Hello

Is there any program that can change permissions of the internal/external sd card?

I am a rooted user with root explorer and can change the permissions of all other files except the ones of the two storage cards...

Anyone has a clue about this?

tnx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
If you're talking about /sdcard/, the reason is that the permission mechanism in linux/android is implemented by the filesystem. The /sdcard/ filesystem is a windows filesystem (FAT or NTFS, I think FAT). This filesystem does not support UNIX-style permissions like the other filesystems on your phone (ext2/3/4, squashfs,...).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bingobadgo:
I am having a problem where suddenly none of the Apps on my phone can write to the SD card, what is the solution for the permissions problem? I can read from it ok and both read and write when it is in my computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Madala_ZA:
Did you sort this? I'm having a similar issue, can't write to my SD card..

I get this error message when I try to change permissions: "sdcard permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only."
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Madala_ZA:
All good. Re-formatted my SD card (FAT32).. fixed the problem.

Hi all,

I work for a company that has a lot of HTC touch2 phones. We've had a lot come back recently with similar 'unexplained' damage to the screens which stops the touchscreen part from working. The screen itself seems fine though. I've taken a picture one and attached it.

Does anyone have any idea what might cause this? I'm presuming just screen pressure but it'd be nice to be sure :)

Cheers

Louis
[General Topics] Mithent:
It's showing the "oily smear" issue which seems quite common with HTC's resistive touchscreens. I have a problem with it on my Touch Pro, although the touchscreen is generally usable - it sometimes requires some rubbing to "unstick" the layers of the touchscreen before it works though. When it first happened, the screen didn't work at all.

I hope someone recognizes the problem i have with my HD2.

I had a 8 GB sd hc storage card that came with my phone, my phone corrupted the SD card and made it un-useable. When i put it in my computer is said that de capacity was 30,9 GB.

Vodafone gave me a new storage card and i though that was the end of my problems. Later i installed the newest version op Windows live on my phone en gave it a soft reset. After that my second SD storage was corruptes again. In my computer the capacity was now 1,30 TB but not usable.

Does someone have an idea what the problem is. Is it de software that corrups is or the phone itself?

Please help my because each time i lose a lot of data.

Does anyone know what happened or if its still a go? I cant be the only one who has way to much music to fit on their phone and would rather it stay all a comp leaving you gigs of extra space :)

If this has been mentioned before im sorry, i did search lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
I know it isn't much help, but there's two articles here about it ( pretty much the same info ).

Android 2.2 Froyo gets remote app installs & iTunes streaming

Android 2.2 (Froyo) gets OTA apps and iTunes streaming

They don't really go into specifics, but they do mention the one-click app installs that we haven't seen yet either. Hopefully once FroYo starts official rolling out, we'll see both these features ( although the AppBrain install is still great =] ).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mu5ic92:
i started a thread about this same feature a while back and was met with a pretty good response. turns out theres already a program on the market called "mspot" which u make a account down load the program on your computer and then the app on your phone. the service is free for the first 2.0 gb which should be enough for some decent music. you should look it up iv been using it for the past few weeks and its been amazing. its like having your itunes library on your phone!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarlath:
Hello!

I recently purchased myself an HTC Desire in Sweden. It appears though that the retailer had imported it from either Spain or Portugal since the documentation was all in Spanish. When I turned on the phone with my SIM card it asked, in Swedish, if I wanted to copy the contacts and so forth from the SIM.

When the set up guide then started it was all back to English and when I wanted to pick a language, Swedish was not available (It had English, French, Spanish, and some other(s), can't remember exactly). I like English and all, but I cannot make do without Swedish when composing an SMS/text message for instance.

The phone obviously got some Swedish language support since it asked me to copy the contacts and whatnot when it started up. To clarify: I need to change locale and language on the phone. So, is there some way I can "unlock" the language or can I perhaps download and install the language package somewhere? (I do not want to root my phone.)

Thanks in advance!

Now all my txt messages and e-mails (including accounts) are gone.???????

Just found something else - I sent a txt to my phone from my wifes phone. it shows as 1 unread txt, but won't display txt - shows "No messages"

Also can't resync e-mail with outlook or download from server over 3G.

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know of a application that will let you connect to a exchange communicator company server, often refered as webim for exchange or office communicator standalone?
[Desire Themes and Apps] nihilist_:
Not sure on this one... I would assume it would either mean your Exchange Sync would have to run all the time. As I am sure Office communicator bolts on to the AD / Exchange users..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] oxhaotong:
Hi, I am newbie here but spent a lot of time testing the builds that developers have offered us. Big thanks to all the developers who are truly making HD2 more sexy and top toy in the market even though it has been there for almost a year (which merely happens to other phones, dare I say this?:))

Currently using Froyo (mattc, RC1.2) on HD2 with exceller dualboot loader (V1.02), working very stable and smooth. Asides the points which have been listed in their posts, I found the following not functioning properly (or just happened to m2??)

1. Every time it reboots, the bluetooth automatically turns on (reported by other users). The HTC bluetooth toggle works funny when I tap it to turn it off- becomes gray but seems refuses to turn off...

2. Can not use google voice search- "process com.google.android voicesearch has stopped unexpectedly-force close". Found some solution in Android Software Development in the forum (just search "voice search"), but I suppose it is only for nand android thus not the solution for our case?

3. The voice in Google navigation is funny, quite robot-ish, any way to change it?

4. My winxp-64bit cannot recognize it as USB storage. Charging with USB cable to PC is fine, but it does not pop-out for selection of functionality, even I manually change it to USB storage. (solved: using different USB port followed by uninstalling the driver in PC device manager, also I installed JRT Auto Mount software listed in market, which might help as well))

5...

Hope this thread is useful, and list your findings here so that our lovely developer can make HD2 perfect.

Firstly my Desire is from T-Mobile UK and am thinking of moving to a custom rom. Do I have to unlock the phone first before the rooting process? I am sure this has been covered many times so I am sorry in advance.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Ideally yes. Some radio updates can cause problems with branded phones, which then need to be unlocked.

Far safer, in my opinion, to get your unlock code beforehand, just in case it happens to you.

Hi, I have installed HSPL and attempted to load android on my HD2 Leo phone with the latest version. Once to Flashed the ROM my phone booted to a very basic Windows Mobile Energy O/S which keeps trying to boot to android. Once it starts booting android I just get a blank screen and everything freezes.

I am trying to restore my original O/S but even when I do a hard reset it still loads up Windows Energy. If I try and flash my original Windows Mobile ROM HSPL loads on the screen but it gives me a USB error connections.

So basically, Im stuck with this basic Windows Mobile Energy. Can anyone help (step-by-step if possible) with how I can restore the original Windows Mobile ROM onto my HD2 Leo. This problem is really stressing me out!!!

Thank you so much! :)
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
You should really make sure you know what your doing before you do it.

Ok, first check on your bootloader screen to make sure your device has hspl installed correctly.

download the normal windows mobile rom for your device, put your device in bootloader mode and connect it to the pc using the usb cable.

Run the ruu program.

yes try flashing the phone from the micro sd card but you need to use a smaller size card like a 1GB or so. enter bootloader and the flash will automatically start.

have you tried a hard reset?

*** due to post restrictions, the symbols in the example email address here have been substituted with "#" and "-"

When sending email from Pocket Outlook, the recipient (the "To:" field) can either be entered manually, or looked up from Contacts. However, in either case, if the email address matches one that is already stored in Contacts, that contact NAME is used as default, even if a different name has been specified.

For example, if the address abc#def-com belongs to ABC Company:

To: Something Else <abc#def-com>

- will automatically be changed to -

To: ABC Company <abc#def-com>

Is there any way around this?

Yes it is true.

It makes some noise, at the time of calling as well as at the time of soft reset (restart). Update for HTC HD Mini Ring tone clarity enhancement also does not make any changes in this noise.

I think its antenna hardware make this noise, but also I observed that in some areas like my apartment basement and lift as well as highway tunnels, where most of phone does not show any operator signal, this phone works as well as you can make or receive calls in those areas.

This is just my observation, just try it and let me know.

Also on black Berry's if u send a text it will show a symbol on the text you sent your friend ( showing if they received it and a different symbol on it showing they revived it and open it) These would be two great functions to have. One because you are calling some one you don't want your number and the other so you know they have received your text or they are just ignoring you)

So my question is. Is there a way to do this on my HTC Magic or is there and app i can download that can do this?
