[HTC EVO 3D] bavman:
Unfortunately I left my cable and charger at home but I need to push some files to my evo. The only problem is, is that I don't have internet access right now on my laptop. Is there a way I can host an adhoc wifi on my laptop and have my phone connect and I would be able to access some files and put files on it that way? Thanks for any help and suggestions in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
Not sure if you can do it wirelessly. It would require that your PC was able to host a wireless network, and not many can do that. Wireless file sharing programs require your modem to host a network and act as a go between. Your phone can host a network, but without root, you'd have to pay Sprint for their wireless tether, and still, IDK if that would give you access to wherever you need to push those files. You also can't connect your phone to your laptop in order to run temproot, and set up a wireless tether solution... since you don't have a cable...

In short, I think you're SOL. :( I can't think of a non root method that allows you to connect your phone to your PC as if it was plugged in.
[HTC EVO 3D] nextelfixer:
If you can get to somewhere that has wifi, you can download wifi file explorer from the market. I think it costs a couple of dollars, but it is worth it. Once you have it installed on your phone, connect your phone to the wifi network and then run the program. It will give you the ip address of your phone. Then, just type that address into your internet explorer or whatever browser you have on your laptop and it will connect to your phone. After that, it gives you the option to pick a file to upload to your phone. It takes less time to do all this than it took me to type it. Super Easy and it works great!

I used this method on a new SGS II with no issues.

Note that if you're intending to flash a new ROM, most of them are already rooted so you don't have to root manually.

without root

Are you trying to say that for a custom rom we do not need to root the phone..

I can't believe how come such a great device has a stuttering problem with igo.

When listening to the voice directions from igo there is a very annoying stuttering.

Could someone shed some light on this and what to do

Guys I really need help in this as the stuttering is really annoying, could you please send me links to voices that have no stuttering.

I am so fed up with this stuttering, especially that my work depends on using igo alot, and this is so annoying and sometimes I don't hear the instructions well.

thanks so much

why don't you just use the google navigation. I ride motorcicles and I use the gps a lot. I was afraid when i bought the xperia that I would have to pay big money for a satnav program but the google one is the same if not a little better than TomTom-That's what I was using on my iphone. Never liked iGo.

https://market.android.com/developer...+Mobile+Voices

Seriously. These.

These are the best Text-to-Speech voices on the market for Android right now. Avoid the gimmicky ones (little kid, demon, etc), and get the one in your language. The Japanese one is very impressive, as is the Mandarin Chinese. The US and British English ones are pretty darn good too. I haven't heard any skipping, even on my lower powered Motorola Droid/Sholes (A855, original Droid CDMA-US). They take up about 15MB per voice, plus about 1-3MB for the speech enginge (speech engine is free and plays samples for the voices). SVox as a company has been doing TTS voices since the 90's at least.

If your iGO navigation app is using the system TTS, get these. They are about US$3 a piece, but so very worth it in my opinion. Made dealing with Google Navigation much easier.

Guys,

I've merged a lot of contacts with their facebook, twitter, yahoo and google accounts on my phone. After flashing a new ROM, when I import the contacts from the .vcf backup file, the merged contacts are now showing up as unjoined and I need to merge them again. It is a painful process and I would be thankful if anybody can provide a solution to backup/restore the contacts exactly as they are, so that I can monkey around with my device without worry:D

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Anybody out there have a solution? Or am I missing anything?

Sorry for quoting myself though.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shashi_hv:
I have not faced with this issue as I keep them separate and not merge into device address book. Better & safe to keep them separate probably, as they can be added independently outside the context of your device address book.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
i need a solution too....too cumbersome to merge again and again....specially when you don't have something like mass merging
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
I want to merge the contacts because we can have their profile images as the contact image and we can have all their contact addresses under a single contact, instead of keeping them separate. Because everybody has a google, facebook, yahoo account and hence I've 4 contacts for a single person.

[LG Optimus 3D] deifel:
Hello,

since yesterday I have my Optimus 3D and now I have a few questions to settings or missing things that I dont want to accept :)

1. The point under "privacy": Back up my data and "Restore data" is missing!?

There is only "factory reset". Can someone tell me why or how I can find this?

2. I have a big problem with the softkeys (with the light of them). When I touch the touchscreen the softkeys dont go on and light. Whe I touch in of the softkeys they go on and light for exactly 5 seconds and then they go out. In the dark this is a horror :( Can someone tell me where I can set or change this? I know there is the hidden menu - but there i could only find to set the brightness of this buttons...

3. MS Exchange connection does not work, I cannot get a connection to our MS Exchange 2010 with godaddy certificate and the problem is the certificate. The P920 have no option to accept all certificates so the I get always an error. Well done! :(

With every other smartphone there where never problems. From motorola to nokia over htc... Is there any way to get this work or have someone the same problem?

Thanks a lot for the help and greetings from germany

Felix
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
Hey,

how can one access that secret menu you were talking about?

I was asking the very same question a few days ago (softkey lightning) and it seems that there is no option to change its duration. I got used to it fast though...

Yesterday i connected to a customers exchange 2010, was actually easier to setup than my gmx account. :) No missing certificates or other annoyances.

My Files

Got one problem, well annoyance really..on my galaxy there was always a file explorer called My Files, can't seem to find it on the O3D and miss it as it was so easy to use. I may just be a total muppet and it's there under a different name, have tried finding a my files apk that works but no joy. Anyone know a good file explorer? thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] SinSilla:
I'm using ES File Explorer and would recommend it. It's quite comfortable to use.
[LG Optimus 3D] fraser68:
Ok ta, will give that one a go..
[LG Optimus 3D] deifel:
The secret menu is easy to get:

take the launcher pro and the place a shortcut on the homescreen. Scroll down to com.lg.menu or something like that.

Then you can start it from the shortcut on the homescreen.

The problem with the exchange is a big problem^^

This must be a problem of the missing accept of the certificates of the P920.

Of course i tried a hard reset etc...

I can connect to a exchange server without a certificate...

So i think its defenitly a problem with the P920.

Do you have the option to back up your data in the privacy (Google)? This is missing in my P920...!?

Thanks

Touch screen sensitivity

Does anyone feel Touch screen sensitivity is a bit off, or at least in LG launcher. In 3D gallery when you swipe, sometime it skip next photo/video and scroll to the second next instead.

I tried Go Launcher Ex and it is more responsive. But custom launchers always make device slower.
[LG Optimus 3D] snowing:
It happens that Polaris Office is in fact a file explorer. The name itself is a perfect misleading one for sure, but then it works fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
I'm having no problems with the responsiveness whatsoever. I've used Touch Test a number of times and even with ten fingers on the screen it tracks them perfectly from top to bottom. Most little problems have to do with the LG software rather than the screen itself.

I use Launcher Pro Plus as a replacement launcher and it doesn't slow down the device one bit.

[Focus General] Mister Locke:
I have a developer unlocked Focus that is currently running 7004. It was dropped in water and I assumed it did not work as all it would give on boot is the connect to PC icon.

Earlier today I was thinking "Hey I should get a second battery" Well I remembered that other 'broken' Focus and I plugged it in. Mistakenly I was holding the camera button as it took a picture and brought me to the camera screen. This allowed me to exit and browse through the phone as normal. Everything worked as normal (Aside from there being no SIM) I could even browse the marketplace.

I decided to test the apps to see if they'd work first Facebook (no good couldn't update stuff even though I was on WiFi) and twitter. After writing a tweet the phone locked up and reverted to the connect to PC screen. Now the hardware buttons do not respond (Back, Home, Search, Camera will focus but won't take picture)

Short version:Now whenever I boot up it goes to the connect to PC screen. If I connect the phone to a PC it just keeps rebooting itself. The hardware buttons do not respond if I do the reset command. (Back, Home, Search, Camera will focus but won't take picture)

Question: Is it possible to fix this issue of infinite boot and have a normal phone again?

