Sorry to start a new thread on how to root my Htc Sensation xL. I have read the thread on how to root, however it still does not work.

I then tried to root using the superoneclick, but it says root failed.

I have rooted way back, I think it did work because SU did work and I was able to hack games using GameCIH, however it not longer worked when the new update for the Sensation Xl was given.

My Sensations Specs are:

Android version: Version 4.0.4

HTC Sense version: 3.6

If you need anything else, please tell me

I really would like help. :(
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
You need to use the updated root tool and flash in recovery from here... If you haven't got recovery, you will need to flash recovery first from fastboot, you can get the recovery here
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
uhhhh How do I do that? :o;)
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
Installation of recovery.

Use this recovery file.

Copy to sdcard and install via recovery.
[HTC Sensation XL] justin101:
Do I have to unlock bootloader?

Hello all,

I have some problems with my Defy+

I had a CM9 ROM, and I had some problems, then I installed the CM7 ROM and everything worked fine, then I found that my Internet is very very slow (almost not working) and I cant send an SMS.

I performed a full wipe, and installed a stock SPF file and then I reinstall the CM9 ROM, and again everything works great except the SMS, and the internet.

first I thought that maybe this is the SIM, but when I replaced this SIM with other, I received the same issues.

base band version: epu93_u_00_60_00

Kernel :

2.6.32.9

PLEASE HELP ME !!!
[Defy General] morfiux:
help ?

Sorry for the Bouncing but no one familiar with this issue, maybe a new Radio will help ?
[Defy General] hsrars-d:
I have had SMS issues on switching roms too, for me it helps that I remove the SIM card and perform a FULL wipe (/system too)

and flash rom.

Then I make the first boot without SIM and when I get to setup wizard, I shut down my defy an put the SIM card back in.
[Defy General] morfiux:
OK, thanks.

I will try to do this.
[Defy General] neo.ank:
What CM9 build are you using ?
[Defy General] morfiux:
I am using this ROM : http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/

but it also its happens with CM7 ROM that was before.
[Defy General] neo.ank:
See the thread below.. Its been answered there..

[ICS][CM9][HWA]Quarx Defy/Defy+ builds - GB and Froyo [Latest builds 16-07-2012]
[Defy General] Steveletack:
Stop using CM9

The project has stopped CM10 is what matters

CM10 is running better than CM9
[Defy General] morfiux:
So you said that the CM10 better than the CM9, is it have HWA ? and it is stable as the CM9,

and if so, can you please give me the link to the best build ?

thank you very much.
[Defy General] neo.ank:
CM10 is usable but its still buggy and waiting for a stable build.
[Defy General] morfiux:
thanks to all,

the problem was solved for me,

after destroying my device ... I manage to solve all the issue with the help of the XDA profs ...

so after all of this I installed the CM10, so far it working very good for me, and all the Internet and the SMS working great for me.

Thank you !

I'm trying to sync my Google contacts but always get the message: "sync is currently experiencing problems". A reboot doesn't help. I even reflashe the ROM (Checkrom 3.5) and that didn't help either. Can anyone suggest a fix?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I’ve just noticed that I’m also unable to sync contacts with my Samsung Account, so I’m guessing that the problem is on the phone rather than the server….
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
The issue seems to be related to the Go Contacts app. I found that if I deleted then re-added the Google account from my phone I could sync again, but as soon as I added a new contact in Go Contacts I got this error message again. If I add the contact using the stock Contacts app I don’t get the problem. Has anyone else had this issue with Go Contacts?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beirtipol:
Solved! (and I'm pretty sure it's for good this time)

So, I've been getting this problem for a while, I've called Google (It's a problem with the OS but Samsung should fix it), and Samsung(It's a problem with the OS but Google should fix it).......... I finally spotted someone alluding to an issue syncing groups in a previous post and someone here mentioned go contacts having issues so here's the process I followed to finally have it working again:

- If you use 'go contacts', use it to back up your contacts to a vcf which you can then import in to google

- Email that file to yourself as backup

- Turn off contact sync under your google account on your phone

- Go to manage applications and open the 'contacts database' app and clear all data.

- Do the same for 'go contacts' and the stock 'contacts' app

- Uninstall 'go contacts' (Probably not necessary but i wanted to start fresh)

- Open Gmail and go to 'contacts'. If you're confident that everything is in your phone's VCF, delete everything from your contacts.

- Import the vcf file in to google contacts.

- Here's the important bit: Delete ALL groups from your google contacts.

- Find and merge duplicates and make sure your contacts are all there. (I found that not all contacts were imported from the .vcf file)

- Install 'go contacts'

- Go to 'groups' and delete ALL groups from the 'go contacts' app.

- Turn on contacts account sync again.

I did this 2 days ago and (fingers crossed) my contact sync is working again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Daddy:
What if you're confident that both your phone's VCF and Google Contacts have new information? As a matter of fact, it's the case with me. I create new contacts with my phone for a newly received phone number, and I create new contacts with Gmail for a newly received email address. So, I simply can't just delete one set and replace it with the other. Any suggestions?

