I think there's this new method called "interop" unlock, and by just deploying the file you can unlock the phone.

The instructions from heallthcliff says that by just deploying the .xap file using any deployment tool then it all other doings will be phone based diagnosis app.

I guess the tricky part is how to deploy the file, the remaining tasks is not that hard anymore.

My phone was previously unlocked before going to mango, but once the mango was installed the phone already locked by itself.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
le sigh...

Interop-unlock is a superset of dev-unlock. It's not a new method of anything, it's just another level of access. The very concept of it has no meaning without dev-unlock.

The method for achieving interop-unlock requires already having dev-unlock on all phones except LG 9since they have a built-in regeditor). Samsung phones can do it from already being in Mango. HTC phones require that you first roll back to NoDo (before dev-unlock was crippled by removing the capabilities now called interop-unlock) and set the phone up before upgrading again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jtphl:
my phone is already in Mango and its locked, how do I unlock it? How do I do it on a Samsung Focus?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zoiter123:
At this point it would be a good idea to read what the other people have put thoroughly.

There is no way to unlock if you are on mango at this time.

You are going to have to flash back to 7004(Not mango, or NoDo.) and then unlock and build up from there until you are on unlocked mango.
[HTC Sensation] RoverDuck:
Evening all,

Just got my new sensation, really happy with it at the mo. Still using the stock ROM, but I'm sure I'll change soon.

I have tried to search but can't find the answer. What I would like to know is can a change the shortcuts at the bottom of the stern ie the app and theme buttons?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Yes but you will need to use an alternate launcher like ADW, Go Launcher, etc. It would replace the Sense launcher so you do lose some Sense functionality.
[HTC Sensation] RoverDuck:
Thanks,

I thought as much. Really wanted to keep all my sense for now.

how come my battery drains so fast when using it only last 4 hrs then its dead but when on sleep mode it could last over 13 hrs

is there any recommended radio or anything

im on MIUI btw CM7 kills my battery like crazy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
The display uses the most battery; if the 4hrs that it takes to kill it is 4hrs of browsing, games, etc. then that makes sense. Your best bet would be to turn off auto-brightness and set your display brightness really low.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
So you have this drain on both MIUI and CM7? What are you doing throughout the time that you're using the device?

You will obviously get more or less life based on what you're doing with it. Playing games or streaming music/video will kill your battery. Light use with occasional apps and texting will give you much more

If the device is sitting sleeping and still only gets 13hours though you probably have a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUndertaker21:
browsing listing to music. i get more than 13 hrs but when i use it i can see it dropping every 2 or 3 mns thats crazy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkenga:
Get a new battery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Well when the screen is on browsing and you're listening to music, I'm not surprised at all that you see a % drop every 2 or 3 minutes. That's not surprising at all.

If with normal/slightly heavy use throughout the day you're getting 13 hours, I'd say thats pretty normal. If you're interested in seeing if you have a bad app running or something download an app like 'Watchdog Lite'. It will alert you when a process is eating up CPU power. Also, there are many battery apps that will allow you to look into whats taking the most power.

AS ALWAYS turn off Bluetooth/GPS/WiFi when not using them. Use auto-brightness or manually keep the brightness lower. Sync different apps at slower intervals if you don't need the data as readily. These all help life.

Not necessarily. Don't think its a good idea to jump to that conclusion before ruling out other things.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnhazelwood:
I've noticed when I switched from 2.2 to 2.3 ROM's and attach to my corporate email my pinlock screen is delayed for some period in time before the pinlock shows. Basically I get the lock screen with slider to open until a timeout occurs and the pinlock is enforced again. I can't find a way to eliminate the delay on standard captivate rom's, but while running CM7 I do have an option to kill the delay and auto-lock. So my question is:

Is there a way to mess with a file to make the lock take place immediately?

or am I stuck running one of the mail.apk's which remove the exchange security features?

In 2.2 the lockscreen would always immediately show, it's only 2.3 which delays the lock screen.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanbrecht:
I went searching for Android devices that support the ant+ specification, or accessories to support them, and came across the Xperia line of devices that use a particular TI wireless chipset with built in ANT+ support.

Has anyone, or can anyone check to see if the current stock Rom has support for these accessories, while I know the device has support, I want to make sure that Sony included it in the current build.

Mods: move to development if you feel it should be there.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
The Xperia Active, which is built with the same chip set as the play, does have ant + support. I guess they didn't program ant + support in the play because of marketing reasons.

The Xperia active is released in some places already, but I'm not certain where. There is a forum about the device in XDA (shared with the new Mini and mini pro), so feel free to go there and ask.

yeah.. i had the same problem.. i was on uk retail rom and was not getting past 7.0.7008.. heres what i did to get my mango update.

1) flash a nodo rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131891 ..

2) u will be on nodo(7389 or 7392) after that

3) next use this guide to update to mango beta 1 (7403 build) http://koolmobile.net/windows-phone-7-mango-7720-rtm-leakedhow-to-install/

4)once 7403 is installed.. zune will automatically give u notification that ur phone will now be updated to final build of 7720(official mang0)

5)after that it again check for updates and then will install samsung updates for correct drivers for ur device..

Zune installed the 7008 February update succesfully, but now reports that my phone is up-to-date. What a bummer. Why does it let you update to 7008 and not beyond if the removed all the other update up to Mango!? It's a real bummer :(

Don't use the term jailbreak. This is not some Apple product.

The term is dev-unlock, although "jailbreak" has certainly been used plenty (and is hardly iOS-specific).

Use the search tool, please. There's been lots of people asking this. The short version is you either need a legit developer account or you need to downgrade.

Quick question for everyone.

When I bought my Xoom, it was NIB, but also came pre-loaded with a few misc songs (what they were slip my mind now).

Was this the case with yours as well?

This was on the US wifi model if it makes a diff.

Oddly enough when restoring the stock images, the same items were not there so not sure if someone was just messing around with it pre-sale or what.

I exchanged it for a different xoom one week later (same staples store, I had a display problem) and there were quite a few songs on this one.
[HTC Sensation] loveubuntu:
Rooting a ROM for a friend. Was wondering what is the best ROM-Kernel combo for best battery consumption? New to this phone and I have never rooted a GSM device (his is on tmobile).

While at it, can I skip the CID step if I'm rooting or do I have to have that step to be able to install any roms? Do the roms specify if it is for tmobile? TIA
[HTC Sensation] danperde:
Give Android Revolution a try. It's awesome. Skip CID, you need the custom ROM to recognize the phone as T-Mobile version, since the custom ROM is based on the European model. Take a look here. Battery wise, I got 24 hours with normal usage and 36 with light usage. Good enough for you? :D
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
+1

It's a stable ROM that performs well. Since it's for a friend I'll assume you want something stable with ZERO bugs so you can flash once and forget it?

If you guys are more "power users" I say test out CM or MiUi. Or if you become "power users" one day.
[HTC Sensation] loveubuntu:
Thank you boys(or girls). That's exactly what I need, flash it and forget it.
[HTC Sensation] loveubuntu:
To double check, no cid hack needed for revolution?
[HTC Sensation] danperde:
It's recommended not to mess with CID. That way, the custom ROM identifies the correct version of the phone and you'll get all T-Mobile's extras: wi-fi calling, visual voice mail, etc.

Now I have real problems with TB. Hope someone here can help.

TB has been acting strange for me ever since I went to the pre-rooted Gingerbread. Now it locks up and FC's 30 seconds after loading, no matter what it's doing.:mad:

I want to redo everything and start over, but the problem is, I have dozens of modules frozen by TB, with no way to defrost them because of the lockup problems. I know from previous experience that doing a factory reset without defrosting everything first brings problems down on my head, so what do I do?

I need some guidance here. Is redoing the SBF the best way to go?

So, here's a small bug I found with my Arrive. Not sure if it affects other Arrives or even 7 Pro's. Here's how you'd replicate it:

1. Connect something to the 3.5mm headphone jack.

2. Play some music.

3. Slide the phone open or closed. Music stops.

Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: This started happening after the official Mango update. Never happened on the RTM.
[HTC 7 Pro] Morpheus Phreak:
Yup, same thing here...and the bug with launching Bing was never fixed either, where it will drop all sound processing and give it a flat sound.

