Just got an i760 for my wife. Will be porting her verizon number to page plus in the very near future, however, i would like to first get the phone updated and working good before we activate it. Got a few questions, I know there is an update for windows 6.1 but both of our pc's are running windows 7 and it appears that there is no update for that system. Is this true? is there a workaround? Also, how well will I be able to get this new phone to synch with my wife's computer? It would be great if she can have her calender and contacts synch up everytime she plugs the phone in. Also, are there any other software options that anyone can recommend? I've seen some stuff that makes the screen look like an iphone, ect. Just wondering if there was a unanimous list of must have software add ons. Sorry if these questions have obvious answers, kind of a newbie here. If someone has some patience with an explanation,
How in the world do I get wifi to work? For instance, I have a wireless router here at home and I want to be able to lach on to the wireless network. Also, I was at a hotel that offered free wifi, how in the world can I automatically search without putting the network name so that the wifi network shows up? (you know, like when you have a laptop and you just click and it shows you all the available wifi connections you can connect too, I thought it would be the same for my cell phone). I travel so much so it will be almost impossible to always know the exact name of the network.
I have free dial up from my DSL provider, is it possible to dial up to this connection and surf the net on my i760 without a data plan? I tried setting up the connection, but it didn't seem to work.
Can I try out the installed software on the SCH-i760 before its activated to Verizon?I want to see if IE Mobile 6 will run a activex file I have for viewing a security DVR cameras thru the wi-fi.
I have everything working im trying to get the mms and wap working but i can get it to work in cdma work shop and i downloaded the cab file but i dont know how to install it on this type of phone any help
I have a Samsung i760, to begin with...the clock display on the today screen is set for 12 hours and shows the normal time and not military (no offense to the military personal out there)
My problem is my calendar and alarms. They both have military time .
I have gone to settings system clocks and alarms alarms
Put in a time...and it is ALWAYS military with no AM PM option.
Same with appointments on my calendar. No other option other than military time. It all worked fine up until a week ago and I can't find anything out there on the net that can help me resolve this.
Sometimes when I need to reboot/reset my i760 (Winmob 6.1, Spb Shell) it will not finish the boot cycle. I turn it on, I get the Samsung logo, the dark blue static Verizon wireless screen, then it about a half a second into the next screen (where the Verizon wireless logo "floats" down to a light blue screen) the system powers off. You can just see the red check in the logo start to draw and head down and the system just goes off.I thought I had solved it by pulling the battery for about 30 seconds, but now that doesn't fix the problem anymore. The only way to make the phone power on is to connect it to a power source (charger or cradle). Then it powers on normally.It does not matter the charge on the battery at the moment - I've had it do it any charge level, including 100% just off a overnight charge. This battery will normally last me 2 days of hard use.Any ideas?
Does anyone have info on how to unlock the filesystem on the Helio Drift so I can edit the cwCONFIGURATION.ini file? I tried using the default Samsung 16-digit code using CDMA Workshop. It says 'phone unlocked', but Bitpim or QPST wont allow a write of that file. Bitpim can't be used anyway, because the file is in the /mmda subdirectory and only QPST lets you set the default directory when reading the efs. Is there another EFS reading software I can use? Is there a specific 16-digit code for this model? I need to change the wap port, and that file is where it is stored. p.s. Samsung PST is no help, either. The Ocean I have had success with (it has a 16-digit code of it's own), but the Drift has been elusive for a LONG time now.)
I got into the filesys of my R560 today using unicdma just to find out the brew system no longer supports jad and jar files! I've been toying with the idea of putting JRE from suns website on the phone to run blooover2. anyone try this yet? I hate BREW! it would make it so easy to install java on my phone- then it would be super fly!
I am attempting to install a language to my SGS2 but before doing that must ascertain if my ROM is "deodexed" so need to locate a system file called framework. How do I find and access the system folder? navigated the phone via PC but wasn't able to find where the system directory is located.
finesse, sch-r810 that will respond at all. i lost web and wap after flashing, called metropcs after a few weeks, and lost voice service moments after that. service could not be found, thought i'd just flash again. a problem occurred that left my phone with no filesystem (i assume), and now i dont think anything is seeing my phone (com ports inactive). ive tried the well knowns that google would offer, bitpim, qpst, qdxm, p2k, multiloader and others, as well as plenty of non-samsung software that i thought/hoped might work (unipst, optiflash, others). just this evening i downloaded sdk tools and weird 'unlock sim' 'secret zone' softwares, nothing.
i actually recorded the processes, both computer and phone screens (desktop capture+webcam). planned an upload to Internet, but would like a solution/tip to accompany the problem. thats why the cdma request, or any software that can access qualcomm chipsets, or similar/usable characteristic. my model seems replaced to have been by newer samsung phones, though if the internals are similar, i'd like to express that to others.
administrators: i did post this just a minute ago in the metropcs forum first, by mistake. ive got a thousand tabs open and didnt notice until after the 'submit', if youre going to remove one, do that one please. its not in a general place and i didnt quickly see how to delete. thanks.
I've had my Samsung Seek since February and it's a pretty good phone, the best Boost Mobile has to offer second to the Samsung Prevail. I'd like to edit some of the system sound files and edit the theme and just open it up for customization. My girlfriend has a MyTouch 4G and my brother has a Samsung Prevail and I've rooted both their phones. I wish the Seek was as customizable as Android phones but hopefully you guys can help me out. I tried doing a search and nothing came up so I decided to post this topic. How can I go about editing the firmware to change system sound files and appearance? Can anyone link me to a how-to or explain the procedure to me? I'm not on the level of a developer or anything like that, but I can follow instructions pretty well and I can figure stuff out.I searched Google and found this, is it the right tool? How do I use it properly and not brick my phone? Will my service be interrupted once I'm done?
I'm still new to Samsung and it's on Cricket. Anyway I've finely figured out how to get into the file system with QPST. BitPim wasn't working for me. What has anyone else done from here? Can you add brew apps to the phone? Or change any system settings? What would really be good is if I could eliminate the ascending volume ring when calls come in. My girl friend has the Samsung My Shot II and it does not have that stupid ascending ring. I know with my last phone (UTStarcom / AudioVox) you could edit some files and get rid of some default sound efx and other stuff. I have the R560
I did the recommended system update last night and now my phone is completely unusable! I am gettin the error message "App error 602" and the option to restart every time I restart I get the same message.
I woke up this morning with an icon for the OS 7.1 update. So I started it probably around 7.30am. It is now 14.00pm and the screen hasn't moved from "Back up your device" "Social feeds 0%" and "Overall Backup progress 10%" since about 12pm.Is this normal? How much longer can I expect it to take? I can't do anything with my phone and it is stuck on that screen.
My Milestone's specific details are funished below.

As per the original official update schedule of Motorola the update was due for this model(EUROPEAN EDITION) on Q4,2010.But this was not by Motorola.Hence on my enquiry Mark informed me that Motorola has revised the schedule and advised me to look for it.Hence I found out the the revised schedule of Q1,2011 and notice that the update has already started to roll out.But even after the end of one month after Q1,2011 I didn't receive the update.I use to check the update information in the phone everyday.It always says your systemis currently update.Whether Motorola will give me the 2.2 update ever?Will anyone of the Motorola officials or Mark himself will please clear my anxiety and advise me the steps to be taken further to get the update without anymore further delay.Further there is one more thing.Recently whenever I try for system updates in the phone by going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates a message appears "The device is unable to connect to server.Try again later.".But whenever I try again and again later the same message appears.Hence what I have to do to get the update if it has been aired?Is there any other way to find the update and download and install in the phone?the phone is connected to 2G and i can browse internet successfully.
I have a Desire HD on Vodafone in the U.K and I have done every system update so far without a hitch but the latest one released today seems to have given me some problems.
I left the phone alone and it carried on and did everything just as usual but after it had completed the screen now appears to be unresponsive.
I cannot swipe the bar down at the bottom and hence my phone is locked all the time. The only way to restart is to pull the battery out but even after doing that several times and also removing the sim card and mem card I still have the same problem each and everytime
I've recently updated my N97 software to 21.0.045 (the last one). and right after the update is finished, it gave me "system error" on installing and now I can't get access to the clock, the calendar and others. it even stops responding for a while each time I open sittings... and there is no theme effects when the screen flips to landscape even if it is on.

I have been recommended to update the system software however i cannot do that as well as it is not being detected through USb i have tried using different cables different machines however its the same issue. That states that the issue is with the phone. IS there any way the i can update my system software through WIFI?
I performed a software update on my phone last night and it erased my email account. When I go back to reactivate my account, it asks for my password but will not activate. How can I reactivate the email account?
I am really happy with my htc one m8 and i just don't want to download any update(4.4.4) is there a way to stop it better than having to delay it every 4 hours...
After I made the last updates of my z2 from my phone, I cannot use my cellphone or made any call even I cannot open my contacts, it always made restart the system....
I just got an S6 and immediately rooted via ping pong. The problem I've got is that the phone downloaded the 5.11 update and then asked me if I wanted to install, which I obviously don't. I just used the back button to leave the update screen, but now I'm left with a notification saying "System Update - Update Postponed".
I had a system update on my brand new s6 and now it won't vibrate for notifications it works for the keyboard and when it turns on and off so the motor is good. And I went into setting and it's all on. But I just can't get it to work.
