The web exception most likely indicates a problem communicating with a web server (not definitely - just most likely). This problem may just disappear after a while, but it may not. I'm afraid getting in touch with the devs is the only thing you can really do, since this problem is specific to the software.
Just make sure that you can browse the internet okay before trying it again, then be 100% sure that you're using the correct username and password (try logging into the twitter site first, to be sure). Other than that, there really isn't anything you can do.
Although, saying that, since you've only spent £1.69 (or there-abouts), I'd recommend getting Panoramic moTweets instead. It's much better

Found the solution
I from the Netherlands and there was a change in the Internet settings. I need to remove the portal.mmm and now it works good again!
Can i intall TT 1.6 again after a hard reset? I heard something about that Marketplace removes the .cab after install. But there was a solution for that. But prob it's too late now. Or not?

Despite the many knocks that marketplace gets, when it does something right, it really does do it right. You just go back to marketplace and you can reinstall any previously purchased apps from the front page. I have to do it quite regularly. Just 1 click and it installs all the crap I've bought from them lol.

Haha ok thank u very much!

I have the same problem
Where are the file that you have removed?

A new problem.
TouchTwit is not working anymore because of an update of Twitter wich was better for some security parts or someting.
Code:
The email from Twitter:
Over the coming weeks, we will be making two important updates that will impact how you interact with Twitter applications. We are sending this notice to all Twitter users to make sure you are aware of these changes.
What are applications?
There are over 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you first authorize the application to access your Twitter account, after which you can use it to read and post Tweets, discover new users and more. Applications come in many varieties, including desktop applications like TweetDeck, Seesmic, or EchoFon, websites such as TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications such as Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for Blackberry, or Foursquare.
Update 1: New authorization rules for applications
Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.
What's OAuth?
• OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.
• Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.
What does this mean for me?
• Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.
• If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.
• Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.
• All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.
• You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list.
But TouchTwit has not done an update. I have already e-mailed to them but i dont get any awnser. Anybody knows if there comes an update for TouchTwit? I payed for it...

same goes for me... I'm using v1.7...

Touch Twit have announced a while back to stop supporting wm 6.5 (they consider it a dead OS) and looking forward to WP 7 (bah!). While Twitter changed the way you login, TT didn.t (and probably will not) release an update to fix this. So the chances to see TT work again on wm 6.5 platform are pretty slim.(you can always bug the developers to fix it...who knows). I suggest you switch over to Panoramic moTweets (they still support the app currently 1.8.5) - payed app or PocketTwit (i.m not sure about this one if it still works) or just use HTC Peep (although it kind of slows down the whole system)
Cheers!
Edit: In my opinion, if you paid the app you should get support for it ( i mean it.s not that hard to change the login procedure on the current version)

Well, still no reply from touchtwit devs, after lots of mails.
I can accept a "we will not support blah blah" answer from them, but I absolutely won't accept no answer.
And to think that I recently bought this app... and it stopped working less than two weeks afterwards. Really feel stupid for something I paid which I could use for free. Pun intended. That's why I'm so damn furious.
I gotta rethink my "try & buy" policy really hard I suppose...

I also bought it a few months ago but still have no awnser to my emails. I don't think that there is comming an update or something.
Using the free version of MoTweets now.

So, we are going to ask the developers or not? There just 2 members in this topic who have the problem

I asked the developers to resolve this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793754

touchtwit market place cab removal
kinda new at this ,but i thought that if you have sktools there is an option were you can create a cab file from a program installed on your phone. so if someone were to purchase this tt1.8 you can recreate it using sktools. anyone can correct me if i am wrong

FlexMail 2007 (from WebIS/PocketInformant) sucks!

Here's a company, that releases a product last year full of bugs. They get a ton of feedback on their internal support forum as to the problems. Initially, they try to work with the users, and are fairly responsive and acknowledge many of the problems.
Over the next 6 months, they relase version after version in an effort to squelch some of the turmoil on their forum, which meanwhile grows louder and louder.
Then, late this month, they release what they refer to as Rev 2 which is supposed to be a stable product. Only problem is that it is not a stable product - after just one day of casual use, it deleted 2 of my 3 email accounts!
Meanwhile, to sell more product and hush their users, they shut down their support forum, and now moderate the posts. What a scam!
So I post this here in an effort to warn as many as I can about making the same mistake I had made when I sent them my hard earned money expecting a working product...
I didn't like the product from day 1!! I used the latest version and still sucks. The built in PIM is good enough for me.

I've used both their products "Pocket Informant" & "Flexmail" from latest releases to the Betas. From my personal experience and preference, I've always installed Flexmail, tried it out to see if the bugs were fixed, then uninstalled it again at the end. Pocket Informant really never gave me any problems and its definately a great program if you have to manage your tasks daily or have many appointments and schedules to keep up with. If you dont then the normal default PIM will do for basice scheduling.

That's one of my reasons for posting my experience.
I read a couple of positive reviews of FlexMail, and based on those purchased the product without doing a thorough evaluation myself, only to find the software very unstable, and a plethora of unhappy customers...
flexmail is just a piece of junk. Installed and uninstalled for more than 10 times. Nowdays I finally give it up completely.
Discarding the source code and writing from the scratch is the only way to make this program USABLE.
Anyone knows how is Profimail in comparison to Flexmail?
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail
I would like to be able to read HTML mails on my WM2003SE
So, i decided to give flexmail a 4th try and still... do not like it!
i moved 3 emails to a different folder, opened that folder and it crashed!
Also i tried to send an email with multiple pictures attached, sent it. and guess what. none of the pictures were actually attached!
I need an email app that allows you to easily attach multiple pictures. With the built in one its a pain in the ass!

I don't really know what email setups you guys have or what you are using it on but I have installed the version from http://download.pocketinformant.com/FTF/FM2007R2_1601/ and don't any problems with Flexmail at all.

I thought QMail was extinct/not supported anymore?
I agree...it's junk
The author of this post is completely right. FlexMail is junk. Yes, the UI is beautiful, features are abound, and configuration is extremely flexible. Everything about it seems great...until you use it.
It crashes regularly, or hangs for more than a minute. Worse yet, it DELETES your accounts every time you restart your device. How this product ever made it to the public with such an enormous fault is almost unfathomable. Who wants to setup their accounts every time they use the program?
It seems to work for some people, but trust me - it's not worth the risk and frustration if you're one of the many people that it doesn't work for. Keep away.
Hmm....I haven't had such problems with the smartphone version on my 3125.
I've been using it for a long time and it seems to work great! Sure it takes a bit to load up, but it's not all that bad.
I took the liberty of installing the latest Flexmail (again lol) on my HTC P4350 (wm5) several days ago. So far so good. I also have the profimail installed as well. Although the flexmail's UI is very nice, Profimail loads quick (for me). For some reason, Profimail struggles to download my gmail, whereas Flexmail downloads my gmail with no problems.
I use Flexmail on my WM5 HTC P4000 and it works very well with my IMAP mail. I get actual push emails to my phone.
I m also using Flexmail 2007 3.1 build 1834 for about 3 days now and I thought it very good.
It certainly still has some bugs like my account settings that misteriously get modified: SOCKS proxy enabled, outgoing server deleted... but so far it really much much better than pocket outlook. at least I can:
- Have push with gmail (using IMAP IDLE)
- Have HTML mails with picture without the need to click twice on "load pictures"/display pictures
- be able to get a large chuck of each email (ie like 50ko or even the whole mail if I want)
- a lot of conf settings
the only way to get push email with PO is with a hotmail account and windows live. I ve tried this solution first (with auto forward from gmail to hotmail) but:
- impossible to load more than 30000 characters (actually the amount of text i get in each email is much lower.. and really too low.. never was able to get more). so I always ends up requesting the emails (one by one) to be downloaded completely and this is really annoying I can't just sync once and then read whatever email i get
- really annoying to have to click twice on that bar to get the pictures and more over it means you need to mark the mail to be downloaded, so you don't have the pictures from first sync
the pros for PO is that it is integrated to the OS and as such HTC home will display the number of unread mails. -> you can't do this with flexmail for now.
voila voila

This is the complaint (with details of the problems I encountered) I just sent to Flexmail
Version recently tested: Flexmail 2007 Build 1864
Device: Fujitsu-Siemens N560 (original WM5)
I have tried numerous builds of Flexmail 2007 and have yet to find one that works reliably. A trend that I notice which in the two most recent build is that upon installation to device (not to SD card), Flexmail will create files under the SD-MMCCard folder (with more subfolders and files) regardless of whether I have my SD card in my device (in which case there should be no SD-MMCCard folder to begin with). This causes the issue that upon inserting my SD card, my SD card will be recognised as SD-MMCCard2 and causes problems with ALL the links referring to programs and files normally associated with the SD-MMCCard folder.
In a separate attempt to fix this problem, I tried to install Flexmail to my SD Card so that the files and folder installed to SD-MMCCard will not conflict with my SD card. This helps for a very short period, but would eventually cause the same problem and sometimes corrupting my SD card data.
I hard reset my device and tried to install Flexmail on multiple occasions with different builds, but the problem still persits.
The directry path it creates regardless of whether my SD Card is in or not is:
SD-MMCCard\Program Files\WebIS\Mail\Data
The files created are:
Settings.ini
Settings.ini.bak
WebISMail.log
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.vol
On the brief initial occasion when Flexmail worked, it is an excellent program. However, this critical problem affecting the functioning of my entire device has prevented me from purchasing your program. Hopefully WebIS will sort this out soon.

If they iron out all these bugs, then it's a respectable email program. Otherwise i'm left to check my mail via web browsers
Here is the response WebIS gave me
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Well that is unfortunately a design defect in Windows Mobile, that it renames the card when you reinsert it. There is really nothing we can do about that.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

HTC Touch HD - Best Gmail experience?

Hello all. This is my first post on this forum. I have checked the rules first, but apologise in advance if I commit any "faux pas" with this thread...
Anyhow, I have just bought myself an HTC Touch HD, and having implemented a few tweaks already, I am quite satisfied so far. I should probably add that this is my first Pocket PC, having gone from only "normal" phones, my former being a Sony Ericsson K610i.
However, one thing that I have not yet managed to sort out, is how to get the best Gmail experience on my new device. On my old phone, I used Gmail's own mobile Java app. I was thinking about installing that on my HTC Touch HD as well, but then I came across a lot of forum and blog posts that claim the app to be virtually useless on a Windows Mobile device.
Of course, there is the obvious option of setting up an IMAP account on my phone, but two things make me hesitant on this:
1: I don't really like how Gmail behaves when you enable IMAP connections, i.e. sent e-mails are stored in a separate "IMAP Sent" folder, and such things. (I know this is nitpicking, but still... )
2: I think I read somewhere online that the e-mail client in TouchFlo 3d requires a wifi data connection to work. If that is the case, then it's really useless for me, since the whole idea is to make it possible for me to check/write e-mails when I'm on a train or bus. Can anyone confirm if this limitation really exists?
Finally, does anyone know if there is any work being done by Google and/or Microsoft to create a proper Gmail application for Windows Mobile?
Have you tried the mobile browser version of Gmail?

