[Windows 8 General] Gacnt:
I was under the impression everything could run under the metro style section so I removed the Internet Explorer tile (not sure if I unpinned or uninstalled it) and replaced it with google chrome to find out that brings you to the desktop and loads chrome.

I want the Windows Explorer tile back, the one that ran under the start menu framework thing. But when I go into Search > Apps, I see internet explorer, but when I pin that to the start menu tiles, it just takes me to the desktop and launches Internet Explorer, how do I find the tile that launched the app under the tiles?
[Windows 8 General] ShishirK:
I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean to say that your IE tile from the Metro UI is missing and you wish to get it back?

If it is so, this is what I did - Unpinned the IE tile, Searched for Internet on the UI, right clicked on the IE icon and said 'Pin'. I got the tile back and also rearranged it where it was originally.
[Windows 8 General] LuRNing:
I had the same problem and finally found the reason...

I had chrome set as default browser...for some reason this prevents IE from running in metro mode. So if you set IE as your default browser it should run again in metro mode.
[Windows 8 General] Aus_Azn:
The real solution is to remove IE entirely by turning it off in "Turn Windows Features on or off".

The non-trolling real solution that worked for me was to refresh my Win8 installation.

[General Questions and Answers] -sandro-:
Hello,

I've looked in the market and on in Internet and I couldn't fine an app that allows you to switch off the phone with a timer. They all allow you to stop music, wifi, connections etc when you go to sleep...but no one actually turns off the device.

So this made me think, is this a limitation of Android itself?

I'm proud to say that I am ditching my 8th & 9th G2x :D Finally fed up with T-mobile customer service, I strolled into a random Sprint store today. I had planned to pick up a free Nexus S 4G and wait for the Prime, but when I mentioned to the sales rep that I had two G2x's, she offered me a free SGSII + $150 store credit for accessories, etc. Of course, I'm still stuck paying T-mobile's $200 ETF but I still feel like I came out of this whole G2x disaster better than most.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobsterz:
Hi Guys, I have an unrooted Xperia X10a that had the rebooting issue where it restarts itself if I do heavy applications. I thought this was a software issue, so I tried to update the android software from 1.something to 2.something. However the phone rebooted in the middled of the update so now I have a dead phone. It no longer boots up (I don't even see the sony ericsson screen) and the only thing that works is holding the back button and inserting in the usb which gives me the green solid light and I hear the computer detecting it usb sounds. There's no light that turns on if I connect it through the power adapter so is there anyone who have experienced this issue that fixed it? Thanks and hopefully some of you guys will give me some solutions :)

hi..i know theres threads on this but i've read every one and tried every solution..

uninstall/reinstall drivers(directly from sammy via website)

uninstall from samsung program file folder

three diff usb cables

all ports on pc

usb settings/usb debugging

factory reset

reboot computer

win7-64 with Galaxy S 4G Tmo

when connected the phone charges, but no notification (mass storage, etc.), kies wont see it, windows doesnt even recognize i connected anything,

question is, am i missing an .apk or something? is my phone broken? id like to root and custom rom, but i dont understand why it wont connect! :mad:

my apologies if this belongs somewhere else or been answered but ive tried a dozen solutions, and if someone kindly point me in the right direction I'll hit thanks button and remove it..thank you so much!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
It sounds like a computer problem. Your firewall or antivirus may be blocking the drivers from being installed correctly (I've seen it with comodo). take them off, reinstall the drivers and try again. If not, run ccleaner and clear out the registry, then check the computer for errors, reboot and see if that helps. Just some thoughts
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cadorette:
yeah i was thinking the same thing..so i tried it on my other laptop..same deal! i am going to try your method and ill get back..thanks for the tips :)

also..a side note..i am using "media sync" micro usb cables..they work fine on my HD2, Droid 2, G2, etc...are Samsungs funny about having an "official" samsung usb cable?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Hmm. If you tried it on two different computers and it didn't work, then that may be an issue. Try what I said before and if it doesn't work, let me know. Pm me if I don't respond fast enough. I have a busy day today, so I may miss it. What rum are you running?

hey bud thanks for chugging along with me..so..changed firewall and antivirus to allow "portable devices" (it was unchecked), ran ccleaner and cleared/fixed registry, rebooted computer and uninstall/reinstall drivers, exact same issue..charges but both phone and pc act like nothing has been plugged in at all! i bought it used so im thinking maybe someone tried to do something and removed an .apk or some other file that tells it to connect? cuz the Inception movie that comes with the phone says "file not found" when i click it..pretty stumped!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
if you are trying the phone pure download mode eg boot up and put it in download mode its completly rom independant. i would also suggest trying a diffrent computer u can also use samsung kies to install the drivers :P

OK! Got it! Went to T-MO store today and purchased a cable directly from them..demanded i try it out before spending $15, instantly works..brought it home and, wham!

Im looking to get a tablet in the next month or so im looking between the samsung galaxy 10.1 or the lg optimus pad. Im leaning toward the lg though any opinions
[General Questions and Answers] Touranaga:
Throw an eye on a Sony S tablet as well.

Though if you want to stick on those 2 I would recomend the Samsung one, the color richness and depthness is better as well as pixel density (ppi).

LG are still making too crappy hardware.

And still you should consider the Sony S tablet its good hardware, great design, great display cotrast and the enhasment of the BRAVIA Engine, as well as the PlayStation integration that let you play classic games.

Yeah the sony s really catches my eye checked one out yesterday at the sony store. Its pretty nice. Its a hard decision for sure. Im keen on having 3d though.im kind of stubborn.

i currently have the samsung galaxy 10.1 wifi only. i like it, but it doesn't have everything, so think/read up on how you want to use your tablet. suggestion, when out-and-about now, think would you want to have a tablet with you and how would you use it then.

i like the 10.1, but it doesn't have external memory support other than the USB adapter, which can only read/write to a FAT32 drive. there are wifi support with Kies-wifi or 3rd party apps. if you plan to use cloud storage and cloud streaming of media, then wifi only might not be enough. i would love to have a 3G or LTE version of this tablet. obviously, if you don't plan on taken a 10" tablet out much, then wifi would be fine.

As mentioned by others, you might want to hold off a bit, as more tablets are coming out with great specs and prices.
