[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwimSwim:
Hello there. Recently, I somehow managed to shatter the glass on the front of my Lumia 900 screen. Not sure how that happened, but that's beside the point. What is the point the replacement modle has arrived. Yay, except for the fact I can't seem to get any of my data onto the new phone.

I have been using Windows Phone Easy Backup for all my back up related needs (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20052393&postcount=1). I tried making a back up and restoring the new phone, but that doesn't seem to work.

I've tried everything I can think of. The closest I've gotton to actually getting my data on the new modle was by backing up both phones, then copying the old phone's backup data file and replacing the new phone's back up data file.

Zune would being to restore my phone, but then suddenly stop and claim that it can't restore the phone because the OS versions are inncompatible (Even though they're both running the same OS versions).

I'm stuck, I've tried this plus so many other things, but I just can't get it done. Is there anyway into tricking Zune into letting use a backup from my old phone on my new phone? Please, while I am willing to do a screen transplant, I have a feeling the insurance company might have an issue with that...

I still have the old phone with the data intact. It still works fine, just somewhat unsafe to use because the glass is starting to chip and fall off. Still, I still have access to my old phone and its data incase that helps any. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Device backups are encrypted with per-device keys. Nobody has yet managed to extract this key, so you can't take a backup of device A and restore it to device B, even if they're exactly the same model.

Aside from your media (pictures, music, etc.), your documents (if they aren't too big to email), and the various items that are stored online (contact lists, email, purchase history), you can't currently back up and restore data from a Lumia 900. If we were able to root it, you could use tools like Windows Phone Device Manager to back up apps, and SMSBackup to do exactly what it sounds like, but both of those require more privileges than a standard developer unlock provides.

Hi everyone, I purchased new housing and a new digitizer for my xperia x10. I need to put the digitizer in the new housing, but what type of glue am I supposed to use? I've enclosed a few photos of the phone in it's current state. Sorry for the absolutely TERRIBLE quality, Logitech Webcam :(.

The best way to get your account removed is to post a few threads that's will most likely get closed. I would say post about 30 threads talking about Samsung and apple. That should get your account closed in no time.

Since the last update I'm having serious issues with my tablet and I'm assuming that they are related to the Update. The major problem is with the touchscreen that seems to be touched in a specific area (around 1 inch from bottom , portrait or landscape mode, doesn't matter)... and make nearly impossible to work with the tablet...

Said that...

I really want to go back to I.C.S.... ANYONE CAN HELP.... PLEASE!!!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurny:
Thoses guides are for people that have'nt installed the OTA JB update, the OP should make that clear in his guide. You cannot downgade from JB to ICS, this is a known fact. The bootloader changes when you update to JB and you cannot go back to the ICS bootloader.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mloc33:
So correct me if I'm right,I'm on stock OTA JB, since I can't go back to ICS to root/flash ROM's,what can I actually do now,unlock the bootloader ,if so why for, root, but what prerequisites do I take?

I'm new to the tab world so be gentle, ;)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurny:
The Asus unlock tool works with the JB bootloader so you will be able to flash a new recovery and some JB rom's, only one is avaible at the moment and it's Hydro.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mloc33:
So do I unlock the bootloader first, then follow the instructions in the OP for that ROM?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurny:
Download and run the unlock tool, then you need to flash a custom recovery with your computer. Then you can follow the HOWTO to flash HYDRO.

OK,cheers man ,I think I saw a CWM recovery in that OP. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] freedomispopular:
One of the things I like on my Note 5.3 is the S Memo widget that allows you to post the actual notes on your homescreen, so you can see with a glance what's written and you can just click to edit. Unfortunately, our Note 10.1 currently lacks this functionality. Sticky Notes HD Tablet Widget on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tremeric.stickynotes.plus) is a pretty good alternative. It allows you to have post-it like notes on your homescreen. You can open a note, or add our delete notes straight from the widget, and you can rotate through all your notes right there on the widget. The actual note taking has only basic functionality, but if you want to be able to jot down little notes and reminders and have quick access to them at a glance, this is a decent solution.
[Motorola Droid 3] jebise101:
Man the X860 is slow compared to my S3, this is the primary device for one of my parent and for them its plenty. But it's slow becoming laggy and outdated and I would like to flash a new ROM tpo make it snappy.

I was hoping for an official CM build, but that does not seem to be the case so can anyone of you recommend a ROM that works will Bell Canada?

Currently using Moto Stock rooted and bloat removed. Also can some one explain this safe strap method, is there no way to flash it like a Samsung or hTC?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Mavrom is pretty good. They probably just need stable and that should do it. And unfortunately we don't have a fully functional ICS yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
The Best Two GB Roms are:

Eclipse 3.0 - Almost no blur

Mav Rom 4.5 - The best of the blur

The Best ICS Roms are:

CM9 ICS Haschode NON KEXEC - It's fairly stable and quick. There is no hardware acceleration, so youtube gets a little laggy, camera is a hack and doesn't fully embrace the it's hardware, chrome does not work.

