How do I format the card?

Is it the thing where I go into ROM Manager and under utillities, select Patition SD card?
[Desire General] danielvago:
I tried to format the SD card, through menu->settings->sd card->format

After it was formatted I put all the SD stuff back from my backup on my PC, and the mp3 could still not be seen at all.

Something strange with the pictures though. In my gallery app I could see all my picture folders except for the main one where new pictures are saved to.

So I try to connect it to my PC again, and switch one of the pictures from the main folder over to one of my self-made folders to see if it would show up there.

I disconnect from the PC and let the SD card mount again, and now it's back to where I can see no pictures at all. I try to put the picture back again, but still; no pictures at all.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Don't format through phone. .. plug it in ur PC and use gparted for example..

Btw u did backup ur SD and move everything back on yea?
[Desire General] danielvago:
I have a backup of my SD and moved it all back, no problems.

The only other way of formatting I know (besides doing it through the phone) is using this guide:

1. Go into the ROM Manager app.

2. Under utillities, select Patition SD card.

3. Select 512MB for both cache and EXT3

4. This will re-format your SD card.

Is that the same (as good as) using gparted as you suggested? I don't know about gparted.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
I just think that using a PC / Mac gives you more control over the format etc... linux swap etc... No doubt rom mamanger should suffice but if you do have a corrupted SD card often PC's can handle it better

Tbh if you have repaired your card that usually fixes these sorts of problems for me ... have you got another SD card to try!?
[Desire General] danielvago:
Why didn't I think to try this myself?! :)

I do have another SD card, and just tried it... and it works! I even tried putting in a new mp3 and it can see it.

Do you think I should just do a rom manager format, or should I jump into the PC way of a format?

I am a big noob btw, so if you think the PC way of formatting my SD card is better, could I ask you to write down a noob-friendly guide maybe? :)
[Desire General] danielvago:
I've just done the rom manager partition format, and tried to put an mp3 and a few pictures on my SD card, and it works!

Now I'm in the process of putting my SD backup back on my SD card, and I'll write back later if it all works after that.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
If not ur card is screwed lol.. I'd be surprised if that didn't work!! Formatting usually cures SD card probs ... if u ever get read only error just repair ur card no need for format for that... just for future reference ... I'm a bit nooby too tbh, lots to learn lol
[Desire General] danielvago:
I just finished copying all of the backup onto my SD card and... now it doesn't work again!!! Same problem!
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Why don't you buy a new card? I got a class 6 16 Gb for £20 ... so there cheap enough for all the hassle?

Try formatting on a Mac or PC.. I use gparted from CD I burnt but there are plenty of others around. If not tbh I'm not sure where you go from there.. if you have a backup everything should be fine lol

Edit - so can I clarify do either of your cards work properly?
[Desire General] danielvago:
Oh my god... I just found a ".nomedia" file in the root of my SD card... if that's it I will feel very stupid.

I have formatted 3 times now, transferring the stuff back again now.
[Desire General] danielvago:
Yup, that was the problem :(

I feel so stupid, but thanks for all your help.
[Desire General] BigMrB:
LOL .... well at least you learnt something

[Atrix 4G General] lasersocks:
Hi Guys,

Are any of you noticing a long delay after you press the power button? I feel like it can be a few seconds from when I press it to when the screen actually turns on. Not only is this incredibly annoying, but it also seems to be affecting phone calls. I am not able to answer/decline before my phone stops ringing in some situations.

Any way around this?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
u have setcpu ?

edit:

fyi i have setcpu with screenoff profile, but no delay
[Atrix 4G General] alphadog00:
Or are you using Widget locker or widgetoid?
[Atrix 4G General] lasersocks:
I just uninstalled widgetlocker... It was installed but not in use. I will see if this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] xhawk29:
I am seeing the same issue. I am currently on gingerblur beta 5, and am still seeing the delay just like I was on stock. Very annoying.
[Atrix 4G General] lasersocks:
Yea, still a bit of a delay. My captivate was instant on (as any phone should be)...
[Atrix 4G General] joelszs:
no delay here
[Atrix 4G General] kchasse:
I am seeing this occasionally and I am using WidgetLocker. Is there a setting I am using worng or is it just an known issue with WL on this phone?
[Atrix 4G General] lasersocks:
I think WL is the culprit. My screen is MUCH quicker since uninstalling it.
[Atrix 4G General] dlazer:
I think he's talking about a delay from the time you push the power button to the time the screen turns on.

