MW3 is the CoD where people are finally realizing how rehashed the game is. I had people in Kmart all night talking about how it is essentially just a map pack for MW2. They even reused buildings from CoD4. Lolololol

[LG Thrill 4G] EnderXXI:
Hey all,

I have looked through this forum and others looking for an answer to my predicament. This issue seems to only be affecting me, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

First, I am using the Thrill 4G with the stock ROM.

The SD Card is a PNY 32GB HC class 10.

I keep my music on my external SD Card. I would create multiple playlists. Connect my phone to my computer (I've tried 4 different ones). Add music. Eject the device, turn off USB Mode. At first it started with some of the songs not being in some of the playlists. Sometimes it would even leave just one song (the last one I added in one case). Now if I turn on USB Mode while connected to my computer and eject it and turn off USB Mode... all the playlists are empty.

I've used Power Amp (v1.4 and 2.0), the stock player, Amazons MP3 app and others.

I have done the Factory Data Reset a couple of times.

I have

not

done the reset with holding the 3D+volume down+whatever to reset it though.

The only other thing I haven't tried is to put the original 8GB card that came with the phone back in and see what happens, but I am pretty sure if I do that my playlists will be empty again when I put the 32gigger back in.

At this point I have work-arounds for getting music and data to my phone (cloud drive), but I am very afraid of connecting the phone to my computer and turning on USB Mode.

Any ideas would be helpful especialy if you have seen this kind of thing before.

Thanks!
[LG Thrill 4G] manske90:
I noticed one of my playlists got emptied as well. Just one of the bigger ones though (my luck...) because another one wasn't affected. I don't know what exactly I did to cause it to happen. That never happened to me on any other phone. I'm just using the stock music player.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Believe it or not, Ejecting the drive from my computer before unmounting is what has caused this issue for me. Ive found if I just unmount usb storage from the phone itself and then unplug it all is well. I know the phone warns to Eject via the computer properly first, but its caused me data loss almost everytime Ive done it.
[LG Thrill 4G] EnderXXI:
So I took the plunge this morning and did as you suggested. The playlists are empty again, but PowerAmp did put the playlists in the file-based playlists area. So now they are all "artist.m3u8". The good news is that I don't have to recreate them all again. The bad news is the way PowerAmp handles playlists now in v2.0, I also have "artist 1.m3u8" "artist 2.m3u8". Back top good news again, I can live with this. Just gotta figure out the best way to deal with it.

Thanks.
[LG Thrill 4G] DeXel55:
How do you exactly create playlists on your computer? Have you tried some sync software on PC like songbird with MSC and Device addon + anything but stock player (Google Music works for me). I didn’t test that on Thrill 4G yet, but it works perfect on my SGS2
[LG Thrill 4G] EnderXXI:
The ones I have now I created in PowerAmp (which now has it's own way of doing playlists in v2.0). I have tried WinAmp, Amazon, the stock player and a couple of others. It used to remove some or all of the songs, but now it just always removes all the songs.

Test: created ACDC playlist in Amazon, plugged phone into computer, usb mode on\off, unplug, no songs... Oops, Spoke too soon. After PA and the system finished it's scaning of the SD card, the songs were there, twice. Adding songs in from another artist that I did not have a playlist for previously shows all the songs in Amazon and now the stock player is showing this artist after it scanned. PowerAmp (of course) does not and now all the playlists that I had created before are populated in Amazon and the stock player. Crazy.

Songbird looks really nice, but no equalizer or pre-amp which is one reason I like PA so much.

Here it is a couple hours later and I haven't even posted this... Well, I give up. I beleive it was an issue with PowerAmp so I am using PlayerPro now. Very nice design. A few extra features. No problem with playlists (knock on wood). Has a 10 band equalizer. Just what the Dr. ordered.
[LG Thrill 4G] droiddddd:
I found a fix to the problem!

Download the disable service app from the playstore, go to Media Storage under System apps and disable the MediaScannerService.

This does, however prevent the device from scanning for new media, so if you want new songs to show up in your device, re-enable the MediaScannerService and reboot.

EDIT: It seems that this app disabled the Media Storage from running on boot. Startup manager fixed it.

Yahoo had 1,000,000+ downloads along with Yahoo mail and Yahoo messager both are more popular than bing anything.

Bing only had 100,000+ downloads.

Microsoft is not a "Top Developer"
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
You can say that again ;)
[Epic 4G General] Sohip:
from looking at the attached the pictures...

Yahoo's app was released on May 25th 2011, while Microsoft App was released on October 7th 2011... That's a five and half months difference between the two.

Which explains why Yahoo's app got more downloads and eventually recognized as a top developer.

So in Short... nothing to see here folks, move along.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
I brlieve that is when the latest update came out
[Epic 4G General] Sohip:
Ohh, I think you are right, it's the update date not the upload one.

