Has anyone considered that if you get the cyan device then the UI will look weird if it's any theme other than Cyan? :confused:

(Yes, I am still very indecisive as to which one to get :P )
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
regards the cyan some colours might clash ie green but if you go away from the cyan accent colour you could go for a complementary colour ie orange for blue. I would admit getting a coulourd devicxe will liimt your choice.

On another note Buymobilephones still has no date yet! i have now reserved one at my local t-mob store as a backup option.
[Nokia Lumia 800] EroThraX:
I asked them via twitter and supposedly they should be getting stock mid-late this week.

https://twitter.com/#!/buymobiles_help/status/136069988116201472
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
your thanks meter gone up by one from me on this news. I dont know why they couldnt tell me this i was passed to someone who in there words "should know as they directly deal with it" This is good news :) i can wait a day or 2 more for there deals over tmob direct.

i really need to start useing twitter
[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
So I've finally settled on a colour (black) although here's an issue which might effect a few people here:

If we're ordering from a site like carphonewarehouse or buymobilephones that send out unlocked phones with a sim, do we still get the carrier marketplace? AFAIK there are a few orange apps like Orange Wednesdays but will we be able to get this from the marketplace as we will be running an unbranded stock rom.

Also, I phoned up mobiles.co.uk today and can confirm they are getting the Lumia in stock on wednesday, shipping out that day delivery on thursday or friday.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
buymobiles_helpbuymobiles.net

@lumpaywk We are hoping to have stock available soon, however it is likely to be next week.

Also called t-mobile direct and they said they are waiting on stock then have to quality control it first. So much for a great launch when they leave the pre orders out in the rain.

Nokia needs to start to get a grip on this and fast. This is a big **** up on there front its like they actually want to fail!!!
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
binned off buymobilephones and went direct to tmobile, iy is £3 a month more but i get twice the calls etc and i get it 2moro morning and delivered to work :) shame local shop didnt have it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] EroThraX:
Brilliant. -.-

Probably won't be any stock next week either, T-mobile still don't have the Lumia online and I can't be bothered to ring them just to find out the prices.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
It was a pain having to talk to them took ages as well but in general its free on £30 (well £31 for some reason) contracts though i got a small and i mean small discount and its only 18months so thats good. so i am paying £29 a month for 18 months free phone 600mins 500texts and data norm £31 but i got a loyalty discount. My phone will be here tomorrow delivered to my work place. I will update once it has arrived :)

Its not as good as the bmp deal but then who knows how long i would of ended up waiting and i get to keep my number this way :) plus i found tmobile at least are more inclined to give better support if you bought through them.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Peew971:
Could anyone confirm if there's any hardware and/or software branding? Would be great to not have any.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Ashraf Patel:
Upgraded earlier today with orange - will receive the black one tomorrow would've preferred the blue:mad: orange only does black!

One of the first to upgrade - should get the xbox:D

will post review tomorrow night - sad to be leaving the desire though
[Nokia Lumia 800] RyanMacG:
My one has a quick 3 boot splash and a couple of apps that I don't think are stock and one that definitely isn't. However they can all be removed and the boot splash is pretty quick.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
blue is out in 2 weeks. The xbox deal is pretty sweet. Mine will arrive between 7 and 11 in the morning. At last i can ditch the stupid iPhone arg i hate that thing and get back to where i belong, on a wp7 device.
[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
Does anyone else get a rattle from the phone when they shake it? I noticed this when I tried the app recommendation app and shaked it to get a new suggestion
[Nokia Lumia 800] Peew971:
Could you check for tmobile splash logo or any other sort of branding please?

By the way, the phone is now online on the T-Mobile website for anyone interested.

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-monthly/nokia-lumia-800/
[Nokia Lumia 800] EroThraX:
What happened to this:

The majority of the Nokia Lumia 800 price plans do not include the free internet booster.
[Nokia Lumia 800] RyanMacG:
Also seems that the default home page for IE is the 3 account page. Not unbearable, especially when I usually search before I go on the web and skip that bit

Edit: I might have just been a bit thick.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
I have no branding at all on the phone and only security tabs on the box. The IE home page is set to T-Mobile faves but thats it as far as i see. Boot just Nokia and Windows phone splash screens. It boots really fast.
[Nokia Lumia 800] RyanMacG:
Yeah I should point out the 3 splash isn't visible for long and the phone boots pretty quickly
[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
I took mine back today (see separate thread about rattling noise) and was told to come back tomorrow because they had no stock left and were getting another delivery tomorrow.

This wasn't exactly a big store, it was a three store in a superdrug (in the bullring, Birmingham). CarphoneWarehouse were also sold out in Birmingham last night. Says a lot about the sales of the phone.

Hopefully this will mean Windows Phone will become more mainstream and we'll get more big apps like bbc iplayer etc.

Also, on a separate note, has anyone seen covers for sale that are the same style as the ones included in the box?
[Nokia Lumia 800] mfsmith20:
There were loads on display at Nokia World - all sorts of colours!

I should have pocketed a few whilst I had the chance.

Sure they'll be available somewhere though - I'll ask around.

[HTC Desire S] abhi63:
Hi,

Just recently changed my phone from Desire to Desire S. I rooted and S-Off'ed using Revolutionary. Everything was fine for the last day. Phone is still new so wanted to run the battery down till flat then recharge fully to calibrate it.

Turned my phone on this morning and it just stays at the white HTC logo screen. Tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it start loading up. It then reads system 0 cache 0 and the recovery crashes.

Tried to use factory reset option from bootloader and it freezes. Had to pull battery.

Tried to wipe everything using Fastboot commander. Fails erasing cache, sytem, etc.

What do I do now?

It was working fine yesterday even rebooted it a couple of times and it was fine. But can't get it to do anything this morning.

Please help.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] tommyhot:
What I would do is to go to HBOOT and flash new Clockworkmod (or any other recovery tool) from the Android Flasher.

Android Flasher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

CWM: http://downloads.saga-lbc-mod.de/recovery-images/PG88IMG-RECOVERYIMG-3.2.0.0.zip

Just connect the phone to PC via USB and start Android Flasher (while in HBOOT). Click recovery and choose unzipped recovery.img (from the PG88IMG file). If your new recovery is working just mount USB storage (in recovery), put some ROM there and install zip from sdcard.

I guess you can try to fix this differently, but this is the fastest method if you don't know what exactly is wrong.
[HTC Desire S] abhi63:
Thanks for the quick reply.

It didn't work. Android Flasher crashes. Just says not responding.

Any other ideas?
[HTC Desire S] abhi63:
I also get these errors in recovery:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Is my eMMC dead? Don't understand what its all about.

Is it fixable?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Seriously, a quick look in the general's section will land you to the correct guide about it:

[GUIDE] Possible FIX for the infamous eMMC problem..

Note: I INTENTIONALLY did not link the guide so YOU will be searching for it.

Check the guide on my sig first.
[HTC Desire S] abhi63:
I did follow all the instructions in the guide. Can't even get adb to recognise my device.

Fastboot freezes whenever I use any commands.

Can't flash anything.
[HTC Desire S] Mattypomp72:
I have been through a similar prblem recently. Ensure you're in recovery to utilise the adb shell (this flummoxed me for hrs lol):mad:

If it's emmc related try the following to verify whether the chip is defective.

Ensure you are in recovery when utilising the adb shell (this took me hrs to work out as my device wasn't listed!) I was in fastboot ot Hboot mode.

To be sure that you really are effected by the emmc issue (and not other partition corruption issues that show similar symptoms) you have to look at the kernel messages when booted to clockworkmod recovery. Do to this boot the phone into recovery and then (in and adb shell) issue the following command:

Code:

cat /proc/kmsg | grep mmc0

or

Code:

dmesg | grep mmc0

If you see output like (not necessarily in this order) :

Code:

mmc0: failed to get card ready

mmc0: reinit card

mmc0: Starting deferred resume

mmc0: Deferred resume failed

then you are effected by this issue.

Basically the emmc chip does not initialize any more after the first attempt to access it in write mode.

Based on our current knowledge this is a hardware issue and can not be cured.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

You need adb setup for this, use one of the stickys to get started with adb

1, start up adb and type these in.

Code:

adb reboot recovery

2, after the device starts up in recovery, enter this

Code:

adb shell

3, and then this, your serial number should come up after mmc0:0001

Code:

cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'

It looks like M4G2DE 2.10 GiB is the bad one, judging from what the #G2root devs say, but lets see what our side is.

Thanks

And unfortunaly I got the bad one too, rooted with gfree, this is what I got

[HTC Desire S] abhi63:
Thanks for the reply.

I just gave up in the end and got a replacement from Orange.

Hi, im looking to buy a samsung mhl adapter however my tv only has rca connect, if i buy a hdmi to rca cable will the video still display on my tv.. i.e hdmi goes into mhl adapter and rca goes into tv... Thankyou
[Galaxy S II Accessories] -Neos-:
No, it wont work..if its just a simple adapter. Via HDMI or DVI... you get a digital signal. RCA or VGA...ect. you get a analog signal. It's not compatible to each other, except you connect a hdmi/rca converter between the two cables. Simple adapter from china just won't work..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
You need a converter -- HDMI is a digital signal, whereas composite video (the single yellow RCA cable) or component video (red/green/blue RCA cables) are analog.

Something like this one from Monoprice will do the trick. eBay and Amazon also carry devices like this, in the same price range.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nut33:
Thanks alot guys i will be buying a converter...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] knightnz:
Hopefully you're aware that the video quality from composite will be quite poor.

Presumably if your TV doesn't have HDMI or VGA connectors then it's probably still a CRT screen?
[HD2 General] troosie:
Hi Everyone!

I have a problem. The touchscreen of my HTC HD2 doens't work anymore. So basically I can't use my phone anymore. I've got a recent backup on my sd card of my contacts made with the Titanium Backup app.

My question is if I still will be able to redeem my contacts? Maybe on the computer? Any ideas?

