I would like to create a shortcut to a specific contact so that clicking on it takes you to the details page of that particular contact from where you can then choose how to contact that person (email, text, mobile phone, home phone, work phone).

So I've been messing with an lnk file:

1000#\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts ...

I tried -new as a command line parameter, and that works. I cannot figure out how to go to a specific contact. Then I found this discouraging thread:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454208.aspx

There must be some way to do this. HTC Home has a similar function in their contacts tab. When you tap and hold a contact it takes you to that contact's detail page.

My end goal is to incorporate this into Mortbuttons ... I want a menu of favorite contacts, so when I click on any one, it takes me to the page where I can choose how to contact them. I'm surprised this doesn't exist, because that is the most intuitive way to do things. First you think of whom you want to contact, and only THEN do you think of how to contact them.

The challenge is up!

I'd be interested in that as well. Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
Wrote it already in my forum, but just in case...

I don't know of any way to do this from command line.

There is a way to show the contact page with COM/POOM (interface for programmers), which will be implemented in the upcoming MortButtons beta (probably tonight - CET).

It wasn't available so far because I still use eVC4 (because it's free and allows more easy support of systems up to including WM2003SE), which doesn't support new features of WM5 (like contact info page, contact image, contact ringtone, etc.) without some workarounds...

The sponsored post mentioned it should work, but curious if any the buttons will misaligned wrong and be constantly hit.

Just desperately need a case atm lol. The stuff I ordered from eBay are taking ages to ship and damn is this phone slippery.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] djsubterrain:
Yes, I tried mine, it does work fine but the holes on the bottom are ever so slightly misaligned. The buttons on the side and the notification slider worked fine. There's a massive gap between the back and the camera so it's well protected as the 3/3T camera was more bulky then the 5's camera.

I'm in the same boat as you waiting for cases, I managed to get a clear case for the 5 which will do in the meantime, was quite cheap on Amazon UK.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] cdig:
misaligned as in, are the headphone jack/usb-c slots still accessible?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] djsubterrain:
Sorry, scrap that, just tried it again, the volume keys are slightly below the case's also, the power button is pretty much in the same place though. The USB port is exactly the same but the headphone port on the phone is slightly to the right of the hole.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] cdig:
do the slight positions impact accessibility for the volume rocker? Can you still squeeze in a headphone jack into the port?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] djsubterrain:
you can't really use the vol down button and I wouldn't want to try forcing headphones in anyway, it'll probably damage the port or the headphones jack.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Albit:
Hi all!

Since the last weeks I have been watching strange battery results, some days I make good hours of screen and some other I can't get even to four hours.

I would like to do a clean install of the last firmware, which for me is it the PHE with the june patch. (I installed via OTA few days ago). What I would like to know is if I need to take special care with the PIN method, because now I have that option enabled. Should I deactivated it before doing the flash? Should I go without any problem of PIN being activated? Any concern about Samsung Account or cloud backup?

I have another small question. It is any difference between Odin and factory reset? My phone came with 6.0 when I bought it.

Thank you all!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

With batteries is tricky , most of the time the issue comes from settings or apps , best thing to find out is to use an app like BBS to find out let it run for a few hours and check the logs to see what is going on

your question about flashing:

PIN , is recommended to disable it ....if not you will be ask for it after flashing, you should know it , so no big deal

Factory reset = delete the DATA/partition ( user data and apps)

Odin flashing case 1 using home_csc file= flash ALL partition firmware fresh install BUT do not delete DATA/partition

Odin flashing case 2 using CSC file= Format all partition ( Data / partition included)+ firmware fresh install
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Albit:
Hello MAX 404, thank you for your response.

I'm using GSam Battery Monitor with ADB permission (my phone is not rooted) to try to find out what's happening. But I will try BBS these days. What kind of data should I check after installing and running BBS?

Also, there's no more doubt about Odin, I think that a complete fresh install will be the best option.

Thank you!

I want games and programs to my htc wildfire s Version 2.3.5
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
I can't figure this one out. I have a H830 running 20i non rooted.

