[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
If you go back to stock, with S-ON, and find a rep that isn't going to go to the Sprint forums, and you play dumb about what happened - you might be able to get it replaced (given that you have the total equipment protection $7/mo). Otherwise you'll probably have to get with Asurion - $100.

If your phone is within the 30 day period from when you bought it, and you got it from an affiliate, then you should be able to get it replaced free. But if you bought it from Sprint then they probably won't replace given that it was rooted and the process of rooting it broke the 4G for you.....

Clear as mud?
[Vibrant General] Ilia_Z:
hi all

The phone dropped and the screen crocked. The screen was replaced,

Phone turns on, screen is fine, the only thing is not working is the bottom operation buttons

thanks
[Focus General] jeffbassell:
I love my new Focus that I bought yesterday, but I would like to know how, and where to download some ringtones? I havent been able to find a spot to do this. please any help would be awesome. Also if anyone could tell me a good twitter app to use that would be awesome. thx so much
[Focus General] emjee87:
As far as I know, you can't currently have custom ringtones.

As for a Twitter client, there's the official Twitter app which I use and find suitable, and the other well received app is Seesmic.
[Focus General] riceboyler:
Custom ringtones are supposedly coming in January: http://www.wpcentral.com/rumor-january-firmware-update-wp7-include-custom-ringer-support-more
[Focus General] BradM32751:
Wish it came in January, or February, but now onto March and still hoping. This should not be a difficult fix for them. Why are they trying to wrap up all these things into one huge update? Faster and smaller releases would do a lot for this new OS.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Once in awhile the phone will stop vibrating and it won't ring if I get email, text message or IM. Changed My SIM Card, even factory restored the phone and it still does it from time to time. Do you guys have a similar issue? After rebooting the phone the problem is fixed-but it's only temporary. I have stock software-no rooting...

Please help!

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
same thing

same thing here buddy. no idea. but luckily it doesn't do it often. i tend to check my phone so often anyway that it doesn't get in the way though. definitely weird. it's like the opposite of a phantom vibrate haha.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
I hope they come out with some kind of a fix for it-this is really annoying. Haven't seen a lot of people to complain though-strange!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
i didn't complain because i thot it was normal.

I don't get vibrate nor ring for txt's.

btw, sms = normal txts?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
Yeah, it isn't normal at all. I wonder if it is software problem, because if it was hardware I would thing the notifications wouldn't work at all.

Anyone has a solution please?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
Way above my skill-set. But when you near 45, I think you tend to get that way. :D:D

Seriously, if this could be used on our SGS, can it make for a smoother scrolling experience?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huxflux2003:
I'll try to merge this patch to the currently used kernel source and see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synflex:
Had the low latency patch applied and running for a while since.

Need some changes to get it in Android kernel, but nothing drastic, and judging by the code in tty_io.c, groups are created as per tty, would not work on Android, needs manual grouping, and have not seen any improvements though.

Not worth the trouble.

IMHO, scheduler isn't really the issue here, unless you're running a few CPU intensive programs in background, to which isn't the Android's way of doing things, you would be sharing the CPU intensive foreground app resource with background app, that has neg effect, things get slower instead.

"Low latency, the more responsive UI gets." statement maybe true but UI's 'responsiveness' has more than just a low-latency kernel to it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rbillingsley:
I have a Tilt 2 running the NEW ROM.

I want to disable the automatic pop-up of the soft keyboard, so that I get to decide when I want to use it.

Is there a way to turn this feature off?

I have seen references to making changes to the registry, I assume there is a switch in there somewhere, but how does one access the registry? Is there a hidden program somewhere I could start or do I have to download it?

Thanks,

Richard..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
You need to download a registry editor. There are various choices out there. I use Total Commander:

http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

The reg edit that I have seen for preventing the soft keyboard from popping up, helps a little. But it doesn't prevent it in all situations.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
As Redpoint mentioned, Total Commander is the preferred file explorer for most of us. Task Manager 3.1 is what I use for mobile registry editing. I do try to avoid doing any editing on my device, though. I rather edit on the PC side with the larger screen and less room for errors. For editing the device's registry from the PC, I use CEReg Editor 0.0.5.3.

