I made the switch from the DHD rather than going the Sensation route and I'm so glad I made this choice! After moving to the DHD from the N1, it was only really the screen size that changed, but the SGS2 is a whole new experience.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] laglessserf:
I have. WORTH IT. you won't regret it. I'm in Canada and tested the waters by placing the S2 (yes S2) on craiglist, I could sold it for one thousand a cool 200+ profit but I enjoyed it so much I could never go back to the HD2 . Enjoy your phone, you'll love it.
[Galaxy S II General] Coolhanded:
I had touch hd with windows 6.5. not native to device. i part exed it for hd2 to test android. again not the native os for the phone. got the sgs2 due to an offer i couldnt refuse. had it a couple of days. so far. its fast. smooth. the screen is beautiful. they say once u go black u never go back. the blacks just blend into the phone itself. camera is much better than hd2 by a long way. video recorder and playback is better. just everything. do i miss sense. not really. i dont want everyone on facebook intergrated on my phone. touch wiz a bit iphoney but its ok. basically im very happy and i like the direction samsung are going. open bootloader. sending cm phones to hack.
[Galaxy S II General] redbullman:
I was already debating taking my Galaxy S2 back because of the pink/yellow tinge camera issue. Now I've discovered a new issue. The earpiece is continually buzzing during phone calls. This is worse if the volume is turned up to maximum. I've had many phones down the years, but this is the first that I've experienced earpiece buzzing.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is this just a one off bad phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] redbullman:
Anyone else experience this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] prodygee:
Nope, not at all. No yellow tint. Only batterylife which is not Samsung's fault. Guess I'm lucky.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII with XDA Premium
[Galaxy S II General] redbullman:
Thanks for the reply.

I've had many phones down the years, but never experienced earpiece "buzzing" before. It's really annoying! I did a search on the web and it seems to be a very common experience with all makes of mobiles. I suppose you can just get a slight duff one!

I contact the T-Mobile UK Support Twitter page about returning it (it's just under 2 weeks old) and they said I had to send it away to get repaired. That's bull**** surely. I though you had 28 days from new to get a handset swapped????? Isn't that UK law.

I get the impression on the net that sometimes stores lie about this so they don't have to give you a new handset.

Anyone clarify this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] xavier7:
I'm having the same problem. Went to the service centre, the technician insists that this is normal as long as the speaker is not blown. Sucks lol.

I guess I'll live with it for awhile until I can't take it any longer then I'll have them replace the ear speaker.
[Galaxy S II General] OptimalKiller:
Sometimes I get this buzzing noise via Bluetooth headphones only when I'm on a telephone call. But it rare.
[Galaxy S II General] xavier7:
redbullman, did you manage to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] xavier7:
ok I got back my phone (SGS2 international version) from Samsung Service Centre, after a second persuasion they changed the front panel (whole LCD including the front speaker, not sure if the back speaker too, I don't know the structure of the phone).

And now, it's solved!! NO MORE BUZZING when making/receiving calls!

Definitely go ask for an exchange or a change of your panel guys! It's a HARDWARE ISSUE.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseydietz:
I was wondering if anyone has developed an SBC kernel for the Thunderbolt?

I had amazing success with one on my Evo, and was just wondering if there were any available or were being developed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topher227:
+1

Loved it on my evo as well...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think think out thunderbolt charges like the older devices

They charged to %100 and when it reached 100 it would die down to 90 and the process would repeat

We don't have that problem as far as I can tell, I've never had that %10 drop I used to get with my inc

Again I may be wrong

>--The Game--<
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseydietz:
Yea, I'm not sure either, it would be awesome though if a dev could weigh in on the subject.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
It would be nice if people who want questions answered gave more details. We're not mind readers.

It's sort of a stretch to ask if a verizon phone has some random kernel from a sprint phone and only give some vague acronym as the sum of the details.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
If you don't know what SBC is, then you are of no help to him. By the by it has nothing to do with the carrier, no cause for you to be a ****.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseydietz:
Apologies, my first reply was uncalled for, I am normally a civil person. SBC is some sort of trickle charge feature (not carrier specific) that in my personal experience greatly extended the life of my battery, it just so happened that I owned an evo.

I know at one point the were considered to be a bit dangerous, but I don't think that is still the thought now.

Just wondering what the devs had to think or what their thoughts were, and I didn't mean to offend you.

Cheers - Casey
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It's a reasonable expectation. A lot of people in this section ask for help but don't give enough details.

And my TB has never needed to be bump charged as my Inc did, no matter how long it stays plugged in once it has hit 100%, so I'm going to assume this is not needed. I haven't heard anyone else complain of needing to bump charge either..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseydietz:
Again, I wasn't complaining, and simply asking a question. Are you a developer of kernels? If you're not there is really no reason for you to reply and be a jackwagon.

