hi

i want to bay samsung foucs and i`m android user

my questions is

can i use themes and launchers and change look screen like android ?

is there equalizer in music player ?

can i make jailbreak and install hack apps like iphone ?

and if i bought samsung foucs at&t unlocked can i use 3g and sms and mms with no at&t sim card ?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Welcome to WP7 community.

Here are your answers:

1. No, you can't use themes and launchers. However, Metro UI should be enough and you can customize the tiles (add/delete/move, even use live tiles).

2. There is no equalizer in music player

3. Yes

4. Yes, but you do need the phone to be SIM unlocked and have a valid/active SIM in (any network)
[Focus General] adiliyo:
for #4, you also need to make sure the focus' 3g bands are the same as the ones for the provider you want to use it on, for example, while the focus will work on the USA tmobile network, it won't get 3g service on it, only edge.
[Focus General] gelgel133:
thank you

and in n.2 i saw in video review of hd7 srs in music player so can i put this in foucs because the music very important to me

thank you

the 3g not important to me

but sms & mms is very important
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Make sure you install the Network Profile app from Samsung to change carrier settings. Suggested (if you jailbreak) to install Samsung Tools
[Focus General] gelgel133:
thank you

i`m sorry i have three more questions because i will buy it tomorrow- 230 dollar in ebay (new)

what about the speaker loud or what ?

mobile work good with memory cards or slow ?

and is there any solution for equalizer in music ?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
1. Speaker is decent. I would say medium, does the job. Doesn't wake up the neighbours if that's what you're looking for :) A quote that might interest you, with which I agree mostly(from here):

Call Quality

The call quality on the Focus was, to say the least, impressive. When using a headset, if no one talked, the line was completely silent. No buzzing, no background noise. Silent. The Focus appears to handle some form of noise cancellation, as tapping the bottom of the device can be heard in the earpiece while in a call. Whatever it does, it works, and the result is extremely impressive.

Last, but not least: The sound

The external speakers on the Focus are loud, which is good. Unfortunately, when hitting high volumes, the sound quality tends to muffle a little, and good luck getting any bass out of the mono speaker. To be fair, however, the Focus sounds pretty much like every other smartphone without headphones in. On the plus side, it has the Music+Video hub, making listening to music fun.

2. Cards work well as long as these are Class 2 or 4. There's a thread here about working cards.

3. Not really. I sincerely doubt another music app will appear soon and maybe, just maybe, in Mango, the player has this.

Hi,

I have removed the new timescape and want to install the timescape from 2.1. How can I do this?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acerulz:
if u have the 2.1 working on ur phone then copy the apk of timescape and all related files ... and once u use 2.3 at that time jus copy it back to ur system/app folder..

hope u have it rooted and wid superuser perms....

thank me if it helps!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silbeer:
Does anyone know if this worked? I would like to know if I can get timescape to show my emails (not just gmail accounts) like it did in 2.1

Also does anyone know how to re-integrate emails back into the infinity function in 2.3? I know ppl prefer trimming or even removing timescape/infinity since it is so resource consuming but it was actually nice having emails and even the pictures sorted with contact info. I realize that going back to 2.1 would be the easiest solution but that limits a lot of things including the availability of apps, etc.

Sorry I did a search and found nada. I even tried to start to post a thread and it suggested I check this one out first. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPeel:
Hi,

In my brief run-in with the TW update before going back to stock, the only thing I was really impressed with was the Video Player (not the red icon Google one, the white icon one).

I've tried ADB'ing the VideoPlayer.apk into /system/app following an unsuccessful attempt to install it normally and the icon is there but it FC's.

Has anyone been successful in installing this app on the Stock 3.1 ROM and if so, how?

I'm not sure how to check what possible dependencies it has.

Thanks,

Neil.

