[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Hmm. I take that back! I just took some test shots and most looked good except the attached. Take a look. White balance is perfect (look at the clouds) but the eggshell (yellowy white) flowers have odd green shadows. I separated the color channels and the red channel shows the largest aberration. This looks to me like an error in the color profiles (color matrices) used by the camera. I've seen this sort of thing before and it basically amounts to one channel (or more) getting clipped too early due to bad math involved in the final "color massaging".

If I'm right, all phones will have the (same) problem and only certain shots that contain this particular shade of gray or off-white will show the problem. That would also explain why some people take a few shots and they look fine and the problem seems random. It isn't random actually: it's specific to certain shades and it is likely also only happening when the camera picks a certain white balance since the color matrices (the math) that give you your final image are most likely different for different white balance settings.

The solution should be in software: update the "bad math" and you fix the problem. I wish I had access to the raw data/photos before the JPG's are created because I could then tell if the problem is hardware or software but I'm pretty sure it's software. I could actually fix it if the phone would save raw files as that's my job: I write code to develop digital photos. ;)

From what I'm seeing right now, if you have a phone with a straight screen, no dead pixels, and a decent radio, I wouldn't panic right now and exchange it for another one for the green tint. You'll likely get a phone that has the exact same problem and when the conditions match (certain white balance and a certain shade of "off white" or "gray"), the problem will rear it's ugly head again.

[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
Thanks for the expert analysis. That helps a lot. HTC should be sending an OTA to help that issue too
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
I have had 3 evo 3d's first one I had the camera was great, but I had other problems with it. The replacement i got, I immediately noticed that when I viewed 3d content the screen seemed darker, and i got the green tint which my first unit didn't have. every picture I took needed to have the 3d aligned, and it still didn't seem as 3d as my first. I returned that unit and got a 3rd. this one, when the parralapse barrier turns on the screen isn't as dark and the pictures are not green at all and the 3d alignment is not off every time i take a pic. Im happy I returned the phone.

Try taking a non 3d pic and see if it is still really green. maybe its the lcd barrier?
[HTC EVO 3D] TumTum101:
In case no one else has demonstrated this yet, attached is a series of pictures taken one after another to show how the green tint gradually disappears. These are completely unedited and taken using default settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] Torrentula81:
Why did I have to read this! Totally bummed out now. Was going to get Seido spring holder, spray paint my back cover, got a 11,000 mah external battery. Man I was making plans. I.could try to get a replacement but the Sprint store probly hates me. I made a big deal over getting cash back return my EVO. I just left mad. Decided to stick with it. But so many things. I have no choice. Relying on software updates is never a sound choice. Odds are it won't happen. Or you'll spend half the time you will ever use the phone wajiting for that update. I'm done venting. Sorry.

Can somebody explain how the Acer A500 has a TouchWiz UX rom and we don't?

Am I missing something? How can I install TouchWiz on my tab now...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackOtaku:
I assume that it was hacked over from the 10.1v, the same way people sometimes do for Sense on non-HTC phones.

I'd just wait for the official Touchwiz update, personally. Hacking in these frameworks on foreign devices can be take a lot of time to get stable and full-featured and by that time Sammy will have probably already released their Touchwiz update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
Oh.. I didn't know the 10.1v had TouchWiz UX
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSeeker:
It didn't come from the 10.1v - it ships by default with a very vanilla HC 3.0.1

The new HC 3.1 rom from seo comes with TouchWiz. It's a little sluggish in places - esp using the Samsung Keyboard (although the incl. Swype keyboard doesn't suffer from any issues).

The taskbar at the bottom is a little too sensitive - you find yourself touching the screenshot icon by mistake when in landscape & holding the tab at the bottom.

Notification icons - either on the taskbar or from the popup settings panel don't always launch the assoc app (like gmail) - it's a little sensitive about where you tap.

Seo implemented some fixes in the kernel which fix USB charging when plugged into the PC.

Kernel devs should follow his 7100 github repo (https://github.com/stefansaraev/gtab-p7100-3.1-kernel) for details of the fix.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
The rom on the A500 has this "Based on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) P7500XXKF8_OXAKF8_XXKF8 ROM (Honeycomb 3.1)" ...

