[Windows Phone 7 General] the fight:
I just got the notification while trying to sync an episode of RJ Berger. It's Pre-Nodo.

Co-incidentally, I spoke to T-Mobile today and asked about the updates and they said that there's an update scheduled to take place tomorrow. I guess she mean't No-Do. I'm in NYC, btw.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Hmm, I've recieved both today but I'm in texas... C&P works surprisingly well... the real fix though is the speed... it's an epic increase...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
Damn, I've been checking all day for it:D I'm in actually right here in Austin with you (off W. Parmer). Good to see another HD7 user in Austin for sure. I wonder, I flashed the Telstra rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001019 a few weeks ago, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I'm not sure as to what needs to be identified by the phone itself in order for Zune to know what region or carrier and such you're in order for the update to be pushed. As well, I know it's staggered, so it could just not be my time yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stragox:
Were you able to check if the pink camera issue is fixed or not? (for the HD7)

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Still pink as ever... and I think the telsra rom will slow it down...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The speed issues on the devices was never the fault of the devices or the SD cards. Microsoft had to change the memory management in WP7 to speed it up. That was the culprit.

And yea, even though I didn't get a pop-up, I just plugged my phone into my computer and Zune is telling me that I have a Feb 2011 update...

I've never had any pink tint in the camera, though (that's a problem from back with the HD2 as well... wouldn't be surprised if the camera they used is just terrible).
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
That doesnt explain why the DVP was always notably faster than the HD7...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
You think so? I guess I'm going to flash back to stock as I just asked my friend to connect his phone to Zune to see if there was an update and there was. As well, I'm waiting for my brother to check.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Well worth it and you can keep it unlocked but yeah, it's still pinkish...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Did you replace the stock DVP SD Card with a higher class card. While WP7 is mostly Random Access sensitive for reliability and compatibility, higher class cards will result in higher performance because they have have better throughput in Read/Wright operations... Caching data, etc. all just work better on the faster cards (don't think OEMs should be putting anything less than class 6 in these phones, IMO).

And yea, this was Pre-NoDo. Didn't get anything after it was done updating, which only took like 4 minutes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Also, I think people with pink tinted cameras should send their phones back. Don't think any software update can fix that completely and I've never seen a pink tinted picture on my phone - I've taken about 200 pictures since I've gotten it in various lightings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Really the pink tint won't show unless you take a picture of a white wall.

Also, no. The DVP I'm testing on is pure factory but apps and other things always loaded faster on it. Now that Nodo is out the gap is smaller but the DVP is still clearly ahead.

I don't know why his startup is so slow but as for the game I get a similar result... not huge but there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
R J Berger is so effin funny! :D

Give it time everyone wll get the updates. Nodo is a nice improvement particularly the marketplace bug is no more :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
Alright. Maybe you convinced me. My buddy just got the first update so far though actually, so maybe the Nodo will come tomorrow?
[Windows Phone 7 General] acidburst:
how do you flash to a restock image of tmobile usa for htc hd7? i changed a string for mobile carrier (cant undo it) and wonder if this would help. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
Flash this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960904. And it should default everything back to stock. Why can't you undo the string though?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schlubahaus:
Hi everyone!

First of all thanks to all the contributers to this forum. It really is a humongous bible of information!

To dive right in: I have a HTC desire Z phone and I've had it rooted for a while but I am wanting to unroot it and get it back to stock (like how it was before I started). The problem is the thread I found on doing this is for the T-mobile ROM (G2 version) and not for the 1.34 version that I initially had before I rooted (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835971). I looked everywhere on the dev forum but everyone seems to have the t-mob version. My question is, can anyone tell me what I have to change in this guide to go back to 1.34?

The Remove permanent root topic for G2 has 2 steps:

1. The stock rooted pre-OTA, Can I just flash the PC10IMG.zip from 1.34 instead of the tmous one?

2. The stock factory bootloader/etc. download link on the topic is again for the the tmobile G2. Where can I find the recovery image for 1.34 (European DZ)?

Finally, when I change the version number with the hex editor; do I simply change that to 1.34..... instead of the 1.19 in the Tutorial?

Any help would be much appreciated =)

Cheers!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotchguy:
Hello XDA,

I just received my Gtab this morning (a day early!). I quick plug it in and turn it on to see a dead/stuck pixel on the top right of the screen on the status bar.

