Hi Folks,
Let's start this forum for developer commands (i.e. secret menus where we can change settings of the phone).
There were some ##xxx# codes for windows phone 7.
Can anyone update this for Windows Phone 8? Thanks!

you need to use drivers for vista (x86/x64) on win 7 to recognice your device , the rest of setup is the same for every windows ..
1. Download SDk
2. Unpack it to a folder you choose for example C:/Program Files/SDK/
3. Add "PATH" to system variables - right click "My computer" > properties > advanced system settings> at the bottom "Enviroment Variables" > and at System variables scroll down to "PATH" and edit. at the and of the line add the path to your SDK/tools.
in my example: c:/program files/SDK/tools/
This is it.
If it doesn't recognize the hero, you might have to install the adb drivers manually. That happened with me on Win 7 x64. I just went to the device manager and manually installed the driver. After that all was working.
So, I am switched to Mac (OS X Lion). At first, I thought I would have no problems developing Android applications on Mac because it is Java which is well-known for its cross-platform capabilities.
Today, I found that in order to run the application on a real device, such as my Atrix 4G, I need a driver. I checked Motorola's web site, but they only listed Motorola Drivers for Windows.
Is there any solutions, except running Windows on a virtual machine?
Excuse me if I am misunderstanding your question here, however, if all you are trying to do is get ADB to work with your device on Mac all you need to is install the Android SDK (possibly create an environment variable, if you don't want to cd to dir all the time).
You should aso make sure that your phone has USB Debugging enabled via Settings > Applications > Develpoment, and also make sure your phone's "USB connection" is set to "USB Mass Storage" or "None". Hope this helps.
I got locked out of my android phone (samsung galaxy s 2) and am trying to make a backup copy of all my stuff before I do a factory reset. I found this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1420351
It seems over my head but I`m desperate to keep my files. So I`ve installed JDK, Eclipse, and the SDK starter pack. After getting the starter pack I downloaded all the recommended stuff and also the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-Tools. I also got the ADT plugin for Eclipse. After that I think I`ll have everything I need for the tutorial but I`m not sure could someone experienced with ADB let me know.
Also could someone help me start this tutorial. It just starts by saying open a command prompt. How do I do that?
The link to the tutorial is broken. In your post I noticed you did not mention whether of not you also installed the driver for phone and also whether or not you have enabled usb debugging on your phone.
Anyways to answer your question if your on windows 7 hit the start button and where it says search programs and files type in cmd and hit enter. I think that also works in vista. If your on xp just click run under accessories and type cmd.
"No compatible targets were found. Do you wish to a add new Android Virtual Device?"
I didn't really program anything yet, I'm just trying to set everything up so I can start learning how to program for an android device, but I can't seem to get past this problem.
I'm using windows 7 and a sony Xperia J.
I rebooted both already, and re-installed the drivers (assuming I installed the correct drivers, but I'm pretty sure I did)
I've been trying to solve this problem for 4 hours already... any help would be greatly appreciated
I think you have a problem with the ADB driver.
Why don't you wanna use a virtual device?
because I have to get the app on my phone in the end no matter how I test it, and to get it on I need adb anyway..
So I'd rather deal with this problem now
Ok, I prefer to use the emulator because I want to have all on the same screen.
2 more things:
- on your device, have you checked in Settings -> Developer options, the option "USB debugging"? Without it, the computer sees only the media device.
- go with a command prompt in the folder "...\android-sdk\platform-tools" and run "adb devices". This command will display all the devices connected.
Good luck!
Hello guys, I was wondering if there is any solution to change my phone's hostname without rooting the device...
I have changed both the device name from About Phone section, and in WiFi settings on WiFi direct and my phone is keep advertised with the default settings name (router's page). Also I have searched in Developers options and there is no device hostname :/
I don't know if this is something new, or it has to be done with security policy but I rly need to change it...
Additionally I am not sure if there is any option to execute commands in Windows Powershell (adb) with opened the usb debugging and OEM unlock. I had removed pre-installed apks with this way, that's why I'm being referred to it.
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
