[Windows Phone 7 General] ebautista:
Microsoft is building big noise with Windows Phone. Nokia is getting a lot from it. Now there few question left here.

We know that Skype is under the umbrella of Microsoft. And since they are above Skype, why is it that they cannot improve their Messaging platform to adapt the WP7 framework. I mean look at at how short they managed to build or compile Skype versions for iOS and Android. Both of these OS have different structure and built from different languages. Not to mention that their framework are different also. And their connection between to Apple and Google is too distant compared to Microsoft. They have to deal with those 2 companies. But why does skype cannot adapt WP's environment? Since they now have direct connections with each other (Microsoft). What are the reasons why they cannot add the push notification or background process? Well, they managed to do it in iOS and Android. If they cannot, why IM+ have it? why Tango have it? and why other Messaging softwares for WP7 have managed to have that feature? I cannot think of way what stops them from doing it.

I have Samsung Omnia W. I am using it for several months already. But I am not satisfied how and why Skype cannot push such features that iOS and Android have? I wanna sell it or swap it because I think there are some things missing in the phone. They have successfully advertised it. But come on, how can they convince consumers that it can compete with iOS and Android if these two phones have more features than their phone have? It's fast yes and prevent softwares to make it slow. But come to think of this, Tango have background call feature and some messaging can do push notification. So what will make it slow if these features exist?

But something is playing in my mind. I think they will integrateit to WP8 which is good. But we all know that MS doesn't even know or doesn't even have a plan to push upgrade of WP8 to our WP7. So now how? WP8 targeted to be available in the end of quarter. But there are still hundreds or thousands of WP7 in the market.

This is not to say don't buy WP but just to convince you to push Skype and Microsoft not to use us in their business plans.

I got my replacement about 12 hours ago, and I noticed a couple of things that I thought I'd share. Firstly, it was brand-new, still sealed in the box, so yay for getting an extra battery and cable. Anyhoo...

1. The display is better... it isn't as grainy at low brightness and nothing has a purple hue.

2. It's LOUD. I'm very certain that the speaker is a lot louder than the other one. I didn't have a chance to compare them side-by-side since I sent the other one off already, but I found that noteworthy for sure. I wonder if there's something different about this one hardware-wise or something... but I thought it was a software thing?

Oh, and I picked up an Otterbox Commuter, too... $35 is a lot cheaper than another $100... haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Where did u pick up the otterbox
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
A local Sprint Store.

Better display and louder speaker huh? Interesting. Do u see any black spots on the screen on low brightness and a black screen? Like in the gallery app?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerEVA06:
I know this is kind of OT but...

What is this grainy/purple hue everyone keeps talking about? When I first got my Sprint Gnex I noticed on low brightness there was a blue hue with color banding, but after almost a month it's pretty much disappeared. Both my Nexus S (9020t and D720) were the same way, and now after 1-1.5 years they look the exact same just dimmer or brighter. Is it just me or have I gotten EXTREMELY lucky with all 5 of my Nexus line phones?

And by the way, if anyone is unhappy with a phone you get from Asurion, give them a call and be polite but agitated, and ask for a different one. 9/10 times they'll give you a brand new phone still sealed in box. <-Just for future reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
Negative.

You're either lucky or not as picky as some of us :-)

[HTC Rezound] bjaxon:
My question....

Are the LED's under the capacitive buttons controlled by individual drivers or is it one driver for all 4 LED's. Also is the driver(s) replaced when I flash a new ROM and Kernel?

My reason.....

I got a replacement Rezound, and the phone is flawless other than 1 LED. All the buttons are nice, bright, and red, but the home button is barely lit up. Very dim. When I use the dim LED script the home button basically turns off.

I don't wanna deal with getting another that may have real problem, when this is just more of an annoyance. My Dad is the boss at a factory that builds computer electronics for all kind of crazy stuff, and said he could have someone replace them properly. I've ordered red 0603 SMD LED's to replace them all. My only concern is he mentioned it could be a bad driver for that LED, and make all the replacing pointless. So if they are all controlled by a single driver it would be a bad LED.

Or do I just not know what the hell I'm talking about?

EDIT: This should be in Q&A. Mods please move.
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Honestly, I don't know but I suspect it is just an individual LED. Not on a computer right now but there is a thread on this forum with high res pics showing the LED color mod that might help make the process easier.
[HTC Rezound] bjaxon:
I did see that thread. That's where I got the red LED idea, but his problem was pink buttons not really a possible burn out, or other issue. I could deal with them being pink if they lit properly.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
probably a mis-aligned attachment on the pcb, or a bad led altogether.. if you want to take it apart you can probably replace the individual led, but you'll need some soldering expertise.
[HTC Rezound] bjaxon:
That's also what he thought bad connection. They have plenty of experience at his work, and all the right equipment. So I'm gonna send it there. I wanted to make sure there wasn't an individual driver for just that led before I wasted his employee or companies time.
[HTC Rezound] rtm1102:
Yes, sound like bad hardware for sure...good luck!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
i have spent the last 2 days searching these xda forums. btw u guys rock. i would not have gotten throgh rooting and putting a custom rom my first phone if it wasn't for you. anyway, i found out the hard way that trying to mod an atrix with 2.3.6 on build 4.5.141 is not easy. after many wrong turns, i was finally able to unlock my bl and get my phone rooted. then i was able to play with cwm. i was able to backup my current rom, but cannot reboot into recovery. this made me curious so i tried to enter android recovery which failed as well. both ways gives me the droid guy and a triangle. i went thru all this work so i could flash a cool rom ( thinking cm7 since it seems to be stable, but i wanna check around). since i cant reboot into recovery, im kind of at a stand still. i did my best to search through the forums before i asked any stupid questions, but im stuck. please help me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
What have you tried to get into recovery? How did you install a recovery?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Delete install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc.

Then, install Rom Racers recovery via fastboot.

Sent from my CM7 Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
I tried to reboot into recovery from rom manager. When that failed i powered phone up holding volume down, then scrolled to android recovery option. i used automatic unlock v4.2 to unlock bl's (option 1). I did not use option 2 to root since i was not familiar with tenfar cwm. So i rooted using method #1 from rootzwiki's atrix page. I then chose option 6 for cwm recovery and rom manager. I went to market, downloaded rom manager. When i opened rom manager, i clicked flash cwm recovery. then tried to reboot into recovery and....dead end.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
thanks swiftks. i was actually looking into following your advice. just didnt want to post until i tried. anyway, i already have rom racers zip downloaded onto my internal memory. the plan was to use rom manager to install rom from sd card just like its says on the noob page. just was never able to get that far. so im sorry for my ignorance, but how do i go about deleting that file. and how do i use fastboot to install rom racers recovery? im trying my best to learn. i broke my captivate a few days ago and this phone is new to me. plus, im not exactly a tech expert. i just follow directions well and have learned just enough to get myself into trouble
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
Ill let swift answer from here cuz im stumped. I do know to delete the file, you need root explorer (can find on play store) and root access. Open root explorer and navigate to system/etc then find the file and delete it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
update. so before i went hunting down root explorer i tried to flash cwm recovery through rom manager one last time (3rd time, every time said it was successful. lo and behold, i got into recovery. i am now going to attempt to upgrade to rom racers cwm. i did at one point download a fastboot file, just cant remember if i installed correctly cuz i was pretty drunk last night. how can i verify. i do definately have sdk tools tho. checked for adb devices. is fastboot under sdk tools? or was that a dumb question?. nevermind. i do have fastboot. found my fastboot device. Then entered "fastboot erase recovery" failed 000300003. im pretty sure this needs to be deleted as u suggested. when i got recovery to open, i went back and tried to finish installing romracers cwm via rom managers install from sd option. got the triangle again. reflashed cwm thru rom manager and was able to boot into recovery. from there i tried to install zip from sd, installation successful, reboot propmpt. rebooted. wnet directly to rom manager, tried to reboot into recovery... triangle. reflash thru rm, recovery boots. reboot system. tried to reboot into recovery, but triangle is back. the only way for me to get to recovery is reflash it everytime before i use it. this has got to be because i never deleted the path you suggested, right? im really tryin here, but i feel like im stuck inside a real life boot loop
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
On my computer the path for fastboot is android-sdk-tools/platform-tools/fastboot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
i downloaded root explorer. deleted install-recovery.sh @ /system/etc. once i did this i was able to use fstboot commands from rom racers page. fastboot erase recovery was successful. then tried 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img'

error: cannot load.

