    Help Unable to sync contacts

    I cannot sync between android phone and gmail contacts. It was all going well until I decided to do a cleanup of contacts on Gmail. I deleted some contacts and edited others.

    Root Latest Custom Rom info please

    I just hate to get rid of my now old Desire A8181. I rooted it in 2011 to run Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 Build Number GWK74. Android version 2.3.7. I cannot find a Cyanogenmod update. I have lost touch with latest developments in rooting the Desire but would appreciate a quick update on...

    Root USB storage times out too soon

    Today I went to transfer a hundred or so photos from phone (Cyanogenmod7) to PC. When in the process of uploading, the USB connectivity was lost before the process was finished. It seems to time out within a couple of minutes or so. I was uploading using Picassa at the time. I am not sure...

    Root when booting CM7 I lose desktop settings

    I rebooted today and lost Google widget, android agenda widget and Beautiful clock/weather widget and some other settings. Is this normal. The only work around I have seen is to do a backup before booting but I have not personally tested this yet. A pain.

    Root Swype Memory use on CM7

    My Swype Beta (3.26 I think) on CM7 takes 24.64MB. Research seems to suggest that this level of memory usage is unique to this ROM. I would be interested to hear from others who are using Swype on CM7 and other ROMS. Also, I have found a thread about how to recompile Swype to make it much...

    Root Is rooting bad for your health?

    Since starting down this track, and now having rooted my Desire, I've found I just can't stop changing, tweaking, flashing, researching and reading about the topic. Is this typical? Does something like rooting your phone always lead to addiction? I keep telling myself that all of this has...

    Root Post rooting setup steps

    With all the focus on the rooting process itself there seems little clear information on what happens once rooted. What I have discovered so far (for Cyanogenmod7): 1. It took a few moments to realise the lock on screen could be flicked away with the finger! 2. I was not able to access apps...

    I have an autosync with MS Exchange (as it happens with Microsoft online). When I go to Mail/Exchange ActiveSync/Menu/Folders/Switch Folder I see listed there a large number of old folders including a lot of old deleted ones. They do not show on my Outlook, nor can I see them anywhere else...

    Accessories HTC Desire Battery experience

    I have tried a range of fixes which have been on this site however what I have found is: - the battery takes quite a while to settle. Only now, after a couple of months do I get a couple of days out of it (maybe even more). - some "battery saving" apps eg Juice Defender eventually made things...

    Help FM Radio replacement (Non streaming)

    Like others, I have found the Desire FM Radio rather inadequate both in terms of reception and in providing only intermittent station signatures. I guess ideally there would be a combo standard radio and streaming app, however my priority right now is to get a standard radio replacement. What...

    I have a group called "Friends". Some of the members of that group do not show in People (All). I have tried to find ways to move all contacts "missing" from People into the main People list - but have found no way to do this. I thought that the main People list would include ALL contacts ...

    Accessories Use Nokia USB cable!

    As I charge up my Desire both at home and work I thought I would check out using the short USB cable from my previous phone --- a Nokia 6303i Classic. It works perfectly and because it is so short (about 12 cm) it is tidy to use plugged into the USB port on my work computer. The longer...
