The one that I have been using is friends sync aka fsync by watto studios. It does a good enough job with three different photo quality settings small(zoom in on the pic), medium and large(zoom out on pic which is whatever the pic looks like on fb). :)

How do i fix my normal contacts that I have taken pictures of and tagged them to the contact? Re tag them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
go into each contact and change the picture.

Thanks to the other posts, HaxSync works great.

Be sure to set the contacts to display to just your gmail account, otherwise youll end up with 500+ of your facebook friends in your address book

try haxsync

works good for this

[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Boring question, but what's the case like? I too got mine from Nokia, but without it (the cases cardboard sleeve was there, but empty) so have resorted to an eBay gel effort.
[Nokia Lumia 800] weetigo:
Re: Case

The soft black case fits tightly to the contours of the screen, and back camera, so tight that several people thought it was the case for the phone until I slipped it off. There's a hole at the bottom for the speakers and one at the top for the usb port. The 4 holes on the button side are all slightly recessed allowing for even better button access, for those in-jacket volume changes.

Just search for CC-1031 Nokia and you should see some links for Nokia Europe Accessories page with info on these soft cover cases.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Warren.D:
As what weetigo said. The case is snug. Try contacing nokia customer service and explain to them you didn't recieve one. They may send one out.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
No one in the test group I'm part of got one... maybe I'll ask on the off chance, can't see them mailing one from Helsinki though. The eBay one isn't bad, sounds very similar in fact, very snug, recessed button holes etc. Only thing I don't like is the lack of protection for the top edge, but I don't see what can be done about that due to access needs.

Edit: Googled the official one, only difference seems to be that the SIM tray is blocked by the Nokia one and the eBay one doesn't have a divider between vol+ & -

Is the Galaxy S II worth to be swapped to Lumia 800? :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] davec26:
That's like asking us what clothes you should wear today ! Only you know what YOU like, play with the phone yourself and decide and choose what to do :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] Warren.D:
Personally No. I use so many apps that aren't available on WP7 yet. I do love WP7 though. Its personal taste, if the apps were there I'd happily switch between platforms.
[Nokia Lumia 800] CervezaPorFavor:
I just switched from Galaxy S II to Lumia 800 and yup, it's a downgrade primarily because of the apps. I miss Google Maps a lot. Having said that, Lumia 800 is a very good phone in its own right. :)

I just moved from a galaxy nexus to a lumia. WP7 os is enough for me and it has the apps I use.

Nice review! Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 800] joaocardoso:
I had a LG e900 and now I also have a Lumia 800. There are 3 things that are in my opinion a step back in relation to the lower end and older LG e900:

- Sound quality – Its really bad in my opinion.

- Autonomy (Nokia has stated that an update will be issued beginning next year to address battery issues)

- Screen – AMOLED is great but the pattern of the screen makes small letters harder to read. The LG LCD is better in that respect.

There are 4 things missing from a high-end phone like this:

- HDMI output

- Front facing camera

- More RAM! N9 has 64GB! Lumia only as 16.

- Inner-ear headphones. Going back from those to the ones provided in the box is not a good experience.

Really like the phone but there is room for improvement.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tkay564:
You should remember that Lumia 800 is not a high-end phone. It is only a mid range phone. The high end models are yet to be unveiled.
[Nokia Lumia 800] joaocardoso:
Well... there are devices on the same price range that have some of the features I mentioned. LG Optimus 2X for instance is being sold in Portugal for about 300 euro and the Lumia at best is over 400. The LG has fullhd recording capabilities, its duo core, tegra 2, and has a front facing camera. Thats what Windows Phone and Nokia are competing with.

I would not trade my Lumia for the LG mind you. But I still believe that the price range for Lumia should at the very least include some more storage and a front facing camera (after all it was one of the updates that Mango had in line to support).

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] qipengart:
Is this the same phone as the Lumia 710 coming out for T-Mobile next month?
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Definitely not. The Lumia 710 is the "budget" phone of the family, whereas the Lumia 800 is the midrange.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tkay564:
Optimus 2X is a year old model. When it hit the market the price was over 500 euros.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Almost, they're the same (internally) bar: 8GB vs 16GB & AMOLED vs LCD.
[Nokia Lumia 800] joaocardoso:
And thats supposed to matter to anyone buying a new device?

If a device with 1 year old has more features than a device released now, as a buyer, I may see it as an opportunity to get a good deal. A device with 1 year old is not obsolete by any measure. Unless you consider the lack of updates from the manufacturers and carriers. That was the reason I left Android.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] tkay564:
Of course it matters. Manufacturers rely on the fact that early adopters pay almost anything to get their gadgets first. Cream of the crop you know..

My guess is that even with a price tag of 300 euros, Optimus 2X sales are not sky high because of it's age.. Besides, also the difference between premium/budget is clear. Hyundai can go and make whatever supercar they can, but they still do not get the status of a Mercedes.. The same applies to phones. LG is a budget manufacturer (btw, i own a E900) and Nokia is more on the premium side which means more of their pricing is based on the image of Nokia itself...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
The O2X is cheap because it has a very poor reputation. It's original shipping ROM was horrific, and mud sticks.

Check it's sub-forum and you'll see what it was like.
[Nokia Lumia 800] joaocardoso:
The thing with early adopters is that we get both the good and the bad. Lumia 800 is an amazing phone and the more I use it he more I love it. Would not trade it for any other Android device... or windows phone one for that matter. Still its not perfect and thats my point. Not everyone is willing to pay to be a early adopter and both Nokia and Microsoft needs to step it up to get more people on board.

This weekend I had my father in law (over 70yr old) to try the Lumia. Aside the small font letters he liked the interface. The touch interface works really well for him. Using swipe to change photos, to list contacts... he was working with the phone in less than 5 minutes. We are talking about someone that does not use computers and never used a smartphone on his life. With some improvements I think Windows Phone will be the best mobile experience on the market. Add that amazing hardware from Nokia and this is a winner.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrEpic:
Problem: On ACS 5.5..i noticed that when i picked up my phone..speaker phone automatically came on. I didnt notice naturally because hell, u put your phone to your cheek so i thought i had chonky cheeks with a sensitive phone. So i flashed the Revival Rom..considering from what i hear is based on the 5.5. Naturally, i had the same problem. Messing around with both roms all day i found that...

Solution: Menu > Settings > Lockscreen settings > Misc Settings > Phone answer type...i had to choose tab answer. Puzzle answer didnt work for me personally.

From what i heard today i am the only one who has suffered this travesty but that my personal fix. I hope this helps someone! I really didnt wanna give up on either of these fantastic roms or i would have just switching!! Good jobs guys on both roms!! Happy Flashing!!!

I would love to have one but I'm only a year into my contract.
[Fascinate General] Tone_Capone:
Same. Its a sweet phone but since im not a developer per-se, It doesnt make a lot of sense to spend a ton of moeny get it right now. I will wait to see if there is any development that I need to be part of before considering buying one.

Plus, I would like to see if CM9 will run well on the fascinate. I love making "old" last longer than the carrier tells us it should.

Waiting to see how Motorola incorporates their UI with ICS. hope its nice and slick like ICS itself. the more i think about the GNex the more i dont like it. kinda looks ugly imo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] techwerkz:
Is this possible, or am I missing something? I could have swore this was possible in the past, but now it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Autris:
If you have ever written anything to the External SD card, you'll notice it writes at half the speed that its supposed to. I came from an EVO 4g, same card, same formatting. I would get on average 4mbits a second write, but on the Galaxy S II, I'm getting half the speed. If I pull the card out of the phone and put it in my computer directly, it writes at 4mbits, and the internal partition for sdcard also writes at 4 mbits.

Would it be possible to mount external_sd as a different mount point (say sdcard_ext on the root)?

If anyone can manage to get it mounted as something different could you run a speed test on the card and see if it's quicker?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
This question might have been asked before but I did look in all the threads that I found on search, neither really providing any solid or concrete answer.

So what choices/options do I have for making my Caller Images larger?. I tried downloading full screen caller from the market, which sadly make the image completely full screen, but also hides all the buttons so I cant record calls, or input DTMF tones etc :(

Ideally I would prefer a solution that would merely allow me to scale the images to the point of them touching the borders of the screen and thus leaving amble space for buttons or whatnot.

A russian or Ukrainie made an mod for the rom that allowed you to get bigger caller image while still retaining all the buttons, keys etc. Sadly the mod was only made for russiann keyboards, and now the mod is absolete as it is for an old old rom.

So what options/choices do I ideally have to solve this slight annoyance?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
I think you didn't play with the settings of full screen caller, it can do what you want,,, and talking about hiding buttons, well you can hide full screen caller with the back button.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
Well having to hit back to hide it it just excess button presses. Its ok its there when people call, but then it can *beep* off when I have taken the call and show the actual dialer.

