[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gessi2000:
We can not discuss about this as I am not the decision maker in my company but of course can suggest to move away from Exchange what they won't do for 100%.

All my previous companies were running Exchange by the way and it's not a point to talk about now.

I've done now what you suggested and imported my Exchange contacts to GoogleMail, deleted and unmarked for sync all contacts and accounts on my Samsungs Galaxy S2.

Resynced now first with GoogleMail only and then added the Exchange account for sync.

I can confirm that I get the birthday field now under the contacts.

Whyever the phone only shows the GoogleMail contacts with Icon and not any other (Active Sync, Skype, Facebook SNS) contacts anymore...

I am confused why they dont show up anymore...

Ahhh now I see... as I deleted my contacts from the phone it also wiped the Exchange contacts... great
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gessi2000:
OK... it's the same... only the imported contacts from GoggleMail have the birthday field.

When I create a new contact on my phone which is by default saved Exchange then I don't get this option to add a birthday... useless...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamajstro:
I have just received a message from Samsung concerning this problem. They say, they cannot promise that it will be fixed.

Oh, thats very nice. Thank you, very much. Once and never again. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaf2020:
If you would like to add a birthday to a contact, you need to:

Select the relevant contact

Select Edit

Select “Add another field”

Select “Events”

Then add the birthday

Hope this info helps

This has been posted before, but it's been a while and this issue is really frustrating me, and it wasn't resolved, so I figure I'll bring it back up.

When I use a launcher with an app drawer transition (LauncherPro, ADW, ANYTHING) I get a HUGE slowdown in framerate when using live wallpapers and pressing the app drawer button. Is this something to do with the live wallpapers not being optimized for Tegra II? Moto is not helpful because they just blame it on the launcher (MotoBlur doesn't have an app drawer transition animation, so there is no noticable lag). I have asked them and they say to report it to the app developer (LauncherPro etc). LauncherPro doesn't respond.

I think it is absolutely rediculous that I can't even use live wallpapers on this "powerful" phone without a huge frame rate reduction. Someone PLEASE help.

Thanks

Have you tried un/checking the "high quality scrolling" option in LP advanced settings?
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
I fixed that problem with mine by switching to a NS4G lol. Single core and twice as fast, go figure.

The Atrix is a great phone overall, and I miss it sometimes but wouldn't trade back for a minute. Hopefully GB will help with it as it's supposed to support dual core better. I used to complain about the same thing.
[Atrix 4G General] Bracemg:

Hey I just flashed Syndicate Frozen yesterday and have not been able to get GPS to lock. I've reflashed it a few times, and one of those times it worked just fine but then it kept turning itself off every time the screen went dark, and I would have to remove the battery to turn it back on again.

Needless to say I've reflashed it a few more times and am still dealing with the GPS lock issue. Is there a fix for this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrrowley:
Great

Oh and I must say that other then the GPS issue, I think that this ROM is AWESOME!

[EVO 4G General] DjKurt:
Ok, so my girlfriend is having some problems with her phone and I thought I could swing some of this stuff by the board members for some expertise...

So basically what happened was, she was having some problems with her phone working very slow and getting laggy after compiling way too many text messages on her phone. When she tried to delete some of these text messages the phone wouldn't let her for some weird reason. She then took the phone in to some some sprint store and whoever worked on this thing told her he was going to wipe them directly from the SD card...

Ever since she is having problems where her phone won't even register when someone calls her... no ring, no screen pop-up, but she'll have a missed call notification when she misses the call...

The only other weird thing that I know of is I tried downloading a dj set for her on her phone over a wifi connection (around 55 MB) and it keeps saying download failed... I successfully did this for two other people on their phones as well as my own...

Any help would be appreciated, especially since she will love me to death if I can fix this for her... lol
[EVO 4G General] chamala2000:
I would sugest full wipe, that usually fixes lots of issues.

Do backup of her contacts and apps, turn off the phone and start up holding -vol and power bttn. than choose clear storage. That will bring the phone to the original stage like it come out from the box.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
no need to backup contacts really they should be stored on her google account
[EVO 4G General] DjKurt:
I know she'll ask me this one... will she lose her pictures and stuff???
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Pictures are stored on the SD card, so no.

If she has Angry Birds progress she wants to save, there are apps for that and they don't require root.

If she has a ton of apps, that could be slowing her phone down. Have her reinstall apps as she needs them instead of all at once.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Merken_:
Guys,

I've created a little app that plays the music from your music library.

By swiping left and right, you're able to switch songs.

Tapping will pause/play and stop songs.

I've attached V2.0 of the app that allows you to shuffle your playlist by shaking the phone.

It also supports playlists, choose your playlist and shuffle through songs.

Finally, i've added a little 'News' notification, that shows you a pop-up at a couple of minutes before the hour.

These features are available in the 'Settings' screen.

I've created this application for my own personal use, but I'd like to share it with you guys.

I have to drive several hours to work, and wanted an App that allows me to switch songs more easily then to hit the volume rocker and click a small '>>' icon to switch songs.

The background is black, to improve batterylife so you can leave the app running while you're driving =)

Some conditions :

Your windows phone MUST be developer unlocked (I will post this to the marketplace soon)

All currently playing songs must be paused or stopped before launching the app

You MUST have at least one song in your library, the app will exit on launch if you don't

Feedback is appreciated ;)

Have fun

Ok I got the apk and pushed it with adb. Now the big question is it possible to modify the apk so it opens Google navigate instead of vznavigator. Please someone tell me there is hope.lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
Why not try Car Home from the Market. I have it on my phone and very happy with it. much better than Google or Samsung dock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:

Its very customizable add whatever apps you want.

Also you can use setting profiles from the market and make it load and close when you put it in or take it out of the dock.

Works slick!
[Verizon Droid Charge] octomobiki:
is it just me? I am unable to find car home on the market (on the phone) - and when I go to the market, I can't push it to the phone. how are you guys downloading it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
Not sure why you are not able to find it on the Market. It is listed as CarHome Ultra. You get 30 days free trial then you but license yo use after. WELL WORTH IT!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] octomobiki:
wait a second, car home ultra isn't by google...."car home" is a google application, "car home ultra" is by "thespinninghead".

I'll kindly pass on this one ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] flintdragon:
Spent a week with it. So useful and can totally see where a tablet fits into my life. Unfortunately, build quality issues will have me returning it back to Walmart. Sad to see it go though. Maybe will come back to this one since features are the best. New Samsung one looks very nice as well but loses some features that I might need.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blazablaz:
What was wrong with yours?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fafrehugen:
yes, ive been thinking of getting one, but ill have to order online

what sort of issues did you have?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flintdragon:
The biggest issue is light bleeding from the bottom edge (in landscape mode). So bright and some on other edges too. Also it creaks everywhere. Friends pick it up and immediately notice the shoddy manufacturing. As an OS, it is awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flintdragon:
one thing about the design of the TF101... other than the oft complained about sharp edges, do the power/volume buttons seems a little cheap as well? I don't have much experience with other tablets, but these feel a little like the ones on cheap electronics in past years.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bigsam411:
I have not had many issues with creaks, but while the screen is great to look at I too have much light bleed and there is a random blotch on the screen that is noticeable in darker screens. lastly I noticed a stuck/dead pixel also in a dark screen but that is too small to care about. I will be exchanging mine once best buy gets more stock though.

I do love the tablet very much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fastfood8891:
i have the same light bleed issue but none of the creakiness. i don't see how they can let that happen on so many devices where one of the main selling points is the high quality display.

the most irritating thing for me is that whenever i boot it up or play a video on mute an odd crackle comes out of the speakers. i just don't understand why that has to happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lisnup65:
Mine is going back to BB right after the weekend. Its not a bad tablet, but my old G-tab kicks this things ass all over the place. I find it to be slow at doing most everything compared to the g-tab. No benefit for the money and that stupid propritory usb cord at the bottom of it. Looked promising, but for the money I will buy more g-tabs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I'm not noticing any of that, mine is well built and beautiful, and no light bleed. Maybe you just got a bad one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
Mine has a tiny bit of light bleed on the bottom when in landscape mode. But it's absolutely not a deal breaker by any means. You guys have super high standards or something. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] meatlocker:
Not to diss you, bro, but that is some ridiculous sh!t right there. I have the GTab, Xoom, and the Transformer. The only thing 'better' about the GTab is that there has been more time to develop on it, so the options are more varied for root/kernel/ROM activities. The TF101 is already well on it's way there (and it is brand new).

Hardware-wise...there is no comparison. I've got two words for you: viewing angle.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sgbdeals:
Agreed... I HATED my GTab for those viewing angles (or lack thereof)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aamon17:
100% Agreed! My GTab screen is horrible. The screen alone on my TF is well worth it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] richB7:
Interesting, just got mine today and absolutely no light bleed, no creaks. Seems solid to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Mine doesn't creak. I read in the FAQ (in the stickies) that if yours creaks, exchange/RMA it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Youre holding it wrong!!!!! You're suppose to squeeze it and not hold it!!!! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
Honestly, I have quite the opposite experience with my TF. My TF feels as solid/sturdy as any other tablet I've held and I was actually pleasantly surprised when I received it. Some minor light bleed from one of the corners, but I didn't even notice it until I inspected it and any iPad I've ever seen has had much worse.

