[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Avatar28:
I filed an insurance claim on my Rhodium because the touch screen stopped working completely. I got an HTC Surround for the replacement device. The phone sat around on my computer desk for a few days. I have several dollars invested in apps and games for WP7 now. Yesterday I accidentally turned it back on and noticed that the screen has started working again. Good thing or else I couldn't have relocked it. :)

Anyways, should I call them back and tell them that it started working? Send back the Surround? Or just figure that I got lucky, keep the Surround, and go ahead and return the Rhodium? I'm leaning towards the third option but I wanted some other opinions on proper action in this case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] coder12:
Hmm, this is a tough situation indeed. Did you file the claim with HTC or with your phone carrier? I'd send it back, and if it doesn't fly with them then well, you're not at a huge loss I guess.

Or you could keep both the phones, move to Canada, and become a fugitive! I don't recommend this but I suppose you could. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Avatar28:
Thanks, I ended up changing the bootloader back and sending it back.

I have some problem with rc3. When I put in my gt540 it randomly crashed but when I try to reduce minimal frecenquy of cpu it reboots, now after reboots it freeze or reboot after few second after he reach the starting menu.

what can i do???
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Bootloop

Do a full wipe and reflash the ROM. But remember to backup your app (if you need to) as this will delete everything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResmeN:
Hi Guys,

Just switched over from iPhone 3GS to S2 but am having slight teething problems.

I would like to connect to Kies so I may upload my contacts from outlook on to the S2 but the status is stuck on connecting with a circle spinning next to it on kies.

I uninstalled kies, reinstalled it. Running version 2.0.2.11071_128. Rebooted the pc many times and each time I open kies trying to connect the status is stuck on connecting.

I installed drivers thru kies but to no avail. The pc won't even recognise the phone as a usb storage device and doesn't list it under my computer.

All I get is a window popup which says mtp error ivc or something like that.

Help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I had that exact same MTP problem with my S8500. Did everything I could do, but none worked. Finally it got solved after installing Win 7 x64/x86. I know that sounds crazy but all I know is that.

You don't say what your PC is running.

maybe try a full windows update then re-install Kies ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkhanahmadov:
I have Win XPon my desktop and Win 7 on my laptop.

I've installed same version of Kies on both of my computers.

XP doesn't recognise MTP device, but Win7 does.

I think maybe it's driver problem. There's Windows Driver Kit on Microsoft's website. I didn't try it, already using Kies on Win7.

Who else have driver issues, maybe could try driver kit and feedback?! ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanwu:
I have the Win XP Pro and Win 7 Home Premium X64.

After I install the Kies, everything works fine.

You may try to uncheck USB Debugging under Settings -> Applications -> Development. I am not sure if it can help you. However, Kies cannot connect to my GS II when I checked USB Debugging.

If you want to import your contacts into your GS II, I recommend you should import them into your gmail. (I do believe that importing contacts into gmail is a better method for the Android users)

I found an article on importing contacts into gmail.

(Sorry that I can't post the outside link here. You may search "Outlook contact to gmail" in Google. The first link should help you.)

After importing the contacts into your gmail, you can sync the contacts between your phone and your gmail.

Hope that I can help you! :)

Hey guys.

So I have a problem,

I was on darky's rom 10 and I have installed cyanogenmod7.

After that phone was woooow fast and great and everything...untill I decided to listen some tunes from external sd.

And so I have found out that I can't see external sd because I installed cyanogenmod on non froyo ROM.

Then I've tried to flash stock froyo but odin hanged a long time and I just restarted whole operation.

Now I have an icon ! that phone wants to connect to computer.

I can enter download mode with vol. down + home + power but it that state Odin cant see shiet. Only thing that can see phone in that state is windows (trying to install drivers and then fails!?) and kies (hanging on "connecting").

So, what are my options? Bricked for life? Or..... :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomsdaycs:
k that symbol means connectivity issues, so try changing the usb port and if that fails try using another usb cable...run odin as administrator before trying all this!!

Hey ppl,

I've had an awful fight with this phone and my brain and stupid PC.

omg

So, I have tried to flash 2.2 and it worked, then tried to flash cyanogenmod and it worked (again) but I couldn't reach external sd (again).

So I said to myself...f*** this s*** I'm going on stock,

And I did,

firmware version

2.3.4

baseband version

I9000XXJVR

kernel version

2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVR-CL425308

se.infra@SEP-60 #2

build number

gingerbread.xxjvr

This is what I have, and the problem I'm facing (again) is that phone or pc via USB can't recognise external SD.

Help please.

p.s. how can I easily go to cyanogenmod from here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaamir:
Kies is saying that "This version of the device cannot be updated."

Windows can't see either internal or external SD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaamir:

I've installed Darky's 10.2 ressurection, something is very wrong with my phone.

Install went fine, rebooted ok.

Still no SD card, when I reinsert it, it says its blank or non supported format.

Tryed to reboot the phone and it just loops on darky's logo/animation.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
Phone volume is dependent on the kernel. You can only improve that by changing kernel. Not sure about audio or notification volume, but I assume that would also be dependent on the kernel. I know there is a voodoo sound app that affects sound seperate from the kernel, but I'm not an android developer and don't know the relationships. hth.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I've ordered a USB-OTG cable (MicroUSB Male to USB-A Female) over eBay for a few €'s.

The Arc and Neo are supposed to support USB-OTG, so I couldn't resist buying one. I wonder how it'll work (and if it'll work).

I'll be testing:

- Wireless Mouse and Keyboard combo receiver

- Regular USB keyboard and mouse

- USB-stick

- Connecting my camera (Sony Alpha A200)

any other suggestions?
[Xperia Arc General] Soheil_rf:
Hi

I've N8 USB-OTG cable , my Arc detect flash memory but not mount it

I tested USB Optical Mouse , Multi-Card Reader , Sony Flash Memory 8GB
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Not according to SE.

There's no mention of such a feature on either the Arc's or Neo's pages on their website.
[Xperia Arc General] kiz1983:
Then why there is usb otg driver on arc.. I noticed it when browsing system apps..
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It should be supported from the 4.0 firmware onwards. The Livedock has a USB OTG port too.
[Xperia Arc General] Soheil_rf:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/20...headset-and-the-livedock™-multimedia-station/
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
Maybe in 2.3.4? :D
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
The LiveDock™ will work with Android™ phones running the latest version of the LiveWare™ manager, available on Android™ Market.

The LiveDock™multimedia station with Launch feature will be fully supported in Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ mini and Xperia™ mini pro from launch.

Other 2011 Sony Ericsson Xperia™ phones e.g. Xperia™ neo and Xperia™ arc will support LiveDock™ through software updates later this year.

The software update we just got (4.0....) is the one that brings the Ray etc software to the Arc and Neo, so that should have given us USB OTG.
[Xperia Arc General] r_southampton:
? is USG OTG the same as USB-Host ?

Would be cool if it was.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
And yet there's zero mention of it on the pages for either the Arc or the Neo...

How strange.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I think they don't want to mention it when their official software doesn't support it yet... It is mentioned on the Livedock pages. Perhaps the phones can't deliver enough power over USB by themselves, but the Livedock can?
[Xperia Arc General] Mach1Chris:
I asked about the OTG support in the kernel thread the SE guy started in the dev section. The kernel is compiled with OTG support.

However, you're probably not able to mount it because the micro-usb port on the arc isn't powered. You'd need an external power source I believe to make it work...
[Xperia Arc General] Soheil_rf:
as you can see in the picture there is noting wrong with power , at least not with mouse

I think SE disabled this capability and only LiveDock works
[Xperia Arc General] Mach1Chris:
Can't help you there... but in their reply in the kernel thread they said the pre-loaded drivers are very limited so maybe it's something to do with that...
[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:

From my orignal post:

My 2nd hand Optimus was an unlocked Orange UK phone, but, typical of UK carriers it has all kinds of Orange apps on it, so I have decided to have a go at resetting the ROM as if I had bought an Unlocked Sim Free phone.

Then Downloaded the 4 pieces of software in nasirahmeds instructions, is this right?.

Ive never flashed a ROM before, so is there any other guidance you can give me, Such as the LG USB driver.. should I use the CA20 or the MA20.. they both look the same. I use Win7x64.

Hi every one.

I've done a quick search on the internet about motorola's dev phone. I only found someone denying the exitence of dev phone for the M2 (on motorola dev's site.).

So, where does the dev phones running GB comes from?

One of my theorie :

Can a key combination on boot turn the phone into dev mode? (In fact, unlock it? )

I've already tested some :

The well know bootloader with the volume key.

The X key on the keyboard for the recovery mode.

The search key on the keyboard seems to have no effects, so the alt key.

Do you know other key combination?

All you're doing there is upgrading the recovery then restoring a backup for 3.2 that is rooted. No wipe needed. It just restores the files you need to be on 3.2. Once I was done it stopped nagging me to do the 3.2 update & said I was up to date.

I looked around but couldn't find anything relative to my question.

I dropped my Asus Transformer and although nothing is damaged as far as buttons, touchscreen or even the performance. The only issue is the back as a crack on it. I have searched on Google and have had no luck but I'm looking for the back cover and maybe the frame of the transformer. I know it's easy to replace as everything is just a unscrew and pop it off. I have all the tools necessary just no luck finding the back cover and border frame.

So my question is does anyone know where I might be able to find the frame or back. I know these devices are in such high demand that Asus probably hasn't developed parts for it. Also the warranty doesn't cover "mishandling" of the device.

Any info would be grateful. Thanks guys!

I guess in the worst case scenario where you can't find a replacement part or get them to fix it for you or return it... you could always get one of those silicone or whatever cases? The ones where you put a hard cover on the back of the device? It'd cover up the crack.
