For an WP7 WP8 noob, does microsoft have a desktop sync tool that would transfer everything from the old WP7 to the new WP8? including TXTs and pictures? or online WP7backup/WP8restore tool via skydrive or whatever?

about me:

I used my phone upgrade to get the T-mobileUSA HTC 8X for a family member currently using the HTC HD7. I know nothing about WP7 or Wp8, as I'm still using my HD2/Android multiboot. I searched MS's Live website, but it's just full of advertising and wp8 feature demos, couldn't find anthing about transferring between phones. MS mentioned something about desktop backup/restore, but it said it will not backup TXTs, and I didnt see anything for wp7 to wp8. Any easy steps or tricks I overlooked? Appreciate all the help. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] zaisaroni:
Just sync conctacts with google or microsoft, sign into the new device and you should have them all?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] atlaswing:
yes, the contacts and skydrive pictures synced up just by logging into MS LIVE, but that still leaves out SMS TXT and Call History.

How I miss PIMbackup CAB...

remember that? anyone know if there's anything similar to PPC PIMbackup in the WP7/8 marketplace? preferably free?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] IzaacJ:
I've got some ideas for an app that does backup/restore the content (texts, call history, game and app data. all synced to SkyDrive) for WP7, but it's scrapped due to my HD2 digitizer broke. And it would require the phone to be full-unlocked and WP Root Tools.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Ronsard:
Don't know if this warrants a new thread; if so, my apologies. I have an original Samsung Focus and am about to upgrade to WP8. Is there any way to transfer my SMS from one phone to another? I do have a student dev account, so unlocking the phone is an option if needed.

Please note I'm not concerned about transferring app saves, game settings, etc. Call logs would be nice, but not necessary. It's just my SMS I'm concerned about. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] IzaacJ:
Not to WP8 there isn't, at least not that I'm aware of. And since they haven't been able to jailbreak WP8 I really don't think it's possible yet.

[HTC One X] tatperson:
Hi all. My friend got the Jelly Bean upgrade on his HTC One X (Singapore, CID_044) and ran into a problem. The "Vibrate on Touch" option got disabled by itself and cannot be enabled.

Here's what he did:

- OTA update

- Factory reset (Option was still enabled)

- Installed Whatsapp

- Vibrate on touch option became disabled by itself.

Some other info:

- No root

- No S-off

- No modification

- Completely stock

Since I'm a Motorola user, I know little about Sense and HTC's modification to Android. I would appreciate if someone could give us a help?

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maazdraco:
I have an Xperia U running stock GB. My phone is not rooted. I can't notice any difference when BE is on or of. I read that BE1 does not work for unlocked bootloaders. I don't know if my phone has an unlocked bootloader. If you can tell me how to find out, I will be most thankful.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wing00w0:
Put in the dialer *#*#7378423#*#* Then service info and then configuration Trek last line is about the bootloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maazdraco:
Thanks but that is bootloader unlock allowed = yes. How is that supposed to help? I don't know about the bootloader but my Bravia Engine is not working.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vikirules26:
No difference found by naked eyes ;)

Its just a boasting of image quality from sony under a trademark i guess i found a difference ...zoom (pinch a bit) on any HD image on sony phone and other brand phone u ll find more crispness in sony phone when bravia engine is on ..normally it is not visible from eyes

Hope i helped u
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rajul:
Disable bravia engine open any photo and take screen shot now enable bravia engine and repeat process and expirience difference
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maazdraco:
Thank you for the answer. It works. I'm sorry to bother all of you. But It doesn't work as shown in the Bravia Engine Explained video
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maazdraco:
Can anyone tell me that does it really work like the Bravia Engine Explained video for you?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DigitalDreamer:
It's an algorithm that enhances the colors, edges and one more thing (can't remember).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wing00w0:
You only ask to know how to see if you have the bootloader locked or unlocked :P

Bug

When clicking Settings- Storage: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." Apparently, usb storage is set to mass storage by default since the PC detects both removable storage and internal storage, so no problem really unless you want to change the usb storage setting.

Good work FE!

Just wondering how will we be able to use the photosphere app since we have no gyroscope

Sent from my SGH-T959 w/ PA 2.54
[Vibrant Android Development] Uberzone:
No I think I cant use this version for now, almost all is great, but this lock screen is pain in a** . Maybe later it will be less laggy :)

Thanks for your job , FE , iam just waiting for minor bugs to be fixed and will use this
[Vibrant Android Development] dschumann:
Thanks FE! Install went easy, keep up the good work.
[Vibrant Android Development] ppillow:
Install was good phone is hella slow. Tryed to oc to 1200 and it restarted my phone lol other then that it works ish just takes me a hour to do anything (maybe not a hour lol)
[Vibrant Android Development] gunks:
Been using it for about 2 hours now. Works pretty well and most features are there and functioning. I am encountering a good amount of lag though, which is expected for an alpha. Thanks again, FE.

edit: I overclocked to 1200 and set governor to Interactive, also allowed purging of assets. In addition I noticed the Maps app was restarting over and over so I uninstalled it w/ Titanium and things seem to be smoother.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Wipe data.
[Vibrant Android Development] ppillow:
Maps works with me i just cant over clock or change the governor or it restarts my phone :P i uninstalled earth (O.o) and a couple other things but seams to work a little better and faster the lock screen is a little silly. Thanks FE cant wait for the beta!
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Assumed to but untested.
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
Havent tested. 911. GPS works for me.

