Wonder why this media scan toggle app is disabling my ability to view pictures in gallery as well as the music player not showing any songs at all, even my mp3 ringtone in the music player is no longer playing and no longer an option under settings>sounds>ringtones ?

In other words, I thought that this app only stopped scanning/rescanning of media which would be GREAT but it not only stops the scanning, it also disables me from viewing any pictures in gallery and disables me from playing songs in Music Player and to top it off it also disables my mp3 ringtones when the phone is sopposed to ring.

(so with this app enabled my phone does not ring unless I select a built-in ringtone)

Perhaps I am doing something wrong or I just don't understand what this app is really intended for?

HELP! (I do want the media scanner not to scan unless I turn it on)

BUT I do want to be able to use mp3 song ringtones and want music player to play my mp3 songs and I do want to view all my pictures in the Gallery.

If I NEVER restart the phone this "rescan Media" media scanner app works as advertised

but after rebooting the phone it not only disables the media scanner but it also prevents me from viewing any pictures or videos in the gallery plus in Music Player no songs show up at all........

My phone is a Samsung Captivate using Froyo 2.2 firmware.

Thanks!

[Legend General] parker09:
Hey just wondering if I use a AC adapter to charge my Legend via USB, when its plugged in I can't unlock the phone, the screen seems to only recognise touch for about half a second, eg. I can swipe my finger to use the unlock bar but it only goes about half way to the right and the same thing for the mute button, it only goes about half way to the left.

Charging via USB connected to the computer works perfectly but it's just when I'm charging via AC adapter. Thought it was weird - might have something to do with the phone getting too much electricity through the AC?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
AC charging works fo' me
[Legend General] rku615:
It should work the same with or without charging.

[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] kepler1982:
This app is able to disable the mediascanner at boot. which would probably make the bootlag a bit less annoying for some people.

you can find it at market, just search for "aditya"

remember to download the root version, as the regular one can't stop the service.

also, usb-debugging must be enabled.

i have no idea how this will impact the folios performance, but it's worth a shot.

does anyone have any pics of an extended life battery with the phone in a snap holster. the ones where the phone faces inwards to see how secure it is. thanks
[Epic 4G Accessories] Toast95135:
I've been meaning to get around to this, here you go:

It's secure enough where it won't fall out, but I'd get some foam and put it on the top arm so it can't rattle. That thick rubbery stuff with one glue side should work.
[Epic 4G Accessories] kgbcapthowdy:
which holster is that, i just ordered these today

im hoping that snap holster will hold this as well, is yours the seidio one or just a sprint/generic one? Thanks again
[Epic 4G Accessories] MedicStuder:
I have that same battery and the sedio innocase with belt holster. If u leave the front half on the phone it fits snugly. Obviously the back won't fit anymore. But it is working out great. I am tryingto figure out a way to modify the back. Will let u know if I figure something out.
[Epic 4G Accessories] MedicStuder:
Ok. Finally modified my innocase. I cut it inhalf right below the flash hole on it then super glued it to the extended battery door. Now it fits even better in the holster. There is no movement at all.

[Epic 4G Accessories] kgbcapthowdy:
well obviously im still waiting on the battery. Coming from hong kong. But my clip holster came in today and my god i am shocked at how sturdy this thing it. And from looking at it i think the extended battery will fit just fine in there. with no kind of movement in said clip
[Epic 4G Accessories] mbkowns:
Could one of you brave souls take a picture of the phone in this holster but having it face forward instead of toward the case. I want to use it as a car mount with the krusell link above that I already have from other phones.
[Epic 4G Accessories] kgbcapthowdy:
mine wont go in front facing, the way its designed it just wont at all
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
I have the Seidio holster + innocase combo and it will fit with the front facing out, but it's a tight fit. There is some resistance on the top clip when taking the phone out, but that's to be expected. I don't have my extended battery yet so I I'm not sure if it'll fit with the battery while facing screen out. Let me know if you still want pics of the innocase+ holster facing out.

Honestly though, why not just buy a cheap car mount? You can get a car mount for $10 or less online nowadays, wouldn't it be easier to just buy a separate mount?
[Epic 4G Accessories] MedicStuder:
I attempted to do it and no you can't. Due to the angle of the extended battery it won't slide in. I was hoping it would because I have a new holster on the way because my clip broke so i was going to then modify by broken clip and turn it into a car mount. I will keep you posted and post back in this forum if I get it figured out.
[Epic 4G Accessories] MedicStuder:
I used a small drill bit (can't remember the size) and drilled a few pilot holes. Then i used a lighter to warm up the case and warm up a pointed razor blade and very carefully slide the knife from hole to hole. Then i used sand paper (heavy grit) to grind down the ruff edges. I then used the lighter to burn off all the plastic shards sticking off the case.
[Epic 4G Accessories] mbkowns:
Did you get it figured out?

Ok for those of you who don't know the red paperclip experiment was an occurence in which a guy traded his way up from a red paperclip to owning a house and car without putting any sort of money into it. It was simply a constant upgrade process regardless of how tiny that took decades to complete but in the end had massive rewards. I decided to apply the same principal to phones and over the years I have traded my way up quite nicely without any sacrifice. I do also have other devices but this is how my own personal paperclip experiment went.

