This is not the fastest method but, in my opinion, the cleanest way to do it.

1) Convert the file to an Excel format so you can save it as a CSV file - there are lots of free dbf to XXX converters available online.

2) Format the new CSV file to match fields that Gmail will recognize. (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12119) It's possible your original file already has appropriate headers.

3) Import the contacts into Gmail

4) Sync the Gmail with your phone

Now you don't have to worry about losing your contacts when switching phones to the next best Android device in a few years!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviat:
I'm thinking about taking my x10i, on my trip to europe for 6+months. Will grab a local sim card, and soo will my friends that are coming. Would it be better to spend money on an mp3 player? or just spend some money on accessories for the x10, 2600mah batt, headphones. Also which media player on the x10 consumes the least amount of power?

I had a look around, but would be really helpfull if i could get all the info compiled into this thread :)

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Edit:

I've liked the look of the creative Aurvana X-fi headphones for a while, has anyone here tested them out? they are on special for $129 atm
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pco.vaz:
Assuming you'll have a place to sleep you can charge it every night. I would recommend the extra items for the X10 cause you can enhance the phone and use them later. Besides, if you're anything like me, the least amount of gadget the better. I like to travel light.

The extra battery may come handy if you use GPS all the time. As to mp3 player that's a life saver when you spend large amounts of time in transportation otherwise, if you're looking to do some real tourism, as in: talk to locals, hear the sounds around you and experience the place then you won't be listening to mp3 all the time. I mean, what's the point of travelling if all you do is listen to music 24/7? That will be distracting and you can do it at home.

PS-> get trip journal, it's a nice app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviat:
Well yea, i should be able to charge it every night.... but if I forget or if im on the train over night etc.... Probly will use gps a bit, and would prefer to use just my phone, rather than an mp3 player as well. Well I like having gadgets, keep me busy, will be spending a lot of time on the trains getting from country to country, I am buying 2 eurail passes, save me a hell of a lot of cash :) But those aurvanas look nice and look very comfy!!!!

Maybe a spare battery instead? can you buy chargers for just the battery? so I could charge it, while its not inside the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beno1:
Most, if not all trains in Europe have DC outlets, so no problem there :)

Spare battery might be a good idea, aswell as a pair of good headphones!

Have fun in Europe!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviat:
Yea, i forgot that. Also, i have root access to my phone, will i be able to use any sim or will i have to get virgin or third party to unlock it?

Anything about gps over there i should know abt?

Thanks for the help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pco.vaz:
If you go by train you'll definitely need to listen to mp3 for long amounts of time.

BTW did you check the enormous amount of low cost flights here? Last time I planned a European trip, staying 3 nights in each town, it was a bit cheaper by plane not to mention an enormous reduction in transportation time. Most one way tickets go for like 50€-120€ but you may be lucky to go as low as 20€. The eurorail pass for 2 weeks should go for 300-400€ so that's at least 4 one way plane trips. If you buy tickets for week days, something like amsterdam->prague->rome->barcelona->paris->amsterdam should be as cost effective as the eurorails.

Check terminala . com for low cost flights. If you use either amsterdam or barcelona as the "hub" town, you get some of the best rates to pretty much everywhere. Besides those 2 are my favorite European cities.

I don't have enough posts here to post a link. So search "Xperia X10 Cradle 2nd battery" in amazon . co . uk and you get a nice cradle to charge both the phone and a 2nd battery simultaneously.

GPS> works the same anywhere in the world as far as I know.

SIM> you'll need an unlocked phone. One SIM won't do if you constantly change countries as you'll be paying expensive roaming costs.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deviat:
Thanks for your help i spent nearly 2 months in europe last year. And we have worked out the amount of days n countries about e need for the eurail passes. But some countries we are flying to, ireland and ibiza.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beno1:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoehtaung:
First of all I am sorry if this has been asked before.

I want to ask.

How do i know what frequency my phone can endure? I heard most of the phone are fine with 600+ but my friend has 700+ and it is still not having any problem. I once tried 714(or smth around there) and my phone froze.

So.

How do i know what frequency my phone can endure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezternator:
Just test them, thats the only way really, set the app you use to not set the freq on boot, if it freezes that's probably your limit.