...but still Yahoo's app has more downloads than Bing?
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
Don't see why this would surprise anyone... Yahoo! has more of a portal reputation than Bing, which is mostly just search to the average consumer. There's also the simple fact that Yahoo! Mail is, I believe, the number one web-based email provider in the US (Gmail has an embarrassing fraction of its userbase). If you could reason that a giant chunk of Android users go to Yahoo on a regular basis, it makes sense that many would also use Yahoo apps. There's an enormous misconception in the tech savvy community that Yahoo is a dead last-gen service that "nobody uses anymore". The tech savvy aren't necessarily all that aware of reality, after all.

No worries, though. I assure you, Google likes Microsoft enough to throw Exchange support in without asking first.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Wouldn't this actually mean that Google lacks respect for Microsoft because they -didn't- ask first?
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
Does the Yahoo app comes preloaded on any devices to potentially pad their downloads? Not a big fan of Bing, but I like their Windows app.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
I wouldn't say an EMBARASSING fraction, but yes, Yahoo Mail is #1 in the USA and Hotmail is #1 worldwide.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrovay2003:
I'm looking into installing this kernel, which can also be found here on XDA:

http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/10/unity-kernels-for-evo3d-and-mt4gs.html

My problem is that I don't want my phone overclocked -- In fact, the ONLY reason I'm installing the kernel is to get the two-way call recording working. Do kernels like this automatically overclock, meaning I'll have to get SetCPU to underclock it back to the default, or does it stay clocked at the level the phone started at, and I'd have to overclock automatically?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
No, they do not overclock automatically.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrovay2003:
Excellent, thank you very much for the quick response. I'm assuming that if a kernel comes with a clock speed, that's what it could POTENTIALLY be overclocked to, correct?

Again, thank you very much -- I'm very new at all this.

If anyone has a chance to switch to the sgsII skyrocket do it...I love this phone...so fast and smooth and reaches faster speeds on my hspa+ network than the infuse did. on the infuse i was lucky to reach 3 mbps now i reach almost 6 mbps and 1.5 up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
I would have to agree. Just made the switch.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] L_E_O:
Ditto. It was a tough call because I still would love to see the GSM Galaxy Nexus, but I couldn't resist.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
how's the battery life?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Agreed. The Infuse is an awesome phone, but if you are thinking about upgrading/have the upgrade/funds, do it. You won't regret it.

The phone is faster and smoother, has a better feel in your hands, the speaker is even louder and clearer, and battery life (somehow) is even better.

I am in love with this phone just like I was the Infuse when I got it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
I'll possibly be getting it soon, hopefully.

I can't wait to get it honestly, I've wanted it since it was announced, and I'm going to an AT&T store to play with it today, and hell, if I had $150 right now, I'd open a new line, get it, pop my SIM in there, and have a new phone. xD
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
I'm running 12.47 down 1.46 up on infuse running bigs Max rom. Also have skyrocket and with tweaked infuse they run neck and neck but the skyrocket is a awesome phone to say the least.

With cm7 on my phone, its faster and more stable then my friends gs2 on tmobile, lol. Skyrocket seems good, but if the galaxy nexus is lte on att then I'm going with that for some quick updates lol and the best development.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rubb3rDuckyy:
Hey guys, I just got my new GS2 this afternoon and i'm enjoying it a lot but there is a HUGE problem: the battery! I've been charging for the last hour or so and the percentage has only gone up by about 10% also, the entire phone is really warm/hot especially for doing simple things such as checking email and browsing android market. I checked the battery usage stats and it says 57% is due to display! This is even though I set the brightness to the lowest possible, turned off auto-rotate, no live wallpapers, no animations, etc.

Has anyone else had this problem/know how to fix this? Thanks a bunch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Try shutting it off and take the battery out. After it's cooled off some put the battery back in, turn it on, and try charging it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rubb3rDuckyy:
Just tried what you said, didn't work: charging for 10 minutes left it still at 67%. I started charging it at around 5pm or so at 28%, and now it's 9pm at 67%....what gives? that's an average of under 10%/hour.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Is this a sgh i777 or i727 skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Sometimes first charges can take awhile. You won't be really able to tell if there's an issues until after a few charge and drain cycles.

Not an answer you're looking for I know. A draw back of a new smart phone.

But keep an eye on the heat. Download a temperature app so you can check to see if it's getting too hot. 50+ celcius is not good. Can damage the battery at those temps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rubb3rDuckyy:
it's the SGH i777

Thanks for the information, didn't know that the first charge was any different from the other charges. Right now, I have a fan just blowing on my phone so I think the temp should be fine for now :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucas.scott:
Hey guys , i swear i just saw this the other day , but after searching , i cannot find it . How do I get back from Official Mango to Nodo ?

Also , I would like to make a backup , but the program i used to get on the Mango betas is no longer working . What is the preferred method of backing up in case something goes wrong ? I remember having to have Zune 4.7 installed to do anything before , is that still the case?

Whenever i try running my backup tool i get a message saying my Windows Phone Support Tools must be updated to VER 4.8 . Im pretty confused as to how i get back to nodo . Thanks for any help you guys can supply me with .
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Ok, the falling-over-easy way to restore a backup is go into the Zune software, Settings -> Phone -> Update. There's a button there to restore the update.

If there isn't a button there, your backup was put somewhere unexpected. It needs to be under "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update" for Zune to see it.

The "backup at any time" tool still works, but you do have to make sure you have the correct component versions. Microsoft no longer ships UpdateWP.exe, but you can still find downloads of it online. You need matching versions of UpdateWP.exe (from the v1 of Windows Phone Support Tools, *NOT* the v2) and Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucas.scott:
Hey man , after MANY hours of trying to get Mango Interop Unlocked and talking to Heathcliff74 ... here is where im at :

I am currently at 7403 Interop Unlocked . I followed Heathcliffs directions to a T . I will post them here and let you know where i had my issue .

Download U2M7720 v1.2 by Ansar. Install it on your Nodo Device and run it.

In the U2M7720 app tap on "U2B2

Then tap "OK" (circled button at bottom).

Then tap "Done".

Then tap "Unlock" (this will apply Interop Unlock).

Now update your device to 7403 Beta, using Zune.

When the update is finished, open Connection Setup (you can download it from the marketplace if you don't have it).

Tap on "OK".

Open the U2M7720 app again.

Tap on "U2B2".

Tap on "OK".

Tap on "Done".

Tap on "Unlock" (this will reapply Interop Unlock).

Update to Mango RTM, using Zune.

When the update is ready, open Connection Setup again.

Tap on "OK".

Open the U2M7720 app again.

Tap "DoNotU2B2".

Tap on "OK".

Let Zune update again.

When Zune is ready, open Connection Setup for the last time and tap "OK".

The underlined part is where i am having issues . After getting to 7403 , i sideload Connection setup , because while it was in my official mango market , it was not there when i rolled back to nodo . After i do all the steps he said , i go to update via zune to get back to mango rtm ....and it only gives me the option to go to 7720 final build . Initially , i did that and had my homebrew stop working . Didnt shoot up exception error .. just autoclosed apps , and told me U2M7720 was revoked by MS and i should uninstall it .

I reverted back and now i am interop unlocked on 7403 ... how do i get to mango rtm so i can finish the steps? Thanks for all your help. Both of you guys are awesome .
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Yea, Heathcliff74 knows his stuff, No question. If your getting "Revoked" apps message, your unlock failed or you hit your App limit (Dev unlock EDU gets 3 sideload, Dev, $99 gets 10). This can happen after rolling back or other updates.

Re-unlock your phone and make sure you put in the reg keys for unlmited sideload and prevent re-lock. That should get you up and running.

You should not need the RTM version any more(your a Verizon user, same as me) as you can't get it any more. The "retail" version is pretty much the EXACT same thing accept for the firmware (7720.68 is 7720.68, just the firmware and radio gets updated on our Trophys).

If you follow the process of using the Connection setup and running after every upgrade(replacing the proxml file after every use), it should give you a Interop unlock with unlimited sideload, like I have.

The upgrade to Mango "Final" works the same way as Mago RTM does. It will upgrade you 2-3 times depending on the version your on.

What are you trying to do ? Getting back to NoDo would only be good if you didn't get a correct unlock and you want to attempt to fix it but, I don't see any other reason to get back besides that.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucas.scott:
I rolled back to nodo because I think my unlock was lost when I got to mango . So I rolled back and have now made my way back to 7403 interop unlocked . You're saying from here I simply update to official mango via Zune ,then run connection setup when mango update completes ?

Also .. What do I edit to get unlimited sideloads ? And what are the keys ? I would have to do that prior to the mango update right ? Sorry for all the questions ,but I'm so close I can taste it haha , and you're the only person I know tat has pulled this off on Verizon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] binaryhat:
This guide is to show you how to mount network shares using the CifsManager and cifs module for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Please read and follow all instructions and I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

Requirements:

Any custom ROM using Pershoot's kernel

Superuser access (should be included on a custom ROM because you are rooted)

The CifsManager from Market

The Android Terminal Emulator from Market

The cifs module--->http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/kernels/2636/23/lib-2636.4.tar.gz

Steps:

1. Extract lib-2636.4.tar.gz on your computer

2. Navigate to lib/modules/2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+/kernel/fs/cifs/

3. Copy cifs.ko to a folder on your tablet (/mnt/sdcard/cifs/ or create a folder that you want)

4. Make sure the CifsManager has the correct path to the location of the cifs module in Settings (e.g. /mnt/sdcard/cifs/ or the folder you created)

5. Launch Android Terminal Emulator

6. Type su (make sure it changes from a $ to #, if it fails check the Superuser app)

7. Type cd /path/that/you/created (e.g. cd /mnt/sdcard/cifs/)

8. Type insmod /path/that/you/created/cifs.ko (e.g. insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs/cifs.ko)

9. Verify module load, Type lsmod

10. Should be good to go!!

Any questions, let me know!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Taransworld:
Ummm...

I don't think steps 5-10 are needed. If you copy the cifs.ko to your SD card and then check "Load cifs module" and check "Load via insmod" and then set the path correctly it works without the rest.

Maybe your way is doing something different?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mabalito:
Yes exactly, loading the kernel module is exactly what cifsmanager is for.
