[HTC Desire S] queloo:
Hello fellow Desire S owners and enthusiasts. I would like to see this happen, I love stock Android and I have been trying for several days to port Nexus ONE ROM 2.3.3 to our device but I didn't have success. So I'm hoping somebody here with more skill and knowledge may do this. I don't really like what HTC is doing to the devices the Sense skinning is only eye-candy and I don't like it one bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] agolding:
if you replace the launcher and install the stock apps then youre halfway there, out of interest why did you buy the desire s?
[HTC Desire S] queloo:
Because I like it's design mostly, I came to it from a Desire HD that one got bricked but it also had Cyanogenmod ROM available and that was very nice. I love the device itself I also had the normal Desire but the battery life was very poor on that one. Anyway, I'll keep trying to get this done.
[Galaxy S II General] asefsef:
I don't know if these if happening on all our s2's.

basically, I noticed brightness goes down when displaying a lot of whites. e.g. google vs the whites in a page with more darker areas. (i don't think it's my eyes.)

I've never noticed this on my hd2, or any other phones.

when displaying google's in the browser, the white is not impressive at all.

another test i did was with an image I created (attached), half black half white. open in gallery and slide it so more black shows, or more white shows. The whole screen changes brightness!

My friend's S2 does the same.

can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
That's actually a power-saving feature you can turn off.

Go into Settings -> Display -> Scroll down and untick 'Auto adjust screen power'.

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
You exchanged your first phone because of this silly thing? :):):)
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Its not.

Its definitely there irrespective of display settings.

Basically even when you are not moving picture, have a look near the border.

There is definite grey banding near the border. It kinda looks like white is bleeding into the black.

And its there on every SGS2, every single one. It can be hardware or software issue.

@OP. you are definitely not alone. I was actually having talk with my friends in UK. 6 of us now have SGS2. 2 are from O2, 3 from P4U and 1 from Handtec and mine is from Clove.

All are experiencing same thing. Its definitely not your eyes.

@others. Its not a glaring issue. You wont notice i t unless there is extreme contrast images on screen like this one. My dad still couldnt notice it when I was showing it to him. But its still there. Will upload video, but its hard to pick on video as well.
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
It's an option in the Display settings - auto adjust screen brightness after analysing image or something similar.

Samsung thing, I think, since my Omnia 7 with Windows Phone did exactly the same thing. It's trying to save you power and completely normal.
[Galaxy S II General] asefsef:
Thanks very much guys, I think I can accept it if it's all built like that. With that option off it really helped! (I feel a lil retarded now). But for some reason that test image I made still has that dimming effect (double tap it in the gallery, this instant change makes it obvious), but maybe that's normal, not fussed. (normal web browsing is perfect)

And no I didn't exchange any phones. Mine does have a dead pixel tho. Can anyone check their screens for dead pixels for me? I know someone had blue lines and stuff on their units, that's a bit drastic. I'm just wondering how many actually have say 1 dead pixel, so I have a better picture before I actually exchange mine or something.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Nah, no dead pixels or other screen issues here. If you have dead pixel, i would return it.

Here is the video, its not clear as camera limitations dont really show it properly, but at 720P you can see it for fraction of second, that is not the lens glare but screen turning grey right above the white border.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGr7xJ1JIjU

around 0:15-0-18 in that video.
[Galaxy S II General] risq:
As mentioned, its a power saving feature as AMOLED screens don't like whites as they drain power, they prefer blacks. So reducing the brightness helps to save battery.
[Galaxy S II General] asefsef:
I can see it grey in the video, almost like that gingerbread scroll limit effect. very hard to see in the video though, would have just said it was the camera.

Yea I'm considering returning. In my other post, I mentioned how Handtec got back to me. In short, not fault since only 1 pixel, but told me I can exchange/return within 7 days. But, they said since it's not a fault, I'll have to pay shipping both ways. (£28 per way, ouch)

Does that sound right??
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
Just a thought, could not the grey area when moving a black/white border area simply be the screen pixels taking a few milliseconds to go from completely dim, to grey, then to completely white, ie just a response time, albeit a bit slower than what I would have guessed?

On my SGS, going into a completely black app drawer with bright icons and moving around, it also has a very slight dragging effect on some white/black constrasting areas?
[Xoom General] forsaken82:
i can buy a 3g xoom with a dock and case locally off craigslist for the same price as a new wifi version. is there a advantage to one or the other? i know they root a little bit different and i think i read that the overclock\sd card kernal is havong some issues on the wifi version ( might be wrong). so is there a advantage to on or the other?
[Xoom General] bossjeeves:
I have no issues with my overclock or sd, and I am on wifi only.

You just need to ask youself the main question, do you want the mobile radio for data and such or are you fine with only wifi? Personally, I have an evo that I can hotspot with and have no need for another monthly bill, plus gps works without the data connection so decide what you need and then go that route. (I would buy new if you have the ability to hotspot)
[Xoom General] forsaken82:
i have the ability on my x, but from what i hear not for much longer. which root method did you use? the adb or "one click"? did you flash 1.4.0 then 1.4.1? also just saw it comes with a screen protector too.. so 3g xoom case dock and screen protector for same cost as a wi-fi xoom. i just went on Motorola's site and checked serial number.... 1 year warranty expires april next year so its pretty much brand new with the accessories foe what id pay for a new wifi model
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
I’d buy the 2nd hand 3G Xoom, since it’s the same price as WIFI only and comes with accessories. Plus the 3G Xoom will have better resell value.

I found in the past mobile phone hotsport produce slow connection speed and kills the host’s battery very quick. The hotsport is a work round solution to the lack of mobile data connection, I'd just put the sim card from your mobile in to the Xoom if you need 3G access (so along as you have data plan on your phone of course).

P.S. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice, there are no better featured Android tablets on the horizon until next year when quad core processors come out.
[Xoom General] forsaken82:
i liked the acer tablet too, but since i do about 150 miles a day on my bike i deff like moto's build quality better. i feel like id rattle the acer apart! im gonna meet the guy at the verizon store so it can be checked to make sure it is clean and can be activated if i want. ill look into month to month plans while im there.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] blunden:
Great to see you going all out with the new improved Android stategy. Just a nitpick though:

The "Why rebuild the kernel?" section doesn't really make sense. I'd say theming and removing apps is as far from kernel-related as you can get while staying within the confines of Android. :P I'm sure you know that as a developer and that it's just that the text has passed through the PR department a few times. Perhaps you can say something like "It allows you to add new features and get the latest security fixes".

I shall thank you very much for the effort you are putting to close the gap between the customer and the firm itself. As we know, this really improves your company image and the satisfaction of your client.

The relationship company/customer is changing in these years, and it's all done by the internet. And the idea which sustains the internet, Open Source.

It's allowing communication, an extremely powerful tool which has to be used wisely.

Hope that Sony is capable of understand that the community (us, xda) could only give a big help to further improve your software.

But we do expect a well-written software to start from, as the Arc is able to show now.

Please do not even think "oh well.. let's not spend money on sw development.. xda will do". Wrong. Wrong.

We are here to refine your product, give you suggestion (not only on sw but also on hardware), not creating.

You are walking on the correct path now, Sony. And with us at your right, I'm sure we will going a long way

Hi devs,

First of all I would like to thank you for the nice comments and the warm welcoming here at XDA.

I see some comments in regards to the X10 and I tried to give an answer at our blog.

And for the specific technical questions I needed some help from my great colleague James.

James comments below:

@sim-value

“I have no idea what’s going on here. I’ve tried the files again, and it does compile fine. Could you please share what environment you are working in, Linux distribution, CodeSourcery version and variant, etc, I could try more..”

@DooMLoRD

“I know there’s been a lot of discussions regarding framerate caps, and let me assure you, it’s all to improve the user-experience.

Disabling the framerate cap will degrade the visual appearance, introducing tearing artifacts, and stuttering when navigating lists, etc.

