[EVO 4G General] warmachine69:
A week ago I posted about the TuneLink car adapter that allowed me to use Bluetooth to Aux in in my car. With this app in place my phone is now my sole source of media outside of my house.

The problem I have is there is no native desktop software for Android music. Zune doesn't sync with android and recently switched to a zpl playlist format that adds too many steps to move files from Zune-> Windows Media-> To my Evo.

Doubletwist just isn't a finished product. The desktop application is lackluster and slow. Moreover I hate their media player, I prefer MIUI's player or the stock Droid player.

My answer was to give Itunes a try. We all know it manages music well and adds and adds artwork but I never tried a 3rd party sync platform.

My answer was Tunesync. It's an expensive $5 app that manages and syncs playlists wirelessly between my EVO and Itunes. Works well and doesn't eat up much battery life. For me this is perfect because I only have the 8gb stock memory card and I don't need my entire library on my phone, just my favorite playlists.

Finally, I used Windows Live Mesh to sync the "My Music" folders between my laptop and my desktop just in case I want to update my phone from the road or on vacation. I recommend this setup for anyone looking to manage their music.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Doubletwist airsync works well too..its just slow.
[EVO 4G General] warmachine69:
The Doubletwist desktop software is garbage. I need something more polished like Winamp, Zune, Itunes.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I use itunes for my desktop music. I just use doubletwist to transfer my music. Can't wait for google to finish up google music with the native sync service.
[EVO 4G General] sparhawk6:
I agree that Doubletwist is not usable. For starters, they claim that they cannot sync smart playlists from iTunes. You can sync them to start, but if your playlist is updated, doubletwist won't pick up on the update. I mean, the main reason I want to sync with itunes is because of the smart playlists in itunes, which I LOVE. Doubletwist staff claims that it is due to iTunes' locked down system. That is bogus, because other apps do it fine.

Instead of tunesync, I suggest isyncr:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrtstudio.iSyncr

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrtstudio.iSyncr.WiFi

The UI isn't flashy, but all I need is something to sync my itunes playlists to my phone. It just works. The wifi addon is excellent. It recently got a feature called "live playlists" which is just like itunes' smart playlists, so you can create your own playlists on your phone from the music you sync to your device. The developer is really on top of things - he responds quickly to emails and is always adding features. He recently added the ability to upsync your photos and video, as well as the amazon mp3s you buy on your phone. I love it.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
iTunes is the worst media manager for Windows IMHO. I'm surprised nobody mentioned MediaMonkey... it puts all others to shame.

For wireless sync with Android, WinAMP is definitely the way to go. I just can't give up PowerAMP on my Android, so I can live without wi-sync.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
itunes is horrible on windows. I love it on my mac though. (I don't mean feature wise)
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
Anyone who says iTunes is good is using a Mac. That **** is like a virus on Windows.

I agree with a previous poster...Media Monkey.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChairChair:
Hi, so I've got a minor problem. I always connect my phone to the wifi that my university has all around. Now the university's wifi is secured via an online "air marshal", where after you connect your internet page is redirected to a the airmarshal page where you have to log in with your student information, after which point you'll have internet access.

Now I've accessed this wifi from my phone before, where I would connect and just go to the web browser, which would redirect me. But that was somewhat unreliable then and is fully not working now. Now I've had problems connecting to this redirect page even on my laptop, but that was due to a high volume of people, which is not the case now.

I know this is not a very good description but I'm hoping someone is familiar with the concept and can help me out. Should I try setting up a static IP on the phone? Is there any way to improve my connection to the redirect page?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennijai:
I would highly suggest you contact your university's computing center (may be a different name for your school) since they should have a better idea on your issue.

My school specifically has steps on how to setup our smartphones, laptops, etc onto their wifi network so maybe your school does too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sircaper:
Are you on the stock browser? Maybe try a different one. I only use stock so I'm not sure on recommendations, but I'm sure you can find threads on browsers if you go that route.

Bluetooth Issues - Summary of Testing Results

This is a problem that goes away if I simply go back to a DK28 based ROM (which I have no plans of doing), but appears with any flavor of the EB13 update available.

On a day when I didn't have a lot to do, I decided to do some testing to see if I could find the magic combination of EB13 loading (upgrade.apk, ODIN .tar/.pit load, Samsung SWUpgrade and the DEODEXed [stock-ish] ROMS available) to get my bluetooth working like it does on DK28. I have upgraded to EB13 stock, EB13 deodex, deodex w/EXT4 (no member ROMS yet) along with stock/Genocide/Daemon's kernels ... essentially every mix of install, ROM and Kernel available. Add to that, I also cleared data on the OPP application --- I tried to cover every base I could. That being said, I have narrowed down my list of issues with bluetooth on EB13 to:

Paired devices are not saved. I have a Jawbone ICON and I have to add it everytime my phone is rebooted.

(Only add once on DK28)

Unable to Pair and Connect on first attempt. It always takes at least 2 and most of the time 3 presses of Pair and Connect to get the Jawbone paired and connected.

(Paired and connected on first attempt on DK28)

When my Jawbone pairs up, if you watch the notification bar closely, my wifi will also do a quick off/on right after the notification shows "Paired" on the Jawbone. Before you ask - yes, I ran tests with the various radio's on and off just to see if that was the cause. Nope.

(Never saw this on DK28, but then again was not watching for it either)

Like others have said, I can voice dial using the Voice Dialer application on the phone, but I cannot voice dial by pressing and holding the voice dial activation button on the Jawbone (the start/stop/quick disconnect happens on the application).

(Press button, state name, call on DK28)

It did not matter what combination of the above I used, the result was always the above. I'll gladly assist in troubleshooting this issue, so if anyone out there knows what to look for in the logfiles, I'll gladly run a pair/connect sequence and capture the adb logcat output for review.

Thanks in advance ... None of these are showstoppers, in fact I love EB13 and also appreciate all the hard work done by the devs and contributors in these forums (plus I guess I need 10 posts now to add anything relevant to a dev thread ;)).

If you use Titanium Backup and have backups from before the update, please read this:

I was having the same problem with bluetooth on EB13. Just before ODINing back to DI18, I decided to try this:

1. In Titanium Backup>Backup/Restore, find these three items backed up from a previous kernel: Bluetooth Pairings, BluetoothTest 1.0, BrcmBluetoothServices 1.0. --Touch and restore each one of these.

2. Go to Home>Menu>Settings>Wireless and Network>Bluetooth Settings (turn on bluetooth): If your device is listed as paired, unpair it. Pair it again as a new device.

This worked for me, except voice-dial through my Jawbone is force-closing (but I honestly don't know if it ever worked right anyway). At the very least, it is now pairing and connecting fine and staying connected for calls and music.

P.S.

I suppose if you don't already have a backup of these items you could ODIN back, get Titanium Backup, backup all apps and system data, then update to EB13 all over again and restore the bluetooth data.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_norris:
Hi there,

Now I've come across a few threads that mention reboot issues. However mine seem to be almost unique.

The biggest thread I came across was more along the lines of overheating.

Everything on my phone functions normally. GPRS / 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth (I think, never use it!).

First issue: GPS takes FOREVER to lock. A good ten minutes, at least. Whether I sit and wait for it to lock or just start driving. Makes no difference.

GPS eventually locks. A good 20 minutes (give or take a few minutes) in, and bang. Reboot.

My first thought was the radio. I was running the very latest one (in the radio thread). I downgraded. I tried 4 older radio's. Each previous one improving the stability. However all except the latest only keep the GPS working for around 20 minutes after locking.

This morning I flashed the oldest radio (first post of the radio thread, oldest one there).

Results in my testing on the way home are quite different. After 20ish minutes I didn't get a boot loop. NDrive went crazy, and stopped navigating. I restarted the app and the GPS refused to lock.

I had installed CatLog some time ago. In my early experimenting, I ran the logging while driving. It seemed to have prevented a reboot but instead created circumstances like above where the GPS stopped working mid-navigating.

I'm running Pays DHD Rom. When navigating its running on battery alone. Temps don't go above 35 degrees Celcius. My phone is rooted, s-off'd as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Short of un-rooting, finding a stock like 2.2 ROM and turning S-on and sending it back to the shop I bought it from, I don't know what to do :(

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catdog:
In my personal experience all GPS receivers loose sensitivity over time. Some go off faster other stay fine for a few years. If it takes that long for your GPS receiver to lock it is most likely caused by lost sensitivity and no ROM will fix this. The very last thing you can try is to download one of the GPS manager apps and perform a full wipe of the GPS data followed by GPS cold start. It should lock within 2 minutes. Otherwise install a stock ROM and apply for warranty repair.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_norris:
Agreed. Definitely not the rom. I installed cm7 and damn its a great rom but the problem persists.

I downloaded one of those GPS apps. When soft resetting it rebooted my phone :( sad days.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_norris:
So I've pretty much given up.

Tomorrow its going back to where I've gotten it from.

After downloading the stock RUU (first Eclair and then Froyo. Lets just say Eclair didn't like my phone at all) and getting it on the phone, I'm finished.

The moment I turn on GPS... instant reboot!

If you ever have troubles like this, don't waste your time, just take it back!

Great News! I have stumbled upon a solution for the 801812C1 error!

I have reasons to believe that this works for LG E900 Optimus 7 phones. If you want to try this on your Samsung Omnia 7, please read my note at the end of the post.

Here's what I did (LG E900 Optimus 7 / Windows 7 64bit):

During Step 6 (Rebooting your phone), your Windows OS detects your phone as a new device and starts searching for driver updates online. This can be seen when you click on the little indicator with a spinning green circle in the bottom-right corner of your desktop called the notification area (you might need to click on Show Hidden Icons if it's hidden).

You have to *immediately* click on "Skip Obtaining Device Software Online" or Zune will time-out and show error 801812C1.

Once you've skipped obtaining the drivers online, in about 20 seconds or so, your device will be recognized and you will be promptly taken to the Step 7 of the update.

Note for Samsung Omnia 7 users:

Even if you've gotten past the Step 6 801812C1 error, many users are getting stuck at Step 7 at 100% of 'Backing up your phone' resulting in a few users getting their phones bricked -- you might want to wait till that issue is resolved before trying this fix.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:

[Windows Phone 7 General] tejazz:
I don't know for sure but I think we already have the drivers installed with Zune software -- it just checks for newer drivers online which takes too long and makes the updater throw an error code.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Imerda:
Update WP7 driver on PC

1. Shut down the phone

2. Restart the phone and hold on the camera button

3. A black screen appears showing a device connected to a PC

4. Connect the phone to PC on USB

5. Open Device Manager on PC and check the entry for Portable Device: Schubert (HD7) or other (but not 'Zune' !)

6. Shut down and restart the phone

7. Connect the phone to PC and run the WP7 upgrade from Zune application

The error '801812C' no longer occurs at step 6.

FIXED error code 801821C1

FIXED!!!! I was having same problem with my Dell Venue Pro Cell Phone with Windows 7. After trying all the steps I found on every forum. I restarted both my phone and computer multiple times., nothing seemed to work.....I always just use the closest USB cord I can find that fits my phone. I decided to try the USB cord that came from Dell with my phone. This worked the first time. There must be certain drivers that are only found the the company specific USB cord. So I recommend trying your HTC original OEM USB cord. Hope this helps
