[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BronzedDroid:
Hi. I know that I'm not the only one plagued by this problem:

When trying to use USB tethering on my i9000, I get disconnected every 3 minutes or so. I know I can use Wifi tethering, but the computer I'm trying to use this with, does not have wifi (it's a workstation).

I am on Doc Rom XXJPX (fairly new)

Here's a fellow with the same problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798025

I have two questions regarding this problem:

1) Have anyone found a solution?

if not:

2) Does other tethering apps work better? Examples include pdanet and easytether (are there any free tethering apps without restrictions?).

for making the browser compatible with non-english fonts

do this simple steps

Download .TTF version of your font on your pc (Use Google)

rename the file to DroidSansFallback.ttf

replace this file with the file in your phone /system/fonts

and you're done

or use this code

adb push DroidSansFallbxack.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSansFallbxack.ttf

====> FONT PACK

MICROSOFT UNICODE FONT PACK

It contains most of the fonts (atleast that's what microsoft claims

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q287247/)

====> SCREENSHOT

The Above Font is Gujarati (I'm using the microsoft font pack)

The fonts won't be exact grammatically as you wish but they will be readable (way better than the BOXES)

[Touch Pro CDMA] Racky:
I have a Touch Pro CDMA version and it refuses to start.

The PC won't recognise it, and the only 'alive sign' is when I put it to charge, then the white cercle blinks. Any idea what to do ? Is it dead ?
[Desire General] claudioita:
Many times I am traveling abroad. Roaming charges are horrible (40 Euro 2 hours surfing, unbelievable, no?) , and WiFi many times is not present.

I could use the internet connection of my notebook (many hotels do not have wifi but do have LAN).

I wish I could share the internet connection of my laptop.

How can I do.

So far I tried:

connectify: does not work

virtual router: does not work

I see now that Desire HD with HTC Sync is able to do that. Maybe using a DHD ROM on the Desire will do the trick?

Other solutions?
[Desire General] tp-archer:
I confirm the Internet passthrough is working fine over USB with baadnewz's DHD ROM v1.3.

Another potential solution would be to carry your own WiFi router and plug it into the LAN port...
[Desire General] mr.r9:
Yep internet pass through is working in the HD roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BronzedDroid:
Are there any applications that can save/backup the market links for all my installed applications? This would be very handy when flashing!

I don't wish to backup the apps themselves, just the market links, so that when I flash, I can install the apps one by one from market. This way, I know I get a fresh install and the newest updates.

In advance, thanks!

I have just re downloaded all my apps using AppBrain as usual .

Might need to make a new list if you have updated your phone . But thats as simple as using old list and click on install button .

Alternative is to use root explorer and copy the APKs to your computer .

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malakaaa:
Hello Guys,

I know a lot of people asked this in past. But I couldn't find any solution for that. Someone that it's this and others said it's something else.

My question is: Why is the HD video recording quality so bad compared to the iPhone. I mean both have cameras which are of the same company (read that somewhere). And also the processors have the same power.

So why is the video recording on HTC Desire sometimes so laggy and has badder colors? Is it only something that has to do with the developing? Or what is it?

And the most important question is there anyone who solved the problems?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malakaaa:
No one who has an idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue1k:
Quality of lens and sensor optics.

But to be honest the iPhone 4 camera is junk compared to the N8. I have both phones and the N8 is simply amazing.
[Nexus S General] adnanbaig18:
I am currently on 2.3. And I was thinking of updating to 2.3.1 but can someone please explain is it safe and stable??? And pls someone explain what are the actual updates in 2.3.1 over the 2.3.0. I have heard that there is improvement in browser (like less lag in scrolling etc.) Is it as smooth as iphone? Can someone confirm it? And should i go for the update?

Cheers...
[Nexus S General] adnanbaig18:
C'mon guys, can anyone here just answer my question? What are the exact changes from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1, and is it worth upgrading? Coz i will only update if there is no lag in browser after that. Coming from iphone 4 i see a significant lag in the browser otherwise the phone is quite good and lives up to the hype. A quick and thorough reply will be highly appreciated.

Also suggest me some good exclusive android apps, if possible.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
really man, cmon its an official update from Google..why wouldnt you update...
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
All reports say that its just bug fixes and updates Google Maps to version 5.

