[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suresh13:
Hi all..

I've tried searching for answers to my question for ages and its a no-go so i'm posting it here.

So here's my problem. My contacts are synced on google (not phone or sim) and their names are not the same as in facebook. When I sign in to facebook, as usual we're given 3 choices:

- Sync All

- Sync with existing contacts

- Remove facebook data

If i choose the 2nd (sync with existing contacts), only a few gets synced as not all of my contact's names are the same on my phone and on facebook. So i choose Sync All, and then manually join the contacts.

I'm on Darky's 10.2, and on TiBu what system app should I backup the data so the contacts i joined manually are retained when I flash a new rom with a full wipe? If i just flash a new rom everything disappears even after i've signed in to google and synced all my contacts. All their pictures are gone.

BTW I dont use the samsung's built in SNS account and have even deleted them off my phone.

Should I backup the contacts application? I've been trying many things and all dont seem to work. I just dont know which system app data to backup.. Its a pain to rejoin each and every contact after every reflash (which I do a lot)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helboy618:
Titanium backup. It might be the greatest app for android. I have backed up with titanium then a full reset and full wipe flash then restore with titanium and it is as if nothing even happened. I have ran in to the issue with using a different Rom then the backup and restoring the system data can screw things up. So I just go into titanium and choose only my contacts, wifi and Bluetooth parings.

I know exactly what you're talking about, did you find a solution for that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You've quoted a over year hold post, chances are that you won't be getting a answer from him eh.

Restoring a system app is ALWAYS a bad idea, so don't go for that option. I never looked for a option myself but there should be a way to manually backup your current contacts (with pictures and everything) to google.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nick43137:
Okay well my phone did fine on stock 2.2.1, but I wanted to root it and such so I did.

I rooted the device with the SuperOneClick method, and was going to install the Infused v2.1.0 ROM. I followed all the instructions, flashed the kernel it told to to flash, and then download and installed the ROM via ROM Manager.

It was taking too long (~30 minutes later), so I just pulled the battery. It then was on a boot-loop, so I reset back to stock via the Odin the same guy that developed Infused provided.

I'm back at stock and not rooted, but I can't get any internet...I can call though. The only way I can get internet is setting up an Access Point with the Cingular WAP settings...but, even then, I can only browse the web and cannot download applications or anything...

If anyone could help me in anyway, it would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Hi everybody!

I've recently installed mango on my HD2 (awesome os btw) and while taking photos with a camera-button, they are all blurry (because hd2 doesn't have a 2 press button for camera). Now in mango you can click on the screen and then it focuses.

What I've seen is that photos have a different tint when taking pics with focus or without it. When you focus first it does some color correction and it's almost as it's a HDR (the brights are not as hard as they are in preview or on pics without focusing first).

In the attachment you can find the comparison. The first two pics show the difference of focusing or not before taking a picture. Note the increased color vibrancy and contrast.

For the last photo I don't have a comparison, but on the image without focusing first the light of the lamp was blown out and everything else was too dark. This time it's almost as it was shot with HDR.

Now I don't really know if anybody has noticed this on official devices, but if you can, try taking a picture of a dark room with a bright light source, with and without focusing. I'm sure it will make a difference. I'll try later to take some more pics. But this is interesting :D Maybe that's one of the 500 new features.

NOTE: these images were not edited with photoshop! Only the brightness of the first 2 was increased by 100 units, because it was a dark picture. The last one is the original one. Also: these were not "auto-fixed" in WP first

EDIT: One other thing I'm noticing now is that the screen brightness changes when viewing these photos. The screen goes brighter when viewing the photo with focus. Microsoft is probably playing the eye-candy-game with us by manipulating the color/brightness and contrast of the photo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trolololo:
Hi to everyone,

i'm having some troubles with gps and navigation (tried every tool on the market to fix it or understand if the n1 had locked at least satellites but nothing happened)

so hoping that it is a fw problem i would try to flash to FRG83 and then upgrade again to GRJ22.

Now it runs GRJ22, unrooted, locked bootloader, S-ON and came back from htc support service about 2 weeks ago cause the power button decided to stop (so it has upgraded to GRJ22 by OTA as i turned it on) and i'm in italy, so i'm worried that the fw it installed with the OTA came from Vodafone T_T.

I Tried to copy the FRG83 in the sdcard root as PASSIMG.zip but it says "Main version is too older, fail" i've tried also with GRI40 but nothing happened.

I tried to follow the guide using android sdk adb and fastboot (htc has changed its dev website from developer.htc.com to htcdev.com and all the link to fastboot were redirected, and on the new website there isn't any link to fastboot) but when i type "fastboot-mac flash $partition ($partition).img it says "fail, verification signature error".

I had some googlefu but couldn't find nothing T_T

Can anyone help me??

I just don't like to send the n1 to the htc support service again and stay 2 weeks without it :S

edit: i forgot to say it is an SLCD n1 :S

edit2: fastboot-mac getvar mainver : 2.18.151.4

Been running Superkid's MIUI rom on my Desire S but now my wife has that phone so I picked up a Sensation yesterday (used, one month old and for a good price), my only disappointment is the screen which I have just discovered is AUO, and the lack of a MIUI port. Is there one in the works?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
There's one, but it's not 100% working as it's a port and not developed by MIUI. Check the Dev forum.

As for the AUO screen, it's not that much worse than the Sharp screen (I've had both)
[HTC Sensation] ems328i:
Ok cool, but does the Sharp screen change the tint when pressed? That's what's really bugging me, on websites like this one when you touch the screen to scroll the tint changes slightly but noticably....

its not supposed to lag that much even on stock rom, mine worked very well while i was using stock 2.2.2, try Milestone Overclock from market, its not a solution but it may help you
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
It can be 2 things.

1. You updated from 2.1. If this is your case all what your phone needs is a wipe using recovery (data and cache)

2. You need to increase your vm.min_free_kbytes to 4096 or 8192.

You do this using either SetVsel, or downloading Sysctl from the market.

Hope this helped :-)

Recently i've noticed that when i go to make a call , after i press CALL it switches on the speakerphone. Also when i recieve a call the speakerphone is automatically activated, which usually deafens me at the same time haha.

Is there an option to turn off this feature? Or is it a bug?

I'm on stock 2.3.4, i'm pretty sure this problem didn't happen before the update.

I apologise if this issue has already been raised, i did do a search but found nothing.

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
FIXED!

Don't think it was a problem with VU.

but i found the problem to be within the default settings of portable wifi hotspot.

it could be something related to my mobile operator, but i found following the following procedure worked a treat! i now have internet access through my tether! yay!

From your homescreen;

Menu/settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Names

You should see the following three APNs;

Orange Internet

Consumer Broadband

Orange MMS

(that "consumer broadband" one is the one I don't remember seeing before, but I may have been blind. If you don't have it, go ahead and {assuming it's a clean factory-issue Orange Desire obviously} Unrevoke your Desire!)

Select Consumer Broadband (THAT's "CONSUMER BROADBAND" that needs to be Selected NOT the other two)

CHANGE the APN from "consumerbroadband" to "orangeinternet"

CHANGE the Username from <Not set> to "Orange"

CHANGE the password from <Not set> to "Multimedia"

Press your Menu button, tap "Save"

And that's it.

[Wildfire General] tyrannosauRoss:
So I rooted my phone today and HATE CM7, it's ugly, outdate in appearance, backwards, fussy, complicated (maybe not given it enough time here and pron to hatred of change) but after a couple of hours just don't like it at all. Hate how menu's have changed.

Hasn't even sped up my phone for typing, there's still that annoying delay and that;s with the phone being empty on applications.

And to make matters worse for txt messaging it's taken away valuable screen space to read txt messages when typing.

How do I get my phone back to be totally 100% stock/factory.

Sadly I now have lost all my settings so will never have my phone back to 10o'clock this morning, but sooner I get off this eye raping monstrosity the better!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
LOL at rant

Anyways, to answer your query: If you had taken a Nandroid backup prior to flashing the new ROM, just perform a Nandroid Restore.

if you had not, flash this ROM. Its stock Froyo Sense:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877977

Steps for installing the ROM above:

- Flash this attachment in Clockworkmod. It will give you temporary 2.5.0.7 (Green Text)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218

- Once you have that, Select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". Let it perform the Wipe

- Then select the Option "Install Zip from SDCArd", Select the ROM Zip file, let it install, and reboot.
[Wildfire General] austendale9:
P.s. Cyanogen supports the theming of everything. And the wildfire in general suffers from the bad keyboard. It's the processor :(

It's not ugly, download a CM theme like NTSense which makes it look like sense, then download go launcher ex and download a sense theme for that.

You'll regret leaving CM. Battery life and speed rock.
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
ok i cant remember exactly how but you need to sync facebook calender to your google account calender. there is a setting somewhere in facebook to export calender then use the link to import to google account. i have mine syncing perfectly.
[Wildfire General] tyrannosauRoss:
After my rant I have gottne used to it, still don't think it's the prettiest thing!

Going to leave it now, for abit longer, even thinking of trying others!

Didn't do a Nandroid backup...well not to my knowledge.

Some things I am missing!

Pressing the home button while on home screen used to bring up the launcher menu, any what to make this happen again?

I imported contacts as my sim card wasn't showing contacts and now I appear to have two sets of contacts. How do I delete one set?

When I get a txt message it gives me their facebook name. I am 90% sure facebook is unsynced. How do I stop this?

Apart from that it seems to be going better. Magical dissapearance of the keyboard at times requiring a reboot but other than that not much more.

If options for the above can't be sorted will just do a fresh install, don't have much to redownload anyway.

Are they any significant hardware differences between the two versions?

Are you getting the wifi-only version? then no hardware difference and you can set locale.

If 3G version, there are some differences but I think there may be workarounds.

Hi,

I have a same problem with stucking on sending recovery...can u tell me how to resolve the problem??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
firstly, make sure you're phone is actually seen by the PC tpye in cmd (if you;ve got fastboot setup)

fastboot devices

should come up with you're phones serial number. If nothing comes up then a) if havent got fastboot/ SDK setup, or b) you're S-ON.

Secondly make sure you're S-OFF... if you're not you can't flash things..

thirdly, if you're S-OFF and your phone IS seen, make sure you're in FASTBOOT and not in BOOTLOADER.

to boot into fastboot you poweroff then hold BACK and POWER. or you boot it from the bootloader..

my advice to you, nothing else I can think of. At least when I'm not sober anyways
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mullamadd:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] =JP:
You can download the original RUU from xda rename update put on SD. power off fastboot should run it back to stock I would then use alpharev's site to S-OFF easiest & safest. I'd run it through Virtual Machine as it saves wasting discs just remember to keep turning USB device on as it will unmount a couple of times during the procedure!

Its more convenient an easier.

Just download ,then on windows you have to install fastboot drivers, the site will give you a betakey (for that you have to type in some phone information), extract the folder ,start revolutionary as admin ,then make sure usbdebugging is enabled an connect to charge only , type in beta key an hit enter.
