Option 2, the TypeFresh method works for me very nicely. It renders bangla perfectly with the a-kar, e-kar coming exactly how it should be. The bangla font I used is Nikosh2010, a free font.

My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830

Android version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: S5830DDKC1

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf root@SE-S605 #1

Build Number: FROYO.DDKC1

I use Mayabi Keyboard from Android market for writing bangla. It works excellent as well.

Using option 2 I installed SolaimanLipi on my Galaxy tab but rendering is not perfect. A-kar or E-kar breaks. Any solutions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] robinmobile:
Sound likes device related problem.

I haven't seen anyone trying this on a tab. You can try it with a Rom that supports windows 7 fonts mod. But that is a wild thought. Share ur experience if u do.

I suppose u have root.

just a quick update for those interested, Android 4.0 ICS shows bengali fonts by default. However, the lack of support for joint-letters still remains.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] robinmobile:
Problem solved by google.

Ics 4.0.3 has bangla support by default and now with perfect rendering for all fonts. Bangla fonts looks now like ios bangla fonts now.

So if you want perfect bangla on your device root your device and flash a Rom with ics version 4.0.3.

Version 4.0.2 still does not support banngla .

I have HTC desire hd and flashed icesense v.

Motorola changed display brightness levels on Android 2.2 as on 2.1 were wrong (very bright even at lower setting)

so, there's nothing wrong with that, you've to adjust new levels to your liking
[Defy General] mihovil13:
Eclair Defy Brightness settings were a little bit wrong, so you just need to adjust your brightness setting in Settings -> Sound&Display -> Brightness
[Defy General] Buchko:
ok thanx for the answers but i still liked it better before, wrong or not it was better i sunligt/dayligt with brighter display. Even if i set the brightness at max and no automatic brightness its hard to see anything on the display in a sunny day :(

Isn't it any way to solve this on froyo or do i have to go back to eclair? I may be stupid but if i can't use the pfone in daylight at example in my boat with navigation like i did before it's useless with froyo :rolleyes:
[Defy General] Darmach:
This actually sucks, because i've never had any problems in direct sunlight woth 2.1 and now i have many situations when i just dont see anything on a screen. But i down want to dismiss automatic brightness....

It would be great if someone would write and application to tweak default auto brightness curve... like in beta version of juice defender - but without all other functions of that app...

Hi All,

Anyone else having issues with MP3 playback using the defaul music player (and also using the Cubed player? About half of my mp3's on the device stop playing after about 1/2 a second. I initally moved my music library via simply drag and drop into the device storage from my Win7 PC. I then deleted the entire library and tried syncing via WMP. Made no difference. Files play back fine using PowerAmp. I'm really digging the new android Music player though, and would love to get it working properly. Any ideas on what's causing this?

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/02/lte-galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-official-on-verizon-orders-start-june/

Info in the 4G GT 10.1 from Verizon. Pre-orders start June 8th, but no ship date mentioned yet.

"Verizon Wireless will offer two 4G LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 models both priced with two year customer agreements: $529.99 for the 16GB model and $629.99 for the 32GB model. For more information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, go to: www.verizonwireless.com/galaxytab4glte."

Price seems a bit high considering it's with a 2 year contract. Hmm..

And more importantly, the linked page gives some basic specs, but makes no mention of micro SD (was assuming the 4G version might have this if the Wifi one doesn't).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eloquence:
microSD Card slot please?

Will there be a microSD card slot w/ this 4G version? If so, curse you Verizon/Samsung for you have successfully wooed me away from the WiFi only version!

DANG IT!! :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MrSewerPickle:
I would go ahead a say that the price is insanely too high. So basically you are required to get a 2 year contract with almost no subsidized price incentive.

So the Verizon has moved to the next level of how far they can push the bar in their favor. You are now required to have a 2 year contract with all of its ETF glory to even have the privilege of purchasing a Galaxy 10.1 at near full price from them.

Wow, how far we have come from the options of full price but no contract or almost free but 2 years required. Excellent. Now we can only hope for this to be soaked up by debut ridden folks quickly....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
The following is basically assumptions and guesses on my part.

I'm assuming Verizon is subsidizing about $200 on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (that is what they subsidized on the Xoom). And the off contract price for the 16GB model is $730.

That means you are paying $230 for the 4G modem.

The Motorola Xoom for example costs $800 for the 3G/4G model and $600 for the wifi model. So you are paying $200 for it's 3G modem with free 4G upgrade later.

So the 4G modem in the Galaxy tab is only $30 more compared to the Xoom and you won't have to go through the hassle of shipping your tablet in for a 4G upgrade.

Also there is the possibility the 4G model has micro SD, so that might also be while the 4G model costs a bit more.

So the price seems a bit high, but maybe there is a reason for it. Just wish these carriers would subsidize more than $200 on these tablets. And I don't get why these modems add so much to the price of a tablet in the first place.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sriram_s:
The big question is whether Verizon is going to deface the device with their logo....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperialX:
I just noticed that under heavy use such as decoding mkv the phone can get a bit hot. Especially in the upper part of the display under the samsung logo.

Anyone else experience this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doh:
My SGS2 gets fairly hot when the CPU is busy on the backside right below the Camera, which is pretty much in the same place, just on the backside instead of frontside.

I'd say its normal behavior. I've noticed it is especially bad with applications or games, that use a lot of CPU cycles.

Being as powerful as it is, i wouldn't be surprised if the SGS2 uses up more power when the CPU is active then older phones. Power usage for doing the same amount of work should be lower then older phones. However some applications don't limit their CPU usage, and therefore you may end up using more power (phone getting hotter) then you would on older phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiia:
Well it is after all one of the thinnest and most powerful smartphones on the market.

