I was recently approached by a friend that has a nexus 4 that he bought from the play store (like mine). Both mine, and his, are running stock 4.2.2. And use the chrome browser.
The issue is that some sites display Arabic characters correctly on my phone, but not on his. This is odd because both our phones have the same stock version of 4.2.2, and both have added the stock Arabic keyboard.
Can anyone explain the difference?
Note: on his phone, Arabic letters are usually displayed properly, but some sites display squares instead. One such example is the soccer news site www.kooora.com

Em... I'm on stock rooted and don't face any issue with the rendering.
Have you changed the font by any chance?

Hey All,
My Nexus 7 just arrived SIB (sexy in box) and I noticed an IME in the selection list labeled "iWnn IME" for Japanese input.
From what I can gather, it's put together by a company called OMRON and has some pretty interesting features (personal dictionary sync across devices, context prediction, etc.).
How did these guys come pre-installed on a stock Google device? What am I missing here?
No idea. I just disabled that one and the Chinese one too.

I had Korean, Chinese Pinyin and iWnn IME Japanese on my tablet as well, all disabled but not removable.
Have a theory it's there for the sake of compatibility. I remember from browsing on PCs I would see weird box shapes on certain websites when in fact it was because I was missing chinese/japanese language packs.
I am japanese, however I wonder it too. Why?

For other reasons, I did a factory reset and those apps (iWinn IME, Korean Keyboard, etc) all went away with the other problem.
A reset is good.

iWnn IME
This is an emoji keyboard and works fantastic with the device.
You can delete it using titanium backup

I have factory reset my phone 7 times till date yet it always comes in my all apps list as disabled. Can it be removed from the system without root (coz I just unrooted my phone )
Is there any reason why these are installed by default and can they be removed safely without any problems?
Thanks

I've removed them with Rom Toolbox. You need to be rooted.
I just disabled them all. Weird having them I know.

I removed all the East Asian keyboard apps with Link2SD. You need rooted device though to remove system apps.
Because it saves Google from maintaining localised versions of firmware. You have to remember that the Nexus 7 is a developer tablet with Jellybean. Android isn't just big with western countries, it has a rather big market share in China as well as Korea. Asus is a Taiwan company, so is HTC. Samsung is Korean.
Its not like the CJK keyboards take up much storage. iOS have those keyboards built in. Like I said on the other threads asking the same question, welcome to global capitalism, and stop being xenophobic.

Because the east market is big, I am using it in China.
If you're rooted, you can use titanium Backup to freeze or un install them.

Its just the one build for everywhere.
Don't know why they didn't freeze them like the wallet and magazine apps. Maybe it causes problems for people who would want it.

Hello guys I am looking for stable version of Flash for my nexus 4 running 4.2. Is there a stable version that will work with out flickering black screen when I use Firefox. Do I have to root my phone to get it
Any help would be great.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Im using this.... got no problems...
Currently watching the West Ham Chelsea game
Hmm. I downloaded and installed that on my first N4 and it worked flawlessly; I had no problems watching videos on cnn.com with Firefox. However, since then I have replaced that N4 with another -- the camera LED was non-functional on the first one -- and also received the update for 4.2.1. Now when I play cnn.com videos, I get sound but no video. I'm not sure what's responsible for that change -- cnn.com, the hardware, or the new version of Android. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm trying to install flash on 4.2.1. I can't get it to install. Maybe Google blocked it with some changes?

Right. CNN is the only site I visit regularly that uses Flash, but I tracked down another site and tried it and it worked. The funny thing is that CNN worked for me last week, and it was a bit too coincidental that it worked on my first N4 but not on my second for me to think it was something that CNN changed on their site. I guess maybe it was, though. Thanks for the reply.
I just got a Nexus 4 which is nice but I'm having some issue with fonts in the Chrome browser when reading forums. Basically some posts will have the font size quite large/normal but then the next post will have the font size tiny making it unreadable.
At the moment I'm completely stock, only upgraded to 4.3 and not even rooted yet.
I really like Chrome in all other respects but this issue is making it unusable for me. I'm wondering if installing a custom rom might solve the issue as some are reporting this happens and some are not. Apparently this issue didn't exist in v18 but we are now up to v29 in Chrome.
This problem happens on xda (the website version) too. If you can tell me if this happens to you or jot and if it doesn't then what rom/configuration you're running it would be much appreciated.
This happens to me as well.
Even stranger though, whilst on the XDA web page, when I try to scroll/zoom in, the page just keeps reloading constantly and this only happens on the XDA forum no other web pages.
Hence why I'm now using the xda app

I noticed about 4 months ago, Chrome on my S3 didn't like XDA.... So I used Firefox with no issues.
Then I had a LG Optimus G Pro (for about 1 week) with same results, so I used Firefox.
On my HTC One, neither Chrome or Firefox works on XDA, only the stock browser worked.
Now on my S4, I've tried all three and none of them work?
The page will load....... I can log in, but every time I scroll, the page reloads, which basically makes it unusable now...... Anybody else run into this problem?
Perhaps they are trying to get everyone to Tapatalk. It's a very good app.

yup. Same issue here. I have about given up using my phone to browse XDA. I really dont want to buy an app just to browse an internet forum....
I found a free XDA app in the play store that'll work, you might give it a try?

I use the xda app its a really good app. I don't really like going on the site through mobile and having to make the page bigger it seems to be slower on webpages also.

I use the xda app most of the time but dont have any issues using firefox or the stock browser to view it either?
