[Omnia 7 General] LostLogic:
Hey guys.

Hoping someone can help me out here.

After the NoDo update, quick selecting / browsing contacts is gone. Or rather, it's still there, but all letters but A is grayed out.

I'll try to clarify:

I go into the Phone selection from the Home screen, tap the "People" icon, then tap "A". The alphabet pops up, but everything is grayed out besides "A". The same happens when I enter trough the "People" selection on the home screen.

Is there a way to remedy this, or should I contact WP7 support?

In advance, thanks! :)
[Omnia 7 General] cerato:
Did ya check yr people's list... Phaps it's empty ;)
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
Only "greyed out" letters i have are those with no corresponding name
[Omnia 7 General] LostLogic:
My Peoples list contain some 200 contacts. And no, they don't all have names beginning with an A. :p
[Omnia 7 General] PioneerHD2:
I had the same problem pre-nodo. One day it just wouldn't work any more. All letters were grayed out.

The only thing that helped was a hard-reset, which I think is pretty painless with WP7.

This is a bug, which has already been posted in the Microsoft WP7 help forums, but there was no solution in there besides resetting.
[Omnia 7 General] TheChozen:
I have/had the same problem on my Omnia 7 in Denmark, stock. The problem persists on NoDo.

Maybe this "temporarely fix" helps on NoDo for you too?

Go to Settings -> Region & language -> System Locale

If I have mine set to Danish, I have the same problem as you, only "a" in the letters list - if I change it to English (US), then the contacts are sorted by their "real letters...
[Omnia 7 General] LostLogic:
Thanks a lot! This fixed the problem without the hassle of doing a reset.

Cheers!

As title states, i'm having a problem with my GPS. I can't get any gps lock on my phone. GPS test says its turned on, but I cant get any satellite.

I somewhat doubt that it is a radio- or software problem though, since i also do not get a GPS icon in my notification tray.

Am i just going to have to send it in for repairs, or could this still be something i can fix myself?

I'm running a rooted/s-off DZ with CM7 nightlies installed. I dont usually use Gps, so i cant say when it stopped working for me.

-------

Solved by flashing different radio
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ill_dawg:
Just to run through the easy questions:

Have you tried a soft reset?

Have you tried a hard reset?

Are you in a place where your phone has a clear view of the sky? (ie outside, on a clear day)

have you tried opening google maps, or something else that will make your phone look for a lock? (gps isn't locked on all the time, only when it has to be. Otherwise, it'd kill your battery.)

Are you using a non-stock battery? Someone on here said that when the larger battery was pressing on the back of the phone, he couldn't get a gps lock.

is anything else pressing on the back of the phone? a tight case, etc?

try running this app while you're standing outside, just to make sure it's not trying to do its thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engorge:
I've tried a soft reset, a hard reset and a factory reset. I've also used GPS status to reset the gps settings and downloaded the a-gps stuff.

I can only get a lock in google maps when i've got wifi/network location on as well, and no gps using app can get the gps icon to show up in the notification tray.

Using a stock battery, so i'm starting to suspect the gps chip is broken :(

GPS Test just sits there saying its on, but not getting any satellites. Doesnt matter if i am inside or outside, it wont give me anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engorge:
Solved.

I reflashed a different radio and its working again.

[LG Optimus 2x] Fusel Wusel:
Does the P990 support MP3 streaming via Bluetooth A2DP oder does it only stream with SBC-Codec?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mehrsau:
It's supporting A2DP. The manual has been posted somewhere. If I remember well, it was one of the german forums but I'm not sure. There it's written in it... I'll have a lock if I find it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mehrsau:
here we are ;-)

http://www.hotfilesearch.com/download/58684573-EN.LG-P990.SVC.ENG.110216up.by.nasirahmed.pdf.html
[LG Optimus 2x] Fusel Wusel:
I know that it can do A2DP. That was not the question.

Most Phones that support A2DP do the streaming via the open license codec SBC.

So when I want to listen to a let's say 192kbit MP3, this MP3 gets decoded to uncompressed format and recompressed to SBC. This can lead to a huge quality loss.

Some devices have support for _direct_ MP3 streaming so that there is no reencoding needed. But that costs extra licensing-fees ;)

So does anybody know if the Optimus 2x is capable of doing direct MP3 streaming via A2DP?

[EDIT] Tested playing over Bluetooth to my laptop. Sounds good. Couldn't make out differences to playing directly from my laptop.

But a clear answer would be good, because I am interested in it...

Trip's rom is my daily rom now. It just...works! Rico & suave :cool:

The only thing I'm struggling with is how to display / hide contact groups? I have way too many contacts to display them all.

This is possible in stock android and the 435 rom.

How do you do that in Trip's ROM?

