I did a factory reset 2 weeks ago, because when I uninstalled launcher pro, my dx went black. reboots did not help. Since that factory reset, everything has appeared to be fine though. I just read the big read stickied warning, and figured I better ask about the potential issue.

View 5 Replies View Relatedwhen I opened Handcent SMS on my phone, it came up with a white screen that I had assumed was just a bug, but after sending a text message,I realized that all of my previous messages had been lost or deleted for some reason. Absolutely nothing happened between last night and this morning that would have led me to expect such a result, and as you can imagine I'm pretty upset about the data loss. If you have any suggestions for steps to take, I would sincerely appreciate them. My phone is not rooted or anything of the sort if that changes anything. Also, I've been using SMS backup to back up to my gmail, but there are some longer texts that Handcent converts to MMS that were not backed up.

I always assumed it was the browser as the vpn to work is still connected. I recently downloaded weather bug and have noticed that when I can't view a web page I also loose all weather access. (vpn still shows connected) If I shut down my phone and restart it things work great.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I had Pete's virgin 2.2 release on my phone, ran fine, full root access.
Sapphire 7.0 was released, so what the heck, I formatted system/cache, and installed.
But...lost root somehow. No SU app, no access.
Applied su.zip in Recovery to regain access. Didn't work...
Applied it a few more times, rebooted...nada.
Wiped system/cache and installed CM6 Alpha 3...no root. Applied su.zip, still no su app, no root.
Nandroided back to my backup of Pete's virgin 2.2 release. Root.
Wiped system/cache, installed CM6 Alpha 3, no root.
W-T-F?
Never seen this before...always wipe system/cache before a new ROM, never lost root before.
Really appreciate any suggestions...I have access to CW recovery.
Don't understand how flashing a rooted ROM could leave me w/out root access, or why installing an su zip doesn't add SU back in.
1. I connect my phone to my PC and copy mp3 files to the phone's sd card. But then immediately when it's done it's all gone again! The files just don't stay there.
2. Taking photos, lots of them age getting corrupted.
Could this be a quality issue with the SD card?? Admittedly i got 32gb for only $50. Could it be as simple as that ?
I've had unaccountable SD card memory loss since the update. Is it the upgrade or one of the apps I've downloaded since then. It seems to happen when I use picsaypro and an online animator even if I don't save anything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI keep having this problem with my Moment where it will refuse to do data connections. Sometimes rebooting helps, sometimes it doesn't. It happened three times today, and I was ready to throw my phone out the car window. It's happened on and off since I got the phone 2 months ago. I hoped it would go away after I updated to 2.1, but no dice. My wife, who doesn't use the phone as heavily, doesn't have these problems. Some days (like today) it seems worse than others. I see scattered forum posts about "evdo lockup" and "cdma lockup", but no real idea of how to diagnose what the problem is, and more importantly, whether it's worth taking it back to Sprint and trying to get them to do somethin.
View 19 Replies View RelatedAm a MMX A110 user, the phone is really great apart from occasional hanging. yesterday, it got hang when I tried to open the gallery, then I had no other option other than to remove the battery and turn on. When I turned it on, I was caught by surprise ,the apps which were moved to SD card where missing and the app list in settings shows some damaged icon then I rushed to gallery to find out wats happening. All my 300 photos were lost. Except my contacts and messages everything were corrupted. Though I recovered most of the lost stuff. I still lost many important memories. Later, I formatted my memory card to solve this issue.
1)a backup app which can function without internet connection and can synchronize it with my computer
2)Security app something like an antivirus.
I bought one of the $4 batteries from Amazon. I dropped the Droid from several low levels at several angles and it never rebooted. Clearly the original battery was just slightly smaller dimensionally to allow a brief but significant loss of contact with the Droid. Verizon did send me a "refurb" but I send it back with a note that it was unacceptable to send a phone which at one time had someone else's problems in it as a replacement. I'm so very glad I did.

i have a X10. I had loaded all of my contacts from BB via BT (weeks ago). Yesterday I noticed that all my contacts disappeared. Just says: "no contacts". The last thing I remember I did was an update to google maps (it took forever to load and yet the application does not work) The other key piece of info is that I use DME for corporate data syncing, emails etc.

