[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] fckndrmr:
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..

I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..

is it really true ? :(

please share this problem,,

thanks,, :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] fpatrik17:

I have a mililar problem, right side of screen wont work... flash to 2.1 dont slove this problem
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lfsupino:
Hi all!

I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!

I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!

Regards

Lucas

where do you suggest one gets an environmental chamber? :D :D :D

I have had good success with a combo of rice (inside a ziplock bag) to absorb humidity and/or a toaster over at the lowest bake setting.

Worked on MANY electronic devices over the years.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zeph:
Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !

If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task :( But if you take your time it's ok !
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaryon:
Hi all,

Newbie Archos 70 250Gb owner here - back with Archos after a long period in the iPod wilderness :)

I'm generally pleased with the A70 but there's one thing which is a bit of a showstopper for me at the moment. I specifically bought the A70 with the big disk because I'm a music junkie - I have 150Gb or so of mp3s, and I add 3-4 albums per month.

I've copied all my music to the A70's hard disk (something like 22,000 songs), but the media scanner has only found a small fraction of them. I can sit and watch it run, and it gets to about 3200 files before quitting. This is repeatable - if I rerun "update multimedia library" it never gets beyond this point.

Anyone got any clues as to how I can track down the problem? I'm wondering if I have one dodgy mp3 which is causing it to fail perhaps? Without knowing which one it is, it's going to be tough to fix this - I can't manually remove each one of 22,000 files and keep retrying! Are there some system logs somewhere I can check?

I beginning to wonder if I'm going to have to roll my own media scanner - I'm an experienced Java programmer but very light on Android skills so it might take me a while.. so I'd rather not if I don't have to - I'm not even sure if I get that level of access to the system.

Keith.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraken88:
According to several folks over at the ArchosFans forums, the media scanner has a problem with tracks that have a "#" symbol in the name. Since I cannot post links yet, go to forum dot archosfans dot com, and search for "media scan hash pound #" and that should take you to the right thread.

That said, a custom media scanner might not be such a bad thing; it seems to be a source of unhappiness for a number of folks.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerrieMan:
Hi,

Same problem here, i found that doing a 'rebuild media database from scratch' option in repair&fornatting menu did eventually (after about 1day of scanning) found all my files.

Be sure to keep your archos awake during the scan, use for example the pictureframe app so the device stays awake.

Hope this helps
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaryon:
Thanks guys - that's two things to try, I'll let you know how I get on.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaryon:
Status update: clearing out the media library and re-running the scan didn't work - it still fails, and this time leaves me with an empty library.

So, i rolled a very simple scanning app, which I can point at a single directory (i.e. a single artist). It imports some things fine, but guess what - when importing files with a "#" in them the media scanner apparently falls over - silently, unfortunately, nothing gets reported to my little app when it happens. The thread referenced above also mentions issues where the "artist" tag doesn't match the "album artist" tag - I'll keep an eye open for those too.

This is the built-in Android media scanning service that is failing, as far as I can tell - it's not clear to me if Archos modified it or not, but it's pretty shoddy not being able to handle a valid filename.

So, I'm going to keep going with my little app (maybe this thread needs to move to the dev forum?) but right now the best I can make it do is to not scan files with a hash in them, or perhaps rename the files on disk (but that would really screw up my synch mechanism, as I don't want to have to rename a whole bunch of stuff in iTunes which I also use..)

This is all disappointing - I was an early adopter of Archos stuff with a JB6000 and JBR20 (still got it somewhere!) back in the day and they've always been pretty decent at the music side of things - this is not what I would expect from them and makes it difficult for me to know what to do next as this is my primary use of the device...

EDIT: for info: the # problem only occurs with the filename, not the tags - so renaming the file appears to solve the problem while leaving the tags intact - I'll go down that route for a bit, see if I can fix things that way.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaryon:
20,000 song limit(!)

So it turns out that the scanning problem is all about hash symbols in filenames - once I removed all the hash symbols from file names the scan got all the way to the end, but hung on "Finishing scan" indefinitely. I realised I still had playlist files referencing the original filenames with hashes. Once I got rid of those, the scan completed just fine, but presented me with this:

Maximum multimedia library size reached: Only the first 20000 audio files have been indexed​

Well that's a bit of a showstopper isn't it. I'm struggling to understand why someone would ship what is basically an enhanced media player with 250Gb of space, and then restrict the media library so you can't make use of it all. Even my iPod Classic 160Gb can take more songs than that!

