[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stigdu:
A good question.

I just had an email from my network provider in the UK, Orange, and they listed 6 phones which do have it. The Samsung Omnia was listed, but not the Galaxy S2 (a newer, more tech-heavy) phone.

I don't believe it does have HD Voice technology in it but would be happy to be proved wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
On KI8

*#197328640#

...

Not able to try if it works though yet
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
It should. In the SGS2 specs you can find that it has support for WB-AMR audio codec, which should be the HD Voice codec. Try *#*#197328640#*#* from the phone dial, then select 5-Audio then 7-WB-AMR, and turn it on. Your operator and the phone on the other end of the line have to support it, obviously.

Are there any rumors or talk are the future of the 7" Galaxy Tab?

I don't see my self buying the 8.9" or 10.1" model, but if an updated 7" model was released, ie. a better camera, processor and/or OS, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks.

True, I would like a 7inch with honeycomb. If some fine hacker here can do it then I will make a rather nice donation ;)

But if a newer skinner version came out, Id buy it right away.

I would like to have a close look at the 8.9 version. its its not that big then I might make the move. But 7 is just perfect for me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Im doing a poll to see what screen's the 0004 evo's have just the 0004 evo's.

So if you have a hardware version 0004 evo feel free to hit either Epson or Novatec.

I have a Novatec in mine brand new phone. Just wanting to see if they started using the crap outta Novatec for the newer hardware versions of the evo. :D

To find out what type of screen you have:

1.Download Android Terminal Emulator from Android Market.

2.Launch the app.

3.Type dmesg and press the Enter key on your keyboard.

4.Email the results to yourself by tapping the EVO's Menu key and "Email to" from the options that appear.

5.In your email, do a search (Ctrl + F) for novatec and/or epson. Whichever one is found is the display you have.

On a side note the light leak makes my usb port glow slightly in low light conditions, makes it easy to plug it in before I go to bed XP

004 Nova here, no bright spots, no light leak
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
Much easier way to find out is by switching the brightness. If it fades from one brightness level to another, it's a Nova. If it just switches from one to the other, it's an Epson.

Just got my 3rd EVO today and this one is a 0004 Epson, the previous 2 were a 0002 Nova and a 0003 Nova. The first thing I did notice was how much dimmer the screen seemed than my previous 2 phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranbiz:

Yes, the brightness bug sucks but it seems to only be on sense roms. I have UD 3.3.1 (GB) AOSP rom with tiamat 4.03 kernel with no brightness bug, cameras work, etc.

Brand New Evo from Asurion >

Hardware Version 0004

Epson

Looks pretty good to me.

I had a Novatec on my last Evo and I can't tell the difference regarding Brightness, Vibrancy, etc.........

In the poll, there are 15 members with Novatec and 5 members with Epson.

Are the Epsons rarer, and therefore more valuable LOL:)

UPDATE:

I am in Direct Sunlight and brightness level is

100%.

I notice the screen Appears dimmer than the novatec I had previously.

Perception or Reality?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
Pretty sure it's reality. I'm on my 3rd EVO, the first 2 were Novas and this is an Epson. Right from the start the Epson seemed dimmer to me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelgardner:
You can actually skip step 4 and step 5 by using the grep command.

dmesg | grep nova

if results pop up, you have a nova screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1:
Originally, I wanted to just change the digitizer on my Evo because everything else was fine.

I ended up keeping the new replacement Evo.

I now have the Epson screen, But in reality not a big deal regarding the Brightness, so I'll keep it. I could call Asurion and have them send me another one, But the replacement may have real issues, and may be refurbished.

At this point, I'm ahead as my other Evo was purchased in January 2011.

I do notice the New Evo vibrate is stronger (the other one may have been tired) and the Power Button is raised more than the previous one (Hardware v0003) But the lower power button never bothered me an anyway.

So I'll leave well enough alone, and keep my new Evo..................
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trukenx:
Yeah gotta say nova all the way funny just bought an EVO with a espon screen for $50 due got it cheap cause the camera was broken... Everytime I go play cards I have it side by side same brightness, people always think there is something wrong with my espon screen, until I place it side by side with another espon screen. Espon looks faded and just plain dull when places side by side with a novatec screen.

Even the look of the espon phones (ie) battery door cover looks cheaper. Am sure it was done to save money on HTC side

Glad the brightness bug issue has been resolved but right now am using milk sense 2.1 no brightness bug issues

Then using virus sense 3.0 on espon

I have 0004 and it says Epson but from what everybody is saying idk now. My screen brightness transitions smoothly it doesn't shutter between. I do have slight leaking of light but only from an angle. In the email from terminal emulator says epson..... Screen is crisp and clear with no spots.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felacio:
Not to pull this thread from the dead or anything, but my girlfriend just got her EVO replaced via insurance from Best Buy. not sure of the Hardware version because I installed MIUI on it. but in Bootloader, it states the screen as "ATMELC03" seems new to me. the screen looks really nice though.

one "Awesome" feature is that the god damn screen is separating from the bottom of the phone. I would think they would have fixed that **** by now!. WTF.:mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biker1:
I got a New Asurion Replacement Evo 4g a few months ago, and it has the Epson screen, v004 Hardware.

I just purchased a Back Up Evo on eBay, and the screen is 'Brighter' than the Evo I am currently using. I didn't check which screen it is, but it's safe to say it's the Novatec screen. It's has v003 Hardware.

Can't really tell the difference, unless the 2 Evos are side by side, as has been said many times. But when they are side by side, the difference is enough to make a difference in direct sunlight. The Novatec screen is easier to see.

The Epson screen is 'grayer,' for lack of a better term, when viewing a 'white' screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] event2000:
Hi,

I'm in China right now, and i bought the new Samsung Mp4 Player (Samsung Galaxy Player WLAN 4.0, YP-G1) at amazon.cn .

Its my first android device, but iam not a electronics noob. I thought i would get an android market app, but actually theres only a "samsung app store" with a total of 8 apps available...

I found apk links to googlemaps and skype, and managed to install them. But all downloads of the android market failed to install.

Am I not going to succeed in trying to install the app market? I read about "flashing" the zip file, but no guide talks about this player.

Heres a picture of the "about" page:

h**p://i53.tinypic.com/nmagls.jpg

Does the SDK package maybe help? I read thats a way to install packages too.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] event2000:
So far I downloaded many versions of the market apk.

For most of them I'm unable to install them. If i clock on the apk it says installation failed.

One actually worked, at least i could install it. When i want to open it though it pop ups with a white screen and then disappears again.

SDK didnt work so far since the USB drivers aren't working for the Galaxy Player yet, at least Windows says it can`t find any drivers in the extras\usb-driver folder.

I found a guide for the i9000, using the dial pad. But no phone functionality, no dial pad :(

If I would succeed in rooting my player, is it sure the market will be installable?

No other way?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] event2000:
I followed this guide: h**p://samsung-phones-apps.com/how-to-install-enable-android-market-on-galaxy-s-galaxy-tab.html , but the last step, copying the files with root explorer, didnt work.

I can get R/W root access, but it wont copy anything into the system apps folder.

I tried to flash the zip for the market app here from the forums, but i cant flash it without a valid signature, screenshot: h**p://i54.tinypic.com/x5qo2b.jpg

I will try to sign it with signing tool i found, lets see if that helps.

How can it be that difficult to install the stupid market :p

I actually succeded with some apk, but when i try to start the market app the screen turns white for half a second and then the app closes down again.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] event2000:
Well, in the end i managed to half brick the player. Then i couldnt find an original rom (actually without a nandroid version for the player i also couldnt update the rom before flashing the wrong one).

I also tried the rom from the koren YP-GB1 player, but with that rom the touchscreen was not working correctly, left and right was ok, but up and down where exchanged, try writing on a keyboard thats actually at another place on the screen...

So in the end i went to samsung and they just gave me a paper, now amazon send me a new one.

If anybody gets the same player, dont try something funny until the original rom is out :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ctlro99:
Thanks for your advice! Let's hope that by the end of the years the pros start developing the samsung players. Then at least we'll be able to get better sound with the Voodoo Control sound app (needs root...).

http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-hard-shell-case/4A123A8345.htm

which would fit the phone better? I want to keep things slim, give the phone a nice grippy feel and also match the contour of the battery cover on the back of the phone.

how about the best screen protector?
[Verizon Droid Charge] -Pagan-:
Steinheil on the screen protector. Best on the market in my opinion. If you want the closest fit, I'd go with the TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane cases. They fit nice and offer good impact protection if you drop your phone.

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Both look like they are molded to match the contour of the phone. If you'd like something that will help prevent damage, I'd go with a hard case as it is less likely to rub around on the device, especially if something got between the case/cover and phone. The soft case can flex and could allow dirt/dust/sand down under the cover and it would sit there under the cover and scratch up your phone.

after 5 different roms and all possible combinations of well regarded kernels and radios, pri, nv and wimax i have settled (for now) with deck's, tiamat + viperboys scripts with pri and nv versions 1.77.

this is the best aosp based combination i could find for a balance of battery life and performance. actually, the best battery life i've seen overall (stock battery)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Headcase_Fargone:
Can someone point me in the direction of some reading material on the whole PRI and "nv" versions you guys are using? My only understanding of PRI is that you need to flash back to stock Sense in order to update it, which I've done. Is this a downloadable custom PRI you guys are referring to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
All EVO radio, PRI, NV, WiMAX and HBOOT versions can be found here. NV is in non volatile memory (area/space) where Wimax, PRI etc updates are stored. It also controls data rates and bandwidth. PRI stands for Primary Rate Interface which is a telco standard for how voice and data is handled between the user and telco switch. I'm not at home where, I think I still have a bookmark of a page that better explain them. Sorry.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
I think that you're thinking of PRL and updating your data profile. PRI and PRI are two different things, I believe.

On Deck's 1.2m, I had issues with setup. The dang Market kept downloading what was synced, no matter how many times I tried to disable it during setup. When I went into the Market, it was slow as heck (I had a good connection) and I had to go through and try to cancel all of the apps downloading. Granted, it was 20 apps, but I looked into my notification bar. It said 43, with repeats of app names. I did all the proper wipes before, and that syncing/downloading issue didn't affect me on other ROMs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plancy:
I found this guide, but it's a few months old, will this still work? I have CM7 and tiamat-sbc4.0.3 and had previously fully updated stock before flashing CM7.

it only has download for PRI, but how do i bring NV to 1.77 as well?

I first tried a flash with ROM Manager, but not sure if it's possible to check the PRI version on CM7..and I haven't flashed an NV yet, and I've read you need a sense ROM to update, but not if you're flashing it? Have to downgrade Clockwork to flash the NV, but is the NV necessary for the PRI, will PRI be flashed to NV1.90?

edit: okay so i'll do this from HBOOT, I DLed Nv1.77, pri1.77, and the latest Radio, in what order should I flash these, I'm assuming you rename each to the P36IMG.zip? so one at a time?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbenson1226:
I'm an og droid user but just picked up a Dinc for my fiance. She loves the thing but hates the 10 hour (9 hours of that is idle?) battery life.

Last night, I went ahead and rooted it and removed most of the verizon crap-ware and then adjusted her sync settings to hopefully improve her battery life. I also did a battery stat reset.

She loves it as-is so flashing roms is out of the question. I don't have time/she doesn't have the patience for me to flash roms and fix problems that arise. With that being said I would like to explore the other back-end options.

Now, keeping in mind, this dinc is completely stock. Stock sense, stock kernel, stock radio, etc. I've been advised to replace the stock radio with one from Doug Piston. I was told to install the 04.08 version for the EVO. I just want to clarify that this will work for the Dinc running stock froyo sense? Also, if someone could tell me exactly what this does? Is the main benefit better battery life? Or something else? Also, if this is not the correct radio I should install, which is?

My second question is in regard to a better kernel. As stated above, I am stock and will remain on stock sense. What are some good proven kernels that will work on stock sense. Performance on the device is fine, so I'm not worried about that. I'm only looking for a kernel that will boost battery life. I looked around here but I couldn't determine which of these, if any would work on a stock Dinc or if they were just for custom roms?

Anyway, that's all. Thanks in advance for any help on this!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikezilla9:
Here is a link to all the different kernels that are available for the Inc. It will say if it works with AOSP or Sense. Just take a look through them and see which one would work the best for what you want. Some will overclock, some will underclock, etc

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866736

Whoops didn't notice you had that link already. Some popular ones are incredikernel and heyitslou. I know with incredikernel I was getting good battery life but also was with different ROM not sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I have installed a radio on my Inc, been quite fine for the last few weeks as well. From my understanding, the radio may or may not improve gps lock and/or your phone's signal strength depending. This is hit or miss, not everyone notices a stark improvement in both or either category. As such, if you already have poor signal in your area it may not improve your signal therefore it has no effect on battery life.

Someone more knowledgeable in that area please correct me.

You can try whichever radio you desire, I recall many people using 4/08 or the 11/19. Personal preferences aside, your improved battery life depends on how much signal your phone reports that it is receiving.
