If I remember correctly you need to install HTC sync on your CP. Or maybe use USB Deview.

Sent from my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpadgett:
I have no idea what I did but it is working now. I made no other changes to my PC. I had installed HTC Sync last week and got no changes. I spend the weekend with my phone plugged up to my laptop, running a fresh install of Fedora, and I go back to the PC today and get it listed in ADB Devices. I really wish this post could be more informative to people who are experiencing the same problem but I can not duplicate the error.

if you set an alarm on the calender item you get a 2 sec. sound and that is it..

anyone know a way to change the calender notification sound and/or make it longer... and louder thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMReuffurth:
You cannot change the sound so easily. The SGS would need a trackpad ou touchpad to select the Calender of which you want to change the notification sound.

But you can try searching calender notifier in market. This should allow you to change the sound. Personally haven´t tried it because i don´t use the calender to remind me.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoking3:
Yeah, and I thought I ve done something wrong. Unbelivable. I am starting to think that Android has not so much over Symbian. Very dissapointed. For every little damn thing we need to get a third party application. I am moving to Nokia N8 as soon as it's released. This android is exactly like windows mobile. A bunch of third party apps to get the basic stuff going.

I use this calendar snooze, its brilliant, you get a prompt to snooze for any length of time, just like in old windows mobile and you can setup the calendar notification sound, etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daijirok:
if your phone is rooted you can change the notification sound, i've done this some week ago by replacing original audio file with a custom and longer sound. If you want to try search in developement or theme forum
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
no you are mistaken did you even try it b4 you commented.. the notification sound is not the same as the calendar alarm notification sound. and yes you can snooze the calendear but i know no way of change what notification sound is used for this

hey....im actually having trouble with it...i type in what it says and an error comes up saying "windows cannot find 'adb'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." any ideas...i have hero cyanogen mod...windows 7, i connect on the same wifi...but the only thing i can think of is that my wireless router has two different signals, one for n and another for g...i connect to the g one on my phone and pc but it still wont work...thanks

have you changed directories to where your adb is?

ummm..idk what you are really talking about...i jsut got into the whole phone hacking thing...can you explain a lil bit more. are you talking about on the computer or phone? and is there some software you have to download on the pc first? thanks
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
This is awesome. I use my laptop the most, and now I can start the bootanimation so people think I'm cool from the other room :D
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
are you serious? you have to load the android SDK. ADB is NOT a command built into ANY os! obviously your new to computers too. after installing the sdk be sure to create an environment variable pointing to the tools folder so that you can call adb from any directory.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I'm probably being a bit rude here but it very much irks me when people blindly type terminal commands with no knowledge of what it is they are entering.
[Hero CDMA General] prios914:
Nice find! Works great! :D
[Hero CDMA General] cgorki:
I installed the SDK and connected to my phone via "adb connect 192.168.1.4:5555". But it doesn't show up as a drive / usb drive.

How do I make it work? Is there a command to mount it as a drive??

thx
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Just a script I wrote...

Hey guys.

I just wrote a quick batch script that automatically starts the wireless connection to your phone. It's a lot quicker IMO than typing adb connect blah blah blah. All you need to do is change the IP address in the script to whatever IP address your phone uses. I recommend reserving the IP in your router so you won't need to change it.
[Hero CDMA General] Vandelay007:
adb server is out of date ?

I keep getting this error when trying to use adb wireless

***Edit - somehow it just started working*** I can't explain how, but I'm all set now -
[Hero CDMA General] Ipepper:
What do I do?

When the command screen comes up (the black box), what do I type in? I have the 192.168 etc number, but it appears that I need to type in something before that. I tried variations of adb connect, but it does not work. It looks like I need to either 1) Change the drive; 2) issue a command or both. I'm a newbie at this. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
There will be 3 Epics in my household come 8/31. I am wondering if we could get away with purchasing insurance for just one of the Epics, and have it cover all 3.

Do they record the serial number of the phone and tie it to each insurance policy? What about any other info that could tie a specific phone to the policy rather than just the phone model?

If not, I don't see how we couldn't have 1 policy cover all 3 phones. :D Thanks
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Each phone is tied to a line. If Sprint was a GSM network then maybe you could go sim card swaps and maybe get away with it. However since each phone on CDMA networks is stuck to a phone number and thus a line, I am pretty sure they can tell which phone is being replaced.

e.g. if i have 3 phones with numbers 000-000-0000, 111-111-1111 and 222-222-2222, and phone 111-111-1111 breaks but only 000-000-0000 is insured, and I bring in 111-111-1111 to replace it as 000-000-0000 which is insured, any new phone they send me would be activated as 000-000-0000 in other words they'd see that they are activating a phone for a number already in use. I hope this idea makes some sense.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
This will not work at all. If you DO decide to swap the phones around, you can't put in a claim or repair until the device has been active on that line for 30 days.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
Yes - that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply and good info!

So at $7 per month and a $100 deductible, it would take 57 months to total the $500 off-contract price of the Epic.

If we got the insurance for all 3 phones, it'd be 1/3 the amount of time; 19 months to total $500 between us. The insurance still seems appealing (at least until used Epics start showing up on Ebay for ~$200).

If we wait until day 29 to add the Equipment Replacement Program, is accidental damage, theft, etc. covered for the first 4 weeks after the phone is purchased? (Does that 30-day satisfaction policy cover this?)

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I was told by a sprint rep that the deductible for the Epic would be $150 - and you only get one replacement. Then they drop your insurance.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Actually... there is actually a loophole to have all your phones covered with only 1 insurance on your lines but I won't write it on here (sorry guys) and nothing is covered with the first 30 day policy except a return/exchange. Damage, theft, etc must be done thru insurance not thru the 30 day policy.
[Epic 4G General] yglup:
Sorry to bother u bro, when u get a chance can u pm me about this?
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Get the best buy insurance instead of the sprint insurance and you can do this. The best buy salesman actually suggested it to me when my wife and I bought the same phone. We are on a family plan and he just added one insurance policy. He said if either breaks just bring it in and we get a new one. Pretty sweet deal in my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
You were told the wrong info. That rep was a moron.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
I assume I'd have to buy the phone from them, too? I have a hard time giving BB my business, so, if that's the case, I'll have to pass.
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
Lots of odd information in here. Sprint's insurance is tied to a particular phone number, it has nothing to do with the phone, they cover whatever phone is on that number. There is a way to scam their system, but I won't be posting it. Best Buy lied to you. They lie to sell PSP. Their insurance is garbage, it used to be worth messing with back in the days of the Treo 600, but they changed it. I ended up causing such a scene over the change I got a Treo 650 for free. Sprints TEP is good because it covers manufacturer's defects too. I know you have a 1 year warranty, but that always take WEEKS to get settled. If your phone messes up with Sprint and is isn't physical, lost, or water the almost always replace it in store. If the phone can still make and receive calls they usually order a new one for you. I have gotten upgraded MANY times due to a phone being faulty. $7 is a lot of money over the course of a 1 or 2 year contract, especially considering there is still a $100 deductible if it is physical,lost or water. Given my history with phones and the fact that it covers manufacturer's defects and random issues for free, I always keep the insurance. If I was using a free or cheap phone I would pass though.
[Epic 4G General] foolforfood:
Just one additional thought OP, what you're describing is insurance fraud, sorry to say. it may not be huge insurance fraud but its fraud nonetheless.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
The best buy insurance gets me a new phone even if I drop it off a building or in a pool. Sounds good to me! Tell me why its bad?
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
Have you ever used the Best Buy insurance? It didn't work anything like what I was told or how you described when it actually came time to collect. My Sprint insurance netted me upgrades MULTIPLE times over as we have 15 or so lines. PPC6700>Mogul, Mogul>TP1, TP1>TP2, MotoQ>Intrepid. I have also gotten my phone replaced for something small every time I go to sell them so I can sell either a brand new one or a like new refurbished unit. I have actually made money on every upgrade I have done since my Treo650. I will never use BestBuy or their PSP again. I have bought them on about 10 items, in my life, only 1 time has it worked out for me. Even then it was not what I was promised and they basically just sent my item back to the manufacturer and foot the repair bill. That was after I had to speak with about 10 people finally ending up with a store GM. You can do what you want, but for my money I will stick with what has been working in my benefit since 2004. I will however buy my phones through Bestbuy or Radioshack to avoid the MIR.
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
I cannot even believe this discussion is real. The PSP for the Epic is $170, I believe that is before taxes are added. That works out to be the same price, save the deductible, and Sprint does in-store swap outs and repairs. They also overnight your phone for free if you do have to file an actual claim. I am on a Premier account so I wouldn't even get the full value of my $170 PSP, even if it wasn't garbage.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
May I ask where you guys got the information that the deductible for the Epic is 150+?
[Epic 4G General] radar5:
A Square Trade warranty might work for you. I don't know if they would take a serial number down for a cell phone or not, but they do require a receipt so having three phones my set off a flag for them. There quote is $144.00 and a $50 deductible applies to some claims. They do have 30% off coupon regularly which would bring it to $100 and you have 30 days from product purchase to buy their warranty.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
I was aware that it might be fraud before I posted, but it really depends fine print. I would expect this type of thing would be so obvious that they'd cover it in the fine print.

