BUMP

I played with the N9 recently, and found it to be very cool and well designed. The best part for me is the double tap to unlock. I wonder whether such thing could be developed for our HD2?

I would think no, since the N9 uses AMOLED which means that the whole screen could be active without using any power, and thus the screen would still be 'active'. Is there a way to do so with HD2? Maybe use the proximity sensor to register movement and turn screen on.

Any opinions?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Marvlesz:
I dont think such thing would be available. I doubt it.

Even if (somehow) it was available, it would be a huge battery consumer.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Robbie P:
people have had enough problems with the phone waking up in their pockets, sending texts, making calls, playing music and taking pictures all without you knowing. Even with the lockscreen password protected.

Making it easier to do this seems to me to be a bad idea;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mitchellvii:
I have been having an issue with dropped calls of late. Unfortunately, the more important the call, the more likely it is it will be dropped at the worst possible moment.

It seems like the call begins to degrade a bit and then blip, gone. I have an Airave and never had issues with my EVO 4G.

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] mitchellvii:
Geesh, this is getting out of control. That is 4 dropped calls in an hour :(.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajed:
1) When I connect my nook color to the USB cable, the ROM and the SD-Card don't get detected.

I tried once again to remove the card, boot Nook, then insert the SD-Card; then I connected the USB cable and the SD-Card got detected.

What's the problem?

2) When I connect through Nook's OS, the 8GB SD-Card appears to have 109MB Free of 115MB.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evaders99:
I can't help with the first one, but the second one - seems to be how the card is partitioned, it is only looking at the first partition.
[General Questions and Answers] Steve.G:
So every time I wipe my phone to install a new rom, I have to log in/set up probably 15 apps. Filling in login and password for each can take some serious time. Over the weekend I flashed a custom rom and it wasn't until a few hours passed that I remembered to set my work email back up. What are others doing to handle all these logins and such?

I have Titanium backup, though I am a little fuzzy on if restoring app data is safe/effective when switching roms to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Especially so that I did a full backup when I was on stock firmware and now many of the apps from the stock firmware are no longer on my phone.

So to summarize, I need a quick(ish) way to get re-connected to my life once I've done a clear data/cache and flashed a new rom.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreanschoolkid:
I am using a stock rom 16gig 10.1 unrooted but have had an issue where each time I use the keyboard dock and then attempt to plug in the usb adapter to the keyboard dock the keyboard ceases to function until I unplug and then plug back in.

I wish to use the keyboard dock's 30pin to play media off of a usb stick but this currently impossible. I have tried plugging in the usb adapter with no device, powered usb hub but still have had no luck.

The adapter does work very well when plugged directly to the tab however and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue?

If the question was already answered please send me a link to the relevant thread and sorry in advance if I missed it.

I clearly made a mistake buying a German Galaxy Tab (DBT) last year because it seems to be a very low priority market for Samsung since they do not even have a working homepage and have not yet released any upgrades to Gingerbread. In Sweden were I live with 1/10 of the population the service is working much better!

Q: Can I send my SGT to Samsung.se and get a NEE firmware?

I just bought an Inspire and I can't connect to Att network. It shows the H+ and shows that Att is my Newtork Operator but it wont let change any of the settings or scan for other networks. I had a HD2 that was unlocked and work like a charm on the network but now it won't let me play with the settings. Do you think that I have an old data plan back in 2005 that was unlimited to my Sony Erricison?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigtoysrock:
Your data plan has to be 4g otherwise it won't connect to the data. You can keep unlimited also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
The H+ usually means that you are connected to the data network. Are you sure it isn't a H with a check mark? Which means that you aren't connected to the network. To use the default APN settings you have to be on a "4G" plan, like the previous poster said. You can always add an APN to the list and use it as well. I had this issue when I first got my Inspire. Try these settings.

Hi peeps,

I wanted to share an experience to those wondering.

Iv'e been to the beach with Girlfriend + 2 friends for an overnight in the weekend with tents and all.

When we got to the beach it became dark and we had no light.

I decided to put the SGS2 Led to the test and use it for as long as battery would permit.

I used it for about 3.5~ Hours till phone went dead.

I am happy to say, it wasn't even hot, and when i recharged the phone the led was perfectly fine. Gave me a little scare when it just went off.

I strapped the phone to a high pole with some rope and it provided lots of light for comfortable feasting! (Food!!!).

I don't know if all leds will tolerate such abuse :)

But mine did.