Most phones can take up to 691, so Id say start at around 650.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoehtaung:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExMM:
You can use SETCPU or OVERCLOCKING WIDGET (free) from market... ;)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbomberz1:
I have noticed this problem for the last few months. I used to have 700+ photos in my gallery. Last month i noticed a huge drop from 500's down to 200's. Today im at 120. I dont know what causes them to disappear! Has anyone else had this problem? I dont think its my SD card causing the problems because i have no issues with any other files on it. I can fill it close to capacity just fine and use everything. Its an 8GB San Disk C6. (maybe 1 year old)

Its quite frustrating, i had many pictures on there that are now lost. I know i should have backed them up, but didnt. Never had this issue on my Fuze, and sort of got complacent with the phone storage of my pictures i would take when out and about.

My oldest picture in my gallery is now from July 3rd.. OF THIS YEAR!

Has anyone else has this happen? Anything similar?

It's in services.jar. you will see the extra code. com/android/server/TVCableObserver.java
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
Turns out that there are kernel drivers necessary - there's a framebuffer TVOut driver as well as a USB projector gadget driver. These are built into the CM6 kernel (the one packaged in the nightly builds, not the cm-kernel tree) and obviously the latest RUU from HTC.

Not only that, at least under CM6, there's both fb0 and fb1 display devices present (/dev/display/). I'm assuming the fb1 display is for TV Out.

This leads me to believe that it is most definitely a non-kernel matter, which should help focus efforts (unless you have a vanilla AOSP kernel, in which case it will require kernel driver porting).

logcat/the kernel still doesn't recognize the USB device when I plug in the cable, and I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Mine shows the wrong number too!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pt111992:
The Line1Number is stored in the SIM

When android shows your phone number on the phone status page it is reading the SIM card MSISDN number. If this field has not been configured by your telecoms provider then there is nothing to display.

It's not a problem with your phone, its a problem with your SIM card provider.

Apparently you can insert your SIM into some other phones (iPhone, some Nokias) and set this number yourself. But at this time Android doesn't provide a way to set the field. In the SDK it's Phone.getLine1Number. There is more on CyanogenMod issue 1708.

[Captivate Accessories] baddress:
I have all these items and I can tell you that they work wonderfully. The car charger is especially nice. If you find something good feel free to post it and I'll add it to the list here up top.

Car Charger - $5.85 - Motorola 950ma MicroUSB Rapid Rate Smart Charger - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y8IH2Q - It has overcharge protection, is an OEM part, and really good quality. Read the reviews to make sure you get the correct one from Amazon not a third party. It charges faster than the Samsung wall charger and shuts off automatically.

Travel Charger - $4.09 - Blackberry 700ma MicroUSB Charger - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LRPN0S - Has the same exact specs as the Samsung charger. Works great but a the tip is a little wide if you have a thick gel case on.

USB Sync Cable - $1.69 - Blackberry MicroUSB Cable 1.0m - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QATRCA - Replacement to hook up to your computer or whatever. Supports charging if your USB port can handle it.

3.5mm Audio Cable - $9.36 - iSimple 3.5mm Male-to-Male cable - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015G5URG - Most expensive thing on the list, but it's really high quality gold plated and nice thick noise-insulated cable, for hooking your audio output to the aux on your stereo, computer or car.

3.5mm Audio Cable - $0.87 - http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10218&cs_id=1021811&p_id=6753&seq=1&format=2 - Retractable for carrying with you anywhere, kindof thin and flimsy but gets the job done for under a buck.

3.5mm to RCA Audio/Video Cable - $3.63 - http://www.amazon.com/6FT-Camcorder-Video-Cable-Sony/dp/B000I1D0BW - Composite video output cable, will let you hook up your phone to a television or other RCA video input.

So yeah, found a great deal on accessories? Post and I'll add it to the list.

[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Okay so I am on my third Vibrant. My first Vibrant was perfect in every way except battery (which seems to be a general issue) and the settings touchkey become unresponsive (which is the reason I changed it). I got my second replacement in the mail and noticed a huge different in screen colors:

hxxp://i36.tinypic.com/15gt5qs.jpg <--- I did not properly link cause this is a new account and I can't post a link of these forums.

