I just bought this phone and I have no idea where to begin. Salesperson was not sure either, so my question is 1) bought memeory card 1g, and was able to store 15 songs, but when I try to sync more it says not enough memory and to delete old files for storage. Okay how do you do that and I was told that 1g card will let me store bout 200 songs, hmmm. Next, browsing enternet explorer, says to close previous pages, like how? I just use it for pleasure, pics, music... but thus far having problems with it all, should i return it before my 14 days are up? Any help will be appreciated, yall!!!

First off welcome to the forum. Second, before you do anything, if you're not sure if you want to keep the phone, you should do some reading before you do any type of alteration or modifications to it. The're is a ton of stuff you can do, and a lot of apps , programs , etc. I hope you didn't spend too much money for that 1g card , cause with a 6.1 rom you can use up to 16gb card. The problem with the reg 6.0 rom is that is full of crap, the only reason is telling you to close previous pages is that you're running out of ram memory, I had the same problem when I first got the phone, but the difference with me is that I bought the phone with the notion that I was going to do a lot of initial work to get the phone where I wanted it to be.
E.G. I got a better rom right away, it took 4 different flashes to find the one I liked, I got a better web browser (opera mini) and did a lot of reading , on how to do all sorts of stuff and learn how to make it my own. Now I got a ton of nice stuff running on my phone. I got a lot of help from a lot of good people here. There's a lot of valuable info on all of the stickies on the top of the main page. SEARCH is your friend. You got to remember that this phone didn't come out yesterday, so if you decide to keep the phone , there's a 99.999 percent chance that someone already asked any question that you might have, so that's why we encourage everyone to search before making threads with stupid questions, that only takes minutes to find an answer. If you still don't find the right answer, you will find the proper thread to ask it. If you decide to keep the phone, ther's a million apps to get, a better music player, video player , weather apps , games , ringtones , automatic wallpaper changer, file changer , change your font , color of such font , backup software, the list goes on and on. Anyways good luck, and I hope my time will help you make a choice.

1) Use the search option here on XDA or Google. I am sure you can find answers for 99.9% of the queries you might have. And if you can not find them at first, you need to try different wording also.
2) Are you sure you are storing them on the memory card and not on the phone memory? How big are the songs? If you rip songs from a CD you might have files that are too big. If you bought a new memory card it should be clean and without anything else, unless you also stored videos, pictures and what not. Something is not 100% clear here. You say you stored 15 songs on the memory card, but then you don't know how to delete them?
3) Don't use Internet Explorer. I use skyfire, its a great browser and I suggest you get it also.

Yeah I love it 'cause I have like 600+ wallpapers on my sd card , so instead of browsing thru them to get one , I make theme packs with them to work with the WPC, place the packs on the WPC wallpaper directory, and the WPC does the rest.
Hi folks. I don't know what to do here. I have a brand new HTC Touch Pro2 (HTC Rhodium), as you probably know that this device offers TouchFLO 3D. TouchFLO has a weather gadget built in it. When I go ahead and tell it to find my CITY, it doesn't find it. I give it my ZIP code, it doesn't find it, I give it a nearby ZIP code it doesn't find that one also, nearby city is not found as well. My zip is 18966, but in regards to weather forecast we use nearby ZIP code. My zip code belongs to two towns and the town that usually comes up for my ZIP is a bit far from me. So we always use nearby city's ZIP code. But this app doesn't find any of them. My zip is 18966, but for this purpose we always use 18954. This city is 5 minutes away, rather then using my real zip code 18966 that is also shared with a town that is 25 minutes away.
So what can I do to maybe input more zip codes to find? AccuWeather.com - finds all of the zip codes mentioned. What should I do??
You can only add cities which are already listed. But you can add any city that is listed in AccuWeather, using the editor in the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918
A bit more cumbersome than it should be, but it works.
THANX!!!!!

No, it replaces the original city/zip database with a much larger one, and the touchflo weather tab just uses the new database.

If so, than I need to understand this bit batter. If in future, after I do this, if I would need to do a hard reset; this won't affect it, right? If I do this, this will be permanently??
Help with your problem
If you don't mind doing a hard reset, then I would sugest that. You were given good info. go to the previous link. What you have to do is this. Have a storage card that you can download software to. keep a folder for the software that you have tried and want to reinstall if you have to do another hardreset. What you have to do is FIRST install MICROSOFT .NET CF 3.5 after that, then you can install CONFLIPPER NORTHAMERICA WEATHER v.5 After you do these two steps, then you can go to the WEATHER TAB and select to add a city. It will take a little while to get things going, but just be patient. I have it installed on my phone. I GOOGLED your zip. SOUTHHAMPTON,PA I then went to my weather tab and selected your city and it came up. As of 09:43 AM on Jan. 7,2010 the weather in your town was SUNNY 32% with a High of 37% and a Low of 26% for today. It works. Trust what you are being told. we all here were nubes at one time or another. We have tweaked and hacked our Smartphones. We share with everyone, so we can get help when we need it. This is just one issue. You will run into more and you will most likely get the answers that you need by keeping up with the forums. Try another browser called SKYFIRE. It's great. It is the browser that I have used almost since the day I got my TP2. Hope this also helps. Pay it foward!

