I saw the other week someone asking how to change normal phone contacts into Google contacts, well I found a way.

1. Open People and press menu. Then press import/export.

2. Press export to SD card and then choose the type of contact to export (phone in this case).

3. Delete the contacts from your phone. Press menu, then delete, menu again, select all, and finally delete.

4. Go back to the now empty People list and press menu and import/export.

5. Press the option to import from SD card and then choose the file to import. You will then be able to choose what type of contact you would like them to be made into. In this case select Google.

6. You now have Google contacts on your phone which will sync up with Google.

Let me know if this helps.

Rik.

This post is for people who have the power button issue, but unlocked their bootloader. This is my story.

I sent my Nexus One in on 06/28/10 and received it today at 12:00 on 07/09/10. I called them up because of the power button malfunction issue. It got as bad as not turning on AT ALL. This obviously broke my little android loving heart, but nevertheless I called HTC. I came out right off the bat and was honest with them and told them "I unlocked my bootloader, my power button stopped working, can you help me?" their answers were "yes, $190 and we will replace the motherboard for you." This power button malfunction was not MY fault at all, I baby my phone to no end. I went ahead and sent it in. $190 is a STEEP price to pay, but to be without my beloved Nexus One would surely be hell. They sent me a confirmation that they received it and the wait began. I'll skip to the end now. They finally said they would repair the broken power button FREE OF CHARGE and they put a new screen on as well! Got my phone back with 2.1-update1 ERE27. THANK YOU HTC!

TL;DR

Sent phone in with unlocked bootloader. HTC replaced the motherboard for free.
[Nexus One General] cigar3tte:
Why would it cost $190 if it's under warranty? Or because the bootloader was unlocked it's considered void?
[Nexus One General] player911:
yea I noticed some dust starting to get in underneith my screen right above the Back button. You can really only tell while in direct sunlight, but I fear it will become worse. I'd hate to be without my phone for that long.

At least with other carrier phones, they'll ship you a replacement before you ship one back... so you aren't without a phone. I mean, what the hell am I gonna do for a phone for 2-3 weeks?
[Nexus One General] ctbear:
You sure are lucky with HTC.

I sent my phone back on June 21 for motherboard replacement, paid $196, but until today (July 9) I still haven't received it yet :(
[Nexus One General] cigar3tte:
You're supposed to get advanced replacement unless your phone is engraved.
[Nexus One General] xandr00:
since the bootloader is unlocked it is considered void. I sent it in anyways because I love android and I love my nexus one and I was willing to pay the 190 if need be. I used a sidekick the whole time, needless to say I HATED it.
[Nexus One General] player911:
No the phone isn't engraved. So call Tmobile and they'll take care of it? or Google? or HTC?
[Nexus One General] cigar3tte:
I'd go Google if you bought from them online. T-Mobile has no tie to it. When I called TMO about my 3G issues and mentioned Nexus One, I got directed to Google.

I'm pretty sure Google will transfer you to HTC at some point.
[Nexus One General] kaiser_tytnii:
I talked to a Google employee for over an hour, there is absolute,y nothing they can do to waive the charge for unlocked bootloader since they only support software while htc takes care of hardware
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
I've sent my phone in 3 times now....

1 - sent in as teflon started peeling from chin of phone (bootloader was unlocked and custom ROM) - repaired FOC and reflashed back to stock.

2 - sent in as dust under bottom left of screen. (bootloader was unlocked again and custom ROM) - repaired FOC and reflashed back to stock.

3 - Recently in California on business and noticed dust again, rung HTC to see if they would exchange my handset as I know they do this in the US but not the UK, they sent a replacement to my suppliers address within 2 days and replaced FOC. (bootloader was unlocked for the 3rd time! :D)

Exceptional service.
[Nexus One General] javi806:
I'm hoping for the same luck. I just sent my phone in for the same reason...
[Nexus One General] stuff:
I would like to send mine in, since I'm having a pink-ish LED tint, but... I actually opened the phone, so the void sticker has been removed.

:(
[Nexus One General] ronj1986:
Replace nexus one

Hi Guys

I have a few questions. What info must you provide to have your phone exchanged. I bought one from someone online, and don't have the original receipt. So I want to know if I ever have any problems what do I need to do. Also if they will cover the phone even though I'm not the original purchaser, can I tell them what address to ship it to?
[Nexus One General] bullyfrog:
For those facing the power button issue. Do take note that it does not actually require a motherboard replacement to fix it.

