I have a weird problem on my Touch HD. Using Opera, if I google a subject and access the page found, the font is screwed. (rectangles and zeros). Same on Google news. Summary items all OK, but retrieving full text on SOME sites is screwed. If I go directly to a page WITHOUT googling it, results are OK. If I use IE, all is OK - news items fine.
This was all working fine until two days ago. (for six months). It appears that Google is somehow either setting a dodgy font, or a font that it selects was working, but is not now. I have not knowingly installed anything new, nor changed the config. Has Google changed?
I would really appreciate some help here please.

Not sure if this will help the font sometimes gets screwed up and ends up being wingdings font, but usually only when trying to type in a forum for instance
Your case seems a little different but you could try typing 'ABOUT:CONFIG'
and have a look at the fonts menu
Hope that helps

You can also try changing the default Tacoma font in the registry.
Try this site for reference on editing System fonts in Windows Mobile. I know it's about adding Korean fonts, but the method still works for changing the default font to Segoe UI. (just skip the part about adding Gulim fonts).

thanks for suggestions
Hi . THanks to both of you for replying. Ozmoran, I checked the Fonts and all are either Tacoma or Courier. Not having changed these I am puzzled why I have this problem unless Google has changed the way it delivers pages. I posted this on Google support (one reply says Opera at fault), and Opera support seems non-exisitant. SCSCC3, I tried the link to update the fonts but it's dead I'm afraid, and I'm not sure I understand why you suggested a change to Segoe UI?. I am really at a losss to explain why all HD touch users aren't having the same problem if the problem is down to Google? So much so that I assume it must be something that has happened to me, so maybe the next step is to restore from my Sprite backup image and see what happens.
solved eventually
Well, I restored from backup to one week ago, well before the time when I first saw this problem. This did not solve the issue. Then I downloaded and installed Opera MObile 9.7 beta. Installed that, and although it didn't replace the version loaded from the Touchflo icon, when run from Programs menu, it worked OK, and all sites loaded OK. What is really interesting is that when I tried the original Opera again.....it worked fine!! Perhaps the new Opera downloaded some fonts? Anyone know how to make the TouchFlo icon load the new version?

? The link works fine for me..
But I'm glad you got it sorted out eventually..
Hi scscc3
Link is working for me now too. ... site must have been down earlier for some reason. I'll look at it anyway, so thanks for the information.
When you click on a Link from google, Google generates a Mobile version of the Website you visit. At the end of the page there must be a Link to show the site originally!

Hi
I am currently having this problem as well.All of a sudden any mobile friendly web pages are displaying squares and circles(font problem).
I have tried flashing new ROM,tried to hard reset the device and even tried to download opera 9.7b but unfortunately to no avail
Any help appreciated a this i now annoying
Just noticed the same thing is happening with my HD. It's only happened recently, the only common link i can see is that i Installed and then removed Oper 9.7beta. I have now re-installed and fonts still displaying as squares and circles.... Very frustrating!
saga goes on..
Well I thought I'd sorted this out. As per post above, all was working after installing Opera 9.7b. Two hours later....squares and zeros again - in old AND new Opera pages! I uninstalled then reinstalled 9.7b. Still the same issue. This is all very odd indeed. In the end I have had to change config in Google to uncheck the "phone" formatting. That fixes the issue, BUT this has always been on before, and definitely was when it seemed to be working for a while. I can't help but conclude that Google has changed some aspect of the way pages are delivered, in a way that Opera doesn't handle, and that IE does. I have logged a bug with Opera for this.

I came to a similar conclusion, changed my google default settings from mobile to regular page viewing. Since there are a few of us with the problem and it persists after ROM flash and hard reset it must be a fault googles end.
Not sure we can conclude that. It does seem that Google have changed something, BUT IE works fine. It's a question of whether the change is something that adhers to accepted standards, or not. If it does, and the fact that IE works would suggest it is OK, then Opera is where the fault lies. Of course there is the possibility that it is a change outside accepted protocols, that works on IE, but it is interesting to note that Skyfire works fine as well. If I get any feedback from Opera I will post here. If anyone wants to chase Google to get them to say what they have changed then please do!
Looks bad for Opera!
PS I was not that impressed with Skyfire Display quality was not good, and it's very slow to start up.
Since nothing has changed with Opera the only change can come from Google's side that does not agree with something in Opera.
Agreed skyfire is handy in how it streams every media type, but not having WVGA resolution and its archaic IE style interface makes it a no-no for me.
I've also been having the same problem on the TP2 as of the last week or so. Exactly the same circumstances as others have mentioned and I'm now curious as to what is the problem.
Same problem here for a week or so. Have been on Duttys R8 since it came out but the problem only started recently. Flashed to Duttys R11 and the problem is still there.
i'm also having the same problem, very annoying. can't work out how to change google so it no longer uses mobile formatiing. could someone point me in the right direction?
i can see at the bottom of the page you can view in ''Mobile¦Classic', but there must be a way for it to 'remember' this setting, so i dont have to scroll to the bottom and click it every time i do a search
Thanks
I'm having that problem with Google Maps. It's in this tiny script; can't really read it.
the config that works
You need to change your google settings first. Go into Opera browser and start google. Then select "settings" on google home page, and turn OFF the "Format Web Pages for your Phone" option. Then go into Opera config screen and choose "display". Set the "Mobile view" option on. This works for me, with all web pages I retrieve displaying correct data, and the pages are formatted to suit the phone. Good luck, and if anyone gets to the bottom of why google changed something, I'd love to know! The fault may be with Opera, but it all used to work with the above settings reversed.
Anyone got buzz.google.com working on the Nexus One? I always get the desktop view when I go to that site.
and I have Cyanogen 5.0Beta4. I seem to lost the ability to use mobile websites like espn, instead i get the full desktop version.
Thanks

