You registered just for that?

To the OP: Nokia makes excellent hardware with very good build quality (N8 for example), and has some outstanding services and other applications I think will benefit anybody with a wp7. So with wp7's great UI and their great Hardware, I am eagerly awaiting a release of an upper end phone from Nokia.

Now we just need faster OS updating and we could be in for a great ride. Here's to hoping.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
@markomarkogame,

Hi and welcome to the forums. There have been many threads created about Nokia and WP7, in which there have been discussions just like the one you're starting.

You may find that they are very useful and that it is somewhat unnecessary to start a new thread. We encourage users to search before posting.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
Nokia Windows Phone is 'absolutely stunning’

"Absolutely stunning." That’s how everyone that's been shown Nokia's new Windows Phone 7 smartphone describes the device. This is according to Nokia’s Conor Pierce, general manager for UK and Ireland, in a one to one interview with Pocket-lint.

"To the partners we have shown the device to, their words, not necessarily mine - although I agree - upon showing it to them. It's spontaneous and unprompted. They say ‘the first Nokia Windows Phone is absolutely stunning’ and that’s die hard gurus in this business, who have thick skin," boasts Pierce.

"For them to say that spontaneously without any sales pitch shows what we are bringing is pretty spectacular. And that’s only the beginning.”

The phone Pierce is talking about is, of course, the soon to be announced, and hopefully soon to be released, Nokia Windows Phone. Dubbed Sea Ray and already enjoying its fair share of leaks, it is the company’s first foray into the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 operating system and the phone that it hopes will help it turn around the fortunes of the once proud Finnish mobile phone maker.

"I’ve actually got one in my pocket, but I can't show you," he teases, leaving Pocket-lint unable to confirm the opinion of so many gurus.

Pierce, who also adds that he has "seen what’s coming," is very confident that the launch of Nokia Windows Phone 7 devices in the coming months is going to be the success that the company so drastically needs.

With the Nexus One it had a FM radio chip inside it, but it was disabled, they enabled it later.

This may also be the cause with Nexus S.

You're wrong, I can confirm hat Nexus S has FM Radio chip (BCM4329) which has both FM TX & RX on the chip.

Here is a build of CM6 with FM added to it. The only difference is the FM addon. It is the same as the last version of CM6 released.

Ok... I tried it... it's just OK. It uses Blutooth somehow and I don't really get how it works. It's a little ghetto, but it works. # outta 10? 6
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
It doesnt actually use bluetooth. Its just that the chipset that does the bluetooth is the same chipset that does the fm radio. So what its doing is enabling the chipset which means bluetooth gets turned on. But the bluetooth signal doesnt actually have anything to do with the fm radio. This is why you have to have a headset plugged in; the phone uses it as an fm antenna.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
In HTC sense it enables Bluetooth just doesn't tell you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] man666:
Yep, it works. Thanks for the fm radio!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krepta:
Hi all. I recently downloaded some emulators and noticed I could not press more than two buttons at a time. I tested my multi touch and it only registers two fingers! I know my screen does five as I tested the multi touch soon after rooting with one of King's kernels.

I've tried both clockwork and amon recoveries (2.2.2) with no change. I'm currently running myn warm 5 with netarchy 4.3.2. Does anybody have a fix for this or any ideas about what might be causing the issue?

*Edit* Hey guys after messing with kernels and recoveries for a bit, I think I found a solution. I flashed a newer Amon RA (2.3) and then re-flashed my kernel (netarchy more havs universal 4.3.2). This seems to have fixed the multi-touch problem. I encourage others who have lost 5 point multi-touch to try the same process.

[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
I still have my hero. My yearly upgrade was last October, so it's been a year and a half since my yearly upgrade was due.

My 2 year contract is up this coming October. I know I will lose my upgrade on 4/1 (I could have upgraded since last October).

Question for you guys:

Would you guys buy an Evo now and sell it so that you can get something for your yearly upgrade? That would extend my contract for 2 more years and I will still want a new phone in the near future...

OR: would you just wait and try to work out something with Sprint? Would they even budge?

Im thinking, around June (when these new phones are more than likely to be released), my yearly upgrade will only be 4 months away and I can pay $40.00 to get out of my contract early.

Do you guys think Spring would try and work with me?

What should I do?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] waffle_:
Sprint is a little flexible, but I don't think they would be on this matter. Sprint is a service that will trap you up in its contract.

I'd get the EVO.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Damn...

I hope Im not stuck because rumors are swirling about the Evo 3D being announced soon... : - \

[Hero CDMA General] srb7215:
I am in the same boat (probably a lot of Hero users who didn't jump ship to the Evo are as well). I would say stick it out. Even if Sprint doesn't let you upgrade until October, it will be worth the wait. Dual core processors are the future so you might as well wait it out. Heck you waited this long.

I'm waiting to see more about the Pre 3 or for Sprint to actually release a phone that can actually compete with what other carriers are dropping. End of March should bring some good news.
[Hero CDMA General] juggalosupastar:
you wont lose your upgrade. just talked to a rep about my upgrade due in june an he said if your already eligible you wont lose your upgrade,told me to call back the last week in march and he would bump my upgrade up to april so i dont lose out on it.
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
I would advise people to go by the letters sprint sent out and their web site which let you know exactly the opposite what that Rep told you. You should believe him after April 1 when you have an upgrade discount in print, but until then he's an employee trying to move along to the next customer

~run, run, as fast as you can, can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man~
[Hero CDMA General] bobbyhu$TLe:
Why would you lose your upgrade?
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Because come April 1st, sprint is doing away with yearly upgrades on individual plans below $89.99 or or $169.99 for shared plans:

Check out this post by DaWeav. It pretty much says it all:

[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
After my work discount I pay $70.00 including taxes. Your plan would be a waste for me since I hardly use any minutes with the any mobile any time deal.
[Hero CDMA General] mongolx:
Just spoke with sprint representative and “ as long as plan is included in sprint premier you will still get your upgrade in regardless what you pay with discounts” Any one else get different answer?
[Hero CDMA General] EL_G15:
Everything will be up to you -

Im very dissapointed but my decision still keep Sprint even thought i'm not happy with it.

I've been a Sprint customer for almost 9yrs. will be 10yrs on August 2012

I have a shared plan $129.99 + 2 lines Im still Silver.

But... Im elegible for upgrade since 11-1-10

I havent upgrade cause im waiting for the right phone. might be Evo3d or Nexus S - I dont know if i dont upgrade before April 1st i'll still keep my upgrade. if not. I Assume ill be 22 months by September. if thats the case i have my Hero running CM7 and can wait until then.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Im considering all options... Hoping they will let me upgrade, but im not holding my breath.

BTW.. I just upgraded to Cyanogen7... Took some work on my part, upgrading everything.

However, this thing works great. Those guys have outdone themselves. Ill be donating for sure. Check it out guys!
[Hero CDMA General] dreign:
yeah its gay that yearly upgrades are going 2 be gone but oh well
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Yeah, well I did a chat and was told that there is no way they will let you upgrade after 4/1 unless your contract is up or your plan qualifies for the new "Premier" status.

Im looking at the Tmobile LG Optimus 2x. Looks good and Tmobile has good coverage where I live.

It also depends on what new handsets Sprint releases in the near future. It better be good.

We shall see...
[Galaxy Tab General] Bobby Buggs:
I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bobby Buggs:
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mikroft:
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.

I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.

Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.

The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.

Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".

So it is just a risk you might want to take.

Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay :-)

Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.

AliExpress also has lot's of items:

[Samsung Mesmerize] dhess83:
Hello community, I will admit that I am a Mesmerize n00b but I've been using a N1 for a long time. One feature that I liked (maybe it's just an HTC thing) is that I could long press menu to show/hide the softkeyboard, and more importantly, I could long press the search button to get Google Voice Search.

I have searched around the forums for the last few hours for the keywords "Mesmerize" and "Long Press". I can't figure out any way to launch google voice command from a hardware key.

I don't particularly care if it is the SAME way, I'd just prefer not to have to go back to the home screen and THEN click on an app-- it's harder to do while driving.