I had that happening to me for a couple days and it was really annoying. I did a power-off, then power back on and it seems to be back to normal for the past day. I never used WidgetLocker, so it couldn't be because of that.
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
I'm using WidgetLocker and fairly heavily modified...and it doesn't have a delay like this.
[Atrix 4G General] joewoo:
Never had it... then a couple days ago it started, then I just pulled the battery and its fine again
[Atrix 4G General] Norcalz71:
I noticed no delay initially, but after I installed widgetlocker I noticed a slight delay. I'm using the volume rocker to wake the screen typically.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
no WL here, running launcher pro. I do notice an annoying delay. Not terrible, but still annoying
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Yeah, sometimes getting a bit of a delay. Sometimes it takes as much as a minute for the screen to turn on (not reacting to button press). But generally, the phone catches itself after that, and everything is ok for a couple of days.

Every now and then, it would restart when this issue appears. Maybe once per week or so. No biggie for me.

i bought my x10 on taiwan and i even manage to connect to internet there and in singapore via 3G.. now when im here in the philippines, i cant even connect..

i ask for the hlp of cutomer care of one giant network here but then they told me that i really cant connect to 3G here in the philippines if your phone was bought outside.. is there any solution to this? i can only have internet thru wifi..:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
Obtain your providers APN service settings and import them into your phone

settings --> Wireless and networksettings --> Mobile networks --> Access point names (or something like that.. it's dutch here :p) --> 'Menu button' --> New APN
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriel:
well tnx you sir for the advice.. will be talking to customer servie tomorrow morning.. hope this one will fix the issue.. but again i think same problem will arise if ever i will be going outside the philippines.. sigh...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
im pretty sure you can google the apn settings of your provider.. no need to bother the customer service ;)
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
I wanted to test the unlock i did on my phone yesterday, so i put my brothers tmobile sim card in my phone, but all it did was show a sim card icon at the top of the status bar, and i didn't have signal. so i just figured the unlock didn't work.

Then when my brother put his sim card back in his phone, his wasn't working. apparently the sim was reformatted or something, and now he has to get a new sim. anyone heard of this before? also should i try another sim card, or will it just destroy that one too?
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
you forgot to select network operators in the wireless settings. in the wireless and network setting select mobile network then select network operators your phone will then scan available network operators and show you at&t or t-mobile after the scan. since you want t-mobile simply select it.
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
would that have made his sim card work again if my phone recognized the network? or was that just something weird that happened. I am new to the whole unlocking deal.

Thanks for the help, I am a little nervous to try it now, as i dont want to mess up his card again! :/
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
you should be fine. is your contact actually stored on your sim? ,maybe your brother's sim is empty but his contacts are stored in his phone. contacts stored in sim card are not easily get deleted than contacts stored in phone simply import you phone contacts to your sim to be safe.
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
my contacts are fine, but his phone actually would not work when he put his sim card back in his phone. it's just a regular dumbphone, but he didn't have signal or anything. Do you know what would cause that?
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
there must be an option somewhere in his phone to select the wireless network he has. what phone he is using? maybe a simple reboot on his phone with his sim card already in place would do.
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
yea maybe, i think he was going to go to tmobile this morning.. i guess i can't really call him to have him try though! :)

anyway i'll see if he will be brave enough to let me try again! thanks for the help!
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
I may understand sim cards wrong but from what I understand the sim does not announce to the carrier hey this is eric shins phone. It instead just broad casts a number the carrier sees the number and associates it with eric shins number. That's why you can buy a prepaid att phone call the company up, give them the sim number and they can connect that with your phone.

More then likely the sim was physically damaged
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
hmm.. that does make sense. I thought i had heard of other people just popping in other people's sim cards and it wasn't a problem, but i don't know.

Just kinda strange that it was working before , and after i tried it, his phone no longer worked. Maybe it was damaged when he took it out or put it in, but from my experience they are pretty sturdy pieces of plastic!

i'll have to see what he says when he gets it fixed.
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
hmnn... thats what I thought because the op post that somewhere in the process when putting back in the sim he see's it was reformatted. just like putting an sd card with my other phone that is not samsung it can't read/open files unless you format it that would surely delete the data in it. in his instance without a warning it automatically formatted the sim and deleted all the data in it which would make it useless. in his case the sim card before is associated with the network but somehow reformatted and the data in it was lost.
[Captivate General] drizzle67:
so he went to tmobile today and got a new sim card, and everything works again.

maybe it did get damaged in the process.. who knows now!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powduh09:
I found a guide in the general section here that shows how to setup your sdcard with two ext3 partitions a swap partition and the normal one. I followed the guide pretty close except I named my three new partitions ext3-1 ext3-2 and swap, respectively. However I have noticed since downloading a few different gingerbread roms that none of the roms will allow me to mount any of the ext partitions, I tried mounting them in recovery and get an error. Just curious as to what could be the issue, I used mini tool partition wizard home to create the layout. Anyone have any ideas as to why I cant get access to the newly created ext partitions?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsolo:
You can't in WP7. See my post in the other thread on this subject.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loki1973:
IMHO this is a BIG miss in WP7.

I loved that on WinMo6.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
This will probably be included in those enterprise/business parts of future updates they've discussed. Their first target (obviously) was consumers, but they'll be adding more enterprise features. People forget that Windows Mobile was the complete opposite, it was a business oriented approach, as smart phones in the early 2000s/Razr days were only for businessmen, and then a consumer driven change. That's why it failed so miserably in the modern market. I love this feature if you use your phone for work, but the truth is, the majority of people don't care. I do hope it gets implemented soon though.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I hope it will come soon.

In my opinion this is not only a 'business' feature. Even mass consumers do not want to be awaken in the middle of the night because they receive emails :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
Well, then you'd need to be more worried about a way to turn off system wide notifications lol, in the world of Facebook, your phone goes off ALL night. I know I get about 20 notifications an hour, doesn't matter whether I'm awake or asleep. I'm not sure of your age group though lol, I'm 24 with 1,100 friends.

But I do agree it should be implemented at some point, though I never really used it, if ever.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
We will likely see this in Apollo. I don't have any notification sounds for emails so I don't care much, but I do understand its a desired feature for some.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orangekid:
check it,

so yesterday a friend comes up to me with a "pocket pc" and asks me back up his contacts. I take a look at this thing it looks freaking ancient, like something moses probably used to keep track of his contacts while crossing the desert.

My first ppc was the Diamond (and man did I love that phone) and I am currently on an HD2 so I know all of the tricks, hacks, mods etc... I think this thing he gave me runs winmo 2003 or something, I didn't bother checking the exact version.

I installed activesync but he had some crazy retractable cord instead of an OEM usb and I think it was the reason the computer couldn't recognize the connection. I tried it on 2 different xp machines with AS4.5 and could not get it to sync no matter what I did. So my plan is to use PIM backup to back up his contacts.

This dude is not tech savvy at all, so if he wants to restore he may have a problem, I'd like to turn the pim backup file into an actual spreadsheet or outlook file that can just be imported, but because I've got WP7 on my HD2 NAND I can't use it import the pim file to AS it to outlook either. So here are my questions:

1) is there a way to convert the pimbackup file into something importable into outlook without using AS?

2) is there some driver I might be missing causing the xp machine not to sync with this ppc other than what AS provides or is it probably that stupid cord?

3) is there a free backup ppc app besides pim that can backup the contacts into something I can put on an SD card and import into outlook?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RumoredNow:
LOL - now I'm too curious since I went to High School with Moses. :rolleyes:

What exactly is the device??? Any chance to set up a VPN via WiFi or Bluetooth and get at syncing or transferring the data that way?

Does it get power via the retractable? Does XP even see the thing? I bet he's got a funky socket on his end doesn't he?

OEM sync-ware?

IDK what device you're cussing at, so it makes all the questions rather generic.

Old device specs and some firmware repositories are here:

http://www.pdadb.net/

http://pocketpccentral.net/

If it's an older OS than WM 2003 ActiveSync 4.5 might not support it.

