[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raleran:
The closest thing I can find is an app called GroupU. It presents all of your google groups and changes made through it sync back to your google contacts. However it not integrated into he OS so it's a bit awkward to use.

Still looking for other options. Are there any phones out there that have better contact/google integration? If so, would it be possible to, say, backup that phones contacts.apk and restore it to the captivate? I don't think this would be possible (though I'd definitely try it if I had a different android phone) but I'm still knew to this and haven't gotten down to code level yet.

Anybody else have other options?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shovelhead84:
Two things I can think of in response that might answer some of your questions/issues.

You are obviously aware that you can display contacts from a specific location as you described like "google contacts." For some reason the contacts app has default settings for certain apps. For example; only display contacts with phone number when you are in the dialer or only display contacts with email addresses when in the email app. I have noticed that this weird auto filtering has a tendency to block the contacts I want at the wrong time. I would try checking the filters and make sure its not just hiding what you want to see.

Secondly, I was annoyed with the poor handling of contact groups by the captivate. It seems that the phone will not sync the group placement of the contacts with gmail. From the reading I did, it seems this is a known issue and is being addressed. Google recently made changes to the contacts section online and I am assuming that we will see a change on next months update.

I hope this answers some questions. I have not tried any 3rd party contacts managers so I don't have a replacement suggestion. I got my filters straight and I don't mind waiting for a "groups" fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiserai:
This is my wife's biggest gripe with her phone as well. The groups come through weird, and when she links two contacts together we can't seem to figure out how to set one as the default, so several contacts are showing up in her list as their Twitter username instead of their actual name.

Also, no assigning personalized ringtones for Google contacts? Seriously? Vanilla 2.1 and 2.2 don't have this problem.

I can't wait for somebody to write a vanilla ROM for the Captivate and get completely rid of touchwiz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xargs1:
Another brain-dead feature of contact groups: if you do "send message" to a group, you're presented with a list of all the contacts in the group. None of the contacts in the group are selected, and there's no "select all" option; you have to go through and tap every member of the group.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raleran:
I'm having this trouble with the default contact app. If I go to the "desktop" and start contacts I get a different listing on the contact tab then the groups->google tab. I've made sure that only google contacts are displaying (unselected google and made sure the contacts tab was blank). I don't see any filters except for the "only display contacts with phone numbers". Are there any others hidden somewhere?

I think that the groups are carried to the phone and they're synced in the background. I think that Touchwiz contacts just doesn't display them. Here's why I believe this... GroupU says in their description "Contacts GroupU integrates with built-in phonebook seamlessly." When I loaded it, it knew my labels I had set up in google contacts AND when I changed the assignment it synced back to my desktop.

I haven't seen anything on next months update... do you mean 2.2 will be released then?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raleran:
Here's the strange thing... I know someone with the original droid and they can't access groups either. Go figure.

I've never seen a vanilla ROM for android... so I have absolutely no clue what it looks like.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shovelhead84:
I would double check this but I just picked up my phone and it is dead. Not sure why but my battery is completely drained...I think you will see different filter options base on contact application launch. IE...dialer, email, messaging

We can only hope... here is one post on it.

EX Dialer seems great

First off try EX Dialer, it seems fine, and I think it addresses your complaints.

Sendly any JB 4.2 release for your Cappy will astound you, most CM 10.1 based ROMs are really fine.

I like Captivating, though slim bean looks well supported.

[Desire General] cbanbury:
This is just an idea, but the android phones that seem to have longer battery lives all have low RAM compared to the higher end devices.

Are we needlessly draining power by loading more apps into our larger RAM? Since it isn't a persistent memory form it will always pull a current when in use.

Therefore the larger the memory, the more current would be drained. I don't know how much of an effect this would have but is there anyway we can control how much RAM the desire has access to in order to test?
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
Well I think its probably more to do with high end phones loading more apps at startup, having bigger brighter screens and having bigger power hungry processors. The power for ram would be very small.
[Desire General] cbanbury:
Not necessarily, phones like the Samsung Spica have good battery life & comes with a 800Mhz processor.

I just want to know if there is a way of fashioning a kernel at 256-384MB. People have played around for a long time with undervolting with little luck so why not this?
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
always worth a try. Any saving on the desire battery is a bonus I am nearly always on 30% after a day of light use.

Dynamic memory modules (ram) use full power regardless of load or current free/used space.

I have SkyRaider 2.2 Sense, 2.05 radio, unrevoked forever, and hydra v9 #1.

I upgraded to the unrevoked forever and hydra at the same time. After the upgrades I've noticed my exchange doesn't receive new emails until I open the Mail app. I have the frequency set to every 15 minutes peak and 1hr off peak. It would get the emails before Outlook on the PC before. Is there anything that might have changed our that I can change? Anyone else had this problem with Microsoft Exchange email account?
[Droid Incredible General] shamowfski:
I was having tons of problems before the latest radio. Now mine seems to be working fine.