For disabling the keyboard, you could try an app that I used to use on WM5 with my old Sable. It says it works with WM6, so give it a shot and see if you like it. It's called Nullkeyboard. All it does is add a blank SIP to your device. Select Nullkb from the SIP input button and you're good to go. Here is the link to the download.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bednorem:
I used Advanced Config. It gives you a nice way to select options and features and then change your registry for you. It is AWESOME for a tweaker. I'm using version 3.3.0.0 and it works great on my Tilt2 original OEM ROM.

Using this app, Under the Input category, change "Auto deply SIP" to disabled.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rbillingsley:
Okay, I downloaded the nullkeyboard and tried, it but it had no apparent effect.

I also downloaded the Task Manager 3.3 (latest version) and it works. I did a search for "keypad", but none of them appear to relate to controlling the pop-up feature.

Does anyone know what registry entry controls the soft keypad pop-up feature?

Thank you,

Richard..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Did you select the nullkeyboard from the SIP selection window that pops up when you press the right side of the soft keyboard icon?

You should NOT be searching around the registry for things to change without knowing what they are. Doing so can possibly screw up your phone and require a hard reset. You should only apply registry changes you see posted on here, and change them exactly as indicated.

The reg edit to prevent SIP for opening:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip

"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rbillingsley:
NullKeyboard - Oh, is that how it works? Thank you for telling me. It does the job, except for the times I would like to use the keyboard for quik edits, I have to change it back to the regular keyboard first.

REGEDIT - I found the registry key: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip

but there were no values in it for: TurnOffAutoDeploy

I added the value: "

TurnOffAutoDeploy

" value="

1

" (no quotes) with the type

REG_SZ

and then rebooted the phone. I also changed NullKeyboard back to regular.

This had no effect on the Auto Deploy of the keyboard.

I was hoping the RegEdit would work. The keyboard would be there, but would not pop-up until I wanted it.

If I did something wrong, or you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you,

Richard..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
I think the reg type should have been a DWORD value of 1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rbillingsley:
Great! That did it. The keypad stays out of the way and is there if I want it.

Thank you,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NanaSarah:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, cajunflavoredbob

I have one app in which the pop-up keyboard on my T-Mobile HTC HD2 drives me nuts, and several others in which I could do without it. You gave me the answer that I couldn't find in any of the other threads, and I really appreciate it.

If anyone is watching, this is another tweak that should go in a gathering of such things!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ahmed_Amin:
I doesn't work with me

please any one help me my application contains a lot of edit boxes when i focus on them the keyboard pops up i want the keyboard to pops up when i click on it only i tried all the solutions please any one list the steps
[Windows Phone 7 General] tittieslover:
Anyone know if there is a way to install apps/games of over 20 mb without a wi-fi connection. So far i found nothing

Thank you for your help

also zune cant seem to let me sync my music (mp3 format) it says format not supported
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
strange , I just synced over 1000 mp3 using zune with a usb cable .
[Windows Phone 7 General] solo21hd2:
You need to tick the box in Zune to have it auto-convert to an acceptable format and you're good to go.

As for apps over 20mb - that'd be via the client and a USB cable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Why users are not allowed to use their data plan to what they want to?

As for Zune - what about the music bought on the device?

It's not mp3?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
no , it is .wmv and if you sync an mp3 it will be converted to .wmv to .
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
To download an app larger than 20 MB, you need to be on a Wi-Fi connection or a connection to your Internet-connected computer via USB. Windows Phone 7 was designed for not only those with unlimited smartphone plans, but for those without smartphone plans or data capped smartphone plans. Therefore at this time, any apps over 20 MB must be downloaded over Wi-Fi/USB.

