I have a bunch of widgets on my homescreen, but that wasn't the issue - the issue was the screen itself.... Got a new one through warranty, TiBU on the old phone, went through the update process up to 4.1.83, restored from TiBU, and I'm back to having a working phone without any loss of response from the screen!

Hi,

just about the time when i flashed JV1, my lightsensor stopped working properly.

It's so annoying when auto-brightness just jumps between low brightness and full brightness.

I thought it might be a bug. But now with JVB it still doesn't work. I checked it with a few sensor test apps and it outputs either 6.0 lux or 5000.0 lux.

Does anynone else have this problem? Is there a possibility to flash the eclair or froyo "lightsensor driver"?

Anybody got any updates on this, or some kind of fix? Really weird, because it seems only some have this problem, but it seems to be the case with a few other phones too.

My galaxy s has been behaving like this always, since I first bought it with stock gingerbread, and there's no difference in Darkys Rom 10.1. Light sensor goes from either 6 lux to 5000 lux in Androsensor, and the proximity sensor behaves the same way (only two values).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Shortly after posting this, I came across

darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/brightness-fix-for-jvp-jvq.4019/ <- that tread (apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet).

Even though I am on JVH, and the fix uses files from JVH to apply to JVP/JVQ, it worked wonders on my phone!

Just wanted to give props to this cool image search app. For those familiar with Cool Iris this app is exactly the same thing. Whats really nice is the built in capability to search images based on quality (large) & the fact that you can set an image as your desktop background with out downloading. You can also save, share the image & open the images website using the integrated control panel.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahdibassam:
I just ordered my Galaxy S II from the UK, but there has been a question hangin over my head.

Will games that are optimized for Tegra 2 ( such as games in Tegra Zone ) work on the Galaxy S II with the Exynos chipset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
nope.

dungeon defender hd which was optimized for tegra did not work. samurai 2 does not work either.a real bummer:mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggazee:
Friut ninja hd, also doesnt work. Says that its optimised for tegra devices only.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
From reading other comments elsewhere it appeared that the Exynos chipset was better than the Tegra 2, or is the Tegra 2 just better in games?...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Tegra games will not work on any other GPU ATM

galaxy s and nexus s PowerVR sgx 540 and other high end GPUs are more than capable of running "tegra 2" games.

Not to mention the tegra 2 really isn't that much faster than the SGS NS sgx540 tegra has two CPU cores and from what i gathered when gaming it dedicated one core for system and the other strictly for games when gaming.

Nvidia is paying off developers just like they do on PC. only difference between mobile and PC though is that PC "nvidia meant to be played" games will still work on ATI

Not the same with other mobile GPUs unfortunately

Nvidia is ruining android by doing this exclusive BS

Also the SGS2 GPU should be on par if not faster than the tegra 2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
^ Gotcha thanks!... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skycake 21:
Not sure if this has been answered before, but this post seems like a good place for this discussion...

1. Why did samsung launch a phone under two different cpu's...

2. Doesn't this mean that when samsung goes to release an android update for the phone they have to make two different updates, one for each cpu?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
1. Probably due to the limited supply of Exynos CPUs

2. No, unless there needs to be a new driver written for the CPU (which is highly unlikely)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
Nvidia is just causing some more fragmentation. As if we needed anymore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttes:
Not only that but AMD is actually getting into the Android hardware game so it's about to get even messier. I hope Google comes out with some kind of DirectX thing to help with this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahdibassam:
well this cant go on forever because HTC sensation also comin out with a different cpu. so we should see the games released in different versions for all dual core phones pretty soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stitch!:
Wouldnt worry to much about that;) Most game developers make sure their game run on a wide selection of phones. Addapting a game to run on a new phone is not a lot of work, but increases the market potential. As mentioned before, Nvidia is paying developers to make the game tegra2 only. And luckely Nvidia is the only one doing this so far. A direct X solution for android could be a good medicine against the fragmentation, but I do know a certain hackers community that makes tegra 2 games playable on other devices. (have been playing galaxy on fire 2 for a while now) But XDA doesnt support linking to pirated software so I cannot share this, im sorry. (Google is your friend ;))

If the range of tegra 2 games will grow, there will be more interest in porting those games. Since its not very hard. Lets hope the hackers destroy the fragmentation haha.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
As long as game developers stick to OpenGL ES specifications, all devices will be able to play the game (current). The device with more powerful GPU will obviously play it better.

What Nvidia is doing with Tegra is that they are making the sponsored game developers use the proprietary texture compression format that only Tegra Devices can run. This is what I have against Tegra Zone and Tegra as whole. The last thing we want is Nvidia playing dirty games they tried to play in PC gaming arena (they still do to some extent with PhysX and CUDA ).

So there is no real need to worry about developers having to code the game for each GPU core out there. Sensation might have different GPU but it will be OpenGL ES 2.x compatible just like Mali and others.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanteEx:
I can confirm this works for some games...

These are the games I've tested thus far:

Samurai II: Vengeance runs very well - However their is a bug with opening the combo draw.

Pinball HD for Tegra runs flawlessly

Riptide GP doesn't load at all - Just a black screen and then crash to homescreen.

When I have the money I'll buy the other games later and post results later.

Our phones also use an OpenGL compression which no other phone uses as of this moment, so there is nearly 0 support for it at the moment

EDIT: I forgot to mention this is with the use of Chainfire 3D with the Tegra plugin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neelpatel007:
Pinball HD is running even on my Xperia X10 with Chainfire 3d...

