[XPERIA X10 General] tarzan2003:
already tried all those suggestions.

connecting x10 to computer and mounting usb storage didn't work too.

I can see the drive letter but I can't access it.

I can access sdcard files/folders using another phone.

and I can access it via adb shell too.

made a file copy via adb shell and it worked.

so it seems the sdcard is ok.
[XPERIA X10 General] tarzan2003:
Problem solved

Solution:

had to install gingerbread ready xRecovery 0.3

used option A: in this post from zdzihu

I made an sdcard backup using another card-reader before.

I thought it would delete all sdcard content... but I was wrong.

thanks anyway

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
So picked this phone up yesterday and so far the major issues i've come across are:

Random touch screen issue - I'll use the phone normally for a while but sometimes when i'm playing a game (NOVA... which i deleted now) or strolling through a menu (happened in olive tree reader and the amazon store) a small area of the screen will spaz out... it's also happened on the stock lock screen and then persisted a few seconds after I rebooted to get rid of the issue. It's annoying because just as soon as I'm ready to chalk it up as a fluke or some random app issue... it shows up again somewhere else. Now.. this isn't during "one handed operation".. the device is in my left hand.. no fingers on the screen... using my right index finger to do the navigating.

Quite a few apps just don't work - all of my gameloft stuff, Age of Zombies, the video creator app (Samsung... your own freeking app?!?), and a handfull of others either crash immediately, don't start, or crash after seemingly opening just fine. Sidenote... so after a night off it's feet Age of Zombies is working this morning.

signal issues - the reception on this phone it utterly attrocious. I'll go from 5 bars (never the full 6) down to 2 without moving... which means it's a grip issue. I've cupped the bottom portion of the phone (around where the capacitive buttons and the back "lip" are) and watch my signal degrade while removing my hands brings that signal right back... also.. i'm ONE ROOM over from my wireless router and the signal hovers around none to 2 bars on the wifi indicator... HOWEVER... now that I'm at work.. i'm on my corporate wifi.. great reception... cell strength? 5 or 6 bars.... what the feezy.

So.. in a nutshell are these issues normal? should I return this for another unit? I absolutely LOVE this phone... as a pda. It's fast, i dig the large screen, i heart android and touchwiz is actually kinda cool so i may not root this thing with all that said it's just been a little unreliable and I need to be sure that this device will work when i need it to.

Thanks for the input guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Reception is a known problem that sprint has acknowledged, they say they are working on a fix.

The screen spazzes out when charging, if it is spazzing out at other times your phone is not normal.

Apps crash sometimes when I start then, but restarting the app usually works fine.

All mobile OS's are beta because they are young. In the 90s windows was even more unstable, and became more stable with time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
Ok.. so the only REAL issue i have is the crashing apps... which will hopefully get better over time then?

Your response was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to address my concerns
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
The screen spazz thing ( if not on stock charger ) is enough to make me go in and exchange it. Mine has none of the probs you have
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
If you have probs with apps crashing, try a factory restore. Also check when the app was last updated by the dev, it may just be out of date and written for 2.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
It's not likely to be an outdated app, these were all apps I was using (successfully) on my G2x, until I sold it and bought the GS2 the same day.

I'm glad to know these are KNOWN issues that either have reasonable workarounds or are being worked on. I can deal without games, all of my essentials (productivity apps) are working. Thanks people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
oh yeah... also, heading to the local sprint store in a minute to test out this theory.. i do remember that i was charging while playing deathworms when it spazzed on me... the lock screen as well, but whenever i messed with the in store demo units... no problems. I may get an exchange anyway though. Thanks!

how do i get the crashing to stop please im a the beta .. and would like to test the newest release

I thought the samsung felt cheap... I like the weight of the amaze. Feels like a solid product
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheSneakerWhore:
Based on build quality, amaze. Samsung makes plastic toys, HTC makes quality phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] OuncE718:
I agree that HTC has very good design quality, but keep in mind that the premium build design comes with a cost. Heavy feeling device that not everybody finds comforting to hold and what feels like slight overheating because of the metals used in the design. Every device heats up with use, but because of HTC's choice of materials you feel it more than other devices such as Samsung etc.

