Hi,

When I look on internet with this, some sites dont show fully. Even with different view settings I cant see left and right sides fully or scroll to the sides fully?

One example site, but not the only one is.

SCOOPON.CO.UK

[Touch 3G General] aussie_boi:
Hmm, what browser are you using? Is the problem occurring with a standard rom?
[Touch 3G General] cliveawalsh:
yes

Yes, I believe it is. I got it second hand tho but it seems standard compared to others I have seen??

Its very odd but more odd is the thing keep waking up. Its killing the battery
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlindWolf8:
Hey all,

I have a Nexus S (GT-I9020) and an old Netgear WNDR3300 router which I put DD-WRT on.

If I connect directly to the router, I get an IP address and everything. I'm able to browse the Internet/market from the phone and my signal bars turn green, which means everything's syncing fine with Google's servers.

However, if I put an EnGenius EAP9550 between the phone and the router, (used to repeat/extend the signal) I'm not able to browse the Internet/market or get green signal bars from the phone. I do, however, get an IP address. I have a laptop (which I'm currently on) that is using the EAP9550 without issue, so I'm a bit perplexed if this is a Google/Samsung issue or an EnGenius issue.

Does anyone have any issues with the Nexus S and any signal repeaters?

Thanks all!

Hi. I installed the cyanogenmod 7 on my LG p500.I love it verymuch.but my battery is draining so heavily.is there any way to fix it,?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
I used Juice Defender and it helps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
undoubtedly either android 2.3.3 or cyanogen mod eats battery more than usual, in their official builds (nexus one for 2.3.3 / htc desire for cyanogen mod 7)

and you're prolly using unofficial builds and there might be more battery drain than usual.

you should have considered this and i dont think any of the developers didnt told you on their posts.

of course apps like juice defender or battery doctor etc. are good

but if you hate ur liberty being controlled by those dumb apps (i do), just control your data/wifi usage well, make suitable overclock profiles, or buy an extended battery physically. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratheeshraj:
K.

Can anyone tell me the best rom(both froyo and gingerbread) to get the maximum battery life.?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
Froyo ROM - devoid.franco + franco.Kernel.v14

GingerBread ROM - the one by andy
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratheeshraj:
What about stock rom?is devoid.Franco better than stock rom especially for battery life? Gingerbread by Andy? What's that? Is it other name of Mick's cm7 mod?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] darksilk:
i have the same problem.. actually i update to the last cm7 cuz with the last "stable release" my battery get down from nite to morning 30% o.o... but with the update now is just 6%... anyway while im using my phone my battery drain so fast but like you.. i like a lot cm7

if this continue like this imma change to devoid franco
[Optimus One, P500, V General] agzorig:
void/devoid

for what it's worth, void #echo or devoid.franco + franco.Kernel proves quite good as far as battery life is concerned.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] darksilk:
yep, i had been reading that kind of comments about franco's rom.. i think i have to try it, all the ppl always say wonderful things about this rom and im really tempted to use =D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
So here goes...

Well i realise this with every rom I use. Standby gives 1% per hour. I know not as good as most, but yea. However, with wifi on and browsing for 40 minutes, its already 8%. It aint really enough for me since I spend so much time here.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Manoc:
So far I used

- stock ROM: bad performance, batt - dont remember

- megatron with its kernel (2.2): absolutely best batt, 0-1% of battery drain per overnight (wifi off, data off, gps off); good performance; might be unstable

- LOL 1.4.2 with its own kernel mix (2.2.2): fair battery life and performance

-devoid and void with franco kernel (#14 it was then): not so much satisfied with batt. or performance in live or in quadrant test (sorry franco, i could not understand why it is so...)

- jince : very smooth ROM for everyday use; batt is little bit worsethat Megatron or LOL (5-9% overnight, all off; however ither reported better batt. life).

My choise for battery - Megatron v1 (with it's kernel) :cool:

PS. currently testing megatron ROM with Franco 18.1 kernel. Will post results.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
Megatron rocks but its not as visually appealing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Is anyone pulling higher speeds then 700Kb a second on T-mobile's network? I am in Jacksonville, FL where apparently T-Mobile has recently upgraded the network to 42Mbps. I know that the G2 does not support that top speed, but I figure I should be getting better than 5Mbps when they are advertising 42Mbps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfeen809:
Its all BS, look @ the G2x the highest anyone got was 12mbps and its a 21mbps device as tmo advertised it. And those are the speeds we should be getting on the G2, not even 12 we should be getting even 10mbps, and the highest I've gotten was 9 and was just once in tampa florida, in NY the highest was 8

T-Mobile G2 1.42 GHZ
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Thanks....its good to know I am not the only one.

If its to good to be true then it probably is. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
You're getting better speeds than I am. I normally get around 2-3 or 4 Mbps here in socal. A few weeks ago I was getting speeds of 5-8 Mbps before they turned on the 42Mbps. And I'm on the new Tmo radio too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsenj:
Are you guys seriously complaining about something like this. Do you get on your internet service provider because they say you have 20mbs which I can almost guarantee you clock no where near that on a regular basis? The speeds advertised are all theoretical. Basically in the perfect conditions with no other traffic on the network you could attain the advertised speed. Our phones are actually not capable of the new speeds. They are only capable of the original hspa+ speeds that are advertised as 21mbs and lower. The new devices that they have for mifi and what not are the only ones that can use the new 42mbs. Go to any other carrier and you will find the same result. Its called marketing (4g anyone) and it will be around longer then you and I.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I see nothing wrong with this thread. I'm not even close to what the G2 should be capable of.

Average down for me here in Sac, CA is 3.9 Mbps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
To me, it's not complaining, but more observing. Especially when, my case I was getting better speeds a few weeks ago compared to now. I understand that more people on the network means more draw and therefore lower speeds. However, one would assume that if a carrier comes out with better service/speeds that older devices would benefit, even though they obviously aren't built for it. I think what's happening here is the same that's been going on, at least with T-Mobile, for the last few years: They come out with higher speeds and the new stuff can take advantage until they get a heavier load and then it suffers until they update the back-haul.

Besides, even though XDA is a technology forum site, it's the General and Q&A subforums like this that make it so people are allowed to have a conversation like this, of which I'm grateful. It could get pretty boring just being limited to just talking about ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
uhh?

if this thread is cause of LATELY my G2 Speeds just got LOW AS HEK,than I'm in them 'Complaints".

for some reason out of nowhere, my speeds have gotten super low...like EDGE speeds. I have 4g icon/H icon and it still running like its on edge.

Market apps downloads takes up to 30 minutes to finish and it only works good on wi-fi.

I've changed my ROMS,KERNELS, & Radios and still LOW SPEEDS.

This has bin goin' on for about..a week and a half now..

anyone else experiencing massive low speeds?

Thanks. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiepapi:
What is the new tmobile radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
I pull between 6Mbps and 10Mbps. Just ran test and it was 9.38 down and 1.3 up

Oh and the "upgraded speeds" are only available in 55 markets...not every state in the union
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misbehave:
T-mobile 3G speed is sloooooooow.

But I have no choice and have to keep using it cause I have one of those very old low price family plan that are no longer offered to new customer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
I get these speeds as well, all over Dallas. It's great!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
Not again..

Fellas those speeds are only supported by the tmobile rocket right now.. As advertised.. Not any android device or cellphone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
I don't think you should be locked on 3g....did you try switching radios or wiping the efs?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
Lol you all should be lucky. I'm just outside the 3g/4g area (Kansas city/olathe/lawrence) so I'm stuck on the beautiful EDGE in Leavenworth. Soooooooooo slooooooooow
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliedoo:
I'm getting 2mb/1.4mb in the Anaheim, CA area, close to disneyland (i'm on vacation) and I currently have about 5.5GBs transferred for the month.

I will update again when I get home in a few days. (Portland, OR) I have been getting about 9mb/5mb there on a regular basis.

And for those of you who are having really slow 4G speeds, you might be getting throttled by tmobile for too much data usage.

The system cannot find the file specified

What precedes this section of the file path? and is it the same path on Windows 7?

/Library/Application Support/Windows Phone 7 Connector/Cache/Device Update/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Looks like your trying it on a Mac? Not gonna work :(

You can do it manually. Double check the updatewp.exe command line for a mac and if its the same as a PC then run it updatewp.exe PKSFILEPATH /enablebackup
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mallux:
I'm not. i'm on PC.

Where do i place the file from this page?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11542700&postcount=6
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I put it in the Zune folder and then my command line was:

updatewp.exe /iu "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup

open cmd.exe to the dos prompt and change to the ZUNE folder and then type or copy & paste in the above.

Perhaps I didnt specify this but you will need to unzip that file from the other post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mallux:
Sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you mean :-/

I unzipped the "A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" file

Then, I placed it in the zune folder: C:\Program Files\Zune\

Now I have cmd open, but I don't know what you mean by "change to the ZUNE folder and then type or copy & paste in the above."

What do I change about the Zune folder? and what am I typing into the cmd promt?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
when I say change to the zune folder I mean change the current folder the command prompt is at by typing this:

cd c:\program files\zune and press enter

copy the following text in to the clipboard:

updatewp.exe /iu "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup

Then right click on the command box and choose paste and hit enter.

OR just type the above text in to the command box and hit enter.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mallux:
Well, I got a little further, but I get this message in the cmd:

c:\Program Files\Zune>updatewp.exe "C:\Program Files\Zune\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup

'updatewp.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
There was a prerequisite you needed that I listed. It is the windows phone support tools:

Windows Phone Support Tools:

x64 Windows: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...Tool-amd64.msi

x86 Windows: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...rtTool-x86.msi

updatewp.exe comes from that and is installed in to the zune folder when you install those tools.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mallux:
Nice. Got the backup to work! Thanks for all the help. I'm going to hard reset and see if the backup works :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mallux:
quick question: does the backup process backup everything, including word documents?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
The backup seems to backup anything on the phone.

For instance I used the reg hacks so I could see the phone in explorer. I put a couple of files in the video folder directory as a test and the phone could play them.

Further Zune ignored them and did not consider them as part of the sync process.

When I performed by backup and restore even those files were restored.

I can not speak to folders created that are not part of the normal hierarchy but I suspect that anything on the phone is backed up.

Adding:

I should stress again that this is the same backup that zune performs when you update your device with the update tool. This is just using one of the support tools that offers command line to trigger the backup when you have a legitimate update file. In this case however the program I wrote is terminating the update before it can begin once the backup is performed. So in other words I am just "tricking" the update program in to running and performig the backup.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Mallux,

I just figured out why you were getting that error.

The code checks for the existance of zune and then the support tools specifically by checking for the existance of the files.

The checks do the same thing so I cut & paste the zune check code in for the support tools and didnt change the path to check for updatewp.exe. So basically the code checked for zune twice and then went on.

I fixed the code and updated the DL link in the first post.

Im sure now that you have the support tools installed the code would work as written, or with the new DL link.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andycted:
Hi and congrats for your work (if it works ? hehe, just kidding).

Maybe you would have better feedback in posting this to the dev and hacking section or the software one ?

Just a thought, since here are mostly apps for the phone itself.

Best regards

Andy
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gremmmy:
Ok first off all, I have to thanks for you for your hard work! The tool just worked like a charm. I just used the back-up tool and it succeeded made a backup of my Omnia 7. I'm just wondering a few things:

Is my phone identical the same if I use the backup tool? That means the register changes and installed apps??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I have used the zune update - Restore function and everything was the same. I have several xbox live games and after the restore I was still at the same place in my games. Further my phone is chevron unlocked and remained so after the restore.

Further, I did the reg hacks to see the phone in explorer when zune is closed and put a couple of small vid files in the video folder. Those files did not show up in Zune on my PC or in my collections but the phone could play them just fine. After the restore they were still there too. So from what I can tell the une backup tool backs up the phones memory as it is no matter what is there. I have not tested non-standard folders that are user created though but would assume they would work all the same.

Further a couple of observations:

During development I found I could unplug the phone at any time during the backup process and it would be just fine. No harm.

In Zune when the phone is hooked up I could see the "memory graph" and it had slices in it and hovering over them with the mouse would yield what each slice was... e.g. Videos, Music, pictures etc... I had a large area that said it was reserved for data "from another computer" or some such verbiage. After the restore that was gone and I had a little more memory back for my own use. The slices seemed to be gone too but had no effect on what zune synched etc... Perhaps a full resynch might change it but I havent done that.

