I'm sorry if I make you or others confuse. Generally what show at phonebook is only our phonebook contacts, meanwhile now we had other contacts such as facebook, twitter, etc contacts. We can enable it by clicking three people pics at the top left of our phonebook.

For example if you check all fb contacts, the phonebook will now show your facebook contacts as well. From here you could long press your fb contacts and join it with your phonebook contacts. That what I mean before. ^_^
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Oh ok, thanks for the clarification. :) This method seems to be helping the double entries for me too. It's kinda a painful process (thanks again to SE) but if you're anal about these things, like me lol, then it's worth it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
how to NOT display the full facebook names in handcent inbox?
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Maybe you could make a "Call" name for your phonebook contacts then. It already explain before I guess.
[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
When I try to join my contact entry to a facebook entry for some reason some names, it will NOT bring up any facebook names?

But other names when I press join, it will bring up facebook entries. HUH?

anybody know why?

Also I have a few names joined with my facebook. When I click on their pic in the phonebook no facebook icon comes up.
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
1. It should be like that if you had a completely different first name as I explain at the first post. But I occur in some of my contacts still show FB contacts. Havent figure it yet.

2. Have you tried to rejoin?. Edit your contacts, click menu and choose seperate. And go through join process again.
[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
Epinion. Yes I tried seperating and joining contact again. Still when I click on that person's pic no FB icon comes up.

So you mean to tell me if the first name is not found on FB it will not bring up the entire FB friend list for you to choose from. WTF.

In fact I have several people that their first name is the same and it will not bring up the FB list.
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
I'm sorry I think I misunderstand your statement before. :) You could try to reverse join as I mention before.

1. Show all your FB contacts by clicking three people pics at the top left of your phonebook and check All Contacts on FB entries there.

2. Your phonebook will show FB contacts too now. From here you could long press your FB contacts and choose Join Contacts to join it with your phonebook contacts.
[XPERIA X10 General] iqvalentin:
Here's what I've found so far about joining contacts.

-If your contact has the same first name and last name in your phonebook and facebook/twitter/lastfm/skype, it'll be joined automatically. (I think it doesn't compare e-mail addresses)

-If your contact doesn't have the same name, you can join them manually, using the "join" option via long press on the contact or edit -> menu

-A contact that has been joined DOES preserve the name you have on your phonebook. BUT this name may not shown.

-The shown name is decided alphabetically. The name that's further down in the alphabet will be shown. So, if your contact name is aJhon, the facebook name is bJhon, twitter is zJhon, the shown name would be zJhon.

-It DOESN'T matter the order of the joining. It is: If you select your phonebook contact and join it to the twitter contact, would be the same as selecting the twitter contact and joining it to the phonebook contact.

Yeah, great update (2.1) and I love it. But only God knows how I hate this issue.

Am I wrong in something? Please, share your knowledge =D
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Sometimes the phonebook is acting too smart so only suggested wrong contacts. The easiest way is to join from your other contacts like FB contacts and join with your phonebook contacts. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I laugh when i read the facebook and phonebook names discussion because i imagine what you guys discuss if you can link/sync your BlackBerry Messenger contacts to Android.. That would be awfully painful.. At least for you who had a lot of Indonesian BBM user in the list.
[XPERIA X10 General] kbadone:
The phonebook syncs with facebook not according to the First and last name. It matches the phone # displayed on the contact facebook page or email account. If you have either one saved in the contact page, the facebook contact will appear in the join list
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Actually it depend on many things (btw I already mention it at the first post). Just couldn't figure out yet what is the order. Because I have two different people with Same first and last name with different phone numbers and it join too. I have to separate and join manually again.

I have FB contacts with phone number By Request and it still join with my phonebook contacts too.

Hi :)

I'm using ADW and I love the modification that My_Immortal and the other guys did to it to make it match the X10 theme.

But can any one make these modifications as a separate theme that we can download from the market or install as an apk file. So we can keep up with the updates instead of modifying the main app every time and uninstalling then installing again.

Thanks in advance :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fihlvein:
I was wondering what exactly does 'wipe data / factory reset' from recovery do as the last time I did that, I noticed that my TounchWiz landscape mod remained after factory reset.

Does it only remove user data and settings, but does not perform a complete firmware uncompress replacing all system files?

If so, what should I do (without flashing ROM myself) to make my i9000 to uncompress the current firmware completely, or does it even store the uncompressed firmware anywhere?

Oh and please, no guesses or assumptions. I'm only interested in facts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunder_Bolt:
Hello everyone, I have been using this forum for a while now, but havent really posted anything much as I have always found answers to any questions through searching the threads, however, I am unable to find a solution to a problem I have just recently encountered and was hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on it.

I am using an unbranded handset running JPO which has been performing superbly until today, however, when I connect the phone via USB to my PC and select mass storage the computer does not seem to recognise the phone is plugged in. The strange thing is it worked perfectly before and the only changes I have made since was upgrading the micro SD card to a 16 gig one. I try unmounting the external card and even removing it completely to no avail. I have tried the phone on 3 PCs now, even my Linux PC does not recognise it.

I have rebooted the phone, tried connecting selecting Kies mode instead of mass storage, all to no avail. As soon as I connect the USB to the computer, the phone recognises the connection and asks what I want to do, I select mass storage, then I get the option to mount via the little green android, which turns orange stating it is connected, but the phone just does not show on the pc.

Any ideas would be most welcome, I don’t really want to have to format the internal memory but I think I may have to.

Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunder_Bolt:
Additional:

I seem to remember on Eclair that I was able to unmount the internal sd card in the settings menu, however, with froyo, I only have the option to unmount the extrernal sd card. Would someone running JMO be good enough to check and see if they have the otion to unmount the internal sd?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pshdo:
Hi forum.

I have been thinking about a thing.

As the hardware and software to some extention is similar in many phone brands, is there then some kind of a combined XDA effort to do the different tasks ??

It would be a shame if there over at eg. HTC Legend is sitting 200 NAND experts, or at Samsung S is 25 bootloader specialists.

Or if the best DES-crackers in the world only are reading HTC Desire HD.

So my question is:

Is there at XDA some kind of a combined effort, some form of sharing information?

Perhaps the XDA-Moderators could set up such a system if it is not here allready.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pshdo:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightSidew1nd3r:
Pretty sure x10 user is correct. I can't see that you are actually developing any software to improve our phones. And as to him playing police, get over it obviously you dont like being corrected. X10 user may be a little blunt with people these days, but when you have to keep saying the same thing over and over to different people it gets old. He may not be a mod, but this is the sort of self policing this forum needs to get organised.

Well done x10 user

HTC 7 Trophy

Purchased this phone last night, got home, everything is smooth sailing EXCEPT

The APN was not set at the store, and beware the 360 portal (incurred extra fees)

Deleted the 360 program immediately.

Need to use the APN setting but do not know what it would be.

I am signed up for the realmail pro which gave me unlimited access with my htc diamond touch.

Anyone know what the settings would be for Spain Vodafone with this phone?

Thanks!
[Trophy General] shawcamera:
I went to the Corte Ingles where I purchased the phone, to the Vodafone desk, and the simple answer is>

push

Put the word "push" in the APN network area. Leave the username and password empty.

Worked like a charm. Happy now with this stylin device!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoatHunter:
Hi,

I recently got an authentic Kingston 16GB micro sdhc and its quite slow when connected via USB - 800KB/s transfer

I tried formatting it with sdforamtter no luck, I'm using LeeDroid 2.2e (with a kernel that improved sdcard read)

SD Speed Tester came up showing its a class4 card.

I'm also using A2SD - 512mb for ext3 partition, the rest for FAT32.

Any interesting thing I noticed is the following scenario:

1) I formatted the card using SD Formatter to FAT32.

2) Installed LeeDroid 2.2d with NO A2SD and None-Dexoded version.

The write speed via USB was solid - 7mb/s , not class 10 but still much faster than 800kb/s.

3) I downloaded LeeDroid 2.2d with A2SD, installed it after a wipe and noticed

a speed drop down to around 1MB/s write via USB (and that's BEFORE I created any ext3 partitions)

Can deodexing somehow hurt performance? or are the kernels differ?

Any ideas what can be the cause of that?

Thanks beforehand.

yes an older (correct)stock rom changes everything.

if you want to try the cooked roms based on 3.14 roms, you will need to re apply spl 3.03 and then use sspl to flash the rom, else hspl will make the rom not work.

try using the phone without the microSD card. it could be the card itself. just leave it as stock (with no card in it) and see if it works fine without rebooting itself for a few days. if so, then it's the card at fault, not the OS or device.

my focus...class 2 16gb sandisk, and weatherbug... all work fine... now one thing i did on installing the sd is i did a double format then set the phone up.. first foucus i had(returned because of a physical defect) i only did one format and it worked iffy... kind of was weird... re-setup one format and the same thing.... so i tried 2 formats back to back and no problems... then 2 wks later i replaced it with my current focus.. did the double format and 0 problems.... im "homebrewed" and of the 22. something gig avail i have 4 left open... still runs smooth...

recommended it to the local att and since they have told customers to double format they have had less phones acting up...

Same issue with mi Optimus 7. For the record, I got the phone since january. No problems until august, when it starts to reboot frecuently. In that moment I was using the leaked Mango RTM firmware. I tried with a european open firmware (NoDo), the reboots remains... But with the original Vodafone Spain firmware there's no problems.

I noticed that the phone is colder with the original Vodafone Spain firmware. So much. Also tested it with WP Bench app... The phone is slower with this firm comparing with the most usuals results. 28000ms the CPU test, 17 fps the GPU.

Maybe a known problem and the carrier underclock the device?
