I know I am probably looking for something impossible, but I added my Contacts to my sim card and did a gmail sync.. Now I have double contacts. Some on outlook, some on sim..

It will take me forever to edit these on my phone, is there a app that I can do it through my computer?

Thanks
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Are all your contacts sync'd through Gmail? If you go into your contacts through Gmail it has a feature to look for duplicates. Also if you have omarket I remember seeing a few programs that will search for duplicates.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Just turn off show sim contacts ...
[HD2 General] soccerman77:
How can you do this?

Thanks
[HD2 General] watcher64:
With "all people" open , goto menu > View > Contacts ..
[HD2 General] soccerman77:
Someone told me about this app and said it should be on my HD2.. I can't find it. Does it come on the HTC HD2? If not, how can I get in? Marketplace?

Thanks
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Check your Tools folder on the start menu, if it is not there, yes you can grab it from the Microsoft marketplace , it does work pretty good for backing up email, texts, and such ...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
JIT = Just in time compiler.

Basically what it does is compile the application byte code into native code to provide much faster execution time. But, it goes much deeper than this so if you are interested you should check out a google search or two.

Why it usually says to be careful? That is because most developers are integrating JIT into 2.1 OS, which is experimental but pretty stable. JIT will be officially included with Android OS 2.2 (Froyo)

Hi,

I'm having issue with my call quality. I'm on CM 4.2.15.1. I don't know if this is good or not, I haven't touched the Rom since february when Rogers wanted us to do a mandatory update for a 911 fix.

I read this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=522213&page=2

I pulled the audioXYZ.csv files from the phone, but where can I find the replacement files?

And how do I extract those files from the image?

I want to push the new files to the phone.

Thanks

Called my local Att store about my new iPhone 4 and all the dropped and failed calls I'm having. Asked them about the Captivate and the sales lady told me that I could come check it out right now. She went on to say that a Samsung rep came into her store, showing it off and she was so impressed that it's taken her attention away from the iPhone. She says "wow that display is very pretty." Guess I'm going to check it out tomorrow evening with my iPhone and Evo in hand.

in theory it could be done though i am not sure why i would need my phone to do this as any time i am at a computer so is my phone, and i have apps that will allow me to track the phone down via GPS. but on the other hand i guess this would allow for people to use the phone as a security camera of sorts

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
Sorry I am new to android phone.. Cos I am using iphone last time.. I would like to ask whats the meaning of debranding and root? Is anyone kind enough to explain it to me what it do and stuff.. Thanks a lot... Anyway x10 mini is a cool phone..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
Hello and welcome to the forum....

Root is where you get access to all file system on the phone and you can use apps that needs that like setcpu there you can control the cpu

Debranding is when you buy a phone from o2 there is apps from the provider on the phone and with debranding you will get a genetic firmware on the phone from sony ericsson without all the provider software
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
Oh so root is just to get to the core of the phone? Or is it something like iphone jailbreak?

For debranding why would people dont want the provider software? It cant be deleted?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
yes root is like iphone jailbreak.....

People debrand there phones, becuase many provider software is slow and the software update from provider takes long time....

the provider software can't be deleted
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
How do you know which is the provider software?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
here in denmark we have hi3g as a provider and on a mini from them there is a planet3 app and mobiletv and then we turn on the phone it shows a boot screen with 3 and thats is branding
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
Oh so if there isn't anything that shows at the start then its not been branded?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
what provider do you have???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
I am from singapore but there is no advertisement on the start up so do I still need to debrand?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
no i don't thing so when there is no apps or something from you provider i think you i unbranded
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hyhyhhy:
But I have some navigation apps and some provider service apps.. That I dont want.. So I still debrand it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
when you dont need it or use it you can debrand it

Rooting

Sorry to open this topic up again, but I want to root and debrand my phone.

Is there a specific order I should do it in? Or will rooting allow me to debrand?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nico444164:
I think Custom ROMs are already debranded, but I'm not sure. For Rooting, use a program called SuperOneClick, google it and you'll easily find it.

Windows Phone 7 Dev tools Beta released

Here's the updated emulator build. It seems very similar (and the build number is only a bit higher) than the one leaked last week. As with that build, there's no options to add data sources to sync/connect with. Ugh! I'll keep working at it as it's bound to be there somewhere but we'll see.

Unlike previous builds, it seems that you need to pass a VMID to the XDE executable. As follows...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Users\YOU\Desktop\WM70C1-6414-unlocked.bin" /VMID {E575DA31-FC47-4766-853F-018D823B9EE6}

Or you can place the file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images" with the name "WM70C1.bin" and debug with visual studio and it will launch. I've only tried a super basic app but this appears to be the first one that actually works fully with debugging! This should help the devs that want to be able to test with the various task launchers with some actual data.

So here's the download!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Windows Phone 7 Dev tools Beta released

Download Here

I'll have to wait til I get home from work to download/look into it. Let us know what you find! I wonder if this is the same emulator build that found it's way out last week?
[Windows Phone 7 General] manueleb.:
I'm installing that.

Little Tips: If you installed the April CTP, installing the beta from the April CTP's uninstaller (Open uninstaller -> click Repair/Reinstall -> when the uninstaller ask the CD, click the option for re-downloading the file from Internet). In that mode, you don't uninstall Visual Basic 2010, Visual Studio 2010 or XNA Studio. Enjoy!

(Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian :D)

Thanks for the image!

But I've got a problem with the emulator. It's choppy like hell, it always was for me. I've got a Core 2 Duo 2,14 GHz so I don't think that should be a problem, but I see it is using just one core. Is there a trick to enable emulator using the 2nd core or get it somehow hardware accelerated?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Da_G:
XDE isn't coded with heavy multithreading, so getting it to use more than 1 core efficiently would have to come with a future build of it. It does use HW Acceleration for display, however.
[Windows Phone 7 General] irdawood:
Wow, the new emulator is faaaaaaset!!! I mean the phone is silky smooth!
[Windows Phone 7 General] fr_krg:
Yeah, it uses virtualization technology, however my processor doesn't support it. I was thinking about accelerating it via GPU. Thx anyway
[Windows Phone 7 General] shaundalglish:
Just a quick question: Have they added landscape support, or does it still not work in landscape mode?

Hi RustyGrom,

Great work, thanks a bunch for this!

I'm a big fan of Unlocked emulators myself and I'll be sure to update my blog post on Unlocked emulators to reflect this new ROM.

As a side question, What tools did you use to create this unlocked image?

I'm looking into creating a dump of image into real files and moduels but I can't seem to find any tool that does that...

Thanks,

[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Not sure what the deal with this is but...

So is it something they're trying to show off closer to launch? Is it something they tried but didn't like? They obviously have it working. They clearly have the capability and do utilize it in other places.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
huh? The emulator isn't even supposed to have the features you "unlocked", why would it ever work with Landscape mode then?

I'm sure it'll work as intended (with proper landscape support) at the real launch. Won't be long before the first developers get hands on, and TechLabs in major cities. Hell, even NerdDinner in Seattle had one of the devices for preview.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shaundalglish:
That would make me very happy... but most likely only phones with keyboards will support landscape, and only if you pull out the keyboard :(

I absolutely need that feature...
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I got to use the LG prototype about a month ago and when I pulled out the keyboard the home screen, among other stuff, did not rotate to landscape. It's definitely not just the emulator. Will this change before launch? Quite possibly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] daniel-t:
It could look good done horizontally!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Livven:
Could anybody provide the files for this to be run as standalone? Only the XDE app (which has been updated from previous versions) would be needed, so people who don't want to install the whole IDE can try this easily. Thanks :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-hq:
I noticed two odd things in the WP7 Walkthrough video posted on youtube

[YOUTUBE]GpoJW_ziGNs[/YOUTUBE]

Longzhen claims he is using the ROM posted here.

If you watch closely you will notice:

- He has a different boot screen

- When he chooses the radio station and goes back to the home screen he pulls down some kind of quick access menu for the playing radio.

I tried this several times now and can't access that menu.

Does any of you have an explanation?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
- The boot screen is the same. Are you sure you're using the one from this thread?

- I haven't tried it but it was new to me. Should be easy enough to confirm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-hq:
Yes I am definitely using the rom, even downloaded it a second time just to be sure.

I am seeing this at boot:
[Windows Phone 7 General] daniel-t:
If you have a radio station playing and you Press the F9 and F10 buttons I think it is, you get that display and can control the volume of the emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Yup and after that is there that blue Windows Phone logo with dots :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
And I forgot to mention - to use your keyboard at PC rather than the touchscreen input on the emulator, press key PAUSE/BREAK on your keyboard and it switches to keyboard :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] the-hq:
Thanks guys, I didn't know the shortcuts! :o

That's why XDA is so great ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
F1 = Back

F2 = Windows

F3 = Search

F7 = Camera

F9 = Vol +

F10 = Vol -

F11 = Bluetooth headset button. This plays/pauses music as well.

Pause|Break = Toggle keyboard

Apparently "From your headset you can only make calling requests like 'Call Mom'"

And all of these require the focus to be on the screen, not the buttons. You'll see a thin blue line around the screen when it's in focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Here's the complete file dump (so you don't have to go through the steps below). I haven't really looked through it yet so there very well may be some new info hidden in there. I've attached the two modded files needed to unlock the emulator.

Could you? I'm just curious on your method as there might be better/easier ways than what I'm doing.

I'm actually doing two. One dumps all the files, uncompressed.

run: viewbin.exe WM70C1.bin

write down start and length

run: cvrtbin -r -a START -w 32 -l LENGTH WM70C1.bin

this command converts the nk.bin to a nk.nb0 (START and LENGTH from the command before)

run: mkdir dump

run: dumprom.exe -d dump -v -5 WM70C1.nb0

the contents of the bin will be written in the directory "dump".

I do that just so I can have all the files in an uncompressed format that allows me to search, etc. I can't rebuild the modded files from this, however. I believe viewbin and cvrtbin are in the Windows CE SDK. dumprom is from XDA.

The process to mod and rebuild...

1. Hit "dump .bin". It will create an "OUT" folder with "FILES" and "MODULES" subfolder. You can modify files, or remove them.

2. Modify files. The rgu files are just text and the reg file can be opened with mRegEdit. The files in the OUT folder will be compressed. You can either work from the ones in the above method or use the Decompress button in XIPPORT on the Misc tab to decompress the files it dumped.

3. Recompress the modded files with xipportand edit their associated .dsm.imageinfo.txt You will need to adjust the file size for both pre-compressed and compressed. These are hex values. I do this by grabbing the decimal file size and using the programmer option in the windows 7 calculator. Kinda painstaking but I'm not sure of a better way.

4. When you're done, hit "write .nb0" it will create a .nb0 file from OUT folder.

5. Use B000FF to convert nb0->bin

6. Use B000FF to apply "Fix 12" (pick the original, unmodded BIN first and then the BIN you just created)

Dan Ardelean's blog post shows what needs to be modded to get it to the state it's in. There's really no way to debug that I know of so it's pretty much just trial and error.

Add an account

Can someone put in the latest Beta ROM "Add an account" from previous version?

Is it possible?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I've tried but have not succeeded. It's a top priority.

However, I believe that something weird happens with the phone's data connection when you mod the ROM. On the app I'm developing, I get a "NotFound" error when trying to connect to a website in the app if I use the modded emulator but if I use the stock one it works fine. This may have been what was causing the data services to not work previously even though you could try to add them.
