I have the same problem too on 2 Venue Pro's that I have! I tried changing my router encryption settings to WEP, WPA, WPA2, Mixed(does all 3), and none of the settings worked. The only way is with no encryption. And on top of that, there is no way to touch any wi-fi settings other then just selecting the access point and giving it a password:( I really hope this can be resolved via an update and its not because of a bad phone!
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Do you have MAC address filtering enabled perhaps?
[Venue Pro General] dacunto:
frustrated

No I don't have MAC filtering on my wifi network. just the normal WPA/WPA2. My wife's HD7 comes in the mail today and if she doesn't have an issue with it, I may go back to the Microsoft store here in Denver and do any exchange.

I am glad I am not the only one with issues here though. I will try calling Dell or the Microsoft store and see if they can offer any help
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
From reading various posts on other sites, it seems that it's definitely an issue with the DVP in general - everyone seems to be reporting that it won't connect to an secure network, only an open one. How Dell have managed to drop the ball this badly is beyond me. I've been waiting for this phone since it was announced, but with the lack of info, seeming lack of SD card slot now, and wifi that doesn't work to boot, I'm seriously thinking I'll just go for a different phone!
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
I'd be very surprised if the HD7 has any issues, got one for my wife at the weekend, and it took all of about a minute to get it up and running on my wireless network with WPA2 (and about 45 seconds of that was disabling mac address filtering to add it, and then re-enabling the filter!!).
[Venue Pro General] dacunto:
Damn, well looks like I am going to the HD7 unless I am offered a fix by Dell/Microsoft. I excused the 8GB memory because I have a larger zune and i hoped someone braver than I would take off some of the screws behind the batter cover and find a SD card slot (like the HD7). But i cant tolerate Wifi problems (cant leave my network unsecured).

Looks like I am heading to the Microsoft store after the UPS man comes with my wifes phone and doing an exchange for the HD7.
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
It's a real shame. Don't get me wrong, all new phones will haev teething problems, but the initial reports of the Dell really aren't good - a phone like this HAS to be spot on in terms of connectivity, that's the whole point of it. Otherwise they should call it a dumbphone.
[Venue Pro General] dacunto:
yep and I am noticing some cracking in the speaker, like its blown or something. Shame, i really was excited for this phone:(
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Guess they wont be ditching their blackberry's as soon as they thought if their employees cant get on their network.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
If some of you do go back to the Microsoft store, please tell me how well your exchange goes. My feeling is that since there are so few Venue Pros out there it might be hard to make an exchange at this time...

I'm hoping that since this phone will get all the support it needs since it's going to be widely adopted by business users.
[Venue Pro General] carlb007:
Hi,

ive had similair issues to this running on android in the past. The way around it for me was using one of these conversion tools like so:

corecoding.com/utilities/wep2hex.php (cant link as the forums wont allow it)

whilst thats for WEP and you said you were using WPA i assume theres a similair conversion tool of some sorts? Not saying its going to work by any means - just that my android phone needed the passphrase converting and entering in HEX in the past so may be worth researching before claiming wifi is totally broke on the dell :)

Carl.
[Venue Pro General] dacunto:
Thanks for the help, but the fact remains, we (I) shouldn't have to do any of these steps to fix the wifi. It should "just work"
[Venue Pro General] dacunto:
Dell not helpful

I called Dell customer service and they couldnt help my at all. I had to explain to three difference reps what a Venue Pro was :rolleyes:

Next step is the Microsoft store. I will update when I done there.........cant go till UPS comes to my house though.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
Shame to hear about the lack of Dell support. Maybe they'll know a bit more when they starting selling it themselves.
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
nope, no mac filtering. it should be pretty clean.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
Hopefully it's just a bad batch. Wifi and a crackly speaker would mean a no go for me as well. I really dont want the HD7, though.

