Hi,

I just got a Desire and have it connected to work exchange server via activesync. All my contacts imported OK and I can click on a contact and call them via the phone app. If I decide to long press and 'view contact', then 'edit contact', choose the exchange activesync one, no phone numbers are shown at all. I just have 'mobile' with no number. I enter a number there, click save, go back, and it's still not there. I've tried adding additional numbers like home, works, etc as well, but they are never shown.

Is this a bug or an I doing somthing stupid?

Thanks,

Paul
[Desire General] pjsmith:
Spoke to htc support about this. The chap was most helpful, but we didn't find a solution. In the end I deleted the axchange account and added it back in, and voila! All the same contacts but with phone numbers this time. No idea why they didn't come across before...

[Desire General] Cynabal:
Im going to Turkey for 2 weeks at the end of august and would like to use my Desire to log on the net check emails and stuff, but i dont want to use my Orange SIM as roaming data is expensive!

My phones unlocked so im guessing i could just buy a turkish pre pay SIM to use my phone, but im not sure what the turkish networks are like? do they have 3g? do they support internet on a prepay SIM? ive also heard if you buy a SIM over there it only works for a few days till it gets cut off if your not using a Turkish phone?

Or is there a UK operator prepay SIM i could use that has cheap data while abroad (if such a thing exists?)

If anyone has any ideas id welcome the input.
[Desire General] freedom77:
You can buy a prepaid SIM from Turkey. All operators have 3g and also prepaid internet services. After you buy prepaid SIM, your device will be registered turkey network. Vodafone Turkey provides the cheapest internet services in Turkey.
[Desire General] Rew64:
Can confirm it works in Turkey. I always use Turkcell when I'm there. :)

Hello

I have one HTC Desire but I would like to install a particular son like a music in place of the general song provide on the HTC Desire. The problem is not possible (for me) to replace the alerte song not installed on the HTC desire.

Thank you very much for your help

Try putting a music file in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications or /sdcard/ringtones. Worked for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bt1980:
I find that there are a lot of apps in ROMs that I don't use and would like to remove. There are also apps that I need and would like to have even in the event that I need to do a wipe on my phone (like it is really nice to start off with a file manager that allows access to my SD card to run other local APK installers).

***WARNING*** I would make sure you have a ROM downloaded to your SD card and ready to flash, and make a nandroid backup before proceeding... just in case you accidentally take down something essential to your phone operating***

- step 1 "adb devices"

- step 2 "adb remount"

- step 3 "adb shell"

- "rm" and "mv" work as commands

- apps installed to system (part of ROM) are in "/system/app/"

- downloaded apps reside in "/data/app/"

- so you could rm stuff from "/system/app/" to get rid of unwanted apps

- you can also mv stuff from "/data/app/" to "/system/app/" to make sure certain apps cannot be uninstalled and will remain even if wiped

- lastly "reboot"

This way you can remove unused system apps like Amazon MP3

If you want to make sure that WaveSecure doesn't get uninstalled, you can move it into system.

In my case I removed Launcher2 and then I moved Launcher Pro to the system (in case I wipe my data and then have no launcher at all).

Enjoy!

[Desire General] st0kes:
I've had my desire for a week, it was a good upgrade from the HTC Magic.

But after one week and only installing about 40 apps I have run out of phone storage already (5Mb remaining). Bahhh ... HTC I am not impressed, why didn't you learn your lesson from the G1 and when everyone complained about this 18 months ago and at least give us a couple of gigs of phone storage.

Until this happened I was actually happy not to root, the stock rom seems fine to me. But now I will invalidate my warranty if I want to be able to install google earth (20Mb) and a bunch of other 3d games with my usual every-day apps.

You can argue I knew this before I bought the phone but it still surprised me how quickly that phone storage was used up. 1 week is a joke.

</rant>

Sorry for ranting ...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Google Earth ain't all that tbh...
[Desire General] st0kes:
You totally missed the point of my rant but never mind.

I agree, Google Earth turned out to be a 5 minute wonder, I uninstalled it to recover the storage space.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No I got the point, I was just commenting on Google Earth!!

I agree A2SD would've been nice but I have very few apps on my Desire. It's a phone so I use it to make calls, send SMSs and keep up-to-date with email/Facebook/Twitter and that's it so space isn't an issue

Hi all,

About a month ago I started to have a problem attaching to win mob. I thort it was because the evaluation copy of win 7 was ending. I finally got enough cash to by a copy of win7 home premium which I installed now I cant get the touch screen to work on win 7 side and win mob still won’t attach I have gone through heaps of threads but nothing seem to work. When using the USB tool it sound like it connects but win7 doesn’t pick any thing up at all.

