Posted March 31st 2011 by in archive

Simple Method To Force The NoDo UpdateIf you’ve received the “pre-NoDo” February update but are still waiting for the more exciting “NoDo” March one like many of us in the UK then you’re in luck. Fortunately Noticed, from XDA has found a great way to trick your phone into updating. In no way is this the first method we’ve come across, but it’s certainly the simplest and is available to anyone as no developer account or hacking is required.

The only problem is it requires is a little timing, you may end up having to try a couple of times to get it right. Needless to say, for any phone listed on Microsoft’s where’s my phone update page as “delivering update” the following should work:

The NoDo Update Finally Arrives... Well Almost Anyway!

The first proper update for Windows Phone (NoDo) is finally here! Well almost anyway, Microsoft say that they’re releasing it on a staggered schedule, many people have already reported receiving the update, although it seems like most have unbranded handsets.

Its seem like those of us with branded phones (anyone who got the phone for free or subsidised with a contract) may have to wait a little longer. For example, according to WPCentral Telus have announced that they won’t be rolling out the update until the 29th. I certainly haven’t received it for my HTC 7 Mozart on Orange (UK).

Windows Phone 7 Hacked To Enable Instant Resuming

Posted March 19th 2011 by in archive

Jaxbot from Windows Phone hacker has come across a cool hack for the Windows Phone 7 code that enables instant resuming for application. This seems to completely remove the “Resuming…” screen when you go back to an applications. It doesn’t sound like it’s exactly consumer friendly and apparently causes un-specified side effects, but it seems to work really well in the video.

I can’t say I’m brave enough to try this out but hopefully this is the kind of update we can expect to see from Microsoft in the future. Check out the video after the break.

Remove Songs From Windows Phone Marketplace Results

Remove Songs From Windows Phone Marketplace Results
As I’m sure you’re aware, one of the more annoying things about Windows Phone 7 is the marketplace’s propensity to fill your search results with a load of seemingly unrelated songs when you’re looking for an application (and vice versa to a smaller extent). The problem is set to be fixed in the NoDo update (assuming Microsoft every manage to get it out of the door), but I’ve just discovered a technique that should tide you over in the meantime.

Simply adding “application” on the end of your search refines it to only include applications (yes that’s right, it’ll actual return what you were looking for!), the same goes for “artist” and “album”. Easy once you know how isn’t it… I’m just annoyed its taken me this long to discover, I could have saved myself plenty of frustration!

Hope this helps, let me know what you think in the comments below.
