So you've tried People > View > Then only have your google account ticked?

Because when i do that none of the contacts from my other accounts show up anywhere else...
[HTC Sensation] tommiwan:
I did do that. And on the people screen (which I believe is just the contacts application) those settings are honored. Even with those settings set properly when I go to the main phone screen I see sim contacts mixed in with my google contacts
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
weird..

The only other thing i'd suggest is moving your sim contacts over to the phone, so they will show up as phone contacts, then hide everything else and see if that makes a difference.

Other than that you might have to delete/unsync all the other accounts with your contacts.
[HTC Sensation] tommiwan:
Ya, it's interesting. The people screen definitely pulls a different list than the main phone screen. I removed all contact sources from the people screen so that I see no contacts at all, then on the main phone screen nothing changed. I still see google and sim contacts.

Is there a way to delete all contacts and just start over without wiping my phone?
[HTC Sensation] Ivanstein:
Well, for the love of god, don't put skype on your phone then. Skype totally raped my contacts list. I have all these random weird contact names in there now that I have no idea who they belong to. It seems that Skype doesn't like to fill out the contact info very well on the mobile device.

Who the hell is bootmomma? LOL! I would really like to get this issue sorted as well. If I find a way without sorting it by hand, I will let you know. The only other way I have found is to sync everything to google and then use the merge duplicates, then sync everything back. Also, there is an app that I use called "Contacts Cleanup" that formats all the numbers on the device to a uniform ###-###-####, which I like. Becareful when linking contacts between types, because sometimes it confuses different things. It has caused me to get numbers interchanged and stupid things to happen, especially when allowing <ahem> Skype access to the address book.

That's the best I have. Hope maybe it helps you a bit.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
To wipe all of your contacts go to settings> applications & find contracts storage & wipe that.

A for skype just choose not to sync your contacts in the actual application. They'll still show in the app but won't import to the phone's contact list
[HTC Sensation] Johnsonyc:
Got the same problem as well! thanks for xnifex's idea I am doing it now

Hi all,

We have the following problem:

when we start the samsung softphone, it renders in top-left corner of the screen instead of taking up full screen (see attached picture).

We are aware that application was designed for low res however is there any way to force the app to run in VGA mode?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

PS. It's all part of Samsung OfficeServ 72xx series package.

Many thanks.

Has anyone had any issues with Exchange emails after the update. The old email client worked with no issues. Once I updated I must refresh manually to get emails. Everything is set to push - same way it was before. I've tried a reset on the tablet. Deleting and recreating the account and still have the issue. Tried with and without SSL and still same thing. Honestly I liked the older version better than this one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jbhorner:
I have had the same problem, actually. I saw that it was also complaining about the security policy, so I deleted and re-added the account. I did this last night, so I don't know if it's fixed the issue. (My tablet isn't with me.)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] admiral_k:
Similar problem here - it's constantly refreshing the whole inbox and then displays no e-mails at all.

After about 5 min., e-mails are back - but 5 min. later, all are gone again and the resync process starts.

Tried to delete and re-enter the account a number of times, no change.

Seems, the implementation is choking on my 1800+ inbox subfolders...

Touchdown HD works flawlessly!

Any ideas regarding that?

Best regards,

Klaas.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
The Exchange connection is buggy. I've tried it on the Xoom, the original issue Tab and the TouchWiz Tab. Lots of problems.

I didn't want to use Touchdown but since the native email app isn't working that's what I've been doing. Touchdown works good, it's just that the interface isn't nearly as polished as the native email app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] njfoses:
Agreed, I havent used moxier mail personally but it is another alternative as well. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moxier.mail.tablet.trial
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ph00ny:
There is the issue with the different versions of exchange.

I think my firm is on exchange 2010 and my email syncs fine without an issue
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] njfoses:
But does your email widget update properly if your tab is not touched for a few hours but connected to wifi?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
I tried Moxier and the workflow isn't as good as Touchdown.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dwg44:
Mine is working now. Not sure what did it. I removed the weather and time widgets from my home screen (use beautiful widgets now) and for some strange reason when I went back into the market (it had been set up and used previously) it asked again which gmail account to use. Try going into the sync settings and confirm all entries for Google account or recreate google account and see if it works. Not sure why it would affect Exchange emails but now it is working.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Markstar:
Hi,

I'm going to the states soon and wonder if I can just walk into a store and buy a prepaid SIM card that will work with my GSM TP2.

Or do I need "special" CDMA cards?

All I want is to have a number for emergencies, etc..

Thanks in advance! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you have a GSM Rhodium, then you'll need to get a SIM from a GSM carrier here. AT&T and T-Mobile are the top two GSM carriers here. CDMA carriers do not offer SIM cards to anyone except for their own customers going overseas as far as I know. As long as your device is SIM unlocked, then yes, you can just put any SIM card in it, and it will work.

3G coverage will be based on your device model. European Rhodium models will not get US 3G service. AT&T 3G services work on the 850 & 1900 UMTS bands. T-Mobile 3G is on the 1700 & 2100 UMTS bands. The device needs both to work properly on one carrier's 3G service.

I am looking for some input as if the Sprint Nexus S 4g running 2.3.5 can be rooted. I have rooted an EVO before (running an older version of android) but I am having tons of trouble rooting this phone. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devlogic:
My Nexus S 4G is running stock 2.3.5, and is rooted. After the GRJ90 OTA, I had to re-install clockworkmod and reflash the su.zip, but with the bootloader unlocked, that's a pretty trivial task.

If you're starting with a brand-new NS4G, like, just bought it this morning and all that's happened is the 2.3.4 -> 2.3.5 OTA, then you'll need to start by unlocking the bootloader. Search is your friend; there are definitely full unlock/root guides here on XDA. If you're looking for an executive overview, the command is "fastboot oem unlock". Then it's just a matter of flashing clockworkmod or another appropriate recovery for this device (crespo4g, not plain crespo), followed by flashing a zip with the su binary and Superuser.apk. Don't forget to disable /etc/install-recovery.sh
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgreene1014:
assuming the phone is new the bootloader is probably locked? Either way would you be able to point me in the right direction?

I just rooted mine with the 1 click method found on the NS4G section. Didnt mattered it was running 2.3.5
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Prolly gotta unlock it, boot up, drag su zip to USB storage then boot into bootloader and flash clockwork. Immediately select the recovery option and flash su from cw. Reboot. Using root explorer or the like, rename install.recovery.sh to something else. Add a .bak to it. Reboot into bootloader and flash cw. Then it should stick. Easier and faster to do than typing this on my nexus.

[Defy General] dilfatx:
I successfully rooted my phone using the superoneclick method through the computer. I then followed the video guide and downloaded the system recovery app which allows you to install a custom recovery.. i clicked on the button and asked to accept root access which I allowed.. I then rebooted my phone and went into recovery.. no custom recovery was installed.. so i booted my phone back and phone started up properly.. I then did the process once again and after booting into recovery I again noticed that the factory recovery was still on the phone. I then rebooted the phone again and thats when the constant reboot happened..

I did a wipe from the factory recovery and still not success..

I'm having trouble finding a suitable rom i can rename update.zip and attempt to install a rom that way..

also .. what are my options..

NOTE: This is the recovery installation method I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875233

NOTE: While in the stock recovery on the bottom of the screen this is what it reads.

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

.
[Defy General] patroclo7:
One thing: the installation of custom recovery is not expected to erase stock recovery; they can coexist. In order to enter stock recovery you switch on with volume down pressed, in order to enter custom recovery you press volume down while booting and the led turns blue.

In your present situation I think you are forced to flash a full sbf with rsdlite (fro windows) or with sbf_flash (from linux). You can find plenty of them in a sticky thread.
[Defy General] one2wan:
You did a factory wipe after a boot loop...... you have to flash full sbf.:cool:
[Defy General] dilfatx:
I understand that while holding down the down volume button then pressing the power button will get you into the stock recovery..

but can you break it down in the same simple manner on how to get into the custom rom?

I held the down volume button after pressing the power button and no light turned on..
[Defy General] dilfatx:
Yes I did.. didn't know what else to do.. wasn't near a computer was at work..

is an sbf file same as a zip file for rom?
[Defy General] one2wan:
With boot loop, have to test wipe cache/Dalvik cache first from custom recovery. If nok, test apply ZIP. If nok so ok, full flash is needed... You can't solve a boot loop with wipe from factory recovery...:rolleyes:

But now, before flash full sbf, do a wipe from factory recovery ! It's better.:cool:

And no ! SBF isn't as ZIP ROM !:mad:

SBF is applied via bootloader and ZIP is applied via recovery. It's definitively not the same thing ! You have to understand that before customize your Defy !:eek:
[Defy General] dilfatx:
I see.. I can't seem to get into the custom recovery.. hold down volume button and blue light doesn't turn on and nothing else happens.. i get sent back to factory recovery..

I have done a full wipe from the factory recovery and downloaded a file from here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy but after running rsdlite and selecting the file.. nothing happens.. the phone still shows its in recovery and nothing happens after pressing start on the program..
[Defy General] kenkoo611:
Have you entered the bootloader to flash the sbf?!
[Defy General] SpookyAwol:
Make sure you turn on your defy holding the up volume (not down) and power button to enter bootloader. Then you can use usb + rsdlite to flash a new sbf file (not zip rom!)
[Defy General] farsight73:
You have to know what custom recovery you installed. From your post above. You had installed the bootstrap recovery which is an app to enter the recovery. This bootstrap recovery doesn't have the blue light when you booting the phone. Only 2nd-init will have the blue light in booting and pressing volume down goes to boot menu.

1) you don't have to wipe anything for installing bootstrap recovery nor the 2nd-init.

2) if bootstrap recovery is installed, launch it from the app provided.

3) stock recovery don't flash custom update.zip.

4) I would suggest installing 2nd-init as it works even if phone is messed up.

Since this is my first android phone, I'm hesitant to flash a new ROM (I don't know how to flash either). So, when I saw the NOVA ROM, I wanted to try flashing a custom ROM, but I'm still undecided.
