"Tango" and future "Apollo" update

Hello.
At the moment i'm looking to buy a new phone and am considering the Nokia Lumia 800.
What i want to know is if this mobile will be able to support the upcoming Tango update by MS and eventually upgrade to the windowsmobile 8 platform due out by the end of the year.
Does anyone know?

Windows Phone Tango minimum hardware limitations outlined..
Both the Lumia 610 and Orbit employ 256MB of RAM and this means that there are certain implications which consumers will need to bear in mind when choosing a Windows Phone device, these are as follows:
• Windows Phone Marketplace app restrictions – Some processor-intensive apps have particular memory requirements, and won’t work on phones with 256MB of RAM.
• Podcast/Video Podcast Subscriptions – Managing podcast subscriptions or watching video podcasts on a device with 256MB of RAM will not be possible.
• Bing Local Scout – Bing Local Scout won't feature on a device with only 256MB of RAM.
• Fast app/Task switching – The feature differs on Windows Phones with 256MB of RAM in that if a single application uses over 90MB, it will be killed on exit and thus not appear in the task switcher, besides this the functionality will remain unchanged.
• SkyDrive automatic photo upload – 256MB of RAM means no auto-upload option, but users will still be able to upload their photos manually.
• HD video playback – Some compressed videos will be unable to play due to a lack of  codec support on devices with 256MB of RAM.
• Background agents – To free up RAM for the foreground on such devices, generic background agents (PeriodicTasks/ResourceIntensiveTasks) will be disabled.
As well as informing prospective buyers of these new more competitively priced Windows Phones what they'll be missing out on, Microsoft have also made a point of appealing to Windows Phone developers who will need to take into account the limitations of devices using the new minimum hardware requirements.
Speed seems to be key with a message of optimizing app start times and reducing an apps' memory footprint being pushed to developers. All this being said, Microsoft are adding features to Windows Phone 7.5 too, including a new location alert, MMS enhancements and improved SIM contact management.
Windows Phone "Tango" should be arriving on 256MB of RAM-endowed Windows Phone devices come Q2 this year.

  • Old Cameras and Future ACR updates

    Quick question: with a future update of ACR, would one expect it to improve the rendering of RAW files from an "old" camera or would it only be likely to improve renderings for new cameras going forward?
    Generally, I guess I'm wondering if when ACR rendering is improved, is it relying upon new profiles from old cameras (seems to be unlikely level of effort required) or upon improved ability to understand the manufacture's RAW files, which would affect the full line of that manufacturers cameras?
    Specifically, I have a 3-4 yo Canon Rebel XT. I'm wondering if future versions/improvements to ACR would improve the ability to read RAW files from this camera.
    Thanks,
    Frank

    There is two parts to understanding RAW. One is the demosaic algorithm. Almost every current camera uses a Bayer mosaic sensor with a simple antialias filter in front. When ACR's algorithm for demoisaicing improves, it improves for ALL cameras, not just the new ones. You'll gte more detail and lower noise automatically. Second part is the mapping of the camera signals to certain colors. To do this the ACR/Lightroom folks shoot testcharts with all these different cameras and generate profiles from these shots. New profiles are added all the time and in 1.4 (ACR 4.4), a lot of new profiles for old cameras were introduced. Even for cameras that are not sold anymore. At some point for sure, they must stop profiling older cameras. You'll still benefit from improvements in the demosiac though.

  • What is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?

    Buying a used iPad... what is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?
    Thanks

    An iPad 2 will do it...for awhile. Realize that it's seemingly on it's last legs as far as iOS updates go and performance will not be great enough for today's demanding games. Also realize that a big part of running apps smoothly is how much system RAM (the memory area that the apps actually run in) the device has. The iPad 2 has 512 MB which is adequate for most apps but not for some. The iPads above the iPad 2 all have 1 GB of system RAM and the iPad Air 2 has 2 GB.
    The time will come when the iPad 2 can no longer be updated past a certain iOS version (as the iPad 1 is) so it will be more difficult to keep up with apps that you want to be using. This will eventually happen to ALL devices so you'll have to judge if you want to be at the tail-end of iOS updates or at least have a bigger buffer with a newer iPad.

    Firefox shut down & updated in the middle of my work; I could not restore my session; you have literally cost me my job and future if this cannot be fixed. I don't understand why it updated without me prompting it to. It also never ask to report a crash.
    I went to play a youtube video, my entire screen flashed, when the screen came back, the youtube video screen was green. I refreshed the page and my system stopped- a blue screen appeared and something about verifying disk or something. My system the restarted, and when I opened firefox, it first said preparing updates and when it did finally open, the new updated version, of course, I could not restore my previous session.

    You can check in the Firefox profile folder to see if there are numbered sessionstore-##.js present.<br />
    The sessionstore.bak file could also have a previous session.

  • New Apple TV and future firmware/os updates ?

    It might be a basic question, but I am very new to apple tv device. The new apple Tv model looks good and have plans to purchase one. What I wanted to know is, does it support new firmware/os/iTunes updates ? the way ipod touch/ iphone supports. For example if new movie websites (as of now youtube and netflix) are introduced in coming apple tv versions , then is that possible that I can also update to get such new features ?
    If Yes, how to ?

    Hi, i recently factory reset my apple tv (1st gen), and do software update.
    it successfully goes to firmware 3.0.2. and said its updated and no more updates available.
    whats confuse me is, that in Remote 2.0 apps for iphone/ipad, stated the remote will work with apple tv 1st gen using OS 3.1.2 ?
    Now.. how the heck im updating to os 3.1.2 on my atv if it says its updated already!? many thanks

  • History and Future Bucket of the Data View

    Hi Experts
    As per my Client Requirement Planning for the Next year Jan 2010 u2013 Dec 2010 which Starts in the second Quarter of the Year 2009.
    They need historical data (Historical Time Bucket) of Last 3 years in the monthly bucket and Future bucket for Jan 2010- Dec 2010.
    My query in this regard to design Data view which  need to Show Historical periods of Last 3 yrs from current month and Future Bucket as Jan 2010-Dec 2010 to input the Forecast.
    The next planning Cycle would start in the second Quarter of the 2010 to forecast for the Jan 2011 to Dec 2011. When they plan for the Year Jan 2011 u2013 Dec 2011 the data views should be automatically roll or update with future bucket Jan 2011-Dec2011 and History Bucket with three years in the monthly bucket from the Current Month.
    Please give your Valuable Suggestions with regard to above requirement.
    I tried by Giving Planning Start Date as 01.01.2010 , but it is not fulfilling the above requirement.

    Hi Anuradha
    Thanks for you quick reply.
    Assume that we are in the Month of June 2009, My planners start the planning process  for the Jan 2010 - Dec 2010.
    If i take 1 year it wont help me , Future Buckets will be till May 2010.
    If i take 17 Months as the Future Buckets , Future buckets are displayed till Dec 2010.
    Till June 2010 In between Planners can have Revision , and may again change the Forecast.
    Suppose Assume that we have revision in the month of March 2010 , Here Future Buckets are displayed till October 2011.
    How to make my data view time bucket in the synchronized with future Periods.
    Thanks in Advance

  • How do I disable future iOS updates till later date to prevent problems with non iOS compliant Apps?

    Hello first time post here so excuse me if my posting etiquette is off and this seems lengthy.
    I am a beginning tech (4 months) in a school district that has started the 1 to 1 initiative with iPads (iPad 2).
    There is a huge learning curve I am facing as I don't know hardly anything about the new piece of software - apple Configurator. (A side note I was issued my very first iPad in the same time working for the district. BTW liking the iPad a lot).
    I am looking for friendly beginning user info on how to operate the Apple Configurator - suggestions? At this time I have only served in an observer capacity as it assigned to someone else in the district to do. However I know this person would appreciate another mind to help out  around the problem so I need to get up to speed.
    This a story of bumps and scrapes and bruises on the 1-1 initiative in the district and its 4 major hiccups have occurred (that I observed).
    I am hoping others have discovered these problems and figured out a way to handle them or avoid them and would be willing to share what you did.
    Here goes...
    The district started the 1-1 initiative roughly 3 years ago. They had a person in the middle school (way before me) in charge of the iPads. They used the IPhone Configurator device to manage the iPads. My understanding was this was very slow. That person was finally able to retire and took their knowledge they had of the iPhone Configurator utility that they used with them.The district chose to start using the Apple Configurator software this year for iPad management.
    We have a brand new person that has been put in charge of this. The person did not know the software either (nor did anyone else in the district).This person has made great strides to learn the software. However there has been some issues along the way:
            1. The school where the iPad 1-1 initiative is a middle school. The students are assigned the same iPad for all three years. As 6th graders come in they are issued an iPad. As the 8th grade finishes up, they head on to high school and the iPads gets recycled to the next 6th graders walking in the door. Each grade level has there own set of apps, so the (finished) 8th graders iPads get reset for the next 6th graders walking in.
    The issue is (my understanding) is that the volume purchase apps did not always revert back to the Apple Configurator/App store spread sheets before the iPads were reset. It took an act of congress with Apple to refund these apps because they were lost. Mind you we have 400 iPads in just this school alone so you can see why it was important to get these Volume Purchase Apps refunded to put on the new 6th graders iPads. $$$
             2. When the iPads were given to the students, the Apps would not work and all they would do is shake for a second. The iPads were recollected and redone. Time away from the students and classes.
            3. The iPads were refinished (with all the apps reinstalled) and given to the students. Then the students were given instructions in class how to manually setup their exchange email accounts on their iPads. Turns out the restrictions on the iPads (from the apple Configurator) were set up so the email info they put in could not verify with the exchange server. They wouldn't send or receive. So the iPads were all recalled back (time away from students and their classes again) and redone with the restrictions/ apps reinstalled.
            4. Most recent problem... iOS6 came out and all of a sudden we find out that two of our biggest 3rd party Apps were having problems with it. So it made the Apps at that point worthless. (These are paid for - expensive, most used by the school Apps).  Well there was no way to prevent the students from updating to IOS6 on their own (mind you they can't get to the App Store) but they can do the iOS6 update whenever they want. Before the problem was discovered, students were prompted by their iPads and they started doing the iOS6 update. I discovered this and immediately had the secretary send out emails to everyone do not download this thing because it was making problems for existing installed Apps. Of course there are were a few more students that were like "this don't apply to me right?" and they downloaded it anyways.
    So after 3 weeks of these apps not working, App update/releases were finally given and they are working again. So far we have only fixed some of iOS6 kids that are in need of those two broken apps.
    Now we are at a crossroad with the other 95 installed apps to consider ... if we let the students update to iOS6 to fix the two broken apps will it interfere with the other 93 apps that are working under iOS5.1...
    This iOS update thing would be better considered in the summer time for us (for future iOS updates).
    So I need to know is there away to prevent this in the future? Is there away to hold off the iOS updates till summer? I've seen people say control it by blocking it through the network but it doesn't prevent them from doing this at home. Where in the apple Configurator can we control this?
    Thanks for reading.

    You will not be able to block IOS 6.  You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way.   You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

  • Is Apple considering the inclusion of a MS Exchange Groups functinality for iCloud Contacts in future iOS7 updates?

    Is Apple considering Exchange Groups functinality for iCloud Contacts in future iOS7 updates? If not, I am considering a change to an Android or Blackberry device.
    Since converting from Palm and Balckberry devices a few years ago, I have missed the full MS Exchange Contact Group functionality they had.
    I have used many of the work-arounds and thrid party apps people have suggested but I find they are not convnient.
    Does any else want this functionality in iOS?

    We are all fellow users and not Apple employees so no one knows what Apple is looking at for future iOS versions.  All any of us can do is wait and see and give Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • Mac Pro and Mac OS Update 10.5.2 Conflict!

    I have re-installed Leopard three time already because of a conflict with my Mac Pro and apple's combined OS update for 10.5.2. After installing the update, my computer becomes unstable and eventually stops starting up properly, forcing me to partition and format the drive for a clean installation.
    As a result, I am staying away from 10.5.2 and hope that future OS updates do not include such problems.
    Just posting to warn others and see if anyone else had this problem. Take care!

    I can't tell you have many times I've installed 10.5.2, except to say never had a problem but almost any type of conflict could occur with 3rd party hardware, software, AFP, routers or whatnot.
    I would subscribe to checking news sites daily as they have collect reports, offer tips based on feedback, and see if any of it fits your situation (or "can of worms" I guess).
    MacIntouch, MacFixit, Xlr8yourmac.com all have article.
    Forums such as Mac OS X Leopard on Apple tend to have a number of threads, but the majority do seem to escape unscathed. So seems like every time you try, you do the same thing, get the same results. Adjust your game plan.

  • HT204022 When i delete photos from photo stream in iphoto .. The pictures are still there on my iphone's photo stream. They are both connected to the same i cloud account.. And i cannot update to ios 5.1 on iphone.. Any help ??

    When i delete photos from photo stream in iphoto .. The pictures are still there on my iphone's photo stream. They are both connected to the same i cloud account.. And i cannot update to ios 5.1 on iphone.. Any help ??

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • SSH changes vs future firmware update

    Hullo, I have made some changes to WD My Cloud via SHH: I disabled ipv6;I stopped two services through crontab (S85wdmcserverd and S86wdphotodbmergerd)etc, according to http://blog.cloud-client.info/?p=1365 In case of future firmware update and I perform the installation will the changes done be overwritten?Would be advisable to accept the update in the future? Thank you in advance.     

