Help!

I imported too much contacts from backups and now I have about 30k in my phonebook!!

Many apps using phonebook like whatsapp are FC when searchig a name now.

I tried to delete all contacts and import just one backup but delete process is take ages :eek:

Do you have any tips on how I can delete all my contacts in less than 10 mins?
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Manage app - people/contact - delete data.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Considering your using a backup, im guessing theres a reason. Have you just installed a ROM, or Reset?

If so, I'd factory reset, then try to import the one backup like you mentioned.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
I used the free app ''contacts remover'',select all and delete...it took me 1 hour and 40% battery but now I am good again :good:

It's weird how a quad core cpu can be slow to delete contacts,perhaps it's the memory hardware that's slow
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
TO be fair, deleting 30,000 contacts is a heck of a job.

Put them on yourPC and see how long that takes to delete 30,000 things.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
30000 is nothing for a computer, unfortunately, many software developers are a bit ****, so the software is probably trying to do 30k writes to flash, which could easily be very slow on many types of flash memory.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
It would still take the PC a while to delete 30,000 contacts so just give your device a little leway.

BenPope, your always darking me ! :D

(Ill Manors Reference)
[HTC One X] colinmc8:

[HTC One X] BenPope:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
I have a Xperia Pro on fido running xperia ultimate HD (stock kernal)

Sony's official boot loader unlock said that I can't unlock my boot loader.

SE1 Tool does not work.

Allendrissemo (sorry of I can't spell) told me that my phone hardware is too updated (12W24) and it cannot be unlocked.

Now for my pled...

Is there a way to unlock my boot loader? I want to install CM9 but it comes with a custom kernal. And for that I need am unlocked bootloader. If you have a CM9 with a stock kernal, would it work? Or if I have the stock kernal then can I flash that after flashing CM9 and would it work? But I can't flash .img files cause I don't have fast boot.

That is all. Thanks.

I would appreciate any help.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machoman1337:
I was in your situation 6 months ago and I just went back to Fido and exchanged the phone within 2 weeks of purchase (using an LG Optimus 2X now that actually has an unlocked bootloader). Like you, I also tried to get Alejandrissimo to unlock my bootloader - didn't work!

Currently, only stock-based custom ROMs can be flashed on a locked bootloader. This applies to all brands, not just Sony.

Even SIM unlocking is in doubt here - I personally couldn't SIM unlock my Xperia via a purchased code (the site cellunlocker.net has never failed me before, except on this one Xperia model). The new security MCUs after 12w14 are tight bastards. Other users were successful with SIM unlock via code, but that did absolutely nothing to allow unlocking of the bootloader.

moral of the story: no matter what country you live in, never get a carrier branded Sony handset! If you really must have a Sony model, the only way to guarantee an unlockable bootloader is to get the stock, unbranded, unlocked model which is expensive.

In other words, if you gotta get a carrier subsidy, avoid Sony. Otherwise, Sony is great at supporting this kind of stuff, too bad most users can't enjoy it due to stupid carriers.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:
All Buttons work fine

Can access Download mode(vol. down + middle + power button)

can access Emergency Download mode

Had issue with connecting to pc via USB , but connect using bluetooth to laptop, wifi and all working fine....

Had CWM recovery v5 installed via Odin and can flash back and forth through diff roms...

Later i extracted the image of Amon ra recovery and flashed it with the help of Recovey Flasher Utility..that recovery worked flawlessly

then i thought to flash new version of cwm whose version was 6.0.2.7,,flashed with same app...wiped data,flashed rom but it would boot into the recovery , not load the new custom rom....

I asked few members to provide me with the link where i can find CWM flashable zip file( not with odin) which can be flashed with recovery to install new recovery.they promptly replied by saying to search OD threads of Galaxy Fit..

I searched them all,, and i could only find .tar files for eg: beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2.tar and Amon-RA for FIT.tar

I want CWM flashable .ZIP file so that i can remove the current recovery

If my demands were wrong please suggest me..

I found flashable zip for gio " recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxygio" , recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.-tass and so on....

Please give me appropriate link which has the zip file containing recovery i want

I cannot use odin... PLease help, i can donate , i dont want to pay any service centerwallahs..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
You cannot flash cwm5/cwm4 thorugh recovery.

Only odin can do that.

whats the problem with your odin anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:
The problem is nor the computer or the laptop are willing to detect my device( also buied new samsung data cable) ....so the odin......

now i am stuck at recovery...After some searching i think maybe its time to make a jig and tryout(today).....

