[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matthewvl:
So I've been diligently managing a pretty pristine outlook contact list that im pretty satisfied with. I've been syncing back and forth via bluetooth (usb port went bad about a year ago).

Recently i reformatted and reinstalled windows 7 on my computer. I did not back up my contacts on the computer because they are on the phone and figuring i'd get them on the re-sync (which I've done before). Unfortunately In that short time period I managed to smash my phone touch screen up pretty good, making things more difficult (and a lack of tap and hold). I cannot for the life of me get the two to sync up to each other via active sync. They pair together fine and send files back and forth to each other, but cannot get them to sync to each other. In the past i've just gone on the phone active sync > connect via bluetooth and then it starts doing its thing in windows mobile device center... Whenever I do it now I get the message

"cannot connect using bluetooth to a pc that supports active sync. you may be out of range. it then asks if i would like to create a different partnership with a pc."

I've obviously created a new pair, turned on visibility and discovery on both pc and phone. Each time it gives me that error message about creating a new pair.

A couple of side notes.

-I have some thoughts that it might be a conflict with the new and old bluetooth pairing but i cannot delete the old one due to the lack of touch screen for the tap and hold. (perhaps there is a way to do this on the hard keyboard)

-I could give a crap about the phone, I've already got a new one. I just want to preserve my contacts.

-I've made a pim backup and a sprite backup of pertinent info but its my understanding that both of these only work with my phone and not outlook, not to mention only my specific rom version.

What is the easiest way to proceed to salvage my contacts?

Sorry for the rather long post on a familiar and oft rehashed question but I couldn't find the answering in any other posts and wanted to be pretty clear with my post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
first of all, since you have made a pimbackup of contacts, your data is SAFE no matter what ROM or which windows mobile device you have! the sprite backup, on the other hand, CAN be specific to your ROM/device depending on exactly what you chose to back up.

so you can always restore the pimbackup archive to a good working windows mobile device (borrow a friends?) and sync up that device with your desktop.

with that out of the way...lets see...you've got a bad screen? i would suggest using a "remoting" tool (like mymobiler)...but i think mymobiler requires a working activesync over usb...but you say your usb port is screwed?

if you can use the screen just enough to install "wifi remote access 1.7" and configure it and enable WIFI, then you can remote control your device using the relevant functionality of "wifi remote access 1.7" from the browser on your desktop, assuming you have a WIFI network at home.

with the screen hurdle out of the way, i suppose it would make your ability to configure things on the device a bit more possible. for starters, even though you have used pimbackup, also install microsoft myphone and upload your contacts there as well. while you're at it, you can mess around with activesync on your device some more to try to get it to sync.

BUT! i think the problem might be on your recently refreshed desktop. i hear windows mobile device center should be upgraded because an update is available.

if all else fails, you can use pimbackup to create a "non-binary" archive (the style is configurable during the backup wizard use case). this non-binary archive is actually a zip file containing a csv file (comma separated values). so you can rename the archive to "something.zip", extract the zip on your desktop and use microsoft excel to open the extracted csv file. here, you will get an easy to edit file with your contacts laid out over rows/columns.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitewillsmith28:
Is there any kind of fix for mms on darchdroid? I don't care how complicated it is.

I would really like to use darchdroid but I need to be able to download pictures from all my friends. I'm on fresh 2.0b right now with just the vanilla lockscreen and I really like it, but i would like to have the full vanilla environment.

I guess there's always Ic3rome but from what I've read darchdroid seems like its a lot better.

I'm sorry if there is already a thread about this i tried to search for it but I didn't really know how to word the search terms.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
No MMS yet sadly.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
i'm sure he is working on it, that is all that is left "not working"

EDIT: good first post, welcome to xda
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitewillsmith28:
Do you think this will be fixed in future updates? I believe Darchstar is one of the ones not leaving for the evo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
He's not at this moment, but he did say something about 2.2 possibly fixing MMS
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feld:
I had issues *sending* MMS and fixed that myself, but receiving MMS is another ball of wax. It's pretty low level and will require some coding most likely. :(
[neoTouch S200 General] Nagato Yuki:
About top-left version string when booting, I think it could be related to the file 'appsboot.mbn', does it comes form the official ROM? or there is the way to modify this string?

