great work .....:D
[Galaxy S II General] justmiike:
I have had my SG2 for almost a month now with Auto Adjust Screen Power option off. I have another SG2 phone which I got 4 days ago with Auto Adjust Screen Power option on.

On the lowest brightness mine is about 10-20% brighter compared to the SG2 I got 4 days ago on the lowest settings.

Also on the lowest brightness, mine has a more yellow tinge compared to the one I got 4 days ago that has a noticeable bluish tinge.

I have now turned the Auto Adjust Screen Power option off on the phone I got 4 days ago.

With this option off, will the brightness increase in time? If so, how long? Or is the phone I got 4 days ago faulty? The brightness difference is very noticeable.

With Auto Adjust Screen Power ticked or not ticked, you can't see the difference, I'm assuming this happens over a period of a few days or even weeks?

Can someone confirm?
[Galaxy S II General] xeq544:
The chainfire3d app is good for calibrating your colors, im using the night mode with custom RGB color settings, with slightly reduced overall brightness for slight battery preservation and to reduce the green and blue channels.

These are my current settings(adjust screen power off, film mode)

Note, that the sliders were moved just a little, but that doesnt mean there is little difference, moving one slider one pixel to the right or left makes noticeable difference.

BTW this is also good for screen brightness modification without loosing the auto brightness option. It brings a LOT of battery savings, as you can see Im using around 80 percent of total brightness, so when the screen goes automatically to 100 percent, it really is only 80 percent. But I dont recommend going lower than this, because the lowest brightness with these settings is too dark after this tweak and you can clearly see all the manufacturing imperfections on the screen when using the device in low light conditions. Though I dont mind that so I am currently running at a little lower values than those on this screenshot.

P.S. I know the night mode isnt intended for this usage, but its the best thing we have right now.

P.P.S. When tweaking the values, dont go below 1/10th of the slider. Your screen will become so dark you will have trouble setting it back!!! (Learned this the hard way lol)

What pisses me off most on this screen however, are poor gradient transitions. Looks like its 16bit colors... thats disappointing, the color transitions of the "test" and "okay" buttons on the screenshot look so much better on my computer screen.
[Galaxy S II General] slind:
Hey!

Got my SG2 since it's release in Germany and used it for an average of 2.5h a day with display being on.

I usually use low brightness settings and leave the automatic brightness adjustment (not automatic brightness, I mean the option that limits brightness output) most of the time if I'm not in sunny places over the day.

However when compared to a new SG2 from a friend of mine, with the exact same settings his phone is noticeable brighter.

Has anyone of you also noticed a very quick brightness reduction?

Would that be covered by Samsungs warranty if some day I decide that it's to dark?

Does the chainfire app settings solve the black crush issue? Also I can't find the screen modes setting under settings>display on my sghI777. Does the AT&T variant have this option?
[Galaxy S II General] Kyrax12:
wait so the vibrant colors of the SG SII will diminish over time? D:
[Galaxy S II General] torres76:
Who cares ....... My screen is wonderful
[Galaxy S II General] bigblue95z:
No it doesn not have this capability on the stock firmware. You must be running a custom ROM (such as UnNamed or ICS'd Out) to be able to use the screen mode settings.

There has been some work by Supercurio as well. He has a screen tuning app that I used and had some success with adjusting the screen tuning.
[Galaxy S II General] puremind:
The last time I checked, it didn't in a significant way, but this is still under development, so this may still change.
[Galaxy S II General] puremind:
No, color saturation (how dee and intense the colors are) remains but the screen brightness does diminish over time.
[Galaxy S II General] rj3005:
Leds, so presumably amoled as well, quickly loose 10..20% brightness when new and then stabilize. I don´t expect displays to get too dark within the life of the phone.

In any case European warranty is 24 months by the time it runs out you most likely upgrade to a SGS-IV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
Couple things.. first off I'm coming from an HD2 running CM7 CM7 NAND and it runs flawless. When I got the HD2 from my previous TP2 the signal went to sh!t.. I thought to myself, could any phone have worse reception than this thing?! Enter the G2X and the answer is yes!.. I went from a weak 1-2 bar signal on my HD2 to nothing on this G2X at my place.

