[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LippiVan:
Everything is working perfect, I'm using CifsManager (runnig Stock 318 with Performance Fix).

I connect my SMB shares to watch my movie collecten. As settings, i simply used my fileservers ip adress and the folder i want mounted on my streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bledula:
Both my desktop and laptop are running Win7 and I encounter no problems browsing their files using Es file manager for example (astro doesnt work for some reason). Someone in Cifs manager thread suggested I check my file permissions but failed to specify which ones.

Cifs manager did not give any error when I tried to mount anything, while mount manager simply states that it failed to mount.

My Streak runnning Steve's 1.5.1 only has a black taskbar theme applied to it so if anyone has had any success mounting shares on it please let me know.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsteria:
Great, that you have cifs working. I've got a O2 streak with 319 stock rom. Can you give more detail about the cifs is it built into the 318 stock rom or did you have to load the files separately (can you share the files please)?

Thanks

Also, as far as developing is concerned, is linux just linux or will one distro be better than the other?

Ubuntu is for the easy Linux user, but also good for laptops. I say go the osx86 route, I've got Snow Leopard running Vanilla on my laptop. :D
[Off-topic] bertscookie:
yeah I've been using ubuntu for a while I was thinking about switching it up to debian, but theres no real reason. osx86 I tried that along time ago and it didnt install so i gave up, i didnt really want it anyhow, it's not very friendly for me i suppose i like having full control over it i guess. maybe I'll try it. lol i have an xp laptop, win7 laptop, ubuntu desktop, and xp desktop. the extra one i moved from xp to 7 but im going to move it to linux.
[Off-topic] vbetts:
Osx86 has grown fast, to the point where it's just a couple of steps to install.

1.Get a boot CD

2.Grab a retail Snow Leopard distro(Doesn't have to be store bought if you get my drift...)

3.Install!

4.DSDT auto patcher

You're done!

Nawcom boot CD that auto detects your hardware and if you are capable of using vanilla or not(Basically Core, Core 2, i3, i5, i7 cpus can use vanilla). Doesn't patch your dsdt automatically though.

DSDT auto patcher! You can generate your DSDT if it's available, or just create a generic one!

For the most "painless" version def get Ubuntu. But it is rather bloated - though easily remedied.

I like Debian a lot too - but it's not as simple as Ubuntu's stick the disc in and forget it. Also I love the updater - I have a "glorified phone charger" netbook that I keep updated and it runs pretty snappy considering the hardware is dog slow.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tazzimus:
Hi guys,

Not really a noob as I have been flashing my friend and mine's HD2 for quite a while.

I've flashed Win 7 onto mine and everything is working perfectly except the pc and Zune will not recognise it. Also says device driver install failed. I had a quick search but I'm either blind and can't see it or it's not up.

Anyone able to help?

I've installed the Chevron cert but cannot get any further because of this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sullitf:
I was fighting with that exact problem yesterday, took me forever to realize my sync problem was a driver install error. In Windows, go to the device manager while your phone is plugged in. It should have you phone listed with a yellow triangle on the icon due to the error. Right click that icon and you can tell it to resolve the error, or you can go into the properties and force it to install the driver again. Give it a min to get the driver installed and tested, then you should be in business!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lamario:
Did you change the registry key?

I'm having the same problem, but my computer wont recognize the phone at all. The very first time I plugged it in, it did. But now with it plugged in nothing changes in device manager. The computer doesnt even make a sound when it is plugged in and unplugged. I have installed the wp7 tools and everything. It refuses to connect. Can someone help me please?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tazzimus:
This is really annoying now. Brought it home and the laptop picked it up fine but I don't have enough space to install the developer tools.

Have the Intel AMT driver updated here and it still fails to install the driver properly. Wrecking my head now I can't put anything on it until I get this fixed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tazzimus:
FINALLY got it fixed. Was all set to give up and uninstall developer tools when I spotted a program called libusb32 installed. I then twigged an error in the driver details about an unsigned usb cert. Said I'd uninstall it just to see and voila. Phone was picked up straight away.

Bit more messing about trying to get it unlocked so I could change the device name but all is working now so I can finally start loading apps.

I know it's probably only me that had that little program but worth mentioning just in case someone else has a similar issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lenny74:
At last a solution that really works, thank you. I have been stuck for 48 hours trying to get the phone synced with Zune but it wasnt happening. For all of those that are stuck this is the solution. The Device Driver is the key.

Make sure you re-set the phone and re-start it and remember to re-install the certificate before attempting to update the drivers. Use the Device manager and the update button and all should be fine.

Zune will fire up automatically onec it has updated correctly and you can finish the process............mine went smoothly after overcoming this step.

Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mrj630:

A simple reinstall of the phone driver and the zune sw did it for me, in that order.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bizmark03:
I am still not sure about the legality of the WP7 social hack which involves calling MS and asking for the activation. I'm sure this is not totally legal, either its legal gray area or its plain and simple illegal. Pocketnow.com is also advising against it (http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/social-hack-enables-wp7-live-services-on-htc-hd2-for-now)

If it is illegal why is XDA letting members discuss it openly or if it is legal why isn't XDA clarifying the situation.

Also there is nothing directly announced by DFT on XDA. For other achievements, Cotulla always tweeted about them but I did not come across any word from Cotulla regarding the release of WP7.

I would greatly appreciate some communication from XDA senior members. I respect Cotulla for his work and any communication from him holds lot of weight.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hellokittyr:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lms1407:
No one is forcing you to do it!

I, for one didn't and i won't, because i think MS should make it more open first.

I like beeing able to customise, change, flash and reflash whatever i want on my phone!

And for sure if MS wasn't so up in its own ars.. they would have much more support from users and of corse more buyiers for their market...

Aaah, forgot to mention - this is not the place for such discussions....

come on guy get a damn life! XDA whole existence is built of customisation and giving that little bit xtra denied to us by manufacturers! HDSPL is that legal? if it was why does it void your warranty? S_OFF is that legal? sometimes people make me laugh and this is one of those times!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] 0711:
i dont think that using wp7 is legal on hd2....so it doesnt matter if you activate live services or not, this is not the point in this story ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bizmark03:
As far as my knowledge goes jailbreaking is totally legal. You buy the phone its yours do whatever you please with it. Its voids the warranty because I dont think HTC is going to fix someones bricked phone because he didn't follow proper instructions or foolishly flashed the wrong radio. Thats reasonable.

Porting Android is fine because Android is free and you don't have to pay and get a license.

Customizing win6.5 can also be OK because you buy the license with the phone you're just making it look the way you want, probably a more advance version of changing your wallpaper.

But calling up MS and lying that you have a specific phone which you dont. Thats like torrenting Photoshop, calling Adobe for activation codes and expect they give you the code and take your word that you actually bought the program. Just in this case MS is giving most people codes without much verification.

Anyways this is just my personal opinion. I'm sure everyone has their own opinion. In my case I am just afraid, i dont want to get blacklisted by MS and have my hotmail banned.

totally respect your opinion dude and i have more than 1 hotmail accounts. if they block one can use another. at the end of the day MS could blacklist anyone for flashing a custom OS not approved by them using their files. they chose not too but that dont make it ok. I AM NOT AFRAID! i am sure if bothered MS will shut this down asap or choose to ignore! as long as the code is free then i see no bother at all! dont matter what phone you use the fact remains that you will be running a version of an OS by MS. that can't be bad to them!

[Xperia Arc General] totalundone:
Just thought I'd post another preview of the Arc.

The only thing new that I saw in this review when compared to the others is the display and some camera info. (I'll try to keep my SE opinions out of this).

Specifically...

The 'Bravia Engine' pretty much looks like it's just an advanced driver. You know how nVidia has their Digital Vibrance option in their drivers? It adjusts the contrast and color so that they appear to 'pop' better. The Bravia Engine looks like it does it on the fly, that's it. Other than that and the 16m colors, it has the same deficiencies as the current X10 LCD panel. Same viewing angles, etc. I thought that they would at least have put in an S-IPS LCD or something.

I also thought the camera was going to be better than the X10's camera but it doesn't look it (at least in this stage). It's still good. The backlit sensor seems to improve night shots but there's still the chance of getting a yellowish picture (nowhere near as bad as the iphone). If you compare the standard shots at GSMarena, the X10 photos look better (way to sharp vs not sharp enough?). Colors are a little better but sometimes too much. It seems the biggest improvement is that video will do 30 fps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonny-67:
Hi,

I have spent the last few days seraching and downloading and trying apps, but have not yet found one that does what I want.

I want an app that will allow me to lock the screen (by tapping on the app shortcut on home screen), the screen can then ONLY be unlocked using a password/passcode/slide or similar control (i.e. unlikely to be unlocked in your pocket) and where the screen will NOT switch off - therefore not requiring the use of the power button to turn it back on.

Preferably, the screen would dim after a pre-determined time to save on battery power, maybe even dimming to black (off, but without having to use power on to switch back on).

I have tried numerous apps including Screen Off, No Lock, Screen Off and Lock, Lock Screen Widget and most recently WidgetLocker.

None of these (as far as I can see), do what I want.

WidgetLocker appeared to come closest, but still the screen timeouts and switches off requiring the power button to turn it back on. Also, it defaults to 'Tool mode' which then necessitates another tap to action 'Lock mode'. Also, when in 'Lock mode', if the notification bar is dragged down, this then activates the screen and hard buttons.

Any one know of something that fits my fairly specific requirements.
