about to mod an HTC dream,

copied fastboot executable in root to /bin using Ubuntu linux 9.10 following various tutorials,

fastboot works, but does not reveal any devices when I run fastboot devices in terminal, it just returns to prompt, no error codes

when I plug in the phone, it does not change from fastboot to fastboot usb like some tutorials suggest it might, something is not connecting but I am not sure what it is, troubleshooting suggestions welcome

Was mucking around and noticed in the bootloader there is an option that I haven't noticed in other bootloaders. 'Factory Reset'. Is this a standard reset or does that completely reinstall the stock rom? It would be amazing if HTC has included a complete reset in this newest bootloader.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything in this. I have an hd2 where the end key and the volume up keys do not work. In wm I just use AEplus and remap the windows key to be the end key. But in Android I just want to make the long press Windows key to be the sleep button, since I need the Windows key as a menu button in Android I want to make long-press windows key to be the sleep wake button. And something with the volume up key but ky doesn't matter as much as the end key... please tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi,

since my Blackstone was stolen some days ago :( i own a HD2 Leo now.

But the digital compass does not seem to work.

It stays at 6076° N for about 2 seconds, switches to 101° E for like 0.5 seconds and goes back to 6076° N. I did like a hundred eight figures as demonstrated in the youtube Video by the iPhone-Guy... no results. I'm using Artemis v36 atm, did not test it with the stock rom unfortunately. Could it be a hardware failure?

Thanks for any hints...

Ive got my EVo setup with Exchange server, but it appears some contatcs I add are on phone, has anyone figured how to copy them from Phone to Exchange address book?
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
For future ones when you go to add a contact, it has a drop down that says contact type. Select Exchange.

For past ones in contacts select menu export to sdcard, select phone and it will say export /sdcard/pcsc_pcsc_000001.vcf. Then you can select import and select exchange and it will import your phone contacts into exchange.
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
Thanks, I have about 1,000 plus entries in my address book, how do I search what is only only on phone and not exchange, I mistakenly added some to phone and only find out when I search desktop and cant find a contact I knew I had, is there a simple way to search all phone so I can export as above?

thanks
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
Thanks, is there an easier way?

Whenever I got cards by mms, they by default get saved to phone, no option to save to exchange
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
No takers?
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
For contacts already added without realising this problem how do i find which ones on the phone, any search tip short of looking at all entries?
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
Ive switched to a MyTouch 4G, much better phone, btu have the same problem, in fact worse, because now, when I save contacts from text messages received qas VCARDS, there is only an aoption to default save them as TMOBILE contacts, some 4 contacts got saved to my GOOGLE account, all this would be fine if I didnt have an exchange server, is there an easy way to search which contacts on phone are in which store and move them?

How do I change the default storage place?
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
not sure if you have this option in the mytouch, but just go to menu in the people app, then select view, then clear all checkmarks except phone then it will only show contacts listed in "phone"
[EVO 4G General] Docsboard:
Thanks, that's a step, I now need to figure how to copy the phones to exchange server and delete from Tmobile, phone, SIM & Google.

Do you know how to select a default store? Part of the problem might be Touchdown being inadequate on handling address book
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
To get them to exchange, just go to the people app, then menu import from sd card and make sure you tell it to put them into exchange. Then when you build a contact you will have the option to choose where to save it. Easiest way to delete from google is to go to gmail, contacts, then delete them from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novaIS350:
I just updated to JI6 Froyo (Cognition) and now I am unable to connect to my corporate email account. I get a warning message that states my phone does not support security policies. Not sure what's changed from the 2.1 to 2.2, but I do know my Corporate email does indeed work with 2.1 eclair. One thing to note is that my corporate email requires a 4 digit lock pin, perhaps this is whats causing the issue?

Can anyone provide any insight into what changes were made to the email client in 2.2 Froyo, and why exchange email is no longer supported (in this particular instance)?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty new to Android (Blackberry and WinMO power user). I'm assuming I would need to remove the client via ADB commands? I feel like its probably better just to wait for CM6.1 to get ported to the captivate.

Have you tried beta 5.5? I just installed and it has a new email client. It has fixed the forward/reply issues for me. May solve your issues too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id10terrordfw:
Eclair never really supported security policies. Froyo does. You should set the PIN then readd the account and it should start working.

Or just break down and get touchdown. So much better than the stock client. Especially from an enterprise exchange admin point of view.

[HTC Aria General] taliesin1077:
I have liberated aria, app2sd (cooked into liberated r12), and my sd card reports as damaged. I've resigned myself to format this card, but it keeps reporting as damaged whether I format using Android or Clockwork.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puretone:
Is this possible?

I messed up, used tab-complete too quickly & didn't realize I was flashing a JI6 Lockscreen on my stock ROM. High-five me I'm "soft" bricked.

The phone will turn on, make the gay as hell TMO startup sound and just sit there @ Vibrant screen.

I was wondering if there is a way to just flash the OS area instead of wiping the whole dang thing. I took a whole truckload of pics and have a pile of notes I would like to get off the device.

I had it Clockwork'ed but I can't seem to get to it when I hit "Update packages", I managed to ADB pull one file but I don't see any of the other files I have created.

Soooooooooooooo...in short, is there a way to only flash the OS and not mess with the user-data that is already on the phone? I assume that the user-land data is stored in /sdcard, correct? Is there a way to not wipe the user-land area/partition at all?

I searched all over the Vibrant Q/A thread an multiple other threads already too.

No, I can not use superuser mode, it says no permission, neither can I use mount/unmount, same reason, no permissions...

I started today trying to format my 2.1 rooted over to 2.2 and at some point in time have just trashed my phone. Then completely wiped/factory reset my phone. So I am sitting here and every 5 minutes or so the phone will just pop up the HTC quietly brilliant screen and it is insanely slow and barely loads anything. What can I do to just start over fresh?

It also tells me I have no service and I cant make a call to any # at all or even attempt to. So something is obviously up with the radio.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
so you are rooted, right? You can get into recovery? Did you make a nandroid?
[Droid Incredible General] douger1957:
My guess the answer would be "no."

Download one of the stable ROMs...Virtuous or Skyraider will work...reboot into recovery...wipe and reset everything, including the Dalvik cache and battery stats, then load the ROM.

When you get that ROM set up the way you like, boot into recovery and DO A FRIGGIN' NANDROID BACKUP.

The next time you want to **** with your phone, REBOOT INTO RECOVERY AND DO A FRIGGIN' NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!

So long as you can reboot into recovery, a Nandroid backup will take your phone back to the state it was when you did that backup.

first fo all, i would like to know the adb code to uninstall overclock widget because i dont have enough time in the rom to uninstall it (very slow at bootup). then, could somebody please tell me how to keep my phone on for more than half a minute?????? thanks

[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Interesting.....

Seems pretty bogus to me that they're unique to WP7 mechanically. Maybe just the file system is special? Should allow upgrading/replacing I would think.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/sd-cards-and-my-phone.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
yes you could but would have to re-flash your rom.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Source? All we have is rumors but the MS page implies that it's not that easy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
I figure you might get a chance to swap the card properly before first boot, i.e. right after unboxing.

--edit: On the other hand, might these be those new SD cards with additional contacts to allow very highspeed IO. (new UHS-I standard)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
yes they are so if you get your hands on one then you are correct before boot 1st time or if you reflash your phone. i read it on a few blogs awhile back will have to find it again and repost it here...
[Windows Phone 7 General] julienrl:
The cards themselves might not be that special other than having a correct SN range or something. The Barnes and Noble NOOK which runs android does this. The main on board memory is a microsd card that you can actually pull if you rip your nook apart, but it wont accept other microsd's even if they were cloned from the original card.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Interesting. Thanks. I guess the difference here is that WP7 is made by a bunch of different people so it would be harder to code in this sort of restriction.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
I have a request.

ANYONE who is lucky enogh to get their hands on a WP7 device. If possible, check if there is a memory card uner the battery.

I do not understand what the **** MS is doing. Currently there's only one phone on the market with more than 8GB storage, and this will be rare, hard to get because I don't think I'm the only one that want one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wandy_1974:
Blame it on the hardware vendor. MS state that the min is 8GB, so they all quickly built phones with 8GB naturally. There's no stopping them from building a 16 or 32GB. They should have figured out we'd spend a few more dollars to get those extra storage
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
This is true, I am in love with what Microsoft have made, but they have been let down badly by the hardware manufacturers. I really hope there is options for more storage ie like the iphone when they go on sale and the 8gb models where just used for showing of the handsets. One bit of hope for this is that the storage capacity is not shown on the wp7 websites handset specs. I would kill for a 16/32gb mozart or omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
I want 16GB min but hoping to have the option for 32GB +. Hope they wake up soon as I love the look of winm7.;)

