1.just import the contacts to SD card. just mail it to ur mail id.

2. use ur gmail id to sync both contacts & calender.(Menu -> setting->accountand sync -> select ur id -> mark a check before the calender and contacts):)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supadupahands:
export your outlook contacts to a csv file

import this file to google contacts

take the opportunity to do a bit of data cleansing

sync your google contacts with your phone, it IS the shizzle
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i do it via Gmail account
[Galaxy S I9000 General] speedweed:
Pictures wont be saved to a csv file right? Im looking for a way to transfer my contacts from my phone(on phones memory), to gmail with contact pictures. Is there any way to do this with out readding all the pics manualy? Ive tried to set gmail to sync contacts, but it wont sync from phone to gmail.

I could of course, export a csv to gmail from the phone, but afaik it wont save the pictures aswell :(

Dont want to readd pictures each time i get a new android phone. With iphone this was easy, cause contacts with pics synced with outlook, no problem at all. With Kies it didnt, i had to read each pic manualy on the phone. (Now i cant even get Kies to work)

i have use a simular program named smart alarm clock. im not sure about the name but it got a coffe cup aslong and it monitors the movement and noice in sleep and can also try to get away of snoreing.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Smart Alarm Clock; and it's all but smart. It barely works on anything except 1.5/1.6, uses the built-in Android alarm clock (which is well known to not be all that reliable) and not all that good.

I too have been looking for a good sleep motion tool just to see how I'm sleeping. The alarm clock part of it Gentle Alarm takes care of well for me. Similar idea, except it simply plays a very quiet alarm up to 30m before your real alarm. If you're in a light sleep it will wake you up, otherwise you'll sleep until you're in a lighter part of your sleep cycle. Same idea, without the complication of putting it under the covers.
[Android Apps and Games] Exanimus:
Well the alarm-part is not so important for me, it's the movement during sleep i want to record and find out since i wake up in the most strange positions most mornings :P and sleepsense seems to record that quite well.
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
+1 for an android motion-detector alarm clock....

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Be aware that the screen must stay on for the sensors to stay on, and it's reported to make your phone very hot. Not sure if these folks had put the phone in their pillow or under a sheet or what, but just be aware of the limitations.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
As we all know, most phones battery like are far less than manufacturers say they are.

I checked several sites but nothing mentions battery in the real world, talk time or standby.

I really want to get a Dell Streak after the weekend but would like to know from Dell Streak users how the battery really is...

at the moment I have the HTC HD2 & the HTC Desire... Both give me 2-4 days of battery. With heavy use 2 days, and with little use 3-4 days.

How is the battery on the dell streak? Should it be at least 2 days, then that's good enough!!
[Streak 5 General] gellofish:
I get no more than 1 day out of my streak. I use it for data only (no voice calls). I use mainly wifi (switch off data connection when on wifi) and rarely have GPS on. I don't mind this as it is a small price to pay for the benefits ... mainly a gorgeous massive screen:). I'm sure its possible to stretch it's use to more than 1 day, but on average I'd say it needs a daily charge
[Streak 5 General] jvc.silence:
hi m8!

i own a streak and all i can say is:the battery is really good.depends how much you use it...i even played on it 5-6 hours(heavy games and browser,installing,downloading etc)

but normal day usage(like dialling,messages) you get more than 15 hrs off usage.

i charged my streak over night to 100%...in the morning i went to work and i left it home on stand by for 10 hrs and when i come back home the battery was still 100%(no battery drainage in standby mode)

outdoor brightness is the best...beats even latest iphone!(i think this is important)

the final conclusion is:battery is good!:D

(im saying this because i own a hd2 and the baterry is crap)

cheers.

jvc.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I get about a day and a half out of mine sometimes 2 days depends on how its used i was ill for three days and it was at 80% 3 days later i had only looked at it twice and the battery was at 69% after 3 days so not bad in my book, a lot better than any HTC phone i have had :)
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
Cheers for that jvc, nice to know the battery is good when not used a lot.

I will only use the dell streak for light voice calls and the odd text message.

My HD2 battery is nothing special, 2-3 days if I'm lucky and that#s with very little use...
[Streak 5 General] Stephen Flanagan:
I'm a heavy user of my streak, surfing, reading, videos, txting, installing/uninstalling apps etc even streaming audio via 3g. In that scenario, about 6-8 hours.

I installed juice defender, which basically turns off data connections when the screen is locked, this bumps heavy usage to 9+ hours.

On regular day (reading RSS feeds, e-mail & txt, this forum etc) with juice defender on and periods of inactivity it last 17 hours no bother.

Approx full charge time is a out 3 hours.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
For those of you who want to improve battery life, go to market place on your phone, type in Advanced Task Killer.

You will see several different ones, look for the one that is like a small green man with a BLUE x in the middle.

I actually have that program on my HTC Desire & it REALLY makes a huge difference, i'd say a 30-40% improvement.

What the program actually goes is close any running apps that take power, ram, resources, etc...

Basically, everytime you lock your phone, the program automatically ends all running programs in the backround which then drastically improves battery life.

Let me know if any of you have a similar program or your opinions about this one.

Here is how it looks:
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
task killers have a adverse affect on the streak.

i use setcpu and get about 28hrs from a single charge. device usage med/high
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
I would not recommend using task killers on the streak (and, tbh, they're pretty pointless on all android phones) as it tends to kill the simtoolkit which causes data loss and no signal until you reboot. I think there's something else as well, because if you add the toolkit to exceptions it still kills the signal after a while.

Back on topic: mid/heavy usage i can get almost 2 days out of it. That's pretty good in my opinion :D
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
Hmmm, strange how everyone does not recommend the task killers...

I too agree many of them are utter rubbish and cause complications.

I have tried around 4-5 different ones on my htc desire.

All were crap apart from the one I listed above. It never gave me any trouble nor interference with anything at all, only increased battery life & increased ram as it forces other programs to close.

Supposing you were fiddling about with your phone for a bit, say some music, pictures, internet, etc...

You then lock your phone, all the programs you just played with are now draining your battery and you can see the list of running apps in task manager...

The above program will simply close all the programs you were running when you lock the screen.

It does not interfere with anything at all and really improves battery.

There is no harm to try it, for me I think it's a must have program...
[Streak 5 General] dead101:
dell have recently publish artical about task killer .i have posted before they are not good at all as anderiod is task killer itself when device struggle for RAM it will close the idle process. To prove it try this trick

Open ur kill manager and kill all the app and check same time ur network will go off for flash of sec . it wont happen everytime but most of time in my case & another thing is with task killer contacts gets messy as it kill process.contact so might wanna keep eye on it as well

sorry about spell mistake as typing from netbook .....they are shyt lol

cheers
[Streak 5 General] Dogmann:
@kanej2006

You do realise that until you have no free RAM having more free Ram makes absolutely no difference to your devices performance it's just sitting there doing nothing and being wasted. If you want to see what is happening to your Ram on running and inactive programs check out System Panel Lite which is free in the market and will show you in great detail.

Most of the time i will have 12-15 Active programs and 20-25 Inactive programs and still have about 100mb of free Ram so really fail to see the need to keep shutting things down. Which would mean when i do want them its going to take them longer and use more power to load again as opposed to just becoming active from being inactive.

I've had my Streak for nearly two months now and have never used a Task killer usually my battery after 16 hrs has any where from 28%-48% left depending on how heavily i have used it. I have Push E-Mail running 16hrs a day on two accounts everything but GPS and Bluetooth are on all the time as i turn these two things on only when needed and turn WiFi off when none is available and also always have 3G on also.

I have found the battery life to be excellent on the Streak especially considering just how big and bright the screen is i am actually really surprised at how good the screen is in sunlight as it's easily the best performance I've seen on any device.

[Streak 5 General] dead101:

well pleased with this free app
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I've been using App Killer Advanced for the last few days, and although not recommended by several others here, I've used to software before without any problems...

I also have an average of 290mb of free ram which really increases my battery life.

Crikey most days I struggle to get a day. I find any widget sucks juice, I had 4 going the other day and didn't make it to lunch time.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Great to see a new Froyo ROM on the scene! Look forward to seeing it grow into one of the best...

For now, my early impressions are that it suffers from the same problems as other Froyo ROMs have / do.

To name two (and aside from the obvious):

* LED notifications

* Google Mail App displays at incorrect resolution for Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
It might be a funny question but... All other Froyo releases I tried have been getting really laggy after installing all the applications I like and then 3-4 hours of usage. I use a task manager to kill applications so that a lot of memory is always free.

Would I have the same problem with this ROM? I am sure you have been using it for a couple of days at least before going public.

I would test it out by myself but formatting my SD card is going to take a lot of time for backing up, etc.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Feeyo:
I have not yet run this build for a few days at it just came out of the oven...

But I did run some of the older builds of mine a few days and for me it stayed at the same performance. Although I do not have a lot of apps installed..

After installing apps you will need to give it a reboot to optimize the freshly installed packages.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
Thank you for the speedy response and support. Appreciated.

I have a few questions in addition to the ones I've already asked.

1) When you long press a textbox and select "Input Method" option, the keyboard appears twice. Is it normal?

2) The news and weather application cannot find "Sofia" or "Sofia, Bulgaria" as a location. Do you think that might be a bug in the ROM or in the application itself?

I would not recommend sms backup and restore cuz it made it so that sms vibrate does not work, even restoring a nandroid doesnt help. The only way to get it to work again was to wipe and reflash a new rom. This has happened to me while flashing both villainrom 12 and kimera 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
I don't think a program can do that, and it certainly couldn't survive a nandroid if it did. Are you sure you just didn't have some setting set incorrectly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
Yea im pretty sure. The last time i nandroid backup and then installed and restored my messages thru "sms backup and restore", right away my sms vibrate doesnt work anymore. Yea what i cant figure out is why a nandroid backup doesnt fix it but a new flash does. Im on my second kimera2.1 flash and didnt restore my messages this time and sms vibrate works flawlessly

If you have adb installed, you can do it easily...

Code: adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db ./backup/mmssms.db

If you want to restore you can do

Code: adb remount

adb push ./backup/sms/mmssms.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/

Adb reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
Hi guys,

I want to explain how to change the homescreen of our Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with Android TouchWiz 3.0, so that we can choose our default page every time we press the HOME button.

In LauncherPro this is very simple, just go into Settings and set the correct parameter, whereas using the TouchWiz seems that there is no way to do that, then that will help here and I will explain what to do! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

First of all:

- The default homescreen is the first, the page number 1;

- In Android TouchWiz the count start from 0, so the first page is 0, the secon is 1 ecc...

What we need:

- Fist of all you need to root your Samsung Galaxy S with STAND ALONE ROOT PROCEDURE by Leshack, all credits to him;

- Download from Android Market Estrongs File Explorer, all credits and thanks go to the autors of this powerfull application that has also the root option, or whatever file manager you want, the important is that you can take root access to the /system folder (you can also buy and download Root Explorer)!

- Start the File Manager, take the root access on /system, make a backup copy of default.prop, then edit it;

- suppose that we've 5 screens and i want to set the third screen as homescreen, we must modify the file in this way:

- like you see, i've deleted the # from the front of the two lasts strings and set the screen writing 2 (i rember that we start from 0);

- Save the file and restart the phone;

- well done, we have set the homescreen!

Thanks you it works! But i just insert below string in the default.proc

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dexter666:
becouse old f/ws have default on 4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] socket84:
Are u sure that the file is in /system and not in / ??

There are 2 default.prop, one in /system another one in the /

Thee second one is different from the first one, and if you mod the one that is in / you have to add the strings couse there aren't.

In the /system/default.prop there are the two strings to modify!

This is the contents of the default.prop in /system:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Old firmwares have default on 4? I'm pretty sure that was never the case on my phone!

Grate work now I've got 3 on each side. :D

So ive used several home screens or w/e you call them and I like a few things from each of them.

Panda Home

-The two sidebars

Default Home

-Pull up drawer instead of the press drawer on ADW Launcher

ADW Laucher

-Pretty much everything

So im wondering if theres anyway I could have all these elements in one laucher. Probably easiest to somehow get sidebars on ADW laucher and the pull up drawer is not a must but good to have.

Is there such a launcher or can anyone make one or are there apps that can do this?
