[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
Hi all,

I bought an app on market place (Weather master) couple of months back with account 'A' live ID. yesterday I did a hard reset and used a different account 'B' to register. Should i buy this app again? When I emailed contact us for Weather master they responded like below. Anyone know whom should I be emailing to transfer the license from old account to new account at Microsoft ? I hope i am clear :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Your purchase license is tied to your Gamertag (or Zune Tag; they're the same thing). Each Tag is associated with a single Live ID account, but it can be transferred between accounts. This is the only way I know of to keep your purchases when you switch Live IDs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
So what you are saying is I can go ahead and click on buy option which will be download to my phone without charges? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilesjuk:
You need to move your gamertag to your new login.

If you do that then login to the marketplace via a web browser then visit your Purchase History you can then click the link next to the purchase to send it to your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
problem is i changed my live from @hotmail to @outlook.com :( and below is what I get when i try to login :(

http://uploadpic.org/v.php?img=9vKvt37zcl
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
If you just changed the email account associated with your Live ID (from @hotmail to @outlook), and then reset the phone to set it up with the new email address, then you're still using the same Live ID (and the same Tag) and are therefore fine; nothing more needs to be done.

If your transition from Hotmail to Outlook.com resulted in a new Live ID being created, then you'll need to transfer your Tag to the new ID. I know this can be done on the Xbox 360; it may be possible elsewhere too.

I suspect that the former possibility is what actually happened. In that case, yeah you're probably OK. You can check your purchase history (under the new email address, the Outlook.com one) and see if it shows any of your apps. If so, then just re-send them to your phone; you won't be charged again. You can also check on the phone itself; click Buy on an app, and then the next screen should either tell you that you'll be charged (with the amount and payment method listed) and show a cutton for "Confirm", or it should say "You already own this" and simply have a button for "Install" or similar.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
Now let me explain the mess I have created

1) When I bought Samsung Focus, I used to lakshman.guntu@hotmail.com to register

2) I bought Weather Master App

3) When Microsoft announced about outlook, I converted my lakshman.guntu@hotmail.com to guntu.lakshman@outlook.com (Notice that I completely changed my address)

4) I did a hard reset of my phone and created a new ID lakshman.guntu@live.com (for different reasons) and registered.

5) It is a mess and wonder how to link all these account so that I dont have to purchase my apps again :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
If you "converted" your account, it probably didn't actually change the associated LiveID. You should be able to simply re-download the apps. It will warn you it you're going to be charged; you can cancel at that point. Have you tried any of the things people have been suggesting?

Here's the basic structure of Microsoft's accounts:

Live ID: The central part of your Microsoft identity. Formerly known by the name Passport. Provides a Single Sign-On (SSO) service for many Microsoft sites and services, and some non-Microsoft ones too. Uses your email address for ID, but does not necessarily use your email account's credentials. It is possible to change the email address that a Live ID uses.

Xbox Live / Gamertag / Zune Tag (all the same thing): One of the services associated with your Live ID. Used for tracking your online identity in Xbox Live (Gamerscore, reputation, avatar, etc.). Also used for tracking purchases made from the Marketplace. If you have a Zune Pass, it's also associated with this. It's possible to change the Live ID that an Xbox Live account is tied to.

Hotmail / Outlook.com: Email / calendar / document accounts provided by Microsoft. They are accessed using your Live ID. If your Live ID is tied to one of these email accounts, it can't normally be changed, but I suspect that the conversion you mention moved your Live ID along with it.

On the phone, you sign into a Live ID. If this Live ID is tied to a Hotmail or Outlook.com account, you can then access that account's email on the phone directly. If this Live ID has an associated Xbox Live Gamertag, this is the Tag used for the Games hub. It is also used for tracking your downloads and purchases. If you didn't manually create an Xbox Live account, one was automatically created for your Live ID when you began using the Marketplace on the phone.

Please try the suggestions that we have offered before asking for help again! Things like signing into the Marketplace web site with the Live ID associated with your new email address, and then checking the Purchase History. Alternatively, simply try to "buy" an app again, and see whether it asks you to confirm the purchase or simply says that you already own it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
His purchases are now tied to his @outlook.com-Address because previously they were tied to the @hotmail.com-Address.

But his phone is now working with neither, because when Hard Resetting the phone he entered his @live.com-Address which is not associated to his purchase history. He would now have to transfer his Gamer-Tag to the different Live-ID with the @live.com-Address. Is there any way to do this without an Xbox?

My suggestion would be to simply hard reset again and setup the phone with the @outlook.com address.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Ah... @StevieBallz appears to be correct. Since you created a brand new Live ID, you'll either need to transfer your Xbox Live account to the new Live ID, or you'll need to hard-reset the phone again and use your Outlook.com account. The second option is "easier" but of course you'll lose un-backed-up data on your phone again.

The alternative is just stick with the new Live ID and its automatically created Xbox Live account, and buy your apps again. That's probably not what you want to do, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
I am surprised why this is so complicated to move my apps from one to another ID. Microsoft should have given access to the developer to move licensing to their apps. :(

I dont want to reset my phone :( and dont want to buy my apps again. How can I contact Microsoft support? anyone has email id ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Out of curiosity, do you have any reason to expect to be able to move purchases between accounts? I haven't heard of either Google or Apple permitting this. I know Amazon doesn't. Steam doesn't. In fact, I can scarcely thing of any services that do!

I agree that it would be a great thing to have, being able to move purchases. I just don't see any reason, based on the state of the merketplace globally, to expect any such capability to be introduced.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsguntu:
Sorry but how do I move my purchases to the new account? I dont have XBOX with me. :(

Sorry, But google did allow this. before wp7 I used android and I directly emailed the developer which they transfered my app license to new account. App is PowerAmp for playing music

[Off-topic] SimonTS:
The only books that are likely to be free are those for which the copyright laws have expired, so they will all be 'Classics' which you can find anywhere by using Google.

If you are talking about more recent books then you are referring to illegally copying them, which is against the rules of XDA, just like software piracy.

if you flash this or just take out the ril.so file and put it in the system/lib location it will give you forced roaming by selecting automatic in the network selection.

Hey guys, I recently got a pico projector (mini projector) that I use on my nightstand to watch movies and stuff. It’s pretty cool, I can play Netflix through my S2 and it just displays right on the wall in front. Anyways, I was thinking it would be pretty awesome if I could display a visualizer with an alarm clock that I could use when I go to sleep. My main concern is that the visualizer can’t be too bright or crazy or else I won’t be able to fall asleep lol. Which apps can u guys recommend?

-=Mission=- Create a Backup rom of everything Apps/Settings/tweaks/background/widgets.

I have the latest Clock work MOD recovery, And I rebooted into recovery and clicked backup then I pressed backup again which created a folder in clockwork folder named Todays Date. But this folder is only 16mb I have a feeling that the info is in the blobs folder what is the point of that the blobs folder literally has over 2000 folders its not neccerally big in size but because there are so many files it takes ages to copy. My aim is to copy my backup to my computer and copying the blobs folder is just a massive ammount of time.

SO Instead of pressing backup this time I pressed create Image.zip

this time it created one zip file which is perfect but its only 569mb.

My original Rom that I flashed was 830mb and I also added apps so in reality this zip should be bigger then the original flash zip

My 2 questions:

1.Whats the simplest way of creating a a backup which i can transfer back and forth from my computer when I want to test roms?

Because when I flash a new rom I always wipe data and all cache so its a fresh install which means if I leave my backup on the phone it will dissappear which is why i want a nice backup which i can transfer back and forth :)

2. What is that image.zip consist of and I was told its flashable, Is it?

Please read carefully before you answer thank you so much for your help

CWM write yours backups in folder called clockworkmod\backup\ inside SD Card

Each backup made in CWM is writed in a diferente folder inside backup folder with a date of backup.

Don´t write your backup inside phone storaga, because every time that you do a factory reset the system clean this partition and your backup is gone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lost.soul:
By default it backups to external storage unless you press backup to internal storage(this is how cwm 5 works) and all your apps and wallpaper etc are in there.

However just a correction pressing wipe/factory data does not remove your internal storage it only removes the apps and settings not ur actual data ie pictures or songa etc..

