in contacts you can click "show "home" on map" link and it opens google maps and takes you to the location.
This would be very usefull if it worked off location in calendar/appointments.
I have lots of appointments with people who are not in my contacts and i don't want to have to enter them as a contact. I would like a quick way to find their address in google maps.
But it is time consuming having to pull over in the car and enter addresses into google maps.
I am sure most business people would find this usefull.
My current method is to open the appointment, menu, edit, hold on location, select all, hold on location, copy, done. Hit home key, scroll to google maps in quick links, menu, search, hold in search bar, paste, ok. then if needed - tap for options, directions, see map.
There must be an easier way
Yeah. I would like to have this feature as well. Previously, with my i780 and Garmin MXT, I can integrate Garmin location with any appointment seamlessly. But now the HTC Sense (ie calendar/appointment) fails to integrate Garmin MXT locations.
I can't believe they didn't set this up
They did it for the contacts, must not be too hard for them to set this up for appointments.
Hope someone works out a solution.
I am on the same page, here is how I would like to do it.
I start a small business such as lawn care,post my number in the paper and other ads.
1. my phone rings (555)555-1234 calls, yes I will be buy to give you an estimate, can you be reached at this number?
2. copy* number
3. open opera, open google,in google paste the number (to get the address and personal info.)
4. open google maps
5. copy and paste address in Google maps get the location on the map and directions.
6. open options menu and choose add contact.
7. open google back up and choose the persons name, copy
8. open the contact back up, add name to contact, category to suit,
9. open Pocket informant* and create a new appoitment with the new contact linked phone(to call and confirm), linked address (for directions VIA map),for the estimate.
10. add in Callcalendar2 and all calls are logged to the calendar and also to the contacts note field.
Alot of rigamarole!!!!
IDEALLY it would work like this:
1. Phone rings (555)555-1234
2. From the Phone log choose +contact
3. New? or update existing?
4. New, lookup number?(Now it would be great to just look up phone in Google maps).
5. options,add all information?, YES DONE!
This opens contact to proof, menu, create appointment, Done!
Looking forward to a good solution.
I don't need that depth of functionality. Just simply having the "Location" field in an appointment, link to google maps. Seems logical to me, and can't be any harder to do that link than it is from "address" field in contacts.
I'd love to see calendar appointment location on google maps too,
has anyone found the solution?
YES! It is working!
I create appointment on PC, put Name and Phone number in the Title box, full address in the Where box, and whatever other notes I need down below.
On my phone, in the car, tap calendar, tap appointment, tap address (it is an underlined hyperlink), already told it to use Maps to open this type from now on, VZ navigator was another choice, map opens and shows destination. Tap destination, tap navigation icon, tap "driving navigation", and it starts working.
I would like to see an option to go directly from tapping address to driving navigation, skipping all the rest. That would be nice.
Now if we could just get google to link appointments to contacts, I'd be a very happy camper!
Link function in "location" in calendar needed
Yes, I agree. This is really annoying since it worked similar on my Droid. Since I upgraded to the Samsung Charge, I do not like that I cannot simply click on the location when viewing an event and it opening up in Google Maps. This function would be extremely helpful.
Android is the answer
This is now a past issue for me.
I changed my HD2 to android 2.3.3 and that is built in - links to maps and directions. Also google maps on Android runs as a fully functioning GPS navigator.
The HD2 is so versatile and easy to run Android on. CM7 is very nice. I run Nightly's version. Just bought a Desire HD and am running Honeysense.
Windows Mobile was good (I wazs long time user) - Android is now much better.
I had used CDMA Diamond with Nrg ROM and had this functionality:

Now with the imagio all of this is real hard! I think it is because MS put Bing on the phone so none of this "google" stuff works
If you are like me, you like using contacts stored locally on the phone.
Also, you don't like your gmail contacts (contacts automatically added to your useless contacts list on your gmail account).
I have 120 contacts on my previous phone, and about 700 useless contacts on my gmail account.
When I started using android, it synced all the contacts and I ended up with 800+ making my life hell, and my phone slow.
So I found a way to get rid of all the damn stupid contacts, Goes like this :
Backup ALL your contacts for your phone to a vcf file
Copy that file to your PC
Open your gmail account, delete ALL the contacts you don't need - I just deleted ALL my contacts.
Open your phone, delete ALL the contacts.
Using the script below, and activestate TCL, clean your script. It will only leave contacts with phone numbers.
Copy the new vcf file to your phone, import, job done.
The script requires :
Copy the pasted code into a file, save it with .tcl extension.
Activestate tcl installed, OR, tclsh tclkit executable in your PATH.
Then, you put the script and your vcf source file renamed as in.vcf in the same folder
Run the script in CMD, "tclsh <scriptName>"
You get a new file named out.vcf
Code:
proc exportContact {} {
global contact fout counter
if {[string match *TEL* $contact]} {
puts $fout BEGIN:VCARD\n$contact\nEND:VCARD
incr counter
puts "Copied"
} else {
puts "Skipped"
}
set contact ""
}
puts "Welcome, Lets get rid of contacts without phone numbers!\n"
if {![file exist in.vcf]} {puts "Error - Cannot find file in.vcf,\nplease put it in the same folder as this script and try again.\n\nPress Enter to exit";gets stdin;exit}
set counter 0
set fout [open out.vcf w+]
set contact ""
set fin [open in.vcf r]
while {![eof $fin]} {
set line [gets $fin]
if {[string match "FN:*" $line]} {puts -nonewline "Inspecting $line...";flush stdout}
if {$line eq "BEGIN:VCARD"} {
continue
}
if {$line eq "END:VCARD"} {
exportContact
continue
}
append contact $line\n
}
close $fout
close $fin
puts "\nCopied $counter contacts with phone numbers to out.vcf,\nimport that file on your android phone.\n\nPress Enter to exit."
gets stdin
Is it so easy???
vCard format is ASCII
None ASCII chars are base64 encoded, so it's stull ASCII which makes this very easy to parse
The script can be written with ANY scripting / programming language it's very very easy, I just like TCL, and is my favorite for scripting.
There's a much easier and cleaner way to achieve what you want:
1. Go to settings/accounts and stop syncing contacts on your main Gmail account (the one you are using for email)
2. Create a second new account on Gmail and import your contacts.vcf
3. Back on your phone add this account and enable syncing contacts
4. Never use this new Gmail account for any email so your contacts list stays clean
Hope this helps

