Got a new computer and Im having trouble getting my ADb setup. When I try to run adb devices I get

adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have adb setup on C, JDK is installed. Downloaded drives from htc sync, but did not install htc sync. Under Device Manager, the phone is listed as

-Android USB Devices

-My HTC. the monitor has a lilttle yellow triangle with an !. I tried to update the drives, but it says I have the most recent installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edit.....need to use the platform-tools folder, not tools.

I have tried to run ADB on my Inc, Nook Color and now the TBolt.

I just cant get it to work.:confused:

It would be easy to just say I am a dope, but I have had a highly successful run with the Inc. I have flashed/installed/performed/restored every worthwhile mod available for the INC and Nook with no trouble. I just cant get ADB to run.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
It sounds to me like your problem is that the adb executable is not in your path and you're not trying to run it from within the directory it is installed in, as indicated by your saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

In your terminal window, try using the cd command to switch to whatever folder the adb.exe file is in, and then try running the command. You don't even need the phone hooked up to test at first...just type adb devices or something to see if the app runs or not. On my Mac, if I just type adb at the command line, adb responds with a list of all available commands.

Do a dir command (Win) or ls (Mac/Linux) to confirm the file is in the same directory you are.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russ36363:
Yea, the error is the one you get when you use a windows command thats not in the path. So do this, or add it to your path environment variable
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmiller98:
Thanks to all who answered. That is why this community is the best. The older version of adb just had tools folder, while the new version has platform tools that needs to be used. Again thanks.

[Thunderbolt General] cgrywalski:
I've noticed recently, especially with the release of LTE and their SIM card that some people may have difficulty finding the option to delete their SIM card or groups of people.

So if you need to delete say, all of your phone contacts seperate from your sim contacts, or seperate from your google contacts, and visa versa do this:

Steps (this applies to HTC devices):

1. Open "People" application

2. Tap "Menu" button

3. Select "View"

4. Now check the contact list or lists you want to remove from, for example SIM card

5. Hit "Done" (now make sure those are the contacts you want to remove)

6. Tap "Menu" button

7. Select "delete" and then check the contacts you want to remove, or continue with steps to remove all...

8a. Close the keyboard

8b. Tap "Menu" button again

9. Now select, select all or deselect all

10. Now "Delete"

11. No more duplicates, hopefully!

Just remeber to go back to:

People app > Menu > View > and recheck your contact books that you wish to view in the People app.

Tweet if you like it! Enjoy.

Hello! I have bought from a person a P3600 and it seems that the keypad under display don't work, if I try to do a hard reset the keys work fine, but after that don't. I don't think that's a hardware problem. Is anyone who can help me with this?
[General Questions and Answers] bwoellerette:
I am new to Androids and last week I purchased the LG Optimus MS690. Love the phone, but the pre-installed apps are killing my battery. With a full charge it only runs, with very little use, for 5 hours before the battery dies.

I have downloaded task killer, but some things will not shut off. After many phone calls it seems the only thing left to do is root the phone. I've seen many forums talking about this and what can be safely removed but, after 6 hours of searching, I haven't found out HOW to do it.

Does anyone have the same phone that they have rooted?

I don't want to go all crazy and take off a gaggle of things. I want to remove:

Boingo WiFi

Mocospace

SNS

Think Free Office

Loopt

UNO

These apps are running in the background no matter what I do. Even the service provider can't get them to turn off.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am able to receive e-mail messages or just reply to the thread. Thanks!

How to root LG M (MS690)

Hello,

[Defy Android Development] maltloaf:
I'm currently on the leaked 2.2 and have spent an age getting everything just how I like it, however Blur really does my head in. I change sims fairly regularly and resent being forced into signing into a service every time that I don't even use !

My question is this. Can I flash a deblurred rom (which one?) and restore from a nandroid or titanium backup (again, which one?) to get everything back to how I like it ?

