[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contalyst:
Using Vista 64 I had sucess with:

1. Don't plug your phone to the computer yet.

2. Open Kies, from the settings turn off the options 'automatically start monitoring for device connection when Windows starts' and 'Start Kies automatically when device is connected'. For some reason the MTP installation failed each time Kies was open at the same time.

3. In Kies, click the Kies file menu on top of the application and select Driver recovery. Let it install the drivers, then reboot your computer (I only did this the first time).

4. Once rebooted, Kies shouldn't be running. Then plug your phone to the usb connection and select Samsung Kies mode.

5. Wait for the usb device to be detected and the drivers to be installed. Now the MTP installation shouldn't fail.

6. Start Kies and begin using your phone.

I cant get the firmware to upgrade tho... Kies still sucks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitar_east:
Yeah Kies is pretty balls.

arvindgaba.com/computer/samsung-galaxy-s/mtp-usb-device-failed-to-install-for-samsung-galaxy-s-kies-resolved/

This site has another interesting fix that worked for me when the uninstalling /reinstalling the drivers didn't work. Its a simple tool that scans your internal and SD card and to show which have too long filenames. You have to manually delete them (usually just thumbnail caches), and then Kies worked fine! Well, worked fine in the sense that it finally detected my device and said I had a firmware update available, and then it crashed when it was downloading :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almi88:
Ok... I understand what you guys said... but my problem isn't that kies wouldn't detect my device... I have no problem with that, my device is detected, but when I hit the save to pc contacts button it says that the device is in use and I can't backup my contacts... :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Please make sure that Bluetooth AND Sync are both turned OFF. The best way to do this is via the power control widget. Also if you are not using it then change back to the stock TWLauncher for interactions with Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almi88:
Both bluetooth and sync are turned off and I am using the stok TWLauncher... I don't understand what can be wrong... :(

[General Questions and Answers] ruebenchandler:
I'll cut to the chase, as this is not an uncommon problem. I've had a look at other threads in this forum but unfortunately the answer is not forthcoming. :-(

Bought a SE X10 Mini-Pro. So far so dandy. Bought from Panamoz and they shipped from Hong Kong.

NO MARKET! No problem, had same prob with a Galaxy, resolved with custom firmware through Odin, must be a similar fix somewhere ...

Advance a couple of weeks ...

The phone has been debranded, rooted and has had custom and generic firmware installed of at least a couple of types. It has been factory reset and I've searched the inner-workings of the phone. Each time, no market.

This is causing much anguish, because the market is pretty much half the phone. :-(

Anyone any further ideas? Because I've searched everywhere and ran out ...

Current info from the phone:

Build Number: U20i

Baseband Version: unknown

Build Number: 1.1.A.0.8

Thanks guys.

same is my problem , any solutions there ?
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
2 days ago I lost my active sync it just doesn't work, I connect my device to my pc and i doesn't even light the screen though it does charge :S... I've tried everything possible: Hard reset, Task29, flashed a few rooms (throught bootscreen and SD card) tried in a different PC but nothing seem to work. My X1 does do active sync in the same PC. I don't know what else to do... has anyone got a clue of what to do?... Thanks.
[HD2 General] jorisvdende:
Maybe stupid but, have you tried other USB ports?
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Try removing and reinstalling activesync and make sure you do a reboot inbetween. I had this problem once and a hard reset fixed it but that was only because the problem i had was phone side (server side) and not with the pc (client side)
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
As I said I tried in another PC and it didn't work either, but my Xperia X1 does work so the usb port is all right... Forgot to mention that on NRGZ roms sense looks quite messy now even on the roms I know are workin properly, and everytime I reebot the mob the navipanel pops out, now I change to another ROM and the sense seems ok but the home button pops out the navipanel. Its so strange :S:S!
[HD2 General] M3PH:
In that case i can't help with the activesync issue but the navipanel issue is solved by disabling the auto detection. It is possible that the two are linked but i had the navipanel problem with the most recent energy rom and implemented the fix and all is well
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
so how do I disable that? and whr is the fix? cheers.

Still waiting for answers about the Active sync...

Thanks.
[HD2 General] abmantis:
Have you disable the "Enable faster data synchronization" thing?

Mine only syncs that way... It stopped syncing with faster sync some time ago...
[HD2 General] Grisha24:
Hi, I have had same problem... spent around 2 days on Google and found a likely cause for that... Is there any chance that you phone got wet or short circuit a mini USB port... Anyways, have a look this forum and my post at the end...

[HD2 General] p107r0:
when my ActiveSync stops working, the thing that usually help is "reinitiating" the connection - you could try step described here
[HD2 General] Grisha24:
Thanks for trying to help, this page is very helpful when device is recognized by PC, but has ActiveSync profile mismatch. The first thing that I did is I've disabled fast sync on HD2, then I've deleted all profiles and their traces on PC and HD2 as well. Usually it helps when you plug in the phone, computer acknowledges it, but pop in warning sign that USB device is not recognized or recognizes it but fails to initiate ActiveSync. In my case there was no reaction (on multiple computers) - like nothing is plugged in... Will see what repairer says... I'll post an update as soon as I'll hear from them.
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
Yeah I have the same problem any PC just doesn't recognize the usb connection.
[HD2 General] DrATty:
The link above covers what I'd try next in a round and about way.

