We are hoping a lot on Apollo, they better make it count.

Btw, they are not live streaming today. But keep your twitter on, Windows 8 Consumer Preview will be available to download soon today.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
You mean there is no way for us to see the talk or announcement at all?

Any live twitter account or blogs? I am so done searching that I might even lose my job. Haven't done a bit in last 3 hours :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
We can track them down from Twitter, Microsoft Twitter is probably the best place to get update...

I don't know, but they have confirmed that they won't livestreaming the event.

PS: try this:

[Windows Phone 7 General] goldenpipes:
where was the windows phone 8 info?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
They just showcased not only the next release, but a whole reworking of their flagship software: Windows 8.

I'm sure they want to give the Windows Phone 8 details at a different time as not to distract from what they were doing on the 29th.

I'd say a couple months from now they will be making at least something known.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
At least we know that Q2 is the time for Tango to be released... This is March already, i think we will have it sometime in may, maybe April... whoknow...

And HTC really promise that they will have an Apollo devices pretty soon, we will have to wait.

BTW, after the Consumer Review, i see Zune has been attached to Windows as Music apps. so it is clear that Microsoft is going to replace the Zune client by Something else and that's mean Windows Phone will use another Software for PC Connection.

A lot of people hate the stock ICS chroma Wallpaper. I mean look at it... it is horrendously washed out. It looks nasty...

So a while ago I edited it because I really liked the concept of it but I felt it needed deeper colors. I posted it in the wallpaper thread hoping to spread it but I still see people complaining about the stock one. So....

Here you go, there are 2 edits one has more of a blur and the green is more pronounced.

Original Edit

Second Blurred One

I'm not sure if anyone can actually see the difference :-P. I am posting both just in case though....

Here's what it looks like with some icons.

Also here's another wallpaper I cropped using Wallpaper Wizadri. Just disable wallpaper scroll and it will be a constant image. And here's what it looks like with icons.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] love.lgv.tx:
Hi All,

I have an AT&T Note. Both phones of course get AT&T's "4G." With both of these phones I have regular issues of data slowing to upwards of 3000ms Ping, speeds around 10-150kbps download, and 10-50kbps upload. How is this possible? It's driving me nuts, because when the damn thing works, it flies, but when it doesn't the speeds are so slow it is pretty much unusable.

EDIT: Also, on my phone the ping is always around 190ish when working well, whereas his is usually around 95. We do not live in an LTE area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sirrdeezy:
Are both on a 4g lte plan u need to go in to a att store cause thats what happen to me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] love.lgv.tx:
I just called, and I do have that plan. Even though I am not in an LTE area, should I have an LTE sim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skywalker311:
I just got my s2 i777 and I love my phone but now I see you can get it online only. The only ones they sale or the skyrocket. Should I stick with this or upgrade while I still have the option. I don't live in a LTE area. Please give me opinion. Thanks.

PS AT&T just put two new towers in my area so I have HSPA+ about 90% of the time.

I'm looking for people that had the i777 and then got the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SupremeOverlord777:
Skywalker, there have been soooo many threads similar to this, so before everyone comes in and flames you, here's my opinion: If you don't live in an LTE area, the Skyrocket essentially has zero pros- yeah, the bigger screen too, but it has lots of other issues (vertical lines I think..). GS2 has Exynos, better devs, closer to I9100....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fcb1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Yeah, before this thread gets nuked, I'll throw in my two cents. The skyrocket will work better if you switch it to T-Mobile (more frequencies in common) and has LTE. But the i777 is a better device in every other way, IMHO. (bigger screen, but same number of pixels in a bigger device)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
this makes me sad. =[
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] royredman:
Has anyone attempted to do this yet?

1. Root your prime (without unlocking it)

2. Flash clockwork recovery (not sure if it will do it or not)

3. backup your primes rom in clockwork

4. reboot and unlock the primes bootloader

5. go into clockwork recovery and wipe data

6. restore previous rom

7. bootloader re-locked?!?!

Im not sure if it will work, but can someone tell me if it world work or not?(I am a noob when it comes to unlocking a phone/tablet)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Lol this will not work.

You could not boot into cwm without an unlocked boot loader(hence the lock on what you can boot) and what your backing up with cwm isnt touching the bootloader stuff, so it could not be restored

With this logic, running a restore would restore to before a point before you even had CWM and thus you would have to reinstall it every time :P

Plus your serial has already been sent to Asus anyway, so why would you want to relock it?

*appropriate 'winning' tag btw
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] di11igaf:
Ok. Completed the steps, bootloader is now relocked.

Woohoo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
The bootloader itself might act like it's locked again, but that doesn't change the fact that your serial has probably been uploaded and logged already as having been unlocked at some point.

Or whatever it's called. You know some apps keep showing up in the battery usage after it has been used once, but not since fully charged. In this case it's sygic navigation, keep showing to have used a third of battery even though the last time I used it was days ago.

I know restart will fix it, but would rather not do that every time I use one of those apps.

Try Matr1x

I can get 2d battery life with ICS and Matr1x kernel and very minimal usage. Get the kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1361477.

For monitoring battery usage, I use https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en.

This was achieved with ICS 4.0.3 (CM), Matr1x kernel 1.5, deep idle enabled, Wheatley governor. Since this, I have updated to Matr1x 17.0 and stopped using deep idle because of instabilities. Battery life is still acceptable but varies day-to-day but is still almost always over 1d.

I noticed that ever since I got the Note, I get a notification when friends check in to a local place. I understand if they tagged me but they didn't.

I use my FB account for business as well so I can't turn off the notification in general. I just want to turn off Check-In that people do.

So how do I do this? I already check the settings on the app and inside facebook.

Hi all,

I just purchased a HTC Wildfire S and was playing around with it.

- I unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev

I read all over the forum that its not possible to install custom roms on [S-On]??

**NOTE THAT IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE!! DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!**

But I found this post that a user successfully installed CMW and rom on [S-On]

Thanks to shaarky's for his Fastboot method, I was able to install CMW and flash custom rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21104317&postcount=76

CM7.2 booted up and seemed to kept root as well!

Not 100% sure if this is truly 100% working.. but will be testing it out in the next few days.

-CMW 5.0.2.6 Installed

-ROM Manager Installed

-CM 7.2.0-RC0-marvel-KANG (2.3.7) / 7.1.0 Stable ROM Installed

I will be writing a guide soon, stay tuned.

P.S. If a Guide already exist, I will gladly delete this thread!.

For Those impatient to wait.. here's a quick steps to what I did to acheive this:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Cause there ain't nuttin better lol, but i dont have lte, if you buy a non lte phone youll have the same speeds anyway. Go for the rocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmxrr:
Because your stuck in a 2 year contract and maybe in those two years LTE will be in your area, so if you buy a non lte phone your screwed either way. Plus, never know, you may move to a LTE area...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SevenSe7enSeven:
I understand the point about being stuck in a contract. I would avoid the contract myself but on the other hand if he knows hes gonna stick with 1 carrier then why not.

Its kinda hard for me to judge this seeing how i have been on LTE for almost a year and it doesnt seem like a big deal to me.

One thing the topic creator should know is the i777 and skyrocket are pretty much different phones so if hes into flashing roms that may make a difference in his decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jnewell05:
Don't, just stick with what you got. Wait till something comes out don't jump on a phone now. In 6 months time you will find something else better and won't be able to get it. Just my opinion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stepheng:
I would wait also there will so many more choices in a few months the s2 you have is probably a better phone if you don't have lte. And there is so much more rom wise to flash for your s2 than the skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
If you're within the return period and you think there's a high likelihood of LTE coming to your city in the next two years, then I would switch (this is what I did).

Otherwise, the i777 is just as good as or better than the Skyrocket (unless you really gotta have that extra 0.2' screen real estate). Other than LTE, the only thing that I liked better about the Skyrocket is that the screen wakes up faster when you press the power button. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same. You should wait until until the Skyrocket HD, Sony Ion, or any other new phone coming out this year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] niezek:
Just do it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
I've had both and they're pretty much the same phone. Some people say exynos processor and all that other junk....real usage they are the same.

If you think you'll get LTE in the next two years get an LTE phone.

Also..buy it off the market place or Craigslist, screw signing a contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
I started with the 777 and swapped to the 727 25 days into the contract when I heard that LTE was coming to KC.

Both are great handsets, but glad to have LTE-- which is rolling out quickly, so if you are in a metro area there is a good chance you will have it in the next year or so.

