@ DaVince

That's exactly what I wrote: it is "stupid", especially when speaking of a piece of software that sells for $14.95 (which barely buys you a dinner out with pizza, a dessert and a beer). Nevertheless, having people using "funny/tempered/cracked" versions of your software, and often even complaining (or asking support) is not that nice...

-------------------

@ benmyers2941

During Uninstall, all Face Contact does is to delete its own registry entries under the "Today Items" branch of the registry, and then it sends a message to advise the Today screen that it should refresh accordingly.

That's what Today plugins are expected to do during Uninstall, and that's all Face Contact does.

I don't know what your situation was, but if you are running Face Contact within some kind of tabbed Today screen extender (such as UL), and this doesn't track the "Today Items" branch of the registry (to react when a plugin is uninstalled) things may not go as expected.

Unless such "Today screen extender" behaves properly, you may need to explicitely disable/remove the Face Contact plugin BEFORE it gets uninstalled, otherwise the extender will keep it locked, or will try to keep launching after a soft-reset, with unpredictable results.

Sorry about your software getting cracked... That stuff happends to all apps, music, videos, it's the way the day of information technology works, and i know it must suck. It's like people taking money out of your pocket..

now for the good..

I enjoyed this software while my free trial lasted.

I am looking forward to the new edition and see what type of things you guys have planned.

And you'll have my 15 bux :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibbo:
We'll have a new release soon (sometime during June), and this will include a bunch of new options and improvements, including many of the items discussed in this thread.

Plugin "static" in SPB diary tab

I'm testing this app out and I like it so far. +1 for the revolving idea :)

The issue I'm having is that once the app is initially loaded on the today screen within an SPB Diary tab, it looks fine. If I navigate away from it and back however my screen ends up looking like the attached. I have to get the today screen to completely redraw to bring it back to normal. Anyone else seen this? This is on a Treo 750 running WM6.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibbo:
Wow... that looks kind of nasty.

It seems some video memory gets corrupted somehow.

We would like to reproduce the issue and understand if it's our own memory getting corrupted or if there's something bad happening within one of the SPB components.

You mention you are using SPB Diary, but the screenshot you attached suggests you are referring to SPB Phone Suite (with SPB Pocket Plus?).

We tried to reproduce the issue on a test device running SPB Phone Suite and Face Contact within the same tab of SPB Pocket Plus, but everything appears to work absolutely fine (see attached screenshot).

Can you please clarify what SPB components you are using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] senko.jin:
This is a good program/plug-in and I would like to see some of the features below added: (I think most of this was already mentioned here earlier)

1. Ability to resize the picture or the plug-in itself while the photos adopts to the size. With the contact pictures used by pocket Outlook going as big as 240x320, I don't think there would be any distortion.

2. Have the pictures rotating so that when I'm in the first contact, it will not be in the far right, but have a little gap(bump) between the first and the last contact as an indication that you're in the first contact or the last one. I think this will address the continuous scrolling issue that was mentioned in this thread earlier.

3. Have the background transparent. (deal breaker for me)

4. Option to add all contacts/contact groups but still maintain an option to manually add contacts.

5. Maybe a full screen caller ID. ;)

By the way, the price is really reasonable.

Just my two cents and my very first post. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Sure... it was SPB Diary with a custom tab that include Phone Suite and Face Contact. I also tried with Face Contact being the only plugin within an SPB Diary custom tab and was getting the same issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jpeepers:
I just downloaded the trial of this software and so far I like it very much.

I do have a question though. My background is black but when I select a contact or go to settings the background behind the pictures turns to gray? Is there a setting to fix this?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Feature Request

I would like to see the user option to have larger pictures on the plugin. I know some may prefer it the way it is but I would like them to be bit larger myself.

Thanks,

Curious G
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabibbo:
That's the color defined by the theme for "selected items". When a plugin is "active/selected" it is supposed to use that color to draw the background. Actually, in most cases, it's not even the plugin itself that draws the solid color. Most plugin ask the plugin hosts to do the drawing of the background, and it's the Today screen the draws the solid background if the plugin has the focus.

If you check some of the standard plugin that comes with WM (and move around with the up/down cursor keys so that they get selected without firing the associated window/event) you will see what I mean.

As it is now, the only workaround is the change the "selection color" in your theme with a darker gray or black (I think that's the same color used to show the selection/highlight in menus and list boxes).

On our side, as many people have been complaining about this, we will add an option to override the default behavior and show a transparent (or half transparent) background even when the plugin is selected.

I am eagerly awaiting this update as well. If you already paid for v1.0, you should not have to pay for an update to another 1.x version. If they up the version to 2.0,then maybe they will ask for a new payment, but I doubt it since this is only the first update....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] King of Rapture™:
Hi there,

I believe that you have introduced this program in March 2008, with an promised update in three months time, at the end of June 2008. The update is 9 months overdue. When you ask them about the promised update, they accuse you of wanting updates. They claim that that they want to publish a finished product.

Lots of freeware have taken over this program with constant and timely updates to improve them. However, this paid program is dead with no timely and constant updates.

People who want to buy this software, beware before giving your money to them. There are lots of free programs with better support and constant updates.

Don't waste your money on this crap! :mad:

KOR!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iTouch24:
can u recommend some programs that are better then this ... i am looking for one... especially VGA compatible...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] King of Rapture™:
Thanks for accusing me as your customer!

You email dated Sept 11, 2008 did this?

So, after the bull****, are you planning to release an update which was in June 2008?

This has been now nine months!

Or are you going to accuse me more as your customer?

Or bull**** me about releasing a new update?

Which ONE?

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Hey guys, I'm trying to fix an lg spirit (h440n)

The phone ran out of battery, and later when I charged it and rebooted, I couldn't get any service, and later realized that the IMEI is now invalid and is listen as "unknown" (as well as a couple of other things). Also, for whatever reason the phone takes a much longer time to boot up.

I'd really appreciate if anyone could assist me with restoring the IMEI.

So far I tried doing a factory reset, which didn't help at all (and now for whatever reason the youtube app appears as a generic android icon with the name com.google.android.youtube...etc.)

I do still have the original IMEI cause i saved the box from the phone.

By the way, I'm on android 6.0
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] mayankjet:
Try to reflash your stock rom with lg flash tool.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Hi,

so I tried doing that, but I keep running into several errors:

1) If I try doing a normal flash using a stock v20b ROM (android 6.0), the flashing software gives me an error saying "Problem with communication between cell phone and PC". It has some instructions on what to do to restart the flashing process, but it still doesn't work for me even if I do them

2) Flashing the v20b ROM with with the CSE flash method, I get an error on the program saying "Required info cannot be found. Contact the system administrator.."

3) Flashing a 10i ROM (android 5) with the CSE method, the flashing process goes to about 9% on the PC, then my phone reboots and for a split second displays an error with all red letters saying "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH", and after that the phone reboots as normal and the flashing process is once again failed.

I honestly don't understand where the problem is... I hope it's still possible to solve
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] mayankjet:
Go to this link

http://techtrickszone.com/2017/12/06/invalid-imei-number-after-flashing-android-phone/

If the above method doesn't work then try to flash lollipop rom with LG UP software as it is possible that the lg support tool could be having trouble flashing the rom.

Also please post a screenshot of the issue.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Seems like the method you sent me in the link requires for my LG to be rooted, which I don't think I'll be able to do - none of the one click root methods worked cause android 6.0 seems to have fixed the exploit those programs use, and doing it manually might also be troublesome cause I can't get the download mode to work with the phone.(Like I mentioned, the error "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH"). Sorry, I'm not able to post an image of the error cause I'm still a new user on the forums...

So I think LGUP might be my only hope at this point, but I can't get it to recognize my phone. It just shows up as an unknown device and I can't proceed with the flashing process
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tin40:
Go to this link:

https://lg-kdz-firmware.com/check-your-firmware.html

Open your phone from the back and remove the battery, then you will find the IMEI, write it on that site that i put a link to and you can find the right firmware for your phone, download it, download lg drivers (search on google for them) and install them, then try flashing with LG Flash Tool 2014, and make settings to be like this:

Select Type: CDMA,

PhoneMode: CS_EMERGENCY

and flash with CSE Flash.

To go in download mode turn off your phone and hold the volume down button while holding enter the usb cable in to the phone but it should previously be connected to the pc, hold volume down button until you sea a screen that shows you that you are in download mode than start the tool from your pc and flash the firmware.

Hope this helps.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Hi, I can't get my phone into download mode, the phone displays an error: "Boot verification Fail!! cause : DIFFERENT_HASH", and just reboots like normal and the flashing process ends up failing... I guess the download mode on my phone is somehow broken, though I can't find any way to fix it
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] mayankjet:
To enter download mode phone must be turned off then press and hold vol. Up button then plug in the usb cable. It is not the volume down button.

If Lg Up recognizes your phone as unknown device that's normal as it has happened to me as well. See if you can enter in download mode with keys, if you can't, just keep your phone booted into rom then start flashing lollipop kdz and your phone should automatically boot into download mode.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tin40:
On my LG Spirit 4G LTE h440n is the volume down button. The volume up is to go into the bootloader.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
In LGUP when my phone shows up as "unknown", I can't do the flashing process cause the program just says "You have to select a known model, please."

Edit: here is a screenshot

And about download mode, I know how to get into it, and it is indeed volume up+usb, but like I said, when I enter download mode it just displays that error message about boot verification failed, and the phone just reboots as normal. I thought maybe I'm not explaining it well enough so instead I filmed a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APlsn5gVvzw&feature=youtu.be

Tried everything in that thread, but sadly the result is still the same. I also followed a tutorial in this thread https://xdaforums.com/lg-spirit/how-to/how-to-install-marshmallow-lg-spirit-t3490045 but my phone is still not recognized by LGUP. I'm certain I followed the instructions correctly
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] mayankjet:
Sorry then as i can't think of anything else. If your phone is still under warranty period you can always send it to service center.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Ahh that's too bad. Well, thank you for your help either way! Sadly, the phone isn't covered by warranty anymore..

I think my best bet is to make the download mode work correctly. I guess I will have to keep searching
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] hitmancho:
I have an LG Spirit 4G (H440n) that lost its IMEI a month ago after shutting down because of a drained battery. After turning it on, the SIM card never got read and the IMEI was unknown. Following a lot of hurdles to reflash a .kdz from download mode I managed to flash a MM firmware and the phone rebooted with its IMEI intact. Then, after a while the phone shut down with a drained battery and the same thing happened. I reflashed and fixed it.

After that... Yeah, the phone shut down after a battery drain and now it doesn't have its IMEI again. Is there any way to restore it and keep there for good without reflashing the whole device from download mode? What could be causing? Should I watch out for the battery forever now?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] kiraqu33n:
Wow this really is strange. Just to be clear, this phone I was trying to fix was being used by my dad, not me, and he also said the problems started happening after his battery got drained. Unlike you, however, I never managed to even flash a stock ROM to the phone, cause for me the download mode still doesn't work.

Any LG gurus out there know what's going on with these phones?

Hi.

the app "feedback" drains at least 10% battery for each charge even if I disable the background activity.

The app cannot be disabled nor deleted.

Anything to do to avoid this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] santr33:
Yeah same here, dunno what to do...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DualBandWiFi:
Did you guys tried to disable it with the non-root adb method that was posted long time ago?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kudos1uk:
I have not had a problem with it, have you tried deleting the app data?

Also maybe settings>apps>feedback (the app)>battery> turn off background activity.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] tajima69:
Already disabled background and delete data. The issue persists. Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kudos1uk:
Where are you getting the 10% figure from, is it "apps usage" displayed under battery or in app info?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] tajima69:
Only in app info
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Siebenmik:
Install gsam battery manager, give it the proper authorizations (via adb or root if you are rooted).

Then post a screenshot again.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kudos1uk:
I thought you were looking in App info, that information is for more than one app, like the data figure it is the app and associated processes, if you click on battery and scroll down, you will see real usage by app, and feedback won't appear in that list because it's not using much at all.

My own was saying 10% but when I look under battery stats the highest usage was Google at 7%, Feedback App did not even appear in the list.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Shadician:
New to XDA, so hopefully this is in the right place!

My problem

I tried to install a new ROM and it's gone badly wrong. First, I couldn't get the recovery bootloader to launch or to re-install. Then suddenly ADB wasn't working any more, and I was unable to boot up into the system.

Now I get boot loops with the Oppo logo. If I hold down volume up + power, I have access to Fastboot. I can use my Mac to send commands with Fastboot, but I cannot get ADB to find my device. Typing Fastboot getvar all gives me 'All: ' in response, which is not a good sign.

Attempted solutions

I've tried installing TWP and CWM, but both of them just end up booting to a black screen. At one point I tried to flash stock Oppo recovery and got a black and white flickering recovery screen for my trouble, which was unresponsive..so I wiped it and started over. I suspect it was not the correct recovery file, as I really struggle to find what are definitely the correct files now the OppoStyle Forums where I used to download recovery files no longer seem to be active.

After two days of reading various threads and trying solutions, I am really out of ideas now. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Before embarking on this journey I cleared my phone of anything important, made sure it was rooted and enabled USB debugging. I also wipe everything from Fastboot whenever attempting any fresh flashes.

More context

I've had problems with my Find7 ever since I tried to unify my storage a couple of years back. In the end, I got unified storage to work but on a very old version of ColorOS. I had a lot of problems getting to that point, so from then I decided to just live with the outdated OS. But finally, the frustration of apps not being compatible got to me a few days ago and so I decided to try and install a new ROM. That's when my recent troubles began! I think legacy issues from my initial problems years ago may have contributed to the mess my phone is in now.

So what next?

Ideally, I'd love to get my Find7 completely wiped clean and a modern, stable ROM with unified storage working on it. But at this point, I'd settle for original ColorOS with non-unified storage again if I had to!

Hoping someone here has some suggestions I can try! Can't get worse surely :D
