I import VCF's with contact details from the company intranet into google contacts to get the details to my Magic (Vodafone, Android 1.6). This works just fine but the pictures get messed up:
Picture of person A ends up connected to the picture of person B or C. Pictures don't show up when dialing or incoming calls are received, they only show up when searching. Please note: in google contacts all looks fine. Again, I'm quite content with the way it works, the picture handling is just confusing.
The problem is when I create a contact # I later on come to check on that contact # and I get many repeats of that same # in the form of a text and a cell #. Is there an option to disable it because it pisses me off.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy app has loads of images in the drawable folder, and I want to organize them into sub folders to make them more manageable. When I create a new folder, and move the images, they are no longer found (and not compiled into the R.java file). Can this be done, or do all my hundreds of images have to sit directly in the drawable folder?

I want to change it so that when i go to my contact list I only see my gmail contacts.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have images uploaded on the simulated sdcard on my emulator. I downloaded them from the browser, using the long-click on each image.
When I look at the file explorer in the DDMS perspective, I see that they are in the directory sdcard/download.
Now if I want to download some audio files and use them in an app to, say list the title of all audio files, will they go in the same directory? (I am trying to push the audio files manually from my computer to the emulator).
This doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the media files of different types (pictures, audio, video) go into different directories?
Also, thinking this through a little, how is something like this related to the physical directory on the sdcard?
Uri mMedia = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
This is off topic (off Android really), but does anyone know where to find good advice on moving to a "paperless office" using cloud software.I want to keep all my stuff online using a scanner and cloud based software. I'm posting here because many on this forum are software junkies and would at least know a few forums to direct me to.Actually, to bring it back to Android, I will be using my smart-phone to access the cloud to see my docs, which is a big reason I want to move to the "cloud."Here is my main question: What is the best cloud-based tool to store electronic documents? Google Docs, Evernote, or DropBox?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy parents are going on a trip in a month and they have there heart set on taking a smartphone with them.What they need is being able to call, text and mail.They also want to be able to use it as a backup (just in case) for finding their way. So just in case they get lost to find out where they are on their map or use the gps to guide them for a little while.
So basically, calling, sms, mail and gps. They don't need to be able to change a lot of settings.So, I was thinking about installing their (yet to buy) smart phone with a simple home screen and the settings they would need. To keep them from accidentally messing anything up, I was wondering if it is possible to password protect settings and stuff.
-how to protect settings etc.
-a good home screen
-other things like very simple gps app for example
So I got my first Android phone, this Evo 4G last week. It's really great and I love it but I have all kinds of crazy stuff going on, triple contacts, facebook contacts, my gmail account contacts, my business google apps contacts, just things seem kinda out of control since it's my first Android phone. So I'm thinking about just starting with a clean slate, now that I know a lot more about what the phone can do, which calendars to you, which sms program, other apps that are must-haves. Is this a good idea? Will it do anything to my SD card, which has all of my apps backed up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen our app gets updated sometimes the buttons on existing widgets get the wrong icon drawables, and sometimes the layout itself is broken. I believe this is because the update has different values for some of the drawable and other resources, since they're generated alphabetically, but the widget host still retains the old ids. A delete and re-create of the widget fixes the problem, but a number of users get confused by it and of course it just looks bad.
Is there something I should be doing to prevent this? If not are there any workarounds, other than making all the resources used by widgets start with "0" or something equally ugly?
I have listview with items that include both text and images. If I scroll the listview fast enough all items images are messed up: wrong images are displayed for wrong items. The same problem exists with expandable listview. I tried to implement holder class to cache imageview and image itself using setTag, getTag but nothing helps. The faster I scroll the more items are messed up. Text almost always displayed correctly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create some 9patch images that have some text as their content. I define the stretchable area with a black pixel line top and left. And I define the content area with a black pixel line right and bottom. However, it seems as though Droid is adding padding to the top and bottom of the content area, messing my layouts up. Has anyone else experienced this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to organize my contacts. As far as I can figure, Android allows you to group phone contacts but there is no option for grouping Google contacts, which most of my contacts are. Does anyone know a way to group Google contacts on the phone. I don't even care about making Groups on sync. I just want to group them now that they are on my phone.

View 21 Replies View RelatedI dragged and dropped a bunch of music files from my Mac onto my Moment's SD card. In the Android music player, many of the albums (classical, mostly), were all jumbled together in an "Unknown artist" file. The instruction book for the phone says I should not use my computer to create new folders, or rename folders, on the SD. HOw, then do I delete and rearrange music files? I don't see a prompt for creating folders in the app on the phone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible? I made 2 folders on my home screen and renamed them. But I notice everytime I drag and add an app inside the folder there is no way (at least that I can find) to move them around in the order I would like them to be in. Theres no way to drag them around and organize them without taking them out completely then re adding them in order. Am I doing something wrong? Is this possible? If not with stock folders is there an app that lets me do this?

When I attach a file and pic to send as mms in handscent they are all alphabetical but in 2 sections. i'll scroll down through a-z, then after that it starts a-z again with other rigntones.

What is bothering me is how the songs list in the player and under ringtones, seems all list the same in both places, I made a playlist, but I don't want my songs listing as ringtones. Anyone know how to do this better? Also, how to make it read the song tags info as well.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthis may not be the right place for it, but i dont know where else to go. I have 2 micro sd cards. one a 4gig that i used in my g1 and a 8gig that i use in my hero. in my hero the 8gig says damaged sd card. it happened last night while trying to copy a bunch of stuff from laptop and it crashed during it. says i need to format it, but it just locks up phone and i have to pull battery out to restart. tried to do it from windows, but it wont even mount. so i was going to try to use my old 4gig from my g1 that i could never delete or add any files to. no luck there either. i can access it and copy files and they will be there, but then they just disapeer. i tried formating in windows and it formats and shows empty, but then everything comes back. is there a way to fix these cards like a formating program or something.
