[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Tried a couple more apps.

ZenUI's Dialler and Contacts. Looks and feels all good, but no use. As in, doesn't fit my requirement. Likewise, with ExDialler.

Unsurprisingly, HTC's People app keeps crashing despite installing their Service Pack. Was hoping to get lucky trying it. Sony's apks don't even install for that matter.

Then tried an app called "Import Contacts (old)" which seemed to do the trick, only to realise it chose the Gmail account by default (despite the app description). Didn't want to try the paid version later, might reach out to the Dev to confirm before making a purchase.

BlackBerry's seemed almost perfect (allowed importing from.vcf) but it's a trial!! Need BB Hub subscription after 30 days. ?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Guess I found the near-perfect workaround, [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION].

Install this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount (it will NOT show up in the app drawer)

Go to Settings\Accounts\Add Account; click "MyLocalAccount". Then, return to the accounts screen (or list) and enter MyLocalAccount. Allow it to SYNC your contacts.

Head to the default Contacts app (in my case, Google Contacts which comes with the Pixel) and IMPORT - or CREATE - your contacts. You will then be presented with the option of choosing MyLocalAccount, an equivalent of storing your contacts in the phone storage. Select, import/create, et voila!

If there's one thing I need to remember, it is to not pull down the Contacts screen. Bl**dy thing force syncs Google contacts and the only way to remove them will be to remove and re-add the Google account. *cringe*

Anyway... Phew. For now.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Awesome for the most part! Thanks for sharing your research and mostly solution. I'll try to remember in case this comes up elsewhere, or if I ever want to do the same thing. Heck, this might be a good start to a Google Sheet (irony) I was thinking of doing for my own reference only, to record links and details of apps that provide workarounds for any problem I come across that's worth noting.

BOOgle!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Glad if this is of help to anyone. I have this OCD-esque mindset when it comes to how things in a gadget should be, micro arrangement, etc. *insert headdesk* and I think I'm not the only one (and naah, this has nothing to do with G having phone numbers, ha ha). :)

Oohhh, we'll definitely need a reference sheet like that one! Who knows what we'll end up recording.

My next itch: to find codes that bring up the service test menu on the Pixel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
:) I am a little narrow-minded about how I want my phone to work, too. I don't even care about how it looks/theming although I prefer apps to be dark. I care a lot more about how the software and hardware work.

I actually tend to keep things relatively simple, as much as possible, anymore. About the most invasive thing I do these days besides flashing TWRP/PureNexus/SuperSU and using Nova Launcher Prime and Titanium Backup is that after a fresh ROM flash, I install the last version of Google Voice v4.7.xxxxx because 5.x versions make it no longer appear as an option for voicemail in the Pixel and HTC 10's Phone app.

My "trick" is to install the last Voice v4.7, configure it and select Voice as my Voicemail provider in the phone app, then I can update it via the Play Store and the setting will stick. You can note that if you go into the phone app's voicemail settings after updating to 5.x, now it appears as if nothing is selected. There's only one option, Carrier voicemail, and it's not selected. I've done tests and this workaround works every time reliably.

Hopefully, this trick doesn't stop working and Google reinstates things so that Voice v5.x will be recognized as a Voicemail provider sooner than later.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Oh likewise! I like it when widgets on the screen complement to the front face of the handset, especially when bezels are present. As is the case with the Pixel.

Was not aware of that, I'm afraid. We don't use Google Voice here, although I have noted that trick. Might be flying down later this year and, for all you know, might end up using Google Voice!

Been aeons since I rooted/flashed, though. HTC Desire (A8181) was my first and till-date only rooted/modded device. Didn't see a need to root/flash ROMs on my Android One and Xperia XZ, and not sure if I will need to with the Pixel either. Happy to wait and observe. Not even 96 hours since purchase :)

But from the little I have observed, guess the software is still a bit buggy (e.g. updating/downloading from the Play Store can suddenly become long drawn). And the touchscreen can act funny (albeit rare). Oh, and just noticed - while on a call, the DND blob shows up on the notification bar, which means I won't get any email or SMS alerts. That's a first. Slowly figuring ways around.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think there may have been a front page article on the DND issue, which I'm led to believe was by design, although I think it's a stupid idea of Google's. I know I read an article about it somewhere, anyway, within the last few weeks.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Oh, ok, will search it out. Thanks for the tip.

I simply went to Settings\Notifications and allowed Mail, Calendar, Gmail, Hangouts, Messages, Messenger and Phone to override DND.

Hope it works. Haven't had a chance to observe yet.

This My local Account app is simply fantastic and does the job well. Thanks for guidance
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] rimvydukas:
I've tried this solution and it works. One simple question - why do I need to enable account sync option? It seems that everything works and without this option...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] 4EverMaAT:
This MyLocalAccount option works well with any phone that does not have its own contact manager.

And does not want to sync contacts with google account.

But i do not see the option in Google Contacts app to select which contacts to display. I see an option, but the MyLocalAccount is not there.

It shows up in other dialers/contact managers, but google contacts seems to be ignoring any non-cloud options.

I can create a new contact or choose default storage as MyLocalAccount no problem. But i cannot force the displayed contacts yet. Any ideas?

Edit: at the home screen, the top right corner, you must press the icon. Then you will see dropdown menu for the different "accounts to display". And select local contacts (MyLocalAccount) or all accts. Duh.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domenicus163:
Hello, i have a handy samsung galaxy s3 2016 SM-A310F.

I have Android 6.0.1 on it. I have Pokemon go and spoofed with gpsjoystick, mocklocation set to gpsjoystick and everything worked fine.

Today in the morning the hansy startet itsself new and since that time pokemon go says location not found at the moment when any

gps fake software is startet and fakes the gps.

Resetting of the handy didnt chance anything. Deleting the fake-Gps-software and pokemon go and reinstall doesnt change anything.

First starting pokemon go and then fake-Gps does end in location not found too.

But what was curious: when pokemon was on the spoofed location there is the message location not found. but when gps was rubberbanding at the moment pokemon was "home" the message disappered till the gps jumped back to the spoofed location. then the message appears again.

At the end i was thinking about routing my handy, but no oneclick-software which supports that handy....and dont want to root the handy permanently cause dont

know if pokemon go works with rooted handy..

so, if anyone has any idea about that, please help

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] hexane:
After spending hours reading through the FAQ's and all on how to flash I finally took the leap and did it, flashing my AT&T Tilt to Dutty's DualTouch v3 Final.

*1* :confused:Unfortunately my usual 3G isn't working.. When I go to the Communication Manager and select (under the 3G logo) "Change to GSM mode" (to force it into 3G) it shows at the top that there is no service. Is this a radio issue? I know about radio's except **I can't find where to look on my Tilt to see what current radio it is using**..

also, There is an "H" in the upper task bar instead of the usual 3G or E (Edge). I guess this stands for HSDPA?

1.B. When I try to check my gmail account it says "Cannot connect for unknown reason".. I can't figure out why in the settings.

(Other, less important issues below, from unimportant to really unimportant)

2. How can I make it so the leading "zero" goes away in the time? (i.e. 03:00pm)

3. How can I change the date to make it "american style" (month/day/year)

4. How can I get rid of the anti-aliased look in the print?

5. how can I activate the cube look to check it out?

I guess if I can't get the email and all working I'll just switch it back to the old AT&T ROM and re-remove the bloatware :(

Thanks for your information and help!!

Start/settings then goto system tab and select regional settings. Then goto the last tab date...You can change it there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bandit788:
Hexane, I just flashed an AT&T Tilt with the same ROM. If you did the hardSPL you should be OK...to check your radio number power your phone down and restart...when it comes back on the number in red after the letter "R" is your radio number. I even flashed a ROM with a different radio number then what I had and my phone kept my old radio number...not sure if it was suppose to but it works. The H is for HSDPA which essentially is "3G"...my phone switches between showing the H and 3G, but it works either way. When you go into Comm manager, does it have the blue on button at the bottom beside 3G?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anilkuj:
2. How can I make it so the leading "zero" goes away in the time? (i.e. 03:00pm)

settings --> System --> Regional Settings

Goto Time tab and select time style as h:mm:ss that will remove the leadin zero

3. How can I change the date to make it "american style" (month/day/year

settings --> System --> Regional Settings

Goto date tab and select the Date format in there,

5. how can I activate the cube look to check it out?

search for slither cube in xda forums and install it from there.

ask me if you don find the links

Still interested in this–

started happening to me a few days back aswell; I noticed the change after shooting some balls with my phone in the pocket, screen facing the skin. At some point the phone got insanely hot. When I picked it up all sorts of s*** happened, as if my thigh was able to make touch inputs through the pants? Notification center / quick settings were all toggled randomly. Flashlight, geo location and hotspot were switched on whereas Wifi and Bluetooth were off (which is unusual). And the camera was running with fully brightened screen, which I think was main reason for the heat.

I wasn't sweating extensively; meaning the phone wasn't wet in my pockets or something–

And I don't know if the random screen wake up enabled my thigh to make the touch inputs or of something else happened which from then on let the screen randomly wake up– chicken and egg, you know :F

please help Samsung care does not support to me because mobile is overseas

thanx for support
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
The n910p is the Sprint model. You can update your firmware with Odin, just use the the sprint tar files.

If your not gonna use Sprint service, your first gonna want to make sure the sim is unlocked. Either with a paid service or some other way. There are threads at the Sprint forum for this! Search and read through them. Like GT tools. I am not very knowledgeable in this matter so ask I one of them threads.

Once you make sure your unlocked, if your using gsm service, you can pretty much flash any snapdragon Rom! All you need is to flash a Sprint kernel and correct data fix with the Rom you want.

Also Before you do anything, make a complete backup with twrp! Also make another one once you get unlocked.

The Rom you decide to install will determine which firmware you need before hand.

Once or if your already sim unlocked, and you pick a Rom out that you'd like to install, I can help.

Are you unlocked? Do you know how to use Odin? How to flash and use twrp?

What firmware are you currently on?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
This thread has most of the sprint note 4 stock firmware files and Odin: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864

Here are official USB drivers: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe

Here is official Twrp 3.02: https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar.html This is installed from Odin!

Uninstall any Samsung software you have on pc for best results.

Download and install USB drivers to pc.

Download and unzip Odin to pc.

Download twrp.

1st thing I recommend is making a full backup.

So let's install twrp!

1. So put phone in download mode. (Turn off then hold power+vol dwn+home) then it'll prompt you to push vol up.

2. Open odin as admin.

3. Plug phone in pc USB. Odin should recognize phone.

4. In Odin. Click options, unclick auto reboot. Only 'F Reset time's should be checked. Now go back to log tab.

5. Click the AP button. And load the twrp file.

6. Click start. Do not touch pc or phone. Let it be. When the log states all threads completed. Wait 1 minute just to be safe. Unplug phone. Pull out battery. Put back in.

7. Boot into recovery. Press and hold (pwr+vol up+home)

You should now have twrp.

Goto backup and backup all partitions. If your not worried about your installed stuff, you don't need to backup 'data'.

Main thing is (boot,system,efs,modem)

Save this backup somewhere safe.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Part 2. Info!

If your just looking to install stock Rom. All you need is Odin and the stock tar file. But you select auto reboot in Odin.

You only deselect auto reboot when flashing twrp, because it won't stick.

Also once you upgrade to ok1 there is no downgrading.

If your looking to instal custom roms, you should read what firmware they recommend to have before hand. But most of them should work on most current firmware. It just depends.

In general this is what you'll do.

1. Odin the stock firmware you want. Let it boot.

2. Odin twrp.

3. Once you have twrp, flash any Rom you want for your phone.

4. Use a Sprint kernel (Ram) and data fix for international roms.

Edit. Once you upgrade your firmware, it's a good idea to make another backup of it. Especially the EFS.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
No. Tried it now and it's not made for cover, but still it works exactly same as IntelliCover - vibrates when I close the cover when display is off (when on, vibrations are not triggered) and turns on the screen when I open the cover.

It turns off the disolay, but only when proximity is covered AND display is pointing down....

So it too doesn't turn off the display by itself ONLY when I close the cover...

It's better than nothing that it turn screen on, but would prefer something which works both ways.

Had to change working angle and it works :)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcwups1:
I know. I've seen the threads for battery drain and such, but I don't think there's a problem with "drain" so much, as perhaps a bad battery altogether.

I'm using my old M8 for my daughter, but after RUU, and setting up latest TWRP and all, then trying to install a custom ROM whether Stock or AOSP, when I boot into recovery, it goes from 100% within the ROM, to show 80% in recovery.

If off the charger, there does appear to have some battery drain, but I chalk that up to normal first usage.

However, it then shuts off @ 30%, but when I put it on the charger, it says @ 60%.

I've done the calibration method (hold all buttons for 2 minutes) trick, but there appears to be no help for the erratic battery readings.

Does anyone know if my suspicion is correct?
