While my one x is charging, wanted to see if I can find workarounds till root is available for a few things:

Battery percent on status bar (something nice looking but lightweight)

No search button, including assigning long press to an app.

Notification toggles

Using nova, and even in a lot of other apps, missing the menu button. Any suggestions or is anyone else having this issue?

Sure would like to restore some of my app data.. Especially for the few games I have.

Any good and battery friendly lock screen replacement? Last I heard widget locker still wasn't ics compatible.

Any way to block ads on an unrooted phone lol?

Anyone get Google voice working?

Sure was spoiled having root during my entire prior android experience. I've went ahead and got this assuming we'll have root in the not so distant future. Just trying to get by till then. I have a hard time seeing myself with anything else but a htc phone but I'll switch to the s3 if nothing changes by the time its released.. Grr.. sure don't want to.

Ty so much for any help I can get.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Anybody?

As far as Google voice is concerned, still can't get it to take. It changed two of my forwarding numbers but won't switch my voicemail in settings, nor does my call history include my google voice mails.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
As far as google voice, I set it up on the phone and it would not work correctly, so I logged in on the pc and went to settings and it gave me a code to type into the phone and it works now, but in the voicemail settings on the phone it still says my carrier but under call forwarding it has my gv number

I think I had to deactivate it then reactivate it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
hopefully that helps sooth your mind a little.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] warri:
I had this problem... And for now I called up att and had them change my voice mail number to my Google voice number now when people call me it goes to Google voice and although the settings on the phone don't show it the voice app does work
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
I previously used google voice with my inspire. Just seems that some people haven't had issues while some have. Just wondering why
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
was wondering about the GoogVoice issue as well. dude... i cannot freaking wait until we get this thing rooted. so many problems on the software side. it's pretty horrendous imo. there's quite a lot i'd like to tweak.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mywebslave:
Hope this helps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Yes, I've used Apex before. Nova (for me at least on the Inspire) just seemed to be smoother (and I had already paid for the prime version). I might give apex another shot on this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] IdiotSavante:
There is a Google Voice thread on this forum. It worked for me. You have to log in on the computer and use a number. After that it works like a charm regardless of what the VM settings on the phone say.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] howsleyd:
Yeah I made a thread about the notification toggles. Its a pretty nice little app.

You can even put your most used apps in the drop down if you want.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
I'm using that. Pretty nice and does what I wanted. Hate running an extra app though but not much choice right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] howsleyd:
Yeah it kind of stinks having to run another app but it is very customizable which is very nice. You can even make more than one toggle bar if you want to.

Essentially What's wrong:

My phone is stuck in a boot loop, computers won't recognize the usb connection, and my sd card won't mount. My SD card is, however, recognizable if I plug it directly to my computer using an adapter.

What Happened:

I rooted my phone using CWM and Odin in order to remove bloatware and enable tethering. After enabling tethering, my computer stopped recognizing my phone. I tried everything to fix it including factory resetting my phone, formatting cache, data, system, and sd card all under the CWM boot menu (hold volup+home+power). Soon afterwards, my phone got stuck in a boot loop. On startup, it hangs on the white "Samsung" logo. While trying to fix the issue, I noticed that my sd card won't mount.

What I've tried:

I've tried this method, but it requires that I either have usb access or access to my phone. I've tried reinstalling the Samsung driver fifteen times. I've tried formatting the SD card in my computer. I've tried using different computers. I've tried using different usb cords. I've tried clearing the registry on my computer, I've tried scouring Google and these forums for a solution. Maybe I'm blind and missed something.

What I'm trying to do:

The way I see it, I need to figure out a way to flash the stock rom back to my phone. In order to do this, I need to get my usb to recognize. If I can do this, the rest is easy. Does anyone has any ideas on what can be done?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mromblad:
The phone not connecting: I have had this issue before. If you go into the device manager on the computer and show all devices, you can remove all the samsung usb drivers and the root usb drivers from the computer. Reboot the computer and leave the phone unplugged. it will reinstall the main drivers. reboot the phone and hold the buttons to enter recovery, it should still work even while stuck on samsung logo. connect the phone to pc and it should reinstall the drivers and connect properly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cerei:
Do you remember at all the name of the drivers that need to be uninstalled? When I plug in my Droid Charge, the computer attempts to install the drivers but it always fails. Under device manager I will then see "unknown deviced" labeled with a yellow exclamation mark. I uninstall that, then plug the phone back in but the same error occurs.

If there are other drivers that I need to uninstall, then I don't know what they're called. None of the devices in the manager say anything referring to samsung.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mromblad:
go to device manager and choose: view >> show hidden devices

then under the usb drivers look for and uninstall the SAMSUNG if any and uninstall the : Generic USB Hub if any, and uninstall USB Root Hub if any, and reboot computer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cerei:
THANK YOU

How don't know how I managed to miss this when trying to fix this over the past week+, but it worked. Getting rid of those root usb devices got my computer to recognize my phone, then I was able to easily use Odin to boot it back to the stock rom. Thank you so much. Crazy how such a simple solution can be the answer.

Hey all,

I didn't see a thread for this already and I can't figure it out. I'm able, after a VERY long delay, to see all the folders on the internal storage when I connect to my computer and mount as disk. But it's nearly impossible to navigate around, copy, or delete folders. The operations always timeout and Windows gives the error "semaphore timeout period has expired".

I've tried uninstalling any old drivers and installing the HTC drivers I found on here, but that didn't seem to help. Any idea what's going on?

This is a discussion thread for Birthdays Diary, one of my Windows Phone apps. I hope you'll like it.

Screenshots:

Demo video: here

Official Facebook Page: here

Description:

Birthdays Diary is a great free app for browsing and managing your friends' birthdays.

You can easily see birthdays coming soon or find the birthday of a particular friend.

Birthdays Diary features a nice, customizable live tile, allowing you to peek at coming birthdays from your home screen.

Other features include:

browse birthdays by month, week or day

see additional data, like age and zodiac sign

hide birthdays you are not interested in

greet your friends from within the app

Facebook integration

User reactions.

Currently the app reads birthdays from Facebook and from the phone. It is not possible to add custom birthdays in the app. This will be available in the next version.

Version history:

Version 1.1

[Improved] User interface improvements

[Fixed] Birthdays displayed one day earlier in certain time zones

Discussions.

I welcome any feature requests, bug reports or just random thoughts.

Thank you and take care.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Gorki247:
I do like this app, but there are currently two issues that stop me from getting it.

a) Duplicate entries. In the case where a local contact is also on FB, it creates two entries. I know there is an option to hide one of these, but this also means you lose half of the contact details. It should be possible to merge these, no?

But more importantly

b) Ads and I'm not talking about the banner ads (although would prefer an ad-free version - paid for, of course). The issue is the added icons linking back to your other apps. Fair enough if these were in the about page or something, but remove them from the menus. It just ruins the clean look of an otherwise excellent app.

If you made a fully ad-free version and found a way to deal with linked contacts, I'd be more than happy to pay for this app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
First of all, thank you for the feedback.

About A, the duplicate entries. I think it is currently not possible for third party apps to get the linked contacts in Windows Phone. Even if you linked two or more contacts there is no way for a developer to find out they are linked. Please someone correct me if I am wrong here(I hope I am).

About B, the color icons in the app bar. I am sorry they annoy you. I believe this is a less annoying way to promote my other apps. It is just an icon. But you are correct, they should be limited somehow, not showing so much and maybe only in certain screens. Point taken.

Once the app becomes mature I will release a paid version without ads.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Petulinek:
Nice app, duplicate contacts can be hidden, its fantastic.

But - stupid adds on bottom page, some strange buttons.

I'd rather pay some money than annoying adds...

So, now its unusable for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Gorki247:
I've seen some apps that pull data from Facebook and Windows Live; merging it into one contact. However, I believe this is done by comparing the name and probably depends on it being exactly the same. Having thought about it a bit more, I think your solution of being able to hide one is actually quite a nice way of dealing with it; plus it has the added advantage of being able to hide those birthdays you're not necessarily interested in.

It would be great if you released a paid version. Keep us posted if you do, as I really like the app and would definitely buy an ad-free release.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Sorry you see it that way. But that's how life is - free apps come with ads. I tried to make ads unobtrusive and looking nice, but it is only possible to some extent.

About the color icons in the menu: they were not color at first, but then they looked similar to the other icons and you expect them to do something related to the current screen, which I think is worse. I decided to make them color - they look nice, different and you always know what they do. This is for the black theme. If you are using white theme, they look the same as other icons (black). There is nothing I can do about that.

As I wrote, once the app matures I will release a paid version. I just want it to be perfect if I am going to take people's money for it, this is why I am waiting a bit. Also, I will make the color ad icons in the app bar appear less often and in fewer places, as I promised Gorki247.

Thank you for understanding.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Yes, it is possible to merge contacts by comparing the name, However, I think the name is rarely exactly the same in Facebook and in the phone(Windows Live). The main reason is that in Facebook your friend normally writes his real name while in the phone you write whatever name you know him by (maybe a nickname or just the first name).

I have an idea on how it might be possible to merge contacts but I am not sure it will work. I will try it for one of the next versions and will let you know if it works or not.

Thank you for the feedback and for understanding the problem, it's always good to have a constructive discussion. This really helps me make Birthdays Diary a better app.

I will definitely announce it here when I release a paid version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
New version released!

The next version of Birthdays Diary is now available in the marketplace! I hope you'll like it! You can download it from here.

The inbuilt windows phone calendar does a great job in syncing and reminding all the birthdays of your windows live,fb contacts. But this a nice app as well.

Very nice app!

it's the most fluid birthdays app I tryed.

I just miss the possibility of notifications like reminders.

Apart from that it's very good.

Hi eltonada,

I am glad you like the app!

Reminders are definitely coming in one of the next versions. I am currently thinking on the best way to implement them.

Here is our detailed review we did for our Readers http://www.wpxbox.com/birthdays-diary-facebook/

It includes a video and suggestions for the app. Thanks for making such a brilliant app for Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Great review, thank you!

Also, I really appreciate the suggestions, they definitely make sense. Since this is the official forum thread, I will write a few comments:

Suggestion 1: improving responsiveness.

I am trying to improve responsiveness all the time, but there is always more to be desired. Also, it is different on different phones. For example, it works great on Lumia 800 with its 1.4 GHz processor. It works fine on the Omnia 7, but not as fast as on the Nokia. I guess it would be worse on the Lumia 610, but I do not have such a phone yet.

Suggestion 2: pin individual user as live tile.

This is definitely doable, but you can also pin a user from contacts. You can also post on his wall from there. I am not sure what can I do to make it better. Please let me know if you have something in mind.

Suggestion 3: integrate Facebook Contacts with Contacts on the phone.

I am already working on this. This was an idea since the first version but I never had the time to do it. It is not very easy, you can read my earlier posts in this thread for more info on that topic.

Suggestion 4: Pull in last status update for the Facebook contact.

This is also doable. I am also thinking about other ways to integrate Facebook. For example, maybe it would be nice to see who else wrote on your friend's wall for his birthday.

Let me know if you have other suggestions or anything else you want to share about the app. I will be happy to discuss it.

Hello everyone,

Version 1.3 is now available worldwide. It is mostly a bugfix release, here are the changes:

[New] Introduced a setting to disable category-based background color for the live tile

[Improved] Spell check is now enabled for Name and Description fields (when adding custom anniversary)

[Fixed] Minor Facebook integration issues were fixed

[Fixed] "Single birthday" mode for the live tile now works correctly

Another update is coming soon, it will include support for three new languages: Portuguese(Portugal), Portuguese(Brazil) and Dutch.

I would appreciate your help with translating the app to other languages as well. If you want to help, just let me know and I will send you the files. It should take no more than 2-3 hours if you are fluent with the language.

Thank you, I hope you like the new version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Paid version released

A paid, ad-free version of Birthdays Diary is now available. You can get it from here: http://bit.ly/Krfrvr

The paid version is exactly the same as the free version, except it does not show ads at the bottom of the screen.

Please note, that the paid version uses different storage than the free version. This means you will lose any settings or custom anniversaries you have entered. This is a limitation of Windows Phone, one app cannot access the storage of another. I am planning to introduce SkyDrive integration and the ability to back up and synchronize data there, but this is not yet available.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Gorki247:
Thanks ldokov. I noticed the paid version today and bought it immediately based on my experience with the free version. This is the best Birthday app out there, IMHO. Works really well on my Lumia 800. Great job!

Personally, I also love the fact that we can add other anniversaries and set the live tile to use the relevant colour. It's a really useful feature.

Edit: Just noticed that with adding a custom birthday, the 'year is unknown/does not matter' option doesn't seem to do anything; i.e. the entry will still show a birth year even if this box has been ticked (unless I'm missing something).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Hi Gorki247,

I am glad you like the app!

Indeed, I just tested it and it is a bug. Even if you check that the year is unknown, it still shows you the selected year. This will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for reporting it. :good:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ldokov:
Hi everyone,

I would like to announce that version 1.4 is now available!

The most significant in it is the support for four new languages: Dutch, Czech, Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil).

Here is the full list of changes:

[New] Four new languages are now available: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch and Czech

[Improved] Live tile: if contact picture is unavailable, contact name is always displayed

[Fixed] The app was crashing sometimes when selecting main or related contact for custom anniversary

[Fixed] Filtering by category was not working properly
