[Galaxy S I9000 General] yuval27:
I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.

However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.

How do I format my internal SD card?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seking:
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vito05:
You must have USB 2.0 version ,maybe you don't have it ?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yuval27:
I have USB 2.0 version.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yuval27:
The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TeeKay2000:
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yuval27:
It is all OK now :).

The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.

For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.

Hi

I have had a search through the forums and didn't seem to find what I was looking for.

Here is my problem:

I have trouble getting my phone connected with activesync when I connect it via the USB cable, when I plug the cable in it starts to charge the phone but nothing else happens.

It used to work.

I have tried on a Vistas as well with the same issue.

I have tried BT and gets connected to activesync.

I have tried the solution to remove the tick under settings, connections and USB2PC.

I have tried 2 or more cables.

I have tried hard resetting the phone.

I have tried removing the USB devices on my PC.

Any other suggestions?

Help much apreciated.
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Have you tried re-installing ActiveSync on your computer ? Are you using XP or Vista?

I "just" had the same problem on my XP. Even when attempting to reinstall it,

it would not connect. I couldn't remove the program either from the uninstaller.

Found this info: On your computer Click _ start - run - then type the following: fixapi - then hit enter.

Don't have a clue what it did but was able to install again and up and running.

I have a Vista also but have not needed it on that one so I don't know if it works on Vista. Hope this helps you, cause I know it was pissing me off when I couldn't get mine to work.

Good luck.

By the way, what phone are you using and also did you try to download the Activesync 4.5 from the net & install ?
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
hi brother..

thank you, but seems things dint really work...

m using htc wing..

tried reinstallin..

m using windows 7..

its still d same..

nd fixapi does not work on win7..

do u suggest i should downgrade 2 xp?

d weirdest thing is though i can charge it on my laptop, it does not recognise my device.. der is no connect/disconnect jingle either!
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Ok, windows 7 is probably your problem. After XP, which activesync worked on, Vista was changed to Windows Mobile Device Center, which works very similar to activesync. I assume you've never had it working. Support ended with XP.

Windows 7 also uses Windows Mobile Device Center which should already be on your computer. If not check out this link out:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/65-downloads.aspx

If already installed on computer it should open by itself. if it doesn't, attempt to open it yourself. 1st sync you have to set it up, what to sync, media, pics,etc.

Should be pretty easy for you to fix this. Pay attention whether your using a Windows 7 - 32bit or 64bit system.

By the way, don't downgrade to XP. Defeats the purpose of having windows 7. There is an option to run XP on a windows 7 systems so you can run older programs on it but since I don't own a windows 7, yet, I'm not that knowledgeable about it. Just google - running xp on windows 7 and you should find a lot of information.
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
no success

yea.. i am already usin windowz mob device center..

i can sync using BT..

dats all..

ok, i tried connecting it to another laltop, dat haz xp installed..

still d same..
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Ok, your starting to lose me here. You can sync Win 7 with Bluetooth. Can you connect it with the USB conn ? What exactly are you trying to do ?

Activesync should work on your laptop, if it's installed. You trying to connect it with bluetooth or USB.

Is activesync "on" your phone ? Is the phone a stock T-Mobile or flashed ?

Again, activesync is "only" for XP.

What are you syncing on the computer ?
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
ok sir, here goes:

using Win 7 & win mobile device center.. can sync wid Bluetooth, not with USB..

it is a flashed phone since i am using it in India on another network..

the whole prob is dat my lap does not detect d phone!

d phone gets charged when connected 2 d usb, but der is no connect/disconnect jingle..

i hope dis clear enough..
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Ok, win 7 I can't help you with. Check your computer for Usb drivers !!! Maybe do a hard reset of the phone and start from scratch, after backing up what you want. If you can sync with bluetooth but not usb, it would almost have to be the something with the drivers or the phone.

As far as the laptop that's running XP, do as I suggested in above post - Start - Run - (type): fixmapi - enter. Then re-install activesync. Check usb drivers on the laptop. Re-download if necessary.

The fact that you cannot connect to either computer with usb suggests to me that it's probably the phone. Do a hard reset and retry.

Hope this helps, let me know ? Would definitely piss me off too.

By the way, if your using the same cable with both computers, switch it out for a different cable and then try to connect before hard resetting, might be the cable.
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
no success

tried everythin u said..

no success
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
You hard reset ? If so the only other suggestion would be to flash another rom. Question is, can you flash a rom over bluetooth ? Probably not.

start>settings>connections>usb to pc ?

