Samsung replaced the regular Android Bluetooth stack with their own that doesn't support game controllers.

In order to get a Wii or PS3 Bluetooth controller working, going to need to use an AOSP-based build like Cyanogenmod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Horvaticus:
There's a program from the Market that will enable support for Playstation 3 controllers. They can emulate mouse mode with their thumbsticks, etcetera, but the hard part is trying to find a game that's controller enabled.

The app sixaxis controller off of the market will work for our skyrocket. It will allow you to sync up to 4 ps3 bt controllers. Sixaxis controller also requires root access to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sixk:
I am using mostly emu games and used Sixaxis seems to work well but you have to connect it manually from the PC if you connect your controller back to the PS3...

So I tried the wii but it wont connect...

I dont personally use it but I tested Speaktoit and it works really well. Answered everything I asked it. I would use it if I where into that sort of stuff.

I also used the IVONA TTS HQ engine with Speaktoit. Not sure if it is better than stock (Pico TTS) but thats what was recommended for me to use by a friend.

O and in actual use, the UI is much much better than the screen shots lol.

Speaktoit is a really great tool. It just supports the english language. It´s not a problem for me. But not practicable within a bounch of people. They would look irritated, when you just speak another language ;-)

First of all, I had to adjust the language which is read by Speaktoit. It was automatically set to default, which was german. So it was terrble to listen to german spoken english ;-)

Without any sounds arround me, it workes perfectly. When it´s a little bit louder it often understand the commands wrong.

I just got a HTC amaze 4g from mobilicity yesterday and I've noticed on the screen that there is a slight chip on it. New from the box with no calls, zero minutes etc... basically the store employee just inserted the sim and I put it in the box again and brought it home where I noticed that one side of the screen (vertically) is not perfect where there's a tiny curve/chip of the screen.

Anyone else also had this experience?

I'm going back to the store that I've purchased it from and show it to them also and get an exchange since I haven't even used the phone after the inserted the sim on it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
There shouldn't be any chip on the screen, anywhere.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
There is no current method to flash just the baseband that I know of. Assuming you want the newest KK1, the method you can use is to flash back to stock, do the official OTA update from AT&T, and then flash the rom you want and the KK1 modem will remain.

This should work with all of the roms listed here--none of them have the modem packaged in it that I know of (and I think I've tried them all...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
Actually, there is :) Tested and working fine! I have meant to release a CWM updater for this method (it's sitting on my linux partition - but it needs more widespread testing.)

Here is the manual method:

grab the odin.tar containing radio you want

grab amss.bin and mdm.bin from it

adb push them to your /sdcard/

boot into CWM

use the menu to mount /emmc

connect in adb shell

type the following:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/emmc/mmcblk0p13.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/emmc/mmcblk0p17.bin

(this gives you a backup of your /system/etc/firmware/misc and /system/etc/firmware/misc_mdm which constitute the modem)

dd if=/emmc/amss.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

dd if=/emmc/mdm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

(done, you are now on the new modem firmware)

as a sanity check you can attempt to mount the partition to verify it flashed correctly, unmount and dd your backup if it did not)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SalTNutz:
PM me a link and I'll test it for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bekarhoo:
Cool...Sorry to be naive here, what if you have a CWM zip, how do you extract the mdm.bin and amss.bin? If someone can post the KK1 equivalent of those two (if they are on 2.3.6), I can probably create a CWM package using above instructions.

I am looking for the stock "News + Weather" Genie widget, to install on my Sprint Galaxy SII. I did find one on here but it uses the old simple/cartoon looking weather graphic.

I thought there was a version with more realistic weather icons on the widget ?

Also is there a semi transparent version ? I have tried the 100% clear Genie widget, and don't like that. Wondering if there is like a 50% half transparent version, with light shaded border. ?

Thank you

I have the semi-transparent light bordered one, but it's an older one. Don't know about new weather icons or anything. This uses the "cartoon-y" ones.

