[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmstwo002:
While your contact list is open, hit "Menu", then "View", and make sure everything is unchecked except for "Google Contacts", then hit "Done". If that doesn't work, go to "Menu" from the home screen", hit "Applications", then "Manage Applications", then "All", scroll down to "Contacts Storage" and hit "Clear Data". Then sync your Gmail account again. This is what I have to do with my calendar sometimes when events show up twice. Let me know if it works for you.......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnmoose:
I know you said you were not getting contacts from any other source, but if you have signed into htc facebook that will try to find matches. If you go into the contact do you have an option to link that contact?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midmadn:
Yes and I'm faa,iliar with the facebook connections. This goes much deeper than that. I'm talking 15 or so of the same person in the contacts list.

Part of it might have been from My Lookout, but I haven't even been using that for quite a while.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midmadn:
Thank You very much for your help. I have done what you suggested - but I know that won't fix my problem as I have wiped my phone dozens of times in the last month playing with new ROMs and I only let google sync my contacts upon a fresh install of a rom. So I know this won't fix my problem. Thank You very much for taking the time to respond though. I really do appreciate it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
I know this sounds dumb, but did you check your Google contacts? Like you I played with roms a lot and I take off auto sync immediately. But sometimes before you can change those settings, the contacts will sync BACK to Google; duplicated contacts and all.

If you find that's the case, you can merge duplicate contacts when managing your contacts on your desktop using Gmail.

At one point, it fudged all of my groups, duplicated and even removed contacts. Luckily I have a backup file on my sdcard and pc that I was able to use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midmadn:
Again - I really appreciate the help.

I have done the merge duplicates in gmail on the computer. I just installed a fresh rom and let it download my contacts from google only, yet I have multiples of almost all of my contacts. It has gotten better than it used to be somehow. In a quick glance I only noticed no more than 5 of a single contact. I also noticed that the multiples appear to be from accounts that have more than one phone number in them. Like if I have a home phone, a cell phone, a fax phone and an alternate - I will end up with 4 different contacts for that person.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
When on ur phone and in contacts scroll over look at links to contact. There is a place that looks like a link to a chain that us either whole or broken. If connected it will link all the contacts with same name and vice versa for the unlinked. Hope that helps. That's for sense roms. If aosp rom they should consolidate on there own with use from what I've seen
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reliablesand:
Got a Nook Color, decided it wasn't for me even after hacking and custom romming it up and decided to restore to stock and sell. Here's a brief run down:

Followed a guide to flash stock image with custom recovery. When I was rooting I had a micro sd with CR and I had also installed a version to the NC's internal memory. From the guide I read it looked like flashing the stock image would restore it back to stock for everything. Did this and I got the standard boot screens and the setup screen with the girl and the video. Powered it off, cleaned it up, reboxed and put it up for sale. After I sold it I got a call back from the buyer saying it was hanging on the startup screen for nearly ten minutes. That later devevolved into boot loops. I would have originally held by "all sales final" mentality with craigslist buyers but then he mentioned it would flash a screen for a moment that would say "android" before boot looping again. Figured at this point I should be a guy and take it back, mainly because I HAD told him I did not root it. I got it back and it was boot looping, going through the "touch the future of reading" page and the N logo. Forced 8 failed starts and got an error message saying install could not complete. I fiddled some more (this is all while with friends at a Best buy mind you) and managed to get it to boot to screen, register my b&n account, and do a factory reset. After this it operated and ran perfectly fine, and after multiple factory resets, resetup runs, and trouble testing to force issues, it yielded perfect functionality. I even tested to make sure it would accept a credit card and that worked fine.

I'm gearing up to sell it to another buyer but I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row. I haven't fiddled with it beyond what I did the night I took it back but all testing I've done today has been fine. With B&N rolling out a froyo update though I want to be sure the unit is fine and won't give the other guy any trouble. There is no super user login or anything else that would suggest it's rooted or running anything other than stock firmware. I'm thinking that not letting it factory reset after flashing a stock rom may have contributed to my first bout of issues. Is there anything else I can check or look at to make sure the NC is good to go though?

EDIT:

Just performed a successful factory reset with deliberate 8 failed boots. Worked like a charm. Think I'm golden less otherwise advised.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salim950:
i have the orginal desire hd rom by htc and its rooted. the contacts are appearing more and more times. first each contact only appeared twice, now they appear eight times. i don't know whats causing it and i really need a fix, it becoming a joke:(. any help is apprachated

Thank You:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
I had the same problem. Didn't really solve the problem but i removed the duplicates by simply deleting them. Quick and dirty but it "works". I also stopped syncing my Facebook contacts and haven't had problems after that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
i think...... when we flash a new rom the device synchronizes our contacts with the google account... and reload our contacts.... but wen you flash a lot of times...diferent roms, the list of contacts multiplies the numbers because "google sync" was maked a security copy of de data from the roms one by one.

:mad:

Conclusion: whenever flash a new rom I erase one to one the duplicated contacts.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskival:
I used to have that problem, what I did was just go inti my Gmail account on the PC, go to contacts and delete the duplicates or you can just merge them. And now I just let Google sync my contacts back to phone, also check in contacts on the phone the contacts display option for which contacts to show, phone/Facebook/sim

[Nook Color Android Development] nemith:
I modified the official 1.2 update to allow CWM to flash them. You can use these to upgrade to 1.2 or to return to stock.

There are two files. One replaces CWM with the stock recovery (good for going back to stock). The other doesn't replace CWM (but will replace uboot).

Other than that they are identical to the update from B&N.

update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip

update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip

Please note neither one of these are rooted yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ishman:
Just curious as to if this is rooted or just fixed to allow use of CWM?

Nevermind just read the full post!!
[Nook Color Android Development] DGarmon:
So just to make sure, I could use the one zip to return to full stock but with the 1.2 update? Also will this work if I have CM7 and CWM on my emmc? So reboot into CW, format \system and \data then flash the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip, then Reboot. At that point, I should be 100% 1.2 stock, sound about right?

I thinking about returning to stock and just run CM7 for my SD if this is an options.

Thanks,

Derek.
[Nook Color Android Development] nemith:
Assuming you haven't fooked up any paritioning by using the "dual-boot" stuff you can return to 100% stock by doing the folllowing:

Download the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip above

Flash the zip with CWM (either from emmc or sdcard)

Use CWM to factory reset the device (wipe /data and /cache)

Reboot into 100% stock froyo :)

If you have modified your partitions this will not work.
[Nook Color Android Development] timobriggs:
This won't work off of an sd right?
[Nook Color Android Development] sassafras_:
I'd like to modify this so it just installs to my dual boot partition.

I've done this before with flashing kernels, but there are more partitions here to take care of.

I figure if I'm going to change the updater script to mount the correct block partitions then I should also have it wipe /data and /cache on the secondary partition.

Any ideas on syntax?

sassafras
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
Thanks :)

Once we have a rooted version I'll probably check it out for fun.
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
But then I'm stuck with stock froyo - I can't go back to CM7 after I've satisfied my curiosity, right?

Hmmm, have to think about that......then, again, maybe not.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Many thanks for these.

Please post MD5's of these so that we can be sure that the download was successful (some may want to store the file for later use).

BTW, free MD5checker can be found at getmd5checker.com
[Nook Color Android Development] msgnyc:
Create a backup first. ;)

Thanks for the files nemith. Much appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Hey nemith, would it be okay if I used this as a base for a rooted version? Give you full credit of course, just dont feel like going through the hassle of the updater script and what not.
[Nook Color Android Development] HarleyChick:
I guess I wasn't clear the first time: if I use this method, am I stuck with B&N's version of Froyo until someone figures out how to root this one, or can I just reflash CM7? And I'm not sure I understand the difference between both of the zips that nemith has produced.

In any case, thanks nemith - I always appreciate the work that the devs do!
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
If you dont like this, just boot into a bootable clockwork recovery and flash cm7 or whatever you want. You wont be stuck on this.
[Nook Color Android Development] msgnyc:
One zip removes Clockwork Recovery and puts the stock recovery back. The other leaves Clockwork Recovery intact.

I'd assume, leaving it intact allows you to flash back to any backups or any other Rom if incase you do not like the official build.

I'm at work so I'm unable to test it out.

Or you can always just use a bootsble SD with clockwork on it to reflash whatever ron or backup you have.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
My rooted BN1.1 with auto-nooter 3.0 does NOT have CWM in emmc. Can I use update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip to go to 1.2 unrooted?
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
Any way you could make something would allow you to flash 1.2 onto a secondary parttion for those of us who are dual booters?
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
So Ive got this thing rooted but I for the life of me cannot get the market to work. I have the vending.apk and googleservicesframework.apk under /system/app but market will not show up in my app drawer on the stock or adw launcher. Under manage applications, market or googleservicesframework arent there either. Does the nook have other dependencies? If anyone with some experience could throw some suggestions my way. ADB isnt currently working without the driver. Ive added other apps that are showing up and working perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] scoutcamper:
Did you modify the build.prop?
[Nook Color Android Development] RileyGrant:
Nope didnt touch it, im usually devving for the evo, so modding that isnt normally needed for gapps. What would need to be modified in the build.prop?
[Nook Color Android Development] scoutcamper:
The device code will have changed and prevent market access. Try pulling the device code from a froyo device with market access like Droid X.

