[Hero CDMA General] PawkChop:
I'm trying to finally switch over to a custom ROM but the only thing that is holding me back is that I cant find a way to import my contacts from the Stock OS over to my gmail account so that when I use the custom ROM, theyll be there. My auto sync is on and it refreshed but gmail is only showing email contacts.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
You can save your contacts to your sd card and then import them back over. Contacts >> menu >> export to SD
[Hero CDMA General] PawkChop:
When I click menu on the people's app/contacts I dont see that option. Am I in the wrong spot?
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
I found it in Phone >> People >> Menu >> Import/Export
[Hero CDMA General] PawkChop:
When I lick menu I only see the new contact button, search people, delete contacts, view, and sync exchange contacts
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Theres an app (sry dont know the name as of right now) but it exports your entire contact list onto a CVS file or vCard - not that kind :p - and u can import all of them in gmail.

I believe there's another app that also converts all your current contacts to google contacts, so they sync automatically. I'll check the market later and post the names if u haven't found them already.

Edit: just use ExportContacts and import the cvs file in gmail. then sync them to your phone. after that just make sure when adding a number its a google contact.
[Hero CDMA General] PawkChop:
Alright the app worked beautifully. Thank you so much and Ill take that advice. :D. Now just gotta relink to facebook :/
[Hero CDMA General] frostrunner:
What was the name of the one that just changes them from phone to "google" contacts? Ive found it once before but i cant for the life of me remember>.<
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
It was called contactsync > Linky

Official Website - Found at bottom and I quote

Personally I wouldn't use it as many people have reported that it messed up their hero. Its easier still to use "exportcontacts" and import the .cvs file in gmail and then sync them to your phone.
[Desire General] nsm:
Hello,

I have a pair of ultimate ears (metro.fi 200v) earphones.

This has the one button on the headphones.

Now I tested these on a Nexus one and the button can control the music (press to start music and press again to stop, double-click fast and it skips the track).

On my Desire - only the press to start/press to stop music works.

I am unable to get it to answer a call when it comes through.

Does anyone have any ideas if there is a way to get these headphones working (ideally using all the functionality that the stock headphones give?)

Thanks
[Desire General] setspeed:
Is there any way to get the GMail app to always show pictures, without having to press the "Show pictures" button? It annoys the hell out of me - I ALWAYS want to see the pictures!!!
[Desire General] setspeed:
Anyone got an answer for me? :-)
[Desire General] setspeed:
Yet another bump since I still don't have an answer.

I'm now running Pays Sense Froyo rom.
[Desire General] haeffnkr:
anyone got any ideas?

I want this also....please.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
no you cant, its there to protect you not just from malicious code but also from illegal images ......
[Desire General] setspeed:
An honest question - how does making me press a button protect me from malicious code?

And illegal images, well I've never received an email with illegal images in it, and I think I'm prepared to take that risk since I'm an adult!

I just want my pictures shown straight away!
[Desire General] haeffnkr:
If the same account was able to have pics shown by default on the iPhone surely some has a fix or script or workaround for this bad idea on a Droid?

Thanks Kevin
[Desire General] randynchicago:
"Show Pictures" button issue - WTF?

I am using Android 2.2 on a Droid X and I M NOT able to see my HTML emails automatically? I have to hit a "Show Pictures" button EVERYTIME?? This is the dumbest thing I have heard.

I can turn this option on in my GMail account, so we can't I turn it on in the GMail app on my Android phone?

Security? That is a lame-ass excuse, like I said, I can turn it on in my web based GMail account and GMail automatically filters 99% of all SPAM messages automatically AND IF there is SPAM in my email box, it's usually something I know not to click on it (on the phone) and when I do log into my webmail I report it as SPAM. WTF?
[Desire General] haeffnkr:
I solved this problem by using the K-9 mail application.

It is in the market and you can download the latest version off the developers google dev web site.

It has the setting to always show pictures.

Good luck to all.

Kevin
[Desire General] setspeed:
This has been solved now.

This post from this thread provides a GMail update that is flashable through ROM Manager or recovery.

