[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
What I really really want to know is if having a rooted xoom and an overclock kernel excludes me from the update or makes me incompatible.

I have seen people say that as soon as they reverted to stock they received the update. I also know that rooted users cash manually install it through adb but I don't have experience with that and would rather do something easier.

In essence if I wait long enough, can I still get 3.1 OTA even though rooted, etc etc?
[Xoom General] dscribe:
If you are rooted, the OTA update will fail on install when it comes. You can either 1) Go back to stock and wait or, 2) Do the install methods available for rooted users in the Development section.
[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
thank you. Over to the development section it its then...
[Xoom General] GokuH12:
I want that button get pressed now hahaha
[Xoom General] Lodans:
I was rooted and had a non stock kernel - I received a message letting me know that an update was available so I chose to install it. It failed and I had to do the volume up and power button to get out of it. I then went back to stock and relocked it. I have been waiting for a couple of hours and still have not received the message again. I am bummed.
[Xoom General] 06types:
ill push the button. I don't like waiting!:cool:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
after having trouble connecting to some of my cellular provider services, i have found that no matter what i enter in the User/Pass configuration in the APN settings, its always using the same User/Pass, which is

user: NotUsed@nobody.com

password: NotUsed

after few searches, i have found that the atrix is using the user and password that configured at the file: /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options

so no matter what is configured at the APN setting, it will always use the config from the file...

i do have the ability to edit the default user and password in the file, but still i cannot use more then one user and password...(i've also tried write a '#' before these lines, but it didn't worked out....)

this limitation is quite annoying, first because it's just limiting me! and specially because my cellular provider is using few APN's with different user and passwords....

so i have to use more then one....

is there anyway to bypass that file? so the atrix will use the actual user and password i have configured in the APN settings?

tnx!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
?

That's very strange. I have mine configured with the Claro AR APN, and I don't have the issue you describe. User clarogprs and password clarogprs999. Its working fine, with no data issues.

BTW I have 4.1.8.3 with latest Gingerblur.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ririal:
How are you checking what user/password is being used?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhurtado:
There is several methods to authenticate users, that are stronger than the APN user and password, so many networks just don't use it... so in many networks this wont be an issue...

Just downloaded the file onto my external then used the myfiles to open and install. Works like a charm.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Define "works." Works as in you're able to sign-in to your Netflix account, purchase movies, and then watch them? Netflix has always worked on various phones but no one using an APK version has ever been able to connect to the Netflix servers and actually do anything. It'll be great if it does in fact work on the SGS2.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
I was able to pull the APK from a coworker. Installed and logged in fine. Video play back starts and everything is played back at high speed. Sounds like chimpmunks. I looked through the apk and don't really see anything that can change playback speed. Anyone think they can fix?

yeah i got chimpmunk sound too.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:

chipmunk over here as well, was searching for a fix and ended up with this thread... hopefully we can find a workaround, we are soooo close
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] voodoomurphy:
"chipmunk sound" is misleading. It's not just that the sound is sped up, but the entire playback speed is too high. This has to be a decoding issue.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] superscientific:
Crashes on Stock 347 when trying to load a file. It looks like its going to play then goes right back to home. Damn!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] xilpaxim:
It could just be that Netflix's mobile servers are being pounded right now. I have a hard time getting in at first, then it didn't want to play something, then did.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] p_razzi:
No chipmunks here - just a total device crash when trying to play anything. (1.9)

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] tenorntex:
I was able to get clear normal sound out of it. but no video. I am on 351. I am testing it on 3g currently. I will update when i get to my wifi connection to see if it works better then.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
im on streakdroid 1.9 baseband 318, 200 pixel density, on 3g or wifi i get no crashes just very fast video and chipmunk sound.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] superscientific:
I don't think it is the server. I have tried on my stock ROM on wifi and 3G and same thing happens. It looks like it is going to load the video and shows the text on the bottom then it crashes back to the home netflix screen. I hope someone can find a workaround!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] waichai:

i can confirm changing these in your /system/build.prop fixes the speed issue:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
After today's expected launch went without an event, I contacted Verizon.

Here is the link to the about page for VP and Chief Marketing Officer, Marni Walden.

http://bit.ly/iAKpSp﻿

I sent her the following letter (click the link at the bottom of her page)

Ms. Walden,

I am contacting you as a very disgusted customer. Since last fall, I have been waiting for Verizon to release a Windows Phone 7 device. I learned in the fall that this device would not be available on the CDMA networks, and as a software developer, I understand how Microsoft had not yet implemented support for it. However, Verizon has been stringing its customers along for about five months now with the implied promise of a Windows Phone 7 device, yet has not delivered.

In December, VZW advertized to Microsoft employees the Trophy, and it promised an "Early 2011" delivery. That offer had an expiration date of 12/31/2010, although that delivery has been pushed back to March, April, and May, and the delivery time range has been removed from the flier.

On March 23 the CDMA Sprint HTC Arrive was released. CDMA support was finally here. But Verizon dragged its feet. An April launch was expected, because despite the tight lips at Verizon, pictures were leaked of a Verizon branded Trophy, as well as an April expiration date on the Microsoft employee offer. That came and went. Now two Thursdays in May have come and gone without the device that many of us are waiting for.

You are not doing anything but making customers angry by dragging your feet, not releasing the device, and not giving us a release date. You are holding on to a phone that was available in Europe last October, albeit without CDMA support. Which means if you wait much longer you will be releasing a year-old phone. Do you think it is all right to treat your customers like this? Are you that ticked off at Microsoft over the failure of the Kin that you are willing to drag your customers who want the Windows Phone through the mud like this?

It is high time for whomever at Verizon is throwing the temper tantrum about the Kin to get over it, and give us the phone we want. I don't want one of the 47 different Android phones you now carry. I don't want the iPhone. I and many well-informed consumers like me, want a Windows Phone 7 device. Please quit holding us hostage.

Sincerely,

Richard Hopkins﻿
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danagibson:
Verizon frustrating

I've talked to many salespeople about what signs there are of the Trophy being released. The general consensus is that the rumor start a month before the device is available and training is done a week before. None of these things have happened for the Windows Phone 7 device. There are two blank spots at Costco for two new devices.........maybe.....?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
A dummy device was spotted at Best Buy this week. http://bit.ly/iig3Sr

XBox Live had a Verizon Trophy theme for download yesterday (since pulled) http://bit.ly/mTOJbU

Verizon employee training started two weeks ago. http://bit.ly/itTXms

The phone is currently on Bestbuy.com, and can be placed in shopping cart, but order cannot yet be completed. http://bit.ly/mbk04A

Press shots have been leaked http://bit.ly/m3wCia

Verizon is excited to offer Win Phone 7 http://cnet.co/erI5Wp

I'm not sure how much louder the rumors could get, to be honest.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danagibson:
Encouragement

Just talked to another Verizon guy and he said training was last week. Asked the Costco people and they said they "hoped" that one of the spaces was for the Trophy.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
You're going to learn very little if anything at all by canvasing the VZW employees and retailers. They can (and often do) lose their jobs for letting information out. And since they often do leak, they are often kept more in the dark than those of us who know how to use Twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopmedic:
I just had a nice chat with Lachelle at Verizon Wireless. I voiced all of the concerns I've had, blah blah blah.

Among the things she said:

1. We can't give out release dates for our phones because it affects our competitiveness. My response: You announced on Feb 11 that you were going to carry iPhone, release in a month. You gave a month notice, and you launched on time. How competitive are you on this platform if you're the only major carrier in the world (with supported language) that doesn't have a phone on the platform? You have like 47 different Android models, but not everyone wants Android.

2. I will pass your comments on to our marketing department so they can look into whether we should carry this phone. My response: You WILL be carrying this device. You have made a special offer to Microsoft employees, and have modified that offer at least 3 times that I can think of off the top of my head. A dummy device has been spotted in a Best Buy store, and I've seen pictures of it online (I forgot to tell her it is listed on bestbuy.com). Your store employees have been trained on it. Verizon branded devices have been seen in the wild (I forgot to tell her about the one on craigslist). You're on the edge of launching, and granted, all I've got are rumors, but the photographic evidence to back those rumors is overwhelming. You are frustrating your customers by keeping this so tightly under wraps. The whole world, except for Verizon employees it seems, knows that there is a device coming, and the lack of information is frustrating your customers. I stayed with Verizon, and gave you until the 12th, because the most powerful evidence of a launch seemed to point at the 12th, but I NEED the phone now, so today I became an ATT customer, and I'm talking to you on an ATT phone.

Anyway, she gave me the typical "I'm going to pass this up to marketing" blah blah blah and "thank you for your feedback because it helps us to keep our customers happy blah blah blah." She also said that the more they hear from customers, the more attention they can give this issue. WRITE THOSE LETTERS!

We'll see what happens. I'm kind of hoping, since there is a droid phone launching tomorrow, that it may be tomorrow, however that is just speculation on my part and I have no evidence to back it up whatsoever. ﻿
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuiCunha:
Hey guys,

First sorry to open a new topic..

