I can't access my Kindle fire at all. Ever since I got Cyanogen Mod 7 running the first time I haven't been able to get back into my Kindle. Thats why I need to use TWRP to transfer files, but its not working.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Draciel882:
Two weeks ago, I bought my Amaze and two days after having it I noticed it had a dead pixel that would only turn white or red. Immediately I took it back to where I bought it expecting them to just give me a new phone instead of having to ship it away to HTC. But apparently being shipped from factory with a dead pixel is not a good enough reason to declare it DOA and just replace it, so instead they sent it away and told me that it would take 2-6 weeks to come back. I'm rather frustrated and unimpressed with their service. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this better or any relating customer service experiences?
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
I've been with Telus since 1996 and have no complaints about their customer service. I can understand your frustration after only 2 weeks but I think that is pretty standard for Canadian carriers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
no way. here in US they give you 14 days if you wanna get another phone or exchange they will do it, or if you have insurance and you bricked your phone they send you another one before you send the defective one back,
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
That really sucks. If it is a warranty thing, they send you the phone first. You then have 7 days to send the old one back. If you have the extended warranty coverage, you get the phone with next day shipping.
[Android Apps and Games] Cam2505:
I am dyslexic and currently doing a superreading course. One of the key parts of the course is training your brain to take in as many words as possible per glance. To do this, we have to do "eye hop" training, by reading text that has been fragmented into columns with only 2 words in each column. As you get better you start to add more and more words to each column.

There is a website here: http://www.superreading.com/hopify/ that converts normal text into this format. This has the obvious advantage of being able to combine the training with relevant reading (such as for my medical course)

I do most of my reading on my HTC Jetstream, and I was wondering if somebody could knock me up an app that I could highlight text and "share to" to reformat the text in this way. Ideally it would also retain rich text formatting, e.g. superscript so I can spot endnotes easier.

I have tried simply copy and pasting into the webpage on the browser, but as I said, it does not retain basic formatting, and I end up having to copy each section of a paper at a time so I dont miss the headings.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

My sensation is unlocked. Its running on orange platform. Can I install gingerbread platform, if so how?

thanks

Do you mean that you want to install ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) to your Sensation 4g? All Sensations come with Gingerbread from the factory.

[General Questions and Answers] Fallingwater:
It's exactly the same as the Casio EM-500 (can't post links yet, there's a review on pocketpcfaq.com ), except with twice the RAM and never sold outside Japan.

I've been offered one, but the seller wants me to name a price. I've no idea how much money this thing's worth, but I would definitely like to play with it (I have a thing for old portable electronics).

Thanks. :)

Is anyone else running ADW EX (paid) on top of the ADW which comes with CM7? I put it on there and its about the only ting I've done differently than the install instructions called for, wondering if it should cause any problems or if it will be ok.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
It's fine because it's just another version separate from the one that's built in. It will just show up as a different launcher, so it can co-exist with the one in CM7 with no issues.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DuhDroid:
Help! I just got this tablet today and was using just fine out of the box.

I went into Settings> Screen to make sure Auto-rotate screen was checked - OK

then went to Settings>Motion to make sure Motion activation was checked- OK

then went to Settings>Screen>Horizontal calibration

I placed the device on its side, i.e., landscape mode, on a flat level surface and hit Calibrate. It went through the calibration function.

Now when I use the tablet it does not flip the screen from landscape to portrait.

I did a factory reset and still have the same issue. No screen flip , the landscape mode is the only postion it will flip in and it does a 360 degree flip right back to landscape.

Bad/defective accelerometer? or is this just some setting I am missing or need to reset/calibrate.

Any help would be appreciate as this is a p6810 WiFi only Hong Kong tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
just an idea, try recalibrate with tab flat on a surface ( not on its side)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DuhDroid:
That worked!! Thanks mate! Samsung customer service had me try to calibrate it by ME moving the device to get the ball on target! I did as you said and the ball was off target and it centered itself during the calibration...

I am back up and running again! Flipping like normal now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bakron1:
I have a GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus and I am trying to root it manually using a Mac and Fastboot.

I unlocked the bootloader using the fastboot oem unlock command

I flashed the "recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img" and booted into clockwork recovery to try and flash the super user file.

I cannot for the life of me get the usb mount function to work, I keep getting a failed error regarding the sd card.

I tried wiping everything, formating system/cache/, mounting the system, I also get an error when I try and mount data.

After I wiped and formatted everything, the phone would hang on the google logo on boot.

I finally ended up re-flashing the google 4.0.2 factory images using fastboot to get the phone back to stock.