(Conceivably, I can import the phone's VCF to Google, and rely on Google's "Merge Contacts" function, but I'm a little reluctant because I don't exactly know what kind of algorithm Google uses to get rid of duplicates.)

This Contact sync issue seems to be affecting a lot of Android is users and has been a big disappointment for me. One more reason for me to marvel at iOS's seamless syncing.

Google sync issues

I was having the same issue and searched everywhere to find help. Came a cross a post (somewhere else... can't remember where) that said other apps could be affecting it. Thinking back to the most recent apps I have installed, and when the sync issue started, I deleted data and uninstalled Skype and my sync is working fine now.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chawbs:
I have finally found a 'reasonably simple' solution that came from suggestions in this thread :)

1. I have Go Contacts EX installed so I exported a copy of my contacts to a VCF on my SDcard.

2. Email VCF file to my Gmail account

3. Open Gmail on Web Browser on PC

4. Open the email - attachment is shown and Google gives a nice link to say "import contacts" based on the VCF :)

5. Press the link to import (assuming import and choose file will do same)

6. It may crash... but it has imported the contacts into a new group and may leave loads of duplicates...

7. Choose to "find and merge duplicates" (may need a few manual merges for those it does not catch)

8. Select all contacts and select to remove the "imported..." group that was created (if it crashed for you too)

Now you are left with Phone and Gmail that agree so sync works again.

Next time you edit a contact on your phone it may well stop working again - so do this now and again to keep in sync until everyone stops blaming each other for the issue...

Im still having issues with this...very annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sly.cooper:
I am having exact same issue however the device is Note II. I never had this issue with my 2+ years of Android usage (Motorola, Sony & HTC phones). This has started with Samsung Note II only. I have posted the same question in Note 2 section however did not get any reply so I am assuming that it is just me who is facing the issue :(. I don't have Go contacts. It is really annoying as it contacts are completely gone from phone. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attilab:
contacts doesn't sync

I believe it is not the hardware = Samsung,

it is not the OS, Im running Padawan 6.2 custom ROM

this was a problem years ago when I switch to gmail and the problems arrived how to translate and auto-sort the first name/last/name/title/address/phone number/and so on , from one platform to other

I am surprised how google (since they support the android) didn't standardized this in its own backyard....

i.e. uninstalled and installed back EX Contacts, cleared the data and still not synking, now when I need it, and not tomorow.

so, the workaround:

clear data in Contacts Storage (! will wipe what you had in the phone !), and sync it backwards, from google to phone, so whenever you got new email contact its there anyway, and type there the new phone numbers ....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attilab:
the stock address book updates well.......

I agree the stock address book looks cheap, but whatever I do with it, updates google address book....

I believe something to do with rows and columns how one is trying to send but the google doesn't know how to autosort, this why even when you import need to do manual work

just my 2c
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sly.cooper:
Update:

- I remove Google account from phone

- Via web -> Gmail -> Contacts, I removed all groups, merge duplicates. etc and synced

It worked fine for 2 days and same issue occurred again. I am so much frustrated with Note 2. I never had this issues with any of my earlier phone. Now my phone is with service center as they want to keep it for 2-3 days, use and observe.

I had the same problem with my AT&T Galaxy S3, after reading this post someone suggested that Skype was affecting this. I removed Skype and now Samsung account can sync.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjpjammer21:
This worked for me:

I have the Note II and had this problem too, I also had GoContacts EX and cleaned up, merged etc a lot of contacts. None of these suggestions worked for me to get sync working. Here's what I did: Backed up all contacts on phone. Removed all groups from phone and Google on my browser (not sure if this needed to be done but was suggested above. You probably won't need to I'm guessing.) (Exported VCF to my SD Card). Then emailed them to my gmail account, imported into my account using Gmail on my computer browser. Waited for it and after a while gmail asked if I wanted to merge. I said yes, then I deleted the group that Google automatically created for the imported contacts and the date they were imported. I also uninstalled Go contacts EX just to be safe.

After this I deleted my Google account off of my phone. Note that I have 2 gmail accounts, so my phone then switched to using the other gmail account. Then I added the normal account back to my phone and it synced fine after that. But I don't know how long it will work as I just did it a short while ago. Hopefully this helps someone though, because I know how frustrating this issue is. If you don't have two Gmail accounts I suppose you could create one temporarily just for this purpose. Good luck.

sgs3 with same issue - remove / re-add account worked for me

i have the sprint sgs3 with android 4.1 (jelly bean) and i had the same problem (sync is currently experiencing problems) until today. my contacts had not sync'd for over a month. no clue why. based on recommendations in this forum:

i disabled other applications (i.e. skype, facebook, yahoo, etc.) contact sync... no change.

i uninstalled skype... no change.

hence, i don't believe there is any need to do the above. what worked for me is...

i went to my pc's google contacts and exported my contacts to make sure that i had them saved off. then, i went to settings, google -> <my google account>, remove account, yes / ok, add account, add google account, etc. while attempting to sync contacts a window popped up asking me to update, i selected now, it rebooted / updated. again, a window popped up asking me to update, i selected now, it rebooted / updated. when it came back up, i verified that google contacts sync'd. the android version now reads 4.1.2.

i re-installed skype, re-enabled other applications contact sync... google contacts still sync. good luck!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igknight:
I have the Note II and am running CleanRom. Had not issues for a while, then this started to happen. Last sync with contacts was on /2/27/2013 at 7:35pm (today for those lazy to look at post date is 3/1/2013 8:08am).

