[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7carisfast:
Does anyone know if anything is in the works to allow WP7 to read Outlook email outloud, i.e. Text to Voice?

I thought this would be in WP7 or have an app for it, but can't find any apps and more sadly, not hear of anything coming down the road.

TIA.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
tellme in windows can read texts out loud so the technology is there. It just hasn't been applied to the calendar or outlook app yet. When driving this would be a nice feature. The only time i think i would use it though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donpromillo:
Hi,

perhaps you can find a hint on this here

After reading I thought, that it must be a builtin function on mango at least for short message but because SMS is in message hub, so why it should not read mail messages too?

Regards

Donpromillo
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7carisfast:
In car while driving is exactly the purpose. I would expect this would be used for SMS as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
Is this a issue and I did not get a message from att about throtle speed.

I am running hoilraider v 1.5a. Any solutions ??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Throttled.

Same thing happened to me last week until new billing cycle
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
Never got the message
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtorrez1883:
Same here. I was throttled the last few days of my billing cycle last month but never got a warning or throttle text. I just changed apns til my billing cycle was over.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
no message for me either. Wasn't sure I was throttled until new cycle started, then it became very clear.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjacobsen:
I have a stock phone, 2.3.6 no root, no custom rom. All of a sudden, if I try to send an SMS message in anything but the stock Touchwiz SMS app, the send will fail. Have tried Handcent and GoSMS. Both fail. Resend in the Touchwiz app - no problem. They previously worked as designed. I don't 'think' I changed anything.

Can receive, read and everything in any of the apps...

Ideas? If not, I will probably reset the phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
Try and wipe data in the 3rd party app. It may not be communicating with your RILD properly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjacobsen:
Thanks... Tried that... Removed Handcent and Go SMS. Deleted any named directories I found for those apps. Power cycled the phone... sent a message from the Touchwiz app -- fine... Reinstalled Go SMS - fail... Resend from TW app... goes right through...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
last step would be to reflash modem... if not, wipe data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjacobsen:
Actually (my) last night. I did a few "factory resets" and SD format on my phone to no avail. Even installed GoSMS as the second program after the reset. Same problem. Touchwiz SMS app works fine. 3rd will not send.

I will probably try again today and be sure I am not doing something stupid to reintroduce the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjacobsen:
Solution (I Guess)

Not sure why sending SMS didn't fail altogether. Probably doesn't say much for the carriers in Thailand, but that is a continuing and different story.

Using a couple phones and multiple SIMs, I finally decided to look at the settings on another SIM, same carrier. The SMS Message Center property was not set on mine but had a number in the other SIM on another phone. Adding the number fixed the problem with GoSMS. Not sure why it works in the Touchwiz SMS app without the property, but oh well. Not even sure how I 'lost' it.

Thanks for the help anyway.

any devs jumping ship to the SGSIII when it releases, i saw "leaked" specs today and if thats what they really are, it's gonna be a beast. i was gonna grab the SII but i dont want to if it's just gonna become obselete in a couple months
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
It will be a miracle if the s3 is out in a couple months.
[General Questions and Answers] billydroid:
we got our version of the sgs2 like 4-5mths after its international release. So it its not going to be any time soon.
[General Questions and Answers] avarize:
And when you by the s3 it too will be obsolete in a few months.
[General Questions and Answers] Juls317:
true, i suppose with the delay of US release, buying almost any samsung isnt worth it
[General Questions and Answers] deathknellx:
Sounds like your are inviting them to leave. I find it reprehensible considering I just got here. Please take down this thread (EXIT sign) please!

Just messing around. ha ha!
[General Questions and Answers] Juls317:
i didnt answer my own question, i recieved input that changed my opinion.

and im not inviting devs to leave, i was asking is any had plans to
[General Questions and Answers] deathknellx:
I was kidding.
[General Questions and Answers] PJcastaldo:
It will be a minimum of 6 months to a year for an international version to start to roll out. And over a year for us to see one..
[General Questions and Answers] jessejames111981:
I'm sure it will be released before the end of spring which is way less than 6 months to a year. In the US I'd bet it being here before Christmas

This is more likely

Is the point of this thread only to poach devs?

What value does it have to t989 users?
[General Questions and Answers] Juls317:
im not trying to poach devs, im just trying to see kif it would be better to get the SII or wait for the SIII
[General Questions and Answers] peconaut:
Just buy a phone that you like because there is always going to be something better of what you have. In the end everything becomes obsolete
[General Questions and Answers] unlvmike:
No actual Dev is going to answer you so just pm them if you want an answer instead of posting a thread that is irrelevant since SGS3 doesn't even exist or been announced .

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[General Questions and Answers] jRi0T68:
The SIII hasn't even been officially announced yet. No release dates. No confirmed specs. Its existence is barely more than rumor. How can anyone speculate who will leave, who won't, and when?

Hell, look at the Vibrant... It's development is now getting better than ever.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
My Prime has developed a small bright spot in the center of the screen. It's only visible on white or light pages. I didn't drop the tablet or anything, it just appeared. Anyone else experience this?

EDIT: Here's a link showing a laptop with similar looking spots. The one on my Prime is much smaller than any of these, but it's a similar looking mark. I tried getting a picture of mine, but had trouble doing so.

http://pics.livejournal.com/laptop_mechanic/pic/000p062e

EDIT2: I've learned that the defect I'm talking about is called "mura," or "clouding."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] federer:
I have 4 of those spots.. three are within one inch and one of them is at least 3 pixels. I also have poor wifi, so I want to kill two birds with one stone. as soon Asus has a fix for the wifi I will rma..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
I have the exact same "brighter" spot at lower center of the screen, don't remember it being there when I first got it... it's very annoying, I think I will send it back for repair. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
My friend's first prime had that on his screen (2 white dots) when he bought it only visible on a white screen. He returned it for a new one. Thats why its important to check for those too when you first get your prime and put it through inspection, Just open up the notepad like app, that one has a white screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s1lenz:
got one too. need to send it back for repair, just been too lazy to do it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Read somewhere that those are stuck pixels. There's an app in the market that's suppose to fix stuck pixels as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
I ran those screen fixing apps all night but non fix the problem :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I'm 100% certain the spot wasn't there when I first got the tablet, as I did a very close inspection of it. Actually, I was reading through a thread in an iPad forum and there were reports of spots like this showing up on some iPads after a while.

Thanks, but this is different than a stuck pixel, which I also have (I found the stuck pixel when I first got the tablet, but it's so unnoticeable 99% of the time that it doesn't bother me). The link below shows similar looking bright spots on a laptop (the spot I have is much smaller than any of these, but it's the same type of spot).

http://pics.livejournal.com/laptop_mechanic/pic/000p062e
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smrsxn:
same story here. my prime has 5 bright spots (hot pixel) as well. i did not notice them when i got prime last year. pixel fixer can't fix these either. i can live with these spots though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Botloos:
I have the same problem, 1 bright pixel just below the home screen indicator.

It doesnt bother me that much, its the only problem i have with my prime and knowing theres lots of people with more problems im not gonna return it for a new one, having the chance to get one worse than i had...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
My phone had the same thing when I first received it (still does), but it was my understanding it was a "hot spot" created by adhesive or undue pressure in manufacturing. It's not stuck/dead pixels, in my case at least, and my Prime has no such spots.

I however don't know what would cause something like this over time. Seems to me something in the screen is poorly manufactured and overheating...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
Sent mine back and was told by Asus that the white spot is a kind of light bleed that caused by pressure at the area, they will replace the panel for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shredda:
I've noticed that mine has a few white spots similar to who you guys are describing. Mine has two about an inch apart from each other near the lower left-middle of the screen, and another near the right hand side of the screen. I don't notice it when other colours are present, but on a white/light surface, it can get very annoying. I'm thinking I might call ASUS and see if I can get it RMA'd since it has other problems as well. The WiFI is actually pretty ok, but GPS is a total bust. I don't really care about the GPS that much, but it might be what I need to send this in. I'm just worried the white spots will get worse with time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
After reading up on this a little more, the name for the white spots we're talking about is "mura" (google "LCD mura" and you'll get some hits). It looks like it's somewhat common on cheaper displays.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zoro25:
Also have this appearing on mine and also didn't have it before.

I have only noticed it in the last week since I installed the latest update.

I only really notice it on the XDA site.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shredda:
In my case it's definitely not mura (clouding), but more like pressure spots or pinpoints (usually 2-3 pixels in size.) They are more distinctive in shape than clouding. Either way, sucks for any of us to get these kind of issues. I've actually got an RMA # for mine and will be sending it out either tonight or tomorrow whenever I get a chance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] youngnex:
this can be mura, spots, poinpoints or w/e

i can tell you another one..... so i was working very hard on many several things on my tfp.... sending emails, writing proposals, getting images, working on ideas ect.

I started to get annoyed on how fast the tfp goes to sleep, so i decided to put it to Never. So it never went to sleep and it was awesome because my concentration kept going and i was jumping from my laptop to my tfp back to my laptop ect.

THEN.... i decided to go to sleep and i left my tfp opened connected while it was charging. I completely FORGOT that i had disabled tfp from sleeping. So it sat on the Home screen of my launcher.

When i woke up several hours later, i started to use my tfp and i noticed there was a white area that on every screen it was still there.

It was the outline of the icons! This is the reason why screensavers we're created so this wouldnt happen. This is an excerpt from our trusty wikipedia: (btw, apparently this isnt suppose to happen in lcd's but i assure you it happened to me on my tfp, its not that bad though, as i barely see it sometimes)

So, let me ask you this OP, did you by any chance leave your tfp on for a long time with something on the screen? and the glow that you have now resembles that image/icon/object you had on the tfp?

If that happened to anyone, hit the thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Nope. I can say with 100% confidence that I didn't leave anything displayed on the screen that could have caused this. The spot is very small, and is just a little random blotch that doesn't resemble any type of image/icon/object. I've tried taking a picture of it with the camera on my smartphone, but I get those vertical bars that you get when taking a picture of a computer monitor and it's hard to make anything out in the picture as a result. Would using a regular camera allow me to get a good picture? If so, I'll see if I can borrow one and post a pic.

Also, the spot wasn't there when I first got my Prime, and it appeared after about a month.

As of now, I've decided against RMAing it, as (1) I'm afraid of getting back another unit with one of the other myriad of TFP problems, and (2) I don't feel like being without my Prime for 4-6 weeks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Add 1 to the of people with the pinpoint brightness issue, mine showed up after about a month of use.

I am also waiting to RMA or exchange at BestBuy once he seem to have all of the issues worked out since I have one of the relatively good ones now and don't want a broken one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] VillainousVivi:
I've had a few android phones, but so far I have not run into this issue with any of them. I am running stock + root (though the issue was happening before root) and every once in a while I'll notice an icon is missing from one of my home screens.

Typically, it's been my Scrabble icon that goes missing. Sometimes it will be TouchDown or Words With Friends that disappear, or it will be a widget. Has anyone encountered this?

I've tried doing a reset of the phone, but still run into the same thing after a few days. I have checked to make sure that an update was not done to the app, turned off auto-updates for any of the affected programs that I've noticed so far, but still I find that the icon disappears.

I'd appreciate any input as to a way to find out when/how the icon was deleted from the screen. Since I'm the only one that uses my phone, I don't think it's being dropped accidentally by someone else. I do know that I have used an app's icon before going to bed, but when I wake up the next day, it or one of the others that was there is gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Have you moved any of these apps to the SD card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] VillainousVivi:
Nope, not running anything from the SD card. I use it mainly for moving music and the occassional movie between two different devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
That was happening to me too on stock 2.3.6 but after I flashed sky ics ROM it fixed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
it has happened on every single rom. including skyics....skyics does it the least out of any ROM I've used...but it still does it...i have 155 apps installed...every other reboot I end up with 150 or less....

and I could reboot again...and lose more apps...i have to reinstall them...sometimes they will all come back after a reboot

NONE are moved to SD, default install location.

this is the only droid that has done that...it's really weird.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsage:
Please help if you can, would really appreciate, dont know how to unbick my totally F$$$$### Nexus S Phone.

