[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themunix:
Hi, I tried to open some WP7 mui files in Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone and it tells me:

"There is no editor available for 'xxx.mui'. Make sure the application for the file type (.mui) is installed."

I also read somewhere that you must rename the file to .dll and than open them but when I do it tells:

"The following components could not be browsed:" and nothing else.

I read posts about WM6 mui files but I wonder how can i edit WP7 mui files. Should I have full version of Visual Studio?

Hi all, i have a problem, my hero sometimes don't make calls, if i enter the number and press call works, but if i select the contact into the list or the calls registers it doesn't work, i have to make 3 times and maybe works.

I have Cronos Ginger last version and last version of radio.

Thanks to all.

P.D.: I don't have duplicated contacts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:

how do i tether?

where can i get ring tones at?

all my fb contacts were loaded on to my call list, i dont want them there can i just delete them?

any input that u want to share with a new user would be great!!

thats all for now but more to come thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Android Market.

Install one of the many tethering apps in the market, or root and use the wifi tether app.

Just drag and drop into sd card, select in the music player and press menu > set as > ringtone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
root? lol man i told you im coming from a bb so yea lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You can also get anyone of a dozen apps like Ringdroid to select the part of the song you want for the ringtone.

If removing the FB synch doesn't get rid of the contacts then if all your contacts are already on Google then you can delete all contacts and just synch back the Google ones.

i was looking and one place said i could scan the bar code!!? how do i do that?

can i set the epic to actively look 4 a open wi fi connection?

why the crap wont the alarm work on it lol, sleeping in is cool but yea lol

besides the app task killer how i clean the memory and history stuff to save room and keep speed up?

thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You have the market application on your phone, it's called Market, download your apps from there. If you want to scan barcodes then download the barcode scanner app.

When you turn wifi on your phone will look for open networks then notify you, don't leave wifi on when not connected or you'll just be wasting battery while it searches.

Do not use a taskiller. Seriously. It interferes with the Android system and just wastes battery life.

I think you need to do some research on how to use your phone, some of these things are extrememely basic and covered in the booklet that came with your phone.

Folks, i am running Myns Warm 2.2 Rls 5 and for some reason i am not able to fully open word documents, i had a document come to me on Friday that had some graphics on it but it only opened up the graphics but not the writing itself, can you all possibly point me to what may be the problem?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjsztainbok:
I currently have 4.1.57 but want to reflash back to 4.1.26 so that I can get root again. Before doing this, I'd like to backup my apps and data so that I don't lose some of my games, etc.

Are there any apps that will backup the data and applications without root? Normally I'd use Titanium Backup but this requires root so it won't work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeLearner:
+1 I would like to do exactly the same thing! I have searched and tried but I can not find a process or app to backup "app+data" (game progress, app settings, text messages). I also have titanium backup pro but it obviously doesn't work without root. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link12245:
try mybackup from the market. I don't think it can grab app data or system data, but could atleast backup call log, sms, contacts, ect.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjsztainbok:
Unfortunately app data is what I need to backup. I've spent hours playing Game Dev Story and don't want to lose my game progress.

I don't really care as much about call log, sms's, etc.

[Xoom General] texasez:
Bored. I can tether evo with xoom with no encryption but when I use encryption I cannot get it to connect. I enter aaaaaaa1234567890 on both but the xoom will not connect. It trys to authenticate but then disables. Please help.
[Xoom General] Holsum:
try using a smaller password anywhere from 5-8 letters. See if that works
[Xoom General] blackte4:
and you have to accept it in the access control....
[Xoom General] texasez:
shorter is not better for me. does not work either.
[Xoom General] texasez:
Would you expand on this please. I do not understand.

Help please.
[Xoom General] :
once you open tether go to menu>access control make sure that your device is an authorized client. click enable and check the box next to your device to auth it as an auth user.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
Don't use encryption and don't browse any personal sites with accounts.
[Xoom General] Holsum:
try using a different encryption type on the evo see if that helps.
[Xoom General] texasez:
There is only one option on wireless tether and it asks for a pass phrase.

Wpa/wpa2-psk.
[Xoom General] Holsum:
yea then i guess your only option is to not use encryption and to not go to any password/info sharing sites.

the sprint wifi network that comes on the evo allows you to us encryption and it connects just fine. if you are worried that much about security then i would go with that option.

either way encrypted or unencrypted wifi, neither are safe anyway.
[Android Themes] TheSkepticalGuy:
Thanks XDA for featuring my work on the front page.

Note: This is a low resolution image and for demonstration purposes only.

Hello guys this is my second Bootanimation and hope you guys like it.

Download:

MediaFire: Download - 480x800

MegaUpload: Download - 320x480 <<<Fixed 4/7/11

MegaUpload: "NEW" Download - 490x800 4/8/11

Installation:

1. Copy bootanimation.zip to the root of your SD Card

2. Move it to /data/local/ or /system/media/ and replace existing one using root explorer.

Reboot and Enjoy!

If animation is to fast or if you need it to work on your older phone, open attached desc.txt file and just modify the the resolution values based on your device screen size (high end devices 480x800 (width x height).

Example: if your resolution values are 320x480, your txt file should look like this in the first line:

320 480 12

If you like my work don't forget to Thank me on this post.

In the directories /data/local/ or /system/media/ does not exist any bootanimation.zip. Could you help me, I have a LG P500. Thanks.
[Android Themes] androidarmin:
Awesome animation, I love it.. Thanks much for creating it!!!

Only little problem I have: it's running way too fast on my HTC EVO (w/ Calkulin's EViO ROM v1.7.7.. THE BEST CUSTOM ROM... - EVER!).

Where's the file the Dev is talking about? Is it part of the zip file..? I guess so, as nothing else downloaded...

Will be tinkering with it a bit, hoping to figure it out...

Did I say "THANK YOU!" already?? :-)
[Android Themes] :
This is amazing. Best boot animation yet! Thanks OP!
[Android Themes] jase33:
The file youre looking for, "desc.txt", is in the .zip file of the download.
[Android Themes] TheSkepticalGuy:
Push it with root explorer to /data/local/ or to /system/media/ and reboot.
[Android Themes] enzola:
I tested it out and the results were amazing...
[Android Themes] enzola:
There's only one problem. It is going to fast but it is set to my resolution though and I am assuming if I lower it, it will also lower the quality, or I may be wrong. Other than then perfect.

If you could have it enter login information one letter at a time for Dante or another character from the game before the umbrella starts to spin faster that'd be awesome! Just a suggestion, either way this is sick.

Um... I can't get it to work. Well, it's not it. I can't remove my other boot animation, it says it's read only. How do I fix that? I'm new to Android, I admit. My last phone was a windows mobile 6.5 phone, and I don't know much about Android currently.

Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

I'll give that a shot and let you know. Thank you!

edit: I tried the 480 800 and i was able to see the boot animation, but it was too large, so i changed the txt file from 480 800 12 to 480 800 10 and when i rebooted, i got a black screen.

Just pushed it with Android Commander, still can't figure out how to move files in Astro. But looks great. pushed it to /system/media on Epic 4G running ViperRom Synergy 5.0

Since the HTC EVO it's running HTC Sense you'll have to push it with Root Explorer to:

So this didn't work in either root explorer or emulator, it says file.is read only. And when I try to use emulator it say "file exists" I imagine that is the Baked snacks ROM boot animation.

There seems to be nothing that can be done to the pre-existing file as it is read only and none of the chmod commands work on that file.
