[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
This might just be a feature request for the future of WP7, but I was wondering if there is a current solution. I searched and couldn't find info about this so sorry if it's already been asked.

I know multi-tasking is not allowed on WP7, at least for now, but enabling Push Notifications within an App doesn't actually push the item (SMS, email, etc) to the App at the time of the notification. It still has to download the item when you go to check the App. Is there any way to make an App download an item at the same time that the push notification is received?

To clarify, an example is with GoVoice receiving an SMS. You get an on-screen notification that there is a new message. It has obviously already downloaded the message because it shows you the text of the message in the notification on-screen. When you go into GoVoice, the new item is not there and you still have to wait for the program to download the message... but hasn't the phone already downloaded the message? Isn't it duplicating its own efforts? Does someone have a solution to this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
i noticed similar kind of push notification issue. When i go to email and sync, it gets say 3 mails.. i read and delete and come to main screen and see that live tile shows 3. now again i go into the mail and come to home.. then it is cleared. kind of doesn't make sense. same case with marketplace also.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
No, the push notification is a message from the Home server letting you know there is information... It's separate from the actual app downloading the information... If it were that easy, every app would have push/toast notifications... You're required to have a server which will handle these notifications for you..

I've noticed this happens when you hit the Home button to get away from the app rather than using the back button, so the OS doesn't immediately sense a "closing" of the app, but it should auto update the tile within a few minutes...
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
But could a developer pull the message directly from the WP7 notification somehow rather than completely re-downloading it since WP7 already downloaded the message once?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
In short, no. The slightly longer answer is that the developer can do this if the app in question is already running - but if that were the case you wouldn't receive a live tile notification so...

I'm not sure I understand the problem though - in your example, downloading the new text message should take next to no time at all so there should be little to no delay when opening the app (if the developer has done it right of course).
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
Thanks for the reply. i will try back button this time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Not a problem, I get frustrated going back through countless menus so I constantly use the Home button, but the live tile updates fairly quickly for me
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
The problem is that my 3G connection is very unreliable. It's almost always on Edge at home and at work so downloading messages takes a long time.

[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Im not to impressed on the ringers and alerts that are available. Seeing that this device is more sophisticated and more business driven, I was hoping for better ringers and alerts. I just want a simple telephone ring instead of a instrumental. Im passed that stage. Txt message alerts are ok but I really want to use some custom ringers such as the voice saying I have a text message.

Any hopes of ringer customization?
[Venue Pro General] eyan15:
No official news on it, but you can use Chevron to side load the ring tones

[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Apple’s magical slate is going to snatch up 50 percent of the projected 45 million tablet sales in 2011, ViewSonic predicts and According to the Alan Chang, ViewSonic Asia Pacific president at the Taiwan market, Apple is aims to share 10% of the remaining non-iPad market, an equivalent to shipments of over two million units.

To realize it, The Company is plans to launch its products across a variety of price-points. View Sonic has just launched its ViewPad 7 in Taiwan for around $480 US and is planning to launced it in the North American market sometime this year. Furthermore, the company also plans to release a 10-inch version, a 5-inch version and a 9.7-inch version which built around Nvidia’s Tegra 2 platform, Android 3.0 at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

So, they are really planning a honeycomb tablet, and hopefully, we can get a upgrade to the G-tablet as well.
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
If not, someone here will get honeycomb working for gtab as rom. That's the one I'm waiting on anyway.
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Aren't these tablets equipped with tetra 2's?
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
Gtab? Yes. But running 2.2 that was skinned with a dysfunctional interface and very low performance hardware drivers.

Its about 50% fixed from viewsonic updates. Users can get that up to about 80% fixed with a performance patch and maybe 85% fixed with custom roms. The rest will come when we get flash fully certified in Jan and tablet certified market late spring.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelouane:
Hi,

I have a vibrant and when I was trying to change the ROM back to what I had previously, the phone got stuck, I can reboot to the recovery mode but that is not helping, I tried everything. Can someone assist me with this?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Could you be a little more specific.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Try getting into download mode. Then you can use odin to go back to jfd then ji6, or one of the froyo roms. Look in the bible sticky up top for odin flashable roms.

To get into download mode.

Pull the battery, put it back in. hold the up and down volume buttons. Do not touch the power button. Then plug the usb into the phone.

Next time this should be in q and a section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Please tell us what rom are you downgrading from.

Did you have voodoo or any other lagfix enabled?

Are you able to get into download mode to odin back to shipping stock if necessary?

Ok, I got my phone to start on download mode and have been able to use odin. Thank u all for the help
[Captivate General] rg400smarttowel:
Does it really matter to flash back to stock before i install a new rom. I know that it is recommened but is there really any drawback of just flashing over the current rom?
[Captivate General] RonH54:
If you just updating the Custom Rom with a newer version of it don't think there huge deal not going to Stock 1st still might need to Wipe Data and Cache. But if you going to totally new Custom Rom I think I would go to Stock 1st.
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
You know, if the ROM author recommends you flash back to stock then you should probably follow that recommendation...
[Captivate General] pmd5700:
In my experience, it's just better to flash to stock. The ROM creator might say it's fine to flash over a previous ROM, but it seems like most of the problems people have are caused by flashing over an existing custom ROM and are fixed by flashing back to stock then flashing the new ROM.

Just my 2 cents!
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Yup. It seems very hit or miss when just flashing over a rom so I always flash stock first. Look in any rom thread and you'll see countless posts of people flashing over their existing roms and experiencing force closes and other issues. I even flash stock when upgrading an existing rom. This may be overkill, but I've never had issues doing it this way.
[Captivate General] Dungeon47:
I always do, even if it is just an update to the same ROM. The main reason is that if I end up really liking this new ROM or update, I want to make sure that it is as clean an install as I can do, so I don't have to re-do it later just work clean up a mess.

Which version of unrEVOked did you try? I seems like a driver issue as you have to install the modified Hboot drivers for unrEVOked in a certain way before unrEVOked will work. If you attempted root with unrEVOked 3.21, did you follow the steps mentioned in thi thread?:

I used this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044

and I stuck at 3. point... On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.

and after that i am unable to connect desire to pc... no way...seems like something happend with usb driver in phone or i dont know...just i ve tried 3 computers for now and every reports same when I connect usb, that device is unknown
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
What Hboot do you have?

What is your PVT version? (also check the Bootloader for this info)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
0.93.0001 and I forgot...I stucked at third point because i got there no option HBOOT USB
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
And your PVT version?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
Bravo pvt1 ship s-on

hboot-0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Ok, thank you for that info.

To tell you the truth, with unrEVOked 3.21, you must install the modified HBOOT drivers for it to work, otherwise it will not work at all.

Please try following this guide as it is definately requied. I asked you above if you had tried going through it, you mentioned that you had only tried using the guide in the first link, but you definately need to have the modified HBOOT drivers installed to proceed.

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Try what is suggested and let me know if you can proceed past step three after configuring the HBOOT drivers first, as it is a must.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
Well I tried connecting usb cable in bootloader menu but no HBOOT USB PLUG appeared and in device manager i dont have Android 1.0 device. and this is the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Hmm... yes i see what you mean. Unrevoked is fussy regarding drivers. Try the following:

1) Uninstall HTC Sync completely, the HTC Driver Setup, and HTC BMP Driver if present.

2) Reboot and reinstall the HTC Sync software (latest version).

3) Now uninstall HTC Sync Alone. Keep other two (HTC Driver Setup and HTC BMP Driver) installed.

4) Reboot your PC again.

Note: do not connect phone to PC at all and make sure the phone is switched off.

5) Switch your phone to the Bootloader screen. Connect the phone via USB and it should show Fastboot USB.

6) Windows will show the device detection dialog box - at this point, stop Windows from getting the driver from Windows Update, and manually choose the location of the driver as the folder where Unrevoked driver is present.

7) After this is done, diconnect phone again.

8) Go through the unrEVOked guide and connect the phone when advised to.

If this fails, then try unrEVOked 3.22 (in my sig below) and see how that goes and although you have mentioned that you have tried 3 different PC's, you may have to consider trying it on a different OS platform, such as Linux.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
ok, i tried what you suggest, but desire refused any other driver...and keep installing unknown usb device driver
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Try downloading the Android SDK: installer_r08-windows.exe

Follow the steps in this video to hopefully get the appropriate USB drivers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66J6UiN5Pg&feature=player_embedded

EDIT:

With the phone connected, try the following afterwards:

Check to make sure that you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.

