I bought the exomount about 6 months ago, I like it. No problems at all. The one thing that's a pain is that you need to use both hands to put the phone in or out of it. Its nice though because you can attach it to any flat surface

We're comin from a pure power source.

anything have experience with the fonus mount? looks like a nice mount ..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbaggio:
Hello,

I recently purchased the Galaxy S2 phone and one things that annoys me is that if you have a friends that belongs in multiple social networks, you can't join them all to his main phone contact. For example i have a friend's gmail contact on my contact list and i want to join his other contacts from facebook, twitter, last.fm, skype, myspace, whatsapp, linkedin etc.. (for those who don't know, by installing the official social app on your android you get the option to list those contacts on your phone contact list)... Well the problem is that when i try to join a 6th contact i get the message "unable to join contact. maximum number of joined contacts is 5"

I know most of you will problably say use another app for your contacts but i really wanna know if anyone finds it annoying and has found workaround... maybe a tweak to increase the limit, an upgrade or another app that adresses this issue....I really don't wanna use a 3rd party app for my contact list...

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Dennis

I don't mean gmail contacts i mean gmail conacts with other social network contacts...for example a gmail contact with facebook, skype, linkedin, twitter last.fm etc...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
i would be interested as well.

i use google contacts, facebook, twitter, google+, skype and facebook is listed twice, once for its own app, once for social hub and i recently found, some of my contacts that in fact use all the services cannot be merged into one contact anymore, as that would mean, merging 6 contacts.

the sgs2 has great social networking integration, but why set this stupid limit that serves no one? the feature of merging contacts is supposed to combine all online activity of one person into one contact.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athar Mansoor:
+1 on this..

There should be some way to increase the counter on the number ( or remove it completely) for the number of contacts that can be joined..

As the number of social/communication apps grow so do the contacts on those that you would want to link

I couldn't figure out why the facebook one is listed twice - I was going crazy!! Should both be joined?

Also, I have a contact that has a twitter account and when I click on "join contact" I don't see their twitter account to select to join... how do I do this?

Go to twitter settings and under other settings choose sync all for "Contact settings"

Go to your contacts app and the twitter contact should be there now to link to other contacts (if not then press the menu hard key, go to more, display options, and tick all contacts under twitter)

Once you're done syncing, you can untick display all twitter contacts to hide unnecessary ones and can go back to twitter and change contact sync to existing contacts to minimise data usage

Also social hub is a stupid app, just replicates what the official facebook app does, if i were you I would remove your facebook account from social hub and you won't have duplicate facebook contacts then
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aothehiddenone:
I had this issue too.

I solved it on my s2 with JB 4.1.2 (you can find it here).

Never tryed with any other firmware versions, so i can't be of any help there....

You will need root your phone (here all the informations you need).

Then, with a file manager with root permissions, go to /system/csc.

You will find others.xml, open it and add this line before the </FeatureSet> tag.

<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>x</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>

The x, of course, is the max number of contacts you can join.

Save and close the file, then change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (don't change the owner).

Reboot and you are done!

One final note, the first time i did this i set the max number of contacts to 20 and the little icons near the names of the contacts disappeared (but everything worked fine).

Changing the value to 9 fixed this, than i changed again to 15 and it worked too.

I don't know what cause the icons to disappear, i'm just happy now they are all there!

[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
It's not much, but I thought everyone should be able to theme their Framework :)

Requirements: WinZip(or any other zipping program), Android SDK, testsign, some graphics editor...

NOTE: This will work with theme apk's as well !!! :D

So what you need to start with is your framework files:

framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk ... both are located in SYSTEM:framework/

These files are just renamed zip files, so rename them back to .zip and extract them (you can also edit them inside WINRAR or something, but it is more comfortable if you extract them)

In these, images are usually saved in res/drawable-mdpi or such, but you have to think here, allways modify all files from one resource ;)

Now locate the images you want to edit but I only know how to edit .png files (.9.png files are for a different howto, probably not by me as I've never really mastered it)

Pick those you want to edit, and edit them (I'm not gonna tell you how here, I usually use photoshop to do that ;) )

Once you have edited those images, it is recomended to optimize those png's (Firstly to make them smaller, but more importantly, most of the times the png's from Windows graphics editor didn't work for me...)

To optimize png's you can use:

OptiPNG: DOWNLOAD This one is drag'n'drop batch conversion capable...

Pngcrush: DOWNLOAD Command line utility, but it has more settings

...or something else, but I find these two the best

Once you have these optimized, copy and re-write them to folders you took them from to edit...