HTC wants to replace the motherboard as you have an unlocked bootloader.

They are two separate issues.

After a week of arguing with them, I managed to have my power button problem fixed without them replacing my motherboard.
[Nexus One General] cowboyfarmer:
Same here, I bought a used Nexus One but want to know what info HTC would need from me if I need to send my phone in for repair. Any info from folks who have sent in their Nexus One to HTC would be much appreciated.
[Nexus One General] cowboyfarmer:
Yeah, I had problem with my second hand Nexus One's power button. It ran Froyo FRF50. The problem was if I pressed the power button, nothing happened, and when I pressed the power button again, the screen came on for a fraction of a second and then the phone turned itself off. But after i upgraded to FRF83, the problem disappearred. I have since upgraded to FRF93 and the problem has not come back, knock on wood.
[Nexus One General] javi806:
All they asked me for was the phone's IMEI and my name...
[Nexus One General] bullyfrog:
I faced the same thing. Except I wasn't so lucky. My power button started acting up again after two weeks from the update. Hence had to send it in and had a long dispute as they wanted to change the motherboard. Did not allow them to do it and after many many exchanges they finally fixed the power button without replacing the motherboard.
[Nexus One General] WebghostDK:
My phone had a issue with mounting the SD card because i plugged it into a USB3 port, and it had a unlocked bootloader.

I contacted HTC and they fixed it anyway by replacing the mobo.

I was without my N1 in 6 days and i sent it to UK from Denmark :-)

HTC rocks.
[Nexus One General] xxjoshuaaxx:
I had that issue. Except I didn't tell them my bootloader was unlocked. Lol, got it fixed for free.
[Nexus One General] javi806:
I didn't tell them mine was unlocked either; Not that they could tell since it won't turn on...
[Nexus One General] xandr00:
I bought mine off of craigslist. Im OP. Got it replaced free of charge.
[Nexus One General] ronj1986:
What is OP?

Also am I understanding correctly, that if i give HTCA my imei # they will cover it under the warranty.
[Nexus One General] putney:
OP = Original Poster
[Nexus One General] jusumgeezer:
Mine had trouble with signal, it was stuck on emergency calls only, bootloader unlocked but no root or custom rom. Emailed HTC they sent back a repair form & UPS label. They picked it up from my home. Tracked the progress on their site, it said chargeable repair. Phoned them to ask why & they said not to worry as only a few weeks old. I bought it off ebay BTW, but there was no mention of receipt, original owner or anything else, they just said it was guaranteed for 2 years & the website has experiencing problems & always showing charges. Rang back towards end of week & they apologised for the delay & pushed it through as a priority.

Phone came back by UPS few days later with a new Mobo & locked bootloader.

No charges been paid.

Bravo HTC!

:D
[Nexus One General] ronj1986:
I bought it off ebay BTW, but there was no mention of receipt, original owner or anything else, they just said it was guaranteed for 2 years

Is this how it normally happens or happens for the rest of you who have sent the phone in for repairs?
[Nexus One General] player911:
My N1 recently got screwed up where it always thought it was in headset mode. I had to jiggle a headphone jack in the port a few times before it would come out of it and allow me to make calls.

Called Google. Gave them my name and IMEI number. Told them I had reset it, factory defaulted it, etc. They asked what firmware; I said 2.2.

We called up HTC and I gave them the serial number off the box and he started emailed me a link and a fedex thing.

I am just doing a swap so I'm not without mine for a week.
[Nexus One General] xandr00:
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus One General] cowboyfarmer:
This is great to hear! Am glad I bought a used Nexus One and still get the remaining of its original 2-year warranty.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Yea it did. But it clearly had several hardware problems.

I did however get my replaced Nexus today. Looks new. Came in just a brown box with a giant clear sticker surrounding it. I know it's probably NOT new, but whatever. Weird thing though. Both the Google and HTC guy told me to remove everything from my original phone before shipping it back. We joked how people keep sending back their microSD cards and I told him that would suck because I have a 16gig disk. He laughed and said that would be a good one to send him.

