[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CruciasNZ:
Howdy people,

I got myself an HTC 8S recently as a "tick over" phone until I can afford a more expensive WP8 device (and I wanted the hell of Droid). I want to play Final Fantasy, but I don't want to loose my progress when I swap phones in a few months. I won't be playing it regularly so won't finish it before August (at the earliest!).

Is there a way to backup WP8 game saves and transfer them to other devices?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corktrek:
I was asking this the other month. Unfortunately Windows Phone 8 doesn't backup your game saves or app data at the moment. I would hope it'll appear later in the year as part of the next update but obviously they've not admitted anything yet. :/
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CruciasNZ:
Well that's a bit crap. Thank for the reply regardless

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakmax:
Totally forgot it was in my pocket and waded into the sea to get onto a boat. :silly: :crying:

I dried it out the best i could (packed it in rice). It turned on the next day and seemed to be working but quickly came up with the power off options (restart phone, kid mode, etc) and turned off by itself. After another 2 days of being in a bag of rice, either the back and home buttons flash every 20 secs without the screen turning on or the screen turns on like it's attempting to start but turns off again - like an endless reboot cycle. The back of the phone gets seriously hot after a while too.

Sadly, the vast majority of our holiday memories are on it and am wondering if there is any way these can be recovered? I'm assuming it's not (even by HTC).

If it's not, what's the cheaper option? Sending it to HTC in the hope that it can be repaired or replaced...or just buying a new one?

put your oven on 50 degrees censius, and let it there for a few hours.

It often works on hardware like motherboards and such.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakmax:
Wow that's a suggestion I haven't heard before! Is that to dry it out? Because if so, I think it's already fully dry.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flar2:
Was it salt water? Fresh water is not so bad and you might be able to dry it out, but salt water is deadly to electronics (corrosion).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr9722:
Well ive certainly never been in any sea that is fresh water!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
Soak the device in isopropyl alcohol for a couple of hours to displace any water and to dilute any salt remaining in the device.

Leave the device out of the IPA for a day or two in a warm room then place the device in an electric oven at as low a temperature as possible overnight.

If that doesn't fix it it's broken beyond repair.

Or just claim on your insurance.

Hi

Greetings,

HTC took him into sea

Phone did not drowned?

Neways I thing keeping in rice is a good suggestion I have read about it but havent experienced it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakmax:
Yep tried that - packed in a bag of rice for about 2 days.

Yep definitely salt water.

No, as stated in the OP, I waded into the sea to get into a boat, forgetting that the phone was in my pocket.

See my comment about the rice. Not sure if keeping it in rice for more than 2 days is going to make any more difference??

Could give that a try I suppose. What is "IPA"?

And unfortunately, although my home contents insurance covers my phone, it doesn't cover any "liquid" damage. So claiming is not possible.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compact_bijou:
Isopropyl Alcohol

Not really insurance unless it's all risks, is it?

PLEASE LOOK SECOND POST FOR EASY WAY. I DIDNT TEST IT. THANKS TO GILBERT32 FOR THIS METHOD

Press Thanks button if you like...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gilbert32:
ok. from the beggining. Why would someone download a windows mobile rom and install it via sd card, so it overrides data on nand, hspl and radio, then reinstall hspl and radio according to your guide, then reinstall magldr or clk??? That's too complicated for any user. (and useless)

and why not just see mtty result if flashing everything on the phone is required?

Why not just say: *install black clk. go to settings, fill bbt at startup and reboot, goto info> bad block table???????

isn't that wayy easier??

btw, i won't report about magldr 1.13.03 in your sig since it's not on xda, but it's a disrespect to cotulla to mod his bootloader and post it on xda. i saw it in darkforcesteam.cn too as i remember and it was removed cuz the poster didn't have cotulla's permission to mod it. And it's not open source so you don't have the right to mod it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] symbuzzer:
thanks for your opinions. I didnt use any variant of lk. so I dont know this option in Black LK.

if I didnt remember wrong, hd2's spl, windows phone 7, 7.5, 7.8, 8, rt were closed source, werent they?

I didnt share my "cosmetic-edited" magldr and flash tool in xda. so I didnt break any rule. If you want to report my signature to mods, you can do it.

There wasnt any rule in xda about this situation. dont forget please, rules are my job;)

Finally, I am not troll and havent got any donate account in xda or any site. I wrote in here (mean xda board) for help anothers or my problems or suggestions.

I hope, answers are clear for you.

Thanks...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gilbert32:
i know. i only posted because your guide was too long. and not noob-friendly enough so it would make them all start whining how to .......

i did nothing about your sig i only said it was disrespectful to mod other people's work.

and i know you aren't a troll and i'm not trolling you too. only a simpler, more user-friendly guide would be more thanked.(one that doesn't involve flashing phone 4 times via ruu)

Hi Guys,

I have been a long reader of the forum, but never actually posted, so here is my first! (Apologies if it's in the wrong section, I have done a search and as its my first post, I'm restricted as to where I can post)

Recently I purchased a Western Digital MyBook Live (3TB) and have it synced to my Windows Phone (7.8) the other half's Galaxy Note (running Jelly Bean) and her iPad 2, via our router - Great!

I have the 32GB Surface RT and there doesn't appear to be a WD app other than WD2GO which only lets you connect to the MyBook when connected to the home network. It actually states this is a limitation in the release notes.

Has anyone come across a way of accessing the content on the MyBook from an external network, without being connected to my home network? So if I'm round a family members home, at work etc...

Many thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Bassplayingmonkey:
Sorry, but bumped.
[General Questions and Answers] D@vide:
If anyone can...

I've the same problem, if anyone figure out how to access the unit from a remote connection please, share here the workaround...

In any case this limitation on surface rt is because the unit doesn't support java, and the w2go from WD run on Java . I think this iusse could be bypassed using ftp access, by till how I'm not able to setting Up a connection cause my isp (Fastweb) has limitations using public IP

Edit: in the link below you can find a way to bypass the RT limitations using it like a pro. Unfortunatly I'm not familiar with Windows Azure and can't try this solution. If you or someone has success using this solution, please, share it.

Its not easy to do that. And there have been members who have asked the same question recently (u can search for those threads).

Ah... I did not mean to insult you buddy but trying carelessly will give you a bricked device....but I appreciate your effort, trial and error is always how a true dev finds a path to a solution, well try your best and be careful when you are decompiling/recompiling core system files.

Here is how you create a working folder with your tar file

Step 1:

1.After downloading yourfilename.tar.md5, rename it to yourfilenname.tar

2.Put it in original_update folder in Kitchen

3.Goto Kitchen Menu in Cygwin

4.Press 1 and then Press Enter

Step 2:

1.After downloading tar file ,extract it content directly into original_update folder("be careful in extracting the image file directly into original_update folder dont make a sub directory for that folder)

2.Goto Kitchen menu in Cygwin

3.Press 1 and then Press Enter

For your example look at the attached image's for step 1 and 2

The only solution I can give to your problem is that you flash the stock gingerbread(or froyo) firmware provided by LG via KDZ updater.

The instructions can be found on the link below(including download)-

http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-install-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-lg-optimus-one.html

After successfully flashing it, if the phone doesn't turn on then turn the power off. Press and hold Power key + Home Key + Down volume key for more than 10 seconds.. When the power turns on, release these keys.

I notice that the update has made the speakers loader at a lower volume level. for example 25-45 about it is much loader than before. It gets a little loader as you go up. BUT at around 70 to 100 there is no volume increase.

Anyone else expereincing this?
[Microsoft Surface] LastBattle:
70 ~ 100 is definitely louder than before.. Previously I couldn't hear my music played while the TV is on.

Right now its like a loud speaker that's on par with my Lumia 920 :D
[Microsoft Surface] lgnationrc:
yes, it is. But what I mean is. 0-50 or so, that is where the volume changes. 50-100 there is no volume change, even though the numbers are going higher when your pressing the volume up button.

But yes, it is louder than before.
[Microsoft Surface] HandyBesitzer:
for me the sound becomes louder also for a volume lvl higher than 50. But at low lvl 2-8 depends on the song, the volume goes down near to 0 you hear nothing and when you make it louder (+1) it's really loud. So you can not hear the musik quietly. and the volume changes it selfe while you hear on 2-8 it goes up and down, while beeing all the time at 2-8. mostly when the voice of the song goes down the rt reduces also the musik it selfes. Has someone else the same problem??

Yep, seems to be a common issue.

I haven't heard of anything about that but I haven't really read much about it either. For me S-off isn't a big deal. it makes things more convenient but isn't necessary. Really only affects updating radios and blackbox partitions. As long as I got access to recovery and system, I'm fine.

Mkinney88s ROM and my ROM have the same base as this RUU. This RUU is a bit older than the WWE ROMs that are out though...like ViperOneS...its based on 3.16, and the T-Mobile version is 3.14...but they are both JB...I suggest using the 3.16 bases unless you are T-Mobile US.
