how do i add a contact to my sim? i can only add it to the phone but i can't even export that number to my sim card....wtf..
also why does it ask me to sync when i add a new contact? i don't want to damn sync my personal numbers to your damn database , damn google. there's no add to even add new contacts without agreeing for it to be sync. then once you add the number to your phone, you can even export it to your sim card...why''??!?!
this phone continues to piss the sh*t out of me, actually not the phone, the phone is ok, but android and their stupid design....simple things that a simple flip phone does, this phone does not even have?

Is this a question or a rant? Don't know why you would want to add contacts to sim card. You can store much more information through Google sync, and you don't risk losing all your contacts if the sim card goes bad. Its nice when I get a new android phone it syncs all of the contacts immediately and I don't have to do anything.
To answer one of your questions, I do not think there is a way to do it.

good for you, not for me. just cause you like something and it's preference don't mean that someone else will like it. i thought people would learn this by now. it's annoying that every topic there's a smartass pushing their own preferences on other people. just cause you like lady gaga don't mean i do. i don't care bout storing "much more information" i just want to store simple numbers and a contact name. i like being able to take my sim card and use it with most phone and have all my contacts there, without having to go through stupid process.
"and what if the sim card goes bad?"
1) very very rare occasion
2) that's why the information is on the phone too smartass
i don't want google storing my numbers, i don't want to have to sync to add simple numbers to a sim card. i don't want to add my personal numbers/contacts on the cloud. is that too much for you to understand?
anyway, there is a third party app that does this, thanks alot google! fail design.
also there's no "vibrate then ring option", are you damn serious? are you going to tell me that "vibrate then ring" is "old technology too"....don't be a dumbass.

Holy crap get a new phone!
Sure all these features are my preferences, but Google puts these things in place for convenience for most users. I didn't mean to come off an ass, but this is just the way that technology is going. Sim cards rarely go out, you are correct, but recently I had one go out on an old phone and so did my wife. Plus not every phone uses a Sim card, so for those individuals who decide to use Verizon or sprint, or some other CDMA service, the option of importing/exporting contacts to/from Sim card isn't available.

not everyone is programmer who can add functions to an OS. not every programmer is going to waste time programming functions that should have been included as a basic feature that is included in most phones. you see the point? google only implemented this so they have can more people using their services = more $$. that's all. they could have easily added this. this is amongst the least of simple functions they failed to included but it's the basic of most other smartphones OS.
anway, your consensus is equivalent to nothing in the real world since you're nobody. . i didn't know this forum had so many trolls, worse than youtube. anyway, have fun acting like a smartass and putting people down on forums LOL. it says alot about your personality in real life.

This will do vibrate then ring for you. I tested it and seems to work fine.
Call me old-fashioned but for me Android is an OS for tech enthusiasts who delight in tinkering with their devices to do things that the manufacturers didn't implement rather than people who must complain at every opportunity because what they wanted wasn't served up on a silver plate. If you want an OS that babies to your every need them maybe Android is really not for you.

simple functions like a volume control in the music player and add sim to contact, both of which are ubiquitous their music players and phones, respectively, is "babying"???? simple functions like that should the basic. if they can't even add those, that says alot of their design when you have to rely on third party apps to get it done. as for the ring and vibrate. anyway, i downloaded audacity and i edited the ringtone to have a delay in the intro. no need for more battery draining third party apps. i have to waste time to even get a simple function like that. Yes android is about people tinkering with the OS and having fun with it, NOT about people have to waste time to get simple functions to work.
anyway, i'm done with this thread. delete it if you wish.
Simple functions but not ones most people actually use. Google didn't implement them because they are not popular features but the OS is flexible enough that people can actually make them work if they want. If that's too much work for you then, well, good luck.

if your worried about your information being in the cloud then you should be using a dumb phone.
All smart phones will import and use google contacts. It works great and I never loose them. You can look them up via your email if someone steals your phone.
BTW> THIS IS THE WRONG PHONE FOR YOU.
You do realize you can just turn off contact sync in Google, under the Accounts in Settings, right? I hate to break it to you, but I don't think Android is for you.

Tried and Tested Method Save New contacts to SIM / RUIM card
Well friends, there is a need to put some private entries on SIM. Let me explain.
My wife and me are both professionals working with the same set of professional contacts. Hence I use My Phone Explorer to sync our Phonebook, Notes, Tasks and Calender to be identical and concurrent.
To keep my personal contacts / friends (and hers for that matter) out of the Sync list we would prefer to leave them on my SIM and her RUIM (CDMA) card.
Here is how you do it.
Open "People".
Select "Menu" and then "View"
Keep only "Sim" ticked and untick everything else.
Go back to "People" and you shall only see SIM contacts.
Select Add and fill in the details and you are done.
This is how I do it for my old HTC Salsa Android 2.3.1 and Galaxy Y CDMA. (Menus differ slightly between manufacturers)
Others may need a slightly different method

Got a Vibrant yesterday to "try out" the android world for the first time. Must say I'm impressed by the phones performance out of the box even with all the bloatware and crap on it. I've been a windows mobile guy for quite some time now, so the people that know both platforms well, know they are two completely different monsters. My two options were the hd2 (since i know the WM world pretty well) or learn a whole new platform with the vibrant.
I like it so far, but also miss some of the things from WM (or rather miss knowing my phone well). I guess i just have to start from zero and get acquainted with it first.
Any suggestions on getting the bare down scoop of the platform and such as far as learning it from the ground up? The sticky explains how to do these things, but I need something more basic...I just wanna become proficient in the android world as I am in the WM world starting from zero.
Its hard to say where to start, the best thing about android is the customization. Playing with phone is the only way you are gonna learn, I have been an android owner since day one and am still learning new things everyday. If there is something I don't know I simply come here since this is the best android community on the web. Hope you enjoy IMO the best android phone on the market.

I didn't have those questions. I mean the first thing i did was move avatar to my 16gb msdhc into it and go wild with my music, photo, and videos...which I'm amazed how good of sound/video quality i get on this.
I thought more of like where do how do I view flash websites, how do i stream live .pls live music streams, or smaller things like hiding apps from the notification area at the top left when they are running, or resizing certain widgets, removing some of the applications that came with the phone from t mobile, mapping buttons to do different things based on holding them down or tapping a certain amount of times, things like that that aren't explained in the user manual. Or even like right now, I'm trying to make a call and it says: "Call not sent"...well? whyyyyyyyyy? so many questions!
I don't know, I guess all this is just part of the familiarization process and will sooner or later find them out whether by experience or hunting down resources why certain behaviors and actions happen.

haha that seems to be a problem with any gps enabled phone nowadays. Happened with the fuze and after months and months of tweaking and tweaking we got a hang of it. I tried the GPS yesterday on my way home from work yesterday and did not get a lock, i went ahead and downloaded gps test today to see if that will unlock it before using the gps software. We shall see! Thanks for the heads up tho!
edit: I guess gps test on android works differently than on WM. On WM it scans through your COM ports and gets a fix for you to then use your gps navigation software.

Yeah thats what ive been doing. Thats another thing that amazes me about android, soooo many apps, and they are all centralized into one easy, convenient location. In wm you would find a few in the marketplace, and the rest u had to hunt down either on the forum or the web. This is slowly growing on me
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Coming from WM myself, (and just recently and very reticently turned over my beloved Wizard to my mom) the fun and unfun I have with Android:
Apps are so dratted cheap. Have at it.
Cloud connectivity. I use Picasa all the time now. It took me a while to get used to Google contacts, especially first name alphabetization, but I like it now.
You might want to look at subscribing to CompanionLink. It reliably syncs everything Outlook with your Google account (thus your phone).
Almost nothing was built into Android 1.0. Not much was added through 1.5. Some stuff has been added since, like Facebook sync, but custom ROMs don't add stuff. There's an app for everything. There has to be.
The app drawer is a hassle. I use FolderOrganizer (and ADW Launcher) to quell my addiction to organization beyond alphabetical.
It's fun to watch a few things catch up with WinMo and hear all the Android users brag about how great it is. Like app-specific auto-rotation. There's an app for it out now, but it actually costs something you'll think about, and it eats a hunk of RAM. They're just getting into animated GIFs. Lists and their apps aren't anywhere near ListPro, but they almost all have some way to sync to the cloud.
Office documents created on a PC don't always work with the Office apps that are out there. Don't bother with DocumentsToGo, but Sheadspreet is good (you have to convert first) and I'm trying OfficeSuite, and it seems the best. 30-day trial, $15. It's still not WinMo, though.
For those things you don't sync with the cloud, you can't just throw stuff in your My Documents Folder and rely on that backup. DropBox is a good app/service, and GoogleDocs is your friend. Most apps back up thier specific data to your SD, but on this phone, it's on the internal SD. You have to manually handle your backups, or do Nandroid backups (another worthwhile Google).
You have to install an app to install apps not from Market. Instead of exes their apks.
There's no Total Commander. I like Root Explorer. Astro is feature-filled. There are a million file explorers, and every one of them will have its advocates.
Flashing ROMs is tons easier, but you have to root first.
The Android world moves a lot faster. If you're off the forums for a week you'll feel like you've been in a coma for months. On the flip side, if you're waiting for something to get developed, waiting a few days feel like eternity.
Android devs work harder for a lot less, or no money; it's truly inspiring.
Before you go buying the first app that does what you want, check Market for more that do the same thing. I've found that there's a free alternative to almost everything. The paid versions/apps are more luxurious in one way or another, usually, but a little research can save you a bunch of regret.
Widgets suck RAM. Before you know it you've got 25 and you're wondering why your Home screen is lagging. Phones are finite. Even these.
CM is CyanogenMod. Google it, it's worth it. They started on XDA and it got out of control, so they have their own site now, although the threads still hanging on XDA re CM are a much more interesting read. It seems to be the most popular set of ROMS for a variety of devices. I follow and flash them (the ROMs, that is. I dont want the devs to hate me).
Double entendres are rampant. It's Google.
Once you get your apps organized, you'll be surprised at how smoothly your phone useage goes. Frankly, it's just more fun, and much cheaper, to play with.

