You can try with MSWord.

if I double-click on ".PWI" file, it opens MSWord, but MSWord does not open the file. But if MSWord is already opened you can open manually the ".PWI" file (Menu File -> Open -> "InkWriter/Note Taker" (*.pwi); or simply drag and drop the file in MSWord window). Probably MSWord runs a warning that must use a plugin with security issues, but (if you know the source of file) you can answer YES then quietly open the file.

My experience is with Word 2003 only, but I suppose that it's work also with other version.

Try and good luck. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
Hi,

One thing I really dislike on Android, is the very little flexibility on contacts organization. I can't seem to figure out a good way to organize all my contacts.

I have 2 problems with the current contacts organization:

Problem 1)

I like to have a contacts database with ALL my contacts and on that database I like to have the persons first and last name. However, for some of the contacts, I don't want to have their name displayed, I want to have something else instead; like a nickname for instance. I can't do what I want because of two simple things:

a) Google Contacts does have support for a "nickname" field, but Android doesn't. At least not on my Hero... I'm not sure but I believe the 2.1 ROMs already support this field if I recall correctly from the last time I tried one.

b) The People app on the HTC Hero (and probably the stock Android one but I don't know for sure) does not allow me to pick what I want to display as the contact's "name", if their real name or the nickname.

If these 2 things were possible, my problem would be solved. I could have my contacts database with their first and last names, but also with a nickname for some people where I could pick which one to display on my phone.

Problem 2)

My full contacts database on Google Contacts, includes every single person I ever contacted in my whole life since I had a mobile phone. Well, not exactly every single person cause I lost a few numbers over the years. But I have a big collection of names and phone numbers of people that I no longer can associate a face with or don't get in touch that often anymore.

However, I don't want to delete those numbers, so I know who's calling/texting/whatever (if that ever happens or if I need to contact them). But I also don't want all of them displayed on the main contacts list (People app on my case). Only a few contacts are the most important contacts to me, my family, closest friends, people that I get in touch from time to time, etc... Those are the ones that I wanted listed on the phone so I can quickly find one on the list if I need it.

Basically, I just want to hide a few groups of people from the main list. I still want/need them on the phone in case they call or I need to reach them (like I said above), but 95% of the time, they are cluttering the contacts list.

Now, it doesn't help much but, for those "less needed" contacts I placed them on a few different groups than the other "most contacted" contacts.

So, does anyone have any suggestions to help me fix, or at least workaround these organization problems? Does any one face the same or similar situations?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
No suggestions, anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
Too complicated request?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danwar:
aContact or Dialer One

This two app for contact maybe help you.

Not in evere question, but for me are very usefull.

You can switch betwen "saved" contact and all collected contact (google cont.).

aContact is for Android 1.5

Dialer One for Android 2.1 (1.6...?)

[HD2 General] sohail92:
Hi,

Bit of a noob, so im unsure what to do. Im currently using a custom rom and I have HSPL on my phone. Is there anything I should check before I upgrade to an official rom from the HTC website? Or is it fine to just go ahead and do it?

Thanks

Edit - some more info

when i press volume down and the power buttonn the information i get is:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

Cotulla HSPL
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sure, just run the exe and flash over usb.
[HD2 General] sohail92:
Thanks a lot for the help, just didnt want to mess something up, haha
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no worries.the fact that your spl shows HSPL means that over usb, even if the flash fails you can just boot to bootloader and flash again, no problems.

I came across this post on PocketNow.com:

http://pocketnow.com/software-1/a-very-cool-backup-feature-to-debut-on-htc-desire-and-legend

Nice ... nice ... nice ... :)
[Desire General] irkan:
great, .. but considering that it is a "phone" wouldn't it be wise to back up the "contacts list" also? like thumbnails, emails and other info about the contacts.... and calender? Lol
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
http://contacts.google.com/
[Desire General] gogol:
If you have Microsoft Outlook, you can use "HTC Sync" :)

http://htcwiki.wetpaint.com/page/HTC+Sync
[Desire General] irkan:
it would still be useful if we could back calender and contacts into SD card :P
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
You can save your contacts from google contacts to your PC.

