[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wg_Sniper:
Try this, I am not sure but if turning off google sync can help then :

1. backup contacts to sd card

2. turn off google sync

3. delete all contacts

4. import contacts from sd card.

hope it works.

I haven't tried it yet but I think it might work. Even if it doesn't it's still worth a try. :)

Cheers

Hey guys thanks so much for your time.please read and help would be extremely appreciated.

so i installed synergyROM v1.1.1 on my evo3d 2.3.4

it worked wonders! i loved it. fast and responsive. however, neither my wifi nor my 4g were working so i decided to install a kerny from an app on the market miug something like that. it asked me to reboot my phone, which i did BUT afterwards, my phone would keep rebooting. the hideous htc screen kept going on and off. i have TeamWinRecoveryMod because clockwork wouldnt work! i'm going crazy lol

:/

how do i fix the problem?
[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
Also kinda worried it will be a dust catcher..

I really enjoyed playing with the flyer which is out of stock now..

I've been thinking about the Kindle fire, Nook Tab and acer a100.. The fire and tab will probably both have insanely good dev support.. the A100 is suppose to get ICS next month..

When tablets came out (particularly at 500$+) I saw them as nothing more than a waste of money.

How that they are in the sub 300 range I must admit I'm intrigued by them and they finally seem sort of worth it particularly to read a book in digital format, check a few emails and for general "time wasting" purposes like facebook.

I am just kind of worried if I end up getting one it will end up collecting dust more than anything.. I like to think I would end up reading lots of manga and comics along with other books.. Somewhere besides at a computer desk...

However, I'm also hesitant to pop out that much on a potentially dust collecting item.

So I gotta ask.. how long have y'all had your tablets? do you still use them regularly? Do yo frequently find yourself wasting time on the tablet trying to do things a real keyboard is better suited for?
[General Questions and Answers] Feeshie:
I have a mini tablet(Galaxy Player 5) and I barely use it. I usually prefer using my phone, but I use the galaxy player to watch videos or slight browsing. It really depends on what you will use the tablet for. For your purpose like reading a tablet like the kindle fire will be nice. If you think you will use the tablet a lot then get it. If not then find alternatives.
[General Questions and Answers] AllproJJ:
I'm also enjoying my rooted HTC Flyer, but I do worry of the coming dev support for it considering it's looking like there's gonna be no new ones in the future.

IDK ,

For work I have an iPad 2 3g .. which ya is a dust collector for me .. and stays at work and hoping to hand it in after an MDM project I am working on for some sort of Andriod tablet .

Have also had a BB Playbook for testing at work and I think the 7 inch profile is nice .. but the PB is not ... what a useless POS still not worth the $199 they where clearing them out for .

Personally , I have a Dell streak 5" and it's ntb .. but kinda wonky hardware wise ..

[General Questions and Answers] MiGaJo:
I am looking at getting the Pandigital Novel 7. It has android on it and is also an ereader. Worst case scenario, if you get one and it does end up collecting dust, you are only out 150 versus 300 for the fire. That is merely my own opinion though.

I will say that with the Fire you would be able to do more out of the box with it, as the reviews I have read on pandigital there seems to be no marketplace

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Hi everyone. In the people app the pictures in ics are all low res. Anyone have any ideas to get the high res pictures? I find it odd that ics wouldnt go out and get the high res pics from facebook etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
The only solution I've found so far is to manually change contact pictures using high res photos on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yes, but as soon as you sync with Google Contacts ... Those photos will become low res again.

And again, you must re-assign manually.

Stupid stupid stupid Google ... :(

So, is there any app or script that can we use to replace all contact photos at once?

First, we told the app ... "this is the image for this contact" ... for all contacts.

Then later, user can replace all with a button click!

Please ... please any developer can make this app? For sure a lot of people will buy to fix this stupid Google low res contact.

*begging* ... I will buy this kind of app, right away!

And this has been reported to Google since 2009!!!

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4147

Till this date, people are still having this issue ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
This is what gets me about Google - for all the good things they do, they are let down by silly details like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randypurcz:
I have to agree. I was going over every item on the phone, and them my brother called and I was like, WTF ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
My contact photos haven't changed at all since I changed them to high res ones a few days ago...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Surely it has something to do with how much OTA data would be needed to sync hi res photos from gmail contacts to your phone..... I would rather have numbers than have them not sync because the pics are say 20mb each.... Thats why you havetoo set them from the phone.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
So, in Google Contacts we should not put any photos?

In this way, when we sync, Google Contacts will not replace the photos that we have set manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
They won't change on the phone, but the pictures sync back to Google Contacts as a low res 96x96 version.

That means if you need to restore your contacts for whatever reason (such as a factory reset), then you will get a crappy low res version back.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Google seem to be happy using the instant upload feature of G+ to send high res pictures back and forth, so I don't see why they can't enable it with Google Contacts.

Contact pictures will take up far less space, as they are cropped from a full image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
Google said that the contacts app will download peoples pictures from Google+

maybe you don't have that turned on, or maybe thats the only way to truly get high-res pictures. luckily for me all my main friends are on it already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Yeah it looks like that may be the only way. I assume Google Contacts will be merged into G+ at some point, so there is just one place for all your contacts and issues like this won't happen.

