ReDL the ROM and reflash. Try mounting USB storage while in recovery. Alternatively, Odin the stock .tar for a full refresh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandamaja:
If you've already retired reflashing I'd go with odin back to stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
here is the link for a format all then you can try and flash a rom again if you like. If not I would do like previously suggested and flash return to stock in Odin- link here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gqstatus0685:
Awesome. The wedding made me forget about my phone but now that it's over I'm missing it.

I will flash to stock and re-root.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brunality:
A while back, I set my HD2 running Typhoon's CM7 rom to turn on bluetooth when I plug in the usb cable. Now it's getting to where I'm turning it off everytime b/c I only use bluetooth in my truck. I've updated the rom probably 10 times since, including the last update with CM7.1. I cannot find where I have this option now. I've looked through every stock & CM setting. I'm about sure it's not an ADW option and it should be with the options like 'turn off 3g if Wifi available'.

I feel dumb for asking, but I just can't find this option now.:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brunality:
Nevermind! Turns out I have to change it in the Power Control widget settings. I had a brainfart and checked that, BOOM! Got it.
[General Questions and Answers] skynet13:
hi... i recently installed the FireFly 3.0 rom but i got some problems...

1. i installed a game and when i try to play that game is in slow motion and laggy

2. my battery when i unplug the ac adapter says 99% then in a few minutes says 98% and im not using my captivate at all

3. some apps when i open it are very slow, i have to use a Fast Reboot app to clean memory, some times cleans 170 Mb or 150Mb

i tested first cyanogenmod and is cool no problems i dont have to use fast reboot, is faster i can play the game perfectly, no drain of battery, but then i change the rom to firefly 3.0 because some people told me is cool

The Verge has what I believe to be the first review for this phone.

http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/3/2534861/nokia-lumia-800-review
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Seems to show the same general anti-wp7 bias common amongst tech blogs but less so than most. Commendable enough, though how it didn't outscore the n9 I dont know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
:confused:

Wow, you really see evil everywhere. Anti-wp7 bias? And why should it outscore the N9 exactly? Using their comparison tool, it makes total sense the N9 scores higher. Not to mention you're complaining about a 0.1 difference.

And you call people haters...

http://www.theverge.com/products/compare/42/2593
[Windows Phone 7 General] killerb255:
Please cite specific examples of anti-WP7 bias.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I think it is a pretty objective review. Where the 800 shines, without question, is in the distinctive case design:

Aside from a non-removable battery, it is probably the most attractive-looking phone I've ever seen.

The rest of the review does a commendable job of digging into the phone's strengths and weaknesses, and pulls no punches on areas where they feel Nokia/Microsoft could have done better (the unresponsive physical buttons, average camera performance, competitive but not stand-out WP7 hardware, and so on).

Someone looking for a good WP7 phone would do well to consider the 800. It's a shame it won't be in the US for several months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Because despite astounding hardware, meego is pretty much completely unsupported, not as fluid as wp7, and pretty much completely unsupported. Not to mention it's about as aesthetically appealing as Symbian. If they're reviewing software at all then despite WP7's shortcomings it greatly supercedes meego.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I would trade the possibility to buy a Lumnia 800 for the one to buy a Focus S :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
+1 on that. The Lumia 800 is nice, no doubt. But the Focus S is plain sexy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
You can argue WP7 isn't the best supported OS either and the N9 gives you Front Facing camera, 4 times more storage, double the RAM, a bigger screen, NFC, pentaband, tethering, video out. Since you're not scoring potential, it seems fair that the N9 scores higher.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
The 4 times more storage and FFC are considerable, the rest aren't really factors to the vast majority. What would a meego phone even do with all that ram? That said, the score differential is in the design element. There really is very little design difference unless an added dedicated camera button docked the score considerably.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Whatever dude.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
the focus S has the specs but the design element is pretty ugly. I want a phone that's as aesthetically pleasing as the OS itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That comes down to personal preference. After the debacle of Focus updates on WP7, I will never buy another Samsung phone. Ever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leftspeaker2000:
I finally got the chance to pick up and play with a n9 the other day and disregarding the OS i was really not impressed with the build of the phone. Most of my quarrels are with the physical buttons similar to what the article mentioned and i really do not like having the micro usb ports at the top of the phone as opposed to the bottom as i like to put my phones in a cradle at my desk.

Although this is the n9 i am sure its is very similar to the lumia 800. This is definitely not the phone for me primarily due to its small screen size, as i like the real estate i currently hold with my HD7.

I still think its funny when reviewing WP7 devices they actually talk about the operating system other then to increase awareness. The WP7 experience is the same across nearly all handset minus included software, this is different to android reviews as they can have different interface which effect look and performance. Continuity is a wonderful thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
I will just say one thing.. I WANT IT!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I'm still on the fence of whether to stay with WP7, or put it on the back burner (for now) while it finishes cooking. But, if I do stick with it, and assuming that Nokia can iron out the camera issues prior to releasing the 800 in the US, and assuming that there is a 32 GB option, this will probably be my phone of choice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Peew, its me. :) Please just hear (or read) me out for a few minutes and maybe we can see eye to eye.

I can't stand engadget's reviews but they are a necessary evil. I am hoping The Verge is different and when I opened the link you posted, I noticed the author's name sounded familiar. Vlad Savov... Vlad... where have I seen that before? Then I remember a conversation I had with a good friend about this article here.

Go to that link. Scroll down to the Disqus comments section. Sort by Best Rating. The comments complaining about Vlad are overwhelming. There was an aspect of the tablet that he complained about and it turned out he did not know what he was doing.

Now, back to where we are. I have not read the review yet and it may be a fair one. Engadget also posted their review today. I will read both and comment.

But Vlad was a questionable reviewer then at Engadget. Maybe he got better. Maybe he was being censored.

Edit:

I just read The Verge's review and it honestly sounded like a fair review. He nitpicked on the buttons on the phone, but since I haven't used it I will defer. Zee, you might be a little too sensitive ;)

I could not even get through the first paragraphy of the Engadget review. They started off by slamming Elop for saying the 800 is a refinement of the N8, citing every hardware feature is worse. The Lumia 800 has a 1.4GHz cpu, radio, bettery battery life, a dedicated camera button, and Windows Phone on it. Clearly in a Windows Phone event, he would refering to the whole package as a refinement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I don't know why people seem to hate on Engadget, I think they do a great job on reviews. I've read their Lumia 800 review and it's no less fair than The Verge's (most of The Verge crew comes from Engadget anyway). Fine, not every feature is worse but they do have a point. I can give you the better processor if you want but the battery is the same (battery life is not battery) and the radio is part of the OS. So really that's it. Ok I can also give you the camera button if you want.

I don't know why some of you can't admit the Lumia 800 is a downgrade from the N9 hardware-wise, this is pretty clear.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I do. I'm not impressed with the 800. Haven't been, either. But I just read something about the N9 that intrigued me. It has MeeGo and that's the only mobileOS I have never experienced.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
software is more important to me than hardware. That's why I dont use android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
That's not the point, you guys are arguing that the N9 doesn't have better hardware, yes it does. As far as software is concerned, I don't know if you have used Meego but I haven't so I have to trust reviewers and they are all saying it's great.

This is how arguments start here, how can you have a negative reaction to the obvious?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
You used the phrase "some of us" and that is valid. But maybe you are asking the wrong people and making straw men of them.

The Nokia N9 has much better hardware in totality than the Lumia 800.

Pentaband 3G, bigger storage option, a more spacious 3.9" screen (subjective), FFC, 1G RAM, BT that supports file transfer (a hardware feature supported by software), WiFi hotspot support (software enabled feature)...

Battery life is in my opinion a hardware component as well as a software component, but since the battery (and hence how long it lasts) is hardware that is why I put it there. Reviewers I read also tend to as well.

But the average, logical Windows Phone supporter in here will agree with your point.

Now I wonder if you will reciprocate: Why is it that you cannot admit Windows Phone Mango has made significant progress in the app + feature + hardware department since inception?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I never said the hardware was better. I said the phone as a whole was better. I would've liked a direct port, but unfortunately with the chipset, it wasn't possible. Sadly Microsoft doesnt support that chipset, but I could even live with a swap of the chipset. I dont know what they were thinking, all I know is right now the lumia 800 is the most aesthetically pleasing phone in both OS and hardware. Meego, while better than most, still suffers from similar lag to android (slightly better) and a UI that makes any old dumbphone OS look revolutionary. That said, multi-tasking greatly supercedes that of any other OS and the social network integration rivaled wp7 until the release of mango. If wp7 could adopt such a means of multi-tasking I believe WP7 would be a flawless OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Wow! I just now find out the N9 has a larger display than the 800. Unbelievable. Nokia went out of its way to make the 800 much less than the N9.

[scratching head]...I live in a seriously screwed up world where things go in reverse of what they are supposed to. :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
We're off topic here but:

I will admit Windows Phone made significant progress in the app department up to July but since then it's been more about quantity than quality.

