How about small contact pictures when sync with google? It was the worst thing in previous fw, i hate it! When i set picture to contact, after sync with google that pix became small :( Maybe this terrible bug fixed in new fw?

To see big pix when contact calling me is very important for me...

Can Allshare be used in tge same way, or is it only for media files?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VGPOP:
I downloaded Kies and I connected Epic 4G touch through USB and it doesn't recognize it.

It's always "connecting..."

and nothing.

Anyone else with the same problem?

Windows 7 could not find/install a driver either for this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Yes and speaking of AllShare I downloaded it today and installed it on my HTPC and it worked like a charm. I can sit back on the couch and play what ever media I have on my phone on the computer.

I have a HTPC and its connected to my NON Samsung 42 inch 1080P tv. Now my phone cant talk to the tv but it can talk to the PC by having Kies and AllShare installed.

Kies is good to manage the phone via wifi and AllShare is good to play your media on your phone on the NON DLNA supported tv's ( via pc ).

Worked great, played a 1.5 hour movie today and not one skip, hicup or anything using AllShare. Also tested using pictures and music, all worked like a charm.

If you have a DLNA compatable tv from Samsung then you will not need AllShare installed on the pc. The phone will talk directly to the tv.

If you want to "manage" your phone ie sync, copy and move or just do managment type things I would use Kies. If you want to play your media on your tv then use AllShare.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Fyi, if you want to do the traditional usb connection sync, usb debugging in the application development settings must be enabled. Odd, I know, but it is the case.

If it just won't make calls and stuff, try updating profile and then PRL. If it is FC'ing all over do a factory data reset, reflash the ROM and kernel, flash the journal on zip as John suggested, then redownload apps. Do not restore any data unless you are sure it is good and absolutely need it.

[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
UPDATE: I got excited too early thinking the problem is fixed. It's just the google sync took too long. So, we still have to use magnifying glasses to view the tiny useless image for caller id picture.

One of my favorite feature on SE android phones is how uniquely it displays contact image while dialing or incoming call. That got messed up in previous update.

Now, it looks fine and the google image is not over writing the image selected on phone.
[Xperia Arc General] jjbbb:
I've still got the problem in 2.3.4, in case the phone book is sync with Google contacts.

How to fix the problem??
[Xperia Arc General] zangetsu2188:
The problem is still present in this update.

Tried using high res pics for my contacts.

Auto sync to Google contacts is enabled.

Viewed my contacts after the sync and picture size returned to low resolution.

Now I removed the check mark on "Sync Contacts" for a temporary solution and backed up the contacts on my desktop.

Sigh.
[Xperia Arc General] jerrytea:
In my current 2.3.3 fw, the contact pictures do not have this problem if you go into album, select a picture, click on options and set it as caller image. However, if you go into your contact list and change the caller image by editing contact info, this problem comes up. Either way it's still too much hassle setting caller image for every contact in the phonebook. I'll bear with the tiny photo sync-ed with Facebook for now.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I waited for more than a minute and the high res image stayed. Must be some slow sync at that time. You are right it doesn't work even if you set contact picture form gallery instead of setting from Contacts - Edit.

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

If that worked in 2.3.3, it doesn't any more in 2.3.4.:(
[Xperia Arc General] hygge:
I have solved this by adding the contact person manually as internal contact and not google contact. If you give it the same name it will automatically be linked to the google contact, you do not have to add any phone numbers, just an empty contact with the same name. This contact will have priority over the google contact and added highres pictures to the internal contact will be used instead of the small google/facebook contact.

I can see some reason to this, if you have 1MB pictures on over 100 contacts and you sync them all, that will cost allot for those who do not have unlimited data. Many users are not technically enough to be aware of this when setting up their new phone with a google contact, this could lead to allot of unhappy customers/users with huge bills just by synchonizing their contacts.

The other issue would be the huge cost of internal memory having 100MB consumed just to store high res pictures for 100+ contacts and time it might take to synchronize.

It might take some time to do this manually but once done the pictures will stay for the contacts. I do not mind this workaround to have high res pictures, but can see it might be a big hassle for those few how often reset their phones and would have to set everything up again and again.

Do any of you know where the contact pictures are stored? I would think the internal memory but I am not sure, I am only using high res pictures on a few of my contacts.
[Xperia Arc General] jatt101:
Use Sony sync for contacts and your images will remain the same.

not permissions, still no progress

Maybe I'm posting in the wrong forum ... ?

Let me know if there's some other group (irc?) which might have ideas?

So, it seems that the problem isn't permissions. At least insofar as I found in the ClockworkMod Recovery settings a selection to install su. So, that seemed to go fine, but afterwards I'm still getting "cannot mount /system/!" when I try to do a restore.

Still stumped. Looking for ideas.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HairyScot:
I had email contacts in Gmail and phone contacts in Outlook on my PC.

Some were for the same person so the names were the same in Gmail and Outlook. In some cases these were merged on my phone but not all, some appeared twice.

Not sure if there is any restriction on having same name contacts in Gmail and Outlook so to simplify matters I decided to dispense with Outlook and keep all contacts (email and phone) in Gmail.

Was this really necessary?

Now I notice that four mail contacts do not appear in the contact list on the phone. However they do get picked up by Gmail when I compose a mail.

Have synced a number of times but no change.

Can see no reason why these particular contacts should be missed.

The four contacts are all in "Other contacts" in Gmail.

Problem solved by changing Display Options / All other contacts.

However it is strange that only 4 out 15 entries in "Other contacts" were affected.

First of all, just for the future; the title "How ????????" doesn't attract people. The title should be a proper title about the topic of the thread.

On topic: Are you running stock ROM? Have you tried to type in *#*#CHECKIN#*#* on your dialpad? (*#*#2432546#*#*). This will force the phone to check for updates.

I mean automatic memory cleaner? What does it do? I've read the info and I don't quite get it to be honest...
[Android Apps and Games] martinsjt:
Hello,

Usually this kind of app allocates all the free memory available to trigger the OS low memory system.

This way the running apps are closed by OS itself according low memory system policies.

There are a lot of articles around the net explaining the android memory system and why Task Killers should not be used to free memory.

You can start with this article:

http://lifehacker.com/5650894/android-task-killers-explained-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

I use FMR Memory Cleaner that does the same.

Best.
[Android Apps and Games] marlove:
YAMC uses another method to free up the memory: each app receives a message from the OS to be closed. The way the running apps are closed is safe and it preserves the system's performance.
[Android Apps and Games] dynasticorpheus:
Just bought the app to support further development, looks promising!
[Android Apps and Games] MrEzzzkiel:
