This doesn't sound encouraging.

I too have a similar issue. My company doesn't allow connecting to the Exchange server from personal phones and local Outlook sync was the only way for me to keep track of the meetings / tasks (also contacts) through my personal phone (Fuze).
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
There is no specific technical barrier that stops this. Its a conscious design decision to leave it out.

And theres no guarantee that MS` new closed approach to WP7 will mean that 3rd parties are allowed to write a local sync solution, either. Time will tell on that one.

The cloud is the future, aparrently, like it or not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xma1e:
I am also concerned about my Outlook data. having my data in the Cloud bothers me too, I want the data with me not online. It doesn't matter how careful I am with data, anthing that is not under my direct control is at risk.

For example I have an email address shared only with friends which was all fine until one of my friend fell foul of a social network scam, not my email address is out in the wild and I'm recieving spam. i may be tech savvy, but some people should be allowed near a PC or phone. I don't want to put personal data in the Cloud only to have someone hack MS and gain access. Can you image a list of peoples diary saying where they are and when they are not at home, please come and rob me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
Take a pragmatic look at what data about you is out there on the internet and make a considered, risk based approach. If after that you still don`t like contacts and calendar events in the cloud, WP7 is not for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xma1e:
Very little is out there about me that I don't want out there. There's a difference between what is out there and what PERSONAL information I have in Outlook, which includes my diary, past and present, things I need to do, notes I make, etc.

I plan to look at WP7 once the devices are out and find out how things work myself before making a judgement either way. At the moment it's all speculation because very few people have their hands on one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
I too don't like the cloud based approach Microsoft wants to implement. I'm hoping there will be a third party solution.
[Windows Phone 7 General] janemanno1:
I see your point but I store most my friend and family member's birthdays, anniversary, their kid's names, address and home phone numbers. It would be a disaster to have that information out in open for someone to hack. Atleast my Outlook data is at home sitting behind a firewall and stuff.

That being said, I am not saying that the server farms that serve cloud are open, I am sure they are probably more secure than my own PC at home but then there is more motive for hackers to gain access to the cloud than getting to my PC; so more risks. And let us not fool ourselves by overlooking the record of online privacy issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lavike:
I think Janemanno has a point. If the information is online it isn't private. I'm usually not a conspiracy theorist but it only take the Justice Department one search warrent to get into the Cloud in the USA (not sure about other countries) but they would have to get search warrents for each computer at home.

What assurances are there that we are protected from hackers, data purchasers, and our own governments?

Ugh!
[Windows Phone 7 General] janemanno1:
Apart from all that issues lets say that I will put all that info there but I just tried to create 1 contact in Outlook and installed the Outlook Live Connector.

I populated all the fields that I generally use and guess what, the live contacts doesn't not have a field for anniversary and no categories. I thought the whole point of WP7 was to be productive and be effective at organising. Not looking good.

In my view WP7 is the Windows Vista of mobile phones where a lot of things are missing and next version I am hoping will be like Windows 7.

I have no issues adding anniversaries.

Half of you people prolly use android with all ur stuff on a google server anyways...
[Windows Phone 7 General] janemanno1:
When I login to my windows live account ***@live.com, I can see the birthday but I can't see the anniversary. Are you in US? Is it possible that it hasn't been rolled out to other countries yet? I use WM 6.5 at the moment and the only thing is I am looking for a new contract so want to give this a go but the Outlook sync is putting me off.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Old thread but I just want to add that your consumer antivirus and firewall has nothing on what's running on the Windows Live servers. If you use the same password everywhere or weak passwords and get hacked that's your problem, but your home computer isn't anything near as secure as the Windows Live Servers. Far from it.

Someone can break into your house, take the hard drive and just get the PST file and all of your information is in there...

Or they can hack your computer and download it.

I dunno where people get these ideas that their home computers are more secure than a Microsoft/Google servers come from.

And yes, your information is private if you know how to set your privacy controls. Microsoft/Google will not steal your identity and buy a house... Trust me...

