[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethankz750:
I AM A NOOB at this. I do not pretend to know anything about phones and their OS's. Or how they work together. I did some preliminary searching before opening a new thread, and found nothing relating to the subject in question. Admittedly, I also suck at using search engines.

So, being that the HTC HD7S and HTC Inspire 4G are similar internally, would WD7 Mango work on the Inspire? Both phones are; ATT, HTC produced, have 1ghz processors (Inspire: 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8255 Processor, HD7S:Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor ). Each has similar amount of RAM.

My reason for wanting to try this: I have a spare Inspire. I'm tired of iOS and Android for the time being. I have used Cyanogen. I would like to try out WP7. I am interested in making development/coding a hobby. (Take your pick)

Thanks in advanced. If I have done anything that annoys the forum, please forgive me, I am new and in time I'll learn what is and isn't acceptable.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron McCarthy:
simple answer...

Nope.

Your best bet sell your spare Inspire and buy WP7 :)

Hope this helps. not trying to be a smart ass just trying to give you a straight up answer
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
First off, welcome to the forum.

In general, WP7 is very much tied to specific phone models. There's just one exception where hackers have managed to get it running on non-WP7 hardware -- the HD2. And that was possible because of a uniquely favorable set of conditions. The HD2 is almost literally identical internally to the HD7 that followed it, and the HD2 was a Windows Mobile device and thus had certain software and firmware similarities to the HD7 making tooling etc. somewhat easier for the hackers.

Bottom line is that I don't think you will ever see what you are asking for.

If you want to experiment with WP7 cheaply maybe you can find a cheap non-contract device somewhere? Or a used one? If you like it you can jump in the water more deeply.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethankz750:
Thanks all, for the replies. Looks like I might go buy an HD7.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctibor:
I have a Chinese 7 inch Tablet (Kinpad I200), Cortex A8 processor, 800 Mhz speed, built-in 2G and 3G modul. The op. system is Android 2.3.3.

The only big problem I have with that tablet is related to its mobile data service. If I lost the 3G signal because of poor coverage, or switch on the WiFi connenction I never regain the 3G (nor Edge or GPRS) connention until restarting the whole system.

I know that some Gingerbread-powered devices used to have this (or similar) problem and the manufacturers issued firmware upgrades to resolve it. Although my tablet is Chinese, its manufacturer also has issued a couple of OTA updates so far and I installed all, but the data problem remained.

So my questions are:

1. Is there an app that could bypass the Gingerbread built-in mobile data handling and manage the connenction itself?

2. If there is not any 3rd party application, that would bring back the data connection, maybe there is a way to simply restart only the mobil data service, without resetting the whole device.

Thanks in advance!

I finally made one.

wanted to do this for a long time.

One of the harder mods i made.

-extremly small solder points.

-should still be water resistant afterwards

-wont charge without data pins connected - but usb should still be usable.

here it is:

I spend more then 10 hours in total to do this. Was it worth it?

=D hell yeah!
[Defy Accessories] veimus:
strong electromagnetic field does not damage data on a memory card?
[Defy Accessories] rucheat:
its not long term

yes you can charge like this but with this kind of chargers your phone's life + memory life will reduce because of strong magnetic / electromagnetic field so try use it in emergency only
[Defy Accessories] puked:
i call bull****! sorry to sound like a prick, but i strongly dislike people talking out of there ass about things they don`t know **** about.

This wont damage anything. Infact, this "strong magnetic / electromagnetic field" won`t even reach the phone.

Maybe you read some more about that topic:

[Defy Accessories] jurgenw:
Hi puked,

I would be very interested in knowing more about this mod you created. Good work by the way.

I was planning on doing something similar, I wanted to modify the car dock to charge the phone automatically when docked. I was thinking of adding 2 contact points on the back cover which would mate up with springs or some such on the car dock. I hate having to plug cables into the phone when putting the phone into the dock, bluetooth takes care of the audio nicely, just needed to get the charging sorted!

I'm particulary interested in hearing your experience of where you tapped into in the Defy. Did you solder directly to the back of the the USB connector? And you mentioned needing to connect the data pins to invoke charging, can you explain a little more?
[Defy Accessories] puked:
hi jurgen,

i should have made some photos during the process of making the mod. Sorry for that -.-

Yeah, I soldered directly to the back of the USB port. Only one wire needed for Vcc.

A pinout can be found here:

http://www.talkandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pinout-microUSB1.png

this is the micro USB port, when you look into it from the front.

A guide, how to disassemble the phone can be found via youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSH1UuEOvI

you only need to remove the backcover and the plastic shielding over the USB Port - this is easy.

To be able to reach the pin for soldering, you need to remove the antenna, too.

I drilled a hole into the plastic shielding to lead the cable through. You have to do this; there is no room to lead the cable otherwise.

Put the plastic shield back on, and fixate the cable on it.

to lead this point to the top of the battery, I used adhesive copper-foil.

GND can be taken from different points - I used the slot of the sim-card. lead this point to the top, too.

The receiver i used is from the cover of a palm pre.

The problem I had after I finished the mod: Phone won`t charge. Why? Well - dumb Moto decided the phone will only charge if USB is connected. You have to shorten the Data-Pins.

How did I do this? I got myself some micro USB plugs. remove the pins and dremel/saw it so small, that it fits into the slot completely. Remove the metal shielding and insert one of the pins from underneath (there are small holes, that normaly hold the pins in place). you eventually have to melt the plastic between the holes, so that the metal bridge fits. It should be flat and not stick out. You now have to shorten the pins sticking out on top, so that they are exactly as long as the pins would be.

Sound complicated and is complicated and damn frustrating, cause the whole thing is so tiny. we are talking about maybe 2mm at most.

Afterwards you have to isolate the whole thing. Instead of re-attaching. the metal shield, use some duct tape or similar.

This thing is sturdy if done correctly and easily removable, if you should need the USB Port.

I`m sure there are other possibilities do do make such a plug. This method worked for me.

I`ll make some photos later and post some links to a similar project for the Samsung Galaxy+. I hope it`ll be quite clear afterwards.

If someone wants to do this mod, I suggest you to start with the micro USB plug. Would be very frustrating, if you mod the phone first, and fail making a plug. Without it the whole mod is useless.

Maybe someone knows if it is possible to change something in software (CM7), so that the damn phone will charge without the pins connected. I still hope, this is possible, but didn`t get any feedback to this question as of yet.
[Defy Accessories] jurgenw:
Thank you for the very detailed response and the links. :cool:

I'll look into the links later, the shorting plug sounds like a pain to get right!:eek: Hopefully, as you say, there is a software setting/workaround that can bypass this.
[Defy Accessories] GuustFlater89:
Very interesting project!!! Impressive! One question that comes up: How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
[Defy Accessories] Craigms:
Hi puked,

that's awesome work, congratulations for getting it working!

I did the same thing to my defy a couple of months ago, but I had less success unfortunately. I soldered it in and, like you, I noticed it did not charge when power was applied to the port. I eventually figured out that the pins need to be shorted, so did so, and have managed to nearly get it working.

The problem is, it only works if i take the coil out of the back and push it onto the touchstone base so there is little to no air gap. If it's even slightly off centre, the charging constantly restarts and it doesn't work. I haven't managed to get it to work with the coil in the case. I haven't installed the magnets/steel discs, as I wanted to get it working reliably first.

I wanted to ask, did you find it had to be perfectly centred for it to work? Did gluing the magnets in help here? Did you do anything special with the metal sheild behind the coil?

Craig
[Defy Accessories] GuustFlater89:
Hi Puked,

Can you please take the battery cover of your phone and make a picture of the inside? This might help me to see if I will try to make this mod myself....

Thank you.:)
[Defy Accessories] pprakash:
Hi Puked

First of all Thanks and Congratulations for making it work. Awaiting photos before I touch the screw drivers :)
[Defy Accessories] puked:
Hi and sorry for not responding for such a long time. I´m very busy at the moment, sorry :/

I promise i will make some more photos this evening and update this post with them.

To answer Craigms questions:

I cut the "metal shield, so that it fits - it`s a bit to wide to fit in without shortening. I diden`t use the little round metal plates from the palm cover (these are no magnets), instead i used sheeting from a tin.

To find the best spot on the touchstone, i used wires to link cover and phone, so that i could move the cover around. when i found the optimal place on the touchstone, i attached the sheeting and fixated it.

I also had to dremel down the plastic inside the battery cover so that it fits and closes without pressure.

Notice: The first touchstones seem to be faulty - they have problems even with the original HP phones.

I have problems aligning the phone as well, sometimes. But that only happens, if battery drops below ~30% - that rarely happens since I modded my phone.

Edit:

[Defy Accessories] JohnPower:
Nice work. I've actually just finished a Touchstone Car-Cradle for my Defy.

My problem is the shorting of the data pins... damn those tiny plug :(.

Puked, you wrote that one doesn't need the metal shielding of the plug but in the picture you've posted there is a metal shield around the plug... Without the shield it seemed to me, that the plug is too lose and the data pins have no connection. On the other hand, with shield it's really hard to remove the plug from the defy... in fact there's currently one stuck in the USB port :|.

Having destroyed three plugs with my oversized soldering iron, I now need to wait for new ones before I can continue :/.

Could you please post a picture of the micro-USB plug alone? So I can maybe follow your lead ;)
[Defy Accessories] puked:
Yeah - the plug is a pain in the ass. If I would have known, that the phone wont charge without them connected, I could have solved this problem in a different way.

best thing to do would be to solder 2 more cables to the data pins and shortem them via battery cover - similar how I did it with Vcc and ground - just with data.