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess

Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Yes, it is because the market app, or something along those lines, is making the market think you are not in a place that you can legally buy those apps or something like that. It is a part of this being an alpha stage ROM.
IIRC, some people tried installing the market from the google apps pack in the CM ROM thread, but I haven't tried and didn't see what the results were of that.

Oh well the hazards of running with the newest I guess...
Speaking of, I notice that syncing contacts to the phone using this build isn't really working either. Missing sync says it pushed 202 contacts but when you go view, non of them show up. So I guess big lol on that part, I actually ahve to use sim contacts for once...

Mine synced fine, but I have noticed a lot of sync issues.
ie, Picasa "syncs" but doesn't save the pictures. It is clear there is a lot of alpha to this.

Very true I might stick with this for another day and go back to CM for now.
Not worth the hassle at this point. Although finally having navigation working is a pretty big bonus.
Sorry in advance if these have already been pointed out and/or fixed.
I'm aware that this is a leaked beta but i'm having some strange issues.
Mainly being the market not downloading apps. I can browse the internet, browse the market, but nothing will download.
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Also, i was quite disappointed with the fact that they did next to nothing to the absolutely terrible camera. The shutter speed appears to have improved *slightly* but pictures are still far too sharp and over saturated.
On the other hand, i do like the 720p filming
Another thing i noticed is that interacting with the live wallpapers is way off. When you press the 'Nexus' live wallpaper, the actual 'hit' is almost an inch out. Not a huge deal, just something that's annoying me.
On the plus side, the live wallpapers are incredibly smooth. A lot smoother than on my Nexus, god knows how dell managed that!
But my main hate, the one that annoys me to no end, is that you can now only have 6 icons in landscape. Wtf was the point in that dell? You took the best thing about this phone and made it worse!
Apart from alllll those things, i'm absolutely loving the 2.1 update (especially the dialler) but because of the above mentioned things i'm getting tempted to go back to 1.6. I need to download things dammit!
Another 2 issues that bothered me were the crap keyboard which is VERY slow and if you rush it you get mistypes, sometimes I have to press the same button twice as it did nothing the first time and I get a spelling mistake in every word, the keyboard is messed up.
Anyway to get the superior keyboard from the previous 1.6 with the lovely numpad?
Secondly, there are some problems with the wallpaper/homescreens. There is no way to add or remove them, seems I'm stuck with 6.
I tried to set a simple wallpaper on say screen one and it stretches right outside the screen and fills all 6 screens up, why??!!
I am using the same wallpapers before that are specially for the streak and are set at 800X480 and it stretches one pic across all screeens and it looks distorted, why?
Before I upgraded, I could go to screen one, put a wallpaper, it would fit fine and only in one screen, not fill the other ones too.
Can ANYONE think why this is or even a fix to this problem?
At the moment I have more problems with 2.1 than 1.6...
Glad to see I'm not the only one with these issues. I can't stand the new keyboard, driving me mad but I'll survive. I don't like the new layout of the icons and the fact you can no longer have multiple backgrounds is a shame. Also I've noticed certain widgets just won't sit in the centre of the home screens any more.
I'm hoping because this is a leak that Dell haven't added their personal touches yet and that this will come when they go official otherwise I'll be a sad panda!

Yeah, I guess we have to stick with what we have until it's officially released.
At least we have SOME improvements...
The portions you mention I have not had. It sounds like you have a few issues with your install.
With regards to we everthing else, 2.1 ain't perfect but its a tonne better than the 1.6

Of course by portions I mean problems....the swype keyboard although better its still far from perfect

Hi Meltus
If your Google E-Mail account is Googlemail change it to gmail by logging in through your computer and use the option to change it to a gmail address and that has fixed the Market problems for me and some others hope it works for you.

Any one else having issues that when talking on the phone with headphones in if you press the lock button it hangs up the call? Found something that drives me even more mad than the keyboard lol.
Not sure what I am doing wrong , but I can't seem to use any 3rd party keyboards ? They install OK , I can select them , but then when I go to use them , the Dell one pops up. (Any ideas ? )
The only issue I noticed , is that the Sleep/wake button stops working properly occasionally , instead of putting the device to sleep , it dims the screen , but the screen stays on ,
Not sure what is going on here , I think the phone may "think" its asleep , as the live wallpaper stops moving , but the screen is definately still awake.
The only way out is to reboot by taking the battery cover off !
Seems an isolated problem I don't have any problem downloading just that some games wont work - more importantly launcherpro looks very strange with tiny icons! Spread a across the screen with Hugh gaps.

However, I do believe if you change to Gmail from Googlemaill, any apps you bought with your Googlemail account are NOT carried over.
Hence you have to purchase again, this is why I haven't made the switch yet, until that issue is resolved I will be staying as Googlemail.

Exactly the same problem here.
And to change keyboards, you select it and long press a text box (like in messages) then you pick the keyboard you want from there.
Anyway, i fixed my market problem by changing my e-mail from 'googlemail' to 'gmail' (thanks doggman) and then wiping the phone. Not sure which made it work, or whether it was a combination of both, but it's working good now
Issues I've noticed so far: (Maybe nitpicking but I'm comparing it to all my other Androids)
- Live Wallpaper could be smoother. It's pretty smooth but on such a large screen, little glitches are very noticeable.
- Though the keyboard is a lot more comfortable to use without the numpad throwing the right thumb off, the responsiveness is gone from the previous keyboard. But I'm sticking with it cause its alot better looking than 'Better Keyboard' or 'Smart Keyboard'
- No pinch-to-zoom on pictures in the gallery...very disappointing
- Pinch-to-zoom for maps is there, but responsiveness needs work. Almost as bad as Blackberry Torch's pinch-to-zoom. HAHAHA
- Photos seem more saturated than when it was running 1.6. Even affects photos when being used as 'Picture Frame' widget.
- Aside from the saturation of pictures though, the screen display overall is impressive. Quality has improved, sharpness has improved, the HD-feel is there for the home screens. I could even say that it is comparable to the iPhone 4, and better than the Galaxy S display. Theres room for improvements though... better font for icon titles, increase sharpness, less colour overflow.

I've got a problem that's not related to GPS but locations. When I'm at home, the weather widget says my location is Sweden, however, Google Maps finds almost my exact location (two streets away or so). If I take a one km walk it finds the location and says Stockholm. I tried re-installing the locations software with no luck. Maybe my phone doesn't like my flat? :S

If you read what I actually said I clearly state that it's a problem with the weather widget (which naturally does display weather)
I have a different, but frustrating issue:
On the clock widget where you also can see your location and the weather:
I live in a town called Geldrop in the Netherlands, which always showed on the clock widget, including the weather corresponding to this town.
Now since a couple of days (do not know when exactly)...it just says: 'current location'...when I select the widget, bring it to the left bottom on the homescreen to edit it, I cannot select Geldrop anymore, it says it does not exist.....
My girlfriend has a DHD as well, and hers still says Geldrop.
Now, I do have flashed Leedroid, kernels etc, etc, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it...but is anyone able to point me in the direction of the solution?

The problem I'm experiencing only seems to appear when I'm in Stockholm, nowhere else.
I had the same problem with it saying "Current Location" before too, both on the DHD and my old WM. It solved itself eventually. However, the reason Geldrop doesn't "exist" is because it's not added in the built in database that comes from HTC. Because of this, you'll only see Geldrop when it's your current location since it gets the name of the location via AGPS and then looks it up on Acuweather.com. There's a program to edit the database for WM which I used to add Opitter in Belgium with, but I don't know if there's one for Android.

Yes, but the fact that your girlfriends phone finds the location while yours doesn't is very strange since it's the same device. I will report this tomorrow.
Another thing that's strange is the weather animation for fog. On the weather tab it says FOG with black letters all over the animation while this text is not visible on the clock widget. I asked HTC about this and they said it's all as it should be. Seems strange to me though.

It is strange....it is not a big issue, but would like to see Geldrop, rather than Eindhoven.
When you say 'will report this' what do you mean?

Contact their dev support.
Okey, so I mailed HTC today and they told me to remove the ip for the Proxy and port from the API, which seemed a bit strange to me, and to my disappointment it only made it worse by saying "Connection failed". Yey!
I am having the exact same problem, my original htc weather widget shows only "Sweden". This happened since the upgrade to 2.2.
I'm pretty sure the weather information is correct though. Since I've compared it to other weather apps and widgets. I've switched to beautiful widgets temporarily (well for a couple of months now), and there it shows even the parts of stockholm if I move around. Right now it's showing Fruängen which is correct.
I remember reading about some problem with the htc weather widget long ago on the modaco forums when 2.2 came. I don't think it's fixed yet (at least from HTCs side).

Yeah. That was my argument too when I spoke to HTC, but they said it's Googles fault even though Google maps finds my location correctly. They didn't accept it as their fault and therefore they didn't even file a report about it to the developers.
Badly handled HTC!

Hello,
I've got a similar problem with weather widget and location too...
I went to a small village for Christmas and since this time, my location in the widget is locked at this village.
When I open the weather app, I can see my good location very quickly, but after the refresh the location returns to the bad village.
And my location in google maps or in google’s website is good...
I have the same problem I have to delete all data for weather and clock and update it again. anyone have any idea why this happen?

I had this problem to but when I was in another country. When I got back home everything went back to normal. I have no idea of how to fix it. Try wiping all cache or reinstall the locations app.
