All you have to do is go to the registry. Edit hklm\ControlPanel\Pen\ ... Change the value of hide from 1 to 0. Save and reboot the phone. Then go to settings/all settings/screen and on the Clear type tab choose enable. Reboot and you'll see the fonts the way you want to now.

That was my biggest gripe with the phone for sure.

Hello,

When I run "Quick System Info" on my Desire, i can read :

"Memory Total : 398 Mo".

Is that normal ? I thought desire got 576.

Thanks for your answers.
[Desire General] abc27:
For some odd reason I think this is something to do with Android 2.1 as apparently 2.2 will come with fixes to allow more free RAM. I get the exact same on my phone btw.

Alright, thanks for your answer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treich007:
I am using Cyanogen 5.0.6 on my N1. I flashed it about 5 days ago.

Backstory: So I was connected to my car stereo via bluetooth on my way to work this morning when the songs stops playing. I then pressed the skip button on my receiver but nothing happened. I then looked at my phone and realized that it was off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it back on but that did not work. Then I removed the battery and then replaced it and pressed the power button. It turned on. The main problem became evident when I got to the home screen and it said "Blank SD card - SD card blank of has unsupported filesystem."

Is there a way to recover the data that was on this sd card? It is asking me to format the card, but I would rather recover the files if possible before formating. Also, is this a glitch with Cyanogen, the 5.0.6 ROM, Android 2.1 or something else?

If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:
No idea what could have caused it but as for recovering files just try one of the many programs out there.

Ive persoanlly had success wity a program called recova for windows
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treich007:
Thanks Phantom.

I had a spare memory card at home. It was full of videos so I had to format the card. Once it was formatted, I stuck it in the phone and rebooted. Everything was fine for about a half hour. I then loaded up some of my files that I wanted on the card, mainly just photos and documents. Then I thought I would go back to Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 so I loaded up the zip file on the root of the card and turned the phone off. When I went into bootloader it wouldn't recognize the card. So I was forced to restart the phone. Once it got to the home screen, a notification popped up saying that the SD card is damaged. [naturally there were expletives]. So now I have two SD cards that I cannot use on my phone. When I put the cards into a USB adapter, the computer only sees a few MB of the SD card and does not allow me to format.

I have now just about reached the limit of my computer knowledge.

The two main questions are:

1. What caused this?

2. How can I fix it?

Please keep in mind that I am a noob when it comes to most of this stuff so I would appreciate the help to be kept in layman's terms as much as possible.

Thank you!

No, I don't want to shut it up, I want to change it!

Anyone know if this is changeable, without root? Or even with root... :p

If so, how so? ;)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Just don't turn your phone off!! I guess you'd need root to change the splash screen
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Yea quite annoyed by this also. Had a few weird things happen to my phone after installing certain apps. I would uninstall them, but the weird things remain, so i restart and all is good. Although restarting is SO FREAKING LOUD! It's crazy loud. Scared the *$#*#* outta me first time I restarted at work, everyone looked at me and was like wtf?

[Touch CDMA General] nuttyprof:
If you remove the battery cover, between the speaker and camera, slightly towards the top of the phone, there is a zig-zagging line. Is that the phone antenna? Or possibly the GPS antenna?

Reason I ask is that many years ago, I bought a bunch of those little gold stickers that are supposed to boost your reception. Though i dont believe they work, I have them, and figure it cant hurt to stick one on over the antenna.

=) Silly, I know...
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Honestly, I am not 100% certain, but it could be the radio antenna and not the GPS... you might as well try it. I had one of those, and I think it actually made things worse when I put it in my old Nokia :)
[Touch CDMA General] nuttyprof:
LOL. really? I'll do some experiments. 5 days with it off, and then 5 days with it on. We'll see how it works.

I have been given a vodaphone hermes and i want to use my orange sim in it. I managed to unlock the sim with software from this site and everything works great apart from no one can hear me talk in a phone call. I can hear them.

Any help would b emuch appreciated.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ukslice:
from what i can tell it's a common problem. Damaged USB port knocks out mic, as it thinks it has a headset still plugged in. Such a pity as it's everything I would want in a phone. I only make or receve calls ones or twice a week so bluetooth headset or usb headset would be ridiculous. I guess I will just use it as a wireless pda to replace my aging ipaq. :rolleyes:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Hello.

I was searching,but no success.

As we all know,that it is necessary to pair our Raphi with another device for file transfer via Bluetooth.

This is good idea indeed,but it is for me all the time annoying. I know,that WM is able to receive file without pairing,but I don't know,where to find the hack.

Anyone to help me disable pairing?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
You can turn off need passcode in BT settings or use Obex Inbox
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Did you meant this?

I have it disabled all the time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
Yes that's the one on receiving shouldn't ask to pair but on sending you'll find the other users phone needs pair as probably not WM handset without the function, if still having probs use the software mentioned as will bypass pairing and allow save to any location.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Thanks,it saves to SD.

Unfortunately it still ask for code,while receiving from unpaired device:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
Strange i'll check later when get time don't tend to use BT file transfer but on Kaiser have cooked in and transferring from gf's Excalibur didn't ask, i cooked in as the option to stop pairing wasn't there.

Least you can save to SD ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] khaeid:
Any news regarding this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
Nothing yet. My colleague's Compact V (Diamond2) doesn't ask for it. I'll check registry differences later.

Edited...

Tonight I received a mp3 file from my friend(was not paired before) and suddenly it doesn't ask for pairing and it stores the file without any questions. It was by using Obex Inbox software. I'll try it one again tomorrow.

notice any improvements ? (it would be from 1.23 to 1.31 I think)
[Legend Android Development] Zym0tiC:

not much else really. Except that the wordpress app now is working although that could be related to the hard reset.

and yes it now runs at 1.31 :)

I tried to make a goldcard using a Sandisk MicroSD. It seemed to work, but I couldn't flash an official HTC rom (invalid customer ID). When I tried it again with a Kingston MicroSD it worked like a charm!
[Legend Android Development] iziy:
U mean u can update the OTA update without RUU? How?
[Legend Android Development] jorgesalvador:
Well maybe there is something else wrong in my method, as all I get when going into recovery mode is a big red warning icon. Could be related that I didn't find anywhere someone saying what exactly did they do to flash the new ROM.

I tried putting the ROM in the goldcard I created, naming it "update.zip", and then booting into "Recovery" mode. Didn't work, it displayed the red warning icon. Tried again but renaming the rom "legeimg.zip", same results.
[Legend Android Development] creatif:
Don't go into recovery mode, but use this method instead:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard

Use a Kingston MicroSD if you get the 'Wrong customer ID' when flashing.

I used a rom from this location:

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Legend

You can keep the microsd card in your phone for this to work, you don't need a sd adapter..

Just follow all the steps carefully, then you can boot your phone like you always do, but with the goldcard. After that you can flash from windows.
[Legend Android Development] jorgesalvador:
Excuse my über n00b self, but I understand all the step by step guides except for the one without steps, which is "after that you can flash from windows". I just don't know how to do that. Again, I'm totally new to Android.
[Legend Android Development] jorgesalvador:

[Legend Android Development] RunSeven:
since shipped-roms.com seems to be down, could anybody try and upload the RUU? I'm fed up too with my VF branding and wish to get a clean Legend...

thanks from a newbie
[Legend Android Development] colonel:
shipped-roms is pretty hopeless

When I last went in this morning, only 1.23 generic WWE is available. This is also available in another post in this forum.

However, 1.31 is not. IMHO 1.23 is not worth it as the vodafone ROM is ok except for 2 apps and the boot logo. I only want 1.31 as I think they have fixed some things.

Anyone spots the full 1.31 (as .exe or .img) in the wild please say!!!!
[Legend Android Development] iziy:
Same for me :rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] creatif:
You can Flash the 1.23 firmware, and use your phone to update to the 1.31 update (with the system software updates in de settings panel). Use wifi when searching for the update, because it may not find the update on 3g..

[Legend Android Development] Merkie:
I don't really understand it either. Maybe an experienced XDA-user can create a tutorial for dummies on how to debrand the Legend? It seems really complicated.

2. you run a stock rom (see www.shipped-roms/shipped/Legend)

[Desire General] daesimps:
I too have the same issue. I sync with Exchange via Activesync and it doesn't honour the free/busy option.

I use Vibrate During Meetings (VDM) which sets your phone onto vibrate during meetings. This has an option to only do this for appointments marked as "busy", but since the Desire calendar doesn't honour this setting it's no good to me.

I am on call for a week at a time, so put an appointment in my calendar for on call which is marked in Exchange as free. Unfortunately since the free setting doesn't propagate to the phone (by either HTC Sync or Activesync) the phone puts itself on vibrate for a week at a time.

I'd be interested in a solution if anyone finds one.
[Desire General] simondavo:
agreed.

can't believe that this functionality hasn't been considered in the android calendars.

this is probably not an issue to a lot of people but its key to my phone usage, especially after coming from winmob where this had been standard for years.
