Moment FAQ! A guide to common questions.

Hello,

Quick question. I just saved all of my photos from my memory card to my computer, I just unmounted my sd card to format it to erase the data. Is there anyway that I can resave the photos to my sd card?
 
After a few fruitless attempts to find what I figured had to be present, I finally ran across this pretty good list here: http://android-tips.com/use-keyboard-shortcuts-to-switch-between-applications.

Open applications:
Browser SEARCH + b
Contacts SEARCH + c
E-Mail SEARCH + e (not Gmail)
Google Mail SEARCH + g
Calendar SEARCH + l (this is an "L")
Maps SEARCH + m (now you can quickly access you location accurate to 2000 miles ;-)
Music SEARCH + p
Messaging SEARCH + s
YouTube SEARCH + y

You can add/change these here: Settings > Application settings > Quick launch (this isn't present on my Moment, but maybe there's another route?)

I guess they removed the way to change these shortcuts in the settings menu, but you can still change the shortcuts and the menu for changing them still exists.

Using the applications AnyCut or BetterCut, you can get to this settings menu.

You can also use the program "Task Switcher" which includes a shortcut to the settings menu.

Just re-mount the sd card and copy the photos back to it from the PC.
 
From reading a few of your comments here, I decided to buy Open Home... Well see how it goes... I hope it does not slow down the phone too much...

How do i get my ringer (for a notification) to stop once i open up the message? I have a ringer and even after i am done reading the message i cant get the ringer to stop until it is completely over. Can someone help me with this?
 
All of my music is on my mac. Is there anyway to get files from my mac to my phone? I have tried using blue tooth and my phone says that it can't recognize any of the files.
I have also tried downloading a ring tone in MP3 format and my phone told me is doesn't support MP3.
Really?
My phone doesn't seem to support anything.
and yes I am a noob, and not a techie AT ALL, so I appreciate any help I can get.

pulling down the notification bar or even just sliding it up & down gets my ringers to stop when i have a text.

I finally got fed up with it not working & took it into the Sprint store to have them do it. I was phoneless for 2 hours.
But still hasn't fixed my problem. Even after the factory reset, debugging (checked & unchecked), removing the battery, trying different ports, doing practically anything i've read up to do, hasn't worked :confused:

First, to get the Moment to mount on your mac desktop, you have to turn on USB debugging on the phone. (This is the REVERSE of what is true on a windows machine -- there, USB debugging has to be turned off.) To turn on USB debugging, touch Menu, then Settings, then Applications, then Development. USB debugging will be the first item in the list. Make sure the box is checked.

Then, to connect to the Mac, plug your usb cable into the phone and the mac. On the phone, you will see a notice in the notification bar at the top of the screen. Tap to pull down notifications. You should see line that says "USB connected" telling yoiu to select this item in order to copy files to or from your phone. Tap this item. Your phone (actually, your phone's SD card) should then mount and show up on the mac desktop.

From this point you can drag music files from the mac to the phone. But you may find it easier to use a syncing program. One free option is doubleTwist. It does have a mac version and will sync music and playlists -- but I found it to be a bit erratic. I am currently using Missing Sync by MarkSpace -- considerably more expensive. But I had years of experieince with it on my Palm phone and had confidence in the company and it syncs a lot more than just music. There are other options if you do a bit of searching.

The only other caveat is to be sure to dismount the phone from you desktop before unplugging the usb cable. You need to do this on BOTH the phone and the mac. On the mac, drag the phone drive icon to the trash, your use the eject command. On the phone, go to the notification bar, pull it down, and tap to dismount from the mac (and to have the phone remount the sd card.)

Hope this helps get you going.
 
I apologise in advance if this has been covered in a previous post...

I am on the verge of ordering the moment, but want to know if the Cl14 is included in new moments?
 
I just got mine and yes, new moments have version CL14 installed, and apparently is also called cupcake according the the build info on the phone.
 
"cupcake" is the name that google gave to android 1.5. 1.6 is called "donut"; 2.0/2.1 is called "eclair"; and the next release will be called "FroYo" (frozen yogurt); and the release after that will be called "gingerbread". notice that each release is named in alphabetical order.
 
Is there any app that I can download that will confirm when someone has read a text I sent them??? My old verizon phone had a feature that would send me a text when a message had been opened and I was wondering if there was anything available that would be similar for the Moment. I looked on the market but didn't see anything. Thank you!

Then it'll be "ho-ho" "icing" and "jelly" :cool:
 
i tried and tried the asia setting to get yahoo to work and it doesnt do anything except tell me to contact yahoo about upgrading. what am i doing wrong here? i followed the instructions explicitly, but no luck.
 
Question about the battery life on the moment. My boss has this phone and his battery is low after only a couple of hours like 30% he has two battery readers. One he said is the actual one from the phone itself which looked full then he has the app that give the % of battery left or the hrs of batter left and he goes by that. Does the moment have something that drains the battery working in the background. Or does it just have a poor battery to it?
 
ok, i got the gmail pop3 access to work. thanks for the tut. i was missing one thing. the "enabling" step after setting it up as asia.
