[Optimus One, P500, V General] knightnz:
I've got a Telecom NZ P500h phone here which Superboot would refuse to root as surprisingly it came with a late October release of 2.3.3 OOTB.

I had to use LGMDP to flash the old (December) 2.2.1 release of the same P500h firmware (from the thread in the dev forum), and I was then able to root it with Superboot.

I then had to use LGMDP again to flash the v20g baseband - this is the slightly dodgy bit as there doesn't seem to be a v20g baseband anywhere that is specifically for the P500h. I bit the bullet and flashed it anyway, and the phone now identifies as a standard P500. (Uh oh I thought).

Once I'd done that, I used the manual method to flash the current v3.06 ThunderG recovery, then rebooted into recovery and flashed the GingerLOL ROM.

Rebooted, and everything seems to work fine. WiFi works, 3G data works, calls work.

So, I'm not sure what difference the "h" designation implies, but unless I've yet to find something nasty, crossflashing it to a standard P500 seems to work just fine.

Now I'm about to flash it to the current AGA ROM instead as GingerLOL hasn't been updated in a long time. Not keen on CM7 as it seems to have too many issues.

So, if anyone else has a 500h phone, then you might be lucky and this process will work for you. If someone has gone through the same process and knows of issues I'm likely to come across as a result, please let me know!

Hello

i searched for the answer to my question in the forum and in Google a lot but no luck.

i have "Samsung Nexus S I9023" and i just flashed the ROM from this thread : [ROM][CM9-A11]-=Nexus MV 2.11.30=- | franco.kernel 11/29 | SuperCharged |

So when i when i open the contacts list it does not show the SIM's contact (i attached a screen shot of the phone) and cannot find the option to show them anywhere.

please can you help me in showing SIM's contacts.

is it because nobody knows the answer or is because you don't wanna answer?

come on people you are better than this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
I wish I had a real answer for you, but I think it may be because 99% of us don't store contacts on our SIM's anymore.

Seriously, have some patience?

Did you try Settings - import/export - Sim contacts, in the People app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmanben2:
thanks man for the reply.

can i ask Why you guys prefer not storing in your SIM's?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
I guess cause there's a limit to how many contacts that can be saved on a SIM

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmanben2:
Oh i see.

i guess here we don't need too much contacts, 200 is enough. And another reason i guess is because we sell and buy our mobiles and smartphones a lot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmanben2:
What file?

there is no file it only allow you to import from a file not to export it. And if it did it i guess it wouldn't backup the SIM's contacts i guess.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
right you want to put your sim contacts from sim to phone yes.. i thought you had them in a file already.

ok do you use ms outlook to store calendar & contacts? if so you can export them from outlook in file format (if you don't know how then google outlook import/export).. then place the file to your phone.. done.

or if you use google sync, and had sync'd you calendar & contacts before then simply re-sync your phone.

If all you need is to show sim contacts and you have no alternative, try the above or start from scratch.

Try sim contacts, it's available in the market
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
On my ICS (MV2), there is an option to 'Import from SIM card'. It then gives me a list of all my contacts on SIM and I can import them freely.

I don't know if the import actually works because I don't have any SIM contacts, but it should.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongouncirco:
Hi everybody!

I am experiencing a new kind of problem in my sgs2,

Last saturday a glass of water droped on the floor and some water wet my phone. It was on, and it didn´t switched off. I did it by myself and took off the batery.

But when I switched it on again a yellow triangle with a thermomether appeared in the screen. The sgs2 seemed to work right, but it began with some problems. First of all, I couldn´t switch it off, once I did, the phone rebooted itself. Then it appeared at the top the sign of "mtp initializing" even when the usb wasn´t connected. I took the batery apart and tried to see if there was water inside. I blew and some water went out of the phone.

I remark that the only part that got wet was the usb (even inside) but the water didn´t touched the screen and nothing else.

After a couple of days, the phone didn´t recognize the usb cable when it is connected. And when I charged the sgs2, it was ok at the begining.

But, yesterday, the phone stopped detecting the charger when it is connected. Even more, to charge the cell, I have to switch it off and connect the charger, doing this, the telephone reboot and begin charging.

Nowadays, the only way to charge the phone is what I´ve related. Furthermore, it didn´t detect the usb when it is connected.

Ah!, just the week before this accident, the sgs2 reboot itself many times and vlingo activated itself. In spite of the fact that the battery was full, in some reboots, after rebooting, it showed me %10 of battery. Then when it rebooted again it showed me the correct percentage.

Considering I´ve no warranty, I opened the phone and checked if the "usb block" got wet and at first sight it was perfect!

Except for this issues, the phone works great. Even more, I flashed it by CWM (just in case it was the rom) and nothing got fixed.

I ordered a new brand "usb block", and I am waiting for it to arrive.

Does anybody know anything useful?

Thanks a lot! This is a great community, and if you don´t know nobody will.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PetoG:
Hello, same problem here. But without any water!!! I will try today to clean up the usb connector without battery in the phone. And I will see.

If you can try it also...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishaljain:
I was having the same issue. And I am not sure this will help, but I read on net that at times with Galaxy S people faced this issue and was related to files with very large file name. So I checked my download folder and indeed I had a wiered file with eBay something. And surprisingly, after I deleted that file, things are again back to normal for me.

Thanks,

Vishal

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
I wanted a flyer/view for the scribe and pdf annotation abilities. I recently ordered a view off ebay because it was cheaper than the flyer (missed the $240 deal though). I'm not too concerned about when I'll get Honeycomb.

I was convinced to make the purchase after trying a flyer at best buy because the 11/14/2011 Flyer update thread indicated that Google video chat/talk and a smaller pen size in the PDF viewer were features of the update.

Now after some searching, I realize that these features may not have made it to the evo view. The last view update from June indicates that google video chat was disabled.

Can anyone confirm if the evo view pdf editor has the same pen sizes as the Flyer and if google video chat will work with the front camera?

if not, I'll probably return it and get the flyer.

Thank you. Sorry to take yall away from the HC hype.

You don't install it. You push it to system/app directory with root explorer. Then reboot and then you will have that launcher as an option unless you already set one as a default. Then go into that launcher in manage applications and clear defaults.
[Wildfire General] SushiTime:
Ok so first please dont writte comments like it is a cheap phone and stuff...

Now the problem - playback of video files (avi, xvid and most important straming media)

So i have tryied some video players to play avi files and the video i so slow plays with very very slow frame rate and audio is horrible. Recently tryied to play straming media (some tv chanels i want to watch) the same. It runs the software but its horrible.

So the question: Is there some way around that? Some magic light-weight player or something else?

HTC Wildfire

Cyanomogen latest stable

tryied with overclocked CPU to 701 when i tryied to the max setting 768 phone crashed needed to recovery ROM.

So please if someone has some advice i would be very grateful
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Buy a better phone!!

Sorry couldn't resist but seriously you get what you pay for!
[Wildfire General] Alex Charles:
Try overclocking to 729mhz. That seems the most stable for me.

More importantly download an app called QQ player from the market. Plays most files without a hitch.

If you're streaming tv well personally I have not tried. Move your phone as close to the router as possible and see whether its a speed related issue. If It's not I don't think there's much you can do.

Hope this helps
[Wildfire General] luunatiq:
i use seaman player, best player on 749 mhz, best for avi files:)

I would do it myself but I have no computer or knowledge of building a rom. I appreciate peoples help around here more specifically strapped crump and dodger as they've given me a lot of help. Thanks in advance for anyone who highly considers my request and I could pm details of my rom idea. Of course I would not wanna take credit for such a rom just looking for something to play with.

The kdz flashing method is pretty safe and besides, if by some freak accident you do brick your phone the repair guys at LG will probably just reflash it or replace the motherboard without ever checking why the phone is bricked.

I contacted LG UK and told them I had an O2 sim but the phones updates were not from O2 and all I got told was its O2's job to update the phone and that everyone else who is not carrier specific now has gingerbread.

I am not carrier specific, only my sim is, so apparently officially I am the only one having this problem. Which I highly doubt is actually correct.

And they said if I flash then I will invalidate the warranty and must wait for O2 to update me but have spoken to O2 and they don't handle updates for my device. No one seems to know who does :(

GB Stock based roms avaiable

There are many roms that o may install base on the Stock gingerbread version. For that, the only thing that u need is to change the baseband of the phone in order to support gingerbread roms. In this forum u have the explanations to do that. Just search them on the development section!

My best regards
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Yes but some of us are on contract or cant afford to risk damaging the phones by flashing and so have to wait, and to be fair we shouldn't have to flash and break warranties in order to get stock gb that most people already have.

But, with GB is different, the EU Open version has been released 2 weeks ago and I didn't mind to wait few weeks to get the official release in UK, but then, the day comes and LG doesn't release it....:mad:

I won't be updating GB in a non-official way 'cos now I want see how much incompetents the people from LG are.
[LG Optimus 3D] danbst:
Still no f'kin sign and TBH I'm a bit miffed now. Yesterday it reported that an update was available and progresses to he screen where it checks the phone... then I was told that the phone was not supported and got booted out. Now it's saying no update again.

Could force flash it like I did before but Win 7 64 was no good for me last time. I had to use a Win XP machine that I now no longer have. Can't be ar$ed to set up a dual boot so all this messing about has just about destroyed any credibility that LG might have had left after keeping me waiting since launch for official GB.

I sent my o3d in for warranty repair with a non stock rom and clockwork mod recovery and nobody batted an eyelid. Im on a contract too so i had the same concerns as you when i realised i was gonna have to send it in. If you read your warranty card it actually doesnt even mention software at all and im pretty sure its standard practice for them to just reflash all devices sent in for repair irrespective of whether the software is a factor in the problem or not. My problem had nothing to do with the rom (the power button stopped working properly, hardware problem) but they reflashed it to stock anyway.
[LG Optimus 3D] kriptikchicken:
I think the warranty thing is just a smokescreen to scare the n00bs into not fiddling with their device and causing more work for the support department of the service provider.

Is there anyway to turn off the haptic feedback of JUST the letters, (without affecting the back & menu buttons) when typing using the stock Samsung Keyboard?

I LIKE the haptic feedback on the BACK button and MENU button. I want to keep that.. But not on the letters of the qwerty keyboard...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cushcalc:
I don't see an option in settings for the stock keyboard.

Thumb Keyboard 4 is the keyboard I prefer, and it does allow you to turn off haptic feedback, or change the duration, and yet leave the back & menu buttons with standard haptic feedback.

I like Thumb Keyboard also because it has arrow keys for moving around in text, like HTC HD2 keyboard.

I got Thumb Keyboard when it was free on Amazon, but I would happily pay the $2.39 or $2.46 for it.