Secondly, I have had my grandfathered $5.99 TMobileWEB for years and it even worked on my HD2.. well it seems unless I have a ROM issue on all that I've tried so far it has finally been cut off... the ONLY reason I have kept T-Mobile all this time is mainly because I get a reasonably priced data plan on a network that only until recently has been EDGE.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I noticed the opposite, I too have came from an HD2. I wouldn't be mad because T-Mobile found out a loophole you used to avoid higher data plan prices.

Warranty replace and get the appropriate data plan is my guess, yes that's an unsavory solution. . .I am going on to my 3rd replacement soon -_-, but its worth it for a phone this powerful. The data plan thing was inevitable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I've found quite the opposite. My G2X has awesome signal strength compared to my last 3 phones (Nexus, Vibrant and Nexus S). In my home, I used to get 2-3 bars with my old phones but with my G2X I stay at full bars. I also haven't had a dropped call yet with it in the past 2 months since I had it. Only calls that drops I get is when talking to friends who use Sprint and AT&T. Go figure ! As for your data plan. Sorry about your luck but you should have known this day was coming. They were bound to find the loop hole you have been using for god knows how long. Just pay what I think is reasonable for mobile data because depending on where you live, you could be paying more from another provide and getting slower data speeds. I live in Baltimore and have been blessed with great voice and data services at a reasonable price for Tmobile. I am getting 9mb/s down on a regular basis.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Try it in a location that you are sure has good signal and see how it does. My phone has very good reception with stock ROM and modified (EB) froyo with a kernel. It also had good reception with other ROMs - both froyo and GB.

Your MobileWeb should still work (unless there is an APN issue with that plan on this device). If there is, you might want to fool around with the that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
I downloaded APN changer program and verified I am using the same epc.tmobile.com that has always worked.. it shows a connection both EDGE or H depending on where I am at but no luck.. I put my SIM back in my HD2 and I am back in business again. Anything else I can check.. any android network testing utilities to see where the data is dropped?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
I'm also coming from and HD2 and also lost my cheap internet.

The HD2 with NAND Android was better than my current g2x, even with the custom kernel installed on my g2x.

Maybe we just need to be patient with the developers. HD2 ROMS weren't done in one night either....
[Desire General] Vice83:
Hey guys

I keep seeing these terms, but still confused about what they mean.

- what does OJ/TB wake mean?

- how are they different from Menu button wake/ Trackpad wake?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] lordvoldemort:
OJ ---Optical Joystick..>Rest I donno:p
[Desire General] mercianary:
OJ=optical joystick

TB=Track Ball

They are the same thing really, but neither is the right thing to call it. Should be OT, Optical Trackpad i suppose

Hello all im thinking of making a site dedicated to ROM images on the Galaxy 3 would the ROM creators be okay with me copying roms to another site (they will stay here but there will a one stop shop for ROMs only
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
I am ok with it..just use download links from the thread, dont mirror, please give a link to original developer, original thread, and Update as the thread is updated...
[Galaxy 3 General] rdass3646:
I think noone will be having any problem with that as long as you give proper credit to rom developers.But you must host their rom after taking permission from them.
[Galaxy 3 General] lashton:
Oh I wont be hosting the ROMs, ill keep them where they are, just moe of a fan/info site for the Galaxy 3
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
ok, sounds good :)
[Galaxy 3 General] rudolf895:
sure do it..

But as dharamg3 said..

Dont re upload the rom and provide a link to official xda page :)

For download links use the ones in the official thread :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobhilton6969:
Hello all,

I just got the TB about 2 days ago. Its stock. Im not really impressed with it at all. I hate the HTC Sense crap. I have 12 days left if I want to return it and switch. If im going to keep it, I reallly just need to test it out the way I would really use it.

I want to root it and install a custom rom. I've been reading for 2 days and am comfortable rooting it, flashing the rom, radio, and kernel. I just cant use it with this sense crap on it and the battery life sux bad.

If I do root it, and flash the rom, radio, and kernel. How hard is it to go back to 100% undetectable stock (if I return it) I know how to unroot it just by tossing a stock image back on. But what about CWM? I root it with, flash CWM install a rom then do radio and kernal.

To undo it all do I just toss back a stock image? or do i need to find a copy of the stock radio and kernal? are they just in the stock image?

Do you guys think the hardware is better in the ThunderBolt vs the X2? I know the TB has wayyyyy better dev so far.... the X2 is dual core ... but only has 512mb ram.... I only get a stock quadrant of like 1500.... i watch vids on the X2 stock quad scores of like 2500+ and almsot dbl the FPS....

