Kin two intial setup

When I turn on my phone and it says "set up your Kin account" I enter my windows live ID and hit next but I always get a connectio problem, "Cant reach the Windows Live ID service right now" I've been trying for a while and if I cancel setup, and move on none of the features that need to open in browser such as get more feeds, change wallpaper, anything all says page cant be displayed. Although if I just go to my browers and go to facebook or check my email it's fine. I need help please!

Courtney,
Are you certain your phone is twom? I have discovered that mine was mislabeled and is the original two so it has the older OS on it. I believe it is trying to use the now dis-functional KIN crap to login initially, hence the failure. The easy way to tell is whether there is a green spot at the bottom of your screen after you reject the setup and get to the sample menu. You could also look under the battery at the serial numbers... I think there should be an M somewhere? (My old ONEM had an M).

CONNECTION PROBLEM:
"Can't reach the Windows Live ID service right now. If you cancel setup, you'll have limited use of your phone. Setup will continue the next time you turn on your phone."

Hello!
I'm sorry that you are having problems connecting. We need to get this fixed! Are you connected to WiFi when this happens? I would recommend trying a master reset.
MasterReset
Tap Settings
Tap About Your phone
Tap Erase Phone Data
Tap to erase all your personal data from the phone. This is a drastic measure as it erases all your sign-in information, settings, contacts, favorites, photos, videos, music, and
messages from your phone. You will be asked to confirm.
Let us know if that helps!

Kin Two to Twom?

I recently bought a Kin Two off of amazon under the impression it was a kin twom. I don't consider it that big of a deal but is there any way to switch to kin twom software? Also, when i try to set up my phone using an email address it displays an error about not being able to connect to windows live ID service. Any way to remedy this?

Hello Sepukk75, I want to make sure that the device is setup the way you need it to be! There is not a way to change the software to make the system recognize the phone as the Kin TwoM. Have you already activated the phone on your account? Were you provided with options to add a data plan? Are you setting up a new Windows Live ID or trying to log in with an existing account? I am eager to hear back from you to confirm your device is up and running properly.
Thank You,

If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
The music must be on your computer.

Kin two...piece of JUNK!!!

My husband upgraded a little over a year ago to the kintwo and we've had nothing but problems ever since!!! It constantly freezes and if it does freeze while recieving a text or a call that message is lost! The camera is great when it works. Because of these problems I gave my husband my upgrade because he uses his phone a lot for work and needs something thats reliable and I took this phone because mine was old and getting warn out now i can make and recieve calls but no one can hear me the battery will only charge to 10% and its very slow!! Because my husband used my upgrade I'm out a phone and we still have to pay the bill I have an old alltel phone that I tried to hook up but now verizon won't connect those phones!!! And of course I can't even upgrade on my husbands line because its only been maybe a year and 4 months so we aren't due for an upgrade for at least 6 months!! What am I supposed to do Verizon....pay my bill even though I don't even get to use my phone? We've been with verizon for years and now your just going to screw us?....NICE!! Anyone looking to get a kin DON'T!! They are such a piece of crap they won't even last you til your next upgrade!!!!!!

Hi, melam!
I apologize to learn of the concerns you are having with the Kin Two! I would be happy address the concerns regarding freezing with calls and messaging. Does this happen on each call and text, or specific contacts? Have you performed any resets on the device or reverted the phone back to factory settings? We do have options available to you, if you wish to get another device, but are not yet eligible to upgrade. Check out http://goo.gl/K0zsd for more details. Keep me posted.
Thanks,

Kin two m- PLEASE REPLY WITH HELP IMMEDIATLEY!

