[Galaxy S II General] bocsta:
I just found this page http://www.syncdroid.net/

Incredible... I have to f@#k around with 40 pieces of software for a solution

The best phone cant even talk to one of the most widely used pieces of software

My very first windows phone at least did contacts flawlessly..I remember purchasing some software to sync notes...BUT that was 8 years ago!!

I've never had any Apple products because I dont like being told which way to do things and now Google seems no better

What a let down
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You probably won't like this but there's a solution. For about $10 a month you can use an Exchange hosting service. In addition to all the syncs you're looking for you get true push e-mail and don't have to use any of the Google apps. It's elegant but not free.
[Galaxy S II General] jpasint:
Look for Gsyncit I think its called.

exchange active sync works for me. i get all my email on my android
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
Sorry man, thanks to all these corporations wanting to own your sould they do their best to keep you from being able to move cross platform. A real pia and yeah, people here don't seem to get that many organizations do not want any of their stuff going across third party data harvesting outfits (i.e. gmail) and they are not going to change any time soon. IMO you either deal with the crap workarounds or move on because things have been stagnant on this front from the start, there has been little movement up till now, and no sign of any real improvement in sight.
[Galaxy S II General] Ingvarr:
You don't need "crap workarounds" with Samsung Android phones - they Outlook sync either via USB or WiFi using Kies just fine. And this sync completely bypasses Google.

Its not a feature of Android in general, but something Samsung adds to their customized Android builds.
[Galaxy S II General] lauchon:
Nitrodesk

my friend, the best tool to manage outlook, is TouchDown from nitrodesk.
[Galaxy S II General] GeorgeP:
I use Gsyncit. I works very well.
[Galaxy S II General] mightbme:
I'm in the same boat...just moved from winmo and thought it would be easy....no it doesn't sync with kies just fine
[Galaxy S II General] bocsta:
Try Kies...it's not as intuitive as the almost invisable active sync

I have got my contacts accross although multiple address books look to have not been kept separate

I also havent check that 100% of whats in outlook has come accross as there are multiple fields

Pros coming across from WinMo:

- smooth op system

- havent pulled my battery once yet ..just as well as the cover is made of paper

Negs

- all that battery sucking stuff functions better, is easier to turn on and leave on so the juice dissapears just like before
[Galaxy S II General] mightbme:
Thanks Henri :)

I was ready to throw my new phone against the wall till I found this.

[Galaxy S II General] kitch9:
Install Google calender sync on your PC, that will sync Outlook to your Gmail account.

Then set your phones calender to sync to that same Gmail account and all will be handled automatically for you.

For free, may I add.
[Galaxy S II General] bocsta:
"Local" sync with active sync doesnt require any "sharing" with microsoft in the cloud which is why people dont want to share with google in the cloud

why should you have to get a Gmail account just cos you have a Android phone?
[Galaxy S II General] kitch9:
Just use Kies then, I used it for a while with no real issues.

I always forget to hook up my phone so its just handy for me for everything just to be there, regardless of where I am and what I'm doing.

Out of interest, do most people skip the process of making a Gmail account when first setting up their phone?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThickG:
So, I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to change the screen resolution that the you're asked to input when connecting your Atrix to a screen for the first time. The only thing I've been able to come up with to do this is via hard-reset (I'd rather not) or connecting to another HDMI tv (not available to me at the moment).

Any suggestions?

BTW, I am rooted and running stock ROM.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThickG:
Nevermind, I found my answer. In case anyone is interested, all I did was use TiBu to wipe the data of the "mobiledesktop" system file. This reset the webtop screen settings and allowed me to change the resolution.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Hello,

Can you elaborate a bit further?

By TiBu you mean Titanium Backup I presume?

If so, I don't see any MobileDesktop system file.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
I have received two very unusual texts that don't seem to make much sense to me.

