[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flarbear:
Your home screen is WVGA resolution "per screenful". Given that you have 5 screens side by side, it actually needs a wallpaper that is wider than a single screen. Google it and you will find a lot of wallpapers for the N1 that are 960x800 so it looks like you need a wallpaper that is sized to be twice as wide as the portrait WVGA size...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
I think I had a similar issue, and I couldn't find any mention of it.

It might be you are having the same problem.

That box you see when selecting a wallpaper is resizable. :eek: I had no idea at first, I only moved it around. It should be documented somewhere, but it isn't.

Press and drag near one of the borders of the box. Then you can expand it to the whole image.

If you already know of this, then just ignore me. But I was shocked to find out :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
lol, I could see how that would make a difference :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Yes this is my issue, but.... the picture cropper will only go the entire width of the photo but not the entire height. Hence, 1/3 of the picture.I do understand it's resizeable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
That's to maintain the proper aspect ratio (800 high by 960 wide, I believe) to allow the background to scroll.

You might be able to find a third-party gallery app that would allow you to set a "portrait" sized wallpaper, but I don't believe that is a feature of the current Gallery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Alright, well I do have some pictures that are 1200x1600 somewhere on my SD card. Just no where near as much as my other grahics. I have roughly 2,400 pictures total and about 2,350 of them are in WVGA res.... So this is a MAJOR inconvience.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Ok, I see. Then like mentioned before, your images are not the correct size. Since the Android scrolls the wallapper as you slide from screen to screen it needs to be much wider.

The Nexus is 480x800. But the wallpaper needs to be 960x800.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
Yes, but you see.... I'm using LauncherPro, and it gives me the option to stop the wallpapers from moving sideways when scrolling screens. Therefore, I only need them in WVGA resolution. It's not like the picture is going to be strectched because it will always stay in place. If only this option was able to be turned off.....:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wardyboyo:
I need some help, im looking for a program that will back up everything on my HTC Diamond.. i mean Apps, Music, Messages, Contacts and anything else!

I dont care too much about the music, but the apps and messages are my biggest concern, ive googled it but cant for the life of me find a free solution, i went to download sprite from the website, entered my serial number and it said its not for my phone or something.

Can anyone shed somelight on this subject... PLEASE!?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dioadi:

Use the Backup tool, and choose backup all system.

So I had to replace my Aria today, and now the HTC Sense Facebook will not log in for some reason, is there another way to Sync FB with your contacts?
[HTC Aria General] russell1997:
This program has not worked right since i got the phone on June 20th. My main problem is that once it syncs once the contact pictures don't reliably update automatically if someone changes their picture. my work around is to remove the acct from "accounts and sync" and re-add it.

today i did this and now it won't connect so it's not working at all! I'm not very happy with this app which is sad because i love the htc software in general!
[HTC Aria General] sharlatan:
I did the same thing and after re-adding my account to Facebook for HTC Sense, all my fb contacts are gone… :(

Seems like a lot of other users are facing the same problem:

One of my friends just got an Aria today because he liked mine. He can't get his FB syncd either.
[HTC Aria General] sluzi26:
Its a widespread issue and from what I read over on the HTC forums, an HTC specific one.
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
I've had my Aria for about a week now and have not been able to sync a single contact with my facebook list. If I go to my contact list and click on facebook, it shows 0 contacts and refreshing does nothing. I set it to sync in the settings but the only picture that it pulled was my own. I hope they fix this soon and make a better facebook app for Android. That was one of my favorite things about my Blackberry.

[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
I've got an Aria in Virginia Beach and its still not working for me. I tried removing and re-adding it in "Accounts&Sync"...still getting a connection error. This sucks.
[HTC Aria General] kourier:
yes, it's definitely working.

maybe you should log out from android app, delete facebook for htc sense account, delete data for both facebook apps in app manager then relogin + readd fb account. Sync & refresh in people's facebook directory tab.
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
@wizja - I just tried everything you said to do, I even logged into facebook on my PC and deleted the HTC app so it would re-add it by itself, but when I go to "People" and hit refresh it waits about 2 minutes and then gives me a "connection error".
[HTC Aria General] guido.rosso:
For those that are seeing this work, are you also getting the 100 contact limit?
[HTC Aria General] kourier:
For the first time sync was ok, then I've tried second time and it gave me connection error but after phone reset it synced once again... so maybe you're just expecting some temporary problem?
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
Woke up this morning and all my facebook contacts are there. Looks like its fixed on my end now.
[HTC Aria General] russell1997:
Works for me too!

Now, I'm interested to see if picture updates are more reliable than they were before.
[HTC Aria General] guido.rosso:
Sorry to keep pushing, but are you seeing all of your contacts? Mine won't sync over 100.
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
Mine pulled 111. I guess those are the only friends I have that provided their phone numbers to facebook.
[HTC Aria General] russell1997:
Yes I got all 201 of mine
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
All my fb contacts were back this morning! Hope everyone's has cleared up too.
[HTC Aria General] craig.cabrey:
Experienced the same thing here.

[HTC Aria General] guido.rosso:
Removing the account entirely (under settings) and adding it again fixed the 100 contact limit issue for me.

Has anyone else noticed that the contact pictures don't always update when someone changes their FB pic?

cht lockscreen you can set whatever wallpaper you want.

And what notifications are on the screen.

If you want complete customization (with sms and emails available on the lockscreen), try s2u2.

Also the flash exploit is not working for me, what do I do?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ale922:
I had an htc fuze with wm, iphones, and now i bought a used htc magic/mytouch.

Im not sure whats the difference but i do need lots of help.

The Phone says t-mobile in the front, my touch logo and with google on the back and when i turn it on it says vodafone and then htc magic so im not sure what i have. and it doesnt have a 3.5mm headphone jack, it has the usb headphone jack.

I´ve been trying to root the phone for the last 8 hours with no luck. I´ve used 5 guides and non have worked for me. I used amon ras guide and i think thats the closest i´ve gooten to root the phone.

When i got the phone it had android 1-6 and i read the theunlockr one click guide that said i had to download to 1.5 so i did. then i checked my mb version and it said 32 b but when i run flashrec it said i have EAI1/32A. Not sure what that means. I ran the command and when i tried to go to recovery to install a rom i only got the original recovery screen and not the custom.

With amon raps guide i flashed with goldcard and flashed the hboot 1.33.0005and flashed a 32a rom and radio and amon ra´s recovery and then returned to 32b radio and installed cyanogenmon rom froyoredux 1.2- everything went well but when i turned on the phone it got stuck on the vodafone splash, i left it there for over 20 minutes and nothing happend. I flashed again with my goldcard and im back at 1.5 and unrooted. I´ve done some more guides but it was almost the same but none worked. the closest i´ve gotten to 2.2 is this last guide but i get stuck at splash. Ive also tried other rams, thinking maybe theres a problem with the one i used and no luck.

Then i took my friends htc magic 32A and used amon ra´s and it worked perfectly the first try but my 32b i can´t root it. please help, i really dont like 1.5 i feel im missing out on too much stuff. here the info from the phone i get when i press return+power

Sapphire_PVT 32B Ship S-on H

one more thing, i live in Chile and we use the at&t 3g bands is there any way to change the bands from t-mobile and be able to use the at&t bands. My phone is sim unlocked but i can only use edge data and no 3G

so, here´s an update of what ive done since yesterday. I found cyanogen guide on rooting that didnt involve a a gold card but when i flashed the sappimg it said fail main version older. then i passed to cyanogens second guide that was a mix of his and amon ra´s no luck either, i mean i can flash everything, including the radio and back to the 32b rom but then it stays stuck at the splash screen. If i put the gold card in again with the sapp, i go back to 1.5 and boots up perfectly but i cant do it with any other rom. Then i tried a mix of all the guides, i even updated my spl to 1.33.2010 and then flashed a 32a rom and 32 radio and nothing, i really dont know how im so lucky that my htc hasn´t bricked after all these things but kid you not i´ve trioed over 100 ways to do it and no luck. I´m pretty sure it has something to do with the radio, right now i have radio 3.22.23.18and hboot1.33.2010. can any one help me please
[Android Themes] offtopic85:
Let me start off saying I have exactly 5 days of Android experience, with my rooted B&N nook (weird not to capitalize that) and that I loath the default music player.

It runs Android 1.5, I've tried a couple 1.5 music players but they were closed source and nearly impossible to use. (Mixzing, 3/^3/Cubed, btunes wouldn't install) With the nook's setup, Android sees one screen, 600x944 with 120 pixels cropped at the right because the 480x144 LCD screen that displays the loader isn't as wide. The default music player is abysmal.

So I am here, with the Android SDK + all 1.5 related things installed to it, instructions for running the firmware in the emulator, and my rooted nook. Hoping somebody will give me some tips as to how I can take some open source player (defualt one of some other device?) and change the UI as to make the normal controls reachable on the LCD with (not necessarily needed) the filemanager/playlist displaying up top. Or build my own simple one.

Still researching and reading on my own, but any direct help would be amazing. This might also launch me into developing some more much needed apps for the nook...

Thanks

Now please don't start some flaming about how Android doesn't have a "registry" - It has ways of storing persistent application data not on the SD cards (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html)

So are there any programs to list/scan/edit these private and primitive data sets?
[Android Software Development] GinoAMelone:
The find and grep command-line tools are the classic ways to look for things on UNIX/linux/android.

You also need to deal with binary vs ASCII files. The file tool can help determine this.

The combination of these tools is left as an exercise for the reader. :)
[Android Software Development] Kermode:
Yeah, I don't understand your reply.

I was wondering if there were apps for non hacked Android phones (if the original app can write, surely another an can peek)
[Android Software Development] RoboPhred:
With android's permission setup, applications cannot modify data for other applications unless the app you wish to modify stores its data in a file on the sd card, or provides a "content provider" for other apps to work off of.

General system settings are found at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html

Most programs will store their settings with the "SharedPreferences" class (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#pref), which cannot be modified by other applications (as far as I know).

Aside from the global settings, the only real way to view or modify app specific settings is if that app has an accessible ContentProvider (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html).

If you want to poke around any deeper, then you need root access and to look through the sql tables directly. See http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/android-how-to-poke-around-the-sqlite3-databases/.
