Hello,
I'm receiving an app update through WP7 Marketplace to get an update for Samsung Diagnosis.
However, when I go to get the update from the Marketplace, it gives me the following message:
"Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone gotten this error yet?

Yep, same here. I also have a constant pending update for some Reversi program that's not actually on my phone because there's two in the marketplace with the same name. My guess in both instances is that Microsoft is still trying to get it right at their end since there's nothing I can do about either at my end. I'm not resetting my phone over this so I just ignore them.

Most likely. I agree that I will not be resetting my phone over this. How are you liking your Focus so far? Any issues?

I like it a lot and, after the usually painful transition, I haven't missed the iPhone 4 at all. I think this marketplace thing is probably the worse issue I've seen, which isn't bad, and it hasn't restarted by itself or anything since I bought it. In fact, I even have a Sandisk class 2 8GB card in it and it's worked without a hitch since taking it out of the box. I have about a week to return it but so far I've had no reason to do so.

Same here. My experiences have been the same as yours. But instead of going from iPhone 4, I went from iPhone 3GS. The only downside is there aren't must options when it comes to cases and such, but that's to be expected for a platform that hasn't taken off yet. The only problem I am having so far is getting used to the keyboard. Since it's weirder then the iPhone 4, I'm used to pressing the letters closer together and on the WP7, I tend to make more mistakes, but that's something I'll get used to.
uninstall the app
Uninstall the app then go back into diagnosis and it goes away

Has anyone noticed the SIZE of this update in Marketplace?
1900544MB!! Thats almost 2 Terabytes

LOL...guess that explains why it doesn't download. That's...let's see....8 times the monthly cap imposed by Comcast reidential. Good job, Microsoft!
Oh...I forgot to mention, that's one of three updates stuck in the marketplace for me now. It was Diagnosis and a Reversi app and now there's another Reversi app. This one actually downloaded and installed, then it never showed up in the list of installed apps and it shows up in the marketplace list every other time I start the app. "I assume Microsoft knows...." is starting to sound like a bad assumption. Guess I should call their teacher and ask that she keep them after class for their own good.

I was having the same issue until I realized I could slide my finger over the keyboard and release when the key I wanted was highlighted.
Did you know you can also hold your finger down for a moment, and you get a cursor, which you can then slide around to insert whereever you want, like the middle of a word. Makes editing easier.

I have been looking for that since 11/18. Knew it had to be there, but don't remember seeing it in the instructions...
.......aw, who am I kidding? I didn't read the instructions.
Awesome tip Man, Thanks!!!
I had used the ##634# to get into the Diagnosis menu. It now shows up as an App in my start menu. If I "Uninstall" it, will I lose access to it in the future? Will uninstalling it delete the application itself, or just the Start Menu Shortcut?
Is there another way to remove this shortcut without uninstalling?
Just removes shortcut

Uninstall just removes the icon, typing the code on the dial pad again brings the app/icon back.
Just tested on my own focus to confirm.
Anyone else having issues with their contacts? My contacts show up, however none have any phone numbers. I noticed this first after Dexters 1.2 update and am still having the issuew with the 1.3 update.
Anyone else?

I noticed that the Phone app is missing after upgrading to Mod 1.3. Could that be a part of this issue as well? Maybe it won't show numbers if there is no app seen to utilize them?

What rom were you originally running that had a phone app?
I think it's not so much that it is not displaying phone info for lack of phone app. I think it is just the contacts app itself. Someone might try using the contacts app from another device, it might work better.
Yeah, I don't think it's related to the phone app.
At any rate I think I'll be selling my A7 (both of them) as I'm out of a job now and could use the money more than the device. My g tablet will bet me buy for now.

After loading Dexters mod 1.1 I noticed the phone dialer was present. When I went to mod 1.3 it was gone. I really didn't see a purpose for it originally but I have seen some posts here about using apps to call with A7.
Would the dialer be necessary for that? I was looking in the market for a replacement. Is there another source?
Let me elaborate:
So earlier today I was messing around with Density Changer while going to Kingsville to see my brother. I was messing around with the DPI value, changing it from 480 to 420 and such. I changed it to 520 and, like normal, asked me to reboot. I rebooted.
The phone started up a lot longer than usual. I thought that this was just a simple glitch, but it took longer for a reason. The time and date on my lock screen wasn't working. Messaging, Contacts, Camera, Samsung keyboard, and the sort wasn't working. Worst of all, TouchWiz wasn't working either. In panic, I tried to open Density Changer from settings but couldn't. I reset my phone to the factory settings. It was rather quick to format (I didn't have much except for some PSP roms and gallery images). I was relieved for a bit, but when it booted it was still unfunctional, not to mention the keyboard still didn't work, so I had to skip a ton of steps. Since TouchWiz was still broken, I set the home screen to Easy Mode. When I looked around with Easy Mode, I realized that you can run apps there without it crashing. I felt so dumb. So now I can't log in to the Play Store to undo what I did, I don't have the app anymore, TouchWiz won't work, I don't even know if I can recieve messages, yada yada. I feel like I am so screwed.
TL;DR changed the DPI from 480 to 520, all hell went loose. did factory reset in panic, even more screw.
Does anyone know what I can do instead of sending it for repair? I don't think AT&T will be able to repair it anyways-- just to give me a new phone.
Try download the last official att rom and use odin. You can find it here in XDA forum. Good luck

I appreciate that you want to help! It means a lot. But before I attempt this, does this change absolutely EVERYTHING to default? I think the reason why my phone got so messed up was because the DPI was too high. :/
Do you know what firmware you're on? And if you have a custom recovery did you make a nandroid before you started messing around? If you did, like you should have, just restore that.

MAKE SURE YOUR NOT ON THE MF3 UPDATE. IF YOU ARE DO NOT ATTEMPT.
If your running MDL or lower, then download the MDL package and flash it with odin. It will indeed make everything stock.
MDL Package
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253756
Odin
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253763
1. Place phone in download mode
2. Hook to computer via USB
3. Open Odin
4. Click the PDA button and place the MDL file you just downloaded there.
5. Click start.
The process will take a few minutes, so don't panic. Let me know if that fixed it.
Shoot, man. I'm on the MF3 update. I have root though, will that help with fixing it?

Go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience booth and see if they will restore factory MF3 for you. Then, I suggest you don't do ANYTHING to your phone but use it for calls and stock abilities.

Yep, the more popular the phone, the more people that get a hold of it that shouldn't be doing anything with it except making calls. Laziness and ignorance will create a brick every time. The truly funny part is how quick they run here to make a post for people to fix their screw-ups, but they wouldn't come here to take a little time and effort to learn and read about what to do and how to do it in the first place.

Hey, now. I almost have it fixed. I just need the .apk file for Density Changer so I can install it, paste "480" into the box and reboot. Would someone be so kind to do it for me? This laptop is a school laptop which has Fortinet as an antivirus and a website restrictor. I would do it myself but my parents are considering taking me to AT&T ASAP when I go back home tomorrow.
But, yeah. I should have read on. I know that bigger values made the screen smaller, but I guess the S4 goes crazy when that happens.

You can try using a root level file explorer to navigate to /system, long press build.prop to open with a text editor, find the following line and change it to 480, then reboot. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer will do what you need.

Keyboard doesn't work. I was almost going to do that until I realized it. I'm just looking around for any DPI changing applications that allow it to any number (LCD Density Changer only allows it to 280).
I would set it to 280 if I could handle the small-ass icons. I can't, so I'm not gonna bother with that.

The default MF3, yeah. Fixed it with www-57.zip-pysha-re.co-m/v/78538033/file.html (remove those dashes). I went on Google Chrome and used voice recognition to get 460, pasted it in the DPI box, applied it. Everything's good now.

Well, it's really not about messing up. What is done is done. It's about learning from it and not doing it again. I can tell you are on the right path because you are trying to fix it. You screwed up... a lot of people screw up...what is important is not doing it again. Always read as much as you can about anything before you try it. It's just a phone and it is always replaceable but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by reading before doing. Like I said, i think you realize that. I'm sure you don't want to go through this type of trouble again to just get the phone working. What you did (change the dpi) isn't a big deal but it has big consequences. I was mostly referring to people that that try to "root", put custom recoveries on their phones, custom ROMs, etc. There is so much information about these things in the XDA forums it isn't funny, yet people think they don't need to read and learn about it or they think their time is too valuable. But as soon as they screw up (and they always do), all of the sudden, they find the time to come to XDA and beg for someone to fix their phone. As soon as someone points out that they should have read and learned in the first place, they get a smug attitude and act like people "owe" them a fix for their stupidity. Like I said, not necessarily your situation, but it happens all of the time regardless.
**Edit**
I'm am glad you fixed your phone and is is encouraging to see how much work and effort you put into fixing it. It would be nice if everyone put that kind of effort into fixing their phones. I have a feeling you will do just fine with modifying your phone.
I just got my first Note series phone. I was wondering if there is anything I should straight delete after turning on the phone for the first time.
Someone said delete the Tmobile app cause it can show you're rooted? I held down and moved it to Remove spot., but does that delete it from the phone?
If anyone knows of any others that would be much appreciated.

No, system apps can't be deleted unless you are rooted. They can be disabled tho, which will remove the icon from the App drawer.
What you did, was just remove the icon from the desktop.
Ahh. Ok, thanks for the response.
I think even though I disabled some of the apps. Some still show up in App drawer. Like Music. I disabled that cause I have 3 freakin different music players. Like why the hell do they do that?
Anyways it's still showing up on my App drawer.
Rooting is really tempting me. Even though this is my first Note and have no experience doing it.

You should try using a different Launcher. Such as Nova or Apex. They have the option of 'Hiding' the icon that you don't want shown in the app drawer. Maybe you should start with that since you are new rooting.
Oh i thought you needed to root to change the launcher. Thanks for that info.

You can completely change the look of your phone without rooting, but you won't be able to do a lot of the things people like to do.
Here is a link to a good article on various launchers: http://www.androidpit.com/what-is-the-best-android-launcher
I really enjoyed Buzz Launcher for a long time, but I'm using Smart Launcher now with Cover Lockscreen on top of it. Can't wait to get my Note 4 and make the big from my Note 2.
