my 149 touchpad has a sim card slot i can pop out... is this normal??
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] cellneuron:
good joke.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] AustinTylerDean:
It does. At first I thought it was an SDHC slot, but it's a plastic, hinged piece that was designed to hold a SIM card. Apparently they canned the feature?

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] cellneuron:
they do have two versions, one of which has gsm 4g plus gps, but the gsm version is never released.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Flippy125:
They were going to have it on ATT and they probably decided to go cheap by using the same shell
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Laramie1997:
Mine has the same thing but if you look hard, the piece does not come out and there is no real place where a SIM card could go. Also, look at both sides of the pop out- On the back side you will see that the little card has the typical part number and serial number that isn't stamped anywhere else on the tablet.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] phobos512:
OP - Ditto, mine has it also.

0:35. Obviously didn't go forward into production but too late to re-tool the molds. I suspect the tray has a pop-up feature to keep it from being pulled out of the case.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apollostees:
So this is my first tab and I've noticed that there seems to be a pre-boot boot screen.

On many roms it is the plan looking "android" line that appear in between the the VS birds and whatever your boot animations is.

Question:

I know how to change my boot animation. I know how to change the birds logo.

But, how do you change this screen?

Can anyone help?

My Galaxy S froze today, as I reset it by taking the batt off, it would get past the loading Galaxy S screen.

I cannot get it either into recovery or download mode, i have tried every combo you can, dropped batt and in whilst holding buttons, I have tried inserting pc usb whilst doing the same, surely if its loading its recoverable, not sure about this jig thing??

Would rather fix it now!

Pls help guys n gals
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Some phones didn't have recovery or download mode working from factory. Mine was like that but applied a fix just in case to avoid any future problems such as yours.

Seems like a jig is your only hope now. They go pretty cheap on eBay but if you can't wait then you can make one youself if you know how.

Good luck!

Plug phone into PC, if it still works you can force it into recovery or download mode by using ADB

Since this is the OP's first post, it might be a good idea to include a link to where ADB is explained.

The jig is cheap on eBay. I was hesitant of getting one when I was on eClair, but it has worked each and every time that I've used it.

Just find a seller that has sold a few with positive feedback, but yeah I got into download mode no problem using it where I was "totally locked out" before like where you are at... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drift spunk:
Ignore the jig options because it is stupid and the adb option is better and easy! Search it to activate download and recovery then flash a gingerbread rom then galnet, you'll then wanna make sweet love to your galaxy
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ata1918:
I was in the same situation a year ago, I couldn't make jig and it would take a nother day so I did the following:

Took a hairdryer , took the batt out of the phone, and used the hairdryer on the phones back(where the batt should be), then I think I placed the batt back, and applied the hairdryer again and it went into download mode !

If this doesn't work, just make or get a JIG, if you don't trust it , take ya phone to a Samsung Service Center (I'm lucky there's one 10km from my house)

Good luck !

[LG Optimus 3D] Beriaru:
I just flunked my data partition installing Tasker 1.1

Firm 10d, no root.

Has anybody any version of Tasker installed? Or is it just incompatible with the LG ROM?

After re-installing all my apps, re-configuring all my accounts and shouting blasphemies after finding I had lost all my saved games, I don't want to try again.

And yes, I know about Titanium Backup. I didn't think i needed it before rooting and playing with it.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
I use tasker and it installed perfectly. No problems with installation.

Only problem I have is getting the data network to turn off.

It should be compatible with the rom, and did you get your problem during installation or was it a profile you created?
[LG Optimus 3D] DigiMagic:
Tasker generally works, except:

- some 'switches' don't work (data connection, GPS, tethering, maybe more)

- if you give Tasker root permissions, that might cause infinite reboots

The last issue is not Tasker's fault, it seems to apply to any widget or background service.
[Touch HD General] MrMoo232:
Hi,

i have a htc touch hd with energy rom installed, i have read about the volume problem with this rom but i would like to make sure this is software related before i got any further, anyway heres my problem - as soon as i switch the phone on, everything loads then the volume up button presses itself constantly, causing the phone to constantly beep, if i then restart the phone, it vibrates 3 times and fails to come on, i have to remove the battery for a minute or so to get the phone back on then the same happens again.

so i installed the latest version of energy rom and it still happens except the volume control screen has been removed so now whenever im in a menu or drop box, it constantly changes the selected item to the option above (as if im physically pressing the volume up button).

is this software related or is the volume button physically broken.

the reason i ask before trying the patch is because the phone will need reflashin to be able to install the patch (because it will not work with the vol button stuck) and if i reflash with a stuck volume button it might crash and brick the phone. if its a hardware fault i am capable of fixing it myself.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I've been keeping track of fake 32gb micro sdhc from china. Months ago, they came as no name cards. Then a couple months ago they started arriving with brand names like kingston and sandisk.

These are actually 4 or 8 gb cards that they had modified to be read as 32gb.

If you do a search on amazon, you will find many of these cheap cards being sold as sandisk, kingston, etc. And guess what, dumbasses have been putting lots of 5 star reviews because all they did was put the card in their phone and the phone read it as 32 gb. These dumbasses never even bothered to test out their cards first before doing a review.

The easiest way to test out if you got a genuine 32 gb card or not is try to fill it all the way up with large media files and then try to play the files from the card.

