[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icetempest:
Hey guys, i dont know if this post exactly comes here but im kinda desperate witht his, lets see:

My phone its a I9000B Chile, tryed to flash to CM7 Rom, rom loaded great, BUT, i didnt have IMEI, or any signal, i coudlnt use 3g, nor add APN. So i tryed to flash it with odin back to froyo, since Odin hung, i disconected, making my cellphone semibrick, found a ROM for my model, flashed it with 512pit, it was happy i could use my phone again to try to clean install CM7 but.. NOOOOOOO. It happends that it loads SGS screen, and then starts vibrating, screen turns black and it keeps vibrating, theres nothing i can do right now without your help.

Pleaase somebody! Ive been working on this since 2AM and its 8AM =/, gotta get some rest but im worried about my CP destiny!

SOLVED:

Reflashed using voodoo_latin_C1[SND+Video+Lagfix] kernel => recovery mode, mounted USB support, put CM7 zip inside, reflashed CM7, wiped all, and reflashed again => Working !

Glad you got it fixed :)
[General Questions and Answers] nok3:
hello everyone,

I have a Samsung galaxy S android 2.3.3 with tweaky rom. When I boot my phone then it says at the bottom of the screen 'Stay awake activated', what means that when I charging my phone, the screen won't off. So during the night my screen is on for 6-8 hours....

Now.. there isn't any option to disable it. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thank you very much:)
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
before...with the 2.2 version in settings-development-- you had the option of enable or disable it... but with gingerbread now you can´t (i hope) i think that its a WEE OF. bug..

this question is soo multiplied in many forums:(

EDIT:idea! you can try some market apk for turn of your screen.. browse for it...

maybe !"extended controls" can do it ;)

http://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mobile-global/status-updates-for-the-lg-optimus-2x/221518191192842

To all users of the LG Optimus 2X! As it is always important to keep your smarpthone updated, we're sharing with you that there will be a software update starting mid to end of May. This month's updates will include improved multimedia player support such as reinforced video format and music/video player functions as well as a more stabilized patch to prevent rebooting/freezing that are occurring for some users. LG is working hard to maximize user experience as always. Please check with your local LG service centers for when and how you can get these updates. Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Sounds good even though my 2X is working perfectly. Improvements is always nice.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
From pocketnow; http://pocketnow.com/android/lg-to-release-optimus-2x-software-update-in-may

Why not just take one or two weeks more and release Android 2.3.4, Gingerbread?
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
That sounds great :-)

but do i need to unroot and unfreeze the bloatware before i update to 2.3??
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
i don't think you need to remove the root. unless you have a custom ROM.

i wish that there's a way to check via OTA to see if there's an update ready for the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
The Optimus one update has leaked and was 2.3.3.

So I expect the one of O2X would be 2.3.3. aswell. Also seeing the G2X leak being 2.3.3
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
That would've been nice. But LG didn't said that it was a Gingerbread-update...
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
True, but why would they announce something in such a big way.

also why would release roms leak, if they were testing it.... test roms would leak.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Because there has been an outcry about how turd the existing builds are?
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Reported on phandroid.com today:

----------

LG informed us that they’ve found the issue and have applied a fix

"The patch that we’re issuing will address the random freezing or rebooting problem that we’ve identified when:

- the phone is being charged

- the power button is pressed to wake up the phone

- the phone is in stand-by mode"

----------

http://phandroid.com/2011/05/16/lg-...-rolling-out-to-europe-to-fix-random-reboots/
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
So mayb it will be a biggass update.
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
They should just focus on getting Gingerbread update out and forget about Froyo minor updates. I don't understand what they're trying to do here. Late update is really late!
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
I prefer fixing the whole BSOD reboot issue, then having 2.3 ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] felixthecat:
could be a delaying tactic to sell more phones or they are expecting 2.3 to be delayed
[LG Optimus 2x] jan1000:
NeXT thing they should fix is the call quality.

Call quality varies too much now.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
Damn, if they really fix that issues, I'm definitely buying this!!! Screw SGS2, no Tegra games (haha!) :D

P.S. I also think it is better to fix this (NOT minor) bug on Froyo, just to prove it's a SW bug :).
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
Exists something that is working right in this phone :confused:

They have to do much more than a little bug fix :mad: but let's see ...
[LG Optimus 2x] _mightyI:
Looking forward to this update, maybe cm_arcee and the other cyanogenmod guys can learn something to prevent actual instability in cm7 (but anyway cm7 is great so far...)
[LG Optimus 2x] Oasis81:
the phone works perfectly for me...

i think it's not always the phone that has problem...
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
:D true :D
[Android] antonymilo:
Hi i am new to porting roms for HD2...Is it possible OR is it just difficult to port the SGS rom to the HD2...?
[Android] seanyuan62:
did you ever get any help on this or figure it out?? i was wondering the same
[HTC Sensation] Barlows:
I've just received an email to tell me the phone is out of stock and delivery will be 2-4 weeks!

