Zuerst einmal möchte ich mich entschuldigen… Ich habe seit Oktober nichts mehr gepostet. Es ist privat einiges geschehen seither. Ich war im Ausland und machte einen Sprachaufenthalt (länger als geplant) und habe meine Arbeitsstelle gewechselt. Ich habe sehr viel Input seither erhalten. Ich danke euch für das Feedback, ich Antworte auch, wo ich kann oder will. ( Auf Twitter oder andere Messages wie "Iphone, Android oder Nokia (oder was auch immer) ist besser, gehe ich grundsätzlich nicht ein) Zumindest nicht in diesem Blog.
Wie gesagt, ich habe mich beruflich etwas umorientiert und werde nun auch beruflich wieder etwas näher am Thema sein. Kommen wir zu den Schwerpunkten im Januar. Ich werde mich um die folgenden Themen im Bezug auf WP7 kümmern resp. Den Schwerpunkt legen:
- Windows Phone im Unternehmen
- Der kommende Update
- Bestehende und bekannte Probleme
Also.. Beginnen wir mit den bekannten Problemen.(Achtung, Liste ist lang) An dieser Stelle muss ich noch sagen, dass ich seit Oktober ein HD7 benutze, ohne Probleme und absolut Zufrieden bin. Wen nicht sogar endlos begeistert. (mit 32 GB Storage, Details auf XDA oder nach Anfrage). Die "Anzeichen" von Problemen, welche ich schon gesehen oder beobachte habe, sind fett markiert.(mit Kommentar, alle anderen habe ich noch nie gesehen oder sind missing features, die ich auch vermisse)
Nun zur Liste:
GENERAL
* Automatic reboot of the phone
* Automatic reboot of the phone and loss of all datas (rare)
* Pictures assigned to Live Tiles (people, pictures, etc) are very low resolution pictures
* Samely, very low resolution picture showing on the screen when a contact calls you (Auflösung könnte wirklich besser sein)
* Email notifications sound laggy/distorded: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...0-d4f96edf42d9
* Game Hub: in the Game Hub most icons are zoomed in and pixelated (concerns mainly non-Xbox live games)
* Some annoying background hiss noise (right before a sound is played, which goes away shortly after that)
* Text: sometimes WP7 will capitalize the first letter of some words without any specific reason
* Weird icon appearing in the app list. See image: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/5507/iconvbx.png
* Sound of Games will remain enabled even when phone is on Vibrate (Ist so)
* Microphone may disable itself after use of bluetooth or plugging in headphones
* Alarms: Freezes when recurring alarm sounds and allowed to self quiet, when not plugged in. Does it everytime. Sometimes locks on dismiss screen, otherwise locks when dismissed
* Alarms: Phone may freeze on the passcode unlock screen when you dismiss the alarm (reboot necessary)
* Alarms: Sound issues after alarm sounding: No sound after alarms, vibration still works but no sound
* When an email contains a picture, it cannot be downloaded with Gmail on Windows Phone 7 (in HTML or RTF email format)
* The "Answer" button seems sometimes disabled when answering a call [rare]
CONNECTIVITY
* Wifi: WP7 sometimes unable to connect to password protected WiFi (WPA/WPA2 security)
* Wifi: WP7 fails to connect to hidden WiFi networks (known issue)
* Wifi: Issue with lockscreen: Wifi refuses to re-connect after it comes back from standby
* Wifi: After switching off Wifi, the phone will not connect over 3G (reboot necessary)
* Wifi: Wifi disconnects when phone is locked: absence of option to leave Wifi on even if phone is locked
* Bluetooth: Bluetooth works on Audio but fails on video (sound reverts to the speakers): http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...b-72f003fdeee9
* Bluetooth: Apparently Bluetooth not connecting well with all car systems: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...b-28ce0d561132
* Bluetooth: poor audio-quality when connecting the phone to various A2DP-capable devices
SYNC / EMAILS / PEOPLE / CALENDAR
* Sync: Exchange ActiveSync Error Code: 85010013 Security Policies
* Sync: Error code 86000206 when synchronizing to Hotmail account
* Sync: WP7's calendar refuses to push to Google calendar
* Sync: Having a calendar entry (Google), change in reminder (add a reminder, change time etc) does not sync with the phone
* Sync: iCal calendar appointments received by email are not recognized, and cannot be added to the calendar
Only if you change something like description of that item, then everything will be sync', including reminder info.
* Sync: Issue when sync'ing all calendar items from Windows Live Custom domains account. After copying the appointements from Outlook to WL calendar using the Connector, the non-recurring appointements appear in the web calendar BUT do not show up on the phone (recurring appts show up fine).
* Sync: Some Facebook contacts are missing from People's Hub
* Sync: Deleted people in Facebook still appear in the People Live Tile (ist so)
* Sync: Hidden posts in Facebook still appear in the WP7 Facebook feed (ist so)
* Video Sync: Error message when syncing a video from the phone to the collection "An unknown error occured. Error Code C00D11CD"
* Emails: bug in how WP7 connects with Exchange Server 2003 (which includes the service behind the Hotmail Exchange Activesync support). When email from such a server is forwarded the email is not included in an editable form, but rather as an .eml attachment
* Emails: Emails menu tends to start in 'landscape mode' by default (may be actually on purpose, many users find this annoying):
E.g. If the user takes the phone in his hand in portrait mode as the main tiled interface shows, and opens the messages or mail app, the content is in the landscape mode. User has to tilt the phone 45 degrees and wait for it to correctly switch to portrait.
* Emails: Emails fail to automatically display embedded images.
* Emails: Incorrect processing of Mailto URLs http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=57
* Emails: when a picture is attached. click on "download images" will come back "download incomplete", with no way to force the email to re-download (forward the email to urself may solve the issue) (Habe ich öfters auf dem Gmail Account, nie auf dem Exchange)
ZUNE
* Zune crashes, then refuses to load (reboot necessary)
* Zune remains silent, even if the general volume is turned on (reboot necessary)
* Zune keeps on working but no display: the whole screen is totally black
* Zune does not always display the artist as background (which remains black)
* [Also: sometimes, Zune displays the Artist background when navigating through the Artist's albums and songs, but does not display any background when listening a song of this Artist]
* Sometimes Zune's background displays the artist of the preceding song /or the next song
* Zune software on PC messes up some Artists' tags, by mistakenly replacing the Artist name by the composer name (e.g. Smog becomes Bill Callahan, Moose becomes Russel Yates, My Bloody Valentine becomes Kevins Shields, etc.)
* The volume of Zune may vary (e.g. louder or quieter after receiving a phone call, or after a game)
* Zune sound quality: strangely there is always some background hiss noise
* Audio stuttering at the end of each track
* No sound while Zune player is running, other sounds still working (reboot solves the problem) (1x erlebt)
* Turn off the sound of certain games may possibly also turn off the sound in Zune [to be confirmed. (e.g. RocketRiot, Bye Bye Brain, Bejeweled may cause this)]
* All letters are "greyed out" in the Zune alphabetic search menu [may concern mostly German devices]
MARKETPLACE
* WP7 freezes during Maketplace scrolling
* Marketplace crashes, then refuses to load (reboot necessary) (1x erlebt)
* Pressing the back button sometimes only leads to a black screen
* Pressing the back button on an app’s details page takes the user back to the beginning of the list, who then have to scroll down again to where he was
* Error code c101a24b when trying to install or update applications (reboot necessary)
* App updates failing to download/install
* Update of some specific apps failing due to "licensing problems" (IMDB, foursquare, Touchnote, Wipolo, some HTC apps)
IE BROWSER
* IE will not delete URLs from history if they contain international characters
* Bug when editing a Favorite: If you edit a favorite, and the change is limited to changing the case of the favorite but not the actual words (for example, changing Engadget to engadget), then you get an error with inaccurate details that states: "Your phone doesn't have enough memory to save this favorite. Free up space by deleting some files or apps and try again." http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...6-75ab1812828b
BING / BING MAPS / GPS
* Bing Maps not working properly in several non-US contries (loading time, inacurrate position, blurry maps) (Ja, speziell wenn man nicht US/Uk als Location eingestellt hat)
* Localization without GPS not working fine on 3G networks (apparently works better under 2G coverage)
* Current location as indicated by Bing Maps is wrong (e.g. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...4-895ae297ba9d )
PODCASTS
* WP7 fails to play most m4a podcasts (despite m4a is in the list of Windows Phone supported media codecs) [may apparently be caused by images embedded in some m4a podcasts - same problem encountered on the Zune HD]
VOICE COMMAND
* Once the audio jack is unplugged the Voice Command may not work (reboot necessary) [mostly noticed on the Focus]
* * *
MISSING FEATURES / DESIGN INCONSISTENCIES:
* Contact: WP7 does not allow to search in People for company name (fehlt)

* Alarms: If the earphones are plugged then alarm will not ring (alarm not reverted to speaker)
* Alarms: Alarms will ring even during phone calls, and the other side of call can also hear the alarm tune (!)
* Even when phone's passcode lock is activated the phone can still be turned off by holding down the power button
* Bluetooth: Bluetooth headset button long press and double press not supported (should allow voice commands via headset)
* Bluetooth: Bluetooth settings do not allow connection of headset as just a phone headset or just a stereo headphone (A2DP) set.
* YouTube videos embedded in Facebook/IE cannot be played [PLEASE SEE the workaround here (thanks to theOne):
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=21

* Emails: No way to save a picture included in an email (if the pic is included and not attached)
* Emails: Videos (even short ones) cannot be sent via Email

* Absence of scrubbing controls in the Zune player
* Zune does not allow the user to create and save playlists on the device

* Marketplace: When you browse the application list, check one app then go back, often it will bring you back to the very top of the list

* IE Browser: No address bar in landscape mode

* Bing: Vocal and local search not available in most European countries
* Bing: Absence of Bing Images, strangely left out
* Zune/podcasts: Zune does not allow to add or update podcasts directly from the phone

* No way to silence text message alerts when using headphones
Also, ich schaue vorwärts für einen Update. Aber, wie gesagt, das meiste habe ich noch nie gesehen.
