[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Alright, it is totally understandable that you may have these issues. First of all, in order to take the phone out of standby, you need to press the 'Power' button at the top right of the phone. It may seem too small at first, but you'll get used to it. When you press the button, the screen lights up and you can scroll up to unlock. As you may have discovered, the 'Camera' button also unlocks the device, but that is a feature to quickly take a photo, not to unlock it.

Secondly, have you installed the MFG app on the LG Optimus 7 yet? If not, bring up the dialer, and dial ##634#, wait for the app to install, and then it will be available like any other app in your 'right flick' list. You can even pin it up to the Home screen if you choose to. Then, enter 277634#*# for the password to enter the app. The following is the path you must take:

7. Engineer Menu > 2. Device Test > 8. WIFI Test > 1. Net.Info.

At which point you should be greeted by the Net.Info. screen showing you the MAC address and the IP address of your device.

Hope this helps. Ask any other questions you have here as well. Welcome to the WP7 Club.
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
Thanks very much! I was going crazy with this lock screen problem... I think they should state this flow more clearly somewhere... anyway, thanks also for the MAC info, I got it also!

For now that's everything! But I'm sure there will be more in the future... ;)
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
OK, one more small thing that is bothering me...

Does IE (on WP7 of course) has any means to store passwords and auto-complete them? I even looked for some apps, but they didn't seem to integrate with IE...
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
As of now, IE does not support any plug-ins, ActiveX (thank God), or any of the regular functions you are used to on a desktop browser. However, I believe autocomplete will come soon. For now though, you should upgrade to NoDo, and use a password manager (I use 7Pass, and Passkeeper), and copy username/passwords from there to your browser...
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
OK, I was afraid of that... unfortunately this didn't come with NoDo (I already have it ;)

It will be a long wait until the next update (Mango, if I remember the name correctly)... it would be very nice if MS would release smaller updates like this more often... this way maybe they could even deploy it faster, since the changes would be small and so would the probability of a grand failure (I guess)

Anyway, one more question came up yesterday: is there any way to show my contacts birthdays on the calendar? I had this same problem on my Nokia... I never understood the reason to have a birthday field on the contacts if they didn't show up on the calendar!

Thanks!

Leo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdessert:
I got the body glove case at At&t today because I loved that case so much on my captivate. All in all it is a good case. Here are a few pro cons for those looking for it.

Pros: very low profile adds hardly any bulk to the phone just like the captivate version, I love that it's semi hard yet "sticks" in your hand nice and isn't slippery.

Cons: the large cutout around the camera sucks. They cut way to much out and I can see losing my small child in there if I ever have them both in the same pocket, because of it's low profile, the camera sticks out past the case therefor there is no protection for the camera if it gets dropped on that side, the case fits as snug as it did on my captivate but it has a very weak spot around the volume rocker.

All in all if you are just looking to protect from scratches this is a great case, but for ultimate protection look elsewhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I have the same case. I noticed that there's a gap on mine at the bottom of the phone and I can push it in. I may go back and get the speck case to get better protection. I understand that with that case the camera is flush and doesn't protrude.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
I loved BG case on Captivate and would've jumped on this one too but that huge cutout on the back is really off-putting to me for some reason.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
bigdessert, I concur with your findings. Love the Body Glove for the same reasons as well as the textured back. But I'm paranoid of something happening to the camera lense. My wife is looking at upgrading to the Inspire very soon but she doesn't like the Body Glove. She uses a Speck case on her Aria right now so she will probably stick with that brand for the upgrade. Then I can compare them side-by-side :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rodger-sp:
I have a review up on my website of the speck case for the Inspire.

I hope you're not planning on making a living off those "reviews".
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
Body Glove was a nice case for the Captivate.. not so nice for the Inspire considering the other choices

Sent from a telegraph station somewhere in northern Russia
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Good to know on the camera Gunny. I was wonderng if there was a case that would keep the camera from sticking out so far. I hate how it does that as it's very prone to the lens being messed up when you lay it down!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Just wanting to add to this...

I too purchased the Body Glove from ATT on launch day due to lack of alternatives available. I was very disappointed, because as usual it didn't cover the buttons on the side and tops, and the cutout made the side supports a little more lose than I prefer. I also noticed that it added a LOT of bulk to the back of the phone.... so I ended up returning it.

Often times when a new phone come out, I take a chance and order a cheapy case on eBay for $2 and end up throwing away when it arrives due to it being cheap mis-fitting junk.

However, I came across the cases listed below from seller AccStation on eBay, and decided to take a chance. They sell them for $3.50 with free shipping (tho I had to pay tax since I'm in CA). It arrived and was like Christmas day. I'm not even kidding. I've had hundreds of mobile devices, and thousands of cases in my life, and this is hands-down the most 100% perfect fitting, most amazingly cut case I've ever bought, and it was only four bux! The camera cutout is EXACT, it's like the phone was dipped in the rubber. There's no lose\off-cut pieces. The shell is incredibly thin, and it's a material that doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket when you put it in and out.

I am ordering more from this seller to have as backups. Right now they're out of stock, so they raised the price to $100 to not sell any, but watch their website and grab them when they're back in stock. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and fit of this case, it's as if my phone was dipped in the rubber, it just is 100% spot-on!

[Vibrant General] prudviraj:
Guys,

I have this strange problem, my phone hangs every time i end a call, so i should pull the battery out and restart. I am using Vibrant from T-mobile in India on Airtel. I am currently on Bionix latest version. i had this problem in earlier versions too.. I have bestskins ever installed on my phone. What i also observed is, when i put my phone in a hard case, it hangs much more.. like hell.. so waiting for inputs..:)

Thanks in advance...
[Vibrant General] irockstar661:
Do you possibly have the audible tones selected and on? I noticed when I use those (I like the end call tone) then the phkne will hang or fc after end call.

[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
Hello all,

I am a former iPhone user to just received his Moto Atrix today and I am trying to get some music on the device.

My iTunes library does not revolved around playlists, but instead I use the "Albums" view to play/sync music (to my iPhone). When I sync the iPhone, I have an option of checking which albums I want to sync.

Is there any software I can get/purchase that will let me do this for the Droid. I would like to still use iTunes as my music management software, but sync Albums onto my Atrix. I have tried some software (doubleTwist) but it only allows syncing of playlists (which I don't have). This software would also have to have the ability of playing from the "Albums" on the Atrix.

[See attached for what I would like the application to be able to sync]

Thanks in Advance,

Tom
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Try doubletwist
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
That's the one I just tried. It only seems to be able to sync "Playlists" and not Compilations/Albums
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Sorry I must have skipped that part in your post.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
You can try this http://androidforums.com/android-media/139655-how-sync-itunes-android.html
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
Giving this a try now. So far so good. I am syncing the music now, which is half the battle. Hopefully some music player will be able to "detect" these albums. I will be trying MixZing first.
[Atrix 4G General] thunderpack:
Make a playlist with everything you want to sync
[Atrix 4G General] stonec11:
Or you can download the Motorola medialink software, as it can sync all your itunes musics. Of cause the DRM free one's.
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
This is essential anyway if you have more music than you have space on the phone, which if you are into music - is likely. In that case, stick to doubletwist.
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
iTunes agent worked beautifully. I am able to see my albums in the Music player as well as Mixzing.

Cleaned up some album covers that were missing using the free album cover app.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
No problem.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Hey All,

Currently, my epic is running DK28. I think something is physically messed up with the USB connection (this is my guess), since it never is recognized on any computer (tried multiple). Also, the options for USB hard drive or charge only never appear when plugged into computer.

SO, I am wondering if there is anyway to get back to DI18 via an update.zip mechanism. I am able to use SwiftFTP to get files back and forth from the SD slot. But since the USB drive is not recognized by the comp., Odin or the Samsung update tool are not options.

Wondering if there is any other suggestions out there for me,

Thanks

Also, since I'm running DK28, sprint stores will not operate or give me a new phone since its not the "official" version... already tried.
[Epic 4G General] Rodderik:
the only way you are going to be able to update is to get usb working (un/reinstall drivers, use a diff cable, use diff usb ports, etc) and either odin or use the eb13 update .exe on your pc

the only other option you have right now is to wait on a cwm flashable system dump but that will not give you the modem or other things that you will probably need...

so i say fix the usb issue...that is really your only option
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
I've tried multiple different USB cables, reinstalled drivers (on numerous pc's), and used different ports on those pc's. I think i'm probably SOL on this one.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
here is a cwm flashable zip to take you back to di18. [Linky]

You will still need to put the stock recovery back after that if you are trying to go totally stock. I know the files for it are around here somewhere, and iirc they may be in the di18 odin tar.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Ok. Thanks,

I will try to flash the zip provided. If it works and i get back to DI18, then would I be able to flash the EB13 update zip floating around? Sorry, I am a little confused.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
are you sure you don't have usb debugging on?
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
ya. Nothing pops up either way.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
I tried the update.zip and I get the E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted message. Oh well, thanks though.

Looks like I'm stuck with this one for a while.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
Does USB work in download mode? If so you can use ODIN, if not the ROM is not your problem.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
USB does not work in download mode either... get some error messages from windows, USB not recognized and such.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
reinstall your samsung drivers if that doesn't work you have a big problem.

edit. Try another computer as well
[Epic 4G General] BubbaGumprc:
Your usb port may have gone bad. My first epic usb wouldnt do anything after having it for like 30 days so the sprint store just replaced it.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Done that. On three different computers.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Ya. I tried that. But since i'm stuck on DK28, they won't look at it. The considered it "rooted" even though it isn't. And wouldn't take a look at it. They just gave it back to me.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
What are you selecting to flash the zip? If you are doing it right, there should be no signature verification.

Also, after flashing the zip, you might download the ota, but it won't install until you put the stock recovery back, too.

edit: Don't you have clockworkmod?
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
I do not have clockworkmod. I suppose I should try that before.

I'll try that now, then see what happens

Edit: Sorry, but I'm pretty much a complete idiot. Is it possible to get clockwork working without connection to a pc?
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
Most likely, the USB cord is the problem. If the computer tells you, the driver was successfully installed, then that's the least of ur problems. I had problems similar to what ur having (USB not recognized, doesn't recognize in Download mode, etc etc.) All I had to do was find a USB cord that worked correctly (the one that came with the phone is not reliable 100%) and all ur problems should be solved!
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
he already stated on the 1st page that he had tried multiple cables
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
I have tried at least three different USB cables (all charge the phone when plugged in) just nothing pops up with the options for storage.
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
How unfortnate in may seem, they might have just been all bad cables. I eventualy used the cord from my brother's EVO, so...... just a suggestion, I still may be completely wrong.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
Possible yes .... probable no
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
alright. I tried my 4th one (roomies cable for droid global 2)... no luck
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
So, is it going to be possible to ever flash a EB13 update from DK28 without clockwork recovery? My phone is unrooted, and at this point, unrecognizable from the PC, is it a lost cause (since I can't get clockwork)?

I really have no issues with DK28, I'd like to assume that EB13 would have some better performance or reliability improvements since they worked on it like 2 months longer than expected
[Epic 4G General] Lights218:
I had usb issues until i plugged into the usb ports directly attached to my mother board in the back. The front ports and the extra ones i added that took up a pci slot have not worked for me ever. Also wanted to say just tried the new official froyo, about to go back to midnight rom. Not happy with it. I will wait for some nice roms to come out.
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
I'm not sure what to tell you, but keep shuffling through cords, reinstall drivers and restart ur PC. Make sure USB debugging is on and connect to ur computer BEFORE entering Download mode. And a correction from earlier... I didn't eventually use an EVO cord, I used a cord for a BlackBerry Curve. It had the blackberry symbol on it and everything.... hope I helped... :\
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Is my only chance waiting for someone to make a stock flashable EB13 update.zip for DK28? I don't much clue what I'm talking about or if thats even possible.
[Epic 4G General] tetshi:
It's the USB slot on the phone. I had the same issue. Had to take the phone back and get a new one (Though I did manage to fix the pins enough to get it to recognize the phone again after getting "Usb device not recognized" 1,000,000 times). If it worked fine before, and just stopped work, it's the port on the phone. They may be able to fix it at a Sprint repair store by swapping the motherboard out. Worth a shot.
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Ya, I am pretty sure thats the issue. But, the problem is that the sprint stores will not operate or do anything to it since its on DK28, not DI18 or EB13.

Might have to say I "Lost" it, since have full device protection. But, that would be a lot of hassle, and probably would just stick to DK28, until I hear word that EB13 is orders of magnitude better.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Yes, if you have root. I posted instructions in this thread.

edit: After reading further back, it appears that you do not have root. At this point, you're stuck on dk28 until you somehow fix the usb or it gets "lost or stolen."
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Do not have root. Thanks though
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
If you look inside the usb port on the phone there is a little tab toward the back of the port. Look and see if that is bent at all. A couple people have said that they were able to carefully straighten that tab and get it to work. I haven't done it so do it at your own risk.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Ok so I've been having this problem all night.. and so far I've gotten stock di18 back on through clockwork. And guess what it doesn't matter anyway because it didn't flash the modem. And the eb rom needs it to flash it would seem. So it looks as if well have to get our usb situations worked out. I guess for you id try to get root and clockwork first, flash the di18 zip, and then take it to sprint for a replacement.
[Epic 4G General] TWO515TY:
@OP

http://briefmobile.com/how-to-update-your-samsung-epic-4g-to-official-eb13-android-2-2-1

Go to step number 11 and download that update.zip file. If you have a USB card reader, a laptop/netbook with a card reader, or even another phone with a microSD slot, take the microSD card out of your Epic, put it into whatever card reader you have (maybe you can use your roommate's Droid 2 Global?) and mount your microSD card on your computer. Follow the rest of the instructions from step 11 and you should be able to move to EB13.

Download Rom manager from market

click download/install Clockworkmod recovery

then reboot into recovery and install the rom or click install rom from inside the program

[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
If the usb port on phone is truly messed up then long term this might be your best bet... Your just looking at more problems down the road if so.
[Epic 4G General] AndroidIsEpic:
I'm also with the OP on this.. tried multiple usb cables, computers and ports AND uninstalled reinstalled drivers 8 million different times in different orders.

So looks like we are stuck on DK28...and now I just want to get to stock so I can at least replace the phone which I'm definitely thinking has a bad usb port.

I wish there was a way to get to back or to the new update without having to be rooted or hooked up to a computer.

Looks like I'll wait a little while to see if anyone somehow can make a updateable zip from stock unrooted DK28 to EB13 and if not looks like my phone will have to get stolen before I can even get a new one with a working usb port!

This sucks!
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
Guys im having the same problem, However i tried to update form the samsung site.. the .exe not the .zip and when i held the #1 and power it took me 2 the reboot screen...

Found out phone wouldnt connect and now when i powered on phone its stuck in "safe mode" how do i get out of safemode?

EDIT: Did a factory reset and it got me outta safe mode, i backed up my data/apps before hand anyways but still...

Just a question what kinda operating system is everyone on thats having this problem? In on Win 7 64bit but i've tryed a vista machine as well =/ tried 2 different cables 2 =/ and uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers more times then i can count
[Epic 4G General] AndroidIsEpic:
I tried on my Windows 7 64 bit machine and multiple Windows XP machines. This is driving me crazy and even more so that we can't go to sprint with dk28 installed to fix the USB issue.

[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
So it seems root is what you really need since blu9987 pointed out

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786266

is a flash-able stock including modem for di18. And this didn't cure it for you.

It is possible, I guess that someone could "sign" it so that it would pass as a stock update.zip

I'm sure I've never seen an exploit that can achieve root w/o a physical connection.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
When you install CWM from inside rom manager it puts an update.zip on your sdcard, then when u do an action (like make a backup) it reboots into stock recovery and installs the update.zip then boots into CWM 2.5.1.0 and does the function. Perhaps if someone were to upload that update.zip for him to use? I dont have rom manager installed ATM as im on stock eb13 and havent rooted yet
[Epic 4G General] AndroidIsEpic:
Ugh..and I was gonna root as soon as we got official Froyo. Perfect timing to have the micro usb port go out. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] tanmack33:
Any ideas on how to go about rooting my phone without a PC connection?
[Epic 4G General] vtective:
I am having the same exact problem with the USB. Stuck on DK28, too.
[Epic 4G General] AndroidIsEpic:
Well I feel pretty stupid but RELIEVED if you guys are using different usb cords make sure you read who makes them... the 4 other usb cords that I was trying to use happened to also be SAMSUNG cords even though they were for different brand phones...I didn't notice at first but after close inspection I saw tiny Samsung lettering.

I ended up grabbing my friends' cord from his Evo and BAM recognized the phone.

So here's a tip: try not to use a samsung micro usb cord with your SAMSUNG phone! :rolleyes:

Also I had some issues with the samsung installer at first then I tried odin and accidently bricked my phone (to the point where the light wouldnt even turn on during charging) completely dead.

So if this happens instead of freaking out like I orginally did just unplug the battery and hold the power button to drain the juice then put the battery back in and wait like 45 mins and then try to go straight into download mode!

And make sure you have Odin or the Samsung installer ready because it wont last long and you'll have to wait again before it'll turn on again.

( I know because I wasn't expecting the phone to actually turn on the first time and by the time I got my computer ready the phone turned off again) :mad:

Then follow the Samsung guide or the Odin guide posted in the forums and if it completes you're in luck! No more paperweight!

I hope this helps someone on these forums because I was going a little crazy wondering why any of the computers or cables I tried weren't recognizing the phone.