Thanks for the idea,
But still - I'd had to manually add my contacts to this account cause importing the vcf file would add all the junk i was trying to get rid of.
Or you can simply disable the listing of contacts that do not have a phone number associated with them..

That doesn't solve the speed problem, cause the contacts are still there.
That was the method i used before i found out it slowing down my phone.
Thanks for the guide, was easy to follow and saved me some grief!
All I did was removed all gmail contracts from gmail webbased and re-sync'ed contacts on my phone, phone is now clean
Thanks

Hi,
Use contacts display option( Click on physical menu buttion after opening contacts app) and customize your view. Just check the contacts folders you want to view.
Create a folder in Gmail contacts page and map all phone contacts to it.
No need to do delete and other stuff, you can manage their very easily.

Praveen.

Tclkit doesn't contains the executable tclsh, and so you are getting an error.
If you decided to use tclkit, you need to use "tclkit.exe <script-name>"

When I wrote this I was using Galaxy S,
The option for not showing contacts without numbers didn't help in regards of performance.
This is a great idea..much better than manually deleting 300 contacts from your phone...
Hi.
First shortcut what's this app for - it's token allowing to login on battle.net account (for example used in world of warcraft or starcraft 2). It has it's own serial number, generated randomly for each device, this serial number is entered on battle.net site and that's how those 2 things are connected. It generates 8 digit login code once every 30 secs. The code is based on the serial number naturally.
And now the case - I'm wondering - is there any chance to modify files of this application so I can enter the serial number from my first android device to my second device? My brother used to level me some of my chars in WoW, but since I'm using mobile token he cannot do that when I'm away. Now he bought an android phone, downloaded app but the S/N is obviously different so I'm willing to switch his so it will match mine. If You have any idea how to do this, or is this even possible I would be glad for helping
Regards.
Decompile the .apk file, search for your serial number. if you find it you can change it and recompile.
If you can't find it search dbdata/databases/package_name maybe it is generated on first launch and safed there.
Thats where i would start....
Use titanium backup and backup your apk then copy it his device. They should be the same.
I went through this issue. When you get your new phone log into your battlenet account remove the authenticator then move into your new phone download the authenticator and attach the new authenticator to your bnet account. I spent a hour on hold for blizzard customer service and had to give them to serial numbers off of my cds, to get them to take it off. So I could put another on.
Using Serial Number Changer for Xposed framework, you can set any string as your device serial number.
Note : Its just a temporary change, the real serial number is not changed.
Check out if it helps.
Hi guys,
I noticed that many of my Contacts have the "Notes" section filled with crap while others are nice and clean as you can see in the attached screenshots.
Can you please identify the problem?
Is it possible to mass-clean Contact notes leaving the field empty?
What could be causing this issue?
NOTE: Back in the days of using WM I backed up my contacts with PIMBackup and then used the instructions found in the forum about transferring the backup to Android by unziping the *.pim file generated by PIMBackup.
Thank you in advance,
F
The <htcdata> ones tell sense which are your favs and Facebook links.
The ones with the hex type code I'm not sure, could be the contact image that has been imported / exported into the wrong field somewhere down the line?
i see.. so is this fixable? ..is there a way I can mass-edit the notes field and delete all the crap?
i dont have an automated way, but what id do is use excel.. export the contact list to csv or xls (from outlook, or gmail, most will do it) and open it in <insert generic spreadsheet app here>, again sort by the notes field and you can drag and multi select the affected cells and delete them.

good idea I will try it!.. do you also have the same problem or you just do this to manage your notes contents?
EDIT: I cannot upload the edited .csv to Gmail... it sais error for some reason..
What I did was to Find and Replace "Notes Ink:*" with "Notes Ink: " since I could not sort the file by the Notes column... then Save csv then Import to Gmail => error...
EDIT2: editing seems to work properly with Google Documents ..lets see if syncing will now solve the problem!
EDIT3: Mr. samsamuel ...YOU ROCK
hehe, third times the charm.
can you tell me step by step how you did that ??