I could be wrong, but I think MIUI Contacts application

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DragonDon:
So, after ignoring my G1 for 6 months, I finally decided to try and make use of it once more.

Currently I rooted it and have a JF 1.41 RC33 installed.

I have found that Titanium Backup does nothing but FC on it. I would really like to get this working (as I did buy the full license). A bunch of other apps do nothing but FC as well, not that they were critical but this is a minor annoyance.

Question, should I post the log of the FC or is there a known issue that requires me to upgrade?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JKILO:
Isn't r33 cupcake? If so it may need updated to work with new apps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DragonDon:
You know, I really have no idea. Hell, even the link that I got it from (on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480) no longer works any more.

Been googling and can't really find any straight answer.

Maybe I don't even have the 'right RC33'. Under my kernel version it says:

2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0

jesusfreke@AndroidDev#1

Build Number

killa-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986

ota-rel-keys, release-keys

The file I DL's was titled "JFv1.41_RC33.zip". JF's blog entries (http://jf.andblogs.net) start with v1.42.

Maybe this is what the media means by a fractured community? It always seems hard to get what seems to be, simple answers.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Things I need to know:

Which version of Android am I really running?

What is the next logical upgrade step?

Should I even upgrade to try to solve problems? (that went horribly wrong with I first tried going the CM rom route).

Edit: Seems that I do have 1.5 as when I looked under updates, there is 1.6 waiting to be DL'd. Don't really want to do that as it'll kill my root access. Would rather 'upgrade' to another JF updated ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DragonDon:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTownBrewer:
Then you can just reboot directly into recovery from the power menu. Boot the phone as normal, once everything is loaded hold power until you get the menu, select reboot, then select recovery.

Also, there is an adb command to do the same thing:

adb reboot recovery

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTownBrewer:
it's power + the volume up key, i guess. Sounds like you have the stock recovery on your phone.

Pull the battery and restart the phone. Then load rom manager application (should be on your phone as I believe it is part of all CM roms). Select the option to flash clockworkmod recovery and then hit the reboot into recovery option.

honestly i the dont know where you can buy just pieces.. if it has no audio in the earpiece and volume buttons dont function then u have hardware issues.. please read the s-off thread in development to flash a permanent recovery. you can have clockwork as a permanent recovery instead of having to flash it each time. hope this works.. if not honestly whats the point of owning or updating the phone if you always have to talk on speaker and cant adjust the volume..
[Windows Phone 7 General] BEERSHARK:
Had the long awaited message pop up on my HD7 and Zune last night about the new update.

Proceeded to update on Zune then had an error message come up saying not enough space on my C drive on PC, needed MB but cleared 6GB. Restarted phone & PC but wouldn't continue.

Downloaded a fresh copy of Zune to another PC thats never had it. Ran it, found the update then Zune wanted to update itself after only downloading a new copy minutes ago.

Fine, started the update - 10 steps.

Got stuck on step 6 (i think, was phone reboot) and had message on phone saying connect to PC but was already connected.

OK, unplugged phone and started the whole process again. I have used around MB of space on phone so backup took some time.

Worked well through all steps, about 1+ hour.

Restarted phone, looked OK briefly but was very VERY slow and apps wouldn't open. Ages to go from one screen to another.

Got really frustrated as tiles weren't working either. Total f@ck up.

Tried soft resets, no joy.

2am in the morning and need phone for work the next day.

SIM & battery out, no good.

Then, I noticed it had changed the time / date to 1980 (all my contacts / emails / content was all intact after update and didn't need to restore from backup).

Changed date manually to todays date and autodate didn't work.

Restarted phone and hey presto, all works fine now.

- Cut & Paste OK.

- Haven't noticed any speed improvements

- Feature on calendar - click on appointment and there is a button called LATE. Give you the option to SMS / Email organiser or attendees if you are running late. Nice touch.

- Changes in wi-fi

Anyone came across the above or any new features?

[Windows Phone 7 General] doesntexist:
Yeah, I had that weird time and date problem, it seemed to push my date a week forward and set the time completely wrong. I also had to set these manually to fix it. Not sure why this happened but now some of my texts are out of order after sending and receiving a few message before noticing the wrong date, really annoying. But it is only a small problem so I suppose its not too bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I had the same issue when I applied the update via the Hungarian PPTP thing. Today I tried to do a rollback which sadly ****ed up my entire device. So I had to flash a stock ROM. After that was completed, I immediately recieved the update messages for february and march. Date worked fine and even the gradient issue was gone.
[Xoom General] wase4711:
so, has anyone figured out a way to "select all" when trying to delete multiple emails form your inbox or from the trash, in either the Gmail app, or the regular email app?

I can't believe you have to tick the check box for each and every email to delete it...

No. This is a long standing issue that you can only work around by purchasing a 3rd party e-mail application such as K9 or Touchdown.
[Xoom General] wase4711:

I have K9 mail on my evo; I was trying to keep things more "stock" on the xoom, but maybe I should start using it..

I like the email widget built into the xoom; and, I dont believe k9 has a widget..

of course, that wouldnt solve the problem with not being able to multiple select with gmail..
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Theres no way to delete emails at once by check boxes or anything?
[Xoom General] wase4711:
you have to individually check off each box, one at a time..if you get alot of emails, its a royal PITA..
[Xoom General] Droid4All:
Launch the web version of gmail.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Yeah, I have to remember every 2 or 3 days to go into the trash folders of both my Nexus One and my Xoom now to clear out the trash otherwise my memory consumption just goes up.

I am using un-contract HTC Pure windows 6.5 phone in india. Now I am facing some issue with my mobile so I want to hard reset my phone. But I am worried about one thing is, do I need to unlock my phone again after hard resetting mobile ? :confused::confused:

Hard reset will restore everything of the operating system in its factory issue so you will loose your datas and configuration yes.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkxl:
Hi

I am new to this forum.

I bought HTC diamond 2 recently. It is my first smartphone, so I am a little nooby with it. Anyway, it has the stock windows 6.1 installed. So, I may go off topic, but I wanted to ask:

1 - If I am about to upgrade my phone to WM6.5, will my warranty still be working with another OS than the stock one?

2 - If I install (or flash or whatever you call it) my phone to WM6.5 and then perform the hard reset (push the reset button on the back of th phone), will the phone run wm6.5 or the stock wm6.1 after the reset?

I hope you understood the questions, sorry for my wretched grammar.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reibe:
If you install an official WM6.5 ROM from HTC you won't loose warranty (I guess)

A hard reset will reset your phone to the factory settings of the latest flashed ROM. So if you flash a 6.5 ROM and do a hard reset your phone will still be on that 6.5 ROM.

Attention: pushing the reset button is not a hard reset - it's a soft reset :)

And a soft reset won't kill your data or configuration
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkxl:
So, what exactly does the soft reset and hard reset? Where is the difference? And how do I perform the hard reset then? :)

A couple of days ago we posted about a Workaround for forced NoDo update which works pretty well.But if you are one of those Windows Phone 7 users,who still haven’t got their hands on the NoDo update(Copy-Paste) for their WP7 device?Wait no more,ChevronWP7 Updater to the Rescue.

Yes, one of the masterminds behind the famous Chevron WP7 Team Chris Walsh seems to have found a solution to the NoDo update problem with a simple solution,with a bit help from the recently released Windows Phone Support Tool.

Chris has released Chevron Updater utility which will allow you to update your phone with a few simple steps.So if you are tired of waiting for the AT&T’s update or any other carrier for that matter then head over to chris’s blog and download the Microsoft Windows Phone Support Tools and ChevronWP7.Updater.exe console app and follow the on screen instructions.The source for the updater application will be available by tomorrow.

Chris Walsh's ChevronWP7.Updater is a command line console app which prompts the user to follow the steps but it requires that the device language is supported by ChevronWP7.Update (at the moment the tool supports English US, English UK, French, Italian, Spanish and German) and it's strongly recommended not trying out any other language combinations!

Anyway, while this seems to be an interesting option to shorten the time for getting the Windows Phone 7 NoDo update, you better know what you are doing since such a workaround can seriously damage your Windows Phone 7! I would suggest to better wait until your carrier releases its Windows Phone 7 NoDo update but just in case you want it now, I've told you that there's a workaround.

THE BAD NEWS

UPDATE: Looks like Chris Walsh has taken down ChevronWP7.Updater, the download isn't available anymore. He has not yet given the reason for the take-down and therefore it's unclear if he has taken it down on Microsoft's request or because it caused more problems than it helped! Again, use it on your own risk and better know what you are doing if you plan to use it!

UPDATE 2: In an info, Microsoft seriously warns to use ChevronWP7.Updater. According to Microsoft, the use of ChevronWP7.Updater could possibly put the updated Windows Phone 7 device into a state where it cannot receive future regular updates to the OS anymore and the only fix will be re-flashing the device with an original stock ROM. At the end of the day if could mean that such Windows Phone 7 devices have to be send to the manufacturers or carriers service centers because unlike for Windows Mobile, stock ROMs are officially not available as a public download for end-users.

those updates about ChevronWP7 Updater are AWESOME! I warned people about using the Chevron software. That things seemed a bit too convenient. That it probably was NOT a good idea to trust software coming from the same people that were supposedly in talks with Microsoft, that stopped supporting their own software, and that no one had really heard much from in a long while. When something is too good to be true, it usually is.
