[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mareksal:
I have an HTC touch diamond, and my display is broken (phone is working, and screen also, but it cant sense/ "read" any touch). So i cant calibrate the screen, and because of that i cant do anything, but i really like to get my personal data (contacts, etc. ) from my phone. Are there any solutions to this problem? any software or some way to get back my data via pc?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mareksal:
Problem solved:)

I finally manage to solve the problem. :)

In case if somone else face the same situation i make a lil summary of what i did.

I always used a PIMbackup to backup my personal data (contacts, messages), but i use the binary backup, what is set by default and that's why i just cant extract the pib file from my phone (because in binary mode there are just a lot of NUL and other crap when u extract it- it makes a pbc file, and when u open it with notepad++/excel u cant get anything what makes sense)

So..

I connected my phone with a pc via activesync, and copied the last backup (.pib) file to my pc. <

then downloaded and installed Microsoft Device Emulator 3 from -download.microsoft.com/download/8/7/c/87c1f761-6deb-4cf4-90e5-65363f7bb7da/vs_emulator.exe

And then downloaded and installed windows mobile 6 professional images from- download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/2/012bfbba-9fe5-4e68-86c9-d434446d97dd/0409/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Professional%20Images%20(USA).msi[/url]

I dont know why, but u have to re-run Windows Mobile 6 Professional Images (USA).msi again and click repair. (at first time when u install it, it somehow skip some files or smth). And u may also get some visual studio error, but click ok.

Next, click Start -> Programs -> Windows Mobile 6 SDK -> Stand Alone Emulator Images -> USB English -> Professional

Then u can use wm in ur pc like a virtual machine. Then i just set the storage card location in phone to my pc-s Desktop. Downloaded PIM backup to my pc and open it with emulator , then select my pib file and restore it to my virtual windows mobile device. And then i was managed to view my contacs, but i make a new backup with emulator, but at this time i un-checked the binary backup box and set the backuplocation to storage card (what was my pc-s desktop).

Now when i have a new .pib file in my deskopt (without binary mode) i extract it with rar and get a .csc file, what u can open with notepad or excel, i profer notpad and check a word wrap. It's still a lot of crap, but u can find ur contacts and numbers.

And if u know some c/c++ u can make some lil program to get rid of that other crap u dont want in that file. :)

Maybe it's not the best and the easiest way to get back ur contacts, but thats the only way i was able to do that.

Another solution

10n days ago I've had problems with my phone so I detached the display to understand if the problem is in it. Well it wasn't but I had to work with the phone with no display.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] petkovmt:
Another solution

10n days ago I've had problems with my phone so I detached the display to understand if the problem is in it. Well it wasn't but I had to work with the phone with no display.

And here is how I did it.

1. Find with Google and install "MotionApps mDesktop" on your PC.

2. Connect your phone to the PC with ActiveSync.

2.1 When it ask how to connect your phone with ActiveSync, USB disk if you don't do anything your phone automatically connects with ActiveSync.

3. Start mDesktop and click connect in the upper right corner if it doesn't connect automatically.

4. Once connected on left side there are tabs- SMS,Contacts,Screen and others-whatever you want to see.

5. Click on the "Screen" tab and you will see your phone screen.

6. Click on that screen with your mouse to do what ever you want to do - you have complete control over your phone.

That's it.

I hope this info is useful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mareksal:
actually i'm not so sure does it work what u said, bcuz i used MyMobiler with what i should also controll my device screen via pc, but it doesn't work.

I think that maybe it works if phone is fully set up, i mean that my screen isn't calibrated. Maybe that was the problem why i cant use remote desktop, maybe not. Dunno..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] petkovmt:
Just to be sure I just tried it- you have to be able to calibrate your phone from your phone. I guess that it will be no problem if the touch screen is ok even if the lcd is not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bassdus:
Can you help me pls. So my screen in broken, both touck and lcd so i can't do the alignment. I have win7 on my pc so i've tried both ways but none of them it's working.
[EVO 4G General] bassic:
I've seen a few threads regarding this issue but they're all old and this seemed to be more of a problem with HW rev 002.

I recently had my SD card fail, as in not readable. Upon removing my case from the EVO to get at the SD card, I discovered that the glass screen is lifting off the phone in the lower left corner and won't stay in place no matter how hard I press on it. It's bad too, not just a little raised edge that lets some light out, but it's lifted enough where I slide a business card underneath the glass.

I don't have equipment protection through Sprint, and in fact I don't want a refurbished phone; I like this specific phone, if only there was a way to glue the glass back down.

How do I go about getting it fixed? Has anyone gone through HTC's warranty service to get it repaired? Is it something I can do myself? I didn't purchase through Sprint so please don't tell me to take it into a Sprint store, unless they honor HTC's 1 year warranty and take care of all the work.

Now regarding the other issue with the SD card, it's not the old software problem that was causing SD errors. The SD card is broken completely; even putting in my computer's card reader, it can't be read at all. I put a blank 2GB SD card back in the EVO and it's working just fine, so I know I have a dead card. Will HTC cover this under their warranty? They should, but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully gotten a faulty card replaced.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
As far as i know, you could take it through sprint and they should be able to honor htc's warranty as they are the ones selling it. That is from my experiences, at least.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
The sdcard failure could be a windows thing (mounting sdcard) or an app leaving corrupt data.. Overall it could be corrupt data from some source on the sdcard.. Using the custom recovery screen with a rooted phone, partition the sdcard. Set all values to 0 and the rest fat32. It wont partition your sdcard, it will just reformat it. Copy all data to your computer before you partition it, it will wipe the card. This has fixed my sdcard failure quite a few times. (Iv had an android phone for awhile and have had it rooted since owning).

