Hello,
I recently came across a problem on my Touch Pro 2. I cannot seem to open Individual E-Mail messages so that I may view the contents of such message. I am able to list my e-mails in Both Manila and the Messaging App (The app that shows up if I click "view Inbox" from manila). But I cannot open any messages to read them from either place. Manila DOES show the message preview when available though. I don't get any errors or anything when I try to open a message, just nothing happens. SMS still works fine. I also cannot reply to an e-mail either.
I've deleted the inbox.mst file, and the other messages storaged, and let WM recreate them, but the problem still exists. I have my message storage on my sdcard right now, so the next move is going to be to move it back to the device itself to see if that helps, but this problem started long after I had moved it to the SDCard.
Does anyone have any idea's as to what could be wrong?
I used sktools to move the messaging files back to the device, and then I deleted all the email accounts, and recreated one of them.
I am still not able to open any messages downloaded on these accounts. However I am able to open the "Welcome to Windows Mobile" e-mail message that is put in the inbox when you first setup the account... Short from a hard reset, is there anything else I can do?
I have traced the problem back to it's source, and found out that this problem may strongly have to do with the fact that I had used a cab file (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468953&page=2 - Post 16) to replace my original stock rom htmlnote.dll with another one to fix an unreal sms bug. This however damaged my ability to open e-mails on my device.
I have attempted everything I can think of to delete this modified htmlnote.dll file from my windows directory, including renaming, deleteing, removing the system and read only properties from the file with totalcommander, and I have tried resco to do all of the above too. I cannot delete this file.
I figured if I am able to delete it, when I soft reset, the rom's version of htmlnote.dll will be used. But again, I cannot seem to delete this file.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi all!
I have a motorola Defy running on stock rom. Did an update through motorola software update to 2.51.1 Retail en CEE.
After the update it kept all my settings, apps, etc.
One thing though, did not test Motorola Phone Portal before the update, but it seems to work kinda strange for me (I am connecting through wifi on 192.168.1.144:8080):
1. If I click a recent photo in the home tab, a 404 page not found error appears. Can view photos only from photos tab.
2. Clicking on File Manager tab does not load at all. Have to enter the manager by clicking the link in the Photos tab (manager). I am using IE8.
3. I can`t rename, or paste any file in https://192.168.1.114:8085/webfolder. I can only copy! If I try to rename I get a no access error or something like that.
4. After refreshing the webfolder from explorer, all my folders look like they have appended my google username (ex: dcim becomes dcimusername, audio becomes audiousername). If I double click a folder I get a folder not found error.
Is this phone portal the same to you, or something is wrong with my phone?
PS: another strange thing: I created a games folder on my homescreen. Every time I restart the phone, the folder renames to default name, folder. I have to rename it to games everytime.
Managed to figure it out. I disabled Secure login, and it works flawless now!
The only downside is that it`s not asking for a password anymore. No worry though, I use it only on my private network!
Hi! Have a problem when trying to open files from gmail.
When try to open a mp3 for example, it does the download, and then shows "This file cannot be opened with System Player".
If i try a second time, the message is the same but it doesnt takes any time, i suppose the file is somewhere in sd or internal.. but i cannot find it.
I use ginger villain 2.2
Thanks!
Not sure if this will help but there's an app called Gsaver (there are other's as well). When you hit "Preview" it will ask you what to open it with, choose Gsaver and it will ask where to download the file. I'm not sure if it's been fixed in the newest Gmail release but it doesn't allow you to save attachment files.
i had similar problem,all i did was delete the Gmail app and download the latest from the market...hope it helps

Ok, i installed save my attach, and then when i try it asks me:
"complete action with:

RockPlayer"
I see the problem was it was trying to open with rockplayer... why is not the "standard" player from android?
No idea?
Thanks!
As you have already found out, an Android device is useless without the Android Market. Here is how you can get it working on your A7+.
First do a factory reset on your tablet.
Go to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Once your tablet restart you will be ready to go.
Download this package here:
Dropbox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38313345/Elocity A7+ Market.rar
Filesonic: http://www.filesonic.com/file/u0jxLhN
and extract the contents to your micro sd card or USB stick. (I used a USB stick and it worked great). There is a folder and two files:
gapps folder
Amazon Marketplace.apk (optional - see below)
Z4Root.apk
You will also need to acquire a copy of root explorer. It's a paid app and well worth the $4. How YOU acquire it is entirely up to you, I will count on you to do the right thing. The Amazon marketplace DOES work on the Elocity A7 and you can buy Root Explorer from there. I personally installed Amazon MP and bought a copy, even though I already bought one from Android Marketplace. (You can use the Amazon MP on all devices and log in with the same credentials to install on multiple devices with one purchase.)
Insert your SD card or USB stick in to your tablet and wait for them to mount.
Open your app drawer and find OI File Manager that came pre-installed on your tabled and open it, and hit the HOME button icon in the upper left corner.
Now hit storage and scroll down and look for:
SDCARD - look for sdcard-disk
USB - look for usb0-disk
Find the appropriate folder and click it, then find the z4root.1.3.0.apk and click it and you will go to the installation screen. Click Install at the bottom. Once its done, open it.
You will be presented with two options, temporary root and permanent root. Click permanent root and let it do its thing. It will restart your tablet and it will be done. (if it fails - especially if it hangs on reboot, turn the tablet off and do it again).
Repeat the steps above to install the Amazon Market if you need to. Either way you do it at this point you need to install Root Explorer.
Once you have Root Explorer installed open it, you should get a prompt for Super User access. Make sure you choose to ALLOW.
With Root Explorer open you should see / in the upper left corner, if not hit the back button until you do.
scroll down and click find the system folder, open it, then find the bin folder and open it. Scroll all the way down and find the file
wpa_supplicant
long press on this file and choose COPY, and hit the back button twice so you are back at /.
At the top of the screen is a button that says Mount R/W - click it so that is says Mount R/O, then click the PASTE button at the bottom of the screen.
Long press on wpa_supplicant and choose rename - rename the file to wpa_supplicant_bk.
Now in this same folder find the Storage Folder and open it, and find the correct folder for your external storage method (same as above) and click it. Open the gapps folder, then system folder, then the app folder.
Hit the menu button, choose Multi Select, then click select all, then copy.
Now hit back again untill you are at the / directory, then go to the System folder, and open the app folder.
Click PASTE. (if you get an error hit the Mount R/W button again) when it asks if you want to over wright some apps, choose YES to all.
Your device will flash, and jump to the Elocity Boot screen, then it will make you go through the Android setup wizard.
At this point ensure WiFi is turned OFF.
Now open root explorer, browse back to your storage method, open gapps>System>bin and find the wpa_supplicant file. Long press it, and copy it.
Now browse back to the system folder, and open the bin folder, and click paste. It will ask to confirm over wright - choose YES. (Same as above if you get protected directory error).
Finally reboot one last time and you should now have a working market!
stuck at trying to paste into /system/app folder and can't seem to toggle Mount R/W there.
update: if this happens, apparently a reinstall from the amazon appstore fixes root explorer
Even with reinstalling the app I am unable to toggle the Mount R/W button at that same point.
Update: Installing BusyBox seemed to fix whatever was keeping the toggle from working. But once I go to paste the files, it tells me there isn't enough space.
Also, somewhere along the way I lost the keyboard software, and its not detected under settings either -.-
Hey, this worked! I didn't actually do a factory reset because I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to keep, so i thought I'd take a gamble.... My Elocity A4+ didn't restart automatically after copying the files, so I restarted it manually. I thought I might be in trouble when it brought up the "sign in to google" page over phone data. Of course that couldn't be done since I have no phone and the wireless authentication wouldn't work.
