[Galaxy S II General] (•.•):
There is a good chance for a burn in on the sgs2... but only if you use high brightness all the time, long screen on periods with no movement of graphics, so that the pixels can change.

tip: set your phone to 25% brightness (this will make the battery life even longer then 10% or 50%)

tip: set the phone turn off screen after 30 sec.

tip: Use a "Screen flashlight" app (fullscreen of red,green,blue etc) from time to time in all colors, to get all pixels changed and see if there is any problem.

triple tip ;)

My nexus one has screen burn of the notification bar. Many of us have this issue. All amoled screens can have this problem, nothing you can do really.
[Galaxy S II General] dpcdpc11:
That's my experience with SG2... nothing I can do about it!

I've tried running Screen Burn-In Tools (some app from Google Play) about an hour a day for a few days now and still the damn ugly burn-in is there!

Since I bought the phone from a dude, I can't return it to Samsung and stuff. Guess I should look closer when buying a phone from strangers! And I should've documented myself about the GS2 problems before buying one.

Didn't think an expensive phone could have these ridiculous problems!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiram:
Hey,

I know theres a lot of threads about htc/android phones freezing and crashing/rebooting but none of them really described my exact situation. And since it's getting worse and worse and driving me crazy, I wanted to ask for help.

As the title suggests my HTC Desire keeps freezing and crashing (sometimes rebooting, too).

It all probably started shortly before I first rooted my device, following the great sticky noob-tutorial. First problem was, that sometimes my phone wouldn't wake up from standby, especially after I a missed call (rooting didn't solve that problem).

Some time later, now rooted and with a custom ROM, I noticed, that sometimes when I wanted to use my phone, it showed the PIN-screen, which obviously means, that it rebooted quietly (don't remember if this also happened before rooting).

A few days ago it started to completely freeze, when connected to the charger. Orange LED showed it was charging but no reaction to pressing any buttons or disconnect the charger.

Since yesterday it also crashes randomly in standby mode (can't wake it up) or e.g. when watching a video (just freezes the device, no reaction to button-pressing, screen stays on etc.)

now I am running the stability test with the charger connected - no problem for 1h10min til now...

The ROM I am running is the latest cool sense (problems also existed before the latest update)

No modification of CPU (I used to use SetCPU but since I thought that would cause the problems I uninstalled it -> no improvement)

What could be the problem here?:confused: (And how can I solve it, of course?)

Anything else than a full wipe, which could help? (that would be my last option...)

Thanks for helping...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiram:
it just happened again -.-

I was just backing up some apps with titanium backup and in the middle of scrolling through the list - freeze! :(

dunno what to do...

is this hardware or software related?...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Hello.

It would be pretty easy if it is a soft problem. This kind of problems are usually dealt with by installing another ROM and see if the problems persist. So if you want to try and eliminate the last option, go and install another ROM, it can be a Stock ROOT-ed ROM, Sense or anything.

The fact that you mentioned your phone was crashing even before rooting got me thinking it is a motherboard fault. I've read some threads in which people had the same problems, and in the end they all got to the same conclusion: motherboard fault. The only resolve with this is to get it to guarantee.

So first of all try installing another ROM and if the problems persist, you will need to install a RUU and see if this one eliminates your problem. If not then I don't know if there is anything else you could do, besides getting it to the guarantee.

I wait for your progress.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiram:
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

The funny thing is, that I didnt have those problems with this ROM in the beginning. Everything was fine, that's why I was using it the whole time. But as I said before, it became worse by and by... thats why I thought it could be an app or so...

that would be a recent list of apps: appbrain.com/user/marioiram/

Cannot even sync my newest list, because after freezing while watching a video, it froze again shortly after reboot... still getting worse :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Try reinstalling the ROM or installing another ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiram:
hm.. just when I was thinking about following your advice, my desire stopped freezing xD

no crash, no freeze oder reboot since my last post.

I even tried to force it by watching videos, playing games, connect to the charger etc.

everything is fine... strange.

Will see for how long
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UsManyDead:
Well this is good news. Just keep in mind what you can do if the rebooting comes back. Hope it doesn't :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marioiram:
Well, it did xD

Now even shortly after reboot. I'll try ROM changes as soon as I get home but there's something I noticed: it often freezes when it's supposed to display a whatsapp notification and sometimes it seems there's a problem with the sdcard (just bought a new one because my old one went nuts). Sometimes the notification 'sdcard was removed unexpectedly' (translated from German) is appearing, but after waiting a few minutes everything is fine again...

Well I'll try some stuff when there's time...

Hi:

I just wanto to let you know that I had the same issue, so I decided to send it to SAT, they changed the motherboard...

Phone is always showing how much internal memory it has. It will not show you space of your ext partition on sd card. Don't worry about it, it's normal.

You can check your free space of ext partition by typing in terminal 'df -h', line with '/sd-ext' will be your ext partition.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Svid:
android roms will not show you your ext partition size.Custom roms might.To see your partition and the folders,i use root explorer.Great app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thre3aces:
I can see what you mean when u say that the phone doesn't always show all of the ext2 because in open recovery it shows how much ext2 is left but since the phone doesn't recognise the internal memory I can't install more apps. It just says not enuff internal memory.

Also on my friends htc desire he has a 1gb ext3 partition and on his phone it shows that he has 1gb internal memory.

On a slightly unrlated subject do u know of any build.prop fixes to show all market apps on the milestone (I'm using iceandfire 2.8 if that makess a difference)

Thanks for the help so far

Cache and Gmail takes up internal storage space

U might have moved all your apps to SD or Ext 2/3/4 but what about caches for your application....the cache is taking up your internal storage space.

Also what about Gmail? I supposed Gmail is also using the internal storage space to store your emails.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] thre3aces:
Actually I just realised something. On my 1st post I had 30mb free. Now I have 80mb internal storage and I haven't done anything either my phone is automatically moving app to SD or they are being transferred to my ext2 partition

hi, i wanna set up swap but i cant find any real tutorial. :confused: can someone please give me some steps to get swap running on my phone? thanks!

alright, maybe this is more of a "how should i set up my sd" post cos i also havent used apps2ext. (have been using the internal memory, very noob i know)
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
So what ROM are you running? Its pretty easy if you have one of the custom ROM's from this forum installed. They all have swap support, all you have to do is fastboot into the fjfalcon kernel and swap will be active. Theres a video by reverend you can search he shows how you can parition your SD card and how to get swap running step by step. Look for that...or wait lemme find you the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034763

Check these videos out. This is assuming you know how to use adb shell etc...
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
thanks, doing the linux part now. i wanted to do it on my windows emulator (im on a mac) but its stored on my external hard drive and the hard drive just crashed so i went to find other ways. found virtualbox for mac.

btw, can you recommend me a setup for my sd? as in the size for each partition. thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
I partitioned my SD card exactly like how reverend does in the video.

6.8 GB FAT32

900 MB EXT3

92 MB LINUX SWAP

Works great :)
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
i read somewhere in a malaysian forum where khal recommended someone 513mb for swap... is it too much?

ext3 is for dexter's rom to move apps installed to it so its stored on the card instead of the phone right?
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Correct, the EXT3 partition is for moving your apps to the SD card.

I can't say about the swap, you'll have to ask khal or fjfalcon who made the kernel as to what the optimum settings are. I use 91 MB, and according to set CPU even after heavy usage half of my swap remains unused. I cant see how someone can have around half a GB of idle apps open for them to be on swap.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Khal recommended 500 for ext3, 513 for swap and the rest fat32
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
crap i dont have a card reader, my phone shows up on the emulator but its kinda "grey-ed" like its not supposed to be able to mount on the virtual machine. any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Select memory card access in the USB options if you havent and set USB debugging ON.
[Milestone XT720 General] eSu.Matix:
oO

The phone use 30MB of swap mostly. 513 is a waste of memory for sure.

Also - Yes! ext3 partition is for apps.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Thats nice to know if true! But I have seen mixed opinions while searching for a straight answer on it lol. I have seen some say 30 and others besides Khal also say 513. I might have to repartition again and see how it does with only 30 as I've been 513 for quite a while now see if there's a difference.

I also read that swap should be bigger than the amount of ram. But I don't know can't get a positive answer. If that's the case then that's why 513 makes sense then. Double the ram plus 1. Anybody else know?

Just found this tutorial it says...

Step 5: Create your new partitions. You can make these any size, but the most common setup is 32 MB linux-swap partition, 512 MB ext2 partition, and remaining free space as a fat32 partition. In order to work properly, the partitions must be created in this order: fat32, ext2, linux-swap.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucifaru:
Dear all,

I have flahsed docomo's rom for the ARC on my HK branded ARC, and for some peculiar reasons, when I tried to add an APN for my provider, which has a different MCC and MNC, that APN will not save on the phone. If you used the default MCC and MNC as the Japanese APN's, it will stay there but as soon as you change those settings that particular APN will disappear.

