I've restored my I-Mate JAM from backup, as I have just got it back from repair.
However, Photo Contacts needed photos assigning again. The thing is the app now crashes whenever you click the Preview button. It seems fine when on an incoming call and for assigning pics, but whenever the Preview button is clicked the app freezes.
Is there anything to check for? Does anyone know where it stores all it's settings - I could just go and delete these to give it a fresh start.
Ta!

Hi all,
Just set up an account here as I've had a problem with my XDA Orbit 2. It was knocked out of my hand the other day (not the first time it's been dropped though) and when I picked it up, it appeared to be restarting, so I thought nothing of it (thought perhaps the battery had come loose or something).
After a few minutes, I had a look at it and realised it had reset itself to the factory settings. So I go through that process and after it goes through that whole process, when I got to the today screen, I did a quick scan and found that all my messages and emails were still there (and the settings too), all the files and pictures I had on the phone were present... the only things that appear to have been affected are my contacts list and calendar details (birthdays, appointments etc). These are simply gone!
I went to Settings --> Menu and noticed that some of the menu items I could select were doubled (I have, for example "Calendar" and "Calendar (1)", "Phone" and "Phone (1)" and "Contacts" and "Contacts (1)". Long story short... I managed to open these (contacts in particular), but there's no informtion there at all. I also had a look at the PIM.VOL file (it was about 350kb) and extracted all the subfiles, but the contacts file was empty (0 records). So the question is: are my contacts actually gone? I'm hoping not, seeing as everything else is still on the phone, but I know this isn't a guarantee...
Sorry for the long message, but hopefully someone can give me an idea of what to do. If anything!
Thanks in advance.
I just thought I would put this out there for anyone who might be experiencing the same problem I was on my Captivate.
After many flashes, restores with Titanium Backup, updates, etc, I found myself unable to send email from the Gmail app. I could read email and download attachments just fine, but whenever I hit the send button, they just hung there. Reboots did nothing... in fact I didn't really notice it until I went to the "view labels" and noticed that there were a ton of messages in my Outbox.
Anyway, there is a quick fix for this:
- Go to: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
- Then open Menu and select Filter
- Choose "All" (which means Show All, not Filter All)
- Now, find the Gmail app and select it.
- Click the "Clear Cache" button.
After doing this, everything in my Outbox finally sent and everything was right and good in the world again.
hope this helps...

Were you looking at the Gmail app or the Gmail data?
Gmail data will be greyed out, because the whole thing is cache.
The Gmail app will become greyed out once the cache has been cleared.
This is going to be a challenge trying to get my point across, but here goes.
Lets say i have one image/video in the gallery and i wish to delete this image/video, i mark it for deletion then select delete, the image/video seems to get deleted, i hit the home button and then re-enter the gallery and the image/video has gone, or has it? now, while still in the gallery if i press the back button to exit the gallery then start the gallery again the image/video is now back, it doesn't matter how many times i delete the image/video, it allways comes back, even afer a reboot, now here's the really strange bit, when i check to see if the files have been delete from the USB storage using a file browser i find that they infact have been deleted, but they still show up in the gallery, this behaviour occurs with all image and video files, camera files, received files over bluetooth, etc.
I hope you all can understand what i am trying to say and i hope i got my point across ok, btw, this is the second Nexus S i've had that exibits this issue, i've also done a few factory resets on both Nexus S's i've had, but this issue just wont go away.
This seems to me like it's a bug in Android 2.3's gallery app, does anyone else see this very strange behaviour? could someone test this on thier Nexus S? does Google know about this issue?
BTW, this issue only seems to occur when i delete all images and videos in all folders, or if i delete all folders that are in the gallery, i would have mentioned this earlier but i had only took one video and one pic to test the camera.
Just after a restart I noticed my contact pictures weren't appearing in my stock messaging app, they appear when I view the contact, just not within the app itself, any fixes?
This just started happening after I changed my recovery.

no help?
Did you ever figure out what happened? This same thing just happened to me today!
I'm not sure if this is a recent problem or if I'm just doing something wrong, but for some reason every time I've recently tried to select a picture on my device for use in another app it will only reset the app after selecting the picture. This has happened on both TweetCaster while trying to attach a photo and on Handcent while trying to Take a new picture which it acts like it does then as soon as I hit okay it resets the app and I guess deletes the picture because I can't find it, this also happens while trying to attach an already saved image and also trying to just set an image on my phone as a background on the conversation window.
Like I said I'm not sure what's going on, but if this can be fixed or anyone knows what's going on please let me know. My phone is not rooted because I'm in the process of contacting Google to replace it so I rather not root it ATM in case any one thinks that a rooting might be the source of the problem.
Thanks in advance,