More specifically Paul @ MoDaCo says about the update, "Super quick Nexus S OTA update (GRH78) analysis -changes to framework.jar, kernel and Maps.apk. That's about it."

That's about as specific as you're going to get short of Google publishing an official changelog.
[Nexus S General] brademcee:
Since I have updated to 2.3.1 I have a lot of apps missing from the market. I would read the thread about missing apps before I update. It is 4 days later and they are still missing.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Google has their work cut out for them; there are a slew of bugs/issues/glitches with Gingerbread. Looking forward to 2.3.2.

I am new to the Nexus line (in other words, I never owned a Nexus One); how often do these minor updates get sent out? The 2.3.x ones.
[Nexus S General] adnanbaig18:
Thanks for the replies at last guys. My main concern with 2.3.1 is the bugs associated with it, like missing apps from market and stuff. And i wanted to know more about such issues before upgrading. I am new to Nexus S and even with Android as an OS. I am quite impressed with it as a platform but i must say it's not as smooth of an experience as iphone, these small glitches and bugs are quite annoying to say the least.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I think as a general rule with a vanilla Android phone, if reliability is your main concern, incremental updates are probably a good thing, but you may want to think twice about going to a new version of the OS. That's the trouble with being on the cutting edge, you're liable to get wounded. I expect it'll be several updates yet before all the kinks in Gingerbread are worked out.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
My main issues with Gingerbread are the random ringtone changes, difficulty in moving app icons on the home screen, sometimes disappearing icons after attempting to move them, some scrolling lag/issues, weird gallery issues like missing photos or photos in odd orders, etc.

These are recurring issues that primarily only happen with Gingerbread - for example, I can move app icons perfectly fine with AWD.

Gingerbread needs far more bug fixed than what 2.3.1. brought.
[Nexus S General] Laxe:
I just got my Nexus S today and also have the missing media bug in the gallery! Twice it's happened where there'd be nothing displayed in my gallery apart from the last picture taken with the camera! Only hard restarts have solved this so far...

[Legend Android Development] Rexton270:
First of all MERRY XMAS to everyone :D :D :D

Got HTC Legend with FroYo 2.2 installed (RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_160328_signed).

Now the problem is that there's ONLY 3 languages : English,French and Italian.

(btw, same thing with my HTC Desire Z).

On My HTC Desire (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed) I have all languages.

Can somebody tell me which ROM contains the full language pack?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
How many languages are presented to you depends on your phone's CID and it doesn't mean that there are only those available. Install MoreLocale 2 and choose whichever language and country you want...
[Legend Android Development] Rexton270:
Thanx for reply BlaYo,but I'm after WWE stock ROM and this looks like regional/branded ROM...

I know about More Locale,but need "generic" ROM. Also Gingerbread keyboard keep FC on current ROM,but my friend has no problem...
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
I'm afraid you don't fully understand how this works. It is WWE, but it has configurations for every single CID that is supported by WWE. For example I have HTC__032 and configuration for this CID contains languages only for eastern EU countries. So I don't get to choose French, Italian, German etc. but only Czech, Polish, Russian...

Those configuration files are stored in /system/customize/CID and as you mentioned Desire, it obviously doesn't have separate configuration for your CID so your system chooses default configuration which contains all languages...
[Legend Android Development] Rexton270:
I am after that ROM which you have :D It has something to do in the ROM's spec (3.15.405.3 has different languages from 3.15.405.5).

Any chance to upload it somewhere or link to get RUU???

I dont have any problem
[Desire HD General] dwarf:
Me too wished I hadn't bothered.
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Glad I am not the only one, so fare I tried to disable incoming text notifications and then reboot. After reboot I enabled them again. changed nothing. Thing is I find the problem to be totally random. Dose it sometimes and its not for the same contacts.
[Desire HD General] noisy_lightning:
I have had the same thing with the notifications, but along with it I am not getting notifications for half of my texts, I only notice I have some of them my manually looking into the messages app.

Tried rebooting, changing the notification settings etc and nothing works!
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Have the same problem. Exactly every second SMS does not have any notification! Sometimes it vibrates, but there is no notification in the statusbar...so I have to open the SMS-App.

Now I will miss every important SMS and I have to check all 10-20min to be sure -.-

Hope there will be a fix!
[Desire HD General] iopy:
Got the same bug. This is a major bug, and htc have to relese a bugfix asap! This bug makes the phone useless. Can't thrust the phone anymore...
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Yes I have always to check if there is a new SMS!

My DHD has now the functionality of a rock!
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
having the same issue. hope there is a solution soon. i sent an official complaint to htc about this and would advise other people to contact them too.
[Desire HD General] Krullos:
Same problem here too... is this a universal problem for those who have updated?
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
I also have founders problem when using the mail app. I have a hotmail and gmail account linked. When I have the all acount view on angst an email I go and read it but the notification is still there. Also wanted to add that for both mail bad messages I have the notification light in use.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I guess im really lucky. I updated and have had no problems whatsoever. Not even that 100% CPU bug. I couldnt be happier. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i followed hamdir's guide to install the update and keep root and s-off.
[Desire HD General] iopy:
The sms-bug isn't there all the time. I've only got two txtmsg that didn't trigger the alert. And I got a lot of txtmsgs. But the two that didn't trigger the txtmsg receive notification was two important txtmsg, so I no longer can trust my phone.

I do not have the 100 cpu load issue. So it has nothing to do with that. My battery is just as good as I think a battery should be on a phone in this class. The only thing that really drains my battery is the Angry Bird Seasons. But I'm addicted, so I keep on playing :D
[Desire HD General] noisy_lightning:
Same here, its completely random which messages it happens with and it is not the same people that trigger it too. So far I have seen no pattern to the messages with, for example it is not every fourth message etc, they happen at random intervals and the only time I know there is one is when I actually open the inbox.

This needs fixing asap!
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Just like to say 1. I have a dhd sim free on official Rom. 2. With regards my notification problem the best way to save you having to clear the notification bar after you read the text is it to access your text via notifications bar in the first place.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
looks like i spoke too soon.. someone sent me a sms and i hadn't seen it cause the phone didnt notify me. Only when i went into the messages app it showed :/

edit: and now im getting the notification stuck in the bar at the top :( HTC need to get on this.
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
its a very random issue. started happening to me after i deleted my HTC sense account (and then reinstalled it) after doing the OTA update to deal with the 100% CPU issue
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Can confirm that trying a different messaging app from the market will fix both problems. The one with stuck notification in the bar and the one where you don't get a notification. Just make sure to disable notifications in the stock app.
[Desire HD General] iopy:
Ty! I'll try that out later.
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Go SMS will do the job.
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Bit poor you need to do that to get your sms working. Never had this problem on the desire.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
these sort of things can happen. That's just the way software development is. Having had some experience with development there's plenty of ways some function or feature could break when you tinker with your code. We should consider ourselves lucky that HTC has a great track record in fixing bugs in a timely manner because if we were with Samsung or Motorola we would probably be stuck with these problems. I trust HTC will sort it out. But hey, at least we have a workaround for now..
[Desire HD General] roundyuk:
Same issue here, hope HTC bring a fix out soon!!! :-(
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
ive not updated because im happy with my phone how it is at the moment. not got any problems with it at all. i turned 3g off and i now get 60 hours battery from it with wifi always on, facebook+weather sync @1hour, push gmail, and screen on a 3rd.

currently at 73% battery after 23 hours. just over 1% an hour, which with an hour of angry brids, 3 hours web browsing and 30 text messages, +all the sync's, i think its pretty good. :)
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I also keep 3g always off.. but get nowhere near your hours. More like 20-25 hours with moderate to heavy use. Its just that the screen sucks so much battery. It's always around 80% usage in battery stats. This is why I haven't seen much improvement with the latest updates.
[Desire HD General] Codana:
Over night 75% -> 15%. In 8 hours...
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Got this email from HTC regarding the sms problems

Im not sure what's this 'safe mode' they are referring to. If we restart and hold vol down then wont that just take us to fastboot?

Also we already know that a factory reset hasn't solved the problem, and im doubtful a soft reset will either.
[Desire HD General] coinstar:
Thanks for sharing, but it seems that HTC aren't aware of this problem. I still wonder what they mean by "safe mode".
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
In my original email i stressed to them that many are experiencing these problems and even gave them a link to this thread. So i hope they they'll get it. Either way i sent them my software info and i suggest you guys do too.
[Desire HD General] oggins:
just recieved e-mail back from HTC, saying the same, try soft reset or if that doesnt work try hard reset, it deffo seems they arent fully aware of this problem yet...:(
