[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3X:
Hey,

Updated my phone with the Nordic firmware when it came out and all was well.

today I tried to connect my phone to the laptop with the usb and the title error keeps coming up. I can't do anything pc related with the phone now. The phone LED comes on when plugged in but the menu doesn't show up on the phone.

I havn't changed anything vital... or at all. I factory reset the phone but that hasn't changed anything.

Any help on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The connector on your phone may be damaged, is there anyway you can take a good look at it and compare it with your friends? Try to jiggle the connector when your connecting, or hold it firmly with an angle to ensure connection on the pins.

Hi, so I'm a student learning Android app development and trying to modify the AOSP calendar to fit my needs so I downloaded the source code from git and made a project with 2.2 FroYo as the basis through Eclipse with ADT and all but I ran into a problem. So I run into:

android.provider.Calendar cannot be resolved into a variable

I did some research and found that the SDK apparently does not have the calendar code nor the database which is why I am running into these issues. So I learned from here jimblackler[dot]net/blog/?p=151 all that. He does have a solution except I have no idea what he is saying. He posted a bunch of code but I have no idea where that code is supposed to go in and I dont understand what he is trying to do with "content://calendar/calendars"

So I just decided to ignore the errors and obviously I couldn't compile it through eclipse so I made an unsigned apk and tried to install it unto the Emulator via ADB but as an unsigned apk it would not let me install it :( I tried to sign it by going through google's developer site but I am at lost again. I'm a noob to these things unfortunately.. :(

I was wondering if anybody could help me out and point me in a good direction, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

P.S. sorry if I was being vague about the google's developer site and source code site but as a newbie I can't post links properly

Hey there,

While still waiting for DHD to come out I decided to look for a solution that would sync my Sunbird calendar and my Android device without using Google as the middle man. Just when I thought that was not going to be possible (and was already beginning to set up a Google account) I found this:

MyPhoneExplorer:

fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php

According to the website, it has the following features:

Has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested to know if this program is a viable alternative to the Googly cloud...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dvhttn:
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync up my DHD locally, but with Outlook 2000. It works very well for that. Like you I'm not a fan of the *Googly cloud* ....

It seems that a) there aren't a lot of solutions for a local sync for Android, understandably, and b) there are more solutions for Outlook than TB. Even with my old Nokia it would sync fine with Outlook but TB support only came in recently. Then they c*cked that up and it wouldn't support the latest TB. At that point I gave up on TB and went back to Outlook. It does make life much simpler - at least for me and the requirements I have of it!

I'd give it a go. Oh, MPE also has a forum. Go take a browse and see what people are asking. That may make up your mind, or not ....

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] daniel81k:
I use(d) MyPhoneExplorer (MPE) for syncing contacts between my old SonyEricsson T610 and K850i. At my opinion, its a very good, extensive and reliable program with a good support. I contacted the autor of this program because of a problem with csv-contact im-/export and he was very endeavoured to solve it. This program is steadily improved, but i didn't use it for long time because it doesn't support my Windows Mobile phone (Xperia X1) (and no other Windows Mobile devices at all!). All the more i'm pleased that Android phones are now supported, because my next phone will get an Android phone (perhaps HTC Desire HD).

Because i haven't got an Android phone yet, i can't tell you how good MPE works with Android. But it would be my first place to go, if i'll get an Andoid phone because i'm using Mozilla Thunderbird too and no Google Mail!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] visor:
FWIW, I use SyncMate by Eltima Systems (http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html). The observant amongst you may have noticed the word 'Mac' in the URL, as this is a OSX program.

Currently, it synchronises using Google. However, version 3 is due shortly and that will allow for direct device sync.

I'm nothing to do with the developer - just a happy punter.

v

EDIT: I just noted the Thunderbird requirement. Not sure if v3 can handle that...sorry.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] nubicurio:
Thanks everyone for your feedback. How Ironic: Android devices are officially supported by HTC only on Microsoft OS...:rolleyes:

I'll give MPE a try first thing I get my DHD, which, according HTC Germany, will be dispatched to local retail stores between November 10th and 18th:)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] slash_1:
hi nubicurio

i tried it out and in the moment it works well, really well. so if i have in 2 weeks the same opinion, thats really great. i use thunderbird 3.1.6 german and the phone explorer 1.8.0. i also use the addins lightning, the lightning updater, the lightning button and the myphoneexplorer..

i will write in 2 or 3 weeks again... best greeeeez slash_1
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] daniel81k:
This sounds good! ;-) But honestly i didn't expect any other conclusion.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ageor:
I tried it today and so far it's the best tool I know for a direct sync.

I had some difficulty getting it to work but I finally successfully transferred Contacts and Calendar from my HTC Desire HD to Thunderbird 3.1.7 & Lightning 1.0b2 under Windows 7 Ultimate. Outlook Contacts were transferred better via Android than how Thunderbird imported them directly from Outlook!

I haven't tried Thunderbird to Android sync yet.