Download music from the Zune Marketplace can be in either a protected .WMA format (not WMV, as that is for videos), or an MP3. When you tap a specific song to buy or download, an MP3 will have a little MP3 icon telling you that you are downloading the song in an MP3 format. The same goes for purchasing music through the PC client. If you see an MP3 symbol, you are downloading MP3s, if you don't see that symbol, they are protected WMA files.

Symbol looks like:

_____
|MP3|
¯¯¯¯¯

If you set up the Zune software to convert files to a lower bit-rate during sync, then your files will be converted to the same format as your original file (though it seems only MP3 and WMA - if your file is not of these types, it will convert to WMA). Your original file, will not be touched on your computer, and only your device will contain the modified file.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So you mean you can buy mp3's from the phone and than just put it on the computer through Zune to have mp3 files there?
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
This restriction annoys me too, why not just have a pop up saying this is over 20meg, if you have a restricted data plan, it might be benifital to use Wifi or USB, do you want to continue?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tittieslover:
For the mp3 i was unable to sync because i was trying top copy and drop them direcly from a usb drive to zune ... I bad to copy them on my computer first and then it worked
[Windows Phone 7 General] solo21hd2:
The 20mb limit is an operator restriction, not a phone one. It used to be 10mb...
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
how is it an operator restriction? wasnt limited on the HD2 though the same operate. its WP7 that limits it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
As long as you make sure you are buying MP3s from the Marketplace, then when your phone syncs with the Zune the next time you plug it into your computer, it'll sync that MP3 file to your computer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Ok, got it....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Because some carriers have low data limits (like AT&T's 2GB limit and chain installing a bunch of large applications uses up tons of data). On top of that, if your data connection drops, then the file will have to start downloading all over again, which can lead to ridiculous data usage in low reception areas. Android does the same thing (restarts the download if the connection drops or something happens).

Music brought from Zune on a PC is downloaded in 320 kbps MP3 format. Just buy from the computer. The MP3s are huge, though. Like 10-15+ Megs per song, due to the high bitrate and low compression.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well I know what mp3 is, I'm the musician ;)

Anyway, WiFi can also drop, it actually happens more often.
[Windows Phone 7 General] numero:
How does connecting via. USB to download apps works? My PC is connected to the internet.

Phone connected - Check

Zune detects - Check

Login - Check

Browse Marketplace - Check

Buy Apps - Check

... then Zune says 'App will be downloaded soon'??!

Couldn't find any link to download in Zune. No option to sync Apps etc.

I have to:-

1. Disconnect phone from PC

2. Go to Marketplace and search for the App

3. Tap on Buy

4. "You've already purchased this. Would you like to install it again? message"

5. Tap on Install

6. Downloading starts

It's a hassle ... esp when I have bought a couple of apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
WiFi can drop, yes, but downloading **** off WiFi doesn't go against your data count with the carrier, and you always have the option of downloading with your computer over WiFi or a wired connection and then Syncing your phone via WiFi or USB.

I wasn't telling you what MP3 is. Someone said the files were WMVs. The music you buy off Zune aren't. The Subscription music (DRM'd) are low bitrate WMV files and they weigh in at like 4-6MB each (average). The brought MP3 files are high bitrate and weigh in at 10-15MB each.

I'm simply stating that if you are in a low reception area, or an area where the 3G->2G->3G handoff causes issues with downloads, you can end up using like 40 MB to download one MP3 from the Zune Marketplace. That is a real issue for people with a 2G data plan because they will also be syncing email, social network data, streaming music off Zune, and probably getting documents off SkyDrive, uploading videos to YouTube (that you can do trivially via email), etc.

If that happens 10x a month, that can be 300MB of your 2GB data limit, which is not a trivial number. For people like me who live in low reception areas, it can easily be more than that.

I only get a 1G (GPRS) connection here (rarely bouncing to edge), so don't talk to me about WiFi dropping more than a data connection. I'd probably use a Gig of data in month downloading due to failed connections and the phone restarting the download. WiFi is infinitely more reliable than ANY data network in this area, and I'm only 7 miles out the city. I've bounced between all 4 major carriers. They're all equally terrible - two of them don't get a connection here AT ALL.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
from what I have seen, if you download apps to your computer, then sync your phone, then they will show up in the marketplace on the first screen, bottom left corner, it will tell you. click on it and you can install them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So you see, different experience here.

My carrier is very stable most of the time. And fast.

Most of WiFi I use is unstable.

SO, I still think user should be able to decide what size of files are downloaded.

To control it's own device and react according to situation.

Again, treating users like idiots. That's why they cannot learn anything more sofisticated later on.

And using computer, well, that was not part of the question.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
To this I say, most users are idiots. Maybe not us here on XDA (at least, most of us), but the majority of people who buy phones do not spend their late evenings browsing the forums of places like this one.

Most people are absolute idiots and the reason why they don't learn is because they refuse to learn, not because someone didn't provide "advanced" options. Everything must be done for them or else they are completely dissatisfied. So to this end, Windows Phone 7 is far more fool-proof than say Windows Mobile 6.5 or Android, and that is simply because most people are idiots. I do wish Microsoft would provide more options, but at this early in the game, we've gotta take what we got and run with it. More options will come as the OS matures, so just hang tight.

You know how we learn? We learn because of these limitations. If these limitations did not exist, we'd have no need for XDA or similar sites. So while I'd love more options, I love the fact that the lack of some options allows us to learn new things and gives people the motivation to learn and solve these issues.

We are, only human, after all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
So you response to a reasonable post is to cry about it? No wonder I have you on ignore and have to click to read you posts.

I don't care how unstable you crappy WiFi is. You can always buy a new router with a range booster on them and get a more reliable WiFi. I cannot buy new Cell Towers to put in my back yard.

The entire comparison you're trying to put forth is asinine. You should be embarassed at the thought of attempting it.

And then you cry about my reply, and tell me I'm treating users like idiots.

Pro-Tip: Maybe if people would stop acting idiotic, people would stop assuming they are...

In the future I won't write walkthoughs on how to get things done, or answer trivial (but honest) questions about obviously exposed functionalities on phones and/or websites. I'll just ignore the user, because typing out these huge posts are apparently offensive to them. They are intelligent, even though they return phones becaue they can't spend 20 minutes moving their contacts from outlook to Windows Live, and cant figure out how to move their calendar over... Yea... All that!
[Windows Phone 7 General] numero:
I bought Monopoly today to see if I have missed out ... but didn't see any reference to it in Zune. Not in Marketplace, Quickplay, Phone etc. In fact it's stated that "Phone apps won't appear in your Apps Collection in Zune on your computer."

I have to access Marketplace on the phone to download it ... am I missing something?

anyone else having this predicament?
[Omnia II General] abdelrahim:
Ihave flashed my omnia with vista 32 bit and windows 7 64 bit ...flashing with vista 32bit is easy but you need to update the vista driver...

For windows 7 64 bit you need to stop the stupid driver signature enforcement at the start of windows by pressing F8 during the bootloader or installing DSEO( Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider) which is a free application( and you can google it) to do that before updating the driver ...there is a specific driver for 32 bit and 64 bit in windows 7....I have attached vista driver and w7 23 and 64 drivers....
[Omnia II General] kromo1:
maybe somebody can help me.

i made some flash to my fone, no problem under w7. onde day trying a new flash, the mobile simply don't talk with my pc.

Currently, I download podcasts on vista desktop. I then synced it with the phone. Can you do the same from phone, bypassing download to vista?

BTW, the zune application that is on the phone, is that only a player and to download podcasts I need full blown zune software?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Good question. I hadn't considered looking for that until you just asked, but I don't see any way to download podcasts from within the app. It works great with the Zune client on PC though, and the software blows iTunes away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
I haven't tried this but I see no reason why you couldn't subscribe to a podcast via an RSS reader or manually download them via the mobile browser.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Correct. I've been using a Zune HD (I'm in the UK) and on the Zune software from the Podcast section in the Collection you can manually enter RSS feeds or download individual episodes.

I would think it's the same for WP7.