Not to say you didn't have a bad unit possibly, just don't want people to get the wrong idea. I love my TF and am more than satisfied with it's build quality. If build quality is an issue for you, I'd be careful with the new Samsung. Their devices all feel cheap shoddy to me at least.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Ditto on all of that from me :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Asus did mention quality issues as the reason for the shipment delays, i will be getting another one in June so i'll see then

Overall, i am happy with it, mine does creak, but i can live with it, I did not want to invest alot of money in a tablet, i think $400 is an excellent price

Plus the interest in the device made me want to get it, the threads are really popular

and if the build quality on the models in the summer is better and it eliminates the creaks , i will send it in under warranty

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VisualOddity:
Ok, so this has bothered me since I got my Tab, and I'd like it to not anymore lol...

I have a TMo Tab, and it really bothers me that it has it's own number. In theory it's fine, but the fact that I now have a completely different number to get texts on is inconvenient. Some people text me on the number they have had for years, and some on the number for the Tab (my wife randomly uses both). What I would like is to use my normal phone number (the one I've had for years) for all my texts, the problem is that the phone sucks and I'd MUCH rather receive and reply to those texts on my TAB.

Is there any way to make it so texts sent to my phone also come to my Tab, and that the replies on the Tab come back to the person from my phone's number?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trondjl:
You might forward your old phone number to you tabs and then switch sims. Then calls will come to the phone and texts to the tab, and texts sent from the tab will have the right sender. Only problen is that your calling number from the phone will the tabs number. But anyway no matter what number your friends will call, it will ring your phone.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarLog:
If you swap sims as stated above, the phone number will follow the sim.

That is an alternative for you.

Personally, Just flash your tab and make the modem work for voice, then put your other phone sim in the tab and enjoy great texting,, and good calls thru a Bluetooth device. Works for me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdtshaw:
Check out Sync SMS on the market. Uses dropbox to sync texts. Send via your phone from the tab. I have it on my tab and incredible, been pretty solid.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
ok well download the android SDK tools and isntall all the USB drivers. Unplug your USB cable and change the port from the one you are using, boot your phone into download mode, once in download mode fire up ODIN v 1.7 and plug your phone in, it should find it in odin, once you can see it in odin you should be able to continue flashing EZbase and then onto Cyanogen if that is what you were trying to do :)

ya unfortunately you have to install java. so maybe your phone isn't being recognized because your doing it in the wrong order....try this before you install anything, unplug the phone, boot into download mode, fire up odin then plug the phone in. you should see it on some com port on the top left

Ok; Java installed, ran SDK Manager and added Google USB Driver for Windows, Revision 4. [ as developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html ], which is in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver

The directions provided by google (url above) suggest plugging the phone in first. This installed the samsung drivers automatically, however.

Odin3 1.7 now showed a port; but the flash stalled at 'SetupConnection..'

I tried using 'update driver' via Device Manager, but all that i see is;

Modems -> SAMSUNG Mobile Modem

Universal Serial Bus controllers -> SAMSUNG USB Composite Device

Neither would update with the drivers in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver

Ok try flashing just a kernel go to the Dev section and find a kernel from hardcore it is called speedmod kernel. That should flash in 20 seconds or so. Flash the froyo one he has one for gingerbread so don't use that one they are separate threads so its easy to tell which is which
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggaahh:
:( ..now if i try to turn the phone on it shows a phone and a PC with a /!\ warning symbol between them, and i can't boot in to recovery mode. I CAN boot into download mode, and the PC makes a noise to acknowledge something has been connected, but Odin doesn't see it.

EDIT: I reinstalled Keis, and selected 'install drivers' on the menu from within the app.. this meant Odin was able to see the phone and i have sucessfully (apparently) updated the kernel to speedmod froyo. The phone is back to the 'Galaxy S' screen again. Now what? How long should the phone take to boot if it is sucessful (ie. how long should i wait before restarting?)

EDIT 2: Ahh, EZbase flash worked too! :D.. thank F, a working phone!

So i guess the key was to get the drivers (again) from the submenu in the Keis App NOT the android SDK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Glad it worked out, sorry it took so long to reply, ya after you get a kernel on there then you need to flash a rom again, which is exactly what you did :) later
