[Touch CDMA Android Development] Tsuushin:
I recently added pictures for most of my contacts in Google Contacts and then synced them to my phone.

This worked well and the result was pleasing... except the next day I realize pictures are starting to get mixed up... Random contacts are swapping pictures, contacts that had no picture "steal" one from some other contact, etc... Note that these changes get synced back into Google Contacts! This is a huge pain!

Is there any known way to fix the problem?

This happened to me using eclair. But not warm donut.

Using vanilla base rom or a theme?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Tsuushin:
I'm using the Enoch theme along with the BlackXeth Dialer.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Try pushing the /app/Contacts.apk from the base install. That should hopefully solve your issue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
I will go through and re push all the images from all the contacts.apk's to the base apk again. I must have messed up and did some of them from an older apk. But i will say that this isnt an issue for me. Sorry guys:o
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Tsuushin:
It's cool, I appreciate the support and I will try pushing contacts.apk

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
if you have trouble i will make a tar of the base contacts.apk when i get home. I will also put the base apks of all the ones i do in my thread incase people gt into trouble.

HTC Sync problems

i used HTC sync and it only syncs in one direction. It syncs calendar entries from Outlook PC to HTC Desire, but not vice versa.

I have raised a call with HTC, but it has fallen into a black hole.

They suggested using the Google Calendar Sync, but now my phone only allows me to add netrie sto phone, noty googlemail account. I cannt work out how to reset this. It used to give me 3 options (Phone, googlemail, and Sync)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
I hv installed Google Calendar Sync for Outlook application in my pc, u can set up for "two way", "outlook to google" or "google to outlook". I use it in two way option enabled and working perfectly, when i create an entry with my phone it is reflecting in outlook and vice versa. (auto synch active, google selected)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
...except one thing; entries created as rich text/html mode in body section cannot be reviewed in the HTC calendar, but I dont care coz I'm not using it for business, for private use it is more than enough imho.
[Desire General] dodistar:

[Desire General] werdna72:
I had lots of problems with HTCSync, so got rid of it and use MyPhoneExplorer.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
I got fed up with Outlook .. it worked once.. HTC sync is a bit pants.. and would not sync all the time.. ( even though I know the data had changed ) .. So I googled it all... Made a back up of my PST .. and now everything is on google...
[Desire General] spile:
You should have taken a look at MyPhoneExplorer a free alternative to HTC Sync.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jackal424:
I searched the forum and saw a workaround about clearing data, but that doesn't cut it.

I have DC2.05 installed.

Sync has been working fine.. But all of a sudden today, it stopped syncing. Rather, there is like a 3 hour gap. Reminder new mail reminder came on at noon and I noticed I had 5 emails as early at 9am.

Normally they are supposed to show up right away. It did yesterday. Dont know why it just stops working.

Anyone else experience this? Is this a google server thing or what?

Only thing I did different is added a third account yesterday. Maybe that screwed it up.

Edit: Updated with new findings, see post 3
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fivebass52:
I've been wondering the same thing too. Since installing 2.0d gmail hasn't been pushing automatically. Looked under every setting I can possible think of, but it's still not pushing it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jackal424:
well, mine has been working since the last time it happened. It got messed up when I added a new sync account, upto three now. Do the following and it worked for me:

1) menu -> settings -> accounts & sync

- click on a sync account and disable individual syncs: contacts, gmail, calendar

- repeat for all accounts

2) Same location as step 1

-disable auto-sync

- then disalbe background data.

3) menu -> settings -> applications

- click on gmail app

- clear cache

- clear data

4) same location as step 3

- click on gmail storage

- clear data

5) Restart phone

6) re-activate sync functions in backwards order of disabling them:

- enable background data.

- enable autosync

- enable individual sync items for each account

This fixed it for me and has stayed that way for some time now.

Give it a shot
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Thanks Jackal! That fix worked for me! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fivebass52:
That worked! Will let you know if it doesn't stick, but thanks for the info... that area is the one place I wasn't familiar with. Now I'll know where to start the next time Gmail stops pushing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] energizer1389:
Worked for me too. Ill probably have to do it again once I added my other accounts.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rt1oo:
thank you thank you thank you!

this method works perfectly for my issues. I wasn't having any problems receiving mail, but sending and proper archiving of mail items syncing w/ an IMAP desktop program was not working properly. these steps fixed the issues.
[General Topics] stuartturrell:
Hi everyone, i would like some advice.

I am coming from a vast amount of HTC phones (i love HTC, great phones), latest one was touch HD but i broke it (up until then, its my longest serving phone without me getting rid of it).

I am looking at alternatives, and thinking andriod (wouldnt do iphone, tho the apps would be great!)