I have rooted many phones including my old Nexus S and never had this many problems, any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfgangs:
why not use fastboot to root then flash cwm?
[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
I feel really stupid for asking this, but I have forgotten how to set images as wallpaper. I tried through the stock gallery app, but that only lets you set half of the image as the wallpaper. I've done it before, but for the life of me I can't remember how.
[Motorola Droid X2] kevinv20:
you can try a different gallery app. I use fishbowl and that works good just select the picture press menu, set as, wallpaper then whichever scale you want

You could also long press on an empty spot on your home screen, select wallpapers, then gallery.

they are sapose to send a new phone in sealed box when replacing your phone with a different phone. Thats weird they would do that either somebody messed up or they have some bull$**T new policies. I don't know seems like T-mobile and what not was real cool when they were about to merge but now they got real greedy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
T-mobile except for the $5.99 or $7.99 insurance added on your plan has nothing else to do with asurion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dv84:
Yep, same thing Asurion and T-mobile told me. They are both different company's that don't have to much to do with each other other then insurance. When i send back the phone's they get sent to T-mobile and not Asurion. At least that's what Asurion told me. Also i didn't get it in a sealed box. It was sent in some cheap ass regular white box.. Meh

If u need a battery real fast you can go to your local Verizon store now and get the Samsung 2100mah Galaxy Nexus Extended battery for 24.99 (currently 50% off 49.99).

Thanks for the tip. I love my Sensation but the battery life is just HORRIBLE. I mean it was so bad that only making a few phone calls and checking xda for 30minutes tops during work, i'd be at like 15-10% by 5pm after a full work day. Hope the sg2 handles battery life much better.

Eh, memory cards are separate. I am not surprised they didn't send one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gallaxxeess:
It pissed you off that they didn't send you a crappy 2GB SD card with a ho-hum movie on it?

Sadly, After having had my GSII past the 14 day return window, I'm kinda wanting my Sensation back. The T989's only advantage is the 16GB onboard memory and 256MB more RAM.

Factor in that Sensation has several ICS ROMs and we have none and there are non on the horizon, I'd rather go with the Sensation, even though I had a ton of issues with my 4 that i went through. The T989 just doesn't impress me enough to justify the cost over upgrading from the Sensation. :( The only thing keeping me from selling the GSII and getting another Sensation is the crap luck i had with them.

Its a decent looking case but why can't we get a modern looking case using modern materials. I don't hate leather, but lets keep in in shoes and belts and off our our cutting-edge gadgets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Reignzone:
I rather prefer the "leather" or faux leather casings for tablets.

I feel like they tend to offer more style and can give the look of an actual accessory, which is pretty cool, IMO.

I sort of want this brown colorway. It's more "authentic" looking, compared to the black one.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
To each their own, of course. However there are currently a dozen or two options for people who want a "leather" style case, and practically none for people who don't like leather. Since the customers who want a leather style product are pretty covered it would just be nice if manufacturers would cater to everyone else for a while.

[Windows Phone 7 General] conorn:
As above. Can't because there is no demand, can it? One of the big let-downs for me coming from PalmOS and Agendus is the really week Calendar app. Let's not get into the bizarre two week limit on past events! I also miss the tweakability of ChatterEmail. But that was then ...

So why no PIM or email apps? Is it a programming issue? Is the WP market entertainment, not enterprise? Will it change with Apollo/WP8?

Just wondering.

PS: other than that I love WP7. Just hoping for more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
truthfully the built in is so good and i use exchange so i never really thought about it. I also have yet to see anyone but you so far ask for it, so i am not thinking the demand is there yet. I have see in the marketplace a few task and calendar apps though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
PIM was very useful on WM, I don't understand why there is no demand for it? I guess it is what it is, Don't want to even ask because I don't what to hear some smart@$$ fanboy comment about that feature is so 1999 or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
The real reason is that everything is sandboxed.

You don't have direct access. You used to just import poutlook.dll Then you could send an email. It would go into the phone's outbox for the account you wanted to send with. It would get sent on the next sync.

Now, you will be asked if you want to send the mail.

Also, I don't think there is any way to programatically get at the content of your emails. This is actually a good security piece. Imagine a dev writing a pretty cool app. You use it. Only months later you find that the content of all email messages on your phone were being sent to the dev while you used the app through a http post.

This is the why. Now, Microsoft could provide controls that would access this information.

Back in Windows Mobile, I wrote an app for users of Sense that also used the Facebook tab that would go through all of your contacts that were linked to Facebook. It would let the user update the contact with the Facebook pic. It used poutlook.dll.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conorn:
Built-in so good? I don't think so. Good as far as it goes maybe. I too use Exchange, that's the backend. It's the presentation of the PIM data that is so lacking.

Needs more views. Today summary. Ledger view for day. 5/7 day week view. A proper month view, with readable text and icons. Templates, filtering. Ability to duplicate events. Tasks in the tile. Lots of little things. When I think what could be packed into my little 320 X 320 Centro display ...

Have a look at the features in the iOS and Android versions of PocketInformant or Agendus.

While I'm at it, the email app needs customisable notifications per mailbox.

The more I look, the more I'm getting that message. Just have to see what the future holds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
PIM is only needed for sms and history. Exchange or hotmail backs up the rest when you put contacts in unless you don't have a data plan. And if you want it all backed up... here yah go (only for stock roms)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346276

by xda themselves ;)

Next

Let me break this down for you...