Unfortunately for me only a handful of people I know actually use G+, so I can't rely on it at the minute.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shawnn218:
i had this problem on my thunderbolt with the facebook app. the contact pics were very low res

my solution was to sync pics with the "facebook for HTC sense" app, and it worked. pics were beautiful. have you guys tried using an app like syncmypix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
I hope they enable this for facebook too in the future. Although I'm no big fan of FB and I can understand Google considering the cometitive situation, FB is still far more widespread than G+ and most of my friends don't want to join yet another social network.

Syncmypix syncs still in a quite low resolution, even if high res is enabled in the settings. And Syncmypix is definitely not optimized for 720p displays ;) The actual app scales perfectly, but on the "crop" screen where you can edit the pics, every pic is really tiny. See screenshot below :D

The Arabic gingerbread in ardoid won't give you Arabic menus. Only the ability to read Arabic in the phone and web browser. You also need to buy his app for RTL activation from the market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X1111:
for Arabic language in menu and RTL support you must use custom roms like

CM7

and

brainmaster's MIUI

,this mean you must install CWM Recovery first...

It looks like it is setup through Outlook Web Access where you normally have to goto a website to view your email unless your on VPN or at the school itself. My work has a setup like that for lower management and upper management actually has access to exchange as normal. On blackberry's it has the ability to pull from the website you access without full access to the exchange server for push email. I have not found an Android app at this point that allows this. So for the time being I have to access through the website for Outlook Web Access. You may speak with your IT at the school about it to see if they can assist and let you know what access you have exactly.

Hi. I just got an NS (pour one out for my dearly departed N1), and while I'm really digging this phone, I feel like the cell signal quality is pretty erratic (and maybe I should just realize that the NS is worse than the N1 in that category -- and the N1 was no shining example). I'm currently on KF1 and while I've done a bit of research I can't quite pin down what my best radio option might be. Any thoughts/experiences appreciated. Thx.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
First of all, I take no credit for this other than just testing it and seeing it works out of the box on the A100. I've tested the below instructions with my rooted A100 and moto Atrix running cm7 and it works pretty well. Your A100 must be rooted for this to work and your phone your connection to has to support Bluetooth PAN (any phone running cm7 should work).

Here's what I did to get a working PAN connection:

- Be sure Bluetooth is enabled on both the A100 and your device you wish to share your network connection with. (Found under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth)

- Pair the two devices

- Install the Nook Color Bluetooth Tether app from the market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=earlmagnus.nctether

- Run the app to be sure that your paired device shows up (if it doesn't something didn't go right with the pairing)

- Go back to your home screen and add a new widget (Click the plus sign in the upper right corner of your home screen) Look for the NC Tether widget and add it to your home screen.

To start the PAN connection just tap the Tether Widget the light on the widget will first be yellow then turn green once the connection is successful. One thing I did notice is that if you access apps that use the internet, using the PAN connection not all apps recognize the PAN connection as internet enabled (nothing we can do about this its something that the developer of the app would need to work out). Internet via PAN does work though, the browser will say no Internet Connection Dectected, but will still work just fine. I was able to use IMO for messaging and other apps with no problem.

Have fun and hope this helps others work around the lack of PAN support in honeycomb.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
The Nook Color Bluetooth tether app does not work properly on Honeycomb. There is a development thread here. This is the app that I used on my Nook Color and it worked great on Gingerbread.

So far with Honeycomb even though the connection starts and is functional when you want to turn off tethering the widget stays green and the link stays open until bluetooth is disabled. Even then the widget stays green.

I have a script that I have been using on honeycomb to start the tethering and to end it. I launch it with gscript from the market.

To start the link I have this script.

pand --connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

sleep 3

dhcpcd bnep0

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

To end the link I have this script.

ifconfig bnep0 down

My progress so far with honeycomb, I have the Acer 3.2.1 rom and the Xoom rom extracted and have been doing a diff on the files dealing with bluetooth. I have copied the xoom bluetooth.apk and bluetooth configuration files to the a100 in an effort to enable the tether profile under device profiles wrench icon. These attempts have proved fruitless. I do not know enough about Android structure to know how the menus are setup and how to add menu items. From what I have read the native bluetooth connection allows for the ConnectivityService to see the connection therefore all of the "network" apps see it as a valid connection unlike pand. Pand is what the nook tether app used for the connection. The thing that I need is for VPN to work and it will not work under pand.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Your right, the nc tether app does have an issue on honeycomb, but it does work. To terminate the pan connection using this app you can tap the widget again and then force close the app. I have mine set so that if my screen turns off it closes the app automatically. You can also reboot and the widget will reset.

I don't have a xoom or any other honeycomb device other than this one to compare but I think its more than just as simple as a missing menu entry. Ill have to see where the bluetooth profiles are stored, I'm more familiar with the way cm7 works but it might be something missing in the kernel for this device that is causing this to happen.

Edit:

Ok, looks like the profile option is missing from the rom itself, you'd have to add the option in before compiling the source for the rom..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] VlaDeMaN:
got it to work. im running a CM7 GS2att and i was able to get internet access on my a100 via bluetooth.

just to clear up, you install Nook Color Bluetooth Tether ON THE TABLET.

i tried a few times, but it didnt start working until i rebooted the a100. i don't get the "No Connection" when i try to browse but Browser does act a bit weird (generally won't load if i click a link on the page im on).

Opera Mini works like titties tho, haven't tried anything else. Market works as well. Thank you very much! If i can help somehow, let me know.