    Indeed, an answer from a user that has experienced the aggravation of firmware updating and vowed never again will he update; unless he has two clouds (one to update and the other to keep as backup). yes... once you update your firmware, all changes will be lost and if you had store script files in the /usr/local/sbin directory, they will be gone too... In a sense it is a good thing because if you had done a lot a changes, this reverts your device back to original factory state. Now I have heard rumors that if you by pass too many firmware updates and decided to upgrade from, lets say 3.04 (which happens to coincide with my current version) to the latest firmware 4.xxx which is probably 6 update versions ago, your device will be bricked. They say, the customers that runs and replies in this forum, that you will need to upgrade your firmware one by one until you reach the latest version. The other rumor is that many have updated their firmware to the latest version to find that nothing works, speed is slower, usb connections don't connect and of course drop outs are more frequent. Then there are those who says "I've upgraded and everything is fine", but that particular user probably has 5MB of data on his drive. Now here is what I suggest. 1. Always have another copy of your data which has nothing to do with firmware updates. Never ever copy your data to the Cloud device and erase the original unless you have another copy somewhere else. If you don't have another device and don't wish to buy another device, either leave the original on your original drive and use the Cloud as your backup, or subscribe to one of the free or paid online storage to keep a backup copy, but don't rely on the online storage as your only copy either, since places like Megaupload may disappear overnight and your only copy may be in the hands of the FBI.2. if you upgrade your firmware, it is better to have another Cloud for a 3rd backup. That way if something fails (and it would feel like it expecially when it goes white light on you), you have another device to use while the other one is being RMAed.3. If you have stopped the scans from occuring, the first thing that happens after an update is a flurry of activity from your Cloud trying to catch up on its scans and you might get locked out. So be prepared to SSH into it as soon as it lets you which is way way after the white light stays on for several hours (speaking from experience). 4. Once you SSH in, be prepare to repeat the fixes that you applied to your last version. For four years (or more), I haven't seen a switch to turn off the media scans although in version 3.04, they actually turned off the scans automatically dues to processor overload and it had a message on the UI telling me that the scans has been stopped and in order to restart the scans you must reboot (I didn't reboot for 6 months). You can skip firmware upgrades as I have without too much problems. Although they have fixed a couple of potential security threats, none of them should potentially affect you since you are behind a router. Although eventually I expect that I will have to upgrade my firmware simply for the reason that the matching iphone app will require the latest version. Perhaps on that day, I will sell my Cloud and move on to a more robust NAS. Good luck..  edit: the/bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S86wdphotodbmergerd stop /bin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S85wdmcserverd stop  are not permanent changes. If you reboot the Cloud, those two process will restart. The update-rc.d commands will disable the processes until you upgrade the firmware.

    No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

  • My nano is stuck in "safe mode" still and will not update.

    The original problem:When I was trying to update my nano ipod to 2006-03-23 it ended up going to a black and white screen which said do not disconnect. The updater wouldn't work, it kept saying that the firmware (or whatever the name of the maker is) wouldn't work and that the update had failed. The my nano said it was ok to disconnect. When I did so it came up to the window that has a little folder on it and says check www.apple.com/ipod/support.
    So, I followed the five Rs, have reset the ipod, have reinstalled all the software, but now the ipod will not go past the black and white screen. I can load the ipod software but then the updater on the CD that came with my ipod won't work. Sometimes the updater says the ipod needs formatted sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I'll get a little further in the updater where it will let me "restore" the ipod to its original factory state but then the restoration also fails.
    Now the problem: After trying several things from updating my Windows systems to removing spyware and firewalls from my computer, I'm now receiving this message when I try and update my nano: ipod service error. What can I do to get my nano to work? Is there an apple 1 800 number I can call?

    Try these...

  • Please help, iPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and will not update.

    I tried to update my girlfriend's iPhone 5 (AT&T) from 6.1.2 to 7.0.4 last night and something went wrong so of course I had backed it up so I put the phone into recovery mode and attempted to completely restore it and then restore from back-up (or at least that was my plan) but the problem is that once I got it in recovery mode and started the update it froze mid-update (Not a computer problem, I have a rMBP 2013, 2.3 ghz i7 & 16GB ram) so after about 30 minutes of watching it at the same spot I unplugged it and attempted to start over. Now everytime I attempt to update it it tries to re-download the software and once it gets completely downloaded it says it was corrupted during the download. I have also attempted to download the IPSW manunally and update that way and it now gets partially through the update and throws an error message. I have tried to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode and it does not work either. I am out of options, I have no idea what else to do. I aplogize for my ****** grammar and sentence structure I am flustered and haven't taken the time to proofread it.

    FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
    Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
    Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.
