[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vafifty4:
The only way I can think of at the moment would be to open your internet browser and login to your hotmail account, then export your contacts to your computer which should give you a save file. Then make a gmail account (which you're going to have to do anyways to use the android market) and import your contacts to that, then you can sync them to your phone. Another step would be to setup in the Contacts app setting to automatically make any new contact save to your gmail account instead of the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
Sweet, just did that. Just had to export CSV from Hotmail and import the CSV to my Gmail.

Hi

A way to deploy Xap without running boring Zune software.

First disable autostart when device is connect in zune settings.

create a shortcut off C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\WPConnect\WPConnect.exe

connect your device then run this shortcut.

when this cmd close you can deploy XAP with your favorite tool

or unlock the phone with chevron (sometime with an error message but this work)

simple!

if you don't have WPConnect.exe

install the WPDTOctober2010Update

Not that this isn't good info but it's an officially supported tool/method. Without this it's impossible to debug apps that make use of any sort of media.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] martani:
Exactly, because when debugging applications that uses the CameraTask / Zune API, you cannot access to these tasks if you are connected to Zune, and hence, you cannot debug with visual studio anyways.

This tool is made for this purpose and is described with details in the book Programming Windows Phone 7

Hi,

I did all of the steps you posted and still getting the error message of " Sorry I'm having trouble communicating with the Phone. ETC..."

trying to unlock my Focus isung this method didn't work. this WPConnect.exe just blinks (with printscreen I could read that can't connect to phone) and Chevron doesn't even open, click and the stupid "UH oh" message again and again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Do you have chevron set as an exception in your firewall settings. I have eset and that gave me problems for a while because I was expecting a popup asking if i wanted to add an exception and it never did. I had to do it manually. I personally unlock my hd7 and deploy cap with wpconnect... Way faster than Zune. Only use zune to sync music

Read and understand do not make a move until you understand what you are doing . First use of a custom rom or flashing of a rom invalidates your warranty full stop . Forum is littered with bricked phones due to failure to read and understand .

Once you understand then its relatively easy and relatively risk free .

1- putting a title like "need help" doesn't in fact, help. please be more specific.

cheers.

The easiest way to do this is to try one of the Android SD builds, all you do is download the build and copy it to your SD, then you run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe which takes you into android. Then simply access the market, download and install, th whole process will take you less than 30 mins.

[G Tablet Android Development] pershoot:
If your using what's at nvidia for. 32 line for broadcom, that's the version you'll be on (what shipped with our tabs (233.1)). So that is correct what you have.

If your using my source (which I modified from AOSP; check git for mods/details done for our specific platform; check vision-2632 repo for further changes done to AOSP src), then you will get the latest version published to date (248.18).

You can test both sets of firmware independently to see which plays better with our specific tabs and specific use case(s).

Possible bcm4329 wlan driver bug.

The test commands assume that you have a ftp or http server running somewhere on your LAN, but you could also file transfer across the Internet.

$ sleep 10 # let the file transfer really get going.
$ su
# ifconfig wlan0 txqueuelen 0 # change the transmit queue length.
# /system/xbin/ifconfig wlan0

You can substitute a wget for the ftpget above:

wget -qO /dev/null http://192.168.1.101/SOME_SERVER_PATH/VERY_LARGE_FILE.tar.bz2 &

As can be seen, the IP address gets screwed up. I've observed that if you do this after a fresh boot, the wlan interface gets messed up and the transfer is aborted. You'll have to manually deactivate and re-activate the wlan interface again to get the IP address back to normal.

But, if you turn off the interface, turn it back on and then do the test above, the interface remains up, the file transfer proceeds to completion, but the IP address gets screwed up as shown above, and you can still ping the old IP address, 192.168.1.102.

I'd check out the eye-fi cards. They are going to have a feature called direct mode that lets you send pictures directly from the camera to the phone, assumingly via wifi since that's what the cards are based on.

[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
thanks, I do love it so far very functional.
[Fascinate Accessories] Protonus:
Very novel idea, and good use of moldable plastic, very nicely written tutorial! Props!

I could see this being a nice way to have an Audio AND charging dock for a car though. Build in an audio cable as well, and buy a universal phone mount that has a removable phone holder (many do, check out semsons.com ) - mold your "dock" to the mount without the phone holder, and voila, instant car dock with audio and charging capabilities. I might give this a go sometime.

However, I would suggest that just getting the Verizon / OEM kickstand case, as a viable/easier alternative for a desk cradle - having the kickstand is like having a dock built into the phone - and IMHO it's also the best case around for our devices (and one of the best kickstand cases for any devices ever). You can get Samsung/OEM charging cords, just like stock with the funky connector, off ebay in 4' and 6' lengths for just a few $'s. I have one plugged into every one of my PC's and cars.
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
So does it go into the dock app automatically?
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
I thought about that before, I decided to build the dock because I wanted to stop messing with wires. the dock just sits there ready to go, all I have to do is slide my phone. best example, the other night I realized I forgot to dock my phone, it was one of those times where you were about to fall sleep and you realize you forgot something, normally you will have to fing the cord and try to plug it in to your phone, in the dark is not the easiest thing to do specially if all you want to do is go back to sleep, with out even looking I reached over grabbed my phone and docked it, that simple. I really like not having to grab the usb cord and plug it to my phone. to me that is worth the effort.

I do agree with you that the case with the kickstand is one of the best, too bad I already spend 20 on my seidio case.
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
sorry i didnt get back to you sooner, kinda busy these last couple of days.

to answer your question, no it does not go to the clock app or dock app, if anyone knows what I could to to make it do that please let me know. thanks
[Fascinate Accessories] elijahblake:
there's several people trying to figure this out... I remember one was even going to buy a dock and tear it apart, never heard anything else about that...

Someone tried magnets, but said that didn't work..

So it looks like it's probably something built into the actual dock..

Guess you may could get someone to write an app that makes the desk app auto open when your phone is plugged in and tilted in an angle???? (prob only work if rooted though) I'm talking about stuff way over my head, so..
[Fascinate Accessories] Pfredd:
The official dock probably has one of the pins on the usb connector shorted out or connected to the 5v power to tell the phone that it's docked...

Sent from my Samsung Fascinate
[Fascinate Accessories] jonagpa:
that's exactly what I thought but with one having the OEM dock its hard to tell, if someone that owns a dock and has a multimeter could they check continuity between pins and give us the info we might be able to figure it out.
