[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
THANK YOU!

Why would anyone want their entire GMAIL contacts synced to their phone? Please, is there no other way?

Thank you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I think you can set up gmail and the phone to only sync a subset of contacts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
You can. Best set up at gmail.com

You can set too sync...not to sync and can set predetermined groups. (in the past user created groups would not sync I have not played with that in several months)

once set up properly the whole google sync thing is pretty slick.

One can also login to multiple gmail accounts on the phone.

I have two currently...the main log in which is personal/phone

And a secondary account which is work

Keep in mind that changing the main phone account requires a hard reset.

Within the phone you can set up which contacts are pulled from gmail like including only contacts with phone numbers etc.

How is the battery life for the HD2 with WP7 compared to Android? I'm getting about 10 hrs of moderate use, will I see better battery with WP7?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Serious_Beans:
No one has an answer? :/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] saffirewing:
Seems to vary among ROM's and builds. I'm using 7592 with Marketplace, and I'm averaging about 8 hours without recharge. This is with most of the location, xbox, and updating options turned off, or to manual. I really believe Android is better in this respect. But, it is a beta (green mango) rom, so I'm hoping it will get ironed out in the future.

On average you should expect around 8-10 hours, if not more. You can also try the camera trick to see if it works for you.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] eXtremeLT:
On nodo/prenodo wp7 with hard usage it wouldn't last that much as u mentioned, anyway, i'm right now on blacksides green mango, and with max hard usage i'd able to do - it will beat those 10hours, and on standby(just calls+sms) i was able to get 4,5days, and with pretty hard usage i had 2days.(like 3-4times difference between prenodo/nodo with green mango for me)

Question one: did you flash a custom kernel? I am going to guess no

Question two: why overclock? I UNDERclock because the thing still flies, and underclocking saves battery.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] The_Hamster:
Yeah, been runnig this one fine for a week, but suddenly half of my texts keep failing. Sometimes it works to do a search for a new network, but other times i just got to wait for hours before it works. I have tried with a new SIM-card from my phone-company, but the problem persists.

Any clue to what the problem is?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tiboric:
i have the same problem but only when packet data is enabled, try disabling packet data and see if you can send txt..
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Ok so I rearranged all my icons into my own order(custom arrangemwnt), however everytime I restart my phone the icons move somewhere else by themselves. Sometimes it happens to only some icons while others remained where they were placed. Can anyone help?
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
No doubt has something to do with the apps that are on sd as the phone would load the internal memory then the sd card.

It is something you will have to ask Sony Ericsson to fix in their next update.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Oh thanks man, that would definately make sense because now that you pointed it out, I noticed it started to happen after i started moving apps to the sd card because of a lack of space. Thanks man, now i know. Very sloppy on Sony Ericson's part. That's why they were listed as one of the companies who would go under in 2012. I find alot of things on this phone sloppy, corrected only by downloading external apps.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It's cause the default sony launcher is rubbish, The SD Card isnt mounted until 10 seconds+ after boot, so it either forgets order or dosent even loads apps on the SD Card :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Well thank god my apps actually load, though not in the order i want them to. So if I used a differentdifferent launcher and set it as default, would that correct the problem?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Yep, i use Go launcher, but Launcher Pro seems to be alot of peoples favourite :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Hey phreshjoker, thanks for the vids!

Just a suggestion though, maybe you should try to become a Youtube partner. This stuff will be so helpful to the community and you'll get tons of views too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
i might do it later, but now i want it for people that need it most. so ill help you guys on and give me ideas to make more videos.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehjeh:
You do a really great job at making your videos easy to follow. Thanks for your work! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Thanks for the feedback man!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
hey man great video, but I have a question. I noticed that when you were flashing kg4 rom leak thru odin you checked re-partition option, I heard this is a big no no. I hear you're supposed to leave that unchecked or else you can brick your phone. Is it because is a gingerbread rom that you checked that option?? I'm just wondering thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Gingerbread did that itself! See I thought the same. But one time I got scared and unchecked it and it bricked my phone so... I left it on!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
And don't touch the re-partition button. At all don't even look at it. If its checked then I guess its checked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
thanks for the response, but yeah I just read another thread and I guess it does have to be checked on. I just wanted to double check you know thanks man.

edit: also even though the video was a great source, I also think you should tell people to make sure voodoo is disable after or even before flashing the gb rom. Some people may forget. After all, the kc1 comes with cwm + voodoo lag fix so I would assume the lagfix is enabled????
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stugotz13:
Can you post links to the files you used? There are many similar names out there right now. Thanks in advance for finally getting me to CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
The links are in the description :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stugotz13:
I figured it out. The first link isnt pasted correctly. Thanks again for all the great effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
oh thanks! imma go edit it out right now!! and no problem man
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
Hey man quick question when you Odined kc1 and the kg4 leak, did you also take out the battery like you did when you odined drhonks kernel like you showed in the video?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
I took it out after everything so I cab reboot back to download mode quucker! Hahah
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
Sounds good to me bro
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
hahah yeah i think this was a fun video to do.. do you have any suggestions on a different video?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:
You might want to make a video for first timers on how to root the phone for their first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Thrres so many ways how though :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
You could make a video on rooting GB, cause there are only two methods drhonks kernel and the fugumod for root.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Smart!!!! Awesome thanks! Gonna start on in straight tomorrow. Right now I have to wait for phone calls so ill do it asap!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DirtyPISTOLA:
OMG man thanks alot your post totally helped me I finally got a GB rom on my phone for some reason i thought i was doing it right and always got a softbrick and had to odin back to 2.2 it sucked but again thanks man followed your video to the "T" and bam got it thanks brotha.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
I'm very glad that you're up and running! And I'm very glad that my video helped you! It makes me feel accomplished! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Even though I've followed these directions to a 'T' multiple times and everything installs fine, I'm not retaining CWM.

I install the WhiteHawkx KC1/CWM -- installs fine and I get CWM when it boots.

Then install the ICBINB KH1 (even tried KG4's install as well but same result).

Then I install Dr. Honk's KG4 stock.

When I boot back up, it takes me into Android System Recovery and not CWM. Frustrating as I've installed using these procedures multiple, multiple times. I'm wondering whether I have the wrong Dr.Honk's KG4stock -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194032. I got it from another post that had written directions.

Any help you guys could offer on whether the files I'm using are correct as the video has everything but Dr.Honk's KG4 stock linked. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stugotz13:
Followed to a tee and after loading ICBINB phone keeps shutting off and re booting. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Guyss... Go to kc1 first thrn flash kg4.,make sure everythings correct.With gb bootloaders. And for the recovery. Flash Dr. Honks KG4 kernel. If it bootloops then Odin back to kd1 deodexed by whitehawkx. That ll keep the gb bootloaders, then go to that cwm. Or disable voodoo!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Okay, went back and Odin'd/flashed everything and finally got to hear Linda's sexy computer voice! :)

I am having issues with the Marketplace app having gone missing. Not sure why that happened but will need to get it addressed. Any suggestions anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Uhmm do a factory reset in the privacy settings
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
yup like phreshjoker said, do a factory reset thru privacy settings, many people did this and it worked. It worked for me, I had the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Thanks! That did the job! Lovin' the latest GB build -- but was wondering if there was any way to get rid of the "shutting down" voice that goes on and one about Android, etc...Not a big deal but somewhat annoying since I can't seem to shut 'Linda' up! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
I don't quite think so! Hhah well since your on gingerbread you can't change it cause of the kernel! Sad day isn't!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
So if I reflashed with ICBINB, the kernal is detached, eh? Hmmmm...this is probably a noob question but is the user interface/look and feel like GB? I thought GB was the latest and greatest but it sounds like it may not be. IRS that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
If I had to guess you might be able to take the sound out using Root Explorer. Should be in /system/media. If it's there just delete it. I know for sure a boot-animation sound would be in that folder. So there might be an off chance a shut down sounds might be in there as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll take a look at that folder and see if I can locate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
But I think it would be linda talking so I think its more hidden.. idk see and check!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Just out of curiosity, anyone know why I'd get a SD format error from Linda "not enough room on card" when I had to reinstall and used Titanium backup? Everything went through the first time I installed and the card was formatted properly.

Do I just reformat the card again using the same EXT4 directions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Go to advanced in CWM and partition sdcard and partition 2048mb and partitioning will delete everything so back everythin up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
1024 has worked for me too. Some reported that not working though. *shrug*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
ive only used 2048 cause that 1024 didnt work :P_
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
Noob.

Trying to flash to INFUSED V2

one step says to DELETE the RECOVERY file.

Can I rename it instead (like "Recovery2")?

Why delete when I can rename?

Noob

Thanks so much!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Rename should work fine. Untested though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
thanks!

If I delete it, though, how will I recover my phone in case something goes wrong (sorry is this a stupid question?)?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The kernel in Infused comes with an alternative (and standard in the third-party Android world) recovery called Clockworkmod Recovery. Deleting the "original" recovery prevents it from interfering with CWM.

Also, even if you delete Samsung's 3E recovery and CWM is hosed, the phone still has download mode (aka Odin/Heimdall mode). Odin/Heimdall can be used to recover the phone from anything except a bad bootloader flash. Our phone has a lot of protections against this, to the point where there is a grand total of 1 hardbricked Infuse, and that was a volunteer running a known dangerous experiment.

For more information on your "safety net" look at AdamOutler's Heimdall One-Click or gtg's Ultimate Unbrick. (These are basically the same thing with different user interfaces.)

Does anyone else who have a seidio active case thinks it smells really bad like some chemicals? My arrived awhile back it the odor is terrible. I left it out in hopes the smell would evaporate but it still haven't.

Ya I'd say the Nexus Devices from here on out will be Motos.

But I'm really more interested in the patent troll wars.... Google just gained an instant army larger than both Apple and Microsoft..

Hell, motorola invented the cellphone... gonna start seeing google taking the fight back to Apple with their lameness.

- Patent 1: Handheld device with screen... check

- Patent 2: Handheld device that makes calls... check

- Patent 3: Handheld device with cellular radio... check

Bring on the 'suits!

I want Apple paying a royalty every time someone dials a number or looks at their screen.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jojogeo:
Hi All,

I have and inspire 4g with stock rom on it. The issue is that when someone calls me, they hear my phone ringing but I dont hear any ringtone so missed that call even though I have about one or two bars on my H network status.

Now i would like to flash a new rom which can fix this issue and also give me HTC sense 3.0 . Can anybody suggest a sollution to the problem or a rom which can give me these.

Thanks a lot in advance.

jo
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I had this problem a lot when I first got the phone. I tried a lot of different things before I finally just accepted it as network issues. But at the same time, recently I have not been dropping as many calls or seemingly missing calls, so it's possible it has to do with the setup I'm currently running which is as following:

ROM - Virtuous Unity v1.29

Kernel - Unity v3

Radio - 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M

RIL - 2.2.0153HM
[HTC Inspire 4G] jojogeo:
Thank you for the reply.

I would like to get a similar setup on my inspire. I am pretty new to this scence. So do you have links on how I can get these loads on my phone. Will fashing Virtuous Unity give me the radio and RIL or are there different individual methods for it? Also, do you still have htc sense 3.0 with this config?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
yes unity is sense 3. yes a new rom will change your ril. no it will not change your radio. visit the hack kit thread to get u started. and mudknot has a good forum for beginners it's stickied in the general section. good luck
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
ROM - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122778 (this is a link to v1.31. There are links to mirrors for 1.29 towards the end of the thread, or just use 1.31)

Kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130350 (that's to v4 of the kernel, I'm sure v3 is linked somewhere in the thread, or just use v4)

Radio/RIL - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324

All threads have very good instructions on what needs to be done to install these things. Yes Virtuous Unity is a Sense 3.0 ROM.

If you haven't already, you'll need to start here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352) and Root/Unlock/S-Off the phone, then flash the ROM, then flash the Kernel, then flash the Radio, then flash the RIL (order of last 3 doesn't really matter).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jojogeo:
Thank you for the links. Will try this today and let you know how it went. Also can I backup these stock rom and radio/RIL etc before I do this. I know you can backup the existing rom when i am on a custom rom, but is it possible with the stock rom? Same for the radio?

Thanks

John
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
No way that I'm aware of. However this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) is a tool that's developed/being developed to return you to bone stock, unrooted (ROM, Radio, RIL, S-On. don't know if it reverses SIM unlock and SuperCID).

So I accidentally deleted the original bootanimation.zip when I was trying to install another bootanimation. I paste a bootanimation.zip file in the system/media/ folder and reboot but I still get a black screen. I even tried the /data/local/ folder and again same results. Anyone know where I am supposed to be this file as nothing works? Thank you in advance.

Did you set the right permissions before rebooting? It's in /system/media and permissions is 'rw-r--r--' ;)

Under what order to I select rw, r, r? Just want to make sure since its been so long since i have messed with bootanimation.zip

@androhero I'm no closer than when I got the play, I'm really just an end user with some basic knowledge and how to make this work is over my head :confused: But maybe when things get settled with the bigger development things going on one of the brighter heads here could take it on. One could think of freexperia team ;)

[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Thank you for the screenshot, I applied what you showed me and I am still not getting a bootanimation when I reboot. Still getting black screen. I will try a different bootanimation file, maybe the one I am using is bad or maybe the phone does not like it. Thank you for your help though Dousn I realy appreciate it.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my bootscreen is not working?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:

Then reboot and try again.
[Motorola Droid X2] primetime34:
I have a Droid X2 and I was playing a game when it reset. It is running pre-rooted gingerbread. After it reset, the phone won't unlock. The screen comes up, but I cannot slide the unlock icon across the screen. If somebody calls me, I can slide to answer, I can touch to hang up, but I cannot go the home screen. I did a factory wipe but that didn't fix anything. Any thoughts on what I can do before I figure out how to sbf on Ubuntu?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Id just sbf from virtualbox that runs windows. I run 7 x64 and to cut down on bloat that's how I do it. Works like a charm.
[Motorola Droid X2] cash_back:
Its actually easier to sbf in ubuntu than in windows, look up how to use sbf_flash.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Why is this posted in the dev forum? Please post in the correct sections.

To answer your question, you will most likely need to SBF, something got screwed up. Google "rsd lite on Ubuntu", plenty of information on the subject.
