What happened to your other thread with your GB bootloader problem? Discoloration on recovery screen is a bootloader problem. It only affects the recovery screen and sometimes boot animation. That's it.

If you can live with that and manage your way through recovery as others have you don't have to flash the bootloaders....especially since you had problems last time. Which takes us back....did your problem get fixed?

And as a word of caution multiple similar threads is usually frowned upon...keep the issue in one thread. It makes it easier to help you. Be patient. :)

There are many things I enjoy about XDA forums, especially the Infuse threads. One of the things I like most is seeing a question like this, that I know the answer to and being able to help by answering. This time my answer is different... spend 5 minutes doing a little searching and you will know how to fix the rainbow in your recovery and what you need to do to flash cm10. You will also be able to answer this question next time it is asked, which will be soon I suspect. :)

I am an Engineer and not a programmer so feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

As you all know, the WP8 sdk leaked and features started popping up on the Web.

I am surprised that many of these features are very simple basic and I am not understanding why they can't be offered to Wp7 in the 7.8 update. I am talking about the sms backup, screen shot capabilities, multiple selection of photos, etc...

I understand that WP8 is based on a different OS architecture but these feature are nowhere so great and demanding in terms of code and hardware usage. WP8 apps may not be compatible because of the programming language, but these features shouldn't fall in the same category.

What do you guys think?
[Nokia Lumia 900] apollo15rover:
Agreed!
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
How many people from Microsoft have to say that more than just the start screen is coming before people get the idea that more stuff is coming?
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
Agreed. The reports I read said that the new start screen was the only thing they were going to discuss at this time. More stuff is bound to be discussed as we get closer to the 7.8 release date.

[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
I think the fact that we're seeing a bit of stuff that's not hardware dependent is a good indicator of what will most likely come over in 7.8
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
All of the WP8 features I've seen leaked from the SDK are very basic and nothing groundbreaking....its more or less just catching up with the features already in iOS/Android. All these features can run on 1st Gen hardware (except for the obvious ones..i.e. NFC). Only reason they wouldn't include these in 7.8 is a lack of interest in supporting older devices

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
All the WP8 features, other than multi-core support, can be ported over to WinCE/WP7 with some work. It is always a business decision, not that technological deficiency. If MS wants to continue supporting WP7/WinCE eco-system, it needs to devote significant amount of resources to do so. Given that this old eco-system (WinCE has been > 10 years of lifespan) isn't catch up with consumers at all (a lot of the features lack in WP7 actually existed in old Windows Mobile), it is kind of waste of investment in MS' point of view. On the other hand, the new WP8 core, based largely on Win8, is a new start. What you see so far is just a begining. There will be much more features and capabilities come to WP8 than you can ever imagined for WP7. If all goes out well, this new OS will be far superior than anything Android or iOS can ever be.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xuninc:
They're releasing a new OS that can only be run on new hardware, this happens in the computer world all of the time... And smartphones are basically just pocket sized computers... How come this question isn't posed every time a new computer OS is no longer supported on old hardware? It's illogical to complain about it when it happens on Windows Phones but be fine with it when it happens on Windows computers.

Things change, they're giving us better hardware and a better operating system. They're doing this because people like us gave them the incentive to expand the Windows Phone platform... We are getting what we wanted, Microsoft is showing no signs of abandoning Windows Phones, they're doing the opposite. Why exactly does any Windows Phone supporter have a problem with that?
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
Why complain?....because the 1 gen hardware can handle the basic features that have been presented thus far. You don't need dual-cores to run the same applications just with more customizable options. That's why in my previous post I stated there's no reason these basic additions shouldn't be in WP 7.8, unless there is a lack of interest in supporting older gens

If you compare it to PCs, Windows 7 can support very old hardware...by old I mean 6-8 years old. That is a reasonable span of time to ask someone to upgrade their hardware

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
What have you read that no one else has? MS has not, (again, has not) said this stuff was only for WP8. As you just mentioned, much of this stuff can run on the first gen products. But nowhere has anyone said, with any evidence, that these features are guaranteed to not show up on 7.8.