I'll take this over into the developers forum to see if there's any way around this limit - I'm assuming it won't be anything simple. Argh!

[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
Hey guys. I plan on using the NC for 75% tablet and 25% e-reader. Now I'm more likely to read magazines then books. Which app is better for magazines? Which has a better selection? So far of course theres Nook, then Kindle, and I was just reading about zinio.

If it helps, my preference in mags are Maxim, SI, and other stuff like that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
The title says it all! ;)

I am up for making an Ultimate theme for the x10 Mini/Pro also with draco_ag alongside!, so what I want to know is your opinions about what you would like in a theme.. black statusbar, white statusbar?, reboot mod, percentage battery? etc your thoughts will be very useful as they will play a part in this project.

It would be great! if you could post some themes/concepts that you would want ported, me and draco will then decide out of them which should be the next Ultimate theme for the Mini/Pro and if needed we will start a poll of 3-5 best themes that were posted, we'll run the poll for a while and at the end we will create the ultimate theme :D

Don't forget, we are doing this for you guys so please share your thoughts and comment!

_________________________

On another note, I've added two themes that I have created (this not the ultimate theme :p) please vote on which you think is best and I will release :)

Windows Vista Theme:

iOS/Mac Theme:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fuster92:
i was looking for a white theme (all themes are so dark to me) and iOS/Mac looks great, but i hate that apple LOL(nothing personal)

thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draco_ag:
We are awating for a suggestions :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
Yes thats just the dock not part of the theme ^.^ and as draco_ag said we are looking for your opinions about the ultimate theme, if you have any themes in mind post them or something
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fuster92:
i think something like iOS theme could be successfull, with a white droid :D xD
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
Then vote :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
please dont use OS themes... ~_~

how bout a symbian layout?

^^___^^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] norrie2204:
i,ve seen a theme called carbon glow in the market i think the icons and colouring are awsome,im sure you guys will do an awsome job and cant wait to see the end product... reboot mod and batt status are essential,also if all icons in status bar were the same colour i think would look great,eg time,battery,alarm icon etc all same colour,,cheers guys and cant wait, oh and greetings from the north manny ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
@hehe13

I just did that on my themes :p its not going to happen on the ultimate ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] neomodus:
norrie2204 already wrote what I would like to see in a theme.

And when it's two great theme makers like Manny and draco_ag working

together the result can only be spectacular.

Looking forward to see the result.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KreAch3R:
Your themes are awesome guys, there are not a lot of things to talk about.:o What I would like to see more in future theme creations is CHOISES. Let me explain what I mean. There are so many modifications that you can do to the framework right now (colors, fonts, bootanimations, transitions, power button/battery mods etc) that in many cases I happen to like some parts of one theme and some other parts from another.:p So, my suggestion to you is, make a generic black/white theme (without any brand on it) and then you can play with the secondary colors, to add diversity. After that, provide the themes with all the options available (with battery mod but without power button mod, for instance).

I know that it is a lof of work, but I think that if any theme should be could ultimate, would be something that everyone could and would like to use.

Continue your hard work.:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
suggestion, if youll be using MS themes, can you use Win7, semi-transparent frames?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] micjoh:
exactly what i was thinking :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
it is posible to chnage the default icons in the app drawer? [not in the homescreen]
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricav:

since you guys asked our opinion, here's something that i find awesome:

hopefully it'll serve as inspiration

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ziest:
very nice, I must say. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Well.. since you asked..

My thoughts are don't screw with the icons too much.. (it makes a good theme look bad when you install other app's with non modified icons, so best to leave them alone)

I like a lot of the stuff in your Xtreme theme (the setup menu's with the coloured icons are sweet) but it needs a little android in the corner of the transparent pull down notification bar.. (perhaps modified to suit the theme?)

The round battery icon found in some themes is nice,I prefer the white to green but perhaps play with the idea but come up with something original?

I like the colourfulsettings.apk that Shiven included in his Gingerbread theme, to replace the standard boring settings menu.

perhaps incorporate a nice launcher like Launcher Pro but include your own themed dock bar..

a colour that goes with everything.. apart from that.. anything goes :)

I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!

How did you unlock it before? If you were given the unlock code/proceedure before, it should still be the same since those codes are based off the phone's IMEI/serial number.

[Epic 4G General] drjonesok:
Google released android 2.1 in January 2010, 128 days later they released android 2.2 aka froyo.

The Epic 4G was released over 128 days ago. This means samsung has spent more time trying to figure out how to install froyo on their hardware than Google spent writing the original software. Heck of a job samsung!
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
LOL that's an awesome observation

I really wish google would just handle the software.

How do windows phone 7 phones update? Do the oems push the software or microsoft?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Nice very rough comparison.

I don't know how accurate it is, though. I work in a software company and we have multiple projects going at once. By the time we release, say, 9.3 to the clients, 9.4 had already been in development for several months. In the case of our 9.3r3 (latest release), we had already been working on 10.0 for two years.

So, at the very least, that's the minimum time they've been working on 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
This is very similar in the automotive industry as well.

The engineers are working on projects that won't see streets for 3 years.

the new cars you get today took 3 years to engineer, tool, test, etc. before they're actually 'in' production.

Although it's a new car, it's already old LOL
[Epic 4G General] drjonesok:
It is a rough comparison but I consider it a benchmark more than anything. If you can't get the current version working before the next major release you know there is something seriously wrong.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Lol hilarious post! Nice responses too. It's only funny to me now because I'm using dk28 with a rom. It was NOT funny before then :D
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
But remember, the previous one was started months earlier too... so if there are X days between releases, X days for development isn't an unreasonable guess.

Not that any of this is necessary though, for these companies to take more than a month to update devices with ads on primetime TV is pathetic and negligent.

About xml editing, I downloaded a free xml editor (editiX - xmleditor) and when I try opening those xml files Im not seeing any codes along what you put. Do I need a different type of xml editor for the android xmls?

EDIT: Ok so I found the AXMLprinter2.jar method but it doesnt work on the keyguard files. Any assistance?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jj702561:
ohh... forgot to tell you to decompile huh....

when working with apks, its just easier to do it if you have decompiled it, use apk manager or something like that and you can find plenty of information about them in the forums(so im not going to repeat anything here because im lazy like that, lol)...

for editing i use notepad++

then once done, recompile 'em
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DarkestSpawn:
Is there a seperate tool that recompiles the xmls back? cause i get an error using apk manager.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
If you are recompiling a system apk within apkmanager there is an option (i think 10 to use dependency apk to decompile and use the moto-res.apk a as a dependency (if on stock moto rom) then make sure you recompile as a system apk. If you try to recompile as a regular apk it wont build correctly.

Hope this helps a little =)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DarkestSpawn:

Hi everebody!!!:)

Device called the Peek site

peek9_com

can only receive / send email, witter, facebook. There is no possibility of voice calls (connections) in hardware.

Is currently working on Nucleos OS by Mentor, plus the private GUI of the firm's Reek inc.

Need to port to Linux. Evaluate the possibility of porting.

Work is already underway on

peeklinux_com

elinux_org

Problem: the producer (manufacturer) has promised to support the porting (access to gprs module, etc.), but later a support shut up and no longer responds.

In reality this is the case: the device is not locked, but to use it to login on their server (via sim T-Mobile US).

Accordingly, you write off a certain amount of money from the 10 - to 20 dollars per month, depending on the chosen tariff plan.

That is tied to the server from the company Peek.

Works with gmail, aol, windows mail, but through their intermediary server.

Has push mail.

In the States is working very badly, all complaining about the quality of communication, tech support.

Profit device is cheap, simple (only email, twitter, facebook,sms.)

He's been at it for a while

It seems that substantial progress has been made in that he has been able to run programs through a new kernel, just not the ones that involve the cell radio or wifi...is that the consensus?
[Droid X General] Matt4542:
Let me clear this up. There is something called kexec which tricks your phone into thinking the stock kernel is there even though you put a new kernel into place in the simplest terms. It isn't an unlock. I doubt there will be an unlock for a long while. If birdman wasn't able to do it then I'm not sure others can. Birdman is wicked smart.

So is this basically a kernel module? Which from my understanding is already in place or is actually replacing the kernel?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Yes, its essentially a layer for a second kernel to be passed. It does not replace the in place kernel, just allows ignores the first, and boots another...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Haven't read up on kexec's exact working process... but having been following aliasxerog.

Major props to the man for sticking with this!
[Droid X General] Coderedpl:
It sounds like it would do the same thing as if the original kernel was to "replaced"

if its ignored, and another one used, should be same thing essentially right?
