Hi, first this is WP7, WM is no longer supported by MS.

Secondly, the Metro UI is far better than any widget/launcher combo and you can customize the UI the way you want, plus being part of the OS is far better than any app combo. Short answer: no, but you can customize the tiles.

Thirdly, this has already been posted and discussed in several threads already, you can use the search button :rolleyes:

Don't Forget My Thanks Button

Your problem should be just solved in minutes......seriously

Start your phone and DO NOTHING, KEEP IT ON FOR A WHILE (In Rare Cases It Could Take Hours)

See the phone after a while.

Now I'll explain you what happens.....When a new ROM is installed the phone needs to do some arithmetic work. And so on the first boot the phone always starts after a while.

This even happened with me!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamblue337:
So for the longest time I had a jailbroken iphone so everything I'm used to is about iOS. I've had my Atrix for about 4 months now and I've been fairly happy with gingerblur, but I heard there was some new updates or other things going on. I dunno if I want an unlocked bootloader, I seriously dont know what to do because I want to start over and just start from scratch.

Suggestions or do I need to provide info? I just want to update my phone

ok i used a couple different places but ill try to explain

first of all i had titanium backup to restore most of my apps and everything because you will lose everything. just a heads up.

1. I used this to rsd flash the "Full 2.3.4 sbf..."

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138204

2. I then put the phone in fastboot and used this from #13 on

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader

3. so now you are on 2.3.4. unlocked you can stay on just that if you want a stock rom. but i recommend rooting haha..

4. I could not get the root from #1 to work so i sorta worked my way around it.

5. I used this to get cwm recovery on my phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

6. then I flashed this file to obtain root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140110

7. Then flashed the alien rom from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186537

8. thats it i hope you can make sense of it since its kinda screwed up lol but everything is working great for me and im defiantly glad i updated. if you have any questions just ask

also if you do do this make sure you check for updates under development for the rom its already updated a few things in the week that ive had it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamblue337:

I want that on my phone. Now my question is does this come with an "Unlocked bootloader"

Or do I have to do something to get an unlocked bootloader?

What does an unlocked bootloader even mean
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloeckner09:
what i posted will get you that exactly.

What you have right now is a locked bootloader, rooted with gingerblur from what i understand. with a locked bootloader you cannot have a true rom gingerblur is more of a theme that gets rid of the apps that slow your phone from the factory.

with an unlocked bootloader you can flash true roms and kernels etc..

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] jo2kxda:
Hi All,

Wonder what your experiences are with google reader on Nook STR? I'm kinda torn that it offers the best font size / folder support yet 50% of RSS won't display properly :( - tried gReader, which does a better job displaying the feeds (in invert mode) but pretty poor in subscription list with no folders...

What do you use for RSS?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] jo2kxda:
Now running Taptu... seems not bad, graphical. but lack of basic unread count etc
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] B3RL1N:
I just use the mobile Google Reader website on Opera Mini, runs like a charm.

Sure, it's a bit jerky, but I love it overall. On my HTC EVO I do the same, but with the default browser. I personally feel as if the Google Reader mobile site is superior to ANY Reader app out there, but that's just a personal opinion. Font size doesn't bother me either, but I have 20/20.

Pair it up with URLy and you have an awesome Google Reader RSS sharing experience.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Any feedback is appreciated. The ad was put up by a "resale" (pawn?) shop maybe ten blocks away, which I'm not sure if I feel better or worse than buying it off some guy, but at least it will be easy to get a hands-on and walk out if it's no good. Also, I could find the guy again if I need to, but I'd take a craigslist sale as caveat emptor, regardless.

I just moved from AT&T contract to their $50/mo prepaid-unlimited, and will try my SIM card in the phone before I commit. The phone was listed as "AT&T samsung galaxy S," with a picture of what appears to be a Rogers Captivate, but it's not clear if the pic is of the actual item or just a google image.

Overall, the price seems decent as long as the phone is in working order. I plan to do the SIM check, have a look at About and Battery stats in the settings (if it's froyo, I'll probably leave it be. If not, I might flash CM7), and see if there are any apps on it.

Isn't there a sticker on the battery or somewhere that will indicate water damage? Honestly, water damage wouldn't be a deal-breaker if everything seems to work, but I'd like to check.

Anything else I should look for? Seeing any red flags?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
Kinda expensive IMO. but yes there is a white sticker near the battery for watermark.and check for the build. I would only buy it if it was a 1006 or 1007 build bit some ppl may say otherwise.I have a 1007 and never had to use a jig before. I'm guessing that the jig( for recovering from a software brick state.or don't have the button combos active) is for higher build phones. But these are only opinions of mine. If you don't plan on doing a lot of flashing a higher build is good. All opinions aside I love the phone and the screen is what makes me love it so much. I would wait for the galaxy s 2 that I'm going to get when it comes out here. Hope your happy with your crappy.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword_of_a_1000_truths:
$200 sounds too much, i bought my 6mo old 1008 version for $150 and everything works fine. but an i897/6 at $200 and it being old and outdated(also with poor GPS on many of the units) very soon, i would rather save for sgsII or whatever else comes out when i have the money for it, which is what im doing now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Obviously, if a new phone were an option, subsidized or otherwise, I wouldn't be looking at this one. I'm looking for a phone to be bought outright and used with prepaid unlimited, with $200 as my outside limit, Android preferred. The "latest and greatest a year ago" would more than suffice. My current phone was by no means the greatest when it was the latest three years ago.

Looking around online, $190-225 seems to be the going rate for this device, used and undamaged. Is there a better Android value in that price range, without a contract plan? I've considered the LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile ($25 unlimited data/sms, minimal talk), but I'm not too confident in the Sprint network, and I suspect the Optimus is a worse value new at $200 than the Captivate used.

Are those model numbers, part of the serial number, or what? Would I find them in Settings>About or stamped somewhere on the device? I gather that 1008 or higher may be more prone to bricking during flash/root, but the jury's out? I don't even have my heart set on rooting the device, much less flashing ROMs, but it would all depend on how I like using it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
The build number is a matter of opinion. Older ones have buggy gps, newer ones don't. I've heard newer ones are a bit annoying to start modding. I'm on a 1008 build and have no complaints on it except maybe less than accurate gps, but I never cared that much for the gps.

On the price Its an old phone but I can say In Puerto Rico they still go for $200-$250 street value with box and almost new condition. $150-$200 if its very used, and a hand full that Ive gotten for $100 in working condition and resold. You could always try to find a soft bricked one and try fixing? Obviously this is based on where I live and Im one that keeps an eye out to make a quick buck lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I passed on this one, just because I decided it's not the right time for the expense, but the old Captivate still looks like a good option, so I'll keep my eyes open for another opportunity. Thanks for the feedback.

Same issue

I have the same problem, bud.

Updated my Ace to Gingerbread and found I couldn't send SMS with Packet Data turned on. Turn it off and SMS sends OK. I'm with Virgin (UK) which I believe is the same network as T-Mobile.

Re-flashed Froyo and all works as it used to. After that, I fired up Kies as I hoped to get an official version that way and sure enough it said there was a firmware update available so I installed that. Turned out to be the official Samsung Gingerbread and yet again i broke SMS when Packet Data was turned on.

I'm back to Froyo once more and have emailed Virgin to ask if they can offer any advice. I notice another report of this issue on another forum where the guy called Virgin and was apparently told the fault seemed to be with VM.

Sorry this doesn't provide an answer but thought it worth corroborating your symptoms.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Hamster:
Okay, gonna try to explain it.

1. Go to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak

2. Install the attached Mms.apk (It's from CM6)

3. Download AutomateIt from the Android Market (Just the free one)

4. Open it and add a rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should not be marked.

5. Save it and add a new rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is NOT marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should BE marked. Save this one, and you are done!

This will disable Mobile Data every time you open your Texts, and enable it then you exit your texts. The reason you need the CM6 Messaging-app, is that this tricks doesn't work with the original Samsung-app

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pssyche:
To kinda conclude my input (unless something crops up!) to this thread, I thought I would paste in my final post in the Virgin Media (UK) community forums regarding this SMS issue.

Got a response from VM on day 9 or 10. It was suggested that I try removing the battery whilst the phone was still on and then replacing it to "refresh the settings". No joy with that either. Suggested next step was to call 789 and ask for a techy.

Not going to bother. I've re-flashed Gingerbread and installed a custom ROM (thanks fla.sh - will press that button!) which is prettier, leaner, faster and has an option to turn packet data on and off from the power button menu. So, apart from all the improvements I have from an out-of-the-box, stock firmware, Ace, I just need to press the power button then touch "Disable" before I send an SMS and then press power and touch "Enable" afterward. And I can do that all *within* the reply (no need to leave the SMS app) as well so it really isn't a problem.

I'm sure the original issue will get resolved at some point but I'm truly delighted with the overall performance and enhancements I have gained - well worth the minor inconvenience of a couple of button/screen presses. (",)

Can I also add here, although off-topic, my thanks to you all for the invaluable advice to be found on these pages. This is my first Android phone and I've learned a lot over the last couple of weeks just browsing these forums. Thank you all!

Although sometimes you guys need to chill out a little!! (",)
