Finally, it was much easier than I thought...

First, you have to select all your contacts (at symbian) and sent them via bluetooth to your android device...

It sents them one-by-one.......

When all done, you have to go to your android device contacts-menu-Import from sd....and select "All vCard files"

It will import all contacts to your android contacts storage...

***

if you can 't see your contacts after this, you have to go at your contacts menu-display options and tick all the boxes that are associated with your google account....

***

That's all....!!!!!

(if you want now, you can delete all files at "bluetooth income" folder)

[Desire General] superior89:
hey!

just one short question that bothers me as a potential desire buyer:

is it possible to disable ALL camera sounds - i.e. sound when focusing as well as when taking the picture?

i'm asking because my former mobile (nokia 6220 classic) had an excellent camera but you could not get rid of the annoying sounds! (the official reason was "to protect other people's privacy")

i hope somebody can clearify that for me,

thanks in advance

superior89
[Desire General] beaker656:
yes you can.

Whilst in camera in the settings there is the option "shutter sound" on / off
[Desire General] alex101uk:
im surprised that it is that easy to turn off. your old phone and many of mine dont have the option to turn it off because in some countries it is the law that a camera phone must make a shutter noise.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
But we are not in "South Korea or Japan"
[Desire General] superior89:
alright, thanks a lot!

i guess this is the ideal smartphone for me...
[Desire General] irkan:
I thought its just for novelty effect, the sound that is, Loooool, nasty South Korea and Japan xD
[Desire General] alex101uk:
yes but if they roll out the phone across several continents they may not want to make several different revisions of the camera app to comply with local area law.

Will the Stock Boot Screen 1.5 .zip work for the 2.1 roms?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] atoz350:
I don't see why not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilbob01:
Hi Just followed the wonderful instructions from

"Sticky: [Walkthrough] From stock (1.5) to rooted 2.1

ivanmmj" Thanks!

After I was done and installed any root app it would request su access but the screen would be blank no choice to allow or deny.

If this happens to you do not freak out there are some simple solutions to try first

Turn on USB Debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development

connect your Eris to your pc

Try running a root program it should prompt you with buttons now.

If you still have issues try running an ADB command and check for root again.

Hope this helps someone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Turn on USB Debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development

-->CHECK USB DEBUGGIN<--

Try running a root program it should prompt you with buttons now.

Fixed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
It should actually be in the FAQ or official guide.

EVERY TIME you flash something new, unless the ROM is specifically already set up (many will be),

you need to use adb to 'su'.

Plug in phone. USB Debug > On. USB > Charge Only.

adb shell

su

or ./adb shell

su

allow/allow always.

Done.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gucci(G1):
Do you need to have a different sd card for root access? Or does the sd card that comes with the original G1 from Tmobile ok? Planning on rooting here shortly if you can use the regular sd card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
No you don't have to have a different sdcard. What the original poster is talking about is a goldcard which is needed for some rooting techniques. As long as you have a T-Mobile G1 and you are in the United States, then THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. Use your regular sdcard and follow the unlockr.com directions

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
I dabble in some programming, taking it in college now, but have little experience with linux and the like, so I don't know where to go from here. I found the files, I think, to modify so that the AOSP lockscreen will work. Found keyguard xml files in \system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\layout. Pretty sure these are the right files, as the images for the sliders is in this apk as well. And I know from a logcat that keyguard is what it's opening for the lockscreen. Only problem is, can't seem to view or edit these xml's in a readable format... tried three different editors. About to reboot into linux and try it there, maybe I'll have better luck. But thought I would ask here where there are people FAR more knowledgeable than I.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
They are in a binary format. I opened them in dreamweaver, and it still wasn't fully readable/able to be edited. you can use this to decode them to readable format, but I have NO CLUE how to get them back.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daryelv:
Use the AXMLPrinter2.jar to convert the XML files to a Text Readable format. Unfortunately, to modify the files, you need to use a Hex Editor to do any updates. I havn't seen any utilities that will read/write the binary XMLs, just read.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
I haven't had the time to look into this yet, but... Since the lock screen works fine in Darch's AOSP build, could it just be a matter of switching out the xmls?

Just an idea.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
WOW, if that's all it takes, someone should try it lol

Well I'm headed to class now, and have to study for a big big test tomorrow later, but I might find time, if someone doesn't beat me to it. Now I'm not all that familiar with the framework, but its just a brainstorm. And if the one in the eris leak works, then that xml probably has an even better chance playing well with the sprint build, I assume.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
hey... you can view and edit the xml on the phone with root explorer after you extract them. Then just copy to pc to rezip

also, when rezipping an apk, using 7zip, is there a particular setting? compression level, method, etc.

"Mobile Web" is the one you're after. I've never had a problem using it myself (so far as the billing goes), but keep in mind that if you start to take the piss (massive downloads and excessive usage) then they're likely to take notice. I've heard of anything from throttling to being told you have to upgrade to a 'heavy user' package at a higher cost.

I use mine regularly when out and about for basic stuff and there's no problems. Just don't try to use it as a primary internet connection and you should be fine.

Hi Just got my Desire today and being have a good play.. (Really liking it)

Has always there always a little learning curve with any new phone and especially when you move from a different Manufacture. (got a Omnia i8910)

Question re phone contacts.

Just had a few contacts (vcards) and a couple have a home & Mobile numbers. when i choose PHONE some are defaults to the HOME number and some to the Mobile. all fine i guess.

question is how do you select the other associated number. not the primary one?

contact x: primary Landline.. secondary: Mobile.

