Hey,

I am looking to buy an Android phone with a large screen and physical keyboard. It needs to be fully compatible with AT&T/Telstra 3G, and there is no price limit.

I installed the gmail update that was in the market. Since I installed it, my contacts have not synced with gmail. I noticed my phone was not sleeping and started looking and I found that the google contacts were not syncing but would try and after a few minutes it would get this error message:

Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly

This has been happening for 7 days and after the sync fails it trys again and prevents the phone from sleeping. I have tried removing this update and I have been unable to. The only solution I know is to wipe the data and flash the rom again. Is anybody else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cabrone1:
I am on a stock ROM and i still get stupid issues revolving around Gmail. The giant POS keeps my phone trying to sync all day, so I use ATK to simply kill Gmail, then go into running applications and stop the sync.

It is VERY annoying.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I did some more testing and here is the strange thing. The mail and calendar sync with no problems. It is just the contact sync that causes this error. I made a change to a contact while logged into gmail on my pc. I enabled the contact sync and after a little while it gave me that error. However it did sync the contact and change I made on the pc was reflected in the contact now on my Evo. So I did it the other way and changed a contact on the Evo and synced again. After getting the error message I checked the contact on my pc and the change was there. So the contacts are syncing but something is not telling the evo that the sync was completed properly. Anybody have any ideas what is causing all of this? I have to leave it disabled for the contacts if I want my phone to sleep.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] juliantchan:
Though I have encountered the same problem as described but I would like to eliminate the connection issue first. My interest is to sync contact from gmail to phone (a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.1). Normally I will not use 3g (GPRS is too expensive in this part of the world) but connecting thru wifi. I am very sure the connection is thru as I am able to access my gmail account thru the phone browser. I then get to phone menu and start syncing (setting, sync) but got the "sync is currently experiencing........" error message. My question is whether there is any restriction that sync must go thru 3g (GPRS) connection or not.

- JayCee
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I have tried it connected via wifi, 3G, and 4G. For me it didn't matter what connection I was using I still get that sync error when syncing the contacts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
Well I thought everything was fine until today. I noticed my awake time was once again the same as the up time. I got to looking and not it appears as if the google calendar is hanging on the sync. It does not give an error like the contacts does but the sync icon never goes away. I unchecked it from the sync and the phone is sleeping again. I don't know what is going on. Time to factory reset and flash the rom again.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gratefultyler:
Same issue. I've flashed several different roms in the last few days. Any rom that has the updated Gmail app is causing my contacts to "loop" in the sync and eventually give me the "currently experiencing" error message with lovely "!" (thanks, needed that). Older versions work fine.

Here's the wierd part...

I added a contact online and it still synced perfectly to the phone.

I added a contact to the phone and it showed up online.

THUS - I believe this is a phantom error message.

Hope that helps. I'm annoyed myself. I wanna update but keep running my old backup since sync isnt an issue with the older gmail.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Slightly off topic, but task killers are completely worthless, especially on Froyo.

--
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I believe the error message is invalid as well. But it keeps the phone from sleeping because it keeps trying to sync. The only fix is to enable it, sync, then disable the contacts from syncing. Has anybody been able to find out any information as to what is going on with it? I was wondering if it is something that we can report as a bug to either htc or google.

Just seen the thread about a new ROM.

My ROM is the last Offical Jan one and I am interested especially in an updated Radio so want to update.

BUT I have a number of important SMS on the phone that I wish to keep.

How do I back them up, flash to a new ROM, then restore them please?
[HD2 General] xnifex:
this has been asked a ridiculous amount of times. search
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
I really bloody hate when people feel the need to post this - on XDA more than any other forum I frequent.

I searched.

I searched this sub-forum; I searched the new Q&A section.

I read about 20 threads.

I did not get the answer I wanted.

I posted the question.

You don't want to help someone struggling, don't. Why though feel the need to intimidate posters with this?
[HD2 General] MrSneeze:
Microsoft My Phone is what you want.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
mainly because I find it hard that with a search in just HD2 General for "backup sms" you couldn't find anything out of the 85 threads that pop up. You hate when people say to search, a lot of people hate it when people ask questions that have been asked/answered a lot.

Here's a hint: don't use the top search where it shows a magnifying glass & a sprocket, right at the very beginning of the list of threads there's an item that says "search this forum". it shows on every forum & every post & is much better.

Here are a list of programs that work:

Jeyo Mobile Companion

SPB Backup

PIMbackup

M$ MyPhone

I personally use Jeyo, though it isn't free. It backs them up to M$ Outlook & you can restore as well.
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Thank you both.

As it happens I do also have a wry chuckle when someone posts a question that has been asnwered 3 threads down - but it is the slightly sneery need to dive in and smack a person down who is obviously just after some help from people who have been there and done it and does sometimes get on my wick [as it obviously did yesterday :p ]
[HD2 General] lantern20:
You could also use PIM Backup.

I had a lot of problems with restoration and pimbackup, especially with secure box

As my calendar is already synced with google, contacts with outlook via activesync and pix etc are on the sd card I have just activated myphone and set it to sync sms only.

Hello guys,

I have a request from our kind chefs. Is it at all possible to have a JJ1 Rom that has the greek swype keyboard in it?

Thank you very much,

Tepes4
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _DiMoN_:
Is that possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huxflux2003:
I think you can get Swype from a different ROM where it supports greek. I have done it in Froyo JPH by getting the Swype binaries and libraries from an Eclair ROM. So if it works between Eclair and Froyo I assume it will work between two Eclair ROMs.

Unfortunately I dont remember the filenames that need to be replaced, but use the forum search function and you will find it. I think that one of the files is libSwypeCore.so or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNikkoMan:
/system/app/Swype.apk

/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod

I'm not sure if you need to remove that last one, previously I didn't need to. So find a swype with greek, and replace it with yours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tepes4:
Thank you for your replies, but the main problem is that eclair uses 1.6 swype whereas froyo 2.2 something.

Is it possible to just extract the files from an eclair rom and port it directly to froyo?

Thank you for your replies!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelos_:

Is there anyone out there working on one. im sorry but i love my nexus very much. the one thing i wish i could do is record a 720p video add my youtube intro to it and then upload it to youtube. without having to connect to my mac convert video to mp4 then edit it in imovie then export it the upload it to youtube. i have thought about buying an itouch just so i could use it as a camcorder that have video editing. as you can see im not asking for much. im sure there is plenty of people that wish androids could do this.

video splicing

transitions

Do this happen everytime... or just that one time when you tried to deodex??

I'm asking because the modded recovery is made so that if your phone never COMPLETELY boots... it will reboot to recovery the next time your phone restarts.

When it does restart COMPLETELY, it will restart as normal.. until it fails to boot again. (Which no one ever wishes to happen lol)

Hi everybody :)

I read in many forums the update from europe comming soon in december!

It's possible this is avaiable for other régions

For the update with Kies , if you have flashing a firmware from samfirmware.

Kies says "... don't update this device" no stress.

Normally kies see 2.2 Update when this is avaiable.

If you want sure .

Download à firmware with no CSC in samfirmware.com (i have used I5500XWJG9 # Version 2.1 2010 July )

Flash with ODIN

When the phone is flashed no configure this

plug your usb cable

open Kies

Kies says "Youhou i have a udpate for your phone"

Accept update

Enjoy !

Kies says you " no update avaiable for this phone"

For froyo wait and see :-)

Hi All,

does Rogers 2.1 update change anything in Bluetooth functionality? HTC lists only A2DP profile for HTC Magic...

So my question is: does Rogers update enable SPP (especially) or other BT profiles on HTC Magic?

I'd assume 'yes' since Bluetooth API was introduced in Android 2.0 and I guess BT chip on HTC Magic is SPP-ready, but wanted to ask if anyone knows the answer :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartmc:
Bought G1 recently and rooted it to final release CM6. All good until charged it from 1000mh charger - then screen lost all functionality (maybe co-incidence). It recovered itself with re-boot and time. Now, even with charging from USB, screen died again and won't come back to life. Have tried wipe/re-flash but no change. There a several posts from others with same problem - but no solutions that I've found. The implications are that it's a hardware problem? I've spoken to HTC who say phone still in warranty - however rooting voids warranty. Questions are then: suggests to fix the problem? If h/w problem, then any instructions for taking the phone back to stock so that HTC will repair?

Thanks guys ...:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartmc:
I'm going to take my chances and send this off to HTC under manufacturers warrenty ... they may tell me to get lost as it's been rooted, or because it's actually a s/w problem. Hope not. When I turn the phone on it still synchs to my gmail account - actually in gmail on a PC it tells me I'm not logged in anywhere other than the PC session. If I change my gmail password - guess this should make sure the phone can't synch? Reckon I'll get a San Franisco if the G1 can't get repaired. Shame as I like the QUERTY and I like the G1.
