[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
I'm still not quite sure what carriers have to do with updating the phone. The update comes through Zune. C&P can't screw up a network, neither can the marketplace not crashing all the time.

In other words, this update fiasco is purely MS's fault.

Be it that they didn't make a better deal with carriers, they underestimated logistics, they haven't been forthright with customers, it is the fault of MS.

On the other hand. If you bought the phone because some said someone at MS said an update was coming out soon that would add C&P, I can see how you'd be pissed off, but you'd still be silly for buying a phone based on a rumor as opposed to its merits, which are plentiful.

My problem with this whole thing is:

1/. If MS was gonna stay mum and not update us on the delays, they should've STFU all the way until they announced a concrete date for the update.

2/. If MS was gonna talk about updates, they should've kept us posted all the way instead of tidbits here and there.

The way their going about it making it so some can't even recommend WP7 because of this update fiasco. I mean, since when couldn't MS send out bug fixes? I get one almost every week for my PC and that OS is way more complicated than a phone OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aclegg2011:
That's so true. They shouldn't make promises they can't keep. And if they say something and it dont go right atleast keep us in the loop. I also agree its hard to reccomend a phone where the support from Microsoft seems to be very spotty. So my question is, is it still too early to tell the future of wp7? I guess now I can understand why some people are asking about trying to dual boot on our phones. So is it the carriers fault, Microsoft fault, or the OEMs hardware fault we're not getting updates? And since we have to update through Zune, what do the carriers have anything to do with the updates?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hassia:
I think what is forgotten here is that XDA is a geek forum. Most people do not have a clue about copy and paste. They want to hear music surf the web and take pictures. We easily forget that we are not normal consumers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Normal customers want their push notifications to work properly, that should have been fixed within a month and Microsoft haven't even talked about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Hear, hear! Allowing a maximum of 15 apps with notifications was a huge oversight on their part, and afaik there are still no plans to fix this.

As for the marketplace bugs, from what I can tell not even all of those are fixed in the No[Can]Do upgrade. Probably because this particular update has been sitting on the MS servers since January waiting for an actual release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
The messed up part is that this is an advantage.

While they were ironing out whatever back-alley deals they had to iron out with the carriers, they could've been taking notes on what actual people in the know on forums like these had to ***** about.

They could've then slipped a few of the fixes, swapped a few 1s with 0s in the code, tweaked it around just a bit to make the OS even better.

Instead, we're going to get the update verbatim, the geek world is going to laugh and MS is gonna wonder where it all went wrong for the umpteenth time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ErikWithNoC:
Probably just a reiteration of what others have said, but nonetheless my opinion. Microsoft first said that the NoDo update would be coming early next year so most people assumed January, than they said late February (I think they did), then it was early March, and now its late March. This update merely adds copy + paste (along with a few bugfixes, one of which ISN'T for the camera) and that is a very basic feature! Apple just released iOS 4.3 (which updated the Safari javascript engine and some other stuff) AHEAD of schedule by 2 days and Microsoft keeps pushing back a minor update by weeks.

I'm pissed because I want WP7 to succeed. I used the device and I loved the device, but it's not nearly as good as its competitors as a whole. If Microsoft doesn't figure out what their doing WP7 will fail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
The general rule is you NEVER buy a phone based on what is "coming". You always buy based on what is in the phone when you bought it. I went through the same crap with blackberry, promising an os update to the storm 2 series. When OS6 came out they were like nope, not supporting that handset. Go buy a the touch.

I'm very satisfied with the Samsung Focus I have now, any future updates is just icing on the cake. You'll be sorely disappointed if you buy things based on promises
[Windows Phone 7 General] hassia:
Sorry I will have to reiterate my post 'normal consumers' want to play music,surf the web play youtube and games most will not use copy and paste that is just a fact. I work in a theater with a varied range of people most do not even know they have copy and paste capabilities.
[Touch HD General] millhauz:
Hello

I have a problem with my Touch HD

if I'll charge it overnight ( no matter if its normal charger o by usb from pc )

and i turn on the phone , battery is empty before i arrive to work ( 1 hour travel )

So i thought its the old battery ( almost 2 yrs ) so i bought a new one.

And still the same problem. And the phone is also very hot ( hotter than usual )

I tried stock 6.1 rom , stock 6.5 rom, plenty of custom roms ( energy ones, heavy ones, lite ones, clean ones ) still the same.

another thing. I charge the phone, turn it on - battery has 97% , i turn off the phone, take out the battery and then put it back. then i turn the phone again and battery has between 50-60% ( both old and new one )

i dunno what to do. Any advice will be appreciated

Sorry for my bad english
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
given the fact, that you already ruled out the battery itself as a source of your problems and different roms don't seem to do the trick either, there are just few options to look after:

either try another radio rom (if you haven't yet)

or you might actually face a hardware issue in the base device, a fault in the usb connector, a faulty mainboard or bad contacts to the battery come to mind. in that case, there is hardly anything you can do but replace the entire device since spare parts are more expensive than the entire phone's worth.

oh, one more thing, did you perform a proper hard reset after each flash (or at least after the most recent one) or do you have any apps that you always install after a fresh flash?
[Touch HD General] millhauz:
thx for your reply....ill try another radio rom...

i hope its not a hardware issue. i dont want to go back to my HTC Touch 2 :D

every time i flash a eom i perform a hard reset and no apps are installed ( just the apps shipped with the rom.

anyway ill try another radio and i hope the issue will be gone.

thx a lot
[Touch HD General] olyloh6696:
Dont forget to perform Task 29 after each flash!
[Touch HD General] aloysius987:
my problem is (xperia 1) charges too fast one moment 10% next moment 70something... any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Hey Guys,

I have a wild idea and wanted to share the idea.

I was looking through quite a lot of bootloaders and I think we can use the wildfire bootloader and flash it on to our device. The thing is we might be able to intercept SEUS update and swap the wildfire bootloader into our device. I know what you are thinking how could the wildfire bootloader be any good to us? Well the thing it is compiled in ARMv6 as well as there still is the chance the configuration for the bootloader is stored onto flash. most bootloaders on ARM devices are configured via an JTAG board and create a configuration within the flash above bootloader code. usually this is exactly the same jump on all arm bootloaders. Developers later pull the first 1 MB or 2 MB of the nand and make this the bootloader image. which include configuration as well as the bootloader itself.

The trick would be to only flash bootloader from wildfire and leave configuration alone hoping it does the same jump to configuration as the seus does (which in fact is most likely)

So once the wildfire bootloader is ported and SE configuration is in there I think we should be able to flash it. The only thing that still could prevent is that bootloader is also checking if the new bootloader is signed by SE.

What do you guys think of this approach?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PTGamer:
Im not a pro on Modding but i think it may work.

flashing only the boot loader will be a dificult thing.

and you may want to try to crack a sign... (yes it seems strange)

but think with me if you could make a clone of the SE sertificates and put it on the wild fire boot loader

you have a crackerd boot loader :p

BTW

Good luck.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
i don't think wildfire got a s1 bootloader right?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
can't, I read in the x10 thread that this method will not work because the SE bootloader has its own security code(that's what they want to crack). Basically if you swap the wildfire bootloader, the phone won't boot up because it will reject the code.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] imperiallight:
Geohot has bought an x10 a few days ago to crack the bootloader (I think)... so maybe it can provide useful information if he manages it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aZuZu:
wow... great... idea!

Let's do that!

Let's flash booloader from MSM7225 chipset without SAKE enabled, to MSM7227 chipset with SAKE enabled chipset. Lets burn our chipsets ... Who is with me? Come on guys! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newtron_b1:
sorry but will tht really burn the chipset???:eek::eek:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Biodegradable:
well as the title said different approach.. that would be his approach haha :D... lol it wont burn your chipset.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newtron_b1:
huff.. thanx.. i saw read smwhr abt boosting the CPU to 1.9GHz i know that device might be having cracked bootloader! but is that possible!! and really want some speed to this device! atleast 200Mhz more..!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
damn i didnt check that :D you are actually right. I thought both were the same chipset :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SRT_:
//Delete if irrelevant

I somehow noticed that ZTE Blade has almost the same configuration with X10 mini pro...

Cpu: Qualcomm msm 7227 with ARM1136EJ-S cpu core on both devices

Adreno 200 graphics on both devices...

and many other similarities between them...

Info found on pdadb. net

Perhaps you could experiment with that...

//Delete if irrelevant
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
heh... isnt Geohot being sued by Sony?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
Yup, but he won't get sued because of hacking the phone. It's legal to mod your phone where he lived (United States) And beside with donations of his loyal fan, he had managed to put Sony at bay for now.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
You sirs should take a look @ X10 forums, they already cracked Bootloader :O
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
and you sir!

should take a look date the date of the first post of this topic

when this topic was opend they didn't bypass the kernel

not even with bin4ry his files :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
yah i know :), just saying that they bypassed bootloader o.O! owain we all trust you ! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bahkyp:
Someone has tried with data interrogation? Some CPU's check security codes a bit at a time. (RFID is notorious for this) You feed the possible code to them changing a bit at a time checking which clock cycle the CPU stops checking at thus which bit is wrong. Toggle the bit and repeat until you have the code.

(or we could read the entire thread before posting, sorry my bad)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
I am sorry to resurrect this post, but I would really like to ask one small question. Has the bootloader been cracked?

It's been a while since I came here, and now I see true dual touch, and I wonder, has it been cracked?

