for this one, go to your gmail account [web] and select "Contacts" and find "More actions" button, under this button..., click "Find & merge duplicates..."
that will take care of your duplicate contact numbers.

I guess google will be your friend ^_^ [hint: search: benefits on rooting android]
Your question about rooting almost applies to all devices and not just this phone alone ^_^
others can add as well...

Download any easy to use system app uninstaller. I used Root Uninstaller, even though it gets kinda buggy sometimes. Back up your apk before uninstalling it, in case something goes wrong and you need it. Also freeze the apk if you think that uninstalling it will cause serious problems.
you can uninstall any bloatware ifyou have any, or other system apps which chomp away at your battery life with their running services. just be careful not to remove anything important.
Download a CPU app which changes your CPU frequency to conserve battery. SetCPU is what I use. SetCPU also provides a pretty detailed explanation to how to use their apk on their website. While you're at it, you can download an overclocking apk as well if you think it lags sometimes when you play games or have alot apps running.
I use the apk, Milestone Overclock. It is simple and works.
This is what I've done after rooting, just giving a few suggestions.

Thanks....Can we increase our app memory? Can I install more than 175mb?

For the app memory problem, download any kinda app that has the keyword APP 2 SD/ Apps2sd. Theres several free apps out there that can do this, and paid apks floating around the internet as well. This is just one of them: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en
It moves your applications into your SD so that you can free up your internal phone storage. The downside of that is sometimes if you connect phone to your usb, you will have no access to the apk on your phone.
ex. if you move texting app to SD, when your computer has access to USB, the cannot work.
So, just move accordingly. Not really much of a big deal.

Hello
Just checked. App 2 Sd is incmpactable with my Milestone XT 720
Now, how rooting or any app help can help me?
P.s - I am sorry to keep bugging u. I hope, m in compliance with forum rules

App2SD only works in 2.2 or higher. I think you're running the stock 2.1 with root? If so, look for an app called Link2SD. You will have to partition your SD card with an additional FAT partition, but otherwise it's very similar to App2SD (it's actually superior in many respects, really).

Thankyou. Yea...All Milestone XT 720 are 2.1 . I have installed Link2SD...Now, how to create partition? Btw, is rooting important for this app n procedure?

search for reverendkjr on youtube and watch his videos. there is a step by step video for almost every question you have asked.

Read my thread this will help you. Androidiani has an option to remove the camera click.
Also reverend is a valued member of this forum and his videos have helped all of us. Please refrain from calling something you dont understand fishy.

You can get rid of the camera click sound by going into /system/media/audio/ui and delete the camera_click.oog file or rename it to something else (like .goo) so you don't have to delete it.
Obviously make backups before doing this though.

[Q] GTA lll: 10 year anniversary

Hi guys
I downloaded and installed the 8.67MB file from the Android Market on my XOOM but when I open the app it says "You have to download additional files to play" this is 442MB and the app closes when it reaches 1% or 2. You guys have any idea why this happens and any solution?

It might be because of their servers. You do have enough space, right?
Also, shouldn't this be available for Galaxy S2 as well? I can't find it in the Android Market.

Then the servers are really a little bit to busy.
Just try it in some hours again.

That's not a logical reason, is it? cause it tells me i don't have an active connection.

Added latest version 0.9.0 So far you can download it from google play, but if google will remove it, you can download uploaded apk
2012.06.14 SEEMS THAT GOOGLE REMOVED FROM PLAY STORE.
TESTED ON GALAXY NOTE, GALAXY S3 AND IT IS WORKING.

Downloading and trying with SGS2.

atm faced up with this issue "a MAJOR CPU hog AFTER it has been closed. I understand it using a large amount of CPU during its activity.. but after i exit it continues to keep CPU at 100% until i reboot... "" but if you want to use this app and dont want to have this issue- you will need to make reboots after you have used that app.

If you download it might me cool to mirror the APK. I predict this is removed within 2 days by Google

yeh ok no problem i think also, google will remove it

Looks interesting, gonna give it a try. But why does it require so much SD space?

It doesn't work for me. And I also had the huge cpu usage after closing the app until I restarted the phone.