Another question, maybe someone don't want others to know, could anybody tell me the OEM packs for minimum sets of Sense 2.5 :p

BTW, about ExtROM, CABPIACB.pil could be edited correctly by EmEditor which native support UTF-16LE :D

Is there a way to get gmail without wifi?

When I put my gmail details in on the sense mail tab it only does the send and receive when wifi is on...
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
It should sync with gmail no problem (I have my email, calendar and contacts syncing for like 2years). I'm not sure why yours isn't working. Is your internet working fine otherwise (aka without wifi)?
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
Yes, all the other net stuff on my phone works fine...

I put the details into the email thingy but it will only send and receive when wifi or usb is plugged in...
[HD2 General] Richy99:
it works fine on gmail for me using a data connection

what error does it give when you try it ?
[HD2 General] Jezwick:
What service provider are you with
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
did you set it up with wifi enabled?? if so delete the account and try just with mobile internet no wifi
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
I'm with telstra and its a telstra T9193... email account info put in and attempted send and receive with wifi off...
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
Finally got it... Was following the easy setup from the sense mail tab... Was choosing the wrong connection... Had to do it the old fashioned way...

Thanks ppl...
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
So today the baby decided to slap the evo causing it to land on the very corner onto tile. The glass piece above the lcd is shattered but the screen protector kept it together nice. Here some pics for you all.
[EVO 4G General] huynhc:
that makes me hurt inside... sorry for the lost. asurion claim in your future?
[EVO 4G General] dagnasty:
My condolences on your loss but...wallpaper link? lol
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
Yup. Tried to do it online got an error. called sprint, they didnt put insurance on the account when I got the phone. lol. Went to sprint had them add insurance since my other two lines had it. I always want insurance on 500 dollar phones because stuff like this ALWAYS seems to happen. So I will be now calling them sometime shortly. I wish sprint could just fix it. I saw the teardown pics. didnt look that hard to me. lol
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
My gf found it in the background app, and she doesnt remember in what section! haha. For whatever thats worth.

[EVO 4G General] notown775:
hahahaha OMGZ you win!
[EVO 4G General] johnnychimpo:
you have 30 days to turn on the insurance i think.
[EVO 4G General] Antebios:
You have 14 days. I need to go in and get it.
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
Told me 30.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:

Where do I call to report domestic mobile abuse?! For what did that Evo do to you, except supply you with awesomeness that made you slap it?

Sir, I'm disgusted. *storms out* :mad:

[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
Are we sorry about the cracked screen or the light leak from the capacitive buttons?

Joking aside, sucks man. Get that insurance while you still can.
[EVO 4G General] akastixx:
looks like it's time to get a new baby.
[EVO 4G General] Blackhalo:
I am waiting on my claim from Asurion, they said I'll have a new one by Wednesday... doubt it though.

Grab insurance and begin the waiting process.
[EVO 4G General] oreoOozZz:
ROFL A+

but seriously man, that sucks. im always super ridicuously dont touch my sh!t when i first get a new phone...i hate it. i like when i get to that point where it has a scratch or two already and i can breathe when i hold it...anything before that is intense.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
In all actuality, you probably WILL have it by then. They are usually pretty quick to get replacements out to customers.
[EVO 4G General] Blackhalo:
Will see, I have no first hand experience with them. And with the phone being this new, it was obviously back ordered. The email confirmation said it was only a 50$ deductible... thought for sure it would be 100$, but I wont be surprised if it gets changed.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
At least there's a pretty good chance it'll be NIB and not a refurb...:D
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
In my experience, asur usually hands out new and sprint hands out refurbs
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
OP post that wallpaper? :P
[EVO 4G General] KyleK29:
You didn't tell them about this, did you? If you did, they may have noted it on the account which would make a claim harder to do.
[EVO 4G General] KwestJones:
Best laugh of the day, thanks

Thank God for insurance. What's the deductible for asurion?

Well, depending on how long that particular phone has been on the market, Assurion will send what they have. Been through it with Moto Q, Mogul, Touch Pro. It's funny how when a new device is coming out, how quickly refurbs show up from Assurion claims, for the previously "hot" item.:D
[Nexus One General] kobecamp2009:
My launcher and app launcher have gone too landscape mode twice! Maybe the official froyo build might support it.

First Time (Launcher)

This happened like 2 weeks ago. I was on an app holding my phone in landscape. When I clicked home, my phone went crazy and switched the launcher from portrait to landscape like 3 times, until it stopped at landscape. But after click on an app and coming back it went back to normal.

Second Time (App Launcher)

This happened today! I was in english class and my friend asked to see my phone. After she played with it for 5 minutes, she was giving me the phone and at the same exact time she clicked the back button to exit the facebook app and I accidently clicked the volume down button. The phone vibrated and the app launcher was on landscape.

You don't understand how many times I tried repeating that process, but it didn't work.

The funny thing is when my phone went into landscape the first time, the widgets were FULLY supported!

So maybe the official froyo build might actually have the landscape option.
[Nexus One General] MTGap:
That would be awesome! It's one of those things that bothers me when I exit an application in landscape mode.
[Nexus One General] jamesyb0i:
I somehow managed to get the lock screen to display in landscape! Accidentally pressed the power button twice when using the browser and rotating
[Nexus One General] kobecamp2009:
This actually happened to me to! I just don't remember what I did lol.
[Nexus One General] commodoor:
I think thi also happend to me on 2.1. i think there is a landscape mode but disabled for phones without keyboard. think of a phone with a keyboard they have to go to landscape when you pull the keyboard out, or els it will look stupid :P
[Nexus One General] blisk:
This has happened with the dock for me when going to the home screen after being docked in the car dock.

[Nexus One General] arkavat:
when in car dock, launcher, app drawer, and contact support landscape mode. It's an official feature.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Can you guys take a screenshot of that?
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
difficult to do that. It has to be in car dock and in car dock, you can't attach the USB cable. I am sometimes amazed that Google still doesn't have screenshot feature other than the debug mode one.
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
If you put your phone on the car dock (turns everything to portrait mode) and click "exit car mode" you will go to the home screen in portrait mode. If you lock the screen while on the car dock and after you exit the car mode, you will have a portrait lock screen.

I don't think that they will make it switch by default. IF anything they need to make it an option, I don't want portrait mode on my home screen.
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
Just use LauncherPro or any other home replacement which supports it.

I haven't had a use for it ever. Pretty pointless if your phone is not docked in landscape mode.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
It looks stupid in phone without keyboards too when you're using an app in landscape and phone rings and everything is sideways all of a sudden. Or when you have to rotate the phone when switching between apps because the launcher won't rotate.

I don't know what they are thinking with this issue.

Can someone confirm that this isn't a phishing site? Can you guys tell who the domain is registered too. Looks fishy.
[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
you can get $10 discounted / month on certain plans. check slickdeal forms and seach for evo. you have to wait for it to getback in stock though. save $120/year worth it htough.
[EVO 4G General] Nicksil:
Not sure if I'm missing something here, but why not just purchase through Sprint.com? I submitted my order on Monday and had it Tuesday afternoon. They give you the overnight-air service at no charge, as well.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
really, hopefully that's true because I ordered this afternoon from Sprint and i'm hoping it arrives tomorrow (although it says 2-5 days)
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I ordered by phone at 11:30 am pst for my 2nd Evo. Got a UPS tracking number around 5:30 pst showing a delivery for tomorrow. You should be shipping tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
I ordered around 3 pm est and still haven't received any confirmation
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I'm pretty sure UPS/FedEx/USPS collect deliveries at a certain time. For example, if you order in the morning, your order will probably ship the same day. After 2-4 PM, however, you've got to wait until the next day for it to ship.

If you haven't gotten your shipping confirmation, I'm guessing they didn't pick your package up today from the warehouse.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I didn't get the shipping confirmation but what I did was go to the website to check my order and found the tracking number there. www.Sprint.com/myorder
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
it's not updated on sprint.com/myorder

anyway, back to topic: is this discount thing legit? have anyone actually ordered through them? if so, i would like some feedback

thanks
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Well they've had the domain since 2005 good thing, they only register for one year at a time may be a bad thing could be cuz of godaddy discounts.

http://whois.domaintools.com/corpdiscount.com
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
i emailed the person and got a response and the discount is approximately $20 cheaper than with my 20% discount

they apparently have a lot of EVOs, but i need some more info before pulling the trigger on the deal
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I did some more looking on the site. If you hit the online chat or hit contact us it refers to callsprint.com

