thank you flashman but if i do flash to jh3 will i lose my all my stuff like contacts?

edit:

and the pit file you are talking about is the one at the bottom of the page where you download the firmware right
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
search the market for UiA backup contacts, and you can back up all your contacts to a .vcf file on your SD card.

I didnt lose any pictures or music, but its always best to back them up just in case something goes wrong and you have to format.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Yes it should be the one that says 512 pit. You will need to use that when you flash JH3. Just use Kies to back up your contacts or use gmail, but you shouldnt really have any issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbu63:
ok i got my contacts and media backed up and after that i plan on doing SRE is there anything i should know
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Nope, just read the threads that are in the dev section so you know what to do in case anything happens, or just so you have the understanding of what is going on with your phone.

Seeing how HTC have now screwed up email storage so that once the email is deleted from the original source it is also deleted from the phone, is there a way to save certain emails in another folder?

Or does anyone know if HTC are aware of this problem and are working on it? It started after the Froyo update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
The way you're describing it, it doesn't sound like HTC (or Google) screwed up anything.

If I delete an email from the server, I would expect that same email to be deleted on my phone. This is the very definition of "synchronization". Whatever happens on one device will happen to every other device that synchronizes with it.

If you intend to keep an email, why would you delete it off the server?

Why not create an archive folder to store the emails you want to save and then set up your phone to sync that folder? Or just leave it in your inbox. You can choose to flag it if you want to be able to spot it faster.

Btw, you didn't mention how you're connecting to your email. Exchange, POP, IMAP?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon12:
I'm connecting with POP. Now up until the Froyo update I could leave emails on my phone for as long as I wished by setting the Send & Receive settings - Download Options - By Days - All and it made no difference. Since the update it deletes the phone's inbox whenever I delete mail from the server it came from.

I won't go into why I delete from that server - it's to do with having access to mail on three different devices and how they collect it.

There are ways around it but it means having to delete things manually from the server and making sure a few are kept until I don't need them on the phone any longer.

Can I save emails on the phone in another folder that I create?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
It doesn't sound like you should be using POP3 at all. POP3 is suitable if you access your email using one client only. Once you access your email server with POP3 from more than one client, it just gets very messy. Each client's inbox contents will be different from one another.

If possible, you should always connect via IMAP4 or Exchange. As a plus, they allow you to synchronize folder structures.

I've always found that POP3 causes a lot of trouble for me. Always end up with mysteriously deleted emails on either server or client.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon12:
I understand what you're saying, but if I use IMAP, does that not mean that the emails only stay on the phone as long as they are on the server, leaving me in the same predicament?

At the moment, I have all my email go to a webmail service. From there it fwds to my ISP and from there to my home computer where it remains permanently. Now, at the same time, I have a laptop that gets the mail from the webmail and then deletes it off the server. I also have my phone which gets the mail from the webmail but leaves it undeleted so the laptop can also get at it (once it's on the laptop, I don't care if it's on the phone). BUT, there are some emails that are good to have saved on the phone like flight info, etc for when I travel for work.

Not as confusing as it sounds and this works best for us as my wife and I share the address and we can see all the mail at any time on any device.

From what I understand of IMAP, once it is deleted from the webmail, it also disappears on any computer that is using IMAP. I want to make sure that certain messages are on the hard drive of any device at any time.

If you know better, then I'm all ears!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
First, yes, using IMAP will mean that deleting the email off the server will effectively delete it off your phone.

But I still think you should use IMAP but just change your behavior a bit.

- Connect via IMAP with your PC and your phone.

- Create 2 folders under your Inbox. Name it appropriately. (eg "Attn needed" and "Archive"). Remember to setup your email clients on both your PC and phone to sync these folders as well.

- If you have any emails where action is required, then leave it in your Inbox or put it in the "Attn needed" folder.

- If you have any emails where you just want saved, then put it in "Archive" folder.

- Delete emails only when you're absolutely sure you will never need them.

It sounds like you delete your emails because you don't want to use up all your server space. To get around this, just do the following. (I'm assuming you are using MS Outlook but you should be able to do this with other email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird, etc)

- Create a Personal Folder. In Outlook, these are *.pst files. Name it appropriately. (eg. "Old emails")

- Every month or so, just do a quick cleanup by moving all the mails you don't want on the server into the Personal Folder which is saved locally on your PC. (Keep in mind that the moved mails will no longer be available on your phone as well.)

Alternatively, try the following. This is easier and more automated. But depending on your needs, it may not be appropriate for you.

- Connect via IMAP with your PC and your phone.

- Create a new Gmail account.

- On your PC email client, set a rule so that each new email gets forwarded to the Gmail account.

- This way, you can delete mails off your phone, PC, or server as much as you want. A copy will always be available in Gmail. As a bonus, the search feature in Gmail is just great. (If you want to save all outgoing emails as well to Gmail, just bcc yourself on your emails)

- For emails that needs your attention, just flag it. In the HTC Email application, you can filter out all the flagged emails by sliding over to the "Marked" tab.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon12:
OK - thanks for all the advice. I will start having a go at those ideas and see how it works out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccos_van:
Simon,

The fact that the device can't store emails once they come off the server is total bs. In fact, I have the same problem which DID NOT OCCUR when on 2.1. As soon as I put froyo on it started to happen.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! All my blackberries never did this nor did my desire on 2.1. There is something wrong with froyo on certain devices and HTC does not have an answer yet.

Go to your setting in outlook and check off the 'leave emails on server' option for 3,7 or however many days you think you need.

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon12:
I have contacted HTC and they tell me this is a new 'feature' of Froyo. That I should not delete emails from the webmail if I want the phone to keep them. I replied to them that if I wanted this feature I would use IMAP and not POP3.

I have requested that they reinstate a proper use of POP3 and I would suggest to anyone else to email them on their support page and ask the same. I they realise how many of us are annoyed at this then they may do something about it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccos_van:
Can you believe that these clowns are calling it a 'feature?'...they honestly must we're stupid or something. How can auto-deleting emails be a 'feature'??? Why cant I simply delete them myself like on Gmail? ALso if this is a 'feature' why is it then that some handsets do it while others don't???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullhead00:
So I dropped my TP2 the other day, cracking the screen. Called insurance to get it replaced only to find out that they no longer make the TP2 and can't supply me with a replacement.

I was offered what they called, a comparable alternative, the HTC Incredible. I sell phones for Verizon, so I know all about it already. I've just been with WiMo for so long, I feel like I'm making a major adjustment!

My phone is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday the 8th, so I've already been reading as much as I can about the INC and Android in general. One thing I haven't found is the option to play system sounds through non-stereo bluetooth headsets.

On my WiMo devices, I never needed a stereo bluetooth headset to listen to music, either through Slacker or any kind of media player on my phone. WiMo has an option in the Bluetooth settings menu/Advanced options/Audio Hands-free related settings, that lets you turn on system sounds, allowing you to listen to music/media through any bluetooth headset.

Does Android give you this option? This and losing my freaking keyboard with tilt screen is pretty much the main thing giving me grief about switching to the INC.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoD:
dinc supports A2DP

So yes as long as your bluetooth device supports A2DP you don't have a problem
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullhead00:
That's what I'm saying though. On WiMo, your headset doesn't have to support A2DP to allow you to listen to music. Will Android allow you to do this? I listen to my class lectures through my regular bluetooth headsets that do not support A2DP.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoD:
Its possible im wrong but i do not believe it will work without A2DP or headphones. I have a JB icon so for me thats how I had to set it up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullhead00:
well I hate to say it. but chalk one up for WiMo...still can't wait to get my incredible though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
I also came from a Touch Pro 2 and I had the same reservations as you.

I bought the Incredible because of the screen and I have no regrets at all. I have had mine since they first came out.

I love the Incredible!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] toonarmy85:
In the service menu I says im using generic world fw so y do I have 3 uk stuff on my mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
The firmwares for most (if not all, Vodafone might be an exception) are generic with a regional/carrier customisation pack. The true generic for UK is CDF1238-0199, and CDF1238-1760 is the 3 UK variant from what I can gather, it'll be written on your box somewhere and probably under the battery, which variant you have. You can flash your phone to the CDF1238-0199 UK Generic or something else via the debrand procedures here or use a commercial solution (davinci team, omnius etc).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
This is great news! Currently you have to flash them, but I'm sure some of you on here would know how to make them downloadable on this forum for us or straight from the android market itself.

You can read all about the article here

Also, download the files to be flashed right here

Anyone think they can make these downloadable instead of having to flash them to have them?

ATTENTION!

Some people are having problems flashing this. Luckily Xfactor520 created another method.

"update.zip method didnt work neither did installing .apk ...i got them working on my captivate by copying lib to system/lib and the apks to data/app with root explorer.

then they work fine."
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Aphex13:
I tried flashing these, but nothing happened. Is there a trick to getting them to show up?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
Well there is a lot of little stuff you need to be careful of.

for instance "unplug the USB cable during this step, as some users are reporting problems flashing recovery while plugged in"

Its pretty straight forward as I can tell, its like flashing anything else.

