If you are surfing internet, many flash ads may result in over usage of CPU and making your phone hot. Bad programing with flash which happens when companies hire cheaper developers...
[Xperia Arc General] vincent.hsy:
Mine gets warm fast too... during navigation, game or downloading apps with 3G.

The processor area needs to dissipate heat to the outside surface and maybe since it is thin and plastic, we feel the heat easily.

I couldn't find anything on this topic, but I was wondering if there was a way to use my Evo as speakers through usb and or wifi from my pc. I have headphones but theres just sometimes I dont want to wear them.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
I'm pretty sure that this would be not possible. As the phone doesn't have any sort of audio-in jack. I'm sure something could be made to transfer the audio via Bluetooth, but your computer would have to have a Bluetooth signal transmitter too

And no offense, but you can get a set of speakers at like Wal-Mart for $10 and would eliminate the risk of blowing out your speaker on your evo (if this were possible to begin with)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZuperBlahq:
yeah i have an iHome dock i was using for speakers but my sister currently kidnapped my aux cable so I was just wondering in the meen time.
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
so i just did a pretty badass lagtest of the S2, pulled up 20 tabs, and played a video on all 20 tabs. not even the slightest hiccup, pinchzooming as smooth as a picture, no lag whatso ever, as smooth as going to google.com

had some stuff running in the background too, i didnt set up for this video at all.. original out of box stock rom.. totally unstoppable!

check out the video by yours truely~

[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
I would not say that at all. It still cant play bbc HD, or bbc standard def flash without skipping.

Not impressed.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
To be fair that's probably more to do with BBC's shoddy application than it is flash or the phone. How else do you explain that other flash streaming works perfectly?
[Galaxy S II General] dehem333:
Yea , and it cant run crysis :s
[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
Im not talking about the application, I mean the bbc website watching using standard flash player.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I know what you mean. The beeb uses some bull**** which meant that the iplayer was not available to us Linux users for a long time even though we have flash capable browsers that played everything else.
[Galaxy S II General] Spartoi:
Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Smooth as butter. I watched a ton of 1080p videos off YouTube and megavideo.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Buddy u keep trying to hold this over the sgs2 head. If every flash based site/video runs perfectly, it has to be something with BBC right? Don't b a b.

Bbc iplayer dont even work that well on ps3 with a good wifi connectiob so i ainbt that worried. Bbc news app is slow too compared to skys one, thay just make **** apps and web sites
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
those were ALL 1080p.

loljk, idk maybe i should make a video of how many 1080p videos i can get and itll still be smooth.. wonder how many i would get oo

i wanna make a post or something where its just a whole page of embedded videos, so i dont have to do tabs, anyone got a forum they dont mind spamming with videos? ill make a cool video out of it!

@Killer Bee	"Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?"

Very VERY SMOOTH. This was one of the first things I did when I got my first look at CPW.

I used to download 720p HD Videos from Tubemate for my SGS.

Now I don't need to download anymore. 1080p HD videos streaming straight from my SGS II >:D

BEST PHONE EVER

Wow What a great way to subject the sgs2 to a torture/stress test! I just have one question that's been bothering me and keeping me from deciding to upgrade my i8910 to sgs2... I read in one the threads here that sgs2 heats up like hotcakes in no time (sometimes accompanied with weird smell?) while playing games... In your test, did you encounter sgs2 heating up especially near the left side above the camera? Because that's what other sgs2 users' experienced.. I hope it's one of those isolated factory defects coz I'm really looking forward to buy my sgs2 once it's out in the Philippine market.. Thanks for answering my question. More power!
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
it did get warm, but i mean it was probably under the harshest conditions it will ever face. warm not hott, thats after extremely heavy internet, i was probably sucking down 10mb/s, as i also had tethering going on in the background (forgot to show that in the video.. but i was streaming internet to my netbook). i would compare the temp of the phone after this heavy stress test very similar to the Omnia HD running joikuspot (wifi tethering)

wow bad explanation ^^ it doesnt get hott, my omnia hd got hotter, so turn on joikuspot on your omnia hd, and tether for 5 minutes and feel it, and just know the S2 is cooler than that.

i have an omnia hd also, do you happen to be a member of forums.samsungi8910omnia.com ?
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
oops `
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I've beat my sgs2 to death the last 4 days and never gotten past warm. I've downloaded/played a ton of 1080p videos. Games, intensive browsing, and everything else I could possibly do and never got hot.

