[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghandour:
I suggest for people having the flickering problem and who has their GS2 rooted to install one of those kernels that support MDNIE/Voodoo screen optimization for screen sharpness and color saturation like SpeedMod, NEAK, Siyah,...

I think it might help solving the problem as mine disappeared after upgrading to Siyah 2.6.x and also didnt happen with NEAK 1.3.3 or SpeedMod K2-21.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghandour:
I suggest also to try Screen Adjuster app from the market to adjust Brightness, Contrast and colors levels.

Any fix yet?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3LK_89:
Seen as its a new handset the best option is to return it. Could get worse over time and completely pack up when the warranty's ran out.

[Edit] only just noticed how old this post was. Its been bumped up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irvinehooi:
Problem fixed.

Hi, my problem was solved by sending the unit to Samsung Service Center and asked them to replaced the motherboard & screen.

Note: Please do not replace only the screen as it will not completely solved the issue if the motherboard is not replaced.

Hope the above info can help those user having the aforementioned issue.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manyoo:
Thank god someone else also has the same problem, and i think its definitively related to temperature. I noticed that when it gets colder the screen starts flickering like crazy. And sometimes the screen blanks out show nothing. When it gets warmer, the screen comes back to normal, but the horizontal lines on my sg2 are constantly there at the top of the screen regardless what the temp is. I found that it is possible to check the horizontal lines with the this app, "color flashlight", by choosing a white color on the entire screen.

Anyway i contacted my supplier and they will check it out, hopefully they will fix the issue or replace it with a new.

Cheers

I can confirm I have the same problem. It is hard to reproduce, but once it happens it is annoying. It does seem to appear easier when the battery levels are full and at specific brightness levels.

I'm wondering if this falls under guarantee?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Can please someone say me what's the chip of FM radio that our devices use?

thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikereidis:
:)

Gee I just spent at least 15 minutes looking for that answer too.

Show me the ps output with BT on and I can probably tell you the family. btld or brcm_patchram_plus are components of the proprietary Broadcom BT stack which is the most common.

btipsd would be a TI device.

Just hciattach without any of the above might require checking the /init.*.rc files for the options to hciattach. Firmware files are also a clue, as is dmesg output.

Of course you might have a rarer Silicon Labs chip and lsmod might show it, or some fm device driver pseudo file in /dev/ and perhaps Si4709_driver.ko or similar somewhere.

If you have a working hcitool and bt is enabled this HCI Get Version command would show something similar to this:

adb shell hcitool cmd 4 1

< HCI Command: ogf 0x04, ocf 0x0001, plen 0

> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 12

01 01 10 00 04 00 00 04 0D 00 1F 1D

If you have a working hcitool on a Broadcom family device the following would be shown when the radio and RDS are on:

adb shell hcitool cmd 3f 15 0 1 1

< HCI Command: ogf 0x3f, ocf 0x0015, plen 3

00 01 01

> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 7

01 15 FC 00 00 01 03

And here's the equivalent on a TI device:

adb shell hcitool cmd 3f 133 20 2 0

< HCI Command: ogf 0x3f, ocf 0x0133, plen 3

20 02 00

> HCI Event: 0x0e plen 6

01 33 FD 00 00 03
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Here's my output

# hcitool cm 4 1
hcitool cm 4 1
# hcitool cmd 3f 15 0 1 1
hcitool cmd 3f 15 0 1 1
< HCI Command: ogf 0x3f, ocf 0x0015, plen 3
00 01 01

# hcitool cmd 3f 133 20 2 0

#

What does Descriptor means?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikereidis:
If you ran these commands with Bluetooth (BT) enabled, then in this case it means you have a proprietary BT stack.

In general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
its broadcom bt. with brcm_patchram_plus you can check in se sources und platform/system/bluetooth/

here is kernel config:

CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y

CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y

CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCSP=y

CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_LL=y
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mikereidis:
OK, thanks much.

In that case my app should be usable on this phone in the currently experimental "HCI UART" mode, where a daemon speaks directly with the UART. It only works with BT off though, but I'm hoping to find a better HCI access method. Also need root.

I should post a new experimental version on the thread in my sig in an hour or so. One warning though; on many phones where my app tunes and gets RDS data etc, there is no audio. I'm working on "tricks" for that issue also.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
thank you for your development!
[Hero CDMA General] reaper36:
Overall what's the phone to choose?

G2X has price and unlocked loader going for it, the HTC's both look sweet along with the Galaxy S 2, but when and how much?

I also need to consider networks and data plans as T-MO will be on tiered next month when I do this. (or don't do it and wait.... I hate waiting)
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
EVO 3D and Sensation are the same phone, just that the Sensation is for different carriers (or just Europe?). I think the 3D has a bit more RAM. Galaxy S2 is Samsung, so, there's that. G2X is a pretty great phone though.
[Hero CDMA General] reaper36:
As far as I know there are differences between the 2 HTC's though they may not be majors ones, using camera for an example, Sensation has 8MP while EVO 3D has 2 5MP ones. I'm thinking that the EVO probably is a bit more buffed up to handle the 3D, which I see as gimmicky and I probably wouldn't use much but turning it off makes a really fast phone.

There are pro's and cons for any of them and it's very hard to make a decision.
[Hero CDMA General] Nsandhu23:
Honestly I think it comes down to the release dates of the Evo and Galaxy S 2. I'm assuming that the Galaxy S2 will hit the US carriers at the same time. And with all the speculation around the Evo release date, I'm not gonna say anything. There are about seven threads on the same thingg. It comes down to your upgrade date and the Evo and galaxy release date and run preference.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiceboyx:
Hi everyone;

I am having trouble and had no choice but to ask for advice as i cant seem to find the solution!

I bought an HD7 off ebay UK. The phone was originally on O2 but the seller unlocked and unbranded it and sent it to me without testing its features!

Now it wont make phone calls, wont send texts, wont load IE! When i click on Phone tile, it goes back to main screen!

I dont know the original ROM details but the seller updated it to NODO update:

v7.0.7390.0 with Radio Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

I am on 3 network! It does go online using SurfCube browser. It does send a text to a number but it wont allow me to read the ones i recieve!

He says it was working fine with him. But not working on 3 network! I also tried the Virgin sim card he left in it and it wasnt working with it either!

Could anyone help me update it to a proper firmware that would work with 3 network? I dont mind having 3UK branded rom... as long as it works, i am fine but i prefer non branded... with copy paste function if possible...

Please help...

Thanks...

The question is, since i have v7.0.7390.0 with Radio Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

can i replace it with any rom or does it have to be compatible with the current rom?

There has been a slight change i will be building based off of official Samsung release of the ec05 build from scratch I will be including the 6 mod lock screen as well as some other various changes which will be disclosed upon release in the changelog.

I would like to give thanks to pfftmedic for the help along the way here as well as chevycam over on droidforums as for he got me in to deving for aosp back on the og droid without him id be lost and wouldnt be doing this now.

I will be posting further as my work progresses and letting all know who are interested the updates of my success.

Slight delay - there will be a delay in the release i was shooting for this week but maybe a bit longer I dont want to just put out trash so I really want my first release to be something worthwhile and to build on.

check the filename.

it is not recovery-cwm_3.1.0.1-sam-tab-10.1-052111.img when you unpack it.

ensure you have a working fastboot

you should fastboot boot it first prior to flashing/replacing.

you do not need to root your device to use this. if you are using this on the 'v', then you must unlock your bootloader prior.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] thepro8:
I think this may be the problem because if try a "fastboot reboot" command I just get a waiting for device and nothing else.

I already tried but Odin couldn't flash recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] newbapotamous:
Okay - so its been a few days for me, and for the life of me, I still can't seem to boot up this recovery. I am on a Stock 3.1 that was updated OTA and was rooted before the update. For some reason, the update left my root in tact and there is no way for me to get into any recovery - not even the stock one (that or I don't know how - how would I check my stock recovery?). Anyways, I'm on a Mac with adb and fastboot located in the same folder for simplicity and when I try the ./fastboot boot recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.img command, it says "waiting for device" and goes nowhere. No idea what I'm doing wrong. I even put the tab in fastboot mode prior to connecting it to the mac...any help? I'm sure a recovery would be quite useful... PS - my fastboot on the tab looks like the following:

Fastboot USB Download Protocol

Bootloader Version : Unknown

Baseband Version : %s

Serial Number : [hidden]

Lock State : UNLOCKED
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
on a stock 3.1, you must fastboot boot the recovery.

if you install a root boot (from the tools pack released 2 days ago), then you wil get back adb reboot recovery .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] newbapotamous:
I removed my SDK and just reloaded it all last night. When I did, fastboot still wasn't functional. I installed Kies Mini for Mac (only option available) to make sure I had some sort of drivers, installed the SDK with the most recent tools and everything. Fastboot still doesn't work, so I installed terminal emulator onto the Tab and did : su [enter] reboot recovery [enter]. This got me to what looks like the stock recovery. I'm thinking about maybe just pushing the image onto the tab and flashing it from within the internal terminal much like i would have to if i were installing a recovery onto the Evo. Think I should try it out, or no?

UPDATE:

I pushed the recovery image to the root of the sdcard since i can't mount or really do much else. I'm thinking if I flash it from within the tab via terminal, it should work. I'm kinda opposed to this method though because I'm a chicken **** and don't want to bust the tab my wife gave me as a present (she knows how badly i wanted the I/O model and got it for me as an anniversary present).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
No, only fastboot for right now.

Ill make an update.zip later on.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] newbapotamous:
yeah - that's the problem though. using the fastboot commands does nothing for me. I ran ./fastboot-mac boot recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.img and does nothing - just says "waiting on device" in the terminal. Nothing else happens. I'll just wait on the update.zip and do it that way, I guess. Thanks for the help.

flash latest tools pack.

reboot.

you should be good.