The 9/5/2012 CM9 Kexec Rom - Almost as stable. Everything works but Camera. The blutooth has been known to cause issues with phone calls if left on and not connected to a headset. Wifi tether also does not work at this time.

Kexec Roms: http://dl.hash-of-codes.com/ROMs/solana/ note CM10's data does not work stay CM9 for now.

There other ICS roms are great but I don't think have been updated recently.
[Motorola Droid 3] jebise101:
ahh i see i was hoping for a good ICS by now :(.

What GB Rom is the best I want lag/bug free as possibly, enough for a daily driver for a 40+ non-techy parent can use.

I was reading on Mavrom and it seem the best and it works with CWM which i am so very used to.

@jesusishere

Thats great ICS list so thanks, but can you please link to ROM threads? The ICS won't work as daily drivers because of Camera issues, everything needs to function Bluetooth could care less for. But video, games, phone/gsm, wifi, camera, internal/external SD etc are a must.

So it seems this phone has to stick to GB.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
Go Mav Rom for a non techy parent. It has enough blur to make it easy for someone to use. Also use safestrap. CWM has some issues with the D3. You can follow the latest development on ICS/JB with our main man, hashcode, his twitter.Hashcode. I do not think it will be much longer until he gets the Camera working. After that it's all down hill!
[Motorola Droid 3] dro3:
I have XT860 from Bell, Does anyone know how to unlock it ? I want to use it with ROGERS

oh i found unlock code just for $2.3
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
for best battery life try Maverick Rom, but v4.0. very fast as well.

eclipse 3.0 is faster, but somehow the webdock does not work :( and battery seems better with mav4.0

my advice: combine it with SSlauncher for a wonderful experience.
[Motorola Droid 3] jebise101:
why not Maverick 4.5?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
4.5 is overclocked, which is worse on battery
[Motorola Droid 3] jebise101:
thanks will try.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xufapemu:
The new CM10 for Epic 4G is great, if it had CIFS support it would be perfect. I'm assuming there are no alternate kernels for this yet. I used to use Shadow kernel for CM9 until the support was built in. It's nice to be able to mount network drives on my phone for streaming music and videos from the media server. Is CIFS support in the works for CM 10?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackal516:
Samba

have you tried the apps "samba filesharing" or "es file explore"?

I'm commenting without ever trying CM10. But I do know that both apps work great on CM9 Stable.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xufapemu:
I've tried samba, but it doesn't work with streaming some media. with cifs it's like it isn't actually streaming. i can mount a network drive on my sdcard, so that even apps that don't access network files can run remote media, like m3s and mp4 video. ES file doesn't work with mp4s well

http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/motorola-jelly-bean-upgrades/

somehow I feel "all" will not include our beloved Defy ^^

But still, sounds good to me... let's see which devices they'll really upgrade in the end.
[Defy General] billy0719:
wait and see
[Defy General] swapnil360:
All possible devices. That might not include very old devices like Milestone because it's hardware is too old for JB. But let's hope it comes to Defy as well. Because our hardware is sufficient enough for jellybean.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
you might not have seen the word 'new' before 'devices'. the defy is nowhere near new.

i really dont get why people still hope that one day motorola will care about the defy...

cmon, the defy was only updated to gb, not even ics, why would they care? and no, officially our hardware is not enough (according to motorola anyways)... just look at atrix (one of the first dual core devices on the market!), it wont get jellybean or an officially unlockable bootloader either!

sent from my jellybean defy...
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Update from another source:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...grades-promises-developer-editions-of-phones/

"Today, Motorola just floored users with an unprecedented offer: if you bought a phone from Motorola that launched in 2011, most of you will receive an upgrade to Jelly Bean. If, however, you're using a phone that Motorola decides will have a degraded experience, you will receive $100 in credit towards an upgrade. This may mark the first time that a manufacturer has broadly promised compensation for a lack of updates for all of its devices."

Defy was launched in 2010, Defy+ in 2011.
[Defy General] panhans:
I swear "most of you" aren't defy+ users.
[Defy General] bharaththeunique:
Being a defy+ user doesn't matter much. Just flash GB kernel and our defy is a defy +...with a few glitches with camera module that is.

