[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
Hi guys,

I seem to have cocked up my contacts through a load of synchronising and messing about.

I now need to delete ALL my phone contacts but NOT the Google contacts (because I want to import the Google contacts after).

The problem is, everytime I delete a phone contact (ie. Have only PHONE visible in contacts list and delete) it also deletes from Google (even though Google is hidden).

This is probably because they're linked contacts... but I have HUNDREDS of linked contacts, also with Facebook etc to show the photos. It took hours setting up all the links and I don't want to break them.

What do I do? :-S I'm really confused.

Thanks

Matt
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
PS: This came about because I'd accidentally been adding NEW contacts to Google rather than my phone. All I wanted to do was get the 10 extra contacts from Google onto my Phone also (then link them). So i exported the Google contacts to SD card and then imported them to phone from SD Card. It created duplicates on the phone (so now there's 2x more contacts listed in the Phone storage).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frento:
Did you try disabling synchronize for google account before deleted action?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
thanks. Tried and it doesn't help. I disabled all synchronisation, unchecked Contacts in the Google account... and it still deleted it.

Re-enabled sync and hoped it would still have a copy on the Google account but it hasn't, it really deleted it.

:-S
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frento:
But you've the vcf file from your last backup process in your sdcard right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
yep i just exported google contacts to SD card so I have a copy.

I just want to delete ALL phone contacts and re-import.

When I delete a phone contact though it deletes the Google contact also! And god knows what happens to the Facebook contact (not risking deleting one that's linked to Facebook)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjsov:
Hej,

When you initailly set up you phone, you setup HTC sync & Google Sync by default. 1. Disable Google Sync, it will delete/not show all the synced google contacts

2. Create a Google Exchange account & sync.

3. Enable linked contacts with facebook (or you can disable facebook sync altogether as I did so as not to have duplicate entries (having mobile number of John twice)

Hope this helps

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GemeenAapje:
thanks for the replies guys.

I've fixed it as follows...

Deleted Facebook account.

Deleted Facebook for HTC Sense account

Deleted all contacts (also from Gmail)

Restarted phone

Imported SD card to Google

Resync'd

Added Facebook accounts

Relinked everything.

What a ball ache! :-S

Thanks again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
Pleased with the Galaxy S2 so far but it appears to be having problems with push email from my company's email account. It's Exchange 2003 (I think) set up to use ActiveSync.

No notifications of new email is received until the email account is opened on the phone at which point it refreshes and finds the email. Bit frustrating, it worked fine on my Nexus One.

Cheers,

Dave.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fro5tie:
ive got mine set up to exchange 03 at work, it does push through some times, but not always, doesnt seem to be as fast as iphones connected same way which come through almost immediately - although i believe this may be down to using our work wireless as well which doesnt connect to exchange - so maybe its trying to use the wifi to connect to exchange and bottling it, and not using normal packet data to push through?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkley:
Working pretty well for me connecting to Exchange 2007. Every now and again I loose push and there will be a "unable to open connection due to security error" when I go into the app after which it will refresh.

hi everyone ;

I want cm7 with HTC Sense 2.1 :)

any Idea ... please help
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi blue glitter

CM7 is built to be a non-sense ROM, hence to have sense 2.1 doesn't seem possible. Well its possible, but there need to be a lot of work to be done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
AOSP like cyanogen its unable to port htc sense... (superstick said it also lol)

but if you really want the sense... why you don´t flash a sense rom?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
You can try out Spike-CM7 ROM. =)

It is similar to that of CM7, just that it has been enhanced a little.

Hi again guys,

I have heard that the 2.3 update stops the Facebook integration with Contacts. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

One of the best features of this phone is having the little Facebook photo next to all my contacts, birthday reminders, status updates showing etc.

Will I lose this if I update to 2.3?

Thanks!

hello everybody!

which is the best android rom on sd card for hd2 leo?

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
This is asking for a very personal opinion, and I'm sure someone else will post a "this is not a helpful question etc...."

...But for my money, I recommend Motoman234 EVO Black&Blue Remix. It has not been updated since December - but every week I try other ROMs (both NAND and SD) and I still keep coming back to this. It's just very very perfect (I'm in the UK on O2). Certainly worth a try, even if it's on the old side now.

I keep trying to find a better ROM (and I'm sure there are better NANDs than this), but I'm still too happy with this, and am waiting for a stable Sense 3.0 from somewhere before really looking to switch.

(This is from someone who changed his ROM every week on Windows 6.5 in the pursuit for perfection!)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcotton73:
Hello,

I have an AT&T x10a - which I upgraded to 2.1 using the non-GUI flashtool few months back - and then to the dual-touch update through SEUS. Everything was fine until about a week ago - when my phone started freezing randomly (and would have to remove / reinsert battery to get it to restart).

After a few times of this happenning, I downloaded the latest GUI flashtool (0.2.9) and reflashed the generic 2.1 ROM - no issues doing this - but phone froze again after a day of use. Battery Graph app showed sudden drain in battery charge right about the time when the phone would freeze. So decided to restore this back to AT&T 1.6 firmware -- found instructions in another thread on the forum to modify the build.prop file and change the SI number using root-explorer. Managed to change the SI number in that file successfully -- but since then my phone has stopped working.

Last couple of days - on pressing power button, phone would vibrate for a second - but not turn on - no display - no LEDs.. Couldn't connect in flash-mode (even in Flashtool) or regular USB mode. Now the phone does not even vibrate on pressing the power button - nothing happens (it's not the battery - as my wife has the exact phone and I have been interchanging batteries / making sure its charged)..

I have tried several things I found on this site -- holding back button - then plugging in battery, reinstalling SEUS, PC Comp, Java - etc.. -- no luck. At one point yesterday - I removed the battery, connected wall charger and reinserted battery - green light came on - tried the same by plugging into USB port - and PC Companion recognized phone as connected (still wouldn't turn on) -- but I cannot get that to repeat now.. The phone does nothing.

So - anything else I can try to make it come back to life - or I am hosed?

Thanks in advance for the help -- and this forum is pretty awesome.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRuan:
battery too low i believe!

It seems to me that your battery is on a very low level of charge, since your phone is not working correctly it won't start to charge it as it should.

You can try the following:

Remove the battery, connect the wall charger, wait 2s, place the battery in, leave the phone charging for at least 30min, if the battery or the charger starts getting hot remove the charger and the battery(only charger hot = some sort of short or waste of battery somewhere, battery hot = charge too fast or charge and decharge too fast).

2º charge your battery using a 4,5v DC external connected directly to the battery for at least 20min, the power supply must be at least near 500mah wall charger, even an old mobile charger which you can cut of the wires to connect directly to the battery, remember to test carefully the poles + and -, if you do reverse this YOU WILL KILL THE BATTERY, + goes into + and - into -.

If the battery gets to hot check the poles, if they are correct wait sometime replug the wires and leave it at max 45min.

Put the battery on the phone and test, if it does work try to get to the system and check the battery, if it has more than 70% you can try to reflash everything using seus to make sure you won't get the same error again.

DO not try to reflash the phone with the battery below 30% because if there is any error that is causing your battery to drop too fast it may break your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcotton73:
Thanks for your reply - but as I mentioned in my initial post -- I have tried two batteries (since my wife has the same phone) --- and I have made sure that battery is charged before trying flash mode. I have used both the batteries and the result is the same - the phone won't start - no LED indicators. I have also tried plugging in the charger first and then inserting the battery - no luck.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosindubh:
You seem to have tried everything that I've tried in the many times I've messed up my phone when I've impatiently installed a ROM... I get overconfident a lot =)...

Anyway you seem to be going the right way but have you tried to remove everything from your phone... battery; sim and memory card... for about 5mins.

SEUS is probably your best bet if you can get your comp to recognise it for long enough... I couldn't though... so had to first reflash the baseband using flashtool... which is also a waiting game as it may not recognise it as a X10 anymore, so be prepared to quickly, as the phone will only remain in flash mode for a little while, identify the phone in the popup and then reflash to the right BB first then ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcotton73:
Is there a difference between how you flash baseband v/s the complete firmware using Flashtool? Because even with flashtool I cannot get the phone to go into flashmode - when trying to reflash the firmware.

