I tried Nokia font on my Hyperdroid 1.7 and I could not boot into the Android - had to go battery out, reboot - put back old fonts, then it booted. Anyway to know for a fact this is the good way of doing it and I am not missing anything?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harry655:
Sanjeev ur a legend mate, the font swap worked like a charm on 1st reboot.

Very happy. Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vodanhdaisu:
i did exactly as OP's guide, but my android-font is not changed. i put all the ttf files into: SDcard\Android\root\system\fonts

i'm using (Dec.6.10) EVO Carbon Remix V0.4 (hastarin r8.5.1).

Anybody help ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Dunno what to tell you, I did exactly that, using Dec 17 carbon remix, and it worked perfectly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Leo_ee:
Not sure how but this topic keeps getting missed in the failed update mayhem. One thing seems obvious bloatware are needed for update to succeed. TB cannot restore these. Is it possible for someone to share them so we can install. Wothout flashong ising oden
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Just use Odin.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Leo_ee:
Odin will delete everything though. Was hoping not to do that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Leo_ee:
Also it seems ppl who used odin are the ones having problems updating. Does anyone have the att apk files and how can they be installed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] boborone:
Look at the survey in general you have been pointed to in other posts. You don't need bloat to have a successful update. Designgears has made an update. You can get the apk's off a system dump in dev.

Please look around and read. I'm not trying to come down on you, but all the questions and concerns you have, all legitimate, have been addressed.

[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I wonder if a host host list potentially becomes detrimental to your phone's browser performance. I understand that the idea is for the energy/resourced saved from not displaying the Ads (hence faster load time). However, having to check a huge list all the time for every domain name resolution would slow thing down and reduce the benefit?

I tested this on a iPod Touch 3GS, because host file for android is harder to get to.Running a really long host list slowed down the browser to a crawl. But removing most of the entries leaving just the necessary ones does show improvement in browsing experience vs. non-modified host file.

Also not as significant but the host file is loaded at boot into RAM thus uses up some resources, although I think it is a non-issue since hosts file are usually small text files.

So the question becomes, does program like AdFree which pulls down a huge list made for desktop (composed of various precautionary but useless entries) from a remote server actually benefits mobile devices?
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
I haven't seen that it has any noticible effect on the browser per se. Back when I was using a G1, it seemed like it *might* have been slowing down overall system performance, but everything slowed down the G1, just by turning it on, so it's hard to say.

I know that on the Vibrant it doesn't seem to have any impact I can see. And, certainly, the lack of ads in many apps is quite a benefit. It's very bothersome having to constantly be distracted by the ad bar at the bottom of an app, especially when the GUI of the app is fully themed, and the ad bar doesn't match. That's fine if there's a "pro" version without ads, but in many cases there isn't.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Every time you connect to a website your phone makes a DNS request, it will check the hosts file first and then if the entry is not present will contact the DNS servers in resolv.conf, so I do not see a validity of the statement unless the host file becomes millions of lines.
[Vibrant General] jjohns63:
Indeed, parsing a local text file will always be faster than issuing a dns query, especially in a mobile device with high network latency.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
Noticeably less delay than actually downloading the ad, I know that...

I couldn't stomach not having it and I notice no negligible delays in DNS lookups...

I have bought a new HTC HD2 and install the newest ROM for it. I want a program for Bluetooth control. I have used Persian Blue, Obexinbox, Doctor yar and so many Programs. Would you tell me the solution for this problem.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maerdance:
Oh yes, Sir, you really seem to have some strange problem.

U have to change your operating system, this would solve this

(whatever your actual problem is,u unfortunately don't mention it. u only say that u wanna control your bt-connection and that you're aware of several existing bt-controlers for winmo)

and tons of further problems'n issues concerning winmo. and that's even why you aren't that wrong in this section as the random reader could think. because nobody here solves windows problem cause none even got one. here u can learn how to make an android from your hidden-treasure so called hd2.

now follow the white rabbit...

Every time im try to activate my phone the screen goes black and i cant press any of the buttons i have 2 take out the battery. is there any way 2 bypass the activation or a way 2 keep it from goin black? im on the 2.1v3 leak plz n thank u
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Couldn't you upgrade to the July OTA update then just root and flash another ROM?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewacko:
So I bought a phone (Eris) off Craigslist to flash it to Cricket. I was able to get all the settings right in order to have MMS\3g using EPST and enjoyed it for a while. Unfortunately, I recently moved to a town that does not have Cricket in it, so I installed a new rom and was able to Activate my phone with Verizon. Unfortunately, I have been unable to access 3g on the Verizon network and was wondering if anyone could post the correct settings to use with epst in order to get 3g working.

Please, I have searched for them but am either using the wrong search term or just cant find a thread that has the settings I need.

I am currently using KaosFroyo V32 but by the time anyone reads this I will have reverted to a rom which allows me to use EPST.

Thanks,

Q
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewacko:
So I switched over to the Xtrsenserom and, just as I thought, the settings in EPST are all still setup for cricket service.

Im going to try #228 and see what happens now that Im not on a Froyo-based Rom anymore

Peace...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewacko:
AAARrrgggghhh!!!

This so sucks!! The ota did not change the settings (or at least not enough to allow mobile internet) It was so easy to find the settings i needed to change in order to have mobile internet through Cricket. Why is it so hard to find the ones to revert back? Under the NAM Name it still says cricket but my MDN is correct but I can tell a bunch of the numbers in subsequent settings are connected to my old Cricket account... Please help!!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
It's *228 for one. Which page in EPST do you need?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewacko:
Ah I figured it out. It had my old number as min and crickets info for login and a few other abnormalities resulting from cricket. I gotta say this version of Android 2.1 I reverted to in order to access EPST is real nice. I don't think im going back to Froyo for a while. I forgot how nice the dialpad is where you can just dial in part of someones name and all the numbers that fit your input start appearing :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrienduinen:
can you send me the settings you used in EPST for verizon. I think I may be having similar issues.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
Use the verizon RUU.

This will put everything back, you can *228, reroot, then restore your nand backup and uninstall auto start.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
You know what, just throw a verizon prl file in there, and you should be able to *228.

Try that alltel verizon hybrids one if you can't find any others.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstark27:
I'm sorry to bring this thread back up.

I just went through 3 days of frustration on this issue and since this thread is the top google result, I want to help others.

I bought a used Droid Incredible that was flashed to Cricket. We had the phone flashed back to Verizon from a local Cricket dealer. However, my data wasn't working at all. After spending 2 hours on the phone with VZW, I learned of ##778. The rep only went through two menus and only one option was different (home nid/sid). It didn't help changing it, and in fact, everytime I do *228, it just goes back to what was in there originally. So anyway...I found the security menu later that night. Noticed that HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP Password said 'cricket'. I deleted that, reboot, and then saw 1x finally pop up, but it wouldn't stick.

Changing PPP Password to vzw made 1x work, but the connection would constantly try to obtain 3g, and reset the connection so it was still unusable for the most part.

Noticed on the Eris (previous phone), those Password values were encrypted...Google research suggested a painful adventure of memory dumps, etc, etc.

Then I found another post.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2563813&postcount=32

I blanked out the two password fields, committed, then went to home sid settings (or home sid profile) and changed network type from simple ip mode to mobile ip preferred. Commit, reboot and bam! 3G was there!. I didn't have to, but a *228 may be necessary. The two password fields got updated automagically and now have encrypted values in them. Life is good.

Edit: just wanted to state that in the middle of trying to get data working, I flashed over the verizon RUU, which didn't help immediately, but may have been a compounding solution.
[XPERIA X10 General] sevryn:
Been reading this board for a few days since I got my x10 (last saturday). Major disaster today. I went out of town and I misplaced my x10. Doh.

No joke, the x10 was in a ditch UNDERWATER (at least 6 inches) for at least 30 minutes. I was calling it with another phone and I saw the x10's display in the ditch. It's definitely worth mentioning that I have the otter box case. There was definitely moisture that went in through the audio jack, but I think it protected the battery very well.

I was ****ting my pants the whole ride home. Finally when I got back, I logged on here and attempted to dry out the phone without opening it up.

After shaking all the water out the phone was buggy. The volume button kept resetting itself to zero, as if the down button was stuck. I decided I needed to open it up. I found this thread: (Thank God!!!)

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6368979

Anyways, MAJOR respectz to this board. You guys saved my ass big time! Props to Sony for putting out some respectable hardware and otter box - I'm glad I spent the 45 bucks now aren't I! LOL!

- S
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Nice!

If you want to dry out components, leave them in a bowl of uncooked rice.... it will suck up the moisture. I've fixed several phones my mom dropped in her morning coffee that way.
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
well what ilead says is a perfect solution..

thats because just drying the board the will not dry the moisture that might have made way to the internal components... also try not using the phone and keep it in the uncookd rice for atleast a couple of days..

I suggest not to use because chances are that if moisture remains it will at a later stage kill some components..

cheers

chetan
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Yes, when I read your post I immediately thought of "rice"!

You should put it in a big bown full of raw rice and cover the whole phone, after of course you have removed the battery and the back cover.

You have to leave it there for 1-2 days, even more if you are not anxious.

The more, the better! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Uhm... Beside the rice.

You should rip the phone apart and put the Mainboard for about 48hrs into a 99% isopropyl alcohol bath (Inside of a closed tupperware box, so that the isopropyl won't evaporate).

Most of the chips are UBGA soldered. Thanks to capillary forces, tiny amounts of moisture will stay underneath and begin to oxidize the soldered balls over a long period of time.

Isopropyl will also suck underneath the capillary way, mix up with the moist and will evaporate for about 100% after another 48hrs, without leaving any residues.
[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
But dont spray it with wd40 lol
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Or contact spray / switch cleaner, like someone suggested in another thread :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
That's pretty interesting...Glad your phone made it.

All these suggestions are wrong though, and it's a lot easier to fix your phone. If it was underwater for 30 mins, just put it in a fire for 30 mins, and the effects counter each other :p
[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
Haha lol...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rysky007:
Does this phone with the android soft, use .cab or .exe files to install programs?

Need to get skype for this phone, but skype's site sais it does not support it.

I have a .cab file and .exe for skype mobile, not sure which one to use for this phone, its my wives.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Before the bashing starts, I did search for the answer before posting about skype. no answers as far as I could see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OmarAta:
Hey,

First, welcome to Android world :)

2nd thing, android uses .apk files not cab or exe as windows mobile.

And about Skype, there is no "official" Skype for android till now, but you can find alternatives in the Android Market.

Regards,

Ata,
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Gavincol78:
Well there is a specific app for skype if the OP does a search for skype.android.lite.apk he should find what he is looking for I will just say that this app has been removed from the market for unknown reasons but if you need it I do have the .apk and it was a free app so it wouldn't be against the rules to post it here if you need it.

Just a word of note though it is classed as a Beta but I do suggest an app that is in the market and free called Fring and it is a much better app then the skype one

EDIT. just installed Fring to find out there is no skype in fring

EDIT 2. Skype only seems to be offically available for specific HTC phone but here is the officially supported phones (that should show up in the market for those phones)

Samsung Fascinate

Motorola Droid2

Motorola DroidX

HTC Droid Incredible

LG Ally

Motorola Devour

Motorola Droid

HTC Droid Eris

But if a google search is done the .apk can be found and works fine on the Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Try nimbuzz, skype works just fine for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OmarAta:
thanks Gavincol78,

i didn't knew that there is Skype .. thanks for the info :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GamerShots:
Skype is now available for all Android running 2.1 or later, just announced today I believe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OmarAta:
If you can't find the Skype app in your Market,

You can use MarketEnabler to fake your provider to any US carrier,

Then lunch the market and you will find the app :)

Can anyone recommend a good podcast downloader and player for the evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] quietpopcorn:
I really like DoggCatcher.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antiphon:
I use a separate player and downloader, because I haven't found one solution that meets all my needs. For downloader, I use Dpod. It's functional without being overly complicated. It has a player built in, but I prefer Mortplayer. Astro Player is also very good, possibly better than Mortplayer, but it's buggy and the UI is hideous.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Franteeko:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CUKIO34:
doggcatcher is the best.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sedracer:
Beyondpod for sure. Easy sorting and lots of options. Well worth the 7 dollars.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
I'd recommend DoggCatcher as well.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
you can use NewsRob and/or Google Listen
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scirio:
I've been using Google Listen for my podcast-listening nees but I'm not happy with it and didn't even think to see if there was better (since Listen is directly from Google.)

Seeing how few people use listen, I think I'll try some others, starting with DoggCatcher.

Listen is a Labs app, pretty much meaning beta. I always get errors and it never remembers my place in the podcast and makes me re-download the entire episode. So frustrating!

Good thread.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Franteeko:
True. Still havent decided on one. The market has a few to choose from. Im going to try out doggcatcher next and see what its like.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JvIo55iBl3r:
Guys, having a serious problem here to connect 4g network. I m working at Dallas, TX, where 4g network is available. Here is what happened.

I flashed the latest radio updates, 2.15.00.09.01 (not combination version, just radio), then I used HBoot way to update PRI to 1.77_003. Then problem showed. when I tried to connect 4G, the status looping in "turning on...scanning(in 1,2 secs)...turning off...turning on....". I started to ask questions in here and central. Meanwhile, I downgrade to 1.34_003 since there is no solution. But, strangely, the same problem showed(i pretty sure that 4g works on the 1.34_003 before).

Tonight, I heard Fresh 3.3.0.1 out, so I flashed at the first time(wipe cache & Dalvik, no data wipe yet), also flashed flipz radio zip file to 1.77_003, problem is still on. On the other hand, someone from android central suggest to delete wimax.tree.xml, i did, still no fix.

At the last and now, I wipe everything, partition sdcard, flashed fresh 3.3.0.1, then downgrade to 1.34_003. When I tried to connect 4g, at the very first time, after half-min, the status shows "unable to start 4g", if i try to connect again, the status will be in the "turning on..." forever, i have to reboot to stop it, after reboot, the status of 4g network shows "failure". I did PRI "OTA" updates (##786# Way) to 1.40_003, same situation. Now, I m really afraid I broke something, and brick my 4g connection.

anyone can give some help here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JvIo55iBl3r:
Updates:

I flashed WiMax again this morning, suprisingly, 4g status finally starts with "turning on... --> Scanning ---> Connecting to Sprint ---> Scanning". Unfortunately, it still cannot connect successfully. I tried to delete tree.xml, still doesn't work.

when on wm, i was told only vpns established on vpss based on windows server can be connected, so i hope i can connect my vpn on android. i've tried on milestone& HD 2 and succeeded. however, it still failed on android for Raphael till now. is it due to the kernel Raphael use?

Yea no body really uses a VPN except for work... and then it's not on the phone... sorry dudes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] likounin:
but VPN is available on Android for HD2, as you may know, in china, twitter,facebook,youtube and many other sites are blocked,can you imagine an internet without them? so we have to use VPN to login these sites...:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Move to a country that doesn't persecute the people for wanting to access information?

The HD2 is not only a more feature-complete port (they have camera, bt, etc working) but the phone is MUCH more powerful. Not really a fair comparison.

If you want a VPN that badly, figure out how the HD2 guys got it working and port it to our lowly MSM devices. I'm sure other Chinese nationals will appreciate your efforts!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] likounin:
Good suggestions, I'll consider later
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] tartzcr:
it is a real pity that we have so many limitations to surf the internet…what the so call freedom of talking just a joke

yes you should use us vpn

i don't need any commercial vpn services cuz i have vps and set up a vpn worked on all the devices but my raphael...

what i need is, maybe kernel update,would you offer such kind of commercial solutions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] likounin:
don't worry so much, as is confirmed, china will launch the white-list system at this end of the year, only the sites they need us to visit will be available. everyone should be registered in the government if they want internet access. at that time, we cannot even visit xda. so the general vpn won't work anymore
