[Kindle Fire General] f1r0z3:
thanks for the Gmail contacts tip!!! :D now...

2) some apps not showing up on the market has something to do with the "lcd density" of the kindle fire screen. this is different from the resolution itself. the density can be changed without changing the resolution. since you have root already you won't have a problem using the density changer app. i forgot the name but its included in lots of CM7 roms so if you look through the forums you will be able to find it.

3) the latest version of go launcher has options for changing font size i believe. you can try changing the font size if you used ADWLauncher as well. but the "too large font" problem should be taken care of if you do that lcd density thing i mentioned above. i have never tried either of them but i have seen youtube videos where they do work...

Ever since GB OTA update typing on my phone has become more difficult using any keyboard. Especially in landscape mode the bottom of the screen (or left side if portrait along the edge) I find I usually have to click on the spacebar more than once and also noticed it while playing a game. Is it just me?

[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
Haven't noticed that. I've noticed it has better scrolling, doesn't have that bouncy annoying random scrolling like it did
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I am inclined to agree with drt. I very rarely had to correct swype before, but now some of the words I "spell" are just crazy wrong. If I swype "H-A-V-E" is will say I spelled HABIT. I figured it was just swype being dumb, but honestly, it had never been dumb like this.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
I have noticed that using smart keyboard pro, I'm getting the same problems. I have to hit the space many times, or..which is even worse, it will substitute a letter for me. I know I have fat fingers, but not that fat. It would be nice to be able to calibrate the touchscreen.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Portrait I don't have any issues.. seems to just be landscape. I use the AOSP Gingerbread Keyboard from the market but same on Swype and a couple others I installed and didn't like. Really annoying.. at least it isn't only me.

I have the same issues with thumb keyboard so I just changed the size of the space bar row so it'll be easier to hit

SuperCharged GingerVolt B-) R U?
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
I've noticed this with the Beta Swype KB with GingerVolt1.x. The problem wasn't there with the stock as I double checked that last time I re-flashed my phone to Stock GB. I was actually hoping to find a way to "Calibrate" the screen. No luck as of yet.

Anyone know how?

Adjust the settings for Speed VS Accuracy to higher accuracy. I found that helped the crazy misspellings quite a bit.

Today Google released source code for Android Ice Cream Sandwich

So will we see ICS ROM/CM9 for our beloved Atrix soon? :D
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
well... it was actually released yesterday... or the the day before... or something. As for if we'll see them "soon".... highly unlikely. If i had to guess.... maybe a month, but i'm not really sure. All i know is it won't be a 2-day thing.
[Atrix 4G General] saiftheboss7:
I was also saying about a month type thing :) I was just wondering will the developers of CM7 continue CM7 on they'd jump for the CM9?
[Atrix 4G General] santzia:
For my two cents the cm7 stable is working 100% so f i wouldn't mind if they dropped the cm7 development in favor of the cm9 build.

[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
hey guys just wondering a few things and hoped for some help.

im currently on cyanogenmod with hboot 0.80.0002 and s-off from xtc clip.:D

i gather that people are having a lot of problems trying to root the latest hboot and im just wondering

since i have s-off with xtc clip, if i updated my hboot to the current one would i be able to flash a custom recovery without root?

and if so could i then just restore my nandroid backup of cyanogenmod and still have root???

cant help but feel that im missing something from the updated hboot........:confused:

any help greatly appreciated seeing as i`ve been chewing this over for a while, because if i was wrong and couldnt get root id have to downgrade the hboot again and run unrevoked again :/ (lots of effort, done it already:()

so yeah, thanks in advance:cool:
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
First off, I would

STRONGLY

recommend you get this notion out of your head. There is nothing the updated HBoot gives you at all, except for the increased OS protection which you have disabled in any case using the XTC Clip.

Anyways, if you still want all the hassles for going for an updated HBoot, flash a Froyo RUU from Shipped ROMs. It will give you HBoot 1.01.000x, and will retain the S-OFF as well. But, it will format your device, remove Clockworkmod Recovery, and Root as well. To regain a custom recovery after that, you can follow this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15

(Follow method 2 - This will give you a custom recovery on the updated HBoot). Once you get the custom recovery installed, you should be able to restore your existing nandroid backup without issues. I would recommend installing the same version of Clockworkmod as you are having at the moment.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
+1 to that!!

There isn't any extra features to play with except more advanced security so there's really no point.

thanks!

ok thanks guys! i dunno why i thought id need it lol i just have that feeling :p oh well:cool: thanks again for the fast replys and i think ill stay where i am :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
I'm using my transformer at school and the school is providing wifi to its students. But there are apparently some odd restrictions associated with it. No app of mine is allowed to access the internet with the exception of browsers and also I'm not allowed to download anything (it just says "download unsuccesful" no matter what I download or from where). I've tried to look for a reson for this and I found out that it might be some firewall settings on the computer that is hosting the wifi, I also asked the school's IT guy and he said that it's likely to be the reason. But the thing is that all the people with computers and iPhones can use applications that use the internet with no problems at all. This makes me think that the wifi host regards me as dangerous or suspicious for some reason, and because it does allow computers and iPhones to use apps that access the internet and are allowed to download files, I think that it might be fixable. Perhaps there are some particular settings that make the wifi host's security to regard me as dangerous and doesn't allow my apps to go to the internet. So what do I have to do for my apps to be able to access the internet and to be able to download files? I really want to know this, because many of the useful apps require internet and by not using them I'm not taking the full advantage of the device. I should also mention that my tablet is running 3.2.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
But have you tried asking them about letting you use your "netbook" on their netbook. What's the worst they can do? say NO TABLETS ALLOWED? Because unless they know your exact MAC address, they probably won't be able to do anything about it. In my old school, I brought up that I would like to connect my windows mobile device to their network (when I was using it as an mp3 player) and they said sure (they had terrible firewalls which blocked most every site that was fun). Sometimes, the best kind of hackery is the social kind.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
What do you mean by that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] statsminister:
I guess his telling you to ask for permission to use your netbook on their network.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
Well first of all I'm using a tablet running android 3.2.1. And I'm kind of confused by your use of the word network, because I said that I can use the school's wifi network for students, but only to some extent, meaning that none of my apps with the exception of the browser are not allowed to access the internet e. g. android market, google translate don't work, they just say that they are unable to connect to the network or something similar. Also downloading any file from anywhere is not allowed, it says download unsuccessful. But iPhone user's apps work perfectly fine. From this I concluded that there must be something about my tablet that makes their security think my apps are dangerous and therefore blocks them, and that because there is no such problem on iOS, I thought that the might be something wrong with my end, and that it it fixable. And my question was what do I need to do to fiz this? I hope that clarifies my point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
yes, thanks, I was kinda in a hurry when I typed that
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nessonic:
Ask your school's IT department. Network configurations can be quite complex, and without knowledge of how or what they're blocking- it's hard for us to help. IT would know the issue better, or at least give the explanation as to why it isn't working. For instance, last year at my college nothing but computers were allowed to connect to the wifi. Such control can be done on the network side, and it may not be your tablet's fault.

Have you any friends with an Android device, or better yet android tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
I did ask the IT guy and he said that he has no control over the security settings, because it's a network across all of the schools in the city, not just the school in which I am.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
Hey, I've tried using dropbox at school and then it says "cache access denied", maybe that can somehow clarify my problem.

Have you set your settings/applications to allow unknown sources (ie is it ticked).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
That's only to allow installing apps not from the Market (sideloading). It has nothing to do with an app working or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
Haven't you ever heard of proxy and content filtering?

Schools often set up proxies to restrict certain sites and content from working on their networks. They do it for a variety of reason, including bandwidth conservation, content filtering, network security, etc.

More than likely, they have blocked anything that they deem unnecessary. That means that probably only port 80 is allowed (the http port), possibly a few others for https, pop3 and imap for email, etc.

