i think he needs to wipe the contacts data...

Goto: Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Contacts/Clear Data..

As long as you have them synced with google you shouldnt have to worry about if they get deleted...

Edit:

Just saw how to replicate it, and yes it does fc, a simple way to avoid this is too not click sounds and click ringtones instead...

So it is a case of "Doctor it hurts when I do this" Doc says "Don't do that"
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
exactly and maybe it does have something to do with removing myfiles?

Who knows but i dont care, as i can use the ringtone option.... :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
It doesnt have to do with the sound files it has to do with the option sounds in contact custom ringtone, it force closes, like i said if u dont push it and push ringtones instead u are set for what ever files u please..

Hello, I just got a Cricket Motorola Droid, how can I flash it back to Verizon? Do I do it using an .sbf or can I do it using ROM Manager? Thank you in advance.
[7 Mozart General] andrew-in-woking:
Hi all

I have seen that HTC have just released an app for their phones called "Hidden Wi-Fi" which allows users to connect their HTC WP7 devices to Hidden Wi-Fi networks. It seems that you need a 1.30 ROM installed or have received the HTC Update for the software to work.

The app can be found in the marketplace on the phone.

Cheers

[7 Mozart General] balog:
Works a treat. Thanks for the post andrew.

[7 Mozart General] Kranked90:
Great. Thanks for the post.

Now my Wi-Fi is hidden again and I can access. perfect. ;-)
[7 Mozart General] andoridkiller:
I cant find it on the htc hub or marketplace. Latest firmeware and unbranded.
[7 Mozart General] kdskamal:
It is not there in the HTC Hub. Just search for "hidden wifi" in the marketplace.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
Hi, can any one describe a little more that what this application is for.

I installed it on my Orange branded (updated) Mozart and added my home wi-fi name in it. Now what to do ....

cheers....
[7 Mozart General] andrew-in-woking:
It's for connecting to hidden Wi-Fi networks

Hi ZeeShh

Most Wi-Fi networks broadcast their "SSID" which is the name of the network. However, it is possible to set up a Wi-Fi network which does not broadcast its SSID. These networks won't show up on a computer or phone which is searching for Wi-Fi networks.

In Windows and most PC Wi-Fi proprietory software you can manually enter the details of a hidden network in order to connect to it. This feature was not included in Windows Phone 7 however, hence HTC producing their own App to add this functionality.

So, the app is only really useful if you want to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network.

Cheers

[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
Thanks Andrew for the details. cheers...
[7 Mozart General] andoridkiller:
i got the app but says i need to updte firmware im using nodo, jailbreak. help please. Tried to connect with xume but it says i have latest firmeware. I did push nodo?
[7 Mozart General] andrew-in-woking:
1.30 ROM

Hi andoridkiller

Which device do you have? You need a 1.30 version ROM on your device. They are available in the Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development forum. You will need to update to nodo again after the ROM flash.

Alternatively you can wait until your device gets an update from HTC.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[7 Mozart General] andoridkiller:
Thanks mate, I used the de branding tutorial on here to de brand the phone so I think i did flash my phone with 1.30 ROM then it re updated using zune. Ill wait hopefully get it. Thanks
[7 Mozart General] mikemikeson:
is it possible, that it's just available via the US marketplace ?

[edit]

for the germans of us :-) "verst. wlan" is the search term you have to look for :-)
[7 Mozart General] R3PUBL1K:
Hiding the SSID has been proven to offer no really security benefit anyway - so although the APP may be useful...overall it is better not to hid the SSID broadcast in the first place :-)
[7 Mozart General] darkwaxer:

I've used the new CM7 stable for 1 day, everything's fine except I can't use the A2SD+, after I flash the rom & gapps, the internal memory is 11x MB free/ 148 MB total.

This is my first time flashing a mod rom, so maybe I did sth wrong when I flash it, plz help me to check the procedure, thx

My phone is: SHIP PVT1 S-OFF(by alpharev)

HBOOT 0.93.0001

1, I root my phone with Unrevoked 3.32 from unrevoked.com

2, S-OFF with Alpharev 1.8 from alpharev.nl (burning a bootable CD)

3, Before flash the rom, I partitoned the sdcard (Kingston 8GB) with sd-ext 1024 MB, swap 0 MB, then wipe all things I can with the recovery that Unrevoked gave to me, and factory reset, then flash the rom by select .zip file from sdcard

4, Boot into CM7 then turn off, and boot again to flash the gapps

that's what I did, but after all, my internal memory still decrease when I install any programs, and the sd-ext directory is empty when I check it by Root Explorer

Are there something wrong?

BIG THANKS!
[Desire General] Meaple:
Use s2e app in market. Enjoy.

[Desire General] wind4s:
I heard that if the SD card has ext partition, the A2SD+ will automatically enable after flashing CM7. Should I have to install a program to enable it? or is there some setting I should do in the CM setting? thx :)
[Desire General] _BaTTi_:
As far as I know, CM is no longer officially supporting apps2sd on ext partition (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Apps2SD).

I'm using CM7 with Darktremor apps2sd - woks just fine :)

[Desire General] aeoveu:
Simple2EXT is on the Android market. That works.

But once you enable the options, you have to restart and wait a while for the things to move around here and there. After doing so, your phone will function normally.

I haven't used any other scripts because this did the trick for me. Just make sure you have an adequately-sized EXT partition.
[Desire General] wind4s:
THX, I got it work well
[Desire General] wind4s:
THX, I wonder why they disable the support of app2ext in CM7, it's such a nice function to save the internal mamory..

the Darktremor installation seems a little bit complicated, I'll try it later, now I'm using S2E and it's easy to setup :P

gingerbread android 2.3.3 has internet calling feature in built but sipdroid could be alternative

+

google voice account means if you have gmail account u can get local usa number from google.com/voice

+

sipgate gives free local number too but it will not allow u to call so to make out going calls u ll need google voice too = free incoming and outgoing calls

call forwarding

put sipgate number to google voice main call forwarding number ---> then login to sipgate account and get SIP Credentials and fill this info in your android phone ( for android 2.3.3 go to call settings then in last u ll see internet calling option dont forget to select receive calls option turned on or u can setup with sipdroid)

--->download google voice callback from market configure it with your google voice account ..

one more thing left is .....

go to settings --> call settings --> turn on Third-party phone options --> now when u click on call button to call ... google voice callback app will bring up two options ---> select callback option ---> now u ll receive call using your sipgate account which is free bcs its your internet call ...

u can use sipdroid too .. n using that u can make free calls over 3G too ...

now give people your google voice number to receive calls ... and to make outgoing call use callback tool for google voice .. so by that u can make free calls...

enjoy free calling ....

make sure u have your wifi connected or use sipdroid to make free calls over 3G

Thank You
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xope_Poquar:
Sounds like a good alternative to UMA (or lack thereof). Only thing I'd be worried about is all the extra menus people calling you have to go through. Or am I wrong about that? Whenever I was using Google Voice people had to say their name to a computer before it would forward the call to my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scariola:
The great thing about google voice is that you can configure if that menu is presented to your callers or not. It is a setting, call screening I believe, allows Do Not Disturb, blocking numbers unknown or blocked and so many other features.

It replaced my texting plan and saves me money, but I will look into this post for sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krunalkp:
yes u r right its call screening feature ... using this info above u can make or receive calls even with no network (only wifi needed ) i am using this setup from more than a month ... n its working gr8 ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bertoloco:
Thanks for the great info.

I'm trying to set it up now, but I am having trouble with sip gate. Are you sure it gives you free incoming calls? I have not put any money into the account, and when I try to call it it just hangs up. Did you have to put any money into the account? How did you set it up to receive free calls?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krunalkp:
no u dont need to put any money in it .. u just need to do one more extra setting .. i forgot to mention in thread ... go to settings --> call settings --> turn on Third-party phone options --> now when u click on call button to call ... google voice callback app will bring up two options ---> select callback option ---> now u ll receive call using your sipgate account which is free bcs its your internet call ... ;)

Maybe change the channel for your Wi-Fi?
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
I can use *#*#4636#*#* and I read somewhere that it can help with battery life if I set a certain antenna from there? I forgot where I read it though, if someone can please let me know that would be great. There are NO rogue apps running, I only have about 10 installed.

The phone is 4 days old, so it could be why but I've battery cycled it twice already (letting it run dead and recharging it for 10 hours). All my widgets are off except weather and that is set to update every 3 hours and it is NOT using GPS. Wifi is off, so is bluetooth. Gps is off as well.

Is anyone using maximum power saver or just the regular nighttime setting for those reporting better battery life? I also uninstalled launcher pro, it seemed to glitch my phone a lot with the google toolbar and also seemed to have a slightly bigger toll on my battery. Also battery health is stating "Good". Is that the best or does it still need more conditioning?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
You probably shouldn't change things in there. Look elsewhere to conserve battery.

You didn't note what your battery life is like either. But you should still let the battery charge and drain a few more times before trying to squeak out more battery life by modifying something like this....
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Well I'll give you an example. The phone was unplugged almost 6 hours yesterday, and I used it around 3 hours and 46 minutes max. It got down to 5 percent and shut off. I had my music i was listening to for 25 minutes. I had my IM program on for about an hour, had a 12 minute phone call. Was texting back and forth mainly, and I checked a few things on the browser and exited out. MY IM program uses GPS to get my location but only when I request to do so, then shut the gps off. I force closed it when I was done to be sure it wasn't gonna drain any more of my battery. My notifications are off mainly except for my texts and such. And this was with JuiceDefender on the last half of the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I don't like programs like Juice Defender to be honest. They usually go buggy and drain the battery more than it saves. People just get excited and leave positive reviews.

