[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] neoslan:
This is probably a more simple explanation.

Disconnect phone and memory card.

Press-hold down button, and press the reset button under battery.

Tri-color bootloader screen appears.

Flash your regular Windows Mobile 6/6.1/6.5 ROM either stock/cooked

For the memory card, Windows Phone 7 Series formatted 200mb in FAT, and the rest is put into a RAID with the phone (basically coupling, to make it seem like one...bad explanation, but should suffice).

To get rid of this RAID configuration, you have to format the memory card. The built-in Windows formatter will not do the trick. Download FDisk or a similar program, and fix the memory card to be one partition for the entire thing.

Wallaa! Sweet Windows Mobile is back!

Geez....Windows Mobile Sense is still the best looking Sense UI. What happened to the classiness? *snicker* Android */snicker*
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Product F(RED):
Software RAID 0, basically which extends the phone partition(s) onto the card, as you said. From a data integrity perspective, it's a pointless method of storing data, especially in computers. For the phone, if the card's FS corrupts, you'll probably need to reset the phone back to factory settings. For computers, it's a little more complicated. It involves two or more hard drives, stringing them together to act as one big drive with combined capacity. If one goes bad, you're f*cked and everything is lost because the data is spread across all of them.

Also, to reformat the card correctly, the easiest way is to pop it into a digital camera and do a low-level format, if you have one.

Hi Guys

Editing or “replacing” Windows Phone 7 downloaded app. Icons is fairly straight forward…a BIG thanks to Julien Schapman for making WP Device Manager public so that we can use the file explorer function on the desktop.

Can anyone help or explain to me how to edit a default rom icon? Something like “Internet Explorer” or “Messaging”. It must be possible somehow. In the TouchXperience group on Facebook, someone posted a picture of “the hack of the day” where this was done. See attached picture.

Please Guys. If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3BrotherJr:
+1 on this!! I believe xbmod achieved in doing so on his wp7 rom for the hd2. Will love to see it on my HD7 as well
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diboze:

It will also feature editing of system tiles :)

Looking also forward to that feature :D

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Bing Map services are limited. There was a chart showing what region that has the service floating around last Dec.

To use the GPS, you need go out, find a clear view of sky and wait for a few minutes for it to lock on.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idhor Naergon:
It's working now, it's just wait :P I had an HD2 with WP7 and GPS synced almost the same time I initiated Maps... On HD7 it doesn't happen, I have to wait a few seconds... BUT it works fine ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
Mine says hspa in settings. Not +. Here are my results. Whats the average on hspa and on plus ? Not sure if im

Getting + speeds or not.

ok...i cant post pic from my phone here. But my average was between 5 and 6.5 mbps. Slow uploads though. Nothing higher than 1.5.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
lame? we are lame because you cant figure out if your phone is working right?

wow.

ok.

well like one said run speed test. compare.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Those are excellent speeds for this phone. You are on HSPA+ for sure, otherwise you'd be getting less than 1-3 Mbps down/0.5-1.0 Mbps up if you were on 3G only.

Also your phone should say "4G" right in the status bar, which is what T-Mobile calls HSPA+.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
I didn't mean the lame comment but I knew it would get me results. I do average between 4 and as high as 11 mbps so the speeds reflect hspa+ I just assumed it would say hspa+ not hspa in my settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I get the 4G icon instead of the H or H+...

Odd...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
This is the expected behaviour. He was talking about the label for "4G" or HSPA+ in settings. HSPA+ is simply T-Mobile's version of 4G. Which, for what it's worth, isn't technically 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The status bar indicator isn't accurate. Side-by-side, my G2 with Mobile Signal PRO shows 3G while the G2X never moves from 4G. Mobile Signal PRO never registers anything above 3G on the G2X which is weird. I have friends that use it on Samsung and HTC phones and it's always spot-on and it's always been accurate on my G2. I think there's something funky going on with the LG radio software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
its propably not fully optimized for the g2x yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
That or mobile signal pro is not optimize for lg radio hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
It works on a friends P990 in the Netherlands so it must be specific to the T-Mobile version of the radio. I e-mailed the dev to find out what's up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
There will not be an H or H+ icon... its 4g... hspa is too many letters for the general public to deal with...

Also, Phoenix does not have 4g yet however I am getting the 4g signal when i am on UMTS.. YOU DONT FOOL ME TMOBILE! I am pretty sure there is not even a 3g icon on our phones, anyone wanna get into the files and look? I am on campus and cannot check this but I think it would be funny if they did not even install a 3g icon lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
What are you smoking Phoenix and Tucson are HSPA+ areas.

I know because I go to Phoenix pretty often and my G2 got hspa+

Edit: Here's proof http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/#marquee-see-4g-coverage
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
...

I'm getting "4G" on my phone here in Tempe (though I understand that isn't technically Phoenix but...) Just curious. Since you are in the same vicinity as I am... What are your average connection speeds? I'm about to a run test for mine as I type this...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
explain to me why i am only getting UMTS then? I am freaking sitting on campus right now...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
haha i really enjoy this school coming from growing up all my life in ohio but the teacher college is a ****ing joke... i cannot believe they pay the administrators at this college...

anyway yea I still only have UMTS at home (just down the street) and out in gilbert where i work... I am pulling about 4mbps right now though at my house at 12:30am...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
The highest mark I got for download speeds here in Tempe, AZ was a little over 5mb (inside my apt bedroom last night sometime around 1am). I honestly feel what the coverage maps tell you is not even worth much of a thought because it doesn't include congestion and network traffic (something that needs to be considered in urban areas)...

Want to know the real problem?.. T-mobile's network in general. You certainly get what you pay for going with the cheaper option out of the carriers. An inferiority most can't really argue about, myself included, due to income... just gotta deal with it I guess. I'm sure most of us didn't choose T-Mobile as a carrier for its flawless line of smartphones and amazing network lol... now that would be silly.

My S200 with HTC Sense Home, suddenly the WiFi internet not working (Stock, Weather, Market Place, Opera and etc).

This problem is happen after i change the SIM Card. i believe the setting is run out from the original setting. Appreciate someone can help to advise this. thanks in advance.

try Reseting S200 to factory default settings.. it works 99% of times.

(note: take backup of your phone contacts to your sd card and remove your sd card before reset)
[neoTouch S200 General] brainmaster:
If you changed your SIM card and your provider, then it can happen that the default configuration for your data connection is not set automatically.

Maybe you need to set your APN for your data connection yourself.
[neoTouch S200 General] acer-user:
Hi Brainmaster.

How to set your APN for data connection yourself?

i used to auto Configure the Internet Connection every time change the sim card follow the profile... since it not work for WIFI to internet.

Appreciate your help.. thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] woaloo:
First, try to restart sence.

Second, see if your wifi is working for internet browsing, for example.

Third, reboot your phone

Four, try to re-apply the assistant (zero configuration setting)

Then, if nothing is working as you want, you can try this:

1. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’ at main screen.

2. Go to ‘Settings’.

3. Select ‘Wireless & networks’

4. Check ‘Mobile network ~ Use phone for data connection when WiFi is unavailable’.

5. Select ”Mobile network ~ Set options for roaming, networks, APNs’.

6. Select ‘Access Point Names’. Note – A blank APNs page will be shown.

7. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’. It will bring up 2 options ~ ‘New APN’ and ‘Reset to default’.

8. Select ‘New APN’.

9. Key in ‘My APN’ by clicking on ‘Name’. Note – you can key in any name you want. I selected ‘My APN’.

10. Key in ‘My APN’ by clicking on ‘APN’. Note – you can key in any APN you want. I selected ‘My APN’.

11. Click on ‘Windows hardware button’.

12. Then click on ‘Save’.

13. Select on ‘My APN’.

14 at very bottom where it says 'apn type....put in 'default'

15....clcik save

16: clear cache, cookies, location access the lot

Maybe, it can help.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeroxy:
This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P

I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).

Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:

I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!

[Vega General] henky92:
Hey guys,

so yesterday I installed corvagusrom, when I plugged in my keyboard the whole thing crashed.

Now when I boot I get a BSOD. The problem is, the tablet is still in usb host mode, so I cannot use the offical advent vega update tool to restore, nor can I use adb.

How can I restore this?
[Vega General] dmarchant:
Booting into recovery using the back and power button sequence bypasses any usb host mode settings as android isn't loading at that point. Then you can recover to stock 1.09 and start again.
[Vega General] henky92:
THanks but i've tried that, however still all i get is a black screen, it somehow won't allow me to start the update tool.

if you research this, the sirius xm app seems to have some type of disable over 3g function so that you cannot use it over 3g. but then people claimed that it started to work, but only for 10 minutes over 3g. some people even posted that they called sirius support, and they were told that this app is specifically blocked from streamign over 3g. so who knows. its a buggy app though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Not my experience at all.

The Sirius app works perfectly on my Thunderbolt (Verizon), my Nexus S (TMobile) and iPhone 4 (AT&T) over 3G/4G connections. I'm listening to Srius's Dr Radio on the iPhone 4 over a 3G connection right now. I listened to it in the gym on the Thunderbolt for two hours on Tuesday. No noticeable bugs for me.

The app pops up a warning when you're not on WiFi about excessive data charges are possible over cellular data, but it doesn't prevent you from using it.

To the OP - impatience is understandable when you're frustrated, but the xda crowd isn't very tolerant of breaking etiquette...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLoompa:
Im on VirusRom and cannot connect to sirius. Im in a 3g only area with no available wifi anywhere nearby. The sirius app just keeps acting like its loading, and thats all it does, it never starts streaming for me.

I'm pretty sure its the Rom I switched to boltofphotons and the app works now
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yes, probably something in your ROM, or you're in a weak 3G signal and something streaming like this taxes it.

Stock phone, and Das BAMF the app works just fine on my Thunderbolt.

Does it stream fine on wifi? How about other streamers like Pandora or the like.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublehoya:
I've got a TB and an Evo. TB is running Liquid 1.0 with the new radios and it works fine for me on both 3G and 4G as of this morning. App is known to be buggy tho- it didn't play nice with the last Evo RUU (3.70) and broke streaming (but was fixable with a hack to proxy settings)- but whether that's Sprint's fault (as Sirius says) or Sirius's fault (as Sprint says), nobody really knows.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLoompa:
Ive seen posts about people on VirusRom not getting sirius to work, Ive seen posts about people on VirusRom that did get sirius to work. Anyone have any ideas about whats up? Any ideas about how to fix it besides switching Roms?

Signal strength is -70 dBm/ 3g only area and no wifi for hundreds of miles from me. I also use a dual band signal booster in my home. And apps like Pandora do work for me. I just cant stand Pandora.
[General Questions and Answers] droid_does:
Hiya dudes,

I'm thinking of changing network up here in china.

China Mobile a network operator offers unlimited GPRS data for quite a cheap price every month on a 1 year contract.

is it really unlimited? I've read that when a company says "unlimited" it has a soft cap of 2GB or something? :confused:

and what is GPRS and EDGE? I've heard those terms before but I'm confused as this is my first ever smartphone
[General Questions and Answers] meltwater:
I've no idea about China network operators, but here in the UK, unlimited is always tied in with "fair usage" limit, which will be defined in the contract. Make sure you check this when comparing contracts. Also check out the charges if you go over this "fair usage" too or if you get a warning or shut off.

Also, it is quite common for operators to also "throttle" your connection - adjust the speed, at different times, or if you use it a lot and in busy locations. Also it has become common for the data-rates to be reduced, even after you've signed up and are out of the trial period. This is to ensure they can serve everyone (and depending on your point of view to over-sell their service and make more money...).

Basically, make sure you understand what you are getting, since although they all state "unlimited" they tend to do what they like to control what data you use.

------------------

Personally, I think operators need to clean their act up on this, or the regulators need to step in and stop them from cheating customers with false claims. How can the term "unlimited" be used when it is not, after all "fair use" of something which is sold as "unlimited" is...erm..."unlimited" use. Perhaps customers can pay a "fair bill" when they consider they've not used it much this month...

-------------------

Quick google of GPRS and EDGE (you can add 3G/4G too): http://blog.ruggedandmobile.com/2010/01/26/a-guide-on-the-difference-between-gprs-edge-3g-and-hsdpa/

Overall, it is the speed of your connection and GPRS is the slowest.

[General Questions and Answers] jonny68:
I don't know of any mobile operator in Ireland either where unlimited data really is "truly unlimited" same as in UK although there is one mobile operator in UK who i am going to move to from T-Mobile (i have both Irish and UK SIM's as i travel regularly between the two) that is http://giffgaff.com/ in fact they are the cheapest of them all by all accounts.

What these companies are doing is not right, by stating that it is "unlimited data" that is exactly what it should be no fair usage policy or any of that boll*cks, hopefully something will be done about this in the future.
