[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Yeah, the question is why anybody want worse resolution in a lcd.

As far as I know, lcds are optimized to native resolution, and using other doesn't offer the same quality.
[LG Optimus Black] knoxious:
It's supposed to make your LCD look better.

I've tried it on Wildfire before, it does help a little if your screen res is really low.

But on OB, i think it's already good enough.
[LG Optimus Black] NicoBD:
I've set my resolution from 240 to 170 because I needed 6 lines and rows on my launcher an I really don't like the huge icons an fonts on 240 resolution :)

Help Please

I seem to have bricked my phone after changing my density too. How were you able to recover. When the device is on, it doesn't recognize correctly in Windows. I can't seem to boot into recovery. Not able to view device as a hard drive. Any advice? Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] maliyose:
I'm using 200 on Zeus right now, font and icon is too big on 240
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
Use lcd density modder pro from play.

I'm using the pro version because Google play would have compatibility issues if i wouldn't :what:

So if you want to change use that one :)

Hello,

Is there a way to reload the homescreen in sense via terminal command?

I have noticed that after titanium backup pro (3.8.9.2) performs a backup that it seems to reload sense... however I have noticed lately that upon reload the home screen is garbled up ( especially the bottom portion that shows (the up arrow for apps, phone, and the + icon)

am I alone?

qu1nn
[EVO 4G General] studentjunk:
Backup programs can't backup sense widgets. Only shortcuts. The exception is htc widgets sometimes work OK. forget why this is the case, but it has been explained somewhere on the forum before. Some technical stuff.

If you are talking about the Rosie (the bottom row of icons that has the dailer, all apps, and the plus sign), then that is a different story. That should be fine with all backup programs.

People recommend only restoring all missing apps. I restore missing apps, and only a few of the system apps (call logs, sms, alarms, bookmarks, etc). I usually restore sense too, and I don't have problems.
[EVO 4G General] qu1nn:
this "garbling" only seems to occur after a backup occurs and goes away with rebooting the phone.... so it doesnt appear that I would need to restore something from a backup.

That is why I was wondering if there was a way to restart the user interface in terminal instead of having to wait for the shutdown/reboot process.

also I just downloaded the latest titanium update, maybe this will help... find out in a couple of days...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandwiches:
Hi, i've recently been trying out the mango OS on my LG E900, seems great so far but I've got a couple of queries.

First of all the status bar at the top, showing phone signal, 3g, battery life etc, how do I get that to stay at the top all the time?

Bing maps/turn by turn nav. Why do I have to constantly tap the screen to wake it? Also when it needs to re-calculate the route I have to tap the screen. Isn't there an auto setting? Seems bizarre that I have to take my eye off the road to wake the nav up.

In settings > application > 'phone' it shows my old phone number before my new one was ported across. Can I edit this in the registry? There is no edit option that I can see.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey_boy:
I believe the answer to that is, you can't :o

I think this is a known limitation at the moment.

I believe this is to do with your SIM card. The phone is simply displaying the number being presented to it by your SIM. I may be wrong there though.

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
You cannot. Windows Phone 7 was designed to only display that information when necessary.

Odd, if I am using navigation the screen will stay on for me and won't turn off. I think this is a bug that should be fixed because I've seen other people state this is happening to them too.

As for the phone auto-recalculating, there is no auto setting, and it's not a 'known limitation' but rather, by design. Hopefully they add an auto-recalculate option someday.

Your phone should automatically update your phone number after some time. While your new number takes effect immediately on your carrier's network, it can sometimes take time for your phone to reflect the change.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy.WP7:
This "tap the screen" exercise has - as far as I know - legal reasons. Microsoft only got the right to use the Navteq map under the condition that they would not provide a fully automated turn by turn app. MS' work around is that they do offer turn by turn navigation, but since you have to tap the screen to make it advance to the next turn, it is not "fully automated".

Since Navteq is fully owned by Nokia and since Nokia and MS have partnered, one can hope that this stupid restriction will go away eventually.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
You can't, sorry

It's very stupid limitation
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stryker09:
Yep the turn by turn navi limitation is known and isn't OS limited. Its actually a licensing limitation. Some searching will bring up deeper legal reasons as stated above. And just get the Turn by Turn Navigation app. Its well sweet (and worth the $4.99) even in trial mode.
[Surround General] Laquox:
Greetings I know many are aware that sometimes when going through the update process the surround sometimes gets stuck with the 16bit banding issue.

Well like many people I went hunting for an answer. There is of course a thread filled with lots of people saying this trick worked or didn't work, etc. However something unique for the surround that solves the problem is instead of changing the value to 32 (which will still show banding) change the value to 24 instead. This completely fixes the banding issue (at least until next update.)

You will need to be unlocked and have the ability to use a registry editor

These are the values to change:

HKLM\Drivers\Display\Primary\PrimBPP dword 24
HKLM\Drivers\Display\Primary\bpp dword 24
HKLM\Drivers\Display\Primary\PanelBPP dword 24

One thing I would like is if someone who has a Surround could post the exact default values from a 7004 version. I really don't want to reflash mine just to find out and the 24/24/24 works perfectly, removes the banding, and I have noticed no red screen or slow down issue.

and yet... here, in this thread it said those in option A are supposed to be for (UK/France/Italy/Spain) ?? :eek: :confused:

and USA are in option B ??

and now today... there are new reports out that reads like this for USA....

I think they started out as a mess and it snowballed from there and they couldn't get it together (organized )... I don't think the day will comes when we just have 3 updates that covered the whole World like the PDF indicated... ( Option A, B, C )... yeah right... what a joke ! :rolleyes::eek:

[Galaxy S II General] pixate:
I ask this, as I struggle to accept that having paid £500 for a phone, it should give me so much trouble. Here are some of the bugs I have with this phone -

Galaxy s2 specific -

1. Random crashing and subsequent battery drain.

2. Ongoing battery drain from full to empty in under 5 hours! (although better with KE7)

3. Stock application crashing (email app, music app)

4. phone lockup requiring the battery to be removed to boot it again.

I defected from an Iphone expecting a refreshing user experience with a high spec android phone, and it's let me down on so many levels (not all due to the phone, some are android generic.) Some of my main gripes beyond the bugs above are -

1. The sound quality is terrible, it has the dynamic range of a very cheap mp3 player. Having used it through studio monitors, high end Sennheiser headphones and component car audio it really does perform very badly. (Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to clear their ears out or expand their musical choices beyond R&B, Dance or chart music.)

2. The android apps and app store is miles behind the iphone store and app quality (event the cross platform apps are inferior on android).

3. Everyone goes on about how fast this phone is, but there is very little available which shows it off, even BBC iplayer stutters frames on the s2, an app which is installed as standard!

As a phone for daily business and personal use it really needs some work to make it worth the money. This is the same price as a sim free iphone 4, so should be similar in terms of quality, stability and reliability

By the way, I'm a genuine user who has owned this phone since it's launch in the UK, and use it daily. Not a troll, just a disgruntled user, who has got passed all the hype and feels let down by the experience!
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
Mine is totally fit for purpose - not a single freeze or reboot in the 2 months I've had it, the battery is fine for my use.

It could just be that you got a bad unit - if it had been me, I would returned it for an exchange rather quickly. I guess given that you've had it a while, an exchange might be a bit more difficult to get so you could try a factory reset (back up your data first unless you want to set everything up from scratch) and see if it behaves, or you could speak to the shop/provider you got it from and have it looked at.

Edit: as for your other gripes, well maybe you might want to go back to an iphone if it is such an issue for you - I know there is a lot of side taking and "this phone vs that phone vs that other phone vs whatever"... the way I look at it is that the best phone is whichever one suits your needs :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Stop with all these negative threads:confused: the vast majority of people are very happyy with their GS2, if the OP reads up they will no doubt find a solution for any problems, i was only getting 17 hours out of my battery now im getting 25+ hours, and the sound is far from terrible, in fact im not having any of the issues the OP is having,maybe you are genuine but you have 5 posts and you mention coming from an iPhone and how your "dissapointed" with your GS2 so people will likely think your an Apple Fanboy/troll.
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Im on my second SGS2 since the first was stolen. With the first everything went smooth and i had a very good battery life. Then i got a new one to replace the stolen and my battery was very good until i installed theft aware 2. Boom i now occasionally have only 5 hours of battery life at night when i don't even use the phone. The phone gets very hot and i can see that the system is using 65% of the battery (lol should be what like 5%).

