I've never thought I would come back to here. - Nokia Lumia 900

Hi guys.
This may be a bit strange, someone in 2021 writing down a new post in this forum.
With an account that I lost, i wrote some things in here, back ago in 2012 when I had a Nokia Lumia 900.
I recently bought an almost new one in its box, for 15 Bucks in an outlet. I was looking for a cheap MP3 player, and this was a perfect opportunity, since it is almost brand new and it is far cheaper than even the cheapest mp3 player that I could find with a decent quality.
It is stuck on Windows Phone 7.5, and locked with Vodafone (Spain). Even if i couldnt find something, it will still be a really good mp3 player.
I was looking for some old roms, but all links are dead, even the unlocking software's link is broken. So I will kindly ask for all the files of custom roms or neccesary software that you guys may have lying somewhere in your computer.
If I can ask for something, it would be a way to update to Windows Phone 7.8 or even 8.1.In case i don't recieve an answer in some days, I will personally DM some custom rom post's OP.
Thank you so much,
Francisco.

I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard

Does this product work with Windows Mobile 6?
For you people who dont know what I'm talking abt
http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/
i really dont know...but im curious to use it...should be nice hehe
It looks uber fantastic. I just want to know if it works with WM6. Called up their tech support, got redirected to some chinese voice message.
I can try and let you know, if I can find its charger
I thought it used AAA batteries?
Regardless, try it! and please do let me know. It seems like a fantastic product, just wana make sure Artemis can be used with it.
Hi, I just tested it, it works very good, even better than in wm5 (I'm using BB4), unlike wm5 there is no drivers to install, and it works not only when typing but also in general to navigate thru the phone functions, like to scroll the contacts etc...
If they work...
Me and a friend of mine bought both these keyboards, Mine was DOA, The other one gave some light but did not work either. The shop stopped selling this product because of all the problems.
How long ago did you guy this?
I've read online reviews saying the models seemed to have been fixed. I really want a keyboard, and this looks cool, else my second option is trading Artemis for a Nokia E90.. Sigh.. Is going to Symbian worth it?

Anyone want to buy a Blueangel ?

Hi guys, i have 2 Blueangels, in fact orange M2000's.
Both work but the first one doesnt get a signal in the UK as it was blocked when i lost it.
The second one was the insurance replacement.
Both are good condition, by memory the newer one probly has WM6 or something installed on it, i think the older one has 2003 still. Cant remember. I can check.
I have 1 cradle between them, and 3 batteries.
I always planned on just holding on to them, but i never use them. I just cant find the time to keep up with all the individual forums for all my phones. I also have the following phones that i dont really use if anyone is interested
2 Blueangels (obviously)
1 Universal
2 Tytn
1 Trinity
1 Treo 750
1 Kaiser
1 I780
I am open to offers on all of these but the more recent ones i might not sell. Anyone wants any give me a shout.
Cheers
Rob
I'm from VietNam, How to buy ?
I will take in the usa. how much for shipping and phone ? are they unlocked? ill give 300
please email me at [email protected] if intrested.
Hi guys, thanks for the replies. The I780 and the Kaiser i may be holding on to for a bit. The others i will sell if people want them for the right money.
I would also prefer to sell the phones individually as well, sorry should have made that more clear. The blueangels could go together though as i only have one charger and such like.
Shipping abroad, hmm, that is a good question. I must confess i hadnt really thought this through. I could ship abroad but i would have thought by the time the shipping was added on then it might not be worth it.
Anyone want any of these as individual items ? especially the Blueangels, i may put some posts in the other device forums about the others as well.
I will look into shipping costs.

Disaster Recovery Help...Please.

Well, Karma is a b#$^2... and she finally presented me with my long overdue tab. My Dash took a direct hit and the screen completely shattered. Fortunately, for whatever reason... I chose yesterday to install sprite backup and run a daily routine. So here are some immediate questions:
1. Can I restore the sprite image to a brand new Dash
2. If so, will I have to unlock it first...
3. Will the radio, ROM updates and other firmware be part of the restored image.
Thanks for your help guys... and cheers.
If your screen is the only thing that broke then all your software should be intact. Just buy a new LCD (around $20-$35 depending on where/Who you buy from), put that bad boy in there and you should be good to go.
Edit:
If you don't have them, make sure to by one that comes with tools. A video tutorial on how to do it is easy enough to find, but if you can't post back here and me or someone else will post a link. Good Luck!
whoah...
where can I find both the screen and tools (at least reputably)
many thanks.

Ebay should have TONS of them for sale. Just try to make sure the seller is in the US if you are too. I do have some in stock but I try to keep the available for my walk ins. I get about 2-3 customers a day for broken Dash LCD's. I'll provide a nice ebay link for your though.

Thanks...
got it through ebay... though I wish I had been more patient (and used your link), I paid xtra for the t6 and case splitter

Supposedly use of the stereo jack aggravates the problem. I see this a lot in Europe and very little in the US. So far.

Yeah it would be helpful if you post saying you are having an issue if you would also say what version of the phone you have. US or UK or whatever else is out there.
Seems mostly like there are two hardware versions, but I could be wrong.
i am not buying this phone until I get more info on this problem. many people on the net have this problem.
less than a week of ownership and no issues so far

Honestly I only see the reboot on the non-US Motorola forum: three or four people in the UK. They are claiming it's related to loss of 3G?
i think it has something to do with specific SIM cards (3n or 5n). theres more info on the german forum of android-hilfe.de

Sorry for my n00bishness but what is the difference between an 3n and 5n sim card, also how do I tell which type I have?
Thanks
Broken earpiece here. Phone wasn't even a week old. Had used the headset a few times.
Now I have my second Defy and hope that it doesn't happen again.

Where are you? I'm hoping they'll replace mine as opposed to sending it off to get it repaired.
How long have you had the new one?
Less than a week and no issues as of yet. I have had two random reboots so far but both were when my battery was under ten percent. Only issue I've had this far is battery life but I think its in part to me running launcher pro and not rooting yet, and the fact I use my phone ALOT. Overall I'm happy though, so much so that I will pay full price for a second one for the wife!
I am in Germany. They wanted to send it in for repairs first but i had them exchange it on the spot. The second one is on it's first week now. Didn't play around with the headset but am calling myself every now and then to check if the earpiece still works
Must say it's a little worrying reading about this issue. I guess the advice ought to be to simply avoid using the headphones socket! Out of the question for some perhaps, but I would point out that bluetooth headphones/headsets are actually very affordable now. £20-£30 gets a fairly good pair of headphones, which will render this issue kinda harmless (if usage of the socket is indeed the culprit). Plus, who wants cables trailing out of their mobile phone anyway? Unless you absolutely need to use the onboard FM radio, you may as well just leave the 3.5mm socket alone, especially if there's a risk of breaking the earpiece speaker.
Despite this minor issue, I think the Defy is an awesome android phone, and highly recommended. Perhaps in the coming weeks Motorola will acknowledge this problem and sort it out completely - fixing the jack properly for future production, and maybe offering free bluetooth headphones to those who've bought a Defy with this weak socket/earpiece speaker issue (well it would only be fair, certainly cheaper than furnishing all early customers with new Defys... or would that seem to be a far-fetched dream? - help me out, I've no experience with Motorola's aftersales support! Lets hope they feel obliged to do the right thing for all of us who've decided to go for something a little different to the iphone/bberry/htc crowd)

I love the phone too, but we shouldn't have to work around problems like this. What's the point in having a jack if you can't use it?
Except I believe the radio (FM) will not work unless earphones are physically inserted because they act as antenna.

[Q] Xperia Play R800 SD Card Slot Module replacement

hello everyone
I have bought a used Xperia Play that has a defective SD card reader and i cant seem to get a hold of the seller. everything is working except for the sd card reader. when i opened it up, I found out that the module is broken. I looked on Ebay and found what I need, only to discover that the seller doesnt ship to Canada. Does anyone know somewhere else I can get this item from?
here is the link: ebay.com/itm/OEM-SONY-ERICSSON-XPERIA-PLAY-MICRO-SD-CARD-PORT-PARTS-FIX-R800-USA-/130590488389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67ccb745#ht_895wt_932[/url]
thanks
That link seems to give a "page not found" error
Think he means this link. I just copied the Sony part all the way to the end.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-SONY-ER...389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67ccb745
Yes thats the one im talking about. Unfortunately he doesnt ship to canada, and he is the only person i found who sells it. If anyone knows where to get one like this, PLEASE tell me/us where to get it.
thanks in advance
May not be a solution for you, but if you happen to have a friend in the US, you could have him receive it then send it to you.
did you try messaging the seller and asking him if you paid the full price for shipping if he would make an exception?
man i'm wishing i lived in the US right now lol. Is there some kind of OEM parts website that sells it? I dont want to send it back to Sony because I know they'll charge me a mind boggling price. also BTW, when i plug in my headphones no sound comes from them, but the sound keeps coming out of the speakers. does anyone know anything about that?
thanks for the help

I've got the same issue. Some dumba$$ duped me into trading a brand-new mint condition Blackberry 9810 for a VG condition Xperia Play - which at the time seemed like a perfect trade to me because I wanted an Android device... and the gaming aspect was intriguing. Little did I know that the SD card was fubar, and this guy didn't bother to tell me. So of course, I test everything except the card slot, and when I try to contact him again after the deal was made - he's vanished. His last reply to me? "Move on, sorry"...
I need to find a way to fix this, or find someone who can fix this (I'm not overly good with my hands, especially not on smaller parts).
Any help anyone can give me, or if the OP found a solution, and could post it here, that would be great.
I'm in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area (which I believe the OP was as well - what does that say about the quality of the people trading phones around here?)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The weird thing is that almost exactly the same thing happened to me, except that I paid cash. Anyways, after about two months of searching on the net, I managed to fix the phone up. I kept looking online for just the SD Card Reader itself, but couldnt find anything at all. So, I had to go hunting for a damaged xperia so I can use parts out of it. After a lot of searching on kijiji, ebay, etc, I found one with a broken screen on kijiji in Niagara Falls, so I contacted the seller and had him ship it to me (I got lucky on that lol), and paid him via paypal. Then, I swapped the motherboards between my phone and the broken one because the sd card reader is sort of soldered onto the motherboard, and I have very twitchy hands, so I decided not to mess with anything and just swap the whole thing. After that, I sold the broken one (which has my old broken motherboard in it) on Ebay for parts. Anyways, the point is to buy another xperia with a broken screen or something and swap motherboards, and for that you need alot of patience because you can barely find any parts for the xperia play on the net. Or, just deal with what happened and sell your phone on ebay as is for parts. Good luck
Lol I actually live in Ottawa but I bought the device while I was visiting some relatives in Toronto, says a lot about the quality of people selling phones in toronto.
one last thing, if you're going to buy a broken phone for parts, make sure its GSM , not CDMA.
I wanted to know if its easy to repair the sd card module on the xperia play the one i have is a at&t model 4g yeah the sd slot doesnt detect my micro sd i have a bunch of working micro sd cards thats why i was asking does it clip off or does it require soldering
