[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davedug:
I have 4200 contacts. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this solved.

While testing the Andriod App and Google Contacts I realized a couple of things.

In Google Contacts selecting ALL Contacts I could REMOVE them from MY CONTACTS under GROUPS.

If you look to the left hand side column you will see MY CONTACTS now has ZERO contacts in it and ALL CONTACTS has all your contacts.

Then I selected ALL CONTACTS in the left hand side column. The I selected only the contacts I wanted to be in MY CONTACTS. When you click on a CONTACT you now have an option next to GROUPS at the top that say MOVE TO MY CONTACTS.

The great thing about this is under the PEOPLE APP only MY CONTACTS and the GROUPS I have created show up in the PEOPLE APP.

This is what I hoped would happen.

What happened in addition to this you ask?

Now when I go into the PHONE APP I click on MENU then PEOPLE and voila! Only the selected contacts come up. Perfect so far right?

Wrong. From the HOME screen I press the TALK BUTTON. When I start scrolling through the HISTORY of the calls and I arrive at the last HISTORY call I see that the 1st CONTACT of my 4200 contacts shows up. Then I scroll on down and realize that all 4200 contacts ARE THERE!!!!

So it is not only the PEOPLE APP that needs work but ALSO the PHONE APP. In my opinion.

Am I missing something?

So my question is now how do I tell the phone app to only sync whats in PEOPLE APP and not request ALL CONTACTS?

Any thoughts? Ive only worked and researched this for about 5 hours. So I am probably missing something.

Thank you for your help.

First on your phone, go to Settings-->Accounts & Sync and uncheck/turn off every sync that is Google.

Then on your PC/computer, go into your Gmail or Google account and clean up all the Contacts like you were describing. Delete the ones you don't want, move the ones you do want into their various groups, etc.

Then back on your phone, go into Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications then let all those things load. Scroll down to 'Contacts Storage', open it then clear cache and clear data. Also clear cache and data from Dialer, Dialer Storage, and People (both of them). That should delete any of the annoying stuff from your phone.

Then after a couple minutes, go back into Accounts and Sync and re-check/re-enable all the Google account syncs. Hopefully only the contacts you had set up in your Gmail will be added back in at this point.

OK, so I am still not getting the OTA update, and I really want to upgrade. I followed the guide for manual update, and got the "can't verify image" error. Some googling indicates that this method/file is only for unrooted Desires.

How do I update mine to 2.2? Any help/pointers much appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] ChemicalMoon:
Hey there,

I'm currently working on my new project and was trying to get a few private beta testers.

Here is the project :

I'm trying to make an app which would help ppl (probably for the most part women) to manage their Dressing (Garde Robe), by manage I mean : Add, Delete, Transfer, Share, etc...

This app would also help you to choose what you should wear.

So I'd like ppl to test it and here is the thing :

If you want to be a beta tester you shall send me VIA MP the IMEI number of your cellphone & your email adress so I can lock the app to work only with your cellphone.

If you do so, you'll receive your app tonight (at least, so the 08/04/2010) and will be able to test righ away.

I need feedbacks, improvements etc...

Here is how it looks :

PS : sorry for the iPhone UI style... :(

I'm waiting for your feedbacks,

ChemicalMoon
[Android Apps and Games] ChemicalMoon:
Found a few bugs already.

It seems the app has issues with Froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] aunder90:
still in need of testers?

1) Do you still need testers

2) Im a guy so could i help

3) im willing to downgrade to 2.1 if that helps??? pm me if do need help still?

My phone sometimes loses connection to my network (3 Australia) which I usually notice after school finishes and I take my phone out of my pocket. It can't find the signal but once I reboot / aeroplane mode on and off it can get the signal again.

This is annoying because I don't want to be constantly resetting the phone to get latest phone data. I really hope someone can help me with this problem.

[Droid Incredible General] mozetti:
I have a question about the Incredible radio update. I haven't applied it yet because it doesn't really offer me anything that I need right now. I'm basically waiting for a stable, polished, and finished Senseless Froyo ROM -- I used Cyanogen6-test8 and really liked it but I want to wait for the bugs to get ironed out.

