My phone erased all my pictures and contacts.. what should i do?
Quick Story: I had a HTC Legend, and i had a number of problems, so after some arse kicking by me, i got the Nexus one for 25 per month
I am not new to android: i have had the G1 which i did not root, the T-Mobile pulse, which i rooted and the HTC Legend and now the Nexus one.
Some questions?
With the legend i am am awhere of the Sence UI ? i liked how facebook contacts synced to my phone and when i rang i saw there display pictures, does the Nexus one do this?
SMS, is there a similar app to the legend, where you see threaded messages with a picture of there facebook dp?
I can't hear the phone when it rings, its so quiet, the volume is on max, is there anyway to increase this?
Nexus 1 (1GHZ) Cpu apps are there any i can play on
EP build UK Android 2.2 i have done some Googleing and cant find a release date for it
I just activated the Facebook app on my motorola droid and set it to "Sync with existing contacts." Then when I went to my phone's contacts they were all gone except for 5 seemingly-random contacts, three of which aren't even in my Facebook contacts. This is a major problem for me. I had nearly a hundred contacts on my phone. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was trying to update my contacts on my Gmail account with exactly what is on my phone so I went to sync and the stupid thing erased all my contacts off my phone. Any idea how I can push all my contacts from my phone to gmail once I do a backup, thank god I had mybackup app.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, so why do I not see anyone else commenting on this? I have owned several cell phones in the past that needed updates. NONE of these phones ever needed to be backed up prior to updating because an update resets your phone. STUPID! I simply don't have the time to do so and then try to reset up my phone the way I spent so much time doing the first time. This update should be available on the settings menu and definitely should not require backup.

When I opened up my phone I was surprised to see that there was NO sd card. who have that memory chip, but is there any hope for me without the card? Incidentally, Google+ backed up a few of my photos.

I get really bad reception in my house and it will go from edge, to 3G, to no data signal. I go stand on my porch, get 3G.... they still don't send.... but they don't fail to send, they just sit there with that stupid envelope next to them or that spinning circle (handcent).

About a month ago i noticed that contrary to before, pics i download from the web cant be seen in any app.
I only see them in the dowloads folder, and when i open them i dont have a share option, only "details", "print" and "set as".
I just picked up the Nexus 5 a week ago and other than battery life and Hangouts I think the phone is awesome! Anyways I'm having a weird intermittent problem when I send texts through Hangouts and I'm not sure whats causing the issue. I've had Hangouts send roughly a dozen texts through thinking they were picture texts. I've had my friends answer me back saying "I didn't receive the picture", and I never tried to send a pic?I'm also not really keen on Hangouts, whats a simple to use, bug free messaging app?

I don't want to lose everything when I instal CM, so any good backup facilities which can backup my games progress, pictures and stuff like that?

View 11 Replies View RelatedWhy is it that contact pictures are blurry on the evo? If someone in my contacts calls their picture shows up (taken from the evo camera mind you) very blurry and pixelated... Ive also noticed that pictures in the internet browser are super compressed...

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I disable the pictures in my contacts and everywhere else? I don't have pictures of every contact (grandma doesn't Facebook and my work doesn't have a pic of itself). Frankly, I feel it is a huge waste of space to have the ghostly silhoette cluttering up everything.

If this happens to you:
Go to Contacts
Click Menu
Click Add Friends
Click Facebook (not add account)
Check mark the friends you would like to add... IMPORTANT name spelling must be the same to go over without a hitch.
If the name is different and you've ALREADY added the facebook photo... Click on the name in the contact list. Click link... a suggestion should pop up. Select it.
I looked through the forums but didn't see any answer to this issue; I have a DINC and when I logged in to Facebook the first time and linked the photos they all showed up; but now when people update their picture, it doesn't update on my Incredible. I tried logging out and back in then 'resyncing' it again to no avail. Any resolution to this problem? I see that some Evo and Hero users are having the same problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I'm sitting here trying to add pictures to all of my contacts. Is there an easier way to do this? Such as Facebook? I've never understood how Facebook syncs with my contacts, and I'm not even sure if our phone is capable of this.
Also, for the contacts I do have pictures of, how do I make them larger? When that person calls, their picture is tiny and doesn't fill the designated area for the picture. I'm currently using BH_MAN's updated BH2 stock rom.
Anyone else having problems where the pictures are all blurry? When I make calls and the picture of the person I'm calling pops up, it's looks horrible. Any way to change that?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had all my Desire Z contacts on the 'Phone' account, and now want to move them to Gmail, so that I can then completely disable the 'Phone' account, and start using the 'Google' account, so that my contacts remain syncronised between Gmail and my Desire Z ..
Now I've managed to export a vCard file from my phone and have imported the contacts into Gmail. The only problem is that contact photos have not been ported over..So how can I export contacts from my phone WITH the pictures as well ?
Or, alternatively, where on my phone filesystem does Android store contact pictures ? I can then bring them to my PC, and manually add them to Gmail contacts quickly ..
