[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChesterZZ:
Is there a way how I can stop my address book contacts birthdays from showing up in my calendar without removing their birth date ? I want it like in Sense, where the contacts have their birthdays filled out, but they're not showing up in the calendar (at least I had it like that in my Desire), since the calendar is already showing their birthdays from my gmail or facebook and I hate having duplicates there. Any ideas how to do this ? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChesterZZ:
Nobody has an issue with multiple birthdays showing up in their calendar ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitz85:
Some of my contacts birthday shows up multiple times from 2-3 times on some for them.

I like tha fact that they show but its abit annoying to see same birthday 3 times
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChesterZZ:
It is annoying, a lot, that's why I'm looking for a fix...

Hi all

can't post in the dev forum so i'm posting here instead. I have installed insanitycm009 and i love it so far, much faster than the previous insanity rom (none cm one) but i'm having some problems with random reboots.

I believe that it may have something to do with my filesystem as i was previously running ext4 on the last insanity rom. i loaded the ext4 manager app i have and it is unable to help me as i don't have a cf-root kernel installed. i am running glitch kernel v10.

ext4 manager shows my filesystems as follows:

/system = yaffs2

/dbdata = unknown

/data = unknown

/cache = yaffs2

as you can see the os is unable to identify the filesystems so i think this is the cause for the reboots. How can i fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
insanity cm is based on cyanogenmod 7

this is a custom built rom from the google sources that has nothing to do with other custom roms that are usually based on Samsung roms.

cm7 and miui and of course insanity cm need another type of kernel that is built to support a rom built in that fashion. the filesystem is also handled differently for example other partions are created and other filesystems used (yaffs for example) that means that probably the ext4 manager can't handle the environment. If you want to check what filesystems and partitions you have open the adb shell and type "mount" the same thing works in terminal emulator (an app from the market)

If there really was a problem with your filesystem that would cause you not to be able to read what it, the phone would probably not even boot.

read the insanity thread to see whether other people have the same problem or even a solution.

EDIT:

I know that's not really helpful, I'm sorry
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lembi2001:
thanks very much for your response.

I have had a quick look through the thread and have been unable to find anything remotely similar to what i am experiencing. (granted it was a quick look)

Don't suppose you have any thoughts do you as to what might be causing the reboots?

If i can't solve it i might just go back to a stock rom and see if i still get the reboots then.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
Hey guys, I'm working on an app for showing storage usage and currently have it running on the XOOM, it is now under heavy redevelopment and I would like to be able to get it on the Iconia too (curently working on Transformer support), all I need from someone is a screenshot of the folder structure of all external storage devices your device has connected.

For example, on the Transformer, I was given a screenshot of te structure inside the /Removable directory when all 4 external devices are connected I see 4 folders with different names.

I would also appreciate if you could just check that any of the directories in there are gone once the device is removed (or if they stay permenantly).

Thanks guys, and I hope the Iconia is looking after you all.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Here you go. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...AEI/2jE9yPMB6Ac/s800/screen_20110615_1310.png

The folders remain even when we remove the device.

sdcard is Internal Storage (with a dumb name)

extrenal_sd is the External SD card

usb_storage is the USB device

Edit:

This picture is with the USB plugged in and SD removed.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
Thanks, can you check if theyre linked anywhere like /data/media for example please? There must be another location where they do appear and disappear from as they are connected/removed.

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
/data/media points to Internal Storage I'll check to see if I can find another location for USB
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
Thanks, keep me posted.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I can't find it anywhere else.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
Is it plugged in? It's expected not to be there if it isnt. If it is and still nothing, thanks anyway, appreciate you looking.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I have plugged and checked with my SD card and with my USB drive. None of them are listed anywhere else (at least I haven't seen them).
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Thanks for trying to give us this for our tabs.

I've looked as well. Tried Root Explorer, Honeycomb File Explorer, And ES File Explorer. SD and USB cards in as well as out.

I can't find anything more than what bpivk has reported.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msc2010:
Hi folks,

thanks for the latest Unity ROM, awesome.

However, since setting up the google account on the phone, the calender is not displayed in HTV valender view, only PC Sync, an Echange account and Facebook. In other version of these Sense ROMs i could switch between these different calenders, and Google's also showed up !

Any suggestions ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havocnl:
Check you accounts & synchronisation settings, this works fine.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ChrisDownunder:
I'm a little disappointed with the standard Atrix mail widget. Just one entry and it's blank if there is no new mail. I'd love to know what people think are the best mail widgets that can work with Atrix. I'd like to find one that can handle a combination of POP, iMAP and Exchange Server. And it can list multiple entries and optionally list mail whether it is unread or not. I simply can't get K9 working with our Exchange Server, and my phone is rooted, so Email Widget and Pure Messenger don't work. The Touchdown widget is nice, but Touchdown doesn't integrate with GMail (iMap) or POP3. What do you think?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] daniel996:
Enhanced Email is supposed to provide a single inbox for Exchange/GMail/POP mail etc, but haven't tried it myself.

Cheers

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Enhanced E-mail is the bee's knees!!! The only E-mail app I use... all stock email programs, processes, universal inbox, etc. are frozen.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Fat Rat Bastard:
"Bee's knees??"

Dude, you must be like 90. Congratulations on keeping up with technology! :p
[HTC Wildfire S] Inbalj:
I set up my hotmail account using the (POP3/IMAP) option. Did a manual settings and I got a message that the account was set. When it tried to sync I got the following message:"Sorry! Mail has stopped unexpectedly. An error report will be sent to HTC. Please try again." It gave me the option of - Force close.

I can't open the mail since it announces the error message every time.

Anyone knows what to do about it? How to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
[REF] Manually change "sales code" (CSC selection) when multi-CSC won't allow you to

I've recently been getting annoyed with how, whenever I updated a firmware, on first boot the phone would still look for an invalid CSC code, which I had "removed" from the phone.

For example, none of the XEU CSCs currently available will allow you to change to / from XEU as those CSCs don't include other options. ... so if you've manually set your CSC to XEE using the *#272*IMEI# trick; there's no way to get back to XEU.

The solution is as follows: (yes, you need root)

1) Ensure the product code in your nvram.bin file is set how you want it, in this case XEU. (it's in the file twice, once on it's own and once at the end of the "I9100LKA" string. Both those should be at the end of line 215 of the file)

2) (and this is the new bit) - there's another file on the phone which stores the "Sales Code" - its the file that tells the phone what CSC to look for on first boot after flashing a firmware. This file doesn't change unless you can successfully use the *#272*IMEI# trick!

2a) Using a file browser that has root privileges, navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat"

2b) Open this file as a text document (making sure you're mounted R/W) and edit the string to whatever you want (in this case XEU). Note, you should only put in the 3 letter code, not the rest of the product code.

2c) Save the file and reboot the phone. Hey presto you're on a different CSC!

(and I *think* this trick works to change CSC (without actually installing one, obviously), without wiping the /data partition.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
wow great work
[Galaxy S II General] dazstoke:
ok maybe it's just me but I cannot locate the nvram.bin file anywhere????

I'm on ke7 cf rooted and using script manager to browse system, could u direct me pls as I am running around in circles here.

I found efs/imei and that is xeu but i'm stuck on abr somewhere and it's causing me a few probs.
[Galaxy S II General] c19932:
what and where is this "nvram.bin" file ? thanks
[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
Anyone can point to where is this nvram.bin file is located please? i am searching for it using root explorer till my eyes are blurry now...still cant find it

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] reb73:
^^

You cannot see the contents of efs unless you are rooted!
[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
With all due respect sir..yes I have root..but still can't locate the nvram.bin file. I found the rest but as per my understanding is...I need to change the value in the nvram.bin file aswell to make all this work.

Thanks again for all the help.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
My method on SGS1 was to use custom rom from rom kitchen open that and just change the required CSC folder and files with new folder and files zip back up and install .

Does not work yet on SGS 2 due to being unable to rezip and install custom roms .

Work around has just been to copy the relevant \CSC folder and two CSC files + SW conf file to phone deleting originals . Files have been ripped from original firmware nandroid backup .

Factory reset and all changed .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
Ok dokie...thanks for the explanation.
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
No, because there is no "nvram.bin" inside the latest (-> KE2, KE7, KF1) stock firmwares!

