No one here can help you with billing issues, best to give Microsoft a call and explain what happened. I don't think your purchases are tied to your gamer tag, they should be tied to your Windows Live ID. So this is odd that simply changing your gamer tag would nullify all your purchases on the same Windows Live ID the purchases were made on.

http://www.zune.net/en-US/support/contactsupport.htm
[Windows Phone 7 General] spokanedj:
Your purchases ARE associated only to your gamer tag (and what WLID your gamer tag is associated to). If you use your XBox to switch the gamer tag to another WLID, your new game tag on the old WLID *WILL NOT* have any of your history, as the history will migrate with your gamer tag to the new WLID.

After buying three more WP7 phones for my family, I created a new WLID and moved my gamer tag from my main WLID to a new one that all phones would use as their primary WLID. This worked great and all four phones (had to reset the original one to the new WLID) had access to purchased apps, my Zune Pass, etc, that was associated to my original WLID.

What I didn't realize is that by performing the above (which incidentally was what my App Hub account was using) completely hosed my App Hub account. I had to wait 30 days to switch my gamer tag back to my original WLID to access App Hub again and no-one (App Hub Support, XBoz Support, etc) could help me. For your App Hub account to work, the Game Tage and WLID must match the original combo, or it will error and your are toast.

XDA app is crap.. I cant believe I paid for it..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
actually, this is how Live IDs work:

Your *actual* Live ID is a long text string of seemingly random letters and numbers. This is what makes your Live ID and this is what your content actually belongs to.

Your email adress and Gamertag are connected to that Live ID, in the background Live always uses your Live ID to identify you. When you change your gamertag or email, the Live ID string stays untouched.

Changing Gamertags costs money (800 Microsoft Points), changing email adress doesn't (IIRC).

What you did is change the email to both of your live accounts.

Now your "new" Live ID with your "good" Gamertag is associated to your proper email adress, when you connect your phone with that, you'll use your "new" Live ID. Your content is licensed to your "old" Live ID with the player12345 gamertag and now your slush email account.

AFAIK, MS can not or will not transfer licenses from one ID to another, but you can try calling their billing support if you want.

Alternatively, this is what you can do: revert your email adresses back, so your player12345677 GT now has your proper email adress. Buy 800 MSP to change your GT to a non-generic one (can't use your old one, though) and "start fresh". You should be able to re-download your content using this Live ID without problems.

Does anyone know where i can get Google's video player? i've tried downloading from the market to no avail. Thanks in advance.for your help. Btw I'm rooted and running Infused 153.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dajeoo:
I've heard that i doesn't work on rooted phones, i installed the new market, it should install along with the new market but it didn't. I guess that's due to me being rooted.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies

the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.

this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
Hey there Jack can you send me the apk? PM me and I'll give you my email address. muchas gracias.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
thats ok. i put it in my dropbox. http://db.tt/Xya5KUS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:

Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)

Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yep this is how ive been doing it, works just fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ogram:
ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
I still don't understand how or if possible to erase all my bookmarks in the web browser at one time. While in web browser I press Menu, Bookmarks, long press one and then delete bookmark. But to do that 80+ times, oh h**l no. Can someone please school me on a solution that won't delete anything else but the bookmarks, please? (I tried the search and like always all the results had NOTHING to do with what I searched, (I'm not saying, I'm just saying)

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Settings - applications -manage applications - all - browser - erase data
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
Last time I tried that, it cleared all kinds of stuff. I had to re-login to all the sites I visit, it cleared files I downloaded, safesearch filter, all kinds of bad. I just wana get rid of the bookmarks and that's all. Any other solutions?

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Not that I'm aware of. Try to find where your bookmark files are stored and delete them with Root Explorer, maybe?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
Root Explorer? Sounds like something that'll void my warranty. Id love to try the whole "root" thing to see if its any better than stock but Im too a-scared to ask someone/anyone to walk me thru it (or shoot me a link to the steps n procedures) cause I'm sure ill get smashed. Oh yeah, anyways, I guess ill just delete my bookmarks one by one in 5min shifts for about an hour till they're gone. But thanks for ur time.

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Warranty shmarranty!

As long as you don't break your screen or run it over you can fix any OS issues from the information here on XDA.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] pomeroythomas:
Yeah. Just don't let anyone from cricKet see your phone. Haha. and if you break your screen, you can still just fastboot flash stock before turning it in (or break it to where they won't be able to tell either way).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I like showing my phone off to the cricket representatives... I already have a red water mark on the back from being out in the rain.

I will actually be going back in the store without flashing back to stock to get a new account with them within the month.

I know. Schooling cricKet reps is so fun. XD I even flashed CM7 to one of their Ascends. Almost earned me a job.
[HTC EVO 3D] Take05:
Hey what do you guys think? I can get a either a 16GB Class 10, or a 32GB class 4 for the same price. Does a class 10 really make much difference on a phone? If this was for my DSLR Camera it'd be different. So just curious what everyone's thoughts are. Thanks In Advance! :)

P.S. The Price is $60. However I work at Best Buy and know i get a discount im just not sure what it is yet...
[HTC EVO 3D] TheNeck:
I was wondering the same thing?

I would think the class 4 32gb would be fine with the Evo 3D, but i could be wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] Arnezie:
What brands? Not all brands are the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] jinwu57:
I just purchased a Sandisk 32GB class 4. I mainly use my storage for music/pics.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I use a Sandisk 32gb class 2 I believe, it may be a class 4. Used it in my Evo4G and now my 3D. I run most of my apps and games off of it, never had an issue. Never any lag, just as fast as a class 6 I used by some off brand. Sandisk is known for having speeds faster then what they are rated, alot of no-name brands are just the opposite though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Take05:
Kingston 16GB class 10 for about $55

Kingston 32GB Class 4 for about $50

PNY 16GB Class 10 for about $30
[HTC EVO 3D] eah026000:
16GB Class 4

I just went through this same thing.... The card that came with the phone was class 4. I downloaded SD Tools from the market and did a speed test. My goal was to ensure that whatever card I got had at least the same read/write speeds as the stock card.

Out of 3 tests on the stock class 4 card the highest results were 7.0MB/s write and 16.9MB/s read.

I went to Frys and bought a 16GB class 4 card (I think it is WINTEC, but will double check) for $19.99. Figured I could return it if the speeds weren't up to par.

Out of 3 tests with this class 4 card, all came back with 11.0MB/s write and 19.2MB/s read.

I decided to go with 16GB first to see if I would really fill it up. Sure, I would love 32GB of storage but when do I really need ALL my music on my phone at one time and how many movies do I really need on hand? I figure I will still use my PC as the ultimate storage device and then sync down about 4GB of music and maybe 3-4 movies at a time... still leaving room for some camera pics. If I find I am running out of space I will then upgrade to a 32GB card.

Hope this helps!

I'm using sandisk 16g class 2 card that come with my Droid X. I do get lag sometimes playing 1080p vids, although rare.. If I don't skip around a lot then no problems at all. I don't consider it a nuisance enough to throw away any class 2 cards but enough to make class 4 my new min requirement.

I tried searching for this info but I found nothing.

I'm trying to change the LCD density to something bigger on the E3D. Is it possible on the current method of temp rooting? If so what is the best setting?

I tried the LCD density changer app (at 280) and it turned the screen black and my phone froze. Anyone have any tips on this?
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
Have you tried a lower setting? LCD density might not work since theres not a kernel source yet...
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
I'm assuming the screen shuts off and takes a little bit for the settings to take effect. I also assume it requires a reboot... but it's because root does not stick all the way... So it doesn't work.

So at this time, I believe density change... is unsupported.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmafighter077:
I think your both right. When I tried editing the build.prop file it would freeze up the super manger.

I seem to remember now that you mention it that I had to reboot my other android phone when when I changed the density. Of course that wouldn't work on a phone that you lose root when you reboot.

the screen turns black when I save the changes. I wait like ten minutes and it stays black.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmafighter077:
I don't want to make the density smaller. I want to make everything look bigger.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkman107:
Try using the fast boot option to reboot.. I do that and I get to keep root!

I know on my og EVO it did a soft reboot (straight to the boot animation) which in our case would not clear the RAM. So in theory it should work but I'm not sure. I'll try it when I get home in a couple days

[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
if you have S-OFF, just adb shell into phone and gain root...then edit the /system/build.prop file to look for density and change the value and reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Sorry for bumping if someone's mentioned this before, but after trying to a find an app to easily change the density for months and continuously failing, i was quite excited when i realized Font changer has a density changing setting in it and it works flawless, now i can take advantage of this qHD screen. So happy! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Simplest way would be to use root explorer and edit the value in system/build.prop

Or

Use adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit the value with NotePad++ and

adb push build.prop /system

adb shell

chmod 644 /system/buildp.prop
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
I know I just wanted an app to change it quick and easily though cause some games don't play well with the 192 density setting I prefer. I know 192 is tiny on the 3d but I love it, feels like I'm using a tablet. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] makmoneynslp:
Actually root toolbox pro works perfectly... but I believe for actual density changes on everything you need n asop rom
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
I use 200, definitely a good balance between being smaller and too small. Before viperROM Final is out, I'm going to add density control into viperControl so that you don't even have to use an app :)
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Yeah 200 is a sweet spot. And that would be an amazing addition to an awesome rom! I remember Magnus included it in one of the destroyer roms on the og and ever since then 240 is rediculously huge too me, its like a 600×800 Res on a computer haha. I'm still in shock I never noticed font changer had a option to change LCD density, and the fact that it has it, and its free! I don't understand why a font changer would have this option, but I'm definitely not complaining.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
u cant honestly think going with the adb method and using notepad++ is "simpler" then clicking an app on the phone and typing the density u want right there..

but anyway.. yeah, ive been using font changer for a while to change both my fonts and density.. (back in my htc hero days..:))

i go with 220.. even tho i like the way 200 looks overall, it makes the market too small and also sets the keypad in the dialer off center..

OK, I 've tried searching but haven't had any luck.

How can I edit the voicemail speed dial to include my password?

I tried changing it under phone >> speed dial but you can't. I also checked under Settings >> Call >> Voicemail Settings but you can't change it there either (greyed out).

Call into your voicemail account. (this is on TMo system) Follow the prompts to get to the "Main Menu". Option 5 has to do with the Security/Password for your voicemail system. You should be able to enable auto password input there.

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to unlock a Samsung Galaxy 550 (AKA Samsung Galaxy I550M) on the Bell Mobility network.

I have located a thread here on XDA at the following URL - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12099386&postcount=6

The instructions below are posted within the thread and claimed to be a safe and current method for unlocking this particular model. (2011 tested and working)

Im looking to gain some clarification from veterans here on the boards who can enlighten on whether this quoted procedure will be a success when it comes to a Bell Mobility Galaxy 550. And exactly how to go about implementing this unlock successfully. Is it advisable? Is it safe? A foolproof method?

Im hoping to gain further insight into this procedure. Any details, suggestions, feedback, advice, or clarification is greatly appreciated in order to forgo the risk of bricking the device upon an unsuccessful attempt.

Thanks everyone.

"Since I can't give up on this one I digged a little further into my i5500 memory.

EDIT: SAFE METHOD Did it again on april 8 2011, it works! Stick to the commands.

Guess what? I f.ckin did it. Big hoora. I'am good I know Thank you!

Code:

- root your phone

- adb shell

- su

- cd /

- mount -o remount,rw / (or do it before adb with root explorer)

This works on other systems: mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /

- mkdir /efs

- mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /efs

- cat /efs/mits/perso.txt

- umount /efs

- reboot

EDIT: stl5 is es-tee-el-five (like STL5)

EDIT: /efs on the Galaxy the /etc/fstab says: mount rfs /dev/block/stl5 /efs nosuid nodev check=no

You will see some numbers: In my case 20404 for Vodafone NL.

Then you will see your SP unlock code followed by some 000000000 codes and another

code. Write the first one (and second just in case) down.

Shut down the phone and put it a "locked" sim. Start your phone, input the pin, and when asked for a unlock code give it the first code. Your phone is now unlocked."

Atrix & Droid X Gingerbread pre-launch soak annouced days apart: Just coincidence?

I just read that droid x owners received word of a "pre-launch soak" update which as you know is days after word of the Atrix soak.

Just coincidence or could the 2 builds be that similar???:confused:

Which bring me to my next un-knowledgeable question: If the 2 builds are that close together to where only small changes are needed, how close could the droid x cm7 be to our Atrix?:confused:

Just a stupid, completely stupid, thought...:o
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Well... i kinda doubt there's THAT much of a similarity between the Droid X and the Atrix. Different camera specs... Atrix has 1GB memory while the X has 512MB.... among other differences, including the addition of the fingerprint reader on the Atrix, not to mention a completely different CPU, and lack of dual-core on the droid x.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Droid X already had a soak test for gingerbread. This is probably a revision of it to fix more bugs. The Official gingerbread beta for DX has leaked for over a month now.
[Atrix 4G General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
I'm not that stupid. I know feature-wise what their differences are. Im talking how similar they are when it comes to programing as a starting point or just being bootable.
[Atrix 4G General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Na i believe they had a GB leak similar to our HKTW 2.3.4 we've had for almost a month if not more (also), which is not a soak or manufacture's private beta.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Nope. HKTW was a gingerbread for a model similar to the Atrix in china. The Droid X leak was designed specifically for the DX.

Every likelyhood they are very different, as I would imagine there are 2 different teams of applications/software engineers working on GB for each phone. They may communicate options, ideas, etc., but I doubt they OS's are the same.

Clean off the sensor top left of the screen. It automatically turns off the screen when you have the phone at your face. There is also a setting somewhere to control this. Check that it is on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
It happens to me all the time, I've cleaned the sensor many times and it doesn't help. I think its just a design flaw from them putting it behind the mesh for the speaker, this is also why you can't see the led unless your looking straight at the phone. Luckily I don't make a lot of calls because this device wasn't designed to be a phone, it seems like that was just a feature that was tacked on in the last minute because of the horrible proximity sensor, bad call clarity/speakers and mic
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
Download myLock utilities (free at the market) and enable 'In Call Screen Lock'. It wont solve the prox issue, which seems to be a software flaw, but it will prevent accidental screen touches. Also, make sure the 'back button' option is checked, since the phone does not have a camera or nav key.
