[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senor_coconut:
USB not recognized... Please help!

Hi all,

I've spent the whole day searching google and reading xda but cannot find solutions.

Basically this used s5830 bought on ebay used has the following symptoms:

USB cable _only_ charges

Windows recognizes something more, but cannot see it as a Samsung android device (cannot allocate the installed USB drivers to the device)

I've tried with USB debugging on and off, with latest Kies installed, with Kies uninstalled and using the latest Samsung USB downloadable drivers.

I've tried also in download mode, via the minus and home key method.

It is never properly identified.

Thus i cannot use Odin, Superoneclick or anything like this, but worse is that I cannot even use it for USB file transfer to/from SD Card.

SD card is fine, new and formated, took a few pics just to test and it's ok (also on sd-usb it is fine).

Cable is an original U2 samsung official cable.

Hummm, what else...

Phone is not rooted, it is sim-unlocked but has <3> UK network proprietary animations at boot up and shutdown.

I've tried this on 2 different laptops and respective usb ports, where my i9001 works fine, so that can be ruled out as well.

I'm thinking of returning it for a refund, or is there anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance for your time!

I have the same problem... used the 'Format SD card' instruction - did not fix... Have you found any solution?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnoopKumar:
You need to install usb cable driver..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syedrakib:
Have you tried the solution I posted above? The cause of my problem was that I tried to format my SD card from the PC while the SD card was inside my phone and my phone was connected to the PC via USB data cable. Then i took the SD card out of the phone and formatted it directly from the PC via a generic card reader. After that i put the SD card back into the phone. Since then, i have always been getting the "USB Connected" notification in my phone whenever i plug in the phone to a computer.

Hi everyone,

while I'm customizing my O1, I wanted to change the font.

So googling around I've found and wanted to try the ubuntu font.

All went well with fontchanger and a reboot, but now I have a problem: in long app titles, for example, little rectangles are shown after the three dots, looking ugly.

Looking around xda I've found another user with the same problem, but no fix.

I have even changed manually the other Droidxxxxx font with the same from ubuntu, the one remaining are the droidhebrew and droidthai, but all still the same.

Can someone give me an hand? ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
I have that tried to and give up ... it doesnt matter what TTF you use, we

ends up with these ugly rectangles. maybe there is a TTF problem with pure android fonts and "windows/mac/linux" - fonts?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DnaPolymerase:
Happened to me to with the same font. I don't know why it happens.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] m4dbra1n:
It's really a pity because I like the look of this font on O1 :(

Thanks anyway, I will look around for a possible fix and if i find it I'll publish it here too ;)

Inviato dal mio LG-P500
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It's only a problem with some fonts. It all hapens because there are different types of fonts - for example Verdana and Tahoma are very often used in web pages and shouldn't display rectangles as they support almost all languages and characters, ALGERIAN and Pieces of Eight are design fonts and should display boxes in almost all occasions and Segoe UI and Ubuntu are interface fonts which means there should not be any problem with them.

I am currently using Segoe UI (Proprietary font, you can copy it from Windows Vista or 7 (or Windows 8 if you are a prerelease maniac)) and I have absolutely no squares or boxes or question marks - all because I am using only the default font. Not bold or semibold or italic, because the other ones give me boxes in rare occasions.

I'll try to find a fix for the Ubuntu font. I'll probably just search for a Ubuntu font where all boxes are replaced with emply spaces.

Edit: Just visited http://font.ubuntu.com and downloaded the fonts... applied the Light version (Ubuntu-L from the archive) and everything worked fine. It's maybe due to a version change or some other glitch... By the way, the standart Ubuntu font (Ubuntu-R) worked fine too. I've attached the fonts just in case you are too lazy to download the whole archive... Just remove the .docx extension.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] m4dbra1n:
Well Ianis G. Vasilev, I'm not so noob: I've downloaded the latest whole font archive (0.80) with all the fonts inside: Medium, Regular, Italic and so on... Then with Font Changer I've applied only Ubuntu-R(egular) to see how it could look. After reboot all seems to be ok, but when I've opened Titanium Backup I noticed the little rectangles in trunked names after the 3 dots. So I've manually set the other .ttf from the advanced section of Font Changer, then reboot, but nothing changed. For me it's strange that some characters are missing from the Ubuntu font, since it's used all over the world with its distro, so I decided to ask here.

Now I can only try other font, with displeasure since I really like the look of the Ubuntu font on O1. And yes, I'm not the only one as you can see some posts above and from some search on XDA...

I think I'm coming back to the 300 fonts thread and start to look for other nice font to use instead of the stock :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mondik:
Hi all,

this is my first post in xda-developers. Rectangle shape means, that operating system is trying to display some character, but there is no glyph shape defined for that character inside ttf file. In this case operating system displays glyph shape of .notdef glyph. And .notdef glyph is usually defined as empty rectangle.

Simple solution is to change .notdef glyph in ttf file, so it does not contain any shape. I've prepared two ubuntu font files for you - Ubuntu-Light.ttf and Ubuntu-Regular.ttf, because I've found these two most aesthetics replacement for stock android DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf

Just for record - both fonts are from ubuntu font pack version 0.80

Balano, try to restart the phone after installing flash, that seem to have helped me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Balano:
Worked, but still choppy at times it should not :D

But... I cant choose at what resolution youtube should play. The 240/360/480/720/1080p menu is gone :confused: I use Opera Mobile, since i cant choose useragent on stock browser.

Another problem, after playing a video, the screen turns off. :confused:

Testet with CNET news and youtube.

Impression: :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] ivan666:
Yeah, resolution menu problem is present in Opera for me as well. Actually it's still there and you can change the res, but it is invisible on the player bar??? :(

In the default browser it is working properly (you don't have to change useragent, at the bottom of the page m.youtube.com, there is a link to show desktop version of YT).

And I agree, Flash 11 went downhill :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
You can change the user agent of the stock browser: Type in about:debug (like an adress), then you have more settings.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazUK:
Hi all,

Tesco in the UK are selling the 7 inch Galaxy Tab for £149, down from £399, so had to buy one.

I'd like to root it but not sure if it is one of the rootable Tabs.

This is the information from About Device:

Model number: GT-P1000

Firmware version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 root@DELL101 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJP9

In the Mobile network type it says HSDPA

Is this Tab rootable, and if so, which method should I use, and which files do I need to download?

Many thanks

Gaz
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teffers:
Hi Gaz.

I managed to get one last night from tesco too.

Just rooted it using the method on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812367

Very easy.

Now I'm on the hunt for a decent custom rom, but need to install recovery first :s lol
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazUK:
Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you rooted it before updating the ROM to Gingerbread in kies. You would have been running the original Froyo ROM, which I believe the method above works for. I don't think it works with Gingerbread.

I don't want to install a custom ROM, just want more control for backing up, removing bloatware, etc.

Thanks

Gaz
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teffers:
You're right (sorry I had missed you had Gingerbread right out of the box). I rooted the stock Froyo version, then updated to Gingerbread via the Samsung Kies updater.

Then I re-reooted using the following:

http://www.review-ninja.com/2011/08/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-gingerbread.html

Very simple and works for GB ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazUK:
Thanks for the link. Nice to know it works. If it works on yours it should work on mine; I just wasn't sure which of Chainfire's kernels to download as he lists several here on XDA and none seemed to match my Tab. I'll give it a go.

Cheers

Gaz
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazUK:
That worked a treat.

Thanks for your help. Always safer to check before doing this as it would be embarrassing if I'd bricked a 1 day old Tab!

Great value at £149. Thank you Tesco! :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teffers:
Glad you're sorted :-)

Yeh kinda impossible to take it back for an exchange if you brick it, seems like the stock is well and truly gone now.

Are you sure that you will be able to do it?...

ya sure why not

i have already rooted and unrooted my phone but i just don't know how to install custom Roms i mean when i tried to install darky Rom it ended with signature verification failed that's it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Right. Now you are saying: darky. As mentioned in my previous post, in the giude there is notification: EACH of the custom ROM is delivered with DIFFERENT method of application. So, if you tried to flash DarkyROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091, of course you followed the step-by-step guide from linked in post #1 link: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/v10-2-final-what-are-you-waiting-for.4253/, or even better from http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/rom-darkyrom-v10-2-2-final-touchwiz-4.5124/ ?

And of course you have used Odin-flashable version of Ficeto's 10.2 Resurrection (10.2 RE) on the beginning, then installed and used DarkyROM Tool from Market...?

So, on which stage have you got this signature verification error?

Sorry, but repetition of the step-by-step guides included in above links is pointless, if you cannot read it there, you will not be able to read it here as well.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
Hi,

lately I stumbled upon two cases on some serbian android forum with users who dont have working accelerometers on android....any rom. While in windows it works.

I tried to helped them, but in any rom, freshly instaled it doesn't work. One user flashed windows via SD card method and then started installing android again from scrath (hspl, task29....) but it is the same.

Both users has regular europe leo.

In both cases the latest radio is installed, also magldr 1.13.

This is part of the logcat I found that has something related to sensors.

I know that akmd is responsible for sensors, so it probably dont have that specific hardware supported.

Any help or information to resolve this is apritiated. I will ask the users to provide any information from their phone, but that is mostly all I can do to help.

I found several post on XDA regarding this but without any answer.

By default, when you connect your phone as mass storage it displays /mnt/sdcard...

also making a soft-link using "ln" didn't work out...

Did you installed kies to have on your pc the latest samsung mobile drivers? (but dont forget to kill kies and not having it running in background if you planning to use Odin)

Im not 100% sure but the External SD only from cwm 4.1+ can be used, otherwise only usb mass storage (but i can be totally wrong here)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MS.:
ALWAYS do nandroid backup before doing ANYTHING to your phone. As mentioned above, make sure you have installed drivers, then from CWM you should be able to mount internal storage to PC. If by some reason that doesn't work, see if ODIN will recognize your connected phone, if yes, then flash any ROM from ODIN.