And changing only "mps_code.dat" won't do the trick as this will only create a new "nv_data.bin" after next reboot.

And if you would delete this new "nv_data.bin" (hoping that the files will be recreated/replaced at next reboot, this worked with SGS like this) you will end up with NO ProductCode and an fake IMEI too! So you should be VERY careful modding anything inside of /efs!
[Galaxy S II General] goodie:
I edited the nv data.bin as well from KOR to BTU is this not a wise thing to do on GS3?
[Galaxy S II General] ssnalagu:
Solution to Change sales code

How to change CSC sales code on Samsung Galaxy S2?

1.Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.

2.Select the CSC that you want.

3.Click Install.

4.Phone will be rebooted by itself.

5.That’s all.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] Magzl:
I need to change my CSC on GS3 too, that has been locked using *#272*Device IMEI# method.

Did you have any success? If so are you able to please share instructions?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] stevenmcw:
The main sites are Facebook & wiki

I know there is apps for both just would be nice not to have to swicth apps to find the same as info

This didnt used to happen i think it might be a setting ive overlooked
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 3105162:
Is this regular dolphin browser or dolphin hd? I havent had any problems with dolphin hd on these sites.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] stevenmcw:
HD version 5.1.0

Also seems to be the desktop user agent
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 3105162:
Desktop mode in past versions was buggy for me, havent tried it with version 5.x. If you can't resolve things I would try miren browser as it seems to handle non-mobile sites better for me. As a bonus it also seems to do flash better than dolphin.
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
I've some contacts that have multiple numbers associated.

Untill I used my HTC HD with winmo 6.5 sms threading aggregated messages by author (contact).

Now both the default sms app, as well as GO SMS PRO thread the messages by number!

This results in me having double or triple threads for all the people with multiple numbers!

Not only that, they could prefer me to vehiculate messages to a particular number (a default number) while they answer from another. That isn't possible anymore.

Is there a workaround for this?
[LG Optimus 2x] austria89:
if I don't mix up things now, Handcent SMS should work fine!

I've got just a few contacts with multiple numbers, but if I remember correctly, the SMS are sorted by contact, not number!

Correct me if I'm wrong ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
That would be my ideal working mode.

And what I expected.

But, as I said, two different apps show the same behaviour: two threads for messages coming from two numbers of the same contact.
[LG Optimus 2x] macduy:
Hi

I have the same issue, some of my contacts have multiple numbers, as they sometimes reply using a different SIM card or are in a different country. In Go SMS Pro threads list, they are listed multiple times instead of a single contact. I have checked and I do not have any duplicates in my contacts. I'm using HTC Desire Z updated to Gingerbread and the stock HTC messages app displays them fine (i.e. as a single thread). Has somebody found a solution? Or is it the way Go SMS is designed to work?

Thanks,

Hai
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
I suspect it's how GO SMS, as well as Google own messaging app, is designed.

I haven't found any other app that deals correctly with this so far :(
[LG Optimus 2x] macduy:
Are you sure? I'm using an HTC and their default messaging app and there messages are threaded by contact rather than number. Maybe only HTC does it...
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Mine is just a guess: previously I had a WM 6.5 Htc HD and it did work as I expected. Same happened for every rom i flashed, but they all came with Sense.

Now that I moved to Android I can't find any messaging app doing what I expect it to do, so maybe it really was something special by Htc...
[LG Optimus 2x] FerN(SA):
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but has something changed in this regard yet. Don't like the fact that one contact clogs up my whole sms tray. Am more than willing to pay for this feature.
[LG Optimus 2x] GuestK00456:
I echo the sentiments of the others. Hath such an app or mod entered into existence at this time to accomplish this particular purpose?
[LG Optimus 2x] KozaKBR:
Solution?
[LG Optimus 2x] FerN(SA):
I don't think there is any solution yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] FerN(SA):
Found contact+, its messaging does this, but you get all other things you might not want.
[LG Optimus 2x] furboom1240:
Try Contacts+. Its plugins are required for the whole app to function. But threads like you described exist in this app. I just wish the others would follow Contact+'s lead. It's available on the Play Store. Please remember to thank me if this works for you. Features Google+ integration and Facebook, whatsapp, foursquare, and LinkedIn as well as twitter. These apps may need to be installed too.

oops. looks like the question is already answered.
[LG Optimus 2x] fedorvinogradov:
Hey everyone.

