Unable to add new number to existing contact

I think I found a bug, or it might just be me doing something wrong, though I am sure I am doing it right.

I am trying to add another number to existing google contact on my Nexus S.

I long press on a number in my call log. select 'add to contacts'. Find my contact in my phone book, click on it. Then press Done and it saves without the number I was trying to add.

I know I can do it the stone age way by writing on a piece of paper and then adding it to the contact, but where is the fun in that?

Am I doing something wrong, or is it stock gingerbread android playing up?

As far as I remember I never tried adding a number like that on this phone. Tried it on HTC Desire, worked like a charm.

P.S. I have a set of screenshots to show what I am talking about, but forum does not let me post external links.

Update:

It looks like I am unable to add numbers to the google contacts which are joined with that contact's facebook account. I was able to add a number from the call log to another contact which was not linked to any facebook account.

Really ticks me off with those facebook shenanigans.

The backspace key often does not work

As i have used NS for more than a month, one day i found that nothing happen when touch the backspace key as before. Even i reboot the phone several times, it remained the same. But the next day it works! OMG, so strange~

Can any guy give some advice to deal with that? thx.

yesterday the bluetooth didn´t want to work... I have to reboot and now is all right...odd
[Nexus S General] yellathcir:
My wife's nexus s did a semi wipe after a reboot the other day, all the apps she downloaded where gone, but the icons where still there and her home screen was the way she left it. I've owned several android devices and can't say that I've seen that happen before, it was quite frustrating for her. I hope 2.3.3 will make this the phone we all hoped it would be.
[Nexus S General] ozzy78:
@ yellathcir....

Mine did that a while back, it only lost the apps that were moved to USB storage though. Think it was because I didn't disconnect properly when unplugging it from my laptop, hasn't happened since anyway...

I read all 9 pages of Bugs before posting this -

only one comment that when charging the screen can act as random making use pretty impossible whilst charging (which I seem to need to do lots).

Anyone else noticed this ?

[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Seems to be fixed in 2.3.3.
[Nexus S General] jeffdgr8:
A couple bugs that haven't been mentioned: maps battery use very high. Always 10%+, usually 30%+. Most often listed second only to display. It's been a problem since I got my NS, through 2.3.3 and the latest version of maps. The battery use is high whether or not I've even opened maps at all. I get good battery life on the NS, generally a full day of moderate use. But I could be getting a lot better if maps didn't leach the battery as it is.

Also, without a track ball/pad, it is nice to have the new touch cursor movement feature in gingerbread. But I've often encountered problems with the cursor not aligning to the arrow. It's like the coordinates are out of sync. The arrow will be pointing towards the left of the screen, but the cursor will be further to the right. As you move the arrow, the cursor moves proportionally, but not in alignment. More often than not this occurs in the browser. The browser address bar is especially uncooperative. If a URL is longer than can be displayed on the screen, it is very difficult to edit. The cursor will move off the right edge of the field, but the screen will not scroll the text over so that you can see what you are editing.

The other bugs that have been mentioned that I still encounter regularly on 2.3.3 are the "insufficient storage available" error when updating apps (second or third attempt usually works). I have the Russian keyboard language selected along with English. Often hitting the numbers/symbols key will swap languages. This should only happen when sliding the space bar. On a side not, I really wish they'd make a Russian dictionary available for the keyboard like most other languages have! I think those are the biggest issues I've had with the OS. Overall I love my NS though.
[Nexus S General] evlevl:
Absolutely agree with the first author: multi-language input support in android is just ridiculous. Living in French speaking Switzerland, I need (at least) Swiss-French layout (I don't need phone localization, just layout). Is it difficult, especially considering that French dictionary is there? It is impossible! There are English (UK/US), French (horrible AZERTY), German, and Spanish layouts to choose from. And, basically, you can't to the default keyboard add any other layout at all by no means, without rooting, etc. I like look and feel of the default keyboard. But to enable ch_FR layout on my native Gingerbread device I should download from these forums hacked version of the my native keyboard. Isn't it strange? :D

In the same time it is incredibly simple on iphone: you have layouts and you have dictionaries and they are not linked at all.
[Nexus S General] jeffdgr8:
OK, so I've also encountered the arrow and cursor being off and having them not be proportional. So if I select the text field on the left side, the cursor lines up. But as I move the arrow to the right, the cursor moves quicker than the arrow and gets further and further from the arrow the more I move it to the right. So this problem seems to be less of a coordinate issue (as experienced before) as much as an issue with the font metric used to keep the arrow and cursor in sync. Annoying to say the least. Again, this was in a text field in the browser.

Call log incorrectly labels "yesterday," "2 days ago," etc.

I can't believe this bug report hasn't received more stars: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10590. I noticed this issue back in 1.5 and it continues to be unaddressed now as of 2.3.3. Really simple bug fix too. Please star the issue if you agree!

The current algorithm is something like (time < 24 hours ago) ? (display x hours ago) : (time < 48 hours ago) ? (display yesterday) : (time < 72 hours ago) ? (display 2 days ago) ... Problem is, that's not how we keep track of time!

Yesterday is anything that occurred before the last 12:00am and after the 12:00am before it. 2 days ago is anything that occurred before that 12:00am and after the one before it ... Not hard to implement in code at all.

If you installed this either through recovery, or via root explorer and it wont stick, and you have the latest "new" market installed. Go to settings/applications/manage applications/all and find market, click it and choose uninstall updates.

After that, it should revert to this blue themed market

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
How do you replace the green icon with the blue one?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Annex1:
It should automatically change to the blue icon... if not, reset your home screen. See if that works. (launcherpro has a reset option)very handy I might add.

If not try pushing it to the phone again.

Hope that helps

I get 6megs down here in Miami.

Constant speed is between 4-5 Mbps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bredemey:
I've been getting 2-3 Mbps tops in Boston, a supposed HSPA+ city, though I haven't tried all over town or in Cambridge. But I was in Chicago last week and topped 7 Mbps in one location. So I just think it varies widely with exact location. Probably all it takes to call a city HSPA+ is a few cell towers with peak theoretical speeds of 14 or 21 Mbps or whatever.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweak89:
Well, seems it' still not quite up to snuff in Houston. Best I've been able to get is 3.94 Mbps down (I saw that kind of speed on my 3g Vibrant).

After some phone calls and other investigations, I am thinking that their "4g" network isn't as all encompassing as the coverage map shows.

Accessing the testing menu, I can see that I am on either UMTS or HSDPA network, both of which are 3g (according to Tmo tech support).

So, just to make sure my phone wasn't the problem (was already refreshed on the network a couple of time by tech support and even did a master reset) I went down to a Tmo store that was shown to be in 4G coverage area and checked out a MT4G and G2. Neither of them showed connection to HSPA ot HSPA+.

So, dissappointing for sure, but I guess the phone was free (replaced my Vibrant) I can't complain.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoneyjonez:
You can call tech care with your speed test results and we submit a ticket to have engineers check it out. It's at least worth a try.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweak89:
Contacted tech support this morning and they are supposed to check out the problem in a wide area.

My wife gets her MT4G Wednesday, so I will have another phone to go by. Obviously if hers sees the HSPA/HSPA+ network and mine doesn't I'll know it's my phone or a setting of some sort within.

I guess it just bugs me since the MYT4G and G2 I checked out also display 3g network connectivity in what is supposed to be 4g coverage area.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rambo6:
I'm in Salt Lake City where the coverage map shows 4g. I have gotten 3 to 4 Mbps speeds before 5 am. However, during the day, I'm getting around 2 mbps or less. My big problem is the coverage. When it drops from H to E, the browsing locks up. It:s like I get 3/4G or nothing. Has anyone else experienced this?

My AT&T Captivate runs almost as fast on 3G networks during the day, but it even gets just under 200 kbps on E. What gives? One of my employees has the MT4G also and find that E doesn't work either.

I went to a Tmo store and asked where the closest 4g tower is located.. He told me.. I was within 30 feet of it and only pulled like 1.3.. kind of disappointing..

I live in orlando.. and we are covered by 4g.. so they say..

at my house we only get Edge or G .. not even 3 g.. it is horrible..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk337sk337:
Just so you know just BC the tower is within 30 feet doesn't mean its faster. Actually it will probably be slower; think of the tower as just the placeholder the signal is focused outward and doesn't beam down beside it BC usually nothing is right under it. When I had Verizon there was a tower on my roof at my apt but I had no signal directly below.

Just installed the Desire HD NAND rom and i've only got 20 megs left, even after moving as many apps to the SD. I can't download anything else anymore.

I tried downloading Google Maps, Kindle etc but it fails and gives an insufficient storage error.

Is there any way we can use the SD to increase the internal storage so the phone doesn't keep giving these errors?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I made a post in the NAND vs RAM thread about gaining root access and then installing DarkTremor's a2sd.

This is possibly a viable option, but really I don't know if it's do-able.

I haven't downloaded and picked apart any of the NAND ROMs to see how they're put together yet.

But as just a guess, I would imagine it would work, you'd just need to create an ext2 partition on your sd card, and then find a way to install DT's a2sd. The only form I've seen it in is as an update.zip, and I don't think these ROMs will support clockwork-type recovery, or maybe any recovery for that matter. It may be possible for a2sd to be cooked right into future ROMs though.

I'd download a ROM and check it out, but it'd probably be more efficient to just ask somebody who's already cooking them what they think of it

Anyway, it depends on the ROM you're on. A lot of ROM's include overclocked kernel, but if they don't you can always flash a kernel like SetiroN's with Odin. Go check out the thread; just make sure the overclocked kernel you're using is compatible with your ROM!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yeah sorry i didn't think that he might not get that i was joking.

to be actually helpful i will assume that since you are asking the question you probably have the stock rom.

a kernel for that can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762171&highlight=unhelpful+kernel

you will need root and clockworkmod recovery (comes with rom manager)

what i will suggest is that you flash a 2.2 (froyo) rom as it gives a greater speed increase than overclocking alone.

i recommend this rom http://www.ponack.net/designgears/release/Perception-Build-9.5.zip

because it is based on a phone with the same layout and wont have useless features like buttons for cameras that dont exist ect... has hsdpa and hsupa, and is stable with normal battery life.

put the file on the internal sd card. from your pc it should show as a 14gb drive.

to flash this you you will need root as well as clockworkmod recovery

to get root follow this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725555&highlight=click+root

when you have root run rom manager, it may ask you to allow root permissions to rom manager. allow it.

choose "flash clockwork mod recovery" > "captivate i897"

choose "install rom from sd card"

find the file called "Perception-Build-9.5.zip" or other rom of your choice and select it. tick the "backup existing rom" check box.

if it asks you for superuser or root permissions again then allow it.

phone will reboot, if it reboots into recovery with blue text select "reinstall packages"

it should be in recovery with green text and may start to backup the current rom. this will take a while, if it runs backup auto matically then it should also flash trhe rom when it is done. if it does not backup the current rom automatically then scroll down to "backup and restore" select it then select "backup"

after the backup scroll down to "install .zip from sdcard"> choose .zip > Perception-Build-9.5.zip

once complete it will boot up. the first boot will take some time. it may talk in a robot voice.

now for the kernel. i prefer this one: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=473890&d=1293414396

flash it with rom manager/clockworkmod recovery

but this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828052 has more options, read the thread, it can be complicated.

use this app to set clock speeds. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467132&d=1292636562