Which means there is a 3.1 TouchWiz rom for our 10.1 Tabs somewhere that we 10.1 owners don't have access to....?

*Edit*

Just found that there is a 3.1 TouchWiz released for the 10.1v here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155023
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSeeker:
The 10.1v models are P7100, the 10.1 range are the P75x0.

Apart from a few minor updates - I don't think any tabs, apart from the GoogleIO 10.1 tablets, have received proper HC updates yet.

But this is one of the reasons XDA exists isn't it? To pull together all the fragments from the myriad of builds & updates into something cohesive - fixing all the bugs introduced by the hardware vendors & network operators.

[General Questions and Answers] djphatic:
I have recently started using GoSMS and have noticed that if I reply to an SMS within the same minute then my reply appears before the received text.

I don't see the seconds on the timestamp when I view message details so the app is obviously sorting my date hh:mm and takes priority of messages sent than received.

Is this a bug in GoSMS or a limitation of Android?

I know I can change the sort order but then this puts messages in the wrong order if I receive a message late.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Turducken:
I'm trying remove garbage from my stockrom but I'm having trouble figuring out how to determine which lib***.so links to specific .apks.

For example, if I want to completely remove VoiceSearch.apk I should also remove libvoicesearch.so. Pretty self explanatory.

However, AIME.apk (LG keyboard) is linked to libxt9core.so libautohan_ini.so and libjni_xt9input.so and the entire 'system/usr/xt9' folder. I know this only because someone packaged it in a flashable zip.

I've searched the web and forums but nothing, am I asking the question incorrectly? How can I figure this out on a per apk basis for myself?

Hey.

Should I sell G2X and get Galaxy S II?

Is it worth it?

What are some points where G2X is better than SGS II....or any flaws you know about SGS II?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
If you fast forward the clock about a month from now...and you factor in the probability of an official gb release and give the devs here a short time with that release, I think any spec advantage of the S2 would end up being just a side-grade. It would make much more sense to hang out a little, enjoy the g2x as it is bound to get better and better. And save the pennies up for the next upgrade to a quad core phone. I really doubt you would see any "real-world" difference in performance between the 2 phones.

Of course, depending on the severity of your screen bleed. If it's very minor like mine is, then it won't matter. Mine is so minor, I only see it visible when I'm in clockwork recovery screen. Whoopdidoo. But some others here have claimed their phone leaks all around the screen. Of course, I have yet to see any screenshots or pictures of this, so I don't buy into a lot of the "poor me" stories.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I have both and I can tell you this. SGS2 has no lag anywhere. It's the most responsive phone out there. Engadget review even says it is "Class-leading speed and responsiveness". I have installed 150+ apps. As soon as I go in the App Manager and every app and their icons are already loaded; same goes for creating an Application shortcut. There is zero lag when installing apps, period. Swiping notification bar up and down extremely smooth while installing apps. I can be copying many files in background and still be able to use the phone or play games like normal. Wait till Gingerbread for Tegra 2 then we can compare, but I doubt it will be as lagfree as SGS2. Most of those I mentioned can't be done without delays on G2X.

If you want to know more about SGS2, check out 1080p Flash videos playing in browser or 20 opened browser tabs playing Megaupload videos on SGS2. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikku:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Same phone with slightly better screen, gimped with touchwiz interface. And Samsung doesn't exactly have the best track record.

Think about buying a used car. You could get a really reliable one. But you could also get a lemon. You know what problems your current phone has. And I'd say we're all pretty confident the G2x's issues will be ironed out very soon.

I would stick with the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I second this. I tried rooted custom roms and I ran into a bunch of constant reboots and overheating issues. Now I'm on the stock rooted 2.2 rom and I couldn't have been more please. My only gripe is that the GPS takes a little long to lock, but once it locks the phone works flawlessly. I would not spend any money on another phone unless it is something truly spectacular or its the next upcoming Nexus phone. The G2x has the specs, we just need the software to be ironed out. I honestly love this phone. I have a slight bit of screen bleed, but nothing drastic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
do it !!!!

YES !!!! 100% yes !

But first wait until SGS2 gonna get it Cyanogen.

Or better let's wait official GB update, if it's gonna be "same ****" my next phone will be -SGS2, and after on Christmas- Nexus 3.

