Indeed. The guy who wrote that application has been working with SE phones for years. Myphoneexplorer really helps one to transfer, or at the worst, backup all one's old messages. The only problem is he never seemed to get it to work with MMS, due to limitations in the SE hardware, but I suspect he'll get that working for Androids.

Hello everybody,

i just received my new HD7 and i was wondering how to backup and sync SMS; is this possible? If so, how? By outlook or on the cloud? I went to the windows phone section of my windows live but i could not find it.

Maybe the solution is obvious (nad apologize for the question!) but i cannot see it! I tryed to search this forum and browse the net, but could not find any satisfactory answer.

Thanks in advance for your advices!

Hi guys,

I am a new desire user, coming from the HTC Hero so I'm quite familiar with Android, HTC, rooting and all other stuff.

On the Hero I was running villainROM 12.0 (as far as I remember, that was the last ROM I tested), so now I'm looking for a food, stable ROM to run on my Desire.

Any advice ?

Before you tell me to search the forum: I already did and all my searches didn't come with a clear answer so a little advice would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zHk3R:
If you read the ROM info it very clearly states if it's a stable ROM or not.

Basically any rom that's not a BETA or RC is stable. Even the betas and RCs are often stable.

And this is a development forum. Not questions & answers.

Also: Read the "Desire Index". It's sticked - it's a good read.

It was the goddamn AVG free antivirus. It made itself a link on home screen (1), and duplicated Gmail. After I removed it, it didn't even remove its own link. Looks like s**t now!

Done... Don't know how, the AVG icon vanished in the meanwhile. As for the Gmail, should have tapped for 2 sec and then the Remove icon appeared..nasty trick!

As far a I know, flash lite is not supported for the integrated opera mobile 9 on the hd2. However, you can always download opera mobile 10 from here which supports flash. Not sure if the latest version do support it, but Opera Mobile 10 beta 3 does support it after all.

Hi I have a problem with my new Defy. It comes with a 2 GB sd card. I wanted to change it for another 8GB sd card but when i do the change the mobile doesnt start! The motorola logo appears and after 5 seconds or so dissapears.

How can i change my sd card for another with bigger capacity?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Sorry to ask, but you did format it?
[Defy General] mindlessdrone:
Might be down to compatibility - alot of newer devices, especially smartphones, tend to prefer micro sd cards with faster speed ratings, eg class 6 or 10. If you've bought a cheap micro sd card, chances are it's a slow one and perhaps that's the reason your defy is choking on it?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Hello all,

I am new to android and experiencing this great oss via my htc desire!

I have version 2.2 (I think it's called froyo - non-rooted).

A prolbem occurs sometimes that says (translated from greek):

"There was an unexpected termination of the application "Messaging" (process com.android.mms) Try again."

And the only button I can press is "Close (or Forced Close)"..

This does not happen only with Messaging but wit Google services and a general "Android system", as well..

The problem I 've noticed is that when entering the Messaging application it shows the sms I 've received by my contacts, but these appear not as contacts nut as mobile numbers.

In example, at my contacts, I have Mr.X with mobile number 12345.

Sometimes when I enter the messaging application, I see 12345 and not the Mr.X as sender.

This is solved by forcing the application to close via the Application Manager (or management, through settings).

What can I do to solve these matters?

Is hard/soft reset a solution?

Also if I root my device am I going to lose data?

Is there any guide to follow so as to root my mobile? (I am really new to this android stuff, but have knowledge of PCs general and psp (flashing, wich is the same with custom roms)).

I would like to save my Contacts, Messages and Applications. Which application should I use?

Thank you!:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Hard reset will most likely fix it.

By just rooting you don't lose data, and after you're rooted you can make a nandroid backup.

If you want to root you can check the development section for instructions.

Edit: If you do a hard reset you will lose the data on the phone (messages, etc.), so you might want to backup them before that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Thank you for your reply!

About the backup you've said, is there any good application to backup sms, contacts?

I am taking a backup now and using the one by sprite mobile..Is it good?

Or should I root firstly and then use another backup application that needs rooted device?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Okay I think a better backup would be MyBackup (this is only a demo but should do for you) or LifeSaver

If you root with unrEVOked you'll get a custom recovery, from which you can make a nandroid (If this sentence doesn't make any sense to you please feel free to use search to find what I mean :))

Also If you have root you can use Titanium Backup app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I believe that I got what you said..

I would have Revoked if I bought it in example from a Vodafone store right?

I think mine is not branded...so I have unrevoked?? :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yes, "Revoked" will work for you.

But before doing that please get to know android OS a little better, I have a feeling you are not absolutely aware what are you about to do.

So read a little bit about "rooting", you can find plenty of information in the development section.

One of the important things is to check your firmware so in case you have problems you can revert to the "out of the box" state.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Revoked will work?

I thought it is Unrevoked.. :-S

Because I haven't bought my mobile from a provider such as vodafone..

When you say, get to know android OS a little better, what do you recommend doing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
I was refering to this because I didn't quite understand you clearly.

Nevermind it is unrEVOked. And it will work, no matter where did you get your phone from. For more information on rooting and similar stuff check out this threads:

Want to put Cognition v2.3b6 on it.

need following questions answered before I move forward...

Do I need to backup anything if I have nothing I want from at&t default and I can go back to stock rom 2.1 firmware later through odon.

Is it possible to change and/or should I change baseband version of phone to an I9000 model? Especially since perception is based off of I9000UGJK3...and other roms are based off of others.

How do I know what build i have for 3 button test?

Where do I get these files for Odin and do I use one-click or full Odin3 to use?

• Odin.exe

• PIT.pit

• PDA.tar

• PHONE.tar

• CSC.tar
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Go to the captivate android developement section and read the sticky Read Before Flashing. That will help with 3 button and whatnot. To go to stock just get odin one click, it does it all so no need to find pit and tar files.

Make sure you can get to recovery and download modes with your buttons first, then just follow the instructions very carefully for the rom you want to flash.

The official Galaxy S Froyo ROM released in Europe is not better either. Its Gallery app has a nasty battery drain bug.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Try this without having to reflash.

Connect to PC and MOVE all of your pictures to your PC. Delete anything you see inside .thumbnails in the DCIM folder (from your default Camera storage). Move all of your pictures back to your phone. If you accidentally copied a .thumbnails folder, make sure you don't move that back in. Gallery will reindex all of your pictures and create new thumbnails.

:cool:

Just deleting .thumbnails and a reboot works for me when/if this happens.

Try going to your picasa web albums at picasaweb.google.com/home

By default the gallery app / android will sync with picasa web albums, so anything added there will appear in gallery.
[Captivate General] Nickel Dime Bay:
I've never used picasa but I'm gonna give it a try.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
Move everything into your internal sd card. I know it sucks and it's not as secure but just make sure you backup regularly. It got really annoying deleting the thumbnails once a week and it hasn't happened since I shifted everything to my internal sd.

Or you can just change your phone to a Spanish generic build (you probably have a Vodafone one), update via SEUS and you should have a clean phone.
