Hi,

is anybody else also facing issues with Exchange sync on ICS??

I am having some strange behaviour on the Galaxy Nexus using two Exchange accounts (business and private).

If I am setting up only one account everything is working fine: mails, calendar and contacts are syncing fine. Now I am setting up the second account. Afterwards account one is still working fine, but second account shows issues with not syncing calendar and contacts (while mail is working fine).

Sometimes it helps to check and uncheck the Sync calendar/Sync contacts option to load new contacts and calendar events. But this is not reproduceable very often.

Does anybody know about this issue and found a solution??

Thx in advance..

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xmsnx:
What do you mean by genuine? If you mean made by Huawei then I don't think there are any genuine ones.

Anyway you can find them a lot cheaper on eBay
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
thanks mate . :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeorgT:
I bought the cheapest from ebay (6 protectors for 1.1 euros) and can say that the are a short time solution!

The next protectors will be the dc mugen probably!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] devil_costa:
go to ebay and search There are many cool screen protector and little price my friend
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pentes:
I bought one time a screen protector to an older phone, some time later i remove it and start to use the phone without any protector and still it never had any scratches.

With my Ideos X5 i dont use anything, it has 3 months and looks like new. Can be a bit of luck too :P

Files are way to big at 480p to share more than a couple of seconds of video via appd such as Whatsapp etc, does anyone know how to get the lower rez added to the camera or aware of an app that will allow native shooting at 320p?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
The question should be "When will Whatsapp support more than 320p?" I doubt you'll see a while lot of support for anything less than 480p going forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorontoR:
Hi Ian, issues is with files that are about 15 seconds end up being more than 10 mb at 480p. Wish the 320p was included
[Desire HD General] glen8:
Hi all,

My wife has a desire HD and earlier in the year I did the root so she could have a different rom on. Everything went fine, and then last month we tried MIUI. She loves the phone and the ability to change roms, but here's the problem.....the volume down button has stopped working :mad:

First I thought it could just be dirt, but after carefully removing the silver rocker switch and cleaning it, it's definately a fault button on the circuit board. It's under warranty, but obviously we will need to return it to factory stock condition.

To make matters worse, we don't have any backups :eek:

I have tried the RUU files but they don't work. Even if I download a stock rom and try the clockworkrecovery it keeps saying BAD IMAGE :(

Without being able to get into the recovery (holding the volume down button) do we basically have an expenive door stop now :confused:

Thanks for any help you can give!
[Desire HD General] joooe:
I never flashed a stock rom before, but it's surely not through clockworkrecovery.

Download the latest rom for example, from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382928

Install HTC Sync from the htc website and install the rom from the pc, while phone is synced.
[Desire HD General] tjfoo:
Can you connected to HTC Sync with non-Sense based ROM?
[Desire HD General] kerol_my:
may be,u can use rom manager to boot to cwm recovery.
[Desire HD General] glen8:
Every single ROM since we installed MIUI keeps saying BAD IMAGE
[Desire HD General] ashu_crazyboy1994:
the problem is complicated but the solution is quite simple head here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace:_Support_Downloads and download the stock images then follow this steps:-

1. place it at the root of your sdcard as "PD98iMG.zip"

2. use any app you like to boot in bootloader not the recovery

3. it will automatically serach and ask for update press vol up to confirm

4. after reboot you will have stock and NO ROOT

5. then install HTC SYNC on your pc and then try the RUU of your choice it will work

Anybody thinks that the delay isn't about pushing the RAZR is crazy.

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.

You are now chatting with 'Mya'

Mya: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

Scott: Do you have any information regarding the release of the galaxy nexus?

Mya: I do not have any information about that phone but I can help you find another great phone today.

Scott: When I switch to Verizon, I just want the galaxy nexus.

Mya: What do you like about that phone?

Scott: Android 4.0, NFC, direct support from google for software updates, 720p Super AMOLED display, stock android software, LTE.

Mya: Have you considered the Droid RAZR?

Scott: I have not, but I do know what the RAZR is. Verizon pushes the Droid line of phones onto its customers.

Scott: It's Verizon's specific line of Android powered phones so that's what they want to sell the most of.

