I purchased Lexisgoo dictionary and can't, for the life of me, find the e-mail that had my registration number. I do have backups, however, that contain it in it's registered form. Is there anything I can copy from the backup that will enable it on my newly formated system?
If you write to the company from the same email address they'll probably send you over a replacement serial. I remember they were very nice to me back in the day.
Otherwise, just try searching the registry of the backup for the serial, normally in the Local Machine or Current User > Software section.

Thanks, I'll give them both a shot. I've been popping back and forth between the backup of my old install and a backup of my new install. I managed to find a handful of registry keys associated with lexisgoo, but restoring them to the new install only expired my 14 day trial ;-) I'll keep trying
BTW, I was quite flattered to think that I got a reply from THE vijay... you're quite the legend around here ;-) Thanks

No such luck... It's really strange, because I have all of my confirmation e-mails from all of my previous pocket pc purchases, but can't find this one anywhere. Maybe if I e-mail them they can tell me which registry entries I need to save... thanks for all the help guys, I'll keep you posted.
The folks at ppclink have been great and were able to forward me registration info. Even though I was dumb and lost my info they were more than happy to help. You can certainly add them to the list of people I will buy from again.

hello,
i've probably spent more than an hour now searching for the answer to my question:
is it possible to directly send a photo via email with my i780? if i press the send button in the camera app it automatically creates an mms, which is not what i want.
if this is not possible with the builtin app, is there any other way?
i'm really disappointed, even my 2+ year old nokia phone could do this out of the box...
thank you!
silly question i know... but you have setup an email account on your phone yes?
yes i did
i'm pretty sure it's the samsung camera app which is causing this. i spent my morning reading the msdn library and have since put together a quick and dirty solution... although i still can't believe that this can't be done with the standard application.
create new email, add your photo as an attachment. (or you can just send the "mms" to the email address)
sending mms to e-mail addresses is 30cents each here, so this is not an option
and of course i can just add my picture as an attachment after: closing the camera, going through the start menu to open messaging, create a new e-mail, select the right picture after selecting the right folder, add text. but this will take a(t least a) minute and is not what i wanted
directly mailing pics should be a standard feature on every phone with a camera...
anyway, if anyone is interested in what i wrote, i'd be glad to give out the source code (there's much room for improvement) on request.
Hi bocki! Can you please tell me how to do your quick and dirty solution. I have the same problem and I want to send a photo taken staright from the camera application. Thanks for letting me know how this works! Can you maybe even post it here? Thank you very much!!!
hey,
i attached the binary i'm currently using to this post. it needs the .net compact framework 3.5 (because i suck at everything else than c# and has currently no error handling at all, so if your device is not supported (which unfortunately i can't try out, it worked on my i780 and on the device emulator, so i guess that's a good sign!) you might even have to softreset...(but probably the app will just crash and nothing else will happen)
on first use, you will have to select the right e-mail account - it gets saved when you close the app and will be chosen automatically on subsequent starts.
if you have any problems, please let me know (it's best if you drop me a pm), i might be able to help!
[edit]new version on the next page, you'll probably want to get the newer one.[/edit]
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!!
Any way I can change the size of the picture I am sending? I believe I can only choose 640. I would love to send a different size, too.
Also: The pictures gets saved into "Eigene Bilder". Anyway I can change the folder name in the registry?
Excellent work!!!! Thank you so much!
hey
glad my program is of use to others as well...
the "eigene bilder" destination is due to me hardcoding the german path, i will think of a better solution
the same goes for the resolution, as i said, this was quick and dirty (and by dirty i mean really really really ugly. ) - but i will fix this.
if you have any knowledge of c#, you may be able to fix this yourself, let me know if you need the sourcecode
i will address these issues as soon as possible and keep you posted!
skipping university in favour of coding was a good idea!
i implemented very basic error handling - if your camera is not supported, you will now get a very generic and vague error message
the same goes for invalid resolutions and folders, which can now be configured after the first start. (the first start will reset the path to \my documents\my pictures and the resolution to 640x480) sorry, no fancy dialogs, you'll have to enter the full path yourself (but you only have to do this once, so i hope this is okay).
any problems or other feature requests? let me know, i'm currently in the right mood
Hi Bocki! Thanks for looking at these issues. I am not too worried about the any of them, the folder is fine with me. But resolution would be very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot program it myself. :-( Thanks again for sharing!
please see the post directly above yours and try out the new version
Oops! I must have missed that, sorry! Great application, Thank you! I found out that if I put in 800*600, the camera starts with 1600 and I can choose my desired resolution. If I put in 1024*768 I don't get a choice. Would be great if one could also determine fine, normal etc...
Dont miss too much Uni, hehe.
Are you currently in Germany?
Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!
Rob
HTC Incredible
Virtuous Rom 2.7
So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

I use gTalk and it works.
Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.
Sorry, as you can see, its my first post and i dont exactly know where to put, but i want to share,because i spend hours of searching the net and my device.
I had the problem, that i forgot the password for the googlemail-account linked to the market and found no solution to change it. So i searched a little bit and found a fast solution which was working for me.
So i just took the /data/system/accounts.db file, opened it by using SQLite Database Browser and changed the address to the new one and deleted the stored password. After reboot and accessing the market, i was asked for the password, entered the new one and voila, all was fine.
Sorry, if its the wrong forum.
btw, my device is a rooted desire, with "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed" ROM
Interesting!
Is it also possible to change a google account without resetting whole device?
Yes it is possible.
It was my aim to change it without resetting the device and this is the solution. No need to reset anything.

download the free Super Manager from the market, give it root , keep moving up folders to root, go to /data/system/ and just delete accounts.db it is quicker to just reenter the account info , by the time you go through all the steps to edit that file and the know what to change your finished entering the account info, I just had to do this I put my wifes account on my phone, tried everyway to remove her which a search landed me here, I downloaded Sq but just to much to do so I found super manager while searching the market for help
Thanks for the hint! Deleting the accounts.db worked very well for me.
Great share, thank you!
Another aspect is the mail associated with a purchase. Currently I can change the email for my vendor account, but it isn't possible to shift the purchase profile to another email account as far as I know.
If anybody got an idea/solution to that, it would be more than appreciated.
guys,
I need help, I read above method of reset market logon, so I deleted account.db with rootexplorer. Then I start market again, it ask me signon. This is working, remove my wife logon information.
Then I put in detail id and password, but I am getting network error, my phone on 3G network, my browser able to visit any web page. But the market apps just not connecting. What did I do want ?
thanks

Hey folks! I just wanted to point everyone to my free, open-source app, GMarks.
Features
Sync your browser bookmarks with a GMarks label
Live folders for any label
Integrated global search
Create GMarks quickly from the browser's "share" menu
Free and open-source!
Check out some screenshots.
GMarks is available on the Android Market, and also as an APK download from the project website. Please try it out, and leave feedback!
Excellent, but I will wait until the 2-step authentication, because I can't log in with out it.
Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know Alex -- I've had a couple people mention it now so now that I know how popular this feature is I'll work more quickly to get it released! Here's the issue page so you can track the progress:
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-android/issues/detail?id=31
I'll probably release a test build too so users like you can test it before it's published to the Market. Thanks again for the feedback!
Sure, Tom, go ahead and drop a test build here as soon as you can, thanks!
I love this type of apps . Open source and free even tough is works better than many paid-for apps!

I had the issuse with 2-step verification too. But if you check the above-mentioned link about the issue, you'll see someone mentioned a workaround you can use until it has been fixed in the program itself.
Good to see the issue being responded to so quickly btw .
But what I came here for:
I was happy to read about interaction with my phone's browser, except it doesn't work for me. I enabled it in the settings, I pointed it towards a label, I synced it, but no bookmarks turn up in my phone's browser (I am using the Google Android browser), and no new bookmarks are added to the existing Google Bookmarks label either.
Using:
- Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1)
- GMarks 0.6.3
Logging in succeeded (using the above workaround), I get to see the labels and bookmarks in the app, it's only the interaction with the browser's bookmarks that does not seem to work for me.
Let me know if there is more information you need.
Edit:
I'm Dutch, and willing to help when any additional Dutch translation is needed.
Oh, I see. Maybe enable application specific password would also be great.
Two-factor auth support
Hey folks: I've enabled two-factor auth support in the latest build here:

After replacing the older version with this updated one, I saw I was stilled logged in (I used the workaround). I stopped the app and removed it's data (via the Settings->Manage Applications thing), and started it again to log in properly using the 2-step verification. The login worked as expected*. But my bookmarks are not syncing. The message tells me it's syncing, a message tells me it has finished syncing after only a second or two (back when it actually did sync, the first full sync took much longer than that), but no bookmarks show up in GMarks.
On a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1).
Let me know if you need any further information.
*Except for a minor detail:
When I enter the username and password for my account, I press Sign in, and I arrive at the Verify page, as expected. Now I press my Home button to go to Google's app that provides the verify code. When getting back to GMarks, it's back at the login screen, with empty username and password fields. So I have to repeat the first step of the two-step verification. Not very critical, but a little bit annoying, so it would be nice if there's an easy fix for this .

