Kudos SE - differentiating yourselves from the pack is a great USP.

This is a very brave move and one that will enhance the latest phones and platform appeal.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PirateKitten:
No doubt this is going to turn out to be an idiotic first post and the information is already available on here, but here goes! I've checked through some posts and the helpful FAQs but couldn't find something to reassure me on this.

I have an Orange branded Samsung S2. Ideally I'd like to remove all the branding from the phone and get the latest stock firmware that is possible right now.

I followed this guide on how to root my phone. As my current kernal version was KE2, I took CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.zip and used Odin to put that on. That all went on fine, so now I have a rooted phone. That's where I am now.

So now I understand I need to put on the stock firmware, which should be taken from this thread. My question here, which I can't seem to find an answer to (so perhaps isn't a problem), is are all "Samsung S2 i9100" firmwares compatible with all versions of the phone, or are there deviations in the hardware meaning I have to make sure I pick the right firwmare?

In the same way I needed to have the right kernal version before, is that the same for firmware? Does it need to stay in the format KEx? I think I just have a misunderstanding on how the firmware releases relate to each other here. I see a lot of firmwares in the thread with the format XWKyx and I'm not sure what one I would choose? Just keen to not kill my phone by going ahead and picking the wrong thing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
Now that you have root I recommend to backup you EFS folder. Search EFS backup and you will find the post on how to do it. Once that is done then you can flash any of the ROM's on the page you linked, I recommend the KI3 as it is the latest leaked Firmware. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine , remember you will loose root and will have to root again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PirateKitten:
Thanks for the advice. Will backup - could you offer any advice on my questions about firmware? I am able to just go ahead and use the XXKI3 Frankenstein firmware (so it doesn't wipe my data?) on my current KE2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
As long as you have the international version of the SGS2 then the answer is yes. :)

Follow the guide on how to flash with Odin and you're good to go.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PirateKitten:
Thanks for that confirmation, it's much appreciated. EFS backed up on to my machine and now running stock 2.3.5 :)

Hope the battery life has improved!

[Nook Color General] autumnmist:
Background (skip if you just want the link):

I really like reading with my Nook Color (CM7) but I usually read at night and even with Cyanogen's red Night Mode, browsing the web to read is still way too bright. (looking at bright stuff while trying to set yourself up to go to sleep is a recipe for bad sleep quality). I tried looking for a browser that has a real night mode (aka invert colors so webpages default to dark background, white/gray text), but as far as I can tell, none exist. I installed a fork of Stylish/Greasemonkey ("Scriptish) that is compatible with Firefox Mobile, and tried to use some of the "dark" themes/scripts. But that wasn't really much better because every time I click a link to a new page, I get a huge bright white flash of light that lasts until Firefox Mobile has completely finished rendering the page (10 seconds+). I can read eBooks fine in the dark because FBReader has a good functional night mode and you can custom set the background and text colors.

Anyway, TLDR I just found a solution that's almost as good and perhaps even more useful in certain use cases. It's a Firefox extension/add-on called GrabMyBooks: grabmybooks.com

You can have GMB grab full webpages, links that you've right-clicked on, or selected text. You can do multiple pages at a time and each one will show up as an article (chapter). It'll stick these in a file, let you give it a title, a cover, etc, and then you can download an ePub with each page as a chapter. You can also do some basic editing within the browser/GMB, or save the ePub to your computer and edit in Sigil.

The best part is that for power users who regularly want to download articles from certain sites, you can create "Detection Rules" to automatically retrieve the content enclosed between two HTML tags that have a particular ID or class.

I'm planning to use this as an alternative/complement to ReadItLater (which I love, but it doesn't work with most sites that require logins)

Yikes, so sorry to see that. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
...Really?

This works like this?

........I'm going to take some pictures of the sun tomorrow. I can't help but be skeptical. I'm pretty sure I have plenty of pictures of the sun, not that they turn out as anything more than lense flares.

OP, what were the circumstances? Did you just take one pic of the sun? Or did you take a bunch of them? An entire photo session of just the sun?

Damn, now I can't wait to try this...I wanna see HDR pix of the sun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
HDR pic was exactly what did this to my phone.

Since you have to hold the camera still for a few seconds, apparently thats enough to damage the sensor.

Trust me, DONT DO IT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
You wouldn't do this even with a DSLR WITHOUT a special sun filter lens! Why in the world would you even attempt this?

Hey, you wanna see something really cool? Grab a magnifying glass and hold it up to the sun and check it out with your bare naked eye! :confused:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Econ212:
Absolutely play dumb, You're average Sprint tech has no idea how to fix anything more than an earpierce. You'll be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
It's kind of amazing how common this attitude of "please advise on how to commit fraud" is in this forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
Ummmm, unless the sensor is organic, it really doesn't work like that. It's possible you damaged the microlenses around that area, but not probable. The camera lens is UV and IR blocked, so the light that actually does any damage is absorbed by those coatings on the lens. The second reason for those coatings is because UV and IR light can cause a color-shift in your images, which is generally undesirable for color-accuracy.

My bet is pure coincidence, or a dirty/scratched lens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Pure coincidence that the spot is in the same exact spot that the sun was in the HDR pic I took? I think not sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
OK then. What time was the HDR pic, and the approx location of the sun? How many exposures and the exposure times of the HDR shot? Could you post the pics to picasa and keep the EXIFs intact?

I have insurance and will perform the exact same steps (even though I hate HDR). If the camera gets damaged, then it is not performing up to spec and I am not defrauding Sprint. How many thousands of HDR sunset/rise images have you seen and the camera has performed perfectly since? I am still skeptical.

I used to work with light sensors in a research capacity, which gives my skepticism cause.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiwiBeans:
I'm not a camera expert at all, but I only recently found out that bright light sources can damage your sensor. While trying to find videos of lasers at shows damaging expensive cameras, I happened across one that deals with a Galaxy S in particular:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcKLXVTAeOA

Here's a regular DSLR camera damaged: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0TgaGePhJA

Lesson: don't take your GSII out in a light saber battle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
This was the one and only HDR shot I attempted in direct sunlight. Was not sunset/sunrise, this was closer to high-noon sun with no clouds.

The HDR app took 3 exposures over the course of about 3 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
OK, I'll give it a go.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Typical lasers at a laser-light show have about the same intensity of the sun (1mW/mm^2). These are considered "eye-safe" as blink reaction will interrupt the beam before it can cause any damage. The difference, however, is the sun's intensity is across the light spectrum, while a laser is monochromatic (one wavelength of light).

The typical sensor is a Bayer Array, detecting red, (2) green and blue light, per each sub-pixel, by filtering out everything else. The relative intensity they'll see from the sun will be vastly lower than the intensity they'll see from a laser light.

Furthermore, the "damage" in the OP's sensor is not the same kind of damage found from the lasers. The lasers will take out an entire line in the sensor, not a local area. They'll also destroy the line's ability to capture light-data, not just reduce it to a slightly darkened spot.

My vote is still dust, but I haven't taken a picture of the sun just yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
I'll say it again: Before taking picture, no spot. After taking picture, spot in the exact same place as the sun in the picture. I don't see why you're in denial about this still.

It's possible maybe my sensor was defective and more susceptible to this damage. But I'm 99.99% sure it was the picture I took. But believe whatever you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
https://picasaweb.google.com/105386435196828062439/September292011?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Several pics of the sun, on a sunny NC day, around 1:30pm. Pics of a white wall included. Will take pics of a white piece of paper if requested. No spots to speak of.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I am saying it's highly unlikely and damage to sensors from light yielded dramatically different symptoms in my experience.

The spot is there. As an avid photographer playing on my experience with light sensors in the past, I'm more inclined to believe it's dust.

[HD7 General] Ylinen:
Have an HD7 and now upgraded to mango. Trying to get the Visual Voicemail to work.

Have called T-mobile and they have enabled the feature. I got the text message that a change to my account has been made.

When I turn on Visual Voicemail in PHONE SETTING; I get the following error: OOPS!, Something happened and we couldn't set up your visual voicemail.

I have tried turning off wifi.

So; have anyone found a fit to this. Seems like many are not getting it to work and some are.

I am on the family plan with data/text/voice

Wish that Microsoft and T-Mobile had done a better job of testing in beta.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
[HD7 General] Zephnath:
just waite till your next billing cycle?

Chances are that there is no problem and that the changes made to your t-mobile account have not taken effect yet. A month ago I had the same issue. So I went to t-mobile.com and change my services to enable visual voice mail. After making the change it said that the new features would be enabled the next billing cycle. I then received an email stating that I or somebody authorized had made changes to my t-mobile account. When the new billing cycle kicked in, I received another message stating that the changes that I made were going into effect. (more or less) I was then able to use visual voicemail.
[HD7 General] nat45928:
same here on a 32gb HD7 with a even more plus plan.
[HD7 General] TechJunkiesCA:
This is an issue for me as well. It was working on the beta but stopped when I added voice to text. I cancelled that feature in hopes that vvm would start working again but no luck. I was told to wait two hours a month ago! I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with T-MO and they told me to wait another couple hours. If that does not work than they will open a support ticket. Whatever that means. I will report back. Oh, and were not alone. http://support.t-mobile.com/message/37538
[HD7 General] nat45928:
I just got a support ticket opened. well see what happens.
[HD7 General] Team_rev:
Here is my visual voice mail Story

So my story on visual voice mail goes like this: I was running mango beta and I had visual voice mail working just fine. I was on a old unlimited plan. I changed plans to the new 2 line unlimited plan and my visual voice mail quite working. I have spoke with the tech support line over 5 times. I have had my voice mail box removed and replaced at least five times. Still to no avail. My visual voice mail no longer works. Tech support tells me its on their end. There is no reason why it did work on beta and doesn't work on full release. In fact I had one rep pawn me off to Microsoft before the full release because she said the beta version wasn't supported by Tmobile. I have two full blown tickets in with engineering now and will post if I get anything resolved. The best people I have found so far work out of the New Mexico facility. I should have more answers by Friday.
[HD7 General] kvizz:
Is your 3G data on?

Currently I'm using my T-Mobile HD7 without data.

Visual voicemail is no go.

But when I turn on 3G it works fine. (I enable Visual Voicemail as a service myself on the site.)

I haven't been charged for data yet, but I rarely use it.

Yep. 3G data with full bars of service.
