[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] us3inwi:
I just bought me and my daughter HTC 8125's about 2 weeks ago on ebay. The other day she decided that she was going to put on a password and now she can't get on it. I've searched around on numerous sites, including here, of what to do. I've read to do a hard reset, so I did that and I get to a screen that says to press send for it to reset. I push the send button and nothing happens, the screen just sits there (for hrs even) now I don't know what to do. Can someone please give me some advice before this thing just gets tossed into the "drawer of old, dead and broken phones". (I really regret buying these things, not only because of this, I just really don't like the phones in general and can't return them)

Also Thank you for any advice you can give.

We really need to rally and get Google to fix some major issues with the Android OS. If Android is going to be truly universal and be able to compete, and beat Apple, it needs to at least be able to do what it can do. Please read: http://claar.org/blog/?p=180 and call, email, post, blog, whatever you can to get Googles attention on these issues.

And thank you for your support.

P.S. Pass this url on to every android user you can.

Don't gey me wrong, I love my Android phone, just saying that Google is missing the boat on the Enterprise side of things. Used to have an iPod touch that worked flawlessly on our corporate intranet, can't say the same for my dinc. As the workforce continues to become more mobile, they'll be carrying iPads instead of Xooms or Galaxy tabs.

id rater use a PC or laptop. but yha.

i cant go suport this.because my android does what it needs to do.

Universally, I don't understand Googles LACK of contact and attention to it's customers. Like most people are aware that e-mailing google is a complete WASTE OF TIME. I'd love to meet someone who has yet to actually get a meaningful response from google. I understand that they are a HUGE company and can easily get overwhelmed by emails, but the complete lack of response in general is UNACCEPTABLE. Why do they act this way, ESPECIALLY to their customers? Eitherway, they should respond in some way to all emails, understandable for free products, but for PAYING customers like us Android users, should get a response.

Google is worse than Sprint when it comes to response. I don't get it or understand.

I'm an IT Director for a medium sized medical manufacturing company and I've been testing ipads as a laptop alternative for our salesforce, and I have to say, I would be absolutely pissed if I had to use an ipad(or any tablet for that matter) for work.

Don't get me wrong. They work. But do you want to do all your work on them? HELL NO.

I have a remote desktop app on my mytouch 4g and I use it every now and then when I need to fix something or get onto the server for any reason. That doesn't mean I'm going to ditch my computer because my phone is capable of doing something my laptop does. Tablets, smartphones, mobile devices in general...they should be used to supplement computers, not replace them.

And as far as google 'not listening to their customers', you obviously haven't been on any sort of development team before. Especially not one that had any sort of fast progress. I don't know if you've noticed, but chip manufacturers have released dual core mobile cpu's. So google can either work on your vpn problem and appease a small number of enterprise users(people who will actually use a vpn on their phones), or they can concentrate on optimizing their code so it will work well with the next generation of hardware. They're obviously going to concentrate their manpower(or womanpower) on development for next-gen hardware. If the support ticket exists, they'll work on it. But there are thousands of them, and people need to realize that just because it's important to you specifically, doesn't mean it's an important problem. VPN access doesn't effect the overall functionality of the os during normal use, so it's going be put on the back burner, that doesn't mean it won't be fixed.

And whoever said go to pta meetings, PTA = parent teachers association. Good luck getting heard there.

While on the subject of fixes, I'm more concerned about linked market data and being able to transfer purchases to different accounts. I.E. switching from a google apps account to a gmail account. Also, the 'master account' crap. There should be a way to change which login you use to connect to gtalk and the market without having to reset your device to factory. That just sucks.

LOL, I used to get those "wake-up" calls from the 3rd shift platform operators. I got my butt out of bed, got on my PC and fixed the problem or marked it "next day" and fixed it when I got to work.

I can't see using a phone's screen size to debug a couple hundred lines of JCL or batch COBOL program :) Not to mention, I was usually talking to the operator at the same time I needed to see something on the PC; very hard to do with a phone.

Can it connect to Microsoft's pptp? Yes - http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/smartphones/connect-to-a-pptp-vpn-from-your-android-phone/2145

problem 1. You can connect to a proxy (unless i'm not understanding your complaint) There's Proxy options under the settings menu.

Problem 2. I've noticed this but apparently some 3rd party browsers can do it.

Problem 3. Not sure about this one, but i connect to many different networks (public, domestic and at uni) and have never had a problem like this.

What you're saying is that you have various problems that the vast majority of people will never experience and you are wondering why Google aren't dropping everything to fix it immediately? These problems (to me at least) seem incredibly minor.
[Android Software Development] hesh.monster:
Because they already have your money, therefor they could care less. And they will continue to get your money, his money, her money etc because they make a product and provide a service that we all have come to rely on. They've got the hook set, you can't break free and they can let us dangle as long as they want.

But maybe the combination of google, samsung, and verizon has destroyed my outlook.

I think many of these issues will take a long long time to see resolved.

You need to consider what motivates google RE Android. Hint: It is not paying customers.

Thing is, normal market forces are not at work in the Android space. This is

my BIGGEST issue with Android.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
@andmiller

You don't think your needs are most important ones, do you? There are many, many things to do, not only these mentioned by you.

For me your "This is Important" bugs are minor. Actually I didn't know about them to this time. I care much more about NDK APIs, performance and UI improvements and this is exactly what Google does.

