That quite simply isn't an option - I was told that there is a way of solving it by using a windows CD or boot disk to reload the MBR - I was also told that the file running GRUB can be edited to find windows.

The problem is I don't have another machine and I am on state benefits - I need this computer up and running and I need access to my documents.

I can't seem to mount anything in android - and as the only option is 'format sd card' I don't really want to take it..

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] shadowch31:
Well thanks for the sob story but what does being on benefits have to do with anything?

Anyway simply set your pc bios to boot from cd first, insert disk and boot up. From there you will be asked do you want to install or repair. Choose repair.

I'm unsure of the next step because I don't use Vista *spits* but if you can get to recovery console then you can run fixmbr from the prompt and also there is a boot manager that can fix your boot sector.

Alternatively you could from a dos prompt delete the 1.6 folders and rewrite the msconfig to open windows only.

There is also the root of trying the f8 safe mode boot into admin account and rewrite the msconfig from with windows if accessible from f8 safe.

But hell I ain't anyone else but I guess my 24 years in the business of building custom machine and my extensive knowledge of windows xp and below means nowt? Maybe try being a little less dismissive next time hey? :D

[Android Software Development] Mast3rpyr0:
Did you create partitions before installing android? if not then windows doesnt exist anymore, which is why grub didnt automatically add it to the list of things to boot (mine always listed everything, but sometimes it doesnt do that automatically)
[Android Software Development] FFXTDS:
this happend to me to. I had to use I linux live cd to delete the linux partition. and fix the mbr.

Anyone using an N1 in Dayton Ohio?

May need to switch carriers.

How is your coverage north of Dayton, I70?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
arent you from howardforums....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Hi osugsxr,

Long time no talk. Not on that forum much, very active on NexusOne Forum. How's it going?

I sold my BB's and have an N1 I rooted and starting to theme, love it. But, the areas I go to now with work, like Tipp and Troy are not covered well by CBW. I need to change carriers. I was in north Columbus Tuesday and NO SERVICE.

It is obviously a TMO version, won't work on Att. Too bad cause they have nicer clamshells for the wife and my one son gave the other is 3g iphone and got the 4g. I can jailbreak it and go TMO, know only 2g works that way. May not get him data anyway. So, in a fix. Don't want to sell N1 and get an Incredible on Att, like N1 and maybe will not like Att dropped calls and the junk, Media Center, they put on their phones.

Wondering if TMO has good 3g in those ares I mentioned with the N1. Or, any suggestions.

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutlawPro:
I use the N1 on TMO but can't speak of anything past Vandalia going north. I was just up there two weeks ago and had no problems in the Vandalia area.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
Cincinnati Bell roams on T-mobile. If your phone says Cin Bell USA that means you are on T-mobile. I am not familiar with coverage in the Dayton area, I typically stay around Cincy or south in KY. Hope this at least helps a little.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Thanks everyone,

OutlawPro: By Vandalia I am on Edge no 3g

stickerbob: I have seen Cinbell on occasion, no 3g. But, most of the time Edge or no connection. Figured it would roam in Columbus, but couldn't even make a call from Polaris Mall. Just norht of Columbus off of 270.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Yes I have same problem within my house, upstairs ill get 3g coverage and go down one floor itll be switching back and forth. As for being in Columbus my cincy bell coverage dropped and had to switch to cinbell usa tmobile, and I had 3g coverage near polaris and basically it was pretty solid, but I had to manually make the switch over to cinbell usa.

If you arent getting the coverage I would consider switching to another carrier, for me cincybell is solid only $15 for unlimited text and data.....using it to tether and for the ipad wifi been averaging 5-6gb month. What makes it worse is most of that is from downloading roms and flashing them. Its fun to develop with this phone, but I may have to get rid of it stop playing with it. New hobby probably going to be a harley .....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
osugsxr,

You don't pay the extra gb's do you. CBW is suppose to be true unlimited. I have seen CinBell USA, but when I try it, it won't register on network. Mayb not far enough outside CBW area. Did not try in Columbus. Could also try checking 2g when no 3g or CinBell available. I like CBW too. But need voice and gps where I go on calls.

BTW, appreciated all your help on Howards. Glad I got the N1 and rooted.

I should be able to tether on TMO also, don't do it very often. So, limits won't apply.

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Nope dont pay the extra gb's, although I did read in the contract where cbw will think you are tethering if you go over 5gbs, but nothing has been mentioned to me about my usage, so Im when that time comes we will see but I doubt it ever will. Cinbell USA you do have to be out of range, when my 3g coverage drops I will change settings to cinbell usa, it wont allow me to register onto network. Once I flip back over to cinbell I usually regain my 3g service most of the time.

Yes rooting is addicting, very fun and being able to change up your phone is nice. I did sell my original n1, and was about to make the switch to an iphone but was talked out of it, took the money and purchased another n1, basically brand, with all the original equipment which I didnt have.

A must have for android users… I can backup my apps, install apps, zip or unzip. it even has the abilty to move or copy files or send. I luv the list view but has more options. When i backup more apps due to the low internal memory on the G1 i can see which ones are out of date, which are colored in red. select those apps to backup again… boom!! ZaP! POW! your new version is backed up.

Some great features:

# Manage all files on your SD card (copy, move, rename)

# Manage multiple files and directories at once

# Backup applications

# Manage running applications

# Send files as attachments

# View thumbnails and images

# Browse and create compressed files like Zip and Tar

# Much more (Read here)
[Droid Incredible General] the14thgod:
I've noticed that some of my notifications will sometimes (yay for difficult problems to diagnose) add a sort of clicking/crackling noise (like audio clips) at the end of sound. I have noticed this with 2 audio files, and they did not do it before I updated to 2.2 (I did the manual update found earlier this week).

