No this is not limited to wp7, this happened on iOS and then on android as well. This seems to be how they operate and since I do not have my phone right now and will have to reload all my apps I am sure I will get stuck with the downgraded free app.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
If that's the way they go now, I'm pretty sure they check the version of the app we use and if it's not the limited free version, they'll just refuse the service.

I read a shazaam feature is coming with Mango. It will be built into Zune, Shazaam wont be needed anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Yeah, Bing Audio. The question is just, if it's as good as Shazam is. Seeing that bing maps doesn't even support most of the countries in Europe. Works pretty well for larger cities in Germany, but there's still lots of unknown places. If Bing Audio ends up the same, I'm afraid it won't be any thread to services like Shazam. But we'll see. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
If Bing Audio is as ****ty as Bing Map is in my country I suppose it will be mediocre and we will still need Shazam for a long time.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I will not update Shazam.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Word on different forums is that if you have installed the free Shazam app before May 11th, you will have no tagging limit. That was supposed to be some sort of launch bonus. I haven't tried it yet after I installed the update. But I'll do so tomorrow and report back.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I did, and indeed I have no tagging limit.

So you mean, if ever I update Shazam - and only if I update - then the limit will appear?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
No, I think it has to do with your original "purchase" (install) date, not the date of the version currently installed. If you locked in prior to the change, you should always have free tagging. You just won't have the rest of the new features of Encore (which do sound pretty nice - but still not worth $6 to me).

I downloaded the update this morning, and I don't see any limits appearing in the app so far. My original install date was January 5th.

[Edit] Correction -

Apparently if you originally downloaded prior to the change, you also get some of the Encore features. From the Marketplace description of the free version:

Start your music journey and enjoy Shazam to:

• Identify what song is playing and buy the track direct on Zune Marketplace

• Read album reviews, artist biographies and discographies

• Watch YouTube videos for tagged artists from within the App

• View lyrics and sing along to tagged tracks

• Sort tags by date, artist and track

• Store your tagged tracks and easily view your tag history

This App gives you 5 Tags per month*. For unlimited tagging and exclusive features try our premium App – Encore.

*If you’ve been using Shazam on your current Windows Phone 7 phone since before May 11, 2011, you’re still entitled to unlimited tagging.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Thanks RoboDad for this very detailed answer.

One more question, since you updated, is Shazam located in the Game Hub?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Yeah, something is wrong somewhere. It shows up in both the app list AND games hub for me. But, I had previously pinned it to Start, and that link no longer works. And to aggravate things even more, I can't pin the new version to Start at all. I assume they'll fix it soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Many thanks. One more good reason not to update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avandor:
Since the update it movied out of the app list and onto the Games Hub... had to repin it (from inside Games Hub).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Am I the only one to think that Shazam's attitude is not very fair?

Basically, Shazam is proposing an update that will actually limit your app and make it worse (e.g. tag limitation, app installed in the game hub, etc.)

Their goal being to make you purchase their $5.99 version.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
It's their program, they can do this if they choose. ATT used to charge a monthly fee for this type of service. Do they still do that? It's still functional as a trial app though.

The game Triangula did the same thing. It was a free game with no ads.

The most recent update, added ads to the free version and required you pay to get the updates and go ads free.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
I think you miss some major points here. Triangula is fully playable, even with adds. Shazam on the other hand is barely usable upon its limitation to just 5 tags a month. Triangula full comes for what? Like 1.99? Shazam goes for 4 bucks more. So it's extremely cut in its functionality while costing 3 times as much as Triangula.

Of course it's their product and they can do whatever they want to. But I believe they're gonna lose a whole lot of customers this way.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
D'oh! You're right, of course. I was trying to pin from the [defunct] shortcut in the app list. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Not to pick nits (OK, so I like to pick nits, so sue me ;)), but that isn't quite the way things went down with Triangula (or with Shazam, for that matter).

If you had already downloaded the free version of the game before the paid version came out, you got a free upgrade to the paid, ad-free, deluxe version. Well, at least I did :).

And it's the same with Shazam. Users who secured their "purchase" of the free version prior to the release of the premium version still get unlimited tagging. So no one is losing anything. If someone didn't take the time to download the app prior to the change, then they never had the promise of free, unlimited tagging.

And, as has already been mentioned, this is no different from the way the app is already marketed on Android and iOS, so it isn't exactly news.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
mine dissapeared from my app list and is NOT found in the games hub but when I find shazam on the marketplace on my phone, it just gives the option to share (as if it was already installed) this happened after the update. It is as if it is installed in a repository that is unable to be reached by windows phone (or the shortcut was broken by the update). Anyone else experience this?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badcam3:
I cant even find it in the marketplace anymore 0.o on my pc and on my phone its not even their. Is it not their for anyone else?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It's still there. It's just been temporarily disabled from Zune searches/installs, most likely while they fix the games hub bug.

