using file manager, press and hold the program file,choose copy, browse to windows/start menu/programs press menu, edit, paste shortcut.

now it will show when you assign an empty quicklink.

[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
So I emailed SGP inquring about when//if they were going to be carrying skins/screen protectors for the Epic, and at FIRST they replied:

" We will not be making any protectors for the Epic 4G, we are currently focusing on the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S"

I was confused by this because obviously the Epic is a PART of the samsung galaxy line, so I emailed them back asking what they meant by that since they already have screens/skins for the Galaxy S, Vibrant and Captivate.

She replied back to me stating that:

"She had just double checked if the would be supporting the Samsung Epic and the answer was "YES". It would be only a matter of time before they have screen protectors and skins for the Epic and they should be in stock soon within 2-4 weeks!"

I'm excited for Steinheil because I've never used this brand before but have heard nothing but extremely positive reviews! :)

Heya

Basically im on Orange in the UK on firmware version 1.6, build number R2BA020,

I have seen various posts on the site saying 026, my question is why have i not had this update, am i supposed to get it as seus says its up to date. My phone as far as i know has no branding, Im confused, any reason why i am still on the 020 build with baseband version 1.1.25.

Thanks

Run the repair option using PC Companion as some have said that has brought the newer fw.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Hi - I believe that the Orange handsets are branded - there's just no obvious sign of it!.. I think it's just Orange wanting to carefully (over carefully!) control the distribution of f/w to their phones... Wouldn't worry about 026 now - may as well wait for And 2.1.. Having said that - if you want 2.1 anytime soon you may need to debrand..

Suggest you contact Orange and ask them when they will be releasing the 2.1 f/w.

good day all,

i am from the vogue boards (as you can tell by me signature)

i am wanting to upgrade to the desire but have quite a few questions.

i am a MAC user and have done some searches but found nothing really conclusive.

is there one place where a MAC user can go to gain step by step how-to's for the desire?

or can this be the start of such a thread?

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samleung:
What exactly are you looking for..? If you want to root, unrEVOked has an app for Mac.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piperthedj:
over on the vogue side we have a "step by step guide" to do just about anything- for those of of us who are not as bright and witty as the rest of the world- and it helps greatly-

i am wanting to do some reading before i actually get a desire to make sure i feel comfortable with what i have to do and if i do feel not so comfy with it, get to a position where i am comfy before i get a desire.

FYI i read for almost 8 months before i flashed my first windows rom and 5 months after than beforer flashing android NAND

thanks in advance for any assistance

Use UnrEVOked for the Mac to root your device - it works brilliantly, and there's no real need for a step-by-step because it does it all itself.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hooolm:
I searched as best I could, but couldn't find a match to this particular issue.

I do have a rather weird issue with Gallery3D, that I've noticed after switching to OpenDesire, in 4.0.10 and 4.0.15.

Until recently I have been using various Sense based ROMs, where photos taken with the phone are stored in DCIM/100MEDIA and I always just used HTC's gallery app.

Now I'm on OpenDesire 4.0.15, which stores phone photos in DCIM/Camera, and uses Gallery3D to display them.

The thing is, when I try to display photos from DCIM/100MEDIA, taken earlier on various sense ROMs, Gallery3D shows some completely random photos instead. The thumbnails in 100MEDIA display correctly, but when I tap any thumbnail, it expands to the grainy fullscreen version, and is then replaced with a sharp and refined version of *another* picture.

It shows photos that I have taken with this same handset, but imported to my computer and deleted from the phone long ago. That is, photos that aren't even *on* the SD card anymore.

I have tried the following:

1. settings > apps > manage > Gallery3D > force stop + wipe data and settings

reboot

no luck

2. rename 100MEDIA to something else.

repeat 1.

no luck

3. Create new folder DCIM/Test

Copy files from DCIM/100MEDIA to DCIM/Test

The copies in DCIM/Test work well.

Hm.

4. factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik

reflash OpenDesire (4.0.15)

no luck

5. Made a flashable zip with most recent Gallery3D.apk from this thread and flashed it over the one included in OpenDesire 4.0.15

No luck (yes the update succeded, different file size ;))

Ok, fine, so I kind of solved the problem in attempt number 3, right? Well, yeah, except that I'm uncomfortable about my phone magically raising photos from the dead that I've deleted long ago.

Have you guys got any ideas or input?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Number22:
Well, your deleted pictures aren't exactly "dead", they just aren't in the master file table of your SD once you hit delete, but they can definetly read. But to avoid going offtopic, you can simply back up your files, format the SD card and restore the files. Everything should be ok.

As to why this happened, it's possible that your Master File Table got corrupted somehow (or Android's MediaManager isn't reading it correctly). But I can't really say much since it's difficult to tell what the real cause is (perhaps you didn't "safely remove"?).

Either way, reformatting should help. And keep using Gallery3D from that post, it's one of the best around :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harish.awe:
Reason

Even i experienced the same issue,,but couldn't find the solution,,,,but i figured out why it is happening..!!

My gallery 3d app was showing the images i took long back which are no more in the SDcard..!!!how can it be possible..??

The reason is,,

>When we delete the file in the sd card,,the operating system will just mark that that memory location with some special character ,,in fact the data will appears to be deleted but truly i won't ...!!

>when we add new files to the file system that space will be overwritten ,,,by the new file...!!

