[EVO 4G General] Zion800:
I just wanted to take a moment and give back to the community that has always been there to help me out.

I drive a 2010 BMW 650i, which has bluetooth built into it. My Blackberry was able to transfer the contacts to the car so I could use the voice control of the car. When I got my Evo, for some reason the contacts wouldn't transfer to the car, or if they did, only 2 or 3 would transfer.

I finally deleted my Facebook account removed the sync account off my phone. Once I did that, my contacts synced to my car perfectly!

Just thought I'd post this on here to help out anyone who was having the same issue...
[EVO 4G General] EVO Monkey:
thanks! that worked like magic.

After deleting the Facebook account, every contact synchronized with my car. Whee!

Then I added the Facebook sync back to the phone and the contacts still sync.

Everything works as it should. Whee!

2009 BMW 335... HTC EVO with froyo. Yo!
[EVO 4G General] nextelfixer:
I have a 2010 535i gt and have a weird issue. Only contacts with no photo assigned to the contact will sync. If I delete the contact picture, then no problem. I don't have a facebook account on the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
I drive a 1973 Gremlin and I have tried coutless times to get my contacts to sync...any thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
It's all about ball bearings! You also need the updated Flux Capacitor ver 2.2 with the BT Stack. BT obviously meaning Broken TieRod.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Right on!!!
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I love the 650i looks so sexy in black. Have you tried looking on the BMW bluetooth section of their website?
[EVO 4G General] beestea:
It's not just android/BMW... have the same exact issue with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Infiniti. I validated by completing a full sync after removing all photos from contacts. I later tried to resynch the photos to my phone from an online backup (myphone) and it deleted all of the photos from my online backup!! Pain in the ass!
[EVO 4G General] digitalrurouni:
I have an M3 and it also does the same with my Evo. Connects and drops and connects and drops all the time with the car's bluetooth. Only 2 contacts transferred over. I will try the facebook delete option and see how that works out.

After update FRF91 from FRF85b exchange report "unable to open conection to server"

With EPE54B and FRF85B conection its ok.

Someone else with this problem?

Any solution?

The problem seems to be with SSL connection

If I remove the server to require SSL the connection without SSL is successful

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snlu178:

Im thinking of a mistake about the option Accept all certificates ...

Which program you used to see the loop of another post?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snlu178:
I have FRF91.

Not sure on Exchange type (2003 or 2007) but it connects with Activesync.

I used OS Monitor to track the Email client log.

SSL is handled by your exchange IT. I cant tell you more since I dont know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamanRM:
In exchange 2007 seems to be working if you make some changes in the way of accepting server certificates. In 2003 there is no such option.

Could you confirm the version of exchange?

So I installed this on my evo and it was just the stock fancy widget any reason why ?
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
Because not all Android phones have the Sense interface and therefore the Sense widgets.

i know that? i was an early adopter of the g1 and the evo so i am very familiar with how android and its skinned variances work. however i like the look of his inverted fancy widget and wanted to use that but when i install his apk it installs as the regular fancy widget and not the inverted

[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
There was something off about the iPhone to me back in 2007 when everyone first heard of the thing...prior to that I had a hard time adjusting to the apple experience, and being that I don't listen to music iPods and iTunes NEVER interested me. I do not like the way OS X is set up (seriously, finder bar? give me a menu in every window) but I did like the unification of the OS...anyways...the iPhone was cool, I liked it. It definitely was a game changer, no one will deny that. But this phone and it's sea of icons did not interest me...it was fun to look at, but just as with the finder bar, this sea of icons turned me off to the whole deal.

Anyways, I begin hearing whispers of an OS from Google...early screenshots leak (underwhelmed with the BB OS looking thing) then screenshots of the updated version begin to leak and what can I say...this thing was hideous...the icons, everything...just ugly...but I jumped in anyways...contract was up, I needed a new phone, and I liked everything else I read about it and I liked the desktop like feel of Android OS (that i inferred from images at least, as I hadn't touch the OS yet) anyways...October 20th, 2008...my phone arrives in the mail..I turn it on, I set it up...and I like it...not as polished as I would've hoped...but it was what it was.

Android still felt like a beta product (which carries to this day though to less an extent) but I managed despite my gripes with the phone...the market was immature, the OS was immature, MMS didn't work right, web was slow, browser was ugly, hell, the entire UI was what I would call ugly, but it was functional, and customizable as hell...at this point I didn't update but soon Jesusfreke released his rooted builds....and yea...the fun started then...I was no longer tied to T-mobile's release schedule...I had JFs 1.5, 1.6, tried hero, Eclair...then I heard of this Nexus One thingamajig...and I had to have it...So I had a plan.

I through sheer luck managed to acquire a seat at Google's Android Developers Lab in NYC for February 12th...at this point the Nexus had been out for a while, but me, knowing Google, KNEW I'd be getting a free phone...and I did.....a Motorola Droid...I must admit, I assumed the phone ugly...but damn was this thing sexy in hand...right heft, great display, speedy, HORRIBLE KEYBOARD, but Android 2.0 proved itself to be the OS Android should've been from the start...so I enjoyed my Droid for a week, rooted it, skinned it, etc...then put it back to stock sold it for 400 and used an additional 166.03 to buy the Nexus One...

and yea...Android after 1.5 years...is finally where it should be, and it can only go up. I still have my gripes with market Devs and their horrible understanding of UI and UX and even Icons....but for the most part, having been there since day 1 I am proud of where Android is heading...No where to go but up...

[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Sorry, couldn't resist =) I agree though, it's been what.. 2 years or so, and we have an OS that's ready to beat the crap out of the market leader, Apple.

Imagine what will it be in 2 more years. People won't even remember that Apple made phones.

[Nexus One General] caysman:
Damn,a lot of nostalgia posts like this lately.perhaps we're all itching for the nexus 2.
[Nexus One General] nxt:
I agree.

I got a T-Mobile G1 first day it came out, then a year later, got the MyTouch3G and had it for a month and returned it. Got pissed cuz the hardware was way underpowered. (Cupcake was the latest firmware back then).

I switched to the iPhone 3GS had it for 10 months. Jailbroken, hacked to hell, and you know what? It was great to use. Apps was a pleasure to use, games were awesome. I then got bored with it (as I do with EVERYTHING), and decided to try out the Nexus One with 2.1, hoping Android OS matured A LOT from Cupcake.

Well it did a bit, but still lacking in a lot of things. Currently on my Nexus One FRF91 firmware and yeah, having to deal with bugs and what not, it's painful. And the apps, gawd, it's horrible still :).

Anyways I'm sticking with it, cuz I'm too broke to buy a new phone and pray each day Google improves Android little by little. :)

I started with windows way back when I was parting out my Civic SI and traded some dc racing headers for the Cingular 8125. I was like "wow this is so much cooler than my razr!" ..especially when I discovered tethering. But a 13,000 dollar cell bill later and I learned my lesson with that. Anyway.. I got fed up with WM while using the Kaiser and started researching Android. I purchased the N1 a week after it came out and haven't looked back. Gave my gf the ATT Tilt 2. She hates my Nexus One since her fingernails wont work with the touch screen, lmao.
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
UP UP UP!

True that bro!

My love started back when I bought my G1 in Ocrober 2008.

I've known then, what I know now - just with more certainty.

I know that Google and Android™ are fukken phenomenal. Apple and Microsoft are shiet. And all my future phones, and the phones of my family, will be Android™ based (as will be our microwaves, refigerators, televisions, ebooks, etc :) )

They'll be like, "dewd, we're talking about phones here, m'kay? not produce!" LMAO

I got bored with all my phones.

I've been hacking/modding my phones since I had my first HTC smartphone (Audiovox SMT5600).

The G1 & N1, are the only phones that I am NOT bored with.

There's always something NEW to tinker with: a ROM, kernel, build.prop, theme, some new amazing app that, etc.

$13,000?

WTF?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FezzFest:
I don't want to install Android on SD/NAND, I just want to boot it once to experiment a bit. It worked great on my Prophet (booting) but I don't really know how I have to do it on Kaiser.

Everytime I boot it says "Hold down DPad Center to launch installer" but I don't want to install it. I just want to run it. If I don't press the DPad Center it crashes with "Failed to reach system.img on SD Card" because I have "androidinstall.tar".

Can someone explain this to me?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
This system is outdated now, we don't use system.img's anymore, the builds have got way to universal and technical for that. If you want to test android out just install it selecting the options for data and system on sd card. It will be slow but it will run off of 2 files called system.img and data.img to my knowledge. This is the only way if you don't want to create ext2 partitions for system and data on your SD Card. Read through the FAQ's and how to guides which are stickied at the top of the forum, they will guide you through.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FezzFest:
Thans. Problem is I never get the "Sys on SDcard" and "Data on SDcard" options. It just asks to install, then says "Warning! Current system will be overwritten".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The 'current system will be overwritten' message refers to any install you may have on SD, when running from Haret you will not have the sys on SD option, since this option only applies if you are running the installer on a Nand-enabled system.

With haret install the installer already knows you will be installing to SD and gives only the Install option, since there are no MTD Partitions available to it.

All that will happen is that the installer will use the androidinstall.tar to install to SD, which you will then be able to run from that SD using Haret.exe.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pfernd:
Hey, I am having the same problem... when I try and boot using haret on my 1 gig fat32 sd card (polymod 2.1) I get ....

Hold down volume up or Dpad center to launch installer

I have tried it both holding down the center dpad, (on the bottom of the phone) and not hitting anything. Either way it immediately skips past that part and gives me:

sh:2 unknown operand

losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file or directory

Failed

Failed to reach system.img on SD Card

Am I doing something wrong... or what you seem to be saying is there are more modern instructions available now... the ones i'm following are on the htconandroid wiki (can't link as I'm a new poster).

I'm using the ATT Kaiser .... and would really really appreciate any insight... links to better guides... help etc...

so from the android installer, first time i go 1. install system.

this then says "this will wipe your existing system, are you sure?"

if i select yes, it will install to SD card folder and not overwrite windows?

i havent dared press it as i dont want to ruin my phone....

will it just install to sd card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
If you are running from Haret, the it cannot wipe WM, when it says it will wipe the system, that means any Android build you already have installed to the SD card.

To make this clearer if I can.

Nand install: This method requires you to flash a small NBH file to the phone, this

Will

wipe WM, after this nbh is flashed, every time you boot the phone it will boot linux in order to either install or run Android directly from the phone. You have a few different options using nand, system and data on nand, ( most common method), or system on SD, data on Nand, ( never seen wnyone use this ), System on nand, data on SD, ( this is another comon way of installing, gives more space for user data, and system on SD, data on SD, ( never seen this used either ). All of the above versions require you to flash the kernel and support files to nand.

Haret install: by far the best method for new users, this does not wipe WM, and uses the SD card for system and data, you simply put the required files on SD, run Haret.exe from WM, and it then unloads WM from memory, ( but not from Nand, if you reboot it will go back to WM), it will then load the kernel, and then either the installer, ( you still have to press+hold dpad centre, volume up, or centre of the screen [yes really, my preferred method in fact, can't accidentally press the wrong key that way]). The installer can only install to SD when using Haret, and what it does is to make a system and data image for haret to use after installation, these files are what the installer refers to when it tells you it will wipe the system, not WM, just the system and data image files on SD.

Hope that clears up a few things :)

[HTC Tornado] josefcrist:
how do you take it apart? how do you get the area with the camera off with out breaking it?
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
You need to disassemble the device so that the back-cover is separate. This is step 1 in the dis-assemble process, no need to go further. Then you can remove the camera unit from the back-panel.

Why do you want to do this?

You can look up any of the Typhoon, Hurricane or Tornado service manuals floating the net to learn how to do it.

And is there anybody out there that is not running any rom that has got the update successfully and not lose anything preferable with unrevoked 2?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
This has been posted before but here's a quick rundown.

1. First, you need a root method that allows you to modify the /system directory. I prefer Toast's but I think Unrevoked2 allows this as well.

2. Download the android sdk. Open a command prompt, cd into the directory you extracted it in and type in the following:

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/etc/security
mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.old

Reboot and tada. You'll never see a popup again.

[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
To be honest, I've never really trusted Sony Ericsson's promises. We've already paid for the phone, so our money's in their pockets.

They can now try to manufacture a new model with newer Android OS to earn from rich suckers who likes to buy phones every few months.

We'd be lucky if we even get 2.2 at all, after this 2.1 update.

After all, they only promised an update after 1.6.

No multiple updates mentioned.

So just be satisfied with what you have now. Otherwise, just go get a Nexus One to satisfy your needs =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Carrr:
The stock youtube player on the Galaxy S has a menu option for "high quality" when playing videos, while the so called "Youtube HD" player from the Evo rom has a "HQ" button in the lower right corner. These players seem to do exactly the same thing.

While HQ looks better than regular quality, it still doesn't really shine on our beautiful 480*800 displays.

I hooked up a debugger and launched a few videos available in up to 1080p on youtube. The URL requested by the apps in HQ mode is a 480*270 video!

Does anyone know a hack/app/way to stream full 480p glory (or above) from youtube to our phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Carrr:
Nobody?

I tried tubedroid to get an impression of how videos *should* look. Precaching sucks though, and I still can't find a youtube app to actually stream proper quality :(

Attached are device screenshots of

- Youtube app in "normal" quality

- Youtube app in "high" quality

- Video player playing tubedroid-downloaded clip (HD)

How about the new mobile youtube site? Looks good to me, but only tried a few secs