However, assuming you just want higher figures when benchmarking, and care less about the experience, here’s the general steps:

1.	You need to set the system property “debug.gr.swapinterval” to 0. A typical command for this would be:

adb shell setprop debug.gr.swapinterval 0

2.	For this to take effect, you will need to restart the system-server. You could do this with:

adb shell

stop zygote

start zygote

Also, please note that this setting is not “persistent”, meaning that the next time you reboot your device, the setting will reset to 1 unless you’ve modified your initrd to do this at every boot.”

Hope we can continue to have an ongoing dialogue with you devs! Specifically I would like to thank

For the people reading this, I, and the people from the Sony Ericsson Developer Program will be at GoogleIO tomorrow, please come and meet with us at the Sony Ericsson booth.

Let’s keep the dialogue going!

@KalleD

thank you for your reply...

I have both the X10 & Arc and I was really amazed to see the difference in performance when I used the Arc (with 60fps caps) in comparison to X10 (30 fps cap)... the X10 is noticeably laggy because of this software cap... at the X10 forums we have some custom kernels in the beta stage... One of the devs was able to implement a kernel with uncapped fps and we are very happy with the performance... will it be possible for SE Devs to provide some sort of solution for raising this fps cap to 60 fps or removing it all-together, in form of future kernel releases (open source contributions) or kernel modules (.ko files)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I say lets do go there :p

Iv done worse things in life, like im sure a lot of people have lol.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Linkinsoldier:
@KalleD

honestly, after the x10 (mini) disaster regarding firmware upgrades, I wasn't sure that I'll stay on the S/// road (which i've been on for about 8 Years now!). But this is just great, and I can't wait till I get my hands on the new xperia pro & mini pro!

Meanwhile, I was thinking: Is it possible, to also trigger the LED Backlight under the hardware keys (on the front) if there is any notification color blinking on the side? I'm pretty sure the hardware backlight LED is only white color, but still. If this one keeps on blinking, you can easily check the LED on the side or wake up your arc.

The present LED notification system on the arc is pretty much useless (sorry for that!), and I'm glad to see you guys changed it back on the xperia mini pro!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ashman84:
+1 on the configurable front LED lights! Love the Arc, but the badly places LED lights is a lil bit of a downer.

But to see actually SE developers on XDA creating a thread to help external devs out is down right shocking! I had an x10 too and the experience was less than satisfactory (support wise). But this, this is an almost revolutionary move by SE.

Kudos to the SE team and whoever it was in SE's top management to give this initiative the go ahead.

Also, a special thanks to you Karl-Johan Dahlstrom for taking the effort to reach out to devs/customers etc. Someone should start a fan page of yours on fb. lol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
+1 on all of that.. it's a brilliant and indeed revolutionary move..

@KalleD - Big issue for us right now is in creating some kind of recovery solution.. Xrecovery from the X10 and CWM don't work and the devs are struggling to figure it out.. is there anything you can do to help out with this - I guess people are rightly concerned about flashing stuff to their phone without a recovery option!

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
zdzihu & Bin4ry have been trying to get the recovery binaries, which were working with X10 (QSD8250) to work on Arc (QSD/MSM8255), but seems to be some compatibility issue... since they dont have device to test... its taking longer...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I stumbled upon this in my quest to find a solution to the VS /STT issues I've been having. I've confirmed that if I'm in a very quiet environment they both work correctly but as soon as I get in a noisy one, neither work.

Please see if your results coincide with this, if they do we know what to submit to the cm7 devs.

Thanks for all this advice. I've tried out Smart Keyboard and Swiftkey. I like that they both give clear options when I use voice input but what has sold me on Smart Keyboard is that it also has a Retry button after voice input if you don't find a match for what you dictated. I couldn't see that Swiftkey has that. Quicker than cancelling the entry and then clicking on the voice input button again.

Apart from that, I couldn't say that one is better than the other. I haven't done a lot of testing so I cannot say if one is more accurate than the other on finding the right words.
