[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
I read somewhere that some specific models have a yellowish colour problem on the screen..

This really shouldn't be normal, so my best answer is to send it in for repair ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
No yellowing on mine all looks good.
[Galaxy S II General] Stonos:
Are both phones using the same brightness settings?

On my phone, when the brightness is low, whites have a yellow cast, but on full brightness, they look very good.
[Galaxy S II General] Blue1k:
Mine is white as well. No yellowish color or pink spots on camera shots.
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
I'm sorry to tell you, but you have the problem :(

Engadget: "Affected users are reporting that the left side of their Super AMOLED Plus displays have a yellow discoloration, viewable mainly with low brightness -- especially on white and grey backgrounds."

[Galaxy S II General] DuoM:
What he described is not the problem that people are facing.

BTW Engadget are simply repeating what people are saying here. They have no information of their own and it was people here mailing them that alerted them to the problem in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Photos?
[Galaxy S II General] Serav:
I've noticed on mine that the colour temperature gets warmer at lower brightnesses. Also dark grey takes on a brown cast. On full brightness it's perfect though. No left hand side yellow cast either that I can see.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
There's 60 pages of discussion on this already and the points you're making have been made there a dozen times. Do we really need another 60 page thread on the exact same issue? In the other thread there's also a code to tell what version of screen you have. It would be interesting to see if the claimed "new batch" has a different version.

[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
Just checked my screen first batch from handtech and no discoloration in any brightness setting, might be a bad batch?

The main question arises....HAS THE BANDING issue been rectified...so i can FINALLY go head with my S2 purchase ? :P I'm hesitant to purchase such an expensive device..KNOWING it has a very obvious banding defect...and it seems samsung is unaware of its existence!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I had to ask this question, when I had my S8500 I always set the Brightness to 0, still the screen was enough bright with vivid colors and good contrast looked very sharp and there was no Bluish tint on the screen. But here with S-AMOLED+ if I set the Brightness to mid level or higher then the screen performs well and probably beat the former screen. But when it's set to Auto brightness it seems that the screen has a bluish effect and the whites are not perfectly white, the pictures are not that crisp like it was on the former one, in this case I'd easily say that former screen was better. Now is this a feature of S-AMOLED+ or problem? In low or 0 brightness it is the S-AMOLED which perform much better but not S-AMOLED+ !

I justried to play full HD videos through my pendrive......the default video player says file cannot be played and when I try to play through mobo player the audio and video is out of sync....I thought this tab plays full HD videos.....guys some advice!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
AFAIK it doesn't. 3.1 should have Full HD support but 3.0.1 doesn't have it.

I could be wrong though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
3.1 as far as we know will not play 1080p videos only output them via HDMI.

Currently only 720p can be played.

I hope im wrong about the first thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
But in the tabs config it was written that it plays full hd videos!

And even xoom plays full hd vids!
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
did u try a player like Mobo?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
FullHD 1080p wmv works and probably the same with some mkv's but audio will not ... it will just scale the video to 720p..

you can try mkv's with "Astro filemanager" -> Open As -> video

and the mkv will play, if not already loaded automatically..

this also works for other formats..
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Yes..I tried...audio video out of sync!
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Why doesn't it work for mp4??

I am asking this becoz when I play a 720p video on my tv thru hdmi....it really sucks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i would expect 1080p MP4 recordings working too, if you got 720p working.

but it probably all depends on encoding..
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I used mobo player..I used the soft decoding mode in it but the video was far far behind than the audio...any solutions?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
screen size 800

why want read 1080p...

don't take it bad, but, you should post a unique post "Vari9 Questions / FAQ"

and we stick it "D

so far Acer says 1080p video-out will be supported in a Q2 update

and unless it's hardware supported, I doubt the video will render smoothly....
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Hehe.....I wanted my tab to read 1080p coz I have my music videos and movies all in full hd....converting them all would be a pain in the neck......plus even mobile phones with a screen size of 4.0 inch can play full hd videos!
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
it's kind of overload the works of your tablet...

tablet have to convert and downscale anyway to render the video... since 1080 > 800

you should convert, it's the best things and that will save in a way the battery....