Wanna try your luck with ActiveSync 3.7.1??? Noah saved this copy by putting it on the Ark and he let me borrow it. :p

http://www.mediafire.com/?88xr4pjl14x7883

You may need an older Outlook too... My connection is slow, but I can upload a stand alone installer for Outlook 2002... IF you gotta have it. (It's a big file.)

I have AS 4.2 around as well, but maybe you're better off reaching waaaay back. ;)

<edit>

Update...

So... If the device is older than CE 2.1 you'll have to find an older ActiveSync...

[HTC EVO 3D] DirtyShroomz:
Looks to be the Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Award Tour:
Looks like the Adreno 220 scored just 1 frame under the GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt when compared to the Galaxy S (Epic 4G, and hopefully soon to to be Nexus S 4G). Kind of surprising to see how well the hummingbird still holds up.

Edit: The resolution IS higher though. So the Adreno 220 seems to be a bit better but will/should perform very similarly in use. That's IF this is real.

Sure sense is still there taking up space, but how much space do you need on your phone?

That would be alot of res for a 2.7 inch screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Yea, where are you getting 2'7"
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I googled 960 x 540 screen, first result is 2.7 in screen. I may be wrong on that....:confused:

http://www.google.com/search?q=960+...=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=7baa05c8a727054d

OK that is resolution, at 2.7 it is 413 pixels per sq inch. My bad, well is says screen size, so convert that and thats the screen size, no?
[HTC EVO 3D] oddlou:
You are quite probably wrong. 960x540 just refers to the screen resolution. Assuming a similar size to the Evo's screen, 960x540 would make for a higher dpi than we currently have with our Evos. With the ratio being a little different 1.78(rounded) than the current 1.67 (rounded) you can expect a slightly more elongated screen. The 1.78 of the new screen (if it's true), interestingly is 16:9, which would make the screen the standard widescreen dimensions. I'd guess the screen is actually a 4.4 inch screen like the Droid X with a better resolution.

[HTC EVO 3D] r916:
Then you don't have to.

I can't wait til CTIA, I'm getting this beast once it comes out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Award Tour:
The upcoming Qualcomm dual core CPU's are based on the older Cortex A8 cores which are about 25% slower than the newer A9's. It's not BS, it's pretty much known. These specs if true, notice how I was skeptical on my first post, would be in line with what I've already read and thought.

I like anyone else should want good tech, does this mean that this phone CPU will be garbage? No, but like any other feature or spec, it should be taken into consideration. I don't even know why you take offense to this, no reason to get emotionally attached to a phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Hey now! I am emotionally attached to my Evo :)

I can return it, and wait for this new Evo. But truthfully I think sprint is rushing thus phone out due to the big FAIL of the echo announcement. Had that panned out like they hoped this new Evo wouldn't be near release. IMO

[HTC EVO 3D] stimpyshaun:
the scorpion CPU is not an A8... but it is the same arm instruction set used in both the A8 and the A 9. it has more similarity to the A8 but is using many features that are now found in the A9s coming out (look it up if u care). It has half the L2 cache as most of the newer A9s, but it will perform just fine compared to the A9s which is pretty good considering its age.
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
True...thanks for pointing that out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Award Tour:
I already did, which is why I called it A8 based. It was designed around the A8, not A9. Double the L2 cache will help the A9s to perform faster and at lower power consumption. It's not a spec to just brush aside; and there are other significant advantages to the A9 and Tegra 2 specifically.

There's pretty much no doubt that the upcoming dual core from qualcomm will trail the Tegra 2 and new OMAP in CPU performance but what I'm worried about the most is power consumptions, and the Scorpion dual cores have several clear disadvantages. If these leaked benchmarks are true, then even the Adreno 220 isn't that great when compared to the Tegra 2 / new OMAP. Once the upclocked Tegra 2's hit in mid summer, it will be gapped even more. Like usual, they are hanging on to outdated designs. Are we forgetting that HTC/Qualcomm have a history of doing this?
[HTC EVO 3D] popular nobody:
Award Tour, I think you over-analyse the crap out these devices. CPU for CPU, GPU for GPU, reading each benchmark, watching numerous speeds test. You're never going to be satisfied with your device, and that has to suck. Today's technology means the hottest gadget today, will become outdated tomorrow.
