As more of us get our Surface I have the following issues I am hoping someone can answer.
Need a good Exchange client===I read touchdown next week is releasing
Video Player that does MKV==
Once I have these 2 issues filled I will be able to hand off my Transformer prime to my son.
I will also have to wait a month to link my xbox live account
I haven't tried to setup my work email yet, but isn't exchange support included? or you're just looking for something better?
Now, my question. Anyone know where can I see the battery percentage?

Just go to desktop, where your windows laptop displays battery percentage.

Yea I figures that way out too but it's sorta a pain just to go to the desktop to see battery life. You would think it was somewhere else lol

I do not want my personal and work emails in the same client. Android allowed me to use gmail and then email.
I use touchdown until Windows Pro comes out with full outlook.
theres a battery icon on the lock screen and if you swipe from the right edge to the left .... but no percentage

Curious to know, after looking at the demo video for Windows Phone 7 (or windows mobile 7 whatever), is there some sort of widget we could put on our screens, or has anyone heard of one, that can show off our recent calls? I think that would be handy indeed. I'll do some more searching but I didn't see anything yet, if I find something, I'll be sure to edit and update this post.
Thanks

lol thats the first thing that I thought but hey.
to the OP all you have to do is hit "phone" on the rosie bar and it will bring up all recent calls.
I'd like a widget like this too.
yeah yeah yeah, it may seem stupid but let's put this into perspective....."dildroid"? Need I say more?
Anyway, yeah dude, seriously....would it have killed ya fingers to type out the extra letters?

Looks like the guy wants to copy something that was demo'd in a winmo7 phone.
I think it's a good idea, recent calls widget would be nice, along with any of the other "tiles" or widgets they have going on in the new winmo. One of the greatest parts of being an open OS is that if you like the idea that someone else has came up with, you can take that idea and run with it.

just looking down at a widget on the homescreen would be even easier than this method if it was available

im not sure but all i was getting at is that if you like the widget im sure a dev on here would have the know how to pull the .apk from GDE and make it a stand alone widget for any android system?
Edit: thats only IF you payed for GDE...
Hi guys
Are there any apps that can display how much current (mAh) is being drawn while charging? I recently purchased a usb car charger that claims to output at 1 amp (1000 mAh) per usb port (it has two) and i want to test it.
Any suggestions? I'd like to be able to do this without any additional hardware
Sent from my HTC Glacier
Elixir can do this (you'll have to add a widget on your homescreen and select Battery Current in the list of applications that are proposed).
For example I can see the difference between my wall charger (850 mA/h) and my laptop (400 mA/h).
EDIT: you can also find the information directly in the Elixir application by clicking on the battery category

Thanks a bunch, man :] It seems to work but for some reason the widget isn't there.
Apparently my Mytouch 4g (Htc Glacier) maxes out at around 480 mA/h. Is this a hardware limitation?

I don't know whether this limit can be changed. I would think that it can't but it's just my thought. Maybe other members can give more information?

Have you installed Elixir? If yes, just open it and click on the first line where you can see a battery icon. In the pop up window there's "Current".

Strange ... What do you see when you open Elixir? You don't see the battery picture?
On ZTE Blade battery is present, and clicking it gives no mention of charge draw, neither does the homescreen widget for battery, that just pulls up the built in "settings" power panel.
I assume it depends on the device. I've attached 2 screenshots of my device for you to see.
Has anybody seen a heart over their battery symbol? I just replaced the battery on DVP, and its now showing a heart symbol over the battery. The heart is still showing there no matter what % the battery is at! Any ideas what that is?

It's Battery Saver Mode, you can disable it in the settings

You can still text and make calls, but it won't retrieve data for emails etc or run background apps.
I keep mine on.
I'm guessing this is a Mango feature? I can't find it on my Focus.

I would, but I just had my phone replaced due to bricking, and my new one is having a lot of issues. I don't want this one to brick and them not replace it because Mango is installed on it.

Back up your phone! The only bricking I've heard about on WP7 is from flashing completely custom ROMs
Aww, yep im running Mango, and I have the battery saver mode on. Thank you! And I would highly recommend upgrading to Mango too! You can always restore you phone through the Zune software, and you don't have to be Dev Unlocked. I had Mango on my other DVP (before I dropped it off a rollercoaster) and was able to restore it and exchange it no prob!
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
No, my phone bricked itself. I had backups from previous updates and they wouldn't work. It happened randomly, my phone reset itself and then gave me a "Storage card is not working" message. After that, it wouldn't boot past the Samsung screen.
(I know this isn't technically "bricking," but ok my phone was a brick with a nice Samsung logo displayed on it.)

I noticed this the other day and I was like WTF ?
So, getting used to blink feed. One thing I would love to know is how I can limit what it pulls from a service?
For example, I have it pulling from G+, but it displays everything from my G+. Would be nice to have it only pull from a community or something.

I will be getting a note edge and currently my wife has a LG g3 and I love the knock knock feature to turn it on. Does anybody know if the note edge has a similar feature to knock or swipe the side edge screen to turn it on? If not I plan on developing an app to accomplish that, if the sdk allows.

I tried but nothing worked. Then again there may be a particular way the swipe gesture works?? I can tell you that the edge screen wakes up if you just rub it right to left.
Thx. I am going to see about building some functionality for that.
Great!
Wish I could develop apps for the edge screen...

Wouldn't the screen have to be kept on ?! I don't mean physically on but wouldn't a layer of the screen have to be on because so it can register input whilst the screen is off ?!

yea it does but probably not enough to matter.
Its a standby mode. Any phone that uses knock to wake, swipe to wake, voice etc... will have the sensors in stand by.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised that this kind of app isn't already out. OEMs have released this feature with some of their flagships but why isnt it more mainstream.

I would say this regarding battery drain... I have not rooted my wife's G3 and she uses the knock knock feature roughly 100 times per day lets say on average. Her battery has never been less than 45% with super heavy usage. Usually around 73% by the time she gets home at 5:15.
She plays games, Keeps the brightness on 90% (no auto), checks emails/texts/IM a bunch, pinterest, facebook, keeps the gps on, bluetooth off. So I would say it doesn't drain the battery enough to complain about if barely at all. Now, maybe LG built this feature into the firmware or something i don't know about, where it doesn't need the screen and maybe it uses one of the ICs that detect vibration or something.
