[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rustybob:
It was a lot of things actually. There was the similarity between the HD2 and the Desire. Android being open source also helped a lot. But probably one of the biggest things was some ingenuity from one of the developers (can't remember off the top of my head). Basically, the HD2 doesn't seem to really support any multitouch except for pinch-to-zoom (believed to be hardware limitation), which probably explains why this works fine in WP7. Ingenuity at the driver level got 2-point multi-touch working in about 99% of the ways one would use it.

I would think we will never see a fix for Windows phone. If I remember correctly, it is technically possible to use hardware that doesn't use a driver that comes built-in to the OS, but no manufacturer has done this to date, and they're on their own when it comes to drivers. As such, other than someone on the Windows Phone team at Microsoft, I don't think anyone knows how to write a driver for Windows Phone.

Personally, I don't care about multi-touch at all. The only multitouch thing I'd ever do is pinch-to-zoom, which does work fine. Even then, I don't use it all that often. If I want to zoom in to read something, I double-tap and it zooms in for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DarkoLord:
I think the only real problem would be if the drivers have to be signed (I'm not sure how it is now), and even then there could be workarounds.

Reverse engineering and modifying drivers is of course quite possible, so I don't see any reason why someone with knowledge and enough time (and fortunately, there are quite a few such people out there) wouldn't be able for example, to compare drivers from HD2 and HD7 and modify them.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] wantsree:
I tried to root my phone using universal-androot and it was successful. After that i flashed clockworkmod recovery. And i thought of making a back-up of my current stock-ROM and there it was... my phone suddenly got blacked-out. Now i cant even turn-on my phone. I tried all the different possibilities like holding 'vol down+home+power', 'vol up+vol down+power', dint work :( .!! help me please :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
I was told that you can't backup stock roms using clockworkmod.

Can you turn the phone on in any mode? normal/download/anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] wantsree:
Nop :( !! can't do anything. Tried all the patterns.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
did the phone do anything before it turned off? or did it just go blank?

Also, can you remember what clockworkmod was saying before it went blank? e.g. what processes it was undergoing?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] wantsree:
I think the problem is with clockworkmod recovery. Coz while trying to flash the recovery, I was asked to select the phone model, but 'samsung galaxy 5' was not in the list, So i selected 'Huawei model' or something in order complete the installation! but still the installation was successful. And when i clicked 'Backup my current ROM' the phone suddenly got switched-off.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] evildave_666:
Were you trying to install the recovery from rom manager?

You need to install it via odin for the Galaxy 5.

Your phone probably needs a time+materials trip to the service centre.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Yeah, flashing that can't have done your phone any good :( Rom manager doesnt (yet) support our phone
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] rpadula:
have you tried firmware download mode?

remove your battery, put it back on

now press volume down, central select button and power.

keep holding till a yellow sign appears with android and a broom

now go to odin and flash CWM recovery or other rom.

madteam.co forum has lots of info about europas
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mikereidis:
It appears to me he did.

I had the same problem.

I removed the battery for 30 minutes, and removed the SIM. SIM removal was necessary.

Remove the SD Card too; it might help.

[Desire HD Accessories] stumpyz9:
ok just ordered theese 2 cases from amazon found here and was won dering if anyone had any expirience with either of them. there were no reviews so i thought someone here might have them. thanks in advance for any info.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
I haven't seen them before but they look nice. I like the darker one.

I tried and reviewed a couple of similarish TPU cases for the Desire HD if you fancy comparing. (Just hobby stuff)
[Desire HD Accessories] rayarny:
Yup I have the black one.. its a really good case on that price range! Fits very well and its quite sturdy..Very good to grip as they have different texture on the sides! Highly recommended!
[Desire HD Accessories] Max-E-Moose:
I have one that is almost identical to the darker of the two.

I accidentally dropped my phone twice since I got it and the case did it's job well.

It makes the phone slightly chunkier too, which is both good and bad.

It does make it slightly easier to hit the power button when in landscape though.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kation:
My x1 now has a big problem!

When u start it, it will show you spl always.

Unless u start it with usb power...

And then it get in the windows mobile.

But u can not connect to pc.

Although it show u which way want to connect to pc, there is nothing happen in pc.

No USB Device found!

I try another x1, it was successful.

But mine is not.

And if u connect to pc, then u can not get charge with usb port unless u restart it...

It means u can not flash it with activesync.

But it can get flash with spl screen.

So, I know that

When u get in windows mobile, the usb is failure.

I flash other rom, but it doesn't work...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Which Country are you from Coz I think you. Have installed 2.3.4 manually (that is the europe version) and you are from a different country so GPS is slow and laggish !

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
I am in Canada and have had lousy GPS performance from the start. I flashed JVR with KG3 (Bell) modem and CSC. GPS works great.

I have tried different ROMs from stock to far from stock and different ROMs act differently on GPS performance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marceli67:
Sorry to say but IMHO i9000 GPS is bad. You can make some settings mods to get faster fix but that's all. It is somehow working when you have good sats view (it reports good signal with fix from enough number of sats) but when for ex. driving trough inferior sat signal area (streets surrounded by tall buildings, etc.) you are out of luck. Fix position goes to hell.

I've experimented with my old wm phone, i780. It has not so good Qualcom GPS One chipset and I managed to send it's fix using BT to i9000. Guess what? It was ok! Sat fix was reported in i9000 as a poor accuracy but in fact it was ok and stable while using it with maps applications. Go figure! Old, bad i780 GPS shows better then "I can see more satellites with stronger signal and I have better accuracy" i9000 build in GPS.

After this test I connected external BT GPS on MTK chipset. I have to wait ~30 second for fix but after that I have no nasty surprises driving my car through "canyon" streets.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taepodong1101:
Its got nothing to do with the ROMs. I9000 is well known for its ****ty GPS.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elhennig:
:confused:

Would you share with us, where you got this wisdom from?

My SGS works perfectly well regarding GPS performance for more than 6 months now not depending on my current location: US west coast and Hawaii it worked great as well as in Italy and various parts of Germany. Fix is usually the within seconds (presuming free sight to the sky). Also the android version had no influence: I started with stock 2.2, upgrading to various 2.2.1, 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and now 2.3.5 (also with different custom kernels).

Where and when did you having GPS problems get your SGS? Maybe there is batch with faulty soldered GPS antennas. However, I don't see a reason why the SGS should have a bad GPS performance in general.

Hi, can I install last clockworkmod recovery 5.0.1.0 from another recovery (4Ext) choosing install from zip file?

I tried android flasher but I had error problem. [PVT4, CM7-r2 hboot]
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
U can install from an other recovery, but it will a fake flash..its like a temp recovery, after reboot u lost it..its not a permanent one

to change permanently the recovery, u need s-off, then do this steps

-install htc sync drivers (install htc sync, uninstall it but leave drivers)

-download this file and extract on ur computer (its a minimal set of files to use fastboot commands)

-put the recovery img file in the same folder u extract the above files

-in the shell, navigate to ur above folder..like cd C:\folder-name

-put ur phone in fastboot mode, plug the usb

-from ur computer start/run/cmd, then write fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img

-fastboot reboot

that's all

(u will find all this by searching :) )

[Off-topic] Wilsonium:
I'm with Throwaway.... the original story looked more like an ad for the restaurant and go as far as talking about what was on the menu... Personally, I think the iPhone is a great device. I also think some of the higher end Android phones are equally great... it's why I have a mix of both on my TMO account.

Guys, it's IFA time in Berlin, Samsung is owning the show with the beasts of beauty, the Note and the 7.7" tablet and Apple has to stay relevant. So just a little bullsh1t PR and makes the headlines.

foolishly I entered contact data other than: first, last, phone

The DX froyo contact export inconveniently ignores most of the fields with data. I have not found an app capable of exporting. nandroid while a backup is not an export and I have not rooted the froyo. hopefully the root gingerbread ota.602 claim is legit.

ideas?

caveats: I have not added a gmail account to my phone nor do I plan to. I use funambol for contact backup as I have given up on verizons backup service: it has quadrupled my local contacts. I haven't the foggiest how to extract a file from funambol; it appears one cannot.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jyveafk:
Looks great, a worthy successor to the original (nay, Classic tab?).

That Galaxy Note looks rather tasty too. Similar spec, but in a 5.3inch screen?

Pretty obvious now that no single machine is going to rule the roost in regards to tablets, but Samsung have a device for pretty much every single size screen you can think of. (and/or have pockets/bags for!).

Very nice stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
there's no info bout phone call capability eh >.<

i would love to upgrade to this one if it can made phone call, sigh
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jyveafk:
Oh, one thing that I was reminded of with all the Apple lawsuits, this must mean that Apple have no plans to release this size device.

They got a look at all this stuff a few months ago. Samsung asked to look at their future products and was denied, guess that means that these products CAN'T even be accused of infringing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jyveafk:
Probably a US thing they'll knock off alas. Then again, with the annoyance/feedback they got before, maybe they won't try this daft idea again and fully enable it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Declan79:
Isnt it still dual gsm frequency? Had to admit this is very tempting but why samsung still on the same camera? The capacitive button also adopt gtab 10'. Very like the samoled and screen not to mention the thick and back cover

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] beestee:
Almost 1/2 inch wider and about 1/4 inch taller...but thinner and with well rounded edges. Should be just as if not more pocketable than the 7.0. Pockets still too small? I am pretty sure that is why the Note exists.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
My one concern with this thing is that it looks a bit more fragile than the current 7". Otherwise, I'm going to have a hard time preventing myself from trading up.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] beestee:
A metal case and I presume a gorilla glass screen. In hand I imagine that concern will fade.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
I would do that, too, if the 7+ had better screen res. I'm holding out for a small tab with good resolution, and right now there are only 2 on the market that are under 8" with good res. I'd consider the 8.9, but the AT&T version is 10x better than the wifi version, and I ain't going AT&T.

boo. I don't want to wait that long. If something else decent comes out first, Samsung will have lost me.

And does he need another friend?

Love to know what 3 will let me have when my contract renews next year. Dont know whether to get a 10.1 (old hat now) or this 7.7 one. The original Tab is a fantastic bit of kit and I love using it, find the size just right. Hmm, just checked the 3 site and they are only selling the iPad (balls to that) or the HTC flyer.

Don't like either of them.

The galaxy tab 7.7 was released in Australia yesterday, although it appears only the wi-fi version is available at this stage - it's avaiable both online and in stores of one aussie retailer - stock has been confirmed in store by numerous users.

Check out the whirlpool website (google 'whirlpool forums' then click on 'Andoid Tablets' under the heading 'Mobile' where you will find the topic "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" where people are dscussing where the tabs are starting to turn up.

Dicksmith electronics website in australia are selling them online and in store (they have stock available via both - unfortunately I can't provide the direct links to either website as I'm new....the website won't allow me

Price drop at amazon to 349. Returned my kindle fire and ordered a 7 plus. Don't want to wait for the 7.7, though if it comes out soon, and isn't crazy expensive, maybe I'll upgrade..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nostalgie:
Picked up the Galaxy tab 7.7 yesterday

I'll post a lengthier impression tonight since I'm at work now.

1. Boxing - comes with the usual connectors, samsung headphones, AC power adaptor.

2. Battery Life

Battery life is excellent on the 7.7. I could leave it on all day regularly using it for emails, webpages etc and I have no need to charge it until that night after playing a few games on it. I get roughly 10-12 hours out of it at the moment I imagine this will increase once we are able to root the device and get rid of the bloatware etc.

3. Screen - just wow, fantastic screen amazing quality, no dead pixels or screen bleeding.

In regards to newspapers: I ran dolphin HD browser and looked at a number (NY times, Local News papers etc). I find that holding the tab in portrait mode i would need to zoom in as the writing is plain too small, however holding it in landscape i can scroll up and down and I personally haven't found an instance where i need to zoom in. This being said I am 29 and I don't wear glasses, my boss looked at it who does wear glasses and thought that the size of the tablet would be too small for him as he uses an ipad.

4. Wifi works fine, picks up everything. Browser speed, xda forums and other websites take between 3.5 seconds to 5 seconds to load fully (5 seconds being the heavier pages).

5. No Infra red port like shown on ritchie's room review, whether this is only on the 3g version I'm not sure - or maybe Samsung took it out at the last minute to differentiate between the 7.0 Plus.

6. Weight/size - so very light leaves everything else for dead, makes me wonder how people carry around ipads to clients/uni etc. Size is good, you can hold it with one hand, video's take up the full screen rather than leave black lines across the top and bottom.

7. Gripe: Date and time I clicked on the wrong time zone (9.5 instead of 10) and from the settings it refuses to accept me changing it. I may need to reset it to stock to make the correct selection which would be annoying. However this is more than likely a software issue so that can be fixed.

8. can't wait for an ICS update for this device.

9. Codecs

I have run the following movie formats:

- Xvid

- Mpeg 4

- Mkv

- wmv

not had any issues with them either

10. GPS no issues, picks me up within 50 feet
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
Just noticed this also. For the specs the "Plus" comes with and the new price, I think this is a darn good buy. Starting to pull me away from wanting an 8.2 Xyboard now.
