how will taking apart a dell monitor help fix screen bleed on a phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
I think the OP thinks its all relevant but is highly mistaken
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I Am a picky bastard.....I have a light screen bleed. It took me 8 hours to see it after buying it. I don't even notice it at all during my usage. Based on this and compared to what I have read and wen from others devices posted here, I will NOT return my device.

While some people may have it worse than others, I think some people have a higher expectation and some people have a legit issue.

Nonsense!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I have light screen bleed as well, but I noticed it minutes after turning the phone on. I'm not going to return mine either, and it's too late for me to do so anyway.

Still, this or really any level of light bleed is inexcusable on a device of this class and price range. None of the three LCD TV's in my home display this defect, my 3 year old laptop and my 2 year old MT3G are similarly unaffected. My newer LED lappy and of course my N1 are also bleed free.

I did once return a cheap Best Buy 32 TV because of light bleed (clouding as it was called on AVS Forums at the time) This LG phone is the first time I have seen light bleed on any name brand display in a few years.

While I'm not saying a little light bleed around the corners is the end of the world, I still think this issue represent a huge QC and PR failure by LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
Ya know, i'm tired of the excuse "LCD screens just bleed". This IPS panel is pitched as cutting edge technology, not cheap crap. My cheap ass VIZIO LCD television is 4+ years old, and not an ounce of bleed. It's certainly the furthest thing from pure black, that much I expect... that's the kind of "Light Bleed" that is common to all LCDs. These spot lights in the corner, or browning around the edges of the screen when view white images is a defect. Furthermore, SEVERAL phones are out using LCD technology, and other than a few reports from the Thunderbolt, I have been unable to find a single reported case of Backlight bleed on any thread for any phone on XDA, or anywhere else on the internet.

Matter of fact, the only other product that comes up when you search for backlight bleed is the Apple iPad 2, which had it's display made by LG. The complaints about the bleed on that display were so bad that Apple had to switch to Samsung for their displays until LG gets it together... this despite being in a law suit with Samsung, proving it wasn't just a "small" issue for them either.

Also, it obviously is not causing a wave of free devices, as TMobile announced today they're raising the in-store / web price by $50, then put in small print that only a small percentage of people are having issues with the phone. Obviously it's an issue or Tmobile wouldn't have felt the need to add that. Never seen that accompany a device's online sales page before.

I'm willing to bet these free devices are already refurbs that got returned because of backlight bleed, so they're getting rid of them for free so that at least they can get someone on a contract, and a person paying $0 for the phone is less likely to complain.

Hey,

I'd like to revert to wm6.5 for a while for several reasons and I'd like to now if there's a way to keep Google as my main account. Let me rephrase : I'd like to keep using Contacts, Gmail, Calendar, etc. and see them sync with WinMo 6.5, whether it would be through Outlook or anything else.

Is it possible ?

Thanks !
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

What android are you running?

If you are on NAND ,do you have SENSE ROM?

If you are on SENSE ROM, you can use Activesync to sync with outlook.This will keep your contacts and calendar.GMAIL will save with Google and you can open this using ANY operating system(pc or phone).

If you don't have SENSE ROM,there is a progam called MyPhoneExplorer ,which will also work.

:)
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Google has a program that syncs the google calendar with outlook, I use that to keep my schedule in sync with my android tablet.

Are there bigger batteries that I can currently buy for the device?

Something which will extend my battery (by a significant amount)?

If so, I'd appreciate if you could link me where to buy one / the name of the battery.

If not, I assume companies will start making them soon, so is there any information about that?
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Samsung has made this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-power-pack-extended-battery

That gives you a total of 2950mAh. Looks like it's coming out in june or thereabouts.

Buying 3rd party extended batteries can be ok, but they always have much lower capacity than what they claim on their websites.
[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
But doesn't an extended battery mean that it's a case with a battery?

Aren't there going to be any battery replacements that will give you more battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Not without making the phone thicker, which is exactly what this is doing, while at the same time giving you the option to shed that weight and just use the standard battery when needed.
[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
Wouldn't it just be easier holding a spare 1650 mAh battery then?

or an external one to charge the 1650mAh that doesn't make it thicker? one that has over 1300mAh?
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
That depends entierly on what you want . For me I think the best option would be to have a clip-on battery case that I use if I'm going to be extended periods away from a power socket. For you maybe it's better to have a spare battery, I don't know.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Battery is that small on SGS 1 i kept a spare in pocket .

[Galaxy S II General] Moandal:
The two options that sound best to me are:

1) Spare battery

2) http://www.clove.co.uk/proporta-usb-turbocharger-5000
[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
Neither of those options appeal to me.

I dont want to be carrying extra separate items with me, it adds bulk and then there's the hassle of having to physically change the battery, and keep two charged.

At least with the extended batteries, your only changing the one thing, and sure it makes the phone thicker, but it also serves as a protective case.
[Galaxy S II General] Phytrax:
The option that sounds best to me is for Samsung to get their F***ing heads out of their F***ing asses and make the phone 2 moth******ing millimeters thicker so we can get decent battery life!!! I mean seriously, who needs a phone to be this thin??

Ya it's cool to be thin but can I just have a $700 phone that I can use without being neurotic about power settings? Oh ya, and 2mm would have been just enough so that my phone is not resting on the very fragile camera lens every time I put it down.

In every other aspect I'm in love with this phone but you have to be a complete bonehead to make that call on the battery.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I cant speak for everyone but i get great battery life. 2x the battery of my vibrant, I can get a 1 1/2 days easily before it actually dies.

I am interested to see what extended batteries will look like. I think powerskins will make a great battery whenever that happens.

[Fixed]

Hi there, so i have this problem. Suddenly the option "view facebook contacts" (or smth) disappeared from my People > all > view options.

Everything else regarding facebook seems fine, its just that the option isn't there and my phone book is showing only my old messy contacts (before facebook sync).

When im trying to link my contacs again one after another, i cant find the contacts in facebook list - there are no contacts of people i had linked before, and no contact photos. This is obviously some kind of a bug.

Ive uninstalled the Facebook app from the market, but thats not the issue.

Reloging, system restarts etc. dont help at all..

[Solution]: Ive somehow managed to reset that built-in facebook app from the settings pane (accounts and synchronization) and that fixed the problem, had to link all contacts again tho.

-Press menu

-Press settings

-Scroll all the way to the bottom

-About 5th from the bottom you will see 'smooth rotations'

-Press the tick

-Now go into a web page and turn your phone sideways, the page should wobble a bit

Done :) I think its a nice addition to the browser ;)

Thats a very nice find. How did you work that out!? Not as smooth as it should be but no doubt its just a feature in development hence the trick to enabling it... possibly a work in progress? Is there any way of enabling smoother rotations for main screens as well?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pure.egyptian:
I started off with an unlocked/unbranded htc desire, on stock froyo. I then rooted using the unrevoked method, and did a nand backup. Then I installed the latest version of gingervillain. But when I tried restoring just the data part of the backup, when I rebooted it got stuck on the gv bootscreen. Is there anyway to restore just the data onto a different rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMSsecret:
Nope their is as far as I know no way to do that. Use Titanium backup and backup all apps + system and when you have a fresh gingervillain installed again just let it restore and you got all your apps with cached data back (like save-files in angry birds and stuff, user dictionary, ... )

Hello Sensation owners. I just wanna know where your sensation was built at. I know they're manufactured in different countries. Most likely Taiwan or China, if anything, else where. This "MIGHT" affect the screen quality. Example: Inferior Display Quality or Superior Display Quality screen. You can check it underneath your battery or else where (box)

Here a Similar thread in the mytouch 4g forum

Mine was manufactured in Taiwan
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
I take it that Taiwan has the superior?
[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
Hmm more like China.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Lol. They aren't going to manufacture one device with different components in different countries.

I know that the Desire changed screens at the start, but that was because of a shortage of one type of display.

To add, manufactured in Taiwan. I think all HTC devices are, that's where HTC are based.
[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
That didn't happen for the mytouch 4g. Clearly Taiwan uses Sharp as there lcds and China uses Sony as there lcds. Anyways well have to see. When it arrives from in the USA. Ill ask for one that is made in China.

[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
Hi, can someone who has the official Desire HD pouch please take a photo of its edges so I can compare mine to it?

I have seen people say theirs is real leather and mine is most certainly not - it smells of leather but the shiny edges which merge directly into the 'leather' prove it is not. Not sure if mine is a fake or what - got it cheapish on amazon marketplace.

Heres mine for reference.
[Desire HD Accessories] panart:
I got it on ebay from this seller
[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
Thanks. Either we both have fakes (unlikely); I'm mistaken, and it actually is real leather (don't think it is); or HTC's definition of leather is different to mine. What's your verdict on the material, do you think it's actually leather?
[Desire HD Accessories] panart:
I think it's real leather because:

1. There are wrinkles where the material folds (like the bottom).

2. It smells like leather.

3. I remember that the box looked genuine.
[Desire HD Accessories] alexluckett:
Agreed :) 10chars
[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
Bonded leather is a possibility. Sorry about discussing this in two threads, alexluckett - I made this one before seeing the other one.

The cracking is more evidence it is not genuine leather - google says genuine leather doesn't do that, wheras faux leather does - I can confirm that by looking at my leather wallet.

About the edges being made of plastic, my point was that the edges are not seperate to the rest of the case, as far as I can work out. This is easier to see on the pull tab section, where the smooth part (the plastic edge) merges into the 'leather' part (on my case at least).
[Desire HD Accessories] panart:
I did the flame test :D

As you can see in the attached pics there is no damage.
[Desire HD Accessories] sbdags:
It doesn't look real to me and if it's the £4 from Amazon then it is not real leather ;)

[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
How do you know it's bonded leather?

Also, can bonded leather legally be advertised as 'real leather'? Can't find much about it on google..
[Desire HD Accessories] allenf:
I can't believe I've just spent 20 minutes reading about leather and derivatives thereof :p

"Depending on jurisdiction, [bonded leather] may still be labeled as "Genuine Leather"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather

Funnily enough I've just gone back to my Amazon order from January, and nowhere does it state that the case is leather (of any description).

That the the case is a genuine HTC item is hinted at in the description ("HTC HTCPOS550 Desire HD Ace Mobile Phone Pouch by HTC").

It doesn't have the texture and look-at-me quality that upmarket "real leather" cases have (Piel Frama, beyzacases), but it does have a faint leather smell and has the used leather sheen and feel to it. And the edges are rolled. And it does the job.
[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
It seems that on some sites it's described as leather, on some it's not. On the amazon (UK) page, it doesn't have leather in the title, but it does in the description:

:confused:

On other sites such as expansys it is described as

Unfortunately, HTC doesn't have any accessory information at all on their website so there's no way of knowing if the error is HTC's fault or the sellers' faults for misinterpreting the identity of the material. I am sure it is a genuine HTC product though, and if they are describing it as leather themselves they should be ashamed.
[Desire HD Accessories] Foladko:
Why is this so important anyway?

I wouldn't care if it were made out of paper that looked enough like leather.

It's job is to protect our phone and I honestly don't care what it's made of.

Mine is still in good condition after 6months.
[Desire HD Accessories] PeatCoal:
In my opinion, it's important that a product is advertised properly. It's a consumer right that a product I buy is as described. It stops people getting ripped off, being disappointed with their purchases, etc etc.

As well as that, I am of the opinion that real leather is more durable and more suitable for the job - for example, panart's pouch already has wrinkles at the bottom, those wrinkles could easily turn to cracks, and with more use, the material could snap completely. If this happens once the warranty/return period is over, he'll have to buy another case.
[Desire HD Accessories] RED_:
I got mine from Amazon and it is like yours.

For what its worth i think that it is real leather but they have covered up the edges with fake leather. There is definitely a different type of leather on the edges and i believe that is the fake stuff where as the actual pouch is real.

I don't like the pouch anyway since i can't use my headphones with it. I don't like silicone cases though so i need to find a pouch that will let me use the headphones. I've been putting my phone in upside down and because of the camera sticking out the case has widened and my phone is loose when inside.
[Desire HD Accessories] allenf:
As the sockets are on the bottom why not head first into the pouch?
[Desire HD Accessories] RED_:
I've edited my post, the pouch has become loose from doing that. Not the worst thing in the world i guess.
[Desire HD Accessories] alexluckett:
HTC do have an official accessory store, but it is run by Expansy's on behalf of HTC :)

I think that measuring mA usage is one thing that the Sensation cannot do no matter which widget/app you use.... this is a bit of a shame because mA usage to me is a good way of monitoring battery usage.
