Not that I've seen.. Technically if you have an Exchange 2007/2010 account, you can see those custom contacts you create whenever you add that Exchange account on to the phone. Since you'd be using Outlook primarily... there's your Outlook sync :). Basically syncing on WP7 is limited to contact management from e-mail services. This takes away a layer of responsibility from the manufacturer and M$ by making it the up to the user to manage his or her contacts online. This prevents the "Crap I lost my contacts, etc etc".
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Sneakyghost:
There's a way to achieve Outlook sync, alltho that is not very nice and also just a "workaround", but still offered by Microsoft. So its sorta reliable.

What you have to do is:

1. Download MS Office Hotmail Connector (32 or 64 bit depending on your version of Outlook, NOT the version of OS!)

2. Install, setup the Hotmail Connector to the same account as the one you are intending to use with your phone (live-id)

3. In outlook, in the folder view pane on the left hand side, you now see the hotmail account like a regular account. Now copy all contacts from your previous accounts contacts-Folder to the contacts-Folder of the Hotmail Account.

Depending on your preferred way to work you can now manually keep the two contacts-folders in sync (e.g use hotmail as a backup) or delete the Contacts from your main Email account and just keep the Hotmail-Copy. The latter is easier because you cannot automatically sync the two folders from what i gathered, yet it is safer to keep both, one as a backup.

Note 1: i keep both, because i run android (using gsyncit to sync outlook to the google account) and i rund WP7 (using hotmail connector to sync to ms account). it is a little hard to track changes and keep both in sync manually tho. I am still looking for a solution for this scenario - anyone? :D

Note 2: When i set up my live-ID back in the days i was able to use my regular gmail-adress as live-ID. I am not sure wether that is still possible. Anyhow, i can log into Hotmail Connector using that gmail-Live-ID just fine. A bit weird tho, it brings me straight to my Hotmail-Account (which doesn't have it's own Email) and syncs all contacts up to the MS Cloud, right from the Google Cloud, going all the way round my Outlook via a manual "sync". I actually admire that well working complexity, but still, it is not the ideal solution since the step inbetween, the sync of hotmail and google contacts folders in Outlook is not automated. And its not a straight sync either.

So whats a better or Safer way to backup contacts

Without loosing them ?

I just want to make sure if i loose my Phone or

want to clean my device to factory setting

I can reinstall my contacts & dont loose my Contacts

Please
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Sneakyghost:
Have your contacts on hotmail obviously. Keep them up-to-date with the hotmail connector. If you ever happen to lose your phone our want to reinstall then you will have your contacts back in no time.that works really well. The only problem is the Outlook-internal sync between two accounts.you can only avoid this issue of you jump ship to hotmail completely and give up your main email and contact provider, which is of course what ms world like you to do anyway.

Did anyone receive the HDMI adapter in the box for the AT&T Galaxy S II ? I read that it should be included but did not receive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmarquis:
Nope. Not in the AT&T box

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
Nope. It doesn't come with AT&T version. AT&T version, all you get is the phone, battery, ac charger, usb cable, $25 media hub (tv shows only), manuals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] doomstar288:
The infuse comes with one. The galaxy doesn't included one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locsplitter:
So a MiniUSB (or microUSB, whatever is ours) --> HDMI cable works from the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boondoc:
only if your tv has MHL built into it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xlr8shun:
curoius, do most newer tv's have MHL built in? or probably not?

all i can find when i type my tv's model number and MHL into google is.. my tv with some hockey info (NHL) hehe..

google is too smart for its own good sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ductapemaster:
Based upon what I've seen, you need a MHL adapter for the phone. Its just a little box that plugs into USB, and had a USB port on it for power input and an HDMI port. There's cheap out there, like this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gregh2000:
I have an MHL adapter and it does work but you need to plug the power into the thing in order for it to do anything. My receiver has usb and hdmi on the front so that works for me. It would be nice to have 1 cable, but this works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ductapemaster:
Unfortunately I believe that's the case with any MHL device. There's a chip inside that box that transcribes the MHL signal (coming over the 5 pin USB connector) to a full HDMI signal, and it requires power. It's not all that bad though, as you would probably want to be charging your phone while playing a video anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gregh2000:
Exactly it is nice it does have power. Unlike the ipad to vga dongle lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mpazevedo:
Eventually most of the high end TVs will have the MHL. You will still need the adapter but you will not need to power it. The TV will not only power your phone but charge it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] herr kartoffelkopf:
I pocketed the HDMI MHL adapter from my infuse when I returned it under the 30 day ATT trial... The screen was pixelated in my infuse in the top left hand corner so they were more concerned with my device being defective than me just not liking it and only asked me if the charger was in the box.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] vshun:
So I got on that newegg deal and got yesterday TF and a dock for $400. Impressed with a build and quality but scratch my head over how the tablet wake ups from sleep mode. What I see is whenever screen goes to sleep due to inactivity (2 min default), and I am trying to wake it up and hit the power button, then TF goes to a full boot sequence instead of just waking up.

I verified battery is full and I tried to update Firmware from 3.1 which it came with to HC 3.2 OTA but it did not help. Interestingly, whenever I manually put it to sleep (using power button quick press) and then turn it back on right away it seem to come right back, so the issue only occurs over either tablet going to sleep on its own or due to longer sleep interval.

I have a bunch of Android devices in family, staring with G1s which were replaced with Vibrants and later Sensations, as well as 7 inch tablets, all rooted, and all devices quickly recover from sleep using power button instant press. Am I having defective tablet or HC has different wake up protocol?

Thanks,

Vadim.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
at least yours goes to sleep mine wont, its a pain in the ass, i have the timer set to 15secs and the screen never turns off, i would take the sleeping issue over the non sleeping issue. try hitting your mouse button to wake from sleep. read somewhere that is how to wake it properly with the new firmwares.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vshun:
I would try mouse wake up if it would be in the dock, but most of the time I use it as a tablet. Any other option except for power button? For instance, Nool Color wakes up also from N button in front, but I could not find any other way on TF.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blessedswine:
outside the dock the only thing i can say is power button only way to wake, maybe try a factory reset. go in settings, privacy, and data reset, everything will be like factory just with new firmwares. i would try that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FSB:
Have a look here.

I had a similar problem. would always reboot on wake up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
NOT development.

The phone has only been out for a few days, there are a hell of a lot more important things to do kernel-wise than overclock/undervolt.

I'll be working on undervolt soon, but you'll likely never see overclock from me. Quadrant scores mean nothing, and the stability tradeoff of overclocking isn't worth it unless you're gaming. I never overclock, and I don't release features with a high likelihood of breaking things unless I've tested them.

Last but not least, asking in a pushy way as this is usually a good way to put your request at the bottom of someone's priority list.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrekeno:
Hello !

I just bought myself an Acer Iconia A500.

My biggest need for a tablet was the ability to take handwritten notes with or without a stylus.

Well... I think I tried all apps and what a disappointment.

It is slow and inaccurate. All of them.

I compared to my co-worker's iPad2 and it's day and night.

So what's the problem?

I know it's not my finger or the stylus.

Is it that there are no good apps for that?

Is it a hardware issue? If so, which Android tablet could make me happy?

Is it an Android issue?

Any help is appreciated because I'm about to return my tablet for an iPad if I can't solve that one problem.

Thanks in advance!!

[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
So I am getting the typical # notification that superuser binary is out of date. When I try to install the update it fails at Gaining root access .... It has always updated successfully in the past.

I still have root access, Open Garden wifi tethering is granted permissions when I use it, but superuser fails at the gaining root access point every time now.

Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions? I would HATE to un-install superuser and not be able to gain root access after the fact !!!

Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

What ROM and kernel are you on?

There's an issue that Infinity ROM does not include su within the ROM package and relies on the kernel, and some versions of imo's kernel does not include it either.

I'm running DroidXcon's stock rooted EE4 with CWM. No additional kernals flashed. Have been using it a long time and all of a sudden this issue popped up.

Are you able to get root access in other apps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chopstix9:
Hmmm..... Open Garden Wifi Tether says it has root access and it works, using it now, so I assumed I still had root. I just opened Titanium and ..... no root!!!

I wonder if applying the sd write protect or no battery popup fixes blew it away? Do I need to re-flash the ROM? Or is there a zip file I can apply via CWM to re-gain root?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
So, I thought I was fairly flash proficient with my Epic, until my replacement showed up. I rooted it with CMW3101 one click and then flashed EH17 Hurricane 1.6 full. Followed the instructions to a T with flashing the 8 lock and AIO mods.

After 30 minutes I would get FC's on everything. So I did it again, same response. So I said eff it, lets flash SFR 1.2, as I have never had any problems with it. I Wiped 3x and flashed that, rebooted, and then flashed the honeycomb theme.

All seemed good to go for a couple hours. I used set CPU to 200-1.2 on conservative. Went to sleep with phone plugged in, and no alarm in the morning! Phone had the blue led on, I unlocked the screen only to see constant FC's again!

What am I doing wrong? I never had these problems in the past. What can I do now as I am FC'ing on SFR 1.2?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlWakRa:
I just bought it yesterday. As many, it's like the transformer in specs. The different is the design. I mean in transformer case, it's like a laptop and you can detach it from the keyboard. Slider as it's name, you slide it to open keyboard. You cannot detach it from the keyboard.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoshi411:
no root

i just got mine the other day but cant use it yet cause all the apps i need to run require root.

since the transformer was so quick to get rooted i opted to buy the slider with the hopes that there would be a root method soon.

as of now there is still no way to root the device.

there is no device that surpasses it though as of now for what it is. the only hybrid that comes close is the fujitsu lifebook slider and that is only a single core chip.

the performance of the slider running the dual core tegra 2 is great and the keyboard is awesome.

still waiting for root so i can run gimp and inkscape on it.

i really wanted a hybrid tab and the slider is the best match of beautiful and powerful.

lenovo hybrid is ugly as sin.

fujitsu is single core x86

dell duo is 3 hours battery life T_T

the only problem with the slider is we will have to wait for root before we can make it a serious production computer. until then it is more a tablet than a hybrid cause it can only do tablet stuff.

that being the case i still would rather have to wait for it than go with 3 hour battery life, clunky ugly lenovo (not to mention expensive) or old slow last decade's x86 z670 single core nonsense.

I flashed the newest update (2.3.4) this last weekend and although its been great with battery life, I cant seem to get the actual reporting to settle in.

When I take it off the charger its reporting 100%, and throughout

the day it obviously drains the battery. The problem is when I reboot the phone, it starts back up reporting 10-20% higher battery life then when I shut it down. So in reality, I have more battery life left then whats being reported.

I charged to 100% and wiped battery stats using bootstrap. Then drained the battery all the way, and charged all the way back to a full charge.

Can you guys think of anything else that may fix this issue?