Mine worked fine when it was stock. Then I upgraded to the 2.01 radio and it stopped working. So i put it back to the stock radio and it still didn't work right. Then when the newest radio came out it started working again.

I think it's just flaky.
[EVO 4G General] bigblueshock:
For a couple of months I was under the impression the first wipe option in recovery (been using Amon RA's) totally cleared out *everything* while the other two options cleared out both cache's.

Now, I've been flashing roms almost daily for two months and now I feel stupid.

It didn't hit me until just now that even if I wipe all three multiple times, I can still boot into the rom.

It probably doesn't matter, but out of curiosity; is it possible to completely wipe a rom out of your memory?

Edit - oops wrong forum, meant for Q & A sorry mod please move =x
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] z_rudy:
It seems that the Android builds for HD2 have a caller ID matching problem for SMS. It's a common thing in Windows Mobile that is fixed in the registry by changing the CallIdMatch registry key to 7 or 6... depending on the number of digits in the phone number in your country.

Is there a way to modify that in Android?

For example, when I get a call from a saved phone number: 03123456, the contact name will display. However, when I get an SMS, it shows: +9613123456 (with country code) and the matching fails since Android is (probably) matching the last 8 digits instead of 7.

How many digits does your country numbers have? (try to seperate country and city/operator code please)

See /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone.preferences.xml file maybe you can do it from there. Or possibly another file from similar folder.

You usually need rootexplorer to see /data

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jade.N:
This is actually common on HTC Sense based ROMS. I didn't find it on Nexus one. After some test I discovered that the phone matches the 8 numbers from right to left and not left to right.

If there is a way to modify it and make it match only the first 7 numbers from right to left, this will solve the problem.

You can get apps such as

Barnacle wifi tethering (free version) - for broadcasting your 3g signal as a wifi signal to other devices. (note.. if you do get this app. Go into settings and put athwlan0 in the 'lan' settings and make sure your wifi is off n 3g is on before you press the start button!

Shootme (free version) - take screenshot of your phones display

Mybackup (free version) - back up contacts sms emails n so forth.. there's also a full version called mybackuppro altho not sure about the differences! lol

Typefresh (free version) - used for changing fonts!

I'm sure there's more out there

Hope it helps!!

When you set up the exchange server, make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Accept all certificates" and it should work. I had that problem at first too. I just wasn't scrolling down far enough.

We use a self signed certificate and it works fine!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RayDag:
Same here.

I was wondering about this too...

There´s no need to import the certificate manually anymore...

Check the "Accept all Cetrificates" option and you´re good to go...

Is there any option / widget to get some kind of "exchange inbox" on one of the Desktop like it is with HTC Sence. I´m @ ShubCraft ROM atm and i miss this a lot.

I used a task killer on my Nexus One because old habits die hard. So when I moved to the Droid X I still had this habit. I quit using ATK this last Friday and havent had a single glitch or reboot since.

If you have a task killer installed try uninstalling it for 2-3 days and see what happens.

I do not see this being a hardware issue...... Tho if it is please someone enlighten me....

Reason is if it is software then I can wait til 2.2 or custom rom...

Hi guys. I was on the Motorola Droid X page, under owner support, and came across this:

"The battery charger shipped with this device is a high rate charger specifically designed for your DROID X.

Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, cause your calls to fail during charging, or cause your phone to continuously power cycle."

I know that I had been using my BB Storm 2's charger with my DX since they both use the same connectors, unaware that the charger actually made a difference. I also noticed the shut-down/restart issue, and had called VZW about it twice, prompting the tech to send me out a new one. I only found this tidbit by chance afterwards. Maybe myself and others might be doing the same, and unknowingly creating a power issue...just my $0.02

Ok..

I am pulling my hair out on this.

I rooted the phone, unrevoked forever!, and now my phone is always reporting it is low on storage. I removed half the apps on the phone and can't get rid of the message.

I did do a nandroid recovery once to make sure the nandroid backup was good (could that screw up the storage totals)?

Under phone storage:

SD Card:

Total 7.6, avialable: 6.2

Internal Phone: Total: 6.6gb, available: 6.45

Phone Memory: Total: 748mb, available 628mb

Looking at the items listed under manage memory (when you click low storage) I estimage about 160mb or so of storage.

When I mount the drives on my computer, I am matching the numbers shown above for available (but the bar charts in windows showing how much memory is left are wrong - they are showing very little free storage).

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am out of apps I can remove (and that does not seem like the issue anyways).

Any suggestions?
