[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Agreed with this. I've constantly read about how task killers don't help and they're useless etc., but on my HD2 the fact of the matter was that killing tasks would make my phone significantly faster and reduce battery drain by around 5mA (equivalent to a standby drain of 1%/50 mins going down to 1%/1.5 hrs). I haven't found any need to use any automated task killer with hardware this good but I don't see any reason it would harm the device at all either. I guess killing something which needs to be open (and thus will reopen itself soon enough anyway) could cause unwanted battery drain, but other than that there's no problem with task killers.

there are other ways to manage memory. i like to use the autostarts app on my devices, you can prevent apps from starting up in the first place. also, i like using the auto memory manager app to change androids memory management numbers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
I believe its different.. It just takes out the apps from your recents section. Even if I have a kill button on my custom rom, the app will still appear in the recents menu.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its the same to a point. some roms come with a longpress back button to kill option too.

the whole task managers are bad thing started when cyanogen made a statement about them. people were killing their launchers and widgets(widgets would stop updating), and creating false issues for themselves then blaming cayanogenmod for for their troubles. cyanogen didnt want to deal with these people so he made a statement that task killers are bad. since then, its been blown up more than the "issues" that they create.

good questions should get thanks too

So many newbs don't ask a perfectly good question anymore because so many times they get dawged and told maybe they shouldn't have that technology or search the threads newb even though he just spent 30 minutes doing that. So apologies for prior and future newbs who don't have enough time in the day to keep up on what's been posted and where and sorry for whatever else some, definitely not the majority, contributors get upset about. It's so crazy the way people treat people online, think about would you be saying this to a person you don't know in a physical socal setting. I hope not to the angry contributors of wrath.

You should flash it while in cwm recovery. Not stock recovery. Should work no problem then.

I did but every time i flash back to stock ROM/revorvery thru Odin it counts as one

Dear XDA community,

everyday i'm reading new questions from users, how they have to unlock their Lumia 900 and how they can flash custom roms onto it...

So i decided to make this how-to-thread.

I'll keep this post updated as an overview:

post 2: Bootloader unlock DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm

post 3: Backup and flash your L900 with Ubuntu, flash in Windows using dewe's Lumia Downloader 0.5

post 4: How-To use USB-Video-Out

So please, guys, read this thread, and if you don't understand, feel free to ask. :good:
[Nokia Lumia 900] lordmaxey:
Bootloader unlock DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm

If you want to flash a custom rom, you need to have a Lumia 900 with qualcomm bootloader.

But it's a difficult way to make your DLOAD Lumia 900 to Qualcomm:

You need two main things:

1. You need ATF flasher box

2. You need good soldering skills or the special atf cables from gpg industries

Here's a tutorial to SIM-Unlock a Lumia 800: How-To SIM-Unlock your Lumia 800 - gsmhosting.com

This is almost the same procedure for "bootloader-unlocking" your Lumia 900.

You just do not need to click

SP-Unlock

, you need to click "boot repair" (and select qualcomm, of course).

And you need to look at the Lumia 900 Testpoints of course ;)

Here's the thread of the special cables: No more soldering for lumia 610,710,800,900 easiest osbl swap ever

These cables do not require you to solder your device. You only need to open up your phone and connect it to the cable and your ATF Box.

So, if you don't want, or can't buy such a box, check for a local phone repair shop in your town/city. If they have ATF, i'm sure they can do this for you for a small amount.

Hope this helps.
[Nokia Lumia 900] lordmaxey:
Flash your custom rom using dewe's Lumia Downloader 0.5

Dewe's Nokia Lumia Downloader 0.5

I

attached

the

Nokia Lumia Downloader 0.5

for flashing your Lumia 900 easily in Windows.

Thx to dewe for his great work!

This requires your Lumia 900 to have the qualcomm bootloader!!

First: make a backup of ALL 9 partitions of the phone!

