Ok...so what's the deal with the calendars

I've been hearing that using Gmail/hotmail will allow you to see all your calendars. On the contrary, I've also heard that you can only sync your primary calendar.
So what is it?

I know! So I'd like some clarification.

You can sync multiple calendars to your device, these are aggregated on the phone and displayed using different colors in the calendar view. It will also allow you to reschedule if two (or more) entries from different calendars clash.

from each mail service that you might have only the primary calendar will be displayed.
i.e hotmail you have calender 1 and calender 2
gmail you have calender 1 and calender 2
wp7 will display both gmail and hotmail calenders but will only show calender 1 from both services..

Thanks for the clarification.
Even if it's bad news

unbelieveable in my eyes.
i use several calendars.
work
private
wife
kids
soccer
so, i guess. my next device will be an android, again. i hoped for wp7. but for me, that is a killer argument against it.

The devices aren't even out yet and we don't have full information. Relax for a couple weeks and get the complete picture before you jump the gun.

We already now that. From microsoft:
Note
You can sync only one calendar per account. If you have multiple calendars associated with an account, your phone will recognize which calendar is the primary calendar and sync that one.​ Source: I cannot put links, but in the windows phone webpage, look for calendar faq
And also some people have noticed this some time ago as you can see here:
Windowsphonesecrets look for "Calendar as the Windows Phone simplicity poster child"
I was going to buy Htc Mozart the 21st of October but now I'm thinking about it. I hope they fix it but the same happens with other windows mobile phones, 6 6.1 6.5 ....

yes, but even microsoft puts on their support-page that only the first calendar is supported. I can choose a new phone bei november and i guess, that they won't patch it until then. (if they ever will)

Same story as the iPhone when it came out and it didn't stop them from adding all the advanced stuff later on as the platform grew.
If you need all those advanced options, wait. Microsoft have made a "business oriented" smartphone OS for years, they know people want these things and they will add them when they think it's time to.
I'm sure they're working the asses off for the very first update which will hopefully bring some of the features people have been ranting about.

That's hopefully what the Jan update will do. We know that Microsoft want to take back as much is the mobile market as possible and so they know that they need to add certain features for people to want the phones.

Calendar Sync
Hi I have got an outlook 2010 and installed therein my po3 mail account. How can I sync that calendar with my wm7 device? Before with wm6 system I used the active Sync..
Thanks

to the users who already have a wp7:
1) is it possible to use more than 1 google account? so, at least, i could use the calender from my wife.
2) is there/will there be 3rd-party calendar-applications who allow more than just the main calendar from 1 source?

