I'm planning on migrating from one exchange server to another. From 4smartphone to an inhouse server. I completely understand how to do this on the desktop (export all contents to a pst, setup new exchange, import pst, let that sync up to exchange). I think the best course of action for the phone is to "zero out outlook" on the phone so that when I set it up it can resync with the new exchange. But I'm just not sure how to do that. Any ideas? I'd just as soon not have to hard reset the phone.

TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DeniaL:
Does it really need to be done? Once you re-import everything onto your new exchange server the phone is just going to re-sync with Exchange... Just set activesync to have the server win, then set it back to default afterwards. I don't really see the need for zero'ing out the outlook...but that's just me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Go into activesync on your hermes and remove your exchange profile. It will blow away all of your messages tasks and your contacts. Now go move to your new server using PST method you described. Next, set up the new server in activesync. All contacts/messages/tasks will be restored. If you don't do this you will duplicate contacts for sure and possibly tasks as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] newtronic:
Thanks for both postings. A year ago, I did something where I had first sync'ed my phone via USB and then got exchange working and ended up with duplicates of everything. I don't remember how the "let the server win" bit was set.

I suspect the problem with "let the server win" approach is that the server wins, but it sees some or all of the old entries as new (to the new server) entries and sync's them up regardless. There's probably some hidden value that it's matching on like a GUID.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] newtronic:
No need to zero out exchange

Just in case anyone needs to do this. I went to ActiveSync and removed the old server. It warned me this would leave the contacts, calendar, and tasks. Email was erased. I'm still surprised by email being treated differently than the other folders, but whatever. I then spent some time trying to figure out how to delete the left over stuff. Couldn't find an easy way so I tried setting up the new server, being sure to have the setting of "if differences, replace the item on the device". It worked like a champ. 15 minutes of sync'ing and my device was back to 100% with the new exchange server.

Whole rundown of the situation:

Wanted to be able to root my phone, do some research, mainly with http://androidforums.com/threads/ro...ecovery-guide-for-htc-desire-601-zara.817068/ and the one-click-root

Attempted one-click-root first as I did not want to mess with my phone too much, ended up not working.

Try to manually root my phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed SuperSU.zip via the guide above

Check to see if I have root access, did not; attempted to do a full restart where I factory reset everything after another backup

Phone starts hanging on the HTC logo screen

Do some more research and eventually get to this soft-brick solution guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55850035&postcount=23

Followed the steps and am now currently booting into the fastboot screen permanently; even when attempting to power down, phone keeps booting back up.

Did some more research and found a semi-related question pertaining to this question with no definitive solution: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/phone-booting-fastboot-mode-t2949325

Do you have custom recovery? If yes, can you boot into recovery via the hboot screen? If not, I would suggest you to flash KK recovery via fastboot, this one, and see if you can reboot into it.
[HTC Desire 601] Sythe777:
I have TWRP 2.7.0.0 currently as my custom recovery, and I can boot into recovery from the hboot menu, but still keep rebooting. I'll try out the kitkat version.

Edit: Tried out the kitkat version, all seemed well before reboot, no errors/missing files mentioned, rebooted and the phone still keeps only booting into fastboot. Double checked, tried to boot normally, just hangs at the HTC logo screen now.

In TWRP go to Wipe and select System, Data, Cache and Dalvik cache and wipe them. Then download this stock rom zip, then copy it to your SD and flash it.

[Moto X Q&A] Alecegonce101:
​

We know that installing a Custom ROM loses the unique features the Moto X has to offer like Active Display, Always Listening, Twist to Camera but why can't they be restored or implemented in other ROMS?

I have gotten the APKs and odex of those apps, and am tempted to install a custom ROM without these features and simply push them back to /system. Sounds to easy to actually work.

