i'll try it, but this issue isn't with google contacts, the contacts it's happening with are actually contacts that don't have a google link.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
mmhhh.... its worth a try ... maybe its a random google android thing .... lets see
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
it has been my experience that the native fb program attached to sense supply's the pics in your fb contacts in sense as well as launcher pro. i don't have a resolution issue. My problem is that in the sms log the contact pics sometimes disappear and only the number is there. that is annoying... I need that to be fixed since i don't know phone numbers by heart anymore. DANG you technology!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
The battery life on my 3D is far worse than my 4G, which had the extended battery (obviously). But until an extended battery is available for the 3D, I will have to deal. In order to make the battery last longer, I'd like to automatically disable background data (or auto sync) when the signal is less than 2 bars for a few minutes. Can any of you help me with this?

I've created a profile that will disable auto sync when signal is "2" or less. But I'd like to enhance it by saying it has to remain less than "2" for 3-5 minutes, so it isn't constantly enabling/disabling auto sync when I go through tunnels, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
Power saver feature that is built in does that.

Oops, reading comp fail. I thought you said battery. Sorry.

-----

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
Yeah, it does it when the battery reaches 15%. I want it to do this at any battery level, but only when the signal is weak.

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
I've made some progress with this. It's not perfect, but I think it will work.

First, create a task called "weak signal"

Check state, signal level is 0-1

Set variable %WEAKSIGNAL to 1

Wait 3 minutes

If %WEAKSIGNAL = 1

Disable auto sync (I wish this could be background data, but I don't see an option)

Then create a second task called "normal signal"

Check state, signal level is 3-8 (left a gap to prevent flapping)

Set variable %WEAKSIGNAL to 0

wait 15 seconds

If %WEAKSIGNAL = 0

Enable auto sync

I'll test this for a few days and see if it improves things. Coincidentally, I've been in areas with weak signals each day since I got the 3D. As a result, I'm lucky if the battery lasts 8 hours. I know disabling always-on data will fix this, but I don't like that the weather and everything stops syncing. Hopefully this will be a happy medium.

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
The tasker script seems to be working perfectly! It has definitely improved my battery life in weak signal areas, and I haven't noticed any ill effects.

Dave
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Only problme I see with this is that it will kick in if you have a weak signal but still are connected to a wifi hotspot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryan00:
Could someone explain how to do this ? how to add this task? So i could save the battery when signal is low . Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Thmstec:
I am also having pretty horrific battery life, only 6 hours where my 4G use to last 36... So I thought I'd take this idea and make my own little modifications to it.

First I thought I would explain to those not familiar with Tasker. It is an app that allows you to setup your phone to automatically do "tasks" based on contexts. These contexts can be things like whether your connected to wifi, what time of the day it is, how good your signal strength is, anything your phone can "sense." And tasks are basically anything your phone can do, like turn on and off settings or launch applications.

Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

Dev Website: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

Now for my take on dodgeboy's 'profile'.

Context 1: Signal Strength, from 0 to 2
Context 2: Wifi Connected, Invert (Not connected to wifi)
Enter Task 1: Wait 1 min
Enter Task 2: Auto-Sync Off
Enter Task 3: Notify,[Title] Low Signal, [Text] Auto Sync Off, Permanent (I wanted a notification that auto sync was off)
Exit Task 1: Wait 15 sec
Exit Task 2: Auto-Sync On
Exit Task 3: Notify Cancel (Clears that Permanent notification)

Here is a link to my exported profile. Just put it on your phone's sd card. Once tasker is open, hit menu, profile data, import one profile.

http://db.tt/gb9w8O4

Let me know what you think. Haven't tested it beyond testing it at my desk by "death gripping" the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Thmstec:
ok, so there is some issue with my profile. Occasionally it will not perform the exit tasks, so the notification stays up and the auto-sync remains off. Not sure why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't..? Maybe I'll try a 2 profile setup like the OP using a variable. Will post back if I get around to making a new profile(s), or if I figure out what is wrong with my current profile.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
Are you waiting for it to go through the wait period? The way I wrote it, it needs to stay in one state for a period of time before it changes whether or not the auto sync is enabled. If you want it to happen immediately, just write it without the variable and wait sections.

The reason I want it to wait is because when you enable auto sync, it seems to perform at least a partial sync immediately. I don't want this script to make the battery worse, because it is constantly syncing as it comes in an out of signal range.
[HTC EVO 3D] carmatana:
Thanks for all the comments, very helpful !!! It is noticeable the battery saving
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] EP2008:
Having one Android tablet and one ipad in the house makes gaming really boring. Are there any multiplayer games that allows for cross-platform action between the two os'? I'm not talking OpenFeint, I mean simultanious, real-time, multiplayer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Beako:
I've been wanting to check out Order & Chaos from Gameloft to see if it's cross-platform. The only app I've actually done cross-platform "gaming" with is Words With Friends. I can play simultaneously with my friend's iPod Touch/iPhone, but this is with my Nexus S. I haven't seen any cross-platform tablet gaming.. except MAYBE Order and Chaos.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ghostfaceg35:
Dungeon Defenders, Asphalt 6 (may not let you log in to Gameloft Live after 3.1 update???), Guerilla Bob but I think it's local network only. If Gun Bros would ever get the online update you could add it to the list. Also Pocket Legends works great and the devs have a new games coming out in the next couple weeks with a space theme. Skies of Glory worked on phones but it crashes on tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Reckless racing and raging thunder to the list :-P
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Ryukeima:
I think Dungeon Defenders supports cross platform for iOS and Android. When it is released on Xbox360, PS3, and PC, it will supposedly allow cross platform between all systems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Pacifik:
Pocket legends and words with friends
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rickyzone:
I know it has been on the list a few times already, but pocket legends. I play that on my phone (also worked on my acer iconia a500) and my friend plays it on his iphone when we are both working. Excellent way to waist time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] corodius:
While I haven't got my TF101 yet, I do play X-Plane and Starfront: Collision crossplatform with my brother, he has an iPhone 4 and I use my Galaxy Tab 7". Most Gameloft games that support multiplayer will work, as long as both versions match (eg. my bro and I had to make sure we both had v1.0.6 of SF:C but as long as both are on latest should be fine).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
It is? Cross platform gaming doesn't really exist too much anywhere. I think this list is a great start to that happening more and more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jazux:

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] CrEdge:
I know this is old, but I'm very interested in it

Other than the MMO's (like the Legend series by Spacetime Studios) and Whatever With Friends, I found some great free games with cross-platform multiplayer support:

[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Hey all:

I just got a G Tablet a couple of weeks back and I put Vegan 5.1 on it. I don't have a smart phone but am getting one. I think the LG GT540 Optimus is the one I am going with. I have taken a quick look at the how to's for this phone and I noticed a how to for something called Eclaire 2.1 and a different thread for "custom 2.1/2.2/2.3". Which one should I go with. Do you know if either would allow me to tether with my G tab? thanks in advance
[GT540 Optimus General] tejasjadhav:
If you're really interested in tethering, better you buy Optimus One (P500) as it has tethering support in its stock ROM itself. Considering GT540, Mur4ik has already done with Wifi tethering. If you won't mind waiting for perfectly working tethering, then you can have GT540.

But I won't recommend it if you are just interested in tethering. Rather buy any phone that has Official 2.2/2.3 support.

Some recommendations like LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 3 (they both are upgradeable to 2.2).
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
thank you..
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Can't really find your 3 recommendations at a similar price point as the GT540. Are you saying if i put the 2.1 eclaire and root the phone, tethering isn't currently working?
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
if you want a cheap android phone get the gt540 and upgrade it to the latest CM7 build that has WiFi tether support enabled and if you do get it make a swap partition on the sd card because i am making a softmod rom and it will have a few tweaks included for performance speed and battery ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Ok. Just bought it. Partitioned many internal and external drives using windows but never done an sd through android. I'm sure its not so bad. Are the instructions for that cm7 on the forums some where? Thnx for the reply
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
yeah look at the how to thread in the dev section. it will help you mod your phone.
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
I read somewhere that you should upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, then to 2.3. Is this true or can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly?

Also. I see a video on how to install cm7. What would be the prereqs, install fastboot and root the phone or?
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
If you want I can remote control your PC tomorrow to upgrade your phone for you?
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
appreciate it!!! but I actually get more enjoyment learning and performing this stuff than I do actually using the phone. Let me give it a try, if i can't I'll let you know. Haven't got the phone yet either. It will be shipped over the next few days or so
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
no problem just take the time to study the guides while the phone is being shipped.
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Been reading some and there is a lot of info. I have a question. Can I just follow the instructions provided here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12898827&postcount=3 , going to 2.1, 2.2 and so on(can i go to CM7 directly)?

or is there anything else needed to be done too, like rooting etc?
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
all you need to do is flash a fastboot 2.1 rom then boot into fastboot and direct flash to cm7 if you want.
[GT540 Optimus General] marlboroazrag:
Just get 2.1 with fastboot then u can go directly to CM7
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Thnx all. I will as soon as i get the phone
[GT540 Optimus General] nodch:
Thanks for the infos. I'll try them
[GT540 Optimus General] MrAndroid12:
Any rom that supports tethering should do.

I'd recommend 2.1 with Quarx kernel
[GT540 Optimus General] 2j44:
Hey All: Got the phone yesterday. I think I installed everything last night. Had some issues, though I bricked the phone a few times.

There is one weird thing. When I shutdown the phone. I press power to restart, it does this quick vibrate, then does nothing for like 30 secs, this is where i thought he phone was messed, but then it starts up. not sure what's up?

One more quick thing, how do you get into recovery mode, cause I think i need to do one of those factory resets after install right? thanx

Hi all, this is my first post. But I wanted to ask what is in your opinion the best video player for xperia play. I use mobo player its good and i was lookin for somein a lil better it plays mkv but in hd it goes out of sync sometimes. I love my play btw its amazing phone I was saving up for it since it was announced lolz.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
Ive never seen Mobo Player go out of synch.

Did you try changing hardware/software mode and trying that?

Mobo player is the best so far imo.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mrchewbacca:
I agree. Mobo Player is the only one I've been able to find that I can stream video with my Tversity media server. Been able to play everything I've thrown at it so far.

Its free, its the best of the best player i've ever use..

try diceplayer

Rock/Mobo/Vital/vPlayer can not use hw decoder when playing file that isn't supported by system like MKV(+DTS/FLAC).

Diceplayer can play MKV/M2TS files using HW Decoder.so

diceplayer use almost same power as stock player. sw codec base player need more power.

Xperia Play have QSD8255. it can play 720p High level 3.1~4.1
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] neil_swann80:
I had issues with RockPlayer on my XP, can't remember if I tried MoboPlayer.

I'm using arcMedia Player and that has played everything I have thrown at it.

Android's media playing capabilities definitely seems to be weaker than that of iPhone and Windows IMHO.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ps3taker:
Thanks for mentioning of diceplayer - i tried it and seems good for everything but cannot play WMV files - it has an option to play them stock but regardless of what I set it too does not play them.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
you dont need a DNLA server such as ps3media center or tversity to stream your media.

Install the cifs/tuns modules (or flash my system.img with it all built in) and use cifs manager to map your pc's network drives to your sdcard.

You can now stream video,pictures and audio over your wifi network without any extra software running on your PC.

and if you wanna get tricky you can run a vpn to your pc and connect to it and stream music while away from your house ;D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] netorino:
Thanks for the recommendation on arcMedia. It worked flawlessly with .avi, .div, .divx, .srt subtitles in spanish failed with accented letters and non-english characters but japanese subtitles worked perfect, and they look really sharp.

Even though MoboPlayer was recommended by a lot of people and someone reviewed it (I searched for that thread but I couldn't find it again), .divx wasn't recognized as a video file, .div closed after a split second and .avi's audio was out of synch like hell. I didn't even check if subtitles were supported.

Someone mentioned this to me, how do you go about setting a vpn up, would it work for network connected storage?

Also how safe is it to use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ps3taker:
don't know about vpn but get "File Expert" from the market and you can map network drives (including NAS drives, i.e. PC can be off) and stream video via wifi (dice player or other players supporting your formats will be needed, otherwise your are limited to MP4 format) - I mapped my NAS device using internal IP address - don't know how secure it would be if you enable external web access to it through external IP and not sure if it would work as an FTP or something for downloading only not streaming possibly.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] -josh-:
I use upnplay for streaming over a network in conjunction with moboplayer works great (probably the 2 best free apps iv ever come across).

Im interested in setting up a vpn to access my content whilst out and about or through someone elses wifi. Might have to invest in a sling box
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ps3taker:
I use Wyse PocketCloud from the Market to access two machines at work - one via remote desktop to take control of it, one with UltraVNC to share with other people on it. But if it's file sharing not just using your PCs' desktops - one of the guys here uses remote desktop to put files he needs into the Dropbox remotely, then picks them up in the Dropbox on his mobile. I don't use Dropbox yet - want to try setting up external access to the network files first to see how they work in File Expert if at all. Maybe TUN/CIFS modules are better for that but I haven't tried them out either.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:

Hi all.

can I please get some confirmation before I mess things up (again)?

I'm currently running on CM7 RC0. I'd like to upgrade to RC1v2. The procedure I think is:

1. Download Latest CM7 ROM and put on SD card.

2. Boot into Custom Recovery.

3. Install the CM7 zip file and then the google apps one.

4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.

Is this right, or do I need to go back to the start and reflash the sbf, root, etc etc?
[Defy General] 57op:
That's unuseful, even more if you do it after installing cm7 + gapps ;)!

I have upgraded to RC1 without wiping anything...

Of course, if you want to avoid doing some mess you'd better wiping cache + dalvik before installing the rom, but it's not really necessary.
[Defy General] simon211175:
oops. Yes I may have got that in the wrong order.

If you first wipe than update over zip you are on the save site

It's also good to do a 'Wipe battery stats', on Recovery->Custom Recovery->Advanced. Battery can get a little messed up upon upgrading.
