Hi everybody here,

I'm an Android developer for years, but now I want to try something new in Windows Phone section. Currently, I want to create a clock app with beautiful and smooth UI for free. I want to ask you guys here about, what feature do you want a from a clock app?

Now I should have: hour/minute/second/mini-nanosecond clock; alarm; timer with animation and translucent theme

Do you guy want anything else? Customization maybe? Just let comment!

Thank all!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigsaw:
A text-clock :D (e.g. no 12:30 but TWELVEthirty). Not very useful but it's trendy lol

Binary time on the lockscreen, it doesn't matter if its every minute or every half an hour. I asked someone else to implement that, but they didn't want to put the time in.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moon.lSd:
Afaik, we can not have a custom real clock at lockscreen, so it should be a trick to use a dynamic image which have current time drawn in it. So if the "clock" is updated every minute, it should be harm to battery.

I will discover more to know if there is another way to do it. Thank you!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
Can we have a clock that is updated "on-sight" in WP8? It's not possible, is it?

I would want a clock with various style options: analog, digital, text, binary,... The HTC Sense style clock is great also.

And implementation of stopwatch or countdown timer? Metronome and alarm?

A customizable double-sided live tile.

A clock updated every minute will drastically drains battery, while a clock updated every 30 minutes doesn't really count as clock, I think.

So it'd be better to have an option for switching between real time, 1 minute, 30 minutes or manual update mode, for personal preferences? Like we don't need the clock updated while asleep, do we?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
You could always use static images and have it updated every 15ish minutes. Anyways I don't think every minute is plausible for an app that sets the lock screen could be efficient anyways. e.g. Fuzzy time
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th0mas96:
Another request, a sideloadable version that updates its Live Tile every minute :D
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moon.lSd:
Added customization like you said is my future plan. And I don't get you at "double-sided" live tile?

Hmm, I will think about appropriate way to update lockscreen without effecting too much to battery. Ofc, we don't need update clock when we dont use phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnad:
The live tile is flippable, so we could have a clock on one side, and calendar/weather/to-do/more clocks/whatever on the other side?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyly:
Can someone explain to me about getting a replacement with Google?

How does it work? How long does it take?

Do they pay for shipping back to them? Who the I ship it with? Do I ship with the box with it or just the phone?

Do I get a brand new phone or a used one... And is it just a box?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:
You call them and if they determine you are eligible for a replacement, they will send you an email with 2 pdfs. One is a RMA and the other is a shipping label. You then order a new phone from the play store with a link they provide to you. They won;t charge you, but place an auth on your card in case you dont return the old one. When you receive the new phone, use the UPS box it came in to put in your broken phone with its original box and accessories. Put the RMA form in the box and attach the shipping label. Drop it off at any UPS.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
I have seen people (myself included) ask the same question a couple of times and nobody has ever responded it in this much detail. Many thanks and great Job. Kudos to you.

However, I have a question, once they receive the faulty unit, do they release the CC hold right away or they inspect the device and then release? and how exactly they inspect..as in what do they see..hardware fault or softwrae fault? Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:
Use the box that the new phone comes in. To make things easier, just take the new phone out of its box and put your old phone in its place. Keep the accessories and everything else in there. Makes it easier.

I'm not sure. I've never looked at it in that detail. I've sent back a rooted phone and gotten a refund, so I'm not sure how closely they look @ it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyly:
well if you think about it..... they send you a new phone and you can wait for that new phoen to come to you first. and then you send in a rooted phone the worst they can do is ... nothing. So i'm pretty sure they don't care

Hi All,

I have ROM GT-I9502 Duos v3.5 Superb ZNUCMH4 Pursuit of excellence of 30/08/13, I am having issues with it all of a sudden for no apparent reason, when I restart the phone the language is changed back to Chinese and its only that I can remember were it is in settings I can thankfully change it back, yesterday when I restarted all my apps were gone and it asked me to select which touch wiz I wanted although I use Nova launcher, another restart fixed it but I had to remove the battery, a restart initiated from the phone screen seems to create more problems. Also the syncing of contacts in my google account keeps stopping so I have to restart the phone. Only contacts, everything else syncs fine!!!

I know we are not to discuss the rom I am using as it is a paid rom and that is not what this is about, my question is what are everyone experiences and what is the most reliable "FREE" rom for this phone?

THanks

The below picture shows the phone once it has been rebooted and the language changed to English Australia, there is clearly something major going wrong.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] pna:
Hi

I know there are lots of people asking how to save space and mostly they get told to use 'search' and check the stickys.

I'm a keen gadget lover but have no technical background. I have a 64mb Tmobile MDA (with the horrible branding) and the following setup:

R 1.00.10

G 1337.36

D 1.01.00 WWE

I've heard/seen references to big storage etc but I don't really understand it.

Can someone either give me:

- a really simple way to update my rom etc, or

- suggest another way to delete stuff that I won't need (don't want to delete stuff only to find half the programs no longer work)

- explain the easiest way to get rid of all the Tmobile stuff

Many thanks in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
To prevent the Branding stuff from loadibg you must hard-reset your magician (backup first!!) and after the initialization (calibration etc) you must soft-reset just before the customization starts. You got about 3 to 5 seconds to press the softreset, so when your screen reads 'tap screen to start using ....' you put the stylus in soft-reset hole & then tap the screen. As soon as the default blue WM background appears you press the stylus to soft-reset.

Now you got a plain WM2003 device. & you got the ext-rom visible, not editable, so you can explore it & choose what to install. Network settings for gprs is set by one of the ext-rom cabs.

To gain more storage you can move camera & album from \windows to storage folder. Remember to change shortcuts & registry as well. This saves ariund 1MB. More is possible: I've got < 8MB ram memory allocated to installed stuff with almost all ext-rom cabs installed. Yes I moved a lot.

To gain BIGstorage you can follow instructions below, but first you should get more familiar with the magician I guess. You can save your ext-rom cabs though & update to rom 1.13

url in instructions. To upgrade you just connect the magician to usb & start the downloaded shipped-rom & follow the instructions. Make a backup first & write down your gprs settings, caus you'll have dutch ext-rom cabs after the update. They're in English but contain dutch TMO settings.

Instruction for BS:

- Get nbfdec.exe from the thread 'Upg to 1.13 WWE ROM (with 1.13 Radio) in 10 easy steps!' @ http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?...&start=0&sid=75c5e40168a22052fb7c5554bddd68c2

- get maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp

- Download the shipped rom from:

http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/mda_compact_upgrade.asp

- Download the Hexeditor from:

http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html

1. Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom)

2. Put NBFDEC in the same directory as the unzipped shipped rom files

3. Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt

to \Windows and view with notepad

5. Decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1:

nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1

6. Hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt

(probably only if using a rom from other provider)

7. Replace pattern for bigstorage in hexeditor:

locate the 02 00 00 80 00 20 and change 80 00 to b8 01 in the nk.nb1

(use binary search for this!!)

7. Encode nk.nb1->nk.nbf

nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf

8. run maupgradeut_noid.exe to upgrade CE image

Also, this way you will save the contents of increased \Storage folder if previous rom was bigstorage one

Usage sample (must be run from the same folder as nbf files or specify full path):

nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1

nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf

Many thanks OLTP for your reply....perhaps it's me but I still find that quite technical....when I have to rename stuff etc I'm not sure where it is to do it.

The tmobile branding piece is clear and I'll have a stab at that tonight though.

Perhaps I'm just destined to struggle with memory or buy a 128mb device.

Appreciate you taking the time though - anyone else want to have a pop at help a keen but useless gadget lover !
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
BS is unfortunately quite technical & this is the easiest way.

I suggest to remove the branding, that will save some storage. get more accustomed to your magician by exploring it without changing.

I can write you some steps for moving files to gain more ram.

maybe in the future you can think about BS again.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
pna: oltp's guide is about the best you'll ever get!

Basically, to debrand, do what he says in the first paragraph. This will remove all the additional TMobile gunk being installed. So, you need to hard reset (which will restore your system to "factory condition", and wipe everything), and then soft reset at the right time. Then you have a nice, fresh clean system. You can then read the board to see what files you might have skipped by achieving this, but frankly, you won't have missed much.

You can get your tmobile settings (for gprs etc) from here:

http://www.buymobilephones.net/sp3_setup.ihtml

FYI, before doing anything, get hold of a copy of GSFinder+ or a similar explorer. You will need it do any kind of installing/renaming etc.

Before venturing into the hardrest/soft reset business, consider if you want to do the big storage hack. Again, oltp's guide is perfect, but first the theory: the Extended Rom is like a small disk stuck inside your phone, carrying "backups" of the tmobile configuration stuff. If you do Bigstorage, it'll free that space for your use, giving you an extra 20mb or so to use for free. You can install stuff in there, and use it as a small, but bigger, disk to store stuff on. There's no reason not to do it, other than it's difficulty:

Difficulty? Yes, it takes some time, but instructions are provided, and clarified by oltp, so just follow the instructions carefully and you'll be fine.

It does require some knowledge, or confidence to learn.