Motorola Razor

Samsung Blackjack

PPC6800

T mobile Wing (ended up getting water damaged so I had to downgrade)

Samsung Blackjack 2

T mobile Dash

G1

Mytouch 3g

Cliq

Garminfone

Nexus one

HD2

Captivate

HTC Surround

Dell Streak (unlocked and rooted)

Dell Streak and Samsung Behold 2 (yes the guy was an idiot)

HTC HD7 & Dell Streak

So, any questions/comments or suggestions on what to go for next? These trades were all conducted over craigslist or (when I was younger) at events such as pokemon card tournaments and stuff (I was a kid, sue me.)

Nice

I did this experiment too, cept i wanted it to move faster so instead of simply trading i invested initial 300 (this was to buy my first phone before i had even decided to try this) and from there include money if needed and stuff and ended up makin $2k and piled a net worth of $1.5k which i gave to family and friends haha also gave discounts to other people. Did this for a few months (also a student and busy body)

Yea i would try for tablet or maybe get the iPhone 4?

I'm pretty confident the warranty on my Evo will expire before 4G comes to my home area, despite the salesperson stating that it would here prior to 2010 year-end, Sprint has not even announced plans for my city yet.

I've actually backed them up already, but only after I rooted, nand unlocked, and install a custom ROM. I wasn't aware I could do this before I did.

I ran the grep command and the output was in order, but from what I understand, that output isn't a sure-fire way to insure that it's working.

Any other thoughts?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempguest:
I'm assuming you're in an area covered by 4G then? You know that the 4G is working on your phone, right?

Let me ask you this, then: what happens in your phones 4G settings menu when you're not getting a signal? Will your phone scan for a few seconds, then after not finding a signal, look like this:

4G stays on but says disconnected after a few seconds?

Hello,

I am using my hd7 from the past week...The WP7 OS is pretty good, but i have some issues with the phone's hardware in general.

The battery is pretty weak, it does not even last a whole day, with moderate phone/web usage via cellular data connection.All my updates are off, push email is off (download content set to manual), Find my phone is off, the automatic updates are off as well. With all those options, my phone hardly lasts for 10-12 hours :(

The second issue is with the speakers. It is too low, i keep on missing calls all the time as I am unable to hear my phone. I have the sound enhancer set to dolby surround, don't know if it works for incoming calls...Anyone experiencing these issues?

[HD2 General] ThinkTankInk:
Hiya,

I lost my phone over New Years and am claiming on my insurance (which covers loss etc. I've read all the policy).

Just wondering if the HD2 is still available to purchase as this is the handset I lost. If it isn't I'll require a similar spec handset. Due to the 4.3" screen on the HD2 I think I'm pretty much limited to the HD7 or the Desire HD.

Don't know if I'll be able to get any of those though as I am unsure of the proceedure once the claim has been approved.

So my questions are:

Is the HD2 still available. If so, where from? (UK)

The screen size was the main requirement for picking the HD2 in the first place, so what else would I get with a similar spec?

Would the insurance company, in your experience, pay out for a handset of that value? I appreciate it depends on the company and what-not, but I'm pretty sure that I would get something of equal or above specification, right?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Pica_Man:
I lost my MDA Vario III years ago and claimed on insurance, was a little disappointed to find I had to have another Vario, no chance of an upgrade. You may not get any option. If you are looking for a 4.3" screen, I would vote for the HD7. The WP7 OS really is slick and very reliable on my Omnia7, I assume the experience is pretty identical on the HD7, and it will only get better with updates later in 2011.

If you get another HD2, its no bad thing, Cotulla's new NAND Android Rom is fantastic, plus you would still have the option of sticking with WinMo or seeing what happens with a WP7 Rom port.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Too many variables to account for on this one but if the new device has to be of a similar spec or value you can include the dell streak in the listed options. It has pretty much the same hardware as the Leo but with a 5 inch screen and it runs android (let down for me but we're not talking about me)
[HD2 General] johnerz:
There is every chance your insurance company will stump up a refurb HD2, that seems to be the norm in the UK, check the small print :(
[HD2 General] ThinkTankInk:
Thanks for the replies, everyone.

If I do end up getting another HD2, I'm not going to be bothered. It's still a great handset and should do me another year until my contract ends. I was kinda hoping I would get another OS device though as my experiences with Android on the HD2 haven't been amazing (mainly the battery life and my lack of wanting to learn how to sort it out) and feel it would be a lot better on a native device.

We shall have to wait and see what Mr Insurance Man has to say.

Again, thanks.

Since there's no Acer Liquid mt section for now, I'll post it here ;)

First of all, I got an Acer Liquid mt since 5 days.

The first 3 days everything went fine, since 2 days... there's a "Ghost in the Machine" ;)

Issue 1:

The Liquid mt is swtiched on.

Battery went down to 15% - I plugged in the charger.

After 1,5 hours, the phone shows 100% (under Settings and a separate Taskbar icon, "Batteryminder").

So I took the charger off - and after 1 hour of standby the battery went down to 95%.

After 2-3 minutes of typing - 90%.

So WTF...?!

Issue 2:

So I charged again and after 15 minutes or so the phone shows 100% - again ;)

Then I turned off the phone and charged it in off-mode.

The phone was then fully charged after another 45 minutes!

With this procedure I have normal battery life... that means 5% in around 8 hours (in standby).

Strange thing is, that the phone shows "fully charged" - when it's approximately charged 60% or so...

Does anyone have an idea?!

Thanks!
