Blue tack, my friend, is the blue non-sticky, yet sticky substance normally used to stick posters to non sticky walls.

I imagine you Americans call it, "non-WMD, blue CIA Approved sticky thang" (not available in Eyeraq due to potential misuse) :)

Browsenow, your right, aceangel needs to find someting more productive to do with his time. Wandering round the registry is a path frought with thorny prickles waiting to stick in the XDA reset button permanently! :x

One day they will realise and come begging for my blue-tack solutions. You'll see. 8)

Something funny hapened which reminded me of this thread.

A friend of mine with an xda refuses to use cases and he dropped it. :cry:

Funnily enough it dropped right on the green LED bit, damaging it!

Perhaps Blue-Tack was a waste of time after all. You need to strategically drop your XDA so it hits the right spot :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Emil:
I got this from another forum:

1. First, make a full backup of your XDA II

2. Open up your favorite registry editor and go to:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LEDMgr

3. Inside the LEDMgr keyfolder is a string called "Dll"

4. Rename that to "xDll" then do a soft reset. That should take out

the green LED, leaving the phone radio on.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jupiter:
Does that switcht the bluetooth light off aswell?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] icarusbop:
nope: the LED manager fix only stops the green GSM light. however, there is a possible wotk round for the blue lights.

The latest version of pocket Zen phone (free at the moment, somewhere in these formus) is for changing profiles for your volume ans such, the profiles can also change yourradio settings (on/off) and BT settings (on/off)

Each profile can also be assigned a time.

I have a profile which leaves the volumes but turns off the BT and GSM radio, it comes on at 22:00 automatically, at 07:00 another profile is activated whcih turns on my BT and GSM radio, ready for the day; leaving the blue light off while I'm trying to sleep, but turning it back on for me during the day so I don't forget.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] direx:

Combine this with Tobias's Pocket Bluetooth Tools and you have even less aggro (no light and better battery usage). I set PBT to auto switch off Bluetooth after four minutes and PZP to enable it in all but one profile. With PBT not displayed, I simply switch a mode in PZP to turn BT on and PBT turns it off four minutes after I finish using it. Sweet!

The official aim of the campaign is to oust any anti-Bluetackism out of this country. We deserver better than those facists who want over complicated solutions. We simpletons need to 'stick' together.

I plan rallies, petitions, demonstrations... The work will require an army of supporters. Who will volunteer!!??? One of you will be required to blue-tack him/herself to the houses of parliament!

Just found this thread. It would've saved me a lot of time if I came across it earlier :D

I've done the similar guide couple of days ago.

Just to let you know that often there's one more thing in Messaging app that needs to be taken care of.

In case you are getting splitted conversations for the same contact (in case you have it stored as local number and operator

is using full number in SMS that arrives).

Also, after making a change in PhoneNumberUtils it is necessary to clear all contacts and populate them again, so the min_match attribute in the contacts database is populated with the correct length according to changed MIN_MATCH constant.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2268120
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
There's a ton of new threads every day - can't always be in perfect sync ;)

Thanks alot for the heads up - I've added a paragraph to the OT referring to the issue and your thread - hope thats ok. Personally I haven't had any issues with sms logs not syncing properly afterwards, but then again I had just been flashing and clearing caches rapidly, so probably didn't have any message logs yet to compare.

I just checked the Contact$ContactsCache.smali from my current ROM - it has the 0xa value, but I've had no problems with sms logs not syncing (pretty much all my contacts are stored in 8 digits (national standard without prefix), and all texts recieved are 11-valued (10 digits and "+" prefix). It might be that all my recieved texts are 10(a)-ciphered, so it does perform matching, but in the matching process - uses the value set in PhoneNumberUtils.smali. I'm not really able to confirm/debunk this without recieving a text from abroad, with a number value of less than 10(a) - OR, modifying value in Contact$ContactsCache.smali to a higher value than a. I'll see if I can get to that later, as it's pretty busy here at the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Thanksfor the answer! :)

To be more specific. Here is the exact misbehaviour of SMS and steps to reproduce.

1) Send SMS to contact which has local number (e.g. 0902 xxxyyy)

2) If you get a reply from that contact and if provider sends COMPLETE from number including international prefix,

new conversation thread will be created instead of adding the message to existing thread

This is because contacts are cached in Messaging app with a key of length 0xa

- So messagging app caches contact you send to under the key: 0902xxxyyy

- When you receive SMS from +421 902 xxx yyy, Messaging app is trying to lookup cached contact

with key 1902xxxyyy (!= 0902xxxyyy) and thus it thinks it's a message from another contact and creates new thread for it.

Regarding Phone contacts.

The phone contacts re-sync has nothing to do with messaging cache.

Conacts are stored in a database table. One of the column in the table is called "min_match" and holds the string value - normalized number

that was stripped/modified according to MIN_MATCH constant in the past (when contact was added while MIN_MATCH was 0xb).

So in the database table you have:

a) column for full number: e.g. +421 902 xxxx yyy

b) column for min_match normalized number: e.g. 21902xxxyyy (for MIN_MATCH == 0xb)

This means that even after changing MIN_MATCH in PhoneNumberUtils, existing contacts are still stored with old "min_match" value with larger length. So re-adding contacts will re-initialize values in min_match column respecting your new MIN_MATCH rule.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
So in regards to the phone contacts and synced contacts (google account etc), will a sync update, update the database table? I've never used phone-only stored contacts/unsynced myself, so I've not come across this before - and I don't have a scond SIM or phone available now to attempt to replicate the local-stored-contact issue.

As for the sms issue, I'm unable to replicate this - as local numbers are xxxxyyyy, and all recieved texts are +47xxxxyyyy. No zeroes or similar prefixes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
I believe, that all contacts, including those on SIM end up in the database - that's for ContactsProvider is for.

Android is doing lookups against ContactsProvider database to speed things up.

Of course, I am not 100% sure if SIM contacts are treated differently than those that are synced from clouds.

But this can be easily found out looking at the ContactsProvider source code (e.g. in CM github),

or doing some sqllite selects against ContactsProvider DB.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
This is beyond my technical level of competence.

I guess not all that many people store contacts to SIM anymore - but I still see many people storing contacts locally on their 'droid, and those don't get synced obviously. I didn't quite understand the functions on my first droid years ago (I tohught saving @ google-account meant it would perform lookup from google server every time, and wanted to conserve data usage) - so I saved almost all my contacts locally on the droid, and synced the google-account manually at intervals. When the phone fried (sim survived) - I quickly realized how wrong I'd been.

Edit: I guess my main question is wether contacts that sync/update - will be reprocessed on next sync (and thus database updated) because of the changed value in smali files. If this is the case, and you ONLY have syncable contacts on your phone - that would eliminate the need for clearing out the old ones..? - just wait for next sync/perform one manually...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
I have no space in any contact numbers, and still got no matches without performing the mods in OT.

Are you sure those spaced counts as a value - and the sum of numbers, symbols if +, AND the spaces combined - makes for too large a number value - with regards to the set min_match value? Is there a max_match value? It'll b tricky for me to test - my country have too few digits in phone numbers i think.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Phone number gets normalized before making a min_match of it. This means all non-numerical chars including spaces are removed before it is trimmed.

Example for MIN_MATCH constant being 7 and number +aaa bbb xxx-yyy :

min_match number will be: bxxxyyy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
Sounds reasonable, thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] speculatrix:
this is definitely not the case for me on my phone at the moment! I only get a number match for incoming call from 01234567890 if I specifically set the contact to 01234567890. If I insert a space into contacts (google) the match doesn't work.

I am rooted, on standard galaxy note2,. so if you know of some CSC magic I can tweak, I'll be happy to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Well, maybe Samsung introduced some additional magic into it.

My experience comes from what I actually saw in AOSP sources for telephony and messaging.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] speculatrix:
FIXED!

OK, the problem wasn't on my phone. I stumbled into this thread which made me think perhaps the problem was with Google's contact management system and not the phone:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23092

so I went to https://contacts.google.com then clicked the "cog" settings and changed my language and phone number settings country away from the UK, did ok, went back in and changed back to UK.

now I can enter contacts in the preferred +44 1234 567890, with the spaces, and an incoming call matched!

it doesn't seem to retrospectively match old call logs, or old SMS chats, which is disappointing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Nice
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pr0xZen:
If you take a look at C3C076's thread mentioned earlier, he does have instructions on that. I'm not sure if it is the same underlying problem , and would thus remedy it - but its if you deem it worth a shot, you should try it out.