I'm wondering if the device does not physically recognize long presses of that button.

I've got SU, EB16, :cool:, if any of that helps.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dhess83:
My brother, who works at USCC, says that he got one out of the box and that Long-press search works by default. Mine never did though, even before modding. Perhaps mine has a slight defect?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigmike88:
Ive noticed this, however it's a non issue for me. When you bring up quick search, I just press the mic if I want to voice command. Anyone know of an app that allows you to assign commands to the soft keys? I want to say the dev for 'clear default home' might have a solution. I could be wrong.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigmike88:
I know that you could do it on stock mez, but the modified roms or 2.2 don't seem to support it. Also I can't mute my ringer by using the volume keys, I have to press the power button. Which doesn't matter cause if I'm silencing the ringer I'm most likely not going to answer. All pros easily out weigh all the(like 2) insignificant cons I have experienced.....

[Samsung Mesmerize] dhess83:
There is a market app called Button Shortcut that has been suggested to me but it does not work. It's a non-root app. I tried a similar search and found a root app for hard buttons but it didn't support long presses.

The search continues, thanks for your input.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dhess83:
I thought I would conclude this thread with the following information:

I went all the way back to 2.1, Stock, and the long press indeed DOES work. It is only in the leaked EA11 and EB16 that it does not work for me. I thought I would mention this just in case somebody else notices the same problem and searches for this thread.

Thanks to those who contributed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dhess83:
Hate to pull this out of the grave, but I've got the latest EC10 PnP installed now and long pressing the search button still doesn't work for me. Also voice commands don't work, but that's probably a topic for another thread.

I don't know, it's maddening that I can't voice command this thing and it makes me want to return the phone.

Any suggestions? I can't seem to find anybody here complaining of the same thing... Thanks in advance.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] srv1973:
[sorry for posting this here. I did not realize there was a dedicated forum for the Desire Z, and it seems you cannot move posts from one forum to another here]

Hi all,

Been doing a lot of reading today on how to root my new Desire Z, and think I've figured out how to root+s-off it (involving that downgrade first). Haven't gotten around to actually run the procedure yet though. Part reason for that is that I'm a bit worried in case I ever have to return it for warranty purposes.

So I've done a lot of searching on how to restore the thing to factory default. I know I have to flash(?) a "stock RUU ROM" for that, but I've not been able to find such a ROM for the Desire Z yet.

Could anybody please comment on where to find such a rom and what procedure to run to restore it to factory default?

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] srv1973:
Hmmm, just thinking out loud here: wouldnt it be possible to use the psneuter method to get temproot, somehow make a backup of the stock rom and then later restore it (possibly use psneuter again to clean up afterwards)? If so what would that procedure look like?

[Focus General] lyriquidperfection:
All members please use this as reference if you are thinking of buying a Samsung Focus.

Make sure you:

---------------

Avoid ALL phones that have a DEMO ROM on them as they may be stolen.

Only buy from safe sources, ie. reputable online business or an ebay shop power seller.

If you have purchased a phone with a DEMO ROM then return it immediately.

Note that there are no Firmwares available at present for the Samsung Focus so DEMO Mode cannot be removed. Please DONT ASK!

How do I know if my phone has a DEMO ROM?

--------------------------------------------

The AT&T Device Alive application is the Demo app but it can be deleted.

The phone will still go into Demo Mode anyway after approx. 5 minutes.

Another way to tell for certain is to format the phone and see if the program comes back. The pics are from a freshly formatted focus that has Demo Mode. This is a fool proof way to find out.

To Format your device, make sure it is turned off then hold down the following buttons simaultaneously:

Vol Down, Camera and Power.

Hold all 3 buttons until the Format screen appears. Choose Format and then Yes. The device will now proceed with formatting. Once finished, your device will reboot and you will be able to see if it matches any of the pictures posted below.

What can I do if I discover I have a phone with a DEMO ROM?

-----------------------------------------------------------

If you purchased the phone in good faith from somewhere like eBay, if you are covered then you can just use the Buyer Protection in order to return the item and obtain a refund. Make sure you report it to eBay also as possible stolen goods.
