[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
There is an option in the display settings about "Auto adjust screen power" and I thought I heard that this adjusted the brightness when there is a lot of white on the screen (like a browser) to save power.

Try this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbum:
Good idea. Unfortunately that's not it. But thanks for the hint, i've seen that dynamic brightness thingy in action and wondered whether i could turn it off.

No, it seams to be a less obvious solution. I'm thinking of the trick to change the user agent. Something like this, but there does not seam to be a about:settings or similiar. Any ideas? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
You can change the useragend using about:useragent, but doesn't have anything to do with brightness settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
Yeah this guy's right, the user agent doesn't have anything to do with brightness or the backlight at all. All it does it trick your phone into thinking it's a desktop PC so it doesn't show the mobile version of websites....as for the auto-brightness, have you got XWKE2 installed? Samsung have much improved the auto-brightness from XWKE1 and XWKDD.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbum:
You guys got me all wrong. I meant just like Samsung hid the option to choose the user agent, there must be a place to disable this annoying 'feature' as well. I know what the user agent does, don't expect me to be a total retard because of my 1 digit post count ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgstwo:
No, it tricks the web server, not your own browser.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
There's no need to be pedantic about it, it makes your phone display full sites not mobile ones, is that acceptable for your exacting standards?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgstwo:
You said something that was wrong, and I corrected you. Why are you being so defensive?

Anyway, I'll make a note that you can't stand being corrected. Happy?

[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Just experienced this weird thing so.wanted to let you guys know.

I am sure many of u will be using countless torch and heart rate monitor apps out there.

Today I was using heart rate monitor app for first time on this phone and the damn thing got so hot so quickly that out almost burned my finger tip after just 20 odd seconds.

Expecting something.might be wrong with the app, I started torch app, and same thing. It got hot.enough.to cause burn.

So just a friendly advice, dont use it for long period. Its getting too hot for my.comfort to even use it as video flash or torch for more than few seconds

Sent magically from Samsung Galaxy S 2.
[Galaxy S II General] D4rK.F0rcE:
tried "flashlight" and did not experienced the problems you mentioned. switched the LED on for 30secs, after that the LED wasn't even warm...
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
I just ran a flashlight app for a good few minutes didn't even get remotely warm. Was just as cool as it was without running the LED. So no issues (bar accidently blinding myself, christ that things bright)
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Its more severe with heart rate monitor apps when your finger needs to be touching LED and camera lens.

None of the phones before this caused any discomfort using this app. But you cant keep your finger next to the LED of this phone.

Try it even with torch app, put your finger steady on the led and wait for 30 seconds.
[Galaxy S II General] mchimney:
I didn't even know LEDs could cause that much heat
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
OP - yes this LED heats quite well especially when you cover it with your finger to prevent heat dissipating.

Guys who claim your LEDs do not heat up - "you are doing it wrong" ;), all LEDs heat up, it is a physical process. Your battery heats up too when being charged or discharged rapidly. Your Amoled screen heats up too. Electronics - no current will pass through it without heating it up. How much is another question.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Exactly, this one heats up lot more when you cover it for apps like heart rate monitor compared to say DHD or Nexus S or any other phone I have used recently.

DHD will feel luke worm and stay that way regardless how long you use it.

This one gets toasty way too quickly.
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
You got it completely wrong, it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE. When you take the pulse of the unconscious person (surely after consulting the CPR app), the blistering heat of the phone LED will restart their heart!

2 FEATURES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

That's value if I ever saw it.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
You got it wrong. You measure your heart rate, make sure you are still healthy, and then light up a cigarette with the LED lens.
[Galaxy S II General] eddie21:
What app is it to turn the led on ?
[Galaxy S II General] renegade1488:
and there i was thinking i was the only one who couldn't handle the heat using the heart rate monitor apps, definitely gets much hotter than my desire ever did
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
There is many flashlight apps on the market. A light one I am using - Search Light

Also try out the Heart Rate Monitor mentioned by the OP in this thread - this is the app where you hold your finger to the camera covering the LED light.
[Galaxy S II General] mduncan2:
Have you thought about sending the Dev of the heart-rate app a request for them to add a bit of functionalitly to adjust the light output of the LED ?

I suspect that the LED is a much, much higher rater Lumen output unit compared to all other phones. This provides all of us with better 'flashes' when taking photos. The heart rate monitor apps will not need all that light to just shine into the skin to detect the color changes as blood pulses through the capilaries. I bet you that the heart-rate monitor app developers never considered that they'd have an LED that bright to use. So a simple way to fix it would be to have a setting in the app that you adjust to get the LED only as bright as absolutely necessary. You then save the setting, and from then on the app only turns the LED on to that brightness. This would then stop the LED from heating up so quickly.

The only flaw in my above plan / suggestion is that I don't know if the LED brightness can be adjusted.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
This is a good idea, bu I bet hard to implement. Agree on your last point. According to comments on that particular app that I linked above, the dev has problems switching ON the LED on the huge number of Androphones out there. Every phone would have a proprietary LED with its own driver, and I am guessing limited Android API directly for the LED? I am not a dev though , can't speak to this with authority.
[Galaxy S II General] jjs87:
turned on the led with flashlight app but after 2min i got bored. Im not sure if the led warmed up or my bodyheat warmed up the led but in any case it was still far far from hot.
[Galaxy S II General] Madrenergic:
Covering a bright light source with your fingertip generates heat? You don't say! :eek:

Come on guys, where do you think all the light energy goes to if it can't escape your finger? Conservation of energy, anyone? First law of thermodynamics? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
Not getting hot when o use it either
[Galaxy S II General] guest member:
Some of the higher power LEDs require heat sinks.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Light energy need not always be converted to heat energy.

the blood circulation actually helps to take heat away from the hot spot.

This is first phone that can actually harm you if you do not move your finger. Human finger is not a solid passive body, so just imagine how much infra red energy this source is putting out.

The aim of this thread was to make people aware of it. Imagine what can happen if you left torch on and kept it on table facing down.

My last 2 phones DHD and Nexus S comes nowhere near this.

But gotta say that heart rate app works best on sgs2 due to this. You can actually see the light pulsating with your heart beat.

[Galaxy S II General] Abra_Cadabra:
Out of curiosity downloaded the app (Instant Heart Rate - Free) and tried it.

I thought the app was some novelty crap but it really does seem to work :) .

Held my finger to the LED/Camera for almost 3 minutes, got slightly warm but nowhere near uncomfortable.
[Galaxy S II General] Madrenergic:
True only in principle. Light energy doesn't have to always be converted to heat energy, but when it's trapped between your finger and the LED itself, where do you think it's going to go? I'll give you a clue: it's not kinectic energy.

Also, yes it is true that your circulatory system can help redistribute heat, but the circulation of blood in your fingertip is nowhere efficient enough for that purpose, not least in this scenario. Nature never saw a need for our ancestors to go about sticking their fingers into heat sources for extended periods of time.

Lastly, your fingertips are some of the most sensitive parts of your body. It should come as no surprise, then, that a little heat is sufficient to produce pain, and that different people may experience varying degrees of that sensation.

I do not and never have disagreed with your purpose of starting this thread as a warning to users, but it is worth noting this as a general safety guideline to never attempt to cover bright light sources with your body parts unless absolutely necessary. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
I've noticed with the last several nightlies on CM7 (I think from 71 and above) that the Last.fm app starts scrobbling a track whenever I pull my headphones out of the phone, even with no music playing. It's always the same track (Sonic Youth's "Mote") regardless of what I was playing before. The Last.fm icon will appear in the notification bar right away. The only way I can get it to go away is to start playing and stopping another track. I use Power Amp with Last.fm scrobbling enabled. Has anyone else run into this, and if so have you figured out a way to stop it? Not sure if this is caused by the app or the rom. Any help would be much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
Did a superwipe and all is good now. Not sure what caused this but oh well.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qudwis:
im using windows 7 64bit and trying to learn adb and cmd

i was watch how to install adb and following..

after installing adb and drivers and added adb on system variables

i type cmd and then typed C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

after that i typed adb devices but got an error

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

what do i have to do here?? T.T
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feedhead:
If I'm not mistaken in Win7 64, the Android SDK installs ADB to c:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
that is correct. i'm on win 7 x64 and its there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knave68:
Type cd then space in front of C:\....

That changes directories.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_happy_cannibal:
First confirm that adb installed where you think it did.

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Hit the start button in Windows and copy and paste your path from above into the Search programs and files box. If the path is valid, Windows Explorer will open to that directory.

If the path is not valid, try typing adb.exe in the search box to see if Windows knows where it is. If it comes up in the search results, right click on it and select "Open file location" and Explorer will open to where it is installed.

Once you have verified where adb is, you should be able to pick up from where you ran into a problem.

I attached the .pdf that I followed when I first installed adb ... I wish I remembered where I got it so I could credit them appropriately. The screen-shots might be helpful to you.

(Note: there is a typo on page 8 where the System Variables are setup paltform should be platform)
