[HTC Amaze 4G] Bhambones:
i did that and when i reboot phone after rom installation it just goes back to bootloader
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Did you make a backup? If so restore it.

If you don't want to and want to continue to flash the rom, flash the kernel via easy kernel flasher twice while In bootloader. Then flash your rom in recovery, be sure to do a full wipe.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bhambones:
thank you. i flashed the kernal twice and then installed the rom. Everything is back to normal. Thank you. Will i have to flash the kernal twice before every new rom installation? If so, why is that? Thanks again. I really appreciate the support
[Focus General] kb87:
hey guys, Just got my self a samsung focus i917. I have a question though

I started the phone for the first time with out a memory card. No I have put a sandisk micro SD card but it is not getting recognised. I also did a hard 3 button reset but still the memory card is not recognised. Any ideas as to what I can do?

Also is the memory card recoverable?

And help appreciated.

Thanks.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
How much GB you see in Settings/About? If you see around 8 GB then most likely the card is faulty. Another reason you don't see the card is a faulty memory slot assembly.

I've build the Memory Card section in the Focus Wiki by reading the whole memory card thread so I can tell you that if a card isn't recognized it's most likely the card is damaged. But, it might not be, might just be totally incompatible.

Now, if it's not faulty, and the card is actually good (there are some chances), it should be okay as the phone didn't see it and thus didn't "lock" it.

To make sure, either format it in a Nokia Symbian phone (Series N or Series E - eg N9x: N95, N97 or E7x: E71 etc) that supports microSD memory cards or in a camera.
[Focus General] kb87:
I re-inserted the card and formatted my phone again and it worked! the GB has gone up accordingly. I guess the connection of the phone was not right. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I don't want any fancy stuff, just the STOCK 4.0.4 kernel with BLN. No BLD or voodoo or anything else.

So please could provide me one of you guys with the 4.0.4 Stock kernel with BLN?

I would be delighted if someone could help me!

Thanks a lot!!!
[HTC Desire S] hipwell:
Why does my phone keep entering car mode?

Im running a fresh install of cm9, but it did it when i was running cm7 and many other roms.

its pretty annoying, ive cleaned the micro usb connector which didnt help.

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Try to remember any accidents with your phone lately. I am pretty sure that's because your phone got wet for some moment. Mainly random entering car mode means that it sees incorectly the USB plug, your phone thinks that's you are trying to fit in there 12 volts.

I had just the same situation with my previous android phone - htc desire.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Well, nothing like a stroll through memory lane every once in a while.

To get things started here is an article talking about Siri useage. This is an interesting exact from the article:

"Making phone calls and sending text-messages are the most popular activities, according to the report, a sign that Siri usage is mirroring how people use their phones more generally. Roughly a third of 4S owners use Siri to place phone calls, send text messages, or look up information daily or almost daily."

In other words, people are using Siri to do what every Android and Windows phone does, and does quite well already.

Now to go back to this thread titled "Windows phone lost another to Siri".

So, let us face it... Android and Windows Phone have voice recognition software that can accomplish exactly what most people are using Siri to do right now. The rest is fluff. I know I went on record saying I can see why someone would want to say "Call John" but I cannot for the life of me see the point in some of the other "Knock Knock... Who is there?" things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
If everyone rode their bike straight from home, to work, and back home... we would never have learned backflips are possible.

Thank goodness for some fluff in life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
:D

Okay, let us run with the analogy. Why then are people in that thread somehow trying to paint the picture that backflips are an important and useful part of riding a bike?

If you read through that thread (you made some appearances in there) some people believed Siri was the greatest thing ever. Backflips certainly are not the greatest thing to happen to bike riding... ;)

I said it before and I will say it again, Siri as advertised is a gimmick.

Call ohgood = useful

Open program = useful

Interacting with your phone like it is your best buddy = slightly disturbing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I got this at least 3 times.

Continuing the analogy..

I asked 3 different people riding different coloured but the same bike "How did you end up spending so much money on your bike?"

The answer I got, though worded differently by each rider, can be summerized as "Because I can do backflips all the way to work and then also when I go back home, I do backflips after backflips".

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
the point that you guys don't see: People love to own stuffs that they don't even use them regularly. They just love to have them so if they need them (and probably never) they can use it. It is just a common thinking of people.

I know some people who just use phone for calling and texting only, and they have an Android Smartphone just to make some calls and send some message a day... And they are so proud of their phones because they have thousand of apps (i hardly ever see they use more than 3 apps) and ... fast...

It is just like money, some people really live to save up big money and hardly ever buy anything which is not necessary. It is just a good feeling when you have a lot of money in your pocket, same with the functions of siri.

Or just like me, who hardly ever have to drive around, feel terrible because my phone can't acquire the GPS signal to track down where i am . So you can't really blame people for that. lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I understand what you are saying and take your point. Just remember I am have no problem with people wanting something they are not going to use. My issue here is not with the average consumer, it is with the technically inclined people who defended Siri as something that would somehow change the way people interact with their phones.

So far touchscreens have changed the game times over what Siri has done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
No contest: Siri all the way.

I used a test phone at a best buy, and it picked up my voice saying "make me an appointment for Tuesday at 2pm". No problem at all.

I can barely get TellMe to properly display "are you coming home". Takes like 4 tries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
(i rarely go back and read old threads, so i'll trust there was fun stuff there)

of course, a lot of the usefulness will depend on the user and the commands given. user input will dictate just how useful any application is. backflips, triple backflips, or just a blind man getting to 'drive' to taco bell.

the creativity that is possible, or requests posed to the maker of the app may do something revolutionary. maybe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
It went on for 11 pages so you can bet it was a barrel of monkeys ;) It was more or less a debate about Siri with some people being skeptical (me), in the middle, or totally swimming in the koolaid river.

My fundamental problem with Siri being used as an effective method of interacting with a phone is the effort outweighs the action. I share this same skepticism with using a kinect + windows 8 as a method of navigation (a keyboad and mouse just is a better tool).

Anyway, it is clearly a user preference thing. Some people will make it useful and fit into their lives. I can't help but think Siri is Apple's way of sticking with a crappy static UI instead of going with a more dynamic one that can display more information on the home screen(s).
[Windows Phone 7 General] roach_779:
I don't know if this is still true, but the last time my sister and I compared her iPhone 4s to my WP7 is that hers can't read a messages and reply using hand free. I use tellme when I need as little or no hand interaction with my phone, like driving. If this is still true, this is where tell me trumps siri....reason my sister has WP7 envy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uptempo777:
Anyone use Ask Ziggy in the Marketplace yet? Supposed to be similar to Siri.
[Windows Phone 7 General] grimchicken402:
I use Tellme to send texts, and my friends (all of them, ha ha) have Siri. While we do the same things with them, I have noticed they have higher accuracy with the voice to text than I do. I've held an iphone side by side to my focus and said a message to both at the same time. Siri gets it right while my focus misses a few words. The added functionality of Siri doesn't matter a bit to me because I'd never use it, but when I try to send a message saying "yes ma'am" to my mom and Tellme decides to send "yes mammoth" it makes for a righteous laugh but also shows room for improvement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uptempo777:
Is TellMe a separate app than the one that is voice recognition built into the Messaging App?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
No, TellMe is the built in one.
[Windows Phone 7 General] range152:
reminds me of a time when my friends and i were comparing Siri and TellMe, neither could send a message properly without 4/5 tries. maybe the phone don't do asian accents too well XD

but recently it's gone a lot better on my phone, imo

it's slow and inaccurate, good fun though
[Windows Phone 7 General] houdini13:
I'm not a siri hater (I think it's really neat) but I can't stop laughing when Stern tries to use it on his radio show and it fails at EVERYTHING he tries. It must not understand his voice well or something. He hates the damn thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
The thing about TellMe, and Siri (I'm sure), is the tone of voice and sound matter. I speak quickly, so my device doesn't quite get what I say. But, when I'm a bit more sing-songy, it works much better. Let the tones move up and down with the words.

When saying "yes, ma'am" to my Lumia 800 right now, I got "yes maam" as what it captured. Not too bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
And it is a bad thing if you have to move away from your natural speaking manner in order to get what you need done. I believe there is a place for certain interactions, where these inputs are best suited.

A keyboard and a mouse is best suited to complete a majority of tasks on a personal computer as it is designed now.

Touch (and multitouch) inputs work best in a flat architecture where the user wants to expand a selection. For example a grid of icons on a screen where these icons take you to your final destination (launching a game). Touch inputs really fall down when you take several steps towards a destination, or have to drill down to get what you want, for example start -> documents -> tax returns 2012 -> open excel sheet.

This is how I feel about voice control. Too much work to complete certain functions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
I disagree in that how we speak absolutely matters. This technology is still pretty new. And the one variable is that few people speak the same way. How good are the softwares at recognizing how we 'mispronounce' things? Take the Siri "Rock God" commercial. The guy on HuffPo who was attempting to debunk the ad didn't use the same diction as the kid did.