Any info would be awesome....thanks guys!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Full RUU's contain the radio and kernel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Just toss a stock image, yes.

Quadrants don't mean anything.

The x2 has a locked bootloader.

I've seen it lag switching homescreens.

Android Police gave the x2 quite a hammering ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobhilton6969:
Thanks guys.... Maybe I will keep it.... depends how it runs after some work...

I came from the org D1 w/ cm7. A very clean AOSP like feel... I've looked at some ROMS and see that they have CM7 but says its like pre alpha? I also see alot of people using that DAS BAMF one... I looked at pics of that one and wasnt sure on it.

Is there any ROMs that are fairly stable that are just like plain ole android, no sense crap just clean where i can customize it like i did on CM7? Anyone know a good combo with ROM/Radio/Kernel maybe even overclocked a tad.... that works pretty nice on the TB that I could try tonight?

sorry if this is the wrong section for this..... and thx agian for the help
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Unfortunately the only AOSP builds we have is the pre-alpha CM7. You can use the BAMF Roms and then flash the de-sense option to it as well to get it close to an AOSP rom but thats about it. I hear people say that CM7 is fairly stable for them tho so maybe its an option for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
It's a good thing you hate sense because the best Rom I have found (both performance and battery life) is bamf stripped v1.1. It's not an asop Rom but it has most of the sense stripped out with a very light UI, I installed launcher pro and its very fast and smooth
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
Kinda dont understand why one would buy an htc device knowing it has sense built into the framework only to complain about the sense?

sent from my bamfed out bolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
He may have learned that he hates sense after he got it. I learned that I hate motoblur after I got my Droid X and I now know that I hate sense (after I got the thunderbolt) lucky for us there are plenty of other launchers to install to get the features and performance we want
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobhilton6969:
Well.... I (like most others...i would think) choose a phone based on hardware and performance ..... not software. Not really saying the sense is bad.... just saying its not my style.... just seems to iPhone-ish.... ya dig?

Thanks for the help..... im going in...!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Because with the help of communities like XDA we can make mod our phones into the experience that we want :D I have only owned HTC android phones and I also find sense to be annoying lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C@rn@ge:
If you're going to flash a froyo custom rom, I would stick with the stock radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I recommend the one with 1.13.605.7 CDMA AND 1.12.605.6 LTE. That one has much faster 3g than stock. The one with updated 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE caused reboots for me

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3doncrack:
Hello. As you can see, I'm a new member here and I'm also a new Android user; I bought my Nexus S (GT-i9020A) last week.

After a few days, I started thinking about jailbreaking my phone(rooting in Android's case) but I'm not really sure where to start, what rooting/flashing/ROM/etc means so I am just dumbfounded.

I want to customize my phone, make it look cool, etc.

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anremi:
1. Root = Unlock to change operating system

2. Install Recovery = Tool to install alternate operating system (ROM)

=> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931865

3. Install ROM = Modify the operating system

Then you can change kernel (link betwen operating system and the processor) or radio (link betwen operating system and radio communication).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
Just to add a bit more info, rooting allows you full system access to your phone, where as stock prevents you from accessing certain areas. Some Apps that need to work with the phone on a low level need this root access.

A ROM is not really an operating system, its just the UI that sits on top of it, so different ROMS are custimized etc, lots to choose to your taste.

The recovery allows you to flash these ROM's , but it also allows you to backup your phone, access your storage etc in the case you can not boot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
'one more thing', root =! jailbreak, for god sake! android is 'jailbreaked' by default! =o)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3doncrack:
Okay, that explained a lot. But what about the version of my phone? Most guides I see are for 2.3.3 but my phone is 2.3.4? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
The rooting process is the same for 2.3.3 & 2.3.4.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3doncrack:
okay. Does phone model matter? Like i9020A or i9020T etc.?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
It should be the same for all the GSM models. Using an NS4G (D720) guide will not work.

(If you start flashing full roms, then you might want to use one specific to your exact model.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It's not,

9020 rooting is different as 9023/9020A are different. They're similar but there is a minor difference.

And rooting != flashing.

Rooting permits you administrative access to change anything within Android (/system). HOWEVER, it doesn't give you permission to change the recovery. Changing the recovery isn't rooting. Rooting is step one of it but it is not the ability to flash a custom recovery.

The "rooting" process is for ANY android OS. Android OS will not be changing how the bootloader functions unless a new version of the bootloader is changed but it shouldn't significantly change.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Pray tell what this difference is.

