[Galaxy S II General] daijoubu:
I dont think he is refering to both yellowish screens or banding.

I'm having this issue too. It doesnt show itself unless the screen brightness is turned down, and especially an grey background. There will be faint large vertical stripes. It is as if the backlighting is uneven. Increase the brightness and it'll go away.

Seeing that i do not have the yellowish screen problem, no stuck/dead pixels and no bluish tint problem, im very reluctant to send this phone back for a replacement due to this problem. Its something that i can live with.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
I don;t know what is wrong with my captivate.

I have flashed a lot of roms and no matter what I am having this issue.. I install a ROM, set up only my email, and only 1 or two apps.. nothing special

and everything seems to be slow and laggy and just not very usable.

any ideas on what I can do , my last resort is to try to install just a stock rom and see what happens.

its getting me pretty mad really.

ideas, help, i have searched and found this issue with other phones, but not with the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicool:
Hmm weird,probably try getting back to stock and then master clear and then again flash back to the rom of your choice.....!

note:master clear will delete everything on your internal memory card make a backup of imp data before clearing.

Try installing a cutting edge rom with voodoo lagfix. If this doesn't work, you can always just send it back to At&t for a new one if your warranty is still valid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Its always a good idea to ODIN back to stock and/or Wiping data, cahce and Dalvid cache a few times.

How slow is slow? Quadrant is not always the most useful, but it might be nice to know what your score is for the sake of a baseline.

Just fyi, my current setup gets me around 1700, but stock was pretty solid at 975. If you are getting decent scores, then try using a system monitor to see if a service or app is chewing up your CPU cycles. If your scores are very low, then you may have a lemon.

it just seems laggy and almost unusable. example: a compleatly clean phone with no data but Gmail set up, when i go into the market it seems really slow to load the market, then i insall Facebook, its slow as hell, laggy no matter what i do.

there is nothing installed on the phone

i will try odin back to 2.2 stock and see what happens.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] VisualOddity:
So I keep getting the low space alert, and it seems like my emails and texts stop when that happens, which is no bueno... I don't know why since I only have like 5-6 apps installed and have cleared my text msgs, but it keeps happening...

Is there a way for me to move my apps to the SD Card, as well as have them install there in the future *without having to root*? I'm not rooted, and due to it looking like a PITA, I really don't want to have to do it. I did the upgrade to 2.2 when I got it, and the option is in the setting to move each app to the SD Card, but that option is disabled and I cannot engage it.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] VisualOddity:
No one? Seriously?

Ok, how about this. If I do need to root to remove some apps and whatnot or however to make space, and I have no interest in custom ROM's, Radios, etc, what is the quickest and easiest way to root? One without having to install the SDK or anything like that? I am currently on 2.2.1, stock. :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] neoslink1:
unfortunently, you do have to have root access to use apps to SD. BUT, i said the same thing about custom roms when i first started modding. heres what you can do.

1) Root your phone and install a CWM recovery using one of the many useful guides on this site

2) (optional) Achieve S-OFF in Hboot. this allows for further modification of a roms internal files after it has been flashed.

3)Download and flash the CM7 Rom(and gapps) from cyanogenmod.com (ensure that it is the rom for your phone)

4)Partition your SD card for EXT 4. (this is done in an app called ROM manager from the market.)

5) After you've booted into android, go to the android market and download an app called S2E. CM7 has its own built in A2SD, but ive found this to be the simplest and best overall.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] VisualOddity:
Thank You Sir! Is there any way to root w/out a gold card?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ekorshus:
There are several options on how to root your fone after you've upgraded to 2.2. Your real problem is, & this is the reason why they made the update available on HTC's website, rather than just doing an OTA, that the 2.2 package w/ Sense is just too big for the available internal storage...

The 2nd problem is, I noticed the guy prior suggested obtaining "S-off". This CANNOT, @ least last time I checked around, be done once you've updated to the stock HTC build of 2.2. You can still root the phone using one of the many methods available in the MT3GS android development boards & then install CM7 which frees up a lot internal storage space on the phone....

so, stupid question time.

i've used ADB in the past and its worked great so not sure whats going on this time around.

I get the following errors when trying to start adb:

"daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon"

I have installed moto drivers for droid 3 (32bit), im on win7 32bit. I have my phone on dev mode, and charge only. I have run CMD with admin rights. and still ADB wont turn on.

I have also tried using the new one click method:

anyone have some direction? I did kill adb from my running processes (all instances) and tried all over, no go, same error.