The kid clearly stated Rock God. Two separate sounds. The first ending with the same consonant sound that the second begins with. The debunker actually glottalizes the phrase. He closes his gottis on the "ck", so never actually produces the consonant. This is covered by the fact that the second word begins with nearly the same sound as the first ends. So, he gives us "Rockod". This is two sounds combined into one with only a single consonant sound to separate them, when the correct speaking requires two hard sounds.

Also, inflection matters. Given that the English language is based on consonants and hard sounds to close our words, we overlook a lot of the tones/inflections that are always present. Speech recognition needs some of that, I think, to better understand what is being said.

Lastly, all of these types of conversations remind me of a book I read by Jonah Lehrer, called Proust was a Neuroscientist. He breaks down how many artists of their era and modality actually predated matching science. Gertrude Stein, for example, liked to break down language. He mentions her line "a rose is a rose is a rose". She's not talking about roses. She's making the sounds and reorganizing them:

"a rose is a rose is a rose"

"a rose isa rose is arose"

"a roses a rose..."

So, "isa" is a sound, but what does it mean? hehehe

Given the complexity of linguistics and speech recognition, and how quickly I speak, I'm willing to make concessions to help TellMe be more successful in correctly guessing my words. A little more use of tone and proper word start/stops go a long way.

Let's give the tech a few more generations before we start moaning about it. It's not Dragon, after all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] d.v:
I just downloaded it a few days ago. Initial tests were not terribly impressive. Maybe I just don't know how to ask it things the right way. Often it seems to get a few key words and just starts rambling incoherently. I need to spend more "quality time" with it before I decide whether to keep it or not.

What has your impression been?

Hello XDA community!

Some of you may dont need this, but Armenian unicode text is now working on Android OS!

The solution was in the DroidSansFallback.ttf font

So its was edited and tested on my Dell Streak and other Android devices

There will not be any issues with other things in the system

All other langages will continue to work normally

---------------------------------------------------

Things needed before you install:

1)Root Explorer (from the Market) You can use a different file explorer app, but it must be able to mount your system folder as read/write ---- [x-plore is free in market]

2)Your device MUST be rooted!!!

To install:

1)Download the droidsansfallback.zip file to your computer

2)Uncompress the file and move the droidsansfallback.ttf to your SDCard somewhere

3)Go /system/fonts with root explorer

4)Click "Mount R/W" at the top

5)Long-press on Droidsansfallback.ttf and click delete and then Yes to confirm

7)Navigate back to where you placed the droidsansfallback.ttf

8)Long-press on droidsansfallback.ttf and click "Move"

9)Go back to /system/fonts

10)Click "Paste" at the bottom

11)Restart your device

To test it, open some site thats have Armenian text [example www.ucom.am ]

I recently installed Blaze; while it is a very detailed Rom that shows an immense amount of time and hard work, I prefer a minimalist approach.

However, my question is I followed the instructions to the letter and still had bloatware installed! Am I missing something. I thought it stated it was Debloated?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
God it's so hard for me to hold my tongue...but I said I'd run it through the weekend and then give my opinion so i'm sticking to it.

Yeah, I noticed that too, but maybe the apps he left in place were those he felt most would get use out of....just cause you don't use "Movies" doesn't mean that I don't, for example.

[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
I have come to the conclusion that you sir are a condensing egotistical person.

Perhaps I could have been a bit more clear, but I do state that the Rom "is very detailed ", and "shows an immense amount of time and hard work "!

I just had a question pertaining to a potential issue that I have due to something I.. Me... Myself.. Might have done incorrectly.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Holy misunderstanding Batman!

When I said it's hard to hold my tongue, it's not necessarily that i'm holding back from reaming the guy on his rom, it's because what you said almost prompted me to give my opinion on it. Being that I just flashed it yesterday and said that I would run it through the weekend before forming one, your insight almost made me go back on my word. Reason being, I flashed v2 when it first came out and formed a quick opinion on it without even taking the time to set it up to my liking....I didn't want to do that this time around.

I wasn't trying to throw stones at him and am not going to throw them at you now, but rest assured that I will post my opinion no matter good or bad when the time comes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:

You are alright. A lot of people at times have attitudes (including myself). Don't hesitate to ask a question if you need to. Just make sure it's in the right section so it doesn't set somebody off. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Even if its in the wrong section, which its obvious, than people should ask nicely that it be moved. That's my opinion. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Hopefully next time ur in a similar situation you will get clarification before jumping to conclusions. I could see how you could misinterpret what I said but the reaction was a bit much even if I did mean it the way you interpreted. And you also might want to consider the irony and contradictary nature of your post before you click "post reply". Bashing someone for posting their opinion (or your assumed and misinterpreted opinion) with a post of your significantly more abrasive opinion seems quite the contradiction wouldn't you say? But no harm, no foul, apology accepted ;)