I thought it was the other way around: flashing a custom recovery is step one (well, two) of rooting.

Are you saying that the rooting process for the Nexus S will work for any android phone (for example the Hero or the Droid Charge)? Really?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
For one, when the I9020A was announced, they were using the 9020T method to root and it didn't work. Hence there are two separate threads for rooting respective to that particular phone.

That's why one of the guides say,

[GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9020T only)

Second: It depends. Some phones you can root with using the stock recovery. For example, the Galaxy S. You just download su.zip, rename it to update.zip go into stock recovery. Reinstall updates and BAM! you're rooted, you then proceed to get ROM manager and download Clockwork Recovery from there.

Edit: For example if you wanted to, you could totally unlock the bootloader and rename su.zip to update.zip and flash that in the stock recovery. It'll do nothing but add superuser.apk into /system/app. Because when I rooted my Nexus S. I didn't flash Clockwork Recovery yet, I wanted to make sure my phone didn't have any defects before changing it (this was before Google added a script to flash the stock recovery). Most guides make you flash Clockwork Recovery first, but in reality, it doesn't matter the order. But if you're a novice user, I'd just follow the guide.

Third: No, by using common sense and process of elimination. I was clearly talking about the Nexus S due to its ability to unlock and lock the bootloader.

Also, you said "GSM models" and referred a "NS[4G]" and you said charge and hero.. so, you're kind of contradicting yourself here.

Again, process of elimination.

Thanks for trying to push my buttons though, didn't really work. Having said, not to say anything else. I have 2400+ posts, you figure I would know what I'm talking about. Nice try :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
I could only find two differences between these guides. One is a patch for the 9023 drivers. I'm assuming Google has fixed this by now. (Can anyone confirm this?)

The other difference is the recoveries they use. Thanks to j_r0dd, you no longer need a separate recovery for the 9023.

Perhaps I should have said "Any up to date GSM Nexus S guide should work."

.

That is freaking cool. I'm going to unroot and try it. Do you need to do anything special in recovery, or just put the zip in the right place?

The xda app doesn't show post counts. I figured thumping you in the chest would cover all the bases. ;)
[HTC Sensation] bumbinokid:
I just got the sensesation today I had a mytouch 4G and loved it. I was really looking forward to the sensesation now that I got it I'm not happy with it I'm little disappointed. When I'm on the phone and turn the speaker on it is so low that in order for me to hear I have to put it up to my ear. Maybe I'm not giving the phone a chance and once we can root it then it will be awesome. But I need some opinions if I do trade it in what phone should I get instead of it. I've heard a lot of talk about the Samsung galaxy s. I'm thinking I might just go back to the mytouch. Oh and also the speaker part is not main reason why I'm disappointed in the phone
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
What is it that you find disappointing?

Hmm I'm not if it's just my phone or what but the speaker volume is so low I don't even bother using it now.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
the mytouch 4g started this way too. Just wait for root and enhancement. In the mean time try using player pro. Its plays the music through loud speaker louder than the stock.

But if your dissappointed the go back to your mt4g. I personally found it to be a nice upgrade over my mt4g.
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
Don't get the Galaxy S, wait for the S2 if your going to return it. Before I got the phone I kept reading the speaker on the phone is bad, it's actually a very good upgrade from the one I had on my HD2. I'm loving the phone! Give it some more time

[Eee Pad Transformer General] levenite:
Is H.264 the best codec for playback on the Tegra 2? I ask this because it is stated:

See: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/boxee-box-ditches-nvidias-tegra-2-for-intel-ce4100-pre-orders/

Now, VC-1 is comparable in quality to H.264. Indeed some Blu-ray disks use VC-1!

It is also interesting that the Tegra 2 chip has, as its legacy, the Tegra APX 2600 which does 720p VC-1/WMV9 Advanced Profile Decode.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra#Tegra_2_.28T20.2FAP20H.29

Not that I know of an easy to find cheap VC-1 encoder, but Microsoft's VC-1 implementation is WMV9. This does not mean Android has or will have support for it, but given the Tegra 2's legacy, it would be interesting to find out.:cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
It'll decode 720p High-Profile H264 now with the 3.1 update, but the requirements are very specific (3 reference frames and a few other things I can't really remember). I think the level supported is only up to 4.1 though, not really sure since I mostly stream stuff off my home server which transcodes everything to MPEG2 on the fly.