I restarted again and noticed that the google authentication had a "later" option, which I selected. That took me into my tablet like it had been before. I disabled the wireless, copied the wpa_supplicant file provided, restarted again and ... viola! It worked. Reenabled wifi, went into the market and updated a bunch of apps through appbrain. I thought this tablet was good before (able to sideload most apps I needed) ... I love this tablet a lot more now. Thanks again for the info.
Got Android Market working on Elocity A7+
I also was getting the message that there was not enough space to copy the files, so I deleted some the apps that were on the Elocity A7+, like Fring. It gave me an error when deleting Fring but I did a reboot and it was gone. Android Market is now on my tablet. So far so good.
Thank you! This worked for me.
(I'd click the Thanks button but I don't have one, maybe I'm too new?)
I didn't do the factory reset either.
Had to manually reboot.
Didn't have any space problems but I uninstalled some stuff anyway.
Very Grateful
Hey Destron5683,
As someone who is not particularly well versed with Android I am super grateful for this step by step fix you've provided.
I got the A7+ yesterday and found it to be quite a deal. I was unpleasantly surprised however to discover this whole no android market none-sense. Your fix worked flawlessly, I now have the market app an have downloaded a bunch of apps that have worked great.
Skype is the 1 app I have had no luck with. I've installed it but when I try to sign in it reads an error message like:
"Skype has stopped working. Would you like to sign in again or exit Skype?"
I can't get passed that error loop. Reading around, I get the sense that Skype detects whether or not the device is compatible and blocks you from successful log in.
If by chance you now of a way to get around this, please do tell!
Again, thanks so much for posting this useful step by step guide and for going through the trouble of creating this well needed fix.
I followed these instructions to a T but after copying the app files the tab did not switch to the splash screen, so I rebooted and the "Click the android" came up but I could not click the android to continue the setup, it just got stuck there.
Android market working
Followed the instructions and it worked like a charm if you get the not enough space error delete the video trailers and try again!!
android market
Great post. I have been looking for this since getting my A7+ passed over to me. One problem, I cannot get the file from the Filesonic site. They have changed policy and only the user can download his files. Is it possible to send another link to access this file?
The instructions are very helpfull and greatly appreciated
I got everything working fairly easily with the exception
of having to reboot it myself, as others have noted it didn't
auto reboot.
Still in process of trying to find a google play apk as the
old market app from this thread while functional, it really
sucks compared to play on my infuse.
via rooted/hacked A7+ with xda app
updated market app or play store?
only problem with this hack or mod is the included market app while functional it really does suck, anyone have a line on an apk for an updated market or play app?
update
ok I'm a Tool, I asked first rather than work for it... I dug around a bit and found exactly what I needed, installed and tested, then wrote a quick set of destructions.
my following post answers the question...
Elocity A7+ working market / play store
I followed the destructions provided here (use at own risk, worked perfect for me)
Thank you Destron5683
with a few exceptions, as noted in previous reply's most people had to manually reboot
I bought root explorer on amazon market, required for getting base market working.
Once you get that up and running it's fairly straight forward to install
play Vending-3.5.16.apk (destructions below) which is available from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
scroll to bottom of first post and look for the attached files, I used the non mod version, save this file to root of an sd card
Thank you Deeco7
Again follow at your own risk, this process worked for me, it may not work for you...
I kept an sd card in so I could backup the file in a place that won't get overwritten/deleted if I have to factory reset at some point
open root explorer, make sure your at / in upper left corner, next navigate to /system/app scroll down list to Vending.apk
, long press, copy, hit back twice so your at / again, navigate to /storage/sdcard-disk0 (or wherever you prefer to save backup)
press paste, now rename file to Vending.bak (or whatever you will remember)
rename the Vending-3.5.16.apk to Vending.apk
long press it and select copy, navigate back to /system/app , hit Mount R/W , delete Vending.apk , then paste your new Vending.apk into folder.
hit back button untill root explorer exits, then shut off and restart
you should have Play Store icon in app bin, press it and enjoy.
not sure if it was my router or isp or tablet, apps didn't want to start downloading in play store,
as soon as I exited from play store it had downloaded 1 app and was getting the second one,
they installed fine, hope this helps people (next time I ran play it worked fine so likely isp)

Z4 seems to punish you when you uninstall it or turn off root. After uninstalling, my Bluetooth , Google Maps, Youtube and Foursquare no longer work properly on my A7+ Reinstall it and they all come back !

When you do this on Elocity A7+ does it allow you to use apps that would normally not work on the system?
filesonic link not working
Thanks for the great step by step! I just need the filesonic file(s) but the link does not seem to be working.
I would be most grateful if someone would host the file.
Thanks in advance.

Jonnycrash did you find a way around the android welcome screen that wont respond. I am stuck with the same problem.
my usb port is not working anymore
hey so I have two problems that im 100% sure are connected. One - anything I try to download (on stock browser, ICS Browser +, and Chrome) all fail even after numerous retries and clearing Download Manager / Downloads / Browsers data and rebooting.
Two - my sdcard/Download folder appears to be empty when using Astro and through a usb connection. Going to data/media/Download, I see all the contents of the folder, but sdcard/Download shows it as empty (false).
I'm on AOKP B28 and Franco M2
Any ideas? id love to be able to download things on my stupid phone again -______________________-
Edit: SOLUTION at post #14
I just got my galaxy nexus but from previous phones this is caused by not redoing permissions. Hope this helps. Rom Manager should help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Fixed permissions. Download folder still showing up as empty. Downloads still unsuccessful.
Did you flash the sense 4.0 port by any chance?
That happened to me after I flashed that, couldn't see my pictures in gallery either.
To fix it I transferred all my sdcard contents to my computer, locked my bootloader and then unlocked it again and all was good!
Transferred everything back again then after.
nope havent flashed anything crazy but my custom rom and kernel
Well give that trick a go, it might sort everything out.
that method is basically a data wipe and would require me to reinstall the rom, kernel, restore all 300 apps and data ... every lengthy process .. without even a guarantee that it will fix the problem. but ill keep it in mind as a very last resort
anyone have any other suggestions?
It won't wipe rom and kernel, they will be fine but yes, unlocking it will wipe your apps.
It really is a last resort but in the thread for the sense port that is what the dev recommends.
Try everything you can before doing that obviously but I looked and that's all I could find that would work.
I'll keep an eye on this thread so if you find any way post it because I'm interested in finding out.
so any1 have a fix? i tried searching google and xda, found no solution or anything even close ...
Download an app called "Download All". Open it just once and close it, then try downloading the file again. I've had this problem before, and this seemed to have solved the problem for me. Let me know how it works out for you.

Reading. An amazing tool.
Try Dolphin browser HD
Okay so.. I wish I would've taken a screenshot of the file before I deleted it but whatever I guess I'll just describe the entire scenario for anyone else who's having this problem and getting no answers (to the guy who said Dolphin Browser.... Really?.......).
So first of all, data/media/Download functioned 100% fine, sdcard/Download, however, was basically a hollow tomb. You couldn't place any new files into it or even access any of the old files because the folder would appear as empty. So after getting not much help from xda and getting fed up with being unable to download anything at all (you'd be surprised how many things you need to download on a daily basis), I decided to look around using Astro and Root Explorer... Now this is where it gets weird/interesting...
So, using Astro, I found nothing out of the ordinary. But going into Root Explorer, I found a file(not folder) called "download" which was 4.36mb, had permissions rw-rw-r I believe, and showed no content when using a text editor or opening as a zip file. At first I tried setting this files permissions to that of any other folder I had in /sdcard, thinking all my download problems were because the permissions were set wrong, but even after changing the permissions, I couldn't download anything off the Internet. So I go back to the file, again with Root Explorer (this file wouldn't even show up in Astro.. anywhere), and decide to rename it, thinking it's just causing problems (deliberately or accidently) to downloadxxxx.zip (it had no extension before, just strictly "download") but even after this my problems still persist. Lastly, I just decide to delete this weird file altogether and... Voila, I was able to copy a file into my Download folder again, I can download files off the Internet, and i can view/access the contents of the folder. So everything is back to normal, hurray. I'm just curious what the hell that 4.36mb file could have been and why was it messing with downloads even after being renamed (I figured, okay, if it had the same name as the folder, that might cause problems, but after a rename... It made no sense). My only thought now is that the file was a trojan, but I'm not a coder or massive software techy so I can't say for sure. Anyways, problem solved. Just goes to show, sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands. Hope this will help someone in the near future. Cheers.

Good job! This one is being saved as a mental note!
Also I don't want to be pedantic, OK I lie I do, but by woala I presume you meant voila as in the french word.
I dabbled in a bit of French in school.
only thing that worked for me was to lock and unlock the phone.(for some weird reason rom manager does not correct permission and gives an error). You will erase everything but at least you start fresh, eh?

I am having the exact problem that you are and would love to try your fix... The only problem with that is I need to know where you found this file? I did a search using Root Explorer but didn't see any files called download, just a bunch of folders and databases with the "string" download somewhere in their name. Any help would be great but I am getting very close to just locking my phone again and starting over in hopes that this will do the trick.
Thanks
