[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micindev:
Thanks, I found even more limitations last few days that's bugging me and makes device useless for me. No reason to wait for mango, device is for sale.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cricci:
mango 7.10 (7712)

I've installed mango 7712, Windows Phone Device Manager and

MangoB2 ZuneClient. But WPDM asks me to unlock my HTC HD7.

What should I do? Help! :confused:

(I hope soon be able to install Android)

thank you very much
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micindev:
Android would solve all my problems...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazylexes:
You really should give WP7 a chance ;) It's smooth, and a great difference between android and WP7 is that WP7 has got hardware acceleration and android doesn't. That does make it a fast phone ;)

It has downsides, like every phone. It lacks multitasking, in mango there will be partial multitasking.

Bing... yeah that's a problem, even here in in The Netherlands, gotta agree on that.

I don't know if you like to game on your phone, but WP7 is great for that, mostly becouse of the xbox live games ;)

I'd say, make some comparisations to android, there are allot of topics on that! And then, make your choice ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micindev:
I did, but it lacks features that I use on daily basis, I don't care about games or UI speed, I want to use device in way I like , Zune sux ass, I'm happy with Linux at home and have nothing to synchronize at office where i have to use windows because of cad apps, Zune is slow even on my 6 core in office anyway, Bluetooth sux, friend tried to send me some pics from wedding and wp7 failed, USB tethering sux, does not work with w7 x64 and need to reboot device if i want to use Zune each time, 16 bit color limitation, my portfolio looks horrible on that great samoled display, gdocs for wp7 does not work with xls files, I'm not going to pay for something what is free on other platforms and does not work as should, no latitude, which i used pretty much, bing maps suxs, does not work in my region and gmaps does not locate me at all, no routing, useless, natively works only with MS services which I don't use, and does not work with 3rd party services, even my 5 years old 200mhz wm or symbian device is faster on internet thanks to compressed data and holds battery better than this joke, IE core from PC is nice maybe on WiFi, but on 3g it sux ass, I miss flash, I can live with that, but it's something that I expect from device in 2011, Google solved flash, ms won't because of minor Silverlight - that's stupid and dealbreaker for many people (imagine IE with flash, Silverlight and html5) I don't use Facebook or any social network - platform is not designed for me, it's strong in services i don't use and lacks features i use every day, even my old a200 dumbphone Sonyericsson can multitask 3rd party java apps without hassle...wp7 makes me too much trouble every day, Symbian device is still my pocket so i have 2 devices instead of one. WP7 is just microsofted iphone and that's not enough.

If anyone works on porting Android for omnia7 I'm willing to donate 50 bucks, but to be honest, it must be here this month, before I sell or throw this crap into river.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazylexes:
You already made your decision ;) I'd say sell it! Since you already use linux, the synchronisation isn't worth much for you. And if you use the google services, you actually should get an android. WP7 just doesn't work for you.

I shouldn't wait for someone porting android to the omnia 7 if i were you. I've had a nexus one myself before getting an omnia, and I really liked it. I'd say, get a nexus S or a Galaxy S2, but I missed the microsoft services. (also xbox live attracts me).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micindev:
Yeah, thanks for ya time, device is for sale for a few days, hope someone will take it one day,

Its shame that MS didn't go any further with wp7 compared to ios, because Omnia is nice piece of hw...
[LG Optimus 2x] ergosum:
Hi,

I have bought an usb cable on the market and i found it very slow to charge the phone compared to the lg cable. I found out that maybe it was because some usb output 1A, some 500ma, some 200ma.

Each time I ask a seller how much intensity the usb output, they don't know. How I am supposed to know this if I don't have a multimeter? (and a computer + 2 filaments each time I am in the market)

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
It depends on the charger, not the cable. Computer usb output is always 500ma
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Unless you have a new motherboard with a dedicated charging port, the max you can get over USB is 500mA.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergosum:
Well well, this night I checked again if I was wrong and no.

Indeed, I charged my phone which was at 2%. It raised to around 70% in 7 hours! I used a market usb charger, in my pc usb port. And the phone was off (android not started).

Now, if I use my LG stock usb in the same usb port, I can charge at least 30% in 1~2 hours, phone with android started.

Moreover, I googled and found out that if you hacked you usb cable, something with the data pin thing, you can have an 1A current. So the 500mA is a specification limit, but in practice you can have more I think.

Or... maybe my phone displayed a wrong battery status? How can I know if I buy a cable, that it charges fast?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
NONONONONONO!!!!

Do not try and draw more than 500mA from your USB port, this is a terrible idea, stop now.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergosum:
I am not wanting to draw more than 500 mA, thank you for that. I know that it may break my usb card or something like that. No I just want to get an usb that charges my phone in one night. I have one cable that does that, one that doesn't. It means either:

case A:

Lg usb cable = 500 mA

cheap usb cable = 200mA

case B:

Lg usb cable = 1A

cheap usb cable = 500mA

case C:

my computer likes the Lg usb and gives it more current.

:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes, but turning your cable into a charge only cable (shorting the data pins) will make the phone think it's on AC when it's plugged into a USB port and try to draw 1A.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Well it is possible that you got lousy quality cable, meaning it has high resistance (bad copper quality, maybe it even isn't copper, who knows) and/or very thin wires inside, which makes it hard to transfer high current. Although 0,5 A is not really "high". This needs some measuring, but if you don't have multimeter and some practice with that, you're better of with new cable :)

I can recommend this one, charging with it right now: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-micro-usb-data-cable-for-htc-g7-120cm-length-48714 - there are cheaper ones but wouldn't recommend. While you're at it, DX has some micro HDMI cables too :D
[LG Optimus 2x] cstone1991:
Out of curiosity, if your main concern is to charge your phone in 1 night then why not....

A. Use the supplied cable with your computer.

Or....

B. Use the supplied AC adapter.

Now for your question:

In my experience cheap cables typically don't work as well for either charging or data throughput as their higher quality counterparts. I have cut a few of them for various projects and cheap cables usually have cheap, high gauge wire (higher gauge wire means smaller diameter for anyone not familiar with the AWG standard.) The smaller diameter translates into higher resistance and ultimately lower current through the cable. That is probably why your phone charges slowly on the cheap cable.

As others have said its not recommended to modify the cable to draw more current. Best case it could cause something to stop working like the port on your computer or phone or the cable its self. Worst case it could cause an electrical fire.

If you want to test my hypothesis as well as another cable before you buy it then get a multimeter and test the resistance. I never cared enough to test my theory so it isn't confirmed, just a very probable theory (this is the same reason why really cheap jumper cables take a long time to jump start your car when higher quality ones generally let you start the car right away.) I would test for you on some usb cables I have laying around but my multimeter is burried somewhere in a box at the moment from when I moved.

[LG Optimus 2x] cstone1991:
Lol you posted this as I was typing my reply.

At the end of the day a high quality USB cable is not much more expensive than a low quality one. Its usually best to spend a little more for one that works as it should.

Edit* I looked back at the time stamp and I guess I just overlooked your post.

Sent from my V6 Supercharged GSB Eris
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
:D

In DX case, there is 1$ difference between cheaper and ok quality cable. Not really worth to even think about it ;) . I've got 2 of those, very satisfied.

Yesterday I forgot to charge my LG, it was completely empty and turned off when I woke up. Plugged in to PC via USB extender cable and it was charged to 50% in 3 hours while turned on, did some surfing, emails 'n stuff. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
There is a telling that says: "You get what you pay for"

The only reasons I can think of is that ether the cables contacts are broke, its poorly soldiered, and or they have used a extremely cheap metal inside it to make it cheaper. As most should have learned in school all electricity goes by V=R*I (almost all). By looking on that we easily see that the only possible way for it to be as you describe it is that the other cable have a lot more of resistance that "eats" up the electrical current.

Conclusion: Don't buy the cheapest crap you find you'll end up regretting it any way.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
My Atrix enters car dock mode fine. I have stock rom with root/unlock and Faux's kernel 1.2. I'm too lazy to upgrade and it seems to work fine for me.

My atrix can enter car dock mode fine, but sometimes when I remove the phone from the dock it does not register it as being removed. This means rotated lock screens, home goes to car dock, speaker on phone, and the appearance of it charging even though it is not. (It doesn't seem to sense the mA.., even if plugged into a different charger)

I have recently frozen the car dock app to see if this changes things, but it doesn't. It just now goes straight to home.

Anyone know how to kill the car dock... service? Thing?

Anyone thinking of jumping to the new bb 9850? Just curious
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Doubt it It looks nice but no potential compare to the evo, btw get your shield I smell some trolls coming soon and they might flame you :D
[HTC EVO 3D] FaithCry:
kind of backwards to go to a blackberry, unless you really need the security... and its not worth updating to a bb until the new OS comes out since OS7 is pretty much a dead end.
[HTC EVO 3D] corybucher:
Yeah, thanks for The responses would never leave my evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] graffixnyc:
hell no! I was a LOYAL crackberry user for YEARS.. I always said I would never use anything except a BB... when I was thinking of making the switch to Android I was REALLY REALLY nervous and hesitant about it since I loved my BB so much... the first Android phone I had was the G2, then the myTouch 4G, then the G2x, then the Sensation, now the Evo 3d... after the first 5 minutes I was hooked.. and I only missed my BB a teeny tiny bit the first few days (the things I missed most were the physical keyboard and spell check in every single input field) but once I experienced Android there was no going back to BB EVER...
[HTC EVO 3D] thesparky007:
its not jumping its more like falling

[HTC EVO 3D] :
I will never ever go back to a blackberry. I've had multiple blackberry phones, and they've all suffered from the white screen of death. That's with no third party apps installed. The horror, THE HORROR!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Actually I didn't but now that you bring it up I think I will. Yep mad.. I mean why bring this to the 3D thread does any one actually think that a 3D owner would switch to a BB. Get real. Maybe the main android thread would be a better place for this. I don't know of any 3D owners jumping ship to another phone especially a BB. We currently own one of the best (one of the best) phones on the market. No BB is going to take its place.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Preach on my man! I had a bb loaned to me while I was waiting for the 3d to drop and I ended up buying a old hero off craigslist for the meantime, so I actually spent extra so i wouldn't fall asleep trying to check Facebook.

[Defy General] andrerossini:
friends,

I need help ...

After a trial that went wrong to access the root in my part of the Defy touchscreen stopped working. I sent for motorola technical assistance and returned as not having any problems, and to solve the problem just reset the phone. They said it was a corrupted file on the phone.

It turns out that now another part of the touchscreen is not working. I already did a flash wipereset and wanted to know if you have any other way I can make a master reset on the Defy.

I've tried installing the original SBF with RSD Lite. And I have tried to wipe reset. Any other possibility?!

Thanks for the help ...
[Defy General] farsight73:
Seemed you already tried reset, wipe and flashing. But the problem persist.

It could be now down to the screen touch panel faulty or the touch control faulty in the motherboard.
[Defy General] andrerossini:
You are suggesting it may be a hardware problem?
[Defy General] farsight73:
Yea since you already tried flashing different rom.

I might be wrong but based on your posting above it could be the hardware problem.

An old man suggestion: Might work for you too. Flash it to a stock rom and make sure everything worked(of course except the touch issue). Then shut down and take out the battery. Leave it for 24 hours and try again putting back battery and boot it. Sometimes some small voltages trapped in the board that may resulting phone acting crazy. This normally due to a bad motherboard. Having leave it complete shut down for 24hours will simply drained those trap voltages in the board and the device is good to go. Now this will not permanently fixed your problem though.

I just got an XTC Clip and am unable to S-OFF after following instructions. I'm attempting this on a Telus HTC Status. Can someone walk me through this, if the S/W's instructions were incorrect? Thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Whe you run XTC-Software, there is step-by=step guide how to do this, what do you think, what we should write more?
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
I followed the step-by-step. There's one step which is contradictory:

The s/w instructs me to hit Power button for Diag, but it only works when I hit the Volume-Down button. I think that the s/w refers to the ChaCha when it says "HTC Click".

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, as others have done this successfully. Will try again.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Yes, you doing everything ok. There is mistake in step-by-step guide.

When you generate goldcard and put in on phone, run bootloader it will start init. Diag module. Need to wait until you will see question "Vol+Up = Diag?" or something like that. Then you will go to diag module when will be Clear ... option. You activate this option by presing power button.
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
Doesn't work. I go all the way until the last step: “Clear s58 Data” and press the Power button to select. Then the phone simply reboots (it does NOT give me an option to clear security). Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: I think I found the problem. The SIM adapter supplied with the XTC clip isn't the same size as a regular SIM. Hence, it doesn't get inserted completely, as it doesn't "click" into place. Therefore, I suspect a connection issue I can't do anything about. Is there a place where I can purchase an XTC Clip SIM adapter that is the same size as the SIM and can "click" into place? Thx.

PS> I also tried a factory reset before trying to S-OFF.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Yeah, there is a problem with this cables, but there is a simply solution provided on xtcclip forum. You simply need to put some extra layer of sticky paper on pack of sim connection. And for simple reason, stick wire that going from xtc box to the case.

1 mod: http://wieckiewicz.org/xda/DSC07900.jpg

2 mod: http://wieckiewicz.org/xda/img20110801010152.jpg

1st mod helping with some noises in signal going through sim connection.

2ns is simply for safety, becouse you can put wire out from box :)
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
Tried that, doesn't work. The SIM adapter simply isn't staying in there fully. It needs to "click" into place, which it doesn't :(
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Yeah, I know what you have on mind. I have that same problem, but I use my SIM card to push XTC Cable on place with proper "click" sound. First be sure that you take out your sim card probler - bu click-out, to have possible do to click-in.

And be sure, that you using correct cable :)
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
It worked! I used a dummy SIM card to push the XTC cable all the way in until it stuck (had to try a few times until it stuck). It's now S-OFF. Thanks for all your help!
[HTC ChaCha] mans550:
Sucessfully S-Off but not unlocked :(

I got the s-off to work finally... You need to double check that the cables are in the right way round and make sure the sim card is fully in until it clicks by using another sim to push it in fully...

Only problem is it didn't unlock the phone like it says it would...

I put a different sim card in but still not accepting

anyone got a solution
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
Interesting. I had it unlocked via code before using the Clip to S-OFF, so not sure if it would have worked for me either. Perhaps iDAREK can help.
