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.

Auto Connection

Hi,
my Vario V (T-Mobile Version of the TP2) automatically connects to the internet all the time, even after a softreset!
It happens even if no other application is open. Push-Mail is not enabled!
Are there any hints what I can do, to get that fixed?
Best Regards,
Ulaef

Mine too! it connects at a random fashion, even though everything is turned off. Anyone with probable rootcause & solution

Possible solution
Not sure whether this works but this is what I do to disable my TP2 auto connection
1. Disable push emails in activesync
2. In the weather tap, go to menu -> settings -> untick "download weather automatically"
3. In the internet tap, go to menu -> schedule settings -> untick all day & time scheduled download
4. In the internet tap, menu -> data settings -> turn off "push internet"
5. In the people tap, -> all people -> updates and events -> menu -> data connection settings -> untick download data automatically (it downloads every 2 hours).
Hope i didn't miss out anything. Please try and see
Cheers,

Push email and weather update is disabled. The T-Mobile branding has no option for push internet! I removed the registry value. Even in my contact tab i found no event option. Maybe its a feature hidden by t-mobile which is still active!?
Can't wait for HardSPL to get an official HTC-ROM.

[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: -->

[Q] How do you disable/remove AT&T Address Book?

Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.

I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?

Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.

Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.

I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.

Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.

I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....

Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.

1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

No.
My AT&T and YP.

I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Yes, I just tried this as well instead of what I posted earlier and it also worked. I didn't know there was a phonebook option in my online AT&T account.

I just turned off the AT&T phonebook as you described and the pop-up goes away. Didn't need to do anything else.
Thanks!

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.

Bypass "factory data protection" help?

tl;dr bought phone with box and everything, had pattern in it, put into recovery wiped it, now it's a brick.
So I bought a HTC One M9 from someone off of craigslist for $350. It was dead when I bought it, but I got pics of it with it on and functioning. It came with the box, charger and everything. So it had a pattern lock on it so I just put it into recovery mode and wiped it. Now it needs the original account to activate it. I've got a hold of the original person and they gave me the password and email but they reset the password so I think I have to wait 72 hours which is Tuesday night hopefully. But what if it doesn't work? Can I bypass it?

So i have managed to get into the settings of the phone, so I've managed some progress at least!!
From the start up press next
Go to add another network, click advance options, proxy manual
add a couple letters under proxy hostname, push and hold what you added and select share
Select Messages, select yes, then allow
Push the three dots on the top right corner and select "Tips & Help" Press allow
Push the three lines by "how tos" select "diagnostics tools" push "phone storage"
Select Apps, scroll down to "Setup Wizard" select it, then push the i that's in a circle " force stop" it, select "ok"
At this point you should have all three navigation buttons on the screen at the bottom, pull the notification bar down and hit the gear. You're now in the settings of the phone!
You can enable developer options but it won't let you access them, but you're able to access all of the settings in the phone, but I'm not able to get to the home screen. But it's progress, maybe we can figure out a bypass with this information....

Yes, but it doesn't show any intonation in it. I was able to wipe the phone but it didn't clear the protection. The password the person gave to me after 72 hours finally worked, so I have a somewhat functioning M9. The signal is messed up it keeps dropping service. Verizon is sending me a new device, should be here later today.
