[XPERIA X10 General] fav150:
Hoping someone can help, My Mrs phonebook is screwed up, she has duplicate entries for every contact she has. For example her contact for me has duplicated numbers;

Home,Mobile,Mobile,mobile,home,other,work,home,internet,Internet,internet,internet,internet.

Basically the same numbers and email address are listed over and over again for every contact.

Ideally i would like to import them to the pc and then edit and send back to the phone.

I have tried Google sync and doing it by gmail - no good. kept coming up with delete limit exceeded when i sync'd and now gmail has lost the contacts!

Sony Ericsson sync would not import contacts full stop. It sync'd calendar with no problems but contacts remained blank.

Can anybody help or suggest an alternative??

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] iCyDe:
lol same happened to me
[XPERIA X10 General] muzzl3:
Check that the display options are not showing multiple sources for the same contact, if so turn these sources off.

My suggestion would be to copy all contacts to your google account, and manage them there, then turn of all other sources for contacts.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connortn:
I have been using the Eris for about a year and very soon rooted it using jcase's "Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY" method. It was wonderfully easy and it's working fine but I wondered if there has been some newer updates/upgrades that would make it a bit better. I'm presently using Kitty/pageplus as my provider and very happy with it. I had pageplus turn off the data on the phone to prevent me from accidentally using up all my funds in the account, thus I am wifi only with internet.

The things I notice most about what I'm using is:

1. The wifi will not automatically connect sometimes to work wifi or local hotspot such as Books-a-Million. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on, which will cause it to then connect.

2. The touch screen is not as responsive as I would like. Sometimes I have to touch something 2 or 3 times to get it to "take".

3. Camera is very slow to take photos once I "click" or touch and hold the screen. I think I could speed up the photo recording process after the camera "clicks" by installing a faster mini-sd card. It's 8 gig, but 4x. It's just that the initial focusing/taking of the photo that is slow.

4. Wifi is quite slow to upload from bookmarks and general internet browsing. This might be processor speed. It's at 715Mhz at present, which was jcase's recommendations at the time. I'm seeing about 10-20 seconds upload most of the time.

5. I have a screen protector on. Could this cause a less sensitive touch screen?

6. I always have to try a bookmarked title twice. The first time it acts like it's going to do something but then goes back to the "bookmarks" page.

I await your advise/reccommendations...

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
have you tried installing a custom rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShredEight02:
So are you looking for help to fix these issues or suggestions for a newer device?

I would agree with jaymax on the nexus prime for an upgrade but if you want to try to remedy those problems, I would also concur with crimson and suggest to try out workshed's GSB ROM. It's super speedy and his latest build leaves me with no issues to discern.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
Worksheds gsb rom or condemned souls rom has always worked well for me. At the very least flash xtrsense.

Also regarding the camera speed issue that could be the autofocus. If you wanted to try it, there's a free app in the market to speed up sd cards that I've found useful and it may help you.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverespey:
GSB is the best choice so far, kept me from throwing the phone out the window
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
To OP's comment - being on PPC - about Wi-Fi, have you try changing your Advanced settings (turn on Wi-Fi settings, tap the "menu" key - you will see "Scan" & "Advanced" - 2nd. tab down is Wi-Fi sleep policy - and by default, it will turn-off or "sleep" when the screen turns off (which can be as fast as 30 or 60 secs depending on your settings with inactivity, etc.)

Try changing it to "Never" and see whether it will make a difference - and if so, you might want to leave it on Never when plugged in - this setting will use & drain battery faster. Typically, however, the device should reconnect with your preferred APN automatically once "awake" but ....

Being still on VZW with the grandfathered unlimited data plan, I would endorse CS's V18 Vanilla Rom (and, I've tried & flashed many of the other Roms, including GSB) as I've been using it since this May and the latest build is just awesome, stable with good battery life & running Google Maps 5.2 on it.

Both our FS lines are now eligible for upgrade & 4 months from going out of contract on the primary line, so I've been debating seriously of whether to renew or switch to the other bad guy, AT&T Mobility - which gets a solid 3G/4G signal at our home vs. only a marginal CDMA signal.

Going out of town for 10 days next week & being on the road, I've decided not to rush to rule out a free upgrade option if I renew/extended - the HTC Incredible 2 for free via Circuit City/TigerDirect/Comp USA online (or WireFly), as the best VZW could do directly online is $119.99 (new 2 year contract price is $149.99 this week) and I keep my unlimited data plan. With a bigger 4" screen & global option for travel (will unlock it & use own Sims, of course) - reviews have been favorable & seemed solid vs. others - of course, it will be EOL in probably 6 to 9 months (nothing new ....)

So do the old flashable wipe zips for the EVO 4G work for us or are they different? I'd rather flash one wipe zip before I flash a rom instead of going through the settings hitting a bunch of different ones each time I flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I tried caulkins format all and it didn't work, it said it was using some old scripting way.

[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:

[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
twrp has a "wipe everything" option, or something similar. I used it when flashing and so far, no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] SH4YD33:
It doesn't wipe the system partition. You have to do that manually..
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:

[HTC EVO 3D] walkingcorpse:
Might be a stupid question, but just to be clear: manually wiping with TWRP means going into the format menu and "formatting /system"? I'm just getting used to this recovery, still having amon ra flashbacks from my og evo days.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Correct

Appreciate my help? Thank me :D
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
Not sure what device you are coming from but Evo 4G we have always needed (strongly advised) to properly wipe/reformat before flashing. It wasn't needed in most cases if just updating nightlies but moving from rom to rom it was a basic requirement to prevent any bugs popping up from remnants of the previous rom.

I don't know the guys, any of them, personally but I don't know if it has anything to do with being lazy. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
This is what I'm talking about in the updater script

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23");

This should be doing the same thing that happens when you do it through recovery. And yes it is in the updater scripts that i have looked at. I'm looking at the OG EVO script now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gf_gollum:
So am I.

I'm in the process of installing every piece of downloadable software from ASUS in an attempt to get the APX driver. For everyone elses information none of the ASUS software tools seem to understand the concept of a proxy. They fail to connect to the internet and flag up an error - took me a while to remember I've been using a proxy for the lat3 years without incident. Disabled the proxy - I could download the ASUS tools

Just an FYI

(Still trying to find the Bl***y APX driver though - Its not in the USB pack - so it must be in the PC pack? - all squillion Mb or it!)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
If you mean so you can use nvflash it's the Nvidia APX driver, which you can't get from Asus. It's in the dev forum under NVflash sticky thread packaged up with the nvflash tool.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
Uh. I don't know what the hell you're talking about with ASUS and all that. It has nothing to with ASUS. The drivers you want are "NVIDIA APX Drivers" which could be found from nvflash.zip ( http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccda97c/n/nvflash.zip )

If you read the instructions,

Another thing to note is that BEFORE you run download.bat/download.sh

Make sure you downloaded a ROM that is in the .tar.bz2 format. Extract the .tar.bz2 using WinRAR and cut the 3 files and paste it in the /nvflash/ folder then run download.bat. Otherwise you might make another thread saying "OMG BRICK!!!!!!!!!!!" when it isn't bricked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gf_gollum:
Thanks for this clarification - I'd never read this particular thread - as its clearly labelled for Unbricking - and I haven't (yet) done that. I was reading the older (and apparently more complicated) - methods that were being used before nvflash made its appearance last month.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubeplayer:
I've tried Kenneth's alien Rom and was having issues with both the dialer app and the camera app - both were not installed I even tried flashing the stock cam and the d3 cam, neither did the trick. Fed up with that I installed Navalynt's Cherry pi rom and now the dialer works(whew!) but the camera app is still not appearing in the app drawer... I've already tried flashing both the stock cam and the d3 cam both did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treello:
I haven't had this at all... are you doing wipes before you install? After install are you restoring from a back up? Maybe that back up is the issue but every rom I have had none of those issues
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubeplayer:
Well, I think the problem was that I was doing wipes with Rom manager and not Tenfar's CWM... I'm gonna install Tenfar's and see if that works for me.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I think there is something wrong with the ROM... I installed it and had problems with the camera/camcorder apps, using both tenfars cwm and ROM managers cwm (* wiping with both). I uninstalled/reinstalled many times and eventually got it working. then my webtop was missing.... so i installed the webtop again and reloaded a backup I made of the alien build 3 with functioning camera app and it was gone again!! any ideas on this?

Edit- new build # 4 has fixes... I rebooted my stock backup with functioning stock camera/camcorder and loaded ROM. rebooted in recovery using both tenfar and ROM manager.. still no camera or camcorder.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Don't use Rom Manager for recovery. It doesn't wipe properly.

Use the recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500.

They seem to be the same, but they are not. Also, do not update CWM with Rom Manager.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I think I figured it out. I was wiping but not rebooting recovery. its working now. not sure how they are different to be honest with you aside from color rendering, they access the same android recovery mode, no? I have both because I have my backups from ROM manager and tenfars because everyone claims works better.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilkinansr92:
wait so what steps did you take to fix camera and recorder not showing up in app drawer? Couz i installed D3 cam and its gone too
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
I don't remember which recovery I used (tenfars or rom manager) but wipe everything then reboot recovery, not reboot now. Install from sd and then reboot now

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have had a look and googled and can not find anything.

I have noticed a few issues with the cooked roms I produce. On my thread one user noticed that you can not install a hotfix onto a cooked rom.

To get arround the problem I know you can add the hotfix in as an ext package in oskitchen, but it is a bit of a pain if you need to re-cook a rom each time you want to add a new hot fix.

Is it possible to change the security to allow a hotfix to be isntalled on a cooked rom after it has been flashed?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Trevor_g:
Dude - that looks like MOISTURE to me. I know, because I've dealt with that exact problem before on a Desire HD I was attempting to put a screen protector on (one of those fancy ones that used alcohol in the application process). The liquid seeped in to the edges of the screen, and ended up producing that exact same kind of "bleed" you're seeing. If not that, have you ever spilt anything on your tablet, or has any moisture ever come in contact with it?

The solution for me was to wait a few days - the alcohol eventually evaporated and left the screen good as new (took nearly 4 days to do, and that was with a fan blowing on it at night).

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yizhaq79:
No, no watter or cleaner or alcohol. Nothing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fezza:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] rey031:
This is alarming. I have a spot at almost the same location as the original poster. It's at the horizontal center near the bottom of the tablet. It's not a white spot. It's an area that is brighter than the rest of the screen and shows whatever color is on that area.

Please see attachment. I flipped my tablet and shot it from an angle so it shows better. I also adjusted gamma/contrast so it's easily seen. The display in the photo is pure white. The spot doesn't show when display is black but shows when there are bright colors on that area.

It seems to be on the LCD panel itself, under the glass surface.

I just bought this TF on Saturday, even installed a dead pixel tester app while in the shop and never noticed any defect. I first noticed the spot several hours later while using it for a while at home.

Will be returning this to the shop to show them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:

I have always hated Asus but the Transformer was so unique that I had to give it a try. This is my second one and the same thing happened.

Asus I know that your products/support sucked but I had hoped that you had learned from your mistakes.,.....guess not. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
Just out of curiousity, for all those that have this, do you have a dock and keep your TF on it all the time? Reason I ask is because the spot is directly (maybe half an inch) up from where the dock would charge the tablet. Maybe the constant charging burned something out. These tablets do get really hot when charging, especially right above where the connector goes
