Any test using a camera should be done with a DSLR using manual (and constant settings), but even then it's hard to say if the problems you see come from the screen, the camera, or the screen on which you're looking at the pictures. So yeah, the only way to make your opinion is by comparing the screens side by side by yourself.

Also, it's often a matter of personal tastes : For example I want my TV and PC monitor to have very accurate colors, but I really don't mind if my phone has over saturated colors since I rarely use it to look at pictures or movies, and even when I do it's not in optimal conditions so I don't care, and I prefer to have vivid colors in the UIs.

I disagree : They have a much better contrast ratio (virtually infinite) because the blacks are truly black. But the brightness is on par with most LCDs and lower than the best LCD screens. You can see the figures in this article by anandtech : Super AMOLED screens are around 350-400 nits whereas iPhone 4 is at 571, chich is why it's better in the sunlight.

I still think I prefer Spuer AMOLED + though because I mainly use my phone indoors and it's amazing to have true blacks.

So which technology is the winner?

P/S: I heart that Samsung will make a super amoled plus screen with high resolution as something called "retina" by apple.

It will be included in Samsung galaxy S3. Can anyone confirm such rumours for me?
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Have a read.

http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled-plus-resolution-further-details

I can more-or-less confirm this. I mean, just read. :) The technology is there, it just needs a new production line and product line "components".

Samsung also have the advantage here, because they have the biggest AMOLED production facilities and so they can produce these AMOLED screens, whereas it is too expensive for other companies to do the same.

The link says they don't know when they're going to be using it. WRONG! If you follow some links to more recent articles, on the similar topic, it says they plan to have these being produced by the end of the year - so there's a high chance, that this time next year, we're gonna see a 300PPI+ Super AMOLED screens.......................................................................or flexible ones. :S

The best way is to actually run measurements of contrast, gamma and color saturation. I have run measurements on the SGSII display:

Can't really compare them all as long as Sammy makes/or at least made money on those 3 screen techs, with the Super Amoled plus on the S2, Super clear lcd in gt-i9003 and the display in apple products (esp. the iphone, the oh so called "retina display") being supplied by Sammy (or companies which Sammy have investments).

Hey team,

This might be a stupid question...hope I'm not missing something simple.

Do I need additional hardware besides the MicroSD card itself?

I loaded the firmware update onto my Nexus One's MicroSD card. Powered it off, yanked the MicroSD card, and went to insert it into the Transformer.

As I'm inserting it, it recognizes external storage (and the update it found on the card, as the exclamation mark appears), but it won't "snap" into the device and springs out far enough that the device no longer sees it.. There's some spring pressure back to me, and it feels like the card should "click in." But no luck...

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olegit:
Just need to push in a bit harder the card sits very flush with the case.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
You may want to use your nail to push the card slightly beyond the opening and it should click and comes back out flush with the case. Or wait and buy my 5 dollar asus microsd card inserter gadget. :)

Oh and if you download that on your nexus...make sure you unzip it and put the ASUS folder on the root of the card...else it would be sitting in download folder or something.

I've got loads of spare mobile phone sim cards around so I just use one of those to press it in each time. Failing that you could use a credit card i suppose as they are about the same thickness. Makes it a bit easier than using a fingernail. Yeah it goes in a fair way before it clicks and holds the card but at least it sits flush to the bezel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprabhuraj:
Hi All,

Reason for this question is that, first of all I wanted to root my newly bought SGS GT-I9000 (2.2 DDJP6) So, flashed speedmod kernel K13E (latest). Later, when I wanted to install MIUI rom, as per the instruction one need to flash K13C kernel.

But, whenever I try to flash SM - K13C kernel on top of K13E, I tend to soft-brick my phone (BSOD). I need to once again flash K13E to get back my SGS to work.

So, in order for me to get on to MIUI rom, I have two options...

1) Downgrade K13E to K13C kernel. And continue to flash MIUI rom.

2) Restore my kernel to stock kernel first. Then start flashing K13C and continue to flash MIUI rom.

Can somebody please suggest, which option would be best and highly feasible?

Thanks in advance for the responses

Prabhu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i dont think it matters what version of speedmod you are on, its only so you have CWM to flash the cyanogen kernel.

but anyway if you want to downgrade just download the one you need k13c and flash it thru CWM or ODIN and it will overwrite your previous kernel

If website say that it not a ROM for your telephone then you are doing something wrong.

Make sure you select the right phone from list in htc website or that you enter the right code number.

You can not have both installed in NAND. You can find NexusHD2 if you just search. If you want to have both install WinMo and find an SD Android version to put in your SDcard.

It is not easy for us to explain you in 1 post what we have learned by reading countless times the threads here.

If you can't find any solution by yourself then try finding some friend of yours who understand better and help you.

Else you can always find someone to pay to fix your device.

Without wishing to appear rude it is a tad difficult to understand you.

Ii believe you are unable to download the correct official rom for your device. this is sometimes the case that your serial number is not accepted by htc as they offer different roms for different carriers.

don't mess around with android roms if you don't know how to do your own homework.

download the the original rom for your t-mobile hd2 and open the exe file with winrar - extract the file "RUU_signed.nbh" and rename it "leoimg.nbh" - copy this file to the root of your sd card - restart your phone while holding on to the volume down button - then follow the steps and your back home with windows mobile. - then you can sell your hd2 and buy a android phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Hello all,

I am running stock rom rooted, version .5.

Due to some FCs happening I want to reinstall the stock rom.

How should I do it?

I don't really remember..

My phone was unbranded when I bought it.

Just running the RUU of the latest stock rom will do the work?

Or do I have to unroot it firstly?

Also, I have created a partition (ext3 - 512MB) at my sd (8GB - Class 6)..and I would like to be able to install apps there...I think it's called A2SD..

How can I do that?

I am taking a backup with TB and will backup contacts and anything else I need.

Should I take a nandroid backup too?

Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?

Thank you for your time!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
To use the A2SD+, you need to be rooted.

So you can either run a RUU (unroots your phone - then root it again) or search the Android developement for stock rooted ROMs with A2SD+.

If you choose the 2nd one, just boot into recovery wipe everything and then flash the ROM and then restore everything with Titanium.

Here's a stock rooted one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997

Nandroid is always good, does not hurts when you have a backup :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
Thank you for your reply!

To start with, I haven't flashed through recovery any rom yet and haven't wiped data, and thus I am really inexperienced with these.

So I could download this ->"2.29.405.2/5 INIT.D ROM v3.0 | v3.1 - NEW!"? (The version .5) with init.d so that I can install the script of A2SD+ ("A2SD+ (1.4) - v3 compatible", right?

Do I have to flash a radio too?

I think I've read here somewhere that if the radio you're having is working properly then stick with it..If I wipe everything will I still have to install a radio?

So if I download this version what are the steps that I should follow?

1)Backup everything I need with TB and nandroid.

2)Copy the file into the root of sd.

3)Boot into recovery.

4)Wipe everything->wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition?

5)And then which option is to flash the rom? The "install zip from sdcard"?

After this procedure what else do I have to keep in mind?

What about this "Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?" ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yes, that's the ROM, and you will be able to use A2SD+ with the init.d ROM.

Radio is not needed. Even if you wipe everything, it remains, because it is on a different partition. So wiping everything is safe, radio remains.

The steps are good, but before flashing ("install zip from SD Card") make sure you toggle verification off (it's in the same menu) - just in case.

Altough I strongly recommend to run through those custom ROMs, you'll not regret it (If you choose a stable one from a well known dev).

Yeah, the virtual android emulator. Wanted to write about it, but forgot it after searching for the ROM :D I Know it is possible, never tried it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanclo:
1. try to do the three wipes.. wipe factory settings, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then reboot. perhaps you won't have fc's after that.

2. if you run a stock ruu again - you will lose root and s-on will return. this is the way to unroot essentially. check unlockr for details on that. you can use a universal ruu from htc to do that if you have to. but if you try 1. first, then you won't have to do this. i would suggest NOT unrooting just for a few fc's.

you will solve the problem by installing a different rom. now onto that issue about app2sd...

if you want app2sd.. i would suggest looking into data2sd. i'm on rcmix-hd or rcmix-s-w.1.1 and it's very nice. if you want to use data2sd you can also add this feature. pm me about that. one proviso, your sd-card must be a class-6 or higher to really enjoy data2sd ... i have a class-4 and the speed is not bad. but as the card becomes fragmented, i am sure the speed will suffer.

good luck :-) enjoy your desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:
I have done the 2 wipes except the dalvik cache before installing the rom.

I haven't used a stock RUU.

I have downloaded the v3 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997 with init.d support.

I will stick with app2sd because I read that the sd wears off with all that writing :S

About the roms:

Yesterday I checked Leedroid but the thing that I didn't like was the partial localization..

I am using greek language.

Is there any way to solve that?

Also which other roms are more stable and worth the try?

Additionally, at the thread of the ROM I installed it says "Note that framework-res is already deodexed in this ROM".

This means that I can flash any notification bar icon I want and also the super cicle battery mod?

Thank you for your replies! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pspuser007:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
With a deodexed rom you can apply global themes, fonts and mods.

With an odexed rom this is not possible, unless the mod is appropriately altered.