Now that the N1 is discontinued, has anyone had luck getting a replacement (identical or close to it) for the cute Android slip cover which came with our phones? I successfully got a replacement when I phoned HTC a few months ago (before discontinuation), but now they've redirected me to their accessories phone number.

The number they gave me points to LetsTalk.com. And they don't have anything resembling said slip cover. Am I SOL here? Any other suggestions?
[Nexus One Accessories] quinbd:
I had the exact same problem. There is no place to find them online but ebay. I got a replacement and it is new and the exact quality of my old one :)

[Nexus One Accessories] cmstlist:
Tempting! I've used mine not only every day, but also for several months on my Motorola Milestone. It fits, but the squarish shape of the Milestone really stretched out the slip cover and left it a bit deformed.

[General Questions and Answers] swaghost:
HP Zeen

OK, I managed to use the latest Android (2.3) SDK usb drivers to get the windows to recognize the device. I could copy files to/from the SD card.

USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&REV_0223&MI_01

USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&MI_01

To get it to work, I had to edit the inf file at location:

"[SDK PATH]\google-usb_driver\android_winusb.inf" and add the following information:

;FOR ZEEN

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&REV_0223&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&MI_01

ADB currently will not recognize the device. I'm not sure what's messed up. Calling HP now to see about proper USB drivers.
[General Questions and Answers] swaghost:
Zeen

OK, HP says the USB drivers for the zeen come with the printer and even though I plugged in the first time it didn't work, the second time it did and Win 7 recognized it as a HP zeen. Ran the disk install in between.

That said ADB still has no idea. Fresh eclipse SDK install. Any thoughts on how to get ADB to recognize it?
[General Questions and Answers] cdudeman:
Let's keep this thread alive. I got the drivers installed with your help. Can't get adb to see mine either. There has to be something we are missing. I think this device is similar to the pandigital novel so I have been reading over there. I will keep working.
[General Questions and Answers] swaghost:
Apparently, some firmwares seem to disable "adb" service...

Nice to hear someone else is out there trying. I found the following in a different post about the galaxy s, tried it with the Z4root, and while the command seems to take, it didn't work to get ADB. I tried it on a couple of different machines, let me know if it works for you. Also, when I called HP about the drivers they (at least the support techs) didn't know squat about android. Not helpful.

"Apparently, some firmwares seem to disable "adb" service on the Galaxy S.

So in case you run into this problem (adb unable to see the device) what you will need is to modify /default.prop on the SGS.

Here is what I had originally:

Code:

#

# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES

#

ro.secure=1

ro.debuggable=0

persist.service.adb.enable=0

To enable ADB on SGS

1. Run on the device: setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1 to temporarily switch it on.

2. pull /default.props with adb and modify the "ro.secure=0" and "persist.service.adb.enable=1"

2. mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

3. push modified default.props back to /

In more detail:

1. Root your device (see FAQ sticky post)

2. Install shell emulator on the device

3. In shell emulator, enable ADB (not sure if you need to run "su" before that):

setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1

4. Now, you should be able to connect to the device with ADB (temporarily). If not, make sure your udev rules (for Linux: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules) are smth like:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

5. To make the change permanent:

adb pull /default.props .

(this will copy default props to local directory)

6. Modify the two properties as follows:

ro.secure=0

persist.service.adb.enable=1

7. Re-mount the root filesystem on the device in read-write mode (requires "su" before that):

mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

8. Now overwrite the /default.props on the device with modified one:

adb push default.props /default.props"

Okay, z4root did give me root access. I installed root explorer and terminal emulator. I am trying to find adb wireless so I can see if we can adb into the device using that. I think if I can i can install the market on the zeen
[General Questions and Answers] swaghost:
RootExplorer

Got a link to the RootExplorer APK? When temporarily rooted, I tried to install the market APK and got the finger. Did you perma-root or just do temporary?

