Please plese please!

Samsung TTS reads XML in Google Navigation

Settings->Voice input and output->Text-to-speech settings->Default engine

The default is Pico TTS. That works fine. I changed the setting to Samsung TTS, because the voice is more pleasant. When giving directions in Google Navigation, the Samsung TTS reads the xml version first, before each spoken direction. Switching back to Pico TTS makes it go away. Of course, I suspect it's related to Android issue 12531:

The sleep of death is really starting to piss me off! It seems most common when trying to turn the screen on after receiving an email or other notification. Sometimes I can wait several minutes and try again and it wakes up just fine. I heard it could be WiFi related so I turned WiFi off but that didn't solve anything. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bigjim1488:
Mine has the display issue. It definitely is noticeable compared to my epic touch. I also noticed lag while switching between screens and windows. Something that is not present on the sprint version either. I may have to keep the sprint service. I was hoping to make the switch to tmo but i don't think i can get over those two flaws even though they are small ones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Not really into bumping this guys thread but.

Did you try freezing the bloat? The bloatware will lag up this phone. I have no lag after I froze those apps with titanium back up.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] madman_sle:
Out of sheer curiousity here...With the new leak having bootloaders and a proper GB kernel, would it be beneficial to start developing custom kernels with CWM recovery or do you think to much would change from this leak to the official? Would enough change to make development with the leaked kernel a waste of time?

And are the new bootloaders backwards compatible with the current custom kernels and roms we already have? Trying to get an idea of what we have here before I jump in and start flashing!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I'm not sure if the devs will jump on this just yet but it would be easier to just wait for official I'm sure, official GB is really close. As for backwards compatability, if you look through the thread , I'm pretty sure someone used the bootloaders on S7...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
No source code till the official release goes out . Cwm can be scripted in, supercurio used to do it for some sgs phones with lagfix and sometimes sound but what do toy really need cwm for? I mean of you are running the leak you probably know how to flash without cwm. Also there seems to be a wifi fox from entropy for the 2.3.3 Rogers kernels now so you may be able to run the leak with a kernel with many enhancements with only hdmi not working till sources drop.

Please, I need a simple help (simple for those who understand the subject).

I got an Xperia Arc LT15i, in a negotiation over the Internet.

Now, he's 3.0.1.A.0.145, but it does not have OTA update.

I ask, this is because he has unlocked bootloader?

How do I know if it's unlocked bootloader or not?

Where can I check this ?

Thanks to your attention.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmyepic:
I change my font after every rom flash back to Veggie Burger that I really like. After trying a couple of methods, this is the one that works for me.

I have 3 files saved to a folder on my sdcard labeled:

Clockopia.ttf

DroidSans-Bold.ttf

DroidSans.ttf

I copy these 3 files using Root Explorer and paste them in the /system/fonts folder and then reboot phone.

There are alot more .ttf files in this folder (not sure what they all do), but I have never had any problems with this method after flashing any rom (from EC05 to EH17).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
I do it the same way, except I saved the font folder from an old version of bonsai rom to my sd card to copy back whenever I switch roms.

But do I hae to delte the font already found in the system?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Yes.

If you use Custom Font Switcher from the Market, you can always choose whatever you want, and go back to the old Stock Font whenever you want though, without the worries of what needs to be replaced using root explorer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigd2442:
So I have bounced from Sense roms to trying the ocassional CM7 or AOSP rom for about 2 years now...

I REALLY want to go to either CM7, Xplod, or similar AOSP roms but cant figure out if there is a way around or a fix for a couple things that just really drive me crazy on the AOSP vs Sense roms...

Is there any way to import the sense version of... or any aftermarket alternative to:

#1- the dialer. Ive tried Dial One, and another (forget the name).. nothing comes close to the Sense dialer in my opinion. I HATE that the AOSP doest do the T9 thing that would let you quickly find a contact by hitting the number pad.

#2- the gallery. I really dont like the 3d gallery that ive gotten on the recent roms. The simplicity of the gallery that came on the older Sense (and the synergy roms) is A+ IMO.

#3- the voice recorder. Not sure whats up with this, maybe just a bug on the Xplod rom I was using, but it would let me record but not listen to previous recordings. Had to go through "movies" to listen after I found the saved recording in the SD card with root explorer. lol.

