[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Since I heard Rogers is pushing Tango for some Lumia 900 users (I'm not one of them), I got jealous and decided to tinker.

Tried to push Tango like I did with forcing Mango back on my Samsung Focus. IT WORKED! I am now installing Tango on my Lumia 900!

My Originaly Blog Post:

http://www.stephenwagner.com/?p=599

Instructions:
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Right now I'm upgrading from:

7.10.8107.79

to

7.10.8112.7
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Sadd how this is needed to get an update in 2012! Thumbs up on figuring it out though!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Ya no kidden, it's all good though. I just hope it fixes my purple screen. I didn't want to push the cabs though since it might screw up future updates...

When I used this "hack" if you want to call it that, on my old Samsung Focus, it worked with nodo, and it didn't stop mango from being detected and installed properly.

I'll keep you guys up to date!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Well, I'm running that newer version now, however I still have the purple screen issue, and no added MMS functionality... hmmmm

Even the update screen said I'd get the MMS functionality.

WAIT A SEC:

Did the "hack" again, now moving on to update to 7.10.8773.98
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
wonder if this will work for At&t...
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
If they have already started pushing it for the 900, I could totally see it working, but I think a pre-req for this hack to work, is that the update has to actually be pushing to some of the phones of the model you have...

I would give it a shot though, might work, and it would be great news too!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
All done, two updates in total. I am now running:

OS Version: 7.10.8773.98

Firmware Version: 2175.1002.8107.12084

Hardware Version: 112.1914.2.0

Radio Software: 2.1.75.10

Radio Hardware: 8055

Bootloader: 7.17.2.0

Chip SOC version: 0.85.2.1

I STILL have the stupid purple screen on low brightness. and I STILL can't download "Nokia Camera Extras".
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
are you able to send video mms?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Ya, there's a new menu for picture/video or voice note...

I tried sending a video to myself, but all the video's I have are HUGE, so I just kept getting erros saying "The video you have selected is too big"
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Pm me ur number. Maybe I can try "sharing" the app with you via text. It's an option in the marketplace.
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
what if you try to take a 5 sec video using the front camera and then share via mms, does it work?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Wow, that's friggin weird...

Took a 5 second video with front facing cam... Went to messaging, new message, attach, chose "picture or video", then went in to Camera, then selected the video I took, but it WONT put it in...

That is weird... bug?

I tried this 3 times, same thing happened...

Went in, recorded another video using the back camera, with resolution set to VGA... This time I made the video a bit longer (10 seconds)....

I attached it, it worked fine, then I hit sent... Showed the video half screen, bar at the top saying "Compressing...". Finally sent...

And received it, so I guess it works.

Just tried it again with ANOTHER video, recorded at 720p, at 30 seconds long... It compressed, and sent ok...
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
Forgive the noobish question but... How exactly do you mean "disconnect from the internet"? Are you physically disconnecting the computer from the net or...?

Please advise. Id like to give this a shot when I get home today... :D
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
That's correct. The firmware to fix the purple screen issue is: 2175.1003.8112.12085.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express Pro
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Just pulling the Cat5 cable from computer...
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
Sweet... Thanks for the info. Gonna giver a go tonight!!! :cyclops:
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
I have the same behavior on my AT&T Lumia, (I used the CAB method for the update)
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
Well... I started to follow this "hack" method and connected my phone and I immediately got the 8112 update pushed to my phone so I guess it was already there waiting so its just updating now. Once its finished I will try the method again to see if I can get Tango. I will post my results...

***EDIT***

Turns out that as soon as the 8112 update was done that the actual Tango update started all by itself!!! NICE!!!

I did NOT need to do anything to get these updates but I DID disable wifi and data and then connected to Zune so maybe thats all that needed to be done?...

I did not need to "navigate away" from the updates page or anything as stated in the OP. Am I just lucky or perhaps all you really need to do is disable data and wifi and Zune will push the updates to you? Either way my Lumia is on its way to being Tangofied - 7.10.8773.98

Maybe WP 7.8 is hiding in here too? LOL...

***EDIT 2***

Has anyone noticed if these updates remove the "governor" that Nokia added to the scrolling speed? I have read a few posts where this has been mentioned and afterwards I did notice that the scrolling is slowed down quite a bit from what I remembered on my old HD7. Any speed improvements in this area with these updates?
[Nokia Lumia 900] EG8196:
does it fix the purple tint issue?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
No... Unfortunately that update was something completely seperate that we here in Canada have NOT received at all.

ATT got it in the U.S. however I believe...
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
What network are you using your Lumia 900 on? If you're not on Rogers, did you have to do anything to set it up to work? I'm on Bell and just did the update and am now on 8773 but still can't send MMS. I still have no way to change the MMS servers. I guess I'm back to waiting for the Nokia Network Setup app that they keep saying they will release. Getting tired of waiting for them.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Ya, I'm on Rogers...

Sorry to hear about your issues with MMS. It's retarded that there's no way to set it up. It's even more retarded that Rogers can stop the app from being posted to change these values.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Just an update. NokiaCare tweeted me mentioning that the Tango update should have the fix...

This is weird...

Is there anyone else on Rogers who got Tango who still has the purple screen issue?
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
Yes. I updated to Tango last night and I still have the Purple Screen issue on low brightness.

It has been mentioned a few posts back that Tango has nothing to do with this issue and that a specific fix was pushed to ATT customers as a "Firmware Revision" that we here at Rogers have not received. Again.. This has nothing to do with updating the OS (ie). Mango, Tango, etc...

Nokia is fibbing to you my friend unless Rogers has just decided to NOT allow that update to come through.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
That is correct.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cabose369:
Still have the issue.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cruiser78:
Thanks for the reply. I talked to Nokia customer support and ended up getting a call from them and they said it was now available on the marketplace. This was probably 3 weeks or so ago and after thanking the guy and hanging up. I looked for the setup app on the marketplace under Nokia's apps and the general marketplace and it wasn't there. I sent an them another email telling them that it still wasn't there and they said someone was going to get in touch with me again but they never did. I love the phone but would like to be able to use MMS and tethering. I guess putting up with this kind of stuff is part of unlocking and using the phone on another network. :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I really wish we could find out exactly who's fault it is... For the app limitations, purple screen fix withdrawal, etc...

It shouldn't be this difficult!
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
I want Microsoft to know about this purple screen people still being not fixed by Rogers! This really hurts the reputation of a flagship device.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
With all these forums, complaints, etc... I'm sure that all parties are aware of the purple screen BS...

It's just really upsetting that no one is doing anything about it, or taking a stand on when or how it will be resolved...

This is the same thing as selling a defective device. What bugs me is that I returned and exchanged my Lumia 900 over 5 times and ALL had the issue.

I'm not sure if it's because we are in Canada that no one has cared or taken a stand on this, or if it's just Rogers not giving a crap about a small group of users with a little problem...
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
What was the process for getting it replaced? Did you have to send it for repairs every time and wait for them to get it back?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I was referring to when I first bought it... Futureshop refused to sell the phone outright (I don't think MS or Nokia would be happy about that), so I bought my phone at Best Buy...

Best Buy offered a 15 day return/exchange window. I just kept returning it, going to different stores, trying to find a different batch, but all the phones had it... Finally I said screw it (after I heard Nokia would be releasing a update to fix it)... Now it's months later, and I'm way passed the 15 day exchange, and no update :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Yeah I see. I have my brightness at medium so I don't have to see the purple problem until the firmware is released.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I have mine set to medium too... It just sucks... I'm on call 24x7, so when I wake up at 1am to check my phone for emails and messages, the brightness FRIES my eyes, hahaha

It's annoying as ****.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Cypz00:
Zhariak - I have followed your steps 5 times and I am still unable to get the update pushed to my lumia 900. I am on Rogers in Ontario. Zune still states I am up-to-date with 8107. Any other ideas?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
So just to confirm...

You checked for updates and it said no new ones

You then changed away from the update tab, and then went back and unhooked your network cable after exactly 2 seconds?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Cypz00:
Yes. That is the steps I followed.

Edit: I tried a 2 more times and it actually worked on my final attempt. Installing 8112 right now. Then hopefully 8773 works on the first attempt.

Thanks.

8773 worked on the first attempt.

