[Focus General] ddrizel:
Found the fix

here is the solution, I tried it and it WORKED perfectly: No more "guest" in Zune on my laptop!!!

I've been trying to sort out the same problem with my Samsung Focus for about 4 hours.

None of the things about registry settings or Zune database files fixed my issue. I even did a hard reset of my phone to try and get things working (not that big of a deal now that contacts are all pulled from my live account and pictures upload by default). No dice.

But the brief mention of remote drives above lead me to the solution. I do have a network drive, but it was connected just fine, so I didn't think anything of it.

But then I remembered that I used to have another hard drive in this machine way back when I first setup the Zune software, and I set my Pictures in the Zune software to come off that drive. It was V:\images, but without that hard drive in my computer now, there is no V: drive. The problem is that the Zune software seems to break in a rather unpredictable way when one of the paths for your collection libraries isn't valid. The larger problem is that from the Settings->Software->Collection screen, there's actually no indication that there are any problems. It's a silent failure occuring somewhere in the Zune software that leads to this nasty behavior of being stuck in Guest mode. Worse is that if you try to remove the offending entry, but don't add a new one, and just click OK back through the windows without looking too closely, the Zune software doesn't make any changes. If you don't provide a valid path to replace the invalid one that it had, it just leaves things as they were before you removed the bad entry.

So, I removed the entry that I knew was bad (even though the Zune software wasn't complaining about it), and added a new entry that I knew was good. I clicked OK back out through the windows, then clicked on that "change sync relationship" button again, and followed the steps, and BAM! No more guest relationship!

Just to test it out (because I am a tester after all) I "forgot" the device in the software, messed up my library locations again with a temporary mapped network drive, and replicated the bad behavior and the fix again.
[Focus General] wspaw:
Interesting

I can't believe this wasn't discovered/fixed after uninstalling and reinstalling the Zune software. The set up dialogue really should prompt you to set up these libraries...

I had many folders that no longer exist in my libraries when I set up my Focus and didn't have an issue. I should probably clean them up, though.
[Focus General] ddrizel:
Yeah i know its pretty annoying.
[Focus General] jpkemmerer:
Problem still exists with Focus S - fix worked perfectly

same problem syncing my new Focus S. Checked folders and default Podcast folder didn't exist. Changed and problem solved !

[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
Hi, I just upgraded my N97 to the G2 and got the HD7 free on black Friday.

I didn't have a data plan before, but when I look up my service it says I have 4g unlimited? I can't seem to find the service fee for it either.

I don't want to get a surprise at the end of the month and be hit with a $30 data plan.

Should I be worried?

The Rep told me the upgrade is only for the phone and does not affect the plan.

If I did get free 4G service then WOOT!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DJAeroX26:
highly doubt it. when you upgrade, they change your data rate plan to the required one for your device. you're most likely going to get charged for it
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
thanks,

My brother got the HD7 and he had the 5.99 tmobile web plan, does this mean he lost his tmobile web plan forever? We he don't plan on keeping the phone and plans to go back to his Milestone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dietotherhythm:
For tmobile I know that if you upgrade a phone to a "data service required" model, YOU WILL NOT NEED A DATA SERVICE TO USE IT. They pull that bs to get more money out of you on the upgrade offer. All you need is a sim card for the phones designated provider. I know this because I handle the phones in the family plan for my family and have seen nearly every situation and outcome. Every 2 years each of us has a phone we get an upgrade for that individual line. We do not take upgrades always in turn and in the past have bought these "data plan required" phones off craigslist or ebay. They still work. If you use the data without a plan you will get charged out the ass. Luckily you can restrict yourself from doing that just incase you can't remember not to. You will also not lose the web features that are registered to your sim card. If you have the edge package (the cheaper one) and stick your sim in another phone, that phone now becomes "edge" enabled. Same goes for 3G package unless you put it in a HSPA compatible phone, then you will have the HSPA capabilities. Kinda nice that they aren't charging a jacked up fee for their new data service, but my connection locally sucks for it anyways so go figure.

One other rule about tmobile that I like is that they grandfather you on certain things. For example, I pay a flat $55 monthly for unlimited minutes/texts/data and they no longer have this plan available but since I've had it for the last few years, I am an exception to any plans they have now and that makes me a happier camper.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
Thanks

so should I call the rep at the store back and tell him to remove the 4g unlimited?

I never had a data plan before the update, but my bro had the 5.99 plan.

or should i switch to a dumb phone and remove it myself?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] thedarkpassenger:
You will NOT be able to keep the phone if you want to cancel the data plan. Tmobile requires the data plan as a part of the deal on the upgrade. I have a hard time believing this wasn't made abundantly clear to you before you upgraded.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
That's what I heard, but I kept asking the Rep, Will the upgrade add or change anything to my current, plan and he kept saying no. And he assured me that the upgrade is only for the phone. He told me the Data plan is only for new subscribers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Ray as much as I would like to say woohooo for you, it is a well know problem with T-Mo Reps...They hay no clue what they are talking about! I would check your online account in the next few days, but you may not see it until your new billing cycle. These folks really suck at getting their fact straight!

Anyway, i hope that ou do get what you wanted, and keep us posted on the long term outcome.!
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
I find that no one ever knows what they are doing. I upgraded to the G2 and was very happy until the website said that another data plan was added to our contract for 30 a month. I've had a data plan for quite a while and it was 25 a month. When we called Tmo, they said I had to have that data plan on top of my old one to keep the phone. They were obviously mistaken but refused to do any of the leg work to get it fixed. I had to make calls to Best Buy and Tmo many times to make sure that it was fixed. Sorry for the rant, I just find it hard to believe that anyone has gone through this process smoothly when it has been a huge pain in the ass every time I have upgraded a phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
I checked online and i saw the $30 data plan. I knew it wasn't going to be free, but oh well.

Do you guys know if i could change it to the $15 data plan?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
I would recomend to anyone getting phones on contract.... buy the phone outright and all the plans become cheaper. Once gou have a contract you loose all your bargining chips. If i have a problem with my service i can call them up and say fix this or i cancel. They will quickly transfer me to a level whatever rep that has the power to change anything oon my plan to keep me happy. Just an fyi if you dont have the cash to buy the phone tmo has a plan that you pay them 20 a month till it paid off no interest. Even going that route monthly rate is still less then being on contract.
[G2 and Desire Z General] raduque:
Reps will generally tell you whatever they can to make a sale. The rep outright lied to you when he said it wouldn't require a data plan.you should've asked for it in writing.

All subsidized smartphones require a compatible data plan (except the Nokia Nuron) for the life of the contract.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
He didn't say I didn't need data, he just said he wouldn't add or change anything. He just never mentioned I will need a data plan.

looks like my bro won't be getting his 5.99 tzone plan back.

Does forcing us to get a data plan go under that net neutrality thing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] raduque:
Well, I guess he didn't really lie then... the computer did it automatically. :P

Seriously though, he probably assumed you already had a data plan due to having an N97 smartphone.

Not a chance. It's a term stipulated by the contract in order for you to get the discounted price. All spelled out in the terms and conditions paper you sign.
[G2 and Desire Z General] djsinco:
On the G2, you can just use the "My Account" app, "Plan and Services" tab - it will show you up to the minute info regarding your plan, details, and monthly costs. Nothing is free, but TMo is as close as you can get in the US.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ccabrl:
What happen is for some reason when upgrading 2 lines only the first one gets the "unlimited 4g" I ran into this problem a few days ago. The system doesn't automatically add the web on the second device(the "free" one) So the customer leaves the store with out the internet of the second device. Now unless he went into your account and changed the tzone package then you should be fine. But in the case that he did just call customer care and have them put the old feature on. They will be reluctant to do so and say that it doesnt exist anymore but they keep all of the plans in the system. Reps just dont like to go into the system and find the package. Hope this helps.

My phone freaked on me last week, on my way to Oregon for my grandfather's funeral. It locked up and would only bootloop.

Once I hit the hotel (luckily I brought my stand-alone GPS, knowing how bad my Vibrant can be, and luckily it had my hotel in the POI), I fired up XDA. I looked up Odin, watched the vid, and was up & running with stock JI6 in like 10 mins.

Super easy, and worked like a charm, even on a company laptop. I'd investigate what's wrong in your Odin useage (not to insinuate PEBKAC, just sayin' to find the cause), b/c it is a super-useful tool.

[Legend General] strophy:
Hi,

I live in China and got an already rooted legend from a super friendly little shop in the neighbourhood here, but it came with a horrendous goapk.com rom which severely locked down my ability to install anything from the market - instead, it tried to force me into this relatively useless Chinese goMarket thing. So, waiting patiently, I finally installed the MoDaCo custom ROM last week and everything is running sweetly.

Only now I find I actually miss a couple of the customisations the Chinese ROM had on it. In particular, the htc_cime was very useful to me because it supported handwriting input - the Google Pinyin IME is less useful to Chinese noobs like me who can't read the sound of the characters and need to input the handwriting.

I have had a http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7276627 rummage around these threads and found lots of htc_cime packages, none of which work on Legend under Froyo. Does anybody have a solution? The apk's that do install die immediately when I try to input text, and I don't know what to do with the zip files available on that site - I can extract them, but then it says "Application not installed" without any further help.

Cheers and thanks! Maybe the IME will turn up when 2.2 finally comes out for stock Legends, which will surely happen any minute now :D
[Legend General] strophy:
So, a few hundred reads and no replies. Seems like a difficult issue, and obviously not many people are interested in using Chinese handwriting. Should I post this on the development thread? Can anyone at least give some advice on how to install these .zip distribution packages? I know how to install a .apk using the file manager, is some other app necessary to install the .zips?
[Legend General] bullchicken:
I just downloaded the .zip file from your link and it had the .apk file inside it and another zip (?).

A zip file is a zip file, they are not android specific, have been around at least 20 years now, it is a compressed file, windows or whatever os you use should be able to open it no problems and then just extract/copy the apk inside to your phones sd card and install it, you also need to open the other zip file INSIDE the zip file (yay recursion) and extract/copy the folder to your sd card as well.

I didn't install it myself as I am still on éclair.
[Legend General] Rapier:
It may be that ZIP files are not Android specific, but to install one you should flash it with ROM Manager or from Clockworkmod Recovery. I don't know if extracting the zip and installing the .apk is working like that. The reason for doing this is mainly because some files cannot be written or replaced when phone is in normal use. From that link I saw it is a signed package (by the name) and it should be installed via ROM Manager or recovery
[Legend General] strophy:
Hi again,

I tried unzipping the .apk file and installing it, but also no luck. I am fairly sure the .apk installer references the "zi" folder ("zi" means character in Chinese), as that folder seems to contain a lot of files describing the metrics and probably recognition of each character as you write it. Still no luck though.

Using the ROM manager to install packages seems a bit like overkill though - if the Google IME can be installed as an apk without rebooting, surely any IME can be installed like that?

I might ask htc about this when the official 2.2 FOTA comes out, if I claim I had it before and it wasn't in the update they might just send me an .apk that will sort this out once and for all. No big hopes on that one though.

Cheers,

Leon
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Purple Drama Llama:
The LG Incite (a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone with a mere 128Mb of RAM & 528MHz processor) has seen pretty much no help from the XDA Community. Luckily, it has it's own website that has been a major contribution to developing and hacking the phone. Around Mid-September of last year, an Android project was started here: http://www.lg-incite.com/lg-incite-rom-dev/android-port/ By the member randomblame. He's worked hard with very little help for the past year and 2 months. Yet, through all his hard work we still don't have a working port for the incite. Now, to my (very unknowledgeable) understanding, he is having trouble with the frame buffer and display driver along with a couple other things. I'm here posting, asking for the help from the XDA Android development community because with a little help from a few more people, I know this project can be completed. Thanks!

hi guys, not sure if this is where to put this, but i wanted to say thanks to all the guys on this forum... I am a no body, not very good with anything over basic computer skills, same skills with my cell phone... Well i purchased a H2d 2 weeks ago, i really liked the phone stock, my wife got a moto. defy a few days ago and i really like that phone... well long story short, i have read for about 4 days straight.. i read so much and tonight i added android to my phone. There are issues, like robot calls and I'm having trouble doing a soft reboot, it locks.. I can power off and restart in WIN MO. I'm using darkstone HD2Froyo v1, stock 2.13 ROM, 2.10.50.26 radio... Tonight ill be reading more about changing the ROM, i might even try another build of android, this one seems like an early build, not sure but not as flashy as some Ive seen...

No, instead, you took the high road and READ FOR 4 DAYS STRAIGHT

Keep reading bro, your phone will keep getting cooler :D

As for the robot voice, I'm almost sure you know this since you did a bunch of reading and got Android running, but you did tap CLRCAD before tapping Haret right? Only reason I ask is because you have a good radio for Android ( X.XX.50.XX), so CLRCAD is the only other thing I can think of offhand.

If that's not it, I'd try some other builds. There has to be one that will give you clear call audio

Blue and Redtopia are in my opinion THE best builds of Android available for the HD2. And the robot voice is not from your radio, but from your ROM being the stock 2.13...most builds, Froyostone and the 'topia builds excluded have that problem on the stock 2.13 ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reedpro:
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS AFTER THE NEXT PARAGRAPH

All my problems started when i downloaded an application that was supposed to turn off the lock screen on my phone. After restarting the phone i realized that withour the lock screen it cant start. And so my journey began. As most posts are about the i9000 not the i9000m, it was incredibly difficult to figure out how to do a hard reset, which sucked. After that i figured, hey, why not update to 2.2? I did, using a rom called macnut r12. It didnt work, it would not let me use my sim card for 3g, calling or texting. I tried to reset my phone and it wouldnt work. So what i did was...

I tried to put 2.1 back on my phone, and ended up putting the i9000 version on, not the i9000m version. It's not that bad, except its missing a page of stock applications, wont let me use my 3g for some reason, and i just dont trust it. Does anybody know how to help me? I realize that if i send it in they will probably remove my warrenty and ill be double f***ed.

I used ordin3 v10 btw, so i could fix it with a pit, pda, and phone file.

*edit*

i might have found the solution! when i origionally flashed it i made a recovery using clockworkmods free app. Im going to install it and try to recover!