Or is there a method of removing blur from a blurred rom, without breaking anything ?

many thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy_user:
Im hesitant about rooting my phone or not. If I root my phone, I think the bad guys could stole my information or do bad things to my device.

Or maybe when some app for example root explorer needs admin rights android will ask for them (like windows 7)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Rooting a phone gives you 'administrative' rights similar to on a PC, it gives you more control over the phone and allows access to system files which would usually be hidden if you was not rooted.

Rooting is easy and is reversible. it is not dangerous and quite a lot of apps require root access.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
The "good" bad guys can do it regardless what you do

Yes you will be prompted by the superuser app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy_user:
Thanks. But if you are not root when you buy sgs, why can you install new apps that if im correct go to the data folder (root required)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
When you first buy your phone you CAN'T install Apps that require root access... you need to root your phone first.

Most Apps don't require root as they aren't installed in the Ram but on the internal SD card. This is the same Ram vs flash memory arrangement that has been used with mobile devices since the Palm Pilot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PAGOT:
You CAN install Apps that require root access they just wont run as you want them too :)

I am not sure I understand this or its right or wrong. Am just confused about this :)

However to the OP question. Installing from the market/app isn't the same as you copying the file yourself. So your question is pointless. If a process/app/mechanism already has access to it, like the market what is has to do with you not being rooted in the beginning?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desotho:
The bad guys that came with the rooting of my phone, made my phone 10 times faster and smoother..

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mac227:
Are these types of apps worth having on your phone? Like is there even a moderate chance you could get a virus (especially if you dont do lots of downloading)? I currently have the AVG free app and I find it kind of annoying having it scan everything I download and having it say protected by AVG on my screen, etc.

I have never heard of anyone getting a virus on their smartphone so I', leaning towards removing the AVG app. Would this be a mistake?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
The only malware that are on Android affects Android versions < 2.3.3. You're fine.

As long as you're getting trustworthy apps on the market with a lot of downloads and not from a 3rd-party unauthorized website/app market/whatever. You're fine.

I personally use Lookout for the GPS feature, the Anti-Virus is just a sidebonus. I disable scheduled scanning because its not worth it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
It's much harder for malware to worm its way onto your Android than on a desktop OS. Generally it happens when people hide malicious activity in seemingly harmless apps. The only way to protect against that is to look at the requested permissions when you install things are make sure it is only using things it needs. Also, check the comments and use reputable developers from the Android Market.

Even these antivirus tools can't protect you from a malicious app though cos they have no way of knowing what you meant to allow the app to do and what it's doing without telling you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i'm using Lookout it's free, and non memory resident if you choose not to

but still works when you install something new, it tells you if it's safe or not

I m using AVG as well as Lookout.. actually jsut trying them out. Thinking should I keep or Uninstall ? :/

but no where near as good and easy to use as Lookout

I was searching through androidforums and i just found an OP made a thread about a new game which is to release on Iphone only for now and we are struggling to get it to android as well by requesting Gameloft so EVERYONE head towards the gameloft forum and make a request about getting this game on android.

This game is an EXACT clone of WoW and i don't think anyone would NOT like to play an mmorpg on android no matter how much you hate World Of Warcraft.

I don't see how 'irritating gameloft' can help getting what you want. Since when do we encourage eachother to act like babies?

Nevertheless; I would love to see this game on android. But I just wait till someone on Gameloft tells us that they are making it for Android too.
[Android Apps and Games] shad0wboss:
The purpose of this all is to make gameloft realise that android users are huge in quantity when compared to iphone and they are willing to pay. One of the reason why this game isn't listed on android platform is probably because gameloft doesn't think that the android online community will be huge when it comes to online gameplay. Also gameloft loves to have it's public opinion. You can go on youtube and post opinions on gameloft videos and they reply joyfully saying that they'll pass our opinions to developers so i don't see a point why we SHOULDN'T tell them our personal opinion about this game?

If you think this game should be on android then it only takes 2 minutes to post a reply there + registration...