As you can tell, I am very disturbed by the fake products that China is producing and flooding our damn economy with.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
I guess this is the 21st century version of "me chinese, me play joke, me put pee pee in your coke".

I only buy from Amazon, none of the third party vendors. Not 100% safe, but easier to deal with for returns. I suppose always using a credit card with a good "buyer protection" policy would help too.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
What really pisses me even more is the fact that the chinese government almost never do anything to stop these activities until the international community at large say something. Look at the plastic rice fiasco, for example. The damn chinese gov didn't do poop until the taiwanese news reported on the finding. Plastic eggs, foods made from cardboards, etc. Fake apple stores.

Please understand I'm not dissing everything that is made in china. I am dissing the chinese gov for not stopping these downright immoral practices.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
My 32gb card from a data has been great. Got for a nice price off newegg
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
And?

I'm not saying all 32gb cards out there are fake. But because the online market is currently being flooded with these fake cards, people need to test out their cards first before they do a review. My complaint in the OP is that if you go through and read people's reviews, they gave 5 stars simply because they put it in their phone and the phone says 32 gb. If you then look at the 1 star reviews, there are a bunch of people reporting they couldn't put more than 4gig or so of data. And the transfer rate is extremely slow.

The point is test out your cards first before you do a review.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I've never bought anything bad from Amazon or any of their vendors. Also, Prime is the best!
[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
Not to point out the obvious, but there is a reason goods are cheaper from China.

No offense meant, but you want cheap goods with industrialized quality control.

When China reaches the level of regulation of the industrialized nations with their products, they will no longer be cheap.

The solution is pretty simple, quit buying from a country known for their low quality, if quality is truly a concern.

I think you mean, people who try and save a couple bucks buying from China should test them to make sure they aren't getting ripped off.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Alot of the reviews are pulled together from just being a micro sd, Hopefully anyone on the fence will checkout newegg I'm not advertising but like you reading those amazon reviews it felt like a gamble hitting that buy button.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I've reported to amazon several instances where sellers were trying to sell fake products with no brand name. Amazon actually took those down, so kudos to them. That was months ago. Nowadays, they have gotten smarter and actually put reputable brand names on their microsd cards.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Yea, the most anyone can do is test their cards and report the seller if they're bad. Unfortunately, as an earlier poster mentioned, China won't do anything to them unless a major corporation(Apple) or a government threatens them. Not to mention they rack in god knows how much, fifty thousand or so maybe, in sales, shut down and make a new business. I live in Mexico for the time being and it's interesting how easy it is to drop off the governments radar here, I imagine China is worse.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
A few months ago I bought a 32Gb SDHC card from this Finnish eBay-like site. The seller had good reputation and the cards weren't noname-brand ones so I had no reason to suspect anything. But when I received the package something on the package seemed off, it wasn't how the real manufacturer packages their cards. I obviously checked the card out and turns out it was actually a 1Gb one, the firmware on it had just been modified to report 32Gb instead and to silently drop all data written past 1Gb, just reporting success to the OS.

I got my money back as the rules on the site state, and when as it turns out, the seller didn't either know that these cards were fakes. He had bought them from some Chinese entity and had apparently been lied to. The sad thing is that he had sold already a few hundred of them and now had to get back in touch with all those customers, re-pay them, and well, who knows how many customers actually lost their data because of these fakes?

Humans are greedy and willing to screw over anyone just to gain something themselves :/
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Could this be happening to those lost files

This is just a thought. Several threads in both this "General" and the "Themes" forums have over the past weeks been complaining about losing files from their sd cards. Various explanations have been put forward and some no doubt have been valid but is it not possible that people are unknowingly buying these chinese fake sd cards and like poster "WereCatf" were having data apparently written to the card but this in fact was not happening after say 1Gb, but were silently dropping files and data but falsely reporting "good" transfers to the card?

I appreciate this doesn't solve the problem but it may give some understanding to those who are losing files?
[Acer Iconia A500] EvoTastic:
best practices.

"If it looks like it's too good to be true, then usually it is" That's how I go about my purchases online. I can understand finding a good deal. I always find them, but if it is an unheard of deal, then BUYER BEWARE. The reason it would be an unheard of deal because it likely still will be after you discover you have been scammed. Common sense is what you really need to use when purchasing online.

Hi,

Microsoft's myphone service was discontinued at the start of the month, replaced by skydrive. Windows phone 7/7.5 will be able to sync with this but AFAIK other windows phone 6.x has been left out of the game.

I used to use myphone a lot to backup everything, ever since I had a little incident, trying to sync to a new PC with active sync, deleted an old pairing and lost most of my contacts.

Is there anyway to get WinMo 6.x to play with any of the new microsoft services, or should I be moving to some 3rd party app now?

Be interested to get everyone's feedback.

Cheers

I bought a GT-I5801 Mobistar (Orange) branded phone. I would also like to remove the branding. Can I use any 5800 rom on this phone or should I use a 5801 rom, because there seem to be much less 5801 roms. Even official ones.

I didn't make any backup and started the deoxing process from dharam's ultimate guide.

At step 4 I received an error. So the phone is somewhat partly deoxed.

Now my phone isn't connecting with Kies anymore. It did so before.

How can I solve this? Is this bad?

Also I can't gain root acces. I tried superonclick and some method with ADB I found on androidforums to no avail.

Well, you can't root your phone with super one click when you're using android 2.1, eclair.
