Installed the official 2.5 ROM for my TP2 and synched contacts with FB. What REALLY annoys me is that the birthdate is on the contact card but it doesn't update on the calendar. Now if I type in the birthdate manually it shows up on the calendar.

Is there any way to make this happen automatically? I have searched to no avail and any help would be very welcome :)

Thanks a bunch, I'll try them out later today.

Have a great easter :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
Checked out the thread you pointed me to, and some people say it should update automatically when synching to Outlook, which I am, and it doesn't do that. Hm. Maybe it's an issue with the Sense 2.5 ROM?

Contact Photo and Birthdate ONLY

Hello All, I want to sync my facebook account iwth my ATT Tilt2 but do NOT want all the additioanl info that comes with it.. like status updates... I would like to update the pictures on the contacts along iwth birthdates.. other info but just not the status... .. Any way we can do that.?

Any help on how to do this is greatly appreictad. if it can be done in the first place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mstevens:
One obvious way is to link accounts, do an update to get pictures, birthdates, etc., then disable Facebook for each account for which you don't want status updates. That's what I do. Another way is to set Facebook updates to never, so it never updates statuses (or anything else) until you ask it to do so manually. Most people's pictures don't change that often, and birthdays even less often.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Interesting stuff, I have been wondering if there have been runnning production changes and it appears that there may well be some.
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
was the phone you replaced rooted? did they replace it anyway if so?
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Yes, my original N1 that I'm packing up to ship back now was rooted. They may or may not honor the warranty, and may make me pay to repair the dusty screen, or they might just let me send back the replacement phone (I won't root the replacement until I hear back from HTC). Worst case scenario I end up with two N1s that I paid full price for. I would just sell the old one on ebay or craigslist.

I'll call up about the color difference and see if they will send me a matching battery cover.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
I've also noticed the significant difference in battery life between nexus ones. I've had a t-mobile one and two at&t ones, one a swap for the other with a dead pixel (you probably saw my recent thread about the displays.) The t-mobile one had great battery life, the first at&t one was bad at about half the battery life, and this new at&t one seems to have good battery life, on par with the original t-mobile one. I'm surprised at the variability of these phones.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
By chance did the 99HKE002-00 F have bad battery life too? Cause I can hardly go a full day without being on EDGE.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
That was the one with bad battery life for me.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Hmm, how bad was it? would it last a day? or how many hours with what use?
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I could get about 12-14 hours with moderate use, 1-2 hours of web surfing, 1-2 phone calls, 5-6 sms.
[Nexus One General] dr1337:
Did you notice a change in screen color temperature? I received my replacement Nexus One and it too has very very weak haptic feedback vibration.

What's worse is that my screen on low brightness setting looks totally pink! I've contacted HTC about this and they're going to be swapping the replacement for another replacement. I'm hoping that the replacement won't have these defects.
[Nexus One General] martoto:
What about external speaker guys? Do you found it louder from the older devices?
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
The loudspeaker is pretty much the same between my tmo and att nexus's. I sold my tmo nexus so I can't do a side-by-side comparison, but IMO, the screen of my new att is less saturated and more blue'ish, not a bad thing though. The autobrightness is not as good as my tmo version. The brightness is always set to low by the phone :(
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I don't notice any pink color on low brightness, but I really don't have a good eye for these things. It certainly is not obvious if it there at all.

Did HTC say anything about the weak haptic feedback?

EDIT: Damnit man, now I kinda might be maybe seeing some pink on low brightness. No idea if it was the same on the last phone though.
[Nexus One General] MSigler:
My ATT N1 Serial number ends in 00 B
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Sounds like what I'm getting now with these two batteries. So how is your battery life now with you new swap one?
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
With the new N1 I make it ~16 hours with about 30% left, as opposed to 0% after ~12-14 hours with the old N1. Again, the old phone was rooted, but I doubt the custom ROMs make that big a difference, if any.

Today, I took the phone off the charger at 7am and it is now 930PM. I have used the phone very lightly today and am at ~65%.
[Nexus One General] Rock3nrenigade:
My phone barely makes it 6 hours with only moderate usage... It was part of the reason I was going to return the device...
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
With an overclocked CPU and using JIT, my old phone would last almost double that.

Your phone is defective. Call HTC for a replacement. It took only two days for the replacement phone to arrive.
[Nexus One General] Rock3nrenigade:
Well they told me they will waive all of the restocking fees and such. So I am just going to return everything and repurchase somewhere down the line... I wanted to make sure I can return the thing if I can't adjust from the iPhone.

But for example, today I spent most of the day in the airplane so it was in my pocket on standby. Took her off the charger at about 11 thing was warning me about 15% around 6:30, and I was flying all day so I didn't even use it for more than an hour or so.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
You most definitely havea a defective phone.
[Nexus One General] crackness:
I'm pretty much in the same boat...

Ordered original nexus last friday, got it on tuesday... noticed some factory defect (rough cut on the aluminum on left side of screen) and a little touchscreen issues (sometimes not responding)... called wednesday, received replacement today. Screen does look sharper, touchscreen more responsive, no factory defects (woot), lighter haptic feedback (though the feel of the unlock after waking up feels like original vibe strength so it could be new programming as opposed to a weaker vibrator), power button and volume buttons have a better feel (power button more noticeably, easier to tell I've pressed it)... I will see how the battery lasts tomorrow.

So far, I do like the newer one better, although the less strong haptic on the touch buttons is a little weird to get re-adjusted to, and i've only been using the nexus for 3-4 days before switching to the new one.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Did you notice any color difference with the plastic housing?

Would you mind sharing your part number and/or serial number?
[Nexus One General] Alclub:
Why are you guys getting the replacements straight away? I have 2 specks of dust under the glass and a dead pixel but I'd rather wait till at least half the warranty period is up, or at least until the dust gets worse, so I'll have a newer phone for longer. Also possibly a newer revision.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Mmm gonna try that tomorrow and see what happens..I'll get back to you.
[Nexus One General] archillion:
did u get a chance to get the pics for the replacement phone?
[Nexus One General] ram130:
Your within your 14days return period right?
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
You do not need to be within the 14 day warranty period for the dust issue.
[Nexus One General] ram130:

c'mon,nobody good at XML here? :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cybermaus:
Well, points for self-knowledge must be granted, you really aren't good at this.

Just play with the values man, just guess and try, starting with the "itemheight="80" rows="7" portion I would suggest.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] etoy:
hi m8,i really don't want that someone else does the whole job for me. i always do my tests before begging for help,i already did some tests but without good results. i already tried both "itemheight" and "rows",as fsize (font size?) but i had no luck. i thought there's some other values that i ignored as less "visible" than those two that are the best candidates. that's why i said i don't know nothing about xml. btw thanks a lot for the reply,that's such an invitation to try again and again :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cybermaus:
Thats OK, I can always blacklist you;)

Anyway, if you played with the values, and got no result, than I am afraid I am not going to be able to help. Other than maybe remarking: Did you restart the device after changing the values? It may need a restart to reread the file.

Hello folks,

I am unable to get a data connection to T-Mobile on my Desire (Unlocked CPW, possibly pre-release firmware edition) and would really appreciate someone with a T-Mobile supplied & branded Desire posting the APN settings that work for them.

My phone is set up by default as follows (there is a second APN configured for Picture Message, which I am yet to try):

Name: T-Mobile Internet

APN: general.t-mobile.uk

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set>

Authentication type: <Not set>

APN type: default

Thanks,

Edd.
[Desire General] shawon007:
You can get internet settings automatically by going to T-Mobile's website then "help and support" tab then "software and settings". Type your mobile number in choose desire then click GO!
[Desire General] EddLeicester:
Thanks for your helpful suggestion, but I have already been there and it tells me the following:

The number you have entered is invalid. Please re-enter.

Great, huh? That's why I'd like to know exactly what settings are going out on their own versions of the phone.

Edd.
[Desire General] chiefmcbeef:
Hi Edd, I have pretty much the same settings

under username and password use the following:

username: user

password: pass

I have user/pass working on mine and had these settings working on a Nokia N97 over the past year with the Web n Walk and Mobile Broadband plus booster.
[Desire General] EddLeicester:
UPDATE: Sorted now.

I just phoned T-Mobile to give them my PAC code (which arrived an hour ago), and it turned out that either they or CPW had not set up my account. By the end of the call, I had a 3G or H icon and everything working fine.

Thanks for your replies.

I agree I am in search for one of these as well. I am starting to think I may not have any luck because allot of people are not buying them anymore so they are not making them for as many phones any more due to the lack in demand.

Ok so last night when i flashed ace42's hero everything was going ok wasnt a slow hero but i wanted to go back to super D. My dumbasz forgot to nandroid and when i try to flash an rom it stays on the 1st splash screen i could acces recovery and bootloader so its not a hard brick. Ive tried every thing form reflashing the radio and spl to the bootloader and back. Shoooot i even tried using DREAIMG.Nbh and the stock cupcake but still nothing nada. Any ideas what could be wrong? Im using amons recovery 1.6.2 btw
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
did you try wiping? Usually after you do a nandroid/switchrom/bart it's best to wipe before you flash.

Try This:

Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Ext Partition
Repair EXT
Flash New Rom

See if that doesn't help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
....

Yes ive tried all that sadly no success=/ it says error wipe ext via console or repair ext via console im looost
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
Go to recovery

Console, format your sdcard and repartition

then put the update file

and flash the rom.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepytime28:
I just had this same problem. I did a complete wipe. then flashed DRC83_base_defanged.zip (found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?nymkxjmndzd)when it was done flashing I flashed cyanogens latest with no reboot in between. I am now back up and running.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Backup the contents of your FAT partition on your SDCARD to your computer.

Reformat you SDCARD.

Repartition the SDCARD using Amon_RA's recovery (ext3 or ext4 partiton).

Reboot back into recovery.

Wipe your data/dalvik-cache.

Restore all of your FAT content originally saved from your SDCARD.

flash the DRC83_base_defanged.zip and then CM rom immediately following.

plug your device into your computer (if it's not there already) and use ddms or adb shell logcat to get a logcat and see if it appears to be repeating if your phone doesn't boot then copy the logcat and post it here.

Good luck.

[Desire Themes and Apps] dieselboy:
For anyone having issues with this player not working, I advise you to visit a website like internetfrog.com on your desire to determine which country you are visiting the internet from. I am with O2 and 50% of the time, I appear on the internet in Germany and some times from England (where I live). This will cause issues with BBC as they restrict content to England.

I don't know if any other provider does this.

Of course, with WiFi this would not (normally) be an issue. I say normally because some large companies may have setups similar to O2.
[Desire Themes and Apps] poldie:
Beebplayer is useless to me. I'm in the UK, on Orange, and using this over Wifi. My home internet is plenty fast enough for streaming video (iplayer works on the WII, for example). But all I get is 'buffering', or drop outs on radio when I'm lucky enough to connect, and error messages when I try and watch tv. I think I got tv working twice in the last 3 weeks and the quality was terrible. Radio was ok, except it had constant dropouts, and I had to turn my phone upside down, risking scratching the screen, so that it was loud enough to hear when I wasn't standing over it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jamiepyrite:
It works perfectly for me! I regularly watch TV shows on it using HSDPA..
[Desire Themes and Apps] Robberbobbles:
Same for me...brand new unlocked Desire on Orange, Beebplayer installed from Marketplace 2 weeks ago, connect using wifi, but "loading video" is as far as it ever gets. Guess the end is nigh for Beebplayer, but maybe that means proper BBC supported Android player is on the way??
[Desire Themes and Apps] EroThraX:
Who knows, they said they were only looking at supporting it via flash 10.1 a while ago.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Gurks:
I'm also on O2 and had beebplayer working OK over HSDPA for an hour or so the first day I got my HTC Desire last week - it hasn't worked since, just constantly buffers. It's not likely to be a poor connectivity issue since lastfm and youtube work perefectly and instantly. Can't connect using the BBC site either.

Anyone else seeing issues with beebplayer and O2? Could it be that they're blocking all iPlayer traffic on O2?

Won't make any difference on Orange, T-Mo or WiFi - it just doesn't work anymore.

ISTR that Aunty played around with the streams to make it harder for a bunch of plugins. The author has given up developing this app and has pulled it from the Marketplace due to the impending release of Flash 10.1 (requires Android 2.2).
