Is anyone able to get a facebook app to sync with this release? On the latest civic package, it was working and was an option.. any ideas?

This is a known problem USB can only be used for charging (sort of -- see below)

Charging sort of works. The problem is the phone thinks the battery is full, so it immediately stops charging.
For now I would do all charging in WinMo, with the phone off, or via a spare battery charger

Syny your phone with your computer while in windows mobile... then open your gmail account on the computer... click on contacts(left side of the screen)... Click on import(right side of the screen) then browse for the .csv file that outlook uses for your contacts... the .csv file should be in c://Users/"whoever"/contacts... This should store all your contacts into your gmail account

The next time you boot android, sync your phone with gmail and voila!!! you should have all your contacts.

Feel free to PM me with any questions and I will try to help

That's not GPS.

It's a combination of aGPS programming, cell tower triangulation, and Google's wickedly evil wifi mapping database.

You ever see those Google cars driving around taking pictures for their 'street view' functionality in Google Maps?... Well those cars are also mapping all of the wifi signals they come across. That way, when Android picks up a wifi signal, it pings Google's wifi database to see where you are!!

Google scares the hell out of me sometimes

With these superman powers, why even have GPS?

Yeah dude it is pretty nice... We have a gate now too, they just put it up so we're officially a gated community now, makes me feel safe though i've already had one car stolen from here... But that we before I had an alarm and a garage lol, so I'm doing good so far this time around... And you're not lying about the price, there's places not even as nice for like almost 2x the money... I guess since the multi-million dollar mansions are only 2 miles away they try to shimmy that in there with the sales scheme when it comes time to get a place around here lol...

+1 for this working

It will be soon, as was done with the last two Android threads

In the mean time, you can sticky it yourself by going to the top of this page, then right under the page numbers click 'Thread Tools' then select 'Stick the thread to the top'
