[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Don't have that option. And i have one more problem. How do i sync all my Facebook contacts. When i was on gb and installed Facebook, the first screen would all if i wanted to sync all my contacts, sync with existing contracts, or don't sync at all. But now i don't see and can't find that screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eb13:
This works well for syncing fb contacts. You can choose all contacts or existing in the settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Open app drawer select People, then menu contacts to display, customize. Select your facebook account and it will show a box for all contacts if that isnt checked then it is only syncing with existing contacts. If you select your gmail account you will have the option to sync all the groups individually.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
It says no contacts. There's no way to get to that screen on the Facebook app that asks how youwant to sync the contracts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Clear all data log out and uninstall the app. Reboot your phone re-install the app. If that doesnt bring the option up then its go forever.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] justcallmeb:
Maybe?

Found this. I haven't tried it since I'm at work doing a 24 hr shift. Figured I would let people know what I found. I plan to give a try after I get some sleep. If anyone gives it a go could you please let us know how it goes?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] phegro:
Ive been hearing that there are a lot of issues with the SGS3; some as farfetched as it catching on fire while its charging. Just wanted to know if you ladies and gentleman have had any issues at all with your device? Thanks~
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jabailey1:
No issues whatsoever. I'm very happy with the phone... and It'll only get better once development takes off.

The catching fire thing has been highly exaggerated in my opinion. I've only seen 1 report, and that was a slightly melted case by the charging/USB port.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] howlingmoon12:
Issues, nah I couldn't be any less happier with this phone. thought their choice of MTP and not mass storage irks me to no end.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TitaniumBarbell:
No issues, except the brightness of the screen is too weak.

The phone is extremely great!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] phegro:
Love you guys. Thanks. I'm sticking with my Galaxy Nexus but the S3 is going to be a gift for my brother.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
All phones catch on fire. Mine does at least twice a day, I don't see the problem.

As for the ONE phone that melted, pretty much everything points to a 3rd party charger and car dock.
[Thunderbolt General] mrcookjr:
Is it me or does the Thunderbolt feel completely abandoned by developers?
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
Yep no jellybean for us yet. JB makes ics seem as slow as am ibm pcjr. We should demand HTC give us JB instead of ics
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.
[Thunderbolt General] geoff5093:
While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.
[Thunderbolt General] Neverendingxsin:
Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.
[Thunderbolt General] trter10:
I'm still here! :D
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.
[Thunderbolt General] entitled:
Sounds more like people just using us and then throwing us away when the next hot thing comes out...
[Thunderbolt General] bond32:
Let me tell you the gnex didn't do much for me. Should have never gotten rid of my thunderbolt.

[Thunderbolt General] BlueCross:
The Thunderbolt is dead; it has been for awhile. I can't wait for my GS3! Verizon needs to ship those babies soon!
[Thunderbolt General] wyattn:
It's not dead for me yet. Still waiting for the end of July / August for HTC to actually produce something. There's been beta testing supposedly but no leak.
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.

I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.

I dont believe we'll ever see an official release of JB for our phones.
[Thunderbolt General] silver03wrx:
im building a rom off of cm7 now . RomZombie.
[Thunderbolt General] teddyastuffed:
Kinda gotta blame HTC tho, cuz a leak is just as good to me as Verizon's "official" release. Its the ril that is necessary, u get that n the rest is history -_-
[Thunderbolt General] silver03wrx:
is the thunderbolt even supposed to get official ics?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yea supposedly this month or next.
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.
[Thunderbolt General] htcdemand:
That and point really at Google for.this messed up veal they allow which is so stupid. We need to stop overlays on android and have the same user experence as any other device a unified way. On touch six.you select wick widget it brings up any available wick if one is not already selected on sense and stock that does not happen. Not a great user way here.
[Thunderbolt General] bond32:
Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
Not sure if you're talking to me, but I did sell my Thunderbolt for a Bionic.a while ago and have been using ICS on it for a few weeks now. The Thunderbolt should have at least been a dual core Snapdragon for as long as it took to finally get released. The Incredible 2 was more powerful, so was the Atrix, even the original Galaxy S series were better phones. People really shouldn't ***** about slow development anyway, after all only ICS is on less than 11% of all Android devices, and the Bolt came out 16 months ago.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
The incredible 2 isn't more powerful than the thunderbolt. They are identical with the exception of the screen size and the dinc2 doesn't have 4g. I owned one for a few months and it's not getting ics until after august probably (they did get an ics leak from china though)
[Thunderbolt General] rodawg71:
"2" :beer:
[Thunderbolt General] stanlalee:
Please name the dual core phone that were out before the thunderbolt?

Driod X2, droid 3, galaxy s2 all came out after the TB. Optimus 2x was the first dual core phone and the ONLY one out before the TB. Fact is the TB was right up there with the flagships of the time ( however short it was) and for a LONG time after dual cores came out the choice was dual core OR 4G LTE ( the bionic was the first to have both and took FOREVER to come out). Fact is technology for smartphones went on whirlwind speed shortly after the TB. It's still not slow and does everything most need it to do. Get a tablet and u won't care how dated it is lol ( evere i got a asus transformer i could care less about owning the latest phone because i use the phone as a phone and tethering device now).
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
Motorola Atrix, and the X2 only came out 6 days after the Bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] zx12dak:
Droid 2 was not LTE and it was a turd.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
One of the reasons the thunderbolt took so long to be released is because it has svdo which no other verizon phone has. That is also why we have issues with our data at times.
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
That shouldn't be an issue, and the Rezound also is SVDO.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Oh yea I forgot about that one.
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
Sorry, strike my last comment.....edited
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
The issue is most likely HTC doesn't care to spend the time forward porting their hacked up RIL for LTE to ICS for the only device that uses it. Every other device since was at least developed with the Google specifications/standards for LTE in mind as they came out near or after ICS. GB had no guidelines for LTE when the TB came out. If you try to pull any signal data off the device for LTE on the TB, you will get nada. Rezound on Gingerbread shows a fair amount however and more on ICS.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
The rezound has svdo also so it's ril is similar in design to the thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Not really. If you decompile the code for each, they're vastly different software wise despite being the same hardware for the modems. One was made long before Google made a standard LTE RIL interface (TB) and one was made much more near it (Rezound). The S3 has a much more similar RIL to the Rezound than the Rezound has to the Thunderbolt. Reason? Because both were made near the completion of ICS or after it came out. That despite all 3 having Qualcomm modems and the S3 being the next generation Qualcomm SoC Modems.

RIL for the TB is a hacked up mess that was more a prototype LTE device than one that would become a model for those that came after.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
The thunderbolt did introduce verizon to simultaneous voice and data. It is before they came up with volte which is what they are trying to do in the newer phones because it requires only one radio. Svdo is better in a way because even on a 3g signal voice and data will still work.
[Thunderbolt General] TheBeardedMann:
What are you doing with your phone that you need dual or quad core? If its just to have the latest and greatest I completely understand that. I want HDMI mirror mode over nearly everything. NFC would be sweet too. With custom ROMs and kernels and OCing my phone is plenty fast.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yep. Dual and quad core is made for multi tasking is made for multitasking that just isn't possible on a phone. It's not like you can have multiple windows up at the same time like a desktop and in each of those windows have something going. Whenever Google finds a way to truly multitask in Android I can see the need. There was talk from the guys over at Linux about dual booting Linux with dual core phones running gingerbread. I don't know if that is still in the works or not.
[Thunderbolt General] tsnstuff:
You want to see a Forgotten phone, try the Droid Charge! lol
[Thunderbolt General] Grand Prix:
I don't know where you got your information about the rezound but that was a fantastic phone. Dual core processor, hd screen with the most pixels per inch at the time, amazing camera. It was downplayed with Verizon and that's why it has the stigma it does. If someone offered me one I'd take it.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I'm not trashing dual core phones. I just don't think at this time they are necessary. I want a rezound honestly lol. I'm fine with the thunderbolt right now though.
[Thunderbolt General] swieder711:
I am still very happy with the Tbold running Bamf Forever 1.11. At some point I expect it will be upgraded to ICS.

One of the most compelling reasons for why I got the Tbolt was its ability to do simultaneous voice and data on 3G and 4G.

Do other Vz phone offer this now?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
The rezound does it too.
[Thunderbolt General] Dannar:
Reading this thread is really enlightening about people's (lack of) short term memories.

Dual core phones were on the horizon yet when the TB rolled around. The bionic was supposed to launch around the same time, but was held back for quite awhile. There were even rumors that they would just drop it and move on. It never had the specs to really blow anything, much less the TB, out of the water. Oh, and lollockedbootloader.

For those of you that pay attention to how these things are built, it appears to be hard to cram the LTE antenna in with umpteen million cores. This is why the TB was limited to single core, and why it took the bionic so long to have both. Look at the SGS2 skyrocket. It's a gs2 with LTE antenna, but without the quad. Same principle folks.

The rezound is nice, but it came waaay after the TB, and is almost like its successor. Lol at the people who point out rezound specs when being critical of the bolt. It's like me talkin' smack on my family's gateway PC from 1999 because it doesn't have a quad like my current one does.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
I've looked at the Rezound but, silly as it seems, I've become used to the kickstand and I use it! If I got a Rezound I'd need to get a kickstand case and then a larger belt holster to fit the larger case and then...... so I'll save my money and stick with the T'bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
Well, there's a reason why the Rezound was deemed as the Thunderbolt 2 originally and also good reason why it was renamed as well.

1.) They knew the Thunderbolt was a little behind the times by the time they got it out the door, which they continue trying to fix some small wrinkles to this day.

(fine, devs have made most issues go away)

2.) Easier then making that device function as they intended, they released a new revision of it: The HTC Rezound(Tbolt 2)

3.) They knew with the shortcomings and delay of the Thunderbolt, it would have likely been a huge ordeal if the Thunderbolt 2(Thunderbolt HD) came out that shortly after the Thunderbolt original. Not to mention the name may have turned away anyone that had bad feelings about the Thunderbolt launch.

Anyway, I guess my point is that the Rezound was originally intended as a replacement for the Thunderbolt, so that they could phase it out that much faster, having a similar device to fill the void.

But all of this is based on my readings and opinions and am just sharing my point of view on it.

I wouldn't sacrifice my Bolt for a Rezound, much the same as I won't pay full retail for the Inc 4G LTE(VZW gimped HTC One wanna-be) or lose my Unlimited over it at a discount.

They(VZW) keep shooting HTC in the foot....way to go Big Red.

I sure hope the One XXL does come to Verizon(as rumored), as that's the only device I have heard any word about, that sounds worthy of my money for full retail price in the near future.

Sorry for the long read... 0_0
[Thunderbolt General] Nooter:
I'm not too happy with my TBolt, but I knew what I was getting into. I wanted to get a 4G phone while unlimited 4G was still an option, and the TBolt launched with unlimited 4G hotspot. I had an inkling that the hotspot would be disabled through a future update, which is why I've never updated!

Free, legal, unrooted, unlimited 4G hotspot is the way to go. Plus, at less than 10GB/month, I'm fully within Big Red's ToS.

It's disappointing that we don't yet have ICS. If we get it by the end of the year, I'll be able to keep my phone for a while longer. If not, eBay!
[Thunderbolt General] Az Biker:
TB not forgotten

RootzWiki has a dev or two still putting out new stuff for our TBs. Might be worth a look if you're feeling a bit forgotten.
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
I doubt it's HTC's fault. In fact, they've probably had ICS for the Thunderbolt for longer than most of you think.

Verizon guys, it's Verizon that makes great phones like the Galaxy S III and Droid X have locked bootloaders, it's Verizon that just has to middleman Android OTAs and inject a three servings of crapware, and heck, Carrier IQ at this point. No but if that rumor of Verizon kicking us all off of Unlimited Data around April 2013 is true (and no, I didn't just make this up, it's over at one of these other threads here in Thunderbolt, man I forget...) then I'll flock to Sprint or prepaid so fast the rep won't have time to "interest" me in a Droid Locked Bootloader .

