[Windows Phone 7 General] zizo-88:
Hi all... Well im new here and im glad to find tech fanatics like myself :-P.. I joined in to find ways to make my phone better but i found myself spending most of my time here on wp7 forums.. Im interested in buying one but i have some concerns and i hope someone helps me here...

I need the arabic language so is there any word about an official rom yet? And if yes when will that be?

Im in a place where ppl forgot sms and started using whatsapp instead.. I looked it up and to my surprise i found that microsoft didnt provide APIs that enables apps to access the phone address, which is the core feature of whatsapp... Does anyone know when will it be possible to have whatsapo on a wp7 phone?

And thnx in advance :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
not sure about when you'll get arabic support. the phone can already support it in the fact that your contacts can have the arabic characters in them, and you can receive messages in them, but just can't type in them.

as for extending the APIs to support more features, I believe that PIM and Socket support were two of the most popular requested features and we will probably hear more about it at MIX 2011 conference where hopefully MS reveals additional APIs to support this sort of thing, which would hopefully solve your "whatsapp" issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Believe me: I was just like this! I came here to see tips to my android, and caught myself look more and more in WP7 forums. And Brazil, Portuguese, is not supported too.

About the Arabic keyboard, you might look this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917886

If you Chevron Unlock your phone you can install your own language. That should do it. The only problem is.. Will it work after update? So, or you will be stuck before the Copy n Paste update, or they will find a solution and you will have the best without losing your configs. Anyway, I have an Android, an iPhone 4 and WP7. For sure WP7 have become my favorite one.

I dont miss copy n paste. And I love the Metro UI and all notification system (though it can be better, using the led).

About WhatsApp.. I think they are not that cool with this atitude. Yes, Microsoft API doesn't support their way to work. Okay, so, why not do the app another way? You could input the number!

So yes, there is another way, even if it is worse. But you have the option, at least. They just don't want it. Or maybe they are working in it.

Seriously, you wont regret trading your Android for WP7. Trust me (;
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaggeto:
Does anyone have details on the Wireless adapter in the Mytouch 4g?

I specifically am trying to find out exactly what speed the phone is capable of connecting at with wireless N and if it can handle the 40mhz wireless channel width. (Rather than the standard 20hz channel width)

Thanks!
[Focus General] hermendo:
I've had my focus for about a month and I love it, the only thing that kinda bugs me is that when i charge it the screen lags. Is it just my focus or all that do that?
[Focus General] dave.b:
usb charging cable

yep. has everything to do with the USB cable you are using.

I have a FOCUS WP7 phone from AT&T. I was having the same issue and swapped the A/C charger brick and used the same cable...no change. Swapped the USB cable and used the same A/C charging brick, and what do you know...the lagging went away when charging.

i'm not an expert on cables, but i can tell you the USB cable that came with my A/C charging brick works fine. a cable that they gave me at the store - they said it was a "data cable" - causes the issues you explained. perhaps there are some cable differences??? but I have about 5 USB cables (also have a LG WP7 phone) and some work fine, but a couple exhibit the lagging issue you describe, when charging.

hope this helps.
[Focus General] hermendo:
Thanks that helps alot

Yes it tells me it cant cus its writeable protected or something like that and ut lets me see my files but wont let me drag anythinh off
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
you may have to format the card then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
Pull the card out of the phone and put it in your computer. Back everything up on it, format, and put everything back on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesziicuh:

Ive been vusing the card that came with the phone this kinda happened outta no where v
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Well ANY card is susceptible to failure. If you tried formatting it and it wont work, its likely a bad card. Personally i would try putting it in a card reader and try formatting it from a compute.r

i'm a bit confused by your post... are you using the Honeycomb Music player or "Music3" as in Cubed (not stock)?

i'm gonna guess that this sync feature isn't something that works with an Eris (yet). i haven't seen anything here about the Honeycomb Music app being compatible with Eris or our build of CM7, but this would be a welcome addition. i have seen a few links to the apks and tutorials for Evo's and a few others, but i don't want to post them here and mislead anyone with incomplete info.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fazelove:
First time rooter here and was wondering if there is a simple way to go by doing this. I know there is visionary and gfree method. But my issue is that if I need to unroot (say I need to exchange it out for another one if something goes wrong) which one is the best to go by or is there an even more simpler way? Or do I need to even unroot? Like in other words, will they not care if it is rooted or not? I also have the monthly $5 warranty if that helps.