And are you sure I can setup full screen caller to only enlarge the image to the sides, and not take up the full screen, and still show the original dialer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
Anyone that knows?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
The are 3rd party apps and mods just search forum as it has been posted or head over to market..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
I tried some of them and they all scale to full screen and wont go away when the call has been taken.

All i really prefer is to keep the original dialer, but make it possible for the image to at at least fill the entire width of the screen rather then being a tiny stamp at the middle..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrhoop:
Agree, just need a larger picture.

Im surprised that a genius of xda has not managed to modify the phone.apk to do this.

Would be a popular mod. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
Yea, you would think so. But noone seems to have been able to, or willing to post anything here that is close to a solution, or a possible solution. Other then getting FullScreenCaller or another app like it, and thats not what I want :/

Hi guys and gals,

I bought a cheapo 65 dollar MID Tablet and it soft bricked. I couldnt get it to go to recover mode and since it would cost 30 bucks to ship back to china I decided to cut bait and keep it.

Now, I was able to open up the device and pulled out the internal SD card. It has files on it but wont boot. I want to know if there is a way to recover my tablet by installing a new OS on a NEW SD card?

If I am totally off base please let me know. I am new to these cheap tablets and android having come from WM6.5 to myTouch4G Slide and this tablet.

ANy help would be much appreciated!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpjunior999:
So this is going to be a switch; my Fascinate is running CM7, the 11/16 nightly release with the 2.6.35.14 kernel. I have the Car Dock, which I plug in and the audio out works through the dock as advertised.

The thing is, I don't want it to! I use Vlingo InCar for hands-free directions, texting, et al, and when it's in the dock I have to run it out to my car stereo in order to hear any audio from my phone. The problem is once you open InCar, all other sounds are silenced, so I can't listen to music or podcasts, just Vlingo if I use it. So I need to find a way to make the audio come out through the speakerphone so I can still listen to the radio and occasionally say "Hey Vlingo!" when necessary.

Does anybody have ideas on how to do so?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1134:
At this point you'd have to recompile the kernel with the dock code stripped out. I may add a toggle in the future (for cm9, not working on cm7 any more).

I just received an epic touch coming from a simplified and easy rooting process on the regular Epic. I was really looking forward to rooting the ET , but what is this buisness with the yellow triangle and odin counts with tho odin root method? Is it just an advanced way of Samsung keeping track of all our rooting habbits? Im totally confused. And also if so , is there a root method to get around all of that , that includes CWM? I dont wanna be tracked , lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Do a Google search for ODIN USB jig and it'll explain everything. Also there's info here on the forum on how to reset the counter after flashing a ROM. It's not so they can track you, it just signifies that you've installed a custom firmware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnivalrejectq:
so incase of needing to send the phone back to sprint , using the odin method is safe? because it seems far less complicated then the other method
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Just use the auto root. No Odin, no upping your flash count, and you can use it to get CWM.

MediaStore is an Andoid content provider that manages images, music, and videos in your device. I believe that the more pictures, music and video you have on your device, the more space will be used. My understanding is this folder contains databases that handle all the serving of thumbnails, album covers, etc.

You could try moving all your media off the phone (temporarily) and reboot it. Then see how big that folder is.
[General Questions and Answers] gilrad:
Hello, I'm gearing up to upgrade my aging Dell Streak for a Galaxy Note.

First off, I need a store that ships internationally, but equally important, I want one that has a stellar customer service record and an awesome return policy.

The thing is, I have a really bad track record with online orders for electronic things. My current Streak is the second one, and even this one has a stuck red pixel right in the middle of the screen. A year ago I went through the process of buying a new monitor, and ended up going through five returns until I was given one that had an acceptable level of defects (Its not even defect-free!)

Given how AMOLED screens can slowly develop defects, it would also be nice if the store would give me at least two weeks to ship a return item so I can judge whether the screen will develop defects or not.

So tl;dr version is, I need an online store that ships internationally, has at least a 14-day return policy, and cheap or nonexistent return costs. Is that asking too much?

Any help would be appreciated!

I sure hope the Samsung Galaxy Nexus update 4.03 is better then 4.02 I like every thing about the phone but the Brightness level in low light in auto brightness. Its way to dark to see. Why is the notification bar so small and the notification bar is alot darker in color and hard to see there are no bright colors in the notification bar, what was bright green is now dull. The GPS, why does samsung not fix the jumpy movement that it has had for a long time. Samsung fascinate was the same way. When driving your arrow moves like a frog, it jumps across the screen. I need GPS for my work it needs to be dead on. Its is far from it. Droid X was so smooth moving. I might return for this reason alone.
