I also bought Venue 8 Pro and find this also the only isue. I was googling a lot and it seems Microsoft requires minimum 1440x1080 resolution for 140% scaling in Windows 8. There is no way or hack for now that can go around this isue:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465362.aspx

Even those hacks with register to make Windows 8 think screen is smaller wouldnt work, because the isue here is resolution not screen size that that hack changes!

Damm Microsoft, why allow tablet makers to use 1280x800 on 8" if you dont support it well!

I Will survive for now, i have good eyes and at least Metro IE browser has its own setting for making at least browsing larger.

This should be a high priority isue, Microsoft is going big with 8" tablets and all the cheap ones Will have 1280x800....

P.S.: 8" Windows 8 tablet still ROCKS. But if possible go buy one with higher resolution(doesnt existt for now).

Edit: I just recalculated the scaling. 1080 height would not help at all, because it is exactly 40% more pixels than 768... So i gues only Microsoft can change this for 8" tablets. Either by making everything bigger(Will make it hard for developers) or more easily by scaling text seperatly.
[Windows 8 General] burma:
I've managed to somewhat improve it by scaling Segoe UI font. So now most of Windows UI looks ugly, but more readable.

So what I have now is

1) 150% DPI scale for desktop (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display)

2) 150% scaled Segoe UI font

Sometimes these 150% overlap (giving 225% total)

To try this:

1) copy attached fonts to your fonts directory without installing it (use .bat file attached and run it as administrator)

2) let windows use new files instead of original ones (run fonts150.reg or fonts125.reg for smaller scaling)

3) sign out - sign in
[Windows 8 General] CommanderThor:
nice hack

WOW nice hack you have here! Didn't know you can change font size via font files. Great work on TrueType files man!

Would it be hard to also make a 125 version(so it doesnt stand out that much over still smaller UI.)? I think i could like this hack enough for everyday use!

P.S.: the small "f" on keyboard is wrong, and for .bat i would add in begining this line, so it works for everyone: "cd /d %~dp0"
[Windows 8 General] burma:
Added 125 fonts. Not sure what "cd /d %~dp0" does though, on my computer it just gives "path not found" error
[Windows 8 General] CommanderThor:
Oh nice, i find the 125% version looking fairly good on my 8" Dell Venue 8 Pro, that is i find it better than default, no matter the smal distortion it causes.

Thanks!

Let us know if you update your fonts file again.

As for your bat file it shows me error "cannot find the file specified" when i run it. But after i add that cd command(without the citation marks) it works fine for me.. That command is supposed to change the dir to "where you are running your .bat file from", works fine for some other .bat files i have..
[Windows 8 General] henry333:
Burma, Thanks so much for the workaround. Didn't know there is a base UI font and there is mapping between font name and font file. A 25% increase in text size works wonder. I wonder why MS can't get such trivial thing right.

Now if I can find a way to disable the random zoom in/out while scrolling screen in IE!

I got a cheap EC Technology Bluetooth keyboard for $14 from amazon. It works pretty well and avoid having the onscreen taking up a lot of screen real estate.
[Windows 8 General] ariostodemo:
It works fine but the resulted font look very bad :( can you make the some fix but with a different font? e.g. Verdana font I think will look better... anyway great idea! and thank you.
[Windows 8 General] jjcoolaus:
Thanks so much Burma for the fix.

I've tried the windows magnifier, and the experience is awful on a tablet (it works great on any laptop)

I also tried reducing the resolution, but the biggest problem with that is the loss of widescreen because all the resolutions below the 1280 x 800 default are 4:3

I'm glad I only paid $250 for this tablet, i'm not enjoying Windows 8.1 on a tablet (like I do on PCs).

Hello,

On my I-Mate JAM I only seem to have one Bluetooth port available? Is this correct (see attached shots)?

Incidentally, I can't seem to get ActiveSync to work over BT anymore - I'm wondering whether it's related to this or not? ActiveSync with BT worked at first but ActiveSync will only work over USB now. :?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
I've just tried the following:-

* Setup an incoming port on my PC

* In ActiveSync connection settings, selected that port as the serial cable port.

* Created a partnership using my I-Mate to find the PC.

I just keep getting the message below, even though it's setup on my PC. :?

Even if I try deleting the partnership and recreating it after this message I have no luck. :x

What could be wrong? Cheers!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Artosoft:
Try this:

I forgot where I found it, but I make a copy on my pc.

To the author, forgive me to post here without your permission, but my intention is to help another.

-----

1)On your PC go to the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth". In the "Options" tab, make sure all the ticks are on. You'll now see a little bluetooth icon on your system tray. Makes it easier to access in the future. Your PC should also be ready to be found as long as you ticked the fist box in the step above.

2)On your Jam, Go to Start, Settings, System (Tab), Bluetooth Settings. On the screen that comes up you ONLY want to hit start. Leave the incoming and outgoing checkboxes OFF!!!

3)You will now be taken to the partnership screen, where you just follow the instructions to add your PC. Follow through until you hit finish. Close everything down until you're back at the today screen.

4)Back to your PC, double click on the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Go to "Com Ports" (Tab) and click "Add". Choose incoming. A You'll see an incoming port added to the list (probably be the only item there). It should look like "COM X Incoming"

Remember what number is after COM. Close all windows, making sure you hit OK or Apply where you have to.

5)Open Active Sync on your PC. Hit File, Connection Settings. Enable the first tick, and select the COM port you had to remember in the previous step. Hit OK

6)Open Active Sync on your Jam. Choose Tools, Connect Via Bluetooth.

I hope above help!

Regards,

Arto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Timewarp:
Thanks, Artosoft. That's got me so far. The device gets past the "User Authenticated" stage with ActiveSync opening on the PC, but the sync doesn't actually occur, it disconnects at that stage.

[NFC Hacking] androcheck:
[DEV] Xposed module: NFC Card-Emulation catch-all AID Routing

Hi!

This may be mainly interesting for developers.

Overview:

I created a Xposed module which allows a "catch-all" routing for KitKat's new Host-Card-Emulation feature. Which means you can create an Host-Card-Emulation app which will receive ALL incoming APDUs (not only the ones for the AID your app has registered for).

This may not be useful at all but maybe it makes sense for debugging or checking which AID a specific card terminal is asking for.

Here's the code:

https://github.com/johnzweng/XposedModifyAidRouting

Details:

With Android 4.4 (KitKat) Google introduced NFC Host-Card-Emulation, which allows your phone to act as a NFC-SmartCard. App developers now can create special apps which handle all the incoming NFC data packets and response like a ISO 7816-4 SmartCard would do it.

However, the app developer has to declare explicitly which SmartCard application it wants to simulate in the app's Manifest file.

In more detail: each SmartCard application on a SmartCard is identified by a unique AID (application identifier). Usually a card terminal first sends a SELECT xxxxxxxxx message to the SmartCard where the xxxxxxx stands for the AID, and the SmartCard responds accordingly if it can handle this AID or not.

On a KitKat phone Android takes care of checking the AID value. So if the card terminal sends a SELECT xxxxxxxxx message, Android checks if there is any Card-Emulation app installed which has registered for this AID and if so it forwards this and all folowing APDU (ISO 7816-4 application protocol data unit) packets to this app.

Otherwise (if no app has registered this AID) it simply responds to the card terminal with a Application not found message and no app will ever be informed about the incoming APDU message.

What this Xposed module does:

If this module is enabled, it completly OVERRIDES the AID routing mechanism of Android. So ALL incoming APDUs for ALL application identifier will be routed to the app which has registered the "special magic" AID "F04E66E75C02D8" (I just randomly chose this one.) Even if there are other Card-Emulation apps installed which explicitly register for a specific AID they never will get any APDU message.

So as an app developer, you simply can create a Host Card Emulation app as described here (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/hce.html) and register it for the special AID F04E66E75C02D8 and your app will receive all APDUs packets for ANY AID value the card terminal ever may ask for.

All your APDUs are belong to us! :)

Edit:

I just added the module to the Xposed repository. Should now also be available in the Xposed installer app.
[NFC Hacking] abuttino:
Would this work to get Google Wallet working on NXP controllers?
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
No.
[NFC Hacking] matthew5025:
Would it be possible to record the aid / adup requests?
[NFC Hacking] androcheck:
I don't know what "adup" stands for but you definitly can record all AID requests.

If you implement your own HostApduService as described here the very first APDU command your service will receive via this method:

@Override
public byte[] processCommandApdu(byte[] apdu, Bundle extras) {
...
}

will always be the SELECT command containing the AID. So you simply can record all the requests there.
[NFC Hacking] matthew5025:
Thanks! I actually meant APDU.

Also, as part of anti-collision process, the card will provide an UID. It seems the UID provided is randomly generated. Is there a way to specify a UID the phone should provide?
[NFC Hacking] androcheck:
As far as I can tell the UID seems not to be set anywhere in the Java part, but after skimming through the libnfc-nci I also found no clue where the random UID is set (or if it could be changed). But maybe I just missed it.

So for the moment I cannot tell you for sure if it's possible to change the UID but tend to believe it's not (but anybody should feel free to correct me in this point).

[NFC Hacking] bobberkarl:
APDU and AID Routing.

Hey, is there a way to catch all APDU sent?

Because with HCE, the first apdu sent must only be the "Select AID" command. I get that you'd need a custom rom for that. but is there one already available ?
[NFC Hacking] iamdude:
Maybe you should try something like an NFC Spy or NFCGate applications.

Hi! :)

The code was changes slightly in recent Android versions.

I've updated the module to version "0.4". Now it should work also with newer Android versions (as far as I see in the code it should also work with Android 9 now).

You can find the updated sourcecode here:

https://github.com/johnzweng/XposedModifyAidRouting

And the APK of the module:

either on Github: https://github.com/johnzweng/XposedModifyAidRouting/releases

or in the Xposed repo:

[NFC Hacking] xtam:
what can be done with this app?

Eli5 please.
[NFC Hacking] manuel-covas:
Well, not much and alot, it serves more as maybe an entrance into investigating any existing smartcard system to maybe find some flaws like I did.

Smartcards can hold many applications and when you bring one up to a reader (at least the ISO/IEC 14443 ones) the reader must first issue a SELECT command with the AID (application id) of the application it wants to channel further communications to.

So to emulate smartcards in android, you must build an app with all required permissions but, most importantly, define in the manifest file the AIDs you want to listen too, so that when you bring your phone up to the reader and it sends the SELECT command, android matches it to your app and you get a raw bytes pipe. And here lies the problem.

In my case (and most likely anybody else's) I didn't know the AID of the system I was looking at and almost had to bring and oscilloscope to the train station and attach a coil to it to listen in on the signal and literally see the AID in the waves but luckily I found this module first which goes in and modifies android system code to redirect all AIDs to one that you know and allows you to quickly and simply write down the AID and then disable the module and listen to the correct AID. (and not get walked in on by the police)