I just say.
[Acer Iconia A500] anubis13:
Rock player for tegra and a 1080p file plays fine and looks good hdmi out
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
I think most people are actually talking about HDMI output, which at the moment is stuck at 720p.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
its not stuck at 720p.. but if you think about it, your native tablet resolution is 1280x800 , which is natively projected/mirrored to your telly and if you want 1080p which is then going to happen with it?

its gonna scale it...

if your video of 1920x1080 should be played on a tv without mirror, it could work, but i doubt it got the videomemory to have 1 fullHD and one scaled at 1280x1080 . which is the problem right now..

but i know Atrix4G have something like that, as i uses 2 separate displays at the same time. so it might be we get that function..no video on tablet, but fullHD on telly.
[Acer Iconia A500] thinhletien:
I dont think so, because have a checked topic for this problem. And some files is played fine, except 1080 :) i though have some problem with the Tegra2 decode, not because of OS.

So confuse about this problem, if can not play smoothly 720 and 1080, so HDMI output for nothing.

Another thing is can we play flash game in facebook with 3.0?
[Acer Iconia A500] Elizabeth05:
iconia tab can't play 1080p, the upcoming upgrade will support 1080p playback, now i just use a tool to deal with full hd videos

Im using stock ke7 that is rooted. When im using currentwidget to show the battery drain it says no data. Battery % and voltage is shown correctly but not the actual drain.

Is it only me or is this problem for all sgs2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locster126:
current widget doesnt support Samsung devices because the way the hardware reads the temperature or something is not accessible...not sure the exact reason tho but there is another app called "battery monitor widget" which displays some "ma" but it will just be an estimate so it won't be 100% accurate..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the max10742 fuel gauge chip in the galaxy s2 does not output current readings, only voltage, temperature, and a few others. the original galaxy s used the max10741 and it also did not output current readings.

most other phones, like HTCs use the ds2784 in the nexus one for example, and they DO output current readings.

i think there is a way to re-write the battery driver to maybe change this, but thats a project for another time.

battery monitor pro only guesstimates mA readings when it cannot find actual current files from the kernel.

[Droid X General] envioussob:
I have a friend whose son has a Droid X and attempted to root it. I dont know what method he used or anything, but it did not work. He can get the phone to boot, but cant use the phone for voice or data almost like its in airplane mode, but its not. I am familiar with Android and rooting, just not with a droid x. I need to get him back to stock so he can use his phone again. Is there like an ruu i can run to get it back to stock or a copy of the stock rom? and how do i get to recovery? Is it power and volume down like my evo?

Thanks for any help you can give
[Droid X General] envioussob:
OK, I think I may have found it, but I would appreciate some some confirmation since ya'll obviously know way more about this specific device than I do.

I think I need to download RSDLite 4.8 and install on my computer and use it to install the SBF VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf to the phone.

Does that sound right?

thanks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
That is correct, SBFing the phone will return it to complete out-of-the-box-stock.
[Droid X General] chbennett:
RSD Lite is a pain compared to to other options. If you google search "linux solution for DROID x sbf" the first result should be a link to a dx fourm post about a linux distro to sbf dx back to stock 2.2. It is really really easy and runs on a usb flash drive or cd. Then take the OTA for gb, as it has yet to be rooted. And you are set. Total time, half an hour.

Pm me if you need more info. (I'm mobile so a link will be hard.)

Edit: link

I was previously on CM7 Nightly Build 8 when out of no where I experienced a drop in service.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strydr26:
This happened to me and it was because I needed a replacement SIM card. The TMob rep said I had been using a 2G sim for the last year and that it needed the 3G version. As to why it worked for a year he said that it just does work for a limited time and that time had obviously run out.

Worth a shot ...

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess maybe I'll have to go to the Tmobile store and I'm on Long Island.

