Agree with ditching the Samsung cord. I spent hours fiddling with drivers, Googling, and sifting through here for solutions to get any computer to recognize my phone -- XP, Vista, OSX -- and nothing worked. Then I switched to an EVO cord and they all recognized it instantly.
[Epic 4G General] TheCrut:
Same problem

I had this problem running DK28. My phone goes back and forth between wanting to connect to USB and not. I've used the stock Samsung cable, and even tried using my roomate's Captivate cable (same thing). Seems like if you just leave the phone plugged in to a USB port for a while that eventually it will work.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Don't use any Samsung-manufactured USB cable. Use one that doesn't suck.

And don't necro threads.

It's like a command prompt on Windows, but for unix/linux. You can execute (almost ?) all commands, that you can run through adb shell.

Howdy!

I'm currently running the roms in my sig. I'm absolutely loving the americandroid (even though I'm not american! ;)), but I have a problem.

My previous android installation used HTC Sense and HTC Sync. This build doesn't have those, thus I can't sync my phone with my outlook.

I've exported from outlook and imported to Gmail, but it's very inconvenient having to do that every time something changes.

Is there a way to automatically sync my phone with outlook when cradled? If not, perhaps to autosync outlook to google? I've been looking for this for weeks, but haven't yet found a permanent solution. Please suggest!

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
Just to make sure, you want to sync outlook as a stand alone client or is it apart of an Exchange combination?

In 'accounts & sync' there should be 'corperate email', just follow the input screens & you should have it on your mobile - I currently have it setup to sync email, calendar, and contacts.

If it's the later option you can use Google Sync I believe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkAtHome:
I believe that you can download it from HTC.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
I don't think you can use HTC Sync with a CMX, only works with the ones which are based on the HTC roms which had sense or something.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Angelusz:
I'm not using any exchange servers because I wouldn't know how to. It's all local. Exchange would be might convenient, though I bet it's a pain to set up.

Yes, that's the PC client, but your phone needs to support it, which needs HTC Sense & Sync.

Exactly - this is my problem, I can't use HTC Sync.

I'm very surprised there isn't any android apps readily available for this, or did I overlook any?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
It'll sync with your Gmail account which is what you wanted wasn't it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Angelusz:
Do you mean that if I install that application, it will sync whatever I do in Outlook with my gmail account? I don't think it does, but if that's it, it'd work indeed!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] parker09:
my bad, only does calendar, when I'm at work I'll try find a different solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nixda99:
Use MyPhone Explorer. It can sync via USB or WLAN. Install the actual version via market on the phone and install it on Pc. It's better than HTC Sync, because you can filter items and choose a different contact/calender folder.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwhitelaw:
Getting a new phone for my birthday, on the 27th. I either pick one now or wait for something else, which would be the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Now, if I pick something now, I have no idea what I would get, but I really wanna wait for the Galaxy S2. That being said, I can't get it if it's not coming out for like 6 months, but if it's only gonna be like 2 months, then that's okay.(For US that is...I would buy from UK but price are showing $650+)

As for the price, I don't have any upgrades available, but since it's my birthday, parents will pay for around $150. I start work tomorrow at Target(starting pay at $7.50 too!) and so I hope to save for that, but I don't know if I'll have enough if it's gonna be like $600.

So what do you guys think about the release date and price?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
Everything is pointing to within two months ;)

As for a US-Specific version? Who knows. ATT could drag their feet on their model.