#4- The Camera... tried to use titanium backup to install sense (htc camera) on AOSP.. no dice. FC city :(

Although this is only 3 little apps.. its some of the things I use most and really hate the AOSP versions. ... really love the sense versions.

My current DD is Synergy with Myn's theme. I love... LOVE... the look of the rom but its a little slow, doesnt notufy with the LED, has very limited kernels, and bettery life is sub par IMO.

Im almost ready to go back to the Evio 2 1.8. That and Myn 2.2 are the top2 ive ever had on the evo. If I could get the good parts of sense on the AOSP id be all set! :o

Thanks for anyone who can offer any help!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SketchyStunts:
not sure on the 1st 3 but have you tried MIUI's camera? I know, its not sense but it seems to be the best IMO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigd2442:
thanks for the reply. I tried Miui, my biggest problem with that, is that it doesnt refocus with screen taps.

Im constantly chasing my kids arond trying to grab that "quick shot". The htc camera is awesome for this.

Hts video recorder also has a really good option to refocus WHILE recording, somthing I cant seem to find anywhere else with AOSP options.

I DO like the miuioption to touch anywhere on the screen for shutter though. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigd2442:
So for "#1", ive downloaded about 5 different dialer apps.. Go, Mydialer, Angel, Touchpal, and Ray...

One of those will hopefully hold me over. If there's any way to get the HTC dialer to AOSP that Ive missed, someone please correct me! ;)

Anyone know if the 3.5 Sense Gallery will work on AOSP?

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,

1.)Turnoff your phone

3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds

4.) put sd card back in and battery

5.) turn it on and see if you can download again

I'm running Humble 1.61 and all of a sudden about a third of the times I turn it on, it has a color tint of either blue or red. Every time I press the power button on and off and the tint is gone. If I don't put it to sleep and out again the tint stays. I hope it's not my screen going bad.

Do you have Chainfire 3D? because nightmode does that and if you do, then try digging around in the app's settings or uninstall the driver and app and reinstall it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] EggRoll53:
Would I need to do a full wipe if I wanted to go from EagleBlood to MIUI?

What about EagleBlood to Weapon G2X?

One more question (sorry I'm new lol)

If I went to MIUI how would I reenable the home screen animation of those colored lines going passed my screen? (and pressing on the screen would make another animation)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
Yes ull need to do full wipe, from miui to eagle or other. Same applies for all roms. You are not required to wipe for incremental updates, just dalvik n caches. You must wipe ehen switching rom.

Additionally, when you install miui you may enable the lines.going down (nexus) wallpaper from live wallpaper in settings.

If you fladh miui, i recommend faux cm .43 kernal it is the best.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
To add on to why nycelitemaster has already said, you need to format /system as well via CWM after you do the necessary wipes.

Very easy to flash new ROM's. Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Exactly as stated above.

Wipe before flashing. Check out Faux's CM7-based 4.3 SV rom also for better battery life.

I don't know the rules on cyanogenmod or other completely different roms, but there's a difference between wiping system and data. If the person who put your rom together did a good job, it should automatically wipe what it needs to wipe.

Hi all -

The 2012 Honda Civic has a built-in USB port, which is supposed to allow people to read files off flash drives/phones, and also provide a charging option for phones. When I plug mine in, though, it looks like it is constantly connecting/losing connection/reconnecting to a powered USB source, which makes me worry for my battery. The phone gets very hot, and the battery still will die if I use GPS. I have a cigarette lighter adapter which works fine in the meantime, but I'd much rather use the technology built in to the car.

I am using the original cable that came with my Droid3, and have also tried swapping it out. I brought it to the dealership where they ran some tests, and determined that the port is working properly. I have also tried it with music on a thumb drive and my wife's iPhone; both of those work like they are supposed to.

Has anyone else tried to use their Droid 3 in a 2012 Civic?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
How much current is the port supposed to supply? The dealer should be able to find a spec sheet or you could check the owner's manual. A computer USB port puts out up to 500mA which charges slowly compared to the about 1A that a wall charger puts out. Ive seen some aftermarket car radios that only supplied enough current for flash drives. It could be that there isn't enough current supplied to charge your Droid while running GPS.

[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
I've noticed that some micro-usb cables don't fit snuggly into the micro-usb port on the D3 and presumably other Moto phones. The Moto cable that I have has a few little bumps on the wider side of the plug which help it connect better. I've had issues with cables without the bumps not making a good connection and having intermittent charge.
