[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I am trying to find the perfect bitrate to filesize ratio. The 768 bitrate single pass encoding gives very good quality when viewed on the Evo. I am going to try to test 640 single pass and 512 2-pass and see how the quality compares. I want to find the lowest bitrate that still looks good on the Evo(no pixelation or blurry images) in order to maximize the disc space. If I am going to be using my Evo for my pmp as well as my phone/internet device/part time game system, I need as much storage space as I can get.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtmike:
I tried to flash back to stock from running ji6 using odin. Phone was not rooted. For some reason it didn't work correctly. After many trials I was able to flash ji2 and get the phone working.

My problem now is I can no longer reach download mode the way I previously could. Use to be able to have the phone off, hold down both volume keys, and plug in the usb cord and it would enter download mode. Now the only way that it works is to hold down the down volume key and the power button while the usb is not plugged in. There is also a message that displays at the top of the download mode screen now, "KeyPressed, 164". I reflashed the stock firmware and still have these issues.

Anybody seen this message and know of a way to flash the phone so these problems are back to normal.

Is it possible to use wyse to stream audio to my phone? If not then maybe send files or.folders over to it so I can play my music from my phone then?

No one has any ideas? Or am I just the only person trying to use wyse for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
you mean the Wyse RDC client? prolly not ideal.

try something like subsonic for your audio stream...

use wyse to remote desktop into machine running RDC, VNC or the vmware console.

for sync'ing / xfering files i prefer

i have an htc raph800 touch and i cant get it to play .gif files can any one help me with this problem
[General Questions and Answers] RedRamage:
When you say it can't "play" the files, do you mean it can't open them? Or is this an animated GIF that isn't showing the animation?

If it's the first problem, what program are you using to try and see the GIF file?

If it's the second problem, a number of standard image viewing programs will not show animated GIFs. Trying opening it with a webbrowser.

Just a simple question.

By installing Toshiba english official rom, will the Language of the mobile + windows be changed to English entirely? because the one i'm about to buy is in French.

Please i need help right now.
[TG01 General] leeston2379:
You can change the language of a TG01 by flashing a new ROM. It will change all the language settings.

For information on how to flash a ROM look HERE. To flash a new language you may need to use the sddl+ method as the radio may differ from the original.

ROM flashing is safe IF done PROPERLY, Always make sure your battery is full, always make sure your battery is secure.

There is always the chance of a bad flash turning your phone into a brick. If you break it, it's down to you.

However i have flashed my TG01 well over 100 times and have never had a problem that the short pin method can't fix.

Happy flashing:)
[TG01 General] shad0wboss:
http://www.toshibamobile-europe.com/Default.aspx?tabid=583

will this change the language of my TG01? and how would sddl+ method work? or would it guide me throughout?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
This has been asked in a few different forums but I was hoping someone with some developing/coding knowledge may be able to help..

Is it possible to change the gmail account associated with the market on a phone WITHOUT doing a factory reset?

Hoping someone with knowledge of the OS may have a little more insight!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CenFlo:
Looks like the 1st account you set up cannot be removed without a reset, at least from what I've tried.

Even if you add a second Gmail account, you can remove the 2nd one, but not the 1st or primary account.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
I know that, I was thinking perhaps there is a file somewhere buried on the phone that contains this info that can be edited and pushed back onto the phone after you edit it, if you have root
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buenos:
you can not change the email w/o a factory reset.

doing that will let you change the email associated with the market/phone

(primary email account), but you will loose

all purchased market apps, there is currently no way to do that.

Google knows this is the case.....unless its changed when i checked 2 weeks ago
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Like I said, I know thats the standard answer, but the gmail account has to be stored in a file somewhere on the device, I thought maybe a dev knew where it was and/or how to edit/changes it without resetting....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Not necessarily. Could be stored in the cloud and linked to your device ID. Don't know for sure, but it's possible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Maybe, that's why I asked =)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Apps are tied to your account, not your device.

I don't believe there is a way to transfer account details between email address. This is something that would reside on google's end, not on your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teksu:
I dont believe this is at all what the OP was asking, he just wants to change his primary gmail account linked to his android without doing a wipe. i dont recall him asking about any "apps" other than the market itself

as far i know, this is not posible. i would recomend using an app like titanium backup to backup all your programs and then do a reset, and restore the apps.

good luck, i hope you find the answer your looking for
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
Why do you want to do this? If we know that, we might be able to offer an alternate solution.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
Some people use more than one gmail account, if you enter the wrong one in the setup process you are stuck unless you do a factory reset. I think that's why he's asking.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Uh...what do you think the link between the market and the gmail account is for?

"his gmail account linked to his android"?

You gmail account isn't linked to any physical device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
If you accidentally entered the wrong info during setup, just wipe and start over right away (it's not like you're going to lose anything).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
Some people don't realize this until they are into the setup a ways. It's a reasonable question, just don't think there is anyone out there that knows where that info would be. It has to be stored on the phone or a factory reset wouldn't fix it. Although i think this might be in the wrong forum :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Possibly, but I thought if ANYONE would know where it's stored it would be one of these devs who have gone through the whole filesystem... maybe one of them could jump in?!?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
It's on the device, but probably encrypted. Why do you want to find it so badly?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teksu:
:eek:

thats odd, i seem to have issues when trying to login to one gmail account from multiple android devices. after it is synced with one device, and i add it to another, the first device will not sync... :rolleyes:

I know any paid apps are linked to the gmail account used to purchase them. Nowhere has the OP said anything about apps, paid or otherwise. The question was simple;

Can I change my primary gmail address my phone is syncing with, and do it without doing a factory reset?

now others have for some reason been compelled to start telling the OP what he can and cant do with apps linked to the gmail account

thats like going to a mechanic and asking him what the sound your breaks are making means, and the mechanic saying "well if you drive into something your airbags are gonna go off"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
The OP won't tell us why this is so important. Backing everything up with Titanium Backup, wiping, setting up with the correct account, and then restoring would have taken less time than this thread has existed.

The only explanation I can think of is that the OP is trying to keep paid apps from the current account. There's no other reason to be going through all this hassle.

Following from this (completely reasonable) assumption, people feel compelled to inform the OP that this won't work, since the paid apps will be tied to the previous account. Google's new licensing system is going to make this even more difficult.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Market=apps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
But if you do drive into something, most times your airbags will deploy. I think the mechanic is making a valid point and merely trying to warn you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
Can this post really be derailed any more? He wants to change the default gmail address on his phone without doing a wipe. All the other posts about the market are irrelevent. Maybe there's a dev out there that will see this and know something. Please stop derailing threads with random comments about crap that isn't even part of the question. Reading comprehension and critical thinking are a lost art.

It really doesn't matter why he wants to do this. The question is simple enough to understand.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Again, this has been addressed. If you want to talk about reading comprehension, maybe you should go back to the OP, or even some of the responses. He states:

Notice the Market part? If all he wants to do is change the gmail associated with his contacts, just go to Settings, Accounts and sync, click his gmail, chose delete, then add a different one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
He wants to change the Google Account associated with the Market. Stop calling it a Gmail Account.. it's a Google Account. Maybe this is why you're confused.

It is important to know exactly what the OP is trying to accomplish if we are to help. As far as we all know, what the OP is asking isn't possible. If it were possible, it would sure make pirating paid apps easy; switch Market account to one with tons of paid apps, install said apps, switch back to your account. Or don't switch back, whatever.

So since this can't be done, we'd like to know what the OP is trying to accomplish exactly, so we can suggest alternate solutions.

Since the OP hasn't responded to requests for motives, I'm going to assume they want to pirate apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm going to assume the OP is stealing someone's identity.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
Like i said, critical thinking. Here's where critical thinking got me...he has two "google accounts" (which are gmail accounts) on his phone. The primary one is wrong and wants to switch it to the second account without having to do a wipe. Stated clearly enough now? cmon people.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Very good! =)

I want to change the DEFAULT GMAIL ACCOUNT WHICH IS TIED TO THE MARKET, without doing a factory reset.

Nothing to do with apps, piracy or identity theft.

