[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oh_noes:
Hi XDA,

I have an Hauwei U8150 IDEOS and at home I'm having issues with cell tower reception. Everywhere outside home it's fine with great reception.

Is there an app that can give me more information about the cell reception I'm getting? What frequency it's on, the cell tower, or basically *any* extra detailed info?

Initially I thought my problems were relating to using my phone on a cell provider who only operate on 850Mhz (not 900Mhz) but since trying Pre-Paid SIM cards of 900Mhz providers - at home the reception is bad.

I'm running this rooted custom ROM.

Thanks in advance!
[Milestone 2 General] F4810:
Hi All

I have a Milestone 2 and have set this up so that it syncs my Hotmail (via corporate sync) and yahoo accounts. The hotmail account also syncs my contacts and calendar.

I noticed that random contacts would dissapear from my contacts list or that some would have part of their details removed (like phone numbers). On my hotmail account and outlook the contacts are still all there and fine and it is just my phone. I spoke to Motorola who told me to do a hard reset. I did this but still have the same issue. Now they want me to send the phone to them for 2 weeks. I dont see why this is needed as its obviously a software fault that they need to fix. Any ideas on how I can solve this?

I was thinking of not using motoblur and using another app to do the EAS for the hotmail account. Is this possible?

I also have some other issues I have listed below:

If set to automatic the weather widget always shows I am in Lyonsdown (unless I set it to manual and London - then it shows my local weather for London). But I want it to work out where I am wirelessly so when I move around I get the current weather where I am and not for Lyonsdown all the time.

Facebook errors all the time saying my password is wrong yet it still seems to sync OK with facebook. I have removed facebook for now as I am fed up with it asking me to continuously enter a correct password.

If I log into motoblur to locate my phone it never works and it also shows the wrong phone number for my phone.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi!

Everything seems to work OK, except for my mobile internet...

Basically, I can load into Winmo 6.5, but when it tries to make a mobile data connection it says 'There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network' and the little H icon is grayed out (but still there) and when I boot to Android there is no connection there either. Wi-fi works well and so does regular calling. Have made sure that the connection details are all correct and tried various connection details, none of which work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Oh, and info:

ROM: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE

ROM date: 09/29/10

RAdio version: 2.15.50.14

And even more bizarrely the phone will beep when someone has texted, but has stopped vibrating, but it will vibrate when someone calls me. Weird.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismgan:
I thought I had done a Google backup, but then I realized that most of my contacts had been created to the phone and not Google. So I was only able to restore the handful that were backed up to Google. Now, back to my original question. Anyway that I can restore those .img files back to the phone?

I'd really appreciate any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
So just to confirm, your nandroid is corrupt? If so then you are more or less SOL AFAIK. I don't know exactly if you can mine out contact information from the backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismgan:
Yes it must be corrupt as it keeps erroring when I try to install.

For future reference you can go to your contacts and hit menu/export contacts, and it will save them to your sdcard.

How the hell do u back your contacts up to Google?? Whenever I sync to Google from 'accounts and sync' nothing happens..and now i have successfully deleted all my contacts from my phone after clearing the Contacts app data cache, which i read might help...Luckily i have nandroids to pull the data from.. How exactly do i go about re-flashing the contact data back to the phone from the nandroid, so i can then back em up to Google/export them the the sdcard?? (without restoring the entire nandroid)

Idk if its my ROM or what..but its frustrating..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What you can do is try to do the google sync again, hopefully it should work. Then go into you contacts, push menu, and should give you the option to copy and do an import/export of contacts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmcd:
Yeah, i'm doing a full nandroid restore now to get my contacts back, then ill back em up to the sd card, flash a new ROM, then restore em and hopefully Google sync will work then..hopefully

Hello,

I use a custom rom with app2sd on my desire.

Or isn't it noticable and could i better keep using this class 2 card?

Sorry for my english!:D

hi all

first sorry for my english i ' m from italy, that's my question:

i have a HTC hd mini and i need to find the folder where are saved SMS mail contacts for do a manually backup because i have problem with automatic backup(using program).

i hope someone can help me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
sms and contacts are saved in pim.vol file in your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] furious84:
can help me about mail and mms?a question...if i copy all files wich are in the device ,then i ll do hard reset install new rom and paste files wich i had copied they work again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jSerious:
I don't know, off the top of my head, if that will work. However, here are a lot of options to backup the PIM info (email, contacts, text and SMS messages, etc.) on your WM device in preparation for a Hard Reset.

If you do a search in the Windows Mobile Development and Hacking Forum for "pim backup" you will find many, many solutions.

In my opinion, 2 of the most popular (and useful) programs are:

- Microsoft's My Phone is a free service that allows you to backup all of you email, text messages, contacts, etc. (up to 200MB) to the web. you can them sync them all back to the device after you hard reset. It also allows you to schedule the backup so it is almost always up to date.\

- DotFred's PIM Backup tool allows you to backup your appointments, emails, SMS, etc. It also lets you do 2 things that MS My Phone does not... you can backup your call logs and speed dials as well (this is something My Phone does not do). It can also run on a schedule, but the backups are stored on your device (main memory or on the storage card) not on the web.

Cheers!

I don't know if it's the right place to ask, but, well, it probably is.

Can someone recommend an HD2 Android kernel with the proper drivers that would allow utilities, such as AllCallRecorder, to actually record both sides of a phone conversation on an HD2 ? I am currently running one of the Evo-based Android builds with one of the later Hastarin kernels, and have no luck recoding calls.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Chefs and kernel devs would answer that. They read the Q&A section. If everybody had a question for them, the section would be chaotic. That's why there is a certain section for your questions.

The inc is by far the best phone on Verizon right now in regards to hacking and ROM's. Anyone who hates on it is, well, is a hater :D The X is a good phone in terms of hardware, but the inc community is simply awesome. iphone it is not.

Motorola is listening guys! It may not happen with the X, 2, but I'm willing to bet the new moto phones will be more easy to manipulate. They see how it will hurt them in terms of future sales.
[Droid X General] Gimpeh:
I really doubt it would hurt much when it comes to sales since a majority of Droid owners know nothing of the phones true potential. Although that was a crappy statement to make on motorola's part. As a consumer it really makes me think twice on what phone I will purchase next.
[Droid X General] Riley1524:
Even though the average consumer wont be rooting and what not, I'm sure many of these average users will read the comments of all the Modders and be put off on buying a moto: phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi studiominal :)

Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

I would add an important note about the EQ usage.

For correction purpose and best result, an equalizer is supposed to be used by attenuating some frequencies and not boosting other.

Actually, Galaxy Tuner EQ implementation miss dynamic range compression and you can easily create distortions, this is why it's even more useful to correct by reducing and not increasing gains ;)

As I wrote in the original Voodoo Sound Thread,

its easy to hardcode the amplifier level all you need is root explorer.

Just write this: " echo 62 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/voodoo_sound/headphone_amplifier_level" (you can insert any value from 1 to 62 for max gain) into one of the init scripts at /etc/init.d.

@Supercurio: Maybe you could use some of Xan's code (he has made the source of his voltage control app public) to implement a

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stepping:
First it depends on your headphones. My "AKG K518 DJ" have a little bit to much bass. Therefore i have to reduce the bass to have a more balanced sound.

And the most important for a good sound is the kind of music you hear and your personell preferences. You have to "play" with the settings and find your personell best settings.
