how do you get the PC to recognize the device? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Go to the storage tab in settings, click the menu button on top, click usb storage options then tick the option for MTB, that should get you up and running

OK, and how do u post a new thread using xda app in ice?
Also, I have crazy ass blue grid everywhere . Any way to get rid of it?

Square app

I am running KaosFroyo v35.1 and was trying to download the Square app from the market, but it doesn't look like I can download it using Froyo. Does anybody know how I can get it from the market or maybe someone can send me the .apk?

You can't download it on KaosFroyo v35.1? That's weird 'cause I've been using it on my small business eversince version 30 on KaosFroyo. What do you mean with "doesn't look like I can download it using Froyo"? The app can't be downloaded? You can't see it in the Market? Or what?
If you can't see it in the Market, search for the Eris Market Fix. Follow the instructions. Reboot and clear Market data in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > Clear Data
I read somewhere that there was an issue where most people running 2.2 would not be able to download the Square app. I tried looking in the market and it does not show up, even after the market fix.
edit: I did a dalvik wipe and now it shows up on the market thank you!
I'm glad you got it have fun swiping!

When you plugged the square, did you see a "key" logo poped out?
You should swipe the card fast and straight.
Yes, I saw the key. Still not working.

Same issue here, after a few emails being sent back and forth between Square and I they told me the Eris is not an officially supported device
They did offer some support in saying to plug the device in slowly. Doing this I have been able to get it to work a few times.
Well, that stinks.
Gotta give this a shot! Nothing like saving on fees!

Not true buddy.. it works on my Eris running on KaosFroyo 3.7.
Here's what you do.
1) Plug in your square device
2) Go to advanced task manager or any task killer and make sure you kill any media player that runs automatically when you plug a device into the headphone jack
3) Adjust your volume once... up or down does not matter what level
4) Run Square app
5) Now swipe the card fast and straight. It only works one way.. the metallic strip of your card facing the square device smooth surface (not the surface with the square logo)
Cheers. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you.

List of features removed in JB

It may be a good idea to list them in one place. For sure it would help me decide if I want to upgrade or not. If there is a list already let me know and I will delete the thread.
Updated list:
- Overscan option in Settings -> Display
- Selection of audio output device when HDMI is connected
- Mass Storage option in USB computer connection
- Live Icons
- Sleep Mode option in Power Menu
- Timer
- Move to SD card in Settings -> Storage -> Manage Internal Storage
- Google Play Music Widget on the lock screen
- Music option for Alarm Sound
I'm not sure how to put it more concisely, but the context menus that come up when you swipe over certain icons (Calendar, Browser, etc.) are disabled.
No sleep mode on power menu. Anyone notice better camera quality?

Mass storage setting is definitely gone. That sucks. And I don't notice any improvement in the camera.

google play music had a widget on the lock screen, doesnt seem to be there anymore
the lack of usb drive option sucks, how am i going to sync music
I don't know how to say it gone is the red tint gone? I know its not just my phone cause some of the reviews actually talk about the colors being off on this phone.
Cant set a song to your alarm clock tone. That is crappy...

No more timer, it's just alarms now. I used the timer daily...
Camera's no better, and if I'm not mistaken, aren't we supposed to have photosphere? Or is that 4.2 functionality?

Here's the clock app from CM10. It has the timers and countdown. Back up and delete your deskclock.apk and odex file and replace with this.

What is the reason for removing mass storage? I can't see all the files in my internal SD anymore in only media mode :/ I know there are PC and Play Store file managers but mass storage was pretty convenient.

Google removed it from the OS. I think that was done in ICS, but Motorola put it back. Motorola is evaluating the items removed for possible inclusion in a future update.

Camera is better in low light, much much better low light photos.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Coming a Lumia 920, nothing else on the market comes close to actually giving you good low light photos without a lot of noise. I know the premium suite upgrade on the Galaxy S 3 allegedly gives you better low light shots but that's a bit of a stretch.

My Atrix HD (running JB) has the Google Play Music widget on the lockscreen. (See screenshot below)
Also, I use MTP and it shows up on my computer just like Mass Storage did. Giving me options to acces Internal Storage and the SD Card and allows me to move files.

Just simple paranoia. lol I thought the same thing at first. But yes, unplugging the usb cable safely removes it from your computer. It will not do any long term damage.

Turn location settings on and off then go I to Google settings app and turn location off then back on. Then on the weather settings select detect my location and reboot the phone.
When the phone comes back on you'll have a box asking to allow location settings, press accept and it should work.

Make nandroid without usb?

Ok... my phone is dead..ish... I dropped water on it... tried to dry it out and now the USB isn't recognized and the backlight on the screen is dead. I can still barely make out the white images on the phone. Here's my question, is there anyway to make a nandroid and get it off the phone (email, ftp, ect..) automatically? I can probably see enough to install an apk... but not set it up. I am connected to my wifi router so I can see the device that way... but that's it.
HELP!

Edit : nvm
Their are ways to make a nandroid back up without turning your phone off then using a file manager to find the file and upload it to Google drive or drop box.. But I don't know how much you are able to do

It's slightly more complicated than that. I can't see the background at all in TWRP because it's dark. I can barely make out the HTC clock on my home screen. I tried to get into ES file manager and turn on ftp but the settings screen is also too dark. Think of seeing your phone in direct sunlight on the lowest brightness. That's what my screen looks like.

Alright... I've got it working.... I was going through the ADB commands and I can't find anyway to list the contents of the sdcard. So say if I only wanted to pick and choose which folder to pull. In command prompt it is usually the "dir" command, is there an adb equivalent?

Unfortunately Swype has stopped working. Any ideas?

Swype came installed on my phone, so it's all I really know as far as keyboards goes. It's always worked, but not sure what happened, but when I press the microphone it says "Unfortunately Swype has stopped working" and only option is to hit OK and it closes.
Any ideas what to do?
When this happens to me, I navigate to Settings - Apps - All (scroll to the right) - find Swype. Scroll down and click clear data.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium App
Thanks! That partially solved my problem. While the microphone button works now, clearing the data made Swype look totally different and I can't find a way to get it to look like it did. Is there a spot for themes or something somewhere? I would like it to appear as it did when I bought my phone.
There's a settings icon on the keyboard.. when I go in there it brings up "HTC Sense Input Settings". Maybe it's not using Swype? Not sure how to get it back on. If I go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, I can find Swype settings. It says it's using Classic theme.

Go back to where you found that Swype was using classic theme and tap it. This will take you to where you can change your theme.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium App
It's set as classic. I tried to change it to Silver then back to Classic no luck. The keyboard doesn't even look like any of the themes shown, so I'm guessing it's not using Swype. Not sure how to get it back.
Lemme reboot the phone and see what happens.
Not working.. it definitely is a different keyboard.. because I can't "swype" to type words.. just not sure how to get Swype to come back as default for everything.

Ok..... Open up a text message and get to the point where your HTC keyboard Pops up. From there, swipe down from the top of your screen where it shows what applications you have running. You should see "Choose input method." Tap on that and you should be able to change input method to Swype.
