Your best bet would be to go to contact setting and choose who you want your contacts to be displayed from. By default on ice cold all contacts will be displayed whether from facebook or gmail. I dont display any from vcard and I use fsync from market to link gmail contacts to facebook contacts. Give that a shot its free from play store then just set to display gmail contacts go to customize and make sure all boxes are checked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
You can do that in gmail as well. I think it works better than any other commercial software out there.

As soon as I got my nexus I rooted it.

I then downloaded the 4.1.1 upgrade and installed it with cwm.

I am being prompted to install 4.1.1 overand over again even though it is already installed.

How do I get it to stop prompting.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
On my Samsung Gingerbread /Touchwiz Galaxy Phone long touch of the home button brings up recent applications with a task killer button that lists running apps with an exit button each.

The recent apps button on the Nexus doesn't seem to lead to a kill option.

I guess I could go to settings/apps/running and select an app and pick the stop from its page, but thats a lot more complicated.

Is there an easier way?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowanparker:
Press the right button (looks like two windows) then swipe to kill :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
Thanks, I had the right button, but I was trying to kill with a long press instead of a swipe. I thought kill/delete with Swipes was an Apple thing, while Android used long press.

Maybe Apple will sue :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneydroid:
Nah, in the iPod touch and iPad it's long press which brings up close buttons
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
According to the manual the only way to kill a task is in the settings / apps section. "Force Stop"

Swiping away the "recent apps" simply removes it from "recent apps"

Jellybean manages apps / memory automatically. You should never be short on memory.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonebear:
Yea, that isn't killing an app.

You don't need to kill apps as a matter of routine although people always seem to think so. Sometimes it is necessary if the app is behaving badly and there a lots of task-killers available that will do that.

I like "system panel" as it has other uses too.

The "recent apps" button is supposed to be there for your convenience so you can easily go from one app to another, if you are swiping them away you are just nullifying the point of the button.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
Actually swiping away from the recent apps does indeed kill the app. You can verify the behavior on apps by swiping them away and opening them again. They will load from the beginning instead of where you left off.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonebear:
ok thanks, didn't know that. I think some of the other stuff I said is still kinda valid tho. :) There is no real need to kill apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
I would hardly call that proof. It could simply be a signal to refresh instead of "pick up where you left off". After all, if you swipe it away you dont really have an urgent need to go right "back where you left off".
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
The proof is already out there. I just simplified it. There was a huge debate about it when the Gnex came out and I believe a Googler posted about it on Google+ as well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Don't most people put a task manager widget (Application Manager) on their home screens anyway for this so you can quit all active apps and clear your RAM? It was a standard app on my Samsung Captivate Glide, and I keep it next to my battery widget so maybe between the two I can make the battery last more than 8 hours.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunder9111:
is there a way to delete all the runnings apps at once? It's tiring to swipe them out one by one..

sometimes after a long use you have more than 10 apps running, it would be easier if i can simply swipe them all out with one button
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Again, that's why I like my App Manager widget, you have the option to kill everything in one click (at least until I get the ics update, then it's two clicks for that damn confirmation screen).

-Ara
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
I've always heard it likened to the backing out of an app with the back button. If I go into G+, go into a room in messenger and skip to home, I can resume the app right where I left off (provided it's soon, hasn't been killed). But if I exit home, swipe the app out, it acts as if I've closed it but it's kept in memory. If I do the same but long press the app in the recent apps list, go to app info and kill the app, then it is forced out of memory. It's essentially killing the app. A good example is a music app; the app continues to play when you've backed out of the app via the back button, even when you swipe the app away as it is still in use. Force stopping the app has a definite result.

Guess it is time for the obligatory "why you shouldn't don't need to use a task killer" with Android. This is an old article, but this was true then and is even more so now. Killing all apps isn't necessary and can have negative effects. :)

-edit-

Probably should have linked the mentioned article;

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
There's no need for task killers. This has been confirmed over and over, even by Google. That's why they made them stop working in Froyo I believe'
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Well, actually i use Cool Tool to monitor my available ram, and when I swipe away apps from the recent apps view, i free up lots of ram.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunder9111:
It works, but it ruins the the running tasks page. After you killed everything, bring up the running apps, and they are all still there. It doesn't get rid of the apps there, so that's still annoying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikidera:
So, I was running ICS 4.0.3 when I wanted to flash a different kernel, but I failed and softbricked the phone.

So I followed the guides here and got it fixed, however since then or perhaps even prior to the brick I've been experiencing total system freezes.