Yeah that's tricky. I'll have to see if I can detect that a password has already been typed, and attempt to restore that verification code page if it's already been loaded.
You might be able to switch between apps without the GMarks login page reloading by using the "Hold home button" to switch between apps without going to the launcher in between.
Either way, this is an issue that clearly I need to keep working on. Thanks again for your patience and feedback!
Any response to my other issues I wrote about in the above posts?
1) Nothing syncing between GMarks and my browser. (Post #5)
2) Newer version: nothing syncing. At all. (Post #8)

Hi jjwa,
Thanks for working with me to resolve this. I've attached another APK for you to try. After installing, go to Application Management-> GMarks -> Clear Data and give it another try.
If that doesn't work, do you have the SDK tools installed? I can't reproduce this problem so I'd have to rely on getting debug information from you via the "adb logcat" tool.
I apologize for the trouble, and appreciate you're helping me make GMarks better!
Thanks again. Let me know how the new APK goes or if you need instructions on how to use logcat.

The APK did not produce a different result compared to the previous one as far as I could see.
I currently don't have a working USB cable, so I tried out apps for the adb logcat thing. I have used adb before, but I have no experience logcat, so if you need it done with differently settings (I was now logging at the 'Error' filter level btw). I've sent a log to your gmail adress instead of posting it here, because I wasn't sure there was no information in there I would not want to have up in public...
For recording the logs, I repeated the Clear Data steps, started the log apps, logged in on GMarks, let it attempt it's sync, and then told the apps to email their logs.
Let me know if this is sufficient or if you need me to do it differently or do something else.
P.S. Random curiosity: the log is getting spammed massively with 'WPA supplicant' messages. I know that's related to my WiFi. Any idea why it's going so crazy? Should it? Is it just the security protocal chitchat?
Which passwords should I insert? Can I insert the Application specific one? I'm not comfortable inserting my password just to use the credentials, now that we have specific passwords...

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately you have to use your own, normal password (followed by a verification code if you've enabled two-factor auth.) One-time use passwords unfortunately don't work here - they only work for AuthSub enabled services and the Bookmarks service (as far as I know) doesn't support AuthSub. I tried to use a one-time password myself and the login page rejects it and says as much.
The reason GMarks for Android directs the user to the Google login webpage is exactly because I expect users would (or *should*) be wary of inputting their username and password directly into an Android app. (Lots of apps still seem to do this anyway...) Because you are logging in through the webpage, the GMarks app never sees your username or password.
If it makes you feel any better, if you have two-factor auth enabled, any app that _did_ capture your username and password wouldn't be able to log in without the additional verification code. And the verification codes only work once so that code can't be 'stolen' and used to log into your account from somewhere else.
Sorry! I think this is the best anyone can do until Google releases a real Bookmarks API...
Two-factor auth support
Hi folks -- here's a new 0.6.4 build with two-factor auth support.
Entering in the verification code is still a bit of a pain in the ass, but I think it's the best that can be done. Once you enter your username & password in GMarks you get directed to the verification page, at which point you have to switch to the Google Authenticator app.
You can do this quickly if you open the Authenticator app first and then long-press the home button to switch between the two activities. You can also copy the verification code from the Authenticator app by long-pressing on the number. Then you can paste it into the browser textbox in GMarks.
This build also includes the ability to fully re-sync with the server, which will resolve any sync problems and remove stale bookmarks that might have been left on your device if you've deleted bookmarks via the web interface. It's the last item when you go to Menu->Settings. Since this re-downloads *all* of your bookmarks it should be something that is not done often, hence the reason why it's a bit 'hidden away.'
Tom,
thanks for your detailed and excellent answer. I'll try this latest build and come back with results.
[Edited] Seems to be working very well for me. The only comment would be the same as previously stated: when validating the code, you need to leave the application to go to Google authenticator, when you come back, you need to re-enter user and password...
Thanks!

Alex! You'll be happy to hear I realized there's a much more elegant way to make this work -- I can launch the Authenticator activity straight from GMarks (if you have it installed.) So you can copy the code and just hit 'back' to get back to enter it into the verification page.
Try out the attached build. I think it's a big improvement over the prior solution.
Hi,
Is the version on the market not the latest? I've the market version that says 0.6.4, but 2-factor authentication behave the same as before.

Ooh, that's creepy. I've staged an update but not published it yet. Odd that the Market is now showing the description for 0.6.4 even thought the admin console clearly shows that the last published version is 0.6.3.
You didn't get a Market update, did you?
I plan to publish 0.6.4 soon! I was hoping to get some feedback from the build that I attached in my last post to see if everything looked like it was working correctly first.
If you haven't seen it yet, 0.6.4 is _actually_ released now. I've had some feedback already that two-factor auth is working smoothly now (in addition to my own testing) so you should be good to go! http://goo.gl/AbeDh
