Hi guys
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do I set up the frequency of when friendstream,news widgets update as I cant find it and it's doing my head in
Go to the apps page, click on Friend Stream. Once friend stream has loaded up, hit the Hardware menu button and choose settings. Select Accounts and sync and you should be able to specify update times for each service.

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?

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.
Hi guys,
I've searched the forum to find posts related to sync'ing problems with facebook live profiles, of which the actions to resolve these bugs have already been put in place already in Dutty's V3 ROM.
To be more specific... when I get the list of Live Profiles on the screen, the photos for the facebook users start appearing one by one as it refreshes. However if i scroll down the list of users, it appears to have only have refreshed the users that are in view (so when i scroll down, all these users have no picture)... I gave it time, but nothing, so I pressed Refresh in the bottom left and it refreshed those username and displayed their pictures... but having scrolled back to my original position, the pictures have gone again.
What it appears is that the refresh is only updating the facebook users that are visable on the screen but not the whole list.
Is anyone having this problem? Or might have an idea how to solve it?
Thanks,
WizzKidd
A few people on the forum have suggested to others to "change the Data Connection so to download data automaticaly under updates and status/menu"
and,
"press update in the data settings menu and when it starts updating press home to get away from the updates and status page. It should carry on updating (the same way it would if you had it set to auto update) but you won't get the crashing if you're not on that page."
I cant seem to find these options in the Data Connections (under the Comm Manager, unless im looking in the wrong place). Can someone help me out here?
Thanks,

That was me that suggested that on the Dutty V3 thread. The data settings are under all people/updates and events/menu/data connection settings
I think the op was asking about the way the profile images refresh though. This is an issue, but I would imagine an intentional one, so as hundreds of images are not being loaded into memory every time contacts is open. The more contacts you have with photos, the more likely it would be to slow down your phone I guess.
EDIT: Oh! ha ha, you are the original poster. Doh!
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 ?

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.
Right, this is my first time EVER using an Android phone so PLEASE forgive me for these epically stupid sounding questions.
1. How do I change a ringtone/notification sound to one I choose rather than what's already pre-loaded on the phone?
2. Is there a more "In-Depth" battery?..I would prefer to have it in % rather than the symbol it is.
3. With the mail application I have both of my GoogleMail accounts sync'd to it, but whenever I recieve an email It will play the notification sound but wont show up in the "Mail" app.
Any help would be amazing!
Answer to 1: You can change the sounds in the personalize menu by scrolling to the bottom, don't know where that is?
Answer to 2: You can flash various battery mods located in the Themes & Apps section, I presume/hope your phone is S-OFF and rooted?
Answer to 3: Have you waited for the app to refresh? If so, try adding the emails again.
My phone was actually new out of the box today from Vodafone, so it isn't S-off?
I can find the personalise menu, but when I press on "Notification" sound it only gives me the option to choose one of the ones which are allready on the phone, even at the bottom it doesn't have the option to chose my own.
Oh and also for the emails, they show up in the "Gmail" application but not in the "Mail" widget

No it won't be S-OFF, I suggest you look at the sticky roll up thread in the Android Development section.
And it's the button on the right of the phone, you can also access it by long pressing on an empty space.
Edit: In fact, look at this excellent thread!

regarding ringtones and notification sound try connecting your phone to your PC and open your SD card place in the SD card two new folders one called notifications one called yes you got it ringtones put the sounds you want to use in these two new files ,then dissconnect your phone from the PC when you now go to change your sms notifications you should find in the list your choices , to set a ringtone to a particular person go to your standard music player scroll to the music track you wish to use then then hit menu i think if i remember correctly it will give you the option of selecting that track as a contact ringtone, the above will also give you the option to use selected track as a general ringtone , the only notification sound i havent managed to change for my own is email the above route dont seem to work for email ,hope this helps mate
Thank you so much for the Ringtone/Notifcation advice!
I feel so stupid for not getting that!
I just need to sort out my email problem now
dont feel stupid mate its only because of the wealth of info from this site that i could even answer your problem , regarding the email ,have you linked your emails to your google mail account and enabled pop3 in the options for linking the accounts,you might also try linking your accounts via the PC rather than doing it on your phone ,iam sure someone with far more knowhow in this will probably be able to give you a much clearer answer than i can as im still learning myself
ps google and the search function on this site are your freinds use them and you will probably find the answers your looking for ,has worked for me on several occasions ,good luck mate
Well, when I Initially set up the phone it asked me for my google account, which I gave it which I assume it synced up with the Gmail app, Accessing it later on I added my second Gmail account to that app.
Whenever I have the "Mail" widget open however it wont access any of the emails IN the inbox or any new ones, regardless of the amount of times I press "Refresh"
try this not sure if it will help but it cant hurt to watch n learn

Thats what I have, I have two accounts in the Gmail app but it doesn't show any of THOSE emails in the "Mail" widget
can i ask what mail widget your using
The one that comes built into the phone.
Aside from a game or two and advanced task killer, I have downloaded nothing!
So my two Google accounts show up in the "GMAIL" application, but the Android/HTC mail widget which can be put on one of the homescreens wont show ANY of the emails I get into the two google accounts.

You have to go into the HTC Mail app and then set up your Gmail accounts in there for the HTC Mail widget to work. The native Gmail app is totally separate from HTC Mail app and widget.

EDIT: Task Killers are big no-no... Google "why you shouldn't use task killers for Android"
So I bought my wife a used but very new Kindle Fire 2. Took it home, setup her email app to connect to gmail. All worked well until I realized that the previous owner didn't do a proper factory reset of the device. Still had enough of his stuff to where I could have really screwed him. I didn't. Anyway, I didn't want to have to mess around with manually removing his stuff. So I did a factory reset. The correct way. All his stuff was gone. Went to re-setup email and got the error message that I didn't have permission to sync with that server. I guess it has to do with changes google made to how devices connect to them via a non-google app. They are not allowing new connections and since I hard rest the Kindle, google looked at it as a new connection. After a lot of searching and messing around, I found one solution that allowed me to seup the email, but no calendar and contact syncing. I then happened across the below website that gave me the solution that finally fixed the problem. Email, Calendars and contacts all sync. I hope this helps others not spend the amount of time I did to find the solution. Below is the solution. I cannot post the link but it was found at kindle-fireforum dot com - You just need to fix the url in step three. Being a junior member I had to put it like that so I could post it. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I had this problem setting up gmail account on new Kindle.
Here is what Kindle support gave me. Worked fine.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Device. Tap ON to turn on Allow Installation of Applications from unknown sources. Tap OK on the warning dialog box that pops up. Don’t worry! You will turn off this feature once update is completed.
3. On the Home screen, tap Web. Enter url address
(just add http :// here)bit.ly/0018580031
and select Go. When you open the web url link in the Silk Web browser, the update downloads automatically.
4. Swipe down from the top of the screen to see the notification bar. You should be able to see the update downloading. Once it completes, tap Email.Apk. Tap OK on the “Replace application” dialog box that follows.
5. Tap Install on bottom right on the “Do you want to install this application?” screen, update will then download. Tap Done after application installed.
6. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Applications. Tap Installed Applications. Tap Email. Verify version number is 1.04_104003110.
7. On the Home screen, swipe down from the top and select More. Tap Device. Tap OFF to turn off Allow Installation of Applications from unknown sources.
8. On the Home screen, tap Apps. Tap Device. Tap Email. Select Gmail from the list of account, and then enter the requested information. With the email app update you should not have to edit any server information.
