It's not people app that's the problem only my phone contacts are in there .It's when you go into phone dialer thrashing every

FB contact showds up
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] apprentice:
I just deleted the Facebook details from sync settings and use a third party app (Bloo) to use Facebook. I know you don't get to use stuff like 'friends' widget etc but honestly all this social network integration is screwing with address books.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Snake-Plissken:
hi guys,

i feel exactly like you. this **** messes up everything. i managed it somehow to get all the facebook, skype contacts out of the phone app. but i dont know how. i was messing arround on the weekend, and was syncing for and backward and deleting and resyncing everthing until i got it how i liked it. but it dont know anymore what how.

but a good alternative for a contact app with social networking integration is contapps. Its not perfect yet, it s still in development and there are some new features coming.

because the goal of the app is to interact with social networks without messing up your phone contacts.
[Streak 5 General] maek_it_happen:
ok im gonna buy a streak i think , i just wanna make sure that if its rooted that everythin like fastboot and recovery are functioning , what should i bee doing when i go look at the phone before i buy it , i had a htc g1 for 2 years , and i rooted it the old fashioned way and updated radio and my spl and all that , but on the streak i don't know how to boot into recovery to check if its working , any advice so i don't buy a semi bricked device .....
[Streak 5 General] aSquard:
As my very first Android device, I can honestly say I have no idea what I'm doing and I accomplished rooting my Streak in under 10mins.

I lurked around on StreakSmart and learned how to allow 3rd party Apps to be downloaded on AT&T and they have a QR code in the 'How To' section for a 1-click root. Scan the code using AT&T Code Reader, it takes you to the link, run to program and viola - 1 Touch root for 1.6. I had to hit 'Retry' on the screen once, but on the 2nd try I got the message 'Woot Your device is rooted!' or something to that extent. Nothing changes on the device save for a few extra programs that appear in the Apps drawer and I can say everything works perfectly.
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Recovery and fastboot work fine. Different boot up combinations between power button and shutter button...or volume buttons. As mentioned, 1click root is wonderful..works all the time. FROYO rom is a plus. Its near impossible to brick this device, similar to the Nexus One.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdepro:
I recently restored my phone to x.xx.xx.6 with the official HTC RUU from xda because I was having issues being heard during calls. I would come in (occasionaly) broken and so low (during every call) that I could barely be heard.

After the RUU I performed the following:

1. Androot 1-click root (before the RUU I was rooted with unrevoked)

2. Androot Flashed godspeed recovery for me apparently

3. wipe dalvik

4. flash ZenKernel 08122010 no perf lock

5. flash boot-patched.zip (From unrevoked root method) --> I will RUU again after 6. class tonight and reroot without boot-patched.zip flash

7. reflash godspeed recovery

8. ./adb push animation-cyanogen.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip && ./adb push animation-cyanogen.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

9. ./adb reboot recovery

I later installed xda app(after the problem was noticed), k9mail, and oi file manager

I am guessing that there is a problem with either the boot-patched.zip, or that there is something about my phone that doesn't like this kernel... or the cm6 kernel or decad3nce #11 cfs or decad3nce #9 bfs. I hesitate to blame the kernel as this is a recurrent issue with several kernels other than the stock one.

I'll be going to reflash NFX stock kernel and see if that helps.

Any ideas?? I'm stumped...

could be your phones speakers?? might be going out, just throwing that out there for ya.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdepro:
The mic operates correctly after RUU to 2.27.651.6.

The problem occurred after the root, kernel flash and boot animation took place
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
try each one seperatly and see what one it is.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdepro:
Okay, so I reverted to ruu and the microphone worked... I rooted and flashed a new kernel and the Mic stopped working as detailed above.

I then flashed csrom 2.1.7 and the Mic still didn't work. I then flashed nfxsprint and the Mic worked again... I'm at a loss... this seems like a kernel flash issue.

At one point I managed to fix the Mic with a fix that replaced three .csv files in the system/etc folder. This fix worked, but when I flashed a new kernel and the problem came back... when I tried to reapply the fix, it was no longer effective.

I have reverted to nfxsprint, and am waiting to find a Windows machine to reapply the ruu.
[Fascinate General] CHA0S.LUIS:
Last night I spent 3 hours trying to fix my phone. I got every problem that had surfaced in this forum. I got the dreaded force close loop of hell, the 0.0 internal memory, I had trouble flashing back to stock but in the end I prevailed.

The hardest part of fixing my phone was going through all the threads of people complaining that they need help and that they are having problems just to find the helpful threads. Everyone has problems you just have to be patient and read. Everything needed to fix most problems can be found in this forum so please take the time to read and remember search is you friend.

[Fascinate General] durakbane:
I couldn't agree more!

I spent 8 hours working through my 'disable voodoo' debacle. I'm barely literate when it comes to modding and hacking, so I knew the risks. Much like you, I managed through it with reading, perserverance, and probably a little luck.

The way I see any 'brick' issues is this:

1. Don't mod/hack your phone if you aren't willing to search, read, and work through possible issues. The phone works fine without any modifications.

