[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeePeeHead:
How can i tell where my contacts are saved?

When i first got my phone I synced my phone with my outlook contact on my pc. Now when i want to add a contact using my phone it's asking me if i want to save the contact to either my phone or my sim card. I would like to keep things consistent and save it in the same place as the rest of my contacts. So does anyone know how to find out where my current contacts are saved?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Good questions, I don't have the answer but I'd like to know. I have a similar thread that no one has answered yet.

BTW, when I go to add a new contact I don't get your options!

My choices are:

1. Phone

2. Google mail

That is very strange. I'd like to get SIM card as an option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cicinho:
If you want to know where your contacts are saved then go to your contacts, click the settings button, go to display options and from there you will be able to select what contacts to view, sim, phone and google. Click on one to view and that way you will know where they are all saved.

No idea why you cant have sim contacts mark, maybe your sim is full??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
First of all, if you have your phone set up as I do,

Settings/Wireless Networks/Flight mode, 99% of the time, then you won't see SIM card as an option when you go into Contacts/Settings/Display.

This is one of many deficiencies of the SGS. I hope they change this in the next upgrade.

See above.

Furthermore, having just experimented with the SIM card setting now, it is quite 'limited'. It will only save the name, tel. number and e-mail address of your contacts, nothing else. You lose pics, home addresses, groups, and any other fields that you added etc.

But back to my original question.

How can you find the folder/files that the contacts are stored in on your phone?

Also, if you export your phone contacts to your SD card and then delete your phone contacts, will importing the contacts from your SD card bring EVERYTHING back faithfully? No lost pics, home addresses, groups etc.?

Has anyone here tried this?

TIA

I just got an x10 and I was hoping to be able to listen to death.fm ( http://loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/index.htm ) anyone know how I can do it ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MindChild:
step by step how i did it...

signed up for and installed appbrain and fast installer at appbrain.com (unncessary...easier to search from computer and keyboard than touchscreen for me)

installed "Fox to Phone" for firefox (unnecessary but saves me from having to type the whole link lol)

installed chrome to phone

installed a online radio ala AppBrain's link (can also be searched and found in the android market)

went to loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/index.htm

right clicked the VLC aacplus link and selected send to phone (can also manually enter 'hxxp://loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/aacplus-lo.pls' [replace hxxp with http] into a online radio application under "add station")

and it played.

I was under the impression that Droid was Verizon's branding of their flagship Android smartphones, regardless of manufacturer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raymar23:
VZW NAMES

Ya your right there is the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid ERIS, HTC DROID Incredible, Droid X, and now the Motorola Droid 2.

Verizon uses the term "Droid" (licensed from lucas arts) to help sell their Highe-end android phones and they are the only ones you'll see using the name DROID to sell phones

Verizon has this thing about renaming all the manufatures phones to make it sound better for sales

would you rather buy a Milestone or Droid (identical). one just has a cooler or lamer name LOL :D

You need to be entering SMSC number in Octal-Hexadecimal format with special leading numbers, to tell android which format is that.

At the bottom, there is a converter for sms message to pdu format. Do the following, remove everything, except you smsc number (with plus sign) convert to pdu. Copy first 16 numbers from pdu. And enter them in your android SMSC update field. Click update - enjoy. It should be working.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Musicmaster:
So I sent my Mytouch 3G (revision 1.0 'b' without headphone jack) to HTC for repair. They replaced the motherboard. The IMEI number wasn't one that was in the unlock database, so I had to go through HTC to get it

After getting the damn thing finally unlocked, i've been playing with it. It's using the stock 1.6, but it flies. 2.1 (5.0.8) or the 1.6 that was on my phone before the repair was much, much slower. I could never multi-task and things like just returning to the home screen took 4-5 seconds.

Now its instant. I've installed the same number of apps as I had installed before etc.

Is it possible this is a slightly different revision with more RAM or a different CPU or something?

I can't under stand why else it would be so much faster

[Android Software Development] arjunking:
i have attached the file which enables us to use this hack on n900.

so can someone port it to android as they both are based on linux.

