[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyandrwew:
i have no idea. ive been going at it and researching all day. basically the problem is my unlocked bootloader wont let me erase or flash userdata from passimg or from fastboot.exe
[General Questions and Answers] misterhatoola:
Hi all.

I did something foolish; installed a CAB, restarted the device (6.5.3), and since then I lost access to the Start Menu.

The simple yet long solution would be to reinstall the entire OS from flash (clean boot); but I hope I won't have to go that way. My device was working really good for the past few weeks, and it took me a long time to get it there.

So, is there a way I can access the "Uninstall Programs" shortcut/program without access to the Start Menu?

I've got a QVGA Motorola Motosurf A3100, running WM 6.5.3.

Thanks in advance,

Mr. Hat.

Can you access a file explorer?

If yes goto Windows/ControlPanel.exe

good day.
[General Questions and Answers] misterhatoola:
thanks dude, but there ain't no such file; could find 'ctlpnl.exe', a 1.7 kilobytes executable - that didn't give any response at all.
[General Questions and Answers] chopper the dog:
boo. sorry. 6.1 has that you would think that much would not have changed between 6.1 and 6.5.

The next thing I personally would do is SKTools. Very handy app, it's the only way i un-install programs anyway. Gets rid of all windows miscellaneous debris that windows leaves behind. Program has many other cool features.

good day.
[General Questions and Answers] misterhatoola:
DUDE!!! you HAVE SAVED ME!!! or at least spared me a clean boot, plus reinstalling everything, plus configuring... you've saved me a lot of time and effort.

SKTools did do the trick. Bentsi (that's my device's name) is back to normal.

thank you, thank you, thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] chopper the dog:
LOL!! :D

I never really thought of naming my device.

funny.

Hey guy my wireless tethering wont work for my newly installed skyraider 2.5.2 sense. My computer wont connect to my phone. I even have the bin file in the android.tether folder on my sd card. Thank you for any help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluetooth_decay:
Describe the symptoms. It took several tries for me to get it working, which included rebooting the phone, entering my WPA key twice in Wireless Tether's settings to get it to "stick", and rebooting Windows (Win 7's damn wireless is as flaky as XP's). I kept getting an error that my key was invalid, or "not recognized", or whatever the hell Win 7 tells you.

Once I got it connected once, though, it has worked flawlessly a couple of times since.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
My phone won't broadcast the signal. It broadcasted it once but my computer said it couldn't connect to the internet. I just updated to 2.5.2 sense last night. I updated from the leaked ota. The wireless tethering worked with the leaked ota. The leaked ota wasn't froyo it was the update for 720p recording.

Also I never updated my radio when I updated my phone from the 2.1 leaked ota to sky raider 2.5.2 sense. Is the radio needed for anything
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makos101:
Another question. When I went from the ota 2.1 rooted to skyraider 2.5.2. Do I need to to root again?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palomosan:
If you read the Skyraider post it says to rename the WT folder and to download the WT updated apk which He has posted on the post itself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMBosstones86:
don't think so. once you root, you are rooted until you un-root it. Just run titanium backup and save everything, flash the rom, download TB and restore all your apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
Follow the "Tethering out of the Box" section of the Wiki found here: Droid Incredible Wiki and the WiFi Hotspot feature included with SkyRaider will work and Verizon will not charge you a dime extra.

Hello All,

So I know that the Inc comes with VVM but I don't really want to pay for a month service if I don't have too.

Second I know Google Voice does a decent job with visual voice mail but I'm looking for something to use with the phone number on my phone not a new number.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what to try out? I'm more curious if it's a useful feature or more of just a waste of time. I've heard of YouMail but I haven't found very many good reviews on it.

Any suggestions for apps are greatly appreciated or of course if you think it's not even worth trying out I'll take that too.

Thanks in advance,

-Flawless
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpadgett:
Use Google voice. It does exactly what you want, with your current number.

I've used youmail.com on my droid and 2 blackberries in the past, i love it. it doesn't do transcription for free, but everything else is. and you can block specific people from leaving your messages if you want.
[HD2 General] me:
While looking for something in my Windows folder, I stumbled across this by accident.

If you would like an easy quick way to toggle between show and hide Caller ID (without going through all the multiple menu levels in Settings) look in your Windows folder for a file called CMCallerID.exe.

Put a link to it in your start menu. Then you can put a Quick Link to it on your home screen.

Unfortunate that HTC or T-Mobile did not put a link to it in the start menu to begin with, so people would know its there.

Probably wise to look at all the .exe files in the windows folder, to see what's there, as there are probably other hidden gems.

[Desire General] stats101:
Every so often I get a blank SMS in my inbox with sender labeled as 'Anonymous'. Anyone have any idea what these are?
[Desire General] jameson_uk:
These are normally missed call notifications. Go into HTC SMS app & use the option to browse sim card messages
[Desire General] mojavaid36:
I get the same thing all the time. Not sure I understand the response given above though.
[Desire General] jameson_uk:
Go in messages then settings then manage similar card messages

I am guessing you will see your anonymous text here.

I am orange and I think these appear when I have a missed call
[Desire General] bedeabc:
Since the HTC 2.2 update, which was supposed to fix this issue, the texts' sender is delta, as in the Greek letter instead of anonymous. Very odd.
[General Questions and Answers] portegeG810ownerindespair:
I have a Toshiba Portege G810 ''smart'' phone running on Windows Mobile 6.1.

The problem is that it frozens and i have to restart very often, people call me and my phone simply doesn't ring!! And everytime i need to make a call, i have to turn it off and on again. The toshiba mobile website doesn't offer any upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5. Can anyone help me before I throw it away?????
[General Questions and Answers] chopper the dog:
Back-up your contacts and hard reset. Or if you use a piece of back-up software, you could go back to a previous date before it started acting funny.

[Captivate General] Raleran:
I originally thought this was a bug with Android 1.6 but it's occurring on my Captivate as well.

I typically create a couple folders on my main screen to hold currently used apps and games. However, after a random amount of time the folder won't open. If I reboot the device the folders work as they should but some random time later typically one (just now both) will stop opening. I haven't been able to figure out any trigger for it. I'll just wake it up one time and it won't work.

Has anyone else had this issue? ... and was able to fix it?
[Captivate General] skinien:
Are you using LauncherPro? I use LauncherPro and this happens to me as well. Like you, I can only get it to open after rebooting.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
Same problem here
[Captivate General] Raleran:
Yes I am using launcherpro. However I was using motive before so if it is related to the frontend it must be something that both of them are doing.

How else has experienced this? With or without launcherpro?
[Captivate General] BignutSquirrel:
This has happened once to me while using launcherpro. The only thing out of the ordinary I was doing was using maps with agps. After awhile I noticed I could no longer slide to different home screens or open folders. Killing everything with ATK didn't fix it either. Worked fine after reboot.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:

I compared the stock camera and the one that comes with CM RC3 and it turns out that both have almost same output. Camera360, however, does a pathetic job sometimes. The night mode (and the enhance contrast mode) on Camera360 does a *brilliant* job though.

Hello there,

Did anyone besides me encounter an error while using phonemypc? It just crashes and asks me to mail support after i try to connect to my pc.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Desire Themes and Apps] SoftwareForMe.com:
What version do you have on your phone?

PhoneMyPC has been operating with nearly 100% stability. There are a few minor bugs remaining, but all can be circumvented by pressing Back or Home and simply trying again.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mercianary:
I hope your not paying for phone mypc because vnc is free, better and free.

Did I mention its free?

...and better?
[Desire Themes and Apps] simonthor:
How do you use vnc?
[Desire Themes and Apps] mercianary:
Download and install uvnc on your PC.

Get androidvnc from market.

If you get stuck I'm sure there are some instructions on the uvnc website.
[Desire Themes and Apps] SoftwareForMe.com:
1) Install a VNC server on your PC (there are many available; I like UltraVNC)

2) configure it with credentials and set it to always run.

3) Add an exception to your Windows Firewall for TCP port 5900 (for UltraVNC)

4) Get your PC's local IP address

5) Port-forward port 5900 to your PC's IP, in the settings for your router (PortForward dot com has pretty good instructions for most routers)

6) Get your public IP address (browse to whatismyip dot com )

7) Install a VNC client on your phone (I have no preference from those available)

8) Give it your public IP and VNC credentials.

9) ** If your ISP regularly changes your public IP, be sure to set up a dyndns account or at least periodically check your IP, or else you may lose contact at some critical time :-)

I've used VNC for decades, written both clients and servers for it, built and used other RFB based apps, used RDP, G2, LMI and just about every other remote access tool available.

I founded SoftwareForMe because I knew myself and my colleagues could do better. PhoneMyPC is better--and getting 'more better' all the time. That's not to say everybody agrees, and as mercianary said: it's not free.

Reply here if you need more help with that VNC. More than anything, I'm a geek, and happy to help when I can.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mercianary:
I've changed my mind, it was a bit harsh for be to say vnc is better, I have never used phonemypc so I can't really comment on which is better. Its just my opinion, and I am a bit biased as I haven't payed for any software directly in over a decade and would allways choose free software even if it wasn't as good as paid software.

Hi

Having problems rooting my (old) G1. I'm following the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki:

downgraded to RC7

did the 'telnetd' thing

then it says to root using the Universal Androot method. I have set it to install non-market apks, then used appsinstaller to install Universal Androot - that went fine, I can see the icon in my apps list, but when I run it I immediately get force close (com.corner23.android.universalandroot).

I would have just given up there and tried an older method, but after googling this it does not seem common (that is to say, that this method should work) what am I doing wrong?

Actually, that guide is a little messed up. You are not supposed to downgrade and use the universal Androot method. If you are still stuck, you should probably go on with the old method. I tried the Universal and it worked great. rc7 May need to be updated to cupcake or doughnut to work. You are to far downgraded for the androot to run.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddpete925:
Hi Billquinn1,

Would you have any idea about the Universal Androot and Moto Droid 1 build FGR22D?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamiemckee:
Had my Touch Pro2 for about a week now, and I'm loving it (coming from a TyTN II) :D I've found a ROM I like, set it up the way I want it, and I'm very happy apart from a couple of little niggles. It's so fast and smooth compared to my old phone!! And the screen is gorgeous :D

Anyway, I've been a member of these fantastic forums for a long time now, and I don't ask many questions, since usually I can find the answers I am looking for (I like figuring things out for myself!) but I have searched and searched for an answer to these questions to no avail.

So, here goes:

1. Is there any way to disable the transparency of the task bar and soft key bar on the start menu? It annoys me having the background show through. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and don't like the fact that it's the ONLY place where it happens, I'd like a consistent experience ;) Why on earth did Microsoft decide to do this? If it's going to be transparent then apply it everywhere! It looks a little weird since the ROM I am using (which is awesome, btw :P) has custom task bar icons, and little squares show up around them when the task bar goes transparent. I guess I'm just being picky but if anyone knows a reg tweak or some other way of doing this that would be great!

2. Has anybody found any way to change tracks in WMP without taking the device out of your pocket? On my old phone, when using WMP's Toggle Screen feature, I could feel for and use the DPad in my pocket to change tracks and volume without the device waking up. On the TP2 I can change the volume using the volume keys but changing tracks causes it to wake up and go crazy in my pocket! (I've used advanced keyboard config to assign the windows key and back key to DPad left and right, since I find having both hardware and software buttons in WM6.5.X a little pointless). If I lock the phone, then the volume keys still work, which is very useful, but obviously non of the other keys do so no track changing.

I know there is a program that allows you to use the voice command button on the HTC headphones to change tracks on the HTC music tab, but I have to use custom headphones because my ears are a funny shape and normal headphones don't stay in xD Also I don't like the music tab, it seems slow and doesn't show all the album art properly. I actually like WMP, it's always worked fine for me, don't know why everyone hates it so much :P BTW I've disabled the standard 6.5 lockscreen and am just using the soft key unlock like in 6.1

Sorry for the epic long post and thanks in advance! :)

Starts out with intense Halo action cut scene, *but wait* its actually video thats being played on a cellphone!

Don't really say anything about the phone itself other than the s.amoled screen. Nothing mysterious like the Verizon Droid commercials that leaves a lingering sense of curiosity.

More like they are saying "look at this awesome game coming out, now look at this awesome phone!"

why not just sync your outlook to your google account? isn't it kind of lame that your contacts and calendar were only syncing when you plugged a usb cable into one specific computer?

Heres my story:

I rooted my phone. After rooting my phone I used root explorer to extracted some of my apps/games to my PC. After the extraction they were no longer .apk files. Is there a way to change them back to .apk? These apps are no longer offered in the Market and cant find them anywhere online. Also, I have the backup (using nandroid). Is there a way I can open those files up and pull the .apk from there? They are .img files?

Trying to do this without having to unroot my phone load the ROM back and get the .apks again (this time using another program) and then rooting the phone again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If the apks are still on the comouter, just change the file.extention to apk
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3rlingsilv3r:
I tried that but it didnt work. However, I did have the Clockwork MOD recovery of the build. So I just booted into it using the ROM manager and used ASTRO to back up the apps as .apk files and then rebooted back into my rooted ROM and works fine now. Thanks
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I've installed Vibrant6 and one of the things that was not included was the memo app. The memo app I noticed in a nandroid backup appears that it would be in the /system/app folder.

I used Root Explorer and copied over the memo.apk, but I doesnt' appear to show up in the app drawer nor in the phone app when you are trying to take a memo while on the phone.

Am I nuts?
[Vibrant General] alienator88:
No, your not nuts...I noticed Root Explorer has done this to me in the past too. Its usually only when copying over apps that have been in a system folder. Anyway, here's how I do it everytime(i use this a lot)

1. Put memo.apk on internal sdcard

2. Go in terminal(download if you don't have)

3. Type 'cp_/sdcard/memo.apk_/system/app'

Enter(the underscores are spaces)

4. Don't exit terminal

5. Type 'reboot'

Enter

6. When it restarts it should be in the drawer.
