Windows Phone 7 Development Q&A 6PM PDT on Twitter - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

The windows phone 7 development team is currently in San Francisco holding some sort of event about development on Windows Phone 7. Charlie Kindel is posting a new blog post later on tonight and they're doing a question and answer on twitter @wp7dev at 6PM PDT (about 2hrs from now). Me thinks they're going to unleash some details about everything tonight (why hold a Q&A if they're just going to say 'wait til MIX'?) They were already going to have to spill the beans before MIX since they're doing presentations on Windows Phone 7 game development at GDC next week.
All these questions people have been wondering on here? This is your chance to get them answered. http://blogs.msdn.com/ckindel/default.aspx

Disappointed
That was really anti-climactic. They did not answer a single new questions.

Seriously. How can you have a Q&A without a single answer?!?!?!?!?

That's just their way of signifying which person on their team wrote the tweet. You can see who each is on the left side of the twitter page.

Okay, we'll have 95.8% of the world's surface destroyed and relocate the entire human population to the remainder - that way everyone will be in the same time zone as you. Might be a little crowded, though.

There was no chance I'd have caught this event. It was announced during night and finished before morning. GNAAAAAAAA! But like stated before it seems I really missed nothing, so IMO it's okay to see our world's surface remain few more days.

Yeah the aren't going to release much info from now until mix. I hope then we can get every quest we've had solidly answered.

POLL: Have you posted here using the TP2

I have, but I mostly use a PC. The text box used to enter the message can't be 'grabbed' so you have to leave a bit of white background showing.
I'd be very interested to see the results, please vote
I post here all the time using my TP2. In fact, that's what I'm doing right now. What's this "text grabbing" problem you speak off?
Have you ever used your TP2 in the toilet?

If you are zoomed in and all that's visible on the screen is the yellow text box where the post is typed you (at least I) can't scroll across the screen.

That doesn't bother me that much. I just use the zoom bar to zoom back out a bit so that the text box fits the width of the screen.
Yes, sometimes when I´m far for my lap top
I post from my TP2 when replying to a post because I get the messages on my phone and can access the thread directly from the link in the e-mail. Otherwise, it is more convenient to browse the forum from my computer and I usually have a computer around me at all times.
90% of my TP2 use is on the loo. lol

I have a personal policy that forbids that. I never take a phone into a restroom. I like to believe that noone I call or who would call me would take a phone into a restroom either.
Same as Godefroi. I wouldn't use any phone while using a toilet. I've always been grossed out by the people chatting away on their cell while relieving themselves at the urinals in malls and movie theatres. But with this phone I'd be paranoid of it falling into the water. If it somehow survived I doubt I'd ever feel comfortable holding it to my head if the waters were murky so to speak.
As for the actual original purpose of the thread... no. I might someday but haven't yet. In part because I forget my password for the forum around 97% of the time.
I don't really post here on my TP2. As great as the device is the Edge speeds just aren't fast enough for me to click on multiple links.
Oh gawd.... can't believe anyone took it seriously... for those that didn't get it... it was all about pointless polls.
I know... lets have a poll on having polls... awesome!

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...
A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.
Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.
Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though
Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8
And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?
not to me...
I say bring it on though
Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...
My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...

Windows Mobile 7 on Evo???

any talks of a port?
No. Its illegal
Sent from my (insert daily ROM name here) Evo 4g
I would love to see WP7 ported over to the EVO just to say "Hey is possible" but I don't think I would waste such a powerful device like the EVO on such a crappy OS. I mean don't get me wrong, there are some things that are cool about WP7 but is not enough for anyone to ditch Android and use WP7 as their primary OS. If you want to use WP7 then either buy a WP7 phone or go and buy an HD2. I have an HD2 as well as my EVO and I can tell you that the HD2 is great for the fact that it runs so many OS but with that being said, is not even close to the performance of the EVO.
Really??? Page 2 of general.

DUDE, don't give people the whole is illegal thing. If that's illegal then I'm pretty sure that if you wanted to start breaking things down as far as what is legal and what's not....alot of what's done on here would be illegal. Things like flashing phones to different carriers and stuff like that.
The HTC HD2 can be flashed to WP7 and Android.....is that illegal? If so, then you better inform XDA that they need to shut their doors because they have a bunch of illegal activity going on within their site.......I hate people like you...I really do!

I put that i have an otterbox case so if someone had a question about it they can ask me. Because I try to be helpful. In fact most of my time spent here is helping or at least trying to help other people. 90% of my posts are answering other people's questions. I spend a LOT of time on this site, and see tons of casual posters come in and clutter this forum up and it makes it harder for everybody else to find the answers they are looking for when they have to sift through bull**** thread after bull**** thread. But you're right, I could have been nicer about it but I'm tired and have a headache and don't really feel like being nice right now. And I have no manners.

