Hi everybody!
I bought a Optimus One to replace my HTC Magic Vodafone..
Since I'm missing the Notification led, I was wondering if there was some way to replace it with a glowing effect on the physical buttons or something like that..
Basically I'm asking to someone more able than me to tweak the phone to look if it is feasable or not ;P
+1 on that. "noled" app does something similar by using the screen, but I think that using backlight of phone's phyisical buttons would be the best solution.
Maybe if someone with enough skill can write an app or something..

Will recieve my LGOO tomorrow, can't wait for it !
Call me crazy guys and i truely do miss an external led notification light ..even external flashing led physical keys ...welp heh this is why i had free time to get intouch with an app developer to code the api's and do a simple app to hopefully (cross fingers) get this to work on our devices.
Needs time and a guine pig phone to test i got in return..so guys if i cant get someone to port a hd2 like api to get it flashing. So if i cant get a thrashed body phone in ok condition i might need a donor phone in alright working conditon to get testing done plus coding.
Just another step in development. I just wanna help much as i can.

Hi,
Appreciate that i am new here but just want to vent / understand if any of these issues can be resolved with some patching or if (as i suspect) I am better off simply flushing this POS down the bog.
I have had a lumia 800 for exactly 48 hours and its driving me spastic.
my issues are as follows (no particular order)
1. Zune, wtf is this junk? why can i not simpy drag and drop my file where i farkin well want them? I will not be told that i HAVE to use Zune. Zune can suck my balls.
2. Why does mass storage not work? Even if i change the registry to allow it it only partially recognises the files, meaning all my mp3's end up as one giant album, thanks Nokia / Microsoft, you jizz monkeys.
3. Which genius decided to only include one volume? So i lesten to my giant album at a volume that does not make me black out and as a result my ringer is as loud as a sparrows fart. This really is the most retarded thing on a phone sinc about 2001
4. The sound quality, its just crap. Really crap. where is the bass, no really what have you dne with it mr nokia? is it a special thing that normal users cannot be trusted with?
5. No EQ? So not only have you robbed my of my aural pleasure as standard but you have emasculated me by removeing the only tool that could alleviate this pain.
6. Bing, bing can ram it as far as i am concerned, I don't like it, i don't want to use it, but not only is it set as a default, but one of my buttons is dedicated to it? WTF!! out of 6 buttons you have wired 16.5% of them into a function that only smelly old men in rain coats would use.
I could go on, but i just cant find the will. So sod off lumia 800, your going on ebay this weekend and i hope some chav uses your puny loudspeaker to try and play ndubz on the bus.
Anyone else feel this way or have any solutions?
Thanks for reading this rant, oh and Hi

Now to an extent I disagree, for two key reasons.
1. I can manage an i pod (the Mrs's) through winamp with no bother.
2. I expect that kind of bull**** from Apple, who make their products as difficult to customise as possible, windows is MEANT to run on mongrel hardware and support various uses while supporting programs and devices from other manufacturers. So this kind of strong arm move is in my eyes unacceptable.

I can appreciate that the OS is young, but come on, this is basic basic basic I can't think of a phone i have had that was capable of playing mp3's that did not have a separate volume for playback and ring.

Headphones and amplification, Not getting into some sort of "FI off" but i have tried it on Super Fi Pro 10 phones and into a hifi consisting of Cyrus twin mono's and B&W P6's and it sounds un utterably crap, next to a sony X series mp3 player its not even a bad joke, even next to my work blackberry is complete pish. Now i dont expect Esoteric levels of reproduction but i do expect it to have better reproducton than i would get with a set of 99p headphones placed in a coke can.

