[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrpistol:
My phone has been acting terribly. The home screen is basically blank, except for the top and bottom soft buttons. I seem to be able to access all my programs. I cannot access any of my contacts though. When I tap contacts it goes to the contacts screen but there are none there.

Is there another way for me to access my contacts, so that I can write them down and save them before I hard reset?

Hard resetting will delete them, correct?

I have total commander installed, and can access that.

thanks

Use PIM backup to backup the contacts to sd card and restore afterwards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
download one of these and back eveything up.... pim back up (backs your contacts, texts and what not to your sd card where you can then restore back to your phone after you hard reset)

microsoft myphone... very cool. Download it and run it. You log in using your windows live account and it backs it up to the "cloud" You can access all your contacts and calendar events, texts, photos, videos, documents etc etc on the internet on a dedicated website. It can back up your phone every day if you want it to automatically. It can even use your location to find the phone if it gets lost.. well to an extent. Restoring is as easy as reinstalling the program after you hard reset and running the restore mode.

Microsoft outlook... This is the most common I think. Use Microsoft outlook and back up your contacts and what not. Connect your phone and "Active sync" it so it backs everything up. After you hard reset, re connect your phone and re-sync all the data. Depending on your carrier I think most carriers provide a trial of this program on the installation cd you got with the phone if you don't already have outlook installed on your computer. You also need to have "Windows Mobile Device Center" or whatever windows XP uses if you still use XP.. again those can be found online free or on the cd you got when you bought the phone.

Do a little reading on all of those.

They're all really straight forward.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrpistol:
awesome! microsoft myphone got it all....

thank you much

hopefully a hard reset gets this phone back on track now....

Moxier is there in the phone, but none of the uninstall programs detect it or allow it to be uninstalled. Is there a way for this rooted phone to get rid of this moxier crap?

it's not installed, it's backed up for those users who need to connect to exchange server.

You need to replace DDI.dll with one from a different ROM that hasn't been watermarked.
[General Questions and Answers] Carbin:
You'll need to upgrade the ROM to a retail release version, when one becomes available and someone figures out just how to upgrade the ROM on the Hero. You may need to wait a few days/weeks.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
i was just wondering if anyone rebooted into bootloader with PASSIMG.zip on their sdcard then chose CLEAR STORAGE and then went back into bootloader with PASSIMG.zip still on their sdcard so the bootloader can check and install the "update"??

i want to try this but im not much of a 'trier' type

PASSIMG.zip: download here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
How is that gonna relock the bootloader
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
PASSIMG.zip is the original stock Nexus One Rom.

doing this update with a custom Rom gives u an error that says: "this update is older"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] death1246:
has anyone tried this with kings blur rom installed? its v 1.5 you think it will bypass?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketlo:
The topic is a little misleading. Thought you meant that PASSIMG.zip would relock the bootloader :P. The update does not flash a new bootloader.

I dont see why you cant do what you said. As long as you still have recovery you can fix your phone but saying that, I dont see why you wouldnt try that first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
in the .zip there is a bootloader image idk if it will relock it or not. i just dont want to try it because im not the person to try new things BUT i guess ill have to try it now since nobody else will
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
...it didnt work lol

we need a modded spl as an update.zip thats our only option now (unless a genius makes a batch file or something)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You were told it wouldn't relock anything, you just didn't want to read it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
well i wanted to try anyways.
[HD2 General] Raul9954:
hi everyone..can anyone pls tell me why i can't read my Sd card? i already format it n i thought it will be ok,but now,the phone doesn't even read it..i restart my phone few times now n still it is not readable.

can someone give me some tips? ur help is much appereciate.thankss.. htc love,
[HD2 General] 10507:
Are you able to read it from your PC? Use a card reader and read it through your PC.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
If you formatted the card in NTFS then the phone will not be able to read it. You'll need to format it in FAT32 with atleast an 8KB allocation unit size (this will help a little bit with speed)
[HD2 General] Raul9954:
still

hi,thank u for replying my previous post..

i still cant read my sd card..i've tried to format it using pc and using fat32 but still it wont work.. is there anymore posibilities?

i tried many ways til my mind is empty to think abt it.
[HD2 General] iainbp:
it might be a duff sd card. i had this problem last week. all of a sudden my sandisk 8gig sd card wouldnt work , my phone wouldnt read it and nor could my pc. i tryed formatting it on my pc. but my phone still woundnt read it. i have heard that the hd2 sometimes does this to sd cards .

i bought mine from carphone warehouse so i rang them and they said i could get a replacement so that has saved me 20 quid.

i would probaly get a new sd card.
[HD2 General] Raul9954:
thanks mate..appreciate it
[HD2 General] veda_sticks:
having similar problems with my 2g sandisk card that came with the phone. except somwtimes it doesnt get recognised then out of the blue starts working. ahen its not recognised the phone knows a card is inserted. with file explorer open if i plug it in it jumps to the bottom of the file list but no sdcard shpws.

its weird as it just starts workibg again. no apparent data loss. gonna get a better card
[HD2 General] Ymzee:
My SD card drains the battery on the HD2.

