[Galaxy S II General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Hi I just bought a new sgs2.

And compared to my friend's one, it has yellowish tint (for all screen not just a part of the screen)

Don't have warranty and stuff. Is there like an app to change screen temperature?

(voodoo colour maybe?)

Coming from sgs1 user, I can't really say s-amoled is better :(

Anyone with yellow tint screen, please give me an advice...

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
already did. they refer to yellow tint on the side only.
[Galaxy S II General] stijnr:
I have the same issue. My previous sgs2 had a yellow tint on the left side. I send it for repair and got the screen replaced. Now my whole screen is more yellowish, while my previous phone was more blueish (warm vs cold tint). I'm on KG1 now. The yellow left side is as good as gone though.

On 100% brightness the whites are really white, but below 60% the white and grey turn yellow.

I've searched for an app that allows you to change the color temperature but haven't found one. I've found a few that simply turn down brightness levels individually for R, G and B, but that doesn't work. Personally I'd like my phone's tint to be a bit cooler.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
On a yellow tinted phone, the whites only seem white till you compare it beside a phone with a higher color tone.. thats what I also experienced.
[Galaxy S II General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:

Is that being developed? I would be more than happy to donate a few bucks to anyone who can deliver such an app.
[Galaxy S II General] Albertotuchi:
Have you tried changing in settings, Screen the 3 different configurations it has?. Try the fist one, i think it has too many saturation but whites are whiter (at least for my sight).

Tried dynamic but it was too sharp for my taste.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginjamaka:
OK guys it might sound stupid but it really concerns me, we all know HD7 supports speeds upto 14.2Mbps download right.

I have a unlocked TMOUS branded HD7, while I know TMOUS is on AWS1700/2100 blah blah, even though the device itself has retained the UMTS 2100 apart of having the 1700/2100 AWS bands.HD7 has HSDPA speeds on AWS, now my question is does it have that on the UMTS 2100???

Where I live we have UMTS 2100, the phone gets the 3G network everything, cuz if it did not had the UMTS 2100 it would not even get the signal at all.

But DL speeds really sucks ass(srry for language) on UMTS2100 it can't go beyond 35KB/s.

If anyone has a good answer is highly appreciated.

Does anyone know if there are any apps that will let you fully customize the AutoBrightness?

By which I mean, setting up varying sets of:

Light detected between (min, max), Brightness set to ###

I think I saw somewhere that CM7 works this way, but is there any app that will do this for the stock build (rooted and unlocked)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Its not an autobrightness app but I have seen substancial improvements to my battery life using the SuperDim app, it does have save slots but you have to switch between them manually its not auto. Hope thats somewhat helpful.

Hi, firstly really sorry if this has been bought up before but i spent ages reading everything on these forums as well as on google, and I'm used to modding my old HD2 with new roms and radios ect so I'm not new to this.

However, i have just purchased an xperia arc off ebay, was told its unlocked, but infact is locked to tmobile :( Now i could just send it back, but is there possibly a way (an idiots guide) to unlocking my phone? all i want is for it to work on my vodafone sim card. If i have to pay then wheres best/most reliable place to go?

[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
We've lauded HTC and Sprint before for the way updates are handled on the EVO 3D, and it's time to do so again. There's a little update coming over the air now. One addition is a widget, the other is ... something. (Update: Ooo! New radio.) But that the EVO 3D can continue to get minor updates without causing major trouble is a pretty big deal. Nicely done.

Source:Android Central
[HTC EVO 3D] KedKaeDee:
Hmmmm when u get this notification?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i had to manually go under settings, system updates and tap htc software update to trigger the update.

seems to mainly just add a corp 4g widget .. and ppl claiming faster 4g speeds.

for some reason in midtown manhattan i dont get 4g signal where i'm at .. so personally haven't bene able to test.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
They say it has a new radio too
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
by new radio, i'm assuming you're referring to the real radio.img which was in the last large OTA. i don't think this OTA has a radio.img. the downloads were very small, as shown in the screenshots above. one for roughly 1-2 MBs and one for 100-200 KBs.

a radio.img would be rough 20+MBs in size and require a reboot to recovery/bootloader for it to properly installed.

this update did not require a reboot and installed very quickly. the update will probably have only put the two downloaded files into /data/app.
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
Yea I was reading more about that. I didn't update anything but if there isn't s radio then I don't need it. My service sucks here, my og EVO is a lot better when it cones to that.

I just opened my new Acer literally minutes ago. I signed in to Google and my wifi network. I received the notification for 3.1, had it download and install.

[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
What I would have done if I were in your position :

- take the tablet back for replacement if it is under warranty.

What I would have done myself :

- try to flash CWM with adb if you can connect or boot in recovery

- flash an alternative ROM and kernel

But such a tablet behaviour is no good :-(

Please, please, please. SBC kernel for Synergy?

I am tired of my 3500 battery running out after 18 hours, I was getting 60 hours from Warm 2.2 RLS5.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
SBC wont give you better battery usage, just an extra 10% when you wake up. I highly doubt your 18 will turn into 60 just because of SBC alone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
Warm 2.2 was a great rom.that rom gave me the best battery life I have ever had except for my current setup...I am on wifi once I got home but 8 fairly rough hours on 3g. The wake time shows I used it.

I did get better life w froyo though. I could get 40+ hours pretty regularly and half would be 3g. If I stayed on wifi I am sure I could get 60+ currently.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
Lithid, with all due respect, but I am on Synergy. When I charge my phone until the green light comes on, i unplug it and it drops from 100% to 80% in about an hour.

So I tested some things out. I ran battery clear dead and recharged, phone on, and then when the light turned green, I rebooted it and when it booted back up, battery monitor widget said I was at 79%.

Ran dead again about 12 hours. Recharged, phone off, until light turned green and turned on phone. BMW said 78%.

I am not very smart, but both times it took 2 hours exactly to recharge until light turned green. That is telling me that the phone has a timer, or shuts down charge at a certain voltage. It also tells me that it takes the same amount of time to charge my 3500 battery as my old stock 1500???. I call BS!

With SBC, it took 3 hours to fully charge my 1500, and almost 6 to charge my 3500. So what you stated above, makes no freaking sense to my stupid arse. Please re explain to me again how I was not getting 3 days of use before and only about 17 hours today with screen on time of 3 hours today....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
I don't know what you guys are doing to get such terrible battery life. I get 19-20 hours with moderate use out of the stock 1500 battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
So this morning, I unplugged at 9am from charger. I turned off everything that makes an EVO an EVO, like Background data, and sync so that it does not update any fb or email or anything without me doing it. I have had WiFi on since then and I have it set in Spare Parts to never while plugged so it will shut down when the screen is off. I also turned off Mobile network always on. so I now have a NON EVO, EVO. And at 5 hours, I have 71% battery left. That will get me to to about 17 hours of drain time. so far today I have 2 hours online with it. The 17 hours is purely estimate as I may go 5 hours later without picking it up. so I may be more like 24 hours on this charge cycle.

That is no where near what I was getting with SBC and RLS5 of 2.2. With Synergy, I am not expecting the same run time as before, but with SBC, I would definately be getting WAY MORE life out of battery. 2 days at least.

All I am saying is the the EVO without SBC, DOES NOT fully charge my 3500mA battery. PERIOD!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
I agree 100%. I wont use any sense 3.0. Gb rom until an SBC kernal is available. I myself wouldn't use it but my gf would. I'm a cm7 person and only use SBC cause I need every drop of battery life possible. Without SBC I get that initial drain and I wont sacrifice that. For me its safe and a must have and people can disagree with me all they want on the validity of SBC but I believe in it and won't change my mind. If I ever get time I might throw my hand in to creating a kernal but right now I'm working on my apps new release

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
update from Today on battery life. I am not at 13h 48min since unplug and BMW says I have 12% remaining and estimates that dead time is 1h05min.

Display time on is 78% and in time that is 5h 48 min.

Wifi on 9h, 8min. I had to make a trip to the grocery store and pharmacy. Dont know where the other 2 hours of time went that it should have been on, cause I did not turn it off.

Phone idle, 7h 55min

I would consider this a normal day. Only about 10 min of talk time. I got similar to this with Stock ROM and a 2600mA battery from Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If your battery is registering fully charged at 78%, then you must've wiped battery stats without a full charge or something. Charge it fully & then wipe battery stats. Let it drain completely, then charge it fully again. You should get better battery life after doing so.

I've seen in some people's wiping/flashing directions to wipe battery stats (or everything except the SD card), and that's incorrect. Don't wipe battery stats unless your battery is fully charged. Wiping at less than a full charge, or not following through with the conditioning directions, can mess with your battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
No, I did not wipe battery stats. How would I get fully charged if the phone will not let it fully charge??? That is my complaibt in the first place. It is NOT charging my 3500 battery anywhere near full charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
I was not talking about when your phone is fully charged. I'm saying your battery will still drop the same at 100% or 90% you said at 100% you can get 60 hours. But at 90% your only getting 18 hours or whatever... I was saying, doing that math it doesn't make sense. I also use the 3500 battery. No sbc and I charge to 100% not 78%
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
Gotta disagree with lithid here as well. If you watch the amps separate from the charging indicator, they keep going at max after the charge hits 100% and don't stop until it gets fully charged. For me the full charge without SBC is about 70% of the actual battery capacity
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
Lithid, I just ask that if you were to unplug your phone when your led turns green. Then do a full restart, BATTERY MONITOR WIDGET will show you your exact capacity charge and it will not be 100%.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
I also want to add....

Lithid, I totally appreciate your interest and I hope I have not offended you or my posts read like I dont care what you say. I try to be respectful, but sonetimes typing out things come across wrong to the reader. You have done some fantastic work for the EVO and I think you are first class for doing it.

You have also caused me to research things so I can learn what you are talking about so I dont come off as an idiot.

The only thing that is troubling me is that I freakin love Synergy. It drains my battery very quickly compared to 2.2. My hunch was that the stock kernel was the culprit. I tried golden monkey and freedom, same problem. I tried chop suey today. I am at 10%, so it is about the same as others. CSuey is a bunch quicker than the others for performance.

So I guess what it comes down to is this; I would just like to try an SBC kernel for Synergy just a. Couple of charge cycles to see if i still get the same endgame. If I still only get 18 to 24 hours of battery charge, I will be a non SBC guy forever. But no one is doing one, so I can not test it. Solution???

And again, Lithid, thanks for your time on this and keep up the good work! I appreciate it!

Small update. All these nay sayers about SBC got me thinking, and the one above that said my battery may be going bad, so I am now back in Myns 2.2 RLS5 and SBC#15 kernel. My old setup. I am going to charge my battery FULLY tonight, and in the morning, I am going to see how long my battery lasts on that setup. I was getting 2.5 to 3 days with moderate use.

Then, when it gets dead, I am going to Recharge it fully and then immediately flash Synergy and then see how long of life I get with a SBC charged kernel and the reflash and see if I get more than 18 hours.

If nothing changes, then I will forever shut up about SBC. If I get significantly longer life, then I will pay someone to do an SBC kernel. Fair enough??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
Plugged the phone in to charge at 1:05am today. Light turned green after 3 hrs 15 min. It is still not fully charged and that is at 9 hours 15 minutes. It is almost there. Right now it is showing 22mA charging and dropping. Goal is 0, which means full charge using SBC. I do realize that SBC also charges the battery at a slower rate, but that in itself cannot explain how the phone said the battery was FULLY charged after 3 hours.

So as soon as it gets to 0, I will reboot into recovery, wipe batt stats, then reboot into 2.2 RLS5 and unplug. Then I will run completely down until phone ****s off, then recharge once again using the SBC kernel, once fully charged, I will reboot into recovery, restore my Nandroid of Synergy RLS1 and see how long batt lasts on SBC charge. Then when I run that completely dead, recharge using Stock kernel from synergy and see what happens.

To really prove that the SBC method truly works is by using the same ROM. YOu are going between 2.2, and 2.3 which is not a true comparison due to the differences between two.

Now here is a real world test of SBC from back in the days of The Great SBC Controversy.

Hardware

Evo ver 003

Seidio 3500 battery

Software

Sprint Lovers ROM

Stock Kernel #15 and Stock Kernel #15 w/SBC

Preconditions

Fully charged, wiped battery status, ran for 3 days before testing fully charging overnight. Phone unplugged from charger at 6:10am, testing stopped at 7:50am.

The Test

I have a 45min commute to work via train. Once stop after I board I have full 4G service until I hit the Hudson tunnel. I listen to music via PowerAMP, and get my morning XDA fix until I hit the tunnels. From then on listening to music until I walk to my job at 30 Rock at W49th St (a good 20 min walk from NY Penn Station on W32nd St).

Tested 3 days in a row.

Stock - battery was at 73,75, and 72%

Stock + SBC - battery was at 95, 93, and 97%

Full day usage with the Stock kernel my battery was dead except for one day I had 5% left when walked in the door at home. The SBC kernel I had from 40-60% left. Since I work in a section of the building where I a get crappy 3G signal which that alone will waste a battery since all my phone does during the day is hang from my belt until I fire up PowerAMP for the commute+nap home.

Also note a LiON battey will last about 2-3 years before it croaks depending on how bad you hammer it. If you baby it, you could get 4-5 years. Generally the average phone user will toss their current phone after 2 years.

Think what you want, but I am convinced that SBC is beneficial to me. YMMV.

I also got similar results using CM7, and SavageZen kernel.
