Can't see this ever being possible to be honest...they'll both use their own format to store the messages...only way would be to store them online somewhere, but that would mean having to connect to wifi or 4g to view your texts which wouldnt be very handy.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zoomb:
Yes, that's what I think too, but I can only hope, can't I ;-)

@jonny68: next to just for chatting I use sms to exchange and/or discuss data with other people just because that works best for me. (they don't always have email on the go). That's why they have to be all together and in the right order. I do keep them for a while too...

Reset-a-thon 2K10!

I think the awnser lies in either the MyPhone server and or Exchange for Windows Server 2008 R2.. I am going to investigate this further and will report back my findings.. Hang in there! :D

btw.. I for one just took advantage of the HTC recall/replace of the 16GB MicroSD card, Next day air, that's what I call service. They replaced the SanDisk Class 2 with a Samsung Class 2 16GB, and I must say Android boots twice as fast!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I'm not a developer as such, but surely it's got to be possible for an app to export all your text messages into a simple XML file on your storage card, and on the booting of each OS, ingest them into memory-store? Similarly the app would then be used instead of the Restart button to "Save your text messages and then turn Restart"?

It would be a great if a WM developer could hook up with an Android developer and just create this little step to make it and ugly but probably seamless process.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobius911:
I searched and found lots of threads on removing the bloat, not many on how to reinstall. I am going to flash a friend's phone to Cognition Froyo Beta6 and I know she uses this app.

I have successfully reloaded other removed .apk's using the Sideload Wonder Machine. However, this particular application won't install successfully (I'm testing it out on my phone just to see if it can install; I'm running Cog Beta5.5). After it tries to install I get a line saying Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT].

In DG's list of removed bloatware there are two files for Daily Briefing: InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex. Maybe the odex file is the problem? Do I do anything with that file? Drop it in /system/apps before trying to install the apk file? Any help appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Just get the genie widget. It is much better in my opinion and does the what the daily briefing widget did plus some. Just a thought.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobius911:
Thanks, I will take a look at Genie Widget.

For what it's worth, I did finally figure out how to reload Daily Briefing. I'll post how I did it here since it may help someone else who is trying to reload an app that includes an odex file.

I used Root Explorer to put both of the files in system/app. Then I adjusted the permissions for the .apk file to: User; read, rewrite, execute - Group; read, execute - and Others; read, execute. I did not "install" the app. I just rebooted the phone and it was there. I don't know for certain, but I would expect this to work for other apps that have a corresponding odex file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanhatescoffee:
Thanks for your instructions mobius911. This got me going in the right direction for my issue, which was reinstalling a couple other AT&T apps - AT&T Navigator and Family Map. I got the original AT&T APKs from designgears' list of removed apps in his Cognition mod [http://www.ponack.net/designgears/removed-apps-froyo/]. I knew which one was for AT&T Nav ("ATTNav") but I had to search to find out which APK was the right one for Family Map [http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8420365&postcount=62]. Then I used Droid Explorer [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558108] to install the APKs into system/app. It was pretty easy to do once I figured it out but jeez, it sure took me a while to get there. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txsurfer:
You by any chance have both files still for daily brief? Want to get them back on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locknessmunster:
i followed the instructions on root explorer and i get stuck in a boot loop upon reboot. any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.Hook:
I figured something out with this. I just bought the Samsung Desk dock and wanted DeskHome to work. It has an icon for Daily Briefing and I actually like the program. I am running Cognition 2.3b4 and it does not have the Daily Briefing on it. I had tried backing it up with Titanium backup, but it did not restore correctly.

Anyway, onto the meat of the matter. Cognition v2.3b3 actually DOES have an .apk for the daily briefing in it and it does not require the odex to work. I am assuming Designgears modified it. If you download the Cognition v2.3b3 and extract it to a folder somewhere, you can browse to system - app and find the InfoAlarm.apk there. Then use Root Explorer to copy it into the system - app folder on your phone. Reboot, and you will have Daily Briefing.

This is pretty much the same thing that deanhatescoffee did, but I was unable to find a link to where the extracted .apk files were.

Here is a link to Cognition v2.3b3.

What is kernel swapping? Why do we need it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you dont unless you are doing some rom swapping between 2.2<->2.1 or want to play around with an i9000 rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob989_69:
You need it to flash any ROM for Froyo. Basically froyo's recovery doesn't support unsigned zips, such as cognition, or the update.zip root method from Eclair.

Essentially you're flashing to a kernel that will allow you to flash an unsigned zip, then using that to load clockwork recovery, and then flash you're desired .zip.

The current version of DG's Cognition, version 6 now includes support for Clockwork recovery, and also the ability to flash unsigned zips via ROM Manager or clockwork so Kernel swapping isn't necessary if you flash to that version.

There is also a standalone kernel with the same functionality in the dev section. You can odin flash that overtop of whatever you're running. Again, only for 2.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you dont need it though....you can use ODIN
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
I was trying to restore my phone back to stock 2.1 with odin. My phone shut off and now I cant get my computer to even recognize it is plugged in. The picture on the screen now is a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them. I'm in serious need of help.
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
Relax. Unplug phone and battery. Put batt back. Open odin 1 click. Hold both vol buttons and plug in usb to get to download screen. (Or vol down if you were on i9000 rom.)

Sent from my Captivate GT-I9000
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
No luck

I have tried that and I keep getting the same picture of a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them.
[Captivate General] awkwardsilence50:
Keep trying. Took me about 10 tries.
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
No detection

Should the computer detect the phone? It never acts like it is detected. Were you seeing the same symbols on the screen?
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
if you havent try removing external sd card and sim card too. maybe voodoo but it might help.
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
How to enter download mode:

Method 1: (ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)

Open a cmd prompt/console/shell

adb shell

adb reboot download

Method 2: (KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power

Method 3: (KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

copied from dg's one click odin page.
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
Still no go

I appriciate all the replies. I have tried all 3 methods so far but nothing helps. I'm begining to to think it is just beyond bricked. I will keep trying the key sequences. Method number is obviously out.
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
Screen Shot

View attachment 418453Here is the screen I'm seeing if this helps.
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
give the phone a few minutes to rest with battery out or just give it 10 minutes, then try again.

What rom did you have installed?
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
Have had that screen and worse. black screen with red letters at one time, it just took persistence. I even tried to return phone once but they didnt so I went back to the drawing board. usually the method of pulling battery, sim, and sd, then opening odin, then holding both up and down volume, while holding both vol buttons down, insert the usb. thats the only method i use. it eventually works
[Captivate General] praetorrian:
Solution Found

If you see this screen this is what to do to get into download mode. This worked and saved my bacon. Thanks to everyone who replied.

•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.

•Remove and replace the battery.

•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.

•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
Cool, I kinda remember doing that at some point. Good for you. Now go hack up that phone some more. LOL. :D If you get brave, try the ROM I am running.. 30 steps to load it.

edit: added your procedure to evernote so i can get to it when i need it.
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
I've got a Motorola Flipout locked to Orange UK. I tried everything to get it unlocked but without success. I tried several unlock code services but their codes all didn't work. Then I bought a X-SIM IV unlock sim-card which is placed between the sim-card and the phone. The phone then didn't ask for an unlock code but I could not register anymore into the network.

Is there any other solution to unlock the phone? Maybe there is a software solution like for the Samsung Galaxy S?
[Flipout and Charm General] theimpaler747:
I searched around some for you, and all I found was sites where you'd have to pay about $10 to get a code... not sure if there is any other way right now :o
[Flipout and Charm General] flakeydan:
I've tried two companies who've both given me the same unlock codes which don't work!! not good! Will report back if I find a solution.
[Flipout and Charm General] bruce_wayne:
Glad you posted this, I'm thinking about getting the flipout from orange uk but I want to use my t mobile sim. What have orange said about an unlock code for it?
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
Orange wants you to be a customer for at least 3 month to get an unlock code from them (see help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/474187).
[Flipout and Charm General] bruce_wayne:
Wow. 3 months is a long wait. I might have to consider buying a sim free handset.

