Hello,
I'm receiving an app update through WP7 Marketplace to get an update for Samsung Diagnosis.
However, when I go to get the update from the Marketplace, it gives me the following message:
"Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone gotten this error yet?

Yep, same here. I also have a constant pending update for some Reversi program that's not actually on my phone because there's two in the marketplace with the same name. My guess in both instances is that Microsoft is still trying to get it right at their end since there's nothing I can do about either at my end. I'm not resetting my phone over this so I just ignore them.

Most likely. I agree that I will not be resetting my phone over this. How are you liking your Focus so far? Any issues?

I like it a lot and, after the usually painful transition, I haven't missed the iPhone 4 at all. I think this marketplace thing is probably the worse issue I've seen, which isn't bad, and it hasn't restarted by itself or anything since I bought it. In fact, I even have a Sandisk class 2 8GB card in it and it's worked without a hitch since taking it out of the box. I have about a week to return it but so far I've had no reason to do so.

Same here. My experiences have been the same as yours. But instead of going from iPhone 4, I went from iPhone 3GS. The only downside is there aren't must options when it comes to cases and such, but that's to be expected for a platform that hasn't taken off yet. The only problem I am having so far is getting used to the keyboard. Since it's weirder then the iPhone 4, I'm used to pressing the letters closer together and on the WP7, I tend to make more mistakes, but that's something I'll get used to.
uninstall the app
Uninstall the app then go back into diagnosis and it goes away

LOL...guess that explains why it doesn't download. That's...let's see....8 times the monthly cap imposed by Comcast reidential. Good job, Microsoft!
Oh...I forgot to mention, that's one of three updates stuck in the marketplace for me now. It was Diagnosis and a Reversi app and now there's another Reversi app. This one actually downloaded and installed, then it never showed up in the list of installed apps and it shows up in the marketplace list every other time I start the app. "I assume Microsoft knows...." is starting to sound like a bad assumption. Guess I should call their teacher and ask that she keep them after class for their own good.

I was having the same issue until I realized I could slide my finger over the keyboard and release when the key I wanted was highlighted.
Did you know you can also hold your finger down for a moment, and you get a cursor, which you can then slide around to insert whereever you want, like the middle of a word. Makes editing easier.

I have been looking for that since 11/18. Knew it had to be there, but don't remember seeing it in the instructions...
.......aw, who am I kidding? I didn't read the instructions.
Awesome tip Man, Thanks!!!
I had used the ##634# to get into the Diagnosis menu. It now shows up as an App in my start menu. If I "Uninstall" it, will I lose access to it in the future? Will uninstalling it delete the application itself, or just the Start Menu Shortcut?
Is there another way to remove this shortcut without uninstalling?
Just removes shortcut

Uninstall just removes the icon, typing the code on the dial pad again brings the app/icon back.
Just tested on my own focus to confirm.
I don't have the app and I did these screens using a combo of home and back button. I'm more than positive those are the two to success.

Most people have come to the same consensus but no one (as far as I know) has been able to reproduce the screen shot feature effectively.
yeah, i accidentally took a screen shot somehow when i was running bionix v 1.2 (i think that was the rom i was on). no clue how i did it and couldn't do it again, but it was some key combo...
Any idea how to capture videos with at least 24 fps?

I'm fairly certain it's because of lag. On the international galaxy S with froyo, you press the home button (the big thing in the middle of the touch sensitive keys) and back. This happens because the home key is not a touch sensitive key. On the vibrant the keys are all touch sensitive. I believe that they are not multitouch so you cannot hit both the home and back at the same time. So I think that somehow the home command is hanging up and the back key is pressed so it simulates the action that is supposed to give the screen shot. I think that samsung recognized this flaw and redid the commands on the galaxy tab. My tab takes screenshots by pressing the power and back.

