Future Dial Suite (that came with my zio)

I'm not sure if this question belongs hear, but I am having a frickin' hard time trying to get my zio to connect to the "future dial suite" software disk thing that came with my zio. Its worked before, but now, no matter how I've tried, it won't connect anymore. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or of something Im not aware of?

Wanted to ask you when did you start having this problem? Did you upgrade your OS from 1.6 to 2.2.1? If you did, did you notice if that was when you started having your trouble? Did you update any of the drivers for you pc to reconize your phone to the newest 1s?
"I'm so broke I can't even buy time!!!"

Yes I did update it. And I know for sure I've used the Future Dial since. Usually I always gota uninstall the software and drivers then reinstall and it'd work. Its not "rooted" or whatever its called. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using windows 7? Also, did you check to see if any firewalls or antivirus progams you may be running are blocking the driver? Check them to see. Also you might want to try uninstalling future dial again but this time completely clean it from you pc. Registry included if you know how to do so without wiping the wrong data out.
When installing it again, right click on the instal file, goto properties, then click the compatibility tab and check the box at the bottom to run the instal as an Administrator. When in the properties of the instal make sure its unblocked. Windows 7 has a tendacy to block certain instal files. If it is blocked you will see it at the bottom of the general tab once properties is open for the file.
Also, once you've done that, then right click the instal file again and click the "run as adminastrator" option in the drop down window. Hope this helped m8. Another thing you can try is plugging your phone into your pc through another usb port so your pc will try and reinstal the drivers for the phone.

Wow! I lost u at ARE U RUNNING WINDOWS 7. I have no idea, I bought my pc bran-new in the box and at that time it said windows vista on the box and on that tower thing where u plug everything into and put disc's in. Iv had future dial working before and every 2-3months id export my contacts and print em incase I lost my phone, and every time tried using it id have to uninstall and reinstall and did the same process every time with no problem. This time, trying the same process, nothin. Feel like just pouring water in that tower and putting this zio in a vise as tight as I can. I appreciate any and all help, but it ain't a big enough deal to waist anybody's time. I just thought it'd be a quick fix or a simple step I wasn't doing.

You can always set up your google account to sync your contacts online. That way you'll never lose them.

I was just about to suggest that to him Spz0. I just got this message noticed you beat me to the chase. lol
Ok itrustno1, Like Spz0 said, you can use your phones google account to sync all your contacts. If you goto your gmail account online you can find your contacts list on the left side pane in Internet Explorer window towards the top. Once you click on "Contacts" Internet Explorer will load the page with all your synced contacts. From there you can click on the "More Actions" button at the top of your contacts list, you will see in the drop down list "Import", "Export" ect. Click on the Export to Export your contacts to you computer. Should pop a box up asking where do you want them saved to. Pick a easy location as to where you may want to save them. Desktop is a good choice then you can find them easy enough and move the folder wherever you need or want.
As for you Operating System, your most likely running Windows Vista if thats what your pc came with. Not much different then running windows 7 the next OS up from Vista. Vista is a resorce hog though.
So you know, I have future dial on my pc and i'm running windows 7, I personally don't like using Future Dial cause it was too much a pain to do. I had simular problems as yourself.
Hope Spz0 and I were able to help. If not you can contact me using [email protected] and during this weekend maybe I can walk you through a few things you can try to get future dial working again for you. I won't make any promises as to whether or not I can fix the problem. Its usually easier for me to be infront of the pc i'm working on so i can see exactly whats going on to try and fix the problem.

I have tons of questions about my new Nokia Lumia 822 and Windows phone 8.....
1. Is there a good video chat app like facetime ( iphone ) or google talk....i have a 7 month old I love see while I'm at work.
2. When I create a new text message and I type the first letter of someone's name it only pulls up some people and not all. Example: J for John and I get jenn or Joe bit not John. When I type John I get noting...also when I type k
for Katie nothing shows up....as for the phone app is there a way or option that when I type the # corresponding with their. First name it pulls them up example 6 for m

At least in WP7 you could scroll in the suggestion list to see the additional entries. Perhaps they are just not visible because there are too many hits. There is no smart dialing in the stock dialer but there are Apps that support it (altough those are a little awkward to use as well).
For Video chat I would suggest you use the one that works everywhere: Skype.

Thanks for the help...i have Skype dl however I don't see anywhere it says video chat....why would it not pull up names in k if I only have one?

I had the same issue until I realized I didn;t have their phone number stored as a mobile. It was work or home and the Messaging app only pulls up numbers stored as mobile.
You can find the people under the + sign, or you can change the peoples number to mobile and it will fix the issue for good.

The quickest way to call some one by name is go to people and type name

Thanks Ludo....i actually figured that out yesterday after messing with my numbers....i just feel stupid it took me so long to figure it out.
I got Skype to work on WiFi but not lte...i don't know if its my wife's crap iPhone 4 or if windows can't handle Skype on lte....i wish windows and android could come up with a video chat that works as well as face time and as easy to use...you would think by now they would have...skype is ok its just blurred.

[Q][HELP] Bypassing Google authentication

This may sound a little noob-ish but I am new to device and my condition is a bit bad.
My G1 is running Android 2.2 Froyo, it has a keyboard with E,R and 6,7 keys not working. And I cannot get past google verification. I can't run wifi and to write the apn settings, I require the keys.
The ****ty system doesn't even show on-screen keyboard in the auth.
So what can I do apart from dumping the G1? Is there some way to enable on-screen keyboard?
EDIT -> I now know that the device is rooted and has Amon_Ra but I can't seem to do anything. Any help?

Re: [Q] [HELP] Bypassing Google authentication
If you are running 2.2froyo then you must be rooted as the dream can not be updated past 1.6 donut without root.
But if your only issue is those couple keys to bypass why not just make a new gmail that doesn't use those keys, new accounts are free you know, how about [email protected]

Well, the problem is not with the Gmail account, the problem is setting up the GPRS connection. You know, the APN settings. If only would it let me use WiFi from default.
And I can't even use it on adb I guess (to enable it I need to type in a code).
I did see something like "WiFi patch" on CaNNoN202's ROM thread, but the links were dead.
Still looking for help

Do ya need a keyboard? i have some inbox me.

If it is rooted and has amonra recovery installed then boot to recovery and flash a compatible ROM, nearly all custom ROMs have the ability to let you bypass sign in and go straight to os
If you want help choosing a ROM that is compatible you need to tell me what radio and SPL you have
If you really just want to use adb to bypass I can help with that too but it is unneeded if the phone is rooted

Well, I do not know the radio and SPL (the person I bought it from had it all done). Would anything happen if I install the latest SPL and Radio? And they already be on the device? (which is rare)
EDIT: I looked another thread and found that pressing Camera + Power should show me a screen which tells me the radio and other things. Tried it and it showed me a RGB-color screen. Radio was 1.22 something and the Hboot was 0.95 something.
And by the way, on the same thread I found that, if we boot into recovery and it shows a triangle and "!", it means the phone is unrooted. Well, unfortunately that is the case with me

Dual screen not active, work around
Hi guys, after reading several threads I was having problems getting any of the method to work for my LG H634. I was able to get as far as opening browser, but as far as installing an app or opening dual windows I was unable to. It seems that the dual screen option is not turned on when the phone is reset and returns default setting. Fortunately while using the phones browser to research the problem I noticed the more browser window and apps I left open the the longer it would take to go to the activation screen when the phone was turned on. After leaving nearly 30 browser windows and several app such as messages note pad and other as that I was able to open using the share option from sites such as YouTube the phone had enough lag when initially booting that I actually had time to open the setting screen by quickly making a downward swipe on the screen during short time it took to go from the the opening screen to the activation screen. Once I was able to do this I had full access to the phone's option menu which allowed me to change account, turn on the dual screen option, allow third party apps to be installed as well as every thing else needed to gain full access to my phone.
Hope this helps some of you. I there are any questions I will be glad to answer them.

[Q] Where are my Sprint apps?

Ok, I know that this is kind of weird "problem" to post about here, but my One doesn't have any of the Sprint bloat/apps. I suspect it might be because my Network Operator Name in the About portion of Settings is "HTC" instead of "Sprint". I'm running viperboy's stock odexed 1.29.651.10. My wife, who also has a Sprint One, is running 100% stock and has all of the Sprint crap and her Network Operator is Sprint. So is this because I'm running a rooted "stock" ROM? Or is there something else going on? In any event, I kind of wanted to check out the Scout navigation app and it apparently isn't on my phone and certainly doesn't show up in the Play Store when I search for it or under the Sprint category. How can I get my phone to believe that it is a Sprint phone? I'll worry about freezing or ripping out bloatware I don't want later, I just want the choice!

Where did you get the phone? It doesn't sound like it's a retail device.

I got it at Sam's Club from the retail phone guy. I should add that everything else seems to work fine: Play Store access including paid apps, make and receive phone calls, 3g and LTE, wifi, GPS, etc.

A lot of the "stock" rooted roms still remove bloatware apps. Check the rom's thread on here and see if they were removed. Sometimes the bloat apps are still there, but moved to a different folder. That way, you can add what you want.

There was a thread on this a while back. I believe the general assumption is you got an HTC demo unit. Its htc branded as opposed to sprint branded. No issues save for missing sprint apps. If you take it back, theyll exchange it for the simple fact its branded htc. Just ruu first. No need to exchange, though.

I kind of wondered about that. I don't think it's really worth taking it back just for some carrier apps I'll probably end up pulling out anyway. I wonder why there seem to be so many demo units out there being sold as retail? Maybe the initial supply problems?

I dont know man. Maybe they got shipped out in retail boxes beforehand and some sprint stores never put them out on display and got them mixed up? Thats a mofo of a coincidence if so though

Further research
I've poked around a little more in my system files to see if there is any reference to Sprint and found a few apks in /system/app: SprintDMS.apk, Sprint_Worldwide.apk, SprintInstaller.apk, and SprintZone.apk. If I try to install them using ES File Explorer, the installer runs and warns me that they are system apps and tells me about permissions, then fails with the message "App not installed." (Well duh, that's why I tapped on the apk....) So at least some of the Sprint stuff is on my phone, but it is dormant somehow. Is it possible that I just didn't get activated quite right after rooting? I sort of remember something called Hands-Free Activation running for several minutes on the first boot after rooting and cancelling it because it did not seem like it was going to complete. Maybe that has something to do with it?

You (or someone) changed something in your dialer settings. There is an option to turn off sprint branding in there. When you were on stock did you have any sprint animations when the phone booted?
You just have to change one setting to fix it if the problem is what I think it is.
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Thank Autoprime for posting this fix. All your sprint apps will come back too. If that doesn't fix it PM me.

Just found this thread (not sure how I missed it when I was searching and reading thread titles before posting my thread). It is full of people with varying degrees of the same "problem" I have, but for some of them significant things are missing, like mobile network settings and so on. The fix is basically flashing the RUU and letting it download its Sprint package a few minutes after connecting to the network after that, then rebooting. I'm backing up all my apps now to give that a try.

Alright, I flashed the RUU, updated the profile and PRL and ... got the Sprint icons on the second home screen to show up! But mostly they are just links to the Play Store and the items are not available for my carrier as my carrier is still HTC. Does anyone know of a way to force my phone to get reprovisioned entirely? Maybe that would help....

And now confirmed not a demo unit, just a regular old Sprint One. So it must be something with how it got activated, right?

[Q] Install carrier exclusive apps

Is there any way to install carrier exclusive apps on non-carrier phones? I'm not talking about OEM exclusive apps, but carrier exclusive ones.
For example I want to install AT&T Locker on my Lumia, but I'm not in the US, let alone on AT&T.
Can this be done?

Yeah, same proxy technique as for OEM apps...

I tried Reker's proxy: 117.135.139.179, and also another one: 103.13.29.118.
I could freely install OEM apps, but not that AT&T Locker one.
What else can I try?

You have to actually create your own proxy rules. It should be pretty obvious what part of the URL specified from your phone is the MO identifier; you just have to change that to another MO. (For example, T-Mobile USA uses "TMO-US" and Rogers Canada uses "ROG-CA"; I think AT&T uses "ATT-US".) Those "public" proxies are only aimed at the OEM apps, since normally the MO apps aren't worth anything to people who don't use that MO.

Yeah, I can understand that Fiddler isn't the easiest thing to run... Are you using my app to install AT&T Locker or are you using the direct URL? Also after you got it installed, is it requiring an AT&T SIM or something?
Oh, another thought... What device are you using? This app actually has some provxml stuff that gets deployed on Lumia devices.

I have a Lumia (1020). So what I did was using the Auto-responder function to capture the URL then redirect it. I changed product code to a 1020 AT&T (dm=RM-877_nam_att_205), change carrier to AT&T (moId=ATT-US). I accessed it with IE using the direct URL (bookmarked in advance). I think it worked fine, since it did display the install button.
When I opened the app, it displayed a signup/login window. After enter my credentials and hit login, it crashed, and kept crashing when I tried to access back to the app. Had to remove and reinstall. Then I tried to signup for a new account, it still crashed and crashed. From my laptop, I can login fine.
I didn't see anything on the app that said it requires an AT&T sim. But since I'd changed moID to AT&T, it should be tricked into thinking my sim is AT&T isn't it? And I did keep the proxy on all the time. If you can install and run it fine, could you give me some instructions about how you did it? Like what and how parameters should be changed?

I actually have only ran it on my 520, not even on my 928 yet... I just know it needs extra privileges once installed, as it shows up inside the Tier3 list. Check on your phone if its in that list if you can.

I'm a little confused here. It sure requires an OEM level restricted capability, which is ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL, I think, so we cannot sideload it. But since I'm installing it from the store, it should be okay, isn't it? Like we can use proxy method to install Nokia Camera which obviously has this capability.

The app installs from the store, but the provxml that's inside might not be executed. Usually you can launch Tier3 using the dial string to check if it's fully installed. You can find the code in the WP8 Diagnostics thread in my sig.
EDIT: Never mind... I thought this app had one and it doesn't. I'll need to look at the xap to investigate...
Those ATIV S devices are looking to be more and more useful...