Thanks again. :good:
[Nokia Lumia 900] sinnercrono:
Quick question

Im in the same boat as you guys in respects to the purple tint issue i have given up on it now ... And dont even get me started on the network setup app .. But i just had a quick question for you guys i have followed said steps by the poster and it worked like a charm so thankyou sir however flip to silence does not work ... Anyone else having this issue .. Im on a unlocked rogers lumia 900 on bell atm any replies or help would really help. Thanks in advance guys :D
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Glad to hear bud, glad I could help :)

I'm pretty upset... As far as I know the "flip to silence" feature is a firmware feature (ie. Isn't really part of Tango update, more of a software that runs on hardware update)...

If we got the fix for the purple screen, that would have been a firmware update. And there's a large possibility it would both have fixed the purple screen, and provided the flip to silence feature.

UPDATE: Just wanted to let you guys know, I've been regularly shooting tweets back and forth with Nokia... Super friendly to deal with so I'm hoping that they will be able to get the ball rolling. I'm hoping this is just miscommunication, or maybe they will budge Rogers along to release the Purple Screen fix firmware (if Rogers its withholding it).
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
I tweeted Rogers too and they said they are still waiting on Nokia to provide the firmware. Nokia on the other hand never replies to my tweets asking about this.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Interesting... Very very interesting...

Nokia has mentioned a bunch of times they provided all the providers a fix... And as I've mentioned before in numerous other threads, I even read that the President of Nokia America came out and said that Rogers has the fix and just need to approve it...

I doubt Nokia would withhold a fix from providers, especially since they want to sell their product... I have a hard time believing that Rogers hasn't gotten the firmware...
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Forgot to mention too that Rogers said that they are looking to release the fix by the end of July. It's one big mess to say the least. Each party dumps the responsibility on the other.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarthur44:
I was hoping that S Voice would support location based reminders. Something like "Remind me to call Mom when I get home" where it would pop a message up on my phone when I got home. But it appears that the reminders are justs tasks set to a certain day.

I also tried "Remind me to call home in an hour" and it set a task to "Call home in an hour" on June 27th.

Is there a way to get this to work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] themightycat:
Ooh that's a nice idea. Sounds too complicated for S voice to do though. Maybe 3rd party app in the future.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] circuit.007:
Need to wait a little longer, Google now is coming..
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 1buprofen:
Try this again. (Maybe try minutes instead of hours or specify one hour instead of "an" hour. Last night I was testing S Voice and set a reminder to drink beer in 5 minutes. It worked as I thought it would.

I would test again now, but I'm in a meeting :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Eddie Bombay:
Google Now has that
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jfdebo779:
I have used it time set reminders at a specific time and so far it has worked flawlessly. Fits my needs perfectly.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] AnarchoXen:
Reminder, Drink Beer, Five mins.

Task: Remind India 5 mins. :p

I talk funny but the memo worked.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarthur44:
You guys are right, it was the way I asked it.

The format follows:

Reminder, Subject, Time

So I should have said:

"Reminder call home one hour"

Location based reminders would be nice as well but as people have stated it will come with Google Now.

Thanks all.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matlk:
Im looking for an app that will do the following:

log the battery percentage at set intervals.

(for instace, every 10 mins it would take note of the percentage of battery left.)

Im having problems with the battery in my epic 4g and I think that an app like this would help me diagnose the problem.

The default battery monitor app kind of does this, however it doesnt record the actual times (to my knowlege) it just shows a line graph.

The battery is draining at about 15% over the course of an hour.

UPDATE: A big thanks to user: JR67 for suggesting "Battery Monitor Widget" This does exactly what I was looking for.

EDIT/UPDATE:

So, im making some progress trying to find out whats wrong. I put my phone on airplane mode for over an hour and when I checked it again the battery had not dropped a single percent, as opposed to non-airplane mode, which was taking about 10-15% in that same time period. I suspect that there is an app or two that are contancting a server a little too often. Im going to keep an eye on my data use to find out what could be using it. I dont think that I have any third-party apps that could be doing this so I think it is something default in CM9. I'm going to keep updating this with more info as I figure it out. When I get to the bottom of this I might start a new info thread with the details of whats going on (in the EVO 4G forum)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
Take a look at Battery Monitor Widget. It will log battery stats at set intervals. You could also take a look at Battery Monitor. It keeps track of how long your battery remained at a certain percent.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matlk:
Cool I just flashed cm9 and it seems to help a bit, I'll try the widget and see what up. The sprint store said the battery was fine. I also underclocked the cpu to .8 and that seems to help. Im also thinking it might not be sleeping properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
If you think that your phone might be having sleep issues then you should use BetterBatteryStats.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