Anyway, while moving my SD card, I found the new one had a 4gb in there like before. Both company's told me not to send back an SD card, so basically I got another 4gb microSD card to add to my collection.
[Nexus One General] xandr00:
awesome! So you just did a warranty exchange and they shipped you a new one and you incurred no charges, right?
[Nexus One General] h0llyw00dj0e:
Wow that's great. Thanks for the heads up. What's does the warranty cover? (period of time)
[Android Software Development] Quintasan:
Hello guys, I was wondering how hard would it be to cross-compile/port VIM and/or bash/zsh to our Android phones. I'm using Motorola Milestone and I have tried several online guides to compile bash but no matter what I did it would end up compiling it for x86_64 instead of arm. Same with VIM.
[Android Software Development] Quintasan:
Well, it required a little effort but I got it, works with Motorola Milestone, if anyone is intersted it is here

dl.dropbox.com/u/69524/vim
[Android Software Development] cauli:
A bit cheeky, but is there any chance of a build suitable for the HTC Hero? From and-developers, I note one needs: export _XXCFLAGS=" -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s" (if you have HTC Hero or other device on Quallcomm MSM 7200A).

Better still, pointers to a build tutorial would be fantastic, should one exist or you choose to write one ;) I have Vista & Ubuntu on my laptop.

In any case, thanks for sharing your efforts.
[Android Software Development] Slie:
Thank you! Thank You!!!

Dude thank you. hahah

Would you tell me how you did that.

Working on my nexus one!
[Android Software Development] Drebon:
Is there a tutorial

Hello, I am looking for a zsh build for the spica.

I was also wondering if arm debian packages could be used.

Vim would also be fantastic.
[Android Software Development] Zindy:
I know, this is realy old thread, but this problem is still actual. I found realy interesting solution called ZShaolin, which contains many linux a unix terminal tools and brings them to android platform.
[Android Software Development] jaromil.rojo:
ZShaolin light build for xda-dev

Hi there,

FYI, I've posted a light and free version of ZShaolin for the xda-dev forums here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47594948&postcount=7

It contains a static build of Zsh 5 along with a sane term environment, it should be portable and re-usable also outside of ZShaolin with some tweaking :cool:

I'm happy to know if it becomes useful for others too.

Regarding Vim complete (compiled with huge features) that is also available as a static build, but its in the full version of ZShaolin for sale from the Android market.

For more info see http://zshaolin.org

happy hacking :cowboy:

I have tried to flash new radio (update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14-signed.zip), but after flashing and manual reboot (home+back) there is only text: Formatting cache...

Any idea? :confused:

SOLVED: when you will facing this issue, just reboot the phone and everything will be OK. Many thanks to Pulser from VillainROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] catzilla:
I have the 1.2 MyTouch, with 3.5 mm jack.

AFAIK, it's 32B, but somehow different? Can I flash any the dev SPL on it somehow?

How many models of MyTouch are there, anyway?

Seemed like 32A and 32B, but multiple wikis warn me about not trying stuff meant for 32B on the 1.2 MyTouch.

I am totally confused =(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
Its a 32a board with 32b radio.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
is it meebo that gave me 100% wake time last night or was it the htc ime mod?

they were both in the running services list when i awoke this morning

please and thank you

edit: im running stock .6 rooted. no apps dl'd
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfit0313:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
its meebo...

its meebo for me. while htc ime mod is running, it wasnt causing the awake time. based on my tests anyway. arent there any messengers that work well? i use msn.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Use Spare Parts > Battery History > Partial wake usage to determine what's keeping your phone awake

Also, Trillian for android is coming out soon
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
was your phone connected to your computer via USB? If I'm not mistaken, that'll keep it from sleeping

nah, no usb connection. it was[definitely] meebo...

I'll be driving along with full service, listening to Pandora or using Google Maps and all of a sudden the music will quit or the maps will quit downloading. The up arrow will be solid white and the down arrow will be solid gray. It will stay like this with no data transfer for a long time unless I reboot the phone. This happens on multiple ROMs. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abmone:

This is happening to me also but I'm blaming sprint because it happened before and after rooting.

I'm in Denver.

[Updated]

Added button to change ringer state: Silent, Vibrate, Normal

NOTE: You cannot change ringer/notification levels with the widget if ringer state is in Silent or Vibrate. You will notice the icons fade out.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone. I developed a small widget to quickly change volume levels for media, ringtone, notification, and alarm. I find myself wanting to turn media volume on/off all the time, and I couldn't find a good solution in the Market, so I made my own.

You can download it from the Market. Just search for Mission Control. There is an SD version (G1, Hero, etc), and an HD version (Evo, Nexus, etc).

If you guys find any bugs or have suggestions for it, just let me know. This is my first Android app, so please be gentle. :P

Mission Control HD.apk (right-click Save As)

Mission Control SD.apk (right-click Save As)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dukins:
This is pretty nice. The sound board to the right doesnt work for me on the EVO. What is it supposed to do?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Nice, could you use some iPhone icons by any chance?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davesters81:
Nice handy little app. I just downloaded from the market and put it on one of my panels. I like the three level toggles. this will be great when at the theater or a meeting and want to turn everything off really quick.

Thanks for the app!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
The control panel is non-functional at the moment. My plans are to use it to allow a user to fully customize a button to do anything they want, along with choosing any icons they want as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
I looked around for some good iPhone-style icons, but couldn't find any that I liked. I'll continue to search and see what I can come up with.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dukins:
Only other thing I would like to see, is when you press one of the toggles that it changes your phone settings to vibrate, silent, etc.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
I could send you some.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
I like that idea. I believe I will add this one. I could see that coming in handy as well. Thanks dukins.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
That would be great. You can email them to evertith@gmail.com

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wighty:
Cascade mode

GREAT looking app! Only problem, when using it (HD) with launcher pro (on EVO), the widget gets disbled when going into cascade mode. i don't know if it has anything to do with my phone having "Sense" banned (using DC 3.2.3) or the devopment of the widget just doesn't have cascade support yet.

keep up the good work :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oldpreowner:
Great app. Works perfect on EVO.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] derekdlc:
Great widget... Looks awesome on Nexus One. What does the ! icon control?

Thanks ahead of time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
Thanks. The ! controls the notification level. That's the only icon I could come up with to represent a notification. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evertith:
Thanks for the observation. I'll try it out and see if I can fix the bug. Appreciate the comments. :)

Just watched a review on the HTC evo4G and was impressed but unsure if I am an Android man???? what are your thoughts?

Evo4G vs HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
I've never tried Android, but if that phone wasn't CDMA I'd probably give it a go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NathanRandom:
The EVO is definitely a device I'd love to have a go with. I enjoy using my HD2 but the EVO definitely has a few features i'd be interested in, mainly the Android OS, but also the better camera and the HDMI out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeddy:
HDMI-out is the killer feature I miss on the HD2 (I'm not even sure I would use it much, but I love convergence me :))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan138zig:
I love the slimness of HD2 so I'm not sure yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willgill:
Both my daughter and wife have the Evo. It is a fantastic phone. I find myself playing with it over my HD2 frequently. My HD2s biggest advantage is Outlook/Exchange. Android has some pretty good Exchange integration, but not as good as WinMo.

Turning on 4G kills the battery pretty quick. The battery cover is pretty cheesey compared to the HD2's. Android market beats Microsoft's marketplace handily.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusdus:
I've been playing around with the HTC Desire, which also has Adroid on it and I was amazed by it's responsiveness. In other words, it's fast!

As you can see in the review, browsing the internet on the HD2 (this is probably a opera mobile browser thing) is annoying, as you have to pan and zoom in/out all the time; the browser adjusts pages for you, but not always in a convenient way.

The Android market is huge, and mostly free. But that doesn't get me enthousiastic, as I have found all my application for WinMo here on XDA (you gotta love this site, big thanks for all the developers!).

Google Maps Turn by Turn navigation isn't available for WinMo (that's correct right?) yet. I'd really love to have that feature on my HD2.

I'd also like to have the one button press to get an overview of all the home-tabs as in Android on my HD2, but maybe this is already developed or being developed.

So, for me, in the end, I'll stay with my HD2 for a while (at least 10 months as my contract will then be renewed (yay for "free" phones :-)) Maybe by then Android will have left WinMo even further behind.

Seemless outlook syncing, tomtom and garmin keep me with windows mobile...

Never been tempted to android or iphone...

Its that simple for me...

My mate's trading in his hero for a desire... I'll grab it, play with it for a few minutes and give it back and say "yeah, nice...", then walk away thanking God I have my HD2...

Android and iphone interfaces may be smoother, but that's not the phone experience I'm worried about...

I'll stick with WM...
