simple, if you don't use it , turn it off.

how much different do you see? it should be close to zero
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vukadmos:
I just bought some blank NFC tags online to set up around my house and control my HOX according to the room.

However, I don't know if the phone will be able to read the tags while being inside the Speck case, which is kind of thick.

Have any of you played with NFC tags before and have any idea about this?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] agentdr8:
NFC should be able to read through most cases, but the range is only 4cm or so from the back of the phone.

HD Contacts

===========================================

I WILL NOT BE CHECKING THIS THREAD POST. IF YOU HAVE ISSUES OR FIND BUGS PLEASE EMAIL ME VIA GOOGLE PLAY'S DEVELOPER EMAIL LINK - THANKS

===========================================

Changelog:

See Google play store

===========================================

Purpose: The purpose of this application was to fix the infamous bug for ICS devices. The bug that I'm referring to is the one where contacts images downloaded to the device from your G-mail account blurry. This is app stores a copy on cropped images on SD card and then stores a reference. This way when you flash a new ROM or have to reset your phone then you can easily restore these high resolution photos back to contacts quick and painlessly.

THIS IS ONLY A WORKAROUND. THIS DOES NOT COMPLETELY FIX THE KNOWN GOOGLE ISSUE WITH LOW RES CONTACT IMAGES ON RESYNC

DOWNLOAD

===========================================

Developer: Joshua Garrison

Current Version: 1.0.2

Requires 1.6 and up

Category: Tools

Click the image to download from the market

===========================================

Change Log

1.0 - 1.0.2:

Fixed "Select from Gallery" action picker to include "Use by default for this action"

Fixed "Choose Activity" action picker for "Feedback" to include "Use by default for this action"

===========================================

Special Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Randomverll:
Does this provide multiple account sync (Facebook, Skype, etc)?
[Android Apps and Games] Skatedawg:
This does not interface with facebook or skype. Its purely contacts on just the phone level. You have to have the persons photo the first time you set everything up.
[Android Apps and Games] scooteriuly:
not working

I set an contact picture, i'ts all ok, backup database in hd contacts, remove google account, add google account, sync... low res contact picture.

Enter HD contacts app, restore database, apply picture, nothing changes. Select with long press contacts name in hd contacts app, selecting modify, turns "Curently no contact photo for this contact".

I did something wrong on these steps? pls help

I'm on android ICS 4.0.4.

p.s. sorry for bad english

It does not fix the problem for Google contacts being blurry on sync. It is more of a workaround. But i have noticed a bug in my app and will be temporarily pulling the app from the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
I first looked to see if I could find a related topic with no luck. I was just curious if you has to do a backup every time you flashed a new ROM? If so if you revert back to an old rom will that rom find the restore that pretains to that rom that was once backed up in the past? Or will you have to tell it what backup/restore to use. I think I confused myself with my own question, I hope someone gets what I am trying to ask. Thanks everyone for your past help. Have a great night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
lets say you have 4 nandroids (backups in CWM) on your phone

1

2

3

4

you want to restore #3

you go to backup/restore in CWM, and select #3

it goes to THAT backup....its not complicated. every nandroid(backup) is a 'snapshot' of the device as it was at that time the backup was performed, and the backups are labeled with the dates in case you forget which one is which
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
So basically a back or a restore point really has nothing to do with the ROM, correct? It just pertains to my files apps and setting that I choose to backup? Please be patient I`m still in the learning process. Your input in much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
No that's not it, its just your rom, your apps, and your settings. Nothing on the sd card is touched. It literally freezes where you are and let's you go back to that point again if you need/want to

Here in Singapore an iPhone can be sold for around $900. A HTC One X costs $720. If somebody wanted to give me an iPhone 4S for my SGS2 I would gladly take it, sell it and get the One X.

[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
The only iPhone I've ever owned is one I won in a contest, a 4s that saw less than a week of use. I use wp7 as my primary OS and when I feel like a masochist I pick up an android device which for the most part I mod my own roms for, usually by cleaning up cyanogenmod to attempt to speed up and stabilize android, but it's just not as smooth or stable as the competition. Despite what numerous fandroids believe, being able to follow step by step instructions to flash a pre-built rom could be done by my two year old. That doesn't make you understand any more about the OS as a whole. At least with this post though, you addressed the situation with some level of tact and maturity.
[Off-topic] axne1:
Point taken. Everybody want to be a pro.. The devs make Android awesome. The hating makes no difference to me. Let the blind lead the blind. Fools don't even like Googles flagship device. (just read all of the Gnex vs x or y. I love both Os. They are all different, it brings a nice welcome change to my life after ONLY using Android for years before trying this ipad. So I would say if you never tried IOS why not if you got the Ching.

my biggest beef with the iPhone is the wristwatch sized small screen, and no Widgets, just kooks like the app drawer is always open.

I wish I could still ignore the lag in android. I guess you'll blame it on the devices I've used? Well, I thought the gs2 international, note international, gnex international, and rezound all need some serious overhauling.

Apart form the screen size thing this post is so full of bull that it's not even funny. The A5 SOC hammers the **** out of the crapdragon in the Evo. Also, the iPhone4s camera is still one of the best shooters on the market (at least in the 8 mp range...yeah it's a 8 mp unit). Sure iOS is locked, but nothing comes free, neither on Android nor on iOS, unless you're using pirated apps. Honestly a jailbroken iPhone isn't much worse than an Android, the things you still cannot change are 90% gimmicks anyway. God, I don't really like the iPhone either, but at least get your "facts" straight...

It's depressing to see how many illiterate 10 yrs old fangirls are trolling the forums spewing crap on things they know **** about, typing from their first ever smartphone. And all of this basically because their mom didn't get them an iPhone :rolleyes:
