Hi,
I am completely frustrated from my Window 7.5 Mango.
I was using Android, having lots of apps in market/rooting etc. As compare to Android, Mango is nothing
Could anybody guide me to install Android into my Nokia Lumia 710
...no you can't...If you don't like it, sell it....
So can i install Windows 6.5 into Mango?
Thanks for ur reply,,,
I was having many apps & cracks for window 6.5. So is it possible to install Win 6.5 into my mobile -Lumia 710 ?
My main motive is to install apps/game into my mobile, but in windows market place I am not finding good apps for free (not even paid)

You'll find much better apps for WP compared to Windows Mobile. It's sad you decided to buy a phone without doing any research whatsoever.

Actually... get in touch with the other guy who wants to put WP 7 on his Inspire 4G and switch devices.
Actually just wait a while, I think I heard some where that DFT is working on a ROM for 2nd gen devices. Then you will be fully unlocked and able to customize and even have Bluetooth file transfer and so on.

2nd gen HTC's not Nokia sadly. The only real solution is if you want a phone that has Android on it buy an Android phone. If you want a phone that has iOS on it buy an iPhone. If you want something thay you can hack the hell out of buy an HD2. Or you can be like me and do all of the above
i am also looking for similar solution...unfortunately right now there is no android solution....the most recent progress is interior unlocked the phone, similar to the rooting concept. Microsft and Nokia are extremely picky about allowing changes.

Three questions:
1. If you wanted Android, why the heck did you buy a Windows phone?
2. If you already know that people haven't yet ported Android to the Lumia 710, why did you ask? That thread talks about the progress toward doing this, and says it doesn't work yet.
3. Why are you posting a device-specific question in the general WP7 Q&A forum? I mean, you linked to the exact Q&A thread relevant to your question. You could also check the Lumia 800 (typically also includes 710 since they are almost identical internally) Development sub-forum, and read the unlock/NAND-access thread there...

frustrating for him is i think the approach, he purchased a wp7 but want android on it. that's funny, you dont buy a golf cab to race against an sports car. you buy a sports car not a comparison with that car to wp7
the second thing. he want maybe to try android, because of the hacking abilities and customization and bla bla... and in the end everyone, and believe me everyone switches to the stock things that you have on your phone since the first day. that's the same with nokia and symbian, eveyone of us wanted a cool background picture, "cool" sounds, gimicks, but in the end nokia had a very good interface and backgrounds and sounds. he purchased now a nokia lumia 710 for which people sit many weeks to think of the variety of sounds and lockscreen so that it suites all of us. and after 100 background i use now the stock ones... the same is with custom accent color, i used 150 different to come to the stock ones, which suites definitely the best! thats why microsoft said 9 10 accent are enough because we get in the end wp8

eemmmm..if i'm not mistaken the market for winmo has already dead isn't?lumia is more better than old Pocket PC,i think there will be a lot of chance to do "something" with it,imagine man..some of old PPC device has already running android on it(especially the great HD2),so don't give up to your device

Calm down, he was just trying to help.
For the record, WP isn't better than wm, two different devices for two different jobs, MS may have dumped one of them but I can state without doubt that WM is alive and kicking in the business world and will be for some time to come yet I bet the other thing to remember is that wm development kickstarted android, when droid took off all the devs split their focus, I wouldn't bank on their ever being a new " hd2 " ever again

It is possible to install custom rom
Just visit the site (windowsphonehub.in/tutorials/updating-unlocking-nokia-lumia-710-wp-7-8-jailbreak) every thing is provided there abt installation of custom rom
I "re-animated" my HTC 7 Pro by replacing the digitizer and upgrading the internal memory.
It worked and the phone is just great with its keyboard.
After my HTC 7 Pro broke some months ago, I bought a Lumia 800. Great phone but I miss the keyboard, that's why I tried now to repair the old HTC 7 Pro.
What I really like with my Lumia is the NOKIA drive - just perfect, but the phone has only a poor battery life when doing the traffic navigation.
The HTC 7 Pro has a better battery, that's why I would like to use if for traffic navigation.
Is there any way to install NOKIA drive on a HTC 7 Pro?
It is a standard (Swiss) HTC 7 Pro, unlocked (all sim cards work) and it has all HTC updates.
Do I need to root the phone? How does this work?
I would like to keep the operating system like it is (it works great) - thus, is there any chance to convince the phone to install the NOKIA drive app?
I am a nweby with all this flashing/rooting/... stuff. Any information, background knowledge, guide (for the HTC 7 Pro) would be really great!
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Peter
Using dev-unlock, you could install the Nokia Marketplace XAP (see my signature) but the Nokia Drive app, although you could install it, would refuse to run on your non-Nokia phone. With full-unlock (i.e. custom ROM) you could either trick it into running (I don't know if this is safe, but it's possible) or install a modified version of the app (which is technically illegal in much of the world but pretty common), though.

i dont get it, it must be because i m a newb. i read news saying nokia drive is now opened to other windows phone 7. i just downloaded the nokia drive 3.0.0.0.xap (although no idea yet what to do with it .
i also read that availability on windows phone will depend on phone maker decision.
could you please be more specific about "tricking it into running", or how to get and obtain a modified version of the app?
i m very surprised that i did not find more threads about installing this very good app on our pro 7

Hello to all!
I own an HTC hd7s from at&t running wp7.5. The only tweak I've done to this phone is the sd card upgrade to 32gb. Everything else is factory stock.
My question is does anyone knows if at&t will be releasing the 7.8 update for this device? I would like to keep it legit....
But if no plans are out there for updates for this device I'll be more than willing to hack away this phone.
So in my willingness to hack the hd7s, are there any roms being cooked for this device to upgrade to 7.8 or wp8?

No one knows the plans of ATT man. I myself don't think there will be anything for us officially (HTC Titan here). But seeing that the 7.8 update was pulled from MS and Nokia's servers (due some issues with 7.8), you might be waiting for an additional amount of time. But like I said, I don't think the update will be officially released for the other phones on ATT. Like always, the other OEMS (Samsung/HTC) haven't pushed the US carriers into giving its users updates.
Some questions from greece!

You can purchase a 32gb micro Sd card for about $20.00 us dollars. The process is very simple. You can find videos on YouTube that show you how to do this. Make sure you back up your data
For the rest of your questions.... I don't know...

Why you people want to screw your mind with this topic?
Just install Deepshining V8.0 or Dynamics V2.0, they work on the HD7 and the HD7S with no problems...
and get done with this "update issue", when the chefs create a new ROM based on the new update, then it's moment to update the ROM...
Pretty easy...
Thanks faustolg, now question those roms will update to what version of WP?
Sent from my T9295 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
8858 I believe
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
Both are the same ROM version
7.10.8858.136
there are minor ("proprietary") differences, is up to you what ROM you'll keep.
Both are compatible with WP Backup, Windows Phone Device Manager + TouchXperience, but Dynamics is the only one that is Cab Sender compatible...
A few dates ago I found a nice piece of software called "seveneighter" it automates the WP 7.8 update. And viola! 45 minutes later my HTC hd7s is now WP 7.8!

Problems with games on Windows Phone 8 Nokia Lumia
Hello I have a Nokia Lumia 620, and tried to install a game called Lets Golf 2 version 1.3.0.0 by the method developer what happens is that when you finished installing and everything, I'll play the game and simply service begins is black screen and comes back, I've tried everything and I can not solve the problem, does anyone know help me with this problem is the same and I realized that the site does not have a straight section for Lumia 620, 720 and 520, could create it has many Brazilians who have these devices and do not stir it has sites with accurate information ....
There is one more thing already has news of some jailbreak for Windows Phone 8, especially the line of Nokia Lumia?
Thank you for your attention
i personally have installed it and everything works right don't know the version though. As for jail-breaking the phone its not called jail-breaking that's for apple. Its simply called unlocking and no one has been able to yet. when there is a way the development part of the forum on the windows 8 would light up with roms and explanations on how to unlock the Nokia phones. Im waiting on it too and as with many others.