**Adding:

Having re-read your post I am now wondering if you are asking if your phone is the same as after the backup as it was prior to the backup? It should be unchanged. The backup process is the same that would occur if you were performing a legitimate carrier update. The process says it transfers the update to the phone but does not execute it until after the backup. My code terminates the updatewp.exe program before that happens so ultimately you might have the 310k file still on your phone in some "updates" folder somewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Very good Software :) Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
I wonder if you can use a NoDo backup for the Mango Beta...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
im not even sure what you mean?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cyruss89:
I want to use a backup created on NoDo and load it in to the Mango Beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Oh you hope you will just get your files and music and whatever back?

Unlikely. The backup is complete meaning that if you were say pre-nodo and performed the backup and then went to nodo you could restore said backup and yo would be pre-nodo again. It seems to be everything os and system state included.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MadSci:
Did I speak too soon?

OK so to be clear - I am still very thankful for the Developer who put this tool together. As posted above, I used to successfully back up my HD7S a while back. Now however I cannot get it to work. I have not changed anything, other than downloading some apps and media via zune and OTA.

It seemed to detect the original backup and asked if I wanted to save or overwrite it. After I selected to save it, the App ran for a second, then stopped and I got an error box saying:

"An error occurred while performing the backup. The error text will be in the clipboard. The error text is:"

And that's it.

On one occasion it said: "Device handshake failed."

I have rebooted both my PC and the phone, the only result being that the "handshake" error disappeared and the blank error message appeared again.

Any ideas what I should do to get it to work again? I feel naked without backups!

Thanks!

MadSci
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Well, you created the backup while being on NoDo and didn't apply any other update (like the Beta-Mango going around here)? Just the usual stuff (downloading apps, ...)? :confused:

The app worked just fine for me ^^

I hope it's able to bring me back NoDo after I installed the Beta-Mango :o
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
This may sound kind of basic but I am pretty sure the phone has to be unlocked.

I JUST got the handshake error and all I did was reboot the phone and it worked when I unlocked the device BEFORE trying to backup.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andw93:
gave an error and say:the error is...and the tex of error is blank...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stevel1987:
Same thing for me on my Samsung Omnia 7 - latest retail - No Unlock

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ruyzalim:
So my friends tell me if im right , using the backup tool it backups automatically our data in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update ?

And to restore it we just have to use Zune ?

is this correct?

many thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LordM:
correct. To recover you can use Zune or this app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
For those of you having difficulty have you tried doing it manually via zune with the command line that has been supplied a few times in this thread? It should be in the second post as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Niiceg:
I have samsung omnia 7 and when i download files and choose pks file location and push back up! I get:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update'.

Okay, tried 1.1 version and it seems to work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shahab2500:
hey guys,

i follow the first post...

but when i hit the (backup phone) it shows an error message that doesnt have any error text

what to do?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Most of the folks I see that are having difficulty are from other countries. I wonder if this is a problem with .NET and localization? I have never written code for a different local before.

The Windows support tools seem to install to %programfiles%\zune. I am using the environment variable for %PROGRAMFILES% and appending \ZUNE to execute it. That has to be the difference
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Try Version 1.1. It seems many who are having difficulties are finding that one works for them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shahab2500:
Sorry, where can i find it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
In the first post... right next to the V1.2 link.

Are you folks Downloading the copies that are spread all over the web and coming here for support?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Niiceg:
1.1 seems to work for me, but where is the back up saved or how is it called?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update

Assuming windows 7/Vista

Zune can be used to restore it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Niiceg:
I got XP, so it won't work?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
No it works the storage location is a little different and as I havent tried it in XP I couldnt tell you for sure but it is some permutation of the above path.

Search for the folder "Windows Phone Update" in your profile %USERPROFILE%

You will have to have enabled visibility of all folder etc... including hidden and system.

This might work for XP as well as 7/vista: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shahab2500:
Ah version 1.1 worked.

thank you.

sorry for bothering you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
It's not a bother. I am just trying to figure out the sudden renewed interest that also comes with more bug reports.

I did a google search and found my program on multiple foreign web sites in languages I can't read and I am wondering if folks are reposting with viruses or something in the code?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MadSci:
hmmm... it wasn't unlocked the first time...

Well as stated above, it didn't need to be unlocked the first time.

Just in case though, can you please specify the unlocking method you used please? :D

And if anyone else on this thread has been running this BackUp tool with their phone locked, please sing out so we can settle this question.

Thanks!
