Apparently the hole has now been raised. Only problem is the camera holes have already been enlarged so while it will be fixed now, the holes will be bigger (same as in the above shot). I wish the holes would be the original size with the correct position obviously. But as you said, it's not a major issue. I should have these "revision 3" cases next week at the same time the matte's arrive. Matte black, Matte Smoke, Matte Cyan, and Matte Android Green. Should be ready for sale Monday or Tuesday I hope.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Here is the smoke matte

more pics coming..

How about the logo? Pretty subtle I think.. hope it doesn't bug you guys too much. I tried to make it as simple and discreet as possible.

Stuck on big red M. I do everything like it say on installing CM7 6 beta. 2ndinit 1.6 maybe blame?

When I selected default boot "normal", instead on 2ndinit then it boot original 2.2 LOL

Can somebody explain that, I did absolutely everything it say on installing CM7 faq thread.
[Defy General] Dark_Plasma:
After installing sbf let it boot if it does not boot wipe data. root with superoneclick, reboot phone install 2nd init reboot too boot menu select custom recovery wipe data then install cm7 then gapps reboot. First boot can take up to 10 min. This should work.

[Defy General] theweakend:
I'm having the same issue (I'm about 3 below you) I go through the whole process as you did and get stuck at the m (mines not red though) same as you I'm thinking 2ndinit is the culprit. So of any one has 1.4 please post!

Hi guys, I'm looking to install a new kernel on my phone, with rooted Android 2.1 Stock, will this delete any data I have, or will I need to completely reflash my phone?

I'm trying to overclock my phone.

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
You can flash Quarx kernel for 2.1 which is optimized for overclockers, and no it wont delete any of your data as the kernel is located in boot.img

If your moving from 2.1 to a different 2.1 u can keep ur data. Anything else(2.1-2.2) ur Gina need to delete it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I went to use HDMI output for the first time on the transformer today. I plugged it in, received the notification icon that HDMI was connected and the audio on the TF muted (redirected to the HMDI port), but I see no video or sound on the TV.

I know the cable is ok because it worked with my archos tablet.

The cable is pluggged in all the way and I've tested on two ports.

Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocograph:
Hi

I also have that kind of behaviour on the TF side its detecting mini HDMI but it didnt show anything on the TV or monitor side.

But I didnt give up I try on several monitor in my office and manage to find 1 and only 1 monitor it works and showing everything properly its DELL 24" monitor

dont give up and keep trying.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
HDMI was fixed for me in one of the past ASUS updates - maybe with Honeycomb 3.2...

My biggest annoyance, however, is the fact that the bottom bar gets cutoff on my TV, so I can't access the back, home, multitask and menu buttons when using my bluetooth keyboard/mouse... kind of a pain.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
What you need is custom kernel, not custom rom. The problem is compatibility issue with certain name brand tv's. I highly recommend clemsyn kernel. It's compatible with most tv's out there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcorekb:
He's right. I had the same problem with hdmi out and solved it with clemsyns kernel.

But then came another problem, video subtitles doesn't show on the tv u.u

[Galaxy S II General] Erethnor:
Just got my new SGS2 3 days ago, really liking it but stumbled into a screen problem and would like to know if it's just me/it's normal/I need to change a setting to fix the problem.

Just like the title says, the left side (about 1/3) of my screen changes the colour of the image to a more yellowish tint. This seems to happen just when the brightness is quite low, and tends to disappear when close to 100%.

It is rather subtle, but can be seen where there's white text on a darker background (white characters become darker the closer they are to the left border), or when looking at an uniform colour.

I created this test page to make the problem more apparent: http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/

When visiting it on the S2 browser and setting browser brightness to around 20%, it becomes quite visible.

Anybody else with the same problem?

EDIT:

We still DO NOT have pictures of a phone WITHOUT the problem described above!

If you believe your SGS2 has a perfect screen, please post pics of the notification area taken in the dark at both 0-20% brightness and 100% brightness!

UPDATE

Various websites have started to talk about this problem, linking to this thread:

- http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/30/is-your-galaxy-s-iis-display-yellow-on-the-left/

- http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-screen-problems-trouble-in-paradise

- http://www.onlinesocialmedia.net/20...2-s-ii-screen-problems-users-en-masse-report/

- http://gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_...y_uneven_brightness_yellow_tint-news-2719.php

I have just sent an email to GSMarena asking if they could check the unit they reviewed to see if it has the same problem. Of all the phone reviews I have seen, theirs seems to be the most focused on image quality, I'm sure that if their unit doesn't have this problem, they would be able to take clear shots of a flawless screen.

EDIT:

GSMarena took screens of their unit using the above test link, and while so far I believe theirs is the best looking display that we have seen so far, it *STILL* has the problem.

I am going to link this thread to samsung UK next, in the hopes they will give an official answer acknowledging the problem.

EDIT:

latest firmwares seem to fix this problem or at least make it much less noticeable.
[Galaxy S II General] BuboBriff:
Take it straight back and swap it. Seems to be a growing amount of people on here, including myself, with various dodgy screen issues.

B
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
The screen doesn't look perfect if you look at a uniform color on the whole screen + low brightness, but... well I don't tend to use it much for that. Could be a limitation in OLED production-technology getting all the pixels to have exactly the same brightness/color etc.

edit:

To answer directly to the question here, no I don't have a yellowish left side. It's just not completely uniform across the whole screen.
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
I've got this same thing. I first noticed it when using Estrongs file explorer. I always have my screen turned down to 0% to save battery, but didn't notice this anywhere else yet (at least I didn't think about it).

Your posted image does show it clear.

What to do? Could you others comment whether you've seen this? Go to the OP's posted link and set your brightness down to 0%.
[Galaxy S II General] Erethnor:
I tried to mess around with settings such as auto adjust screen power etc, but the only thing that seems to fix it is crank up the brightness.

We obviously can't keep it anywhere close to 100% tho, this phone sucks battery down quickly already at 0%!

Another thing you can do to check if you have this screen problem is call *#*#0*#*#*

This will make the phone go in the diagnostic program, and if you try the white diagnostic, you can somewhat see the problem, although not quite as clearly as in the test web page I posted above.

I'm considering to return the phone, as it doesn't seem to be getting better, despite having read that some screen problems might go away after a few days.
[Galaxy S II General] Seabass1:
Mine is exactly the same. It's noticeable at the lowest brightness setting, however if I increase the brightness even slightly it pretty much disappears for general use. It's still there but not really enough to bother me.

On the OP's link I changed the brightness through several settings and at certain brightness levels the whole screen gets a yellow tint. Not necessarily related to the left side of the screen having a yellow tint, apart from I guess a lack of brightness of the blue subpixels relative to the red and green.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but I think it has improved slightly on mine over the past week. However if it gets any worse I think a warranty claim will be in order.
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
Hhrrmm, I'm in a catch-22 here. There's generally a grace period for any manufacturing errors like this where you can quickly get a replacement just by returning it to the vendor. Problem is, my vendor won't be getting any new units in for another two weeks.
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
I don't see it clearly on the link he posted.

But i do see it in the notification screen. The grey area is slightly darker/yellow tint on the left site. Even when i put it on maximum brightness you could see it. Especially when you first concentrate your eyes on the right side for 5 seconds and than on the left side.

I do seem to notice it on the notification grey slider where your finger is on when you pull it down, on the left side the grey is a little bit "darker" than on the right side of mt finger.

I tend to think I can also see it on the keyboard, whereas the Q has different grey than P on the opposite of the screen...

Anybody could check this out on their phone??

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
As time goes by, it feels like my problem is getting worse, although it may only be due to me being aware of it.

Also began noticing it in the pull-down message field. Now I see it against white backgrounds as well, almost like a faint green-grey shadow.

I've contacted my vendor and requested an RMA and replacement. They're sending me a shipping slip to send it to them "for control" then they'll contact me on my options from there. Can only hope they see it as clearly as I do and that they send me a new phone as a replacement rather than repair/refurb crap.

Think this is the last time I buy electronics online. I saved 20% off retail on this one, but having the option to do a walk-in replacement at a brick-n-mortar store would have been worth the higher price. <sigh>
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
I've got the same thing aswell, a slightly yellow/brown-tinted shade towards the left side of the display. Also visible for example in the market menues, the white areas seem to be very slightly darker towards the left side.

Not sure I am bothered about it enough to return it, doesn't bother me unless I specifically look for it. Also it really is very slight.
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
If everybody has it, no problem for me.

But if the majority does not have it, I would like to have one without it. Do you think Samsung knows abouth it?

When you have a full grey pictuere or just the notification screen and you go into a perfect dark room. Can you also see, some white vertical en horizontal lines? Looks like hardware where the screen is build on?
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
Here is a photo I took of my screen with a grey background (see below - click on it to enlarge).

For me, its visibility seems to vary depending on the ambient light, but I'm definitely seeing more effects of it now.

Really hope I'm able to get a good replacement. Am reading quite a bit about this, banding, lines and dead/lit pixels.
[Galaxy S II General] ams84:
so do you think it's a hardware issue, or maybe it will be gone??
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
The lines you mention are present both on my SGS and my SGS2. It seems to be patterns in the actual OLED pixels, and the patterns and lines are static even when you move pictures. Mostly visible on lower display brightness settings. I've gotten used to them and they don't bother me, and since I have the same thing on two SAMOLED-phones I'd chalk that one up to "just the way it is" aswell. Using anything over 50% brightness has them mostly fade into the display light so only really visible on the lowest brightness settings.
[Galaxy S II General] drleospaceman:
This what you mean?

My Samsung focus and Cowon s9 (which I don't even think has a samsung oled screen) have that as well on the lowest brightness, I think its inherent to the tech.
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
Ah ok thank you!

On a grey pick with full birghtness I can see them too.

On the post 2 post above yours(quist his post) you can see the lines, but now they are not white, but darker, can you confirm you see them and this is what you mean?

Do you also have the yellowish tint on the left side?
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
For both the SGS and SGS2, the dark lines are there for my devices aswell. They can seem a bit "grainy", and don't seem like perfectly defined lines, though they generally are always straight horizontal or vertical lines. I also have the Xperia Arc at hand, and if you look at a grey-ish image on either the SGS/SGS2, or the Xperia Arc (LCD), the Arc generally has a very smooth grey image, while the SGS/SGS2 has almost like a fine overlay of subtle lines or grids, generally darker in color than the image displayed, though not clearly defined and not completely symmetrical across the display.

Doesn't seem symmetrical enough to be a grid fo the digitizer layer or smtn like that, but definitely a pattern in the display itself. I still pick an AMOLED screen anytime of the day, the Arc display, while more uniform and "blemish"-free in this regard, still has that LCD backlight bleed-through which for me makes the display alot more tiring for the eyes.

Also my SGS2 has a very subtle tint towards yellow when viewing some of the grey test-images some people have posted. Never noticed it on my SGS1, so either I didn't look well enough, or it might be either hardware-related (something causing the pixels on the left side to perhaps not get the same amount of control voltage/whatever for the pixels, thus causing less blue/more yellowish color), or software. Either way, it is way too subtle for me to care at all, maybe this is even according to spec for the SAMOLED+ and some use will even the pixels out, not sure if anyone has some inside knowledge about the SAMOLED screens.
[Galaxy S II General] Erethnor:
I am definitely seeing this problem getting worse, now it is getting rather obvious as long as phone is lit by artificial light or in the dark, while sunlight seems to make it really hard to spot, even if not direct.

I've been given advice from samsung call center to bring to phone to the closest assistance point, which I'm going to do tomorrow - hope to be able to report back that it is a known problem and they will change my unit.
[Galaxy S II General] matt310:
I hate to make an iPhone reference here, since I'm *not* a fanboy, but Engadget reported when the IP4 was released that yellow spots and banding were due to glues that had not completely dissolved/disappeared and were part of the bonding process of the screen:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4s-yellow-spot-issue-goes-away-with-a-bit-of-time/

Now - the picture above showing a completely yellow left-side display - that looks 100% abnormal and I'd RUN back to the store to swap it out. I don't think that's glue related.

Download an app from the Market called "Dead Pixel Test" and run it with the white setting to see what it looks like. Is it still yellow?
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Have this same issue. Noticed it right away unfortunately. It will always bother me if I deal with it.
[Galaxy S II General] sachilleas:
The pink spot problem is also present in mine. Such a shame sammy...
[Galaxy S II General] xclusiv8:
Has anyone written to samsung about this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] stijnr:
Isn't the pink spot supposed to be better with new firmware?

Also, in a dutch forum somebody posted these photo's:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7103852/SGSII_notificatiebalk002.jpg

Some people do see it here, some people don't. But it is definitely better than by screen.
[Galaxy S II General] icet69:
The photos are to dark to see the yellow tint - if there is any.
[Galaxy S II General] Seabass1:
The left side of the screen looks darker on those photos, but it doesn't look as bad as my phone did. If my phone had been like that I think I'd of been happy to keep it.
[Galaxy S II General] ranwej:
Almost not noticeable... Not comparable to my display, where it is very visible. I will want to exchange my phone, I want display like on those photos.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
I think they all have the issue. We haven't seen a single photo that doesn't have the problem :/
[Galaxy S II General] stijnr:
I also saw these burn-in contours of the keyboard once, but it disappeared after a few seconds. So I'm not to worried about that.
[Galaxy S II General] Sorbis:
Hi everybody, i have this issue too.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Diehard have you actually seen a sgsII in real life? Had it in your hands? We are probably the 0.5% of SGSII owners who spotted this problem. It actually isn't a BIG enough problem to spot in everyday life. For me personally I'm a bit of a perfectionist. So thats why im getting mine replaced. (Waiting for all the u.k first batch to disappear) You can't see it unless yoy go out of your way to find it.

Some don't have this. One in london cpw didn't have it. Tried low brightness and everything. Screen was immaculate. I think Sammy are having a hard time manufacturing samoled+ and underestimated its popularity.
[Galaxy S II General] Nurra:
I was really worried about this issue after I read this post. However I went ahead and bought the gs2 I'm really happy with the screen. No such problem.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I honestly think this issue has been blown out of proportion. Normal users can't see this problem unless you specifically set it out so that you can spot. Obviously perfectionists like myself and others will be dissatisfied and like I said getting a new replacement soon. Hopefully new U.K batches will be different.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Couldn't disagree more. It's a color gradient across the screen. It's very noticeable. Especially after spending $700+

We still have yet to see a photo of a screen without the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
I can easily spot the issues people discuss in this thread and others like it, I'm just glad I'm not so totally anal so that it would ruin the phone for me.

If I had been that anal about a phone I'm pretty sure the whole world would continually piss me off ;)
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
We need to get any of the people who have successfully returned to try to get a reson so we know this is a known fault. A model number listing would be great too. When I get mine what should I do while in the shop doing the unboxing to check for this before I go home?
[Galaxy S II General] sachilleas:
You should access the dropdown list and look on the left side of the screen for the yellow tint. Compare it with the right side..
[Galaxy S II General] sachilleas:
Couldn't agree more. Where's is sammy to inform us what is going on with these problems? I don't like apple but they quickly comment and resolve such issues...samsung is nowhere around.

Do you know when the next SGSII batch will be available ?
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
I had one from one batch and one from another. They're the exact same unfortunately.

I don't know what I'll do at this point. I can wait if I can swap it down the road.

I've tipped Engadget androidcentral and phandroid. Maybe one of them will get a response.
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
My DOA period is over too, and did not changed mine, I would just get one with the same problem. So hopefully this problem gets confirmed by samsung and we all can change the phone after or DOA period.

But I have a also other screen problems, but nobody ever answers them correctly. Can you eallan?

1) My dialer buttons(grey) don't look good on full brightness, it look s like banding? I can see different "lines" of grey. You can also see it in the clock widget, wher you add alarms... They grey is ugly where you can turn your alarms on and off.(see my topic for more info)

2) i noticed that with the pull down menu the bar where you put your finger on changes in tones of grey/pink purple. When i scroll it down i can see what was earlier on the screen(contoures of it) like the squares of the icons, they get visible in the bar. Also the word "contacts" seems to be visible when i pull it all the way down. Could you check this? It disapears and adjusts after 15 seconds.

3) the blue tint on the screen when viewing in angles. See my topic in Q&A. I posted some new pics of engadget where you can see th eblue tint when the screen is turned off... Is it some coating, anti reflective? But than again, in that topic my opening post shows 2 sg2 one without it, so they leaved the coating off, or forgot it?

4) When i was typing a message the other day in a club(dark) i noticed when i finished and went to the pull down menu to erase notifications that the contoures of the keyboard stayed visible for 20-25 sevond on the grey area of the pull down menu. Is this normal? do you have it?

Thanks for answering my questions!!
