[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
i noticed this. It is because they don't use a square font like courier new. Find a monospaced font to replace it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maddogxda:
so it's possible to change the font?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
You need root to change it. You can also take the default clock font and edit it with a font editor to make it have the same gap for all letters.

It's totally dry now, but when I power it up, only the capacitive buttons light up. They also respond to touch (flash on and off when touched) but the screen doesn't turn on or boot. I've tried to force download mode and recovery but no luck. Any suggestions?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peecs121:
Take your phone apart, battery, sim and sd card, and put everything in a bag of rice for 24 hours. Clean it up and put it all back together and it should fire right up. Good luck!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blogus:
Hi there,

I'm new to WP7 and realized that contacts on device are automatically synced to accounts in the associated live account!

Is there any way to disable live services or use the phone without having to associate with a live account?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrmgic:
No. A live account is required.. and you can't disable live contacts.

In the upcoming mango update you can hide them in your contact list, but prior to that it's not an option.

In my case my live contacts and my facebook contacts had some overlap, so I just linked the contacts from both to avoid having duplicates.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surlary:
How about using a new live id without any contacts?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blogus:
Argh!

That is a big deal is privacy is of any concern.

Andrmgi: by hiding do you mean keeping it on the device and preventing it from uploading to the live account?

surlary: a new account wouldn't help since it would automatically sync whatever contact you enter into the phone with a live account.

I think it is a reasonable request to not want your contact list on virtual servers! I don't think my friends would like me to hand over their contact info including home phone number to MS.

At one point when I just started, it asked if I wanted to associate a contact with one of the two email accounts (dafault live accout and gmail). I wish I could see that screen still. I'm thinking I could setup another email account that is not google and associate all contacts with that account.

[Nook Color General] AyoJake:
was wondering if there is a requirment on what class sd card you need to have to run android been lookin around and havent saw anything yet sorry if its obvious.

thanks for any help.

mods can delete this after i get a answer.
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
if you plan on booting any roms off of a sd card, you're going to probably want a sandisk class 2/4.

And yes, the brand makes a difference.
[Nook Color General] AyoJake:
im pretty sure i have 2 8gb class 2's i was told that it wouldnt be fast enough is this true or would i be ok?
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
it's actually not the speed, it's the random write speed per se. So it has to do with sandisk for some reason in particular. It's possible that they might the OEM providers of their actual internal flash, which would explain things actually.

I haven't looked in the tear down thread to be absolutely sure, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Class 2 is great.

If you got any OLD sandisk cards, that they don't make anymore, they are even better.
[Nook Color General] AyoJake:
alright cool i got a 8gb class 2 sandisk card thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] GManLynx:
Hey I am just curious, how much dev support does the sensation have? Since many of us have S-On it is hard to tell. Like we will get CM7 and MIUI when s-off occurs? Or is it too early to tell

Of course we'll get all that

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinzy:
Hi,

I was using PSFreedom PS3 jailbreaker app, which messes with the bootloader. After first reboot it was fine, I disabled it and after that reboot it was fine again.

Third time however, it went directly into the bootloader. I rebooted again and back into the white screen bootloader. It gives the option of FASTBOOT and RECOVERY etc, which I can get into fine.

I am assuming I can just reflash CM7 and fix this?

Also, is it possible for me to perform some sort of ADB command to fix this WITHOUT reflashing? The reason I ask is coz I have some save games on it that I havent backed up that I wanna keep. Or is there even a way I can back up an app from Amon-Ras recovery menu??

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinzy:
I'm actually just gonna try using ADB pull to backup the /data/data/com*.* directory of the specific games I want.

Does someone know if I do that, will it work? Coz I've installed that patch that installs APPS to the partition on the SD card, giving me more space on my phone. So do I need to "adb pull" from that other partition too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well usually the a2sd scripts will, not move the data-folder, so you'll only need to pull /data/data/* to backup. This will work for most apps, however some might check for this and disallow it, but it shouldn't be a problem.

And yes backing up and reflashing is the most suitable solution.

Additionally i'd like to correct you. No the ps3 bjailbreak does not mess with the bootloader. It uses a custom kernel(/boot) and activates a feature in there. Whereas the hboot is something entirely different, which the system cannot mess with in any way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
I've installed the Yelp, Movies, and Amazon app, nothing else, and I'm losing around 15% an hour with light/normal usage.

I've let the battery run down to 0 and recharged completely, I've turned off gps and wifi, and still get really bad life. I live in the Bay Area and get a solid signal all of the time. There's really no excuse for it.

Please don't tell me to flash to a rom, because that's obviously not fixing the issue. Light browsing and the occasional Google Maps has my phone at <20% by the afternoon.

Battery stats just show android system and screen brightness taking up power. What's the deal?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
I also constantly have at least 255 / 328mb in use even with all applications closed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
The mb usage is normal i noticed this on stock because of Verizon apps that run in background. As far as not using the phone and only getting 6 good hours of use. i would take to the store and ask if they could change out the battery. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
+1 for that, sounds like you have a defective battery.

Sent from my Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] Abradax:
Thats about how long my battery gets me.

And if I forget to power down my phone at night, or put it on a charger it is dead by morning no matter how much of a charge it has before I go to bed.

I have an extended battery starring me in the face and can't use it yet since I couldn't find a door and had to have one shipped from Samsung.

Hopefully the extended battery cures my issues.

(I am running Gummy Charged 2.3.3 Beta, currently waiting for the 2.3.4 release)
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
I am curious as to what you guys are running. And if you go to bed with your phone on , and its dead by morning I can PROMISE you there is either something going on with your phone, or you are doing something wrong (i.e. you have your phone set to never sleep, your screen is set to maximum brightness, your are leaving your phone in desk cradle mode, etc etc etc.) But it's not the phone. May be a bad battery, but without being at your house and seeing what you are doing, I have no intelligent answer for you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
charge phone to 100%, boot into clockwork recovery and wipe your battery stats, then use the phone until you completely drain your battery until it shuts off. Then charge back up completely. This will calibrate your battery. try running a customer rom such as gummy charged or humble to see if you get bettery battery life... thousands of users have reported great battery life with both
[Verizon Droid Charge] largo79:
I had same crummy battery life. I followed the calibration instructions and i went from about 5-6 hr batt life to ( right now im at almost 11hrs with 66% battery left on wifi with moderate use). Ill test tomorrow on 4g only and see how it does. I would get like 4-5 hrs before.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Khanusma:
I am running the latest humble and my battery drops really fast. If I go into task manager and clear my RAM, I get better battery. I calibrated per the instructions as well about a week ago or so and saw no improvement. Please note that I have not been scientific about it at all.

Stopping Data obv helps a million and clearing RAM seems to help as well.

EDIT: I am recalibrating in case it was not done properly before. Hopefully it will help. I am hopeful!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Abradax:
I charged my battery to full, booted into clockwork recovery and wiped my battery stats.

When I rebooted my phone it shows a 73% charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
If you are on humble 1.x then that means your battery stats were way off. Basically your battery still needs 23% more charge before its full... thus better battery life... because you had a miscalibrated battery, your phone is erroneously reporting a full charge... charge it back to 100% then discharge fully then charge all the back up
[Verizon Droid Charge] Abradax:
I'm on Gummy Charge GRE, but I assume the same reason?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
I exchanged my battery at verizon. So far it seems better. Ive let it drain and am recharging now. I will also try uninstalling g+ if the new batt hasnt solved the problem. I will post back with an update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
I switched out my battery 2 days ago, and I'm still getting under 6 hours with moderate use.

Has anyone had luck with ROMs drastically improving battery life? I can't imagine it being the phone itself, but I might try exchanging it too.

EDIT: it seems like the new battery charges a bit faster. My old battery would take around a minute for one percentage gain. Can anyone comment on their charge times?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foodie_Monster:
Hey everyone!

Just curious about something: I recently purchased a tab P1010L, and to my surprise, it's basically just a big phone. I'm fine with that, you know? But I was expecting to get some Gingerbread love for Google Talk and you know, MAYBE USE THE FRICKIN' FFC that comes with it, since Qik, Tango and Fring all work like crap if at all.

So really, I'm wondering how come there's nothing on the P1010 anywhere on the web? Like no active development, no custom ROMs, no dedicated forums... just... nothing. Or maybe I just haven't found such a place yet? If so, please do tell.

WHY is the Wi-Fi Only Tab such an outcast for devs? It's a cheaper device with no contracts attached to it, so why don't devs work on it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
because its only WIFI , almost ppl have GSM tab And VRN thats all

with wifi why you should even bother yourself to custom rom for it , if its only got 1 mission to go with ( WIFI only ) serfing the internet thats all

you shouldn't buy the wifi only ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foodie_Monster:
That's dumb. I carry a phone with me that is perfectly capable of tethering to my Tablet and that way I can have the best of both worlds. Your argument is absolutely silly.

Why would you pay for *two* contracts, phone and tablet, instead of just one?

Also, saying that Wi-Fi is only for browsing the internet is plain silly. What about video chat? Games? production apps? I'm sorry, but I rather keep the *phone* part on, you know, my actualy phone.

Is there anyone else willing to shed light into this, but this time with some semblance of logic?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
woh !! why you take it so deeply ?

i just give my opinion about the WIFI only tab , Surfing the internet its also mean you can chat , do whatever by using the internet

i'm using my tab as a phone and tablet , but if you asked anyone what brand of tab you'll buy sure will go for the GSM tabs because it have alot of options and roms to flash ;)

anyways i'm sorry i didn't mean to be an A***hole about your tab feelings
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foodie_Monster:
You didn't hurt my feelings, but you came off a bit thick-headed. Most people don't normally use their tab as a phone, considering you cannot carry it in a pocket or a suit. Sure, non-working people may carry rucksacks with them at all times and use silly Bluetooth headsets, but normal folk? Nope.