I gotta run though - I need to move my car to the driveway, fill up my pillow case with golf balls, and wait for the storms to roll in!

insurance q

So, since the epic 4g will probably be in great demand, I'm trying to have a clear understanding of the situation w/ epic 4g and the TEP plan through Sprint. (I have bad luck.. I've lost and dropped phones like its my full time job) Now, say I accidentally drop or lose or on the way out of the Sprint store get mugged and thieved in epic proportions. Will I be able to file a claim with my insurance if I've had TEP for years within the month?
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
Yes.

My experience with Sprint insurance has been somewhat good. Back in the day when I used to have a Sanyo Katana II, it got stolen so I called in the insurance and asked them for a new phone, I argued a bit, asked "nicely" to speak with a manager and ended up getting a newer version of the Katana, the Katana DLX

[Captivate General] bird333:
I have tried to enable the Non-market apps by modifying the 'settings.db' file. However, it doesn't work for me. I can change things by using the 'market enabler' app, but it changes back to being restricted on phone reboot. Does anyone know if there is some data on the sim card or somewhere else in the filesystem that controls this?

Thanks for any insight.
[Captivate General] bird333:
Anybody know?
[Captivate General] TechTony13:
The settings.db file and the market permissions app attack two different issues. Settings allows you to install apps not downloaded from the market, the app lets you see more apps in the market.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Furthermore, the market restrictions revert back after your reboot. This is normal. I think you can make it so that Market Enabler runs at boot, but I'd rather have it off until I need it.
[Captivate General] bird333:
Oh. Thanks for the clarification.

just rooted and flashed cm6 and my it says that under status "my phone number unknown" ive rebooted/ removed sim and put back in, i can call people and my number comes up, text people. why would it say this? i can call my number and enter my passcode to check my voicemail. . . .
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
I'm working on a fix for this. It does not affect all people, but so far I have tried reinstalling the radio, changing to other builds, but any and all 2.2 builds I try show this. If I install a 2.1 build, it will display the number without problem.

I'll be trying to change the format of the number on the SD Card later on today. Right now mine is 1xxxxxxxxxx. I will try 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx and just xxx-xxx-xxxx to see if that displays it.

Unfortunately, after that, I have nothing else to try and it will prove that the problem is, in fact, with the roms that the devs are using.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] lanzemurdok:
I don't know if this is something that will help, but this is something i tried for a customer at the store i work at. He was having the same problem so i called customer care and they pushed out a text message to him saying "welcome to your new [x plan] your number is xxx xxx xxxx.

After that we restarted and it displayed his number.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Alright...so I have some bad news...

I put my sim into a blackberry and changed the number from 1xxxxxxxxxx to just xxxxxxxxxx since you can't do dashes on the blackberry in the number field...restarted the slide with the sim, and it still showed "unknown."

I decided to check the sim that was in the blackberry, and sure enough, THE NUMBER DISPLAYED!

I just called T-Mobile again to see if they could provision my old sim card from my G1 but she said that it takes 2 weeks to go through the process to reactivate an old sim, but that I can go to a store for a new one and she noted in my account to waive the $20 fee.

She also said that she has helped out a ton of TIKL users for this same issue. She did say that for some she was able to send the ota provision of the number as long as the sim is placed into a non-android phone for the ota.

