I have a new facebook contact I want to link to their number. Their name never shows up in facebook. Tried syncing facebook contacts and still nothing. Myns warm two point two. Thanks in advance.

Swyped from my sexy EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
Let me ask you something, did the other contacts that you had sync just fine? I also want to ask if you know that you might just syncing with YOUR phone contacts, there's an option there to sync all or just sync your phone contacts. If you sync all then it should bring this new facebook contact into your phone app but if you just sync with your phone contacts then whatever you inputed yourself is going to replace the picture and add their email/facebook profile....nothing more, nothing less.

Try this....uninstall your facebook app by either going into your settings/applications and doing it that way or if is installed in your system/app directory then use root explorer and delete the entire app that way. REBOOT....then go into the market, download facebook once again. Now go to settings/accounts & sync and make sure you got your settings to syncing automatically.........NOW, go and open your facebook app and make sure when you log in that you click sync all or whatever is called...don't have my phone next to me so I'm going off of memory here..lol....Now wait a couple of seconds while your phone syncs and your new facebook buddy should be in your phone app.

Hope this has help, if it did then hit the THANKS button if it didn't....at least I tried! GOOD LUCK!!!

I decided to backup my SD card today.

I moved all contents to Computer.

It saved okay.

Then idk what i did, but on my phone, nothing shows up.

nothing at all.

Already deleted everything and put the data from my computer.

Already rebooted more than 5 times.

I went on Root explorer, checked the SD Card and all my data is there, and when i go to music, the music even plays so its not corrupt.

I'm running MIUI, whats going on?

So now I have both units and to my surprise the do not work the same way with the app market.

I am in Puerto Rico and got the 3g from Chicago and the WiFi from Costco here in Puerto Rico.

From the market I notice that some apps do not dowload. The message reads "not available for your carrier" How is this possible, there is no arrier involve with the WiFi?

After setting up the units with the same user account with google,some application will not installin the WiFi.

If I go to the developers web site I an install the application, but why?

Any ideas?
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
If you are trying to install a carrier only app you can not do so if you are not on that carrier.

Example like you said would be Verizon exclusive apps like the NFL one.
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
Are there any noticeable difference in the screens of the wifi and the 3g? I only ask this because I just read a post about how he had a couple xooms where the screens were different. One of them was more vibrant and the colors really popped. I believe I have one of the good screens (if there really is such a thing) but I would appreciate a response.
[Xoom General] kamasi36:
The NBA league pass definitely doesn't work on the WiFi model. it just force closes. I took it back and got the 3G version again. Now it works fine.
[Xoom General] SirLegolas:
Only difference I know of is the back on the WIFI is different, at least feels different to me, also the 3G's back is darker.

Other than that I wouldn't be able to tell if there was a difference without playing with it.

I went for the Xoom Wifi simply because if I ever need internet I'll just use my N1 as a hotspot :)
[Thunderbolt General] XfrostX:
Coming from the nexus one, i noticed that there are now aim and msn messager sync options. Does anyone know if the stand alone instant messaging client uses push or not?
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
I believe the built-in IM client uses SMS, so it should be near instant. Be careful if you don't have unlimited texts on your plan. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] METDeath:
Maybe on the older VZW phones... but why would it use SMS when it should be using data on a smart phone?

Granted, I just use Meebo and never set up those accounts.
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
I can't answer the question as to why, but I'm 99% positive the built-in app uses SMS. Whenever you sign up it shows some sort of message that it will use your SMS.

Actually if you have an unlimited SMS plan, it's not a bad idea. You get near-instant IM notification pretty much anywhere you have a 1X signal, don't have to worry about a background service running and draining extra battery, etc.

I just updated to CM7 RC4 and everything is working great. I simply thought I didn't get any g-mails recently. I found out they aren't being pushed. Is this a common problem or is this something that I can fix?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
May not be a CM thing per se, my gmail hasn't been pushed as frequently either. Verified by using pc browser and sending myself gmail from another account, it was at least a couple minutes before it got to device, was in pc browser in seconds.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I've been using the CM7 nightlies as my "daily driver" for months now. Never had a problem receiving Gmail. Sometimes the phone will let me know there's a new email a few seconds before I see it come into the web interface on my laptop.

The only suggestion I can offer is to make sure that your sync settings are still setup properly. From your home screen: Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync. Make sure Background Data and Auto-Sync are both checked. Then make sure that your Google account shows up below, click on it, and make sure that "Sync Gmail" is checked
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Mine can take up to 30 minutes to push mail, used to be a lot faster. I thought there was a setting for how often GMail checked email but I can't find any. So not sure if it ever existed or if Google removed that option. Also not sure if this is only a CM7 thing or happens with Sense based ROMs too.

edit: this only happens on my linked accounts (hotmail, ISP email, work email). mail sent directly to my gmail account comes in almost as soon as its sent. there is no setting in gmail (web based) that i can find that changes the frequency that it checks the other mail accounts, looks like the default is every 30 minutes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Interval sync settings are generally removed from apps once they achieve true push functionality, since at that point they are moot.

It's odd that we are experiencing such drastically different things. I don't have any idea why mine come in instantaneously while yours take up to 30 minutes. Very strange indeed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I was writing my reply as you were editing so I didn't see this when I hit submit.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
This only recently started happening as all my mail used to be pushed to my phone a a lot faster. The change happened within the last two months so I think Google changed its policies as to how often they querry the other services for mail.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashsi99:
happens from time to time. go into settings, applications, gmail and clear data / cache. this will fix it.

Note : you will have to go into gmail settings after your inbox syncs and set your settings up again (ringtone, vibrate, etc)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TR88:
So right now I'm running CM7 and have been for a couple of weeks, everything was going great but that's when today I rebooted my phone and a message poped up saying my sd card was damaged. I thought it meant my external card which I hadn't had much on so I formated it, little did I know it meant internal and external, so about 10GBs formated later and frustration taken out on my punching bag, I decided to see if the problem would reoccur. As I thought, it would, it happened again, I rebooted my phone and the SD Card Damaged message poped once more asking me to format leaving my sd card useless unless I granted it's wish. So about 3 more reboots later with the problem still happening I came to the conclusion that this was definitely no 2 time only problem and decided I'd question XDA's thoughts on this. I did my research and found a thread in the Captivate forums on it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731452

Seems it may be a lagfix problem.

I'm guessing I should ODIN and see if the problem still occurs before jumping on the gun to call Samsung for a new phone or freaking out any more.

But unfortunately I don't have the time for that as I have classes in the morning, so I'll leave with hope to someone having the answers as to why this has happening, what can I do, and will this ever happen again.

Also I can no longer access the external sd card.

I tried to get rid of adw launcher because i wanted adw ex. However, now I can't completely get rid of adw, and adw ex won't install! (I'm not sure whether thats because I had no signal when it tried to authorize payment or if it is because adw is still here).

Basically now, I pushed "refund" and then rebought adw ex, but it STILL won't install. It just says "purchased" on the button, but thats it, when i click to install it won't do it.

What do i do here?
[General Topics] Dirk:
It's hard to say as i don't know what action you took to remove ADW in the first place, but...i would start by suggesting a factory reset to return the ROM to an untarnished state. Then try installing EX and see if it works.

[G2 and Desire Z General] veritasaequita:
I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.

we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi

[HTC Inspire 4G] bdws1975:
hi all,

Ok, I'm new to this stuff.

1. used the simple root and it worked great.

2. I then flashed CM7 and it worked great except market was not on it.

3. I downloaded and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip by mistake, not realizing I had to use another gapps.

4. After I flashed it, the cm7 and android setup screens kept cycling between each other.

5. I restored to clockworkmod (sp) and then deleted the gapps and tried to then flash cm7. It didn't cycle between cm7 and android setup, but the cm7 screens kept cycling and never got past that.

6. I thought perhaps it was just cm7 now, so I tried miui and it's doing the same thing. It's cycling between the gingerbread man and MIUI with the status bar and won't do anything else.

Very frustrated. what have I done and how do I fix it?

Thanks folks,

Brett
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
I believe that those ROMs both require ENG S-OFF. Open simple root on your computer, click Fixes, then apply the fix there. Also, did you make sure you cleared your Dalvik cache before flashing? Always do a factory reset AND clear dalvik cache when changing ROMs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ardynine:
make sure you have wifi off in your first boot
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
From reading the first post, he got in, rebooted to flash gapps and ended up in bootloop afterwards

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
what method do you use to flash cm7? what exactly do you do.

to clarify what is your exact process for flashing the rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdws1975:
Hi. Thanks.

I use rom manager to boot to recovery. Then I install zip from sd card. I go through the process until it says reboot. It's when I reboot that I get stuck in the bootloop. It just cycles from the CM7 circular arrow to blank and then to the arrow thing again. MIUI does the same between the gingerbread guy and the status bar and back.

I then take the battery out, take out the sdcard, down volume & power, reinsert sdcard and do a restore so I can use my phone again in clockworkmod 3.0.0.6.

thanks,

brett
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
sounds like your forgetting to do a full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik..
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdws1975:
actually, I did that.

it's weird. I restored a few times, did the above you suggested, and still in a loop. The first time I installed CM7 it was great, then the gapps thing seems to have screwed it up.

I'm lost.

brett
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
Probably a silly question but you're doing full reinstalls, right? Not using a nandroid backup? I can't think of any reason that you should be boot looping permanently from flashing the gapps if you're going into clockwork, doing a factory reset, wiping the cache, then wiping the Dalvik cache, then flashing the ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdws1975:
hmm. I'm a little new to this, but I'm using the backup/restore option in recovery mode and am then flashing one of the backups. Could that be the problem?

If it is, how do I do a full reinstall?

thanks again for your help,

brett
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Without a full wipe I thought it would just bootloop?

Do a full wipe then reinstall cm7 and gapps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
That's your problem right there. If you make a backup of a busted ROM, its still going to be busted when you restore it.

Do the factory reset, then clear the cache again just to make sure, go to advanced and clear Dalvik, then go to the main menu and use the choose install zip from sdcard option, then choose "choose zip from sdcard", find the ROM zip file and select it, then say yes to the flash and reboot when its done. If you are flashing CM7, make sure that you flash the correct gapps package after you flash the ROM or the ROM won't be very useful.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdws1975:
I'll give it a shot and then get back to you.

I do believe, however, that the restore I'm doing is the backup I did right before I did the original cm7 flash. I'll try.

thanks!