I was planning to just use WP7 as a toy and stuff (until it matured more) at home and work with Wifi only. So it's possible I could just buy a Focus for that.

ok so its really only half bricked. it started after i flashed the 1.6ghz ROM...my data wouldnt kick in. a clean wipe and flash, i opened the market to begin my restore of apps and contacts, and when i tried to sign into google, it said "cant establish a reliable data connection" okokok dont panic, i wiped dalvik, and rebooted to no avail :( i turned 3g on and then off, no go. i tried signing in, and then opening the browser to kick the 3g into drive, and still no joy. i noticed that the upload arrow was the only one being colored in. i called sprint, and they had me do a master reset and STILL nothing. so in a last desperate attempt, i am trying to ODIN and it keeps getting stuck on factoryfs. i googled it and found a few threads involving it, but no real solutions (i rebooted and changed ports before even googling it)

im sorry if this is uninformative ive been working on it for 2 hours and my brain is numb so please if you have any ideas i beg you to share cause im starting to get worried

obliged
[Epic 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
ahhh im sorry i hit new thread in the wrong tab :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] suzook:
use odin from the vzw fascinate thread....just use the epic pit...I dont know why, but this happened to me also, but the odin for the fascinate with the pit for epic WILL work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
hi there i tried this and it didnt work, still stuck on factoryfs

im gunna take that as a hint it might be a bad download of the tar/pit? imma redownload and see what happens
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Try a full redownload of the tar. Make sure it's about 255MB or so.

Restart your PC, the phone and Odin. :P Put the phone into download mode, start Odin, and only THEN plug it into the PC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brian_hoffman:
I heard that sometimes removing your sdcard before odin may work.. may not do **** but worth a shot. I've had good luck with odin personally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
Okay, I had this happen to me last nite.....Depending on where you got your instructions from you might be putting the TAR file in the wrong section. Please make sure that you are putting that TAR file in the PDA box and not PHONE....I am assuming that around 35% or so it'll just stay at Factoryfs.rfs...Correct? This is probably why so check that out and also make sure that the only two boxes checked on the left are "auto-reboot and debug en"...you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Odin is a very technically retarded program, as it gives limited output as well as ridiculous requirements to get it working correctly. I have had it work flawlessly sometimes and not at all others, so keep at it and eventually it will work, just try every possible combination of settings you can think of and restart the phone/computer multiple times if things still seem to lock up. Hope you get it fixed, I've been there and it sucks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] difrent7:
I used Odin this morning with no issue at all. I battery pulled, and pulled out my sd and left it out until i got my phone back to factory settings. Also restarted my PC before trying running odin. Worked great for me hopefully will do the same for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You know I had this SAME EXACT problem! So im sure you wanna know what was up, well, try going to menu,sdcard: see if the sdcard is greyed out in unmount, and format. If so, re-insert your sdcard.. Hope that helps :-)

Oh BTW, if all your trying to do if go back to stock, all you need is the "MD5 tar file for DI18". Put that file in the PDA section, and over to the left there should be 2 boxes checked, 1 should be "reboot" and the ONLY other 1 should be checked is the "Debug" box! MAKE SURE that no other box is checked. Another thing, you can obtain the "DI18" MD5 tar file from the sticky wicky page....
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
Ok, check this out. I had the exact same issue. My phone freaked! Lemme ask this, did you phone have problems transferring large files (i.e. roms and such) when you would mount it before? Turns out with me, for whatever reason and I'm assuming software. It was an issue with my computer that screwed me. At least try this, get your laptop or any computer that you haven't used to mod or connect your epic to. Download the Samsung USB drivers to it and odin. I found that Odin3 v1.3 works the best. Here is the zip which has everything you'll need for odin h**p://rapidshare.com/files/429741564/Odin.zip . However you'll have to get the samsung drivers on your own. As soon as I used a computer that I had not used to previously mod my epic before, it worked flawlessly. Just get the phone into download mode. Wait til odin is on and then connect it. Only check debug. You should not need the pit file with this, only move the md5 file into pda. That was all I needed. I hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 3BeersKen:
Sounds like you've tried alot of the "standard" fixes. The only thing I don't see mentioned is the usb cable that you used. I've seen numerous posts where a cheap 3rd party cable would cause hangs during the ODIN transfers. Are you using the cable that came with the phone? If so, do you have another good quality cable to try?

Good Luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] igotsthemagicinme:
oh wow...all the responses! you guys have been amazingly helpful, ill be forever greatful.

good news! odin decided to work this morning, it was definatly a bad download (the .tar was like 5kb lol) and i got my phone up and running

bad news! still no data. i dont understand how an odin couldnt fix any possible software issues....is sprints 3g down, or is my radio shot??

i can still make calls and texts and receive them, but for the life of me cant sync my contacts and i have about a billion ppl calling my today (my day off :()

ahhhhhh
[Epic 4G Android Development] brian_hoffman:
I had that problem once, I think is was some stupid fix. I did a couple things.

1. I called sprint and they did a re-activation-- I dont recall that working right off

2. In the browser it asks for your phone number the first time

Http://vision.sprintpcs.com

Then it seemed to work.

After that I have had no problems, even after flashing new roms.

Strange huh.

I'm assuming I was affected by the network down-age too. But...

You guys are amazing! Really rose up to help me out, I can't believe how great it is to know if someones got a problem, ya'll help. Double thanks to the guy who PM'D me. I'm sure you guys will be glad to know I did indeed get ODIN to work, and my data eventuall came back (almost seems faster, too!). So...idk...group hug! Or something

Would it be wrong to hijack and ask some questions before this gets moved(feel free anytime, mods, and again, my apologies for that) ill just go ahead hehe

I'm looking for an aosp theme. I'm running baked snack, and its performing beautifully, but I don't like the water mark nor the general theme at all. I looked thru all 10 pages to no avail. Any suggestions? If there isn't, that'll be my contribution (meaning ill make one)

Blue led. It seems retarded its only used when the battery is full. Id prefer to have it in reverse...blue for notifications, and blue until its fully charged. Is this possible?

Four buttons in the notipanel. If they were customisable or something, or you could scroll and there was more, id like it...but it seems other han wifi, they chose the 4 shortcuts I use the least. Are these changeable or removable?

I asked this on a while back...about swapping the camera and power button. I find that when its changed in the .kl that when I turn the screen off it turns right back on...and if its off for a while, it lags when being turned on. Has anyone else tried this and suceeded? What was your method?

Thanks again guys!

Hey all,

I'm really liking the tile look of the new Windows 7 phones (see screenshot) and I found a bundle of png's I can use desktop visualizer to replicate but I'm wondering if anyone would be able to mod the app SMS Unread Count to fit the tile theme and display the unread count for Gmail, phone calls and texts (again, see screenshot). I know there's a thread on how to apply the unread count to png's, but I'm not a developer and it's completely over my head. If anyone's willing to help, I'd be incredibly grateful and more than happy to donate.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I'm about 100 % sure that's posted three or four times - Each in it's own Phone 7 Style thread.

You should really, really try using the search function.

Seriously.

I see that you're new; Did you read the !!!STOP BEFORE YOU POST!!! threads?

Or the rules even? You should have.

It's posted somewhere. Probably in the first post of the threads dedicated to Windows 7 styles.

EDIT: Here's one
[Android Themes] Tsjoklat:
Well, when I look at the screenshot it has the unread number inside the picture and not in the bubble above it. I have never seen SMS unread look like that either.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
On your SD card you have a folder called "data".

Inside that folder there's another one called "com.kankosmswidget" or something like that.

Just put the icons in that folder and choose Custom Icon when you add SMS Unread Count.
[Android Themes] cabello80:
ok i did that...but my icon is super small...how can i fix short of recompiling (dont know how to use apk manager, have tried numerous times)? tried resizing but its coming up the same size

thank you
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I currently have the 1st generation network extender in my home and to be honest, it pretty much sucks. After 6-7 customer support calls, tweaking the extender it just doesn't work well in"my home". Other people have reported they have good luck with theirs but not me... I stopped by my (great) local verizon store on a texting issue and commented on the issue. Long story short, they are upgrading me to the new extender that was just released for $0. This is the same store that swapped me out of my incredible for my facinate. I will pick it up wednesday and report back. The new one has nearly double the coverage (7500 sf) and supports data too. The specs look good and I am hoping it works like it should...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I'm hoping to move up from the 1st gen to the 2nd gen network extender soon. I tried to get a discount by trading in my old one, but no one I talked to at VZW seemed to want to go for that deal. However, I have recently started having issues with my network extender not wanting to work all the time, so maybe it's time to start calling in and complaining to try and get an upgrade.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
Mine somewhat acted the same way. Make calls so they can log the trouble shouting issues in their system then, hit another store or more until you find someone that will help you. It can be done!

From what I have been told... The swap can only be done from the stores as far as an upgrade and not from customer service over the phone. I learned this having my incredible swapped out for my facinate and now the extender! It helps not being confrontational and having a chip on your shoulder.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
My findings after one full day of use...

The 2nd gen is better. Maybe 15-20% if that much. Instead of having no signal 55-65% of the time I am at 25-35% no signal. Battery life has improved too. Call quality improved the most along with data. To better improve performance I am having my internet provider come out and move my D-Link wireless N modem from my office to my living room so the extender is more centrally located.

I have the worst inference in my house than anyone I know. I swear its built on an old indian burial ground or something. Your results could be allot better than mine...

I do want to add my incredible lost signal much less than my facinate. Fact is, the facinate does not have as good of a signal for what ever reason. I still like my facinate though...

Hi,

I'm having this weird thing: I just upgraded my SGS to froyo 2.2 , but i forgot to backup my contacts list. So, when i looked on my contacts list and it was empty and i had no one to blame but me...

However, after a while i noticed that most of my contact list is somewhere in my phonebook - i can see someone's details by typing his phone number. I can view his name and even his gmail account by clicking on the "add to contacts" option (that appears after you type numbers) but i can't see him in the contacts folder.

Maybe it basic and i'm missing something - i don't know, but it's really irritating...

I've tried everything i can think of: Some of that was to sync my gmail account (and facebook). I imprted every phone number from SD and SIM: But i still can't see my contacts numbers via "contacts" (only via "phone" by typing the phone numbers)

Anyone has an idea what is wrong? Or how to add the data that is out there in "phone" to "contacts"?

Thanks

[solved] (forgot to flash new kernel)

after working 6 straight hours on my girlfriends captivate trying to un brick it (succeed) i think its time for me to figure out whats up with my incredible

i have flashed redemptive rom on my phone, and i tried to flash many other roms over it a day after and they keep going into boot loop (i think because it just stays at the "htc incredible" screen). is their some trick to getting a new rom flashed over the stock rom? did i miss something on all the tutorials and XDA wikis? im stumped! any advice?

i have searched for the past day for the answer (kinda why i almost bricked my girlfriends captivate because it was doing the exact same thing) thats why i came here. this is my last resort
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Did you do a full wipe between flashes? You really shouldn't have to do anything special. Ill help you get through it. Oh is your inc an amoled or slcd screen. If its slcd you need an slcd enabled kernel. Do you have adb installed? If so are thaere any errors.

It can take up to 15min for a first boot. Adb will show you if every thng is going smoothly

If it doesn't boot after flashing a rom through recovery it is most likely the rom not flashing right for some reason, most likely an improperly finished download. Try downloading it again. Happened to me before on ruby rom.

i have an slcd screen and im running kings kernel #5 on my stock install. maby i need to flash the kernel again before first boot just in case the new rom changes the kernel

i have adb on my computer but i dont know how to do anything but the classic "adb shell" to remove bloat-ware and "adb Push" from working on my girls captivate

whats weird is it has done it on both my incredible and her captivate, but then again, ive done the flashing on both.

do i need to restore to stock before i install another after market rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
You most definatly will need to flash the kernel again. Every full rom flash will flash the kernel that comes with the rom.

No you will not need to return to stock. Just flash away just remember your kernel. Most roms for the inc have amoled as the default screen type in the rom kernel.
