""We certainly do, in the context of this agreement," Greene said, "have the right to manipulate the UX, the UI, etc."

This led some to believe that Nokia has the ability to create a custom skin for Windows Phone, but this is not true. A spokesman for Microsoft's Window Phone team confirmed to Crave this week what we were told from the very beginning--that like the rest of the handset manufacturers, Nokia can only customize the OS through hubs and applications, and making any changes to the actual UI is not allowed."
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
The question remains, who is right? You can't take either persons' word. Would need to see the actually contract that was signed to see who is right. So, what can be said is Nokia may or may not have this right, which remains to be seen.

I still tend to believe they do as why else would they have tools to edit the UIX/UIB files to create this mock-up shown. MS wouldn't just give those tools to just anyone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I can agree with that. No one knows, and they haven't actually modified anything.

Its just that, a mock up. Nothing more, and it was made in spare time as a side project.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I would assume that Nokia do have the right to edit the UI, they have been given some higher permissions than other OEMs and Microsoft would have offered them quite a bit to make the jump (they've been trying to persuade nokia to get on the Windows hype since Windows Mobile 6.0).

I wouldn't think of anything as drastic in this thread though... I do see it likely that they change the font to Nokia Pure and small tweaks like that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
If Nokia's change that to the interface.... I would not buy one...

One you said "she" I was going to say...Oh there's your problem but, I figured I would get in trouble for a comment like that...sorry if anyone took offence...

but, Man, that UI is bad....
[Windows Phone 7 General] deepra:
Hope Nokia does not go about skinning WP7. It would lead to same problems as major Android skinners - Samsung and HTC - phones.

We have to wait for ICS for 5 months because HTC has to develop a new version of Sense..

[Windows Phone 7 General] Martee2:
That design looks great!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
this "new" style was just a concept of the designer, which is working for nokia, but not working on the UI itself. that like i work on the messaging hub, but have made some concept for the games hub, that not my terrain, and thats only a concept how the designer would like it. but microsoft dont like it :) i personaly think it is to feminine. metro is metrosexual, for men and women.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Master Devwi:
I'm not a big fan of this concept. I really like Windows Phone's simplicity and usability.

Nokia does have the power to modify the Windows Phone OS in ways that other manufacturers cannot (it's one of the perks of Nokia's close relationship with Microsoft), but they haven't taken advantage of this yet. And I, for one, am glad. Hopefully any changes Nokia makes in the future are relatively minor and/or beneficial to the Windows Phone OS (across all manufacturers) as a whole.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
yeah you are right, but who knows, maybe Nokia has done something but we don't "see" it as Nokia's advance. We see it as Microsoft's. that's the magic about metro, everybody can change it but in the end everything looks right! (if you follow the guidance of the metro style!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] shardnet:
I was actually under the impression that nokia does not have a right or option to customise the UI. They merely have an ability to cook in their apps better than some other carriers.

Plus from a long term experience with OEM's absolutely messing UIs on phones (xperia being a perfect example), what's happening with android now, and the standards of showelware and crudware not to mention overarching branding that we get to see on laptops even today I'd only be happy if OEM's do not get an option to change anything at all.

It's actually the one thing that worries me about Tango overall.
[HTC EVO 3D] zanekills:
Earlier this month, I was facing a lot of trouble with lockup and boot loops.

I have ran custom kernels, software enhancement, and ROMs. I tried apps like WakeLock and SleepLocker (they disable deep sleep, which potentially DRAINS your battery). I even tried to revert to stock for a bit, but even then the disease of the SOD (sleep of death) was present. I was about to go through all the trouble to exchange it with the Sprint Store.

The XDA community has done a lot for me, so here's my way to give in return.

My solution was revert to stock (..651.2) and update to (..651.5) with the BASEBAND UPDATE..

There are many ways to upgrade your radio (baseband), if you have S-Off simple flash the radio through hBoot, but if you're like most of us, and you have hBoot 1.5 like me, the process is a bit harder.

STEPS:

1. BACKUP with Nandroid

2. Go back to stock using PG86IMG.zip (Everyone has luck with different downloads)

3. Run all system updates (Systems > System Updates > HTC software update)

4.Re-unlock using HTC-Dev

4. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP)

5.Restore nandroid

6. Enjoy your bug-free phone!

[HTC EVO 3D] BreatheHT:
Yep radio sometimes cause weird problems
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Man ,I have been going through both of these problems since I got this phone. I really hate having the phone lock up when it is asleep in my pocket. I didn't do the downgrade I just flashed the latest radios and firmware again and i think that fixed it .but if not ill follow your guide to a T.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
You would think someone is testing the radio updates before its released....
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
So I have s off. Where would I find the zips for the radio updates?
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Well its not hard to find at all with a tiny bit of searching, but I'll bite and go ahead and tell you where to look since that's what a community does.

