I spent quite a while mucking around trying to find out why my contacts would not synchronize with my Google account.

Check what type your contacts are on your phone. Are they SIM contacts, Phone contacts or Google contacts?

On my phone, I had everything as Phone contacts. I discovered that only Google contacts will synchronize with your Google account. But all is not lost. You won't have to type in all your contact details again.

What you do is to create Google contacts that duplicate each of your phone contacts. Just create each Google contact on your phone as an empty contact (i.e. no details) with the same name as each existing phone contact. When you see them in your contacts list, they will appear as two contacts at this stage.

Then edit either one of the two contacts. You can link each contact with another contact. If you've use the same name for your Phone and Google contacts it will already be suggesting that these can be linked together. Do so.

You will find your two contacts now appear as one in your contact list. And these linked contacts will now synchronize with your Google account contacts and carry all the details from your original Phone contact with it.

Hope this helps.

i've got by htc desire synching w/ work exchange account and googlemail contacts (ie no data on phone itself). when connected to facebook, it would only synch about 5 of the googlemail contacts, although exchange seemed to be fine.

i cleared out all the data, deleting the synch accounts and tried again. all contacts were downloaded, until... i resynched w/ facebook which removed all the googlemail contact except the same 5 or so.

i'm guessing there's some kind of data conflict, but any idea how to fix it? i kinda like having my contacts hooked up with their facebook profiles, so a fix would be good.

cheers

[Desire General] clovek1:
i have the same problem.

i have installed the HTC Sync from SD card, uninstalled ActiveSync, installed driver and so on. HTC device is recognised in Windows XP x86, HTC Sync starts on Desire, but ends up with Synchronization status: Disconnected.

It's a serious issue for me, as i have used the Outlook Calendar synchronization daily in my office.

Curiously it synchronizes the Contacts well with my Windows7 x64 at home.
[Desire General] AlexManner:
Hi,

there is a "Workaround for HTC Hero Sync Problem in Windows 7" which should also work for the Desire.

As I am new user I am not allowed to post links. So google what I have set into inverted commas and it should be the first result from mydigitallife.

Cheers

Alex
[Desire General] clovek1:
the Sync works in W7.

the Sync doesn't work in XP.

Phone Monitor recognizes the Desire in XP.

HTC Sync doesn't start sync wizard and says "Disconnected".

USB Debugging is turned "on" in Desire menu.

"Disk drive" option in HTC Sync 2.0.18 menu on Desire works well.

Phone is mounted as:

"Mass Storage Device" in Device Manager->USB Device Contrololers (driver version 5.1.2600.0 from Microsoft)

"MyHTC" in Device Manager->Android USB Devices (driver version 2.0.7.1 from HTC)

"HTC Android Phone USB Device" in Device Manager-> Disk Drives (driver version 5.1.2535.0 from Microsoft)

when choosing HTC Sync in desire after connecting the phone, it's installed and mounted as external drive.
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Does anyone have a link where I can download the HTC Sync that comes on the SD card, I put it my own card when I received the phone so never checked the SD card for anything.
[Desire General] clovek1:
it is the HTC Sync 2.0.28

HTC Sync problem solved

After installing HTC Sync 2.0.28 (delivered on SD card) the sync problem wtih Outlook is gone.

I have used an older 2.0.18 version before, without being aware of it.
[HD2 General] BillReed:
Thats right.. last night i left my Leo charging, today when i woke up i noticed that the battery level was very low so.. i unplugged it and plugged it again, noticed that the orange led wasnt lighting up, neither was the phone charging.

The phone gets very very very hot when plugged to charger or USB port on my computer and does not charge at all.

Tried it all, left it all day long with the battery out of the phone, tried charging without it in.. and nothing..it just gets very hot where the connectors (pins) make contact with the battery.

Now im trying to charge the battery on a cradle to flash it with stock rom and SPL to get it to warranty..:mad:

Any of you guys has any thoughts?
[HD2 General] BillReed:
I see i posted in the wrong section.

Thank u mod :)
[HD2 General] Sean3:
Do you always charge via usb into pc? Is your cradle plugged into the wall or pc? I don't know if you have done this, probably so, but check in windows settings->system->Power and inside the battery tab see if the "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC" is checked.
[HD2 General] BillReed:
Yeah.. it crossed my mind to check for it, and that option is unchecked.

Though the charging "orange" led doesnt turn on even if the phone is off.

I usually charge it via usb->pc, allthough i tested with the wall charger and nothing.

I suspect it must have been a power surge that burnt in some way the PBC of the "charging module..thing"

Thanks for the suggestion :)
[HD2 General] Jack E:
i'd check that none of the pins for the battery are in contact with each other if there is heat in that area.
[HD2 General] Sean3:
Ok, I'm assuming then that the phone works, but just has low battery at the moment. If that's the case then it doesn't appear to be the battery or the leads. Any chance it's the cable? That of course assumes your using the same one with the cradle. I ask because my device didn't come with a wall charger, just a usb cable so I had to get a few extra plus a wall plug-in with a usb port.
[HD2 General] BillReed:
Yep already checked it..although if it was something wrong with the pins the phone wouldnt turn on.. i dunno :(
[HD2 General] BillReed:
I have a car charger also.. and nothing. :mad:

Your leo didnt came with a wall charger?
[HD2 General] Sean3:
Weird, but unfortunately it didn't. I think being in the US and getting the device from Telstra in Australia may be why I didn't. Well, if it is a hardware problem and you can't get it to charge from the device, I believe you can get a cradle that will allow you to charge the battery independant of the phone. I know it's not the best option on the planet, but it would get your battery where it needs to be to flash and confirm whether or not it's a charging issue with the battery itself.

Come to think of it, this did happen to me several weeks ago. I plugged the phone in before bed as usual and noticed the charging light didn't go on and the battery drained overnight from about 60% to 15%, which it shouldn't have done. Not in standby at least. Soft-reset the next day fixed it. It hasn't done it since. I was installing a bunch of things that evening, which may have been what did it.
[HD2 General] mikelebrat:
I had a same problem with my hd2 and by some miracle and few days of pain :p

it workd again...and it workd about 5 days and same thing happend al over again...and I think I have solution!

It may be stupid but it work for me...

try to connect your hd2 to charger but

without battery

and then insert the battery and it should start up your phone and charging...

I apologizes for my poor english :)
[HD2 General] BillReed:
I'll try that when i arrive home..
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sms440:
Does anyone have the answer as to why the new version doesn't work? Also, is it just me or do you have to have either a data or wireless connection established to send calls? Yet for receiving calls you don't need data or wi-fi.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
pleeeeease use the search function. ive seen so many threads about google voice issues. be sure to search the whole eris section, not just the themes/apps forum.

there is a fix, but its based on an older version. search around for google voice 0.2. thats been patched and works, but doesn't have instant sms like current versions do.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sms440:
Sorry, but I don't think you understand my question. I know the current version doesn't work and that we have to use 0.2. My question is why doesn't the newest version work, why does it put calls through verizon instead of voice? I just want to know why, that's all. I'm not looking for a fix, .2 is fine with me. Again, story for the misunderstanding.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
Oh I see, ya, misunderstood I guess :P

But don't have an answer to that then, :( hopefully someone else will see this.

[Hero CDMA General] sleejay:
i need all the sd space i can manage to find for some maps. (navigation)

how can i disable apps2sd? danger's most current rom, if it matters
[Hero CDMA General] Austin3600:
When in recovery, partition the SD card. When you partition the SD card, make sure everything is "0" and then leave all the rest of the space for fat32 partition.

This will delete EVERYTHING on your SD card, you'll have to flash whatever ROM you were using again, but apps2sd will be disabled.
[Hero CDMA General] sleejay:
hehehe i should have mentioned that i was looking for a method WITHOUT destroying everything!
[Hero CDMA General] sierpinski13:
Just back up the entire SD card to a computer and recopy everything after you repartition. That way, you still have everything, just not the apps. Astro has a great app backup tool.
[Hero CDMA General] sleejay:
can i partition without reloading rom
[Hero CDMA General] sierpinski13:
I'm pretty sure you can.
[HTC Excalibur] MProdigy:
Well... before realizing the problem was the power button/switch I read another posts about batteries, so i bought a brand new one and let the phone charge.

The thing is that the battery is at 100% and the only way to make the phone turn on is by taking off and puting on the battery and most of the times it works, not always. Then i get to the home screen and it turns off by itself. Only once i could keep the phone on without shutting down automatically. If I try to turn it off or on by the power button it does not respond. Any Suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] MProdigy:
Pls, not a single answer...

I cannot use my phone my friends, throw me some help pls:mad:
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
You can't do much if your power button is broken, sorry. There is no way you can power up your phone
[XPERIA X10 General] amir84:
hi

i realy disappointed of the Mediascape on the X10 its realy slow and not responding to finger touch good enught + the photo viewer is pretty slow!

is there any other APPS i can download to use as viewer and they good and fast enguth??
[XPERIA X10 General] laurence0609:
Search the Market, there's a lot of free apps there that you can choose from.
[XPERIA X10 General] amir84:
i allready did sch there

didn't find anything useful thats why i'm asking here maybe for some recomndetion
[XPERIA X10 General] cybapaddy:
I'm using MixZing for playing music ... :)
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
funny these threads. listed as one of the main selling points of this device was mediascape. you must have read that but bought it anyway! did you not try the phone 1st? this is a prime example of why we all should! not having a go so dont start flaming! expressing my opinion. there is no app within the app store that will deliver anything near what mediascape does right now so for this phone its the best you gonna get! in time when custom roms are being made then we may see the likes of what htc have to offer. we are also currently lacking in apps that do offer more but hopefully corecodec will develop an app for android! until then and until custom roms are available i would just stick with mediascape. no matter how much you hate it, the alternatives are even worse!

edit:

some coredec images for the cp2.0 for android.

[XPERIA X10 General] amir84:

is there any good app also for Photo Viewer ??
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
playlists

Sorry for hijacking this thread but my question is to do with mediascape.

Anyone figure out how to create playlists in mediascape yet?

The only thing I have found that comes close is starring tracks as favourites, but that only generates one list.

Am I missing something or is it not possible? Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yeah... I don't think that's possible. Which kind of sucks but something I can live with. I mostly just use Spotify anyway. :)

And I also want to know about any good picture gallery. I had one but it wasn't really good at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Ah, fair enough. At least it's not me going daft. I was searching Google and the results were implying that you could generate lists but they must have meant that it could be done via media go software.

As far as media players go i would consider that to be a basic feature that is required (especially if you have a large library).

As for the gallery I can't say I'm too impressed with that either. However I did like the one previewed on the mini. Hopefully that will be included in future updates, if there are to be any.

Just typing this on the phone itself using the HTC keyboard. The only thing missing are the directional arrow keys, tapping the screen in the correct place is hit and miss for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
You can generate Playlists with the Astro Filemanager, which you should have installed anyway...
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Yeah I do have that instaled. I'll try that out. Cheers mate.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
PiQture is pretty good photo viewer.
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
I found se's other music player in the phone :) but cant shortcut to it to use it easily.

Im using the file manager by nalic (green and blue pie chart icon). Navigate to system/media/audio/ringtones (ogg) and play one, a different player called music opens to play it, now leave the file playing and pull down the notification tray and touch the play icon then press the left menu key then library button and you are in.

Now this player will be listed in the recently used app list (hold middle button) unless it gets moved off the list by opening more than 6 more apps without opening it again to bring it to the front of the list.

I like this one better than mediascape as its less cluttered and straightforward and you can create playlists which are drag and drop editable and show up in mediascape.

It would be nice to get to it easier though.

There is also a video player and picture viewer but they are very simple with few options.

[XPERIA X10 General] sonus:
One of my main reasons for wanting the X10 is mediascape. Since I've only seen videos, and you guys actually have the X10... I'm looking forward to hearing why Mediascape is a poor media player and gallery. It certainly looks more robust and feature filled than any of the current media players I've seen.
[XPERIA X10 General] brightonsblueeyedboy:
it is possible but via media go I think, I spent ages trying to work out how to get a playlist set up but I think you have to literally set up a play list on your pc, then transfer that playlist on to the phone (?) only reason I say this is because there is a playlist option in the library in media go. Unfortunately I'd already moved my music across before noticing this so didn't want to double it up or remove it and start again.

I found an app called mortplayer which is free and works a charm for music
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
Or get a file manager from the market and follow my instructions above, any playlists created will be automatically integrated into mediascape.

Its easy once you suss it. !
[XPERIA X10 General] quanganhle90:
Hi,

Anyone know how to disable the mediascape from caching thumbnail for music file ? I think this would vastly improve the speed, as mediascape would only have to read the tagging info and not the image/albumart.

I tried to set the folder as read only, but it doesn't work, the phone still write to it
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi all - I've sussed this out (alternate Music player and playlists)... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...
[XPERIA X10 General] kitsVA:
All these work arounds to create playlist are fine but the main PIA is when I want to add tracks to Current Play list while listening to music. Can't be done. I hope SE will soon release a upgrade to address some of these basic issues.

Also, when you try to add contact as Shortcut on Home Screen it brings up list of all contacts and there is no search or 'letter' list on side to select the names. You can to scroll all the way down to select names. I guess SE QA and design team tested the phone only with one track of music and one contact in address book.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] boo6:
You know that in most forums there are guys who want to provoke. Nobody would be lame enough to get a x10 when he hates media scape.

Media scape is great, but there is no reason not to discuss alternatives.

Ms is definitely the best media player I've seen on android.
[XPERIA X10 General] misterzak:
Just set your volume keys as cursor movers in the options (that's if you have the modern HTC_IME.apk
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
:-)

Cheers mate, I had an older version of the keyboard that didn't have that feature.

As a result of your advice I have just updated to the latest version and am now able to use the volume keys to move the cursor.

Nice one Misterzak.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Just wanted to make mention that for those looking for a music player alternative to Mediascape, try bTunes. It's fast, supports all sorts of ways to view your music, and has lock-screen controls.
[XPERIA X10 General] alan090:
not sure what your talking about

i tried mediascape and its plenty fast enough

way better than the stock android media players

no widget for the music and its not quite as good at music as eclair modded music for htc g1 or htc music player

the response is fine

if the screen isnt responding to your feather light touch then press harder - its not going to break

i used swype and the mediascape with no issues in touch response and no slowdown what so ever
[XPERIA X10 General] amir84:
hi

why can't i find the bTunes in the market ?? :((
[XPERIA X10 General] Androidbruger:
today I ran out of patience with Mediascape and searched Market for a more snappy and responsive music player

I found and recommend Mortplayer!! Great customization and FAST.

I did not buy X10 for Mediascape - bought it for the camera, screen and the other hardware specs. SE need to vastly improve on SPEED in both Timescape and Mediascape IMHO... then they would be great apps!
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Can't find it either. Not even with QR-codes. :o
[XPERIA X10 General] holy_reds:
I personally use and like nemoPlayer (Acer Liquid's media player) as an alternative to Mediascape, very similar (neat looking + can view pics,musics,videos) but I think it's more comfortable because of its simple UI, on-screen back button, and scrolling titles

I don't really like Mediascape especially because it doesn't scroll the song's title/album names (long names are cutted) and quite difficult to navigate

The cons are it's not an official market app and lack of integration

It's slow to load for the 1st time, but after that it's okay
[Android Software Development] Forcystos:
I'm trying to implement a console in a recovery kernel. I'm stuck at this: After selecting the option to launch the console, recovery does exit, but to a blank screen with "A N D R O I D" flashing in the middle of the screen with a cursor, and then restarting the recovery UI. I've added the proper options to init.rc, plus the required binaries for sbin. Does anyone have any idea about what I'm doing wrong? Here's what I've done so far:

Added the option to exit to the console (do_reboot = 0, gr_exit);

Added openvt, vtspawn, consolemap, loadkeys and start_fbcon to sbin

Added the required calls to init.rc (class_start con when recovery exits, bunch of openvts with class con, start_fbcon disabled until started).
[Android Software Development] Forcystos:
Bump, forgive the double post, etcetera.

I fixed it. If anyone is interested in the method, since this will probably work on any recovery to implement a console, I'd surely help. If not, let this topic die once more.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
Ok, I just got my nexus today and flashed Modaco alpha 21.

Can you point me in the direction of how to set this up for modaco.

Also, do I need swap?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisdada:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD

Thats what i used, its fairly simple and well wrote. Use the recovery ROM method, its the fastest and easiest.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
To set up App2SD, you need an ext partition on your SD card and the userinit.sh script to initialise App2SD (search for it!!)... a faster SD card is recommended for App2SD, though it will work you ur 4GB class 2 card. Use App2SD only if you want to install many market applications and u know that the internal memory won't suffice. And for the Nexus one, if you've got HiMem enabled, you do not need any swap partition...
