just to clarify before I finally got my 7355 device

my phone got progressively worse after the wifi bug. Switching the microsd card did nothing! and it got to the point the device wouldn't turn on without a battery pull (e.g. it wouldn't wake up out of sleep)

and this was after a hard reset!

Seriously, it was ridiculous!
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Undoubtedly the worst phone purchase decision I have ever made. If I had gone with the HD7 at least it would have worked, crap screen and camera notwithstanding. And it has Wifi N. The DVP is a complete lemon, through and through.

Please go ahead and update us!!!

He actually knew what it meant!! He also knew about Nodo and post Nodo!!!

He said it wil start with the US.....

well....nothing happening on my side....perhaps 10am PST
[Venue Pro General] AlexMinsk:
Ok I had call to this PIECE-OF-****-SUPPORT.

#1 they don't recognize service tag for my dell. nice move

#2 they don't have email support for that. in 2011. I believe they still use paper and pens, not just 'word'

#3 UPDATE IS COMING, but there is no release date. Cant say for 100% if she got me correctly, but I did say 3 times I need update for FIRMWARE.

Hate dell ;)
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
my service tag was not recognized either....until I went back to the box and realized, reading it off the phone I had a letter wrong.
[Venue Pro General] mrdh:
yeah, @lionelatdell tweeted "no #dellvenuepro update today."

I've been searching online for an update from someone who swapped in the sandisk 32gb class 2 card a month or more ago, to hear how it's going now. is it still happpily ever after or has the dvp lapsed back into crashing? the microsd card swappers report great results initially, but does it stay great?

I have an 8gb model and did a factory reset three weeks ago and it was like a new device for the first two weeks, and now it has starting to revert to it's old behavior. I had planned to give their firmware update a shot before buying a new micro sd card.
[Venue Pro General] venelar:
I did the same thing before i finally ordered my DVP and a 32gb card the same day.

I emailed Matt Miller, author of THIS article on zdnet.

He replied with this via email:

The article was originally written in February. So after getting his reply and the replies of a few PM's i sent to people on the board here i felt good about going through with it. My device has been great since swapping out cards.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I think its time we changed tactics. I'm going to call Dell several times a day to enquire about the update, maybe if they get enough calls they will get fed up and actually release it!
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Think auto dialer...."Please hold for an important message from efjay"
[Venue Pro General] MrAdelphi02:
I can honestly report, after about 5 weeks of using the phone with the 32gb class 2 card swapped out, the phone works flawlessly...

Not ONE hangup since changing cards...I started out with a 8gb DVP, manufacturing date 03/31/2011 with pre-nodo (had copy and paste) already loaded on the phone. Swapped the cards, then updated to nodo, then post-nodo with no complications. 30gb available, using 25gb with no wifi crashes whatsoever

(watch me get nothing but crashes from now on!)

P.S. I don't want this update for me personally, because I fear it will damage my phone....If it comes, I just wont install it...don't want to risk it
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
You know...there are lots of people without problems. But there are an awful lot of people that do. I wish we can figure out what the that problem is. Its not the cards....many have tried swapping out cards and still have a problem.

I think you're going to see an updated firmware. If it does not resolve alot of the issues, I think we'll see an explosion of dissatisfaction aimed at Michael Dell, like they have never seen before. The venue pro, the Streak 7....all have major issues with hardware and software updates.

I've been a pain the ass trying to track down the things I've seen. But there are too many videos and examples of problems, that can be reproduced, to think this is an isolated problem. Though I firmly believe the Dell VP, when working, is a great phone...one of the best I've owned, no one can deny its been a nightmare for some people here.

Be careful with the update when it comes. Its possible that Dell will make it mandatory, which will simply mean, in order to get any other update, you have to have it. Like...7008 was mandatory. To get 7390, you had ot have 7008...etc. No one knows what they'll do yet....so the option may not be there.