Gotta understand a lot of threads on front page are user error.
[Galaxy S II General] ttl8me:
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.. I'm using my i8910 for 2 years already. Never tried running joikuspot. I did use it for wifi, playing games, watching hd movies.. It did get hot but not to the point that I can't hold the phone.. I'm a newbie here at xda. I just discovered this awesome site last month. I joined this forum because I'm SERIOUSLY CONSIDER UPGRADING TO SGS2.. I really need to know the experiences whether good or bad from you guys who are lucky enough to get their sgs2 before we do here in asia... I've watched so many videos of sgs2 reviews from tech sites, mobile sites and they really hype the sgs2's features, specs.. But for me, nothing beats the review of customers who actually buy the unit coz I think their reviews are the best... Hope with all your comments and suggestions, I can come up with a decision whether to buy sgs2 or wait for another cool phone in the future. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
well its a totally awesome phone, i do think the software needs some mods here and there, but this is all being taken care of currently by all of us users here putting our heads together. i would say that in no time everything will be better than i could have hoped for, this is how it was with the galaxy s1. if you were a samsungi8910omnia.com forum member, you should check out our sister site, samsunggalaxysforums.com its a forum entirely dedicated to the galaxy s1 and s2
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Don't get me wrong, but you don't really think SGS 2 will play 20 tabs of videos AT ONCE, do you (or did I understand this subject incorrectly)?

It will play only one flash at a time, the one on the currently active tab...

But this test gives you the idea of how much memory this beast have and how powerful it is - no question about it :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
So my phone just died on me today. It's turned on, but the screen is blank. I can't see anything, the signs on the bottom (home, menu, back, search) area all bright, but pressing them doesn't help either. I've pulled out the battery the sim etc, but nothing. It'll ring if somebody calls/texts/emails but I won't know who the caller is. I can't even pick up the phone unless I've the original headphone on (by pressing the play button) and ofcourse can't make any phone calls either.

I live in Canada, and can't return it to Tmobile, since I bought it used from USA this year. This phone was bought in Oct last year by original owner so still under htc warranty.

I called htc today and they took down my address and credit card number and asked me to ship the phone to them since it's still under warranty. However I rooted this phone with s-off back in January, so I'm not sure if they'll find out. If they do they will charge me up to $39 for diagnosing the problem.

I tried going to recovery mode by holding volume down button and pressing power, but still blank screen. Is there anyway to un root it?

Do you guys think I should send it in for repair/exchange? Any advice on this will be appreciated. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
If you can't fix it brick it for sure.

I'm gonna assume the phone is still working and able to access h boot and u just can't see the screen

Before you do this I recommend you to do everything you can to fix it.

Did you flash the hboot engineer?

Can you connect to your comp and access fastboot?

If you can't...welll then if I were u ill put a radio on sd card name it pc10img then click voulme up(assuming its flashing radio) (in hboot btw). Then pull out the battery to brick it completely.

well that's just my opinion :p

[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
What's hboot engineer?

I tried to access the phone and memory card by connecting to computer, but can't access it.

How can I put a radio on sd card when I can't access the drive? Is there a way to do it? And last, how does bricking it completely helps? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Does anybody know if it's a problem with the screen or something to do with the software? I've been able to hear the beeps while dialing random numbers after pressing talk/dial number (not that I could see what I was pressing), so I'm guessing it's the screen, but not sure.

Can somebody tell me using their G2 that after you connect it to your computer, approximately how low on the screen is the option to access the memory/phone drive? I remember that the first option was "Charge only" but can't remember the rest of them and their order.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
s-off is probably what I meant. It was a while ago that I did it using the instructions on xda so don't remember the details.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Bump!!!!!! So what other steps can be taken to fix this if any at all?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steellam:
Mine did exactly the same, I took a gamble on the screen being broken and bought one off ebay - fixed it immediately.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Because they might check the phone for possible rooting and etc. And by completely bricking the phone they can't check if you rooted the phone or not and its caused by running custom romm
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Well first to see if you can still fix the phone download sdk. and install it.

Then download the proper drivers for your phone. If your too lazy just go to htc website and download htc sync. It will download the drivers.

Next I'm guessing you didn't flash the hboot engineer?

Its in android develop section rooting thread. Gscrpit no adb needed something like that.

Idk if fastboot will still work or not though if yoh didn't flash the hboot engineer, I'm not sure x.x

You can still try. After install all the proper drivers and everything.

Now pull out battery to make sure ur phone is off. Put it back in click volume down and power button. Plug it in to computer

Open up adb and type in adb devices. If you get serial numbers of your phone then u can flash other rom using adb.

If not then well...its bricked.

put ur sd card on other phone or use sdcard adapter to move the radio on your sd card then put it back in your phone :p

Let me know if you need any help
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
If you can teven boot into hboot by clicking voulme down and powr button its possible that its completely bricked..(like my first g2)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Are you absolutely sure about that? Because, if that's true then I'll might as well brick it if I'm unable to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Thanks for all your input.

I got the SDK from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685

And then I also downloaded the htc sync.

However, I tried to search "Gscrpit no adb needed" but couldn't find anything.

In the link i posted above, there are two methods for installing ADB on windows, one is complete (seems very complicated) and other one is Quick way (without ADB). Does it matter which one I choose? I'm guessing the purpose of installing ABD on computer is to install a new rom in it, am I correct?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
But if it's completely bricked, then how come I can still receive phone calls using my htc head phone? Also I thought bricking usually happens during the process of rooting the phone, however, this phone was rooted 4 months ago and had been working fine since then.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Edited!!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Good news. I figured it out and ran adb and I'm able to see my device. Now big question how do I flash a new ROM or the stock ROM using ADB?
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Cause ur phone wasn't bricked completely I was saying that if you were unable to fix it you might as well brick it completely.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Flash new hboot and recovery then u can flash the rom on recovery.

There is a guide on wiki :)ithink

[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
And what is the purpose of doing that? Also how can that be done?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
I'm pretty sure it can be done through ADB, and I'm not quite sure what the command is (the guys in android kitchen might, or start a new thread). But the purpose is to essentially destroy your device's instructions for turning on, and if the guys at HTC can't turn it on then they can never find out that you had s-off or a custom rom. Also this type of bricking genuinely looks like a bad board or something manufacturer related.

Sent from my shiny metal G2 w/ meXdroid V2
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Interesting. But won't I be better off by unrooting it some how and then getting rid of s-off and putting the custom ROM back in and then send it in to HTC? Or is it not possible to do after this kind of bricking?
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
The first link has all the files you need.

One thing I need to know before I give you the instruction.

Do you have tmpbile g2? Or desire z?

Nvm reread the op n you have tmobile g2.

Well when you rooted do you remember flashing hboot engineer? It was optional.

What method did you use to root it?

If you flashed hboot engineer already you don't need to flash it again. Flashing hboot could be dangerous as it can brick your phone :P

As for recovery, your first link have the recovery.img and instructions on how to flash it through adb.

If you are still hafving problem reply to this msg ill try to write down step by step when I get home
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
This is the method I used to root and s-off. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

It's a whole step by step procedure, first visionary to get temp root and then permanent root and s-off. And then I flashed it with a custom Rom (Virtous). Visionary involved a file named "hboot-eng.img", is that what you are referring to as hboot engineer, if yes, then I did flash it first and then a "wpthis.ko" file.

Now as far recovery, you said my first link (wiki) has it. But first link has ton of info on it about all kind of stuff. Is it the one mentioned in number 7 (Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ) and DHD)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Ok can u access hboot at this point? By holding down and power button? If you can't we have to reflash the hboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
I pulled out the battery, put it back in, held down and power and all I get is a blank screen (kinda like dark blue). So I'm guessing I can't access hboot. Or maybe I can and it's just the screen that's not working anymore and hence I can't see anything.

I say that because I had a pattern set up to unlock the code before the screen went blank and whenever I reboot my phone now, I can swipe my finger on the screen in the specific manner that I used to before and it would unlock the phone. The screen still remains blank ofcourse, but I can change the phone's profile from vibration to loud etc after unlocking the screen by pressing the volume key up or down.

I hope that makes sense:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Hmm. Were you overclocking before this happened?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Nope. Just regular use. Didn't even install that overclocking thing. For past week or so, the screen was acting up though. It would go blank for a while, but then it would come back after a few seconds, sometimes a minute. It happened 3-4 times, and then 2 days ago it just went totally blank (dark blueish if I press any buttons on it).
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
So is there any way to unroot the phone using ADB and then put the stock rom back on? Or to flash another custom ROM on it to see if it's a software issue and not a hardware issue?
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Sounds to me like your digitizer or something else screen related crapped out on you. If you can get it repaired under warranty, that's the route I would go. Corrupt the hboot partition or dont, at this point I think they'll take one look at it and send you a refurbished unit anyway.

Sent from my shiny metal G2 w/ meXdroid V2
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Remember, we are talking about sending it back to HTC and not Tmobile. When I spoke to rep at htc, he told me that they are able to repair almost all of the units that are turned in and hardly send out any refurbished ones. So is it worth taking the risk?

I think I'll be better off by either fixing it using ADB or totally bricking it so that they don't know what happened to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Hmmm... well corrupting the hboot partion still sounds easiest to me. I could be a lot off here but the one command you'll have to do in adb is something like dd = /dev/block/mmblk1p3. Again you'll need to ask someone with a lot more experience than me

Edit: it's a 100% chance of total brick though

Sent from my shiny metal G2 w/ meXdroid V2
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
Well, that would definitely be my last option. But are you 100% sure that HTC won't find out that the phone was rooted if I do a total brick. Secondly, who can I seek help from to get the exact command?

I would still rather try to fix it first, or try to unroot is somehow before i send it back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
I believe that fixing or unrooting it may not quite be an option at this point, but idk for sure. But yes if you corrupt the hboot partition there is no way for htc to even turn your phone on without changing out the board and flashing new radio and RUU, thereby destroying any trace of root and custom roms. If I were you I would start a thread in G2 q & a and just ask what you need to do to make that happen. Someone will help

Sent from my shiny metal G2 w/ meXdroid V2
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtwo:
So from another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053196&page=2) I found out that the I could kill the hboot partition using dd while in userland using something like

Where * = the partition number.

But I'm just not sure how to apply it. Would you know how to use that command?

Hey all just curious. On some kernels I see it allows me to adjust the values and save them upon reboot. Im trying different sampling rates and might have a decent set up if anyone wanted to try it to save battery. I came across a nice write up somewhere ill link up later when im on a computer that inspired my testing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhorn1983:
ya its overclocking its nice makes the phone fast
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
Maybe I dont understand im talking about the advanced tab. It allows to manipulate the scheduling of the cpu. As I understand it the lower the sampling rate the more often in a second the cpu runs its tasks. So by raising that number the cpu isnt constantly running the same tasks as uselessly. This is my rough understanding and my juice plotter results are substantiating my claims.
