[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza9075:
What you fail to see is that android is riddled with issues due to its openness, it is suffering in exactly the same way WM did, you may laugh of WM but android owes its roots to WM. Apple and MS saw the issues, and did something about it.

Yes that restricts you, but you and those like you, are a tiny minority, simply put they have bigger things to worry about, and that is average jo an jane blogs. they do not need that level off access and giving it to them is one of the reasons 10,000s of computers out there are nothing but bots used for DDOS attacks

Remember, WM was slated for being buggy and slow, the reality was far from that, but the networks and OEMs had so much control over the OS they literally screwed it sideways and the magic effect was that they didn't even get the blame, MS did! (ring any bells with android!)

Why didn't WP take off as well as it could have? easy, because firstly it didn't have cool roots to an ipod, secondly because MS tightened up on the OS so much it pissed off the networks, im sorry to say, its little to do with apps and side loading, that's just the first thing people think of when they are talking about something they know nothing about.

Networks like to do things their way and I think you will see their influence in WP8 a lot more, and because of that more than anything else, the networks will like it more, if they like it they will sell it, then you will see a larger uptake in it and thus more apps

anyhow, that's off topic, fact is this, security will only get tighter and rightly so, as much a that is a pain in the arse for you an I, that is the reality, you may have perfectly legit reasons for full access, but I can promise that most who want it probably will use it for something dodgy, MS and Apple can not afford to have a time bomb on their hands in the shape of android.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntech3333:
I fully agree with you !

Just for the protocol: I liked WM very much and I never considered it as buggy and slow, but ok that's another topic.

The reason why Iam using android at the moment is quite simple. There was no satisfying hardware available for any other system. Iphones are useless, for WM almost nothing was there that could be used as a smartphone and WP was likely to be replaced by something else. I was waiting for years that some manufacturer releases a smartphone that has a 2.3" display like a normal mobile. I hate those laptops people try to use like phones with 4" display and what ever.

Since Iam quit unsatisfyed with the quality of my sony ericsson mobile, Iam looking forward to get a Nokia phone again. Moreover, Iam really no fan of open source software since compatiblity is quite bad and the functionality is mostly not really reliable. Iam a heavy MS Exchange user and I do appreciate nothing more than be completely synchronized with my phone laptop and everything. Only WP8 can provide that... So, Iam dealing with it.

can somone please try the Livejournal main page link on their N7?

this is what it looks like on the N7

i've tried Chrome, Maxthon and Dolphin browsers, both mobile and desktop modes and it doesn't seem to render the page correctly...i haven't accessed the site in quite a while, but it all used to work on Gingerbread and Honeycomb...i don't have an ICS device to test with, my Galaxy Nexus is also on JB and it also displays the page incorrectly

i'm wondering if there is some setting i need to enable (thought i've tried everything) or if it's just the site itself that's messed up

Can anyone tell me how to activate "HDMI TV out" in Aurora ICU rom developed by Dzo. Thanks so much.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
You can't activate it. The ROM does not have it built in and the phone does not support MHL. Only way is analog TV out through the 3.5mm jack, but that feature does not exist in Aurora.

The U8800 has a analog switch which controls whether to control the microphone or send out video. By default it works as sound only, but I will have to actually create a overlay like HDMI that sends the data to the correct spot.

Try signing up with an american vpn service. After that you shouldn't have problems.
[Nexus 7 General] mrchiggles:
Or give Amazon's MP3 cloud matching service a go, I went down that route (got fed up of waiting for google) and it works pretty well although does cost £20 a year.

Just want a general consensus about flashing tw Rom and not losing imei? What's the chance and is it best to stick with those for now? And I think I have seen people post that they lost imei after just rooting ?

Thanks in advance :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
The risk is low, but read up on it to reduce the chance of it happening. Most users are not affected, yet. Although the exact cause is as of now, unknown. So if your nervous, stay stock for now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
I read everyday and hope that someone finds a fix . I just haven't been able to shake the fear because people who just rooted have even lost imei
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 05GT:
It almost seems like the luck of the draw. I originally rooted and installed CWM but reverted to stock out of fear of losing IMEI. Decided to rerooted, CWM, and flash WanamLite.

Great ROM..

