The way LCD's work is they have a light thats on all the time.

Small time line of LCD backlight tech

Normal LCD's had say 8 spotlights which cover the back of the whole screen, if you turned one off you wouldnt get any benefit as just an 8th of the screen would be darker.

newer slim LED backlit ones are generally illuminated from the side, so theres not light behind the screen, its all piped in from the edge lit display. This is how samsung can get their screens so thin.

Some LED backlit screens ( bang & Olufsen LCD's and the LG infinia ) have similar LED illumination but the LED's are behind the screen, they can do something called localised dimming which means where there is black, the LED's behind it turn down or off to produce a darker image. On the LG this is in small sections where as the new Bang & Olufsen screen is Fully LED backlit and from my understanding has a tiny LED per pixel.. but for £12,000 what do you expect ?

As for phone screen LED's they are mainly edge lit ( meaning on or off for the whole screen, no inbetween )
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Interesting. I didn't realize how un-advanced LCD display tech was. I kinda figured in this day and age they would have better control of the backlight illumination.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
As people talking about Screen. Can i ask you guys a question: What da hell about the price?

Over 4.0 inch AMOLED/SAMOLED Screen would be a big hit to your wallet.

Big phone, Big Screen, Big Battery, cost more than you thought.

AMOLED juice the battery more than SLCD? Okay, if that thing is true, you need a hella bigger Battery for it, 1700mAh? or even 2000mAh? A day and you need a charger.

Believe or not, now i can't take anything under 4.0 inch, since i am addicted to 4.0(and over) Inch-screen device.

4.7 Inch SCLD would be a liitle bit big for a normal jean pocket, but i think i can handle it.

Currently i am having Hd7, but i think i will get Eternity if this is a real deal, since Mango + 1.5 Ghz CPU + 4.7 Inch SLCD are enough to pull me out of 1ghz CPU + 4.3 Inch LCD-TFT.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vj1:
A week ago i brought new Samsung Galaxy Ace S8530 from day 1 to this day i am facing severe battery drain problem... yesterday i connected my cell to kies through Usb and then on my screen Pop up window came saying Firmware update i have attached the image of that firmware update version..

So all i want to know is what exactly a firmware update does..& most Important does it increases the battery life of Android cells!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil_:
The firmware update is released,

1.To fix the bugs that were present in the previous version.

2.To add new features and updates.

About the battery drain, I don't think that the fw update will increase your battery life.

But you can use battery calibration app for that. Also juice defender works well for me.

You can create an internet s

If you go to internet sharing in windows xp, vista or 7 you can create a pico-net whereby your computer's internal network card broadcast a network, it must be a ad-hoc network. The range will be about 50 ft and your phone can pick up on the wifi. I used to do this when I had cricket and needed to hook up devices that didnt have a USB drive.

Cheers!

[Verizon Droid Charge] StoneCold X:
I have had my phone for almost 3 weeks now, and last night was the first time that I have had this happen to me. Was trying to check my voicemail, and the screen kept cutting on me. When I moved the phone, it would come back on and then just cut out again. It made it a pain to try and input my voicemail password and menu prompts.

Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix to it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
You wouldn't have been in an environment where the phone thought you were holding it up against your head by any chance?

No. I was in a well lit room with the phone anyway from face.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trinity842:
I have the same problem. It happens when I have to dial more numbers into any phone call (basically during a call)

It is hard to enter phone numbers or even end the call sometimes.

What is wrong with the phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Pretty sure this is caused by the prox sensor. It happens when i use my rt. hand to enter passcode. If I use my left hand it doesn't happen. Only happens on the dialpad screen. I think the sensor is a little too sensitive.

Thanks, I'll try entering numbers with my right hand and hold the phone with the left hand instead.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Hey Guys,

4G is coming to my area in late July so naturally I'm thinking of upgrading from my Dinc.

For those of you that have 4G in your areas, how is it in terms of speed and stability as you travel around your home town? Do you guys dig the Thunderbolt? And how is tethering with the TB on 4G? Does it rock as much as I think it does?

I'm thinking of snatching one off ebay as my discounted upgrade isn't available until March 2012. I've been reading about rooting the TB. Looks like the process is a little different from the Dinc, as there's no unrevoked method. Aside from that, is the TB easy to customize after obtaining root?

Sorry for all the stupid questions. Just trying to reaffirm my near-decision to drop $300-$400 tomorrow.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I came from the Incredible also and was a bit iffy on it. I didn't like the battery life at first, but I loved everything else about the phone. With an extended battery, and the great developers that work on this phone, I really don't have anything bad to say about it. I'm getting a constant 40+ hours out of my phone, it does everything I need it to, its quick, snappy, and responsive. GB & Sense 3.0 are great. And 4G speeds are just awesome. To sit on your phone and surf the web, at speeds that I get with FiOS on my PC, it's just great.

Plus the fact I got the TB for $280 and sold my INC for $220 made me love it even more :p
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
The 4G is awesome. It's really fast, I get atleast 10 to 15mbps, but usually 20mbps, and about 5mbps upload. Beats the s___ out of all the other 4g networks I have tried.

The only thing with the T-Bolt for me is the battery life, plus the proximity sensor is really iffy, in that it can't properly detect whether the phone is near my ear, which causes the screen to stay on during a call.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNitebreedx:
I get between 10-20 down. Phone is really fast. Battery life wasn't great stock, but if you get a good ROM/Kernel combo it's vastly improved (check out das BAMF ROMs they're one of the best).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJorje:
Yeah, I can pretty much concur with everything that's been said. On 3g, battery life is about the same as the inc for me, but lte lowers that considerably. I generally cannot get an entire day on one charge. If you can live with that and have steady access to 4g, it makes the phone load pages like it's on wifi (I get around 12 mbps, which is the same speed as my home internet). If you're thinking of it as an incremental upgrade from the inc, you're on the right track. It won't be a revelation, but it is better. I think the issue is that the inc was just very, very good.

I am VERY disappointed in LTE, but im in love with the device. Im in the tampa area and i cannot get over 5 down 4 up at any time of day. I was expecting atleast 10 down.

But the voice + data in 3G (tested :D ) is pretty sick and I love the device. The battery life sucks (i use a extended now) and the GPS has a funky issue where it puts me 40 miles away for a second or two in Maps and weather, but its nothing to be mad about.

Thanks to all for the great info. I got a good one on ebay last night for $385.00. Comes with a 32GB SD card (*drool*). Just ordered a black silicone case for it. Thinking of what type of screen protector to get. I've used an Invisible Shield for my Dinc for a year. Wondering if anyone has any better recommendations on those. I don't really like how the Inv.Shield peels off at the corners over time. Although I see that the newer cases cover the corners.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Yea, I'm definitely gonna go the route of an extended battery. I've read way much negative feedback to ignore it.

For any of you guys who've ever used those 3500mah batteries, does using the custom doors for those give the camera tunnel vision? Seems like it would with the opening being raised nearly an inch from the frame.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
3500 mah is way overkill imo. It makes the phone oddly proportioned. I'm running the HTC extended and ill get a cool 24 hours on it with moderate usage at work, 3g only, and WiFi at home with a lot of playing on the phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
Yea, I agree. I bought the 18oomah for my Dinc so it'd fit the original door and case I purchased.

It's be great to know I have plenty of battery power with the 3500, but I don't want my pocket to feel like I'm carrying a rock.

I immediately bought the Seidio 3200mAh battery and the Seidio Convert Extended Case. I'm getting 2 days on a charge with heavy use.

All in all, I'm very pleased. First thing I did was root, de-bloat, and turn off the LTE radio (don't have it here yet). Definitely glad I bought it!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbrown3460:
any slim extended batteries out?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackenstein:
I've seen them up to an 1800mah, but people complain that they drain just as fast as the stock battery. Not sure about that, but in my situation, I have a charger just about every where I go (work, car, bedroom, couch in living room). Still debating whether or not I really need to go that route. Getting a 3500mah would be great in terms of power, but since the battery door doesn't cover the entire back like the Dinc it will make the phone lopsided and awkward as someone mentioned earlier. I don't like the sound of that, lol.
