[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoN_HD2:
I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.

Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.

Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.

Any help appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itamar:
Hi there,

Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.

For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.

Bye,

Itamar

I thought It was time I spent some time enjoying android instead of just tweaking constantly. So I installed some games; one of them being iMobster.

I open the game app and it says I need to sign in with my Storm8 Account, (which I dont have yet)... there is no option on the app's signing page to register a new account.

So I googled storm8 and went to their site.... again there is no signup link. So I go to the storm8 forums and see a register link ("Don't have a Storm8 Account yet?").... but that just says that you register through the games settings menu....I CANT GET TO THE SETTINGS MENU WITHOUT SIGNING IN! Doh!!

Is it just Android versions of Storm8 Games that dont allow new users? Or are signups closed full stop? Or is This some form of 'attempted copy protection' caused by the HD2 not being a 'native' Android device?

I searched the storm8 forums for an hour and found nothing useful and I cant ask a question there as I dont have an account :rolleyes: lol

Can anyone shed any light on this?

If there is NO WAY to sign up for us HD2 Android owners, does anyone have an old unused account that they want to donate? (Not looking to take a 'good' account here, would rather sign up myself if at all possible).

Anyone managed to signup using their HD2?

(PS I have installed 2 other storm8 games and they behave the same way...no signup :( )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
I have no idea.

As this is not at all specific to the hd2 port of Linux (and android) I suggest moving this thread to the general XDA android section.

cheers

I had the same dilemma, I have tried many builds and it seems to only occur with FROYO builds, if you go back to Eclair you will be able to play your game, so I just use 2 sd cards one with Eclair and the other with Froyo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fi3ry_icy:
Storm8 games are currently not compatible with froyo... many people on froyo are complaining about the interface glitches due to upgrading to froyo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
ahhh that might be it then....maybe storm it disabled the signup option when one of their apps detects froyo?

thanks for the info :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rexfelis:
Is the solution still to use Eclair or did they update the game to work with Froyo?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ventura8:
you could try android 2.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734350 to sign up and return to 2.2 to play :)

i am trying it now and reporting back

EDIT: on android 2.2 all worked fine. i created an acount and went back to 2.2 to see that all storm8 games don;t recognize the login, they say the username and pass are incorect :( so maybe we just have to wait for and update,

Unique Device ID is needed *#*#4636#*#* should show it

if not get Android ID from market

If you downgrade you should be able to create an online account thru the game then transfer this to the upgraded phone via the username / password login method ( can only be done once storm8 account is made from device ID )

or downgrade and create and acount and just use s8onpc ... ( yet to see if you can just create an new account knowing an ID number as all my phones are used atm ...)

hi,

I ve installed it on hd2 with MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4..... running on it and it worked fine. I ve played 2 days now and after the second day my account got banned :rolleyes: unknown reason... and by the way I read this application is able to read your sms and phone number out of your phone, not cool if its true.

Each time i closed the application the profile was gone, so i decided to import it back using the settings menu , which worked well. .. until I got banned
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zappattazz:
I play all 8 storm8 games on my myTouch 3G with Froyo 2.2

On any game that you play, go to the main game page, you'll see a "gear" or "gog" icon near the bottom, select that icon. This brings you to another screen with 3 tabs, choose the tab labeled "Storm8". On this screen, mine account is already setup so it shows my information but if you haven't setup an account yet it will let you create one here or give you a web link to the Storm8 page.

Enjoy!
[Touch HD General] iMPOSTER81:
Hi.

I got a problem with my HTC Touch HD.

It's running on the stock Rom Windows Mobile 6.1 and i tried yesterday to install

I installed it on a clean 8 Gb SD card and ran harriet once. After att bootup sequence the phone went black so i did a soft reset and pulled the SD card.

Since then whenever i am in normal Windows Mobile i can't run most of my installed programs.

And i cannot uninstall or reinstall new or old programs. When i try to install a program it goes so far as to accept the certificate for the program but stopps directly after that with an error message that says the program did not install.

Any ideas on what the problem is. I would like to avoid a hard reset. I did a backup of most of the stuff on the phones internal memory but not all of it.

Thanks Imposter.
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
...

make sure you backed up you files, contacts, mag etc

hard reset..

format sd.. (fat32)

put only android on sd (not in a folder)

complete startup settings (wm)

run android

select blackstone

install to sd

wait for android to boot

it takes about 15-20mins (blackstone)

then screen goes black

wait for a vibration

it will boot android to a lock screen

wait for everything to boot up.. (operator etc)

unlock..
[Touch HD General] iMPOSTER81:
Well that's just the problem i cannot backup my files because i cannot install any programs like SPB Backup to do a backup. I can manually via ActiveSync copy files but then i won't get everything like i would with a backup program.
[Touch HD General] iMPOSTER81:
Nobody got any ideas on how i can solve the problem so i can install or run programs on my Blackstone?

I tried to start programs that doesn't need to be installed but i get the same error message that the "program cannot be opened or.....".
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
...

just back up what you can via active sync..

you WILL need to hard reset or reflash..

or

try uninstall everything if you can??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F1DGET:
Hi to all

I can't seem to find anything about the problem i am having with my X1...

Everyone on the form has problems with the touch screen , and a lot have problems where they are unable to do multiple item selection in the file browser or message inbox...

Here is my problem , it seems that my X1 is alway doing a multiple selection in those areas.

eg 1. When opening the File Browser, i can't enter(brows into) a directory by taping on it, but if i tap on more than one directory , everyone i tap on is selected(highlighted)...

eg 2. When i am in the (TEXT)message inbox and i tap on a new message , it simply highlights the message , it doesn't "view" the message, if i tap on more than one message it highlights all that i tap on...

its as if my X1 is on multiple selection all the time, everything else is fine, but this is driving me mad...

is there some test app i can run to indicate activity on the touch screen to see if it is active and what type of touch gestures it is receiving...

or if any of you have any other explanation or hints to what may be wrong

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] croques:
If keeping your Android free from software that spies on you and your data is important to you, you might want to consider an occasional check.

Get a terminal emulator from the market an load it on your phone.

Open the terminal app and become super user:

su

Then enter

netstat -taupe

What follows will be a list of open net connections with IP addresses, both local and foreign. Sometime the process controlling the connection is also given - but not always.

Look over the foreign addresses. Any you are suspicious or unsure of, you can check on your PC.

In Linux open a terminal; in Windoze run cmd -w from the start menu to get a terminal window. Then issue a whois [IP ADDRESS] command. For example...

whois 209.85.229.102

The result will show information about the host for that IP address - in this example it turns out to be Google... probably one of the good guys... (but until the net neutrality issue is sorted the jury is still out).

So if you find a link to some unknown host belonging to a Internet Provider, in, say Brazil or China, that really has no business being connected to your phone, you may want to think about removing the app that added it, or asking its developer some serious questions.

It might be an idea to run this kind of check fairly often and especially after loading hacks of proprietary applications.

Hi all,

Apologies if this is old or a thread already exists... I have searched but didn't find anything.

I don't know if this is a known thing or not... :confused: if not maybe someone else can test to confirm its not just me??

playing around with my G1 last night I stumbled on this which resulted in me using the phone as usual but with no google account (no market as a result but I don't mind as I have apks)

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Mail Storage > clear cache

After doing this run market or try editing your sync items and you should find that it takes you to the wizard to setup your google account!

Hi I've been trying to root the Orange 2.1 ROM

I've posted on the 2.1 Rooting thread here:

Although the rooting method above worked it took out my wifi :(

any thoughts as im back on the 2.1 orange stock rom

I thought I'd start a new thread as I was going a bit OT on the other one and this is specific to rooting the Orange 2.1 Rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
So you're looking to get a custom recovery installed but to use the official orange release with root privileges right?

Have you tried this for root?

As for installing a custom recovery you could install ClockworkMOD Recovery when you've got root i believe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JonathanCassar:
that root method worked sweet thanks!

I installed task killer so I know what procs are running in the background. I constantly find some apps are loaded even I didn't use them and even after I kill them, they still pop up every now and then. I'm just wondering is that normal?
[Legend General] cryshop:
Some apps (not system apps) start automatically because other apps need them.

Example :

-HTC Contact, Dialer need Facebook, Peep among with them.

-Music also turns on automatically if you use Music widget.

-HTC News needs RSS reader.

-Mail needs Gmail.

-Messages should not be killed.