It is true that there is no convinient app that could hold multiple numbers of a contact in the same thread. I tried Contacts+, but this function is the only thing why I did this.

Actually I like Textra for the plain interface.

Why I am writing - developers of Textra seem to act quick for requested features. So I've added this feature here textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728235-single-thread-for-a-contact-with-multiple-numbers .

If you're interested in this you could give your voice for the feature and maybe we would have a great sms app.

A little off topic: also I've added another feature request - textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728169-split-group-sms-thread
[LG Optimus 2x] FerN(SA):
So contacts+ is still the only solution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dicko99:
When accessing google in the standard browser I get the following strange behaviour:

Search for something.

Click a link.

Use 'back' key to return to search results and the page shows no results, just the Google logo and the search box.

If I refresh the page I get the search results back.

Is this the same for everyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
Yep i had the same on both 3.0.1 and 3.1 however when on google.co.uk i have the cog icon top right for search settings and even though browser set to google instant off the sttings here still show as active so unticked google instant and saved preferences, now i do not have this problem
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dsnuts002:
yep... i am seeing i too under 3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
yep...this is a bug in the stock browser..

not a big deal but hopefully it will be fixed soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ddrolet:
Awesome! Fixed my issue with the browser too. However, I did like the google instant feature. I'll wait until it's fixed, since this is much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eyepopper:
Was on the main google site and could not type anything into the search box. I would click in but no keyboard would pop out to type... Am I doing something wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lqaddict:
Got the same on Galaxy Tab 10.1 the moon eclipse animation works but no keyboard pops up when tapping at the search box. I had to click the google logo and search from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pehkblui:
Ya I have the problem with the stock browser as well, specifically with the docked keyboard. I have found if I do a right click to pop up the menu and cancel it, then I can start typing in the search box.

I also have this issue with the Dolphin browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
i'm having this problem too... kinda. certain websites, like xda, i can't use the back button. this is happening on my tf and on my gt10.1 so it's not a tf specific issue. it may be an app causing this b/c before i synced my gt10.1 after reformatting it it worked fine.

since dolphin is doing this too maybe dolpin is causing the problem? got some digging to do. i may go back to fresh and install apps one at a time... what a pain that'll be.

[HTC Sensation] Stone Cold:
This is funny... I thought I was the only one who didn't like it. I really thought I was going to, but I find it just gets in the way.

I switched to LauncherPro (which I'm really happy with) and I stopped all the HTC related syncing stuff in the accounts setup. I'm not sure how much was saved, but it didn't seem to help much RAM and battery wise.

FWIW my wife hasn't had any complaints about it, and we both came from stock Android phones.

I can't wait to root this thing...

I am also running Launcher Pro and it runs great. No lag. On a side note, is it worth the $3.50 to get the 'Plus' version of Launcher Pro?
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I installed Zeam to see if it would be slow. It ran fine. I actually noticed that some aspects of Sense shutdown when you use another launcher.

Try ADW Ex just for the mere fact that is supports hardware acceleration unlike LPP and the other homescreen replacements.

I was just curious who is using the flyer to take notes in meetings, and how that is working out for you?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
I've used it to keep notes while looking for apartments. The ability to insert photos directly into notes is useful. For example I'll take a picture of the apartment with notes on rent, features I like, and whether I like the landlord.

In terms of using the pen, it would be a lot more useful of it worked with the tracing keyboard. Writing out letters with it isn't very productive feeling. The keyboard is just easier, even one handed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SciFlyer:
I carry it around all day at work as well as bringing it to meetings. I use notes with the pen mostly. It is proving to be very handy.

Last week I used it to troubleshoot our videoconferencing equipment. I surfed the web for the equipment manual, downloaded it to pdf and Googled support for help without leaving the conference room. It was a real timesaver.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sven424:
I have it also all day long with me at work during meetings and conference calls. All notes I have to take even for writing minutes are done now with the Flyer and the Pen. Perfect, that's the solution I was waiting the past ten years since my Newton 2000 for which has done the same job almost perfect but without the online functions.
