Pretty hard to see in the sun...Other than that I've had no issues with the N1 screen.
[Nexus One General] h_zee13:
Xperia X10 with 2.1 update has that kind of feature....when you tap on a word, a zoomed version of the word appears in the prediction spot and you can easily move the cursor
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
My Vibrant with Froyo also has zoom like feature, its not zoom, but its for the same reason to move cursor easy. The only problem is in my beta Froyo this feature is not active like here in forum, it does work great in say url bar of browser or other apps.

Unfixable... I don't know the meaning of the word.

This was very helpful thank you!

I want to get an optimus 7 and unlock it but i was counting on a website since i don't have an unlock guy. Is your guy by any chance in montreal?

And if not then do you think unlockallcellularDOTcom will work?

Also, how are you liking the optimus 7's hardware(not wp7's missing features)?would you pick it over the surround?
[Optimus 7 General] Talys:
Unfortunately, my guy is in Vancouver, and I have no experience with unlockallcellular.

I love the Optimus 7's build -- it is an extremely well built, sturdy device. I chose it over the surround (basically the same price) because I don't have occasion to use the slideout speaker, and the LG is thinner.

The only hardware aspect I don't like is the micro-USB plug on the side.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Try typing "LG Optimus 7 Unlock" in Ebay.ca, there only option there is mobilexpresscanada, which charges $25 right now to unlock it, and that is the price through ebay. On their site, the price is at $40. I have used their services in the past, and they are often very reliable and fast. I have yet to unlock my own Optimus 7, as I see no need for it yet (I travel to Europe and Middle East after May, so the price and need might be different then), however, there are possitive reviews regarding the unlocking of the Optimus 7 on their Ebay page. Good luck.
[Optimus 7 General] DaemonB:
I'm having a problem with the same model phone. I've put a bell SIM that I just picked up in the phone and it's not prompting me for an unlock code. I've purchased an unlock code from a site I trust, but it's kind of hard to enter it with no prompt.

Did you have to do anything special for the unlock prompt to appear?
[Optimus 7 General] jessiethe3rd:
I'm having issues... I walked through the APN settings and all on the E900h but I still get that triangle which basically says no data. I have the phone unlocked and all... thought maybe I need to put some setting in the MFG up or something? Really confused... I get cell coverage but zero/nada on Data/3G.
[Optimus 7 General] GolfVR6:
There's any way to set the MMS server of a carrier that's not preset on the "Profiles" of MFG App?

Thanks
[Optimus 7 General] radeon_x:
Can anyone confirm this?

Does an unlocked Telus Optimus 7 think it's roaming when it's on the Fido network?

I know that was an issue with older GSM phones due to the Rogers/Fido network code renaming...
[Optimus 7 General] roach_779:
no power supply while tethering

I noticed when I left my optimus in tethering mode the battery kept going down even while connected to computer via usb. There seems to be power because when it got down to zero, the usb kept powering my optimus. Is the power supply in tethering mode reduced? Anybody with similar experience?
[Optimus 7 General] aguiamaster:
any idea how to take the menu MGF back again to "normal" ? because sometimes we could have to send back to LG and they will notice, after i did this (only put that engenier code the phone unlocked for any network ) hahahaha is this possible ? how back to normal anyway ?
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Well, the MFG app can be deleted like any other app. So there is that. And I am pretty sure your phone is NOT unlocked for all networks when you put in ##634# and then enter 277634#*#
[Optimus 7 General] TheLawTag:
I would like to ask the OP if he attempted to input the unlocking codes he received from the website, more than 3 times?

I also received codes from a website and after 3 attempts at inputting them at the pin screen, the phone now asks for a PUK code?

I thought this odd.

I put my sim that came with the phone back into it and it did not ask for any other code.

I have now tried sims from 4 other networks, from friends etc, and every time it asks for a puk code.

Any info you can provide would be great. I have gone to hell and back with this phone I plan to make a big tutorial at the end so that nobody else has to go through the same.

There is so much mis-information on the internet about these handsets, its unreal

Cheers

TLw
[Optimus 7 General] radeon_x:
Confirmed: The phone is always roaming on Fido. So it's a bit of a hack in that you have to enable data while roaming - just need to be careful to disable data in case you are ACTUALLY roaming.