I have searched the boards and I think I know what exactly motoblur is....but I still would like to know what exact functions I will lose if I go to a ROM that does not include motoblur. The one thing I would hate to lose is my facebook sync where I can see status updates when I call someone. Is that a part of blur?

Facebook is part of Fission so I assume it isn't considered Blur
The status update in your contacts are part of blur. You might try the Fused ROM if you want the best of both options for your needs.
blur: malicious software that assumes your a 15 year old girl who does nothing but use social networks all the damn day and gets really upset if you dont know what becky is thinking when she thinks it...
also blur assumes that you have a power socket in your hip so you can constantly charge your phone because after all it takes some power to keep pushing you all those updates...
(thats what i think of it anyway, some people like it but its not for me)

I know people might not answer this, but what the hell, you never know.
I'm a programmer; good old fashioned programmer. That's what I do. I've coded in Assembler, PASCAL, RPG II/III, COBOL, C/C++, SQR (a DB language), Easytreive (mainframe), CICS (more mainframe), JCL (mainframe "language"), JAVA and now Android.
Currently unemployed due to crappy market and my location. I've coded a couple of apps and they are on the market selling, albeit slowly.
My problem is, I'm NOT creative LOL IMO, I can code the pants off anything, but I'm just not good at coming up with ideas. I think it's that "left brain, right brain" thing!
Anyone care to throw out some app ideas? Seems like I think of stuff, but it's "been there, done that" on the market. I have my own hosted site and ability to store 10 gigs of database data if that helps.
I'm not interested in doing games or themes or wallpapers (remember, NOT creative!) LOL
I'm new at coding and I have ideas coming out of my ears, so to speak, but I don't have the means (knowledge) to make them a reality. How familiar are you with the android sdk and APIs? I'm kinda new at this, having only released one app into the market. I would like the help of an experienced coder. Check out my website www.fufurinnovations.blogspot.com to see what I'm working on. Thanks in advance
I am looking for an app like Mail Tones for Blackberry that alerts you with a different tones for selected email contacts. By default the notification tone for all incoming emails is just one for all. I tried Mail Alerts but it is very unreliable. Maybe you like this idea? This is a very helpful app in BB since it lets you know when an important email comes up without looking at the screen. Weird that there is only one app in the Market and it just doesn't work.
And what about another app like a camera add-on that lets you level all your pictures using the inclinometer and allows you to take pictures having always the horizon line leveled.

I need, and many android users will agree, that sms messages do not need to be kept forever. I want an app, an addon, an alteration whatever that deletes old messages up to a set time period... 7 days, 14 days, 31 days etc.
If I had a text from o2 highlighting the fab new offers I ignore it and 30 days later its automatically deleted!

I actually thought that the app called Theodolite was going to do this but it was actually a triangulation app. In any case, it comes with an inclinometer that allows you to measure the angle of the camera in x and y. It has a measurement of angles kind of like the vision from Terminator, very cool, but then if you take the picture, those measuring things stay in the picture and the picture itself comes out at a lower resolution so it is not really a photography app, its a measurement app. It could be cool to have a bip once you get the camera/phone leveled with the horizon line.
Cameras nowadays don't come with this feature? You can then sell them the program...

