Hello, I have some questions.

My Kernel version is 2.6.29 / 2.0.1.A.0.47.

Can I use the flashtool to change my baseband from 006 to 015 without a problem, using blagu's baseband collection?

Thx
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakenfall:
Yes you can.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno D. Dutra:
Thx, I'm gonna try it later.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno D. Dutra:
Only to be sure, to change my 006 to 015 I must use the 015 blagu's file, right?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tobi@s:
Yes, use the file from blagus.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngdilin:
I have a 06 baseband, somehow I managed to flash miniCM 6 onto. There was a restart loop, but I managed to get around it by disabling the overclock. Can I just flash the 15 baseband onto it now?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nininhafelix:
the only requirement for basebands is to be E15a or E15i, according to your phone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
I'm having the same problem mention in this post except I have an e15a and I flashed it with E15a_X8a_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015

I got baseband 015, BUT kernel 2.0.1.A.0.47

What do I do?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbts25:
First install 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware then baseband
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
the one that's named "X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_1241-4091-Customized_RU_World" in Blogus' mediafire folder? It's the only one I could find, I'm not sure where to get them :/

or is it this one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941458

If it is the second one, won't that remove all my applications and settings?

By the way, Pc companio and SEUS are NOT letting my update my phone to 2.1.1 or to baseband 015
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbts25:
It is first one from Blagus's Mediafire folder. It will delete your data and settings
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
Ok, I did that. I used the one on his mediafire and then I flashed to baseband 015 (for e15a), but my phone keeps saying e15i, when it actually is an e15a. In the note inside his mediafire it said that one could use the kernel for e15i even if one has an e15a, so what's wrong?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panchop:
In my case, when I use seus my baseband change to 015
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
I had to force a reinstall in SEUS to get 2.1.1, but if I do a phone reset (through Privacy settings > Factory data reset) it goes back to 2.0...

Yeah, I was about to do that, but since the force update via SEUS actually moved the phone to 2.1.1 I though to myself "**** it", and went ahead and flashed to CyanogenMod 6. So far so good. I even did a hard reset via ClockworkMod Recovery and it didn't go back to 2.0.6.

Anyhow, thanks for your help, it was valuable!

Hi Guys,

Have replaced my TouchHD with new phone, and wanted to use it as a dedicated Tomtom (and other satnavs) prob. without a sim. (not fussed about traffic etc..)

Could you guys reccomend a Rom that is quick running, and smooth/accurate with tomtom? Doesnt have to be a mega-bells-and;whistles build just Superclean, superfast & super reliable !!

I have looked into some roms, but all are very complete with apps and stuff I dont need.. and I have never ventured into the 'kitchen' :) This is not some lame "which rom is the best" thread !! I understand its subjective.. but given the subject ;)

Your advice woiuld be very much appreciated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballz0iron:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amarpatel:
my issue with CM7 was that battery life was nowhere where I'd like i to be, the headset button isn't functional, and the camera is pretty much unusual/****ty.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the customizability of CM7, and intend to flash it once it's stable, but I'd like to find good replacements for things like Samsung's contact/calander apps, which I think are better than default

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little8020:
CM7

On my first full day of CM7 I got better battery life than I did with Perception 10.3

Camera 360 has a free app works perfectly and takes pictures at full resolution, with a normal mode so you don't have to have picture effects, but I don't know about a video recorder replacement yet though.

Hello I am using gal 3 apollo and I have had a problem with some audio settings

Even with the 3.5 mm jack sound is not loud it seems they have locked the output for battery life somehow. And I just bought a New Nokia BH 505 Which is pretty clear . But When I connect it to my phone It has a weird like low quality sound as if the signal is not good. At first I thought it was range so I put it next to my BT still same and i even walked to the other room .. and it still sounded like that so signal is fine. I tried this BT on my Blackberry Full quality rich music the whole workds so i know its the samsung.

I heard of a hack to increase output 3.5mm on a Spica in service mode but i didn't understand or know how to unlock this limit (if this is the Problem) I Alson See a Bluetooth Gain settings I have the link over here http://android.bigresource.com/Samsung-i7500-headphones-volume-hack-galaxy-hl7LazklU.html.

Name: "Weather4Me WP7"

Current version 2.3

Weather information provided by AccuWeather(TM)

* Weather by GPS location or for selected city

* Live Tile on the Start screen

* Detailed actual weather conditions

* Today weather forecast

* Up to 5 days forecast information

* Both Metric and US (Imperial) units support and their automatic selection

* Data refreshing on the application startup and manual data refreshing

* Fast search city by name (partial name) or US zip code

* Ability to add city to the favorites and fast switching between them

* No limitation on the favorites number

* Since the version 2.2 app shows ads at the bottom of the main window

The program is optimized for traffic usage.

For example, one weather query takes near the 15K data.

Traffic for city search query may be vary, but no more than 1K in the most cases.

When you tap on the "Details" link on the "5 Days" page program creates temporary page named "AccuWeather"

and shows detailed weather info from the Accuweather site for mobile devices.

In this case program works as web browser.

If you like this app and think others might find this application useful,

sharing your experience in a short review on the WP7 Marketplace would be highly appreciated.

It is very easy with the "Weather4Me WP7". Just tap "Review" button on the "About application" page.

What's new in the 2.3 version

* Some usability improvement and minor bugs fixed

* Live Tile service several upgrades since the version 2.2

* Fixed Live Tile generation bug for Australia and Canada

* Improved Live Tile support for most European countries

Live Tile Demo (1 of 2)

FAQ (based on the users reviews on the WP7 Marketplace)

Q. Program shows me weather info in the wrong units. How to fix this?

A. Application selects units automatically according to your Regional Formats settings.

Just tap on device "Start" button, go to the programs and start "Settings".

On the "system" page tap on the "region & language" item.

On the "region & language" page you should select "Region format" properly.

After that WP7 will prompt you to restart system to apply new settings.

(Also you can see these actions on the demo video, link below)

Q. On the "5 Days" page program shows me date without days name. I want to see them. How to change date format on that page?

A. "Weather4Me WP7" is using Long Date format specified in your system settings for date display on the "5 Days" page.

Since the version 2.2 application always shows days of week for all regions/countries.

I don't understand.. Why not live tiles?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Good question and simple answer below :)

Because for Live Tiles "push notification" should be used.

Currently it is slow and non reliable in most cases and does not meet my requirements for this technique.

Here very good article about "push notification" and its problems.

Especially very interesting comments from the developers.

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx

Thanks for your feedback :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Here the quote of that article (see link to it in my previous post):

"Since the configurations of mobile operator networks are all different, the delivery of Push Notifications may vary.

Microsoft works closely with our mobile operator partners to ensure consistent delivery where possible

but developers should test across multiple mobile operator networks when feasible.

By programming defensively around real world connection states, developers can gracefully degrade functionality in their applications.

As we move forward with future versions, we’ll work to make this easier and more reliable for developers."

So, when push notification becomes more reliable, live tiles will be implemented ASAP.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Pauldimar:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vangrieg:
An unreliable live tile is much better than no live tile. I really don't see the point in yet another weather app without a live tile when the major problem with current popular ones is that their tiles are butt ugly.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Does it means that false (or out of date) weather information provided by me on the live tile to my users much better than just static picture? :)

Program is very fast, just one tap and you can see actual info.

I'm not against this modern technique, which comes from other popular platform.

I'm watching for WP7 evolution very attentively.

Currently it looks like MS DOS for IBM PC AT (1987~1989) without real multitasking but with the great graphics shell.

And the push notifications looks like the interrupts implementation for that OS.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Thanks for your feedback.

Sorry, Live Tiles is not in my current development plan, there are some other primary goals.

Additionally for people who want this feature I must say following:

1. Live Tiles requires web service implementation.

2. This web service should be hosted on the Windows hosting.

3. Reliable (commercial) Windows hosting is more expensive than Linux hosting with the similar parameters (monthly traffic limit, disk space, etc.)

So, if you

really

want this feature you can vote for it on my site.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
I agree fully. I know you mentioned in a few posts after this post to go to your site to vote for Live Tile but it seems to do that, registration is required, so I'll prefer just to indicate my vote here.

In fact, I would say that Live Tile with just the latest temperature reading is even more crucial than Live Tile with a number showing the number of new emails!

