Cheers for clearing that up pulser :)
[General Questions and Answers] mackangus:
Hi all, I'm using an unrooted HTC Wildfire and yesterday all of my texts just disappeared - about 8000 in total. I think it was after I recieved a text from someone. I reasoned that the messages have to still be on the phone somewhere due to the fact that data is just marked as overwritable, or am I wrong about that? Either way, I hunted through the SD card with some file recovery software (PC Inspector File Recovery, to be precise) and found a few files that may be useful - "com.gb.gosms-1.asec" in "android_secure" that's 4.09MB (about the right size for the data my messaging app was reading in the "Settings>Applications", and "40123", found in "LOST.DIR" that is 14.0MB, probably too large but the closest I could find as the other two in that directory were only a few hundred kilobytes.

I can't open any of them - I tried "40123" as .db and .xml files and the .ASEC file seems to be an encrypted Android file.

I'm looking for a few things, I guess - Where should I look to use the file recovery software to find the old SMS files? How do I open a .ASEC file, and might it be the right one? And does anyone know of any way to recover my texts? I just would quite like to recover my texts as there are some important ones on there!

Many thanks in advance, and sorry if I am repeating anything, I ran a search but couldn't find anything.

P.S., I am using GoSMS, but my stock messaging app is just as empty!
[General Questions and Answers] FearedSkills:
Why do you have 8,000 texts on your phone? Typically any SMS app you download will automagicly delete any texts once you collect a certain amount.
[General Questions and Answers] mackangus:
I like to keep all my messages so I can know what has been said and because there are some important texts in there, and I just double checked and couldn't find any settings like that in there, but I know it's disabled on my stock app and I had conversations ranging from about 5000 to 2 or 3 texts, but thanks for the suggestion!

I did, however, find a thing saying that I had sent 1900 messages in total, or thereabouts, which is a lot more than I sent since the messages went missing, a lot less than I have sent since I got the phone. Perhaps it is from when I started using Go SMS, but is it indicative of the messages still being on the phone somewhere?
[General Questions and Answers] FearedSkills:
Yes it is since you got Go sms because the stock messanging app doesn't count how many was sent. And no that doesn't mean that they are on your phone. It is simply a built in counter allowing you to keep track of your messages in case you don't have an unlimited messaging plan. Try downloading a file explorer and searching for your texts, that should all be backlogged onto your phone somewhere. Chances are though that the messages where deleted. Linux will overwrite information in order to better utilize your memory space. I recommend to back up any messages, or lock the ones you want kept to avoid this in the future.
[General Questions and Answers] mackangus:
Thanks very much, I'll do that :)

As per my original message, does anyone know how to open a .ASEC file? :)

As the price of lapdock going down, it look interesting to me now.

But instead of showing the default webtop, which only have firefox; or install debian to my phone. Can I just show the current android in landscape mode to the screen of lapdock?
[Atrix 4G General] NibblerWeather:
Yeah but I don't think it will fill the screen. ...and the resolution isn't the same as webtop/firefox.... afaik

And the lapdock trackpad doesn't support two finger scrolling or any gesture type movements.

Irritated me enough to rip the phone out of dock and just use it normally.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
within webtop, you can rotate the phone display to landscape and fullscreen it, and but it doesn't run very smoothly. otherwise that's all you can do.
[Atrix 4G General] carfield:
Doesn't run smoothly? Isn't the configuration of atrix is similar to xoom?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
hey guys... not that its anything threatening... as far as i know, but earlier i was testing some roms and i had to remove and mtd partition(not sure if this is related to issue) so i flashed fr-remove, than did superwipe and powered off device... my battery was getting low last time i seen it so i figured i connect usb and let it charge a little before rebooting to flash rom.. so after a while of charging i reboot the device into recovery (forgetting to disconnect usb) holding home+power, as the normal G1 screen booted up it also had a 'FASTBOOT USB' in red lettering on top left corner of screen..

it never went any further.. just stayed at G1 screen and had fastboot usb on the top corner.. so i pulled the battery disconnected the usb than rebooted to recovery and flashed rom..

everything is ok so far im not sure if it affected anything... but i figured i would mention it on here and maybe someone knows what happened or at least why... and possibly could tell me if something bad is going to happen later on down the road lol

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CoolhandLocke:
Have a few questions about Screencasting, and I really couldn't find a definitive answer, so I knew this was the best place to ask...

I review Android Games & Apps for a site, and normally when I need a video I'll just youtube link it. I try to find Indie games, and review things a lot of folks might miss and unfortunately you can't always find a video available.

I know there's a modded version of Shootme! floating around, and it worked well but the quality wasn't really that great for some games I tried it on another big drawback was the lack of sound. Are there any other programs to try, or another way to go about it? Anything that does sound out there?

I've seen some very professional looking videos with audio and flawless video playback by some of the big dev companies so I know it can be done, just not sure how to do it. I know I could record the gameplay with a video camera like a lot of people do, but I'd prefer to keep my fingers out of the picture and literally just do a screencast with audio.

It might not be feasible, but I thought I would ask as it's been bugging me for awhile now. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PMODS:
AFAIK: for anything above 10 fps framerate, you probably need another solution like a video (HD) capture card + an Android device with (m)HDMI-out.

Okay I did temp root on my 3vo and used titanium backup to restore my apps and my old spiderman copied over the 3D version. Anyone have the spiderman 3D apk? I paid for it but gameloft doesn't have it to download. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmcjam07:
You should be able to redownload it by starting the "3D Games" app, then click my downloads and put in your phone number. I doubt anyone is going to post a paid app here whether you bought it or not. I don't think it's allowed.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrjaydee82:

[HTC EVO 3D] coolchris305:
You have to send gameloft an email or call them up...i sent them an email but still havent recieved a response from them
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
You'll need to download the contents of the SD card in the Development section. It's nearly 2GBs but it's got everything you need, including Spiderman and the Green hornet movie. It should already know you've got the license for it. It did for me when I wiped.

Alternatively, you may have to do a factory reset. Titanium Backup (IMHO) has always things worse.

I know this does not relate to spider man 3d but has anyone tried the asphalt 6 3d? I downloaded it, it works great... No tilt.. asked myself why and duhh, then you would lose the 3d effect... Anyway, I shut it down properly and now by battery is draining faster than normal. Sure enough, android says that asphalt 6 3d is 47% of the battery drain. Higher than my display! Anyone see this happen to them?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybbtt11:
I updated my hd7 to mango, then the same night I updated my focus to mango. All legit, all real dev phones.

I didn't have the option to restore my hd7 because i think it overwrote the restore data. but i had the option to restore my focus, so i did, but it gets stuck at 94% then gives me error code c101007b.

Am i crap out of luck on both phones?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
not sure if you are aware that you can cold boot your phone to factory settings (although when I did this I ended up with mango as os not the factory). cold boot wipes everything and installs the factory image. on LGs you turn the phone off (unplug battery if necessary), while the phone boots hold down camera + vol up + vol dwn buttons. It may take a few tries to get the timing right and you are greeted with "cold boot" message. Your phone will be at factory settings. Without your backup you unfortunately lost all your messages and settings. Your apps will either reinstall or you can install them again. You need to use the same windowslive account that you used before.

Make a backup of the backup for the phone that did make one before you do anything else. Once you are back to factory settings you should be able to put this backup into your Windows Phone Update folder (under .../appdata/local/microsoft/

Zune will pick that up and if you go to Zune, phone, settings, update you should be able to restore.

good luck

[G Tablet General] Brainze:
Just wanted to share my setup. It seems that a lot of you are really over thinking the physical mount. You don't need two simultaneous phone mounts, Leggos, or other silly gadgets.

It comes down to one simple idea: Attach the G-Tab to your dash with minimally invasive hardware so that it's sturdy, solid and won't go flying at your head in the event of an accident.

Items Needed:

Industrial strength Velcro

TWO thin galvanized steel (bend-able) fencing plates

(Found @ Home Depot, outside in the fencing)

Double-sided 3m mounting tape

FIVE MINUTES

Real simple...

Decide where you want the tablet

Take the two plates & either jam them into a seam in your dash with the double-sided tape (my method) or stick them directly to the dash.

I say to buy the galvanized plates, because you can now bend them to the proper viewing angle once mounted to the dash.

Once you have the mounting and bends done; cover the plates with the velcro.

Now put the opposite velcro pieces on the back of your tablet.

Viola!
[G Tablet General] Brainze:
Lol... I didn't notice that little piece of extra velcro on my dashmat until I reviewed these pictures.

My other reason for mounting the tablet in this manner is for ease of removal. I like being able to unplug & remove it when I hit a coffee shop, line at the DMV or family get togethers. Lol
[G Tablet General] JoTeC:
Awesome! And with the money you saved, you can buy a better camera! LOL :) JK, thanks for sharing!
[G Tablet General] Brainze:
The cam on the EVO is actually pretty good. Gotta blame the blistering and bright Texas sun for those, lol.
[G Tablet General] pyro6128:
very cool setup. Could you maybe take a side picture too just to get another view of how the whole thing looks? Does it move at all when you drive around, like on turns or anything?
[G Tablet General] Brainze:
Sure, will do. Doesn't move at all. Not even a vibration.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You could have saved even more money by switching to geico.
[G Tablet General] april5th:
Great thinking! Went to TAGS Hardware to find some similar hardware to hook up my old Saab 93 car dash with a mount. With the torque app and/or maps running for navigation, it's pretty slick looking.

I have one piece of industrial velcro to stick to the right side dash on the back of the tab and it sits snugly on the left side lip.
[G Tablet General] Brainze:
More pictures, as requested. Sorry for the delay.

Sweet job April5th! Cheap and very effective.

Yeah! The Torque app is the ****!

I've got a fully built 02' VW Jetta with a 70mm stage 2 turbo. This app gives me very accurate numbers equal to my dyno and 1/4 mile runs. Sweet stuff.

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Since there's nothing really going on while we wait for GB, I just thought I'd rant about something that bugs me, and I know quite a few others: On a phone this high-end and expensive, how is it Samsung couldn't see it's way to designing in a typical tri-color LED instead of this bogus two-color abomination?

It truly can't be a cost consideration. Nor the cost of engineering the hardware. Both factors are less than noise these days for a difference like that on a device like this.

Since it's the exception rather than the rule in the smartphone market, it was a deliberate feature omission. Some moron in marketing, with an equally dim project manager in R&D, made this decision.

Okay...here's what ya do.

Go to your local Radio Shack 10 years ago (actually a really backwoods one will work fine so don't go looking for Doc Brown). Get your three color LED of choice. Disassemble your beautiful Epic 4G of choice (no disassemble! Jonny Five alive!) Then remove the sum par 2 colors make 3 LED and replace it with the one from Radio Shack.

By the way, this may void the warranty, some assembly required, see your owners manual for more details and as always batteries not included. Except for this case...cellphones always come with batteries!