Cheers,

Eitam.
[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
I'm pretty sure it will reduce the life expectancy of led flashlight though.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Cheers for this! I seriously fear when I leave mine on for more than like 10 seconds... :o NOT anymore :p
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You will be the first one who would need an extra LED for replacement, lol. Thanks for sharing the info anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Test the camera if its glass is not deformed. Just to be sure. Interesting though .. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] MeanWoman:
Wow, thats definitely good to know. I plan to use the flash as a flash light from time to time but not as much as 3.5 hours lol
[Galaxy S II General] kawa636r:
Do you know how much long it's the life of a led?????

I think that 5 years always on and the led will be full functional....!
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Can someone confirm the above statement? I know MANY are very hesitant to use 'flashlight' apps for this very reason.
[Galaxy S II General] crm4:
Typical life of a led is 50 000 hours, roughly 5 years as stated above. Much longer then you will ever need on a phone :-)
[Galaxy S II General] dune2k:
German Wikipedia says that modern Hi-Power LEDs (I guess one of those is used for the flash) will have all of their brightness for 15000 to 30000 hours. That'd be ~2 to ~3.5 years of continuous use.

After that time they will still work but won't be as bright.

So: Unless for heat reasons, which can be easily checked, go ahead and use the LED-flash as a flashlight!
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
As long as it would last the 1.5 Years I'm planning on keeping the SGS2, i'm fine with it.

Whoever's buying the phone from me 2nd hand will have to deal with the led when/if it fails. Not MY problem, and he will be paying cheap for the phone anyway.

I seriously think they should make the LED an easy replaceable module (if it's not) so we could use it freely and replace it when it dies. I'd pay 50$ to get it replaced even if I had to do it every 5 months...
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
Does this look deformed to you? :)
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Assumed the LED on your phone is no where remotely defective then your LED would probably outlast all other parts of your phone, Im more worried about the screen on time. What app did you use 3.5hrs seems a little to low.. maybe the screen was also on during that time ?
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
intresting.. but i wud never do that..cheaper to get/buy a flash light.. using the sgs2 as one ..dats quite an expensive risk (~$800) ..

plus leds also lose their life expectancy ..the same way as any other bulbs/light does.. the more u use the more its lifes gets short

anyway well done.. i would be scared to do it and thanks as it gives us some infor that sgs2 is built pretty well
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
I used a widget called "Flashlight" hehe.

And the screen was OFF the whole time, But I had everything else on, 3g/sync/bt/gmail/whatsapp/lookout

I think I haven't started using it from 100% maybe it was around 70% or so.
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
I was playing a gig the other week and something didn't seem right. I had actually just installed the flashlight app that day and it came in handy. Shining really bright down below it showed me where a drum skin had broken on the bass drum. Only needed to keep the light on for a minute or two here and there. Didn't sap the battery too much. Everything is ok in moderation. Not sure I'd want my phone anywhere near sand on a beach though.
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
Well, I understand you.

But my phone has SGP Black Soul Case and Screen Protector so, the chances of scratch are very little.

About the light, I have always used the light for like 10-15 minutes at night to do all sort of stuff without turning on the light and waking girlfriend up, never had any problems.

The 3.5 Hours was a one timer, and I am happy to still have a working led.

I was taking a chance and I know it :)

If i'd had a headlamp or so I wouldn't have needed it.
[Galaxy S II General] mitchell.tamsett2:
Thanks for tip! I actually forgot you could even use that as a flashlight :D

I do agree that in small drips and drabs, it would be fine. Anything too lengthy and repeated would wear down the LED.
[Galaxy S II General] IILaryII:
To use the LED as a flashlight is okay, because in the "normal" mode, it is not used with 100% of the power it can provide.

When you capture a picture with flash enabled, you can see, that the actual flash is much brighter. This is 100% power. And if you use the led with 100% you need a heatsink, or it will reduce the lifetime of the led extremly, up to damageing it.

As long as it is used i normal mode, it is not overheating or anything else. The short 100% power usage with the camera is okay too, because it does not heat up that much in that short moment.

Sorry for my bad english, but I think you get the idea ;)
[Galaxy S II General] MeanWoman:
How do I make sure its in normal mode?
[Galaxy S II General] IILaryII:
The actual torchapps, cant use the led with 100%

You see what 100% is, when you take a photo. The Flash is 100%

Before the flash, that is the same brightness as the torchapps use
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Firstly, it's a PHONE. Not the life line to your soul! LOL. Use it how ever you want. Yes, the life gets shorter with more use, hmm... The battery does too! Hmm... The screen does too!! Would you recommend then not turning on the screen whenever you're bored and not play a game or check whatever to extend your phone's life? I change phones frequently. This is my 3rd phone this year. I love this one, A LOT but I doubt most of us will use it for 3 years with the flashlight on continuously to kill it or dim it. So... use it for whatever you need it for! That's that! It's just an object. An expensive one, yes, but still, it's a tool made to serve us :)
[Galaxy S II General] JavyC89:
:O

When I use the LED as a flashlight for more that 5 minutes or so..