And thanks for the great app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jmerrey:
I'm very surprised that anyone would want an unreliable live tile as opposed to no live tile. Why would you want a live tile that states the temperature from yesterday? Not only that, but why would a dev release a feature on an app that he knows won't work properly. Imagine the amount of complaints he/she would get.

That said, I'm still confused by the whole live tile situation. I have some app (weatherbug, sports scores) whose live tile works perfectly, and others (flory, motweets, flixster, beezz) that won't work at all

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vangrieg:
The app I use currently provides accurate enough weather information on my homescreen. Don't see why yours wouldn't. The only problem I have with the app I'm currently using is that its LT is ugly as hell.

While your point 1. is true, point 2. is false, which makes point 3. irrelevant. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...fication+php+windows+phone&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

As regards "voting", it's not how it works. :) You make an app I want to buy, I buy it. You don't make an app I want to buy, I don't buy it. I make a suggestion, you choose to implement it or to ignore it and pursue other priorities. If you priorities match mine, we strike a deal. I don't make bets on features. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vangrieg:
Like I said, I'm using a weather app with a LT, and it works quite well. It doesn't show weather from yesterday for sure. Even if it misses one or two changes a day, it's not a big deal.

Guess it depends on the quality of the web service among other things.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Please, don't suggest me bad solution.

In this my post I've spoke about reliable implementation.

Even service will work OK, there is no kind of guarantee that it will work with other than Megafon mobile operator.

Please, read this article http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vangrieg:
I've read the article and the comments. All that says is that push notifications aren't a reliable method for realtime alerts and other changes that need to be pushed immediately. This was known from the very beginning. Weather forecasts change a few times a day, so delays don't matter. And even if I miss one change, that's not a big deal.

Anyway, since you seem to dislike the idea and don't want to implement the feature, I won't waste our time here. It's your app, so of course you are free to implement or not implement anything you want. I'll just look elsewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
I'm not dislike this idea. All what I want to say about this subject I've already said in my earlier posts.

I'm not speaking about real time notification. It is impossible at all.

Carriers don't like permanent connections also there is a problem with connection through proxy, etc, etc, etc...

So, problem with the interaction web service <-> client and dependent on the different factors.

Some quote from the developer comments from that article:

"These are some carriers where users with my app had these problems:

- O2 UK

- AT&T US

- T-Mobile NL"

What I can say additionally - just sucks! :) Sorry

BTW weather info on the AccuWeather server updates every 30min (approximately).

Be patient, maybe I can suggest acceptable solution but not in the nearest release of my app.

Thanks for your time and discussion.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
FAQ in the initial post has been updated.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] RoboDad:
Nice weather app! Aside from the live tile debate that is already raging ;), I have a couple of other suggestions that would make it much more usable for me.

First (and most important), in many places the text is too small. For example, on the "current" page, there is not much information there. It would be nice if there was some use of larger fonts and color to make the relevant information stand out better. And on the favorites setup and selection screens, the links are too small. People with fat fingers will have difficulty selecting a city easily.

Second, there should be consistency between the Current, Today and 5 days pages. The "details" link on the 5 days page is good, but it shouldn't be a link. The user should be able to tap anywhere in the rectangle for a day to switch to the web site details. And similar functionality should exist on the Today and Current pages (although having the entire page tappable on the Current page might be too much are - maybe just the weather icon/temp details).

It's a great start though. Keep up the good work!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
Thanks for your useful post. It really helps me to improve my app. usability :)

What can you say about double tap, not just a tap for navigation to the AW page

from the Current, Today and 5Days items to prevent accidental moving to the AccuWeather page?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] RoboDad:
I think that might work. Double taps are slightly less intuitive for me (not sure how others feel, though), but I can see your point about accidental tapping being a potential problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] s_v_l:
OK, Double Tap for switching to the AccuWeather page will be included in the current app update.

I don't understand problem with the font size on the pages. I'm using device "Normal Size" and larger fonts for all pages, but on the 5Days page - device "Small Size" font to avoid scrolling in the portrait view mode. I'm asking because don't have real device and can test app using emulator. Therefore my "stupid" questions. :)