If you can switch for not much cost I would say do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lart2150:
What phone to go with is going to depend a LOT on where you are. My wife as the 777 and I have the skyrocket. Outside of network they feel like the same phone just mine is a little bigger :D. In Chicago outside of LTE att's data network is beyond slow it takes about a minute to load a webpage on utms or hspa during rush hour. On lte it's just as fast as when I'm on wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alus415:
Keep your S2 if you don't have LTE, trust me it's a better phone, imo I prefer the 4'3 size, the square body,it's lighter too, the processor is definately better I used to have a S2 and switched to skyrocket only cause LTE and I notice the difference a lot but I guess I was willing to trade performance over internet speeds.

Simple if no LTE S2 better, if LTE Skyrocket only if you like speeds, if you ok with H+ speeds (3-6mbps) the the S2 still a better choice.

And at the end of the year it won't matter anyways Iphone5 or S3 will be out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I made the switch from i777 to i727. I would say it is an even trade.

LTE is amazing. If you can get it, it is as good as everyone says. Pings in the 60ms on the average. I've seen up to around 50mbps down. Even when you have weak LTE, you are still getting more than 10mbps. Because of the low pings, it truly feels like wifi. bigger screen is just a tiny bit nicer. But processor is slow. Xvid playback is choppy. 3D games don't run as smooth. Just buttery smoothness you won't get that you got with i777.

I say the i777 is one of the best phones ever made. But lacking LTE. Even though the screen is tiny bit smaller, the i777 is a bit sleeker, more elegant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chingonazo:
Elegant

Lucidmike, more elegant?....not if you have a white skyrocket!...I is just beautiful...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cajuncartfan:
I have the GS2, the Skyrocket, and the Vivid and I don't live in a LTE market and I highly doubt I will get it any time soon. I find that the LTE phones get better service in my area Compared to the HSPA+ phones.

Huh?? u guys r all crazy lol. I'm watching 1080p h264 on my phone with no lag or anything, the rendered your app was using must have sucked. Yes exynos is a superior chipset when compared to snapdragon s3, but that's only at the same frequency. In benchmarks its been proven that the higher clock speed of 1.5 more than makes up for the lack of architecture. Don't just spout off nonsense from other reviewers without doing your own homework

I honestly thought that I would find an answer for this but apparently I truly am "special" or weird in this one. I am brand new to the world of rooting and roms and currently have the latest version of Cleangb running on my epic. Fantastic rom and a giant thanks to any and all involved. One thing that has always driven me crazy about the epic is whenever you lose your signal or regain your signal there is an audible sound. I am sure getting rid of it is as easy as just deleting the audio file for it but I have done some searching through the root directory and cannot find the audio file for it. Does anyone know the location of this file? Also is it safe to delete or does one need to replace it with a blank audio file?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s89281b:
/system/media/audio/ui the file should be in here. i am on cm9 so i cant tell you the exact name of file. i dont like sounds other than ringtone, notification and alarm so i delete the entire ui folder and all unused ringtones etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
I took a look at the CleanGB zip and searched the ui folder and found no sounds there...And an extensive Google search netted the same results. Seems the question has been asked a bunch of times across multiple forums and devices, but no has responded with a clear answer. Maybe one of our devs out here can find the solution. Although I am really starting to think it is possibly built into the ROM framework, instead of just a notification sound...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It has been attempted by our best devs. It is cooked into the TW ROM to where it has never been found.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
I will try just moving the entire ui folder out and see if that does anything and report back. If that doesn't work then yeah hopefully one of the devs can clarify if it is built into the rom. Thanks for the posts everyone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
And then throw on an AOSP ROM like CM7 and problem solved.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
I would like to try CM7 at some point but I am a little apprehensive about it at the moment. What led me to root and put a new rom on was how disgusted I was with the constant freezing of stock. CleanGB appeared to look the most stable of any out there. Since I use easytether a lot I liked that the mobile hotspot was also unlocked. Correct me if I am wrong but CM7 does have some tethering issues does it not? It just seemed like there were a few more issues associated with it than CleanGB at this point. I am open to convincing though!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Somehow I missed your reply. That clear it up quite a bit though. My only question though is CleanGB is based of of GB and not TW so does that mean he just cooked it into the GB rom as well?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
CleanGB is based off TW stock. It's not AOSP Gingerbread, it just has the TW apps removed.
