Hey guys, just thought I'd share with some of you that are sick of tired of the quality that Google syncs contact photos to our HD2. This is what I have set up in the interim until there's a better fix. A bit tedious to setup at the start but at least no more crappy quality photos.

1) Sync all the contacts from Google Sync to your HD2

2) Backup all your contacts using PIMBackup

3) Uncheck "Contacts" on Activesync on the phone for the Exchange (you will lose all your contacts)

4) Restore all your contacts via PIMBackup

5) Reassign all those nice photos back to your contacts

6) Set a schedule for PIMBackup to periodically backup up your contacts or any new ones

7) Everytime you flash your ROM or every so often eg. monthly, just re-enable "Contacts" in Activesync again so it can sync with Google.

8) Wash and repeat

This is what I have found to be the best solution to date anyway. If any of you have better ones, please share :)

Hi, I am trying to get my BMW bluetooth to work with TG01

only the phonebook transfer work correctly

Jetware 1.4 did not improve anything

Please help anyone has their TG01 working with BMW?

UPDATE 2010/03/29

a half solution is to start the car, then turn the BT on the phone, then it works perfect.

the reason why his is a HALF solution only: next time you start the car you have to start BT on the phone again ( I am used to have my BT working 24/7 )
[TG01 Accessories] (InsertNameHere):
You could always buy a more expensive phone to go with that expensive accessory

Only joking
[TG01 Accessories] kevinpwhite:
Not BMW, but I have it working perfectly paired with my Ford car system. So I'd suspect is most likely a settings isue one side or the other rather than anything fundamental.
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
well I have noticed that it works well with newer idrive models, but mine is 2005 MY so no idrive and no luck :(
[TG01 Accessories] souljaboy:
ive also heard alot of complaints like this ... not being able to read phonebook

ill try today in 2008 toyota
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
or no, the phone book is excellent :o

it is not being able to call or receive calls what bothers me

and as I said, it works with newer iDrive BMW :cool:
[TG01 Accessories] souljaboy:
oh , calling/recieve works for me .. radio fades out and its good

maybe u should try bmw forum ?
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
Yes, I have tried 2 bmw forums, but they do not know about WM 6.5 much :)

this is my first WM phone, all the other phones worked in the same car.

I managed now to get sms to show on the screen of the car, but calls is more important

people here in HD2 forum said they exange some big (5-6 digits) number in the registry and it works for them, but I am pesimistic about this because they have different BT stack, right?

HD2 - widcomm

TG01 - MS
[TG01 Accessories] souljaboy:
well it never hurts to try , just make sure u can undo it .. tho if the regkey contains "htc" somwhere it most def wont work

I have downloaded a utility for enabling rSAP profile on our phone - it did not help...I then disabled the rSAP and a miracle!!!

I managed to place 2 calls already. I hope on next connection with the car it will still work
[TG01 Accessories] youbrokeit:
what is this miracle program which lets you enable the rSAP? I need it too!!
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
search this forum "rSAP"...but before you do a short update:

of course on next connection, nothing worked :(...and I have updated to the new rom and did not install rSAP and I was able to obtain the same result...this means it has nothing to do with my previous success

this situation is driving me grazy already...I do not know why sometimes i can get it to work perfectly by just switching BT on and off.

today i have wasted many hours just turning it on and off trying to find the rule, working combination - so far it seems to work at random :(

and if I get it to work it works for the next call and the next...until I get out of the car. when I start the car again it does not work r-r-r...how can I take a "snapshot" of the phones state when it is working and somehow replicate this state every other time I am in the car?!!

please help me
[TG01 Accessories] souljaboy:
try resetting ur phone , sometimes it wont pair with my bt headset nomatter what i do but a phone softreset fixes it
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
a SR does indeed fix it, but only until next disconnect...when I came to the next day it is the same story again :(

I refuse to believe that this just a normal thing for WM (although having for the last couple of years only blackberries, I miss their stability and auto on/off function) ...even WM cannot be THAT glitchy :confused:
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
anyone? :confused:
[TG01 Accessories] a_petrov303:
I think I am onto something here:

if the BT is switched on after I start the car, everything works perfect!

the only inconvinience now is switching BT on/off for each jorney (especially annoying during short trips with short stops - to the local shop, post office etc)

yeah it would be nice to have it as a skin for swype, coz we could use it in any rom.

[General Questions and Answers] Degtine:
Hello there,

I have problem with my screen alignment.. ASUS P535. It repeats again and again.. I updated my ROM and nothing happend. Then I've changed digitizer on my LCD. It worked, but for 1 time. When fresh copy of ROM started. Screen alignment was correct. When I've got loaded my WM device restarted and asked to align screen. And nothing happend. And it again repeats.. What should I do now? Maybe is there a way to upload screen align file direct to my ASUS P535? Or any other suggestions..
[General Questions and Answers] x51:
This happened to my bother-in-law on his omnia. he had it replaced 3 times. 3 devices, 3 bad screens after a few weeks each. The alignment was way off, and if he hard reset.. he got stuck on the alignment screen and could not go past it.

Tapping all 4 corners and then the center should all line up perfect or it will repeat until it's right. If the screen is messed up.. (Not registering the taps accurately) this would cause your problem.

I know you replaced your digitizer, but I think you have bad hardware.

did you notice the screen was not accurate before this happened?
[General Questions and Answers] Degtine:
Yes. It was not accurate. Half screen from top was accurate, but other half not.. I had to tap screen ~1cm lower to hit correct 'button'.

Ok.. If hardware is broken. So then which part? Or just I'll take my device to pro to fix it.. :D If it will be possible..

I also used Remote Screen Alignment software. It solved align problem, WM is working, but everywhere I tap, it taps bottom right corner. :mad:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rlobianco:
Hi, if you use the ADB Setup that Moosefist posted you can use this method to shortcut the way you copy apks to your backflip. My method just uses a shortcut that you modify and put in the SendTo folder. Once you do that you can just right click on the file you want to upload and select Send to > Android.

Here are the instructions.

To make things easier you can just create a "Send to Android" option that you can right click on the file you want to send.

First create a shortcut for adb.exe then edit it and add install right after the file name. Rename the shortcut to something like Android or Backflip.

You can find a ss here http : / /cyberpods.net /android /shortcut.png

Then copy the shortcut to the "send to" folder. In windows 7 its in

C:\Users\%userdir%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

another easy easy way to find the sendto folder is to type shell:sendto at the windows 7/vista run prompt.

once you have the new shortcut in the sendto folder you should be able to just rightclick >sendto > android to copy the .apk file to your backflip

I hope this helps some of you.. It sure made my life easier :)

Backflip DEAD. HELP :(

Can somebody help me.

I accidentally flashed a wrong ROM for my Motorola backflip.

The Rom was supposed to be flashed in a AT&T backflip.

And now, I can't turn on my phone, even the white motorola screen was not available. But the three buttons below was able to produce vibration when pressed but no light.

What can I do?

A friend of mine told me that I can use adb to fix it, but I don't know.

contact me please :(

Hi first post noob here, never tweaked any of my phones so Im brand new to roms and generally anything to do with phones so bare with me if my questions sound daft, Im hopeing someone on here might have a little patience for me :)

I have spent the last couple of days reading through various posts and stickies and like some of the screen shots I have seen, now this is my first question if I am looking to upgrade the ROM which would be a good reliable starting point? I just want to put a little colour into the screen of the HD2 and have a quick stable phone, nothing flash just want to learn to do what you guys are doing little by little.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
If you're asking what ROM to try - don't. No one here can tell you what to use as it's choice. Try different ones, but make sure you read THIS thoroughly before doing anything
[HD2 General] Ninhydrin:
thanks eddy, more reading me thinks before I start doing anything daft.

Just another thing though I have just got my HD2 from O2 online am I right in thinking it will be locked and I need to use something called gold card when Im ready to customize my unit?
[HD2 General] Smokie365:
Hey

Mine is 02 branded and I presumed it was locked, But apparently there not.

Either way it can be unlocked in seconds....

I also went with the official new rom for the phone. I think out of the box has a specific 02 rom with certain things disabled..

Graham
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Best thing is to try and put a non-o2 SIM into the phone and see if it takes it. If it does then you've got an unlocked phone so can download HTC updates from them directly as they come out. If it doesn't it's a SIM (and likely ROM) locked phone. You can still flash non-o2 ROMs but the SIM lock will always be there unless you get then code from o2 to unlock it.

Don't use the Gold Card method, it's old. Just follow the HSPL instructions in the thread I linked to and that will allow you to flash any ROM you want - stock or cooked.

There's no substitute to reading up - do lots of it, read the sticky threads and make sure you know what's what before jumping in. Probably best to look into stock ROMs first. Find out what ROM you're running at the moment and if your phone is unlocked go for the latest from HTCs website (assuming you don't already have the 1.66 ROM) (to find out what ROM you're using, go to settings on the slider>About phone>software information)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonasback:
Hey!

I've noticed that in a few applications (or settings) i have issues with my touch-input. This is e.g when changing the default ringtone i can't just tap "ok" but have to press the "ok" button from the side with my whole finger, otherwise it won't be regocnised. Sometimes when using the keyboard, the buttons on the right side are very hard to use. That would be the "p" "l" and "backspace". Have anyone else had this problem? The weird thing is that sometimes it works perfect, but sometimes it's just a pain in the ass to get things done?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I think sometimes the touch screen can just not work properly, just luck of the draw I guess.

Has yours always been like this or is it a recent change? I am assuming its always been like this.

if it has then its a hardware failure (most likely) and will need to go back under warranty for repair.

If its a new change, then what has happened to cause it? Could just be a new rom or something causing the calibration to be off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonasback:
It hasn't always been like this. Lately it has begun to screw with me. And i don't think it has anything to do with luck, since it's always the same programs that do this. e.g. changing ringtone, accepting the google maps license on first run etc.

One could think this is a hardware failure, that's what i thought at first, but the strange thing is, that the same "area" on the screen works prefectly in other applications. I've tried several roms, but they all act like this. Perhaps I should install the stock rom and try with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guanarteme:
I have a similar issue, and even more, sometimes once I am pressing the screen, the keys are starting to "dance" like the hero is trying to think which button to choose, by itself, and I am watching it, and smiling :-(

I've had it since SenseHero 1.5 and others as well. I just reinstalled the official htc rom and calibrated again the screen... but I am afraid the issue is still there, though less frequent...

Next week at the doorsteps of Orange I guess :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Possibly is lag related?

Maybe the phones memory management is not working very well on the ROM you have installed and is causing large amounts of lag that the phone is interpreting touches (or not touches).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guanarteme:
Possible, But with all the speed tweaks, task killer and stuff, maybe even the overclock widget that I started to use only after this issue appeared... don't know, have no idea how to solve it.

Now it is like beginning, with official htc rom, no additional apps installed neither contacts, and still, I have this issue.

Suggestion?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalmitkaese:
Got the exact same problem.

Almost exclusively buttons on the bottom of the screen and as you already said the right part of the keyboard (especially the goddamn backspace drives me nuts sometimes!).

It hasn't always been like this, started somewhen after flashing more than just Modaco I think.. And the severity varies a lot, sometimes I got barely any issues and then again I can't even finish an sms. Unnerving.

At htcpedia someone who obviously has the same problem pm'ed me his solution:

I think - not sure - it startet with some lox rom for me too. Do you remember which Rom you were using when this first occured?

Well anyway, might give it a try.

I haven't tried it yet for 3 reasons:

1 - the link for the german version of the original firmware is down

2 - i don't have a windows computer, so the .exe is pretty much useless for me

3 - I'm way too lazy as currently it's not that bad
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehet:
same problem

hye there, I seldomly post here..

But i got the same problem before... keyboard dances, hard to click OK... could not finish a sms without swearing F*** F***..

yep, its a hardware problem.. maybe its bcoz of the shape of the hero making its touch screen easily damage.. Not sure though..

flashed so many roms, to try to fix this problem.. thought it was a software issue.. but.... nothing..

went to HTC care centre.. and changed the touch screen (warranty, had to revert everything to stock) and now...

Good as New with Villain 3.4