The US models are typically cheaper than the international models though- the original SGS was the same way. International version/unlocked rates are $100-200 higher than the Captivate here in the US.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
also the US models are typically missing normal spec items available in normal international models ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
Well, considering it's a quad band device I'm hoping the US carriers don't demand changes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyGuard:
My captivates screen just cracked(nasty fall) no insurance so i got att retention to give me an early upgrade and have the htc inspire for $75 with a 2 year. I will have another upgrade in april i plan on using for the SGS2 but who knows if it will be out by then. If it isnt then im selling my inspire useing my upgrade on a iphone and then reselling it and bam should have enough for the god of all phones the SGS2.

well thats my plan anyway
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwhitelaw:
I don't know if it's still going on but amazon had it for $60 and you didnt need a new contract. But you already bought it, so oh well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
March 27 birthday here :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwhitelaw:
Well, turns out I get a phone upgrade in June. At least I'll be able to see some reviews before I get it. Or maybe it won't be out yet and I can still be one of the first people to get their hands on it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raijinshou:
Also US models are typically late of 4 months for update to new Android version than International models :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
I wouldn't waste my time with feature-deprived, carrier-bloat, delayed-updates, contracts, or any of the headaches that come with the US cell carriers.

I will personally never buy a contract phone again. You lose all leverage against the carrier. For example, my family has reduced price cable and free movie channels because we threatened to switch providers.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyGuard:
ATT Rocks

Heres why i Think contracts give you more benefits and leverage.

they dont want you to cancel in contract or not they will still do the same to help you. ATT bloatwhere is the worst tho.

-Never get angry

-be kind to the rep(treat them how you would like to be treated)

-tell them you dont want to leave att but you dont really have a choice if you cant get your issue resolved.

-if the rep still doesnt budge tell them you want to cancel service. this will get you transfered to the save team a.k.a retention. Now these people have the power.

-once you have retention online chances are you will get what you want and more trust me.

I used to work for att. I know all the ins and outs. Retention department is key. ATT gives credits like nothing. when my captivate just broke I got them to give me my upgrade now instead of july waived upgrade fee(which is BS anyway) and $30 off my bill for the next 6 months (180) not to mention when i left them i had my friend/coworker put the best company discount on my account which happens to be coca cola. so I also recieve 28% off my primary line and I believe a smaller percentage off data planes. it saves me $50 plus every month off my bill. Just gotta know how to work the system. I dont know why they are so generous but i tried doing things like this on my fathers vzw account and they will not budge. I love ATT and wont part with them. I have another upgrade on another line come april this year which will be used for galaxy S2. much rather sign a 2 year and pay $200 over $800 for international version when im gonna just root it and put my own rom on there any way.

If anyone is having trouble with att. PM and I will give you some advice.

they did crack down on the company discount thing tho you do have to show proof i am grand fathered in tho.

ill be happy to help

"One thing seems certain: we probably won’t be seeing this phone until late summer or early fall.

[General Questions and Answers] koolxx:
I'm a newbie and i got 3 questions about roms before i install it.

1) whats the best looking rom out there now?

2) is android considered a rom?

3) whats the best rom that saves the most on battery power?
[General Questions and Answers] TKTAB911:
1) Depends on your device :]

Whatever device you may have, go to the main-forum panel and locate [scroll down] until you find your specific phone type. Open the Development section and click on a few to find some images. Some look better than others, some perform different. Its all about personal preference.

2)The Stock [standard] Android System is a ROM. [Note; Stock ROM]. These are un-touched unless otherwise said so. Although that wouldn't be a stock ROM anymore now would it?

3)Again, depends on which phone you have. If you want, post your device name and I'll help you out.
[General Questions and Answers] duk3r:
As said from TKTAB911, everything depends on the device. There are different roms for each device, you just have to go to the appropriate subforum and read the threads. Depending on the comments you can find out if people are satisfied with each rom.

Usage problems

Hi everybody,

I am using Android (26.JAN][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G [Android2.2.2][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam) on HTC HD2.

I like this build very much.

Altough I have some problem:

- I am from Hungary. The build does not know hungarian language (it is not problem of course). I am using hungarian keyboard, for emailing, and sending sms. When I use extended(?) characters (ie: ő, ű, á) at sending sms, the length of sms reduce from 160 to 70(?). When somebody uses hungarian language android, it can handles this characters. Also my old Nokia phones was an option not using Unicode (or extended) character. Is it here any settings, or application, what can help, that i could use these characters without reducing the sms size?

