[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
For the last few days my mails are not syncing anymore. I had 1 gmail account, 2 yahoo accounts and 1 hotmail account added in social hub, all of them premium. I noticed that when i checked the email accounts a pop-up appeared saying: invalid username or password, but the info is correct cause i also have messengers added and they work and even though my incoming mails don't synchronize anymore, i can send emails from those accounts just fine. I tried to delete data from Samsung Hub and adding accounts again, but still the same problem. Mails don't sync and in short time after adding the accounts i get the annoying pop-up: invalid username or password. Anyone encountered this strange problem and found a fix ? Meanwhile i'm using K9, but i like Social Hub more.

not sure about the air rave problem since I don't have one, but my battery life is much less on synergy than any aosp ROM mostly because of the power Sense needs to run. On Salvagemod, i would easily get over a 1.5 days on a charge, but I was thrilled yesterday with 11 hours on synergy rls1+godmode.

Also, have you been wiping your battery stats and conditioning your battery?

Hi

I have a Galaxy Tab wifi 10.1.

All of the sudden the dreaded newton rings / oil slick on the scree appeared.

Im in th complicated situation of a US device but being in the uk.

Yesterday Samsung UK gave me a service number and told me to send for repair.

Strangely - this morning as I was taken the tab out of the cover - I pressed on a point around the camera area and the rings disappeared!

However I noticed I can make them re-appear just by pressing on the opposite side.

Should I still send in to Samsung? What do you reckon?

Is it a design flaw which I will get with anything they might do - or would you think it is going to get repaired?

Thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
I'd send it in for repair anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ghislandi:

Sent it today...

will see the experiment

1) If Samsung UK will repair a US device

2) If they can resolve the newton rings

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mullerpr:
Hi there,*

It seems as if the tab deform, ever so slightly, in a concave fashion, which has to be rectified to desolve the "oil spill". Personally I think my tab was slightly bent concave by my Galaxy Tab branded "book cover" I bought from a Samsung dealer. (... google SGT 10.1 accessories "book cover")

I now have a permanent solution by simply adding a small piece of rubber to the top middle inside of my "book cover" that force my tab in a slightly convex shape. This immediately remove any "oil spill" and preventing any to form at any normal operating temperature. When I use my tab without the "book cover" the required shape is maintained and "oil spills" does not form, permanently that is.

Because I now know the reason for the "oil spill" / "Newton's ring" I am of the opinion that it is caused by concave deformation and not tempetature, prevent this and there will be no spills.

Is this an issue that Samsung should adress? I think so...*

All the best from Sunny South Africa.

I think it's not a big issue but i still angry with SS, can't believe that :(. I still got the newton ring but can't return it to SS for RMA. :(:(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Pathfinder81:
Are you kidding me? the trick totally worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Does it affect your use of the tab? I mean, can you see it when the tab is turned on? If so, return it. If not, well, kind of up to you whether the hassle is worth it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pkoper:
If it is big enough yes.

Especially on very light or very dark backgrounds you can see it.

So while reading ebooks, webpages etc. you can tell the rings are there because the colour distorts.

On dark backgrounds, lets say a black homescreen the LCD is kind of more sensetive to touch. If you press to hard on an LCD you get the funny colour thing happening. This happens right underneath the rings with a relatively light press. So when I would flick screens I would get nice plasma effects that were the exact size of my rings. Rest of the screen was not affected.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] amaurici:
What you mean top middle? Near to the rear camera?

How thick is the rubber piece?

Could you post a photo?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
I used your method to keep the rings from showing up after I did the method below to get rid of it first.

Thanks, got rid of mine. Then did the above quote to keep my Vipertek from causing the ring from coming back. I used a Post It note and folded it like 5times and stuck it in the middle a little bit below the camera.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] keirmccann:
i am literallt on my fourth tab from pcworld, all suffer from it some worse than others, each time i return it i get 21 days warranty to return to base. Im the only one to have taken it back to my store and he claims if i keep coming back it will be pulled from the shelf. Great device, frustrating fault especially during movies
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Had the rings for a few days now, and I really can't figure out what the fuss is, but maybe mine is different. On mine it's a streak across the middle, about 3" by 1". I can see it fine when the tab is off. But when I turn the tab on I can't see it unless I put the tab at a funny angle or really search for it. The distortion is only visible on a fully white screen; even when I'm reading an ebook I can't see it without consciously searching.

I'm not sure I'm going to do anything about it. The GT10 is the best tab on the market, and will be for the foreseeable future. Anyone know what happens when you send it in for repair? Do they send you a refurb, or do they fix the device you sent in (in th U.S.). I have an expensive skin on mine, so I don't want to lose that. Or has anyone gotten a brand-new device?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eddog4DROID:
It isn't a huge deal but it's the principle being it ain't a cheap item.

I returned mine. Got it back in 2.5 Weeks, repaired.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
There are only two reasons they'd deny your claim:

1) You purchased a Tab outside its intended country of sale.

2) You bought it from an unauthorized Samsung reseller and/or don't have proper proof of purchase.

This is and has been their global warranty policy for a long time. There are plenty of stories of people buying Samsung devices second hand or off eBay and having their warranty claims denied but no case of anyone meeting Samsung's purchase requirements being denied service. Plenty of SGS2s used in the U.S. but purchased (legitimately) in the UK have been repaired there under warranty.

While I'm sure you're offended by whatever's transpired, repeating the same terse post in multiple threads isn't going to help you. Nor can anyone here.

I returned mine (Samsung Dubai) and got it back next day. They've changed the screen witha new one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shaolinx:
after intensive use, and the device getting hot, the rings went away
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fraz82:
ok guys, so i had this problem pop up a few months after i bougt it, so last week i spoke to the customer service rep and they mailed me a prepaid ups label, i mailed it to texas, 4 days later its back on my door step.

My impressions:

1. They definitely changed the screen, the new screen has a slight texture underneath the glass, that isnt noticeable until you look really really hard.

2. The screen brightness, quality is unchanged.

3. The screen now has a dark grey samsung label on the bezel, my tab didnt have the label before.

4. The tab feels a lot more solid than it did before, not that it wasnt solid before, but there was always a very very slight creak when you handled it, especially at the back. It feels like everything is really really tightened now, feels a lot more dense.its a good thing.

5. I cant seem to produce the newton rings now, before they would appear temporarily when i applied slight pressure to the screen, or when i rubbed the screen to remove fingerprints, but now that doesnt happen. The glass feels a little thicker.

6. Another slight difference, is the fingerprints dont seem to show as much as they did before. Its not a major difference, the screen is still a fingerprint magnet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ceejay83:
Fraz did you have to bump all the Newton ring threads? lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fraz82:
Yeah, sorry about that, but i wanted everyone to be updated. And there are newton ring threads everywhere! if there had been only one combined thread, wouldve made my life easier :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jöbi_1:
i had this rings one time, the cold airflow of my car air condition solved that. Newton ringfree since october :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wa3pnt:
I sent my Tab to Amazon for a Trade-In, and stated that I would only accept the "New Condition" amount as that is the condition the Tab is in. Amazon did not agree with the condition, and returned the Tab. When I received the Tab today I saw the dreaded Newton Rings. I did not have them when I shipped the Tab.

Literally, as I was reading this thread, the rings slowly shrank and then disappeared. I did a double take. Most probably the temperature changes, as it is extremely cold outside, and now the Tab is approaching a more moderate temperature.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bons2c:
As anyone in the UK sent theres back and how long did the whole process take. Am staying in a friends for a few weeks and just wanted to know if it its worth sending while am here or just wait till i get back home and send it then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gdmuscle:
Agree with Fraz82

I agree with Fraz, there is definately a change in the display. The original Tab I got back when they first started showing up at Bestbuy is totally different than the one I have now. The first tab was a white 16gb from Bestbuy in the US, GT7510 had original 3.1. It had somewhat a very flexible back not as stiff as you would like and had no SAMSUNG label on the front bezel. The tab actually had an unlocked bootloader until I was tricked to get the ota and boom it locked. I noticed the newton rings when the weather is warmer and or if I cleaned the back or just plain cleaned the tablet. Any pressure behind created the rings, which leaves me to believe its the flexing of the plastic and glass on the screen that creates it.

