Hello, I accidently deleted the Transformers movie off my storage card when I formatted it. Can someone upload it on here for me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
that question has been posted so many times on here, pcgeeks, and tmobiles forums, nobody has been able to zip up the contents and upload it somewhere unfortunately
if i hadnt done the same thing i would gladly do it.
i have heard others say to go to a tmobile store and bring a laptop to transfer the files, but not sure if that works.
also, others have suggested calling HTC and see if they can send you a replacement card, but they may charge you like $70.
i still have it but im not sure about posting those videos online. idk if its considered piracy since our devices came with the movie. if its okay i'll make a torrent of those two movies.
mods is it okay to post or is it considered piracy?
Its piracy if someone other than an owner of the t-mobile HD2 were to download it but you should make the file pass protected and post it on this thread or something so as to cut down on piracy.
Well I actually own the phone though, I never even got to see all of it! Could someone make it password protected for only me to download? I asked HTC (they respond within a few hours) and said that I would need to contact t-mobile.
do u have a torrent client? i could post em up by torrent and seed just for you.
i might as well upload on megaupload but that may take forever.
pretty sure it piracy and just by xda-developers keeping this thread open is open to them getting in trouble. I would suggest PMing if you guys wish to keep this conversation open.
Yes I also need a Magnet link in My PM for a Torrent backup of the missing movies, I bought mine on craigslist today from a young Vietnamese kid who said the phone was too big, sdCard was formatted already, but got it for $300 bucks cannot complain!!!!
Still would like the transformer films
still open for people who'd like to help us!
......bump!
Let me try and be as clear as possible about this:
It is illegal for anyone to post a copy of those movies online. In any form.
The problem isn't whether or not you have the right to watch or download the movie.
The problem is that only the copyright holders of the movies have the right to control the distribution of their content. The copyright holders did grant the rights to distribute the movie to the new owners of an HD2 strictly to T-Mobile and under very specific circumstances.
Not you, not I, not even T-Mobile can give you a new copy of these movies legally. Any promises otherwise are made either in ignorance of the law or in direct violation of it.
You can own 20 DVD copies of these movies, bought direct from the producer and you still do not have the legal right to distribute them to other people. You do not even have the right to download them from someone else, if that person does not have written permission from the copyright-holder(s).
It is not about who owns what, it's about who has the right to distribute it and how.
T-Mobile does not own the right to distribute the movies. They have leased the option to distribute them via very specific circumstances. If they offered these movies to their customers via any other method, without leasing the right to do so, they could and would be sued.
Please do not post links to or offer to post links to any copyrighted material on this website.

I got rid of the movies when I reformatted my disk. I still have the transfomers icon though. When i tap it says the movies are not able to be found.' Thats fine. However, i would like to map the icon to a file on my disk called movies" and have them show up. Does anyone know the registry chain that will allow me to do this?
Thanks.

You can't others have already tried, there is a whole thread about this very issue.
As for people who have formatted their cards there are two outcomes. One if you do not have a tmobile store near you, you're SOL and won't be able to get the movies back.
The other option is go into your local T-mobile store and see if they have any HD2s in returns and see if they are willing to trade SD Cards with you. Back up all your stuff on your original card first before going into the store. If they swap the card for you then go home and copy the movies to your computer for backup. That way if you delete them again for some reason they are saved on your computer. Just copy them back to your SDCard in this file order: Sdcard->Transformers->Movie Files.
just go download the movie, convert to mp4 format and change the file name to match the program... i
Agree with Snarksneeze.
@froggylover1345,
What you are requesting is pirated material (whether you owned the movie or not). It is against forum rules to request any kind of copyrighted material unless it is explicitly written by the author of such that it is ok to share it (and something tells me that Michael Bay hasn't told any of us that it could be done).
Having said this,
a. Don't request this kind of material (against it is against forum rules)... consider this a "friendly warning".
b. I am closing this thread before someone does get a chance to upload the movie in here...

I have wanted to use WM Torrent for my HD2, now i use to download torrents from home, i had recently received a letter from my local service provider that my IP address was found with suspicious activity. i only downloaded old movies, and tv shows, nothing big, not like i was selling them., any way, so i was wondering, is there safe and secure way when using the "WM Torrent" app for the HD2? just want to be sure.