Everyone in the USA...BOMBARD DELL WITH PHONE CALLS

It is free afterall :)
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
On the phone with Dell, fun times! This time I got an asian operator, asked about the firmware update and he going through the normal process of asking me what the problem is, verify name and address, asked if my device was locked then tried to tell me that updates come from the carrier? and they will send the update then the kicker - which version is it running, 2.2 or 2.1? OBVIOUSLY NO CLUE!!! I am talking about a WP7 device even though he asked for my service tag earlier.

WHAT A FARCE!!!! For some reason reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAG39jKi0lI

To end, I asked him to go and check again and he did and came back and gave me the dell support website and said there is no update (obviously) but suggested to check back next week. Didnt sound as if he was actually sure anything would be available. He was nice and polite though (as was I) but end result is the same - no update, no info, just BS.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
again, that's you

On 3 of the 7 replacements I received the service tag wasn't registered at all, and it prompted the supervisor to actually manually add the service tag in the dell database. 14 days later, it was finally added, but I didn't have the device. Ironic...

Like I said months ago

if dell will they will screw the customer over. Please let this be a lesson to everyone. DO NOT BUY FROM DELL
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
Fortunately, I don't have as many problems as some. No Bluetooth issues but wi-fi will lock up sometimes when charging, watching video or DLing from the Marketplace. It's maybe 1 out of every 4 times I try these things, which is way too much. Should be 0-4.

But, regardless of how often I have issues, I can say that I will not purchase a Dell product again. My first and my last.

And, let us all remember... All that glitters ain't gold.
[Venue Pro General] kartbart:
Last purchase ever from Dell

Me too. I was thinking of buying an all-in-one PC from DELL. Now I'm totally not going to buy from Dell. I say hello IBM/Lenovo for that.

See, I was telling service tag directly from phone in my hands. And this tag I also sent to unlockcoderequest and they recognized it.

Replacement received week of 5-22 no new firmware

Hi all. I bought the Venue Pro in early December or November (I was one of the people who had Christmas Eve delivery) and that unit had the "dust under the top right side of the screen" issue. I had a refurbished replacement (Dell refused to provide a new one) shipped last week and was told that this unit would have the firmware update that fixed intermittent freezing. But... the new unit is exactly the same. Needless to say, it has the same freezing issues. On a side note, the unit has visible bonding residue on the seam in the top right (where the front chrome piece meets the rubberized black back piece) - yuck.

At this point I wonder if Dell will ever fix this issue. Sometimes I think it would be nice to switch the the Focus and see what a good implementation of WP7 feels like, because my Venue Pro is always slow and buggy.

Version numbers for my old and new unit (after post NoDo updates) listed below:

OS 7.0.7392.0

Firmware 2250.1500.7004.105

HW 112.576.2.0

Radio SW 2.2.50.15

Radio HW 8250

Bootloader 7.27.1.0

SOC 0.36.2.0

I've been trying to post some updates here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074421&page=3

I haven't used a ton of my storage up yet. I've had some freezes, and there's some lag when viewing the Messages hub, in loading the list of Contacts/Thread, and in loading long messages. I compared it to a friend with a Samsung Focus who has thousands of texts with his girlfriend, and it's so much smoother on his. He said he's never had a single freeze in the many months that he has had his phone.

I went to the DELL Service center in Hyderabad, India...they updated my Firmware to

2250.1800.7355.210 ...will update you guys if the issues still exist...
[Venue Pro General] domineus:

Yes camera is still the worst in the world....

Is this the same rumored update or do we have better days ahead???

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3igi3yrd:
Firstly, congrats to all the wooters that got there gTablets this week.

Now, my question - I've got everything up and running on my gtablet with Vegan 5.1, but the docked favorite buttons (that can be easily changed in Cyanogenmod) has a phone shortcut. Since I don't have the availability of a phone on my device, I'd like to remove the icon or switch it out for something else, but I can't seem to figure out how. Am I overlooking something obvious?

All for just $375 w/ FREE Shipping in my paypal account (US Only unless you want to pay the difference in shipping)

PM me with offers and questions
[G Tablet General] mattrb:
Dude most people here would not buy the G-Tab for more then $300. They had a $280 woot the other day. Sell it for $300 and you will get bites.

