Try other USB cables, try ports directly on your motherboard in the back, try another computer, try reinstalling the drivers, try typing out your words and being a little more clear, you are talking about your 500$ phone, not texting in class... not to be mean, but cmon... that was literally hard to read... I must be getting old. Oh, and have you tried getting your epic drunk? your PC will look better after that and that may just get the job done. No, seriously, read the threads relating to Odin'ing and the 'one click root' as they both have every imaginable way your phone and computer can not see each other. Get a snack, they're a long read, and that was a month ago...

Disclaimer: not responsible if you actually attempt to put alcohol into your phone.

Also, Schizo is right, that cable is junk, only use it for charging!
[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
I've noticed the cable that comes with the phone is crap. After a few days of use I also had this issue. Your best bet is to use a third party cable.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I actually bought a shorter cable and my computer only recognizes my phone with the STOCK longer cable. It won't recognize the one I bought.
[Nook Color General] MkFly:
As I understand it, the Amazon shopping app is only available on the US Android Market.

I'm in the US anyway (I suppose the Nook doesn't know that), but I installed Market Enabler and set it to T-Mobile US (also tried Verizon US).

Force closed the Market and cleared it's cache, but the Amazon app still doesn't show up.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] Moorfrost:
I don't know if it's because it a B&N device but I could not get it to install from the market, so I had to find the apk and install it that way. It updates normally but getting it on there in the first place meant tracking down that pesky apk.
[Nook Color General] waxlabo:
download appbrain along with fast web installer, you will be able to find and install the official amazon app from there. :)
[Nook Color General] MkFly:
I downloaded and installed the APK from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4268726&postcount=5

Which works, but how do I update it? I'm guessing they're past v1.0.0 by now ...

EDIT: Tried AppBrain, which shows v1.0.6, but won't update when it tries to via the Android Market app: "The requested item could not be found." Fast Web Installer tells me that Google disabled it's ability to function with the latest Market updates.

I did find v1.0.6 is here though: http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/ho...or-requested-item-could-not-be-found-message/

Still doesn't help with updates to the app though. :(

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasty64:
When I first rooted I found some instructions to speed up Nandroid backups and restores by telling it not to display the filenames while it backed up and restored. I can't find it now -- can anyone point me to how to do that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastditch:
I dont see how not displaying the filenames would speed the process up, its not actually using more clock cycles to not display it. Its just not outputing the IO to the screen but its still being dumped.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzlobo:
It's in the configuration menu.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasty64:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] diordna2:
i know that the occasional restart and sd unmounting are somehow related and as far as i can tell the 2.2.1 update fixed that problem.my question is:is it possible to get the files responsible with the sd card from the updated firmware and install them on the 2.2 so that we fix the problem without having to deal with the other"features" provided by the update?i dont want to loose the root,custom recovery and all the other things.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
2.2.1 doesn't fix the problem, changing your sdcard does.

other than that, it's merely coincidental.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] diordna2:
i saw that on another forum.everyone who had that pb and updated the firmware said that the pb is fixed.

anyway.what kind of card should we get?kingston,sandisk...?class 2,4,6,10?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
as good as you can afford.

I purchased a team 4gb class 6 and it fixed the problem.

most people however are going for the 4gb kingston class 4.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] diordna2:
my phone had no problem for about one month since i got it with the 2gb included in the package.after 1 month it started to restart/unmount the card.so how can that be a hardware problem?i want an 8gb one.i guess im going to try my luck...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
It's not software or hardware afaik, it's really the sdcard.

Seems like after getting some write cycles it starts bugging the crap out of itself.

Logic behind this deduction:

If it was software: it would probably be fixed with 2.2.1 & it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard.

If it was hardware: it wouldn't be fixed with another sdcard nor 2.2.1.

If it was the sdcard itself: it wouldn't be fixed with 2.2.1 and would be fixed with another sdcard. (this is what happens)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] diordna2:
thank you,Noejn for all the help.i got a class 6 one.hopefully that will work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
Just buy a 8gb class 6 sd card and it is fixed.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfarrugia:
Hi,

I just bought a second hand HD2 which looked like it was in great condition. Unfortunately its Sim locked but the vendor told me its easy to get it unlocked online. The codes I bought didnt unlock it and I have already tried four times and the unlock people assure me that i am probably putting in the wrong code as theres is 100% guaranteed to work. Will it permanently lock after the fifth as I have read in some places as its not clear, and would it be possible to unlock at a shop via some other method?

The rest of the phone works fine but while seeing if I could upgrade my phone I realised I cannot acces bootloader (holding down volume while pressing power). I have tried time and time again but it just turns on normally immiediatly showing the htc logo etc even though i hold down the volume as hard as i can the whole time.

I dont think anyone has ever had this behaviour on a phone and the volume button works fine (as its booting up it puts the volume down)

When turning on I get the following in red in the bottom left corner if thats any help.

2.05. 51.05_2

15.28.50.07U

1.48.479.1(71294)

Thanks anyone

Never had any experience with locked HD2.. Maybe this could help in case you're doing it wrong http://hyfeno.com/how-to-unlock-htc-hd2/

Also, it would be great if you specify what carrier is your phone locked to.. People from this forum could help :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfarrugia:
Thanks, managed to unlock my sim using mobilex but still a problem with entering bootloader mode, at least I found a cab to enter bootloader but no way of doing so holding down volume rocker while powering up! It just boots normally, and although I have read other people also cant access bootloader this way have not found out why or what you can do to fix the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElaineD:
I don't mean to disparage you in any way, but are you sure you are starting with the phone completely off? Hold down the on/off button until a screen appears with 4 choices on it. The top one is power off... tap it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfarrugia:
Hi thanks for your reply, I was always starting with the phone of, but have found a way to go into bootloader (finally). Maybe it will work for others with this problem but bascially turn off the phone, pull the battery out, maybe wait for a few seconds and hold volume down and put the battery in, and then literarally just tap the power button, and finally i have managed to get into bootloader, so will be trying android or maybe wp7 without the great fear i had of bricking my device because i could not get into bootloader.

[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
I have discovered a big flaw today in my samsung tablet, running JM2 Froyo 2.2!

I received a SMS, my device was LOCKED (for privacy). But when the SMS arrived the device turned on, and, even if still LOCKED, it showed the content of SMS...this is not acceptable to me.

Is there a workaround? An additional settings?

I use the default Messanging.

2.

If of any help, I can unistall the default tool (messaging) and install Handcent SMS, but will this fix my issue? Again, I wish that NO SMS appear on display if in LOCKED mode (password protected mode)

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
If any of you can suggest a SMS application which fix this issue, I will appreciate to hear!

[Galaxy Tab General] heru:
There is an option in the setting for notification (Messaging -> Menu -> Setting). Have you try that option?
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
Dear Heru

I am checking...

I have only 3 settings enabled (NOT greyed):

1. delete old messages

2. auto-retrieve

3. Notifications (display message notification in status bar)

This 3rd one is NOT the culprit, since what it does is to display an icon in the top bar.

I have disabled it, but still I receive SMS full text (clearly visible by everyone) even in "locked passport-protected" mode.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks for your help!

Saulo866
[Galaxy Tab General] BuglessFan:
If you install Handcent (maybe ChompSMS or others do it too), you can disable the popups altogether (locked or not). Both are free on the Market. Handcent also lets you set a security pattern to open texts (again regardless of whether the phone is locked) that also applies when you try to get to them via the stock Messaging app.

I have no idea for Chomp, but for Handcent, the setting is under Settings -> Notification Settings. There you can clear the checkbox if you never want the popups (only notification bar will be set off), and if you leave it enabled you have a subscreen for settings that will let you say whether you want it to turn on the screen, dim it, enable privacy mode (means you need to do the unlock pattern before any message details are shown in notifications), and a bunch of other customizations, including the "Show When Locked" which you can clear meaning that if you have any popups after all the other settings, it will remain "hidden" until you unlock the phone.

There have been aggravating issues in the past with sending MMS image files, but lately, I've had none, and am pleased overall with Hancent which is a pretty big upgrade over the default app.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
Thanks a lot dear Buglessfan!

I will definetely use handcent SMS

Questions:

1. Do I need to unistall the stock messaging application?

2.if so, do you recommend to me use Titanium Backup Pro (which I have)?

It has a funzion called freeze, which i think is something like unistall but with the option of reversing it

Thanks and waiting

Saulo
[Galaxy Tab General] BuglessFan:
I *think* it still needs the stock app to exist in the background, but they have a web site with their own forums and support, so I'm sure you can find out there. IIRC it's bbs.handcent.com or the like. If you have Titanium backup you could freeze it to try, or just uninstall it (after backing it up first). The cool thing is if you have both installed it still provides whatever added security you enable, the stock app isn't a back door.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
I have used Handcent exclusively for quite awhile. You cannot uninstall the native messaging ap. (or at least you dont need to).

You can create a security lock specifically for Handcent and apply it to both Handcent and the native ap.

Then cancel the retrieval and notifications for the native ap. and all you will get are the Handcent notifications. If the tab is locked, you will get the notification sound, and the icon in the task bar and nothing else. Then unlock the device, and then unlock Handcent and read the message.

In my opinion, its a very secure way to receive SMS.
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
Thanks to both of you.

Dear Carlsbad: I have followed your instructions and now hadcent behaves exactly as I wished: no pop-ups are shown when a new SMS arrives.

I wonder if I can also disable the sound (triggered when a SMS arrives): the setting for disabling sound are in handcent? Or in the phone provider settings?

Thanks a lot!

Saulo

By the way: are you in Carlsbad in Orange County (close to San Diego)? I was there in 2007...very wonderful location!
[Galaxy Tab General] BuglessFan:
If you just disable all notification in the stock messenging app, then, yes only the settings for Handcent matter, and the settings there are pretty rich, including custom sound, no sound, no vibration, particular vibration patterns, no led, custom LED color, et cetera.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
Im glad it worked out for you! Yes you can modify the notification sound settings directly in Handcent.

Yes, I am in Carlsbad, CA. Actually its North San Diego County.

Take care!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Wanted to replace ROM to HD but after 2 days, I'm still having problems.

First used Gparted to convert my SD card: 1GB ext4 + the rest is Fat32.

Did that, but after that, unable to install any rom.

So, I used partition minitool and converted to ext3 (there is no option there for ext4). After that, I was able to install HD roms. But, as many mentioned, for speed, I need ext4. so, tried with unrevoked to flash Amon-ra without success. Tried with terminal, also without success.

Few months ago, I rooted my desire with unrevoked and now it has clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1. I wanted amon-ra to convert to ext4 but in every way unable to flash it.

Please, I know that there are many threads about but after reading and trying almost every solution, still can't install roms when I make ext4 with Gparted and also unable to flash amon ra recovery.

I have desire with Hboot 0.80 factory unlocked. Used for past few months Leedroid but have time now to switch to another rom and struggling for 2 days now.

Thank for help.

Lior
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You have to be much more specific. There are like 100 errors you can get when running unrevoked. Give us the error and we can help you further.

But the part what I don't get is why you want a ext4? Most roms use ext2, ext3 and ext4 and it makes really no noticiable difference in speed. So stick to ext3 and you should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
unrevoked got stucked in rebooting (it writes it and just stuck there after flash).

Yesterday, I got sd card read only after doing ext4 with Gparted on 3 different HD roms. So, I formatted, checked for errors and fixed.

when I make an ext4 partition and trying to install rom, it says something about ext error line 6 on 3 different roms that I tried to install.

I wouldn'z bother so much but read that some HD roms need ext4.

And, no matter how I tried, I can't flash amon ra recovery.

also, does it ok that when I put it in recovery from off, the clockworkmod version is 2.5.0.1 and not 7 or 9 ?

I read a lot good things about amon-ra but really gave up after not doing any progress in 2 days.

for now, I installed RCMixHD rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You don't need EXT4 at all, EXT3 is fine
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
So after struggling with HD roms, I turned back and went back to leedroid 2.2a but with 1gb ext3 partition instead of 512mb ext2.

Now I have left only 25mb for apps without installing anything. How can I increase this storage?

Can you suggest if it worth switch to amon-ra recovery?

Which rom can you suggest for best stability, speed without loose htc sense ?

Do hd roms really much better vs usual like leedroid?

Thank you for the help.

Noob question related to Post # 5 ^

Can custom ROMs be interchanged among HTC phones? Ex: Desire HD Custom flashed onto a Desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedkimchi:
Hope this helps?

Perhaps you could try with another sd card?

1) Put all the necessary files onto the new card.

2) Wipe everything.

3) Root it again using unrevoked, use clockworkmod.

4) Install rom manager and use it to partition sd card. its automatic.

5) Flash new rom, i'm using Oxygen rom froyo stable. It works very well.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You are still not very specific. What is your OS? What is the version of unrevoked that you use? Tell me the exact steps that you took. Every step of the way.

1. You have to installl HTC sync. Then after you installed it, remove it from your pc.

2. Load the drivers from the unrevoked site.

3. Disconnect your phone and run unrevoked, then select custom image.

4. Connect your phone and let it run.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
I downloaded the latest unrevoked from their site. Tried to flash amon ra in windows xp after uninstalling htc sync. It started to flash and after that wrote 'waiting for rebooting '. The desire rebooted but nothing changed and unrevoked just stuck writing that line.

Few months ago as I bought the desire, I rooted it with unrevoked and put leedroid 2.2a. Since then, not changed anything. Recovery is clockworkmod 2.5.0.1

as I see it now, it more smooth after ext 3.

If I don't need ext 4 why few rom authors say that I need it?

S-on if it make any difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
There are no roms that I know of that will say that your need ext4, only that it is supported.

After you uninstalled htc sync, did you install the unrevoked drivers?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Yes. I installed the drivers from unrevoked site.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
And you turned usb debugging on and selecter that it should be remembered?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Yes, of course. For now, I'm unable to do anything because the htc sync corrupted my xp + 7 dual boot hard drive and I'm restoring the pc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
I'm sorry, but that is impossible. HTC Sync, a lightweight Windows application cannot corrupt Windows OS, nor the hard disk. It isnt a virus!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
After uninstalling it with revo uninstaller and restarted the pc, it stayed stuck in login to windows. I'm not happy neither to reinstall 2 operation systems + recover all data.

it probably corrupted the registry.

But this is not the point.
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Hi im looking for a file manager that can launch an .apk file that I have compressed into a .rar archive.

Astro Manager can do this for zip files but rar is a much better archive and has higher compression.

Does anybody know of one that is compatible with rar and can launch it "directly" from the archive, and not just extract it somewhere and you have to then manually launch it.
[Android Apps and Games] snark_be:
I don't know any file manager with RAR support built-in.

But there are 2 apps for RAR archives in the Market: Unrar and Unrar Pro.

So at least you can unrar the archive and then install the APK with a file manager (Astro, ES File Manager, ...).

Edit

: well I missed the last part of your message : "not just extract it somewhere and you have to then manually launch it". Sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Yeah bud, You see that's the prob, the only ones ive found are ones that have to extract somewhere and then you manually launch it.

What im looking for is same functionality as zip has with Astro where yu can launch the apk directly from inside a zip file. It will extract it first in background and then automatically launch for you so the extracted file stays in cache or some temporary folder.

Hopefully winrar will release an official app at some point or somebody releases a solution :(
[Android Apps and Games] snark_be:
Maybe ask to the team of one of the existing file managers if they can add support for RAR, instead of having yet another file manager, only for RAR.
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
I have done.

I was simply asking if there was currently one available in the mean time.

Hopefully ASTRO will integrate rar support, its by far the best file manager ive used.
[Android Apps and Games] snark_be:
Then you have not tried ES File Manager :-)
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Yes I have.

It doesnt do what im asking.

[edit] Infact ive just tried it again and it doesnt even support rar archives at all, it cant extract or load from them.

What im looking for is a program that can launch a spk fiel from within an archive. There are many managers that can extract files from them but what im looking for is something that extracts in background to temp files and launches the file directly via the archive when viewing, Just like Astro does with zip files but for rar.