Thanx

P.s. How likely are the chances of me bricking the phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
This method (Click Here ) is the simplest with the LEAST chance of bricking your phone. (make sure to follow the link at the bottom of the page).

Now the good thing is if you use that method and do not flash the engineering screen "unrooting" the phone can be done the very same way. You will need the "unroot.sh" file script (Which can be downloaded from here) to do that but is very possible.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo221:
gfree method is reverse-able I think. you need to back up the file(s) made during gfree process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
It is reversible. but the root.sh method is much easier for one worried about bricking a device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis-:
that all depends on what you plan on doing with your rooted phone. if you wanna flash roms and all that fun stuff a temp root will not turn s=off so it wont work. the gfree method is the only root method i could get to work on mine and i tried all of them.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
If you have a problem with the root.sh script method of rooting your phone SOMETHING (more times than not, it's the user) is seriously jacked.

The root.sh will turn s=off easily and painlessly. it will allow you do do what ever you want to do in a rooted state minus flashing splash screen. Which you need an Engineering HBoot for that. Even the ./gfree method will not flash that it has to manually be done.

I had my s=off prior to leaving the T-Mobile store the day i bought my MyTouchHD using the root.sh method.

i would be willing to unroot my phone back to a stock format and reroot & flash CM7 with that method if you would like me to, and let you see via youtube.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fazelove:
Like I said, im kinda new at this and a vid would be really helpful to the best root for me. Also I wanted to root my phone so I can get gingerbread on it (phone ruins alot smoother from what I hear) and is it a difficult process to unroot from a permroot through visionary plus.

youtube(dot)com/watch?v=hFOi6fYbnu0

(cant post outside links cuz I'm new here) :\

tell me if this is legit please (for the root and unroot) and that if it is worth doing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
if you follow the method i posted above from TheUnlockr you will not have any problems. Like i said that way is pretty much impossible to brick the phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SViS:
Have you flashed with Clockworkmod?

If so, boot into recovery mode first do a backup and then try to do a full wipe.

Or put CyanogenMod on it, I like that one much more then the MIUI.

Good Luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3dstar:
There is a "privacy"/"DND mode" toggle somewhere in MIUI that does exactly what you are describing. Sorry I can't be more precise, but I don't have MIUI at the moment - I just remember fiddling around with that setting a while ago, and it worked like that.

[General Questions and Answers] PatrickHuey:
ive got an ipod touch, but i use my g2 for everthing BUT music. from time to time i use apps like Gtunes to use ringtones and such. but i just had an idea to download the songs through Gtunes, save it to my SDcard and then move those files to my computer and hopefully to my itunes. but i know that itunes doesnt accept mpeg files. how can i get around this? any ideas? what would be the easiest way?
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
Just root your thing already. I'm not confirming anything or nothing in your very well put escape route...but worry about that later. Yes there's always going to be a way to unroot. Especially when we have the files nao.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Root via the wiki page to downgrade then use the rage/gfree method to temp then permroot.

You CAN (and should) backup your stock ROM, but there is no need to revert to it before unrooting. The method of unrooting restores a completely bone stock ROM anyways. The backup is just useful to keep around if you ever make a misstep installing a new ROM and need to revert back.

To unroot, follow the wiki to unroot lol.

As long as you keep a program like Titanium Backup up to date, you'll always have your apps and system data backed up too. This much extreme caution is not necessary as much as it pains me to put it that way. Just backup your apps and be smart when u install a new ROM and you'll be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] srv1973:
OK, then how (and at which stage) do I back up my stock ROM? Before or after downgrading and rooting?