I think I have it saved from when I used CM7 a long time ago (early this year, before a stable release) and Matted Blues was a flashable theme only for the Evo.

T-Mobile, Nokia tout 'something exciting' for next week

Roger Cheng

by Roger Cheng December 7, 2011 11:00 AM PST

(Credit: T-Mobile USA)

T-Mobile USA and Nokia have sent out invitations to an event that hypes up "something exciting in the works," likely the first Nokia Windows Phone to hit the United States.

The media event is scheduled for next Wednesday.

The event will likely mark Nokia's latest attempt to get back into the U.S. market. After years of languishing with phones on an aging operating system, Nokia is back with a bit more excitement around its Windows Phone-powered line of Lumia devices. While the phone has already launched elsewhere in the world, it has yet to find a home in the U.S.

T-Mobile, shut off from offering Apple's iPhone, struggling with regulators over a merger with AT&T and, as a result, in need of some positive buzz itself, is likely to take a chance on the Lumia.

Check back with CNET next week for the latest coverage.

Nokia Lumia 900 and Champagne Spotted Once More

Nokia Lumia 800

Enlarge picture

Nokia already made its first handsets running under Windows Phone available for purchase in various markets around the world, and info on new devices from the company has just started to emerge.

Among these, we can mention Nokia Lumia 900, the high-end device that emerged on the web a few times before, along with another handset from the company, codenamed Champagne.

Both smartphones were spotted in the stats of a news reader available for the Windows Phone platform, namely Times Of India, which clearly indicates that they are powered by Microsoft’s mobile OS.

What the app stats show is that Nokia Lumia 900 users have accessed the software, indicating that the device might be in field testing at the moment.

If so, then we might see the mobile phone going official in early 2012, maybe in January at CES, or next month at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Rumored specs for the device would include a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, along with a 1.4 GHz single-core application processor, an 8MP camera on the back 16GB of internal memory, and support for HSPA+ networks.

The handset was already rumored to be on its way to the market during the first quarter of the next year, and chances are that the rumor might actually pan out.

In Q1 2012, Microsoft also plans on making its Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 available in more markets around the world, and Latin America is a market that should receive them at that time.

Nokia Lumia 900

Stephen Elop recently confirmed plans to have the two smartphones available in some of the South American markets in early 2012, including Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico or Puerto Rico.

Nokia released these devices only in a few markets this year, and should bring them to more countries soon, including the aforementioned ones, and some others more, as it kicks off mass production of these smartphones.

Nokia Lumia 710 Rumors Target US, UK Releases

File under: News

By: Stephen Schenck | 3:40 PM 7-Dec-11 | 0 Comments

While the Nokia Lumia 800 has been stealing the spotlight, the manufacturer recently turned its attention to promoting the 710, in anticipation of its wide release. Just when will the phone be available where? The Windows Phone handset had been marked as "coming soon" on Nokia's US site, and while it was initially supposed to have its UK debut in November, those plans have been put on-hold. A couple of new finds may just shed some light on the 710's story.

In the UK, retailer Digital-phone.co.uk has updated its page for the Lumia 710 to show the phone's availability as beginning on January 6. We don't know when the site plans to actually start shipping the phone out to customers, but according to this, it will receive its stocks during that first week of January. So far, no other UK retailers have confirmed a date for the Lumia 710's arrival.

Last we heard, the Lumia 710 may come to the US as the Sword on T-Mobile, again in early 2012. While we don't even have a rumored release date just yet, we may be about to find out. Invitations being distributed for an event to be jointly hosted by T-Mobile and Nokia, set to take place on December 14. There are no specific clues to what might be featured, but we'd be surprised not to learn more about the carrier's plans for the 710. Check back with us in a week to see what's revealed.

T-Mobile US Nokia Lumia 710 confirmed by manual at FCC

December 7, 2011 | By Surur

t-mob7710

We still don’t know exactly what Nokia and T-Mobile US is announcing on the 14th, but it seems the Nokia Lumia 710 is very likely, with TMoNews uncovering this picture from the Lumia 710 manual at FCC.

Does this handset excite anyone on the US carrier, who have been denied a number of high-end devices now, such as the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus S and possibly the Nokia Lumia 800 also now.

More pages can be seen at TMoNews here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
not to impressed on the 710, im looking for a high-end device from Nokia on Tmobile or unlocked maybe even ATT
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'm not terribly excited about the 710 coming to the US, but if you're not interested in a FFC it might be a better buy than the Radar 4G. Also, the Radar 4G was the 3rd best selling device at T-Mobile in November, so maybe there is a big market there for value priced devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
I've kinda veered away from HTC from the many problems and the lack of design that they Implement. I'm going to hold out a little longer to see what else they are going to give us before I upgrade. Can't wait for Apollo

Rumour: Nokia Ace coming to both Verizon and AT&T in Q1 2012

Rumour: Nokia Ace coming to both Verizon and AT&T in Q1 2012

December 9, 2011 | By Surur

We have just received a hot tip about the upcoming Nokia Ace, confirming the leaked specs and also adding LTE to the mix.

The phone will apparently Nokia’s first LTE device, and the first they will be marketing in USA – sorry Lumia 710.

According to our tipster the hardware is ready to go, and the device is just waiting for the Tango OS. Nokia is pushing for a late-January release, while a mid-March release is more likely.

AT&T is guaranteed the device, but apparently Verizon is also pushing hard to be a launch partner.

The specs is as leaked earlier – 4.3" screen, 8megapixel camera, 16gb storage, Windows Phone Tango OS , 1.4Ghz CPU, LTE support.

Is this the device our readers will be waiting for? Let us know below.

I used revolutionary to S-OFF my CDMA desire. I need to send the phone in to US cellular for replacement. I've tried methods to restore S-ON, with no luck. Most of the methods I've read about only work for non CDMA desires. I've tried the command line below, but it doesn't actually unlock HBOOT so it can be overwritten.

Has anyone has any luck restoring S-ON after using revolutionary on their CDMA desire?

Found it interesting that Microsoft just released an Xbox Live app for iOS users that does almost the exact same thing that our Xbox hub does. Is it me or did Microsoft just take away one of the coolest reasons to own a WP7?

Yes I know that you can't earn Xbox achievements on the iOS app, but one of the main things I loved about having the hub on my phone was to see who was online to play, something that made all my Iphone friends jealous.

Would love to hear feedback!

http://microsoft-news.com/microsoft-releases-xbox-live-app-for-ios-users/
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Yes i feel the same way, I think Microsoft lost points on this one but i guess it was bound to happen. +1 for iOS
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
So what are the remaining reasons to buy a WP7? Office, and thats rumoured to be coming to ios. So then with a deficit in apps, mindshare, marketshare, what would be the reason to buy a WP7 device?

What a stupid, stupid, move and when WP7 dies, no one at MS should cry. (Probably all still be on their iphones, anyway).
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
The integration between Windows Phone and Xbox Live isn't good enough be that much of a selling point at the moment. The parts that are, games that add achievements and what not, aren't available on iOS.

You guys are complaining about something that offers the functionality that the xbox live website offers, who cares? You that mad that somebody can edit an Avatar? Read their Xbox Live Messages?

Let's complain when iOS gamers are playing games with people on Xbox Live.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Microsoft being a software company I wouldn't be surprised to see them do that. That's where the customers are.

I think it's damaging to Windows Phone perception wise, iOS has already the best games and now they have an Xbox Live app. Even if the games are not Live enabled, that's not good for perception.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Google has apps on iOS, doesn't seem to have hurt them too much.

