[Epic 4G Android Development] smeyerhuky:
I got this information from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480964 for the G1

Just edited it so it would work for the Epic 4G.

This only works if you have root enabled (get it here) and it would be best to have the superuser app on as well.

1: download the DeJaVu fonts from here using one-click, they are freely licensed.

2: unzip and copy 'DejaVuSans.ttf' to your sdcard and rename it exactly 'DroidSansFallback.ttf' (without the quotes)

using ADB: (this makes it easier to copy and paste)

adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
dd if=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf.bak
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
reboot

on-phone:

start terminal emulator and type exactly the following commands, followed by enter:

su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 4755 /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
dd if=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf.bak
dd if=/sdcard/DroidSansFallback.ttf of=/system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
reboot

after reboot you will be able to see all languages supported by dejavu

note: if dejavu doesn't support your language, just find a font that does, and follow the exact same procedure.

How does that help you views an email or text or website on your phone that is in hebrew?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thetoady:
unsure this is neccessary for users who upgraded to froyo.

All my friends who stick hebrew in their facebook status messages, it now comes through perfectly (as upgraded to froyo).

However, there are still many RTL issues that I see from time to time.
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
5.24 hours of display with it on. 7.54 with it off. Explain? These were the only changes I made from yesterday to today. I calculated these times via percentages and battery used. If everything remains relatively constant, power saving mode is worse on the battery for me.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
battery saving mode - you mean in the display options? Yeah, I disabled mine. I would think that constantly checking images to determine brightness would use more battery imo.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
how is this different from auto-adjusted brightness? i assume auto-adjusted brightness uses the sensor, whereas this battery saving mode will change the brightness by determining the content shown on the screen?
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
Ya so it needs power to keep the sensors awake. I always disable such functions together with auto sync. Just do it manually if you want to conserve battery.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
going further with that, what all does auto-sync entail? is gmail pushed, or auto-synced? i don't really use any widgets or apps that would require it (maybe google voice? i guess calendar and contacts...)
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
Either way, I wish I would have known about this considering it added two hours to my battery life.
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
Ya it's good to know. I think a lot of people may get tricked by the descriptions. It probably only saves battery if the screen brightness is set to maximum all the time.
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
It's auto synced by default with or without the widget. (Things may be different in 2.2) If you want to sync them manually, you need to go to setting>accounts and sync and choose it yourself.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
Thanks for the tip!
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
just curious - are you sure battery was totally drained?

that other post about the batteries having more life than indicated (and i'm not referring to the icon up in the notification bar) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770207

i've been wondering how accurate the battery remaining indication is, the one in "settings > about phone > status" actually is

after the battery had settled in (used for 2 weeks) mine demos a 1-2% drain overnite consistently, except for the blue moon occasion it demos 11-12% - and the issue i have is, every nite when i take it off the charger, i check Flight mode, and kill any syncing as well as kill the GPS. I know an errant app could be trying to run, but i don't think so - i've got Startup Auditor, and all settings have remained the same - there's no reason i can see for the odd jump in battery drain

i know the radio's signals strength in the same settings > about phone > status is way off - even when showing 0 signal strength & 0 asus, i can still make calls with no issue. It's just got me wondering how off all those indicators are, whether battery, radio, radio signal strength, system useage numbers, etc

did you run movies etc after battery notification came up to see if battery was truly close to 0%?
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
I'm using battery indicator. It has been dead accurate for three weeks. I'm getting two more hours of display which translate to considerable more overall battery life.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
the "power saving" mode is annoying, if only for the fact that i had already disabled auto-brightness, only to realize the brightness would change depending on what was being displayed on screen at the time. i left it on the absolute minimum brightness, because that is more than enough for me, and the fluctuations were making me scratch my head for awhile there (thinking, "hey, i thought i turned that off!")

makes sense now
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
I'm surprised I'm the first one to show and really point out the difference. But oh well hopefully this goes in the sticky.
[Vibrant General] Razer(x):
Thanks for this mate, i was searching a confirm!
[Vibrant General] gold3ndrag0n:
The battery indicator for me is pretty inaccurate, I've had Youtube playing with the speakers on, i.e. headphones unplugged a good 10-15 mins after the battery indicator was flashing at 0%. Another weird thing is I get more battery life out of Bionix 1.91 than Fusion 1.1, but Fusion 1.1 supposedly has the leaking battery while idle fixed. I dunno what's going on with the battery indicator but I can't believe it to be very accurate.

