[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Where are the pictures supposed to be coming from and do they show in your contacts? I realise my question may be superfluous because of your final statement, but I've never heard of such a permissions problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I use pics I have on my SD card. They worked fine with Android 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. Once I did the update they no longer show in the Messaging App(s).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You only answered one of the questions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Yes, they show in Contacts and the Log, but not in any messaging app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
It has been suggested it is a permissions problem with the com.android.providers.contacts/files directory. However, I have no 'files' directory there. So, I am clueless as how to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Problem Solved!!

I deleted all the contacts from my SIM.

Re-Added the pictures for each phone contact again.

Now they show up.

For some reason having the contacts on the SIM had something to do with it, even though I had them hidden. (shrug). Never ran into that problem before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
I have noticed this to, after update to 2.3.5 the contact pics in the standard messaging don't show up, yet if you use go SMS or any messaging widget the pics show up fine. So how did you sort it again? Mine simply sync with Google
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasinell:
Only just seen this thread. I posted about this a lil while back. Exact same problem, exact same solution :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Oh yes, i turned off all other displays in my contacts so only Sim was showing, then hit delete, select all, then turned back on the google contacts etc...now automatically showing again.

So 2.3.5 is not liking sim cards I guess, thanks for this help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
You're welcome. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewe:
Thank you, my wife's SGS had the same problem, solved thanks to you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiga:
This issue is not just related to 2.3.5, I'm on 2.3.4 KI4 and it happened on it as well.

I noticed this issue last week. Somehow all my contact pics stopped showing up in my Call Logs, Contacts, and in the stock messaging app as well as Gosms Pro (which is what i use). I noticed that when i deleted a particular sim contact the picture would then show up, so the phone was obviously defaulting to sim numbers where it had 2 numbers stored. Oh, and for the record, i sync my contact from Yahoo Mail.

So yeah, delete your sim contacts (nobody uses them anymore, right?! ;) and you're good to go.

hey,

if someone would like a clock tile like the htc sense or a big clock tile like the htc hub, too. pls vote !

http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...4049-livetile-with-a-clock-like-the-htc-sense

best regards ahlMAR
[Windows Phone 7 General] uiqjirka:
No,sense not, it is ugly and it is eating the system memory to much. Sense belongs to android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ahlMAR:
no complete sense only the clock as a tile :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] uiqjirka:
It is not possible the policy of microsoft does not allow it.The producer can not adjust the today screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I wish I could vote on that. I'm out of votes. But I have been curious why there isn't any live tile clocks. I've looked and looked and there aren't any that I see.

Lets hope MS implements this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
It's just not possible. At least not for third party developers. Live tiles refresh every half hour. Wouldn't make any sense for a clock, would it? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
This isn't a request for a third party app based on the current version of the OS, it is a request to improve the OS so that such tiles could be developed.

Responding with "it's just not possible" could be applied to every request that has been submitted. Isn't that the whole point of the requests?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
It wasn't in response to the request made by the OP. It was in response to MartyLK pondering about the fact that there currently is no clock live tile available. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I knew there had to be something like that going on. But I didn't know about the live tile limitation. Maybe MS may make the system where certain functions can have varying refresh rates. Like every minute for clocks. (without second hand)
[Windows Phone 7 General] theman60625:
Isn't it enough with the clock on the lock screen or in the HTC Hub in addition to the top task bar

Sent from my T7575 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The taskbar clock is too small and the HTC hub clock is inside the super slow loading hub, would make a quick glance not possible. A nice analog tile clock would be a small amount of visual enhancement and provide a quick time alert while doing others things on the phone. Actually it would be cool to be able to quickly bring up the tile clock at any time while inside other apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nobnut:
Are you all high?

There is a live tile clock. It isn't the best looking thing in the world but it works and it's free.

Analog Clock Live Tile
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Sweet! Thanks for the heads-up.

EDIT - Eh...not really a viable live tile clock. It doesn't keep up with the time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Good idea , but it isn't time for MS to unlock WP7 like MS 6.5, since it isn't completed yet.

I hope Sense will come like,manila.exe on WM 6.5.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sanctemichael:
The Analog Clock Live Tile referred here DOES NOT WORK. It does show the time but only just at the exact time you pin it to the start screen. As soon as this is done that time is frozen! The minute or second hands are not moving. I stared at it for about fifteen minutes and it stayed at 10:30 when it should have gone to 10:45. So it's really useless. I unpinned it because it does not give me the correct time. I hope the creators of this app do something about this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
From what I understand, live tiles update only every 30 minutes. That's why a live tile clock isn't viable. Any live tile clock will be limited to displaying the correct time only every 30 minutes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
The guys are right, don't get me wrong, I miss the clock but it would not work as the live tiles only update every 30 mins. or so like the guys said. I know that on the battery meter app you have to tap on it and then it updates to the correct percentage on the live tile, A clock would simply be like way off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kristoff_sz:
Well... what I'm doing to keep up the clock after unlock is running HTC Hub in the background (that's the only app left running in the background).

When HTC hub is running simply tap windows menu hotkey, then after u done what you should - tap back at the "start" and HTC hub will appear. After you lock and unlock HTC hub will remain open with the clock and weather...

Thats the simplest way for now to have that clock after waking up device :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Well if you can get it to work that would be awesome, and you can count me in. So do you have a beta version that we can download?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
What beta? Just do what he described. oO Start the app, back out of it by using the home button and then do whatever you want to do. Now before you send your device to sleep (hit the power button) just tap and hold your back button. Choose the HTC hub again and THEN lock your device. When you unlock it again, HTC hub will be displayed again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I must be dreaming reading this. It's hilarious.

The "easiest" platform makes basics such a pain. Lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ahlMAR:
dont bash! the easiest platform has a clock on the lockscreen and on the taskbar but this clocksense would be nice. many people like it, including me :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] kristoff_sz:
Also regarding topic - I'm little bit curious about the Tiles refreshing.

Maybe it was answered before but I'm completely new to WP7 and haven't read everything yet.

Let's focus on a Contacts tile. The photos are changing at 2-3 seconds intervals, so i believe that - maybe not the same but similar - code would work for a clock (I'm not a developer or programmer, I'm just checking possible ideas ;) )
[Windows Phone 7 General] Thunder_:

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

That's incorrect. What works behind Contacts tile is the application actually provides a few (9?) pictures and update these picture in a not so frequent timeframe. It is up to the today screen to determine how to dynamically displaying these pictures.

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Try rebooting and taking a look at your /system/etc/hosts file, you should be able to see if adfree has modified it or not. Some apps have started getting ads from their own servers so there's no easy way to block them

im just absolutely lost how/what is causing the notification popup add that i get which is for "win an ipad2..."

Itll randomly happen and not with a program up and running less its in the background. Its not a txt msg one but actual notification that sends me to a website. I scaned with lookout and all is fine. Also read up on the notification adds and thought it might be the airpush crap but the airpush defender app didn't find any apps using it when i installed it so im at a complete loss now as to why this is happening.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I've never seen the ad you're talking about but I wonder if Sprint is sending it to you. I used to get a bunch of text ads from Sprint until I called them up and told them not to send me anything anymore. You might just be able to call them and have them stop it.

So my buddy seems to have bricked his phone. Not sure what he did, but the phone will boot up to Galaxy S i9000m screen, then it has sound with the S symbol coming together, flashes the S for about 20 seconds and finally goes black and thats it. 3 button recovery or Download mode dont work. Ive tried hooking it to odin wont see it. If I hook it to a charger the battery symbol does come on and it charges. I built a jig using a 301k resistor across pins 4 and 5, it doesnt seem work, however sure I am the jig is set up correctly it doesnt seem to work on my functioning phone either.???

Anyone have this similar problem and fix it? Any thoughts?

Thanks Ryan

Thanks guys....I tried all sorts of button combos all weekend and nothing worked. I pretty much gave up.

Drove straight home grapped my computer, hooked up to Odin, recognized....flashed it and now its rocking gingerbread 2.3.5 jvt with kg3 modem and csc. Rooted thanks to chainfire. My buddys so happy its been bricked for 4 months. Some cell fix company couldnt even fix it. Last time he had it he was still on 2.1 Eclair.

Thanks to who ever came up with this jig.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jesushaxyou:
Here's my deal: I've downloaded and flashed LSR 3.0 to my phone about 3 times now, and every time it bricks... HARD. Every time I try and do it I need to go into my linux terminal and ADB push the original droid OS onto the poor phone.

Am I doing something wrong here? The device is a droid 2 which is claimed to be compatible with LSR3.

Steps taken: Download rom, boot into recovery, back up, wipe dalvik cache, flash, brick.

It also makes it so that I can't boot into CWM which sucks considering that my backups are on there.

CM7 Worked perfectly when flashed, btw. Even the latest nightlies were good.

Hi I have installed v2.8 of the SGBS Gingerbread with Sense 2.1 ROM.

It's a great ROM but I have noticed that every now and again I will reach into my pocket to find my phone is switched off. It has also crashed once or twice whilst in use as well. I'm just worried since I use my phone as an alarm every day.

Coincidentally my friend is also is using the same ROM on his desire and it has happened to him as well.

This has only started since flashing this ROM so I am just wondering if there is anyone else with any similar issues? (even on a different rom)

Android 2.2

firmware 1.83.415.2

Baseband 12.28e.60.140fu_26.04.02.17_M2

My problem goes like this, if I turn mobile internet off and then turn it on again it doesn't work it shows H icon and then disappears and then shows failed in the settings. To have it work, I have to turn off the mobile, remove the sim card, insert the sim card again and start the phone.

Any idea ?

We already have that ability, you can use the same terminal commands that are on a Linux computer to format the sdcard or check the filesystem.

They are mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat

I would like a gui also though, and the ability to make a Fat16 filesystem. Since the mkfs.vfat will not do it like my Ubuntu system can.

I have need for that filesystem for a old device that I use OTG on my phone to update the card and it is annoying to have to bring the card home if something goes wring with it.