Why isn't there a flashable zip out there?
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Custom roms don't have the Motorola framework which the Moto apps rely on. Same applies to all other proprietary apps from other OEMs.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deekster:
Hi guys, so my problem is I was installing a new rom on my rooted D855. everything was going along fine but then the process stalled. I left it running for 15 - 20 minutes but it was still on 33%. I tried holding the power button in desperation which shut the thing down. Now when I try to factory reset it goes to the prompt screen, I answer yes, then it asks me to confirm. from there however it goes to LG splash screen and eventually a black screen with Fastboot mode started. -reset- portcharge -reset- portcharge fastboot: processing commands in the top left corner. That's it.. If I try download mode it goes to the download screen and then to the black screen as described above.

Sounds pretty ordinary but if there is an answer out there I am sure one of you guys will know it.

TIA
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exlaval:
i had some similar other issue and the only way i got out of it, is by using the lg flashtool 2014 and the KDZ file appropriate to your version

there is a thread with a step by step instructions.

you launch the flashtool, then insert the kdz file (original stock rom) then you put your phone into download mode (making sure in windows/controlpanel/devicemanager/ports - comp port 41 for the device driver)

you press volume up and plug it into the pc, the pc sees the phone and it starts reflashing the custom rom to your cell.

i presume that as soon as your download mode is working by flashing whatever command is corrupt and makes your phone black should be bypassed by then

i hope it helps - look for the thread how to flash the lg

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] imitt12:
So, I got this phone off of eBay when my myTouch 3G Slide started to take a crap, and now I want to unlock it off of T-Mobile and use it on Consumer Cellular. Can't do that. After some patty-cake with customer service (formerly known as "Have you tried turning it off and on again, sir?"), they told me that the previous owner had had it on a contract, and that contract has an "unsettled" balance on it, and I'd have to arrange a payment to get them to hand over the code. I don't want to do this. I just recently rooted the phone using this root method, by Masters2150, and I was wondering if I could muck around inside the roaming list and pull out the code myself?

(Sorry Moderators if I'm doing something wrong, but most of us were posting stuff on the DEV thread...)

I have to agree with [MENTION=1101772]Dukenukemx[/MENTION] that newer phones suck and that most don't even have physical keyboards.

This is probable because of the increase in screen size and the general interest in lighter, thinner phones. I actually really, really enjoy a heavy phone. It makes them feel solid, like those age-old Nokias. The myTouch especially is rather heavy, and I've dropped mine a lot mainly because I'm in college and I'm always in a rush but also because I'm clumsy as ****. Heavier phones are more solidly built, because of the thicker plastic required to support all the moving parts, in the myTouch's case, the G2, and the G1.

Gonna edit this later, I'm not done.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
It's an interesting situation. Now I like the smaller phones because I don't want to have to be toting what is increasingly becoming a tablet in the front pocket. 4" screen is my limit, which rounds out to 122mm height, just small enough for a camera case.

I could have went iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard but I don't like the Apple company model.

I won't repost the link I left in the other thread, but it talks about how Sprint did customer surveys which found people preferred hardware keyboards. They built two models, and close to no one bought them.

A big issue is that the lines are unrecognizable, and middle of the road in terms of specs. Since the specifications have pretty much stayed the same since then, "new" models are now bordering on low end phones. Ones that will never get updates, support, or any hope in general.

The suggestion in the end was that a qwerty line must be tied to a flagship device, or it won't survive. But after I had a couple beers with a network provider, their thoughts is that the market for qwerty is so niche that it would be too much risk for them.

A full sized device with a keyboard would not be practical. With the size they make them now, a few extra millimeters thickness for the keyboard makes it look bulky. A "Q" model would have to be tied to a device with a reduced size, like the S4 Mini, which is already a niche device.

Another issue, particularly with the doubleshot is with the hardware breakdown. Flex cable problems are all too common. With bar phones, it seems the only hardware problems they get are with the power button, and sometimes the volume rocker.

This may be my last foray in the hardware keyboard trend. I could (probably) get my cases made, which would be expensive and annoying, but it is what it is. Without a keyboard, and the ability to have a custom made case, I am willing to go to a phone size up to 5.5". So that would mean either a Nexus 5, Moto X 2013, or Moto G.

