Do you have any kind of recovery on the phone as it is now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deathfreak:
thanks for your reply.i forgot to update my post.i do have a recovery in my phone (a crappy one rather, i had to hold down volume up+ power button for sometime) but it doesn't let me do much. there are options available for testing the mobile and other things i don't remember exactly. recovery is not like other android phones. i am trying to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. can you help me?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sgt. meow:
If you can flash in recovery, just try adb pulling your system and then placing the such binary in the bin folder, and then flash it in recovery.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deathfreak:
nope no flashing option.it just says "Factory Mode" on the heading.options those are available are:

Full Test,

Item Test,

Test Report,

Clear eMMC,

Version,

Reboot.

that's it.nothing more.and one other thing.i can't see my phone in adb .when i enter command " adb devices" it shows nothing whereas my pc can still see it.i had connected it as a media device and usb debugging is on.should i uninstall the drivers and reinstall again by connecting phone?

Has anyone every written an application to turn on the speaker phone on the SX56 phone? Normally you have to hold the top left button for 3 seconds to turn on the Speaker phone. Can an app be written to do it?

I'd like to make a shortcut to the app, then I'd be able to assign a simple button push (rather than having to hold it down) to turn the speaker on.

Anyone??

Hello guys

I bought OMNIA7 after the first week it released, I know how to unlock that phone and how to use XAP installer. Then I gave the phone to my sister since that time til now.

Last week she handed me back the phone and said she need wifi-tethering function, I tried to update via Zune by turned off connection trick but it only bring me up to 7.10.8107.79. which has not support internet sharing yet

Now i decide to install custom rom for the first time and i want to know that still i can use xap installer? or if not then how to install the xap file i have?

Coz i need to install Thai keyboard to make it able to read and write, if not then it will become paper-weight

I'm quite outdated, since didn't touch wp7 for a while

Please guide me something

Thanks!
[Omnia 7 General] bert1994:
i use the Dynamics V2 Custom ROM with a xap installer which is delivered with the rom. works fine.

Hi ,

I got my phone 2 days ago . but I'm not happy because the gap it has !

Here some pictures of my phone

http://im42.gulfup.com/CH55M.jpg

http://im38.gulfup.com/7eRRL.jpg

what about your phones ? does it have the same gap my phone has ?

Do you recommend me to return it to where I bought it from.

Yes return a.s.a.p.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] naz4viper:
I dont know if you realize but the top & bottom parts where the stereo speaker grills are are not part of the aluminum "unibody" so those parts are most likely glued on or snapped in or something like that.. it's up to you if you want to return it over something like that

I wouldn't but that's just me :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Ahanix:

gap

look at the pics from anandTech review same gap that you have i think.:p
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] americasteam:
I'm sorry, but I don't really see an issue with your device. I would rather have one without the gap, but don't think I'd return it for that reason.

Do you have any other defects? Really be a shame to return it for one that has dead pixels, LCD light leakage, screen discoloration, etc.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
And this is an ATT phone you got already? If not this is the wrong section.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
I looked at the 3 ATT had on display today. None had a gap like that. The metal on yours looks kinda jagged, its not a smooth cut (kinda like your thumbnail) :rolleyes:Looks like a defect in the case. You can fix your thumbnail (tlc) dont know if you can fix that case :D I'd exchange it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Rioplatense:
I also went to 2 different stores, one last night and one today. Both display devices had no gaps...although the one near Penn station was severely abused already with multiple gashes on the sides and the plastic. I would sent it back

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gridlock489:
Nice subtle burn there ;)

For anyone with this 'gap' defect, does it seem as though the speaker grille could come loose/fall off because of it? It's a shame that one of the only non-machined part on the phone is already showing such obvious signs of a defect. Here's hoping it's contained to one of the first batches :fingers-crossed:

[General Questions and Answers] avenged_sevenfold27:
Oh well I'm getting the optimus g at&t version unlocked to put on T-Mobile because none of the T-Mobile phones seemed to fit my needs there was always a flaw in the decent phones they had well I'm glad T-Mobile supports the 1900 MHz because since I have 4g in my area with the amaze I know I'll have 4g with the optimus g I done paid 550 for the phone didn't have a money back I'm just that confident it will work :)
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
The HTC Amaze gets 4G on the 1700/2100 MHz bands, not 1900MHz. Sorry, but you might be out of luck with the OG, since it has no 1700MHz band built in. It only picks up 1900MHz for T-Mobile's 3G/4G, which may not be in your area.

Unless your area has been refarmed for the 1900MHz band, you're only going to see EDGE (2G) speeds at best. Then again, if you have T-Mobile LTE in your area, then it should work on that if you find someone who can unlock the modem for you.

There are so many "ifs" here, that you would have been better off not buying this phone to use on T-Mobile, unless you know for a fact that you have a refarmed network, or LTE service.

I think you misinterpreted the 1900MHz thing. That is not a nation-wide thing. It is only supported in some markets, not all. If you don't know for certain, then you probably don't have it. Your Amaze getting 4G means absolutely nothing, since it does not run on the 1900MHz band in the first place.
[General Questions and Answers] avenged_sevenfold27:
I'm in Dalton ga I'm 20 min south of Chattanooga which has been refarmed
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
If you're sure of that, then you should be fine with the OG. If I recall correctly, there's a modem hack to enable T-Mobile LTE on it. That is dependent on your local area actually having LTE in the first place, though.
[General Questions and Answers] Class_of_punk26:
So if chattanooga has been refarmed and I'm 20 min from there I should be fine?
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
Not necessarily. It depends entirely on the towers you connect to. If the towers in your area use 1700/2100MHz for HSPA+ connections, then your phone needs to support those bands. If the tower has been refarmed and is using 1900MHz for HSPA+, then you have your pick of pretty much every GSM phone on the planet. Call T-Mobile to find out, or get a hold of a Samsung S2 or better phone with the stock Touchwiz ROM. You can go into the diagnostics menu with *#197328640# in the dialer. There's a network frequency menu in there that will show you the bands you're connected to.
[General Questions and Answers] avenged_sevenfold27:
I just called them they said basically where ever I have 4g with my amaze I'll have 4g with any at&t phone so I'm saved :)
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
That's not true at all. The T-Mobile Amaze only gets 4G on AWS bands. It does not get the 1900MHz band at all, which is what AT&T phones get 3G/4G on. So, either your phone is an unbranded version, or the guy on the phone didn't know what he was talking about. It's not as cut and dry as they would have you believe.

My suggestion would be to make sure that if you buy a non T-Mobile phone, make sure you can return it if things don't go right. I hope that your area is a refarmed area, but unless a tech tells you straight up that the towers in your area are refarmedwith 100% certainty, make sure to cover your behind when buying a new device just in case.

[General Questions and Answers] avenged_sevenfold27:
I have the unbranded one and they even said in other terms she said that I'm in a 1900 MHz area
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
Ok. Well the unbranded one does have 1900MHz built in. It's uncommon for anyone to have that one, since the Amaze ended up being a T-Mobile exclusive device. As far as the refarm goes, I'd still urge you to be cautious in making a purchase. Make sure you can test out the device for a short while within a return period, just in case.

So, we know task managers are bad in Android. Free RAM is useless. What about shutting down them through Android own Recent apps? I dont do that, but I know some people who does that, and if I am correct sliding them away from recent apps closes them. Is this bad or useless?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otyg:
Android usually has its own memory control mechanism and will close apps wen it needs , but sliding them from the recent app menu also closes them this might be useful when something is consuming CPU to save battery run-time.,

most kill task managers usually use the kill command and forcefully closes the app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinn360:
This is a warning for Samsung devices! If you continue to get this error while trying to connect to your Wifi router, and it appears to not even attempt to actually connect to the router each time there is a simple solution. The error that will show is "Authentication Error Occurred" You can get closer to your router but it will not fix the problem, unless you actually have a different problem. This week I have had this occur on my Galaxy S Vibrant (Rooted with SlimBean ROM) and my Galaxy Note 10.1 (Stock latest version).

Solution to the problem (problem may be with installation of non-default launchers(For me it was Kid Mode a game for my kid))

Step 1 -- Intentionally put in the wrong password to access the router..

..it will of course fail...

Step 2 -- Put in the correct password. :fingers-crossed:

It will reconnect like new.:highfive:

This is what worked for me, and if you have the same problem (really no matter the Samsung device) it should work for you.

For whatever reason putting in the wrong password makes the device actually attempt to connect again. I had tried everything from placing the device on the router, resetting the router, restarting the devices, removing apps, factory resetting one device( which worked after two resets on the non-stock Vibrant), forgetting the network, turning off sleep mode in advanced wifi settings, adjusting all sorts of other settings.

Thought I would share my solution and I hope it helps more than just the Note 10.1 community if this occurs to others, which my google search results showed me it does and on many Samsung devices...which makes me sad, because I love my Samsungs.

That is what my sister does on her S3 (resets router), but for some reason this works if you cannot reset the router... (its in use by others). Next time you have this problem (if you do again), let me know if this works for you?

Also I was thinking an app that I installed caused this problem, do you think you have anything on your 8020 that would cause this? (such as a childs game that blocks certain actions from occuring, or a firewall app)

[Solved] Router Reset Signal

My Samsung Galaxy 4 and my husbands Samsung Reverb were both throwing Authentication Errors every time we tried to connect using the wps pin, the wps button or the passcode. Nothing was working, to include trying incorrect password followed by correct password.

Hubby called Comcast and had a reset signal sent to the box. After the reset code was sent and the box cycled off and then on, Comcast verified the ip address once again and we pushed the WPS button for a fresh try.

WPS claimed to have failed on both phones but promptly connected. Problem appears to be solved for now so I don't care if the phones tell me that they're sucking toes! As long as they connect :)

I'll update if any further issues arise but for now I suggest calling your wifi provider and requesting that they flash the box (send a reset signal).

access control list

Had a harrrowing experience solving this.

Was trying to connect wifi to note3 but it was seemingly stubborn in giving authentication error.

Had tried resetting the device, even changed router settings and yet it does not budge.

At last it dawned on me to stumble on access control list. In router settings there is option for setting access control for the devices used. Once the devices are added and the access control is turned on, it does not allow any other device to connect even if the credentials are correct.

So, once I have unchecked the access control list in router settings, it connected instantly.

I must have realized the same. Being oblivious of this fact costed a day.

Hope this helps.

connecting to wi fi with tablet

We had a tablet that previously logged onto our Wifi but after taking it to school and returning home it wouldn't reconnect at home and asked for the password. I think we may have put the wrong password in too many times then even when we use the correct one it wouldn't connect.On the advice of our data provider we changed the name of our Wi Fi router in its set up and suddenly we could connect again when entering the password correctly. Worth a go if you have put the wrong password in too many times or your tablet just won't reconnect or even forget the connection.
