FIXED THE ISSUE, in case others need it.

So you want to remove all the "Phone" entries?

If you do, click the following -

People > Menu > View > Make sure just "Phone" is checked > Press OK > Menu > Delete contacts > Menu > Select All > Done

Then press Menu > View > Select Google and you'll have removed the Outlook details, retaining and using just the Google one.

Then it removed all contacts on the phone so i went into

Setting> Accounts & Sync>Google and clicked Sync Contacts
[Hero CDMA General] jfolliard:
brand new newb here - what exactly is the difference between phone contacts and google contacts? Do they relate at all?

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Phone contacts are only stored on the phone, so if you wipe or it gets stolen, they're gone. Google contacts are backed up and restored when you sign back into your new phone/Rom

Google means that it is backed up with your gmail account. Phone means it is not.
[Hero CDMA General] jfolliard:
thanks! So I sync all my contacts between my computer and gmail contacts, then as I understand it, gmail contacts automatically syncs with my Hero - so I wonder if I really need the phone contacts. I've never entered any new contacts into the phone but there appears to be 5-6 phone contacts anyway.

Given my setup, would I be correct in simply deleting my phone contacts and then unchecking Phone in the view from People settings?

2nd question - how can I just see what those 5-6 phone contacts are?

thanks again

Jack
[Hero CDMA General] jfolliard:
thanks - next question is way off subject here (I apoligize) but I couldn't find anything helpful when I searched - probably because it's a simple question:

I've downloaded to my computer a .apk program. What steps are there to install this program on my Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] KitsapAndroid:
Use the HTC Sync program that comes with your phone to push the .apk file. It's very easy to do.
[Hero CDMA General] jfolliard:
thanks - works great!
[HD2 General] rysky007:
Ok, I have read the entire sticky up top, installed the cab, i can see the program running in program list.

1. part of the instructions is to do a soft boot, I have asked this many times but cannot get a straight answer on what a soft boot it. So far just turned the phone off and back on. Is that a soft boot? or Do I need to remove the battery? Do I need to press the little red button?

2. I have noticed a difference in touch, but when texting it still lags like crazy, ( updated ROM by the way ) the sensitivity while texting has improved a tiny tiny bit, but nothing like it was on the original stock rom.

I use the key pad to text, and that is when u really see the difference in speed, and noticing that its not a sensitivity issue its a response to speed of input. As some were saying that a new .dll file / drive is being used now.

Any advice on what else I can do to fix this or take back to original way texting input was. I do not wish to use third party ROM's nor revert back to full stock ROM, just fix that one thing.

Please advise.
[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
1. A Soft reset is just turning it off and back on and you have 3 ways to do this. A. Hold the Power key and click the "Power Off" button. B. Press the red or orange little button behind the batter cover. C. Remove the battery and turn back on.

2. The cab is a little band-aid for a bigger issue, it goes deeper then a few registry entries I feel; just my opinion but I know what you mean. I have cooked a few ROM's that are really promising. I'm still looking deeper into the issues myself, and when we all finally find a difinitive solution I'm sure there will be posts galore.

3. From the way I understand what your saying, I would suggest a hard reset, or just keep what you got. Don't know what to tell ya on that one. I love custom ROM's, take the crap I don't want out, and put in what I do and it's a fresh start..... But again this is just my opinion.

hi was lookin for a mod that makes top and bottom bar on hd2 seethrough or so you can see wallpaper but i got this gr8 cht(cookies) mod and want it to be compatible ,,,thx in advance,tried lookin myself but to no avail,btw just want a cab that i dont have to mess with the registry or change settings just want the cab program that i can install and its done........if this is possible i would be ever so grateful.THANKYOU
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] -josh-:
u need to install cookies wall paper patch and then an actual wallpaper cab. You'll also need the actual wallpaper image to use as your start menu background so it matches up. I dont think it actually makes them transparent just applies a section of the wallpaper behind.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkGheith:
Hello :)

Im new here, so excuse me if i posted in the wrong section.

Im failing at taking a decision between these two :(

I know that hero has better specs, but ii think that you can mod the G1 more.

is there also alot of hacking and modding aviable for the Hero?

If so, what do you guys think about the hero? Is it really a "hero"?

-Thanks :3
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spooke:
I have both devices, I had my G1 running the Hero 1.5 which was really good, I liked it for having a hardware keyboard which makes it so easy to browse the internet, text and play games like Emulators, but there is a noticable difference between the two speed wise, although there are many G1 roms which really make it very fast (Maybe faster than the Hero?), in terms of modding I would say they are both the same..

Personally I would choose the G1 as it has a keyboard, if you dont want or need that then get the Hero :)

[EVO 4G Accessories] keatre:
Hey all,

I'm definitely interested in protecting my Evo upon purchase, as I'm always traveling and it's just nice to save it from any physical harm (as not to induce the +$100 on TEP). At the moment, I dualphone a TP and an iPhone 3G -- both have generic screen protectors and no case.

