google account and other accounts that your device is synced with.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm79:
Ah, so from Facebook, etc - that makes sense. Any idea if there is a way to make it sync from google contacts only (ie. the ones I have in gmail)? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
Of course. Go into settings then go to accounts. Here go through all the accounts and uncheck contact sync.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilTechPrincess:
Actually, if you have your Facebook contacts mixed in there then you need to go into the Facebook app, go to settings, and other "Other Settings" set "Sync Contacts" to "Don't Sync". That will remove your Facebook friends from your cotacts.

Does anyone know if my Verizon Galaxy S3 (i-535) will work in South Africa with a local South African SIM card? I will be traveling there next month and want to use a local SIM. I have the jellybean firmware installed.

Thanks a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
It should work if you are on the global contract with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Having the Verizon global contract has nothing to do with using a local sim card internationally.

Hey Everybody,

Why is there no thread for the stable release of cm10? I only see cm10 nightly thread.

How often are you guys seeing the known issue of disappearing - default paid apps\face unlock and I think there was one other issue? are these known issues on the stable release too (please dont flame me, i know this is a seemingly ridiculous question).

and is there overclocking on the cm10 stable release?

thanks and cheers!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Frosty4810:
Hey all! I recently got my new Xperia tl from att. One thing I have yet to find is a message limit to convert SMS messages to mms messages. All of my other phones I've owned would either automatically change SMS messages to mms messages after say like 5 pages were written, or you could select the type of message. The reason why I ask is when a message is like 5 pages long the person in talking to usually gets 5 messages but they almost never come in the right order so its like trying To put a puzzle of messages together! Haha. So is there any way to set a limit to.change the message type after the text gets to certain length? Thanks all!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Felimenta97:
I think that a five message long could be divided with a few Full Stops. Or send a email, better I think for such a long message.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You could use a third party mms message app.

So it look like the JB OTA update is here for the USA. Mine is rooted, and has already download the update, but I haven't applied it yet, as I'm rooted and I don't know if I have to do something special first.....

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheepdog elite:
I went ahead and installed it on my daughters tab. CWM protected itself, and root. I'm still poking around, but thus far no issues beyond it says "update failed" but clearly didn't.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim2029:
I'm wondering if I should remove CWM and unroot it first...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheepdog elite:
Run a nandroid real quick, back it up to your computer, and let 'er rip. Like I said, it's working perfectly for me. Then again my daughter is 7, so losing all her data isn't really a problem.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayanandgp:
Updated with Root ?

So if i understand correctly , you allowed the OTA with root and it wiped data ? I am suprised it installed with Custom recovery !!!

I have over 200 user apps. Will i retain those Apps (dont mind data being wiped)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheepdog elite:
No, it didn't wipe data. I wasn't worried about it "if" it did, because it's my daughters, and I have TIBU for all her games from like last week.

Just to be perfectly clear. NOTHING went wrong. It installed the new O.S., booted fine, said the update failed, but the update didn't fail. Probably because CWM preserved root, and bootloader, so verification failed.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim2029:
I ran it..... It updated thru CWM... Once done said update failed, but I had a new agreement to agree too. Sys info says its running 4.1.1.

If I have and issue, ill update here.

Failed for P3113

Based on your experience thought I would try too... Unfortunately failed miserably... I have Cwm 6.0.2.3 and attached is the crash log... Maybe some experts can give their views..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheepdog elite:
I guess I'll post my successful config just for the sake of comparison.

I'm currently running CWM 6.0.1.1. The tab was rooted with a file called gtab2_jellybean_rooter (think I got it from XDA, but i'm not positive) and had no other modifications/roms/etc.

If you're running any sort of ROM you're definitely boned, gotta wait for a ROM update. Beyond that, I'm not really sure what to say :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netlagger:
To do the proper update, you should un-root and then re-root once done. That way you get the full support with your update if needed.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neil Fruit:
I am rooted, running CWM 6.0.2.3. I accepted the update and hit the install thinking that it would fail just as it does on a rooted SIII. The notification said the install had failed, but as others here have indicated, it appears as though the install was successful. I retained root and all seems to be normal; with one exception: It appears that the Tab no longer "sleeps" but shuts down completely. Regardless of whether I turn it off with the power button (short press) or if the screen simply goes to sleep, I have to long press the power button and it goes through a full boot.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting I am missing? I am not a noob at rooting, etc. as I have been doing it since my OG Droid on Verizon, but it surprised me when the update seemed to install (even Google Now is working), and I am stumped about this "shut down" that seems to happen.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420fan:
I experienced the same thing. I was rooted and had installed CM10, went back to original backup, using latest CWM. I hit system update and it downloaded the update, asked me to continue. CWM asked me if I wanted to install unsigned zip, I accepted, and it went through. At first boot it said update failed, but like everyone else, it went through. I have had no issues at all. My tab goes to sleep correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
Have peace in mind.

I finished updating (unfortunately, the battery was 9%, so I had to wait for an hour to charge before doing anything) and I got "failed" error like everybody got, but the system shows 4.1.1 and the performance is improved, and I applied root again.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KicknGuitar:
I'm curious if anyone has a list of removable apps for the stock Defy as well as lists for Quarx's CM10 roms etc. I've found a few but were either very old or sem-related roms and releases.

From what I gathered most of the bloat is gone in Roms like Quarx's CM10. Of course not all of the included services and apps will be used by the user, for example, I don't use bluetooth, nor do I use the FM Radio etc. Most of these basic apps with layman-like labeling I've uninstalled but some are a little more like: "Download Manager" or "DRM Protected Content Storage."

I'm curious to hear if anyone has a more conclusive list than my clusterf-- of pieces.

Cheers.

I am also interested in this, I would uninstall stock messages, and browser, music player, video player... but will the phone stay completely functional?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KicknGuitar:
If I can retrace some of my searches I can offer a few of the old lists. Unfortunately I never made a comprehensive one for myself and the Defy. I only just started to label my apps in Titanium Backup when I realized

For example much of the general stock apps I know can be uninstalled, naturally if you want music to play but don't have a music player, you may want to stick with stock until you find an music app which you like (I run Subsonic and have been checking up on XenoAmp's development... I just love the ideas behind it).

I've found it never hurts to back up and do a test run of the app frozen before you remove it. Here's some of the stock Apps I've removed/Frozen(Titanium Backup) without a hitch:

Oh, absolutely. I'd just love to hear what else I can squeeze out. I don't use a lot of basic apps and services even on the debloated CM ROMs. Since it's so easy to overload the Defy with too many things running I'd rather keep everything minimal.

Since no one has a defy-specific list maybe I'll update this one in a day or two.

I have a custom ROM install on my GS3 but my battery is kind of ****. I have juice defender installed with the aggressive setting but I still find my battery dies fast. So basically I would like to know if the battery is better on stock vs a custom ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BAM1789:
What ROM are you currently running? You'll definitely get better battery life out of a stock based ROM with a custom kernel, than an AOSP ROM like CM 10.1 or AOKP currently. As both those being 4.2 based still have bugs to be worked out. As always though YMMV with ANY ROM. Try out Better Battery Stats off the Play store and see if you are getting some weird kernel wakelocks. CPU Spy is another good free alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] lenny_kano:
I ported it quickly this morning, nothing major. God it looks better than the standard Calculator, and finally fits in with MIUI. Will fix the slider text issue another time but for now feel free to test on any ROM/device whatsoever, it should work just fine.

Apk/screenshots available here: http://www.miuiaustralia.com/?page_id=823

This is for impatient people who want it on MIUI v4 before next week . Or people (like me) who just want something different in their AOSP ROM than the boring standard one.

Hey everyone,

I recently got the Netgear PTV3000 and I've been loving watching video, etc wirelessly from my phone. While video is perfectly in sync with audio, games however aren't (expected). The only games that I'd like to play on my TV are emulators and since those Roms have a low resolution to begin with, I was wondering if it was possible to decrease the resolution of the output from the N4 (using miracast) so that I can try to minimize lag. Is there any way to do this?

I have the CDMA Virgin Mobile One V. My RUU is acting up. I have used it before and it has worked perfectly but recently it started showing an error about my battery being lower than 30% even though I have charged it to 100%. I already have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM I just want to find out why it isn't working. I usually don't flash the stock recovery before I use the RUU. I just lock the bootloader and it has worked before so I don't think that's the problem!! What do I do?
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
Try rebooting to bootloader before running the ruu. See if that solves your problem, and either way let us know.

[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:

[HTC One V] Gryff302:
Have you tried one of the free battery apps on the android market? Sometimes keeping your phone on charge too much will decrease battery life and uncalibrate the battery. Download Battery Doctor. Its free. Make sure your battery is below 10% when you run the app. Charge your phone with the app running until is says completed. This can help recalibrate the battery and help extend battery life again.

Learned from experience with an ipod 2g that had about 20 minutes of battery life from full charge to dead then used a battery app and restored the battery to normal. Also try not to leave your phone in hot places for long periods of time. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darkleafar:
I've only had jelly bean for about one month or so, and I barely starting using voice commands again as of recently. One of the things I noticed is commands that used to work on ICS no longer work, and that upsets me.

For example, I used to be able to say "call *random business*" and it would give me a list of the closest ones and a single tap would suffice to start the call. Now, on jelly bean, it simply googles the words "call *random business*" which is stupid and completely useless.

Another example, I used to be able to say "navigate to *blargh *" and it would either take me to the closest one or give me a list to pick. Now it just googles the latter words.

So, can anyone tell me what's going on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
There should be two google searches. One is google search (icon with the g) and the other is google voice search(icon with the mic). Google search when using the mic it will bring up the usual google search links. Google voice search will have the dink sound and the words "speak now"

will bring up random business links. Example Robert Smith has two phone numbers. Open google voice search (icon with mic) and say "call Robert Smith" it brings up the two numbers for him. Click on one and it puts it in the dialer or directly calls(i forget which).

I just tried "navigate to my home address" and in a few seconds navigation came up. And started taking me home.

My question is, which one do I choose? The other boxes have the ROM maker's name like Phone/Messaging storage 4.2.1-eng.mmuzzy.numbers.numbers(SMS/MMS/APN)
