Hi there!

Does anyone knows how work the sync of contacts (Photo, Status) on version 2.1? Some contacts automatically sync with facebook and some others not. I already try to add the e-mail editing the contact and trying to sync again but nothing.. the same contacts are syncronized. The software match them by name, by e-mail or how does it work?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephyrix:
Long press the contact and press join. Then you can select the corresponding FB account to associate.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwin00:
You're right! Thank you so much! Greetings from Mexico.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mith500:
haven't got the update yet...waiting for UK generic

is FB integration done by default? or can we disable it...as I don't really want it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lew1s:
but when I have just nick name (not like in FB) it cant find and give me different friend suggestion. how to add manully FB contact to phone book contact.

thx
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iqvalentin:
You can Long-press and select "join", or select the contact, edit it, press Menu and select "join"

You can join contacts from your phonebook, facebook, twitter, google, last.fm, skype, whatsapp, etc.

I just have a problem, when joining contacts that does not have the same name, it ends up showing the name that's further down in the alphabet.

Don't think anyone's gonna fix that, but I sure hope someone does fix it.

Does the application HANDCENT SMS drains my battery even more? Thank you :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] LFCFredda:
I have used handcent a long time now and it does not drain the battery for me. It must be the best sms app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Findee:
I have used it for several months also and my conclusion is no.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Yes I would like to confirm also, Im using handcent from day1 no problem so far like this.

I suggest if you have issues. uninstall the application and all the font packages and install fresh.

dont import from backup applications.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
+1 for this. I have been using Handcent for about 6 months now and it is easily the best SMS app out there. It doen't drain battery at all for me.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] skydirt:
If you find that it is using some battery, there is a couple of things.

If you have the Pop Up notification to turn the screen on, this can really wear battery down if you get a lot of messages. There is a known problem with Handcent and the screen on pop up feature. Unfortunately the pop up can bypass the phone lock. If it is in your pocket and you get a message, the screen turns on and if the screen is facing towards your leg, it can push buttons and stuff, keeping the screen on, opening apps, on and even pocket dialing.

I have experienced this a few times. However, normally Handcent is the last item on my battery usage list. It's very good.

New keyboard coming out sometime today? What do you guys think? I'll try anything twice...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rottenjello138:
that kinda just blew my mind haha

don't you mean sometime tomorrow?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khanh1289:
i was reading about his earlier.. i still think swype could be alot faster and easier to use. It's gonna take quite awhile to get use to all the letters being at weird positions.. i can pretty much type using swype half looking.. with this your eyes are stuck on the keyboard. and imo i like looking at a keyboard more than an X with letters lined up.. kinda tacky UI
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
doesnt seem good
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Deekayy:
Oh geez, it already looks complicated and the video doing the demo just made it more confusing. I'll try it out but swype all the way!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crajoh:
I'll give it a go, looks interesting.. Could be a big learning curve though, learning to touch type all over again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jgobeil:
Brilliant ! When you think about it, the keyboard was not designed for mobile devices. There will be a steep learning curve because we have been using the kb for so long but I think it will be much more efficient,faster and less error prone.

I'll definitely give it a try.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Webstarr:
ya i love swype too but i will definitely try it. did anyone try messagease?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
I am totally converted to SwiftKey but i'll give this one a try too. I like that they've come at the problem from a totally original angle so it has to be worth a bit of time to get used to it.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] moelester518:
its up on the market for 1.59. not sure if that was the best choice. should have atleast made it a free beta/trial at first
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
Using It now. Not sure how I f e e l About it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
That reply took 4 minute
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] escalavee:
Hi.

I just got 8pen, and so far I have to say it is an interesting concept. Other than having to relearn where the letters are (they are in no way associated with a traditional keyboard), it is a really easy way to type.

I had to keep lifting my thumb to see where my next letter was, but I think I will get the hang of it soon.

This will be great for guys with big fingers because it just uses gestures, and the user will not have to try to get a finger on a teeny tiny key.

I think they should have had a trial period, though. I did pay the $1.59, a small price to pay for the newest, latest, and (possibly) greatest, but if I don't get the hang of this soon I am going to uninstall. It should not take me a minute and a half to type "how are you".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
I agree with most of what you said, but I UN installed it. The layout is too erratic and highly frustrating. I will stick with SlideIT
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] escalavee:
Did you have any issues getting a refund that you know of?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
No sir... but you made me question it. When I downloaded the application, I got an e-mail and shrugged it off as proof of purchase and cleared notification, same with when I uninstalled it. Once you said that, I went back through my gmail and double checked. It appears as though I was not charged.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
I know... I forgot the 's' at the end of 'minutes'. I typed that response with 8pen too, it was very aggravating. The worst is the fact that you can't memorize the letters and constantly have to lift your finger in order to see where the heck the next character is!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhorner:
So I'm using it on the N1 and I cannot understand how to select a letter outside of the first ones (. y i a , e t o). Even doing the tutorial, Step 2: Your First Word...I'm trying to type "you" and it keeps typing "yoo" because I cannot select anything past O

Scratch that...so to anyone else baffled by this, I just figured out you must proceed to another quadrant and then go to the center to get the second letter or more quadrants for other letters.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mokurex:
Even if you mastered this, i don't see how it can be faster than a person who 'mastered' swype.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lambasurm:
they like totally ripped it off apple!! :mad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA

...just kidding!

come to think about it, we've gotten too dependent on qwerty

8pen or something similarly revolutionary and unorthodox is needed to push it aside :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gix0r:
LOL, that is awesome! I want a Macbook WHEEL!

I agree with everyone that there should be a free trial. With a learning curve that looks super steep, people are gonna need some time to try it out. Everyone email the developer. I already did :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I've been using it now for a few hours. Here are my thoughts:

- Charging money for such a strange / revolutionary product is probably not the best way to get a lot of people to try it out... and I don't think that 24 hours is going to be enough time for most people to get used to the keyboard. A 7-day free trial version would be killer.

- Some of the features don't quite seem to work (pressure-sensitive capitalization, for example), and some advertised features haven't been fully implemented (voice-recognition). Seems like they set themselves a deadline, and then had to run kicking and screaming towards it. A bit more polish would be superb.

- The keyboard allows for word prediction, but there is no way to select a word that isn't the centered / highlighted prediction. As soon as you pick your finger up to hit that word prediction, the prediction list goes away. I'm not exactly sure what the ideal implementation would be, but it definitely needs a little work.

- The learning curve is definitely there. It doesn't help that I can't see below my finger while I'm trying to learn where all the letters are located, but this will pass once I get used to it. For now, typing is fun and exciting (and different) even though it is slow.

Is the app worth $1.59 to try out? Probably not. But I hope that I will consider the app worth the price once I get better with it. In the meantime, I will use it as my primary input device for a few days and see how it goes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Agreed.

I used it for the past 10 mins and its a good concept. For a casual texter, I can see it working for a one-handed type. I came from swype to swiftkey and now to 8pen. I must say swiftkey is still winning in my book for now...I'll give it a few days to see if it works out. If not, just uninstall. I know it's 1.59, but I spend more on coffee :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
After the sheer frustration with sliding and 8pen, I gave swiftkey a chance and will stick with that now. Just warms me back up to regular typing until BlindType comes out ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] garfnodie:
I agree it should be free to start, but that aside, there needs to be a practice or training mode.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
I just tried it. this **** is impossible trust me.. that layout of the characters arent even organized like, ab, c, d..

its all random.. sad sad sad
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
I haven't tried this product and it might be totally rubbish, but the placement of the letters are not random... They are sorted by how much they are used in the English language and then letters that are often followed by another are placed in the sector below it. If you thought someone just threw a box of alphabet crackers at a canvas and decided that that was a good layout you can't have much hope in the survival of the human race.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
The layout on my laptop keyboard is just random too. It's not "a, b, c...", it is QWERTY. This **** is impossible. It will never catch on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryboto:
You can select the word by not returning to the center at the end of the word you're writing, it's not very comfortable to do. Also, the prediction sucks. I've been off by 1 single character on some words, and it offers me no suggestions for correct spelling. I'd like this keyboard with a combination of what swype offers in regards to prediction/memory. I like the idea, but then I realized I am entering my email address in a lot of places, and it's long. Swype learned my email after a single manual type, and since then I only have to type the first few characters of the email and it suggests it.

I'll try it out for the rest of the week, hopefully they can implement better predictor or a memory into the thing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
For something like an email address, you can define a custom gesture to enter it quickly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evilkorn:
Open the application drawer once in a while, there is a tutorial.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] garfnodie:
A tutorial is not what I need, I get how to use it. I was thinking more alone the lines of a semi-structured training system that starts with simple words and progressively get's harder so as to help you memorize letter placement faster. It would IMO be faster to learn that way instead of having to just load up a text editor and trying to type up stuff on your own.

I'll use if for a while though and see how things go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
Sorry for off-topic, I have been using swype since the leak but I haven't really tried swiftkey. What make u think swiftkey is superior to swype? I am not a heavy texter but texting is important in my job. Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] S_Dot:
QWERTY is a standard this **** is completely random..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KAwAtA:
I think tapping on my keyboard would be more simple.. way more simple than to learn this and swipe my finger everywhere. Might damage my poor thumb for only $1.59, I'll stick to htc_ime and swype if I feel like swiping.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HTCinToronto:
LOL, sent using 8pen
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HTCinToronto:
Nice, totally missed the bottom.