Any suggestions??
[HD2 General] Slash8915:
My gf's old phone broke, and I found a cheap HD2 on craigslist. I went ahead and bought it from the guy. He seemed ok, maybe a LITTLE shady. When I brought it home and told her how I got it, she became worried that if we put her sim card into it, and it IS stolen, a red flag will show up at T-mobile and she might get into trouble.

Is there any way T-mobile can tell who has the phone if it IS stolen? Also, if she ever has to send it in for a replacement through warranty, will she be screwed? I know I shouldn't have bought it off of Craigslist, but it's too late for that now...
[HD2 General] :
Well, you could always call T-Mobile and ask them if it was reported stolen ....

Don't think they will call the police on you , If you tell them you are going to , but I bet they will want to take your name, just in case ...
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Lol this whole thread seems shady as hell.

Sounds like the OP might be trying to fish answers for his own endeavors...
[HD2 General] Slash8915:
lol, i know. it sounds pretty bad, but i assure you, that's not the case.
[HD2 General] Homestar1217:
they can tell if it's stolen. they can tell if more than one person has the same IMEI number. whoever was using the phone will have that IMEI on their account, and if your gf puts her sim card in it, they will be able to see the IMEI from the phone. that's done on purpose, so that if someone does report a stolen phone, and the IMEI turns up on another account, they can flag it. however if it was not reported stolen, then there isn't much they can do as they don't know whether or not the original owner sold it to you or a shady guy on craigslist sold it to you, so reporting to the authorities would be pointless for them, as it may have been a legal transaction. as for calling them, they're probably not going to give you the info if that IMEI is registered in their system, they may not even tell you if it is. but if it has been reported stolen, and the IMEI shows up under a different account it will probably be flagged, I'm not sure what would happen at that point. More than likely rather than calling the authorities they'll just cut off the service to the phone.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Try a prepaid sim card and see if it was IMEI blocked?
[HD2 General] Slash8915:
well, we put her sim card in it and nothing has happened so far. i suppose it was legit.
[HD2 General] MYermakiov:
If you got it with box, supplies and cables its very low chance that it stolen. Actual price in my local craiglist is really low, but it doesn't mean that most of all are stollen
[HD2 General] s2kver02:
tmobile dont care if the phone stolen or not. it doesnt really matter.
[HD2 General] Showtime7:
If that were possible I would like to think they would have told me when my TouchPro2 got stolen... The fact that they didn't mention anything like that leads me to believe they can't tell just by the sim card.
[HD2 General] c2tmdsn:
i buy/sell phones on craigslist almost weekly and put my sim in all of them

when i call t-mobile to change the internet plan they always ask me where i bought the phone. i always say from t-mobile and they never say anything about it. guess they cant really tell
[HD2 General] ruwan7:
hope this helps

Hi,

I'm not in the US but i always purchase phones from US and UK on ebay.

Always when i buy phones which are doubt to be stolen or reported as stolen i use this site www.checkmend.com.

They are even recommended by ebay. They claim to have a connection to a database that has all the information on Mobile Phones, Laptops, GPS navigators, etc. Which they can track by the serial number.

In your case you will need to provide them with the IMEI number of your phone and they will give a report on the status of the phone and past owners if they are registered. (they send this report by email instantly. they charge you USD 2.99 for this service. i thinks its quite worth than the risk.)

in my experience I've tried this service twice and a HD that i bought from the UK was returned with a report that said "This item has been blocked during its lifetime by one or more UK network(s)." which means it was reported lost or stolen.

and i even tried my HD2 which i'm using currently which i got from US cos i didn't get any box or accessory with it. But the report came out clear and i am in peace of mind.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
usefull site. does it give any detail? i blocked my last phone thinking i'd lost it, 4 weeks later it turned up in a friends sofa, so i had them un block it and used it for another 18months.

i guess that would give the response you gave above..
[HD2 General] ek9beast:
Someone mentioned the IEM number that is the way they can tell if its stolen. So when and IF you ever take your phone into the store to have the useless sales people help you solve some problem. That is how they will know if its stolen. If there is a way to tell by electronic signal Tmobile simply doesnt care. I asked when I bought mine and they told me to get insurance. I asked how do you know if I dont just keep the phone and get a new one for 100 bucks. IEM number shows up was their answer.
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
Your IMEI and sim info are constantly broadcast about the cell network, you don't have to go into a store for this information to be picked up.

http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr is one of the most common websites for checking your IMEI number (it's free), but do be careful with posting your IMEI/Serial number online at any site. Some are looking for valid IMEI numbers to use illegally.
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
Damn those shady Craigslist guys...
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
I could be mistaken but I believe that if you select the G1 unlimited data plan, then any smart phone you have after that will not need to be updated...I am using the G1 plan with my HD2 and it works fine. So maybe you can avoid lying to them.

Im looking for a binary of dropbear but i cant seem to find one that will work with our phone.