#samsung-epic-touch: now under new management

Okay guys, after the ridiculous debacle today, those of us who frequent the IRC channels decided that it was time for a change.
For most of the day, that change was moving to a new channel. However, after some talking a few of us actually got cnz(RoadRAGEN) to listen to reason. He's turned over control of the room to an unbiased bot and gave a number of us operator passwords. To top it off, he's agreed to stay off the op list unless absolutely necessary (he won't be raging out anymore, he has his own private channel for that now). The rest of us can sign into the bot and get ops so we can keep peace and order if needed. Otherwise, the only people who get automatic ops are the bots and no one else.
Okay, first the one and only new rule. No more posting logs on xda. the moderators are probably sick of it by now and it accomplishes nothing besides starting fights. if you do post logs and we catch you, you'll get banned until you take it down. To make it worse, we don't stop cnz from doing it himself. It's counterproductive and stupid.
Lastly, cnz(RoadRAGEN) said he will dial it down inside the channel and around here. He had a talk with the moderators today and we had a talk with him in the channel. XDA didn't ban him and neither will we. It was talked about for a minute...but he banned me first...it was a fiasco. BUT, it's fixed now.
Now before you get all apprehensive, remember that despite cnz being a complete douchebag who often forgets what "crossed the line" means, he's still one of our most talented developers and has contributed a lot to this young community. Every rom up in here either directly uses his original updater script, uses a heavily modded version or pieces of it. Yes, sometimes he's incredibly insensitive and no one in their right minds would defend his personality or his actions (especially today), but he understands what happened here today and knows that doing it again is stupid.
It's all about the Android so you can come out from under your beds, the boogieman isn't also the doorman anymore.
If you're still angry about the incident, it's understandable. But remember, like xda, irc is a community and in no way do the actions today represent the community as a whole. It was as a community that we discussed the problem and it was a community that we dealt with it. So don't think this decision was made lightly.
If you don't agree, please keep the flaming to yourself. We don't need another out of control thread about IRC around here.

Yes, but it might take a minute, we're still kinda learning how to operate under the "bot is god" paradigm.

nevermind we already lifted all the bans and stuff. all's well. clean slate.

I seem to have missed all that, so I guess I'm the ignorant party at the moment. I really don't think the changes made or this thread should be held responsible for the unwieldy comments of others, though. I've been nothing but civil in all this
But I don't blame you, though. I can't imagine people are going quietly into that good night and I'm sure I've been getting my fair share of the flames as well for trying to mediate all this nonsense.
I wasn't pointing the blame in any particular direction.
Just making sure everyone is on the same page.

Of course not, I didn't mean to insinuate that lol.
When I went to bed last night everyone was on the same page, but I got a bunch of PMs saying I was "flamed by some noob" and the thread/posts are gone (I guess that was your doing lol, thank you). I was just saying the angry words of a few don't represent the opinions of the rest of us.
People have their opinions. That's not illegal yet, so I'm not offended. However, if my name is eventually going to be Mudd, then I'll probably end up ceasing my attempts to help out and go back to my little corner to make roms again

Hey guys just fyi, I'm not associated with the channel anymore. After nearly a dozen PMs in IRC and almost another dozen on here about how I'm a hate monger and a jerk off, I've decided that it's not worth it and I've had enough.
To all of you who PMed me with negative things, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
To those of you who appreciated the efforts, sorry I couldn't do more.
Being ostracized because I refuse to bend to Mob Rule just feels wrong to me, but that's what is happening. Apparently I was being offensive by treating everyone with equal respect without discrimination and not being an anti-cnz hate monger like everyone else.
It sucks, I liked that irc channel, but there's capable people running it still. I won't be going back. I'm tired of being nearly constantly flamed for trying to be fair and helpful.
*sigh* I feel better now. Peace guys.

With 5G you need to stand 5 feet from the cell tower to get it, they might as well add a plug on the cell tower so you can plug an extension cord in to your phone.

Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration..... but it doesn't matter. I don't need 5G on my phone for the foreseeable future, but my original point still stands, most people will wait for the new model to arrive now, and development efforts on this device will be stalled (already are, I think).

Check the fork. I think they are still trying to figure out how to fix the clock after google fucced it up. When Eric took the pie update he ask which moron put the clock on the left side. Larry has a home hub strapped to his back and asks his mechanical girl friend for the time so it never bothers him.

Seriously, that is not the feedback I am getting. T-mobile has it right running low bands for 5G but it will take time. The problem is most phones do not need that kind of speed. 50 Mb/s is fast enough for now to update apps/ROMs. Most are still buying and feel that 5G is more for home internet. I think 5G will take about 3 years to make any impact on the market place. Even then, most really don't care. It is a mistake to use 5G as a selling tool for phone because if the person does not get performace they will return the phone.
and yes low bands can become saturated.

I don't disagree. 5G is mostly useless for phones. Home internet and applications requiring extremely low latency and high bandwidth are where it will make an impact. That won't matter to most phone buyers though, as evidenced by the latest AT&T advertising campaign......
Before the mods come to clean and delete this thread, could we PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE know where we stand with lineageOS. @autoplus, you have contributed to the fork. What works and what does not ... and does lineage OS even boot on the Mix 3? If anyone has booted lineage, could you tell us does it look like lineage in N and O?
Just got the MIX 3. Currently waiting for the bootloader countdown, but don't know what ROM to flash.
Should I wait for the official Pixel Experience? Is there any ETA on that anyway?

Depends how long you want to wait
@mods Time is up. It's time to do your job and clean the threads and delete this thread. This thread has no topic and is not dev related. As funny as some of the posts are, this thread needs to be deleted.

Time is not up, they should take their time. More important things to deal with than removing a post that you can simple skip over

I will not debate you on this but keep in mind that there are forum rules and everytime someone pushes things futher and futher it just sets a presidence for the next thing. More people will use this thread to post whatever they feel. Keep in mind ""Hi"" is not a topic. There is POT hi, hi how are you, hi. How high are you (altitude), etc. Again, this thread needs to be delete. If you feel different, I understand.

Whatever, it doesn't do any harm and doesn't really matter.
There isn't much happening here anyway.
I'd understand if people spammed the forum with "hi"s, but in this situation you could just ignore the post that annoys you or you're not interested in.
OK, then lets have the mods move this and change the topic to "WHATEVER"?

All you had to do is report the thread but instead you demanded they do their job. Report the thread through the report function and move on
Thread moved to general and closed as it doesn't add anything of value.
