[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willk22:
Well, isn't the tegra version of the phone meant to be released with an slcd? Mabye the pictures show both versions of the phone.

However, as the tegra version hasnt been confirmed properly yet I doubt this is the case. Just a thought...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
Mine looks like the engadget pics I posted on the previous page... and it is definitly no slcd.

So what could the blue coating be? it is defently not the screen...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erazer007:
Its just the angle. I dont think engadget changed the phone in between the shots. In the first shot the light is falling over the GS II screen. Same thing would have happened if the GS was in place of the GS II.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
I know it's the same device, i just showed the other pic so you can see it is not THAT noticable.

On the picture that show it, the samsung GS and the S2 are shot from the same angle, but it is only visible on S2.

When you look to my OP, co you think the difference in color, is due to the picture of engadget. That it is not from the screen but from some coating and that the device that does not have it in my OP, would probably not have this coating?what is it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willk22:
Well if we take a look at what we've got so far (I love lists...)

- Gorilla glass may contain a slightly bluish tint, probably due to its oleaphopic coating (or however you spell it(I looked it up, basically replels oils from your fingers so the screen is easier to clean))

- Read a couple of theories that blue pixels in AMOLED screens tend to fade quicker, so mabye the intensity is turned up on them to compensate for this further down the line.

- I had a thought that mabye it was deliberately done by samsung to make whites less battery consuming? AMOLEDS consume more battery when displaying whites so mabye this slows battery drain?

Basically, if the cause is the last two points then it sounds like a software issue and hopefully it can be fixed by some talented developers. If its the gorilla glass then we are all stuffed :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
I think we can eliminate the software problem. Because the blue tint can be seen with the screen off...

So there is the hardware problem. As you can see in my opening post, with the two GS2 next to eachother, one is having no blue tint, one does have it...

We should have pictures of these two with the screen off, but I took the pics from a different forum.

I searched anti reflective coating, it seems to have a blue tint, could this be it???

But if not both phones have it, the on without the blue tint, does not have the anti reflective coating?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dima613:
It is not a fault at all neither with hardware nor with software.

It is just a background effect what you can change yourself!

Go to Setting -> Display -> background effect

you can choose either Dynamic , Standard or Movie. I beleive that is why in the pictures phones are slightly different. I personally prefer Movie mode, colours are nice and warm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm111:
Lol.... /facepalm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erazer007:
Nope even with the same background effect and brightness, two phones can be different
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
LOL, tought the same thing, haha.

Drm111 what do you think abouth it? Anti reflective coating?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColeHarris:
It's most likely that the glue that Samsung uses to adhere the screen to the glass panel hasen't completely dried yet, it should dry clear so give it a couple of days and the tint should disappear.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janny_buh:
I don't think it's a problem with glue or something similar, the blue tint is too much uniform (checked with 2 different samples).

Previous Galaxy S has the same problem, my friend has one from an year or so and it is still very bluish...

The question is: are all SII bluish or some are whiter than others? (the first photo demonstrates that there exists at least one it the world!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketor:
I have mine since wednesday and the blue tint also appears when I look with a slight angle.

I have a friend who have a GS1, and is screen was really blue, my gs2 is not as blue, but it's like I only see this now, even when the screen is not tilted.

On this website (I need to have 8 posts to put an url) googe "lesnumeriques" test, they notice also this blueish tone, but they are right it's only visible on white surfaces.

I had a AMOLED HTC Desire, and you could watch at any angle without having any slight color tone changing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketor:
I believe mine is not as badly blu as the one at the left in the pitcures

the one at the right shows a bit of blue when viewed from an angle
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper_79:
have this same problem and i just find the phone completely unusable 'coz of this!! coming off an hd2 i just can't bear to look at this screen, and it's really getting on my nerves now. was really excited and now equally depressed... need to check if the phone can be returned :( !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well well I was interested about this setting, what this setting actually do? I have set it to Standard, what changes will be noticeable if changed to either Movie or Dynamic?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcaz:
The most noticeable changes will be the ones you observe after taking 10 seconds to change the setting and check for yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Yes I have checked it. The Standard is better. Movie one is terrible :)

Same with my A500. I get a "write protected" message but no way to change the permissions on the SD card to remove write protection.

I can see the internal storage space

I can see the internal SD of the tablet on my windows box...not the sd card thats in the slot. I did however install usb drivers from acer they are on the support homepage of the acer a500
[Acer Iconia A500] ksnash007:
sd card from pc

You should be able to go through sdcard folder to external memory. Acer gives root directory instead of just sdcard.
[Acer Iconia A500] eppingwest:
I cannot see external CD card as well via PC.