Even in recovery/fastboot mode on my Nexus S (Vol up+power), I cannot get my system to recognize the device....in fact, even in Windows, I am not able to get the system to recognize my device in Recovery mode/Fastboot mode....the only way it will recognize the device is if it is turned on the normal way, and hangs on the "Google unlocked icon" screen.

Some background info:

My power button recently stopped working...I thought it had to do with the fact that I updated NexusTools (was running a CyberGR rom...cant remember the name...had V4 Ultimate in it (downloaded from Rom Manager)).

So what I did was download/install (from the same developer) their hybrid ics rom....that did not brick it...but it also did not fix the power button...so after not liking the new rom, and the fact that it didnt fix my power button, I reflashed to the original rom I had installed (wiped everything, including doing a factory reset), and it just hung on "Google unlocked icon"

Now my phone does the following:

- First of all, the only way to power the device up is to plug it in (it automatically turns on and tries to boot without me pressing the non-functional power button)

- If I let it try to boot, it infinity hangs on the Google unlocked icon screen

- If I boot into recovery (by holding vol up button and plugging the phone into a power source), it hangs on the recovery screen...meaning the power button, as well as the volume buttons, as well as any buttons are non responsive.

- If I boot into recovery, the device doesnt even register on my system....

What am I doing wrong? What can I do to try and fix this?

I would truly appreciate if anyone reading this has some insights for me.

THANKS!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, sounds like a dead power button(i have one myself).

try going back into your recovery, do a full data wipe(factory reset), then reflash the rom(and gapps). if still nothing, redownload the rom and try again. in your recovery, there is an usb option. use it to transfer your newly downloaded rom from your computer to phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsage:
Once I am in recovery mode it "freezes" though...as in not even the volume buttons work...they worked fine before, and even work to get into recovery mode...but once there they no longer work...nor does connecting the device in recovery mode to my laptop....so im kind of at a loss, as I cant even use Fastboot/adb to wipe/push anything on the Nexus S through my laptop
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im guessing that your using cwm recovery?

give your phone a few smacks on the back near the power button, your phone thinks its being pressed in.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsage:
yes, it definitely thinks it is being pressed in...thats for sure...and makes sense...ill try that haha!

Yes latest CWM Recovery...5.0.2 or something like that...just updated that before phone died...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsage:
Weird...so i "smacked" the phone a bit...when I do it in recovery mode, it reboots the phone into recovery....so it definitely thinks its being pressed down constantly...but I have found no way to make it "un-pressed"...only briefly by smacking it...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
in twrp recovery, theres an option to not use the power button to select(thats what im using), is there a similar option in the newer cwm recovery? tr\y pressing the soft buttons). also, see if sticking a fingernail in between the power button helps, to pull out the button a bit.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsage:
After continuingto smack it...as well as "pulling" on the power button, I am not able to use volume buttons and power buttons within recovery...flashing a new rom now...will let you know if that fixes it...otherwise I will try unbickable in ubuntu again and see if that fixes it :) thanks for the pro-tip of smacking it, haha!
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
I am running the 'stock' HoneyComb from Dell on the 4G US version (Not wifi version). Recently it has been asking me for the SIM unlock code upon waking the device. Normally I can just exit out of it but sometimes I have to reboot the device. Any idea what is causing this? Is my SIM card going bad? Is it a rogue application?

Thanks,
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
I emailed unlockcoderequest@dell.com to see if they had any suggestions. I wonder though since I have a valid/active contract with my carrier if it is a good dea to unlock it?
[Dell Streak 7] Hooride707:
It shouldnt be a problem to have it unlocked.
[Dell Streak 7] cidand1:
send an email to dell : unlockcoderequest@dell.com with your imei number and say you are going out of the country for some months and need to get the unlock code. It only took a couple of hrs to get mine straight from dell.
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Since my device is under contract with my carrier, Dell told me to get it from them. I called them (my carrier) and they are supposed to be sending it to me via email, I was really just wanting to know why my device is suddenly requesting it...?

Is it because of the Dell OS that was not issued by T-Mobile?
[Dell Streak 7] illdill:
Received the unlock code from t-mobile and it unlocked fine. I would still like to know why it was requesting it though...?
