I have used several iterations of PocketCM, 0.23 being the last one before going to 0.24. I uninstalled 0.23 properly and put 0.24 on. For some reason it's really flaky when it comes to showing the message threads. It will display correctly that there are text messages for a certain person, but when I click on that person, it will either say "No Messages", or it will only show some of the messages, usually just the most recent one. If I go back and forth enough times, it will show all the messages, then if I go back and forth again, only part of the messages (usually the most recent ones) will be there. Same goes for messages that I sent, they show up right after they have been sent, but when I come back right after looking at the contacts, the messages that I have written will have disappeared, just to come back again along with all the others at some time later.
PocketCM is installed in device memory.
I have cleared out all my messages just to make sure nothing was corrupt there, so I am working with all new messages.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
I have used different themes.
I leave it running in the background at all times so that the longish initial load time won't slow my phone down.
Am I the only one with that problem, or has anyone else encountered this.
I have a Sprint Touch with the original 6.0 ROM.
Thanks for any help!
i have seen this too....only on one contact...the one person i have a picture set for that i also sms with....why don't you post this in the pocketcm thread???
Which one? There's quite a few....questions like these usually get lost in big threads like that
Did you have the same problem with an earlier version of PocketCM? All my previous versions worked fine as far as that was concerned.
I get the same thing too. its intermittent. im sure it's a little bug they'll fix soon..
Ok cool....thanks... thought my phone was going crazy or something!
mine as well. i've opened a thread in tene's forum: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?15,10912. Please post a comment there so he know that it's a common problem.

I deleted the contact picts and i have not had a problem since.
But...but....I want my contact pictures in there, that's part of what makes this app so cool...especially with the mirror effect! I hope Tene can fix this when he has some time!
Hi All,
I am going to be getting my new HD2 tomorrow (CANT WAIT) at the moment I have a TP2 and need something faster thing drives me mad sometimes.. Anyway back to the point I am going to be using Microsoft Myphone to sync everything up and then back down to my HD2 and basically wanted to know if this will work well, any problems experienced from other users etc.
Thanks in advance,
Charles Hurst.
I moved from a diamond to an hd2. the process was slow because I moved all my photos that way - but all my contacts, messages etc got moved. Apps and settings won't go though.

Yes mate - I literally could not recommend it more!
I went from a Touch HD to the HD2 and I'd already been using MyPhone as an automated backup service for a couple of months, so I was confident it would work.
It's also handy for when I flash new ROMs onto the phone. I have it backup everything except the storage card, and it works a treat.
I assume you'll still have the TP2 in case you do anything wrong, so you won't actually lose anything. It's real easy anyway, so I doubt that.
As mentioned above though, it obviously doesn't do apps. Also, if you can, connect to Wifi before doing it, as it can take a while 1st time.
Other than that, welcome to the fun that is HD2
Yes, I second the "use wifi". You may also find it time out now and again, I did. But it picks up where it left off.
If you're near a PC though I recommend that for pictures and such like, and using MyPhone for contacts, messages, notes blah de blah
Great
Great many thanks guys, only worry I have is that it does not put my text back correctly with each contact as I had this before with SBS backup (I think its called) all the text were just everywhere. Guess I will wait and see, cant wait to show off my HD2 to mates who have Iphones LOL
Thanks again,
Charles Hurst.
I showed my HD2 to a mate who has an iPhone, and his exact words were:
"Jesus, I thought MY phone was big!"
It's a lovely weighty size
Anyway, MyPhone shouldn't garble your contacts at all - same format in both phones!
Just syncing as we speak *fingers crossed* looks good so far though, the phone seems amazing and so fast its f**king incredible compared to using the TP2...
One thing thats odd it never come with facebook app on Vodafone but cant be hard to find.
Thanks again for your help.

Depending on what you want to do with facebook, you may not need it. Using the default integration with Sense, you can link your contacts to facebook so you can see their status updates (you have to actually go to the page where these are shown though - there's no notifications), set your own status, upload photos, browse friends' albums.
If you want more, there's always the facebook app, and http://m.facebook.com which is a nice lite version of the site.
Hello everyone!
Just recently I got the 2.2 OTA for my Droid (rooted) and I'm absolutely loving it, except for one thing: the new MMS app. I strongly dislike the new look; I don't want to see my own profile icon and I definitely don't want to see several of each icon. I really liked the way the Eclair MMS app looked, and I really liked seeing my friends' facebook statuses next to their contact icon.
I've tried replacing the Froyo Mms.apk with the Eclair Mms.apk, which could display everything and worked perfectly fine except for when I actually went to send a message. It would force close and never show that the message actually sent, even though I got replies back, so I know they sent. Also, in order to get this to work, I had to remove Mms.odex. Once I saw that the Eclair app displayed everything and seemed to work fine, I (foolishly) erased my backup of Mms.odex and now I can't run the standard Froyo Mms.apk. Luckily, I did find a modified app that I can use in the meantime, so I'm not totally out of luck right now.
Is there any way to get the old Eclair MMS app/look back? I would REALLY love it! And please don't just suggest Handcent or Chomp. I've tried them and I just don't like them. I went through all the styling and customization options and I just couldn't get it to look like I want. All I want is the old Eclair app back, not alternatives (unless they look almost identical to Eclair's). If it's impossible, I guess I'll deal with it, but "impossible" and "Android" don't really go together...
Thanks in advance!
edit:
I attached two screenshots taken out of an emulator, just in case anyone isn't familiar (why you'd need to see them, I dunno, but I figure more info is better).
Bump. This is a good question. I hadn't really even though about how much better the 2.1 vs 2.2 SMS/MMS app. I knew there was something different but thank you for laying it out. I'm having a problem where the app isn't posting my icon. It is synced with my Facebook contacts so I don't see why it doesn't show my avatar, and if it isn't supposed to then why even change it? No sir, I don't like it. If there is any way to downgrade to the earlier messaging app I would very much be interested in knowing.

if its the problerm im thinking of, you need to make a Me contact, and put your picture there
Shameless bump. Still driving me crazy. Hoping there's an alternative by now?
I don’t see a thread like this so I would like to start one
I have noticed a ton of changes in the stock DL30 build and there are still some i probably haven’t ran into yet. I think it would be fun to see what changes people have noticed. . I know a lot of these are in the original leak thread but that thread is too saturated with questions and issues people are having.
I would kind of like to keep it clean so I would like to see lists of changes only and not a ton of questions.
I will start off with a few things I have noticed so far. I have left out some of the obvious things that comes with froyo but feel free to add them if you wish
-Facebook syncs contacts automatically. No need to get friends and then check the ones you want from Facebook
-You can now manually join contacts. Maybe you could do this before?
-You can now use custom ringtones for contacts that aren’t local on the phone
-You can use media files for ringtones
-Can now use multiple exchange accounts
-Can now use out of office for exchange accounts
-Can use pin unlock even though it doesn’t work because it says you need a symbol
-New theme which I actually like.
-Has new e-mail and text counts on the Touch wiz icons
-Can use media or voice tones for alarm
-The sliding thingy when you are typing, makes it much easier to correct spelling mistakes
-Can change fonts
-Media hub added
-Includes Samsung keyboard which I prefer over the others now
-Dock now works!
Only thing I don't like is that you have to enable background data in order to do anything related to data. Never had to do that before.
Anyone got yahoo email setup on the new DL30? I tried to read email (HTML based) from like amazon and other spam I usually get and now it say message too long, cant not display.
Anyone getting that too?

