goto hotmail web on your desktop. along the top, hover over hotmail, and select contacts. put a tick next to the contacts you want to merge into one. just above the list you see a "manage" option, hover over that and select combine contacts.

presto. contacts merged. these changes should be pretty instant on the phone. otherwise you can goto settings > emails & accounts > press & hold windows live, and synchronise.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mcorrie1121:
Calendars, not contacts. What I really want is birthdays to automatically be added to my calendar.

TeslaLED. Perfect. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:

Anyone run across any new LED apps since this was posted? I cannot overstate the usefulness of a good LED torch app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Torch from CM7 works fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
I use TeslaLED, works great. I noticed that it lags turning on from the homescreen widget compared to G2, but it's not the end of the world.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
did you expect to not use it in the case of it breaking? Why have it at all then?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravidavi:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Star Shadow:
I use LED Light. It has a widget that you can put on yyour home screen. That is if you want an app that does one thing and one thing well.

Any one of these have variable brightness settings? When I had my HD7 the ability to choose between 3 levels, low medium and high, was awesome sauce.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Still roadtesting these LED apps. Mag Flashlight has two brightness settings but only high works on my Nexus S. I wish I could make the app myself. No one needs the strobe, SOS, cutesy interface. Just a simple app and widget that allows for variable brightness, from low to medium to high.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
I use the one in Widgetsoid 2.0 but that's just because I use it for other things as well. No need for more than one.

I use "Instant Heart Rate" which is a great little app for checking your pulse, you put your finger over the camera and the LED flash stays on to light up the capillaries while the camera detects the rythym, works great. Side effect is that if you don't put your finger there, it's a torch ! :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meazz1:
This after noon I tried to go in to recovery, I can go to bootloader screen with no issue. The recovery screen is all black with two white bars on the sides. I rebooted couple of time but the recovery screen is still black.

I was running 2.15.00.11.19 radio on my Dinc. Last night I switched back to the stock radio (2.15.00.7.28). I did verify the MD5. The ph is working ok except for the recovery image screen.

I understand that I need to run recovery image.

Is the radio image and the recovery image the same thing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmp3z:
http://www.dougpiston.com/files/Reco...MG_cwm_mod.zip

Rename as PB31IMG.zip and put on the root of your SD card. Flash via HBOOT (Turn phone off, then hold volume down + power). Follow the prompts and it should flash recovery for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meazz1:
Thanks. This restored my recovery screen.

Is this the same as the radio image?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
No, radio and recovery are vastly different; just like Development and Q&A forums are completely different ;).

Flashing a radio.img incorrectly (corrupted file, battery issue, etc) is the only known way to permanently brick a device.

The recovery saves your ass when you mess anything else up.

It looks like you need a little android refresher course...before it's too late.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alnmoore:
Hi is there a app or setting to change the icon and Widget spacing? Iwant to put them closer, there is so much space wasted.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jambamkin:
Many third party launchers such as launcher pro or adw allow you to adjust the amount of columns and rows used allowing you to add more icons.

sent from my DHD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] TheArtfulPenguin:
how about an edit so you don't have to run another app

I would think there would be a configuration file with spacing in it that you could edit so you don't have to run another app. There are a lot of good launcher apps but the only thing I don't like about the home screen is the spacing and don't want to have to have another app running just to resolve that.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jambamkin:
What rom are you running? If you are rooted there are roms that have stock but only icons spacing changed. Can't find post right now. If you aren't rooted you'll need to write to HTC to change their launcher.

I don't know to much about that rom but are you using the correct cwm version?

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
Yes. CWM. I went back to stock DK28 with ODIN and still get stuvk when trying to flash 1.2 or 1.5.
[Epic 4G General] Amittai:
Does your CWM have green or orange text?
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
Green. Any help is appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
Ditto ya gotta find cwm3.0.0.5
[Epic 4G General] Amittai:
You need to convert from RFS to EXT4 by flashing CWM 3.0.0.1. Follow this link, then click the link in Step 1 of the install instructions. You'll have to create an AndroidCentral user in order to download the files needed, but this is the guide I used to convert my phone over so I know it works.
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
I installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and it still gets stuck. Now I am getting boot loops. Thanks for all the input.
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
I got Truly Epic 1.2 to run and select update.zip by mistake. Think that might be affecting everything? I cant even get 1.2 to flash now.
[Epic 4G General] Amittai:
hmm, everything you're describing is pointing towards the FS being RFS still.

If you are flashing TER 1.5 with a CWM with green text, your flash of CWM3 (orange text) didn't take.

Here's what I would do in this situation:

1. Odin back to DK28

2. Reflash CWM3

3. Flash TER 1.5

Again, I would use the thread I linked in my previous post as I know it works.
[Epic 4G General] Amittai:
That may have something to do with it, depending what update.zip was on you SD card.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
i think theres definately something up with truly epic.. i had to restart my phone just now and i got stuck in a boot loop.. tried to reflash.. same problem.. tried to flash a different rom.. same problem.. i had to delete everything to get it to work again.. sucks
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
Anyone having a problem going from TER v1.2 to TER v1.5 using the full version (auto backup/restore) try using the TER v1.5 clean version now offered. It has the auto backup/restore removed.