Out of desperation I went to the market to see if there are any APN apps that can force save a setting. I thus downloaded APN manager and it worked for I can, through that app, choose the APN I wanted to use and it will work!

However, if you go to setting by pressing the menu button to see the list of APNs stored in your phone, the one that is saved using the APN manager will disappear and you have to redo it again... So you cant open the APN menu under network settings... very queer...

But at least I have a semi solution for now, and I have no idea why the docomo ROM runs smoother than the official HK 2.3.3.... But unfortunately, it is only a 2.3.2 ....

I recently rooted my Inspire (2 days ago) and just today ive noticed that im getting dead spots on my touch screen. Its most noticeable when im typing something and one of the keys will hardly register. I will have to push multiple times, harder than I would normally have to for it to register. Rebooting the phone fixes the dead spot for a while, and then a new spot will have the same issue a little later. If anyone has any suggestions or and ideas on what could possibly be causing this I would really appreciate it.

What rom/kernel are you using? A lot of people were having that problem, including myself, and to my understanding it had something to do with the drivers. I believe Lee's latest kernel addresses this problem.

This is a known touch screen drivers issue. Only way out is to press power for screen off, and then press again for screen on. I don't think any of our devs here can do anything about it (atleast I assume so, with no doubts about the abilities of our devs).

I just received an invite 4 Google Music Beta. I live in India. I was able to do the download in my PC. But I'm not able to get it installed and linked to my Google account in android.

The problem is

1) the region I'm in is outside US ie India.

2) Market Enabler doesn't work for my handset bcoz its not rooted. Is there any Enabler for non rooted devices.

3) I installed the Google music.apk from a site but was not able to link the Google music to my account. How can I do that.

Please help!

I can install the .apk but its not getting linked to my Google account. How do I do the linking ? And the .apk URL doesn't work can u give any other link.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
you have to flasjh the radio in hboot. make sure its named right and on sd card root directory. turn off, hold power and volume down and apply update
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just for a little more clarity...

I always like to flash GB radios before I flash into a GB ROM, but I suppose it can be done vice versa. Just make sure that the radio is named "PG05IMG.zip" on the root (not in ANY folders) of your SD card, and then like Viper said, hold your volume down and power buttons until you boot into bootloader (from an off-powered state, that is), wait for bootloader to find the update, and press volume up to update. If that still doesn't work, I'd suggest wiping data/cache/dalvik, flashing back to Froyo, re-updating your radio on the Froyo ROM, re-wiping data/cache/dalvik, and re-flashing your GB ROM. Hope this helps!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:
I think I know what the problem is.. When I get into hboot it finds the update then i begin it. It starts but there is only two things that get updated.. its something then Radio_v2 or something like that..isnt there supposed to be more things to update?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No sir, when updating a radio there are only 2 things updated. To achieve root and s-off, there are many more. But if you saw those two items and they were successful, then your radio did indeed update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:
hmm, idk why data isnt working then. Could it be an issue with the sim card or something?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Not likely, the SIM card doesn't handle anything like that. Have you tried wiping, flashing back to froyo, upgrading the radio in froyo and then wiping and flashing back to gingerbread?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:
I'll try that ^^
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Sounds good, be sure to report back the result! And don't forget to wipe! ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hksg:
Try reverting back to a Froyo radio on a Froyo ROM, and see if you have any issues with data connection. If not, then place the MR2 or MR2.5 radio on the root of your sd card, naming it PG05IMG.zip, restart to bootloader, flash the radio, restart your device, you will have no service, then reboot into recovery, wipe everything three times and reflash your ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:
Yea, i reverted back to froyo with the stock radio and still cant get a connection, only 1x
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
Yes you could have a bad SIM card. The SIM card is what gives you access to the data network (CDMA and LTE). Did this data problem happen as you were changing ROM's or just start out of the blue?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I didn't know that! Sorry for the misinformation earlier Viper!

In that case, maybe you could try powering down, removing your battery, and removing then re-seating your SIM? If that doesn't work then the issue may run deeper than just the ROM/Radio level, however I don't see why that would be the case considering you have not had a data problem before... Or have you?

EDIT: By the way, what Froyo ROM did you flash and what GB ROM are you flashing?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Viper_:
Well, I have flashed gb roms before and have had 4g and 3g connection before, i guess it just happened out of the blue..