Hi

I'm trying to flash a gingerbread rom to my desire but I always end up being stuck on the HTC logo. I tried several ROMS( opendesire, modaco with sense and without, some more too but can't remember the names,... ) The only gingerbread ROM that installs is CM7, but i have market problems that annoy the hell out of me ( can't find certain apps, need to hack to install bigger apps ). A shame because i really like CM, but i want to compare with others :(

Any idea why gingerbread won't flash correctly. I have tried several froyo ROMS without any issues before, by the way

I have

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

RADIO-5.14.05.17

thx

[Desire General] fregor:
Did you remember to wipe your data between each different install?

That's the most common problem when you get stuck at boot.
[Desire General] netdust:
i use rom-manager and always create a back-up and wipe.

I also tried with an empty SD-Card and repartioned it ( with rom-manager ). The results are always the same, every gingerbread rom gets stuck. I thought there was something wrong with the partitions or maybe i need s-off for gingerbread... ?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
What version of CWM do you have? Did you update manually to the new radio for the GB Roms?
[Desire General] netdust:
I'm using Rom Manager v4.2.0.2

It is possible that i flashed that radio with a previous modaco sense/froyo ROM.

should i first flash that one you mention and then try again?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Okay, Rom Manager Is not a recovery :) What's your recovery exactly?

And what ROMs do you try to flash?

AFAIK, you need to flash that first in order to get booted.
[Desire General] netdust:
sorry :) clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 is current recovery

I really tried several ROMS

Modaco sense gingerbread

Modaco without sense

opendesire

oxygen

etc...

all and always stuck on HTC Logo except for CM7, that one works fine except for the market issues
[Desire General] davebugyi:
I found this in one of the ROM threads.

So my suggestion:

First try to update the radio to the newest (alredy posted the link).

If that does not help, then try to update your recovery.
[Desire General] netdust:
updating radio and flashing updates did not help :(

i'm still stuck when trying to install oxygen

I could use some help in updating my recovery. I f i do this with rom manager 2.5.0.7 is the most recent.

I seems there's a 2.5.1.2 out and 3.x.x.x is not advised. Is there an update zip somewhere to use?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
People report that Insertcoin S v22 can be installed with 2.5.0.7

Make sure you do a full wipe in THE RECOVERY, not ROM Manager or any program.

Too boot into recovery hold down Power+Vol Down while phone is off.

There:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cahce

3. Under advanced menu > Wipe dalvik-cache

Also make sure your SD card is partitioned right.

And for the update - you can only update your recovery if you are S-OFF or you use Unrevoked3 with a custom recovery image.
[Desire General] Tirinoarim:
Grab a copy of Ubuntu and check that the apps2sd partition on your card is formatted correctly. I tried all ways of formatting and partitioning (via clockwork/rom manager) and it never formatted correctly and always caused HTC boot sticking.

If I completely reformatted SD and reflashed an older rom (like Leedroid 2.3) would then boot fine. I then used Rom Manager to repartition & format SD, boot ubuntu (live CD is enough - no install required) then reformatted partition to EXT4, flashed and worked fine.

Also, is 2.5.0.7 your TRUE recovery version? Turn your phone on with vol-down held then select recovery - does the version change to an older one? If this is the case you may need to re-root is (Unrevoked) to update your recovery version permanantly.

Hope that helps.
[Desire General] TMSsecret:
If you are S-off you can flash newest recovery using fastboot, this flash would be permanent!

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img
[Desire General] thelloydr:
i agree with TMSsecret,

the gingerbread ROMs i have used seem to need a more recent version of HBOOT. First time I tried to flash LeeDroid 3.0.2, it didnt work. Applied S-OFF (which updates your HBOOT during the process) and tried again, worked no worries. Also, if you're keen to install the latest ROMs, upgrade to clockworkmod recovery 3.x... It took me a few tries to get FASTBOOT working properly (possibly because my version of windows XP has had too long to decompose), but if you persevere, it will work.

The best way to make sure your ROM will work is a thorough research session. Not slagging you at all, just pointing out the obvious. Look up everything to do with your intended ROM and read the threads.

I come from a Motorola MIlestone where stock is a JOKE. Even with Launcher Pro, you're looking at a slideshow. Without an overclock and a lot of mods, the phone is utter crap.
