[SOLVED] Being forced to save contacts to google account?! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello all,
I've spent over an hour fiddling with my phone + searching the forums and google to no avail.
Issue: I'm forced to save contacts to google acct. which is NOT what I want.
Objective: I'd like to save them directly to SIM card only.
ROM: JellyBeer 3.57.3
Options: Accounts Sync is off (nothing is syncing)
Thanks in advance.

Bump!

when you add a contact, it ask you very clearly if you want to save the contact to your google account or not. This is basic android operating....I will not post another reply or even open this thread .............I'm going to to take an asprin......opening a thread around here is like playing russian roulette these days
btw, the time between you opening this thread and you bumping your own thread (double posting...just rude) could have been used to actually read what was showing up on your phone screen and/or using google to figure out the answer. I wish I had the time to post questions and and wait for other people to give me the answers to my problems. Must be nice

Re: [Q] Being forced to save contacts to google account?!
Maybe you're not searching correctly? I know how to do it. It's simple.

Aren't we feeling a bit almighty when we THINK we know or understand things better than others?
And it DOES NOT ask me to store my contacts under SIM or Phone, it only shows my email. I'm not blind.

In that same square to the right of your email address is a small triangle(arrow). Select it and it will bring up a menu allowing you to select "Google", "Sim", and "Phone." Unless the JellyBeer ROM does not have that option.

Unfortunately, that's not working. It seems that it is disabled or unavailable.
I found an app that provides a temporary workaround.
Thanks.

[Q] Homescreen Shortcut direct to dialer?

I there anyway to have a button / icon on the homescreen that directly opens the dialer. So that I don't have to open the dialer via contacts then scroll the tab left. I can't find a shortcut or widget that does it. Have done a few searches but to no avail. Any help provided would be gratefully received.
+1 to this.
I'm thoroughly confused by this question. There's an app called "phone dialer".
there's an app called phone, but it opens the phone app at contacts, not the dialer.
Okay - I guess we have different firmware that have different apps then. When you scroll the tabs to the left to get to the dialer, does it not remember that next time you open the app?
Alternatively, and if you'd be happy with a 3rd party replacement, look at GO Contacts. It installs as both a contacts app and a dialer, and really is very good. I'm all over GO apps at the minute!
I just use the free "no lock" screen app, then all you have to do is press the dialler button once the phone wakes up.

If you don't know what facepalm means then just google it. As for why, read the thread properly.
Ohh, yes my mistake jumping to conclusions, so many threads and so little time,
You could have told me a little more subtly and saved my embarrassment.

The things I'm most annoyed about JB.

1) 2 steps to select the item you want to use. It used to be that you would select the item and that's it, if you wanted to make it default you would check mark the make default. Now you need to select always or only once and then select the item.
2) In the gmail expanded mode I would like to see only emails that arrived since the last time I looked at the list in gmail.
3) Still no snooze options
What's your list?
ummmmm

Maybe someone at Google will listen.
But anyway you guys are just rude.
1) You provide no context for what you are selecting. Therefore is difficult to know what this complaint is about.
2) Gmail always shows your whole inbox, has been that way since before JB. So that's not a JB issue, rather, an issue you have personally with gmail. Most people want their whole inbox to show. If this isn't what you meant, you need to be more specific.
3) Again, context and details ate vital to people helping you. I assume you're talking about a snooze mode for alarms? I haven't tried JB yet so I don't know what the clock app is like, but as a temporary fix, look in the market for an alternate alarm app.

Nonsense, this dialog has changed visible but functionally it is exactly the same. You set default, or Just once. Just like before, except it's ONE more tap.
FYI he's talking about launching intents without a default; for me I see this primarily when launching a browser as I have several installed.

Facebook build 140579

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and cannot get this to quit! It's not showing up in my downloads, when I try long clicking on it in my active applications it just brings me to my home page and I disabled FB (which is not showing anywhere on my phone but I'm unable to enable in Play Store). PLEASE HELP!

I'm getting it as well, along with a bunch of people who also posted this problem today on Android Central. To fix it, long press on the notification until "app info" pops up. Go into app info, force stop it, and then clear data.
Alternatively, find the app called "downloads" in your app drawer, open it, press the "other downloads" button on the right. You should see the Facebook download with an in progress status. Tick the box next to it and then press the little trashcan icon to delete it.
Problem solved.
Edit: Probably best to do both methods, as it came back on me once after just deleting it from downloads app.
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out what it was either! I have Galaxy S3 with CM10.1 on it. How did this problem hit so many devices and so many ROMs at the same time!?
If this doesn't relate to our phone (the i777) it doesn't belong here. As in an app that has nothing to do with our phone. App problems can be discussed in the apps and games section, via pm, or in the MAIN general thread not related to a specific phone model.

Its a strange problem that affects multiple devices, and many had no idea of knowing if it affected one particular device/ROM or not. Relax.
I got it twice today on my Note 2 running a Touchwiz ROM, so it doesn't seem device dependant. FB Playstore error I would assume.

Oh. My. God. You seriously can't read can you?
Sent from my Zanpakuto using Getsuga Tensho!
I just read online WHY this is happening: Its because Facebook has pushed an update that will allow future updates to happen OUTSIDE of the Play Store (aka silent updates).
I haven't been able to get the direct update to work so far, but The Verge confirms that it is from FB, so it is safe.

[MOD][Xposed] Instagram Section Disabler

Last week I saw some Xposed module request on /r/Xposed. I never made an Xposed module so I thought, why not.
http://www.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/2wyv66/request_removedeactivate_the_explore_area_of/
It allows you to disable different sections of the oh so annoying Explore area in Instagram.
You can choose to disable the people section, photos section or both.
Why? So Instagram doesn't drain data when you're not connected to WiFI and accidentally presses the Explore button.

This is a useful way to save data! Thanks man this helping me alot.
Is it possible to view Instagram without pictures? Like if one just wants to read comments, see followers/following, without the pictures being loaded? That would be awesome if it work tho.
Thanks again!

Thanks for testing it out and for your feedback! I've never thought about blocking the images too and I'm not really sure if that is going to work.
I will give it a try, however, I don't know how long it will take me to achieve this since I am really busy.
Thank you!
Pleasr we need update
I need it for instagram v 6.17.1
If you can help me . Thankyou
I will like to disable comment section

Nice as a start. But design matters a lot especially if you're planning to publish it to the public.
niantic implemented cryption to their go+ Routine -.-

I agree completely, looks like it's out of 2010 or even earlier but my first app was the same way keep working hard and you'll get there!
Hmmm... the background is nice, but remember that the main focus (I hope) is the content, make sure it stands out more than the background. Some of the text doesn't fit in well but the placement and margining is ok I think. The settings and contacts look more nicer than the main menu.
Like others have said, make the foreground elements stand out more. Also, on the menu page you have text in light blue, green, red and white. It makes for a very mixed impression, like you didn't know which color to pick.
You don't need an exit button either, so you can remove that. Also, if the user wants to contact you it's better if you make it a button that starts an Intent to e-mail you. Otherwise the user needs to do everything themselves, open up their mail client, hope to remember and type your email correctly before they can send feedback. Make it easy for the user.
