[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdevil26:
I have a rooted Droid X which I'm trying (somewhat successfully) to change the fonts used by the OS. I'm using Type Fresh to rename custom fonts to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. It works with every single font I've tried with the exception of one (the one that I really want). Basically it works perfectly except any bold text comes up as extremely blurry and choppy, and just looks really bad in general. I've tried 5 other fonts and they all work fine in bold and regular.

Here's the link to the font. Is there anything special about this font that would make it work incorrectly, only in bold?

Well, never mind, I can't link because this is a new account on this site. You can find it by going to dafont.com and searching for Prototype.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp888:
I have a UK o2 JM1 SGS, if I use the reg hack to upgrade to the Nordic 2.2 now, will I be able to use a Hack to then apply the 2.2 UK rom while already on 2.2?

Would I have to go back to JM1 then go to UK 2.2? I don't have 3BR mode on my phone so I cannot risk using Odin.

I don't know how android applies it updates, if it like windows applying a service pack and updating files? or is it like an iPhone where it just wipes and copies a complete new rom on?

Thanks

As the title says when I do something while my desire is charging ( quadrant YouTube Internet ect.) it reboots into a bootloop which can only be fixed by taking the battery our or removing the charger Any one know how to fix and also my desire looses 30% battery when I'm not using it it's getting very annoying and may need to send it off to htc

Your Desire is most likely overheating. Send it off for warranty repair, make sure you've got a stock ROM installed otherwise your warranty will be void.

Good luck!
[Desire General] Nitin985:
But my desire is not overheating it dies reboot when it is and I'm fine about that it's only when charging btw I am rooted and I really don't want to send it off but thanks anyway
[Desire General] green_archer:
Ok there are two types of reboot issue based from the threads here:

1. Due to overheating in the antenna area

2. Random rebooting

In some cases, you can experience both (like mine). It looks like yours is #2. Bring it to HTC center asap as the rebooting goes crazier as time goes.
[Desire General] Nitin985:
How do you find out where you're nearest repair centre is
[Desire General] krohme:
go to HTC's website, get the relevant contact details for your country, they will arrange for someone to come pick up the phone from you. :)

Thanks will be doing that any help with battery problems
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPGbig:
I was trying to flash 2.2 over Bionix with the custom kernals, didnt work and for someone reason the phone wont recognize sd cards anymore either.... tried 3 and none worked.

I get to the stock recovery and it will recognize the adb thing but when I enter that odin thing my computer doesnt notice the phone.

Anyone got any idea what I should do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Install the drivers relevant for your PC from the ODIN thread and give it a try, try changing the USB ports. Many of them on these complained about this, patience helps. Make sure, you reboot your pc between, uninstall of drivers.

What's options do I have with regard to upgrading my ROM ? Currently running the original Win mob 6.1, what other good/stable cooked roms are avilable for download ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acslam:
I tried on incredible forum and got someone asking if I've tried the obvious. PPCgeeks hasn't had any replies yet, and google searches only return me to my own threads! So....I'm trying my luck with you guys.

I've got an incredible, and was running the stock 2.1, rooted, and I had the phone set to automount the storage as a disk drive whenever connected to USB. Due to a bug in 2.1, whenever you set it up to mount automatically like this, ONLY the SD card was seen as a drive, and the phone storage portion was not available. You could make them both available, but not automatically.

This was PERFECT for me, because I have a car stereo that accepts USB disk drives, and all my music was on the SD card. The one limitation of the stereo is that it only reads the first available partition. Nothing I can do to change it. So, with that setup, it mounted only the SD, the stereo saw only the SD, and I was in music heaven.

So I got virtuous 3.01 loaded on there, and I love froyo.....except....they fixed the mounting bug, and now the phone properly presents BOTH the SD card and "phone storage" when it's plugged into USB. And of course, phone storage is the first presented partition. End result is my car stereo now CANNOT see ANY music stored on the phone. Worse yet, since it takes the phone some time to do this, the stereo doesn't always recognize that a usb drive is even plugged in, where the timing was absolutely perfect before and it picked it up every time.