Anyway, i use my phone mainly for emails, web browsing and playing content over my network through UPNP and windows shares.

How would i cope with Andriod in this situation, do apps exist for these?

In your opinion, which phone do you think is best and if you were me, which would you go for?

I am favouring HD2, simply as i know windows, run custom firmware on it and love the hd! Andriod is an unknown for me, can i install custom firmwares on that?

Maybe andriod onto the HD2?!?!?!

Thanks for any help.

Stuart
[General Topics] zetralyn:
funny... i'm opposite of you.

I've been a Sony Ericsson fan for several years now. I currently have the Xperia X1 and introduced to the world of Windows Mobile.

I'm trying to decide also between the HD2 and the X10.

HD2 runs winmo and the X10 runs android.

Switching to the HD2 would break me from being a SE fan and going with X10 would break me from winmo... haha. Still not sure which to choose from.

I've had a problem with the Genie Widget. It works fine when I first install it on a newly installed ROM, but after a little while, it can't acces and won't access weather at all. Won't refresh. Tried turning data off and back on, reinstalling, everything. Anyone else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
I ahven't had any such issues. Are you running a version for 2.1 as opposed to the ported version for 1.5?

I attached the APK I am using.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
It's working fine here too. Did you try erasing the stored data for the app?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
I think you could be right on that. I think I'm using a ported version for 1.5. I'll try out the version you posted and see how it goes :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
Uninstalled previous one, installed this one. Still having problems :/

Tried this as well and still a no go. Rebooting to see if ti helps

EDIT: Still doesn't work. I'm stumped.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] heroid007:
Are you using custom 2.1 rom or still using ported 1.5 rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
it does that on 1.6 roms also
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blampars:
Mine will do this from time to time as well, but eventually it clears itself up. It can take a while to get back to working, however.

Can anyone tell me what version of the widget their running? According to what Astro's App Manager tells me, I'm running version 1.1.7-RC6 on Fresh Rom 2.0d

I have no Idea if I'm running one for 2.1 or one ported for 1.5 or what.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
Nope, I am not.

I've had this problem now matter what version of it I use. ported 1.5 or 2.1.

[General Questions and Answers] legioncwe:
Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help me write a simple script that I can execute in terminal. What I would like the script to do is copy all the files from one directory to another directory on my sdcard (to cut down what i need to type in terminal each time).

For example

cp /sdcard/dir1/*.* /sdcard/dir2

I've tried to just put that command line in a unix txt file from Crimson Editor, saved it as copy.sh. I did

chmod +x copy.sh

Then tried to type in terminal

sh /sdcard/copy.sh

I didnt get any errors, but I don't think it worked. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

My phone is a N1 with the latest Cyanogen build. Thanks in advance.

** EDIT **

I fixed the issue by using a program called GScript from the market... I made a new script in the GScript window and can now just open gscript and click the script to run it instead of typing the terminal commands. Don't know if this will help anybody else with similar newbie scripting issues, but it worked for what I wanted to get done. I'm editing post instead of deleting because I don't see the delete post button.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamScar:
So I'm going through my apps, looking to change their icons to some custom ones that I have (so they all have the same style). Everything runs smoothly: I transferred them all to my pc, opened the apks with winrar, replaced the icons, resigned them and then installed them through adb. However, when I open my app drawer, the icons end up being different sizes. Some are smaller than the others. All the icons that I am using to replace the originals are all 60x60 so I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there something in the .apk itself that tells the phone what to scale image to or something? Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I know this is quite irreverent to your question, but may I ask how do you sign apks? I really haven't found any way yet.. not a simple way at least.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamScar:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=646962

after signing you need to delete the original app from your phone (unable to just overwrite), put the signed app in your sdk/tools folder and then install it with "adb install 'whatever_your_app_name.apk"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamScar:
bump for anyone interested

There must be something in the apk that tells the OS how much to scale an image because as soon as I replaced the stock icon with a custom that was the same dimensions everything worked smoothly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Your best bet is to keep the same size as the originals, sometimes images are stretched to fill their containers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamScar:
the problem was actually that they'd end up being smaller in the launcher than they should be. I was overwriting 48x48's with 60x60's thinking they'd work like bettercut and just scale correctly but I was wrong.
[HD2 General] efjay:
Looking for some help from chefs who would probably know this, I installed the stock T-Mo US rom provided by xmoo but the Encryption option in Settings is checked and greyed out so cannot be unchecked.

Can someone tell me the registry setting to change, searching the registry using SK Tools showed several keys but none seemed to give me the required option. Thank you.
[HD2 General] efjay:
No one can advise on how to fix this? Checked the registry under HKLM\control panel and nothing refers to Encryption.

Hellow,

I used the Raphael Eco rom for 2 weeks without a problem. Today, the phone was suddenly "off", and after removing battery to restart..it keeps on booting. It won't get into WM, just after the bootscreen, it wil boot again..so no active sync connection

Hard reset didn't solve the problem... It sais it installed, and afterwarrds the same problem??

Anyone an idea how to resolve this please?

Thanx

Ever since i got my Tilt2 about four months ago, i have been on this site everyday finding new ways to customize my rhodium. Thanks to everybody for everything. One thing i can't seem to find is a transparent clock like i want. I've been looking for a transparent flip clock with the multiple edges and black numbers. I have MobileMatt's crystal clock white, but i can't find the same clock with black numbers. I've searched google and here and no one that i have talked to seems to have this .cab anymore. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
As I've mentioned here and there in other topics, I recently moved to a small town where I get piss-poor Sprint coverage. In fact, inside my house, I'm roaming 100% of the time. I don't worry about it too terribly much because I use wifi for data at home, and voice calls are rock solid with whatever company it is that I'm roaming on (most likely Verizon).

However, when I leave the house, most places in town I can get *just enough* of a Sprint signal that my phone no longer shows me as roaming. Problem is, it's not enough of a signal to actually make a phone call or have any kind of data connection at all. It's only enough to yank me off of the great roaming signal I would otherwise have....

Obviously, compared to a totally useless Sprint signal, I would much rather have a rock solid roaming signal, but I can't find a way to get it other than to go into a building where the Sprint tower gets weak enough that the phone decides to roam.

Are there any good solutions, or is this just a headache I'm going to have to learn to deal with?
[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5405666&postcount=18

People posted it works, but you can't switch the setting on the fly with the phone -- you must connect the phone to your computer to do it.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Wow. I didn't realize so many people needed the same thing. I guess it makes sense, though, with Sprint's limited footprint.

That procedure is WAY too much of a hassle to be useful for my purposes, but at least I know it's possible. If I get some time I think I'll look into the feasibility of making an app that can do the same thing from the phone itself. Preferably just a little toggle widget like the HTC ones...
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Well, take this for what it's worth, but on DamageControlv2.03, there were many of us that tried to update PRL through the menu and ended up with PRL 27392. It's apparently another carrier's PRL and it forced the hero to always roam. I could still make calls, so maybe that PRL would be a benefit to you? Of course, if you wanted to switch back, you'd have to do this.

Totally not a tested theory... just putting it out there.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Nah, definitely not worth the effort. I spend the vast majority of my time either at home with wifi, or in a nearby city with solid Sprint 3G....

It's just extremely frustrating when I make a 5 minute trip to the grocery store and my phone pathetically and futilely tries to grab that tiny little trace of a Sprint signal, making it completely useless. It would be nice if my wife could call and say "Hey, I forgot to mention we're out of ketchup..." and actually get the call while I'm at the store instead of getting a voice mail after I'm already back home...

But it's not bad enough that I'm willing to spend 10 minutes preparing for that 5 minute trip, and then another 10 minutes undoing it when I get home.

I hate to sound "picky", but I'm looking for a solution that is highly convenient. And I'm perfectly willing to code a widget myself, but would appreciate any nudges in the right direction as to what settings need to be changed, and any APIs that manipulate them....

What would be ideal is if there was a configuration file somewhere on the phone where I could adjust the minimum signal strength threshold so that the phone is more eager to roam than it currently is.
[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
If you do decide to do this, I would be willing to donate for this app. I live less than 2 minutes away from a major university, and my Sprint signal is lousy. Two bars if I'm lucky and dropped calls to go with it. Friends with Verizon have full signal.
[Hero CDMA General] vedavin:
Any update on this ? Any new app/method that would work ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tigermoto:
Hi there,

I know there are a lot of clever people on here so here goes:

Is it possible to have a video camera application that records the image but also overlays speed and time through GPS over the top of the recording? I'm sure it must be but God only knows how you would go about it.

Think of the uses for this app.

1. Car Insurance - Record journeys and if an accident happens all the evidence you'd ever need. (I know some countries actually supply inboard cameras to new drivers to reduce premiums)

2. Track days - Find out where your slowing down too much and improve by seeing for yourself.

3. Showing off - Within the law obviously.

Someone must be able to tell me, help...

Hello everyone, im new to the forum, recently bought myself a HTC HD2 after owning an iPhone for the last 18 months.

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?

[Hero CDMA General] Stramondroid:
Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.

[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
This is crazy...

Just for you narrow-minded people...

Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...

Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...

It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???

Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
