[Q] Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 4 Can't see Contacts - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed Ubuntu Touch onto a Nexus 4 and everything went well. However when I turn the phone on it all boots and works great but I can't see any contacts.
If I put the sim into an Android phone there are 42 contacts on it.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

I think I downloaded the developer version instead of the stable.
I'll d/l the stable tonight.

You're doing nothing wrong. As far as I know Ubuntu simply doesn't support pulling contacts from the SIM card yet.
I'd still recommend switching to stable though.

i really screwed up---need help

so my activesync hasnt been working for a few days, so i went onto microsoft to try to fix it, and they had an idea of removing the program and reinstalling it, so i did that. My device still cannot be read. i am going to reflash my device with dcds rom, but the only problem i am afraid of now is the fact that i dont have any way to back up my contacts since i cannot connect to my computer, can someone please help me, i really dont know what to do
Get the PIM backup program and save the data to your SD card....
how do i get it on my phone, i cant connect to my pc
You have to copy the cab file to your micro sd card with a card reader. Then install from the cab and run backup to your card.
another way is to make a share on your desktop and connect to it on you phone via wifi.
i got it on my phone, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it

I am glad you go the sd card flash to sort out your problem of getting the rom onto the ppc. My activesync connection is incredibly flaky too. One minute it works, next minute it wont. I am almost certain it is a problem with the pc as others have this problem too. I even seem to remember a post by dcd saying he had the same issue.
Well the way I fixed the problem was to turn off "enable advanced network functionality" from the ppc side. The option is in the start-->settings-->connections tab-->"USB to PC" applet. (This is also sometimes misplaced in start-->settings-->system tab when you have WM6.1 running). Once I disable the advanced network functionality my activesync works flawlessly, and despite what the warning tells you, it seems just as fast as with the advanced network functionality enabled.
i tried it, but unfortunately it still didnt work. i cant even flash my phone right now
First,make sure that both the phone and windows mobile device center are configured to use usb. Also try clearing that option and reselecting it. That sometimes helps. To back up your contacts,see if you can sync over bluetooth. I have found that sometimes I can sync over bluetooth even though it wont connect over usb.
I had a similiar prob with active sync, googled and found a newer version installed the newer version after uninstalling the old. No more problems.
gogetta, where did you find a newer version of ActiveSync?
Wait, maybe I'd better start with "What version did you find?"
I've been using the 4.5 that shipped with my xv6800, and it has worked perfectly ... until ...
Last weekend I installed a new hard drive, using the old one as the slave. It's been a nightmare. I can't get it to work at all!
I've installed, uninstalled, deleted registry settings, etc. so many times I can't even count. I've been all over the web and tried many things .. nothing seems to work.
So what version did you find that worked for you?

Problems with My Hd2 :-(

I've been using my HD2 for months trouble free.
The last few weeks i've been running android and windows, mostly windows but playing about with android in the evenings about a week ago i downloaded the HD2 Froyo V2.1 and installed all went ok, thats been fine all week but yesterday i decided to have a go at running android most of the day which is working really well.
But here's the issue went back into windows last night and its just not running it will boot up and seem fine for a few min then it just freezes, i'm using elegancia rom so did a hard reset set everything back up seemed ok for about 10min then tried to log into twitter and the phone froze, reinstalled everything again and same thing happened.
So this morning i decided to install an Nrgy rom to see if that made any difference.
I put the 1914 sense rom on so its close to stock as possible and that seems to be ok but when i log onto twitter it restarts sense and i've had a few issue's with it randomly switching sense off but it doesn't freeze now it just restarts sense.
Any ideas i've not used android with the Nrgy rom as yet is there anyway that something android has put onto the SD card may be effecting the stability of windows ?
Any ideas much appreciated...
Just to add i've just read that there appears to be a twitter issue.
But i'm still getting random sense resets without using twitter ?

It seems to be a hardware problem rather than software or Android problem Did you remember if your HD has fallen in the last days? Try to make it work in Windows or try to hard reset your Phone if everything goes wrong. Maybe you are lucky. With my previous phone I had similar problems.
it isnt a hardware-problem, in windows mobile is no problem, i have tried the last 30 minutes without freeze
and no, my hd2 has not fallen, till yesterday 5 pm were everything ok, without any freeze in last months
I get that occasionally too. I have just reported sometimes as many as 3 times before it behaves.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
me too
happens to me too, from time to time.
freeze last about 2 secs max.
Im using evo kernel (20?, oct) and the android 2.2.1 build.
okay....it was a silent death of my TS ...
now under windows mobile wont work too (with original wm build...)
i wrote htc support for repair/change of the phone...i hope they will answering fast *cry*
iAm also having this problem, iThought it was my android build at first but iTried a different one and it still continued to freeze. Then iUsed wmo for a whole day and the freezing attacks continued.
I am having the same problem myself!
Whenever I use the red power button, whether it is for waking up out of standby or using a long press to activate the Phone Options menu, the touch screen stops working.
I have found that waking up the phone, then quickly putting it back to sleep and waking it up again gives me about a 90% chance of it working. So I have to press the power button 3 times in quick succession to wake up my phone now.
I hope I won't have any serious long term effects on my phone, but I'm definitely going to be talking to HTC and T-Mobile about this soon.
it happenned with me also when im using 16 gb memory that come from the phone. but when im using smaller one (8gb class 2), it work fine. maybe 16 gb took long time to read.my suggestion try it with smaller capacity or you can buy new one with higher class(6 or maybe 10)

Most annoying posting style ever.
iRecommend selling your HD2 and buying an iPhone.
Have you wifi on ? If I use wifi or wifi hotspot then after the phone wakes up I always get a touchscreen freeze it's definitely not the hardware.
Tried G sensor fix? i.e. editing AK8973Prms.txt
This has something to do with android on the hd2 eventually causing it, I work for tmo n see all the issues with the hd2 n this has never been an issue so I thought it was just me when it happened to me I just exchanged my hd2 and its fixed but now I see more people having the issue n the only thing thats common is we use android

iRecommend for you not to replay if you dont have a solution to the problem at hand.
I think it's due to the G Sensor. I have meet this before and have some test on my HD2. I found that if some application running on G Sensor, it may cause the freeze, ie GPS, Google Map, Compass. I am not sure this is due to my setting.
I shut down the G Sensor by Gscript and the script below found in XDA and seems this help. I hope this can help you too.
1. Create a script name 'Stop'.
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd /system/bin/akmd2
killall akmd
save this script and run, it will shut down the G Sensor.
2. Create a script name 'Start'
SU is required, input
mv /system/bin/akmd2 /system/bin/akmd
/system/bin/akmd
save this script, and you can run this to restart the G Sensor while u need it again.
I dont' know whether there is some widget or application to control the G Sensor better, but you can try this first to check if G Sensor cause this problem.
I found if shut down G Sensor, the GPS won't work. If anyone have idea how to make GPS work without G Sensor please advice.

Turn your WIFI off then put it to sleep, works for me 100% of the time.
Same problem here. All ROMS based on HTC Sense freeze. Press the turn off button once and wait for 5 or 10 mins, and then the phone doesn't come back from lock anymore. This issue doesn't seem to be happening with any Nexus one Roms.
I have tried all possible solution, WM roms change, SetCpu, etc...

If press turn off button while it's freeze, it's hard to come back from lock. While it's not freeze, press any key while the phone is locked, if the screen is not come back, I still can touch the screen and the unlocked screen will be come back again.
I think it's a problem that the screen won't turn on immediately after we press the button, but at that moment, the phone can receive our control by touch the screen. If it's freeze, touch screen is not work, so keep dark. But if it's not freeze, the screen will be on. So I think it's the problem to solve the freeze problem.

Can't connect phone in Windows 8.1 Pro

Has anyone else had any problems connecting their Verizon flavored S4 to Windows 8.1 or any other Windows version? I don't know what happened to the phone, but some time back it lost the ability to connect to either my desktop running Windows 8.1 Pro or my laptop running Windows 8/Ultimate Edition 4.2. My Tab 3 8.0 connects just fine, but that's not the one I'm interested in upgrading the OS on. If anyone has insights, please share. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response, but I should've stated that I used to be able to connect the phone to Windows 8 in the past. For whatever reason, when I plug in the phone, I don't even get the prompt in the status bar asking me how I want to connect (Media or Camera, or whatever the two options are). For some reason, that option has disappeared. All the required settings are checked in System Settings under Developer Options, and they match what I have set on my Tab 3 8.0 which connects fine.

My phone is pretty stock except for the usual root features. I uninstalled some Verizon bloatware and used an app to block that annoying firmware update notice that was driving me nuts. I didn't even know my phone was having PC connection issues until the first time I got the update notice and tried to connect it to my computer to backup a few things. My Tab is set up pretty much the same, which is what has me a little baffled. Aside from missing a few non-essential Verizon apps, I could uninstall SafeStrap and un-root both devices and one would never know they'd ever been rooted. If I ever do take the plunge into the world of KitKat and want to keep root, I know I'll have to be able to connect to my computer and the required Odin program for the ROM download, which is about the only thing keeping my from doing the update.

Ok, this is a little weird. I plugged my Tab into my desktop at which time Windows did it's thing and installed the necessary items. So for a kick, I plugged in my phone and suddenly they decided to talk to each other. Can't explain it, but I'm glad it's working now.

Remix OS freeze while using.

Hi everyone.
I just installed Remix OS dual boot with windows 10 and used Grub2win to boot. I can boot perfectly to Remix OS, but sometimes there is no wifi and sometimes there is after I reboot. My problem is Remix OS freeze everytime after 5 minutes of using, even though I just use web browsing. Did anyone have the same problem?
My system is Asus transformer book T200.
Thanks

I have the same freezing problem on my lenovo yoga 2 11. Boots fine then the main desktop freezes. I can still click on the taskbar for a while until that freezes too. Had reported to devs a couple months ago.

Yup, desktop still freezes with the new release too. Sometimes the screen goes full black. It does come back though after a while. When the system freezes I usually just wait a few minutes and it recovers. The problem? I can't use it like this. My nVidia card is still unsupported so my CPU still overheats when anything moves on the screen...I had high hopes for the new Remix OS release Oh well...still waiting for my Chromebook to get the Android Play Store. It looks like that will be the only decent way of running Android apps on something else than a phone/tablet.
Can you look at this.

Let me know if it works.
Are you booting from USB? OR did you install to HDD?
One more thing to add is my camera is default ON at the startup (camera light is on). How to turn it off?
I'm seeing this freezing with RemixOS B2016063002 (v2.0.402) running in VirtualBox in Win10-- installed following instructions here. While RemixOS is slow (e.g. mousing around in a simple app is painful) it works initially. Then I go and do something else in Win10 for a handful of minutes and come back to a frozen RemixOS display. Something appears to still be running on the system as VirtualBox indicates hard drive and network activity.
I have the same problem, it stopped at 2.0.402 update (been using it for +1 hour)vv. It was because of the nouveau driver that didn't support acceleration in my card so after some 3D rendering the PC simply 'dies' LOL..