Did you use your google/gmail account in accounts/sync to access the Market? That should have also synced to your google contacts online.

Ive seen 32gb MicroSD..but with class 4. are these ok for D3 or do we need class 10?
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
I've got a class 4 32GB card in mine and it works just fine. As far as I know it even records 1080p video at that speed. 32GB is the max that it will support as it only supports SDHC and anything over 32GB is SDXC.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
I bought a Lexar brand Class 10 (32 gig) MicroSD from Amazon, and things don't load as fast as I thought they would. I had previously used this card in my HTC Desire Z and noticed that my Gallery would load very slowly. I thought maybe it was the Gallery or the ROM I was using or whatever... but then when I moved to my Motorola XT860 (Canadian Droid 3), I noticed the same thing. The gallery loads images / thumbnails very slowly, and sometimes when I take pictures with the camera, the image doesn't fully write to the card (the thumbnail for the picture will show half the picture, and the other half of the picture will be corrupted garbage). Even when I switched my phone over to the Chinese ROM it behaves exactly the same.

I'm thinking the Lexar MicroSD is at fault here... but I would like to continue testing by getting a new one, hopefully made by a better manufacturer/brand.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid 3] eksempel_123:
I have the Patriot 32Gb class 10. Gallery works fine with me, even if I have a lot of pictures on it. The only problem I have is with Spotify. When it downloads songs for offline usage, it would whine about the sdcard being corrupt/full even tho it works fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] gbarayah:
Are you using the stock gallery app? If so, try using "Quickpic" its free in the market and loads everything MUCH faster than the stock gallery.

If you are worried it may be the card, use a card reader to test the speeds on your computer. There are a few free applications out there that will do this.

I am using a Kingston 16gb Class 4 card in my XT860, same as the one I used in my Desire Z and haven't had any issues. Though I haven't tried to record any 1080P video yet... 720p doesn't have any lag but the write speed may be a bottleneck for the 1080 video.

I ran a multitude of tests on my Kingston class 4 and it regularly had a write speed of 6mb/s+, which is the minimum speed of a class 6 card. Some people aren't fans of Kingston but I've used a few of their micro SD cards and they have always had good results for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Thats a good idea. Ill test the read/write speed on my pc. Ive yet to find an sd card tester app in the market that will work with this rom (stock chinese ME863 rom on gingerbread 2.3.5, rooted)

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
i will go for a 16Gb class 10 Kingston card, instead of a 32gb class 4 A-data.

speed 10 is more important than 16gb at class4.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Even though they are really expensive at the moment, 64GB micro SDXC cards have been confirmed to work in most Android devices. These cards come formatted by default with the exFAT file system which is unrecognized by Android but Android will format it to FAT32 and all 64GB are accessible. FAT32 has a limit of 2TB, but modern versions of Windows won't format FAT32 over 32GBs. They will still read/write >32GB FAT32 drives just fine.

By the time these cards come affordable Android will probably have exFAT support by default.
[Motorola Droid 3] savedR:
Speed issues = return?

This may not really be related, but say I buy a Class 10 card of any size and am getting terrible transfer speeds. That's grounds to return it, right?
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
I tested my Lexar Class 10 32 gig and some no-name 2 gig on my PC. These are the results. I would appreciate it if any of you could try the same on your card(s) and see how they compare to mine?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
That is on your computer. I think the real question here is whether the Droid 3 can read/write at a fast enough speed to take advantage of faster cards. Speed tests on a PC are going to depend on the card reader being used.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Was trying to rule out possible defect with my 32gig. Its pretty bad on my phone. Most photos i take dont write, sometimes half-write. Overall its sluggish. I blame the ME863 rom but im kinda stuck with it for now. For now i just have it set to store photos/videos on the internal flash.
[Motorola Droid 3] eksempel_123:
32GB Patriot Class 10
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Very interesting.... thanks Eksempel!
[Motorola Droid 3] courtn00b:
Has anyone tried changing their cache size to see if it improves xfer speeds?? There was a tutorial on the homepage.

Also I'm considering on class4 vs class10 32gb card, is it woth getting the faster card? I want to stream 1080p through the hdmi if people could test this then I'd appreciate the results :)
[Motorola Droid 3] eksempel_123:
Changing the cache size probably helps in Android, but not when the sdcard is mounted to the PC. Not sure the phone even has 1080p output via the HDMI (shoot me if I'm wrong), but I can get it to play 720p .mkv files without video stuttering.

I have had a 32gb pny class 10 since july. The speed is a little lower then expected, but the real problem is data corruption. I lose several files each day(found in the LOST.DIR) and I'm thinking its due to being class 10. From what I've read, the class 10s have problem with the random sequential read/writes (er something like that, don't quote me). Anybody else losing files on a class 10 card or is it just me?
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
have you tried puting games or applications on card? when i do that, i lose that game..until a restart the phone. and then i lose another game. and so on...
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I experience the same problem, but it's really strange because this never happened on my Blackberry Torch before. I didn't have any instances of data corruption. I also think it's got something to do with reading the files, since I'm really not doing any writes to the disk.