Anyway, example- remember the Droid X Gingerbread update, the Thunderbolt GB update, they leaked MONTHS before Verizon OTA'd 'em.
[Thunderbolt General] zx12dak:
There is no way I would go back to Sprint. What a joke to sell LTE phones with zero or one cities with LTE! I will go back to US Cellular first. At least they had great customer service and is deploying LTE at a quick rate.
[Thunderbolt General] theredspecial:
Sorry guys.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-update-roll-out-odds-are-slim/
[Thunderbolt General] armada786:
Odds are slim != no chance at all

Stop being doom and gloom and at least wait for VZW to say that they aren't pushing anything.

As for devs, liquid dropped support from the bolt. So unless he publishes the source for his RIL and/or we get another dev willing to help us, unless VZW does push ICS we probably won't ever see anything new for the Bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
You've been on MR1 since you got your Thunderbolt? That's insane! Root and use something like Barnacle on Gingerbread at least...If memory serves, Gingerbread came after the July 2011 update that took our unlimited, free hotspot away...

Anyway, I recommend an admin or mod closes this thread immediately, I'm getting sick of the uneducated going on about how they don't think we're not getting ICS. By uneducated, I mean you guys aren't keeping up with the 50 other threads about ICS coming/not coming to the Thunderbolt. One of them said word on the street is something is coming for Thunderbolt owners next week, which is just about this week, so imagine all this nega-ICS talk going on to the minute ICS leaks, and for several hours thereafter as word spreads.

HTC said July-August, it isn't even August yet. Not to mention Verizon usually makes the updates tardy a month or two- actually if I recall correctly, Gingerbread was supposed to come in May 2011 and we didn't get it until what, August, September?

I'm just saying, give it a rest guys, all the arguments have been made for and against the why or why not for ICS coming to the Thunderbolt. Everything has been said at least once. Including my take- relax because HTC said we would get it, the Thunderbolt is NOT the same as the Desire HD, and even if Verizon says no, which I don't think will happen, there

will

be a leak.
[Nexus 7 General] mojo4321:
The guide book can be found at the link below.

https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=gKmQD47OvCYC

Some pretty good info inside. On pages 67-69 it talks about connecting USB keyboards, mice and other devices. It states that if connecting more than one device you should use a powered hub to reduce power drain on your tablet. I am holding out hope for OTG USB memory support although there is no mention of it.
[Nexus 7 General] Brigaid:
I love that parts of the guidebook are unfinished. Pages 24-25 have several unimportant sections that just read Content to come. Real classy, Google. (Not that I care, I can't wait for my tablet to arrive!)

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

The main thing is that it allows you to hook up these devices without a powered hub, which means we have power. Even if it does have some sort of hangup with storage, I doubt it'll be more than a week or two before that gets modded.

Long story short, it looks like we have the hardware that we need for Host/OTG!

I recently got Camera Zoom FX on my phone and there is the option to take pictures with the Volume Key. The problem is when I press it, it makes the ding noise from when you lower or raise the Notification Volume. Is there a file to delete so I won't have the sound anymore. I have my HTC Sensation rooted.

Try this!

I believe if you download root browser... You can open system->media->audio->UI and there should be a a file in there that youre looking for... I think volumeincremental.ogg. Delete this file. It should stop the sound when you press the volume keys.

[XPERIA X8 General] RaDiS234:
Hello XDA World!!

Google I/O 2012 started and we know about new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean almost everything, but let see. The new Android version is FASTER, MORE STABLE, MORE BEATIFUL. What does it mean ?? That means NO brand new Android like 4.0, just some improvements and new features but its have new Tripple Buffering (Rendering speed is 60 frames per second) feature and system is lighter and faster so my opinion is that maybe in the future, about 6 months, we can get this version on our X8. I think that this Android looks pretty good and the new features are awesome. First OTA Update will be next month (Galaxy S & Galaxy Nexus) so nAa will get this version of Android and brings us new experience to our lovely Smarthphones.

If you know something hot about Android 4.1 Jelly Bean share it with us.

Sorry for my English :D