Not for me!! I need to find 18954 not 18966 (Richboro is closer to Holland/Northampton Township than Southampton)
But, it doesn’t find any of them. I turned it off, and I use regular Home Screen. Besides Regular Home screen also tells you what day of the week it is, TouchFLO 3D doesn't do it. I’ll be glad to try to update from my 6.1 to 6.5 though.

The device is only meant for chevron unlocked/developer unlocked devices that are HTC

I like it. Work very well. Top!
One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)
Very good work!

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...
There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?
Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?
how can i install it on my phone?
Since the release of ICS on our phone I'd been having the issue of Media Server eating up 50-60% of my battery at all times and none of my pictures, ringtones or music showing up in any of the stock google apps. I know a number of people were having the same problem. I assumed it was kernel issue (it still might be) but i wanted to figure out if it's user fixable. To figure out what the problem was I pulled every last audio file off my SD cards and re-added them one at a time.
The problem seems to be with the m4a scanner/decoder in the media server. m4as use a different algorithm than mp3s so the 2 file types are scanned/decoded separately. The problem seems to be in my case that the ringtone for the facebook app pop which resided on my internal SD was hanging the scanner and blocking all the other media files on both SDs. Other m4as were causing problems too, none of which seem to be corrupt or dysfunctional. It seems that m4as scan before mp3s and m4as are more prone to catastrophic failure so they are the biggest offender.
tl;dr
The fix:
Step 1: Remove all m4as from your sd cards to a folder on your desktop via usb storage; ringtones and all. I dont have any AAC files (itunes format) but they are m4as as well so I recommend removing them as well.
Step 2: Add them back one at a time, each time disconnecting from your computer and checking battery stats. If the file is ok you will see media server fall off the list within a minute. If media server hangs at 50% then that audio file is your culprit.
Step 3: If the offending file doesn't show itself, remove all audio files from your sd; mp3, wav, aiff, whatever. Use a mp3 repair app (I use http://www.triq.net/articles/mp3-validator-mac-os-x for mac, theres eleventy-seven of them for pc. I dont claim to know which is best) to check and repair them and re-add them one at a time in the same procedure as step 2. Hopefully it wont come to this.
If none of these steps work start checking other media files. Corrupt video or image files might cause the same problem as they are all scanned by the media server.
Hope this helps
Not pulling 1.8k songs from my phone lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
No one told you that you have to.
That is definitely a WORKaround....LOL!!!
Think i will just stick to the GB ROM's for now. I have 26gb of AAC (m4a) music on my phone right now. I do appreciate you taking the time to figure this out!!!!
It took me about 3 hrs to get it working properly and most of that time was spent getting all the 20GB of music off my phone onto my computer. The troubleshooting aspect went pretty quick.
I have no empirical proof that the issue is caused only by m4as but i have an inkling that it is, just based on what i went through during the fix. So unless you only use m4a and aac audio files it actually is pretty easy. You can actually use the mp3 repair programs while the files are still on your phone to cut out a large portion of the initial time consuming dump.
Thanks for the tip, but this definitely isnt a fix btw for the record. And here is my little rant. Not towards anybody though. Just to google actually since there is no answer from them whatsoever regarding this issue.
Whatever media files you might have "mediaserver" thing shouldn't happen. We could be downloading some new ringtones and wallpapers that are "corrupted"...(how the hell are we supposed to know if the files aren't corrupted. And what the hell does it mean by corrupted? Was something supposed to really even care that files are so called corrupted? )
Does your 3 year old mp3 player drain battery by just having a corrupted music file?
Google should step into this and fix it....
I had the same issue, in fact I posted about it 2 days ago in the Q&A section trying to find a solution. In searching, and I did a lot of it, I'm sure I ran across your thread in a Google search and started doing what you suggested.
In doing that, and then checking to see if it would still run after reboot, even after having very little media left on my cards, that stupid media server would not stop running. So it got old pulling of little by little so I finally just took everything off and reformatted both my internal and external SD cards. Now I never see the Media Server running in the battery stats.
I've been slowly adding stuff back in, paying attention to the server and it doesn't show it running constantly anymore.
I know it was a corrupt file that ICS didn't like somewhere, a MP3 or ringtone...something it was scanning and getting stuck on.
It's nice having a clean SD card again. After many flashes and different ROM's, I had so much crap on there, who knows what it could of been. But it solved my problem; and thanks for the heads-up because I was at a loss as to why I was having this issue and others not! Very happy now
Did help on my phone.
Thanks alot!
Is there any way to get Media Server to ignore directories? I think I am having issues with it hitting a WebM file.
TBH, I don't know why I want it to scan my files. I keep them in a fairly organised way and would probably be fine if it never bothered to scan for them.
add a blank file named ".nomedia" in whatever directory you wish it to ignore. all subdirectories will be excluded as well.

U resurrected an old thread why?..
MediaServer is the media scanner, you can remove, but your libraries wont be refreshed, there ARE apps online that can be used to replace, and offer 1-click scan, & scheduled scan. But as of official release, (for me anyways) this is a non-issue.
Plz don't resurrect old threads.. thx

Hi, I've been trying to find a fix for this issue and after reading all posts and doing several Google searches, I still have not found a satisfactory fix. Removing everything and putting it back one by one is a VERY time consuming work around, but no fix. Stopping the service and replacing it with 1-click or scheduled sync is also not a fix. I am using the latest 1.6 Paranoid Android ROM and this issue started all on its own without me doing any updates to the music or videos. Only changes are new photos and new or updated apps. I hope a proper fix is found sooner rather than later.

It really is the only fix, and it works. I too started removing things one by one until I got fed up and completely reformatted both internal & external sd cards a few months back, and the issue never returned.
I had one of the Devs tell me it's always good practice when making a OS change, like GB to ICS to start with fresh reformatted cards; because you don't know what junk is left behind on the cards, that the new OS is not going to like. It works, you don't need to stop any services, and its worth the time.

3D scanner app exports all scanner objects with there textures to phone memory. (Mtl, obj, texture files)
Would it be possibile to import prescanned objects to the app ?
Has engine success in this ?
also I wonder if it is possible to make some shiny surface not shine.
is there a spray or such to achieve this ?
It's an interesting app, not sure if it has any use yet, but it's a start. It can't / won't do faces.
It actually can do face and head

Didn't Samsung remove that capability day after phone went for sale with the update? I downloaded original version, deleted updated one and installed old one. No go, there is no icon to start it up and as soon as I start it via Bixby vision, it closes. If you know the trick, can you please share or if it's a secret send me a msg? I'm very interested in this app and it was the thing that pushed me into buying 10+, since it's lacking other stuff I wanted and I was on the fence, kind of undecided originally, till I saw that 3d app. Now the stupid app is totally crippled. BTW I have SD so root is out of the question ATM.
No more facial / people scans. This option was removed with the update. Even now I can't completely scan an object as it fails mid way through. Hopefully they will update it again so it's more stable.

I noticed this also. I tried to scan my cousin and it kept giving me an error. I was able to it but only partially starting from the back of the head but by the time I got to the face it kept shutting off. What's up with this? Security issue?
No clue but the only way I was able to scan my kids was to install the original installer of the 3d app and then turn off data and wifi so it wouldn't connect to Samsung and request the update.
Dont see a way to import into the app.
Could be possible.
And for scanning people. I believe it still works.
Seems with the new update. That it fails of the ground is black or darkly colored.
So if your scanning a face. Try to have the person wear a light colored shirt.
Also i had to untill the old one and reboot a few times before installing the new to get it to work.
Can someone post a link to the "original" 3d scanner app from Samsung? The updated one is garbage!

Proof or it didn't happen.....
this thread has gone out of its purpose.
I was asking to find/develop import method for pre scanned objects.
nobody interested ?
Win10 comes with 3D viewer, I could open all 3D scans I made on my phone with that viewer, after I transferred the files to my laptop and unzipped them. They actually looked pretty good, textures and everything. Viewer has 3D print and export options, but my 3D printer is not set with Win10 3D printing, so couldn't test that.
But I'm not sure what exactly are you trying to do? Import scans made with phone into what? 3D print them? View them in VR? Or are you trying to import 3D scans from others into phone and use them there? I think Samsung is using Arcsoft software for 3D scanning, maybe that company has other software that could be used with their scans.

All you need after it's created the scan and resulting files(share it as an attachment in an email)is to import it into a slicer(the stl can then be imported directly into your slicer application). Then, create a gcode file to import into your printer..
Done..

Thanks for your responses but I think you totally misunderstood my question.
I am not asking about scanned obkects on phone. I am asking about importing prescanned objects (either scanned on another Note 10 or on PC) to the phone.
Actually I have a few nicely scanned objects (with texture) which I would like to use as AR figures.
did you try copying a 3d scan from another Note, or from a pc? error message or anything? i don't see what would be the problem transferring and viewing 3d scan files between notes but maybe from another device there could be issues due to potential incompatibilities between software/hardware.

Of course, I tried that. File from other Note10+ or from other source does not show up in the application.
I guess the app saves them in a DB together with the individual files. So , we need a "import" method to use them.
