[HTC Desire S] gjj1056:
Hi,

I am wondering if anyone of you have tried the Capdase Alumor Metal Case for HTC Desire S?

I am really interested in this because it seems to be well built and at least it will have that aluminum feel when I hold my phone while it's still protected. I am concerned though if will it ever affect the phone's signal (network, wifi and GPS).

I haven't found any reviews about this on a Desire S, some phones have different antenna designs and the signal may or may not be affected.

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Desire S] gjj1056:
Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] pcrepair:
From looking at the case it looks like it may cause the wifi signal to be reduced as it covers where the antenna is. It shouldn't affect the GPS signal though.
[HTC Desire S] gjj1056:
Thanks. I guess you could be right. Better stick to the jelly cases then :)

Hi, I'm a big fan of WP7 and I'm finally getting my first device, it was supposed to be a Lumia 800 but I had some issues with the order and considering some personal aspects, I decided to buy the Samsung Focus and wait for the Apollo-designed devices later this year.

I'm preparing everything for the phone (any advice will be appreciated), I linked my live account with Flickr and Facebook, I synced some content to Skydrive and bought a 16gb Markvision class 4 microSD (I didn't find any Markvision microSD in the compatible list so I guess I'll get a random result), something else to have in mind?

Lastly, I have some question regarding the OS and the unlock of the phone: 1. I have experiencie with iOS and the version's structure, and even with Android, but I can't understand the nomenclature in WP7 (I get 7.5 mango and so on but not the 7.10.7720), if someone can explain me a little bit about it or show me a link to some information I'll appreciate it. 2. How can I unlock the phone? (Jailbreak) I found many posts and videos but not sure if the jailbreak works with Mango, or if I can unlock WP7 and update to mango or what process should I make?*

Thank you very much and hope someone can help me! I've already read the samsung focus wiki and many posts in the forum but any link will help! Thanks!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Welcome to the forum!

I suggest you start with reading the Focus wiki, for starters (in my sig). I think the card should be fine, if it doesn't retain data (ie pictures, videos, apps, music) between soft resets (turn off/turn on) then it's not compatible. Most C4 cards should be ok.

Now, for your questions:

1.

7.5 is the "generic" name for the Mango update to WP7 (aka Windows Phone 7). The numbers in 7.10.7720 represent:

7=OS number

10=generation. read more about versions here. Started with 7.0.xxxx and Mango is 7.10.7xxx (similar to Service Pack for Windows, if you prefer).

7720 is the OS (WP7) build/version. Mango RTM starts at 7720 build. Current released build is 8107

2.

To dev unlock (jailbreak) the phone, follow the 1st post in my signature or go here

Good luck using your first WP7 phone, Focus is a really nice phone. And feel free to ask questions :)
[Focus General] Juan994:
Thanks!

Thank you very much!

So the unlock that you mentioned will work even in the last 8107 update?

Other thing I don't like is the customization that AT&T put in the phone, and considering that I won't use ot in the US, its kind of meaningless, is there any way to flash the device to a clean WP7 version and then update it to Mango also free of AT&T things?

Lastly, about the updates, is WP7 like iPhone, so Apple send the update to every phone no matter the carrier or country? Or the carrier define when to update? If is the second option, can we manually force an update? And since I use a Mac, I'm worried if the software for Mac users is able to update the phone or not.

Thanks again and its great to see a big community around WP7!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome.

Yes, WindowBreak project works with the latest 8107 build.

The cleanest stock rom is the Rogers rom. There are a few custom roms as well. You can flash Rogers rom on your AT&T and use it with no problems (I have mine like that).

Updates: MS releases the updates but they are delivered by the carriers. You can manually update, read this thread. If you're on Rogers, you won't have to, though ;)
[Focus General] Juan994:
Question about hardware vesion

Thank you very much! I'm learning a lot! I have a quick question, I guess that the phone that will arrive is version 1.4 (because its from the last ones) so is there any way to put the rogers rom?

If not, I've heard that the best way to "clean" AT&T rom is to delete the preinstalled aaplicationds and activating things like the SMS send/recived check, but I don't know the name and where I can get that app, can you help me with that?

Thank you again for all the information!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome.

For 1.4, you can just remove the apps and enable the SMS delivery notification. The only thing left will be the logo, but that's ok :)

Alternately, you can try a custom ROM for 1.4 but I have to warn you that a very few users had issues being stuck at Samsung logo after flashing custom roms. Vast majority is fine.
[Focus General] Juan994:
Great phone!

Hi,

It took me a long to respond but it's because the phone arrived and it's just amazing!

I installed the 16GB SD card, so far so good, jailbreaked it with windowbreak and playing around with all the amazing features!

The screen is good, although there is a little annoying thing with the tiny grid surrounding the pixels.

Anyways, I'd like to answer a few more things if there is no problem with that!