The unlock code companies on the internet usually get a new database on a regular basis (not sure how regular) to accommodate new handsets it could be worth emailing them to see when a working code may be available.
[Flipout and Charm General] Tiger33:
any luck on finding a service to unlock this phone yet

every site i find seems dodgy
[Flipout and Charm General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I don't think there's a really good, reputable site yet, just looked myself
[Flipout and Charm General] Tiger33:
yeah seems so :-(

very strange...

thought it would have been a siple remote unlock :-(
[Flipout and Charm General] theimpaler747:
If I find something I'll certainly let everyone know!

i need to get this unlocked just bought one from orange they gave me £30 discount as i am a payandgo customer already £149,99 with the topup all in.
[Flipout and Charm General] jean001luc:
Ive tried two methods

1) requesting codes (two of) from World-unlock.net

2) taking it to a shop in Coventry (UK)

Neither have worked

Still looking around
[Flipout and Charm General] jutley:
has anyone tried direct motorola codes?
[Flipout and Charm General] jutley:
Has anyone tried this one yet http://www.foneszone.co.uk/unlock_form/Motorola/Flipout.php

please if you have already tried then i wont bother.
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
Yes, foneszone.co.uk was the first I tried but the code they sent didn't work.
[Flipout and Charm General] jutley:
Snap they just sent me a email saying that they couldnt even find the code so getting a refund. orange are useless they wanted me to wait three months before i can unlock even thogh i have been a loyail customer for many years and the sales person was a stuborn .anker. oh well the search goes on for a working unlock.
[Flipout and Charm General] jutley:
Just seen this on ebay gonna give it a try got nothing to loose £2.99

MOD EDIT: Ebay Links

UPDATE this could be the unlocking code we have been looking for still waiting for code but it looks promising and it is a new item on ebay for the flipout they know there is a demand for this phone to be unlocked its cheap enough i will report back as to if it works as soon as i recieve the unlock code.
[Flipout and Charm General] darklight:
Hi there,

.. wondering if the ebay link ( unlock solution) you followed worked for your Flipout?

I actually got an ismart sim and carefully filed the chip down to slip into the sim slot but still too big to fit inthere

Can you kindly PM me the ebay link as I cannot follow it from your posting.

Many thanks
[Flipout and Charm General] jutley:
firsy sorry mods for posting ebay link should of known better and second it doesnt work motorola dont have the updated codes yet they will let me know when they do and i will let people know here so at the moment there is no way to unlock still.
[Flipout and Charm General] darklight:
spotted this unlock solution on the bay Item number: 230552565930
[Flipout and Charm General] :
HI , how were you able to get the x-sim overlay/ sim sandwich into the phone, The flipout is a very compact handset & I wonder how you got the xsim into the handset , did you have to file down the small black microchip on the xsim ?

thanks
[Flipout and Charm General] Tiger33:
umm

i'm confuised how we have ebay auctions for this yet no websites offering this service...

seems odd.

let us know how it works out with ebay
[Flipout and Charm General] shingers5:
stay away from flipout if need unlocking as no one can provide codes that work apart from orange. orange and t-mobile have added security that prevents the codes obtained from moto from working. the only unlocking solution is from orange uk themselves! unlockdata.co.uk provided me with 2 codes that did not work. they guarantee to unlock any motorola except those on 3 uk. well orange needs to be added to that as well. also tried mobileunlocked.com and they gave me a full refund without me even asking!!!!!!!!!!
[Flipout and Charm General] lonea:
I also had issue with the flipout unlock. Tried fonezone and another, they both produced the same code. I was finally able to get it unlock at thephoneunlockers dot com.

The codes I got from the first two were very short codes. If I remember correctly it was only 8 digits. But the unlock code that worked is 16 digits long.

my flipout is rogers branded
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
It was difficult and you have to be very careful but it's possible. The chip is very thin (it's as thin as a sim-card) so they both fit into the sim-slot together. The bigger problem was to get the sim-card out again. I had to use a needle.

Orange UK Flipout

Hi Guys,

After a week searching and 2 tryes failed I tryed this website:

w**dot unlock-motorola dot com

These guys provided me a 16 digit unlock code and it worked.

It was a bit more expensive then the previus but I have my flipout unlocked.

Hope it helps you too!
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
Great!!! Are you on orange uk?
[Flipout and Charm General] Bartleby:
Im in Portugal and bought on ebay an orange Flipout since I thought it would be easy to unlock...

