[Droid 2 Global General] zibrah3ed:
My wife's d2g has a very low in call volume. The volume is turned all the way up, but it is still hard to hear. It is all stock and on the latest ota. Any help would be appreciated to get this to a higher volume.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I wouldn't call the call volume on D2G low. I wonder if it is her particular phone - have you tried another Droid2 Global to compare? Maybe it is time to get Verizon support involved to eventally have it exchanged?
[Droid 2 Global General] escapeplan:
I actually had the "big red" send me a second D2G recently. I was experiencing some very low end, bassy, frequencies out of the earpiece speaker. It made it very hard to hear with much clarity having no high end sound to compliment voices. I noticed that having the volume cranked made something in the phone rattle but having the volume down made it hard to understand conversations. The new handset seems to be better with no rattles. I would call tech support at 866-221-4096. They were very helpful.
[Droid 2 Global General] rogerdugans:
I may have experienced the same problem and found mention of a very strange oddity in another online forum turn the phone off, remove the battery and put it back in. Turn the phone back on. Your problem may well be fixed!

I had this low volume problem happen while helping my sister and 10 year old nephew move 3 hours from home. I can tell you I was not happy to find my shiny new phone great for every thing but phone calls....

5 minutes online and a battery "swap" later and all was well.

It hasn't happened to me since.

Is there a homescreen widget for ADW/LauncherPro that will show me the mail from my google email app (the Gapps one)?

I spent a little time looking and couldn't find anything and I have really been missing it since I switched from stock sense to Cyanogen AOSP.

Thanks in advance!

[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
Hi I have a silly question: how do I backup the contacts from my phone onto my pc or internet?

I have acquired a lot of contacts post-getting the phone, and I want to backup my contacts before experimenting with it.

So, how do I backup all the phone numbers on my simcard, pc, or just the internet so i can retrieve it later?

I don't use outlook and stuff, but I don't mind using as long as someone cares to explain how.

thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
Hopefully there is some type of app or way through Zune. Don't have my phone yet but will let you know once I receive it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Contacts should automatically be synced with Windows Live. Go to your windows live account on your pc and look at the contacts there to verify.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
From windows live i can't see any phone numbers of people on my phone :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
How did you add the contacts, just import from SIM?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
In my case it was done by Hotmail sync.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
Yes. I imported from sim. how do i back up to sim now?

Or how do i do hotmail sync to backup?

when i got the phone i did this:

import from sim

add live account

add gmail account

add facebook

link everything as much as i could

but now i have more ppl's numbers, mostly just numbers no other linked accounts. how do i back these up to my simcard/phone/hotmail/whatever ?

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Is your Windows Live (or some other account, like Google) setup to sync contacts?

I can't really say for sure, my process was a bit different than yours. I was waiting for the release date so I had everything already setup in Windows Live :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
Ahhh. I see. Nothing is synced to my windows live.

But even then, all i want to backup is phonebook/phone contacts to my sim. I don't care about anything else. Is it really that hard? Microsoft really thought it would be impossible anyone would ever have any reason to want to transfer their contacts from a one to another phone? wtf
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
The cloud really has been perfect for handling contacts for me. For example, my phone was stolen a month or so ago, if the contacts were just on the sim they'd all be gone now. I had the phone replaced under insurance, added my Windows Live id, and all of my contacts were back within minutes.

I can't really think of a reason not to sync contacts to either Google or Windows Live nowadays. Let them handle your backup :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
Ok, I get that. Sounds really great, but how do I get my phonebook from my windows phone 7 on the cloud now? :/

As in how do you do it in the first place?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You did setup a Windows Live account, right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
im using the windows live account that i usually use for everything else on my phone, yes
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Hrm, not sure what else you'd need to do. You can try long pressing on Windows Live to force sync.

When you add a new contact on your phone, it should have automatically been added to Windows Live (mine gives me a selection between Windows Live and Google).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
when you say windows live, where exactly do you go on your computer/online to find your windows live contacts?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
www.live.com Hotmail -> Contacts
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
crap you WERE RIGHT!!! IT IS ON MY WINDOWS LIVE ACCOUNT >_< it's just the mobile phone contacts are separate!! when i clicked on someone i thought i would see their phone number, but i didnt. it was just seperate entry. haha! then again, i can link them from windows live.

cheers mate :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
No problem, glad that worked out :) Managing contacts on the web is real nice, there are some nice combine/clean up features for linking different accounts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
you can also merge contacts from windows live as you may find duplicates. it may take a bit but i suggest merging your contacts if they're duplicated. these changes will be visible on the phone as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ameel:
yup i saw that!

cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsouthboy:
[Q] [Idea] Overclocked and have the "wake-up and screen stays black" problem?

I'm running CM6.1 and using Pershoot's kernel, and running at 1.5ghz, on-demand. Probably once a day, I have the issue where a call will come in, or I'll press the power button, or I'll slide out the keyboard, and the screen will stay black (though the backlight for the soft-keys does come on).

I noticed that I can appear to interact with the screen still (answer a call by swiping where the answer slider is, even though I can't see it), which indicates that it's simply the backlight not being turned on.

For others that have the same problem, the next time it happens, try pressing your camera button to open the camera application. For me, the screen comes right up as soon as the application opens (the camera application sets your backlight to high while in it). Anyone else?

I'm going to take a look at the wakeup code this afternoon, I have an idea for a _hacky_ fix that can be done.

I also wanted to confirm - do others have the same problem if not overclocked?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnmuffins:
I've been getting that a lot too before (more than once a day for 2 weeks) until I got desperate and wipe/reflashed CM6.1.1 and I haven't seen it in the last 3 days.

I don't know anything so maybe its coincidental. My OC settings are the same as before. The only difference this time was i wipe/factory reset before flashing CM6.1.1.

instead of flashing CM6.1.1 on top of CM6.1 which was what i did 3 weeks ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanCubano:
What does your setcpu profiles look like? Set a profile for when you turn the screen off to set the cpu to 245/245. Then set a new one at xxx/806 conservative (xxx being the freq you desire)

Test it out and let me know how it works out.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsouthboy:
PanCubano,

Others have suspected that it has to do with the CPU being at high speed the split second before you wake the device, and I agree that it's likely the problem.

Unfortunately it's quite hard to prove that the problem has gone away.
[G Tablet General] mobilemodding.info:
Have any one tried to dissemble the GTab or I will be first when I will buy it? LOL

Interesting to see device's guts and me be there are ways to tinker with it, I'm good with microelectronics btw....

PS. Moderator, pls move to General, I think I posted it in wrong forum.
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
If you search the threads I believe there are a couple posts with pics of torn apart GTabs. I think it only took a couple days after the first 1000 produced before the innards were posted, maybe not even that long.

interesting specs

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/05/att...e-4g-with-4-5-inch-super-amoled-plus-display/
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
It comes with the second latest android software with an update available sometime in the next few years. Sound familiar?
[Captivate General] s44:
It's good for Captivate owners that Samsung is producing basically another Galaxy S.
[Captivate General] kingtz:
Specs are great on paper, but given the combination of nonfunctional gps, and samsung and att's refusal to release updates for my captivate, I'll be telling everyone I know to steer away of both att and samsung.
[Captivate General] Krad:
agreed.... Samsung can scratch my ass...

I should be getting my Dell Streak with froyo preloaded any day now. Giving the wife the craptivate.
[Captivate General] a.vandelay:
all these new phones announced. forget about software updates for the old ones.
[Captivate General] nightfox11:
F""""" that!

im getting me the new motorola Atrix 4g with a dual core,1 GB of RAM and a HUGE 1930mAh battery . :D

http://pocketnow.com/android/motorola-atrix-4g-on-att-dual-core-cpu-quarter-hd-resolution
[Captivate General] accinfo:
1.2 ghz ONE core? wow. we want your dual core orion, samsung.

2.2 froyo? 2.3 please. yeah upgradable to 2.3 right? how long this time?

The specs are kinda on par to Samsung Galaxy S2, so it sounds kinda real, but it has horrible specs compare to other dual core phones.
[Captivate General] Radukk:
Display is Super AMOLED Plus(ugh..) which have RGB in one pixel not current pentile.

By itself, this phone can be super awesome and will silence apple fanboys.
[Captivate General] netnerd:
but Samsung phones come with free gift!! Motorola does not! Samsung phones come with free gift, free fake GPS! :eek:
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
htc evo 4g is being released under att with a different name.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I'm trying to decide between the Motorola Atrix and the HTC Inspire. Will likely depend on what gets root'd faster.

This is a weird feeling... A choice of phone to buy? On AT&T?! WHAT?!@@#$
[Captivate General] Xstop:
I don't see a lot of captivate users going back to buy another samsung phone.

Well at least for me, I won't.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
I'm leaning toward The Atrix (Olympus), HTC still not letting go of the kickstand, lol.
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
The only thing I will try to pull is exchange my phone for the htc inspire when it comes out.

any ideas i do have insurance and have been a in good standing customer for 4 years.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I don't mind a kickstand...
[Captivate General] s44:
Why on earth would anyone pick an Evo rehash over the dual-core Moto?

Of course, my bet is that only the Samsung isn't locked down.

Swyped from my Voodoo-powered Fascinate via XDA
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Certainly not a deal breaker, but I just see it first to go (broken) the way I am with phones :(

I hope AT&T starts rolling out these new phones soon.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Waiting for more specs like RAM and internal memory. Hope Samsung will not act miser and cripple it with less RAM.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Back to the OP, sorry..

With those rumored specs, I would say that's not really huge leap on the upgrade path.

Samsung already sold 10 million Galaxy S phones, I don't see any significant changes in there phones until numbers shows they need an upgrade. They are making so much fxxxxxx money on the "Galaxy S" line it's sick! And you think they care about the gps...:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] s44:
Not in processor power, which is what the XDA crowd cares about. But the screen is likely to improve user experience quite a bit for most everyday buyers.

Current SGS hardware/software does GPS correctly, so I'm not sure what the complaining is about that.

Swyped from my Voodoo-powered Fascinate via XDA
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Which is why they've lost me as a customer, and I will tell anyone that will listen to never buy a Samsung phone, ever again.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
So quit your *****ing and go buy that Motorola. Enjoy your locked bootloader while you're at it.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
No wonder Samsung gets away with such travesties. They have the ignorant people like you to defend them.
[Captivate General] King Shady:
Definitely agree Mike. Samsung has treated all of the Galaxy S like ****. I know its the Carriers faults too, but its still disappointing. edit.... I'll be going with Atrix 4G. I just can't give up that dual-core goodness!
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
While AT&T might be the cause of Froyo not being out yet, Samsung is 100% to blame for the GPS, lag, shutdowns, etc.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Now we are talking, choices on att. Decision.... decision ........ decision. That 4.5 super amoled plus screen it's hard to ignore.
[Captivate General] King Shady:
It'll be a huge battery drainer! I barely get through the day with my Cappy!
[Captivate General] ryboto:
Given the investment Samsung made in developing Orion, and the purchase of a ton of Tegra2 SoCs, I'm sure we'll see some form of a dual core phone from them in spring/summer. There's still plenty of time for them to announce a true successor to the Galaxy S. Given their track record, and the consistent 1 year update cycle the industry seems to be on, I know they'll have something new.

I don't know why we're all *****ing about support. Aside from the GPS issues and the lag on the stock ROM, the phone worked, and was updated. Even if it had been perfect, most of us would have been on modded ROMs anyway.
[Captivate General] hexum311:
Hmm let me think... basically an updated EVO on Att finally with the HTC Inspire or another roll of the dice from Samsung. No thanks Samsung never again, you have forever lost my business. I will be getting the HTC Inspire.

Awesome news!!!
[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
This announced phone doesn't have Gingerbread, whereas Nexus S already does. To me this means Samsung still hasn't figured out how to incorporate their TW BS to 2.3 yet. To those hoping for Gingerbread on Galaxy S, prepare to wait a long time...
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
And Motorola is innocent too I imagine? And lets not forget about HTC intentionally crippling hardware and leaving out drivers because they simply don't feel like paying licensing fees.

ALL of these companies do stupid **** with their products. Me personally, thanks to the Axura CE series of ROMs, I don't have any GPS problems, mine has never randomly shut down even though its included in the list of defective phones, and I don't have any lag either.

The point is that no matter what manufacturer you go with, there will ALWAYS be SOMETHING to ***** about. Also, Motorola doesn't exactly have the best track record with software updates either. HTC is the only one that has been fairly prompt at releasing software updates but they cripple the hardware and generally have **** build quality. Motorola has shown their idea of communities such as XDA by putting locked bootloaders on their devices and also tend to have **** build quality. Samsung doesn't release software updates frequently but at least when I've dropped my Captivate, I have yet to even get a scratch on the screen whereas my Evo shattered the first time I dropped it. Its all never-ending drama until consumers stop supporting the companies - and that's just never going to happen - which is why communities like XDA exist.

If that dual-core was made by HTC, I'd probably grab it. For now I'm perfectly happy with my Captivate and will wait for something more enticing to come along.
[Captivate General] Rockliveson123:
Amen!
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
I agree about the HTC with ****ty build quality. I have had bad experience with HTC phones in the past. They break very easy and have lot of hardware failures.
[Captivate General] nuwayman:
dam, and i just renewed my contract with att. i knew i should of waited. oh well, i dont really have any complaints about the captivate. the screen is just awesome looking. plus better processor then htc. im still big htc fan. had a pure and still have a tp2. as stated each manufacturer has there highs and lows with there phones. but isnt that why we are here on xda? to push our phones beyond there limitations and fix issues that the manufacturer didnt? if all we did was leave our phones the way it was out of the box then xda wouldnt exist. i love being able to flash new roms and themes and customising my phone the way i like it. so whether its a samsung or htc or motorola or whatever. they will all have something wrong with them and thats whats great about this site. im running mikeys serendipity rom and DAM its awesome. stock anything is just to dam boring.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
for me.....i'm curious about battery life on the Atrix. I have always told myself i was going to wait for a high resolution android before i moved on past the captivate. The Atrix looks SWEET, but that dual-core seems like a battery killer, even if it is bigger than ours
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
Well if the battery life of the Tegra 1 is any indication (its in the Zune HD), nVidia seems to be on top of their game with battery life.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I'm taking about the fact that this phone is broken and no one at Samsung gives a **** enough to fix it.

Eclair, frito, cupcake, cheese whiz, whatever; none if it works the way it should.

And, like I said, as far as locked phones, I'm not buying anything that hasn't been rooted.

[Captivate General] netnerd:
4.5 screen means nothing if GPS is garbage! I rather have a phone with smaller screen and non-super amold if everything just works! Don't depend on Samsung garbage if u have appointment or interview, the GPS will makes u late with all the wrong navigation turns!
[Captivate General] Xstop:
I'm just glad the Iphone is going to Verizon. Let the Android phones start rolling in.

I'm stuck with AT&T by choice, I tried all the carriers. Doesn't matter which carrier you have, they all ***** about customer service and how their carrier sucks.

But anyways, AT&T will start rolling out kick ass android phones (which will definately need XDA help)

Think about it, they had iphone exclusivity for how long..? And once they officially lose that, they'll try to top that....with Android phones, of course :D

Very interesting
[Captivate General] bames:
ya the infuse and inspire are pretty uninspiring compared to other already available devices including our captivates.

The atrix however with dual core processor is very interesting. They look to have a nice marketing plan and some very interesting accessories (especially in the docking arena) that look on schedule to be available when the phone launches rather than months after like many other devices.
[Captivate General] bames:
at least theoretically the dual core should help improve battery life but we will have to wait and see.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Sorry for the hijack bames :o But couldn't resist posting that since all the talk about htc and motorola in this thread.

[Captivate General] Epic800:

[Captivate General] shaolin95:
*****ing about Samsung cause like someone posted, they all have good and bad things so I dont care who builds the phone, if it has the specs that I want, I will get it.

I am disappointed with the new Samsung phone then...heck mine is running faster than that already so there is no reason for me to upgrade.

Will have to see how the Atrix does...that looks interesting but if games are not even taking advantage of my phone, I can image how long before anything takes advantage or dual cores unless Android is a lot better than Windows at making programs not designed for multicores split the load better that is.

PS just saw the video on the Atrix....WOW!
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Was waiting on the Desire HD myself and now that ATT is getting it that may be my next device. Only thing I am watching out for are the lock bootloaders like they did with the G-Tab and the Aria. Might just get an unlocked one.
[Captivate General] drleospaceman:
Where'd you hear that they're going back to RGB?
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Motorola and HTC's Froyo track record is leagues ahead of Samsung. HTC's updated the most, and Motorola has updated the fastest. And Motorola's numbers are skewed negatively because of ****ty phones no one cares about like the Backflip.

So yes, Samsung blows. But we all knew that.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yes we did lol Mainly after watching every smartphone they had come up with corruption issues of some sort or another, like for example the BJ and BJ2 both corrupting base system files requiring a full system flash to repair, but we all wanted to give them a second chance and well 2 strikes and they are out lol
[Captivate General] SuperSport:
Back to the Original OP.

Here's the Mysterious Back View of the Infuse that they don't want you to see. I don't see all the mystery. I'm guessing it's just to cause a stir and create a buzz, and hoping for bloggers to keep commenting on it.

On another note:

I'm using the Samsung Focus right now. Aside from the SD Card fiasco, it really is a nice phone to use. Screen is Awesome to look at every day, so I can just imagine a 4.5" with more Sub Pixels. Should be very easy on the eyes.

I'll wait until later in the year to make another upgrade decision, but likely Android. By then, Dual Core should be available in more places and the ATT Network will start to show if their upgrades are really all they say they will be. At the moment, signal is iffy in a lot of places for me.

Running NAND Android on my HD2 makes me want more! ;)
