Contacts

I run the B&B 4.0 on my artemis. I copied al my contact from my sim to the phone. When i want to call somebody the name of the contacts is twice. How can i delete the contacts on my phone easily.
Another question. When I touch the weather tab on the htc home. It connects to the gprs. Is there a way to cancel the weather tab?
regards

You could remove the sim, restart. Then select all contacts and delete them. Then when you re-insert your sim you should see only one set of contacts.
NOTE: BE SURE YOU'VE GOT THEM ON ON YOUR SIM BEFORE DELETING THEM FROM YOUR PHONE.
For the second issue, there's a program amongst these forums called NoData. This allows you to enable/disable gprs with a single click.

Stopping Auto Download of Weather Data
Alternatively yo can select the city name on the weather display which gives you the city selection page. Select Menu option > Weather Options and there you can uncheck the Download Weather Automatically tick box (and also select the Temperature scale to be used).
After doing this select Done, then OK on the city select page.
Now the weather data will not download automatically but you can refresh the data if you click on the time since last download displayed in the top right of the download window.
Hope this helps,
Neil

Thats a much better solution!

Thanks mates it worked.

for the contacts issue, I use the hide SIM contact.cab found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1424544&postcount=1

Another option is to use the Start > Programs > Applications > SIM Manager in B&B 4.0, this program allows you to copy contacts to and from the SIM and to delete contacts from the SIM.

Email HELP... PLEASE.

I'm gonna fire this thing out the door at 100mph soon..
Thanks for looking.
First off, I'm coming from a CrackBerry, which worked, not that it matters.
I have tried several roms, double checked all my settings etc .. but still not functioning properly.
I have a tilt2 (running on Bell Network (Canada)) and I like the unit, but need to perform as follows:
1,) Email,auto connect every 15mins or so, even if unit is a sleep in my pocket.
2.) NOTIFY me when an EMAIL comes in with a Buzz, ding/ring and screen Icon.
3.) Go WIFI first to check, then go G if wifi not connected. check mail
4.) THEN DISCONNECT It. period
I've tried 6 different roms and they all seem to behave different, some won't auto disconnect, some don't notify me till hours later, most don't auto Check every 15min as it is set to. (I'm not blaming the rom,.. but everyone seems to be different .. yet the same)
I'm at my wits end,
stupid comments about check this/ check that comments are WELCOME as it is probably something I'm doing not the device. (I consider myself 'puter savy but this sucker is winning.)
PS: Any roms with Transcriber working ?
Regards

1. What is the method of email retrieval? Microsoft Exchange? POP3/IMAP4? or WindowsLive mail (Hotmail)?
If Microsoft Exchange,
Open Activesync
Tap Menu -> Schedule
Set schedule accordingly
If POP3 or IMAP4,
Open the Messaging application.
Go into Options. (If at Account Picker, tap Menu->Options. If already in an account's inbox, tap Menu->Tools->Options.)
Tap "Send/Receive Schedule"
Set schedule accordingly
If Windows Live or Hotmail,
Open Windows Live
Tap Menu->Options
Tap "Sync schedule"
Set schedule accordingly
2. Go to Settings->Personal tab->Sounds&Notifications->Notifications tab. In the dropdown menu for "Event", select "Messaging: New e-mail message" and adjust accordingly.
3. Your device should always prioritize your wifi connection ahead of your cellular connection by default. But note that your device's wifi is inactive when in suspended mode unless you applied a registry edit. But also note that if you keep you wifi active all the time, you battery life will suffer.
4. There's nothing you need to do here. After your device finishes polling for mail and there's no other application using your connection, there's no data activity. You really shouldn't be concerned with disconnecting unless your carrier charges you by the hour.

Some tweaks that could "change" HD mini...