Not entirely sure what this one is referring to. I don't use Sprint Voice mail because I use Google Voice. So my voice mail messages should be on that instead. I've never even bothered to set up the Sprint voice mail as I never have any intention of using it.

Not entirely sure what this one means. Googling it showed that it meant a text was successfully sent and for some reason my phone didn't filter out the message. I didn't send a text when I received this one though.

Both of these were sent from the phone number 9016. Looking it up this seems to be a Sprint number of some sort. I asked some other Sprint Android users if they got anything similar, and they had not. So is anyone else with a Nexus S 4G getting weird texts like this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Sounds like sprint spam. That's weird that your phone is displaying code. I'd just ignore it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
I just received this today also. Messages exactly same as the OP and on the same phone and carrier ...

Not sure what it is all about either .. any detailed answers?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
the message is how sprint handles visual voice mail. did you happen to have a phone before that had visual voice mail and never reset your voice mail settings when you got your nexus?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Joeykrim, big fan.

Try going to messaging app and do the following: send a text to 9999 and as the message type: Block 9016. You will get a text confirming blockage of that #

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
Had an Evo for 29 days, but I'm brand new to Sprint beyond that. I never set up any voicemail beyond Google Voice though.

Haven't had another instance of these texts yet though, so I'm just assuming a glitch on Sprint's side.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchd:
multiple 9016 text messages.

I think i have found a fix for this annoying problem.

Ive found that it happens when u install some other text message app to handle your text messages instead of the stock messaging system.

I believe the 9016 messages are suppose to be hidden or silent messages and not actually get displayed, but when you set another program to handle all the messages, it doesnt know its not suppose to display it.

*So the FIX that i found that works is to,

tell the new text message program to Not Disable other message notifications. Meaning, remove the check mark associated with that option.
[G Tablet Accessories] bobkoure:
It looks to be ideal: packs up small (thinner than the original non-adjustable version) - but I'm wondering if the "slot" part is too narrow for a gtab as it's supposedly for an itablet 2.

If there was a local store with it, I'd go try/buy it there, but there isn't.

Here's a link (let's see if I'm allowed to post a link yet)

[G Tablet Accessories] brettdwagner:
From the photos I'm willing to bet it won't fit. I got this stand and really like it for holding up a naked gtab.

[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.

i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.

cheers
[HTC Desire S] proxuser:
cm7 for incredible s is on the way. i think, it will complete for desire s in 1 month too.
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news :D
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
as do i...
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Then why in the world did you guys buy an HTC phone?
[HTC Desire S] deadwilder:
for hardware?

i'm waiting for aosp too :)
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Hmm... It is pretty great piece of hardware :) but Sense is great IMO :D (and no, I'm not an HTC employee :D)
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..

I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:

the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...

Stock contacts are ugly.

GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)

CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_

So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
there was one thing i didn't like about the nexus s. had i been able to use my 32GB microsd card, i would've gone for the nexus s.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first ;) Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense :-)

I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That would be EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
i was sorta kidding, but yes it would be. so would an actual port of WebOS :D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.
[HTC Desire S] Ep1cF4il:
had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).

If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.

Peace
[HTC Desire S] SiL3nTKiLL:
sense ftw!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive :P

But personally, Sense is the thing! :P
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolverine73:
Hi everyone,

Just a little problem with the dialer on the Dell

I use Go Dialer/ Go Contacts when making a call but whenever a call ends i get put straight onto the stock dialer on my phone and have to back out of this too.

Only a buttons press but annoying all the same.

Is there anyway i can finish a call without this issue?

Thanks for any help.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
It's not a bug , it's a feature. :confused: In other words it's working as designed.

You can try an alternative dialer or the app Not Call Log or On Call End

Hi

This is a really wierd problem. Phone works fine all day. I plug it in at night and at some point during the night it loses signal and shows 'No Service'. The following day I have to reboot the phone to resolve it. I've reflashed the phone to no avail. I've tried the fix permissions thing. The only thing i havent done is wipe it. Any ideas anyone?