Thank a lot for the tip. Strongly Recommended!

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to get their hotmail to sync so that when you delete mail on the DHD it deletes it from your hotmail inbox? I've checked the box in the settings but the mail stays in the inbox (on web hotmail, not the DHD).

i've only got a hotmail and gmail account - the gmail works fine, btw - but it would be interesting to see if this is just my DHD/hotmail account, or if its happened to others with hotmail or any other mail service.
[Desire HD General] reelist:
anyone? :(
[Desire HD General] anoniem:
I've almost the same problem. If I delete mail on my phone then it will also be deleted on hotmail but if I mark mail as read on my phone, on hotmail it is still unread

Try this:

-go to mail,

-hit menu,

-tap more,

-then tap settings,

-then acc. settings,

-leave your email as it is (so tap on next)

Protocol: POP

Email: Your email

User name: Your email

Password: Your pass

POP-server: pop3.live.com

Security type (or something similar): SSL

Serverport: 995

Hit Next and check this:

User name: Your email

Password: Your password

SMTP-server: SMTP.live.com

Security type (or something similar): TLS

Serverport: 25

Hit next and check for any difference ;)

Temp. solution..
[Desire HD General] reelist:
no joy :(

its really quite frustrating to go through a few days of handling mail on my DHD only to have to repeat it all again in my inbox.
[Desire HD General] valanex:
I tried it out just now and it works for me. Did you check both "Sync deleted items from server" and "Delete mail on server" boxes?
[Desire HD General] reelist:
of course. this was the first thing i checked.
[Desire HD General] n13l6:
just download the original mail program. You can find the apk with google. HTC mail has a lot of exchange problems with hotmail(sadly, the standard mail program is a bit basic).
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
Same problem here too. I gave up trying to set up hotmail, so I just added it as an account in my gmail. Now my hotmail gets forwarded to my gmail, and I don't have to worry about checking two different apps. I'm actually glad I had the problem. Much easier now to keep track of emails.
[Desire HD General] wuufer001:
no luck on Anoniem's solution,

hope something can help with this issue,

*sigh*
[Desire HD General] legend786:
Thats worked for me..thanks :D
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
I'd go with that too. I have an account on university mail, another gmail and one company account, the most sensible thing to do is to get everything delivered to one place i.e gmail. A lot less effort that way :cool:
[Desire HD General] PDub11:
Change the days to sync to 1 day when using activesync and hotmail.
[Desire HD General] h.han:
App: Improved Email solved the problem

Hi guys, I have been using one app from marketplace called "Improved Email" (free) and it does good job in syncing hotmail account.

Hotmail does not support imap, so if you use pop3, when any email is deleted or marked as read/unread on you mobile, the change won't be reflected to the hotmail account accessed through webpage.

However, hotmail provides a solution by using exchange/activesync instead of imap. I have tried several apps including android/htc default one, "Improved Email" works the best but unfortunately it only display text based email instead of HTML version (this may be the restriction on hotmail exchange server).

How-To:

Start "Improved Email" app, put in your email address and password, select "MANUAL Setup" -> "Exchange".

Domain\Username: email address

Server: m.hotmail.com

check "User secure connection(SSL)"

then "Next"

Then, you should see "Account options" page where the checking frequency and others could be set.

"Next"

Then, define colour for this account

Last, give a name to this account.

Done!!

Now you should be able to see all your account folders, to delete emails, to make it read/unread, while the webpage one keeps updating.
[Desire HD General] Lord Box:
Didn't work
[Desire HD General] h.han:
You can try my solution, using "improved email" app. It works greatly and I just realise it is also the default email app on Nexus s.

[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Hey, i just got my dell venue pro today and was finally able to try out my app i created!

I added it to the market on the 15th of oct and it received poor reviews from the guys in the UK (not sure why).

Using it on the dell and it works great.

Anyway i was wondering if you guys could give it a try and give a review of what you thought.

My app is in the Health Fitness section and it is called My Workout.

Description:

It is a handy app that allows you to save your workout routines to an easy to access and easy to read schedule. My app also has a stopwatch and 1 rep max calculator.

It doesn't keep track of workouts, nor does it have any pre-loaded. This was created to allow gym savvy people (anyone who's worked out before) to digitally have their workout routine with them at the gym (i use my phone for music) to replace paper.

Video of app:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoqy0xYmNg

* BUGS/ FEATURES NOTICED SINCE USING ON REAL DEVICE***

1. The lock screen wipes out any in progress routine that you were entering. Same with stopwatch.. If you are running the stopwatch and the screen locks, the stopwatch will reset. ( will fix with new lock screen guidelines that were just released)

2. I need to make the return key allow for the exercise to be added to your list instead of always hitting the add button.

Discovered that new users to windows phone 7 are oblivious to pivot controls and they love hitting return to enter data. WILL fix the return bug, the pivot control is essential to the metro ui. Cant change that.

* End bugs/features**

If you guys find anything let me know!

