[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kgj:
can someone please help? i recently bought a used tilt ii (HTC 8925) and have had several recurring problems since.

1) for some reason the phone seems to delete/lose my contacts. initially i manually entered contacts until i discovered active sync. after it lost those contacts the first time i copied contacts from my outlook phonebook (over 200) on my laptop. within a few days it lost those as well.

i figured this might have happened (somehow) after unsuccessfully attempting to delete some apps (mainly some games which i don't like); install new apps ( an RPN calc & updated version of S2U2) modifying existing layout using the Chome editor app.

so after the third time of losing contacts & reinstalling using active sync from outlook, i decided NOT to install/delete or change any apps. last nite i modified some contacts assigning several to different categories. woke up this morning & voila! all contacts are lost except for 6.. WTF???

what is causing this phone to lose contacts like this??

2) i have set pass word lock on my phone seems to work fine for a few days then suddenly it no longer recognizes my password. That is my situation now. & again it has happened before. i think i ended up powering down phone, removing sim card for a several minutes then rebooting.

what is causing this?

3) lastly my active sync program often does not work. it will not recognize my phone. & then when i make changes to get it to recognize the phone ( deleting the device & then adding it back), it won't recognize the settings for my outloook server. what is going wrong with this that i have to keep redoing this after so many days?

4) how do i do a system restore on this phone. i have searched for this as well with little luck on HOW to actually do this on the phone.

i hope these issues & questions make sense. lawd knows i sure can't make sense of what is going on with this phone. & yes i have searched on the forums for these issues & can't find full answers to the problems i have collectively.

my phone has WM 6.5 professional, ROM version: TPC_V11 Mega WWE; radio version 1.70.19.09, HTC touchflo (which i don't use);

Thanks,

kahlil

Ready the sticky/tutorial at the beginning of the forum - the instructions to flash original shipped ROM are in there. You have the same ROM I do.. it works great!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kgj:
thanks beatlefan i will check there again. that was the first place i looked when i got the phone, but don't recall seeing solutions to the problems i'm getting now. maybe i overlooked? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beatlesfan:
It sounds like something going on with the way you have ActiveSync configured. Make sure you have enabled the calendar and contact update box when you set it up. You also might try running the sync a couple of times.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] elander:
I Might be wrong but since you have a custom rom you might want to try flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the same custom rom, cuz sometimes it fixes strange issues like these. Hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kgj:
Thanks elander... i'm a rookie at this, how do i go about flashing the roms?

Hi guys, it seems a lot of these games today use a lot of storage space. Which is fine (for a while) because we have 2 Gigs. But my problem is, once these games are installed, such as Asphalt 5 or Lets Golf, their music or soundclip files are showing up in my music player cluttering up the whole thing pretty bad. Is there any way to make a folder hide itself from the Music player?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] bradycl_84043:
If you're rooted and have busybox, from terminal go to the folder(s) with the sounds you want ignored and use

touch .nomedia

If you are not rooted,

echo "" > .nomedia

will work. If you use this method you'll need to either reboot the phone or unmount/remount the SD storage from the phone to get the media to be scanned again.

You could also create an empty file with Notepad on your PC, then mount the phone to your pc and copy it to the folder(s) with sounds you do not want included. Make sure if you use Notepad to save the file you create as type "All files" so that you are creating .nomedia and not .nomedia.txt.

Hope this helps!

if i put this in my music folder will it prevent the photo gallery from showing album art of all my thousands of songs? i have to scroll for like 2 minutes thru my gallery as its showing all my album art!
[Vibrant General] popypopy:
I think so, but it would also hide all of your music from the music app..
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
bummer. i chalk this all up to google and ignoring media in Android ever since day 1.
[Vibrant General] bradycl_84043:
It's better to have the album art embedded in the tracks so that you don't have to have it in separate files.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Hi all,

I've successfully rooted my Galaxy S and want to start flashing new firmwares.

Having followed the tutorial, I've gotten my phone into Download mode (with the android on the screen sweeping) and connected to my PC via USB, but my PC says 'Driver Installation Failed' after it tries to install new hardware drivers automatically.

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I was wondering if I needed Kies installed on my PC first (so it might have drivers in it), but I can't get it to install at all. When I try installing the .exe it does the 'preparing installation files' and gets to 100% before disappearing and nothing happens, so it never opens the installer. I double checked the task manager and nothing happens once the 'preparing' reaches 100%, it all just stops. Compatibility mode didn't work either.

If Kies doesn't need to be installed for flashing new firmwares, all the better, but what do I need to do to get it to correctly install drivers in 'Download mode' for Odin?

Cheers! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Ah, solved!

I instead installed Samsung New PC Studio from samsung-firmwares, and even though it doesn't detect the phone and I exited it, my Galaxy S successfully installed drivers on my PC.

Flashing now! =O

There is no doubt Samsung Galaxy S is one of the most threatening competitors against the iPhone 4. It seems Samsung won’t stop with the nagging ads, but will step even further – give away a free Galaxy S to unsatisfied iPhone 4 users. Beat that, Apple!

Samsung UK offered free Galaxy S to a few angry iPhone 4 users on Twitter. Those people posted some complaints about the reception issues and later received a message to send their details and receive a free Galaxy S. This comes directly from the official Samsung UK Twitter account. Nice, eh?

I got my iPhone 4 a few hours ago and the first call I made dropped due to my natural handgrip. I’m certainly not surprised but really – the first one?! And it happened in an area with some perfect network coverage. A further inspection on the “death spot” shows all bars dropped to one, just by touching it on that special spot.

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-gives-away-free-galaxy-s-to-iphone-4-complainers-50000059/

So if anybody tells you there are no reception issues, take it with a pinch of salt. And if Samsung wants to give you a Galaxy S because of your iPhone 4 problems – take it too and spread the word about it. I know I would.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

You might want to consider carrying a spare battery if you're a real heavy user like me. As to switching off the data over 3G, You might want to try out SwitchPro. It's only a dollar.

Edit : sorry reply to the wrong thread. Ignore this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Haha, I'll be please to give them my SGS if they give me their iPhone 4. :D. Big difference in cost. Althouh, seriously, I want both of them as they're both very good phones.

If they're giving it free to disasatifield iPhone 4 users, hen I'm one of the dissatisfied one.

Welcome to modern age marketing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KHZidane110:
Funny how all of the people who have been given the free phone are all known tech bloggers, and not average customers.

Unintentional awesome:

I was just trying out google voice search for the first time. It all worked flawlessly, even with my aussie accent, except for one longer search.

I said: "Samsung Galaxy S Froyo Firmware Update"

It searched: "samsung galaxy s free iphone update"

Does it automatically look for popular searches or something if it's a bit confused?!

Hi There.

I just checked my phone and the update service is telling me that there is an update but it's only available on my PC.

I have the generic UK X10i with the R2BA020 firmware.

Has anyone applied the update? Is it worth applying ?

:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
If your 20 was OTA then the download is the one with all the 'stuff' in it. My OTA did nothing, the online everything.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I got the same msg too on my generic UK X10i (R2BA020 firmware) this morning...when I connected it to my pc ...it said I have the latest software...quite strange:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
Just updated and the firmware with SEUS and it is the same as before.

No improvements just a waste of time :(

Maybe there are some minor tweaks.

Ive had the same message and no option to update on SEUS... its odd as this has only been appearing since the start of the week on my phone.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angasreid:
I have a N1 that I recently was trying to root and superboot.

I rooted and unlocked the phone. I was trying to superboot is via fastboot and that's when something went wrong. It boots into 2.2, and allows me to unlock it, but the phone returns to the splash screen of the X and keeps looping.

What do I do? I've tried to reflash the orig. rom and it said that there was newer software and it wouldn't revert to an older version. Tits....

I'll gladly donate, someone just gimme a hand pleeease.

Thanks in advance.

yes, JMZ

So far for me the Desire v5 has been rock solid. I've had only one person say they hear an echo from me. This was after I loaded the JMZ cab. Don't know if that's the reason? Everything else works pretty stable enough for me. I can't save pictures from the internet though (save as-- get's an error and forces a quit).

