[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilaksh:
Hi,

you need to go to settings in Zune 4.8, then under phone settings, click on update. let it search. after it loads, the lower half of the page is the restore section which will tell you the restore date. you need to click on restore.

This is assuming that you went the official way in order to update to mango.

If you used the tools from windowsphonehacker.com (the unofficial way), then your backup will be in C:\premangostate\ which you need to copy to the Zune backup location (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\ ) and then run the restore from Zune settings.

If you don't have a backup at all, you will need to flash a ROM image to an older version . There are many tutorials for this around xda. I recommend any of ansar's ROMs. You can't use a backup file from another device as backups are phone-specific. Phone A's backup won't work with Phone B.

Or you could just enjoy using preMango and build a few apps which all of us would enjoy using!

Cheers!

If you not backupped your Device you are not able anymore to go back to NODO and even to update your device with future updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
That's not completely true. He can always simply flash a NoDo or any previous ROM which is appropriate for his device. He will then just have set up his device completely back from scratch but of course will be able to recieve all future updates.

I have the Verizon HTC Trophy with mango beta 2, and I'm trying to go back to NoDo. When I click on my backup file, I get the error, "Error: The installed version of the tool (4.7.1404) needs to be updated to match the Zune version (4.8.2098). Please install the tool version 4.8.2098." When I go to the Zune settings, phone update, there is no restore option.

There is the SPB Migration Tool but it costs USD 9.95.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSJ:
Try a free way to do that, first esport you caontact to CSV then port it to google contact. And then in android, just import it via google contact

the scheme must be like this:

Windows Mobile --> Outlook / any free third party* --> Google COntact --> Android

*application like PIM BAckup afaik it export to csv if you extract the files
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsquare:
Does it actually work seamlessly? Will it preserve the sender and receiver's dates and names in the SMS?

[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
So is anyone else seeing double image if they dont film their subject in a sweet spot? Seems kind of pointless doesnt it? If I am filming stuff, I would prefer to not tell my subject that they cannot move beyond a certain zone.

Or... is my 3d defective?
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
I only see issues if I am close to something, like a macro shot
[HTC EVO 3D] dcyouknow:
Ive had the same problem. Taking 3D pictures of moving objects just doesn't work well.
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
Without a quick enough shutter speed, taking pictures of moving objects period doesn't work well.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
my problem isnt just moving objects. it is anything that is NOT in a certain zone. If the object being filmed is too close or too distant, it doubles (instead of 3d).
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
With 3d photography, there ARE limitations on distance.

Remember, a camera doesn't work like your eyes which are able to do more than just focus.

A camera lens is FIXED in a specific position and when you change your focal points the fixed position may be either to wide or, when focusing at distance, too narrow.

Movie makers and professional photographers are aware of this and can work around it. Specialized 3d photography actually uses 2 cameras in sync with a rail that separates the cameras based on the focal point.

Here's a simplified example of the rail for home use:

http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/How-to-Build-a-Two-Camera-Rig-for-Wiggle-3D

For what the evo and point and shoot 3d cameras do, it's just fine as long as you know the limitations of distance (both macro and >40ft or so)
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I appreciate this info... but... my evo 3d is struggling with objects even > 8 feet.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
is anyone else experiencing the same issue? should i take it back?
[HTC EVO 3D] 4dthinker:
To get as close as possible to a perfect 3D experience for human eyes, a 3D camera needs its two lenses to be the same distance apart as our eyes are. Notice the 3VO's "eyes" are only 1.375" apart. My eyes are closer to 3" apart center to center. What it means is that the near and far extents of the view taken will either be hard to align for focus or impossible and thus ignored by one of our eyes or the other. Far elements won't have as much 3D impact anyway, except in contrast to near elements in the same scene. You'll notice broad distant landscape scenes aren't the choice shots as 3D samples. Pick scenes with foreground (not too close) and background (and even middle ground) elements to shoot, and your shots will turn out fine. Make sure your camera is level though. If you don't then you won't see the 3D effect until you re-create that tilted relationship between your eyes and the viewscreen.
[HTC Desire S] nbhadusia:
Quick question... I'm thinking of getting my Des S unlocked at a phone shop (it's factory unlocked to all networks, but is S - On). If I have this done, will this process normally s off the phone automatically, or do I need to make sure they use XTC clip. It's just that I'm not sure they'll know what I'm on about if I start talking about S off.
[HTC Desire S] uncle_buckman:
I bought a HTC Desire S from free and I would like to know how to it unlocked permanently also.

I hear you can do it online, offline, using a cable...
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
at the moment only option is to use XTC clip or XTC clip payngo (or how it is called)... hopefully alpharevx will be released soon and everyone will be able to S-OFF for free without any special hardware ;)

look at this thread, maybe someone near you already bought an XTC clip and can S-OFF your phone

btw, next time try to use search before posting, there are few threads about this already....
[HTC Desire S] uncle_buckman:
The terminology you guys use to alien to new users;

XTC Clip?

S-OFF?

I believe people search before asking a question, if it doesn't make sense you have to create a thread right?

Is there a guide around?
[HTC Desire S] uncle_buckman:
There is, so I'll keep quiet and read it.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
You might like to Google this, read all about it first. I have not tested it on the S as mine is already unlocked but it worked on the Desire.

AT YOUR OWN RISK
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
This thread apart from being completely unnecessary and a duplication of many already existing threads is about S-OFF unlocking and not network unlocking so this post isn't relevant.

Besides products that are for the DESIRE shouldn't be suggested to newcomers for the Desire S especially not with the tagline AT YOUR OWN RISK .....IMO
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
There is a risk involved whether your a new comer or not, and please excuse the fact that I have replied to a genuine concern but I don't have the time to trawl through everything before trying to help.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] infineon123:
Is there a way to lock my Diamond2 to use SIM card only from one operator (CC 284 NC 03, Bulgaria Vivacom) ???

I want to make my girlfriend to get SIM from Vivacom .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] neocyke:
Not so sure about the simcard part but you can configure the phone to use only 1 network. Go to phone setting, personal, phone.

On the network page, set to manual and pick the operator network u wanna use. That'll get the phone to connect to that particular network only.

Changing simcards should result in no network connection, unless the setting is changed back to auto or set to another operator..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] infineon123:
Good solution, but when reboot the phone I get message to select network again and she can choose another network.

[HTC Incredible S] thahaac:
I bought my Incredible S with 2.2 Froyo.

Recently I upgraded to 2.3.3 gingerbread OTA update.

After the update most of the calls have being dropped if there is less coverage.

sometimes even if there is full coverage, when I answer the call the signal will drop by 60-70%

anyone having the same issue..?
[HTC Incredible S] swatsor:
Nope, but it might be time to S-OFF and Root your device so you can try different radios/basebands for better coverage.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
This might nit help at all, but after I updated my incredible s to the latest update and had some problems when calling others.

HTC's answer for all problems caused by the update is to turn off your phone and unplug your battery for a min or two, and if that doesn't help you should factory reset.

Surprisingly I don't have any more problems with calls and such stuff after unplugging my battery for a minute!

And since the antenna is in the battery cover thing (backside of the phone) you might be covering it with your hand? Some users have reported that they lose signal strength on 3g network when they cover the antenna.

Might be worth to try before voiding your warranty? :)
[HTC Incredible S] byted:
Seems like a strange solution. I'll give it a try. Radios have been a real source of frustration on an otherwise great phone

Interestingly, I had to send the phone to the service center 4 times to no avail post which I asked for a replacement.

after using the replacement for 2 days, I see that the problem still persists. I am just about to write an email to HTC asking that they take back the phone and refund my money.

Don't think I'm interested in yet another replacement. Has anyone faced similar issues with other HTC phones say the sensation or the HD7... those might be my choices unless I can get myself to wait for the HTC titan

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Hello everyone,

I've compiled a kernel which separates the NAND memory into 3 partitions (well more then that but anyway). These partitions are system, data and cache like a native Android phone (which also has recovery but we don't need that). Previously cache was linked to a directory on the data partition which was constantly becoming corrupt causing errors on start-up. Often clearing dalvik-cache would allow Android to boot but data was lost. There's nothing to say that this will solve the problem but i'm giving it a go so thought I would post it up for you to try also.

The cache partition is 20mb which means the data partition is only 90mb or so. If you like a million apps on your phone either put some on your SD card or don't use it :)

I haven't completely incorporated this partition into the initrd which means that currently it will only mount if data is also on NAND but this can be changed easily enough, but for testing purposes I want everything on the NAND chip anyway.

Downloads from market on all versions of Android, unless the init.rc directory is changed in Gingerbread, all go to the cache partition and are deleted on restart. What this means is that you can't download and install an app larger then 20mb (which isn't recommended anyway with the small amount of data space available). This is a drawback but for those that use data on SD it should be possible in the future to utilise more of the NAND memory for cache so you can install whatever you want. I don't know of many apps larger then 20mb anyway though.

I have included a modified version of ATools in the zip. The standard version will overwrite the partition values and the kernel won't work properly so if you need to modify the kernel use the version included. It is also important that you DO NOT change the system or data partition sizes in ATools as this hasn't been modified to account for the cache partition so will mess it all up.

I have also included an androidupdate.tar modules update for the kernel in case your wifi doesn't work after flashing the kernel.

I think that's it for now, let me know how it goes!

EDIT::

One last thing, you will need to wipe your DATA partition to use this kernel because some of your data may be positioned where the cache partition is now, so if you load this kernel and android is heavily corrupt you know what you have to do!

To check the kernel is working correctly you can type "df -h" into a terminal and it should show all of the current partitions including one called cache on mtdblock4.

Should now work with polaris, kaiser and vogue. There is a VOGUEIMG.NBH included for those who have trouble with ATools. It is completely untested on Vogue so sorry if it doesn't work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
EDIT

I have re-uploaded a modified kernel because there was some issues with data with the last one. If you have already applied the last one flash the new one and apply the module update again :)

Ok, using your Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1.2 (RLS6) [16.03.2011], overclock via atools+roguetools to 529, gpu oc, battery units tweaked to suit my battery.

No SIM card yet, don't have one to put there, sync with google to get contacts.

Installed GoLauncher. Enabled JIT and Keep Launcher in memory.

Once in a while, Android is killing all apps, launcher included... strange...

Nevermind that, it was Cyanogen and the LongPress BackKey. LongPress on our Kaisers during lag can become short press :)

First couple of days of heavy use I've had in ages with no corruption. First day of my new job today so it's been on Google Navigation for 3 hours and used extensively during the day. Had to do a hard reset at one point and everything was fine. had a few soft reset's too. Don't get me wrong, i'd be surprised if this is a fix, but it's been a while since I've used my Kaiser this much and not had to wipe my data partition!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Update: CM is a bit slow, trying:

VaniljEclair RLS11 - A fast & stable CM 5.0.8 for Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris [2010-08-19]

And everyting seems good. I've pushed it a little, several normal reboots.

Had to reflash system (didn't reflash data). No errors, FC's, whatevar. Everything works, yet didn't try to make/receive calls. Its 1am here...

Now this particular version, has a god damn bug that is get the best of me. The Power Button and the red button won't make the phone go to standby. If i long press, i get the normal reboot/power off/airplane etc menu, on both keys. But single press is ignore... Any idea ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
scooter1556 , i have a question. It is not the purpose of the thread or kernel, but how difficult would it be to activate scalling of the cpu ?

Right now, the two 3 biggest issues with Android on the Kaiser are, IMHO, Data corruption, Battery life, performance.

Please share your thoughts :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mb_is_here:
Using this kernel with Valentine 1.02. GPU overclocked and CPU @ 520mhz. Super fast and for the first time... no data corruption! Verry happy so far!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Well in theory not too hard, there is a feature built into the linux kernel called cpufreq which is currently disabled in our kernel because our cpu and chipset code doesn't support it but krazy-killa has been working on getting it working in his kernels with a little success as far as i'm aware but i'm not that sure. I haven't personally looked into it but if I get some spare time I definitely will. I've started a new job now which i'm sure will keep me quite busy but I still intend to so some work on the Kaiser when I get time :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Best of luck on your new job! I wish i had enough knowledge to continue the kernel development, but i'm quite a ignorant :)

Still, thank you, till now it's one of the best kernels i've used.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zxxxy:
Hi Scoot!

I love your kernel. No data corruption so far (two days). did a few stylus resets and stuff.. Magical =D. Now IMO we only need better sleeping and autofocus to call kaiser a fully android device! Please Keep up the awesome job, scoot! thanx, danke, sposeeba, bedankt, aciu, dzenkuja!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xtr3m3:
Nice job scooter, I've been using Scoot CyanogenMod 7.0.2 RLS2 [28/04/11] @ 500MHz, and it seems fine so far. :)

I tried Fat Free Froyo before CyanogenMod, which also worked great for the few hours it was running. I'm not sure which one to stick with though.

Keep up the good work. I wish I could help with the development, but I have yet to learn programming (been ten years now :rolleyes:).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
This kernel looks pretty stable, but just a few quick questions:

1) What filesystem is used for the cache? If YAFFS, could it get corrupted? If Yes, what would happend then?

2) Is it really needed to have 20MB for the cache? ATM it seems to be used only by a like 1-2MB on the cache partition, would not it be enough to have for example 10MB for the cache leaving more space for apps?

3) What is the difference using apps in the system and data partitions? If I would run off the space on the data partition, can I put some apps in the system apps folder to save the space without wandering about how it works?

Thanx for your great work, finally it seems to be fully usable for me and if you and Krazy-Killa would be able to work together to manage the power consumption, then it would be amazing, because I am going to get new phone (running some new extensive business and I can not afford to be not reachable when something happends on Kaiser) and give this lovely piece of HW to my son... And I really do not want him to have a WM machine :D:D:D But Android needs to be stable for him to use :) Well... he will get it for his 10th birthday at 6.9. so we still have some time to tweak it a bit more :D
