[Droid 2 General] anothadave:
well im not having much luck with this new phone.lol. for some reason i cant get any contacts to appear... i can import them to the phone, they even sync with my google account and i can see them on my computer. but if i click on contacts on the phone theres nothing there. ive tried importing them as a csv, vcard and using sprite migrate.. they say theyve imported but nothing shows. wierd thing is my messages come up with the correct names just nothing in the contacts app.
[Droid 2 General] anothadave:
well for anyone who gets a similar problem i finally fixed it by logging into my google account on a pc. moved the contacts into "my contacts" then wiped my phone back to standard, when i signed into my google account it then synced the contacts to my phone..

The compass is about 10' to 15' out on my phone - i normally wouldn't care that much except the built in locations app uses the facing direction instead of the travel direction... so it looks like you are driving down a road diagonally.

Any ideas of how i can re-calibrate the compass - or make locations use the direction of travel instead of the compass?

Thanks

Kris
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
Maybe it is a magnetic compass, and hence points to the magnetic north? :)

BTW I have the same with mine. Mine is about -15' out.

The GPS Status app has something to 'calibrate' with, but the results stayed the same IMO.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i00:
Well I think that really su* ... y can't it just use the direction of travel like other software - or have the option :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadeInRu:
I know man, have the same issue. I have proper compass 'analog' and a digital one and the one on hd is a joke. Tried everything, it's still off. Most likely it's software issue here. Not sure though, but looks like it. Mine is -20 and less or more useless.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrizz:
Mines off about that too.

When using the one in my Hero, I could wave my hand in a infinity symbol shape (or figure 8 on it's side) out in front of me for a few seconds, that would get it fairly accurate for a little while. Haven't tried it on the DHD, but it might work?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Booblex:
I have exactly the same issue. Annoyingly it is also 10 to 50 meters off on my location......

HTC Hub also shows me 20 meters off of my location.......

Anyone have a solution let me know!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadeInRu:
Good i managed to calibrate it to be fairly accurate.

There is still a minor distortion which i assume is caused by battery but it's an improvement never the less.

Basically go to maps. Then hold your phone by pointing your screen towards the sky and start making infinity symbol in the air. In such way like if you were trying to paint it on the wall in front of you. Do it for about 30 sec, then it should show you a fairly accurate readings.

Hope it helps, worked for me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Booblex:
Thanks Madeinru........ it helps a bit but hasn't completely fixed it.

Probably will go back to the shops and exchange it - its still annoying the hell out if me :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiel54:
MadeIRu, could you describe your method in a lilttle more detail. I thought you had to hace your device towards the sky and make a movement like drawing an 8 horizontally al the time the device facing the sky. Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadeInRu:
Hello there :)

What i did is:

Switch on any compass app or maps.

Point your device with your screen towards the sky, same way when it basically lies on the table.

Then start making 'infinity' like sign in the air while your screen points at the sky all the time.

Just like you wanting to paint an 'infinity' sign on the wall.

Just like the guy in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOkErjFKiD8&feature=related

But i was pointing my screen upwards all the time, so my phone stayed in the same position at all times.

Do it for about 30 sec or so.

Regards.

I am new android & X10 user and i have some questions.

Why everybody wants sony ericsson to release 2.2 and 2.3 versions of android?

I mean, why not everybody just install the new android version?there are so many threads explaining how.

is this, because there is not timescape and mediascape application on android and there are bugs in x10?

personally i dont update cause i dont like android's default theme and sometime there will be multi-touch update.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
it's because it's more involved than just installing a new android upgrade.

modules need to be written to match the kernel to the hardware, software testing needs to be done, etc.

if it were as simple as just installing android 2.3 on any device, then yeah, we'd have no problems. however, it's a lot easier to wait for the manufacturer to slip out a test release/beta, then the devs start from there. basically, let SE do the hard work and the devs here will improve what SE comes up with into what we (users) want.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatemk:
I'm trying to use internet passthrough at work. The problem is that we have a proxy that requires NTLM authentication. So I tried setting up an intermediate proxy on my windows xp machine, then I setup DHD to use the intermidate proxy (using Proxy Settings from the market).

