Hi all,

sorry if this already have been covered somewhere else but I did a search and couldn't find any solution...

I am using Google Sync for my contacts and every time I resync(after hard reset or ROM flash) my contacts are removed from HTC Favorites.

I think this is because the contact in the phone needs to be part of the group/category "HTC Favorite" but because Google Sync only support to sync the "My Contacts" group the category is never transfered to Google.

Anyone that has found a solution for this?

Cheers

Jonas
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, I seem to remember doing this with Microsoft Myphone.
[HD2 General] igotdatglow:
I've been trying to make this phone play nice with Google, not working out well for me :(

Best of luck, I wanna sync my contacts too buy I'm afraid of having this very issue.
[Nexus One General] Austin021296:
I bought my nexus the day it came out and the market was OK it had a few decent games and apps but i looked through a lot of the games today and there are tons more, and alot are from iphone developers, that i remember seeing when i owned one. Still the graphics are not the best but there not terrible either. I think we will pass the app store in 6 months to a year what do you guys think?
[Nexus One General] cymru:
I think the google store should be regulated like the iPhone store. The android one is full of crap e.g. Babes Collection 15 or whatever.

Its just ridiculous, there are afew hundred worthwhile apps on the android store, the remainder need to be purged and the developers making them banned.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
This is exactly what needs to NOT happen. That is what makes the iTunes App Store suck balls.

What the Market DOES need though is a better method of users to down vote, or remove apps that are spam.
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
I use AppAware to keep up with the app trends. So far, so good.
[Nexus One General] Austin021296:
I agree all of the sound boards and porn apps need to be removed and it would help the market alot.
[Nexus One General] thisguy10:
yeah that would be nice.
[Nexus One General] SurrealNetworks:
Its about choice...

You and I may not care for the abundance of soundboards and porn apps, but some people do. Regulation is not the way to go in an open market. Imagine if someone decided they don't enjoy programs that you do and some how got them removed. Not so fun to ban programs now, just vote with your dollars and reviews. Google just needs the ability to sort by user rating.
[Nexus One General] mgymnop:
Totally agree, censorship would be bad and doesn't belong in a liberal democratic society. Filter instruments to get rid of all the stuff that somebody doesn't like is the better way. If you censor who decides what is appropriate or not? I don't like all the religious programs from all kind of Christian cults in the android market, do they belong censored or banned, no. Let me filter them out and I am happy :-)
[Nexus One General] manderson8898:
I agree that the market is going out of control but rather than some third party playing god or other supreme being I would rather see better filtering abilities on the buyer side. These along with voting and review tools allow the buyer to control what they are looking for and filter out the stuff that starts to glob up the works.

just my $0.02 worth.

[Nexus One General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Uhh the iTunes App Store is perfectly fine. There are some apps that would've been nice to get through but here on Android we can install randomass APK files that aren't on the market. So I welcome better regulation on the Android Market. Clean out some crap.

If the developer really wants to push something, you can still get it off market. After all isn't that like 90% of the content that's on this forum anyway? Off market apps? :D
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
The same can be said of the Apple App Store... maybe a couple hundred truly good and useful apps, the rest are just filler fart noise apps, and what not.

There are good apps, there are bad apps, there are personal choice apps. I would rather have an open market and the ability to install whatever I want than Apple's version, where it is highly regulated, you can only load what is in the app store, and what is in that app store must fit Apple's agenda.
[Nexus One General] Zuber:
I don't see why apps can't be better categorised and better categorisation inforced.

Users can then choose to see/hide see items in particular categories (e.g. Porn or should I say Adult since porn is supposedly already banned). Perhaps even age rate apps.

I have to be careful letting my daughter play with my phone. She want to see apps suitable for her. It shouldn't be necessary for her to become really savy about how to filter etc...

My other gripe is why Google don't offer the 'option' of requiring a password to purchase...

Zuber
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
I don't want anyone telling me what I can and cannot have on my phone, so the app store is way better than apple's.

Still, better categorisation and search options should become available. You should be able to search by rating, price, downloads etc. The categorisation is sometimes silly in that twitter apps are either in 'communication' or 'social'.
[Nexus One General] minogue:
I Believe a "show by Rating" option would be the best choice:)
[Nexus One General] andythefan:
+infinity

hahah
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
another +

dude, i just said the same thing a sort by rating would be epic.

They should do what Engadget does to comments. If a app is so bad it get down ranked into oblivion lol, j/k but the first idea should stand.
[Nexus One General] rori~:
There are porn apps??..missed that :D :D

But seriously, sorting by user ratings is quite easy to manipulate, isn´t it ?!
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I actually think that is an EXCELLENT idea. It's kind of what I was talking about, allow users to down vote apps and hidden from regular view. Or maybe have a "spam" rating or something that would hide the app from view with enough spam votes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] autonomous-inc:
Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't been quite sure what the difference between 25xxx, 23xxx and 21xxx ROMs are.