I downloaded the Zune software on my computer for the KIN two phone. I downloaded and am using the free 14 day trial. I plugged my phone in with the USB cable, and dowloaded some music. Then i unplugged it, and all the pictures from my cell phone are on thE COMPUTER! and now all the pics on my phone are gone. I tried to download them back on to my phone, but it wont work. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a third theory concerning your difficulty with transferring pictures [back] onto your phone.
I observed a behavior about the Zune software and the Kin that I found a little exasperating.
I wanted to transfer some video clips through the Zune software to the Kin. As you can see in the photo provided by fisharefriends in the post dated "01-13-2011 11:39 PM" in this thread (link), in the lower-left corner of the screen [while using the Zune software] there is an icon of the phone. During this time, the screen of the Kin says that it is connected to the Zune and that to disconnect it from the Zune that you should swipe your finger.
After I had transferred a few videos, I wanted to evaluate right away their playback on the Kin and then resume transferring videos through the Zune to the Kin.
After I swiped the Kin's screen, I could use the phone in a normal manner. Since the Zune software was still running and since the Kin was still connected via USB cable, I was ready to transfer some more videos. But the icon of the phone was no longer in the lower-left corner of the screen of the Zune software -- therefore, the connection between the Zune and the Kin appeared to be severed. After attempting this and that, finally the only way I could think of to restore the connection was to unplug the USB cable and re-plug it. Voila! The connection was re-established.
But this was a pain-in-the-neck way to do things. So here's what I found out I could do if I wanted to temporarily sever the connection so that I could temporarily use the Kin in a normal manner ...
- don't swipe the Kin screen to sever the connection; instead, close the Zune application but leave the USB cable plugged in
- now you'll be able to use the Kin in a normal manner [such as to evaluate the files that you hope were successfully transferred]
- when you're ready to re-establish the connection between the Zune and the Kin, re-launch the Zune software. It'll detect that there's a Kin [still] plugged in via USB cable, and the icon of the Kin will be in the lower-left corner of the screen of the Zune software.
So that's a long way of saying that during your attempt to transfer photos, even though the Zune software is presently running on your computer and even though the Kin is plugged in that maybe what the problem is is that the connection has been severed and you will need to unplug the usb cable for a few seconds and then plug it back in to re-establish the connection.

Is there a spot for a phone charm on kin two?

I looked at 360 pictures and everything and still can't tell if it has a spot for a cell phone charm. please help! i know that kin one has a spot for it, but i don't know about kin two. i really hope it does! i asked this question everywhere and they haven't answered yet. again, please help!!

I have found a spot that looks like you could be able to but when they designed the back cover of the phone they forgot about it. When you take the back off your phone there will be a spot on the cover that is shaped like a "T" and that is where you would drill if you wanted to. you could possibly take a drill or some thing to the back cover and make it work. But I decided to leave it alone on my phone because I have a case and I don't want to mess my my case. I hoped this helped.

HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

New Kin two won't sync to my computer?

My computer recognizes my Kin two phone but it asks for installation hardware which didn't come with the phone. It then says it was unable to install the new hardware. In which case, Active sync won't recognize my phone. Anyone else have any problems syncing their phone?

Yes! It's kind of weird. The phone seems only to sync with ZUNE. If you go to MY COMPUTER even when it's synced to Zune you will not see the phone. As far as I can see you have to sync videos, music, photos and podcasts via Zune. At least Zune is free! And it works pretty well compared to Media Player.

Kin Two Battery Life

Just wondering if this is normal. I just got the Kin two and have to charge it every night. I just text and talk. I have not even used the camera within the past day or the video/ wi fi- nothing. The battery takes 4 hours to charge. Is that normal? should i turn my phone off to charge it? or can i leave it on ?

My battery usually lasts about 2 days with heavy use and wifi on all the time. If I keep it off and don't do much talking and maybe a few text messages then about 3 1/2. With wifi on at home and and heavy web use, then about 2 3/4 days.
As for battery charging, I'm not sure how long. I just charge it over night or plug it in in the morning and let it charge. I haven't really paid much attention to how long it charges.
Though I was told by Verizon (though how reliable they have been with knowledge recently, I'm not sure how good this information is.) that you can charge it every day even if it doesn't need to charge or if you need it before it's done charging that it won't hurt the battery. Apparently batteries these days don't carry a memory anymore so you don't have to charge them for 24 hours when you get it, you can charge it or use it until the battery dies etc.
If you think something is up with your battery take it into Verizon and they can check the battery. The one good thing they are good for is if your battery is bad or even if you think your battery is bad, they will give you a new one. Heck when I had the Intensity II and had bad battery they were ready to give me a new phone all together not just a new battery. So go in and they can check it out for you.

W510 - Two HDDs - Two Windows Setup

Hi all,
I have purchased a hdd caddy from ebay, which works fine and a second SSD (which will arrive this week) for my W510. My intention is to have a second Windows 7 installed on the second drive purely for work purposes, so that the primary HDD will remain only for personal stuff.
My questoin is - can I (and how) use the Recovery DVDs that I've created from the second partition that came with the laptop to restore to factory state Windows and Lenovo software on the second HDD. Will booting from an external DVD drive work and will it let me select the second HDD as the restore target? Alternatively if that doesn't work can I swap the primary hdd with the second one, restore and then swap them again? Will that screw up the windows installation when booting from a different hdd "slot"? Which do you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

To answer my own questions.
Factory Restoring a second HDD in the UltraBay using the Recovery DVDs doesn't work because it doesn't allow you to select a drive and only refers to the "system drive" - which is 99.9% the primary drive.
Swapping the primary HDD with the secondary, using the recovery disks and then swapping again works fine - there are no issues in Windows whatsoever.
Also a tip - once you have the two HDDs setup with two Windows copies you can switch between them using the BIOS boot menu using F12 key at boot, which should allow for Hibernation to work fine for both at the same time

Is there any way to retrieve deleted texts messages from KIN TWO M?

is there any way to retrieve deleted texts messages on KIN TWO M?

Unfortunately, no, not unless you had them backed up somewhere (like with bitpim software). Once the texts are deleted from the phone, they're gone.

Two speaker setup, Audio is strange please he

It appears that my speaker setup has some how gotten corrupted, as my bass only shoots out of one speaker and the audio for both the left and right channel only kicks out of the other speaker. Seeing as my speaker setup up is only a two speaker setup I would like the bass and audio to be coming out of both speakers as it was originally. I've checked and my speaker setup is set to two stereo desktop speakers so I don't know what I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. My cpu is running a Sound Blaster Li've card.

That said, the laptop speakers are playing stereo.
Hello. that would suggest that the integrated audio system is working okay and that the problem is in the jack or external device. There is no processing that I know of that would send 2 channels to the speakers but combine them into one channel into the jack.
If you want to replace the jack you would replace this I/O circuit board.
For a workaround there are many inexpensive usb audio jacks available.
If you want to test some more, switch to the Windows native audio driver.
1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "IDT High Definition Audio Codec".
3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio" (the native driver).
8. Click "Next".
9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
[To get back to the IDT driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1 and 6.]
If it doesn't work with the native driver then it is pretty surely hardware failure.
nycron
Also, the balance feature in settings is working and allows me to selectively control the volume of the two external speakers.Which suggests it's how sound files is being processed rather than the output jack itself.
If you still feel that it is a software issue could perform a system recovery. Doing so will fix the issue unless it is due to hardware failure.

Speeding up turn-on of KIN two-M

Does anyone know how to delete all the teenage photos that come on when you turn on the Kin Two-m? It just takes too long for the thing to boot up ... and I'm not 13, so the silliness of the photo array is, well, silly......

I was also hoping there was a way to get rid of all those goofy photos when powering up or down. Who are these people anyway???

Kin one or kin two can't decide?

Hi
I am getting the kin one or two phone
but I can't decide which one to get.
I been watching reviews on both of them
I think I want the kin two but with the kin two do u need a zune pass
can you use itunes instead or get music from itunes onto the phone?
That's my major problem
Thanks

With either phone you do not need the zune pass subscription, however, you will need to download the zune software(free) on your computer and transfer your songs from itunes to zune, and then, to your KIN. As for which one to choose, I love the design of the kin onem, but the features on the kin twom are a little more high end so I personally chose the two. It has an 8 mp camera versus 5, records hd video, and has stereo sound. Also, it can store 8 gb of info versus the 4 the one can. Other than these differences, the phones are the same.