[GUIDE] An ADDITIONAL 20+gb of dropbox space for free

Hi all. I wrote this guide on another thread but it's been buried, and i realised that people will still benefit now, so here it is, for posterity.
If you like the guide, click thanks
Reckless187 said:
Bloody Hell! did you get all that from referrals?!?!?!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK, I e-mailed a friend with my method so may as well help you all out too.
Please note some aspects may not work any more (e.g. I think you can only get 3gb extra space for picture upload nowadays)
The TL;DR is, do all the DB quests, borrow an .ac.uk or .sch.uk or .edu address from a friend (or use your own), whore Google Adwords ....? profit
UPDATE: Dropbox now gives 500mb per referral, so you no longer need a .ac.uk or .sch e-mail address to get the full amount.
It's also worth mentioning that you get 250mb extra free if you sign up through a referral link. Why not google it and click someone elses Adword? Spread the good karma around!
This guide assumes you have a standard free account with a PUNY 2gb storage.
1: +250mb - https://www.dropbox.com/gs - , although I highly doubt you haven't done this.
2: +1gb - https://www.dropbox.com/dropquest2011 Not sure if this will work but go to page and complete that. It may or may not give you 1gb (it said it was limited time only) - Follow http://smugsmog.com/dropbox-scavenger-hunt-walkthrough/ this guide to make it easier.
3: +768mb - https://www.dropbox.com/free - Self-explanatory. I just did all the bull**** steps then unlinked it from facebook/twitter and deleted the tweet. Still gives you the free data.
4: +16gb!!! - This is the motherlode. I think it works with .sch.uk, anyway. Go here https://www.dropbox.com/edu and put in your .sch.uk address. You need to verify it by clicking the link. If it doesn't work you can still make 8gb for free, or try to find someone with a .ac.uk address (I used <my friends> and it worked fine). Once it's told you you get 500mb per invite, then you need to register an Adwords account at http://adwords.google.co.uk
UPDATE: Step 4 no longer needed, as dropbox provide 500mb free for each referral now anyway
Then you need to load it up with some free credit. I went here: http://www.newsvend.com/google-adwords-voucher.html and used my domain. It says you won't be successful unless you use a @yourdomain e-mail address so be careful.
You may also have free vouchers from web hosting (I did, had £30 with mine).
Anyway, load up your account with the freebie, and don't give it your payment details, that way the adds will run until your voucher runs out, so you won't rack up huge debt.
Once you've got an Adwords account with some free credit go here: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals and get the db.tt referral link that will credit your account (it's at the bottom)
Then set up an ad campaign in Adwords. My ad looked like the attachment, and I had it set to appear anywhere.
Keywords are important. attached is the keywords I used.
Obviously you have to replace my dropbox referral link with yours!
Anyway, once the ad is running, it took about 2 days before all the referrals had been used. That means 16gb free extra storage for life (or 8gb if your .sch.uk address doesn't work).
5: +5gb - This one won't last long so hurry if you want to do it.
http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.exe Windows
http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox 1.3.12.dmg Mac
Download one of these betas, then fill a USB stick with 4.5GB of photo/video. Once the beta is installed plug the USB stick and (if on windows) select the autoplay option "add to dropbox". Apparently this doesn't work unless there's a DCIM folder on your SD card. Anyway, basically upload the 4.5gb of files, and Dropbox rewards you with another 5gb.
UPDATE: You now receive 3gb free for uploading files and folders. Just upload a couple of HD episodes of your favourite show, OR make a 3gb zip file and rename it .avi if you're struggling for ideas.
You could do all of this this evening and turn a 2gb account into a 25gb UBER ACCOUNT for free.
Awesome, eh?

I got 25Gb extra when sharing a folder
I got 25Gb extra space when sharing a folder with friends. In fact I have 2 emails and shared a folder with my second email address.
It did say I would get 250Mb, but seems to have bumped my account up by 25Gb after I shared out the folder. Not sure if that's because of the One X deal of if that's the same for everyone.

You can take out the dropquest2011 link as it doesn't work any more. If you've already started it however then you can still finish.

[Signatures] ☎ Create your own mobile devices timeline (phones history) - super easy

[Signatures] ☎ Create your own mobile devices timeline (phones history) - super easy
Hi,
A new free web service has been just released - Mowned.com.
You can create your own mobile devices showcase (timeline).
As users creates timelines (eg: add phones and year when they got them), some interesting data will appear (such as: appreciations, devices owned by years, etc - for example check this page).
.. but let's go back to the forum signature. You can create easily signature image that can be used in forums, etc. For an example of a generated signature check mine.
Steps:
Login with Facebook - just click that button, confirm the dialog from Facebook then your account is automatically created
Add your phones - the process is intuitive, you will see once you finish step 1
After you added all your phones click "Activate image signature" from bottom of your dashboard
Copy desired BBcode code generated with the signature image
That's all. You can have your signature in minutes.. in the case you remember all the data .
You may observe that some years in the signature are in gray color instead black. Black means that device is still owned, gray = device gone.
PS: phone years is not mandatory but nice to have (for statistics, as written above)
The service can be acccesed via:
mowned.com - users mobile devices timelines
Available signature formats

Would be great if you didn't need to use Facebook for it to work.

XperienceD, "Login with Twitter" may be implemented soon. It's that ok for you, since Twitter share less information than Facebook?
Thanks

^^^ Exactly what he said ^^^ I have no FaceBook account. I have no twitter account. I only have a G+ account because I need a Google account for my Android phone to function fully.
I look forward to the day when FB suddenly goes out of business and all these other companies are screwed - why they can't simply create their own log-in - or even better not require one - I don't understand.

Love the idea but why do you need a login in the first place?
I would remove the need (maybe give the option to) to get more people using it.. what's to stop someone else making a site that does the same but with no login?

Yeap, but in future you get new devices so you need to update current phones list (timeline). If the phone's aren't linked to an user account you cannot edit..

I guess sites uses Login/Connect via Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Facebook because:
1) users that are using those platforms don't have to complete registrations forms.. just a few clicks and voila, you have access to the site. I personally prefer to login with Twitter and if I like a site and have this option I would sign in using this alternative
2) sites programmers don't have to stress with users creating process, eg: captcha, e-mail validation,etc.. Plus they got extra information, especially from Facebook, such as interests, etc (mowned.com doesn't store such information)

Login it's needed because:
- phones are linked to an account
- edit phones list in future (eg: add new device, correct device year from - to, etc)
- user-based phone list helps improve the statistics per phone, for example see this link: http://mowned.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250
- rate phones (for the sake of statistics again)
So.. what's the purpose you may ask? Well, this way we may see most appreciated phones by owners, phones owned by years, most owned phones.. It's true that you need some amount of data to a have a proper view..
I will implement in the next days a solution for login with e-mail and password (so an valid e-mail and password is needed for registration).
Edit:
Has anyone tried this?

Hello,
Now there's the option to sign up with an e-mail.

Seems to work, but I didn't get the timeline signature picture at the end.
Maybe it's because of my username with the underscore => "IT_ler" ?!
Or do I have to wait after creating my timeline before the jpg will be made and provided?
This should be the link for my timeline signature picture:
[url=http://mowned.com/it_ler][img]http://mowned.com/sig/it_ler.jpg[/img][/url]
EDIT:
Now it's fixed and working fine !

It_ler, yeap it was the underscore, the route didn't know about it (only about "-") so an 404 error was triggered. Now it's fixed.
Thank you for the report!

Cool! just don't like the red ad
Thanks a lot anyway!

XxStatiX thanks, now the logo part is tweaked a bit. Indeed it was too bulky and took too much space. + now it can show up to 11 phones instead 10. Do you think it's ok now?
(if you see no changes you have to refresh the page to force a new fresh request - instead it will show from your browser cache)

nitubhaskar thank you!
Now the image stretches horizontally (its width) automatically. Eg: if you owned only 3 phones no need to make it 500px long..
Thanks for giving me this idea. So your signature image is 324 x 80 instead 500 x 80.
That's what I could do at the moment. The signatures aren't customizable per user (at least ATM).

Yay its Fixed! Exactly what i wanted,Adding phones now! Wait

Hi,
Now minimal information about most popular mobile phones (from mowned users input) is shown in main page of the site.
I'm thinking to add in near future an option for those who want only to generate signature images without creating an account. This data will not be merged with user phones database, so it will not help/affect the main statistics.

Jaxbot's Native Notification Center for Windows Phone 7.8

Weird thing i found is how invisible this release from WPH is.
The Notification Center, the dream of every Windows Phone is forgotten !
I tested the app on my own phone... it doesn't work. OK, but still i found absolutely no thread about this Xap, i think it could be developped if known better (jaxbot has retired from the WP7 scene i think, so i guess he won't do it. We can be grateful for this very good start)

}
Here is his the presentation of the app found i here
There's been more opposition for this project than with... well, I tried to come up with a good joke, but let's cut to the chase.
I've decided to release a rewrite I made of Notifications. It only works on full unlocked devices. Here's the details:
This app caches the push notifications sent to your phone. So if someone mentions you on Twitter, and you miss the toast, it will appear in Notifications.
This app does not cache non-push messages, such as texts, emails, calls, etc.
Complete rewrite; it works differently than the original Notifications app. No PC tether, no external servers, etc.
The NC service runs on the device. This is why you need your device to be full unlocked.
I'll repeat that. It must be full unlocked, meaning you must be able to run EXE programs on it.
The setup is simple. Download and install it to your device. Run the app, and it should take you to the setup page. Press install, then agree to the disclaimer. It will prompt you to reboot. Do so, and with any luck, it'll work.
I'm releasing it without support. Notifications works for some people, doesn't for others. The problem is likely to do with full unlocking. If you have a custom ROM that is fully unlocked, it should work. As for EXE unlocking rooted devices, it may be hit or miss. We'll see on that.
The source is available on Github. Download the XAP here: ncroot1.xap. If you didn't read anything else: You need a policy unlocked or full unlocked device. If your device is not full unlocked, read the instructions appended below.
Also, if you want to test if it works, install SimplePush. It'll send a quick toast to your device.
Other than that, enjoy. I'm curious to see what the feedback is, and whether or not it works in certain scenarios. I don't know what the demand is to keep working on it, but here it is, and with that, enjoy.
Update: Should now work on interop-unlocked devices, provided you use WP7 Root Tools. To do this, install the XAP, mark it as "Trusted", run Notifications, click Install, and reboot your phone. Presto. Do give feedback on whether or not this works.

It's just a http server written using .Net (not silverlight), that listens for every push notification. But I really don't know what we can develop in this application. Any idea?

well personnaly i don't like the idea to have notification push making my phone ring every minuts (if i'm active on facebook or twitter).
So i use snotify to silence the notifications. This app would be ideal to tell me what did i miss on what app.
That's an exemple for one use, but i'm sure there is many others.
Actualy for twitter, my dream would be an app that puts in cache every tweets i missed (or the number of tweet i missed, even if i'm not mentionned, or every tweet from some selected profiles) so i would know if its worth opening the app or no (instead of checkin every 10 mins if there's something interesting) but we're maybe out of subject !

Any idear why it wouldn't work on my device btw ? I am full unlocked (septvies's devbuild_8862 1.5) on samsung Omnia 7

Weird Account Logout behavior 🤔

Hello,
Couple minutes ago, I logged out from my account in xda, and when I logged out I saw the account name changed to another user called stratian45646 and I found his account.
I don't know why this happened? Is that a glitch/bug on the xda website or something different going on? Check the screenshot below, it's the moment I logged out and I saw this - when I tried to clicked on the account name to see the profile, a window pop up to login again. Also before that I saw a message saying "a user has changed" but I didn't paid attention since this happened in the past again but I refreshed the page and all was good.

Well as I write this, I have deleted the two Cookies you mention and I'm still logged in and able to post as me.
Also, although I can see how deleting cookies can result in odd forum behavior, like the cached guest pages you mention, I'm not so clear on how this would explain the case where logging out results in another user's name appearing top right as if you were logged in as that other user (even if you aren't really logged in as them).

PHP server or the forum software still recognize you as logged in user.
BUT, pages you visit after that will be cached for guest view as the cache server (Nginx or LiteSpeed) think you as Guest visitor only, this is the mis-configured part.
Sample:
Delete both xf_lscxf_logged_in & xf_user cookies
Visit any forum page (add random query to avoid cache hit):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/oneplus-8t-accessories.11591/post-thread
Now open that same url on Incognito mode or as Guest on other browser
You should be able to access it via Cache with your account logged (when guest should not be able to view that)

Yes, I understand. I thought, (probably incorrectly) that you were explaining how another user's name could appear on the page (like happened to someone several posts up).
I thnk though you were explaining a different issue... the one where a user gets mixed messages about being logged in or out.
