But you set up your Windows Live account and entered the activation code that came with your device, right? Without that, you cannot use the marketplace.

Is there maybe a problem with the marketplace just now? I've just tried to download a few different things and am getting message along the lines of "can't get this info right now, check back later"?

Hi there ...

I have the same problem - i can enter the marketplace, view all apps ... But when i try to buy or download something' i get a timeout ... Using my HD7, of course ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
MP problem is problem over net/over cloud, it has nothing to do with our phones... same for Xbox Live or Zune Player MP..

I dont think its not a good idea to hard reset my phone over net/cloud problems.. just wait .. lol
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
Yeah...unfortunately, learned that the hard way. Now I can't get my phone back the way i want it until this issue is fixed.

**UPDATE**

Just for the heck of it, I created a new live id and was able to download apps. is there a way I can switch all my transactions from the live id that's not working to the live id that is working?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
I don't know about that.. But I have switched from mobudget to my budget app.. And my trial expired last night .. Since than I have been trying to buy it but nothing ..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dov74:
Is anyone else still having problems with the marketplace? I'm still getting the "can't get this information right now, check back in a little while" error when I try to download anything.

Edit : I also can't download any apps or music through Zune on my laptop so I'm guessing my windows live I.d. has developed some kind of problem in the last 24 hours. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:

HTC HD2 sync problem

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I downloaded HTC sync but it does'nt sync my phone with PC. Of course you cannot use Activesync when you are using android as a core OS in your phone.

I want to flash my current rom that is CM7 android [2.3.4] typhonn v3.3.2 nightly.

(Using this rom i had alot of problems like Process stopped unexpectedly.) So i decided to flash rom but i can't, When i run radio flash Customruu.exe it say;

Error[202] connection, I used all proper methods, Power off phone, hold VOL down key entered into striped color window & connected USB with the device & pc. In the white screen it turned from serial to USB & after doing flash with customruu.exe always this error pops up & Pisses me off!

If there is any expert please help!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

It's not about USING ActiveSync to sync your phone.

ActiveSync contains the drivers used to connect phone to pc/laptop.

Same thing with WMDC.

So,all I'm saying is that ActiveSync or WMDC should be "installed" ,then the connection should be possible.

[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Sorry if this topic has been covered, but I need a solution for this.

My 32GB Kingston Class 4 MicroSD get either partially wiped or totally wiped out when finishing a transfer och when transfer anything.

Anybody know what the cause may be? Its FAT32 so that is not the case.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] iCurmudgeon:
Possibly a bad card. I've run into several flaky 32gb micro-SD cards before, all from different manufacturers. They don't seem to be as reliable as the smaller ones. I would suggest removing the micro-SD card and reformatting it in a computer, PC or Mac. Make sure the allocation size is set to 32KB, and DON'T use quick format.

Alternatively, use SDFormatter to do the format. Then try again.

Just out of curiosity, what brand was that card?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Kingston 32 GB Class 4.

I dont believe its the card, I believe this is a software problem because I had similar problems with my previous 16 one and same thing happened a few times.

I formatted already will see how it works out.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Nope, everytime i put something new and restart the tablet the things i just transfered are gone!
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
i've had this issue with 2, 4, 16 and 32Gb cards on my archos 101, g-tablet and iconia. 3 different manufacturers, 3 different android variants (not included various updates and roms)

adding .nomedia in the directory seems to stop files from disappearing, but why are they disappearing in the 1st place?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Do you write a text file .nomedia with the txt in the end or without? And do place it in the root of the SD?

Well it seems that this is something that must be fixed quickly by Acer or someone...
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
Just name a file. No media and place it in directories that you don't want to loose.... or you can do apps like no media manager in the market
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
Have this same problem. Added the nomedia file but still losing data off the card after reboot. Funny thing is I have afile on the card that survives reboot, and I think it was there before the last update.

Hope this gets fixed with 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
That really sucks, that's exactly the same problem the system lets 'some' file be there while other gets erased.

May I ask the size of your MicroSD and brand?

All the best.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Ok guys I think i've fixed the problem!

I have a faint memory of my 16 GB having the same problem before i bricked it and fixed it.

But at the time I was so preoccupied with unbricking it that i didnt think of of any bugs before that.

So, what I just did about 30 min ago is the following, I reflashed the tablet with the same software that I used previously found on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101859

And voila! I transfer stuff and restart and they are still there!

