[Android General] cttttt:
I think that's just the way it works. i.e. the call log program is unaware of how the call was made--it just knows which number was dialed and at what time and resorts to a reverse look up to get the name. You can sort of see this from the way the numbers pop up...and then the names start filing in. Also, after adding a new contact for a number, the contact name magically appears in the call log.

I know its a hack, but what if you try variations on the number for your contacts with the same phone number? For example:

123-123-1234

123-1234

+1-123-123-1234

1-123-123-1234

Depending on your phone company, these may all dial the same phone number (but, you'll want to confirm that they won't charge you long distance for using 11 digits to dial a local number). With luck, they may fool Android into thinking that they're different phone numbers.

As for incoming calls, though, you may want to make a contact for just the company with a number that matches whatever your call display pops up when either person calls. There's no way it'll know who's on the other end if the call display is the same across your colleagues.

Hope this helps,

[Android General] brainflurry:
Hi cttttt,

Thanks for the response. The reverse lookup of the first contact listed for a number is understandable for an incoming call, but I would think there should be a way where dialing outbound from a manually selected contact would write the selected contact name to the Call Log.

Is this something that could be accomplished with a third party app? Perhaps a dialer with a contact look-up that rewrites the call log to reflect the selected contact (or keep a call log of its own)?

I'd appreciate the input of a developer or anyone with experience with the OS to suggest whether this can be accomplished programmatically...

I was searching for the same thing for my GS3 and found this solution:

[Since I am new, it won't let me post the link...which is the helpful part. here is an attempt to get you the information anyway.]

souvey.com

Short answer: create a contact on the phone (not google/gmail), it seems to search those first.

The link gives other stuff you can do; I found the above to work quite well.

2- when I power it on and hold it down simultanousely with vol down it takes me to the blue+green+white screen and usb script underneeth.

3- If I power it on and holds power on simultanousely with vol down and up I can get to factory reset but it wont do me any help.

[HTC Sensation] Brobarian:
So I flashed Virtuous Inquisition Quattro and Virtuous Inquisition. I preferred the later because I can get mobile hot spot to work. However, I like Trebuchet launcher more than Nova. So I took the Trebuchet apk and RW onto Virtuous Inquisition ROM. My question is where can I find the AOSP caller that is on VIQ ROM so I can RW onto VI ROM. They both have the AOSP dialer and contacts, but when you make a call on VIQ, it is AOSP caller, whereas VI caller is still not AOSP. Anyone know where I can find this apk.

p.s. I am not sure if I am referring to the AOSP apk correctly. I am assuming it is the caller apk, it might be related to systemui, not sure, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] Brobarian:
extra info

BTW I am using sensation 4g android version 4.0.3, most recent VirtuousInquisition build 3.0.0. :eek:
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Afaik, using the aosp caller screen you're referring to on virtuous Inquisition doesn't work (they've tried and have ben trying very hard). Like rmk has been saying, sense is integrated VERY reply into the rom and kernel, even into the very low level stuff.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Brobarian:
Thanks for the info geoffcorey. I was reading through what seemed to be endless threads on both ROMS and could not find any info on it. Guess I will just have to wait for VI update for AOSP caller apk.

Hi folks.

I bought a ST18i Ray about a month back for my girl friend and recently found out that there is a problem with the front cam. It doesnt work with either skype or tango for video calls but when in camera mode i am able to switch to the front cam and it works.

I googled befoere writing up here and just wanted to know if this is a problem of my device or is it a global one.

Please let me know if you are able to use the front camera with skype or any other video chat app.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SwissGeeK:
The Xperia Ray is officialy supported by Skype so it should be working. Try to clear the data on Skype to see of that helps. (In Manage Applications)

If you are able to use it in camera mode, then that means the hardware works fine, and it's a software problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tintin100:
The native 3G video call is not available on Ray. but if even Skype is also unable to call, i think you should update the firmware from SE site. To do that, download and install sony ericsson PC companion and update service from the support page of Xperia ray. start the software, turn off the phone, connect to PC with USB, follow the on screen instruction. (backup your phone beforehand). Your problem should be solved by now. (while updating.... never never disconnect the USB)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gunemalli:
thanks for your input. It was an hardware issue i think. The retailer gave me a new phone as they also thought it was a firmware issue but even after upgrading the firmware it didn't work.

I'm aware that native 3G video calling is not there as the ray doesn't have a video call supporting modem.

Thanks

It was announce that there is an for unofficial port of MIUI v4 v2.1.20 for the Galaxy S II. Apparently it is quite stable and was wondering if what the chances are of us MIUI starved Infuse owners can look forward to a port of this on our devices?

Why would you have to "stick up" for him? It's not like I passed judgment on his ROM or even mentioned it. Little sensitive no?

[Nexus S General] forpulse:
Hello XDA

So I have a nexus s (model I9020, baseband: I9020XXKD1) that was just purchased here in Canada from WIND. It came with 2.3.4 and when I tried to update it to ICS using manual method, it failed. Then I realized, that I have to be on 2.3.6 in order to update to ICS. However, I am not able to find a guide that shows me how I can update to 2.3.6 from 2.3.4. My phone is completely stock and never been rooted and I don't plan on rooting either. Can someone please point me to a guide that would allow me to do this. I tried but failed to find anything reliable. Thanks everyone and sorry for my newbie-ness.. :$
[Nexus S General] Flyer729:
Probably the reason why the manual update didn't work is because you are not rooted. I have the at&t version of the nexus and I went from 2.3.4 to ICS (CM9) without a problem. I did root to get ICS on my phone.
[Nexus S General] yoavp10:
It had nothing to do with root, if he is talking about the OTA update. I guess that the reason you can't update is because you have 2.3.4.

you can update manually to 2.3.6 (you can find the link in one of the stickies), or maybe force update (*#*#2432546#*#*).

[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
Hi Guys....

For All The New Members Here is the list of some ROMs that have Xperia look.

I am just telling My experience on these Roms.

**XGIN 6.1+6.2

Android: 2.3.7

Theme: Live with Walkman(v6.1) and Xperia mini new(v6.2)

RAM: Stable Average Free RAM, Best multitasking(Swapping will Amaze you)

CPU: Highly Responsive

Battery: Excellent

Kernel: Stock, Alfs supported

2D: 212 (Quadrant)

3D: 378 (Quadrant)

Pattition: Ext4/3/2. I am using EXT4, its fastest.

Conc: Daily purpose ROM, best ROM, best for Hard multitaskers(After swapping 500mb)

**Stornmix 2.2.0(only)

Android: 2.3.7

Theme: Xperia Theme with changed background

RAM: Stable and More Free RAM, good multitasking

CPU: highly responsive

Battery: Excellent

Kernel : Stock, Alfs has mounting problems Even with update.chargemon+vold.zip

2D: 256 (quadrant)

3D: 383 (quadrant)

Partition: Not Supported ???

Conc: Unique ROM, Fast ROM, there is only bug for me like sometimes hanging up when long press power button.

**GingerCruzt

Android: 2.3.7

Theme: Stock Xperia

RAM: Less Free RAM(due to almost all xperia apps), not much Stable, average multitasking.

CPU: Highly Responsive

Battery: Good

Kernel: Stock,Alfs supported(v8.4), nAa supported (v8.5)

2D: 210 (Quadrant)

3D: 368 (quadrant)

Partition: Ext4/3/2

Conc: This ROM has features of Xperia mini. But less multitasking and less battery backup makes it average Rom. Swapping is Must for this ROM otherwise poor multitasking.

**GingerXperia

Android: 2.3.7

Theme: Xperia Mini

RAM: Stable, Average free, Good multitasking

CPU: Highly responsive but with overclocking.

Battery: Excellent

Kernel: Stock,Alfs Supported

2D: 204 (Quadrant)

3D: 355 (Quadrant)

Partition: Ext4/3/2

Conc: Rom is Fast if I don't Change performance setting under cyanogenmod settings on Stock kernel othwise I will get this ROM laggy on stock kernel.

On Alfs kernel its pretty Charming ROM.

Q: Why These Roms Are Slower?????

Ans: The Roms which are Xperia Styled are somewhat slower than ordinary styled like GDX and MiniCM7 (not talking about 2D performance but of overall performance).

Reason:

1. Timescape as it requires 20 Mb for running with its widget. Even if you don't use widget then its extensions are running in background....causing battery drain and less free RAM...so less multitasking.

2. media widget This service runs all the time on the Rom even if you are not using it.

3. Photo widget This service also runs in background sucking Battery. And you will feel the Xperia launcher a little bit laggy in sliding when this widget is added to it.

4. Walkman When this application running then Cpu frequency is always 480Mhz and above.. So less services to other applications. Hence..sluggishness

Solution:

Use other music Applications from market like PowerAmp etc and delete walkman.

Delete timescape and its all files(extentions, )

from /system/apps/....It has 7 files.

Delete photo widget & media Widget.

Post my issue yesterday the thread was named bootloop from hell. I am trying to use fastboot to flash a new recovery so i can wipe everything since someone said the problem was from my old recovery. I have all the sdk tools installed and the paths set for the commands. but every command i run it says is not specified. Im hoping someone can help me get this goin so i can actually intiate an adb session.

I am on hboot 1.4 soff but i have no recovery now since i flashed the pg86img but it falied to unzip the system step. Someone also told me to use cwm instead of twrp but i cant find the zip all of them are disk images. If i can find the zip to rename pg86img and go into recovery and run virus wipe tool im hoping that will work to avoid fastboot. any help is much appreciated thanks in advance.

is there anyway at all to recover, what was a whole year's worth of SMS messages of a teenage girl.

I don't think there are any other carriers in the US that use the necessary frequencies for mobile high-speed other than AT&T and H2O, no.

Yup, this works; I've got this exact setup, and my bill is around $65 a month. That's for 450 anytime minutes (with rollover), 5000 night/weekend minutes (with rollover), unlimited mobile to any mobile minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited "non-smartphone" data.

From what I hear, you could even go on the GoPhone unlimited everything plan for $50 a month, and it works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The ISGS2 doesn't support T-Mobile US' bands so you'll get 500K down using GRPS. GoPhone plan's double that to about 950K. If you want fake-4G, you'll have to go with a real AT&T plan. What you can do is sign up for a cheap minutes plan and add unlimited messaging with mobile-to-any-mobile calling ($20) and add the unlimited data for non-smartphones plan for $10. It's not too bad a price that way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogir:
So what you guys mean is that if I get an at&t plan (whichever one) and puch in these apn settings I will get unlimited HSPA? Even if I get a prepaid plan? Do I have to get a data plan included or what?
