Database Info

[Q] Call Logs Display

Guys, a little help needed. I am totally frustrated by how the call logs are displayed on the Infuse. The call logs show the name of the person and below it shows the phone number of the person instead of whether the call was made/from the persons cell/home/office etc. So if a person on my contact list has multiple phones (cell, home etc), how do I figure where they called from.
Ideal setup would be:
John Doe
Mobile
Rather than:
John Doe
123-456-7890
Doesn't this bother anyone? Any way to display this information?
Searched the forums but no dice. Sorry if answered already someplace.
Thanks a bunch.

First off this is posted in the wrong section. This is not a dev question
However, Call log display bugs me too. I text as often as possible to avoid it. Or just wait for someone to call me

Apologies if posted in the wrong forum. The only reason I posted this here was that this does not seem to be stock Infuse functionality and only a developer could "maybe" change this in a ROM release so it is a bit more user friendly.

Stock Froyo restore with root

I flash my GF's phone with Gingerbread and after a few roms shes having voicemail notification and low wifi calling volume issues. Ive been told flashing back to Froyo will fix these so ive decided to return the phone back to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this? Maybe an Odin file containing the stock rom? I would like it to have root again but its not a requirement. I can always root it again myself. Main thing at the moment is completely restoring it to how it was from the factory.

You can flash this via ODIN. From there you can use Kies Mini to get back to stock.
If you're just wanting KD1 with root, check out the Bible.
The Bible is a good read; it has a lot of stuff in it.

Unless your gf is giving you too much grief about making her phone meet it's potential... you should update her rom to one of the new official amazing custom GB roms. Any issue she could have has been or is being addressed. You need to read. READ. Search for your issues and read. Don't waste people's time asking questions like this as you will learn more figuring it out on your own.
I had a voicemail notification issue... I read and figured out you need the Visual Voicemail app to have functioning voicemail. Your wifi issue has been discussed thoroughly MANY times. Read and u shall be enlightened with knowledge and can impress her with an amazing phone.
As the last poster said you are on 2.3.3. That was before the devs had the official code. Follow their direction, flash an official rom, read the forum for issues and fixes the rom may have (even stock roms have issues) and give her phone back improved.

Thank you. I will try flashing the WiFi calling listed in that thread first to see if it fixes the low sound problem. My main point was I wanted to restore it back to 100% factory stock for a fresh start.

She does not care about potential, she wants reliability. I dont want anything custom I just want it back to how it was shipped from the factory. I have read plenty. Last time I was here Gingerbread was out for these phones and people were using it with no issues, however that is not the case for me. I was told that the only way to fix those issues were to go back to Froyo so thats all I was asking. Visual voicemail is already installed in the phone but that is not a fix, that is a workaround. I need to fix the issue. I dont even want an official rom that has issues. I want the one it came with when it was shipped so its reliable and functional. If it was my phone I would be all for messing with it but I dont need to be troubleshooting her phone all the time. I am experienced with HTC's not Samsungs, all this Samsung formatted ROM business is confusing to me. All I was asking was a simple "Flash this via Odin to get back to stock" kinda answer, not for someone to tell me to read. It was a simple question that required a simple answer.

Sorry, but that simple question really only required a simple search.
A simple search and a little effort would have brought you to this thread, and solve your dilemma.

I think if you had made the effort to find a fix and actually READ you might understand why I encouraged you to read up on it instead of asking the redundant question that has been answered more than once in the forum. All these lazy questions clog the forum with junk threads that bury all the good information. Think about it that way.

Visual voicemail is not a work around. If it is not installed u will not get voicemail notifications.

If you read a little maybe you would see the frustration from the developers from people not reading. We need these guys! We don't need to keep pissing them off and making it not worth their effort to share their work with all of us!!

Im pretty sure the Q&A forum is for questions and answers. I did not post a question in the Development thread. Im not too sure how asking how to stock restore a phone will piss any developers. Cant expect everything good to stay on the first page forever. Remember theres a search feature to find anything that will get buried

Glad you found your answer....

