Official WP7 Unlock Coming Soon - HD7 General

http://www.chevronwp7.com/post/6629433362/announcing-chevronwp7-labs
This is incredible.. finally Microsoft is waking up!
It’s been a while since we posted something. Between fixing state machines and avoiding the paparazzi, we have been busy tinkering with Microsoft behind the scenes.
As you may remember, one of our goals was to make Windows Phone development more accessible. Plans have recently solidified and we can now reveal a solution we’ve been working on.
As announced on the Windows Phone Dev Podcast, we will soon be launching an approved Windows Phone unlocking service as part of ChevronWP7 Labs. This will be available to developers across all skill levels and all regions

Microsoft finally to support him

wait, one has to pay to use the unlocker? Or did I read that all wrong?
EDIT: Nope I read right
The service will require a small fee — currently via PayPal — to offset costs but we assure you it will be more affordable than the App Hub. Those who wish to write and immediately publish apps are recommended to sign up to the App Hub instead.

It is not MS themselves who are making this. It is a developer who is creating this tool and MS is supporting it.
If you cant find it in yourself to support the developer for this awesome tool then stay locked and dont complain.

dev unlocking a phone is hardly a jailbreak. we still cant even run native apps

p2p software like limewire for andriod?

p2p software like limewire for andriod? is this possible i think it is just not avaliable is anyone working on this ? or willing too ?
well theres a photoshop mobile for most phone so who knows if there will be a mobile limewire or ares
i dont see why it wouldnt be possible especially with 3g, but it would probably violate some sort of data service contract agreement that tmobile gives you
its been done on iphone already and windows mobile theres pleanty of software p2p but just not for android iam sure someone will make it soon but i think it will not appear on the andriod market place and t-mobile wont care they just enjoy getting there money every month

There is andtorrent that lets you download torrents
1 - Gnutella sucks
2 - No reason except the obvious to use this, Gnutella isnt a means of legal distribution, BitTorrent can and is actually used for a legal means, fairly often too.
3 - there already are BT clients for android, but AFAIK, none are very good, check out ABTC on the Market.

Create your own app using appinventor

Just learned about this program from engadget.

It sounds really easy and fun to create your own app. I'm trying to think what app I need for myself.

cute. my draw back is the apk's i think of would require something of more complexity. however, i do like the the opportunity to build simple apps.
Perfect!
This is a great gateway to get people into developing.
Snaps for Google.
Will check this out. Thanks for sharing.
Just signed up a couple hrs ago, can't wait to try it out
Sent from my European Vogue using XDA App
I signed up, but it looks like it requires a driver to connect the phone to Windows. Even with the dual mount sd widget the appinventor Windows program wouldn't recognize my Vogue.
Does anybody know how long it takes to receive the download after submitting a request form? I'm very anxious to try this and I filled out the form yesterday
Signed up. Looks amazing, just what a guy with no programming skills needs. Now, how long do we need to wait? That's the main question.
Yeah I signed up two days ago. Hopefully we will receive download links within the next week or so. But this looks perfect for me. I've already done some of this building block programming with vB express. Its easy and fun to mess around with for sure.
Signed up for my Android device. Man, wish they had something like this for WinMo. Better yet, wish they had something like this for PC platforms!!
waiting game
Anyone know how long until we get the invite?
I submitted for an invite a few days ago yet no invite.
I want it NOW! Haha
Mhh, sounds weird, but should work well for standard things
I will stay at .net and objective c
This looks great. Next phone will be Android. I'll keep my HD2 for FpseCE.
ya I signed up, seems like awhile ago, I really want to try this out cant wait hopefully they accept my form thing

After fill out the request form they say couple of weeks, as i know Google it means 2-3 weeks... So next or overnext week it should be there. Depending on how many ppl they want invite and how many have signed on...
So...anybody who has gotten the invite should hook a brother up with the install file...*cough* PM

From reading the site with all the information and such i dont think its something you download, but more of a browser based tool. Not quite sure how that would work... But it did say in the browser. Chrome extension maybe?
And if you watch the video they are doing it from within the browser. So no download. Im assuming that its not open to anyone because the site says to go to the website that we sign up at. So when we start seeing a log in button there, we know were in business.

[APP REQ] 3G Data Counter

Hi to all!
I've already made several searches and I ain't find any APP that show to me, or control my 3G/GPRS Data Usage in my WP7. I think that this would be an awesome APP to those, like me, use a limited internet plan. Other plataforms like iOS, Android and even Symbian already have a bunch of apps with this propose. Any Developer who eventually make an App like these to WP7 will be so much apreciated not only from me, but from a lot of WP7 users with internet plans like mine!
Will any developer offers to make this simple app?
Cheers!
Unfortunately Windows Phone 7 (including Mango) does not include any APIs that would allow an App to access this data. This is why there are no Apps providing you this information.
Perhaps your network operator is providing that information via a WebSite or WebService that an App can tap into (I have seen this done on T-Mobile Germany if I remember correctly) but a generic solution is not possible at the moment.