I'll post back tomorrow after I go to the T-Mobile store...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
So at this point I'm at a loss...

Went to T-Mobile, got a new SIM card, popped it in...phone number unknown.

Came home, called Customer Care, spoke with a tech in the PDA/Smartphone department, he tried EVERYTHING he had done to get other Android phones to display the number...no luck...

I may just have to swap the phone out...

:(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Well, its unfortunate, but apparently this is something the powers at be (Cyanogen, Chief, etc.) are going to have to fix. There is some incompatibility between their ROM, the radio software, and the SIM cards that is causing this issue.

I am back on Chief's 2.1 build and the number shows up no problem.

I'll forward this thread to Chief and Cyanogen and see if they are able to lend any support.

Thanks, and sorry! :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] SamZzz:
I wouldn't blame it on the rom just yet...

I'm not so sure this is the ROM's fault.. as i have two phones here that disprove both things you've noticed on yours. I have rooted both mine and my husband's G1's and both are running Cyanogen ROMS. I'm running CM6 and my phone number displays just fine. His is running CM5.0.8 and the phone number is blank. In fact, I think I recall my phone number being missing at some point running an earlier CM rom and it came back on it's own.. I wasn't concerned with it at the time because everything worked so I can't say for sure WHEN it came back... but I've ran through MANY CM roms starting with 4.2.13. Hubby's phone was rooted and taken straight to 5.0.7 then later 5.0.8 (he doesn't like messing with experimental roms as much as I do. :rolleyes:).

Next time he's home (he's a truck driver ... one of the reason's he doesn't like to take chances with his phone) I'll pop his SIM back into one of the old Sidekicks we've got laying around collecting dust and see what happens... We were going to play around with TIKL and that's when we noticed the issue....and also when I noticed that my phone showed the number again.

It's definitely an odd thing. I have not tried calling T-Mo yet to see if they can OTA the number to his phone... what's this about it having to be a non-android for this to work? First I've seen mention of that.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Tzatlacael:
Currently, I'm not rooted yet, and had this problem, I thought I was the doing of a suspesius app for music download I had, I cheched all other apps, and that one was the current one that read phone state and identity, I removed it and shut down took off battery and restarted. I did it twise, and even thought I'm not sure if it was that app fault, it's solved now thanks God

[myTouch 3G Slide General] smerff:
Call T-Mobile, make sure you get T2 or at least a rep that sounds like they know what they're doing in customer care, and tell them you need the "activation message sent via the OTI" and you'll also need your location cancelled. Works everytime I've done it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
SamZzz: Code mentioned that this happens sporadically on phones with any 2.2 based ROM. So there is something to do with the ROMs, but no one is quite sure yet. Luckily I am not having the problem, and so far, this seems to only be an issue for those using things like Tikl that rely n the number to be "known".
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
I've had this problem every since I got my SECOND G1. When I had my FIRST G1 I had it in my pocket and dumped a gallon of paint all down the front of me. Needless to say I needed a new phone after that. So I got a new one and it was fine for a while but I got a refurb and still had my original, paint covered SIM. It still worked fine but after a while I stopped receiving txts so I bought a new SIM and its the one I have in my slide right now, and it has NEVER shown my number as anything but UNKNOWN. In my g1 it said unknown. I have called tmobile numerous times and they'll tell me they're gonna fix it and tell me to check it in a couple hours and it should be fixed...never works. I honestly just kinda forgot about it. But its definitely not specific to one rom, or one device for that matter.

-BMFC
[myTouch 3G Slide General] smerff:
The reason it shows that is sometimes, for whatever reason, the sim doesn't push it's assigned mobile number to the phone itself. Making it unreadable, this actually happens on blackberries, iphones, etc as well. Just ask for that activation message via the OTA and that should fix it. As I've said, I have never had it fail for me when I have a customer experiencing the problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rodriguez27:
i am having the same problem. although its not a BIG deal but i do sometimes like to use tikl. but if what you are saying about having the activation message sent. if i change carriers will it get fixed? im asking because i will soon be changing carriers
[myTouch 3G Slide General] smerff:
It certainly should. It's always been the network/sim card not telling the phone the right information. So by changing networks it just quickly resolve itself. Especially with any cancel and then an activation.
