I think all the ones that are not compatible with our device will not show up. Im on a ICS ROM and for example Discover Mobile will not even show up when I do a search. Had it GB 2.3
[HTC EVO 3D] kyogoku:
you miss a "s" there. i use "longest day deals" and it work
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I don't believe sonic is part of the longest day deals, at least its not included when you look for them, but its definitely on sale. Downloaded it last night for a dollar :) ah the nostalgia
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
That's accurate, but not entirely true. NBA Jam, for whatever reason, is said to not be compatible with the 3D. So I bought it on my EVO 4G, backed up with titanium, moved to 3D and installed fine, plays fine too. Don't get why they claim its not compatible!.

On the other hand, Mass Effect will simply not load at all. Crashes everytime.

Go figure.

[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Cool, so you selling your device so you can buy an Android ...which obviously doesn't suck.....al;kdjghy8t g[pozhunbx......sorry, I threw up saying that.

Bottom line here...they've always said this....It needs to work...if it doesn't , they won't do it. I can live with that...obviously your standards are higher than mine... ;)

Part I like best.... The update will be delivered directly to users, sidestepping carriers, and can be done over WiFi.
[Nokia Lumia 900] boxcar8028:
its not so much the lack of ability to take advantage of multicore and NFC. but due to the new kernel its the lack of new apps :mad:
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
What is sucks about this is the fragmentation, now you'll see a bunch of apps only supported if you are running WP8. which you wont be able to do on your 2 months old Lumia.

[Nokia Lumia 900] dk_iceman:
why so angry.... they are not forgetting 2. gen devices they are just not getting all.

im ok happy about it.. i will keep my Lumia 900 and Lumia 800 and if i can't live with out WP 8 I will just by one when released..
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
In basic principle, I can agree. But not in overall. An available app will or won't be able to load on your phone. Its not like it will download and not run right. Like you see in the Android market.

At some point its got to be ok to say, it makes no sense to upgrade a device. If you were to upgrade to 8, but most of the new features didn't work, you would comment about how it didn't work.

Can't have it both ways...well, maybe you can....but still...Microsoft is only doing what it said it would do.

The guy mis-read/mis-understood entirely.

What MS said is that WP8 users, not WP7 users, can register to be Microsoft's test mules for updates that are going to be released soon.
[Nokia Lumia 900] bobzero:
The biggest worry is that WP8 will allow native code for apps, and that many apps will thus not work on "older" phones.

The Lumia 900 is only a few months old and the 800 and 710 and 610 are not much older (all are less than 9 months on the market), but they will not be getting Windows Phone 8 update just like all first generation Windows Phones. Nokia must have known for some time as well that current Lumia buyers would not get WP8 update, this seems unfair especially for Lumia 900 buyers.

I wonder if Nokia plans to do something to make this more fair for current Lumia users?
[Nokia Lumia 900] ballanda123:
How hard would it be to offer the "with-contract" price on the new WP8 devices to current Mango owners, even if they're not eligible for an upgrade? That would satisfy me plenty.
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Apps written in native code won't happen immediately. If you're an app developer, why write an app for a market with no installed base when you can write one to cover both the installed base and the developing one?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
I agree, I bought my 900 and I love the phone I really do but I somehow feel cheated that Nokia let this phone out knowing there would be no update. And yes I am sure they knew, when releasing this phone that there would be no WP8.

How WP 7.8 will make me happy? I like the new start screen but I also want a file explorer and the ability to add custom tones and ringers at will. Yes I know some of you look at adding custom ringers and tones is silly but hey I like it ...and no I DON'T want an android.
[Nokia Lumia 900] boxcar8028:
I think AT$T should allow lumia 900 and htc titan owners to upgrade to a new wp8 at the 2 year contract price. I don't want to be stuck with old outdated apps:mad::mad::mad:

[Nokia Lumia 900] ballanda123:
You can do this now. What am I missing?

You just sync MP3's to your phone, after changing the genere to "ringtone", I believe... there's a bunch of tutorials out ther on the subject.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
lol I know that I was more referring to custom tones for email and messaging. As for custom ringers I think and on board app for making them would be cool. But I already knew bout the methods to make them just to be clear.
[Nokia Lumia 900] whatsitsnamenow:
Was I a beta tester?

Lol:D

:D

I think the commercial was aiming at themselves.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
It is other way around. A lot of good apps/games are not ported over to WP7 because of the lack of native code support. Once WP8 is out, you will see a lot of those apps/games flood the martket.

Besides, you can create apps for Windows 8 and WP8 at the same time with very minimum modifications.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
F**king ludicrous. All the features I have been waiting for I expected to see in Apollo. VPN, true multitasking, native code execution and the excuse is we can't support newer hardware and older on the same platform?

What total load of bullsh!t. I have been supporting MS OS's for a LONG time now and have windows 7 running on 9 year old computers and XP running on new hardware. I guess the last 20 years of them writing OS's that can do that isn't proof it is possible?! Thanks for thinking were all too stupid to notice.
[Nokia Lumia 900] go0gle:
They had to break from Windows CE.. it was inevitable. They (nokia and MS) should have been upfront about it when they started selling the 900..

"you will get 7.8, but not 8" simple and honest. That way they avoid all the drama.
[Nokia Lumia 900] agp64:
I just hope that Skype will be fully functional in 7.8. If the update Only comes to the new phones I will be pissed of.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
I doubt it. You need the new multitasking feature of WP8 for Skype to be fully functional.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
I would love to see a weather app that had an animated lock screen or something like that... maybe some sort of background wallpaper maybe.... I like the new start screen and I absolutely want file access ...the rest is just cute stuff that would be cool

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Oh one thing I would like to have is the phone button go directly into the dialer and not into the call history.
[Nokia Lumia 900] tdp252:
So long

Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and will be selling my Lumia 900 on ebay. I even paid full price for this phone ($450) so i wouldn't have to renew my contact. So much for an upgrade path... what a load of crap..
[Nokia Lumia 900] agp64:
Well if that’s the case I might have to look at changing to something new. I did just get a Lumia 900 because it has a front camera and I use Skype every day.

Feeling I have backed the wrong OS now.

Why even make a phone with a front facing camera if you have no intension of giving it the correct software? My Apple friends are going to have a field day with this.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbragge33:
Hi. I'm new with tablet. I just got my asus tf300 last week. I notice that I have only 6 hours battery life when I surfing and playing video in youtube. It's seem like I lost almost 20% battery every hours. So I just wonder how long bettery life you guys has with Asus tf300. Is this normal to have only 6 hours? I turn off bluetooth and gps all the time to save battery life but I does not help anything. Thank you for your answer.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I think thats about right it just depends on how many videos you watched and how many high end webpages you surfed through. Also the brightness is a big factor on battery life, i recommend using 50% brightness or less. Also check what programs are running in the background, and accessing internet on their own accord. Ah and also sleep mode isnt the best out there it still eats up your battery some, so you will get better battery life if you use it a lot during the day right after charging it.

With normal surfing the web and watching one or two videos, playing 15 mins of a game, I get about 7.5hrs. If I play a high end game (shadowgun thd etc) I've estimated that a full drain will take between 4-5hrs. If your brightness is set at the lowest position you can get almost 10 hrs just doing simple stuff.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
can you see in daytime indoor if you set brightness at the lowest position?

and how bright is it at the highest position? (daytime indoor too)

i just want to know how bright this tablet is when use it indoor, because i think i won't use it outdoor much, thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Well at day time it is really hard to see it at the lowest positions, depending on the lighting you have in the room you are using it. At daytime I have mine set around 40-50% (if I have the charger connected I pump it up to 100%). At night in a dark room I set it at the lowest position, sometimes I use the Screen Filter app to make it less bright. For outdoor use you will need to set it at a 100%, you will still see a lot of glare though (I don't use it outdoors). If you want to get the best outdoor experience you might want to get a anti-glare screen protector, Caseen has some with pretty good reviews.

This is not for i9300 but for i9308 which is a chinese variant as far as i know from googling, also found that i9308's stock roms are bloated to death with chinese apps and such. Simply just dont flash this as its for the china variant and bloated to hell.
[Galaxy S III General] JusDigital:
I've come across a China Mobile I9308, and I have the Asian/Chinese firmware on it and firstly, removing the bloatware takes 3minutes (quick root flash via Odin, install Root Uninstaller App and remove all stock/bloatware apps). Secondly, to install Google Play Store (which took me hours to figure out), you need to install a "gapps(something or other. I can't recall).zip. Only problem I've run into is getting 4G to run after flashing it to AT&T. And last but not least, I think this is definitely not the Chinese Firmware. The Chinese firmware can be found in samsung's website and the file has a different name.

Latest ROM

I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...

I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00

I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.

everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...

Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.

i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.

I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4

i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....

My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cmaxwe:
Seems the AT&T ROMs have some tether protection (entitlement check) built into them that does not exist on the Rogers ROMs. So if you are a Rogers user and have flashed an AT&T based ROM then you will need to make a change to your telephony database to be able to get tethering working.

This problem probably is not unique to Rogers and probably applies to anyone who is using an AT&T based ROM on a network other than AT&T. To apply this to a different carrier you will just need to change the APN, numeric, mcc and mnc values in step 5 to match your carrier values.

Update: Turge made a flashable zip to perform this update.

Just install the zip in recovery.

Flashable ZIP (thanks Turge):

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1145125&d=1340286308

------------------------------------------------------------------

Old Instructions:

1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).

2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3

3. Open an adb shell

4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:

su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:

INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0");

6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:

select * from carriers;

This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.

7. Type the following to quit sqlite3

.exit

8. Type the following to reboot your phone

reboot

When your phone reboots it will work with standard ICS/Sense tethering!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cmaxwe:
I tried to write an ADB script to do this but ran into problems with the INSERT command so I just wrote some instructions instead.

Someone more skilled at scripting could probably build an ADB script pretty easily I am sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Turge:
I was bored, so I made you a recovery flashable zip to perform your changes

If you want to find out if it worked, just type "cat /tmp/recovery.log" via adb shell after flashing the zip. The output should look like this:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Calkulin:
I just created a hack that will unlock the tethering on AT&T based ROMs without modding this setting, so I'll post it in a couple when I get the chance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
This way is much better, it is universal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cmaxwe:
Yeah the other method is carrier agnostic/universal but it needs to be updated for each new AT&T RUU.

Using the method in this thread you could create a flash file for each carrier and that flash file should be usable on any new AT&T RUU.

The method in this thread seems safer too because you are just modifying a few rows in a database instead of replacing functionality/executable code (which I think is what the other mod does).

In fact ROM creators could insert Entitlement rows for all the common carriers in the Telephony.db and we wouldn't need to worry about any of these mods. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] daitienshi:
I just flashed it and tried to run a wifi-hotspot and it doesn't seem to work.

I do get a different message now saying that if I want this to work, I should call someone from att or dial 611.

Anyone else try this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zakhir_n:
i tried it and got the same result as you....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shchenok:
Same here, no luck. Rooted stock 1.85 AT&T, connected on "4G" (HSPA+).

(ADB method)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cmaxwe:
That is odd...hmm.

With the ADB method did step 6 (select * from carriers) show the new line that you added?

Also are you in Canada on the Rogers network? This is only for Rogers.

Edit: If you are both on HSPA+ and not LTE then maybe that has something to do with it. The APN that I used was for LTE. You could try replacing ltemobile.apn in the instructions above with rogers-core-appl1.apn.

I would do revert to the backup of your telephony.db first before I tried this though as I am not sure what happens if you have more than one Entitlement APN for a carrier. It probably just uses the first one in the list which would mean adding rogers-core-appl1.apn would have no impact.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shchenok:
Yes, it did.

No, I'm on AT&T, my mistake!
