[Q]Problem with wp 7.8 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda members i wanted to ask you for help cause i finally got the wp 7.8 update but i cant use bt share ringtone maker and my battery holds only 16 hours and it holded 1 day 14 hours before the update.Any help?

Oh yeah and i used seven-eighter.

bump

After you updated did you hard reset? Always a good idea, Also did you definitely flash the same firmware as you had before? Check your background tasks for unwanted running programs,
When you say you cant use ringtone maker and bluetooth share do you mean you cannot install them or you have installed them and they don't work? Try giving a bit more info when you post as it makes it a bit easier for us to try and help

I used seven-eighter.I downloaded bt share and its says i need to update to wp 7.8 but i already have it.when i want to download ringtone maker its says not compatible.

What is your Phone?

Nokia Lumia 800 RM-801

I hard reseted phone not working.

Bump.

Myself and my partner also recently updated our roms on our O2 Xda stellar, The flash went well for both of us, it was the after effect of realising there is no sliding home screen with the O2 release of this rom.
Im going through every file on our phones trying to see if its just hidden?
but so far nothing has turned up.
If anyone has managed to find a way to enable the sliding home screen please will you get in contact with me and post it here for everyone please.
Thank you

Hello there
I understand that the sliding panel home screen is available on non-touch smartphonedevices, although you may read it as a realse component of WM6.1. Bad wording I guess as it is a little confusing.
Regards.
Thanks
Thank you for the fast reply,
I feel slightly cheated by this but hey thats the way it goes. it would be quiet difficult for it to work with the size of the screen on the stellar but it would still of being a nice addition.
Thank you again for the response.
Simon Tasker
Well, to be honest I replied to this as I too was wondering where this feature was.
But hey, look at it this way, you have not lost any features!
In fact, since I got my XDA Stellar in nov 07 I have been using SPB Pocket Plus which offers more flexibility than what I believe Slidin home offers. Check out the Tabs on which you can add any file, program or even a whole plugin as I have the HTC Home plugin.
I've not seen first hand what Sliding Panel is like but Im very satisfied with this set up on mine and maybe this is helpful for you in achieving the same flexibility of customisation and personal taste. All of what you see is just from Pocket plus being ticked in the today screen items collection list.
Ok stupid question as there doesn't seem to be a manual for this on the XDA site.
When installing this, does it over-write any files? ie am I going to have to re-install and re-configure all my software? I just want to know before I do this while away from a net connection.

installing what? a program or flashing a rom?

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.

Sure, I have backup software, but I shall look at this as an opportunity to flash and re-install. Had just better make sure I do all required syncing first

The new ROM. On the O2 site it implies it won't nuke your stuff. Sure it says...
In order to ensure that important files and data do not go missing from your Xda during the software download process, please save them to your PC first before you begin. You'll then be able to reload them onto your device after the software download process is complete.

but that could be read as it might go tits up and break your files, but you'll otherwise be ok. It also doesn't mention 3rd party applications.

Whenever you flash a new ROM the handset gets formatted. Any data on the handset will be lost. If you want to keep anything, transfer it to the memory card first......

HTC Touch HD Problem

Guys,
I need your help. My HTC Touch HD cannot initiate the TouchFlo (3D), and I cannot view it the way it should be at all. I don't know what happened but it just doe sthe following when you restart it:
It will go to the TouchFlo (3D) Page and the message saying "Tap Here to Launch TouchFlo (3D)
I tap and it keeps saying Launching TouchFlo (3D) but it never does that
I can access the mobile from the Start Menu but I want my Touch HD Back to the way it was before.
Anybody has any suggestions please post them or email me at: [email protected]
thank you guys

Save PIM data (ex with PimBackUp or similar) then make an HardReset: HD off, Hold VolUp+VolDown then one click on PowerOn Botton.
D'rath
PS: The process erases all your data but solve the SW problems
Wait, hard reset is the last solution!
Have you installed an application or any graphics drivers? New rom?
If so then you could try to uninstall it and see if the problem is solved!
Sometimes I had this when installing bad drivers.
You could try to install these drivers. (at least before doing a hard reset)
helio is correct,
HR is the last resort (although it will of course fix the problem) as you wont understand what has caused the underlying problem, you will then install the same software/apps and end up with the same issue.
Look at what you have have installed recently, or changed manila files. An incorrect change if playing with a manila file will cause touchflo not to start.
Thanks Guys for your Comments and Recommendations, I really appreciate that,
I need to know how to Backup the PIM Data. I found a file with pim next to it and I already saved it on the Storage Card. Is there any other PIM File(s)? I also listened to you onnot doing the Hard Reset, and removed every software I have doubt about or had installed recently. But the problem still presists, TouchFlo (3D) Cannot launch. Help and thanks again.
Use this app, zip below, to back up your data (emails, contacts etc). The app is simple to use. Word of warning if you use Exchange to sync email and contacts, be CAREFUL....restoring your contacts and then syncing will duplicate all your contact entries (i know because i did it and ended up with 2000 contacts!!!)
You dont say what you had installed, just that you had removed them. Purely unistalling may not fix the issue if a registry change has not reversed.
Have you been playing with any manila files, or deleting anything you shouldnt be? Have you been playing with the registry?
If you really cant analize what you have done and without much more info, you have to decide if the HR is the only available option to you (ie you want the quick fix).
Dear Timmymarsh,
thank you for all you've done for me, I really appreciate that. I am sorry I did not mention what I did. What I have done is try a new ROM, I think it Was WWE but which one I don't remember. I downloaded a bunch of files from this site, thinking they would work without testing them first. But they did not turn out to be what I was looking for. I downloaded the Choco Clock, Sygic GPS, and others from the Manila....and other developers but when I unzipped and installed them they did not work for some reason. So I just deleted them, the thing is I know I should have uninstalled them first. But for some reason I just can't even find the files created by these add-ons or applications. No, I did not touch the registry at all. I am not a Software Man, obviously you guys are amazing in this stuff, I am more into infrastructure if you have any uestions about Wireless Network or Physical Security let me know. I am trying to learn more about this Mobile and want to be able to utilize it to the fullest. Thank you again. For this time I think I am going with the HR so I can erase everything that I downloaded and did not setup Properly, then I am going to install only trusted add-ons and softwares. thanks.
No probs my friend, its what we are here for yes
As for what you have done, its always best to uninstall first, just deleting causing reg problems hence the issues you are now facing. I would say on this occasion HR is your best bet. Best bit of advise i can give you is, install one app/software, test and if there are no compatability issues then add another, if there is then at least you know to safely remove by unistalling that app.
Have fun, the HD is a brilliant bit of kit and can be expanded/modded vastly

WM6.5 and Avaya as dialler

Hi,
I am new on this portal but I read a lot in the last days and was very surprised of the solutions you find and also the apps you made working. Great
I know its not looking very good to ask as newbie for help but I hope you can help me... I am searching for more than a week for a solution and tried even to edit the registry but unfortunately I am not good enough to find the solution
So what do I want do to?
I have a HD2 (branding free) and I want to install Avaya One-X mobile.
Well the installation was succesfull and I also get it running inside my company and also the private modus. But since I have it installed I hear no ringtone. It always plays an "ding" and thats all.
So right now I always have to keep my eyes on my mobile to see if someone calls me or not.
And the second problem is that I also get no caller picture displayed..
But as soon as I deinstall the one-x everything is working (phone rings and caller picture is displayed)????
So you are my last hope to find a solution. Please can you help me?
If you need any further infos please let me know
Thanks
Frank
oh... the one-x mobile software is free for download on the avaya webiste
I can post you the link later (I am not allowed to post it right now...)
i'm getting mad with it...
Now I am a step further.. I now that the software deactivates the onboard call handler. I think it is only a registry setting to reenable it. after done the caller name+picture should be displayed and even the call-slider should be back.
Does someone have an idea where I can find the entry?
well now I know exactly the differents between the registry with one-x installed vs without. But I have no experiences in reading/interpreting my results.
Is a Dword something which can be used as name? or is it only a value?
Does someone has a guide for beginners please?
Did you contact Avaya support for assistance?
I have recently taken over all our telecoms at the office (avaya system)
Saw your post on One-x and been reading a little on it. Where did you get the install files from and did you get it working in the end?
I have a support contact with a company called central so I can contact them for free advice if needed
is this the version you are using?
http://support.avaya.com/css/appman...loads/P0438/5.2.x/C201012083328498084#summary
I'll take a look at what the installer does as I've not heard of it before but it's not letting me register to download it .
yep that's the software I am trying to download
Could not create an account either
I have emailed my support company and they will be sending the software to me on a disc.
thanks for your responses.
I installed the version for pocketpc WM6 (not the UC version) and yes it is working fine
But:
The problem I have is that since I have it installed it
- my mobile does not play a ringtone any more
- "slide to answer" and "show caller name+picture" is away
When I get the disc tomorrow ill post up the results.
This app will be very helpful if i get it working
As for the no ringtone issue I am not sure.
I would attach it... but i have no permissions...
@ fards: there are two versions. one for "Windows mobile 5"and the other one for "Windows mobile pocket pc" (here you can find it for WM6). the first is a UC versions. For this you need an internet connection and a uc-server running in your company. the other one is for normal mobile use. it calls via the phone connection the server and then your call is managed by the server.
support.avaya.com/css/appmanager/public/support/Downloads/P0483/C20090710162819340875658#files
you can find it here for free and you need no login
I do not see the HD2 listed as compatible device.
Did you get it working or still having problems?
How does the Avaya interface on the mobile phone look like?
Is it replacing the WM dialer completly or only while Avaya software is running in the background?
I have just installed it onto my HD2. The install hung at the end for about 20 mins. Reset device and the software has replaced my dialer. Appears to be working but im reading on how to configure the ini file now.
Tested on personal mode and call connected fine.
it replaces the dialer completly...
for the ini file you need the settings of your ACM. here you have to enter different extensions for each function...
you also has to to enter your mobile number in the ACM. Because your are identified via your number.
But can you test if you get a ringtone for incoming calls? thats my problem. I get no
Just to draw a conclusion to this This topic. This solution does not work correctly on HD2. Unless someone has managed to do this and has not shared?
sry... I was offline for a while... Does somesone find the solution?
No i gave up in the end..... bloody crap

What device are you using? Chevron is a tool to get your device developer unlocked. To use the tool you must first install the cert, like you already did. Neither the tool nor the cert have something to do with the marketplace. To be able to use the marketplace, you need a Windows Live ID.
i have a htc trophy, i can enter in the marketplace but i cannot download enything
, i am doing a restore now

But you set up your Windows Live account and entered the activation code that came with your device, right? Without that, you cannot use the marketplace.
ye the account is fine, but it s after i installed the certificate file, still not working after the restore
Is there maybe a problem with the marketplace just now? I've just tried to download a few different things and am getting message along the lines of "can't get this info right now, check back later"?
I've not installed anything or done anything out of the ordinary today on my phone?

Yeah...unfortunately, learned that the hard way. Now I can't get my phone back the way i want it until this issue is fixed.
**UPDATE**
Just for the heck of it, I created a new live id and was able to download apps. is there a way I can switch all my transactions from the live id that's not working to the live id that is working?
I don't know about that.. But I have switched from mobudget to my budget app.. And my trial expired last night .. Since than I have been trying to buy it but nothing ..

Is anyone else still having problems with the marketplace? I'm still getting the "can't get this information right now, check back in a little while" error when I try to download anything.
Edit : I also can't download any apps or music through Zune on my laptop so I'm guessing my windows live I.d. has developed some kind of problem in the last 24 hours. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Everything is fine now for me.. microsoft updated mp with new apps and new featured apps and things like that.. maybe thats why their is a downtime on weekends..
Update:
I can install/buy apps now..
Patience people... same with updates and problems.
I would have f***** ** my phone a while ago I haven been patient with NoDo and forced it.
