I managed to drop a glass container of baby food on my captivate, thus cracking my screen and making the phone unusable.... terrific!

I am looking to see if there is a way to force my phone to mount to my Mac so that I can backup then clear my internal sd card. I do not even know where to start. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexstarfire:
I'm not to sure about doing this on a mac, but if you have usb debugging turned on on your phone then you can use an adb like program to mount the sd card. If not.... Idk if it's even possible at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yeah you should always leave the phone in debugging mode just in case you need adb. the development kit is available for mac and adb is included. adb should work in recovery mode. it is one of the few top of the line andriod phones that is still debugging enabled in recovery mode.

adb is command line based so i hope you are comfortable with that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
I have been reading about broken power button issues all over the internet due to the ribbon cable connecting the board with the power button to the main circuit board.

Does anyone know, if HTC did anything to fix this issue at all on the SLCD version? Mine is working fine so far, but I am feeling paranoid about it every time I press the power button as I use this phone. Have had this phone for about 2 months.

Should I just use one of those trackball wake apps and avoid touching this button? Anyone know if when the phone is in the pocket the trackball will get pressed? As I don't want it to keep turning on and lose battery but i'd rather it did that than broke my power button.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
They didn't fix anything, my N1's power button got destroyed in two months and I have the SLCD version, went back to the store and got a swap...now I haven't used it for a month or so using trackball wake and sleep widget :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syl0n:
Thanks for the tip. I guess I will do the same as you and avoid this messy failure. As I had to import my N1 from overseas, it is unlikely I will get warranty easily without jumping through multiple hoops and long delays.

BTW what is the best app for trackball wake that doesn't require root?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
No clue to be honest, I'm using Cyanogen and it has both sleep and wake features integrated...

Heard about some widgets but forgot the names and dunno if they require root...maybe someone can help

So I want to start playing with things to see if i can get something working... reading says that there are several ways that might work... or might bjork the phone... but again reading says if i can get back to download mode... odin should be able to save me... IF I HAVE A BACK UP...

So... how do I make those back ups?...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferparedes:
AFAIK and from what I've read, there's no way of making a working flashable backup. All references I've read regarding Clockwork backups in relation to actually restoring your phone say that you need to flash your model's firmware first and then restore from the Clockwork backup. I have that same problem. No original FW leaked for my phone/carrier so I haven't risked flashing in anything except root access and OCLF.

Did you look in samfirmwareworld.com for your fw?

[Desire HD General] anoniem:
Hi all,

I heard a lot of people complain about the hard to (press power) buttons.

Logically is the main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.

So why not make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.

I think that should solve a lot of problems

Please share your opinions about this!
[Desire HD General] Smigit:
A capacitive power button would lead to people triggering it every time they put their hand in their pocket to get it if they so much as brush against it.

It's not that hard to press anyway.

edit: No to mention if you hold the phone in landscape mode the button would then rest against your palm, again triggering it.
[Desire HD General] override182:
a capacitive power button wont be enabled if u switched the device off.. how are you gonna start your phone then :P .. thats why its a physical button
[Desire HD General] Snake-Plissken:
i have no problem with the power button, i like it. was using a hd2 before and on this device the power button was the same like the [call end] button. and that drained my battery always. sometimes you sitting in a tight seat like on a airplaine and you alway acciedently hit the button or even by walking arround or if you have other stuff in your pocket.
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
It would have been nice if we could get an option to also use the volume down button to turn the screen on.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
search this forum.. a couple of pages back there is this app that can do what u want.
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
Next time please just name the app, makes it a lot easier, and saves a lot of searching.

Anyway, I found it on my own, and the app is called "No Lock". Best thing of all, it's free in the market!

This app will disable the lock screen, and thus wakes up immediately without having to unlock. Also, now you can wake the phone up with the volume button.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
widget locker can also power on with volume button, and its very customizable but its not free, well worth the cost tho

[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
Hello all,

I am usually not one to make a big deal about things but I am really unhappy with Dell. If they were not ready with a quality device they should have just passed on having a launch event.

I figured it would be good to try and get more info out there since there are so few of us that have been dealing with this issue of the engineering samples and now bad returns. May not help us but you never know. If more sites have news about this maybe Dell will start to take notice since I have tried to get the news to all the Windows Phone sites that I have been reading.

WPcentral.com

Pocketnow.com

WmPoseruser.com

EverythingWM.com

Tmonews.com

I have also sent some info to jkontherun.com

Hopefully if word of what is going on spreads a bit more Dell will say something.. anything..
[Venue Pro General] djca:
If Dell isn't ready with the Venue Pro then I'd just let Dell take their time to come up with a polished product. It's clear that they were not ready for the November 8 soft launch. The decision to rush the phones to Microsoft stores led to this PR fiasco.

It's just a phone. It's not the end of the world. Dell isn't forcing anyone to buy their phone.
[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
I don't want them to rush anything.. I want the exact opposite.. If they get bad press from all of this they might think twice about releasing a product this way again.

I really want them to take a good few months to get it right before they try and launch again.
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
I'd like for them to just quickly tell us if this is a week long fix for them or a few months, I'm betting it's a few months now and I may just end up getting a Focus by Dec 1st
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
I think they are going to take their time trying to please us, they have a bigger computer market to worry about. They are going to what they do regardless
[Venue Pro General] kimck99:
I believe between this site and references to this site from various techblogs as well as comments in Twitter have gotten Dell's attention.

Although I got my wife the Focus, I have decided to give Dell an opportunity to correct itself with a fixed product to release. Having said that, I may reach a point where I just might wait until first of next year to see what other devices Samsung and others have up their sleeve. Frankly, the hardward/spec on all the current WP7 phones are near end of lifecycle products (except the screen) on teh DVP and Foucs) so I'm kind of at a point where I may just skip the Venue Pro all together and wait for the next gen devices.

Hell, I've waited 1.8 years for WP7, what's another 2-3 months... All this goes out the window if Dell has it available in December. If later, I'll just wait.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
If you do currently own a DVP and have issues, call Dell mobility and have them issue you a service number. They are escalating all issues to management. That would at least show that you as a consumer are concerned and will hopefully get them in contact with you once they have some news. The number is 18003083355
[Venue Pro General] SonicFlare:
Nice move... now they canceled all pre-ordered deviced on their site.. :(
[Venue Pro General] Shoot2ill:
Yep. A representative called me yesterday afternoon to tell me my order had been canceled. And the wait continues...
[Venue Pro General] nasell:
Pretty sure that post didn't cause them to make such a large decision as to cancel all pre-orders...lol
[Venue Pro General] gshocker:
I would certainly hope that a post would not sway corporate decisions like that. My hope is that Dell or Microsoft says something about the status of the product. At the moment the MS stores are still showing them but not saying anything about availability.
[Venue Pro General] agp64:
I am with you on this, I made a point about the poor specs and build quality on the HD7 and got criticized buy a few.

It seems that most think the current specs are fine.

Personally I would like better all round specs not 2 year old tech like the HD2 has. After all it is nearly 2011.:)

It has been frustrating trying to get a WP7 phone with the specifications I like.:(

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spudge:
Well considering Taiwan is a republic of China, I don't really know if there will be great variances in build quality, etc. (Also, China builds a good majority of consumer electronics. Google "Foxconn")

That being said, someone in the general section has posted variances in lock buttons between versions; I'm wondering if we can correlate button quality with manufacturing point
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
Made in Taiwan better...

I was recently able to test out Made in China vs. Taiwan.

I had the China for two weeks (approx) before I sent it back and got a made in Taiwan model. I've been using the Taiwan model since. (I looked at these models really carefully to come up with the results below). I will note some of the issues below.

Hardware: WIN - TAIWAN

China model

-creaky back button that annoyed the hell out of me

-had to press the plastic below the button to "snap" it in

-slight 0.5mm height difference between battery cover and phone

-placement of "remove SIM before inserting battery" sticker crooked

-slight <0.5mm offset of camera lens. (very slight)

-Samsung 8gb class 2 microSD card (TAIWAN model gave me class 4 Sandisk)

Taiwan model

-small scratch (1mm) on LCD glass (can only notice at certain angles under direct light) cannot notice after applying screen protector

-everything else perfect, buttons easier to depress with no creaking

Software: WIN - TAIWAN

China model

-Quadrant score max = 1840 (TAIWAN gave me max 1974, almost 2K)

-speedtest; "felt slow", but could be all in my head.

-VERY laggy phone interface (almost had to wait 5 sec+ for contacts to switch between phone, contacts, call log, voicemail, etc)

TAIWAN model

-no issues

MAYBE it was just me, but the made in China model that I got sucked when compared to Taiwan. Of course I put these phone under a microscope to see the small difference.

If it was me, I would prefer the made in Taiwan model.

The Quadrant score diff. could have been affected by class 4 vs class 2 sd? However, I am not rooted and running stock, so I doubt it.

Of course, YMMV, so this is just my experience.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
I've experienced opposite,

My phone is from China. Everything perfect. Came preinstalled 2.2.1 and everything just works.

My girlfriends phone is from Taiwan, everything about her phone annoys me and its going back for replacement asap. The lock button is mushy and doesn't click, the screen is all washed out looking, the ffc is crooked as hell. jus seems like a less quality built version from Taiwan.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternot:
I never checked my first one, but it def had the washed out screen and winky ffc. I returned it cuz of a stuck pixel. This second unit is from Taiwan and is perfect except for one thing... the home and menu buttons creak if you hit them a certain way.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fenny:
Tired of having to type in a password or PIN into your phone just because your Corporate Email account requires it? I know I am.

This modified Email.apk will allow you to bypass the password, and possibly other exchange security policies, simply because, when it evaluates the policy to see if it is active, it always returns that it is. And so, when it checks to see if your PIN is active, it simply thinks it is, and continues to go about it's business as normal. This will NOT add support for remote wipe, or functions that your device simply does not support. Though I might add that later.

I have taken the liberty of modifying the Email.apk from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848115 using the same method as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729753

TL;DR: No phone password required with Exchange accounts.

This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm inexperienced with adb... I can get into the cmd but adb push tells me it's a read only system, as I'm still on the stock kernel. Adb remount gives no such file or directory... Adb shell su gives me root access inside the shell, but I can't get mount to work, it just keeps telling the me parameters of the command. I'm sure that I'm just missing a step or exact syntax of the mount command somewhere... Alternatively, how hard is it to make an apk into a flashable zip used in clockwork recovery?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fenny:
You could also:

ADB Push Email.apk /mnt/sdcard/Email.apk
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
cp /mnt/sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/Email.apk
chmod 777 /system/app/Email.apk

Thanks - what about the other route - having this integrated into the big ROMs such as CM or DOC or Darky (both SGS ROMs) - would be great to have the choice in the ROM kitchen of DOC and Stefun.

What is missing in the install howto post(s) is that /system must be mounted rw - this can be done on the command line or easier with searching "mount rw" in the market and doing it with an app.
