[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
Listening to the Windows Weekly podcast is painful & funny at the same time. You can hear & see Paul Thurrott's frustration & his enthusiasm for WP7 slipping away week after week. At the beginning he was gushing over WP7 but now not so much.

One day I fully expect him to announce this is his last podcast, given all the disappointment he's had with WP7, Zune & Windows Home Server.

I have a Linksys E3000 router at home with WPA/WPA2 security. It is set to dual broadcast a G and a N frequencies. My phone detects the network, connects just fine, is able to sync friendstream but is unable to access internet... wtf? A friend of mine with a HTC Magic has the exact same issue on this router. Any ideas? (Yes, I've tried resetting, factory resetting, disconnecting/connecting, changing the rom, flashing another radio).

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hojuruku:
Hello,

I have a Korean tab SHW-M180L.

I tried clockwork mod and I chose a US CDMA Verizion clockwork tool.

I loost the recovery mode, as it wasn't compatible.

Before that I tried recovery2e.zip from the forums. It wasn't an wise idea to mess with recovery mode.

I took me a bit of surfing how to force the device in download mode by pressing buttons (the home key) and I got the thing back.

Tegrak had an odin version of the latest firmware for the tab on his page pspmaster.tistory.com and after reflashing it I was back on my merry way.

I'm using Tegrak's kernel which now supports unsigned update.zips as of the latest version.

What is the big deal with clockworkmod? Most of the patches for it are for US based roms anyway, so there isn't much demand for it in Korea? Maybe someone could update me if there is any point ot try again.

I may be a android newbie, but one thing for sure I'm not al Linux newbie. I am thinking of making a ONENAND supporing MTD kernel with AXFS/EXT2 execute in place and making a better swap driver using ramzswap and an app to manage it for the market.

Your thoughts please!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakelights:
Have you succesfully flash your device? I have same model as yours. If it does what rom are you using? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hojuruku:
That's my model below. I'm a fan of tegraks kernel except I'm yet to find where he is dumping his source. I don't see much point for clockwork mod in Korea.

SHW-M180L

I need nam programming for SHW-M180L and DIAG Port mode. Pls Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hojuruku:
Yep using odin. I'll try out heimdall too in the near future. tegrak's kernel can be also installed by a sgs kernel flasher after you rooted the phone with superoneclick. I can email you the zimage if you PM me. The download page is pspmaster.tistory.com for tegrak and I'm sure you can find the leaked version of odin for your tab. Remember to press volume down when booting to put it into download mode before running odin.

As for the other debug question hit me in a month. Just got a job in a mobile game development company :)

I'd rather hack stock roms in korea than customize it using someone elses image.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
am I the only one who cant get WMA files to run???? half of my music is WMA and I cant get it to play in android at all.....

any suggestions on a fix??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
http://www.jodix.com/ worked for me.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
yea I was hoping I wouldnt have to convert them all back to mp3.... I ripped them into wma to save on space on my old phone to begine with... even made sure there was no DRM protection on the files so that they would play on most anything... but looking around it seems there isnt any real support for WMA files on android.... some phone will play them(looks like most of them have NEON support in the chips though) but most android phones dont do WMA :(

thanks for the link that looks like some decent freeware apps to convert files though!!!!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
PowerAMP. Should be stock player. Awesome. Paid though. No need to covert it plays all files.

Kyo M6000 Rooted with NoAds or Bloatware.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
Yea that looks like me only option.. poweramp looks realy nice! Thanks for the suggestion
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
it is super nice. EQ, with preamp, Cover Art, all kinds of stuff. Plus the major bonus of not having to hastle with converting all your WMA into MP3 and so on. Just put the music on your SD and go. WAY nicer then the stock music app
[Kyocera Zio M6000] taf8968:
only some wma files play on my defy

I just paid for upgrade to power amp and still some wma files do not play on my defy. using 2.2.1 and have always been able to play only some of my wma files, even with stock music player. I even plugged the phone into a pc that does not have these music files on it, and was able to navigate to them on the sd card and play fine from the pc, so can't be corrupt filers right? have tried many diff't android market players but same results on all. any ideas? thanks.

Its a rights issue i would imagine. Never had a problem. Try writing the application developer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Hey guys,

I've been wondering around for a while, and I've pretty much read every single FAQ and major ROM development threads...

But I was wondering if anybody found a "best" ROM for battery!

I've tried a few, and found that Cognition seems to drain the battery pretty quickly... Phoenix 4.5 seemed to last quite a while, but the new 5.2 seems to drain it quite quick now again!

I don't really care if my phone's slow in some parts, but I'd really like it if I could extend the battery even by a little bit... I work 8 hours a day, and my phone has no battery after I finish work (which seems extremely absurd).

I've also tried to do the battery hints and tips in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806211 with no luck...

If anybody can give me a yell on the ROM they found which lasts the longest... It would be pretty awesome!

TIA!

P.S. Also, if somebody can just give me a quick run down on the difference between ROMs/Kernels/Modems? I'm just curious, and would like to know more!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmforlife92:
Im using ParagonRC6.0 And Im getting great battery life and i use my phone alot. I get a day and half off a full charge with a lot of use. If i use it moderate then i can get 2 full days. Just let your battery recalibrate for a couple of days to improve battery life
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typehydro:
Ive been on Cog4 (didnt change anything) and under normal use (maybe 1-2 phone calls a day, no more than 5 mins long, 15-30 txts, and iMobster stuff) i get around 24-36 hours. Overnite while sleeping (7-8 hours) i lose about 5-10%.

While on Serendipity 5.7 (with suckerpunch kernel and jk4 modem) i get 20-30hours. And overnite i lose 10-15%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivified:
Precision 3.5 gave me the best battery life I have ever had. I was able to go over 25 hours on a single charge with heavy use nearly all day.

Edit: I haven't used Torch yet for a full day, but I will be testing the single charge on this ROM as well and posting my results once my Captivate get's to a about %5 battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coak5:
The ROMs that have best battery life are precision 3.5 or Merx rom (which is based off Precision)...the slim ROMs usually run very low memory which is a lot less stressful on your battery...Right now I'm running Supernova 2.3 and I can go 12-15 hours before my battery is completely dead and I'm a moderate to heavy user (facebook, XDA, youtube, etc.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Thanks a lot guys, I'll try Paragon first... And also Precision! So many ROMs to try :3

Does Kernels/Modems do anything for battery life? I have no idea how these work though... If someone can explain it, that'd be rad!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:
If anything, I believe that the kernel and modem are the most important aspect of battery life. I wouldn't know too much about it, so maybe someone else can elaborate.

What is it about people and weather? I work on a reception desk so during inclement weather i have to endure a thousand comments a day about how 'nasty' it is.

I LIKE the rain. I LIKE gale force winds. I LIKE thunder storms and great displays of lightning. I LIKE being out in the snow when we get blizzards.

Do people think they'll disolve if they get a little wet? Will they get blown around like an empty crisp packet if the wind picks up a little?

Now i'm moaning which makes me no better than the people i hate for moaning! :mad:

Here's the Malaysian take on weather. If the sky is clear, the weather is good. If it's raining, the weather is good.

Here are exceptions if it's raining:

1. You are outdoors (get wet)

2. You're having an outdoor event (everybody get wet)

3. You are hanging your clothes out to dry (yes, we do that instead of having an expensive dryer)

4. You are in a flooded area (not that it matters anyway)

5. You are drowning (not that it matters anyway)

Here are the exceptions if it's sunny:

1. You are outdoors (too hot!)

2. You are having an outdoor event (everybody too hot!)

3. You are being hung out to dry (yes, they do that to you sometimes. Malaysian Standard Time is actually TOM+2, TOM being Time Of Meeting)

4. You are in a flooded area (time to go home to clean up the mess)

5. You are downing (now it's hot and you are drowning)

Unfortunatly I also have to deal with the general public on a day to day basis.

The one I hate most is;

"Have you seen the weather today?"

To which I have two replys that I would love to throw at them.....