From the video it looks like you continue to use the QWERTY layout. My guess is it's like typing with the original iPod. Steve's ego just can't get him past his first idea. What a moron.

Edit: My bad, thought that Apple really put this thing out there. Given the fixation on the single button mouse (at least in appearance) and the poor ergonomics of the magic mouse, it would not surprise me from him to put this out there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] onslaught86:
Giving it a shot now, the learning curve is indeed pretty steep. Seems a rather good idea though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I'm sure that before QWERTY became a standard, it seemed pretty random too.

The developer set out to determine what a keyboard layout designed specifically for a small touchscreen would look like without the QWERTY convention, and I think he has succeeded. It IS different, but it has to be. This is new territory – it is a bit foolish to expect it to look just like the old standards.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bennettm89:
Word prediction seems to be better in Swiftkey than in Swype or SlideIT (just my opinion). That being said, it also predicts the next word in the sentence pretty well before you even type anything. For example, if a user typed "Mom, I spoke" then after you finish the word "spoke" a box comes up with the word "to" or something relative to the sentence.. It's actually pretty nice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
Very innovative I'd say! The advantage of this is that it doesn't stick with a language like Swype. The only weakness in swype is that it has to be a certain language correction.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carnegie0107:
You know what I find really impressive? That someone can create a keyboard with which everyone struggles to reach typing speeds of 2 words per minute, put it on the market, charge a buck fifty for it... and everyone is super-hyped about it.

Seriously, I'm all for creating something truly innovative... but this is just impossible. Nobody is going to learn a completely new layout if they can't even see the letters as they type, and they can't pause to look at them or it will type the wrong thing.

I installed it and really, really tried to learn it.... and after ten minutes, refunded.

I look forward to the next revolutionary idea.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] garfnodie:
So I used it for a couple of days, and although I did get a a bit faster at it, it still would take me a couple of minutes to type out a few word message. I think this could work, if people just had more time to mess with it. I still think there should be some kind of structured training app or mode to go along with this so that those people who really want to learn it, when they have some free time, could go through and use. It's just such a radical departure from what everyone is used to, that you really need to be re-trained to be able to use it fully and efficiently.

I have decided that I'm switching back to a QWERTY keyboard for the time being, but I will keep an eye on 8Pen. I hope they continue to develop this and wish them the best of luck. If history has shown us anything, it's that radical idea's take time to become the norm.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cyben76:
Like the video said, "If the keyboard was invented today..." If 8pen was the first mobile device keyboard, i think we would all think swype and swiftkey would be a steep learning curve..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
I'm with you. I used it as my only input method for several days, but I'm still slower with it than with any other input method - and I still made more mistakes. Back to stock android keyboard for a bit, but I will check back in on 8pen from time to time. I think it has potential, but maybe I'm just not quite ready for it yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryboto:
I'm actually getting very fast with it, and I like it a lot. The whole "finger in the way" complaint goes away once you remember which letters are under your thumb. The more I use it, the less I have to focus or even look at the 'keyboard', which is nice on my eyes, since I get eye-strain easily when using swype or any other.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
So they apparently took some of the criticisms and suggestions to heart, and released a much needed update (which is now free, btw). Voice recognition and pressure threshold capitalization both work now, and you have an option to have an overlay above the keyboard that shows what letters you're typing and such.

Definitely worth a second look.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nephron:
Im really liking this...

Pros:

- 1 handed texting

- Other people cant use ur phone

- Cant drunk text... yet

Cons:

- Takes a while to figure out where all the keys are

Other than that, the keyboard itself is really smooth and now its free! :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttus:
It started about 30mins ago, was on a call which the screen locks off when u on a call like stand by, but when ending the call the screen would turn on back no matter what. anyways i took out the battery thinking maybe the roms just buggy or the battery dead since it was on low. puttin back the battery the phone wouldnt turn on, took it out and tried again same result.

so i put it on charged nothing, gave it about 2mins charge it came on, but the boot screen with the X just had some green pixel dots all over and horizontal lines for about 3 secs then back to normal, but the phone wont boot pass that.

took out the batteries again, back in then try boot into fastboot or bootloader but nothing, just the boot screen, then the rom booted after waiting, took longer than normal. so i turned it off and try the bootloader or fastboot but it wont load just the rom, so i restarted to recovery mode from the rom it worked, turn off and try bootloader or fastloader mode they worked, now it seems all working fine, also my touchscreen is responding perfectly and the rom loading ok.

but anytime i boot the phone the bootscreen has the green pixels and lines just the same. im abit worried as i dont want things getting worse, is there anyway to fix this, is it some virus? could i just flush everything and start over???

any help would be greatful, thanks.
