[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I'm not sure what you're asking. All WP7 updates go through a certification process with both handset manufacturers and mobile operators. But neither of those entities "push" the updates to phones. Update delivery only happens through Microsoft (i.e., Zune).

So, what is happening now is that the other companies involved have received their copies of Mango for final testing and sign-off. They had likely already received earlier builds, so they could begin development of new features and/or apps (thanks to all of the new capabilities they might want to capitalize on), but now the clock is ticking on them. They complete the sign-off, send back to Microsoft any modifications they have made specific to their hardware or mobile service, and then Microsoft combines those into various bundles that ultimately get delivered to our phones.

The one exception to that rule is unbranded phones, which will probably receive the update before carrier-branded ones, since there is only one level of sign-off needed before the update can be made available.

The big question is whether Microsoft will be able to apply more pressure to carriers (especially AT&T) to sign-off in a timely manner. On this issue, let's just say that I have my doubts.

Out of curiosity, did we ever get a notice of the specific date that NoDo went RTM? I don't recall seeing one. Maybe the fact that Microsoft is being so vocal this time around is part of their plan to "motivate" carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mapleleafs89:
This is fantastic. Like others Im hoping someone leaks the latest build so XDA members can get their fingers dirty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i don't know how to be more clear with my question.

i can't see att caring about what microsoft says about signing off. they aren't exactly pushing wp products, and could care less about an update that will -not- sell another contract/phone to existing customers. an iphone hardware update on the other hand, oh yes yes yes, they love that stuff.

i did see a couple of blog posts (via my android news aggregator) stating that there would be a mango hardware unveil today, along with the rtm statement. apparently, bloggers jumped the gun, again.

the rtm statement is really a non-news worthy event. "we released something to someone, so sometime soon you might have a something for your phone. maybe." really that's all it is.

now HARDWARE... that's something i can understand there being threads and news about. say, searay or whatever the supposed new SHIPPING device is, that's news.

anyway, back to my jonesing for new tech... maybe endgadget or someone has some cool news... rss update time :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Pushing products in a store and pushing updates to existing phones have nothing to do with each other. So I still don't understand your original question about carriers pushing the update to our phones. They don't push the update, Microsoft does.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hank00k:
Alright so here's my question. Are updates region specific, even if it's unbranded and unlocked?

I'm currently running on PDA XWKE2 and Phone XWKE1 and whenever I try to update via the phone it says no update available and when I try Kies it says my phone isn't compatible.....

Also I can't root cuz I currently only have a Mac so I can't use Odin.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well yes, the update is region specific, definitely, doesn't matter if it's unlocked/unbranded. Where are you located?

China already got there official 2.3.4 update, while the whole world is still waiting.

Man I bought it thinking I'd get updates fast, just hope I don't have to wait much.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxurian:
so i'm hoping that someone might have an explanation beyond "facebook's app is borked"

I live in EST currently. There are no settings within facebook (that I can see, either in the app or on the site). Within Google Calendar, I have my timezone set for (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time.

The problem arises with the calendar application on Android. My Date/Time settings are set to use Network provided values (and they're accurate).

If I goto an event within the facebook app, a start time will properly show as 16:30, (as reciprocated on the website), however within the calendar application on my phone, it shows the start time incorrectly as 17:30 (1 hour ahead).

I originally thought this was a facebook only problem, until I found out that the facebook app is correct, just the android calendar is incorrect.

Just today, I tried adding an event to my calendar and discovered something else, when adding the event to my calendar, under the "Time Zone" option, it lists "(GMT-4:00) Eastern Time" which seemed odd, since Eastern Time is GMT-5, upon clicking the show all, it shows GMT-5:00 Central Time, GMT-5:00 Mexico City, & GMT-5:00 Bogota, which are also incorrect (and also appear to agree with the android calendar being +hour off.

Does anyone know how to fix it so that events are showing up in the right time? (time zone) ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
wow. it's called daylight savings time. click the button. issue resolved. not a bug.

I stand corrected. lol. It's a bug. hmmmmm, interesting. That means we get an update! yay! they will be required to give us an upgrade soon. EVERYONE START CALLING SPRINT AND HTC! LOL! TIME for them to send an update an unlock our phones at the same time! :-P

Looks like you can fix this issue by manually setting your time and selecting the right timezone.*well, the right -number* The timezone for eastern IS COMPLETELY wrong! hahahhaha. But really. this needs to be sent to HTC and Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxurian:
yea, there isn't any option to unset daylight savings time. and if the phone is trying to be smart, since manually setting the time zone EST reads as "GMT-04:00, Eastern Daylight Time", then it's incorrectly not reading the dates from the facebook calendar (synchronized via Accounts) correctly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxurian:
So some clarification. I experimented with wife's Nexus S and she didn't have the option of showing the facebook calendar. Apparently the option of showing the facebook calendar within the HTC calendar is done through the "Facebook for HTC", not the facebook app itself.