I guarantee you will stick out like a sore thumb if you start torrenting over your cellphone!
im with you. I turn my up/l down all the way trio slow up their effort. but I know that's not a fix all.
its a great app, how can we get it to work better!
on a side note, downloading torrents is not illegal at all, it is when you download warez and pirated movies and stuff like that when it becomes illegal.
ya,kinda figured i just download tv shows i miss cause of work and school,hate waiting 3 or 4 days for them to show up on website. ill give it a try,maybe look for a torrent privacy progran compatable for smartphones.
UseNet
You may want to look into UseNet (SSL Usenet).
There's a UseNet application for Windows Mobile called NZB Mobile.
if youre set on doing this, why not just tether your laptop to the phone or get a usb wifi stick if its a desktop and torrent using a full fledged client on a pc?
You're likely going to hit your 5gb monthly limit pretty quick
As stated previously, either look into Usenet, or purchase a VPN Subscription (cheaper than usenet). I have been using StrongVPN for a while now, and PPTP is perfectly fine for your needs (OpenVPN 2048 bit encryption is an overkill).
Torrents is not the way to go.
Really your best bet is to not download tv shows, I have been around since the AOL days of downloading, talking about private room .............., irc, etc.
Several people have told me they have received letters from their ISP, I do not understand, first off, I rarely use torrents.
Your best bet is to legally wait the extra days and just watch the tv show on the Networks website. If you're looking into watching your shows on your HD2, you may want to get a DVR that is capable of being hacked, at least that way you can download the shows you record to your PC, or better yet, get a TV Tuner card for your computer and record the shows directly to your hard drive.
Stay away from torrents and UseNet unless you plan to download LEGAL files.
Suprised the Mods that be are even allowing us to discuss this topic.
Good Luck, need any help looking for a good TV Tuner Card, let me know.

I in no way endorse or condone piracy in any way. I posted to offer methods that will keep the OP anonymous while downloading/browsing the internet. What he/she chooses to do with that is totally up to them. Nothing illegal has been discussed here, VPN's are perfectly legal.
a bit OT but if youre strictly downloading tv shows that just seems like a gray area to me, its content that was previously provided for free, and theres nothing illegal about recording tv broadcasts, and the networks generally provide the content for free on their websites after a period of time. I would kind of hope anyone that got dragged into court strictly over tv shows would have the case thrown out or just get a warning/slap on the wrist
Downloading movies and music is a whole nother beast in my opinon. Even though i hate the MPAA/RIAA with a passion,you deserve whats coming at you if youre downloading that content

More importantly, anyone else getting a virus hit on the file by the name of WS.Reputation.1?
I posted on this subject in the development thread.
I wasn't sure if this subject belongs here or there.
Now comes an article raising the possibility of the phone being blacklisted on the marketplace when MS detects the unlock has taken place:
http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/25/windows-phone-7-unlocker-released/
Worse than a virus hit. I actually got it. It changed my host file by adding a couple localhost redirects... Every time I clicked on a Google seach result, it would redirect me to some crappy excuse of a search engine. Relatively easy to fix though.
no virus hit and havent encountered the redirect problem... am wondering the same with the blacklist issue but i guess it will be a wait and see as with most unlock/jailbreak issues...

While MS might know if you unlock your phone to sideload apps I don't think they'll take the step of banning a user completely from the marketplace. Doing so would backfire because there is no way this user is ever going to pay for an app; he'll be forced to look for cracked ones, not something MS would want.
Also from this message, it doesn't seem they are taking this sideloading business too seriously, which is good. Now XDA, please bring on some goodies. I need a File Explorer and a Media Player like free version of old Core Player

After spending much of the past 24 hours trying to install both eLocity's latest firmware update (from 2/24/11) and DexMod 1.3 (so I can utilize Android Marketplace) I am probably going to give up and return my A7 to the retailer before my 30 days are up. Thank you to Dexter and everyone else who posted such informative and useful instructions on the A7 forum. I am perplexed as to why I was not successful in accomplishing the update and modification. I really do like the A7 and hate to return it, but whats the sense of owning a Android device if you can't utilize the Marketplace. Duh! I would even be willing to pay a nominal fee to a honest, tech-savvy individual to modify/update my A7 for me. Thanks again everyone, looks like I'll be shopping for a tablet thats a little more user-friendly.
Just my 2 cents... There is not eLocity (Stream TV Network) problem
Google denied Market at some tablets. G considered that their OS version 2.X is not compatible with tablets.
These tablets do not have Market "out-of-box":
Viewsonic G Tablet
Malata ZPad
Advent Vega
Archos (all versions)
etc...
Idk why Galaxy Tab has market "out-of-box". May be Samsung proved Google that it's big phone)))

Try nameing the file Update. Do not add the.dot zip, holding down the power button until the third line of text is seen then release will get you into program mode.. selling a tegra tablet to get anything other than another tegra is like going backwards...

Where are you located? I'm. Sure if there is a member here local to you, they'd be willing to help you out.
I'm enjoying my A7 but, I do have to give a certain amount of blame to Stream for the lack of user friendliness the device presents. There are all sorts of documentation out there for companies to reference when designing an Android device, giving them an outline of what will work. The choice to implement a code structure or hardware features that do not work or require a work-around is directly the fault of Stream, as testing should have revealed the issues.
Take a look at how long Dexter has been working on the mod many of us are using, the feedback people give after putting it through the "real world" challenge and then the subsequent updates from Dexter...if Stream did the testing and verifications on this product from concept to creation to now...someone needs to be fired or doesn't care. Without detracting from Dexter's efforts or anyone else contributing on this board but, if the customer base can put so many fixes in place:Why can't the OEM? Why are they so slow in comparison on responses? Why don't their updates fix the most common issues? How did they allow themselves to release a tablet without a proper OS and fail to do better funtionality testing?
I'm glad their are folks like Dexter out here and forums like XDA otherwise decent hardware like this would allow companies to seperate us from our dollars on inflated claims of fuctionality and force us to jump through hoops to get a remedy.

A7 Towel
Here are some quick things to know/try that work for me -
1. SD card must be formatted as FAT format, FAT32 is fine
2. Mod file is named update.zip in sd card, do not put it in any folder in the SD card
3. When you are powered down, if you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds and then release and then hold in again for a few seconds you will see, hold in for another 5 seconds to go to boot menu, immediately hold in for another 5 seconds and then release, you should see a android character, tap on home icon on right and it should go into a boot menu
4. Use the buttons on the tablet (home, etc on the right) to page down and up the list of selections. Top 2 buttons on the right are up and down. Second to bottom icon is select.
5. Scroll to "apply sdcard:update.zip"
6. Select that option (second to bottom icon on right of screen)
it should now apply the update.zip on your sd card. It could take a while.
If there are any errors then the update.zip file may be corrupted. All updates are over 90MB in size except for the patch that Dexter sent recently which is around 3MB.
Let us know if this works.
Thanks for the responses
I have done several times the instructions some of you have responded back with and watched several posts on YouTube also. Yes my card is formatted to Fat32 and yes I used a capital U on Update.zip. I have followed the instructions to a "t" for installing DexMod and Elocity's own instructions on their website in regards to the 2/24/11 update. My A7 simply would not recognize and open the SD card file and would then abort the program. I'm simply at a point where how much more of my time do I want to spend spinning my wheels on the A7 tablet in order to have access to the Android Marketplace. Thanks again everyone.
Please see my response at bottom.
A7 issue
sorry to hear that. I suspect your update.zip file is probably not being recognized as a zip file. mine is named update.zip, no uppercase anything. Sometimes there can be a hidden extension of another .zip so the system sees it as update.zip.zip
I downloaded the mod and renamed mine on my pc and then copied it directly to the microsd card. Sorry to hear about the time its taken you so far. As I said earlier I would be happy to work with you if you wish.
just to clarify, you can't really install the latest feb 24 update from elocity AND dexters elocitymod rom. Unless, that is, you take the mods that dexter has done and apply them to the latest elocity update and regression test it, debug it, etc... elocity did a fair job of putting out a cheap android tablet. they made some sacrifices on the hardware side - no multitouch and no hi res screen, but for the price, it's hard to beat. and dexter's mod makes the a7 infinitely more useful. have you tried other microsd cards? you can get cheap 2gb and 4gb ones at target or bestbuy. if those don't work, you can just return them. lots of people have been using dexter's elocitymod successfully. without it, i probably would have returned the a7 also. if you're looking for something a bit more polished, get ready to spend a bit more. samsung galaxy tab goes for about $600-$800 motorola xoom about the same price as well.
Did you check your sd card for bad sectors or tried a different sd card? Just curious.
Same problem adding Dexter Mod
I've just got the A7 and I'm following the threads about the Dexter Mod. I'm a little confused about 1- what to name the file...some say with a capital U and some not...2- with or without .zip...again same thing 3- can you use the 1.2 Mod after Elocity's latest firware update...the reason I ask this is because the link for 1.3 is down and I do have 1.2 on my pc for some reason.
On my sdcard it doesn't have a directory "ROOT" do i just copy it to the open card. So may questions...sorry about that, been at it for 3 hours and no success. Have to laugh tho....
BTW I have a file named LOST.DIR on the sdcard
file name
The file when you download it is already in zip form. All you need to do is rename it to ( update ).
Dexter Mod 1.3
Thank you. Just installed on 1 of my A7's but the 1.3 Mod...Was able to download it this morning, the site is back up again.
Now to do the bluetooth fix...life is all go...lol
Ok, lets clear this up once and for all...
For everyone that is getting confused about update.zip, Update.zip, Update.zip.zip, and whatever other additional permutations of combinations that people have been able to come up with.
The answer: although some people have reported success with a lower case "u", the best way is to simply follow the directions layed out for you and name it "Update.zip"
Here's the simple truth of the matter, the file you download is <Dexter's_webspace>/ElocityModv13.zip ... or if you are going after eLocity's updates it would be
<elocity's_webspace>/update.zip
Notice that both files have ".zip" at the end. No question about it, no chance that this is not true, no chance that as I actually saw someone post on here "elocity never named it .zip".
Now, here's where people have the opportunity to get confused and do something wrong...
PC Users:
A default out of the box Windows installation is set to HIDE file extensions of known file types (zip files included). So, when you look at your download it will appear to be just "ElocityModv13" or just "Update" even though the file extension (.zip) is actually there. So when you try to rename it to "Update.zip" you are changing only the information BEFORE the file extension, thereby making it "Update.zip.zip"... This is no one else's fault. Please don't blame eLocity, please don't blame Dexter, please don't blame the Android OS itself.
The Solution!:
Open Windows Explorer, go to the "Tools" drop down menu, go to "Folder Options", click on the "View" tab on the window that just popped up, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox, click "OK", profit.
MAC Users:
I am guessing that this applies to most of the "What do I do with all these folders from the zip file" type of posts. The most probable issue here is that Mac's have a rather annoying habit of unzipping zip files as soon as it finishes downloading them, leaving you with just a folder (in this case either named "ElocityModv13" or "update" with no file extension (its a folder).
Mac Solution:
To keep Safari from automatically unzipping your files, the fix is easy.
Open Safari, open Safari's preferences, Click on the "General" tab, uncheck the "open safe files" box, close preferences. Now download either the mod or the stock update again, and you'll have the actual zip file instead of just a folder with the contents of the original file.
Hopefully this helps a lot of people figure this out.
Now...
My Disclaimer:
I already am prepared for the inevitable "stop being rude", "somebody call me a wahmublance", "I'm new to this" type of response that I seem to get more often then not on here. So, before any of that happens let me explain my standpoint.
Anyone trying to go down this route and put a custom rom on their device is attempting to modify it. This SHOULD require at very least a working knowledge of the device or software you are trying to modify. I am not saying everyone here should be on Dexter's level, but at least a little computer know how would be very beneficial. Next, before just diving in to changing things on this little chunk of technology that you just spent a few hundred on, read. Simple as that, educate yourself on the toy you just bough. Creating many many duplicates of threads asking the same extremely basic questions does not help anyone. It clutters up the forums, makes the people that actually have the answers so sick of saying the same thing over and over that they just don't answer any more, makes it harder to navigate the actual different topics, and makes it harder for everyone else to find the answers they are looking for. There should be no "which one of the 15 bluetooth not working threads was that post in?"
I apologize for my complete lack of patience with people that can not search for information and need to be spoon fed. But 99% of the time the question has already been asked and answered. And lets be serious here, the A7 forum only has FOUR SECTIONS, really not a lot of reading. And in the other cases where it is a user error like not knowing how to rename a file or yesterday's hilarious "My SD card doesn't have a folder called ROOT", you really need to ask yourself if this is really something you are up to. If you lack the basic knowledge to perform the easy steps of the process, is it really worth it to risk creating a $300 paperweight to say "look at the cool thing I did" to your friends?
If something I said here seems like it was taken from your post/story, don't take it personal, it was only listed as an example.
I'm sorry I opened such a can of worms on this subject for some "TECHNOLOGICALLY-ADVANCED" individuals who seem to have nothing better to do but respond with condescending remarks on this forum. FYI: I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy tablet on eBay for $360.00, hence my A7 has been shipped back to the retailer for a refund. I still think the A7 is a great device, I simply do not have the time to repeatedly attempt to update it so I can have access to the Android Marketplace, nor the patience to tolerate the attitude of certain posters to this forum. I thought the purpose for this forum was to help each other out on issues, not to repeatedly "Beat Dead Horses" which some individuals tend to be doing. Thanks again everyone and GOOD LUCK!