Astro reports it in /mnt/external_sd

Hello, yesterday I rooted 1st time my DHD with this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076

everything went perfect etc after that I downloaded ROM 'TashakBate' 200mb~

after that my DHD went crazy :< and now I can't do anything I cant even unlock it

so any ideas what can I do?

If there was already post like this sorry I couldn't find it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rory1980:
Hi there,

Okay the process you linked (assuming it went well) should have provided you with a rooted device with S-OFF.

Have you tried rebooting the phone into recovery? Did you download your ROM via ROM manager? At what point did your phone start "going crazy"?

As much information about the issue as possible will help us to help you :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
please post the things that you tried before posting...

and well... it seems that something went badly when flashed it....

try to re-flash but Do fullwipe (fact.reset, data caché, and dalvik before flash,and after do battery wipe)

in adition... you revised the "buglist" of this ROM?maybe there´s something that provokes it.....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekhm:
As I said everything was just perfect before this "tasha~" I installed other rom which was working excellent. When I installed this tasha I cant even unlock it

which means I dont have acces to menu etc , All what I got is many erros like

"process com.htc.bg was close", "process com.android.phone was close", "Application HTC sense~" And yes I downloaded it Via ROM Manager
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekhm:
I dont have access to phone menu All what I can do is look at unlock screen
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
you can´t enter to recovery menu?CWM..

also in fastboot?

THE BETTER THING THAT YOU CAN DO IS ENTER RECOVERY...if you can´t.... enter into fastboot and flash the pd98img and restore a clean rom for start again....it´s the better thing and the most effective sure....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
i think you are not dealing what are WE talking abouttt... :(

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekhm:
ok so:

"enter into fastboot and flash the pd98img and restore a clean rom for start again....it´s the better thing and the most effective sure..."

How can I do this :D!

Btw could U give me ur msn so we could talk there instead of spamming forum ? : p
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
it´s not necessary msn buddy!here we are well.... also maybe others learn of our conversation,, not true?:)

okay... first thing.. ensure you that you can enter to bootloadermenú and enter into fastboot mode (white screen with 3 droids)

u can do it?

for enter in bootloader turn off your device and then press vol- and power button at the same time Until starts the bootloader....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekhm:
I said before that i can't do anything on my phone ; D its like toy without functions etc. When im trying to unlock screen I got loads of errors and thats all. I can't even turn it off.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
WTF?¿?¿?

you don´t tried to remove the battery and to return it to put?

Say to me that already it had happened to you please:o
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
ok @Ekhm, post here if you are now into the bootloader ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekhm:
ok my bad when I put 'fastboot' there is some checking and says

LoadingPD~

No image
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
ok you are in the correct way... your device is claming for the pd98img file

now you must to download the PD95IMG file for restore your device...download it from here..

http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9

its a .zip file...

then you should to put this file into the root of sd-card... repeat not in any folder...

later... when you pasted it into sd (with a card reader, or with another device)... put the sd into your device again, reboot again into bootloader, enter in fastboot and wait for an automatic installation of this file...

(later press my thanks button and enjoy again of your new DHD lol):D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
remember... after flashing pd98img file you are going to adquire the 1.32 oficial version of android 2.2 (the older) for flash another rom you know that you must to root again, and install THE RECOVERY for issues like this...

next time read step by step everything before flash anything... yiu´re not bricked your device for a few...

Hi Everyone!

I just want to ask, how can i make my mp3 files from my memory card, as a ringtone or notification alerts in my x8 with lizypen's miniCM floyo 2.2.1?

I tried copying mp3 files to system/media/notification/audio...something like that, but the phone said it cannot be copied(i read this somewhere, which works for my samsung galaxy ace)...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Try to mount R/W.
[XPERIA X8 General] annamattias:
Make this foldes on the SDCARD:

alarms [for alarm]

notifications [for sms and so on]

ringtones [gah :D]

and put the mp3 for blablala
[XPERIA X8 General] malungkot:
Better to download/install handcent SMS from the Market. Great apps and you can use it to choose customized MP3 ringtones in every contact and notification alerts..
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
Or you can use app like PlayerPro to set a ringtone in your phone.

Hello. I have rooted and installed the wireless tether app which is working perfectly. However, there are times when I am on the road out in the middle of nowhere and I need to charge while tethered to my laptop. Can someone direct me to a USB tether app?

Thank you in advance.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Why can't you just use wireless tether, just plug your phone into the computer xP

There are USB tether apps, they just cost money.... you willing to shed out some cash?
[Continuum General] y0himba:
Sorry, but that isn't the question I asked. There are times that I prefer a USB tether. Is there a free or low cost USB tether app?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
How about you do a quick search on the market and try and find one o_O it's easier to do a quick search in the market than it is posting a whole new thread :|

As i said, yes there are tether apps, but no they are not usually free..... easy tether lite is the only half decent one...

Also, if you would've searched online, you would've seen that Verizon is not letting us download us apps like this anymore for the most part.....
[Continuum General] y0himba:
Again, thanks for the help, but as I said above, it is rooted, meaning I can use 3rd party apps as well. I have done a search on the market, but as part of my research I always ask the folks here that are "in the know" about these things. Finding the right app when you are new to an OS is not always a simple matter of doing a Google search or looking in the marketplace. It is always good to ask those more knowledgeable than myself.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
PdaNet is a decent USB tether app along with EasyTether. Hope this helps.
[Continuum General] y0himba:
Leave to someone with the name of a statesman and a good beer to be helpful. Thanked. :)

I never did like PDANet. Has anyone used EasyTether?

Other suggestions?
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
I've used EasyTether. I prefer PdaNet.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
I've used easy tether. It's fairly easy to use, but it takes a bit of time to set up when you first use it. After you have the desktop client installed, it's a breeze to use.

Ugh, desktop client needed. Not to fond of the need to install additional software. I appreciate the input however!

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I didn't see a thread with a direct comparison of the Xoom Keyboard and the MS Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000.

I'm a happy Xoom user and have not purchased a keyboard yet. I've seen separate mixed reviews of each keyboard and wanted to know if anyone had an experience with both keyboards?

Maybe after the 3.1 update, some of the "keys sticking" might be fixed with a new bluetooth stack, but to be honest, I haven't read that as part of the upgrades/fixes.

I'd appreciate any help on this as I'm wanting to buy a wireless keyboard in the next few days.

thanks for you help guys.

I was in a phone call when my (stock) alarm went off, ended the phone call and had no way to get into my alarm to turn it off. I could get into the alarm settings etc. but there was no way to turn it off, just the settings for it.
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:
This seems like it happens to me every time I use the alarm (which isn't often). I cant shut the damn thing off - and have to pull the battery. It doesn't matter what I am doing at the time the alarm rings. What is the trick to it?
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
If you guys are using a aosp Rom with cm7 lock screen sense clock alarms will not shut off when using them so either get the HTC lockscreen apk to use the sense alarms or just use desk clock apk u can find it on a few roms. Or in the forums works for me. Cm7 lockscreen will cause issues with sense alarms not shutting off.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
i've only had that issue when using a sense rom with asop lockscreen... but i believe that is an old problem and i dunno about a resolution

i have used alarm droid in the past to by pass the normall alarm does all the same and even backs up ur settings alarms from rom to rom which is kind of nice :)

Get desk clock apk from cm7 or find it on here use it instead of sense alarms works fine.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillTheCat:
Hoping some of you technical guys can help with this question.

I own an Inspire/DesireHD and was trying to understand how Android memory space works. Is all the device memory one pool and the ROMs partition it as needed, expanding to whatever size they require and leaving the remainder for cache/dalvik/RAM?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm running RCMix Kingdom .2 and it's larger than Capy's 6.1 version. Obviously this is attributable to Sense v.3's larger footprint. To compensate, I would be perfectly happy to remove some programs I never use like Teeter and Polaris Office since I own DocumentsToGo.

What I'm getting at is that if I wanted to reduce the ROM footprint to return more memory to user space for runtime and programs, how would one go about doing so?

Thanks in advance!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowOokami:
Since today my phone acted weird... it keeps transmitting data and I can't figure out what. It used 18mb since this morning and drained the battery from 100% till 30% in less than 5 hours (bad reception at work) I tried rebooting the phone, killing all apps etc but it kept going. It's going insane slow (less than 5KB/s) but it never stops. I just charged the phone till 100% again and it started again about 10 mins ago. I installed the Swype Beta yesterday, but removed it because I suspected it of transmitting beta data, thought removing Swype didn't stop the data transfer.

Is there any easy to figure out what the heck is using all this data while idling? Normally my phone uses 5MB/day and that's including pushmail and whatsapp and the battery lasts for more than 24 hours.

I haven't installed any weird applications in the past 2 weeks (except Angry Birds and Swype...)