Just follow every step precisely and you will get the result you are looking for. It took me a few tries to do it right. I got a little frustrated and didn't give up, but now I have these wonderful new live backgrounds :)

Read through the comments on the guide's website, there were a lot of questions asked and they were answered, maybe it will help you

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Aftashok:
so you just do this WITHOUT flashing, correct?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xfactor520:
yes sir. Just unpack the .zip and put the folder on your sd card and copy the lib into system/lib and copy the apks into data/app

If you're looking for a ton of battery morph, check out my blog, which has relevant link backs to my posts here on XDA. Most of my morphs to date have been battery morphs, and looking on my blog may be easier than trying to use the search function here on the forum. All of them should work on CM6, as its what i use myself.

If you're looking for something really unique/custom it can be arranged through a small donation, which you'll find the links to on each of my XDA posts regarding morphs.

I just bought the xperia x10 a while ago and started to listen music on it..

I download music on limewire and put them all on my 8GB micro sd...

Pop in the micro sd to my xperia x10, boot it, mediascape,... whats wrong?

Some of my songs shows up the wrong album art. and whats strange is that all the songs with the wrong album art HAS THE SAME WRONG ALBUM ART.

So its weird, for exemple:

I have for example on my phone:

Dj Nightlife : Display right album art

DJ Ravine: Display right album art

Akon: Displays DJ Ravine's album art instead of akon album art...

Lil wayne: displays dj ravine's album art instead of lil wayne album art

please help im getting pissed

thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
I would try fining the album art on your SD and deleting in, make sure its the right stuff your deleting though and letting mediascape re scan it all. and make sure the mp3 files have thr right artist etc listing in their details [right click the mp3 file and properties, details tab]
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
What you need to do is to view the files in media go and manually fix the mp3 tags of each song, it sucks i know. But thats becouse the guy who created the mp3s was sloppy.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi3x:
Hi guys, I'm having a nasty problem which I cannot figure it out.

So, I bought a 16gb class 6 SD card to replace the 4 gb one, but here is the problem.

With the original 4 gb one, with all apps and games installed it shows 140 mb free (internal storage).

If I remove it and replace with the 16gb one, it shows only 105 mb free, even after a fresh wipe and install (therefore no apps and games installed).

What gives???? Can you please tell me what could be the problem? Why my EXTERNAL card is eating my INTERNAL memory? Is this a paradox? It is supposed to be only an external thing, why does it mess up with my internal memory?

Any help is greatly appreciated, its driving me nuts, I wipped, formatted, and reformatted in an endless loop, hoping to solve the problem, still the same result (old one = 140 mb with all apps installed, new one = 105 mb, only the OS, if I start installing apps and games - even if on SD, it still eats up the memory and gives a low memory message). :mad::(:confused:

Hey,

Sorry if this is a nooby question, im sure the answer is yes but I cant find a obvious answer...

When my phone gets back from repair im going to install the Energy ROM on it. However I havent backed up my contacts (needed to sort them out anyway) so I will get them from the people I actually speak to these days.

However, before I start adding them, does the ROM wipe them? As it will be a waste of time D:

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
I wouldnt hold out much hope of your contacts still being there when it gets back from repair...........

Chances are they're gonna hard reset or reflash your phone.........

I cant imagine they'll bother to back up and restore for you..............

To answer your question though........ yes a flash will wipe everything.... except sim and sd cards.....(which you should remove while flashing, just in case)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oo Alias oO:

before you even try activesync for the first time, go settings - menu - all settings - connections - usb to pc and turn off 'enable faster data'

Syncing never works for me with that turned on, and if you try to sync before you turn it off and it fails, and then you turn it off, it still wont sync till you reboot the phone and the computer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordPrefect:
Almost ashamed to bring this in, but I am flashing ROMs rather often, and I am using a "trick" which I am not quite sure if it safe to do.

Just copy the file "pim.vol" from the very root folder of your device to a safe place on the storage card. After flashing or somehow getting a new ROM, copy that file back at the mentioned location. Do a soft reset, and your contacts and calendar should be back. Like I said, I am not sure if this is safe to do, but for me it worked dozens of times.

Don't blame me if it fails for you! Needless to say that you must not do such kind of actions without having a backup.

So I know the debate for having JIT on or off and go for hours, but say that I wanted to have JIT on what VM Heap size would be recommended for speed? Battery life? and the middle ground?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
JIT VM heapsize won't effect battery life most likely since it really only deals with memory allocation. JIT being on is *supposed* to improve battery life, according to google.

As for whether JIT being on or off I think if you're going to get froyo you should really have it on... JIT should not be used on 2.1 roms.

VM heapsize you can choose between 16 or 24, people get the best results with those two.