Also there is one good reason to focus on new APIs, standard libraries, developer tools, etc.: Google is only one who can improve them and sooner is better. They could fix bugs at any time, they could also port them to older versions of OS. But if they add new API, it will take some time for developers to use it, because new API won't be supported by most of devices. So it's much better to work on a new features first and fix minor bugs later.
[Android Software Development] billydroid:
You have got that completely backwards. Iphone is not normal market space. Each manufacturer running android os have to set themselves apart from each other, hence skinning the os. If customers demand, need it, it will get fixed or innovated.

Apple controls all, What they say goes. Example: no flash, theming....

Amazon drops their android app store on tues. Why, market forces.

> Can it connect to Microsoft's pptp? Yes - http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/sma...oid-phone/2145

No, or at least, not for several hundred people at least, some who have even provided logs of both sides of the conversation. Some bug comments are from companies, representing complaints from their customer base, so it is probably more. I could write an article that shows how to do it, too, but that doesn't mean that I've tested all combinations. If the author's VPN was not encrypted, he wouldn't have seen the problem, and--since his connection worked, and there's that encryption checkbox--he might have just assumed it worked. He might have even tried it: You can connect with encryption, you just can't stay connected for any length of time.

> problem 1. You can connect to a proxy (unless i'm not understanding your complaint) There's Proxy options under the settings menu.

I can manually set a proxy, although there are reports that this is not a standard part of android, but a value-add by the phone mfr. A third-party program could perhaps recognize which WAP I connect to and set values accordingly, but only if I want everything to go through the proxy, and not just some things. That would have worked at HP, but my ulterior motive is to proxy a specific blocked port so that I can pop my email to my wifi tab. OK, I'll admit, my actual reason isn't a compelling case for Google! ;-)

> Problem 2. I've noticed this but apparently some 3rd party browsers can do it.

I'm not surprised that some clever programmer patched around the breakage, but it needs to be solved generally. Really, this and VPN are the most important issues for me.

> Problem 3. Not sure about this one, but i connect to many different networks (public, domestic and at uni) and have never had a problem like this.

You have never had a problem like this that you know of! Most folks have been bitten by this when the run into a place with short leases, and only find out--if they do--by accident, since most places don't check for violators.
[Android Software Development] dclaar:
Other comments

For the person who asserted that these are fixed in the latest release, that doesn't appear to be the case, according to the bug reports.

Are there really people who use their portable device for work? Not if it is android-based! (I know, cheap shot, but--for many of us--a true statement).

I have a galaxy tab. With working VPN and ssh, I could login and do a simple database change "echo blah blah blah|mysql", restart a job, whatever. I'm not going to write a couple of thousand lines of code, but I might look at a couple of thousand lines of a log file! Instead, I have to fire up the PC, which means I have to be around the PC, and I'd rather have the freedom of mobility.

This may be a totally dumb question and annoying to some, but here we go anyway...Can anyone tell me if it causes problems to move all of your apps to the sd card????

Thanks folks...
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
how are you moving them there?

Some apps shouldnt be run from the sd card. (Flash)

If you are moving them with the built in way, then it will only allow you to move apps then can be moved, so feel free to move them all!

Thanks my friend
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Most are fine. I think titanium only moves the ones that are okay to...

I wouldnt move browser pluggins (flash)

or widgets as the other user said. pretty much everything else is okay. Remember though, if you unmount your sd card, or sync it with your computer you wont be able to use those apps.
[EVO 4G General] DaEXfactoR:
So if TB moves them it should be ok, except if they are running widgets...

[Xoom General] bgmncwj:
Just a heads up for everybody; I'd recommend calling Verizon and adding the text messaging block to your account. I called last week about it since I noticed the per txt service code on my account but was assured that since my device didn't receive text messages I wouldn't ever be charged.

Sure enough I noticed on my account online that somebody tried sending me a message and sure enough verizon was going to charge me. I had to call in and get the block added (this time they actually did it, she mentioned that the first person should've just done it when I asked) and credited me back the 20 cents (!) for the text message I supposedly received.

Just wanted to warn everybody to keep an eye on their bill.
[Xoom General] eatonjb:
the question is, can i put a text plan on my Xoom , and how to I get txt messages if I did?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
Just a note to those that are saying that Skype isn't working: I used to have problems on my HTC Uni depending on which ROM I flashed. I know most will have their favourite ROM (and it's cracking a nut with a sledgehammer), but if you want to investigate try flashing another ROM to see if it helps. I found Skype would sometimes just show startup screen with wait cursor and that was it. Hope this helps someone!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
@c_shekhar

i have used "AudioRoute", and yes it is not so good, however i could create a mortscript that simply switches the registry dword to enable the device loudspeaker..

if people need and want it?

it would be better than installing additional programs and alot lower in memory usage too ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
fyi i tried "WM Audio Redirector" but only a white screen appeared when clicking on the .exe :confused:

however ive made the mortscript to turn loudspeaker etc on..

RegwriteDword("HKLM", "System\state\hardware","speaker", "1")
Vibrate(50)

(a vibrate at end of script to comfirm the script has worked, obviously change 1 to 0 to switch betwene the two functions)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fazanatas:
everything is fine now for me. reinstalled it and now i can use it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
May be you are right.

But, the advantage with "audioroute" is that it sets an icon in the topbar and easier to make re-routing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raving_nanza:
the icon you refer to is ugly :rolleyes:

how hard would it be to develop a new app to switch the audio from front/rear speaker, (with an icon on topbar for which speaker is in use)

surely this would not be that hard to achieve?

(the source for audioroute/audio switch is avaliable btw)