I would use Battery Monitor Widget as a diagnostic tool and would only enable the monitoring/logging when I'm having battery issues. It'll cause wakelocks when it reads the battery stats.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matlk:
I think I have the problem 'solved'. As soon as I turn off all mobile(3G) data the battery is fine. loosing 1-3% per hr. I wonder why the data is taking so much...
[HTC Rezound] elan5:
Hello. I am a fairly new droid user, and I rooted my phone about a month ago. I ran on CleanROM 4.3 (ICS) until 3 days ago, when I decided to upgrade to 4.5. Without thoroughly understanding the difference between S-OFF and S-ON, I used the wrong method of installation and my phone is now seemingly bricked. I have tried removing the battery, plugging into a wall charger, and holding down the power button and volume down button simultaneously, to no avail. If I plug it in (with the battery) into my computer via usb usually adb will show the device on my computer (adb devices). Sometimes (and this is quite sporadic,) I can boot into recovery or bootloader using adb commands. When I am unable to, there is no error, and the phone simply stays turned off. I am now attempting to install RezROM ICS v3.3, but my phone will not boot into recovery. What can I do to restore my phone? Also, the orange light that indicates charging is almost always on, but sometimes upon plugging the phone in it turns on for a few seconds and then off. I am using CWM for recovery, and I have read about it causing problems for other people. I am aware that my phone's battery is very low, and this is likely causing additional problems. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Are you S-ON or S-OFF? If you are S-ON and flashed an S-OFF rom you need to flash the kernel via HBOOT since it didn't get flashed in the recovery. If that doesn't work, download and run one of the PH98IMG.zip files which will restore your phone to factory settings, be careful because if you are S-ON and you flash one with a radio image that doesn't play well with your phone you can't go back, on go forward. My suggestion would be to flash the Gingerbread one.
[HTC Rezound] elan5:
I am S-ON, and I cannot download anything via HBOOT because I get an error saying my battery voltage is too low.. Where can I find one of the PH98IMG.zip files that will restore my phone to factory settings? I attempted to installed RezROM ICS v3.3 just now and I was able to flash the zip, but I cannot complete the installation because I am unable to proceed with the installing in bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
have you tried to do a full wipe on recovery? then flash any rom of your preference.
[HTC Rezound] bgechka9:
So yea phone wont boot or charge or do anything. No a single screen will turn on i press the power button and it just stays the way it is dead. Im pretty convinced that i bricked it since i cant get to anything. All i was doing was making a backup and then when i went to flash the zip file it said no sdcard. So i did what i always do with this error bull the battery take out sdcard put it back in and go back to recovery to try again. Except this time it wont power back on into anything. Is there any hope for me?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
What recovery did you have installed?
[HTC Rezound] bgechka9:
i had amon ra recovery i know there were problems with cwm but i had amon ra and i cant get to it either
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Leave the battery out and make sure it is unplugged from USB. Do that for like an hour.
[HTC Rezound] bgechka9:
ok ill try that and get back to you.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It probably isn't dead. I have heard this happening before and leaving it without the battery or USB connection for several hours fixed it.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Same concept as with computers I assume. By leaving it disconnected it allows all the capacitors to drain which means anything funky going on with the phone should "reset"

[Galaxy S III Accessories] LinxuSx:
After going through quite a few cases, just got myself the INCIPIO NGP case in black as well. I finally found a case that I love!

I was looking for something that was thin, covered the whole back, and wrapped around to cover the front glass from touching surfaces. Also wanted something that felt nice. This was exactly that. It makes the phone feel very solid and like a well built phone. It is a light and thin case and does not add any bulk that you do not want.

Highly recommend this case!!
[General Questions and Answers] amrando:
Hi all-

I didn't find anything in the wiki, and I couldn't find a directly-related forum- where would I look for or ask programmers about having a custom app built for a mid-size company that will need ~40-100 users?

We have an existing app on the Blackberry but as we are looking to switch to Android later this year, the BB developer has told us outright they do not intend to port or build for Android. :silly:

It is fairly basic functionality similar to that seen in numerous other Android apps; but these existing Android developers want tens of thousands of dollars to make simple modifications to their functionality. So I'd like to investigate whether we could just have something built from scratch ourselves, and then we own it outright.