I UNDERSTAND that apps are tied to each account. I UNDERSTAND I could use Titanium to back my apps up. That doesn't help accomplish what I originally asked for.

So if someone can actually ANSWER my question, feel free :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
I already did: it can't be done. Stop asking.

Then do it.

Set up your phone correctly next time.

End of thread.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
So you know 100% that the gmail account isnt in a file somewhere in the filesystem?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
I did a little Googling for you: this might do what you want, but it doesn't involve editing a file (you still have to wipe all the Google account info). But it's not a full factory reset per se.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
ive tried that, being from 2009 i think its an old version of the OS because theres nothing called google mail/gmail to clear the cache.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
Maybe Accounts & sync, select your Google account and then hit the Remove account button. Then go through the different Google apps in Manage Applications (in the "All" tab) and clear their data and cache.

Afterwards, go back into Accounts and sync and hit Add account to begin adding the correct Market account. This will swap your default Google account to the Market one. You can then add the other Google account as a secondary using the same process (I believe).

Make a nandroid first of course; I have no idea what kind of mess this might make.

Sorry about the snippy responses earlier; dinner has mellowed me out :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnage9270:
It does not allow you to do this. It actually comes up with a message that says you have to reset to factory defaults to remove or change this account. Gonna have to be some kind of file edit. I have a feeling that info is going to be pretty well secured though. Would take someone with some extensive development exp to find and write something to replace it. I have a feeling as infrequent as something like this would happen, just not worth a dev's time to figure out. Unfortunately. Hopefully there's a bored dev out there :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:

Hopefully you find a way to "hack" the setup account without a reset.

Or, a developer will come along and tell you the exact same thing that I, and plenty of others have been telling you for four (4) pages now.

It's done for a reason (security) and I won't elaborate as to why, but I'm sure you can now figure it out.

Best of luck.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] token419:
In clockwork recovery you can wipe data/dalvik and this will cause you to have to go through initial setup again.

you could also try just deleting everything in data/data - this will clear ALL your settings. you could try just deleting some things in /data/data like com.android.* etc. until you find the one that holds market settings.

Make a nandroid first, but all user data is stored in /data/

all factory reset does is wipes /data completely
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
AWESOME INFO (if true :)) - Thanks for the contribution, ill check it out asap. I appreciate it boss.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Again, the link between your gmail account and the market lives on google's servers, not on your phone. The data stored on your phone is just copies of their info.

If you somehow manage to switch the info residing on your phone, don't expect that hack to move up to google's cloud(where the REAL link between your account and your market info reside).

Googles applications work in unison, there are certain apps you can't remove independently (gmail/gtalk/gtalkservices/etc). The market applications pulls the identify of account number 1 from the service you used to sign in. If you change ID of account 1, then the market checks back with their servers(not data on your phone) for information from the identify of account 1 to serve you the appropriate data.

You'd probably have more luck asking google directly through support to swap your market data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToyTank:
What would happen if you just reflashed GAPPS with out a wipe? Would that "reset" the google experience setup?

Are you rooted?

If you have Rom Manager, just do a back up and try it.

If you use titianium backup(Donate version), you could do a factory reset, and restore everything easy peasy.

What EXACTLY is you end here? You want a different Primary Gmail account w/o factory reset? Why not factory reset, restore everything? I don't see how the ends are any different. Either there is some component you are not sharing, or you are just being stubborn about the means to an end. Traditionally paid apps are the bugger, but you stated that was not the case.

I tried that.

It failed.

Do you want to know what it did? I'll tell you. I backed up everything before wiping (on my old g acct). wiped, set up phone (with new acct)... and then restored with titanium backup(donate ver). And what do you think happened? IT RESTORED THE OLD GMAIL ACCT as the primary... so that forced me to have to re-wipe the phone, and install each app one by one from titanium so that it wouldnt overwrite the primary again.... so I know some where on the phone it stores which account is the "primary" and can be changed. Titanium backup changed it..........
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes as part of the gapp information.

Learn to use titanium backup and you'll be able to sideload all your apps into your new account. Then just run market doctor throughout titanium.
