New Post: All China andriod pads or mobiles are not detectiong

upcaman — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 02:00:33 GMT

I know, ranting..... but the HTC One has no SD card slot, AND no user swappable battery!!!! Can you believe that!!!! My HTC EVO 3D came with I think 4GB SDHC card, I upgraded to a 16GB card and now I can't move apps onto it!!!!

That is a major malfunction!!!

You have to have at least TWO batteries and be able to swap them! The phone will be no good as soon as the battery dies and you have to toss the phone rather than get a new battery!!! MALFUNCTION!!!!

I have had my HTC EVO 3D for nearly 2 1/2 years and I have had to get a new battery even using good battery hygiene and all, the phone is still a great phone, why throw it away because the battery died???? You need to be able to upgrade internal memory too, if I didn't have an SDHC slot I would be stuck with only 4GB ext RAM and the measly small amount of internal RAM. It's about long term CASH FLOW !!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain, it's Android hell and not sure what to do about it, I have had hit and miss success with Droid Explorer but Android (Google) keeps changing the specs and hardware support (or no support) and so what is the answer???

I really hate that Google pulled direct hardware support for Ext SDHC cards, the answer to that is phones that do NOT allow External SDHC cards support like the HTC One, and one other new phone, can't remember right now, that only allow internal RAM (FLASH) since Google pulled support for it. All apps will dump into /sdcard and it really sucks, forces you to use their "Cloud" drives too for larger media, it's all about the CASH FLOW!!!!!

Android Hell!

New Post: Ok, I know it's supposed to be rooted phone, busybox.....but.....????

upcaman — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:46:31 GMT

Oh, and I even have Extended backups .abex of this phone which I like so when I go to restore it knows it's the right device!!! So, how did I get those backups on a NON-ROOTED HTC EVO 3D before but now I can't??? What is "fixed" I want to break it!!! :-)

upcaman — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:42:27 GMT

I have an HTC EVO 3D CDMA Sprint phone with Android 4.0.4 and it is NOT rooted and it didn't have busybox installed, but it used to work and now it's not working right. I noticed when I go into the Dalvik Debugger that my data is showing up there and it looks like I could PULL files or PUSH, delete whatever. The logging works and everything. So I looked at the Droid Explorer log and it ends with can't find busybox trying to open shell.......wow how did I guess that!!!

So, at some point I was able to get data backups, not sure how much, not everything but I could see allot of stuff, about 4GB image files but there is more data on the phone than that.

Now just the / folder and it looks empty. So, I got Busybox for non-rooted phones and installed it according to Burrows instructions and it all worked on my phone but he puts the tools in a non-standard location and even by setting the PATH= using Terminal Emulator Droid Explorer still errors out unable to find busybox. Can't I get this working again????? I have previous backups that I can't use now. Can't get new ones, I thought about just running ADB.exe from CMD prompt but the whole idea of Droid Explorer is to having a GUI to make it easier.

Anyway, still in Android Hell, thanks!

New Post: Emulating the volumen keys (maybe among others)

Screencast is actually a 3rd party tool, although, I have been working on a similar tool myself. Not sure if the volume keys can be emulated, especially while in recovery mode.

There is a bug in 0.8.8.8 with installing APKs. The apk gets installed (usually) but Droid Explorer crashes after.

New Post: Crash After Installing APK

PioneerDroid — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:41:20 GMT

Update:

I played around some more and realized I had a copy of 0.8.8.2 sitting around on my flash drive and figured what the heck uninstall .8.8.8 (and all leftover files) and sure enough it works like a charm. So Im not sure what is missing from .8.8.8 but .8.8.2 works great. I have not tried other older versions but maybe something up with the newer one(s). Thank You for a great product.

New Post: Crash After Installing APK

PioneerDroid — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:58:23 GMT

I have been using this for several years now (love the program). I have always been able to use the program with no issues on my phone with custom rom. I recently redid my computer and reinstalled everything. I installed my Android SDK to all current (which it was before the computer redo). I also updated to the Java JDK 7u21. Installing Droid explorer .8.8.8.8 went great (all versions of JDK, Droid Explorer, Android SDK are 64 bit versions). After setup I did a test on a apk .. and then it crashs on install. I tried several other apks with the same result as well as on another phone. The result was the same. I checked the log and heres my result. Anyone has any suggestions. I have loved being able to install apks right from the program. Heres my log.

New Post: Emulating the volumen keys (maybe among others)

DiorHTC — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:32:34 GMT

Hello Droid users,

first of all, did I mention how great is Droid explorer?, It is, Very very great.

my question is about emulate the volume keys (it maybe also expanded to camera key or other keys in other phones)

The reason it, I try to use Droid explorer to recover info from a quite dead android phone, (half of the screen on the mobile is off, keys missbehave or they do not behave at all, both touch ones and hardware ones)

So i connect to Droid explorer successfully, I manage to reboot and so, I manage to enter into the recovery mode, I manage to see the screen with the Screencast Pluging, and while I can use the soft keys trough the pluging (Home/Menu/Back/Search/Call/EndCall) I can see any way to emulate the volumen keys

Is that possible in the actual version of Droid explorer?
May it be in a future version ?
Is it possible to emulate those keystrokes trough the shell ?

(I really need to backup the device from the recovery, and then wipe it off)

Thanks a lot,
DiorHTC

New Post: Speed of video recorded with Droid Explorer from Samsung Galaxy Nexus is increased

skyb0y — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:59:13 GMT

Hello,

I'm using Droid Explorer to capture videos from my phone device. I've used on LG Optimus One and i had no problems with it. But now i've changed my device to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the speed of the video that is recorded is very fast. It's looks like the video is played on 4X or higher.

Does anybody has some hints for me ?

Thanks,

Best regards,

New Post: DroidExplorer.0.8.8.6.x86 Unable to locate Android SDK directory

jennix — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 19:28:16 GMT

This is a complete train wreck.

If the correct download isn't available (and obvious) via the download link, remove the bloody link, please.

If you need something installed before running the installer, PLEASE TELL US HOW because:

... installing the confounded windows sdk installer as described above still gives the same error. To make the installer function correctly i had to (a) install only for me and (b) install the entire 4.2 SDK IN ADDITION TO the SDK tools.

This application was wonderful when i first installed it, but since it's become a PITA. I spent nearly two hours today on what should have been a 3 minute upgrade.

Thanks for your work in the past.
