[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Get a Go Pro. Problem solved.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsboxerboy1:
Yeah, I knooooow that's a helluva lot easier to do but I wanted to show my friend in the UK a bit of what I do. I've tried the uStream app over 3G and you know, it's not terrible.

Those go pro cameras are pretty cool but they're so bluky. What I'm thinking here is a camera the size of like a webcam that you'd find in a laptop or even on a cellphone just permanently mounted into my helmet. I can plug it into my phone and then from there I can write a program to upload pictures at say, 1 minute intervals (if we're ruling out the uStream thing entirely) to a server with geostamps - I think that would be pretty cool.

I'm planning a big tour on my moto this summer and I think it would be good fun for those who wished to follow where I was and what I was seeing.

It might end up being easier to just teather my phone to a homebrew solution though (like K2340 is saying). That way it's independent of the phone and all. Easiest would be to mount the camera to the bike itself, but the helmet view would be much preferred.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys - keep em coming

[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
So every time you add a contact to your phone, google will sync all my contacts to my google account?

if i reformat everything, then connect google to my phone, all my contacts will be there on my phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] buddy17:
yupppppppp
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Yes as long as you sign into the same Google account that have your contacts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tirumal:
but we cant format every time we update a contact. why is the sync not working in mobile. Its showing error"sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"

i have been seeing this message for the past one week.Is there any solution for this without formatting?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I dont recommend using Google Sync. Its most most inbredly retarded system ever. Every time you sync it duplicates everything (which is not technically a sync). Right now I have anywhere from 4-7 copies of the same contact number, it creates a new copy if you change the name, or add an email address etc. Then you have to "link" them to not see the duplicates, then when you want to call or text it asks which of the 7 numbers you want to use (even through they are all the same exect effing number). Google needs to take the kid with the waterwings, helmet, and droolcup out of that position.

I also have yet to see where you can delete or edit the "database" where it syncs from. Because under my contacts in google, it only shows 1 number, 1 email address etc. Yet as soon as I "sync", bam, 7 copies of everything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rotchcrocket04:
I wish I could tell you what you're doing wrong. I added my contacts through GMail - Contacts about a year ago. I've deleted then synced dozens of times and I still have the exact same 300ish contacts and they never double up. I used to have issues with contacts doubling up and creating more than necessary when I was on my iPhone - but since I've gone Android I've had no issues whatsoever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] one7dchevy:
sounds like you restored your contacts through MyBackup or something similar?
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Google contact sync works great. Been using it for the last 3 year since I had an iPhone 3G. It definitely works much better on Android though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I don't restore using backups, I restore using sync. Just for S&G's I wiped and synced again. It re-duplicated. I now have up to 8 entries for majority of my contacts.

I've read that if you go to Gmail (browser) and set up the contacts for your phone in a "My Contacts" folder, then wipe your contacts and load only "My Contacts" when syncing, that it will work. To me the dumb part is that you have to go in and set up every one of your contacts from scratch.

Instead of only giving the option to "link" all those duplicates it should give the option to merge, or delete select contacts.

Even though the contacts are "linked" when I go to People or whatever (the contacts app) so there is only 1 "entry" or listing, I feel that to be fixed by Sense. However, when I compose a new message, right off the bat in A's, it starts off with 5 entries for the same contact. An e-mail address, a 10 digit phone number, a + and then 10 digit number, and there two more for the 11 digit number (1 then number, and +1 then number)

It's really, really retarded.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
I'm guessing this is not what the majority of people using Google contact sync experience. Like I said, I've been using this for awhile and this has not happened to me on my Inspire, and I've flashed several ROMs and had to resync my contacts over and over. I've never had to "start from scratch". Maybe you need to go to the google help forums.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
Maybe this isn't my first android phone, maybe its happened since i had my captivate, maybe it also happens on a coworkers droid x, maybe it also happens on another coworkers nexus, may it does the same thing on everybody else I know's phones.

I never said i have to start from scratch, I said that seems to be the only way to set it up to work right, is to do it from GMail on a computer. Creating those contacts in a folder you create called My Contacts.

