I know if I put a contact into my Exchange Contacts it shows up on my phone as a contact. is there a way, or am I missing something, to make it so if I type a contact in on my phone, that it then syncs to my exchange? Currently, if I enter one on the phone, it's just there, not in my Outlook contacts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
In the contact app press menu, more, settings. The top option is "Save new contacts to", press that and choose your exchange account.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way in the stock app to move contacts from phone to another account. But, this will make future contacts store there by default.

I have few applications on my PC for WP7, is there any way to install them into the smartphone... ?
[7 Mozart General] mktos:
Yes, if you have XAP files, you can deploy them to phone using "Application Deployment" from Windows Phone 7.5 SDK.

But you need to have developer unregistered phone (or Chevron unlocked). No unlock = only Marketplace.
[7 Mozart General] MySelf_v1:
do i void the warranty if i unlock it ? and btw, how do i see if mine is locked or unlocked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Can you change the phone to black out the screen to save battery, but not lock for a certain time? For instance, I want the screen to black out after 30 seconds, but not to lock for 5 minutes. Is that possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I know you can do that with the passcode lock. It was quite a scandal recently.

I don't think you can disable the lock screen once the screen has timed out, at least not in stock settings. Search the market I would think there's an app for that.

[Captivate General] beenkenobee:
does anybody know the latest OFFICIAL ATT&T gingerbread firmware version?

i mean the latest pushed out directly from AT&T.
[Captivate General] J M L:
As of now (October 19, 2011) there is no AT&T Gingerbread for the Captivate. The latest official OS is Froyo/2.2. The FAQ from Samsung explains how to install it. Those instructions are of course only relevant if you're coming from a stock Eclair/2.1 Captivate. If you have one of the developer ROMs on your phone, then the one-click thread in the development forum is going to be your best bet in finding a way to return to stock.
[Captivate General] TheDickster:
Check out the [Stock ROMs (All OneClicks at one place)] + [Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)] + [Modems] thread in the Development forum. I think the one that you are looking for is the Froyo one (I897UCKB2) which was the one that you had to use Kies to get installed on the device or came with the later Captivates.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
The kies update installed kb1. Later refurbs and new units were shipped with kb2.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasst:
I've just experienced that there are different versions of CWM (recovery)

When I flash CF-root kernel, CWM v4.0.0.2, it support access to external_SD.

When I flash Siyah kernel, v2.0, I get CWM v.5.0.2.6, and I can't access external_SD.

Can someone explain to me what the differences is with this CWM-versions and if the kernel itself has something to do why I don't can access external_SD in the last mentioned kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
dont know how you got it working in 4.0.0.2 because i cant. Please share your secrets lol

ricey
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
That is really weird, considering that CWM was made generally for all phones. Since SDCard is already used by the internal storage, there isn't really support for external sd card.

emmc is the external sd card, which cannot be used by CWM.

I don't think the link to external sd card works in CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasst:
Hmm.

You guys got me start doubting myself.

But here it is with(Cf-root) and CWM v4.0.0.2:

1. Install ZIP from sfdcard.

2. choose ZIP from sdcard

3. choose external_SD/ from the list. Remember there are more folders showing up when you press volume up key.

4. Folders/files on external_SD shows up. I have folders for MP3 and movies, and backups from Titatium (set to external SD in Titanium) and its definately not on internal SD.

Doing the same thing after Siyah-kernel, with CWM 5.0.2.6, in step 4 above the screen just blink and noting happens. But when I go back to the main screen it says: No files found. And if I repeat step 4, the main screen shows a No files found for every time I have tried step 4.

So with CWM(v4.0.0.2) from CF-root kernel I definetly can browse external_SD, but not with CWM(5.0.2.6) that comes with Siyah-kernel(2.0)

Again, I don't know if this, the lack of External_SD access, has to do with the CWM-version(5.0.2.6) or the Siyah kernel?

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Hi,

I just received my Droid 3 in The Netherlands. Calling/texting works etc, but I have no 3G. I know people on vodafone have experienced this problem before, and had to change the apn in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options. However my APN is not listed there, and if I create it, it still doesn't work.

When I go to settings>wireless & network settings > mobile networks > access point names, the list is empty.

When I add my APN and press save, nothing happens. The list is still clear.

Now, if I don't enter the MMC/MNC, and press save it says "MMC requires 3 digits", however, this time it DOES create an APN profile.

If I then edit the profile and add MMC/MCN, it disappears :confused::confused:

I have no idea what to do, asking my provider to send the settings doesn't work either. Here are the settings:

Name, Mobiel internet .
APN, portalmmm.nl .
Proxy, blank.
Port, blank.
Gebruikersnaam, blank.
Wachtwoord, blank.

MCC, 204 .
MNC, 08 .
Verificationtype, kies PAP.
APN-type, default . (
Kies de menu-toets.

edit: I'm thinking it might be my SIM-card?

According to some here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-global/115593-apn-will-not-save-4.html#post1408239

Using MCC/MCN checker, you need a value for getSimOperator(), however mine is blank.

edit2: I just tried my dads vodafone SIMcard, and it does have values for getSimOperator(). Also, immediately there are 2 APNs in settings>APN..

edit3: Now tried another newer simcard from the same provider, and now it does work. I guess it's my 4-year-old simcard.

Any way to make it work on this simcard or am I out of luck?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
if your with vodafone then there is a number you can call and then it will send you a text. its a special text that you open and click save and it install 3g and MMS settings for you. i dont know the number for the netherlands but im sure if you take it into a vodafone shop they will do it for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I'm not with vodafone but my own provider has this feature too. You need to send an text and you'll receive the settings. However when I try this, I don't receive the message, probably because they don't recognize my phone. Either way, I doubt that it would be able to add APN when I can't do it manually
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
whats your provider?.. did you try taking it into the store? The phone is global so it should work
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
You aren't the first with this issue.

Looks like the problem is related to the incorrect reading of MCC and MNC from some SIMs.

Try to use a sw to set the apn, (search apn on the market, is plenty of SW of that kind.)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I tried APN manager. I noticed that all the APN profiles I tried to create were actually created because they showed up in APN manager. However they just don't show up in settings > APN because of something with my SIM-card. My theory is that it tries to match APNs from the list with my SIMcard, but it can't read the MCC/MNC codes.

With APN manager I can activate the correct APN however it changes nothing. The phone still thinks there's no connection

Btw I found it weird that APN manager did not show the changes I made in the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml :?
[Motorola Droid 3] gr00veg0d:

Apn conf is a file to set automagically the right apn given the right network parameters, if they are missing that file is absolutely unuseful.

If anything else failed I suggest to try the XT883 rom that looks way more friendly with the European networks.

@bogdan: xt862
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:

looks like xt862 works with many SIMs, xt883 Works with ALL sims.

BTW, the xt883 rom has so many advantages over the stock one that I can't see a valid reason for non using it.

Does anyone know of a way to solve this and allow me to open files that i'm browsing for?

it's particularly annoying to have to add each folder i have media in.

[General Topics] cheddar 151:
The three "software" buttons in Android 4.0 seem a bit of residual lameness.

This doesn't really reflect how most of us interact... not every function or app needs a "back" button, nor a "recent apps." And nothing should appear on the screen that is not necessary. It is a waste of real estate, makes our phones bigger than they need to be, and complicates the interface.

If I have been using a calculator, go to my browser, then want to go back to my calculator (or vice versa, or anything similar) my brain doesn't say "recent app;" it says "calculator." Deciding whether to hit "recent apps/calculator," or just just hitting "home/calculator" introduces multiple pathways and a certain friction into the decision process.

Home button -- yeah, you bet. Always have to be able to come home, if only to start over. But two clicks -- "Home/calculator" every time, habitual, instant and automatic is preferable to two clicks after having to make a choice between two or more options "Home or Recent apps?" "Yeah I used it" "Recent apps/calculator."

Matter of legacy, I suppose, maybe a matter of choice. Never had an iPhone, waiting to decide between another Nexus or the Razer ... I need Verizon. Plenty of room for a difference of opinion.