If you mean the application that's described HERE, then yes. That's the app that I used on my old phone, that I have read will not work very well on a Windows Mobile device.
just goto gmail.com in opera. works fine for me
gmail's own app works quite well on my touch pro and also for the HD when i had one...just gotta see if you can live with the true vga version, which makes things small, or find one of the versions on here that support vga
I use mobipush.com to push my gmail account. You don't need wifi for email. Gmail (google) is supposed to be making it easier to access (but who knows)

Marketplace "copy protection" cracked

I will not do anything with this, or publish how. But you can be assured the "warez" guys from that one site will figure this out within a day or so as well...
As most of you will know I am a software developer by trade, with some commercial offerings from my company.
And then there was Marketplace. For commercial devs, something nice to have. But if you have followed the news, the piracy protection for commercial developers is not much to speak of. See this document http://download.microsoft.com/downl...tplace for Mobile Anti-Piracy White Paper.pdf.
I will refrain from quoting the obvious mistakes in this document, if you give this thing a read, you will notice them soon enough. What it all comes down to is that there is no copy protection, not even at the advanced level, at least if they implement it in the way I interpret from reading that document.
So today I started up Marketplace and it worked. Hurrah. The current level of protection is making sure the CAB files are deleted upon install - which is obviously not a way to protect anything - but even this, I thought, should easily be circumventable.
Now, because I wanted to see how fast it could be done, I went with a hunch instead of doing any investigation. And that hunch worked like charm. It took me less than five minutes to circumvent this "protection", and get the ability to save the CABs the MarketPlace app downloads to a different folder. As the CAB file is the same for every downloader, you could just give this CAB you payed for out to all your friends.
Obviously I will not disclose the method, because that would be working against other commercial developers, and ultimately myself. It's just to let you know how ridiculously easy it is, and to give fair warning to those looking to sell apps on the Marketplace.
So, the moral of the story is... WTF MICROSOFT?
I know firsthand there is no such thing as perfect copy protection, but this is just plain ridiculous.
What we really need is for apps to be able to use our own copy protection schemes... you know, like the good web-based app stores out there.
EDIT: l3v5y has also succeeded in doing something similar, and it seems the WMPowerUser admin also found another easy way to do it... Yay, and it ain't even out yet!
Not even 12 hours after launch...that's pretty quick
Oh noes.... that's not good!
Imagine Microsoft reads this and decides to offset tomorrow's Marketplace launch...
Or even worse, Microsoft launches the Marketplace but developers decide not to submit their apps because they're concerned that their apps get pirated.
Thats what happens when devices aren't locked down.
That sounds bad, but it's really no different to how things are today. Perhaps there are some apps that have more security than either nothing or a serial key, but none that I use have anything more sophisticated.
Even as a developer myself, I'd easily take this over some DRMfest.
So, if I'm reading this correctly, when you buy something from marketplace it's not tied into your username with a password like most apps? Instead, you just buy it and it installs the app, but doesn't give you a cab? Yeah, I don't think it's that hard to work around that and get a cab for yourself. Some of the cheaper apps at Handango are like that. Can you re-download an app onto a new device or if you have to hard reset, and is it free or do you need to buy download protection like form Handango?
Good, copy protection pisses me off, all it does is piss of the genuine users. We have to deal with codes and activation to be legit, while people getting it free, just click here and there, copy a code here and huzah.
Copy protection doesnt work, someone will always find a way around it. Unless its linked to a windows live profile/xbox live profile. Which I can see probably happening when they bring out Zune on mobile phones, which sounds like it might be sooner rather than later!
I did something like this earlier... MS haven't quite got security done yet, though my guess is the iPhone is no better...
I'm really surprised by the lack of any drm; what's the point of signing in w/ one's Windows Live account? The easiest thing to do is to associate valid applications w/ one's Window's Live account. That's what itunes does for music at least (I don't know about apps as I don't have an iphone/ipod touch). Of course, what would happen is that an internet connection of some form is needed when the application is first installed, which could become inconvenient.
The truth of the matter is that the percentage or ratio of people who would bother to do this is pretty small. Most WinMo usersbarely even know how to setup e-mail not to mention install a cab file.
Most of the people in this forum already know how and where to get cracked apps or warez if they wanted too. I don't see this so called "flaw" as being an issue to MS or developers.
Must admit that I find it a bit worrying that your not able to make a backup of the applications you buy by taking a copy of the cab file somewhere safe.
After having sent back 4 HTC phones (two different models) in the last 10 months, and having an SD die on me I'd really like to know that I have a backup of anything I've paid for.
Can anyone confirm if its possible to reinstall something you've paid for through the Marketplace app if it gets removed from your phone, or you get another phone? ie if you log into Marketplace with the same Lice ID does it show apps that you've bought but which aren't on the phone your connected with?
If I look at an app that I have installed through Marketplace there is no install button anymore and Marketplace tells me that it is installed... so no obvious way to get the application back...
Not enough free apps on the UK store for me to mess about with really (have installed Shazam trial but don't want to risk uninstaling it just to see what happens).

looks like it keeps track of all apps you purchased.
ow well, I guess it's a matter of time when there will be sites that point to all the cabs available on upload sites and stuff. Just like those sites exists for iphone/ipod (appulo.us for example)
I guess that's what happens when people see that there a lot of apps available on other country stores..
what do you think...

Hi dicemaster,
How did you try this? Uninstalling and reinstalling on the same phone or another phone? Or the same phone after a hard reboot / content erase?
I'm just interested to know from what state you can get back to your purchased applicationsand whether is purely your windows live id that connects you to your purchases or if there is some device specific stuff checked as well.
Cheers,

Is there anything to stop Software Authors implementing (or continuing to use) their normal Serial number protection systems?
Looking at the Market Place, there are obviously some of the Big Names we all know and love, and I don't see why they would remove protection systems they have in place already, unless it was a MarketPlace requirement.
Personally, I can't say I'm at all impressed with the MarketPlace implementation - it heralds back to the early days of PocketPC. Maybe they're going for lowest common denominator hardware support, but frankly even the relatively poor Android marketplace on Hero is massively better. And the Appstore even more so. And I think Cydia tops most of them!
Let's hope that the MarketPlace at least drives prices down.

I am assuming it's more difficult then just going to \Windows\AppMgr\Install folder while the installer is running and copy the CAB file to another location. This is how I get the CAB files from PC only installers.
I personally use SKTracker a lot. I take a snapshot before, and then during the install and see what has changed. That generally tells me right where any install files/CABs are that I need to grab.

Microsoft does not support your own serial systems. There is no information you can compare runtime vs purchases either, so you can't roll your own. Well ok, you DO actually have device ID information you could use, but that way purchasers can only run the application on the phone they actually bought it on. It is not clear how 're-download' information will be transmitted. If that also transmits a device id, then it is possible to roll your own, though it would be pretty nasty.

If you go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync on your PC, you'll probably find an archive of many things that you installed over active sync.
SK Tools is a good way to re-pack any installed programs into cabs. I would guess that it works with programs from Market Place.

Asurion Mobile AddressBook for Android

Hello XDA,
I am one of the developers of the Asurion Mobile AddressBook and I would like to get some feedback on our product from the users here. I have been using this forum for some thine now for Winmo and respect the opinions of the developers here. It would be great to see what everyone thinks of the application. It is available in the Android Marketplace, just search Asurion. Or you can go to our site at http://www.getaddressbook.com/.
A little about AddressBook, it is a socially connected address book that allows you to get information about your contacts from different social sites like Facebook and Twitter right in the address book, through mini programs called Mixins.
Soon we will have an APK for developers to develop their own Mixins for AddressBook. When its ready I will post more information if anyone would like to beta for us.
AddressBook is still in a beta form and is available for 1.6 and 2.0 and above. Please try it out and let me know what you think. AddressBook is new and we are open to positive and negative feedback.
Thanks,
Peter
Just installed
Main app + all MixIn
It's a nice app, just a bit slow on my HTC Sapphire Magic Vodafone 32B with 2.1 Eclair Rom
I don't like "MixIn solution", why not a full app with all modules inside ?
I've launched main app, then I gone to market and installed Facebook MixIn for first.
After a lot of privacy authorization with some screen not well fitted I did a little war with Matching People, cause a lot of them were not matched nice.
I need Photos compare, cause I've some cases with two or more people with the exact name... like my cousins =)
I had some Facebook MixIn Force close Crashes and some com.google.process.gapps crashes too, right now...
I installed flickr and associate it with some of my contacts and no problems at all.
at last I tried Twitter and no probs with it...
I think it's a good app, but a bit slow...
last thing:
Support for all languages (I could translate it in Italian if you need)
I don't like number in this format 000-000-0000
or 00-000-0000
I know it's a developing app and I will wait for next releases of this.
Well Done
Good Job
This is some great feedback, thanks for taking the time to try it out and post back.
Just wondering
Is this ultimately going to be a paid application?
You know like:
5.99/mo
4.79/mo
1.99/mo
What's our deductible? :0
Haven't tried the app, but if you could spread the QR codes apart it will ease their reading.
Thanks for your app!
played with it 30mins.
1. got the main app
2. started a new a/c in www.getaddressbook.com
3. got the MixIn: Facebook
4. start the MixIn app, input Facebook a/c
5. click Allow buttons 3 times
6. MixIn starts to get contacts from FB
7. Auto Match
8. Manual adjust Auto Match results
9. Launch main app
The above steps took about 25mins (330 FB contacts; 300 gmail contacts; Auto Matched 180; manual picked out... haven't counted >_< i believe picked out 30 - 50).
Cool:
-Auto Match tried to best match FB | Local contacts even they are not perfect match.
e.g. Shirley Lam | Salei Lam (it matches)
-Facebook photos can replace local as well as sync. to Gmail Contacts
-Consolidated activities log (SMS, voice call, etc) for individual contact
Not:
-[MixIn: FB] Say you have some contacts named Peter Chan, you will get confused without some other hints like Organization.
I picked those contacts out in Auto Match to prevent mis-matching as Org is not displayed in Auto Match results
-[main app] Contact list won't remember the last viewed location.
I scrolled from top to Carol, click twice to view details, click Return and the contact list scrolls back to top.
-[main app] Slow. Maybe it's my outdated HTC Magic... (it's CyanogenMod 4.2.13 w/ EBI1 mod]
For me:
Keep and waiting for updates!
looks cool..will try this later when i get home for work..
speed is defiantely something that can be worked on.

Is this ultimately going to be a paid application?
You know like:
5.99/mo
4.79/mo
1.99/mo
What's our deductible? :0

No, the application will be free. And no deductible that I know of
It looks interesting but what you should definitely not miss is the T9 dialer. The way you can find contact by typing their name directly from the dialer is the only feature that makes me stay on 1.5. I tried other apps from the Market but nothing could match HTC's Sense UI dialer. If you can bring something clean similar to this I'm sold!
Another question for the community. Are there any features you are not seeing in the AddressBook that you would like to see, things that would make this app a must have?
Great work on the app. After using the app for a few days the main reason I stopped us using it was the user interface. Its not horrible but compared to everything else on the phone, it looks a bit outdated (quality wise). Other then the ui, it can be sluggish at times but nice work.