Sometimes incoming text messages don't trigger the vibration. The screen comes on and shows the pop up message. It just doesn't trigger the vibration. I have no problem receiving messages. They just don't always give the vibration alert.

It's intermittent with no pattern. Sometimes it'll work while the phone is in a deep Doz sleep. Sometimes it won't. Sometimes it'll work when the phone is active with the screen on and sometimes it won't.

I have the problem on the stock messenger, Chomp SMS and Next SMS. (Not running them simultaneously.. Stock SMS is disabled. Only one 3rd Party SMS installed at a time. Same thing happens on stock with no 3rd party SMS apps). The settings in the apps are properly set to send a vibration alert. It just don't work every time.

Occasionally it'll even give me a super short single vibration, almost like a keypress vibration. That's instead of the 3 long vibrations pattern I have set.

I don't believe it's a hardware issue. The vibration motor works 100% of the time if I purposely trigger it by turning out 'vibrate on keypress' or turn the system volume to vibrate or run any vibration test. So the motor is fine. The controller is fine. It's just SMS's that don't seem to send the alert to the system to trigger the vibration motor.

I cannot figure this out. I've made the SMS apps persistent and allowed them to be ignored in the battery optimizations in case the app wasn't waking in time.

Any ideas?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Odie80:
Hey there,

I've just registered in XDA because I've no idea what to do and maybe someone with some knowledge could enlighten me.

The situation: I have an original note 7 on my hands and I updated it to "death update" and now I can not use the phone even if it's plugged in.

The question is: is there any chance to make a downgrade to the phone? I've tried to boot download mode and recovery but there is no answer.

If I change the battery to one from a S7 edge for instance, is there any chance to make it turn on again?

Is there any other solution to turn it on?

Thanks a lot for the help

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] xreflection:
Hey guys,

Recently, I've been having issues with my fingerprint sensor/unlock screen. Sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and attempt to unlock the phone witht he fingerprint sensor, it won't respond. I then press the power button, which turns the screen on and when I use the fingerprint sensor, i can feel the vibration from the button but the screen does not unlock. There is also no fingerprint icon at the bottom. I can't unlock by swiping and putting in my password either. This eventually fixes itself after 30-45 seconds, but its really annoying when I want to use my phone. I've tried switching launchers, thinking that this might have been the problem, but this did not fix it.

I'm running stock OxygenOS 4.1.6, kernel 3.18.31-perf+OnePlus@ubuntu-64 #1. I'm using the google launcher currently.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Vivasanti:
Its something to do with the light sensor cause i have it happen at night time when i am listening to podcasts in bed, it comes up to press one of the volume buttons and back to bypass it - but after 10 seconds it lets you unlock it anyway?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] AndyPhoenix9879:
Pocket mode, try turning that off. Pocket mode uses the proximity sensor (I think) to detect whether it's in a pocket or not. If it is, then the fingerprint scanner will refuse to work so as to prevent accidental touches in the pocket
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] xreflection:
Turned it off last night. It's still happening. And it happens even when the phone is sitting on my desk. I go to try and unlock it and it won't respond.3
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] moSess:
Delete and reset them. I find it happens after a month or so of use. I'm on Sultans marshmallow.

Originally when it happened I thought the ROM had gone bonkers and flashed back to stock. I missed the battery life too much on the CM13 build so I tried his marshmallow again. And guess what? It happed again. So I just deleted them and reset my fingerprints and voila! Snappy again.

Let me know if it works for you!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] SRKR08:
Just delete your current fingerprints and reset them. Should become snappy once again.

Happened to one of my friends and that's how I fixed it for him.

for root over zip dont use latest supersu pakage because you will only get root without system e.g. root directory so u r unable to uninstall systemapps like many google apps you dont use like hangout, google search bar, play music, play video, play books, e.t.c. ;)

Hi, I have two questions,

1) Is there anyway to completely disable the on screen keyboard? We have wizard, we don't need it? It bugs me alot, I hate that unwelcome keyboard popping out from nowhere. Could any body suggest a way to pull it out from its root?