Sure, I can understand having more options, but there's *plenty* of tabs out there that don't have GSM modules yet they have development. I didn't figure a Galaxy Tab, which is arguably one of the most popular tabs out there, would not have any development at all for one of its branches.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
the tab can fit in my back pocket :) and yeah maybe its wiredo that carrying headset bluetooth all the time , that is why i'm not using them anymore :)

even though if you are business man , or anything , you should wear formula to your work (jacket) so its very possible that the tab fit inside the jacket pocket right and it will look more *SEXY* with bluetooth headset :p

because almost the business man wearing it

but you right there is not dev for the wifi tab and that's so wired
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manggagalugad:
Same concern here. I was surprised by the lack of interest

with community development for the P1010. So now, I'm

starting to wonder whether could I shell out few more grand

to have my P1010 replaced with P1000. Just not sure if I

can do that, otherwise I'm stuck with P1010 so might as well

maximize what I can with it...

I'm still hoping and looking forward to community support

in the coming months though. Let's hope the awesome

developers at XDA finds interest with it.

in the same place with you all brother. my biggest problem is video with skype. I know there's a hacked one already (link) but there are issues with rotation that are still awaiting resolution. :( i heard that skype video calling works just fine in p1000 running on gingerbread :eek: and hence the frustration of upgrading to gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urra901109:
another frustrated P1010 user :(

i got a cheap offer for this tablet and since the name wasn't that far from its older brother (Galaxy Tab P1000> Galaxy Tab P1010), i assume the news on Gingerbread also meant for the P1010 and not just P1000. now i'm stuck on Froyo.. anyone heard any rumours on Gingerbread coming to P1010? i just want to have skype FFC video chat
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] areshinakya:
You should know that there are many countries in which you could get the p1000 WITHOUT contract. Price was 350 vs 300 euro at the time I bought mine.

The p1000 has better a cpu core, sgx core and better bluetooth, thats why I chose it over the p1000, even if I didnt plan to use a sim card back then.

This might be a reason for p1000 vs p1010 sales at least here in europe...

Universal Naked Driver 0.72

** Google Nexus 4 Added

** Google Nexus 10 Added

** Google Nexus Q Added

** Google Nexus S Added

32 & 64 Bit Windows 8 / 7 / Vista / XP - Attached to this post!

MD5: 30D25BC073F010CA01178CD6E2C5E4FA

I am happy to release my Universal Naked Driver. This is to allow ADB, Fastboot & APX interfaces to work without installing any package much less multiples packages for users with multiple devices. Yes you can just install them and uninstall right away but why bother?

I was annoyed that I couldnt use my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus without having versions and packages trip over each other. My previous post for the Sensation & Galaxy Nexus was helpful so I thought I would bring to XDA the newest Android driver available from source (which they call 4.0) and make it start talking.

Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

Google Nexus Devices ADB & Fastboot
Samsung Devices ADB & Fastboot
Asus Devices ADB, Fastboot & APX
HTC Devices ADB & Fastboot

[B]Windows 8 Instructions[/B]

How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:

From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.

Enjoy!

[HTC Sensation] fkofilee:
just out of interest where do these drivers go ?
[HTC Sensation] 1wayjonny:
You would extract the drivers first to any temp folder, once phone is plugged in you system will look for drivers and when it cant find them you would point it to your temp folder.

When that happens it will copy the files it needs from the temp folder to windows drivers, after this process the temp folder is no longer needed.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] suwu10:
why are they in .rar format? arent they supposed to be a .zip file?
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
You could just download this driver from the HTC Developers website (http://developer.htc.com)

It includes the driver for nearly all Windows OS

Go to the webpage, then scroll right to the bottom. Its labelled 'HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC' and is 5.5MB.

Fast download, and no need for any waiting or popups you get from filesharing websites.

Great Tip but its an older version and might not have the edits to allow newer phones.

The one on the site is from 11/2010 and is version 2.0.0007.00002, this one is 3.0.0.007.

I do not think it has a ton of features but its newer and has compatibly for more phones.

[HTC Sensation] joncy92:
Hiya, just downloaded your driver and tried on both my 64bit machine and 32bit laptop. When I plug my phone in, the system automatically finds drivers every time (even on the 64bit which is a completely fresh install, no HTC or android stuff on it at all). When I try to apply your driver the systems pops up a message saying:

"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work Windows for x64-based systems."

And it says the same for the 32bit system, but instead it obviously says x86-based systems..

I have definitely downloaded the correct driver...Don't know what's going on.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] 1wayjonny:
Hmm, the drivers do check the USB signature of the phone.

What version of the phone do you have? When did you get it? Wondering if its a new hardware revision of the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] joncy92:
It arrived today from T-Mobile (UK). The HBOOT is 1.17.0011 if that's what you mean and model Z710e

Yup that's what I meant, hmm. Just checked the HTC site for Europe and the sync install confirms the newest version is still 3.0.0.007

Please go to your device manager and find the unknown device, right click and go to properties then do the same in the screen shot and share your USB ID

[HTC Sensation] joncy92:
The device isn't unknown in the device manager. It actually installs drivers when I plug it in. Even on a fresh install of windows.

Edit: Okay I've got it working. For some reason there was no device called My HTC before, it was only I:/ (drive letter), USB composite device, and HTC Android Phone USB Device. The drivers weren't working for these, but for whatever reason the "My HTC" hardware has shown up and accepted the drivers. Thanks for the help !
