[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7heBoss:
Sorry if this is a common questions, when I use the search there are too many similar, but different, threads.

Is there any way I can backup my contacts so that I can save all the high res photos? because I just reapplied everyone's contact picture and so they are nice and pretty. However, when I wipe my phone and re-sync contacts with google, all of their photos are going to go back to being horribly pixelated. Can I use titanium backup or something?

and as an added bonus, is there any way i can backup everyone's custom ringtone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick8996:
This belongs in the Q&A section. Also have you tried clicking menu and clicking import or export? You can save a vcf file that backs up your contacts don't know about pictures or ringtones
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
When you export your Contacts to a vcf backup, it will save your contact photos but as a thumbnail.

Okay, no need to explain, just look at the attached pic

Normally we have a Caller, a Contacts, a Message, and a Applications on the bottom of the screen, but now the Message is missing, there are only 3 !

I just said missing because it's still working if I browse to the Message directly, this error happened when I replace my mms.apk with another, in the system/app because the old one broekke down, since then the icon is missing, does anyone know how to fix it ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
But u even don't have the icon in app drawer? (which u have open on pic)

If yes, hold the icon an drag and drop it in bottom to the other 3 icons.

(sorry if listening like for noobs but maybe misnderstood ur prob)

If the prob is really that u replace the file and then the icon nowhere is shown, then reflash rom (even without wipe), this will replace the system apps again and u should have the standard one back.

CHEERS ;)

In the TouchWiz launcher, it will only be either in the dock, or in the Applications. Not both. The dock remains visible when you have your app drawer open. Do you REALLY need it in both places?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfbb43:
I uninstalled the app(AntTek App Manager) that I froze my bloatware with. After I realized what I uninstalled I put the app back on my phone and now the bloatware is not listed as frozen. I cannot find a way to uninstall the bloatware and restore the backups. Would a factory reset defrost or restore the bloatware, or should I used the Droid RAZR Utility to restore back to stock? If I go with the utility would it be best to remove superuser and unroot before restoring back? I want to be ready for the OTA ICS update whenever it comes. Sorry this is all new to me and I've been searching for a few days, but not coming up with an exact answer. Thanks for looking.

You need to post this in your phone forum as I could not understand the first lines. I think you need not remove superuser and root before factory resetting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] saintsoulja:
OK, i have rooted my Nook Tablet 8GB; done the journey of unknown sources (it was so frustrating); installed amazon market and Google play!

I have a few questions that i could not get answers to. Here are all of them in one post. Please note that i read all the threads for new users and when i was not able to find a satisfactory answer, i made this thread.

Here are the questions:

1. My first issue is getting 3rd party apps on the home screen. I know you can install the App Manager and ask it to add to app shelve. They do not open from App shelve and then i have to go through another step of adding them to home screen. This takes a lot of time. How to add them directly to home screen of stock NT. If that is NOT possible, how to add them to shelve and run from there ? (When i try to run them from the shelve, i get the option to manage them. Nothing about running them)

2. Where do the files/apk that i download from the default browser go to ? Along with that where does Aurora and Dolphin browser save downloaded files ? What is the best browser to use (Read, i definitely need tabs !!)?

3. How to resolve widgets not loading in Go Launcher and Zeam Launcher ? Which Launcher do people prefer the most? I love Zeam because it allows a gazillion apps on one app screen. How to add Go Widgets to Go Launcher (Every time i try to download them, Google play says that they are not compatible)?

4. How to add widgets to the stock NT home screen ? Clock and weather specifically ? How to add/remove pages to home screen of stock NT ?

5. How to add epub/mobi to stock nook app and kindle ?

6. How to move all the apps to memory card ? they are eating a lot of space on my internal !

I know that's a lot of questions but i do not prefer to make a lot of threads for each question.

Thanks a ton.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Can't help with 1. It's been too long since I was on stock and that was 4.1.0 and before B&N blocked sideloading.

I use Dolphin Browser Mini. It has tabs and is understandable. Downloaded file go on sdcard in download folder under dolphin_browser_mini. I suspect stock stores in the download folder in the root of sdcard.

I use Go Launcher and don't have issues with widgets. I'm on the sdcard version of CM7. Go Launcher works well for me, although I have heard of some having trouble with it. When you long press where you want the widget don't forget to select the widget menu.

Can't help with the stock screen.

There are a number of ebook readers - Nook, Kindle, Aldiko to name a few. Download from Play. There are free ebooks, a google search. It takes some patience to get the covers, but if you use the list mode instead of bookshelf you can see the title.

