Because it's a test rom, you should have chosen the 1.32... version from this thread
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Thanks, solved.
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
so yeah. title says it all. its sad how small things can f**k up an awesome phone.

that doesnt mean i wont buy it forever though. but those things are really annoying.

first :

my screen. was yellow. it has a yellowish tint . the whites looked yellow. while my iphone is totally cool blue white.

and i am very OCD about this. god knows how many galaxy S and iphones i returned because of this issue.

and the store didnt have any stock back so there was no option but return it or keep it.

second :

i knew about this issue but god i didnt know its that annoying. no option to turn off the auto brightness. its very low for me . i have to keep a light close to it to keep it on high brightness. i dont care about battery i want to enjoy my gaming sessions with a screen i can SEE ffs.

Third :

i was playing the N64 emulator. mario 64 sometimes lagged at the beginning of the stage, but once you play, its ok. F zero was running below 60fps for sure because my brother has a nexus S and it was super smooth. killer instect not playable on both phones. Xtreme G not playable on both phones.

maybe too many things were open thats why it lagged a little in my gaming tests.

i love the hardware design. and i am sure the roms will fix the auto brightness issue. all i need is a phone with no dead pixels and with a screen that doesnt look like someone pissed on it.
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
1: cant say I have this issue personally screen is bright and vibrant.

2: has a widget you can press for 3 set levels to sort out brightness, so yeah it can be switched off.

3:mario 64 no lag for me not tried Fzero though.
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
more details please. can you do something about the auto brightness to be turned off? i will go buy it again if thats the case.
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
sure just use the power widget whihc has the wifi/BT/GPS/SYNC/Brightness

press the brightness button up to 3 times each time you press it the screen gets brighter until it hits 100% and then goes dark again if you press it one more time.
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
--------__---------

that doesnt turn off the auto brightness

--------__---------
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
does for me for some reason maybe im lucky Peeps some to get issues and im not suffering at all
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
As mentioned this doesn't turn off auto brightness.

All it does is make your brightness 100%. If you cover up the auto brightness sensor, your screen will dim.
[Xperia Play General] MistaSal:
I don't own this phone but I do own an HTC EVO and there is an option to turn off the auto brightness. To do this you go to Settings > Display > Brightness and un-check the "Automatic Brightness" box. After that just move the slider to the highest setting and you should be good to go.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I'm positive that a function exists to turn off auto brightness on the xperia play, but at present Sony have omitted any functionality of accessing this from the end user UI.

Meaning it is not possible to turn off auto brightness unless you start rooting and customising your own ROM.
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
Use "notification toggle" from the market you can disable auto brightness.. But tbh its pretty well implemented..

As for yellow, I have the same issue, but I look at a galaxy s and its really blue, look at my wifes n1 its got a red tint.. The warmth of the screen colors will be adjustable once the phone is rooted
[Xperia Play General] MistaSal:
Ran across this fix for the Xperia Arc. They said it might work for the Play.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/enable-auto-brightness-xperia-arc-neo-play-pro/

Worth a shot...maybe?
[Xperia Play General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
did you try the program your self on your xperia play and it worked ? because if so. thats a fix for the problem everyone is complaining about and it deserve a new thread to be made by yours.

as for the yellow. i am not sure if it can be fixed or not. on nexus S they fixed it. the voodoo developers made it work. but i highly doubt he will work on xperia play as he didnt show an intrest aside from galaxy S and nexus S

[Xperia Play General] siddharthmenon:
I having similar issue.

Got a new Xperia Neo V and the screen has a yellow tint. Googled around & found that I am not alone. Brightness etc is fine but color is not.

Now since I am still digging in I wanted to know if its a known problem?

If so is there a fix?

Hardware or software?

Thanks:)
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Good job for bumping a dead thread!

If you have a yellow tint to your phone, you have two options. One, you can search for an app of some sort that can adjust the system colors on your phone.

Second option, you can take your phone back and complain about it, if it's been recent enough that you purchased it, you should get an exchange.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngkkv:
Hi all, can anyone help me with this?

My com is win7 64 bit connected to modem via lan and galaxy S(wifi) both have allshare installed but unable to detect each other. I've read around and followed the methods of setting up ur WMP. Done but i don't think it's the issue. I think it's more of firewall problem here.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngkkv:
solved. Allshare works purely on wifi alone! no lan connection!

are there other ways to stream media content from PC to TV?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] radeon_x:
How so? Do you mean you can only access your PC if it is on WiFi, and not on a wired LAN connection? Because that shouldn't be a problem... Just make sure the UPnP option on your router is enabled (if there is that option), and that the PC is on the same subnet (for example if your phone has an IP of 192.168.0.100, your PC should have an IP of 192.168.0.*).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngkkv:
it doesn't seem to make sense though, that i can detect my phone over the wifi but not over lan. Why would running on lan have such a change? I mean they should be under the same subnet.

*scratches head.

I'll try look for UPnP option
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngkkv:
Update: contacted Samsung customer support and he mentioned that it only works via WiFi.

so radeon_x, if you can enlighten me on how I can share media via lan connection, kindly let me know :)

or are there other solutions that I can employ to stream media from PC(lan) to Samsung TV?

Hi all,

I have a problem with FB Mobile in that all my contacts seem to have the same Telephone number

eg John Doe 1234 56789

Jane Doe 1234 56789

This is repeated for about 6 or 7 contacts....

Then the next 6 or 7 contacts have a different number listed against them...

Have spoken to O2, Googled, and even visited my local O2 shop, no-one seems to be able to provide a fix !!

I have unistalled app.. MS synced my phone, then done hard reset and re-intalled app then re-synced my phone.

Yet the duplicates are still there..

I suspect there is a file "hanging around" that has become corrupted, but not sure which one !!

Any ideas please ??

Thanks

Hello

I am having the Unlocked SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) of Canada Rogers Network. I am using the same from last December, 2010. As now the firmware of my phone is crashed and it is not even going in DOWNLOAD MODE or in RECOVERY MODE, by which I can repair my crashed firmware and also now my phone is not working.

My request to you is that can you tell me that if you can FLASH my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE (SGH-I896) with the ROM of the mobile if you have with you, otherwise I will provide the Original Firmware Backup which I am having with me. So please tell me whether you can upgrade the firm with the ROM you have or mine.

Please help me to solve my number, as I am from India, now I cannot send my mobile to Canada back.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raklet:
I got an ATT Tab recently. The GPS feature worked for the first few days and then quit working altogether.

Things I have done to troubleshoot

Made sure GPS is enabled

I have installed GPS Status - no satellites are ever found (even after hours).

I have run lbstestmode - no satellites are ever found

I have reflashed to rotohammer's JMI rom and put in the Orange ROM gps files, then re-ran all of the above - still nothing.

Is it possible the GPS is physically broken or have I overlooked something? Are there additional tests I can run?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Download a program called GPS aids from the market install it download LTO and XTRA files in it. reboot and try again
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raklet:
I tried GPS aid but was still not able to get any satellites to show up. I decided to start over from scratch. I installed Overcome ROM 1.6 and applied the GPS fix suggested on page 2 of the tips and tweaks guide include with the ROM.

Thanks alterbridge86!

1) For Your GPS To Work Well:

a. Go into LbsTestMode by entering dialer code

*#*#3214789650#*#*

b. In Application Settings, set the following options:

• Session Type: Tracking

• Test Mode: S/W Test

• Operation Mode: MSBASED

• Start Mode: Hot start

• GPS Plus: ON

• Dynamic Accuracy: ON

• Accuracy: 40

• GPS Logging: OFF

c. In SUPL/CP Settings, set the following options:

• -Server FQDN Type: Custom Config

• -Server: supl.google.com

• -Server Port: 7276

• -SUPL Secure Socket: OFF

• -AGPS Mode: SUPL

d. From the main menu choose Delete GPS Data

e. Close out of LbsTestMode, we're done!

f. Remember however, the first cold fix after flashing a new

ROM WILL take a longer amount of time. Subsequent

locks will be lightning quick however

After that, I got a fix on 9 birds in 17 seconds. I'm happy with that.

Is there a desktop search tool like dtsearch or google desktop search for android? i suppose not, didn't find anything.

Doesn't the Google search widget cover a lot of the bases?

No. I see where it makes you think it will search within apps like Google docs, evernote, and springpad, but I have searched for 2 text strings that I know are in all 3 and all I got is internet results.

Hi,

After last update in dec/jan from HTC my GPS is most of the time not working at all and sometimes get a fix after a VERY long time. When I get a fix it's ually very unstable and only for a short time.

I have been searching the internett for a soulution with no luck and is patient waiting for Gingerbread to arrive for HD witch I hope can fix the problem since I am not happy to send my phone in for service witch usally takes weeks.

Anyone with a similar problem and hopefully a soulution for this most irritating problem??

Regards..
[Desire HD General] UpInTheAir:
If your phone had Eng s-off, you could try flashing an alternate radio.

But first of all you could delete / reset the a-gps data, get a fresh fix.

1. Download Gps Status from the market.

2. Enable gps and 3g data or WiFi.

3. Run app.

4. Phone menu / tools / manage a-gps state / reset / download

5. Get a clear view of the sky and first fix shouldn't take too long.

6. After that, repeat every few days, or if you've traveled great distance without using the gps in between.
[Desire HD General] diver981:
Thanks for reply - but I already tried that with no sucsess:(
[Desire HD General] garman76:
I was in the same situation after the update in December to version 1.72. The total amount of bugs in that version made me tired of waiting for a new software.

I sat down and read as much as I could about rooting and after installing Android Revolution 4.0 along with a new radio my GPS get a fix all the time.

I'm a noobie, and got it right. It's worth the effort.
[Desire HD General] diver981:
Thanks - I will look into this.

I also think this could be the soulution but have been waiting patient for Gingerbread to avoid rooting.
[Desire HD General] UpInTheAir:
As, in my first post, you said "you already tried this". I assume you were referring to the App & not the radio.?

Edit: just read your next post, if you haven't rooted, well you won't have eng s-off and therefore not able to install a new radio yet....... do the answer would be app only. :-)
[Desire HD General] diver981:
Yes, sorry.. I see that now.

I did not answer to all your suggestions yesterday because I did not know what "Eng s-off" was so I did not understand....

Today I have read a lot about rooting so I will try this soon. I have not rooted any android devices before but have done it with several Windows Mobile devices so hopefully I will manage this without the biggest problems... time will show:)

If I only do the downgrade, will I then still have stock rom but the previous version?

Maybe GPS will work ok then??

If I root my phone will I be able to put in new HTC Gingerbread stock rom without problem when it arrives?

Thanks again for reply and help!
[Desire HD General] UpInTheAir:
So you are talking about downgrade, I assume your build is higher than 1.32? If so, here are a few guides for you, some by the same Dev; If not, The Visionary, S-off & Eng S-off will still be applicable.

If you haven't already, ADB needs to be setup on the PC; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719 . There are a few around and may pay to find the latest downloads.

If your phone is carrier branded/regional (1.84) you may have to make a goldcard first. It has been advised by some to have a seperate 2gb sdcard for this, and keep in a safe place, as you may require this if you every ned to downgrade easily in future.

How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE .

One click Radio S-OFF tool including using Visionary tool

One click ENG S-OFF

By having Eng S-off, this will enable you to falsh a different or newer radio, what has the possibility to increase (or even decrease) performance of your gps, 2g/3g, wifi, BT etc, but has risks (read all warnings). Having S-off only will allow you to flash custom ROMs & kernels etc. (Before that, I suggest to use CWM Recovery to backup your existing ROM and keep on your PC as well) so I wouldn't worry about missing out.

Doing all this has it's risks, so if you go down this road, I suggest that you read everything twice, make sure battery is fully charged before hand, and have everything downloaded ready. Read the FAQ in each thread and as much of the recent posts as you can. Most rooting problems experienced seem to be by people not following the guides exactly, being unprepared, and not doing enough reading first....and possibly language barrier.

You could of course wait for the official Gingerbread release, but the radio that may come, may not suit you. So you could be back at square one.

If you use a custom ROM, you will not be able to receive OTA updates, but as I said, the Devs will have something new and updated in no time. Also, if you still use the stock 1.32 with root, you can still recieve OTA updates, but if you do update, you will lose root & most probably the flashed radio, and have to downgrade again.

Edit: If you use a custom ROM, the OP will more than likely state a recommeded radio to flash so it matches the ROM for best overall performance. Obviously, your carrier 2g/3g signal quality will play a big part in this, others have found that trying other radios is better for them.

The options are in your hands. Hope I've helped.
[Desire HD General] diver981:
Hello and thanks for great help!

I have now downgraded and installed new Rom Android Revolution and this operation went smooth thanks to you:)

However I am not able to install new radio, Its problem with ADB and I not able to find a solution.....

I will keep on trying to find a way solve this...

[Desire HD General] UpInTheAir:
Just let us know what's the problem with setting up adb, or using the eng s-off tool, maybe can help. I'm away atm & have connectivity issues with my provider. Will help if able to.