[Motorola Droid 3] LaTropa64:
Did you put the phone is PC Mode as opposed to USB Mass Storage?
[Motorola Droid 3] Izeltokatl:
its supposed to be done in Charing only mode, the issue isn't on my phone setup, it got to do with my darn computer, I can even do an adb devices command... may have to remove the sdk completely and start over.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
Put in charge only, use one click method
[Motorola Droid 3] LRiley:
did you change directory in cmd to the folder that adb is in?

...I had to change to the folder like this cd\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
The one-click root method is bundled with adb.exe. Except for the driver and a USB cable, it contains everything needed to root. :)
[Xperia Play General] romcio47:
Hello. I've bought Dead Space today and started to play using headphones. Audio seems to be not balanced properly. It's like having not 50% for left and 50% for right but 80% for left and 20% for right. It's really annoying, cause I use original SE headphones and audio works good on any other app. Also I can clearly hear that when headphones are unplugged audio is still not good - louder on the left speaker and quieter on the right speaker.

Is there any fix for this?

[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
Thanks to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1230956

I own one of those XTC Clip's if you are not one of the other 9 people who could get one, My advise if you want to take this phone up a level then purchase one.

First off create the gold card via the XTC Clip, this way it produces 2 files on the micro sd card which are needed for that phone connect the phone to the clip with that gold card in your phone, once done it will flash the phone for you and in one neat package it will also allow you s-off your phone, from that phase you can then download the following file http://www.mediafire.com/?yfsm6wk2lgyxj9s

once your phone is back to normal copy that file to your new gold card and boot into the bootloader and it will install that for you, you should then have custom recovery, now backup your existing rom, otherwise it is a real pain to get back if you don't like the custom firmware you choose after, I know first hand. I will post different roms as i get chance but I am now currently going to start to find a solid way to root the uk firmware
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
ok well this update includes the chance of an actual root with a stock o2 rom,

after successfully s-off the htc salsa, I installed the custom firmware recovery as above, from there i installed some custom chinese firmware but found it did not support google by any means, I didn't backup my original rom so I had a bit of work to get an o2 rom back onto the phone, From there i installed superuser and then busybox, I found that busybox forces superuser to close, today i have tried the ginger break exploit, again this closes super user, I took out the battery after 15 mins, took out the sd card and replaced with the gold card, at which point i installed the apks via the custom firmware recovery tool, when the phone loaded i ran z4root and chose the temp root, then ran gingerbreak again, this time super user did not close, but it fails, so i have then gone back and retried z4root and put permanent root and it seems to have worked. however after trying to install busybox, it just gives an error saying device not rooted, still in testing but z4 does seem to act like it grants root access, still in testing and will update as soon as this stock rom is rooted
[HTC Salsa] cgone:
Thanks for the report, mate, it surely helps us a lot. Keep it up ;-)
[HTC Salsa] darma78:
meaning now you had S-off and root access?

to get that recovery i should pay for it? *I don't have a credit card, so online payment a little bit tricky for me :D*
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
i have successful s-off

root on the other hand is a no

Once everything is working and root is sorted i will post my workings, so there is no need to pay for anything, you may need an xtc clip unless you would be happy testing a formatted micro sd card with the files a xtc clip generates in your phone

Z4ROOT shows as if it has rooted the phone but not one root app confirms, when i installed root checker, that confirms the phone is not rooted, but does state that superuser is in the right place, this morning i had to recover from a previous back up too as the clock seems to be playing up and I had noticed some apps not working quite right after the z4root and gingerbreak tests.
[HTC Salsa] raskal:
he maybe thought that xtc clip does the root
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
very true with the thread been progress with xtc clip.

I do have to say the root on this phone is becoming so what of a head ache trying so many different work arounds but when i am off for a day next i will test some more options
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Does the clip require a battery or can I use the USB cable to fit via pc?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
followed all instructions and still have s-on!
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
the clip i found seems to work better with a 9v battery

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

i did find i had to mess around with it quite a bit before i got the s-off, still been working on rooting i got close today but then for the short while i thought i had done it as a temp, everything on my phone seemed to freeze or hang up
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
ok diag screen was running, went into the screen and selected DIAG in red.

goto service DIAG 1.00 screen, hit the fb button on clean S58 and then it takes 10secs till reboot.

then still s-on!

tried numerous of times now with no luck!
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
I think when i put the guide together i kinda overlooked just what i did and assumed others would be just as experienced, I am off on thursday so will have a play then and see if i can put something together to cover all the steps.
[HTC Salsa] vickyboicancan:
i got my clip weeks ago but havent had time to play with(mostly cause my gf uses the salsa and doesnt have a secondary phone)

but have some time this week and will work with it and also see if root can be achieved

[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
Hello,

I need some help.

I need (want) to buy a new Android device in the next days.

