Postal Address in Hero Contacts - Cant see address??

Hi,
Just wondered if there was a way to see the whole of a Postal address in the contacts list? When I click on someone and they have a long postal address I can't see all of it, I have to go into the edit list to be able to see it.
This is most annoying, is there a way to change this?
I also find this frustrating - can't get to see full address unless going into edit mode or clicking on 'find home' which brings up google maps.
Haven't been able to find a solution unfortunately.

[Q] STOCK email client - hotmail - Error 301

Somehow my hotmail account stopped working on stock email client. I removed the account from the client and then attempted to login again. It shows following message on numerous attempts: "The attempt to sign in failed due to an invalid User name, Password, or incorrect settings. Please check your username, password and settings on the web, and try again. (301)"
I have spent around 2 days to sort this thing out and has done googling to find any solution, Appreciate the help.
I don't have a solution for your email client, but there is an official Hotmail app. It works very well on my S2 and it has address book integration as well. Perhaps you could give it a try.

Hi dear, Thanks for advice. I did downloaded and tried on the app as suggested. Again I have following message:
"the attempt to sign in failed due to an invalid email address and/or password. please check your email address and password and try again (300)"
I pinch myself to make sure I am typing everything right. However on browser it works alright. Any suggestion
How complex is your password? Any chance you can try changing your hotmail password to something simpler temporarily as a test to see if it is indeed a password issue?

Somehow a changed password did the trick.
I have the same issue, can you give me some info about your old ( ) password? For example, how long was it? Did it have any special non-numerical char in it? Cheers

Old password was 13 letters long mix of upper and lower case letters with some numbers. no non-numerical char.
At the risk of sounding like a stalker, how does the new one differ?
Mostly, is it shorter? Did the old one start with a number and the new one doesnt?
Mine is 20 chars long, has 2 "symbols", some numbers and it starts with a number. I'd really really like to find out where they cocked up with this

That (Bold) was the reason in my case.
Just a piece of information that hotmail does not take more than 16 letters/numbers/symbols etc as password.

Why is there this limit when authenticating from a mobile application, whichever that might be (the official app, the samsung email app, etc)?
I am afraid hotmail officials are the right people to tell you.

tasker: how to pass variable from trigger?

First, I am a complete newbie with tasker.
I am trying to create a profile with which I wish to auto-send an sms to wish people, for example on their birthday.
So birthdays, set from contact appear on my calendar as "personName. Birthday"
I am able to trigger an action reading "*Birthday" in calendar event.
But how do I pass the personName from the trigger, that matched "*Birthday" to the action to use as contact (directly or by extracting number for that contact) and the enter in the message like: Happy Birthday personName!
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance..
Bump
Bump!
With Variable Split you can split the event title into multiple variables. That's what I've found so far; I'll keep looking for a way to search your contacts.
By the way, how did you get a birthday event created from a contact birthday?
EDIT: if you can add the contact's phone number to the description of the calendar event then you can extract the number using a variable.
Thank you for your reply gollyzila.
Adding birthday to calendar: When I add a birthday to the contact record, it automatically shows up in the calendar in that format. And so I cant change the format as well!
Found variable split under variables category, but could not find how to get the event title in that task.. Couldnt find any variable in the list of variables Tasker suggests that could be holding event title.
Please help..
No problem. I like figuring out problems like these.
In the Variable Split edit scene, tap the orange tag icon and tap Calendar Event Title (%CALTITLE).
Without the phone number, I'm not sure how you can search for it using the contact's name.
Thank you Gollyzilla.
That is where I am looking for the variable, but cant find it..
Also, did not find the variable in tasker's documentation.
Also found a conversation in tasker's google group mentioning that its not possible to read actual calendar entry, but that is more than a year old, so not sure if it has changed meanwhile.
Does this require any specific plugin? Also tried the calendar plugin for locale from the market, it is only the condition plugin, so in the action, the entry text is still not available..
Please help.
You probably just have to install the beta version from here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
If you purchased Tasker through the Play Store tap download 1.2.2b3m. If you purchased it directly download 1.2.2b3.
Hi Guys, im trying to figure out how to make a similar profile, if you were successful with yours can yous share?

[Q]Custom Android Contact List

Hi,
Is there a way to chage the list of Contact List. I mean i have a large contact list. I add company name, job or title to my contacts. But when someone call me on the screen, it shows only name and surname by default. (Normally). But i have a lot of X Y on my list. I couldn't figure out until i answered the call. And i dont want to add company name or title to the name, surname fields.
Is there a simple way to change this like X(Name) + Y(Surname) + Z(Company) like a string concat or something.
I dont want to use 3rd party application but if you have something on your mind. Feel free to answer here.
Thanks.

Instant chat openfire+smack clarification

I'm going to add chat functionality to my app. After long searches I came to the conclusion that the best solution would be ejabberd/openfire + smack 4.1 for android, but I have some things that I can't wrap my ahead around. I don't know if I'm supposed to post a question like this here. Just comment if not and I'll delete it, but I don't know of any other place that I can ask.
Now I have a facebook login and some fields that post data to a server and that data is uploaded into mysql tables. I found multiple tutorials on how to make the openfire connection, but once I achieve that am I supposed to forget about my old implementation ? Is openfire just for instant messaging, or does it behave like a server in which I can add tables, query them, add data and etc. ?If so how? I mean in my current configuration I have php which handles all of that, but I couldn't find anything in openfire that would let me do such a thing.
When I configured openfire I saw that a lot of tables are created(ofuser, etc.), and I don't know what any of those are for, but I assume that I'm not supposed to mess with them.
Am I going to implement the auto-registration within the facebook login(user= fb id and password = token)?
Am I going to use openfire just to handle sending the messages, but store them on my current server in a table? It sounds that the phone would have to deal with too much- send the message to my server(to store it) and then to the openfire server?
I would also like to make an website for this app. Should I make it in such a way that when the message is submitted into the php form(to store it) somehow it's going to send it to the openfire to handle the downstream?
How should I implement this?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.:good:
