I want to connect my cappy to my computer, but it's telling me that all running apps have to be closed. I've closed them ALL (nothing on ignore list) with ATK, but no dice, some keep starting up again! What do I do?
Have to end all running apps on the phone before connecting to the computer? I never seen that and I use Kies or even the usb debugging and mount to storage so I can copy files to/from the phone.
Make sure the usb setting is pc mass storage.
I got this message too. It usually means you're running an after market launcher (ADW, LauncherPro). If you are, revert back to TW and the message should go away.

I assume when you mean "connect to your computer" you actually mean "connect to Kies." Kies only works when TwLauncher is the default launcher. if you're running another launcher, it will refuse to work
Install the homeswitcher app and go to tw on the fly. Problem solved.
Thanks for the help; I did realize that Kies was the issue, so I simply switched to mass storage mode (note for anybody new to mass storage mode: have to open up the notifications panel and hit on the "usb link" notif. for the thing to work that took me a while). I DID install ADW before trying to connect, which seemed to be my issue.
Just picked up a WP7 it wont let me
Download apps from the market. Says its unavailable and check back later. Anyone else have this problem? Oh and is there any way to change my default windows live account and delete my old one?
I think the only way to delete the first live acct is to hard reset.

I tried that.. it says "Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while" when i try to download any app... this is pissing me off
Have you tried over Wifi? Does any other Internet-enabled app such as email or IE work? Is your Windows Live account OK? Have you tried Microsoft's technical support?

Thanks. Was having issues to why I can't download and install games until I saw your suggestion. Earlier, I un-check "Allow Cookies On My Phone" and that was the reason why. I got it to download and install the games now.
Looking for some guidance here, my wifes Captivate is running Launcher Pro (free version), and about a week ago, she received this message as one of those little popup messages, saying "This version of launcher pro is about to expire, please go to launcherpro.com to update"....
I checked the Market for an update, and according to it, there was no update. We saw this message about every other day, until this morning, she goes to use her phone, and basically launcher pro has completely crashed out, and keeps taking her to the web browser trying to open to the launcher pro website.
She has no way to get to her home screen, or any other part of the phone. All the physical buttons on the bottom redirect her to the browser trying to load launcherpro.com, I assume to get this "Update".
I've never heard of this, I run launcher pro too, which no problems. Any thoughts? How can I back her out of using launcher pro as her home app, with out being able to access the main android setting panel?
Can this be done from recovery mode?
Is her phone rooted?
Edit: And is USB debugging enabled?
Yes, it is rooted. I think her most recent launcher pro update (from market) failed to download, or install correctly, and now it's corrupt.
She only has access to the web browser. She can access other websites, but launcherpro.com will not load.
I had her remove battery, sim card, and then reboot phone, no dice.
Edit: I think USB debugging is enabled, but I'm not sure.... I'm at work, she's at home....I'm basically trying to get my plan together, so when I get home tonight, I can tackle this.
I also had her type in the direct URL for the most recent launcherpro update (apk file) which she was able to download, but of course she can't install it....
If she can sideload apps, You might be able to use the browser to download a different launcher (touchwiz, adw ..etc) then uninstall launcherpro and reinstall if you wanted... just use the browser to sign in to xda and download whichever u wanted....if browser wont let you download an apk then you could use adb, download your launcher then adb push it to /system/app/ and reboot (you might have to adb shell to mount /system RW) once it boots u might have to hit the home key for it to pop up and ask what launcher to use..

I got the same message like 2 days back. I went to market and updated my version. It didn't give that message again.
ya, that was the first thing I did, but according to the market, her version was up to date, or at least there were no updates for her to install....
I figured there would be a way for me to sideload something, but I've never done anything like that....rooting via an update.zip file, was easy....
Edit: the other thought I had was, if she gets a market app update notification in the notifications bar, we would probably be able to get to the market that way, and uninstall launcher pro, or install another home app (adw). So I'm hoping an update gets pushed today.