Can you connect to your PC by cable in disk drive mode (>>Settings>>Other>>USB to PC)? Can you connect ActiveSync via BlueTooth? Can you synchronize with gMail using the Exchange settings for the service? The above tests should give a better idea as to where the problem is; whether with ActiveSync or the USB connection.

There's a great site covering ActiveSync problems. It's out of date but still relevant. Search for ActiveSync Troubleshooter by Chris de Herra.
[HD2 General] ericjennings:
I had problems with active sync a while ago.

The HD2 would charge but was not recognised by active sync.

If you put the phone into bootloader it says 'serial' at the bottom of the screen

When you connect it to your pc via usb, this should change to 'usb'

Mine didn't.....and a bit of reading around showed that this means the usb socket is faulty.

I sent mine back to HTC and they replaced the motherboard and I've had no problem since.

Thanks for sharing!

People, come a little help, no way can I synchronize the phone with Windows, I have Windows 7, and installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but they can not sync to make, that would later be some ROM and Radio ROM I put, these are unic few days. I went to microsoft and my phone and there I upload everything and write synchronization is successful, but when Connecting your phone and choose sync anything, open the Mobile Device Center and not conected! Does anyone know the easiest way to sync? I would be eternally grateful to him!

I have another problem, the computer I see the SD card, a phone? I do not know what the problem was that I somehow know to help me, not I need to do factory reset because I have 450 phone numbers, and I can not seem to sync them! Means when I go to Start / Settings / sd card & phone storage, no write down my sd card? And all the programs that are on the card normally do not work! I ask for help!

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] Vukile:
Got the same problem with Windows 7. Should have stayed with good old XP. Is there no way to get this so called driver?
[HD2 General] RalphS:
Have you tried a different USB / microUSB cable?

I had one with a single broken wire that wouldn't charge but would pass data. Maybe you have a broken data wire.
[HD2 General] Grisha24:
my HD2 came back from repair

I've got my HD2 back from repair centre... and it works fine... most bizar part is paper say that nothing was done...

Hello all

I'm looking for the stock 'nexus' live wallpaper and the neural network live wallpaper from the original droid

I'm looking for those specifically. I've tried nexusmod (wouldn't run) and nexus revamped but they just didn't look right.

If anyone could point me in the direction of. Apks for either of these I would love you forever and possibly send you a cookie.

I've looked everywhere myself to no avail..I find it hard to believe as popular as these seem to be that NO ONE has done this.

Many thanks for your time..

I have a Leo similar to the neural network. Let me know if you want the apk. Forgot where I found it.... but I can email it to you if you want.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerox8610:
So I was up one night, with my rooted eris. Lying in bed, texting my girlfriend because she refused to let me sleep, I thought nothing of it. My phone was plugged in, and I fell asleep on top of it >.<

Now most of the time my phone will automatically scroll to the left.

I have reset my phone and tried other ROMs and it's all the same. I read in the forums that there is no fix but that was as of 5-xx-10

So i was wondering.... Is there a fix now or am I going to have to get a new phone??

And if i do have to get a new phone Would it be a refurb or would it be a NEW phone???

I would prefer to get a new phone... My Eris just doesnt seem to cut it anymore.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
I had this issue and it turned out being a hardware issue. I traded it in for a replacement. It was refurbished from different parts. I haven't had any problems with the one I have and I have had it longer than my first Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8on3s:

Lucky you, i haven't even got a year into my NEW contract with this phone yet. I would love to have verizon give me a new phone, but somehow im doubting they will
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfitzger:
my wife's eris was doing the same thing, but when we took it to verizon they it didn't do it in front of them (kinda like how a car's "doing something" until you take it to the mechanics... figures:mad:) and so they told her they can't do anything about it

this is actually the 2nd phone to do it, the first was brand new this one is a refurb
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8on3s:
Lol ok well upgrade was the wrong word we're on the same we got ours in February, but perhaps she could be lucky and get something newer, if not the Eris is still a killer phone once you get Froyo on it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
When I took mine in, they replaced it with no questions asked. It is a known issue that many people have had. In that situation I would probably try to speak to someone else. Also, I remember that the problem seemed to happen more when charging.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
it is an issue with the trackball and the insulation around it in some eris's. take it in and verizon should give you a replacement.

Customer Support

I'm on my 3rd Eris now, after having the left scrolling problem on both phones. My first was not rooted, second was, and ultimately proved to be a common hardware issue. In my experience, the store itself can be quite difficult to deal with. What I have done, which has yet to fail me, is call technical support and go over your symptoms. They connected me, both times, with someone from the more advanced technical assistance. I told them that I had the latest update and had no physical damage, and they told me it needed to be replaced. Ask them, and they happily agree, to call your local store and see if there are any replacements available in stock. They will then put an indication on your account that a replacement is necessary and when you arrive at the store, you will not have to go through the staff in the stores judgement. Just let them know they will need to replace the phone and to look at notes on your account. Otherwise, the techie will simply send you a phone from the warehouse and you must send back the defective one, charging you nothing in the process. I know some of that is repeat information, but unfortunately have not had much luck with this phone. I mentioned the issue to the tech support and they mentioned that you can usually claim a new upgraded phone after 4-5 warranty replacements. Just some FYI from my unfortunate experience. Good luck all!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Correct
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospodinwizard:
I started having this problem a couple days ago on my 2nd Eris. I called Verizon and explained the problem in a calm manner and they denied any knowledge of this being an issue with Eris. Naturally they are sending me a replacement Eris but the weird thing is they agreed to send me an Incredible at no charge if I have any trouble with the Eris that is en route to me. So, um yeah, they know this is a known Eris problem.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaceMN:
So, I'm assuming you need to have insurance on the phone in order for them to replace it??? Or will they simply replace any defective Eris??

I bought my Eris virtually unused from a guy on craigslist (he, obviously, bought it through Verizon)...is there any chance they would replace it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospodinwizard:
OK so Verizon is sending me a replacement for my auto-scrolling phone. Of course, the phone was next to unusable in the interim until I re-installed Launcher Pro and set it to have just one homescreen. Kind of annoying only having one screen but at least I can use my phone until the replacement arrives.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trancexronik:
I found one way to fix this issue temporarily. If you wipe your phone few times with a hand or against your jeans...this issue dissapears....for few minutes, sometimes hours, simetimes a day or two....

clearly hardware replacements does not work. any techies here to fix the issue on a hardware level?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mats Sundin:
ERIS+TAKBALLS=Crap

Totally agree as YOU will find many others that have been cursed with the ERIS

Trackball. It has a mind of its own. I spans from inadvertently making phone calls you dont want to, to locking the whole damn thing.

I still myself have not decided on what to do.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
I fixed mine by replacing the usb port and cleaning the Tball rollers with alcohol.

But what I think was most helpful in correcting it was;

The usb port and Tball are on a separate daughter board, held down by 2 screws. When removing it, I noticed the screws seemed loose. Putting it back together, I made sure they were tight.

Replacing the usb port (daughter board) was just because I had a spare. I think its a matter of the board coming loose and maybe dirty rollers.

At the same time the Tball started messing up, I noticed the usb port was getting wiggly.

Yes, this has definitely helped some people in the past, and myself, from time to time. Not always, though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dianeofarcadia:
The pressing on the trackball was an temporary fix on mine aswell. In the end the trackball had a mind of its own and rendered my Eris completely unusable. Got a replacemt Eris, however the ota that I refused to accept last year rendered the Eris incompatible with my hearing aid. Version said they would only give me another Eris and I could take it up with HTC (done that before they released the ota. Long story.they didn't care). Ended up purchasing a Droid X through Verizons preowned program for under 100.

Like the Droid X, but miss the Eris community.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwonka69:
I just called verizon and they sent me a new refurb since I pay for the insurance.

The tech person told me they don't have any reported issues with the trackball and I laughed at her and offered her the link to this site.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeness83:
Seems to be a pretty common problem. I've had that problem with three eris's. I went to the Verizon store and everytime they just replaced it, no questions asked. Leads me to believe it is a known/common defect.

What does VZ customer service say when they see a rooted phone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elelau:
Not exactly same issue...

When my wife's Eris was not charging with ANY charging cord or usb cable and trackball was sketchy from time to time, I called the tech trying to get her a free upgrade. Since I am the primary and we didnt have insurance on her's and she got it over a year ago, they told me there was nothing they could do. The thing the tech wanted me to do was a battery pull. I doubted any possibility that would work since I was confident it was a hardware issue.

Can you believe that a simple battery pull fixed what I thought was a hardware issue? It did!

Best thing out of that call was since she found out we were out of warranty on her phone, she let me root it and fix her SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Eris to Zen!:D

Sorry for being a noob and asking this if there is a simple answer. I searched but couldnt find the right answer.

Ok so Ive been real happy so far with Stock n1 and universal androot. I love the root apps.

Now that the update is out (2.2.1. frg83) I wanted to update and still have root access on stock. I was not able to update because i had deleted stock apps like amazon, twitter, etc with titanium.

I had to flash a stock rom and then update to 2.2.1 worked, BUT no root access.

I even unlocked the bootloader to see if that would give me instant root but it didnt.

How can i go about getting root access on my n1 with 2.2.1. ? I want to run a stock rom and use rooted apps like titanium. Also to get future updates like gingerbread OTA.

I do not want a custom rom like cyanogen. Just stock 2.2.1. with root access.

whats the easiest way to achieve this?

I tried installing amon ra, and it still wouldnt give me root access, couldnt install superuser, ect.

please help.
