I've searched through previous threads and couldn't find an answer so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Note that I'm on my 2nd Droid X. The screen on the first one died, but it too experienced this issue.

The issue I am having is with syncing contact pictures onto the phone. If I add them manually, the picture quality is fine. Note that I am using OS X to sync my contacts from Address Book with Missing Sync. The only problem is that as soon as I sync my contacts to Google, the picture quality goes to hell. I have disabled automatic contact sync and unlinked my Address Book from my Google account, but I'm just wondering if there is a workaround for this. It's not a big deal to sync everything manually, but being able link everything automatically with my Google account in case of a catastrophic simultaneous breakdown of my computer and my phone would be nice. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Not sure if this helps any, but my phone is rooted and running on stock Froyo 2.2.340.
[Droid X General] dwray:
No one have any issues with this?
[Droid X General] zanix:
I'm sure everyone does but just accepts that Google just reduces the image quality when it's synced to their servers
[Droid X General] dwray:
Thanks for the reply. I was just being optimistic hoping there was a way to shut my iPhone friends up when they see crappy pictures show up in a call.
[Droid X General] hullie10:
Are you on facebook? I use the app syncmypix to put the profile pictures of my contacts that are my friends on facebook cuz it seems launcherpro has trouble updating the pics... I know there is an option to use high quality pics... I don't know if that would solve your problem
[Droid X General] dwray:
Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either since as soon as the pictures are synced with Google, it's back to the low quality versions. The weird thing is my wife's Incredible syncs automatically with her Google contacts, and everything looks great so I'm not sure if the problem is with Motorola or just the way Google interacts with the Droid X.
[Droid X General] zanix:
The Incredible might be storing local copies of the hi-res images
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErebusRaze:
Hey y'all...

I'm running the Assonance 5.2 Rom on my Captivate, and was wondering if I would have to alter the framework in order to remove the green coloring of the ADW launcher, or is there some easier way (without having to run separate home screens)?

I do like the Gingerbread theme, but there aren't a lot of wallpapers that mesh well with the green launcher, so I'm trying to get rid of it.

Also, what themes work with the Assonance 5.2 Rom? No need for a long list. Just anything off of the top of your head is fine.

Thanks ahead of time.

EDIT: Nevermind. I caved and installed ADW EX and enjoying a beastly new theme. Thanks anyway.

As you can see from the screenshot, I have white text when I press the menu button(windows button). This happens on all apps when I press the menu button. This problem came about when I tried to mess around with some status bar themes and I'm clueless as to how to get the black text back. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For any info on the build I'm running, check my sign.

EDIT: Also wouldn't mind if there was a way to turn the menu background from white to black.

Gingerbread is the theme for Android interface Sense. Basically the icons have changed the bar and added some details of the new interface of Android 2.3

Warning:

The theme has been tested on Desire HD Rom Revolution HD 2.0.2, theoretically it should work on all terminals as the procedure will go 'to replace only the folder framework. Let me remind you also that the procedure is irreversible, that 'you can not return to the previous theme unless it riflashate ROM.

Hi,

I was wondering all new os's like wp7, Samsung bada and iPhone soon honeycomb these all have the rotation animation.

IPhone has had it from day one, can someone out there either port it or make the xml files please.

I know honeycomb will bring this but that's February I seen the Andy rubin video with honeycomb.

So please can someone help me and other people who want this ! Android should of had this since day 1 but...
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
Anyone ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jobiza:
Yeah, i would want the 2.3 screen off animation too, but seems like they will only come by official firmwares.
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
I know I have seen q video of android 1.5 and the animations there are amazing it has rotation animation :-\
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jobiza:
There must be something to do with the thingy they changed from 1.5-2.1 to animation files to read-only. Well, at least spare parts say that fancy rotation animation can only be used on 1.5
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheGhost1233:
You can add animations to Sense rom's by using the UOT Kitchen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
Well if there is still a 1.5 rom maybe we can get the animation from the framework res ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] faddys123:
Does anyone know were I can get a 1.5 ROM?
[Desire Themes and Apps] TheGhost1233:
You won't find a Desire rom with 1.5, but what is wrong with the animations form the UOT Kitchen?
[Desire Themes and Apps] K900:

Hi guys i dont know if its just me but does your back capacitive touch button have bad response? sometimes i have to hit it 2-3 times before it responds. every other capacitive touch button like home menu and search work very well with just one touch. Do i have a bad one?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amin Sabet:
Mine used to have a similar issue with the home button, but I ignored it, and it seems to have gone away. I doubt you have a bad button.

I thought briefly of exchanging mine but decided against it because in doing so, I'd increase the chance of actually getting a bad unit (as opposed to a normal one with the usual occasional glitches that cause doubt). I figured that if it didn't go away, I'd be covered by the warranty. Glad I went that route!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theklaw:
I downloaded the nero v3 onto my mac. it didnt download as a .zip it downloaded as a folder. I compresed the file and copied it to my vibrant. I went into ROM manager and reboot to recovery. I tried to install nere_v3_voodoo.zip and my phone froze while installing. What did I do wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
I have a mac too, so I think I can help. Macs automatically unzip downloads, but you can keep it from doing that by right clicking the download link and selecting "download linked file." Then it stays zipped.

That should fix your issues. Re-compressing the folder with a mac adds some hidden files I think, which is probably why you ran into problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrodxbox360repair:
this kept happening to me on my macbook pro. Whenever I compressed it back into a zip, then transferred it to my phone, whenever I tried to flash it i would never get passed installing update, status bar never moved. The solution is easy, download the roms directly to your phone through the xda app or online. Whenever you re compress the package something gets messed up, and it stops at the beginning of the installation.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
This isn't true - You don't have to download roms straight to your phone. If you follow the method I explained above (right click - select "download linked file"), the file stays zipped and will flash just fine.

Nothing gets messed up when you re-zip on a mac. The default compiler is simply is adding a "_MACOSX" folder to the zipped package, as well as hidden files pertinent to macs' file system management. If you need your mac to repackage, just use a 3rd party program and not the mac's default and it'll work fine. I use "Compress" when creating themes for my phone and have no problems.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I don't recall anyone ever mentioning "Command" files disappearing (which is what happens to me), but when burning ROMs you need to always make sure your "Recovery" folder in /sdcard has the "Command" file in it.

I'm not sure why, but when I flash files it seems like the " Command" file always disappears. Maybe one of the gurus can tell us why.

But if the flash doesn't work, then the second time you try there is no "Command" file there to guide the install and so nothing happens!!!!

I keep the stuff I am installing in a "Downloads" (not download) directory until I install it and then I copy it over to /sdcard. So if I get a bad or no flash, I just re-copy the good "Recovery" file over and try again.

Hope this helps.

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I think you're wrong. Recovery has nothing to with anything except ROMs and the development environment.

Guys! I just like to ask if anyone know a working proxy setting app for Archos 101. Just got my archos but unable to use my internet in the office since we are using proxy server in our internet.

Hope anyone ca help me out. Thaks in advance!
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
Anyone? I really need to use proxy...
[Gen8 General] hamzer11:
I know I have seen the option I am just exploring to see if I can figure it out. As far as I can tell you have to get an app for it.
[Gen8 General] jones23:
android doesn't support wifi proxies on its own (what a shame)!

Only possible solution would be this app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766569 . But for that you need root & iptables support.

Both isn't available for the 101. Even with the SDE version (the one you loose guarantee with) i believe there is no iptables support.

I tried it with the old 2.1 firmware and zroot and it said "iptables missing"!

only thing left is to use opera mini which finds the proxy automatically (or opera mobile, where you can manually insert a proxy, type "opera:config" in the address bar.
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
Oh... hope archos can address this proxy issue. I believe Galaxy S is capable in setting a proxy in their wireless connection. Both A101IT and Galaxy S use froyo right?

If anyone know a working proxy app please share it with us. That. Would really be a great help.

Thank again!
[Gen8 General] d31b0y:
IPTables support is planned for a future release of $aur0n's rooted android release.

See here for more info.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
There is a Proxy Menu on Android.

Use "Any Cut" from the market and create a shortcut to that function.
[Gen8 General] jones23:
did you get that successfully working ?

i know its generally possible to have wifi proxies on android (hence the possible shortcut - e.g. with samsung devices), but you need to have kernels that support that function and i don't know if the archos does.
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
i have already tried the "Anycut" method but it doesn't work. I've successfully installed Firefox with proxy add ons. its working but the problem is it often unresponsive. Sometimes i'm forced to reboot my archos.

Hope gingerbread or honeycomb have the proxy supports when it becomes available to A101IT.
[Gen8 General] ecoach:
Hi

i have mailed Archos Support with this question and their short answer was:

The device does not support this.

Great!! :-(

Ray
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
Well based on my research. Android as of today does not really have proxy support. But it can be enabled if we root our system. Hopefully someone can do a full root of the archos 101IT.

Maybe someone already did? can u share it with us...
[Gen8 General] timehunter:
There is an app in the Android Market called "Proxy Settings" that may help. I have not taken a close look at it or tried to configure it yet, so I honestly don't know for sure, but it is worth a try.
[Gen8 General] KOCTA:
It

1) Has a fonts problem, all inscriptions are tiny. It seems the developer used fixed font size that is normally viewed on the phone but can't be scaled ant totally unreadable on 10".

2) Doesn't help anyway.
[Gen8 General] jones23:
read people !!!

even rooted, the 101 is missing the nessecary "ip tables" for the proxy settings tool!!
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
Yes we know that the ip tables are missing in the 101. That is why we need first to fully root the device then find a way to put in the ip table.

Other android device have it so it means it can be also done with our 101.

Things like this is why we have forums. For us to exchange ideas so we can help each other right?

Lets help each other shall we??? Not everyone here is an expert thats why we ask questions...
[Gen8 General] timehunter:
Well you don't have to be an ass about it.

I did state that I had not tested it. I was merely offering a potential option to try, not one I guaranteed would work.

Archos has delivered a firmware update to 2.1.08 on Feb 16 2011.

It brings a new option "WLAN Proxy Settings". You can enter a proxy-host/IP and port, and check the "Enabled" checkbox.

Sadly it does not work for me, the checkbox is disabled when I select the option again to verify.

Goto Archos web site, choose support/downloads, then select your device and download the update file (82 MB).

Hello, after installed Locations from Programs in my DHD my sdcard died, not instant but after a while maybe 12 hours. I have 1.72.405 update.. It was new years night so i dont remember to much :confused:

But then it just started to say: "No sd card mounted" or something.

Then i tried to put it in another phone the card is dead there to.

Then in a computer using an adapter, no success there either.

So is my card 100% dead or is it any chance of getting my data back, i was stupid and didn't have backup, to late now but you learn of ur misstakes.

Sry for wall of text, this is Short version

sdcard died a few hours after installing locations

no device founds it

help....
[Desire HD Accessories] chapperz:
Loads of problems with this at the moment, everyones SD cards seem to be slowly dying since the recent update. The SD card isn't recognised in any other phone/computer as you say so the likelyhood of getting anything off it is slim.

Someone here has apparently spoken to HTC about it who have confirmed there is an issue with the new update which affects the unmounting of the SD card. The only thing they recomend is sending it back to HTC who will flash the phone back to the previous version.

I spoke to HTC myself the other day and managed to get them to send me another SD card - might be worth doing that. A factory reset doesn't work by the way, complete waste of time.

HTC phone number for UK is 0845 8900079 or 01279 206906 (same line, just not premium rate).

Take a look at these threads for people with same problem...

[Desire HD Accessories] nfskillen:
So if i buy a new card and havent send my phone to htc for them to flash the phone to the update before 1.72.405 the new card will brake?

I did go to the place i bougt the phone and they did say that the warranty didnt cover attachments so if i want a new card i need to send the phone and the card to repair, and the company that handels repair for most big electronic stores in sweden is the worst in the world.

How fast is htc at downflashing the phone?

I live in sweden if it has anything to do with how fast they are..
[Desire HD Accessories] chapperz:
I've just replaced the SD card myself and havent had any further problems, everything has been fine since. No one else seems to have had any further problems either after replacing the card. I wouldn't bother sending the phone to be repaired, as I'm pretty sure it's just the SD card corrupted by the recent update somehow, not the actual phone.

In short, just get a new SD card, off HTC if possible. The number for customer services can be found here... htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx

My card has just gone down as well for no apparent reason - the phone was working fine and then the card stopped being recognised - I hadn't done anything with it.

I'm running 1.72.405.3.

Is there any way to recover the data from the card?

I fitted a 32Gb card over Christmas and that died within hours of being fitted which I thought was down to a faulty card although now I'm wondering if it is down to the HTC update.

So I guess the key questions are:

1. Are HTC going to be releasing a fix for this?

2. I have a new 32Gb card on the way - what are the chances of preventing that from being killed?
[Desire HD Accessories] tobia996:
before sd died. have you have set the phone's wallpaper picking up a photo from your sd ?
[Desire HD Accessories] jvoelcker:
No.

I did take some photos off via pc connection last night connecting to it as a disk drive, but that is it.

I also have some apps installed onto it, but wasn't using any of them when it failed - I just turned the phone on to check email and it was giving an SD error or Insert SD card message - can't remember which and am trying to dig through logs to find out.
