Thanks

Ok so it worked. I corrected my XML and made sure everyone had a last name (which was dumb because I like to just use first names and nick names)

I got a good tip for everyone:

If you use notepad++ to view the exported xml you can change the the format and then copy past it into a new document. Because when you download the contacts off the phone the xml is all strung together.

In Notepad++ on the menu goto:

TextFt -->TextFX XML Tidy --> Tidy: Reindent XML

and that will take that long string xml and make it a nice looking file for you to work with.

I am hoping to get the ambition and time to write some sort of batch that can parse .csv into the appropriate xml, but who knows.

Activate Import Contacts

Hey Everyone,

Thanks to everyone for all the work they put in, especially John.

I am interested to see what happens going forward with this, but at the moment I want to use whatever features have been added, mainly transferring contacts.

My main question is how to get the import contacts button activated. It seems like this has been figured out, but I haven't been able to replicate it. From what I can tell, we need to upload a XML file and then restart the phone and it should work.

If someone could let me know how to activate the import contacts button I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
The file name that we found works is "cellebrite.contacts.xml" - all lower case, just as it appears. If the file is in the correct format, the Kin should recognise it and be able to import it.

From everyone's testing, it appears the contact can only have a first and last name, and phone number. The other fields won't work. Feel free to review the other pages of this thread, as I might be wrong. If you find something different, let us know.
[KIN Two Software Development] delivery_dragon:
I put the program and correct Drivers on my computer, and It says it's connected and all, BUT It says

"the KIN storage root folder is empty.

This is clearly weird!"

Whenever I try "download"

Whenever I try to upload(any format) It says

"File 'C:\Users\Jacob\Pictures\wallpaper6.jpg' wasnt uploaded! (error here?)

All files processed. Yay!"

It says connected on the Kin screen.

Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
What Operating System are you using? (Windows, Mac, Linux, 32 or 64 bit)

If Windows, do you have Zune installed? Have you tried removing it, so it doesn't automatically try connecting to the Kin?

Try resetting your phone to make sure it's in MTP mode, and/or computer. Are you sure you have files on the Kin?
[KIN Two Software Development] hbtest:
your guess is correct

So I tested this on my phone(s) and it seems correct. I just got a replacement phone from verizon (so its blank and I can afford to reset it, though not brick it if anyone needs to try anything). When I uploaded the cellebrite.contacts.xml file on the blank phone and reset, I was able to upload contacts. On my other phone, when I uploaded the same file it didn't work. I assume that is due to John's assumption in that I have tried uploading other xml files before.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Sometimes kin works randomly. I suggest to disconnected and retry when that happens. from usb too. The program was still in experiment phase, and i may have forgotten to put a MTP instruction. Btw, i think it was so funny at the KinO comments.

Sometimes you need to reboot. We dont really know how it worked, as even the export info does not work properly (i exported a fully filled contact with crappy results). The biggest problem is that the DTD schema for the xml doesnt exist anymore.
[KIN Two Software Development] SchwassKIN:
??

:confused:

John,

What does that mean? DTD Schema?
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
http://www.google.com/search?q=dtd+schema

I believe what he is saying is that we don't actually know the official definition of how the contact XML file should be. We only have examples of one that can be imported, and what it looks like when it is exported.
[KIN Two Software Development] SchwassKIN:
Right I know what a DTD is. But what does I dont understand is how he says it doesn't exist. I know the format for the XML I've been importing and exporting contacts and am working on a script to convert s csv. I will post it when im finished.
[KIN Two Software Development] hbtest:
DTD RegEx

I know this is ugly, but my contacts were passing the eye ball check but were still not loading. I wrote this RegEx, and made sure it matches the entire contact list on the sample Boba Fett contact list. Once my contacts passed this RegEx, they finally uploaded. I spent a long time trying without this, so this was definitely useful for me.

