[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swedishcancerboi:
Here's my IT experience. I personally think the stock email has issues. Everything works fine except for 2 things:

1. Emails are not instant. I thought I had a bad phone, swapped it, and no improvement. With any other phone I had previously owned (iPhone 3g, HTC Fuze, Blackjack II), emails would always arrive at the same time or even before Outlook would get them. Now I get anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minute delay.

2. No NTLM support. Even with an iPhone I can connect to local wireless using Safari and use my domain authentication to access our intranet. I have yet to find a way to negotiate windows authentication on this android. I hear that mozilla is putting out a mobile browser (Fennec I believe) that may support it. Or hopefully 2.2 will add this functionality.

There are clients for RDP and even a couple for VNC. I installed one for VNC but never used it. I used WYSE RDP and love it.

Other than those 2 issues,i love it. I haven't tried setting up the VPN yet (pointless to me without NTLM), but that's all I'm missing.

I wish I had a tab or phone that I could install something like an admin tool pack on that would give me Active Directory tools on the go (besides the obvious RDP to a server). Maybe I'll have to wait for a windows phone 7 tablet........unless someone knows something I don't, I'd loved to hear some good news.

I am in IT as well and find this to be leaps and bounds better when coming from blackberry 9700

I use remote rdp and logmein ignition. I have direct push with exchange 2007 and the Gal is supported.

One complaint i have is with the email client. If you have rules setup to automatically sort mail without it being read, gl finding it on the phone. I had to turn all rules off and have everything delivered to the inbox.

Other then that i can pretty much do everything i think except dell drac console. But i hardly ever need to use those and if i did, i got bigger problems and should whip out the laptop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id10terrordfw:
I'll second what was said here, as a server admin, my phone is indispensable. I use VNC and RDP all the time, leave my home computer signed into VPN(it's a work provided laptop that has port 3389 forwarded) and just RDP into that, and then use it on my work domain. Or use the mobile AP functionality with a netbook running 7 Enterprise w/ VPN. No worrying about hotspot locations.

Exchange works great for me on it, no issues with active sync on E2k7. I do kind of wish we had an OCS 2007 R2 compliant messaging app for it. That's about all I could really use that isn't already available.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwood:
For me, ActiveSync to the Captivate is as fast as my BlackBerry 9700 using BES which is pretty darn fast! Now if only the email client worked with all my sub-folders and allowed me to move emails, etc., I'd be happy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh K.:
Search for issues with IMAP and Exchange accounts on the ANDROID platform. I've personally had my IMAP and Exchange email accounts disappear from my phone completely, 3 times in the last month.

This is a know issue across all the Android phones and a problem that is still present in Froyo, kinda disappointing that Google can't get their act together and fix this MAJOR issue.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
There are great email replacement apps out there that solve the problem. The best replacement in my opinion at least is K9. I wouldn't use the version in the Market as it's a few versions old but the latest releases can be found on the googlecode page.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh K.:
Replacement Apps???

I never needed a replacement app on my BlackBerry or Iphone so I could receive email? That to me is just plain absurd and unacceptable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krad:
Android is in its infancy. How many version of windows mobile where there before you got activesync direct push access? Did you have exchange support on the original iphone?

Clearly anyone with a brain can see that the android platform is the most open platform today and compared to all others is more like an actual computer then just a phone.

I came from a blackberry and I hate to admit that I was a fanboy for the last 5 years or so... But after going android, the blackberry is the biggest pos and I give RIM 2 years before they become PALM.

The fact that you can run a 3rd party app that can handle your email, your phone or your sms functionality is amazing. However hard developers try to make a one size fits all... it may work for majority, but not all.

I have had zero issue with android and exchange activesync. My accounts don't disappear. Maybe you should take a look at your environment and see what is going on behind the scenes on your mail server or probably at your crappy anti-spam filter. I got emails instantly on my captivate before i get them on my computer, just like my blackberry did.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh K.:
Yeah, must be my filters causing the account settings to be wiped from my phone on multiple accounts instantaneously....

