Anyone have any experience with this?

From what I've read, if an app is over 20mb it will not download using the cellular data service and instead insist you use wifi, or plug in to the PC.

But what do you do when you do not have WiFi available? It says 'Connect to a Wi-Fi network or connect your phone to your PC to complete the download' - but it does nothing when it's plugged in to the computer. Can leave it plugged in to the PC, with it synced to Zune (or not) for 30 minutes and nothing happens to the download, even if it's initiated in Zune.

Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something I'm supposed to tell it to do when it's plugged in to the PC? When it's synced with Zune you can't access the marketplace on the phone, and there's no 'Download Status' in Zune. As far as I can tell, Zune's not trying to download the app.

Basically, I'm trying to use option B - 'or connect to a PC', as there is no Wi-Fi network at my home or for miles. I'm aware of the bug where you can start it on Wi-Fi and let if finish using cellular data, but I shouldn't have to drive 20 minutes to Starbucks every time I want to download a larger app when the error message even indicates there's another option.

Any Zune / WP7 gurus here that can help with this? I'm an Android guy and a little lost when it comes to Zune/WP7, it's my gf's phone
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I think you just have to go to the item, long press to get to the context menu, and then hit retry. I don't think it automatically attempts again once the network connection changes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rabeatz:
Done that. With these large apps (over 20mb) it repeatedly does the same thing. It's got 3g the whole time - it just refuses to use it to download it using 3g. It will say pending for a moment when you hit retry, and then give that error until you connect it to WiFi, at which point you can retry and it will download. So far the only way I've successfully downloaded apps of this type (monopoly, need for speed, etc) is using a wi-fi connection at a public location.

I'm trying to figure out how to do it the other way the error message claims is possible - connecting it to a PC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Yeah, I just spent some time trying it out with my wifi off. Doesn't seem to be cooperating...

May want to try the Windows Phone support Twitter tomorrow: http://twitter.com/#!/winphonesupport

There has to be a way, it would be pretty damn ridiculous if it actually required wifi.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rabeatz:
Tweeted it just now w/ a link to this thread. But I'm not a twitter guy, I have an account, not really sure how it works and don't ever log in to it. So we'll see where that leads me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
If you dont hear anything from them, may want to try tomorrow during business hours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
You should be able to go into the marketplace via Zune and click on the app. Click to install and then it will instruct you to connect your device. It should download and install to the device. Give it ample time to do so as it's not immediate, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zhwen:
At this time, Wifi is required to download apps bigger than 20MB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] apc_monk:
I could never ever get an app to update via synching with the Zune software after many tries. I just had to do the download over Wifi.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rabeatz:
What I got from my conversation from @WinPhoneSupport is that if you start the download on the phone (not through the Zune software on your computer), you MUST complete it using WiFi, even though the error message says 'or connect it to a PC'. They somewhat hinted that it's possible to download an app through the zune software on the PC, didn't really go into too much on that side of things, but also confirmed that there's no way to check the status of a download in the Zune software. Sooo, you're supposed to just plug in the phone, and blindly guess when the download is complete, and if you're wrong, you've got to go find a Wi-Fi network.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kpmblue7:
One thing you could try... no promises... but (at least on Zune HD) when you connect the device to your PC via a USB cable (but close the Zune software) the device will get an Internet connection from the PC. This is done via some USB standard whose name I can't remember. It only works if the Zune software is closed.

This might work on WP7 and give you phone an Internet connection via USB. You could then go to the downloads list on your phone, tap and hold on the download that's frozen, cancel it. And then search it again and try to download.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rabeatz:
I tried that but when I closed Zune it started looking for drivers and couldn't find any. No clue where to download them. Windows 7 32bit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mcorrie1121:
With your phone connected to your PC, search for the app thru the Zune marketplace (on the PC). When you download it with the PC, it will go straight to your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rabeatz:
Tried that as well but since theres no download status theres no way to tell when the app Is finished/installed, no.way to tell how large the file is and if it is downloading at 2kbps or 250kbps,.so you've got to blindly guess when its done and lf youre wrong and disconnect it you've got to start all over.

Tried downloading the monopoly trial using that method on a pc w a 20mbps connection, no way to tell if it was even downloading, it just said it would appear on the phone shortly. After 20 min the phone was disconnected, checked the marketplace and monopoly was sitting there in downloads w the error message

yea im having trouble downloading Sims 3. I have the same problem. I thought I was the only person.
[Epic 4G General] lmsomb:
I've only had my phone for a couple weeks and the "menu" key on the slide out keyboard.. is falling off. the keys seem to simply be glued onto the keyboard. What do you guys recommend? does this fall under some kind of warranty? any suggestions to fix/replace key/qwerty/phone are appreciated. THanks
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
If it's less than 30 days, I would just bring it back to the store... or contact whoever you bought it from.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
If you have insurance just bring it back and exchange it.. after checking out the keys on me it seems like it would take a pretty good tug to get them off, looks like more then just glue.

Anywho if you don't have insurance there is a 30 day return or a mfgr warranty if you can prove you didn't do it yourself by treating it to rough or something..
[Epic 4G General] lmsomb:
i might just have to return it i guess... It came off pretty easily, i mean is stil glued in one corner so I avoid using the slide out as much as i can... and now i discovered that there's something wrong with the screen.... around the center of the screen there is no "touch" I. E when i turn it landscape to type with the touch keyboard i can't press the "Y" I downloaded an app to check it and it "jumps" when i touch in that area, there is no response... would this have to be dealt with by sprint or samsung?
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
I've had two do it. I rarely use the he keyboard too.
[Epic 4G General] lmsomb:
yeah so i just got a new phone since i've only had the phone for about a week...
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I got my phone from BestBuy Mobile, they have an incredible insurance plan, it's $10 a month, but covers EVERYTHING, even accidental damage (GF if I break it while rooting). Replacement is free of charge, no $100 down or hidden fees.
[Epic 4G General] budderocks:
Return it

Return it, it is under 30 days...have them give you a new one. You spent good money on the phone and shouldn't have to have a sub-standard phone. Don't settle for them fixing it, demand a new one if they try to just fix it for you.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah you just have to.wait 30 days for.them to fix it.

[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
As far as the Epic goes, TEP is great, either they give you the shell (everything but the mainboard) or a whole new phone... if they want you to wait for a shell to come in 3-5 days, depending on the fail, you can usually get them to swap for a brand new phone. They kept the battery and accessories :( but still, new phone... no repairs you might have to worry about... Samsung deals with that crap.

im having the same problem, from what i understand it should be a service provider problem (since we are both rogers, this makes sense) and it started happening to me on wednesday (similar time as u i assume?) but on the otherhand, i only started getting it after i installed steve's 1.7 so not sure what the cause is but time fix does fix it though a more permanent one would be better if it is software. i plan to call and ask rogers this weekend.

K thanks yall ....i was thought I was trippin out or something

[Captivate General] CLShortFuse:
Not all phones can be overclocked safely. Not all CPUs can handle overclocking. If you've ever overclocked a computer CPU, you'd know that no two CPUs are exactly the same.

Well, my Captivate heats up a lot, quickly. It heats up so much that the screen literally CRACKED. After using Screencast w/ Droid VNC, I've managed to backup with Titanium Backup and I'm ODIN flashing back to stock.

I'm trying to get it fixed by Samsung...

We'll see if I can say it's because of the phone overheating that I can get it covered (I didn't drop it for it to crack like that).

I know I'm warning overclockers, but the funny thing is, I didn't use an overclocked kernel (Cognition 3.04). This happened with stock speed!
[Captivate General] slayp00n:
First off wrong forum... Second off their is no way the phone could get hot enough to crack this glass unless it had defective regulation or the glass was damaged.

Gorilla glass is tempered in a special way, it is tougher then pyrex, thermal shock would not crack this glass.
[Captivate General] CLShortFuse:
"No way"?

It's not the gorilla glass. The glass is in fine condition. It's the digitizer/amoled screen under the glass. The heat comes from the CPU.

Plus, I'm not the first one:

[Captivate General] slayp00n:
Something is seriously wrong with any phone that could get that hot, My phone never breaks the mid forties, even while charging and tethering.
[Captivate General] goob1284:
Hottest I ever gotten was 114°F. And im at 1.4. Its gotten worst but that was at 1.6 and I let it freeze so I can drain the battery, but damb was ut hot
[Captivate General] CLShortFuse:
As I said, not everyone's phone is the same. Yes, there is something wrong with my phone. That's why I'm sending it in.

If my phone was this bad without overclocking, other people may have not-as-bad phones where overclocking pushes it past its limit.
[Captivate General] slayp00n:
thats 45C so about the same as mine.
[Captivate General] boborone:
I don't remember what cognition version I was on when it happened, but I was tethering and fell asleep. Woke up when I rolled over onto my phone which was extremely hot. I know my heat safety control is working, shuts down normally about 115 F. But for some reason this time it didn't. I quickly opened it up, popped the battery out and started blowing in it. I couldn't even touch the battery at first it was so hot. So I can testify that sometimes craziness happens and can jack up your phone.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
This is a fairly common problem with blackberrys I have heard stories about the phones getting insanely got and just frying the whole phone. My personal bet is on a problem with the cpu temperature regulation or something funny going on with the battery.
[Captivate General] ddoubt:
Besides the unusual problem mentioned above, what other issues overclocking could cause to my captivate? Force closes? Freezes? Charge Deaths? Anything else? Anything REAL bad?

sorry for the newbie question...
[Captivate General] boborone:
Cpu failure, true bricks.

Not really a need to oc right now, not worth the risk for me. Just bragging rights imo.
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
Tethering was the culprit here. It seems Samsung's (and many mfr.) engineers didn't anticipate anyone would want to run the 3G and WiFi radios simultaneously as wireless tethering wasn't included in Android at the time. It produces tons of heat and uses battery by the gallon. The old open-source wireless tethering app needed for 2.1 had a battery temp indicator for this reason.

Overclocking is considerably less risky. If anything it will simply cut power to the unit at a threshold temperature before damage is incurred. The real risk of soft-bricking while overclocking comes from if an overaggressive clock setting is permanently saved before a crash, which is easily avoided with reasonable care.

Using an overclocking kernel (Suckerpunch ftw!) that also allows for undervolting helps diminish excess heat somewhat. I've run Stability Test and Neocore stress-tests for an hour each at 1.4GHz undervolted, reaching 45 degrees C with no issues. My typical use patterns seldom put that much load on the phone though, so I'm not worried.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
i remember mine going upto 48 C.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
That's why we like to overclock our phones here in Winnipeg- helps keep us warm at night ;)
[Captivate General] fatttire:
You probably got drunk and dropped your phone
[Captivate General] newter55:
I thought you bailed on the captivate cl?
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Wow that's serious; mine never really gets that hot though, even when I'm charging and using a lot of applications at the same time. It gets to around 44C max; ruccintg 1.2ghz.

But yea I think something might have been wrong with the phone; of course undervolting helps as well and Im' sure that's attributing to my phone staying cool 80 percent of the time.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
I think it's more to so with the radios. My phone isn't very overclockable and it freezes long before the chip puts off heat. My phone gets hot running navigation and charging at the same time. it also has gotten hot with roms that suffer from battery drain. I doubt that the battery drain is ever cpu related.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
The phone would have froze up and crashed before hot enough to crack screen.

MOD EDIT I cant get help from other devs, not cause they dont want too, but because they dont have the streak. So I will create the CWM recovery myself. Because I will not start to dev this device without a stable recovery. By the way, you can get to the built in system recovery and do a factory reset by having the device off, the hold "Volume +" and the power button.

You can do that by booting into the recovery and selecting it.

[Droid X General] cmdoptesc47:
I just got a Droid X this week coming from a Droid Incredible. I used a pair of Klipsch S2M headphones on my Incredible to control PowerAmp using the headset controls. On the Inc, I could double press to skip the song and triple press to rewind so I know the headphones are capable of this on an Android phone. I can't seem to get these functions to work on my Droid X regardless of what ROM or music app I use. Has anyone had any success with this or is the X just simply incapable of these functions? Thanks in advance :)
[Droid X General] Sheen160:
I've used the headset controls in poweramp before and on others. Had no problem. And if I remember correctly I have a klipsch (sp) headset as well. You may just want to check your settings.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfran42:
OK, so I have CM build #34 and Titanium Backup Pro installed on my Nexus One with all of my apps apps and settings backed up and synced to Dropbox. I also use ROM Manager Premium for handling my CM7 nighties.

I have tried different variations of wiping data and cache\installing Google Apps\restoring all apps and settings with Titanium Backup but I think I am doing something wrong as I usually end up having to enter login and password information on a lot of my apps (once I get them back on my phone).

If my plan is to update to the latest CM7 version every night, what are the proper steps to do so?

Here is what I think I should do:

1. Back up all apps and settings using Titanium Pro

2. Download latest CM7 version

3. When ROM Manager asks if I want to download Google Apps, I check YES

4. After the download is complete, ROM Manager asks if I would like to Backup Existing ROM (I leave unchecked) and Wipe Date and Cache (I only check this if I am having major issues with the CM7 nightie)

5. ROM loads, phone reboots

(Here is where I start getting really confused)

6. Google asks me to sign in. I skip the sign in

7. Join wireless

8. Restore all apps and settings from Titanium Backup

9. Google keeps on asking me to sign in with my Google account.

10 I sign in and usually have issues with Twitter, work email (Exchange), Facebook, etc. Some apps that I know I had installed and configured do not show up but when I go to the Market they show as Purchased and I have to re-download them. Later when I have Twitter and Facebook configured, if I go to Settings> Accounts and Sync, it only shows Gmail and my work email (no Facebook or Twitter). If I try adding Facebook and Twitter, it never goes to the sign in screen. I can back out and see and use Facebook and Twitter on my home screen though.

Questions:

If I am downloading only CM7 nighties, should I download and install Google Apps every night (why else would ROM Manager prompt me for it and include it with every CM7 nightie)?

When using Titanium Backup, should I still sign in to my Google account on my phone or just skip it and restore all settings, apps and data?

Can someone lay out an easy step-by-step best way to accomplish what I am attempting? I think this would help a lot of novice users who want to experience the awesome custom ROMs that are floating around.

Thank you all for your time and effort!
