The Characteristics of Window Phones


I guess windows phones may be the next generation cell phones, so I want to share something about the characteristics of window phones.

The main characteristic of windows phones
Enhanced Windows Live experience, including the latest source of subscription, and the Windows Live photo sharing across major social networking sites.

Better email experience on the phone the direct management of multiple accounts through Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile office suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other components.

Windows Live Media Manager synchronize files on the phone using Windows Media Player to play media files.

Redesigned Internet Explorer mobile browser does not support the Adobe Flash Lite.

Windows Phone SMS function integrated Live Messenger (commonly known as MSN).

Windows Marketplace for Mobile and online backup service, Microsoft My Phone, App Store service has also been open simultaneously, which provides a variety of customization services, such as the theme.

Dynamic magnets
Live Tile is a new concept in WP, this is Microsoft's Metro concept has been suspended with Microsoft Kin is very similar. Metro is the function of the rectangular graphical interface combo box is a signature design of the Zune. Metro UI to give users a glance and go Metro UI personality dynamic brick (Live Tile) experience. Even WP7 is in Idle or Lock mode, still support the Tile update. Mango in the application can support more than one of the Live the Tiles. Mango update and expansion capabilities of the Live Tiles will be more obvious, Deep Linking both can be used in Live Tiles can also be used in Toast notice. Live Tile only supports portrait layout, which is the phone to horizontal, the direction of the Live Tiles will not change.

Metro UI is an interface display technology, and Apple iOS, Google's Android interface the biggest difference is: the latter two are to apply as the main rendering objects, while the Metro interface to emphasize that the information itself, rather than the redundant interface elements. Display function of the next part of the interface elements on the main function is to prompt the user "here for more information. In visual effects, which contribute to the formation of an immersive feel.

The interface concept was first applied to the Windows Phone system is now also introduction of Windows8 operating system. (It can be the best windows phones)

Chinese input method
Windows Phone Chinese input method can be said that so far the most comfortable of the major smartphone operating system. First of all, it inherits the adaptive capacity of the English soft keyboard habits based on user input, automatically adjusts the touch to identify the location. Your typing if total left all key touch position is moved slightly to the left point, and vice versa. Comes with a rich vocabulary in the mobile phone input method is also rare. Network buzzwords such as "to force mud horse bully real horse, yikes, red songs, cooking oil, Jocie Kok, bare official founding of Albert," and so on are all in the column, common brands such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Beijing Ke Long, Jingdong, Dazhong, Gome Google "and so on are also readily available, and even more dialects of, for example, enter" nxp "" Mother Xi horses. It is worth mentioning is that the system comes with Chinese input method, you do not need to enter anything you can select the "good", "ah," and "you" and "I", "" some of the most commonly used short reply, you can improve your typing efficiency in every detail. Finally, the input method Full keyboard, squared, handwriting and other three modes are available. It should be noted is the input method so far, no stroke mode, which is a slight inconvenience for some customary stroke input.

Contacts (People Hub)
People Hub is called "contacts", but its basic function is equivalent to the "Contacts" in the traditional sense, but the enhancements a few times with various social networking updates, real-time cloud synchronization. There was a slight change in the mango inside Peo ple Hub of the Home tile. Before its live tile is divided into nine pieces, which turns to show the contact picture. Mango which is introduced in a large head, accounting for four small squares so that each contact has a full opportunity to show their Second is the contacts groups introduced. In addition to the already mentioned features, grouped in user-friendly is also worth mentioning. Family (family) packet that comes with, which is empty by default, and automatically all the same surname with you, we recommend removal of contacts to join the group. Significance of this function is not very large, for example, like relatives of the wife, wife's mother, uncle, not love, of course, the unless Xiankang just the same surname. System to provide users with the convenience of a little more than earn a little.

Market (Marketplace)
Similar to the iOS in the Marketplace where to download an application and return immediately to the application list interface (if you download the game jump to the Xbox Live interface), immediately inside the Display icon, the following is the download progress. Previous progress bar only the download reaches 100%, into the long "Installing" stage, and other tips. Download and install each half to 50 percent when the download is complete, 100% installed. Also Microsoft applications store for Windows Phone system phone user to provide some mobile phone manufacturers proprietary applications, these applications, only you and you use this brand of mobile phone users have, and others can not use! Nokia and Microsoft, in order to further promote the development of Windows Phone platform for mobile phones can be described best. Nokia has the world's leading interactive entertainment software company EA cooperation, introduce a variety of popular game on Windows Phone platform. Microsoft and Nokia inject $ 24 million for the new Windows Phone application development.
Zune sync

Zune software like iOS users desktop client management software iTunes, as a Windows Ph one phone with the desktop client management software, users can Zune for Windows Phone mobile phone to install the latest system update, download applications and games, as well as management and synchronize music, video and picture content. Zune is also an interface elegant, powerful desktop-side media playback system, and has many media player software does not have a picture slideshow function, users can use the Zune unified management of multimedia files of the PC side. Windows Phone 8 will cancel the Zune desktop client in favor of Windows Phone desktop synchronization applications, Microsoft said the Zune music will be the Xbox Music in the form of quickly in Windows 8, WP mobile phone platform, Xbox launch.

Software Management
Windows Phone all applications installed the first letter of the classification. Each class in front of a large letter, click exhaled full-screen alphabet, select a letter to jump to the corresponding group, hold much stuff, looking for an application can click on three or four times. At present, we found that grouping the letters of view is based on the number of installed applications automatically appear. If you installed only ten to twenty applications, the application list is the same as before, nothing special, scroll up and down looking for, anyway, do not bother. Once the application is more than a certain number will automatically activate the grouping view. In addition to the outside of convenience, this view there is a more humane highlights. Somewhat similar system does not support the language were all thrown into the bottom of the "Z" group. WP7 inside "Z" is followed by a group of signs is the Earth, said "other languages". The application of pure Chinese name of the property in there.

Language Support
Released in February 2010, Windows Phone supports only five languages: English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Windows Phone Marketplace allows the purchase and sale of applications: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States in 17 countries and regions.

Microsoft in the issuance of this operating system, the main target is the general consumer market, rather than the previous version aimed at the enterprise market. It was first released in Europe, Singapore and Australia on October 21, 2010, and is followed on November 8, the same year in the United States and Canada, in Mexico on November 24 issue. Asia is expected to issue the first quarter of 2011. Windows Phone, Microsoft will apply the use of interface design language called "Metro" (has been used in the Zune), and Microsoft and other third-party software integrated into the operating system to strictly control the operation its hardware.

Now with the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) update already supports Chinese, including 35 languages. The next version of Windows Phone7.5 (Tango) will support 125 languages.

The History of Windows Phones


Windows phones as a new generation cell phone, we may enjoy the moment when we hold it, but do you know the history of Windows Phones? Are you curious about it?

As early as in 2004, Microsoft began to plan codenamed "Photon" and develop Windows Mobile as a major release update, but progress is slow, and finally the whole project was canceled.

Until 2008, Microsoft re-organize the Windows Mobile team and renamed Windows Phone, and continue to develop a new mobile operating system. The original plan it's the official version was released in 2009, but many aspects of the delay to make Microsoft's decision to use Windows Mobile 6.5 to the transition. Windows Phone R & D overnight. One of the consequences is that the old Windows Mobile application not work correctly in Windows Phone system. Larry Lieberman (Larry Lieberman), a mobile operating system in Microsoft's product manager, said: "If we had more time and resources, perhaps we can do to improve its backward compatibility." Lieberman pointed out that Microsoft had tried to wait and see the mobile phone market with a new perspective and pay more attention to the use of end-users (End-user) experience, rather than as in the past to focus on the intranet. Windows Phone development department, vice president Terry Myerson (Terry Myerson) said: "In order to borrow not to use the stylus to shift the capacitance-type touch screen, and other hardware changes to improve the Windows Phone system user experience, we have to break the Windows Mobile 6.5 application compatibility. "

In February 2010, Microsoft formally to show the Windows Phone operating system. In October 2010, Microsoft officially released Windows Phone smartphone operating system, the first version of Windows Phone 7, referred to as of WP7, and hardware devices based on this platform by the end of 2010. The major manufacturers: Nokia, Samsung, HTC, which announced the Windows Mobile series completely out of the phone operating system market. Brand new WP7 completely give up the WM5 Preview 6X user interface, and the program is not compatible with each other, and Microsoft has completely re-code and visual of the entire system, but because of its worry about the continuity of mobile products and the overall brand, the The name of WP7 ". This version improves the original user interface, multi-touch features, and motion sensor capabilities, several companies have introduced a touch phone for Windows Phone system. Windows Phone 7 in February 16, 2010, changed its name to "Windows Phone 7 Series", subsequently canceled on April 2 "Series", and changed back to "Windows Phone 7".

September 27, 2011, Microsoft released a major update to Windows Phone system version of Windows Phone 7.5 "for the first time to support the Chinese. Windows Phone7.5 is an upgraded version of the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 on the basis of substantial optimization to improve, which contains the fixes and new features of many systems, including Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, including 17 kinds of new language.

June 21, 2012, Microsoft held a conference in San Francisco, USA officially released the new operating system Windows Phone 8 (hereinafter referred to WP8). Windows Phone 8 to give up the WinCE kernel, switch to the same NT kernel with Windows 8. However, because the kernel changes, WP8 will not support the current the WP7.5 system phone upgrade, and now the the WP7.5 phone can only upgrade to WP7.8 system. Microsoft officially confirmed the Windows Phone will be listed in the fall.

After we have a comprehensive understanding about the history of Windows Phones, we are able to make full use of our cell phones better. And if you are interested in Windows Phones or other consumer electronics, please read other articles in my blog. (Best Windows Phones)

What’s the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0?


Last article, we know that Windows Phones can’t upgrade to WP8.0, so what’s the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0?

In fact, so far, Microsoft has just announced a small part of functions about the Windows Phone 8, more features will be announced later. However, according to the available information, the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0 is mainly reflected in the following ten points.

1. Windows CE and Windows NT

The difference of kernel can be said the most fundamental difference of these two versions, WP7.8 is the Windows CE kernel, but the WP8.0 is the Windows NT kernel. WP7.8 by using the Windows CE kernel ensure the smooth operation of the phone system, but can not manage a higher standard hardware and software platforms, and WP8.0 will support multi-core processors, more powerful computing capability .

2. IE 9 and the IE 10

WP8.0 use the browser is IE version 10, WP7.8 is still for the IE 9. Compared to IE WP7.8, WP8.0 10 used with the desktop version of the HTML rendering and JavaScript performance boost four times the HTML 5 performance improvements of 2 times.

3. Skype

I think many people are aware of Skype, which is an online real-time voice communication tool that can provide free high-definition voice conversations with other users, in the last year Microsoft acquired Skype for $ 8.5 billion. For the difference between WP7.8 and WP8 is WP7.8 Skype features as a separate application requires a separate download, and Microsoft sucked Skype integrated into WP8 system, the user calls over the Internet just like a regular telephone via Skype in general,

4. RCS-e (the carrier's data service side)

RCS-e function allows the operators add some custom data services in "contacts" of the mobile phone, such as VOIP. VOIP phone can direct dial from the telephone dial-up interface of Windows Phone. The feature same with Skype, the WP7.8 belongs to a separate application, WP8 is fully integrated into the phone system.

5. DataSmart (data flow view software)

This function is used to allow the user to monitor data, like the Skype and RCS-e, WP8.0 integrated this function into the system, but WP7.8 is downloaded as a separate procedure.



6. Voice Command

Though WP7.8 and WP8.0 also support the same voice command features, and procedures for dialogue, but the WP8.0 voice command feature will bring more to upgrade, that it means the voice command of the WP8.0 will have more many choices.

7. Voice Search

Same with the voice commands, voice search in the WP8.0 version will also be upgraded, but will also bring enhanced television recognition function, the function of this is before we do not know, but from a naming point of view, this feature should be navigation for user through the voice of television programs.

8. Cloud Services

Cloud services are also the main push of a feature in smart phones nearly two years. WP7.8 above, cloud services can only Office OneNote, 356 and other synchronization to the cloud, and WP8.0 function of the cloud can be all data synchronized to the cloud.

9, Visual Voice Mail

The WP7.8 only supports the visual voice mail in some countries, while the WP are supported in all countries.

10. OTA Automatic Update

WP7.8 does not support OTA automatic update feature will only push the update notice. WP8 is to upgrade the OTA functionality to support the mobile phone automatically updated.

The Summary of the difference between Windows Phone 7.8 and 8.0: in fact, blows the hardware aspects, WP8 and WP7.8, have many differences in the functional experience, but from the information available, these differences are not very affect our daily lives. But these are not the focus, I want to say: compared to Apple iOS and Google Android smart platform promote the localization process vigorously; Microsoft has a tough way to go.

What Should We Do—Windows Phones Can’t Upgrate to WP8?

Compete with Android and iOS intelligence platform, Microsoft launched Windows Phone with fresh Metro interface to the homogenization of the phone UI bring about some changes, with a series of avant-garde experience in desktop customization, icons, drag, slide control, which approbated by many mobile phone users. And associated with Nokia, it would guarantee the market share of Windows Phone effectively.


However, in the recently, Microsoft Developer Summit, Microsoft also made an important decision, announced that existing cell phone will not be able to upgrade to the Windows Phone 8 system, which gives Nokia the "relatives" a little trouble . This means that the first generation models of Samsung and the second-generation Nokia Lumia 800 models will all have been to give up.

Although this approach of Microsoft Windows Phone make users feel disappointed, even a bit cruel, but that does not mean that Microsoft has abandoned the existing Windows Phone devices completely. As compensation, Microsoft provides the service that all current WP7.5 phone upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8 system.

This slight "comfort" decision of the measures, also attracted the curious eyes of a lot of Windows Phone mobile phone users.

How do you think about windows phone 7.5 cannot upgrade to WP8?