Mya: Well the RAZR is a great phone to consider. Right now the iPhone is a huge seller but it seems like the RAZR would be a better fit for you.

Scott: Why would the RAZR be a better fit?

Mya: Well it is a better phone over the iPhone. It is Android, it is a 4G LTE phone.

Scott: Have you seen or heard about the galaxy nexus?

Mya: I have not, we do not have any information about that phone.

Scott: I mean do you even know what it is?

Mya: I do know what phone you are referring to I just do not have any information about it but the RAZR does have a 4.3" Super AMOLED advanced display.

Scott: So you have heard about the galaxy nexus. Have you read any of the specs about the galaxy nexus?

Mya: I have not.

Scott: The Galaxy Nexus is superior in every way compared to the RAZR. Verizon must want to just sell the RAZR and not the Nexus.

Mya: Is there anything I can help you with regarding a phone that we currently have or a order?

Scott: If you don't have any information regarding the galaxy nexus, then no.

I like how a small delay in the release of a phone causes people to go around harassing customer service reps and radio shack employees.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Small delay? Where have you been, under a rock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] engwee:
Buy the god damn razr!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
technically its not that big. I can name at least 5 things that have had longer delays:

1. Droid Bionic

2. Duke Nukem Forever.

3. Arrested Development Movie

4. Chinese Democracy by Guns and Roses.

5. Ghostbusters 3

On topic though, It sucks that they are at least partially delaying this due to the razr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smot13:
Nope.

The delay has been anywhere from a week to a month depending on what rumors you bought into. A drop in the bucket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Well the phone was unveiled mid october, and it's mid december, and Verizon refuses to even acknowledge it's existence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellbringer626:
Verizon never announced a release date...It hasn't even been a full month since the GSM release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
A month is not a large delay in the grand scheme of things.

I find it funny that:

1) You told her you wanted an android phone, so somehow when she tries to tell you about another android phone, the RAZR, it means Verizon is delaying the Nexus for the RAZR?

2) Everyone on this forum knows not to take anything a CSR says without a few thousand grains of salt. And now all of the sudden everything this "online chat rep, Mya", says is true?

Don't get me wrong, I have trolled a handful of CSRs in my time, but using what a CSR says to prove your own theories is just plain stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Must be coincidence too that when I walk into 2 different verizon stores and say I'm looking to switch to verizon, they immediately mention the razr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
They do that because many of these sales people are on commission and would rather sell you phone that is currently available vs. a phone that might be available next week. Since the Nexus won't be out until a later date you could possibly get it from a different store and that is one less customer for them.

Now I agree that corporate might have partially delayed the phone due to the Razr and Rezound, but I think that that happened before the original projected date of Thanksgiving week. I think the most recent delay (last week) had more to do with the either the 4g outage, or the Google Wallet issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Well obviously, but that doesn't mean they're delaying the nexus for it you are just coming to your own conclusions with no evidence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
No offense but OP you just sound obnoxious from this conversation. Giving hard time and jeering at a random customer service rep just because your phone is delayed? You could have asked about GN in a more decent way I'm sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
While offering a current available phone makes sense... I'm hard pressed to know they don't have some extra incentives for the Razr. Even the Razr vs Rezound. How many times have they pushed the Rezound? Never. They never even mention it unless you specifically ask for it. "Oh yea that phone... its ok"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djkinetic:
if u really want the GN now, go with a GSM carrier order it unlocked online...no need to harass/bother CS Reps or Sales Reps..I used to work in the wireless retail industry so I know how it is for those people..Granted I was alot more informed then your average rep because I keep up with tech all the time..many times they do have information about the product before launch but are told explicitly not to say anything to the customer about it..Bottomline if u want the GNex on Verizon just wait patiently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Of course a VZW Rep is going to push the Droid line. It's their flagship series. Sure, the Rezound is a powerhouse compared to the RAZR, but they know the Droid brand sells like hotcakes, hence the major push. Also, as people have mentioned before, they'd rather try to sell you a phone that's available than a phone that isn't. No need to go harassing reps because of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgbkny:
Last week, I went to a local Verizon store during my lunch break to ask about the status of the GNex. The reps pleaded ignorance and, upon noticing my Sensation 4G, tried to steer me towards a Rezound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
Big red's corporate offices are plastered with Droid RAZR marketing. It's even in the bathrooms! Meanwhile, not one mention of the GN anywhere. The GN must be a small-fry deal for them. There's no marketing campaign. Meanwhile the RAZR continues to get pumped up for holiday sales.