The second Tab a GT7500R Rogers 4G feels totally different. It's actually titanium grey at 16GB very sturdy build quality. This suprised me very much the screen seems somewhat different can't quite explain it seems like there is somekind of layer before the glass. The color and brightness is basically the same except when you try to push on the back or put pressure there is no newton rings. Also the back doesn't flex at all it's totally different in feel it has a textured brushed metallic look. The front bezel has the SAMSUNG logo and Gorilla Glass as well as a Simcard slot of course on top, I'm waiting patiently for their next one hopefully they go with an all metal one just leave the top part plastic for the Radio Antennas.

I'm not sure how to set this up but I think it would be a good idea to set up a ROM poll so we can all vote to say which ROM we're all using...the poll could be reset by the moderator maybe on a weekly basis?

What do you guys think?

I think that sounds like a pritty good idea. Will spark discussion regarding the different ROMS and why some people are tending to use certain ROMS over others that are out there. Same goes with modem files that people find useful...

The SGS2 is more than capable of running any game that is thrown at it.

But looking at the list of Xperia Play titles

now going to include Fifa12, Dead Space, Dark...the list is growing daily

Why does the SGS2 not get any of these, is it because the Xperia play has a better GPU ?
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
maybe xperia have bought exclusivity ?

The Play is a nearly dedicated games machine. The SGS2 is not.

[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
Sony Ericsson marketed the Xperia Play as a gaming machine so they're probably working to get more titles for it. It has nothing to do with power as the SGS2 is much more capable.
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Such a shame, the SGS2 has the best screen and size, with fantastic multi touch, yet Gameloft focus on first the Iphone, then Xperia play and then mainstream android, failing to commit to even update their latest games to the SGS2.

EA again focus mainly on Iphone and now quite a lot on Xperia Play, hardly any commitment to mainstream android and probably don't even know the SGS2 exists.

EDIT: uploaded the patch. Works for me. I've been testing all day with no problems. But, this needs further testing, and I need to double check my work with Necroscan whenever I get a chance to chat with him on irc.

Here is the hack for Stock EH06 ODEX. You need busybox to be installed in order for my install script to properly work.

1. Backup first.

2. Do Step 1 if you skipped it.

3. Seriously, backup. I am new at this and still trying to figure out if I did it all correctly.

4. Flash in CWM.

I used crawrj's "[Odin]Stock EH06 Odexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19" as the source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221253

Entirely based on Necrosan's original patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172576

NOTE: I did not modify Settings.apk, only framework.odex and services.odex. This means it will still say "Sprint Hotspot". This is just my preference to touch as little as possible.

well that's obviously because AT&T has crap coverage in rural areas. Same can be said about iPhone more likely to live in the city.

Actually, it says that iphone users are "more likely to say they lead," which I tend to believe. Studies have shown that "popular kids" and those who think they are trend-setters tend to be the biggest followers (copying what they see on TV, movies, ads, etc.). iPhone users believe they are leaders and trend-setters because they're doing what they see other popular people do, but clearly there's a difference between saying you're a leader and actually being one.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Yeah, I was going to come here and say that might also mean android users are just more likely to have multiple email addresses.

[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I suppose the take home message here is that android has come full circle. We here on XDA aren't your average android user anymore. The average android user is someone that went to best buy and figured "if I'm going to pay ____, I may as well get a smartphone."

In other words, this is really a testament to the extent that android has done away with the concept of "dumbphones," more than it is a statement about user differences.

This may as well be iPhone users vs the public.