Now you need to zip these back, for framework files I was told it is usual to zip them as "store", but correct me someone if I'm wrong.

After you have zipped those, they will have to be re-signed. To do this, use testsign from code.google.com

Then run this in cmd line (or create a .bat file as I did, it's much easier):

java -classpath testsign.jar testsign [COLOR="DarkRed"]file.zip[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkRed"]file-signed.zip[/COLOR]

Now that you have signed it, it is recomended to zipalign it:

(zipalign.exe is located in /tools in your SDK)

Run this in cmd line:

zipalign 4 [COLOR="DarkRed"]infile.zip[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkRed"]outfile.zip[/COLOR]

(4 is alignment in bytes)

Now that you have aligned the .zip, rename it to the original name and then you just need to push it back to your phone:

adb shell mount /system
adb push [COLOR="DarkRed"]com.htc.resources.apk[/COLOR] /system/framework/[COLOR="DarkRed"]com.htc.resources.apk[/COLOR]

or

adb push [COLOR="DarkRed"]framework-res.apk[/COLOR] /system/framework/[COLOR="DarkRed"]framework-res.apk[/COLOR]

And you're done :)

I hope this helps someone! Enjoy!

note: This way you should be able to modify any apk I think :)

Very good.

Good initiative, thank you.

Lets hope that others will follow your example and contribute in this community,we need it.
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
One question... can i change the framework if i'm s-on? And if yes how? flash it through recovery or how?

LE: Thx for the info. I found out how to edit themes... i will create a cool one to upload here. I could edit the framework.....but i am s-on so no use for that.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Unfortunately, when you're unrooted, you can't push files to your system...

But this will work for those Theme apk's too... so grab a theme you like and you can edit it as easily as you would your framework ;) It has a limited potential, but it's something for you S-ON users :)
[HTC Desire S] rogbese:
Hmm, I skipped the push part and copied the file back over the one in the phone. Now my phone is stuck in a continuous loop on the "quietly brilliant" screen.

Any help? Where do I get a stock rom to flash?
[HTC Desire S] deanr1977:
Just enter recovery & factory reset,wipe, then wipe dev cache, then reflash your rom that you were using before the bootloop.

You can even swap icons in the framework of your rom then just flash (if you try to swap framework.apks or dialer.apks using a file manager you will delete or swap the file but this will cause loads or errors & force closes & then result in your bootloop!) Then just swap via a computer within the zip file then just flash in recovery as normal & if done right you wont get bootloops
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchexe:
I've gone through as many battery threads as I possibly can for quite some time now trying to find out if my Nexus is acting as it should. I think it's draining battery too quickly, but that might just be me.

I'm running CM7 Nightlies (currently on 93) with IR's latest AVS kernel. I have SetCPU running at 960max, 245min ondemand. WiFi and BT are off, but controlled by Tasker and 3G is on.

My phone has been on battery for 5 hours and is at 78%

I have background sync on, Twitter and Facebook updates set to 1 hour.

I own 2 extra batteries for my N1 that I keep constantly charged.

I've attached some screenshots, just looking for a little advice. Is this normal, or should I expect better?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdschnck:
I am getting that same (ballpark) battery performance for 17 months now.

I have spent time tweaking and trying different things, and improvements can be made, but you are reporting very normal numbers here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Completely disagree. Look at the second picture. Your phone is not sleeping properly. Your phone is awake waaaaaay more than your screen is on. Some app (looks possibly to be a system app) is keeping your phone from sleeping and thus killing your battery. Also, it looks like your phone signal was pretty weak (in your battery stats graph). Are you in a good coverage area? Also, are you keeping GPS on? GPS is a major battery killer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KAwAtA:
losing 22% in 5 hours isn't too bad.. I also feel like it's the normal. My phone lasts maybe longest around 30-40 (with light usage if im texting a lot, it'll die way faster and calls kill it too) hours and i have background sync/facebook/twitter etc. And.. where did you get your extra batteries? Hopefully you're testing it with the battery that came with your phone. The cheap ones i got from ebay last about half as long as the stock *im too cheap to pay about $40 for a real battery, the cheaper ones work fine for me!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Something is wrong, your phone is not sleeping from the second screen shot.

If I don't use my nexus, I can go 5 hours and still have 96% with no screen on time.

Something is keeping your phone awake.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchexe:
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm working night shift, so I can't respond until the wee hours of the morning.

GPS is off but being controlled by Tasker (i.e. when Maps or other apps that use GPS load it turns on, and then turns off when I exit the app) As for coverage, I'm downtown Toronto for work, but I think the building I'm in gets spotty coverage at best. Not sure how to tell to be honest. How can I determine what system app is keeping my phone awake?

Batteries are all from HTC directly. I had "problems" with my original and had them ship some replacements under warrenty ;)

How can I tell what's causing my phone not to sleep. I always see the awake bar full and knew it was a problem, hence my post.

For example today I've been off battery for 2.5 hours and I'm at 90%. New screens attached.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Why not put the phone in 2g mode? Having 3g on in a building with bad signal coverage will most certainly cause the battery to drain fast.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchexe:
I could do that but I'm not always in the building. The main issue still seems to be the phone is always awake. How can I figure out what's causing that?

Well I'm back (went away on vacation) and I'm not really sure how to interpret my results. The battery still hasn't gotten better, and my phone is still showing as awake more than it should be. I'm assuming that some of the awake time would be always awake during Wi-Fi when I'm at home?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
doesnt look too bad, but you do have a lot going on with your phone. what was your screen-on time for this charge period?

the only thing i can think is start over with a reset, and install only your important apps. FYI my system panel list for 1 day period only shows about 10 items or less, because i run a very slimmed down phone. last year i used to have many apps setup, like yours, and my list looked like that. and my battery life was poor, idle use with screen off and it would drain for no reason.

after i reset and slimmed down, now it is very efficient, only loses 1% every 1-2 hours. so much better.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchexe:
I think that may be best. I did a full reset and restored most apps with Titanium Backup and I've had even worse results.

When you say slimmed down phone, do you have any games, or social apps? Also what are your thoughts on background data and auto refresh intervals?

I'm also using S2E for apps2ext, 2GB ext4 partition. That shouldn't contribute to the issue right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i just have a couple games like angry birds and air control, and dont play them often.

here is what i do. i install current widget, and do tests that check my idle battery current in mA going thru the battery. so for example i charge to full, and unplug the phone overnight while i sleep and then check the logs in the morning. over 8 hours i lose about 5%, and the current was about 5-6 mA for most of the time. that is a properly idle usage and good working phone. during the day at work i get a weaker signal, so current usage might be 10mA or 12mA with screen off. that's still close to normal.

last year my phone was loaded with tons of stuff, and idle current was around 45 mA even with screen off, and i lost tons of battery doing nothing.

i dont limit anything now. i just let my 2 gmail accounts sync in real time, my calendar, etc. just a atraight regular setup. and i have about 80 apps installed, and i check my system panel frequently.

i honestly think if you cant get your current readings down, to start over, and let all your apps isntall fresh and see how it goes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchexe:
Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

I've had it off the charger now for 6 hours and it's mainly been sitting at home on Wi-Fi the entire time, GPS on (forgot to turn it off) and I'm at 82%.

No calls, couple SMS, checked a few emails, playing Wordfeud on and off.

I'll slowly install things again and see how it goes like you suggested.

Barring that maybe this battery actually is shot. I'll try one of my other ones and see how that fairs.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czwxyz:
I am a AT&T prepaid user. Can I use the Atrix 4G in it without data plan? I only use Wi-Fi which is much faster.

The AT&T shop assistant man told me that I will not be able to use it if I do not open any date plan. If I am a prepaid user I can not use the phone; If I am a postpaid user I will be notified to add a data plan after I insert the SIM card into the Atrix 4G which is a smartphone.

Currently I also use a smartphone in AT&T network and does not commit any data plan. The phone works great. The shop assistant said the reason is that Atrix 4G is a AT&T phone and will be recognized by AT&T and force to open a data plan.

I do not know whether I should believe him for may be he is just trying to sell me more expensive plans. Is it technically possible to ban prepaid users? Is there any way to avoid this restriction? Since the Atrix 4G smartphone is bought in full price and unlocked, I do not owe AT&T anything. It works in T-Mobile, but does not works in AT&T prepaid, which seems very rediculous.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ririal:
If you use a pre-paid SIM on an smartphone on AT&T, they will slap a data plan onto your account and you will be expected to pay it. I've seen it happen multiple times before.

Be careful when trying to break policy.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tao_Man:
Well my girlfriend has an iPhone prepaid on ATT (my old one)with no data plan, so it is possible I would think for the Atrix to be used prepaid. But I really do not know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
Unfortunately, AT&T scans the IMEI numbers of all the phones on their networks occasionally and if they find any smartphones without data plans they add one without any warning. If you want to use a smartphone without Data, look at T-Mobile. They're the only one you can really do it on.

Sucks, and I think there should be some sort of law about that since there's no physical requirement of smartphones to have data, but thats how it is.