To move the apps, go to your app manager and long press the app. You will get a screen that will allow it to be moved to sd and a lot more options.

is there any way to put back the DRM keys that lost after unlocking bootloader?

and for bootloader, can we 'locked' it again?

thx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
Yeah u can relock bootloader.. Once u unlock bootloader the DRM keys will lost & u cant put it back... If u only unlock using test point method then the DRM keys will be there..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Using unofficial unlock method keeps the DRM keys intact

So you can use TrackID,fb music Like,etc

Also,you can relock the bootloader :

Be it even if you unlocked via OFFICIAL or even UNOFFICIAL way :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] NR32:
Hi good thing I saw this thread. Now I'm thinking if I'm going to unlock my bootloader, any link how can I put the DRM Keys back? Or is it impossible? Also, aside from I won't receive OTA Update, won't be able to use TrackID (what else if ever?), losing warranty, what else are the disadvantage? And when JB comes, is it still possible to update if my phone is rooted (Bootloader Unlocked/Kernel Different) and without DRM Keys? Or I'll be able to have it again?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
AW: [Q] What is DRM keys

You can't get back your DRM keys once you unlocked officially your phone, they are lost! Unlock the boot loader via test point and you will keep your DRM.

Unlocking the boot loader doesn't result in losing warranty. Sony describes you might loose it and not you will lose it.

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
However to add to motorazrv3

You simply don't unlock bl and use stock Rom and kernel

You use custom Rom n kernels and thus,Sony takes no warranty about that incase things go topsyturvy while you run that kernel or Rom ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] NR32:
Oh thanks. What's test point by the way? And lastly, is DRM Keys are big deal? If I don't buy any music at all so far. Other than that, what's the use of DRM Keys?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TechExhibeo:
test point in unofficial method to unlock bootloader....

loosing DRM keys means u are loosing warranty... and by test point method bootloader is unlocked but DRM keys are preserved and left untouched ;)

DRM keys is used to recognise music using track id and other fb likes,fb music likes and other sony's apps dont work...

rest everything works...

By the way DRM keys are not a big deal

Hey

you guys whats up! I have been trying to get my Samsung Infuse 4G to touch-wiz 4.5. I recently saw this post and wanted to seriously upgrade. I am not stupid I know how to use an apk file and just install on my phone however, every time I try to install it won't install!!! at first i thought it was because I was trying to install a pack but I corrected myself and found another file. But, even then it didn't work. I am currently using Android 2.3.6 and I was wondering if you guys could kind of elaborate on it see what the problem is?

Sincerely Boricua

[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
Do you have to do anything special if your bouncing between nandroid backups with different kernels?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Not if you s-off.

If not then you also have to flash the kernel and possibly the firmware patch if ICS over GB
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The patch should already be contained in the Nandroid backup being restored if it worked before.

True.........

You have to use the new firmware patch if you upgraded your firmware after the nandoid was made tho
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintrjm:
I know that the quad core gets pretty good battery life, but 1.5ghz on LTE is another story.

I am realistic about battery life myself, dealing with a Samsung Droid Charge that barely gets 8hours with light use...

I am considering returning my Razr maxx after finding out that preOrdering a S3 will allow me to keep my unlimited data...

Yes my Maxx has a huge freaking battery, but if i can easily make it through a day with medium to heavy use is all i need.

The maxx can make it through a day and a half to two days of moderate to heavy use.

Thoughts?

hi i need some help

i have D2G

system ver: 4.5.608

Android ver : 2.3.3

kernel : 2.6.32.9

how can i unlock band to use AT&T network???

i try some topic, but i't not working, so what should i do ???

THANKS
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
If your phone is sim unlocked for foreign sims, yes you can, but it involves flashing some sbf files, so there will be some risk involved.

There are a couple of alternate ways you could do this, one is covered at Rootzwiki at

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8326-d2g-gingerbread-hack-for-us-band-unlockers/

In your case, if you are already rooted, and want to preserve your setup, you could make your own nandroid backup (using droid 2 bootstrap recovery), and then follow the instructions in the above link. However, instead of restoring the Nandroid backup in that link, you would restore your own. I guess the older radio software has some glitches, but is the only way to get the phone on AT&T.

In order for this to work, you must flash either 2.4.29 or 2.4.330 sbf with rsdlite, in order to flash the radio band. Linux methods or EzSbf won't flash the older radio.

An alternate method would be to SBF twice, once with rsdlite, once with EzSbf or on Linux with sbf_flash.

The first sbf MUST be done with rsdlite, as that is the only way to flash the older radio. You can flash either the 2.4.29 or 2.4.330 sbf, as the radio is unlockable on both of them.

You could then sbf the .608 with EzSbf, found at

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-global-hacks/170060-tool-ezsbf-d2g.html

There is also a root script included on that method.

EzSbf doesn't flash the updated radio, so it leaves the older unlockable radio intact.

You would then need to bootstrap recovery, and flash the unlock zip file mentioned at the first link I posted.

You would also need to take precautions so that your phone doesn't take the OTA update to .629, as this will both overwrite the radio, and make it to where you can't go back to an earlier version. It is still possible to band unlock for AT&T, but more difficult.

Hope this helps.
[Droid 2 Global General] wangshin248:
i use ezSBF but it's now work....i dont know why

are there any alternative method ???
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
You can do it without EzSbf following the instructions in the first link I posted.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8326-d2g-gingerbread-hack-for-us-band-unlockers/

In fact, for those instructions, EzSbf won't work at all, as it doesn't flash the required radio baseband.

If for some reason those instructions don't help either, not sure what to suggest.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[Droid 2 Global General] wangshin248:
I DID IT !!

and now my phone work on AT&T with 3G support

but i have only one problem about Wifi, it can search wifi available, but can not connect...just "obtaining Ip address"

????
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
That almost sounds like the problem that others have had when they have been in the process of recovering a phone bricked with the .629 update. However, it sounds like you haven't had the phone on .629, or you would have had other difficulties.

I think I have heard of maybe needing to wipe the data and cache to fix the wifi issue, but not sure if that would be the problem or not. Also, I might have heard mention of turning Airplane mode on and off.

Sorry I can't be more help on the issue, my D2G came with the .629 update, so I have no experience with the older radio on .608.
[Droid 2 Global General] wangshin248:
anyway thanks, and now i try again first step...hope and hope

TL DR

And how again is this related to support for the EVO LTE? Support means helping make the phone user's experience better, opinions don't do that. Another phone comparison thread...so much wasted space...sigh :(

Edit: I wanted to delete this but I will leave it here as a reminder of how stoopid I was...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
Right... LG already jumped on the 2GB bandwagon and I'm sure that if HTC included 2GB in the EVO LTE, you wouldn't complain either. 2GB of RAM is where the future is for Android devices. Smartphones were never just "cell-phones" so having that amount of RAM is only logical in the evolution of technology. If the Atrix had shipped with 2GB of ram, the webtop may have actually been usable and not just a piece of garbage. Now, next year, or the year after that when you make your next "cell-phone" purchase and it has 2GB of RAM, I will most definitely expect you to be eating your words, because not only will you welcome the addition, you will undoubtedly enjoy it as well. Just because Samsung did it doesn't mean you need to try and find a way to downplay it. It is a much needed addition on a bloated Android skin like Sense. That is all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
haha yeah I might of possibly realized that after pressing "submit reply" before "preview post"...I still think this will help convince at least one person on which phone they should choose as it takes a less bias approach and doesn't "technically" compare the two.

Also the Community pun should lighten things up a bit...haha

sorry if this isn't your ideal thread man, welcome to XDA ):
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
oh don't get me wrong, i'd love to have 2gb of ram (and surely wouldn't complain if we had it) but I just don't personally see how practical it is for current Android devices and the overall current state of Android. I feel pretty confident that we won't tap into the true potential of having 2gb or ram for at least another year or so. I figured Samsung just added it as a "plus" since they couldn't get their quad-core processors stateside.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
TBH, that is pretty future proof...I'm not sure if Samsung shot themselves in the foot with that or not. Between the S4 processor, the 720p screen, and the 2GB of ram, this is the first time where I don't see this phone being overshadowed by an upgrade in a year's time. Unless they make advancements in camera/software/battery tech, there is no reason why someone wouldn't keep this phone a full two years on contract without feeling 'phone envy"

You have to admit that the EVO LTE with Sense 4 could have greatly benefited from either more RAM or much better memory management by HTC. I'm learning towards more RAM though. How much better could you manage memory on a resource hog like Sense 4? Yes it's supposedly lighter and all that but no one has really stopped to think that maybe it's not Sense 4 that's less bloated--maybe it is Android 4.0 and the Snapdragon S4's ability to handle it better. I'm thinking it's more ICS and its hardware acceleration than Sense 4 being 'lighter', because even Sense 3.6 is insanely smooth on the EVO 3D on ICS and I'm positive that if HTC would have stuck with Sense 3.0 on ICS, it would have been every bit as smooth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
I've only had the phone for less than 24hrs so I can't really form much of an opinion on sense 4.0's performance just yet, but I suspect that any issues that may arise will most likely be due to software related bugs and not an inadequate amount of ram. Also hopefully in the coming weeks we get some optimized and de-bloated roms that make things run pretty freaking baby butt smooth. It might just be my personal bias, but I really do genuinely feel that 2gb of ram is overkill.

Having it is nice of course, but when looked at from a practical perspective just seems irrelevant. Also at the current rate of technology I really don't think there is anything Samsung of HTC could do to future proof their phones past a year, I mean the new Photon is reported to arrive then end of this year and it supposedly has the "new and improved" quad core snapdragon in it as well as 2gb of ram, and this supposed to be within 6 months....But who really knows, the future of technology has always been strange and unpredictable. I'm actually curious to see what Apple brings to the table and if they can somehow raise the standard..which is far fetch.

Edit:

Didn't realize it was you who replied, Freeza. I'm sure whatever rom you release is going to prove just how capable 1gb of ram can be (;
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
heres my take on it all ram can be nice... however outside of the dumb multi tasking they killed which has been fixed i believe on the one x... extra ram yeah its nice needed meh depends i suppose. now as far as future proof goes.

There are only so many more improvements these companies can make more storage space,more ram,camera,battery. and of course jump from dual core to quad core WITH built in radios.now space camera and battery are decent so far and dual to quad eh we will see when qualcomm breaks out theirs since we obviously wont see samsungs unless its on a tablet...

I want battery improvements some more camera maybe however this camera is pretty damn good space eh if we go total sd card less then need 32 gigs min. 1080p screen would be 100% pointless and i have a feeling next yr samoled+ hd perhaps which would make this phone "not as future proof" as we all know big diff between samoled and samoled +.
