Just an idea or two

How about on this thread,we answer two things ,which may helpspread awarness of apps & prog out there maybe also help see what your exec can do and achieve
If the above idea is ok I'd like to ask two things
A
If you just got a brand new shiny out the box exec,what would you do too it and what would you add.?
I Intend this weekend to save and compress any memory,by using another ROM and other software,but I have no idea,so ill search the site this weekend
secondly maybe we can post up here ,things you'd like,your exec to do,
hopefully if your request isn't too OTT,someone may know a way or provide a link
for e.g.
I'd like my exec to watch tv is this poss?
reply
either pre load your memory card with compressed films and use a dvd software,like this
www.alink.com
or install slingbow and the relevant software,this is there homepage
www.homepage.com
a one thread resource for a how to,regards the limitations of an exec

jaceuk - we're having this discussion over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56072&highlight=
But basically, the wiki lives, and is used as a repository for knowledge. Anyone can access/update it. That's the best way to distribute this type of information.
Regarding what to do with your Exec, there are several threads on the subject... eg what software to install etc.
OTT requests - just post them. People will respond if they can!
Very few things are too OTT

Thanks as always ur the gent,i was unaware of the wiki ill look
thanks

But any questions, search first, but do ask. That's why we're a community

a few Questions about my new Cingular 8525

if anyone can answer any of my Questions that would be very helpful.
i just got a refurb cingular 8525
how can i put java/macromedia on my phone so i can watch youtube videos and play java games?
how do i set text message ring tones?
how can i get AIM back on my phone?
how can i ge WM6 and what version do i get and where do i get it and how do i install it?
anyone know any cool free programs/software i can get for it?

Please don't start three different threads for the same question. I've removed the other two.
You need to show some effort here before you ask any questions. Please do some research and read through the forums before posting questions that have been answered hundreds of times (no exaggeration).
The nature of this forum is such that it is expected that users do their homework first. Then, if help is still needed, just ask. There are many knowledgeable and friendly people that would be happy to help.
First step, visit is the WIKI. Read through it and follow all the links.
Second, visit the WIKI again. Read though it and follow all the links.
Third, use the search feature at the top of the page and you'll find many more answers waiting for you. Another great idea is using Google to search the site. It can, often times, give more relevant answers.
At any rate, please take your time and do all the research you can.
Good luck!

1. There is a Macromedia Flash release (v. 6 or v. 7) for your phone. You will either need the HTC Streaming Media app or Opera Mobile in order to play YouTube videos. Do a search.
2. Text messages--Go to settings, and under the "personal" tab, click on "sounds and notification"--Go to "notifications" tab, and select SMS under event and assign your ringtone.
3. I am using the "Black Satin" version of WM6.
4. For all others, please do a search. I have IM+ installed which takes care of AIM among other chat services. It's a paid-for program. There's also Agile.

Music ID

Hey all, i really want this as everyone seems to rate it but when you download the CAB file it downloads two link files and an XML which takes you to opera - doesn't seem to want to download like a normal CAB file...still a bit new at all of this but if anyone can tell me how I actually get it installed and working I would be very grateful!
Thanks.

Try this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
Put the cab file on the device, find it on the device using explorer & launch it. It will install.

argh misicid
finally downloaded it didnt work and now cant uninstall searched here did what they said with the reinstall and now i have three dead nusicid icons !! any help please?

Getting rid of MusicID
Hey all, posted on this before but it seems to have gotten lost. I downloaded MusicID using the links people posted, never got it to work so tried to uninstall and it left an icon in my programmes, did what people said and tried to uninstall by reinstalling and now i have THREE musicid icons left none of which work - can someone tell me how to get rid of this horrid programme (which incidentally sadly doesnt compare with Shazam at all :-( )

This is the third new thread you have started on this topic. Please read the sticky at the top of the Forum and stop polluting - this is not a Helpdesk and you are not entitled to an answer.
I suspect diligent use of the search tool would give you what you need - I'm sure I remember seeing a solution

Thank you for your post.
There is no solution posted here as regards to uninstall (and my initial direction was as to "install"), or rather there is one that was posted to another member and does not work, indeed it is a problem many have referenced hence the inquiry (not a demand for a response).
There are many questions posed here with people asking for assistance and many people who are good enough to provide answers recognising that is part of the spirit of this forum - if you do not wish to answer the thread then there is no obligation to do so but I do not feel that people should have any hesitation in posting on any matter they may choose.

If by what your saying you mean there's an broken shortcut to the application under the programs menu that was left behind after you uninstalled the application, you can delete those broken links by going into Windows/Start menu/Programs. Here you should see all the .lnk files associated with every program you have on your phone (including the broken links for musicId). Just delete these and they should be gone. Of course needless to say.....I'm sure you've already uninstalled the application from under start-->settings-->system-->remove programs.

in /windows/Start menu/Programs folder remove the icons.
and i agree with iain.fraser, a simple bump to the original thread should have sufficed

Thank you for the help.
The icons are there when you go windows/start/programs (not in the scroll down start menu or the slide along menu but actually on the programmes screen which shows all programmes i.e just like the icons for all the other applications, activesync, camera etc...) and cant seem to be deleted from there and there is no option to delete icons ( this is following uninstalling the programme by "removing programmes").

Its always good to have a program like SK Tools and officialy uninstall the programs from there to make sure they are completely gone!

Hmmmm that's weird. What options do you get if you tap and hold using your stylus on the musicID icons? Coz well, deleting icons is a pretty straight forward process.

Your slightly hurt tone might have been avoided by your reading the rules of the Forum, which apply to you just as they do to everyone else here.
It is not your request that poses an issue, rather the three requests in fairly quick succession, which edges towards demanding.
Plugging the search terms 'MusicID' and 'uninstall' into the Forum Search facility at the top of the Forum returned two hits, the second of which is a thread around the coolest applications installed. Post 17 of that thread purports to offer a solution to uninstalling. If you have already tried that, you could widen out to other Forums, to the Internet as a whole, or even contact the developers of MusicID before bumping one of your original threads. Any of these would be fine - starting another new thread isn't.
Please do read the sticky - it might prove useful in future

Thanks i know its strange and frustrating - basically it created a new file called "ATT music", you click on that file in the programmes page (not the touch flo programme page where you can select and remove whatever you want but the windows programme page which shows you everything) and it opens a new icon saying "3 music id" i try to delete that by holding the stylus on it and it just says the file cannot be opened and to try reinstalling or restoring it. There are three such ATT files now on my system that i can't delete.

Hmmm...try deleting the files through activesync. Or as a last resort.....use SK Tools. It's pretty effective. You can download a trial version.
Good Luck.

Great thanks - i'll give it a go. help much appreciated!!!

Hi, Sorry to hear it did not work for you. Did you have .net 3.5 installed?
This is the link I used to find the right cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
I did read on another forum that the trick to uninstalling it was to install again on top and reply "yes" to the remove earlier version option and then cancel the install after that.
It works very well on my HD - I can sit in the chair across the room from the radio and it will pick up the music fine and after about 30 seconds it has done the sampling, analyzing and provided the track details.
It's not very good on classical music though !!

Thanks cheesy dave. I tried what the uninstall by reinstall and it just gave me another dead icon (now 3 as i tried it twice).
It's a shame as it looks like fun if you can get it to work. I think i have the old net compact (is there a way to check) maybe the first thing i should do is upgrade it.

Hi, you should know if you have .Net 3.5 as it needs to be installed separately. By default the HD comes with the much earlier .Net framework. So if you have to ask then probably you have only the standard. I would recommend installing the new version - there are links in this forum for it. Also, try the wiki pages:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
Many applications need the new version to work. I personally have no idea if musicid needs it. It does work fine on my HD and I do have .net 3.5 installed and set as the default.
Here is a useful link that has the registry key you can check to see what .net you have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460006
I find the musicid fun, I doubt I will use it every day but now and then it will be good to have it available.
Regards, D

Here is the Microsoft link for .Net 3.5:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en&tm
(if the link is no good then go to microsoft and search for "NETCFSetupv35")

what happened when you tried SKtools?

[Q] Internet - Graphics help pls someone? :)

Hi guys. This should be easy for someone with experience so hopefully this will come in handy for a lot of 'new to windows mobile' types like myself.
Ok so the issue - start up Internet Explorer. Go to say... ebay.co.uk and check your accoutnt for example. Then the fun begins. I want to ask a seller a question. In classic view this takes a while to load (ebay mobile won't even allow you to do this function by the way!). The problem is this. Buttons are missing on the screen. Certain ares of the selctions are not showing. Bottom line is i can't click on ASK QUESTION to continue. Guessing something is needed like java or adobe flash but i'm not going to start adding things at random and by guesswork.
So can someone advise what is needed please, if anything? Maybe a setting i have is incorrect?
Sorry for the semi-vague details as far as the technical side goes. If you need a bit more clairty then please just ask and i'll try to better my comments.
Many thanks if you can help, TSS

160 views and no replies? someone spare a few secs please? i've tried adding a java cab (javafx) but no use so now i'm seriously stuck.
hope someone breaks the silence

Try using a better browser, e.g. Opera Mini. The built in IE has many limitations.
I experience previously with internet banking where IE fails to send Login id and passwords but Opera Mini works.

Requests & solutions for S5:Wifi tether, USB mass storage, Spell Checker, dualboot...

Requests & solutions for S5:Wifi tether, USB mass storage, Spell Checker, dualboot...
Hi, I have a rooted Galaxy S5, and there are so many things that ruin the Android experience in recent Samsung models.
In particular, after search on the forum and on the internet I'm still looking for the solution to all these problems for my SM-G900F:
- Working WiFi Tether without errors
- Enable USB MASS STORAGE (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/usb-mass-storage-app-for-recent-samsung-devices/ don't work fine)
- Weather lockscreen without use of GPS
SOLVED:
- A kernel with dualboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534 (but with @gokhanmoral was simpler!)
- ENABLE SPELL CHECKER: menu enabled, but RED UNDERLINE for errors run only in ART runtime! (??) See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728177
- Remove S Finder and Quick connect from Notification Panel (This and many other problems solved on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799050)
- Change bootanimation (tired without success Boot Animations root) Have to use something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369587. To create and modify http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189934
- Remove camera click (rename ALL four camera sound files)
- Change tone call keypad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124988&page=2)
I think the problems are common to many people. I will update the post with the solutions.
Thank you

So you are asking someone to spend their afternoon searching for you? There are a lot of helpful people here and if you asked about some specific item no doubt someone would try to help. But to simply dump a laundry list and expect someone to fill it for you is..
If you did a forum search and read a few threads you could find any of those items yourself. So why don't you?

These are things that I still have not solved while sifting through the forum.
I was expecting some response from someone for the individual instances, even with possible links, not the entire list, of course.

Many people are simply just to lazy, and never read the forum rules.

Fair enough. But that is far from the impression that your first post paints. If you care to elaborate more about what you have tried, searched for and the results thereof i.e. show that you have been made a good effort, then I or someone else will help you with some or all of those.
For myself, I am a lot more interested in helping people who have tried to find information or fix issues themselves and /or describe their issues in detail (making it tremendously easier to troubleshoot issues).
Your first request - change bootanimation
The S5 boot animation can be changed with an app like [url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en]Boot Animations[/url]. Or you can use a file explorer and change the files yourself. You need root in either case. Alternately you can search for a flashable zip that changes a specific boot animation for you.
Boot animation files:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
/system/media/shutdown.qmg
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

Sorry, is that now the Samsung have too many details as to fix and the list was much longer in the beginning.
I think it will be my last Samsung.
They are also very brief because of my bad English, but this is the best Android forum in the world and so I have to experiment with the language!
Thanks for the help and even in this case the app that I had tried to change the bootanimation (Boot Animations root) did not work.
.

For the camera sound, I had to rename all four camera sound files. Doing 1, 2 or 3 still got the sound.. FYI.
ps a silent camera is bliss.
