Hi guys,

I took some videos with Defy but can't access them. Can't view the videos from the "file manager on PC" but they are in the phone's gallery.

Another problem I have is my address book is showing all my Gmail contacts. I tried to put some of them in a different folder but it doesn't work. Did you guys import your SIM or something?

Please help and thanks!

My contacts are in Gmail but then now my phone shows ALL my Gmail contacts as well.

Ah, I have another problem.

I have a Google calendar. I added two Gmail accounts to my Defy but my calendar that is in one of my accounts doesn't show up.

Thanks for coming to my assistance. Android 2.1 is so unfriendly, huh?

screen capture you need to root first then install shoot me

the 0 contacts in your sim might be due to the contacts being stored in your previous phone and not sim

hmm i won't see it as unfriendly, there is learning curve in new things; actually learning new things should be the fun part  tongue.gif , if u used to it you will find it friendly

plug back ur sim to ur old phone and export the contact to sim first and then import to defy

Hi Greenday,


The driver that you say we have to install to access video file, is it this one?

Motorola 4.8.0 Driver with MotoConnect*

from this site: http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index....0008806b00aRCRD


OR the developer driver from this site: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/US...set_USB_Driver/

Greenday, my phone does charge via USB. I can see my photos using the File Manage window on PC but I cannot see my videos.

The built-in GPS is also highly inaccurate. I took photos of the places and they are tagged with GPS co-ordinates. I checked on the PC but they are all in the wrong spots!

Also, I check my open apps through Advance Task Killer, and many apps like YouTube, MySpace, Voice Dialer, etc. automatically open, how come?

The default browser, I cannot organise bookmarks into folders.

I hope you can help me. I still have so many questions!!

Greenday, I have installed the drivers already.

Do you access photos and videos through "Moto Phone Portal"? I can only see the recent PHOTOS. The "View All" link doesn't work for me.

The new driver also has no improvement.

Aiyoh... I went to my laptop only can grab the videos. My laptop is Win XP + IE8.

PC is Win7 + IE8.

Firefox can only view photos.

EDIT: Can see but cannot copy / extract!!!

you may try use direct access to memory card only and use "wireless file transfer" download from market

Yeah, direct access works perfect. The Moto Phone Portal doesn't work on my computer. Thanks!

Can you guys try to take a photo with GPS location tagging and check its accuracy? I tested few times and my readings are way out.

Also, how do you get the audio for GPS directions? Mine has only text directions or show route on map, no audio.

what gps software u using?

The default one. If I check "My Location", and email the co-ordinates to myself to check online on my PC, it's accurate.

Photo tagging is inaccurate.

Wanna ask you all. Are you having problems with your alarm? I set my phone to ring twice a day but it doesn't always ring!

Also, anyone using Aldiko eBook reader? I have problems since upgrading to version 2.0 yesterday.

and i'm using aldiko as well. not too bad i would say

Hi! I have Advance Task Killer, though don't normally kill apps. I just ignored the alarm, so see if it rings tomorrow.

Did you upgrade Aldiko? After upgrade to v2.0 My eBook folder is missing from my PC (Moto memory card) but I still can see my books in Aldiko. Did the folder move elsewhere?

What free GPS app are you using?

Now I installed My Tracks for GPS. But Geotagging still isn't accurate.