Anyone care to elaborate?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
I believe it's based on your current OS. 21xx would be WM 6.5, 23xx would be WM 6.5.3, and I'm not sure what 25xx is.

Don't quote me though, I may be wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stunno:
I think they are all windows 6.5.8 the 2**** is the manilla version

23*** is manilla 2.5 (with the 3 shortcuts on the home page)

21*** is manilla 2.1 (without)

2.1 seems to be a bit more stable than 2.5 and have older apps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
I'm not sure about that. I'm running 21895 and have the 3 shortcuts plus weather integrated with the home screen.

For example, NRG has multiple 2.5 ROM's. One is 21xxx the other is 23xxx. I believe you're correct in describing the different versions of manilla though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zelendel:
The 21xxx, 23xxx 25xxx are all different builds look HERE for more info and HERE

Mk, all I needed to know. Thanks zelendel.
[neoTouch S200 General] wysxs:
I use Arto 1.8 in my S200, but I suspect the problem maybe in other ROM too.

When FM tuner works, If I terminate FM tuner by task manager or AE Button Plus, etc, can't hear anything when FM tuner run again.

It should be the FM device can't be used if it doesn't close normally last time.

have to hard reset my S200 and reinstall OS and apps to fix it.

There are other way to release FM device and don't do hard reset?

Thanks advance.
[neoTouch S200 General] wysxs:
I backup system files with spb backup, then did a hard reset to reinstall clear ROM.

after that, FM tuner works. then I restore system files from backup. FM tuner no sound again. looks like the problem is FM files broken.

anybody know what files FM tuner use? I don't want reinstall all my games and apps. just want backup FM file from clear rom, and copy back after backup utility recover my system.

Thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
i've just tested, either AE Button Plus or task manager to close FM, then turn it on again, FM works fine as well. i don't know why.

ROM: Arto's sense 1.8 (23549 with manila 2012)
[neoTouch S200 General] wysxs:
it should be one FM file broken or registry value wrong. but not sure which one. I just hard reset the phone and reinstall all apps, FM tuner is fine now. This is the third time I get FM tuner wrong. I will backup current ROM files with spb backup to make next reinstallation easy :o.

Thanks for your reply and test.
[neoTouch S200 General] Urluc:
Hi guys, after trying to use BTFM radio as in another thread, I found that I cannot hear any sound neither with FM tuner nor with BTFM... To say the truth I've never tried FM tuner since I installed the rom 3.003c_IT. FM tuner worked fine with the previous original rom and I wouldn't hard reset my device... Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
[neoTouch S200 General] slash_5150:
^sorry i cant help but i had the same problem too with the 3.003c rom then i flashed back the 3.003b rom and my fm tuner worked again..
[neoTouch S200 General] Urluc:
I managed to make FM Tuner work... It could seem stupid but was enough to change volume level from the windows bar: suddendly volume reappeared!:eek:
[neoTouch S200 General] tom68:
thank you, that solved my problem with the fm tuner too!!!
[neoTouch S200 General] riotman:
hey check out“ acers homepage there is a fix for the no sound problem concerning the fm tuner
[neoTouch S200 General] BS3001:
I solved the problem, see next page!
[neoTouch S200 General] BS3001:
Hey! I had the same problem and now it works!

Thank you very much!
[neoTouch S200 General] andremales:
i use Arto's Manila ROM, and i've found a very strange thing about tuner: when Sense is active, the tuner is mute. It's sufficient to disable Sense to get radio working again..... :eek:
[HD2 General] jsoldo:
Couldnt find this on the search...

I was wondering how to add a shortcut to device lock on the home screen like on the Energy Series Rom.

Thanks!

Jon
[HD2 General] jsoldo:
Found an exe on here called "LockScreen.exe". That does the trick.

Also found "DeviceLock.exe" but that was erroring on unlock.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormmaster1:
I am currently using a cheap little Virgin mobile phone and I pay $20 every 2-3 months, but I just got a G1 and I have been flashing all sorts of roms on it and love it, but my question is what is the cheapest service plan? I make 2 minutes phone calls maybe twice a week and send maybe 10 texts a week so I really dont need much I just need cheap and I do not need data(well to be honest I just cant afford it) So what plan would you guys go with?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kainzo:
Why would you get a g1 if you don't have a data plan? Come on!

I'm not sure.. though I heard of an app on iPhones called Line2... it works as the "provider" for the phone and I hear it was cheaper than AT&T's rates.

Google for g1 line2 or something or consider Google Voice.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
That is absurd.

With all the free wifi's around, unless you need push email, there is no sense in getting a data plan.

@OP: What country/city are you in?
[HD2 General] VeEuzUKY:
After many weeks using my HD2 without any issues, suddenly the fonts of all my start menu shortcuts and folders got very small. No system setting I try to apply seems to change them. I also tried several apps to control font size (ING Font Change, etc) and it changes the sizes of all the fonts on my systems BUT the ones in the start menu that stay small. Is there a way to fix this?... cab with stock fonts, reg mod, or how can the font size be repaired to its proper size again?

Screens attached. Thanks for the input!:)
[HD2 General] lquigley:
Fonts

The only fonts I've changed were in settings/, personalize/, font size/, Sorry thats all I've changed. It changes in some windows apps.
[HD2 General] VeEuzUKY:
Correct, that changes some fonts in ceratin windows apps, tool and title bars but not where I needed it. There needs to be somewhere else where the info of these fonts is stored and can be changed!

I think a better questions is if any one has even gotten it working yet.

Works fine in DarchLegend 4.2.2 and v5.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brian2220:
:confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zippy-man:
At this point in time it only works on a legend based rom.

It has dependencies within the sense UI that only a legend rom has
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
over the weekend me and obelisk gave a shot at trying to get friendstream. I tried deodexing the friendstream.odex

I'm still trying it, but i have to figure out getting the smali files reassembled.

no guarantee though
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cmccracken:
Friendstream is part of HTC's closed-source, proprietary Android add-ons just like SenseUI. It is HTC's intellectual property, and it is most likely a copyright violation to distribute it (i.e., illegal). That being said, its in several of the ROM's being distributed so you're not the only violator. I have not seen a precedent of HTC issuing DMCA takedown notices for their closed-source bits, but Google has issued them for closed-source Google bits (Gmail, Youtube, Maps apps). Tread lightly.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
java -jar smali-1.2.1.jar "output folder" -o classes.dex

(Make sure you remove the quotes. That command will reassemble the .smali files into a classes.dex.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
tried that. didn't work right.

:(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CEspaillat:
Anyone get this working yet? we should change the title of this to W.I.P. FriendStream... lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
I already have a deodexed Friendstream in my legend rom, if you want it. The real problem is that sprint hero doesn't support opensense plugin. we may need to port that from the legend roms onto sprint roms
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CEspaillat:
How would we go about doing that... i'm in on helping, i have limited skills though. But i'm gunna start learning... lmk
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormmaster1:
I knew bit torrent and Steam were blocked, but today I found out that Android app downloads are also blocked! Does anyone know how to get around this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
Do you mean on wifi?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormmaster1:
Yes

Yes that is correct.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
That's the problem. They have stuff like that blocked on wifi. So you'd need to use data.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormmaster1:
Sadly I do not have data.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
Looks like your outta luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I have the solution... ready? GET DATA! :rolleyes:

Damn... what were you expecting? A "hack" by a vpn workaround or something?

A way to change the ports of the connecting apps to the internet?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You need to set up a VPN on the outside and connect to it.

If they block typical VPN ports, then you need to configure your VPN on a non-standard port.
[XPERIA X10 General] TakenName:
Is it not that good, or is it just me?

Everytime I take a picture, the camera freezes when saving the picture,

Problem is.. the "frozen" image, is slighly before the actual image which is saved..

Most of my picture so far, are blurred...

Id sort of expected that this camera was lighting fast, but so far it dosent seem so....

On the other hand.. My hands are constantly shaking, and that dosent help much.

So anyone here with steady hands, who takes great pictures, and its just me whos a bad photographer?
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
I could post on saturday. since the stores are closed aswell as the postal office now in the easter. and I won't be home again untill friday.

But I could post some so that we could compare when I got the phone in my hands. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] TakenName:
Lets do, Ill be here all week :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
I am really interested in how the picture quality will be compared to the X1 and the Magic. If it is anything like either of them, then I hope the Magic.

It is such a shame that I can't get it now, when it is in the mail. but I am just to far away from home at the moment :/

it really sucks tho
[XPERIA X10 General] hampan:
Tip for non blurry pictures, use touch focus mode - works very good here.

Seems to focus better and you don't risk rocking the phone because you press the camera key.

Otherwise it's as with all mobile phone cams, the sensors and optics are limited by size, so of course you get better pictures the more light you have.

I find the camera very nice in comparison to my N1.
[XPERIA X10 General] waleed786:
My pictures turn out just fine. maybe a blurry one once in a while but nothing to complain about. Try turning on the image stabilizer
[XPERIA X10 General] TakenName:
Image stabilizer!!!! Why didnt I think of that while checking in the settings....

Not the pictures are actually good... Strange thing now, when I click to take the picture, it freezes with a blurry image, but the actual picture is great!
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
here is some pictures that I've taken today can be found here.

I might upload some other pictures later. but we will see.

I do not think that it is that bad, it is better than the X1 camera, and I do think that the picture quality was slightly better than the Magic camera aswell.

The only thing that I can complain about with this phone would be the battery I guess.. It could have been better. but I tought the same thing about my x1 in the beginning, but now does it last 2 days some times.

2-3 hours when I am teethering the network and downlading with torrent on it tho... but that is things that takes alot of battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] l4rsh:
mine freezes with a blurry image aswell. not sure about the actual quality since ive only seen them on the phone itself.

ive got another question tho, does your camera in macro mode make noise when pressing the button halfway(focusing) its like a loud click, very mechanic sounding?

id say the x2 had a much better camera so far
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
The loud click is from the autofocus and it is normal!
[XPERIA X10 General] l4rsh:
allright ;) coming from an iphone without autofocus so i didnt know that, cant remember the x2 i had for a week having that sound though.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
My X1 has the same clicking noise. It's just not that loud. But hey, it's not the same camera either. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] charbiwala:
flash

hi . i juz bought an x10, howevr i am a little worried about its FLASH. is it necessary to swtich on the photo light and click pics? if not then from where do i change the flash settings
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yeah. You have to turn on the LED in settings before it's usable. I've read that it's a limitation in 1.6 but I don't know really. Seems to work great on HTC Legend with 2.1 though.
[XPERIA X10 General] dubdec99:
Yeah, what is the flash like on the x10? Is there a flash????
[XPERIA X10 General] l4rsh:
theres no flash, only a constant light that will blind you! :o
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yeah, that's true. But I've never really felt the need for a good LED flash, i just use it as a flashlight. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] dubdec99:
How would you rate the camera then?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
I thought the camera in the X1 was pretty good actually but the one in the X10 is insanely great! The image stabilizer is just GREAT! I don't know how I could live without it with my X1! The image quality is great too! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:

[HD2 General] bhuwan1990:
as the title suggests, what is ROM flashing?

Does it make the device run smooth? or any gud?

i am newbie here i looked around the forum and everone is talking about flashing ROM this and that.

i sound noob but yes i am about this whole flashing things.

lately i found my hd2 very laggy and slow, i have to reboot it every now and then.

can anyone help? please. thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
In brief

the 'rom' is the whole system. Windows mobile, the pre installed programs, all the settings and tweaks that your operator includes, all of that is rolled up into one big file, and that file can be 'flashed' to your device. The first time it boots after a flash, the rom will automatically install itself onto the device, and it will be like the first time you started your phone. (Just like a hard reset would now you are already running)

Chefs can take all the various components and 'cook' their own roms, maybe leaving out some of the unused stuff (like co-pilot), maybe adding things that aren't in the original rom, plus tweaking the registry and the like for speed, stability, looks etcetera.

So, different roms give different results, some are super stable, some dont have sense, some are based on windows mobile 6.5.5, some 6.5.3, and others 6.5. There is pretty much a limitless ammount of differences, so don't bother asking ''whats the best rom?'' try some and pick what works for you.

Most rom threads have screenshots and descriptions to give you some idea what they are about, and you should ALWAYS read ALL the first post (and usually 2,d and 3rd too) in any rom thread before you flash.

EDIT - Once you flash a new rom, whenever you jard reset you will still get the new rom. Your original tmo instal is GONE.(However you can download it and flash it back, just like any other rom, so no worries)

Just a stupid hair-brained theory but did anyone notice HTC decided to use a HVGA screen after MS said that WM7 would be on WVGA & HVGA.

Just seemed strange because as far as I know there hasn't been any HVGA HTC phones

Tbh, I've never even seen one including other brands lol, I'm sure there will be though.

Just becuase they could have used VGA, it has a bigger screen than the Diamond & that's VGA.

Sorry for this thread again in another forum :P
[HD Mini General] hoss_n2:
may be,,,,,,,,:cool:
[HD Mini General] ohyeahar:
Sure, HTC have made HVGA devices.

The Dream (G1), Magic, Hero, and Legend all have HVGA screens.
[HD Mini General] donald-c:
I meant on Windows Mobile :P
[HD Mini General] mightymn:
The hardware in the photon isn't a snapdragon and MS has explicitly said that WP7 is currently only possible on snapdragons (driver concerns). So no, I don't think it will be possible to put WP7 on it.
[HD Mini General] dcarr622:
I agree it's an interesting choice, but until we know if WP7 can run on devices under 1Ghz, we won't know if that's why they did it.

Otherwise though, why downgrade from VGA? I suppose so they could share panels with the Android devices which are mostly HVGA.