It wasn't but now it's unlocked and the girlfriend is very happy with it!

Hope this helps you!
[Flipout and Charm General] urielwed:
I tried that website (unlock-motorola dot com) but the 16 digit unlocking code they provided is not working. I just wasted my time and my money. I'm now in the process of asking for a refund but they were asking for a video to be uploaded on Youtube as a proof. I don't have a problem with this. I don't actually have a youtube account so I registered first and then recorded the video. I was about to upload it when I realized that they were also asking that the IMEI be shown in the video which rings the alarm of potential risks especially from public viewers. I just sent them a message about the possibility of sending it to their secured email address instead.

By the way, the phone is locked to UK Orange network...
[Flipout and Charm General] Bartleby:
I'm sorry to hear that... Mine worked perfectly...

I'm also waiting for a refund for almost 2 weeks now from The Phone unlockers (theses guys sugested dropbox)....

Hope all works out for the best!
[Flipout and Charm General] urielwed:
It's a good thing that yours worked with no problems. I've been looking for 2 months now to have my flipout unlock but no luck. I'm just gonna wait until it's available in the market..

Good thing I got the refund..:)

Happy new year!!!
[Flipout and Charm General] onstom:
Good news, I ordered a code at unlock-motorola dot com and my code worked as well. When I entered the code the phone first showed "unsuccessful" but then it was unlocked and I was able to do calls and send sms. The code was a 16 digest code as well.
[Flipout and Charm General] skooor:
need help

hi,

i have some problem with my code, which contains letters and i have no idea to put it. when i press 'a' o or 'b' there is '2' on the screen and maybe that's the reason for not working. thanks a lot for anybody who knows what to do.

Unlock Motorola Flipout

I bought a Flipout on the Orange network before christmas and tried unsuccessfully to get it unlocked, with codes from 4 different providers, the codes cost about $15 each.

One of them was from www dot mobileunleash dot com.

I have to say i was very happy with the service because I went back to Chris and he offered a different service ($35) and had a code within 48 hours.
[Flipout and Charm General] Bartleby:
Unfortunatly codes with letters wont work. At least I was also unable to use a code with letters provided by an unlock site and the correct code was only numbers.
[Flipout and Charm General] benjohns:
There is no technical expertise required to use the MOTOROLA Unlocking Code.

Once the MOTOROLA Unlock Code is received, just follow the in step instructions .

In just a few minutes and in seven simple steps you would be able to unlock your MOTOROLA .

You yourself will enter the unlock code in your phone with the help of your touchpad or keypad as per our exact steps

indicated , it's so easy that even a child can follow the simple instructions, the MOTOROLA will be ready for use with

any GSM Sim card worldwide. Inside the e-mail there are instructions that what to press on your MOTOROLA phone to get it

unlocked along with your specific unlock code. The phone will never re-lock itself even if you update your Operating System

or if you switch between different network providers

No one provide you free unlock code. If anyone provides some codes and that code does not work then your phone

will permanently locked.

Codes generate from server based on your IMEI so nobody will give you free.

There can be many ways to get your unlock code. If your contract period is complete you can ask your cellular

operator for the unlock code. But, they do make it very difficult for you to get the code.

You can also visit Unlockgenie.com and can see different options there to get unlock code for a price.

Choose any price appropriate for you.

Hope this helps Betr...

First of all, needed a video, they say money back 100% guarantee and that is bull****. They try everything ti keep your money.
[Flipout and Charm General] Global Unlock:
Hi M Santos,

Sorry to hear your experience with us at Global Unlock was not smooth. Anyone who has been unlocking phones for sometime, know its not a cookie cutter always working solution, a % of phones dont work (read all over this forum for people looking for solutions). We did get you a code in an hour as promised, yes there was a issue with it. We do ask for video because are always working to make our process better and unlock issues less. So if we do have a customer like you who has a issue, we ask to see it. You were refunded smoothly without any issues, I believe it was less then 24 hours for the refund, so I am not sure why you think we tried to keep your money.

If you have any concerns or anything else, you are always welcome to contact us. We are backed my the BBB and have a 1 800 if that makes it easier and here to service you the best we can.

Cheers,

Mukul