Hello guys, I am Thomas from Hong Kong. I had bought the HTC E8 (white colour) China Unicom version through online. Used for a week and would like to write a simple unboxing here.
The phone costs me RMB 2999. Package includes: the phone itself, a China brand Power Bank, screen protector, Dot View case and 16G Toshiba class 4 micro SD card. There are several colours of Dot View case and the online seller randomly choose a grey one for me.
The front of the phone is identical with HTC M8, but the back comes with plastic instead of metal like M8. Packing phone, Antutu benchmark screen capture and some sample photos are attached below. I zip the sample photos for convenience.
My using experience:
1. It is a dual sim phone. Sim 1 support 4G network while Sim 2 only support 2G network
2. 5 inch size is perfect for single hand control when compare with the last phone I use ----- LG G Pro which has 5.3 inch of screen
3. With the S801 CPU, it runs very smooth
4. English, Chinese simplified and Chinese tradition (Taiwan) are available as system language.
5. It is compatible with M8 screen protector (I am using a M8 Glass M screen protector and it works great) but NOT compatible with M8 case protector as the position of camera is different
6. There are some local (Mainland China) apps.Some can be uninstall by default. Some cannot unless root the phone.
7. Blinkfeed is available in this phone but the region is set to China only. It only support those Chinese social network apps and IM apps, such as weibo, wechat. It cannot support facebook, twitter.
8. There is no google service by default. However, I can download an app called "GMS Installer" through the HTC Marketplace comes with the phone. Open GMS Installer and it will help you to download and install those google service such as google play, google map etc.
9. Battery is non removable. It can add micro SD Card. NFC is also available in this phone.
10. With daily usage such as listening music, instant messaging, social networking, internet access, the phone can be used around 10 hours or something.
Feel free to ask question, thanks

What do you mean with not supporting facebook and twitter?
After installing Google Services, you can't install facebook or twitter from Google Play?
My mistake, I understand this only applies to Blinkfeed.
Where did you get your phone from? Merimobiles? Efox?
Regarding the non-uninstallable chinese apps, are they always-on, battery-draining services or something you can just ignore without any consequence?
Thank you.

Hi Thomas,
first thanks for your information about the E8.
I have the chance to get one too but i would like to know some details before buying.
Maybe you can help me ?
How is th dual-sim-menue in th E8 ? How does it differ in the top-line ?
I have S4 Dual-Sim GT-I9502. Can you set in the pull down menü the main sim ? Switching that fast ?
How far is rooting ? Doesnt work the tools from M8 ?
Did you use it in Europe already ?
Did you get the normal Google playstore over the GSM-Installer from HTC-Marketplace ?
Did you try the "more local"-app for different languages ?
Did you get updates OTA already ? Buildnumber ! Android 4.4.2 ?
Next week comes here in germany/austria/swiss the HTC ONE M8 Dual SIm. This is an exact copy of the "normal" M8 only with two sims.
Body is in full metal, camera is same as in M8, everything same, but only two sims.
Attention !!! The prize is 5770 RBM (680€) !!! Thats much. Ok , fine that they bring it to europe but prizing is really high.
OK, when i order from etotalk etc prizing is same espically when customs duty has to pay.
Thanks for your answers,

There is no China Unicom on the back. However, you can see the China Unicom when you power on or power off the device.
No Google Playstore, Google Maps by default. The method of adding them had been mentioned in the 1st post

Dear Mr .....Um.....Mr Hell,
1. I would say the dual sim menu is nothing special. I had done some screen capture related to dual sim menu, you may take a look.
2. There is no option related to dual sim in the pull down menu like the Samsung GS4 dual sim version. When you want to make a call or send out sms, after you press the number or input sms text, you need to choose which sim card you want to use for dial or sms. Screen capture of dial menu and sms menu is attached for you reference.
3. I did not try root this phone yet.
4. I do not have chance to use it in Europe yet. Maybe I have if I can save more money and go travel to Europe
5. Yes, I can get the normal Google Playstore through the GMS Installer
6. Yes, I use apps come with Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English. No problems are found.
7. It comes with Android 4.4.2. By the way, I received OTA updates today. I update it but I can't find any difference
About the dual sim version of HTC M8, I think wtf it is not just worth that expensive. If you are not that in need of 4G dual sim phone, I suggest you can wait as we can expect more of 4G dual sim phone is coming in the future. But if you really want one right now, E8 is good.
Regards,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
you can say "goes" to me !
Thanks for you detailed discription and for the pics.
Same with me for the prize of the M8. Thats why i am going on E8. And i think on E8 is more community in the future. I dont have 4G Sim at the moment but it is my favourite to go on Dual-Sim. Right now i have the gt-i9502 (S4) in use. My N9002 (Note3) i sold to a friend.
And now i need a new toy !
By the way before i forgot. Is on HTC something like Knox (on Samsung) ? Knox-trigger to see someone has done flashing Custom-ROM or anything else ?
With the "more local-app" i mean https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale to set language you want.
Playstore-link from europe !!! Didnt try this app !!! Read ratings !!!). This app can set language you want without root.
When i read right what you write you cant define the default sim that is used always when you dial except you chosse explicit the other one ? See my pics: First one in the menue bar the one which is active is squared around. Second one: When menue is pulled down there a two buttons, one for sim1 as default and the second for second as default. How does HTC manage that ?
Regards
Mr. Hell, Goes like
Hi Thomas.
Good post, I am envious that you got the dot case included for that price.
I purchased an E8 in shanghai yesterday and had to pay 3,200 RMB as they have sold out everywhere, and the demand is high.
I obviously want to root my phone so that I can either:
a) install Google apps and remove bloatware (yes I have run the GMS installer app but prefer to have full root control
or
b) flash a European ROM as they become available in the near future.
I haven't as yet seen any Custom Recoveries for this device yet.. I have been watching here: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1513-type-10958.html as I expected that they might become available there first. Are you aware of any other sites in China that might have a custom recovery available yet?
thanks thomas for the tips ,I hope the device to come in greece...
Hi,
Additional question to my post #12:
In german forum we have a discussion whether it is really DualSim-Full-active DSFA or Dual-Standby.
Can someone who has that device ensure what kind of Dual-Sim it has ?
Does it have nano or micro sim ?
Thanks a lot !

Dear Thomas,
Why the sample photos are in 4MP? Is not the E8 have 13MP camera?

By the way before i forgot. Is on HTC something like Knox (on Samsung) ? Knox-trigger to see someone has done flashing Custom-ROM or anything else ?
With the "more local-app" i mean https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale to set language you want.
Playstore-link from europe !!! Didnt try this app !!! Read ratings !!!). This app can set language you want without root.
When i read right what you write you cant define the default sim that is used always when you dial except you chosse explicit the other one ? See my pics: First one in the menue bar the one which is active is squared around. Second one: When menue is pulled down there a two buttons, one for sim1 as default and the second for second as default. How does HTC manage that ?

After an online search, Knox is something like security apps right? HTC does not provide such kinds of apps.
For the "Morelocale 2" you suggest, according to the description of the apps, it will work only if you root the phone or use the development tool to do some modification. I am not plan to root the phone at this moment (maybe later if some good custom roms come out) and the development tool is a little bit difficult for me. I had tried and install the apps, but without root or using development tools, it wont work.
For the dual sim, I had tried my best to explore every corner of the phone, there is no way to set which sim is default. I also attached the homescreen here, Unlike your GS4 dual sim version, the signal of 2 sims show with nothing special.

Hi Thomas.
Good post, I am envious that you got the dot case included for that price.
I purchased an E8 in shanghai yesterday and had to pay 3,200 RMB as they have sold out everywhere, and the demand is high.
I obviously want to root my phone so that I can either:
a) install Google apps and remove bloatware (yes I have run the GMS installer app but prefer to have full root control
or
b) flash a European ROM as they become available in the near future.
I haven't as yet seen any Custom Recoveries for this device yet.. I have been watching here: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1513-type-10958.html as I expected that they might become available there first. Are you aware of any other sites in China that might have a custom recovery available yet?

Dear Kiwiandy,
OMG WTF they sell it that expensive in Shanghai? Is it include the Dot View case, Powerbank, screen protector and the TF Card? I suggest if you wanna get a phone in China, ask you colleague or friend to help you order online. The price should be more reasonable.
I am also waiting for a custom rom so that the blinkfeed can support facebook, twitter. Support of weibo, wechat not useful to me indeed.

Hi,
Additional question to my post #12:
In german forum we have a discussion whether it is really DualSim-Full-active DSFA or Dual-Standby.
Can someone who has that device ensure what kind of Dual-Sim it has ?
Does it have nano or micro sim ?
Thanks a lot !

Just conduct a small test. It is a Dual Standby phone only. I use sim 1 to dial out some kinds of service hotline and I use my mother's phone to call my sim 2 no, sim 2 can't connect.
And it use nano sim for both sim slots

When I make the 1st post, I am not allowed to post external link for photo. I just found that I can do so now. Right click for original size. The quality of the photo is much or less the same as the last phone I had, the LG G Pro
