[Milestone 2 General] Maudiefech:
Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?

Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?

Thank you ppl!
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.

The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).

The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.

You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...
[Milestone 2 General] Maudiefech:
I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..

Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.
[Milestone 2 General] Maudiefech:
Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much
[Milestone 2 General] diditnya:
Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.
[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
Will it be possible (once root comes) to adjust the shutter speed of the camera or better sync it with the flash? Is that something that could be adjusted in the software?

Sent from my HTC Evo
[HTC EVO 3D] ZUUL42:
I rooted and flashed CyanogenMod7 my EVO 4G & MyTouch 4G. IF shutter speed control is possible, it isn't built into the standard Android camera program. You might want to look for other programs that have that feature. But it may either not be controllable or not something any developers have bothered to add as a feature into their programs. However since the camera is so small & simple, it may not a hardware limitation and simply not possible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hotspace:
I've seen a few threads around on emulation. But I haven't seen a definitive answer. Before I get flamed...I did search. But nothing....

Is it possible to run 2.3.x on a pc in an emulator? I assume yes.

I'd like to figure this cooking thing out and I have another assumption...wouldn't it be easier if after cooking you could boot up the ROM in an emulator?

If these are all Noob assumptions please let me know.:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cdesai:
Yes it is possible

Go to android.com

Download and install the Android SDK (and other prerequisites)

download the platform tools needed(2.3.x) and create a new AVD and select 2.3.x as target

Google/Youtube will help you more here

And you can test your cooked rom if its in .img format(not sure about others)

What happened to silverlight support in IE9 ?[/SIZE]

And where is tethering ?? Any news on if that's still going to make the Mango RTM ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
WP7 supports mobile silverlight, which is slightly different than silverlight for desktops. I don't think they plan on adding flash or silverlight to the browser anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satchef1:
It was talked about a while back. Maybe they've decided against it? It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they've decided it's not worth the time and effort involved to port it to IE Mobile. Or maybe they saw similar performance/battery life problems as Flash on Android?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
In the SDK we write code for silverlight so it has support for it in the apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] steelerfan75:
I was super excited to see that Zenonia 3 was finally here and to top it all off it is free in the market.

I downloaded it on my Nook Color running Phiremod Test Build of V7. All it does when i try to play it gives me a black screen for about a minute then closes.

So if any of you Geniuses on this board who have gotten a bunch of other stuff to run on the nook could help me out that would be super AWESOME!!!!

Thanks in advance you guys have really made me love my Nook Color even more.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] woot1524:

Does the Galaxy 10.1 fit a sleeve for MacBook 11" or was this one 'custom made'?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] redrecordplayer:
This was custom made for the galaxy tab. The dimensions are slightly different I believe. The one I have fits the tab exactly. It took about 2 weeks to get it and cost me $33 due to shipping.

Hi guys,

I got my phone 2 days ago and just wanted to know if anyone else is getting this problem.

when i press the power button to go to my lockscreen, there is a really quick delay thats not even 1 second. But during the delay the screen has grey background with white lines on it.

[Atrix 4G General] dstevens:
Thanks. I'm running 2.2.2. Where can I find the stock ROM so I can pull it from? I tried from a customer ROM but it wouldn't install. I'm assuming it is because it has been deodexed/zipaligned.

Thanks again.

So I downloaded the Blur_Version 4.1.83 from Motorola's website and noticed there are two Browser files:

Browser.apk.p

I renamed them (removing the p) and pushed them to systems/app. When I tried to install the apk is said it is a system app and do I want to overwrite it (something like that). I clicked yes but the install failed. Now when I try to install I get the following Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package. I've tried a factory reset (both ways) and still can't get it to load.

Help!!

you can also use different browser such as firefox or dolphine hd.

