[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Looking Glass:
Sorry to post a similar thread to others that seem to have no solution.

I posted this very similar question when I moved to an S-III 4 years ago:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/character-limit-contacts-notes-field-t2440978

I dropped Samsung devices al along in favour of LG, but recently I got a Note 8 from my provider, just to discover that Samsiung keeps doing the same weird thing of limiting the number of displayed and editable characters in the contacts notes field.

In the long time gone era of Windows Mobile, it can be fixed in the registry (not a big deal), but I've found no way to do that in Samsung Devices (my S-III question thread explain how LG solution is different, and workable).

3th party programs are either limited or incomplete, and are not a real solution to this stupid limit. Furthermore, some are limited themselves by dessing in other áreas.

I got the same problem. I sitched all my contacts (3k+) to Google Contacts and I use Google Contact app on my S8. My contacts are still accessible in Samsung Contact and in Phone app. Everything is good. Note that I also use it in Dex mode that is my main work station. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Looking Glass:
Mmmmm

Do I understand that you can import your contacts to the phone via Google Contact?

And do you mean your contacts are displayed and editable in full length (notes field included) in your native Samsung phone contact App?

Just sent my Note 8 back to Samsung for this reason.

I have no way to check it now, but would be extremely surprised if this worked.

I would appreciate if you explain exactly how you made it.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Paperless:
In the native Samsung Contact app (Phone), note feild is displayed and editable only to 1000 chars.

In Google Contact app (must download), note feild is unlimited. You can also dial from Google Contact app. There is an option to transfer contact from Phone database to Google Contact Database, both online and on the phone. Then In Samsung Contact app you can see Google Contact. But do not edit note feild in Samsung app if over 1000 chars, you'll loose them!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Looking Glass:
Thanks for explaining.

So you have to rely on Google Contact for Samsung devices NOT loosing your valuable information.... and still if you edit a contact (even by mistake) in Samsung Contact App you will again loose your data....

Mmmmmm

I'd rather stay away from Samsung until they overcome this stupid limitation.

Not to mention that I don't feel confortable having my full contact data in Google hands...

I'm a real fan of My Phone Explorer Sync App: neat, clean, and privacy wise.

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] holidayaddict1:
Hi, i'm not sure where else to ask about this one. I remember many years ago there was a mobile phone manufacturer (poss LG or Samsung) that had a mobile phone with what was known as Living Wallpaper. What these did was show a landscape (like a city) and this would change based upon the status of the phone. I remember that the signal strength was represented by how cloudy it was, that a new SMS would have a plane going across the sky, and that there was also a hot air balloon would appear with another status.

Can anyone remember this phone? I know it wouldn't have been an android phone as it predates it (Don't think it was a java phone either).

It'd be a great idea to adopt to the latest phones if possible so that we could see at a glance the phone status in a different way
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] MT91:
Dates & times (like "monday" or "tomorrow") will be underlinded in text messages

Hello everyone,

When i open a text message from someone on my Hauwei P9 Lite and there is a date or even just a hint of a date ("monday" or "mon" or "tomorrow"), it will get underlined in blue like a hyperlink. This is to let me "easily" create a new appointment in my calendar. This also happens when I create a new note.

But I don't like that. It will just make the text unreadable for me and it is distracting. I don't use the stock agenda, so I don't need this suggestion of dates.. Is there any way to turn this option off?

I don't know if it is an android 7 problem, or an Hauwei P9 Lite problem, but it is frustrating as hell.

Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] _Frostplexx_:
I don't think that there's a option for that. But you could try to use for example the official google messaging app and see if there the date isn't underlined.

Hi there ! I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F . I Was trying to root it. So I downloaded Odin. And TWRP for my device on pc. Followed the tutorial. Odin said successful. But I could not go to recovery mode or system I had access only to Download mode. Then I tried flashing a BL file which I could, im 2nd attempt. Now my phone can be booted in TWRP or Download Mode but It would not boot to system. I tried Wipe all data in TWRP and then reboot but It gets stucked on starting screen with

Go to updato.com. Download the stock firmware for your region. Flash the files using the latest version of Odin. Profit.

Ok I was trying to change the buttons with the skin provided earlier and this is the result. I am using a VGA device any suggestions??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
Hey I extracted these from the .cab. Overwrite the Png's in the gfx folder it should remove the top curtain.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RDD:
Decided to make something myself,

I don't have a program yet to do a screenshot,

but here are the files.

I found most buttons on deviant art, so credits go to those guys,

just resized them and stuff like that + made the volume, trackbar, shuffle and repeat icons white instead of blue.

stbutton can also be used with S2V (+stbuttonL) and S2U2

So there you go

Let me know what you think.

Maybe I'll post up a screenshot later,

or you can... :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RDD:
Small changes + screenshots now...

As you can see, also to be used with S2V and S2U2

S2P: Just put everything except stbuttonL in your gfx folder

S2V: stbutton + stbuttonL in your gfx folder

S2U2: only stbutton in your gfx folder

Enjoy

Ok I tried your skin and like everyone else's besides the original it over expands the the top two buttons?? I am using VGA.... but the original works so I am trying to find out what is different between yours and the original?? Maybe someone can explain or provide insight?? Anyone else with VGA experiencing this??

Which files do I have to delete to remove the curtains?

Unfortunately I have to say, that the transparent buttons do not work with S2U2!

Hey this is a little off topic but I wanted to know are you using a script to upload your album art and if so where can I get it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] baudac:
Somehow only the bottom curtain is removed, and unless I'm mistaken, oddly the top curtain is not removed but looks more bold/defined. The only thing I can think of is the size of the ablum art image. All of my album arts are set at 190x190... ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
The way S2P is set the Black part will cover the song info... Also the top curtain is gone in your screenshot.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lesscro:
By the way, it s not my possibility... i make a skin... you need search in registry a tweak to display duration bar all times...

Hi,

So i picked up a Mate 10 pro earlier in the week from Vodafone (UK) and have had a lot of trouble with notifications not coming through. I experienced the same a while back when i had a P9 a recall it was to do with the overzealous battery management in EMUI. With EMUI settings being different to that of the version on the P9, i've forgotten the steps that i need to go through to ensure that i get notifications from each app.

I've just switched back from a iphone 7 which "just worked" so hoping someone can help me!

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem, but for now I noted it only with Calendar application.

Notifications appear randomly, but most of the time none.

For now I "fixed" it with installing Today Calendar from app store, but I would rather enjoy in original application.