With that being said, I do wish Samsung would step up a little bit more as far as design is concerned. Maybe using 95%

plastic with a few aluminum pieces to add a little more character. The Nexus S might be Samsung's worst looking device IMO but I loved it because of how light and easy it was to hold for long periods of time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hiazn:
I actually did all the research etc too like everyone else, I bought the Amaze on the first day, 2 days ago I returned it and got the SGS2 (blasphemy) and yesterday returned it to get an Amaze again... end of story :)

SGS was nice, some cool software features, but HTC sense just well makes sense (does everything and minimal need if any for 3rd party widgets or any real need for a 3rd party launcher). Camera compared to the Amaze's camera was sh!t. Kies Air was cool though wish HTC did something like that. battery life was fantastic on the SGS2 though. The Amaze feels just soo much better in hand...

:D

edit: dialer/etc on SGS2 looks generic compared to the polish of all the HTC software.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MRpeabodyia:
Did you have to pay the 50$ restocking fee each of your returns?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hiazn:

[HTC Amaze 4G] TheSneakerWhore:
I understand your point, but I keep/collect phones as a hobby--nary once have I kept a cheap Sammy device. I'd take heavy and solid over plastic and cheap. I bet Sammy only spends $40/phone to manufacture (if even that).

*Keep in mind, that is US adjusted price, not eastern-labor prices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] linzgeneral:
I need an oven glove to use my Samsung Epic Touch, the phone gets hot to the point that I can smell the heat. This happens sporadically but especially when viewing videos.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
I got some hands on the with SGSII last night. My wife's friend bought one from Sprint yesterday. It was a quick phone. I am on my first Android device and since I have the Amaze all I really know is Sense. I found it easy to use and customize but it just felt cheap to me. She loved the fact it was light. For me though it felt like a good firm grip would crack something. I am sure it wouldn't but it just felt fragile. Performance wise it was about like the Amaze. I say total toss up / opinion between the two. I love the Amaze it gets my vote.

Oh and I have had no heat issues as all with my Amaze. My iPhone got warmer...
[HTC Amaze 4G] bladerunner0427:
I had a Samsung Vibrant and hated the GPS on that phone. The SGS2 felt like a Vibrant on steroids. Touchwiz is also kinda boring. The HTC Amaze is awesome! Great build quality and Sense UI is beautiful. Amaze also has higher resolution. Go with the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] biccio:
For me battery is important..can you tell me the difference you felt? I don't believe I will be able to go for the SGS2...it is just too wide for me and very difficult to fit it in the pocket..but the battery on the Amaze needs 3rd party softwares to arrive at the end of the day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hiazn:
I always have Bluetooth on, WiFi or 4g, and sync 2 emails every 15min, Twitter update every 30min.

With normal use for me- txt, phone calls, email, checking twitter, random use of netflix, and checking xda.. I usually jump on a charger in about

6-7hrs at 40-50% maybe. Sgs2 will just about almost double that length of time... Right now I'm at 45% after 6hrs.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] jpeiv:
The higher screen resolution is what sold me on the Amaze. The Galaxy S2 has a larger screen but a lower resolution. To me, it looked crappie next to the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MBT93:
Get HTC amaze.its much prettier better build quality better camera and HTC sense!higher resolution and what else!!Its smooth as butter too and 1.5ghz dual core not 1.2 so its nearly better in every way!apart from battery life though..
[HTC Amaze 4G] marvin02:
?? - The Galaxy SII for T-Mobile is a dual core clocked at 1.5 gHz.
[HTC Amaze 4G] katamari201:
You know what is really lame? I went to the T-mobile store and since they redesigned the place with laminate flooring and lots of space so it looks more chic they also removed every single working phone available. There was nothing but cases and accessories hanging on the walls and the only two "dummy" phones for the SGS2 and Amaze were hanging out near the entrance. There was literally no other phones, and definitely no real ones besides shells of phones. The T-mobile version of the SGS2 is much better than the ATT SGS2 and Infuse because the black is completely different with a much nicer material and is actually ergonmic since it isn't flat with a sudden hump, but instead tapers with the hump and has some thickness/ergonomics. I could not really tell if the Amaze was a premium handset or not because I could barely hold it with the giant black chastity belt. The black plastic felt nice, but I could barely tell if was metal. Since it was a dummy phone the weight was also all wrong. Well I'll be playing crapsunless I can find a way to get to the Best Buy out of town.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmurray074:
I went with the Amaze simply because I got burnt so bad with the vibrant. Samsung never addressed the faulty GPS and the the all plastic frame just feels cheap. I also used both at the T-mobile store and they are both very nice but the amaze is just elegant. Go with the amaze you won't be disappointed!

[Windows Phone 7 General] leftspeaker2000:
Hey

I was trying to find a way to store some photos on skydrive that i didant want showing up on my phone (photos of my gf ;)) I could not seem to find an option within WP7 or on the skydrive site regarding permissions but i came up with a little trick. If you create a new folder on skydrive and place a picture in it, it automatically becomes a picture folder and is synced with WP7 with is rather annoying.

To get around this place the picture in the folder and then create a random word document in the same folder, click on the folder then click on information on the right hand drive of skydrive and change it to documents. Your folder will no longer appear in the pictures hub and you can still access from Office skydrive hub which will simply link you to the skydrive webpage. Hope some of you find this helpful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
Where is the link to the SkyDrive folder ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Skydrive is not convenient at all.

When will there be a Skydrive app on WP7 ??? I wonder.

For the moment I'm staying with Dropbox + Kickbox

Anyway, thanks for this tip :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bpsmicro:
SkyDrive is handled on WP7 via the Office Hub. Open that, and go to "Locations" and SkyDrive should be there (if you set up a Live account, of course). If not, you may need to add the URL to it. But it'll work. You can also pin it to your Start if you wish, for quicker access.

Brad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
Aren't all pictures and documents you upload from your phone publicly viewable by default? Or does adding a document somehow make it available to you only?

Seems there's no way to change permissions via the WP7 Office hub.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NebZoNe:
I think wp7 ask u about your privacy choice when uploading to skydrive, can choose between anyone and only you...can also give permission to one contact especially...that's realy confortable.
[G1 General] dmsims:
At completely random places (both in recovery and rom) my G1 locks solid with the screen on and will not respond to any key

I can use Fastboot, recovery (Amon 1.7) and any ROM e.g. Super E (the latest I have tried is Froyo by Laszlo. I have not made any alterations to the ROM's

I have wiped everything (lots of times) including system

I have updated to Hboot0013d and radio to 2.22.27.08

Have bought a new Samsung SD card, partitioned and tried that

Any suggestions on where to with troubleshooting ?

TIA
[G1 General] matt.pope.universal:
Have you dropped it or gotten it wet at all? Have you tried any other ROM?

Thanks for the reply

Dropped - almost certainly, wet never

Tried several ROM's including the defanged DRC83 - all the same issue
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
Try Froyo Melt or Dream Team ROM. ;)

Update you radio to 2.22.28.25.

If anything, it might be hardware issues.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandioso:
Hey guys. I just updated my Legend to the newest stable CM (with dalvik wipe, using ROM manager) and it freezes upon booting. I can get to recovery mode and I have ADB.

What do I do ? Is there a way to flash a ROM using ADB ?

It's been a long time since I worked with this stuff.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
I don't think you can flash from ADB.

I suggest try to download the Cyanogen 7.1.0 rom again and check the MD5 after to make sure it is intact, I downloaded directly onto my phone then used ES file manager to check the MD5 # I had to download a few times because the MD5 # was not correct.

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

A quick question in your method, did you ONLY wipe the Davlik cache or did you wipe the system as well? I think you will have to wipe system & davlik when flashing a different rom.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandioso:
How do I find out if md5 is correct or not ?

More importantly, what do I do after I donwload it ? It's not like I can do anything with the phone now, except get to recovery mode and control the phone via ADB in recovery mode.

And I only wiped dalvik cache.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
I have help out someone with a similar issue here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18597552&postcount=2

If you want to check MD5 # on the computer goto google and search for a MD5 file checker, ok you might want to know what MD5 is? its a check sum, the correct check sum is on the same page you downloaded on the cyanogen website.

if you know adb commands then you could always "push" the rom zip file to the sdcard on the phone, then flash it using CWM you'll need to wipe system and davlik at the very least.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thi3um:
First try to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvikcache.

Reboot and it must be OK.

If it doesn't work download again cm7 stable, and flash it again with the 3 wipe.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandioso:
I did a "clear storage" from HBOOT, but it didn't work.

When I get into recovery, I get a screen with a red exclamation mark. I guess that means I don't have CWM recovery. I have the files on my SD card, but htey have been copied from my previous one.

So I guess I'll need to flash CWM again...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madcat340:
You must have used fake flash to flash the rom correct?

Boot it into recovery and press the vol up button and the power button together ok?

It might give you an error once but press it again and again and you'll get into android recovery ok

Then go to install update.zip and cycle down to it using vol up and down buttons and the power button to select ok

Then it should load up clock work mod and you can use the trackpad now

Select mounts and storage and select mount SD card

Then connect USB and put the newly downloaded rom on your phone and once it's completed go back and go into advance settings I think... And do wipe cache and etc... Then go on install from SD and select your rom

Hope it helped :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandioso:
I flashed the ROM from ROM manager. I had CWM, but I don't anymore, because I changed SD cards. I have come to the point where I only need the goddamn update.zip file, but I can't find it anywhere and I think I'll go mad if I don't find it NOW

EDIT: Ok, I found it. At least I did a backup of my previous SD card....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lokinmodar:
[Q] Is the "wifi not keeping connected" related to U20a version of x10minipro?

Hi all.

I installed the Ginger DX v17 rom. I installed the stock rom, wiped all data through CWM, installed GDX, the other fixes in the GDX topic, wiped all data, rebooted twice.

The wifi starts workin as i activate it but the connection stops after 5 or 10 seconds. I tried to set up the connsection manually, use static IP ans everything else but nothing seems to work.

I figured that when i install custom roms, my phone model is shown as u20i, but it is actually u20a (brazilian ver.)

If someone was able to fix this problem, please indicate me the path.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I know I am about to get alot of attacks but please try give me a honest answer.

I currently own a Galaxy tab ans although it is a great device, I am a little disappointed with the updates on it. So, I am in the market for a new tablet.

The flyer looks like a fantastic option but looking at the forums, sounds like there is not much activity on development side. If I am wrong please correct me...

I love android, but it seems that the devices reach the sale by date too soon...

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
Prices just dropped so I would imagine many will migrate....

But bigger issue is size and pen so I would never consider iPad.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] iCurmudgeon:
I'll be honest. I've had the Flyer since when they first came out, and I've yet to see a single OTA update.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lexian_za:
So... how many developers are doing work on the projects here, anyone going to work on ifs?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] manpete:
I've also had the Flyer since day 1, which in Netherlands was 17 May, and have meanwhile had three or four O/S updates.

The last update is not counted as I am now running on the beta Honeycomb rom (FlyHoney 0.02 version).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skiptodd:
I Have Both...

Ipad2 and Flyer P512 just upgraded to FLYHONEY... with that being said, my uses leads me to the flyer. I utililize the pen and with the ipad2 cap pen it wasn't good enought for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrS600L:
I've played with the iPad. My Flyer suites me more. I like the portability, & customization of Android. Haven't changed ROMs, because I've been waiting for ICS. I have had about 3 OTA updates since getting it in September. The stylus helps for note taking in meetings h lectures. I have no use for my laptop since getting the Flyer. I'm bias towards Android, but iOS is very easy to use. It boils down to your own preference. But I know the 2nd gen of Samsung Galaxy Tabs are much better than the current crop, so if you're willing to wait take your time before buying.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thetruth1983:
I have both and I think I like the Ipad a tad bit better. That's mainly because I am heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem with 4 apple tvs, 4 macs, and 2 ipads. I like the fact that the ipad is more universally supported and you can literally get a app for everything. There are some anatomy apps on the ipad that I used last semester that really helped me with my grades. One of the killer apps for the ipad is airplay. When I have company over, I can easily pull something up on the ipad and show it on any of our HDTVs. I can't let go of the flyer though because I use it to take all my math notes and lecture notes at school. If I was away from home more often, I could see myself using the flyer much more especially since it has awesome battery life. I like it because it is pocketable and I can easily make a grocery list and just throw it in my pocket with the stylus. I once tried putting my ipad in my pocket and my wife thought I was really happy to see her =)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] silverwind:
I have Flyer since first launch in my country (june 2011), there are only two (2) security update via OTA...I really want to have ICS on Flyer ....

PS. my Flyer need to be charged every night :( so power hungry while the performance is not really special
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
I tried the iPad 2 against my Flyer, and I just couldn't justify the additional $400 for the iPad 2 (not a fair comparison - really more like $300 - I had a 64gb WiFi, and my Flyer specs would be a 32gb iPad). Still, you can (or at least could - looks like it is unavailable right now) buy TWO Flyers to ONE iPad. With Magic Pens down to $39, that just made the Flyer a no brainer (although I am no longer one of the cool kids at the office anymore).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] silverwind:
It doesnt happen here in my country...

Flyer price when I bought it was very expensive Rp7,000,000 (USD777) while Ipad 2 was and is Rp8,000,000 (USD888), but Ipad 2 has 64GB and dual core cortex A9 ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dstrauss:
That definitely turns the economics upside down, and then the non-iPad manufacturer faces teh problem I have seen REPEATEDLY in Best Buy where a customer asks the same questio over and over again: "Why should I buy a Xoom/Samsung/RIM/Asus/whatever when I can get a 'REAL iPAD' for the same price or less?" Kind of leads credence to the line fo thinking that there is no "tablet" market, only an "iPad" market.
