[General Questions and Answers] makrook:
Hi, I know this should be under another section, but I got no privileges to post anywhere in the develoment sections.

So, my problem is : I don't really know how android os organizing it's fonts, and how it finds the right one for he right language, but I strongly need multiple language support (namely some arabic-variants scripts : urdu, pashto, farsi) and some asian ones (thai, lao, chinese)

arabic and farsi support is no problem (well .. almost) with my spike cyanogen rom, thai and chinese neither. I've got a pashto softkeyboard, as well as an urdu one, and even a lao one, got fonts that cover those scripts as well, now : where should I put those fonts ? I see on my /system/fonts DroidSansThai, DroidSansArabic etc .. so I suppose (noob inside ..) the file names are relevant, problem is pushing a font with for examle DroidSansUrdu doesn't solve anything.

or shoud I get arial unicode as huge as it is as the DroidSans font ? (bothers me a bit as I'd like to be able to use more beautiful fonts).

another question, related, is : on my farsi keyboard I can add the vocalization (short vowels), but not not on the arabic one ??? anyone has a clue about that ?

thanks.

G2X: 124.5 x 63.5 x 10.2 mm 141.8 g

O2X: 123.9 x 63.2 x 10.9 mm 139 g

Is it because of the different radios?
[LG Optimus 2x] ericc191:
It could either be a typo/mix up, or just minor differences due to 4G ect.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mehrsau:
There were about 5 different versions of sizes in Germany before the O2X came out.. so don't worry about it. I doubt they will use different cases.
[LG Optimus 2x] nomisunrider:
T-mobile also lists the specs with a different size.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-G2x-with-Google
[LG Optimus 2x] Hannes The Hun:
most probably same sizes. also, G2x is no "true" 4G and to my knowledge even the baseband chip (infineon) will be the same.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I bet it's the same case so the size will be the same.

I suspect it's a conversion error from inches and ounces to mm and grams.

Why these countries are still stuck in the dark ages using such stupid measurements is beyond me. 1866 was like, a long time ago (this is when the US legalised the use of metric in the 'States with the Kasson Act! source).
[LG Optimus 2x] N1M1TZ:
I hate to disagree with the assumption that they are the same.

The same happened for the HTC HD2 Euro and US version. Only a millimeter in difference but that's a lot when it comes to a perfect fit for the case.

I would wait a little more. For now I will go ahead and get that ugly case from T-mo until a better case comes out.
[LG Optimus 2x] diwad:
hm

So what is their original Size ? I would like to buy one but I dont like big phones like HD2 wich isn't very comfortable for me to hold in hand. It's isn't so much about the height of the phone just the shape. I like more round on the edges like Desire S or IS .

But I wouldn't go for a phone wide 67mm. But here are the specs a little bit different http://www.mobilmania.cz/katalog-mobilu/lg-optimus-2x/sc-63-c-1-ci-20531/default.aspx

So what is the real size of this phone can anybody tell me who owns it ?

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
63x124x11mm (excluding buttons)

Camera lens is +1.75mm

Just measured with calipers for you.

All +/-0.3mm

[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
I'm hearing stories of people getting a 3m lock on instantly and I'm wondering why I don't get that. I recently just flashed back to factory radio and rom (though rooted) and I get 10m accuracy after 10-15 seconds (indoors).

Is this normal, or is there something defective :confused:

(Sorry if I sound OCD about this, I don't really know if 10m is too much for GPS to work with navigation or what)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
10 Meters is not that bad. 10 meters is about 32 feet. Also depends on the weather, location, whats around you....
[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
Well right now it's just a clear day, nothing seems to be around that would cause any interference. I'll reboot and test one more time, hold on.

Just tested with my harshell speck case, absolutely horrendous -- 45 seconds to get 700 meter accuracy.

Took case off, took about a minute to get 10 meter accuracy. Is this normal? Could it be my radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I sometimes get 30 meters (90ft)... so 10 meters is not that bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Ohh different story. Yeah some cases do interfere with the GPS signal. Truth is, with the case on, I get no GPS lock indoors. Without the case, I get GPS lock within a minute.

I have the Speck Candyshell case (i think thats what its called).
[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
I have the speck candyshell as well...so you're saying I need to take my case off in order to use GPS effectively or what? And that there's nothing wrong with my phone or radio, it's just the way it is?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Thats the way it is I suppose. I wouldn't take a risk using the phone without a case and dropping the phone, in order to gain a few meters in accuracy
[HTC Inspire 4G] berryman13:
10 meters accuracy and 900 meters accuracy (I assume) makes the difference of night and day when it comes to usability, I assume.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I never got 700m or 900m with a case on, outdoors. I get 30m with the case. Without the case, its usually 10 or 20. But to answer your question, its not the radio or the phone. Its the case. You proved it by taking the case off and getting a much more accurate location than with the case on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Are you waiting till the GPS icon stops flashing showing its locked on?

If the GPS icon is solid, you should get a more accurate location.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
To answer this question directly, a 10m lock is extremely good (especially for indoors). You do not have anything to worry about. At my location, any lock indoors is good, and outdoors I'm happy to get a 10m or 5m while driving on a clear day.

If you want a minimalistic case without GPS problems, you may want to look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12587119&postcount=191
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Yeah I like that case, but it doesn't seem to protect the glass as much as the candyshell does. I don't use GPS on the phone all that much, so I dont mind having a little more protection and less GPS accuracy. My truck has GPS nav and prefer that over my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Outdoors I get anywhere from 5-10. Have seen 3, but very rare.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I dont understand the need for GPS indoors. Do you need a guided route to the kitchen from the living room?? :)

GPS is meant to be used outdoors. Unfortunately, the inspire's GPS receiver is not that great and some phone cases will affect performance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msolus:
Hi,

I'm considering flashing CM7.. I've flashed plenty of ROMs but they've all been based on stock samsung ones. If I give CM7 a go are there any risks other than the usual ones (i.e bootloaders, odin fails)..?

Will I need new usb drivers? and can I easily revert back to a Samsung ROM?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy-bish:
You'll need to get the Nexus S USB drivers. I did a Google search at the time, which bought up a thread on here with a direct link. Otherwise you can use the drivers bundled with the SDK. Either way, they aren't hard to find.

There aren't any major risks that I know of. I've been running it just fine for 3 weeks now.

That being said, I haven't attempted to flash back to another rom yet. I don't foresee any major issues, though. Just gotta make sure I wipe everything, repartition, and that should clear it all up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] branalvere:
There are no problems with CM7 other than the well documented ones, ie patchy camera, increased battery drain. If you have flashed JV1 or JVK you will need to flash a stock froyo with bootloaders first, if you are on stock froyo ROM just go ahead and flash it!

Reverting is straightforward. The risks are minimal, as long as you can get download mode with the 3 buttons you can always flash back to stock. Just follow the instructions on the CM7 thread in android development forum

[Nexus S General] i.mac:
I was flashing CM7. This is what I did:

Rooted, ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager.

From recovery did a BackUp (seems useless because it doesn't do anything.)

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Cache partition

Install zip from sdcard - selected cm7 - got a Status Error 7

Now the phone won't boot, stays on the Google screen, I can get into the recovery though.

Any ideas? I am downloading the Stock 2.3.3 image.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
restore your backup.
[Nexus S General] i.mac:
I tried doing that from ClockworkMod, gave me an error, it was a ridiculously small file, doesn't seem like a backup.

Even the stock gives me a Status Error 7.

Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
you didnt brick, just download a a new rom, sounds like it was a bad download.. if the phone shows a screen it isnt bricked...
[Nexus S General] i.mac:
This is what I get. For both Stock 2.3.3 and CM7. I've tried multiple times.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
right did you re download it and copy it back to the phone or just going off the rom you downloaded already? if so worst case shouldnt odin work?
[Nexus S General] i.mac:
I'm downloading it again. Should I rename it to update.zip? Odin, that's the software right?
[Nexus S General] crypticsorr0w:
I think your problem is because you are using the clockwork mod for I9020, where as for rogers you should be using clockwork for i9023 -- at least this was my case, I have i9020a rogers

you can get it from this link 2nd file.

after using this one you shouldn't be getting "E: can't mount cache" and you shall be able to repeat rooting/flashing steps.
[Nexus S General] i.mac:
I was feeling so, either the ROM or the recovery. I'm just flashing the recovery, thanks for your help.

Also, how do I manually install ClockworkMod?

[G2 and Desire Z General] Arconaught:
About 3 hours ago, I won a Desire Z (wheeey!) at the HTC London meetup. Naturally, I came straight here after the help I got in January rooting my Desire.

I used the Visionary method and obtained temp root status, and then attempted perm root, which seemed to work. All of the guides I have read include a bunch of steps after this, one of which included deleting Visionary, which I then did. I just turned the phone off, took the battery out for a bit and then turned it back on. I still have the Superuser icon and the Terminal Emulator indicates that I have root access... is that it then? It's that simple?

Please tell me if I've done anything wrong, as I don't want to flash Cyanogen and Clockwork Recovery if it's all going to go to hell on me. Any advice or confirmation on whether or not I've obtained perm root would be lovely. :)

Oh, my firmware version is 1.34.405... etc. Is this simply the last version which allows for such easy root?

EDIT: Bugger, didn't realise what forum I was in, please delete this and I'll pop it in the Q&A. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
accordingly you should have probably only achieved temp root. you'll probably lose access later when you restart it again.

the first desire z i got was right when it was released and at that time the only method that was available was the visionary method... and although some people were having problems with it the perm root method worked fine for me and i had a perm root desire z for over a month (then i sat on the phone and broke it lol)... my understanding is that visionary can give u perm root but by doing that it will modify a number of system files that should not be modified and that worked for some people and for others it just bricked their phones... personally i would do a hard reset of the phone to erase any damage visionary might have done to the phone system files before putting any rom on it (CM or other)... then get perm root and S-OFF the clean way using ADB ...

Hello all,

I had purchased Spectral Souls through the android market recently. Now, I am on a non-paid android market zone (Dubai, UAE) but I used market enabler to make the purchase. I have purchased other apps/games from the market without issues.

I am on a 16MB wifi connection; but no matter how many times i try and download the data; it keeps giving me the "CANT CONNECT TO SERVERS" problem!

I tried everything; mounting, deleting the data, and unmounting and trying again... I tried opening the ports to 8080, and also tried to download the latest version; i STILL am unable to download.

I shot them a few mails; and after some correspondence - this is what they eventually said.

"If that is not working, then there could be a network incompatibility with your own network, this is very rare but not impossible, if that is the case just provide us with your google checkout order # and we will proceed the refund."

I did get a refund; but i want to play the game. Anyone got any ideas what may be going wrong? or what can i do to get it to work!?