Also a couple of the official HTC apps now claim they aren't for this phone when they worked on it on all prior builds, including NoDo.

Why do we now have less official apps available for this phone with Mango?
[HTC 7 Pro] Xodium:
I'm beginning to feel like we got the short end of the stick with Mango. :(

[HTC 7 Pro] theoriginal15:
Hey, everyone. I own a TMOUS HD7 and experienced similar issues. Somehow, I believe it's related to the screensaver timing out. After I turned off screensaver, my music plays with no problem. When I turn screensaver on, I hear it stutter a little when switching songs before it finally freezes.

Try it out and see what happens. Share the wealth!
[HTC 7 Pro] Techygeek82:
Yes!

I too am having this issue. I have been able to recreate it with 3 different pairs of headphones AND my stereo adapter in the truck.

I took the Arrive in to the Sprint store last night to see if there was something with the jack. This was after I posted in their forums AND contacted HTC. HTC wasn't able to recreate the problem. Neither was the Sprint tech, though he really was trying desperately to. He even brought the phone out to me with the headphones he was using and, sure enough, no problem.

Given that I was pointed to this thread, I will now include it with my open ticket with HTC to see what they can come up with.

I'll let you know what I find out!!!
[HTC 7 Pro] nickallison:
I don't know if its the same issue, however:

Listening on headphones, under lock screen. Things work fine for a random amount of time then, it would stop, always at the end of a track. I cannot comment on the relevance but there was always an email (or more than 1) showing on the lock screen when pressing the power button. On some occasions the phone would freeze up completely, had to press and hold the power, to turn off.
[HTC 7 Pro] Techygeek82:
I have sent HTC all the information I have on my issue and they suggest you all send them info too so they can get more documentation on it. They'll need your phone Serial Number as well as the type of headphone(s) you are using and having the problem with.
[HTC 7 Pro] Xodium:
As with me (I would have replied on the Sprint forums, but meh, it's a bit tedious), this happened with my Sony component stereo, my AKG K271 mkII's, Koss PortaPro, and Sony car stereo.

I don't think ALL Arrives are suffering from this problem, but it seems a significant number are.

I'll probably go post over there though just in case. That way if others read it they get the same info. :-)

[HTC 7 Pro] gstr:
Yeah, I've got Nokia BH-905i with microphone. Using HTC 7 Pro with Mango. Exactly the same issue. When using A2DP - no problems at all.

Not confirmed hints: no freeze when charging, no freeze when playing MP3, freezes when playing WMA (even WMA Lossless) only.
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
HTC Arrive running official Mango. Under lock screen if I slide the phone open it pauses the music.

Also when I go into Bing/Search the music pauses and then gets flat. I am doing this with just a basic pair of headsets. I'll try my wifes HTC Arrive when I get home and also try a pair of headsest with a microphone to see if it still happens.

Hey, im having the same problem.. I will flash a custom rom this weekend so I can't look for it right now:

Did anyone ever looked up in the registry if there is an option to disable the music pausing after sliding the phone?

Furthermore, is there no custom rom that can fixes this problem?

[EDIT] Hai!

I recently flashed the mentioned custom Rom on my device, the newest Tango rls by Answer.. and voila, the music does not stop anymore while sliding the device!

[EDIT2] well I just found out, that it works only with speaker.. with my ear phones, it still stops playing while sliding :(

[EDIT3] Just figured out the Reason!! This happens, because the Original earphones have an button and if you press it, the music will stop. Although the speakers got 4 Contacts instead of 3 like a usual 3,5Jack.. the additional one is for the pause function, i'm sure.

I bet it happens because, the phone expects some sort of signal through the pause contact, and now gets a signal from one of the others.

Essayist solution would be cutting of the Jack from the official earphone and connect it with your own ones.. I'll take a look at it, so that we don't have to cut of the Jack of our good speakers! (those by HTC have a bad quality anyway)