But abt this news. ...even if we do get jellybean....don't expect a 3.0 kernel, which is what we want an unlocked BL for. Sony updated their 2011 xperia lineup with ICS ....but most of the phones with ICS still are running 2.6.32 or 2.6.35 kernels...
[Defy General] zakoo2:
yeah, but an official jb kernel would still be better than the current gb one.

anyway, we probably wont fit in the 'most devices'. so we will have a 100$ discount from a new moto device, yay! unfortunately i will never buy a moto phone again...

sent from my jellybean defy...
[Defy General] hackergnome:
erm it say they will 'try to'

so get back to ur daily chores... no need to get ur hopes high...

ill be suprised if defy gets an update
[Defy General] NishantM:
$100 discount is only for Verizon customers. Even right now the three new models that they released today are Verizon exclusive.
[Defy General] bharaththeunique:
Lol....u didn't read wt I said....even IF we get jb or ICS....it most probably won't be on a jb kernel...it will remain on 2.6.x kernel like with the xperia lineup
[Defy General] juried:
Even if jb WAS released for defy+, I would be werry werry wary of upgrading, as the rom would be locked down so tight again it would take ages, or never, to be rooted.
[Defy General] Kayant:
Yh i think you guys are right and a little something for people who still believe in motorola for unlocked boot loaders

http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/droid-razr-m-and-hd-dev-editions-bring-unlockable-bootloaders-to/

IF u care about unlocked boot loaders then I think you should forget and not listen to moto's words cuz they're just lying

I mean why do they still need to sell so called Bull**** developer edition devices if they have a unlock tool like HTC now......

It just makes no sense.

I think Defy has no hope but defy+ maybe..... But I might be wrong :p
[Defy General] Shubhamqweasd:
even if the moto decides no to upgrade defy+ , wht would they say about defyXT MB535, it is the same hardware except that front camera , they cannot cancel JB update for defyXT as it was launched in 2012 itself :D lets c ..

defy+ or defyXT .. anything will do :D
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
Unfortunately you're wrong, the Defy XT is a completely different phone.
[Defy General] Kayant:
That's true :D with its all power Qualcomm 1ghz processor :p etc....
[Defy General] labsin:
This was on a Verizon press conference. Is the defy+ on Verizon? I don't know. I think Verizon persists on the boot loader (as with the sIII). Because Verizon is an important reseller, I think they will keep the Verizon versions locked.
[Defy General] ppero196:
All s**t about Verizon. What about other markets?!

You can get retail Defy/+ for $400 here (original from official Motorola distributor), and locked bootloader?!!!! Seriously?!! Only because Verizon says NO in USA?!!

You don't care about other markets?!!!

Also i sent 20 tweets to Motorola, Motorola Mobility, MotoDev and Motorola Support regarding update for November and December (2010) devices!

Waiting for reply!

Verizon.........seriously.......
[Defy General] panhans:
Someone from the german android-hilfe.de forum wrote an email to the motorola support:

NO update for defy+!
[Defy General] popcorp:
This annoucement is just bad marketing joke from moto. Defy shall receive no update, it is just too old for them to actually do anything with it. They hope current motophone owners will buy new models because of discount.
[Defy General] Oeps:
We will see.

How long will it take for them to create the JB firmwares, a year? The do not have a good trackrecord in speed....

Hopefully the update will be available for International Defy(+)'s as well, otherwise no interest in a discout. Then no more Moto.

Now on CM10 from Quarkx on my defy+, JB makes it a new Defy!

Would love to see already an ics moto version on my defy.
[Defy General] iolinux333:
I'd be happy just to have official 2.3 on my defy so graphic eq was available globally. I have 4.0.3 on my RAZR now and IMO 2.3.6 was superior - unfortunately there is no way to flash back.
[Defy General] mapki:
Don't think the'll release update for defy...
[Defy General] ppero196:
Who cares...We have our amazing devs!

BTW...next device (in maybe 3 years) will be Nexus one!
[Defy General] odoto:
to be clear about that: I didn't post this with the intention to get anybody's hopes up for their Defys!

I'm pretty certain we will not see further updates for the Defy... and I wouldn't even believe we get one if Motorola said so directly, for that matter.

I just wanted to share the news for people to see that Motorola (or google?) seems to be evolving in the right direction in this case ;)

Of course we have to wait and see if words are followed by actions...

So relax everybody :)

[Android Themes] Ajj915:
There are many apps in the market that will change the look to WP7. Start with a metro UI launcher.
[Android Themes] sam5154:
The best metro style launcher is Launcher 7, it has a great customizatoin capablities, and even came with some live tiles.(email,contacts, calendar, gallery, widget tile). even more you can customize tiles.

here you can find the launcher and many nice alternative png for tiles.

also if you are on a CM9/10 or AOKP ROM you can find some winphone7 themes too. I can't find the link right now, but sure you can find it in XDA. just search for wp7 theme.

and you can find a nice messagind app, name Messaging 7. and a status bar replacement named statusbar+

if WP7 has only a single perfect point it is the launcher. It's about a month that I'm using Launcher 7, and surprisingly I found it even easier to use than usual android launchers.

p.s the launcher 7 is designed by an independent developer so it has some bugs. for example contacts live tile drains the battery at unbeliveable speed. ignore that live and use a static one.
