If your contacts were all Google contacts you need only to log onto the phone with the same gmail address and they will automatically be synced back to the phone through google. I can find my contacts on my pc here https://www.google.com/contacts_v2/#contacts

If you exported your contacts to your sd card then the file should be on the root of your sd card. Depending on the type of contacts the names will be different. If phone contacts they will start with pcsc and if they are google the file will start with google. Files will have a ".vcf" suffix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Go to the contacts apps, menu and then import / export from sdcard. It will detect your .vcf file automatically and download it to the cell.

I'm not responsible, If I Brick Your device. btw I'm not gonna Brick it !!!!

Bug

1. Lag (menu, animations)

2. Battery Issue

3. Offline Charging not working

as far as I know those are the main bugs.

Debug

1. Go to Settings --> Developer Option --> Window animation scale & Transition animation scale --> "set .5x"​

This Reduce lags 98%

2.1 Go to Settings --> Developer Option --> Background Process Limits --> set "No background Process"

2.2 check ur build.prop, if there is a line 'persist.rildenabled' delete that line​

This makes phone to be in deep sleep and increases the battery life

3. If u use cwm, probably it is clashing wit offline charging? Solution download the below chargemon and owerite in system/bin, please note you will loose ur cwm recovery.
​

Note : If you listen to music, make sure to stop it from apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daashali:

Changing "Limit background processes" to anything else than default helps with overall smoothness - but I don't recommend setting it to "no background processes" (2-3 is the best in my case). Phone should go into deep sleep regardless of this setting.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
my phone never saves when i change background processes - it will always go back to standard after a reboot. is that because im using arconium ICS or because i have v6 supercharger set up?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
hmmm... I tested it :) without background process my phone is up 5% down for 6 hours

Nopes I was running test, it was successful without BG process, Phone is responding well, Msg are working cool :)

I'm afraid this setting is never saved, regardless of ROM/device you have.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
I have been suffering from the battery drain issue thanks to Android OS never sleeping. I installed the ICS beta using the autoflash.bat file which, as well as enabling wi-fi and BT also included the following in build.prop:

persist.rildenabled=1

So I removed this line as it's not required. At the same time I also uninstalled LiveWare Manager which I'd installed soon after installing the beta.

Now my battery life is a lot better, Android OS seems to be sleeping (my phone has been on 3 hours and Android OS has only been awake for 20m). After 3 hours I'm still on 96%.

So either a) the build.prop change matters, b) LiveWare Manager sucks on ICS or c) my phone has settled down of it's own accord.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
Iris you totally beat me to it :D

This setting is irrelevant since it only controls RILD on/off. I'd say your phone has settled down :)

Sorry no solution yet. Modding framework/settings won't do, probably we would need an external app for this.

Cheers,

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiGGy:
I dumped my boot device which i believe is /dev/mtd/mtd2 according to /proc/mtd

#cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > boot.img

I took that image and ran the split_bootimg perl script on it to separate the kernel and ramdisk images.

#split_bootimg boot.img

Then I just tried to recombine them with mkbootimg without making any modifications.

#mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o boot-new.img

* I also tried an image with identical boot options as I found the stock kernel has

I then copied and erased/flashed the new image

#cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2

#flash_image boot boot-new.img

The phone just sits at the HTC screen forever when I try and boot it.

If I reboot into recovery and flash the original "boot.img" backup using the same method it boots OK.

What is it I'm missing? thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiGGy:
I tried dumping the new base.img I made

Original from ROM for comparison:

Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)

Kernel size: 2271684 (0x0022a9c4)

Ramdisk size: 167343 (0x00028daf)

Second size: 0 (0x00000000)

Board name:

Command line: no_console_suspend=1

Repacked:

Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)

Kernel size: 2271684 (0x0022a9c4)

Ramdisk size: 167343 (0x00028daf)

Second size: 0 (0x00000000)

Board name:

Command line: no_console_suspend=1

I also downloaded the kernel source for the incredible and tried to find the base address and used 0x10000000 on the mkbootimg command no to avail.

I did notice new image is smaller than the old by ~1MB! Even though when I unpack it still shows them as the same size.

3145728 boot.img

2443264 newboot.img

Any help here is very appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiGGy:
I found the solution. I was using the wrong base address on mkbootimg command

I found the proper base address by downloading the kernel source for the droid incredible.

(DROID Incredible by HTC (Verizon) – GB MR - 2.6.35 kernel source code)

Then I looked up the processor used in the incredible hardware in the file referenced below and got the proper offset. It's boot up now :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kalogerus:
I have a pioneer head unit in the car with USB compatibility that works with iPhones, iPods and blackberry's as far as I tested, I just cant get it to work with the tablet as it would initialize MTP and the head unit would display "Device not supported".

I figure since older and newer blackberries work with my head unit, its a software on the device itself that allows that compatibility. I have WiFi access in my car and mounted the tablet for music and GPS navigation. I'd like to use the head unit to control the music while driving and using GPS, but cant seem to find the option anywhere or find applicable software that would make it work.

Any suggestions regarding this?

im on blazer 3.9 and want to go to 4.0. cant i just put it on sd and flash from cwm? i know to wipe and all that. im not that savvy when it comes to this but i do know how to flash in recovery. and will dark fire still work??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ficjay:
Phantom stated that it is a different framework. If you wish to run without problems it seems that you should listen to the programmers recommendations on installing and thrumming no matter what ROM. I have found 4.0 to work great personally. As far as themes it may work and if you make a back up you don't have much to lose. The change in the framework may induce errors though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] faceyourfaces:
Put it on your sd, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash! You don't need to do a factory reset but you should wipe the cache to prevent system app crashes. You will have to flash Dark Fire again but I'm not sure if it would work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] harley1rocker:
thanx for the quick replies guys.... thats exactly the answer i was looking for. as for the other poster befor you,i do read instuctions... i said i dont understand some of the things and "terms" they use.. just need a lil extra help. thats all i wanted to know. can i flash in recovery... yes i can!!!

just a heads up tho,i am runnin the old dark fire theme on the new/old blazer 3.9 and its working...thanx yall
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
(should be in Q & A section but i'm not anal about that stuff =P) both posters are correct, however! I do recommend a full wipe when going from 3.9 to 4.0 for the simple fact that 4.0 has a new framework, and although it will flash ok, it may have fc's or may not run correctly. I recommend doing a full back then wiping all (data/cache/delvik) and flashing 4.0, then go back into recovery wipe cache/delvik again and go to (backup/restore) and advance restore data, and you should have everything back again. as for The theme, because it's a different framework, you can bet that there will be issues, they may be minor issues or major but you'll have to experiment with that yourself. Hope this helped. (ps. I'm drunk and didn't see when this was posted so if you already did something then ignore this =D)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Hello all. I'm curious how many of you are using your stock Captivate batteries or have purchased different higher capacity ones and what kind of life you get from them? (Particularly those running an ICS from with and without oc/ov/uv)

The stock battery is supposed to be a 1500 May capacity but there are many others out there.

I was lucky to get a full day or get into a second day without charging on stock battery. I then found a great place online with good replacements at different capacities for good prices and got some backups.

Just the 1750 May I got first was decent and was noticeable improvement and I just recently got a new 2200 May that came with a new back cover cuz it was tiny bit thicker to accommodate the higher yield and that one is great for getting two days plus...more if I UV, battery save profile and don't over use.

Battery life on my SGSICS on stock Platypus kernel was great and 1-2 days but once over to Glitch kernel that dropped dramatically until I got the new battery. But now that v14 b5 is out it is better on battery life and I now run it at 1.54Ghz beautifully and have found good voltages and battle life is easily into 2nd day again.

Curious to hear what some of you have for batteries and life cycles u get....

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
The 2.6.xx kernels vs the 3.0 kernel........

2.6.39.4 is maybe one ver behind 3.0 i think

Besides all the features can be back ported to the kernel that we are using :D

Also we still have to wait for kernel source before we can expect anything exciting
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
its also kernel not kernal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salv-ice:
There aren't a lot of differences between 2.6.39 and 3.0. In fact, Linus made the Linux kernel jump to version 3 because it has 20 years now, not because it's a major release.

So I don't think it really needed as 2.6.39 works well so far ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
The main reason due to Asus uses the old 2.6.39 (yes old, we are at 3.3 now, with a looot of changes) is because nVidia doesn't provide updated sources for Tegra's devices

That's all
