[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
It won't work in all of your apps because some of them are hard coded to use a specific font. I've done the below with Polaris to install a bunch of fonts not previously present on the device. It works well.

Any font that you want to add to the system is pretty easy though if you're rooted:

adb remount

adb push <fontfile> /system/fonts/

Done :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
So I've tried out MikG 2.2, Synergy nightlies and 6/27 RC1, Kingdom Revolution and Synergy-Kingdom and I seem to have the same two prevalent issues I could use some help with.

1.) I use the desk clock feature of my EVO in night mode. Problem is all these roms share a common problem, that being that for some reason the World Clock service will crash and take it out of night mode. Also not sure why but with standard EVO sense roms it immediately goes to the clock whereas with the sense 2.1/3.0 roms the screen dims but doesn't go to the night clock for somewhere around 10 minutes like on an aosp rom.

2.) I use google nav heavily. I make about 10-15 stops a day for work and need it always running. Problem is with sense 2.1/3.0 roms that for some reason I haven't been able to identify, the screen will dim randomly and ultimately shut off during navigation sessions. I have tried setting the screen to always on while charging, messed around with spare parts and set the brightness to manual and auto, disabled power saving features on the phone, all to no avail. The phone is constantly plugged in and mounted on my dash, so its always charging.

I keep no personal info on my phone, so when I wipe it for a rom, EVERYTHING is wiped. SDCard, Rotation and battery stats, data, cache, system, boot, everything. I do that once over, then mount it, format the sdcard with my computer, then copy vr_superwipe and flash that to wipe it all again, then remount, format again on computer, unmount and go through the wipe list again, then remount and copy over whatever rom I am installing and start the flashing process. I use AmonRa 2.3 as I have had issues in the past with clockwork not wiping properly. I never punch in my google account until I can disable restore features. I have tried the desktop clock and google nav on a freshly installed version of each of those roms with touching nothing else and also with full profile and all that, they still do what they do.

So my question is to the community, am I overlooking something or does anyone have any ideas for me? I wanted to hit up this forum first before going to the respective dev forums. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I use the desktop clock every night too, on my night stand.

You know, the button next to the "night" button takes it right to the clock screen.

As for Nav, I rarely use it, living in a small town, so I haven't had that problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I haven't noticed any of those problems in regard to the navigation app and I use both Google & the Sprint TelNav app often. My device's display stays lit when I'm using the apps. I haven't noticed the thing in regard to the clock either, but I'll experiment with it later and sew what I CA cone up with. Finally, your method of wiping is suffice. You really don't need a superwipe or format-all zip when yo have RA v2.3 and you wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the card. If you have the time, flash Warm 2.2 RLS-5 and see if you still experience the things you referenced above.

posting & replying from my EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
Not so much worried about the screen not dimming, more dealing with the entire app crashing. Might be worth mentioning I'm on a hw0004 evo as well. I've also used Calkulins latest radios combo pack to make sure I'm at the latest of all radios.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
Something new about the nav issue, the screen doesn't shut off fully, I let it go today to see what would happen and the screen stayed dim until the voice needed to prompt me for a turn in which the screen returned to normal brightness. So it would appear that for some reason the screen will dim after a couple minutes if you're on a straight leg of a trip but will bring the screen back up to normal brightness when it needs to communicate to turn or whatnot. Not sure what to make of that but I was able to confirm it multiple times.

**UPDATE**

Well, apprently a few other people have been seeing this issue from the google maps 5.7 update, so it looks like it might not be ROM related.

Is there any way to see if I have ext4 file system on my phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
goto a terminal, or adb, and type mount...

the output tells what FS each partition is..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
I think you could also do a nandroid backup. Mine looks for sd/ext4 and fails. I figure that's because I'm on an Ext4 Rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiggerrdrr:
Sorry for asking a simple question but even the o2 gurus don't know.

Do updates come via ota or do you HAVE to use kies to get updates??

Or is there only specific updates that come via ota? Ie gingerbread updates come via ota but touchwiz/Samsung updates cone through kies??

There seems to be conflicting info on the net.

Currently have unbranded s2 on o2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kies FOTA has yet to be used by Samsung .

Samsung apps updates come OTA via the Samsung Apps widget .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
If I remember correctly, Samsung never licenced the OTA capability, so while you will see the Software Update in settings, you won't get any joy.

Any official updates will appear via Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blickmanic:
FOTA is a service provided by google, a paid service that is. samsung doesnt pay
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaassema:
Nah, no FOTA... Can't be all fun now can it? Kies is the small price we have to pay for enjoying the best phone in the world ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiggerrdrr:
A samsung Reply....

love the phone, had to jump through a few hoops to get it work through linux/ubuntu as well.. Hence the FOTA update query as i dont go near a windows pc that often.

Anyways an update is needed, after emailing samsung online support team (god knows how long it took me to find this) i received this back

"Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the

following assistance.

Regarding your query, kindly note UK does not support yet OTA ‘over the air’ updates and you can kindly

check our website for further and latest updates. We would like to inform you that our engineering’s are

working on releasing a firmware over the air update for the Galaxy S II ‘GT-I9100’ but it is still not available yet;

however, any news on this matter will be made public through our website so kindly keep checking our

website for latest and further updates.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and

we will be more than happy to help."

if i know engineers... this may be a long * infinity amount of time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
They started FOTA in sweden a few days ago for SGS2 :)

There are several reports that this works well. You simply go to settings->about and manually check for update.

They probably launch soon in other countries as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilsurfincow:
This is also confirmed in Finland. First update I believe we've had since the phone was released..

This is great news for me because as a Mac user Kies does not do firmware upgrades. It will tell you the current and the new version, but no option to update... After seeing this for weeks I pulled out my thinkpad who's sole purpose is Kies.

New version of Kies came out, updated, but some driver would not get installed.. so I uninstalled, downloaded the new version and installed. Still did not work so decided to install the windows updates.. Since that was taking forever decided to kill time looking at XDA.. so I found this thread. Figured it would not work but what the heck...

Checked for software update, downloaded, installed. Done, in 10 minutes. :)

Good thing too as my "Kies" PC fails to boot after the windows updates......:mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
Sounds great, I guess Samsung has released an OTA update for the "NEE" region regardless of the specific country then. If I'm right OTA should work in Denmark and Norway as well, assuming you're using stock firmware though...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiggerrdrr:
So are these OTA's being delivered by Samsung or by your carrier??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
This is done via the Samsung account (you need to create one when searching for udpate the first time). So these are delivered by Samsung at least in that sense.

But also carrier specific firmwares in general are released by Samsung (via Kies).

Hello guys, I doubt many will know me - a lurker around here.

Anyway, after AlphaRevX was finally released, I was finally able to get S-OFF and finally got apps which need root like Type Fresh and Root Explorer to work.

So... I've customized quite a bit - changed fonts, etc...

I was wondering, what else can I do with a rooted S-OFFed phone? Want to personalize it even more.. just not sure what I can do with it.

Your suggestions would be lovely, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] SamuraiX10:
With S-off the best you can do is change the sistems parts size.

With that, you can flash to have more caché size, or sistem size ...

[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
Its very annoying that phone models are locked into specific carriers (hope this changes in the future) but im currently on AT&T, which in my area has the best overall signal coverage. Can this phone be put on the ATT network?

Is this phone a good one? My roommate just got the Incredible 2, and im liking the Thunderbolt, but thinking i need to jump on the Dual core market. I currently have a Touch pro 2, which is ok, but SLOW.

Also, what features does this phone have? HTC's own site seems selective on what they post on their specs (they tend to leave out common features on some phones)

Things I like on the thunderbolt spec sheet are..

Dual mics with noise cancellation, Compass sensor, G-Sensor, Proximity sensor (not sure what this is used for), Light sensor, 3.5mm audio jack, MicroUSB, FM radio. (i also like the kick stand)

The G-Sensor i think is pretty standard these days, tho not sure what they mean by the Compass sensor, id be great if it actually had a compass in it.

But this phone doesn't list ANY special features on HTC site.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
The Bell model gets At&t bands
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
the What model?
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Bell is a Canadian phone company (pretty sure) and has the same bands as ATT so their phones are compatible. If you're gonna jump onto the dual-core wagon, check out the SGS2 phones (i'm pretty sure ATT has one coming to them soon if not already...) Then you wont need to unlock or worry about compatibility
[HTC Sensation] hurrpancakes:
The sensation 4g will work on att, but you won't get 3g data.

Of the specs you listed regarding the Thunderbolt, the sensation 4g has all those features, minus a kickstand.

Also, the proximity sensor is used to detect close or far objects. An example of it in use is when you put your ear up to the phone during a call, and the screen automatically turns off, then turns back on when you move away from it.
[HTC Sensation] mitchsurp:
Don't try to get the tmobile version. You won't get anything above 2g.
[HTC Sensation] bracketologist:
The Bell (Canadian) model (Z710A) will work on AT&T 3G. The T-Mobile or European versions will work on AT&T, but they will only connect with EDGE data speeds, not 3G.
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
I'm not overly concerned about data really, unless i'm forced to pay for it. The Touch Pro 2 i have now i bought unlocked so i didn't have to pay for data.

