[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voyager529:
SOLVED!

I managed to solve my own issue =) It's a bit more complicated than I would have thought, but it did work =)

Step 1: Mount your device with Activesync.

Step 2: Navigate to the My Documents\UA Contents folder, and drag the "MMS UA" folder to your desktop.

Step 3: Go to this site: http://wargolet.com/wm6/ and download the "MMS Extractor" application. It's a tiny .exe file.

Step 4: Run the application, and choose "Process Folder". Navigate to the MMS UA folder, and pick a file. It will process all the .dat files it can read.

Step 5: Enjoy all the .JPEG MMS files extracted off your phone =)

Hope it helps someone else! I donated a few bucks to the guy since he solved a problem for which there are plenty of Google search results, but no good tutorial for =).

hey guys, I bought an HTC HD7 phone off of a guy that brought his fone over from the UK and I'm on a rogers carrier so I can't get a 3G connection due to the diff bands I guess, so if I bought an HD7 phone off of a guy on a Bell carrier and I unlocked it, would I be able to get that 3G connection? cuzz this edge crap is driving me nuts! I have a great data plan and I wanna take advantage of it by streaming my fav radio stations and stuff like that....or is there a way of getting 3g on my current phone? cuzz I entered all the APN settings and still no 3G!! :mad:
[HD7 General] be_man36:
ok so I'm guessing with the non responses that this cant be done, as I thought since the last 2 years bell switched to GSM AND CDMA to accommadate the iPhone users of their customers...which is why I was thinking I can use a bell HTC HD7 phone on a rogers account. CAN ANYONE confirm or deny if its possible? aaanyone?
[HD7 General] be_man36:
ok thx for nothing guys...
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
as long as the 3G bands match, 3G should work.

couldn't find the 3G frequency bands for either Rogers or Bell Mobility in my quick google search.

but i believe AT&T and Rogers use the same 3G bands, so an HTC HD7S should work if you can find one.
[HD7 General] the92playboy:
I have a hd7 on bell. If I can find a friend on Rogers I will try swapping the SIM cards and seeing if that works.
[HD7 General] be_man36:
wonderful! thx guys appreciate it...
[HD7 General] be_man36:
btw is your phone UNLOCKED? if not then I dont see this working! LOL
[HD7 General] the-wrangler:
quick google/bing search shows both Bell and Rogers use 850/1900..so yes, long as it's unlocked it should work just dandy ;)
[HD7 General] be_man36:
great sound kool, thx for the info
[HD7 General] saifhaq:
I'm using an unlocked Bell HD7 on fido (rogers), and 3G works great!
[HD7 General] be_man36:
ahh kool! thx for the info
[HTC Inspire 4G] AMiiGOE:
If you read my other thread, you will get the problem i had.. but anyways today my screen finally shows, i try to turn it on but it loads the white background with htc on it then fades away and becomes black but with light.... i tried to go through recovery on the bootloader option but when i do that it just takes me back to that little problem.. it loads the htc logo then fades to black..

Can someone please help because i am going to get it replaced but i would rather keep mine then get some refurbished one..

Thanks guys!

We need more info to be able to help. You have not given any details about rom, radio, ect... That one would need to help you. Plus saying quick in this forum is no promise anyone will be able to help even after 8 hours with no replies
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60thWaffle:
Every single time I try and update the to the 7.5 update in my htc surround it breaks the SD card. I've gone through the original 16gb, a 2gb, and now an 8gb all working fine. It gets stuck at the white htc screen and Even through a hard reset it isn't fixed. Is there anything I can do about this.

Edit:Now the phone is stuck at white boot screen and no SD card works on it. it also vibrates 5 or 6 times when starting up.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
How long have you wated at the OEM screen? The first bootup after installing Mango can take several minutes (I've heard up to 20; it took about 2 for my HD7 though).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60thWaffle:
an hour at least i waited patiently otherwise I wouldn't have made a thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Sounds like either faulty hardware or a bad update. The first I can't help you with; you'll probably need to take it for warranty replacement (put the original card back in first). If you violated the warranty getting the card out in the first place, then... yeah, I don't think I can help with that either.

As for a bad update, have you made any changes to the phone that could have messed things up? A few classic examples:

Using a custom ROM (not necessarily harmful, but it could be).

Using Chris Walsh's updater to force-install NoDo.

De-branding your phone to get NoDo or Mango early.

Re-branding your phone to access other carrier or OEM-specific apps, especially if not restored before you tried updating.

Manually changing registry keys (most are pretty harmless, a few will mess stuff up hard, many are probably more subtle).

In any case, if you can't get the phone working again as-is, I suggest rolling back to NoDo (it sounds like you can still do that) and then trying a custom Mango ROM, instead of trying to update your current install.

If you'd like, I'll send you a backup tool I have been working on for HTC phones that will let you preserve application state (game progress, things like that) on your PC so you can restore it after flashing. (The app is rough and unfinished, and only semi-compatible with Mango, which is why I haven't published it yet. HTC-only, doesn't work if you have the HTC Update for Windows Phone that comes with Mango.)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60thWaffle:
Thanks for the loving response I didnt do any thing like you suggested. My phone is now semi bricked I was going to flash back to a nodo rom then use andes custom mango update so I needed to install hspl and rspl. Turns out my SPL wasnt on there I'm in 4.xx. So now the tri color screen only shows 1 line of text at the top like it was mentioned when your phone is semi bricked on the HSPL thread.
[HTC Sensation] lilpaul340:
Hey guys, I cracked my screen when the phone fell off my lap leaving the car. What is the best way for me to replace it or get it replaced. Only the gorilla glass is broken LCD is fine and everything else works fine. Thank you. I live in USA in NY if that helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CirrusFalcon:
So my Samsung Galaxy s2 has no password and is simply using a slide to unlock.

I've been using widget locker in combination with mclock in order to customize how my lockscreen looks.

Being the super perfectionist that I am, in order to have my lock screen look perfect I allowed widgets to overlap in widgetlocker in order to have my mclock and unlocking slider fit in the correct spaces. Usually my unlock slider would work if I added it after adding the mclock, but after getting a text message for some reason the order of importance has reverted and now I cannot slide my unlocker D:

What do?? The mclock widget is now on top of the slider and I can't unlock my phone. Remember there is no password, pin, or pattern lock. I have also disabled all of the buttons so pressing back, home, or menu does nothing.

Is there any way to remotely kill widget locker? Do I have to factory reset? (Please nooooooo)

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Edit: Galaxy S2*
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilDX:
does your galaxy s2 have a "safe mode" that you can boot into and uninstall widget locker?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CirrusFalcon:
Not that I'm aware of. I'm relatively new to this phone. I'll do a quick google search to see what I can do though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Have you tried uninstalling it via your pc (http://blog.artuc.net/how-to-uninstall-android-applications-via-your-computer/).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CirrusFalcon:
Attempting right now. Downloading all of the required necessities.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CirrusFalcon:
My phone is in debug mode and a feature of debug mode on the S2 is that when you plug it in in order to connect you have to press "connect" through the phone's interface before your phone appears connected on the computer.

This might be a problem because I followed the steps in the link that you sent me Theonew and on the cmd prompt after typing in "adb.exe uninstall com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker" the reaction code i get is "- waiting for device -"

So no cigar I guess. Anything else I could try?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CirrusFalcon:
Resolved my own issue. I booted it up in recovery mode and wiped the cache. This booted me past the lockscreen and into the homescreen where I could promptly resize my lockscreen widgets. Thanks for the help and suggestions though everyone!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
I should have known. Since you said you didn't want to factory reset, I ruled out dealing with recovery as an option not remembering wiping cache alone could do the trick. Glad you solved it though ;).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nikmash232:
I noticed I just started to get loss of service since I used the USB jig. Could that in anyway cause loss of service?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demonlordoftheround:
No, the jig only resets the download counter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nikmash232:
hmm then what could be causing it. I didn't get loss of service once before I plugged that jig in must be a coincidence I guess..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
it was a coincidence. in fact, nobody really knows the real cause of LoS. heck, I doubt even Samsung/Sprint knows what's up, lol

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alfrix:
Hello everyone, i was testing 'SD speed tweak' of CF-Root by skin1980 in KPM, and found out that it wasn't working properly, so i decided to fix it and share the results

This tweak aims to increase read speed of both internal and external sd-cards by increasing the buffer size. It should work in any firmware/rom with ROOT privileges, if the rom doesn't support loading scripts from init.d, check the bottom of the post.

Put this script in /etc/init.d with any name, for example 98Sdfix:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb;

Important! it needs execution permissions (rwxrwxrwx) it can be done in root explorer or on a terminal by doing chmod 777 /etc/init.d/98sdfix

Important! the second path 179:16 may vary according external SD size, check the path with a root explorer and adjust the script if needed.

Reboot or run the script in a terminal as root to see the effects

Info: the number 2048 is the new buffer size (original was 128), it can be anything like 256,512,1024,2048,3072,etc. you can use whichever you found best (i recommend Sd Tools to test)

Option 2 (if the above isn't working for you)

#!/system/bin/sh
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:1234/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb;
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb;

Please notice that in the path to the file there are folders named mmc0:0001 and mmc1:1234 this last 4 numbers could vary from different firmware versions/roms check the path with a root explorer and adjust the script if needed.

Note: if the rom doesn't support loading scripts from init.d, it could work anyways using Script manager or any app like it, be sure to check "Run as Root" and 'Run at boot'

Similar Post on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

(it isn't exactly the same since i added external-sd and option 2 is device specific)

I hope it helps :D

Script attached: unzip and place it in /etc/init.d please check the second path with a root explorer and adjust the script if needed
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
You should put a disclaimer: With this fix there will be sync issue with voice and video in video recording
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alfrix:
Sorry to hear that, but its not a problem of the fix (tested several times, i don't have that problem), maybe it's a slow card (Class 4 or greater is recommended for HD), or it can be some other modifications you made, try with a ramscript to see if the phone has the problem because it struggling with ram, i suggest v6supercharger with MegaRAM settings...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alfrix:
Not really, only internal sdcard is considered (179:0) wich is universal, external-sd (179:16) it's not and must be manually added

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
most of the script part went over my head so can someone pls tell how to install it in a simple way??pls

i can paste the script in /etc/init.d

but what does this mean?-

please check the second path with a root explorer and adjust the script if needed??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
"Please notice that in the path to the file there are folders named mmc0:0001 and mmc1:1234 this last 4 numbers could vary from different firmware versions/roms check the path with a root explorer and adjust the script if needed."

after placing the script, using root explore, follow the system path as mentioned: "/sys/devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:1234"

means "in the sys folder, open the devices folder, then open the platform folder, then open the mmi-omap-hs.0 folder, etc. etc." until you get where you need to go.

my address on mmc1 is e624 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
im going to use method 1

but in place of 2048 what should i put , i tried sd tools but i got speed in mb/s (writing 7mb/s and reading 16.7mb/s)

so what to put in place of 2048 in the script:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb;
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
Mine is 60MB/s read and 10 in write
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
i have applied this script

so now do i have to disable sd speed tweak in the cf root tweak manager??:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] SagiTHORus_:
It simply worked , thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hamzaeid:
i have 32GB class 10 SD Card before this script my Writing Speed was :28.3 MB/s and Read Speed: 34.2

but after the script my Writing Speed is:16.4 :crying: but My Read Speed: 64.8 :o what is this ???? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hamzaeid:
Important!

For people that can't find the second path :: like Me :D

I think this is easiest way to know the second path the first part 179 is constant put the the second part (16) it depends on you Ext SD Card Size (i tried this tweak but without modification and it work on internal sd card only but when i modified it and make it 179:32 cuz i have 32GB micro SD card it works perfectly ) :o

Enlisting top game developers like EA and Hasbro to make some Nokia exclusive games. Games like tiger woods PGA tour 11, madden 11, NBA Jam, Dead Space, The Game of Life, and plenty more. I knew Nokia wasn't going to blow us away with specs, it's all about quality and marketing with Nokia, one of the oldest and hands down the greatest cellphone OEM. I can't wait to play NFS: Shift.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Series 40 Nokia devices.

Would be beyond retarded for those developers to release apps and games exclusively for one WP7 device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
not only series 40, they're releasing some wp7 games as well that will initially be only for nokia's wp7 devices and are expected to broaden after the exclusive effect wears off. It's not the 40 free games that they promise for series 40 but it's something. Also, there are two Nokia devices. I have a two 800s headed here now and will get a 710 when it comes stateside.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Its 40 free games for the S40 and 20 Nokia exclusive games for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Zee, how about your rich ass send me a device! Show me some love bro.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Should make things interesting...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Awful idea.

You have a struggling platform, and you release major titles (the likes of which were promised about the initial launch) only on sub par "2nd Gen" devices that won't even hit North America for a year?

I gotta be honest, this is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard, if it is indeed true.

I work with marketing, please don't give me a line about how this is supposedly genius.

This is like bizarro world or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Struggling platform - true.

Subpar 2nd gen devices - so they won't be able to run on the Nokia 1.4GHz phones?

Won't hit North America - so the world = North America?

If you work with marketing then you would understand that you satisfy your base and then expand. People game in the UK and Asia. Nokia is biggest in the UK and Asia. This is a principle of business.

I know, a better idea would be to do nothing at all. How is it Nokia's fault that they decided to commission game companies to do something with their phone that would bring some attention to it? This is exactly what SE tried to do with their Play phone. Gaming on phones is where things are at and the companies know this, hence the focus on it with the iPhone during the last conference.

It is like some people made up their minds to dislike any move some companies make. No, Nokia don't pay companies money to bring popular games exclusively to your phone. No, gaming companies don't take Nokia's money.

Right.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
No, its not dumb of Nokia. Its actually smart of Nokia.

Its dumb as hell for the developers. Why limit yourself?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
can't wait to see how well dead space run on WP7/ adreno 205 GPU...

Can't wait to see how long the developers going to support their games on WP7...

Have been stop buying games for months since the developers of harvester(games that microsoft claimed the one of the best graphic) zombie attacks 2 and de blob stop updating their games...

cool stuffs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Think about it Vet. Did these companies launch these titles on a mobile platform prior to Nokia approaching them? No, op it is actually even smarter for the developers.

I want you to take your year old game: Vetvito 2011. Never mind Vetvito 2012 is about to launch, I will pay you to build the old one for my platform. When all is said and done I would have paid you to develop a framework to run one of your popular reoccuring gaming titles on a mobile platform.

Smile all the way to the bank.

Everyone is a winner.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I didn't realize Early 2012 was a year away
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
This is an absolutely genius move. Do you not remember the call for ilomilo when it was an ATT exclusive. I literally had dozens of people approaching me asking me if I could get that game on their device as I'm more or less a local cellphone guru. People want what they can't have, let us Nokia WP7 users show it off first, show what WP7 can actually do, create some interest in not only the platform, but also the OEM. Then after the exclusivity factor wears off release them to all WP7 users, rinse, and repeat. Nokia is WP7's salvation and while it will take some time to hit America (three months I believe) it is hitting the Asian and European market right away and with a name like Nokia there you will sell. Many people there live and die by Nokia.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't think these are old games. Its FIFA 2012 for example. I can't read what the year on the Madden one is.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Doesn't really make any sense. It'd make sense if it was a Nokia exclusive and not available on iOS and Android. This is just screwing over people that are already on the WP7 platform and who chose not to buy a Nokia device.

This is good for Nokia, it is not good for the platform and its not good for the consumer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] species5618w:
Because Nokia probably pays them?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
where the gold at?

Gold = iPhone user base for exclusive

Why, oh why take 1/5 of a check from Nokia, if it's even that much?
[Windows Phone 7 General] SausageSlice:
Here in the UK they have sponsored a whole TV Channel.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
This is an idiotic move. The last thing you want for the platform as a whole is bad publicity which you will definitely get because you're punishing people who made a choice of OEM that suited them better.

If you want SAMOLED+/4"+ screen/FF Camera/32GB+ Storage you will definitely not buy a Nokia so you're being punished for wanting this? Not to mention your carrier might not be selling Nokia phones but only HTC/Samsung instead, so you're being punished for that too?

All that will get is negative reaction towards the platform as a whole. And before I get the stupid "you already know that, just buy a Nokia if you want these games" comment, most people don't go on XDA/Engadget/Pocketnow/WPCentral and wouldn't know about this deal so they would just feel cheated when they realise they can't play Dead Space because they bought a Titan. They're being punished because they don't visit tech websites, well done.

A smarter deal is to make the games available to all but free (or very cheap) to Nokia users, that way everyone wins.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Bad publicity? Punishment?

Where exactly were these games before Nokia commissioned the makers to bring them to the mobile world? And I think this is a false sense of entitlement. Exclusivity occurs quite often. Do you ***** and complain when ATT / Verizon / TMo have exclusive phones? Do you talk about negative publicity when XBox / PS3 / Wii has an exclusive title?

Peew, I may be wrong, but I think you made up your mind that nothing good can come out of anything related to this WP venture so anything that does happen is no good.

Nokia may spend a whole heap of money and it may not turn into a massive success, but there really is nothing wrong with what they are trying to do here. In the mobile industry you need something that differentiates you from the rest. Something that gives the consumer an incentive to choose your handset.