The two most thrown around names for screen and total phone protection are Zagg and BodyGaurdz. What is everyone's experience with these companies? Do the screens/bodies stay on? Do they really protect as strongly as advertised? Any problems with touchscreen via the protector? How difficult were they to actually apply and are there bubbles or peeling visible (this is my number 1 annoyance).

Didn't see a thread on it, so feel free to throw out some other companies you've had experience with in the past.

EDIT: Those with cases; do you find they're an annoyance when removing them from jeans or slacks? Feel free to submit cases as well, however I really love how the Evo looks, so I'm trying not to cover it up too much...
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
i plan on picking up an Innocase II
[EVO 4G Accessories] pwabbit:
I have the Bodyguardz on my Hero. The big piece on the back cover has proven durable. The small add-on pieces on the sides have started to peel off slightly. The plastic that is used does a great job protecting the phone from scratches and nicks. It is a bit slicker than the Hero's rubberized case so it comes out of the pocket easily when needed. I did not use the screen cover, because I don't like texture on the screen. I opted for Boxwave on the screen instead. The installation of Bodyguardz was not too difficult. It uses a soapy water spray to aid in installation. I was pleased with the end result.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fadakar:
I've used Invisible Shields on two iPod Touches(1st and 3rd gen) and my Hero, they work amazingly. One thing I hate about touchscreens is if say you wash your hands and need to go back to your phone, all the oils of your fingers have been washed out and makes using them pretty awful. Never a problem with invisible shields. Had all of them at least 8 months each(about a year and a half with my first gen iPod). Lastly, I'm a small guy and I like to look my best (;D lol) and I wear tighter slim fit jeans and I've never had any problems with taking them out of my pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] keatre:
Have you tried the full body invisible shields? I do like their screen protectors, and I'm a little curious out the full body protection as well. I've heard (as posted above, also) the BodyGaurdz start to peel on the sides after a short period of time. Have you experienced this problem at all?
[EVO 4G Accessories] brnail:
I have the Full Body Bodyguardz on my TP2 and the sides peel off rather easily.

I had the Full Body Zagg on a TP and never had any issues with peeling. BTW, I used a boxwave screen protector instead of the Zagg.

I prefer the look of the Bodyguardz but I don't like the peeling. I plan to go with Zagg.
[EVO 4G Accessories] drbadass:
i actually decided to go with what i'd heard the best things about for the HD2 and get a DQC-160 (made by 3M) here : protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-dqc-160-screen-protector-htc-hd2-28087.html
[EVO 4G Accessories] Treefallingquietly:
Can you translate that for me please?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fadakar:
Always the full body protection, on the first gen ipod it fit perfect, my hero it first perfect, but because of the odd contoured shape of the 3rd gen ipod touch the corners started peeling sooner than the other two. But my first gen started peeling after a year and a half, and I've had my hero since launch and still no peeling on this one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chandlerw88:
zagg

its funny about the invisishield, i had one on my iphone 3g and it seemed to peel about every 2 months, and i always got it installed professionaly at a kiosks
[EVO 4G Accessories] troubleshot:
I pre ordered an xoskins for $11 bucks for a full body. Google them, they have had nothing but great reviews.
[EVO 4G Accessories] coojoe1000:
Ghost Armor is the way to go. $14.99 for full body armor and it doesn't have the orange peel effect a lot of the others give you. Also they use usps priority shipping and it comes with application kit. Biased since I run a cart for them lol. We are opening Monday at Town East Mall in Mesquite, Texas so come by and take advantage of a free professional install and lifetime warranty. If you are in the phoenix area we are in every mall.

Zagg

For those of you with invisibleshield, you should know that Zagg says they replace for free, for the life of the device, any of their skins that tear or peel. I think that is the way I am going.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Dreddge:
I have never had any luck with Zagg. I always have orange peel. Bodyguardz has never given me fits, and once its on, its really on there. I love bodyguardz
[EVO 4G Accessories] TurboX2:
You guys know that Zagg has a huge memorial day sale every year right??

I think i may be buying one for my evo that im getting next week

ZAGG

I was just about to post about the zagg sell guess turbo beat me to it, i ordered mine last week, had a 50% off code from the ipad giveaway, but i have had zagg on multiply devices, and never had a problem, I even show off to my friends by trying to scratch the screen with my keys, and great customer service... By the way i have the full body coverage..
[EVO 4G Accessories] adenicol:
I have a zagg on my Touch Pro, Ipod and son's DSI. I had to replace the one on my Touch Pro twice because of issues with the Touch Pro where I had to send it in for repair. Both times, Zagg sent me out a new full body kit, I replaced it on the phone and sent back the old one. Only cost me $3 something for shipping each time.