I will admit that Mango brought more features to the platform but I wouldn't qualify them as significant since they haven't really had any impact on my daily use of the phone.

I will not admit to any significant progress hardware-wise, there is really no incentive to upgrade from a 1st gen phone unless you can afford it. A minimum would have been at least one device with more storage options.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
No, Peew they do not have a point. How can you say they have a point when the statement as you would agree is wrong? They made an absolute statement that is absolutely absurd. They could have easily said most, but that is Engadget for you. They do not do a great job of reviews and had to abandon their scoring system because it exposed them for their glaring inconsistencies, and then had the audacity to insult our intelligence by saying they are getting rid of it because it does not translate well over time. Yet so many other places manage to use it quite fine because we understand! Maybe they got rid of the scoring system right before the latest iPhone 4S and they could not bear to give it something less than a 9?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Its the exact same screen. The N9 just didn't have the buttons on bottom, and therefore had an extended verticle resolution. 854 x 480 vs 800x480 for WP. That extra 54 pixels is where the buttons are located.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
3.9" vs 3.7"
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Let us not be myopic, it is wrong to say that because you have not seen significant progress because in you do not use said features.

After all, you are griping that because someone sees no need for 64GB / FFC / 3.9" Screen that they cannot deny the hardware is better. You are being exactly what you are condoning.

I wish we could leave constant battle with this understanding:

1. Windows Phone is struggling. Sales are not good. Hardware is not going to impress the tech world. The software is far behind.

2. Windows Phone is an innovative, promising user experience that may fill the needs of some people right now.

I think that is the root of all the bickering. People push what they want, need, and expect out of a product. People have difference of opinion, but aren't we then telling people what they should be doing?

Edit:

I missed that screen comment. The screen cannot be the "same" if it 54 pixels smaller. It is smaller, yes to accomodate buttons, but smaller none the less. They did not go out of their way to make it lesser, they had to follow the specifications. Why does not one also harp on a dedicated camera button? That is a significant improvement that, when coupled with the camera feature in Windows Phone, makes the device very useful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Did you not read what I said? The N9 screen is 480 pixels wide. 854 pixels high. That 54 pixels that WP doesn't support is the extra .2" Thats where the buttons are. Were they supposed to stretch the tiles an extra 54 pixels and add buttons to the back of the N9?

For a 3.9" WP they would not have been able to use the exact glass and moldings from the N9.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
dt, I am on your side of this war, but you are not understanding the point being made. The screen is smaller. We know why, but the screen is still smaller.

And actually I question your reason. I believe the screen is smaller adhere to the Windows Phone specs of 3 dedicated buttons and be able to reuse the N9 chassis.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
@nicksti maybe we don't define significant the same way, Mango is a great update but not significant in my eyes. It could just be down to developers having not made use of the new APIs yet, I don't know. Your 2 points are perfectly valid, issues usually arise when users here deny the first one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
The review is quite fair.

They say Lumia looks good but is no different to other WP7 devices in almost any way.

What is true.

Yep. But as above they will always say it doesn't matter because "vast majority" doesn't care.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I think I'm the only one that thought the review was pretty fair. I mean I wouldn't say the review was unbiased because of the rigid comparison between n9 and nokia lumia 800. Other than that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] uryu_ishida:
No, what's really driving the screen size is the 800x480 requirement. It would've been impossible to put a 800x480 3.9" screen without widening the chassis.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I am not following this at all.

The Nokia N9 is 480x854 pixel 3.9" screen phone in the N9 chassis.

The Nokia Lumia 800 is a 480x800 phone. Why couldn't they have a phone with less vertically arranged pixels in the same screen? It is the buttons. You have to have 3 buttons in Windows Phone. The N9 does not have the space to accomodate any buttons around the screen. They had to make the screen smaller (which they cut off the bottom) to accomodate the three button below. Like dtboos said.

My Motorola Defy is one of the most compact 3.7" screen phones on the market and I love it. The 4+" phones are too big for me, unless they did it like the Defy.

Peew, issues also arises when people also discredit the second. We can sum up all the arguments on this forum into exactly those two stances:

Windows Phone is not good enough for me.

Windows Phone is good enough for me.

All disagreements stem from those two principles. Without calling names, there are certain members on this board that if you own a phone that cannot separate conjoined twins and does not contain technology borrowed from the Roswell crash site, and even worse you are not able to comprehend this technology then you are not worth talking to. Here is why the Lumia and Windows Phone is perfect for me:

1. I am not an attractive person. I do not want a FFC.

2. I have no aspirations of playing fancy games on my phone. I have access to a gaming console. Puzzle games (which are the most popular genre) are good enough for me.

3. I read my email (and actually do not write), browse, take pictures/videos of the kid (who thankfully looks like his mum), play simple games, and chat using whatsapp. A Nokia C3 can successfully accomplish this. This is probably why I like mid ranged smartphones. Cheap, and give me a little more flexibility than feature phones.

But in this forum we have too many people that find a need to tear down any and every thread that just mentions any upcoming Windows Phone products / news.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I think you are not following the point because you are all caught in an argument of semantics. Many people, when you say "smaller screen", interpret that to mean that the size of each individual pixel is smaller. In this case, the dimensions of the screen are smaller, and there are fewer pixels on it. So in that sense, it is smaller. However, the size and arrangement of the pixels that are common between the two displays is identical. So in that sense, it isn't smaller.

As for your comment about "good enough" versus "not good enough", I think that grossly oversimplifies most peoples' perspectives. Certainly, when I read some of the more passionate posts from "defenders", they don't come across to me as having the opinion that WP7 is good enough. They come across as saying that WP7 is utterly fantastic, and it is inconceivable that anyone could say it is not the most perfect mobile OS ever imagined. Of course, I am sure that, so some, the "haters" come across as saying that WP7 is the most pathetic excuse for an OS ever dreamed, and it should be put out of its misery immediately, if not sooner.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pomszi5:
do you guys think that it will have a long battery time,like all the other nokias? i have to charge my omnia once a day even if i only listen to music:S
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
See that's good, this phone is good for you and I can see why. Here is why none of the new phones are good fore me: I used to have a Zune HD, then Microsoft said they were abandoning it to put all the Zune efforts into WP7. Fair enough but then the least they should do is offer suitable storage for people like me making the jump.

If you keep an open mind you can understand people having issues with the new hardware and making a whole thread about it. There is still no 32GB phone, MSD card slots are gone, hardware keyboards are gone.

I also game on consoles, however I like the idea of gaming on my phone rather than having to carry a 3DS/PSP. I have 2 issues with gaming on WP7:

- Again, storage. Games (and their saves) take space, they eat up storage pretty fast. When you rock 8GB or 16GB you're in trouble very quickly.

- I don't care that this OS is only one year old, it's ridiculous that a leading gaming company can't offer a better experience and catalogue on their own platform. They have money and partners, that's the one area they should be killing it (there's a nice section on that in the last thisismynext podcast). Like I said elsewhere, if Apple was making the jump from mobiles to consoles, where do you think they would be after a year?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
From the reviews it's just about the same as any other WP7 smartphone, just slightly worse than the Titan. So I would say don't expect a typical Nokia battery life but rather a typical smartphone battery life which is a day.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
shouldnt this be in the lumia section that nobody can get to because it does not show in the find your device box?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Maybe because it's not out yet :rolleyes:

but they moved other threads there and announced it on the front page so i have a shorcut saved. Could be a point though.

[Windows Phone 7 General] guizzy:
It's a bit sad, but I think the N9 is the reason for the high-ish only scores for the Lumia 800. Basically, reviewers are over the "wow" factor for the design, as they've already held it in the N9. Had the Lumia 800 been released first, the reviewers would have been writing the review with the whole "this is the most gorgeous phone ever" mindset they had as when they reviewed the N9.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
If you guys want to read a proper biased review (unlike the ones from The Verge and Engadget) check out WPCentral. They gave it a 9.0 so I totally expect the Titan and Focus S to get close to perfect score. Also their battery lasted 22 hours, don't know how they pulled this off.

http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-800-review#comments
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
you know I don't get how we can all call a review bias/unbiased since by the very nature reviews are biased opinions of how someone experiences things...

It's totally subjective and so what one experience is good versus one experience is bad.

Instead of using a review for your purchase use it as a possibility to gain information on a device not an end all be all

and yes this goes for my reviews too!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Don't worry the Lumia 800 could score perfectly everywhere it still wouldn't be right for me, I know this much. I do indeed use the reviews for information.

Still, a 9.0 seems a bit odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JustinTV773:
Lets not stray from the point of this thread. Its quite obvious that Engadget is biased against WP and anything Microsoft for that matter. That is why sites like WPCentral exist.

Sent from my T7575 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
That's the point of this thread? That Engadget is biased against WP and Microsoft? Wow I didn't even know that and I'm the OP!

By the way as a regular listener of the Engadget and Engadget Mobile podcasts, I can tell you they love Windows Phone. They just which it would develop faster.
