Hello.
I've been searching on Google and this forum and I can't find an answer.
If I have a contact with a Windows Live Messenger IM address then I can select an option to chat with that contact and this bring up an IM app which once configured with my Windows Live account shows all my WL contacts and lets me chat with them. That's good but I can't find a way to launch that IM app directly, without having to go to contacts first.
Does anybody know a way to do it?
Thanks.

I wasn't able to get the facebook app to search. It doesn't seem to accept the CR key from HD2 keyboard.
so theres no way of searching for contacts to add in the fb app
yea.. you are just going to have to load up your mobile internet browser.. and do it from there..
the windows mobile facebook app just suxx..
better go directly to the original page, even if its some secs slower, its better :/
Don't know what you guys are talking about; I can use search function (by using menu -> search). But I installed latest version of Facebook.
Facebook has many features that can help you in your search for groups, networks, as well as people. One feature you can use is the advanced search option. With this searching option, you can look for anybody, anywhere, and at any time by location, profession, and school among others. This is just one way for you to search for someone on Facebook.
Hi,
is it possible to use the android calendar without a google account?
Can we mod it to use it without google? I mean mod source code and compile it new?
Could some one do it?
Can i install a google account on defy without internet?
Mod?
Tool?
Hack??
Big thanks for help!
Bye
I think you can, but I haven't tried having removed the stock Calendar app already. BTW, there are some alternative calendar programs that don't use the built-in database, such as Fliq.
You can always change the codes yourself, but from the way you raised the question I don't think you know how to do (and nor do I), and I doubt if anyone is interested in doing this. Of course, if you're willing to pay a reasonable bounty then it's another question...
Finally, an Internet connection is needed for setting up a Google account.
Maybe if you tell us what you actually want to do, then we can give some more useful suggestions.
Hi, thanks for answer.
I only know jorte, how has got his own database.
All other software usere the google account.
Id like to have a google free sync android, which i must not show every time, if it has synced with google server.
Please, can you tell me which devices have got a own calendar which not use the google calendar?
The google calendar looks realy nice.
Why no one want a google free and without sync calender?
Btw i cant mod the code.
Iam not a coder, only admin.
Can i activate the calendar without a google account?
so that i can use a second software how uses the calendera database?
Big thanks
You can activate a Google account without syncing your Calendar, Contacts and such with Google. They can be disabled in Settings.
If you want to go a bit further, just remove the respective *Sync.apk from /system/app (search for posts on how to remove system apps) provided that you've rooted your device.
This is all?
But is the system app *sync.apk only for google sync?
Or can i even sync with mypohone explorer any more?
Yes.
Yes.
Solution?
Hello,
I had the same problem and i found out that Jorte ( found on android market ) did do the thrick for me. It is pretty standalone. Notice that of you want notifications ( sounds etc ) in Jorte that you need to configure that in the original agenda of defy.
Hope this is your solution, regardings Rick
It IS possible
Hi,
I have CM7 installed, at first without GoogleApps. Then it is not possible to use the native calendar program. But, if flash gapps, bot NOT login or create a new account, the calendar app works fine, though.

Hi, how have you installed CM7 on Defy?
I found out another trick on my SE LWW. After installing CM9.1 with GApps i replaced the Calendar.apk with native SemcCalendar.apf from official Firmware, but FC. After replacing google's Calendar.apk back i was able to use in normally.
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
Hi,
I have a HD2 running gauner's Desire HD ROM (magldr), and I want to try and windows 7 ROM but i cannot find any way to transfer my texts and contacts over.
Anyone find any ways to do this ?
Cheers
If they are Google contacts then that's easy and happens automatically when you sign into your Google account.
I am however in the same boat of trying to migrate my call history and text messages.

Hey, yeah i've got the contacts via google which is working great, now just for the messages, not so bothered about call history.
Just one other thing, i've synced with facebook, but I want to remove all my facebook-only contact from the people contact book, any way to do this?
Cheers

I ran into this same thing and I don't think you can avoid it other than NOT signing in to Facebook in the contacts section. there is a Facebook app in the Market if all you want is to be able to check Facebook on your phone.

In the settings, there is the people application settings menu. It will sync only existing Facebook contacts.
Hello, i am getting the above message while adding a new contact.

Bump for same problem here.
Did you find any solution yet?
No, sadly i didnt. As long as i dont sign into the google account, android let me choose to add and store a contact either "local" or "Sign in online"
But as soon as i log into my google account to use the market, the contacts app gives me the message "Your new contact will be synchronized with [email protected]" and only let me choose "Add new account" or "OK" to confirm this.
But i don't want to confirm to store my contacts online.
So the best solution would be, to get this option "local" back.
I rly refuse to click on "OK" hehe. I rly save my new contacts in text files now, i have no other choice atm.
That's courageous. I rolled back to Gingerbread, personnaly.
Yah, i will too. There isnt much difference compared to GB. And i wont take this kind of googles forced data collecting.

Swichted back. Installing DroidWall seem to prevent Android going to sync contacts. Those bastards had all of my contacts synched. Even with sync disabled. As******* check out googles dashboard.
So install DroidWall and only allow programms you trust internet access. There is no need to grant android internet access, especially not the contacts and calendar app... what the hell.. thinking about going back to nokia with symbian as long as its supported. Very nice phones there
Peace