I live in non LTE and have had great battery life normally (w/o LTE switched off)... I am on a two week vacation in the DC area... I was getting great battery life with 4G connectivity... however, since the outage... i have regained 4G connectivity but my battery life is plunging! Anyone notice anything like this? (BTW, i have not made any changes on my phone recently)

I have noticed that whenever i turn my screen off, the phone is showing 0 signal bars and it takes 5-10 secs for it to go to 4 bars, which I have been getting regularly in DC.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
I'm having bad battery life to after it. No 4g here
[Thunderbolt General] cankle:
I have had a similar experience, but I also flashed a new rom that same day. I originally thought it was just the new rom. I live in a 4G area.
[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
No change post-4G outage. But my battery was never great before the 4G outage either. Actually, it's always quite sucked.

Odd thing is, DURING the outage, I was either on 1x or had NO data service, and my battery didn't improve then either.
[Thunderbolt General] EDD Skitz:
Sounds like a bad battery, I would try to exchange it through Verizon... These phones aren't crazy bad on batteries, most people either have a defect or have too much running at one time...

P.S. horrible service and battery after the outage here in Philly as well, was awesome before...
[Thunderbolt General] jaykruer:
I don't think that was the case...when a 4g phone or any phone for that matter gets a signal less than it is supposed to, usually it will continue searching for 4g or 3g. That eats up more battery than even being connected to 4g at all. When the outage happened or I'm not in a 4g area I just turn 4g off.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Mine spiked to about 300mA at idle from 40ish after the outage.

No new apps or settings. Reboot didn't work, setting to 3g only or 4g only or auto in the settings, reinstalling a lot of apps. Nothing I did could fix it, so I had to factory reset. Was a lot less painful than I thought it would be, the Market installing all my apps automatically was amazing to see.

Its OK now.
[Thunderbolt General] ignitros:
I'm having the same issue. Before the whole 3G/4G outage i could get 8 hours maybe a little more out of my battery and now that everything is working I'm lucky to get 4 hours at best and sometimes less. I even went so far as to factory reset my phone in an attempt to fix it but still no dice.

[Atrix 4G General] chromedome00:
I disagree. The HSUPA petition made the news on popular blog sistes (BRG, Engadget, etc.) and AT&T replied to the person that created the petition and finally made a public statement that they would fix it by end of April. And although the build has not been pushed, we know that 1.83 has HSUPA.

If we can get the numbers of sigs that the HSUPA one got, we should push them a bit. Consumer momentum works, and for this issue, it affects all AT&T android phones.

Besides, it takes 5 seconds to click on a box to sign the petition and there is nothing to loose.

[Nexus S General] Fizwiz:
I DONT TAKE THE CREDIT OF THIS GUIDE. I TAKE THAT FROM A OTHER SITE I HAVE TEST IT ON MY NEXUS S 9020A FROM ROGERS.

Here's an easy way to jump to stock + rooted 2.3.4 for ALL Nexus S phones.

Download this full version of 2.3.3 from Google and place it on your internal storage.

Download the 2.3.4 ( GRI40 to GRJ22) OTA update from Google and place it on your internal storage.

Download the SuperUser package from ChainsDD and place it on your internal storage.

Reboot into recovery, and Nandroid your current system. If you don't do this, and something goes wrong you'll be sorry.

In ClockworkMod recovery, wipe data/factory reset. this may not be needed, but if you boot loop when restarting and have no recovery installed, you'll be SOL. Just do it.

Next flash the f182cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip (the first file you downloaded). Don't exit recovery!

Then flash the a14a2dd09749.signed-soju-GRJ22-from-GRI40.a14a2dd0.zip (the second file you downloaded). Don't exit recovery!

In Clockwork, go to the mounts and storage menu and mount /system and mount /data.

The flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip (the third file you downloaded).

Reboot.

When you boot up, you'll be running 2.3.4, and be rooted. But you won't have ClockworkMod recovery any longer. There's two ways to tackle this one.

The easy way, but not permanent:

Go to the Market.

Install Rom Manager.

Flash Clockwork recovery every time you need to boot into it.

The better way, and is permanent.

Using a file browser with root permissions, find /etc/install-recovery.sh in your system.

Rename it to /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

Go to the Market

Install Rom Manager

Flash Clockwork recovery.
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Better way to flash recovery is with "fastboot flash recovery <filename>". Rom Manager doesn't always flash it correctly for some reason, gotta do it more than once sometimes before it will stick.

Some Nexus S's don't have the "install-recovery.sh" script so any changes to the recovery will be permanent on those phones. For example, the ones sold in Canada (i9020a - GRI54).
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
Also the i9020a user will end up with a useless modem as the radios are different between the roms

[Nexus S General] NexusCrazy:
I'm just waiting for my Nexus S to arrive on Tuesday, after having my Nexus One stolen, I'd only just flashed cyanogenMod Nightly #54 and hadn't configured the "find my droid" app :mad: so ive had to put it down to experience. Unless anyone can tell me another way of tracking its GPS position?

Now a couple of questions, with it being brand new I dont want to unlock the bootloader and void my warranty on the fist day if I can help it. But will do if its the only way to gain Root.

Does this method work without unlocking the bootloader? I ask as Ive seen that it does on another thread but it says it only workes on 2.3.2?

What version of Android will a UK Orange Nexus S come pre-installed with?

Also with the nexus one it made a difference which screen the phone came with as to wich roms you could flash, that's if my understanding is right. Is this the same with the Nexus S?

One last thing, is buying a Nexus S from Orange UK on contract the same as buying one sim free from google, is it unlocked to all networks, can the bootloader be unlocked the same way, is there any difference at all? (my Nexus One was bought direct from Google).

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be prepared to Root and unlock the bootloader if absalutaly necessary as soon as it arrives on Tuesday :)

Thanks in advance for any help..
