no my friend, sync services is not the same as backup settings.

You can set sync sevices (contacts, calendar, mail, music, etc) in "Account and Sync" menu and set backup data (wallpapers, settings, wi-fi passwords, etc) in "Pricacy" menu.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
you can also import your contacts from the gmail page via the desktop browser. press contacts and all your contacts are there.
[Nexus S General] Bls440:
Wonderful. Thank you guys for your answers :)
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
You can't really delete the WLAN settings, apps you had installed, wallpaper settings etc once they are in the cloud, you can just choose to not have them applied or restored. Deleting your Google account would anonymize those settings after a period of 6(?) months.

I tried to put one on the internal storage yesterday and the phone doesn't see it. If I put in an sd card, then the phone sees it. I have tried just the blank file as well as /media/ringtones.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
When connected to your PC, copy your ringtones to the root of the "Phone" partition. That is where mine are, and they show up fine.

Also, make sure its media/audio/ringtones, not media/ringtones. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyboy1100:
oh, it is media/audio/ringtones. I will try to move it to the phone partition
[Acer Iconia A500] Falkner09:
so it was my understanding that an innate ability of 3.1 was that it allowed us to plug in controllers, including PS3 and 360, and play witht hem. I plugged in my PS3 controller, expecting some sort of "input detected" message, but nothing. theredoesn't seem to be anything in the settings to configure or connect a device, either.

how do we do this? I know there are some emulators that have released updates with controller compatibility in the changelog.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
As far as i kmow you camt connect a 360 controller. To connect a ps3 controller u need sixaxis controller. Its a paid app in the market.
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
I connected my wireless xbox360 controller using the PC dongle. I never got any message, it just worked. There are videos showing how to do it.
[Acer Iconia A500] iixiom:
I can also confirm if you plug in a usb xbox 360 controller it works almost instantly
[Acer Iconia A500] cachedfailure:
Using the xBox wireless usb adapter for PC to play emulators on my a500 3.1. Works like a charm.
[Acer Iconia A500] LionAR10:
The app to support the PS3 Sixaxis controller is only needed if you use it over bluetooth. It works without that program plugged in by USB. Bluetooth support is cool, but you need a PC as part of the pairing process for the controller.

Doing something with the controllers is something different though ... most emulators allow you to map the controller keys to the game, but you need to set them up in the emulator.
[Acer Iconia A500] curse4444:
does anyone have any tips on disabling the home and back keys on the android while using a different input method? I connected s wired xbix 360 controller to my tablet and I can bind some buttons for emukators but other buttons on the controller are bound to home and back so when I try and use those bbuttons in the emulator they either close or worse I can't even bind the buttons because I'm pressing back. I also am unable to use the right thumbstick for input. Any suggestions and/or help?
[Acer Iconia A500] yeawhatever:
Use an app called bt/USB joystick controller (just search "joystick" in market.) Its a paid app but about 60p and well worth it. I use it with my wired and wireless Xbox pad.

It has custom profiles for all different pads and means all ure buttons work. The UI isn't massively clear but once its set up its a doddle You basically tell ur device that input method is not touch screen keyboard, but instead your pad.

Best part is that I use my pad for some proper games (ie not emulators) and its great. Gta is awesome on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] curse4444:
Awesome app but I'm having troubke configuring my analog sticks would you ir anyone happen to have a driver for a wired 360 controller appsrentky you can export profiles.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I was surprised that a ps3 controller when plugged in with the USB and it just worked
[Acer Iconia A500] yeawhatever:
I just loaded up the standard control profile for wired 360 pad. Analogue sticks work fine though I think it treats them as digital. Did see there was option for some analogue settings within the program
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I think he os asking you to export your setting for the wired 360 to load up on the ps3 controller. If not idblike to see it to try onlive with it
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Many games, including Grand Theft Auto III have built-in coding for controllers. I plugged my PS3 controller in and it worked perfectly.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Yeah but onlive does not, I'd love to throw money at them, but i own three wireless controller s and really don't feel like getting another one
[Acer Iconia A500] Simplified:
Does it matter if you're on a custom ROM or OC'd? I couldn't get my PS3 controller to work on GTA 3 using the Epiphany ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I might be wrong but the gamepad support comes from the kernel. Maybe inquire with the Dev, just a question are you plugging the ps3 in with USB?
[Acer Iconia A500] TheScoby:
Wireless

Has anybody tried connecting a wireless controller? (in a fashion similar to how you'd connect a wireless controller to a PC)
[Acer Iconia A500] HMG10:
I can hook the wireless dongle for xbox360 controller up and get some functionality with the controller, but the thumbsticks won't work in gta3. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AndreCustodio56:
Hi all,

I've been a member on XDA developers for a long time, had an XDA exec a long time ago, haven't had anything since though.

I've just got myself a HTC Mozart so I'm new to the windows phone scene. Just wondering what is the best way to upgrade to unlocked mango. I'm on OS 7004.

I've seen the [DFT Freedom ROM] Mango 7720 Custom ROM, don't know how to flash it though. Also came across this cellbull.com/download-windows-phone-7-5-mango-rom-for-htc-hd7/

Any help on how I would get unlocked mango on my device would be much appreciated.

Thanks for Looking.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kdskamal:
You can upgrade directly to Mango using method described here. Keep in mind that it will destroy all data stored on your device. You can easily install apps later on by using your marketplace account. Just make sure to back up your PIM data before you proceed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AndreCustodio56:
Thanks but I managed in the end.
[HTC Sensation] peecee78:
hello

For last few hours i try to find software to transfer data from my old htc hd2 to new htc sensation.

My HD2 sunk in bucket of paint (still works) and im getting Monday replacement from insurance company. As HD2 is discontinued they offer me HTC Sensation and here is a problem how to transfer all data like phone book messages and call logs to computer / SD and then to HTC Sensation (when new handset arrive i have to give old one to driver so all data have to backed up already)

I did search for solution but no luck :/ or im too stupid to find it.

Thnx for help
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Wow, they offered to replace your HD2 with a Sensation? Great deal.

Do you have Android installed on your HD2? It would be a lot easier then.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
i guess dropbox or box.net might help.
[HTC Sensation] peecee78:
i dont have android on my hd2 but i can flash it if it helps. Is there any way to do something like pim backup for android and windows mobile which use same file?

It is stupid i have to return old phone immediately when new arrive so i have to backup and make ready to migrate everything before i get my first android phone in to my hands :/.
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
How are you going to flash Android onto a Windows Mobile phone? They are two entirely different operating systems.

You could try backing up evrything using a WM back up app (don't know which one). But the problem would be that Android would probably not be able to read the back up because it is a different system.

Contacts and your diary would be easy enough if you have a google account. Just transfer them from your phone to your google account (I think you can do that with WM phones). When you start the Sensation you will be prompted to give your google account name and password. You can then sync all your contacts and diary back again to the Sensation.

However I don't know how you are going to be able to save your texts and other data.

Take a peek in the HD2 development section.. its amazing what that phone can do.
[HTC Sensation] -=knop=-:
question still open though....
[HTC Sensation] peecee78:
looks like i will have to write down all data on paper and then retype it it to new phone :/

i shouldnt agree on this deal with android phone :/

anyway thnx
[HTC Sensation] -=knop=-:
there should be some kind of converter!!!
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Do a nandroid and restore it on Sensation:B (don't!)

Sensation asks you if you want to transfer stuff from previous phone, and so not sure how it works but might be worth a try.

Also, check if hd2 is compatible with HTC Sync or has similar sw available, it will back up fair bit of your stuff.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Peterc10......Are you seriously not aware of how long people have been flashing the Android OS onto the HD2???? The HD2 was the first phone developers used to perfect the art of flashing ROM's. The HD2 is truly iconic in the phone hacking realm.
[HTC Sensation] Dutch-Guy:
flash android on it and use my backup pro to backup and restore
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Don't be silly, he'll delete all the data if he flashes android.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Call log will probably be near impossible.

Phonebook:

Easiest way is to sync with an Exchange Server. Even Gmail can be set up as an exchange server. So sync your HD2 now with Gmail & then your new Sensation.

Another option is to use an called "Transfer" that is built into the Sensation that will transfer your contacts through Bluetooth easily.

SMS:

Chech this or this.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
If you have outlook you can sync your contacts & calendar with it. That's the only thing tho.

For SMS just back them up, I wasn't able to find a way to import them.

Any pictures & whatnot should be in your storage card so just swap those over.

@peterc10 the hd2 can do Android, windows phone 7, Meego, Ubuntu, & windows mobile. Best phone ever

Hi ,

I am using GingerDX v14 re-up {for mini pro} and whatever I try, I cannot get full access to the android market. Neither all my (paid) application are showing up on My apps nor can I find them with the search function on the market. Strange thing that some apps are available, some not.

I am using Market build version 3.1.5 (tried it with 3.0.27 as well), did all types of reboot, new installs and factory resets etc.

No success :mad:

Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention that I used GingerDX (based on MiniCM7) v11 with market 3.0.27 without any problem, all my apps available, everything available on market.

Tried all the mentioned things in advance, unfortunately no progress. Did a little bit of reading on the Market App internet site. Missing apps in my apps are ( perhaps not a common but nevertheless existing ) known problem. So far no solution.

So, two options, I am one of the unlucky ones or there is some kind of problem with this specific GingerDX v14 and my device as the App Market works like a charm with GinTonic 2.0. So I will stay with it and give GingerDX another try after one or two updates.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

GingerDX v14 and Android Market

quotes from android market support site:

The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Android Market is an application created by Google that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install Android Market on their devices.

Furthermore (and that is what happens to me)

Some users have reported that when searching in the Android Market app, they get a large number of results, but they're unable to scroll beyond the first page of those results. We're aware of this issue, and we're currently investigating.

and

We're aware of reports from some users that several applications are missing under "My Apps" on their devices, and we're currently looking into the issue.

The latter two are unsolved issues and are under investigation. But still possible that there is a problem with compatibility requirements as it only happens with GingerDX v14/v15. As I mentioned, others like GinTonic or MiniCM7 Pro working without any problems. So my advice is switching to a working system/ROM and wait for further updates of GingerDX.