Email count on the home screen is awesome....
jv
Few things I noticed so far:
For exchange accounts it lets you choose seperate peak and off peak sync times which is cool.
The notifications has an auto-rotation on/off button along with your wifi, bt etc. But it doesn't really work with your homescreens unless you install laungher pro or something.
Signal strength has definitely increased.
Also, after I got DL30, I was asked to update camera firmware, and that added a couple of minor changes to camera.
Also forgot to mention that while in Car or Desk cradle the home screen now is landscape. Also when you get calls when on either the call screen is landscape!!! can you say "Awesome"!!!!
jv
And I am sure everyone is dying to know this, they replaced blockbuster with media hub.
Couple of things, keep in mind I was rooted running a custom ROM previously and now have LP running:
1. I like the changes to gmail (I was used to 2.2 gmail from my droid, took me a sec to figure where the send button moved to)
2. For whatever reason, after flashing and restoring apps with Titanium, I was debinged, however, that applies to voice search and all functions of the car dock aside from basic search. Hence, none of those functions work (voice search, navigation, maps. Not a deal breaker..just an observation.
3. The battery icon seems likes it's not even tied to the actual charge amount. Again..no big deal, I use simi clock and I check my battery there.
4. Gallery renders FAST..
5. Market still on old version...hasn't updated yet.
Haven't had a chance to really check any flash websites but will get around to it.
Issue with back button from contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.
Be sure to open up the camera app. New firmware there.
I also noticed some of the bloat apps I had to remove when I first got my phone are gone. CityID immediately comes to mind (which I thought was the worst thing ever!), but I also noticed the Kindle app is missing and someone already mentioned Blockbuster. I thought they were more, but my memory is escaping me now.
The stock music player is also different, but this is my first Android device and thus first experience with 2.2, so this might just be a froyo thing. When I'm playing music and turn the screen off, when I turn it back on to the lock screen, there's a piece of CD hanging from the top of the screen. This can be pulled down to control the music. I never noticed this before, but I also may have never used the music player with the puzzle lock screen. Anyway, it's a cool feature that I dig. If I change to the AOSP lock screen (which I like way more than the puzzle lock), will this feature still be present?
I found a workaround for the Exchange pin issue.
If you setup a PIN before you setup your Exchange account from settings-> location & security-> screen unlock, it will work. You'll still see the message about device security needing to be setup at first but it will start syncing and not ask again.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This was the main thing that bugged me on this rom and i was able to get around it. If you have the security policies already pushed you can go into Device administrator and remove the one for your exchange account, then go change your PIN, after a while your e-mail account will tell you that you need to enable the security policy again.
Thanks again!

Glad this worked for you. As an Exchange Administrator and user, this is one of the best features of Froyo!!! No more full keyboard to enter PIN.

3. Yeah I noticed that also. It was showing all blue but when I go into settings it shows battery at 80%. Oh well.
5. Must have just updated Market because I went in a few minutes ago and it's showing the newest one.
Love this new update.
jv
How can you tell if its the new market? What changed? Also, tried some web sites for flash but doesnt want to play. I'll have to try with a different browser.

Yup, CityID, Blockbuster, Kindle, the demos for Need for Speed and Tetris and a few others.
I'm wondering if this was an early version of 2.2, before they had a chance to add all that crap in. Would be nice if Verizon listened to their customers and actually choose to leave that stuff out in 2.2.
you have to go to the market and download adobe flash player 10.1
i have noticed SIGNIFICANT battery/signal strength increase.. I was barely able to get 16 hours out of my battery before and now mines been on for 14 hours and its still at 60 percent.. my time without a signal was at like 30% on DL09 or DJ05 and now its at 4% without a signal. much more memory available.. could be because im using super clean tho..
HI All
Im an ex-apple Fan boy....who has had his Galaxy S4 for 3 days.
The Good.
Responsive as hell
Camera Rocks
SD card should be a standard on all cell phones no matter who makes them
Love the vivid colors.
The Bad
My first problem was with the brand new version of gmail. Every time i got mail in my notifications....instead of a list view it was a giant mother notification and then a few small ones after that. I later learned you can resize that with a swipe of your hand...then that if you uninstall the update that, that would fix it. It did....kinda. I then tried the samsung mail app...which sucked. It didnt scale to fit the content. I tried aquamail...which was ok, but not as responsive as gmail.
Second. Browsers. I know there are like a thousand of them. I started with the stock browser (which i ended up liking the best). But i had a major glitch. Every time i tried to do a google search and use search tools (time..place) it would die on me. Either freeze of would not recognize what i was trying to do. I tried them chrome...ehh, boat...ehh, next. double ehh.
I contacted a rep from samsung....and he told me to try wiping the cashe...try this try that. Even tried a factory reboot.
Nothin...
Then he tells me i might have a lemon.
Wonderful. What the ^#%#[email protected]!! are the odds that i want to try android for the first time and i get brick.
Everything else works great....but im unsure what to do. The two things i use this phone for more then anything else....email and browsing dont work.
Anyone have any helpful hints at a fix?
Thanks

Did you try to update to the latest firmware available? It may worth trying see if it fixes your problems.
If you only use Gmail, try Boomerang email app. They will also feature other email providers in the near future...
For the browsing issues I recommend you try dolphin browser. It's quick, stable, feature packed, has a bunch of add-ons available, and supports Adobe flash.

I was also qurious to find out if there are any heat issues while gaming.
And bro, use something from the store, now that I think of it, I'm not using a single stock app. Even the gallery.