Go look in the Development Section under the "Roll Up Sticky" thread and you'll find what you seek.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Sorry I guess I failed to explain my reasoning. I promise im not above searching for things and I did. I also found a few zips that could have been the ones the OP used.

I was just asking for a link to confirm which firmware/radio zips he used because I still had problems after using the one I found.

But thanks for explaining
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
My guess is something went wrong when people did the latest update. Which would cause you issues could be hardware issues...... I never had issues on stock rom unrooted or anything stock wise...

You shouldn't need to go to a backup to fix things... If you updated righ it should work :D

So yesterday the Sensation had its kernel source code released by HTC. Feels like our device is the only one left out now.

This news makes me feel a bit jealous, and should give us even more reason to spam T-Mobile / HTC till they at the very least leak a beta version of our devices ICS kernel source code.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This was awesome news to find on my few minutes for a smoke break - we can definitely use a lot of it to update our new kernel source for better ICS compatibility.

Even though we get left out of a lot directly, much of the sensation stuff is close to plug and play, so my self-imposed gingerbread limitation probably should be re-evaluated.

Thanks for passing the news on, can't wait to get some dev time again!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sir Madrigal:
I recently flashed to AOSPStyleXfinal and I have really liked it thus far however my mic does not work consistently and I am forced to use a headset in order for people to hear me.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is?

Is this a common issue with this Rom? Anyone else experiencing the same issues?

I can live with the issue but I would prefer that the phone worked 100%

Firmware 2.3.7

Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc2+

Build Number: AOSPStyle x

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Have you made a backup, then tried either a factory reset or the 1-click gremlin remover to see if it helps? What if you were to flash back to stock to see if the problem persists? I'm just wondering if it's a coincidence that your mic is intermittent vs. an issue with the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] thereddog:
I've decided that I no longer want to pay for text messaging, since apps can replicate the function.

Essentially what I want to do is, drop text messaging, and use Voxer instead. But I also want to be able to text the few friends that don't have a smartphone. This is where I think Google Voice can help.

I'd also like to get a new number, since my current is from my old home (I've moved). Is it possible to get a new number, but port my current to Google Voice in order to still receive and send texts to dumbphone friends without having to give out a new number? I can set up call forwarding too, so that I don't have to tell anyone my new number, but people can still call and text me.

Can this be done? If not, what are some other options I could be overlooking? I can't simply port my number to Google and go from there, my contract will be terminated. I'm grandfathered into unlimited data, which I want to hold onto as long as possible.
[Galaxy Tab General] alexgogan:
Had two damaged screen's bought replacement on eBay and both were perfect but the tools that come with them are cheap crap so don't rely on them especially the scraping tool

You need a tri wing screw driver and most importantly that saw on no forums or videos a heat gun. Bought mine for 14 and did the job perfectly as long as it goes to 500c or 1030f you should be fine.

Remove sd and sim card first

STEP ONE

Remove the screw covers on either side of the speakers, compass or paper clip will do the job, them with tri wing unscrew the two screws an put in box, careful they are tricky little feckers and you could be searching on the ground for awihle.

Step two

With the cheap crap tool that they supply a few use them All after they break to remove the seal around the edge of the screen and the case, start at v the bottom and careful of the volume rocker buttons.

Then keep on going around till there is give on all sides, then reverse the tool and pry then casing away. After a few moments of fiddling get small flat head or small spatula to pry more. Then it should lift of with help.

STEP THREE

There is seven screws and six clips to remove and the videos on you tube are excellent help here and removing battery and mother board which is all nice and easy.

But the hard bit is taking the screen off, don't even bother attempting this with out a heat gun that doesn't come close to temp above, no point this glue is brilliant.

With the gun you move around the edges for good few moments two maybe three mins then with spatula gently stick between the black glue v screen and the grey casing, you have to be careful as this gets hot after the gun and you don't want to push the spatula to much cause you could damage the digitizer.

After wrestling for another few mins it comes of. First one I did was real messy, but the second just used heat gun for another twenty thirty seconds in stubborn areas then it was fine.

Once the screen was removed make sure the glue tape is removed from the casing and let it cool down for few mins then apply the new one, I positioned it between my thumbs and bottom of the screen both times and had no issue's.

Then reverse the process and have brand new device
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Shadowblight:
Aight, so I have a Nook 16gb tablet on the way to my house, but before it gets here, I'm hoping to get stuff set up so all that I have to do is copy.

I am following instructions from Albert Wertz' thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528625

But I wanted to be sure, and cannot ask in the thread itself since I'm new here, so I'm HOPING someone can answer this if he doesn't see it himself: to clarify, is this method rooting the device softly with SD card only, or is it rooting it hard into the tablet's drive with the ability to restore via the Recovery Rom? Generally speaking, it sounds safer to me to not internally root the thing, especially if for some reason it manages to get updated from B&N and starts bricking rooted devices, but maybe I'm a bit paranoid in my unfamiliarity on how those things work.

Secondly then, specific to the CM7 linked there, is he implying I should use the internal install? I'm assuming if the answer is that it's rooting hard, it's implied that I should, but again, just trying to make this transparent as possible.

Also... most forums have a sticky post for people who are new coming in with some tutorial information... has xda not really considered doing the same? It took me actually a couple hours of poking around to find even that thread and understand at least in general what it was trying to say.

[Windows 8 General] ChrisKringel:
Hello everybody,

I thought I should give Windows 8 a try as well and I can say I do infact like it :) But one Thing that bugs me is the autocorrection. Is it possible, to set the dictionary to two languages? Everytime a write an english text, random words get capitalized when they are recognized as german. I do sometimes Switch to the english Keyboard layout, however there are most of the Special keys different located. Is it possible to use both, the english and german dictionary in the autocorrection feature?

Regards

Chris
[Windows 8 General] __Miguel_:
I had a run-in with this very same problem a couple of weeks ago. In my case, I am Portuguese, but I do write quite a lot of English (as you can plainly see from this very post... lol).

I went about trying to find a way to do exactly as you want. From what I could find out, as of right now your keyboard layout is directly linked with your input language; also, you can't have more than one language per keyboard layout. There is a 1:1 ratio there.

Which, in short, means we're stuck with that odd behavior in Windows 8 (either we keep separate keyboards, memorize multiple keyboard layouts, get auto-corrected for the wrong language or disable spelling altogether - which, quite frankly, I don't even know if it's possible). And I'm not too bad, at least we don't need to capitalize every noun in Portuguese (that has to be a pain in the behind to work through with the spell-check...), we just get A LOT of red underlined words.

I have, however, already submitted a bug report/feature request for that issue. I had to go around and install the Feedback Report Tool for Internet Explorer 10 (if memory serves me right), and navigate a few options, but I could do it. If you can, try and submit it too, there are bound to be quite a lot of people who are in the same boat as ourselves...

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pushtostop:
hi

So u have flashed boot but not rom?

U need to have the rom on your SD .

Turn off phone boot it up and when boot logo appears repeatly press back button (not sure if there's an indicater on that kernel or not)

This should boot cwm when in cwm make a backup

Select backup and restore then backup

When this completes wipe data ,clear cache and advanced clear dalvik cache

now select install zip from SD ,then choose zip from SD,then locate your rom file select it and hit yes when it finishes ,reboot and enjoy

Volume rocker moves up and down

And home or power button selects

If u can't get into cwm u have made a mistake flashing boot so reflash it before the above

Failing this return to stock by flash original fw thru flash tool

Plenty of tuts on that just search

Hope that helps

Try:

1) copy your rom into sdcard.

2) flash your kernel under fastboot mode, then reboot.

3) keep press volumn button while rebooting, it should b under cwm screen.

4) wipe dalvik cache under advance

5) wipe data partition

6) factory reset, then reboot again

7) go into cwm screen again, then choose install zip frm sdcard, choose n run the rom that u copy into sdcard earlier. Reboot again after completed.

8) u shall wait for a while when restarting... Then should b ok....

U may try this, dunno whether work for u not.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutana:
Well I've wanted to make a TV-Out cable for a while. How would I go about doing that? I have a 3.5mm headphone jack, an av cord, and everything else i would probably need.

Could someone tell me which wires go where? Ex, normally right earphone wire would be video, left earphone sound, etc... If someone could give me a diagram, that'd be amazing.

Also, does TV-Out give Mono sound, or stereo? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You probably need to search online for schematics for an MHL adapter, as this is what the Galaxy SII uses. There is a switch behind the USB port that determines what is plugged into the port, and changes the port function appropriately.

MHL will output a digital signal, so if you hope to hook this up to a TV that doesn't have HDMI, you will also need a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) in whatever Frankenstein contraption you are attempting to build.

It's probably easier to just pay the $15-20 to buy a ready-made MHL adapter.

EDIT: sounds like you expect the headphone jack to output video. It doesn't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutana:
LOL oh what, really? I swear I saw on a thread a while back that it kinda worked as an output. Well this is depressing. ;( Guess I'll be either buying one, or tearing apart a spare micro-usb charger i have laying around. Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redct:
The original Galaxy S did analog video output through the headphone jack. The Galaxy S II does HDMI through a MHL adapter and the USB port. (I rather liked the old system myself as I could plug my phone into old TVs... no more!)

Ah, that's probably where I heard it, I had a vibrant a few months ago. :P
