[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Dude,you can't expect that...and it never happens. Due to close relationship of nokia and microsoft,nokia has received billion of dollars from MS to do all those marketing, while other manufacturers have nothing....

again, with WP7, everything is a waiting game...fans can wait, you can wait and even everyone else in this WP7 forum willing to wait...

me and other manufacturers will not wait or not able to wait....a 1 year and half OS in 2012, smooth within itself, slow beyond itself(most third party app),it is kinda dissapointing.

As I mentioned, WP7 itself, is just an unfinished and rush product by MS, it can only grow through the help of Windows 8,if Windows 8 failed,it fails.

Further, I think boot-to-gecko by Mozilla can make bigger splash than WP this year.

As I predicted,this year will be a year of mobile phone entertainment(including game),no longer year of apps anymore(however, wp7 still chasing the apps trend and apps quality and capturing developer)....

Since ipad 3rd gen has been using the similar GPU found in ps vita, iphone 5 would be something bigger and galaxy s3 too...therefore,again,due to the close relationship between qualcomm, WP8 apollo will still be using the krait processor with adreno 225(slower than tegra 3),still no match with the powervr sgx 543mp4(about 2-4 times of tegra 3).You can say that you don't want this,or WP7 does not need this....but developers need this and most consumer in 2012 need this...

Furthermore, due the the nokia and MS relationship, HTC and Samsung,will defnitely find themselves a safety position, for example, Samsung will expand its Bada(Tizen) OS, which is growing constantly and HTC will maybe adopt the boot to gecko or opensourced webOS.

ok, the below will left for fans talk and many some logic critics....
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Lot's of blah blah blah but at the end of the day the main issue with WP7 is not the product or what it will become in future iterations, it's the fact that there has been next to no marketing for it except for the initial rollout.

The blame has to be put in Microsoft's lap, not with anyone else...HTC, Samsung, LG, etc....are pretty much just dumb manufacturers taking other companies efforts (either Windows phone or Anrdoid) and putting it in black rectangular "me too" devices.

Nokia is different as they are committing to only Windows Phone for the future.

Bada is a POS from a software point of view and from a marketing point of view...it's only used with any signifigance in korea...

Nokia and MS created a partnership and money went in both directions...it's overly simplistic(and incorrect) to state that MS gave Nokia billions to go windows phone and this has been discussed ad nauseum...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
agree with you, the blame is to be put on MS lap...

Hi All,

I came to know the EFS folder is very important in Samsung phones. I didn't cared about it and flashed a different region ROM (XEU->OZS). Each thing is working fine.

I can remember that there used to be some files inside the EFS folder when I had the XEU but now i am little bit worried that the EFS folder is empty.

Many threads on XDA recommend to Backup the EFS folder before flashing new ROM. I have noticed that my Product Code has also changed after flashing the new region ROM.

So anybody can give some details that have I missed something important by not backing up the EFS folder ??

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Man.....read this:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/backup-and-restore-your-efs-folder-on-samsung-devices/

Are you able to get your IMEI???

*#06# on dialler

Or settings/about phone/status

Also check MAC address is still there!!

There is a backup option in Nitrality, free from Market.....

And, in the link I posted, there is a link to app on XDA, to backup/restore the /efs folder!!!

Are you using Root Explorer or ES to check the folder???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] alidsd:
Thanks @irishpancake

Currently all the things are working fine. But I came across the EFS related article after I flashed a different region Rom. So I was little bit wondering that Have I done a big mistake ?? thats why i posted here.

all the basband related things are fine including SIM, Wifi, etc. IMEI is also there.

in ES i wasn't enabling Root option that's why I was seeing the blank EFS folder. Now I have copied this folder manually to my PC.

I also tried to backup through Nitrally, it says backup completed, but i am unable to find the backup efs files.

I also tried Win32 (.net) application but due to unavailability of 4.0 framework , it couldn't run.

I noticed one major thing by changing the different region Rom that my product code has been changed. I think it will not have any effect on phone performance/function.

Actually I am in search of best Baseband (Asia) so that the Radio power consumption can be minimized. So I want to try all Asian Roms to check the power consumption in Radio.

Any further suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AntGrant:
So what exactly is the EFS??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
EFS stands for Encrypting File System, which is really important part of networking and communication for Android Smartphones, It also contains your device IMEI data. When installing the Custom ROMs, it is always recommended to backup EFS Data, because these are the places, where you might loose this data and when you lose it, it means you may no longer be able to use your smartphone for communication, ultimately which becomes just a multimedia toy!!

Might be helpful. How to Backup and Restore EFS Data/IMEI on any Samsung Android Phone

If your phone is working fine, there's no need to worry. It's most likely more technical.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Simply copying your EFS folder to your PC is a reasonable idea.....and one which most people would think would work.......

However........

If you had to restore your EFS folder from that copy, it probably *wouldn't* work.....simply because during the copying process, the permissions would have changed, and unless you have detailed knowledge of what the permissions were before copying, they'd all be wrong after re applying........

Your best bet is to do what others have mentioned and use an app to make the backup (and re apply it if necessary). I use HC k tool and then make a copy of the backup it produces on my external microSD card.......
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
Yeah, and i think EFS Professional will do the work on that. :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
You know what is quite clever about this Angry Birds thing.

Not so much that the Note is getting free levels, but the fact that it's currently being demoed exclusively on the galaxy note.

All those Angry birds fans (I'm not one of them) poking around for gameplay videos will "accidentally" now get a subtle galaxy note commercial.

Hi guys!

So, I use my 4G daily and tether my laptop while at work. Today, however, my 4G has kicked the bucket. It is connected, and shows two out of three bars, however the phone itself gets no data from it and so of course my tethered laptop also gets nothing. This is a big issue for me.

I'm running Blazer 4.0.

my 3G is still working (which is how I'm posting this!)

What should I do to solve this?

EDIT

Re-flashed Blazer 4.0 (which I was surprised to find didn't delete my apps or anything. I was expecting it to wipe everything?) and it seems to have cured the issue.

sorry for the waste of forum space!

And is a batch script even possible because of the downgrade issue?

Hello everyone at XDA, Today i have an issue with my Galaxy Ace. I decided to upgrade my Galaxy Ace at version 2.3.4 (Rooted) to this CyanogenMod i found today @http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490867.

So, after placing the custom rom into my sdcard, i booted my phone into recovery mode and pressed the update option. It seemed to update normally. After the installation was completed, the phone rebooted and after the normal Galaxy Ace startup, Instead of the Samsung logo flashing, It showed a word "ANDROID" with spaces in between and in Times New Roman. Then, after 10 minutes, it was still at that same black screen with the "ANDROID". Then, i tried going into recovery mode and i tried to factory reset it, it showed

"E: format_volume : rfs format failed on /dev/stl13

Formatting /cache...

E: format volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl14

Data wipe complete."

The Only Problem you have is that you dont have CWM Recovery Installed on your PHone. You need it for flashing custom ROMs on the phone. Get the latest version in the Forums and flash it via the instructions given.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] saumil25:
If you don't have the CWM recovery zip in your sd card, paste it. (By Card Reader) Or if you've got it, go into recovery mode and just flash that zip. [Install zip - Choose zip - Select]

After which you can flash CM7
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ApriliaM3:
Boot the phone into recovery mode

Flash the CWM file that you said is already on the phone

Reboot the phone into recovery mode again - this time it should load CWM recovery instead of stock Samsung.

Select to do a Factory Reset and repeat again

Select to Clear Cache and repeat again

Go to Advance Menu and select to Clear Dalvik Cache

Return to the Main Menu

Select to install zip from SD Card NOT INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP

Browse to your new ROM and install

Reboot the phone and hopefully it will boot up.

If not, I suggest you go to samfirmware.com and find a stock ROM for your phone and flash it with Odin by following a guide which you can find easily here or on Google... there's even Video Guides on YouTube so you don't have to read anything.