Second because a question is too weird...:confused:

Well, Im from Brazil, so, my X10 is:

X10a

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Band Base: 2.0.46

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504

So I decided to upgrade to another room, Froyo 2.2 follow steps from xda. I did and everything fine. After waiting sync contacts from my google accounts (that is pretty beautiful stuff :D), something is wrong. All my contacts have phone number like that: Operatorprefix(Tim)+(citycode)+phonenumber.

My Operator is TIM, so 041

My city code is 61

Example my number: 12345678

Than my own contact is that at mobile fielder: 0416112345678

If i used the default room, if somebody on my contact phonebook sent me a sms, i received as well, and shows me Name and phone number, pretty beautiful like has to be. If i changed room to Froyo or [Cyanogen6.1.3] the same contact sent me a sms it shows: 061phonenumber instead 04161phonenumber. In another words, it isnt recognize my contact. It isnt identify the full number or contact. But the contact is there. It isnt a contact problem, it happens with all contacts. If any contact call me, it recoginze as a contact...

Why does this happen?

Thanks in advanced, and sorry about my English.

hello .. be nice this is my first post !!

i recently came into the possesion of one of these little phones .. however i had no intentions of using this on t-mobile and wished to unlock the phone to be able to use on o2 .. however .. after following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853674 which seems to have done the trick as the t-mobile gumpf has disappeared when turning the phone on but now i have a screen that asks for sim network unlock pin to which i dont have one and dont know where to obtain one .. i dismiss it and it takes me to the home page .. wifi works perfectly but i cant send or receive both text messages and calls apart from emergency ones !! .. i have since purchased another tmobile chip and the sim network unlock pin screen is no longer there and would appear to have a signal and two arrows pointing up and down and the g changes back and forth with an h .. but still no calls or texts .. can someone please tell me that i havent killed the phone and there is a fix !! .. i will admit i am a complete newbie to all this so go gentley !!

if the phone was blocked by the network what would my symptoms be .. only asking as im paranoid that i may have been sold a dud phone !!

many thanks in advance

chris !!
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
Hi and welcome to the forums :)

Unfortunately, I don't think the thread you linked has anything to do with being able to use a SIM card from another network on your phone. If I'm not mistaken it's more for removing the splash screen (eg. the T-Mobile one when you start up the phone) and also to get rid of the custom apps that networks like putting on their phones.

What you want is an "UNLOCK" code that you can either get online or obtain from T-Mob themselves - I've not done it personally before but you may have to shell out some cash for the code.

Have you tried using the original SIM card that the phone came with?

P.S. The changing G and H with the two arrows are related to the Mobile Data Connection being used by your phone. The arrow pointing up being upload, and down being download.
[Defy General] fatboyateallthepies:
ah ok .. hense my newbie ness !! .. oh ok .. i thought that meant it would unblock the phone to be able to use on any network !!

i dont have the original sim .. but when putting the o2 sim in i dont get the g & h or the arrows .. and the little graph that shows the reception !! .. however when i put the "new" t-mobile chip in .. it all appears but still unable to make calls etc !! .. just a bit confused as to why the phone doesnt work on t-mobile !!

thanks for the welcome !!
[Defy General] fatboyateallthepies:
for some reason i thought id change the network on the phone to orange and it seems to be working ?? .. am i missing something ??
[Defy General] fatboyateallthepies:
then soon to stop working again .. since found out the phone has been blacklisted .. so it looks as though ive been sold a dud .. is there anything i can do to get the phone working again ??
[Defy General] scrannel:
Extremely unclear what you are trying to do. "Blacklisted"? By whom and how? I don't even know what that means.

If you want to unlock your phone to use on any GSM network, as LetoKynes said above, you need an unlock code. Buy one online and when your phone asks for the code, enter it.
[Defy General] fatboyateallthepies:
i was trying to unlock it to use on any network .. but then found out u the unlock code .. so as i was eager to crack on and use the phone i bought a sim to match the network it was on .. it was working fine but then suddenly stopped working .. i rang the network and the phone has since been reported lost so its been blacklisted !! .. and as i purchased the phone recently i guess ive been had over .. as i am unable to give the original owners details !! .. pretty gutted !! .. still the wifi still works ok !!!

makes searching a lot easier. You think you could pass this through as

well?

Gentlemen,

I'm not the developer of SGS Tools, just an ex-captivate owner who used it extensively.

Those of you familiar with this great app will be happy to know the "secret codes" that worked on the Captivate, also work on our new S2s.

I just set my phone to lock on to the 850 band. I haven't tested all the codes, but everyone I tried worked.

SGS tools is in the market.

Those of you who haven't heard of or used SGS tools, be warned:

Many of the utilities/apps/actions available are ONLY for the Galaxy S/Captivate
