[General Questions and Answers] Starchild70:
I am trying to figure out if I Unlock the Galaxy S 4G will I simply be able to go on Boost.com to input the ESN to the upgrade information on that page and will it allow me to use it for Boost? My Boost account is current, but I wanna use the Galaxy S 4G instead of the Prevail that I have. Any suggestions???
[General Questions and Answers] Litesorrows:
Isn't the GS4G a GSM Phone? The Prevail is a CDMA running on Sprints Network. Mainly all Boost smart phones are CDMA, or IDEN. So no, I'm sorry. If you use a regional carrier for T-Mo *as the GS4G is a T-Mo Band phone*. Walmart's Family Mobile is epic. It's also a HSUPA+ and 4G Network.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Microsoft, a titan of the software industry, entirely unmatched. Nokia, once THE hardware giant in the mobile industry, fallen from graces due to poor software. Sounds like a romance etched in the stars for bards to write soliloquys about until time dth end, right? Well, according to the press, this is just a terrible idea.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced an exclusive partnership with Nokia granting them more power over an already beautiful OS. Numerous jobs were lost, the bad press was everywhere, but Elop and Ballmer were smiling for the camera. Things died down, a few even began to see the bright side of what such a merger might offer, but with the release of the technical specifications of nokia's new windows phone devices, windows phone users everywhere froze. They seemed to offer nothing that the other OEMs couldn't. Some were expecting Nokia to blow us away with the use of a dual-core processor on a windows phone flagship device, my only thought, why?

Nokia is a hardware company not known for excessive hardware, but rather how they use it. While android was running sluggish on a 1 GHz snapdragon, symbian was smooth on a much lesser chipset. Nokia never was the greatest manufacturer for the power in the phone, just great execution be it their battery life which is absolutely phenomenal opposed to that of most smartphones, or their build quality, which provides a durable, polished, and attractive device. Don't even get me started on the camera's they've so often been praised for since the early days of smartphones. Nokia is a hardware company to be revered, even if not for their power.

Now, with WP7's strict hardware limitations allowing very specific chipsets in their devices, the chipset is not the issue by any means. What Microsoft needs now is a beautiful device with a great camera to take advantage of the fastest camera app out there, a great battery life to provide hours of smooth, lag-free browsing, and a polished build quality to match the polished OS.

Do I think WP7/Nokia could be a game changer? I'd like to think so, but only time will tell. For now, I'll just continue salivating over the new Nokia 800.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ch1lko:
They will bring a lot - great build quality, great reception, great camera and free worldwide navigation with Nokia Maps. Not sure about the battery life but maybe there is going to be something in that part too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
stigma:

the stigma amoung developers will remain, i would imagine. bitten by a company doesn't make you want to turn around and work for/with them again when they smile and announce a new product with a new partner. but that's only a few thousand people. they certainly won't be doing any dev'ing out of shear joy or passion. maybe for a job, but i doubt the flashy new hardware will dull their memory of being wronged by nokia, and now microsoft.

hardware:

despite the marketing and constant suggestion that nokia will be revolutionary hardware, or a great relationship with microsoft, or something 'new' and 'invigorating' - to the common consumer, it's a yawner:

another phone.

it's green.

big camera.

wp7.

more yawns, wp7 has been available for a while. 5-6Mp cameras have been available. dual cores, NFC, big and bright touch screens, it's all out there, right now.

so, what is the draw for just another manufacturer releasing another phone here ?

enlighten me
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
"Nokia/WP7- Is anything new being brought to the table?"

Yes, of course, huge huge impressive 16gb storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
HTC and Samsung and LG have learned immensely during the last two years about both software and hardware in the new smart phone era. It would be difficult to outdo their current offerings.

But there is really a chance, due to their partnership, that they may come up with something new and interesting. Let's just wait a few days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I bet a lot of people will be disappointed.... Probably mainly low end devices

I also predict many issues/bugs/problems. Nokia haven't the experience that HTC have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
According to engadget "possibly the most beautiful phone ever made". But I guess without tri-cores they really arent any different from the giants that are HTC and Samsung. /S
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
Those blue and pink phones look great with similar-colored live tiles!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
um wat? lol. Nokia has more experience than just about any other phone manufacturer out there.

As far as what Nokia brings:

1. Excellent build quality & durability

2. Still best in class camera optics (at least on the high end phones).

3. Very good quality radios / cell reception

4. Typically very good battery life

5. Very stylistic designs well beyond what most manufacturers put out

6. Nokia services such as Ovi Maps (this will be huge for Bing Maps outside of US/UK)

7. Very large reach into lots of countries. More reach = more exposure = more people = good for platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It's totally true besides one thing:

Since introduction of touchscreens their own Symbian OS bacame disaster,

which just couldn't catch the leaders, even if it was offerring more features than iOS and Android some time ago.

They couldn't manage this and develop this OS properly, even having such great experience and potential and money.

So take nothing for granted. I am not so sure WP7/Nokia will give such amazing results everybody hopes for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dotcompt:
Anyone want to bet that the Microsoft Hero Phone will come from Nokia?
[Windows Phone 7 General] otherworld:
I agree the specs I've seen so far are not wildly inspiring, but maybe that's not the point. Whilst the sort of people who read XDA will probably be more excited by phones such as the samsung focus s etc., perhaps typical consumers look more at brand / aesthetics / contract price than processor specs, and Nokia still have a name somewhat synonymous with mobile phones for a lot of people. Even though I probably won't one myself, I see the Nokia influence doing wonders for windows phone as a platform as it will get it into the hands of many people who might not have considered it otherwise.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
My last Nokia phone was the n80 and it was a great piece of hardware. 3.2mp camera was unheard of back then.

