Nokia at Windows Phone 8 unveiling

Today, Nokia’s Kevin Shields – who leads product development for Lumia smartphones – joined Microsoft representatives on stage at the Windows Phone Summit in San Francisco to outline how we’re working together to build a winning Windows Phone ecosystem and bring new experiences to Lumia phones.

Microsoft’s Terry Myerson, Kevin Gallo and Joe Belfiore started the morning by previewing Windows Phone 8, which will come out later this year, and unveiled new hardware specs like NFC, multi-core processors and improved screen resolutions.

With years of experience building NFC experiences on Symbian, the Nokia N9 and most recently the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC with Orange, we’re excited about what we can do with NFC across the whole of Windows Phone. Just take another look at the Nokia Play360 NFC speakers if you have any doubts.

Microsoft also revealed that Nokia would continue bringing unique innovations to Windows Phone 8 through our hardware, services and apps.

Nokia Lumia owners to get new Windows Phone 8 experience

But the news doesn’t stop there. For those who already have Lumia devices with Windows Phone 7.5, you’ll be able to update your phones with some of the new Windows Phone 8 features like the start screen and download new apps from companies like Zynga, whose Words with Friends and Draw Something will be available in Autumn.

Microsoft also announced today that the Windows Phone Marketplace has reached 100,000 apps, and with Windows Phone 8 sharing the Windows 8 core, millions of Windows developers will also be able to develop for Windows Phone ecosystem. Lumia customers can expect thousands more apps to be introduced across Windows Phone platform.

The announcements underline the progress Nokia is making with the Lumia family of smartphones and in building a winning ecosystem with Microsoft. It shows how the Windows Phone experience continues to evolve at a faster pace than the competition and how Nokia’s continued investments in great location-based services benefit partners, developers and consumers.

New apps and functionality for Lumia owners

Finally, Kevin revealed that Nokia will deliver existing Lumia customers exclusive new Marketplace apps like digital Camera Extras to bring new possibilities to your Lumia including panorama shots, a self-timer, Action Shot for capturing movement and Smart Group Shot for creating the perfect group shot from several different images; new features for Nokia Drive and Nokia Transport; and also distributing a pattern of updates like WiFi tethering and flip-to-silence.

To learn more about those updates and when you can expect to see the new apps in Marketplace, check out this dedicated post. There’s a lot of exciting new stuff coming to Lumia now and in the future and we’ll keep you posted.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Volknochi:
So, trying to install the driver exe file from Samsung's website and it won't work. Keeps saying that it failed to install drivers. And, if I have the phone as USB Debugging enabled, it'll pop up with 2 out of 4 that says it failed to install.

My roommate was able to install the .exe file on his Windows 8 beta laptop (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit) without a problem. And, the phone installed fine on his laptop as well. For me, no.

If USB Debugging is not enabled, then yeah, the phone is fine. But, since I want to root this thing, it won't accept the drivers. And, nowhere on Google, searching or Samsung's website provides me any answers whatsoever.

I've done:

Going through regedit and deleting all things Samsung related

Deleted every Samsung folder on my hard drive

Rebooted the computer

Uninstalled the drivers

Reinstalled multiple times

Downloading and installing Kies (did not install any drivers, still failed)

I've done everything I can possibly think of. Couldn't find any answers on here, either. And, doesn't help that the search function is broken.

So, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And, please do not say "Reinstall Windows" because that's just ridiculous and I shouldn't have to do that for a simple phone driver install. I had my Epic 4G before and that all went smoothly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gtuansdiamm:
Go do something in control panel and uninstall the samsung drivers that you already have on your comp

Then try installing

But I reccomend reinstalling windows :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
+1

I had the same issue with mine on xp. Uninstalled my et4g drivers and installed the gs3 drivers. After a restart, the pc finally recognized my phone as a mass storage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Volknochi:
I already said that I did that.

And, I'm not reinstalling Windows all over again just for this phone, as I also said. But, it doesn't matter, I already got it rooted through the roommate's laptop.

EDIT: I managed to get it to work. My other half had similar problems with device drivers so just had to have me remove the phone from USB, uninstall driver and then plug the phone back in. And, it actually worked.