How do i call the secondary number (the mobile).

also . what the advantage of PHONE contacts & Google contacts?

before i spend ages updating Google..lol.. would presume Google contacts would have more features?

ta

and back to playing...
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
I have a very puzzling problem. When I first got the HD2 I installed a few cabs directly to the device. Due to this the device memory very rapidly became used up, which resulted in me having to delete some stuff and re-install to the 2GB SD card. Following this, I think I had about 25mb of free Device Storage on the phone. I now only install cabs etc direct to SD card, today I have roughly 1.4GB of free space on the card.

Imagine my dismay, therefore, when today, having installed 4 or 5 cabs, one being somewhere in the region of 44mb, I'm now completely out of device memory, even though I've installed directly to SD card. My device memory is now showing 0.00mb and I'm constantly getting the annoying 'low storage space' messages.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
edit: The 44 mb cab I mentioned has not been installed to phone as apparently it won't let me due to lack of device memory, even tho I'm trying to install to SD card???
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Also, when I go into Remove Program setting, all the cabs etc which I've installed from day 1 are listed there, no mystery there! Thing I don't understand is that they are all listed as being installed to phone internal memory. Even though when installed I specifically selected Storage Card and NOT device memory.

What's going on??
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Anyone got any info on this please?
[HD2 General] Bravoexo:
Does the SD Card have a program files directory, and are your apps there?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I'd very much like to point the OP to the EDIT button at the bottom of your posts... use that instead of spamming your own thread :p

Anyway, keep in mind some things:

- some devices come with a lot of useless stuff preinstalled, that steals precious internal memory free space

- some cabs may decide to copy their files over to internal memory even if you choose to install to SD card, depending on how they have been set during creation

- you can have a larger free space by flashing a "clean" custom rom, with base WM, manila, and nothing else, and easily add only the apps you really need (the rom I use in signature is one of those, unless you are on a 1024LEO in which case it would brick your phone)

- unless you install heavy apps (44mb is usually for bigdictionaries, encyclopedias, or images collections, in which case SD is the way to go) most apps SHOULD be installed in internal memory for various reasons
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Thx for reply.

Yes, and the files which I installed today, and now deleted, were in the program files on the SD Card, but it still impacted on device memory. I've now deleted the files I put on today but device memory is only indicating just over 3mb available. Prior to today I'm sure I had about 25mb free. Don't understand it??
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Thx for the above tip re: edit button. I didn't know you could use it to add to your own thread. I do now so won't be making that mistake again.

I take on board what you say and thx for your various points.

I just think that if you have an SD card, why not use it instead of cramming up the precious internal memory? Prior to today I had approx. 25mb free internal space. This went to zero internal space after I installed a few apps. I inadvertently installed one of the apps on to internal memory instead of SD card, so this would have obviously had an impact. The 44mb cab was the Ferrari GT game I came across today. In any case I've now deleted everything I installed today. But I now only have just above 3mb of free internal space even tho I've soft resetted a few times as well. This is what I don't understand?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
My current rom leaves 250+MB free after flash, just to give you an idea.

Internal memory is way faster than the microsd, that's why you want to install apps there unless they are huge. Anyway, since games are not usually ment to stay on the device forever, but more like until you finish them to uninstall, you could give them a go in the internal memory as well.

If you still have space taken after uninstalling, download and install totalcommander (to internal memory obviously :p) and check under \Program Files\ to see if there are folders of old uninstalled programs still in memory. If there are any, delete them.

If your stock rom is a bloated one from your carrier, take into consideration the idea of flashing a clean custom rom, if you have the means to reflash the original rom back on in case you ever need warranty servicing
[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
I'm on the stock UK o2 ROM 1.43 which is garbage. Still waiting for o2 to release an update:mad: My phone prior to this was the Samsung i900 Omnia which, once upon a time, I attempted to flash with the help and advice of some MoDaCo forum users. Basically I screwed up and had to send the phone to a Samsung Repair Centre. My point is I'm not totally clued up re: flashing/updating ROMs etc. However, I do realise at some point I'm gonna need to get my head screwed on and give it another try. If only to keep the phone up to date etc.
[HD2 Accessories] farshid.tavakoli:
This adapter can be used as an alternative for the USB-Host functionality but I was afraid the microSD part wouldn't be long enough to fit the HD2 MicroSD slot.

So I managed to get its microSD part length according to expansys' product image:

The length is only 17mm but the minimum length to get it work with HD2 must be 20.5mm. I used a calliper to measure that.

So, I was hopping anyone would come up with an idea to use this adapter with HTC HD2.

Please notice that the adapter price is £29 excluding the shipping cost so I prefer not take the risk to disassemble it for extending the microSD length if it isn't possible.

Thanks in advance,

shame though, the MicroSD port wont put out 5v 500mah :(

although its probably enough to power a CF/MSproDUO/XD type of reader for example to clear some space on your digital camera card without deleting images (or simply to view them on a bigger screen :D )

i THINK (i could be wrong...) a pendrive would require more nearer 5volts to work...

opened up my SDcard reader a few days ago, plugged into usb with a 2gb sdcard...it was pulling 3.4-3.6volts while accessing the card, which is damn close to the MicroSD maximum voltage...

push email is where as soon as the email comes thru to ur email client it will appear on ur hd2 its a big battery drain where if u set it to check every hour or 2 it saves alot of battery compared to push hope that helps
[HD2 General] utduk:
Thanks so much for clearing it up
[HD2 General] barty22:
Sorry, can't help but to throw this in:

When you use SchedHandler to take care of the "push mail", then it will not be a big battery drain at all. The opposite is true. In fact, it will probably be lighter for your battery than when you configure to check the email manually once every 2 hrs or whatever. And emails will arrive within seconds :)

[Desire General] daesimps:
I too am having minor issues.

The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.

For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.

Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.

[Desire General] alpha1-:
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??

Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
[Desire General] meemaw:
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow. :(