I just actually Odin'ed back to stock and while my phone still does not pick up any service at my house (which it usually had good service here) I went out and my phone did get some service near the mall in my area. It was only 1 bar though and it only picked up the edge network where usually in that area it would be full strength 3G service. So its not completely broken just extremely weaker than usual. Any suggestions?

4. Open Root Explorer / System / Build.prop and edit "ro.product.brand=htc_wwe" to "ro.product.brand=tmobile" (Dont forget to Mount R/W to do this). Reboot.

5. Open Root Explorer / sdcard / and copy both files (Swype_3.7.apk and libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so) to System Folder. "Don't put them into the app and lib folder yet" and also Dont forget to Mount R/W to do this).

6. Long Press your Swype_3.7.apk / Select Permissions / Changes to rw-r--r--

7. Long Press your libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so / Select Permissions / Changes to rw-r--r--

[Verizon Droid Charge] V.A.T.Juice:
I was having a hell of a time figuring some of this stuff out, so I decided to try to put some information in a solid place to find it again. Hope this helps some others out. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong about anything. I am simply putting what I understand to this point.

Terms:

Voodoo - A different recovery similar to clockwork (see post below)

CWM - ClockWork Mod (refers to being able to flash with clockwork recovery)

Lagfix - ?????? No idea what this is or what it does. Just see people saying to disable it. (see post below)

Odin - Sofware that can flash your phone. It can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11872936&postcount=2

Download mode - Mode Used to flash phone using ODIN. Open Odin, remove battery, plug phone into USB port, hold down volume down key until screen comes up on phone and you see a com port active in the first block of odin.

Recovery Mode - This works for both STOCK and Voodoo. Hold down the volume up key + Home Button + Power button. Samsung will appear then disappear, and reappear again, this is when you let go of the buttons.

ED1 - Stock rom that came with phone

ED2 - Stock Rom - First update available

EE4 - Stock Rom - Second update available.

From what I learned so far, root is easily aquired by flashing down to ED1 using this file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085190 and Odin

When using Odin you only need to insert the file, by clicking the PDA button. All other settings can be left alone.

The Droid Charge comes stock with Android 2.2.1 AKA "Froyo" which allows for flash and other improved functions.

Gingerbread is hopefully the next version 2.3 which should be a great treat for our Charge's. I was getting better performance, better battery life, and the ability to run some programs such as netflix that I cannot get to work on my froyo build right now (maybe I'm doing something wrong?) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

That's all for now. Would be happy to add more if anyone else has suggestions.

I'm not a noob myself, but this just caught me off guard. I've been flashing roms since windows mobile 2003. I even made a few myself. I've owned other Samsung Android devices, but recently been using Motorola's so I have that down, but this one caught me off guard a bit.

Thanks to everyone that's been working to make this phone the best it can be.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Good idea. Let me help ya with a correction or two, and maybe a clarification.

Voodoo isn't a recovery, it's the lagfix. Techinically, Voodoo refers to Project Voodoo, an attempt at improving the Galaxy S phones:

http://project-voodoo.org/

But, for the Charge (which isn't a Galaxy S phone), when you see Voodoo referenced, they're only talking about the lagfix:

http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix

When you see people talking about disabling it, it's because they are going back to stock ROM, which doesn't support it.

Root can also be acquired by simply flashing directly to any ROM that has it built in, you don't have to be at ED1 any more. You could be at ED2 already, and flash Altered Beast using Odin, and you will be rooted. Soon we should see pre-rooted ROMs with EE4.

CWM is an alternate recovery, which, as you said, is generally used when you go in to recovery mode. A custom Android recovery basically replaces the stock recovery with one that lets you do all you can do with the stock recovery, plus a plethora of more options to give you a lot more control on your device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates including apps, themes, kernels etc. using zip files, wipe not just user data but pretty much every partition on your device, mount the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe Dalvik cache and battery stats, fix permissions, perform, manage and restore backups and so on.

For those coming from CWM on other systems, you should know you cannot currently do backups and restores with it - that's being worked on.

Hope this helps!
