[Q] no contacts tab in ics? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if this has been asked before, tried a search but couldn't see anything.
As the title suggests, after flashing Intra's Franky LP3, all is working extremely well. I also wiped and reset phone after flashing.
The only thing I've noticed is that there are no "contacts" or "groups" tabs in the Phone section liked there used to be in GB. I know you could scroll the tabs along the top, but mine doesn't now. I have "keypad", "logs" and "faves" but nothing else. To get to Contacts it's Menu/All Contacts.
Is this an ICS thing ?
Thanks guys.
Phil

So, yes, been asked and answered before.
You need to work on your search-fu.

Ok, thanks for the nice reply mate. I appreciated your help. Not sure what more anyone can do other than type in the problem and read for 2 hours through all the threads that the search results came up with and still not find an answer.
If questions offend you I'll ask elsewhere. Have a great day.

Questions don't offend me at all.
Questions that have been asked and answered multiple times in multiple posts that are easily found by a very basic search frustrate me, and go against forum rule #1: search before posting.
So instead of people following this rule, and doing some basic searching, we get people posting the same few questions every couple of days.
Trust me, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

changing themes, etc

Hi,
Is it possible to change themes, and all the appearance of a not clean rom? if yes, how do to that?
Appreciate your help.
Use a diferent TSK or wisbar?
:S
I'm not trying to be hostile, but you really should find out more for yourself.
You opened a lot of request threads.
Just use the "Search" button on top of the page, and enter something like "theme" That would keep the forum clean and you don't have to put the effort in typing a question.
So please Tiago Machado, don't pollute the forum.

I know how to use wisbar and other sofwares, all I need to know if it's possible to change layout of a not clean, not OEm, cook room, if there's any problem.
For the record, some time ago I invited you to read the "PPC newbie" FAQ on the portuguese forum in my sig.
If you had, you'd know the answer already...

[Q] Does Google Voice search - if so how

Has anyone gotten google voice search to work. I know that it easy to type in a search request, it's just more to try it out since it is a option. I have tried several apps for voice and I nothing I do seems to make it work. As always, thanks for the help.
Hello and welcome to the NT forum, i just made a search here in General section and look what i found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458356&highlight=google+voice+search
Please next time try to do a research first! if you don't find it then post your question here.
I know the XDA search is not the best tool of its kind but by googling "what i want to find, XDA" should be enough.
~ Veronica
I did perform a search using the search this forum feature and did not see a result that I thought answered my question. Maybe I didn't use good enough key words, I thought I used google voice as the key words. I have seen to many replies saying what you said not to do this first. But thank you for finding what I seem not to be good enough to find.
just copy Google VoiceSearch.apk to system/app
make sure the right permission
then reboot,you got it
Thank You. That is where I was making my mistake. In the post it just gave the download link and I was installing that is why it never worked for me. I an new to android, I still haven't learned when to do what.

[Q] Facebook renaming Google contacts

Anyone know how to sort the problem of Facebook (and Skype) renaming contacts on my phone?
When you join a Facebook contact up with a Google contact it will choose the Facebook name over the Google contact name in my contacts list.
For example:
Google contact name: Joe Bloggs
Facebook name: Joe RandomName
It would then rename my correct Joe Bloggs to Joe RandomName in on my phone contacts.
It is driving me mad. It does not make the change when I log into Google contacts online as it still shows as Joe Bloggs but not on phone.
Surely you should be able to choose the correct Google name over some random Facebook name. Damn Touchwiz

No need to be abusive!
This is a forum where people ask questions. I did perform a search and found no answer hence my question - I have been on this forum since 2007 so I know how it works.
Furthermore, your response was useless. I am well aware that I don't have to sync my contacts with Facebook but I want to for many reasons.
And, whilst you are on the subject of giving me tips on how to use this forum please use proper English and not abbreviated text / SMS type chat that a 10 year old would use. This would help when people like me are searching for answers to such questions.
Thank you and have a good day!

That is some good advice since I know how hard searching can be. For example one time I was searching for info I know was in one of the 12,000+ post rom threads a month after I read it. I searched for over a hour in that thread but never found it becuase the person had bad spelling and abbreviations.
How bad is that when I know for a fact the info in on this forum in a specific post but can't find it because I am not capable of remembering the persons atrocious spelling.
That is just one example of the many searches that have failed because of the same problem.

[Q] Where is the Search Function?

Is it just me or did the search function on the XDA site suddenly disappear? I wanted to find something in a very large thread this morning, and the search function is gone. I checked a few other threads; gone from those too.
So, if people are constantly complaining that other people aren't searching threads for answers before asking questions......but there is no search function....how is that going to work?

Mobile Broadcast since going to CM10.1

Hi everyone,
Since I've upgraded my GS3 to cm10.1 - I keep getting mobile broadcasts saying '020' which is the London area code, why do these keep coming up? Ive tried to disable them but I've run out of options
Please help
Anyone?
read the rules

pointless post, fair enough he could search but also you couldve explained more about the rule/guidelines.also its said that if you have not anything useful to post then dont
- to the O.P i think you need to look in your messages folder and its somewhere along the lines of service messages that will need disabling
Was not talking about the first rule. People should not post before reading the rules, there's nothing pointless about that
pointless as in meaning your not helping anyone in any way,let the moderators do there job and if you get the urge to help them then rightfully press the report button and report it,
Thanks to the person that actually helped. Looking into it that way. The other guy, don't mini-mod.. He's right, if you want to report the post, go for it - otherwise don't try bump your post count up here.
Cheers
I'm also getting this. turned off all mobile broadcast options in settings and still getting them. they are only area codes like 020 or 0170 etc. or strings of area codes like that. quite annoying
Suggest one of the CM discussion threads .
jje
Turn alert notification ON in mobile broadcast but untick everything else.
I have no idea why it's backwards, it just is.
Had the same problem (in UK too). Quick googling suggested to delete "Mobile Broadcast Receiver" application. Since then no broadcasts anymore!
