[HD2 General] Fana7ic:
So Im syncing from my HD2 to my mac via Sync Mate.

I added all of the contact pictures on my HD2 with help of the Sense´s facebook integration.

On my mac these contacts now have either old pictures which I added manually on the HD2 before or no picture at all.

This makes me wonder:

Doesnt Sense write everything in the outlook contacts, and if not can I make it do that?

I think it really sucks that it doesnt use normal contacts and just does it its own way.

On a slightly related note:

When I look at facebook pictures of my friends in the contact tab in sense: Where exactly does sense dump these images? Im asking because if I look at them again theyre still there and dont have to be redownloaded.

Hope you can help me.

I saw in a former Post here d3sm0nd had started that a Skype Application was available to Android, but only for Verizon Customers. He later stated that we could use Market Enabler to change the values and allow us to use Verizon Market. How is this possible and can somebody help me. I always thought it was cool to get Verizon Applications, so can anybody help?

Here is the original thread;

Hi,

yesterday I wanted to install a theme from CMUpdater (had the latest CM running) and when my G1 wanted to boot it hung up on the T-Mobile G1 screen, reacting on nothing. After like 10 minutes i took out the battery and started in recovery mode and tried to load an old backup that I made a few months ago but this didn't work. Then I just wanted to install an old CM version that was still on the SD-card, but it always says installation aborted. Same goes for data wipe or if I want to apply any other zip from sd card.

Is my phone bricked just because of that stupid theme? Can anyone help me to make it work again? There should be loads of guys that know A LOT more about custom roms etc here ^^

thanks

if you can get into recovery its not a brick. Can you wipe from adb? I would try wiping from adb then flash a defanged rom (the one in cyanogen's wiki) and then flash the cm rom of your choice.

Hi,

i'm looking for a HTC-device with android that support an external Keyboard per (micro)usb or wireless?

and it's possible to use an usb-hub with an external mouse (and keyboard)?

I know, that the windows-mobile support an external Keyboard.

If any android-htc-devicd support an external keyboard, i think i take not windows mobile.

(windows mobile not support native apps, the support for firefox mobile was ended, and i think i buy only one windowsmobile-phone, the HD2, but i have later the problem to switch. i think i will never use windows mobile 7)

Does any one have problem with sync contacts with gmail account?

I have contacts in my phone. How to synchronize them with gmail?

Mail is synchronizing ok, but contacts... :(

When i tryed new rom-s i must sync with my PC all time, but i want to back them in my phone from gmail. I's it possible?

TY
[Click General] sushi1234:
You first need to enable the contacts sync. -≥ Go to Settings - Data Synchronization - Google and put a checkmark on Contacts.

On your phone, if you go to contacts, you see on the right side of the contact's name the word phone(this means the contact is a phone contact) You have three types of contacts - phone, google and sim contacts. All of your contacts need to be google contacts, if you want to sync them with google. You can probably manually convert every single phone contact to google contact, but that would take a lot of time.

So to speed up things, you need to do this:

You need to transfer all your contacts to your computer, Outlook or such. Then delete all your contacts from the phone. From outlook you need to export all contacts to the .csv or .vcard file. Then go to Gmail and import all your contacts from .csv file. Connect your tattoo to the internet and again go to settings - data synchronization - Google, press menu and choose Sync now. It will then transfer all your contacts from gmail to your phone. Then all your contacts will become google contacts and you will be able to sync them with Gmail.

In the future, when you create a new contact on your phone, be sure to select google as type of the contact to be able to sync it with gmail.

But be very careful with this, make a backup of all your contacts before you do this.

Bye

My contact have letters: š, ć,.. and few more letters that show ? ? instead of š, ć when i'm export contacts from outlook.. I's there any other way to convert phone to google contacts? TY
[Click General] sushi1234:
I did a bit of research on this and there seems to be no other way to convert contacts from phone to google...i found this answer from htc on one of the forums:

HTC >>There is no default setting to always store a contact as google.

If you wish create a contact save it as google and create another one, if its set to google already then it does remember if not then you'll have to do this manually.

Unfortunately it is not possible to convert all contacts to google ones, it can only be done by re-adding each individual contact.
[Click General] dejandekic:
In phone or SIM?

Just make sure you enable the sync in Settings as noted above and enable background data; every contact should be then synced between server and phone (but I'm not sure about SIM contacts, probably not) when you go online with your phone.

Many of my contacts even have Serbian Cyrillic letters (абвгдђежзијклљ...) and everything works just fine, no matter if they were created in Google Contacts online (www.google.com/contacts) or in my phone.

However, I haven't try sync between phone and Outlook because I use Ubuntu and Google Contacts only ;)
[Click General] sushi1234:
Dejan i have tried this...i created a phone contact and tried to sync it with google and it doesn't work for me....the contact needs to be a google contact. But for the ščćžđ letters, yes gmail supports them in contact names, sorry for misleading you.
[Click General] liderzre:
I solve problem.

With program expcontacts export all people to sdcard in csv format.

Delete all contacts from phone.

Import csv file from sdcard to gmail contacts.

Sync contacts with gmail.

;)
[Click General] sushi1234:
Great workaround Liderzre, skipping the whole outlook thing, for the people who don't use windows and outlook or for the people who don't want outlook to mess up letters čćžšđ in their contact names:)

[HD2 General] Balerathon:
As the topic states, is there an easy way to eyeball a ROM and know if it will work with the TMO USA 1024/578 HD2?

Any advice would be appreciated (I'm sure a lot of us are wondering!)