When this happens, my contacts disappear from my contact button. Today however if I switched the Contacts to Display from my gmail account to All Contacts they are back, but this isn't always the case.

If I reboot its all good, but will come back either later that day, at night, or the next day.

I have deleted the data from Contact Database and Contacts, but all that did was make me have to set the ringtones back up for the people.

Tried the Contact Sync Fix from the Play Store, no go.

Contacts Sync Fix App

I spent months trolling the forums for a solution and found several complicated solutions. Then I came across this Contacts Sync Fix app.

This app fixed my problems instantly! Apparently it detected some broken contact items and fixed that. Ran it through all my android phones and everything finally sync with Gmail contacts!

Hope that this helps you guys too! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3ta:
Same here. That little app does wonders. I'm going to donate!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
Same here and I did donate and have the benefit of automatic fixes but in my case the problem keeps coming back, within minutes.

All of these fixes only work in the (very) short term.

I would gladly settle for a stand alone Contacts app, forgo syncing with my Google account and take responsibility for my own backups. But no such app exists - so far as I can tell having spent weeks on this problem.

I think we are in two camps, those who have no problem and those who have no solution.

What I have since done is to delete all of my Contacts on my Google account and then delete my Google account from the Samsung Tab.

Then I manually reconstructed my Contacts on my Google account.

I did all of this in case there were anomalies in the records. My contacts would have started life twenty years ago in Outlook And then were imported into Thunderbird email and then exported into Google so the scope for corruption exists. I figured it best to start afresh with a clean sheet.

Fortunately I don't have many active contacts in my Google account, the unused legacy records are stored elsewhere. So the whole exercise took about an hour.

I then created a new account on the Galaxy Tab and synced with the fresh clean Google Contacts. Twenty minutes later the Android Contacts disappeared.

In desperation I accessed Clockwork Mod Recovery and cleared Dalvik Cache. No joy there either.

So I am back to square one. Contacts Sync Fix reports errors and failures all the while.

Uninstalling WhatsApp made no difference. Clearing Data and Cache in Contacts, Contacts Storage likewise.

I am all out of ideas at this point.

I had the same problem of the first post of this thread. I read the first few posts, then I followed the instructions of the post and deleted Go Contacts and Skype at the same time and it was able to sync with my Google contacts again.

My phone is rooted but I have no custom ROM, no custom contacts app, no custom launcher, no Twitter, etc. It is stock phone and I got this same sync error. Download and ran Contacts Sync Fix and it found 2 problems, both in the ICE contacts (which is a new feature for me and which I had no contacts in). The error message said something about faked contacts in ICE.

Hope this helps. My contacts have finally synced and no error.

I have spent more time on this than is good for my sanity. Finally I have identified the cause of my problem :highfive: WhatsApp!

When I uninstall WhatsApp the problems disappear, when WhatsApp is installed again the problems come back. Pretty cut and dried really.

I have notified WhatsApp of the issue but they just fob me off, they say my smartphone is not a smartphone and so won't discuss anything.

I have moved my internet texting over to Text Plus, so far I have had no Contacts issues and furthermore it has all the makings of being a superior product to WhatsApp anyway.:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycats:
What is "WhatsApp"? I still have the problem, have cleaned up all my contacts, re-catagorized them, and still have that issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
It is an internet texting application that syncs with Contacts- clearly since you don't know what it is them it is unlikely to be installed.

Do you have any other app that uses your Contacts?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycats:
nope, just Phone for making calls, stock Messaging app. for texting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
That really is frustrating. You have done everything that I could suggest. My last option would be to reinstall the operating system and do a factory reset, clear cache, dalvik and data.

I have experience of three identical devices, all with the same issues, and the fresh install appeared to do the trick for each of them. Until I installed WhatsApp, that is.

I am still keeping an open mind and if I get more suggestions I shall post back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
Uninstalling WhatsApp had the expected effect of getting my Contacts working again. But the success was short lived and the problem has come back. While I still consider WhatsApp to be a culprit, it may not be the only culprit.

Using TWRP Recovery, I deleted Cache and Dalvik Cache but no difference. Then I deleted Data and Contacts is fine again.

I am slowly reinstalling my preferred apps and watching to see if anything else creates a problem. If I have any further observations I shall report them here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
I have found another culprit for our Contacts problem. If you are using this then best to Uninstall SMS Widget by Victor Milani. It definitely causes the issue. I shall raise the matter with the developer and see what he says.

That makes two apps that cause the problem. There may be more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycats:
Have never installed that..........still have the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebski:
With respect but you appear to be missing the salient common denominator. Both of these apps access and use Contacts in order to perform their function. The manner in which they manipulate Contacts would seem to be the cause of our problems.

It is possible that you may use some app that also accesses Contacts. Perhaps you might feel inclined to join in with the troubleshooting and contribute your findings?