1. The zune player is great, but the videos I saw showed some kind of integration with Zune marketplace, as I live outside the US, I understand that I can't access the music marketplace, but there is no way to at least see the artist bio or the image of the artist? I saw a topic about this but I didn't found an answer

2. My phone's version is 7.10.7720.68 and zune didn't found any update, is there anyway to force the update to the latest version?

3. How do I install the WP7 Tools and the Samsung Tools?

4. Is there anyway to change the tiles color? I saw a tutorial but I've heard that I doesn't work in mango.

Thank you very much for everything! Sorry to bother too much but this is the best forum to topics related to WP7!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Glad you like the phone, you're not the only one :) It may be a bit obsolete today compared to the new releases but except for the new bling (camera or screen improvements) it performs about the same. Plus you have additional space. You'll get used to the screen, don't worry ;)

1. This one I'll leave for music fans... I'm definitely not an expert in Zune :)

2. As I said earlier, read this thread to manually update (it's recommended)

3. See points 3&4 here (also in my sig)

4. Possible on Mango. Read here and here (lots of themes, Metro is probably closer to what you're asking)

You're welcome! Trust me, you're just starting to see what WP7 can do. Just browse through the threads (ie here), you'll find a lot of interesting things.

If you're a developer, that's even better, you can add, customize and do things your way! ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] bangsters:
Hey guys sup!!!

Anyway, Tmo US is bringing in the HTC One S. Wondering what you guys think about it. Is it worth to switch, or just keep the amaze? I went form htc sensation to htc amaze in 1 month, now i'm not sure if i should do the same and switch to htc one s.....

if it were the htc one x with quad proc then should be a no brainer, but TMO US the way they are argghh, just don't get why they didn't get the htc one x instead....

any thoughts??? Also, I believe the galaxy note is now workable in TMO US, as someone here got it to work with a different radio....
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
I wouldn't, if people think battery life on the amaze sucks, it'll probably be worse on the one s because it has a smaller capacity battery, as for me the upgrades are very nice but not quite worth it to switch from the amaze. I don't like how OEMS are starting to remove the search button, its something i use all the time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
the fact that it has a non removable battery and no expandable memory are the killers for me. hell, i dont like the fact the amaze has an internal sd, but its tolerable
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I agree, too soon to switch. Dev. is picking up and once the release of 'you know what' comes out it'll be a free for all. Nobody is working on 2.3 anymore, its the calm before the storm. I see lots of good things on the next couple of months for the amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
If you don't care about not being able to pull your battery or increase your sdcard storage then upgrade.

Not being able to install a bigger sdcard and not being able to pull the battery are deal breakers for me. 16gb of storage is not enough for me. I'm already past 16gb on my 32gig. Not being able to pull the battery also means you won't be able to replace it with a better extended life one. We all know stock android batteries suck ass.

In my opinion, the one s is not much better than the amaze. Besides sense 4.0 it gots nothing else on the amaze and almost nothing at all when the amaze receives the official ics update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
One series has a kill switch instead of a removable battery (so u can mimick a batt pull, but can't replace a shot battery :eek:) and the no removable/expandable memory is a DEFINITE buzzkill... But it does come with internal storage and that Dropbox hack built in for an extra 23 GB

Either way, I think its ugly and I love my amaze... I'll wait :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
That's a pretty good point about the battery never thought... What if the battery goes bad you have to send your whole phone! Yikes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Sounds like one reason I didn't buy an iPhone... Amongst others
[HTC Amaze 4G] bangsters:
with the One S I understand.... but what if it were the One X with Quad core and 4.7" HD screen?? OR samsung note?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
im personally jumping ship when the galaxy s3 comes out...rumor has it as having a 1080p 4.7 inch screen :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I remember when I got my hero, I upgraded from a touch diamond, and I was blown away at the screen. That's what an upgrade should feel like, I look at my old one and then the new one, and you can definitely tell that there's an improvement. With today's phones, unless you're buying something that's got a 3D projection on it or something beamed straight to your brain, I think trying to top what we've already got is going to be pretty damn hard. 1080P? I can't notice much of a difference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
I think you would notice it on a 4.7 inch screen. Hell, my mytouch has a 3.8 in hdpi screen and I can tell a difference between that phone and my amaze. Maybe you need glasses? ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rush115:
The One S is a lot faster than the amaze.. supposedly ~60% increase clock for clock based on the new "s4" snapdragon. But that probably isn't enough of a reason to jump ship unless you have a lot of money you want to burn. The screen is also kind of weak on the One S. Hopefully tmobile gets a version of the X.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
It has ics and suppose to be faster but can't upgrade the battery or memory i would pass
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I said much of a difference. The current screens are very good nowadays anyway, the differences are miniscule. And I already wear glasses :p

btw, samsung can kiss my ass!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
1080p on a 4.7 screen would be so pointless.. it would also be laggy, much more than 720p. even wvga looks decent on the titan, qhd look good, 720p looks amazing, thats a waste of tech/money lol. just my 2 cents.. most people that have normal human eyes don't notice a difference between 720/1080 unless the screen is around, or above 50"

samsung hasnt released a superamoled plus screen with anything above wvga as of now anyways, i dont see why or how they would jump to 1080p. unless they have been working on something for a quite a while
[HTC Amaze 4G] rasstar:
I don't get why some of you like to drop so much cash on new phones that do the same thing. Talk about wasting money.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
From what I've read on the engadget review, the amaze has a better camera for stills. Plus once ics hops along we should be getting better battery life and performance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
I agree, I had to wait for a tax refund to buy my amaze, had the G2 for a year before getting the amaze and that was only because it was free with a new account. I'll stick with it for awhile now, I love tech but I don't find a need or have the cash to upgrade every 6 months when some l "cutting edge" device comes out.

Once some "other" things happen for amaze it'll be even more of a beast.

Sent from the Morgue!
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I also agree on not wasting money. My mytouch lasted me over a year, before that my 9700 was two years.

I will be sticking with this one for awhile. Least a year. 6 months is to fast, lol!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] PolyDroid:
Low post count, so can't post in the dev thread. I installed cow's rom v7 and had lags after using for some time. Checked the logs and and saw some error that keeps generating. Anybody has the same problem too? Hope to get some answers from cow.

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Make sure zram is off and put governor on ondemand

it will reduce the lag ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Yes. I have experienced the lagging before. Just do as what Rio said, off zram & use ondemand.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mambro:
I've set zram off (and triple buffer on), accepted to give superuser permissions and reboot the phone from the CowPanel. When the phone turns on again I open the CowPanel and I still get "zram on" and "triple buffer off".

Does that mean the changes haven't been applied?

I didn't have any problem changing the governator using No Frills CPU Control instead.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
The easiest way to check it by using Set CPU

Do you have Set CPU app ?

Go to Info > Memory

Take a look for swapcached

If it has 0 kb it mean the cache is off

Isn't there a FREE alternative for that? :)

I just would like to know more about the phone , which ROM can be used, etc...

Unfortunately there's no info about it on the forum :-(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seahorsepip:
It's a mediatek processor powered phone from china running at 650mhz and can be overclocked to 806mhz.

The rom is a cyanogenmod based rom with a lot of features removed (somewhat all of them)

There are no custom roms and there is maybe a clockworkmodrecovery for it but I would have to look that up if you want it.

There are also no themes or customization for it...

But I'm working at porting some well known CM7 themes to mtk6573 phones.

Also if you want to hide the ugly color borders around the connection icons, I have a patch for that.

And rooting can be simply done with superoneclick as on most phones :P

Any more questions?

Oh and I get get it for 83 euro at http://www.lovebargaining.com/star-...a-3g-wifi-gps-dual-sim-cell-phone-p-1972.html if you wonder if it's available cheaper.

Any chance of loading ICS on it? :D

Working on a ICS port for the mtk6573 processor phones(HDC A9100 will be first) but process is going slowly and custom ICS kernel is still failing to boot over here >.>

Maybe when some mtk6575 phones with ICS are released the development will go faster for mtk6573 since I can use that code to base stuff on then ^^

Hi,

After reading almost everything here on this site I still can't install Revolution HD on my TF 101. First it was difficult to get root acces, but now I have root acces, now my external SD card is nowhere to be seen.

When I push volume down and power everything goes well, untill I want to go to my sd card.

On my phone everything went well, but when I have root acces on my phone the text is gold and on my TF101 the text in root acces is blue.

I don't know if this is important but I thought let's mention it anyway.

I really hope somebody can tell me how I can find my sd card with the Revolution HD zip file.

I'm not fully sure myself, but, I believe this depends on the version of clockworkmod you installed. Version 3 supports SDcard install while version 5 does not. I ran into this recently because I like installing roms from my sdcard.

[Defy General] rgadge:
I understand your concern; if I have had red lens I must have uploaded the nandroid.

However, I have a few workarounds for you:

1. Try some different build of the ICS (Try Epsylon's or Quarx's);

2. May be the downloaded ROM file have some issue with it;

3. This time while downloading do not use any download manager;

4. For the dead SD card you try connecting the SD card to your computer using some card reader and use "SD Formatter" software to format it. Just Google the name.

Hope the above information helps!! :)

Hi all,

I've got a slightly strange one here which I wasn't expecting.

My Arc S was on .6, downgraded to .4, rooted, then upgraded to .6 with root still on. So I'm on a stock ROM, and have even removed a ton of unnecessary apps - otherwise, everything is as it should be.

However, where I previously got 2 days out of my Arc S, I'm now getting only about one. As before, I have background data, Wifi, Bluetooth and virtually everything else permanently turned off.

As I'm on a stock rom, and the same one that I was on before I rooted, is this normal and/or expected?

Thanks in advance,