Titanium backups apps not roms .. so if you flash an aosp/aokp rom and try to restore sammy system apps lots can go wrong.. cwm restores the rom as a whole including your kernel csc modem etc .. which fairs far better if you want to try custom roms and wants a stable build to come back to.

Hi all...

I couldn't find any information so I've decided to ask...

I know that new roms don't support Samsung Kies any more but how to copy contacts from PC Kies to phone?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] endrit9:
First of all i think your thread is removed soon...

If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.

And you can sync them with Google.

So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BigBadBoy:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...

What I did was:

- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )

- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.

- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/

- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...

If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saphirrot:
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] IanCC:
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.

You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.

Simples :D

Hello Guys!

I was wondering one thing, you can answer incoming calls with a button softey?

When I had the i9003 Galaxy scl, I remember there was an option that allowed you to answer calls, via home button.

You can have such a thing even on the dual?

With CyanogenMod 7, you can unlock the phone by pressing the menu button, then in some way I can set the buttons to respond more quickly?

Thank you all for your support!

Hey Guys, I'm on Viper One S Rom right now!

In case I want to go back to my untouched original HTC Rom I am going to use the twrp Backup i made before flashing the custom rom.

But where do I get the matching boot.img from my Backup, which i certainly have to flash when I'll restore?

Thank You!
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I don't have twrp installed, but in cwm recovery the boot image is part of the backup. I bet it is in twrp as well. Look inside the nandroid folder. (In cwm it's /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(timestamp)/)

If you can't find it there you can always extract it from the ROM that the backup is from.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Mathato:
When you do a backup in TWRP it asks you what you want to backup. By default "system" "data" and "boot" are checked for backup. Unless you changed these settings while you backed up your original rom. Your boot.img should be part of the backup.

Now I'm not sure how it works if you are not on HBoot 1.09 or lower.. As with higher HBoots you can't flash boot.img's through TWRP or CWM

If anything there should be a thread in development with the individual boot.img's or atleast an RUU you can extract the boot.img from.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
hi, I'm just curious about these..

really appreciate if anyone can answer.. :D useful to you too..

1. what does /dev partition actually contain? there is files in this partition that have 0 Byte size.. why?

2. on /dev/block, mmcblk0p13 is recovery; mmcblk0p8 is kernel; then the others?

3. is ODIN in /dev partition? is there any possibility to reflash ODIN if ODIN bricked? (via terminal or adb shell maybe)

4. can we backup ODIN as an image file (.img)?

5. ODIN, what is ancora.ops file? and why it needed by ODIN Multi Downloader?

6. RAMDUMP MODE.. what is it?

7. if we flash using ODIN, we will get count how many we flashed our phone right? is it possible to get it back to 0?

8. we smashed our device accidentally, why the phone suddenly dead or restart maybe? what does the system think?

9. our RAM is 512 Megabytes.. but when we look to the system, it just 351 Megabytes.. where were the 161 Mb gone? used by system? or what?

10. EFS partition.. why does it has Read & Write file system.. doesn't it dangerous?

11. hardware hacking.. changing the GPU, SD Card to bigger size, increasing RAM, is it possible?

12. AdFree and AdAway.. how can they get the rid of ads?

other things that I can't remember..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MyDeSTiNaTe:
Q8 The battery may be vibrated or loosen in the process

Q9 Yea the RAM is used by system(eg video recording) & GPU

Q11 Some of the hackings are available, such as CPU OC, increasing available RAM is possible too, COW had made it up to 359MB in MOAR, but I don't think increasing SD card's size is possible

Q12 This one I don't really sure, but it may break the ads mechanism, or resize it as lucky patcher did

I only can answer a few, hope it helps, and please correct me if I said anything wrongly
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] XR-7:
There is file in Linux called lmhosts that contains fixed assignements of host names / URLs to their IP adresses.

Normally, those IP adresses are delivered by your DNS server, but if the system finds a matching entry in your hostfile, it uses this instead.

Example:

DNS server says: company.com/BigAdBanner.gif stands for 209.85.......

Your modded hosts file says: company.com/BigAdBanner.gif stands for 127.0.0.1 (which your own device, therefore ad cannot be loaded).

So essentially, those AdBlockers have Lists (or regular expressions) of all the URLs where Ad-Banners etc are stored remotely and instruct to system not to load any data from those.
