Is there any way to correct the colours on the Defy display ? They look a little washed out, a little vibrance wouldn't do any harm. A screen calibration tool would be good, but I don't think that there is one compatible with Defy.

Maybe something could be done on kernel side ?

Any ideas ?

P.S: I'm coming from a Omnia7 that had SuperAMOLED, the colours were very vibrant.
[Defy General] shiftear:
Check this out. Defy has the same screen, and, actually it is very good color wise, almost perfect color reproduction.

displaymate. com/Nexus_Droid_ShootOut.htm

I think most other manufacturers overdo colors in general, especially Samsung. I really don't like thei screens, too much color.

And to answer your question, no I don't think you can calibrate these screens so easily.
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Would adjusting the brightness setting do the trick? Especially if you're in auto and there is something blocking the sensor.

At what point did you get stuck at the red m? What had you just flashed?

It sounds like a problem with the boot image. Are you sure you used the correct one (wifi or 3g)?

Try holding power and volume up for a good 15 seconds yo try to kill power. If you manage it, use power and the volume button (I think down) to get into fastboot and reflash a new download of the right boot image.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Wow. From preliminary testing, the Sensation's performance is pretty underwhelming. I was seriously considering it before I got the SGS2 because I've had a lot of luck with HTC phones and I like the QHd screen. I'm not Sensation bashing but the results speak for themselves. The phone got really low quadrant scores when it was tested pre-production as the Pyramid. They've improved, but not tremendously.

SlashGear 5/20/11 - In terms of performance, the Galaxy S II keeps its crown at this early stage. We ran benchmarking tool Quadrant Advanced, and the Samsung scored 3504 overall, with 7119 in the CPU category. In contrast, the HTC managed 2245 overall, with 5918 in the CPU category. I/O is also low, at half the score that the GSII manages. Bear in mind, though, that raw benchmarks generally don’t tell the whole story, and depending on how HTC (and Samsung) throttles its processor, results will vary widely (you can see that in the video above, where both phones get different in a different run of Quadrant; the CPU appears to be so new that Quadrant can’t identify it, either, in the System Info pane).

It’s too early to say whether the Sensation offers enough to take the Galaxy S II’s spot at the top of our Android leaderboard, that will have to wait for the full review. Its display holds up surprisingly well to Samsung’s Super AMOLED Plus, though we’ll have to see whether it can match the GSII’s impressively lengthy battery life.

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-video-20153280/

For skeptics, go here and watch the benchmarking and web browsing tests of the Sensation before leaping to its defense.

http://www.youtube.com/user/samjpullen

P.S. - I'm sure as HTC's flagship it's a great phone and will undoubtedly serve millions of users well and develop a loyal fan base. But, for this user, I'm happy I went with the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
take note that resolution in the Sensation is higher than SGS. Given that though. Still Samsung's own Exynos chip craps over all others.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
In fairness to the HTC, Quadrant scores really have to be taken with a pinch of sodium chloride for the most part. Still, unless they have put a decent battery in the thing, I can't imagine it will compete in that respect. The Desire HD has a terrible battery life.

EDIT - having looked at the HTC's specs it really is in 2nd place behind the Samsung in my view. At best it could match the performance of the Exynos but I suspect it won't be able to when software is written to take advantage of Samsung's chip, it only has 768mb of ram (as opposed to 1gb on the GS2) and 1gb of internal storage unless you put a card in it (in comparison to 16gb on the GS2 currently). Then there is the battery life which is less. You only have to look at the screen shot above to see the screen isn't as good quality wise. In fact, apart from the increased screen resolution and perhaps HTC Sense, I can't see a single thing I would take over the Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] ECOTOX:
You realize quadrant doesn't use multiple cores right? Quadrant is a **** benchmark, use smartbench2011 or something (btw I knw u didn't test these)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
we can't also ignore the 3d tests being capped to 60fps on samsung either
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
CPU test has nothing to do with resolution.
[Galaxy S II General] rd_nest:
I wonder if there is any method to test the full potential of the gpu bypassing the 60fps cap? Just to know what this is capable of
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I wouldn't have been so taken aback if it was just one benchmark by one source. The only reason I'm even following the Sensation is I could have gotten it for 1/2 of what I paid for the SGS2 and wanted to see if I made the right choice (and I'm objective enough to admit failure). It's still early and once more are in the wild we'll see how it fares in things like battery life, camera, sound, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS which we have no shortage of comments on.

Watch this, it's a benchmark of Quadrant and Linpack and the reviewer is certainly being objective:

http://www.youtube.com/user/samjpullen#p/search/10/6RHziztN2gs

And this is real-time browser performance:

http://www.youtube.com/user/samjpullen#p/u/11/JBJT_n6u7Wk

Again, not bashing the Sensation but both HTC and Samsung have gone out of their way to position the Sensation and SGS2 as their "flagships" opening up the right to be critical. With people on this forum going nuts about a .05 second delay after hitting the home button imagine the hue and cry if the SGS2's browser behaved the way the Sensation's does.
[Galaxy S II General] Raspster:
WOW, and that's with "on demand" flash..? the SGSII gets WAY better than that with "always on" It really is like night & day when it comes to performance. I guess you gotta take into consideration that the sensation IS a QHD screen..? More pixels..? Either way, the super amoled + makes up for that loss and then some.
[Galaxy S II General] momagic:
Galaxy S2 is better but I love the build quality of the Sensation
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
The sensation has the same problems everyother htc phone has. Your guaranteed to have crappy audio(tiny sound) and dust under screen.

Does the qhd screen make sensation near a 1000 points less then the sgs2?
[Galaxy S II General] nhat2991:
Looking at the article on Anandtech

anandtech(dot)com/show/4144/lg-optimus-2x-nvidia-tegra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/4

The Qualcomm CPU is only partially out of order. It is more similar to a Cortex A8 than the Cortex A9. Since A9 is faster than A8, I guess, clock for clock comparision, Sensation's slower performance is expected.
[Galaxy S II General] KingKuba13:
The cpu part of quadrant or the benchmark overall?

Because resolution is a HUGE part in scores.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
The sensation might nit be the fastest phone but it had Sense, after coming from the Desire to the SGS2 I appreciate how much effort the put into that to create their user experience, it beats the iphone hands down.
[Galaxy S II General] Digital1325:
Starting to wonder if the bad audio (both loudspeaker, and tinny call quality) have something to do with the build materials used? Both Samsung and Motorola = plastic and have superior sound in comparison. Sigh, guess I'm waiting until a Canadian carrier picks up the GS2, and hopefully by then, most issues with it are sorted.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I must be one of the few people on here who never really liked Sense.

Sent from my £2.99 Casio digital watch.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Your not alone. Not that I didn't like it, I just find LauncherPro better. ON my Desire - it's a LOT let laggy. A few widgets and it was lag-central on Sense - but i will miss the general UI if I get a GSII such as the round-edged-rectangular boxes, the colours. I generally prefer it to the blocky rectangles on TOuchWiz, but then again TW looks really sleek.

Also people must stop confusing build quality with "feel". the build quality is "supposed" to be superb. it's made from a lot of plastic, yet there are no creaks. It's the the lightness and the "feel" of the plastic that makes it feel like a "poor" phone. There is only one upside though - when you drop it, because it's not heavy it's not going to hit the ground with as much force.

(feel free to correct me if you actually have a GSII, which I don't! :/)

[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
Hey, gang. I hope I placed this thread in the right forum. I did some careful research and, after seeing most requests placed here (and the subforum description matching the topic of my thread), I stuck it here. But anyway, on with the point!

I am requesting a Droid X2 forum. I want to try to be constructive, so here are some reasons for making it:

- The phone has already been rooted with GingerBreak. This means that the forum won't simply be used for requesting someone find a way to root (though I'm sure people will complain about the bootloader for a little while, ha)

- Despite the near-exact external design, the internal hardware is different, and carries a few 'firsts' for Verizon. Specifically, a Tegra 2 processor (first dual-core phone on Verizon) and qHD screen (highest-resolution screen of any Verizon Android phone).

- The aforementioned changes cause some variations in apps: they can either be displayed differently because of the resolution, or behave differently because of the new processor.

I mention that last one because I believe the Droid X2's different enough to warrant its own forum, rather than having any questions/discussions be lumped in with the first X's forums.

Anyway, I think that about does it. Thank you very much for your time.
[Motorola Droid X2] rushless:
Agreed! Make it so :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
Another great reason to add the forum is that, because the exterior is pretty much exactly the same, the picture of the Droid X can be recycled for the X2! Haha, presto, almost done!
[Motorola Droid X2] SDracis:
I agree, would love to start ROMing on this and need a place to post. I picked up mine and rooted it immediately.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Ok, I edited my inital post since the last one sounded a bit light. But, I think this is the best android forum out there, and I would hate to see folks go to another site just to have x2 discussions. Anyway we can get this added? Any reason why we would not want this added?
[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
I don't think there's any reason why we wouldn't want it added. I think there's probably a certain threshold that has to be met before they will add another forum to the ever-expanding list. There's a few Android phones without respective forums, mainly because no more than a couple people around here own them-- and even fewer would have any interest in talking about them (sup, Motorola Devour).
[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
A bit of a double post, but I've also taken the opportunity to grab the official Droid X2 picture off of the Verizon website and make it appropriate for use as the forum image on XDA:

As you can see, I mainly just removed the Droid eye, but hey! Trying to do what I can to make this as simple as possible for the mods and admins, should they decide to fulfill the request.

Anyway, I don't get it. The Bionic has its own forum, why not the X2? This is a totally different device with totally different issues than the X. Any update on this?
[Motorola Droid X2] SuperDeform:
+3 on x2 forum, have to start somewhere
[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
It makes sense to me. The Bionic, when the forum was made, was seemingly much closer to release than it is now. With so many, the staff is approaching forum creation carefully. There's already a staggering amount here, so I can only assume that they don't want to make forums for phones that will get little-to-no attention.

The best way to get a forum made for the X2 is to remain civil, positive, and vocal. If others are interested in this forum, you should encourage them to speak up.
[Motorola Droid X2] Krogg:
I'm game

I just got mine Tuesday and already rooted. Actually I have two of them so I am going to be working on the mods too. I would really like to have a place on here that will allow me the ability to discuss things that I have found. Maybe run some issues by people to find solutions, and to post solutions that I have found. Until that forum is created, I cannot help propel the greatness that is the X2!!!

Please help us out.

Thanks everybody!

+1 for now but if the galaxy s 2 Verizon edition is released inside my 15 day return policy it's going back for a swap out! Wish it was atleast the Atrix with 1gb ram, I think the Atrix looks way better too but this is Verizon's only dual core phone and the thunderbolt has a terrible battery life from what I have read.

[Motorola Droid X2] Thracia:
Well, it could be suggested that Droid X2 take Bionic's place, but I'm sure demand upon its release will be high enough that the forum would just be created once again.

I am glad to see so many supporters! Hopefully we'll get a response soon.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
Hey everyone, so I'm on an SGS2 with O2 branding and KE2 via Kies. I rooted and got Titanium Backup PRO.

I've seen the new KE7 firmware is out for the XEU (unbranded) handsets, and I'm thinking it might just be better to unbrand for greater speed in getting these updates in future.

Point is, by now I've kinda customised my phone nicely, set up apps and emails and settings and so on. But, I hear that to proper set the CSC to XEU, you must factory reset.

My question is this - between Kies Backup and Titanium Backup, can I factory reset to fix CSC, then just restore these two backups and basically be right back to all my nicely customised phone? I'm mainly talking SMS messages, contacts, settings, email and apps really.

Thanks
