[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
post #2 summed it up perfect. Short and Sweet.

More info and history.

The iPod was not considered competition, since Microsoft was not in that business.

Other than that,

There were countless other mp3 players out there.

Microsoft dominated the operating system market and were making huge money with it and with Microsoft Office and other products. Windows 2003 Server was a strong area of development focus at that time as well, and XP had just recently been released.

That was also the era of Napster and Peer to Peer file sharing. 2001 was when Napster as a "peer to peer" file sharing service ended. It wasn't a true peer to peer which is why they got in trouble. (seperate issue)

The ability to just buy music was not readily available. People were still ripping from CD. Other true peer to peer services were widely used. So the fear in the industry was that people would not buy music if they could get it for free.

Then the iTunes music store happened in 2003 with DRM using the AAC format. People actually bought music when they could buy a song for $0.99 or what ever it was. It was cheaper than buying a CD.

Microsoft noticed. But of course they were not going to use Apple's file format and pay them money. So, they came out with DRM in WMA files. But they did not centralize, which caused grief for anyone who bough music for a store that no longer exists.

Zune kind of solved that since it's Microsoft. And DRM was included in Subscription based music. I believe it also existed in purchased music as well.

Finally in 2009 Apple removed DRM from the iTunes Music.

Not sure when Microsoft removed DRM from purchased music.

But there's some history.

Because they were mainly concerned with software and services for COMPANIES? SQL Server, Exchange, Windows Server, Sharepoint, etc.? Now Office365, Azure, Live services.

Entertainment division was started with Xbox, later Xbox 360.

Apple is producing fashion accessories and runs music shop, Microsoft serious work tools, they are not in the same business.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
Are you on a nightly? Did you check that your vodafone AU APNs are correct?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
I don't think I'm on a nightly,I downloaded from the stable rom section. I'm pretty sure the APN is correct..

How can you check if its correct anyway?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
If you downloaded from stable, it'll be what it'll be.

To check if it's correct, use a vodafone reference. The APN info might be somewhere on the site, or obtained by asking one of their CSRs. You might even have to go as far as asking someone else for their phone and APN info.

That said, if you were fine on other ROMs, it was probably because it was successfully inputted as a preset value.

You (or if the APN was defaulted, someone) may have also made a mistake, check for tiny typos, or accidental spacing, usually at the end of each value, though I doubt the latter would make a difference.

[Motorola Photon 4G] rruss:
Im starting to believe the msl is the key to the domestic sim unlock i went into the Sprint store and asked for my MSL and she said "i cant disclose that info"

And i called and rep told me the same thing AND dont u find it weird that msl reader doesn't work on a rooted photon?? Worked on my evo and evo3d
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
Humm.. I don't know why people have such a hard time to get their MSL number.

All I had to do is chat with a customer service girl and all I said was

"I'm having trouble getting my data to work and I need to reset my data profile but I can't because I don't have the code to enter" (Don't mention MSL right away, maybe that will make things easier for you guys) ((MAYBE))

Then all she said "Yes Mr.***" Let me get your information and I will get right back at you with your code"

As easy as that!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
I have my msl from Sprint and there is a method to get it now. the msl let's you reprogram for another cdma carrier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
No it is not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rruss:
What program do you use
[Motorola Photon 4G] jami1:
MSL or SPC (Master Subsidy Lock or Subsidy Programming Code) is a six digit code carriers like to impose on phones to prevent them from being used on another carrier. Once the code is found, you can change it to a code of your choice and you can write information to the phone such as a new PRL to change carriers.

MSL or SPC doesn't necessarily lock the Sim slot. I believe on this phone the sim slot is locked in the radio iteself. Also one more thing. The MSL SPC on alot of phones is protected in memory. Most HTC's will give you the code .. but MOTO's are different.

There is a method to read the MSL SPC using Radiocomm. The MSL SPC is in HEX and will need to be converted. But once found you will be able to change it.

I was able to flash my bro's mopho to cricket wireless with everything working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Just read this thread using RadioComm instead of MSL Reader which is for HTC phones. Especially the 3rd post in. You will get your MSL easy-peasy, no sweat, no hassles. Worked for me and most others on the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20454992
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
The sim lock is at chip level dude just like how 4G is broken when you unlock (which is at radio level). Moto definitely didn't want anyone in their phones that's not supposed to be there. The reason the MSL reader doesn't work is because its for HTC phones only lol. Has something to do with the way bootloaders are locked. I really wish moto took care of the dev community man and just fully unlock these phones.

So no the MSL is not the key lol! Merry Christmas!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bmohler71:
This is why I love working at Sprint. All I have to do is go into eticket and type the PTN, and the MSID (dec or hex), and then display MSL. I guess membership does have it's privileges... heh
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikedavis120:
On the Motorola triumph fro virgin mobile I got the msl out of the logcat. Use alogcat and make the phone ask for the msl then enter it wrong and check the logcat output. It shows the wrong code I used 000000 and right after it the right code it checks it against. 552455. That might work for you on the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Really? Damn, that's hilariously bad coding (though we aren't complaining).

I just tried this on the photon. It doesn't work. However, I got my MSL by going to the official sprint store and just asking for it. Other people on this forum have also gotten it this way or by calling Sprint technical support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Hmmmm... I love the Photon, and I am going to try tricking a eChat Rep... We'll see...
[Motorola Photon 4G] alisonm04:
MSL for Motorola Photon 4G free and easy

I have seen a lot of different ways to get your MSL code for a Motorola Photon 4G, but there's one way that worked for me. I downloaded the MEID Converter app in the market or playstore. You simply enter your MEID or ESN number, and press the button to calculate. It then lists the date, the esn, then it displays your MSL. I hope this helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JohnH4:
If you still have your original paperwork from when you bought and activated your phone, the msl code should be there. Otherwise, radiocomm works. (It did for me), or call customer service if all else fails.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
try booting into recovery. Hold power and volumes then release power but continue to hold volumes. Give it a minute. When(if) it boots into recovery, then navigate to the "Voodoo" tab and disable everything.(Click on anything enabled). You will boot up normally then.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Its not bricked. A lot of people went through that. Give me a moment to remember or find the solution. Its been awhile since this issue. One question though. Why not try gingerbread?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Ahhh. Airflup remembered it.

it actually went into recovery thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry if concidered spam did search recent threads and no results.

Iv missed a very important call tonight from my work, the call went straight to my answer phone and was only notified with a message saying about new answer phone message, the phone did not ring! This has only happened this once to my knowledge but the significance of the call is huge as I'm on call to attend alarm activations etc over x mas. My phone is at full volume for all notification.

Im on Orange and live in the UK and on Android revolution rom (4.0.2) stock kernal. Maybe the networks are busy as its x mas here I don't know, at the time I of the not getting this call I was playing gta 3 if that makes any odds :confused: and no I did not dis miss the call by accident as I would've definately noticed the call on screen not the game. I had wifi and data on at the time.

Now iv changed to 2g network only and to auto change networks as the phone wants to, although I already live in high signal area.

Would be interested to hear comments, advice or if this has happened to others.

Many thanks and happy x mas xda'ers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The only thing I can think of is maybe your phone dropped cellular connection briefly at the time the call came through :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VipKSM:
Hi Guys,

I'm having a similar problem...

I'm missing/not receiving many calls or text messages and am only alerted to the fact when a contact messages me through Whatsapp to ask why I'm not responding.

Quite often (a few times each day) my signal bar looks like this...

The only way signal returns is if I switch the phone off and then back on, which is a tedious process after having encrypted the phone which takes a couple minutes to get it back 'on'

I previously used a micro-sim (ex iPhone 4 user) and an adapter, the network (o2) suggested that I use a new sim (full size), which they sent to me. This hasn’t cured the problem however.

Is my phone faulty?

[HTC Sensation] simmyspike:
Hi,

I'm having some trouble connecting my sensation with my car. I've just got a BMW with idrive that's fully up to date.

On BMW's website it says the sensation is well supported (defently with address book anyway) and the version tested is 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4).

Everything connects and pairs fine, I can make calls, read emails and SMS but the address book doesn't work. If I watch the address book just after pairing, it all fills in fine (I've got about 200 contacts and they all show up) but after 15-20 seconds they all just dissapear.

I have tried flashing various different ROMs and as far as I can tell HTC Sense seems to be the culprit, cyanogenmod syncs the address book fine but doesn't support SMS or email sync (I'm happy without email but would like SMS)

oddly, flashing to stock 1.45.401.2 doesn't work.

This is my 3rd day of googling and reading forums... im starting to lose to will...

Anyone got any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] simmyspike:
Ah, figured out some more info on this.

If I wipe the phone (stock rom) and enter a normal contact in the phone it syncs with the car no problem, appears and stays forever.

If I then sync the phone with my exchange server, boom, it never works again. unless I delete the exchange account from the phone then un-then-re-pair.... the one contact stored in the phone magically works in the car again.
[HTC Sensation] simmyspike:
Fixed!

It all seemed to be caused by having spaces in the phone numbers. I removed all spaces from my contacts numbers and everything works perfectly now.

Posted the solution here for a sense of completeness. :)
[HTC Sensation] fishsupreme:
What model & year of BMW do you have?

I ask because I have a 2007 335i, and I have not found any way to get contacts to sync with my car using any Sense ROM (including the stock ROM.) I do not sync contacts with Exchange; I only have created-on-phone contacts.

The car would sync perfectly with my old phones (an iPhone and a Nexus One, both stock and CM7), and will sync perfectly with the Sensation if I use an AOSP ROM like CM7, but if I install any Sense ROM, the car only acts as a headset -- I can use it to talk handsfree, but there's no dialing, contact sync, etc. at all.
[HTC Sensation] simmyspike:
Yeah, its a december 2011 320d (e92) with the second gen iDrive.

I'm sure you already have but have you tried removing spaces from phone numbers? or it might be worth double checking it, I know I missed a couple the first time I checked through them.

Past that all I can think is to remove anything unusual from the contacts... categories, labels ect. The notes field seems to be ok, I use that and it hasn't effected the contacts syncing.

OP you need to manually update yourself and yes UnNamed ROM gets updates...if that's what your asking. But the other thing you need to do is go back to the basics of learning what you are doing. The questions your asking are things you should already know if your gonna be Modding/flashing your phone. This is how people brick their phones .. there's more than enough info at your fingertips right here in xda. You just gotta read, and if you don't understand something, ask and read some more!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:
Every time a new ROM is released for unnamed, you need to download it and manually update it. There is no ota.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
If you're lucky your phone will get 1 OTA from AT&T over the lifetime of your phone if you are stock. Custom ROMs, like UnNamed and many others on this forum on the other hand gets goodies pretty much once a week. If you keep up with that ROM's thread, you won't have any issues. You will find that as soon as you have a problem, there is likely a solution in the thread already. The search button should be your best friend. Most people are more than happy to help, unless you are asking them to spoon fed you the solution.