No, no, I am not a tech-newb. I have rubbed several stuck pixels out of panels before. I have bought 3 refurb hp2465s and two of the three needed a little love. With help from some stuck pixel videos and some massaging they look pretty sharp. This leads me to the point. From my experience i have been able to identify the difference between stuck and dead pixels. This time around I cannot truly tell:

-Said pixel looks just fine in a WHITE background, it blends in

-In black it looks RED

-In most other backgrounds it looks GREY

Any suggestion or hints would be appreciated.

Btw, I haven't checked with woot yet, but I am pretty sure there will be nothing they can do. I will contact Viewsonic tomorrow and see what they suggest or if they will replace it.

*Update - 04/02/2011*

As of mid-day my new tablet was delivered via FedEx just under 3 days of contact by Woot. I never had to formally request an RMA, 100% painless. I charged the new tablet while at work, upon returning there were no dead pixels to be found. I am content.

To those interested, I was somewhat disappointed with the build quality of the Gtablet and almost had Woot give me a full refund. If I wasn't going to Scotland in May and needed a tablet/netbook for the flight, I probably would have took the refund route. To my delight and surprise, I found the replacement Tablet to be beyond superior to the original with the dead pixel:

1) The side bezel lines up better with each half not causing an irritating excursion.

2) The webcam lens is centered in the hole - not shifted to the side.

3) This one could be my imagination, but I am pretty sure the viewing angles on the tablet's screen are significantly better. If the original was a refurb sold as a new tablet, then this panel is of a high quality. (Otherwise the panel was just install right-side-up as some threads have hinted)

I am now 100% satisfied with this purchase. Now to wait for my travel sized mechanical keyboard to arrive, and a final decsion on my first ROM to try. Any suggestions?!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Apple has a dead pixel policy - on the iPad, it's three. Not sure what Woot! / Viewsonic will do, but you might want to call Viewsonic. They might want you to do an RMA.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkrift:
arent ipads pixels like a quarter of the size? i know ipod touch pixels are small as hell and would be nearly impossible to see if just one was out without putting the thing to your face
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzt:
The iPad2's resolution is 1024x768. The pixel density is very close to the gtab's.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkrift:
wow, isnt that almost the same as the iphone 4's res? i thought they were unusually high res
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LowSky:
resolution and pixels are two different things. if they were the same a 42"1080P tv would look horrible compared to a 24" 1080P tv
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me4tj:
Same thing happened to me!!!

Maybe Woot got a deal on these tablets with a dead pixel? I'm trying to send it back ASAP.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotchguy:
Mine didn't look repackaged at all. Everything was in top notch condition packaging wise. There were no fingerprints or scuffs/marks that would indicate anyone would have previously RMA'd this device. If viewsonic packaged these in a seaperate bundle to sell to an online retailer such as woot, I would consider Viewsonic pretty shady.

As I said, I will contact viewsonic and see if they will make right by this. I have been nose deep in forum posts since my woot purchase and I haven't seen much in the way of dead/stuck pixels on a Gtab.. yet.

As a last ditch effort I might need a tutorial for disassembly. Maybe I can massage this stuck pixel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrishaw:
woot listed them as "New", not "Refurbished" (obwoot: rox0rz!)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmm5157:
FWIW, I had a problem with an Archos 504 MP I bought from WOOT in 2007. The item was brand new and had a defective display. I e-mailed Woot's customer service and they sent me a new one before I even mailed back the original to them. Their customer service is fantastic, or at least was in that case.

Definitely contact Woot first before going to Viewsonic.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotchguy:
Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to emailing Woot the second I sit down for "lunch".
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambo989:
i would google it some...

i bet there is an easy fix... i thought i saw something on lifehacker about rubbing it out ....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBShah:
Wooter here. Just got home and to my dismay a nice dead pixel on the top left. Sucks.

Just emailed Woot. Hopefully the replacement comes soon.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustMeToo:
I hope it's not symptomatic to the wooter tablets. It may be that Woot got a deal on them because they are second grade.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BergyD:
same thing here, trying to fix it first.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxtrot5:
Same here. Two STUCK pixels, bottom left and near center
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.gone:
Dead Pixel

Sadly, I also have a dead pixel on the bottom left of my tab. I did the over the air update but it made no difference. I am reluctant to do any modding in case I have to send it back. I just have issue with something "new" having a dead pixel. It distracts/bothers me. Thanks to all for sharing their experiences so far. I wonder how many others will have this issue.