TL;DR Battery is good unless you install some crap from the market that kills the phone

However, i think you should run back to iPhone since it clearly is the best choice for you. I could not live without Go launcher, Go SMS and Go contacts or live wallpaper showing the weather at all times. I can't stand the limited that is the iPhone, but i think it would be 100% awesome for you.
[Galaxy S II General] pixate:
If you actually read my op you would see that the point I'm making is that for a £500 phone I shouldn't need to trawl forums to fix problems with the phone. On the point of "all these negative threads" Is that not enough of an indication that not everyone shares your happy view on the phone?

Isadora, your right I should have taken the unit back sooner, but it was fresh on the market, and I expected some teething issues, but 3 or 4 updates later (I lost count) the phone is no closer to being reliable for daily use. It's now too late to return it!
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Sounds like you may have a faulty unit with memory errors. Get it replaced or repaired. Happens with all devices, even fruit based ones..
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Factory reset bro! Sometimes all the patching slows the phone to crawl. Factory reset and be careful of what you install after that. If you take 3 mins after factory reset and install the free Go launcher, your life will be ****ing AWESOME after that and you will want to donate your left testicle to me for showing you the path!

Edit * unlike the fruit phone, Android is always better with launchers from market. That's what Android is all about anyways, it's for you to tweak it to the max. If you don't like personality then go with the iSheep bro!
[Galaxy S II General] pixate:
Thanks Buddy01 - I agree that there are some great apps out there, but they are great on any android phone, you don't need an s2 to enjoy them. It was the limited nature of the iphone which drew me to android, plus the feeling that the platform was maturing enough and taking a big enough market share to compete with apples offering. I don't think I'm being unfair to expect less grief from a premium phone like this! 'm Not running any crapware from the app store just standard apps, widget locker (only to get a half usable lock screen!) Go sms, and Spotify...
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
you should just stick with your iPhone mate as it appears that Android isn't for you,you would sell this phone no problem it's the biggest selling phone around right now.

I and many others are not having any of the problems you are having,maybe some people are unlucky,this is by far and away the best phone out there, however some people may have problems most of which by reading can be rectified.

Battery life on my phone now is excellent for a smartphone.
[Galaxy S II General] Bus Driver:
I also shifted from IPhone 4..and I must say there are a few things that the iPhone is better than the Sgs2..and I repeat.."a few"

Sorry to hear of your problems,except for the battery drain that you're facing,inthink the rest is something to do with your apps..maybe you should try a fresh install.

As for battery,I get up to 4 and half sometimes 5 hours of screen up time...depends on the usage,which to me is not bad..maybe the ip4 ups there a bit..

Anyhow,I'm totally satisfied and yes it fits my purpose..which are fast,stable and plenty of room to customize to my liking..which I couldn't do on the ip4..
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
If people want superior battery life be sure to root your phone (should be a pre-requisite) and freeze all the Samsung bloatware with Titanium Backup in particular Software Update.
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Now this is useful information since i too am running the latest version of widget locker and am thinking that could also be the cause of the battery drain i explained a few posts back. Does any one know if there is an app on the market that can accurately log what process is using the most of battery. Stock battery log is not good enough, we need to go deeper? :)
[Galaxy S II General] pixate:
I agree, and I love the flexibility of the android platform, being able to change what you like is great, and I'm very happy with the app choices so far (gosms, gingerbread keyboard, widget locker) but it's the generic stuff I'm having issues with.
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
It's still nonetheless under warranty - my advice would be to get it looked at and make a fuss if necessary :p
[Galaxy S II General] pixate:
I don't want much battery life... Just a full day with light use would be nice!

I'm cautious of rooting the phone, until I know that my issues are software not hardware, I don't want the finger of blame coming back on me for messing about with the rom.
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
I would honestly want to hear what those few things are? I don't doubt, but i am genuinely interested to know since i have not found a single thing that is better on the iPhone. I also don't want to nor won't start any silly platform wars, but would really really want to know tho.
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
I'm running the latest widget locker too and don't have any unexplained or excessive battery drain....
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Im really thinking it could be the widget locker. since a full day with light use is no problem to SGS2. I had 2 days on the stolen SGS2, but for some reason the replacement has started to act up and i also have the widget locker installed! Or then it's GO SMS, since i have that too. Or then theft aware, but i know you don't have that one.