This seems like it should be extremely simple, like there should be some setting in the phone to mount only one single partition when plugged into a usb port. But for some reason, after days of searching, I can't find this anywhere - everyone always has the opposite problem and wants to make it mount everything.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a setting (most preferable - since I know it worked under 2.1, I know the phone must be capable of this at the OS layer), an app, or SOMETHING, that just straight up automounts ONLY the SD card when plugged into USB?

Under 2.1, with the "bug", it worked FLAWLESSLY. Every time I got into the car, plugged it in, and bang, music. I don't wanna give up froyo because of this, but it's pretty frustrating. I hope maybe someone can show me what I've missed!

Hi all,

I have a nice 16GB Class 10 SD card here for my Galaxy S, but I am unable to partition/format it correctly under Linux. I keep getting "sd card blank or has unsupported file system" when I insert it into my Galaxy S.

(I tried formatting it ext4, since that's supposed to be a pretty snappy/supported file system)

I am able to format it with the phone, but then I get vfat... :(

How can I get it formatted ext4 and recognized by the phone?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zion69:
I'm pretty new in this and I know that probably most of you guys know how to fix these issues. I was running CM6 stable before, but after a couple of weeks of using it I had decided to go back to the sprint stock firmware. Now I am thinking of going back again to CM 6 so I would like to know if some of you can help me out and tell me how to do it. These are somes of the issues that I have had:

1. After some minutes of being using Bluetooth, it disconnects.

2. I had an issue with the gps similar to the one with the bluetooth (it gets disconnected after seconds to being connected)

3. The phone frooze up a couple of times after deleting a photo from the galery right after taking it.

4. Problems with the market. The applications were not downloading properly.

5. Issues to sync contacts with facebook, were not updating after sync the contact.

6. The text messages were not working properly when it was a long message.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
1. Unsure about this, I don't use it.

2. There is a fix for this that involves downloading gps status from the market. Details in the stable thread.

3. I think the gallery issue is still there, but only if you access it from the camera. Just exit out and then go to gallery.

4. Since I've updated my prl I haven't had the market problems.

5. New one for me, sorry, I don't know.

6. Download handcent. Set it to split 160 or more character texts. Then, it should work.

Hope this helps. :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkimmortal:
Bought it over the Desire on reviews, looks and GPU.

After seeing how laggy the Desire is first hand and how horrible it looks, I don't regret my choice one bit. The Galaxy S is an incredible phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hol17:
Used to have an HTC Magic (heavily modified) and I needed something else since ROGERS wasn't being good to me and HTC was trying to lock out the SPL. I switched to Bell because of their deals and got the Galaxy S because of it's interface, open recovery, style, and feel.

GPS: It's perfectly fine for me, never had a problem and it tracks perfectly. People seem to have problems but I don't see them with mine.

Laggy: Feels perfectly smooth, I came from an HTC Magic and going to a Galaxy S is night and day; it feels great for me. Some people are just hopping onto the band wagon saying it's laggy and forcing themselves to believe that, others though legitimately have lag, although I am not one.

SD: Everything goes into the internal memory; no A2SD yet until Froyo (official) comes out everywhere then it might have it, but as of now, no A2SD.

Well, if you observe the first page of xda, there are 100people viewing NOne forums, 120 HTC Desire, and...

500 or more on Galaxy S,

don`t know if this means problems or popularity, just a tip..:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hol17:
Try to remember that Galaxy S is on A LOT of providers meaning we have people of all kinds on the Galaxy S forum compared to NOne where you had to buy full price from Google themselves or Desire where it's only on one/few providers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliett:
I got the Galaxy S for it's specs. I live in Canada so phones like the Evo and Droid X were out of range for me because of CDMA. Galaxy S, with it's nice screen, good processor, and GPU seemed like a natural choice for me for my first smartphone (especially since I play games and watch movies on my phone alot.

Although there are problems with the GPS, I've found it to be usable and secondary GPS programs like CoPilot seem to make the problem a little softer. In terms of some lag, there are multiple lag fixes that can be applied.

Only thing I don't like with the phone is the looks. Everyone who sees it thinks I have an Iphone :mad:

All in all a good phone with a lot of potential if you're willing to put the time into it (which was actually sort of fun for me) and don't mind the looks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
It depends what you want it for. The screen for me is by far the main selling point, but as an all round device I honestly couldn't recommend it to anyone. Sounds harsh, but I've just sold mine and got an n1, and the n1 runs rings round it I'm afraid.