Can anyone help?
[Shift General] samstables:
I don't think Win 7 Home comes with the Windows Mobile Device Centre (the replacement for activesync) so you need to install that before Win7 can see the WinMo side.

Hope that helps

I know the hotspot option is part of the additional 30 bucks but what about tethering va the USB cable.

Is PDANet what I need to buy to get wired tethering to work, or is there a free app or registry hack available. I am new to Android so I don't know if there even is a registry involved with the O.S.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
If you plan on rooting there are a ton of free options in the Market

Also do you recommend any other apps to add to my phone like removing system apps and such..

Thank you guys...

ask in the rooting thread!

Well no luck on information about tethering.My computer connects the the android tether,but computer cannot load pages online.

Once you tethered did you go to Settings->Wireless Networks and turn on Sprint Hotspot?
[EVO 4G General] michael338:

No i did not know that.Didnt know i had to turn on the sprint hotspot.I will try that and thank you..
[EVO 4G General] michael338:
Didnt work

Thanks for trying.It says error.Man i wish things where that easy.Its never easy.I start tether first and then go to settings and click on sprint hotspot.It wont turn on but says error at the bottom of that tab.Now i tried the other way and turn on hot spot first which turns on.Then i go to tether and start it then gives me error.One being channel failed and the other.I know its got to be easy if there is people that have done this.

Sorry again for so many questions.

Hi all,

I have Myns warm donut Nand flashed to my Kaiser.

This is the second time this has happened:

Turned phone back on, and it constantly displays android_power: wakeup (0->0) at *a load of numbers that change* (todays date eg 2010-06-07 15:28:29.666103333 UTC)

It does this every couple of seconds or so and keeps going on for forever.

Last time I reformatted my phone, but its a pain to keep losing my stuff and reflashing.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Take panel 2/3 ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Hi, thanks for replying, im not sure if your asking which panel I have or to try a different one.

Ill answer both just to be sure, im on panel 3, i have tried all panels and all start up ok, other then graphics issues they all work.

As for trying a different panel, I dont think that will work as it was ok before, but I will try it if thats what your asking me?

Thanks again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
There is a probable power wakeup difference between panels 2 and 3, which can cause wakeup issues even when the display seems perfectly fine.

However I'm not certain this is the problem here, I recall having a similar problem with warm donut which seemed to be related to the way it was powered down and restarted, I often had to do a battery pull before restarting, this stopped happening after an update when I fixed permissions and cleared the dalvik cache, perhaps worth a try?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
9 times out of 10 this error seems to be something corrupted in the system somewhere.

you can try the 'fix permissions' and 'clear dalvik cache'

you can even try 're-install app_s'

but most likely you will need to re-install the system.

you could re-install system without clearing data.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
I tried fix permissions, didnt work.

I was worried that clear dalvik cache would damage so I didnt do that before. This time I tried it, and it started!

Can anyone tell me what this does? Ive looked around and it seems to be something to do with a cache for applications? Is that right?

Thanks guys
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Dalvik is the Virtual Machine that Android applications run on, the cache I believe stores application code to speed up execution time.

Clearing the cache will mean that the initial start up time will be longer, but any corrupt data will have been cleared, which is what I suspected was the problem when this happened to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] blindguyinanorgy:
also try kallt_kaffe's newest build (june 8), be sure to read the post at the end you will need to check the "Include ppp.nostart=0, and default clock and battery capacity settings" box

Hoping that someone can give some advice...

I used to work for RadioShack and left some 5 years ago but never came off the RS Plan for Sprint. Have been able to change phones without the need to also change my plan...until now.

I tried switching to the PRE, but was told I could only do so if I changed my plan which I wasn't willing to do at that time. Now with the EVO, I am willing to change my plan.

When I tried doing it last night, was told at BB that I can't even do that anymore. If I wanted the EVO, I would have to close my existing account and open a new one - loosing my number. That doesn't make sense to me - if that's the case I will just port my number to Verizon and get the Incredible for the time being...

Any Sprint Reps that can help? PM me and I will send my number....

Thanks...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I was in the same boat as you. This is what you have to do to correct this issue:

Step 1: Call CS and tell them to put you on the lowest possible plan.

Step 2: Tell them to transfer you to the credit department.

Step 3: Have them run credit and approve you

(By the way I say run credit because when you get a RS special account credit was never ran. They need to run credit to establish a valid credit class on your account)

The process can be done if you have someone from Sprint on the phone while you're in the store.

Go to Radioshack and get the phone and when they pull you up in the system they should be able to set everything up.

I had a RS account with Nextel/Sprint for like 5 years and I didn't have to setup a new account and I still have my Nextel number too. It works and don't let them tell you no.