The file has been attached . change the attached file extension to tar.gz

So here's how it works.. download the .tar.gz, extract it, copy the files to your n900 (with scp, into /root), then ssh into your N900 and type : ./psfreedom-enable.sh

Then you can follow the usual procedure, unplug the PS3 from power, plug in the N900, connect the power to the PS3, then press power and *quickly* press the eject button... Then just let the magic happen!

Once you're done or want to revert back to the normal operation mode of the N900 (or to charge it) run the command ./psfreedom-disable.sh

UPDATE:

the source code for n900 has been released

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Etzolin:
Hello!

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S last wekeend. I was about to root it today, but I couldn't enter recovery via the 3-key combo. So, I've read that a lot of users are missing this feature. And that it is very vital if I fail a software update.

Should I return my phone? I don't want to wait for a 4 week reflash. Also, do you think they'll accept the phone because of that reason?

Thanks.

I've tried them exactly as they where written several times, the only way I can get into recovery is via adb

Hmm, then maybe you got one of those "recovery-protected" phones that can't get into recovery mode by pressing buttons... :(

It sounds just like it :( Should I return it? I don't want to wait 4 weeks if it bricks during a flash...

I can't tell you that.

If you have the bill and the phone is like brand new, then try to exchange it for another, maybe they'll accept yours back...

Just installed Froyo 2.2 yesterday and so far i like it aside from a couple things i miss but its sooo much faster!

Anyways somehow made my bottom bar disappear and now i have no idea how to get into my application page. I'm talking about the bottom part with the Phone icon, Application Icon, and Browser Icon. I think i might have held it to long while i was messing around and it went down and now its gone. Been trying to bring it back for awhile now and cant find out how.

p.s. I tried to post a screen shot of my phone but it wont let me due to being a new user.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
Of course. Just go to the app drawer and select an app. Keep hold of the app like you would to put it on the home screen and drop it down on the bottom bar. I believe you can scroll through the bar as well. I know for sure you can on Launcher Pro because that's what I use primarily.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
What you have discovered is the new scrollable dock bar in ADW. It freaked me out the first time I opened it. By default, it is accessed by swiping up on your screen. This action is very buggy and only works seldomly.

How to change it - go to ADW Settings > System Preferences > Swipe Down Actions > Open/Close Dockbar. Now from your homescreen you can swipe down any where below your notification bar and access this scrolling dockbar. You can drag and drop unlimited apps in it. When you want your normal dockbar back just swipe down again on your screen.

Hope this helps.

(Purchased and exchanged at Rshack)

My 1st EVO was perfect but didn't root first before installing 2.2 things went bad so I took back for 2nd.

2nd had bad back-soft key it was yellow color when lite & battery cover was way to loose right clip wouldn't snap into place.

3rd had bad light leakage & bad volume key so I got refund took a break waiting for newer batch.

3 weeks pass so I took a chance picked up Epic on launch day loved screen & keyboard yet Touchwiz didn't compare to sense , No video out ,GPS doesn't work as should & Back-key touch sensitivity suced so bye bye Epic.

Sorry for making you read this if I made a nooby mistake.

So I rooted my Slide, and flashed the Eng-release to it. When I use ROM Manager to install the CM6 onto it, I can't get past touching reboot into Clockwork Recovery. I already flashed the Clowckwork into it (I think; you just need to push the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery button right?), but when I push the reboot into it button, nothing happens.

I tried the Fix Permissions button, and it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" That means that the app doesn't have root access, right? How do I give the app root access? I tried two superuser apps, one from the Market and one from this website, the one with a Ninja. When I choose preferences on the superuser app, it just hangs until I get the Force Close error.

How do I grant my app root access? I know I rooted my Slide because when I connect it to my phone and use adb shell, the pound sing comes up.

Try this: download terminal emulator from the market, its free.

if you see this "#" you are rooted..

Im sure there are easier other ways to check, thats just what I do. I know you didn't install the rom, so don't worry about that yet.
