Our current Windows Forums includes all topics about Windows Products. You are given the option to select "Windows Phone Discussions". In regards to setting up a new category, I will forward your suggestion to leadership.

Mr. Chauncey,
You seem to misunderstand the substance of the request. This site has a category entitled Windows Mobile. The category is not named Windows Forums or Windows Products. Within the Windows Mobile category are sections entitled Windows Phone Discussions, as you noted, and HTC Trophy. Windows Phone is distinctly different and separate from Windows Mobile, so discussions about Windows Phone should not be categorized under Windows Mobile. The HTC Trophy runs Windows Phone not Windows Mobile, so the HTC Trophy should not be categorized under Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile is defunct. Windows Phone is the correct name for the current Windows devices. This site needs to be updated.

Has this Forum name changed to CS5?

Has this Forum name changed to CS5 ....today, recently, a long time ago?
No big deal ...just noticed it and got myself lost for a moment? (My bookmark says Adobe CS4 Forum)
At my age I have to keep testing myself for onslaught of memory loss and senility!

It seems that now that CS5 is "done and out" there are several Adobe employees who have started posting in the last week or so
One of them (check the lounge) is doing some housekeeping on the forum structure
I, for one, like the changes... CS5 SHOULD be in a place of its own, since it is 64bit and has MPE so the questions are going to be different (well... some of them, at least)

Main Safari Discussion list needs wider column(s) or sub forum name change

The main discussions list window has fixed column widths and the one that lists which forum a particular topic resides is too small for the entries there. Either that column needs to be wider so that one can see whether "Safari 3 Public Beta ...." entry is for Windows or Mac OR change those forum names to something like "Safari 3 for Mac - Public Beta" and "Safari 3 for Windows - Public Beta"

Perhaps a Name Change to 'BI in SAP NW2004s' Forum?

Now that SAP is referring to this BI 7.0, perhaps we could get a forum name change, e.g.
<b>BI in SAP NW 7.0 (2004s) </b>
This is how it is being referred to by SAP most of the time now and changing the forum name might help avoid confusion for any new folks that don't know about the 2004s history.

We could reduce the number of postings in another forum by changing the name from Exchange Infrastructure to Process Integration - in line with NW04s!
That'd confuse them!

Meego is better than Windows Phone

I think Meego is better than Windows Phone from certain point of view, at least the Name of Meego is nice than the Name of Windows Phone!

@Avenger_Osiris: As I have got the N9, I can already comment on that. I love the device. The buildquality is excellent, the screen is a pearl with vivid colours. The OS and UI is a new experience to me, but has so far been nothing but great. You adapt easily to how to navigate and the whole thing is so smooth.
There are of course lots of improvement needed, but I had no issues using it as my main device straight out of box. There are at least 2 updates coming as I know, and you also have the support from the community. It's a geeks device, but still easy enough for everyone to use.
Symbian is dying yes, but not as fast as we first thought. Even though the mess with Anna was a crazy mans circus, I still haven't heard anything saying that Nokia will stop the process with belle. Hopefully they will manage to get it out a bit quicker than with Anna.
I will comment on the lumia when I get it. That will also be a new experience to me - though I had a windows phone many years ago - motorola clam shell

Now my Forum name is martcol-BiAuTr - What's that About?

This morning my forum name changed. I don't like it. It's freeking me out almost as much as the Green LED on my DVD player. It's just not right.
I also notice a strange collection of letters by my email on the hover pop-up for my user name.
Am I being infiltrated or something?

The three magic words are, "It All Depends".
Different people will give you totally opposing, yet true, advice depending on their situations.
In an ideal world, where money is of no importance, bigger is probably best. However, most people live in the real world where there are financial constraints.
If you are a video professional whose very survival is at risk, you will naturally get the "best and biggest".
However, if saving a few seconds here and there is not so important you will reach a compromise.
Look at the equipment I am using. Prehistoric ! Yet it happily runs FCE 3.5 and FCP 5.1.4. Admittedly it won't let me use Color or Motion.
The cheap MBP should be easily capable of handling everything you require.
Incidentally, if video is just a sideline, you may be better off getting FCE 4 for about a fifth the price of FCS 2. It is the same program minus a few of the unnecessary bells and whistles and less the extra applications of the FCS suite.

How to change a Windows Phone start page programmatically?

FYI, I know the title is similar to many posts in this forum, but they don't address this specific problem.
I have the following line in the App.xaml.cs file:
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(Page1), e.Arguments))
When I change MainPage to Page1, it changes the page you see on startup. So far so good. The problem is:
On Page1 I have checkbox so a user can check "do not show this page again". When a user clicks continue, on the button click event if the box is checked every time the program starts going forward it should load MainPage.
I am working with the following I have found:
To fix this you need to do the following in your tutorial page's button click
// Inside the Button click event of TutorialPage.xaml
// Change the mapping so that MainPage points to itself
((UriMapper)App.RootFrame.UriMapper).UriMappings[0].MappedUri =
new Uri("/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
// Since RootFrame.CurrentSource is still set to MainPage, you need to pass
// some dummy query string to force the navigation
App.RootFrame.Navigate(new Uri("/MainPage.xaml?dummy=1", UriKind.Relative));
// Remove back entry so that if user taps the back button
// you won't get back to tutorial
App.RootFrame.RemoveBackEntry();
This seems like what I want, but I get two errors I can't solve. Error 1 The type or namespace name 'UriMapper' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) and Error 2 'My.App' does not
contain a definition for 'RootFrame'
I can't find a using statement or anything that will remove the URI error. as far as RootFrame, that is used in App.xaml.cs with no errors. It's spelled rootFrame but when I change it in Page1 it doesn't make a difference. I still get the same error. Using
statements are the same for both pages.
I would appreciate any help or a point in the right direction. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 with the blank Windows Phone template.

I hope I'm not missing something because this is a very obvious solution...
Store a user setting and test it when the app launches.
if(usersetting == true)
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(Page1), e.Arguments))
else
if (!rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), e.Arguments))
That user setting would have to be stored in the local user settings (consider the first line of my code to be pseudo-code).
This works perfectly for a scenario where you have a page that should only launch the first time an app is run or an optional landing page.
I'm a self-taught noob amateur. Please take this into account when responding to my posts or when taking advice from me.

Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

sunit kumar

Hi,
We can use the active directory rename tools to rename domain NetBIOS name. But it is a complex and risky process.
For more information about how to use random.exe to rename domain name, please refer to the following article:
Rendom
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732097.aspx
Besides, renaming of the NetBIOS domain name is not supported in any version of Exchange Server.
For more information about this, the following threads can be referred to.

Skype for Windows Phone Sign-In Process Changes

Today we’re releasing an update for Skype for Windows Phone with some changes to the way you sign in. To help you get started, we’ve put together this short guide.
What’s changing and why?
Instead of having to remember a Microsoft account for your Windows Phone and a separate Skype Name and password, all users will now only need their Microsoft Account to sign in to Skype for Windows Phone. You’ll also benefit from added security, privacy and improved password recovery.
Learn more about what’s changing in today’s update.
What does the change mean for me?
When you sign in for the first time after the update, we’ll prompt you to sign in with your Microsoft account.
If this is the first time you’ve signed in with your Microsoft account, we’ll ask you to link it to an existing Skype account.
If you’re already using your Microsoft Account to sign in to any version of Skype, then you won’t need to link your accounts again.
How does this work with multiple accounts?
This is a link between one Microsoft account and one Skype account. We recommend you link the Microsoft account you use on your Windows Phone with the Skype account you want to use on that device.
What happens if I linked the wrong accounts?
Not to worry, you can unlink your Microsoft account from your Skype account at any time. You’ll then be asked to link your Microsoft account again the next time you sign in on your Windows Phone.
Learn more about unlinking your Microsoft and Skype accounts.
What if I don’t remember my Microsoft account details?
You can find the Microsoft account that you use on your Windows Phone by going to the Start screen, swiping from the right and selecting Settings > email+accounts.
Once you have your Microsoft account email address, you can then recover your password if you don’t remember it.
Where can I go with questions or feedback?
You’re already in the right place on the Skype Community. Please ask your question or leave your feedback on today’s update in the comments.

Does the above quote mean you can only use one skype account on your windows phone if I link my skype account that was set up with yahoo mail to my windows phone Microsoft account which is the same for logging in to my laptop that has windows 8.1 installed on it.
What i would like to do is to be able to sign in with either which I could do before the app update. The Microsoft one Is for personal use and the yahoo one is for work. I would like to keep them separate and does it mean nobody else can sign into their skype accounts on my phone if its not linked to my Microsoft account.
Hope this makes sense.
You can still use several Skype accounts on your phone, but you can link one Skype account to one Microsoft account.
If the Microsoft account you have for personal use is already linked to a personal Skype account, then you can simply use the Microsoft accont to log into the phone.
I understand your work Skype account is not yet linked to a Microsoft account? If you do not have a second Microsoft account to link to this work Skype account, then you can create a new Microsoft account and link to your work Skype account to be able to log into the phone with this account.
You can sign into Skype with any Microsoft account, does not have to be the one that is used to set up the phone.

ITunes name change with Mobile Phone

I have a Motorola SLVR phone that I put songs on it using iTunes. My original name for the phone was long and I wanted to change it. Along the right hand side, I clicked on my mobile and renamed it. Now I am unable to add songs to it. There is a circle with a line through it when I try. The phone still has plenty of room on it to add songs. I do not remember the initial name to try to go back to. Did anyone encounter this problem and how did you resolve it? If not, any suggestions would be helpful because I tried everything I knew. Thanks.

Disable slider value change on tap Windows Phone 8 8.1

I'm working on a windows phone 8.1 application with some sliders for various settings.
I would like to know if it is possible to only allow a user to drag the slider to change it's value. I do not want
the value of the slider to change when the user taps an area away from the slider thumb (eg jump to the tapped point).
I have tried to set IsTapEnabled to false, and I have poured through the slider xaml documentation.
I still cant seem to disable 'tap change value' of the slider. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!

Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution. But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900. I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone. And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!