sounds likely because my phone was lagging when i did it, but wouldn't that just cause a race condition? or maybe i running an i9k based kernel (i can't remember).
Your theory is probably fact. There are people with some SGS phones that claim they can take screenshots consistently with back+home while others, myself included took a screenshot accidentally and have been unable to reproduce it since. I recall that I had just upgraded to froyo.ka6 via mini kies and was adding/rearranging shortcuts to one of my home screens. I hit the home key to get back to my main home screen and I got a screen shot. Haven't been able to do it again.
Since my Vibrant came with Eclair and was later upgraded to Froyo I believe that this was a feature that just wasn't meant for Vibrant or just was overlooked when Samsung ported Froyo to Vibrant. This feature probably works reliably on phones that come stock with Froyo, not those that are upgraded to Froyo. It's almost as if Samsung wasn't planning on Froyo for the Vibrant but due to the outcry here and possibly other forums Samsung hastily modified the base Froyo and released it via kies mini.
ScreenCapture service is there, just no documentation exists on how to trigger it for Vibrant.
There is apparently one developer who has figured how to trigger the ScreenCapture service:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/screen-...tomorrowkey.android.screencaptureshortcutfree
The only screen capture app that DOES NOT require root but requires Froyo..It even saves to the same directory as ScreenCapture service. I use the free version and it works better than drocap2 or screenshot it on my Vibrant.
App looks interesting, but I don't agree with some of the permissions it requests..... like location and full internet access.
Another vote for home+back key combo taking a screenshot, and that functionality being crippled due to the all touch-sensitive vibrant keys as opposed to the physical i9000 home key. I have taken a screenshot before, and it was going back home by hitting the home button, then the app lagging and me hitting the back button to try to get out of the app.

I don't agree with the permissions either but it's nothing nefarious. It's ad-supported freeware, and like most adware the internet access and location permissions is to deliver targeted ads to you, such as if you're in New York you will then see ads for places near you. That's what adware is all about, no corporation cares where you are at any given time, they just want your money. There is a higher chance of success that you will respond to an advertisement that is targeted to your interests (that's what tracking cookies are for, if you browse a lot of sports related sites, most of the ads you will see will be sports related.)
The paid version has no ads btw. I wonder how effective ads are since most people I know ignore them entirely.
Anyway, after trying drocap2 and screenshotit screencaptureshortcut is still better for froyo since no root access is require and unlike drocap2 there is no 'screenshot captured' pasted on your images.
So far the best screen capture imo is Android SDK but that requires a PC. Non-PC is screencaptureshortcut.
Anyway now that one developer has figured out how to trigger ScreenCapture service I'm sure we'll be seeing more and better apps soon.
Mysterious screen shot has been happening to me too, I thought I was the only one!
Was searching for an answer to my mystery and I see this old thread, seems like I'm not the only one!!!
Is the mystery solved yet? It's been happening to me too lately, and just happened again about 20 mins ago. I don't know how I did it!
Ok so, I don't have any screen shot or screen capture apps installed on my phone. Yet sometimes mysteriously I take a screen capture. The phone says "screen captured" and it even makes an album in my gallery called "ScreenCapture" with the screen captured picture inside it.
I'm on rooted Froyo 2.2 KB5, and no screen capture apps installed.
I think the mystery involves a combination of the power button with one of the capactive buttons, but I can never reproduce it, it just happens by accident and freaks me out.
The only other time my phone has done something mysterious was when I somehow went into "safemode." Yes, "safemode" similar to Windows safemode. I have never been able to get back into safemode either.
2 mysteries of this phone I would love to solve.

I just downloaded an app to take screenies.
Ok,
does anyone else notice that the Atrix touch screen location seems a bit off?
I really notice it during browsing the internet and it seems it needs calibration. I cant say how many times I have had to click back an redo my clicking action. It seems that when you click its not accurate...
Any one else notice?
Can it be recalibrated?

Yeah I've noticed this too. It's not too bad but it is moderately annoying.

Yep, same problem here but only happens in the browser. No problems typing at all but I always click a link and it seems to click a link or two above my intended selection. This problem was also even more prominent when I tried to use the firefox browser which seems to be the only browser that will allow me access to my schools website..sticking through it for now in hopes that a software update will fix it unless other users aren't having this problem, maybe just need to exchange this particular device.

After reading your post I agree with you. I mostly notice the problem with the browser. I do notice it slightly when typing but this could be do to me coming from an Iphone 4 with the keyboard being slightly different.
I dont know if you tried the browser Skyfire, but this was the only browser that I could make changes and save them when accessing the Google Voice settings from my phone. The standard browser, firefox, and even opera didnt display the full page so I was unable to actually save my changes.
Skyfire has its annoyances as well but its the best I found so far...
Thanks

Well Mine was annoying to type in landscape cause the spacebar was about 1mm higher then it looks. Felt like I was typing a "B" to hit the spacebar.
That was annoying but now, now I have the Nexus screen flip-out! Any time I type or touch the screen the thing flips out. It has a area that is seeing a perminate touch or something.. there is a app on the market that allows you to see where the touch points are. I'll have to down load it and then show someone at ATT to get it replaced... I'm irritated cause at this point I've got a lot of work in it and I cna't just make a nandroid and then restore on my next device..
Sorry about the double post, its not letting me edit my last.

If it is like the Nexus, no software won't fix it, or at least never did. They claimed they were "looking into it" BS for you'll replace it soon enough..
Is anyone else having the touch flip out issue? with multitouch visulizer or multitouch tool see what you get. I ran visulizer on mine and after about 2 min it had a perminate point on the top right corner, eventually it locked up to the point of not being able to use it.
Well hopefully there is a fix for it...I kind of put myself in a tight spot as I installed adeo rom prematurely and as far as I know there is no going back to stock yet. On top of that im pretty sure DG is done done with the atrix so unless someone picks up where he left off and I can getback to stock, ill have to live with the problem. Stupid me...

So it isn't my imagination, or my fat fingers. ONLY IN THE BROWSER. I'll touch something, and something a good 1/4" below it gets selected.
I'd say calibration also, but that doesn't explain why only in the browser. (I miss my Palm stylus!)
Are any of you facing this same problem?
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/362784#362784
Posted videos of the problem there.
I have clumsy fingers (essential tremor-inherited). Maybe I was a dummy getting a tablet.
But tapping on icons (like the Chrome icon) is frustrating. My finger is right on top of it. But I have to do it 3 or 4 times often.
My nexus 10 could be funky, but probably it is me. You don't double tap do you?
Sometimes I think my tap is too long or too short.
It might be you.
Check to see if the Nexus 10 is registering your "taps" as "drags" to move the homescreen.

A box? Does it say anything and can you get a screenshot of it?
Using the Dolphin Browser, you are supposed to swipe your finger left and right to get to bookmarks. Sometimes it works with hard swipes.
Sometimes not.
It is fully charged with the plastic off the front. I wonder if there is something wrong with the screen sensitivity.
Google Play determined it was a problem with the screen. Back it goes.

How does Google Play diagnose problems with your tablet? I've never heard of anything like this...?
I'm interested in that too.
There is also an option in the developers setting to see where the touch points are registering that you can check.

Surprisingly dissapointed with browsing speed.
Coming from an LG G2 which was insantaneous in loading pages, my note 4 lags chronically.
This is observed in every browser I've tried.
It should be noted that the pages which the Note 4 loads, have significantly more and larger advertisements.
Symptoms:
1. 2-5 seconds longer in loading pages when compared to the LG G2.
2. Momentary freeze when swipe to scroll.
3. Noticeable jump when scrolling - every time with each swipe.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or able to offer any insight towards resolving?
Your input would be greatly appreciated!

I think that the biggest problem is that most web pages are 75% ads, and 25% content that you want.
Web designers are lazy, and they just throw every single ad they can find on there, and they make a mess of things. It is really annoying when you just want to read something and have to go through 14 ads and commercials to read what you went there for.
I think that this is the modern day equivalent of the pop-up. Most have those blocked pretty well, so now all those annoying popups are just integrated into the page itself and it really bogs things down. And I think that in their greedy zeal to force these ads down our throats, they make them less effective because we just learn to tune them out and become numb to them...
If it was an ad or two on a page, I might see it and check it out. WHen it is 9 or 10 I get annoyed and just start flicking past them to get what I want, or I give up and try another page altogether...
It will help a lot if you get rid of the ads. I am using ABP to block all ads easily when in wifi. no need for root.
if you got root adaway is the way to go.

enter this in the chrome bar: chrome://flags
Then look for "Maximum tiles for interest area"
and change to 512. This allocates more ram.
You can play with the other settings there as well and reset incase things get effed up :good:

Alright this is the final solutions I have found. If it wont work for you then it's the end of the world...
Option one: 1) install samsung support
2) disable javascript and restart chrome
If you need javascript enabled keep it enabled and make sure samsung support is installed
1) enter chrome://flags
2) look for "Enable Experimental JavaScript" restart and reply here for feedback...
Also don't forget to enable the 512 hack as well
