Hi Developers,
I am experiencing an extremely annoying and frustrating issue with my XDA Orbit. Basically, if i try and change the phone number of a contact and click OK, contacts close and when I open them up again, the one I tried to edit has had no changes. The same goes if I go to contacts and try to add a new one. Once I click OK, contacts close, and when I open them up again - the new contact has not been added. The same goes for many other things (such as bubble break, if i try to change from megashift to any other option, the game closes, when i open it again, it's back on megashift).
This thing is killing me, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this so it could well be a user error, but i cannot see how.
XDA is running Win Mobile 6 Professional, 5.2.1921
Thanks

first things first, i bought this phone through tigerdirect and it came unlocked with WM5.. i installed the EnergyROM and love the looks and functionality of it. I ran into a few problems.... im not the type to develop things on my own, but if there are written directions i would be able to follow it.
1. Phone always says that there is too much memory being used and i should try closing programs before opening other ones. But its weird bc nothing will be open, and i try and open the camera and it says memory is full. is it just a bug or is there a way to fix this?
2. Im trying to use .wav audio files as my text, e-mail, and alarm notifications. except when i add the .wav files to the my ringtones folder, they only show up in the ring tone section and not any others.
3. On the main screen of WM6.1 with the sliding panels, is there a way to get my SMS, MMS, Outlook and other e-mail accounts on the same tab? im tired of scrolling down, i would rather see it go to the right or left.
4. some keyboard functions dont match up when using the FN key (!,&,%,$) the only one that works is the question mark. is there a file i could install over the old one, or something i can do to fix it?
any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. thanx
No need to make new thread post in the thread of topic NRG ROM thread....
Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.

Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.

i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.
I like the flash but I need help with about three basic things.
First the text message sent thing is happening and the old disable text message download from here isn't working to stop it, Does a new one need to be written?
Second, they gave you a fantastic version of Internet Explorer one in my opinion, as good or better then opera. But now my default internet keys on my keyboard take me to Opera and not Internet Explorer like it use to, I want this changed back, so can you please help me on that too?
and last, when I press start It no longer drops down my 7 pre set programs and the other two system ones, it automatically sends me to the jumbled screen which I hate! I would like this changed back as well. Please help guys, thanks
1....look for disable sms cab..lots out there..
2...open the web browser..it will use opera first...when that happens go to the settings on the opera browser and change it so its not your default browser...next time you use it, it will use internet explorer
3...for the last one i really don't think you can change that..
I have gone into the contacts and set my sim contacts as inactive, yet when I open the contact list when creating a new SMS, all my SIM contacts are there... this is really really annoying. I can not for the life of me figure out how to disable this.
I've had a G1 for the past 1.5 years, rooted and running custom roms, so I know this has to be a snake in the grass waiting to bite me. Can anyone lend a hand?
Sorry if this is a bit hard to follow, long day
And yes, I have searched.. again, I know this is probably right in front of my face.
same problem here hopefully gets fixed in and update
same crap here another two annoyances from the stock sms app is no led and if text are sent in the same minute they get outta order
I cant stand how you can sync your facebook with only the contacts that are in your address book. But then when you go to text someone is shows everyone from facebook as a option to message. I just want it to show the people in my addess book. is there any way to do this. Have it sync just your contacts with facebook and not have everyone and their mother show up in the who to message list?
go into contacts and press the option menu,then view. disable the t-mobile one contacts too. because t-mobile keeps all ur contacts too...
i had a similar problem, hope this help tho...

it still ends up coming up when you search for the name in the sms app or other apps thats just to clear it from the phone app
This phone handles syncing strange. I cant wait till its rooted so i can put a Cyanogen rom on it. Even when i delete all the tomobile contacts. It finds a way of bringing them back.

This, 1000000000 times this. If I turn off veiwing facebook for mytouch contacts in the address book it still shows 100000 people form facebook in the sms part when i go to send a new message.
Yes... the syncing on this phone is indeed weird and annoying.. it was cool at first seeing everything pool in and popup without entering any info.. then it went awire , so I hit the killswitch on the whole operation. I know this isn't an answer to the problem, but maybe u can do without syncing until the froyo update comes next week (wishful thinking) ? Or do a hard reset and resync everything over slowly
No way I could find to not see all your contacts as is described in post #1. Dowload a full-featured sms app.

Handcent or Chomp. I prefer the former but have not used the latter much. For all new Android users reading this...please use androidtapp.com for reviewing apps. If they have reviewed the app, it is very thorough, including screen shots and an overall rating. This also gives you an idea of what the app can do, especially in comparison to a stock app so you don't have to frumpenuzzle with it yourself.
Just a word on handcent. I can not stand the way it looks. Its a blatent iphone look-a-like

Switch the skin to the Hero skin.. I forgot it even came imitating the iphone since I always had it with the hero skin on my G1. When I installed it on the slide I was like aww wtf haha. I also have it with no bubbles or or handcent type bubbles.

Ill check it out, after I installed it on my G1, I opened it up and RAGED cause it looked like the iphone and immediately uninstalled it.
Hey there,
I just unpacked my T-Mobile USA Vibrant (modified Galaxy S). I love the phone, but as always, there are things that I think are missing. So I played around a little bit with it and one thing kept bothering me.
The phone integrates all my Facebook contacts, which is great. But I think it would be a slick feature if you could actually send them a message directly from the contact list. As of now, I have to go into a browser or use the FB app to send messages and I think it would be a lot more convenient to just go into the contact and send a message from there (like a text basically).
Does anybody now if there is an app or some piece of software that can help me out here? If not, do you even think it is possible to do it? I am not a developer, but I can imagine there are some issues, cause as far as I know Samsung didn't open there UI code for developers yet (or showed any intention of doing it).
So I am excited what you guys think of that and hope there is a solution somewhere out there
Phill
edit: I just saw there is a specific Vibrant forum. If the admins would like to put this post in the right place I would appreciate it. However, I think the issue is omnipresent among all versions of the SGS.
This would be a fantastic mod for contacts I would think I don't know why someone hasn't done this previously. I think if we get the guy doing the standard froyo / eclair dialler / contacts mod to do this it will be extremely innovative.
Contacts -> Groups -> Facebook -> menu -> Send message -> Choose recipient
Wow, long path... Should work though.
hey yea that works. but it is kind of a long way dont you think? Thanks anyway, it got me one step closer What I think would be a tremendous improve is to add the fb msg feature directly to the first contact screen. You know, when you slide left on a contact for texting and right for calling. If there is no number available but a fb contact it should automatically go to the fb messaging.