I noticed this several days ago. To be more precise the last row (in portrait orientation) is a duplicate of the second to last row. This happens all the time, no matter which app or orientation.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
I too got a 32GB model from them a few days ago. But since that happened to coincide with doube-ebay-bucks day, the difference is only $73 for me. Had I had the opportunity to get the 16GB for $436 (after bux), I probably would have chosen that. But since I have a 32GB that isn't (yet) exibiting any of the flaws that some others are finding, and since it's unlocked, I'll stick with what I have. :)

But great deal for those looking for one. FWIW, they shipped mine the same day I ordered it, and it took 2 days to get (NY to GA).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itaintrite:
Same here. But the extra 16GB isn't worth $73 either ;P Fingers crossed mine will be unlocked. I live in NYC so can always go exchange at the store if there's any problem :)

This is really a great deal. People who purchased from Amazon should return theirs and save some money ;P

Are you aware it's going to cost you a 15% restocking fee to return your 32GB?

[Xoom General] DeeJayCruiser:
Hey all not sure what the root problem of this issue is but basically im runnign tiamat 1.4 honeycomb 3.1 and the xoom itself works ok but i constantly have issues with my wifi (home router). The xoom will connect and everything will be ok, then out of nowhere it will gray out my wifi (even though my wifi router is still working and i can verify this because my laptop can still connect to the internet no problems).

Also, when I try to download stuff from android market it takes forever for the installation to actually show up on my task bar, and sometimes it just hibernates at "downloading" and can take some time till it actually downloads the app or updates.

Any ideas? What could be the problem. My wifi settings are set to "never turn off" and i bought the xoom from amazon in the USA but am using it in the UAE.

Thanks all
[Xoom General] 00roberto00:
same here

and the wifi is pretty death (compared to my streak)
[Xoom General] davidsos:
Try using the new Tiamat ROM 1.1 which includes the 1.4.5 Kernel. it is very good. I think Motorola should hire Team Tiamat to do their Xoom development, it's amazing how well they do without the advantage of having HC source code. Motorola should be embarrassed.

I've been trying to install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) all day on my phone but now I'm pulling my hair out by the clumps. This seems to be one stubborn device to play with. My desire didn't give me any trouble at all.

Please help with the following queries I have:

I have installed 2nd init boot and then was accessing clockworkmod through that.

But when I try backing up my ROM I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard".

On the defy if I press up and power on I get the default bootloader with battery check. I can only get into clockworkmod from the recovery app.

On my desire, I can directly boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by pressing up and power button. I don't remember now how I got t to do that, but I would like that in my Defy too. I suppose this will solve the sdcard problem?

What must I do to install a custom ROM on defy??

Motorola Defy Eclair, OS 2.1, kernel 2.6.29

SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (Defy 2ndinit)

USB Debugging is NOT on when I reboot.

I formatted the card, remounted it in normal operation, then tried going into the Android Bootmenu and mounting the sdcard, formatting it, backup but none of them worked b/c it couldn't mount the sdcard.

I also tried doing the same thing, but not remounting it in normal operation and shutting it off to no avail.

I also tried adding the folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod but with no luck.

Specifically, when do Custom Recovery, then in ClockworkMod Recovery, do backup and restore and do backup, I get the error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0{

(No such file or directory)

Can't mount /sdcard

This particular version of the OS makes rooting very difficult. z4root doesn't work as it exploited some security feature that was figured in the firmware update.

After reading that article, I'd like to formally request someone to find a way to make this work on the Charge! Finally, we can Skype someone on a computer (PC/Mac) or on any Android or iPhone! Amazing. It's also about time.

And this edited Skype does not work on the Charge: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Skyp...alls-working-on-non-supported-devices_id20025

Apparently it works on the charge but you have to be on a gingerbread rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Interesting, would be nice to finally have a use for this front-facing camera(there are other apps but no one uses them, all the people I know use Skype).

Also, sorry for derailing but I'm going to assume you use Skype on your Charge, do you know how to stop it from auto-starting? I usually just open it, check who's online, send my messages, etc and task kill it but sometimes I'll hear the sound of it starting up (whether I'm using the phone or not). It just keeps my phone awake and kills battery, do you know how to stop this..?

Well on Windows it has the option of choosing not to startup with windows. I haven't checked it on Android.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Heh thanks anyway. So I'm assuming Skype hasn't let out any official word on the Charge(or any other phone) video call release date, I didn't hear anything about this initial update at all so I'm guessing it's just going to be surprises from here on out.
