duplicate contacts

i had duplicates upon duplicates for every number in my phone. for anyone else with this problem, and a google account, just sync all your contacts to your google account. go on your gmail from a computer. on the top left of the screen under "gmail by google" click on contacts. from there, click on "more actions" (right above the phone numbers) then click on "find and merge duplicates". then sync your contacts again and there you go, one phone number per contact! i hope this info is useful to someone else. i just wish i knew about this back in the good 'ol G1 days lol. but i guess thats what happens when cell phones replace computers ha!

I decided to try out the new RcmixHD 6.0 today...I backed up my Rom , wiped data n Cache n Dalvik Cache..The phone rebooted n now I am stuck on the bootscreen with white background n htc...plz someone help!!...I dont know what to do!!!..:confused:..neone?..plz reply soon..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henipah:
OK, i'm only new to this, so it might be better to wait and see if someone more experienced can answer you question.

but if its still stuck on the white screen then remove the battery & then put it back in again then hold down the Vol down button and power button until the bootloader loads up. then select 'recovery', it hopefully should take you back into the clockworkmod recovery & you can then flash your rom.

again, i'm only new & thats just my best guess.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suchevent:
first off, when you flash a new rom, it tends to stay on the white htc screen a bit longer. make sure you give it a few minutes (i'd say a good 3-4 minute wait should suffice but lets say 5 just to be safe). if nothing happens by then, you can always follow the method listed above by henipah to restore your backed-up rom.

once you have restored your rom and your heart rate has returned to normal levels, you can try flashing the new rom again. remember to wait it out a bit at the white htc screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
First boot can take an age, if you issue the command

adb logcat

it will at least confirm the phone is doing something and hasn't hung, if it has hung issue

adb reboot recovery

and reflash your chosen rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aradhyat:
Thank you for the replies...flashed it again n its fixed...it was stuck on Boot screen for about 15 minutes!!!..I thought I bricked by device or something...lolz..neways, all is well now..:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viktri:
Help plzzzz!!!!

I am a newbie here and am facing a problem with the data connection on the phone. I have flashed the new RCMix Rom v6.0.0.1 with partial Sense 3.0.

The problem is that if I leave the phone unattended or even otherwise, the data connection turns off. Is this a bug with the ROM, cause I see that the option for the Mobile Data Connection is still ticked in the Notifications Menu, but for me to be able to connect, I have to untick and then tick it again for the connection to happen again. Would also want to specify that I am not on 3G. Any help would be really appreciated.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
I'm just curious. I saw a video of the Nook Color running Ubuntu and of course there is Android. Are there any other OSes that can run on this thing? WebOS, WinCE, etc?

Also, a completely unrelated question...in the CM7 Android, what exactly is the command button for that looks like a upside down Army corporal rank? It's not always there, and when it shows up it doesn't seem to do anything. Just curious I guess.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
We only have Linux based OSes so far.

The button hides the status bar in some apps.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
i use my sirius/xm app for 2-3 hours on a typical day

ever since i got the G2X the stream cuts out about every 5-10 minutes. only way to get it to reconnect is to exit the app and open it back up.

anyone else have a similar issue?

*this is over the network or over wifi, neither one stays connected. (wifi is set to never sleep)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
XM has been weird for me, as well. I'll get it looping - I can listen for 5-20mins, and then it will choke & start back at the beginning of that session. I have to pause it & play again to get it back on track.

-bZj
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
yep exact same thing happens to me as well. same 5-10min loop will play over and over till i pause/play.

its definitely only an issue on the g2x because i never had any streaming issues with the n1. just the once in a while disconnect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
Same here - my Vibrant would choke occasionally, and even loop a minute or so forcing the pause/play. But the G2x is having worse issues - possibly related to the 4G/WiFi problem, I think.

-bZj
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
I had a few issues with Sirius on my N1 with CM7, few random stops after 10-15 mins regardless of wifi or cell

Ive only used the app for about 30mins on my G2x but no issues so far
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
I listen to Sirius about 6 hours a day using the app. When I first started I had the issues mentioned here - mainly replaying/looping, as well as losing the connection. But they don't seem to be occurring as frequently now. I want to say that it might have had something to do with the network connection and switching between 2g/4g - I now lock it in using 4g (WCDMA Only in phone settings). My app does seem to go thru periods when it will shutdown and then when I click on it, it is restarting. The iphone app was much more stable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
There is chatter about "SiriusXM 2.0," which I hope they support with a new app release.

Now off I go to find where I need to reset all my stations for on Wednesday.... (If these a-holes are going to re-set the stations, they should go to the trouble of syncing them up between services!)

-bZj
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I can tell there's a framework issue in G2x because streamfurious doesn't work with G2x (broken pipe then stop) while it works with ALL other Android phones/tablets.

Hopefully the future 2.3 update will fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
I put CM7 on my G2x last night. I will see if it makes any difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Just out of curiosity, what kind of battery life are you guys getting when you stream Sirius?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
If I'm streaming, I'm plugged in. I only stream when I'm driving to/from work.

-bZj

G2x in effect....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
i'm actually in the exact same boat. even if i'm streaming while at work i'm plugged in, so i'm not sure as to the battery drain.

i know on my n1 i never used to plug it in, even while driving to/from work. but since the battery is so terrible on the g2x i'm pretty much always plugged in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
It was stuck in a long loop today while listening to Howard Stern,such a long loop in fact i wasnt sure it was even a loop. it played out 3 or 4 times and went back to normal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] glock115:
Why arent there other apps to stream Sirius other than the official app? I'd like to get rid of my damn iPhone but one of the reasons I cant is because it streams Sirius so well, I use the MusicDock app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Before the SiriusXM App had Howard, I used Orb Live along with the SiriusXM Streamer (http://www.permanence.com/sirius/) on my home pc to stream to my phone. I believe Orb is also available for Android. The Orb Stream can also be accessed via a website/interface, mycast.orb.com, if you don't want to use the app (or pay the $10 ~ which is kind of pricey).

Initially I had issues with SXM app on Android, but now I use it everyday for 6+ hours with minimal issues and running on 2g.

HTH
[T-Mobile LG G2x] glock115:
Thanks, ill give it a try
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
I've installed ORB Media and ORB Live both on my G2X - worked with the stock ROM but FC on the CM7 ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Today i was listening to Sirus in the car via the Starmate replay and noticed a few shorter loops, I wonder if the loops we have heard before are from the APP or if its something on the sirius side.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
I haven't been able to listen to Sirius today since they changed the channel lineup - even using WiFi. Anyone else experiencing issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albarrios:
I am having the same looping issue on my Samsung Galaxy SII, no real fix for the problem?
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
Got a text from my phone provider Friday that an updatr for the HD video was available, and also Gingerbread OS. Problem is the friend who translated it for me was not sure if the update was for the Tab or Galaxy S.

I will have access to my computer and KIES tonight and will post back here if it is ready or not.

Sorry everyone, but after updating my Tab it just says :

Firmware version: 2.2.1

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 se.infra@SEP-41 #1

Build number: FROYO.EC12

Also when I connected to KIES it said the old was:

Current: PDA: EB22/ PHONE: EB18

NEW: PDA: EC12/ PHONE: EC09

So it loks like my friend was right and the update to GB was for the Galaxy S phone only. Makes sense as the S II was released this weekend, as well as the iPad2.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but maybe this will be of some use to someone.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
QUOTE:

The 30 second threshold is actually something built in to aid in detection of moisture on the screen and normalize the touch plane (like shaking an Etch A Sketch). The algorithm is this case assumes a finger that is on one spot for an extended period of time is actually a drop of water. If the finger is removed from the screen, touch should become usable again in a second or two in that spot. The touch driver would then detect essentially a "negative touch" in the area where the finger was removed and do a screen calibration (shake the Etch A Sketch again). We are looking into what can be done to increase this time threshold for you gamers and still provide a good water immunity experience. The tradeoff would be if your phone screen gets wet (rain or mist), the touch on the screen would become basically unusable. Stay tuned to this thread for updates.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
It does make sense when you think about it.
[Atrix 4G General] cafe.:
Whenever I hear stuff like this I get a little bit disappointed. What ever happened to being able to ENABLE/DISABLE features like this? Wouldn't that make a hell of a lot more sense then trying to increase the threshold time?
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
Man I wish everyone would think like you.
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
Hopefully they will add an enable/disable button and be done with it.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I dunno. It can really go both ways to be honest. I don't think it's a massive flop by any means. I'm personally not the biggest gamer so it's not a big deal to me. But I do see where it's a bit of a ***** as well.

Hopefully they think of something constructive to address the challenge.
[Atrix 4G General] hosmsdos:
Thanks, plz keep us posted about this issue, this glitch is the worst of all. I hope they can fix it soon, altought i thought that they will fix it on the last release 4.1.83 but they did not!!!
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
It isn't completely without reason, though... So I don't think anyone can really call it a"glitch". That would be like saying the touchpad on a laptop it's glitched because the cursor won't move if you're palming it, even though most have features to prevent movement in such situations. It's basically to make sure the screen is still usable should it get a spot of water on it. But I guess if they didn't have such a measure, we'd possibly be reading threads complaining about the opposite.

Now, I say this all the time "I can't believe that I can't play most emulator games on the Atrix because I can't leave my finger on the same spot for 10+ secs"
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
I just hope that this doesn't have anything to do with hardware and more of a software problem (feature).
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
there should be a way for games to turn that off.

How do other phones handle that? HTC, Apple?
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
I agree, there should be a way to turn it off. They may have an explanation, but there really is no excuse when other phones like the iPhone handle such things completely seamlessly. Their implementation and solution to the perceived water issue may work, but only under ideal conditions (ie. where you aren't needing to touch the screen for some time).
[Atrix 4G General] haloimplant:
I don't get this, who leaves water drops on their screen for 10+ second while they're using it? If I'm getting this straight, it will only ignore the input after it has been sitting there for a while.

The reason I post now is that I was using my SGS in the rain the other day. It actually did go wonky when some big water drops landed on it, but my reaction was not "gee I hope there is an algorithm that will ignore that input in 10 seconds" it was to wipe the water off and get to cover!

[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
If you have water on your screen for more than 10 seconds, you have bigger problems than whether touch is detected from that water drop or not. </dead phone>
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
uuh... last time i checked, water on the screen won't kill the phone.

And i don't think it's only referring to "Hey look, it's raining. Those drops of water might affect your touchscreen." I can't imagine tiny little droplets possibly from the process of wiping the screen wouldn't have the same effect.

maledyris: Well... that's also the iPhone... who's vast majority of users probably wouldn't be able to tell you why a capacitive touchscreen is leaps and bounds better than a resistive touchscreen, or even what the difference is. All they know is it's from Apple.... and has the GB's and the WiFi's.... and every sheep in town has one.
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
You're right, but how many people just let water hang out on the screen for long periods of time? I know I wipe it right off. A drop sitting there for 10+ seconds probably means water is getting behind the screen, probably means say goodbye to your phone as it is about to die.
[Atrix 4G General] mchimney:
I don't think the water just goes through the screen, only entrance I see is through the speaker port
[Atrix 4G General] benny6812:
any solution to this yet, it is soooo annoying!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
what about other phones that doesnt have this touchscreen problem? if they don't have this problem are they useless when the screen gets wet?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
It's not a problem per se, it's a matter of design.

Motorola wasn't thinking ahead but at least they were thinking outside of the box. I don't encounter this challenge too often, but when I do it's definitely a nuisance. I think it's a good idea in theory but perhaps it should be abandoned.

If my phone gets wet and I screw it up, that's my problem. I don't need my phone being proactive and encountering big hurdles all the time because of a feature that's supposed to prevent problems. I appreciate that Motorola tried putting this feature in but I'd rather them take the time to evaluate unlocking the bootloader instead. The community would be far more appreciative ;)
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
i agree its a pretty dumb design feature. i mean if there are drops of water on my screen i will wipe if off before using it or dry my hands before touching the phone. the only time i would see this helping is using your phone in the rain which i can understand is unavoidable sometimes but this situation is where the benefit does not outweigh the problem for me.
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
Hmm... i'm actually not sure what you're trying to say? It's irrelevant that the iPhone's users are not tech savvy. What i'm saying is that their touch tech is best in class. It doesn't have the flaw we're experiencing.
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
the lolziest part is that it still doesn't work when the screen gets wet.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
... again... it's not a "flaw".... more like a feature that wasn't thoroughly thought through.