[Milestone XT720 General] eSu.Matix:
So basicly my problem is this. I have my contacts saved on vCard on my SD card. I usually inport'em but sometimes when I flash with new ROM and I go contacts -> Import/Export -> Import from SD card it finds'em and imports'em but they are not visible in the contacts. I need to use apps like aContacts to use em. And when I edit contact, there is that "Google contact" with my e-mail under. :confused: Can someone tell me what to do. Anyone can help or advice me?

Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] ndempist:
have u ever sync your contact with your google account? there will be some back up if you've done it in the past..or MAYBE you can import it to your google account and then sync it..if i'm not mistaken...
[Milestone XT720 General] Tavinsky:
Import from google account vcard file on the web, and the phone should recognize it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Okay, just got an exchange for a phone. New battery, new phone, new SIM card as well.

Let the battery drain from 30 to 0, then charged it all the way to 100.

Okay guys, I'm up to 84% on a few text messages and market searching. Is this serious?

What do I do for a damn good battery? I can't even text and get good battery life.

Can someone help me figure out what to do with my battery life? I was a blackberry user and new to androids so I really need help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Try doing a system reset then immediately sign in with your google credentials. I wasn't a believer that this would help with anything, but somehow it did help a bit with my battery usage.

Then try the bloat freezer program and freeze all t-mobile related programs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
The issue according to Cyanogen is a bad driver that reports the percentage to the phone, not a problem of excessive discharge. I'm not sure if it's reporting higher or lower than it should be, or if it's just plain inaccurate. Either way, it's fixable, and he's working on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
I didn't root my phone and don't know if I should, I'm a newb and not sure how to do it and I'm worried about it. 2nd, i guess I can try the system restore option as well.

MWBehr, so your saying the phone has an issue telling me a different battery percentage than it should be? I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Correct. The problem more than that is that it's lying to itself aswell. What I mean by that is the phone will automatically shutdown at 1% or so. Well if the phone thinks the battery is down to 1% when it's really at say 15%, it's still going to shut down, preventing you from using that remaining 14%.

So it really is a big problem, it's just not the problem most people think it is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
But i noticed everyone has different issues, some people the battery lasts long. Some people it doesn't (like mine). Is that what it's doing ?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsu9:
Hi,

I've searched the forums but haven't found a solution to my problem. I rooted my Nook Color (1.1.0) using auto-nooter 3.0. Everything worked fine, then I tried to flash to CM7 using CWM. When I subsequently rebooted, the Nook goes into a boot loop where it never gets past the "Touch the Future of...." display before it reboots.

I've can't get into ADB because the unit reboots before I can get access. Also tried booting into CWM (3.0.0.5 and 3.0.1) on an SD Card. When I do this, it shows the "loading..." display for a few seconds then reverts to the boot cycle. Also tried nooter 0.2 but same result.

Tried doing 8 successive boot cycles by trying to turn it off before it reboots, but no luck.

I've noticed that others have had boot issues also, but it seems that everyone else has been able to eventually boot back into CWM via SD card.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would definitely appreciate the help.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelch3:
I experienced this exact problem and never did get it working. I was running Nookie Froyo on SD with overclock when it suddenly started rebooting. Doesn't matter if the card is in or out, it gets to the point you describe and reboots. All of the "restore to stock' tricks failed because it keeps rebooting, even when booting into CWM from SD. I ended up replacing it with another new NC and put the the first one in storage hoping I someday figure out the problem. I've never found anyone else with quite this problem. I'll be anxiously watching this thread!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsu9:
Not sure whether I should start to panic because you never got it working, or feel relieved because I am not the only one to experience this issue :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darlek:
You can add another person who is having this problem.

Yesterday I asked Rom manager to boot into recovery and that was all she wrote.

The nook gets through "Touch the future of reading," then the screen flashes for a fraction of a second before repeating the process again.

Holding 'n' and power while booting also has no affect; and it seems to ignore whatever is in the SD card slot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darlek:
Got it working!

Not exactly how this worked but here is what I did.

First off I used another SD Card Reader Although the idea of using another card reader doesn't seem to make sense; I had seen it on another forum.

I also Used a new uSD card

Used Win32DiskImage to burn the image to the uSD card (had been using DD on a linux box)

The images used was the Clockwork Recovery image (2GB,) look around and you should be able to find it.

I also copied the removeclockwork.zip

This should be available with a google search as well

From there it just worked like it was supposed to. The nook booted off the micro SD card and I used the removecwr.zip

Hope this helps

I tried it. They kept having me reset my antenna radio or suggest buying the extender. They could not give it to me free or for a lower price. And when I threatened to cancel my contract, they just said "Sorry to hear that, I'll connect you over to cancel your contract."

As for the app, thanks for the suggestion. Will check into that.