Ans before you continue to complain about things that are neither confirmed or denied, remember that MS is not the only company that does this. Apple is notorious for doing this. Example; Why can't I upgrade my 2007 Mac Book Pro to Mtn Lion? It uses the same processor fabrication process and features almost the same technology as the 2010 models, yet mine can not have Mtn Lion. It gets even more annoying when you consider the difference between Lion and Mtn Lion is very small.
[Nokia Lumia 900] truffle1234:
guys all those complaints are base less until microsoft come out and publicly say what we will have and dont have on the first gen devices..

for sure no multicore support, no NFC, no high res screen support...
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
This should be an incentive for Microsoft to beat the competition and offer similar support to their pc lineup. I hate how things are always compared to apple with Apple being taken as the God example.

If apple is terrible in this domain, this doesn't mean that other companies should take it as a habit and get away with it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
I don't think Apple is a great company. I've had my ups and downs with them. They just happen to be a really good example of "built in obsolescence."

I honestly don't think there is one person that can actually say they bought their WP7/7.5 phone based off of WP8 features. The WP8 v.s. WP7.8 changes nothing about how awesome you thought this phone was the first day you had it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Oh I am not complaining at all. The phone is awesomely amazing. It's just that some of the new features are too basic and still catching up to the competition that I think should come to 7.8.

If MS planned on doing that, they would've created some hype about it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
Never said anyone publicly released statements saying the features will be in 7.8, I said there's no reason why the hardware can't handle it.

And according to Apple: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ , your 2007 Macbook pro is compatible with Mountain Lion.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
My MBP counts as "early" because it was a few weeks before they made the upgrade. I got almost $500 off of the retail price so I'm not too sad about it, just confused.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Off topic: Running Mountain Lion on my 2007 MBP, breathed new life into this thing. Runs so much faster. (I did a clean format, not upgrade.)
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
Only difference i see with yours and the Mid/Late 2007 Macbook Pros is the GPU is slower. My guess would be to cut costs by dropping support for older hardware. But either way 5 years is an OK life span to be supported, not great by any means though. And i agree with you, Mountain Lion really isn't much of an upgrade over Lion so it does seem stupid to drop it. I have a early 08' White Macbook so mine is dropped also. I have Lion on it at the moment but honestly Snow Leopard ran smoother, probably due to the crappy Intel X3100 GPU lol
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
That's probably it. Stupid GPU.

But the thing is, I really don't see MS doing that to customers. AFAIK 7.8 is coming out shortly after 8, so it is very possible that MS wants to see what features people use most so they can focus on bringing those to 7.8. I just have a feeling MS is more in tune with their users than Apple is, but that isn't saying much. :P
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
Yea it will be nice if they include many of the added basic functionality to 7.8 that ive seen leaked from the WP8 SDK. I've seen lots of people commenting on different tech sites stating that MS would be wasting money/time supporting their older phone OS/Hardware, and to move ahead with the new OS.

I don't see it as wasting money, i see it as investing in customer satisfaction. If you keep the customers, that have invested in your platform, happy by showing you will support them....i promise you most of them will return to buy your new platform
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
The biggest limiting factor on WP7 is the sandboxed Silverlight Player that all apps required to run under. MS has to rewrite the SL player in order to add any new features. It is not an easy task. I simply don't see MS investing much into this dead-end platform, especially under the current bean counting CEO.

If you haven't noticed, most of the SilverLight DEVs responsible to much of the WP7 platform have jumped ship or moved to a new position in last couple months. WP7 is done. WP8 is all what MS cares about moving forward. As for existing customer's satisfaction, it's only 1% of entire smartphone market. If WP8 can't attraction more than 10% of the market share, there is nothing left for MS to do in Smartphone market. So, in that scale, existing customers mean very little to MS.
[Nokia Lumia 900] The_Vermonster:
Not sure where you got the 1%, last numbers I saw put WP at 2.2% globally. But the more important thing here is that WP is not only still increasing percentage wise, but it is increasing the number of handsets sold. Even if WP8 can take customers from Droid and iOS, MS will not ignore their 2.2%, because currently it is all they have. MS has to build a sense of trust otherwise no one would even consider WP8. They won't get a single WP8 user if news comes out about how they're screwing over WP7.8 users.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
There are many different statistics out there. 1% or 2.2% doesn't make much difference when you have Android and iOS pretty much own 90%+ of the market. And we are coming up to 3rd year of WP7 introduction. This kind of market share only means complete failure. Imagine if iPhone still only has 3% of smartphone market share by 2010, Steve Jobs will abadon it long before that.

Ppl already ignored WP7 and will do the same for WP8 until MS catches some lucky break. As for how MS treated existing customers, no one really cares about those 1% in MS' caculation. MS and its OEM partners are happy to step them over without spend addition R&D $$$ to add features for free.

Why do you think there are so many big names in WP7 dev teams jumped ship a few months back? The decision has been made back then and those who championed WP7 platform don't want to be left to face the disatisfaction of the existing 1%ers.
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
How much of a market share does MS need to not abandon a platform?.....Windows Mobile had around 15% when WP7 was first announced (along with giving WM users the finger). Sure Windows Mobile needed a refresh but why abandon the users with no backwards compatibility

So why go to WP8? What if the market share doesn't grow as much as MS wants? Is this new idea of an ecosystem enough to keep it tagging along with Windows 8/RT even if it's not successful?

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
Windows Mobile had much higher market share before iPhone showed up. When WP7 was announced, WM is already on death bed. The truth is the management in MS ignored the entire mobile phone market before iPhone (with very little investment on WM) because they don't see it can ever make any money for them. I don't see that view has changed much since WP7. No one knows if WP8 will succeed. But if by any luck MS takes the same approache as Xbox (which didn't make any profit for a very long time) and stick with it, it may eventually turn around. WP8's success largely dependent on Win8 tablet's success (share the same core OS and similar infrastructure). Most Win8 Metro apps can easily be ported over to WP8, not so much for WP7. That's one of the reaon why MS so eager to leave WP7 phones behind.

anyone got any recomendations? got my £15 to psend in the g store too lol
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TubbyHamster:
I think the note taking app to mark up screenshots of designs is an easy one. Skitch by evernote (on the market) is good for that stuff.

In terms of web dev stuf I search recently and downloaded a bunch of apps but can't speak to how good they are, here's a screenshot though. Maybe you'll be able to look them up on the market and see if they are what you are after.

Some are reference apps but I guess the useful ones are andftp, silveredit etc.

Wife and I both have SGS3 on '3 Network' in UK.

Been running lightning rom, she thought her battery life was poor.

I suggested she go back to stock to compare.

Used Odin on laid out settings.

Flashed [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4) - United Kingdom (BTU) [27-07-12)

No 3G is available, when I view networks it only shows 3 (2G) and other providers too all 2G only.

Flashed again to (what I thought was stock) I9300XXALEX_I9300H3GALE4_I9399NELE4_HOME.tar

Still no 3G.

Short of giving her my phone, can anyone suggest anything please?

MIght go back to lightning if it stays.

[Windows Phone 7 General] xsever:
I really hope some of these simple features get incorporated into the 7.8 update. This will give a lot of satisfaction to the WP7 users while not hurting the WP8 platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I have a feeling they will bring 'some', just don't expect all of the "software able" ones as they simply wont and shouldn't dedicate too many of their resources to the CE based platform.

The start screen is huge, and VERY welcomed, but I'm hoping some simple things like: new colors, ability to select multiple photos for deletion, new keyboard emoticons, and maybe ability to make backups on demand (and perhaps backup settings/game info & mms/sms to the cloud) will make it in. Maybe even the 'lenses' feature for Nokias lumia line. That stuff would be great.

Hello, Is there a way to power on the tablet with a button on the doc? Thanks in advance!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There are actually multiple ways...

1. Open the dock - the tablet powers on automatically.

2. Disable the Dock Power Save mode in settings - then any key will turn the device on.

3. Also, if you use a USB or bluetooth mouse, simply moving the mouse will turn the screen on as well.

Hope that helps!

With how cheap the hardware buttons are on the TF700, I've been trying not to use them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] klm1159:
Thanks for the information. Opening the tablet does wake it up. I had to disable the dock power savings mode to let the mouse wake it up. Not sure how much more battery this will take.
[Asus Transformer TF700] klm1159:
I spoke to soon. Moving the mouse doesn't wake the tablet up for some reason. I can press any key and it does wake up now. It just a basic USB Logitec mouse.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Interesting - I just assumed that a USB mouse would work like a bluetooth mouse (which *does* wake up the device when moved).

Come to think of it, I believe that the USB ports get powered down during sleep, so I guess that's why the USB mouse doesn't wake it up...

Maybe consider a bluetooth mouse - It's extremely convenient.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nooktablet:
is there a way to power it on without pressing the power button and without using the dock either? (i don't want to get a dock, i don't need it)
