Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone facing problems with google contacts syncing?

I tried to do syncing but nothing goes to and fro.. My Gmail contacts stay the same, so does my phones one. Anyone got a solution to this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] singcheng:
I had the same issue last time.

now the problem solved (by itself) as all my Android contact is sync to my Gmail.

I did two things, but I am not sure which one actually makes it work :p

First:

I sign in to HTC Sense (and I supposed my Android contact is sync to HTC).

Second:

I used myBackup (can be found on the Market).

Then, I flash a new android (so I re-signin to HTC on first Android boot and re-install myBackup). It turns up that I got duplicated contacts (one set from Gmail, one set restored to my phone).

So, I flash again (by deleting the old android folder and replace with a new one). This time, I just sign in to Google and it syncs perfectly ever after^^
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sylpheed:
Silly question.. but how to sign in HTC sense? i don't see any accounts for HTC sense under my account section.

Lemme try out the mybackup tool then. thanks a lot!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wrecless:
I had a problem with my google contacts showing 3 of evrey contact. You can go to google.com on your computer. Log in with the account you use on your phone. Then click ADD STUFF search for google contacts and add it then edit the contacts how you like them after that go to Accounts and Sync on your phone and delete the google account then click add new account. Add your account back and it will sync with the contacts you saved on the computer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sylpheed:
finally got it working.

i realized that if you use any 3rd party contact import (sprite migrate, or mybackup) it seems to screw up the syncing.

So in the end all i used was Export to SD card then import back again after a fresh install.

So I'm trying to root my evo using the Unrevoked method...

Hardware version 0002

Android version 2.2

Baseband version 2.15.00.09.01

Software Number 3.29.651.5

Kernel Version 2.6.32.15

Build number 3.29.651.5

HBOOT version is 0.97.0000

I was trying to use the Unrevoked method that animal posted earlier. When I hold power and volume down the evo goes to that white screen, but when it starts doing the initial checking it finishes with:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<VOL UP> YES

<VOL DOWN> NO

I just continued on doing the unrevoked method anyway but when I ran the .exe file it said something it said something about a failed recovery image and the process was terminated. I'm sure the Main Version is older! is the real problem.

I've been doing a lot of searching on this and I noticed that I have S-on and maybe I need to do something to get that turned off. All of the S-off guides are for evos with HBOOT 2.02 and mine doesn't have that.

hi to all from saudi arabia

i buy a galaxy tab from uk last week

and its in english and i recive many thing in arabics like email and sms

i use the market in the device and download an arabic keyboard and its ok

i search for app thats make me read arabic from the device and i didn't find

i also search for app to add an arabic layout or font to my GT and also didn't find

i hear that there is an arabic rom for that

any one can help me in that?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Hi there. There is an Arabic ROM, from samfirmware.com, firmware > Android > Galaxy Tab > P1000JPJJ2

I havn't flashed it yet, but wouldn't advise doing it without some knowledge and experience in flashing mobile devices in general. I came from N1 and the Odin stuff can easily brick your Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] taiseer999:
The upgrade should be appearing and flashing via Kies, if it did not Odin is the only way and its not that hard or critical (did mine that way)
[Android Software Development] d47:
Hi,

I'm writing an open gl game and it requires the user to be able to type input for things such as high scores, saved games and whatnot.

The problem I'm having is that I can't get the soft input keyboard to display with the GLSurfaceView focused for input events.

Is there a trick to it? is it even possible? or do I have to draw my own keyboard with opengl?

I definitely do not want to show a separate activity with android controls because that would look really cheap and subtract from the game experience.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] d47:
Figured it out.

In the GLSurfaceView constructor I needed to set:

this.setFocusable(true);
this.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

And then to show the keyboard:

((InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).showSoftInput(view, 0);

And to hide:

((InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0)

Not difficult, but it just isn't documented anywhere, at least not the setFocusable() stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] havic:
Ok eveyone Here is something that myself and adamdietrick

Worked on for a few hours. The tablet is not to great without the internet

So I been racking my brain trying to figure this out.

So what we need to do first is get a few programs from the market place

The programs you will need are:

HydTech's adhoc wifi <-----Install it onto your phone cost like $.99

This program you might want to test without it first.I seem to be able to kill

the app on my phone and still connect just fine.

WiFi Tether <-----Tested it with this one others might work not sure.

For the purpose of making it easy program on your phone the SSID as

androidtether with the key being 0123456789012

There is a way to edit this but I want to keep it simple.

Next on your Tablet you will need the to install a program called gscript.

This is a free program from the market place.

Once you have done all this the next step is to download the zip file below

Extract the zip file and mount your sdcard on your tablet.

Inside the zip there is folder called gscript place this on the sdcard.

Inside the zip there is 5 files.The adhoc.sh and normal.sh have to stay within the gscript folder.

The other 3 files are named

wpa_supplicant.conf

wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc

wpa_supplicant.conf.normal

These need to be pushed to /data/misc/wifi

I would recommend using droid explorer and then you can just paste them into

the correct directory.

Once you have this done then open gscript and click the menu button

choose add script The first one I named adhoc and then make sure that needs su is checked. Once this is done choose load file and choose the adhoc.sh file

click on save. Now Do the same steps over but this time when choosing load file choose normal.sh then click save.

Now on the desktop press and hold choose shortcuts and goto gscripts then choose one of the ones that you saved.Repeat this but choose the other one that you created.

One thing I have noticed about this is that it's more than likely best to turn the WiFi off when switching between the 2 types of networks. When switching I also noticed that sometimes it takes a little longer for it to connect to the networks.:D

Hope this works for everyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] apr24991:
I'm not having any luck with this fix. I am using a Windows Mobile Phone Touch Pro 2 that has WIFI router installed on it. I noticed that you are using a 13 digit key "0123456789012" where as the windows mobile phone only allows for a 10 digit key with the default of "1234567890". I modified the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc to have just the "1234567890" key, but when I choose the adhoc script on the tablet, the wifi (androidtether connection) says obtaining ip address, and then eventually says unable to obtain IP. Is there a way to set a static IP in the WPA supplicant, or force this connection to work? Also I notices that network type is set to auto. My phone uses WEP. I wonder if this is the problem??? Is there a way to force the network type in whe wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc to have a network type of WEP.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated!!!

By the way, I can tether just fine from any Windows laptop to my phone, so I know the phone is not the problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] havic:
Not sure how much difference it will be for a windows mobile phone compared to android so it might have issues. I had this same issue before getting the

HydTech's adhoc wifi installed on my phone not sure what it does but was told to use it. I can kill it and still get it to connect.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clmlo:
Hi, this directory "/data/misc/wifi/" is on your SD card right?

I tryed on my MID7015.

It kept saying: stderr: /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.

adhoc: No such file or directory
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] havic:
no this is a directory on the system.

the directory that needs to be on the sdcard is the gscript.

from the cmd prompt you have to go to the sdk

example === C:\android\android-sdk-windows\tools

then type

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc /data/misc/wifi

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.normal /data/misc/wifi

This should fix the issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clmlo:
Sorry, I am new to this.. I just got my Coby today... How do you go to command pompt? I try to just drop the file on system using the explorer to /data/ and say I don't have enough permission.

You know.. I gave up! After screwing around for hours... I lost my wifi on my pad. It say can not scan for wifi...

I was so freaked out! Finally I hold the Power button and the Home Button on power up. Then hit "Reset and erase all users data". I was managed to get my WiFi back....

Screw it! I can't freaking believe they don't have Ad-Hoc on android! I didn't know until I brought this thing!

I believe Android 2.2 support it? When or will we ever going to get this??? Or someone out there can made an application for this...... it will made our life easier!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] havic:
Ok so you did install Gscript and have both the adhoc.sh and normal.sh in the gscripts folder on the sdcard correct? If so then in the program gscripts

you added the scripts into there I am guessing. If this is the case then

You can do the shortcuts like I explained or you can open the gscript program and click either adhoc or normal. Also did you try it with the hydtech adhoc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rafyperez:
I can not find the HydTech's adhoc wifi in the market Place. I guess without that one the tiwlan.ini is going to be missing. Am I right? I just want ot tether from my IPHONE 3Gs to the COBY KYROS. Do I need the TIWLAN.INI ?

Try Root Explorer. It will show folders that other apps will not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
OK...this was a great learning experience, but without payoff :confused:

I rooted my device...gave gscript lite to run as su...copied the conf, adhoc and normal files to the /system/data/misc/wifi folder using adb push commands...modified the adhoc and normal files using droid explorer...and lost ability to connect to any wireless network :mad:

deleted the wpa_supplicant.conf file using adb shell and reconfigured my wireless router :rolleyes:

thought..hmmm...maybe if i use the .conf file droid automagically created it will all work...bump bump bum...DOH! :eek:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mobius570:
Anyone having an issue with Droid Explorer not seeing your tablet? I even followed the steps Droid Explorer provides in the youtube video.

Edit* I was able to copy the files using Root Explorer, but now when clicking Load File in gscript it doesn't list any .sh files.

Edit #2* Okay, I didn't put the .sh files in the gscript folder that is why they didn't show up.

Edit #3* I think I'm just an idiot, but after everything is installed and now I try to turn on wi-fi, it turns on for a split second, then turns itself off.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
Just wanted to let everyone know I got this working with WMWifiRouter. It appears my Media Net connection on the Kaiser was configured to use a proxy server (wish I had written down what was cause now its gone). Anyway...there is a setting in WMWifiRouter to enable proxy use. Checked that guy and off I went. Now I've cleared the proxy settings in both the Media Net configuration and the WMWifiRouter. It works...but drains the battery bad :rolleyes: Anyone know how to tether a droid 2.2 tablet to a wm6.1 Kaiser on ATT network using a usb cable or bluetooth dun?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluedeer:
I've been using WmWiFiRouter, though I have a Touch Pro 2. I can't get this working at all. If I try connecting without modifications, it won't connect to IBSS (ad-hoc) connections. If I use the scripts above, it turns Wifi on, then right back off again, or errors in scanning. What did you do differently? Are you using a Coby MID7015?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
I am using a Witstech A81E running Android Froyo 2.2. Sorry if I've posted in the wrong forum :o

But I did use the scripts attached in the zip file in the original post to get mine working. You have to make sure to change the SSID to match your WMWifiRouter SSID. For testing, use the default "WMWifiRouter". Here is what my wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc file looks like

I also had to enable using a proxy in the WMWifiRouter configuration. You have to start up the 3G -> Wifi router first. Then select Options -> Configuration -> Advanced. Then select Profiles -> DNS -> Enable Proxy and set the Enable Domain Name Resolution Proxy setting to Enable.

That's what worked for me :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluedeer:
Hmm. When I change the script, it just turns the wifi on and then off again and I get a 'scan error'.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brs954:
I have a really dumb question...

is the Hydtech wifi app suppose to go on the tablet or the android phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
It looks like that app needs to be run on the tablet so it will see the adhoc network on your android phone. It modifies the tiwlan.ini file so it needs root access. I modified this file manually to get my tablet connected to an adhoc network.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brs954:
Here's the funny thing... I don't see a tiwlan.ini file??? I went into /system/etc/wifi and I don't see the ini file... :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
Is your tablet rooted? Mine had the file there for me to modify. From looking at the website for the app it may create the file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brs954:
The tablet is rooted... I have not installed the hydtech app yet though. stardawg, what did you do to get the.ini file???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stardawg:
it was a long hard road for me, and i'm not exactly sure. I may have downloaded it and pushed to the tablet using adb. I'm pretty sure it was already there because I have a backup. Anyhoo...mine is now attached along with the original (-Copy). I had to rename the extension to .txt to upload them.

I would like to know this too if anyone knows. I am able to see the ad hoc network now but the Kyros will not connect to it. It says obtaining IP address and then eventually unsuccessful. Then it will not see the droid again until I reboot. Anyone know what my issue could be?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rockness77:
Worked great! I used Root Explorer to add files to the wifi folder and WiFi Tether to connect.

You do need to turn off wifi when switching between the two. I also noticed when switching back to normal wifi I have to put in my ssid again. Not a big problem, just happy I was able to tether.

Thanks alot! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Strangely I got mine to work. I moved all the files using root explorer, couldnt get it to work. Removed all the files and put in back to stock, including deleting the gscript files, the only thing remaning is the Hydtec Adhoc wifi, and now it works, go figure. Just have to turn wifi off and on to get connection as mentioned above.

Okay I moved the files with the root explorer and it attempts to connect to the network. It stays at obtaining address but then says unsuccessful. How would i fix that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brs954:
I figured out my hang up. I was messing with the tiwlan.ini file myself and I put it in the /system/etc/wifi folder and then I bought the hydtech app and installed it and ran it. It must have found the tiwlan.ini file and thought that it was functioning properly and did not do anything. I deleted the ini file and reran that hydtech app and then everything is working now. est 1.99 I have spent in a long time. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brs954:
Did you run the scripts in gscript before you try connecting to the adhoc wireless?