And another good thing is that all my stuff is still there, programs and emails.

Hope this helps anybody with this irritating problem.

We shouldnt have to do this everytime we change our External Memory card to a new or another. Hopefully the 3.1 update will fix this.

Dont forget to thank me!

Missing files?

Hi all.

Please post which version of the system build you are using if you are having this problem.

My Iconia is on 1.141.07 pushed by Acer last month. I have a Sandisk 16 gig and a Transend 32 gig external SD cards, and have had none of these problems, and I switch them back and forth quite often.

Also, I did a full format to Fat32 on the 16 gig, but didn't do anything to the 32 gig. In order to present this problem to Acer/Google we need as much specific data as possible to help them narrow down the culprit.

How many other people are having this problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I have the same build as you 1.141.07

I've used Kingston 16 GB Class 4 and am now having trouble with my Kingston 32 GB Class 4

Hope we can get some help quick.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] urbie47:
Same experience with a harddisk connected to the Acer. Some files disappeared and i'm sure not deleted them. Keep an eye on it by regulary syncing with a backup-drive. Is there a way to 'save remove' usb data devices like in windows. ?

This problem really sux ass... There must be SOMETHING that can be done to fix... I mean we are not talking about porting another UI for Gods sake...

Safely remove USB drive

The only SURE way to safely remove a USB Drive from the Iconia is to power Down the tablet first.

Hey, you asked. Welcome to boot-up h-e-doublehockysticks.
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Quick question..

Are the people having this problem using encription on your Tabs? I have read that strange things occur when encription is turned on.

If so, maybe turn it off and see what happens....

Just a thought.

Added: A fix for encription problems is supposed to be in the 3.1 update, by the way.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Im sorry for the nooby question, but what is encription?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I have a wintec filemate 16gb. While I haven't noticed this exact scenario, I have had files get currupted and later disappeared.

I transfered a bunch of pics and videos from a camera connected via USB to my micro sdcard. Later, I noticed that only 3 of the pics were viewable.. All the rest were there but gallery nor Astro would display them. I can't tell you if it was after a reboot or not that caused them to be currupted. But, they stayed there for weeks (countless reboots). Also, I never pulled the card out of the tablet.

Then one day, I noticed all the pictures (except those 3 good ones) were missing. Still had not ever removed the card.

I've connected several usb drives to the tablet, and never noticed files missing from them.

Not sure if this helps anyone, just wanted to add it to the knowledge base.
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Encryption basically 'scrambles' the content on your storage device so it can't be read without authorization (password). It is commonly used for secure data transmission online, but you can go into Honeycomb settings and turn it on for you tablet.

NOT recommended until version 3.1 is released because of a few bugs.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
My apologies if this is a stupid "noobie" comment but by using the old fashioned method of file transfer I have never lost a single file. Using a500 with latest update and 32gb Adata microSD - I take out the SD and put it into a Targus card reader/writer, attach this to my desktop, transfer the movies/music/data files onto the SD then put it back into the tab. I know this is old fashioned and time consuming but I have never lost a single file.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I have done that many times.

The content still gets wiped out, but oddly NOT all just some but most.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
But you shouldnt HAVE to take it everytime... thats stupid if you think abt I mean an OS should be good enough to transfer files from one internal source to another...
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
I share your frustration Johnny - what irks me is that I own an Archos 101 which is far inferior IMO to the a500 but if I connect my Archos to my desktop then in windows explorer I see both my internal storage and the SD card as separate mass storage devices and can move files about between them with no problem however when I connect my a500 all I see is the internal storage, the only way I can see the SD is to use a r/w gizmo such as the Targus. Being a noob I accept that maybe I'm missing something that you all do to see both on the a500? There are so many of these small irritating problems that one hopes will be solved by an update

Quick Edit: I should mention that of course if I use my a500 and use Root Explorer or File Expert then I can see Internal & SD storage but not in Windows.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I keep praying for the same thing that the update will fix it.

But im most worried that it wont.

And removing the card is irritating since i use a casing and have to remove the casing... im considering 'modifying it myself'

[Acer Iconia A500] buffaloquinn:
Not to belittle any of the problems experienced by any of you guys but . . .

I would like to point out that Honeycomb 3.0 is a first generation OS and one that initially had no support at all for the external SD card (see XOOM). And while I have not experienced any missing or corrupted files on my 8gb Sandisk, I am also not going to over tax it until I see a more stable (or robust) version of Honeycomb (maybe 3.1, or maybe not) that has sd card support more tightly woven into the I/O of the OS.

Just my two cents.
[Acer Iconia A500] beaups:
Perhaps this bug is why Motorola disabled the SD slot? Just a thought.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Had the same problem

After a lot of troubleshooting the exact same issue - I found my problem with vanishing external SD card / vanishing internal storage files was caused by hooking into a system running ITunes/windows media center.

Some apps will try to automatically sync files between your a500 and PC/Mac. If you interrupt that sync you will get unpredictable file system issues. Reformat external SD as described above (no quick format), factory reset your a500 and do *not* hook it into a PC/Mac via USB until you have verified all software with autosync features have been stopped.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I haven't seen this problem on my Acer yet, but my Gtab would constantly delete any video files on my sdcard. The .nomedia trick worked for it. What I also found helped was using ES File Explorer to transfer my stuff from PC to my sdcard. Since my issues with my Gtab, I've pretty much always used that method on both my tablets and haven't had any problems with losing files at all. I even deleted the .nomedia file on my Gtab and it seems that since I'm not physically plugging my tab into my comp, it doesn't seem to happen. Couldn't tell you why, but it does seem to help for sure.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I found something in my Kingston 16GB Class 4 Card (that works fine on my A500).

A hidden file called: nmdsdcid

And the contents:{27798639-0E2D-4541-AF4D-BFD166EF80BE}

The fist letters nmd seems like nomedia something, could this be the file that is required in the root of the card? But need the contents be different depending on size?

The the old .nomedia file without extension doesnt work but it did on older versions of Android.

Come on dev experts! Or someone with programming language knowledge! You guys gotto make some sense outta this.

Im sure you can do it!

Edit: Tried copying the file into my 32 GB Kingston but the results are the exact same. Crap...
[Acer Iconia A500] urbie47:
Again !

It happened again so not only SD-cards but also HD’s

The circumstances : my buildnr is A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3. The harddisk is a Verbatim 350Gb 2.5 HD.

I’ve a Desktop, Laptop and Tablet and to keep my “worthfully” data (pictures, mail, books, music, notes etc etc) centralized I put it on a harddisk. As an extra security I sync that HD with a second HD. While syncing I noticed two times now that a lot of files disappeared from HD that I only used on my tablet that time. The second time I also noticed that the “Delete Troll” has a preference for a special map. Both times a lot, but not all, files (jpg, txt, html) disappeared. I’m a little reassured because I can repair but not all folks can and perhaps even don’t notice the presence of the “Troll” Tried 3 times to reproduce the fault deliberately by connecting, opening the HD in a file-explorer and just pull it out but to no avail. Hope the “Troll” will be catched by Acer, Google or a XDA-smartguy/girl.

(Perhaps the Seattle ,under the “Aurora Bridge”, Troll changed his menu from Beetles to files.)
[Acer Iconia A500] NeoGauge:
I believe this is only happening on fat32. My ntfs HD never has a problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
But how do you connect an NTFS hdd to you Iconia?

My first question should have been how have you guys managed to connect an external harddrive to your Acers?

My issue is only with my external MicroSD.

Cheers for sharing guys! Hope all these issues will be gone with the 3.1

PS: I already reported this issue to Acer here in Sweden btw.

I've actually had this Iconia A500 destory 2 x 16GB microSD cards. they both show as 0 mb and will not format now. It seems to happen after they are left in the tablet for awhile then you reboot... I don't have any way to format/recover them. Anyone else have this happen?
[Acer Iconia A500] VitaZora:
I just had a similar problem with a Verbatim 8GB usb flash drive. Lost ALL the jpg files (hundreds) on it. Other files were not affected. It took me a bit to trace the missing files back to the Iconia, but since I always properly eject flash drives from my computer, the Tab has to be the culprit.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
That is a rather out of date version you flashed - have you since OTA upgraded?
[Acer Iconia A500] epicnerd:
This just happened to me. I have the .13 GEN2. I went to view some pics of white boards from work saved on the external card and the card is blank. In addition to pics, I had some apk files and other stuff. Completely unacceptable.