And yea... while it is there.... knowing it's there, and actually experiencing it are two different things. The only time you'll notice it is if you play a game where you might have to keep your finger on the screen for a length of time.... such as games like PewPew.
[Atrix 4G General] cooluisgzz:
Lawl

@elementaldragon Lol why do you defend motorola SO MUCH? do you think they will give you money or something? employ you? cause they dont give ****. they are just making excuses, that explanation of the algorithm of the water drop its the most idiotic, lame excuse I have ever heard, just admit its a BUG, and it might be a hardware bug... also they need to unlock the bootloader.

[Atrix 4G General] hosmsdos:
Do you guys know if this is gonna be fixed in the upcomming updates, i just hope it isn't a hardware issue, its just botheres me alot to see powerfull phone with this kind of limitations. Also why the multitouch is limted to fingers only, from my understanding atrix screen can support much more than two.
[Atrix 4G General] devize:
This is what motorola says about why they only allow two fingers, found in same thread.

'Using more than two fingers on a 4" display is probably not going to be a widely used use case. Using more than two fingers is something that is more interesting and is supported on that tablet version of Android, 3.0 (Honeycomb). It is possible to support more than two fingers on Android 2.2 (Froyo) but the handling of multiple touches in the user space (framework) is not very efficient and actually introduces quite a bit of lag and garbage collection activity. So devices could add support for three or four fingers, but there would be consequences: Sluggish refresh and scrolling rate as well as stuttering on the display (during garbage collection).'
[Atrix 4G General] mirageromeo:
Any update on this issues ?
[Atrix 4G General] ChaosMinionX:
Does this have any effect like they are saying? I honestly don't see any of the problems they speak of with multitouch.

[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Cm7 allows 5 finger multitouch if you really want it. I can't really see why though. You can barely see the screen when using 3..
[Atrix 4G General] greenolive:
The number of multi-touch points has never been the problem. Read the thread and you'll see what I mean!
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Sorry I was actually replying to hosmsdos' post regarding "why does the atrix only support 2 finger touch".

But on the issue.. I think they need a bit more work on the design for sure. I've encountered a few times where I've had some water on my screen (a drop or from wet fingers) and it really screws up the screen functionality (causing wrong letters to be pressed or scrolling weird, etc)

So I really don't know what would be the best solution for now. Removing the feature entirely or make it work completely correctly.
[Atrix 4G General] Hoshneer:
Usually if my screen goes wonky from water I just have to wipe it and then hit the lock button. Usually works fine after that. It does get annoying though.
[Atrix 4G General] greenolive:
Alright! I of course thought you were answering me!

Anyway, I've never owned a phone where this has been an issue before? Why develop something that messes up my experience all of the time to fix a possible issue that occurs only during special conditions?

I hope that someone skilled at developing can find the issue somewhere in the code, and fix it so that we can choose for ourselves...
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
It's in the pds partition, which editing always has a major chance of a hard brick. This info was posted here by a dev in the cm7 thread months ago, so don't ask me to find it please.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
So if the feature is to work as they say, then when water gets on the screen, it should bug out for 30 seconds THEN be usable. That being said, if the water moves, the screen then has to re-calibrate and again wait another 30sec?

I call BS on this and I didn't even bother testing it. First off, you shouldn't be getting water on your phone and if you are, you're likely to put it away or shield it. Second, the description as stated doesn't make operational sense. Third, and lastly, I've never had a moisture/water issue with any other touchscreen device I've ever used.

It's a glitch and they don't know what's causing it.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
They did implement water "resistance" for the touch screen. There are Motorola phones that can take water on the screen by design.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIaUC-gGATM

As is typical of a lazy company, they didn't remove this feature when setting up the OS for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
That is the "waterproof" feature of the Defy. The Atrix is not waterproof. Put it in a sink and see what happens. The same think happens to the phone in the video regarding what is being discussed in this thread. Note at 1:00 he can't press the pause button due to water on the screen. It's a major drawback of capacitive screens and quite difficult to deal with from an engineering perspective.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
I'm saying Motorola had already had to implement this feature into the Defy to avoid having the water press things you wouldn't expect it to press. I know the Atrix is not waterproof, that's why I even mentioned that Motorola is lazy and didn't remove the feature for the Atrix.

The point I'm trying to make is that eatkabab is wrong in saying that it's just a glitch that they don't know about - it is a feature.
[Atrix 4G General] Nipit:

[Atrix 4G General] jakson0100:
