[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Westerhoff:
Hello Guys!

Been a while since I last been around xda or android so therefore I have a question!

I bought a HTC Flyer in the US, at Bestbuy. Now I'm from Denmark and therefore I would like it on Danish. I got the keyboard on Danish and I can ofc live with English language, however I would like to give it the last 1% toward the 100 of a perfect tablet experience.

I can't choose Danish under the language selection, so is there a way to get Danish. Maybe by getting the EU Version of Android 2.3.3? By rooting or shall I just give up, because it's now possible?

On forehand, thanks ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SpartanWarrior:
I have the exact same problem with my HTC Flyer. I am Greek but Greek language is nowhere to be found in it. Even my Samsung Galaxy S (which still runs on android 2.2) has Greek!

I contacted HTC support and they told me to look at the Market for an add-on!! I specificaly asked the following question:" Do you mean Greek Keyboard OR Greek system menus? Because i do have a Greek Keyboard." The answear was "Greek system menus". I then searched the Market but i did't find any such app or add-on. Didn't contact HTC support again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Mr.305:
Get morelocale2 from android market

Can change system UI language

[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Hi guys,

Would we be able to alter the Quick Setting menu in Sense 2.1 and create an extra setting for Auto Rotate?

I'm sure it would be possible.

If anyone has some idea on how to do it, please reply.

I'm not very experienced with android. I'm just starting to learn.

But I'm sure we could team up to try and create a simple Quick Setting like this.

I already decompiled Rosie.apk and had a look inside, but didn't get anywhere.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Daan
[HTC Incredible S] TMartin:
SystemUI.apk.....you'll need to do some xml & smali editing.
[HTC Incredible S] TMartin:
I would grab a SystemUI.apk that already has the mod, the stock apk they used as a base and compare the two. Should give you a better understanding.
[HTC Incredible S] GabrielSousa:
and what more files we need ?

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Sorry for the deadness... Didn't have time, to busy being on a holiday.

Anyhoo. I decompiled a Stock SytemUI.apk from HTC Sense 2.1.

This also has code in the SystemUI.apk for autorotate in the quick settings.

It seems like it has already been written but somehow it is not activated.

In the smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/preference/ folder,

There are smali's for Brightness, BT, GPS, Hotspot, Rotation, Setting, Mobile Network, WiFi, Quick Settings and some more.

What do these files do?

Some of the names show up in the Quick Settings menu, but (i.e.) Brightness and Rotation do not.

How do we add these features, any ideas?

Cheers,

Daan

[Nexus S General] sthansen:
I have a family member who was talked into purchasing a Nexus S by a Sprint salesperson. They were coming from a Blackberry so Android was quite a shock. At first they liked the phone as it was really fast and did so many more things than the old BB.*

*

However, as they started talking to other Android users, they figured out they they really wanted their facebook contacts to sync or they wanted to be able to type in more than 160 characters in a text message.

*

And of course their 30 days have passed and they will need to wait another 2 years before Sprint will give them another deal.* I know there are 3rd party apps for texting and to sync the facebook contacts, but I am not sure that is for them.

*

So here*are my questions - What options do they have?* Should I have them pick up a used Evo or Epic*off of eBay?*

*

I hear a lot about "rooting" here, but I am a newbie and I have no idea how that works.* Would that be good for them?*

*

If rooting works - can someone point me to a tutorial that explains how to do it (for a Nexus S)?

*

I want to help them but I need some advice.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
If you want facebook sync there is an App in the market called facebook sync. I haven't tried it out yet so I can't give my opinion. The other thing you can do is to root the phone and flash(install) a custom rom. Cyanogenmod7 and miui both have facebook sync. A for the text limit I don't really know much about it because I mainly do short texts. I do know that miui splits the text for you when send it out. I don't know if that is what the person wants lol.

[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Oh yeah for rooting the phone it is really easy. All you have to do is download the 1 click root method and it is really one click and your done. Instuctions come in the zip file. You can also return the phone to stock just as easy, there is a 1 click unroot method

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] sroeseler:
First off if u need to ask what rooting is you don't need to do it. Not trying to be mean just saying

Second, app it up there are a million apps ive added apps to sync fb photos(once and done), an app for visual voicemail(once and done), .. What IM saying is you can make the phone do anything thats the joy of android, alot of apps are just easy set up and they do their thing never worry about again..

Experiment, try an app like it keep it, don't delete it... The phone has plenty of space.. Down the road if they want more freedom then look into rooting, read up on it make the decision and then there is a ton of help already here and you'll know what your looking for
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I didn't know what root was this time last year, now I can root my refrigerator with my eyes closed :P I think everyone starts somewhere and a nexus is a good place to start.

I wouldn't switch to an evo or epic because they are essentially gonna have the same features as the nexus. There are a ton of people here that would be more than happy to help you make your family members first Android experience more enjoyable. Whether it be installing handcent to split 160 or whatever, people will help. .
[Nexus S General] sthansen:
Thank You for the advice. I will try to find some apps to get the phone to act the way they want.

My first two Android phones were the Epic 4g and now the Evo 3D. I feel kinda lucky that my phone has always been how I want it right out of the box.
[Nexus S General] ervman1:
I've had the evo and the epic before and nothing is as great out of the box as the nexus s..I'd recommend handcent or go SMS for the texting..much better than stock but if you flash miui, its stock messaging looks very nice
[HTC EVO 3D] karikian:
Hello all...

I have never posted anything related to accessories, but after buying over 20 different cases for my E3d, this was by far my favorite and only $2.99 plus shipping.

No kick stand, but light, clean, clear, perfect, and the best of all... WILL NOT MAKE YOUR PHONE TOO TICK OR BULKY!

To me, it was the best one I found... AMAZING!!! I fell in love with my phone all over again...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHVPQ

All the best to you all!
[HTC EVO 3D] BamAlmighty:
Seems pointless with the bottom edge left unprotected.

I prefer the traditional TPU cases, not bulky or thick to me and best of all, they provide complete edge protection.
[HTC EVO 3D] jordant2:
Like it but it seems like you might as well go naked. Not very much protection on there. Probably gives a nice grip though sense it's rubberized.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
I have that case too and agree with you OP. It's great for all I'm looking for in a case (mainly just protecting the camera). I have a tpu case as well, but this one makes the phone seem much thinner. I'm sure it won't do much for drops, but I don't make it a habit to drop my phone on hard surfaces ;).
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Best case so far?

That is completely subjective and based upon each individual's needs.

I for one found that the best case for my needs was an inexpensive hard plastic case that has a carbon fiber look it doesn't offer much protection if I drop it because it doesn't have any silicone lining...but it serves my purpose - that of being able to fit in the iGrip car dock. I also have a Otterbox Commuter case which offers much more protection. It just isn't the best case for my needs.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
I ordered the transparent grey version. Looks a lot like the Case-Mate barely there case but about a quarter of the price. Works for me as this and the case-mate offer the same protection either way.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHVCY
[HTC EVO 3D] xPhantom:
I was definitely intrigued by that case when I was shopping for one, but I prefer to have complete edge protection. I went with TPU and am extremely happy with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
I'm always curious as to which would offer more drop protection, a TPU case or a Seidio Surface case. One's hard plastic the other is TPU but they both cover all the edges. Would either material handle a drop better?

Here's the Surface case.
[HTC EVO 3D] tygger:
Interesting. Is the rubber it self actually thinner than the TPU cases? Adding that little strip of protection across the top and bottom doesnt seem like it adds much bulk.
[HTC EVO 3D] karikian:
Corners are well protected. I just don't see how I can damage the botton and top. Main reason I use a cover is to protect agains falls, glass breakage, and such. The only way I an scretch the botton and top is if I atually let something like my keys scratch it... but I never put it together...

So I have VERY good protection without adding more than a very few millimeters on the size... By the way, it protects the camera very well.

While I had my evo, my case was similar (not top or bottom) but much, much thicker... and I had NOT ONE scratch on the phone... what I mean is, I really like the no top / bottom, but its all personal opinion. If you don't mind it, this is the case to go!
[HTC EVO 3D] karikian:
I agree with you... best case so far, for ME (like I put it in the description). but yeah, I guess I should change the title and add FOR ME. Thanks for pointing that.
[HTC EVO 3D] karikian:
I like the color much better! Thank you! I am buying it now!!
[HTC EVO 3D] karikian:
The TPU (I got one with the diamonds inside) was my favorite and the one I was using before the I mentioned above, definately a great choice too!
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I got something similar from a website that ships from Singapore. There are 2 types one is half the price as the case mate barely there, other is less than $3.

$3 version (not see thru like the OP version)

http://www.obostore.com/hard-plastic-case-skin-faceplate-for-htc-evo-3d-p-1404.html

$14 version - I think slightly better finish than the $3 version and the one I am using.... I bought both.

[Nook Color General] rnikec:
Hello all from shanghai.

The other day I left my nook color unattended with some little cousins as they were playing some games. 5 minutes after I hear a "thunk" as plastic hit marble. I ran back my cousins and had seen my nook fortunately not cracked or damaged .. just a little dusty. I opened up google to look something up and tried to type in landscape mode. Didn't budge at all. I held the nook color home button and seen the last app used was settings. It was possible that my cousins changed some settings but everything seemed fine to me.

Is it possible my accelerometer is damaged? Or is it a settings issue?
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
Look in Settings/Cyanogen/Display and make sure that all four accelerometer settings are checked. Other than that (and rebooting), I've got nothing.

before you buy, check for dead or bright pixels, this phone has lots of them, my first 1 had 10, and the other phones had 2-3, and my final one had 1 at the bottom of the screen, didn't quite check it in details, but since it a cheap phone, i'll stick with it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PsymonDK:
Found one cheap in a store by accident today, so what was supposed to wait 1-2 weeks was bought today!

So far all i can say is that this is what the original mini pro should have been all along! The only negative things i can come up with is that the jack socket doesn't support HTC/iPhone headsets (there are quite alot of those, so alot of good ones) the jack seems to be some proprietary stuff again, the headphones that come with the phone are quite alot better than the ones with the x10 mini pro though.

The Keyboard is a little softer and got a slightly different layout (atleast the danish layout) than the x10 mini pro. Personally i liked the feedback from the x10, but i guess i just gotta get used to a softer keyboard.

Checked for dead pixels on mine, not a single one. So i'm happy.

Ask away if anyone got questions.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
I know this issue has been posted in forums for other devices, but I haven't seen anything about it for NC. I did try to search the NC forums but couldn't find anything that seemed to address this problem.

I am using MIUI 1.7.22. I have noticed significant battery drain due to Android OS (in battery stats), suspend (in the systempanel app), and event/o (also in systempanel). I have disabled auto-sync and any apps that appear to be likely culprits (those that might attempt to download data). This problem seems to appear with wifi on or off, and when on, I have tried both setting it to never turn off and to turn off when the screen is off. Initially I was experiencing battery drain due to cell standby, which I took care of by disabling the telephony provider, phone, and mms apks. I know many don't believe this has an effect, but I did it anyway. The cell standby drain is gone, but now I'm fighting the drain due to these other factors. Has anyone found a fix for this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
After scouting around for info, I have tried some suggestions seen elsewhere: rebooting and wiping dalvik cache. So far today I haven't had any Android OS, etc. issues. Standby life with screen off is as it should be (for now and hopefully forever)--very slow battery drain.

This is with wifi set to never shut off, which I prefer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Suspend etc. came back last night although not as extreme as before. Hopefully some other folks will have things to add to this thread. I will continue posting progress info as I learn more about this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
From the code.google.com forums:

Confirm heavy battery drain with enabled Location & Security -> Use wireless networks / Use GPS satellites. I've disable both options and now my battery life is normal.

With enabled "Location & Security" options battery eaten by "Android OS" process (about 40-55%).

I will try this and report back.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Disabling WIFI and GPS in location/security had no effect. There appears to be a google process that prevents the system from sleeping.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
I was still experiencing random battery drain due to Android OS, suspend, event/0 after switching to cm7. One suggestion I read was to disable calendar sync, as this appears to be a runaway process that attempts to connect to the server constantly without allowing the device to sleep. Doing this allowed me to get through the night with very little drain and the Android OS, etc. processes were finally behaving (within normal limits).

I'm not sure if anyone is reading this thread but I will continue to update until I figure out the solution, as I imagine this problem will become more noticeable to others who are equally frustrated with this issue.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
I had bad battery drain in the past and no deep sleep. but what worked for me was not to use any live wall paper. this fixed my deep sleep issues. for the battery drain, re-set your battery stats and re boot a couple of times for the stats to settle down. also check google map and latitude. in latitude just log out. un-checking sync in my yahoo email app also helped with my battery drain. my wifi is set at, off with screen. I went from 20 -30% drain in 7hrs to now 1-3% in 7hrs

I hope any of this info can help :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Thank you, boxcar. I had tried all of those things (froze live wallpaper, reset battery stats, reboot, froze maps and latitude) but the only thing that worked for me was unchecking the box for calendar sync. Email sync and wifi appear to be non-issues--no difference between off or on. Evidently this google calendar sync bug is a known issue (that very few people seem to know about!). I hope google will fix this soon.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrowliu123:
I also have same problem on my Galaxy S2. These two(events/0, suspend) drain many battery, 14% one night, without WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth.

I'll keep on tracing this issue, and share the result in this thread.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Turning off autosync seems to help the most (although setting WIFI to turn off when the screen turns off appears to help, as well). I tried using an autosync toggle but just turning it on at all seemed to result in a gradual creeping up of the Android OS, etc. problems. Manual sync of calendar and perhaps gmail and contacts seems to be the way to go. For some reason, exchange mail set to push results in no problems. The other trick I've found is to go to applications, then calendar and calendar storage, and force stop, delete cache, and THEN manual sync of calendar (reboot, recovery, wipe dalvik, fix permissions are good ideas, too). When I flash nightlies, I go through this process and the offending processes work as they should. If I don't, problems appear sooner or later.
