Thanks, wasn't sure about the apps.

I guess with my combo of Titanium backup and My Backup Pro it shouldn't be that big of a job ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tri3Dent:
I found out why my phone was going slow and laggy scrolling. I took out the micro sd and the phone was fast like when I first got it.

So I backed up the files in the card and formatted. It didn't work at first but now it is ok. I thought the micro sd reader was faulty causing the phone being slow so I don't really know.
[Vibrant General] Cuda1337:
Or I don't know how to use it properly. I go into my contact list and hit the groups tab. I create a new group and hit save. It doesn't show up. I then try to create it again and it says it already exists, but still doesn't show up.

Even the default groups that show up (google and something else) I can't figure out how to add someone to that group. Does anyone know how to get this function to work properly?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I haven't got it to work either.
[Vibrant General] Cuda1337:

[Vibrant General] humblehyper:
To add member on the default group, all your contacts must be stored in the phone memory. If its not there, then you need to export your contacts first then import them back but make sure you import them to the phone memory. :)

But be aware that you will have multiple entries on your phone book especially when it was originally synced to gmail.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
It's a vexing issue and a bit complex to fix manually. But...there's an app for that..

search the Market for "Groupy"
[Vibrant General] rontopia:
I have to say that sucks. when an android with google doesnt grap your contacts the way you have them on your google account.. that just sucks.

this is the first time I have ever complained about this phone. or maybe its samsung that I should be complaining about. but one of the reasons I started using android was the easy way to manage contact information. that is just something that should not be messed with.

k.. done *****in
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
What I found after doing a factory reset was that *if* you manually made a few contacts on the phone and placed them in categories and *then* sync'd google contacts they would import correctly.

But still it's an annoyance easily fixed by "Groupy" in about a minute.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Absolutely! The Contacts app that Samsung installed in place of the regular Android Contacts app totally hoses the Google-based contacts. I am swamped by unwanted download of a "contact" item for anyone who ever mailed my GMail address, and Google contact groups are not supported. The stock Android Contacts app handled this gracefully, allowing configuration of which groups of Google contacts get downloaded and synced. But Samsung tried to de-Google Contacts, and screwed everything up.

Is there any hope of reinstalling or renabling the original Android Contacts app instead (hopefully without rooting the phone)? Perhaps a third-party solution?
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Try third-party app called Contacts Evolved

I have been exploring third-party contact apps in Market.

At first blush, the free app called Contacts Evolved seems to help here. It does segregate the contacts downloaded from Google according to the Google/GMail groups (including starred contacts) into handy tabs. The spurious contacts such as those who just happened to send you mail will still be there, but if you keep your real Google contacts organized into groups, the groups will be respected and displayed separately in the app.

I don't know of any way to disable or uninstall the brain-dead Samsung Contacts app, which I believe handles the syncing. But AFAIK, I never have to use it and can use Contacts Evolved instead.

EDIT: On the downside, Contacts Evolved seems a little buggy. There are force-close issues.

Where are the Nandroid backup files stored?

Is there a way to delete some of the older backups? I thought maybe it automatically kept X number of backups, but I'm up to 11 now.

I'm running ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.1.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jc_jair:
I am using HTC touch diamond, with Mainla fx dev version of 2.0.37395.3 and window mobile 6.1... I installed the CHT1.8.5 and the installation was failed. I tried to uninstall but nothing happen (only with white blank screen plus window logo turning). I then tried to reinstall 1 with 1.7.1 and it's failed too. So now i am unable to use CHT but it eat up around 2 to 3 MB in my limited memory storage.

Could anyone know how to uninstall it or make it workable? If cannot, how to remove the installed file so that i could get my 2MB back.

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
Hey guys, I am rooting a dream for someone I know. I was wondering what Rom I should flash for him as his first taste of the rooted life?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
perhaps just the cm4.2 ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
Install him Froyo, it's mostly nice and fast, but what is most important it really gives you pleasure to have software that owners of more expensive phones pray for everyday :).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I would not recommend flashing a release candidate for someone elses phone.

Unless you want to update the phone for your friend when the stable release is out. Keep in mind that you will need the DangerSPL and latest radio or else you will break your friends phone and that's just rude.

So I suggest CM5.0.8 (2.1) rom.

It still requires the Danger SPL but at least it's stable.

If you don't want to risk bricking the phone then 4.2.15.1 which is the final Donut (1.6) rom.

Be sure to have your friends permission before starting.

And know that you do not want or need swap on CM5 or CM6 roms.

And finally, stay away from Hero/SenseUI roms. Avoid them! I know that it's tempting because it looks neat and cool but they have their drawbacks. No bluetooth, require an ext partition, require swap enabled, some don't even have working video capture.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
As for me, I recommend 1.6 and only 1.6. Everything above 2.0 is nice, pretty, etc, but it really just doesn't run fast or smoothly enough to call it a 100% reliable ROM. The G1's hardware is simply limited to only run ROMs up to 1.6 efficiently and well.

(Hahahaha I have no idea how many times I have said this in the past 2 weeks)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
I completely, completely agree. If you want your friend to have a phone he can use and not have to call you to support every week, use a 1.6 ROM. If you want your friend to have a poor Android experience and want to run kicking and screaming to Apple, install 2.1/2,2 on their G1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceejay3k:
I searched the forum and the internet before this post. I am not able to restore a nandroid backup of fresh. Everytime I do I am thrown into a never ending boot loop. I've tried to install the radio, wimax, rom, and then nandroid restore over that..nothing..ive tried just to do the nandroid restore after a data, cache, and delvik cache wipe. I've tried most of the things that I thought would be logical and I cannot restore my nandroid backup. If I install the ROM things work fine but I cannot restore the nandroid backup. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
IMO this is a "Question" and "Questions" go in the "Question and Answer" section.... When you want to make a rom, or develop some software come post in this section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uclajw1:
What recovery are you using? If it is Clockwork, it doesn't wipe sufficently for Fresh's ROM and thus causes the boot loop problem. You have to wipe using Amon RA's recovery and then reflash Fresh. You could go back to Clockwork after wiping with Amon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaron:
Because there is a STAGGERING amount of information just in our little corner of this forum and a traditional forum layout is a sh*t way of handling this amiunt of data.

I wish it didn't happen too, but vie moved on to accepting and understanding it. About all we can do is not flip out on people or be rude when we tell them they are doing it wrong. Otherwise they will just ignore us.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceejay3k:
Well first to chazglenn3, spiicytuna, and alcaron, I'm sorry for not posting in the correct section. I didnt mean any harm. I forgot about is other sections of supersonic because this page was in my favorites.

Anyway, @uclajw1, I was using amon's recovery and nothing worked. What I ended up having to do was wipe the device (data, cache, delvik), install radio, wimax, restore nandroid backup, and then flash the Rom over all of that and I got into the OS. From there, I was getting FC's like crazy so I reinstalled all the apps forgetting about the feature in titanium backup that I could use to fix file permissions. But for now all is well. That's just a lot of work to do again do i hope I can figure something else out...

IF you have adw launcher there is a free theme in the market for droid x launcher and icons.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
Download the new ADW Launcher from the market, then search for ADW Themes. There's quite a few freebies (one being the DroidX) that let you theme your launcher from ADW Settings. No need to metamorph or flash in recovery. You don't even have to reboot to see the theme. It takes less than a minute to apply them.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] homewmt:
You can use custom icons in launcherpro, just find droidx icons (theres a droidx system dump floating around xda, you can find plenty of droidx images there, including motorola blur icons) and change the icons image.

Hi.

When using a rom with HTC Sense, the provider name on the top in the noticications window is only listed once. But when using a vanilla Froyo like OpenDesire or DeFroST the name is listed twice with one under the other. (Unfortunately I can't provide a screenshot since I'm new to the forums.)

