Yup, Zune killed my Optimus 7.

I've updated to the latest ROM, which is 8773,98 or something like that. I haven't testen the phone thoroughly yet.
Also, the phone is as good as stock. I've only installed usefull apps. There are no social networks linked with it and there are like 10 contacts on the phone. If the problem still exists, I'll try your router method, if that doesn't work I'll contact samsung.
By the way, I was googling the issue and found a dude who had the same problem with his Omnia 7. Samsung doesn't produce Omnia 7's anymore so they're mostly out of stock. They offered him a Galaxy SII, but he requested an Omnia W..
On another note I love this move. http://wmpoweruser.com/report-nokia...-have-their-logos-on-lumia-920-and-lumia-820/
I hate the AT&T branding on my 900.

has calmed down a bit.
I wonder if that's why the 920 won't be on Verizon and other carriers while the 820 is on everything.

Oh man.
Also, what the fuck is going on with the 920 and those carriers. It might be the most exciting phone on the market in the next few months, why are they not offering it? Is Nokia doing something stupid?
And here's some stuff on the Dolby headphone tech used in the new Nokias:

I will wait for this. Not really wanting to pay for the Lumia 920 off contract anyway.
Even if they do have their own phone in the works, it won't necessarily better than Nokias stuff. They don't have the same camera tech. They don't have the same location apps (like City Lense). And they don't have all the other Nokia exclusive apps either (and it woudn't be in MS' interest to have exclusive apps at all.

oh god. going by the sexiness of the surface, this could be a beautiful phone.

Nokia has better software on their phone.
Absolutely. It might be garbage.
As far as Nokia exclusive apps, it really doesn't matter to me. My fiancee has the 900 and City Lens is unreliable at best on that thing. And Bing has worked well for me as far as driving directions are concerned. We will definitely be making use of the offline maps for the Nokia Maps when we go to Paris next year, but I believe that will be baked into the OS at that point anyway.
Nokia hardware innovations (camera, screen, design, etc) would be more enticing to me than any one off applications they might develop.
That's true, but I am a sucker for MS hardware. At least some of it.
maybe it's their phone/xbox handheld thingy.
Wait, the do Hardware? I know the XBOX brand, but anything else?
They've done their fair share of PC peripherals (mice, keyboards, webcams, that sort of stuff). Then there were the awesome Zune players and the much less awesome Kin phones.
They do

edit: yeah, the Zune seemed pretty swell too.

I call BS. HTC already has the "official" Windows Phones, Microsoft releasing its own model wouldn't make a lick of sense.

When did this happen?

That's what one of them said. Also, the phones are called "Windows Phone 8X" and "Windows Phone 8S".
Well, the rumors suggest mid 2013. Six months on the market as a "signature" (whatever the hell that means) Windows Phone isn't bad.
My guess is, if this happens it will come along with a minor update that will add support for the next generation of SoCs which will typically hit in the spring. We'll probably see a new round of devices from everyone at that point, including the rumored HTC Zenith.
I think we can all agree that Microsoft isn't going to release a dual core S4 phone in June of next year.

Eh... don't like the "mocking the competition" ads.
I like this a bit more than the Samsung Apple attack ads.
At least it's stylish (or something), that's true. Moves a bit slow, though.

The reaction when he asked for a different color made me laugh.
That's what my colleagues behave like when I pull out my 800, so it's a pretty realistic behaviour.

It's funny, because the grey Lumia 920 is the best looking phone of the bunch.

but not because of color, but because of the matte finish
That's a really cool throwback to the Apple 1984 ad. I like it a lot. Dripping with irony.

at least they're more creative than just "oh look at those hipsters in line, lets whip out our phones and form a circle jerk around em."
Can't wait for more...color!
Amazing!Found this on the verge forums
I think it's incredibly clever tbh. If anyone hasn't seen it before for whatever reason, it is based on this:
