[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfulford:
Re: Specifying Google Contact Groups for Sync (2.1)

I've searched around for this, but have come up empty handed. I upgraded last night to the Eris port of 2.1 and am very happy (compared to previous occasions where I have spent about 2 hours on the upgrade before restoring my nandroid backup)

However I can't for the life of me work out how to specify which groups are synced with Google Contacts, in 1.5 Sense UI I could just go to Groups, Sync Groups and select away, however this doesn't seem to be present in 2.1, the issue being as soon as I send an email to an address that isn't in my contact links it will create the contact for me, which is highly annoying as my phone book is now full of bogus entries!

So has anyone found out how to do this? I'm still searching around the menus and forums but if someone has done this already or knows it's not possible do shout!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
I am also looking for how to do this. I lost a lot of contacts when I upgraded roms.

Luckily I found them on an old PC and synced with Outlook to get them back. I want them to be synced with google, but when I go through all the options in the contact that isn't a google contact I can't make it so.

Anyone figured this out yet?

I am on villain 3.4

1. Change Preferences

2. Show GPS Status

3. Configure

4. Select Other Bluetooth Receiver.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Forcystos:
I have debian running on the moment. There are absolutely no problems with it, except I cannot get root. Due to the way Android assigns uids to all apps in a sandbox, I can't change the user id. Instead it gets the id of the app (terminal in this case) it runs from, and cannot be changed. Are there any workarounds? I thought about editing /etc/passwd, but since I'm mounting from an image (which is read-only), I can't write to it, except if I extract and recreate the image, which I have no clue on how to do. Tips?

I was browsing Craigslist today and saw something that made me laugh hysterically, and I thought some of you other N1 owners would find this funny as well:

http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/mob/1625777504.html

He's baiscally trying to sell unlocking services for iPhones, and has some screenshots attached of an iPhone skin to make the phone appear to be a Nexus One....

:p
[Nexus One General] GNOve:
whats so funny about it?
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
I'm shocked there is a Nexus One theme for the iPhone. Maybe I shouldn't be...:o
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
There was probably a Nexus One theme for them before the Nexus One was shipping.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
Maybe this is what Steve Jobs is so mad about. He can't believe people want to make his device look like its something better than what it is :p
[Nexus One General] superGOAT:
The only thing that makes me laugh is how ridiculously horrible the theme actually is. Most of the iphone themes look semi-decent.
[Nexus One General] kam187:
I have a feeling he's going to get alot of prank phone calls :P
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
Hey, I was using the Hero theme on my 3GS for a long time.. My iphone was always an Android wannabe :D (thank god I now have the N1)
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
i actually find this hilarious lol...you got all these fanboys bumming off the iphone...and then you uncover that deep down in their hearts they wish they had the nexus. finally the time has come when instead of people saying 'oooo thats like the iphone'...the tide has now turned to 'no wayyyy...thats like the nexus!!' haha...classic
[Nexus One General] di2356:
teehee. whose jealous now, *****es?
[Nexus One General] mesajoejoe:
I find it humorous that people in these forums go out of there way to bash another phone os. I came from nextel i836-> i850-> i870-> htc wing-> g1-> mytouch-> N1. I have never owned an iphone but I have used them, and I find very simple things on it such as smooth as hell scrolling, and when jailbroken all the little customizations are indeed awesome. I would never own one, but to sit her and bash iphone users, owners etc... is just plain sad. My N1 is not soooo far superior to iphone that I should just laugh at iphone owners and say they are jealous of my "wonderful" "beautiful" "amazing" N1. I love my phone and I love using it, but seriously guys seems to me you are insecure over something lol
[Nexus One General] mesajoejoe:
I doubt that will ever happen considering the amount of people on this earth that actually know what a Nexus One is. N1 is a phone-enthusiast phone, Iphone is a every single person on this earth from 10-70 years old uses it

Sad but true
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
lol yeh u are right. i hope it stays that way too tho. i wouldn't want to get on the tube and everyone sitting next to me has the nexus. if i meet someone else with a nexus i wanna be able to ask them 'what kernel are u running' instead of 'what does your lock screen say?' :p

and i wouldnt say anyone is bashing. and if people are, i wouldnt say they are going out their way, iphone bashing is in quite a lot of peoples way lol
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
That looks hideous. I admit, though, I didn't realize a jailbroken iPhone was that customizable. But still ugly as sin. Ew, that resolution.
[Nexus One General] CodeMonkey:
Quite a few people have recognised mine - "oh, is that the Google phone" - and shown a fair bit of interest.

I've always been a bit of a gadget freak (before the Nexus One I had Palm Pre, Htc Magic, G1, Nokia 6610....) but now I've found my personal ideal mix of currently available hardware & software I'm happy.

With the iPhone Apple hit the sweet spot for a lot of people. That and a strong brand identity let them sell a smartphone to a lot of consumers who wouldn't normally have looked for a "smartphone".

I suspect that this year will see a lot of mainstream consumers picking up Android devices - all it needs is some solid carrier backing.
[Nexus One General] di2356:
One day, i noticed a kid on the subway staring at my phone while being with his friends. after 20 minutes he apparently loses it and he screams "OMG NEXUS ONE!"

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
for the sake of simplifying my phone, I removed all the tabs and kept only the following:

1. Home

2. People

3. SMS

4. Calendar

5. Settings

Now I see that my battery life is almost double than before.

wow!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jdwilson:
That is an interesting observation, and I think I will try it. Have you tried adding the tabs back in to confirm? How long before someone asks for a .cab file?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jngtt:
u will be suprised LOL

thanks for the tip, since i dont really use those tabs much might as well get rid of them
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dirk:
Remove Sense completely and benefit even more :D

I know some people can't live without it though. Anything that saves power and makes the phone more responsive is a good result.

Well played!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
i would...but i dont find titanium smooth...

another note..i have 4 email accounts incl. 1 ms exchange..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] djg269:
The reason why is simple

When u place the tabs Pictures and Music they will take up memory because they keep searching for music and pictures
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
memory consuumption is no different. still 60% or so with no open apps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mitsi:
That's so funny :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
i think i missed this...i also disabled the ambient light sensor. that maybe the reason for longer battery life.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] georgeono:
how do you disable that? is it the automatically adjust light from battery settings?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
Right. I set the brightness min/max permanently insteadof "autmatic".
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mpathan:
My internet connection was always on and I generally charged my phone via the computer using the usb lead.

Hi, is there an application wroking on HD2 or PC that allows to extract the icons in .PNG format from installed app in HD2 (form their .EXE file, of course) as well ad directly from a .CAB file? I've tried TF3D Extractor (or something of a kind, I don't remember the exact name) but it doesn't work for .EXEs.

Any idea?

Thanks and regards

Andrea
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
IcoFX 1.6.4. It can extract from exe-files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
I use MSCEInf for extracting CAB-files. You can find it here. It is really an useful tool.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the dragonlord:
Ehm....I need icons contained in .EXE files or in .EXE file contained in .CAB files, but I'll give it a try
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rat_2665:
You can take these two together. IcoFX can't extract from cab-files but from all exe-files (also windows). You have to take the extract function in the program (for the icon of the exe). Then in a second step you can export your picture as a png-file from the new icon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] the dragonlord:
I've tried it out and it's exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks mate!
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:

CDMA Hero - 1.5

CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1

CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1

Motorola Stock

Samsung Stock

There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety! :D

Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!

Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!

Updates:

Included additional sounds from here

Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files

Download
[Hero CDMA General] x99percent:
There is no need to put the files in /system/

You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.

This is the only way I've found that works completely.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.
[Hero CDMA General] rockcrawler:
There is no zip posted .......... if you want to email it to me I would be happy to host it for you.
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.

Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

Woops! Fixed now, thatnks for pointing that out!
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
system has some limited space thats why i would recommend not putting it there.
[Hero CDMA General] ktynchy1:
Im sorry but i tried to do it your way and you're right they don't show in the music app but i cant find them anywhere on the phone.

PS: I know how to push files and it did
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.

Did you reboot after pushing?
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.

I humbly admit that I was wrong :) This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.

First post edited with new directions and .zip.
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. :) You're the man!
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|

Ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
[Hero CDMA General] mrglimm:
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??

I have a hd2 and sync my calendar with outlook and I also use htc sense ui. Is it possible to have an appointment in my calendar but hide it from the today and lock screen? I've tried privacy settings etc but it still shows up. Googled this alot and found nothing!:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
No, this is not possible as far as I know.

I don't know a solution for this, but what you can do is setting up an alarm, which almost does the same as an appointment. You can add a description, etc, but it'll only show up when you want it.
[General Questions and Answers] siobhanmt:
thanks. I'd like to be able to keep a record of the entry and not sure setting an alarm will help with this.

I am seriously considering buying the HD2 when it comes out this month. I have the G1 and there is an android sms app called Handcent SMS.. I love this app, it lets you assign a different ringtone for every contact. I know all phones let you have a ringtone when a contact calls you, but this app lets you have a separate ringtone when a contact text you.

And this app lets you have a background picture in the sms window for each contact also.

Is there any type of app like this for WM6.5?

I bought an unlocked HTC touch pro 2 that was with T-mobile.

I have AT&T. My phone works good for calls and text messaging but the data plan does not work.

I called AT&T and they cant help me.

I called HTC..can't help me.

They both said to call T-Mobile and ask them to reset the data options because my phone is trying to read off of the T-mobile options but what that amounts to is that they just don't know what they are talking about.

My friend said this site will have the answer!

Can anyone..please..point me in the right direction on how to set up my phone so I can use the data plan for AT&T or am I screwed??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Rhodium500:
Are you looking in the registry at your arcsoft settings?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
My understanding is that the T-Mobile phone has different hardware modem. It will not work with the AT & T 3G network. Sorry, there is no way I know of to fix this. The two carriers use different technology for 3G.

However, it should work with the EDGE network on AT&T. You will need tech support from AT&T - ask them what settings need to be entered in the connection manager to get the device to work with EDGE. Your phone has settings for "T-Mobile Data" in the Comm Manager. You need to delete that and enter the AT&T settings.

Also, VERY IMPORTANT, you need to go to the phone screen (where you dial calls), bring up the options, and set it to operate ONLY on 2G networks. Otherwise I think the T-Mobile 3G modem may interfere with your EDGE data.

BTW, have you asked T-Mobile about getting a Tilt 2? This is the same phone. You could resell your unlocked T-Mobile TP2 on ebay and recoup a lot of the costs. This would be the best option, since you could then get 3G coverage.

I have a WM 6.5.3 device with a 3.5mm headphone/mic jack. It obviously accepts input through that jack and I was wondering if I could somehow connect my mp3 player to my phone using a male - male 3.5mm cable and an app that will play everything that comes through the mic input through the integrated phone speakers? I see that my headphones equipped with a mic have an extra contact, so I would probably just have to cut them open and splice a male 3.5mm connector onto the end that usually has the mic/earbuds.