>So in our case the file which appears as the thumbnail is in exact same memory lactation as the old deleted image....so the thumbnails will be stored in different location as the cache,,,,,

>this is the reason why it show the thumbnail but when we click on that,,, it shows the original data resides there....!!

> its just a bug in the Gallery app

>And it will happen only when we delete the files inside the gallery app...

>Next time try to delete the files in Some file managers like Astro

Found this on Ebay, don't know though. It comes out of Shanghai and the price is cheap. I'm more worried about cheap crap wrecking my phone. Anybody try one of these yet?

http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-32GB-mi...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item1e5e54d767
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
it won't wreck your phone, but it will probably die after a few weeks - if that long. If you but it, be prepared to throw away your money at some point and all the data on the card.

SanDisk probably won't warranty it because it is probably counterfeit.
[Captivate Accessories] FrEcP:
don't think u ever will get it

last 16gb card i bought over ebay was about 7€cheaper then all the rest and i never saw it - got money back by paypal thats why i tried (and he had about 100 positive votings).

this seems to be about 50€ cheaper then a normal 32GB card and he has 0 votings - so he propably tires to get the money and vanish into dust before Paypal can claim the money from him.

would buy something more recent.
[Captivate Accessories] commander2k:
I bought a 16gb kingston class 4 on amazon, it was around 45$, and they had a promo that if you signed up for an amazon credit card you get 30$ off your first bill. so bought it and paid it off for 15$.

Honestly, with Froyo coming soon and apps2sd, Id really reccomend investing in a good class 4 or 6. The faster the speed of the card, the faster your phone will be able to pull and push data to it.

Another note, my class 4 can move large files at about 8-9 mb/s, but if there are many small files it will only run about 3 mb/s, so Id really recommend a reputable brand. That is not to say the kingston doesnt work good, just to say one of those cheapo 30$ cards advertising class 6 will probably run much slower and break apart quickly
[Captivate Accessories] jeromekobriger:
Good point about the speed issue. Can't wait for Froyo.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Class ratings apply to write speeds not read speeds. Theoretically you can write faster to higher class cards, but this usually applies to direct writes on the device (camcorder recording to card) not USB between phone and PC. The USB copies (PC to phone) may be faster, but you have a additional overhead of the USB bus.

Buy a name brand card. I have an 8Gb Sandisk class 2 and it works great for Camera, camcorder, and anything else i want to do with the phone software. My 1080P camcorder has class 6 cards, but it requires it.
[Captivate Accessories] tysj:
I'd steer clear from buying memory cards/ usb flash drives on eBay. I've seen way too many people get scammed on getting what they thought was a 16gb flash drive and end up with a 128mb stick with 16gb screenprinted on it. These microSD's are no different.
[Captivate Accessories] commander2k:
Actually I tested this using the sdhc adapter directly to the SD card slot. so no USB/phone interface interfering here. And again, thats what I was stressing. Buy a name brand card, probably a class 4 or 6 considering the move to froyo.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
So you got the same MB/s throughput with the card reader as well as the phone connected to the PC? Still puts the USB bus in the way. EDIT - NM I see what you were measuring.

I wonder what the transfer rate is on the phone - back and forth between internal SD and external SD.
[Captivate Accessories] commander2k:
Huh, interesting concept. I dont even know of a way to test that
[Captivate Accessories] jeffro7172:
I bought a 32gig card from China for 18 bucks shipped. 1st time I've been scammed on ebay. It seemed to show up as a 32gig, but the phone wouldn't recognize it and wanted to format it....sure thing I figured. Now it shows as an 8mb card that won't format no matter what I do. I disputed it to paypal after the auction/seller disappeared on ebay, but they want me to send it back to China to refund. I considered this might happen and was willing to risk 20 bucks, but it didn't end up well. The funniest part was that it showed up in Kingston packaging, but the date was 2008. I'm pretty sure 32 gig microSD's didn't even exist in 2008.
[Captivate Accessories] commander2k:
Thats terrible!! well good luck getting your money back... Lol so I guess if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Id just stick with trustworthy sellers, brands, and sites, and look for good deals!

I am not sure where you found this - but the official specs call for up to 32GB card:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features

Many people are using 32GB cards. It is the limit of the SDHC spec, so the 16gb is probably a typo from somewhere.

Not sure if the one I purchased is the same because the item post has been removed but mine came from Beijing I believe. Came in a Kingston package which was obviously fake.

I picked up the 32GB SanDisk Micro SD that is on Amazon for ~90 bucks, and I have to say I am somewhat impressed for a class 2. All I have done is load ~18GB of music and video on it and it transferred through the phone via USB at ~4MB a second. Much better than I expected. Since I only use it for media storage, it is more than adequate for my needs. Worth it, in my opinion.

Can you make the Gallery & Media Player read only Specific folders?

i sure many peoples have this problem that they have album art and other images file form different apps showing in the gallery that the android by default scan.

that is a way to config this in android? or " there is an APP to that? " :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
The only workaround that I'm aware of that works is to create a blank file called .nomedia and place it in any folders you don't want the media scanner to index.

I had to do this with several games that dumped their artwork and sounds in folders on the internal SD, and it kept them from showing up in Gallery & Media Player.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
.nomedia files are handy for game and app images, but not so much for album art -- it removes them from the music library too.

One tip I heard but haven't tried yet -- Load your music, with album art. Fire it up in the music player so you see the art once. Then delete the art using the gallery. Supposedly the music app caches the art so you keep your album art but clean up the gallery. Untested, but worth a shot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