This might really save your ass ;) Id did save mine more than once :D :good:

1. Install Ubuntu to your computer, or use Ubuntu-Live-CD

2. put phone into "Qualcomm Mode" by pressing VOL UP + POWER and connect it to your pc

3. check with

sudo fdisk -l

how your phone appears in ubuntu

4. backup your partitions using this:

sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]1 of=/media/Data/backup1.bin
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]2 of=/media/Data/backup2.bin
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]3 of=/media/Data/backup3.bin
up to
sudo dd if=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]9 of=/media/Data/backup9.bin

where the X is your special letter, mostly it's b, c, or d.

if = your input file

of = your output file

And this might take up to 2 hours.

Restoring your backups is the exact opposit.

second: you can now flash your Lumia 900.

because you're already in Ubuntu, you can flash it using:

sudo dd if=/path/to/your/os-new.nb of=/dev/sd[B]X[/B]9

You MUST flash the os-new.nb file to partition 9!!!

Or you can use attached Nokia Lumia Downloader on Windows.

1. Connect your phone in "qualcomm mode"

2. open the Tool with admin rights in Windows

3. Klick "download" and select os-new.nb file

NOTICE: when you connect the phone in "qualcomm mode" in windows, you'll get a message of formatting the drive. DO NOT DO THAT!!!! CLICK CANCEL! If you format, your phone's broken.

Hopefully in the near future we could flash our Lumia 900 without an ATF box and soldering anything... Can't wait for that day to come! :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Santoman7:
have we any chance for a unlocked official software like in 700-800 ;

There is much simple ....
[Nokia Lumia 900] lordmaxey:
710 and 800?

that soldering atf stuff is also needed for L800, mate ;)

only L710 has "official" qualcomm bootloader.

right now there is no other option, but i hope there will be someday.

but personally, i don't think so... :(

or suggest me any better handfree to be used.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] renegade2k:
Mostly Android smartphones support any kind of handsfree-kits.

So with 95% making calls (speech control) works fine. Whether multimedia control is working you just have to try out.

I would suggest to buy a Sony Ericsson MW600.

This one is bluetooth powered, so you have no disturbing wires and still use any headphones you wish to.

This device does support anything you want. Speech control, multimedia control and even shows you, who is calling
[General Questions and Answers] phantomofheat:
Do you have any suggestions for a non-Sony by head set?
[General Questions and Answers] renegade2k:
As an alternative you can look out for the Jabra Clipper.

Pretty much the same, but without display.

The Jabra device has great build quality, as the body is mostly out of metal and the battery life is impressive.

But why not that Sony thing?

Im using it since one year now and am absolutely satisfied.

Further the Sony headset supports up to 2 devices. So if you use a phone and another external mp3-player you have not to reconnect every time, but just switch the devices by a keypress
[General Questions and Answers] phantomofheat:
Why not Sony it is a moral thing, due to they build quality of there products, the way they treat customers.
[General Questions and Answers] renegade2k:
Ah, i can understand your point ;)

It's like the reason, why i never would buy apple products :D

So, as i worte: Jabra Clipper.

Viper One S (or Android I´m not sure anymore ) wanted to do an update, well I downloaded it and let the update install. During reboot the phone went into TWPR ! No start of Android anymore! In the meanwhile I´m sure I´ve done wrong what can be done wrong. OneS All-in-one-Toolkit by Hanson2000, Everything-Tool, trying to flash sideload blablabla...nothing helped.

This is a european ROM, allthough I bought the phone here (wanted the European languages) and flashed the ROM myself about a year ago.

I have Baseband I9100XXLS8

I have read up a little and see that some radio's might be optimized for the carrier the ROM was made for. In my case I

think

the ROM i got was for Telenor, Norway.

I really need the Fast Forward/Rewind function inside (long) tracks to listen to podcasts and audio books.

Here are some apps which are supposedly doing Fast Forward/Rewind: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-my-android-device-from-my-headph/30677#30677, if the stock music app doesn't do it. It doesn't do it, right?

As both the iPhone and newer Samsungs use the CTIA standard, any "made for iPhone" headset should work with functioning button on the Galaxy Mini like a charm. At least in theory.

Pls. list your headset accordingly if it does or does not do Fast Forward and Rewind with any of these apps!