Do me a favor. Use a stock mms app. Go to create new text, then add recipients. Unless you set all your contacts up in the My Contacts tab of google before ever syncing from a fresh phone/flash, you will see duplicates there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pkley:
It is possible to merge your contacts thru Gmail online. It does a fair job of removing duplicates but not a perfect job.

You're not the only one who can't stand the way Google handles contacts. It's a major problem coming from WM6 and Outlook to Google. I'm hoping that HTC's tool to import contacts will work and I'll be able to clear out a ton of stuff from my Google contacts that's bogus.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Looking in my gmail contacts, they are indeed in a My Contacts group.
[HTC Inspire 4G] irrffan:
during sync I am facing following problems:

1. My android contact nos automatically converted from xxxxxxxxxxx to xx xxx xxxxxxxxx on google.

2. Added pictures not uploaed on google.

Hope i can ask it here and not in general.

I read, a Gingerbread AOSP isn't possible because of missing drivers.

But what about a Froyo port? Drivers could maybe extracted?

Couldn't this fix all the strange lags, etc which still exist in Modaco ROM (ok, the ROM is absolutely grate compared to original LG crap), but still suffers some strange lags (e.g. selecting a widget,.)

Thanks for an answer :-)

Just installed "CyanogenMod-7 for ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) :: V7.0.0-RC4 (30/03/2011)"

Firstly, many thanks for making this great rom. Instructions very easy to follow, even I could do it (my first smart phone, only had it 5 days so yes, it’s all very new to me).

Anyway, can someone please help me? On my old Orange rom, when sending a text (which is what I do a lot of) my “send to many logo” is missing from the CM7 rom (see pics). How can I get this back? It's driving me nut!

Gen2

Hi All

Just flashed my Blade to Gen 2 yesterday and installed CM7 Gen2 .

On previous CM7 Final Gen 1, I had reboots and freezing on boot screen but

have had no issues since the new installation. Plays games very well.

Stransky

(Douglas)

Edit: Just upgraded CM7 to 7.0.2 and on reboot phone was stuck on boot screen and had no arrow

to swipe nor would menu button work other than to put phone in standby. Had to uses stock recovery to get cm7 to load and now

cannot get beyond the the Droid screen when trying to restore/backup. Will not enter clockwork recovery no matter what I try.

Can load CM7 basic but no google apps and unable to load gapps because I cannot enter clockwork recovery. Can any suggest a way out.
[Blade General] HCDR.Jacob:
Use rom manager to install the latest clockwork mod

HI

Thanks for the reply but I have tried to download the latest ClockworkMod via Rom Manager and the same thing happens it tries to update and then freezes

on the droid screen. I can't get to the market as I cannot load gapps because

of the lack of ClockworkMod recovery. Catch 22 time. Any other suggestions greatly received.

[Blade General] Stransky:
Hi HCDR.Jacob

Me again. Have just found out why I cannot load ClockworkMod Recovery or any other recovery. Ran Androot 1.6 andgot reply, when I tried to unroot - Not Rooted.

So I ran Androot and got the following "Rooted - No - Fu - Goo". Yet Balde is running CM7 . Question is now how do I root the blooming thing or is that a no go?

Please advise.

Stransky

(Douglas)

Edit: Have found possible fault is corrupt firmware. I s there any way to flash the firmware on the Blade to original state and if so how?
[Blade General] Troute:
Google for no fu goo m8, it's a very common response and can sometimes be solved.
[Blade General] Stransky:
Hi

Thanks for that but info garnered no where near to solving prob. Managed to find z4Root and ran that and it informs me I am still rooted. Problem is that I cannot access ClockworkMod Recovery and rom manager is stuck on 3.0.2.0 and will not upgrade to 4.2.0.0 which is the latest as far as I can ascertain. Do you know of any way to get ClockworkMod back onto my Blade so that I cam upgrade CM to 7.0.2 and get google apps back.

Stransky

[Blade General] max42:
I just upgraded my ZTE Blade to 7.0.2 using the latest Rom Manager (from 7 RC3) ... now my Blade just keeps booting only showing the Droid Logo for about 4 secs and that loops forever. I wasn't aware of any Gen1 vs. Gen2 thing. And am still not sure what this exactly is.

Is there anyway to fix this, or is the device bricked?

Any ideas? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!

Thx.
[Blade General] gloc33:
Just gave you a possible tweak on your thread but please don't just splash your problem onto the other threads, as this is most likely to create confusion. If somebody can help you, he will answer you in the right thread: the one you opened.

Also a first look at similar topic or a quick search would have avoided this kind of situation. Even the first guide for flashing a custom ROM on the OSF clearly states a warning on the Gen1/Gen2 thing...

[Blade General] max42:
I wouldn't have cross-posted if the topic wasn't CM7. Maybe it stops someone to make the same mistake -> see below.

Didn't know about the site and wasn't aware of the Gen1/Gen2 issue.

I wanted to show a friend (iPhone owner) how easy it is to update the firmware using ROM Manager over a beer and simple downloaded CM7.0.2 using ROM Manager, not being aware of any Gen1/Gen2 issues...

well EPIC FAIL!

So, thx for the url and won't be crossposting again.

[Blade General] Nesovic:
I've installed this ROM (CM7.02Nightly57 + CWM 3.0.2.7) yesterday, but having some troubles:

- the battery is duying very fast

- the pulldown menu can not be pulled up easy in normal mode. When in landcape it works nice, but when in portrait, it is stuck in the bottom, and you can pull it up after several times, or have to press back button

anyone has issues like this?
[Blade General] gloc33:
Autonomy issues have already been widely reported for 7.0.2, most people I have read from went back on CM7.0 stable because of that.

For the menu, this might be a new issue. Perhaps check on CM7 forum to see if it has been reported yet and whether a fix has been found yet.

[HTC Sensation] hiraj_panosian:
Hi,

I am looking for a replacement phone for my Galaxy S and I am doubting whether to buy the SGS II or the HTC Sensation, the most important thing is the screen!

And since the SGS had an aweful Pentile Matrix Layout RGBG, I would never buy another phone with a PM layout.

So straight to the point does the htc sensation have a Pentile Matrix layout?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] walk.away:
Screen is an LCD and therefore has a RGB stripe subpixel layout. Pentile is used for oled screen technology.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Then, what is that?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4165/the-motorola-atrix-4g-preview/4
[HTC Sensation] walk.away:
Wow, I wonder why they did that, I'm not buying the blue phosphor stuff as how many lcd screens have you seen noticeably affected by this. Is this the only pentile lcd screen?

I wouldnt have thought that the Sensation would use pentile as none of the new HTC models with S-LCD screens have pentile as far as I'm aware.
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
I don't think this one is pentile matrix, but I don't have anything solid to back that up.

The SGSII is definitely not pentile matrix.
[HTC Sensation] Killbynature:
The screen on the sensation is super LCD qhd I'm pretty sure the super amoled plus screen on the sg2 is pentile matrix
[HTC Sensation] hiraj_panosian:
The SGS II doesn't have a pentile matrix that's for sure, since the plus in super amoled plus, stands for the extra subpixel (compared to Super Amoled)

Now I was wondering whether the HTC Sensation has a pentile matrix because the Atrix 4G has a pentile matrix aswell and that's qHD too!
[HTC Sensation] I_Droid:
qHD is only a spec of resolution, not of screen type. qHD is one quarter of full HD resolution:

1920/2= 960

1080/2= 540

The qHD notation could be use on amoled, samoled, lcd, slcd or any type of screen, as long as it is 960 x 540 resolution.
[HTC Sensation] eallan:
The sgs2 is NOT a pentile matrix.
[HTC Sensation] eallan:
Has nothing to do with the blue. The white pixel lends brightness. I'm sure its cheaper for them and easier to make. Ideally it should increase battery life.
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
I see others have corrected you, but since your post my in reply to mine I felt irked enough to reply anyways. The SGSII screen is definitely NOT pentile. Samsung made a big deal about that at the launch, and its been widely publicised since. Using Google occasionally, before posting, is a great way to avoid espousing fictions publicly.
[HTC Sensation] walk.away:
Erm, there is no suchh thing as a white pixel. Red Green and Blue combine to make white light. The anandtech article explains it well.

