A lot of people like them. I don't know if it's for being OEM or what. I've had customers request to buy them all the time and they keep checking back weekly hoping for extra sets.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nugenrules:

The amazon ones are starting to work now, maybe they needed a little bit of lovin. Ill make up my mind soon...

[Galaxy S II General] mokkimhong:
Hi,

i think there might be some people who had just updated their SGS2 to the latest ICS might face same issue, so i started a thread here.

i will first illustrate what i encounter.

1. i have trying to sync my company email through SGS2 email app, through Microsoft Activesync option.

2. i key in the correct email address password, press on Micorsoft Activesync, the app will link me to key in domain info, email server info, SSL info, etc

3. sync option/setting and sync email/calendar/contacts by default, choose push method to sync.

4. click next and securities is enforced to my phone

5. now the sync is started.

sync of Contacts and Calendar works alright(i have not found any obvious problem so far)..

but i found problem in sync of email. the syncronization is slow(in both 3G and Wifi network). it always sync halfway(eg. choose to sync email for 1 day), and only have maybe 20 emails syncs and it will stop syncing. when press Refresh, it says "connection error(email name)".

i tried to send out email using this email app, it works...

this really puzzle me.. is it that i setup the email wrongly? or there is really some bug in this app??

Note: when i was using Gingerbread, the email app works perfectly, and sync using push method is almost the same pace as my laptop MS Outlook.

please dont flame on me. any suggestions/inputs/experience are welcome.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] toinktoink:
from what i have read in the past few days, its a known issue and i think there isn't a fix for it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] mokkimhong:
Thanks for you comment. Seems like not many people discuss about this. No new thread about this. Hence I open a new thread.

Anyone has similar experience or had no problem at all please fell free to comment.
[Galaxy S II General] omeryounos:
I had similar problem in sync. So I shifted to enhanced mail.it is way better than stock app. And works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Happens with Facebook notifications too. But indeed the Sammy app does actually sync properly when Gmail doesn't.
[Galaxy S II General] mokkimhong:
I think for my case, gmail app work flawlessly. It almost get the email Just after my mouse click.
[Galaxy S II General] gjvanzyl:
Hi mokkimhong

I'm having the same issue. It works perfectly on WIFI, but as soon as a switch to Cellular it stops working.

I have recreated the Account from scratch using Cellular connection, then it works for a few minutes/hours. Suddenly it will just stop with the same error you are getting.

After that I'm forced to used WIFI only. Very frustrating!!!

Anyone have a fix, please post.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] nalbi:
same thing here, even when i run ICS custom ROMs
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
there's already a thread about this, with more details on the problems and bugs. also for some users / exchange types, there seem to be some workarounds: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545986
[Galaxy S II General] etotheo:
Ya I was in that boat... Set my retrieval size to 100kb and changed my push settings to 5min intervals and all seems fine now. Not the best I know but a decent work-around until this is sorted out.
[Galaxy S II General] gjvanzyl:

Will go check it out!
[Galaxy S II General] jasiwalgaurav:
Sucked!!!

Hi,

I am also facing the same issues (same device and same os). Please tell some solution or better alternative free apps which i can use instead to ms active sync.

Advance Thanks :)...

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Hey guys,

There is solution for that active sync problem, just try setting "Size to retrieve emails = 100 kb". Its working for me :)...
[Galaxy S II General] aspot72:
hi guys, just realised this problem with my SGS II. Running on ICS 4.0.3 and push with full email retrieval isn't working on stock Gmail...

For now sync manually, however noticed that Calendar and Contacts are ok...
[Galaxy S II General] Alejandro Cukier:
I have had the same problem. I'm using ICS 4.0.3 in a Samsung Galaxy 2

Since I'm updated to ICS, I've lost my corporate mails (gmail worked fine).

I've deleted and re-created my account several times. Yesterday, I realized that one more day had been added to my email's list. Current setup established 2 weeks sync and my retrieval size to 100kb

What I did was to set my retrieval size to Total and reduce the sync to only three days. Ta daaaaaaaaaaa. It has been working for two complete days now.

Hope this helps

how important is the SDK for you in general? If the windows SDk was bad, would you develop application for another mOS?

Do you think the SDK has an impact on the quality of you apps? Does it has an impact on your performance as a developer?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
You need the SDK to develop on the phone. How important it is is kind of irrelevant since your motivation on developing on the platform tends to have little to do with the SDK.

Blackberry has one of the worst SDKs but if it became an insanely popular platform we would be developing for it, despite the SDK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fed44:
I have to disagree completely, especially if you consider how corporations would act. Many companies have to consider the tradeoff between the profits that are to be made, how it will affect the viewpoint of the Company and the cost of developing an application. If Blackberry has a very bad SDK and therefore the costs of developing an application are a lot higher and the resulting applications will cause negative remarks of the company, because of bad quality, then no Company in their right mind will consider making an application for Blackberry. If on the other Hand a Company says the SDK for Windows phone is very good, and therefore they can cheaply make a good application, it will very quickly cover it's own costs, improve the supported platform and have a positive effect on their public representation.

From a Hobbyist Point of view a good SDK will attract especially beginner developers but will also cause existing developers to spread a good word on the product.

From an end user perspective a good SDK will result in cheaper applications that will on average have a better quality, thus offering a better user experience and all in all a happier user who will recommend that platform to other users, thus increasing the size of the platform, attracting new developers, who further attract more customers, ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
That's all well an good but in reality that's not how it works. Very few companies make their own apps, they come to places like ours to get it done for them.

They don't care about how difficult it is to make, that's what they pay us for. If they want an app we create an app simple as that. We used to make BB software, now android and iphone are all the rage.

To give you an example windows phone 7 has one is the best sdks out there but no one is asking for windows phone apps (or windows 8 for that matter). It's irrelevant, if a company wants an app done they target the one with the biggest base and largest set of customers wanting to pay for said app. Hence iphone. Once the market share for WP grows it will attract more companies.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fed44:
Yes, but you would for instance charge more for an app written in c++ and win32 for the simple reason that it costs you more time to write it. The more expensive an application is to make the less likely it would be for it to make itself profit. A larger market share is another but not the only factor of Profit. Windows Phone currently has a very small market share, thus often making it uninteresting because redeeming the costs is more difficult. Yet Windows Phone has still managed to attract a huge amount of developers, infact it managed to reach the 50000 app mark in less time than iOs did even though it was basically the last to enter the game thus meaning it had the most competition to deal with and it's user base is/was quite small.

if i do it manually. do i hv to change the name akshar.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf or jus move it to /system/fonts?

i am already using a droidsansfallback.ttf which supports regional languages like tamil,hindi. but the font rendering is not perfect. not sure if this the same one or different
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
Rename to droidsansfallback.ttf. Check file sizes in phone explorer. Alternatively, copy droidsansfallback.ttf from /system/fonts to your micro SD card using any root explorer and then connect to PC as drive. Open file in win or Linux PC and compare with my file.

[Android General] TekkenLaw:
Don't know if you are aware of this, but the issue of Indian languages support on Android is not as simple as replacing the 'fallback' font file. Doing this will result in only partial support for Indic languages like Hindi..the text will be seen (instead of square blocks seen earlier), but it appears corrupted. All conjugations are incorrectly represented..so though, with some effort, you might be able to make sense of it, it is not the way it should be.

The basic problem lies in lack of complex text rendering engine required for this to work correctly..unfortunately this engine was not included in Android till ICS. There is no easy solution to retrofit this into GB or earlier ROMs. If you are fortunate to have ICS (4.0.3+) devices, you should be able to read languages like Hindi, Marathi & Tamil & also to add support for other languages by replacing/changing some files.
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
What you have said sounds like a Microsoft help callout: technically correct, yet perfectly useless. I only wish that you had only tried akshar.ttf before posting a reply. It has been developed by CDAC, and is wholly ASCII compliant for displaying Hindi, Marathi and Tamil with the full litany of inflections, half-words, dipthongs and matras. Rendering is needed only to scale up or down the font-size, and the language script is left-to-right, so RTL code script for complex languages is not needed either. Please learn a lot before posting to reveal your ignorance.

help needed on HTC one X

Hi ,

I went thru yr posts and they seem to be of use.. but unfortunately not for someone like me who is very new to android. Just last week I bought HTC one X which has latest android ICS. I was under the impression that it would show the kannada fonts seamlessly as the earlier version of android in Galaxy S2 just worked fine. You can read kannada fonts on browsers without any problem on Galaxy S2. But to my surprise that doesnt happen on my HTC one X which is supposed to be the latest version. All I can see on net is, I have to root the phone and copy the fonts.. but I also read that rooting will void the warranty, so I don know if thats risky. on top of it, I am not sure how to root my HTC one X and how safe it is. Can someone help me pls ??? All I want is to read kannada fonts on my phone and nothing else. PLS PLS HELP !
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
You have answered your own question. The point is this: how important is warranty to you, and how eager/desperate are you to see Kannada on your phone?

IMHO, warranty is like virginity in women; a brand of ownership and virtue imposed on them by a chauvinistic society. Nowadays, you see college, hell even schoolgirls get rid of their 'virginity' tag in the fastest and most pleasurable way as soon as they nab a guy.

Your choice.....??
[Android General] anmys:
Got it working, but ...

Thanks for the neat guide. I replaced the fallback font with the unicode version. My interest is in kannada fonts. I could see the pages, but the conjunctions are not correct. I will try posting a screenshot. For reference, my phone is an LG O1P500 and running CM 7.2 (latest nightly).

Regards.
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
@anmys,

Glad my post could help you. I'm afraid me Kannada gothilla, so any wrong grammar or conjunctions I cannot catch. Like I said in the OP, I don't take credit for the font files, nor can I vouch for the accuracy in fonts and dialects I can't understand. If you find a better font file for Kannada or any other Indic language, feel free to post here and share with the community.
[Android General] nagabushan.c:
Even I'm also desperate to see kannada rendering n behind this complex script rendering issue from many months, CM 7 nor CM 9 versions still not supported. All we can only do is replacing DroidSansfallback.ttf with ROJanakannada.ttf font. This font is better than any other. I dont have option to upload the font, but anyone willing to see kannada nicely can Google the font name n download n can use. Kindly let me know if u come across solution to rendering Indian languages on GB version including CM Roms.

Stock upgrades for LG, SAMSUNG models will render correctly but problem for rooted devices n custom Roms like CM
[Android General] n1newbie:
@ragapa97. hi buddy. hope you are doing good :)

last week i used my frnd's SAMSUNG GALAXY Y PRO DUOS. in which i could perfectly read tamil fonts as lyk in windows. and the phone is running stock 2.3.6 . nw my ques is : If we can get that droidsansfallback.ttf from that model, will we be able to get perfect rendering in all other models :rolleyes:
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
Use a file browser like es file explorer (available free on play store). Navigate to root folder for /system/fonts. See the font files there. Multi select any Indian font file you see (use your maaloom) and copy paste to SD card. Zip & post here and I'll see if it is a better alternative. In my wife's Sony, the Indian font is not in droidsansfallback but in droidindia.ttf, so you need to look well. Transfer the copied files from SD card to a windows / linux pc and see in font viewer to be sure. Share here if you care for the community. All the best.

[Android General] nagabushan.c:
I dont think replacing or renaming ttf files to DroisSansFallback will work. As a work around u can do that, but conjunctions will not be supported. On ICS, With same kind of hack some applications like Facebook will work with rendering up to an extent. I have been using DroidIndia.ttf (replaced with fallback ) which contains many Indian languages, would work without conjunction. Since i love to read kannada articles, some how able to read them.

If CM9 / ICS versions are available for your device try replacing DroidIndia.ttf with DroidSans.ttf and u would be able to read atleast Facebook comments and post with any Indian languages. For system wide support, you have to wait for Google itself to provide solution.

Have attached some screenshots which i have taken in CM9 ROM.

Read the literacy profile of India (hint- use Google). You'll see that more than 70% of Indians are not conversant in spoken & written English as well as colloquial useage of the English idiom.

Its not about having only English language. We are expecting versatile from Android to support native languages, to support localization.

Example, to open kn.Wikipedia.com website in mobile , Android should support by its own. When u see square boxes instead of showing correct font that is intended to display. samsung and some other mobile manufacturers have fixed this problem from their released few firmware upgrades.

We are just trying work around for our custom ROMs

Why do you want to rename the folder? The dot before a filename or folder name renders it "hidden" under linux/android, so you need to enable "show hidden files & folders" under es file explorer settings. Then you'll be able to delete it.

I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf on my android 4.0.4 ROM-Blackout V2.I am using HTC DHD

Marathi fonts are seen in the Facebook posts but in weird way (दिन seen as दनी , स्वामी seen as सवामी etc.)

Please help
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
Bad move IMHO. ICS android 4.04 has built-in devnagri support. I'd advise you to revert to the stock droidsansfallback font in your blackout ICS ROM. If the rendering is not good, replace dtoidsansfallback.TTF with the font set from stock HTC DHD ROM or Cyanogen Mod 10 ROM. Come back if you're still not satisfied with the devnagri rendering.