Anyhow, I had just assumed that after some of these ROMs started getting finished that they would also include the radio update. But the more I read in the development forum, it seems like the radio update and the ROM installations will be separate processes. So, can anyone (preferably a dev) give me a relatively definitive answer -- will the radio update come packaged with ROMs or will it always be a separate update?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] partizan81:
Until there is a full nand unlock, the radio update will always have to be separate since clockworkmod can't flash radios.
[Droid Incredible General] mozetti:
Thank you! So I guess the answer (for me) is to wait to see which gets finished first: s_off or polished Froyo ROMs.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretroandroid:
I have an un-branded orange HTC Desire which is factory unlocked! I live in India, I got the OTA (froyo) a few days back, When installing phone restarts and then starts looping on its own with white htc screen and a percentage bar, this keeps happening and restarts on its own! No signal can be found! Im puzzled and its very frustrating that i couldnt get it worked after 2 attempts, I flashed back to the generic 2.1 HTC rom, but I would really like froyo on my phone!

I dint use a goldcard when downloading and installing the OTA, do i need to keep the goldcard in when installing? and also if someone can post or link me to the manual installation, I'd be grateful!

And has anyone come across and workaround for the above issue? I found that a lot of people have this issue!

Any answers on this would be majorly appreciated, thanks! :)

(apologies for the newbness)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Basically you need to flash it and start again, you should be able to get a ROM working to start with then after that a good idea is to try rooting it and flashing to a Cooked Froyo ROM from here
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaggie:
Where did your phone originate from, since in india it is not out yet. Because if you got it from an asian country you have to insert a goldcard when updating. See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741836
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theretroandroid:
Thanks for all the help! finally managed to get it working!

fter the OTA Failed and I got the 1-100% count with errors and no radio. I did the following to fix:

*use at your own risk*

I think I already had the WWE_1.21.405.2 with 4.06 radio

so did not bother with the RUU a second time, just downloaded the manual 2.2 rom

renamed as update.zip copied onto gold card

put gold card in phone

rebooted holding back

selected bootloader then recovery

pressued up and power to get menu

selected Load update.zip

at end of update (when prompted) rebooted from menu.

waited while green update screen showed.

phone rebooted itself

came back up with no signal upon unlock it did the 1-100% count took a while but no errors this time.

eventually it displayed a sucsessful update message and all is hunky dory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritter:
Big thanks - had the same issue myself.

Suspected I needed the goldcard in but didn't know if writing the update.zip file to SD card would overwrite the goldcard bit and leave the SD card corrupted, though.

You live and learn, I suppose.

Hi

After adobe released the flash player for froyo, I have been trying to install it on my AVD which runs SDK 8 (android 2.2 revised 2).

I found that the android Market is not available on an AVD, so I downloaded the flash player apks that people had put up at various places. The problem I face is that I am unable to install these apks as they give my an error saying application not installed.

Any tips? Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Can someone get me an apk for flashplayer or market that would run on an emulator?

Thanks

Ashish
[Android Software Development] settlethestorm:
Do NOT quote me but I thought that only those with sense 2.1 with flash light.apk could use the full flash.apk that you found. I'm not sure if it works with froyo yet... but please don't quote me, I may be wrong.

Hello everyone,

I am working on a new thingy for my phone and later I will Publish it here.

I have 2 major difficulties and maybe you can help me out:

1.

When i make a LONG press at the Headset "Play/Pause" button I get to what I want and not to the SDdialer.exe, I've changed it. However this is really disturbing.. When I press a SHORT press it the WMP is coming up and this is what I dont want from the app to do, cause my application works with ascreen off and i cant see anything when i do things and when the WMP is working i need to open the device close the WMP and press again The LONG press.

can i find something in the registry which make the short press to disapper? or make it do nothing..

2.

Why the hell when I mute the HD2 in the registry, when the WMP is coming up the

ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrids\Mode

is coming back to value = 0 instead to value = 2. And then the sound is coming back after the WMP is up?

why the hell ? and how can i get it work in one step..and not the way of checking if the WMP and then mute again

WOW :) writing all of this was hard:eek:

Thanks In Advance!! and really cool site i'm checking the site from time to time and I get really useful information here!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecklbrg:
I know you need to do perf unlock now, but even when I do that setCPU still has shows the processor as fluxing all over the place. I had to uninstall it.

Guess I'll have to install a custom kernel.

Is anyone else having these problems?

If I install a custom kernel, will flashing a nandroid backup of what I had before hand get me back to before I flashed? Or are kernels more permanent than, say flashing a ROM? Do i need to wipe anything before flashing the kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
If you nandroid it will save your kernel. I recommend nandroiding then wiping cache/dalvik and flashing the kernel. then if you want to go back you can just restore. For the most part flashing a kernel should not mess up anything that would require you to re-setup your whole phone. it should be pretty painless.

If you can find a separate zips for the original kernels it is very much like flashing a rom. I am not sure if it will fix your problem but i do know i haven't had that problem using netarchy's kernel (as long as you dotn mind the 3MP back camera)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
Excellent advice, sir.

I lurked here for months before trying to root and install ROMS. While I'm not a pro at it yet and have much to learn, I have more confidence in what I'm doing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
I think the reason most people try rooting is because they think they will get "free" apps or something, like its something they can do to pirate software with their phone or something. I do not think they understand the process completely.

To simplify your post OP,

If you want to root and are inexperienced, read what you are doing first over and over or at least have insurance...Most problems people have is caused by their ignorance, not the fact a program did something wrong.

I was new to rooting with my Moto Droid. Before that I was loading hybrid OS's on my POS Storm. Due to having lots of computer experience, I picked up rooting and ADB quite easily. Most people that root though, I really think they are looking for the ability to pirate and not to install custom ROMs, themes, and/or run apps at root level.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
I am going to have to disagree with you. A general set of guidelines for people to follow are always a good idea in a development forum. Something like this is bound to catch at least a few wandering eyes of new-comers into the site. By reading this, they will likely lurk around, read, and search before asking questions, avoiding possible flaming in the process (and making mod's lives a bit easier in the process too ;))
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sryan2k1:
Also, fairly important, if you are in the middle of a flash/recovery, and you think the phone has frozen, or bricked, or stopped. DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY OUT.

Wait at least a half hour before touching it. It is the same with any device, a computer BIOS, phones, embedded devices, it may not look like it is doing anything, but it likely still is. That is one of the few ways to really brick a device is yank the power in the middle of a OS/ROM/Baseband/Etc flash.

We do it all the time on our hardware at work, but we have JTAG ports where we can reprogram the internal/external flash with a external tools. We don't have that luxury on these phones. Patience is your friend.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stroupified:
well said sir. the incredible was my first android device and i waited a couple months before i rooted it and felt comfortable with adb and weighed the benefits of rooting vs not rooting (that took like 2 min lol) I love technology and belive in running it to it's full potential because we paid $xxx.xx for our divices we should want to get our money's worth.

It benefits you in that you hopefully might have fewer people cluttering your Dev threads. No offense, but you're assuming the average consumer is going to look in "General Information" for General Information. They don't. There should be some detterent in place. As these types of devices become more prevalent, you should understand that the average "Development" visitor and poster is no longer a Developer.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egzthunder1:
With all due respect, you have been around for less than a month. XDA has historically been a place where people contribute, come to learn from each other, and get help if needed be. What you are suggesting here goes completely against the whole ethos of XDA as a community. Non-devs come here to learn from the devs. Unfortunately, many people from the newer forums have very little tolerance for others who may not be at their level, and this really gets in my nerves as well as the rest of the mods. While I agree that people should search and read prior to posting questions, I wholeheartedly disagree with the fact that as of recently, people cannot even post a single question without being flamed to smithereens. The OP simply posted a very useful and to the point guide with suggestions (and yes, it is basic but not everyone can understand how to make a new kernel).

At this point, I would like to ask you to stop posting these kinds of comments in this thread. You are trying to start a very much unneeded argument in a thread whose sole purpose of existence is to prevent the sole thing that you are complaining about in the first place. This thread will stay in place and that's the end of it. I have talked this over with overground and Mikey (both in charge of this section) and they have agreed with my decision.

While you are entitled to give your two cents, you are not allowed to troll and or flame, and starting unnecessary arguments for no reason is considered flaming.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bprinehart:
Quite honestly this is the most sensible piece of information on XDA. I implore you to talk to some of the other dev mods (particularly evo 4g) and offer to add this as a sticky. I've been here a short while myself, but have already seen things devolved to a level of non-civility that makes me not want to participate anymore myself.

I am a lurker and while I was good at messing with custom ROMS in Windows, I have been crawling up a steep learning curve with Android. But then I am a 50 year old lady lawyer so of course it's steep...

I rarely post anything. I do NOT ask questions because I do not want yelled at. BUT!

I have learned a great deal from other peoples' questions and the answers provided by the technically adept. Please don't close this forum to civilians. The information imparted in the give and take between n00bs and pros is invaluable as a teaching method, really it is.

The one observation I would make, though, is that 500 page forums are not really useful. Maybe shut them down more quickly as issues which emerge are addressed. For instance, once a newer ROM has been released, or patched, or an issue resolved, close that forum and start a new one with the resolved issue as the subject of the new thread and a link to it as the last post in the referring thread.
