[Nokia Lumia 920] dicion:
Hey all, looking into buying my wife a Lumia. She's Finnish, and therefore prefers Nokia phones, however, the last time she went to buy a Nokia, of the ones available at the time, none in the US had Finnish as a selectable language. She called Nokia Finland directly on this, and pretty much cursed them up a storm for half an hour about how a Finn, living in the US, can't get Finnish, on a phone made by a Finnish company. She was pretty pissed.

So, she got the iPhone, because it had Finnish as an option. It's not that she doesn't speak and understand English, she just wants her phone in her native language. That was 5 years ago.

Well, it's about time to upgrade again, and while we were looking at the iPhone again, I'm also looking at the Lumia's. Only problem is, I cannot find, anywhere, a list of the languages available in the standard AT&T US Firmwares. It's not published anywhere that I can find.

I have read that the selection is 'limited' and that Rogers has 'all of them, including polish', but that doesn't tell me which ones are in either.

Mainly, I would like to know if Finnish is available in the AT&T US Firmware, and if not, is it available in the Rogers? And how complicated is reflashing it from the former, to the latter. Never owned a windows phone before, but I'm not a stranger to jailbreaking iPhones or rooting/unlocking/etc Androids. Just haven't had hands on a windows phone yet.

If anyone has just a plain list of all the Languages available in the different firmwares, I think that would work out best for everyone. Barring that, if you have one of these phones, can you just post what languages are available in your version? Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] donnaw:
Just checked my ATT 920 and Finnish isn't listed. Sorry. Perhaps a call to Nokia to see if there is a language pack.
[Nokia Lumia 920] phoneguy 4567:
I see Suomi listed, on the Rogers Lumia 920, I believe that is Finnish. I believe the development area has flashing instructions.
[Nokia Lumia 920] einstien:
How about Arabic, Is it available for both UI and keyboard input?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Demon Fox:
Nope for the UI, yes for the keyboard... and Hebrew also.. :/

I have an rm-821 phone... and I try to see if there is a firmware that maybe can have the language pack that I need... the only problem is that I am an android user and a new to Nokia stuff... and no one here is trying to help me somehow...

[Nokia Lumia 920] einstien:
Thanks for the feedback Demon Fox. ( you're talking about att version right?)

I had the 900 and I sold it for that reason, No Arabic Keyboard input even after the so called 7.8 update( the UI not important for me ). Many people were talking about language packs but no actual "tutorial" or even a hint on how to extract or merge the language packs with a current WP OS.

Suppose i am having a dual core 2ghz processor does it means that each core is clocked at 2ghz or two 1ghz?If each core is clocked at 2ghz,that's a total of 4ghz right?

Is same principle applies for quad core processor?

I'm totally pissed.
[General Questions and Answers] Marce979:
Dual Core = two cores in one package. In dual core and multi-core CPUs (quad, eight, etc.) avery core have the same clock speed.

Es. 1 Dual Core 2GHz CPU = Core1 - 2GHz | Core2 - 2GHz

Anyway, this won't double the performance. Because the ability to use both cores is written directly in softwares and operating systems.

If a software is written to run on a single thread, in the CPU will work only one core with 2GHz performance.

I hope this helps you. Bye
[General Questions and Answers] lukop:
It is very good explained in wikipedia, try look there :)
[General Questions and Answers] knuckle03:
Dual core 2ghz= 2 cores each core is clocked at 2ghz. Quadcore 1.6 ghz= 4 cores each clocked at 1.6ghz like the note 2.

Check this pic

Tgats on my note 2
[General Questions and Answers] moleverine:
That's correct. Both cores run at the same clock speed. a Dual-Core 2GHz processor has two cores that each run at 2GHz
[General Questions and Answers] TheSG:
Why won't it will double the performance?

If a game is written in two threads,will the game will run at 4ghz?

Is four cores can run at same time?or they randomly works?
[General Questions and Answers] moleverine:
Multiple cores helps the device (computer, phone, etc) to do more tasks at the same time. In that way, it will make it feel more responsive. For example, a process can be running in the foreground (playing a video) and in the background (checking email) at the same time without having to take turns. Having multiple cores WON'T make things that are a single thread (encoding audio or video for example) perform better. For that, you need a faster processor (higher GHz rating, but there is a lot more than that that goes into it) to get better performance.

In an ideal world, we could have all the cores and clock speed we wanted, but since we have to contend with battery life, we'll have to make compromises.
[General Questions and Answers] mcavoya:
Now you're getting into computer science theory. Like everyone is saying, your program has to be written to take advantage of multiple processors. Even then, practice shows you're only going to get about 30% to 70% increase in performance each time you double your processors.

It's not trivial to explain, there are entire courses dedicated to the subject. But think of it this way: if you have a program that takes 10 hours to run on a single processor, and a portion of the code that cannot be parallelized needs 1 hour to run, then no matter how many processors you throw at it the fastest you will ever get is 1 hour.
[General Questions and Answers] TheSG:
Thanks for the info guys.

It's getting more complicated whenever i'm going deeper and deeper in this.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
As long as you have a custom recovery, the counter will say 1 and the staus is modified. You have to flah a stock rom, root it and use Triangle Away to reset the counter and status. After that reflash the stock rom and do a data factory reset after the phone booted, skip all settings to save time (as you are going to reset it anyway). Save important files first. After the reset your statuss will say Normal, you will receive OTA`s or update through Kies. Or flash a updated rom with Odin if you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
An app like Action Launcher Pro that works on Gingerbread? I really don't feel like switching a fully undeveloped ICS Rom just for one app but have been looking for something like this...

Or like QuickDroid or the ADWLauncher search bar with the six dots in it as well.

Kinda like Smart Taskbar but with a widget bar option that also allows you to search within the box.

Is there such an app, or will I have to settle for Smart Taskbar?

Any suggestions?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejkeebler:
So since the latest google voice update, instead of selecting a different account for google voice, it now forces you to add the account. Now i'm wondering a) am i the only one sharing a google voice mailbox between 2 phones and b) should i perhaps go to a multi-account setup?

pre update:

my wife had a google account and used my google voice account

i had my own google account, so anytime a message was left for either of us, no matter who's phone we had we could get the message. Now if i had my account to her phone she also gets my gtalk, gmail, etc, unless i set them not to sync, but it's very easy to accidentally start gtalk with the wrong id, etc. It got me thinking, maybe I should create a new gmail account for things we like to mutually have i.e. a voice mail box , calendar and contacts and then we each have our own accounts for gmail, gtalk, etc

Having never used 2 accounts on one phone will this be pretty seamless? Anyone using this method? Anyone have ideas what some of the problems might be with this issue?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
The thing with benchmark tests is consistency. Whether it's a PC or a phone, run your benchmark tests under the same conditions or else you'll get unpredictable results. Me, I shut down the phone, pull the battery, reinstall, boot... then wait a few minutes for everything to settle down... then run the test. Background processes will effect your results.

Other than bragging rights, benchmark absolute numbers mean little. They ARE helpful to see what individual changes do...especially helpful after an update or after flashing a new ROM. And use several tests. I have Quadrant Standard, AnTuTu, NenaMark 1 and 2, and Linpack. Also, SunSpider is a great JavaScript test that runs in your browser...meaning you can compare devices running Android, WebOS, iOS, WinX...or even RIM if you're one of the dozen or so people who still use a Blackberry. Lower numbers are better, since the score is in milliseconds to complete the tests.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DevWithCookies:
Hey guys,

So this is not really a problem but just curiosity.

One time (a week ago) I booted my phone and in the lower left corner it said "Safe mode".

Of course it scared me, because I was worried I maybe had to reflash and it takes so many preparation.

I wasn't been able to take screenshots, when I rebooted it, it was gone.

I didn't find any limitations, what was that?

Is it only in custom roms (like JellyBread in this case) or do all roms have this?

Has anyone got this too?

Thanks,

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRed6:
I've seen older threads saying that, if you're updating a custom ROM with a new version, usually you will need to clear the caches and re-flash or possibly do a clean wipe.

I have RaymanFX 0.5.0 (which will be updated soon), so I'm wondering if, for an update, I need to do a data wipe or if just clearing the caches and re-flashing is sufficient.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgmre:
The rule of thumb for upgrading is this:

If you're upgrading within a rom (say RaymanFX 0.5.0 to RaymanFX 0.6.0) then wiping cache/dalvik cache is generally enough. I'd also suggest wiping/formatting the /system folder too, but that's up to you.

If you're upgrading to another rom (say RaymanFX to EOS4) then you should fully wipe/factory reset your device.

The exception to the rule would be upgrading within a rom that changes from android 4.1.x to 4.2.x. In that case you should also fully wipe/factory reset.

Your mileage may vary but this is what's always worked for me. A full wipe each time for every upgrade is the best thing you can do, but it's not needed and means you spend a lot more time re-installing stuff (which I'm guessing is why you are asking). :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRed6:
Thanks, grgmre. That's what I expected. And, yes, I was asking precisely because of reinstalling apps. :) After I flashed 0.5.0 and played with it for a few hours, I reinstalled most of my apps. I'll install them a bit more slowly after I flash the upgrade or a different ROM.

As easy as it is, it's actually tempting to flash and try out more ROMs.