But, I don't think they delayed the GN for the RAZR though. I don't think the GN was ever a threat. If I had to guess, they were getting the baseband right, dealing with battery life issues and a network outage. Quick aside, you don't launch a device during an outage unless you really want to make a horrible first impression and blow up your call centers. No matter what, clearly something didn't go as planned. Retailers are currently sitting on inventory they are embargoed from selling which is something they really don't like to do.

For my opinion its a little bit early for custom rom and kernel.New phone so new stuff for the devs and a lot of tests for them.

I tried some custom rom but for now im on latest root stock, deleting lot of uselles apps, ics animation and battery% (you can find in theme's thread) and everything is fine for me.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Got my V5 about 2 weeks ago. Been playing with it for a while - tried both the newer roms and currently running the ios version that is made available about 10 days ago. Been working fine for me, except I may gps is very slow (can take up to 10 minutes for it to find me), and the built in FM Transmitter does not work. I also have various chinese apps which I was not able to delete. I will try the latest rom to see what improvemements it has.

Question, how did you root the phone? I downloaded superoneclick, but keep getting hung on the "waiting for device". I have usb debuggin on, and tried it both with "usb connect" on and off (the setting in the phone to establish a usb connection to a PC). Instead of using this "usb connect" feature, do I need to download some type of usb driver for this phone? If so, can you provide details? I've tried various usb drivers for MT6513 but nothing yet works - even tried something called PDANet which installed some type of software oin the phone and said it was connected, but still the superoneclick failed. Any ideas?

Oh, by the way I found a vending.apk that works on the ios rom. See link below

http://www.mediafire.com/?khpvzmzwwaqyxdm

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyber_Dude:
I have uploaded the drivers for GooApple V5, here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?h6hr1ckrf3sc7cj

How to root your GooApple V5:

Make sure you use Win XP.

Download drivers file from the link above and unzip it.

Phone Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources, on

Phone Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging, on

Phone Settings -> Applications -> Development -> to keep awake, on

Phone Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Allow analog location, on

Connect the data cable, turn on USB storage in the phone.

In the Windows Device Manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager) find your phone, open properties and install or update the drivers from the unzipped folder.

Reboot your computer.

Now download the SuperOneClick from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 If you run XP, install .NET Framework v2.0 or above.

Shut down your antivirus/firewall.

Turn off USB storage in the phone. Make sure you do not mount the sd card.

Run the SuperOneClick BOOT process. If it's not success from the first time try it again.

After that install the Root Explorer to your phone, go system/app, push Mount R/W button and delete any app you want.

Thanks for the vending.apk, here are also some tips for it: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-new-android-market-2-2-6-on-your-device/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Cyber_Dude, thanks for the engineering mode code. You've done a nice job on the rooting info. Just for the story: I've done it on W7, 32bit and worked alright too. Newest superoneclick has the ability to forcibly ask for Admin privileges. Drivers have to be installed manually though.

I've found out into the Engineering menu that there's a CPU Frequency test that reports a high of 806MHz. THAT would be awesome to have when needed. Do you have any *working* utility that is able to over clock the MTK6573 CPU of it? I've tried some from the market but with no luck whatsoever.

Some info on the WiFi boosting would be helpful too. I've been digging into the /etc directory and found out several conf files that may, or may not do the job. I'd rather not alter the values on my own though...

Ah, finally another addition:

There seems to be an issue importing/exporting my contacts from the phone to google.com. Plus the Account and Sync options on the settings menu isn't reporting the respective field (i.e.: only Picassa, books and gmail is able to sync. Contacts is not on the list).

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Cyber_dude - thanks for the rooting details. Got my V5 rooted today, and it worked from my vista laptop (didn't need a xp PC). I deleted the 9 chinese apps no problem including the chinese market app.

