Not worried at all. Nothing on my phone to steal.

What does worry me is this statement: "Google is aware of the issue but has unusually said that the fix will come only with Android 2.3, or Gingerbread."

We may never see Gingerbread for this device, that's what worries me the most.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Google should make a patch for existing OS available as well as addressing it in 2.3. Especially since they can't make manufacturers build new releases.
[Captivate General] devho:
I don't have anything on my phone that would put me in jeopardy anyway, so no.
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
WTF, really? If you went to a website that started downloading stuff in the background, wouldn't you use task manager and close the browser and/or turn off your data connection as soon as possible? You can clearly see at :55 where it starts downloading a file.

It sucks that Android 2.2 has a vulnerability, but it's all about user behavior. I've gone without an actively scanning virus scanner on my Windows desktop for the last 4 or 5 years and have never once gotten accidentally infected. Security is more about user behavior than it is about fixing every single possible flaw, including those that require knowing the exact path of the files you want to steal from someone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
Hey there,

I'm having issues trying to sync my phone with my computer. When I connect my phone, nothing happens, Zune doesn't launch, and when I open it, it doesn't show my device as connected. I've tried everything I can think of, different USB ports, rebooting both the phone and my pc. I'm running windows 7 64 bit, and it was working before. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for the help!

p.s. I tried uninstalling the drivers for the device, and upon reinstall my computer said it was installing drivers for "Microsoft USB Sync" thought that was weird...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
try making it forget your device (don't have your phone plugged in). to do this, click on the phone icon in the bottom left of zune, click view sync options, and then on that screen click forget device.

after this, try and connect it again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
Didn't work, i plug my phone in, and Zune still says I have no device connected
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
does your computer make it's sound when you connect the phone (device detected sound)? if not, you might need to reset your phone (settings > about > reset phone). if yes, does it show the eject icon in the notification area (system tray)?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
yes, it makes the sound, and yes it shows the eject icon... this is very odd
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superscientifical:
I had this problem too. When i went to the Device Manager, it showed unknown device when i plugged my phone in using the USB cable.

Here is what I did (Windows 7). If you see an unknown device, right click it and select Update Driver Software. Click Browse my computer for driver software, then click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Then click on the Have Disk button, then browse to C:\Program Files\Zune\Drivers\Zune and select WMZuneSerUSB.inf. Then select Windows Phone 7. Hit Next and you should now see your Unknown Device show up as either Windows Phone or the name of your phone under Portable Devices in the Device Manager.

Actually, I forget if it is WMZuneSerUSB.inf or Zune.inf, so you'll need to try both.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
I can't seem to be able to get past selecting the .inf file, every time i try, it says the folder does not contain a compatible software driver. Doesn't work with either .inf file....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarCruise:
I had this problem with my Samsung Focus.

Try using the cable that came with the phone, not another one...

That is what worked for me..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
Nothing seems to be working, I may have to reset my phone, which i was hoping to avoid...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heathcliff74:
Did you perhaps use the hidden Tethering feature? If so, then change that option back to "Zune sync" and you're done. It is not possible to use your phone for Zune sync and tethering at the same time, for now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
Now that you mention it, I can't remember if I did that on this phone, or my last optimus that had to be returned. What exactly do I need to do to change that back? I totally forget the process...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heathcliff74:
Dial ##634# to go to "Diagnostic mode"

Then enter *#7284# to go to "Micro USB Test"

You then have 3 options to choose: "Zune Sync" (default), "Modem, Tethered Call" and "Modem, USB Diag". Change it back to "Zune Sync" and you'll be able to connect with Zune on your PC.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitaldon37:
Anyone else having this problem? Zune doesn't recognize my WP7 phone on a laptop with Win 7 x64, but same phone+cable works on a laptop with WinXP

The Win 7x64 laptop does connect to the phone - I tried the above tethering change and was able to pull files from my WP7 storage - but when I switch it back to Zune synch it doesn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Dustman:
Is this specific to Samsung models? I can't get to the micro USB test on my lg optimus

EDIT: Problem solved, I had to switch back to MS COMPOSITE, and now it works fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amb9800:
Hmm yeah I have this issue on my HD7 with my PC running Win7 x64.

The phone connects fine on both ends (sound on both, phone charging, shows up in Device Manager as HTC HD7), but the desktop Zune software often does not show it as being connected. Restarting the phone and PC generally doesn't help-- just have to wait a few days until they start syncing again.

The sync setup seems really flaky (like the earlier days of ActiveSync).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oberoth:
i have the same problem...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Servo:
Are you using virtualisation software? It's USB arbitrator modules for forwarding devices might have messed up things. This happened over here before with VirtualBox.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myjess:
Exact same problem with Win7 Ultimate x64. Device manager saw my phone but zune would not.

I did the steps above to change my phone to usb tether, rebooted, then back to zune zync, rebooted, and now the zune sees my phone.

Thanks for the help.

ok so i may have jus been being a ruh tard and sorry for the question i made it into a .zip file and am gonna put it in the right place and that should be all i need to do right?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
Yes if its the right file just rename it to bootanimation.zip and put it in the system/media folder
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] timmy_206:
alright thanks i questioned it too quickly then realized what i was doing i think i got it hopefully i can make it work i def think its one of my favorite boot animations ive seen
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:

put this on my phone yesterday its sweet very well done
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] donharden2002:
Any chance of making this work on a captivate? My friends don't understand why I play with my phone so much and this would be a way of showing them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frawggy:
Not sure. My girlfriend has a captivate and she won't let me so much as finger it..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] crxforya:
I tried that, Im on stock app and I even removed the sammy boot qmg's and still no worky. Is this not for stock roms, I dont see any other bootanimation zip files in the media folder???

no? no idea anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
When I was in the vibrant forums there was talk about using Astro ( from the market ) to make a change to settings to enable downloading. Maybe the new rom needs that setting in the browser. The G2 forums don't have enough experts yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
Well is weird, sometimes I can download but the files are corruputed, for example with apks it will say that it can't be parsed, attachments from my email just fail and wont download at all... and if I get stuff from mediafire , it works....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDRxC860:
Try flashing a different version of cyanogen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
You should redownload the file and try to install the file zip again. Perhaps your APN setting. I have no clue. Sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
Apn setting uhmmm I remember I changed that once because when I tried virtous I think, messaging won't work.... anyhow, anyone knows the correct settings for the APN settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prp2:
APNs should be:

T-Mobile Data (default)

----

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: default,supl

T-Mobile FOTA

----

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: hipri

T-Mobile MMS

----

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: mms

Any other fields, leave blank. The Virtuous ROM 0.7.2 I'm using right now, fwiw, has the data and MMS APNs combined into one, with the type being default,supl,mms.

As for not being able to download files, try unmounting your SD card first, then downloading, then remounting. I've had to do that once or twice for certain apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
awesome trying now!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
If you switched to the CM rom it shouldNt be your apn setting cuz the rom sets them after you install anew rom.

Your wiping the battery stats and delvkie stats in advance also?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
Your wiping the battery stats and delvkie stats in advance also?

did not got that... could you repeat it please? lol

and well not im with enomthers and as soon as i get out of my job, i'm gonna try downloading, and everything else is been mentioned here.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VValdo:
This sounds like a bad sdcard...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundertroy:
either bad sdcard, or maybe the cyanogenmod when you downloaded messed up? I'm using cyanogenmod 6.0 right now and I can download everything just fine, only problem I have is with my mms, they don't download right away and my connection goes away for a bit when I press download..

download the ROM again and wipe the sdcard completely of everything from your computer, put the ROM on your sdcard and then try installing again. It should work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
It could be your network. I'm running nightly build 49 and I'm not getting any download problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
I wiped everything and got enomthers, and it just doesn't work, filesonic and such, even over wifi also when I try to get stuff of my email also would fail..... It just fails but then if I get stuff over mediafire for example it works. And even then not all the time.. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Denkai:
It can't be this simple but try downloading an app like astro or linda file manager.

I don't know if the cyanogen roms changed it but by defualt andriod will not download a file type it doesn't have an app that recognizes it.

[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
I'm using adw launcher on my Tab and since the last update, the 'drawer' icon in the middle of the dock has gone. It was initially replaced with the generic android app icon which prompted a 'not installed' message when tapped. I can drag and drop any other icon to that spot, and it works, but what I want is the original drawer icon back.

I've set the 'up swipe' gesture to open the drawer for now, but that just a workaround.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Got me too, on my phone.

Longpress on a home screen like you were going to add a widget or change wallpaper, you should see "Custom Shortcut". Select it, pick the app drawer, it'll now be a shortcut icon on your home screen. Drag it down to where it belongs, and you're done. Until the next time it happens.

Hopefully, it'll get better soon.

For my Tab, I decided to go with LauncherPro, it's just a lot faster and smoother. Miss the ADW themes though.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Thanks. That worked.

I tried Launcher Pro, but the free version couldn't resize widgets, which makes it pretty unusable for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
But the paid version lets you do it visually, on the fly. And comes with a few nice widgets of its own. Pro-tip, if you enable the "Motorola Droid Hack" in General Settings, it's even smoother, because it's using some basic GPU hardware acceleration features, and the Tab has the same family of GPU (PowerVR) so it's compatible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
Ok, so my last gralloc test failed because i didnt allocate memory properly. But if yo u want o build your own gralloc for wvga.. this is what you need.

Increasing ALLOCATORREGION_RESERVED_SIZE from (2400<<10) to (3000<<10) is a must (800x480x4x2) = 3000<<10 which matches qcom lib i modified.

My main goal now is to see if we do benefit at all from a 2+13 mem configuration on pmem. Also people reported sound going out with these changes. Anyone care to help debug ?

Also look at the gralloc line

#define FB_ARENA HW3D_EBI

We can specify here if we want to use ebi or smi. Since we do have 7mb on smi, why not test it out :-)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] [ACL]:
:-p ..

its all good. Actually the reason for the post was to encourage others to join the devs. The kernel team is actually a tight group who communicates almost on a daily basis, so i know who works on this and who doesnt. But it never hurts to ask the crowd. Thats how i met wozzer and nate actually so i'll do it from time to time in hope someone has some free time and programming experience to help.

With SMS Backup +, you can send your texts to a specified folder/label in a Gmail account, and restore them at a later time.

[Hero CDMA General] trindy:
I have a ton of texts from my son in basic training that are important to me (whenever I start missing him I just go back and read them). If you're using CM6 or AOSP you can just back them up with Titanium Backup and restore the SMS messages. Today I switched from CM6 to LiquidSence and that method didnt work. I installed SMS Backup & Restore from the market and was able to restore all of my son's texts.

SMS B&R has a "no duplicates" feature. It will check to see which ones have already been restored and will pick up where it left off if your phone freezes.

I get it, it will take a long time. But if your messages are as important to you as mine are to me, it's worth it.

Hey now... these are the kind of things that could cause flame wars

All jokes aside, you'll do yourself a BIG favor by not taking comments/posts personally. Getting worked up over something online doesn't do anyone any good (besides the entertainment value 3rd parties receive from it :D), especially yourself. :)

Onto the actual topic now: As trindy said try using SMS Backup & Restore. It should do the job you need - should being the operative word here because I've never heard of anyone backing up over a few thousand messages...let alone 50,000 :eek:

Hope it works out for ya
[Windows Phone 7 General] 87jason:
OK I currently have a Samsung Fascinate, and im starting to get fed up with android and there horribly slow update time frame, and the bugs with this phone i wanna like it but for some reason i cant seem to.But i think what the problem is with android is that its so open and so many phone makers are making android phone these days and so fast its to much to kepp them all updated with the newest software version. And i have had a droid eris, droid incredible, a droid x, and now the samsung fascinate, and none of them seem to satisfy me. So my question to you guys is would it be worth switching from android to win7 when verizon gets some win 7 models this spring.
