btw ATT users rejoice (update 19 April)
http://www.winrumors.com/exclusive-att-windows-phone-7-nodo-update-due-april-19
Wonder what the ATT special Features are... probably another free trial of their useless services.
yeah, it looks like they haven't heard any of us who bypassed them complaining of any problems, so they figure the beta test is complete.
I wonder if AT&T is also going to push the Samsung specific update that has been showing up on other networks.
Wondering same thing. Will we get a notification to update if we used the VPN method to update. (not the chevron)

I wouldn't be surprised if you did. I guess we wait 3 days and see. I like what I've seen of NoDo. Now onto great anticipation of MANGO! (Or most likely an in between update termed Pre-Mango)
Wish our debranded focus also get the firmware update... That's all.
No thanks to the AT&T features...

Can't this «features» contain an updated Audience noise suppression chip driver?
Not worth the wait (and sooo glad I did the VPN hack update)
Apparently the ATT exclusive *features* they are adding is a WISPr protocol that switches you to login into att wifi hotspots automatically when near one. To save you (and them) data bandwidth.
The other feature is to allow you to sync your contacts with your att address book. Even lamer.
So yes ATT made you wait this long for nothing.
Lesson learned. Always rely on the fans and community for support, not the ones you have a contract with.

Agreed. I could care less if I get a notification now or not.

I hope no one here is expecting any kind of miracle with this update. I have seen nodo on other platforms and honestly, other than cut & paste I dont see the difference.

bluetooth driver update?
I had done the unbranding then got the NODO usiong the VPN method. I am on ATT. I just plugged my phon einto Zune and it shows a Samsung update is available. I am updating now. I am guessing it showed my phone was already on NODO then went on to the Samsung.
only had my DVP for a day and its my first windows phone.....
i have subscribed to the zune service paying each month for the service...i thought this would give me the eqivilant to spotify that i had on my android device However, when i click on albums to either stream or download (from the handset) it asks me if i want to buy...i thought i was paying a subscription for free unlimited streaming or download same as spotify.
can anyone advise me please
also is it possible to get spotify on my phone
thanks
I think you have to tap and hold on the album/song to get a download option, here's a video: http://www.wpcentral.com/how-get-zune-pass-work-on-the-go-windows-phone-7.
As for Spotify, that was announced as coming with Mango but not sure which countries.
When I hold the only option I get is to buy the item. Seems odd considering I am paying for it.

That sounds like your zune pass subscription is not active. Are you logged in with the email associated with your Zune pass?

When you setup your phone, the login must be the same one used for Zune. Not the second or third...the first.
If you have done it any other way you must hard reset and start over.
If the phone login is the same as your Zune login and it does not work, call Zune support to help you.

thanks for your help
the problem was that i had signed into zune on my phone with a different account to the one on my computer.
very annoying though that the only way to resolve it was to completley format the phone and start over again....lucky i guess that i have only had it a few days.
thanks to all of you who had helped me to sort it though.
i am sure there maybe a few other questions i need help with also..

Annoying? This is the way it has been since day one. Its mentioned in the startup guide. Efjay pointed you to the video. All the MS documents online point to this. All the Zune docs point to this. For problems of this nature, how to's, keep WindowsPhone.com in mind. Phone setup, configurations snd how to documentation is great. XDA is great for the more difficult problems.
Sorry for raising a thread on what was clearly quite 'simple' issue to some...it was annoying the gell out of me! I pay as a 'premium' user on here and wanted to make use of all the great knowledge on here rather than trawl the internet or spend hours on the phone. I will however come up with a more challenging problem fir you next time=P
Thanks anyway

Don't be like that. Annoying and Challenging are 2 different things. XDA is a great source of issues, resolutions, work arounds, and challenging problems. On XDA you will find great ideas, fun experiences, and, a sound kick in the butt if you don't do your research before posting a problem. If you search and do NOT find what you're looking for, there are dozens of people ready to help. But....if you do not do the search before posting....there are dozens of people ready to remind you of that before they help.
Thats just the way it is...and it makes no difference if you're a premium user, or just a bum like me. The same rule applies for us all.
How MS, or any other company, designs their solutions, is always open to debate. Annoying and irritating simply cloud the issue. Android and Apple require a login on their phone for their services. If you do not use the same or correct login, you will not get your apps restored, or access to many of the histories saved with those services....to include backup and restore, and Music. Thats just the way it is. XDA premium users have little influence on those design methods.
Sorry if I offended you with my reply. That was not my intent. Reminding you that a little research would have allowed you to find the answer, and see that the resolution was not clouded, hidden, or designed to cost you a premium subscription to XDA, was my only point. If you're annoyed at the way things are...I'm afraid there is not a reasonable resolution available on these forums.
BTW..how does one become a premium subscriber to XDA?
your response seemed a little 'sharp' and in my opinion was not really necessary...i received good advice on here, it solved my problem, and i thanked those concerned.
By 'premium' i mean i pay for the app to support the cause and not just use the free downloaded one
Anyways moving on....
Point made.

One more thing you have to have an app to deploy xap.

I also bought a token from Chevron labs, a couple days ago, unlocked the phone, was able to deploy XAP files, but only for 2 first uploads, then it re-locked for good, and since then cannot unlock it with chevron labs method anymore (connection issue, phone is ignoring us and crap like that). They are having a huge issue with their unlocker and shouldnt be selling anything, untill they fix it for good. Thankfully managed to unlock my Focus with different way.
i wanna cry
pay a lot and cry for basic features
I'm asking those guys for a refund. Thankfully it was only 9$, but still...
i live in turkey.
My friend brought this phone from USA. I paid $ 750.
The phone is very nice. but the most basic features of each phone, which does not exist.

Your in the wrong forum , you need to look in :http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606
You'll have to search alot ,but there is a 3g toggle switch theres filemanagers ,regedit ,etc , my guess is your phone isnt interop unlocked , that could be why the chevron labs thing isnt working very well , not sure if you can go back to nodo , if you can do that first and get interop unlocked , if not your gonna have to figure out how to use one of the roms out there!
Looks like Windows 8 expires next year on 1/15. Any way to disable that function so that it doesn't lock down my computer?
Why?
I any case, there'll be a public beta released in the next few months I'd say anyway.
moved to general - not development
I'm not sure you can. Also, it technically isn't deactivated, but rather nuetered. It doesn't get updates, force shut downs every 2 hours, you can't access free MS software, ect. Basically, it drives you mad until you go so insane you get forced into upgrading.

no one said anything about software piracy. Also, one can only illegally use windows IF they use an illegal key. Disabling/enabling windows activation files for development / testing purposes, is not so long as they dont use any product key at all. Plus, there are built in commands to extend the activation period for a set amount of times and can be reset 3 times.

using a product outside of its original intended use, hacked or stolen, is still piracy, you are using something that you have not paid for, whether or not there are exploits to get around that is irrelevant. Dude, it costs next to nothing to buy it so just buy it an feel good that your supporting developers rather than trying to rip them off
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Oh, "outside original intended use" is pretty much what hacking is all about. Mind you, that's usually a matter of adding functionality, not of bypassing license restrictions (which is exactly what the OP is asking for, and is, by all intents and purposes, piracy).
Just buy the damn OS for $40 US and use the release version instead of the buggy pre-release. I believe you can even install it over the existing pre-release and keep your files, if backing up is too much trouble. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...dows_8_Pro?WT.mc_id=MSCOM_HP_nav_BuyWSoftware

my point exactly. I've now updated about half a dozen devices, its so stupidly cheap it would be madness not doing it, any vista era laptop is BETTER than new with it, the age old "excuses" for piracy just don't hold any water at this price point.

Well I never saw that part... Lol. However, I do make a valid point. Microsoft sells software, sure, but it's the keys they actually care about. I actually already disabled the activation utilities in windows 8 pro last night because it came up on a fresh install and crashed my computer. Another valid reason to remove it. I was in middle of watching something and the new activation came up in a metro ui windows and refused to close. Next thing I know, a BSOD came up with a video crash error. Since windows is so cheap, I do plan to buy the pro upgrade, just not right this minute.

while you plan to buy it, what your doing now is still piracy and still frowned apon. the easiest and most effective way to cure activation related crashes is to........actually activate it
Using the already included activation tools that are built in to windows to temporarily disable a buggy subsystem is not piracy. By right, I am given 30 days of free usage on any copy of windows when absent of a product key. I am part of the tech net and msdn and know all about windows, and all of its components, subsystems, and legalities. Trust me when I say that disabling activation during the first 30 days is not by any means even partially shady. Just. E wary after

everybody's on tech net huh!
kinda makes you wonder what your doing messing about with not activating it...
yes you have 30 days to eval it, but heres the thing, since you haven't paid for it, and you have access to technet, I assume that's where you got your copy of it? what I fail to understand then is why you haven't activated it with the key you generated from them...
unless you didn't get it from TechNet , you cant download it without buying it first, unless you got it through alternative channels, but then why would you when you have access to TechNet and not use it....
many questions...
Problem... solved? Maybe? Haha.

Well, I just simply do not have a premium subscription that would allow me access to said keys. I just get copies of things for free for evaluation only. i will be upgrading my TechNet license to premium before too long once i get some more money. The other reason is for testing. i know windows 8 is great, but i want to run a semi-long term test to make sure that windows can hold up to all that i need and do every day. Hence the 30 day evaluation. On average, my computers have about 280GB of nothing but just programs for development (website, source, etc...) and programs for places such as this for building ROMs, and that takes A LOT of space already.
So basically, i disabled the activation out of pure annoyance, and it doesn't need to be activated when merely evaluating the Install. Second, if that is what happens every time it comes up, then i will definitely figure out a way to keep using the older Consumer Preview that just expired on monday, or settle for windows 7 again. Man I had EVERYTHING set up on it. Good for computer repair, ROM building, building custom Windows OS copies for licensed redistribution, etc... You name it, i had it... lol.
I got windows 8 for my desktop and was planning to install it on my laptop too , but to my surprise you can only activate it on one computer do I need to pay the full 70 euros AGAIN just to have it on my second computer ?? Extra 20 euros i could pay , but full retail? I'm even using the same outlook account for effs sake ! :/
A Windows 8 license is per computer, not per user. You'll need to purchase a full retail copy to use it.
As a side note, this has been true of every version of Windows I can remember. Prior to XP, they didn't require activation and could therefore be used on multiple machines, but it was against the license to do so unless it was removed from the other computers first.
Believe me, those older Windows versions cost a lot more than 70 Euros, too.

Umm.. Windows has -always- been licensed that way, since version 1.0... If you've been using it differently, you pirated it!
Only one way to find out, try installing with the same key and see what happens. And keep us posted while your at it
