[Windows Phone 7 General] chumaj001:
I have several question regarding contacts, cause it seems little bit chaotic.

1. I set up my Live account, connected it with my gmail, facebook, linked in etc. and then syncd with phone - zero contacts in my phone. SO I realized, that you can sync live with gmail, but it will not import phone contacts... and if you set gmail account on your phone (not in live) it will download the contacts from the account, but will not sync them with live. It sucks. You can import contacts in live from gmail directly in browser (there is an import gmail option). Buit anyway, it sucks, because I thought, that my live account will be able to sync different contacts so they will be updated all the time - I will change something in gmail and it will be updated in WP7, I will change WP7 and it will sync with gmail. NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING. SAD.

2. LinkedIn - my LinkedIn contacts are showing OK in Live.com, with pictures etc. But, they are not showing with pictures on the phone and they are not even showing all information from linkedin. Is there a way how to change it (I want pictures from these contacts to some of my phone conracts after i link them?

3. Facebook - I thought, that when I connect facebook in live.com, that it will be connected automatically in the phone as well. It isnt. It does show updates in people hub, but it will not show contacts in contact list, if you want them to show, again, you will have to add facebook account to your phone. BUt these will not be synced with your live, so when you link facebook contact with linked in conbtact and gmail contact and then you hard reset the phone and sync it with live, you will not have ONE contact, you will have three different unlinked contacts, becuase link is done just in phone. WHICH SUCKS.

4. Oh, and I just realized, that when I imported my contacts from gmail to live and then synced them to WP7, the contacts on my phone do not show phone numbers! My live contacts show the phone numbers, but they are not synced to the phone! WTF? Aarrrgh... So I will have to sync my gmail contacts with numbers with my phone as a separate account to be able to call those contacts...

Any advices how to avoiud these problems, or am i wrong?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsacipher:
My problem is the same as your number 2 problem. If anyone knows how to sync all the data it would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chumaj001:
I tried to google it and realized, that I am not the only one in the world with the same problem. There are lot of people with that problem and it seems, that it may appear during time, first everything is synced right from live, and then it stops working, phone numbers and pictures dissapear etc. Also, there is no answer to that problem from MS.

So, I tried following:

1. Deleted all my contacts from live

2. Diconected all the social networks in live.

3. Synced my phone with live, so there were no contacts on my phone as well

4. Deleted all account on my phone (facebook)

5. Restarted the phone

5. Imported contacts from gmail to live again

6. Connected live with facebook and linkedin again

7. Synced my phone with live

At first, it seemed to work, my gmail contacts appeared with numbers again.

There were no pictures at gmail contatcs that should have them (even that during my first sync, they were imported)

And the worst thing is, that when I started syncing my liveID to my phone it went to same weird loop. I have 350 contacts in live, but the syncing doesnt seem to stop, right now it says it is syncing contact 10000 (!) and continues to sync (also reported by many other users on MS answers forum).

So, the whole thing seems to be totally screwed. :mad:

Any advices?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsacipher:
I wonder if a hard reset then resyncing with my Live account would work. I'm not sure if since I added the LinkedIn relationship after the initial transfer that is the problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chumaj001:
So, I hardreseted and the problem remains. It is probably caused by some incompatible data from gmail (i gues it could be HTC Sense notes about my facebook links on android). Most bizzare thing is, that it doesnt happen when you sync the same contacts directly with gmail. Hotmail is definitelly ****ed up and nobody at support is trying to solve this. There is couple of really desperate guys at MS forums.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ajua:
All I did was to setup my Contacts in Windows Live uploading them from Outlook in the first place. Then I cleaned them up and finally I added my Facebook account.

The phone automatically matched more then half of my contacts and linked their accounts. I needed to manually link some of them because of accents in their names, but that was not a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] matthewharmon102:
i think i may hit some these problem when i install windows phone 7 (currently running android). im looking at sorting out my calenders and contacts and need some advice. here is my setup:

i have 7 email accounts i want to sync with my phone:

2x windows live (1 main one and 1 work one)

2x google mail (1 main one and 2 work ones)

1x yahoo 1

1x ISP (virgin media)

1x work

currently i use outlook 2010 to send/recieve mail from all of them, and manage my contacts that i use. the contacts are managed as follows:

main gmail: phonebook contacts (i.e. everyone i have a phone number for)

work gmail: no contacts

yahoo: online addressbook with outdated contacts (not managed through outlook)

ISP: no contacts

work: no contacts

work windows live: work contacts (email only)

main windows live: a mix of everything, some outdated contacts

on top of this, my facebook and linked in accounts are linked to my main windows live account.

for calenders, i currently run 2, 1 from outlook, and 1 from windows live. the outlook calender is automatically synced with the main gmail calender through the google calender sync app on the pc.

my questions are:

1. what is the best account to have the 'phonebook' contacts in

2. does windows phone 7 merge all addressbooks into 1 big address book

3. if i wanted to kep my contacts/calenders synced between all my email accounts and my wp7 device, how could i go about this?

4. if i had the same address book in each mail account, would i end up with multiple contacts/multiple details in my address book on my phone?

the reason i have so many email addresses is a do freelance work on the side of my studying, and i have a seperate email account for each client i do work for. i also use things like yahoo groups and the google services.

i suppose an additional question would be:

5. can i merge all the email account into 1 account, and seperate the emails into groups (this would need to be done on the pc and on the phone). this would probably cut down my email accounts 4!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ajua:
^^^

1) You can use your personal Windows Live account as the default. It works great for having your main contacts (phonebook) and calendar synced.

2) No, you get one separate Tile for each account so you can pin it to the start screen and see the number of unread emails per account.

3) I would try to cut them down to two at the most. One for Windows Live and one for Gmail. Having too many would be a PITA and bothersome to keep tabs on.

4) The phone will automatically match contacts and their details from different account. If you find that some are not linked, you can always do it manually. This feature works great, either automatically or manual adding.

5) You can configure you main Windows Live account to retrieve mails from other account and have them separated by folders. You can even send mail using those accounts.

You can also have your two WL account merged and have one Gmail account retrieve mail from the other and keep. This way, you will end up with just two separate account, one for WL and one for Gmail.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] matthewharmon102:
i think it does. i suppose one of my other concerns is that i dont want all of my windows live contacts in my phonebook, as they are email only. is there a way of only listing contacts with phone numbers? i think what i am going to do it set up mail forwarding, and then have the mail sorted into folders in my windows live account. i have aquired a lot of contacts over the years and im sure i dont need/use about 75% of them any more!
[Wildfire General] tomdroid1:
Hi! I’ve installed a WildPuzzleROM v 0.7 recently and I’m short on free space on my phone storage. I followed this guide //baert.ulyssis.be/2010/10/13/wildpuzzle-rom-for-htc-wildfire/! So it’s makes me wonder did I do something wrong. I think that I only had about 80 to 90MB of free space after the fresh install.

Every help would be appreciated! THX!

hi guys,

I noticed that VIDEO camera is not working well

it does not save the recorded videos and you can not change the format, and if you try to save, crashes..

when I open a video the screen stays black or a error message appears..

is it a software problem?

i've got cyanogen 6.1 stable mod

photos are good, i have only problems with the video
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
go flash cm7, camera works. why are you still on cm6.1 anyway, cm7 is stable enough. pretty much everything works.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It's a known bug and stated in the 2nd post of the CM6.1 thread.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mdk2010:
Same method is mentioned in other tutorials so what's new in it?Most of the users are not been able to format as Full erase through SD card formatter so what would they do?I myself getting error of 123Fatal Hit n there the phone remains stuck.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sentinel196:
As I stated in the OP, I'm just trying to help out. All the information is available elsewhere, this just provides an easy reference for people having problems.

If the Windows based formatting tools arent working for you, I'd suggest formatting to FAT32 in Gparted, then trying to format again with SD formatter.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bouwew:
Sentinel196, thanks for your GUIDE!

I tried this, unfortunately, still it doesn't work.

I think the problem is with my 8GB class 4 (cheap, unknown brand) SD card. For some reason, MAGLDR (1.11) doesn't recognize it fully when I select USB MassStorage. I hear the "USB device connected"-sound, but no drive comes up in Windows Explorer.

I tried another card I have, a Kingston 16GB class 2 card, with that one, everything works fine.

The strange thing is that the 8GB card works fine under Android, never had any problems with it until trying to use it with MAGLDR.

Anyway, I will put this issue I have with my SD-card in the MAGLDR-thread.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hrasek88:
None of theese guide helped me.... It is not just about formating SD and stuff ....

I had to flash old WM 6.5 ROM, than do all again, radio, MALGDR, format SD, ClockworkMod ... like u do for the 1st time when 1st NAND droid came out ... don't know if this help someone ... but helped me ... my SD is 8GB class 2 ...

when I copied some file/folder to SD I always used Card Reader ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmknight:
In my experience for best results at this stage (when the phone reboots from CWM installation and every time you wish to boot into CWM) the device should be disconnected from USB (my device specs in siggy). I posted my take on a tutorial HERE in the original [10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2 thread.

Cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tdizzle404:
Nice guide!

Thanks man! I was about to give up on clockwork till your wisdom made it possible. Now my phone very complete and stable."Flashing on the fly!"

To those having trouble follow this guide to the T it works! You may have to do it twice if your 4:20 friendly;) Hope everyone enjoys clockwork as much as I am!

HD2 best investment i ever made! "sorry dog":D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zachmerrill504:
For me, when I first got Magldr on the phone i tried messing around with the Boot AD SD option and tried changing the SD directory where Android boots from and that is what I think got Clockwork not to boot correctly for me. So instead of putting the two copy to sd files on the root of my sd card, I put in into a folder called nand and through the services menu in Magldr I added that as SD folder boot option for Clockwork Mod recovery and everything worked just fine.

Just out of interest, did you try just reflashing MAGLDR before starting completely from scratch? I cant see how loading a WinMo6.5 ROM would make a difference as the partition table is erased by MAGLDR when a NANDROID ROM is flashed.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ian72:
Hey guys, Im semi new to android phones and hacking them. Ive been looking for a way to amplify the volume (aux out or headphones) of my galaxy s. I drive alot and so plug it into my cars headset. Ive been looking at other methods of how to do this but most require flashing voodoo and voodoo sound or something. Not knowing how/ wanting to flash my galaxy yet, is there anyway to do this without?

Your help would be appreciated.

Of cause if the only way is to flash i will look into it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam v boy:
Download "louder volume hack app "off of applanet . Go to widgets . Add it and click on the red one . It its really loud .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st4rk:
But you loose quality, it is software enhanced sound which means it distorts sooner. With voodoo its different, its taking advantage of the inbuilt hardware.. The wm8994 amp inside the phone is very powerful and capable of driving high end headphones that normally require an external amp, for some reason samsung gimped it when the released the phone.. But voodoo fixes that and gives you a much better music experience. Louder but without loss of quality.. It also has improvements for the mic as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I agree with St4ark. Flash either voodoo or speedmod kernal and download voodoo control app from the market. The difference is amazing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonci:
I havent tried voodo sound, but generally speaking, If its louder it can't be better quality.

HP volume is too much on the galaxy for my hearing, I just wish it could have more volume steps like 20 or 30 instead of 15.

In the night even on the 1 volume is too much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
Audio boost app on mkt. Boosts the same way voodoo does by upping internal amp setting. Don't need to flash but do need to be rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ian72:
Hey guys thanks for all the help. ill try out audio boost first. I have rooted, and used oclf (one click lag fix) on my phone. Im not sure if i want to put voodoo on it. Does voodoo fix the messege lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
the new voodo has mic settings which audioboost doesnt so you can "finally" record at a concert with decent sound.

also if you dont want to muck with your lag stuff (vodoo kerenel) take a look at hardcord kernel.. many more options than voodoo.. i am

using it and it has back light notification support, lagfix (off by default) and voodoo latest sound support among other stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st4rk:
Yup it changes file system to ext4 which is faster than rfs, so lag is reduced.

Also flashing it with odin is pretty easy, but be sure to read up on it before doing it because if you check the wrong box you can have problems..

Be sure you have 3 buttons mode working before you do any sort of customising though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ian72:
Thanks for the info st4rk. I appreciate it.If i were to flash though, id use the reboot method, cause i dont have a windows computer in my house. (Only linux and freebsd). Which means id have to install the 3 button restart. Just a question though, do i have to uninstall my lag fixes before flashing? and does voodoo use the 512 meg of ram? What quadrant standard score should i expect? im running at like 1500 atm. thanks for the help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisking:
u’d better try the newest speedmod kernel

or voodoo,both of them can meet your request
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ian72:
sorry, which request?

[General Accessories] TRusselo:
For all the people that have bubbles/ lint /dirt / fingerprints behind their screen protector from a fumble or rushed / botched install. here is your salvation!

It is a little known fact that *most* of the screen protectors are completely washable. The "sticky" side wont wash off or smear or in any way ruin.

1. Peel it off

2. Run under water and use your hand to remove lint, dirt specs, smudges ect.

3. Hold by the corner tightly (little as possible) with an absorbant towel and shake vigorously in front of a fan or air purifier (better) until completly dry.

NOTE. Slowly air drying will leave water spots from impurities in the water. Purified water may solve this problem.

4. clean screen

5. reapply protector CAREFULLY THIS TIME!!!

6. and, repeat if necessary for perfect clean lay.

there is nothing i find more annoying than a bubbled screen. i got a perfect lay on my third attempt. first got botched by an incomming call, then got lint in there.. you know, life..

hope this helps some people. spread the word.
[General Accessories] deliriousDroid:
I know the feeling, I live in a dusty old house, and it is almost impossible to get a protector on there without some mote of dust landing.

But thanks for the tip

Sent from my SilverBullet "RootedHTCDesireZ"
[General Accessories] BootloopedMillennials:
Another tip use scotch tape to peel off the screen protector and remove dust particles from the sticky side of the screen protector.
[General Accessories] TRusselo:
thats a good idea too.
[General Accessories] Ryukenden:
Heh, nice tips, had this issue when i owned an iPhone 3Gs.
[General Accessories] Bruce Inman:
Some other tips that work for me.

Instead of water, get an alcohol screen cleaner wipe as it will clean and dry quickly.

If you are in a dusty environment, go into the bathroom and run the shower on hot to create alot of steam, this will remove most of the dust from the air.
[General Accessories] HaSefer:
Will definitely have to try this when I get home. Thanks!
[General Accessories] TRusselo:
OOPS! did i bump that?
[General Accessories] iDroidFan:
I've known this for a bit now, I thought most people would since some screen protectors are applied using a mix of soap and water.
[General Accessories] TRusselo:
ive had a few screen protectors, never had one that, suggested that...

and no not everyone knows about it.
[General Accessories] Krooked22:
the shower works great for my apt, theirs not much airflow going on so theirs a bunch of dust but the shower does the trick.

Ive also found that the secret to applying screen protectors

TAKE YOUR TIME, NO RUSH

and be careful
[General Accessories] Gadget Guru:
I also apply mine wet, then squeegee the hell out of it.
[General Accessories] TRusselo:
I tried the squeegee method, had no bubbles but I had dried water spots underneath when it dried. the water here has a lot of minerals in it.

water spots on your dishes? you need get dry!! Lol

Or just do what I do, apply it in a clean room under a hepa filter using powder free gloves......
