Great program, but Im having trouble with the sms function.
Ive gone in and changed the registry to where the program is the default contact manager, and made the changes for the softkey. What is happening is that when in PocketCM and I want to read my text messages, the program will load the messages and then disappear after a matter of seconds. It doesn't stay up long enough for me to read anything.
Ive been to their site and searched around and wasn't able to find anything close. Ive searched here and didn't find anything helpful.
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
really, and I mean REALLY slows my phone down too....
try the beta version of .16. its 100x faster than .15.
Wassona - I never had that problem even when I was using .15. I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall it.

Anyone have a cab file for .16??? I downloaded what is available from the creators website, but its just the program file with nothing to "tell the phone to use it" instead of contacts.

I tried that numerous time before I created the post and it didnt change anything. Im wondering if it has something to do with the way my sms/mms is setup on the phone.
Who knows. Maybe I'll get a reply on the Pocketcm forum.

Just copy the downloaded files in your program file map on your device within the map CMcontacts.
you don't need the cab file when you already have it installed.
This might be something to think about. Hard reset the phone and thought that I had backed up all the sms messages that I had. Turned out i was wrong. Re installed pocketcm and it works. Before I had over 340+ sms messages due to the constant backups. Im wondering if i didnt exceed some buffer.

Thanks a lot buddy!
I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really)

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.
Thanks

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.
Hey guys, I downloaded some apk's and transferred them to my sd/NC.
I went into file manager located the apks and click to install and I get the following error "installation of download apks is not supported"
This may have something to do with permissions, but you also may want to give ADB a shot. I know it's a bit of a pain to set up, but someone in the dev. forums posted some simpler drivers. I always install with ADB and it works like a charm.
Check to make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked under Applications in Settings.
Can also try installing with a different file manager, I use Astro and that works.

Good point, you may need to uncheck and recheck it if it's automatically set to "checked" by default when flashing.
I keep a "new ROM setup" folder on my SD card containing DropBox, RootExplorer,Titanium Backup, adbWireless and Terminal Emulator APKs to make setting up a new system easy.
I download the apk, email it to myself, use the gmail app, open the file, tap install, done. Haven't had any issues with 24+ install. I got tired of ADB to push it.
can a file manager be use to install .apk's that are missing from the market place? currently im missing google maps. ive heard about market manager to trick the market and get the full listings, however should this not work, like some have stated, can i download the .apk from my computer and install it using a file manager?
also for the life of me i do not understand nor can i get adb to work. i know its probably real simple. but im done messing with it, so that option is out.
Same Problem
I've got the same problem. "Install blocked. Installation of download apks not supported."
I've tried all the above suggestions: gmailed it, used various filemanagers, Dropboxed it and no success. I could not figure out how to change permissions....how does one doe that?
I haven't tried ADB - waiting to try everything else before I did that.
Im a medical student and I really would love to be able to use the newly available Android Medscape app (free from the market) on my phone.
Unfortunately, it says in description of the app that it may have problems with "rooted" phones. Im assuming it means our HD2's running android on NAND as well, because after installing the App on my phone, I am unable to update/download the Clinical reference data required for the app to work offline.
It gives the error "Internet connectivity was interrupted..Please try again"
Any help from the developers or anyone else would be very greatly appreciated

Looking at the description and the error you gave, have you tried disabling any ad-blocking software? It may be something cooked into the ROM - if so, try asking the dev how to disable it. DLing now - i'll post back what I find.

EDIT:
Ok, having found this question asked on the thread for the ROM I use, you can remove medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list. (find it in \system\etc).

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the ROM im using. Its Core Droid DHD 1.5, and it seems you may be right. It says in the description of the ROM that the "Adds are Blocked (Host files modified)". Is there any way to reverse this host file change?
Fixed it with the help of the developer of the Core Droid ROM. Just opened the app "Add free" and hit "revert". Restored the original host file. Medscape works now.
im having the same issue and clicking the "revert" bottom on AdFree did not fix it
I have uninstalled AdFree and have the same problem all the time. Anybody fixed this?
i had the same problem!
After i revert the hosts file in ad-free, medscape did not update the reference!
So what i did:
I did not unistall ad-free, but:
- i revert the host file 3 times in a row;
- i stopped the access of AD Free from SuperUser (root access);
- and i restart medscape (i killed the process with automatic task killer) and start it again;
- and voila, my htc g1 is updating the reference while i text.
(i don't know what are the steps that make medscape update, but i guess, is the revert host file and restart the app, to it starts didn't knowing that can't access that host to update)
I hope this help you!
Good luck
It works for me, reverted host files, stopped Adfree acces to Superuser and voila!! Medscape is updating again. Thanx
how to correct medscape installation please?thx\
SOLVED!
Just got an OTA update for my flyer and software got updated to version 2.27.1540.32
The android version is 2.2.4 while sense is 1.0
Just for the record, AdFree only works on ROOTED devices. i mentioned in another thread on xda that adfree does not work for me. with this OTA update, my Medscape is finally installing as i type this - - -
Just kill the AdFree app and immediately run Medscape app,it'll definitely take the update.I did the same and it worked
i try looking for file in \system\etc
in use editor to open file host.. thera are a lot of files,
and it make me confuse, where the file "medscape from the adblock 'hosts' list" is ???

Hi everyone!
Well, I've experienced the same "connectivity error" as everyone with a root cellphone, after reinstalling medscape app at my cell. I never had AdFree, and even though I'm able to found the hosts file and take a look of it with my pc it says absolutely nothing about medscape (only 127.0.0.1 localhost and emptyness after), so I guess I must be getting the wrong file or not accesing to it correctly?
I've tried everything you said, but is still not working.
I'm pretty new with android, and I would really aprecciate you help, given the fact that this is one of my favorities app!

Hello people it's just to report and see if any of you have faced a skmilar problem and how To solve it.
The main problem is that all files pdfs, jpgs or any other that are sent to me via WhatsApp it's impossible to open with any app. All apps say the file is corrupted or something like that. The same happens with Edison Mail (app) I use it to have all my mails synced, but the same happens all mails that contain attached files are imposible to open the external apps to open pdf or image files say it's impossible or file corrupted.
Nevertheless, and the main thing is that those files are NOT CORRUPTED whatsoever, if I look for the files on the internal storage and open them with any of the apps that said that the same files were corrupted, the files open without any problem.
I was going to reinstall WhatsApp, but in the end I didn't because it's really time consuming to make a backup and because I realized it was happening with other apps (probably with others I haven't come across).
I have checked permissions, disabled /enabled them but with no luck.
Any thoughts or similar experiences? Any workaround?

This problem isnt occuring for me. It opens for me fine. Maybe it could be an issue with the pdf reader?
What do you mean when you say, it is impossible to open pdfs in external apps?
Im assuming you have tried different pdf apps as well? Try opening the file from the pdf app itself, as in navigating to the file from inside the pdf app, rather than opening it directly in whatsapp.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
If I open the files directly from the pdf reader (I've used several, acrobat, xodo, drive, onedrive, etc) or opening the files from a file explorer (solid explorer, xiaomi file explorer) they open, they are not corrupted.
The problem is when I tap on the attached file on the whatsapp chat or on the edison mail (app) The prompt to select an app to open the file shows up but no matter which one I select it will FC or say the file is unreadable or corruupted (depending the app). That is why I believed the problem was regarding some permissions in whatsapp or edison mail, but I've enabled and disabled them with no avail.
If you google this problem, hilariously you can find a very similar one on an Adobe forum but of course there's no solution because the adobe won't provide a solution that is not directly caused by their apps. The only good comment there is that apparently it's an andorid 11 problem on MIUI devices.
Some mention to disable MIUI optimizations, which I've already tried enabling and disabling because I usually have them disabled.

Yes, it certainly seems like an miui problem or the A11 problem. Okay, do one thing, try opening the pdf file via chrome browser, or any other app, maybe gmail app.
Also, before you do that, download matlog to log what happens, maybe we can try pin pointing the issue.
If its just an app thing, then maybe reinstalling should fix it. But i doubt it is. And the only real possibility seems like reinstalling the rom.
Heres a suggestion, since we dont have twrp yet.
Download the latest full rom, a few issues happened to me earlier, when i installed miui in one of the incremental updates.
So, what i did was, downloaded the entire recovery rom (not fastboot) and just updated the system via system update by locally installing it.
Just google how to local upgrade on miui if you're not clear about it. As i wasn't since this is my first miui phone.
This would essentially dirty flash a stock rom, and should iron out any issues without having to reset the phone.
Is your MIUI optimisation option disabled in the developers options? If so, try enabling it and try to open the files again.

Here are the logs. Actually by doing so, I discovered that also sharing a zip file from the matlog to any app to upload or share it (whatsapp, gdrive, onedrive, etc.) also resulted in an similar error (this part is not included on the logs).
The logs include trying to open one file in two different apps. Gdrive pdf reader and Xodo.

Actually I hadn't tried that, Just did and leaving MIUI Optimizations enabled makes the problem disappear, in fact, the promt to select the app to open the file is different.
But what if I want to leave MIUI Optimizations disabled?

I don't think there's a solution for this. I think the best workaround for this problem would be switching to Xiaomi.eu rom (since they have MIUI optimisiation disabled by default) but it's still not released yet.
I could be wrong though.

Im assuming the miui has its own code for the app selector and the underlying android 11 app selector code is disabled. Probably to speed up the process of switching apps. Maybe if there is a way if you can enable the original android 11 code for it then you could disable the miui optimization setting. But then, if this is just for the app selector, there could be other underlying issues, that you might have not have experienced yet where miui uses its own implementation and has disabled the original android implementation. I wouldnt recommend that unless you decide to switch roms to the EU version for this specific issue like @brzi6 mentioned but i think theres no point as it could cause other location based hassles.
Firstly, miui optimization is garbage anyway.
Secondly, the problem is with app permissions. If you can get your pdf viewer of choice to have access to your file system then all will be well.
