Gmail Contacts

Your best bet is to just do it in Gmail from your computer, then let the phone sync. It's easy and you will have them all in the same format, and you can add pictures for caller ID, etc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
You're in trouble if you have 1,000 contacts like I used to...the idea I think is to use an app that auto-works and gets the job done as a batch without you having to edit every single contact...then you can sync to Facebook and pull in some photos IDs...
[Desire Themes and Apps] stankyou:
This. Plus there is an option on Gmail to merge duplicates so you can at least have google do most of the sorting and merging for you. And if possible, don't let any HTC app mess with my Google contacts.
[Desire Themes and Apps] NiteAngyl:
I think that's the most important idea about merging. My opinion's that any given app could mess things up and leave you with a lot of different linked contacts. Personally I prefer to edit all my contacts at my Gmail account so that I don't have to merge them again everytime I flash another rom for example.

If you're willing to take the time and patience for it it'll pay off to manually manage your contacts at Gmail.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dany89:

I've been searching that function for long time since I moved from the stock sense rom to others, and still no app is giving me this. I even tried a lot of different contact manager but no one works really well.

About G contacts: I really care to keep the list "clean" and every contact linked with whatsapp, email, facebook etc, but sometimes it just lose the info, even if I've just merged that contact with the app I'm currently using (I'm running MildWild) and rsynced the G account.
[Desire Themes and Apps] asm0diel:
Try Go Contacts Ex (free), it has various functions on merging contacts (by number, email etc.)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kittinka:
Thanks, this works nearly perfect.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MYREALILLUSION:
Mine im using contapps free from market, try it if you want too!￣ω￣
[Desire Themes and Apps] xhacker:
yeah try go contact ex it work for me

I think you should sync with gmail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.ientilucci:
alright so, im sure many of you have heard that PSGroove was released into the wild. recently a dev ported it over to the nokia n900. he has since released his source code ( http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom). i was wondering if it would be possible to port this over to android/the EVO?

also, to enable backup manager to work, in the psfreedom_devices.h file, lines 181 & 182 contain four 0x78 in a row. they need to be changed to 0x62, 0x64, 0x76, 0x64,

i really hope someone can help out and get this working
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagnasty:
Well, Kakaroto and DrMon successfully have PSFreedom working on the MSM72K USB chipset which includes the Evo. Anyone want to try and compile a kernel and give it a whirl?

http://github.com/kakaroto/PSFreedom/tree/msm72k

This WILL disable USB usage for ADB, etc, so fastboot is probably a good option

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
What is going on here exactly?

You can Import/Export phone contacts from/to the SD card (sdcard folder).

This means that the contacts are going to/coming from the internal SD card, not your external SD card, if you have one.

Where are they coming from if you export them to the SD card?

Are they coming from Internal Phone Storage?

What is exported exactly? Just the names and tel. numbers, or all of the contact info you have entered (tel. no., e-mail, pics, notes, home addresses, etc.)?

If you delete all your phone entries and then Import from the SD card, will ALL the contact info come back faithfully, or will you be missing any info?

Has anyone here ever tried this?

A few more questions. Where does the SIM enter into this picture?

Is any phone contact data stored on the SIM card?

I heard before that you can transfer contact data onto SIM cards and take them with you to other phones.

I don't see an option to transfer contacts onto the SIM card with the SGS.

I had a Blue Earth recently that allowed this.

The manual says there is a way to copy contacts to your SIM card, but it mentions selecting 'a contact', not your entire contact list.

I also can't find this feature on my phone anymore (I did once).

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Anyone?

Thanks!

I figured out the SIM card questions.
[HD2 General] aeo 37:
Hi i just brought and HD2 and can not get on 3G and I know I am in the 3G area. I thought by flashing to froyo's build it will work, but I am still having the same problem. I checked and made sure it is not in 2g mode either.

anybody have an ideal on whatis going on?
[HD2 General] Ryan79:
A OS ROM flash/Android build wouldn't really change your 2G/3G connectivity... unless it has a radio packaged with it. (HD2 compatible Android builds do not come with radios)

I would suggest going to the Radio thread and trying a different one, see if that works better for you.

just make sure it's a x.x.50.x radio!!!!!

(2.12.50.02_2 is the latest... been working really well for me here in the greater Seattle area)
[HD2 General] aeo 37:
yeah I updated to the latest radio also, same one as you and still nothing
[HD2 General] borgxxxboy:
I had similar after flashing to a new ROM, turns out it was defaulting my "Data Connections" to off, which killed out my 3G. soft resets, etc didnt help, took me 2 days to figure it out and finally the guy at the tmobile store who had the exact same problem prior helped me out. Worth checkin if you have something similar.
[HD2 General] aeo 37:
^^^how do I go about doing this? Where is it under?

Hello!! Many thanks to all the developers on here for your hard work!

I been strolling through the pages to find a clean ROM with no added taskbar at the bottom, and making use of the buttons instead. I couldn't find it. Is there one? I do like the idea of making full use of the large screen on my HD2!

Hi,

Since I'm still on the 1.31.405 rom its still easy to root for me, but I would like to keep the stock rom (I really need a stable ROM and fm radio) is there anyone who can give me the stock 2.05 rom with root?

Yea that's i was looking for too
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Did you root this yourself or just got it from google?

Cause I really don't want to screw up my phone by flashing a faulty rom that someone just randomly posted on the internet.

Or isn't it possible to brick a phone just by flashing a faulty rom?
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
No, I havent rooted it. I got it from this forum. If you search you may find the actual thread. Maybe Blayo......cant be sure. I havent flashed it yet.

for this i dont need root right? because i only have downgraded.
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
I've just tried it, when I booted it for the first time it said something in chinees or tawanese I don't know. It also doesn't have dutch :(

Anyone who knows a rooted 2.05 rom which has dutch?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fards:
Hi, thought I'd throw this one out here to gather some more general interest, rather than posting it in the streak forum (where there's been some head scratching about it).

I'm trying to work out how we can sensibly extract the update.pkg files that Dell use for the Streak.

I can't see what format the file is, I've opened them with a hexeditor and can't see any obvious file headers.

I've tried various file and pkg utilities but no good.

Any ideas to point me in the right direction to keep looking?

there's a sample rom here

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterface7:
Hi, So I got an epic today and was delighted at some of the stock functionality that came with it. There are 2 things inparticular right now that i would really wanna keep after I root the phone. The semi comm manager in the notification drop down and the samsung program monitor which also has a widget.

Now for the samsung program monitor as well as other sprint services can i just .apk them up using android mate than reinstall on a new build?

also what about the 4 communication switches in the notifications bar is it possible to get that on a custom rom?

I am just loving this phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravizzle:
rooting does not mess with ur apps, it just provides root access so u can use apps that require root. We are not able to flash custom roms yet on the epic, but once that happens, then it depends if the rom that u use can support those features if they are touchwiz native.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterface7:
Sorry I meant to say if I root my phone and install a custom rom like CM-6, although even once we can install custom roms i'm definitely gonna wait until 4g is supported on the custom rom. So Ill probably just have to try out a rom that has touchwiz built in, but hopefully not to prevalent.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravizzle:
Im not a big fan of touch wiz, but I like the wifi bluetooth controls on notification window and also built in tsk manager so I use launcher pro home replacement and can still use the tw features I like
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterface7:
I see, that sounds like a pretty good idea. I also just found a tutorial for getting rid of the touchwiz launcher so once the 2.2 update is out can try that as well and use the 2.2 stock

launcher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fenopy:
Alright, so I know how to broadcast wifi with my MyTouch 3G already using Android Wifi Tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/)

However, I want to be able to broadcast as an Access Point, not as an Ad-hoc network.

Is there a patch or fix or program that does this? Or some sort of other setting that will enable it.

Basically, I want to broadcast Wifi so another Phone (Or PSP or NDS) can connect to it (Because they do not see the Ad-hoc network).

I cannot find anything that does this specifically.

Thanks for the help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam9s:
Friends,

I am stuck with a big problem, hope toget a solution from the Gurus here,

I was trying to downgrad to 2.1 from custom 2.2 ROM using some RUU. I think this one .....

"http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed.exe"

After the process was completed the phone booted I clearly heard the boot up HTC tune but nothing on the screen!!! its a complete blank ..... I read somewhere in the fourm itself that this can be solved by upgrading to official froyo again.............This thread provided the url for the official froyo ROM,..............but when I try to run ther utility its give me the following error

ERROR[131]:Customer ID Error

The ROM update utility can not update your android phone

Please get correct update utility and try again

I tried couple of other from Shipped-Roms.com but none works all give the same error ...... man I am dead ,,,, I hope the phone hasn't become unrecoverable ......... HELP!!!!! me out her guys ...

PS ::: I was also suggested to try creating a Gold Card (even though I have an unbranded phone) but looking at the instructions I dont know how am I suppose to create it without getting anything on the screen

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Do you have .Net Framework 2.0 (at least) and HTC Sync installed on your PC?

Are you able to get into Bootloader Mode on your phone? (power off phone then hold the Vol down key and press the power button once).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam9s:
Yes I have .Net 2.0 (its win 7 x64 so its in the OS itself) and yes HTC Sync installed ....

and NO I can not go in to Bootlooder Mode .... Even if I can I cannot see it .... the screen has gone blank remember ..... also if I was able to go/view the bootloader mode the problem would have been solved wayyy back .....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam9s:
I dont think I am USB bricked ..... none of the following symptoms are applicable...

•Unable to connect your phone using USB when booted into Android.

•Unable to connect your phone using USB in Custom/Pushed Recovery.

•FM Radio Malfunction.

•Bluetooth Malfunction.

•Wall charging doesn't start immediately.

•Radio Malfunction. (Fix below)

•SD Card Malfunction. (Fix below)

The only thing is I cannot see the screent. I can go in to recovery mode, as I feel the vibration. but I dont have a gold card. I cant create a gold card as it might be possible that USB debugging is unchecked ......so I am stuck...... and it seems no one is helping me out ......ayway ....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysconp1:
Same problem - SLCD no display after downgrading

I have a similar problem in that I have a branded O2 UK Desire with the SLCD. I tried a down grade and the display was frigged. Luckily I had progressed to making a gold card, but I am not sure it is working as I have tried switching the phone on with the card inserted and running the Stock Froyo. Still I am presented bythe famous 131 error and I assume that is because the phone is O2 UK branded. I have the goldcard.img file and have attempted different SD card makes (Kingston, Sandisk and Samsung) But as I can't see a display I presume none of these are helping. Just for the record I followed the steps to make the goldcards using HxD and placed the gold card image on the Physical disk, not the logical one! I learnt from previous mistakes! The disk is picked up in windows and I don't see the prompt for formatting. So I do assume from other posts that everything is ok.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I am a bit of a noob and this phone has me scratching my head. I should have got an unlock code and unlocked it before I did anything... maybe that would have helped! If I can get the display working I would be happy... Oh and I have tried unrevoked 3 with both clockworkmod and RA-desire img's but that hasn't helped either. I can get the phone into bootloader mode and I can see it in the windows device manager, but without an idea of the menu on the bootloader, I can't navigate to do anything.

Any help would be gratefully received :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam9s:
Well After banging my head for full one days and almost the entire night, I finally was able to find the correct RUU for my phone, with NOT much of help by the people around here (sadly). Had people guided me I would landed to the solution quite early .......... It was just a matter of finding the correct RUU and the following thread helped me to get that RUU ....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748498&highlight=SLCD

The first method though might be correct but, was not working for me, first it says to copy the update.zip to the gold card, and I did not have the gold card, could not create one with the tool as "USB Debugging' might not have been enabled........and second, Its quite possible I might not be pressing correct keys or what ever ........without the screen it is really tough you know .......