I do acknowledge that the blue may shut down quicker, but no other LCD uses this, so i dont believe its the reason Motorola used pentile matrix. Possibly too reduce the cost of creating a screen with high resolution by reduction the number of sub pixels to cram in. (or wichever lcd manufacturer moto uses)
[HTC Sensation] s1m:
Anyone know the answer to the OP?

As with many other people I'm torn between the SGS2 and the HTC Sensation... For me this could be the deciding factor.
[HTC Sensation] The Doctor:
I believe the Atrix uses a RGBW PenTile arrangement - you can see it in the Anandtech cloe-up.
[HTC Sensation] nicksean:
The sgs2 is NOT a pentile matrix.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
Repetition of what others have said but,

GSII has no pentile matrix, the PLUS in super AMOLED Plus stands for 50% increase i sub pixels SO when you look at the screen, it'll appear in it's FULL resolution! No pixelating due to pentile.

Link will tell you what you need to know.

http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled-plus
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
THANK YOU! That description is accurate without the implied hyperbole of making it higher res and stuff. Sorry, I just hate the propaganda spewed by all companies and think that its hyperbole has no place here. Saying it makes it look higher res than it is is wrong, while your statement of "it'll appear in it's FULL resolution! No pixelating due to pentile." is perfectly accurate. :D
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
even thought you'd think they'd "bat for AMOELD" it's a VERY good website. Just lays the facts of AMOLED.

So have you made your mind up yet??
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
Now that is a good reasoning!! Personally I think I'm swaying to the GSII.

1) I'm on T-mobile UK, who get all their phones late! :/ SO I don't think I could wait for the sensation (as it is the GSII is coming in in June...or later)

2) I prefer the sense look and feel, but I'm coming up from a Desire, so I feel as if I'm just buying a "Desire-pro"/"Desire-EPIC-HD" :p etc (you get the point?) and I'm the sort of person that likes change! :p

I also ended up just using launcherPro over sense on my desire also.

3) Watch is a big feature on HTC...but I have A RUBBISH 2mb internet speed, on a good day, so downloading movies is something that I haven't been able to do (without leaving my pc on over night!)

4)Being honest, I'm not totally happy about the TouchWiz messaging of contacts (it looks very "blocky/rectangular", but that's something I'll change/get over.)

5) the RAM, even though it is more that enough, it's just the sort of thing that will bug me, knowing that the GSII has 1GB. And internal memory, again even though 1GB is enough, I just fear running out, like on my desire.

And the GSII, should be coming on T-Mobile earlier than the Sensation, so it's the one i'll go for - But still will feel gutted that I won't be seeing qHD.

there's always next year...when hopefully, we'll be seeing 300+ PPI Super AMOLED plus panels! :p
[HTC Sensation] :
I am not sure if these (Google's decisions) are suggestions or something mandatory.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
I think it was an agreement.
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
SLCD(Its same as in G2, MT4G just with increased resolution), SAMOLED+ are not Pentile Matrix

SAMOLED, AMOLED are Pentile Matrix
[HTC Sensation] Mobage:
I found this thread by accident, but anyway, this is the answer:

http://asia.cnet.com/crave/is-htcs-qhd-display-better-than-motos-62209143.htm

HTC Sensation uses traditional RGB sub-pixels LCD.
[HTC Sensation] basskidd:
Very good article. I moved from atrix to inspire just because of screen tech. The pentile was really bothering me. :P Now I'm addicted to HTC sense and will probably be getting the holiday on ATT lte. Good luck and I'm sure you will be happy with either one.
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
The Galaxy S II has an improved screen over early AMOLED tech but it isn't nearly as clear as the LCD on the Sensation when it comes to small text and fine detail.
