I have 2 Nexus S, one has been updated to 2.3.3 so I can create my own tag. I created a contact tag and tried using my other NS (2.3.2) to read it, but nothing happens.
Does the NS reading the Tag need 2.3.3 too? It's not reading anything where ever I place it near the NS with Tag.
How do I test my NFC is working on both phones, that the hardware is working??
I have the same issue you are having. I would think the 2.3.2 phone should read it since it reads other nfc tags, but I am not sure.

Same here, the 2.3.2 device doesn't read the 2.3.3 tag
[OFFTOPIC]
Since you guys have 2 NS's, could you please take a photo of the screens next to each other so we can see the real difference between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3?
[/OFFTOPIC]
Sorry I can't test this!
The only way to delete "my tags" is to go to settings > applications > tap the all tab at the top and then find and tap "Tags", NOT "Nfc Service", now tap "force close" then tap "clear data".

Did you check the box to Share your Tag? An NFC icon should appear on the Status Bar now, also make sure there's a checkmark on the Tag you want to share.
And if you have a newer passport/passport card or a debit/credit card with Blink on it, you can test your Nexus S by swiping those (It'll come up with unknown tag)
looks like the nexus can't read contact tags, but if I create a url tag, the other nexus s can read it.

I liked to have my contacts ordered by last name, but I can't find that option on the Fasinate. On the Captivate for ATT it was in menu option at the contacts by pressing "MENU" then "MORE" and then "SETTINGS", and there you can change the "order of display name" to either "First Name Last Name" or "Last Name First Name"....
Like I said I like the Last Name First Name order, but can't find that option at all on the Fasinate....anybody know where it is at, if it's possible? And if it's not possible, what type of phone won't let you order contacts by the last name?!
anyone else having issues with facebook sync and contacts, my buddy said the ppl's FB pics are not syncing..
I believe that contacts sorting is a feature introduced in froyo 2.2
I don't see a sorting feature either, but for the record, my Facebook contact photos are syncing just fine. Note that I'm using the built-in Facebook sync option for that, not the Facebook app itself. I do have the Facebook app installed, but it's not configured to sync contacts.

Yea I had the Captivate before switching to Verizon and getting the Fascinate and it was there......argh.
Im learing the Fascinate is very cut down compared to the Captivate it seems. The only thing it has going for it to me off the bat is the ability to load non-market apps, but thats SUPER easy to enable on the Captivate, and I suppose you could count the camera flash. Other than that, Im not sure. Looks like I might be moving to the Vibrant now to see what it has to offer, haha.

Just a suggestion, but you might wanna try installing Dialer One, a free dialer app, the best one in my opinion. It has just about all the features you'd ever want in a dialer (including sorting by last name), and then some. Looks a whole lot nicer too, none of that kindergarten color scheme stuff.
Thanks, I hate first name sorting. I'll give that a shot.

While at the Verizon store tonight playing with the Fascinate and Droid X trying to find the phone for me, we downloaded this app as it would be necessary for me as I use my phone for business and have over 1500 contacts in the address book. Great app but how do you make it the default dialer on the Fascinate? We were able to make it default on the Droid X but not the Samsung. Any help here as this would be a deal breaker on my choice.
Load up the people widget.
It'll ask you to select a profile like favourite, co-worked or similar. Select favourite for now. Add someone to that fovourite prifile by pressing the + button on the bottom of the widget.
Now that person is stuck as a favourite forever. There is noting you can do to remove them. If go into the details for that person it will say Group = favourites. Go to edit the contact to remove them from the group and you won't have the option.
Sense 1.72 is one buggy bit of software! That with my SD card dismounting every five minutes, weather not updating my location and the sms bug, i kinda wish i hadn't upgraded.
(Note to self, only upgrade a month after release after keeping an eye on this forum)

Yeah I noticed that "feature" in the People widget too. Which is why after about the first two minutes of using it I decided that the People widget is useless and removed it from my desktop.
It amazes me how such a basic feature as removing a contact could be missed by the HTC developers. Almost as bad as making a top-end phone and then deciding to put an arse-end speaker in it.

Totally not true. You need to 'click' on the person's name (not the picture) then it brings the contact card and on the bottom you have 'edit contact'. Select that and then just edit the group by selecting 'favorites'. Easy as that.
Oh, and by the way - Sense rules .