For instance I am browsing the internet via Chrome or chatting on IRC via AndChat and all of a sudden the app would freeze and pressing the Home button doesn't do anything, but the Notification Bar is working untill I press an item in which case it also freezes and I have to reboot by popping out the battery.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCP90:
couldnt piost in the development section because I dont have enough posts

I am having issues on a 2.3.4 G2

was using Strawmetal's guide to downgrade to 2.2 and root

got stuck at "fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip

it errors out with "failed data transfer failed (too many links)

I tried it a few times and got the same thing (3 different computers, all running win 7 64 bit, if it matters, and 3 different USB cords: a motorola one, the HTC one from the G2, and the Tmobile/HTC one from my MyTouch 4G)

the g2 would only show the grey HTC logo screen with the triangle/exclamation in each corner and the phone would reboot itself intermittently (fastboot would work)

so i ran "fastboot OEM boot" and It also fails with the same error but I get the white screen with green HTC.(adb works)

- Holding vol dwn while powering on only takes me to the grey HTC screen

- ive tried restarting the process so i could run "misc_version .4" but fre3vo doesnt find the exploit anymore (stops at region fffe9000 and then goes back to "$")

-occasionally the grey screen switches to the white bootloader screen and the only option is "RUU"

this isn't my first time rooting a phone so I'm not a total noob and can follow instructions, I dont know what went wrong. please assist. hopefully the phone is not completely bricked.

I searched and didnt find my specific problem.

If you don't want that, you can also clear the data for Play Store, Google Services Framework, etc. But that can have side effects, especially on Gmail and Google Now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
it has 4G but yeah it isn't stable. Also if your going to flash one, go to the backup thread in the dev section for your IMEI and do that first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Yeah I remember seeing that. That's why I am scared to root lol seems more complicated then HTC devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
nah, not really. Just different. Just with samsung keep in mind that odin is king.

also being newer to samsung, just read before you flash stuff.

I am amazed at the amount of people here that do not read and do things willy nilly and next thing you know they are crying because they cannot figure out how to fix their phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrmccain9:
In my opinion I would stay on a stock or custom stock ROM. I just finished about 2 days of headache due to my IMEI going to 0 after using CM9. I will say that I've used CM10 and CM9. CM10 was glitchy, while CM9 was flawless from what I could tell right up until it all went wrong with my IMEI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisimo:
I am running cm10 as my daily driver, but it's not without its frustrations. For me, 4G data has been flawless. It's when the phone kicks over to 3G that data problem occur. Specifically, 3G data has erratic signal, periodic loss of connection, and general instability. However, when I'm in a 4G area, data is rock solid.

MMS is still an issue, as well as Bluetooth audio. But all in all, it runs great for a preview build. There haven't been any breakthroughs recently, so who knows how long it'll be before 3G data is stable. I'm thinking about returning to a stock rom for now just because I really need BT audio and will be going on a trip where I only get 3G.

What is the general feeling about which stock rom is most stable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
ya know, if you had done the EFS backup provided in the dev section, which has been available for almost a week now, you wouldn't have had a 2 day headache?

you would have written the EFS backup to the phone and been back where you started...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mwep:
I have a question about restoring EFS and since I cant post in the dev forum yet, I will ask here...

How do you restore if you are using a windows machine and not linux. From my limited understanding, it seems as the commands in the various howto guides all pertain to Linux while some give commands to restore via Terminal Emulator on the phone. But what if Terminal Emulator is not installed... How do you install Terminal Emulator on a device with no IMEI ? Can a device with no IMEI still connect to market with WIFI ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
you can do it with windows, you can do it one of two ways

one is using the sdk toolkit and using adb.

the other way is copying your backup file to your phone and running the command through terminal emulator.

Yes wifi will still work with no IMEI allowing you to connect to the market and download a terminal emulator.

when he says linux, he means the command comes from the linux OS, but also because android of based off linux which is why it is used/works. He doesn't mean you have to run linux itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrmccain9:
I read up on everything before taking the plunge with an AOSP ROM so I actually did back up my ESF data. The problem is that the method for restoring it does not work for an IMEI of 0. And yes I did try it anyway but what really fixed my problem was re provisioning the phone then using the method of IMEI restoring using QPST.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
Welcome to the dark side of Samsung! :p

Nah really it's not all that bad. Things are just done a bit differently and if you haven't gotten your SDK setup and Odin 3.7 installed then I recommend you do so. It's like having the PH98IMG.zip file for the Rezound. Gets you back to stock in case sh** happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I still have sdk from rezound although I assume I need a different version. Is Odin needed even if you goto use the non flashing root process ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
If you already had it setup for the Rezzy then you should be fine. Odin is needed if you ever want to return to stock..you know in case something goes wrong. You never know when you may need it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
There is no reason NOT to use Odin, it is simple to use, pretty much foolproof & you don't even need to install it.

All you do is DL the files to a folder in your PC & then click the .exe file.

You don't need the latest version either, I still had Odin from back when I was flashing a Droid Charge & that same version works perfectly for the G3.