2) Could there be a way of Powering On the Wizard when we slide it open? That sure seems to be difficult, rather perhaps impossible as no program is working when its off, so no program can actually detect its slide to do some action.. I have no idea... If that's not possible, can we possibly have such settings applied to the wizard that it does not switch screen resolutions when its slide is opened or closed? Because sometimes I make some settings which look good in landscape, and when I slide it close, those settings are either lost, or start looking very stupid in Portrait mode.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Couple notes.

1. I don't have firmware update zips yet. Unfortunately, I think the different models will need different firmwares. Though, I may still be able to make that one larger zip. Not going to happen real real soon because:

2. I soft bricked my darcy (2017 emmc model). The official build didn't boot for some reason. And using the controller to get to fastboot isn't working. I have a message out to one of my contacts seeing what can be done. The official build works fine on my sata model, and my side builds worked on both. So, I expect it was just a fluke, but if you're on the newer emmc model, might be a good idea to make sure the controller works in fastboot before flashing.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] dk1keith:
So this does work on the Shield Pro 2017? I already have unlocked bootloader and I can boot TWRP. Also have Supersu installed. Also is it rooted? Sorry if this was already answered in the thread.

thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] ahoslc:
Any big bugs?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
It works on all models, and there is no difference between the old and new pro models. Su is not included, same as other Lineage releases. But there is the official su addon zip on the download site.

Big bugs? Guess I didn't copy those from the old thread. Only thing I know of is Netflix. Having so much trouble making it happy... Finally gave up and pushed official anyways. Won't even run on most models, and while it does run on the new emmc model, the video stops playing after a few seconds. The only other thing I know of is the annoyance of pairing: have to have a controller hard wired on first boot. Then after the setup wizard you can pair a Bluetooth controller and everything works fine.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] dk1keith:
thanks for the reply. and I take it Su is flashed in TWRP? Do i do a factory wipe in TWRP before flashing Lineage?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Yes, Lineage, su, and gapps are all flashed in twrp. You will need to wipe data and caches when flashing Lineage for the first time. Internal sd can be persistent, though.

Game stream works fine. I test with Geforce Now, but game stream uses the same thing. Just install nvidia games and it will work.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] dk1keith:
Gave this a try. It flashed fine. Flashed Lineage, gapps and Su. All seemed to flash without issue. Only problem was user error. I flashed the wrong gapps. Should have flashed X64. after reboot couldn't see Google Play Store. I was able to pair the remote and the controller with very little problem since I already had a wireless keyboard attached. I went back into TWRP to flash the correct gapps and that is where things went south. TWRP for some reason was having a problem with mounting partitions. I couldn't even restore backups I had in TWRP. All this I'm certain was a result of something I did. I was able to finally get back in and restore a previous backup. Scary stuff though. Gonna have to pay closer attention when I try this again. At one point TWRP even said no OS installed. Everything seemed to work as it should other than my few fumbles. Looks really promising. Great work

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] so the original Shield Controller is working? I'm asking this because I was not able to pair my shield controller with my shield tablet (I'm using your official LOS on shield tablet too).
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
No it doesn't. The old controller is wifi direct, not bluetooth. There is a way to manually pair the controller using adb or a terminal emulator, but it's not at all user friendly. The new blocky controllers are bluetooth.

I'm still working from time to time to try and get the official pairing app to work for the old controllers, but there's some hook loading code that Nvidia hasn't released yet and I haven't quite reverse engineered either.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
To everyone with the WiFi setup issue: this is because the firmware on the device is too new for the current Lineage builds. To fix it right now, you would have to flash the staging blob from a 6.x factory recovery image. However.

I'm going to be pushing in the updates from stock O this weekend. The build on this upcoming Monday will work as expected. It was also do more firmware checks to make sure the installed bootloader is compatible with the update getting installed. For all commercial satv devices, it will flash the correct bootloader when needed, so no extra actions will be needed to keep everything in sync.
