List of features removed in Windows Phone

List of features removed in Windows Phone is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand List of features removed in Windows Phone rather than just read about it. In short: While Windows Phone contains many new features, a number of capabilities and certain programs that were a part of previous versions up to Windows Mobile 6.5 were removed or changed. Until Windows Mobile 6.5, the previous version did always cover the complete feature range of the predecessor version.

Reference excerpt

While Windows Phone contains many new features, a number of capabilities and certain programs that were a part of previous versions up to Windows Mobile 6.5 were removed or changed. Until Windows Mobile 6.5, the previous version did always cover the complete feature range of the predecessor version. The following is a list of features which were present in Windows Mobile 6.5 but were removed in Windows Phone 7.0.

Calling The list of past phone calls is now a single list, and cannot be separated into inbound, outbound or missed calls

Sync Windows Phone does not support USB sync with Microsoft Outlook's Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes as opposed to older versions of Windows Mobile with Desktop ActiveSync. Syncing Contacts and Appointments is done via cloud-based services (Windows Live, Google, or Exchange Server), and no method to sync this information directly with a PC is provided. Third-party software, such as Akruto Sync, provides some of this functionality. A petition to Microsoft was filed to reinstate USB sync for Outlook.

Other Adobe Flash Ability to open .exe files (desktop Windows executeables), such as 7-Zip 32-bit for desktop.

Features subsequently implemented in Windows Phone 7.5 Internet sockets Cut, copy, and paste Partial multitasking for 3rd party apps Connecting to Wi-Fi (wireless) access points with hidden SSID, but without WPA Tethering to a computer Custom ringtones Universal email inbox USSD messages VoIP calling through a separate app

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of features removed in Windows Phone

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of features removed in Windows Phone claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of features removed in Windows Phone before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of features removed in Windows Phone ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of features removed in Windows Phone

In research: List of features removed in Windows Phone appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of features removed in Windows Phone in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of features removed in Windows Phone is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Computing-related lists, Lists of mobile phones, Smartphones, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of features removed in Windows Phone outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
