great so how the heck are we supposed to order from UK over here in the USA if we may potentially have to return multiple times just to get a good screen? sadness:(
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Wait till it comes out in the US?

I wouldnt risk it.. just wait.

My screen is just fine. Flawless.

None of these problems. My friend will be getting this phone next week. We'll see.
[Galaxy S II General] LarcusMywood:
Looks like I wont be returning it today... left it charging overnight with the phone off and started using it again this morning, been using it for about an hour now and no screen issues at all, before it would start appearing after about 10 minutes. :/ I've got 30 days to return it so i'll wait... just hope I dont get any long term screen problems, although this will hopefully come under the two year warranty...
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Wow that is good news !!!

Remember those yellowish spots on iP4 screen? Maybe SGS2 also needs time to "cure" something in its screen?
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Get a white screen up and wait till it dims down and check again. You should be able to still see those lines.
[Galaxy S II General] LarcusMywood:
That's what I've been thinking! It did it one more time today, but only after the screen being on playing a 720p video for a couple of hours, and it hasn't done it since.

Done that, but there isn't any. It definetely isn't burn-in, the colour of the lines change depending on the brightest colour that is in that line, pretty hard to explain so I wish I could take pictures, but the only camera I have is the one on the phone, lol.
[Galaxy S II General] ignign0kt:
These issue topics are making me nervous since I just ordered mine and it won't have a warranty ;\

for every 100 owners of SGS2 there is only one who is an active poster here. And out of every 100 active posters , only like 1 would have issues. So do not worry and hope for luck! ;)

Daer all,

Yesterday my device offered my the first firmware update.

My current version: Acer_A500_1.016.03_com_gen1

Downloaded version: 1.126.03

I did not update yet because i am aafraid to loose root. So if anybody can tell me where my system download the uodate to i can shar the file with you.

Anybody else already had a update?

[Acer Iconia A500] psych0t1c:
Today I received my Acer A500 in Germany, purchased from Amazon through preorder. It's the first Honeycomb to hit the german mass market.

I have Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7

The "E" sounds like it stands for "european" or "Europe" to me, however the only localization I can choose in Settings is "german", while on my other Android devices (HTC phones) the ROMs always contain multiple localizations (or even worldwide like *WWE* ones).

I hope this helps, just started digging through the device and going to root it soon.

If anyone needs any further info regarding this version, which seems to be newer than those being OTA'ed to US customers let me know.

FWIW, I have not yet had any random screen turn-ons so maybe they fixed that.

I also searched with "Rootexplorer" for "*.zip" but nothing that is coming from me.

Do they maybe use a "hidden" mount?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryanoid:
I'm trying to flash my friend's Galaxy s 4g, but I'm having an issue with Odin failing to flash.

I originally used Vibrant 3g .pit and .tar files, not knowing it wouldn't work on the 4g model. Anyway, that semi bricked it, while still allowing it to get to the download mode.

So I figured I needed the "custom" .tar file to flash the 4g model. I booted up Odin and opened just the .tar that's in the noob guide. This time all I got from Odin is a red panel saying FAIL! It happened during the cache.rfs process. And now I get a new download mode screen. Before it used to be the android digging, now it's just an image of a phone and a computer with an exclamation mark in between the two.

When I get FAIL! on Odin, the progress bar on the phone freezes about 75% of the way.

So what am I doing wrong? Do I need a .pit file? Is it my computer? Should I try another computer? help me out please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bustanut:
I'm not sure about that second message you got, but did you make sure to open ODIN before flashing?

And do you also have the correct USB Drivers downloaded for your computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryanoid:
Yea, i had ODIN open before I connected the phone. And I made sure to install the correct drivers for it (It said "drivers installed successfully)

Another thing, is when I was trying to flash it thinking the regular vibrant 3g method would work, I had "Re-Partition" checked. Could that be part of the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bustanut:
You're not supposed to have Re-Partition checked.

Refer to this guide to make sure you're doing everything right in the flashing process : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryanoid:
Well, I have been following that guide. Step by step.

But that was after I semibricked it.

Before, I thought using the method for rooting a vibrant 3g would work for the 4g model. I guess the "Re-partition" box was checked (before I started following that "Noobs guide") and that's why I'm having problems now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
The symbol you are now seeing on your phone means you have a currupt firmware. It was most likely caused by using the vibrants pit file. If you try everything else and it still doesn't work. You may have to wait until we either have a working pit. But follow the directions on the Odin flashing instruction and keep trying.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryanoid:
So, there's nothing I can do now besides keep trying? It's not my phone though... my friend was expecting it back today.

Is there a way I can get to the recovery menu and download somebody's nandroid backup to restore mine?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Sorry bud. Cwm doesn't work that way yet. And even so, I don't think you can even get into recovery mode with your problem. When you used the vibrant pit file you formatted the phone to be like the vibrant which its not. Its very similar, but different enough to cause issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
So I've integrated my Sprint Number with Google Voice - Cool. I like it. Mostly it's awesome to be able to sit at my computer and text\call people from a number they actually recognize. And being a flash addict, and yet someone who also wants to keep ALL my texts, it is quite useful.

Anyways when I first integrated, every incoming text would give me two notifications, one from Voice and one from default SMS app. I did something - changed a setting - I'm not sure, probably on the desktop side of things, but now I'm only receiving texts in Voice. They aren't showing up at all in my SMS app. Can someone help a noob out? I appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I haven't used the integration, but what if you try to re-set it up and disable the text feature?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
Sigh One day I'll learn to think outside the box! I have to wait 15 minutes after disabling to enable, but I'll let you know if it worked. It may not, because the settings may be stored server side and kept regardless of disabling, but I will soon see. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
So, messages are now showing up in SMS app again, so thats good, but I'm getting the double notifications again. Does anyone know how to disable text notifications for Voice? Also, I told voice that I wanted to route all calls through it - I've changed my mind haha. How do I change that setting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well for google voice, I don't know how to, since I don't use the text feature, but in chomp, you can simply go to the notification settings and disable them, and you'll only see them on chomp.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muellersirch:
to disable text notifications, you will also have to disable voicemail notifications. just enable text/email notification for voicemail
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaslacker:
I think it had something to do with Spring and google because same thing happened with me i still get picture mail on stock messenger and i can still send out once but none come in Sprint is maing out on that deal they are not getting any text data on are accounts
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
Ahhh. Well thats not clear in the least bit. If the notification feature is tied to both voicemail and text they should label it as such. But still thats an annoyingly stupid limitation. Surely they understand why someone, and I would guess most people, would like a voicemail notification, but not two sms notifications. /rant

Anyways, thanks for the help! Also for my other little problem about setting up all calls through gVoice, I just happened to stumble on a widget that switched that... still don't know where the setting to change it is though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcmoon:
Voice took over everything and i didnt like it. I didnt even want voice to do it, but somehow it did. The only way i could figure out how to get back the option of what number to dial out from (google or cell) was to find older version of voice and install.
[Nook Color General] LinxuSx:
I may have made a huge mistake.

I just purchased a Nook Color version 1.2, and successfully rooted it using ManualNooter 4.5.2. Everything was working pretty much, and I didn't think to check, but went into ROM Mananger, downloaded CM Mod 7.0.2 I believe, and installed it.

It rebooted, installed, and now is stuck at the boot screen (where the word color is rainbow flashing).

No backup (yeah I know...)

Where should I go from here?
[Nook Color General] LinxuSx:
Is there a way to flash the Stock 1.2 via CMW? I can get to that screen, but I need a way to install a .zip that will work...

For now I am going to flash to 1.0.1. I can just upgrade over wifi to 1.2 and then re-root, correct?
[Nook Color General] LinxuSx:
Figured it out. Flashed to 1.0.1, and then upgraded to 1.2. Now to re-root again haha. What a process!
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
If you just want to play with CM7, you don't need to root. You can install to SD without touching the 1.2 installation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

If you want a little simpler, step-by-step version of those instructions, google "anamardoll nook cm7."

The bootable SD you make can also flash CMW to your NC without rooting or otherwise disturbing the 1.2 install. Just make sure you get a suitable SD if you're planning to run CM7 off of it--this thread breaks down what to look for:

The phone works fine without activation, you can still unlock it, however, if its not activated you can kiss goodbye to the marketplace, live services and xbox live

setup a google account to aid you with unlocking it

just phone for activation and kick up a fuss, remain ignorant and pretend you havent got a clue what your doing, speak to a supervisor if you must, i kicked up all manor of ****e when they told me i had to contact O2 and eventually her boss sent me an email with the key.

i think i shouldnt have said it came from O2 and said it was secondhand, perhaps that will work, in any case, MS cant do anything to you other than not giving you the code, your not breaking the law so dont worry about it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbullcat:
Hi,

I'm thinking about getting an Atrix as my next phone, but I have a few questions:

1. Will the bootloader/encryption ever be cracked? Will the phone ever get true custom ROMs e.g CyanogenMod?

2. How's the camera on the Atrix?

3. In all truthfulness, how is Motoblur? Wil Motoblur with Gingerbread change anything?

4. If the bootloader/encryption is ever cracked, will devs be able to replace WebTop with something better, like ChromeOS or Ubuntu?

5. The Lapdock trackpad doesn't have multitouch, correct?

Sorry if any of these have been asked before :(

Thanks,

Phil :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
1) Most likely, but there's no way to know for sure. If it is, it probably wont be any time soon. However, there's a promising trick called 2init that allows custom roms (sans custom kernels) on other locked down Motorola devices that's being looked at for a possible port to the Atrix.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052550

2)Not the greatest, but its not terrible either. It has a little bit of color banding on darker colors, but so long as the lighting is good the images come out decent.

3) Motoblur frankly sucks. It just slows the phone down. You can install an alternative launcher and it helps a bit, but its still running in the background.

When the 2.3 Gingerbread update comes out, it should help tremendously if the Droid X version of the updated motoblur is anything to judge by.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMKIgqHAlJc

4) Most likely. In fact, there are already hacks that enable modification of the webtop environment, effectively turning it into a fork of Ubuntu.

5) I dont know, dont have a webtop dock. I would assume it does.

I would definitely recommend the phone, though, if your looking for raw performance. Just replace the motoblur launcher and this thing flies.

Just wanted to see if anyone else was having an issue where after a manual 2.3.4 update the Nexus S will regularly "go white" (lose google server connection) and then reconnect throughout the day more than normal?

It's getting annoying not having my emails pushed on time and don't know if I need to reflash the 2.3.3 radio then let the OTA do its thing.

THanks!
[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
I have the same symptom.

However, mine started since 2.3.3

For some reason, I used to think was related to me logging in Google Chrome

web browser with the same account as my phone uses, but I don't think that

was really the cause. ( I'm not talking about just gmail website log in, I'm talking

about literally the sync of Google Chrome web browser with my gmail account that

I use on my phone.)

Even after the update to 2.3.4, its stilll the same.

Random loss of google server connection and remaining in white for brief time.

I did factory reset few times just to see if it'd fix, but no luck, yet.
[Nexus S General] Ulver:
I've been having this issue too ever since I got on 2.3.4. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm on wifi though. I got my update over the air too, if that matters.
[Nexus S General] DOHCtor:
It's been happening to me for a while as well. Even back in 2.3.3 when I was on CM7 and OEM. I seriously think it's a problem on Google's side and they really need to address it because it keeps logging me off of Gtalk which is annoying.
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
I'm having the same problem since April 14, I've tried everything flashing stock 2.3.1-2-3-4, CM7, changing Apn setting, changing my sim card, factory resets and nothing works.

Four months ago this thread was created. Still not a word from Google.

If you go to Google's help forum here: http://www.google.vu/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=7c7a962fd3ae87e2&hl=en

You can see that the last response from anyone at Google was from 2 months back. This issue need to be fixed, but it looks like Google could care less. Maybe if we get the word out to Android Central and other Android blogs, or even Gizmodo or Engadget Google will actually take notice and try to fix this.