I thought the light sensor did that? My TP2 does that, but doesn't mention a prox. sensor.
[HTC Sensation] Funk2641:
The Bell model gets 3G bands but is locked at the moment. It should be unlocked next week:

http://negrielectronics.com/htc-z710a-sensation-850-1900-3g.html

the t-Mo and Euro versions work but only allow 2G
[HTC Sensation] mitchsurp:
You shouldn't have a required data plan if you pay cash for the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
Eww.. I paied that much for my TP2, i cant really afford that again... i might be stuck with a contract :( Which id bet i couldnt get this.. this sucks lol.

Hows the speaker on this phone? My TP2 has dual speaker and has pretty good quality (also has a handy mic mute on the back). It also uses the sensor and switch's it to speaker when i flip the phone over (lying on the screen) Can this phone, or others do that or is that a TP2 specific thing?

Well, nobody around here offers this phone.. Which sucks. Ive been watching reviews on both This and the SGS2. While the SGS2 looks like a nice phone, and seems to be pretty comparable, i like how the Sensation looks alitlte more. The button placement, and the more 'roundness of it is more to my taste than then square 'iphone-iks' looking SGS2. Hell id proly be willing to start using a data plan if i could get this phone on att. (tmobile isnt in my area, if they are their coverage isnt good.)
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
$550CAD straight from Bell Canada, which won't really help you much if you don't live in Canada or near the border. Once they're carrier unlocked and have custom ROMS I'll drive up and pick up a Bell model to use on AT&T, can't wait :)
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
ok.. i was wrong.. T-mobile is apparently in my area. I have no personal experiences with them however and none of my friends use them, so not sure how well they work in my area. Its food for thought tho.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Where are you located?

Chances are you aren't in a 3G coverage area which is good news because you can skip out on paying through the nose for a data plan... just opt for the 200MB no overage "unlimited" throttle point data plan and you're good to go. Voice coverage is probably still a concern but if it's just bad at your house T-Mobile has WiFi calling which uses your WiFi network to place and receive calls and texts
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
im around IU campus in Indiana. Their map shows 'average' coverage around town, but i know how exaggerated/inaccurate those maps can be.

As far as the data, from what ive seen, it includes up to 4g

You are correct, 3g isn't in this area, let alone 4g (and from what i've told, nobody except Verizon has 'true 4g' anyway)

I dono, i guess im just use to ATT lol. Still, even with a new contract its 200 bucks upfront, which i cant afford atm. Still, im kinda drooling over this phone lol. Im over WinMo :cool:
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
about time.

If there are wal-marts in your part of the country, I hear they have it for $148.88
[HTC Sensation] Lyian:
lol, yea, otherside of town has one, but blah buying one from wal-mart. Somehow i dont trust them to set things up correctly. Transferring my number and whatnot. It will take a month or two for me to have the money in any event.

i kinda hate that every place has different deals. T-mobile itslef has a higher upfront cost, ($250) but a lower monthly charge (59.99) but Newegg has a lower upfront ($150) but a higher monthly (69.99). The monthly cost seems to differ in the data.. Tmoble charing 10, newegg 20.

Bah!
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
@ Lyian Keep an eye out on the tmobile website. Just last Wed/Thurs (for lilke 24 hours) they were selling the Sensation for free with new contracts/new lines of service.

Keep an eye out tmo does that all the time.
[HTC Sensation] alanxr:
If anyone wants to know I have a Sensation from T-mobile in Puerto Rico and I noticed that it says in the box that it works on 1700, 1900 and 2100 frequencies for data which means it can work on AT&T.

I'll try to unblock it later and see if it really works.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The speaker isn't that good for most apps. But for certain apps (like Google Music) it's really loud. I don't know why. Most people have overcome this problem by using the Equalizer app or Volume+ though. And yes, it can do that.

I was going to flash the Honeybread theme so I went into recovery and did a backup. I flashed the theme but my bottom bar was missing (due to the fact that I did a metamorph to remove the clock from bottom bar). I booted back into recovery and did a restore to the backup I did today. It went through the whole process and when it booted up it wanted me to go through a setup. What happened?

I have this weird problem, whenever i text with friends, if i respond back within a minute and the time is the same, then my message will go above my friends message. But if i message back like 1 minute later then it goes below. So i only have the problem if i manage to message back within a minute and before the clock change.

Anyone else have the problem? I allready updated my phone to newest.

And after i did update my phone (did it through the post in the forum here) it wiped my phone complete, so i guess making another reset wont work maybe.

[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
I also read that sometimes the SGS1 would do that too, but there was no fix that I saw for it. It had something to do with the way the phone time-stamped the messages...

Neither of those threads have anything to do with the OP, bowers131.
