[Surround General] MagpieMDP:
It's horses for courses. I have a Surround and it works for what I need. I travel a lot for work and I the speakers mean I can use it to play music in my hotel room without the need for carrying around external ones. They're not as good as a good set of externals, but much better than the built in speaker in most other phones. I also have an HD2 that I have upgraded to run WP7 (therefore similar to HD7S). I have given it to my son. The bigger screen is tempting, and it is also lighter and thinner to carry around. It really depends what you want to do with it.
[Surround General] ashykat:
I used a Surround for a while but now I use an HD7. The surround was definitely not awful, but I didn't feel like the slide out speaker was worth the extra weight and bulk. WP7 has an amazing on screen keyboard and the 3.8 inch screen of the surround was very easy to type on, although IMO it's easier to type on the HD7. Honestly you just need to lay out what you want in your device. AFAIK the only change from the HD7 to the HD7S is the screen, and the internals are basically the same on those as they are on the surround, so it's not as if you're getting an updated processor or anything. For some people the smaller form factor of the Surround is easier to hold and use than the larger HD7S. I don't think you can go wrong either way though, and supposedly the HD7S is coming pretty soon. Go to an AT&T store and play with the surround, then to T-Mobile and play with the HD7 so you can compare the two.
[Surround General] vel0city1:
I'd really go with the HD7S. I've had weird device quirks with the Surround (all of which have seemed to go away). Also I'm usually always wary of sliders as I always find the slide joints always wear out and start oreoing or expanding out making the phone thicker and seem less solid.

That said, I do enjoy the speakers on the Surround. I'm always pulling out my Surround and watching stuff on Slingplayer right before class or when I'm just sitting around waiting for something.

[Desire Themes and Apps] aeggedeler:
You could make digiclock look like that. It's free on the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] pokku:
You can get a clock like that with Minimal Text widget too.

There is definitely a MT-widget, at least in the down part of that home screen, so it is highly possible that the clock is made with that too.

Other widget that looks exactly like that is called Digital Clock Widget. Search it on market!

I'd post a link to my current setup that looks exactly like that, but as a new user I can't do anything.

EDIT: Here's a text link: i.imgur.com/A86Jg.png

[HTC Inspire 4G] phierce:
I am new to HTC Inspire as i got one for my wife after she saw my samsung vibrant and all the neat things i can do compared to her IPHONE4 so i am very versed with rooting/flashing roms in the samsung vibrant world. I see a few quides here in reference to Root and S-OFF which guide do you guys reccommend as being the best. Also which rom/kernel is the best combo ?

Kind regards
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I think this may get bumped to General, but here's a little of my own experience. Your rooting method of choice will just depend on how comfortable you are with rooting this phone after knowing what steps are involved, as it's a more detailed process than phones of the past. Bubby323 has a 1-click method that works well and attn1 put together an outstanding hack kit, (see their respective threads for instructions), and I'm sure other members have submitted some great methods, but those are the 2 that I've tried. As far as ROMs and kernels go, it just depends on your personal needs. I wanted a ROM and kernel that were close to the stock experience, but eliminated the bloat and allowed for overclocking/undervolting, which is why I'm using twopumpchump's ROM with Apache's BUZZ kernel. I'm pretty satisfied with what I have so far, but I'm always open to taking new stuff for a spin.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aeneas3:
I had great success with the method by bubby.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406

Like mentioned, there are a few methods. If you use the method from bubby, make sure you look at the faq b/c most problems are addressed in the faq. the key is making the gold card.

as for ROMs, our great programmers have put forth many to choose from. for the first month I kept with the ROM from bubby but just changed to the gingerbread rcmix hd b/c I wanted sense and to try gingerbread. I am loving it so far. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984805

remember to back up your contacts and messages before you do anything :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] judicious:
what's the difference between the 1 click and the hack kit? they both root, unlock and have radio s-off right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] aeneas3:
i have not used the hack kit but I would assume they differ by the method used to get the same end result.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manel88:
Hey guys

I have a Samsung Galaxy S. Last week I tried installing a battery icon and after installation, it rebooted my phone. It's now stuck giving me the message titled, "Factory Test Failed" w/ error,"no package was found that provides the factory_test action‏" I have the "Confirm" button, but everytime I click it, the same msg pops up again. This happens after the Galaxy and rogers logo loads. I tried going to recovery mode and clean up my user data and cleaned up the internal SD, but nothing seems to work.

I don't have my USB in debugging mode, so I am not sure if Odin is going to work on it. Any help? I did upgrade it to 2.2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwill0303:
You may have to reflash 2.2 to get everything back to stock and/or do a factory reset within recovery if you can

[Focus General] wildbilll:
http://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/

I did this. My Focus was totally stock. No mods. This took less that 10 minutes total.

After it was complete, all of my stuff was still there. About as painless as it could get.

There was no chance to backup anything. Also this can't be reversed. But who cares? It worked great.

Make sure you download the 32 bit or 64 bit versions as appropriate to the PC the phone is connected to. If you read some of the comments, you will get the feeling that the few that complain probably ran the wrong version.

If you are not sure if you are 32 or 64 bit, go to Control Panel, then System. It will tell there.
[Focus General] thealanshow:
The No mods portion is quite misleading. If it runs Chevron, chances are it is modding it. I would be stunned if this didn't void your warranty, absolutely stunned. The only way to update sans any mods would be to wait for the update to come. Otherwise, you might as well run the debrander and update that way...
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Concerned

I used this to update to pre-NoDo (7004-7008). I have not done NoDo yet and I'll tell you what my concern is. I would like to know where this update is coming from (I am assuming the MS servers) and whether it is the same version currently being tested by AT&T. I am concerned that there may be AT&T or Samsung specific "fixes" in the AT&T version that are not included in the version being downloaded through this method. Wish someone could tell us.
[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
Well I did it all

Went to nodo and my samsung is working fine if you need me to test some things for you just let me know and I will be happy, as far as warranty goes whenever I did chevron I didn't worry about it anyway, nor did I when I have had any previous devices.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
My phone was not modded prior to the update. As far as I can tell it is still unmodded. I didn't see anything happen except the two updates. There is a command window open while this process is taking place.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
I had a similar thought, but after a few days of read about people getting NoDo, I said screw it. As far as I have read no company, Samsung included, has added anything to NoDo. I would be shocked if they did anything.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Samsung firmware updates come separate. This update method works because Microsoft released " Windows Phone Support Tool "; Chris acknowledges. When you update, your specific phone gets identified.

I have a non-mod AT&T Samsung Focus. Like everyone else who followed the directions it took about 10 minutes, and worked perfectly. I've tested the features and my apps and it is much snappier. I'm happy with it!

*** Oh, I also used the windows phone support tool before trying to update ***
[Focus General] jonandkym:
It appears the chevronupdater file has been removed from the linked post... Does anybody still have a copy?
[Focus General] bloodylipp:

No one here should be misled. If you're worried about warranty, be advised NOT to install, run , deploy almost anything that is discussed here.

chevronupdater

Here's the chevronupdater for 64 bit windows. Also, i had trouble doing this as it would run and not update anything. Then i ran windows phone support tool and it updated my focus from 7004 to 7004.3 or something. If it's not working for you, you could try that
[Focus General] agamar:
You guys might also want to go ahead and download .Net 4, since the updater apparently requires it.

I would link directly to it, but I haven't posted 8 times yet!
[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
One general thing I noticed last night

My phone kept chiming .........bing, bing, bing, bing bing bing......... well you get the point. I turned it off and back on and it came back so at that time I just switched my phone to vibrate reason I have no idea besides that it has been running great.
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Reported

Do you have a Focus? This behavior has been reported with the Focus a few times, in fact there is a thread somewhere about this. I had(?) this as well. The battery icon would flash like it was charging when it was not connected to a charger. When the usb cable was plugged in it behaved normally. It would not allow the screen to turn off. I worked with ATT Technical Support as well as Samsung. ATT informed me it was a known problem and they had seen many cases, MS knew of it and it was being fixed "in the next update". This was over a month ago. Mine stopped this behavior. I was normally able to stop it by plugging it into the PC and then, through a combination of turning off Zune, turning off the phone and unplugging while the screen was off, get it to stop.

[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
Thanks J I see you everywhere on Focus post lol, yes I have a Focus I need to update my sig I know. It was the first time I experienced that I had my Focus since launch and it has been unlocked since the chevron came out, until I tried the unbranding update ;(. But it is up and running since running chevronupdate, I really haven't noticed anything as of yet, because my device was running fine prior to update, but the XDA disease really keeps my wanting more :) Thanks for the update big guy.
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Your Welcome

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.

Wonder why the updater was pulled?????
[Focus General] buffalosolja42:
I am guessing ATT, asked MS to do it because it looks like it makes them seem to not care about customers (worked a while for Cingular/ATT) and alot of things I know can be implemented into devices and they just don't. They nickel and dime us to death I think MS should I hate to say it (do like Apple) and just push the updates themselves to the devices and only radio updates should be pushed by providers (the only thing they need to do anyways). If anyone needs it I have it in my dropbox :) (the chevron upate 32 and 64)
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Agreed

The worst thing MS did was allow the carriers to play such a significant role in the update process, especially their "Premier Partner", AT&T. I worked for them for 9 years during a time when customer satisfaction was at the core of the company. Today's AT&T is not that company, not even a shadow. MS will get the brunt of the criticism for this early update fiasco, even though AT&T deserves the blame. MS will receive it because consumers view this as an MS update. In addition, MS agreed to this "model" with the carriers so, in a way, they deserve the criticism.
[Focus General] osterman:
AT&T Samsung Focus Success!!!!

Detail and I don't know how many had this issue. DO NOT turn off your phone before the update as the Windows Phone Support Tool instructions tell you. I know, I know, but I did that for quite some time until I decided NOT to turn off the phone.

Did have to run it twice, but I've already copy and pasted to my heart's content :)

Great job guys.....Thanks a million!!!!!!
[Focus General] cgrizz:
just Unbrand

I just got a new Samsung Focus and all I did was dev unlock my device because I am a dev, but after that all I did was plug in my phone, unbrand it, and I got the 7008 update, followed by the another check and I got the Nodo update. No other mod necessary. Just an unlock and an unbrand and I got both updates.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
I installed the support tool, but I never ran it. I ran the chevron7 program, it calls the support tool. Do not run the support tool and expect anything to happen with the pre nodo or nodo. Just follow the directions on the referenced website.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
Those worried that the Chevron updater will hinder future updates relax. HTC phones who used the updater received official HTC update from Zune afterwards. I'm feeling pretty confident we wont miss out on future updates from Microsoft/Carrier.
[Focus General] TexUs:
So even though the original post is like, "run the updater" and it mentions LATER to install the support tools... Having the support tools installed is a prerequisite for the updater to run properly- just FYI for anyone else.

I'm a newbie Focus person so I also have a question, is there a flash to stock app somewhere just in case something ever goes awry?
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Don't think so.

No, not that I know of. If you launch the Tool after you update using the Chevron Updater I believe you will see a button to "Revert" or something like that and I believe it takes you back to 7004 but I am not absolutely sure about that, haven't had to use it but did read about others using it.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
Where in my original post did I give instructions on how to do the update? I can tell you that is impolite to misquote people.:mad:

I provided the link to the instructions. I said that I did this. I said it worked.

Before you do anything like this to your phone, you should read carefully first. If you can't understand what you are about to do, DON'T DO IT.
[Focus General] TexUs:
You're right. You didn't give instructions in your OP.

Thus, what in the hell instructions must I be talking about?
[Focus General] thealanshow:
No mods eh? Chris Walsh, the creator of chevron updater might not agree...

I'm trying to figure out what there is in that blog post that says anything we haven't already read a dozen other places...
[Focus General] rhuie:
i think ms requested the app to be pulled because his app does nothing to create a factory restore image. This could lead to the issue they're citing about not receiving future updates and having no recourse. Especially if your phone crashes during the update.
