I dont think pc companion will recognize phone with cm... cm is completely new built, diferent from stock. So you will not restore phone book this way. As far as i can remember, you can open the phonebook in pc and overwrite the numbers. Next time synchronize your contacts with gmail account, its not rom dependant and it will work on any android phone...

Facebook Contact Pictures in Linked Contacts

Hello, I purchased a X10 today and linked all my google contacts to their respective Facebook profiles. The problem i am having is that the default pictures are not updating to the Facebook profile picture, they are just the basic no picture icons that comes with the phone. How would i fix this issue?

If I could remember,you have to download the app called Facebook sync and it's available in the market.Just follow the instruction after you install that app on your phone.
EDIT : I'm running on 2.1 now and if you can't find that app in 1.6,you have to google search the app ya
PS : Don't you want to upgrade to the newest version Eclair 2.1.You can syn the FB app with all the new photos your friends updated

I have been trying to install 2.1 but i always get "driver not installed" error while i'm trying to get the phone into flashmode. I downloaded the USB drivers from the forum and it keeps saying error occurred. Its just getting really annoying...

Is your country of origin update available? Use PC Companion or SEUS instead.Try that before using any customised ROM in XDA
You have to enable "check for new update when phone is connnected" for PC Companion.Open SEUS to check new updates too

It helped alot. I got 2.1 on my device. I'm in the US so the update wasn't released, had to use the flasher to get it on there with the updated SEUSB drivers. I had to go back to 1.6 because 2.1 was very slow and sluggish. Switching screens, phone book, texting, timescape, and keyboard were all lagging. Did you have this problem? And also I had no 3G, it would just have a "H" where the 3G icon was suppose to be.

Glad to hear that!
hmmm...I don't have any lag with my generic firmware.You can always do some configuration by changing your current firmware to Global generic.
Check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8973041#post8973041
Until your country's official firmware release is available,do a repair using SEUS.
There are some steps that you can follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163&highlight=country+codes
Btw in 2.1 update H = High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) which is supposed to be faster that 3G.

[Q] Question on getting apps on mobile

Hi,
Got my Samsung Galaxy S2 mobile today. This is my first android mobile. Trying to get use to the interface and other things.
I dont have a WiFi. but my laptop is connected via a cable. Wondering if there is a possibility to get the mobile connected to internet? I want to start downloading the apps.
Can i also download apps in PC and install somehow like iTunes for iPhone/iPod?
Thanks in advance

select apps on PC
Install apps via Mobile Data on the phone .

Thanks Mate. Also is there any contact manager?
I want to import my contacts from Nokia 5800? any tips?

Don't you have 3g data or other internet connectivity to use the market? I don't know if your computer can be used as internet source, most people want to do it the other way round. I believe Samsung Kies can be used as a contact manager. I don't know of a way to install apps via a computer. If you can download the apk of the application, copy that to your phone and using a file manager install them from there.
Kies: http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as?COUNTRY_CODE=GBR&LANGUAGE_CODE=ENG
If you don't have a wireless access point in your house you can still create one "virtually". There is lots of free/paid software for windows XP and up that will basically turn your laptop's wifi chip into what the phone see as an access point. Most these apps are really easy to use requiring no computer knowledge to set up. Just google virtual access point (insert windows version here).
As to the second question export your contact list on your nokia to a memory card as a .vcf. Insert said memory card to your galaxy s2 open contact list click the menu button and press Import/export afterwards choosing the approperiate option. Alternative would be to export your contacts to something like outlook(windows) adress book (mac) and use it as a hub to sync back the info to your new device

Best way is export from your Nokia, then import into your Gmail account using the computer. Then your contacts will sync automatically.
I'm a Nokia user too. Welcome to android, a whole different experience .
Download is to phone not PC .

The point i am trying to make is that i cant access internet in my phone and only on my laptop. Want o know if there is a way like iPHone where we download IPA and install via iTunes or for Symbian download sis files put them in mem stick and install
Not from Android market unless you search internet for the individual apk files download to pc copy to phone and install .

Hi - I am not sure if your problem is solved or not. I have a Nokia 5800 and I selected the option (markall) and send via bluetooth. I had about 500 contacts and they were transferred without a problem.
The convoluted way of doing it is Sync using Ovisuite which syncs to Outlook. Use Go Contact Sync (Free). Syncs perfectly. U can keep Go Contact sync running so that it syncs any updates to the outlook.
Hope this helps. Sorry if you have already tried all these.

1. Try to un-install KIES and re-install it.
2. Try to use another USB port/cable.
3. Don't use KIES. Just upload your contacts into your Google account and let your phone synch contacts from there. So you do not need to backup your contacts with KIES to your PC. Let Google backup your contacts on their servers ;-)
Good luck !

I tried all above and still getting the same error !!! the werid thing i wanna know what happened it was working fine since 3 weeks ago !!
You installed something on your device and updated your PC since the last sync.
Search for myphoneExplorer. It's nearly the same as kies, but more stable and usefull. Kies sucks
