Solved

Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulang_lata:
Another solution

Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange :D

This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?
[General Topics] Sebastian768:
I've decided to go "All Google" after having had two different Android phones and getting Gmail, but finding it horribly fustrating trying to follow Googles way of doing things.

1. All my phone contacts are stored on the phone, not as Google Contacts.

- In the "People" view on my Legend I only show "Phone" contacts.

- There is no way to move phone contacts to Google Contacts

2. I exported all phone contacts to a file and imported these into Google/Gmail contacts

- Viewing both Phone contacts and Google Contacts doubles up a lot of my contacts.

- A solution is linking these, but this only helps with the view on the phone, not the whole Google contact eco-system

- All info stored on the Phone contact, doesn't get imported into Google Contacts.

- All contacts imported are stored in "My Contacts"

- I only sync "My Contacts" with my Android phone, as the others contain people I will never ever call (example: Ebay seller)

- Now choosing only to show Google Contacts on my Legend looses picture information I have stored on my Phone Contact

3. I also use Picasa (and this is where it gets tricky)

- I have created People in Picasa and tagged thousands of pictures.

- I now have "Person A" created in Picasa and I have "Person A" in Gmail Contacts and on my Adroid phone.

- When logged into Web Albums, I select "Sync with contacts....." on "Person A" in Picasa.

- I then get "Person A" in "My Contacts" and two "Person A" in my "All Contacts".

- When I merge these two contacts, it removes it from "My contacts" and keeps one in "All contacts".

- This means "Person A" is removed from my Android phone since this is the folder I sync with it.

I think this is a mess..............it's holy fustrating!

Basically, I'm inquiring how you people use or have set up your Contacts and whats the best way to get a unison Contacts information?
[General Topics] luitron:
I ran to a similar problem when I switch to a Google phone. I had to export my phone contacts, upload them to Google contacts and then one by one sort and organized them. It took me a week but once done its nice I can switch from one Android to another and my contacts will be safe.

What i think its contact is messy is it shows only one big group- Google contact

I sort them well in the Google contact but i can't see any groups in my phone

I have so many groups of people it is so hard to find them...
[General Topics] kekkle:
I deleted all contacts from my phone. Imported them in Google and manage them in Google.

For extra keepsake, every once in a while, I backup all my contacts to a vCard file that I keep on my PC and in my email.

Could someone please isolate GPS related files from the latest (revoked) JI5 update and create an update.zip to try them on other Galaxy S models too?

Thanks a lot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compi_hu:
GPS can be turned on for me, i just cannot test it tight now siting in an office building full of steel and concrete far from any window.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:
Ok I am not sure what my problem was but I reflashed this file and everything works great now. Must have been a corrupt flash I guess. Anyways, this seems to work pretty good. I am not sure yet if it locks on any faster than the JI2 files but it did lock on to 6 sattelites in 2 minutes using copilot GPS. Normally it takes around 2-5 minutes so Im not sure if it was quick because of the update or just lucky.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankao1992:
Hey, thanks a bunch for the update.zip!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Your using the Vibrant's gps files on an i9000? How come? What firmware do you run on your i9000? Just curious. because I'm using JM8 on mine and the GPS works phenomenally well with the drivers on that firmware.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compi_hu:
tracks to compare

Hi,

I just arrived from a late evening shopping. It was a 14km ride away, having both my i9000 with JI5 gps files and my Wayteq N800 PNA on my windshield. N800 was running iGo8, i9000 was running Sygic 10, both recording the track. Here are the results:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...8187,19.117584&spn=0.087677,0.154324&t=h&z=13

i9000 is blue, N800 is magenta.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compi_hu:
On i9000 I have JM2 (PDA) and JM1(baseband) - the latest available with KIES. I installed GPS files from JM6 (can be found somewhere in i9000 section) then tis update.zip. I'd gladly test gps files from JM8, but nobody creataed an update.zip from JM8 AFAIK. (flashing an unofficial firmware is no option for me, as Samsung would gladly invalidate my warranty because I was using a "pirated" firmware. - Some samsung representatives stated here that you will lose your warranty even if you allow kies to upgrade your software. So I have a nandroid backup from my pre-rooted JM1/2 to be able to revert that in any problemem arise.)

What I'll try to do right now is to put back my nandroid backup and apply vibrant gps files update without having JM6 files applied. I assume this two are so close that they have nearly identical hardware and firmware so GPS file update should work across the two phones
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:
Looks like the i9000 did better?

Anyone else have a chance to test this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compi_hu:
Nope, It seems sygic samples the position more frequently than iGO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowdogging:
Thank you for this update file. Running JI4 with this. My phone went from never locking to locking 7/11 satellites in under 20 seconds.

Plus I have all the good in JI4 and none of the JI5 bugs. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compi_hu:
oooops

Finally it seems I was totally wrong. Restored oroginal JM1/2 state from nandroid backup then re-applied vibrant JI5 GPS package. It seems it cahnged nothing in this case. Possibly the improvement compared to JM1 state caused by the previously applied JM6 GPS update installed few days ago. :( So guys it changes nothing on i9000.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
Is there any reason that all leaks so far says that the phone only have 8GB Storage. Especially the HTC HD7, which is supposed to be HTCs state of the art Phone should have at least 16GB Storage from the beginning. 8GB isn't quite enough for someone with a lot of music and other media, and to say "but it has 25GB cloud storage!" isn't valid when talking about Music and media, scince the cloud isn't always there and can't be as responsive as a local storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Nobody knows anything for sure. Every leak was mentioning 8GB in all devices except an LG one, but whether that will be the only option or this is just the amount of storage in current pre-production devices or this is the capacity of storage cards that will be shipped (but can be somehow changed later) remains to be seen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I hope they're all just held on by a latch under the battery...if not those OEMs that just made 8GB phones really messed up. But they're just Gen 1 phones anyway. Really hoping to see MS code the drivers for Hummingbird & Tegra chipsets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
If those cards are somehow accessible, that would indeed be great. Especially if SDXC is supported.

On the other hand, they can easily mess up, this won't be the first or the last time they do it. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] hg23:
I think that the reason we are seeing 8GB on all the leaks are because these are test devices.

Let's think about it, most of the device specs that have been leaked are using non-removable SD cards.

SD cards are relatively cheap, just plug it in and viola, you got 8, 16, or 32 GB. Knowing this, it seems likely that we'll see an OEM (such as HTC), release one device (such as HD3) with several different storage levels (8GB, 16GB, 32GB) simply because the cost of adding a higher storage card is negligible compared to using flash storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
The reason for all these 8GB devices is because WP7 requires a minimum of 8GB built in storage for apps and media. Manufacturers can make it as high they want.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Exactly one of the reasons why I don't want to buy WP7 when it comes out. I might go to Android for the time being.

All CPUs are qualcomm 8250, no tethering, 8gb storage, no expanision (had this been on the phones, it would have forgiven the 8gb internal storage). All though I LOVE how it is incorporated to XBL, I don't think that is enough to win me over. I'm on the fence here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
Yeah, that they're also using the QSD8250 sucks. On the other hand, I don't think that Android will be faster with QSD8650A than a WP7 with the QSD8250. Part because Android is kinda slow so the extra CPU power will probably be consumed and games and Apps in Android is developed to fit with slower devices (and devices without 2.2)

Tethering is confirmed from what I've heard, but it's up to the carrier to decide if it should be enabled.

My biggest worries is still the 8GB memory (and lack of important APIs), but hopefully it's only because of the testing devices all leaks report 8GB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] YannieBoy:
Ideally, I would love have any WP7 with a SD Slot so I can go and buy a 32gb to potentially replace my 30gb 1st gen Zune, since it's built in then use whatever is onboard for phone use. As of right now, I'm still rocking a day 1 G1 with the stock 1gb inside, so anything right now will be considered an upgrade. I do have a feeling that the "leaked" specs may just test units or even a Euro specific version and the US version may differ....but then again that would be in a perfect world. Only time will tell with the "official release".
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alex530:
How the hell does Your G1 have 1g of internal storage?

After this post, The XDA app probably forced closed from my froyo lacking Vibrant:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] YannieBoy:
Not internal....SD Card. :) Hell, 1gb internal would be amazing. I dont use many apps but it sure would help out.
[Legend General] LuckyPhil88:
just cause i'm interested, is it possible to port WP7 to legend or other android devices?
[Legend General] parker09:
It's not really possible.

Porting an operating system to a new hardware platform when you have the full source is doable (depending on how much you know about the hardware involved, of course).

The Windows OS is proprietary, with no source available, and I doubt you'd even be able to dig up documentation on how the kernel talks to the hardware. Porting something like that is akin to finding a needle in a haystack full of needles, at midnight, while wearing a blindfold.

Actually, it probably isn't. The haystack thing sounds much easier.
[Legend General] raf2k:
WP7 requires Cortex or Snapdragon processors, so it will never be possible to port this OS to the Legend.
[Legend General] k.mooijman:
Just curious ?!?

Hey guys i like to ask you something .When I'm in a internal place like bedroom where the light is low and need to make a call ithe screen goes black completely (apparently the sensor detects the change) but in the external space when iremoved from the part of the ear the screen activated, but not in the internal room.

I can't choose my keyboard to press the options.backlight settings either got on or off remains the same. Is it possible to hurt the light sensor from the registry and raise prices?

Any suggestion, help is always acceptable.

Thanks for your time.
[HD Mini General] nker2712:
I don't have this problem on my HD MINI. Do you have a screen protector, that covers the sensors? Have you tried to disable the light sensor and set the the screen brightness to max?

- Acient solarclock or sundail

- Batdetector ; use microphone and manipulate the sound that bats make to make it heareble to the human ear.

- Voice scrambler or voice changer when phoning somebody

- local voicemail ; instead of recording voicemail on the server of your provider, wich when you call, costs you mony. Have an app wich awnsers records voicemail messages for you.

Update:

I will make and maintain the list of app ideas here.

Updated Launcher pro had new grid options so I could come this far, but not anymore. It looks similar, but got no usability.

How were you able to get 2 Squares instead of the usual 3? And able to format it to actual WP7 :confused:

EDIT 2: I had to resize the tiles to 167 x 167. For column and row, they are all 8. Also disable or hide the notification bar. And there you go. I will see whats the res on the rectangle.

hello !!!

I'm really interested by this WP7 theme...I tried the last week end to make this with launcher pro, with option hide status bar, black wallpaper and only one icon to go in the menu apps. after that, I tried to make real tile of the original phone on photoshop, but I don't arrived to make this with correct WxL to look like cube and with correct space between us. So I test a lot of WxL and a lot of test of colums and rows without any results, if you have a pist for this, or another, please tell me because I will become crazy.

Somehow it stucked, I removed the battery and I got in the recovery mode again with no luck

Checking root system just hands, Nandroid is taking forever to restore.

hi

i have a problem with my nexus one cm6. let's say i'm enter to a game and pressing the back button so it goes to the main screen of the phone to the one with the clock. it was before that when i preesed the back button going to the an screen of the application's or let's say one screen before the game and these was the man screen of the application's so how get t back how it was before?

thenks!
[Nexus One General] cymru:
What?

(10chars)
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
I'm guessing he means that before he installed CM6, when he pressed the back button mid game it would take him to the homescreen, however it now takes him to the application he was using before starting up the game (Again this is a guess). Isn't this normal behaviour or have I become too accustomed to custom ROMs?

For example, you start the email app, download a document which then opens in whatever office suite. Once you press back enough times to exit the app you return to your emails. Doesn't stock froyo work like this :confused:
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
This is my understanding as well (of both the OP's verbal diarrhea and of how Android works).
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I think its the other way around...

Since installing CM, his back button seems to be returning him to the home screen (the one with the clock, as he puts it), instead of just backing up a screen...
[Nexus One General] I7210I:
yes danger-rat explain me very good!

if i'm enter to astro from the main screen of application's and doing back it's brong me to the homescreen!not to the main screen of the application's
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Yeah, I though that was the problem, but I'm not sure I can help. As far as I know, the back button cannot be configured.

Since the back button now acts like the home button, you could try configure the home button to act like the back button? Lol...

The best suggestion I have would be to wipe and reinstall CM6. This isn't normal behaviour, so you've possibly got something corrupt...
[Nexus One General] I7210I:
yeah...but these is after the new instalation of the new cm6...actually it's from the cm5.0.8
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Still, it's not behaving like it should. A wipe and reinstall may help...