Amazon has it for $340.

Also, Get the $400 Asus eee honeycomb that is coming out for Best buy. $150 more but you get IPS and honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] hungarianhc:
This post makes me sad :(. Ordered my Woot tablet last week for $279.99 and it arrives today! I don't want to see someone selling!

and yeah considering like half the people here now got a tablet on woot, good luck for selling it for a hair over $284.99.
[G Tablet General] therealkired:
I hate to say it, these folks are right, your price is a little high. You may want to wait and let the fine devs do their thing to provide us with a nice honeycomb rom.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You can't blame him. He probably got it when the gtab was still in the $350-400 range.

Added by edit.

PS - My elderly dad wants one after he saw me using it. He mainly wants to use it to surf the net while sitting on his comfortable chair and have a 10 inch screen gps. I'm waiting for it to go sub 300 again to buy it for him.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
You will be disappointed with honeycomb in its current state.. I'm just saying :D.

Keep your eyes on TigerDirect -- I got mine for $307 shipped, surely there will be another discount code soon.
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
If your buying the ASUS "Transformer" make sure you order the optional wheels.:D
[G Tablet General] arentol:
Considering that it is looking like that Asus will be closer to £400 than $400, I wouldn't be in a rush to trade up to it just yet. $150 for IPS and honeycomb is one thing, $300+ is another.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Don't always compare pricing from other countries to how US pricing will work out. Companies rarely do that themselves. For example a 160gb ps3 on amazon uk that's been discounted from 255 pounds to 229 pounds. 229 pounds is $369 that same ps3 sells on Amazon's US website for $299.99 $70 less than the Brit's discounted price. The UK usually gets shafted the most when it comes to electronic prices so they're the worse to convert to what the US price will be.
[G Tablet General] dutch_in_seattle:
After finding out about the Asus Eee Transformer yesterday, I immediately sold my gTablet for $280 on Craig's List (which included an extra AC adapter and the Mazata dock). That's what I had paid for it myself a few weeks ago, so I'm breaking even. If the retail prices for the Transformer floating around on the Internet are accurate, that could be a killer tablet. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these puppies!

[G Tablet General] hungarianhc:
Well guys, I must admit... I had some fun with the gtablet... for a couple days. Then my mom came over last night and flashed her iPad 2. I know these devices are different, but the screen is SO much better. And it's so much lighter! In any case, the gtablet is not for me. I've put mine on eBay. I started the bidding at 1 cent, and I have 100% seller rating so I know some of you are looking for a second tablet - this might be your chance!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
Does anyone use bluetooth in their vehicle with their EVO? If so, is it a factory vehicle BT or aftermarket stereo BT?

I have a 2011 VW Golf TDi. For some reason my phone seems really unresponsive and sluggish whenever I have BT connected with the car. I don't recall the phone being so unresponsive and sluggish at first since I found it easier to just dial a number (or find the contact) on the phone and just hit call instead of doing it through the car's menu.

Does anyone else experience this?

Please download XAPDeployX-V0.9.zip, it is the latest and greatest version

If you have any of the 0x89xxxx errors, please download the attached "vs_sdeprolightup-enu.zip" file and run it.

Hi,

attached you'll find a new XAP installer which has quite a few unique selling points.

- In-place update on the phone: In-place update on the phone, e.g. if you already have Version 1.0.0.0 of an app installed on the phone and install 1.0.2.0 an in-place update will performed. No more full "uninstall-new install" cycle required. Your settings, custom files etc. won't be removed (same as marketplace update)

- CoreCon2 based, e.g. Phone Dev Tools are no longer required for application deployment!

- Deploy from file or URL: You can either specify a file or an URL. If you enter an URL the installer will automatically download the xap.

- Own protocol "wphome": Zune's one-click download for homebrew apps. Automatically install homebrew XAPs with a click on a hyperlink. If you want, you can register the application for the wphome protocol. The application will then be allowed to handle urls like

wphome:www.test.com/test.xap

and will automatically start as soon as you click on such a link.

To be able to use "wphome" hyperlinks, you have to click on "Register protocol..." once.

wphome Testlink: wphome:http://www.nextbestgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/helloworld.xap (for testing after you've installed the tool and registered it for the protocol)

After you've opened a XAP file, details will be shown in the top bar.

This is the first step in my plan to provide a homebrew marketplace.

Updated V0.6 - 1-APR-2011

+ Full Log

+ Multiple tweaks, bugfixes

Updated V0.7 - 2-APR-2011

+ CoreCon2 based, e.g. Phone Dev Tools are no longer required for application deployment! [*]

+ Drag'n'Drop support. Just drag and drop any xap from explorer to the tool.

[*] You need a working CoreCon2 installation. If CoreCon2 is not installed on your pc (normally only installed with the Phone Dev Tool) the tool will detect it and download a small installer.

Updated V0.8 - 2-APR-2011

+ Fixed "No addional data: Could not extract XAP file" Bug

+ XAP-Information is show much faster now

+ CoreCon2 Installer now online. You won't need the full Phone Dev Tools for this XAP Deployer

Updated V0.9 - 6-APR-2011

+ Selected Target will now be automatically saved

+ Deploy-Menu for XAP files. Registers a file handler for *.xap and provides a "Deploy" menu entry in file's context menu.

General Prerequisits

- Phone has to be unlocked (either dev, chevron or any other method)

- Zune has to be running and has to be connected to the phone

- Windows Vista or Windows 7, according to users: Windows XP

Regards,

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] diboze:
nice :D

+1 for this step into homebrew marketplace creating ;D

edit: some xaps show info, others dont show info and just say "done" when trying to deploy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TOA Duck:
awsome job.

+1 as well
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kuerbis2:
@diboze: Can you provide a xap which doesn't show info? (XNA Apps might not show an image but name, description, version & author should always be shown)

"Done" means -> Deployment finished ;)

The app does currently not check if the Max Apps limit is reached. Therefore done means either "deployment finished" or "could not deploy because max apps is reached".

UPDATE V06 - 1-APR-2011:

- There is no "Done" anymore. You have a full-fledged activity log now.

- Max App error is now reported in log

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eternalemb:
Awesome stuff man!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prjkthack:
I'm going to assume that in order to successfully deploy, you still need the Windows Phone Dev Tools installed, right?

Otherwise, it's a really great looking and convenient app. I look forward to more updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hskeik:
Fantastic... thanks, gonna try it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] clicheboy:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] N8ter:
ChevronWP7 unlocker doesn't work on NoDo. In order for this to be useful beyond a niche number of users, there needs to be a way to easily unlock the phonse so that XAPs can be deployed.

I see no mention of that in the OP.

Why list a good app on that for free (if it's not free it will get pirated with the XAP being there for everyone) when you can just list it on Zune Market place for 99 cents and make some money. For responsible adults the fee to join the developer program isn't that bad.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kuerbis2:
V0.7 will only require CoreCon installed

Hi,

Glad you've asked. Version V0.7 will no longer use the SmartDevice.ConnectivityDll but will talk to CoreCon (ConMan2) direct. This way you'll only need a ~4MB download to deploy successfully and won't have to download the Dev Tools package.

-k
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] linkju:
it says "No addional data: Could not extract XAP file".
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirimaru89:
same problem here
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eternalemb:
+1

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kuerbis2:
Yes, looks like there are some XAPs around which have a different ZIP-Header value. Besides not showing the name, image & description this message shouldn't have influence to the deployment capabilities.

BUT: I've replaced the ZIP stack and now any XAP-file can be read. The reading is even a lot faster.

Therefore: FIXED :D

In addition:

CoreCon2 installer is also online -> if you don't have the Phone Dev Tools already installed you won't have to just for XAP deployment. XAPDeployX installs a minimal set of required files (< 1MB) on its own.
