[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card... - G2 and Desire Z General

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks

I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!

The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.

Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

Lost My MMS Folder - How do I Restore it?

Cingular 8125. I upgraded to the new Messaging Extreme package they have so I can stop going over my allowed SMS messages. I figure since it's unlimited and includes MMS messages I chould take advantage of it. Problem is that when I go to Messages on my phone, I no longer have an MMS Folder. I think I remember there being one and I think I remember deleting it for some reason way back when. It was like the account labeled *Text Messages. How do I get that account back without a Hard Reset. Is there a way to create it or add it back?
I do still have the MMS Configuration option in the Menu, just no account listed for MMS Messages in the accounts section. If I click on New Account, that is just for E-Mail Addresses. If there is a way to add it as an E-Mail Address, what User Name/Pass/Domain do I use. Hope this is a clear enough explanation. Pics below to kinda clarify.
TIA

I am not sure it will work but you can try this.
Go to http://www.molski.biz/ look under the latest ROM folder and download the MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404 to "TO INSTALL THE MMS FOLDER ON THE WWE ROMS"
Try This!
I don't know if u have solved the problem, but of not give this a try.
tleader - That worked great. That's just what I was looking for.
imisim - I couldn't find the file you refered to but I see a lot of other tweaks and reg hacks I might have to try. Thanks for the link.
Edit - Found the ROM you mentioned but already got it with tleaders cab.
Thanks guys. This forums is great. I'll contribute as I can.
One more quick question that may be related. Still getting used to the MMS Messages via a PPC but likin 'em. Seems alot more difficult than on my ol Razr. The MMS Notification Icon (I assume that what it is) doesn't seem to want to go away after reading/deleting messages. See below. Is there a setting that I have wrong or is there a tweak to fix this "bug".

Changing order of apps.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.
I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows
Thanks will take a look.
Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

Broken links on Vibrant

I've had this problem with my Vibrant since day 1. Any links that come through via email are broken at characters like "&" or similar. Since I can't select text within the email, I literally cannot follow emailed links.
Anyway to correct this?
Here's a pic:

I'm assuming this is with the Vibrant default email client? I use K9 and it has no issues with dashes '-' or ampersands '&'. I can click the links forwarded by Facebook with no issue. It's a little more work to setup but IMHO a better experience.

I have had this problem since day one. Hate to tell you it's still there in Froyo. Well, at least the leaked versions.
I am surprised this has not been addressed or commented on more.
I would love a fix for this! Why should an = character break a web link? This shpuld be a no brainer. Do I really want to ad another email program to make links work?
Now I'm really reaching; but wouldn't it be nice if Facebook links from email open my Facebook app not the crummy web touch site? Like the do on that POS iPhone?

Is it something that a dev could patch?
Is the email app developed by Samsung? I like it a lot more than the one on my G1 besides this problem.

[Q] My brand new Desire Z is acting wierd

Hey there XDA
I have now been trying to get my brand new Desire Z to work proberly the whole afternoon but some problems remains which is why i now come to you for help. I've listed them in a list below.. Hope you can help me out here
My HTCSense.com account seems to be missing a lot of functionality.. Phonefinder didnt work, so i had to recover/reinstall something called "Locations" before it got to work. I had allready enabled this "Phonefinder" but HTCSense.com told me that it was disabled. However i still seem to be missing a lot of stuff at my htcsense.com account. See this screenshot:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is like there should be some menu at the top or at the side which iam not getting. I have tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which gives the same results.
When i turned the phone on for the first time it showed me some suggestions to friends that i could add from HTCsense.com. When i wanted to select them they dissapeared and didnt show up again. How can i see this list again?
They have however later showed up and i managed to send a request to one of the suggestions but when i try to the other one (it gives me two suggestions) it says that it was not possible to request at the moment.
Everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it, i get a Nortification that my "SIM card has been changed", which is not the case..
Allmost everytime i try to access HTC likes and HTC Hub i get a message that it couldnt connect to the HTC Sense server.
Sometimes when i write speciel characters like ÆØÅ it writes them in uppercase no matter what i do.
I hope that you can help a newbie with some of these problems.. Its been a long time since i've used an Android phone
Thanks in advance!
~D
Regarding HTC sense we have the same experience with errors and functionality. About the sim problem maybe you could try doing a full wipe/reset?

Sense 2.x Contact pic?

I know Google doesn't sync good-res contact pictures.. blah blah blah
My thing is...
I've been using Oxygen and CyannogenMod for almost half a year and I just switched to LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 this morning... **I don't have a Facebook account** I realised that whenever I set a contact picture from the Gallery while the phone is offline.. the pictures look GREAT when making or receiving calls.. when online, Google does its sync low-res sh*t.
I just wanna use those pictures I choose from gallery as overlay, not as google cntc's pic.
Can I stop the contacts' pictures syncing? by any any any means?
Logout of FB and then again Login..This time select the option don't sync your contacts!!

The dude doesn't have a Facebook account.
How about updating the contact pictures of your Google contacts from the web itself instead of from the phone?
Honestly don't know if it will work. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.
