Re: Zune HD Screen Flicker

Travm84 — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 20:27:41 -0000

I bought a Zune HD in Dec 2010 and noticed the flickering while the wi-fi was turned on. And, like others, only noticed it more on light backgrounds like the Facebook app or white web pages. I also noticed it on the background artwork while surfacing the Marketplace (obviously wi-fi) has to be on for that. I took mine to the new Microsoft Store here in Scottsdale. The tech saw the flickering too and said it was a screen issue. They took it and shipped me a brand new one (as the color/engraving I wanted wasn't in stock). Sadly, the new one also flickers. What's weird is that my roommates's Zune HD 32 doesn't flicker at all, with wi-fi on or not. I think it's just something we'll have to live with.

Re: Xbox Live games now on Zune

Jef — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:29:24 -0000

I think the allure of real Xbox games on a mobile device is the integration aspect. So far Xbox games on Windows Phone 7 have been more flash than substance yet. No Multi-player, no direct integration to existing Xbox games ,etc.

I personally think Xbox Live and Zune should be a service across platforms, but I doubt we will ever see that.

KC,

It looks like there are some inter-carrier issues with the iPhone. I updated the blog post with the information I found.

I just grabbed my ATT iPhone 3gs last night and charged it (it sits in a drawer usually). I see what you mean, I can't receive SMS' with Emoji on it when sent from a Verizon phone. I'll do some research.

I see people have been able to successfully send to iPhones. If you switch the encoding of Emoji from Iphone/Softbank to Handcent the text code is sent, but in iPhone mode I have not been lucky

Have Emoji (Japanese keyboard) enabled on iPhone and have the emoji plugin on the Droid and set to iphone/softbank yet when sending text messages they do not appear on the other phone. Can't seem to figure out why... any ideas?

Wish I still had it to send you... I put the new nebula rom on my phone and kinda wiped it out :( I did try your steps again with the certs file and not doing the chmod or anything-- damn thing still won't trust it :/ I'm going to put in a rom request to have the new CAs integrated... or just wait until 2.3 :) Thanks for your help!

Re: Updated GeoTrust RootCA certificate for the Droid2 Android phone

I didn't use CHMOD at all, as I literally just copied the file from my SDcard to the System\etc\security location via the Edit menu options.

1 - Enabled RW on System
2 - Navigated to SDcard location of file and long pressed and used Copy option from Edit menu
3 - Navigated to System location and long pressed and used Paste from Edit Menu
4 - Enabled RO on System
5 - Rebooted Phone
6 - Citrix worked again.

Want to email me your original file? Since mine was 60.82 and yours is large maybe there is a difference? I can add the Geotrust cert to that one.

I'm only using the plain receiver, I saw the one for the labs, but I didn't download it.

I did all of this from the terminal (as SU) from SUFBS. I did a chmod 777 for the original file, copied it elsewhere, made sure it was there, then rm'ed the copy from etc\security. Then I copied the file from the SD card into the etc\security folder and set the chmod back to 644 (I think it was?). Rebooted the phone from the command line... also powered the phone off and booted it back up after the first shot didn't take.

As for the case, I think it's all lowercase. The file size that's in the security folder is 60.82k (same as the file on the sd card) and the original is 64.14k

Also I assume when you said "Receiver" you meant the Citrix Receiver? Did you try both versions on the marketplace? There is the regular one called "Citrix" and the other called "Citrix Labs". Both work for me however.

Jef — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 16:31:59 -0000

Did you remove the original cacerts,bks or just rename it to another file ending in bks? Be sure the capitalization is correct?

I recently flashed the 3.0.0 release and all I had to do was the steps above. I used the SUFBS file manager to set the system to RW, copy the new file overwriting the existing, set it to RO and rebooted.

I had the same probelm when I updated my Access Gateway certs-- but after following the directions and confirming the file size of the current \system\etc\security\cacerts.bks file, I'm still getting SSL/TLS error "You have chosen not to trust GeoTrust SSL CA" bla bla... I told the receiver to trust it and rebooted the phone a second time. Any ideas?

In Windows Vista, wab.exe directs you to Windows Contacts, which does appear to have the ability to search external directories.

Khan,

I went back and found all the new Oracle links to the posts since they purchased Java. All the previous links should now work.

Thanks for letting me know so that I could fix it.

Re: Share your Zune Pass-not your Social

This is so right on! I'm about to stop paying for ZunePass because of this. They think it's only about the kids but just wait and see how Windows Phone 7 changes all of that (lots of parents will have WP7 devices that are now Zunes).