I have a suggestion. You know how the WifiKiller app is able to detect the card manufacturer? For e.g. "Apple Computer" would show up with the ipaddress? Is it possible to implement something like this

This app seems nice but I second that!

hmm guys....any other ways of stopping it from using max CPU after you close the app besides restarting the phone.
tried force closing the app but my cpu still stays at max.

This runs a debian image background. It uses it to do the actions.

Sir,
You are creating a real evil software.
Congratulations for that!!

OP: I'm a network administrator and someone showed me this and I don't understand how it works.. how do I prevent people from doing this sort of thing on my network? Pretty sure this is on the same lines as WifiKill if I'm correct? The device use arp and pretends to be the router?

3 'New' cool apps

Hey guys,
I just wanted to inform you about two apps I found recently that appear to boost performance and battery life a bit.
The one that boosts performance is a better and more efficient version of Seeder. It's called SeFix and (as opposed to Seeder) really does seem to work!
The second (the battery booster) is actually way more versatile:
It's called Greenify and it lets you disable apps to run in the background.
Eg. I set it to decline the Google Maps request to run in the background all the time; because as we all know, Maps often sucks somewhere near 7% of the battery.
(However, it needed me to root uninstall it and then install it from the play store, so it wasn't a system app anymore)
Anyway: I hope this helped and that it makes your device nicer to use (like it did for me)
Last but not least: as you are probably aware: Orange Backup is a backup app that lets you do complete (CWM or TWRP style backups) without having to go into the recovery!
Really awesome.

I guess you could use it for Facebook too, to keep it from running in the background all the time.
Or... You could also *not* use Facebook and switch to cooler social media, such as Google+

Greenify looks the app I have been looking for. Maps constantly runs in the background (not on my tf700 but on HTC One S). I am trying this app to see if it works. Thanks for sharing!

You might have to root uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store (to get rid of the 'system app' issue).
It worked for me
Definitely some better battery life after stopping those battery hungry apps

:good: thank you, i will try them... :victory:

Never happened to me.
Are you using data2sd?
Maybe it's confused because of the switch?
I can only say that it works like a treat for me and that it makes these backups quite fast considering that it doesn't need to boot into recovery.
Have you tried contacting the developer? He's called snoopy333 and is to be found in the original thread. Maybe he can tell you what's going on?

Thank you for sharing the existence of greenify.
EXCELLENT
How do I block the playstore?
Titanium Backup does not turn me or makes user application and remains in system application.
thanks

No data2sd, I installed it, went well, config backup desitnation folder which is on my sdcard or microsdcard (tried both). Did you use cloud instead of internal storage? I uninstalled/reinstalled still same issue, WTF! This app seems very well done.

I tried TWRP (compression disabled, maybe the key lies there) and let it back-up locally.
But I have indeed also backed everything up to the cloud.
Both worked fine...
Have you contacted the dev yet? I am kind of curious what causes this issue

Thanks, but I already tried with and without compression, also with md5 settings also (tried them all), even reboot my device before launch the app. I may have to contact the dev see what's going on.

I contacted the developer and he resolved my issue. This issue was busybox. I re installed busybox and bam everything is working as expected. BTW, his service is excellent, send him an email and 10min later I got his reply. Can't beat that for a free app!! Thanks.

Yeah like I said: go into Titanium Back-up, select Google Maps and convert it to user app (or root uninstall Maps and reinstall it through the Play Store)
Afterwards, you should be able to select it for Greenify!

[Q] Xperia Miro Help

I have some question for my Miro new phone.
I searched the threads and I cannot find answers for some of my issues.
First of all is there any way to overclock, I know the only kernel is Vengeance but its not supporting overcloking now!
Second i have really laggy zooming, scrolling phone within browsers. I tried all browsers and still laggy zooming and scrolling. Maybe some app may fix it?
Also is there any app which can help to stop some process during game play and then restore them ?
I used some task killers but the system apps keep starting and I dont think I am gaining smth from them.
For instance I play Beach Buggy and no matter the graphic options I have lag.
So is there anything I could do except a new phone?
Thanks
I am using FXP221.