However, if you're a more advanced user, you can probably bypass right past all of this stuff by setting up your own proxy, or using encapsulation (like nstx or icmptx) to bypass their proxy by encapsulating other services inside DNS or ICMP traffic which are usually allowed to bypass the proxy at school. Like I said though, these are advanced techniques and require you to research and set it up yourself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
No, I do not no anything about proxy or content filtering, but I remember when I was connecting to the wifi network of the school I was asked to configure the proxy settings by putting some ip address ( I presume that it is an ip adress because it looked like one) and writing 8080 in the port field. If I didn't configure it like that, the internet would simply not work. Could you please tell me where I could educate myself about bypassing proxies or is i a matter that would require a very long time to learn and a lot of prerequisite knowledge?

And by the way, are you sure that this could be done on a tablet? All of that fiddling around seems to require a considerable degree of control which android may lack, or would rooting give me that control?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
OK yeah you are going through a proxy then. The good news is, that because you have to configure it manually, they probably aren't using transparent proxy which can make it easier to bypass.

Getting nstx or icmptx working natively on Android should be possible in theory as both are lightweight and designed to work in Linux... perhaps it can be made into a module that can be activated/deactivated with a shell script, or added to a custom kernel.. obviously this would require a rooted tablet to accomplish.

The other required part of the equation is a computer accessible from the internet, which you can set up install a DNS server and nstx on.

If you manage to get it all working correctly, set your home IP address as your proxy instead of your schools proxy, and you should be able to get through. It should also work to let you access the web for free at places like Starbucks or at hotels where the web is normally routed to a site where you have to pay for web access.

Good luck!

That sounds awesome maybe you could make the app id buy it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
I found two apps on the android market : proxydroid and ssh tunnel, do you think they would help me to bypass the school's proxy?

And by the way, how legal is this business? I mean I doubt that the school would send be to jail for using google translate but I'm still curious.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
Legal issues are a potential problem, but its doubtful it would ever be a problem at school. Setting this up on your tablet certainly isn't illegal in itself, but if you're stealing wifi that you would otherwise have to pay for, you CAN get yourself in quite a bit of trouble if you get caught.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
Ok thanks, wifi network in the school is free for all students so I should be ok. But what about those apps I mentioned before?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
And how would I protect myself from geting caught and what is the likelyhood of me getting caught? Can they immediately notice it if someone's trying to bypass their firewall or not? I should point out that the it manager in our school knows quite little about the sexurity system or ao he told me when I asked him whether my problem is somehow connected to their security settings, but the network is not pwned by the school, it's owned by the city and it is present in many schools beside mine, so I think that they might take their security seriously. So basically what I am trying to say is that if I investigate this matter, come there and bypass the proxy so that the youtube app works, is it likely that I am going to get caught, and if yes then what are the ways of minimising the risk (please bear in mind that I have not experience in this)? I'm asking this because I think it's not a very good idea to just walk in and hack the network without any experience and expect that there is no possibility of getting caught.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
No neither of those apps are really the solution to your problem. There isn't currently an app for Android that will set up encapsulation like I'm talking about.

And yes, your IT manager at school "might" be able to catch you, but only if he's specifically looking for it. What this basically does is encapsulate your regular IP traffic inside DNS packets (or pings for the icmptx method), which are generally allowed to pass through firewalls and content filters. Basically, it is detectable if your network administrator is looking in the right place and knows his stuff. There would either look like a constant stream of DNS requests from a particular IP on the school network, or a constrant stream of ICMP traffic (pings) being sent out. However both ICMP and DNS are normal for any network, so its also equally possible that the administrator never notices that anything is wrong at all...

Some more sophisticated networks may employ transparent DNS or transparent proxy, which would make these efforts much harder. Transparent proxy is able to intercept any traffic and force it through the proxy at school, while transparent DNS is able to intercept DNS traffic and force it to use a specific DNS server regardless of settings on your tablet.

Like I said in the beginning though, these are really advanced networking tricks that certainly aren't easy to set up, even when all the components are readily available.. its possible they haven't even been attempted yet on an Android device. That said, it shouldn't be difficult to port either icmptx or nstx over to Android for somebody with the requisite programming skills.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norsul:
I see, so until someone makes an app that does, there's nothing I can do, since I lack programming knowledge and experience with linux. But thanks for the help anyways :-) .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hollywings:
Okay, to make it short, I've brought home a Samsung Infuse for testing. It's not even a day yet and it's showing one hell of a problem already. Firstly, I can't install the right drivers for it. I've used Kies and tried downloading every drivers I can find but no, the phone won't even connect as mass storage. I tried going into download mode by holding the volume keys and insert the usb cable but it only gets in download mode once every 20 tries or so, the other times it just boots right into the OS. In the rare cases of successful download mode, Odin won't recognize the phone. I used SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click and finally it said the phone is connected, but intructed me to install the right drivers. So I did exactly as it said but the whole process of reinstalling drivers just repeats. I put the cm7 and mosaic ROMs in the phone using wifi and flashed them, here I met another problem, the phone keeps getting into car mode. I disabled it, and the phone changed orientation although I tried disabling it back and forth. I'm raging at it here, does anybody know about these problems or should I throw the infuse at the seller's face?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
sounds like an issue with the usb port not the drivers.

try cleaning it, or you may need to send it to samsung for repair. if you dont want to do that then i'd make you an offer on it, but you might be insulted at what id pay for a "broken" device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] omnimanx1:
Something I ran in to as well, I ended up using the ports on the back of my PC.

Something else too ... I ended up using a Blackberry USB cable.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] goobieracing:
I couldn't get my infuse to transfer files to my computer but then I changed cords it worked so try that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fg3121212:
Yea not an issue with infuse but the USB port. My laptop connects to it if I use the secondary or tertiary USB ports.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
people read the whole post. his issue is not limited to computer connectivity. the phone goes into car mode on its own. car mode is triggered by a simple resistor in the car dock. different resistor values will put the phone in the different dock modes, Adam outler had a bunch on information on USB standards when he made his own captivate car mount. what is going on is most likely that a piece of semi conducive material is trapped in USB port on the phone or the port is otherwise damaged on the phone. there could also be some physical issue or calibration issue with the chip that controls the USB. I have seen similar issues on my own phone and seen atleast one post with issues identical to mine.

the seller sold it for a reason.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jiggyk:
It is still early days, but I thought I'd share this with all Android users on the HD2.

Like almost all members here, I flashed my HD2 to Android, now using a ROM on the SD, which takes up more battery power. Like almost all users, I too got battery draining issues. So I bought an original HTC 2300mAH battery, and.... no difference!

After installing a simple app called Battery Monitor (NOT Battery Monitor Widget), and changing the battery reading to volts within the app, I continued using the phone. The app showed, at the time of installing, 85% and the standard icon showed 43%. I disabled power saver and continued using the phone ignoring all battery warnings. The battery monitor showed 65%, when the standard icon showed 3% late in the night. I kept the phone on all night with syncing on, expecting the phone to switch off, but, in the morning, the standard icon showed 2% and Battery monitor, 58%.

My point being, the standard battery software clearly didn't read the extended battery's charge/discharge levels and probably needs to be recalibrated. Also, could it be that the standard batteries too are not being read correctly? I mean, we all may be thinking that the HD2 is a power hogger, which may not be the case.

I will be trying this experiment on the standard battery as well, and let all know on this.

jiggyk

Hit "Thanks" if you found the post useful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akaruna:
do the battery calibration. completely charge and keep phone charging, open termimal emulator and type:

$su rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

reboot phone, after completly reboots remove the batterystats.bin again and then unplug phone and allow to die out. recharge and it should start reading correctly... 100% is aprox 4.2+, use battery indicator to read battery levels and info.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ricola7:
Hey!

You do realize, that the difference between the android system battery level and the battery level provided by the app "battery monitor" is due to different minimum voltage levels?

The minimum voltage level where the system would shut down is around 3.600 mV.

The minimum voltage level of "battery monitor" on the other hand is 3.200 mV by presettings. (actually you can set the minimum voltage manually)

As a result, "battery monitor" lets you discharge the battery more which results in a longer time you can keep the device running.

I would be careful though, cause undercharging is very bad vor lithium batteries, meaning a decrease of the battery lifetime.

Take care,

Ric

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

At the time I wrote this, it was discharging and I was keeping an eye on the voltage. You're right, it completely discharged at around 3.66, and I set that as the minimum voltage.