When I had an N900, I had an app that allowed me to draw on pdfs. I ended up using it to sign documents and it worked great. I was curious to see if something was available for Android but haven't found anything yet. Iphone has an app that is called Doc Sign that is exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know if something similar for Android exists?

Hey guys, i feel really stupid asking this, but i could have sworn i pulled it off before i reinstalled my OS. I have the news and weather and power control widgets on my home screen. both have the solid metallic background. i could have sworn i had a transparent background to them that would let me see parts of my wallpaper through them.

i THOUGHT i had pulled this off without buying the extended power control widget. can someone tell me how to change this?

thanks

Just switched to AT&T from Sprint (cause my wife has been bugging the hell out of me for an iPhone 4)

I had originally got an iPhone 4 with her so to see what all of the hype was about....... after feeling constrained for about 2 weeks I had to go back to my first love....."Android"

Needless to say that the Captivate is great phone!! Loving the speed, screen size and crispness!!

Now..... on to rooting it...... LOL.

Just thought I would let you guys know that.

I owed my wife a new phone so I just went along with the move....... I do love the faster internet speed with AT&T, but I miss the cheaper bill. :(
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Me too and talk about a smack in the face. OLD School SERO plan holders can now upgrade to a plan that allows the 4G phones for 50 bucks a month.
[Captivate General] Coldheat1906:
Wow.... that does suck!!!

So have you already rooted your phone? if so what did you do first?
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Hit these forums as soon as I got it. Then Ran SRE. It just works. I currently don't have the lagfix on the phone because I'm a little scared of ext4 on solid state memory. I'm looking for data that shows just how many writes our memory can take before it craps out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eezergeezer:
Hello People,

General question for the desire and other relevant phones. I was previously using a n95 and was able to record the 2 way call using the stock recorder.

I have a desire running leedriod 1.9 and cannot record both sides of the convo. you can hear the convo faintly but thats because its being picked up over the mic and not internally.

I have also noticed when playing soundboards the person on the phone is not able to hear soundboard sounds... rather pointless to have them i know!

anyone shed any light on this ?

nice one!

[Streak 5 General] zgmf-x322a:
Dear All,

I am planning to get a Streak (UK version) unlocked

i would like to know what is the major difference between a locked and an unlocked version?

i just know that a locked version doesnt not support other networks (e.g. O2 Streak doesnt allow Vodafone and etc sim cards to work)

other than this, are there any other main differences?

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

i am currently in Hong Kong, there is a Streak offer (O2 unlocked version) and i would like to get it this week or so...

i am just afraid that the "3G/Data/HSPA" etc will not work... so i would like to know the locked/unlocked differences

i hope everyone could help me out and welcome me to the Dell Streak family :D

thanks all :D
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
basically no.

that is the major difference.

unlocked: use on any network

sim only from o2/cpw locked to o2

unlocked: minus any bloatware that o2 may put on their version.
[Streak 5 General] zgmf-x322a:
thanks for the reply, but let me get this straight...

so the unlocked version which i will be getting, i will be able to use ANY SIM card and use the 3G/Data/HSPA provided too, right?

just to confirm myself, thanks
[Streak 5 General] smokku:
Yes.

I have an unlocked UK model from Dell directly and I have no problems with Polish and Spanish SIM cards.
[Streak 5 General] zgmf-x322a:
Sweet!! U guys gad made things more clearer.

Thank u n flumps for the help.. appreciate it alot
[Streak 5 General] ButterflyMind:
Thanks for answering my question too - I want to use the Dell Streak satnav in Spain with a local SIM (unless O2 offers a sweet deal on roaming rates with its Telefonica parent?? But I rather doubt it).
[Streak 5 General] untrueparadox:
no guarantees on 3g unless hong kong uses the same 3g band.
[Wildfire General] jefmcg:
I've had my Wildfire for less than two weeks. I've created employment and education in facebook etc etc, but I have never had synchronisation. HTC support has given up on me (which I find appalling as facebook integration is a big selling point, even though I can live without it).