Froyo with the latest Cotulla zImage runs good too. I like it alot better(v1) but market place will not download apps and mobile network internet works kindof. I can't login to certin sites, Facebook for one but the facebook app works fine. WiFi all sites work. I do already have my t-mo APNs in there.

WHAT WORKS FOR YOU= ROMS AND ALL?

PS are these ROMs considered rooted?:cool:

For me: I'm using Energy Rom (July 21) with Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and HSPL 2 and everything works fine except the Battery.. Desire v5 is kinda using alot of battery and Dans build is much worse and it kinda lags and things, and since i'm having that Sleep of death thing... i deleted it :)

That was my opinion :P

First let me say I find this thread very useful. I'd like to see more threads like this that follow a certain build (dan1j3l Froyo Desire Build, darkstone Eclair Desire Build, Froyo build by dan1j3l V1, etc). Then you throw in the variable of the zImage you're using. Otherwise you end up with 2 or 3 discussions with 500 posts.

Back on topic, I have desire v5 and Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar

Even with a 16gig class 2 microSD, it's fast.

Working:

Exchange mail (contacts, calendar, email)

IMAP and POP mail

Wifi even with DHCP (very fast)

3G data

Android Market

Camera, Camcorder

Call audio on phone.

Very few stutters, no sleep of death.

Presence sensor

GPS

Compass seems a little flakey, but works

Typing is very responsive

USB charging

Wired headset audio

Not Working:

USB data connecti0n to transfer files.

Bluetooth headset connects, but no audio in calls (pretty universal issue on all builds)

This combo, with my radio and ROM are fast and stable enough for daily use. Unfortunately the lack of Bluetooth audio is a deal-breaker.

Can't get GPS to work, camera does not work, and with this build i get diferent icons on top (battery and signal) then with the stock nexus one rom, is this a cab that has to be uninstalled.

I'm can already switch between sense and stock, so thats good.

For the rest everyting works well and i would say that it is for me almost a daily use rom.

Anybody any idea how to get gps working and camera?

on a personal note

still prefer winmo's sense than andy's

but i can tell ya all android was meant for hd2

with it's big and well spaced ui it's just perfect

and having dualbooting winmo and andy is just sweet

that being the case does anybody knows how to switch to launchpro mode after setting sense as default please
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
I didn't do anything special. When I started my Android journey, I couldn't get anything to load. Then I realized I had an outdated radio. I've always liked Dutty's ROMs so I loaded the one below and the most recent radio I could find.

I boot into WinMO. I already have HTC Sense killed because I just use SPB Mobile shell. I kill SPB Mobile shell and press CLRCAD.exe, then Haret.

I retested to make sure they're working. The GPS isn't working off WiFi. Google Maps always knows where I'm at and weather location is always where I'm at. I'm assuming GPS is working then.

However, I may be mistaken about the camcorder. I fires up and I and zoom in/out. However, double clicking the screen and it doesn't seem to be recording to memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnnyvb78:
to switch between sence and stock interface if that is what you mean.

---> settings ->Applications ->manage applications ->All ->HTC sense -> Force stop. then select the home button and there you can select HTC sense or Launcher.

FIX - How to stop the "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" message and conn

I'm so proud of myself for getting to post a fix, even if it is the most obvious fix in the world.

Evo is my first Android. When installing new roms, I would sometimes get the error of "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" So I would update the Wireless Tether app, reload the ROM, etc.

Today I did the easiest thing and I've never seen it documented before, so here it is. When you get that message, just hit the menu button and select Settings. While on the Settings menu, hit the menu button again and click "(Re)-Install binaries/configs." It's the only option. It is immediately updated and then everything works again.

I've seen thread after thread on this while searching and nobody mentioned this. I don't know why it took me/us so long to find this option! Anyway, if this is common knowledge then who cares, somebody will search for and find this fix at some point.

Later!

Dolphin HD was slow some months back IME but is nice to use now as an alternative. Having 6-7 windows opened in the background and bookmarks on SD card is very useful for me. I'm running the blue theme with it. So is xScope actually.