I have nothing else, sorry.
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
:)

well..

tried all of this...

bt cant install a new rom..

dats d whole reason y i want d usb 2 work..

neway thank you sir..
[Wing, P4350 General] tanwaniniranjan:
ok!

ok..

anyway..

thank you sir!:)
[Wing, P4350 General] crz6662:
Sorry I couldn't be more help to you, maybe check the threads, might be an answer in there. Seems it would be something with the phone, I would think. Good luck.
[Fascinate General] Njzkrish:
Well turns out i was at a club last night. My Fascinate was stolen. We couldn't find the person as it was Halloween. Sucks right =\

Here's a twist to he story though. I call up verizonwireless. They say they cant do much but suspend it. The guy claims i have no insurance on the phone. So im thinking wtf? I've always had insurance on my smart phones. Turns out when i got the fascinate the rep canceled my insurance without asking. So now its 4 am and party bus is ready to depart from Atlantic City. My chance to find the phone or get a new one is gone.

6am came home slept and its 10:20am now. I call up verizon and get a nice rep. I explain to him what happened and he connects with me saying its happened to him before and puts the insurance back on and fixes it and sends me a new phone with a $89 deductible. Well atleast ill get another phone :|

Something i learned. Turns out if you lose your phone or its stolen, verizon can disable it completely. Even wifi wont work and if the person trys to activate it through verizon or sells and someone else does that. Verizon takes the phone and notifies me.

good side is i had most my stuff saved on my laptop. Only a few pictures of random girls who wanted to be in my phone i lost ;D

All in all. It sucks, my first stolen phone.
[Fascinate General] blazingwolf:
Sucks that you lost your phone. It's a good example on why you need a program like Lookout which can help track your phone so you can get it back. Lookout also has a feature to make the phone "scream" which could have been interesting for the thief. lol

Verizon is wrong about one thing though. WiFi will still work. Nothing they can do about that. Also, while it is blacklisted with Verizon now it can be ported to another provider like Cricket.

The positive here is that you got a good rep to get another phone for you. :)
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
yep, they cant disable wifi and its only disabled on vzn's network. it will end up on CL or ebay as a "bad esn phone" in the next couple of days.
[Fascinate General] Njzkrish:
Funny update:

So i get a phone call from the club's security. They found the person who stole my phone passed out with phone next to him but contacted me today. (My phone has a giant android sticker on the case)
[Fascinate General] Damien Nite:
Solid twist of events!

Now here's the real question, how wasted at the club were you to lose your Fascinate? I mean we all party, but a $500 retail phone? Must have been wicked drunk!

Cheers on a being able to get it back, must be someone(thing) was looking out for you. What a great Halloween present!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Lol. Now make sure you get mobile defense or something similar on there...

Call them up and tell them you're a vodafone customer and they offered you the desire hd on £30 for free. ( dw lie if you're not on vodafone. i did...I'm on orange)

Choose the £20 contract...phone price is 240...haggle a little ...don't expect it to go below 150ish tho. Also don't be afraid to hang up if you don't get it...You can always call them again. Try another technique...say you called before and were offered that deal and you'll take up on it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itayron:
Hey, first of all these are the details of my phone:

Model number- HTC Hero

Firmware Version- 1.5

Baseband Version- 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

KERNERL VERSION- 2.6.27-430d1aea

Build Number- 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release keys

Software version- 1.0.0.A6288

PS- Orange UK.

------

Now the problem is I can't create an image. I saw a guide that says that for build #2.73 and up you can't create an image so i need to downgrade first and then create the image and upgrade. I tried to downgrade and couldn't. I did everything as intended and in the middle of the downgrade installation I get the phone out of sync with the computer so I get that "please connect the USB to the phone" error and my phone is just stuck with 3 greed androids and a few scentences, and would not respond until i remove battery and re-insert then it returns to the original firmware version that came with the phone. Please help me!! I've been messing with this for too long. Thanks

PS:The error I'm getting while creating the image is when i start Flashrec the bottom button is "Backup Recovery Image" instead of "Resore Backup Image" and when I insert the /sd/recovery.img in the address like i see the Flash Image button but it's blackened and cannot be pressed.

i did everything as noted, everything went OK until the emulator part. In the emulator you noted I cannot seem to get the keyboard to show. I downloaded 3 different emulators and when i type "SU" it says "bla bla has root permission" and then the whole emulator freezes until i see the "force close" prompt with either Wait or Force Close. Tried waiting, tried force closing, tried moving to the next flash_image recovery line... and then I get []erroroutput[usage: flash_image partition file.img
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvio2005:
First,you need maybie, to create a GoldCard. Use a 2gb. or 4 gb. sdcard ( no Kingston )for that. Search on internet " how to create a goldcard " for root your phone. Then, use flashrec and recovery image ( last versions ) and finally download and install a customRom. All you have need you find on internet, Good luck! Sorry for my english.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itayron:
hey

HEy

I already tried that. My SD is already a goldcard i followed some guide on the internet.. and still when i open flashrec and do everything as told and insert the address of the image on my sdcard i see "Flash Image" in an unavailable button .

Some people said that in new versions i might have to downgrade and then create the image and then upgrade..(?)
[Epic 4G General] ernestm:
I have Epic 4g on SPRINT USA. Not rooter, latest original firmware. I recently notice that if I get to no signal zone like subway, radio icon is crossed circle; I guess phone suspend radio and randomly check to preserve battery. Problem is that once I back to area with full signal it may take 5-10 minutes for phone to get radio back. If I attempt to make call it will say phone not registered on network. It will take me switch airplane mode on off to enforce registration on network sooner. As the result if I am located in no signal zone for an hour and have signal for 10 min and back to no signal it will not get my sms, voicemail and email during that time. Is that waiting time adjustable? Any idea?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
When I'm heading down into the subway, I put my phone on airplane mode because its pointless to have the radio on when there's no signal and it wastes more battery, then when I get out I wait a few seconds and then turn airplane mode off and it reconnects like nothing.

Just try turning I on when you're going in, and when you're outside again just turn airplane mode off
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
You could use Tasker for something like this easily. Its what its made for.
[Epic 4G General] ernestm:
No Radio / long time to register on network

But I do not want all time to manage my phone when I go to underground area or at no service area. I can use tasker, but should not it be handled by sprint? Also in tasker you expect me to use cell near and check it repeatedly once per 3min? Not much sense, as tasker will not see event when display off, it by default use to check once per 10 min, which is not good in this situation.

Any other solution? I do not expect all people using subway to turn on airline mode :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] swee08315:
I'm still on my G1, but my contracts about to be up! yay!

I was thinking about upgrading to the g2, but it worries me that there is currently no permanent root.

the first thing that comes to mind is that I don't actually ever shut off my g1, so I may theoretically never have to reboot my phone, especially since this one has a nice improvement over battery life.

I find the hinge snapping down to be a bit annoying, but not too bothersome.

and having tethering removed is a major bummer, I haven't checked to see if you guys fixed this or not, but I suppose pda net would still work?

any other issues I should know about?

My main worry is that if a permanent root is not found then development for this device will never progress.

I guess it all depends on how likely this device is to get a perma-root

I'd like a devs point of view as to how likely he thinks it's going to happen.

also: i suppose another option is to wait a bit longer before I buy
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
pda net works. hinges on my phone arent bad. phone was designed, so that the keyboard could slide out easily with one finger. battery is great, performance is great, camera is great videos/pics, and this is on stock rom. this is my 5th smart phone and its def. by far my favorite. i think i have enough phones to compare and im a heavy user. i provide network support @ a FBO airport, which means phones gets USED alot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swee08315:
that's great to know, thanks.

but I've just thought of something else:

of course it's probably a stupid question and T-mobile/HTC/Google(I can't tell if this is supposed to be a Google experience phone or not) probably already thought of this but theoretically: would the anti-root 'feature' prevent it from getting an OTA update for Gingerbread?

my main gripe with the phone is just the anti-root. I don't want to be locked into a phone for 2 years if it's software is going to become outdated
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rook12V:
HTCs lock of the phone will not have any impact on OTA updates, so still expect gingerbread to be pushed to the phone, and likely not very long after release. Hopefully the OTA update can be captured and hacked by the community to allow for full unlock if it hasn't happened by then.

There are enough people working on it Im sure it'll happen, just a matter of time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] grennis:
Even if you don't reboot, the phone will randomly lose root as the caches are flushed during normal usage.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Great NY:
mine has never lost root thus far without a reboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
you should buy a G2, in fact, you should buy mine! $400 no contract :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jmattp:
You should wait for November 8th when Samsung announces whatever they're announcing. It might be the Nexus 2. Google it, it sounds like an awesome device. It should be simple to root too. I might exchange mine for it if it comes out within 30 days (I'm in CA)

[G2 and Desire Z General] swee08315:
thanks for the heads up. I can wait for nov. 8th.

the g2 looks like it would be one of the best devices unless samsung does release a "nexus 2",
[G2 and Desire Z General] candre23:
I had a G1 for two years, then upgraded to the Vibrant a couple months ago. I got sick of the abysmal battery life and switched to the G2 a few weeks ago, and I am very glad I did. The root issue is a minor annoyance at worst. Having to run the temp root app after the occasional reboot is a small price to pay for all the other benefits of the G2.

Samsung just came out with the galaxy S series. They're not going to do another high end smartphone this soon. Wait a couple days if you want to be sure, but I have no problem recommending the G2 now.