Thats my point, editing it doesn't work. despite removing a contact from a group, it will still appear in the widget even though you have deleted them from the group. Try it...
Pick the widget up and drop it on the edit box, the one next to the remove box. Now tap favourites. Job done. I admit its not the most intuitive way of doing things but the functionality isn't missing as you claim.

I did and it works as it is supposed to. Removes the contact from the widget the moment it's removed from the favorites group. BTW I use the widget with the grid positioned contacts (the first one)

It won't work if you do it like that. What you need to do is go to the People app, go the Groups tab/column (for me it's on the right of the individual contacts tab), go to Favorites, touch Menu, select "Delete group member" and then mark the group member you wish to remove. Confirm and then it'll effectively delete the said group member from the list and the People widget.
I have Android version 2.2.1, updated on December 23. I live in the Philippines but I believe my Desire HD is from Spain as even the box and the Manual is in Spanish and I got the update for 2.2.1.

I use the widget with the grid contacts taking up one homescreen. =) And no, I think he's just... confused. I mean, I guess there is a bug but I seriously have not thought of doing it his way and the contact is certainly not stuck forever as a Favorites member.

No, I do it exactly the way he describes with one exception - it works. I think he can't figure out how to remove someone from a group. He just needs to unselect the favorites group. HTC Sense gives you the option for one contact to be in several groups (which is great), and so there is no option 'none' in group selection menu.

well guys...keep one thing in mind OTA updates are always not the best way to update... i had the same issue so the best way way is since the update is now attached to ur stock rom... hard reset ur fone.. this will ensure one shot update to 1.72 and bam...no more problems..use mybackuppro it will save all screen configuration..sms..contacts..calender entries..appa... and all.... tested on my dhd and now workin awsome...luv it...
UPDATE FYI: As far as I can tell from what I am hearing, this update is the same as the one in SOAK right now. I do not know if this is true, but the version numbers add up. Once the update goes live, we will see what happens.
I figured I would put this little change guide up for some of those who are on the fence about updating. So far I have updated and couldn't be happier. I will continue to update this when I find a new change or feel like going into more detail on some of these items.
Changes in 2.3.4
- Revamped UI: New MotoBlur, Different Color Scheme, New Icons
- New Apps: Rich Location, New Tasks App, Music Store, Help Center, Mobile HotSpot
- Updated Apps: Gallery App, Camera App, Camcorder App, Email App, Task Manager, Text Messaging App, Music App, Calendar App
- Profiles option: Choose between Everyday, Work, and Weekend
- New Settings: Media Audio Effects, SD Card Notifications, In-Pocket Detection, Unknown Sources and others
Motoblur -
- UI: The update implements the New Motoblur that has been seen on a few other phones. Included in this UI update is the ability to use multiple profiles. The Menu Dock has changed along with some locations of settings and menus.
We Also have some new Icons for several programs such as the Internet Brower. The Transition screens and the lock screen effect has also changed. When you turn off the screen now, it acts like the Gingerbread animation (CM7). The apps drawer also has sorting features now via a drop down menu.
Update: New feature added to the Notification Bar. You can now remove individual notifications from the list without affecting the rest of the notifications.
New Apps -
- Rich Locations: A new app similar to Google Maps that gives you local places, couples, and even local singles (match.com). You can even view local singles profiles.
- New Tasks App: Included is a tasks app that is rather quick and easy to use. Gives the option to send notifications to the task bar, and persistant reminders. Several different options for priority. No sync to google tasks though.
- Music Store: Well this one is rather obvious and if you don’t know how to use an app store or music store, please return your phone and purchase a dumb phone.
- Help Center: Guided Tours, Tips and tricks, User guide and FAQS.
- Mobile Hotspot: I have not tested this one, but from the menu options you are able to manage the hotspot information and the actual devices allowed to connect by typing in their mac addresses.
Updated Apps -
- Gallery App: Now shows Facebook photos, Camera Roll, My Library, Online Photos from Facebook. New Layout.
- Camera App: Changed the buttons to match the rest of MotoBlur
- Camcorder App: The HD video can now record more than 30 minutes at a time (using the full size of the storage medium), extra click to turn on the LED lights.
- Email, Calendar, and Text Messenger: Just UI improvements
- Task Manager: Seems to have small improvements, but basically the same as before with just a UI revamp
- Music App: Similar Changes as the Camera App. However there is now an option that allows Moto to identify your music and send “anon” info about your music preferences to Moto.
Multiple Profiles-
- Profiles: You now have three profiles to choose from (work, Everyday, and Weekends). As far as I can tell the same ringtones, silent settings, and what not apply to all three profiles and can not be individually set for each profile. It looks as if the Home Screens are the only things that change with the profile (widgets, background, app shortcuts).
The widgets in multiple profiles along with any live wall paper may contribute to battery drain similar to using multiple launcher. I have not tested this as I need my phone and do not want to waste battery testing it when I am still using it. If anyone wants to give it a go and post their results, please do so.
New Settings-
- Media Audio Settings: Multiple settings that include bass boost. May have been on the Froyo version but I have never seen them.
- SD Card Notifications: You can finally turn off the damned sound notification when your SD card is added or removed and when you boot the phone.
- In-Pocket Detection: It locks the phone when you put it in your pocket.
- Unknown Sources Checkbox: Yup it’s finally here and you can now check it and install the amazon app store without having to root your phone.
- Windows Media Sync: Allows you to choose where to sync your media from your PC.
- Secure Network Notification: You can now be notified when a secure network is available
- Peer to Peer (Ad-Hoc) Channel: Choose a channel to setup a Adhoc network.
- Text Message Reply: Gives the option to turn off the Send a text message to a phone caller.
- Contacts Settings: Allows you to change which contacts are visable. Rather nice if you ask me
Updates:
- SD Card Data Encryption: Finally a feature we all wanted!
- Device Encryption: No more police officers looking at your phone...at least in some districts.
- Blue tooth Bypass: Allows you to bypass your bluetooth device and use the voice commands on the phone vs. the bluetooth.
- Advanced IPSec VPN: Not entirely certain if it works or not. We all know it didn't before, so if anyone can test it and let me know, that would be great.

