i wuz tryin to install a htc hero rom on my G1..and now all my phone does is go to the hero screen wit the alien..and then it freezes..then i tried to wipe everything in recovery mode and restore the lastest nandroid back up..but the sd card wont mount. now im stuck and i dont know what im supposed to do..help is needed asap asap..

what do i do?????
[Epic 4G General] mousiluck:
I don't think those are really errors or anything like that. If you don't have an sd-ext mounted then it wouldn't have a file or folder show up so it wouldn't be able to backup or restore it. Unless I'm wrong it's ok for that to happen

[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
I bought an HTC HD7 on launch. I also owned an HTC Desire (unlocked and unbranded which I've now given to Mum).

O2 has a 14 day return period. Anyway I decided I really like the Phone. Many people bang on about what Windows Phone doesn't yet have, instead of what it does. I could mention sublime push email, Office, Xbox Live, beautiful apps, very smooth, fast and accurate scrolling, tapping and pinch to zoom, tellme, the best osk ever on a mobile etc.

But for me as a big music fan who always watches video on my device the killer feature is Zune. The Zune sub is £8/month but you get access to millions of DRM's songs and 10 MPs to download or stream. The Zune software on the Phone is awesome and better than the iPod player on the iPhone is which was the gold standard.

But for me the stand out is the Zune PC software. It is so fast, beautiful and works really well. As a Jukebox it blows iTunes (the weak link for PC + iPhone customers) out of the water. I love the Zune client. Things like out of the box wireless sync of your media is science fiction to our Android and iPhone friends.

Suggestions for Microsoft:

1. Please support the avi container.

2. Please support the divx/xvid codec.

3. Please allow the saving of MP3s directly from IE.

4. Please add a podcast section to the Zune platform in the UK like the US.

5. Please expand the film collection and add a zunepass subscription option for films for say £10/month.

Even without certain functions that will arrive in 2011, Windows Phone is enough to make me forget the touchscreen fiasco that was Windows Mobile 6.x.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
100% agree. I have a Zune HD and love the overall Zune style and interface + the Zune Pass is an awesome deal that makes you discover new music.

Still have to wait here in the states for Sprint and the HTC 7 Pro...
[Windows Phone 7 General] chex13:
The zune HD interface is actually nicer. Now that you have access to zune proper, if you need a seperate media player you should totes get one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
That is what I am waiting for, I am not leaving Sprint to go to ATT.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I have to agree.

- Push email is absolutely fantastic,

- Internet Explorer and Pinch to Zoom really good

- Zune is a very nice experience, even if sometimes confusing (it synchronizes my new mp3s but not always delete the ones I deleted from the root folder).

I also agree that avi container as well as support for the divx/xvid codec notably must be implemented by MS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I agree with this Zune is so awesome. Back when I had a phone and an iPod I always wanted a Zune but it was too much of a hassle to import (bare in mind I was about 16 back then).

The interface is Amazing, coming from android, I just love the heavily graphical UI with the Artist's picture in the background. I know that Android's music player was piss poor (Sense did improve on it) but Zune makes it look like nothing. Zune pass is great (albeit similar to Spotify just cheaper, I like the fact that you "download" though) and the software itself is awesome.

I don't really use podcasts, nor do I care about avi movies (I've synced over an AVI movie through Zune, zune just converts them, this doesn't bother me) although I will offer 2 of my own suggestions:

1. We need background listening support, this is more centric to the OS rather than Zune itself but what I mean is that apps like Last.FM need to be able to "catch" what we're listening to and then scrobble them

2. Zune PC Software is the best media player I've ever used but like above, no scrobbling, please enable plugin support =]
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dazzla:
You can activate the Podcast section of the marketplace with a registry hack. Works perfectly:

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
By the way, did somebody in Europe find the Last.fm App.

In France, strangely, it's apparently not available on the market?! Weird.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
It's a great meadia player for Windows, but seriously, don't buy DRMed music....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
I agree. Zune paid downloads are MP3s with no watermarks. Unlike iTunes AAC with watermarks (and your iTunes account email address).

It is the subscription downloads which are DRM'd with Windows Media. The point is that you get 10 MP3 downloads which have no DRM a month and the unlimited subscription downloads are a bonus.

Its like having the biggest jukebox in your pocket on top of 10 MP3 tracks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
+1. I don't buy.

Seriously, I didn't imagine that DRM still existed... Really?

If you want to compete with something free, don't make it more complicated than the free thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomhierl:
So the 10 files you can keep are DRM free? That's nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
Of course. After the MSN Music and playsforsure fiasco Microsoft realise that if someone buys music to keep forver they want it in high quality 256kbps or 320kbps MP3s. That way they can continue to listen to them for years to come on any device.

Don't forget that Microsoft have many experiences of failure in the consumer world. But they keep coming back until they get it right.

That is why Eric Schmidt said that Microsoft/Bing were their only serious competition. Not Apple, Yahoo!, Facebook.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
It's only DRM'd if you download music using Zune Pass.

