Browsed through the thread and seems things got a leeetle off topic, but @OP:

Running 1.85, stock, rooted, bootloader still locked so no custom ROM. Rooted my phone and installed MinFree just now at work (slow Thursday, LOL). I can update after I've spent more time with it, but I have to say I can see that it helps already. I'm using the "mild" preset on MinFree.

My rather basic test consists of typing half a text, switching to my calendar, playing Scramble with Friends before pausing halfway in, and then switching among these three apps. If your HOX is like mine, by default if you paused a game of Scramble to read a text, by the time you switched back, the Scramble game would have closed and you'd end up at the main Scramble screen and have to click back into the game to resume. I can happily say that I can now switch between text, my calendar, and Scramble without losing progress on any one item. :D

I'm not a heavy user so being able to switch between two or three apps is good enough for me. Next test... can the HOX play music/ youtube while texting? GASP* Dun dun dun.

Kind of sad that HOX's multitasking is so bad that the highlight of my day could potentially be finally being able to listen to a song on youtube while texting a friend...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I don't think YouTube will ever play in the background when another program is in the foreground. At least that's my understanding of how it was designed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ddubs:

Well, I can confirm that MinFree isn't making that happen for me. Still have to do a bit more testing, but MinFree is somewhat helping music apps play in the background without automatically shutting off after 30 seconds. Right now I can get a song (via Songza app) to play for the entire duration, but it seems to somehow time out at the end and I have to reload the app after every song. ): Running for 4 minutes in the background is definitely better than only for 30 seconds I suppose...

Hello all,

I have just got myself an Archos 80 G9 Turbo (1.5GHz, 1GB RAM) with the 250GB HDD. It is mainly going to be my car media center/SATNAV to replace my A5 500GB.

Once I got it I upgraded to ICS and installed my favorite player PowerAMP and whenever I start playing a track the music stutters and skips a lot. It is practically unusable. It cannot play even 1 straight track.

What do you guys think my problem is? Any ideas?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
Sadly this is a generally how the G9s run. Especially the HDD version. You could try a format in recovery and then flash 4.0.7 (downloaded from archos.com)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FOXTEiN:
Well, that means I have taken the wrong decision buying it. Is there anything to do to avoid this happening? I though the Turbo 1.5GHz 1GB RAM would be fast enough for my needs. Silly me.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancewindew:
Does it skip using the Music App that came with the Archos?

There was a discussion (can't remember if it was on XDA or ArchosFan forum) that said only a handful of music players work correctly with the HDD.

PowerAMP was one of the ones that had troubles with the HDD.

Edit - Found the Post, it includes some music apps that work well with 250GB models. The post suggests gonemads player or rockbox as alternatives: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=62440
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FOXTEiN:
Thank you very much lancewindew. This is very informative.

Do you guys think that I might kill the spin up time if I change the HDD to an SDD type. I've seen people here do that, but they were not speaking about MP3 players, they were looking for pure access speeds/battery gains.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
I have heard great improvements switching to a SSD, wouldn't hurt if you can do it right

Hi, I'm running ICS slim and when I'm listening to audio through my bluetooth connection the moment screen turns off so does the bluetooth..

I went through my settings but there's nothing connected with bluetooth & screen off

any ideas how to keep bluetooth on?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aduka:
Which player do you use? Maybe it's setting the player. It can also be used for deep idle.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okoolo:
happens in both winamp and tunein radio, so I doubt it's player related. Do you gyys have the same problem or is it just me?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aduka:
Do nandroid backup and try other ROM.

Maybe you use power saving setting on ROM control? What the ROM are you use?
[Networking] coydroid:
I'm looking for ways to be able to use my little Android Tablet for internet access using a cheap DIAL-UP account. I was poor before my home was robbed; I'm now really and truly poor. I just need to be able to sell some of my possessions on EBay and post resumes, nothing fancy. I'm trying to be spared the gas expense of driving to the library . . . just to log in to the internet on their WIFI with my tablet. Oh and, my PC is on its last legs, so I really don't want to tax its dying motherboard beyond making an internet connection . . . and then feeding it to my little Tablet. :rolleyes:

I've never done anything with ethernet before, but could something like the

TRENDnet TEW-687GA (450 Mbps) Wireless Router be a solution until I can afford broadband? I guess what I'm asking is: Can a telephone landline be plugged into any of these routers, or do they always have to be cable/DSL?

My Android Tablet has Bluetooth, but I don't think that's a dialer (?). Please forgive my ignorance, I really don't know where to begin to ask.

Thank you guys.

[Networking] tshephard:
Theoretically sure, practically no.

Phone modems had serial (maybe USB) connections to computers because they needed to be controlled - told what number to dial, etc - where as DSL/Cable modems are controlled by the ISP end (by MAC).

Ask a neighbor - I see up to 20 networks in my WiFi list!
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Here is the thing, I am not switching to a friggen iPhone or putting out that line of how much better everything is over at the Andriod camp. I am not abondoning Micrsoft forever becuase blah blah. In fact, I will say this about Microsoft, nobody and I mean nobody comes close to how much money Microsoft has dropped on partners like myself. Apple, has millions sitting around... how much will they spend supporting partners? Google? That being said, I am definately not in the camp of hate Microsoft. I want to see Nokia succeed, I like the product.

What I do not like is the support on the MMS issue for MVNO's. I have been told by Nokia directly, I did not have the latest firmware... when I do, and that I should plug it into Zune. Then twitter support is talking about LTE problems with network setup. Forum Nokia moderators claim network setup is coming out... then another moderator jumps on and claims the LTE issue after several weeks of Nokia silence. What makes it worse is the 800 and 710 (non LTE phones) have the same issue.

Nobody promissed me MMS would work on another carrier like an MVNO, but the dishonesty is really getting to me. I could have picked up a Titan II and this would be a non issue. Nobody promissed me it would get 8 when I bought it and I could care less. The lack of honesty from Nokia, has a very patient customer looking for the exit. I may be selling my phone here real soon if something does not change. I am definately uncertain how I will look at Nokia in the future. Wife has a 710 (No network setup) and between the Radar and 710... at this moment I am leaning back to the Radar as a better phone. I have always been an HTC user and the Lumia 900 was the first Nokia I have had in a very long time. This should not be a WP7 bashing thread but I am sure that will rear its ugly head... just wanted to voice an honest issue with integrity.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Gave up and posted on CL

[Nokia Lumia 900] yaiba60:
The majority of those who are b1tching against MS and Nokia, like me, are in fact people who would very, very like to see the blossoming of WP. Yet, we were left off the bus. Those who have left the bus for real, they never looked back and never complained (because they couldn't care less). I had sided with WP because it was different until the calendar hit 6/20/12. I had been all excited about the L900 which would shadow the hateful iPhone and fragmented Android yet I, and others, were given a middle finger by MS. Nokia's comfort stick just isn't enough although their hardwares are beautifully crafted and their free navigation is superb.

WP7.5, smoked ~100k (or 10k?) devices iPhone and Android combined, before running out of gas and stalled :crying:
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Wrote this big long thing, but ultimately you are missing the point and going down that road of get left off a bus that has not even arrived. If you can't smoke an Andriod user or an iPhone... that would be like admitting you ride in a wheelchair and only say your name... "Timmy"
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Those that are jumping ship because they feel slighted by WP8 vs. WP7., were never on board in the first place. It's called progress. And I look forward to getting my first WP8, after I grow tired of my L900. Which will be well after November 2012.

Ha ha exactly! I am just trying to get a Titan II... they have a network setup app... you can get it unlocked and damn that 16MP cam is calling me photosynth outta be fantastic with that. The Lumia 900 is a fantastic phone and my gripe is with the honesty of support.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
My wife has went through two devices and she was finally fed up with the phone when it completly stopped cellular and data transmission today, she went a picked up an iphone today for $35 brand new from ATT. Nokia really needs to get this network issue under control, how can u expect to please customers when the phone doesnt work. Sometimes I miss my DVP.

I may be looking at Samsung or Lenovo next if Nokia doesnt get their act together seriously
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
this is probably stupid, but, what network issue?
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
People need to chill a bit. Everyone getting all butthurt over not getting wp8 or because of some hardware issues like Nokia is the only company that has these problems.

Plenty of people with iPhones also have hardware issues, battery problems etc. Apple announces new software for the iPhone and intentionally leaves stuff out of the older phones to force people to upgrade to get the new features knowing damn well they will work on older phones. Siri is a perfect example, it will completely run on an iPhone 4 without issue, Apple left it out on purpose so all the fanboys will go and upgrade.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Took a trip to Atlanta and had some data issues here or there depending on where I was like any other wireless phone. I live in Phoenix and know just about all the dead spots and how the phone will behave, but for the most part.. in Phoenix, you turn on data you get data and the speed is almost always decent. The Lumia is bar far the best phone... as a phone I have ever had!
[Nokia Lumia 900] jon654:
I want the network setup app.

I was also active on the Nokia support forum for the missing network setup app. This has nothing to do with wp8. Nokia refuses to release the Network Setup app in North America. On the support forum, the first said it was coming last month. Then soon. Then were quiet for a long time. Another moderator stepped in and said the issue was LTE which other people explained mvnos didn't use LTE and the network setup app worked before they pulled it.

Today, the moderator informed the thread that Nokia is not there to support, that's our job (on Nokia's support forum at least).

There has been talk about legal action against Nokia because they told people, myself included, that the ability to set MMS settings would come soon. Those people kept or bought the phone under false statements made by Nokia. However, Nokia was very quick to censor those posts.

I do think we need to have everyone who wants the Network Setup app to flood Nokia on twitter demanding them release the app.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
My wife had no cellular or data on her device, sim card was just fine. @ devices same problems. Im an early adopter and had the first batch of 900's and we had a serious data issue, my wife bought the device at least 2 months after the release and still had cellular and data issues. I still get time from time where mines loses data when it says I have 1 or 2 bars in 4G
[Nokia Lumia 900] charlyee:
So the update that Nokia rolled out the first week after launch, didn't fix the data issue? Sorry to hear that.

I got mine 2 days after it was launched and still like it as much.

Hey I'm on that forum netconcepts ha ha. I am with ya buddy, and calling support every once in a while... I will keep buggin em till I sell the L900!... or if the miraculously fix it by giving us what we need I will be happy... very happy!!!! AND KEEP IT!
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
Goodluck with that, Connection set-up only has settings for at&t in its database, You will have to manually input APN settings for your 3G to work but wont be able to send or receive MMS, Only way around it is a Stock ROM for the Titan 2. :fingers-crossed:
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Hmm... so you are saying even if the phone is unlocked.. with a t-mobile sim connection setup will not recognize t-mobile? I still have my account open with them. It recogized t-mobile in the past... or are you saying becuase it's a Titan 2 it won't?
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
I bought an unlocked Titan 2 for use in UK, Had to add my own APN to get 3G to work, No way I could get MMS to work as there are no options to add settings, Connection set-up had no information in its database for settings, You may well be lucky and find it has the US settings for networks over there but I doubt it, Check the Titan (2011) Forum and there are a couple of threads to check out there,
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
Not on my wifes device it was up to date.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
I don't think what happend to you will necc... happen to me. I have used custom and stock roms for some time now and have yet to have an issue with connection setup finding TMOUS, but you could be right as I have never had a Titan II before.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Was just reading through the posts on the missing network setup and it makes me sick to see L800 and L710's are given the same answer as the L900 "Network Setup not being available in regions where the phone is branded" That is just plain wrong... that is why this thread has nothing to do with hardware. It's the support coming out of Nokia is just wrong on this issue... flat out!
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Well as mad as I am at Nokia and AT&T I just caved and gave them business $70 a month unlimited mobile to mobile 450 min to landlines unlimited messaging and 3 GB of Data... getting true LTE. I caved becuase I received little to no calls on the Lumia on CL. I warned people in the ad AT&T people only... might had something to do with it. I also caved, becuase as a phone, this is the best thing out there. I do not approve of how Nokia is handling this network setup crap and it might be my last Nokia phone. You just can't argue with the hardware.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Do you folks really think Nokia is doing this just to piss you off. They are walking a fine line with the carriers. They can't "blame" the carriers, which would piss them off. So they have to ride the exclusivity wave till it runs out. Then you will get way you need. Put the blame where it belongs. The carriers hold all the cards. We allowed them to get bigger than life, and now we have to put up with the consequences.

[Nokia Lumia 900] Rcf686:
Exactly! Its AT&T keeping the control of the 900 and the updates and features. Nokia should have never said anyhting about the network app being available. Samsung and HTC also have the same issue with their apps and where they actually will work.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
I understand AT&T holds the cards on this one, Nokia has been busy putting out missinformation on this and it is not right! Also, wife has a 710 on T-mobile no network setup app...On the same thread, where 800, 710, and 900's are all looking for this app. Nokia has claimed it was an LTE issue, though the 900 is the only LTE phone in the bunch. Then claimed it's not availible in some countries becuase the MMS settings are on the SIM.. blah, blah, blah yet people have been chasing their tails on this issue (Thanks to Nokia) on every Lumia that is out and they want to use it on an MVNO. I think Nokia just needs to come clean and release it for the 800 and 710 and stop telling people to reset their phone... it does not work!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Ok, I will give you that. I guess what Nokia should have done was say absolutely nothing, as their hands are tied by the carriers. Unfortunately, it's Nokia's nature to be as helpful as they can.

Let's pause and take a deep breath for a minute. Do you really think Nokia, or HTC, or Samsung, want or need this negative chatter. And don't you think they would resolve it if they could, as quickly as they could. Especially based on the fact that setup apps do exist somewhere.

