The only setting that can be changed for the primary Windows Live ID is Email sync. Calendar, Contacts, and everything else will sync automatically and you cannot disable that.

Pre-Installed Bookmarks

Anybody know how to edit the system settings that set the default pre-installed bookmarks in the stock browser? I am using Dolphin for Pad and Dolphin HD but neither of them seems to want to play nice on my 8.9 LTE. So I have to use the stock browser a lot of the time and I absolutely hate that they will not allow you to remove the pre-installed bookmarks. What a bunch of morons forcing that kind of stuff on us. Anyway what file or system setting would possibly eradicate these annoying bookmarks?
If i setup sync with google crome, it offers to delete all locally stored bookmarks.

This apparently does not work anymore, http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=63eebdb9d371658d&hl=en&start=40
Is there any way to get rid of these crappy stock bookmarks?
Longpress the bookmark and click delete
I don´t know if it´s a difference in the rom between the LTE version and mine. I have a 3g tab

These are bookmarks that cannot be removed that way, they are carrier forced and protected bookmarks.
Alright. Sorry. Didn´t know. You can see my edit.

Except, of course, that that guy complaining to Google is full of ****. It works. Was working on mine from day 1. And I just factory reset my Tab this morning and set it all up again and it still nukes the AT&T bookmarks just fine when doing a Chrome sync.
Of course, you need to actually have Chrome bookmarks to sync. If you're using Firesux, Suxfari or Exploder, that ain't gonna help.

At that link I provided to a google forum its not one guy, its many many many people.
I have still yet to get bookmarks to sync properly between chrome and my 8.9 LTE.
Bookmark sync works for me, on 4 devices. Some time ago i had problems on GT10.1 but i believe this was a problem with Samsung firmware.
Well I finally managed to get rid of those damn ATT bookmarks.
Tried everything, kies sync, chrome sync, all the other things I found on the web.
The only way I was able to get rid of them was to manually edit the browsers sqlite database with SQLite Editor.
Using that I was able to fully nuke those links!
Yay!

Would you mind outlining the steps you took to edit the db file and where you found it in would love to do the same thing.

My google bookmarks don't sync correctly. It only syncs some of the bookmarks.

Mine comes through my calendar I had to make sure that it was going to my device from the m.google.com/sync that shows you devices setup for sync. And make sure in your phone's calendar you select your google account. I know you may have tried just suggestion.

You can, however, not connect to EAS Services now already. If you add a new google account in windows phone it will use imap.

No, you can still connect EAS. I have it connected on Lumia 920 and 2 days on reinstalled HTC Titan.
Select Exchange account and add your Gmail account and password, server name is m.google.com, instructions are from old WM but still it works on WP 7 and 8

That was not the question. The question is how can I make the Google calendar as a Live Tile?
You have the regular Calendar tile. If you want more Information you will have to rely on third Party Apps like WeekView 7 that do allow for customized Calendar Live Tiles displaying a lot of Information in different ways.

AT&T address book!

Does anyone else have the issue of "people" opening slowly? Do you access contacts in another way?
Sorry if this has been asked, been searching...
finally on Kitkat 4.4.2 from 4.2 (AT&T XT1058)
For contacts/people, it's the AT&T contacts app, but every time you open it, it takes like 10 seconds to open, not like "contacts" was
If I go through the dialer, it's quicker, but you have to then go to all contacts
Is there a "contacts" app on the phone like I'm used to? I have Nova launcher, so if it's a system "activity", I can make a shortcut for it, been looking
Thanks much!

Thanks, I tried that, but it also opened the AT&T address book
Edit: just tried again, it's the people app that opens AT&T address book on the phone
Anyone with AT&T have this problem?
Thanks
Honestly I find the At&t address book extremely outdated and annoying. it surprises me they even offer it on Android devices...
I simply froze the Address Book through Titanium backup and am done with that nonsense!
Thanks. I also would gladly freeze the app, but wondering what you use for your Google contacts?

I used TiBu to uninstall the ATT address book (need root). You should be able to freeze it. Google contacts works normally now.

Thanks, I have root, and i have Titanium backup pro, I can and do freeze apps.
The app is "people" that opens AT&T address book, Is "people" the app you froze? And what did you click on for an address book then?
Thanks

Since I uninstalled it, I don't remember what it was called exactly. I remember it being obvious what it was called in TiBu. I just use Google contacts. Same icon that has always been on the home screen.

Thanks, I couldn't find why that launches AT&T address book, and i couldn't find a shortcut to "contacts" in any system activities. I'll try it. Are you on 4.4.2?

I looked in System/Apps and couldn't find it either. Not sure where exactly it resides, but it only launches when the Contacts app is launched. And yes, I have 4.4.2. The same method worked in 4.4 as well.

Thanks! That did it, interesting, that now hitting the same icon just opens Google contacts I guess it was "bundled" into one action.