I am looking forward to development where in I could get the blinking BLN working so that my phone doesn't have to vibrate when i receive a message or mail when I put it in silent mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpchopper:
So far so good, still can't get the swipe feature to work on the keyboard. Shows the trace but no words appear.

GPS works about same as in CM10.

Any solutions for the swipe keyboard?

Great work,

Already trying this as a driver
[Vibrant Android Development] CTown:
I think the American versions of the Galaxy S do have a gyroscope (or something close enough).

Here are some sources.

Thanks Pawitp and FE! Is there a phone that is just as old or even older than the Galaxy S that can still run the newest versions of Android so smoothly?
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
Although its "something close" its not a gyroscope, which is required for photosphere. Thanks for sharing this though.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
Overall this alpha release as smooth as cm10 nightly.

2 bug here.

- GPS icon not blinking

- Turn off Power Widget bug when switching Notification and Quick Setting

temp fix LS Clock widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Great work there!

One question though: Is Miracast supported? And if not can it be supported in principle? (it comes as a standard feature of JB 4.2)
[Vibrant Android Development] gunks:
Not even the Nexus 7 and 10 support Miracast... Only device that supports it is the N4 at the moment. Its part hardware requirement along with software.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Are you sure the requirement is part hardware? I thought that the hardware part is being taken care of from the client side (often with an HDMI adapter). There's word saying that N10 is going to get the support down the road, wouldn't that point to a software only dependency?
[Vibrant Android Development] gunks:
General requirements:

1- Wi-Fi: Ability to simultaneously connect to a router (B/G/N) and also a direct connection (5GHz band?) to Miracast peer (like Wi-Fi Direct)

2- Main processor: more processing demand

2- Graphics processor: Seems Miracast streams converting video to H.264 on the fly.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Potentially we have all three. Even if we are to have slowdowns doesn't mean it can't be enabled...
[Vibrant Android Development] gatorstew:
Not sure if I'm doing something incorrectly, but I'm only getting one option (Messaging) to add to lock screen widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] taurus193:
A fantastic work to be Alfa....even my GPS locks faster than before
[Vibrant Android Development] bigwilly90210:
Love the new features, mad props to pawitp for making this work and FE for bringing it to vibrant easier for us. ROM gets super laggy at random parts, super smooth for the most part. Just wanted to post here what they mentioned in the i9000 thread: changing your DPI to 210 fixes the clipping on the lock screen for the clock widget. It bothered me so i thought I'd share. Ha. Cant wait for more updates. Thanks so much for this guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
Seems to be working really well so far. This is the first rom that I've been able to get Madden 12 to work on. Temple Run played the best it ever has. Had no problem adding widgets to the lock screen once I figured out how to do it. (Added messenger, calendar and gmail - one per page.) Applied dustinb's cm10 gunmetal cobalt theme without issue.

Installed well , after 20 hours of using this, im having battery drain. BetterBattery Stats shows Location Provider. i disabled all location checkboxes and it helps.

Flashed from CM10 the original 10.1 that was posted here back before the 12-3 file. So it would have been the Alpha 1 10.1 file. Flashed gapps. Rebooted fine and went through the setup ok with no problems. Rebooted to recovery and flashed the 12-3 file and I get an abort message "E: Can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"

Please advise.

[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
I am on the latest 1203 build and I do face random reboots. Today I was video recording the performance of my 4 year old with camcorder 720p app. After about 10 mins, the video stopped recording and the phone rebooted. I now have a .mp4.tmp file. I tried renaming it to .mp4 and the video does not work.

Lost the video I guess. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Damnnn, the GPS on this ROM is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It locks in mere seconds and I dont need to worry at all about a lock before deep sleep because IT WORKS after deep sleep! :D :D :D Thank you so much for this wonderful ROM FE! :D I can get GPS to lock before deep sleep AND after, and I never need to reboot or anything. Seriously, this is probably the best GPS I've ever had. :P Semaphore test kernel makes the device even smoother, but it makes GPS wonky, so I'm sticking with stock kernel :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
May I ask what's so great about 4.2? I mean I'm aware of/about the gapps update but since I'm not using them much is there anything else of note quick would also be more substantial (preferably something under the hood)
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Like I said, GPS works really well. You also get these new quick toggles and lock screen widgets which I find are very useful. Keyboard has gesture functionality. Battery life is really good too. I don't think there is anything else that's really special besides that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Hmm what you said about GPS and battery intrigues me. So do they feel significantly better or is it maybe a placebo effect?.... lastly what about how smooth the interface is? (In my current 4.1.2 it is almost butter)
[Vibrant Android Development] gilroy_lh:
Does the GPS lock after DS without initially getting a lock before DS. Thanks.

[Vibrant Android Development] bartholomeuznight:
Dame battery life in this rom is amazing. The only thing is that play store does not recognize compatible apps as much as other roms does... No big deal tho
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
GPS is DEFINITELY not placebo. :P Unlike in 4.1.2, I dont need any GPS fix files. I can get locks after DS without the need of getting one before it. Battery life has always been good for me on every ROM, except a few, so I don't know if there was a big difference. As of smoothness, I can say that the ROM is very fast. There are a few hiccups here and there, but its not big deal, since this is just an Alpha preview. Semaphore kernel makes it much smoother, however the cost is that GPS does not lock as fast, and Im not sure about DS since as soon as I saw GPS being slow, I switched back to stock. I think this ROM is just as fast as 4.1.2
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Try DS on Semaphore please. Can anyone else confirm about GPS after DS on this alpha running Stock kernel?

Wouldn't that be funny if the crash was incidentally fixed by one of the upstream kernel merges...
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Will do. I will report back as soon as Im done. :D BTW, its the test kernel located on Skank thread posted by DougFresh.

EDIT: Doug deleted it from his post.

Here's what he wrote:

I'll just leave this Sema kernel for 4.2.1 for the 959 here for a day . *deleted *

^I wonder why Doug deleted it... :/
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
The reason why I deleted it cuz I don't want my DB to blow up hihi. Anyway, here's an updated 2.8.0 b3 Semaphore 4.2. Enjoy. http://db.tt/qFVTDhRG
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Thanks Doug!! Will test with that one next. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
GPS

1st test kernel found on the Skank thread:

FE, GPS on reboot for Semaphore takes ~ 10 - 20 secs. (before DS)

GPS locks in 10 - 20 secs after DS (I locked before DS too)

GPS (without a lock before DS) took me about ~30 secs.

Accuracy is quite good for me. It went quickly down to 40 ft accuracy in a matter of seconds. I think if I gave it a bit longer, it would have went to ~20 ft.

^These were quite strange, since when I first tested when Doug posted it in Skank thread, GPS lock times were HORRIBLE.

PS. Keep in mind though FE, DS was only about 10 mins or so.

Its quite late where I live, so Ill be going to sleep. Ill test the new kernel tomorrow and Ill make DS times a bit longer (>20 mins?). Ill report back again with the new lock times.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have just tested it, didn`t work for me. Here is my recent rom history:

Full Data/System/Cache wipe

Installed CM10-stable (used that since the release)

Yesterday I wiped System

Installed CM10.1-alpha

Just now I rebooted, and left it (for like 10 min)

Then I tried to start GPS, the icon did blink, but I got a SIGSEGV on gpsd (see log)

After the SIGSEGV, no more NMEA messages came (whereas normally a full NMEA log comes every second)

Left it for 5min, no change.

Closed GPS status, opened again, no NMEA messages, no icon blink.

Full log is at: http://pastebin.com/nn0U348e
[Vibrant Android Development] taurus193:
can anybody provide me with the stock kernel ?
[Vibrant Android Development] sada23:
Using this kernel. GPS locks before DS and does not find any SATs after DS.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
LOL it works for me. I just restored my nandroid, and I tested after DS without a lock before it, and DS was 10 mins. It locked in ~ 15 secs. FE, you should get more people to test it out. :D BTW, Moronig, when was your device manufactured? Mine was made after the Nov 2010 date, so I had no need for the hardware fix. I shall flash Semaphore again and test.

EDIT: Okay, just to make sure it wasnt a fluke or anything, for the first Semaphore (on the Skank thread), I can confirm that GPS definitely works on a reboot, after DS (when locking after a reboot), and after DS even if you dont lock before DS.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Okay, FE, for this kernel, my GPS on reboot locked in around 10 ~ 20 secs, after DS (locked before DS), GPS locked in about 20 secs. and for after DS without a lock before DS, the GPS locked quickly, but it had horrible accuracy. About 70ft. Only 4 satellites out of 12 were in use.

FE, this kernel version's accuracy isnt as good as yours or the previous Semaphore. Its just as fast but its accuracy is lower and less satellites are being locked on.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
I'm one of those members that doesn't use GPS, so I love it due to the speed and smoothness using semaphore manager.....Smartass, smooth UI, CFQ or Noop is golden. Holla
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Yep, agreed. Its so fast. This phone was never known to have good GPS either lol. Its really no big deal unless you're extremely dependent on it. Semaphore is what I usually stick with as well. :D I use basically the same tweaks as you, but I use CFQ all the time and Deep Idle is enabled for me too. (I have never gotten an SOD. :D)
[Vibrant Android Development] L1LK1LLERZ:
Does the camera work?
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
No, the camera doesn't work at all for me. I think it's because it's the SV version, for ROMs with BigMem patch. We would need the "v" version.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
I forgotten to mention that its big memb ala Slim style