im chipping away at it but wow. thoght i would be flashing cm7 by now. I do appreciate your patience, lord knows mine is running low
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pre4speed:
At this point are you still not able to get in recovery?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
finally, success! just figured out what the hell im doing with fastboot. unzipped romracers cwm to same folder containing fastboot, finished last part of cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then fastboot reboot and voila! i now have rom racers cwm. i will now enter rom manager, backup rom (which i understand is a nandroid process). then start researcing cm7 and eventually some more roms to play with. thanks for all of your help
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinlakesnake:
once recovery was fixed, everything was a breeze. put cm7zip on internal sd, installed from recovery, data wipe then cache wipe, then reboot. iput google apps zip on internal sd, installed from recovery. fancy new phone! only took me 3 days to do it. i hope someone else can learn from my mistakes

S3 already has 9,000,000 pre-orders! Maybe this is the real iphone killer after all. Wonder if the success of this device will carry over to the next version of the Note? I am happy for Samsung cause they make great devices. My old Samsung Epix just recently stopped working after 4 years. Hope my Note makes it 4 years. I bet the Note will get 10,000,000 pre-orders.

I just don't get why people are asking for a new Note already. This note isn't even 6 months old and people want a new one? The note probably won't ever outsell smaller phones because the market for this size phone is small. As for phones being an Iphone killer, I'm tired of that statement too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
Nobody is crying here. Quite the opposite...I love my Note. I paid more for this phone than I did my TV. If your television had a bad screen when you bought it then it is ok because it isn't a movie theatre. Right? Other manufacturers don't have this issue and the leader of the cell market shouldn't either.

Does the S3 have this issue? If it doesn't then that means it is possible that the Note 2 might not. This is a media consumption device. The screen isnt this big just so you can make phone calls.

It also means the Note 2 might have a better processor which supposedly saves energy.

I would like to see the technology of the S3 incorporated into the next Note because I prefer the size of the Note.

Learning how to flash to cricket, rooting and flashing roms, all great. Luckily my gf now has my EVO to use around the house so it will still get used.

So thanks to all the community for making the EVO what is and hope you keep up the good work.

I heard the One V does not have a compass in built. How does this affect turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps and the like? Can anyone confirm it still works reliably?
[HTC One V] gvic1:
If you use Navigator in car there are no problems, but if you intend to use it to walk, the lack of compass is annoying because sometimes is not able to understand in which direction you're going.

[HTC One V] handisetyadi:
everything works fine, the Poin where am i always move as i move.

As it's mentioned already that it often annoys when we dont know which direction are we going, this can be solved by HTC Location. Somehow....

With HTCLocation, you can download maps so you can use offlinely. It also have a lot of point interest or places on the map. They can help you to get to know which direction are you in, wtihout compass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlmccorm:
So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.

Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)

From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.

Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlmccorm:
A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).

Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.

What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"

Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
It sounds like you need to reprogram your MDN and MSID? Are the correct values shown under About, Status? Check the PRL field too.

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlmccorm:
First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed :)

Thanks ya'll
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Good going JLM!

Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.

Edit: Also, what's the 'clear phone efs'?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lexvdub1:
Did you do a full restore or a data preserve?

Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.

Nook Tablet 8GB

Running Dual Boot SD (Kingston Class 6) CM7 Alpha Final, March 9th

Had everything up and running for about a month on CM7. Last week I received a ROM update message. I ran the update. Since then Nook would reboot into the stock BN. I would reboot back into CM7...up until a few days ago.

I am now unable to boot into CM7 at all (with or without external power). When I reboot, it displays TEAM-B and then I see the cyanogen android guy skate onto the screen and then it reboots back into BN stock.

Apps were not backed up.

How can I get my CM7 back up and running? Should I reimage the SD with CM7 again?

Is there another way I can fix the SD card content and not lose my settings and apps? Will reimaging the SD with CM7 Alpha Final even fix the issue?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
do not use that card if CrystalDiskMark sez it has a "low" performance on 4K random i/o.

that would be what i would do. did you know the ( very learned and intelligent senior dev ) succulent has a better cm7 ( with fixes ! ) but its not out. . as i understand it - he wishes all to grab the source and compile their own. . i think this goes along with the old proverb : "feed a man a fish and he is not hungry for a day. . teach a man how to fish and you have fed him for the rest of his life."

fwiw.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jrtmouse:
old_fart,

This tablet is not rooted. Will what I compile from Succulent's data still allow me to boot CM7 from the card without harming the stock Nook software?