Power = Heat

Thin = Little cooling space = Heat

Heat + Heat = Much heat

No way it's overheating though. I think that would be possible if you overclocked it but I'm fairly sure they've tested it for overheating with stock frequencies and voltages. If you read the manual it probably says that you're not supposed to use it for long periods of time in direct sunlight to prevent overheating, just like it says in almost every phone manual. At least iPhone shuts itself down if it gets too hot and I wouldn't be surprised if modern Android phones did that too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yousef-SYI:
You said it yourself, "Heavy use", the S2 is just a handset after all, not PC with liquid cooling or something.

The CPU produces a lot of heat, it's a powerful CPU, the device is thin, so:

powerful hot CPU + thin choking case + long time heavy use + your warm hands all over the device playing games and surfing the web etc = very hot device.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Take the system partition, add the sd card partition (not the external one, thats the sd card you put in, the sgs2 just calls extra internal storage the sd card)

Then take off a bit for the space taken up by file system formatting, hidden system bits, cache etc.

And you should have 16GB

go into settings > storage

The numbers you want are "USB storage" and "Device memory" device memory wont show total, but if you go to settings > applications > manage applications, and look at the bar at the bottom it will show the device memory used and free.

Or get a app from the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LunaNoctis:
It is not as easy as it sounds with adding partitions as there are 12 partitions on a Galaxy SII, most of them not visible to the user.

If you have a file manager on the phone which can display files in /sys, then display /sys/block/mmcblk0/size (as a text file). This should display a number in 512 byte units. When you multiply this number by 512 you should get the total capacity (not including the space used by the primary bootloader maybe) On my phone I get 15,756,951,552 bytes, which is roughly 16 GB (not 16 GiB)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Well yes, but I don't think the average person will want to count down to the byte ;)

Nice detective work though!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
There is some smaller partitions (1 - 6) summing up to 46.5 MB

Then there is

- cache 100MB

- modem/radio 16MB

- system os partition 512MB

- user data partition (where, among other things, installed apps and their data are stored) 2GB

- some weird "hidden" partition I have no idea what's stored on it 512MB

That roughly summs up to 3.3G.

Addup the ~11.5GB you see as /sdcard and multiply a few times by 1024 and you get something close to 16000000000 Bytes -> there is your 16GB.

For marketing and advertisement reasons capacities are always given as "millions of bytes" with a factor of 1000, not like computers deal with it with a factor of 1024.

For that already a 16GB device shows only up as around 14.5GB on a computer.

That's also why your "1TB USB HDD" from the electronics market only shows up with something around 900GB.

Wanna see it for yourself, open up a terminal or adbshell on your SGS2 and type:

cat /proc/partitions

There you go :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LunaNoctis:
This partition has a (hidden) .ngmoco directory. As far as I remember I have seen this directory on a non-hidden partition too so this might be used to preinstall additional packages when the Android device is booted the first time.

Only about 20M of this is used on my device so thats somewhat a waste of space

Yes and no. It is not for marketing purposes only although they are happy to announce higher numbers. The official standard for units (gramm, meter, etc.) state that kilo is for 1000 units , mega for 1000000 units etc. The "standard" used for bytes / RAM conflicts with the standard of the SI units and is discouraged to use.

There is a "standard" which explicitly states that a factor of 1024 is used, but almost nobody uses this "standard" because it looks weird and unusual. Acoording to this standard, 1024*1024*1024 bytes are called 1 gibibyte (1 GiB). Most people (including me when I don't explicitly think about it) and appications still call this 1 gigabyte (1 GB) which leads to confusion.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankey:
Some more exercise for the analytic minds here, why do Galaxy S with same 16GB Internal SD has 13.5GB after taking 2GB (RFS or EXT4, etc.) for data partition and possibly around 500MB for system?

I understand that instead of 1.8xGB as used in SGS1 is lesser than 2.1xGB in SGS2 for data partition which should include dbdata, cache, etc like in SGS1. Also accounting for those hidden partitions, we still don't know an additional 1GB lost (swap partition?)?

I would appreciate inputs from someone who knows how SGS2 utilizes internal SD and if we could repartition to reclaim some space.

Within my company we use a DNS suffix to connect to the internet/intranet. Without that DNS suffix you can not do anything. Does anyone know how to add this within android. Also it is not an IP rather a FQDN.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
Add

search example.com

to resolv.conf. FWIW, what you are doing is pretty much broken. (As for "you cannot do anything, that is simply not true, the name resolution will not work without specifying FQDN - i.e., will not autoappend domain-suffix - that is all.)

Not really sure whether the DHCP client on Android supports this (ISC DHCP v4 does support DHCP option 119).

Also, unless the dhcp client gets run with -R option (talking about isc-dhcp here), resolv.conf will get overwritten.

IOW, fix your DHCP/DNS to use FQDNs everywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] ssjgoku24:
Thanks for the help.

So basically there isn't a way to do this on android because of the broken functionality? I don't have access to the servers to change the way the DNS works.

Well, I pretty much see this as a non-issue. Simply use FQDNs for whatever you need and that is all; "we use a DNS suffix to connect to the internet/intranet" does not make much sense really.

Okay. Let me put it this way. I cannot access www.google.com (or any network resource) on any pc without adding example.com to the DNS suffix list under the advanced properties of ipv4 in the network adapters properties. Because there is no option like this on android I cannot browse the web, or access anything. All you get is this page could not be displayed.

P.S. Regardless the above (since I do not feel like debugging the über-broken network setup in $your_company for much longer). Kindly note the IP address, netmask and gateway settings you get when using DHCP. Then go to WiFi settings, select Advanced, check Use static IP, input the details noted before there and stick 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the DNS1/DNS2 fields. This way, you can browse internet just fine using Google public DNS servers.