The one on the left is the second Vibrant while the one on the right is the first Vibrant. Seeing other Vibrants - in videos, at the store, etc. - I figured my second Vibrant's screen was defective so I called in and had T-Mobile replace it again. However, the third Vibrant I just got seems to have the same problem as the second Vibrant.

(The first Vibrant was a 7/11, the second was a 7/19, and the third is a 7/18.)

I know here is already existing discussion about screen tints, but I am not sure if my problem is the same as that being already discussed, or if the new Vibrant's have different hardware than before (the software seems to be the same, with build date of 6/22).

Any input is greatly appreciated! I would really like the screen that my first Vibrant had, so if I have to I will go for a fourth replacement.

Thanks!

Seems like you created your own monster. I really don't know what you all are doing with your phones to create all of these problems but I haven't had any of these issues and Ive had the phone since day 1.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
not sure if that's the best background to judge "color tint"

if it helps, looking at your pix and my phone, mine looks more like the one on the right, but a lot of that could be the color settings on my screen and the color balance you used in taking the picture

you might try, on android market is an app called "Color FLash" - it's a freebie, but it basically turn your screen all white (to use as a flashlight)

but in it you can adjust brightness or even select colors to display - you might download it, and set to full bright in white to see if or what tint the screen's showing

if it's only that settings page showing a brown tint, it could be in the software and to be frank, if that were the case i wouldn't worry about that page being brown tint

fwiw
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
No question in my mind there are significant variances amongst screens.

I got two Vibrants on the same day from a T-Mo store. My GF's screen was noticeably dimmer. When we dialed in the settings to give the same brightness, hers was a good deal warmer (aka: red). Mine is considerably cooler (aka: blue).

So... we went back the store a few days later to exchange hers. We had 4 Vibrants out at one time and none had the same screen characteristics. Mine was the brightest but bluest, the others mixes. She took the next brightest one that had a more neutral color cast.

This is either QC trouble at Samsung or the nature of the beast with AMOLED displays. Remember, OLED is new and immature. Blue OLEDs especially are proving to be a problem. We're on the bleeding edge.

With that said, and with what I've seen and read, I would not sweat the differences in screens unless the color cast is really screwy.
[Vibrant General] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
I think you should post your pics and discussion here:

that way we can keep tint problems all in one thread.

these phones all have different tints, makes no freaking sense to me why there are such fluctuations in QC and manufacturing. It is really starting to piss me off.

You walk into an Apple store, you see like 10 iPhones on display, the screen tints look identical on each one.

You put vibrants next to eachother, and each tint is different, from blue to blue/green, to yellow, to dingy dark yellow to brown.

I contacted samsung directly and let them know about the tint issue, the rep replies "we have never heard about this tint problem before, you are the first to report it."

I used a method found on the samsung vibrant forum that works perfectly for me. Directions:

call *#*#1472365#*#*

choose "delete gps data"

go outside to maximize gps lock potential

choose "get position test"

Now let it do its thing for a few minutes. For about 5-6 minutes it was not getting a lock, but it was detecting between 1-4 gps satellites. Then it all of a sudden the phone got a lock and detected 8 satellites, at which point the phone recorded the gps data. The other forum post said wait until the phone sees 10-12 sats before backing out; my phone only saw up to 9 and locked on 8. Nevertheless, I backed out after the gps data was recorded, and now the GPS works wonderfully in Google maps, places, and navigation. Previous to this, I never got a lock with this phone, now I get a lock in about 5-10 secs. I didn't want to activate using wireless networks because that is not real gps. This is the real deal and easy to do. Try it and report back.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
will do. In the meantime, take ur phone on a run with you and see if the gps still jumps within a small radius. I noticed that when i was driving this worked really well but when i try to use it to to record my run route (so i can see distance and speed) it doesnt follow me very smoothly.
[Captivate General] Sgt_Bilbo:
I just tried this and my Captivate got a lock on 8 satellites within 4 seconds! Hopefully this will keep working til Sammy gets their update out.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
this fix works for me too! However, after a few days you may need to delete the gps data again. Good news is that it gets things working again.

Also, I have had great luck setting accuracy to 150 in lbstestmode. I think this is because the software wont drop satellites too aggressively. As a result, once the satellites are locked, they stay locked - which helps reliability alot.