The hint with setting Data-Connection to OFF was the clue.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt105:
Hey everyone, I want to get some TV episodes on my phone. How should I format the video? I know H.264 or whatever, but what size and is there anything else I should do?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
Just use arcmedia and not bother with conversions. It plays all the episodes I've grabbed from the internet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
Even the media center on the phone will play avi's sometime it'll mess up but for the most part works find... arcmedia has always worked flawless for me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt105:
Yeah but I want to reduce file size ... No need to put a 500MB episode on my phone. I guess I should just reduce it to the resolution of the screen eh?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapo916:
Yeah match the screen resolution to save cpu. For longer battery life make the res even lower. It isn't that bad really.
[Droid 2 General] Chiggins:
So I downloaded the DX/D2 Overclock app from the market, but I don't really know what to set it to. I'm a heavy texted that uses a bit of 3G. Not a lot of gaming, the most I do is Angry Birds or a GameBoy emulator.

Based on that information, what would be some good overclock values for me to set?
[Droid 2 General] scoob55:
personally, i would set it at a medium voltage with the scaling govenor on performance and the scaling bars set to max 1000 and min whatever you like....i keep it at 1000/1000 but battery is costly
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
If you want to overclock I use the 1.25 low voltage.
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
After seeing this thread I got the app and I'm at 1.15 ulta low voltage. Voltage is similar to stock.

Stock. Overclock

Slot 1 - 400Mhz 33v 400Mhz 36v

Slot 2 - 600Mhz 48v 700Mhz 51v

Slot 3 - 800Mhz 58v 900Mhz 56v

Slot 4 - 1000Mhz 62v 1150Mhz 62v

Not a massive increase in speed but still noticeable. Hopefully keeping the voltage close will help prevent overheating. Probably stay at 1.15 for a few days to see how everything goes. If it's stable and doesn't overheat and depending on how it affects battery life I might crank it up and see how it goes.
[Droid 2 General] lerret:
I run 1.35ghz low voltage. Rock solid and no heat issues.

As long as you don't set it to boot with untested settings you should be fine experimenting. I tweak settings and run quadrant to check for performance. Trial and error.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pinkstuff:
I really dont get it I have seen some really nice roms on lesser phones than my touch diamond that run beautifully - Take the Htc Polaris i have never had any problems palying about with roms on that phone, specs wise its inferior to my diamond. Correct okay, so why no matter what rom i flash my ram eats up to the point where i have to stop and start again, pissed of man..Htc polaris i opened up the works on it had everything and it was kool - oh yeah and i put windows 6.5 on it for fun with the touchflo 2d and it was okay - I am baffled, really i am..

Maybe by telling you to search this forum so you find several topics about getting your phone to nordic or general, and than update by seus on your computer, that might do the trick...
[Vibrant General] draikz:
Does it recognize any of your devices? x) It doesn't recogize my Vibrant :D

Wasn't sure if this was supposed to go in Q/A or general because many people might have this problem :p

I got the newest Kies btw. v1.5.3.10103_100
[Vibrant General] StridBR:
Same problem here!

Just came here looking for a solution... anyone? :)

[Vibrant General] zerosource:
kies never work for me. will never install it again =[
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Use kies mini and windows XP seem to work. Its clunky software to begin with.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Do you have a different launcher installed, if so you have to go into settings > manage applications>( whatever launcher your using) clear defaults. Now press the home keys and press the touchwiz launcher when it ask you which one you want now open kies on your pc then on your phone go to settings> application>usb settings> check samsung kies. Now plug in your phone into your usb thats plugged into your pc enjoy.

AND YES USE KIES MINI!
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Arent you suppose to turn on usb debugging on after samsung kies
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
No you can if you want.
[Vibrant General] serendipityguy:
Do you have the current "Samsung Vibrant USB" drivers for your OS ?
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Kies mini should install samsung drivers when you install kies.
[Vibrant General] draikz:
Haha, it still doesn't detect my phone :P
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Kies mini works for me on Win 7 32bit but not Win 7 64bit.

Oh and for those that it's not recognising are you selecting Kies in the USB options? Settings/Applications/USB Settings. Just a thought not trying to be a wise a**.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Can you tell us exactly what your doing, I mean if you can't get it to work from the instructions I gave you then theres really not much more me or anyone else can help with.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Having USB debugging will cause Kies mini to not see your phone. So USB debugging (unchecked), Kies (Firmware Update)(Checked)
[Vibrant General] Pig Vomit:
Wow....lots of misinformation here.

You are doing nothing wrong. Latest Kies says Vibrant is not supported. See my earlier post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838749

If the earlier version doesn't work, then try unmounting your SD card for the sync (if that's what you are trying to do). You can remount after the sync.

Hope this helps. It's ridiculous that Kies is not supported for US phones. Why can't I sync with Outlook? Completely unacceptable. My next phone will be HTC, since they understand the importance of actually supporting their customers.

BTW....What exactly are you trying to accomplish with Kies? What exactly is happening when you try to connect? MTP problems?
[Vibrant General] groggycl:
that worked for me!! thanks man, I spent all day trying to get this working...

1° conect the usb cable (you have to set your phone to ask you what kind of connection you want, mass storage, kies, etc..)

2° without selecting one, open kies on your pc (worked with kies and kies mini)

3° select kies mode (doesn't need usb debbugin or anything)

Just a comment, even now I got it working, this software (maybe driver i don't know) is a piece of s#$%.. :)

Older Kies mini worked for the vibrant update..I can't connect either my vibrant or galaxy tab threw kies..I can mount and swap files but update	NOPe!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Palmsterguy:
I've had my droid for about 3 months now and I'm thinking of rooting my droid I have the one push of a button root but after I root it what do I do. My friend was telling me about kernals and roms but I don't know were how to do this. I know I'm a newbie but please any assistance? Would be nice thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] maxohkc:
MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP.... After that you can Overclock, download new UIs, Roms and Themes...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chevyboy_0:
x 90 billion

whenever you flash a new ROM or Kernel, just in case your phone doesn't like the Kernel you flash. for example my phone doesn't like anything but a Low Voltage Kernel, whereas my friends Droid doesn't like anything but Ultra Low Voltage Kernel. Each phone is different.

Currently my phone is running CyanogenMOD 6.1RC4 with the NEXtheme with the Stock CM 6.1 Kernel. So far I absolutely love it. I am so happy that I decided to Root my phone. Now Im slowly teaching my self how to build ROMS and themes and such. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Grizzld:
Un-root it, of course...

umm why? lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shmoo_45:
I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpstyle36:
I'm not entirely sure if someone has already said this or if anyone knows how to do it, but I have and its really useful !

Basically you can drop the Density of the screen and give it a larger appearance. Best way to do this in my opinion, is to grab yourself a copy of Droid Explorer, browse into the system folder in your root, save a copy of Build.prop to the desktop, open it with notepad, find LCD DENSITY=240 or whatever it is :) and change the value to 180, replace the build.prop in Droid explorer with the one from your desktop and reboot your device :D

If you don't like it you can always go back in and change it back ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skiddhard:
Sorry for the noobish question. But I am not quite sure I understand what this does. Could you explain just a wee bit? Even better if you could post before and after screenshots.

Cheers....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uiterlix:
Uhm, Nothing new I'm afraid. There are already some apps in the market that let you do just this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crazytimechris:
Its Changing the resolution of the screen so that everything is slightly bigger (or smaller) by editing the value.

Thank you for the info!

EDIT - Sorry I posted this too late! A mod can remove it if you want...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skiddhard:
Oooooooh. Got it.

But IMHO I dont see why I (or anyone else for that matter) would personally want to do something like that. Unless, it just for kicks. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
It's not changing the resolution. It's changing the dpi settings.

Why is this in the dev forum?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
For the same reason Samsung went with Rfs : unknown
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kel Ghu:
There is an app on the market. LCDDensity it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] japperrrr:
Is this still being applied after restarting your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Murmur95:
The point of it is to have a larger viewing area, which is great for things like viewing webpages or documents but it can break games and certain designed UI's (like touchwiz)

Having ADW + Density change looks good though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbrugger:
Pff. Changing this value kills too much apps (like LauncherPro, Simi Clock and others).

So, changing this value renders most of your apps unusable.

Not working for me anyhow.

ps. I do not like the changed settings either, the screen feels like having a blur on it. (tried 100 and 180 as values).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpstyle36:
Thanks for all the feedback :) sorry i was un-aware that there was an app for this ^^ also if you go to the Android Market and grab "Spare Parts" and turn off Compatibility mode, 99% of apps will scale fine to the change :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tijs14tijs:
Seems not to be a good idea on my galaxy s. Everything resizes and loks cool except the build-in apps:agenda, calculator, dailer, mp3player cdmode. Those apps did not change resolution ;(

But still i have to admit: density of 200 looks much better than 240 ;)