2. Much like highly dangerous jobs, never get comfortable with modding a phone....thats when you make mistakes. Have a healthy respect for the fact you might accidently click the wrong button!

3. Don't flash another phone's rom (E.g. Vibrant on a Fascinate)

4. Never click the "Phone" section in Odin

5. If you've followed rules #3 and #4 and run into a problem: if the phone shows any signs of life after YOU have messed with your phone, it is very likely you can recover....maybe not perfect, but recover you can!

6. Read, read, and read.....then if you still have a problem, ask.

7. IRC Chat seems to be the quickest way to get 'free tech support' from folks, but remember, they aren't paid to help you, they aren't paid period...be nice, be respectful, and realize we are all fallible.

8. Lastly, don't give up. You'll probably learn something in the process and will feel better when you have managed to solve your own problem.

At least that is what I have learned as a noob....and I have PTSD from removing Voodoo....LV, OC, Voodoo.....so, so tempted to try it again though! :)
[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
I love my fascinate. As a total android newb with some winmo experiences, I was very excited about customizing my phone even more. It took a full weekend of 8 hour days, but I've successfully installed nearly every upgrade I could dream of, after meticulously backing up at each stage of the way. The experience of modding the phone itself was the best intro to android I could dream of, and by reading all the threads through to their conclusions, I never ended up with a significant problem that I couldn't fix by renaming something from .old/.bak or a quick trip to odin. Amazing!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
As my third Android device, I can admit that this phone has been a complete and total pain in the a$$. It is also easily the best device I've owned.

Hello... Im new in this forum :P

I live in Costa Rica and I just bought an Aria, I still have to unlock it, my question is, can I root the phone and save me the unlock money? I mean, by performing a root do I unlock the phone?

Thanks!

Should I trust the people that sells unlock codes on eBay?

[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
One is a proximity sensor, and one is a light sensor. From what I understand, the board is equipped, but the camera would need to be manually installed and then the software hacked to support it. Theres a few posts on this already, and some videos on YouTube.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I got a brand new SGS. It was one of the new models that got replaced from the disfunctional 3 button combo phone that was in canada (i9000m)

The GPS and stuff works perfectly too. So I'm happy.

But I have to reboot my phone like 5-10 times a day because the SD card goes missing (can't use camera etc. says not enough memory)

Anyone know the fix to this ? Why does it disappear ?

I haven't rooted or done anything to it -- it's vanilla right out the box.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
Your issue is not new to me. I also had this problem, but the only thing I could do was to pull my sd off and reinserting it, regardless of the uncountable reboots. I got my phone in July and since then it happened about two or three times, but from five to ten times *a day* is way too much.

Try with another sd card (it may be defective). If it's still bugging you, I'm afraid the best option would be to give it back to the shop to send it for warranty repair (or immediately getting a new one, depending on the shop).

Please, let me know how it ends.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
this is my internal SD card -- how do you pull it off and re-insert it ? i'm sorta new

I just found something out

when i plug in the USB cord - the SD card goes missing

i.e. i can see stuff in gallery but when i plug in USB cord and go to gallery it says no sd card detected

is this normal ??????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
First, this thread should not be in the development subforum.

Second, to answer your question, once you connected your phone to the computer, you will not be able to access both your internal and external sd card. My advice is that you go download and rtfm. :D

Go to the Q&A section, and you will be able to learn more.

Is there any way to transfer my verizon contacts to my fission rom?
[Droid X General] zanix:
If you are using the Verizon Backup, I heard you can export your contacts to a csv file (Excell) from the web site (I don't know the URL, maybe from verizonwireless.com)

From here, you can import it into GMail -> Contacts (make sure its the same account used on your phone), then the contacts there will sync up with your phone.
[Droid X General] darkmindgame:
I just found that verizon does allow you to view/edit/import/export contacts on their website. Proly shoulda looked there first... Thanks!

i'm thinking of getting the archos 101 tablet, not ready to shell out that much cash for a galaxy tab, and i was wondering if xda will have a forum for it. i'm hoping so becasue i would love to see a good amount of development for it. the specs are pretty nice for a budget tablet.
[General Topics] xguntherc:
I'm getting the 101 also..

released officially in the States November 8th. A Monday. I have gapps4Archos.apk and market4archos.apk's if you need
[General Topics] Crimton:
i just saw where tigerdirect is letting you pre order, unfortunately they already sold their first shipment so they are not taking orders at this time. i called and talked to a rep and he said they will begin shipping them out on the 1st and expects them to be back up for order then. it really looks like a nice tablet, then add the low price to the nice specs and its a no brainer for me. i'm sure when better tablets come out next year i'll want to upgrade...but for now this tablet looks really exciting!
[General Topics] TempestDK:
I have preordered my 101 too already. The e-store where I ordered it have said 9th. will be the shipping date. So only a weeke and a half to go :D

Would also love to see lots of development on Archos (and other future android tablets).
[General Topics] Crimton:
i'm still not sure where to preorder from, i was gonna order from tiger direct but it appears they are out for now....as well as amazon. the archos canada twitter site llnks you to a place that is still taking orders i may order from them not sure yet. i'd rather order from somewhere within the us though.

i pre ordered a 101 8gb this morning from http://www.archos.ca/ and the guy said it would be shipped out via ups the day he gets them in.

I'm really interested in the 101, but it only has 256mb ram... Thats really a Debbie downer for me. I'm looking at a Tegra 2 tablet too, but it seems like everywhere but the States is getting them.

I also emailed xda a suggestion for other tablets, including the Archos.

Yes I was hoping for more ram as well, but the original droid only had that much ram and I think it el be enough I'm sure I will get a gingerbread tablet next year anyways. Still really looking forward to getting this
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cndw0004:
So today I receive my Clear Smoke Snap On Case from DAYDEAL.COM on Ebay. I always like the smoke look on my phones when purchasing a case, so my decision was no different this time around. The case overall does not restrict the phone functions or slide out keyboard. Phone is protected well from the top and bottom, sides vary because of the large volume key on the phone. The case is more design to protect your phone from scratches, nicks, and knee height drops. Personally I believe major drops like, phone falling when leaving your car, might be pushing it. Case does fits well onto the phone, so you don't have to worry about it falling apart when in use.

Overall I give case a 8/10 base on value, minor protection, and overall design and look on the phone.

I have posted some pictures on my gallery using image shack, see below.

Does it collect a lot of finger prints?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cndw0004:
I can answer your second question without a problem, I work doing vinyl manufacturing so grease, dust, and dirt are a daily routine for my phone. So far it has pass the test with two days under these conditions, NO PRINTS, scratches, or stains. Adds no bulk what so whatever, which is a plus. Only complaint is that it's really hard to take off, but that's a good thing also.

I have the clear version of this... well the place where I got my phone provided me one for free. It's pretty decent for free... as with all cases it'll make your phone look prettty lame but that's the price for protection.

Easy put on, the part that is on the screen is easily taken off but the part attacked to the keyboard and battery are a little harder.

Have the same (?) model and my experinence is the same. The phone feels really protected, but adds bulk and makes it look a bit silly. Almost feels like my old SE P990.

Still it fits snuggly and can't think of a better solution if one wants more than scratch protection.

Been using Swype since before the beta closed (July?). I had my EVO replaced in September, but I was able to install Swype on the new phone without any problem. And it has been working fine.

I rooted my stock 2.2, and Swype continued to work just fine.

This past Sunday, Swype would open but not "swype" (I could still type like normal). So I force closed it and restarted, rebooted, switched keyboards and back, etc. Nothing I tried would get it to work.

Finally, I un-installed it. Now it won't re-download it. I get an error message telling me that my device is not an Android phone. That's news to me (and I'm sure to Sprint, HTC, and Google).

I also un-installed the installer, but continue to get the same message.:mad:

Swypes web site says I can un-register my phone and re-register it, but only one time. I don't want to do this if I can avoid it because then I will be screwed if this happens again. Plus, like I said, it was running fine till this past Sunday.

I wrote to them asking for help but still have not heard back. Anyone have any other suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmedina2:
It probably expired. Unfortunately we are not allowed anymore to distribute the Swype apk so you are going to have to wait until Swype releases the real version, or find the apk on your own. Your not even supposed to have Swype on your phone so emailing them wont do anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Thats odd because I redownload swype all the time everytime I flash a new rom. I dont back up my apps :rolleyes:. So you are saying you are logging on to the Swype Beta site and it wont let you redownload a new installer?

Did u have your phone on WiFi along with being logged in on Swype.com on the same wireless network? I had that problem the other day, and I just turned off WiFi on my phone and I was able to re-download the installer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
I believe you are incorrect. As I said, I AM in the beta program. I am supposed to have it on my phone.

As to the other replys, the Swype site is telling me that my HTC EVO with rooted STOCK 2.2 IS NOT AN ANDROID PHONE!!!

WiFi or no WiFi, it wont let me download the installer!!!

If I don't hear from them by tomorrow I guess I'll use my one opportunity to change the registered phone. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Titainium Back saved the day!

Guess I'm old and slow, but I just remembered one reason why I rooted was to install T.B.

Of course, I have no idea why it stopped working in the first place, so it could happen again. Also, I have no idea why my phone isn't an Android! :rolleyes:

I've been reading a lot of posts here, now I've got a question one of you might know the answer of.

I bought mine in june, and since a few weeks I've had tons of calls that ended unexpectedly, so I'm pretty sure it's my phone's fault and not of all the people I call. It happened with at least 5 different callers. But it doesn't happen all the time though, occasionally calls go fine, and then they go wrong like three times in a row with the same caller. Calling while charging seems to help, at least it never has gone wrong then. Does anyone have a suggestion? Like hard reset?

(it's not the simcard, I have changed providers a week ago and it's still the same)

My phone is rooted with OCLF and Voodoo, (is that a bad combination?)

Thanks in advance.
