its nowhere to be found. Im juat curious if there is a way to actually have the icon in your app drawer