I cannot remain without mobile for long...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:
Did i brick(soft/hard)??????
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
Jig will be of no use for you because your phone is not soft/hard bricked

Just find a pc that connects with your phone..(goto cyber cafe,sometimes these guys are in a friendly mood too :p )

even service center guys or mobile shop will do that in less cost than the jig...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Dark Passenger:
download the recovery from cwm 6 thread it works perfectly and is a flashable zip.

that should fix your boot problem now if you want a different recovery extract the recovery.img file from the given package say the tar file and repack the recovery.Img with the meta-inf from the cwm 6 zip Viola you got your own flashable recovery and yes it will flash properly no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:
thanks a lot ... i will give it a try:D:D

gave to mobile repairing shop ... yesterday he changed the charging port(on motherboard) still he is unable to connect to his laptop.. he is using Z3x box and samsung tool( he himself told me)...on monday he is gonna give me...i will then flash at the shop...he charged rs.200/- only for changing the charging port and other rs.400/- for flashing 2.3.6 gingerbread os..( still it is less than rs.3500)..

is z3x box safe for my device( that repairman is using)????

I dont have sdk for android installed ... Can the zip file(containing required files) would work if i make it using 7z..

Anyway thanks U are GOD..:angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:

I doubt that. I bought a Teclast A10 tablet last year, so far no update from official at all.
[Android General] Dvalin21:
I didn't say anything about official roms, I mean custom roms, usually the custom always being the better one. Perfect example would be the V10 Visture tablet. Custom rom on Freaktab makes it an awesome RK3066. Either way the only reason why most tablets don't get picked up is because no one bothers to post a review or post anything at all about it.

Edit: Slatedroid and Tabletrepublic have devs waiting for the tablet to arrive. Also Androidforums.net

Aniol Spark Fireware, copy of Onda V972

Just found this, but it would be nice had Onda did the same thing. Ainol have a tablet with the exact same specs, but the battery is 10k instead of the 8k. Anyone know how much more time 2k mAh will add to the life of the device?

[Android General] msav:
onda has not enabled any power managment features of the tablet yet. There is a power managment chip, and the A31 has power managment as well not being used. The A31 is being ran at 1ghz even when idle. If you factor that in with battery life right now at 4-4.5 hours , just think what it should get once those features are enabled.

I have 2 of these and one of mine I was messing with for over 4 hours (installing apps rooting upgrading/downgrading firmware, ect) and it was at 69% I have not had any of the browser lag, however every so often when going into google play I get no connection retry. This has happened to me with all of my tablets so not sure if this is wifi power managment or not.

I have read about some quality control issues with some units, but both of mine seem to be working and looking great so far. I also did the firmware upgrade on a factory fresh device. I think this helps with stability.

PS, Every new battery operated device i have owned I have always let it charged for 24 hours before messing with it. Even if they state they are fully charged when they come out of the box. I have always had pretty consistent battery life trough the life of the device. Just my personal experience.

Note Take Battery MAH on Chinese batteries with a grain of salt. I have seen the same model make of battery advertised and many different MAH. They never are tested at what they say. I would not be surprised if ainol novo9 and onda v972 use the same exact battery. The thing about numbers anyone good in math can make numbers say anything you want. And guess who is really good with numbers. :)

@Msav

Thank you very much for this information. Have you by chance been in contact with Manufacturer or was this something you was able to asses by tinkering with your tablets? Mainly I would like to sure the info you have with others, just need to know where your info came from before I do. It looks like a great tablet, and plan on purchasing it myself. But I also would rather know all the fixes that I will need to do to fully enjoy the tablet. Thanks again for the info

PS: Were you able to root the v1.2 firmware? If so could you please post the process you took? I know that firmware 1.1 comes already rooted. Thanks

When device is turned off, just press and hold Home button, and after that press Power button while you get recovery mode.

In recovery select items by Touch and enter then by Power button.

the only buttons are Power and esc. (esc seems to function like back).

Re-flashing

Guys,

I have a problem. I flashed Onda with phoenix and arctablet firmware. Everything went OK. Now I have rooted 1.32. After flash I spotted that my Onda works a little lazy :) I tried to flash it back to normal NOT rooted 1.32 but every time phoenix informs me that there is no device to be flashed.

Of course Phoenix in PC mode normally recognizes my device, I can without any problem enter into flash mode with usb/home/power key combination but no result in flashing. What I'm doing wrong?

Ok, found better XML file batch that should help with the market apps

Ok here you go these files will work.

Copy and paste them into the permissions folder, DO NOT OVERWRITE any original files in the tab, only copy the missing files, the only one you do overwrite is tablet_core_hardware, all other files remain original, otherwise you will break operation of other systems on your tablet.

For me now, tunein radio, gta vice city, gta 3, all show up in android market as device compatible.

I also changed manufacturer to samsung just in case

P.s I got these files from supersport rom for the u30gt tablet.
