plz help me guys :confused:
[Defy General] jasontx:
I believe what you have is a nandroid backup img file. you should be able to restore it via the clockworkmod recovery, which you probably already have installed. Just tap Vol Down when the light flashes blue at boot.

I've never used the nandroid backups, just have read about them. Good luck.
[Defy General] binodnepal:
Restore from clockworkmod after rooting and installing cwm.

restore what? image file or what?:confused:

Will multitaks on mango, allow an app such as whatsapp or any messiging client run in the background like in android?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
Yes, it will. But it's more like iOS than Android. Android doesnt freeze the app. That's why Android use more battery usually.

It will freeze and let you come back to where you stopped.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andoridkiller:
I know that, it freezes the app, but can i still recieve messages while the app is frozen in the background like andorid. i hate ios.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
Yes, you can, it doesn't kill the process, so it keep you connected.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Running in the background and the sockets API's will allow the IM programs we are used to. You will get messages while its not open just like your txt messages.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkavat:
Apps will be forzen but will be allowed to run "live agents" in the backgrounds. These live agents can recieve messages and can give you a toast notification. These notifications will be deep linked... i.e. clicking on the notification will take you directly to the conversation. So overall it will behave just like any chat program on Android, but the whole app will not be running and thus will save battery and won't impact performance of the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
This is only partially correct. Live Agents aren't especially useful for things like IM and messengers because there are restrictions on how often they can run and for how long. I think the most a Live Agent can run is once every 30 minutes and for 15 seconds.

Most of the apps you guys are asking about (i.e. WhatsApp) will work like they do on iOS, with push notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andoridkiller:
Thanks everyone, I rember live agents now. Thanks, Otherwise I would have had to switch back to andorid. And Tbh I lost WP7 a alot.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peew971:
How are push notifications and Live tiles on Vodafone? Do they break too for you? Wondering if it's carrier specific.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andoridkiller:
I wish i could anwser that question accurately but im a ROM junkie so every month i either hard reset or change my rom. However regarding vodafone nothing has broken, all fine, but i think its because i reset my phone a lot, mainly to get free some space up.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
I often hear people talking about push and carrier. But I live in Brazil, where WP7 is not supported yet, and I have absolutely no problem with push.

And does carrier really matters to push?! If you turn plain mode on and turn wifi on, will it change something?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Please listen to the facts. It IS highly dependent on how your carrier handels and cuts-off data connections. This is mainly a European carrier problem because of the techniques some carriers use to free up the network...

And indeed using wifi only (without a SIM card in your phone) will keep push working the way its supposed to work. Well unless you have a router which does not work well wit wp7.

Here is the explaination and what they did to make it function correctly in Europe

http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Windows-Phone-7/Inside-the-Mango-Dev-Tools

If you watch channel 9 it is explained.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
Well, it's not non-sense. We don't have problems with cut-off data here. So i'm not "spreading nonsense". It's just a problem that I never had with any smartphone.

Still, yes, you're right, carrier can do that. Good luck to you (;
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
True, sorry. Its just a bit frustrating if you are facing the problem yourself and there are people telling you well are you sure its this and that, since we dont have that problem at all here ;)

Yeah we know... I just found out the hard way, my carrier is just one of the unfortunates. All other dutch carriers apparently are being handled fine by WP7.

I dont know an exact list of all carriers with whom WP7 PN does not work, however TMobile NL and I have heard Tre Italia and O2 UK and apparently the carrier of Peew are problem cases as well. Not sure though, but it does not really matter as apparently they fixed these problems with Mango so lets just wait and see. And I have a one year contract so I can ditch them if its not fixed, it sucks for the people who are tied into a 2 year contract though.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gilberthcordova:
Ok, it's a question a little bit silly and i did not know where to place it, I would like to know how to kill my phone, it has been not working well a lot and when I take the service technician never fails xD. I haven't found another solution, I'd read somewhere that when they tried to install Gingerbread, the cellphone was left without a signal, this can may be an option, but i not how to do it .. (Yes, I am a noob xD).

Ok sorry for my bad english, I'll write in spanish too, because I also know many people speak Spanish around here. Sorry :(:(:(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Yeah, that will work nicely. Flash stock 2.2, make nandroid backup, flash the Russian leak via the EXE (uncheck recovery), now go to recovery, wipe everything and restore the backup. No GSM. To finish the job, flash the stock recovery via ZIP.

(Chances are you will brick your phone before reaching that stage, which would be fine as well :p)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Flash your phone with kdz and during update, remove usb cable xd

Phone killed xd
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gilberthcordova:
lol, i'll try this, thank you xD
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Unlikely. Usually easily fixable via emergency mode. (Did quite a couple of times). The "broken" GSM method with no SIM detected plus no IMEI usually makes the service guys to change PCB or give you a new phone. Lot better. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digkong:
I don't think so coz u can just flash stock rom via kdz and the problem will be solved..!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
1/ There is no reason for the service guys to flash since the phone (SW) is working just "fine", except that it is no longer a phone (no GSM).

2/ Even KDZ will not save it when you skip the NV2 file restore (also tested by a couple of brick-makers here.)

3/ Everyone here who screwed the phone by messing it up with the Russian leak (no GSM) had no trouble getting a PCB changed or getting a replacement phone. So, I think that makes the method quite plausible. :p

[HTC Sensation] Damonkashu:
I notice that in the options menu, you can change media volume, ring volume, alarm volume, and notification volume. From what I understand, system sounds such as the lock/unlock noise, audio feedback from item selection, and more, are determined by media volume. Which is the same volume used to play music/video files. I wish they were separate options as sometimes I want my music to play softly but I system sounds to be full volume. Would this be possible in a custom ROM or is it an issue with the hardware?
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Have you tried a 3rd part volume manager to see if it works? All of them give you the option to adjust only system volume. I use volume Ace

Rogers branded Xperia arc ROM extracted through PC Companion, run through SEUSdecrypt, repackaged with Bundle Package in Flash Tool.

Version

: 2.3.3 ("Facebook Inside Xperia" update), 2011 June

Baseband

: 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-22

Kernel

: 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

Build

: 3.0.1.A.0.145

NOTE: I had issues flashing with 0.2.9.1 beta and had to use 0.2.8.

Flash Tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

NOTE: As of 2011-06, v2.3.3 CANNOT be rooted directly with GingerBreak/SuperOneClick (yet). To maintain root, you must upgrade from v2.3.2 by flashing over-the-air (OTA) from .181. See instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115542

Previous Rogers ROM thread (v2.3.2, 3.0.A.2.181): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1088539

This works on ANY Xperia arc.

Your arc does NOT have to be rooted.

Your arc does NOT have to be bootloader unlocked.

This does NOT re-lock a SIM unlocked phone (unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT).

This does NOT unlock your bootloader.

This WILL wipe your phone & root. Backup first.

You MUST have BOTH PC Companion and Update Service installed.

Update to v2.3.3 and keep root.

[YOUTUBE]v7hUIABNW6c&hd=1[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Arc Android Development] likiud:
I have an unlocked Rogers branded arc and it's rooted too. It shows an update but I can't do it OTA. Tried twice but still not working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Did you modify 2.3.2?

If yes, change that mods back to stock and OTA should work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] likiud:
What do you mean modify? I sim unlocked it, then rooted it, and changed the launcher. I didn't do any other modifications. Bootloader is still locked. I changed back to the arc launcher, but its still the same issue. It downloads the update, and then it shuts off then it appears to be updating, but when the phone boots back up it said it cannot update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] somevietguy:
i think its because your sim is unlocked
[Xperia Arc Android Development] somevietguy:
how do i reset my arc back to 2.3.2? i accidentally upgraded to 2.3.3 with my computer when trying to restore it back to stock 2.3.2 because the update wouldnt finish for me, i got the "cannot update software" error, so i thought restoring it completely might have helped....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
Probably means some system files have been modified. As shown in the video in the 2nd post, flash BACK to v2.3.2 using my other Rogers firmware thread and then update over-the-air:

Nope. SIM/network unlocking has NOTHING to do with flashing/rooting/updating and is completely independent (and permanent).

... did you even watch the flashing video? Flash back to v2.3.2 using the stock Rogers firmware, root, then update OTA:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] likiud:
I think I know why I can't update OTA. It may be because I removed some of the Rogers bloatware via titanium backup. I just tried the Flashtool to restore it back to the stock 2.3.2, but it came up an error and I had to use the repair tool via the PC companion to fix it. At the same time, the repair also installed .145 on it and I lost root.

I once again tried using Flashtool to install back .181 on it, but again error came up and had to fix it with PC Companion. Any ideas? I guess I'm stuck with unrooted 2.3.3 for now then?

The error that comes up in flashtool is that it tells me to turn on unknown sources and debugging. I actually already have both turned on but it still shows me that error
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
Which version of the FlashTool? It's rather finicky. It often fails on one of my desktops, but not my laptop (both are Win 7 x64). Try another computer, another version of the FlashTool (as stated in the original post, 0.2.9.1 doesn't work for me).

Just keep flashing until you get back to Rogers' v2.3.2.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] likiud:
I used 0.2.8.0 and it didn't work. I tried 0.2.9.1 and it didn't work either. I changed to a different computer but still didn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CarbonX13:
Did you:

1) Run Flashtool as Administrator (Right-Click, "Run as Administrator")

2) Disable User Account Control on Windows Vista/7

3) Correctly connect your Arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] likiud:
1) Yes

2) I don't know. I used Windows XP laptop and a Windows 7 desktop. Not really sure if that's disabled on Windows 7

3) I'm positive its connected correctly. Hold back button and plug USB.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jdhatt:
Bluechip,

I'm on Rogers 2.3.3 right now as the OTA wasn't working for me and I did the update via the update service. So I'm going to flash back to 2.3.2 and root, then OTA.

Question is any advantage of doing a generic US rom or global rom over the Rogers one? I don't carry about warranty issues as I know I can flash back to Rogers anytime. I guess most of the bloatware won't be there or is it just pretty much branding and no other differences?

ie: will the generic get updates quicker than the Rogers branded ones?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BluechipJ:
Typically, the generic firmwares are updated before branded ones (due to the addition of carrier apps and customization). Different generic firmwares have different applications. e.g. UEFA, PlayNow, etc.

However, the North American v2.3.2 isn't update-able over-the-air to 2.3.3 (to maintain root). There is a USA version through Wotan Server (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126409). That's what I'm currently running. I need to make a video about it.

HI,

Just wanted to check is someone can put some light on this stupid question.

Is there actually some cycle limitation on flashing the ROM on SGA? I mean is it going to damage the circuitary on the motherboard if i rlash ROM as often as twice a week??

May be the entire board is designed to run limited rom cycles:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kcchik:
There's a similar post of how to change the default homescreen in Touchwiz 4.0

unfortunately, the method by changing the "default.prop" did not work for some STOCK ROM (like ZSKF1 and ZSKF4). After spending more than a week, I have find a conclusion. (Don't laugh me spending too long on this. I9100 is my first Android Phone.....and i just want to share with those who suffered like me...)

try this:

1. download the attachment "apktool.rar"

2. extract "apktool.rar" to C:\apktool (easy for locate the files under windows's Command prompt)

3. pull "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" from /system/app using RE Explorer and put it into C:\apktool

4. now go to CMD (Windows Command Prompt)

5. type the following:

- C:\apktool\apktool d "C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher.apk "C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher"

6. once it has finished, you will see there is a folder named "touchwiz30launcher"

7. inside the folder C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher, go to \res\layout-port

8. find the "launcher.xml and edit it with Notepad

9. find the - launcher:defaultScreen="0"

10. change it to launcher:defaultScreen="3"

11. save and exit

12. go back to CMD and type:

- C:\apktool\apktool b C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher\

13. now you've got a folder namded "build" under C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher\

14. open your TouchWiz30Launcher.apk by using 7z (choose "Open archive") you will see a file "resources.arsc"

15. replace the "resources.arsc" with the one uncer C:\apktool\touchwiz30launcher\build\apk\

16. put TouchWiz30Launcher.apk back to your phone.

17. restart

This is the way how I've made it, but to be honest, I AM A NEWBIE, the above method i used to changing something of the Framework, and I found it also work on this.

Please if any expert can improve or point out any mistake.

It's better to have third party Launcher installed just incase if it's not working, and still have a chance to undo it by placing the original files back.

In v3 i will:

- make automounting /system to fix problem with some update.zip (eg. those for rooting Ace)

- fix reboot problem (wrote few posts earlier about this - samsung change to kernel)

- try to fix graphics problem

Also i'll relase update.zip so anyone could install my recovery on his phone (at ANY 2.3.* rom), of course earlier version would be needed (standard recovery don't have access to recovery partition).

For me it's already almost full working (only backup of boot/partition is disabled), all other options should work.