:mad:
[HTC Sensation] InspectorFrost:
I think that seems to be a stock mail that goes out after a pre-order,

i had the same, they did the same thing with the launch of the original nexus.

i called Vodafone to make sure that was the case and was assured that it was....still, you never know, the woman may have been lying to get me off the phone!

im gonna expect mine on the 19th but i wont be holding my breath just in case
[HTC Sensation] C225:
I sent them an e-mail about not receiving my credit check response and they replied saying it was not in stock but the credit check was fine.

As long as i have it by Thursday i'll be happy.
[HTC Sensation] Barlows:
I've had a reply back from VodafoneUK on Twitter..

I was hoping it was just an automated response as technically they don't have any in stock!
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
Yeah when I ordered mine they told me it would basically go straight out as it arrived to them so they will be 'out of stock' for a while, or at least until preorders are filled.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Yes, I got the "2-4 weeks" e-mail too but assumed it's just a generic e-mail.

When I spoke to Vodafone yesterday before placing my order, I asked if they had sold out of all their initial pre-order allocation. They said no, and that I would definitely get my phone on the 19th May.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
My desire was out of stock when I pre ordered. Had to wait 2wks. Hope u guys get yours so u can tell us what you think.
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
I just sent a tweet to Vodafone uk asking if the Sensation was still on schedule for the 19th. They replied saying, 'yes, you will receive a dispatch email soon :) ^ER'. Sounds promising.
[HTC Sensation] InspectorFrost:
Sounds good...im not allowing myself to get to excited tho....just in case

Glass is always half empty for me !
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
Promising, but it could just be marketing bumpf. Fingers crossed!
[HTC Sensation] Barlows:
Am I the only person collecting from store?
[HTC Sensation] InspectorFrost:
No, i shall hopefully be burning to the store on Thursday
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
Am collecting from store too. Hopefully this week :)
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Peeps who ordered online usually get screwed when it comes to delivery time as it's like a different sales division. Typically online team have so many phones to sell, but the telephone team also get so many phones to sell and the high street shops have so many. They WON'T dip into one another stock levels.

I got stung when pre-ordering the HD2 early on, only to find, people ringing customer services on the day of release were receiving their phone the very next day. Infuriated, I cancelled my online order, as I got a sorry we are out of stock email. And re-ordered by telephone. Was a bit of a ball-ache doing this on the phone, as you had to speak to different sales teams on the phone.

My advice is to keep ringing the telephone team and when they say they have stock, get it ordered. :)
[HTC Sensation] Barlows:
I'm going after work on Thursday, hopefully make it before it closes at 17:30!
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
I managed to pre-order mine over the phone, only had the confirmation to say that my order had been processed! Hoping to get the dispatch email tomorrow! Last exam tomorrow, so I can play with my new toy on Thursday :D :D
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Chuffed for ya mate, let us all know how good it is. I've decided to wait until after my honeymoon to get one in mid june. Nothing like being stuck outside the country to stop any impulse buying... agony lol
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
I'm collecting mine in store too, hopefully on Thursday!
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
No, getting mine from shop too.

I thought I would have had an email by now as I thought it was going to take a day or 2 from email to me getting hold of it...and they said I would get it *by* the 19th :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Ruudfood:
I think I'm going to wait until it's out in the Netherlands to see if the rumour of 16GB internal memory is correct. I'm highly sceptical but you never know.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Mine is unlocked. Just tried my T-Mobile SIM, and it works fine.
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
I should get mine later today. I thought all Vodafone supplied phones were unlocked anyway. My 18 month old HD2 is definitely unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Just out of interest, those who got their dispatch email (like me) where on earth is the tracking number?

My device has been dispatched (was last night) and should arrive today, but I see no tracking number in my email :( Lol
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
to summ it up

hi guys

check below

SGS II

quadrant 3467 x 0.74 = 2566

linpack 47.25, 1.77

smartbench 3729 x 0.74 = 2760 , 2260 x 0.74 = 1673

Sensation

quadrant 2245

linpack 46.3, 1.81

smartbench 2232, 1639

I am not an expert when it comes to comparing synchronous or a-synchronous CPU operation, i can only understand the difference in pixel count and thus adjusted the results of the benchmarks by a factor of 0.74

If pixel count is the only REAL factor affecting benchmarks and not the CPU synch or a-synch issue, then the SGS-II is positioned higher than the sensation in terms of performance

Would someone with experience in CPU operation jump in and shed more light on how this issue would affect benchmarks

I want to buy a phone and i am trying to make a scientific judgement on which one performs better

Apparently both have some issues in battery life and WiFi connectivity, the sensation screen seems to be more reflective than the SGS-II as noted by the guy that already has the phone

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Stan3k:
I too got a dispatch email but no tracking number. The same happened with my HD2 18 months ago - just a dispatch email when other folks reported getting a dispatch email and tracking number.
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
I don't think you get a tracking number when it's being delivered to a shop.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
How many times does it have to be said. Benchmarks for Android really don't mean a lot. If you really want to run them, you have to run them quick a few times, discard any stupidly high and low results, and take the average.

As far as "issues" with battery life go, it's still a case of people thinking a smartphone will last as long on battery as a Nokia 3310. Which is stupid. Also, when people get new devices, they play with them. Turn everything on. You need to let the battery condition itself, perform a few charge/drain cycles.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
It's being delivered to my flat.

Oh well, it says it should arrive today (the email does at least), let's see what happens!
[HTC Sensation] Stan3k:
Mines being delivered to home.
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
oh -weird. :confused:

I'm sure you'll get it today.
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
Yes you do mine is going to the shop and I have the tracking number.

You should have the number and a link to the Parcel Force tracking web page
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Don't have either sadly. Mine just says it is being delivered here (my flat), and that's it. Mine was an upgrade, maybe the email is different? Hope not :(

Really want a tracking number!
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
to answer your question on sync and a sync is that with a sync cpu the cores will run at the same clock speed whether both cores are needed or not... downside is more power useage. while with a sync the cores can use multiple clock speeds depending on demand etc.. which cuts down on power usage and varying clock speeds... i think thats as simple as i can put it plus its 5 am and i have been up looking for a good review of the sensation
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
Ah, maybe I should be worried too.

I haven't got a tracking number and I got the 'Your order is on its way ' email at 12:40 last night. I thought I couldn't track it as it's going straight to the shop. Now I wonder if I'm getting mine today at all! :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Stan3k:
I got the same email at 12.40am last night without any tracking number. I emailed CS asking for a tracking number for my home delivery, and just got an email back. I checked on the parcel force website and it is out with the delivery driver as we speak :)
[HTC Sensation] flangepiece:
Got a text from Voda saying my order has been delayed. Bah. And humbug.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Managed to get my tracking number, via the Twitter page. Sent a message saying I had no tracking number, and a few direct messages later, now have my tracking number :D
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
Mines just been signed for at my local Voda store. Will be off to pick it up soon :)
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Doing the same in about an hour :). Can't wait to have a phone again. Removing all the vodafone junk though!!
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
That's if removing it is not blocked...
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
SGS II quadrant depends highly upon I/O I suspect I/O is less for sensation seeing gsII using loop mounts etc from starts so u cant be multiplying quadrant, same is for smartbench it too depends highly on I/O only thing u can be changing is the GPU Benchmarks by the resolution.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
What you said above is not really improving things for the sensation. If it is true then the SGS II blows away the sensation and the results are below.

guys don't get me wrong i am a happy owner of Desire HD :-) just trying to determine which phone to buy

SGS II

quadrant 3467

linpack 47.25, 1.77

smartbench 3729 , 2260 x 0.74 = 1673

Sensation

quadrant 2245

linpack 46.3, 1.81

smartbench 2232, 1639
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
quadrant is flawed and smartbench productivity is too much dependent on I/O, right now my Nexus One would be scoring more on quadrant n productivity than GSII. U should be comparing Linpack, GL Benchmark, Gaming Index on smartbench, Nenamark, CPU, 2d, n memory on quadrant advanced.

Edit - Just scored 3426 on quadrant on my nexus one @1.13ghz data2ext, I guess my N1 is faster than both ;)
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
I got this from another forum in the Netherlands questions about the pixel difference. and the benchmark score comparrisons. and how to calculate them to be about the same.

"Translated"

Uhm by the way is it 518.000/384.000 = 1,35 -> 35% more pixels for Sensation

Or 384.000/518.000 = 74% -> 26% less pixels for SGSII ?

and the answer was that it needs to be calculated with the 35% more pixels for the sensation.

sorry about the maybe bad english, but quick post during work.
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
Also Sensation is being recognized as a single core by all apps including Smartbench and Quadrant. Just go in quadrant, system info, No. Of cores = 1 so i suspect its the same case for smartbench thus its benchmarking using only one core. Benchmarks need to be run multi threaded to be on both cores. If its only run single threaded, u can pretty much forget the good scores as the Kernel can't put a single threaded app on 2 cores
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
Well mine was signed for at 10:18 off to collect it now :p
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
This raises the question when comparing to the GSII, how is that beig recognized.

If also 1 core than we know the difference, but when it's readin 2 cores I guess the sensation will blow the GSII away.
[HTC Sensation] TermyJW:
Holding my new HTC Sensation on Vodafone in my hand. It's pretty awesome so far!
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
I seriously don't get the obsession with benchmarks. Do you guys use your phone just to jerk off about your benchmarks scores or do you also care about fluidity of ui, browser speed, battery life and such? No one knows how or if these benchmarks are even applicable for the new devices anyway. Do you benchmark your dreams our do you live them? Never seen anything more boring than benchmarks discussions.	At least create a separate topic to discuss this nonsense and spare us.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
ok

Fair enough, but in this case Quadrant and smart bench should also see one core in the SGS II. This is not the case as they are seeing two in SGS II and giving insanely hi scores

Please correct me if i am wrong

The linpack scores for both mobiles was almost the same (46 for sens and 47 for SGS II), how does linpack differ from quadrant or smartbench ?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Couldn't agree more.

Once again, may I state that, benchmarks mean very little on phones, especially Android devices.
[HTC Sensation] DuoM:
I very much doubt this. From everything we've seen, including the version of the processor that Qualcomm clocked at 1.5GHz and then ran benchmarks on, the processor in the Sensation is quite a way behind the processor in the SGS II in CPU performance and a little way behind in GPU performance.

Of course with the higher pixel density of the Sensation it falls even further behind on GPU performance.

I don't know why people in this forum are struggling to show that the SoC in the Sensation is as powerful as the one in the SGS II, it isn't.

As for talking about screen resolution and doing calculations, etc, etc, who cares? What matters to the user is the end result. I don't care if the Sensation WOULD have beaten the SGS II in a test or if it WOULD have rendered a particular set of graphics without stuttering *IF* it's display had been at a lower resolution, it isn't. In the end it is up to device manufacturers to put more powerful GPUs in their handsets if they want to increase the pixel density and keep up with the Joneses on performance.

Despite the SGS II ruling the roost I was happy to go for the Sensation because it ticked a lot of other boxes for me. From information that came out in the autumn last year I was expecting the Qualcomm SoC to sit at forth place when it came to dual-core CPUs and this expectation hasn't changed. The SoC used in the device *may* yield benefits when it comes to battery life though but we will have to wait and see. I would like to see how this device does in terms of battery life when it comes to playing a movie continuously or some other activity that primarily burns one core.

The main downside is that it's locked down by HTC and I note that we are coming up on the three month mark with the Incredible S and there is still no solution that will unlock the bootloader of all IS devices (this may kill it for me). I don't really care about Sense 3.0, from what I've seen so far it seems to mostly bring flash rather than functionality to the handset (plus a requirement for more processing power, which means that HTC are going the wrong way with it as far as I'm concerned).

If you really need the most powerful phone on the market right now get the SGS II. Or better yet get the SGS II and overclock it to 1.5GHz. Otherwise there are a number of other choices available that have different benefits and drawbacks.
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
could someone say in which way it´s branded?

only some apps and settings? or also some kind of startup things,....

so is it possible do completly debrand it? and is the firmware version a special vodafone one? or will it be possible to get the future updates like the unbranded version?

thx!!!

[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
Just to tell you how fail smartbench and quadrant are. I just benchmarked my Nexus One - Productivity - 1056 Gaming - 1405. Quadrant - 32xx So does it mean Nexus one is almost as good as something 3 gen or ahead of it. No. The Benchmarks which i count to be legitimate, trustworthy are

1. Linpack (CPU)

2. GPU Benchmarks like GLBenchmark, Nenamark, Neocore, 3Dmark

3. SunSpider(CPU)

4. Rightware Browser mark(CPU)

Just compare these and ull know how a phone performs. Other Benchmarks which go ahead and start mixing all scores just can't do it properly. They tell u nothing about real world performance. Linpack tells you how fast ur phone will run a java based application and Android is all on Java, Sunspider n Rightware will tell u browser performance and GLBenchmark, Nenamark, Neocore etc render graphics that are gonna be used in real world rather than running graphics benchmark that tests shader etc one at a time as everything is gonna be running together. Galaxy S II and similar device score more on quadrant and smartbench cuz of I/O similar to what is on my nexus one. I need that on my nexus one as i am using my phone off ext partition. When ur using it off an Ext partition I/O goes too high thus affecting the score too much. Just benchmarking I/O i can score more than full benchmark of stock nexus one n I/O in real life doesnt affect the performance of the phone. ( Unless ur using a ****ty parition type) So when ur clubbing everything together the scores are just pumped up. Just compare individual benchmarks rather than a clubbing of all. Ull get the real world performance