You might have something running in the background. Try to use Advance Task Killer. If it does not help, maybe you should flash another rom like Revolution Rom by Ali.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkakuma:
Check how old your battery is. You might need to replace it. Or you can just ODIN back to stock and see how long you last on stock ROM and kernel and see if your battery lasts.

[LG Optimus 2x] Agustus:
There are so many SW available ..for lost or stolen phone.

The protection / safeguard features offered by them are impressive.

But, I feel that anyone who can deliberately

Hard Reset the phone installed with these SW

can effectively negate or bypass the protection.

Perhaps there are other ways too which I am not aware of.

Unless there is some form of protection to prevent

this.

Can this be done ? Is there a way to fully protect your

phone from any tampering unless a password is entered ?

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
I guess not, but I remember having WaveSecure installed on my G1 in the system. If the thief would then wipe your phone, the program is still installed on it. A thief would have to completely install a new rom to wipe off the program. That's the best solution you can get right now I guess, but for that you'll have to be rooted. ( https://www.wavesecure.com/blog/post/turning-on-gps-remotely.aspx )

I don't know if this is possible with other programs, but am actually interested. Anyone knows about a free program that can track / wipe / lock stuff up and installed in the android system?
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
There is a project called prey which i'm testing. It's free but not (yet) as advanced as some others.

Google on Prey project and it should come up.
[LG Optimus 2x] Agustus:
Perhaps a solution is to have a Unique ID Key.

Without which the phone cannot be tampered with, rooted, hard reset

or anything be done to it without this Master Key feature.

The Unique ID key should be one off and issued by the manufacturer

for each phone. And this key is required even by the service station

to open the phone. If the phone is sold by the owner then he

can provide the ID key to the buyer with a small test feature

embedded within for the buyer to verify if key is the right one.

This may help in some ways as the thief would then be forced to

return the phone to the owner for some monetary consideration

rather than be stuck with a brick.

Today's smart phones contain a lot of information and data potential

and these could be much more valuable ( to the owner ) than

the phone itself. And many more new capabilities are being

introduced such as e wallet and e credit cards etc.

And it is not convenient always to update/backup the data on to a PC etc.

The data on the SD card is not an issue as it can always

be saved after encryption.

Read recently that in UK a phone is stolen every 12 seconds.

I am sure the figures for stolen phones are high in other countries too.
[LG Optimus 2x] luik:
I am using Theft Aware.

It is NOT overwritten by a hard reset.

It can only be overwritten by installing a new ROM which is a significant additional protection against the average thief.

It does not require an internet connection (remotely controlled by SMS)

It only costs 3€.

It works flawlessly on my Optimus 2X.

I have successfully tested most of the features.

The only disadvantage is that I have to reconfigure it after each ROM update.
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
But it doesn't take long to reconfigure. I agree Theft Aware is excellent on the O2X.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
You can download the attached file and flash it from CWM. It will install Launcher Pro, and upon start-up, you will get the option to choose your launcher again. You can then just delete Launcher Pro once you are done.

The reason for installing Launcher Pro, is that anytime a new launcher is installed or deleted, you will get the launcher selection menu to popup again. The packages that you were installing all had the same version of zeam launcher in them, so that is why you get not get the option to popup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katrina.adams:
Thanks to both of you!

Last night I found and installed a newer version of Zeam launcher and got access to the apps back. Not because I realized that Zeam was the problem, I was just going through and trying to update the apps I had installed to manage the device.

I'm going to clip and save the thread - just in case!

Thanks guys! Ill give it a try once I get the Nook away from the wife ;) I gave it too her for her Bday and I use it more then her!

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mclaren2:
is there a way to reset the 7-editions for free counter somehow? the way i see it its simple shareware like you used to re-install all the time on windows 9x to get the 30days free testing again.

would a reinstallation of pressreader do the same?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] igot6strings:
I know if you wipe your system you can get the 7 issues again so it must just be a file somewhere that you'd need to delete, also if you install the market version you get the 7 free issues again as well.

Hi Dad.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I got to thinking about it and determined that if it wasn't for the iPhone hackers, Apple might not be as generous with their iOS updates.

Now that my HD2 is dead, I was thinking about the fun of having newness on my smartphones. I don't wish to hack them so that leaves carrier updates to alleviate the boredom of not having something new and fresh to play with. The trouble is, carriers rarely update our phones. Very seldom does a carrier provide something new and interesting for users to play with.

That lead me to thinking about my iPhone. The iPhone gets updates quite frequently. There is always something new and fresh to play with on the iPhone. Or at least look forward to updates, even if they don't provide much to play with.

This lead me to think about why Apple would be so generous with updates. They are a company and are in business for the dollar, not the customer. They, like any other company, couldn't give a poop about what the user wants or needs, other than providing satisfaction to keep sales going. Sales are going strongly for other platforms and without the generous updates. So there had to be a reason for Apple to provide such an update policy.

This lead me to the idea that Apple does updating for selfish reasons...to thwart the hackers as much as possible.

That's why I give a big shout-out and thank-you to all of the hackers who are making my smartphone experience less boring. Thanks to them I don't need to root my phones or jailbreak them. :)
[General Topics] Rejinderi:
Haha.. the first impression that came to my mind when i saw this thread's topic I thought its supposed to be a joke. but yea. hell true. glad to have all the hackers around. :)
[General Topics] xaccers:
Well, there's been several bugs that apple have had to fix/hide.

Most publicised one is of course Apple's attempt to deny the death grip by releasing a 5 bar signal update and higher threshold. The death grip issue is of course still there.

Then there's the alarm/daylight savings issue that even after several updates wasn't fixed properly resulting in lots of people oversleeping and some actually losing their jobs.
[General Topics] Rejinderi:
It seemed like iPhone 5 will be a big release with all the new features.. even one whose biased with android, wp7, etc. cant deny that. wonder what will competitors come out with :S. Good to have competition though
[General Topics] HoneyCombs:
I dont think your giving Apple enough credit. I have a mac and they do an incredible job of releasing updated (and new features) without the need to have to pay for an entire new OS. Look at OS4 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod, thats an amazing upgrade and all for free!
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Yeah, that's something to consider. Thanks for your input. I use Windows PC OSes and never have any insight into the Mac side of the business. I see no stories about Apple needing to thwart Mac OS hackers.

I would love to believe Apple cares enough about customers to provide updates and goodness just for the kindness and responsibility of it all. The rest of the system has me jaded, though. MS lead early WP7 adopters to believe updates for WP7 would be frequent and plentiful and that they, themselves, would bypass the carriers and do the updating, like Apple does. Look how that turned out.

Hi

Anyone care to share their profile and voltage setup they have for setcpu on samsung s2, if running it of course?

I am trying voltage settings but s2 keeps freezing with cognition 1.3.1 so keen to know what others have set.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrxd:
Its cpu/phone specific, so what works for me may not work for you. Experiment by knocking values down by their minimum value and your phone is still stable.

That being said for the past 2 weeks I've been running the following under volt on both ninphetamine and cf-root kernels with no data loss /instability

200/800mV 500/850mV 800/950mV 1000/1050mV 1200/1150mV

Good luck

Good to see this thread. I wanted to share my setup but didn't wanted to make a thread so I will do it here. I'm not going to write alot of crap, only some pictures so you can check it yourself. Only thing I want to share is that I froze some stock apps I don't use and running processes like whatsap, bln, widgetlocker, setcpu and some other widget services. And I have no lag or whatsoever because of the underclocked cpu...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupos89:
I use the same with ninphetamine :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
what voltages do you use for 1400 and 1600? The stock ones are good, but as soon as i pull them down, it hangs randomly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Voltage Setup depends on kernel as you all know, and CF kernel doesn't allow it, least in KF3 it isn't there.

And there is a dedicated SetCPU thread already made before,