Here's the direct Zune link.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
I was also unable to update Shazam. So I uninstalled it and was going to install it again, but then found out that it has been temporarily pulled from the Marketplace.

I've had Shazam on my Omnia 7 since December 2010. So that means that I will still get unlimited tagging when I am able to re-download the app again, right?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Yes, right.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmnbob:
Can't find shazam in Market

I tried to update versions last week and the marketplace wouldn't update Shazam..message was something about not available. I thought I would delete the version on my phone and then reinstall it to get the lastest version. After deleting that version of Shazam I can't find Shazam in the market on the phone. When I go to the Shazam site and they push me to the Zune Marketplace there is no link to download the app.

Thought?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTI WR6:
We just have to wait and see what Shazam is actually upto.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avandor:
They messed up and are probably trying to figured it out (honestly, its taken too long)... till then, don't update or delete your old Shazam.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neogodless:
I had the free Shazam. A few days ago an "update" was available but it wouldn't update. "The information isn't available at this time."

I did a reset because I installed a 32GB card, and the app is gone (naturally). I can see it from the direct Zune link, but there's no where to click "install" here, either. I can't find the paid app either. Fingers crossed that Bing Audio is awesome?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theusername:
On Shazam's Facebook page it says that they are having some issues with the Windows Phone 7 app, but it will be back shortly. They also say that the unlimited tagging will remain for all the current users that have it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triangulator:
Triangula is only $0.99.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singularity0821:
Shazam is back in the store - now it's installed in the app category again but other than that it doesn't look as if anything has changed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delta-flasher:
is it now working well?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peew971:
Something has changed. Even if you bought the app ages ago you lose unlimited tagging. I know, I've tried it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avandor:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bigz1982:
Hello XDA folks, Im a true noob at this flashing ROM stuff. I followed the [ClockWorkMod] for the SGS4G Public Beta 3 [05/12/2011] thread. To a "T" so I thought I replaced the recovery binary and rebooted the phone and put the update.zip file on the sd and once i booted into recovery all I get is the Glaxaxy S TM. 4g boot up screen is there a way to fix this any plz help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Did you actually get into the recovery screen? It will be blue text, stock recovery.

Then from there you will click the volume down button to highlight Reinstall Packages and once you click that it will boot into CWM.

Was the update.zip file you put on your SD the CWM Beta 3 zip? Just clarifying, because I believe that is what you were saying.

Also how are you booting into recovery? There are few ways to accomplish this.

With the phone off, hold the two volume buttons (up and down) and then press the power button.

When the Galaxy S 4G screen appears you can let go of power but continue holding the volume buttons till it loads into recovery (blue text).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elry567:
I accidentally did.that yesterday I just reflashed stock rom with odin and it got fixed

[G Tablet General] suvroadrage:
"ubergizmo.com" has a posting about a new Viewsonic 7 with Honeycomb and Tegra 2. (Sorry not eligible to post links yet)

Is this going to be something the devs can work with? Or are the internal components going to be that dramatically different from our gTablets that is it like comparing apples to oranges?

Moderators please remove if a double post.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I would think that it would depend on who the manufacturere is. If it's Malata, then I could see devs having something to use, but it it's not, then it might be more work than it's worth. VS isn't a manufacturer, just a rebrander. They put their name on something, and sell it as if it's theirs.

BUT, since they'll be getting honeycomb, then that means that they might have the blessing of Google, which could open the door, for at least an official market access. Not that it's too important for us, since the great devs here have already figured out numorous fixes for it. An official one, though, might make things a bit easier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Little_Ant:
I haven't seen this anywhere else on these forums, so i figured i'd post this potentially useful info. Using the stock AC charger that comes with the inspire in conjunction with the Current Widget App, i have been recording the time it takes to charge the inspire over a variety of start conditions. I consider 100% full when current widget reports 0mA charging. I then took that data and plotted it with a corresponding trend line. There is of course a bit of variance due to any given percentage being associated with a range of current values, but the formula listed will give you a surprisingly precise ETA to charge your phone to full from any given start point. I hope this is somewhat useful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Little_Ant:
FYI -

As you can see from the graph, there is a significant discontinuity from the zero point near 100% charge. This is due to the fact that i am using Current Widget to monitor when no more current is being delivered to the battery, coupled with a decreased current delivery from the Inspire 4G at higher battery percentages. This is a built in safety feature to slowly "top off" the battery near maximum to prevent damage to the battery from excess charge.

Basically, just because your phone says 100%, doesn't mean that it's completely, and totally, full of charge. The current widget shows the Inspire continue to charge (non-zero numbers) for about an HOUR after hitting 100%.

So if you simply want to see 99 or 100% in the display, subtract an hour from the charge time. IE, the formula would be TimeToCharge ~= -2.122*(current battery percent)+240.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSuinit:
I can use the Odic OCD to return to stock 2.1 firmware no problem. However I can ONLY use the final-REV0 version of the Odin OCD. I have another version but it doesn't work. It will run through the downloading screen, download the files say PASS! and then it won't go past the AT&T globe boot screen. I don't understand why this is happening? Also if I root the phone (which is always successful) load up CWM and try to install a custom ROM, it does the same thing. :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
stay with what works for you, since cappy has different build numbers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
for the custom roms clear dalvik cache.

also there are 2 ocd versions one is a froyo internal beta and is buried somewhere deep in the pages of the development section so any reference to ocd is assumed to be the 2.1 jf6 version. other than that it is not a ocd(one click downloader) but is a full version of odin.

you should have odin3 v1.7 for flashing the captivate if you choose not to use the one click version. also dont click repartition if you dont have the pit file in place. and if you have the pit file and you select repartition you need to make sure you are not flashing a rom that lacks .rfs images for data or dbdata or other.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSuinit:
Here is what I did, step by step.

Bought my phone 3 months ago

Opened I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of ODIN OCD.

Held down volume buttons

Plugged in phone

Booted to download.

Hit start button in I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of the ODIN OCD

Waited for the phone to reboot, I didn't even touch the phone until it was done, and in ECLAIR.

Phone info shows:

Firmware version:

2.1-update1

Baseband version:

I897UCJF6

Kernel version:

2.6.29

jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number:

ECLAIR

Went into settings, and turned on Debug

Ran Master clear in I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 version of ODIN OCD.

Restart phone

Boot into recovery

Root phone....successful

Boot into recovery

Load CWM (it's weird though, after I loaded into the recovery menu and hit re-install packages instead of jumping straight into CWM it restarted the phone, I had to go back into recovery and hit re-install packages again, and then it loaded CWM)

Install .zip from SD

Choose .zip form SD

Install Serendipity.zip

Install ran

(IN CWM)

Go back

Go back

Reboot phone (select)

Phone shuts off, turns on, shows ATT globe screen, and won't go any farther. I have let it sit for 3 hours once. Nothing. I can no longer go into recovery, but I CAN go to Download. This process has been going on for the last day and a half. I have tried different ROMs and even tried going to GB. Am I really stuck with a rooted 2.1 ECLAIR Cappy? Even though when I bought the phone it had Froyo on it?

Not sure if this will help but there's an app called Gsaver (there are other's as well).

Hello!

Just a simple question:

is it possible to add password for access into MAGLDR options? Because if somebody will find my phone and just reboot , that person can reset or copy-reset everything without problem...

It's similar in a PC for a BIOS setting, you can protect it with a password..

Thanks

Bye
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 10507:
You should PM/Email Cotulla or DFT about this. They are the developer for MAGLDR. If asked they may put this password function in the upcoming version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gear_rus:
Interesting... but I dont see the point, cuz I cant really remember any phone with a protection of bootloader. People who could have wanted to erase everything just didnt know how to get there :D And.. How are we supposed to enter a password?:confused: And you cant really put a password on a tri-color bootloader also, from there you can also erase everything and reflash

Correct me if I dont get it right
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
The OP has brought up a valid point in my opinion, but you have a pretty interesting point too. I do not know though if you are running Win Mo and have a security code set if you would have to enter the security code befor gaining access to bootloader or not. If I still had Win Mo on my HD2 I would test this but I really do not feel like having to re flash cLK, CWM and my Android ROM just to test it so if someone running Win Mo wants to test this I would love to know the results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
As I remember from WinMo 6.5, if someone wanted to do factory reset from within the OS he should enter a code, else someone could easy do factory reset from bootloader without password.

SPL cannot be locked by a password. The only security that can be developed for SPL is a combination of key that will make it able to boot into it (and a config if possible so each user use their own combination).

MAGLDR Lock. Same as SPL, if someone wants to flash a new ROM via DAF installer or use CWM, should use a key combination to allow that.

cLK Lock

1st) When on PC. Password acting like "super user" in linux to allow access to specific commands that can harm mostly boot and system partition

2nd) Home key to enter in "standby CWM Mode" and once a key combination is made to enter CWM.

A little security secret that many of us know but not many are using. If you install an app in system partition (using adb or shell) it will remain there after a factory reset (either from within Android or CWM).

Most anti-theft apps have the advantage to become "device administrator" which make it possible to remain to your phone after a factory reset.

So if you have an anti-theft app that doesn't have the "device administrator" feature, you can always move the app to system partition - however I do not know how it is possible to keep the information that someone input in those apps :( .

Anyway... This is, I think, the best way to do it...
