many phone companies does offer that service free of charge.

not sure about Tmobile UK though.

you don't need Kies to flash Froyo

when it does comes out officially you can install it via Odin, or Heimdall, or Clockworks, or many other methods

Hi all,

Updated to Android 2.2 yesterday, started playing around and found an interesting thingie: Some "facebook-birthdays" appear in my calendar, but surprisingly NOT ALL of them! I have no idea why but I know that I am not the only one.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Cheers'n'thanks

i have just looked for a previous thread that i started but when i did a search for my name it comes up and says no threads found so i think it may have been deleted for some reason

my initial problem was with my desire, i bought it branded to orange from cex, i use vodafone so needed to get it unlocked, i took it to my local phone shop who unlocked it with an unlock code, it hadn't previously been used to make calls untill it was unlocked because it wasn't on the network i needed, anyway, as soon as i tried to make calls they would drop out constantly, couldn't hold 1 single call, some calls would last for a few minutes but would still drop out, i have tried everything suggested, using the aeroplane mode to try and sort it out and also changing the frequencies, none of this helped although when i tried to connect using only wmcda only the calls would drop out less and last a little longer...my firmware was never updated so the firmware on it was 2.1 .......i have since sent my desire of for repair/replacement and have contacted them today (since they have had it 3 weeks) and was told it is ready to be sent back to me and that it has had the mother board replaced...has anyone else had similar problems who had had a new mother board fitted and then the problems have stopped??? im thinking that when it comes back it will be as useless as a phone as it was when i sent it off

thanks

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanEspinosa:
Hi,

I'm using a SEA edition of Wildfire and can display Thai and Vietnamese characters. I noticed in my /system/fonts directory there is a file called CNCondense.ttf which are the Thai fonts.

I installed some fonts to support Unicode 1700 fonts (Baybayin) but the webpages still rendered squares.

Does this mean that Android only looks at the Droid*.ttf family of fonts to display text and just ignore CNCondense.ttf?

Thanks.

Hi davita,

assuming your phone's rooted, do an "adb push" to /system/fonts while in recovery mode.

I decided to simply pull DroidSansFallback.ttf, edit it with fontforge to copy the necessary unicode characters from another font, then push it back.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
That doesn't make sense at all. Multinational companies have their servers in whichever countries they are present. An american customer won't download updates from samsung india or vice versa... So in the end, each country is unique and regardless of when the update releases, users will download it from the same local servers after all, whether it's one country at a time or all of them simultaneously....

I would have thought it's equally (or more) likely that the T-Mobile forum team haven't heard about the delay yet. Given that the definite knowledge of the delay itself only seems to have surfaced in the last couple of days.

Also, without wanting to sound mean about it, the non-answer in that thread, re how to back up data etc, doesn't suggest the highest level of possible competence.

Anyway, we'll know soon enough, I suppose!

I had the same issue a couple days ago. I have a Samsung Epic but hopefully this will help you to.

I had the same problem when I didn't have USB Debugging checked in the settings menu. So I read the forums and found out that is what I had wrong but that didnt work either.

So I got it to work by making sure USB Debugging and Stay Awake was on. Rebooted the Device and had it on the charger while I did it and Autostarts started to work like normal.

Hopefully this was somewhat helpful and it works for you

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strebblo:
Hi..

I'm sure that I've tried every possible search for this and found nothing yet:

I need to change the HTC Sense email tab/app so that it points to 'Outlook email' without settng up an account!

There are 5 or 6 HD2's that I'm responsible for configuring (a mix of energy roms [Sept 20] and stock roms) and we use Novell Groupwise mobile server, which uses Nokia Intellisync.

On the device, you install the Intellisync client which collects all the email/contact/calendar info and shoves it into the respective application on the device.

Now this works fine with the calendar and contacts apps - you open them and all the info is there, but when you look at the Sense Email tab, it shows that there are 8 (for example) new/unread emails but when you open the tab, the sense interface says: "No Mail Account --- Tap to add a mail account" .

However, the email is there, and it's partially seeing that, as it displays the notification on the mail tab. And if you go into windows messaging, or slide across from the text tab, you can get to the outlook mail easily.

So of course my question is: How do I change this?

Thanks for looking, and for your help..

I just recieved my HD2 two weeks ago and already my battery is now broken.

I have been running froyostone and i was talking to a friend and my phone ran out.... I charged it booted it in windows and end up getting a message that my battery is now broken...

is this a hardware problem, a software problem or an actual thing that has happened..

would froyostone have any chance got in this problem to break my battery?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SplashK:
Vringo

For now the best developed program is Vringo. It's free to use however you can not choose videos from your sd card and the quality is not that good. You can check Video ringer but this one needs more development as it doesn't support the vibrating function of the phone and the screen stays blank for 2-3 second after the phone has started ringing.

If you have another program that is working fine on HTC Desire, please share :)
[Captivate Accessories] nickbarbs:
I've had my captivate for 1 week and the top glossy part is covered in scratches and small spots. Guess what, it was in the Body Glove case the whole time! Dust and stuff gets trapped underneath the stupid rubber case and then is contained underneath and will happilly move around and scratch the hell out of your beloved device.

Now i'm just going naked with no case and the top of my machine is scratched. I'm pretty upset because this was an ATT case and it was expensive.

Whatever. goes to show there's no perfect case and the best is to go naked OR go with a slip case. But I just wanted to warn the rest of you the body glove case is not that great.

I figured that was relatively all cases that formed a tight seal with the phone. I know my Amzer case is the same, as was the case I had for my iPhone. I just make sure I have a screen protector over the screen so that it "scratches" the protector intead of the screen.

[Captivate Accessories] pyrplhaze:
This is why I put a skin on any of my phones before putting it in a case.

I ordered one of those "free" stealth guard skins, despite their reviews, because its cheap and it covers the phone. I'm not gonna put it on 'til Otterbox comes out with their cases, and when I get mine, i'll throw the skin on and then put it in the case. Not concerned with the quality of them (stealth guard) too much especially if its just going to be inside another case. It's more there for the extra protection factor...

I currently don't have anything on the phone at all right now, and have been lucky that there's no scratches or marks *yet* on it...hopefully Obox will get their act together and get the cases out soon, 'cause I can't wait!

[Captivate Accessories] journeyman82:
I had a completely differenet issue with the Body Glove case. When I had it on my captivate it would interfere with my touch inputs. This would only start after having the case on the phone for a few days and then all of a sudden I couldn't type anything and my touch inputs were completely off. As soon as I took the case off it worked like normal again, put the case back on and it still worked normal for a few days again. I just stopped using the case and am waiting for my Zagg total protection :D
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
I've got the Ghost Armor skin and it's pretty decent however the corners are peeling away, I've just been lazy and don't want to go back to the mall store to get new corner pieces put on.

Add to that the Verizon Droid X leather case and it's not too bad overall. You can even put the phone back into the droid X case with headphones plugged in.

[Captivate Accessories] Digital Man:
Every few days I take the case off, clean the interior with screen cleaner spray and a lint free cloth. Then I clean the Captivate with a fresh cloth and put it back in the case.

So far no scratches at all.

I don't think this is a case you can just put on and forget about. It fits too tight and sooner or later dirt and grit will get inside and wear away at the phones finish, especially if you put the phone directly in your pocket.

Just clean the interior of the case every few days however and the case works fine.

It may very well be a manufacturer flaw on those who sustained scratches.

ATT sells a clear slip on case by INCIPIO which might be an alternative to your current case...tight as hell to remove...but with time eventually loosens up :D
[Captivate Accessories] mxk271:
clear incipio is so tight that i read reviews of it scratching up the phone not just the top while putting it on. May have to put on those full body shields underneath to prevent all scratches.
[Captivate Accessories] Demented71:
I have the flexible Body Glove case as well from AT&T and do have some minor scratches. Nothing that made me go "Oh no!", so I'm not that worried about it.

I do take the phone out from time to time and clean the phone, as well as the case, so perhaps that is why the scratches aren't too bad for me.

I love the case, since it's not to bulky, yet adds enough girth to the phone that I don't feel like it's gonna slip out of my hand.

[Captivate Accessories] Digital Man:
Best Buy is now selling a silicone case like the body glove. With all the paranoia about the body glove I finally gave in and bought the case from Best Buy to replace it. Though, honestly I haven't gotten a single scatch so far with the body glove.

For those interested, the best buy case is very nice. It's softer than the body glove, and has a smooth back (unlike the grooved back of the body glove which some people didn't like). It fits a bit more loosely, partly because the material is so soft, and is even easier than the body glove to put on and take off.

In addition, the best buy case covers the power button and volume controls completely providing even fewer entry points for dirt. I wasn't sure if that was such a good idea, but supprisingly it works even better than the exposed controls. The designer placed soft raised bumps where the volume controls and power controls are located and they respond very well.

Only drawback is that the Best Buy case has a very smooth texture, so it is easier for it to slip out of your hand. The body glove had a more rubbery texture and felt more secure when holding it.

For those wondering why I haven't referred to the cases's manufacturer, its because there doesn't seem to be one. The box is labeled: "protective Silicone Cover for the Galaxy S. Then it proclaims: Premium Silicone provides grip without feeling sticky. Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S handsets. And of course, it's made in China. (But it actually bothers to point out that the box is made in the US. Its nice to see we still have cardboard making technology in the United States! Makes me feel proud!)

Though it doesn't say anything about the captivate on the box, the sign on the store shelf says its for the captivate, and after trying it, it was obviously designed for our phone, as it fits exactly like the body glove.

Edit: there actually is a tiny transparent label on the box certifying that it is designed for the ATT captivate.

Additional info: After examining the enclosed warranty paper, this would appear to be an official Samsung accessory. Though I don't understand why it doesn't just say that on the box. The enclosed warranty is through Samsung telecomunications America, LLC. The warranty refers to Samsung's phones and accessories being free of defects so I guess this actually is a Samsung product.