Darvo is absolutely correct. The T9 dialer is something that is sorely missing from most builds. I think it would especially appeal to stock users as well as those running cooked roms. I have been searching for a reliable answer to this outside of a Sense UI but haven't found anything that I'll stand by 100%.
Thank you .........
I appreciate your effort with AddressBook; however:
I find it extremely inappropriate and invasive that the app immediately syncs my contacts upon install to -- where? your servers?
There should be a clear warning that this is about to happen!
Please delete my data from your servers!
Also, the 'delete all' function on your site does not work, at least not with Safari. I 'moved' all to the 'delete' column on right, but clicking on 'delete selected' does nothing.
And with Chrome I couldn't even log in. Got some error about 'src' and try the support page.
I am sorry that app is frustrating you. There is a screen during setup that lets you know about the backup. This function can be turned off in the app. If you give me your user name I will delete your account from the database. The back up is meant to protect your contacts in the case that you loose your phone or get a new one. As for browser support, right now we are only supporting IE and Firefox. Again sorry the app is frustrating for you.
Great app!
I really like and appreciate this app. The 2 biggest features that drew me to waste countless hours playing w/ hero roms on my mytouch were hero's T9 dialer, and the social integration. I'll 3rd the motion for a T9 dialer in your app. No complaints otherwise. Bravo - and thanks for the great app.
P.S. Backup to server is a bit redundant in my opinion, because your contacts already sync w/ your Google acct - but, to each is own. I might be missing an advantage to it anyway. I just opted not to use it.
And props for soliciting feedback here in the forum - where the REAL users are.

Really? Because I can see in the options where to change the time and frequency of the sync, but I don't see how to disable syncing altogether. Maybe I'm just missing something?
Good catch, looks like there is a bug, you should be able to set it to not backup. We will work to get that fix in.
I have been playing around with the Hero, but I am not sure I have found the T9 dialer, what does it do?
Feedback
I've been following this app since it first arrived, and I must say bravo for doing what only HTC dared to attempt. It works well, too, except for a few things.
1. It may SEEM that scrolling smoothness isn't that important. Ask Apple, they'll tell you the truth: Its the only thing the masses give a Sh&% about, how something looks. So imitate the apple or hero contact style, because the one here is rough but needs only an easy fix! Smooth scrolling and better "sleek" colors. Same for the dialer.
2. It seems to run too often in the background, which slows my phone seemingly, no matter how often i taskiller it.
Eagerly awaiting the next release...

the missing xap/application

this has happened before on my hd7 and i would hard reset it, and now its happened to my titan, my at&t wireless account app has disappeared after i updated it from the marketplace, it does not show up in my hub list, yet when I go to the market to reinstall it all it does is say "share" meaning that i already have it installed but it isnt visible for me to access.
does anyone know how to bring back this ghost application to my hub list?
I have a similar problem on my Mozart too, I installed a .XAP game (please don't stake me), but it didn't appear anywhere on my phone. Now it's taking up space and the marketplace says I already have it installed on my device. I also tried redeploying the .xap. It installs and everything's fine, but I still can't find it anywhere.
Oh em gee I found my app, it was renamed myAT&T , no longer under the As but under the Ms durrrr!
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm still having the problem, can't find them anywhere.
You know, I'd be way more inclined to help you if you'd just bothered to actually pay for the game. Piracy is pretty much a forbidden subject here on XDA, and you're not going to get much respect if you come here asking for help with it.
I'd bother paying for the games if I actually could you know, but since there's no Zune Marketplace in my country I can't. Piracy isn't the reason I'm coming here for help. It's just a .xap problem that could be from an application from any source.
I thought you said you were able to check the marketplace, and it said it was already installed? I know there used to be countries where WP7 was available but Marketplace wasn't, but I thought that got fixed with Mango.
Argh.. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and hope you're more legit than you sound ("don't stake me"? Really?). Check the Xbox Live app, otherwise known as the Games hub. I keep mine pinned to my Start screen for easy access.
I can use the marketplace, just when it comes to billing for my UK account it requires a UK credit card and I don't have a thing like that. Virtual credit cards and etc. don't work. Anyways. It's nowhere to be found in the games hub or the applications. If I try to download the trial it gets halfway and says 'Attention required' with error code 8103010d, which, according to Microsoft's forums hasn't been resolved yet. I don't want to have it as much as I want to delete it right now.
