[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
well for paid apps even if you uninstall them, you can reinstall them later for free as they're tied to your windows live account. it's not like desktop software where you need a serial key, your windows live account is all thats needed as the purchases are kept on history. recently when i purchased an app, i was given an invoice a week later, and on there it also shows purchase history (including ones across xbox).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Brau0303:
Your Milage May Vary

I have found that this is true to a point, I have had the HTC Surround, the Samsung Focus and Have finalized on the HD7 (To me the best for my usage/preferences) and excluding carrier branded apps, the Zune software saved & reinstallled about 80% of my apps (this is a guestimate derived from using the three devices and not a hard number based on any formal testing) it seems that some apps like Acrobat reader and Google search had to be reinstalled manually (I have no idea why but they were not part of the auto re-install). Anyway these are my observations so far.

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 General] mskovrinskie:
Apps installed from Zune on the PC will automatically restore after a hardset. Apps installed from the marketplace directly on the phone will not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
I ended up having to swap my Surround for another Surround (broken camera button) and went through the same thing. It installed several of the programs I had, but I think it only did a few because the others I bought through the phone and never "synced" it again. That's my only guess anyway.

I'm glad once it's purchased, it is tied to the account!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cpimentel:
And what about the app's data? When Zune restores the apps, it restores the app data also? Like, saved levels of a game, etc?

Unfortunatly, this does no happen on ZuneHD. Only the apps are resintalled, but never the data.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
hopefully when we get the first update and Zune makes a backup, we can then do manual backups, or at least restores back to the last update.

I had a device where I conncected it in such a way that zune saw it and complained that there was no backup and the device would require a hard reset, or to get the rom from my maunfacturer or carrier, I don't remember the exact wording, but it did mention there were no backups to restore

i have a rooted aria with cm6 froyo 2.2, i'd to know if htc sync work on rooted phone????? cuz mine doesn't. everytime i open htc sync it just show "no device connected" even though i have all the drivers installed and have usb debug checked, please help. this seems to be a hard question cuz i asked so many places and htc sites but got no good answers.
[HTC Aria General] eljefe27:
HTC sync will only work HTC roms will not work with cm6
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
This has already been answered a couple times. HTC Sync will only work with HTC Roms and thus does NOT work with CM 6. Rooting has nothing to do with whether or not HTC Sync will work with your phone.

I am having the same problem all of a sudden
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnoot:
Mines functions properly now..all I did was give the speaker a few taps n it started back working
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrenicX:
I saw the Teardown photos of the G2 the other day.

After seeing those, it's clear why this happens. The speaker is basically one piece attached to the back plastic panel with simple contacts built into it. The mating contacts are soldered to the mainboard. When they assemble the phone the contacts just press together. So really it can be very susceptible to dust, drops, bumps, or even slight moisture.

I work in a semi dusty environment though, and I haven't had any issues with mine. But with winter here now I'm sure it will see a lot more moisture so I'm crossing my fingers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryvand:
I keep reading all these threads about the lag fix. Threads about people having lag. Well, I give up. I've had my vibrant since day one that Tmobile made them available, have installed JI6 update and the phone has always been super fast.

So.... can someone tell me what is this "lag" that everyone is talking about (in specific terms), and how can you tell you have it? Thanks in advance.

BTW, you don't have to tell me how to fix it as there are plenty of threads on that. I'm only asking how can you tell you have the lag problem in the first place. Does every vibrant that does not have a lag fix installed has a lag problem or are there some vibrants who don't have a lag problem while others do? Just confused on what exactly this lag problem is. Thanks guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pancake345:
If you own a vibrant you have 'lag' its because of the way Samsung designed their file systems. The lag fix changes your system files to a more efficient file system (ext4) I think.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larrisa12002:
How do you tell you have lag that you need fixed?

Briefly, it has to do with processor speed. Lag is supposed to be inherent in the Vibrant stock kernel. Download Quadrant Standard from Android Market. Run full benchmark. If the score is 800 to 900 you have lag. Any score above 900, there is no lag. It is not a problem if you are content with your phone having lag. If you want to speed it up, that is a lag fix. Saw this in the forums.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryvand:
Thanks on the info on Quadrant Standard. I just downloaded it and run it and it says 908. Guess that must be why I don't see the lag everyone is talking about.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Lag is the second (s) delay when opening apps. I have never been bothered by it, ever.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryvand:
If that's all there is then I fail to see what all the brouhaha is about. My apps open almost always instantaneously. 100s of times faster than I'm used to in Windows 7 opening its apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
+1

And installing lagfix makes things more complicated for me other though says it's an easy thing to do. but i didn't even bother to try it.

Hi all.

Mods, please move this thread to a more appropriate place if possible.

My name is Kevin, or aka DarkOnion. Many of you guys in the general Android community probably won't know me, but for those in the Droid X and Droid 2 community related the name DarkOnion to the scripts used to root the Droid 2 on Froyo and then the Droid X when 2.2 was made available. Anyways, that is not why I am here today. I just wanted to share an experiment that I am planning to start in the very near future.

It is kind of a social experiment of sorts. What I would like to do is send an Andy the Android plushy around and have people take pics of him doing cool things. Really anything you think would be cool. Trying to get the ball rolling. I got a website going, and I'll be setting up a blog in the near future to keep track of Andy's movements.

Please check out my blog and webpage for more info about how I want to do this. It'll be a lot of fun.

Just bought a "broken" Captivate on Craigslist. Phone gets stuck at AT&T boot screen but does not move. Previous owner said they had put a 2.2 rom on it and thats when it "broke."

I can get into recovery and download mode...

I get this error when I choose 'reinstall packages':

I did a few searches and everything is pointing to odin one click but I am running osx and cannot install BootCamp... Do I have ANY other options?

Thanks for your help!

[Android Software Development] z33dev33l:
Okay, first of all I have no idea what I'm talking about and I'm not entirely sure if we can do this (though I'm sure it's quite possible) but I see a lot of custom android screenies that are all about simplicity. I think it'd be cool if we had a launcher to accentuate that. Something resembling the zune interface mostly but with customizable text options for each application. Of course the basics will be listed regardless (phone, browser, messaging, applications, etc) but to add to your home screen maybe you hit the menu button and select add tile and from there it acts like desktop visualizer except text based only. Now I know I could get this on a windows mobile device (I currently use an HD2 dual-booting android and winmo, almost always android) but windows mobile just doesnt have the support and applications and regardless of how you look at it android is both today and the future. I'm a complete nub to coding, php, html, and sql are more my forte but if someone were to make something like this functional I certainly wouldnt mind paying for their beers for a couple weeks. So, opinions/suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 General] badhobz:
Hi there,

Since I upgraded to the new rogers firmware every time I press the power button to lock the phone, and then press the home key, the backlight would not turn off. This is getting to be a problem as I press the center key accidentally when in my pocket. Anybody else have this problem with their new firmware?
[XPERIA X10 General] ixemun:
Had the same problem but after I restart the phone it's fine now, give that a try, otherwise try to reflash again
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Yup, same problem here...

Silly thing is, I was having the opposite problem beforehand - the screen was turning off too quickly so that I'd get into the unlock pattern, and it would turn off before I'd finished... duh...??

Oh well, let's try a reboot!

[Vibrant General] YodaEXE:
Honestly, if you can't understand the instructions posted, you shouldn't be teeing to flash your phone. Not trying to be rude, it's just that if out can't follow these instructions and have a problem, you'll never be able to fix your phone.

it's especially hard when the person writing the tutorial assumes the reader knows something

Heck even I wasted 2 hours this morning trying to undo a soft brick when the istructions just said "stock vibrant rom" I spent hours flashing J16 until I found out he actually meant JFD

and you cant always get into download mode like the instructins say
