[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
Ok guys thank you all for your experiences and thoughts!

I personnally am not so keen about these minor issues on the screen however i have 2 main issues; i'm planning to get a phone that will last long with me so:

- i've read somewhere about screen brightness deterioration with time and about dead pixels, so is there a risk that the screen will fail after 1 or 2 years of use?! (i mean the display not the touchscreen)

- any wifi or signal issues will be a deal breaker for me coz many places in my country have low signal already so that won't be good! Well i'll be buying the phone in open air :-s i dunno how can i try the wifi! And here i cant return it or replace coz these are unofficial dealers (official dealer get about 25% more the price!)

Edit: one more thing to add is the build quality! Usually on my HD2 or DHD i put them in my front pocket of my jeans and when moving or even sitting down i can feel it in my pocket easily. They are hard enough that not to be bent or anything, they are so stiff in hand!

Can i still do the same with SGS2?! I mean its weight and slim body make me "feel" that it might broke in my pocket!

Any personal experience on that?!

Anyone please? Coz i'll be making my decision today! 10x
[Galaxy S II General] robinthomas:
Go ahead and buy this phone, after buying dont go testing out these problems, just use the phone normaly as you do with any other, and you can do more on this than on couple of other phones, you will never be so happy using a phone, as i am today.

I use Nokia N900 as well.
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
-I think the risk of dead pixel isnt bigger than a LCD screen but who knows, ive specified in the thread how u can scan for them.

-The phone battery lasts long enough if you dont play with games to much.

- The brightness will deteriorate with time, to make it last long enough just do it like me and put it on automatic, and im positive it will last alot more than just 2 years.

-The wifi problem is a problem noticed in all my 3 phones, im sure its a problem with all phones, possibily it happens only to some routers but its there, dw about it.

-The build quality is acceptable, but im not sure how good is this "gorilla" glass as in my second one ive found 2 scratches which i cant explain at all since im very carefull with phones.

-Im not sure what to say about how hard it is, its made of plastic and no phone should be bent, but compared to less thinner phones this one is obviously weaker as its structure can support less weight.
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
updated thread with the camera issue, this one is really annoying i can see it easelly without having to take a picture, how do they not test the phone before releasing it lol...

with a software change this can be reverted, to be almost unoticeable but it will require image processing and that wont be simple for the phone to handle so i dont know how they will "patch" this one out.

PS: this issue is only noticed in low light conditions
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
ok guys so do i have all the problems with all phones in the list or am i missing some more?

I just got this yesterday. Both mine and the shop manager's phone have the exact same tint issue.

Mine has "yellow tint" issue too, but barely noticeable.

I am a new forum user and not allowed to post links from imageshack.. so I've uploaded it as an attachment.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Doesn't look as bad as this one...
[Galaxy S II General] peterperfect:
I dont have this problems either. phone is great and flying high with 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] ArjenGoed:
Well after many minutes of glaring at my screen, I've found the blue tint. You have to hold the phone at an extreme (and unusable) angle but it's there.

After closer inspection, I've also come to think this issue i caused by the glass rather than anything else. I'm curious if Samsung finds a way to update the glass composition in a future release. Now that would be something :P

My eyes have trouble finding the motion blur, as my eyes start to blur way before that. (software update or custom rom to fix that, anyone?)

The other issues are too minor for me to delve into, although heating did occur before moving to lite'ning rom.

[Galaxy S II General] dhouseng:
does the unit on the right becomes green tinted like the left unit when tilted?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It's not my pic so I have no idea.
[Galaxy S II General] ABC_Universal:
I had examined almost 10 GS2 in HK, all have slight blue (actually looks more green to me) tint when viewed at an angle. But it's barely noticeable except on large bright white background/image.
[Galaxy S II General] TheWarKeeper:
i had 2 of these, 1 looked like the left which was the display unit at the shop and mine, the display unit at the shop didnt have blues when tilting left or right but viewing directly it was clearly bluer than mine when it comes to whites.

I think the picture widget is called "Big Photo Frame". I have it, it's a paid app though. But judging from those pics, i think the user created 4 separate widgets (top pic) and manually selected the area for the frame to display because there's no way to do that automatically from the app.

Using Kyrillos v6.0 OC.

I am experiencing a rather greater battery drain almost 1% for every 5 minutes as compared to Non OC version.

A new found love for games i want to stick to the OC version. Please let me know the Setcpu settings and profiles i can use for a better battery without letting down on the performance.

It took me a great while to unfreeze my phone. Turned out the phone freezes at 1300 original setting.

Thanks In Advance :)
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
Try a lower value. eg @1120MHz
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Try lowering the MHz a bit or even better, try lowering the voltage for different frequencies. But in general, a phone at 800mhz+ is going to drain fast no matter what.
[Galaxy 3 General] palashisback:
use this settings

use setcpu or nofrills with the following settings

Ok I'm new with the whole rooting business. Done some searches but can't find a clear answer.

Currently on uk o2 s/w and not too fussed about rooting tbh. To get this latest 2.3.4 installed am I right in thinking that I 1st debrand and then flash it without rooting? Does that make any sense at all?

Will this void my warranty if I need to flash back to o2?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] mercm3:
I don't have much knowledge in anything electrical or charging mechanisms so I am trying to get a better understanding of the draining issue with tab and dock being connected.

I have a B50 tab and B50 dock. Dock currently drains at 1.75% per hour when connected to tab and in sleep mode(both were fully charged). Dock drains at 1.5%(both were fully charged) when connected to tab and tab is off.

Now if I understand correctly the dock is more like a charger rather then a extra battery, meaning it charges the tab battery as long as they are connected. So for the most part when I disconnect the 2 the tab is fully charged and the dock reflects the drain of the charging the tab.

Now when both are off I would assume it's fully up to the dock to insure the tab stays charged, since the tab is off my assumption is that the dock would use some of it's own battery just monitoring the state of the tab battery. Is that incorrect? I don't believe 1.5% per hour is acceptable in terms of drain

but wouldn't be feasible to lose say .5% while monitoring tab battery when both units are off?
[LG Revolution] Rabah218:
I've been reading a lot on these forums, and no one has seemed to address ways to improve battery life on the LG Revolution. I just got this phone a week ago and I've been averaging 13 to 14 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use (applications, e-mail, texting, etc...).

Anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the battery life besides rooting it?

Is it worth rooting it now with Gingerbread rumored on the way?

Thank you all in advance.
[LG Revolution] smalltank:
personally..GB isnt available with Verizon yet..I would look for any leaks or anything that isnt officially supported..unless you wanna try it..turn BT off..use wifi when you can..turn screen brightness to 50 on the bar..try to look for battery saving apps on the marketplace..just a thought
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
I just got the Decrapified Rom on mine today, and am seeing some decently better battery life.(i used to get ~12hours anyway with some heavy usage)

Also...when I rooted and customized SetCPU a bit I saw much better battery life. I was able to clock down the CPU when the screens off, or when the battery is low, etc.

Just some thoughts for you
[LG Revolution] swoosley:
This helps battery life? I always thought wifi drained battery. But your saying wifi drains less battery than 4G? What about 3G?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Check your apps as well. I was watching my battery drop a percentage in literally minutes. I thought it was just the phone, and that I had to live with it, but in my case it was Go Weather!!

This app is EXTREMELY bad - drains battery insanely, and even when you configure it, it keeps popping back up in the running apps and goes to town draining your battery.

Apps like that can make a somewhat average battery life turn into an insanely bad situation.
[LG Revolution] neags23:
13 to 14 hours with moderate to heavy use???

I'm lucky to get 10 hours without any use. I let it sit on a table overnight, and the next morning it was down to 28%.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
I've got Android on my NAND, but my HD2's touch screen no longer registers touch. The screen works, but the capacitive sensors don't. I switched to a 2 GB microSD card, and loaded LEOIMG.NBH from T-Mobile's website onto it onto the root directory, with nothing else on the card.

Then I booted into the boot-loader, and it doesn't give me the option to flash the phone.

I need to return this to HTC for warrenty, and I don't know how to restore it.

Any help?

I restored the SD card to FAT32 and it still won't work....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cheech1976:
Hello there,

you have to install stock WinMo Rom, check this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623283

This however is from the EU HD2 forum, if you have a TMOUS HD2, please check tha according forum for stock WinMo Roms.

To flash this, you have to boot in the HSPL boot loader (by pushing volume down) and then connect via USB and flash the stock WinMo Rom by executing the file you will have downloaded :D

Just to be on the safe side, please be advised, that this procedure will delete everything down to HSPL, which however will be necessary, as you are returning your phone for repairs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
Awesome. For some reason, I was never able to do that before. I figured out that it was the USB cable that I bought off Ebay that wouldn't allow it to transfer data, but instead only charge.

I was attempting to flash it from SD card.

Now it has Windows Mobile 6.5 on it, but when I boot into BOOT LOADER, it says Cotulla HSPL still on it. Is there a way to remove this? So that it's not "VOIDED WARRENTY" for HTC?

I FIGURED IT OUT. THANK YOU.

I've got a screen protector and had to replace it twice. I've still got a small bubble in the top of it, but I can live with it since it's above the screen and by the speaker.

I also got an extended battery since I wasn't making it through a day with the stock battery. It's a 3000 mAh and easily lasts me all day and I actually prefer the extra width since I find it's easier to hold the phone and the back that it came with is rougher than the stock back so the phone doesn't slide out of my pocket like it used to.

is your power button sunk in on one side ?
[Thunderbolt General] RockyCJC:
I haven't experienced this issue (yet) but I've heard of it happening to others. To make a few suggestions on how not to use the power button as much:

Download a widget that will reboot your phone from your home screen

Download a widget to shut down your phone

Set the screen timeout to a short length so that after inactive use for a short period, the screen will shut itself off

If you go this route, you should avoid having to use the power button as much.
