OK, here are some questions about a couple of weird actions that I have found in my X10.
1. In the apk Gallery, the thumbails mix sometimes, showing the wrong preview of an image or a video. I found a temporary solution going to SD/DCIM/.thumbnails and erasing all the thumbs. But after some time it gives the same error when I add new images or videos.
2. Recently, when I connect my X10 to the PC, it auto mounts in storage mode. This bothers me sometimes 'cause I connect it here in my job to the computer to charge it only, and I have to turn in off the USB storage to play my music.
3. I add one more question: What do you use to control the apps and process that should/shouldn't start automatically when booting?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I came home from a long army ex and broke my screen before I could sync it. Is there a way to turn on USB mass storage without the screen so I can sync my phone?
I will lose a loooonnng weeks worth of data that I really really need if I cant sync before my new streak arrives.
running 2.2 unrooted on rogers
Thanks!
The only way I can think of of is in recovery mode by using the buttons. Do you have streakmod or clockwork mod?

USB storage mode only gives you access to the external SD Card - which you can take out and use a card reader/adapter to copy to your computer. The external card isn't effected by rom installs anyway.
What exactly do you mean by "sync you phone"?
I want to connect it to the syncing program from nero that I got with the OTA to 2.2. In order to sync it to my computer I need to turn mass storage on, but I cant do that because the screen is broken. I want to sync it so all of my data on the phone can be backed up and put on to my replacement phone that will arrive today or tomorrow. I did not have streakmod or clockwork mod.

Basically, if all your data is stored on the sd card, then just put the sd card in your new phone and sync?
If the screen on your phone is broken, then there is no way to change settings to sync it, my guess is you data will sync ok on the new phone, because its stored on the external sd card, thats the one that can be removed, of coarse i could be wrong, but i think the previous poster is correct.
I don't know if the nero sync program will sync anything on the internal sd card as I have never used it.
If you had sync turned on with Google for contacts (and other google features, such as calendar) they will reload when you put in the same gmail address setting up the phone. You paid apps will be listed in the market. You will probably lose your text messages. Your emails (other than gmail) may or may not be on the server depending on how you have that currently set up on the phone, but you can access your non-gmail email accounts using a computer to make sure that anything important is there.
If you use social networking those contacts and info will sync back to your phone when you set it up.
It is much faster if you can do your initial phone setup where you have access to WiFi.
If his touchscreen still functions at all he'd be better off making a nandroid, it only requires a single screen tap to install streakmod, beyond that it's all the hard buttons

I realize this is a huge bump, but I had the same problem just now, and maybe my solution could help someone else with the same problem! Basically, go to google images and search for: turn on usb storage [insert model of your phone]. It will give you two images like the one's I attached (One screenshot of the notifications screen and one of the screen with the button to turn USB storage on). This will give you a spatial reference of where to tap your finger. So in procedure:
Keep in mind, these steps are performed in the dark
1. Press the power putton
2. Swipe away your lockscreen
3. Press the home button once in case a true full screen app is open
4. Swipe down from the top of the screen to view notifications
5. Systematically, starting from the bottom to top, swipe to the right repeatedly while moving upwards
NOTE: if #5 is confusing, the point is you're swiping away all extraneous notifications that may be there other than the persisent: "Connected as a media device", which can't be swiped away anyway. Once you are confident that is the case, continue on.
6. Now, use your google images screenshot of the notifications screen as a visual reference to click on where 'Connected as a media device' would be.
7. Do the same with the other screenshot to click where the 'Turn on USB Storage' button would be.
8. Problem solved! Now time for a new phone!
Honestly, it only took a total of 2 minutes to conceive and accomplish this, just use your imagination! Frankly it took way longer to write this post! Hope it helps somebody, and MOD, if you want to move this somewhere else, be my guest!

Good evening and greetings to all.
Since I have begun to change, principally to change ROM's a problem I can think a little strange, then upload music to the device and my playlists, they appear incomplete after a shutdown or reboot. The only "workaround" I've had so far is to enter the system and delete application data storage media, then connect the device to a USB port or restarted, but over time, the "mistake" again car parks. Anyone know how to fix this or could definitively explain why this is? Thank you.
Hello!
I've bought a brand new HTC Evo 3D a few days ago and I'm enjoying it a lot . It's my first smartphone, too.
There are some things which kinda confuse me at the moment:
-When connecting to the PC, how can I access the phone internal storage? I can only see the card's content after I set it as a disk drive from the phone menu.
-In the playlist, some albums are listed twice. I don't think it's a mp3-tag issue cause my pc players don't have this issue. I can't say it bothers me at all anyway, but maybe it could be fixed.
-Can the battery future performance be affected if I unplug the phone from the charger before the green light comes up during the first days of use? I mostly did this while transferring files from the pc through usb.
Thanks in advance!
1. The only way to access the phones internal storage AFAIK, is to do it trough adb shell from the command line.
2. That is kinda weird. have you tried to clear the cache of the music app? then reboot, see if there is still duplicates. Or try a different media app and see if it still happens.
3. For the first few cycles I would suggest a full charge and discharge, but I did unplug it a few times before full charge, and I haven't seen any side effects...
I see, gonna try these out. Thanks a lot!

The best way is to use an app like Astro of ES File Browser. Using the computer it is probably adb.

This is a mp3 tag issue. I had the same issue, even the computer listed them right, but I installed a mp3 tag editor from the market and fixed all the tags, and now they display correctly in the HTC music player.

For the playlist issue, you can go into the playlist from the music app, long press one of the copies of the particular song, and select remove from playlist.
I've searched seemingly everywhere on here and on google trying to find an answer but all I can find is "oh just restart your phone that should fix it bye"
But those answers were for people that are missing ALL of their pics! My problem is, pretty much half of my pictures are gone, I first noticed it because there was a certain set that I took 7 pictures like a month and a half ago, and only 3 remain, I know they were there cause I looked at them alot last time was like last week. I went to them today and there were only 3, then I started noticing a lot of my pictures are missing, just magically disappeared. So I hooked into my computer and looked for them, same result. I tried to save the remaining pictures but my computer is being stupid and every time I try explorer.exe locks up now so I can't copy anything off the phone.
I NEED to get my pictures back I have irreplaceable memories of my son, those pictures can't just be gone, I never deleted anything they have to be somewhere, I'm in desperate need of help!
Are these on the internal or external memory ?
What phone is this ? (since this is a general section, could be any OS, even) I know for Android there are un-delete type apps, I'd guess others have these, too - may or may not help.
In the meantime, is there a "send" type option you could use to transfer the remaining pictures off the device ?
try this... http://www.r-studio.com/
Try searching your phone from explorer
Maybe try searching the SD of your phone.
1. Turn on USB storage
2. Using explorer navigate to the SD card of your phone. (should be under computer)
3. In the search bar type "*.jpg" no quotes
This will show you all the pictures on your phone
Im getting fed up of zune syncing every single photo ive ever taken on my phone every time I want to get a couple of photos across.
I use my phone for work and take photos when visiting customers, I would like to copy them to my laptop and then delete them from my device. But I dont really want all my personal photos on this laptop. However when i plug the phone in it starts syncing absolutely everything. This is despiet selecting 'items i choose' under Picture syncing options. I will then delete pictures from the phone to then find that it resyncs them again anyway.
Now, when i plugged my phone in before it used to flash up on screen with a couple of options, one being mass storage device. I never tried it but i wanted to press this to see if i can just copy across (and then delete from my phone memory) the pictures i need rather than syncing. But i cannot get it to appear when i plug in the cable anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas about where it is?