Is there any way of changing this?

Hope you can hep me out

[Android Apps and Games] Turague:
Hi, i enjoy using both launcher pro home screen and the stock 5 page home screen on froyo.

Heres the issue, when i press the home button it gives me an option between going to launcher pro or to the regular home screen. I don't like to have to press a button again to get to the desired home screen. Would it be possible to set my home button to go to launcher pro if i tap it, and if i hold it it would go to the regular home screen? or can i reprogram one of the buttons, like the camera button to a home screen button?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dartmouth70:
Have you tried Home Switcher. It lets you launch or set as default any installed Home Screen apps (including native HTC Sense) and launchers. Pretty cool!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] smoakeater:
OK.. First. After running this on my Pure, I could kick myself for not getting an android phone to begin with!

Now, my questions and queries..

1. Is there any version 2.1, 2.2 ..etc that has sound (external speaker, screen taps, music etc) working?

2. I played with 2.1 startups and etc and got everything to work essentially but the external sound. After I tried the latest 2.2 and rc1, which would hang on calls (only time I got it to load completely), I went back to 2.1, which hangs on calls now. So, my question is, is there a recommended setup for 2.1 on a Pure TOPA210?

3. The release notes say for rc1 the sound issues are fixed. I try to run it, and it freezes on creating data.img. There is a post describing using the image from 2.1, but that makes "panic", and none of the fixes in that post seem to work. So question is, any recommendations on setup for 2.2 on Pure TOPA210?

Really awesome thing y'all are doing here, BTW.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
There are no noobish questions, only stupid answers :).

1. There is no build yet with the external sound working ( known and common problem on TP2 and TD2 ).

2. I would recommend to use the 2.2 Froyo build because the 2.1 is no longer under development, we are focusing now ( devs i mean :) ) to Froyo build mainly now.

3. From Froyo beta v2 till RC1 we had some problems running the build ( kernel panics ), but all was fixed with a new zImage ( 20/07 zImage i think ) anyway head over to the general thread here and go back 1-2 pages back and you will see which one fixes that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] smoakeater:
Thanks! The newer zimage and such got it going! I cam use the data connection, but still hangs on calls with the latest, so will try the image from 7-20 and see how that works.. Thanks for the help!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] nitronikon:

QUESTION TIME:

if we are using xdandroid on on our td2's does that make it by default rooted???

and do we have cyanogen mod or not???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:

Yes, XDAndroid is by default rooted.

Yeah we have CyanogenMod for our device, head over here for more details.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Trekfan422991:
cool thanks.. one more...

will any android rom work on our device or just specialy cooked ones for the td2 (pure)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
Some of the chefs modifies the kernel,... for their devices ( but they are very rare ). You can use the "roms" from devices listed in my signature under the XDAndroid logo. But i think in near future the Android "roms" for TD2 will start poping up.

[HD2 General] airwater9:
Think I did a good job of the query in the title there.

My mail yahoo mail account saves my sent emails in a "Sent" folder while the Winmo email client is saving them to my yahoo mail server in a "Sent Items" folder. So I have to look in 2 places to find my sent emails. I want them all to go into the "Sent Items" folder.

Is there a way to alter where the sent emails are saved to on the mail server?

Not crucial but would be nice to know and my search didn't throw up any results.
[EVO 4G General] EVOKeith:
I know that battery life has been a hot topic among EVO 4G users. I have seen both sides of the spectrum with some getting an entire day or more out of their phones, while some, like myself, see 5-7 hours at the most. I finally went to my local Sprint Store/Repair Center where I was told that my battery life was "normal" and that EVO users should "except to charge your phone two or three times a day". Then the rep handed me a spare battery at no charge to me and told me to have a nice day.

So, here's the deal. I am a non-rooted, non-anything user. Is the only way to see a 24 hour charge to root my phone and flash a custom ROM? He did mention that Froyo would "increase your battery life a lot". Whenever that's going to happen. Sorry to add another thread on battery life, but I want to make an informed decision, as well as know if this rep was just brushing me off with 5-7 hour being "normal" and then handing me an extra battery for free.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
So you got a free battery and all it cost you was having to talk to a fool? Sounds good to me. :)

I routinely charge every other night with my moderate usage. 5-7 hours would only make sense if I was streaming Pandora all day with 1 bar.
[EVO 4G General] jkompressor:
5-7 hrs? are you constantly downloading things? heavy usage? or just on stand-by most of the time? if your using your phone casually, like 3-4 calls ~ 15-20 min each call and have emails coming in at about 2-3/hr and you surf the web about 1hr/day on your phone... 5-7 hrs is not very good... usually you would need to make calls that are 30+ min with heavy browser usage and be in a really ****ty signal area while playing games and texting every 5minutes for you to get such ****ty battery life... there are a lot of forums out there with tips/tricks in improving battery life so don't expect people to start posting them here as there are THOUSANDS of posts on battery life on androidcentral.com and other such sites...

good luck... you should be able to get at least 12hrs on one charge with little to moderate usage -- again google and read for forums out there as there is a TON of information.
[EVO 4G General] hurrycaine3000:
I'm curious, are you in a 4G or 3G area? if you have 4G on where there is no 4G, your phone will constantly search for a 4G signal, same with wifi. I find that 3G is pretty fast where I live. 1.2MB down. so I never really turn on 4G or wifi. I've been getting about 14-20 hrs depending on use, but that was only the few times I made it through a day without plugging it in to add music, or try to root it (without success) and stuff. today I unplugged it at 9:40 am, and have been using it pretty heavy. about 15 minutes of streaming video, 45 minutes of music playback, 35 minutes of internet use, constant messaging, some pictures, google talk, fringe running, as well as qik in the background, actually all kind of apps pop up in the background. I am at 50% battery at 5:00 pm. I think that's not bad compared to the N1 I just sold. I will say that I think Advanced Task Killer, from the markets probably helps the battery life. I highly recommend it. make sure you set it up to auto kill apps in the background. I think I get a couple of extra hours this way.
[EVO 4G General] tadtam:
Found on Android Central Forum: (and it works, I get about 15-18 hours)

CHARGING EVO BATTERY FOR MAXIMUM LIFE:

You can charge your battery the following way to see if that helps improve the battery life on your device.

1.Connect the phone to the charger and charge the device until the LED turned green with the phone powered ON

2.Disconnect the phone, and power it OFF.

3.Reconnect the phone to the charger, and charge the device until the LED turns green again.

4.Disconnect the phone, power it ON and then power it OFF.

5.Reconnect the phone to the charger and charge until the LED turns green again.

6.Power ON and use.

My battery appears to have the same issue as well. My backlight is at 8%, auto sync is disabled for all services, always on mobile data is disabled, my network is set to CDMA, I'm not overclocked at all. I've done all the other battery saving tricks and I've done all the battery charging tricks.

I played Raging Thunder 2 for less than half an hour this afternoon, and my battery dropped down to 58%. I'm aware that games are pretty intensive, but isn't this a bit much?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Holy ****! :eek:
[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:
I'm not a "heavy user" and I turn off all sync and radios until I need them. In this state the phone will still recieve phone calls and text msgs. I turn on either wifi or mobile network access when I want to surf and enable bluetooth when I drive to connect to hand free in the car. I turn everything off when I'm done using each. I have all the power widgets right on my home screen so it only takes a second to turn on/off as needed. Using this way I have gone over 3 days before charging several times. I know this doesn't work for everyone, but I'd rather decide when I'm going to use my phone for what than to be at the beck and call of my phone. YMMV ;)
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Why don't you just use it normally and charge each night?