I'm going on vacation to a foreign country, and I need a portable battery charger for the road for my Galaxy Nexus. Can anyone recommend a good portable battery charger.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Burgers:
I have the Mili Candy, great for a quick charge. On their website is a bunch of others that will give you a longer charge.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
I have seen cheaper ones then the mili but I can't recommend any as I don't use them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] la7lou7a:
why not buy extra batteries and a wall charger? just an idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferndom:
Because I am going to be in a place where the electricity goes out for hours at a time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
I have one of these from Amazon and works great with AA or 9 volt batteries. LINK

AA batteries should be available or you can just buy rechargeable ones (thats what I do)

Edit: This device doesnt recharge your rechargeable batteries, you would have to take along a charger for those as well which might be too cumbersome for you. Either way, just another option.

Then when you get home you can use it as a regular charger.

Have a safe trip!
[Thunderbolt General] egofreak:
I just recently got my referb bolt ( my original died.. capacitive buttons stopped responding...)

speed rooted it using the AIO thunderbolt tool and all went well.:laugh:

However, I have ONE really odd issue. I can get into recovery using rom manager, power menu options and through the bootloader reboot into recovery, BUT I CANNOT use volup+power to get into recovery and I cant figure out why.

I tried re-flashing CWM using the AIO tool. I tried using TWRP I even re-flashed CWM in rom manager and cleared my caches. This isnt a huge issue, but 99% working isnt cool and I would hate to have something go wrong later where i need volup+power.

appreciate it guys:good:
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
I thought it was vol down
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yea volume up and power never worked for me to get into recovery. It's volume down but it takes you to the bootloader not recovery. On my eris it would take you to the recovery but the dinc2 and this device dont.
[Thunderbolt General] leoingle:
i dont recall vol up and power ever doing anything on HTC phones. I know it doesnt on the TB. I think you might be getting mixed up with Samsungs.
[Thunderbolt General] egofreak:
I must be going crazy, but I could of sworn we were supposed to be able to boot right to recovery using vol up+ power on the bolt. I knew about vol down for boot loader.Maybe I just haven't flashed my phone in forever. :confused:

I DO have a Samsung device...maybe I'm confused.:rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
Yes, I am using the stable nightly of CM7.2.0-RC3 released 16-June at here:

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus

I saw that there were many positive comments about it and have been using for a week. But the fact gives me the disappointment when online movies and flash games are played with an impossible quality. My dual-core Atrix play is now showing the movies/flash games even worse than my Milestone 1 since 2009 :(

I am wondering if this caused by my settings at somewhere, but I have checked on all and could not find anything related to video/flash or so on

The CM7.2.0-RC3 is so good so far in everything else but this. So I created this thread with hope the helps from you bros. Could someone confirm me if this issue is present in your device? Thanks in advance,
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Did you try reverting to a 10.xxxx version of flash? There is a thread about the flash issues.
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
Thanks for share. I searched on Play but there is now the Flash Player 11 only. I've search for 10.x one but could not found any. Could you pls point me that thread which resolved this issue? Thanks again
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Quick Google search worked on finding one of the threads, there were a couple of threads and had links to older versions of flash. www.google.com/m?q=atrix+cm7+flash+fix&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
Yes, I've read that thread already but it could not help me to fix. In fact I tried the Flash Player v11 method as guided in the thread but nothing improved. I have no Flash Player v10.3 so I was unable to try the 2nd method.

Could someone here pls point me where I can download the FP v10.3?

Edit: You guys can make a test on the game Alien Attack on Miniclip at here to see how lag the flash player performs gaming on CM7.2.0

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziking:
I have codename from 4.04 how do I add scrollable drawer and can store 3 page drawer with out rom . Just by editing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiViD:
So after fighting with various ROM's and various kernels, I found out that if the RIL and the baseband in the ROM do not match, 911 calls will be disconnected instantly without dialing. After downloading the RIL for the LC1 baseband and rebooting, I tested a 911 call today (reporting a speeding Kawasaki, so a real call) and I was able to hold a 911 call. The downside was having to switch to Bluetooth unlike making a normal call where Bluetooth normally works.