This is sadly the conclusion that i have reached, which is surprising as i have had a windows phone before all be it some years ago, and while that too was fairly crap in some respects I did use it for a few years without feeling the need to smash it into tiny bits and defecate on its remains.
Oh yeah, I forgot that iPhones can now be managed in different programs. It wasn't like that in the beginning.
I look at it like this. WP7 is new, yes. To keep it stable, it has to start out closed. I sincerely hope that it will open up over time.
I still gotta say that the sound from the Lumia 800 doesn't disappoint me. Honestly, I wasn't expecting greatness anyway. For that, I have a Walkman.
I really hope that these complaints you have will be addressed in the near future. I love WP7. That's why I became a late early adopter. I know a few who adopted really early, and aren't even techie people. They adopted when WP7 was so basic it barely did anything.
Good luck!!!
the way i see it, the drag and drop seems to work fine for me - i drag and drop music/videos/photos/podcasts onto the phone, i look in the music/videos/photos/podcasts bit of the phone, i see music/videos/photos/podcasts that i dragged onto the phone.
my beef with wp7 is the browser isn't particularly... good... but i just can't put my finger on exactly why...
About bing... On russian version of lumia there are yandex as default search provider and you have option in browser settings to choose defaults between bing and yandex. So I think there must be a way to customize search provider with interop unlock.
How are you editing the registry on your Lumia?

So you are saying you can use the Lumina as a mass storage? because my pc won't even recognize it. I must install stuff, and i never got any CD i think. maybe i should look into the box.

You don't edit the registry on the phone you edit the registry on the pc, you need to adjust the zune driver to enable legacy support, takes about 2 mins.
Even the iPhone had only one volume setting for everything until recently. It sounds like you want Android. Instead of being agitated by a new mobile system, just get an established one.
Yea it sounds like your lumia sucks! I'll buy it from you if you can ship to the US? There are countless droids out there that do everything you want per above, and they will no doubt keep you coming back to XDA to "vent."
So go with the Samsung Galaxy 2 or the N9 - I'm sure it will be all roses with those.
(Side note: if you want to see a limited OS on a phone, check out the N9 with Meego. It is mind-bending how limited that OS is. But at least you can drag and drop! Woooohoooo!)

I agree, I do wonder though why these, what i would call simple issues are not resolved pre release? I can only assume that its essentially the iphone effect where by is desn't really matter if a phone can do pretty simple things well, infact it can be a flaming turd rolled in glitter providing that it looks pretty and you can show if off in the pub.
If you want to make me an offer please do, i didn't get round to ebaying it this weekend as i was too busy being sicked on by my daughter
Its unlocked as standard as i am on the isle of man, happy to ship to outer mongolia provided i have the cash in my account before it leaves my sweaty palms.

I had an original iPhone, i got it a few months after it was released. It had separate volumes for music and ringtones back then. It was something that impressed me at the time which is why i remember.

Just my 2 cents on the issue:
1. I don't have issues so I'm curious to see what yours is. I also have zune pass and its one of the best subscription services I've every used. Love it and love the zune layout (though I have had an HD forever so I'm used to it).
2. See #1
3. That is strange; I've never noticed it. Are you listening with headphones? It doesn't make an audible ring if you have headphones in. Plus I would never ever listen to music straight out of any device; phone, mp3, or otherwise. Sometimes I listen to talk radio on the speaker but quality doesn't matter as much there.
4. Either use headphones or see #3
5. I'm pretty sure I've seen a music app that has eq. Do a search on wpcentral for one. I have an HTC Arrive and HTC has put an eq on it so Nokia must have dropped the ball.
6. I used to totally agree with you there. I hated bing at first. Now with adding local scout (must have!) I find myself using it all the time and loving. Plus I noticed google sucking lately and read this article (gizmo.do/xhiUe1) which helped change my mind for bing for sure.
Plus the Lumia 800 is so pretty and WP7 so slick that I wouldn't care about most of the things you have stated above. I use skydrive for all my file sharing so don't need my phone to be a usb stick.

The search button is an easy fix, Under
[[[settings>Region+language>Browse and Search Language]]],
set it to something other than USA. I have it set to my country, trinidad and tobago, and the search button defaults to google

Well, I don't know if that is true, but unfortunately it is still stuck in bing for Portugal and UK.
Any details on this would be good. Is it going to be similar to g nexus notification led which has to be the best, you can choise different colours etc?
Says RGB LED notification which suggests to me it can produce almost any colour.
That's brilliant, its a small feature but essential inmho. Not much info about this feature so thanks for sharing this.
I have found it kinda surprising that no on has touched on the led notifacations in reviews yet. The question in my mind isn't just is it an umlimited color palatte but also does it work before you pickup the handset? On the N1 you could see across the room that you had an email, text, etc. and this is what I'm hoping for with this phone. It has little point if you have to pick up the phone to light the led.

I didn't know some phones worked like that? I mean that you have to pick the phone up in order for the LED to light up... Which phones work like that? That sounds like a really dumb thing for a phone to do! The point of a notification LED is after all that you should be able to see the notifications without having to pick the phone up to check it, no?
I'm hoping it's like the Blackberrys. I miss BerryBuzz, had the option to set multiple colours to multiple events.
If its anything like nexus galaxy I will happy. Mind you had to root device only then was able to use the different colours.

I agree! Hopefully they would be more inclined to port BeBuzz over to Android once this device is out.

Haters gonna hate. Thats the only way to look at it. Its a cool piece of hardware but theres haters for everything. Hell you tell people the battery will last 2-3 days and they scream bloody murder, "oh it sucks, thats horrible!". Then you tell them the Apple iWatch battery will only last 8 hours and they are all like " oh well thats probably ok" (I dont actually know what the iWatch battery is like). I did just go on a little rant here. It should give you some insight into why people talk bad about it.

I just got mine yesterday and so far I like it. I had the original Gear 1 and a Moto 360. I will say that the Moto 360 seemed to work better with Google stuff such as Hangouts, but it was far more limited as a device compared to the Gear S. I loaded the Gear Notification Extender, and now I can reply to both Gmail and Hangouts using the Gear S, very nice!
I do like the option of using something like the Opera Mini Browser to view Gmail and such. And I can't wait to try it out this spring while cycling, it would be nice to leave my phone at home or in the car when riding my bike.
Hope this helps.
its a fantastic piece of kit
to be fair i've struggled with it a bit understanding the settings and permutations but the functionality seems to be improving day by day.
the choice of useful apps isn't massive but that hasn't been a problem for me personally,
I'm not a great fan of the interface on my related S4 smartphone but i can live with that
the liberation of just having the watch (ok with your compatible samsung plugged in or turned on somewhere else) is the main attraction for me
i dont understand the haters especially those deriding the battery life, the appearance (it looks great on your wrist in real life), the concept ( i don't think i need one why would anybody else?) or the need to have a samsung phone to go with it ( I'm not charmed by that either that but Samsung are no worse than others in that regard and there are I guess technical reasons why it has to pair with something short of being a brick on your wrist) at least with the Gear S that pairing can be at a distance or indeed you can just use it as a phone on its own
some people have posted here and on android central that they have returned the watch but most actual users who see the use case for them, have checked out the limitations, have persevered or been patient with some of the glitches and understand why its the best in its class
i see your a "senior member" so apologies for showing granny how to suck eggs - apart from that buy it - or hang on a little longer to see if there really is a Gear S 2 coming soon!

It should take some time to update, still talking to asus though on the bootloader for the 5.7, still awaiting that answer. However yay finally.

Only real difference I've found so far is the always on backlight and the allways on screen, though if you have a case that turns screen on/off it kills that function...
Haven't made any calls so can't comment on that.
The update is around 200mb... It's not Android 7...

It would have been nice if there was also an always off for the backlight. I guess they skipped my request I can't imagine someone would want the backlight keys on all the time. To each their own I guess. They said there were camera improvements, but I haven't tested that out yet.

The Always On back light for the keys for me is quite useful when operating the phone in the dark. It it the same as a computer keyboard with back light. I'm glad they added this feature, otherwise it's as good as not having any back light at all for the keys.
I also see a definite improvement in the audio quality. Earlier while playing tracks with silence, there was a slight hissing sound (using audiophile headphones) and I had reported this to Asus. I checked this now with a few tracks and it seems like this is fixed. I hear absolutely no hissing and the audio is crisp and clear even at high volumes. !

That's interesting. At night is when the backlight annoys me. I'd prefer they don't ligh up. Glad they made someone happy though. I'll still wait and hope for an always off feature.

Definitely put in your requests through email and at the zentalk forum. Could be coincidence, but I almost feel like the 'always on backlit' was done at a specific person's request (seen here) because it was early on and they were so vocal on the forum for this issue. Also the forum's audience isn't that big - so more of a chance to be heard.

Thanks for the idea. I signed in, but unfortunately it won't let me post to that board. I wonder why?