The software is the only thing holding Nokia back. With WP they have the potential to release premium phones as well as low end smartphones . Nobody has the worldwide reach lke Nokia. They are the biggest phone company in the world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Illicit Hero:
This is something of a do or die situation, Nokia has to awe us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
The N9 is one great looking device. Meego also looked great.

They need to quit ditching OS's.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
devving for meego direct was hell so all we'd really get was ports and that's only from those who wanted to take the time to port. No matter how it went the best meego could've been is a second-rate android and they didn't want that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
We all know Nokia is going to make incredible hardware. What I'm mostly excited about are the OS changes Nokia has made.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
They ditched 1 OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
??? Are you kidding.

They dropped Symbian as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I admit i only read a few posts on this thread so if this point is made already im sorry.

The way i see it is that spec sheets are worthless as each manufacturer can buy up the same bits from the same places and bung them in a shell. WP7 is always a constantly fast smooth OS the expiriance unlike droid is the same from one device to another. So what does Nokia bring???? They bring the style! I dont see the spec sheets blowing us away at all or some super new tech but i ask you this when was the last time you looked at a phone without all the specs and that and thought wow that is one sexy beast? The only time i can remember really thinking that was over 11 years ago when Nokia baught the 8850 to the table. I dont care what the specs are i need the 800 (searay) in my life.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morphis568:
So I've been reading around about the status of the Cyanogen mod port for the GSII. I'm switching to sprint this week and will love to have CM7.

Last I read was that Kush had the phone and is making the recovery work for the phone and then he was going to hand it off to other devs.

Now come the idea. Wouldn't it be easier if the devs had 2 phones so different teams or devs and work on it simultaneously so for example teamhacksung can port CM7 over while kush or someone else is doing there thing.

That's why I propose a pot to get the devs another phone so they know we aren't a community of deadbeats.

I'd be happy to donate $20 - possibly more if funds allow (I'm in college)

Anyone else?

+1 from me!

i HIGHLY recommend this method. Alejandrissimo is a great guy and really good at what he does. He unlocked my Fido Xperia Pro in about 5 minutes.

You don't have to do much...just when he tells you to hold a paper clip from a testpoint to the SD card holder to ground the testpoint, and plugin/unplug the USB cable as needed. Beyond that Alejandrissimo will do all the software side for you.

And the reason it costs money is it uses the program SETool, which costs money on a pay-per-use basis. So Alejandrissimo is just coverying his own costs.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] antioch216:
so my infuse sim card reader is messed up, it won't read my card. Is there any way through rooting or a custom ROM to unlock it to still be able to use it as a regular phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] antioch216:
let me also add that inserting another carrier SIM won't work. One of the contact pins on the reader is missing so it just can't recognize a card at all. Is there anyway to unlock it without the use of a unlock code?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
You could use Wifi to do internet calling, I've never done it before, and therefore have no clue how to do it. (that is if the infuse allows you to use wifi when the sim is out) You need the Sim card to make calls otherwise though, if its a hardware issue your in trouble. You could try to mess the failing pin to get it to make contact...

[Q] OpenVPN problem with Pershoot's Kernel and "In Paris" v4 by Task650&Phantom

So I've been having trouble getting openvpn up and running on my tab (p7510 version)

I've installed both the openvpn binary installer and the settings apps fine.

I know my certificates/key/conf are correct as I've tested them elsewhere.

When I try to connect I get the following error:

"FATAL:Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"

I was advised to reflash the latest kernel from Oct 18th and adb push tun.ko from pershoot's lib-2636.4.tar.gz file to /system/lib. That didn't work.

I managed to temporarily avoid it by using adb shell "insmod tun.ko". However every time I reboot the device it comes back because the module isn't loaded again.

Now, I get this error:

"FATAL:Linux ifconfig failed: external program for failed"

Which I cannot figure out how to solve.

Has anyone had these problems before while trying to set this up?

I am using "In Paris" v4 from Task650 & Phantom, and Pershoot's kernel from Oct 18th.

Any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morkli:
I'm using VPNC Widget rather than OpenVPN, but the tun.ko needs to be put in "/data/local/modules" then "insmod /data/local/modules/tun.ko" and it survives a reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam1878:
Thanks for the reply, but it didn't seem to work for me. I pushed the same tun.ko to that folder and issued insmod but it didn't stay after reboot.

Could someone please make a Notre Dame Fighting Irish Theme for the Thrill?
[Fascinate General] japin:
I was having GPS issues on EVERY rom I tried prior to remembering something I learned with my Epic 4g (Galaxy S).

I first Odin'd back to stock and when I did I Re-Partitioned and clicked Phone EFS Clear (this seemed to fix the GPS issue we were having on Epic) in Odin.

After this I flashed the EC09 modem with Heimdall (make sure you only use the modem.bin file when putting it in modem box).

Then I flashed CWM4 and then reflashed MIUI. I have since upgraded and downgraded MIUI multiple times and my gps always locks in less than 10seconds (make sure to use GPS Status to download GPS data on your first use).

The problem seems to lie with us flash addicts that like to try every single combo of every single rom and modem. The flashing and reflashing of modems seems to do something that screws with the GPS, I have since learned to find a modem that I like and stick with it, you can flash and reflash roms all day (in CWM) and it does not seem to effect the GPS (for me at least). I hope this helped people out.

There is a lot of things that can brick your phone. Not only the kernel.

I would recommended the Rom posted above (and in my sig). I have like 20 hours battery time, with moderate use. If you flash a new kernel, you can underclock, and maybe get more battery time. You really dont need ~1200 MHz on some roms, if you don't play a lot of games and so.