The sgs simply has too many niggly bugs which waters down the ownership experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veetip:
I bought my Galaxy S because it seemed like the best phone on the market, even with the issues you can read on the internet, including these forums.

It came with JM2 firmware and I have to say that it worked surprisingly well after reading all that stuff about lag: I barely experienced any lag at all and there weren't many bugs. The biggest complaints I had were about KIES and faults with Android in general. Of course, it would have been nice to have a phone with less crapware (Aldiko eBook? Layar?) installed on stock firmware.

In overall, JM2 was a pleasant version to be on - the biggest lag I experienced was when rebooting the phone (and that was annoying - it took minutes to get it functional)!

However, that didn't excuse Samsung's delays on Froyo. Now that it's here, I installed it right away - and I can't say that I was very pleased at first.

As my phone booted to the new version, everything was intact except my homescreen. I can deal with that - but after I played around more it seemed very laggy in general. The new zoomout feature in the app drawer ran at a maximum of 10 frames per second. The Market was missing.

This is obviously inexcusable for an update that is supposed to fix issues and is touted as "improving performance" in a Samsung press release. Especially the issue of Android Market just missing - how is the average customer going to figure out how to get it back?

I simply caved in and did a factory reset after backing up some stuff. I'm glad to say that this restored my phone to how it was on JM2 - very responsive in general. I used AppBrain to tap through tens of install dialogs to get all my apps back, and now it's just like before.

In overall I can recommend the phone, but Samsung can (and needs to) do better. On the hardware side, three things: the plastic back cover creaks too much (but I use a silicon case, so that's not an issue for me). A camera flash would be nice, and a dedicated button for it would make shooting pictures easier too.

The lag issue seems to be more of an problem with Samsung's marketing department than with their engineers - it wouldn't look good to ditch their own filesystem. But then again, in my personal experience I believe that complaints about it are greatly exaggerated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
I'm from canada, still running original rom (2.1 JH2)

got it for the quality of the pictures; Night mode is amazing, the pictures I've taken with it shows more than my own eyes!! I was sceptical at first because of the lack of flash light, but francly, a flash can only light a certain part... Night mode shows it all!!

also 3D processor is wayyyy more than anything else out there. you can do anything graphic on this baby! Videos are fluent, using gallery, taking pictures, gaming, etc!

Only down part I can see is the GPS (at first) is kind of all over the place. Not realy helpfull when you're using the device to keep track of run (workout and such), but after fidling with the settings, it's pretty descent!

bonus was the amazing Super Oled...this thing is bright and precise! Also, the device is pretty thin (the thinnest around?), since the display and the touch sensor are all integrated.

And you can see more "activity" in the SGS section for the main reason that they sold 5 millions of those babyes, surely you'll get more activity than most (not selling as much). And, on android, more users means more devloppers!

The bad part of sgs is that there are phones that are bad.

They are like small computers and do sometimes not what they should.

The good part is that you get the best hardware any phone has.

I do own iphone to. But sgs bet them on all area accept for apps.

Sgs has a fantastic screen.

Its nice to handel.

If you like to tweak and take time to learn about the phone. You can't get any better phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madic:
For me the SGS is disappointing.

My main reason to buy this phone was the hardware.

It realy has great specs and outperforms any other phone.

But when it comes to daily use it's not as reliable.

I read that GPS wasn't that good but nevertheless decided to buy this phone.

I had hope that it can be fixed. But for me, the GPS is completely unreliable.

In car it takes ages till I get a lock. And during the drive it's most of the time ~10m behind me.

And when I am not constantly on the route that it suggests me, it losts the lock and need to find me again, which takes ages.

I can't use any function that relays on GPS.

The last days I have more problems than ever. Even standing on the street it doesn't get any lock.

Thinking to buy me a "slower" but more reliable smartphone, like the HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
It has some goddamn software issues. ( lag, gps. )

But it's probably the only affordable device that has a WORKING multitouch controller, and it also has the most powerful GPU, and a CPU that matches the best. ( It's actually slightly better, but JIT isn't optimised for Hummingbird :( )

So it's some bloody good hardware that goes with some not to good software to make an alright phone.

With a fair bit of tinkering/rooting/etc the phone is easily the best at the moment.