---EDIT---

Well, Woot is hands down the least painful RMA I have ever done next to newegg. I am super impressed. They have a customer for life.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotchguy:
*Update

Good news! Contacted Woot and posted in their forum for the Gtab, and I got a response in less than a day. Woot is going to replace the tablet with one dead pixel and cover a shipping label. I've had plenty of online purchase that lead to an RMA.. this was hands down the least painful. I am impressed by Woot.

I will post and update when fully resovled. At that point I can finally root and install a ROM.

On a side note, viewsonic was a pain. I don't plan on buying anything viewsonic in the future.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spapadoc:
I bought my gtab from woot as well ..

Ok .. After the first day of playing with my new tablet .. I noticed a dead pixel as well .. Mine is about a 3/4 way up all the way to the right on the very end .. I was thinking, is it worth my time to go through all the bull to send it back and wait for another one.. or just put a nice white background image as my background so I don't see it .. I think I'm just going to deal with it because its not "that" noticeable, the fact that I know its there is the only thing that makes me crazy! .. I can always sell it anyway and nobody would notice unless I pointed it out. Another reason why I don't want to get a new one is because I spent hours rooting and installing a new rom and it would be a waste of my time to do it all over again .. haha
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintre:
Yep, same thing here. I got on the Woot deal as well. Have a dead pixel about 1/2" down in the middle, horrible place for it.

Just emailed Woot, hopefully they will do the same for me.

***Update***

I have to give it to Woot. Within an hour of my email to them they have sent an RMA and will ship me a replacement before I send mine back.

Also in reading their forums on this deal it seems that some people did in fact get what seems to be either returned or shelf models from Staples. Woot seems to be working hard to get this corrected.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAnswerMVP2001:
Great... I bought one from Woot but haven't opened it yet, now I'm about to because the one I purchased from Amazon a few days prior to buying on Woot has incurred a dead pixel. It would be my bad luck that the Woot one has a dead pixel too!

Edit: Opened up the Woot one and found about 4 dead (black) pixels. The Amazon one was perfect and what I think is a stuck one just showed up today. Woot obviously got a defective batch, anyone got a replacement from Woot that was okay?
[Vibrant General] Azure100:
Hi guys,

One simple Qs, I am using Google Maps, How do i keep the screen turned on while navgating in the maps. The screen will turn off at a usual of 30sec even when i have the gps fix in map and navigating the way.

Any answers other than just changing the time off settings will be great :D
[Vibrant General] chui101:
Are you in navigation mode (where it reads directions to you and such)? It shouldn't turn off when you're navigating. Mine times out when I'm in the map mode but not when navigating.
[Vibrant General] dpaul007:
^^^Yup

Make sure you are in the Navigation app, not Google Maps.
[Vibrant General] Azure100:
Nah i am not in the Navigation Mode, I simply use the google maps. Is there any way to stop it from turning off in the while in the Google maps ? :D
[Vibrant General] chui101:
Not really, no.

If you have it plugged in while you have it in maps, you can set it to not turn off the screen when plugged in in the developer settings.
[LG Optimus 2x] DJ Palmis:
Hi,

I needed to read/do something with my sd card in my PC.

So I unmounted SD from LG O2X, I formatted SD (with O2X) and I went far from O2X (leaving O2x on).

I had about 30% of battery.

After very short time (10-15 min.s) I comed back and I heard an alarm on O2X:Low battery!

3%!!!!

On notification bar there was a message like "Put an SD Card"..

I suddendly shut down and now I'm charging it..

What happened?

Did I make a mistake?

Maybe there is something wrong with SD driver or it is a normal behavior on Android? Maybe It does not support Hot swap?

I can't understand! :(
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
If I read the manual correctly, you must switch the O2X off when placing\removing the microSD card.
[LG Optimus 2x] Moedot7:
Maybe because you just unplugged it, you caused it to do a repetative cyclic redundancy check.

???
[LG Optimus 2x] DJ Palmis:
But I umounted it!

But.. LGmaniac2003 is right: Manual says to turn off. So: my fault.

Well.. It's a little bit strange but i learned a new thing!

Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] zarras:
sounds kinda odd. Can you do exactly the same again? and just monitor battery behavior, at least u'll be sure if that is causing the battery drain
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
That is retarded.... if you have to turn it off LG should have removed then unmount button in the software.

I expect buttons to do what they say they do,
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Is better than having no SD-Card slot at all ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
i agree with gensplejs if so, it does not make any sense at all the unmount button :S
[LG Optimus 2x] DJ Palmis:
You'll right.. But battery was very HOT! It has never been so hot!

So, sorry, but I would not damage my battery.

If, in future, I will need to use SD in PC I will test that (It is a good thing to do!).

In the meanwhile maybe I found what went wrong.

As I sayd: I unmounted it.. And that is safe (I'm quite sure).

THEN I formatted it!

When It finished I was in a hurry, I was distracted..

SO, MAYBE SD was MOUNTED again!!!

And that was my error: I pulled SD out!

So you CAN (IMO) unmount and take it out!

It is safe..

Well They could use a GPIO to detect card insert.. But they had to save space/power.. :)

Maybe that is the reason why you "have" to power off O2X to swap SD!

[General Questions and Answers] jamesc116:
Hello all.

I have a Evo Shift that has been flashed to METROPCS, and has 90% of its features working. (No 4G- No voicemail notification)

I'm wanting to try out some of the custom ROM's that are starting to show up, but this is my first Android phone and I'm not quite sure if the carrier settings would be affected or not.

My prior phone was the "touch pro" , and I was very familiar with all the settings that were required to get MetroPCS working on it.

But, I haven't found any information on setting up Metro on an Android based phone, so I'd be completely unable to get it functioning correctly - IF something was changed.

I've already applied the Perm-root, and have titanium backup installed along w/Rom manager.

Any and all info about this would be greatly apprecieted, and will hopefully prevent me from making any costly errors.

Thanks - -- REALLY, I mean it!

Very excited that i just got my NoDo update.

But already im seeing lag at the start screen, scrolling down and up is not as smooth as before.

Has anyone with NoDo experienced this?

nops no such issue here on an omnia 7

Perform a hard reset, did it on my Focus (with NoDo) and it seems better.

[Nexus S Accessories] Blitzpwnage:
the sprint nexus s 4g is a credit cards thickness larger than the t mobile nexus s. do you think compatible cases will work for the nexus s 4g?
[Nexus S Accessories] hugo87:
Would also like to know this but I don't think we will know until the phone is released and someone tries it.
[Nexus S Accessories] booyakasha:
i can put a credit card behind my nexus and it still fits in its case....

:p
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
I will have to say that tight fit cases won't work like the Ringke case (it doesn't fit the i9023 well). The Amzer silicone case might fit since it's pretty "stretchy," but the S shaped case probably won't fit.
[Nexus S Accessories] jumaaneface:
the s shape case fits fine (about as snug as i9020 with zagg on it) also the casemate case fits fine. its really not that much thicker
[Nexus S Accessories] Blitzpwnage:
I'm looking at trident case. They are a fairly snug fit. I'll just have to try it out lol
[Nexus S Accessories] glmrckr:
I have problems fitting my full-body Ghost-Armored Nexus S into molded cases so I'd assume a phone that was a full credit card thicker would have problems too.
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
Okay, I was just going by what someone said about the i9023 and Ringke case. Although even if it is a snug fit on the i9020, I wouldn't really recommend it to someone unless someone else said it was okay. Btw, were you talking about the i9023 or the Sprint's version? Don't want to confuse anyone else and I was a bit confused of which version you were talking about. Just wanted to make sure. :)

Also:

EDIT 2011 08 13: I have since ordered a Black Battery Cover to match it. However, I still can't find a Black "8.0 Xenon" label and a Black little rubber from the top left.

Background info:

Ok, so my XT720 is really beat up right now, and I'm looking into replacing the whole housing of my phone.

I bought these:

Front and back housing

Battery cover

(Yes, so the back housing is black and the battery cover is blue, I plan on vinyl dying it)

But I haven't been able to find any guide on disassembly and assembly...

Has anyone tried?
[Milestone XT720 General] cdstewart:
Hmm, you may run into some issues, that is for the xt701 which as far as I know has no HDMI out.

So the housing probably will not either
[Milestone XT720 General] Hahutzy:
I checked just now, it actually does have the HDMI out port.
[Milestone XT720 General] Brian5475E:
The XT701 case will not fit the XT720. I read somewhere else, someone ordered this and tried. Will not fit. No HDMI port on the 701 and the USB port is on the other side up by the power button.

Why not use the correct case? http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-milestone-xt720-housing-p-10055.html