Try ADW. This is one home replacement simple and more or less on lines of launcher pro, well, atleast personally by me.
She needs to get home launcher or something so that she can switch her launcher.
I still use Touchwiz mainly, but I have Launcher Pro Plus, ADW, Live Home, and Netlife Home on my phone as well.
Thanks, the problem of course is that we cannot access any part of the phone except the browser...so once I can figure out how to get to the market, or into the android settings, I will be able to disable LauncherPro.
If anyone has a suggestion of how to accomplish that, it will be most appreciated.

She can't even access the market? If she can get an app called home switcher. That would let her choose which launcher to use. If not you would have to either email the creator or reset the phone if everything she touches makes the phone go to pp website. I don't know how anything she does makes it go to their website to upgrade.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

If debugging is activated you could try to adb push a new launcher apk to /data/app/
Go to appbrain.com and you should be able to hook into the Market from there.
You can also use the Android Sideload Wonder Machine from Androidcentral to sideload another launcher or HomeSwitcher. Link
Just connect your phone with USB debugging on, but not connected as a usb mass storage device, select the apk, and click install.
If you are comfortable with ADB then follow the instructions in the link below.

1. Download any launcher, say adw onto ur computer.
2. Use adb commands to push it to /system/app
3. Press the home button -- this will prompt u to pick one home app, pick the new one, and presto... u have full access to ur phone

MikeyMike has the easiest solution. If on the phone, you can only access the browser. Go to www.appbrain.com, and download another launcher from there(Zeam, ADW,Launcher2) install it and reboot, you should be able to then select which browser to use.
download the .apk from your computer and install using droidexplorer...problem solved
I had the same thing happen to me. The launcherpro website is also down. This seems well thought out. How do you make a program liked by almost everyone and turn it into something I'm swearing at for the last three hours because I need to use my phone as a #(*@^@% phone.
I don't have mine rooted. Stupid thing is I was planning to do it this weekend.
Any of the ideas above work for a non-rooted phone? Can I still sideload something else somehow?
Thanks.

Hello..
First.. thanks to all in the DFT team for porting WP7. WOW.. you're skills are just incomprehensible!!!
Now, the problem I've got is that I've installed an app (Xbox live extras) and its not showing up on the program list.. However, whenever i go into the Marketplace to re-download it, it says its already installed on the phone. Is there a way to delete/reinstall this app?
Thank you

Thanks for the reply... unfortunately that doesn't sort it out
I should add that when i click on my avatar (in Xbox live) it goes to the marketplace and to extras. There, i get the option to check install, which i do.. there are no downloads in the queue.. Hmmm!!!!
I had this happen with a solitaire game. It did not show up in list after install.
No way to uninstall or reinstall if you can't see it.
Just wondering if anyone can help..
Thank you

hehe yes I know how to uninstall app, but I mean the unvisible apps.
Just to let you all know my solution...
I hard reset and started all over again LOL
For some reason the Xbox Live Extras program takes an AGE to install.. so this time i just left it overnight and hey presto!.. come morning time, it worked perfectly.
I'd still hope that someone will find a non hard reset solution to this problem..
i got this too, eveyrthign else is perfect but this just does my head in lol, i have a question over at ms answers also.

I had the same problem. some apps were invisible after install.
I restarted my htc hd2/wp7. then i could see and could uninstall them also. maybe this helps you
[SOLUTION] Stuck apps
To force an app to install so you can then reinstall, such as in my case and i think the ops where xbox live extras never installed properly. marketplace says it is but you cannot see it nor is it listed in downloads.
Unlock your phone with chevron, install xbox live extras from the Windows marketplace for desktop http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-908293.html
Than uninstall from phone by holding down on the icon in the games panel.
You will then be able to go to the item in marketplace and choose to install again.
This fixed my xblive extras and it's now working properly.
I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