Come on dude?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cesh:
I'm a Sr. Sys admin and my experience using the captivate on the job has been great. By connecting to our wpa2 enterprise I've SSH'd into routers and switches using Better Terminal (BTEP SSH Client). It's great not having to drag a laptop and a rollover cable into a server room while working with a switch. I've used the WYSE's beta client which supports RDP, VNC and VM View. I'm also a big fan of Astro file manager which has an add-on for connecting to SMB shares. We've also setup a Rove Mobile Admin server. it's an SSL encrypted publicly accessible server which utilizes an android app from which i can manage everything from BES, to SQL, to Exchange, to AD. Its an expensive license but very very well worth it. and while i do think the stock active sync client is usable i've found that TouchDown offers a much more advanced product complete with meeting invites and GAL support. Again, this is a great phone for for IT work!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swedishcancerboi:
Hmmm, I just wonder what is different about the heartbeat to Exchange with Android than it is with every other phone. I agree it could be some mysterious setting that needs adjusted on Exchange, but I'll probably worry about it after we upgrade from 03 to 07.

Doesn't matter......phone rocks.

i am a sytems and network admin, droid x with and touchdown and logmein has never failed me. wifi teathering with a laptop is great too.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tosh1:
Hey guys I basically did everything that the Cricket how to said, but with the Metropcs logins and passwords. I have flashed several phones before, but not an Android OS. The phone works with internet and picture text coming in, but the apps. like Youtube and Google maps will only work on WIFI and not on the network and MMS out will also not work.

My assumption is that it has to do with this whole autostart file thing. I am so new to this programming stuff that I am not sure what to do when it comes to this.

So I used QPST and CDMAW to program the back end so that is probably why the Internet works. APN and Proxy settings are all correct, but here is the only place I have an error.

These are the directions:

Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file and autostart.sh in this folder c:/android/tools

"Now go to the command prompt on your pc and type the following commands:

cd c:\android\tools

adb remount

adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl

adb push c:\ android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh

Now:

adb shell

chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl

chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh

reboot"

My error begins when I type the adb remount.... it states unable to find device or something like that.

I plugged phone to computer not in Diag mode or any mode, just turned it off then back on and plugged it in. Is there a setting on the phone I need to check?

Then I go ahead and do those push commands just for the hell of it, it just scrolls through this whole display of things.. not sure what its doing.

The adb shell part works and so do those other commands after....

When I am done with the last line that has the autostart.sh and hit enter...

The phone doesn't reboot, I just unplug and then turn off and then back on. I would have thought there would be a script to reboot phone or something...

So what am I missing or is it not even possible to get Google maps and youtube to work on Metroweb... has to be on wifi??? I have seen people say they have done it...

Any help would be appreciated..
[Epic 4G General] Psosmith82:
Does anybody know why samsung didnt include these in the epic? Is it part of Touchwiz 3.0? I tried installing the APK from the captivate, but the installs fail.
[Epic 4G General] SEANprizzle:
I MAY be wrong here but the EPIC uses a modified version of Touchwiz 2 (2.5?). This is likely the reason. I am pissed because this version doesn't allow me to use the TV OUT via 3.5mm jack and doesn't include the Samsung music player. Let's hope they give us an update.
[General Topics] schwartzman93:
Please help, lol

>>>Nevermind
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
Lets say I wanna change the icon shortcut link to Handcent instead of the default Messanger, theres gotta be a way to change it. Hopefully without rooting.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
No way to change them. This feature and app menu options where removed from the epic.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Solution here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770529
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
I'd call that a workaround rather than a solution: I'm hoping for a solution via root or some other hack. Maybe it'll be as simple as editing a text file?
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Quoted from the thread you said didn't have the solution. This might work for the other buttons as well, if you clear the defaults in said applications. That is done under the Settings > Applications, find the app and hit the "Clear Defaults" button.
[Epic 4G General] quasi13:
I'd call that a solution if it also changes the launcher icons to whatever application you're setting as the default. Does it work that way?
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
The 'Default Messenger' is not listed under Manage Applications, there is one for Handcent but that only makes it the default if you go through your contacts and select the 'text' option.