Phone specs

Version is 7004
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
If the hardware hasn't been affected you can try a reflash with one of these ROMs. If you can still do that. Plus a hard reset.

From what you have described, I can't tell for sure what is wrong (soft, hard or both). Hopefully none.

The fact that the phone worked, suggests that part of the software is working. The hardware seems ok, so if you're lucky enough the phone might work with a reflash.

What I recommend, before you reflash, considering it was dropped in water, is make really sure it's dry. I hope you removed the battery quick enough as that usually damages the phone if left in, afterwards.

I've heard various methods, and I know 2 that work:

- remove the battery and the cover and find a warm/hotter and dry place (not too hot) and put the phone there, over a towel and in between the phone and the towel, kitchen towel. The idea is to heat the phone slightly. DO NOT use a microwave or a blow dryer or fire. A good example is over an electric blanket, at lowest power (+towel, +paper towel).

- dry rice. immerse the phone completely in dry rice (batt/cover removed) and leave for 24h
[Focus General] Mister Locke:
So when I flash the device it comes up with a connect to PC screen. However the flash does complete the entire process. Zune then starts running but says restoration fails.

EDIT: I don't think this phone is good to work anymore.

Picture of Zune error: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/98/erroron.jpg
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Did you re-flash the firmware or you only tried to restore from Zune?

The flash process doesn't involve Zune...
[Focus General] Mister Locke:
I reflashed the phone and then it reboots itself. First with the screen with the red arrow. Which is supposed to happen. Then it reboots itself again and Zune boots up, giving me that error. It then returns to the connect to PC screen once again no matter how many times it is rebooted.

EDIT: Would it matter which AT&T ROM I used to flash it with?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Hmmm.

Here's an Omnia 7 guide, but should apply to the Focus as well (evidently, with Focus ROM/binaries from Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe)

I suppose you followed it. If that's the case then your hw might be affected... :(
[Focus General] Mister Locke:
Yeah I followed that exactly. I'm guessing the hardware is affected and can't be used anymore. Guess the one time I used it was a fluke. XD Oh well. So much for having two Samsung Focuses.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I think you should ask Heathcliff74 (PM him), maybe the problem is that one of the steps just doesn't complete and maybe there's a way to force that, or there might be more you can try.

Here's some competition for y'all..........drum roll..................

AudioGalaxy is a free app with free service with a song limit of 200,000 songs with no ##gb storage limits the only catch is you hafta leave your computer on for it to work but you, your gf, mom, brother........all can listen to it on different devices at the same time from anywhere in the world as long as you can get internet connection on your phone & its as clear as the files themselves are & its amazingly fast
[Epic 4G General] dtugg:
Leaving your computer on all the time would probably use more than $20 worth of electricity in a year. And if your home connection goes out, Audiogalaxy won't work. Also, if your hardrive(s) fail you are screwed. Amazon lets you download everything so you have a very good backup. The only benifit that I see to Audiogalaxy is that you don't have to upload anything. Then again, you only have to do that once with Amazon/Google and the upload app does all the work.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
below is from me looking. So looks like I can have unlimted till next year and then I will get downgraded unless I pay $20 then..so will it just delete all my music off their cloud or I just cant get it to it?

Your plan will end on March 29, 2012.

Your storage plan will automatically downgrade to the free 5 GB plan. For $20.00 per year, you can keep your plan and continue to have 20 GB of storage without interruption.

Has anyone made or attempted to make custom lock rings on the Inspire for Sense 3.0? I saw some for the Desire HD but they only work with the Sense 3 add on. I flashed to see if it would work but it only changes when you drag an app from the lock screen into it. I also found some for the Thunderbolt but got the same result. I looked into making my own but it mentions something about using m10 tools and I'm fairly new to android so I wouldn't know where to start.