I can only guess that when a ROM is being developed, the developers RIL gets imprinted into the ROM. So if your current ROM has the same RIL and baseband and you go to flash a different ROM, chances are that your RIL and baseband will be mismatched. Luckily we have GetRIL to fix that issue. So this happens in other ROM's besides CM.

Sorry if this thread sounds like a 'No Sh** Sherlock' kind of thread, but I posted this complaint in one developer sub-forum and was greeted with an arrogant 'cannot be replicated' reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
soooo.....your one of those people. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltdown07:
Big thanks to the OP for this info. You never know when you'll have to call 911, I'm glad to know that I am now (after fixing my RIL) able to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Good to know as well. My RIL was matched luckily :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
So is 911 only effected on a gsm rom since getril isnt supported for the cdma nexus

by me, for me and I love you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiViD:
If RIL's do not apply to WCDMA (Toro) based devices, then I suppose the GSM (Maguro) devices are the only ones susceptible to this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiViD:
Heh, when I see a Kawasaki going 120 KM/H, doing 'California Lane Changes' on a road set for 80 KM/H, you bet your ass I am going to report it. :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
Hi,

I found out that the voice call is now very low as compared to GB. I can hardly hear even though I increased the volume.

Another thing is, I am not sure if it's just cosmetic bug, if I go to call log in viber, I would see duplicated name, eg John Doe, John Doe, whilst in GB it works just fine.

I have tried to reinstall viber and still the same.

Anyone having the same issue?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
have u wiped all ur data before flash or u used to update using pc companion?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
I use flashtool and the wipe user data is ticked.

I do not do factory reset after flash as I think both of them are actually the same.

Did I do it wrong?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sonic_boom:
My viber working perfect so far
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
Can you check if the recent call list has duplicated entry? It's like

John Doe, John Doe

Alex, Alex

Bob, Bob

when it should be only

John Doe

Alex

Bob

I don't have this issue in GB, guess I have to try factory reset.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
My Viber app is working fine in ICS call volume about the same, contact list is okay too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] randy_c:
recent did have duplicate name several times.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
I upgrade to ICS using flashtool using wipe data. I didn't do the factory reset after and I thought that could be the culprit.

Now I have done the factory reset and viber still behave the same.

Noticeable lowered call volume (still ok if we stay in quiet environment), ear piece get hot much faster and duplicated recent (I think cosmestic bug). But then, it is still useable.

Now great, as an extra, I have all my sdcard content wiped :( If any kind soul to upload me the content that would be great, those demo videos, photos, mp3.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Viber Team:
Viber

Hi,

This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!

Viber supports ICS on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Nexus S Any other device with ICS is considered Altered, or Customized ROM.

Our recommendations to you would be to either uninstall and reinstall Viber, or to find the proper customization which works best with Viber. Of course, returning your device back to it's original settings is the best option for compatibility.

If you have any questions we'd be happy to assist. :)

Thank you,

Viber Team
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] duongtunglam:
I'm using REMICS ROM (android 4.0.4 based on CM9) for my Galaxy SL. Cannot add Viber account into Account & Sync, so Viber cannot sync my contacts to show my friends who using Viber. What's happening?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Viber eats a lot of background memory on my ICS plus i am having problem where i cant send pictures over unless its not taken at the xact moment. It was a lovely app but with every upgrade its breaking into pieces..It needs some fix
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Viber Team:
@duongtunglam -

Please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue.

@ashqmallik -

We couldn't quite understand the problem with the sending of the pictures... could you elaborate on that please?

About the battery issue: please make sure that Viber is the cause for the battery drain by isolating Viber (having no other apps running) on a device with stock ROM (custom ROMs may cause this problem).

We conduct strict testings in our labs with several devices and other than when making a call (when it is natural for the battery to be used), we did not come across any significant battery drain when Viber was simply running in the background. Furthermore, over the course of over 15 hours, on average the battery use was only 2%.