But without better storage, I will not be upgrading anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, since this isn't surprising anyone then I think MS could have expected it. And I will still blame them because they didn't make 16GB the minimum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
the SAMSUNG FOCUS is currently the only phone that will allow for upgrading the storage you can simply insert your 32 gb sd card before youfirst start you phone on 40gb it is... or insert it at a later time and hard reset and you are good to go...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
i would thus jump on the focus but alas i live in england and so we get the rubbish. It seems they are holding all the good handsets for the USA (by good i mean with more than 8gb storage). This is a real kick in the balls as i was hoping i wouldn't need to replace my stolen zune hd as i was going to get a wp7 but it would seem this will actually still have to be the case.

Saying this i did have a little hope with "the device can be picked up in 8GB and 16GB capacities." from http://www.mobiletor.com/2010/10/12/samsung-makes-a-mark-with-new-omnia-7-smartphone/ though tbh i once again don't think this will be the case in the uk.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
16GB as a minimum sounds a little high. I am not sure who is really to blame for this storage fiasco, but how can they expect the multimedia users to work with only 8GB storage? And when I say they I mean phone makers and MS.

But an intriguing question would be why does one handset allow the removable storage to be upgraded and not the others?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lavike:
So my question is about the type/class SD card that we can use to upgrade the Focus. I can only find an SDXC USH-I 64GB card for over $300. If the phone is using some kind of Raid 0 storage implementation, does it require a memory card that costs almost 50% more than the phone will cost?

What kind of SD card will the Focus require?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
microsoft did say something about "high speed" cards but did not give what they were.. however the focus will only support up to 32gb not sure why..
[Windows Phone 7 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
there are multiple phones with more than 8GB of storage on the market

Several Nokia N series have 32GB of storage N97 and N900 for example and both have the ability to add up to 32GB more
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
This is ref wp7 so the n series do not count. In the UK the only choice for more than 8gb is the LG optimus but this is so ugly its not worth it. Though looking at the Samsung omnia7 spec sheet it would seem there is a 16gb version so hopefully this isn't just them adding double for the usa and sticking its middle finger up at the rest of us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
and this why making blanket statments sucks ass because they are always wrong....maybe some qualification like currently there are no WP7 devices with more than X amt of storage available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
According to both the launch event slide, and the AT&T specs, the HTC Surround will have 16gb of "built-in" memory.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrislynch:
MS is referring to Class 4 or greater MicroSD cards. Currently, there are two manufacturers of MicroSD cards with 32GB capacity: SanDisk and Kingston. SanDisk is only a Class 2 card (which means very slow throughput.) Kingston has a Class 4 MicroSD card (http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc_micro.asp), which should be shipping any day now. Kingston has it for $154.

I myself will be getting the Samsung Focus and the Kingston 32GB MicroSD card.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tachi91:
wait.... so if im right... the os itself is stored in nand while all the user stuff is saved on da memory card... so a factory reset would wat? format the card and restart the phone
[Windows Phone 7 General] Monty Burns:
Right lads..... calm down ... the futures bright, the futures SD cards!

Use your own SD card, I know I will!

Far from ideal but still very useable!

edit: and I didn't see the Dell Venue/Lightning on any posts - although I did only skim. This is being touted as two versions 8 and 16 gig although this would probably only be a diferent SD card of which I would be using my 32 anyway!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega2513:
Ok so here's a few things about the memory cards and the Focus. The phone does come with 8GB built in. There is no memory card under the battery. The slot of the SD card is by the battery, next the SIM card slot.

The SD card gets integrated in with the onboard memory during 1st boot or by hard reset. If removed, the SD card or phone will not work unless formatted, due to Microsoft writing some of the phone code onto the card. (Much like when you partition 2 hard drives together into one drive.)

This is incorrect. Lexus also manufactures MicroSD cards up to 32GB as well.

SanDisk has up to a Class 6 card and so does Kingston, although I though I saw a Class 10 as well. You can use any class of MicroSD card as long as it says SDHC on it. I got a Class 2, 4, and 6 that all work well on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aleki:
Well, tech progresses quite fast; I would certainly hope there have been improvements with capacity and speed in the past eight months ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Not sure why this is being discussed here. There is a much better thread that has a wealth of Focus-specific memory card discussion in the Focus general section.