I don't know anything about wireless ADB. What's the story with that? (admittedly, I'm a developer but getting up to speed on hacking the thing open).
[General Questions and Answers] cdudeman:
I dont think I am aloud to post the root explorer apk. Wireless adb is just supposed to let you use adb without plugging anything in. Unfortunately, it says my device isnt rooted when trying to run it. Im gonna keep playing around with it.
[General Questions and Answers] cdudeman:
Hey can you try to run adb over wifi. Just hook up your zeen to wifi and your pc and run adb like normal, but when you first run it type "adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx:5554

replace xxx with your zeen ip address. See if it lets you connect like that.
[General Questions and Answers] twhite1288:
all the zeen but the adb drivers are in the zeen itself your just useing and uncapatable cable so it wont install usb driver and masstorage ones with out the proper cable, the adb drivers you will only get when useing sdk tool and has to be in debuging mode and pluse it has to have the correct cords like useing a samsung usb with a motorolla usb and sry i faild english and hate typeing so to lazy to do spell check like any one else will u get my giff the adb driver will install same time sdk will just its kinda tricky getting access to them and makething them work, a good way to test is plug in your w.e droid and go to your cpu cmd window, and type adb shell if it finds you droid then your golden but if not then bad cable or not in debuggin mode and have to have sdk installed and packages installed that come with it....

Do you think its possible to get the Android to trick the PC or whatever it connects to, to think that its something else.

Hey all,

This is a black notification bar for Dj Steves froyo 1.0 only and blue wifi icon as the stock is black. Will need root and root explorer or alt file explorer.

1. Download notificationbar1.0.zip.

2. Extract services.jar and framework-res.apk from zip to SDCARD.

3. Backup current framework-res.apk and services.jar in /system/framework.

4. Mount /system/framework as RW, and copy services.jar then framework-res.apk from step 2 into the folder.

5. After file copies, phone will reboot and you will have black notification bar and new wifi icons and white text!

To restore old services.jar and framework-res.apk, simply perform same steps except copy over the backed up files.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HoTdiGiTi:
Tried that didnt work just says install latest flash, other people on modaco site experience same as me, wonder which version of froyo u on? Im on baseband version not the update-new.zip
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
I am running the first update-new, old base band. The thing is though, the two files should have no effect on flash. Tonight I am going to be installing the update-newv2 and will see what difference that makes. DJ_Steve has not added flash into the rom nor has he modified either framework-res.apk or services.jar.

So in your words "just says install latest flash" and did you install flash again? Is it throwing an error when trying to reinstall flash?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] HoTdiGiTi:
i get a link to install flaelsh instead of the flash animation. I click it and it redirects me to the market place where strangely i have to log back into my google.mail. Then it just shows uninstall so i do that then reinstall it and still no flash.

Didnt think those files would effect flash until someone mentioned the same problem, both of us reverted back to the original files and everything ok again.

Have noticed after first boot when changing files all my widgets dont work straight away and orignal wallpaper etc is back. Also have to log back into google.mail sync etc.

Will have another go and reboot a few times to makes sure because i really like this mod

Edit: working now, rebooted after uninstall and bebooted after reinstall, great mod just need the bottom menu in black now to finish it off. Cheers for the help

I was poking around in there for based off another thread but this is the thread i am looking for thanks!

Also I was able to recreate the flash problem after updating to v2. It seems on Steve's new v2 that once reinstalled flash still dont work. So this problem only affects those on the new v2, anyone using the first update-new should be ok to reinstall flash and continue streaking. I will get this solved shortly and look into meltus' thread for the rest of the font color.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
Interesting its working fine now on v2. Follow all the steps. Then copy over services.jar one more time and power cycle phone. also make sure system, and framework are mount RO after copying the files.

The culprit seems to be services.jar. For whatever reason it doesn't play nice with the new build.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
I had some guys on irc test this. Both on v2, one guy had no problems with flash after following steps. Other guy had the flash problem. He fixed by uninstalling flash, reinstalling flash, reboot phone and testing flash again.

The icons themselves reside within framework-res.apk. The font colors can be changed in services.jar. You could make one icon that is blank and use it in place of each icon. There has to be an easier way to not show battery though...
