Sadly I discovered my old trusty G1 behind my dresser and found it in a bad condition. The screen is shattered and the hinge is off. This phone has served me good for the past two years but now I am looking forward to the G2.

Anyone else is also looking forward to getting the G2?

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Storm over on the Nexus board built a color calibrator program that does a great job fixing color balance problems (I'm looking at you Nova LCD).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745248

I am successfully using the cyanogen nightly apk version to correct the blue/purple hue on my nova. It took a little messing around and I do not have a color meter, but I ended up getting results that look great (used my macbook LCD which is color calibrated as the target).

Every LCD is different, but my settings are 919 red/ 905 green / 722 blue.

im about to try this out myself. so i flash to install this???

which one did you install?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
If you have CM6, it's already installed... Just go to Settings -> Cyogenmod Settings -> Display -> Render UI, and choose one of the last 3.

Otherwise, flash the Universal APK from that thread-- it worked for my on BakedSnack and Fresh. Don't forget in any case to install the Calibrator APK... it allows you to manually tweak the settings, and also ensures that any settings you choose will be re-applied at bootup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edtate:
Well as I don't have cm6, it seems the sense version might be incompatible. I flashed the version sense (desire) and installed the apk. Upon changing any of the sliders results in a fc.

For now I think this calibration is limited to cm6; unless I just screwed something up and somebody else can get it to work. I'm going to try and use the universal install next and see if that'll get it to work. If it doesn't then us sense users are sol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
I had thought i had said if you don't have CM6, then try flashing the Universal version, not the Sense one-- the sense one seems limited to a specific ROM for the Desire. I had no issues flashing the Universal one on BakedSnack and Fresh, which both still have Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cath0dez:
Apk

One thing to note for CM6 users - the apk file allows you to tweak the 3 color bands to any setting you want, rather than just the 3 presets provided in the Cyanogen render effect menu. I was getting too much yellow in all of the N1 presets and was able to get good whites with the sliders.

I'm not sure how to run this on sense. Why would anyone want to use sense? I'm in a fast 4g area and I still cant stand it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
If you stick with 1000s for all 3 values, you might as well as not have the APK installed at all, IMO.

The settings you want to use may vary slightly based on your current lighting conditions and the brightness. On my settings, the screen is tiny,tiny bit dimmer-- but that is only because the blacks and greys become true blacks and greys and not dark purple and lilac. At the bare minimu, leave your red and green at 1000 and push the blue down until your greys are true greys....

Hello,

If anyone has time and know how:

App that creates phone contacts from google contacts and merges them on the phone, makes the local contact name default.

The main option I need so much is copying google nickname field (when available) to phone first name.

Other options to consider create contacts with only nickname on the phone, or choose which google field to reassign to which phone field.

select contacts to copy (default could be bulk update)

Check for new contacts since last run.

I really hope it's not that difficult, and that other people will find such utility app useful too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joshw0000:
Your google contacts should sync at the first phone set up. If you want an app to manipulate the contacts from within the phone (which would also sync back to the google contacts) try the new "build a app" by google. Average Joes like you and I can create apps to do whatever we want. I made one to send quick texts to my wife with single push buttons. This app would be completely worthless to others but I find it useful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
How about this?

1. Use the Import/Export feature to export all your contacts to a vcf file (this exports phone contacts AND Google contacts, I don't know if you can export only Google contacts :()

2. Use the Import/Export feature again to import all contacts into the Phone (it asks you whether you want to import all contacts into the phone or into your Google account).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hurel:
You don't understand what I exactly want.

In google contacts I have about 100 friends and family members for which I have nicknames ( shorty, dad, honey etc.) I would still like to keep all the information. But on my phone I prefer to see my contacts by nickname. Also quickdial (use numbers to spell contact) in phone app using nickname.

My business contacts may stay as normal
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hurel:
About "where" app I can only find an app with korean description which is cryptic for me.

About vcf I imagine I could convert vcf to csv and then change the columns I need and then import, but I want an easy app for that.

About google build an app: I registered but it said I have to wait through confirmation. And I still got nothing since 3 weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] exadeci:
Well it seems that you are one of few but you could try to export you contacts, find the one with nick names and invert the first or last name with it then upload it back (if you are used to the nick names not having full name won't be a problem)

Or you can try to ask for an app here http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530 (the right section)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
Let me start off by saying that this issue has had me running in circles going batsh!t crazy for weeks now. Generally speaking, Exchange contacts and mail worked for me right out of the box using the built in Sense Mail and continued to work through several iterations of the Fresh ROM. Definitely occasional issues but all in all it worked. And, since I was constantly experimenting with new ROMs, I always just assumed it was me who had done something when syncing stopped working.

That said, after weeks of no tweaking Exchange Mail suddenly stopped working and despite all efforts I can't get it to work well again. Moxier, Roadsync, and Touchdown all work without a hitch. And, even the AOSP Email app I used when trying out Cyanogen continued to sync despite the occasional "connection error." Unfortunately, I would really prefer to use the built in Sense Mail app and hope someone here can help me fix whatever it is that is not working.

What Works and What Doesn't:

Exchange Mail - If I delete the account and start over I can nearly always set the account up but, on occasion get continuous "Failure, Try Again Later" dialogs. Once set up, the phone immediately starts trying to sync. The most frequent result at this point is no mail shows up but the syncing icon will spin for hours to no avail. However, if I go to view the folders, I can see my different folders which are clearly from my exchange account. However, sometimes after I set the account up and it starts syncing, some mail WILL start to show up in the inbox (10-20 messages) but then stop while the sync icon spins indefinitely.

Exchange Contacts - Always worked and continues to work

Exchange Calendar - From the very beginning had "connection timeout socket" issues but so I use a workaround using Google Calendar Sync. I am perfectly fine with this workaround so, if it can't be fixed it is no big deal.

Numerous times I have tried

-deleting and re-adding the account

-changing up the sync options

-wiping the phone and re-flashing ROM's (including stock)

-Using apps that prevent the phone from locking

-screaming and yelling

If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I also attached a logcat that ran this morning.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
hmmmm...

For clarification:

After a hard reset, no rooting, no ROM, just a plain stock 2.2 EVO, you cannot sync Exchange mail? Contacts are OK, and Calendar requires workaround?

I would check with your IT dept and see if they have any restrictions on device synchronization. Ensure they are running at least Exchange 2007, and try having them delete the synchronization from the server-side.

I would test on a different EVO, preferably one that has never been rooted or flashed. Does your account sync, or can you duplicate the symptoms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
Fully stock EVO has the same inconsistencies. I'm on my second EVO due to a screen issue with the first one and was traveling so didn't root the new one for about a week and had same issues. Additionally, there is someone in our IT dept with an EVO who has had the same issues but, lacking my perseverance (or stupidity) gave up for touchdown.

It seems to be completely isolated to the HTC Mail app because even if I install the AOSP Email app on a Sense Rom I can sync email fine. Unfortunately, the AOSP Email app has little functionality in comparison and what I like most is the full screen widget of the Sense...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
Check your settings for SSL and TLS. Maybe something is off there. Also check how much mail you are trying to sync and the size of the mails you're trying to download. These are all in the account settings.

Also find out if your IT dept has changed anything on their end. I had issues when upgraded from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, it could be something related to that also...

Perhaps you can provide your settings and we can take a look. It's hard to pinpoint a problem without specific info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
there are some good suggestions in the thread already, but I have something relatively basic you could try. At anytime after deleting your exchange info, did you ever go into manage applications and see if there was any data still in the mail app, and if so, did you try to clear the data and cache before reloading your exchange info?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
Regarding the amount of mail I am trying to sync, I've tried the default 14 days down to 3 days with no difference in reliability. I've also tried changing up the allowed size of emails from anywhere between 10kb and entire mail but still no consistency.

The settings I use are pretty straight forward and haven't messed around too much because I haven't seen to many areas to tweak. The server address is mail.companyname.com and the domain is companynameI've tried with and without the SSL box checked which has made no real difference.

What makes it frustrating is the inconsistency. For example, yesterday I deleted and set the account up again with another combination of settings and email started syncing almost immediately. But, as is typical, after syncing the first 20 messages or so nothing else showed up and the sync icon spun indefinitely. And, contacts of course synced without issue.

If there are other settings you recommend me looking at, please let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
fachadick had an excellent suggestion. I've seen similar sync issues when the local cache remains even after having removed the account (client-side), or if a particular mailbox in Exchange was previously synced with a Windows Mobile device (server-side).

1. Try removing the account from your EVO, and wiping out the local cache in Settings - Applications - Manage Applications (the 'All' tab). Check every app that is associated: Calendar, Calendar storage, Calendar Sync Adapter, Contacts Storage, etc, etc

2. Have your IT dept delete any and all sync relationships on the server side.

After these two items, reboot your phone, wait a while, and try again. Question: what version of Exchange does your company run?

Looks like calendar sync with facebook is having a bug.. I can't find the solution anywhere :( Here is what i did:

1. I tried to add my facebook account to be synced.

2. After it's finish syncing, I saw that all of my friend's birthday are added to "My Calendar" instead of "Facebook" calendar. I have already tried to uncheck all of my calendar except "My Calendar", but all of my friend's birthdays are still there!

3. I removed my facebook account from my account management, all of the facebook contacts are gone, but the birthday events remained in "My Calendar"

4. Added my facebook account to be synced again

5. "My Calendar" now contains duplicate birthdays event :( :( :(

Have anyone met this problem before?? It's a madness to delete 400 event * 2 = 800 (duplicated) manually.... Any solution is appreciated..:o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jjfeltham:
I have exactly the same problem. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] straide:
Funny that I can't find anyone complains about this problem..

Turns out this is a feature for Galaxy S' TouchWiz "Contacts" feature. The feature is to automatically add your contact's birthday to the calendar. Tried it out on my friend's HTC Legend, add birthday to the "People" app, nothing is added to the calendar. Since the facebook contacts are coming with birthday info, those birthdays will be added to your calendar as well...

Can't seem to find a workaround yet.. What I did is to clear the Calendar Storage data, which means all of your events saved to your calendar will be erased as well. Another workaround is to always add your own event to your GMail calendar, and hide your "My Calendar"..

Hope they will fix the on froyo..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
The work around is to not use the Touchwiz crap and use the facebook app from the market, which has a PROPER contact and calender sync. It gets confusing though because after you install it you now have two facebook providers, one from Samsung and one from Facebook, in your sync setup, and you have to pick the right one.

I really hate the Social Hub BS... I wish it could be uninstalled, all it does is duplicate a bunch of stuff already available in Android, except poorly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
I only use it for phone numbers with facebook and gmail account and I check "Only show contacts with phone number" and for duplicated I went to gmail contact and applied "Find & Merge duplicates".

Maybe you could try:

Turn off facebook calendar sync, sync your calendar with google calendar, go to google calendar on computer and delete it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] straide:
Can you name the facebook app? Tried facebook for Android but it doesn't seem to have a contact and calendar sync... :(:(

the birthday is added to "My Calendar", not your "google" account's calendar.. so syncing it won't enable you to delete it from computer..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
-_- You can sync birthday with "my calendar" and you can sync "my calendar" to google so birth goes to google calendar !! Facebook > My calendar > Google Calendar then if you delete under Google Calendar the phone will sync.

The sync with android is in the contacts app under "Activities" press add account (only worked for me on JPC)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] straide:
lol sorry nobbie here :p:p how do you sync "my calendar" to google?? do you mean i have to edit the event 1 by 1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
Open my calendar> press menu button> More > Settings > Calendar Sync> Under manage account turn off facebook calendar sync (for the time of deleting everything)

tap on you gmail account check sync calendar > wait for sync then go to google calendar this page https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/render (settings in top right then calendar settings > calendar tab) and delete your default calendar it will not delete it but the events in it

Wait for phone to sync or try Menu > More > refresh

Then you can turn facebook sync back on

Done ^^

Hi

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I did search and found similar probs but no determinative answer,

Problem started when clicking on the email preview would not open the mail - I would 'bounce' up and down so it knew I was pressing it, had a search and others said to soft reset or lock screen->unlock bla bla bla

This would 'sometimes' fix it but now the problem has worsened

Now the all my email details went awol on there own - there were no accounts setup under the account setting tab

this has only started happening recently,

So I did have gmail, hotmail and my isp all set up and running,

Have managed to get the isp one running again (they use gmail actually) but for the life of me I can not get hotmail or gmail to receive any email

This is driving me up the feeking wall, why have they disappeared in the 1st place,

why won't gmail work - same setting as my isp just different user name / pw (which I know are right)

And Hotmail - this one really is confusion time - asking for server address - before I did not need to know these as it was 'built in' so to speak, - no matter what I try it don't work ;-(

Using energy rom (25th aug)

Please help before I loose all my hair!!!!