Otherwise it doesn't change the default launcher icon to open handcent and it doesn't change the logo.

Thats the one thing that is crappy with sprint is how they default their stuff and hard lock you in on it, same with the market place. They must have 3 different versions of the 'Sprint Marketplace' that has the same stuff as regular market place.

They also changed the Downloads section you click in Market to the name of 'Sprint', its like "wtf are they thinking" and it just lists a couple of average free apps under it that are already available.

This is stuff that I hope can be changed without rooting in the future, but it looks like the roms might be the saviour of this phone. SCHEIZA!!!!
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
It's "sprint's recommended" downloads. Yes, it's annoying, but it's better than locking you out of a ton of apps like other companies.
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
I'm having problems getting the phone to mount 100% of the time in Mass Storage mode. Occasionally it'll connect, but especially it seems when it's plugged in with the EVO it just won't get a connection. It charges fine, it shows up as a drive, but it doesn't give me access to any files or anything.

I'm using the USB drivers from the Samsung webpage specifically for the Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Disable "USB Debugging"
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Try that. For some reason I couldn't mount my phone as a drive until I turned off USB debugging. Settings -> applications -> development (i believe)

I have windows 7 64bit and it works every single time now. I've transferred tons of stuff. I never even formatted my card.
[Epic 4G General] mroletta:
RE

I couldn't get it to connect (driver installed incorrectly etc) when connecting the phone to the front port of my PC, but it worked immediately when I plugged it into the rear of the desktop.
[Epic 4G General] lithid-cm:
I can contest to this disable usb debugging.
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
USB debugging has been disabled, used multiple ports, etc. and still having problems. Reinstalled drivers, manually added drivers, nothing is biting. I've also tried disabling driver signing, doing everything I can with that off and still nothing. Windows 7 Ult 64-bit in case you're curious.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Just got my Epic and had the same problem. Oddly enough though it worked with other USB ports on my computer, just not the front/top ports.

I've seen this problem before, I just cant remember where though.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Hmm, i have a Mac and the memory card is not mounting at all. :mad: had to take out microSD card and use USB card reader. Had no problems with other HTC Android phones connecting to my Mac (Hero, Evo).
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
Install USB Driver for the Epic.

dito33
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Epic USb drivers? I doubt thats needed. Maybe a updated USB driver for your computers USB ports.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Try a different usb cable I had the same issues changed the cable and no more link issues at all.
[Epic 4G General] EliteMachina:
This is a rather common problem it seems like. I fixed it by using a powered USB hub. Also try using a different port, certain ports seem to not have the power needed even if the phone looks connected.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFan319:
Like the title says! I'm sing Evil's Sense and loving it, but I'd like to be able to keep up with the little fixes without having to redo my contacts, titanium all of the apps, and redo the widgets (a good hour a day?).

Is there a quicker way?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
I believe that flashing newer/fixed versions of the same ROM does not require a full wipe... just wipe cache and dalvik-cache and flash the newer/fixed version (though sometimes if there are major changes, the ROM dev might recommend a full wipe)... moving across different ROMs requires a full wipe...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
Craig is correct

Normally! not always, but most of the time you do not have to wipe anthing, just flash over it. However you should always check with the Dev to see if there are special instructions requiring a wipe. If you are switching to a new rom all together, say from CM to Evil, then you will HAVE to wipe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsouza:
With CM6 nightly update, unless explicitly stated, I never wipe anything at all.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Hi

I have acquired HTC HD mini recently. I upgraded its ROM to new version 1.36.720.X. But still I am not able to connect Windows Marketplace via my mobile. My GPRS connection is set correctly as I am able to connect Facebook and My Phone successfully. I am facing issue with Windows Live and Marketplace.

I always get error while trying to connect Market place that

"There may be a problem with the Marketservice now. Check your internet connection and try again later."

Can anybody provide me solution for this.

Registry value for HKLM\Systems\Versions\Aku is .5.3.3 (Which is due to latest OS version came with ROM) . Hence that earlier fix of changing value of Aku is not workable though I tried it.

