Does anyone know how to or how long it takes to have ur Phone and Google contacts link together on the CM7 Roms?....From what Im thinking it seems to do it automatically...anytime I add a new number I create a contact for both Google and my Phone so there are basically two copies of each contact(I do that becuz I don't like how Google distorts ur photos when u add one to their contacts..so I only add them to the phone portion to keep a clean copy)...but sometimes it doesn't link together.....
I have tired everything that I could think of..I deleted the contacts (both)....I've added the phone part first then Google....that didn't work....I added Google then then the phone..and that didnt work....it looks like over time the phone would link them but I can't determine how true that is or was it something that I did to get them to link together....if anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatful.....thanx.....
Oh and I'm using CM7-RC3 (Vivid theme) on the Evo...I'm not sure if the theme part matters....thanks again.

Hi all...
I'm turning to XDA for help as you guys seem to know everything
I have an unrooted Droid X that I have modified with Desktop visualizer, smooth calendar, a few other apps. At some point during the mods, it stopped ringing when called. Now sound works... and the phone announces the network then vibrates when called, so it says "Verizon Wireless" and then vibrates... but I can't get the ringer to come back.
I've removed everything I added. I have rebooted the phone multiple times... still no ringer.
Any thoughts on what else to try?

in my experience its better to root and rom ur device, instead of using apps. just my opinion. u might havt to do a full sys restore.

While true, if I damage the phone while rooting, I'm screwed and have to buy a new phone. Trying to avoid rooting. Just want the phone back to normal.
Ok, have reloaded to factory. Now will do updates and see what one causes the problem. Will notify here.
I wouldn't actually consider it modding if you installed some apps. But as stated before, it would be a good idea to do a system restore

Do a system restore. On a side note using Z4 root I'd say there is almost a 0% chance on any damage. Believe me when I say this it is nearly impossible to brick a device. Nearly all the threads on here about people complaining about a bricked device are solved easily and the devices aren't really bricked.
Ok, have reloaded everything but Smooth Calendar and I'm still good. I want to load it but am worried it will take me right back where I was... is there another decent app that widgets the calendar in a see-thru mode that anyone is using on their Droid X?

I've never had any problems at all with Smooth Calendar. Maybe your restore fixed your problem.

I use CalWidget. Its minimalistic and simple, has a transparent background if wanted, and you can customize the colors, how it syncs, etc. Simple and fairly versatile.

Thanks all for the advice.
I did reinstall smooth calendar and all seems well. Strange that it acted up before... can't really blame any one app though.
As towards calling it 'modding'... of course you can't, but my phone still looks better than straight factory ones...
And I might root it, I am still a little hesitant though, once I get more time maybe I can look into it and then give it a shot.
Thanks again!

Go to settings>sound>roaming tone then uncheck this.
Copilot is freezing (not force closing) on me after about 30 seconds of doing anything in the menus. If I can get to the destination screen quick enough I can put in my destination with no problem and it won't freeze on me while giving directions. Anyone else having this problem?
No one else is having this problem?
freezing
im so glad its not just me
random freezing with co-pilot if you open o
in portrate i
locked it will try to work
i sent them email please do the/same
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone either I sent an email on Friday about it.
Saw this on their twitter feed (posted 31-March):
@copilotsupport CoPilot Live Support
@pappyxmas We are adding support for Xoom in the next update coming soon.
Seems like the Xoom would be most like our Acer.
And on the list of supported devices:
Motorola - Droid 2, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Milestone, Milestone 2
So... seems like it's not there yet.
yes same for me. The 15min. Refund policy is robbery.
How do u get a refund if it never works?
im sure they will get this fixed soon. i do really hope so very blonde here and need this app to work.I have not found another turn by turn nav that comes close
Hello, since sometime ago (don't remember when, sorry) my Dialer and SMS apps stopped working.
I never did any 'crazy stuff' with my Milestone 2 - just froze some motoblur stuff with Titanium (and only the really unnecessary stuff like ESMusica, things that you know they're useless) it's rooted too, but that's it. I unfroze everything and still no go, when I try to open them I get a black screen for two seconds and then it goes back back to the home screen.
I don't remember when it happened because I've been using GO Dialer and GO SMS for a long time, so it doesn't really bother me since they work on any launcher, but... I may buy a Galaxy S2 or an Atrix and it will be kind of weird selling the phone without the native Dialer and SMS borked
Anybody went through something similar? And any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance.
maybe just do a factory reset before you sell it? had the same problem with titanium, but i couldn't even recieve any sms...
first try unfreezing all blur-sh** and then reboot it, maybe that helps!
Before you sell it, do a factory reset and flash Retail Brazil SBF.