1. Change the small clock on taskbar with "X" to be possible to close running applications (there is already a big clock on the screen...)
2. Change the "Phone" soft button with some "Action screen"
3. Stop "Data connection" activity when the device is locked
4. Change the icons in "Call History", now is black and white, it will be more easy to "filter" the missed calls (red), outgoing calls (blue), incomming calls (green).
5. When phone is locked, to have some preview for missed call, messages, sms; this should be done without unlocking, just pushing the bottom icons on the screen.
That's it for the moment...
Thanks anyone that could help

6. Integrate a nice looking SMS threaded app.

1. Install a "separate" taskmanager like Arc Switch
2. Go through "registry" and look for mapping of buttons
3. Check CHT Port and use CHTS to handle Data Connection Behaviuor
4. Modify corresponding manila files
5. CHT lockscreen

Point 2. fixed, thanks!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

fixed
Point 1 partially fixed with "MMTaskManager v2.3", thanks to Maximus.Mobile!
Point 4 fixed with "ColorManilaCallsTab" from gabbana-music (many thanks for this to maestro!).
Point 5 fixed with "BsBTweaks v1.6", thanks to makeveral!
Changed even the original action for long-press power button (turn-off device) with a nice menu with multiple choises: turn-off, restart, sleep, etc. Thanks for this to petititi and his app "QuickShutdown v1.5.5c"
Remains only one problem, point 3!
In the past I had an HTC Diamond and S2U2 unlock app witch terminate the data connection when the device locks, maybe this could help... Ofcourse, I prefer the original lock of the Mini because is so simple and efficient!

This almost fixed the point 3:
"""
Enable Auto Data Disconnect for Auto Email Downloads and Other Downloads
When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster. Modify the following reg edit to have data disconnect after 60 seconds. You can test this by tapping on the notfification bar while downloading emails and watch the data connection close after idle for 60 seconds. Please note. Data connection will NOT auto disconnect if you have any HTC Sense auto download enabled such as Weather, Twitter, Stocks, Facebook or Time Sync. Please set these apps to manual download only. Please note that this setting has the possible effect of disabling simultaneous voice and data on some devices, even if you are on a capable network and signal.

This tweak works fine for Internet and Email connections, only for weather doesn't want to disconnect after 60 seconds...

Sorry, but you know the reg tweak will not resit a SR, right?
Instead of using this tweak, you could use a "data controller" like "no data" to terminate or not even allow the data connections including weather, etc. Btw, if you change the update settings for your weather tab & stock tabs as well as disabeling the AGPS Settings, and also take a closer look at "Location Services" and what this implies, your connections for these will also terminate after update

If SR means SoftwareReset, I don't understand your point... I modified the registry with SKTools and after many SR the phone heeps the registration without problem. After HR (HardwareReset) I'm sure it will happen.
Regarding AGPS, I don't use it, I have only Primo, Igo8 and Garmin on my phone
Can you be more specific about "data controller" like "no data" offering us some links and instructions about this?
Thank you.

how "Point 1 partially fixed with "MMTaskManager v2.3":?

Because I prefer to "Change the small clock on taskbar with "X" to be possible to close running applications (there is already a big clock on the screen...)". I still have the small clock doing nothing...
Anyway, MMTaskManager v2.3 is the best solution till now.

Hey,
I have searched for a solution but never found something. The one and only way to have close Button is the one in the softkeybar. Theirefor it's possible to activate this by regestry or any tools like BSB Tweak.
Are you ineressted in it?

I'm already using BSBTweaks for point 5.
Like I said, MMTaskManager v2.3 is the best solution till now.

[Q] CM7 RC 1.5, help with MMS

Just flash my Defy with CM7 RC 1.5. It is very good, i am now happy.
Only one problem for now, can't send and receive any MMS message.
It is always: Currently unable to sent your message. It will be sent when service became available.
Checked APN, baseband, everything is OK. Also flash new nigthly, but without any result.
Any solution?
Tnx

Nordic works fine
After flashing nordic (step one, flashing CM 7 RC 1.5), i was able to send and receive MMS, but again, on CM 7 same error.
Please, anybody?
Tnx

I'm on same build and I have just tested sendind myself a MMS: works fine.
Just make sure that data is enabled and if you use DroidWall that you did not check the 3G/Data box of 'Messaging' or 'Any applications' [in the blacklist mode].

I also have problems receiving mms.
I received them because of froyo without 3g connection?

i have the same problem, and i do not know how to fix it.
PS, maybe it related to the setting "Data enable(enable data access over Mobile network)", i disabled it, if enable, huge data will transport and cost a lot.

Well, without [Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Data enabled] checked you will will not be able to send MMS: plain and simple. You want to send a picture over your 2G phone carrier: yes there will be fees for that.
You don't want any other things to use 2G data while you send your MMS: fair enough! So now you have to learn how to do that.
So you could spend some time going through each and every application and service on your phone that might do so and disable any automatic updating: for emails, facebook, Market ads and what not... but it could be tedious.
The easiest way for you to achieve this would be to use Droidwall [like I originally referrred to above ]. In there you will find 2 modes: 1- black list that blocks selected apks to access either wifi or 3G/data and 2- white list that does the opposite.
So install Droidwall [free from Market], make sure you select black list mode on top. And oh! you need root to use this so make sure that you also click "Allow" and check the 'remember' box when you see the Superuser permission request screen the first time.
Once that is done, seleck/check everything on the second column EXCEPT "Messaging" AND the first box called "(Any application)- Same as selecting all applications"
Additionally, select any application from the first column that you KNOW should not access internet at all (on wifi this time) --> as a bonus, doing so will block any ads from those free applications
Press the menu button and press "Apply rules" [or "save rules" the first time??] and make sure that you see "Firewall enabled" with a green line through it.
On the picture attached, you can see that I've selected the (Any application) for 3G/data instead of all except the 2 I told you. I leave it that way to block all data and when I need to send MMS, I unchecked it (and press "apply rules") for just the short time of sending the message then I re-enable it afterwards.
Any other questions? Lol - just joking I'm no Android help line hehe!
But I hope that this helped you guys; if so, you can log-in and hit that "Thanks" button here bellow: -->
Cheers

Gmail push notification does'nt work- somone secceeded to fix it?

Hi
i have xiaomi mi5s (miui global 8.0.3.0 stable) and i dont get push notification form the gmail app.
i try all the instructors that i found at the internet and nothings fix it, is there somone that know haw to fix it?
i try this steps:
1: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
2: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
3: Go to settings --> app notifications --> pick the apps you want to receive notifications, then turn the toggle for "Priority" on.
4: Lock the app in the "recent apps"/ "app overview" plane. Do so by first opening the apps, then press the "recent apps/overview button" (that's the square button on stock Android, or the button with three horizontal lines on the Mi Mix). From there, find the app you want to receive notifications, pull down on it to "lock it", so it never gets cleared.
5: This last step requires Developer Options privileges. To enable that, go to settings (man... I'm getting tired of typing "go to settings" ...) --> about phone
--> tap on MIUI version tab like eight times. You should then get a little message saying "you are now a developer." Then head back out to settings, go to developer option, scroll to nearly the bottom, find "memory optimization," and turn it off.

Mine does the same sometimes it's intermittent.

Things like this is why I never use Miui, its a horribly crippled version of Android that just makes life more difficult unnessesarily if you live in a country that allows free access to a service called Google
Never own a Xiaomi phone without removing Miui and replacing with a ROM that works in the real world

i wtire this comment for who will need this solution.
i secceeded to fix the push notification problem by the following
1:I changedmy rom to original miui rom (mine was fake) now i have 8.0.3.0 global
2: go to setting -> sync -> and disabled "wifi only" and enable "sync"
3: Go to settings --> permissions --> autostart. From there, pick the apps you want to receive notifications, and toggle the switch to turn it on.
4: Go to settings --> manage apps' battery usage --> choose apps. From there, pick all the apps you want to receive push notifications and select "No restrictions."
hope it will help..

Also have a look here for some more context: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/how-to/miui-kills-background-processes-solution-t3532397

The guys above me pretty much summed it up - setup autostart for the Gmail app and Google service frameworks, disable MIUI memory optimization and lock the Gmail app (menu button --> slide the app thumbnail down and click the lock icon).
Having done all of this, the push notifications are fine. I use the EU rom 7.3.30 (weekly).

Hi,
I have a brand new Mi 6 which im loving (running the standard default theme), however i have a bit of a problem with Gmail.
Im getting all the notifications, no problem at all. However, the floating notifications do not show a preview of the email i have received for Gmail. I get a floating popup, but all it shows is that i have a new email, it does not show who sent the email or the subject line, nothing.
All my other floating notifications are fine. Whatsapp, outlook, facebook etc, all of them show the floating notification with a small preview of what the message is.
Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas?
I have ALL settings correctly set to receive all the notifications, floating, etc and as i said, i DO receive notifications, they just dont show a preview specifically for Gmail. Im using latest Global Rom by the way.