Thanks,

Blake

do not mean to hijack this thread but does the venue pro have a sd card slot? if it does it will be the phone i get. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] XeNoMoRpH1030:

[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Nice app, wish I had it when I was in the gym.

It's simple and straight to the point. Good to keep up with your routines.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
Micro I just tested it in my HD7. Very nice app. I don't go to the Gym. (Too many posers there). Instead I ride my mountain bike and go swimming. Still your app will come in handy to many.

I've just written a brief review on Marketplace and given it 5 stars- user name jfsfoster.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ericc191:
Looks solid, I have two issues, but they're just aesthetic. The flexed arm doesn't really fit in too well with the default icons. I know, silly gripe, but it caught my eye. I'd try something more low key. Such as a round weight.

Remove the white border around Start/Stop and Reset and remove the speedometer graphic. It will fit better with the WP7 look.

These are just my opinions. The actual usefulness of it looks great and I will be downloading it once I find a Venue Pro.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
After having friends use the app for the first time (first time wp7 users as well)

The most common problems were:

1. Unable to figure out that the navigation is pivot.

2. Why hitting return doesn't add exercises to the list.

I cant do anything about #1

However i have made some significant changes to how the textbox entry is maintained and have fixed some major bugs:

Disabled the lock screen from enabling via phone idle (microsoft wont like that i bet..) - Had to do it, if you are half way entering data and you set the phone down for 30 seconds it locks and then guess what, NO MORE DATA, you have to start over if you haven't finished the routine.

Allowed for the return (enter) key to add exercises to the list.

fixed misc bugs.

Version 1.4 look for it in about 2 days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
what do you mean navigation is pivot? as in, how they have to slide left/right? people just have to get use to that with the phone, it's not your fault. if they owned the phone, after a couple of days use they would work it out and it would be natural.

what do you mean no more data? i thought the new guidelines said the app could stay alive even if the screen goes to stand by? can you write to isolated storage upon screen lock?
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Yes, you are right. People do need to get used to that but what's happening is that they download the app, attempt to use it for 2 min and then rate it 1 star and uninstall. I've noticed many apps getting poor ratings and they seem perfectly fine to me.

You are allowed to run in the background, however you cant have any timers running as per power saving guidelines. So that would mean that my stopwatch would have to be disabled.

I'd rather just disable the phone idle while using my app..

Also as for the data erasing, I write to isolated storage but not until the routine is at a specific point in the process. If you are say entering exercises and you have to go do something and set the phone down and it auto screen locks, the app re-sets and all that data you were entering gets cleared since it didnt get to the isolated storage save point yet.

that is fixed, it's just up to microsoft to see if it passes testing now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
Will download and test it, but can't report back for a few weeks. Can't go to the gym this week and next I'm out of the country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
App updated 11/10/2010

Added the ability for users to import exercises from previously entered routines. This saves time for those who do the same routine throughout the week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Thresher:
Aloha,

I searched a little and didn't find a thread that will compare using Gmail/Goolge on WP7 vs using Hotmail/Live.

I have 'heard' that Gmail/Exchange is not 100% working and that even when it is 100% working that it will simply not be as powerful as using Hotmail/Live.

Does anyone have examples of this? I will provide some as we go along over the next few days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Google works fine.

No lie, before my phone was unlocked I had it on with the o2 sim connected to wifi... it notified me of E-Mail before my Android HTC Desire did. (only by a few seconds but still :P )

Calendar isn't working too good, but that applies to both hotmail and Gmail (it will only sync default calendar).

So you gurus think that I can do a nandroid restore on a a replacement epic if I installed the same rom and kernel in it?

This way I dont have to go re-arranging my apps and all the customizing....

has anyone done it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
i havent done it, but my understanding is that should be fine. you wont even have to install the ROM since the nandroid backup/restore contains all of this. just install clockwork, throw the nandroid backup files in the correct dir on your SD and you should be good to go. someone might want to correct me if there is anything phone/hardware specific in a nandroid backup that could cause a problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I've done it on both my heros and a CDMA desire - youll be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shaundizzle:
yes this is definitely possible.

when you make a nandroid backup its saved onto your sd card in the "clockwork" folder.

if you have to turn in your sd card with your phone - idk if they make you or not ive never had to return a phone - you can easily move the folder to your computer and then put it on the new sd card.

PS: i see you want to switch to an evo - definitely dont restore anything from your epic sd card if you get an evo. thought id warn you just in case but you probably know that -
[Epic 4G Android Development] BBlunts456:
The only thing that's gonna **** up after restoring data is that the apps you have previously stored willed eat up the cache n memory this great dev has uninstalled. I need my apps n flashed my data, n it definitely slowed my cpu. But havin my tweaks back is all worth it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Buff McBigstuff:
I don't think you should. I'm pretty sure for EVOs nandroid backs up your wimax data too and if you restore you will restore your old keys onto your new phone. Idk if its the same for Epics and I'm not even sure that I'm right. Check with somebody who really knows. Just a warning.