Thanks! Good idea doing it before selling (not in a hurry because I just found out my carrier won't discount me until feb 2012 - so maybe I'll be able to get a quad core phone by then, I love my iMac and iPad but I hate the iPhone's keyboard and lack of multitasking - what made me try to freeze all the motoblur stuff was that my phone is constantly hitting 100% cpu and slowing down even with the motothings frozen and oc'ed to 1.25).
But on the unfroze+reboot thing, no luck The messaging app runs, I can click on the facebook messages, etc but when I click text messaging it goes back to the Home Screen. I deleted the app cache/data via app settings on the phone and no go.
If I do a factory reset, what will I lose? My phone apps and contacts? I can reinstall then, and my Go Launcher setup is backed up on the SD and my contacts are synced with google and the mac's address book so maybe I can benefit from it?
Thanks for your response!

Dan can you tell me or point me to how I do this sbf thing? I never flashed anything on my phone, never tried custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader. Thank you.
Search for sbf_flash (mac/linux) or RSD Lite 5.3/4.8/4.9 (windows). Those are the programs that can flash a motorola signed SBF to your phone.
For the files download:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
For an explanation of the CGs(partitions) stored inside each SBF (see Droid X section):
http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt
For a GB SBF get the leak in the Dev forum and the root method in the General or in the Droid 3 forum.
To flash it you need to be on bootloader mode, Power + Volume Down + Camera.
For a better explanation on how to flash it search the forum, you may find it.
Sorry, no links of the forum, I'm on mobile.
Edit: If you want a custom Rom, I only tested the MIUI and it is good, the others (not including Mostly Blurless GB) may have some crazy bugs.

Thanks a lot for the great explanation! I'll actually try it because since my phone performs very well one week and drives me crazy the next one depending on the apps I'm using, it seems like a good idea to start from scratch, I'll just look for something to manually backup my contacts before (I know google backs them up, just wanna be 100% sure I don't lose anybody lol).
Again, thanks a ton for such a detailed explanation.

Don't worry with contacts, google and motoblur backup them.

Have you changed the screen density? It used to happen the exact same thing with stock SMS and Dialer in my MS2 when I did.

Yeah I never worried but... One friend I added a long time ago (including fb profile, etc) was not imported - at least not her phone number - so I'm worried now that the contacts I added manually (in her case I just added the phone number, the rest was all fb+google info) won't be 100% synced. I'll check some of the people I added manually if I can remember who they are lol.

I saw threads about that but I never changed it. I only changed the number of rows and columns in my launchers (Go and Launcher Pro) but not screen density.
Baseband Help (TIM BRAZIL)
Hello,
My Milestone 2 is no network, when I turn it appears unsigned. Saw in other forums that the problem may be the Baseband, I'm using the ROM and it came MIUI Defy Baseband Switch, tried all the bands available for Brazil, but none works. Could you help me?
I regularly have the same problem with my dialer app.
It is not that it stops working but after a few days of collecting calls it crashes when I dial certain numbers, for example 420 which is one of the most common number starts for me, the app crashes immediately.
If I clear the stats for the recent calls -in and out- the app doesn't crash but it will crash if I try to see the number matches for that 420 that I dialed.
I hope I'm making myself clear.
I think it is a bug in the app because I don't use titanium to disable anything related to the dialer or contacts or search or anything that has influence over the dialer app.
If anyone has an idea as to why this happens please let me know.
Martin.-

I just recently acquired my second DX. While removing bloatware, I believe I may have deleted something that I shouldn't have. Now, I can't view, edit, open, call from or text from my contacts. Whenever I try, it just closes and goes back to the home screen. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know someone out there can help me. PLEASE!!
What system version are you on?
Can you remember what all apps you removed?

I don't remember what all got deleted. My system version is 4.5.605.

Use Root Explorer or ES File Exporer and rename 'BlurContactsSync.apk' and I just renamed it to 'BlurContactsSync.bak'. I have confirmed that my contacts do, indeed, seem to sync correctly.
Remember to go into options in your File Explorer and enable root read and write permissions.
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much! Guess I didn't mess up anything after all! Weird though. Wonder why/how that happened?