I don't know how to stop them permanently but I know an App : Autostarts that may help you. I also remove Facebook.apk and HTCTwitter.apk because I dont use them.
[Legend General] jorgesalvador:
I don't use the music widget but I get the Music and Doubletwist apps constantly autostarting themselves, which being the OCD guy that I am annoys me quite a bit, since I rarely use those apps.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10940342

It seems that due to popular customer demand on the vodafone forum, the 2.2 update for the Desire will be arriving with next to no Vodafone customisation.

I was looking for a similar place to vent my frustration at Orange as surely their 'customisation' must be the worst of the lot?

I was looking for an official Orange forum where I could jump on a bandwagon myself or allow others to jump on mine. I had no luck however.

Anyone know if there are any Orange Bandwagon car parks about where these frustrations could be vented?

Thanks for any info

[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:
OK so I noticed there isn't exactly a lot of development for the Streak, personally I don't like butchering existing roms, I would rather build from source, this is what I do for the HTC Desire and is hopefully what I intend to do for the Dell Streak.

Android has been built from source for a variety of devices within the XDA community so why not the Dell Streak? Well this is where I am hoping to change things.

I've started work on a vendor so we can build Android from source for the Streak.

My work is available here

If anybody else has experience and wants to contribute please let me know.

I estimate its about 80% complete at the moment and I'm hoping to get it provisionally finished by tonight or tomorrow, and then I will try and build Eclair as a first.
[Streak 5 Android Development] RobbyTouchHD:

I'm trying a froyo build for the Streak now, wifi and bluetooth will probably be broke initially but I'm hoping that the graphics, sound and radioif will be ok.
[Streak 5 Android Development] RedMist:
Brilliant news! Let us know how it goes!
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
cool, a few of us have been trying with the codearoura git.

there's issues with building a valid boot.img and it looks like the 1,6 kernel is a mashup of various ones..

I think its time to start applying pressure to Dell to get them to release the source code now..
[Streak 5 Android Development] funaki:
AdamG, I am using your custom ROM on HTC desire and its awesome. I'm really glad that you are gonna be working on Rom for dell streak which I'm getting in few days time.

Your work is awesome. Thank-you.
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:
I wouldn't recommend using the codeaurora git, the people who work on that submit most of the patches to gerrit, so the AOSP git contains most of the enhancements of codeaurora.

Dell should of released the kernel long ago, all other major vendors have done it and I don't see what makes them any different.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Everything would be fine if Dell released their damn kernel source (like their lawfully required to) :mad:

Regardless, i'm looking forward to your work Adam! I'm having ROM-flash-withdrawal symptoms :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:
Just thought I would add, I think we will lose the camera completely if we want to use Froyo, the older 1.6 libcamera.so is not compatible. The new 2.1 release from Dell might work, so if anybody has 2.1 on their Streak let me know.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
I use my streak for media, surfing and gaming so I'm up for getting rid of the camera if I can have flash 10.1 and jit. Looking forward to your release.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
can all those who are registered on the dell community forums ( I can't login) please make a formal request for the source code for the streak.

Remind them that they MUST release it and quickly to be compliant with the GPL..

that other companies manage to get the source code out the same time the devices are released, and that the streak has been available in the UK for quite a while now..

If they don't comply with due haste then we will get gpl-violations involved..

the more that post the better..
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:

great effort, guys, I'll follow this with interest. I was contemplating buying the Streak whilst visiting the USA as it's so much cheaper than the UK, but then I found out even off-contract they're locked to ATT!! I'm sure with some community effort the Streak will become recognised as one of the great android devices.

might be worth dropping a note to this blog

[Streak 5 Android Development] carlosloz:
We are trying to change the kernel, because we need at least 2.6.32 for extra bluetooth capabilities. I have tried at least 25 different kernel config (from 2.6.29 to 2.6.35+, cyanogen and official android kernels) without luck. Reading the .config from /proc/config.gz in the dell, it uses some not released drivers :(

Using the "official" dell kernel, it goes to black after of the dell logo, and then the init scripts starts (even using a empty ramdisk). With other kernels it remains in dell logo screen :(, sadly ADB requires starts the adbd daemon, so we can't see the error during booting the kernel.

Regards,

Carlos.
