I also have the problem connecting to exchange to sync my email on Froyo 2.2. This problem has caused me fall back to use 2.1. I am still looking for solution everywhere but seems like no one know the root cause why certain people can't sync their exchange after switch to Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laslow:
The problem lies in libssl.so in Froyo (and libnativehelper.so for a sudo-related issue) - Google has identified the issue and has released code to fix it, but will be waiting for a 'future release' to deal with it.

There's a bug report on the CM issue tracker that outlines it. I posted the links to the relevant code bits there, and it looks like the fix will be integrated in to CM6 (although the current RC build and latest nightly builds still have the issue). Details can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1780

Doe anyone know if its possible to search the GAL - When using exchange for addressing - it only seems to search the GAL for email addresses - I'd like to be able to do this for phone numbers - and other dept information. Any ideas how I can do this?

Hi guys!

Is there an app to take screenshot images and save them in the storage card directly as camera does. I don't want to root my device just for this purpose, at least not before the official froyo upgrade. Thx
[Desire Themes and Apps] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Try shootme, from the market.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dancedreamfly:
Shoot Me requires root. You can use the Android SDK.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
Android SDK is the only way if you dont have root AFAIK
[Desire Themes and Apps] iLHaNroID:
well.. where to find android sdk? it is not available on the market. Thanks for replies..
[Desire Themes and Apps] middlep1:
It's not a phone app, it's a desktop development environment for Android:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Available for Windows/Mac/Linux
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
this link tells you how to take screenshots using the SDK

http://blog.digitaltinder.net/2009/06/how-to-take-android-screenshots/
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
No app does this yet... Site Shot gets the closest with a functional, albeit limited, workaround. Some other apps like Gensoid allow them to take screenshots too.

So the method suggested above is what works.

Thanks mates..

Site shot seemed only for web browser pages, didnt try anything else with it though. Android sdk seems the only way to do that, so far. Actually i'd thought an app similar to wm app "shake n save" could be found for android too.

There is a game called farm towers. In that game it allows you to take screen shots. On my cdma htc desire I was able to take screen shots while playing the game. It force closed but it saved the screen shot

If so, how? Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks.

if your rooted i suggest fresh rom, its pretty close to stock look just optimized with a bunch of enhancements, im using his vanilla lock hack, figuring it took him a while to get the vanilla lock properly working im guessing its only with his rom. otherwise you can try his lock hack by itself and see what happens, but since you have to flash a rooted rom anyways why not just use his. my .02

[XPERIA X10 General] proatiku:
dude use Sprite Migrate follow the link you can transfer contacts, text messages and call logs all to android. and its free.
[XPERIA X10 General] azian_advanced:
What i did was i sync my WindowsMobile phone with Outlook, then downloaded and ran CompanionLink for Android which basically syncs your Outlook contacts, calendar, and notes with your Google account. So if your X10 is syncing with Google, all your contacts will copy over. It's a very neat program.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
I believe you have to pay for CompanionLink after the evaluation period.

Another way to do this is to copy your Outlook contacts to Gmail contacts. Google provides instructions on how to do that. For the calendar, Google provides software to sync the Outlook calendar with Google calendar.

As the previous poster stated, once you got your Xperia, you just set it up to sync with Google and that should do it. The only issue is that if you still use Outlook as your main program, there is no automatic sync of the contacts between Outlook and Gmail contacts. You may just have to pay CompanionLink for that.

Also, if you work for a company that has Microsoft Exchange servers, then the Xperia already comes with Moxier apps to sync with the info. from work.
[XPERIA X10 General] rogeriok:
Just backup your contact list from your windows htc,save it on his flash card,you will find a file .cts or .vct,something like that...than copy this file to your computer,than go to your google acount,find your contacts and click in import contacts,just find the backup file that u did before and upload...when u finish this,just plug your xperia to usb and google sysnc will transfer all your contacts...
[XPERIA X10 General] macr59:
I transferred my Contacts from my X2 win mobile to X10 by using Bluetooth.

Just go in and select all contacts and then beam them across.

My phone does that (rooted stock) if I unplug it while still in disc drive, so I always change it back to charging first and then unplug. I had a Moment before I got the Evo and you had to "unmount" the SD card before you unplug as well. If you watch the phone when you change from Disk Drive to Charge Only it will say in the taskbar "Preparing the SD Card."

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enigmafied:
Hello all, I am lookin for some help/advice for my incredible.

I had a long descriptive post typed, but the forum kicked me out apparently, so this will be shorter.

In short, I am in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with the inc. on verizon with the nationwide + canada.

The phone when initially turned on, or when put into and out of airplane mode, using real signal, shows a CDMA db or -82 to -103. The EVDO starts off at ~-84, shortly drops off to -118, where it stays. Is that as low as it goes or what?

The issues this causes is that my phone is always trying to connect to 3g, killing my data connection, battery, and even screws up the voice somehow, and I am left with 1x data. When the phone isn't trying to connect to 3g.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks Ghostrida, so my EVDO signal is through the floor bad.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix that, or why it starts off with signal, then promptly drops the 3G?

HTC told me there is no way to disable the 3G, and to talk with verizon. Verizon first of all told me there was no issue. My phone was working fine. Then they told me it was a network issue, and they have no control over it. Even though there coverage map shows 3g for my location.. and my phone sees 3g, tries to connect to it, and tries to send data. Just doesn't get anything back.

Third call they said they are going to open a trouble ticket, as i should be getting 3g.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AquaeAtrae:
Practically every phone I've ever owned included one of these external antenna jacks (FME-Female I believe), usually hiding beneath a little rubber cover. This dates back to my first, a Nokia 6190 built in 1998 which (of course) had no GPS back then. Since the GPS (at the bottom) and cellular antennas (on the top) are separate, I can't imagine this would improve GPS signals.

It's always given me a little assurance that even in the worst dead spots, I could technically snap on an inexpensive external antenna or signal booster to get a GSM connection.

For those wondering, I've confirmed the jack is, in fact, hiding under the rubber cover on the Vibrant version of the Galaxy S. :) Note: the rubber cover is kinda tough to pry out, but it pops back on easy enough.

Example: Cellphone Signal Booster Pack, $30
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] newsgroupmonkey:
I know people might wonder why bother, but for some of you who own Renault and Peugeot vehicles in Europe, they have heat reflecting windscreens which scuppers sat-nav use in many cases hence the reason why MMC and MMCX connectors came about.