I did notice the first time I replaced the skin after about a year that it had a yellowish tint to it when I took it off the phone but I never noticed it yellowing while it was on the phone.

One last thing that I have seen a lot of people turned off by is the "Sticky" feeling the zagg skins have. I don'y know how many times I almost dropped my Touch Pro where if it wasn't for the "Skickiness" of the skin I wouldn't have been able to catch it. I like the feel of it and it keeps it from sliding around in the car when I throw it on the dash.

I already received my new Zagg for my EVO...just need the EVO to go with it now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
HAHA 'professionally' and 'kiosk' shouldn't go together in the same sentence.

I just ordered a ZAGG due to the sale, $15 and change inc shipping. I was looking at their videos and such, it looks very easy to install and seems like it will work great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aaronb1980:
Ive used zagg on a couple of devices now and would swear by the protection they provide, but most recently i left my phone in the car and the edge of the screen protector portion of my device looks as though someone put a hairdryer to it. Lots of ripple like it was cooked. For this reason I followed a link here on xda to "clear-coat"... Bought their full body for 16.24 using a memorial day code I found on their facebook page. Original price is 24.99 for full body, figured it was worth a try considering most screen protectors alone for zagg will run you 18 or more.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrDSL:
Does anyone know if any of these full body companies do professional installs? Like where you send the phone to them and they send it back?
[EVO 4G Accessories] coojoe1000:
Where are you located at?
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrDSL:
Indiana......
[EVO 4G Accessories] atoy74:
For a full body shield I love PhantomSkinz. They work great, have no orange peel and you get two per package. Also, it's pretty easy to find a coupon code out there.

If you want a case my choice is Seidio Innocase. I've owned so many for different phones. Great quality and feel. Also, they're generally the least bulky of the options.

For my EVO i'm going with the Innocase + Seidio screen protector. If i'm not comfortable with that I'll order a PhantomSkinz.
[EVO 4G Accessories] keatre:
I had another quick question for you guys using Zagg.

As I already purchased it at 65% off, I'll live with until Steinheil (who I usually use) comes out with their Evo protectors.. But anyways, Day 1, Evo is getting Zagg -- Now for the questions.

1) The orange peel effect - This took me about 20 posts before I realized it meant the texture of the screen felt like an orange, not that the screen looks orange-y in colour, correct?

2) Does the Zagg leave any residue or have any problems when removing? For instance, is that sticky-tacky feel left on the screen after removal and if so, is it something that I can very easily remove after washing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] psx2p:
1) either the feel or the wrinkly look some zaggs get if not properly installed. the only place this grippy feeling is an issue for me is on the screen as you have to be a bit firmer than normal.

2) i have never had residue left over from any of my Zaggs

Side note: I tend to like the grippy feeling on the device except as stated, on the screen. it prevents me from dropping it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jimmiekain:
just ordered a full body at www.clear-coat.com if anyone else wants a nice full body from there you can use coupon code 25off to get 25% off! they also offer free shipping (I opted to pay $28 to get it next day but they are in PA so it probably wont go out until Thursday and hopfully i can have it by friday or Saturday!

They, like some of the others give you 2 full body skinz for the price of one have no orange peel effect and supposedly are pretty good!
[EVO 4G Accessories] blulitespecial:
I agree with you.

I've owned 2 BSE's, one invisible shield, and another full body from a random seller on ebay.

The Invisible shield on my ipod classic orange peeled fairly fast, but still works i guess. they're not worth the full retail that's for sure.

the random shield from ebay i put on my hero, and all four side pieces peeled away, however the screen works very well. As for the back, two bad my friends 5 yr old niece peeled the whole back piece off. i tried to reapply it, and it still works awesome, just a lot of bubbles.

the 2 BSE's are probably my favorite from overall value. $8 for the full body is really nice. ships very fast, and works well.

all of the shields were somewhat "sticky" until i used them for a while. nothing too terrible though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] samfreese:
ZAGG

I love my Zagg. Got mine at Best Buy and they installed it right there. Had one on a PPC6800, TP, Ipod Touch, Hero and now my Evo. My friend has Ghost Armor and it feels cheap and funny. If you get a Zagg, I'd recommend spending the extra few bucks and buy it from BB. I hate installing the @#$%^&* things, and they do it right there for free(with purchase).
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vinny75:
Even if you don't buy it from best buy... they will install it for you.. I think it was like $7 for the screen protector.. I have the full coverage one... going to get that installed later but they were busy and said it would take like 30 minutes... they did a much better job than I ever could have... I just used the squeegee to work out any small bubbles that were left over...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
Also read that this morning, extremely impressive. With the sceren set at 50% its probably still as bright as most others set much higher too...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I'd love to know what other processes were running in the background as well.