How about an app that is able to identify if someone in the area is running android and to be able to strike up a gtalk convo via invite. idk if that'd be possible.
WOW! Thanks to all the repliers (is that a word? LOL). Oh my, there's an idea right there for my database space...a dictionary or thesarus!
Some very, very good ideas out there and I DO appreciate them very much. I can definitely see 2 or 3 apps that I can start working on.
Keep the ideas coming and I'll get my fingers going on development of some of the replies up to this point.
Thanks again!
Figure out bluetooth hid in sense roms or video out for aosp roms.
Hello,
An application that encrypt/decrypt phone conversations in real time between two android phones could be nice...

One app i really think is missing is a good working RSS-reader which makes it possible not to juggle between the RSS-reader and a browser.
An example would be a super simple reader like Google Reader that can open up the posts in background inside the reader, having the same possibilities as a browser.
I am tired of HTC sync not working right with custom roms. I need something (app or software) that will sync my pc Outlook contacts and calendar with android phone. There is a need for business people that want to use their android phone for business! IMHO

I don´t know if exist an app that can do what I want...so...here it is the idea:
It´s an app that can change the apps icons in the drawer...like the one we use to change icons in desktop....but....for the drawer...
Or maybe a widget for app launcher...I know there ir a lot of it....but make one like the objetdock for windows...if you know what I mean...
Cheers! and thank...
i have many great ideas, but im not a programmer...my only problem with you is that you seem to want people to GIVE you their ideas...like recently, i had someone develop a clock widget for me in which i provided the graphics...we are splitting the profits 50-50...so maybe if you could make an agreement like that or a 60(you)-40(me) agreement then i might be able to help you out...and you could help me

Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that ...my bad.
Of course I would be willing to split profits on a joint-effort project. And, I'm terrible with graphics design and the like. And sometimes, the user interface can make or break the applications (people like "Wow, cool" or flashy app interfaces).
I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" guy; input your data, get info back LOL
So yes, I'm willing to pursue a multi-person project as I think it's beneficial to both parties, not only monetarily, but the possibility of learning from each other.
Thanks,
Roots
Im sorry, i didnt mean to come off rude, lol...and im good with photoshop and UI ideas...i have no degree in anything just to let you know, im a self taught 17 year old, who like i said has no programming skills just ideas...i will get back to you though...im currently working on trying to update this other app i have
So, It's that time when my company renews my contract and it get a new phone. What I was thinking is that my kids are little angry bird, and fruit ninja freaks and how cool would it be if they could use my vibrant like a mini tablet. This would keep my gtablet and my new phone out of their hands.
Does anyone know if I could remove the phone and dialing apk from the phone without jacking the phone up. What would be real cool is if there was a rom that would turn my vibrant into a PMP. I also have a motorola Cliq if I could do the same with that I they wouldn't have to fight over it.
Anyone else toying with this thought?

I think you can freeze Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk in Titanium Backup
just take the sim out and let them use wifi for the market.

Would it still dial 911 without a sim? I would also freeze the phone and dialer to be safe.

don't think it has a call function AT ALL if sim is removed, just a notification thing on the notification bar telling you to put in your sim card.

Wow that's way to smart why did't i think of that, oh wait I did I'll be taking the sim card out to put in my new phone.
When the sim card is out it allows emergency dialing only.
I’m wanting to stop the emergency dialing and the sim card missing messages if possible. I'll have to give titanium backup a try and see what freezing the apps does. I’ll try it tomorrow UPS just dropped off my new G2X.
I don't want them to have a tablet either they really want an iPod touch but I'm kind of anti iPod. I’m also thinking the new Samsung galaxy s wifi is going to be out of my price range and the specs aren’t really comparable to the vibrant.

I don't know how to stop the notifications and most of the people replying here probably don't either, so i suggest you PM a Developer here that you know and ask them to build you a flash that will remove crap like that, or if their extra nice, they might make a rom just for you to use as everything but phone.

Thanks I'll try that! Maybe I'll post the same thing on the team whisky forum.
I found on another form where people are doing this same thing just with another phone. They have a script to remove some apk's might just removimg the same apk's with root explorer and see what happens.
Ive been asking for a rom like that forever in the g1 forums...long story short...removing phone and dialer causes a **** ton of fc's, and very hard to work around. Kernal needs to be built to not have any phone functions I think...also a custom radio(again...i think). Wish I knew how to build off of AOSP cuz im thinking that would be the easiest way..

Hmm..I don't know if maybe thru titanium you can freeze or delete the dialer?

Pulled yesterday the update from the network with the famous trick.
I have been plying around since then and wanna share my thoughts.
Gmail push mail is working but with a huge dealy comparing it with android or iOs mail delivering. Slow
Multitasking is working only with MS app, not third party. Maybe the apps are not upadated yet but... it sucks at the moment
Social network integration is good with facebook but very complicated to use, not intuitive. Twitter is not supported and the twitter app just plain sucks... no background tweet pull neither push. A mess
Live tiles are nice but daily briefing stays static
Do not know about battery usage
Bing music search is nice but it would be nicer with the possibility of downloading songs directly
I like marketplace, fewr apps than competitor but overall good quality
IT MISS A FAST DIAL OPTION... this is an epic fail... there is no smart dialing too... so calling someone who is not in the start screen takes like 6 or 7 click. fail
If this update eas released one year ago it would be good and efficent... comparing my mango omnia7 with my sammy sgs2 is like stealing sweets to a kid...
Poor Nokia... your N9 is far better that this fruit salad...
Don´t know what you mean?!
Hey that´s wondering me,i just don´t know whatabout you´re speaking,the most times i heard only good replys to mangoupdates,which omnia version do you have?(Telekom,uk3 or what ever?)Maybe its a problem with your provider?
Please tell

No mango just sucks. I really don't want to see several "messages" to multitask between in the multitask screen, some is even from the same sender. How is having two "apps" to switch too Witch is identical? And when your in marketplace, going deeper into "related" and I want to search..where is the button? I have to hit back a zillion times before it appears? Oh no wait I have a actual button on my phone for that..lets press that..BING wtf? They messed up big time, can't even get my native language to the display language.

not sure about whether there is a delay in gmail, tried that and i do not notice any delay in receiving mail/sending mail via gmail.
what do you mean by third party app? can give some example so that i can try it myself? i take Whatsapp as an example, i have no issue running this app (multi-tasking), games, or whatsoever.
regarding FB, i think its individual experience. some may find it complicated / not user friendly some may find it very nice. i personally find it OK, not the best neither very good. never try twitter, hence no comment on this.
whether all tiles are "live" or not i think it doesn't really matter, of course if all tiles are "live" that would be good to have. i find battery usage on Mango is damn good, way better than iPhone or most of the android devices.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
let's not "conclude" that Mango is a "failure" release, knowing that there are a lot of so call fundamental features supposed to be in but it weren't. Give microsoft a chance and see what they have in Tango or Apollo.
I fast dial just pressing windows button and saying "call name of person" in italian of course
using mango for 1 day is not enough to write a review from my point of view

Enough to get frustrated , it shouldn't do that. Those feelings should come after a long time when you discovered them. Not get frustrated the moment you want to do something. That speech feature isn't working in my language either . Neither is bing features.

I think you should really stop trolling in this 3d.
You are happy with mango? good for you.
You do not find annoying multitasking between single messages? Good for you.
You like searching for the search button, again good for you.
Are you a microsoft employee? If not, why you feel so frustrated with someone givin his opinions?
I can see you are a newbie on XDA and maybe you do not know that we usually review the software update and even the phones. Do you have any problem with it? Just change topic. And please stop saying that us, italians, have solutions for all the problems, it is just childish.
you didn't understand how to use the phone, you are the original poster so you are the trouble maker and you are more newbie than me, so shut up

Gmail push mail now works perfectly.

Twitter app, facebook app. rai.tv app do not multitask. Maybe they will, but now they do not.

You are right. De gustibus. I personally do not like it. It uses a ton of bandwith every time you open contacts app.

Live tiles that are not live is an epic fail.
Battery life is depends too much on user behavior for me to judge it I just says that on android you can UV etc etc to get max battery life.
agreed with you that without smart dialing is an epic failure. i believe everybody is complaining about this and hope that it will be addressed in next release (Tango)
I do not think that WP7 will still be on the market when Tango will be released. That is just my sensation.

Maybe you should learn basic education. And stop acting like a little n00b. I posted my personal review as anybody is free to do. You didn't like it, all right. But please let other ppl express their minds without the "you didn't understand how to use your phone" or "go play with super mario". That is so stupid. Even for you.
Hope to not hear anything more from you.

First off, stop telling me what to do.second, I bought omnia 7 because I was unhappy with my galaxy s2. If the case is that we are just noobs that doesn't know how to use the phone, why can't you enlighten us? I would be thrilled if you could make me enjoy my phone. Either that or shut your mouth and let other people have a different opinion.