- With the built in Exchange client I can not move email to Exchange folder. (Altough I can see the content of the exchange folders). Is it any chance to move letters to these folders?

- I have not got built in FM radio. I haven't found it on market neither (only internet radios). Could you advise something?

Thanks for helping me,

ga

[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
Is the text in the browser really bad or is it just me. If I'm not zoomed in it is unreadable. I know the resolution isn't as great as the iPhone 4 but it's worse than my old 3GS. Weird. It's the same complaint I had with the Captivate. WP7 is much better than Android however. Really digging it. Not sure it can replace my iPhone but I like the OS overall.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I've got the device with the smallest screen (Quantum - 3.5") and I never really notice that. Although I zoom in to certain levels no matter what site it is. I have to wonder if maybe you're browsing as a "Desktop", and not zooming in?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
Text just does not compare to my iPhone 4 no matter what. Still love the UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
What phone do you have?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
Samsung Focus. Just not a fan of AMOLED screens. IPS for the win.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Pretty sure it's due to the pentile matrix AMOLED display that Samsung uses. Renders text fuzzier

http://jonchoo.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-omnia-7-pentile-amoled-display.html

I agree there's a noticeable difference between the iP4 and a samsung focus with regards to text that is zoomed out
[Windows Phone 7 General] xpunksbeendeadx:
Well I have a Focus and iPhone too. Even when I zoom pretty far out with the Focus I can see things perfectly legible. Maybe you've been spoiled by the Retina Display or maybe it's your device. It could even be the font that IE8 uses which is a little harder to read then it should be when small. I suggest maybe using double tap on a block of text to automatically format. Hope this helped.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
The point is on my iPhone 4 I can read the text without zooming in. Pages on the focus look like my old Windows Mobile phone before zooming in....like garbage. I think IE is part of the problem. Text in the rest of the OS does not look so bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Name a site you're talking about, I wanna see what you mean...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
This thread for example. Zoom all the way out so the entire page is displayed in portrait orientation. Half the text is unrecognizable. Especially small text. I have no issue zooming in to read. It just looks crappy coming from my iPhone 4. Still enjoying the device and can't wait for the updates. Till then I'll use part time when I'm bored.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Just checked it out. I see what you mean with the smaller text. But the posts and names are pretty easily visible, at least to me. But I see what you mean, if you're used to being able to see it all, going to this where you can't would be looked on as a step down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
Just hard to get used to. Can't wait to see the OS mature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
sAMOLED is actually worse than Super LCD screens for text (PenTile, etc.). sAMOLED+ is supposed to be better.

iPhones have great text rendering because the screen is good and the pixel density is extremely high.

Don't have any text issues at all on the HD7.

Also, perhaps iOS renders text bigger when the page is zoomed out all the way, because the screen is too small for it to be more legible on completely zoomed out pages even with a much higher pixel density. Everything is smaller on an iPhone screen when you're zoomed out to full page view.

I do notice some text gets "bolded" in IE at some sites when you are zoomed out fully, but I cannot even fathom reading an iOS screen with a page fully zoomed out. It's just too small.

The only way I can see that happening, is if iOS' Safari Browser actually enlarges the text to a readable size when the page is fully zoomed out.

Sorry, I just think you're sensationalizing it a bit...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC40NjgpLkk
[Windows Phone 7 General] ScottBGKY:
Sensationalizing it? Not sure what that video has to do with anything. I have both phones in hand and the same page zoomed all the way out on an iPhone 4 has very clear clean text. The Samsung Focus is a bunch of garbled graphics. I zoom both in and the Samsung Focus is readable just fine. I don't read the text in the iPhone 4 zoomed out either but can tell what it is very clearly. No enlarging of text going on either.

BTW my iOS screen zoomed all the way out on my iPad works great. Can't imagine you not being able to fathom that. ;)