Just imagine how long this phone will last with no heavy video load running......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ziostilon:
isn't anybody questioning the credibility of this?

like how is that even possible with the specs the Galaxy S has. the processor and the Super AMOLED alone would automatically drain tons

its only got 100mAh more than the Desire stock battery. and the Desire from most accounts wont be able to do nearly that much without killing its 1400mAh battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Actually that is the opposite.

By changing the processor to a 45nm as opposed to the 65nm which other phones use makes this on it's own a huge energy saver.

Next, the screen is Super AMOLED. SA uses only a fraction of the energy found on AMOLED screens. The proof in this is you can turn the screen brilliance down to only 50% and still have a very clear and accurate appearance.

So with those two and the extra 100mAh you start to see why it will last considerably longer. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbr01:
I read somewhere that the hummingbird does 300mW while the Snapdragon does 500mW at full load. Dat shure must account or a great deal batteryperformance,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ziostilon:
thanks for the tidbits!!!

btw. how reliable are these Super AMOLED screens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Without question, Super AMOLED is the future and as far as reliability is concerned it is far better than TFT and much better than AMOLED which uses an additional glass to trap the AMOLED screen ~ hence why the i9000 is manufactured very thin.... it does not need this extra glass which in turn provides

a 20% brighter screen.

80% less sunlight reflection.

20% reduced power consumption.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] magicdroid:
other possible factors:

- Divx/Xvid decoding requires less CPU

- Hummingbird GPU supports hardware decoding with very low power requirements
[Galaxy S I9000 General] magicdroid:
and EIGHT days of standby time!

(link added in first post)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] richiebm:
They are indeed brighter... but are 20% brighter than the other AMOLED screens... Capacitive TFTs however are 50% more brighter than the AMOLEDS...

Also, the galaxy has a very low screen ppi (pixels per inch) - somewhere around 233 ppi compared to iPhone 4's 326 and the droid's 260 (approx) hence it appears pixellated ....

What makes the S-AMOLED screen a winner here is the awesome contrast ratio which puts all other phones to bitter shame.. hence the vibrance in video quality and a much better viewing experience compared to other smartphones..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damirbusic:
WTF, I have only 12-15 hours of battery endurance with little WiFi surfing and thats it ! I even use Juice Defender so my data and WiFi are always OFF when the screen is OFF. I really dont know how to get at least 24 hours like Ive had on my Xperia X10 :( Maybe ADW is draining or what ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
EDIT: Nvm noticed this was a necro.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TNStrangelove:
233ppi is not anywhere close to being very low ppi by any sane persons standards, in fact it is a very high ppi compared to many devices (both mobile and full sized).What makes it appear pixellated is more likely the Pentile subpixel matrix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psp888:
7 hrs it totally realistic. I tested playing a 720p mkv of Avatar for 1 hour and it only used 15% battery. so 90% would be 6hrs and a HD 720p video would be much more intense than a divx video.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
Wow! That's actually very impressive... I doubt seeing battery life that good myself though...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] richiebm:
The human eye is not insensitive to a resolution of 233 ppi. We can clearly perceive pixel densities less than 572 ppi, beyond which it becomes impossible to differentiate each pixel. (source : displaymate)

The point is, when compared to other smartphone displays in the market, galaxy has the lowest...

Also, the galaxy has a high power consumption for white color...

Here is an in depth article on the head and tail of Smartphone displays right from TFTs to OLEDs..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davith:
There must be some app that's running in the background. With little to no surfing, you should at least get 2 days out of it.

Maybe try to flash again (with complete wipe and everything) without installing any app. Then check whether the issue is still there. If yes, then there's a problem with your battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TNStrangelove:
I'm aware that you can see pixels in a 800 by 480 4 inch screen however to call it pixelated is false it has a higher DPI than my computer monitor which I never notice as being pixelated. By a display being pixelated I mean that it is regularly noticeable without trying. In this sense the hd2 is not pixelated but the galaxy s is despite the Hd2 having a LOWER ppi than the galaxy s. This is due to the pentile matrix.

This is patently false I can name 3 high end smartphones off the top of my head with lower ppi than the galaxy s (evo, desire hd, Hd2) the point is having a screen which you can see pixels if you try does not make it "very low dpi".

This however is correct, three times the power for white. No power for black.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] richiebm:
You are right.. Perhaps I should have said.. it is lower compared to a few other smartphones.

Also, the viewing distance being around 20 cms should make little or no difference whether its the retina display or the S-AMOLED....

I did a bit of research on the pentile matrix and I think the noticeable pixels are infact due to that only. A proprietary technology from Samsung, it is solely responsible for the very high contrast ratio between black and white colors; and for the low power consumption. It uses sub - pixel rendering and human eye limitations to achieve those features, but compromising on the pixel density.

Yet, most of my battery usage is due to the display and my phone can survive without a recharge for only around 40-50 hours... Maybe its a bit less but better than most of the other phones out there!