The phone number they say to call is listed here at Howard forums as being a phone number for Sprint corporate discounts

http://www.howardforums.com/printthread.php?t=1638137&page=14&pp=15

http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59735 The other phone number on the site is listed here. Looks fairly legit to me.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
donatom3, thanks for those info

Edit: site seems legit; talked to someone from the site via their chat; they also provide direct access to sprint so you won't have to call and wait on the phone to get a hold of someone; they provide direct customer service

i didn't order from them since my order from sprint is being shipped out today (hopefully)
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Cool thanks for the verification.
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
If you order a evo before 12PM EST with overnight shipping you are bound to get it the next day. unless your order just didnt get placed.

ive done it so many times with so many phones and different things. long as you give it 12 hours to get accept, it will ship that same day.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
The Lady on the phone told me usually orders by 2pm est get shipped the same day. My order I placed yesterday at 2:30pst shipped yesterday too. On the UPS truck to be delivered.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
did you order through this site (OP link)? let us know once you receive the phone and if there's any issues
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Oh sorry I was just giving info on the speed of ordering through telesales. I did not order direct from this site, but they seem to be a reseller of sprint service.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
thanks for the reply, donatom3

i'm getting mad now at sprint; i looked at their shipping policy and if you place an order before 1:30pm PST, your order should be shipped same day; i placed mine yesterday around 12:00pm PST and still nothing, no tracking info and no updates; when i called, they said it's in the warehouse for processing
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Very odd the one I placed at 11:30am pst yesterday just arrived at the house. BTW I know some warehouses don't update their tracking numbers till the end of the day, so that's possible. I didn't see my tracking number for yesterday's order until around 5:30pst.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
lucky guy, you actually got overnight delivery

i ordered 4 phones (2 EVOs) and there hasn't been any update on the site since i received the order number by email

now, i'm just hoping they haven't updated it and the phone arrives tomorrow before i even receive the tracking info
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
You shouldn't see tracking info for atleast another 2 hours.

it's just an independent sprint sales rep... anyone can become one of those.
[EVO 4G General] nicholasbithell:
This is a legit site.... I am just helping a friend out, with some advertising. She works for a company called "AlwaysBEthere" They are a sprint premier partner. She is not an independent sales rep, it is a decent sized company located in Plymouth, MN. She can offer pretty good discounts to those who call or email. Everyones discount is usually different depending on what she can get them started on. They do have plenty of EVO's in-stock since they are a sprint premier partner they get first dibs at available stock. If anyone has any questions just PM and I can help you out.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
It doesn't matter how big the company is, anyone that's an independent rep can give those "discounts"... I used to do the same thing. Independent rep or not, it's all the same thing.
[EVO 4G General] nicholasbithell:
Either way... I don't care what you have done or who can give out the discounts. Like I said I am helping out a friend, with some advertising.

It's not perfect but it would be if it could keep up completely.

HTC_IME Mod keyboard is very cool and is easily the best t9 keyboard out there.

Also the only keyboard I can decently use one handed and I have been able to use it nicely without looking for the most part.

Current version is 27 and you can get it here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

(sorry can't post links yet... )

I've tried:

Handcent T9 Free

numberpad aka (evenbetter)numberpad $3.99

and a couple other miscellaneous ones paid and free

also tried Swype beta

Some issues I have with it:

There is no next button to choose the next word in order

I haven't figured out how to change the word order yet ie when typing of I get me by default and I personally prefer of.

it could be faster... I force my self to wait for the short vibrate feedback before i press the next letter. Still very quick though, and if you use one hand it is faster because you don't try to hit two buttons at once.

Some settings I have set mine for:

Swipe left deletes last word

Swipe right switches keyboard between t9 and qwerty (you could use compact keyboard as well but I'm not into that sissy stuff)

swipe down hides keyboard

swipe up moves the cursor back a word

Volume up/down moves cursor forward/backward

Many other options as well!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
I have the Hero, but now drool over the EVO. My next upgrade is not until October. I read somewhere on XDA that there is a way to avoid Sprint's ETF. I would like to start a new line with the EVO at $200 And then cancel my old line with my Hero. I can't afford the $600 price to pay for it outright, and the ETF would hit me too hard right now. I searched the forums for the info about avoiding ETF, but went through 10 pages without any luck and thought I would go to the people who know. I have one other question. If I did cancel my original line, would I be starting out with Sprint all over again? I mean, would I loose my Sprint Premier status? Thanks.
