[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
Background: I noticed that Motorola Services was eating a bunch of my battery, so I froze it with TiBu. Blur account disappeared, taking with it my phone contacts (not Gmail or Corporate Sync).

- Thawed the program, still gone.

- Wiped cache, still gone.

- Used Mybackup Root to restore all of my contacts (Gmail, Corporate, Moto services), which involves overwriting the old ones: nope. The contact app doesn't see the phone contacts thru Moto Services because it doesn't see my blur account.

Funny story: Airdroid still sees the phone contacts. They're hiding somewhere. Just not showing up in the contacts app, and I can't seem to download the contact list to my computer.

Does anyone have any ideas before I do a factory reset? I don't flash new roms often for a reason: setting everything back up is a PAIN, dammit.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Contacts > menu > display options

Make sure groups are selected to be displayed by selecting accounts, e.g. Google to expand it and ensure there are checks in groups you want to show up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
Yeah, the problem is I've been storing phone contacts under my Blur account which is what went missing thanks to me screwing around. The only groups available to check are my Gmail and work email, both of which were added by me after the initial setup procedure (and don't have phone numbers associated).

I did some more searching and it looks like others ran into the same problem, which isn't fixed by "thawing" the app. And, it looks like the only solution involves a factory reset. Maybe I'll upgrade my rom version while I'm at it... ah well.

Can somebody make our camera to take a Snap when we press the power button, I'm looking for something like that for a long time but Can't find anything, and by any chance I want to use the original Camera just this mode nothing else.

Please if someone of the devs is capable of doing this I(and many others I guess) would appreciate it very much.

Just like a heads up the Camera version on i9100 on ICS is capable of doing this, but for some reason our devices don't have this option!

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j814wong:
Yeah sUsH667. Like that. By the way, your system looks amazing like that. When I mean advanced customization, I don't mean simply downloading a new launcher and finding a theme. The stuff you did with Android make it look entirely different from stock Android and in a good way. I want to do something like that on my device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
Launchers are a huge part of getting the customization that most users have. The default just doesn't have the same abilities, though because of Soft Keys and a few other things you can actually make a lot happen even with the stock version. A large part of it is also functional widgets that users have added.

Anyway have a look through this thread if you want to see how users do it. Most people give some kind of explanation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3236616#post3236616

[Motorola Droid RAZR] LSU:
Long story short, I ran the battery down while attempting to flash, and got to the point where battery was low. Pulled the cover off, charged through the terminals on the back and battery is now "OK." Now, the phone won't enter fastboot when plugged into a computer or unplugged. If I plug into the wall charger, it immediately tries to boot (and fails, sending to fastboot) and will let me hold the three buttons to enter fastboot on my own. If I unplug, everything goes black. Once unplugged, I can't do anything. I'm not even getting the screen flash when holding the volume down+power for a while. Same thing with the computer. I get the white LED, but no buttons have any effect. Obviously, I can't run the utility to revert back to 181 without it being in fastboot while plugged into the PC.

I'd appreciate any help with this.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
Don't do it because its going to take a while for us to get the new software (Jellybean). I'm going to give you a little advice that I learn the hard way. Only buy Google made phones like galaxy nexus. Never buy other parties like Samsung and HTC cause they never update phone and there's not a lot of development. For android only get Google specific manufacturer phone . I can't stress that enough

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
Reception is a tough one as it depends on so many factors. I live just a few miles from the nearest TMO tower and my job is only 15 miles away so I always have great reception. I'm currently running the Whitehawkx AOKP ROM and have no issues with audio, camera, GPS or battery. Audio is crystal clear on calls and through apps such as Pandora, HBOGo, etc. The camera is what it is, 8mp is capable of quite a bit and if you get a solid HDR app such as HDR Camer+ by Almalence, you'll really get to see the hardware used to its potential.

I don't use maps much so I can't comment a whole lot on GPS other than to say the few times I have needed it, it has worked flawlessly. The battery is of course dependent upon far too many factors that all come from personal usage tendencies but I can say from my experience I get between 15 and 20 hours of battery a day on a full charge.

I'd suggest just checking the phone out in store if possible to get a better feel of what you'd be getting. Yeah, the OS updates are few and far between, and could very well be over at this point, but with all the custom ROM choices and the abilities of the Devs here, I wouldn't be shocked to see more custom choices as we go along.