Entire contact list

<Contacts>\R(<Contact>\R<FirstName>[A-Za-z\.0-9 ]+</FirstName>\R<LastName>[A-Za-z\.0-9]+</LastName>\R<PhoneNumbers>\R(<PhoneNumber PhoneType="(mobile|home1|business1)">[0-9#\*]+</PhoneNumber>\R)*</PhoneNumbers>\R</Contact>\R)+</Contacts>\R

Individual Contact

(<Contact>\R<FirstName>[A-Za-z\.0-9 ]+</FirstName>\R<LastName>[A-Za-z\.0-9]+</LastName>\R<PhoneNumbers>\R(<PhoneNumber PhoneType="(mobile|home1|business1)">[0-9#\*]+</PhoneNumber>\R)*</PhoneNumbers>\R</Contact>\R)+

I hope I am finally contributing something of use back since the contact transfer thing helped me out. :)

EDIT: These two have been updated
[KIN Two Software Development] SchwassKIN:
I am interested in this RegEx how exactly did you use it? I am only familiar with the command

Findstr /R

in cmd to create a regular expression.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Yes, i meant that the original Dtd Schema for this (a microsoft url) is not available now.

Also, i like the Regexp, although a homemade dtd would work too (if someone does :P).

I guess a javascript function could do a regexp into an string (your xml content) and say if it matches... or not.

I was a bit bored, so i put this together,based on the RegExp provided by hbtest:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:element name="Contacts">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Contact">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="LastName" type="xs:string"/>

<xs:element name="PhoneNumbers">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="PhoneNumber">
<xs:complexType mixed="true">
<xs:attribute name="PhoneType" type="xs:string" fixed="mobile"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

You could save it as a xml schema and then test your contacts.xml and the schema in a website, like this one:

http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate/

You can also use a local tool to keep stuff to your own (my example schema is local) for personal contact private private ...i meant private private stuff, but i wont say one, cause i dont know nor cared about it.

Btw, i just provided "A" schema not "A WORKING AND AMAZINGLY TESTED" schema. Modify to your needs at will.
[KIN Two Software Development] hbtest:
Just wanted to note a couple of things.

1. I think I might have not put my final RegEx up. I was experimenting with many different ones and that does not seem to be my final version. I will try to update it later today.

2. I was using the RegEx search in eclipse to do this since it supports multi-line regex, so this exact RegEx might not work for everyone since the \R is a special character for eclipse. I just put the RegEx in and see the highlighting, and anywhere that is not highlighted, I try to fix. Just repeating this process got my contact list transferred.

EDIT:

Here is the new more robust RegEx. My original RegEx was actually to narrow

Whole contact list:

<Contacts>\R(<Contact>\R<FirstName>[A-Za-z\.0-9 ]+</FirstName>\R<LastName>[A-Za-z\.0-9]+</LastName>\R<PhoneNumbers>\R(<PhoneNumber PhoneType="(mobile|home1|business1)">[0-9#\*]+</PhoneNumber>\R)*</PhoneNumbers>\R</Contact>\R)+</Contacts>\R

Individual Contact:

(<Contact>\R<FirstName>[A-Za-z\.0-9 ]+</FirstName>\R<LastName>[A-Za-z\.0-9]+</LastName>\R<PhoneNumbers>\R(<PhoneNumber PhoneType="(mobile|home1|business1)">[0-9#\*]+</PhoneNumber>\R)*</PhoneNumbers>\R</Contact>\R)+

Is it possible?

Ok, well if you can upload any file to kin,(sorry if i sound stupid) but can you say upload third party zune hd apps or games to it.

because at zhdappsDOTcom/games it says you can upload these files to zune hd

thanks everyone SOOOO much

OR TO SUM THIS ALL UP.....CAN YOU PLAY GAMES YET????

hey could i have the source code cuz i want to try something. If i discover something i'll give you some of the credit i promise :)
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I have reuploaded a folder with the old 32-bits kino that i still had to mediafire (since seems to be the best place till its closed like multiupload).

If it's a wrong version or not kino at all (hehehehe) give me some hint and i will try to reupload stuff.

Should work till i finally work on the new tool, which could take ages being working on a real job and .. yak yak yak you know.

Hey JohnKussack,

Welcome back! Remind me, but did you post the source code for the project yet? Or were you waiting to fine tune it?
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
hihi!

not posted.

I redid it using code from the old one, changing winforms for gtk-sharp interface as it was cross-platform. but stopped working on it on download. i still need upload before releasing the baby.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
That's what I thought. Any chance you would be willing to put this code into some open source system (like Sourceforge) so we can get together on it? :)
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Yes. As i already said (and was true), i registered a github "place" for it:

https://github.com/johnkussack/KinO

Is just empty, as i dont have a stable stuff. I guess i could upload the current one, but i must finish upload at least.

It's looks a bit "uglier" but the compatibility should be better, as gtk takes native skins from the OS.

I also need to learn howto use git too (rofl).

On any case, the code is not optimized, has a lot of shorcuts and all you can imagine. I cheated a lot as a fully mtp implementation doesnt seems to fit here.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
Honestly, I'm not too concerned about how pretty the code looks, or how efficient the functionality is. I'm really rusty on programming, but can at least look at code and find ways to clean and optimise it; just not necessarily create new content as easily.

Once you're ready to have a few eyes look at it, feel free!
[KIN Two Software Development] AfterKinTwo:
First off, thank you John for all the work you have put into KinO. Microsoft should have already done this just because it's the right thing to do.

Long story short, I have around half a years worth of family pictures and videos I need to get off of my wife's Kin Two. KinO seems like my only hope of ever getting these items onto our pc.

I am having problems and I understand that KinO is in the early stages of development so I want to make sure I've done everything correctly before I accept that this won't work on my system yet. My problem is that KinO won't connect to the Kin... when I try it gives me a popup box that says 'Kin wasn't found.' When I hit ok, KinO tells me to connect a kin and update the driver.

I've created the driver using libusb two different ways, selecting Kin to have the driver made and not selecting anything to have the driver made. In each case I've gone into device manager to update the Kin driver with the driver I created. Neither way worked and gave me the same pop ups described in the previous paragraph.

Zune can detect the Kin when I have the typical drivers installed.

I have windows xp, 32 bit and a kin two.

Am I missing something?
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
I don't understand why you can't get the pictures off using Zune. It can retrieve all the pictures and videos off your Kin, especially on x86 XP. Is that having a problem?
[KIN Two Software Development] AfterKinTwo:
No, that's the kicker and why I think MS is being unfair in this situation. When we first got the kin I set everything up and Zune would pull pics off the phone. My wife hadn't hooked up her kin in a LONG while (which I wasn't aware of) and since then Zune has changed and no longer will pull the pics/vids off the phone. It seems to be more geared toward buying content from the store and then syncing it with the devices but not pulling things off of devices.

I've done an exhausting number of searches on how to use Zune to pull pictures off the device and none of them are correct. They all are outdated and refer to things that "Aren't avalible on my device" or have broken links. #1 examples are when you click links for 'Managing your media collection' or 'Manual Sync' at the official Zune on KIN page.

I've also tried on a win7 64 bit system to sync with Zune with the same failed results.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Yeah, my bad.

That's the worse part on connecting with the kin. I find better results working with the kin locked when it's going to connect through KinO.

I did not have (so many) troubles when i worked with the linux c++ testing code i had and what you could see in the famous ultralowres vids on this site.

The problem is that not everyone uses linux.. hehe..hehe.

I think i changed that in the new program, but cannot assure it.

I may do a bulk download console test for windows, so is like a "lite" version, just like autodownload all. That solves the problem of getting stuff, with the only pain of waiting for all to get downloaded.

So zune also forgetting the Kin... tsk tsk...

Btw, i have som winxp, win7 and some 64bits stuff, so i think i could try the new stuff there. But i dont like the 64 bits virtual machine so.. probably work for 32bits at first stage.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I've seen an implementation (better said) wrapper of libusb under java. If it is easier to develop there and operate with kino (as that would remove the requirement for mono on the platforms) imma try it.

In that case, the current c# sourcecode would be published (counting that would'nt be a finished product in that version).

I must check if a GUI is easily doable too, but portability matters.

thinking.. thinking...
[KIN Two Software Development] AfterKinTwo:
I was able to get to the pictures using the Zune software. If interested, you can see details on answers.microsoft under the following:

I can't post links or I would!
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Great to hear that.

I'm working with java-to-usb but seems like there's a no-go on the development process (works somehow on win, fails on linux), so i guess i'll stick to c++ and c#.

Oh btw, i bought an android phone while time passes, so i can now do "hd" captures, so... no more ultralowres stuff... lol :D

This is a KinO (v2?) snapshot with the new,lightweight gtk-interface, running on my linux box.

