[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NickPDX:
I have done some searching but was not able to find any answers. I have been using Android pretty much exclusively these days. I noticed that when I sync my contacts with my Facebook account it adds pictures to the contacts, just like windows mobile. The difference though is that on Windows mobile the pictures are nice and clear. On Android the pictures look very low res and very blurry. It seems like it is using the same picture on the little thumbnail on the as it is on the picture during a phone call.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spirit81:
yep..

I am disapointed with contact pics 2

very low res..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nooner:
Same here for disappointment with contact pics resolution, I'm not Facebook sync'ing but selected the contact photo's using the gallery app. I'm sure they were good quality when I first set them, but on reboot they are much lower quality.

I was thinking this was an issue with the way we're running Android, via the SD? Can't think why, but I don't believe this could be a generic Android issue (surely).

Use friend stream that's Included on htc sense.

I believe the pictures are actually better.

My Compact V for some reason is no longer recognising my SIM card ? I need to return it to the shop but can't remember what the original Radio was ? I've got the original stock ROM which I can flash but if anyone could advise me to which radio was in it when it came out of the box I'd be forever grateful.

Thanks in advance

If you have the original "Shipped" ROM, the radio should be included.

Also should be listed as part of the name of the ROM.

Time Out for you my friend!

Why even mention MT when you know it's likely to create a flaming war. I think mods should impose a 3 day ban on anyone using the words "mulit-touch" , "Flash" and "2.1/2.2 update" in an X10 forum.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zodiac100:
2.1 update

I think this excitement and anticipation of the 2.1 update is going to followed by an almighty disappointing sinking feeling when we actually get it. Then a huge clamour for the 2.2 update will surely begin. It all really hangs in the balance as to what SE do with this update. If they compensate for 2.2 then users might be happy but I really doubt that 2.1 will suffice for most when all other new phones will spot 2.2(flash support, wifi tethering and all the rest). I think this anticipation has more to do with frustration with having 1.6 rather than optimism for 2.1. We wait to see how events unfold with interest.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Just wrote what I was thinking. I don't think SE will give us anything exceptional in 2.1 and all excitement will dampen and converted to frustration. Anyway, the phone is not bad - doing well with 1.6 - hope it will do better with 2.1.

The problem is with ever increasing mobile models with new features, OS, new hardwares teasing us and making our anticipation high from our existing device. Next we are frustrated when we see all new models with improved specs around us and go and buy another one when the old mobile is still perfect to do another one-two years. What a way to waste money!! In last one & half year I myself have bought three mobiles (total amounting to 65000.00 INR equivalent to 1200-130 USD which is quite high as per Indian standards) including this SE X10 mini and all the mobiles are infact perfectly OK and lying unused.:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
Don't stress guys. With any luck we'll have cyanogen mod 6 (a custom rom running 2.2) on our handsets shortly. This should negate the need to update the phone, even though most users won't be able to resist the temptation of a new rom running 2.1. Just remember, if you update you destroy the root and essentially ruin any chance of installing custom firmware. Personally I'll abstain from updating until we have a clearer picture of what XDA developers can achieve.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bazalicious:
Any news on CM6 on our handsets? Or are you just speculating?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
I am speculating, but at the same time developers are very close.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arisgoku:
why bother wasting people and resources to give us 2.1 and not 2.2 is it a matter of se giving more money to google for 2.2. will this be our last update or when the 3 version comes out we might get another update?

Anyway to turn off 3g in our cdma phones. Might save a lot of battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
turn off "mobile network" and just use wifi at home?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I've read that the phone constantly searching for 3G and/or using 3G is a big battery drain. Also that unless you require the bandwidth you can do just fine with 2g. There are apps on the market to let you switch 3g off but the ones I found don't work with cdma phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihneagabriel:
Turning mobile network off like said above will turn off 3g...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Doesn't it turn off 2G or edge also. I want data when I don't have wifi. I also thought the phone switched off mobile network when connects wifi automatically.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jager420:
If you hold the power button and turn off mobile network it turns off 3g. It goes to 1x and you basically receive text and phone calls..it helps turning it off in my house because I don't get great reception so its not always looking for that 3g
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Thanks. Is that only 1G? That's partially what I want. Better would be to be able to get 2G which would be ok for web browsing. 1x is painfully slow and useless. I'd like to be able to switch to 3x just for streaming video, downloading, or other high data needs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jager420:
Yes.

Hold power down.

I think ATT when you turn off 3g it goes to 2g.but if um not using 3g I keep it in 1x
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelunchboxosu:
If you still have sense, there is a widget from the settings that you can add to do this instead of having to hit the power button. Make it a 1 step process!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
So it is not possible to shut off 3G and keep 2G?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
analog = 1Gen network

1X = 2Gen network

EDGE is GSM 2G, does not apply to this discussion.

Well Verizon 2g is hella wack then cause I tested Facebook mobile site on my phone and a Iphone 2g and the iPhone got thru way faster. I thought it was cause I was on 1g but...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
No.

An easy way to see what you can and can't do is to install the HTC Widgets (found under "Widgets", then "Settings").

The one's relevant to the topic are:

Mobile Network and Wi-Fi.

I also use Bluetooth and GPS widgets, and between the four, manage battery consumption as best I can depending upon what I'm doing and whether or not I have wi-fi coverage available. If I'm just doing calls and SMS text messaging, I turn them all off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
OK. Thanks all :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jager420:
My phone can turn off my 3g to 2g. What kind of phone do you have?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aesir Rising:
Incredible. The OP is looking for wireless data (see his post #5) when 3G is off. If you can do that, post a how-to. When I disable 3G and wi-fi, I get 1x - which is 2G, as explained - but isn't what the OP is trying to ask for (but getting terminology mixed up).

[Captivate Accessories] demekanized:
I was looking at this today, and even though it didn't specifically say the captivate is supported, I went ahead and bought it. It looked like it used the same basic plug most microphone equipped headphones use, but I can't get the button or microphone to work. It does work with an iphone, so I know (the button at least) does work. Does anyone have any ideas on this, or experience with this product?

Thanks

[Captivate Accessories] demekanized:
Fair enough...

This is the actual products website:

daydeal.com/product.php?productid=41989&cat=5127

yourwirelesssource.com/buy/accessories/cat/1005/model/1005_302888/accessory/908642

I am not actually able to post links but these should get you there.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
The compatibility page lists only a few android phones and leaves many older and newer ones that you expect to work - it lists the Cliq, but not the Droid or any other Moto phone - nothing recent either.

So I would say it just won't work - I can't tell you why - the factory headphones that come with the captivate have a similar design - 4 conductors, mic and button, but maybe the headset jacks are looking for a different impedance.

whatever the reason, I don't think you will find an easy solution.
[Captivate Accessories] demekanized:
Thanks for the response, I had pretty much decided to return it already. I did actually pull out a multimeter to check the rings, and found out something I hadn't realized before. That the button isn't a direct on/off switch, which goes along with what your thoughts were about the impedance.

I've had an idea for this exact product (more or less) for a little while now, and thought it was great to see it in store. Maybe I can cannibalize a pair of earbuds and attach a male end to the other side.
