i am using haxsync and get hd picture synced. always the best choice for me
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaFFeiNe666:
doesn't it sync "on the fly"? meaning, the sync remains if i delete haxsync? i've read it drains quite a bit of battery... and do pics appear large in dialer?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfiabraham:
use this app called UberSync Facebook contact sync

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

It allows you to sync the recent profile picture from your friend's profile and you can change the size of the picture to small, medium,large. My Arc S shows full screen when I get a call from my friends :thumbup: just set the photo size to large. Also the app can be set to auto sync or you can manually sync. No worries about battery drain!

Press thanks if I helped :)

I am using the Sync.ME application from Google Play Store. It's kinda awesome. It is able to find some pictures from social networks like fb even to a contacts that haven't shared friends details with me:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaFFeiNe666:
i'm trying this for know, do you know if there will be a notification at the end? cause i started sync, but didn't show me any status bar o countdown or percentage, it just said "sync started", how can i now if it will finish?

@alfiabaram, i'm going to try that too ;) thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfiabraham:
Oops! I forgot to mention this - you need to rename the contact to their Facebook name (be very specific about the first & last name) then it will fetch their assign their picture to the contact. Use ' run manual scan' option. There's no notification after the scan is finished >.<
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaFFeiNe666:
ok i've tried with it, but it isn't so "ergonomic", no notifies, no info,and i couldn't make manual links to facebook profile.... and when i tried to delete it, i've lost all my pix :(

would like to try sync.me but yesterday developers put it out of the market cause it has to be rewritten (or similar)

now i've tried facebook contact picture sync by sbla games

it has anything i need seems, it has manual link (you can save and load links) for people with different names

it syncs then you can delete the app, it takes big photos,and is quite fast (you can "assist the process) so i think for anyone who doesn't need repeated syncs (don't know if it handles it, didn't search)

btw thanks for your help ;)

it seems quite good
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Go to Gmail Contacts and put HD pictures to your contacts, then put the contacts you use the most to the favourites (starred in Android) let it sync with Google and finally clear the cache and data from your "contacts" app, then sync again with google your contacts again and the starred contacts will sync in HD!

I really try and research these problems first and have come nowhere so could someone please help me out.

I will provide what I know:

First I have a EDIT: > Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250M (CDMA) (Bell Mobility)

Yesterday I had a stock ROM @ 4.1.1

Today I upgraded to the CyberGR|MOD-JB-maguro-Ver-2-Nemesis-20130308 Build number:JDQ39

I have all drivers installed, "Galaxy Nexus Toolkit" installed.TWRP backup installed and backed up. Kernel version updated to: 3.0.66-franco.Kernel-nightly francisco@francisco #366.

Now I want to update to "[ROM - AOSPA - 4.2.2] PARANOIDANDROID 3.10 [Toroplus] 08-MAR-2013"

And get this message (status 7)

Does a Status 7 indicate an invalid ROM?

I have ROM Manager and SuperSU installed as well.

I've wiped all cache and done a factory reset to no avail, thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
The roms you're trying to install aren't made for Nexus S but for Galaxy Nexus. That's where your error stems from.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vraskin:
Hi everyone! I recently got a TF700 with the hopes of unlocking and rooting it to get at all the custom ROM goodness. Sadly, I'm having a few problems. Before doing anything I successfully upgraded to JB 4.1.1, so I know that my updates were working. After playing around with it for a few days and doing my research, I was ready to proceed with unlocking using a YouTube guide. Before starting the process, I checked for new updates and got the "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment and try again" message.

Since I was already on the firmware I needed, I figured that maybe the servers actually were full and forgot about it. I proceeded to get the Asus Unlock tool onto my tablet via ADB Tool v7, but when I got past all the warnings, I ended up getting a similar message. I called Asus and they said that the servers were fine on their end, and that I should RMA the tablet to them. I'd rather not do that because I don't want to wait 3 weeks for them to fix this random issue, but I also really want to unlock my tablet :(.

Has anyone got any solutions or suggestions? I'm just confused because I know that my tablet could connect to the Asus servers since I had previously updated with no problems, and I haven't done anything but play around with apps from the app store since then...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] galoule:
Hello everyone,

I am a french guy who just purchased a XDA in Singapore. I have learnt that PPC 2003 upgrade will not be available from O2 themself.