Am I the only one? Is HTC Sense facebook working for everyone else?
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Works fine for me, What exactly doesn't sync?

Contacts or Friendstream?
[Wildfire General] jefmcg:
Home->Menu->Settings->Accounts & sync->Add account->facebook for HTC sense->Sign in

I fill in my details and get "The service is currently unavailable...."

This has happened every time I've tried it. It's never gone further.

I've been onto my facebook account and added one employment (with location) and one education (with location). This made no difference. They've both been deleted

HTC response is (after some to & fro):

thanks in advance

[General Topics] jianC:
lol this just pretty much killed it. Apple could sell stuff for 600+ euros and someone would probably still buy because of the brand name but Samsung, some not-so-well-known brand name comes and attempts to sell an "ipad killer". If it had great specs and a decent price, it would definitely live up to its name but this is just disappointing :(
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Agreed. I've long been a Tablet PC owner (HP TC1100) and the iPad is an absolutely killer machine compared to all the other tablets I've ever used. Of course, it's not a Win / x86 machine, but, for my needs (Web browsing, reading / searching in books, playing back videos) it's WAY better than anything else I've ever tested. And, on top of that, it has a GREAT battery life.

All of a sudden I am not able to connect to the internet at all.

Yesterday at the doctor's office i decided to turn off the phone in communications manager (Start>Settings>Connections>Communications Manager) so that I would not receive any phone calls but would be able to play some games.

After I was done with the doctor I re-enabled the phone and was able to call people and connect to the internet without a hitch.

This morning I see at the top of the phone that I have a phone signal but there is an x next to the data signal. I tried to connect but nothing happened.

I went back to communications manager and tried to put a check mark next to Data Connection but after some "thinking" by the phone I get a message Data Connection could not be changed.

So I called up mu provider, T-Mobil, there were no outages for my area, and had them reset my link with the cell towers. Same problem.

I do notice that in Communication Manager the Airplane AND Phone are highlighted.

Should'nt the Airplane in Communication Manager be greyed out?

Is there another problem that i am not aware of?

I was able to re-set my internet settings by using the Connection Setup(start>settings>connections>Connection Setup) but still cannot access the net.

Is there some other way to ENABLE the data connection?

Yes I do have a Data Plan and I checked from my laptop, online, in the "My Usage" on the T-Mobil website and noticed that at last night at 9:31pm, 10:31p, 11:31pm and lastly at 12:31 I had received data. This information was update as on 6:45am this morning. So basically I have not had internet since 12:31am.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

x
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
So after being on the phone with T-Mobil for about 1 hr, it was finally determined that there

was

indeed a service interruption for my area.

I was a bit upset with both SE and T-Mobil for giving me the runaround. "Sorry" this and "I apologize" that, just tell me what is wrong from the first second.

Although this specific incident had nothing to do with the phone hardware or the software on the phone, I only wish that SE would acknowledge that the phone has problems. And to suggest that I need to factory reset the phone is just ridiculous. I spend a lot of time getting the thing to run somewhat right, slow at times but somewhat useable, and to reset that . . . no way I want to go through that again.

[HD2 General] d0ug:
I really dont see how Twitter is working on this, unless HTC shipped them the source code to Peep and is making them rewrite it? yeah right!

There's really nothing that Twitter has to do from their end, HTC needs to rewrite the authentication portion of Peep. The only possible thing Twitter could do is reenable Basic Auth, which im sure they will not do, atleast not on a permanent basis. If Twitter was feeling kind they could reenable Basic Auth for another week or 2, give the developers of all those twitter clients that window to get their clients supporting OAuth, then cut off Basic Auth again.

This whole problem is HTC's fault, Twitter notified developers MONTHS ago that this change was going to be taking place. In fact the change was originally supposed to happen back in June or July and was pushed back to give developers more time to get their clients updated
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I would agree, but from the sound of the message, they're doing it to re-enable more mobile clients than just HTC's, so maybe there'll be a basic auth "bridge" for just mobile clients..? I don't know any more details than that, but HTC did firmly put the issue in Twitter's lap with that announcement :rolleyes:

[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
It's working fine now. Maybe something was up earlier with twitter and mobile clients? Who knows. Back on track.

Is yours cool now?