Good lord.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
No worries or anything. I didnt think anything of your post, just gets frustrating sometimes when you do want to help with questions that seem more unique than usual. Even if I didn't know the answer instantly, it doesnt mean I couldn't find it, since I know how to look for info :) and I have development experience and I majored in computer science as an undergrad, so it's not like reading about this stuff is gibberish to me (just 99% of my development experience is on other linux platforms that dont get their power from a battery generally). I like to problem solve and your question was something different than the usual top 10, so I just wanted to know more either to help or for my own personal info.

Anyways, no kernel on the TB I know of will do what you mentioned after reading up on it I'm afraid. They all charge the normal way android does more or less, but some have implemented "fast charge" so you can use gps or something without killing your battery. I've never really had to bump charge either and my battery life is probably 12-16 hours on normal usage. The only posting I've seen mentioning sbc was here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13008311&postcount=523 and it was ignored.

If you really want to ask the developers about it, I would look in the developer's thread and post a message in the threads related to whatever kernel and see if the developers reply. The other option would be to try to idle in IRC for the phone's channel (details are on a sticky in the TB forums) and wait for a kernel developer to pop up and start talking and ask if you are able to catch them at the right time. The most I've done is compiled the TB kernel that was already premade (adrynalyne's) just for the experience of cross compiling (which is way more of a pain when you want to port things less common, but still fun).

I think Imoseyon (one of the main kernel developers) has/had an incredible and his kernel is based partly on the work he did for that phone. I would think he would be aware of sbc and either thought it wasnt needed or had another reason for not incorporating it. It can potentially cause damage to the phone so perhaps that combined with the phone not really needing it is why. However, it doesnt hurt to ask since it hasn't been formally stated anywhere on the forums as to why.

Hopefully my posting is of some help to you, despite certain statements that I am of no help :rolleyes: (ironically said posting was of no help either). I don't think I've seen that guy do much other than flamebait and troll

off topic thing, but those that haven't seen it, if you click on someone's profile and view it, you can add them to your ignore list so you no longer see their replies (well you still see they're there, but you have to click on them).
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] codfreak:
I have edited the desc.txt of the Nexus One bootanimation and now it works on the Xperia X8.

In the attached picture you see how it looks like.

And here´s the URL:

h**p://shareplace.com/?C2B1CF5017

Press "thanks" if you like it.

Installation guide:

1. Download the file and copy it to your sdcard.

2. Open Root Explorer (Or another similar file manager with root-mode)

3. Go to your sdcard, search for the file and copy it to /system/media (it has to be mounted as RW

4. replace your bootanimation.zip with my one.

If you want to have the option to go back to the stock animation after you replaced it with the new one, rename your stock bootanimation into "bootanimation.zip.bak" or something like that, and when you want to go back, delete the new one and delete the ".bak" at the end.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] codfreak:
Did you make a backup of your stock 2.1 before you installed floyo?

If you did, you can restore it with xrecovery, go in Root Explorer to system/media and copy the bootanimation.zip file to your sdcard, then install floyo again (via xrecovery) and replace the bootanimation.zip of floyo with your one.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
first of all im sorry for my english.

so after 2 weeks of searching a proper case i deside to make one bymyself/

carbon fiber can be a great material but it also blocks radio signals. so next best thing would be a fiberglass with paint...black, red, blue,

so i started with measurement for 3d model. so its a bit thicker, asus measer it wrong on there web site.

some other measures

corner radius

next is a bit tricky and not as accurate but we dont need to be 100 % perfect

writing down the dimensions with some help of our good new friend :)

ok. the next step is to build a 3d model. i work with solidworks.

this is what i done...not the best i can do , but as i said , we do not have to be 100 % perfect and i work with .2 mm tolerance

http://youtu.be/gvL90cX4BuM

the next model is the model of the case with the transformer but without front cover, i haven't choose a good material for this. any ideas?

anyway i gona mill the mold tomorrow after work and hopefully will have first prototype in 3 days.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] baseballfanz:
Nice, can't wait to see final product.

It's not really a DIY for the avg person though.:-D

Anyways, looks very promising. Hope for the best.

Num1gever
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
Thanks. Yep the same one.

And baseballfanz, maybe you right, its not really diy for avg but ido know a lot of gays that kcan do it, most of theme building rc models.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
Looking forward to the results!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 0mie:
Use a plastic material like on the iPad w/ magnet or something to hold it closed. That's some nice modeling, keep up the good work :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] djdevine2:
Can't wait to see how it will look finished!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ianandamy:
do not use a magnet this tablet has a hard drive inside
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ToyTank:
No HDD, it is a SSD. No magnetic storage, no worries with flux. Magnets will be OK.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] insight76:
if this turns out to be really cool, are you going to make some to sell?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
i think not. its too expensive to manufacture.

it will cost more than 100 dolars if ill sell less than 100.

i dont think someone will pay this amount of cash for a case.

but i do think ill make 6-7 prototypes and will leave 2 for my girlfriend (its for her transformer , i do not own one)

so maybe ill sell 5-6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
milling if fun!!!

mold is almost ready!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xreflection:
Even if it did have an HDD, I'm pretty sure that you would need very strong magnets to even disrupt the data storage on the disk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
ok, so the mold is ready and the first case will be ready today

i played with designs for the front cover and this is what ia got for now.

notice the little android. his head have a purpose, its sliding in to the slot at the back of cover and makes it a stand just like many other cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] josephislee:
lol, that is too cool. Great job haha!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] djdevine2:
That is AWESOME!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
Nice Job! Check your PM's.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
First disappointment :(

I try to paint the fiberglass black to make it look like carbon but the paint "melted " an all the case become black without the carbon look. . The next try is to make the case from Russian Kevlar, it looks like polished aluminum but gold color. Slight drawback. But this is development.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yizhaq79:
ok. the new male mold is ready .

hopefully it wil fix some "finish look" issues i had with just female mold

and the part with russian kevlar will be ready in few hours.

will post

picture of female and male molds (the small molds are the male)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 150jack:

HI,

Good job. Waiting to see your final case.

If possible, try silicon too.

Hi

Since there is yet again no notification LED on the SGS2 i was wondering if a Button Backlight Notification like for the original SGS is in the works.

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
NoLed already works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I think OP asked for a Button Backlight Notification, not a screen LED notification. If there were application which could allow to glow the touch sensitive buttons (Menu & Back) then it would be great.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
NoLed has such an option. Besides, it's not important since the app has an option to shut the display off when the proximity sensor feels something close by (like when the phone is in a pocket or bag).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Oops! Didn't find that option, can you please tell me where it is? And also is there a way to turn the screen LED notification Off?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirfixPilot:
It's under 'Battery saving features', there's a check box for Dismiss with Proximity Sensor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Thanks, but if I check that box only the screen goes off with a small red box moving on the screen but the Touch sensitive buttons are not glowing!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirfixPilot:
Yeah, I meant the second bit (about turning the display off in your pocket or whatever) and even then I think I meant the check box below, sorry - feeling a bit scrambled today.

I'm after something that will light up the touch buttons too :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Hmm.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
I've looked that up but I can't find this feature. It looks like I've mixed things up with some forum posts, like: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-730692-p-10.html

"The Menu and Back capacitive buttons also light up with screen notification. This has increased battery drain significantly."
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
Actually the option is "Proximity Sensor" just bellow "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stuart.m:
Hello all,

I have tried searching this forum and have found various similar threads but none quite the same.

I used to use the gps on my hd2 quite a lot, both in windows mobile running copilot, and in android with google maps. But recently, I can no longer use it. If i open google maps or navigation i will get anywhere between 2 seconds and 2 minutes and then the phone will freeze completely, even if i dont use anything just having the program running is enough. I installed gvSIG mini maps and that does not work well either, it either freezes or simply never returns any search results.

The thing that is making me feel it is possibly hardware related is that it worked perfectly for a long time, the phone is about 18 months old now. I have tried various roms (the one i am using just now is Android 2.3.4 - HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0-HeadyHoneybadger) and it makes no difference; with the exception of the gps/maps the phone is very stable and I am perfectly happy with it. I have tried using setcpu to lower the processor speed in case this was being caused by heat, but no difference. I am considernig reinstalling a Windows Mobile build and testing the gps from there.

Any thoughts? :confused:

Regards

Stuart
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
quite probably just an android issue, go back to winmo6.5 and see if it does it then, if it does hardware if it doesnt you know its android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
I would agree with what Richy99 said to go back to Windows 6.5 and check. I am currently on the same Pongster build you are on and do not experience any freezing of the phone you describe. In fact, I am using an optimized gps.conf file for my area and get locks in 2-20 seconds from a cold start now and used the gps navigation for hours while traveling without issues. I suspect it is something hardware related.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stuart.m:
Thanks for the responses.

So, I reinstalled Windows Mobile 6.5 downloaded from the HTC website. Clean install, opened google maps, seemed ok for a few minutes, then i went into the menu and ticked 'Use GPS', then it worked maybe a minute and froze up completely and the phone restarted. tried this about half a dozen times got maximum a minute use each time.

Given that the phone is always pretty stable except when trying to use gps/maps, I would guess that the hardware fault lies in that part of the phone. How long as HTC warranties? The phone is 16 months old now so it doesnt look good but never mine :(

Will contact HTC on the off chance anyway!

Cheers

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stuart.m:
Small update, contacted O2 and they gave me a freepost address to send it back to for repair (a company called A NOVO i think it was), about a week later I got it back, they enclosed a letter saying that they have replaced the main circuit board inside the phone. So, same old case, scratches and all, but its like a new phone, new IMEI number and everything, normal service resumed! Full marks to O2 customer service and the repair company.