Nevertheless, after reading some of the forum messages, I understand that some people have achieved to upgrade their XDA with the new Microsoft Mobile system.

Can someone explain me an easy and secured way to do it? (I am sorry but I am not highly skilled in that kind of process)

My device information are as follow :

ROM version : 3.14.17 ENG

ROM date : 10/11/02

Radio version : 4.17

Protocol Version : 32S54

Model No. : PW10A1

Does the PPC 2003 compatible with Asian XDA?

Thank you for your answer, even if you advise me to remain pleased with the actual version I own (better for me to keep my PDA under function if the upgrade requires a lot of how-know or can create a lot of troubles)

warm regards,

Laurent
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rusalex2k8:
could someone please to explain , xt 907 and xt 905 have the same chip inside. I can see different lte frequencies according official motorola sites( for US and for Australia) I assume it's locked on software level. is it possible to unlock all available frequencies lte in this device ? maybe some software or radio or something else.

thank you in advance
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0uncyfr0:
We dont know if this is something that can be unlocked. I would be ecstatic if it were so. We need more developers working on the phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omegaclawe:
Presumably, it would just require flashing a new radio to get different bands... though I've seen nothing to suggest that this is possible on this phone... and testing if it can can be a very quick way to brick a device.

LTE seems a bit harder to transfer between carriers than other technologies, though... so it might suggest some hardware changes... for instance, different frequencies might require different antennas, or slight modifications to the chips... in which case, changing the frequency in the software could be a quick way to set your device on fire.

...should be considerably easier with the LTE-Advanced chips, though. Those are designed to operate across (and combine) widely disparate frequencies.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyMrVideo:
Isn't the control of what frequencies that are used (CDMA, U.S. GSM and European/other GSM) by a specific carrier programmed into the SIM card that is installed?

For example, if I go to the U.K. I would remove the US Cellular SIM and get, as an example, a T-mobile SIM, for my Electrify-M.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommino84:
I don't think so, that would be too easy :)

In the case would be great, but I'm not that confident.

Anyway I'm really interested in this topic too, because Italian LTE freq are definitely not on 700MhZ as Verizon's, they are instead more similar to Australia's ones:

8000

1800

2000

2600

If it's possible to adapt or change them, it would be great!

I was also thinking about flashing XT905 rom over XT907, wondering how bad it could be for the phone (anymore CDMA support, but....who cares? :D)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyMrVideo:
I need to expand upon my answer.

AIUI, when a cell phone is designed, it is equipped with a tuner that will be able to tune any one of three possible groups of frequencies: CDMA, U.S. GSM, and foreign (as viewed from the U.S.) GSM. Depending on the country the phone will be sold, it will either have CDMA, or CDMA and U.S. GSM, or foreign GSM, or all three.

Within each of those groups are specific frequencies and those frequencies are assign to carriers. Its like TV station channel assignments. Within the broadcast band, a TV station is assigned a frequency, or channel.

The SIM card that is installed in the phone by the carrier tells the phone which frequencies that will be used. If I were to take my phone to an area that only had AT&T and US Cellular didn't have a roaming agreement for that area, I would not have phone service, even though I was within a CDMA cell tower.

I believe that the Electrify-M can use all worldwide frequency groups. That is why I would need to remove the SIM card if I go to the U.K. and get a T-Mobile card, because US Cellular doesn't have any foreign agreements. But, If I had T-mobile in the U.S. it is very possible that the SIM card that I get from them would be programmed to work anywhere in the world that they covered or had agreements with.

Several years ago, I had the Blackberry World Edition (still do). But I had to add a SIM card from T-mobile because I was with US Cellular. That let me travel anywhere in Europe and have phone coverage. When I got back to the states and turned the phone back on, because I last used T-mobile, the phone reconnected with the U.S. GSM frequencies and I had T-mobile service in the states. I turned that off so that I would get the US Cellular CDMA service.

So, what all this means, AIUI, your phone must first be able to tune the particular frequency group and it must have a SIM card that will allow the phone to tune within those frequency groups.

Getting 3G or 4G-LTE is also dependent on the carrier's SIM card configuration. If the carrier you are using doesn't do LTE, you aren't going to get LTE, even if the phone can do LTE.

So, Tommino84, if the phone you are looking at using in Europe was only designed to tune U.S. CDMA and GSM frequencies, you will NOT be able to get it to tune European GSM frequencies, period.

That is why I look for phones that can tune world wide.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommino84:
This phone has world capabilities, so it will tune with almost every frequency it's able to:

CDMA 800 1900, LTE B13, WCDMA 850 900 1900 2100, GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 EVDO Rev. A, HSDPA 21.1 Mbps (Cat 14), HSUPA 5.76 Mbps

If you check Aussie version:

LTE 1800/2600, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 42.2 Mbps (Cat 24), HSUPA 5.76 Mpbs (Cat 6)

IMHO, flashin like said here:

Could enable those frequencies.

I'm waiting feedback from germanese on that
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahoalton:
Sim locking

It depends on whether the phone is unlocked, I don't think you can go to a different country and put another sim card in your phone if it is locked to that specific carrier.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
I would definitely recommend trying to flash the modem from the Telstra XT905 or any of the other compatible modem files for the MSM8960 chipset that we have available like the XT925 and even the Atrix HD.

You will need to also flash the fsg.mbn along with the NON_HLOS.bin or modem_signed file and erase modemst1 and modemst2.

I flashed all of them at one point or another when I was trying to get HSPA+ working on US carriers, before we had discovered the NV edit method.

It is also possible that you will need to make other NV edits to enable the various bands.

I would try flashing the modems and see what results, if any, you get with them.

As has been discussed many times, there is no SIM lock on any of the VZW global Motorolas and it is just a matter of unblocking the band configuration in the radio for the various network deployments. The chipset is definitely capable and the NV is configured for all those bands.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommino84:
I was waiting answer from germanese: he has his gf using XT907 with Aussie radio in Europe, reporting better results than stock radio.

he says me that:

now I just need some clarifications on how to do the whole thing.

I've download Telstra FW: files listed below:

9.8.2Q_SMUIRD-7_SEMEAUnlk_USAXT90501TLSTRAE1019.0R_SMJBLTEAUTEL_P008_A014_1FF_fb.xml

aboot_signed

boot_signed

cache

cdrom_signed

devtree_signed

flash_fastboot.bat

flash_fastboot_erase_userdata.bat

fsg_signed

logo

modem_signed

ota (directory)

partition_signed

persist

recovery_signed

rpm_signed

sbl1_signed

sbl2_signed

sbl3_signed

system_signed

tz_signed

No NON-HLOS file, nor fsg.mbn, only fsg_signed

I've downloaded also the retail FW: am I missing something?

What about modemst1 and modemst2: where should I delete them? I haven't found them in VZW fw

if you can give me just this small hints to start would be great and I would really appreciate it :)

ps. seems that all dropbox links for aussie NON-HLOS are dead... :(
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You have everything you need from that file, its just the names are different for the VZW partitions in the XML.zip.

fsg_signed is the same as fsg.mbn and modem_signed is the same as NON-HLOS.bin.

modemst1 and modemst2 are like cache files for the modem and are just a precaution to avoid any issues. You don't see them on the device file system.

The following zip contains all updated fastboot binaries that will handle the larger image size for the modem and other partitions.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/New Fastboot.zip

You don't want to flash the full Telstra firmware so just put those fastboot binaries and dlls into a folder with the XML.zip partitions and open a command prompt from within that directory. In Win7 you would use ctrl+alt+shift+right click and select Open Command Prompt in this Window.

Then use the following commands:

fastboot flash modem modem_signed

fastboot flash fsg fsg_signed

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot reboot

You may find that a different modem will support the bands you need better than the Telstra and there are several to choose from the XT925 European or South American carriers.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommino84:
just in case

if I want to go back and try your method it would be enough to sbf back to VZW image, or even just perform the same procedure with VZW files. Correct?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Yes absolutely correct. You can simply fastboot the fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin from VZW XML and erase modemst1 and modemst2 again and be back to stock.