But I believe its coming back so I would wait for now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
There isn't a bright future for this phone. Most of the devs are moving away for greater phones. Our aokp dev doesn't have this phone anymore so it's not looking too good for aokp jellybean. I'd figure out a way for an s3 or wait for the nexus to come back (hopefully).

But if you must then this is a good phone with good Rom options at this point in time. Just don't be too hopeful about the future.

If you're looking for a really good phone but don't want to spend $600.00 then the S2 is for you IMO! I've enjoyed my S2 since I first bought it. I don't know how big you are on rooting, ROMs, and the like, but even if you don't root this phone is great! The only thing that might turn you off is the larger than average screen (the Galaxy S3 is even bigger, but thinner), in that case I would go with a Blaze.

I was used to using No Lock on my previous Android 2.3 phone:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock

Always worked flawlessly.

On my SGS III however there is an annoying side effect.

I tried it with a Pattern Lock and also a PIN lock.

With one of these active, and then telling No Lock to disable the lock, I can succesfully turn the screen back on without going through the lock. Great for car or desk use.

However as soon as I then select something from the Notifications pulldown, the Pattern or PIN lock suddenly pops up! It is like it was already running in the background, and then became activated or something.

I tried various alternative apps, such as Impel (with a script), No Lock Screen (with Only when charging), Auto Unlock Trial Edition... but all exhibited the same problem. Some would even change the Home button into a 'Show The Lock Screen" button... even worse!

I wonder if this is specific for Samsung, or SGS III, or ICS.

So, has anybody got a clue... or a fix?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
I think it's an ICS thing... I've been using Delayed Lock for over a year and IIRC when ICS came out, this problem was present, however it was fixed by the dev. The other thing is that for DL to work on ICS using an unlock pattern, it needs to go in the system/apps but didn't need to on GB.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
Movistar in Spain uses GSM, not CDMA, but the bands are not the same for 3G, that'e your problem. You won't get 3G on Europe, only in the US with AT&T, Canada with almost any carrier, and any country from Mexico to Argentina.

Maybe in Australia/India you can have 3G, I don't know, but there are some members with a Glide from India, they can answer this better than me.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
I think I may have good news for you, check this:

http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=27

There's a good chance you have to set the APN settings manually, the above link shows you how to do this. These are the settings that tell your phone how to get onto the data network, if those are not already in the phone or set automatically. Give it a try, your problem has occurred more often and this was the solution!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Setting the APN manually should get internet working, but since the phone doesn't support the bands needed for 3G in Spain, that won't solve the 2G only problem. Still, working 2G data should make it at least fairly usable until you acquire a phone that supports your local bands.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
Perhaps not in Spain then, but it works elsewhere in Europe. I live in The Netherlands and I get 3G. Haven't looked into the frequency bands, but it all works perfectly here. There are several other European users here, and I've never read anything about not having 3G because of frequency band issues.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Felixsanz:
that was awesom man I did exactly what you told me and the 3g started working right away! I wish I could hit the thanks button more than once!

The US-versions have another device ID, so they are pretty easy to tell apart.

Settings->About device->Model number will tell you what model you got, this forum is about the GT-I9300 (with or without 'T' suffix)

Hardwarewise the international and the US-version are vastly different so flashing one's ROM on the other will (soft)brick the device and potentially cause harm.

Hi,

I've recently got my HTC One X. It's the non 4G version with four cores, I purchesed it from allphones in australia.

One of the main reasons I got this phone was to help me study japanese, which I use Ankidroid for.

Anyway my main issue is that japanese charactors (Kanji) are appearing as their chinese varients.

I think it's some sort of failed attempt at this: "Google "Han Unification" and click wikipedia as I can't post links"

For example: 直 looks like 直

骨looks like 骨

It's really annoying and completly funked out. Presumably it works for japanese users of this phone? I'm using muliling with the japanese plugin for IME.

I'm a bit worried about rooting in case the Wi-Fi Antenna falls off or something and I can't return it under warently. It's serial number starts with HT24KW12....

I am interested in rooting though if this wasn't an issue.

Thank you for anyone that can give me any help, this is very frustrating and I can't seems to find any information that will help me, despite my searches.