The vending.apk I provided works whether you root or not - however now that I'm rooted I will keep your instructions in mind if I want to upgrade to a different market version.

I'm still on the Dec1/2011 ios rom - anyone know what the newer ios rom (Dec10/2011) has to offer? I have tons of apps and settings personalized, so I'm not really wanting to wipe the phone to load the latest ios rom unless I know it will have some improvements.

Only problems I still have, which I would appreciate feedback on, are:

1) gps is very slow to find my location (can take up to 30 minutes). Funy thing is that as I scroll on the map it refreshes fast, and I can find addresses and streets, but it just can not find my location?

2) ther built in FM Transmitter does not work - would love to get this working since I do not have bluetooth stereo in the car. FYI - found other fmtransmiiter.apk apps on the net - can I just replace my existing same app on systems/bin to make it work?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jontelang:
Have you tried it with the 'new' Android UI ROM? How does it perform? I'd really like to see some videos - youtube only has 13 and I've seen them all ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
1) Same thing here. From the data sheet (from Mediatek) of the MTK6573 (which this phone has) the update location should be as fast as 10ms (that's 1/100 of a second) so something is DEFINITELY wrong.

2) I think you'll have to 'sign' it somehow. There are some apps that are supposed to provide 'signed' apps but never got to work with one; so I have no experience.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyber_Dude:
macsga, DanADaMan, you are welcome. ;)

I think cpu overclocking is not in time now and it also can make even worse. But we'll be glad if you can find any good, stable working app for that and test it. The only thing need to be overclocked now is the iOS UI, it should have to be polished well to match the original one.

For WiFi boosting, have you tried Wifi Fixer or Wifi Analyzer, you can change your WiFi channels with it.

GPS chipset is very bad. It's just a copy, fake phone, so they have used the cheapest hardware parts for it, we should reconcile to it. Unless they somehow fix it in new firmware, but I don't think it's gonna happen in near future. :( The main market for this phone is China, so they don't hasten with any international changes. As GooApple sales director said to me: "we sold more then 500pcs aday, should this problem happend to every phone, i think all the phone should return to us". So maybe chinese people are just not as demanding as we are, and they are happy with the phone? Anyway, I think with a good administrative force all listed issues can be resolved in just one week.

By the way, as I know they are planning to produce new phone in January with the 3G support. No info about any other new hardware at the moment.

Meantime we have to add new issues to the list:

39. GPS is very slow to find my location (can take up to 30 minutes).

40. Built in FM Transmitter does not work.

41. Importing/exporting my contacts from the phone to google.com. Plus the Account and Sync options on the settings menu isn't reporting the respective field (i.e.: only Picassa, books and gmail is able to sync. Contacts is not on the list).

42. In last gooapple_ios_11.12.08 firmware it doesn't react on first home button push after lock screen, it only shows unlock screen after the second home button push or fast twice push.

Updates in the last gooapple_ios_11.12.08 firmware:

Increase in task manager.

Blocking state to increase unread text message reminder.

Debug chinese QQ picture upside down.

Some Google applications added (en maps, gmail, voice..)

Task Manager.

Standby SMS prompts.

Double-click the home button shows running/standby apps and kill possibility like in original iOS.

Plus issue 42 added.

I haven't tried all new features in gooapple_ios_11.12.08 I don't want to use it because of the 42 issue. Now I'm using previous gooapple_ios_11.11.30 version. If anyone already installed and running the gooapple_ios_11.12.08 please give us your feedback.

DanADaMan, maybe you should try to make the data backup in stock recovery mode first and install firmware update after that? Maybe this should keep all your apps in and give you the new firmware? (haven't tried by myself)

jontelang, Sure, Android UI works much better with it, but I personally don't want to use it on this phone, it would be too simple and means you gave up making iOS UI ROM better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
As a side note, I've noticed that the phone is able to provide extraordinary 2D & 3D performance. I don't agree with the comment "It's just a copy, fake phone, so they have used the cheapest hardware parts for it, we should reconcile to it." you posted earlier Cyber_Dude, because I've seen cheap devices and this is nothing like it.

I do believe that the dev team has issues supporting the phone chipset due to the novelty that presents at the current time. This processor came out only at the end of June 2011 (fairly new).