I assume the DRM is because if you stop paying the Zune Pass fee, you lose your downloaded music (which TBF is understandable, they can't give you unlimited downloads for only £7.99 a month).

Also, I downloaded Last.fm as soon as I got the device, in the UK here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
That's only in America, doesn't seem to apply in the UK. You don't get to keep any music once you stop paying the Zune Pass fee.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mshagg:
Yeah im happy with the interface, only problem is Zune refuses to install on any of my x64 operating systems. This means im forced to run it on my EEEPC, which with such low horsepower, is a very very poor experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Avis are good for working with uncompressed pre-production video, but its a legacy format outside of that.

Divx/xvid, yea. Zune works in tandem with WMP on Windows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Anyone having trouble installing Zune on a WinVP PC? I try to install the software but get an error message saying it won't install to C because access is denied. However, I re-downloaded the software and now it won't iniate the install. It unzips like it is going to install and then nothing happens.

EDIT- Figured it out. Simply created a "Zune" folder in programs of "C" and the software installed. Apparently the install process can't creat the Zune folder on C itself.

D'OH!

Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile-AP Settings -> Mobile Accesspoint
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insin:
I thought all Galaxy S phones has mobile AP already built in as standard.

Steps:

Head to settings > Wireless and network > Mobile AP settings

Once in this area, if you have wifi turned on already it will pop up with the following message 'Disconnect Wi-Fi for using Mobile AP'. Click yes.

Next, click the menu key and click settings. In the options that appear,

- tick 'Mobile AP'

- untick 'Hide my device'

- tick 'Tethering' (if you wanna use)

and use the connection password in that screen to connect or use your own.

This all works for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranck:
Exactly THAT is built in!!!!!!

A wireless AP!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsgroupmonkey:

[Solved] Possible to use I9000 as a wireless modem using wifi NOT 3g?

I was wondering if there is some way to have the Galaxy S allow a WIFI connection when wired to a computer as it does not seem to naturally allow this.

Asking because I've just moved an old desktop pc upstairs and too cheap to by wireless usb modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
lets try to understand you a bit more

so you want to share your SGS internet connection with another computer using WiFi

but you do not want it to use 3G for data.

Then how are you supposed to connect to the internet without a Conexion to the internet?

the USB dongle to RJ45 is not compatible with SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I think he wants this:

internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC

instead of standard tethering:

internet->mobile broadband->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobb2007:
I should have mentioned in the original post that I have a wireless router for all my internet connection needs. I was hoping to utilise the Galaxy S in connecting my old pc to my unlimited cable internet provider through wifi rather than to limited 500mb package through phone provider (3G).

So like zorxd said "internet->dsl/cable->rj45->wifi router->galaxy S->usb cable->old PC"

I take it this is deliberately restricted to force using provider, anyway around it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that scenario is possible

look for the pdanet app

it enables the USB tethering

but why not just put in a cheap $5 10/100/1000 nic or usb wireless to the old PC ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serikiito:
I agree with this. Might as well buy a usb wireless unless you're only using the internet on the old PC a few times per month or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobb2007:
The pdanet app looks to be perfect for what I need. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Allgamer.

"Samsung UK The roll out of Android 2.2 Froyo for Galaxy S has begun today, as some of you will have already seen. As previously stated the roll out will be completed in the UK by the end of November.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] I7redd:
Ahh.. that type of "flash junkie" haha. I thought you meant flashing roms. :D

Anyway, Air on Android is pure AS3 development, unlike the desktop version which could run Html or Javascript seamlessly...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Integrated_Runtime#JavaScript_frameworks

In fact, coming from Actionscript background, i was impressed enough with it's implementation to switch almost entirely to Javascript coding in the early versions of Adobe Air which were codenamed "Apollo".

So although the desktop version of AIR includes the WebKit HTML rendering engine, this is not supported in Air for Android. (i'm guessing the overhead of running webkit alongside AS3 engine was too heavy for general smartphone use)

However something called "StageWebView" appears to be supported, so i'll look into how that works.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] I7redd:
> how do you back an apk off flash?

Not quite sure i understand.

To "back out of flash" means pressing hardware back button. The game suspends, so when you go in again (pressing game icon) it continues where you were, but also plays smoother.

To back up an apk can use normal backup app like Titanium.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] I7redd:
Cool.

These XDA forums have developer sections, thou to me at least, they seems slanted towards rom development, not apps, so I thought i'd start off a topic about testing Air, and see how the response is.

If there are people who are also keen to develop using Air for Eclair, then i'm happy to help get them started, or organize a group project. Will see how it goes.

For myself, i'm using Flash Builder 4, so switching between Froyo or Eclair involves overcopying the respective SDKs in Flash Builder folder..

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.A

For Froyo we use latest build [09/30/10] ...but for Eclair we have to use the older SDK dated the same as the Eclair Runtime [06/03/10] that i attached on the first post. I've uploaded (18mb zip) the older "Eclair SDK" for those who want to try compiling something...