So tried the second method with very low hopes, as I had already tried like 6,7 RUUs on my phone and all were giving CID error ........ also the method again says to create the gold card and place the exe on it....

I dont know what gold card does or what exactly is its purpose, but what I did was to create a Gold Card using my friend's HTC Desire, placed the card in my ScreenBricked phone and booted the phone (Normal boot not the fast boot mode as suggested in the guide) ........ When the phone was booted (I come to know this when I hear the boot HTC tone and the below lights come up) ........ ran the RUU exe and FINALLY!!!!! I was able to see the progress bar on the screen itself and the process completing. The phone re booted and I after 2 gruesome days I was able to see the Display back on my Phone .....<<WHEW!!!!!>> .........

Thanks to the forum for providing the solution.....

To conclude I would also like to add, that people on this forum <<Assume>> that the end user is atuned to this kind of behaviour, they hardly bother, what the user might be going through as a n00b, or as new user who has just Bricked the phone...... for him the only help is from there Gurus out here........

Nobody is an expert from day one all learn with time and that is something some people forget when they have that accquired knowldge ..........

Anyway.......thanks to Brother Lollylost100 for providing the only ROM that actully worked for me ....... I dont know if placing the gold card created through the other phone was ther key, OR the process would have worked without it anyhow, but it sure did work and I am back with my Phone ..........

Cheers to every one here

Thanks and regards

Sammy

PS ::: @Sysconp1, as I said I am not sure if gold card was the key (as mine is a non branded phone) but one thing is sure is you got to find the correct RUU for the stock froyo for you phone ...... untill then it keeps giving the CID error .....Best of luck to you for finding out the solution .....

Yes I did, what do you expect, I know what you are trying to say here..... I did not even open a thread and was asking for help in already created threads, but then I was suggest that I open a new one ....... :rolleyes:

And there is a plethora of information floating around on this forum, I am not saying someone would have given me the solution in go one, ofcourse not ...... but atleast should have understood the frame of mind and pointed me in the right direction ........ thats all .....

As I said no one is an expert in anything right from the word start ,.....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam9s:
What do you think means by the following statement ...

is'nt it appreciation ......

I have addressed both of the things ...... my appreciation and the concern as well ....

I was in this other very popular forum androidfourms.com, and there even though I did the mistake of not searching and opening up a new thread, the members were kind and patient enough to help me out AND calmly explain me that this could have been searched ..... I felt more obliged to them than I feel here ......

But anyway ....If you are not able to understand the other POV so be it .......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Mr. X-:
Ok, you may be a little bit slow so ill heelp you out here, people here for the most part were nothing but willing to help and tried to do so.

you replied with this after the fact:

Again way to be so much appreciative to the people who were trying to help and seem to have much better search skills then you.

Honestly where do you get off blaming others for "banging my head for full one days and almost the entire night" saying they did nothing to help, meanwhile they were the only ones with a grasp of the search function here, and possibly the only ones with any idea what you did with out researching first. Then having the sheer audacity too say "Had people guided me I would landed to the solution quite early" Do you really feel that entitled that every one here MUST and should have held your hand to the exact solution immediately.

Again i say bravo on appreciating what help you did get here and bravo on failing to help your self with your massive sense of entitlement.

I had to spend hours just to reach to a point where I was, for the first time able to just realize that there was something called blank screen issue........ I was searching all wrong options ..... Asking wrong questions.... .....All one could have done was to tell me patiently its called a screen brick and its recoverable, checkout this thread .......

rather than trashing this forum section whenever you feel the need to come around, why don't you just name it the Nexus One General Info and Questions Forum Section. It's quite retarded that you keep coming in here in disturbing us users by moving every thread in the forum section. It's also quite unprofessional.

I think it's obvious by now folks want to be able to post questions in this forum section...regardless of mods and admins obsessive compulsive need to make us post question only in a certain place.