[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
You’ll need Tasker and 2 Profiles 1 for (Airplane Mode off) and 1 for (Airplane Mode On)

Profile #1

Click New…name it what ever you want & click ok…click Event then click Display & Display Off…keep Priority as is click Done

On Task Selection Click New Task and name it what every & click ok…click the + click Tasker & set…Wait 7 Sec & click Done or you can use MS. Click + again and hit NET and hit Airplane Mode and Set it to Off and hit Done

Now do the same thing for Profile #2 but on the Task part when click on Airplane Mode…instead of off…you set it to On.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
hi... this i swhat i am looking for

but can you wite it in better way ?

i kinda dont understand what u mean
[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
what part you don't get?
[Acer Iconia A500] BigWheeler:
i think i get it, so the point is to create 2 competing profiles, one that turns airplane on and one that turns it off, both occurring 7 seconds after the display shuts off? Do I need to worry about this messing with my unit's wifi turning on and off when the display shuts off?
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i dont understand this

On Task Selection Click New Task and name it what every & click ok…click the + click Tasker & set…Wait 7 Sec & click Done or you can use MS.

i tried doing according to my understanding, but sudden screen on is still happening :(
[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
Airplane Mode turn off WIFI...but when you turn your A500 back on WIFI reconnect with in 2-3 sec.

On the Task Selection you'll hit (New Task) there you can put whatever name you want then hit Ok. Now hit the + you get a screen (Select Action Category) hit Tasker and then hit Wait and set it 2 7sec and hit Done. Hit the + again...should take you back to the same screen...but this time hit (Net) and you'll see Airplane Mode hit that, under Set it should say Off, On or Toggle.

I'll try to post screen shot's
[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
Give me about 30min or so and i'll pull the xml for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] soloxp:
Here you go just unzip. Just import these 2 profiles.

thx much

Is the Tasker App the one in market for $6.31
[Acer Iconia A500] 99gnome:
Since I bought tasker for my hd2 and have the screen-turning-on-again issue on my a500 as well, i tried this. And: it does not work for me. So everyone considering to buy tasker just for this job, be warned!

Anyway, I haven't improved the profiles to the max, but turning off wifi, turning on airplane AND turning off android background sync (i do the latter by hand atm) vastly improves battery life :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
Yup it is that one
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
Have you imported the 2 profiles above and they can be seen in the Tasker window?

Then check the 2 green "ticks" by both modes and then press "apply" Tasker will say "active" in the notification bar. should work after that, ive never had any probs with it.

Well I have no clue why. I can say I've only seen that error when trying to install Gingerbread apks on a Froyo system.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun0207:
I've been getting those errors as well. Not sure if its a Froyo/Gingerbread issue. I have Gingerbread on my Evo and Froyo on my Sprint Galaxy Tab. I use the same apps between both devices and they work.

What I have noticed is that, when I try and add any movies, comicbooks or apks when using my Galaxy tab connected to my iMac ...I get these errors on the apks and none of my comicbooks copy over to the card. But if I use a windows 7 computer or the windows 7 partition on my harddrive, most times they transfer.

I've also tried taking my memory card out of my tab and transferring the stuff from the cardreader on my iMac and it still doesnt work
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:

Hi, i'm facing a really annoying problem.

My browser takes ages to load a page. I mean, the top div gets loaded very fast (as you expect) but the rest takes about 1 minute or more to load the rest of the page.

I have this strange problem only if working in my notebook. With my mobile everything works like a charm.

Is someone in the same situation?

Is XDA doing some maintenance stuff or something?

Thanks
[About XDA developers] Banyon:
Was having this issue yesterday during work but today it seems to be gone. Could have been an issue with something down the line (DNS, regional routing, whatever) that just caused a temporary slow down.

Go to you profile page and set the sytle (at the bottom of the page) at xda classic

Now try to navigate... it is as fast as it should be.

At least, it is for me!