But the wiki only says:

Well, guess what: I don't have a T-Mobile G2. I have an unbranded Desire Z. So which stock rom do I use in case I have to restore, and where do I get it from?

Sorry for being paranoid, but given the trouble my wife would give me in case I somehow ruined my phone (yes, I'll get into trouble even if it's my phone and not hers :p), a bit of advance planning is worth it to me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelhon:
I doubt it since my wife dropped mine in the snow and left it there for about an hour. I found it dumped it in the rice jar and it was all good. Make sure you don't turn it on, and put it in a bowl of rice for about a day. Should be good, depending on the severity of water damage.

salt water is dangerous, but normal water less so.

my phone was in a fabric bag that was accidentally dipped into the ocean by my gf (which was only noticed hours later T_T, so it was left in a wet bag...). the bottom 3 buttons stopped working, but amazingly started working again after a couple of days (middle button needs a harder press though, probably because i stupidly and accidentally removed part of the contact point when trying to clean the salt off with a cotton swab).

So, I think the device is pretty tough!
[Xoom General] destroyerbmx:
I know about the differences in benchmarks and how they arent set up for dual core, but I just ran smartbench 2011 and my gaming score is off by 1000 points on a stock xoom, I am rooted and running stock kernel. I am not sure why, maybe something is wrong with it.
[Xoom General] Usmc7356:
My quadrant scores are lower than my dx but my linpack score is 64mflops! Don't know why our quadrant scores are so low but I'm having the same problem.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Off from what? A phone? Synthetic benchmarks say almost nothing about real world performance, and they will always be different with devices at different resolutions.

A 1280x800 tablet will always score unusually low on a graphics benchmark that scales to resolution compared to a phone.
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
Quadrant also places a lot of weight on the filesystem, and my Xoom always hangs quite a while during database writes.

Also I think that getting ~6 FPS on their first 2D animation test can't help.

The Xoom is really zippy, take the benchmarks with many, many grains of salt.
[Xoom General] destroyerbmx:
I was just talking about smart bench, everything else is working fine, but the smartbench 2011 shows a galaxy s as being more powerful than my xoom, and the half the speed of a stock xoom. I am just wondering if other people were showing that they are below what a stock xoom should be too.
[Xoom General] aohus:
you have to make sure that these benchmarks are compatible with dual core processors. otherwise the results are moot.
[Xoom General] destroyerbmx:
I know that, but it is shows below the average xoom, thats the problem I am seeing, average xoom gets like 2k I get 1k
[Xoom General] joepfalzgraf:
I was having the same issue, I believe it is because of spare parts for gaming full screen. I factory restored my xoom and scored higher than average. The benchmark ran on a much smaller screen when I ran it on a fresh xoom.
[Xoom General] destroyerbmx:
Confirmed that is it, thanks for this I guess I was overlooking it and thinking my xoom wasnt up to par.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Gluove:
Anyone working on this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] king_roach:
Hi, it seems nobody's noticed this thread or that nobody knows what the issue is. Let me explain:

when you choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option in ROM Manager, you are asked for your phone model.

The options given are:

- Huawei Pulse Mini

- Dell Streak

- Huawei Pulse

- Commtiva Z71 (Boston, blaze, and more)

- Geeksphone ONE

- Spice MI700, Commtiva Link N700 and more)

- Huawei Ascend

As you can see, on a Samsung Galaxy Ace, there is no Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) option.

I saw a video installing it on Galaxy S, and it showed it on the list, whereas on Ace it doesn't have that model.

What should we DOOOOOOO!???!?!??!!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] king_roach:
Hi all. I have the same problem but I don't get the solution.

It is supported but it only shows if you are already on a cooked rom?

Can I even install CM7 on Galaxy Ace without ClockworkMod? At my own risk without Nand Backups? Is that the only drawback?

If that's it, I can do that because I'm on stock FroYo, so worst case scenario: my phone is reset. Right?

Right?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
1) Yes .

2) You need Clockworkmod to install CM7