I think that there are many unfortunates like me who have faced same problem.

Thanks in advance for help.

regards,

Pranit

Hi

It has been long time and I have received no answer. Please help me as I have been not able to use marketplace. I have tried all solution mentioned in forum but with no effect.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] kingofkings2603:
uninstall and redownload marketplace.worked for me.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
This solution does not work. I didn't know how to uninstall Windows marketplace. Hence I installed and replaced downloaded version of marketplace app. Need a concrete solution. Just to mention, I am from india. I came across one more user of HD mini who is facing same issue.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
I need helping hand here. Kindly somebody give me some solution. Is there any issue while accessing Marketplace from India?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] skrie:
Is your time date correct for your country.

I had the same problem i change the time to right time for my country and marketplace could connect.

I hope you understand my english.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Yes. I have synchronised time with internet. Still no effect. Assume that I have no idea about how to set the local time and guide me. I am really pissed off as my all efforts to connect Marketplace are failed.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] skrie:
go to settings 'time, date", and also check "country and text" just below the tab "time and date" I hope you understand this i have to translate from dutch

Hope this solve's your problem.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Then I have done it correctly. Still with no effect. I just wanted to confirm it. Everything seems just right.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] skrie:
i found this regarding your problem

Have you tried this deleting a reg key that sets the download location for Marketplace.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Can you please tell me where to find this entry in registry?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] skrie:
HKCU\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace;Downl oadLocation

I found this on the forum of mobilitydigest.com.

Maybe you can find a solution for your problem there.

Just typ in Google marketplace bootstrap
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
tried. But still not working. I am stuck since I bought HD mini.Have tried number of options to connect marketplace and all met with failure. Can you think of other solution?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] _Madmatt:
I have had this problem too. But simply killing the process in Task Manager, rebooting the device and retrying worked for me!
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Please tell me which process is to be killed. I tried to locate process and kill it. If I am not wrong then in task manager there is no option to kill process but to kill application.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] _Madmatt:
Kill application worked for me. But killing processes can be done in the Task Manager by clicking Menu => Display => Processes
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] pranitbirje:
Hi , I have tried all sort of options now. But I have met no success. Please, please provide me some solution. My HD mini is sort of useless if I am not able to access marketplace. I am not able to buy certain apps which I would like to.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] skrie:
This guy had the same problem as you.

I've had this problem for quite some time and I think I may have found a solution that I didn't really seem to find in many other places. I believe that Windows Marketplace Mobile requires an authenticated connection to connect (network associated GPRS such as AT&T, Edge, 3G, etc...). To connect to WinMo Market with a wifi, I believe also requires authentication. My own personal router is secured with WPA and AES encryption, which my phone can connect to. I had no problems with connecting to the internet via browser (for the most part) with Wifi or Edge. Problem is, for whatever reason, Windows Marketplace did not recognize that my Wifi was authenticated. After playing around for quite some time to figure out why, I stumbled on a program called Advanced Configuration Tool (I own an unlocked HTC HD2). Turns out, my stock ROM had WPA Authentication disabled (which explains why flashing to a new ROM work for people since that option is typically enabled by default). I guess somewhere along the long, my phone had disabled it, most likely by some action of my own. So after re-enabling it in the network settings of the program, I had no more problems connecting to Winmo Market. Additionally make sure that your wireless config on your phone enables IEEE 802.1x network access control (you can adjust this on the actual wireless network setting where you input your passwords). I'm sure there are ways to activate it through the registry, but Advanced Configuration Tool by Touchxperience developers made it easy (it's in the network settings menu).

Okay, I've got an HD2 fresh out of the box and running like a dream that someone wants to trade a samsung vibrant for. This HD2 runs froyo great and with a disabled G sensor I've got all the quirks out (minus the G sensor of course) I just wanted to see what you'd go with, sadly I know samsung hasnt been so good about keeping their phones updated and that is the one thing that makes me hesitant (okay not the one thing, the screen and processing power certainly help) and I'm just looking for opinions from other nerds :)

get the vibrant !!!!