The situation.

At work they block everything, so i figure since i can adb into my phone, and since it has its own internet connection, i can use a cli ssh client to run around the internet doing the things i need to do from my shell.

can anyone please compile it or post it? ive looked for a couple of days.

much obliged.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigs17201:
My Blackberry's had a magnet sensitivity or something that when in a case/holster,etc it would go into a "screen off" mode, or if enabled "locked".

Does anyone know if the EVO has this same thing. I absolutely hate having to continuously push the power button to get the screen to come on when I take it out of my pocket and would love to get a case if this works. It would be cool that the screen would automatically turn off when putting in case, and when pulling out, the screen would come on and all I would have to do is swipe to unlock it.

I searched around but couldn't find anything related to my question... THANKS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriptx:
sounds like what you really need is another blackberry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeefied:
I believe there is some type of sensor present, but it is used to put the device into carkit mode. I've already had this go haywire and had to get a replacement EVO. With the open source opportunities our devices present I'm sure someone could change the function of this sensor with time, but at present I don't believe this function is present.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Yeah, nothing like that as of yet, but I don't see why someone couldn't build it in. There are only two issues that I could see arise from this though:

Issue 1: If you ever bring your phone close to a magnet, won't it lock it? I know, how rare could that happen, but still.

Second: You would have to have either an app running at all times to detect this, and thus further diminish your battery life or you would need it built into android. Good luck with the latter, but the former is probably doable (kind of like the Motorola Droid's docking station thingies.)

All the app would need to do is detect the magnetic pull and lock the phone, then when goes away while in a locked state it unlocks it.

Either way, there's nothing out as of yet, and I doubt there will be, so don't hold your breath.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I wonder if maybe RIM has this idea patented? If so, then you'll never see it. I'll bet it's patented since I don't know of any other phone that does it. Though, my knowledge of phones is limited, still...

Hey.

I need to flash my ROM so i'm backingup all my texts and stuff.

I'm using PIM backup.

But it doesnt seem to be working properly.

There are about 65000 texts on my device.

PIM, however, upon backup completion displays a messaging saying it successfully backedup 30k-something texts.

WHERE are the remaining 40k texts ?

Is there any better backingup software out there ??

P.S: SPB is worthless.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] advanced15:
PIM Backup compress its backup like winrar and 7zip thats why smaller.

i think option to change in PIM Backup

compress backup

binary backup(faster)

if u dont tick either u can read the backup with text editor like notepad
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jo_iii:
Let me guess, the exact number of messages it backed up is 32,768? Or is it 32,767? If so, this is a software limitation concerning 16-bit signed variables.

What settings did you check anyway? Did you enable binary backup?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] judicious:
if you're rooted, how do you remove apps?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] froggyarts:
I'm going to assume you mean the AT&T bloatware stuff.

I believe you need to use a Command Line (Terminal) app from within the Aria or use the prompt on your PC/MAC/LINUX to get to the device and then delete the bloatware .apk's from there.

How to do that? Beats me.. I just did a quick google to figure out how :/

EASY ANSWER: look for attn1's posts on rooting the Aria and his Liberated Aria rom. if you rooted, install the unrevoked custom recovery. then reboot into the recovery screen, which will be Clockworkmod Recovery. Flash attn1's custom image for the Aria that removes all of the AT&T bloatware.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Mr Kyle:
Could you also use a program like Titanium Backup? Thats what i used to remove unwanted apps on my nexus.

Sprint says they have 4G in Boise, ID and the surrounding area including Nampa, which is where I live (About 20 mi. from Boise). I've been running speed test on 3g and 4g everywhere I go. I'm lucky if I even have the dot on 4G unless I'm in a sprint store or LOS of a tower.

So far, 4G is always half the speed of 3G, almost always. The only time it hasn't been much slower is when I was standing in the sprint store.

On 3G I avg. between 150 to 850 kbps down - 50 to 500ish up.

On 4G I've gotten anywhere from 150 to 3000 kbps down. But anything over 1000 kbps down was when I was standing in the sprint store or within sight of a sprint tower.

Ping is 200 at its low and has been all the way up to 800ms.

As far as which sprint servers I'm connected too, they seem to be anywhere from KS to CA and once in a while in ID or CO.

I don't know about you, but this seems to be wayy slower than what the rest of you are reporting as "slow", sadly. Because at this point, 3g is beating 4g and 3g isn't even close to its capasity. (Got 1.5mpbs down on my iphone 3G)

Wifi works great, 5 down, 1 up even with 0 bars cross the house, by the way.

I love the evo and android, and sprints pricing, but even with millions upon millions of iphones out there, att can somehow keep their speeds up.
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
I'm almost right there with you. I was driving down I-270 in St. Louis with full 4G bars and I was only getting 1.5 Mbps. I get that through 3G!!! So why am I enduring the pain of this battery life when I got the same speed from my blackberry?

Ok...that's not meant to be answered. I really really really love my Evo, but like any mobile device, it has its flaws.