Works a treat! :-)
[Desire General] rhtb4theeyeblnks:
Thank you so much. I also think it pretty freaking stupid and not insecure. Scripts should always be be disabled but I dont see how allowing/placing/resizing picture is dangerous at all. There are empty spaces, that when you click them it goes to a link. It was a picture with a link attached, but now its clueless link. Its more dangerous to allow contextual boxes then pics. Downloading anything illegal without criminal intent is not prosecutable. My 2 cents anywho.
[Desire General] sohail.patel:
Thanks..I have updated Gmail app..The problem is now resolved.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artanis2:
Hi, I somehow added a number to the blacklist in my cyanogen 5.x rom without even knowing that I did it and without going to settings to do it manually. Does anyone know the 'shortcut' to put a number in the blacklist? I spent two days trying to figure out why this person was getting hung up on but everyone else was fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artanis2:
Bump. I find it extremely hard to believe that no one knows how to add to the blacklist! (without going to the settings explicitly)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_smurfo:
Used to be a way in Contacts, but I can't find it anymore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colemanimal:
i saw a dialog come up momentarily today that said "add to blacklist" but i dont know what made it come up. i would really like to be able to add to blacklist from the call log.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveyh13:
the number has to be in your list of contacts (ie. you must have added it as a contact)

if you then long press on the contact from the list, you can add it to the blacklist
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_deimos:
It's actually very easy to add someone to the blacklist, maybe even too easy - when you're getting a call and instead of accepting or rejecting it you press the menu button, you'll see a popup with "add to blacklist" button. Or at least that's how it looks like in SuperD roms. But as far as i know they're using the same dialer, so it should be the same on cyanogenmod.

Adding someone to the blacklist by accident happened to me as well. Took me a while to figure out why one of my friends couldn't call me even though still could text me ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes, this is true for all ROMs that use that particular phone modification.

As for a shortcut, just go to settings if you want to add one instantly without them calling. It doesn't take that long.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artanis2:
Hmm, I did think that I saw something for a split second right when I tried to answer the call that I blacklisted. Pressing menu doesn't do anything though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mraellis:
Hello all,

I have just got a new HTC Dream and proceeded to do the following :

I started by flashing dreaimg.nbh drc 7, then a rooted using telnet following the instructions on cyanogen wiki. I then flashed the new radio 26i and the death spl. I have installed cyan 5.0.7t2 plus google apps.

Now however when I boot it up it is staying on the g1 boot up screen and not continuing. Earlier versions of cyanogen mod work but not 5.0.7 for some reason.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoola20055:
i just had the same prob. im on moto droid. comming from droidmod 1.0 after reboot after flashin newest cgnmod it jut hangs on moto logo. went back to last backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mraellis:
Cyan doesn't support the droid does it? :S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] supremeteam256:
Make sure the death spl was installed and make sure to wipe before installing. Install cyan and then gapps without rebooting in between.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I usually have to install gapps after cyanogen. Some people before, some people after. It's kinda odd. :P

Also, for the droid, there is a cyanogenmod. Dunno if CM5 is on there yet, though. Don't really know anything about the Droid.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adavis159:
I read somewhere that there was a bug in 5.0.7 where you can't use the terminal method to install it, you have to use amon-ra recovery instead (I can't find the page anymore)

I think CM 5.0.8 fixes this

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelli_de:
I complained at the HTC support about the long time missing update to Android 2.1 for the Hero.

They told me that for the Hero a Android "update version" is neccessary and that this" update version" is only available since April from Google.

The Android version 2.1 released in January is not feasible for the Hero.

Is that true? Are there several versions for Android for the several mobiles?

My understanding was, there is only one common Android operating system (of the version 2.1 for example) and this is the same for all mobiles. HTC then "only" builds some additions e.g. the Sense GUI on top of it.

Are they trying to play games with me?

(I hope my English was good enough to express this a little bit complicated stuff. I apologize in advance:( )

By the way: they also told me that this update for the Hero "will definitly be released from June on" :D
[XPERIA X10 General] upliftpeanut:
Does anyone also have this problem?

Whenever I type a message that's longer than 3 smses, the phone automatically converts the sms into a mms message? :confused:

I just find it weird coz my old nokia phone can send up to 11 smses without converting to mms automatically.

Yeh, i tend to blab on in my messages =P

Any help would be appreciated!!!! THx!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
yeah.. it's meant to.. on the assumption that 1 mms is cheaper than 3 sms..... but you can switch it on/ off (in Handscent..) not sure about std msg app..
[XPERIA X10 General] sungrad:
this unfortunately can't be changed in the default messaging app, but handcent does handle this well :)
[XPERIA X10 General] upliftpeanut:
ooo THX GUYS...awesome!!!! i'll try it out ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
WHAT?! Seriously?! :eek: Goddammit. I can send 3000 sms' per month. And MMS' are pretty expensive in comparison. Urgh, this is VERY strange. Oh well, I guess it'll have to do. I really love the messaging app!

Edit: I tried Handcent. And it's really not for me. I think the standard messaging app looks way much better. Too bad since Handcent has some pretty good settings. :(

Got my desire yest and loving it. Having a small problem tho when i try and watch a megavideo.com link I get automatically redirected to some crappy jej share. com site. Anyone know a fix to this? Really want to watch tv shows through megavideo.

Does anyone know a fix to this? Like i said the desire seems to automatically re-direct when i go to megavideo.com to this j.jeshare.com!

[Desire General] redstar99:
Thanks alot man that worked, but now i have another problem :(

When i go direct to megavideo and press play its saying this is not supported - shockwave flash.

However i know that is wrong because when i go to another website which has megavideo links embedded, the phone plays them no problem :confused:
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Hehe, sounds like you need to manage your own expectations...

The Desire is a very capable internet device. It probably has the best mobile browser I've ever used. But it is still a mobile device and as such, not all websites will work...
[Desire General] redstar99:
Yeah looks that way ;)

I'll just have to use the embedded website to watch my megavideo shows, strange that it says not supported when clearly it is tho :D
[Desire General] RotxeD:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] removesstains:
I recently got back into rooting my G1 since the apps to SD has become stupid easy to get setup now.

I am currently running the CSDI V4 rom and i noticed that all the apps that i restored using the "Backup for root users" that have been recently updated do not show up in my downloads section of the market.

Is there a script i can run to either add them to the downloads section or have the phone check for app updates? That way i don't have to manually check for updates for every app i have restored. I would assume there's a way since people flash new roms on there G1 like weekly now.

I tried searching the forums for this but i guess i'm not typing in the right words.

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Just so I am clear, do the apps show in the Downloads section of the market... or do they just show as if you do not even have them installed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoMudder77:
Assuming your reffering to Titanium backup for root users. Since they are not showing up in your downloads area, you either didnt back them up with market data, or didnt restore them with market data.

If they have market data with them, they will have a "M" on thier icon in the program. Restore them again with data if you have it, If you dont, then AFAIK your outta luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] removesstains:
@ s15274n

they just show as if you do not even have them installed.

@ MotoMudder77

I used BlackinSoft version of Backup for root users. The free version. darn looks like i'm SOL this time around. I had no clue that i need to check anything else beside the apk section.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoMudder77:
titanium backup also has a free version. It handles data aswell. the upgraded version has a few perks that I couldnt live without.

You could try using aTrackDog to scan what apps you currently have installed which will look for updated version of those installed apps. It's not 100% accurate but it'll help.
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
Hey i was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem i am having.

All my contacts are saved in the following format +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. If i dial +1 (xxx) and proceed to dial my phone book filters and narrows down the possibilities, i think this is a very nice feature, but if i don't add the +1 (xxx) it assumes im using ABC and just searching for the name. I would like to be able to dial xxx-xxxx for numbers in my area and have the numbers filter, any ideas anyone?

I'm putting up the finishing touches of a new Android app and I'm torn about one thing. I can't decide if I should make my application with white text on a black background or black text on a white background.

Is there a preference either way, or should I build the app in such a way as to let the user decide?
[Android Software Development] slaming:
let the user decide as me i use the desire with is amoled which means takes more power to create a white color (so i believe) so most apps such at the xda tap a talk is black but i know some people would preffer white, but if you are just going for one color without swapping to save programming i would go for black background
[Android Software Development] dukeoflbg:
I agree. Black background.

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Android Software Development] Jivecat:
Building the app so it can be customized by the user may also make it simpler for you to make changes throughout the app later on since you set up a flexible framework early on instead of hardcoding colors.

I have a N1 w/AMOLED but I can't really say that I get a whole lot better battery life with apps that have a black UI. I would say do any color that works better aesthetically.
[Android Software Development] chmckay:
Thank you. I really appreciate the input.