If you were to wipe your phone, the phone would just sync the contacts back from google contacts anyway so it would be pretty pointless.
[Desire General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'm not exactly sure how it looks when setting up contacts, but always use google and not phone. All contacts and calender events are then saving to your google account, whicj can be accessed from any computer. If you switch phones and it supports google, you just reenter your info and WaLa! you have your contacts and calander back on your phone. That is why they are not saved on SD Card---And you are more likely to erase data on SD Card then from google.
[Desire General] irkan:
i see your points, am used to nokia devices (old nokia devices) so was thinking from that perspective

thanx for clarifying though!
[Desire General] gogol:
When using this backup feature from HTC, it will automatically backing up when there is a change. From the HTC Desire user manual:

My question, is there any option to automatically backup on specific time of day? like midnight ... Or a widget to launch / execute the backup process manually?

Because I don't like this kind of automation, I am afraid it will drain some more battery for unnecessary change check.
[Desire General] rollercoastervj:
my question is how to restore from this backup? for e.g restore internet bookmarks?
[Desire General] magickiller9:
When will it be arriving?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
didn't this feature stop working with FroYo?
[Desire General] 3722:
Right.

HTC said that google was the reason for this function to be canceled as I remeber. I think el goog wanted the backup to be made only on their servers or sort of that.

You can still find a backup from the day you installed 2.2, it will be too old though.

I used eWallet Pro with Windows Mobile. It worked great for sync-ing your passwords between PC and phone. I hoped they would develop version for android (just like they did for iPhone and BlackBerry). But they never did.

I looked for other alternatives with same functionalities. That's where KeePass came. I could export/import everything from eWallet to KeePass. Then got KeePassDroid from the market and copied over the database to SD card.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
I have used used KeePass for many years.

As soon as I found it was available for Android, it continues to be the first app I install/reinstall after every ROM switch.

Any thoughts on the best books and/or online classes to learn Java and Android developing.

There is one Android class at a UC school by me but it is $650 for like 6 meetings.

Thanks:)
[Android] magicdroid:
1) Best source to get started with Java: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

2) For Android, check out "Busy Coder's Guide To Android"

It's not free, but it's not expensive either ($40 for 1 year subscription and updates).

You get 3 books: basic & advanced Android, together with a tutorial.

If found these books very informative and it helped me alot during my first Android application.

Covers up to Android 2.1 API.
[Android] brummiesteven:

The first book above is now into it's second edition which is obviously the one, of the two, to go for given the rate at which Android is changing. I've just bought that & the last edition of Thinking in Java.
[Android] Chapell:
Two more great books, they are very good, from the basics up to professional. They are updated with Android version 2 so relatively new:

Apress' Beginning Android 2

http://apress.com/book/view/1430226293

Apress' Pro Android 2

http://apress.com/book/view/1430226595

Oh and Java books are not so mandatory because Android is not REALLY Java, it's Google's own implementation, the basics are Java, but almost

everything is possible without knowing Java and reading these books.
[Android] cauli:
The principal programming language for Android is Java. What you mean perhaps is that Android doesn't use the common Java class libraries such as AWT & Swing, but rather its own.

To code effectively you must understand OOP, the Java language & Android's class libraries. There's no way around that.
[Android] Chapell:
Yeah, I know that the programming language is Java. What I mean is if someone has knowledge about OOP and has experience with other programming languages (C++, C#, etc) there is no need to buy a book about Java. Just learn the syntax in 1-2 hour(s). During Android programming you'll be using the Android's classes almost all the time, so it's not the same like really programming some java app from the beginning.
[Android] mytharak:
Here is a good set of video tutorials targeted towards programmers that provides a quick down and dirty intro to Android programming and concepts.

http://android.voxisland.com/

I find the biggest challenge having never really learned Java much is learning the Android API. Coming from C the syntax is very familiar.

This is stock with the exception of an insecure boot image (for adb remount) and the addition of the su binary and the Superuser APK!
