[LG Optimus Black] LGsucks:
This happened to me too the other day. The phone slipped out of my hand and onto a rather soft vinyl floor. Screen is now cracked all over, but working.

As it seems no-one here has been able to replace the screen themselves with ebay replacement glass (probably plastic anyway), I'll just throw my OB in the trash, and gladly so, because of LG's broken promises to update the phone. Thinking back, I might even have had a smirk on my face when I realized what had happened. At least now I have an excuse to get the Galaxy Nexus or some other phone from a decent, self-respecting company, and finally be at peace with the phone I own. With the OB I could feel a bit of frustration every time I used it. Frustration (or pity really) is something I also felt when I checked this forum, since the mods kept closing all the GB-related threads for no apparent reason other than to demonstrate their power.

Without LG, life will indeed be good :)
[LG Optimus Black] voga06:
"the screen is scratch resistant" - well i made a scratch by simply cleaning the screen with some textil made for cleaning glasses
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
P970 screen is Gorilla Glass. But I'm not sure about the replacement one from eBay.
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
I can say yes it is gorilla glass. I have kept my device with keys in same pocket several times; no scratch.

Sprint P:60681 PRL

Unzip using WinRAR then

Flash using DFS
[Nexus S General] corythug:
It would update your prl if it hasn't done so automatically.
[Nexus S General] havieri23:
thanks! and thanked
[Nexus S General] jayseersts:
How do you flash using DFS? pls give me a step by step if possible, thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
QPST is easier. If you have a version that is fully functional, which can be found online.
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
Its a bit of a process. But I think its worth it. You have to enable modem mode by dialing a #*#* code. Enter the code and Samsung 16 digit generic unlock code. Then you get access to anything on your phone
[Nexus S General] eastside08:
this method is 10xs easier.

1. Download the PRL.zip folder

2. Unzip PRL onto sdcard root (I used ES File Explorer)

3. Download MSL reader from the market, give it SU access

4. Tap read MSL...write down the 6 digit MSL/SPC Number

5. In the phone dialer dial ##775#

6. In prompt enter the your MSL/SPC number as password

7. Tap Update PRL. Navigate to your PRL file

8. Tap setting button and select Commit Changes.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Last I checked msl reader only worked on htc phones....
[Nexus S General] stkiswr:
Open terminal

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.

Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??

Thanks

PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! :-) good luck
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
Thanks, I don't want a new ROM - just the green icons. I currently have green icons but not the ones that only go green when you are connected to Google services.

I am looking for JUST that part only.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
Yes mate..infact..achotjan has released a flashable addon of systemUI.apk with green icons when connect to google..not a whole rom..here you are..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192469

Edit: sorry..in the first reply i wrote that it is framework related..my mistake..it is systemUI related!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
I have used those once before, but the files don't exist on those links anymore. I would like a dev to explain if this is something that we can do ourselves, or if it is some complicated hack.....
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
Damn..you are right..link was deleted!! If you want tomorrow i can upload it for you!! let me know if you want achotjan file or if you want to try yourself!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] deveron3:
I want it. Please upload if its not too much trouble... Btw i'm running wolfs tw v5. Will it work on this ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.

If someone could explain the process that would be great.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wing_zero8556:
you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.

The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
Green Icons

Here you have the flashable file with Achotjan SystemUI (green icons)..a big thanks to him for sharing this file some mounth ago!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?

I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.

Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] InternationalPlayer71:
Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now? :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] wing_zero8556:
do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Galaxea:
Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingo.Weiss:
Hi guys,

I just got a S II and I'm trying to upgrade the firmware, but I use Mac OS X with Parallels and when I put the phone on Download mode it doesn't get recognized by the Mac and then can't be mapped on Windows XP inside Parallels.

I've never had this issue with my old Milestone for example.

I get the following messages on the Mac OS logs:

Any ideas how I can get this fixed or to work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayspat:
I think you should look at Heimdall. I'm using it on linux without any problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingo.Weiss:
I've tried without luck.

It gives me: "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."

Also I don't know how to use Odin .tar files with Heimdall.

I don't know if this is a phone or Mac OS X Lion issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayspat:
I'm using VMware Workstation(for mac VMware Fusion) for using windows only things. I have been using Odin with it. No problem for me. Also you can try Virtualbox but im not sure about good usb support.

After installing virtual machine, you should install drivers on virtual machine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingo.Weiss:
Thanks hayspat, but I think the problem lies on Mac OS X Lion.

If it doesn't recognize the device it can't pass it along to the VM it seems. I'm not 100% sure.

Can you check on Console.app what messages related to USB show up when you put your S II on Download mode?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Had the same problem with snow leopard and parallels and vmware.In download mode you can not connect it to VM(or I don't know how to do it successfully).Of course with lion I had the same issues

Made bootcamp(just small partition to use odin and few other programs)

Ps installed parallel tools etc etc

No luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayspat:
I'm not using mac now but I was using Macbook Air with Snow Leopard previously.

Heimdall and VMware Fusion with Odin worked for me. I recognized successfully my Galaxy S I9000. Maybe you're right, it can be Lion's problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
I read Heimdall has no SGS2 support on OSX yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harmonydroid:
it's 2014 and the problem still exists

Hi,

Did you find a solution for us?

Been all over the web.

No solution found.

PROBLEM:

Finder will not see the phone in download mode. MAC simply does NOT RECOGNIZE IT

Galaxy S2 4.1.2

Finder ONLY sees phone when I activate usb utilities in settings.

But of course the phone is all booted up by then.

SOLUTION NEEDED:

MAC TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE IN DOWNLOAD MODE

HISTORY:

Mac and Adnroid phone have a history of this.

I hope someone answers soon.

I am pretty annoyed and tired. over 100 hours of research.

I also made a utube video about this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Be prepared for a very long wait. Few people post here these days, and as you've already said, this issue remains. Your best option is to use a PC/Odin whenever you need to flash anything in DL mode.

And before you arc up with 'I shouldn't have to blah blah blah', the reality is Heimdall is hit & miss at best. I've given you a solution, you can either avail yourself of it or live with the problems you've currently got (they won't be solved anytime soon given it's been 3 yrs since this phone was released).
[General Questions and Answers] Hat7:
I own a galaxy s (well i lost it) but i want to know what is rooting and ROMS. Is rooting like jailbreaking and whats the benefits. I wish to root a galaxy ace when i get one (as a cheap replacement) so is it worth it?

What are roms?, its all really confusing!:eek:

Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome :D
[General Questions and Answers] DroidFreek:
Ok here's the rundown roms(read only memory) is basically the OS. Wp7 froyo iOS are all operating systems. Rooting is like jail breaking in a a sense but the only difference is that u gain super user access to the device which is kind of lik being an admin. In terms of benefits you get alot more it sort of boost the freedom on your device.

[TouchPad General] drtek:
Hi there,

I just got my touchpad 16gb and on boot (dark) my screen looks like this:

Is this normal on touchpad or should I send it back.

Thanks for your opinions!
[TouchPad General] yareally:
It's an IPS display pannel screen, which are known for being super bright and having light bleed on blacks. However, they also have the best color gamut (range) and quality. Apple uses them for all of their displays (including the ipad). You could turn down the brightness a bit if it bothers you.
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
Mine had the same issue
[TouchPad General] drtek:
What do you mean by had? Did you send it in for repairs or did you cope?

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] Mikehud1984:
If I were you I'd definitely send it back while you still can and claim one of the 100,000 - 200,000 HP is going to produce next month. Mine has a slight cloudyness / gohsting effect like yours but is barely noticeable even on max brightness on a black screen. These Touchpads have been know to have screen defects due to improper installation or settling in during production. So if it were me I'd send it in for repair. Sorry you just got it and will end up missing it while its away I feel your pain. Hope I could help.
[TouchPad General] firewater2003:
To fix the issue...

Go to setting and slide down the BRIGHTNESS...

Hope to solve your screen issue.
[TouchPad General] jomaxwel:
Mine looks identical to yours. Though I don't notice it very often in normal use.reminds me of my old g2x screen (also ips). I guess just live with it.
[TouchPad General] JeremyNT:
Mine looks similar. Luckily it's only really noticeable as the device boots.
[TouchPad General] Nickbert:
backlight clouding

my touchpad got the same issue, seems to be normal, sadly
[TouchPad General] idyu:
Add another one to the list.

All 3 touchpads I purchased exhibit similar backlight bleeding--all along the same left side, near the speakers.

1 was about as severe as the attached picture in the OP. The others minimal.

My guess is faulty design in tandem with the IPS technology resulting in what seems to be widespread--aka normal.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
Yeah, i notice it on my normal desktop IPS monitors as well, but mostly if you have brightness way up and a full black screen. IPS has a drawback that it does not display true black very well. I keep my normal monitors at like 30-40% brightness (much higher and I would go blind from it) and I don't really notice it.
[TouchPad General] dantes1:
All are the same

Have seen 6 of them plus mine...same issues.

Deal with it at 99... whe ask perfection for a tablet at the price of the photo frame. HP should return your money and donate the tablet to a poor kid in the third world. They will save some money in that case...

If less means "more" than "all" will be nothing!;)
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
Yeah my Asus Transformer IPS panel also had light bleed. It the IPS panels are excellent screens, but this is one of the prices you pay. Besides during normal use you don't really notice it.

I advise not staring at your screen while it's booting up.
[TouchPad General] drtek:
Got my TP back from the European Service Center (located in Hungary) today.

Well, the bleeding on the left edge of the screen got slightly better BUT the operation left visible marks on the housing.

It seems they pried the Touchpad open with some sort of tool around in the area of the rubber seal surrounding the display, thus leaving "screwdriver-marks".

I will contact HP Support again.

Should have listened to you IPS Panel guys :P

[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
your icon looks a lot like the nook icon :o

can't you get in trouble for that? will try it out after class!
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Yeah well, you are right but it's nothing more than the letter "n". And I shaped the letter myself in Photoshop and didn't really think about nook so I don't think that is a problem in any way. ;)

Edit: Btw. I added some more screenshots and updatet the app but the Market refreshes itself so dawn slow that you can't see it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] jeffreychan:
Nice app really.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnumutz:
A very nice app, for absent minded people like myself :D
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Looks good!! Please include an option for selecting pop-up notification.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thank you guys for the feedback!

Do you mean a pop-up like the one from GO SMS? I'll put it on my todo list :)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Yup - that's what I mean. That's the only thing missing from making this app perfect :)
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Should it wake up the device or even unlock it?

Edit: I already implemented the pop-up. I'll make it an option if you want it to wake or even unlock the phone.

Also you'll be able to choose if you only want the normal notification, only the pop-up or both.

Stay tuned for the next Update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Alright, just updated the app, it might take a minute to show up in the market.

Changelog:

New features:

- Added option to get a popup upon receiving a notification

- Added option to wake or unlock device upon receiving a notification

- Added option to set the notification sound and vibration

Bugfixes:

- fixed minor things
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
This app is the business!! I've looked for something like this for quite a while, so thank you indeed for creating it.

Now that the pop-up option has been created, the only other suggestion I have is to be able to invert the colours - so that the background is dark and the text is white.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
I'm glad you like it :)

I'm not satisfied with the all white background at the moment so I'll look into it this weekend. Maybe I'll make a black theme as an option too.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Black theme would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Put another update out there.

Changelog:

- List design changes

- Option to choose a black theme

- Fixed text overlapping

- Fixed bug with edit button

- Fixed bug with widget

- Fixed longpress delete button

enjoy :)
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Black theme looks great! Any chance of integration with Google Calendar so the notifications will automatically be imported into it, if at all possible?
[Android Apps and Games] P4vLOx:
Hey. I like this app. :) Is very useful !
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Do you mean to export the notification into Google Calendar or the other way around? I would have to get familiar with the Google Calendar API but it sure wouldn't be impossible to do so.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Yes - that the notifications created will automatically be exported to Google Calendar. It's not a big issue as the app works great as it is now. It was more if you wanted suggestions on possible further enhancements. I'm in no way an expert on creating apps, but there are calendars on the market that integrate with Googles calendar so it might be possible.
[Android Apps and Games] rajgandhi_2008:
Great work.

Thank You
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Please, keep the suggestions coming ;)

I'll look into it and if it's not too hard to do I'll implement it. I also thought about some feature to share notifications with other people and the Google Calendar might be the way to go there.
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Updated the app again.

Recent Changes (1.05/1.06):

- Ability to edit archived notifications (and reactivate them)

- Small list design changes

- Fixed small with bug buttons

- Fixed bug with grey optional text

- UI polishing
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Some widget suggestions:

- Transparent background

- Include "Create New" notification and "Show Planned" notification options

- Integration with Google Calendar (just throwing that back in...;))
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I like it mate! Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] cTrox:
Thanks!

- The widget is already transparent or do you mean something else?

- Where should I put these? On the widget?

- Yep, still looking into it :)

Btw. I just put out another Update, I just can't settle with the User Interface :D

Tell me what you think about the UI after the update! :)

Edit:

Screenshots of the new Version:
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
It appears to have a dark rectangular background. Please see screenshot below.

Yes it would be nice to have those two buttons on the widget instead of Time/Date and Text.

Sounds good with the possible Google Calendar integration :)
