[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharesearch:
Hello,

Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. Is the error message I'm getting.

I have a unlocked Nexus S (T) with da8206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629 (2.3.4 94MB) with netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.11-cfs-2.3.4-signed and su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed installed. I use the Voodoo app for colors. I also modified the database to get video chat for GTalk on T-Mobile.

Looks like only the contacts have this issue:

I found this:

05-12 20:29:01.428 D/ContactsSyncAdapter( 227): error with entity Entity: _id=282 starred=0 contact_id=285 name_verified=0 is_restricted=0 dirty=1 deleted=0 version=2 account_type=com.google account_name=x@gmail.com

I guess dirty=1 indicates this error?

Now it listed a specific contact in the log.

If I delete this contact on the phone it is also deleted on Gmail web page. Sync is working half way I guess. But I still get this contact in the log, but I don't see the contact on the phone or on the webpage.

I logged in to Gmail and restored my contacts to 05/02/2011, but this also didn't change anything.

I restored my contacts back to 1 hour ago and I removed the picture from this contact... but not luck... still the same crap... what else to do?

Regards,

Markus Schulz

PS: I also tried numerous reboots...

Should I wipe the phone and start from scratch?

PS: My Gmail is still working... I forgot to turn the sync on again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
If you do, be sure to let me know what happens. I've had the same issue since I upgraded to 2.3.4. Oddly, contact sync still seems to be working at least unidirectionally (when I change something on the phone it's reflected in my Google contacts), but the system still detects a problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharesearch:
I'm just reading through the development help and it is allowed for a photo to be null. I'm not sure why it is so unhappy? I guess this may a bug.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharesearch:
Thanks to Eric Hanchroe here is how to resolve it:

Turn all synchronization off. Force stop and clear data on all contacts applications. Turn sync on again, this fixed it for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
So it does. Seems to be behaving itself, but I'll keep an eye on it and post here with further problems should they occur. Thank you for the fix!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgmichna:
Data loss warning

You should have added a warning that contact data may be lost.

In the best of circumstances the data will be recovered from the Google account and will re-sync back to the phone. But there are circumstances in which this will not work, for example, if the user has added contacts while synchronization was disabled or already not working. Contacts stored in the phone, rather than in the Google account, will also be lost.

I recommend backups before deleting data.

There are also various other possible causes and respective solutions. For example, a soft reset (removing the battery for 10 s) can solve the problem in some cases.

The cause may often be the contact data, but it could just as well be calendar data, Google Documents data, or any other synced data. A method to find the cause could be to start a manual sync and watch which part of the data syncs successfully and which doesn't. It may help to look at the system log.

tried this and didnt work.

Ive been getting problems only with my mail which is through hotmail.

I went back through all my downloaded apps and was going to start unistalling them to see which one might work. I then noticed a app HTC Sync, I didnt recall downloading this so I deleted and now all works a treat.

so which radio is useable with CM7?

I tried to flash it last night running the MR2 radio and that didnt work. I had no signal whatsoever even after doing the procedure in this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13348917&postcount=1

please help. CM7 looks so wonderful but i cant even get it to work
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
CM7 works just fine with the 2.5 - 3.5.

the latest 3.5 (802) however produces poor 4G performance. it's best to use 2.5 for 4G.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collie12:
Hi all,

First I have realized this question has been asked many times. But mine is a bit specific. So I post my situation here:

I am using a X10i on baseband .54, running Froyo ROMs from the great DEVs here in XDA.

I have been on rendeiro's [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] with the camera fix and everything runs great! Downloading Apps from Market were perfectly fine using both Wifi (at work and home) and 3G.

Then I decided to give other ROMs a try, such as rendeiro's scamble_v01.2[CM6.1.3] and Wolf's CM 6.1.3 [V006]. I flashed the ROMs through the step-by-step instructions given by the DEVs. However, I have experienced the same problem: I can access Market using both 3G and Wifi, however, downloading from Market only works using 3G but never Wifi. It stucked at the "starting to download".

I have tried all the suggestions I could find here such as clearing the data and cache for the gapps, etc. But nothing worked.

Now I am back to rendeiro's [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] and everything works well again. Luckily I have made a backup using Xrec.

I would still want to find out the root cause for this Wifi issue so that I can try other ROMs in the future with a peace of mind.

Thanks!

Hello, i need to uninstall Miui Gingerbread to install the official Gingerbread, i'm much more used to it, how can i do it?? Already tried to clean up the data and system and tried the Sam's firmaware last gingerbread but it would not worked.. Is it possible to downgrade to 2.2 and then install 2.3.3??

Greetings
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ADeadlySpoon:
Yes it is possible to downgrade for 2.3.3 to 2.2(.1 in my case)

I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I basically followed the instructions to install MIUI, but for a 2.2 ROM, so wiping data, system and cache, then flashing a darky ROM (but should work with any tbh)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itskapil:
Dead easy. Just install the Samsung Android 2.3.3 XWJVB ROM (link - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xwjvb-gingerbread-rom-gaalxy-s/)

But before you install XWJVB, install the EZRom to remove/uninstall the MIUI. It's available in two versions, select the one you want:

Android 2.2 based EZRom - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/

Android 2.3 based EZRom - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-rom-v3-0-full-installation-guide-w-video/

Credits and Thanks to Nitr8 for great EZRoms ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shivajibanerjee:
All you need to do it , Flash the Official GB FW , using Odin (Repartition just to be sure)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarkyG82:
+ check bootloader. And use 512 pit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
take a look at the darkys thread ;) There's a complete solution for your problem. Just work the manual down and you'll gain the ultimate gingerbread experience in green :P Fully with root and deodexed and so on ;)

Did you rename your backup? If so, chances are that you either used spaces or odd characters and the caused the failure.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suppressor:
Hello,

I noticed this problem today, at first I thought it was a Rom or App related (I even unloaded voodoo) so during testing I did a full reboot and had the phones rear speaker against my ear with it facing a mirror... As soon as the samsung boot logo came up (the first one) the rear speaker was active and it kept making this "hissing" sound. (like the sound you hear from large speakers when the power is on but there's no audio input.

The sound is very low and you can only notice it when the speaker is near your ear, now is this normal behavior ? does your sgs do this too? any solution?

during my search for a similar problem I found some thread on cyanogen saying it's samsung related and that it was fixed on later versions (Froyo and up) that doesn't seem to be the case for me...

my device is as follows:

SGS I9000

Rom Darky 9.5 froyo 2.2.1

Kernel Speedmod k13e (latest) with voodoo sound

PDA XWJS8

Phone XXJVO

CSC: Unknown/none

Build info 2011.03

any help on this issue is much appreciated, I don't want to wake up to the day where my speaker is fried :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
Hi suppressor;

Exactly the same situation here. We have 3 SGS i9000,all of them have the same problem. I tried several firmwares but nothing changed.Now I am trying the ServiceMode-Audio configurations.

Did you find a solution?

I have the latest Europe firmware (v2.3.4 - I9000XXJVP) but still have the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suppressor:
Do the people you talk to on the phone complain about not hearing you well due to low voice? Make sure by listening to a recorded conversation
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
The people i talk have no complains about low voice or noise.I tested it with changing phones in a call with my friend. My problem is in my site. In a call i always hear radio interference sound on the background. It is coming from the rear speaker because it is always on. This sound is so loud that i hear it from the ear-speaker hole. Do you have any interference sound ?
[EVO 4G General] mikel719:
Ok, so I was in the virus kingdom rom thread and seen this asked a couple of times.

I found this info on another site, I'll past the link in a few but here are the instructions...

So how’s it done? Well, the instructions are actually fairly straightforward, and come courtesy of tipster/redditor natemckn:

Root is required. Make a Nandroid backup! (I accidentally deleted by build.prop file and bootlooped my phone)

Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)

In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes

Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)

Open & edit /system/build.prop

Change the following lines to make your phone think it is a HTC G2:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=tmobile

ro.product.name=vision

ro.product.device=vision

ro.product.board=vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Reboot the phone

Install the netflix apk (if you haven’t already)

Enjoy

Update: Apparently you don’t need to do the lines that are crossed out in Step 6 – only the product model and manufacturer need to be changed.Also, it appears that this is hit-or-miss at the moment. Works for some, partially (but not really) for others.

Heres the link,, if its not clickable its because I'm doing this from my phone, so copy and paste.

You might not have to do all this, I just heard the official netflix app is on the market now. I'm going to go check.

This is for the new netflix app that just came out. Some roms won't play video.

[Captivate General] CGfreak102:
so I got a Samsung captivate from my friend. and was planning on rooting it and either using it as a game phone. or giving it to my friend.

background :

most likely has water damage. was out in a damp area.

finicky micro USB port.

issue :

will not boot with out USB cable plugged in.

boots just fine into 2.2, with cord plugged in, already got phone rooted and everything else works fine, just that odd boot issue.

Question :

Anyone know why this could be going on, I'm thinking water damage but I remain skeptical.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Just curious what exactly you mean by it won't boot ... Like you get no response at all, or it stays on the at&t screen, or what?
[Captivate General] CGfreak102:
yeah, when the USB cord is unplugged and I hold down the power button, it stays at a black screen.

but when the USB cord is unplugged and I hold down power, volume up and down. it flashes a battery every 5 or so seconds with a loading icon in the middle. when I remove thumb from the power button it all goes black again.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] FelipeRRM:
Glad it worked. But hey, I Thought Trip didn't use SE's stock dialer. Does he have a 2.2 stock? Thought he only had 2.2 MIUI :p

And can you people see the screenshots normally?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] psharifi.3746:
nice ... thanx
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] FelipeRRM:
Green Dialer added. This was a tricky one, the gradients ended up looking weird a lot of times, but I managed to make it look interesting. Green Dialer's zip also packs a modified icon, which has a green button in the middle intead of the original blue one. This will happen to also new dialers I add. I will make some more changing the color, I plan on adding Pink, Brown, Black, Yellow and Orange. After that I'll change the background and some other things. Have some very interesting ideas.

As requested previously, I added all the screenshots as attachments too, in the order their download links are on the first post. This means 1 screenshot is for the first link and so on. Glad you are enjoying. :D

@shahkam what do you mean by gingerbread dialer? You want that stock one? I think it looks so damm ugly :P I like SE's style much more. But I can try to make one in the future, thing is I'll do the other first, I'm with some great ideas right now.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shahkam:

Transparency-Mods Dialer

Howdy All,

As requested in my theme thread, here is my Transperancy-Mods Dialer / Contacts app.

ive attached 2 files

First one is ONLY the contacts.apk,

http://www.mediafire.com/?uu5ged5u8t645do

Second is the Conctacts app and the infiniteview app, as i thought it all looked funny without it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1ckzd9lzcyjb38m

as this is a work in progress, and i'll try to keep this updated. but cant garentee anything.

Also some of the images used in the contacts app are from the framework-res, so the ss may be a little bit different for you only the phone in the recent calls i have found so far....

Normal disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if you break your phone ect ect. oh and please dont mirror my files

Thanks pvyParts, added your dialers to the first post. If you don't mind, I've taken some screenshots of my own to post there, as I resize them and everything.

Guys, I also updated the red dialer, and added the modified icon to the file, hope you enjoy it.

And I also changed the site where images were located, as the old one was really slow, and photobucket is faster.

No worries mate,

Just noticed from your ss's I didnt take that bar off the stock one. Ill fix that tomorrow.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
what errors did ya get?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] icet925:
Thanks for the dialers!

Method for changing dialer:

1. Delete contacts.apk in \system\app\ folder

2. Reboot to xRecovery and clear dalvik cache

3. Install new contacts.zip with xRecovery then reboot

How do you delete contacts.apk?

I tried using the file manager but cannot do so.

Any pointers?

I have already done a full back up of everything.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Shouldn't have to mate just flash the zip.

Good to hear mate. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Works great on Trip's MIUI! Thank you soooo much!!! :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] FelipeRRM:
Glad you people are enjoyin the dialers. Hope some more will post here. To delete contacts.apk I use root explorer. It is found under system/apps
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
I didn't want to delete my Contacts.apk, so I took the apk from the zip, renamed it to seContacts.apk (could be anything actually)

and then pasted in system/app with Root Explorer, and set the correct permissions, of course. ;)

Let me note that if you replace the Contacts.apk and don't install InifiniteView, you won't be able to view contact details at all.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
So you have 2 dialer apps one normal one modded?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
I'm on MIUI, so, yeah, I have the stock MIUI Contacts and the modded Arc Phonebook. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Ah I c. So That won't work for me on wolfs. LOL. I like your background btw and love your work round here ^^

Pvy
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Aaaaaaah... NOW I get it!

It doesn't work for WB ROM because it already includes the Arc Phonebook (a.k.a same package name as the modded one, practically the same app).

But in MIUI, the Contacts.apk is a totally different app, that's why it works! :D

Thanks for your kind words! :)

PS: Did you check your PM?