Duplicate events... go to the event, scroll down, hit more details. press occurs, Choose once, everyday, every weekday, every saturday, every (Day number) of the month, ever month day (as in yearly)

For Tasks in the tile - while on agenda,

Week view? for someone that has a lot of appointments, weekview is never readable, same with month. At least in month you can tell there is an appointment and click on it.

For tasks tile that syncs with exchange try this one - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/3455bef8-895d-49d6-9c71-131a8fd0106a

They do however show in agenda once you have opened the task
[Windows Phone 7 General] conorn:
ROCOAFZ. Maybe you don't understand what I was trying to explain (BOTD). Also, please don't be so defensive, I'm not trying to diss WP. I'll be in for the long run. But if I see (IMO) a weakness I will point it out. And to me the functionality in the Calendar app is poor. Especially when other parts of the OS are so good.

Responding to your points ...

Firstly, forget about Exchange, etc. I'm not talking about backing up. I'm talking about the

presentation

and

management

of the data. I don't care where it's stored. Could be local, could be cloud - doesn't matter.

Secondly, when I use the term PIM, I mean it in the broadest possible way. I want to manage my personal info. Traditionally, on PDAs, that meant calendar, contacts and tasks. Smartphones have replaced PDAs, so now I want my current smartphone to do this at least as well.

Thirdly, the intent of the original post was to query why there are no 3rd-party PIM-type apps available for WP7. There are for iOS and Android, even BB. There were for WM6 and PalmOS. Why not WP7? A couple of replies confirmed what I suspected. The OS doesn't provide the access programmers need. Everything is very hands-off. Maybe this will change in future releases. there are indications that this may be so.

Finally, some specific comments -

No, I'm talking about duplicating existing appointments. Not recurring events, i.e., I had a meeting today at 2pm. We agree to meet again on Friday at 4pm. All other details the same. Previously I would quickly duplicate the event, update the date/time and I'm done. Now I must create from scratch. I right-click drag in Outlook, Google Calendar has Duplicate in More Actions - so it's not just me.

My choice to decide, but at least give me the choice. In month view I want to see better indicators. Maybe the smallish Lumia 800 display is at fault, or my chosen theme, but I really have difficulty noticing the existing (pretend) indications and they give no indication of what's there (task, appointment, all-day event). There is plenty of room to show boxes and bars for an 'at a glance' overview of my time. Especially in landscape view. BTW, what happened Categories?

Thanks. That, and some others, look interesting. But comes back to the issue raised by others. The only way to get at the tasks data is to go direct to the server. Shouldn't have to do that. It does work though, but should be in sync with inbuilt, not duplicating functionality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
1st, not being defensive, just pointing out the way others like myself do it. What i say may or may not work for your situation but it's good to see another way to do it.

For contacts, calendar and tasks - without exchange - they are synced to the cloud hotmail. You don't need to back them up in that case. Last time i hard reset my phone, i didn't even restore via Zune. I put in my hotmail account. That brought in my local contacts and birthdays + vet appointments for my dog. i then synced facebook. That brought in all my friends. then exchange which brought my work contacts, email calendar, tasks ect. You have to get a windows live when you 1st bring up the phone. It is an automatic backup. Now what i did lose was my app list and saved games + contact history.

For apps go to https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/my under get my apps and you will find a list of everything you purchased or got for free. you can send each app to your phone from there. So only thing is lost is contact history and saved games. Zune sync brings back pictures and music. I wanted to change what i had on my phone and didn't care to keep the exisint pics since they were on my pc anyway so i opted not to do this.

But if you want full local backup i highlighted a homebrew way to do it that doesn't require you to be unlocked.

Tasks - for your example, if you created the event, i normally would just edit it and change the date. Granted it's not copy but does the same functionality, unless you need a record of the event that passed.

I have a Titan so my display it pretty big. I probably could show a week view but on some weeks there are so many appointments that it would have to be bars. They should allow month view to zoom into calendar even if pinch to zoom to satisfy everyone.

Categories i didn't miss because i didn't use them but someone else asked me about them before purchasing a phone. That is when i noticed they were not there. Instead of categoris, i add to the subject.

example = Meeting with consumer - Billable

Instead of a billiable category which i can't do much with i add the text because outlook will allow me to search for it. at the end of the week when i bill out, i just enter in outlook's search (i do billing from pc) billable and it will show all my Billiable appointments in a list with time and date. it works way better that way for me. I haven't quite figured out what people use categories for yet though but i do know that they are not on the phone. Probably because each calendar has it's own color.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conorn:
Thanks again. But, really, I have no issues with backing up, syncing, etc :)

Yes, I do keep old events. Which is why I can't believe you can only go back two weeks. Thank goodness for web access.

Second half of post is interesting. I may just have to change my habits. Certainly the idea of using different calendars for colour coding sounds good.