Hi, thank you for your reply
Unfortunately my operator (Vodafone Portugal) does not provide that kind of service thru WebSite. But I've found some apps in Marketplace that really does that, unfortunately it only works for Spanish Vodafone, and others for Italian Vodafone. And this apps aren't Vodafone apps, they from developers, so how do they did it?

does root void warranty in Wp8

does rooting in windows void warranty ?
Rooting violates warranty in any and every phone...
That aside: there currently is no way of rooting a WP8 device.

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. You can't void you warranty if you cant root your device.....YET..
Here's a silly question, is someone currently working on a root or is all hope given up? Just asking.
Most people working on WP have tended to stay rather quiet until there was something concrete to anounce. But given that they deemed most of the original Lumias unhackable unless they came from the factory with an unlocked Bootloader (as some did due to an error in manufacturing) it is entirely possible they are not working on trying to break Secure Boot.
But in the end: we simply don't know.
No.
No one is working on anything. Fact is, no one is interested.
You pick your poison, work on Lumia or work on a HTC device, but fact is there aren't enough modders/developers with devices to support any effort if there is any to begin with. Each device would require a different method , and the fact this secure boot is so different only adds to the dilemma.

Fact matter is there is now begin to have a interest in WP. But you still look at there user base normal every day people I class WP like iphone yea they jailed break the phone but still most of the users would not have a clue to do that. Unlike android where it is open source and you have developer coming from every direction so it's easy to creak device after another. I love my 8x it's nice not to have that option to flash or unlock bootloader is a phone in the end of the day and that is what I have been looking for all this time

Think of the options. If they make one device and you can have your pick of sense, aosp, or windows which is actually gaining market share. I think the idea is kinda brilliant. Especially if its the same exact device.
How is it considered spreading yourself thin if you're making the same device on multiple carriers anyways?
It would be a great idea to have one device with multiple platform choices. However, it sounds like the Windows device is going to have ddr3 memory so I wonder what else will be different? I could completely see myself switching platforms weekly, it's like getting a new phone, but keeping the same one.

When did this change? I got started in modifying my phone with windows mobile and it was never an issue then. That's when i started on xda and ppcgeeks. ROM development was a different scene and the process was different but windows software was modified hacked and releases for the masses.

Nothing changed. As I said before, it is the same old issue that has always been an issue. Technically most ROM modification stuff going on here is illegal.
A few thoughts:
1 - The difference between us and the HD2 is that the HD2 started with Windows Phone on it. Then, it got an improved Windows Phone 7, but I think they got away with it because the device initially had WP. Then, it got Android. In that order, its fine because Android is open source. Unfortunately, WP is not open source. MeeGo and Tizen are open source, and perhaps could be ported to the One if the development is good enough/popular enough. Never underestimate the power of the developers on this forum: especially when they team up.
2 - They get an SD card slot? UNFAIR!! :crying:
3 - @raptoro07 It says in your sig. that you have 2 HTC Ones. Wanna give one to me? Lol I haven't gotten mine yet--I'm not sure if I'll go with AT&T or Sprint. I really wanna stay with Sprint since I've met a lot of devs on here that have Sprint who I like and I want to have their work on my future devices. But, as long as I'm on a shared plan with my parents, I can't make that decision. This qualifies another :crying: if you ask me.

If you don't mind the ugly logo on the back, the AT&T One is exactly like the Google Play edition/Dev edition (AFAIK). Except, you know, the logo on the back.
Also, Android is open source. Windows is not. That means it's less illegal...
While the actual distribution of full ROMs is technically illegal (you're "stealing" HTC's code), I'm pretty sure you're allowed to modify your own phone, even if it does remove warranty.

Windows is paid ssoftware with a very restrictive license. Cyanogenmod,aosp, linux kernel, and many other projects here are free and have open source licenses that encourage people to modify and distribute the software.

However Sense, Beats, Touchwiz, and other OEM software is not open and therefore redistribution of them and modifications are technically illegal. My point was only to say that it is no different than 90% of what is going on XDA.

If you ask me, neither look like something to write home about. I would've loved it back in 2011 when I went to buy an HTC Arrive. But, then I got an Android, and, yeah I'm pretty much addicted now.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND....
Android could be ported to either of these devices with no real legal uncertainty... It depends which and how many devs buy one.