Nokia is a large company and I believe it shows some serious missmanagement. I mean you have to admit ... camera aside... the design of the phone is nice. It is a quality piece of hardware, so somebody at Nokia knows how to build a phone. A company wants to succeed and thrive, so no I don't beleive Nokia wants a PR headache.. but somewhere there is a dissconnect. As stated earlier I am now running AT&T (no contract!!)and the phone works flawless. like I said originally it's not the hardware, or Microsoft, it's the support...and that I think could all be a victum of a bad economy that can make even good companies fall or sign lopsided contracts that make them look bad in a desperate attempt to get themselves back out there.

Not saying never buy Nokia, just saying I don't like what has gone down over Network setup
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
But again I ask. Do you truly believe that a Nokia network setup app is not available for the L900 because;a) Nokia is incapable of creating one, b) Nokia is too lazy or busy to create one, c) Nokia like to watch their customers rant and squirm. Or do you believe Nokia's hands are tied on this issue.

Since the launch of the Lumia line Nokia has proven more than once they are the best, most responsive, OEM for customer support. More so than Apple or anyone else. There is no denying that. They are into this 100%. Everyone's job at Nokia depends on our satisfaction. This is a battle to the finish for them. That involves a lot of pride and determination. As with Microsoft, I will continue to buy Nokia products until such time as they cease to exist. I put all my faith in them.

[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
I completely agree with you their hands are most likely tied by AT&T... I am pretty sure they are behind it somehow. But lets say Nokia never got into trouble and their smart phones were still flying off the shelves. I think it might have given Nokia some bargaining power with AT&T instead of being man-handled.

That being said, there is a new promise to deliver this app in week 30... around the 20th.

Again what does AT&T have to do with the 710 and 800? The 710 is exclusive to TMOUS in the US. The 800 is on AT&T, but is sold unbranded. What do either of those phones have to do with LTE?

I have called Nokia support and yes they take an active roll... unlike HTC in supporting their devices. I have also been lied to 3 different ways on 3 of 4 calls.. One of the 4 ended with setting me up with a Lumia specialist. I know a thing or two about providing service that keeps customers around, I have a few that are over 10 year relationships. You can't do that and call it excellent support. It is ok to be wrong, but you can't hide when you are wrong. I think in this case, Nokia is playing a role of excellent support, but failing to deliver.

I am ok with if you can't agree with me on that, I don't think we are that far off
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Understood, and not trying to spat. But think of this. If Nokia made the Connections app available for everyone "except" L900 AT&T customers, what would that say. Of course, it would imply AT&T is the bad guy, casting a bad light on them. Nokia's contractual agreement may very well say that directing any blame towards AT&T is a no-no. Hence the $100 credit when the AT&T L900 was launched. Could have very well been an AT&T network issue but Nokia could not say that. The Lumia launch is Nokia's first foray into the North American market in a very long time and they are walking on eggshells. They might have intended to release the app (a reason for the misinformation) but then realized how it would impact their relationship with AT&T and put things on hold. This is all conjecture of course. Just offering another point of view. Sometimes large companies just do stupid things. But most often, there is a purpose behind their perceived arrogance. Things that only the fly on the wall could clearly explain.

In my area i was the first person to get my hands on Lumia 900 and i had the hardest exam the next day.

I love my phone but am really disappointed with the way it is ditched in under 3 months.

My issues with phone are GPS signal is way weaker than my previous phones

Nokia Drives is nowhere near Google Navigation Beta in terms of feature. It lacks the basic features such as Route Summary, Alternative Routes and The Turn after next (these features are the most important in LONDON cuz of the blooody traffic)

My phone freezes and i have to reset it 3 to 5 times to get it working again.

About WP8 i am very disappointed with Microsoft and NOKIA, specially NOKIA, Nokia should not have ditched this phone as it is bloody sexy and fast.

I just put mine on ebay i hope i dont loose much money on it.

well said... and the network setup app you guys are talking about in US is on my lumia 900 since day one, may 26 2012.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Thank you for proving my point, you have it... here in the US, we don't. Not for the Lumia 900, 800, or 710.... New promise for us that we will have it in the next couple days... will it show on the wife's 710 or even my 900... we shall see. Maybe secretly her 710 is an LTE phone, well since they claim that is why it was not availible here... or maybe it's becuase AT&T still thinks they are buying out T-mobile and they have control over that network and what apps are availible for those phones.

B.S. is B.S. you don't have to throw out your Lumia or say never again Nokia to admit they have not been upfront here... it's ok, they have been less than honest... get over it
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Thanks for proving my point. AT&T is blocking the app in the US, but Nokia can't say they are, cause per contract they can't blame AT&T for anything, even if it is their fault. Someone at Nokia said the wrong thing, and now they are playing damage control till either the exclusivity runs out or they can renegotiate with AT&T. Is it all wrong, yes. Just directing the blame at the wrong entity though.
