[Windows Phone 7 General] missionsparta:
Can someone tell me why you cannot organize and even more important, have actual copies of your apps locally (on your home computer)?

I unfortunately own the lemon known as the Dell Venue Pro. I am now on my third one. And inbetween each return for defective items (the phone sucks in basic terms), an app in which I PURCHASED was removed from the marketplace (once by Microsoft and once by the developer). When the first phone went back, the Xbox Live game 'something' Blade (I forget the title of the side way shooter starring the psycho nun and the zombies) was removed from the marketplace. I had purchased it days before the unit crashed and was barely able to use it. While I was waiting for the new phone, the game was taken of the marketplace. Once I got the working phone, there was no way to reinstall or retrieve the app, since you are not allowed to own a copy locally. Microsoft had pulled the app due to content (game was not inappropriate at all compared to some of the others).

The second time I recieved a new phone was Thursday and the defective phone went back immediately. When I went to reinstall my apps (had to make a list of what I bought because I am not allowed to have them LOCALLY), to my suprise the developer of Doodle God removed it, to my best guess because they came out with almost the same game in Doodle Devil. So after pulling the game I contacted the developer and they pretty much told me that Doodle Devil is almost the same game and I could purchase that. What kind of crap is this?

So can someone explain why in all hell we are not allowed to locally organize and even more important OWN any of the apps we purchase. Essentially Doodle Devil seems to be an addon at best. So anytime a company wants to boost their sales of addons, all they have to do is delete their original app that many bought, and hope that if those original customers have since deleted them from their phone and will have to repurchase the "new version" if they want to use it again? This is ridiculous.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I feel for ya. That sounds very crappy...and a way MS seems to do business, as well. If the dev told you to buy the new version of the game you bought because of them deleting the old version, I would file suit with someone or demand they compensate me. My mouth would not cease till they resolved it. Fortunately I haven't purchased Doodle God or Doodle Devil. And I won't now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the flashing world and need some guidance.

Current rom:

MODEL NUMBER GT-I9000

FIRMWARE VERSION 2.2.1

BASEBAND VERSION I9000XXJPY

KERNEL 2.6.32.9 root (at) SEP - 51 #1

BUILD NUMBER FROYO .XXJPY

Old Rom:

It was from vodafone, but i can't seem to find exactly what rom it is.

I had a problem with my stock SGS rom and was forced to flash it, but i now have a different rom installed on my SGS, the booting animation (for example) isn't from vodafone anymore.

And KIES doesn't recognize my current rom (for update), so i wanted to know how could i leave everything exactly like it was before. So that i could update to gingerbread the official way and still have a fall back plan.

One last thing, i used odin (v 1.3) to flash it, can i "safely" reverse from 2.2.1 to 2.2 (original from vodafone)? And how?

Thanks again for the help.

I'm very sorry for the long text.

Stock is not the rom that came with the phone its stock Samsung rom .

You need to have saved your original rom or find somebody that did .

Your Vodaphone upgrade path through Kies will fail as you do not have a Vodaphone rom .

2.2 to 2.1 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .Just use 2.1 rom from samfirmware .

May help .

Also dont be to scared of vodafone. If you have a stock Samsung android, instead of the Vodafone, you still have warranty. Only thing that can happen is that when you send your phone in, they'll flash a Vodafone rom back on and you'll be having all the vodafone crap back on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Really? That's the best news i've heard, since i had this problem. Thanks a lot, how did you know this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The terms and conditions do not say you can flash any old rom and not break your warranty .

The position is one with a stock rom you may get away with warranty repairs but it will depend upon who you take it to and even the guy picking up the phone .

Samsung service centre and they may well repair .

Vodaphone service centre and its clear that they do not have too repair as you have broken your terms of warranty with Vodaphone .

So rule one is a back up of your original rom will nearly always be the safest path it also allows you to use the Kies method for official firmware updates if you want to revert back .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valinorian:
Experience: I messed up 2 of my previous phones (SE and HTC) due to flashing firmwares and brought them to T-Mobile and Vodafone, telling them the phone got stuck in boot. They took them in and when I got them back, they had Vodafone and T-mobile firmware on them again.

But as jje stated, its offcourse always the best to have a backup of your phones firmware. Its always possible some annoying Vodafone guy pops up, and makes a big deal out of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Thanks for all the input,

I never wanted to flash my sgs, but i screwed up the original rom and the phone didn't boot so it was my last resort.

Due to that i didn't make a backup.

In kies i have my rom as KOR and it says that i can't update, if i that *#272#imei code and put it in XEU, would it work? In theory.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexhull24:
Is there a way to download ROMs from the Kies server so that they can be flashed manually at a later date? I'm thinking that if I need it, I can flash back to the latest H3G branded firmware for warranty purposes.

Galaxy S phones across the pond are getting 2.3 right now. That's got to be a good sign.

[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
Yeah, it gives us a base to see exactly how ridiculously long it takes Sprint to bloat it up. I like Sprint, been with them for years, but THEY were the ones mucking up the Froyo update, not Samsung. Granted, we still make out alright compared to Verizon/ATT customers who pay double and get WORSE service... I mean, the Fascinate is still on Eclair.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It will take Samsung longer to port to our phones because of the CDMA radio. Carriers like AT&T have no excuse why their phones aren't getting updates within a week or two of the international rollout. Sprint does add a lot of crap like CIQ to the rom, which probably is what causes most of the delay for us though.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Still on Eclair?! Now that's an outrage
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Yeh, and I'm not sure if the captivate owners have a real 2.2 either
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Both have 2.2 source code which is better than an official update.
[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
No, no its really not. Source code is great, sure, but a real update is what the large majority actually care about. I personally enjoy playing with stock for a while before going custom rom to see the benefits of the devs labor. Plus, I like to use timing and update quality to make future purchase decisions. If I was on Verizon or ATT, I'm certain I would use the Galaxy S update fiasco as a reason to change carriers.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
How? Regular people can't use it and devs didn't take advantage when source dropped for the epic, so I don't know the advantages. Are they doing things with their sauce?
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
The good news is that we've already seen Sprint's internal ED12 build being Gingerbread. So we'll see how long they **** around before actually releasing a build to the public.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredtoday:
Phone: Samsung Omnia 7

OS: Windows 7 SP1

Sync through USB: fast and flawless

Phone connected through AC charger and wireless sync was setup without problem with the zune desktop software.

I am using zunedevices.exe tool to sniff for pings and stuff.

Actually, the phone appears as a network location under "other devices" with the name WindowsPhone:nameIgaveit but it doesn't appear to install any wireless driver (that should install, as far as successful syncs i have been reading about here)

Why do i want this so bad? because zune (music+video app) play counts does not update my zune card on zune.net. And I read somewhere that the device sends the playcounts when its plugged in AC and syncing wirelessly.

Already spent a good chunk of my weekend on this. Some help please?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
I had a problem where plays on the device wouldn't have an affect on the play count in my local zune database or the zune social. It didn't work for a while, it started working, I hard reset and it stopped working again.

Anyway, I eventually used the Zune Media Collection Reset Tool and it has worked great since then. It will wipe out your current local playcounts though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredtoday:
i tried what you suggested but it still doesn't work.

like i said, my phone registers as a upnp device, my computer just doesn't install the drivers for it. which is weird because in the same network but with my laptop, it does and it syncs wirelessly for me. :-s

EDIT: As my suspicion that my problem is caused by a conflict with another program/service grows, i went ahead and re-installed my OS. (i had so many installed programs, it's easier to just wipe completely as i didn't mind really) it works now! although i must say, play counts still does not move forward if i play through the music+video hub in the phone. hmmmmnn...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_mic_only:
okay, i love my evo

i'm ready to root now so i've come to this point where i need to know...

1. is there a way to save all my apps and email addresses, pretty much just move everything over to the rooted product or have a backup of it i can access. i mainly don't want to lose my emails that aren't gmail cause i dont remember all the passwords.

2. is there a way to come back to stock? and have all my stuff still there?

3. whats the easiest way, i'm currently eyeing Unrevoked3.

4. what are the pros and cons of rooting?

5. i keep hearing about there being no security and i want to know how to keep my phone secure while also being rooted.

thanks in advance, i will be communicating throughout this process
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1.Once you root [recommend using unrevoked] it won't touch your apps, ect. it'll be the stock rom with root access, so you won't lose any data.

2.Yes, you'd run the unrevoked s-on tool, the a 3.70 ruu to return back to stock, unrooted.

3.Yes, use unrevoked. Just make sure HTC isn't installed, but was prior. You only need the drivers, and install the hboot drivers.

4. Pro: Highly customizable: splash screen, boot animations, multiple roms, themes for roms, increased battery life, you can take it further.

Con: Only real one is you can brick your phone by doing something stupid, like doing a battery pull during a radio update. Quickest way to brick it. More trouble shooting than non rooted phone, but most are easily fixed.

5.There is security. A small amount of people have claimed to got viruses from downloading pirated apps from sketchy sites. If you choose to use them, no problem, put you can't post links to paid apps. If you really want protection, you can install lookout mobile security, nice features. But basically, don't download from sketchy places.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_mic_only:
so i will keep all my emails and also what about applanet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
1: using unrevoked, you don't have to. any other method, you can back up apps with titanium backup. contacts with stock contact backup.

2: yes. unrevoked s-on tool (even if you don't use unrevoked, the other methods use the unrevoked radio exploit) and then ruu back to stock.

3: easiest is unrevoked, but then you are pretty clueless afterwards. you can do this if you want, but i'd personally reccomend the method in my signature. not as hard as you think. mostly just copying over commands. teaches you A LOT as well.

4: pro: do anything you want with yoru phone. roms, roms, roms, roms, themes, boot anims, splash screens, free tether, anything you want, updates sooner, other phone's updates on your phone, stock android (not htc), modded stock android (cm7 is sexy), a bunch of other stuff, gets you away from video games, get a bit of tech knowledge.

cons: you can brick by pulling battery during radio update, or by the flash memory corruption like 7 people have reported (but they all got free refurbs, and 7 is like 1/3000000th of rooters anyways). if you are experiancing problems, you need to do more troubleshooting than stock. this is actually good though, because my dad's phone is messed up, and the only thing he can do to fix it is ruu. thats it. i can change roms, diagnose, replace apks, anything. also, you need some time on your hands.

5: the security they are talking about is from you. yes, if you turn off your nand protection (root) then you are more easily succeptible to viruses, but most have rageagainstthecage exploit anyways, which would let them do the same thing. the downside here is all antivirus and moblile security things will say that you have system viruses. ignore that.

edit: just saw your above post

applanet is piracy, and very risky. most malware and viruses come from things liek that.

and for your question there \/. unrevoked is pretty self explanitory. just install and uninstall htc sync, install drivers, and run the program.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_mic_only:
also, link me to the easiest walkthrough of unrevoked if u can?

and i downloaded the drivers, i need sync too then uninstall it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwardC:
Only my oppinion... Best instructions are posted on the unrevoked site.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Follow these and you'll be fine.

-Install modified windows hboot drivers

-Install htc sync, immediately uninstall it

-On your phone, enable usb debugging [menu>settings>applications>development]

-Connect your phone in charge only, run unrevoked [will show up as reflash_package on your pc]

Let it run its full course, will take ~5 minutes, and reboot twice.

Just got my Arc today. Connect up via wifi to various diff sources, same issue. After approx 2 mins, signal bars for wifi remain static, never move and connection issues occur. This happens on anything from market, web, gmail etc.

Repeatable on various diff routers, only way to recover is turn off wifi and reactivate it, then it will last another 2 mins.

Checked and running latest firmware. Faulty device?

Hi there. yes i have the same problem with my arc.... but not allways, yesterday when i was on market,downloading its stops at 40% and thats it, i must turn off wifi and turn back on, that will help..but after few minutes (downloading,browsing,facebook) it again stops,and again the same. But its not allways after 2 mins... one time is working fine without problems even one day is ok ,and sometimes is doing this. yesterday i get a error from arc something like that " error parsing packets" . And what i have noticed on 3G is doing the same, i tried to download yesterday the same file with 3G conection and it stops again. So i think this is not only wifi problem...i dont know.any clues?sugestions? sorry for my english xd

im at work atm.
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
The WiFi is pretty well known already, it happens also to me and quite a few other owners of the Arc. From my experience it is related to Youtube application or video playing/flash pages because most often it occurs when using them.

Sometimes I would be able to use the WiFi connection for more than a day without issue, while other times it stops working twice in 5 minutes. Pretty weird behavior, but I'm guessing it is a combination of a software issue and the newer support for draft n wireless connection.

If you are a current T-Mobile customer you can get a free unlock code from them but you have to contact them and tell them you need a code because you want to use your HD2 with another carrier. If you are not a T-Mobile customer you will have to buy a code from one ofcthe many sellers on the internet.

Also HSPL only unlocks your HD2 so you can flash custom firmware/software to your HD2. It does not SIM unlock your HD2