I'm gonna keep my G2x for a couple more months, then sell it on the bay or CL. Next, I'll use that money to finance my purchase of the Samsung Hercules, which be launching on T-mobile in late August/mid September. The specs on the Hercules put the SGS2, Sensation and G2x to shame imo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Is the g2x ever going to get gingerbread? It's been after "before summer" for a long time. I haven't heard anything about it in weeks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
How does Touch Wiz gimp Android. The original Touch Wiz gimped Android but the latest version is probably the least intrusive out of any custom UI. If you don't like the looks of Touch Wiz then simply load ADW or LP. Its what most of us do on our G2X since vanilla is a little boring. Once you load your launcher of choice, Touch Wiz becomes non existant except for the features that do nothing but improve Android in a great way such as drop down notification toggles/settings, contacts list that is one of the best out there. I love how you can swipe right on a contact to call them and swipe left to start a text. So in the end. I ask you. Can you name 3 things that would get on your nerves with Touch Wiz after you load a launcher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Why would you have to switch to ATT? I've said it before and Ill say it again. I know most of you dont believe me that my step father heads Samsungs corporate insurance division in the US. Yes, Samsung has its hands in the insurance business. Anyway, he hears a few things here and there and he recently told me, the reason why the GSII is taking so long to hit the US shores is because Samsung wants a simultaneous launch across the major carriers. He didn't know if T Mobile was included in this but he said Verizon, ATT and Sprint will all launch on the same day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
Its still samsux
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tuan209:
I say no.

Just tough it out and wait for the next Nexus.

The SGII or Hercules will only be incrementally better than G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tq745:
Yes the next nexus will be king of all kings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The SGS2 just got its fourth update in two months. This one improved battery life, increased Wi-Fi signal strength, and sped up GPS lock time; three things users were asking for. Another update's due out by the end of the month bringing the phone up to 2.3.4 and integrating Google+ in to the Social Hub. How's that LG update coming along?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
And when is that supposed to be?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Helixdimension:
lol OP...

the reason I want the Samsung GSII is a matter of personal preference. I happen to like touchwiz, the amoled screen, and IMO Samsung phones take fantastic pictures in any lighting. I wasn't going to start a thread about it I just hang tight with my G2x until then haha.

i can't wait tho... people if you want the strength in numbers, the supply and demand iPhone users enjoy without iOS and or ****ty at&t then Samsung is the only choice. they're spearheading to the front for the number one android smart phone and I believe they can do it. haters gonna hate buy look at the aforementioned facts that I quoted or sales figures. people loving these phones all around the world
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I also love Touch Wiz. I can understand people hating it 2 years ago on the Behold II cause it sucked but now, it is by far the most polished manufacture UI. Its not ugly like Motoblur or laggy like Sense. Samsung did a great job by listening to its users and every iteration becomes less and less intrusive. I even like it more than bland looking vanilla. It adds extremely useful UI functions and when a custom launcher is added, everything but those useful functions disappears. I would like to know what people don't like about it once a launcher is added.......Anyone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
I was strongly considering selling my g2x to fund a purchase of the SGS2, but then I realized I would have to add an extra $250 on top of the $400 I would get for the g2x. Just not worth it especially if your on T-Mobile as you can't use 3G/4G. The Hercules is virtually a SGS2 with a bigger screen, faster data speeds and capacitive buttons. My only concern about the Hercules is the rumored Qualcomm processor... If it had Exynos/Tegra 2 I would leave my g2x no questions asked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
That's not true. It's an Infuse with a dual-core processor. It won't have USB2G, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 3.0, and a bunch of other stuff that's on the SGS2 and it and the Infuse are U.S. market only phones. Feature wise, the SGSZ is a better comparison.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
And besides the rumors all of us heard, you know all of this how? Stop talking out your ass unless you can back it up with cold hard fact. Excuse ne if your a Samsung engineer or executive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
We'll find out in September, won't we? I read somewhere that they were using the OLAP chip because its what worked in the Infuse chassis. I'll try and find the article so the hair on the back of your neck can go back down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tuan209:
If the SGS II was out now or possibly early August, I say its a no brainer.

If we are looking at September or early Oct, why even bother? By that time the next Nexus is just right around the corner.

If we have learned anything, vanilla Android or not, these manufacturers are going to take their sweet time providing updates. Heck, the G2 doesnt even have GB on it yet.

Having owned the N1 for the last year and a half, I feel bad for anyone still running on Froyo.

I just picked up a used G2x last night but only out of necessity. I need the wifi calling app on the G2x because my new apartment has no service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Here are the some of the rumored specs for the Samsung Hercules.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS

dual-core 1.5GHz

Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 processor

1GB of RAM

16GB of flash storage

4.5-inch 800 x 480Super AMOLED Plus

8-megapixel 3264×2448 pixels camera

1080p 1920×1080 pixels full HD video support

NFC support

max speeds of 42Mbps downstream with HSDPA

MHL port which combines microUSB and HDMI port as one single port

and is "supposed" to have AT&T's 3G bands as well;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I just hate when people read something on the internet and then pass it off to others as if it were absolutely true. Ive read multiple rumors about the phone and the blogs I read them on are taken with a grain of salt. The phone is to far out for people to fully know what type of hardware the phone is using. Let alone USB 3,0 or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
Simple, yes. Everything about the SGS2 is better. Only thing you need to look out for is bugs. If the bugs are to a minimum, absolutely.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Didn't mean any offense here. I'm just under the assumption that any custom UI will soak up a bit of memory that could be used for other actions. Yeah, the contacts feature would be nice to have, but in my own opinion, I would rather not have a UI bulkier than the stock one residing in memory for a couple extra features.

Also, I understand that the SGSII is a little better than the G2x. I have a family to support on a military income so I don't have a whole lot of disposable income. I don't just buy phones when new ones come out because that $100 or so difference between selling my old phone and buying the new one could go towards higher prioritized things in my personal budget. I'm sure that is affecting my answer.

If you have the money, why not? I just think if you keep this mentality up you'll be buying a new phone every 6 months. I prefer to run my contract out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:

We all know SGS2 WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER be released on T-Mobile, don't you know that???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I agree and didn't mean to come across as an authority. Face it, everything any of us knows comes from one of three sources:

1) First hand experience

2) Second hand knowledge

3) What we've heard or read

So, to your point, anything posted here is just discussion; especially when the sources are items 2 and 3. And even item 1 is sketchy because its based on individual expectations and opinion. I'm still trying to find the article that discussed the Hercules being an Infuse variant. It was in Danish so its harder to find. It was part of an interview with a Samsung exec talking about the challenges of keeping up with demand in case anyone else stumbles on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheSobadef:
The SGS2 isn't just a slight spec bump, it's exynos processor is significantly more powerful than the Tegra 2 Soc. This is clearly visible when rendering flash (only phone that can run 1080p youtube from the browser. The G2X caps at 480p and the Sensation caps at 720p)

Another thing to note is that tegra chokes when running most 720p video codes, so if you want a super multimedia phone, the Galaxy S 2 is the way to go!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
Great post. The hardware accelerated browser on the SGS2 really gives it an advantage over the g2x, especially in terms of flash playback in browser. To say Exynos is significantly better than Tegra 2 is false, the Mali gpu is better than tegra 2 in terms of flash performance and video playback but is worse for 3D gaming..... On the other hand my g2x overclocked to 1.55 ghz can handle 720p and some 1080p YouTube videos with ease. Things will improve when GB arrives.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
But neither phone has a 720p display so.... does this even matter?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The 3D gaming performance can only be seen in bench mark tests as either phone can handle any game out right now and months down the road with ease. Its just a matter of what's optimized and what's not. For instance. The Tetra GPU is more powerful than the Adreno on my Sensation but the game I play most (Home Run Battle 3D) is noticeabely smoother and looks better on my Sensation than my G2X. Angry Birds Rio is also noticeably smoother. On my G2X, the birds stutter a little when flying away but the I get no stutter when I play with my Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The memory soaked up by a custom UI on a phone with 1gb of RAM is slim to none. Its almost impossible to use all the available memory being that Android will close running processes automatically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Twice the RAM. Fair enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
A dev just found code and PNG logos for AT&T's LTE network in the leaked 2.3.4 ROM that's releasing this month. So it'll be an LTE phone when it launches on AT&T. AT&T's testing LTE in Texas and it pulled 28MB down/10MB up.
