That made absolutely no sense.. The core OS is NOT compatible with the Desktop by any means. Here's why.. Windows Phone runs on ARM processors and Windows Desktops run on x86/x64... There hasn't been any news about a virus running on Windows Phones.. The reason being is that the applications created use Silverlight which has LIMITED functionality.. limited enough that it can't modify the Windows directory. Also in terms of an image obtaining a virus, the only way that could happen is if the computer was already infected. Any malicious code could hide on a Windows desktop and listen for any Mass Storage device connection and proceed to infect. Android... I've seen multiple news stories about rampant viruses on that OS due to malicious apps being downloaded and even accepted into the Market. Unfortunately an app can do a LOT of damage to an Android phone :). As for collecting data, there have been multiple news articles about SMS, etc being captured on Android phones... No reports on Windows Phones. Nice try :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Interlingua_TV:
What you are saying is that Windows Phone with Silverlight is LIMITED.

And Windows Phone does not support SD cards (mass storage). And the applications need to be installed from Windows Market.

Yes, I agree WP being limited and not accessing SD cards.

Still, emails, attachments, jpg files can come into the device through email and other means.

Android also uses a virtual java machine similar to Silverlight .NET reduced virtual machine. Windows Phone and Android can both get viruses. Just Windows Phone is more vulnerable, and Windows 8 desktop runs also on ARM. Windows desktop is not anymore x86 only (I don't know what you mean by x64).

It must be funny with these excuses. Windows Phone gets malware: warms and viruses, this is why AVG antivirus was accepted in the first place on Windows Market by Microsoft. The fact that it collected the email address, name, IMEI and the location made Microsoft to stop AVG. AVG said they had that data mining (data collection) for a new version of the anti virus that will support retrieval if a lost device.

[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
I have yet to see 3rd party virus or loophole that would be accessible through MS's code only without the need of any OEM hole.

WP7 is the safest mobile OS. Yes, I said it and I ain't taking it back.

You have clearly no idea what you are talking about ;). Sure, W8 is on ARM, but that doesn't mean anything. W8 is (will be) running NT6.2 kernel, WP7 is CE6/7/whatever. They are far from close. Hopefuly Apollo builds will be built on NT6.2 kernel or its fork too. But I am pretty sure that there will not be any holes. MS can not afford having any problems. At least not now or in near future.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
This interlingua guy has to be a secondary account trolling. AVG collected registry data so it could remove a certain variety of alterations supposedly. Android gets malware, wp7 does not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] snickler:
Yeah you're definitely a troll lol. What I meant to say out of rage for ignorance was stating that Windows Desktop and the Windows Phone has completely different kernels :). Doesn't matter if you have an SD card or what.. Android gives you deeper access to screw things up... Although it does use a JVM to RUN the apps, the OS itself gives access to ruin system files. TL;DR WP7 is safe. Mod, thread needs closed now lol.

Agreed, even if a virus managed to get on your phone some how, it probably wouldn't know what to do, the dam system is so tight that you have a hard time adding a simple ringtone or a wallpaper on the start screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
And to add to this... there is no root access in windows phone. Every app is sandboxed. For example, PDFs do not show up in the office hub. They are stuck in Adobe's sandbox on the phone. So a virus could only, really effect itself when it was being ran.

That is true wp7 is more secure but it does have flaws such as the sms bug that in theory could be exploited. Truth is that, as with android, the more popular it gets the more people will try to hack it but right now there are no known viruses or malware.

I love my android but wp7 is more secure.

[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Agree with thread closing as I still don't understand how I got that. From the article the 2nd poster provided, it seems that this virus can only be obtained via browsing websites and caching images to a temp folder, although mine was generated by the camera app straight from the camera roll folder. My computer was clean and it still is, as I do run weekly scans and updates. So if there's no clear answer to this, then maybe it was a false alarm, or a bug from the recent camera app back in nodo (whatever that was, I think it was something to do with locations and stuff), though I highly doubt either of these since MSE reported a clear name of the exploit, and article is available on Microsoft website with details.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
this thread is kinda pointless it seems. there have been no viruses on windows phone yet and one guy is trolling pointlessly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xHausx:
Looks to be a false alarm. All operating systems have vulnerabilities but right now WP7 is young enough that you all don't have very much to worry about yet.

I have an ext2 partition on my sd card.

I just installed MINICM7 2.1.3.

After the installation, all the apps which i downloaded from market, were moved automatically to ext2 partition of my sd card.

The problem is that, i don't want to install my home launchers, market, and some other stuff, on ext2.

I don't know how to change the default install location, or moving my home launcher back to internal memory.

So, if someone has any knowledge on this, please help me.

I just want to know, how to move my apps back to internal memory from ext2 partition??

Sorry, for my bad English.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rodrigocp:
i dont know if this will help but when you go in

settings -> applications -> manage applications

you can click on the app and there will be a button "move to SD card" or "move to phone"

dont know if this is the case with you

and in

you can select the install location for new apps

hope i could help if not sorry and someone else will help you

While at work today I had my phone on the charger as the battery was pretty much dead this morning.. towards the end of my shift I was doing some browsing using Opera and over 4G when I noticed the phone started getting hot. About a minute later I Got a pop up message saying the temp sensor has reached max temp and said I should pull the battery.. So I did... I waited for the Revo and battery to cool down and I put the battery back in and booted up... As soon as I could I launched my battery widget and the battery charge state graph showed that the battery had TANKED 47% instantly while being plugged in! The phone started getting hot again so I pulled the battery and decided to check into it again when I got home.

Now im home, and I had put the battery back in the phone and without even booting the Revo, the whole phone gets hot! Knowing something must be going on here I booted the phone anyways and checked my battery widget again and this time its reporting 3%!!:eek:

Anyone have a clue whats going on here? Phone or Battery?
[LG Revolution] Android Power:
Same thing happened to my sisters Droid 2 ... her fix ... iPhone 4s
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Known issue friend. Make sure you are running stock OS, no CWM, and take it to Verizon. They will reset it to factory default, because that fixes everything in their book, and it will for a short time till it happens again.

Back up your data because they are gonna wipe that bad boy clean. They told me ALL DATA WILL BE LOST, that's when I grabbed my phone and ran. I reset it to factory on my on and had no more issues except now it just shuts off on its own occasionally. It happens with all roms so it's a phone issue.

I am with Android Power... Except, get a nexus prime not shatter glass iPhone 4s.
[LG Revolution] Jasbo:
ok cool.... Thanks Hax. Where can I read up on the known issue? Nevermind I found everything i needed... on a side note I took the phone into verizon on my lunch break and they confirmed the battery was toast.... so they gave me a brand new one. By the time I got back to work the new battery was toast as well! So I guess something got cooked in the phone. i'll be going back to the store after work to exchange the phone. Im not going to be able to remove CWM or go back to stock since it wont boot.... but they shouldnt care either since they wont be able to boot it as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanith:
I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 (International Edition), so of course reading homework came first. After reading some guides/FAQs about rooting, I had one question: How do I choose the right guide?

I found this first:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297557

Leading to this:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide

But this "Full update guide" starts by installing the ClockWorkMod. From what I understood, you need to be rooted for that, so does this guide assume you are rooted before installing the ClockWorkMod? Or is rooting part of what you get for installing the ClockWorkMod?

IF YES, what does this part want me to do? :

6. On the computer, open terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

And another few rooting guides I found:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693

This one roots and installs CWM using SuperOneClick and Odin. Neither Odin OR SuperOneClick are mentioned in the "Full update guide"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

This one uses Odin but not SuperOneClick. It also comes with CWM 4, whereas there is a CWM 5 already. Is this guide too old?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126522

And then there is this one (which seems like what I need seeing how I'm a noob at this) And it talks about a Kernel I need (I have XWKI4)

So from these many guides, how do I know which one is the one I need? The full update guide seems to have a very different approach from the rest. And maybe the others just talk about the same thing using different names... (What is CFroot?)

I'm quite confused by this. I know I can find a lot by just googling and looking on XDA, but this time I found too much. So, which guide would be the best for me to use?

I have Android Version 2.3.4

Baseband Version I9100XXKI1

"Kernel Version" says:

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468

root@DELL143 #2

^ Seemed interesting as it had "root" in the name.

Please give me that push in the right direction.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
This is by far the easiest and best way to go in my opinion.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Basically you flash the correct kernel via Odin. Instantly you have root + cwm + busybox installed.

Read the first few posts to get a grip on it then follow the instructions.

Actual process takes a few seconds.

+1 rooted two phones that way
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreekDirt:
That's the one I used too. I followed the Odin Instructions (Long) and it took 30 seconds. You mentioned Heimdall...you have a Mac?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey2o11:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanith:
Thanks everyone, I used the guide and it worked. I also installed CyanogenMod 7, but there's a problem.

I downloaded gapps and installed them through CWM, and then I tried downloading a video player from the market but I get an error saying 'There is insufficient space on the device'.

My internal storage (11.5gb) still has 2 gb left. And the internal storage for apps (1.97gb) still has 1.93gb left... what's wrong?

I read it could have something to do with not whiping, but I did do that before flashing CM7!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
try to go in settings, applications, manage applications, market. Clear data.

Try dw again.

Also reboot your device once if you didnt after cm7 flashing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanith:
Thanks, fixed it now. Restarted and whiped once more.

But for some reason my home button doesnt work :/ I chose "default desktop" as the binding to the home button... but it doesn't do anything

Also, the lockscreen doesn't work. When I press the power button once, screen turns off. When I press it (or home button) again, it goes back to whatever page was open before locking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
From cwm recovery try:

factory reset + wipe cache+ advanced -> wipe dalvik+ mounts&storage -> format system

reflash

also be sure to use cm7 for ur device (there is a International and at&t versions, dont use wrong one)

If you are already rooted it would be much easier for you to get gingerbread, you need a gingerbread rom with gingerbread bootloaders, the first link in my signature will take you to sammobile's firmware page.

I remember the JVP rom to have gingerbread bootloaders, you have to flash the files using odin, re-partition checked and pit file 512.

You should really check before if you are locked to a network.

Does anybody know of a way to change the bluetooth voice dialling app?

I would rather have "Voice Actions" launch than the default Vlingo voice app when I use my bluetooth kit, but I can't find a way to change the app that opens.

Does anyone know of a way? I would rather not root but will consider it if that's the only way.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> look for Vlingo, select it and "Clear Defaults".

Next time you start the dialer it'll hopefully ask what you want as default, set it to voice search and tick the box.

You can also go to settings -> voice input+output and select the app you want to process voice input. Vlingo's processor seems to work much better than Google's, YMMV.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matttye:
Tried that already; vlingo isn't listed but I looked at the voice commands app and there's no.option to clear defaults. Also I can change the speech engine in voice input+output but not the app itself. :(

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matttye:
Anyone?

If there's any way to do this someone on XDA must know, this place is like the pool of all knowledge when it comes to hacking devices to do what we want them to do :p

---

I just realised that the earlier poster (knightnz) was probably using a custom ROM - so, presumably, if I root and install a custom ROM I will be able to change the bluetooth app, I just can't do it on Samsung's ROM? I repeat that there is no option to "clear defaults" in the default voice commands app on Samsung's ROM.

If so, I might root.

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

Is there any way to get the saved data back from games after installing a custom ROM on games like dead space I was more then half way thru it and now I have to start from the beginning
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
If you created a backup via twrp or titanium it's quite easy to get back your saves. They're usually stored along with other data in /data/data/name.of.app

If you restore that, they will more than likely come back. If you're restoring from TWRP, then it's nothing more than a tar file which you can open in WinRAR, 7-zip, or any other qualified archiver. I'm not sure if the newest TWRP (1.1?) stores backups in this way since it does them a bit different and aren't compatible with previous versions, but it is worth a try!
