Is there anyone successfully sort first name in Contacts? I did try to set it from display option with all sources, any hints? My previous HTC Desire Z works fine with it, not sure is Galaxy Note bug or not.
Open contacts tab, menu/settings/more/display options, it's in there. Works fine on mine with stock gb.
What ROM are you on?

I knew the option of sorting and display function at there, similar to other android mobile, i can change sort by or display by last name or first name, but just has no different, always sort and display last name first, strange.
My GNote is the original rom, from Hong Kong, whatever the previous and update firmware, language setting, data source, no different.

hey guys,
testing the chinese xt883 stock rom these days.
apart from extensive battery drain i have one big problem:
all my contacts (which are about 500) are displayed in contacts view but when someone calls me the phone won't show the assiocated contact name to the number but only the caller id itself!?
when i go to call list and add the same number again to the contact the next time the person calls me the contact name is correctly associated and displayed.
same problem in text messaging also, but not with every contact?!
you see i don't want to manually edit all my contacts to make the phone know which number belongs to which contact ...
anyone know how to fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the xt883 ROM on an xt862 for gsm functionality? If so, any reason in particular you chose this ROM? Do you know about flashing the xt883 radio.img to get gsm on the xt862? It works great and doesn't force me to use the Chinese ROM lol.
sure i know about flashing the radio.img only but i also want the other benefits of the xt883, like call firewall, call record, bluetooth transfer, hardware decoding and so on.
what's included in the radio.img? is the cell standby issue fixed when flashing the radio.img only?
thanks!

Do you mean the battery life due to having the cell radio on standby? I've only used the phone on T-Mobile so I don't really have a comparison for that. I've noticed wifi reception is a little weak, so I'm wondering if that has to do with the radio.img. I read that the xt883 is only rated for 802.11 b/g, so that would explain it.
I mainly use stock xt862 ROM because I tried the xt883 ROM and didn't like having to do the work around for Gapps and all the Chinese bloatware included. I didn't know about any exclusive benefits, but I don't think I'd need them now that you mention them.
I really just wanted gsm functionality and the stock ROM with the radio tweak works just fine for that.

Also, if you're interested in seeing what it includes, you can look in the dev section where the thread is and just download the zip to look at the files.

I've got the same problem.
To solve it I've added the country code to all the contacts.
That worked for me 100%
(Sorry for resuming an old thread)

i also got the same problem , i had restored all contacts and sms via app.
i imported the contacts to sdcard, then via file manager opened the vcf file manually and my contacts were updated again.
then all contacts displayed correctly when calls came or anything.
Hi everybody,
Since I'm using ICS ROM 4.03 (now on CM9 Build 16), I get screen corruption when using market or surfing on internet with active wifi. Sometimes also when I use google music but only when wifi is active. You can see what happen on picture attached. Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks.
Looks like language settings getting messed up. What language are you set to? Maybe try switching language to a different one and then back again. I hope that's what you're referring to.
Thanks,
I've just found the origin of the issue : it was the clock widget that I used everytime. I removed it and now no problem anymore.
Hi, sorry if this is a noob question, but whenever someone sends me a picture message, why do i receive it as a video, even when its not a video. Also the picture and video size is very small when viewing it... any help is appreciated..thank you.

What ROM are you running? Stock or custom ROM. Also what carrier
I'm running MeDroid - v6.1 - 7.2. My carrier is Mobilicity.
Not too familiar with that ROM or carrier but look to see if you have any kind of settings to change User's Agent. Look in the stock messaging app.
I do have an option to change user agent...which one shouls I use?

Find a device that you know is an official phone for your carrier. Nokia N95 work for most.
My galaxy note seems to reset the wallpaper layout to spread across each pane instead of staying as the whole picture on each pane (which I set it to do). I don't know why this is and I'm getting fed up of having to change it. This is my main query.
My note also just reset itself whilst I was in the middle of a phone call.
When updating to ICS the layouts were reset so there were no apps that I wanted on the main screen, no widgets whee I had set them up and no bookmarked internet pages. This doesn't matter now as I have gone through the trouble of doing it all again, but I thought it might be useful for people to know if they are considering to buy this phone.
I've seen an aweful lot of good reviews for this phone, but I'm beginning to wonder why.
You obviously downloaded a full wipe version of pics, or possibly wiped yourself during the process. Pretty standard behavior really, not sure it needs a thread about it!

There's too many people on here that act cocky, just because they know more than somebody else. Do you get enjoyment out of it?
As it happens though, you were no help at all because you haven't answered my question.
I don't know why the layout keeps changing on its own. I've got no idea what you mean about a full wipe version of pics. I have downloaded nothing of the sort. All I have done is taken a picture and set it as my wallpapaer, but the phone decides to spread the picture across all the panes after a while and I have to keep changing it back.
Sorry, that was supposed to be ics not pics.
What I meant was the old add age of a bad worker always blames his tools, the rom seems to be behaving normally.
And you didn't ask any questions, just slagged off a great phone

Ok... Why does my wallpapaer layout change on its own? There you go... The fact is, you still don't know the answer and you haven't helped me.
'A bad worker blames his tools'
I don't really know what that has to do with anything. I just use the phone as normal and the wallpaper layout changes on its own. Nothing to do with me or how I use it.
And as I mentioned, the phone restarted whilst I was in the middle of a phone call... To me, that doesn't sound like a great phone.

Ok. Assuming you're using TW Launcher, goto "Applications" > "Settings" > "Display" > "Home Screen Wallpaper" > Select your favourite wallpaper here > choose the second layout (with one column > the right option not the left one) and you'll have a non moving non spreaded wallpaper.
Hi djpianz
I have done this and that's what I have to keep doing every time I turn my phone on.
When I turn my phone on it seems to have reset to spread accross all the panes.
Problem still not solved. It still happens every time I turn my phone off and on again.
I did have that same issue on gb. I know its not a fix, but a work around, but have you considered a 3rd party launcher?

Spydertracks. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 3rd party launcher and how do I go about using one? Problem still persists.

A launcher is what gives the phone its visual style. So touchwiz is a launcher and there are various others eg. Launcher7, adw, go launcher, spb shell 3d. They each add different functionality and provide sensation to the home screen, folder and app drawer layout.
Have a look at each of of them on play store and see what you think.

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace duos, and i installed the facebook app on it... now i noticed that the Bengali language font is not supported (boxes show up instead of the characters)
Now i think its the fault of the phone, not the app, since i can see the text all right on the facebook app on my sony tablet s ...but the odd thing is that i know that the phone supports bengali text, cz when i first bought the phone it had a bangladeshi sim card in it, and during inital set up when the region selection option came up, 'bangladesh' was written in bengali... but i selected united kingdom cz i wanted my phone to be in english....(yeah i know it wasnt language setting, but i couldnt risk having the whole phone in bengali permanently)
well anyways i dont have bengali in my languages list, just english and korean and some different forms of arabic....and i have no idea how to bring it..total newbie
So basically my question is.... how do i get bengali support on my facebook app?
My phone isnt rooted, and i think its still running...gingerbread...but ill give more details once someone helps out
Sorry for the super long post,just wanted to give as much info as possible
