Hi All,

Sync with Facebook Contact was very easy and handy in HTC Sence. Since I have upgraded to Elinux 2.3 / Froyd Villain 1.7 ..I am not seeing any options in contact menu, by which i can sync my phonebook/google contact with facebook contact.

I have noticed some of my contact automatically sync with facebook. And for some its not sync. also in some contact , i am seeing some xml data in "note" section.

I need to know how can i sync my existing phone contact with facebook contact with my phonebook / google contact when i dont have HTC Sence.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bharat_goku:
its simple but a long procedure

add Ur Facebook account and sync all contacts from Ur id

go to contacts display options show all

go to each contact edit>link contact and link it to their respective Facebook id

its a long procedure adding each contact but if Ur specific on Facebook sync no other go

[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:
mik 6.5.5 CM7 or void forever ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
mik's cyanogenmod7 v6.5.5 + franco kernel v18.1
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Feeshie:
this, but I prefer Franco kernel v18 because it has less battery drain.

As far as I've seen, there is no such thing, you have to make compromises.

The ROMS based on CM have some bugs, but if you can live with that (I can't) they are pretty fast.

On the other hand, if you want stable, try GingerLOL or OneDroid (I have the last one). No so super-mega-speed in synthetic benches, but stable and reliable in normal use.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastaeit:
Based on neocore (Benchmark) , I recommend miks 6.6 with franco 18 jul (75 fps)

Simple & decent battery life under normal use :)
[Vega Themes and Apps] O_G:
Hi all.

This is for all Star Trek fans. I have made up a theme to make are vegas look like the LCARS panels used in Star Trek. You do need a few apps installed to make it happen. Most are free, the others can be replaced by free alternatives. This is currently just one screen, i do plan on adding two others. Just trying to find some inspiration for them. Also plan on changing the ENGINEERING text at the top to change when the home page is changed, when i get the time. This is only designed for use with the home screen set to Landscape, this can be set in ADW Launcher settings (explained below).

Apps needed:

Desktop visualizer - Bii,Inc

ADW launcher (i use the free version) - AnderWeb

Beautiful widgets (for time and weather widget, not free) - LevelUp Studio

System Monitor Lite 4 - gsjavadev

First install the above apps then set ADW settings as below.

ADW Settings:

Screen preferences,

Hide status bar: Checked

Wallpaper scrolling: Unchecked

Hide icon labels: Checked

Auto stretch: Unchecked

Desktop Columns: 8

Desktop Rows: 8

General Behavior,

Home screen binding: Move to default desktop

Swipe down actions: Open/close App Drawer (For swipe panel)

Swipe up actions: Show/hide statusbar (For swipe panel)

System Preferences,

Home Orientation: Landscape

UI Settings,

Main Dock Style: None (expanded desktop)

Applying the theme:

Unpack the LCARS Theme.zip and transfer the files to your Vega, then set the LCARSBackground.png as the wallpaper. Then start adding Desktop visualizer widgets, use the screenshot for reference. The top for buttons are 2x1 the eight middle are 1x1 and the bottom two large are 3x1. The settings button is 1x1, and the two swipe panels are 1x4. Set the image and application settings by tapping the empty desktop visualizer. Making sure to tap clear on the label option. You can go to the trouble of setting the appropriate touch effect colour to match the button colour. Time consuming but makes it look good. Thats it your vega should look like a LCARS pad!!

Have Fun:)

[Trophy General] xivius:
Hi,

I try to downgrade from Mango to Nodo but I have a problem:

When running restore.bat the batch file keeps saying that I dont have zune 4.8 installed ... but I did .... I de-installed and re-installed again ... but no luck ...

Suggestions ?

btw I used:

http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11
[Trophy General] Laseven34C:
I think I have the same problem. I have a US Verizon HTC Trophy updated now to Mango 7720 and I'm looking to restore it back to NoDo.

I used the method posted on windowsphonehacker (How to get Mango Beta 2 for non-developers) to update my phone 7712.

It made a backup for me which is in my C drive folder.

Then I recently updated my phone from 7712 to 7720 with the Mango RTM flash that was just released.

So I wanted to see if I could restore back to Nodo and I'm running into problems.

With Zune 4.8 installed, I ran the restore.bat file from the windowsphonehacker post and it said that the version of the windows phone update tool did not match Zune. So I unintalled Zune 4.8, re installed the original Zune 4.7 and ran the restore.bat again. This time, it runs but says "No restore point found."

Anyone have any ideas? If not, is there a stable Verizon US Nodo ROM I can flash to my phone?

Thanks.
[Trophy General] 666todd666:
Step away from the phone...

I have a similar problem. I successfully updated my Trophy to the first Mango beta, but I'm having a slew of issues getting it up to the latest (final?) Mango release. I can't seem to restore back to anything below 7401... and I'm afraid I won't get the official release in September. I'm generally down a rabbit hole and would just prefer to flash and get back to 7932 as if none of this ever happened.

Any advice for a noob would be appreciated.

thx
[Trophy General] stussy:
Hi, must turn off ur phone n switch to 3 colour page
[Trophy General] 666todd666:
downgrade problem

Yeah, I did that. It wouldn't flash the phone correctly.... maybe I had the wrong ROM. If anyone can point me to the Verizon Trophy 7392 US ROM I would appreciate it.
[Trophy General] TrippingJimmies:
My understanding is that you will not be able to accomplish your task. The multi-color screen on the Verizon Trophy does not allow loading of ROMs since it cannot be unlock. Unless I am misunderstanding this. Shouldn't you be able to restore to a previous point in the Zune software?
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
If i turn gps on, but dont actually use it (no gps icon), will it drain my battery?
[HTC Desire S] heavyhms:
No, there are no drain: disabling gps via widget or menu simply force gps off even if required by app, but leaving has no power drain if is not enable by application request
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
Thank you :)
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Unless the satellite icon is in your address bar GPS is off, but remember that it may not show when geo tagging pictures etc, so if you've taken a lot of pics indoors your phone may still be draining your battery by requesting locations via gps or the network.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
Ok so GB is up and running since yesterday at about 5:30pm.

The phone seems snappier and quicker and has a different look to it, but the one thing I was hoping for was better battery life and it seems the same if worse.

I have had any reboots yet, but I'm not willing to say that the issue has been fixed because I don't get them everyday.

If this isn't the official TMO/LG fix, do you guys think there is still a chance they will address battery life because they didn't do anything IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
I have to agree. My battery life is no better then it was from FroYo. This better not be the official release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrfaulkin:
My battery life is way better on this stock GB than on the stock FROYO. Maybe you have an application that is persistently hogging resources?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
I think you may be right. I just noticed that TeleNav was stuck in a continuous restart. I never even opened that POS software. Cannot wait to root with SuperOneClick.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Yeah android as a whole OS needs to release a major update concerning battery life, its easier said than done though the hardware is different on every phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Just another quick piece of advice. If you are coming from a different ROM and/or different kernel let the battery charge to 100 then unplug from charger > Boot into CWM > advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
Exactly, which is why the manufacturers really need to fix battery life for each of the phones they put out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
I really want to wait for ice cream sandwich, but if I get the chance to get an iphone4 I'm going for it, even though it might be considered a downgrade specs wise, the apps, and better battery life make up for all the losses.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
Why wouldn't you wait for the five to come out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Well I don't really have cash to spend on a iphone5, if I can do an even trade for the 4 I will.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
I decided to use the rooted version that came about yesterday afternoon and let it fully charge overnight and I've had it off my charger for 2hrs. My battery got worse, I'm now at 85% and all I've done was watch 2 short videos and came here a few times for a few mins. Also downloaded the newest cm7 nightly.

Overall I'm not impressed with the work LG put into this, seems like this was the CEOs teenage stepsons work so he could have his devs work on their other pos electronics.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
A friendly word of advice. I came from the iPhone4 to the G2x. Even with the shortcomings this phone has had the iPhone 4 will only make you want your G2x back. Getting caught up in Apple's iron fist of control over your device sucks. I have had every iPhone since the original release. The battery life is decent on the iPhone 4, but not any better in my opinion than what I am getting now since I flashed a different ROM. So from experience I can say that is not a good thing.

I am running CM7 with faux's kernel on my G2x. since doing that I have had great battery life, no re-boots and no other issues. If you haven't done that it's worth a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Yeah, now with ios 5 u are no.longer tied down to iTunes, I have tried just about all the roms and kernel combinations, the best I got was 15 hours with heavy optimization that was running cm7 with faux oc UV kernel with set CPU profiles and juice defender, basically I disabled every feature that made my phone a smartphone, if I recall when I had an iPhone 3g (and the 4's battery has to.be better) I never needed to carry around my charger and I could actually play games, I just dropped from 100% to 90% in 27min, cmon, this is running the phone how it was made to run with gb rom from yesterday and bloat removed w root at 20% brightness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmplus:
Whenever I want serious battery life, I just turn on wifi calling. Since it disables the cellular radio completely I get way, way, way more battery time out of it. Just the other day I had the phone off the charger for 18 hours and was at 40% battery life. This on on the stock rom.

I manage cell phones and can confidently say that even the iphone users are unhappy with their battery life, as is nearly every smartphone user coming from a dumbphone or a blackberry.

Oh and I forgot to add, with ios5 you still are forced to use itunes for all of your music and syncing, you just don't have to physically hook up the cables. It's like a wireless tether sync.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nospin:
Apple has absolute control over everything software and hardware, allowing for ultimate optimization. Add that to the massive battery and lack of true multitasking and you have a phone that will last a long time.

What you describe should not be happening though, and I suggest trying juice defender and reading on battery saving tips for android. But understand that phones are getting more powerful, while battery tech stays the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
I've done all that, today I'm gonna use my phone the way it was meant to be used, I'm thinking of buying a 3500ma battery off of eBay for $10.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
I don't think I do. I have had this crappy battery life since release day. I tried the factory reset stuff and ran with no apps. Once I noticed it didn't improve battery life I put the apps back on.

To me it is just the cell stand by/phone idle stuff always killing my battery.

I would love to use the wifi calling, but it didn't work very well at my house (no option to do so at work).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
For people with battery life changes....Did you just upgrade to GB via the ROM available, or did you use the LG Tool that also updated basebands?

My phone is great on Froyo with the exception of battery life. I had read GB has better battery life. Trying to determine if changing the basebands will also help.

Any advice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
If you think you have bad battery life, my friend has an HTC Thunderbolt he tells me he only gets 4 hours of battery life... Takes him 6 hours to charge to full, 10 AM disconnects from his charger and at 2PM he has less than 10% left.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
I get less than four hours if I don't turn off the screen, and constantly use my phone with brightness at 25%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
battery life is awesome so far for me. Been on for 7 hours and at 65% with moderate use including navigation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Are you using the new baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
Phone still REBOOTS (well turns off)

For those asking I used the LG tool so I have the new baseband.

4g on, gps on, email push. This morning was at 50% in 3 hours with moderate use, checked a few emails and such.

BIGGER NEWS!!!!

I just had a the phone do the frozen at black screen won't unlock requiring a battery pull thing again.

So it took less than 24 hours to get my first reboot issue.

So nothing has changed, crappy battery life and phone still turns itself off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
Geez... let see you have GPS on and email push. Yep, that will kill ur battery for sure. How about turning GPS off. Are you using it all the time? Email push - is there anything wrong with just having it pull ever 5-15mins? as oppose to push?

4g will drain you batter but i find it hard to believe it will bring it down to 50% in less than 3hrs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
if you want here's the flashable rooted Gingerbread from yesterday. easier to install for me and well its Rooted.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
My battery life has become ALOT better using the flashable rooted Gingerbread i posted above. no problems at all and my phone used to turn off by itself EVERY MORNING and today it didnt do that!! :) overall great experience so far. 4hrs and 30 min on standby with Wifi calling on and data sync had me at 99% with no battery enhancers just the rom. usually w froyo and SetCPU i would have 10%of my batt decreasing per hour even w/out use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aray213:
I have noticed an increase in battery life. I must note that most of the time I have been either at the office or at home where I have WIFI calling on at both locations. I think it has to do with the WIFI not getting shut off now when the phone goes to "sleep". Before every time I would wake it up it would reactivate WiFi calling and now it is always on. With that being said I am noticing about double the battery as before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bhatch:
Learn to read!

Look genius, my point is that battery life hasn't got any better with the "upgrade". It is exactly how it was with froyo and I had the same settings on my phone. I'm not gonna get into the tired old battery discussion and what I'm doing right or wrong. You are missing the point completely.

To respond to your GPS and Email "points". I have tested "on my phone" GPS on or off and and makes zero difference for me. The icon is never on unless I'm using an app that uses GPS.

As far a email push goes, I don't know how to set it so that it pulls emails every 15 minutes. All can find is sync or no sync. Even if you can explain that one to me I guarantee you it isn't the source of this MAJOR battery drain.

I guess all I have to do is turn the phone completely off to get great battery life right? No data, no phone, no gps, no display use, it should be able to last for days!! (although some how I think the battery will still drain :-P)

Like I said before,

Battery life hasn't improved and the phone still reboots, hooray upgrade!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
FYI people. Also remember apps that take tons of memory or cpu or run all the time kill battery. I love GoSMS and the Go apps but they killed my battery and memory usage so I had to say bye bye bye
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Helixdimension:
you're rooted, therefore ANYTHING can go wrong flashing any untested or not tweaked.

I updated thru LG updater while rooted and when it booted(I then lost root) as gingerbread my battery meter wasn't accurate at all. it read 32% but was 90% after I hard reset and reverted back to stock rooted.

it works now after updating once again but this time I started off unrooted
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
I want to know what kind of battery life you guys are getting to be complaining like this. I get 24 hours using various tricks and could pull around 16 without.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
I got tired off disabling everything, I'm constantly on my phone and hate having to charge every 5 hours I never had to do this with my iPhone 3g, now I'm gonna buy a cheap extended 3500ma battery off of eBay for less than $10.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rolandoagarcia:
I Totally agree its way better
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sellingfear:
I was on rooted stock with bloat ware removed before update. And battery life was tolerable at best. Left rooted when I updated (lost root of course) And now in the first day of use my battery lasted all day. First time ever I might add. So for me battery life has improved greatly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dabajan:
I agree. Battery life on the stock GB update is better. If you really want to extend it however, you could simply go:

Settings>Wireless & Networks> Mobile Network Settings and uncheck Mobile Data. Just turn it on when you want to. Of course this kind of defeats the purpose of a smart phone, but it WILL extend your battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bronk93:
I was stock unrooted and used the LG update tool and noticed right away the device was improved. Data connection issue for me was fixed, much better battery and GPS locks in seconds.