I fell my phone a little hot..

Umm.. :/
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
I love this well said mate :-)
[Galaxy S II General] LuffyPSP:
This ^^

:D

my pattern, once a year. maybe i'll keep this one since i love it so much so i'll just buy a new one next year and use this as 2nd phone. :p
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
The led is still working if you guys were curious :)

And I keep using it lots.

I am now very comfortable leaving it on for long periods.

Also I disabled sounds for e-mails, and I use Tasker to blink the led when new email arrives ;)
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
And another follow up, the led is still working like new. I compared it's strength to a new sgs2 led and it's on par.
[Galaxy S II General] mirer:
I'm using a flash light almost every day since October for about 20 min and everything is still ok
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
People, get real! It's a freakin' led. You won't see the day when the LED will not work because you used it too much. Your phone will be at the landfill for several years already!

I used my LED from my 7 years old SE k750 sometimes for hours, the LED is flashing everyday for the missed calls, and is still working like in the first day.
[Galaxy S II General] kabecilhas:
Hi.

Well, I normaly use mine all days and about 10 or 15min. with the Tiny Flashlight app and my led, the glass, etc... is all good!

And don't underheat!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
The flash on the SII seems to get quite hot quite fast, once I used the heart rate monitor app and my finger got extremely hot.Never used the flash as a torch on the SII longer than a minute or two because of this.Although on my Incredible S I've used the flash for a lot longer periods.

But I guess the flash on the SII is quite durable so I shouldn't have any problems using it as a flashlight.

Thanks for the info!
[Galaxy S II General] :
thanks for sharing. i too wondered how long the led would last. ive had mine turn on for about half an hour max till now. good to know.
[Galaxy S II General] redzion:
I did use once my LED for aprox. 1 hour.. no problem before and after that with my LED.. plus I use my LED very often for about 10-15 min and all is fine so don't be scared to use LED as your only light in the darkness ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Fokas.:
I left mine on all night once while plugged in.. Fell asleep

Camera now loudly buzzes and phone gets extremely hot at the majority of times
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
For the less-than-math-inclined:

1 day = 24 hours

1 year = 8,760 hours

Whether you believe the 15k, 30, or 50k hour numbers, it looks like the LED would have to be on a minimum of 2 years continuously to go out.
[Galaxy S II General] jzmtl:
LED doesn't just die like light bulbs, the phosphor degrade with use just like the screen on GS2 (which is basically LED with organic phosphor) and gets darker with use.
[Galaxy S II General] Mario1968:
Excuse my question, the display of our S2 will became darker with use? And if yes what is the time estimated for the degrade?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] jontr:
I am quite sure, that by the time you notice the darker colors on your SGS2 display, you will be using SGS5 ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
The OLED pixels in a modern OLED screen are rated anywhere from 40k-100k hours of use. That's 4.5-11.5 YEARS of CONTINUOUS use. Cut it in half for half brightness. Again, this is NEVER turning the screen off.

You'll get plenty of use out of it.
[Galaxy S II General] arovik:
I don't really see you concern.

Taken from Wikipedia: "Typical lifetimes quoted are 25,000 to 100,000 hours"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

Why is this thread even started? The LED will not die as long as you have your phone!
[Galaxy S II General] axko:
My led turns off when my screen times out so I gotta keep touching the screen to keep the phone awake. Is this an ICS problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] benb70:
I've noticed my Transformer's battery being drained when closed (and docked), and every time I change the wifi disconnect policy to "When screen turns off", as soon as I exit the settings it goes back to never. Does anybody know how to keep it at "When screen turns off", or why it changes back (maybe an app)? If it is an app, I would love to see an update from Asus that established a hierarchy where user settings overruled apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
It seems to be a bug. I have a similar problem. Though set to "never switch off WiFi" the connection is lost, when the screen is off for several minutes. Switching airplane mode on and off reconnects WiFi afterwards.

BTW, I use the TF without dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Residium2:
might not be the best sollution as it costs money, but I use the app "tasker"

I have set a rule, that 5min after the screen has turned off it turns WLAN and synchronisation off.

As soon as I have unlocked it it turns these back on.

Maybe the App JuiceDefender can do the same?

After seeing MeeGo video demonstrations on Nokia N9, only feature i miss in my HD2 Android is the Double tap on the screen to wake up/unlock.

I accept that the hardware buttons on the HD2 are good:rolleyes:, but still this feature and SWkey app/Zmooth app will eliminate use of hardware buttons.

I did ask that developers should try to build apps for this!