Just an update. Restored the phone with the KD1 file a few posts back. It worked like a charm. Everything is back to normal and 100% working, even have root still. Thanks to all that helped.

Voicemail Notification Missing

I know it's an old posting and solved problem, but not for me. I've been receiving normal Voicemail notifications for months - after rooting my phone and removing the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Then, suddenly, 3 days ago, the notification icon simply disappeared. So, sometimes the answers posted here are helpful and correct for many users, but they are certainly not foolproof. Criticizing someone who posts a question and assuming that person did no research toward solving the problem is shortsighted.
Also, I just restored the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app using the free version of Titanium Backup. This did get the notification icon to start working again - at least for one test message left by my wife. Too soon to see if it this fix will last.
My questions are these: why did my Voicemail notification work fine for months - without the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app installed, and what made the icon stop working?

No idea. But, I had same issue long long time ago. delete data from TMV app with titanium and then delete the whole app. re download it from playstore, install and was good to go. Try it.

[Q] DATA won't work on CM9 ICS build [from Cerqueira]

Anyone had this issue as well? DATA won't work!
Thanks

i seen something about that in the general section under Macksters248 post towards the end of the thread i believe. i think it was for simple mobile.

Thanks. Searching in these long threads , once thread reaches certain length, becomes impossible. Not to mention getting your q's answered
Not getting DATA.

^ THIS is why the ICS beta for G2x is not posted here.
CM9 is not a full release, has a bunch of disclaimers attached to it, and is not yet supported.
Devs that bust their as*es on a rom for 5 months or so don't want to put up with a bunch of "this won't work, that won't work, please help me" posts as soon as their rom is made available. Unfortunately, that is what the majority of the thread over in General consists of. So guess what will happen when the release is posted in Development?
Spend some time searching around and reading the threads. The answer to your issue is out there. If you're not willing to find it, then go back to whatever rom you had before.

In your mobile networks settings, within the apn you use, make sure encryption is explicitly set to something, even if it is none. My carrier needs none, but cm7 on my phone defaulted in none set, which wouldn't work.

Hate to admit it cuz im a nice guy usually but your right. Sometimes i even would go as far as saying i wish our g2x wouldnt even receive ics, so at least most if not all the crybabies would leave our forums and do that **** elsewhere.

(un)OFFICIAL "CyanogenMod 9 (unofficial)[TeamChopsticks]" Q&A Thread

PREFACE:
Okay, I'm sure like many of you, I'm starting to get a bit tired of development threads being turned into repetitive Q&A threads where questions go unanswered, so I thought I'd start a thread here in the PROPER section and provide a link in the official thread that (hopefully) doesn't get buried. So please, if someone keeps asking a repeat question, direct them here so proper development in that thread doesn't get buried.
SO ANYWAYS,
So far, I'll just leave this here and let it get populated, and update the OP accordingly as common issues come in. Hard to tell when exactly build 2a issues came about, because many issues were fixed (as well as found) when 2/2a was released.
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE
Check here first: Google Code Issue Page
This is a collaboration of all major issues that have been presented and have been fixed in major alpha updates. If you have an issue that's listed here, please don't ask about it, as it's already been acknowledged and probably already being worked on.
If you have a potential answer to any of those problems, please, feel free to post what worked for you to fix it. (After all, this is a Q&A thread, right? )
I'll try and keep this OP updated as much as I can with issues that are presented but not on the Google code page. Just thought I'd make this thread to ease a bit off the main thread and also make users' subscriptions to it actually USEFUL and not have them be notified when someone is simply asking how to get Instagram working or when we'll get sources.

Could be just me maybe I should do a fresh install. But I have noticed when I restore cm9 from recovery I miss calls an texts randomly.

I think that may actually be a problem with the rom itself. There is a known issue that cell signal drops every so often, and that may be what is causing you to miss things. One of the big reasons top doesn't recommend this as a daily driver quite yet.

Yeah LOL bit too late figuring that out...after the gf yelling I been texting an calling all day. Maybe I should actually be glad got rid of one head ache CM9 ftw :thumbup:

Attitudes on forum sites

I recently had a problem finding a Rom on the site. I kept going to all the pages and nothing I did worked when I tried to bring up the Rom on my computer. I asked in the section Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. Is there an update to my Rom. Instead of getting an answer I got things like can't you read huh. I then asked a direct yes or no and got a Yes Man answer. I tried to click on the title Rom and it kept taking me to another forum page and nothing there showed the answer.
After several nasty you got be kidding stuff. I went to my phone and went on the site from my phone. When I clicked on the title Rom on the page it took me to the site where the download was. My browser on my computer was not working with the site.
If someone would have said that or said something like did you try clicking on the title using another browser it would have been nicer than all the nasty remarks I got.
I am new to this and I do not spend a lot of time reading the site as I am very busy working and raising a family. I love having the site and I love using the Rom's for my phones. I wish people would be nicer and not so arrogant.

Don't take this the wrong way. I honestly peruse as much as I can in the morning and then try to respond to what I can during the day. But 99% of the time I run out of time to reply so it's far more reading than typing.
If left on your own the other thing you can try to do is refine your search criteria. Try to get as specific as possible and include the device name or model. This may get you closer to the answer you're looking for as well.

Root lucid 1 was posted in the 'General' forum, not in Questions & Answers.
Lg lucid problems with fpse was posted correctly in the Q&A forum. However, there is no forum dedicated to this device, there is likely to be very little development for, or knowledge of, it as a result. Also, this post appears to be asking about ways to circumvent licence checks on a Playstation emulator - XDA does not exist to support any form of piracy, and you would be much better off asking these sort of questions somewhere else such as the emuparadise forums instead.
People aren't deliberately ignoring you but many, like me, will skim through the threads, click on anything that sounds unusual, and help if they can - if they can't that is another person who has viewed your thread, and with over 5 Million members that will happen quite frequently.

I think looking at the post and not replying isn't such a big deal, but i have been in the same situation where someone has time to type a condescending reply to try to make the person feel like crap, but not enough time to help with the answer except to say its in one or more of the 80 pages of the current thread.
so when I see a question that has been answered before and I know the answer I sometimes just takes the 30-45 seconds to quickly answer the question without bothering to point out that its been answered before.

It isn't perfect, but it's not that bad. Also, using Google to do the search and starting the search with

will give a much more precise and accurate search result.

XDA is a Developers community, not a Tech Support Helpdesk. We are not here to teach you the basics of how to use your computer.
The suggestion of testing in another browser is something you should do by default if a website doesn't work properly.
We're happy to help newcomers, but there is a limit to every person's patience. This limit usually lies at the point where people show up on an advanced tech community and don't even know how to properly use bloody Google.com. And because this happens at least 40 times a day, that patience is stretched very thin for most.

The gear icon behind the search bar is Advanced Search. There you can select Posts for the result as opposed to threads. (bottom left.) This will list the individual posts.
And if you're in a thread, above the thread is another search bar: Search in this thread. This will show all the posts in that thread with the keywords you type in there.
It's not useless if you look for more than 3 seconds

You guys must remember,we all cant be jolly all the time,developers have jobs and families also,besides doing this for you guys for free,hours and hours and days,maybe weeks go by while trying to get the bugs out of a rom that everyone wants,while in the meantime,the guys boss or ole lady is yelling at them to get their ducks in a row and quit slacking,when all their trying to do is contribute to the community and make you happy,soo when a developer or some other forum contributor doesnt answer your question right away,its not you.Just be patient someone will eventually come along and answer it,also you need to remember alot of questions that are asked,can easily be google or searched here on the forum and you will find the answer yourself or figure it out on your own.Your right though at the same time,we shouldnt be grumpy towards people trying to fix something or learn.