So if you can imagine... it sounds like:

*beep* ... *click/crack*

Anyone got any ideas? (the audio files have no click/crack at the end of the files). Only started happening once I updated to 2.2

Thanks for any and all help,

Justin
[Droid Incredible General] the14thgod:

[EVO 4G General] jahnile:
Greetings All,

Just wanted to share some pics of the HTC Evo 4G and the Motorola Droid X side by side. The pictures were taken from a Samsung Captivate. These are two high end Android base smart phone and they both looks lovely, but I know we all have our views. Like which one looks more sleek, more sexy, more refine. let the opinions begin.....:)
[EVO 4G General] gerald410:
Damn tough choice, I like both form factors. I would need to borrow a Droid-X for a while to really see lol. After closer inspection Evo all the way!
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
I actually HATE the look of the droidx. I almost never say thar about a phone. Honestly the Microsoft Kin was seeker then the X.

I like the way the camera looks a little, but the asymmetrical thing is a dealbreaker.

I love my 4g to death. It felt like heaven fell to earth when this handset dropped on Sprint, because I already had a contract with them.

I think most reviewers of the phone don't know how to manually focus the evo4g's camera. It takes better pictures then an iPhone4 I think, despite the crappier sensor (by some measures).

The one thing about the Evo that I would gripe about is the ****ing keyboard. Oh man is it a POS.

My gf has a DroidX... I like my evo better, although I would appreciate a good music and pics transferring program like vcast. I absolutely hate the camera on her X
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
The sensor of the EVO is not crappier than the iPhone 4 sensor. In fact the EVO is better at taking pictures outdoors, but the iPhone 4 takes the cake for indoors. My (twin) brother has an iPhone 4 and I took a ton of pics to compare. The EVO wins easily if the picture is taken outside.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:

This is a little tangential, but what is that EVO running?

Looks like ADWLauncher but with Sense clock/weather and stock lock screen.

Anyone know?
[EVO 4G General] jd9900:
I was going to hold out with verizon and get the droid x instead of the evo. Then I broke down the math, and even with early termination fees verizon couldn't come close to sprint on a per month basis even with the extra smartphone price on the evo (we have several smart phones on the family plan). After seeing those side by side pictures I am definitely glad I switched. The evo form factor is already bigger than I would prefer (but man do I love this screen size) and the droid x actually appears a bit bigger. To have basically the same screen size with a larger form factor would have annoyed me if only a little bit. The evo is already a monster on a belt clip with a work blackberry attached. The batman utility belt jokes are getting old, but the phone isn't. :)

[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I'm appalled by the Droid X. I can't believe they didn't refine the design any more than they did. From the huge hump in the back for the camera, to the row of buttons on the bottom/front. That is one device that I would not use and I'm really surprised THAT's what they come up with as their current gen offering. The EVO is already an obvious choice over the Droid X (IMO).. Motorola is gonna get smoked by the next HTC offering.
[EVO 4G General] GrooGrux:
Just get SWYPE or a custom keyboard.

No special rom or anything and synchas never worked. I tried unchecking and checking the thing again. Didn't work. What its weird is that the info shows up on the launcher pro + calender widget. It seems to be missing some events though. :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
As I understand this - your calendar is displaying correctly on the phone, but not on your computer?

When you create a new calendar entry on the phone, are you making sure that it is placing it in the google calendar and not "my calendar" - you have to change this as "my calendar" is the default and does not sync to google calendars.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptivatedChaos:
So my calendar will not sync with my google calendar? I have to do it with each event manually? I thought that if the syncing was set up to sync with my google calendar, that it would.... sync with it. :P Or does it only work one way? Google calendar to my calendar, but not the other way around?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrOpportunity:
It sounds like you might not have background and auto sync enabled, do you know if you do?

In the calendar app, as mentioned before, make sure you're selecting "your.email@gmail" rather than My Calendar (its annoying to me, seems like they should sync by default without my input, but at least that part is simple enough for me to get over it).

Then, check out your settings... Apps >> Settings >> Accounts and sync

Do you have Background data and Auto-sync checked? these are crucial, though i think Auto-sync is what should fix this.

Then select your gmail account just below that. Make sure everything is checked. Calendar could be unchecked by default, thus not syncing. I can't remember what's checked out of the box.

Then, I suggest adding the Power Control widget to one of your home screens (I don't know if this is installed by default, I've downloaded and removed too much to remember it all :P). The 4th box is the Auto-sync toggle. I need my battery to last all day, so I have this off until I can actually use the stuff, like email, etc.

You can either leave it on at all times and deal with minor battery loss (i think it's minor, tomorrow I'm testing how much battery it will consume leaving on). Or you can toggle it as needed like i do, and when on, it will sync up the calendar, along with everything else. This may not solve your problem, but it sounds reasonable to me. I might be in the same boat as you if I hadn't read a lifehacker article about the Power Control widget and syncing my google stuff.

Let us know how it goes :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauly_k:
I have exactly the same problem and I have been trying to fix it all week!

Seems everything is right but nothing will sync, it says it has but my calender is nowhere to be seen, can anybody help I have even factory reset to try again today... :mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Rereading some of this.... It seems like you are seeing Google events on teh phone, but phone events are not showing up in Google.

Probably the issue is the events are created on the phone (by default) in "my calendar" not in the google calendar. 2.2 fixes this, but 2.1 (the stock build and the recent update) make all entries go into "my calendar" by default. You can change this via a drop down, but you have to do it for every calendar entry you create on the phone.
