Thanks for your response,

I'd wrongly assumed there must be an option to sync the merges back to Google, as like you say that's what it should do, at least now I know to give up looking for the option, cheers.

And unfortunately I'm to lazy to do it manually too (took me long enough to do on the phone)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Once you sync contacts so long as you sync with Outlook/Google it should keep the links. Might take a while at first but once done it should be permanent
[Desire General] fozzy010:
Yea I understand that, but I would have liked them to be merged if I looked at the contacts through Gmail on a computer, or if I updated to Froyo without Sense.

So rather than just keep the links, actually merge the contacts, for if I using something other than an HTC phone with Sense.
[Desire General] alias_neo:
Exactly, I use multiple devices and I want all my contacts centralized and not duplicated.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Ahhh, got ya! So it'd have the info without linking to Facebook you mean?

Suppose you could just update the contact with all info you want on it and sync this with your devices...
[Desire General] iain2510:
Could try using Thunderbird as your pc email client (it has a duplicate contact add on) and something like Zindus to sync with gmail. This way you use your pc to sort your contacts and then sync to gmail, and then gmail to your phone. I've found this to work as long as you keep all of the contacts on Thunderbird under the default group (I created a group/email list and have spent the last two days working out why everyone in the group had disappeared from my phone:|)

[Desire General] fozzy010:
Yea so for example, because some of my contacts are quite old, they were set up when you could only have one number with a contact so for some i have:

x mobile

x home

x work

so as HTC made it relatively easy I decided to merge these all into one contact.

Likewise for a lot of them I had email addresses stored on my gmail account, and HTC made it relatively easy to link these the email to a contact.

So I now have a set of nicely constructed contacts on my phone, but multiple entries for them in my google account, so would have liked an option to just make the links a permanent merge.

And yea I know I can do this manually, but it took long enough to do this on my phone in the first place, and as I've already said I'm too lazy to do it again. This thread wasn't meant to me moaning, just checking to see if there was a merger option or trick I was missing.

Edit: Thanks Iain I'll have a look at that when I have some spare time
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Lol, I know it wasn't a moaning thread - don't think there is the option at the moment. TBH I bite the bullet and have a good prune session every now and then and get Outlook fully up to date and sync off that. I don't sync with Google
[Desire General] Dahaniel:
Damn, I loved the contact merging on my HTC Diamond, gmail was always up-to-date. Why the hell is HTC not doing the same on Android but just linking.... It looks good on the phone but is a mess in gmail...
[Desire General] Schmeggma:
If you have multiple Google contacts it's pretty easy to merge them online:

http://mail.google.com/mail/contacts/ui/ContactManager

(have to be logged into gmail to access it ;))
[Desire General] Dahaniel:
THX for that hint. But what I loved in TouchFlo was that my gmail conacts got automatically updated with info from Facebook, like the birthdays for example which then also showed up in the Google Calendar. Or when somebody changed mail adress or phonenumber, via TouchFlo these were automatically propagated to the Gogle Contacts.
[Desire General] Arg0t:
Think this a FB issue, know they recently changed API access to prevent apps pulling down Birthdays automatically and saving of phone numbers has always been a no no for any apps.

Droid gets around this by preventing saving the number permanently or amending on the device.
[Desire General] Geekybiker:
Old thread I know, but I was looking to do this and solved it.

-Export your address book on the phone to vcard.

-Email yourself this file. (You may need astro to find it. I used k9 mail and astro)

-Save this file on your PC.

-Goto your google contacts list on your PC.

-Import a vcard. Direct it to this file.

-Google automagically merges the contacts for you.

The unfortunate part is that you still have to manually delete the contacts that were on your phone, but at least everything is in the cloud now. You could just blow away your contacts entirely and resync.
[Desire General] alias_neo:
Thanks, I'll try this later. It's still a problem that's bugging me to death. I keep getting returned 5 or 6 of the same number for a contact. Hopefully this will help.
[Desire General] pandaking:
Bit of a necromance but ran into this issue with my Desire HD.

Thanks for the solution, can't believe there's not a better way....
[Desire General] kekkle:
I have all my contacts in Gmail. All their numbers and email addresses are in there.

So whenever I edit a contact, it's edited in Gmail. It's pretty much all 'in the cloud'.
[Desire General] spile:
I use Outlook categories to keep my contacts clean and manageable. For syncing I am currently using MyPhoneExplorer after coming to grief with HTC Sync.
[Desire General] w0utje:
I've done some research now.

I found the app in the market called: GO contacts

this app can export ALL your contacts, also the ones that your HTC or android found with syncing with facebook, hyves, twitter, whatsapp, linkedin etc.

exported and imported in my gmail, so I have all the contacts in my gmail.

If they now remove their phone number (from facebook in example)

I still have it ;)

Here's a link to where you can find all the ROMs and radio available for your N1 after rooting it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654869

You can never go wrong with the ROMs available right now. They all have their benefits, pros and cons so I suggest you try em yourself.

Froyo isn't officially out yet, so it wont be available via OTA for who knows when. The leaked version is available to try out, and although there are minor issues on this ROM, its definitely usable and I'm very satisfied with it.

[General Questions and Answers] manojmka:
I have P320 and I have stored all contacts as First Name and Last Name. I use File as "First Name Last Name" option every time I save a contact. I can see all my contacts in the similar fashion also.

I recently bought a car (Ford Figo) with MP3 player with bluetooth connectivity and when I sync my phone phonebook with it, it always show my contacts as Last Name, First Name. How can I correct this?
[General Questions and Answers] manojmka:
I tried selecting default choice for File As "First name last name" in outlook, but no help.
[General Questions and Answers] s.arunprabhakar:
See the format in your address book of the phone and change that to the one you want. BT relay will retain the address book format.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mlts22:
After my experience with the CLIQ where I was lucky enough to disable OTA updates, but watched as other people ended up with a radio ROM that bootlooped their custom images, and that the low level flash update removed the original RAMDLD hole, one of the primary considerations I have now for a device is how easy it is to not just root, but reflash.