This only works with the browser as it has built in support for communicating with proxy servers. other application don't work.

I'm wondering if any of the following is possible:

1- setup proxy in dhd in a way that is invisible to most applications and don't have to rely of application support for using a proxy server.

2- use some program/setting on my computer that manages connections with the proxy server in a way that is invisible to HTC Sync and DHD

i tried with no luck with widecap to proxify the process htcnat.exe adb.exe and another 2 but it's a really overwhelming configuration, furthermore the service in windows is run by the SYSTEM user and it should be changed to the user running widecap to have it trying recognizing it.

unfortunately even with all configured i think in the correct way i was not able to use the proxy, widecap was still refusing to proxify internet pass trhough.

there is another product called freecap on which is based widecap but i still havn't tried it (and the next week i will be on holidays so i won't try it soon ^^' )

they occupy that space nicely

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Heres a modded version. Changed the package name from com.android.wallpaper to com.android.wallpap23

After you install this

you will see some doubles

, but the new Nexus one will also be there :)

Signed so you can install as it as a normal /data/app apk. (no root) :)

Still needs froyo/2.2/sdk8, didnt change that.

Note: Would have removed the older live wallpapers and named it differently if apktool worked on it...maybe later.

To uninstall

:

either: adb remove com.android.wallpap23

or: try to uninstall "Android Live Wallpapers" (Settings->Apps->...), only the user-app can be removed the default system app will fail to uninstall :)

I have used that kernel and the battery tweak together and didn't notice a problem. But that was on MY phone. I can't speak for anyone else's experience. If there was a problem somewhere, I just didn't happen to notice it. If my fingers go idle for too long, I flash things just to stay busy. I don't stay with one particular combo/build for too long. I am running Myn's 2.2 with Net's 4.2 havs less smartass combo and love it. Battery life is awesome. Again, my phone likes this build. Yours may be different. Experiment and see what works best for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I like the perspective you put that in. Right now (from what I have tried) the king#11 has been the most efficient. It's 'zippy' and decent on battery life. I was still looking to achieve the 1 day xxx hours. Most I've ever managed was 20 hours on practically no use with wifi on. I'm having an issue connecting to wifi now. It had nothing to do with roms or kernels but the connection will time out but it will still be connected with excellent. I have no WEP or WPA so I cannot find the problem.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macgyverfc:
For the WiFi issue, try a hard reboot on the router. I always had problems with a linksys router I had. Same signs you are getting. A factory reset always fixed the issue. Finally bought a new router. As for the full days use of the phone, check the update intervals of your apps. Gmail, regular mail, Facebook, etc. If they are constantly polling one an hour, it will eat up more battery. Also, signal strength affects batt life. At work, I have a low signal, always switching between Sprint and Verizon towers. If I flash verizon's prl, my battery holds up longer. If you are running overclock software, this will also take a toll on battery. Did you bump charge your battery? Some say it works others don't. It worked for me. I don't use HTC's charger either. I use the charger from my hackedberry. Haha. Again, some say HTC's charger is garbage. To each their own.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I haven't used that charger since the first week I got it. I used my samsung rant charger. It is longer and more effective. I don't charge my phone a lot. I just charge my extra or dead batteries. I leave them on a little longer because it turns blue when it reaches 1500 mAH and they are 1800 mAH batteries. I have four now (3 1800s and one stock). I haven't really tried battery calibration because I don't charge the phone much but maybe it will help. I deleted kik and ping chat in efforts to improve. PowerAMP always runs though and I don't really like that. So you really think it is the rouder not the EVO?

Swyped from my HTC EVO 4G via xda app
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macgyverfc:
