[General Questions and Answers] boredfool:
so i just bought a mytouch 3g slide on craigslist and the guy had the mod on it. Stupid me tried to take off the cyanogen mod 7, and uknowningly i screwed up. This is the problem - whenever I turn on the phone it boots up to the load screen and just keeps spinning, and it just keeps on spinning unless interrupted by a call or text, and once the conversation is over, im left on a blank screen with no apps or menu button, or any buttons what so ever, i tried rebooting and doing a reset

sorry if i posted in the wrong place i just need help asap thank you
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Can you access the bootloader? (Usually a combination of keys like Power+Volume Down, or something similar).

If you still have a custom recovery on there you could flash either a CM ROM or Stock ROM (if you can find one), from the SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] boredfool:
ok yeah loaded the boot loader and now it loads all the way through when i turn on the phone, but now i have no android app market, or the google login thing, any way to get this stuff back?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
I would flash a new ROM from recovery. Either another custom ROM or a Stock one if you can source one for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] ugly_bob:
You'll need to download the google apps zip file from the cyanogen website and then put it on your sd card. Flash amon_ra recovery and then use the "flash zip from sd card" option and select the gapps zip file.

The reason they have to do this separately is apparently due to copyright issues being that google owns the market and gmail etc so developers can't include it in their roms.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] _PeTiT_:
Hello mates,

I used the key combo [VOL-]+[HOME]+[POWER] to enter in recovery mode on my Optimus One and I had a big bad surprise: black screen and android icon with green arrow (classic symbol used for a system upgrade).

There was also a progress bar. I waited a few moments and then I was VERY SURPRISED when my Optimus One rebooted: it was formatted to factory settings....... :confused: :confused:

Not happy I tried another thing: using ADB I tried to enter recovery using the command "adb reboot recovery". Same as before: phone formatted to factory settings......

Not happy again, I tried another: "adb shell reboot recovery"... Same as before: formatted to factory settings......

any idea about this?

How can I enter recovery mode??

NOTE: my Optimus One is FULL original. No hacks, no modified roms, etc. 100% original settings.

thanks mates
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
Do you have a custom recovery installed ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] koblags:
Hey man, I think we have one thing in mind....

I just did this 3-button COMBO...and yes it did a FACTORY RESTART/RECOVERY

I didn't install nor put files/custom recovery ROMS, I didn't do anything...Just tried the 3-button combo...

SO, there it is...

3-button (VOL- + HOME + POWER) = FACTORY DEFAULTS...

nice way to learn
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Without rooting and custom recovery, this combo is meant for a factory reset.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _PeTiT_:
I have NO root, NO custom recovery, NO custom rom: my O1 is 100% original.

so... is there any way to enter in recovery mode without factory reset?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ruigui:
Yes there is.

Root your phone, then install recovery.

How can you do something if your phone doesn't have it?

Read and follow the very well made tutorials posted.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _PeTiT_:
I already read that ;)

My question was if I can enter the STANDARD recovery, not a modded recovery... ;)

The manual and the procedure your're speaking about are about how-to change the standard recovery...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
There is none. That's the recovery, which just restores your phone to factory state.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] _PeTiT_:
perfect !

now I know how to do.

thanks guys
[HD Mini General] sharky48:
Hi Guys,

I'm new with my HD mini, got tons of experience with other HTC devices.

I ran into a problem. How do I close an program?

Like, when I use file explorer, and I want to close it.

There is no exit in the Menu of file explorer.

And the Home, Windows and arrow button won't close it.

When I look into Task Manager, everything is still running.

Is there a way? or do I need to map the close application option to a button?

Sharky
[HD Mini General] codiak:
Some apps can be closed by the "back" button.

Others have a close-button inside the app itself or must be closed with task manager.

Did not found another solution for this.
[HD Mini General] sharky48:
Thanks codiak, but no real help there.

I tried to use AE Button Plus to map the BACK button (arrow button) to the CLOSE command, but it can't be done. Does someone have an other option to assign close to a button?
[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
i haven't found a solution so far, but i use spb mobile shell so there's a shortcut to the task manager on my home screen :)
[HD Mini General] tonx4g:
it's not THE solution either but i close thanks to 'ArkSwitch'

just have to touch the top bar and then i close programs

If you've got a faster solution, i'm interrested in.
[HD Mini General] codiak:
Not realy related to this post, but anyway:

On my old HTC Elf it was also possible to close the services via task manager. On the mini you can only view them.

Did someone found a solution for that?
[HD Mini General] zalaros:
You can have the missing X button back if you do what i've written here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6740128&postcount=9 After that you can use ameba (or any other) in order to make the X button really close the running apps. Hope i helped ;)
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Use the stock Task Manager to close apps. You can assign it to the long-press end button. So that you can bring it up from anywhere anytime. Or click the task bar, then Task Manager. You can also find it in the Start menu.

From the Task Manager list, click on the app you want to close, then click End Task softkey. Alternatively, you can click and hold the app in the Task Manager list, a shortcut menu will pop up, then click End Task.
[HD Mini General] 83schneider:
Hi,

with AEbutton plus a Taskmanager is included. I have connected this with the longpress Windows button. there you can close via touching the red cross. Not very comfortable but it works if you have AEB anyway.

Regards,

83schneider
[HD Mini General] sharky48:
Zalaros, I think you have the winning answer (for me).

There is my lovely X button again. Although it doesn't close yet. I will look into ameba.

Please post your ameba alternatives here, since I don't know any.

Funny how please "solve" this problem for their own. Thnx everyone
[HD Mini General] wensing:
ZapIt

I installed ZapIt (found here) and then copied \Windows\Start Menu\Zap IT!.exe to \Windows\EndKey.exe

It closes any program by longpressing the End key.
[HD Mini General] sharky48:
I Installed AMeBa and the Settings app by Scarecrow420 and I must say I'm a happy camper :)

Now I'm at the point of removing my task manager shortcut from my today screen, cause I don't need it anymore.

Thanks for the comment wensing, but I won't be needing it. Ameba give me more options for more buttons.
[Focus General] troyfrezze:
I recently started having an issue with my focus when I remove it from charging. The tone that is heard when you plug it in, or unplug it....it won't shut up!

I unplug it and it makes the sound, then it will contine at random. The battery icon flashes on and off showing the phone plugged in or unplugged. If I hit the power button, it just comes right back on as if I just plugged it in again. The wifi option even keeps popping up saying it's found networks.

I've tried restarting, removing the battery and even at the advice of windowsphonesupport on twitter, I have reset the phone.

I'm not sure what's causing it as it happens mostly when I unplug it from wall power. If I have it plugged into USB PC power, it takes forever to charge and doesn't seem to make as much noise.

It doesn't seem to last all day though. For example, I unplugged this morning about 7 am and it continued for about an hour or so before it just stopped.

Last I spoke to MS's twitter team, they said to take the phone back and get a replacement. Anyone else had this problem?
[Focus General] LarryWMSN:
I just had a similar issue this morning. The sound that you hear when you plug in the device kept playing over and over. It would stop when I plugged it back in to the charger, but would start right up again when I unplugged it. I also tried plugging it in to my computer and the computer didn't recognize the device.

I power cycled the phone and removed the battery many times and eventually the problem disappeared and the computer can now recognize the device. Hopefully this doesn't come up again. It would be a pain to reconfigure a new device again and lose my text messages.

Update:

It started doing it again this morning. I let it continue and it stopped after 15 minutes. Every time the sound went of my battery indicator would switch from charging to full battery even though the device wasn't connected to anything.

It might be not the right question, but I'm going to ask it and hopefully someone will answer!

I have a tablet that has android 2.1, I managed to root it and make some changes to it. My question is, can I create an image of the entire ROM on this unit and use it on another device.. I'm assuming it should be created as an image. The goal is to send it to my friend so he run an update.zip and update his unit will all changes.

Thanks in advance!

the best you can do is a titanium backup and share it with him so he has all your apps. unless its the same device it will most likely break his phone.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wizputer:
My previous phone was a Heroc and it was wrapped with an Otterbox Commuter case. I LOVED that case. It saved my phone on numerous occasions from physical trauma and liquid disasters.

Unfortunately, Otterbox doesn't have a case developed for the Evo Shift yet. Hopefully they will soon though: twitter[dot]com/OtterBox/status/24490743817052160

I'm not a fan of the fake carbon fiber of the case Sprint offers so I went with the Seidio Innocase Surface.

The case itself seems a little flimsy/thin for it's $29.99 price point. However, it does an adequate job of covering the phone. Also, there's about a 3mm lip around the screen so I don't have to worry about placing it face down. This matters to me because I'm not too fond of screen protectors. I've tried them for the iPhone and Heroc and in my opinion, they degradate the touch surface too much to justify their use. For the year I've had the Heroc, there is not a single scratch on the screen. I have the same faith in the Evo Shift now that it has a case.

After a couple days of use, the only con I can think of is that it does make it a bit harder to use the top row of the physical keyboard. I'm getting used to it, but I was definitely frustrated with the typos I would make during the first day.

UPDATE:

Per questions below:

The case feels just like the original plastic of the Shift's body, if anything it feels "softer". (That's the best adjective I can come up with to describe the difference).

Also, to completely secure the screen portion of the case, I had to slightly pry the screen up from the base to make the gap wide enough to fit the left side clips in between them. When sliding the screen, it is now noticeable stiffer due to this. I think this will be an issue with any body case for the Evo Shift, since there is no gap in the sliding mechanism normally.

I didn't notice this before, but the top right clip of the screen portion of the protector comes unclipped when closing the phone. From what I can tell, the sliding mechanism isn't as forgiving as the bottom so it can't wedge itself between the screen and the base causing it to become lose. Though more than 1 of the 4 clips would need to come undone before it would detach the screen portion of the case.

UPDATE:

I rarely use the FN/Shift so I didn't notice until it was mention below. The case does cover those lights above the keyboard.

Dimensions with case (L x W x T):

Metric: 122mm x 64mm x 20mm

Imperial: 4.8" x 2.48" x 0.79"

Dimensions without case:

Metric: 117mm x 59mm x 15mm

Imperial: 4.61" x 2.32" x 0.59"
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
Wow. I really like the look. Thanks for the pictures. I'm contemplating buying it...
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] DWake014:
Does the screen protector portion of the case feel like it is going to stay on? I had bought a case like this for my old moment and the screen part wore down in like 2-3 months and it wouldn't stay on taking it in and out of my pocket.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BuddahWolf01:
how is the texture? I like the feel of the shift's battery door, it is smooth enough to not rip your pocket out... but sticky enought to help keep it from sliding.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wizputer:
I haven't had an issues with that happening. Though I could see it being a possibility. To attach the left side of the screen portion securely, I had to slightly "pry" up the screen from the base so that the clips could attach. This does make the sliding mechanism noticeably stiffer.

It feels exactly like the original plastic, maybe a little "softer". I don't notice any difference when putting it or taking it of my pants pocket.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BuddahWolf01:
cool, thanks for the info. I'm thinking of picking one of these up. Now my main concern is if I'll be annoyed by the top row of keys not having much room. I already make most of my mistakes on the top row.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ryocho:
Thanks for the review, I was looking into getting one of these cases as well. I do have a question though. How thick is the phone with the case on?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] utcjl18:
Yeah, it definitely covers the LEDs for caps lock and function lock.

Try slightly sliding your keyboard in a tad to cover the LEDs and see if the reduced space bothers you or messes up your typing.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BuddahWolf01:
Thanks for the tip. Ill have to give that a try. Uh, I'm doing that right now, and I think I like it better this way. Is that weird?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] adamr240:
I want to get a case for mine, but my biggest concern is making the phone thicker than it already is. I don't want it to not fit in my pocket.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wardfan220:
Surprisingly the cases don't seem to make the phone much thicker. I'm still able to place the phone in the leg pocket of ky carpenter pants really easily. My Hero and my wife's Moment were both super thick with a case, but not the Shift.

anybody has a solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] silenius:
ok i answer my own question mainly for other:

this was in the energy thread

Displaying some non-English fonts: If you installed a non-English font (like Chinese) and is having issues, or if you prefer the old font used (Tahoma) than the new one (Calibri) try this fix by changing this registry entry: HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm =Tahoma or by downloading and installing this CAB. Either way, perform a soft reset afterwards.

the funny thing is i had the cab on my phone. so this time i tried by hand. and it work.

what i did:

change the registry by hand: HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm =Tahoma

soft reset

install the ricky chinese pack full db

soft reset

chinese is working there

switch back to my own local

soft reset

i am using the 16 january release.

then all good