You can find additional information on tests performed by Viber users themselves, which show similar results, at:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bonebeatz1234:
when i had the htc sensation i could send pictures to other people and they would receives the picture in the exact size as i took it and i was able to make my mms size bigger in the settings from a camera hack. This phone says the biggest i could send is 1m which isn't bad but the picture kinda looks like trash when compressed. Is there a hack or something i could do to send none compressed pictures.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Yup is is the development section also various roms have it integrated already, I believe up to 5mb

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] snakecharmer23:
Like a lot of people here I'm new to NFC. Other than Google Wallet (which I am not overly interested in at this point) I'd like to know what the capabilities of NFC are. I've seen a few android beam demonstrations and it seems like more of a novelty than of practical use.

I'd like to be able to use NFC to switch on bluetooth when in my car and to set my alarm when going to bed. Automation of simple tasks that I do every single day would be greatly beneficial.

Would I need a special app to do this? What kind of tags do I have to buy? Can I buy any tag and tell my phone what to do when I scan it? Do I have to program tags myself?

Thanks in advance to everyone who helps and I hope I'm not the only one who benefits from answers to these questions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
There's a thread here that discusses everything from where to get tags to how to program them using different apps. I posted some guides in there too.

To get you started:

Buy tags here, comes with an awesome NFC keyring.

Program the tags with this.

Use Tasker to make the above application more powerful.

If you need help with anything specific post in that thread and I'll help you out :) or PM me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GeneralSpecific:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&hl=en

Here's the app I use, it's fantastic. You can make simple tags, complicated ones, or even switches(a tag that does 2 different things).

For example, I have a switch configured for when i get to/leave work. It toggles wifi, Bluetooth, ring volume, ring tone, media volume, and notification tone, all in one tag, all in one touch. Watch the video in the link, it's pretty helpful too!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
There is a mod in the EVO 4g LTE and HTC one x forums that let's you choose when NFC can be read.

Screen on and unlocked,

Screen on and locked, or

Screed off (obviously locked)

I modded the phone to read tags when the screen is on and even if the phone is still locked. Allowing it to read while the screen is off may be a security risk for some.

Anyway,

On my keychain:

Switcher:

WiFi off, Bluetooth on, volume up, brightness up, latitude check in, plays media player.

This is great because it automatically connects to my car Bluetooth headset and the HTC aux stereoclip so music starts playing through my car speakers wirelessly via swipe of the keychain.

Tap again to disable all these and check in again w latitude.

I also have a separate tag in my car low on the dash to enable GPS and open maps so I don't have to fiddle w my phone througg the settings and open the app drawer to open maps. Makes driving that much safer. Also, I don't always use GPS, so having a separate tag for it from my keychain saves battery by using it only when needed.

Trying to set up a tag to enable WiFi tether for root users and stick it to my laptop/pc for quick swiping and enabling. But that has been tricky as you either have to use tasker or a custom activity in NFC task launcher.

Can't think of any others relevant to my interests. I don't see the need in making 38583983 tags. I definitely use the ones in the car tho.

I may order a wristband and think up something creative for it. Assigning a "sync all" activity would rock for it as I keep auto-syncing on my phone off and only sync email and such when I see fit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] snakecharmer23:
Great info. I think I'll pick up a handful of tags.

1 - At work to set phone to vibrate, turn on Wi-Fi.

1 - In Car to turn on GPS, Bluetooth, Disable Wifi, Open Music App.

1 - At home that turns Alarm on before going to bed.

There are so many possibilities...I can't wait to get this going.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hitzand:
Yeah, unfortunately they are all sold out. I was about to checkout with a kit from them a little while ago when stupid work distracted me and I forgot to come back to it. Really does look like a nice set.
[Motorola Droid 3] pm2gonzales:
I've been having this problem since around the time I first flashed Eclipse 2.2.2 and got on to the .906 update. When I leave my phone idle for about 30min or the screen is just off for prolonged periods of time, it will just freeze. I can't wake it up. Pressing the power button and long pressing the power button both do nothing. I've tried calling the phone but it doesn't answer. The only thing I can do is do a battery pull. It works perfectly fine when it's on, but it's kind of annoying to do a battery pull. This happens on Eclipses 2.2.2, Eclipse 3.0, and Maverick 4.0. Any suggestions?

EDIT: found out the freezing was caused by having 2 CPU apps. I had Voltage Control and SetCPU both installed at the same time so it was causing this. MODs feel free to close thread :)