As you can see, there's a not labeled button which match with delete option and also lacks of upload (that stuff is not done on code).

Problems i see on code right now:

- Generating the file tree takes soo much time (probably by my own "fault" coding the tree nodes algorithm)

- You cannot set properties on the files (harcoded code for mp3 and so made it not "easily" updateable)

- GUI still hangs when downloading files

Good stuff:

- You can select a folder and pick download so it downloads the folder and all its content to the pc.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
i have been writing tests in windows and c++ to see if i can paste code from linux hehe.

for future devs, project can be opened with netbeans c++ in linux and visual studio 2008 and beyond in windows.

the main difference will probably be the usb handling for each OS. on the final idea it will be pasting one file or another,probably.

i'm not putting much effort in trying into mac,if it doesnt work as is with my already compiled libusb.

on a side note, i already made the minimal core for both linux and win under libusb with c++.ima pass code from c# into it for a core without gui,then gui over it.

if you want the new stuff too,i will remove the extra button on the gtk version and upload here while i code this.

code code code..... goody goody.
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
I did some digging around on my mac. But I can't seem to get this to work for some reason. I have the required programs, but the application isn't included in the download. Am I missing something here? Sorry for misunderstanding, I don't know how your program works
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
wait for a native app or learn how to use mono framework on mac. i told you three times already.

so you can run the "exe inside the download.. what to do with it?" stuff.

My blog http://xperiaminicyanogen.wordpress.com/ has been quite successful in attracting newbies to the power of custom roms. It also has help people to know the latest update in the custom rom without having to check in into XDA everyday. The problem is that on 26th May to 1 June, I will be busy participating on the National School Debating Championship. I think i will be too busy to manage the blog during those days. So I need help. I need someone to cover for me during that time. Your job mainly is :

1.Check in to XDA everyday at least once on development of x8, x10 mini and mini pro to check whether there's an update on the custom rom.

2. If there's an update, post it on the blog with the link to the installation thread

3. Reply to the occasional comments. It would be easier if you use the wordpress apps on your phone like I do.

I think that's all. If you are interested, just email me on xperiaminicyanogen@gmail.com I will then reply with the instructions.

has anyone tried video calling on skype/fring/qik?

or taken any photos with the front facing camera?

The htc website specs sheet says its VGA but at the roadshow the demonstrator told me it was 1.3MP and the incredible S has been listed with a 1.3MP front cam too.

Seems odd that HTC would downgrade the camera on its premium device...

(Although tbf they did downgrade user accesible ROM, so who knows?)

I just installed the weathernetwork weather app and it froze my phone. Upon rebooting I get stuck with the boot animation playing continuosly.

Is there any way to get my phone working again without having to do a total wipe?

My Nexus S is stock. I'm also a total android noob, so please try to give step by step instructions if possible.

Thanks

Update: I tried doing a wipe and factory restore through the recovery menu. Phone is still stuck at the rainbow x boot animation. Could this problem be caused by the 2.3.4 OTA I ran a few days ago? Also is there anything I can do or should I submit the phone under warranty?

Thanks again in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamblingbear:
I forgot to post the first time that I have the 9020A version of the phone, just incase that helps anyone.

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gun26:
You could try booting to recovery (when the phone is off, hold down the volume-up button and press and hold power until it starts) to see if you can do anything useful. Another option is to install the Android SDK and platform tools and Google USB drivers on your computer and use the adb ("android debug bridge") command from a console on your computer to try uninstalling the offending app.

Also, bear in mind that, assuming you've set your phone to sync to Google, you may not lose much by wiping it and starting over - in which case I recommend rooting it and installing a 3rd party recovery and custom ROM. Doing so won't lose things like pictures and music on the SD card part of the phone's memory. And the Android Market remembers your apps, both purchased and freebie.

if u flash any ROM using Odin, then most probably u will loose the data...
[Galaxy 3 General] tuzvihar:
I have used Titanium Backup Pro from the market. The contacts and calendar are already on the cloud, and with Titanium I have backed up all my apps. After flashing to a different ROM I could restore all my apps with data to the new ROM. I suggest you to buy Pro version for a small fee, as it can backup you applications in batch, otherwise its tedious to select them one-by-one.