You didn't open a can of worms, it was just a coincidence that the misinforming post that sent the fingers of fury flying happened to be on your thread. and trust me, I have plenty of better things to do, this is just filler.
Seems like you got a hell of a good deal on the G Tab, Congrats.
And yes, the point of a forum is to help other people, which I do. By correcting bad advice, and trying to get people to ask for and give help in a more collaborative way instead of the same questions being asked over and over again. I'm sorry if you find my presence on the internet grating, just be glad that you haven't had to endure my vocabulary in person (apparently it is pretty similar to that of a drunken sailor with tourette's syndrome with the same measure of sarcasm that I treat the net to)
Back at you on the good luck. Expecting a review on the g tab, pro's and con's vs the A7 hopefully

Hi All
I wonder if you could be of some help.
When I purchase my note I was given voucher codes which included Samsung movies.
I wouldn't normally purchase DRM protected files from anywhere but as they were 'free' I thought I may as well.
Now, to play them on the note you have to first play them on the PC to get the usage rights. My problem is that WMPlayer tells me that the WMV DRM component encountered a problem and won't play the file.
I have uninstalled WMplayer 11 and reinstalled, reset my DRM library and made sure all the correct settings are checked in the WMplayer 'privacy' tab, all to no avail.
Has anyone else encountered this or is it just my PC?
Thanks for any help
After one single DRM-protection purchase of a song on Nokia store years ago, I quickly decided honesty isn't worth all that hassle. Really, go to a torrent site.

Seriously? I got a voucher code too (from the "exclusives" tab in the Samsung Hub). Was then asked to download Samsung Movies which I did. Then needed to register. When I do so it takes my details (including email address and a password, but without asking me to choose a username). It says "account created" - but it doesn't then send me any email etc. and trying to login using email address or surname as the username fails.
I was going to email the 3rd party who runs the site to complain but given your feedback I don't think I'll bother, Viamonte's solution is soooo much easier (and from the look of the movie selection, I've already torrented all of the content they host which would have interested me anyway
Thanks for your replies guys...
I usually get my films from 'other' sources too but thought i'd use the voucher as it was free. There were a couple of older films which interested me, from the 30's, 40's and 50's.
@ -pigro- I had to email them too to get them to enable the code at their end! seriously, I wouldn't bother if I were you.
Anyway, I'll download the movies from other sources now as I've 'paid' for them ...
Thanks both anyway.

I went to twitter to contact the kindle department @Amazonkindle to ask them why they don't supportin Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 as they do Android and Apple. What I mean is the cloud service for the items you upload which is a great feature and I didn't really think anything of it until my asus transformer died. I leaned to try and use my Lumia to no avail as well as my Windows 8 laptop. Then I proceeded to try it on my wife's iphone and it worked....... I know this may sound petty just reaching out to see if anyone else has this issue or knows of a WORKAROUND. I want to thank you for your time and feel free to contact Amazon as well!

I went to twitter to contact the kindle department @Amazonkindle to ask them why they don't supportin Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 as they do Android and Apple.

I contaced Amazon support with basicaly the same question a few days ago, sitll haven't received an answer. My Question was regarding the fact that amazon allows purchases of Comics for the android and ios Apps of Kindle, but not Windows 8 Or Windows Phone 8.
I know with my T101 biting dust I cannot read my tech books now would hope that we as a community could come together on these issues.

In WP7, the solution was to use a file browser to sideload the content directly, which (mildly surprisingly) worked flawlessly; the Application Data folder was laid out very much like the root folder of an actual Kindle device.
In WP8, we don't currently have any file browser with enough permissions to write into (or even read from, actually) the relevant folder. The isolated storage explorer tools would work if the app were sideloaded, but that's blocked for retail (store) apps.
The only work-around I can recommend right now is to use a different e-reader app. There are lots of them on the store, most are free, some can even read Amazon's formats (use Calibre to convert the files otherwise) and they all support synching from some "cloud" provider (usually DropBox).
Understandable

I use dropbox and specifically uploaded them to Amazon truthfully to use one reader, and it would be sync'd across all my devices I thought. My Transformer just magically started working but I would still like this ability. I like calibre but with Kindle if you use your email address and have a pdf and put convert in subject it will change it for you. Less work on my local machine so to say. I just don't know why they would leave this out to users. I wonder does the BB have the cloud option if so this is really messed up.
