[Nokia Lumia 900] zrepiV:
Same - I tried it several times and it didn't work. I guess it won't update this way for this firmware (8779)
[Nokia Lumia 900] yiannisthegreek:
Am I missing something on the tutorial thread on how to DL the 8779 update? Where is this file exactly? Either I am completely blind or it is not there in the DL section...

Please advise...

Thanks...
[Nokia Lumia 900] tropolite:
Hey yiannisthegreek - suggest you watch the vid carefully - it explains it very well. Be aware though this option WILL FLASH your phone and WILL wipe everything. You need to reinstall apps etc. It works very well though and I can confirm mine took about 3-4mins and it was flashed, with 8779 and FW rev 12222 (Rogers).

Good luck
[Nokia Lumia 900] zrepiV:
Yup - I just flashed my phone. Wiped everything, but the purple hue is gone and phone is somewhat a bit faster (maybe a Placebo effect).

yiannisthegreek, it is pretty easy - you won't have a problem :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Looking at the links, they warn you up front, this may destroy your phone, and could violate your warrenty. this alone this alone tells you this is not the official update path. That means:

This is not for the faint of heart

You need to be very sure this is how you want to update

This may indeed violate your warrenty

You are so pissed with the Purple color that you simply cannot function

With Windows Phone, the consequences of updating outside the official method is still not fully understood. There are lots of people that say "No Problems". There are lots of people that also say " Ruined my phone"

No matter which side you agree with, both sides say, this is not for the newb or faint of heart. If you do not understand, don't do it. Look again at the video, very carefully. If you still don't understand, don't do it.

Don't be fooled by the update being on the Nokia site. Updating Windows Phone through non Carrier updates is still not sanctioned. If it was, the carrier would tell you to go there.

Just be careful....
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Ugh, still no update being issued over zune for Rogers...
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Reached out to Rogers and Nokia about the purple fix asking when we will see it...

@NokiaCanada said:

"The purple hue fix is coming in a future software update. -Jason "

@RogersNicolas said:

"Hi, it's a question best directed at the manufacturer. We only test and releases upgrades that are provided."

I've officially come to the conclusion I shall NEVER EVER EVER purchase another Nokia product again... Ever...

I've been waiting for this fix for months and months and months...
[Nokia Lumia 900] SlayerX:
Nokia provided Rogers with the upgrade last week when it was put on the Nokia site for all to download. Rogers is the reason Canada hasn't got the Nokia upgrades or the network setup software, don't let them fool you. Its absolutely Rogers delaying this.
[Nokia Lumia 900] lidyo23:
I don't understand why people just won't use Nokia care suite to update their phone. Instructions are simple enough that a caveman can do it!

But in all seriousness, just watch the video. I'm on the 8779 is with 12222 firmware. No problems whatsoever ( my phone did suffer from purple hue)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I don't want to break the update thingy... I've read that using those methods can interfere with future updates... While I know there will always be the capability to do a manual flash like in the tutorial, I don't always have the time, or want to bother with that.

As far as I'm concerned, I paid full pop for this phone, and figure I should have a working phone with no issues, or at least have an easy way of fixing issues that don't require me to go out of my way, install applications, and play with flashing firmware...
[Nokia Lumia 900] apollo15rover:
I hear you. Cab updating my Lumia 800 to Tango became nightmare - the firmware installed, but not the language packs, so almost bricked me. What saved me was reflash with Nokia Care Suite. Initially used Tango from another product code which I renamed to my phone, and it worked, but I knew that would kill Zune updates and banish me to using NCS for any future updates. So I found my product code, went back to Mango - since it's from Nokia, it did restore all of the original language packs and firmware, so several days later, using the disconnect trick, that phone finally updated to Tango using the official method and worked fine from there.

Now that I have the 900, it's nice to have NCS as a lifeboat - but I normally use now just to monitor if there are any impending updates for my product code and from there I just keep a lookout to do the actual update via Zune.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Has anyone got this upgrade through Zune yet???? (On Rogers)
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
It's out today.
[Nokia Lumia 900] EG8196:
Just updated mine,

btw, how many update did you receive?

I only got one, while some people have 3 updates

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Well, just plugged in and got update notification...

Too bad it took them this long and they lost me as a customer in the long run...

Thank god I'm not going to fry my eyes in the dark anymore when looking at my phone...
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Yeah my other Lumia 900 also got one update (the firmware). I am still at 8773 so no Tango yet.

Did you guys get 8779 tango on Rogers via Zune?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Yup,

Just plugged in this morning... Update notification "Nokia Update for Windows Phone"...

Took a while to do it. Right off the bat I'm noticing:

-Purple Hue Fixed

-Takes a minute to turn the phone off

-Have to press and hold the button twice to turn on the phone, doesn't vibrate to signal it's on

-When received a call, it didn't show the users LinkedIn picture like it did before (there was also a "X" on the bottom right of the picture frame)

-Touch is still delayed (there's a delay following the finger).

-Still tons of deceleration on sliding...

That's all I notice so far...

Won't be buying another Nokia... Ever
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Guess it must be magnetic interference for you Northerners, being so close to the pole and such, as my L900 is working great. Camera is better, capacitive lights stay on, auto brightness improved, and camera button wakes the phone.

Glad I got a Nokia. HTCs response would be to feverishly be working on their next new phone to fix the current one.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express Pro
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Noticed a few more things:

-Battery life sucks

-Now when you have someone on speakerphone, you can use the phone in your hand and not worry about triggering the "cloeseness" sensor.. In the past, I would be typing a text while talking to someone on speaker, and if my hand went over the sensor, the screen would go blank.
[Nokia Lumia 900] apollo15rover:
Have you checked your background tasks? Amazing how many applications creep in activate.

I was noticing poor battery life as well but then turned a lot of those off and life has improved dramatically.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
Zune wont let me update past 8773 and the "trick" to invoke the update doesn't work. I don't get it everyone else is getting 8779 but me and I have 2 900 to try it on and still nothing. (one is a replacement phone)
[Nokia Lumia 900] apollo15rover:
Question - is your phone in airplane mode and/or do you have all cell and data turned off? I don't know why this makes a difference but for me it did. Was very frustrated by numerous attempts to update. When turned all radio and data functions off, the update came right up next time I did the invoke..
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Same boat as you with one of the 900s I have. I had Wifi on but no dim in it and no update showed up. Turned off Wifi and still no update.
[Nokia Lumia 900] detox8907:
You should try the Nokia Care Suite method on the Windows Phone Development thread. That's what I did and the phone works great.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
Tried airplane mode tried everything. are there risks to updating via care suite? by the way i mentioned this elsewhere but for anyone who has a refurbished phone have you noticed if the refurb is a little heavier???
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Dude,

I can verify it is being pushed out via Zune... If it's not showing up for you, wait a week or two... Better to be safe then sorry...
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
I'm not going to screw with anything and potentially mess things up but it just sucks the for no reason my phone wont update. oh and im not alone which is even worse
[Nokia Lumia 900] bobzero:
Can someone capture the 8779 cab with wireshark and share with the rest of us?

instructions how to do it here:

"Then startup WireShark and monitor you internet connection in promiscuous mode. Enter filter: "http.request" (without the double quotes). Start to update your phone. You'll see all the webrequests it makes. You'll also see which cab-files will be downloaded for your language packs. If you have any additional links, please post them here so I can update this post and others will benefit from that too!" - Heathcliff74

thank you
[Nokia Lumia 900] EG8196:
damn, tethering doesn't work after the update
[Nokia Lumia 900] antoncoridian:
Anything further here?

I am quite concerned about you stating that tethering "doesn't work" after the update. I am considering updating to Rogers 8779 through Nokia Care Suite. Tethering is the MOST important feature to me. If it is disabled after the update, I do not want to proceed.

Please provide more detail on this, or if you have got it working, please reply and let me know.

Thanks,

Anton

[Nokia Lumia 900] antoncoridian:
After reading the forum, decided to flash new Rogers firmware, and internet sharing worked perfectly. Also, noticed a few improvements over previous versions:

1) Purple hue completely gone, even in low brightness mode.

2) Overall colour saturation is much better (less saturated)

3) Takes much better photos in "auto mode"

4) Battery life seems better (need to test this more)

Thanks again.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
I can't download the Rogers firmware from Data Package Manager. It tells me Download error when it reaches 99%.

How were you able to finish the download?
[Nokia Lumia 900] antoncoridian:
I had no problems whatsoever with the download. Downloaded fairly quickly to 100% from their servers, and installed without issue.

One note, however. The phone is having difficulty connecting with Zune since the update. Have to try several times. Can still sync media as usual, but no connection for checking for updates, etc.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aquanaut88:
try removing the Nokia USB drivers, reboot your PC, and reconnect.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 900] antoncoridian:
Thought that was the problem, but I connected the phone to one of my other computers (that did not have Nokia drivers), and it had problems connecting to this computer, as well. Sometimes, it would not even launch Zune (although I heard the Windows device connect sound), other times, I would get the same connection error in Zune as my main computer (attached image).

Any suggestions?

When I click on a youtube video link from Talk or GMail, it opens in Chrome, my default browser, and I frequently get a "Cannot play this video" error. How can I tell my One X to have the Youtube app handle youtube video links?

I'm rooted, unlocked on 1.85.502.3 710RD.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
There's a build.prop edit that allows this. The reason why it opens in the browser and not the app is because HTC had to remove that functionality in order to bypass Apple's patent. If I wasn't on my phone I'd link you to it but in the meantime I'm sure if you did a search you could find it. Or someone else will post it for you. Ooorrrrrrr you could flash CleanROM because it kicks ass.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] patrickdo:
I decided to just install CleanROM, so far fixes this issue and seems worth it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kenney001:
*FIXED*

I recently blew away my pc and reinstalled windows. Now I cant get adb to recognize my infuse.

Device manager says "infuse 4g" under other and "the drivers for this device are not installed"

I have installed the Infuse USB drivers from samsung multiple times, rebooted my pc, updated driver, etc.

I have installed kies.

I have flashed my phone back to AEON 2.3.6 and adb recognized the device.

I flashed back to CM9 and it doesnt work

I can mount my SD cards and transfer files just fine.

Before I blew away windows everything worked.

Am I missing a driver, do I have the wrong driver? Or does CM9 not work with USB debugging yet?

NEVERMIND I FIXED IT

New windows installation didnt have updates enabled yet. When I turned on updates it found the drivers and works. Carry On

[HTC Sensation] MDA_715:
I have been experiencing low internal memory on my Sensation and it is not letting me do anything with the phone (not receiving/downloading emails, no voice mails, Ive deleted apps that I used daily). Internal memory is usually around 1GB. I am down to 32MB. I have deleted texts, voicemails, apps stored on the internal memory and it will help but then the space drops back down. Can someone please tell me what is making the memory drop? I am not downloading emails, keeping texts, etc.

My phone is rooted and s-off. No custom ROM. I have 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0

I had read in these forums about something that can be done in regards to a script or folder. Something to that extent. I have tried everything. I used the make more space feature (clear app cache) and it barely helps. I did a factory reset but it deleted all my contacts and texts (I dont want to do that) so I restored everything back through clockwork recovery. I know there must be something I can do. I have ES File Explorer, can someone please tell me what folder to look in and delete or clear out (I don't want to delete something I am not suppose to). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] bigears5000:
Just a thought, do you have lots of clockworkmod backups, because they can take up a lot of space if you have lots of them.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
You could you could try going through each app you have and see how ugh space it takes. Also move some of them to sd card?

Many apps do not move to sd card well, and store their data on internal memory, like corporate email. And.the atachmeta.would be a problem. So go.through the apps and you should find the one Hittite on your storage.
[HTC Sensation] bigears5000:
One thing is sure my HTC is the shiznit tbh
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Moving apps to sd card had always helped me also I look in es file explorer and delete old downloads, back ups I no longer need, junk left behind from old applications . I usually can recognise what's in the folder by looking inside each folder. You will recognise a folder left over from old applications as it usually had the name of the app associated with it. I am betting you need to clear out some old folders. I hope this helps. Best wishes .

Hi!

I am overseas and my girl sent me a gtablet for me since I needed something portable and light..She got it off ebay for cheap...now I know why lol.. Anyway I am a total noob on doing a rom install. I have way too little time and a spotty internet access where I am so I need just to ask the forum gurus here my question and hope that someone will be kind enough to answer and ppoint me in right direction Thanks in advance :)

I want a rom that will give me access to google play, allow flash, and netflix and hulu to run(when I am in northern Africa the internet availibilty should be better lol so I can use these features.. Those are my main concerns for the rom. Can someone point me to a solid rom that will do what I mentioned before? And could someone please tell me what in addition to the rom I need to download and install to make work? I am using tapui 1.2-5699 build frf91 if that helps..

Again I apologize for being a noon and if I had constant signal I would look thru the mounds of pages here to find what i am looking for..sadly I do not have the access here to do reliably and we have to share what time we get here..so if someone here could take pity and ofer me a good solid rom choice that does what I ask of it and what ever other files I need to download(maybe even a ezy noob guide to walk me thru it) I would be forever in this sites debt.. It is lonely in this part of Africa and she thought this would be helpful..anyway..thanks for your help mates!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsrhokie:
For what you are describing, I recommend Frankentab. It is fast, stable, and does everything you listed well. I also recommend that you visit viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com . It has easy to follow instructions and files you need to make the switch. Good luck.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airabus911:
Which 1.2 version is it. They just did the 1.2.5699? upgrade via Viewsonic. It has some issues with rom installation, however if you still have the original 1.2 root version then Frankentab works great. Of course if your using the 1.1 build then you can take a look at HC 3.3. It has been discontinued but will fire up your gtablet just great. Super east to install with CWM and there are multiple video's on installation.

When you go into your bootloader, does it say "locked" or "unlocked?" If it's locked, go to HTCdev and unlock it THEN flash CWM recovery via Fastboot.

If you are S-Off, go into bootloader. What does the top say? Revolutionary? Locked? Unlocked? Relocked? If it says Locked/Unlocked/Relocked, you need to flash the Rev HBOOT.

Ok thanks for the pointers. At the top of the screen it says locked. So ill try the dtc dev route. I got hung up on the part when i have to install the sdk & find the files that I have renamed.

Went to the Sprint store to get it fixed, they tried and failed, got a new replacement handset with ota 5.07.651.1 already installed, same exact issue.

I did do a full wipe of user data, cache partition and dalvik before i flashed it.