So ideally, you want to:

1. Backup any files you want to keep.

2. Do Bigstorage.

3. Skip extended rom rubbish.

However, before you worry about bigstorage or anything technical, I suggest you just do this: clean up your system as it is now, and then just in future remember to install every program you want directly to your SD Card. If you do that, your system will generally have more than enough memory to run well. You can skip all the bigstorage and extended rom business. It's only necessary for those on a particularly tight memory budget. This should be fine for your needs I think.

FYI: to install onto your SD card, always choose NOT to use "main memory" when installing from your PC, or on the PDA, download and use a great program called cabinstl. That will allow you to install to your SD card.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nm8:
oltp, do you mean I cant rename, move, or delete any of the files in extended rom? So its safe even if they show?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Yes,

The magician ext-rom is write-protected. You can't delete the files. Nor format the space. Try it if you like with the delete of the file which mentions the loadvdisk. It's completely harmless, but if you want to be sure copy all cabs first to sd & execute them from there.

Btw the loadvdisk cab, present in a TMO ext-rom, will delete the loadvdisk.lnk from \windows\startup & that's why the ext-rom is hidden.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nm8:
ok.

the thing is, i want to edit my own extended rom, so next time i do a hard reset, it wont install unnecessary junk like skype and other customisation. i also want to add programs to it so they autoinstall when i do a hard reset.

any advice?

cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Sure,

You can use bal666's tool to convert the ext-rom part of a romdump to a diskimage which you can mount under Windows XP, with appropriate software ofcourse.

Then you can do whatever you want with your ext-rom. Requires flashing of your magician & a hard-reset.

For starters I recommend to skip executing of the ext-rom by applying a soft-reset just before the custmization starts after a hard-reset. This way you won't cripple your device.

Many thanks OLTP & vjay555,

The branding thing worked a dream and saved me 6mb.

Now want to do big storage. Have got all the downloads ready but just need a bit more help on the 1-8 settings.

I'm really sorry that I need such basic help - haven't really got a clue what I'm doing but prepared to give it a go - please help.

1. No problem with this...even I can do this.

2. Where is this...I assume I move them to the Magician using explore (through activesynch) - am I right...if so, is there an obvious place that the unzipped shipped rom files will be.

3. Can't find a copy of getdevicedata.exe, Where do i find it, and then how do I execute to write DeviceData.txt

5. Afraid I don't know how to do this

6. Happy to give this a go if I get this far

7. How do I do this

8. Happy to give this a go if I get this far

Also, a little confused in the section after no 8 - what do I do here?

Hope you haven't lost patience with me. Hope to hear back soon.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerFeniks:
Since i got my GSIII i've been tweaking and experimenting with the best setup to give myself a nice experience without draining the hell out of the battery (especially now that my battery is an aged piece of s**t that won't last more than 6 hours, maybe because of my own actions :D)

I've gone through many different ROMS, official test builds, kernel configurations, etc... but a thing that has ALWAYS caught my eye is the fact that every single CPU tweaking mod i've ever used only lists 3 cores on the device

I should point out that i own an international SIII (GT-I9300), which comes with the Exynos 4412, it's not the best, but it does it's job pretty well, even with the default PegasusQ governor, personally, i just switch the I/O Scheduler to SIO for better performance, since i have a ton of media on the phone

If the 4412 is a quad core why is that 4th core never listed? i might be overlooking somthing completely obvious and stupid, and i probably should have figured it out by now, it's been a while since i've been using android phones, but this question has bugged me since i bought the phone over a year ago... can someone please explain this? i'll be forever grateful
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modelistis:
Do you have power saving enabled or any app to save battery installed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerFeniks:
Neither of them... power saving disables two cores and makes the phone feel sluggish, and everybody knows battery saver apps are BS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleycat:
Cores are numbered from 0, not one. So the four cores would be 0,1,2,3. Making the total number of cores to be 4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerFeniks:
Somebody told me about this some time ago... but even the CPU usage display option in the developers menu only lists 3 cores (separated by slashes) it seems as one core is system reserved... for usage by the phone itself... not for user needs

However... i switched CPU governors yesterday... and i noticed number 3 popped up... i might have been the reason that core was missing in SetCPU... but the built in meter still shows 3 cores... not 4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP21:
What governor are you using? Also i noticed mine also show only 3 cores.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NigrumTredecim:
had the same bug on my s3 with cm 11 just now but it went away after reloading the governor (there is a different governor than what i was using that only has 3 core enabled, so it might just be a bug with the phone using the wrong governor or bugged governor setting)

edit: just did some more testing and the pegasusq governor i am using dynamically disables cores if usage is low (at least on cm 11, it just sets them to "stopped" on stock 4.3 with the same governor)