I'd honestly reset to factory settings in case there was a one-off glitch. Set things up again and use it like you would normally to gauges things. My battery lasted over 40 hours from the first charge.

With results that bad, I wouldn't troubleshoot beyond resetting it. Take it back if that's the case. That's not right. And it's not worth your time.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Thanks. I just got the phone not sure why I would need to factory reset it. Is there a way I can back my data up and such like texts and pics/apps?

Also 40 hours!? Jeeze do you like never use your phone at all? haha. That is insane my iPhone 4 never even got that good of battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
That code just pushes your phone to use EDGE only and not 3G. It can increase battery life if your phone is constantly trying to hold on to a spotty 3G signal, which can be common :(.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Ah, no I have about 4 bars of HSPA+ in my house, I think i'm good on that, thank you!
[Atrix 4G General] Kaoe:
Did you do the OTA update? seems to have helped a few people with battery life including myself.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Yep it's updated :) I'm wondering if it was the chat program yesterday I was using.. It has notifications on so it was probably connecting 24/7. I'm gonna keep it off today and use regular apps like facebook. Do you guys keep your notifications for those with good battery life?
[Atrix 4G General] Banditlol:
(off topic) is that your atrix? and how did you get your lockscreen to look like that?
[Atrix 4G General] nosit1:
It's an application called WidgetLocker. It's quite an amazing application if I do say so myself.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Chat programs are generally notorious battery hogs. Stick with Google Talk.
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
I've been using PingChat for about a month now and there is no significant battery drain. Very nice and reliable, more than google talk where messages sent would occasionally never be received.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Generally. I allow that there are some that are not battery hogs. I do know the chat program on my Touch Pro (I forget what it was) would suck my battery dry in an hour or two if left running in the background.

Well It can sound stupid, but nowadays mobile phone are like the old macs, you get what you buy and you stay with it.

why there is no company which think like IBM did long time ago

make a phone without cpu (but a slot for it - let me choose which one to buy) without gpu (let me choose which one to buy, I know there isn't much choice, but anyway) without ram (I'll buy it myself for my needs) without operating system, I'll choose which to buy and install.

this idea is definetly will bring some good prices and interesting things

just a screen with case and motherbord
[Off-topic] astar26:
This would probably be impossible, or very very expensive. Letting the user change the CPU (SoC) means a standard socket, every manufacturer has it's own.

Second, Allowing the user to create a phone would be very hard, as you need some way of assembling it without causing any damage, no company will give warranity for such a device.

Also, you can't just put any OS you want. Though here at XDA there are those capable of it, you need a bootloader, and it will be just to much work for a single piece of hardware.

this might be possible on tablets, which are bigger, but also there, it's far too complicated.

Also, can you buy a notebook without a CPU and all the rest? Full hardware customization is only available in desktop computers.

But doing such a thing would be absulutely AWESOME
[Off-topic] oka1:

When it comes to market it will only lower prices on phones
[Off-topic] astar26:
You got some points there, but when I mean warranity on PCs, I mean prebuilded PCs, such as Dells etc. You can always build your own (I did it a few times). but with a phone, the cmponents are much much smaller.

I know you can install all OSes on a computer, but there must be a bootloader to be able to boot all of them.

Once there will be a device like that, I'm surely going to buy it.

Hi,

i'm planning to Root my device so I can use some advanced Power management techniques (not installing any ROMs/Radios/Kernels).

Is it recommended after I root my device using the Visionary tool to get S-OFF ?
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
If you want to stay on stock rom there is no need to do S-OFF

Tapatalked with Tapatalk from my Desire HD using Tapatalk.
[Desire HD General] Hawks556:
And Visionary doesn't give you s-off...
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
So no need for S-Off right ?

Does rooting the phone have any disadvantages ? Do I still get all OTA updates and stuff ?
[Desire HD General] Hawks556:
No if your just plannig to use apps that need root right

Not really.

I think so yes, as long as you don't modify the rom in anyway (ie delete apps that came with the phone etc.) Remember that you will lose root after applying OTA update.
[Desire HD General] ABorgh:
I actually rooted and had S-ON. So yes you get the OTA updates, at least I did.
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
Your device must be rooted for this to work

Get "Samba Filesharing" from the Market and install it.

Configure it on your network in the settings- very straightforward- it will give you an IP address 192.168.1.x and the name \\Android for your device

If you are using Windows 7, Right-click Computer and click Map Network Drive, otherwise open up My Computer and click the "Map Network Drive" at the top

Enter the IP address (given by the app) and the Username and Password you chose during setup

Optional: Set a NETBIOS name and use that instead of the IP address and then you would type in \\netbiosname

Optional: Map the drive to your Internal sdcard or External sdcard depending on your preference- example \\netbiosname\sdcard (default) as the path in map network drive.

That's it! Now you have a drive in My Computer mapped to your Tab (or any other Android device) :D
[Galaxy Tab General] sys73r:
