[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
Hi everyone!, I'm having this really odd issue with my S2. I've only had it about a week now and this could have been happening all along though I didn't notice it.

Basically If the screen is off and I hit the power button is has this really slight flicker as the screen comes on. It's almost like a single line down the screen right before the wallpaper appears. It's also right-justified on the screen and always in the same spot.

Has anyone else had this issue? It can be reproduced by simply hitting the power button to shut the screen off then hitting it again to turn it on.

Thanks!

Edit: Also the screen doesn't always fade on. 3/5 times it will just "instant-on" where I'll hit the power button and it will instantly show the lock screen tile instead of "fading" into it. Does this happen to anyone else or does it ALWAYS fade in?

I'm probably just being paranoid but I'd rather replace the phone quickly to avoid actually sending it to manufacturer.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarySnack:
You should take a video of it so we can see if it is normal. I don't see what you describe, and not sure the phone is supposed to "fade in" to the lock screen. Mine is always instant on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I once flashed to Litening ROM and it had that flicker (lightning style) as a feature I guess, is it the same problem OP stated?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Saw it once two days ago, vertically on the extreme left of the screen. Haven't seen it since, but it was very rapid - blink-and-you'll-miss-it job. Can't say it worries me. On Revolution FWIW.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
sorry I can't take a video since this is the only device that I own that is capable of taking video.

anyway, yeah - it's really quick. And it's vertically down the screen. I kind of assumed that it was the backlight turning on but I'm pretty certain that happens on the sides right?

Right now it's 10:00 and this issue happens right where the "1" is on the clock at the top of the screen. So starting from that 1 all the way to the bottom.

Again it's REALLY fast - but it's noticeable, I'd have no problem showing it to someone in front of me. It just looks like a single line about the same width as the "1" as well. It almost seems like the one tiny line is showing before the rest of the screen, like if the screen were a "loading process" that line would be the first thing to appear before the rest gets backlit.

Not sure if it matters but it's the model I9100M from Virgin, just incase they are made differently somehow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
This phone has no backlight. The LED's are all individually lit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Hmm, not the same problem as me - certainly nothing to do with the time here - it was in the afternoon when it happened with me, and my lockscreen clock's in 12 hour format. Clock's also at the bottom of my screen.

Been trying to reproduce it, and can't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
No no, I wasn't saying that the clock had anything to do with it, I was just trying to describe where the line appears on screen. I was also talking about the clock that appears at the very top, not the one on the lock screen. If I just continually tap the power button on and off I can see the "line" appear every time exactly in that spot.

It's pretty noticeable, unless you have the phone away from you - so if you don't see it then it probably isn't happening.

Does anyone think I should return this and get another? I don't really want to run into issues later and have to send to manufacturer. Is this problem big enough that I could get it replaced without issue?

Thank's for the replies!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Sorry, misunderstood. Definitely not my problem, I have no clock in the status bar.

If it happens every time, I'd probably return it if I was you - could be the precursor of something more serious.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryne:
Hi again, Thanks for the replies. I realized today that the issue is really only noticeable if you're in a dark room. Even in a semi-lit room it's almost unnoticeable which is probably why I hadnt seen it thus far.

If anyone wouldn't mind flicking the lights off and taking a look I'd appreciate it. If not I'll just return it.

thanks again forum!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirsebaer:
I experience it too (at least I think we are talking about the same thing)..it's like it's stuttering and lagging after being in standby. So the first time it renders the lockscreen, the first few frames seem to be rendered at a different pace. If you turn the screen on after a good break, it'll likely do it, but after a few times in a row it instantly shows the screen.

Perhaps it relates to how big the wallpaper for the lockscreen is. I'm not sure, but I've had some huge 2mb pictures set as wallpapers for the lockscreen, and afterwards I think I decided to select a smaller image. I don't know if it was just a placebo effect, but anyways..it still does it with my current picture. I don't really care. You could try a different lockscreen from android market and see if it helps, but I think every SII suffers from this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jekle:
I have this exact issue too and it really annoys me! I also bought the phone from Virgin if that is relevant. It's a white streak on the left of the screen for me and only happens every so often. So what's the prognosis? A software fault? Hopefully fixed in a subsequent firmware update? Or a hardware fault worth repairing?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianray14:
Hello astute folks on XDA!! My name is Brian and i'm a flash-a-holic. I'd like to share with you my experience that ultimately lead to me fubaring my beloved captivate.

I've flashed everything under the sun on this phone from roms to different kernels to modems. You name it, i flashed it with great success (after researching, never flashed on a whim.) UNTIL... Yesterday.. lol.. I was running a leaked 2.3.4 gingerbread rom and i noticed the problem first starting while trying to connect my phone to my computer via usb. The two didn't communicate when for the last 6 months, every single time i plugged in, my computer and phone recognized each other every single time. So that was my first clue that something aint right. Next thing i did was power the phone off. Went to turn it back on and NOOOOPPPEEEEE!!! Nothing!!!!! Held all three buttons and the little grey circular icon came on (the one that is initially in the battery icon when the phone is powered off but it's plugged in) but immediately shut off. Nothing turned my phone back on, but i was able to get into download mode. So thats what i did. I used odin3 oneclick to go back to stock eclair thinking that that will start everything all over, erase the bad/corrupt files and so forth. Flash was successful. Got back to stock eclair and got stuck in MTP initialization (you know, the screen in which you get if your debugging mode wasn't checked.) But it hung on that screen. No buttons would allow my to exit so, I pulled the battery. Then, the same damn thing.. I could NOT get the phone to power back on. Lesson learned for me. (today i learned that going back to stock is NOT a fresh install.) Used odin again, but this time unplugged my cord BEFORE i got to the eclair boot screen. As i'm peering at this home screen, i noticed that my USB connecting notification was flashing on, off, on, off yet my cord was unplugged. At this point i called tech AT&T tech support because i knew i was screwed. (i told them i tried to update to the 2.2 they provided on website and the phone cut out, lol).. I spent an hour on the phone and got no where other than determining that my phone is farked and they are gonna send me out a replacement (which will take 4 to 6 days) because luckily it was under warranty still. Tech support couldn't get my phone to turn on, but i could, lmao.. So... here i am stuck with a phone where usb debugging mode is buggin out!!!!!!! To wrap this story up, what i did was got back into download mode and flashed gingerbread bootloaders and a kernel and voila!! So long as i don't turn my phone off, i have a fully operational phone until my new cappy arrives in the mail in 4-6 days. (Dicks.. If i had been ordering a new phone, i'd have the option for next day shipping but thats another story.)

TLDR: Flashing too much will get you in a bad situation. Stick with a rom/modem/kernel setup that suits your needs because your next flash could be your last depending on the components in your phone.

EDIT: MAKE IT KNOWN THAT I HOLD NO ONE RESPONSIBLE OTHER THAN MYSELF FOR THE FUBARING OF MY CAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

Things break...and ppl make mistakes... I'm still trying to figure out which one happened in your situation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
That's a common hardware issue with the captivate. Happened to me twice. Its just the USB port spassing out thinking tthe cable is constantly getting plugged in and unplugged and freezing tthe phone with its craziness. Both times it was replaced under warranty. I'm paranoid it'll happen again now that I'm out of warranty.

Oops, my bad!! It needs to be somewhere as a precaution to those that think flashing is completely harmless

EDIT: upon further contemplation, it really is a question of what went wrong
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicool:
I am a flash addict as well :(

i have flashed all froyo based roms on my cappy !

Can anyone confirm that excessive flashing may risk my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Doubtful that excessive flashing had anything to do with this. Just be sure to do all necessary wipes and take all the required steps before you flash a rom and you SHOULD be okay. You are always taking a risk when you flash your phone regardless of how many times it has a positive outcome.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianray14:
I'm 99% sure my board failed because of cheap, unreliable components. However, that 1% is still in the back of my mind that it could have been from something I flashed. I suppose I'll never know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
It is hard to tell from what you say that it was purely hardware. Definitely sounds like the issue locked up the phone more then it did mine the two times I experienced it but it definitely wasn't performance friendly to me either. It seemed to settle down for,me intermittently then act up again. I never lived with it for too long since there's a warranty center i can do a walk in exchange at less than a mile from my house.

PS. I would flash stock jf6 then update via kies if possible before you send iit in to avoid being charged $500 for voiding the warranty. If kies wont work flash jf6 and find the jh7_ota.zip file floating around the forums to flash stock jh7 In cwm then remove cwm. There is a zip file that restores stock recover. I can provide these files if you can't find them not sure if they still have active dl links.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianray14:
As I started before, the phone is fully functional with gingerbread other than the occasional usb flickering..Only problem I have with it really is if I turn the phone off, it won't turn back on unless I hold power and volume up, enter cwm and then select reboot now.

Before I send it back, I'll odin back to jf6 first with oneclick. Without cwm on the phone, lol, it absolutely won't turn on by just using the power button. I made sure of this before I even called the warranty department and explained my dilemma :)

The nice thing is that I can use the phone while I wait fire the new one to arrive AND I can flash and experiment with everything now without worries!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaanhoot:
I am also a flash-o-holic and I think that if you flash with odin lots with repartition checked or are enabling/disabling voodoo lots, it can mess up your phone. Has happened to me twice, just sent my phone today for the second time. Both times this happened to me it happened when successfully flashing back to stock with 512.pit and repartition checked. On boot up it stalls at the "S" screen and never goes past it and in recovery I get some errors like:

error: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

error: can't mount sdcard

I flashed many different firmwares with different pit files and different android versions but all conclude the same, stuck at the "S" boot screen.

I have determined that the partition tables were messed up and I tried to fix it by putting parted on my phone and trying to repartition it from the shell. Both times I get the "unable to write to /dev/block/mmcblk0 - I/O error!" Also, from CWM Recovery I try repartition sdcard but it also comes up with an error. The last time I sent it into Samsung repair they had to replace the main board to get it working properly again. Think it is definitely a good idea to find a rom / kernel / modem you are happy with and stick with it for a while.

Also, it seems like latest kernel that gets built for CM7 for our phone has the audio changes there already.

So are you saying when I flash miui I should just keep the stock kernel? Or try and get the cm7 stock kernel?

[Android Themes] B-boy™:
This is the latest Google Voice app from the market but it's inverted.. the set up screens aren't but I think anyone that actually uses this app doesn't need to set up anything or hurries thru that part.. everything else should be inverted or transparent tho.. the transcript bubbles are white bg with darker text.. decalex and I tried to invert that also but I hadn't gotten it and wanted to release it so I made the bubble white with the same darker text... Enjoy!

MAKE A BACK UP PRIOR TO MODDING YOUR DEVICE.. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU OR YOUR PHONE..

Installation Instructions:

1. GoogleVoice is on the market so you need to check out where your's is installed to.. if it's in data/app, uninstall it from the manage apps in settings and install the signed apk I linked

2. If GV is in system, just uninstall it with Titanium Back up or root explorer and reboot... then install the signed apk.. I'm not doing update.zips for this apk for now.. just apk install since you can get GV from the market...

Download links:

Version 0.4.2.54 - Newest Version

1. http://bit.ly/BlackedOutGoogleVoice04254 Signed apk - Installs like a normal app, uninstall stock version first tho

Please link me to the other info in the froums on the g2x threads mentioning this, i hadnt come across them either.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think he is referring to the baseband update we received with the LG Gingerbread update, which wasn't to long ago (less then a month?).

While we got gingerbread officially and a baseband (from LG), the O2x just got a baseband.

The good thing is now we have a few basebands running around, maybe they can compare the two (coding wise) and pump out a true Dual 3G band like we were supposed to get.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
nope

maybe im wrong but i have never seen anyone modify a baseband. ive gotten leeks and such but i havent ever seen anyone actually modify a baseband.

has anyone seen this done?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Lets settle and end this silly (an dangerous) discussion ringht now.

The O2X and G2x basebands are TOTALLY incompatible! If you want to brick your phone with respect to being ever able to connect to a network - go ahead and flash an Ox2 baseband.

Paul at Modeco has been making Ox2 basebands available for flashing, as due to all the different carries over there, there are many available.

He made a script to restore the basebands of Ox2's that were messed up when some owners made the mistake of flashing G2x software on them (his "disaster recovery" tool). He HAS NOT created one for recovering a G2X from flashing Ox2 firmware and/or basebands on it.

I asked him to, but he apparently has moved totally away from the G2x. A tool like that could have saved a good number of devices (like mine) that could not otherwise be recovered from the LG Updater issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
The new baseband for the g2x has been amazing for me personally on gps. 95% of the time I lock within 15s. I did change my settings to tracking and ms based. And it helped get a lock in some places that didn't get one previously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
????

what are you settling. the poster and those discussing are quite aware tht basebands are not compatible with other devices. the OP was questioning simply due to the month newer date on the o2x one. so i dont think anyone was thinking about flashing it. He was just wondering if there may be newer one out there. than someone mentioned modifying the baseband which i stated i didnt think was possible or had ever been done. no one has answered that one for sure. But i havent seen it. ther is nothing silly about the discussion. probably worthless since there isnt a newer baseband available for the g2x at this time but what is sillly about this discussion?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burritoboy9984:
Ok, my wife got an NC and at first she loved it, then the more she started messing around with it, the more she noticed it would freeze occasionally here and there. I suggested going the custom rom route and overclocking, but before I started the process wanted to make sure a couple of things.

1. After reading it seems like if you want to run a custom rom, it MUST be run from the sd card? Is this correct? Or is it possible to run it from the emmc?

2. After installing custom roms, will she still be able to access her library? Can she re-download the stuff she had previously? I'm not sure how all this works yet tbh, lol... (I would assume yes, but we all know what assuming does :))

3. I saw something where people were install the custom rom to the sd, but still running the stock on the emmc, why?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

-Erik
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
1. False, I would reccomend running from the eemc if you won't miss the stock ui

2. I do not know as after I opened up my nook I installed cm7 to my eemc hopefully someone else can help you here

3. Eh, some people like the stock reading experience I guess. You could run stock from a SD card if you still want to keep it around.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
1.It's not necessary to run it in the emmc, but it is RECOMMENDED provided that you're willing to lose the STOCK ROM.

2.She can't access her library IF the custom ROM has been installed in the emmc, but if it was installed in the sd, she can. What she'll need to do is just boot the nook without the SD in it.

3.Yup. It's because theywant to retain being able to use the regular stock ROM, which of course has access to B&N's market for books and apps. But now, it's possible to install the stock ROM in the sd. :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burritoboy9984:
Ok, so if she wants access to her library she has to use the stock rom PERIOD, right? Any tips on making the stock rom freeze up less? Is it safe just rooting and overclocking the stock rom?

-Erik
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
YES. If the library's a MUST for her, then you can just root the stock rom (so you can install market apps) and flash dalingrin's kernel to overclock it (which would significantly speed up the nook and lessen freezes).
