[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TonyCubed:
He's talking about how Windows 8 is going to use a metro based UI which is tailored towards tablets, also, Windows 8 will allow for applications from WP7 to run on tablets and Windows 8 itself via AppX. Windows 8 is coming to ARM based devices, but again, I think that will be towards tablets and not towards normal consumer based Windows, the reason for this is because of application compatibility, games etc.

Essentially games that we run today on Windows wouldn't work on a ARM based device, not without emulation with ARM wouldn't be able to reproduce without hitting major speed problems.

People think that Windows 8 is going to have a major UI overhaul where the metro interface is going to be the main one, it isn't and it won't. ARM is something Microsoft can work with for low powered devices i.e. tablets, phones and so on, it isn't a viable processor to switch to because while it has good performance vs power ratio, it doesn't have performance good performance compared to x86, even though ARM is more efficient, speed wise, it's very far behind.

it's windows 8, not windows phone 8

so obviously it won't be the same as wp7 :)

and you can change the colors of wp7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
windows 8 will share some similarities with WP7 but nothing major, the desktop will still be much the same as is now, but with laptop and tablet intigration coming along it makes sence to keep a few things similar, end users, and by that i mean every day Joes, will love the fact that all MS products will be intigrated.

features they recognise on one platform will encurrage them to purchase other MS platforms.

ill bet you all now that soon MS will have common OS versions across Desktop, tablet laptop and phones.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3087:
so i just downgraded and root my sisters G1

what can i install safely because the rom selection is not as straightforward as my G2 or other newer phones that can use clockworkmod

Firm 1.0

Baseband 62.33.20.08h_1.22.12.29

Kernel 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0

Build TC4-RC29 115247

secondly on my G2 i can just open clockwork and select the rom to write.

do i just do the same with the G1 HTC recovery menu, update from sdcard?

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Personnally I would stay away from clockworkmod for G1 for recovery (I had a bad experiece with my G1 and can't even get into the recovery mode). But that is up to you if you wants to use it. I would go with Mannually using Amon RA and flash the ROM that you like.

As far as the ROM there are some out there that seem to be good for G1.

The best one so far that I like. are the following.

SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 (look at my sig for the Download site) [Mine choice]

Also Gingerbread series (ezGingerbread and Gingerbread Yoshi)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3087:
I attempted to install COS-DS-full Gingerbread latest

I ran into a status 7 error(SPL not a compatible version)

So when reading on updating the SPL I was reading without an HBOOT update you could brick

so what are the necessary files i need to update before updating the SPL and then which is the correct SPL
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
To my knowlegge these are the combo you'll want to use. Radio: 2.22.27.08 and SPL: 1.33.0013d

But I could be wrong.

I have tons laying around from various other devices, any Micro USB should do. If you don't have any from other devices then any place like radio shack, office max/depot, staples, microcenter, bestbuy.... should carry them, probably even walmart and target in the electronics section. You are looking for a micro USB cable.

You don't need anything fancy(expensive) that's gold plated, high speed, etc... Just try to find something that looks a little less flimsy than the one Samsung gave us.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAYNO20:
How would I not clear the data? If I install that ROM I just posted its going to get rid of root.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
i wiped data before flashing debloat. Everyone is saying not to but i think clockwork fixed some of its problems with the phone. like the fact that it boots into recovery when you have it turned off and plugged in. mine hasnt done that and this is the first day ive been rooted
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhemke17:
Mine is all jacked up...I have tried reflashing it, erasing, clearing cache, then reflashing recovery...it will not wipe my data at all. I can press wipe data and the only thing reset is my wifi password.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhemke17:
When you flash the rom, it will not automatically wipe data. I have set it to not do that since it put me in a boot loop with that set. Do not flash the rom you posted. That will completely revert you back to stock. My rom is that exact rom just deodexed and rooted with busybox installed. No other modifications made at all.

What exactly should I do to load this ROM though?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhemke17:
Are you rooted already? If not, root your phone first and get s-off...but assuming you have that done and already have a custom recovery (from rom manager), you just flash it via clock work recovery.

I wish T-Mobiles theme chooser would work with the Inspire + Sense.

I know CM7 has it but it would benefit any developer if they implemented it to work with their ROMS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BelacNongaw:
The problem is the theme chooser is aosp while HTC sense rips out so much and is so deep in sense frameworks that its barely even Android anymore.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
I know but if it could be implemented with sense ROMs, it would easily put that ROM ahead of others.

I wonder if it's possible to implement on a ROM running a no-sense script? It's still sense but it could make it easier to implement the framework needed to use theme chooser. I wish a dev would attempt it, aside from the AOSP developers.

I just got CM7 yesterday, the one thing I thought was cool was the way it locked. When you hit the lock button it looks like a old TV screen turning off. I changed my wallpaper and lost that. Does anyone know how to get it back?

That shouldn't have done it, however if you played with spare parts just switch window animation speed back to normal.

I lost it too temporarily when I was playing around in the settings, to get it back just go in to settings(not cm settings)>display>animation and select 'some animations' and then re-select 'all animations' and it should be back, that did it for me.

Ok so i have an interesting problem verizon cant figure out so maybe someone else here has run into it. Im in an extended 4g network but it is here. I have full service -75 or better db and the 4g symbol just constantly switches on and off (and data does the same) I turned off 4g for now, and Im heading to NYC for work tomorrow night so i can test it there. It could be the towers here, could be my phone, could be the sim just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
yeah my phone does this all the time. I had my phone switched out for an issue and both phones before rooting had 0 4G issues, and consistently did 20-30 down, and now do maybe 5-6 and 4G cuts in and out. I am assuming it is because of the PRL.

what PRL do you have? I have 15008. I was going to check our stock demo thunderbolt at work tomorrow and see what it has as it is still much faster than my phone has been after rooting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzio1963:
Just went to VZW store with the idea to swap the phone. When i told them about 4G cutting in and out, they said, VZW is working on software update/patch, and it will be send out "soon". So, there is no need to exchange the phone, because before that update, i would have exactly the same problem with the new one. But, when it is going to be pushed out - that they cannot tell.......so, i decide to call Tech Support, and they told me the exact thing........the wait is the killer.....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spursrchamps2007:
same prl and mine did it rooted and non rooted. 15008 should be stock i think. Ill let yall know how it goes in NYC tomorrow night, if i have steady service the whole time it will point towards individual towers dropping signal.

You might need a new sim card, I had the same problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mispes1:
I have had the same problem with 4g and 3g being inconsistent and constantly swithing back and forth since the network issue last Thursday. It seems to be much better today for some reason that isn't clear to me. I have also noticed that my PRL goes between 1 and 15008 completely at random. My friend just got his t-bolt today and it came with a PRL of 15011 out of the box so I know there is at least one other PRL floating around that may help resolve these issues. All I can really confirm is that I feel your pain and aggravation. I'm going to keep a close eye on my data tomorrow since it magically seemed to work better late today and let you know if I figure anything out as to why mine suddenly seems better. I have to assume that Verizon is sorting out all these issues and is slowly rolling out tower updates but who knows at this point.

Also, I am completely stock and ripinning the stock radio config (no ##778# or other changes).
[Focus General] JETninja:
Samsung Focus (wife has one too) I use it a decent amount during the day, check emails all the time, surf some, read kindle books, BT on my 35m commute home, etc. Batt lasted all day just fine all day. I always charge it overnight with the charger.

10 days ago or so, got up to unplug it from the charger, and for some reason it would not start, it was dead showing the batt symbol. I moved the charger to another plug (first one is fine though) and let it charge all day, and it finally took a charge. But for the following week, it would be dead by Lunch, every day. I googled "Samsung Focus Battery Problem" and found a few peeps on various sites with the same issue. Tried several things to attempt to fix it. (removing battery, plugging phone into charger, re-inserting battery) Nothing helped. I'd have to connect it to my work PC to give it enough charge for the drive home.

Stopped by ATT shop, they agreed to send me a new Batt for free. I was not warm and fuzzy thinking that alone would help, but it was worth a try (it arrived today) before actually replacing the device.

So after a week of frustration, it was on the charger late Saturday and all of Sunday. Monday (yesterday) I take it too work, and its all fine again? By evening it still had 3/4 Battery. Same today. Weird or what!

I'll save the new battery for some future day, but for now the Phone is fine. Weirdness indeed, was it the phone, or OS or what?

Anyone else run into this?

Disabled feedback

I've noticed notible battery drain especially overnight and during the day with the feedback function in the settings section enabled. When it is disabled, my phones battery last forever...ok so it last till the next day at least, I am a heavy user. The funny thing is that when you soft reset the device the feedback automatically enables itself. I don't know if this might explain your situation. It seems like from time to time my battery seems to drain fast and other days it seems like i use the phone for the whole day and barely make a dent in battery life.
[Focus General] JETninja:
Nope, all settings have stayed the same, it does check my 4 email accounts at various times, I use Cellular Data all day, Wifi only at night (home). Habits all the same. It was a wierd bug, as confirmed by others during my search. Just dang happy it fixed itself.
[Focus General] ccm3:
I ran into a similar situation for the first time today. I've had my Samsung Focus for about five months. The phone gets light usage and has been handled carefully (carrying case etc).

Last night I noticed battery level was being reported as about 20% remaining. Normally I would have expected the charge to be at about 50%. I put the unit on charge overnight and this morning the battery meter was still showing about 20% remaining - essentially no change. I moved the charger to another outlet and tried to charge the phone a couple different times. I cycled the phone on and off and tried starting the charging process with the phone off. I also tried charging from a PC USB port. Nothing worked. In fact I started getting a message that the battery power was low, turn off phone to avoid losing data etc.

I checked on the Net for known issues with Samsung Focus battery problems. There were two suggestions that seemed worth trying; one suggestion was to sync with Zune, the other was to reseat the battery. I tried syncing with Zune first. That didn't seem to make any difference. Then I reseated the battery after I had powered the phone off. When I restarted the phone, the battery meter showed the battery as fully charged.

I don't know if it's a hardware, firmware or software issue, but there were enough reported incidences to lead me to believe that there is some sort of battery related issue associated with the Samsung Focus. If I had to venture a guess, I'd guess that it might be a problem with the battery contact design.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
I FOUND IT! Listen up folks there is a bug in the latest CNN app that was released recently.

When you have 1 or more CNN widgets and you click on a story VIA the widget it launches a service called BangoAnalyticsService or something and THIS is keeping the XOOM awake. Very easy to test, if you go into Applications -> Running Services -> CNN and terminate just the Bango service you will see the XOOM sleep immediately.

Good news is that you can launch stories using the CNN app (NOT the widget) and it will not launch this service so XOOM will sleep. From what I can tell at least.

I've already reported this issue but PLEASE can you all do the same.

Here is how.

1. Make sure you have latest CNN app

2. Have at least 1 widget on your homescreen

3. Launch a story from the widget

4. Go back to home

5. Go to Settings->Applications->Running Services

6. Click on CNN (1 process, 2 services)

7. Click on BangoAnalytics or whatever it is and click on "REPORT"

Put a nasty comment in there for good measure too!!

Glad at least I know what it is. More people that complain, the quicker it will be fixed.

Workaround: Logout of CNN app if you're logged in. Now it appears you can use the CNN app (not the widget) and it will not launch the Bango service that is the culprit. Let me know if you see other issues.