If you really want to you can do this..

The screen separating you can get a hair dryer and blow hot air out, warm the glass and press it down reglueing it. It works for many.

If all fails, take it to sprint and use your warranty.
[EVO 4G General] bassic:
I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly; I'm unable to copy any data to my computer as Windows, Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), or OSX don't recognize that a card is inserted. I just accepted that the data is gone (which included some nice pictures from a recent vacation).

I'll try using the recovery to partition it and see if that works. Otherwise, I may take my chances and see if I can get a replacement 8GB card from HTC/Sprint through the warranty.

i've upgraded my wildfire with the ruu 2.2 chs yesterday.

but today when i would downgrade it to 2.1 i realised that the unrevoked worked no more on the 2.2, with hboot 0.83.

I've run thousands times the program but it always stucks at the step of "waiting for root", and then the phone starts normally to the android interface.

does anyone meet the same circonstance? how i wish i've never use this damn ruu.
[Wildfire General] tuanvo1982:
I got the absolutely same situation 4 days ago. Just waiting for a new version. I try to ask a guy in the unrevoked team and he said at the moment, there is no way. anyway, keep waiting and don't waste time on reading on websites because all articles are going the same way.

thx for your info, buddy.

The situation is not that worse cuz at least we won't understand what said the chs junk softs. hoho

[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
I have two froyo questions to see if the community can answer them before I try to set back to factory and upgrade.

1. URL Parsing

In J6 touchwiz could not parse this url into a hyperlink from email nor from calendar entry.

https://companyx.webex.com/xyz/j.php?ED=156264002&UID=479348601&RT=NCM0

Any idea if froyo can parse this (r-click, copy link location, send to yourself that url in an email to check)

2. edit email replies

In J6 when replying to email I could not edit the original email any idea if this is now possible in froyo?
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
anyone? I'm hoping I'm not the only one that wishes this was fixed.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I think it fixed it email, but not calendar. People were installing stock 2.2 calendar and that fixed it.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
Thanks alphadog.

I am bumping this post again because it is driving me INSANE that Samsung can't parse url's and I can't believe more people aren't being driven equally nuts by this. I get webex meeting requests in my calendars constantly and cannot click on them....
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I feel your frustration - I want the phone numbers for con calls.

My temporary workaround is Gemini calendar - it has a widget and an alternate the calendar. The alternate calendar parses everything. I don't like the alternate calendar as much, but i do like the widget - so i can click on it and bring up the event and click a link.

I did report the calendar issue to Samsung when the captivate first came out, and actually had a support person log it. So maybe 2.2 will fix it. If not, I will install the stock 2.2 calendar.
[Captivate General] Jirv311:
I seriously thought I was the only person experiencing this. I'm on 2.2 and still having the problem in email app. The urls look broken up for the most part right?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The problem we are discussing is the URLs, phone number, address not being "clickable" like in other places. Touching a URL should launch a browser; touching a phone number should launch the dialer, etc.

Since 2.2 is a beta, it is hard to say what it is supposed to do.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
Gemini calendar doesn't parse any better
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Did you go into settings and tell it which items to parse? It works 100% for me. I can click on everything - phone, email, www and map links.

Happy to provide screen shots if you can't find settings.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
Thanks ... you have just saved me a lot of frustration every week.

This is amazing on several levels.

One) that it seems so very easy to fix.

Two) that in all the other email and calendar programs I tired including touchdown, it is not fixed, not in the calendar nor in email.

Three ) Given number one, that it just seems so very very odd to me that there are so many thousands of these phones out there and not more people are complaining on xda-developers in particular of this completely messed up feature. I feel like a lone voice prehaps.

I wonder if this is purely a messed up thing on Captivate and not on the other galaxy variants?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
It is broken on others as well - I tried the i9000 2.1 ROM months ago -when i first go the phone - hoping it was a captivate bug.

I think that that most people buying the phone are not using it for business - so calendar items don't contain much data, and they don't miss the functionality.

The iPhone was missing this until version 3.x - so it took apple almost 2 years to add it as a function. I am surprised Samsung overlooked it. But, if 2.2 comes out and it is missing, i will install the stock Froyo calendar and be all set.

BTW - it is an easy fix - but for some reason they did what apple did - although the calendar data is available - they treat the location and body fields like untouchable text - you can't even copy what is there. It is just a matter of telling the calendar app, that these fields are readable and to parse for phone, url, email.

I hope you send a bug report to their customer service email or something. The more people that complain the more likely they fix it.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
I would hope that they have 1000's of reports of this already.

But assuming they don't :confused: or don't have enough to form a critical mass where the bug gets fixed, I am willing to add another.

What is the procedure for submitting a bug report to Samsung or do I submit it to AT&T?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have not found a formal method. I emailed their "contact us" link on their web page, and posted to their twitter and facebook accounts.

Like i said before, it took 2 years for apple to fix it - even others at work that were iPhone users didn't mind it as much. It just depends what you are fixitated on. GPS works OK for me - not perfect, but not a show stopper. Others feel differently.

Twitter and facebook - search for samsungmobile.