But it will be a while before I need to make that decision. My F3Q is still going strong (and strangely less miserable than the MT4GS, even though it wasn't a bad phone), although I miss the tactile response home buttons. ROM support would be nice, but I really like the LG interface right now (even though I replaced the launcher and icon pack).

My rant is over, for now.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dukenukemx:
Why non keyboard phones? It's not hard to imagine why companies don't make them. The demand for them has gone away. Why? Is touchscreen superior?

Look at the current trend of Android phones. They're getting bigger, but everyone hates them bigger, but everyone needs them bigger. Cause when you hold the phone on the side the keyboard consumes the screen. It's the most comfortable way to type, because holding it vertical gives you more visible screen, but less keyboard. So the solution is to make the screen bigger.

But the reason everyone gets these keyboardless phones is because of iPhone. Everyone wants an iPhone clone. It's to look cool without the Apple tax. Manufacturers have no problems with this, as it makes manufacturing these phones cheaper. They encourage people to go for brick style phones, just like they encourage people to spend more on internal storage and cloud services. It's done by not including SD card slots and charge a lot for 32GB phones. Despite that a 32GB class 10 SD Card is only $17 on Amazon, and that's not even the cheap ones.

How hard is it to make a brick phone? Screen+SoC+battery = phone. When companies like HTC are falling apart when all they can do is continue to make more powerful iPhone clones. Like I care how much faster my phone can get when I don't have the software on it. Hey look 2+Ghz quad core with GPU9001 graphics with screen resolution beyond 1080p. So it's obviously for gaming, cause Facebook doesn't need this kind of power. It would be more comfortable to use a keyboard for gaming, especially games like ShovelKnight. Instead of HTC going after qwerty again they just keep trying to one up Samsung, LG, and Apple in shear power. Meanwhile best touchscreen games are AngryBirds, FruitNinja, and etc, which don't need that kind of power.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Well, in the beginning, it was more than a fad, it was a requirement. On screen keyboards were not part of the OS until Donut 1.6, where the G1 was released with Cupcake 1.5...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dukenukemx:
It could be argued that it's a fad to not have a keyboard. Is removing SD cards also a fad too? Nobody wants Windows phones, but somehow they keep getting made. Part of it is market influence, and part of it is collaboration. I believe there's a lot of people who are still waiting for a next generation QWERTY phone, but nobody is making them? Something is not right here. We are being pushed into a direction that companies want. Who doesn't want a SD card in their phone? WHO?

The Motorola Droid 4 is the best QWERTY phone today. It has respectable specs for a phone today, but it was made 2 years ago. I would be using it now if it worked on T-Mobile. There are people waiting for the Droid 5, but that's likely never going to happen. But I also believe that companies like HTC, LG, Samsung, and even Apple are facing a growing menace. The Chinese ultra cheap market is growing and ready to explode into a problem for them. Willing to believe they have no problem with making QWERTY phones. I have no problem with Mediatek or Allwinner chips in my phone. Probably the worst thing going for the Chinese phones is lack of community rom support and support for T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I didn't know about the iDroid project, sounds like a cool initiative. Too bad they didn't keep it up (with the newer devices).

Your point that the iPhone couldn't keep up with JB tells me that either (a) Apple products are underspecced as well as being overpriced, or (b) the shift in OS requirements for Android were rather steep (in reality the big jump was from GB to ICS). With the options available, I figure it is mostly the former.

I don't understand the point of Android vs iOS versioning. Both release major versions once a year. Android just didn't mark those milestones with a full increment.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

I think that no longer having a keyboard is more of a trend, not a fad. A fad is a passing phase, likely/hopefully phablets for example. Since a hardware keyboard is no longer necessary, and too many people have voted with their wallets (never mind the fact my friend at Eastlink pointed out - you cannot customize a hardware keyboard) it is difficult that manufacturers will go back to that, including cheap chinese manufacturers to create latin-based phones for that matter.

The big companies have took too many notes from Apple - no SD card, non-removable battery, although they have pushed other nasties onto the market i.e. ever increasing screen sizes to hide the need for more chassis space for the specs.

Lack of SD card and removable battery is the worst for people like us. No SD card means we cannot back up userdata in recovery. No removable battery means we have nothing to pull if we bootloop and need to hard reset (AFAIK).

Their stance is that it saves space, and with 64GB onboard, why need expansion for a card that often cannot be more than 32GB anyway? I don't know the reasoning for the battery, but it means that the phone has to be replaced much sooner, and it cannot be shipped easily in many locations.

Its hard to tell what is a fad or a trend, but if enough people vote with their wallets, hindsight will determine the outcome.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
As far as Apple devices being underspecced, I completely agree. The 4S had a 1Ghz dual core processor in 2011, where as we have the myTouch and the Samsung Galaxy S Whatever. While the iPhone 4S had really, really good battery life (that's the only good thing about Apple and Blackberry, everything else is total crap) it was a terrible phone, I ended up installing android on it with working 3G and wifi, plus texting and calling. A lot of apps were super incompatible with the iPhone's hardware. The Cortex-A9 was a sh*tty processor to begin with, and the PowerVR GPU was total BS as well. In contrast, my little, reliable Phoenix runs NFS Shift really well. I downloaded it for iOS when I wasn't using Android, and the iPhone could barely handle the graphics. I'll give Apple the cake for design. The iPhone 4S looked really cool. The ONLY part I actually enjoyed about iOS was Siri, and ther's a bunch of Android apps just for that. Given the'r not as good, they work much better in my experience.

On another note, how good would X86 and X64 desktop architecture work with Android? I heard newer versions of Android phones will be x64 compatible.

Aside from that, the Droid Turbo has better specs than my current PC, and once the Droid Turbo loses value because of the terrible battery life I might buy one and load up Bochs (a x86 desktop processor emulator and virtual machine for Android) and just boot Windows XP. I wonder how well that would work? It almost worked on a G2, it was just really slow.

Yet another topic, a lot of PC games that have launcher clients (Skyrim, Oblivion, COD, NFS) all use a standalone .exe that grabs the files and loads them into the RAM as needed. What if someone recompiles the launcher/client .exe for Android, and transfers the files to the SD card and installs the APK? Can that work? The Android apps like Ravensword also uses external data separate from the standalone APK app are practically the same, except the APK is the client instead of .exe. Could this mean we can get Skyrim for Android? I mean, we have the hardware. All we need is a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or a compatible game controller. I take it you'd have to modify a few files for hardware reasons, but other than that it might work. A buddy of mine tried to get it to work with Oblivion, but he failed because it was too big of a task and took too much time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
I was thinking about that. It has better specs than the MT4GS, existing the 8GB internal and the 1024MB of RAM. I might buy one for novelty purposes, use it as an android equivalent to and iPod Touch (which is what my MT4GS is doing, I have all media forwarded through bluetooth[calls, texts,internet]) but my problem is I already have two MT4GS's and I'm just gonna wear both of them out. By the time I break both of them HOPEFULLY there will be a decent QWERTY phone. T-Mobile seems like a good option, it's too bad alternate ROMs don't let us do a SIM unlock. My LG Phoenix, which I adore, is still loyal to me even though it doesn't have an SD card and is still sticking with me considering how much crap I've put it through.

It's also a shame that LG took over the Gx series, I really would have liked HTC to continue it. Just imagine another QWERTY phone! The HTC G3! I'm probably gonna whip out my pencil and draw it, I'll share it with you guys! Then I might send the design to HTC... Forget it. It's only a dream, but the concept is enjoyable. The HTC One should have a slide out variation, like the myTouch and the Evo 4G series'. Just browsing Amazon I see quite a few really, really crappy QWERTY phones in the style of Blackberrys. They disgust me.
