[HTC One X] oberbapti:
Hey guys,

I know this problem has been posted several times, but since there's no solution yet, I wanted to try it again.

The problem is, that every HTML-Email is displayed way too big in the HTC mail app.

I've tried to change the size-setting to "small" but that didn't work.

Please, Please help me. :crying:

This bug is so annoying, that I even thought of bringing the HOX back and using my old Desire HD again.

Greetings,

oberbapti
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Just out of Curiosity is the e-mail account you've linked to it a Hotmail account?

As I'm sure this is a hotmail related issue, because I've seen it asked alot, and many people say it only happens with a Hotmail account.

If it is a hotmail account, perhaps you could log into hotmail from a pc, and try to change your font sizes their etc, then see if that in turn funnels down to your HTC Hotmail ?

I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE !!
[HTC One X] oberbapti:
Thank you for your reply. No it's a gmail-account. I got a gmx.net-account too, so this problem

is not account related. I hope there's a solution. :(
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I spoke to somebody from HTC and they are completely denying the problem.

I pointed them to one of the hundreds of reports of this on google and here etc, and he said there was nothing they could do.
[HTC One X] Quiksilver78:
There is thread somewhere with a zip file with smaller fonts for the HTC One X.

I, too, think that the fonts on this phone are way too big; however, this is a Sense thing because when used with an AOSP/AOKP/CM10 ROM, the font size is just fine.
[HTC One X] jjafelice:
I though it was just me...

but i can confirm it also happens when connecting to exchange 2010 email

[HTC One X] oberbapti:
I thought so...

Hey guys, thanks for your help =)

I thought that HTC would deny the problem as they always do. Maybe I can reach someone at HTC elevate.

@Quiksilver78, can you tell me where to find the .zip file? Thank you :good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Sean_Seany:
Anyone else get the Email from Google ? First promotional Email ever received from them to be honest.

Do they compensate the devs , Lets say someone sells a game for $/£ 5.00 and they sell it cheap , surely thats a bit unfair to the dev as they are not guaranteed to make a profit like that ( the dev , not Google obviously as they will recuperate the sales).
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] DigitalMD:
Google had a similar sale last year. Lots of apps for 25 cents.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Whitesands:
I wonder too.. there should be a ToS hidden somewhere in Play Store :S

Not sure if Google pays devs their original value, but there's an excuse not to bail either since.... their apps will get a boost in "Top Paid Apps" ^^
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] am05mhz:
the discount only applied for top apps, and since those are paid apps, they are already on the top paid apps list, so the boost in top paid apps means nothing, I think Google subsidies them.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
I bought a couple of those. Smart tools and Sketchbook pro. Not bad for fifty four cents. :)

I always buy something during the sales.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Digi59404:
I just got done buying an HTC One X to find out that it is locked and theres no exploit to unlock 2.20 which in short makes me sad.

If I were to purchase a Galaxy S3 today would I have trouble with rom/modding?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cjsspape:
No, easy like Sunday mornin' ;)

Awesome thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Hi XDA's !

I made a quite simple, small and free app that will help you to fix the recent showed USSD/MMI vulnerability which affects many android devices.

For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-0B04HPhs

Most Samsung phones are fixed to data wipe (there's not reported MMI command for HTCs), but still MANY Android devices are vulnerable to MMI commands including PIN code change ones, that can block your SIM card, after executing MMI command for PIN change more than 10 times with wrong PIN (for example malicious URL with 10 frames with PIN change instruction).

Please follow the installation instructions below:

1. Check if your phone is vulnerable - open your mobile browser and navigate to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)

2. If your phone is vulnerable you will see your IMEI number displayed.

This means that service MMI commands can be executed on your phone, when you visit a malicious web page. The MMI commands are service commands, and if you see the IMEI it doesn't mean that your phone is vulnerable to the Samsungs data wipe vulnerability. BUT an attacker can still block your SIM card issuing a MMI string to change your PIN code more than 10 times. Finally your SIM card will be blocked.

3. If DON'T see the IMEI number, you are safe and you don't need this app :)

4. If you see a popup with your IMEI number, then install this app from Google Play (click on install button on the the left).

5. Once you install the app navigate again to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)

6. Your phone will ask you how to complete the action. Choose USSDFix and mark it as default for this action.

7. You will see a notification that your phone tries to open a page that contains a USSD call and will block it.

8. Your phone is safe now !

* No background processes

* No services in memory

* No ads

* Hidden launcher

Use this barcode to test your phone:

NOTE: The app uses a hidden launcher and will not appear in the list of the other apps on your phone desktop. If you want to remove the program, please navigate to Settings / Manage Applications and then remove "USSDfix" app.

The app is available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.ussdfix
[Android Apps and Games] hsz#:
How do you check if number is USSD ?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
First it handles calls from browser like "tel:", then it checks for * and %23 (#) in the dialed string.
[Android Apps and Games] tomer1981:
Are the HTC's vulnerable too? and the Sense 4?
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Unfortunately some HTC's are. You can test yours using the URL provided in the thread (or using the barcode scanner).
[Android Apps and Games] tomer1981:
Tested the vulnerability with stock browser and dolphin on sense 4.1. Both times I got to see my IMEI.

Installed patch app, and now it works. Very clever how you did this. Thanks !!

Is anyone brave enough to test this on a real-wiping-all-the-data link?
[Android Apps and Games] qandrav:
thanks a lot I have a zte gingerbread and I cannot update to jellybean so my phone is vulnerable...I've found a similar app on market but it's incompatible, yours is totally good for my phone!!!thank you!

as soon as you publish on play store I'l give you 5 stars obviously!!!

I have no time right now, maybe in the we can be funny to try !!!!
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Checked!! So, installed!! Did process!! But in the bottom of my heart, i don't know why i did that :-/ anyone bother to explain it to me?

Sent from Hell!!
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thank you qandrav ! It's posted there, but still waits approval.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
The problem is that if you open a malicious URL in your browser, the browser can send a USSD command tothe dialer to factory reset your phone.

I hope that they will fix this soon, but if you are vulnerable and cannot update your phone you are at risk.
[Android Apps and Games] ganeshp:
well my sensation is a culprit of it too ..unfortunately :(

i tested the app and its working perfectly well :D ...so SENSATION USERS GO AHEAD AND USE THIS APP :D

BTW voted for PORTAL .... lot of people should know this vulnerability and the fix for it :D

and i request other users of this app to vote for portal (click the "Newsworthy Thread" present at top right corner of the thread title )

Edit: Btw I used the vulnerability of the xda app to thank you.. As I'm out of thanks for today lol :D
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Even after using your app, when i choose phone instead of your app as default app, it shows imei pop up. any possible fix for that?

Sent from Hell!!
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Hehe, yes, it's normal - see installation instructions - you should choose the USSDfix as default for this activity (since there's no official patch of the dialer).
[Android Apps and Games] ganeshp:
see at the end you should kinda prevent browser to give control of using phone ...thats what this app does ..its like a firewall ..which checks the code before giving the command to the phone ..if you bypass the firewall itself ..how can you expect it to prevent using phone

its like you bought an anti-virus for your PC ...installed it ..but then DISABLED it ..and claiming it not working :D

get the point now ?
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Okay.. i think i got it man.. thanks for the help. :)

Sent from Hell!!
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Thanks man !
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
The app is on Google Play now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.ussdfix

[Android Apps and Games] robogoflow:
I was told samsung fixed this in jelly bean. Are we suppose to see a 10 digit combination code or the phone app with *6%+ to be vulnerable?
[Android Apps and Games] dragon-son:
T-Mobile G2 device was showing. Installed fix. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ArcticFish:
Can't thank you enough

Sent from my SGH-T989 with Unicorn Power
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Yes, in Jelly Bean you will see the USSD code, but the dialer will not exeecute it. So you are safe.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Seems that Jelly Beans are fixed, but still there are many others ... :(
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Post thread updated with more info on SIM card blocking vulnerability executed with MMI commands (see the bold paragraphs in first post of this thread).
[Android Apps and Games] noodles2224:
I went to the site to test but it just opens the dialer and doesnt show imei. And supposedly it should on stock rooted 4.0.4 gs2 tmobile
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
If you don't see the IMEI then the MMI command is not executed and you are safe.
[Android Apps and Games] azam426:
I saw another App from Bitdefender " USSD Wipe Stopper " in market, I think that also Doing the same.

I tried ur USSD Vulnerability Fix, Working flawlessly..
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
Should be similar though :)
[Android Apps and Games] neuropsychosis:
Genius. No not the apple kind.
[Android Apps and Games] robogoflow:
See. Its times like this that makes me love the nexus s and all nexus lines.
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Thanks for the awesome app -- I installed and it works great!
[Android Apps and Games] robogoflow:
I don't want to draw people away from your app but there is another popular app that fixes this issue and others.

Also S3 users can check for OTA update that samsung released 4 days ago to patch this.
[Android Apps and Games] pandata000:
It's OK robogoflow ! It's good to have a choice :)

Yes, the best fix is the vendor patch (not putting additional apps, just to ensure that your phone works how it's supposed to work).

But this vulnerability is not just about the data wipe flow found in Samsung. It seems that many people with old phones will never receive the MMI/USSD fix (including HTCs). There are PIN change MMI commands that can block your SIM card if executed more than 10 times with wrong PIN code (for example page with 10 frames that are silently trying to change your PIN with a MMI command). The whole idea of executing MMI/USSD commands from web page directly sucks.

So, I think that the app is and will be useful about all those that will never receive an update from their vendors.

About the other popular app - if you have NoTelURL in mind, well I think mine have some advantages over it:.

- NoTelURL blocks ALL "tel:" references from browser (e.g. if you still want to dial a valid number from a web page it will block it silently), which is not the case with mine - it blocks only USSD/MMI commands.

- mine will show you an alert when you reach such page (which is not the case with NoTelURL). I prefer to know when someone makes nasty things.

- mine is VERY light (11k vs 152k of NoTelURL). For older phones that cannot be patched otherwise it matters.

- NoTelURL has a launcher icon that does nothing (just occupies my phone desktop for nothing). Mine has a hidden launcher and you'll never notice you have it installed (except from Settings/Manage Applications).
[Android Apps and Games] expl0de:
Very nice app, it will protect my phone till official JB is done for GS2. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
i went to the test site and i did not see my IMEI but the dialer popped up with the command to retrieve the IMEI (*#06#) shown on the dial screen....what does that mean?
[Android Apps and Games] rirozizo:
it means that you are so rich, you got a phone with Jelly Bean...

or rooted it and flashed a JB ROM...
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
i am on stock 4.0.4 GB rooted ......so what does that mean again?

am i ok or should i install the app?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rirozizo:
you are ok... you don't need the app

it'll be available tommorrow, and yes it will help with development.

FYI - wrong forum dude
[Asus Transformer TF700] GDHussak:
Don't post much, okay, maybe never, maybe it's because people seem to love to be jerks around these parts

Common sense would seem to dictate that a question about the development of a custom ROM would fit in the...wait for it...DEVELOPMENT forum. You know, because the release of open source code for developers as it relates to development would fit in the development forum. Just saying.

</endrant>

<begincontrition>

So prior to posting, I decided to read the Announcements post (http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=1665). Apparently, I'm wrong.

"Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title)- For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs, Kernels, and mods."

Ugh, I hate being wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
Yeah it helps to read the forums rules first. I still don't understand why this dev forum allows probationary users to post in it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SiriusDoggy:
Kind of ironic that you followed this statement with sort of a "jerk" post about us newbs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Well not everyone who's writing helpful things in the dev section is a dev or a recognized contributor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SayWhat10:
Lol what is a probationary user?
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
probationary = less than 10 useful posts. it was implemented a while back to keep noobs from posting in the dev sections, although the rule doesn't seem to have been applied to this sub-forum. i imagine they did a blanket apply and any new forums created since then don't have it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ford12acing:
i assumed that since it was a question about future development, it would be reasonable to post it here. geez, sorry
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pete7ate:
Excellent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Divine_Madcat:
Moved to the correct board....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
To move to the topic at hand... Yes, I believe the release of JB will boost custom development. Source? I don't know, just a gut feeling. They will strip down the TF700 JB and work from there, compared to porting to JB from another model.

[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Hi there!!

I don't know if this is a know thing anyway, on the right of the HTC logo there is the proximity sensor that shut down the display during a call. When it's on a you can see a red light from it. It should be turned on only during call. In the last days I have noted that the light remain always on even if I'm not doing a call. It turns off only if I taskiller all the process, but this stand only for 40 second as after this period of time the light reactivate itself again ( probably because some proces automatically restarts ) what can I do?? Is there somebody else who he's experiencing this too??
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Do you have any apps for brightness management? I've experienced the same before and it was due to such app.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
no..I use no app for that...
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Have you tried to make another phone call and see if it switches off after hang up? Maybe in the last call it hasn't switched off for whatever reason/bug.
[HTC One S] boardlord:
I noticed this, but after some digging I found out that Viber is causing this:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=80972874
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Already tried and not worked

Thanks you very much!! You are right, it's viber, I have manually closed it and it stop doing that!!:good:
[HTC One S] SylverPT:
THANK YOU, this was driving me insane and I couldn't find anything on it
[HTC One S] evangeloschr:
Yes, viber is the problem. Thank you guys for the info!
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
An updated version of viber is now out with fixed proximity sensor controller..no more bug
[HTC One S] kadison:
Good to see you've found the cause.

I also noticed this behaviour if you made a call and switched staight to loudspeaker without putting the phone to your ear. When the call was finished the sensor would remain active requiring a reboot of the phone to turn it off.

Seems to have been fixed with the 4.0.4 update :)
[HTC One S] TheForumTroll:
Same thing happened to me, except I don't have viber. Reboot fixed it.
[HTC One S] Bowmanspeer:
I don't have viber and even after reboot, wipe cache/dalvic it still glows. HTC One S with Axiom ROM. this just started in the last week. I haven't downloaded any new apps though several have updated but I couldn't tell you which ones now. Trying to disable everything I can think of that would use the proximity sensor to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC One S] Snapperjacker:
This happens to me whenever I'm using bluetooth, but what works for me is this:

Download "Proximity Sensor Finder" from the play store, open it up and wave your hand over the proximity sensor. Close the program and the red light goes away. It's faster that doing a reboot. This works for me and hopefully it works for others as well.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
My problem was related with a bug inside viber, the app has been updated and the sensor start working good again
[HTC One S] bb2htc:
I am facing the exact same scenario. I have never installed Viber on my phone.
[HTC One S] bb2htc:
Does the issue get resolved after the JB update?
[HTC One S] Bowmanspeer:
This is what I used and haven't had a problem since.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
you could also try to install taskiller and kill everything, if the sensor stop being on it's related to a process that keep it active if not it's probably and hardware issue
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
Since we're talking about the proximity sensor, it shouldn't stay on during a call when the screen is manually turned off. On the Galaxy Note II the sensor turns off.
[HTC One S] benly52:
Having your vibration setting activated caused the proximity light to stay on.

Dear developers in this forum,

My tab was really in bad condition now and i have no idea how to fix it. i had searched across every thread to find the solution, but there is no method work for my case.

Its suddenly reboot and stuck at logo glalaxy tab 7.7 and keep reboot itself.

I tried to flash several rom via CWM, but all stuck at boot animation. I cannot flash new firmware via ODIN as my usb port got problem, plug it in any computer only get message usb not recognize even i sure drivers was alr installed in that computer ( someone said my usb port was damage).

what i can do now is enter CWM (version 5.2), wipe all data/factory reset, wipe cache, but cannot wipe dalvik (nothing happen when i selected it). I also can flash zip file via CWM.