So given that it's a facebook for sense issue, any hope for a fix?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxurian:
So does anyone else have an issue with Facebook for HTC sense or is it just me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
It's an HTC issue. if we report it enough. they'll fix it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
Like many others me and my wife are swapping out our fascinate for the charge due to not receiving all calls. Everybody that has received a "kit" did that only include batt, batt cover, and charger? While the phone comes in its own box? thats what customer care said. thats why im getting phones today but the "kit" comes monday. Does this sound right to you? i had a lot of issues ordering this phone. things where order then cancelled then ordered again. Im so aggro with verizon atm. Can anybody confirm or deny what comes in the "kit". I was supposed to reject the phones that are coming today org but then i was told today when i called them to take the phones and wait for the kit on monday. Ive been told different stuff by different reps. Just wondering how things got shipped to everybody else. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I got everything brand new in box except for the 4G sim card (looked brand new anyway)

tapatalked from my VZ Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Mine came in a box, if you look at the IMEI on the box, it starts with CLNR (certified like new refurbished). But when I opened the box, everything was wrapped in unopened plastics.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
I got mine all in one except the sim card (which is standard I believe). My mine also does not have the CLN or whatever at the beginning of the number so I am going with mine was new
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
just checked and mine had CLNR.. also had a sticker that said "S.W. EE4", they're keeping track of what baseband it ships with now?

tapatalked from my VZ Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
so y'all received the "kit" which has everything minus sim card right? monday im getting my 'kits" but today i get the phones separate. like i said before they messed up my stuff bad and its been a very aggravating process. Reps ordered things separate then cancelled it. then ordered just phone, then it was suppose to cancelled and send out the "kit".

everybody that received everything in one box minus sim card, I assume you received the kit. Right? If so, then i should reject the "just the phone" package to avoid being charged for it. Then just wait till monday to receive the "kit". Which should have everything. Right?

I called customer service but first lady said no receive it all the second lady said reject the first and wait till monday. I just dont want to end up with 2 extra charges(me and wife), then get billed for them. after the last 2 days. verizon is the last ppl i want to talk to. customer care was very nice and polite but was kinda hard to get a defendant answer that was consistent with all reps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
Got my phone today. Any recommended roots and themes to cheat out of reading?

And what did you odin the fascinate back to for the return flight?
[Verizon Droid Charge] woolster22:
Called customert service, going instore tomorrow or sunday to get my charge shipped out. In the process of reverting to stock on my fassy now :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
TY for Hijacking my thread while at the same time, not answering the question.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidnew:
I ordered the Charge Monday and got it Wednesday. It was all in the same box and had the CLNR # on the box. But, it was all in the same box, as if it was new. Had everything but the sim card which I had to get from the store, and they activated the phone.

HOWEVER, the receipt I got when I ordered the phone listed the phone and the kit seperately! I thought I might get 2 boxes too. But I was lucky enough to get it all at once.

Just FYI stuff.....

I'm not sure that in your case, maybe you "are" going to get 2 seperate orders at 2 seperate times. It would be nice of FedEx would let you peek into the box you get today! :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
sorry about that. my situation was different. I got the phone and the box the next day.

In my 'new' charge box was a new looking phone, but with the clnr esn. A/C adapter, no cable, no instructions, no headphones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
np man and ty for sharing how it came for you. you got the charge cable,batt, and cover though with it didnt you? did yours come with the 32g sd card?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pinecone:
I got mine in a box with just the phone. I called customer service and they said they ran out of batteries. I went to the store and they hooked me up with a battery, sim card and 32gb card. They pulled the battery door off a new phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sleek69:
Went through the same thing you did, but there is no "kit." I received a brand new charge with 32gb micro sd installed, charging cable with wall adapter, and battery door. I did however have to stop by the corporate verizon store to pick up my 4g sim card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] quarky42:
I received the KIT and it came with everything mentioned above including a 32gb Class 4 MicroSD card. (It did not come with the SIM card, as mentioned above. I had to go to the store to get that...annoying.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyleUkno:
Hey guys/and the few gals here,

If im to unlock my bootloader and install the leaked version of GB, when it actually is released will i still get the prompt to update my phone? Also is there a way to lock the bootloader again, would it just be flashing back to an older FW thats out or how would it work?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you will get the update much quicker being unlocked because you can guarantee the instant the OTA drops it will be posted everywhere and peopel will be flashing it.

if you dont unlock, it takes weeks to actually get rolled out to each device.

so if you want the OTA fastest, its better to be unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Once unlocked, always unlocked.

You may get bugged about the update, but I am betting you won't, (lets just say I researched it), if on the leaked 4.5.91.

I would go with Kenneth Penn's 4.5.91/2.3.4 beta 4.5.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyleUkno:
so if i unlock NEVER NEVER do OTA updates just come here for it and it wont ask me to do an OTA update or will i keep getting that annoying pop up like every hr?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Not true! 4.1.57 and 4.1.83 came out a couple of days after the SOAK tests for them ended! Timing was about the same as this one is going. I'm betting on a 2.3.* release by end of next week

Also, I have got all my updates the first day they have been released. Very few people wait long for the update to be available. Some do, but many of these people have errors with their IMEI in the databases preventing updates. Also, many of them are modded and don't realize they have to be stock to get updates/upgrades.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Depends...............in some of the previous releases people have been bugged for the OTA after flashing the service sbf to update.

Oh, and for clarification, 2.3.* will be an upgrade, while 4.1.57 and 4.1.83 were updates.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyleUkno:
Now, since this voids the warranty on the phone, if im paying for insurance on the phone through ATT and if i unlock the bootloader will they still take it back if anything happens to it??
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defnow:
im curious on this too. If the rumor is true with the OTA gingerbread unlocking the bootloader..will that be considered warranty void?:confused:

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Just what the subject asks, is there any Android graphic editor that can do that ?

I found some that can save as png. Some that handle full res images. And some that allow cropping with ratios (4:3, 3:2, 16:9...). And some with a combination of two of those things.

Anything that does all three ? I sure can't find it. :confused:

Very simple operation, crop a full resolution photo with a given ratio, save ( full res ) as png. That's it.
[Android Apps and Games] Greenie-UK:
Have you Tried Adobe photoshop Express, Or Picsay Pro?
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Yes, Photoshop Express does not even open full resolution images ( and I only have a 5 MP camera, there are phones with even bigger images ) and does not offer an option to convert to png anyway. It's been mentioned before, but it's probably one of the worst graphic editors on Android.

PicSay Pro is actually my favourite but it doesn't do this either. It reduces the size when saving, so it's never full resolution.

Edit : Nexus One, rooted, unlocked, latest CyanogenMod Nightly -- If that's any help or it has any bugs that prevent me from seeing those functions in an editor, but I doubt it.
[Android Apps and Games] mazook98:

Thank you very much ! I gave it a try.

I can only see the typical square/rectangle to crop that I can resize and move however I feel like but no way to set a fixed ratio...

I must be missing something, it seems to me that this operation should be possible with a lot of apps, it's so simple.
[Android Apps and Games] mazook98:
I know there's a way to do it by pixel size in that app. Maybe you have to do the ratio by hand. As long as you know the original pixel size, it shouldnt be too tough. Perhaps take a look in the notion ink forum for more information. Good luck.

This question is towards those who have used xboarder56 or doniqcc roms, which doesn't update the baseband.

Have you noticed any improvements in GPS? Battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Are you sure they didn't include the be baseband? I'm on xboarders now.. Whats the old base band and whats the new.ill check my settings info
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
old baseband should say Mar 27 the new one which i belive the only way to get it right now is to use the LG updater is July 15. I don't think there is away to flash just the baseband yet. Don't quote me but i am pretty sure if you want the new baseband you will have to update using the LG updater.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Ahh ok mine still says mar.27th
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SaHiLzZ:
And thats what I am asking, if anyone using those new roms noticed a change in GPS/Battery?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I got the update through the lg updater and I can tell you that is instant lock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
In fact I was just about to reflash my Stock Froyo backup as I was getting better GPS and Battery with former pre-upgrade arrangement. Granted the udpate runs very smooth, but if it does not improve my battery life I will just as soon return to Froyo and wait for the official OTA.

With that said, if there was a way to flash the baseband, is the thinking that this will improve batery and GPS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
I can tell you the Battery life on this GB release is WAY better than any other leaked/CM7 rom. I can easily squeeze more than a day out of this GB if i configure things differently. GPS on the other hand is like 2/3secs or instant lock. ALL other roms and Froyo i can never get a lock. Takes about 2-3mins if lucky and i kid you not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Agree, no improvement... Waiting top flash the baseband when available. If not I'm flashing the real one..lol

It isn't the show.
[Epic 4G General] Falstafff:
Yes. I have noticed the same thing. Basically what happens is that when you increase the screen brightness, the Netflix app itself gets a lot brighter, and the pause/play slider bar gets brighter too. But the video itself, not so bright.