"No, due to the fact that I travel to work through a system of instant matter transportation there is no need for me to set foot outside, therefore I have not seen todays weather. Kindly enlighten me as to the current temperature and amount of precipitation. Also feel free to offer your expert opinion on how long you think it will last and how it is affected by global warming..."

Or...

"Unless you think that I live in my place of work, then you should be aware that I have been forced to leave my house this morning and travel here to listen to you spout this crap.... Therefore, yes I am aware of the current weather conditions and have no interest in discussing them. Please take your ill informed opinions and meteriological analysis and shove them up your ass."

It has been qute an experience owning the device and trying all these different WinMo, Android SD and Nand, Windows Phone 7, but i guess i got tired of all those, what is working and not working rom, and now i deceided to get a Xperia X10...

Yep, i got rid of my 9 months old HD2 for a brand new X10, which has everything right out of the box.

I hope you enjoy the Experience (get it lol)

imho, (and i provide phone tech support for virgin), you are correct to say its all the out of the box, but the build quality, mtbf*, useability, screen quality, reception and software are much below the Leo.

Don't forget that SE don't as a rule supply updates for their phones, and don't expect to update the rom on the X10 this centuary.

You would have made a better choice to go for a Wildfire S :)

PS. if any of you guys try to tell me that our hd2's are faster than android phones, root the android phone, tweak it, then flash a custom rom / kernel, then you'll see that android phone flying beyond what our hd2's can do.

X10 has locked bootloader - there are few custom ROMs and SE said they won't update the official Android in Xperia.

You wanted Android from the box - why not Galaxy S?
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Because the galaxy s is known for it's hardware problems. However I find the problems insignificant in my case and opinion.

When i had a Xperia X10 i waited 4 months for an update. And not to 2.2 or 2.3 but

from 1.6 to 2.1.(The first and last update for the Xperia X10 family.)

When i got the update guess what, still no multitouch, no adobe flash player,same laggy Timescape and Mediascape.And did not mention the BIG quadrant score: somewhere around 460-500, with the update.

So i did own a Xperia X10i for 4 months and i can say from experience that the HD2 android it is far better than the Xperia X10i.

This is only my opinion. I was happy to change the X10 for a HD2.

You did the opposite.Hope you will be happy with it. :)
[7 Mozart General] ChilliHTC:
Hi :)

The only reason why I want to buy an Andriod HTC is because Andriod boasts thousands of apps on the market (I don't want an IPhone).

I'd like to consider other phones such as WP7 and all the rest, but I'm reluctant to do so as I believe the future of apps lies within the Andriod Market.

Is there a way I can easily download Andriod apps off a non andriod phone?

I'm going to assume I'll have to download some sort of an emulator, will it really be worth all the hassle?

I think I should just stick with Andriod phones, but if anyone can point out to me otherwise I'd appreciate it as I'd have a larger selection of phones to choose from.

Thankyou :)

anyone?
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
I don't really know any other solutions. The bigest problem is that if you do this anybody can write a simple app with the same package name and your program will think that he's got the key app. You may have to look at the description of packages, as I remember apps with the same signature can share data (but I'm not sure)

Hey guys

I'm preparing my N1 for 2.3.3 and since I had it repaired I'm now stuck with some weird Vodafone(?)-FW.

2.2.1

2.6.32.9-g6624e39htc-kernel [ät] and18-2

5.12.00.08

HBOOT 35.0017

Anyways, I tried to flash it back to stock 2.2.1 but when I apply the PASSIMG.zip it says "Main version is older. Update failed!"

Is there a workaround?

I read something about downgrading HBOOT to a lower version?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If FRG33 isn't flashing by PASSIMG method - then you can't use it. If you exercise your abilities to search the forum, you'll find a thread where people were trying to circumvent that - updating from Eclair to Froyo (just like now) - and those attempts failed.

If you have SLCD phone - and if recently repaired, you definitely have it - downgrading HBOOT will leave you with a nice brick.

Root your phone, install custom recovery, flash whatever you want from there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boert:
