Well first, I think it has nothing to do with cosmetics at all. But, when you install it, did it ask for Internet permission? If not, then there's probably nothing to worry about. The only permissions it asks for is to read user defined dictionary (for autocomplete), read contact data (for autocomplete) and record audio (for voice input.) Nothing nefarious at all.

The password warning is a stock warning that Android puts on all keyboards.

Try v1.14rc5 (or later) from http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/downloads/list, this has localizations including 5-row layouts for English, German QWERTZ, French AZERTY, Spanish, Russian, Slovenian/Bosnian/Croatian/Latin Serbian, Arabic, and Hebrew. Corrections or additional layouts would be welcome, see the AddingNewLayouts Wiki page for details.

I've also packaged the Cyanogen completion dictionaries, also available at the same location.

Please let me know if it works for you. Once I hear sufficient confirmation that the layouts work as expected (hard for me to tell for languages I can't read) I'll push that one on the Market.

[General Questions and Answers] fastboy01:
Hello forum,

I use gmail frequently and there is a feature in their chat service that allow you to send text messages to phone numbers (I think for US and Canada only) for free.

Also another feature they have is called "call phone". Where you can make calls to phone numbers (Also I think within US and Canada only) for free.

Is there a way to use these features on Android phones?

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] _Stomp_:
I don't know about the text messaging but I know the phone call feature is available. If you download Google voice this will allow you to make Google calls.

It seems like we're at a cross-road with our devices. Recent issues clearly have lead to unexpected circumstances, yet we're on the horizon of Gingerbread. Though ACS was huge and there were lots of expectations for ING, clearly a different direction is at hand if you jumped on that train. (Please correct me if I'm wrong to members of both organizations, I think many would welcome continuity, if possible.) Many, like myself, don't have an upgrade at hand or a couple hundred to shell out for a new phone and thus still depend on the community. What are some of the plans that people have for the future, devs and users alike? Having recently rooted and flashed SRF, I am not as aware of functionality of all availible platforms and figure I'm not alone.

I wouldn't mind if this becomes a consolidation thread for multiple threads of the same concept.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I figure its not a big deal. Remember, tomorrow is the beginning of the rapture, so no matter what we all only have until October 21 to live. I figure the Epic4g can last me until then fairly well, even if I have to stick with SRF 1.1.

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
That has never stopped a piece of electronics from coming to age late. I wonder if this whole race to GB is their way of realizing the hardware capabilities of Samsung versus the number of eligible customers that will convert to a superior device. Remember, this forum is for those on the cutting edge of the device. Some will continue to buy this device based on the fact that they won't have to live through initial release bugs and then join us.

Whats really annoying is that my friend phone is working perfectly on wataniya and he has the same phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcdj:
Tonight I decided to try an upgrade on my rooted Desire with ClockwordMod installed. I originally had the official Froyo ROM and downloaded the latest Leedroid Gingerbread ROM to give it a go.

All was going swimmingly until on reboot it took far longer than the expected 20 minutes or so to boot.

I pulled the battery and now the phone is stuck in a reboot loop at the 'Leedroid Android' splash screen.

I get the impression something may have gone wrong with the ext3 alignment patch somehow as I can't mount my sdcard to either reflash the leedroid ROM or revert back to the official ROM.

The output of parted from a terminal window shows the following:

/sbin # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
Model: SD 00000 (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 3942MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
2 10.8kB 3942MB 3942MB primary

So it looks like I've somehow lost my file system on my sdcard.

Anyone have any suggestions as to the quickest fix out of this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcdj:
Just realised this is in the wrong section... could a mod move please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabulous69:
Try reformat the SD card with a 100% size FAT32 partition (use a card reader to do that, had this bug one time, i couldnt resize with the phone as a card reader). I recommend you this software (windows) : MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

Search it on google. use this video if you dont know how to use it :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCV7Eu1pjWQ

Just create a partition FAT32, Primary, set the size, and a ext3, primary, set the leaving size (max 1.5gb) apply and wait

Once it's done, you can repart the SD card with FAT+ ext3

put files on your sd card.

I flashed the first time with the zip alignment patch, had the same bug than you, retried after full wipe without the patch, juste rom and reboot, and everything was ok.

so wipe and reflash ;)

tell us if it works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcdj:
Thanks! Before I wipe completely as a last resort, is there any alternative way of recovering what's on the SD card? Unfortunately the last backup I made of its contents is over a month old...
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
My battery never charges above ~76% when plugged in. After rebooting however, it is very much at 100% and lasts for a good amount of time. This is not necessarily a question, but I wonder if others are experiencing this too and if there is a fix? Read below.

I noticed that my battery life got very bad after installing custom roms. I also found out that this happened because I sometimes kept the phone plugged in while flashing, something that totally screws up the battery reading. So, I followed this guide to calibrate my battery and it worked.

Now, whenever the phone is plugged in it NEVER goes to 100% when charging. Maybe 80% if leaving it for a while (10 hours overnight). I'm worried about frying the battery. Is there a fix?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
It is only a matter of presentation. It actually doesn't mean your batt is broken. Plug it and charge it overnight. Then discharge only for few percent and plug it back in. It should go to 100%.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

What I'm concerned about is if the phone "thinks" the battery isn't recharged and keeps squeezing juice into it when in fact it is full (which a reboot will show)? That's not good for the battery. It should go into trickle charge after reaching 100%..
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
The process described in the desire forum is also known as formatting the battery. In fact most of battery manufacturers (lithium battery manufacturers) recommend doing this in a slightly different way:

Before first use:

1.) Before powering the device on, plug it in and let it charge until the LED is green (fully charged)

2.) Then take the battery out of the device and wait an hour (to make sure all the chemical processes in the battery are as idle as possible)

3.) Then plug it back in, while still off and let it charge untill green LED

4.) use the device....

You can practice this slightly modified with first step being:

Discharge the battery (by normal use)until only few percent are left (1 - 5 % are OK)

I've done these steps with my Mugen extended battery and I was getting around 4 - 5 days on Legend, now I'm getting 2 - 3 days on Desire S, but the ROM isn't very optimized yet, I believe it will be better in time...
[Legend Android Development] alexhtclegend:
Just one thing... Why is this in Development!?
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
No Idea.....

can mods move this? :)
[Legend Android Development] peddalion:
sz1a did this solve your problem? Have the same problem with every firmware i've tried.... :(
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Definitely did not solve it but at least the battery performance is ok. It just stays at 78% for a few hours drops from there. Very weird but as long as the battery doesn't get broken I guess it's ok.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Do you have some 3rd party battery installed in your Legend? I have one 1,5 Ah in mine and it is acting the same way. It doesn't bother me too much coz it was cheap... it lasts 48 hrs with data always on and moderate usage. I noticed this that when I charge it overnight and it reaches 80%, unplugging it stays at 80% for several hrs and just after it starts dropping if I plug it again, meter reaches 100%. It's weird but as I said I can live with that ;)
[Legend Android Development] generationgav:
I've got exactly the same issue with stock 2.2 ROM. I've never rooted or CM my phone; I was wondering if CM would do it, but doesn't look like it.

android forums /htc-legend/265545-battery-doesnt-fully-charge.html

(sorry, I can't post links; maybe an admin can fix the link for me?

This seems to indicate it's a phone hardware fault and requires a new Legend to fix! My big worry is, as stated, that the charging light never goes green; therefore is pumping lots of power into a potentially full battery.

i'm dumb as a brick cause that's what i have...a brick. honestly, i'm not sure how i managed this. it was late at night and i've done so many things trying to fix. here's my current situation:

i followed a guide somewhere on what to do if you think you've bricked your phone. it involves a pit file, a system.tar.md5, a kernel.tar.md5, and a recovery.tar.md5.

using odin, i can successfully flash the system.tar.md5 and the kernel.tar.md5.

...but the recovery.tar.md5 fails almost immediately. i have also tried using odin to flash clockworkrecovery. it too fails almost immediately.

my phone will not power on. however, if i plug the usb cable to my computer and the phone, i get the big battery picture (like it's recharging) but the little flower-like 'busy' indicator in the middle is not moving.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stereoblind:
Remove the battery. Hold volume down and plug the phone into your computer. It should enter download mode, enabling you to Odin back to stock.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewookie:
i've already tried that. it fails at the end of the flash when odin gets to 'recovery.bin'
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
have you restored back to stock before with those files?

you might have a bad download. Try re-downloading your files and try with the new files.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewookie:
yes, all the roms? i have on hand i have previously used before and they worked. now everything i throw at it fails when it gets to recovery.bin and the phone won't power on. when i press the power button, nothing happens. however, if i plug into my computer, i get the previously mentioned battery screen.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
My suggestion is that if you're able to get into Odin, don't lose hope you should be able to get back to stock.

Also, i'm not sure what files and what thread you followed for returning to stock, but this is my GO TO thread for anytime i want a really fresh start from scratch.

use the downloads from that thread and follow the instructions. You will need to do some more work afterwards to get back to where you want, but it should get you up and running at least