For the most part, rich locations is an rss feed app mixed with a gps mapping system that gives you local information such as restaurants, coffee shops, local singles ads, and coupons from various websites such as yelp, match.com and so on.
Sort of like places on google maps but with a twist. I doubt I will use it often around town, but it would come in handy when I was on vacation and what not.

I am enjoying my update for what it's worth.
New Blur!
I have to say, I kind of liked Motoblur's functionality in Froyo, but it was just so damn slow... The new Motoblur (or whatever they want to call it now) is finally usable, and looks very nice
Some parts seem a bit slower now (e.g., the integrated webpart in Pulse), but still very smooth.
I don't regret updating - finally a Moto Android worth having!
it's awesome.
I am really liking the new screen off animation.

Hi all,
I've today installed '[ROM]29-02-2012 | IceColdSandwich - 4.1.1 - AOKP | HIGH DEF EDITION' on my HTC Desire HD and am loving it! My only issue I've come across so far is that unlike my old gingerbread contacts list, contacts with the same name or simular are not linking together. Also contacts from other apps like whatsapp and viber would all link up making the address book far easier to find people. Am I missing something obvious here? I've searched the options on the phone and don't seem to be able to find anyone else with this issue... On installing the new ICS ROM, I've factory reset and wiped dalvic battery etc. I also figured it would be a good time to format my SD card so that was even clean on install. Does anyone else get this issue or have a solution to get 'linking' working?
Thanks to anyone that can help in advance,
James
Click on contact. Hit Menu. Edit. Hit Menu. Then join and that will join with other contact you select
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
so it will not suggest links as before? This is going to be a loooooong task to do it all manually
No but when u select join it guesses which. Contact you would want to join at the top of the list
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
i'm also using ICS 4.1.1 from lord and i also came across this "issue".
the funny thing is, that it automatically linked most of my contacts together, but not all of them. in that process of linking them manually i also noticed that in the "link-list" there is no search possibility. so when you want to link a contact you have to scroll down the whole list manually. very annoying.
i also have a question which confuses me a little bit: when you open a contact, there is a point which says "connection" with an "add connection"-button (or something very similar... can't remember exactly right now). is that the same if i hit the "join" button in the edit-page?

Why is everybody so amazed of the Popup Player?
Just download Super Video from the PlayStore and you get a Popup Player with more features and widgets
Has anyone tried the signature unlock feature? Is it as much of a gimmick as the face unlock feature?
Is that all?

What were you expecting? It's just a point release mostly for maintenance/bug fixes to core ICS.
To be honest, I'm surprised Samsung included pop up play for the Note!