From what I understand, we have custom ROMs, OC and undervolting possibility and now dual touch. Is there anything we can't do with this phone?

Thanks all for your help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
The bootloader has not been cracked, but it has been bypassed. There is now a method to boot a 2nd kernel over the running one. But as far as I can tell, the devs are having trouble locating the root partition. (correct me if I am wrong)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
+1 thank for the information. Well I still hope that someone is able to get the bootloader cracked, but at least this way some cool things came for the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] greves1:
with slade's new roms (and thx to all devs who made this possible), the phone's potential has been pretty much fully unlocked. (i say fully not completely just because there are always tweaks to make it run faster/improve battery life/signal strength, etc) why bother flashing a bootloader at this point? x10mini pro is virtually unbrickable. you can always just reflash with seus and start again if something gets messed up.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
As greves1 said, there is simply no reason to attempt to crack the bootloader (hey unless you got someone inside SE willing to leak their signing keys out maybe XD)mt, custom roms, custom kernels are now possible. And the bootloader provides a fall back incase things fail, so we can reflash with SEUS.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] recca666:
Does that mean we cannot reflash with SEUS if the bootloader was craked instead of bypassed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
Booting into flash mode is provided by sony's bootloader. If we replace it with one that does not support flash mode. Well... you get the idea.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Bumping this :cool::cool:, so no advances at all ?, btw, x8 guys are working hard to make it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
Even if the bootloader is cracked? Then what? I think the only upside is that we may have real multi-touch but then again dualtouch is more than enough for such a small phone like ours. I know one thing for sure I will not be faffing around and playing with the boot flash Sony equipts us.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
What do you think about wifi tethering ? or kernel overclock ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
well, someone needs to make a custom kernel, but everyone's busy making custom ROMS
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Custom kernels will be made only when the bootloader will be bypassed. Please do NOT spam this thread.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
i thought the bootloader has been bypassed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
You thought wrong, Owain was going to be our saviour but he left like a little girl.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
Hey don't **** with Owain! You would thank him started the mini pro scene here in xda. He leave us beacuse of your kind!

But before he left he gave us an awesome rom and some base what could countinue other devs. All that for free, made it in his spare time. What if he did not share the rom what he made for himself? Not for anybody else, just for himself, just for fun and free of charge. I tell you: you still would use SE's ****ing stock rom.

So wash your mouth or shut up!

If you dont like it, make rom for yourself and be happy with it.

And don't **** devs, if you don't like their work, do it yourself.

Temes
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
It was a joke man, relax.... and btw as he was making the custom roms, at the same time he was also probably receiving some donations so it wasn't all for the love as you hoped. If you really want to do it all for free and have an aspiration to help struggling Mini Pro owners then you don't need to set up paypal donation links.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
I have no time and knowledge for that, but these guys have all my respect for what they doing.

Anyway, I'm sure that donation what they get is enough for buying bread and water but not anything else, but some dev will explain that if he want.

If u know please help me

Thanks

Hi there.

The advent vega is generally a uk product, i here it is available in some European countries. You need to look for a POV Mobii which is basically the same thing and available all over mainland Europe.

[Vega General] Lennyuk:
Depends what you want from a tablet, if you want the best android tablet around for the cheapest price, and are happy to root and put on custom roms then yes, get one.

If you want a device that works like an ipad out the box then no don't get one.
[Vega General] abcdus786:
Thanks..

I have decided I will buy it.. Can you guide me a link to install a custom rom which is stable and good.. As you are using one.. you must know.. :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
These kind of comments really get my goat! Apple didn't release anything or communicate things for ages - yet their fan boys didn't go mad about it! For gods sake the WP7 devices area few months old, MS has arranged an update to fix some issues (of which WP7 is not alone in having when new) and yet you are moaning because it will be a few weeks late?

The update fixes 2 issues: Copy and Paste and the marketplace app. That's it!

If Apple had issues with broken notifications, they wouldn't wait 6 months to address these. Microsoft hasn't even acknowledged that issue.

The problem is that M$ is attempting to play in the consumer space. They don't do that well. After their core OS/Office business, they got lucky with XBOX and everyone thinks they are good with the consumer. They aren't! They are great at the enterprise and that's it. And I'm not a fanboi.

[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
While I agree that if it really is Samsung devices holding it up, that they should push the update out to everyone else, I must defend what I think is easily the best WP7 device on the market. The Samsung takes the best pictures, uses fast NAND memory, has a superb screen, and a sleek form-factor. If that means that I have to wait a few extra weeks for an update, so be it. My phone works great as is. I knew that it wasn't as fully featured as Android or iOS when I bought it, and I knew that the first year or two would likely be bumpy. I was ok with that then, and still am.

Sorry if my having the best Windows Phone causes a delay to updates for your phone. :o