TrulyEpic Rebirth v1.5 Clean Install

Make a NANDROID backup in CWM3 as usual

Wipe 3x

Flash and Enjoy

Any FC's from framework.google (FC errors) try rebooting into CWM3 and select Fix Permissions. That should do the trick.
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
Should I try to delete all the files off my SD card, ODIN back to stock DK28 and put on a fresh CWM 3?
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
Curious to know how different 1.2 and 1.5 are. Been on 1.2 for a week and is very stable. Only complaint is with multitasking in browser. Seems like it pauses page load if you run another app while waiting completed loading. Definately liked the benchmark scores. Sql even beats viperrom on ext4

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fleegasm:
Hello,

Has anyone ever experienced the inability to download pictures from SMS/MMS while connected to wifi? My buddy can send me a pic via messaging or chomp sms and once it gets to me, usually a long time later, I will get a small, empty chat balloon touch the balloon and it will give me the loading circle for a few minutes and it will eventually stop without dl'ing anything. If I turn off wifi then it will dl within seconds. This is the same on both my phone and my buddy's(captivate) the only difference is I run the Firefly 2.0.5 and he is running stock eclair.

Is this just something that we have to deal with or is there a fix for this?

I did a samsung live chat and the agent said it was the way samsung makes their phones and restrict it to only allow SMS/MMS DL from the carrier signal.

Thanks for any and all help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
mms are done over 3g, are you able to browse the internet on 3g? are your APN settings correct?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyZee:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
MMS are only done over your carrier network. To prove this send your self an mms and as it is sending and receiving what your task bar and you will see that your data network connects to download it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap1618:
since the phone has to drop the wifi signal and connect to the carrier data signal to send or receive MMS (it might not show in the icon though), yours might be lagging somewhat in doing that...

so when the buddy is on wifi his one does it quicker yes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fleegasm:
Yes can browse the internet while on 3G and WIFI.

I do not know if my APN settings are wrong or right.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fleegasm:
No, in reference to the way the devices act both do the same thing. Do not allow you to DL MMS while the WIFI is turned on. neither seems faster or slower it just will not complete the task on wifi.

Thanks to all for the replies
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
+10000000000

I checked it 2 days back. Even when on wifi, it turns on EDGE/3G, downloads MMS and disconnects it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fleegasm:

[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I am not yet an Android user. Will be getting Inspire on Monday. But I was wondering if people think it will be possible to unlock the tethering function after rooting and junk like that? I still have the unlimited data plan so that would be clutch.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
You should be able to do this even without root by sideloading (using the sideload wonder machine) a third-party app

junefabrics.com/android/index.php
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
Very cool, will probably be using that then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
That program only supports USB and BT tether though, which kinda sucks.:mad: No wifi = fail
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
What exactly does that mean? That you have to connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable in order to tether?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Yes, that will work, but you won't have sound when you're done. The kernel drivers are slightly different and we don't have proper source code yet. Also, we want to flash back our radio.

In the meantime, we can use the kernel supplied in the at&t inspire with the DHD roms.

Also, the DHD ENG Hboot maybe be a little squirrely with our radio. We had some oddness, so I don't recommend flashing that.

Update: DHD ENG hboot issue closed - it was another problem. The DHD/MT4G eng Hboot is fine. I don't recooment that newbs flash this - it gives you nothing you can't already do and there is a real possibility of bricking the phone flashing it if you don't know what you're doing.

I am working on a kit that will have everything needed to get root and radio s-off, including scripts to make this a bit easier. You can do this on Windows (provided you have installed the right USB drivers), OSX or Linux.

Note: A gold card *WILL* be needed. I can't include that in the kit. You can save yourselves some time by looking up how to make a gold card and getting that done ahead of time. You will thank yourself for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Researching it now..

Update:

looks pretty simple.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
Will the gold card need to be the card that I use for the phone after I root or can I just use any micro SDHC card and then replace it when I'm done?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
I think its just to root the phone with and that's all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
Props to attn1 for getting the inspire rooted this quickly. I got my phone on monday and by using his method (and his hours of help) it was rooted by early wednesday morning.

Now I am impatiently waiting for a compatible CM7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
Is there a minimum size for the sd card for gold card? Can the sd card be used for normal usage afterwards?
[HTC Inspire 4G] JCreazy:

[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I am looking how to do a Gold Card and I keep seeing that you need the phone in order to do it. Is that true? ATTN1 said get it done ahead of time, so can you do it without the phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I don't really care so much about custom rom's, all I want is wifi hotspot and hsupa being enabled.

Hope this isn't too complicated. I plan on buying the phone, trying it out stock, and if I decide to keep it, root it for the 2 features above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mafiaboy01:
Anyone know if this rooting methode is going to be compatible with the telus HTC Desire HD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
In looking at the process that attn1 describes, it should work with Telus, however, you would probably need to flash the Telus kernel instead of the Inspire kernel and use the Telus radio instead of the Inspire radio just to be safe.

It looks like the kit that attn1 is putting together will have specific pieces for the Inspire. You may want to visit and search the DHD forum for rooting specifics about the Telus DHD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mafiaboy01:
Ya its just that the TELUS one is also looking sound just like the inspire. So I figured there more related then to the eu dhd
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Yup or through bluetooth
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmstlist:
Okay so not only do you get the sound back flashing the Telus RUU... you can also get it back flashing the repacked pre-rooted Telus ROM in custom recovery.

Anyone brave enough here might want to see how well the Telus ROM (either by RUU or custom recovery) works on the Inspire. It should have wireless tethering and non-Market apps enabled. Worst case you can RUU back to the AT&T ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Tomorrow maybe... I may have to figure out all the in's and outs of android first lol. I didn't do a whole lot with my captivate, and i'm coming from an iPhone.

Anyone have a link to a recovery flashable telus rom? I wouldn't mind loading it too see if it works.

I think the person meant "uncrippled HSUPA". You're supposed to be betting 1Mbps on upload, not 200 :)

HSUPA+ is not enabled when the phone is bought. That enables the fast uploads. Not this 200 kbps crap. Att has purposly crippled all phones with hspa to not include this, besides the iPhone 4.
