I mostly understand what you are saying.

But my next question is how long til a functioning tether? Is it even possible since 3G hotspot is now built in?
[Droid X General] snwagner:
I posted a write-up on how I got wifi tethering to work in GB rooted.

[Droid X General] chucklesjh:
Does not work for me. 3G cuts in and out. I'd also like to avoid using the official app, worries me too much.
[Droid X General] snwagner:
Really? With all the people who have been using it all this time? LOL, we've had the 3G hotspot app hack since the DX first came out. No 1 has reported issues with VZW catching on.
[Droid X General] chucklesjh:
Well, regardless, it doesn't work for me anyway, even with the patch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toothfish:
Besides the C&P and faster apps, there is virtually no other changes with NoDo...

i have no idea what MS are talking about regarding bluetooth, i see no difference before and now, still crappy sound. The same with camera settings (better stability switching from photo to video???).

I guess the most important thing is the stability of the system right now.

Ah well, time to wait for mango :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Market works much better now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
So you haven't actually launched a game, or an app at all yet? Not gone into the Marketplace yet? Marketplace used to be a nightmare, and you needed third party search apps to actually look around...now it is ... SO SMOOTH :'')

And apps launch noticeably faster, and app switching (with back button) as well as apps running after screen lock/unlock are much quicker to load.

There are definitely other unnoticed bug fixes as well. Also, WiFi stores more profiles (still won't allow manual network config though), and some changes to About page in settings...

Overall it is a minor update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toothfish:
yes i mentioned besides the stability and faster apps update, the bluetooth and camera updates were not significant (since MS stated that on their update page so i was expecting at least a little bit of improvement from there.

I was really hoping to start using my bluetooth headset with my Mozart... guess ill have to wait longer then.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
What's the problem with your bluetooth headset?

I'm using mine since November without issues, no use for me to improve anything with NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mister gun:
Now that M$ have put Cut/copy and paste into WP7 can anyone please check and see if you can move calendar entries around like we used to be able to do in Windows Mbile?

I just want to be able to (both) copy or cut and paste a calendar entry to another day. Not the text within an entry, but the whole entry. In my work I usually need to go to a customer's house two or three times. I need to be able to cut or copy an entry and move it. I'm currently stuck on WM6.5 because of this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
in short no. Its not exactly a priority feature. Wouldn't be shocked if it never made it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mister gun:
Far out...thanks. That screws me over in a big way. I literally have no alternative other than carrying a laptop around and moving calendar entries around in Outlook.

Removing this (standard WM feature) makes no sense to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
It was never a matter of removal, WP7 was built from the ground up as an independent OS. Windows Mobile had a ton of functions that WP7 doesn't because for the most part they were completely unnecessary and just bogged down an already fairly laggy OS. I mean honestly, how many times a day do you have to rearrange a number of calendar appointments? I can't see how it could be enough to lug around a laptop everywhere you go...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Perhaps not a priority feature as such, but the thing is - had they implemented CnP correctly we would have been able to copy/cut images, photos, calendar entries et all instead of just plain text.

OS support is already there, what is missing is high-level support in their first-party "apps" and APIs.

They [Microsoft] said that CnP was always on the roadmap for WP7 but pulled from RTM as it wasn't polished enough. IMO what they did was simply to bundle their existing CnP code with some bugfixes and performance tweaks in order to deliver an update in January (which was subsequentially moved to late March). I would be very surprised if there isn't a more polished implementation in WP7.5.

This is where the PR and marketing people lied to you. WP7 is built on the same old Windows CE as WM6.5 (more or less). The OS has been around for a decade in one form or another. WP7 is basically a new GUI.

I would not be surprised to see a convergance of Windows CE and Windows 8 in the future - once Windows proper can run on Arm I see no reason to keep on top of two different codebases. WP8 will, IMO, be running with Windows 8 under the hood.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
how do you know its there in the OS??? This is not an upgrade from 6.5, its a whole new OS.

Do any other OS's offer this feature?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Read my edited post :)

But in short, I know OS support is there because I can copy pretty much any object into the buffer using native code.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
The problems with bluetooth headsets;

1. Random dropouts when listening to music

2. Occasionally the phone drops the connection to the headset entirely and you have to force a disconnect / reconnect manually

3. Headset button longpress does not start voice control

4. Headset microphone cannot be used for voice control

5. Videos do not output their sound to the headset

6. Because of (5), games with video segments cannot be played using a BT headset unless you want to periodically blast people nearby when the videos play

There you go :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] isoman4:
AMEN! This was the main thing I was hoping would be fixed in NODO. I hope a small incremental update will fix this before MANGO...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I too can use the voice control fine, with a long press of the WINDOWS button and not havin a bluetooth headset connected.

But with a bluetooth headset connected, the longpress of the headset doesn't start voice control as you would expect. However you can longpress the WINDOWS button still, and though that starts the voice control software, because it's trying to use the microphone in the bluetooth headset, and that doesn't seem to work, you cannot issue any voice commands. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't disable the microphone in the phone itself.