In Device Manager, right-click your Unknown Android device and select 'Update Driver Software'. Browse to the folder (extract the zip to the Desktop) i have attached below and see if it installs them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
OK, i will try the thing with sdk..i am downloading files right now, but that makes no sense to download any other windows drivers. I think the problem is inside of the phone, because it represents itself like unknown device to any computer with any drivers...if there is a way to restore flash memory or something...well looks like i will have to wait one month for reclamation...how this could happen my god
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I agree... it is clearly an HBOOT driver issue or the phone... Windows (PC host) drivers are seperate. I was just running out of ideas really :)

The only definate way of knowing if it is the device that is causing this issue is if you were to try it on a non-Windows related OS, like Linux and maybe it would work for you using an Ubuntu Live CD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
well this is good idea...do you think it could also fix the usb issue for windows when i will root my phone in linux?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Yes, because it is not as fussy with drivers as Windows is - with Windows, they have to be properly removed from its cache. With Linux, the phone should be detected ok (unless the phone is at fault).

Here is a simple guide that you can follow:

Keep those fingers crossed ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
So, linux didnt work either, system didnt even recognize that anything was plug in. Even crossed fingers dident help :) Well only last thing I have to ask, if there is any possibility to recover hboot, restore it somehow. Forexample through recovery menu in hboot loader and some kind of .zip file, that i will put to SD card. If not, well I will have to step out to that freezing weather and walk to orange store for reclamation, which I hope would be positive for me, but something telling me it surely will.

I found something about usb unbrick here on xda forum, but is only for root phones :(

well i found this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15 i think it could work, just i dont know a way how to discover my CID number..to modify mtd0.img file

ok, i did everything step by step using rageagainstthecage tutorial, but nothing happend at all.

If anyone could help...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Are you able to get into Fastboot?

I suppose running your stock RUU in Hboot won't make a difference then... how about trying the PB99IMG method, which involves renaming the extracted rom.zip file to PB99IMG.zip from your stock RUU, placing this to the root of your SD card and then letting it run from Fastboot mode. This would restore your stock Hboot. You could also try AlphaRev's modified 0.93 HBOOT with S-OFF?

Hello,

I've set-up my hotmail account at my phone and I'm stuck with something.

When using my hotmail with my browser, it will send the mail from a different adres than my regular hotmail adres. (from my own domain) However, when I send an e-mail from my phone, it will always send my mail from my hotmail adres.

Is there a proven working method to downgrade hardware 003 hboot 2.02 to ENG build?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogos:
If your device shipped with hboot 2.02 then you cannot downgrade to anything lower than 2.02. The partition table changed with the release of these devices. The older hboots cannot handle these changes.

Also, the only reason why the ENG hboot is "better" is because it has some extra fastboot commands enabled. None of these commands are needed in order to root your device, install custom recoveries, or install custom roms. It really only helps out developers, and even then there are other ways to accomplish the same tasks.

So, no, don't try to downgrade your hboot. You will most likely brick your phone.

I have two Task Managers installed: "System Panel" and "Advanced Task Manager"

When I use the above two apps to check my free memory (RAM) available, it always shows around 75-100 mb remaining

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sax1981:
Why not?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Starting in Froyo, Android has become more efficient at it's own native memory management than past versions and Gingerbread continued that improvement. What this means is that if Android starts running low on RAM, it will start killing things itself and reclaiming/reallocating the memory without the need for a third party app. The other concern about using a TasKiller most people raise is that if you set it to autokill, system apps or other sort of apps that need to be run(such as Facebook widget, other kind of widgets, noLED, et al) will relaunch on their own causing the TasKiller to kill it again... relaunch... kill... relaunch... kill keep your CPU cycles at 100% and draining your battery quicker than it should be.

That being said, I still use a TasKiller on autokill with the screen off simply because I like to (and paid for the app, so dangit, I'm gonna use it! :P). Once you have identified the apps that relaunch upon kill and set TasKiller to ignore them, the battery concern isn't an issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
they changed the way android 2.2+ handles apps in the background so when the task killer kills an app it does more harm than good, mainly kill the hell out of your battery because android wants to start it back up again

Dont know the details but thats the jist of it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
System panel is a must have. It's not used to kill all apps, just to monitor your phone and kill an out of control app.

To answer the question, the way android shares RAM between processes is very difficult to actually identify free RAM and which apps are using what. So some apps make the choice to display the free RAM differently, no way around it as there is no one "right answer" on each memory usage. I always go by system panel myself.