By chance, does anyone maintain a list of devices that either are easy to mod versus other ones that sign the Linux kernel blocking updates, keep filesystems read-only even to root, and other gotchas? This way, I can steer clear of phones that are likely not going to have much of modding options available and go for a device that is easy to customize.

The T-Mobile Pulse can be rooted very easily, but there isn't a big mod scene for it, although you will find a great community for it at Modaco, it runs Android 2.1... I dont quite get ur last part though?? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MonkySlap:
Nexus One is the easiest to unlock and root. "fastboot oem-unlock" and it unlocks the bootloader and you can flash any image you want to system, data, boot, zimage, and recovery.

Acer liquid is unlocked so it's the easyest. Nexus One is on second because it's very easy to unlock.

i'd also venture to say that the sprint hero is very easy to root as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Adamsville MITM:
G1 and Mytouch

easy to root

excelent ROM selection
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rutger1413:
Moto Droid is fairly easy. You will have to downgrade to 2.0 and then you can use something like Droidmod to do everything for you. I prefer to manually load my roms and make backups, but for ease of use, Droidmod is about as easy as you can get.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tcrews:
It's gotten a lot easier than this...

You just have to flash the SPRecovery image to the phone using RSDlite vs. flashing the whole system and then you can boot into SPRecovery and run update.zip to gain root.

Droidmod is considered outdated these days and most have moved on to Rom Manager.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheDeadCPU:
Well.. Actually, by far the ADP1(G1), It's rooted out of the box! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donald-c:
Is the Nexus One not meant to be very easy to root?

The Desire is kinda easy to root (with the files released by Paul at Modaco) but it's not fully rooted :(

Why is my HTC TP2 Acting like slowpoke?

it laggs like REALLY REALLY MUCH

freezes much etc etc.

i have this problem with ALL ROM's.

even the standart european!

what am i doing wrong?

i use

task29

then

customruu.exe

and reboot.

after using 1-2 hours i notice the slowpoke speed..

how can i fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] forster:
1. Disable unused internet connections. (Modaco "no data" application, for example).

2. DIssable 3g, use only GSM. go to settings wireless controls -> 3g click only to GSM.

3. Dissable homescreen weather animation.

[hkcu]\software\htc\manila\home.wallpapermode - change to 2

4. Dissable unused manila tabs - preferebly all internet.

Registry > HKLM > Software > HTC > Manila > HTCService > I have disable twitter and stocks. just rename twitterService.dll to twitterServiceXXX.dll and Yahoo stock service YgosrvService.dll to YgosrvServiceXXX.dll. If you are using energy, you can dissable recent documents tab, reader, facbook, call history tabs as well.

for registry changes you can use total commander ->plugins->registry.

Softreset the phone.

hope this will work.

I have had a look for an application that can give me a simple update on the news and is fitted well into the UI. I have looked at 'pointsense' but i dont think it can do what i want ?

To explain better i want something similar to what can be done with android where they add widgets that give news feeds, a simple swipe across the screen and there is a page of current always updating news. I dont mind using UI changing program. I have also tried Manilla and tried to get this set up somehow but so far with no luck.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremy.Bentham:
I need a little help. I'm making the jump from unlocked iphones to the Nexus One and have a newly acquired nexus one that has already been rooted and set with the 2.2 Froyo rom, and what I am told is the most popular Cyanogen HTC rom. The 2.2 Froyo rom seems to work perfectly, but my preference is the HTC ROM listed under my back up as BOS-20100531-0408. When I am running this ROM, I am unable to connect to 3G, or edge for that matter. (wifi connects fine) I have attempted the simple steps of dialing *#*#4636#*#* and changing the setting from WCDMA preferred to WCDMA Only, but this has had no effect. I lose signal for a second, then my bars come back, but no 3G and no edge. I am certain this is a T-Mobile model Nexus and I have the appropriate internet package as well. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

update: The 3G works fine under Froyo, just not the HTC incase that wasn't clear. Thank you.

hello guys,

since i had bought hd2 i've searched lots of websites to optimize my htc for the usage for making operations in forex markets. if there are some people who are interested in this financial market, which tools are used by themselves can you share with us?
[HD2 General] loukas:
Metatrader mobile is excellent on the big screen of the HD2. Check it out...
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
Is that as in Castlemaine Forex?
[HD2 General] shallowe:
of course metatrade mobile is the first app that should be installed but in addition to this especially to follow markets real time, which apps or methods do you use ? for example one of my reasons to be envious about iphone is dukascopy application which also enables following TV channel of Dukascopy and real time information.

for me reaching news in real time is most important, if i follow rss feeds these are not too useful for real time and twitter also and it gives us maximum 5 minutes for updating.

what are your methods? from which sources do you get benefit?
[HD2 General] loukas:
I don't follow news when mobile. As I mostly rely on technical analysis, I only need to have access to charts and a select number of indicators. This is provided by Metatrader mobile.

Mostly, I try to enter positions from my computer, where I have full access to data, custom indicators etc. The mobile is used to follow up the position, modify the stop loss / take profit and close positions.

Metatrader mobile uses a lot of resourses. The fact that HD2 has a fast processor and lots of memory makes running metatrader quite feasible. The large screen allows to have a clearer view of the market (compared to previous WM phones), especially in Landscape mode.

The question is whether MT4 mobile will be supported out of the box in WM7...

Interestingly enough, Oanda recently came out with an application for the iPhone. Plus many brokers are introducing MT4 applications for the iPhone, eg. FXPro.
