i just got my htc tilt yesterday. everything was fine, i even got a hang of it. i started downloading apps by simiply putting it in a applications folder and installin it when i click it from my device. however, once i installed a customizer for the home screen, my phone kept restarting itself without barely making it to the home screen everytime. i tried many things then had to hard reset the device. once i did so, everything went into orginal settings except for the fact that the folder is no longer there where i drag applications by sync. i dont know what to do.
can someone help me?? how will i be able to send plugs ins to my device...no matter what folder i put it under, it doesnt show up on device!!
i really have no idea what you are talking about. you need more details all you said was you installed something and your device screwed up and you don't have to copy a cab to your applications folder it can be run from anywhere
Hey guys,
For some reason, I can't mount USB unless I'm in debugging mode.
I plug the cable into my phone. The phone will bleep. I'll see the little USB logo and in the pulldown, under ONGOING, I can see it there, but usually there is two lines of text, but I only see one. When I click on it to be presented with the mount option, I hear the bleep when I click it, but nothing comes up.
Or maybe my PC isn't recognizing it unless in debugging mode? I have all the drivers installed. I'm positive I do, because it was the only way to get the super one click root. I've never had problems mounting.
On a side note, maybe it is relevant, my wifi connectivity has gotten really bad the last few days. My connection has stayed the same, and I've check all the usual PC settings, power cycle, etc. I can't check my Twitter, I can't send emails with attachments. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers didn't work. When in debugging mode, and I plug in, I did notice in the device manager, there would be something "ADB" popup. That's what's not showing itself in non debugging mode.
I'm not sure what I could have done. Any ideas? Thanks!
Go in to settings, usb settings and choose mass storage, if it's set to ask on connection it sometimes doesn't bring up the mount option in the notification bar, you'd think it would mount auto magically but it doesn't.
Edit; sorry didn't read the whole post, sounds like a driver issue..

I figured that much. The combination of things I've attempted so far regarding the drivers has not been successful.
Mounting USB on Rogers
Hey there I've noticed the same problem until I actually pulled down the top menu bar at the top where the USB symbol is. You pull that down and look for the USB settings icon tap that and choose MOUNT and or UNMOUNT.
Hope this helps....I only noticed this on Eclair 2.1 and not on Froyo where it actually brings up a dialogue box.
Just a word of advise, when you unlcok it with the unlock software from here beware you might end up with a generic or false IMEI number as I did.
I get the drop down, and I see the USB option, but clicking on it does nothing. The PC won't recognize it.
For those who are having this issue, the only way I've manage to fix this is:
1. Uninstall Samsung drivers and delete extras manually.
2. Restart PC.
3. Reinstall driver.
4. Restart PC.
5. Plug in device and give it a few minutes.
I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I've had to do this twice so far, and it worked both times. Hope it helps.
I had this problem also and after looking around I found several people that suggest switching to a USB port right off the mobo. After doing this it connects every time.
My Verizon Wireless Droid 3 stopped booting normally on Tuesday evening. It has not been rooted or anything like that. When I boot it now, once the boot sequence has finished instead of displaying the home screen it stays stuck on the red animated boot screen for a little while and then goes completely blank. I cannot do anything with the phone - none of the buttons work. I can hear some audio notifications however so it seems to be booted completely, but locked to any user input. I get the same behavior when booting it in safe mode. If I call my cell phone from a landline, it receives the call, displays the incoming call on the screen, and I can accept or reject it using the normal screen swipe motions. When the call is answered, I can talk/hear as well as use the in-call dial pad. I cannot, however, use any of the 4 buttons at the bottom of the phone or access the notification bar at the top of the screen. As soon as the call ends, the screen becomes unusable/blank again.
Once booted in this state, after a couple of minutes it sort of resets, in that it sounds/displays the "Droid" message, followed by the red animated boot screen. However, if connected to my computer when this happens, the two external drives do not disappear, which seems to indicate that the phone is still at least semi-booted during this time? If left alone, that cycle repeats and repeats (every few minutes it sounds/displays "Droid" then the red animated boot screen).
When I connect a USB cable to my computer while the phone is up in this state, it displays two empty external drives.
Through research on this forum and others I have downloaded/installed adb and the Android SDK. I cannot get adb to recognize the phone, presumably because I'm quite sure USB Debugging was not enabled on my phone before it started acting up.
When booting via FastBoot and connecting via USB it recognizes a "Android ADB Interface" device in device manager, however adb itself still does not recognize the device.
Doing a factory reset is not an option at this point due to encrypted files/photos on the phone/sd card. I had to turn encryption on in order to use my corporate e-mail on the phone.
The boot menu gives me these options:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
AP Fastboot
BP SBF Flash
BP Only
BP HW Diag & Boot AP
BP Tools
Can anyone give me some advice on gaining access to the phone via adb or anything else? I've seen mention of Early USB Enumeration on some other androids, but am not seeing this option on my phone anywhere.
Forgot to mention that I also tried wiping the phone's cache via the recovery menu, but to no avail.

Since you said you can receive calls, during a call, place in speakerphone mode and hit the HOME button. It should background the call to the notification bar and unlock sliding down the notification bar and take you to the home screen. (using AT&T I can do this to stay in call and browse/do whatever on data while in a call).
Have someone (or you) call the phone, press home, then hit Menu > Settings > Applications > debugging and enable USB debugging. This should get you ADB, do NOT hang up during this just in case.

I can place the call in speaker mode, but the home button (plus the other 3) still do not work, nor does the notification bar (although I can see the notification bar). At some point it did delegate the call to the notification bar (although not immediately after placing it in speaker mode), but at that point the rest of the screen went black and only the notification bar was visible (but not accessible). I did receive a message this time, right before answering the call, that process Home Screen was stuck or something and it prompted me to either force close or wait. I told it to wait. And now it just initiated a partial reboot, even though I was still in-call.
Also, in case it's relevant, I am using LauncherPro as my home screen.

Sounds like something may have happened to LauncherPro, and since it's your default launcher, the home button isn't going back to regular motorola home. Try booting the phone and (hoping) if it has a data connection, on your PC go to https://play.google.com/apps login, it should display your devices, click on your Droid 3, find LauncherPro, and uninstall remotely. It should be the small trash-can next to where it says 'installed'
OR you can try installing another launcher, such as ADW, Go Launcher, etc. and remotely installing it, then hitting home, which SHOULD reprompt for default launcher/home.
Maybe do a combination of the two, just to insure you're not stuck without a launcher at all, though not rooting, MotorolaHome shouldn't have been affected.

You are a lifesaver. You rock. You are awesome. I'd click Thanks on your post one thousand times if it would let me. I have my phone back!
I followed both suggestions - I loaded the Play store on my computer and installed ADW as well as removed Launcher Pro plus a few other apps. It took I think 3 boot cycles before it finished making all of those changes on my phone (because it would only stay up for 1-2 minutes each time), but once it was done I had my phone back.
I could access my pics on my phone then, but not on my computer. Due to them being encrypted you have to connect in PC Mode for it to decrypt them properly when copying to the computer, but in PC Mode it wasn't registering the right drivers. Took me awhile to track down the proper ones online (I was looking at Verizon when it was actually Motorola drivers I needed), but I finally found them and installed them and just finished copying over all my pics to my computer - and verified they decrypted properly.
In recent weeks I've been kicking around the idea of rooting my phone and installing a custom rom. Thinking this might be a good time to try it now that I have everything copied off of my phone now. I don't know much about custom roms though. Do you happen to know if any of the available ones for D3 will support corporate e-mail?

Good news. But, do yourself a favor - try activating a service that automatically uploads all photos, such as Google+ or Dropbox or Sugrasync. That way if you ever get to a point where you need to factory reset you'll have copies of your photos somewhere else.

Most likely any roms that are built on the D3 source will unless they stripped it. I use Maverick rom 4.0 myself, it is based on 906 with enhancements, debloat, themed, etc. There are still many bugs to work out on AOSP built roms (cyanogenmod, aokp, etc. Any ics/jb roms). I would suggest sticking with a stable gb rom if it is your business phone.

That sounds like a good idea. I wonder, though, if those services would upload the encrypted or decrypted version of the photos. I'll have to test it and see.

Hmm, ok. I'll have to give it some more thought then. It's my personal phone, but I do have my work e-mail setup on it and access it fairly regularly. I don't absolutely need to have my work e-mail on my phone, but it's certainly very helpful to have it setup there.
I've also been thinking about doing a factory reset, as the phone in general has gotten progressively slower as time goes on. Thinking the factory reset might help in that regard. I wonder if there's any way to remove some of the stock Verizon apps I never use when doing a factory reset. I'll have to look into that. I guess I should go search these forums again!

I setup FolderSync to upload my photos to Google Drive and it is successfully uploading them in decrypted form. Thank you for the suggestion!
Hello,
I have a serious problem. Last friday, I receive a brand new HTC ONE, free of carrier, as I live in Nigeria. I put my sim card inside, I sync with google, I personalize with music, photos, msg... and then I make a save on the computer (macbook pro); later on the day, I change some widgets, and few things (when I transfer the music, one time out of two, HTC sync Manager says the device is not connected, whereas it is of course.)
Next morning I want to listen to the music, as it is one of the assets of the device. The music is played for 10 sec, and then stops. I think there is a minor problem, I decide to reboot.
-first surprise, the device starts on the configuration saved on the computer, and not on the configuration of the reboot.
-then I try a factory reset, via the android menu. the device goes into the reset mode, with the two green arrows, turning in the same way, indicating that the reset is being done. But, after one minute or so, a red triangle with an exclamation point replaces the two green arrows.
Then, the device comes back to the saved configuration of the computer.
-I try to perfrom a factory reset, hard reset from the HTC menu with PWR and - button of the unit. but it is the same result as the attempt with the android menu, it boots on the saved configuration.
-I try to download the update android 4.3 and HTC sense 5.5 from HTC servers but once downloaded, the device says the update is corruted and will not install it.
It is a big problem to me because bewteen the moment of the save and the moment I reboot the device, willingly or due to a loss of battery, every piece of content I would create, receive, or add, like music, photo, videos, emails, txt msg... would disapear.
I've tryed to make another save on the computer, but HTC sync manager keeps telling me there is no save done. At the bottom right corner, there is the sync button, and the free space on the device. When I transfer something on the device, even if it is 10 GB of data, the free space is not changing. It stays around 24.58 GB...
I don't know what to do, but I love this phone, and I want it to work properly. If I need to install something, please let me know, but I don't know the basics, like installing custom roms or something else.

I have a Nexus 6 & in the last few days, my ringtone folder just disappears. It only seems to happen when I get a call from a ringtone that I have customised to a particular contact, from what I can tell. Yet when I plug my phone into my laptop, it still shows the ringtone folder as being there. But it definitely isn't showing in File Manager on my phone and I just get a very quiet 'dong' when someone rings me.
If I go into sounds, the names of all my ringtones are there, but if I press any of them, it just comes up with the same 'dong'.
Notifications are unaffected.
I have a rooted Nexus 6 running 5.1.1. I actually wiped the phone on Friday, thinking this would help and it was maybe just a glitch somewhere. All it did was wreck my phone completely to the extent I had to re download an image of 5.1.1 from Google and reflash it, as it wouldn't even boot up properly.
Has anyone else had this? I've had a read around the internet and can't see anything similar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