I was going for the I9000 till today when I discovered the LG 2X I never heard about before, it would cost me 10€ more but it provides dual core processor and better gpu (in the event google will ever use gpu acceleration for the OS).

I would go with that, the problem is that from what I've read here the stock ROM sucks, and the battery with it doesn't last long. But the main concern for me are the custom ROMs since I was going to use them on the galaxy anyway. I've seen that even the cutoms ROMs for the lg are not stable and complete, missing a lot of features and functionalities.

Do you think considering I want the best bang for the buck in terms of performance and OS support will it be better to just go with samsung but basically having half* the performance but HUGE community developers support or buy the better LG and hoping the community will continue creating a stable CM7 at least?

I also wonder why the LG costing roughly the same as the SGS is not that famous, I think that's is the main reason why the development is still at early stages
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
2x, nothing to think about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theos0o:
i'd get the 2x too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
Thank you.

Could you elaborate your reasons since you both have the I9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fremen567:
Well, LG really doesn't utilise the tech it contains

Played with the phone for few days and although it's got some nice touches it does not feel snapier or smoother than SGS. I was facing the same dilema you have now few months ago and went with SGS. But thruth to be told I've had SGS before for half a year and knew what to expect. Check the 2x section here on XDA and see whats up with development,issues bugs etc. In the end what ever phone u pick it is what u make of it. Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romdroid.:
i would never buy a product manufactured from LG. pure ****.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I bought it recently, because I got rid of HTC Desire just in time, so I could get a used SGS for the same price. Its a great device, only thing that sux, is the slow internal memory chip, that's why it gets laggy after installing a load of apps. CM7 thankfully puts the data on the system chip.

Besides better, newer hw on LG, I really have no idea why you would prefer 1 yr old device. Smack CM on the LG and that's it. :]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
doesn't CM on the LG have problems? like camera, bluetooth, battery?

Seems pretty buggy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Nightly says only problems with AD2P bt audio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058254

[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
what about the screens? Is the Samsung's AMOLED better?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghazi.urfali:
Definitely AMOLED is much nicer to look at.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Notorious544d:
But Optimus 2x has IPS screen which is also very good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Notorious544d:
Optimus 2x or Galaxy S?

As you can see from my signature, I'm in the exact same position. The problem is that the Galaxy S is a very mature device with many stable fixes/kernels and Roms. There is also a large community support.

However, the Optimus 2x has MUCH better specs at the same price. The O2X is very premature as the only 2.3 Rom is CM7, which is very buggy. There have been numerous problems with O2X's as well like screen bleed and freezes/reboots etc. Also worth noting is that the Optimus 2x community is nowhere near as big and lively as the Galaxy S community (I may be wrong, please correct if I am).

So should I get the mature Galaxy S with a lot of support (and SAMOLED screen) or risk the O2X which has less support but better specs?

P.S. Will Galaxy S be able to run all Tegra 2 games smoothly if GPU is OC?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
yup SAME situation. And I bet you're aware of the expansys UK price of the 2X:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Notorious544d:
Yep:D You're physic!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Notorious544d:
I'm personally learning towards the O2X. There is so much hardware potential that is yet to come from the O2X. In fact, there is already so many tweaks like CPU/GPU/RAM/Audio and video encoder OC as well as Voodoo sound which is still getting developed by Supercurio.

TBH, if you buy the O2X, it'll certainly be more interesting as the Galaxy S has been tweaked right up to it's highest potential but with the O2X, it's yet to come, and that just adds to the excitement of new hacks/kernels/roms that XDA developers are so good at! I personally think that a tweaked Galaxy S is roughly the same performance as a stock O2X (hence our dilemma) but I believe that a tweaked O2X will surpass performance of SGS2 stock AND tweaked. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -sandro-:
The problem is: what if the project will be abandoned? What if ICS will never appear on this device? Be aware also that Nvidia has not made their source code available and thus they may never get some things to work on the phone with customs roms. I don't get if the community is "weak" because the product is newer or because people (aka developers) don't think it has a future.

But still the price/hardware is amazing, too bad the stock rom makes it worse than the SGS, basically if the hardware was actually used by LG alone I would have already ordered it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Notorious544d:
That's the problem. Is it worth the risk?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lvvine:
Never Ever buy LG 2X

Never buy LG 2X its crap phone.... I brought one and sold it out in 10 day of use....Its Junk phone...No proper Support & worst Andriod 2.2 laggy phone. Go for Samsung S1 or S2 best phone Samsung gives best ROM's updates

Nope, but Verizon is getting a sister phone that is basically identical.

In reality, Verizon was out due to other changes it wanted. Now it will have a nearly identical phone with its other changes. Meaning it will be potentially all screwed up with software.

I will probably skip it and go with an HTC model this holiday.