Do I have to copy and paste my EXT2 files to my main partition of the SD Card and change the partition size and paste it back into EXT2?
Is it also possible if I do this without having to lose all of my data?
Running 2.1 dd03. I've had a few issues, the worst being-
- Occasional complete data connection loss with no 3g/1x icon (never with 1.5)
- Google voice search works from the soft keyboard but prompts "server problem" from the widget.
- Tower based location puts me 20 miles away from home in the same place all the time (cj05 days are here again).
- Phone turns on by itself when charging and occupationally unlocks and stays on (never in 1.5)
- Phone seems to heat up more and burn battery more rapidly (vs 1.5) when in low or no signal area.
Here's the new one I had this morning. I received a call, but when attempting to answer dropped/lost the call. I went to the call log and re called the number, connecting with the other parties voicemail. After leaving a message, I hung up with the red hard button. After a short time I tried to call again, but the phone wouldn't connect (stayed on dialing). I pressed the red button to cancel the call and then pressed again to turn off the phone. The screen would not turn off. I could navigate the home screen and pull down notifications, so it wasn't locked up, but I couldn't turn off the screen. The red button would quit apps, so its press was registering, but a long press didn't bring up the power off menu. I had to pull the battery to power down. This is a long way from a release OS version. Fix soon.
Does anyone know how I can turn that "Verizon Loss of Service" voice off on my Ally?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a web service, .asmx that when consumed gives a response in the form:
<lData>
<name>...</name>
<posx>..</posx>
<posy>...</posy>
</lData>
I use Ksoap2 to consume the web service in Android, and I see the response as a string anyType {lData=anyType{name=....;posx=....;posy=....;};}
So, I get the right data from my web service, but i don't know how to parse it correctly.
I want to find a way to iterate through the different nodes.
I have tried to use a SAXParser, but can't seem to understand what I should use instead of the url. In the tutotirals I have followed the link to a xml-file on a url, but my url is only part "finished" since i need to consume the web service first. code...
Is this above something I should use, but have another openStream?
I've a service that is receiving UDP data from the network. I want to push this data from the service to a UI activity.
One way to do it is using broadcast Intents. What is the performance overhead of sending broadcasts frequently from the service to the activities?
Are there any other alternatives for doing this?
I wanna develop an app that uses CSD or Data channel of GSM Service to send data. Can anyone help me out with it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy droid razr was installing an automatic update, made an error and then failed ultimately. It happened over night, so I wasn't even paying attention to it. This morning it was stuck with no service, no data, nothing. I tried turning it off and then back on, putting airplane mode on and then off. No luck. I then did a factory reset. Now it just says "please wait, this may take a few minutes." It does not change. I waited as long as the batter would stay charged. Still nothing.
I also tried re activating it on the verizon wireless website. No luck.
Several Droid users have reported that my app's entire database just destroys itself randomly after a few days or so. This seems to be specific to the Droid. I'm at a loss. My app has a service that runs in the background to display notifications, it also supports widgets. Both of those (and the app itself, of course) access the database, and I marked every accessor to the database "synchronized", just in case. Any remote idea what could cause the entire database to just vanish?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just had the WORST customer service experience EVER with Motorola. It started early last week, and is continuing through today. Suffices to say, the automated system is useless, the customer service reps are all in Argentina, and no one hears what you say. They only hear what they have been trained to hear, and can not think outside of their little scripts at all. If I hear " I really do apologize for the inconvenience, can you hold while I look that up" one more time, my head is going to explode.Does anyone have an email address for someone in Motorola Corporate that deals with the Consumer Electronics portion of the business? Preferably someone with a title of VP or such? I'd like to have a nice conversation with them.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm stuck on a tough architectural problem. I have a collection of web services that produce data that will populate UI components - Text Views, List Views, and so on. Each web service may take up to about 10 seconds to respond, or it might not respond at all. When I click a button in the UI that requires data from the web services I need to show a Progress Dialog until either the data arrives or it times out. I'm pretty sure that an Intent Service is the best way to wrap the web services. From the documents (http://developer.android.com/reference/ android/app/Intent Service.html) "This "work queue processor" pattern is commonly used to offload tasks from an application's main thread." Also "Note that unlike other application components, calls on to the IBinder interface returned here may not happen on the main thread of the process."
The UI needs to get data back (asynchronously) from the Intent Service, which means using AIDL, onBind, and all that. But from the documents (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/aidl.html) we have "By default, IPC calls are synchronous. If you know that an IPC service takes more than a few milliseconds to complete, you should not call it in the Activity/View thread, because it might hang the application (Android might display an "Application is Not Responding" dialog). Try to call them in a separate thread." Of course, that "separate thread" stuff in the AIDL docs in nonsense. If you spawn a separate thread in an Activity it will get blown up in On Destroy. But what do they mean by "By default"? Are there cases where the IPC can be asynchronous? Is that what is meant by the text in the Intent Service docs "may not happen on the main thread"? How does this work?
I have created an activity that calls a service. This service receive an XML feed and parse the info. Each time I get the info for a new station i want to send the details (Name,Id,Location all as string) back to my main activity so it can load it inside a list view. When I run my code inside the main activity it works. When I move it to a service I cant send the data back. This is what I have tried. After getting the current station info from I do this: submit Station(namer, loc, ids, dis, types); then: private void submit Station(String names, String loca, String idss, String diss, String typess){Intent intent = new Intent(NEW_STATION_LISTING); intent.putExtra("Station Name",names); intent.putExtra("Sid", loca); intent.putExtra("StationLoc", idss); intent.putExtra("Distance", diss); intent.putExtra("Types", typess);send Broadcast(intent);}
View 3 Replies View RelatedI updated to Froyo this morning.I noticed I wasn't getting any data service on my phone so I ran the *228 thing. Phone rebooted and problem was solved.Sort off.I turned the phone off at lunch 'cuz I wanted to see the awesome boot animation. When the phone turned back on, there was no data service. I've now found that if I do the *228 thing it fixes the problem, but only until I reboot again. I've gone into the wireless and network settings and Mobile Network is checked and stuck at turning on. Do I need to do a factory reset to fix this? I've got a back up with My Backup Pro so it's not a huge deal if I do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just started using services in Android and I have a made a simple service that is polling a server every 20 seconds. Now how can I get this data from my main activity (when it is active)? Alternatively the service could send it back do my main activity (but only if its active). I don't want to wake up my activity. I have read SDK examples of "Binding" but I can't find an example how to actually get something from the service. Just how to start and stop the Binding. From the example. If I have the "mBoundService" object in my activity how do I get my data from the service method called eg. "polling Data()"?