Cool app, stupid samsung apps!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
I would greatly appreciate any insight as to how screwed, or not screwed i am. I poured 50% rubbing alcohol into my phone where the usb plug is on the bottom because the connection has been bad or loose. I was not thinking about the "touchy" nature of LCD screens, i just knew that rubbing alcohol was good for almost everything else. I dried the phone off, of course had the battery out the whole time... and let it sit for 13 hours. I turned it on, and after that, the screen is a lot darker (in certain spots, actually most spots) and you can see all these blotches inlaid into the screen. IS THIS PERMANENT? Can i use a blow drier with success? put the phone into rice? stick the phone right underneath a dehumidifier?? ive also read crazy things like spraying WD40 in there will displace the liquid, sounds dumb to me though. Please offer me some insight, is this happening because there is liquid in there still? or because the chemical nature of the alcohol permanently ruined or stained the LCD components? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
No responses? I've gone with inserting the phone into a vent of a dehumidifier, on high, with a space heater a foot away to help with evaporation further. if this doesnt fix it, nothing will. Can anyone who has better knowledge of LCD's then me (obviously) tell me whether or not there is any hope?, waiting to see what happens is driving me crazy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mstevens:
Nice troll attempt, but looks as if it isn't going to work.

No human being who's able to type is actually that stupid.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
as if i dont feel like an idiot. so moisture voids a warranty, insurance with ATT doesnt care right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 33colburn:
I had the same problem with a blackberry.

I used a contact cleaner to clean the usb port and some of it entered into the layers between the lcd glass plates. I make circles and cloudy lines across the screen. What I did was place the phone on the dash of my car on a hot sunny day. After the day in the sun the contact cleaner had started to evaporate from under the screen. Rubbing alcholol has a very high evaporation rate as compared to the liquid used to suspend the liquid crystals. I would try a hot light buld placed 6 to 10 inches above the phone to heat it slowly and evenly. The rubbing alcohol should eventually evaporate/dispurse to the edges of the lcd glass plates and remove itself. The hairdryer may also work on medium heat. If it is no longer hot where you live the dashboard techniques may not work for you. I may take a day but it worked for me.

Good Luck.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
Thanks very much for a glimmer of hope. I appreciate that. Its no longer warm here in the northeast so im resorting to methods similiar to what you said, and actually had a light bulb on the phone that i use to keep my reptiles warm, earlier today. I really appreciate your response. The thing that worries me is that it was 50% isopropyl alcohol, so the other 50% percent is water, obviously i feel like an idiot and was slightly buzzed, not thinking. Im hoping the water aspect of the solution doesnt screw me, id rather have dumped 100 percent alcohol on it. what did this cleaning solution you used consist of? Once again, thanks for your response because the stupid feeling of "im an idiot" has been eating at me all day, now i feel some hope. and possibly less stupid. once again, i do know im a freakin dummy for not thinking about this first, etc. thanks for the responses.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you have insurance in addition to your warranty, as you stated, AT&T should cover the water damage just the same. You could just called them and ask them to confirm or deny that they would cover it, though. Otherwise, if you're using the light bulb, Make sure to keep an eye on it so you don't damage the digitizer. Plastic does melt. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
I SINCERELY appreciate all the input guys, as opposed to giving me the run around. GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANK YOU! Will post the results of this in due time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
Well, after 24 hours of first putting the phone under a heat lamp, then literally shoving the phone into a dehumidifier, with a space heater nearby to aggravate evaporation, turned the phone on after all that and the screen seems improved but still far from acceptable. So i came across the old "put the phone in rice trick" im goin balls to the wall, phone is submerged in rice, multiple silica packets, and to top it off i put a heat lamp 10 inches above this rice/silica concoction, after an hour of doing this i already saw a considerable amount of water condensing onto the inside of the rice bag. Will post the results, ive heard 6 hours works for people, 24 hours, 3 days, and a couple weeks in extreme cases, most seemed to resolve. I think ill wait 24 hours, most people dont use rice AND silica AND a heat source. And ill take another dig at myself: I know most people (the majority of people) dont pour liquid onto their phone intentionally.

Just keeping the community informed. And again, thanks for the helpful responses.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hardcoresmylife:
ITS NOT AN OLD WIVES TALE OR AN URBAN LEGEND!!!!!

After 24 hours of my phone being in a bag of white rice, with silica packets, and a warming bulb 8 inches above, the screen looks freakin amazing! there are only a small amount of pixels at the bottom of the screen that look wet, i 99 percent have my screen back! NO NEED FOR A NEW PHONE NOW!!! Just letting it shake and bake for a little more to get that tiny remainder out. When i first heard about rice working (after having tried a dehumidifier) i thought theres no way in hell that is going to work. I was a skeptic, used this as a last resort (should have been my first resort and will be in the future), and am definitely no longer a skeptic about this method. IT WORKS!

I AM AMAZED.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You should have posted before, during, and after pics of this little experiment. It would have been interesting. Perhaps you could spill some water on it and try again with pictures. :D