You are indeed right - there is a metal shielding. I made a new plug. Will make photos later.

btw. I still believe (hope) that one could make the phone charge without the pins shortened via software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a_c_s:
In the process of moving from the D700 to the D710. Use Titanium to backup apps and mybackuppro for data. I was able to get my apps moved over OK for the most part (Titanium moved about 70% automatically and I had to manually click on the rest for some reason, but no big deal). Where I am running into a separate issue is on the data side. MyBackUp is restoring contacts, call log, SMS/MMS fine, but hangs when I try to restore my calendar. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on another way besides google to backup and restore my calendar from my original Epic?

Secondly, I've read some threads about undervolting. I have both Tegrak and Voltage Control, and when I launch them, both say they don't support my current kernel. I am on Starburst's newest ROM, but he uses the Lostkernel from Chris41g, which has been and continues to be one of if not the most popular kernels for the D710. Is anybody out there able to use either of these programs with this kernel to undervolt? If not, what kernel are you using? One of the reasons I like Chris' is that there is no LOS issues...

Thanks in advance for any help, A
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
I had the same problem then i Odin stock pulled kernel with cwm5 now my tegrak can overclock it.

I haven't got single loss on stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The Lost kernel without overclock built in allows Tegrak, the experimental on that has built in oc wont allow Tegrak to work. You would want SETCPU for that

Guys have any of you noticed after a full charge you use your phone like crazy and the battery still says 100% because its not updating the drainage and remaining battery left this is happening on stock unrooted and stock rooted now if you reboot it then shows actual battery % left wich is obviously less i think its in the 2.3.5 GB code maybe an update will fix or the devs might be able to fix hopefully just wanted to share,allgamer can you add this to the list of known issues it happened on in store 2 exchanges as well .

Actually there are a few online stores where you can preorder already. In Germany for example you can preorder from Cyberport for 579€ (around 800$). According to this site, shipping starts 24th. I don't know if the date is valid, but Cyberport is a legitimate site.

Maybe the title is confusing. I hope to develop a binary command, placed under /system/bin, for example, called "tester".

when I use adb shell to execute, such as

and the phone will make a call to 911.

Anyone could give me an idea where should I start?

You can do either

am start -a android.intent.action.DIAL -d tel:911

or

The first one will only show the dialer with the number specified whereas the second will actually make the call.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
Here's the story:

Had a vibrant, put Axura (Axura 205 Vibrant) on it. Worked great for many many months, until I broke the screen. I tried to replace it but that's another story.

Fast forward to now, I have a new Vibrant, with the same ROM on it, (flashed from stock).

I have tried 6 or 7 different ROMS of various release (Froyo/GB), but the GPS never shows satellites. I have done the access LBSTest fix as suggested elsewhere in the forums, but still not seeing satellites.

On my old phone this specific ROM (Axura) worked great. Same ROM, another phone, doesn't work.

It feels like the gps hardware is bad (I bought the phone used) but my business partner's phone does the exact same thing.

ANY diagnostic steps or outline would be great! I don't know how to determine if the GPS hardware is functioning properly or not. A link, list or other from someone who has dealt with this before would be a wonderful help.

THANKS!

(The only odd thing I have noticed is the stock rom won't connect to any cellular networks. Putting Axura (or any ROM) corrects that issue.)

EDIT: I should note that enabling "Use wireless networks" allows some data to be used, but I assume this is based off of hardware mac addresses of the wireless routers and google's location database rather than actual satellite data
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
I should also note the manufacture date is 10.10 and the current modem is JK2.

I have been researching various fixes (in spite of the anomaly stated above) and it seems the hardware soldering fix only relates to pre 10.10 and suggests a modem higher than JI6.

I am tempted to try some other ROMs but have exhausted my attempts and feel maybe this isn't something I can fix anymore. Help still appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
sounds like you'll need to open it and do the HW mod for the GPS antenna contacts to be firm together, I used a piece of shaped plastic to keep the tab in an elevated position so it wouldn't lose tension after its snapped back. then DL heathens GB GPS fix , it works awesome for me, best GPS lock ever

Oh an one more thing, Aurora isn't the best choice of ROM, unless that's what you like. JMHO
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
Thanks. I'll do both, I am kind of apprehensive about soldering the gps, I have broken things before, although I am ok with a solder gun.

Any suggestions on ROMS? I am open for them, have tried a few (Cm7, SIMPLE, Revolution, + others) but since I couldn't get the gps to work I assumed it was rom related.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrapnelx:

Running KB5 now. Which app do you recommend for seeing what/how many satellites have a lock? The one I am using now (Gps Status) just has a spinning icon on the bottom, with no info.

Edit: Just went outside with the GPS Test app (disabled use WiFi for location) and it could "see" 1 satellite, but was using 0. Does this help in giving an idea as to why it won't work?

Maybe the antenna issue can still exist post the 9.10 manufacturer date.