But like I said, it seems like the luck of the draw. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and only flashing AT&T based roms.

There's a link for Galaxy Tab 10.1 clockworkmod recovery touch as .img file to flash with Heimdall. But if I click on the link, the downloaded file is recovery-clockwork-touch-p4wifi.img, so it seems to be only compatible with P7510 Wi-fi only model. Does anyone know if it can be also flashed in Wi-fi+ 3G P7500 version?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mannu_in:
Hi, today while inserting sim card(with some force ofcourse as it was not going in easily), sim card stuck there and after half an hour hard work, I was able to pull the sim out. After that everytime I inserted the sim, phones says no Sim Card :(

I figured out that one of the sim slot pin is broke and its not properly making any contact with the part of sim.

So, I wanted to know if anybody faces the same issue and whether they have contacted the Sony Service center and any estimation of cost to be incurred in repair.

Or anyone got their phone repaired by simply soldering the Sim Slot on the motherboard as when I disassembled the phone, I found that the sim slot is soldered on the motherboard.

Any suggestions???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dragonizer:
I guess that you could do this:

1. Resoldering

Remove all the cover. Separate everything from the motherboard.

Desolder the SIM slot. Get a old SIM slot from a old phone(Or just get it somehow). Then Solder it, wait for it the dry and reassemble.

2. Turning the warped contact back.

Do the same steps as step 1. Then use a tweezer and gently twist the contacts back. But be careful, it may end up worse.

3. Give it to Sony

Only do this if it is still under warranty. Replacement of motherboard is very expensive,to the extent you would rather buy a new phone.

They will most likely replace the whole motherboard.. The price of the motherboard is approximately 80% of the whole phone normally. Backup your data first.

Last one

Buy a new phone. But first you must be loaded.

Hope it helps!

Try switching to a different browser and see if that solves the issue.

Been having problems for a week. It will say "Thankyou for logging in, NomadSpin" however the page is the same, no control panel, no log out button, no way to post. If activex filtering is on turning it off works. If activex is off turning it on works. I log out clear cache, history etc. (ccleaner) an try an log back in it happens all over again. Out of curiousty i did try and reset browser settings (3 times this last week). Suspected that would not help anyhow since xda is the only site im having this problem with.

Im having my second big problem with this tablet...

Have you guys used your gyroscope and if yes where, cause today I got mc3 from play store and started it, then i noticed that the gyro is inverted like by turning the device up and down it goes left and right and vice versa. I then downloaded a gyro test app from market and there i had exact same problem, it said in the description of the app that motorola XOOM has a problem with gyro that the x and y are inverted (exactly same problem).

So have you guys had this?

Overall im getting frustrated with this tablet due to problems with strange lag see this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774826 although i have posted that the problems were gone i re-noticed them today on for example mc3.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HypoTurtle:
I'm in no way a dev, but know a thing or two. The ROM is built/installed onto NAND, which is split into partitions, primarily boot, system, cache and data. And the boot partition won't be available to adb.

I d'loaded a custom ROM for the Galaxy Tab yesterday to take a look, and you can see the boot.img which can be opened to see the zImage. If you have busybox installed you do have some options to flash the boot partition on the fly and possibly able to pull it, or you can use something like Rom dump which I don't have experience of but should work.

(ROM I downloaded was an alpha jelly build and if you take a look there is a system folder which will be copied into the system partition and a boot.img which is copied to the boot partition, then there may be a cache partition, and any remaining space in NAND becomes the data partition).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepph:
Apart some dirs ( /system, /data, /cache, /efs ) that are mounted fs, and some links...

what you see in / is mounted by boot/kernel, or populated during init.

If you do cat /proc/partition/ you'll see a list of block devices ...

some of this are the FS you mounted, some are internal memory partition not mounted ... between this should be boot and recovery (i.e. the kernels of normal start mode and recovery mode). Between this radio kernel, bootloaders - pay attention .

This is what i know on my samsung devices, hope it works for yours...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclestoner:
Thanks. Now I see the paritions represented as block devices in /dev/block. I tried mounting the partitions that were not already mounted using filesystem type "ext4", and was only able to mount one of them. Assuming the other partitions have the main kernel, the recovery kernel, etc, should I be able to mount them? How does one know what filesystem is on the partitions?