Hell, I wouldn't mind Zune support on iOS too, haha.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Yeah Microsoft has been stupid with Zune, if they had made it multiplatform from the go they would own the streaming space now. Not sure Spotify would exist today. Typically Microsoft really.

http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/7/2...ve-app-for-ios-puts-a-little-windows-phone-on

The Verge has an interesting interpretation of this app... expose iPhone users to metro UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
No it wont, just gives them one more reason to stick with their platform. Xbox Live may not have been a reason to switch to WP7, but being on ios definitely makes it easier for those users to stay on their platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Plus Xbox Live users are already exposed to metro through their console so that argument doesn't hold up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Wp7 games already suck this gives iOS 1up on us while their fames are nice along with their ability to see their Xbox live account. Who cares if they can't achieve points on such games
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
They get their points in Game Center. This is just icing on the cake for them. I said the same thing about them releasing Windows Live Messenger and OneNote mobile on iOS.

I'm due for a new phone soon. This will be interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I'm due a new phone since August. Been waiting for a decent Mango phone which never came. Chances are I'll keep my Omnia 7 on the side, upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus and buy an iPad. I'll give it until CES then decide but it seems to me Microsoft is treating iOS better than WP at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Thread is silly. This has been possible with apps on IOS and Android for years. Microsoft just made a official version for IOS.

boohoo they're trying to get more users. You have to understand MS is a Software company first.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pistol44:
And what would have happened if Blackberry made an official BBM app for Apple years ago? Or if Apple had released Siri for Android too? The only difference is WP7 is too new to lose exclusive features, minor or major. 3rd party apps don't count.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
uh, this has never been a exclusive feature. As stated apps have been available for years, get over it. Office, Zune are exclusive.

Software company wants more people to use it's software. Wow, who would've known.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Who didn't see this coming. Ignorance is bliss, I see.

Microsoft released WLM for iOS and made WP7 users wait a year for it while demanding developers like IM+ rip out the WLM functionality months before many users even got Mango.

They also released OneNote, which is literally the only part of Office Mobile that is better than iWorks and third party Android Office Alternatives like DTG, ThinkFree, and QuickOffice.

Then the Bing app with Vision and all that other stuff, and even updates it for other platforms when we have to wait for complete firmware updates to go from MS to OEM to Carrier to us for an update on that stuff.

Still waiting on PhotoSynth for WP7... It's on iOS, though...

Really... Why the suprised looks?

Microsoft is internally fragmented. The different devisions don't work together as well as those in Google and Apple. Google would never release a Maps app on par with the Android version for another platform, but Microsoft has no issues releasing OneNote Mobile, WLM, PhotoSynth, and ridiculously good Bing apps for other platforms. They have pretty much always done this.

The Windows Phone Team does not control what the XBox, Windows Live, and Office Teams do; and the management at Microsoft does not force them to give priority support to their own platforms, either, from the looks of it (looking back years even to Windows Mobile days).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Illicit Hero:
www.xbox.com does the same thing, who cares.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
And you can control your xbox with the controller. Who cares about that app?

Right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Google releases great apps for non-Android devices and they're praised for supporting other companies and are making an attempt to take over the world through superior support and innovation.

Microsoft does it and they're the worst company in the world abandoning their operating system and are heavily fragmented.

Our app still does much more than the iOS app. Would a thread in this tone be created in the Android section if Google released a full-featured Google+ app for Windows Phone? Probably not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Well how about that! 343 has just announced that the Atlas feature for Halo is also coming to iOS and Android!

So much for live functionality being exclusive to Windows Phone!
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
The Verge has it quite right, no other app will give iPhone users such an understanding how simple the Metro UI is. It will be a delight for them :)

The fact that Xbox has got a Metro interface now, plus the release of these Xbox apps will force people to think about the simpleness and beauty of WP7. The more they do, the more they will discuss it with each other, the more who will eventually pick a Windows Phone. Any publicity is good publicity, so stop acting like Apple fanboys please. This is just another move to expand the interest in Metro UI.

If I am into Google, I pick Android. If I am into Apple, I pick iOS. If I am into Xbox, Windows Live, Metro UI, I pick Mango. Why would I for God's sake care how I can view the status of my Xbox Live friends... I can view it everywhere. So the release of this app won't change a damn thing.