Basically, if you use a bluetooth headset, you cannot use voice commands, but if you disconnect your headset, you can.

This is not a "Search function limitation", I'm not talking about search, I'm talking about voice commands.

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I do not see any difference.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Market hasn't crashed for me yet... thats a huge difference :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] bla1011:
Actually, you can open the entry and edit it, changing the hour or/and day of event. Then it automatically moves to correct date.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webbstar842:
For Nodo

Not having Marketplace freeze on me every other time I browse on it (requiring a reboot) is NIGHT and DAY!

Much, much faster....

Just a heads up, I did a hard reset after NoDo forced-update, b/c I had lost 3rd Party Live Tile functionality, and I believe that it runs even smoother after the clean-up. Plus, as soon as I synced w/ Zune, it started downloading all the apps I had on it previously...didn't realize that little bonus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Again, mine works just as you've explained that it doesn't... I'm assuming it has something to do with my actual headset being voice controlled as well... But I can activate voice commands from my phone, and use them just fine...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Meh. Must be my headset then. Will try a different one, have a Sony one at home.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Honestly, it might be the Q2 that allows this to work, as it never closes the BT connection with the phone... Even the taps on the keyboard are heard through the headset. Its voice activated, so once you say "Phone Commands" you hear the beep from the device to begin speaking. Not sure how other headsets handle this...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
Previously if you tried to DL a game over 3G and it errored out telling you to connect to WiFi, you had to longpress to bring up the retry option. Now you can just tap "action required" once you're on WiFi and the dl resumes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rbncha:
Hi,

My HD2 was bricked and repaired once using jTag method by a repair center. Now I am using the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. When it heats up, it hangs up frequently when using call functionality. I think it's because of the heat + the wrong radio version or so.

Can anyone suggest me what could be done for this ? Maybe change a stable radio ?

When I boot it into bootloader it says

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lordfreyr:
Yesterday my Milestone dropped the network and wrote "Only emergency calls". On other phones there was maximum signal. After a while the phone logged in to the network, but lost the signal again. I thought something is with the ROM, so I made a factory reset but didn't help. I flashed the correct SBF file (first Éclair, then Froyo), but didn't help. I restored an earlier MOD I used without any problem but didn't work.

I always used the German baseband files with other MODs because my Milestone is German.

The problem is that if I make anything (I mean anything related to the data connection), the GSM signal disappears, sometimes data connection remain with no problem, sometimes it is lost, too, but sometimes it has GSM signal with only EDGE network. If I do nothing, just turn off the screen and do nothing, everything goes back to normal, and the phone has normal data connection with GSM signal, I can make or receive phone calls.

I put in another SIM but the issue was the same.

Can I try something related to software and didn't try yet or this is a hardware failure? And if so, what is the price of a GSM module? I couldn't find it.

MOD: It seems that only the 3G is not working (sometimes HSPA does while 3G phone connection don't), with 2G there isn't any problem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
dial *#*#4636#*#*

Under phone info, try a different network type.

It probably defaults to GSM (auto). It does on mine anyway and it's fine.

But maybe WCDMA preferred, GSM only, or WCDMA only will work better.

It depends on which is screwing up... the WCDMA or the GSM

edit: had the dialpad code wrong... again.. geez
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
Are you sure you have applied the correct baseband?

I would tell to re-apply thru AOR.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mohitrocks:
You could go to settings, wireless and networks and somewhere there there is use only 2g networks and if that is checked, you could try to uncheck it. That is what happened to me before on the froyo mod. Also, you could try turning on airplane mode, then turn it off. Good luck :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lordfreyr:
I always used the German baseband, tried to switch 2G/3G many times, applied the baseband trough OR, applied the RTEU baseband, re-flashed the ROM, the original Éclair, the Froyo, again and again but nothing helped. I gave up I decided to go to the service. Before that on a forum somebody asked something, I gave an answer but I was not 100% sure about it, so I flashed the RTEU Froyo.

And it worked. The 3G, HSPA, 2G, EDGE, phone functions all are working now. My phone is truly German, it has QWERTZ keyboard and the original ROM was the ROM from Deutsche Vodafone (tried that one before, too), it has the logo on its box, and the German baseband files always worked. I don't know what just happened, it's simply working now. Why now... don't know.

How do you do that:

1. Download SPB Shell 3D from internet?? Wich site?? do you have a link??

2. Install it with Apinstaller?? of do you have an other??

3. Open SPB Shell 3D --> SPB Shell is loading --> ERROR: You don't have the good video cart. Then you click on ok button??

4. Then you must be clicking on everything of your device??

Do you have an Galaxy Apollo I5800 or I5801 or Galaxy 3??

The picture is SPB shell 3d v1.0 or SPB shell 3D 5.0??

Whit lestatious 2.0 build 1.7 you can SPB shell worked??

or what dit you have done??
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] unrender:
In fact, Lestatious ROM is a FroYo ROM, so I've android 2.2.

I've done nothing more than just install it.

(You may wait a while for the first launch...)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Markie16:
But if I get the android 2.2 update from kies! than is it also right + lestatious rom?

I had installed the beta version of SPB Shell.

SPB as launcher install --> Waiting --> Then they asked for activate SPB shell --> I said yes --> black screen.

But now I can't go away from that screen :(

Do anyone know how to go away??
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] unrender:
If you want to install Lestatious, it's not necessary to update android 2.2 from Kies because Lestatious is already in 2.2

You just have to flash with the Lestatious ROM.

For your question, if you can't swith on another launcher using the Home button, one solution is to wipe data from the recovery mode (vol+ + vol- + home + power) but you'll lost all your data you've not saved.

The SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 which is in Beta stage works wonderfully in G3. However, the SPB 3D Shell be it 1.01 or 1.03 the latest, runs on the G3, but you get the scrambled text. Until the developer fixes that issue, there is no point if the 3D shell works on your phone or not

[Windows Phone 7 General] genatsvale:
Hello Everyone.

Few weeks ago I gave Nokia one more chance and switched to Nokia E7.

To be honest the software is still the same pain in the ass and I see no big differences for the user between different Symbian versions.

At the same time Hardware is grate and this is the only thing that reminds that once Nokia was a leader on the market of Business Phones.

I would like to ask you guys, for your estimation, if there is any chance that Windows Mobile 7 OS will be suitable with the E7.

I mean if there is no hardware restrictions and problem there should be some chance for such development.

What do you think?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
You will probably see a phone similar in hardware (possibly bigger screen, and more buttons) from Nokia within 9 months to a year that sports Windows Phone 7...However, as of now, all Symbian phones are at a dead end...
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Though there will likely be a similar device sadly that sexy phone likely cant get an OS shift.
[Windows Phone 7 General] genatsvale:
Sad, sad......
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nokia was never the market leader for business phones. Feature phones, sure. Business phones, no. That was pretty much a Palm/RIM/Microsoft Triopoly back in the day. Now it's practically owned by RIM.

Also, while the Hardware on the E7 seems great (the build quality is great, no question there)... Yes, it's great... For a Symbian phone...

The screen is a nice AMOLED, but the resolution is a terrible (and odd) 640 x 360 pixels

It has a 1200 mAh battery

Even if it met the minimum requirements, like the HD2, it would get laughed at by Microsoft, like the HD2... It doesn't have the required buttons and Microsoft is super serious about their buttons. They had button requirements for Windows Mobile as well...

Not to mention that screen resolution. Doesn't Microsoft say WVGA resolution?

I can't believe Nokia is selling those phones at those prices, though. No wonder they're in desperation mode, and it's no surprise that their MeeGo tablet is back in Limbo because of price concerns...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
Not true...

Many business and enterprise users LOVE their E7X series Nokia phones...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nokia was never a leader in the business smartphone market. They were certainly a factor, but they were not a leader.

Many users love their feature phones for business use as well (I know some), that does not make Pantech a leader.

Nokia made most of its profits form feature phones in emergent markets. Low cost feature phones shipped in mass bulks made very cheap by them accepting thin profit margins. They are in trouble now because RIM keeps gaining marketshare with low-cost Curve Smartphones and Android has been pillaging that market with low-cost mid-ranged devices. It's only a few years ago when the market really started gravitating off of feature/dumb phones to smartphones at the pace it is right now...

They were never leaders in the business world.

Nokia is very popular in Europe and Asia so I don't doubt business users there love their E7x Nokia phones. I'm just correcting that mistatement.

For business use (or even consumer use) Nokia E7x phones can't even compare to Curves and Bolds. Not only are the keyboards quite terrible, but they are just worst communications device and RIM just does that form factor better... Than anyone else, and always have. (Lots of Nokia, Palm, and WM phones tried to compete with RIM there, and lost).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Michael-Dallas:
They have a few phones in works, give it a year. At least one "low end" WP7, like what is available right now, as well as some "high end" WP7.

Of course it all depends if any carriers pick them up. If not, then I hope they are still sold as unbranded phones. I like my Focus, but I love unbranded phones more.

Michael.

Now that I am a pro, lol. I flashed cognition 4.3 and it's for sure way faster. Looks like stock rom, but is definitely way faster. Is there not much customization to be done on this rom? But imma start to read up on more roms. Thanks for teaching me how to flash!!

Edit: I know that froyo didn't require task killer, some people said that it even made their phone run bad. How about on cognition 4.3, does that need a task killer our does it run fine without one?
[Captivate General] Harveythedog:
You can switch between 5 lockscreens :)

There are a couple of themes around for Cog 4.x if you're keen on customizing, just make double sure it's compatible with your ROM......and do a nandroid backup in case it goes pear shaped.

Forget task killers unless you have a really specific need.
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
I flash my first ROM couple weeks back. Was really happy it went with no glitches or problems, but all thanks to the help from here! :D