Cheers,

Bale
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
im fairly certain by logical deduction that any rom will work fine, as long as you read the radio requirements carefully.

i deduce this because:

Telstra HD2 is different model number to EU HD2 and roms are interchangeable

TMO US roms work fine on the EU and Telstra HD2

and im sure i saw a post where someone was running a cooked rom on their TMO US HD2

but dont take my word for it, its just logical thinking :)
[HD2 General] Balerathon:
I tend to agree, however the HSPL cookers made a rather big note about compatibility and as someone who isnt exactly fluent in all the jargon yet I find myself wondering.

Also, the TMO USA HD2 has totally different specs than the EU version and so that might cause mem allocation problems etc...
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
yeah i just read the warning too, so ignore my comments :)

its better to be safe than sorry! :D
[HD2 General] Cotulla:
Really, not all ROMs are compatible.

During testing, not all ROMs working...

This happen because 2.XX ROMs have additional stuffs (like 1024 Mbytes NAND support), while 1.XX ROMs have not.
[HD2 General] Balerathon:
OK so it is a case by case basis and we will just have to try and see or have the chef let us know?

I assume that if I try a non-compatible ROM, my HD2 will just hang on the loader?
[HD2 General] govindar77:
FYI .. I just had a good friend load a non compatible ROM on his TMO HD2 and it is as dead as a fish outta water .... Won't boot at all ....completely out of commission.

So I'm waiting until someone specifies if a ROM is compatible ...
[HD2 General] Balerathon:
Thanks for the report :)

Good to know there is an easy way to know if a ROM will work or not (instead of having bugs and errors crop up on a seemingly functional ROM.

I think I saw EnergyROM is compatible. He just has to upload the file to his host. I'm going EnergyRom w/ CookieMonster when I get my phone :)

[HD2 General] xspeed9190:
So are you saying that we should be safe with 2.xx roms for Tmo US or should we just wait and see if we can get a working list going. I would say we should start a list thread but i know if i do i wont be dedicated to keep it up if anyone wants to take that on.

Thanks for the replies, but it's not quite what I am looking for. I already use the widget ghostrida suggests, but really I want a way to either change it directly from the home screen or even better a way to change it using locale or something similar so when I get home and am on WiFi, the phone will automatically switch to 2g networks saving my battery - especially as I have poor 3g reception at home.

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronpaws:
What you could do is create a contact with the number mentioned above and add it to your homescreen as a widget. If you want to get really in depth with it, you could add a picture of something that would signify edge for you (i.e. a 2g icon or something) and it would show up like that on your homescreen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsvnet:
Setting it as a contact doesn't work, ive tried that before.

closest solution is an app in the market known as phone info

I use an app c alled switch network type 2g/3g it's not quite what you're looking for, but instead of being a widget it shows up in the notification bar only when you drag it down. it doesn't automatically change it for you, but it also doesn't take up a spot on your homescreen and it's available anywhere the notification bar shows up.

Hi All,

I've gone up and down the threads....thought I might possibly be using the wrong key words. Background to my question...I'm always exchanging files on a usb stick via a netbook. Is there any way in which I could use my HTC LEO to read/transfer files to a USB stick instead of using a Netbook/Notebook?I know a USB stick needs at least 5 volts.....

[HD2 General] aceo07:
google maps does require data connection. I was just mentioning it since I can change the gps settings there. I vaguely remember that those settings work, so you can try it in your gps program if it doesn't detect automatically.

I used Telenav on my TMOUS HD2 5 minutes after I got my phone and it worked fine without changing any of the settings. I have a dataplan on my phone though.

Is the AGPS service on your phone on? Try turning it off.

Its in settings>Location>AGPS Service.
[HD2 General] tomX2:
i have agps off. i am under the impression that agps uses data (i have no data plan) and of course, do not want to use data. according to wikipedia: "A typical A-GPS-enabled receiver will use a data connection (Internet or other) to contact the assistance server for A-GPS information". i'm going to call t-mo usa on this.

i can get the software to find my location (using agps) but this phone has a stand-a-lone gps radio and it should work without any assistance from anything other than the satellites. my tytnII did. my feeling is that it's my phone, it's my software why should i pay someone to use it? especially when it was designed to work independently, until the phone companies figured out a way to charge for it. in addition, when i'm trekking and there is no tower, the very reason gps was invented is rendered useless.

anyone have any experience with setting up their hd2 with gps (not agps), using any of the standard softwares? i.e. tom tom, iguidance, etc. i pretty sure this is possible, but hard to find information on.

thanks

[HD2 General] mystik610:
There are plenty of other GPS apps that should work with the HD2 that don't require a monthly payment. I'm only using Telenav through the 60 day free trial, and will cancel it afterwards.

Tom Tom, iGo 8, and Navigon all reportedly work for the HD2. You will have to pay for the software and maps, but otherwise there are no monthly expenses. From my understanding, they only require data service if you're using something like traffic updates, or if you're using a trial version and they need use the data service for verification purposes.

I've not tried any other GPS software other than Telenav yet, but I see no reason why they others shouldn't work.

So, I thought I backed everything up when switching from 1.5 to 2.1 leak. Then I realized that the apps I had paid for while running 1.5 were "lost". I put that in quotes because maybe Im not looking in the right place. If I go from the 2.1 leak to the 2.1 OTA rom from HTC, will I be losing my paid apps? Is there a way to backup and reinstall these apps on the OTA 2.1 rom? Thanks for the help.

Also, certain apps like Bank of America and Lookout no longer let me log in. Any ideas on what I did wrong?:confused:

If I'm not mistaken, the only security on the market is that the apps are not accessable to non-root users. Since you were unrooted, you couldn't have copied them.
