[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anf1974:
Over the past week I have experienced some weird behaviour from my Nexus S i9023, running stock 2.3.6 (that is rooted). This includes:

1. Randomly Deleted about 50 photos and 10 .jpg files from internal SD Card.

2. Lockscreen appeared distorted with clock in potrait mode and unlock sliders in landscape (and unusable)

So I decided to re-flash 2.3.6 rom, re-root, re-install CWR and then erased internal SD storage.

After 24 hours of no issues, today the screen went black and was unresponsive (would not wake) from lock. Then after lots of pressing on/off button, the battery and signal icons appeared, but nothing else. I had to remove battery and re-start phone.

Anyone else have these issue?

How did you resolve?

Thanks in advance!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Are there any good (aka easy to apply) screen protectors for the Xoom? I've seen the anti-glare on other devices but that was a while back.

Any good/bad stories?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rblacula:
I've had good luck with GreatShield antiglare protectors, bubbles aside. You can't tell the difference in color like with my protectors for my Nexus S 4G... I hate how most antiglare protectors do that on most phones with whites looking like little rainbow green and red specks. I recommend these!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchxoom:
I have the SGP Steinheil antiglare protector and like it... used the steamy bathroom application method and had no problems,though it was the 3rd protector I installed so Ivd had some practice. I've been pleased with quality and durability.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peterpaulmarie:
I'm using Maoni protectors. Easy handling w/o bubbles.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
That looks like a pretty good screen protector but $20 seems a little on the steep side for me atm. Granted, tablet screen protectors are always going to be a bit more expensive.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchxoom:
I think you get what you pay for, as a general rule. If you haven't tried putting one on a tablet, though, I'd buy a cheap one or two from VZW or Wallyworld and practice so you don't get ticked about ruining a $20 protector. I found it much tougher than putting one on a phone, due to the screen size.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
I personally wouldn't recommend anti-glare (unless you've seen it recently and know you like it). To my eyes, it makes any screen look very grainy.

Stay away from Zagg InvisibleShield - I have one on my Xoom and like it; but it's a tricky install. It took me a half hour to install it and it's perfect, though the opposite of easy! :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I got the GreatShield from Amazon :http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-A...HAEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318595684&sr=8-1

it comes with 3 screen protectors, a microfiber cloth and a card to remove bubbles for about $11.00. They still have it.

I used up one and then got the 2nd one down with minimal trouble. No stickness or residue, but these things stick tight unless you purposfully remove them.

Almost no graininess and virtually zero fingerprints, and no glare at all.

I would recommend.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadjetGirl59:
Do you suggest this for the Samsung tablet also?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
If they make one specifically for the Gtab, sure. The Xoom one has a little cutout for the front camera that may not match up for Gtab.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FC360:
I've encountered 2 kinds of screen protectors soft ones which are so annoying because they bend and stick together the ones I've had from Zagg needed some kinda liquid spraying on the protector which always left marks on the side I sprayed. The other ones that I really like are hard ones I could hold 1 by the edge and it wouldn't go flimsy or anything and it was easy to apply just put 1 edge down on the screen and slide so it's against the side of the screen and then slowly apply the rest of it.

What kind is the Greatshield? I'm want to buy a Xoom but I'm holding off until I can find a screen protector I like and can apply easily. I've already wasted £20 on a screen protector which didn't work even though I followed the instruction video perfectly.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Great Shield is the hard one, and you don't need any kind of spray.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FC360:
In that case I'll buy 1 or 2 :)

Has anyone noticed better gps accuracy or response times when enabling the sensor aiding, GLONASS, or both in the high fidelity position app?

I have been trying different tests and I am inconclusive.
[Focus General] Scipio Magnus:
Since latest update to it I have noticed when it is enabled I keep a tighter accuracy ring longer. Where as before it would lose accuracy faster as I moved. I have been using the Outdoor Navigation app from GPS Tuner with great results for Geocaching.
[Focus General] W99DEY:
This app worked great. I have just bought a new phone and the app is no longer available to install from the market place.

I think the last version was 1.4.

Does anyone know why it was pulled and if it will return.

i installed the app using that exact link about 2 hours before i made that post (had just hard reset).

i went to this page on my phone http://www.wpcentral.com/new-samsung-high-fidelity-position-enhances-gps-modifies-settings and clicked the link they provided.

again this is all from the phone, also..once installed it is in your settings at the bottom..not the app list.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
mail the link to your phone and then click on it from there.

I was puzzled for a few minutes as after it installed it seemed to disappear.

I found it in Settings at the bottom of the list.

[Focus General] W99DEY:
Worked.... Hurrah.... Cheers, Really surprised that this is now so hidden as it is a fantastic app.....
[Focus General] Vintage144:
just curious what these two settings do? are they used together or separate?

use sensor aiding

Use GLONASS
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Separate. Read here:

The app has two settings: "Use Sensor Aiding" where it uses those extra sensors and "GLONASS" or GLObal Navigation Satellite System, developed by the Russians and which you can enable and use at the same time to enhance location availability. (Looks like Sammy is making some new international deals).

In addition:

You have the option to use sensor aiding to help with pedestrian positioning and using GLONASS.

GLONASS is short for Globalnaya navigatsionnaya sputnikovaya sistema or mildly put, Global Navigation Satellite System. As best as I can understand things, GLONASS is a Russian version of the U.S. GPS system. It compliments your Windows Phone GPS to enhance location availability.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
the Anker batteries werent bad im going look into them for this phone .i dont like plugging my phone up with a cord it seems to put too much wear and tear on the connections. Just when you flash alot of roms like i was doing its pretty useless to try and get a battery calibrated to a rom if you know tomorrow or the next day youll be running something else so battery life on a rom dont mean squat to me thats why ill just buy a couple extra so when one is starting to die you just pop in another

So, I was checking out the Samsung Galaxy S2 at my local T-Mobile store, and was comparing / contrasting it very closely with the HTC Amaze "Ruby" 4G. Some of the things I noticed were:

* An odd blu-ish hue coming from the display (anyone notice this?)

* Low resolution screen compared to Amaze 4G (I could see pixelization on the SGS2)

* The AMOLED Plus display is much darker than the qHD on the Amaze 4G

* HTC's SenseUI is much smoother than Samsung TouchWiz

* The Amaze 4G has a 1280x720 front-facing camera, compared to 640x480 on SGS2

* Lack of shutter button (or video recording button) on Galaxy S2

* No wifi calling on SGS2

I'd been pretty much sold on the Samsung Galaxy S2 until I actually saw it in person today. Anyone else bothered by these things?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NCguy:
Definitely the wifi calling.

Add to the list that I'm seeing no tethering without updating your contract.

I've heard pros/cons about the screen resolution vs size and industry standards.

shutter button nice but not a deal breaker.

I wonder which one is going to be easier to root and rom? I dont particularly like either sense or touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mickeysirena:
Hmmmm I was in the store for a little over an hour comparing the two and I ended up getting the SGS2.

* I didn't notice the odd blue hue coming from the display and didn't think the screen was that much darker than the Amaze. Did you try adjusting the brightness?

*I thought both UIs were pretty snappy and didn't notice any lag switching between homescreens and adding widgets on either device.

*i won't argue about the actual numbers for the front-facing camera but I didn't notice a difference between the pics I took with each camera.

* Neither device launches with wifi calling. It's supposed to be included in an ota update from t-mobile. they make you get a new special sim card and everything to make sure that it will work once they do roll it out.

*I did notice some slight pixellation on the device on some sites but it didn't bother me enough not to get the phone.

It was a really hard choice for me. The deciding factors for me was that I preferred the vibrant screen on the SGS2 and I preferred Touchwiz. I think Sense is more elegant and better-looking but in the past I've found it a little obtrusive and seems to use up more of the phone's resources than Touchwiz.

I think they're both two amazing phones. It all comes down to personal preference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NCguy:
Did you try tethering or hotspot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oilfighter:
I definitely noticed the blue-hue on the Samsung. The screen's color temperature is too cold. I noticed this in Samsung's Amoled displays.

The screen does appear a little blury, especially compared to the Amaze 4G

Both of those factors made my eyes hurt after playing with the S II for about 30min. I walked away really disappointed, because I really wanted to like the S II.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Poser:
Regarding the screen brightness... For some reason unbeknownst to rationality... There are multiple brightness controls buried in multiple menus. when turned all the way up...this thing is blinding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
Tethering doesn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darkmx2000:
The Galaxy S2 is going to be easier to root and has there been anywore on a lock bootloader on the Amaze?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darkmx2000:
3 things 1) The front facing camera on the Galaxy S2 takes picks in 1600x1200. 2) There is no way I can understand how you see Sense on the Amaze being smoother then Touchwiz. 3) with the screen being darker did you make sure to adjust the backlight on the Galaxy S2 cause at full brightness you could mistaken the damn thing for a light house outside. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
I think he was trying to troll about the ffc and ffc doesn't need to be better than vga its only used for video calling. We all know no matter how it is htc cant program sense properly if their life depended on it.The S3 Qualcomm processor flies on this phone compared to the sensation and amaze 4g. There will be a color editor app there is one on the samsung galaxy 2 carriers decided to set it to cool like a tv i have no reason why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iunlock:
Well said.

I was the first to get the SGSII in my state (HI) this morning and before leaving the store spent a long while on the Amaze and SGSII.

I'm done with HTC. Touchwiz to me in my opinion is junk...It lags so much on simple tasks from when I had my MT4GS. Just the feel and experience of HTC annoys me now.

The Amaze having a better camera is a marketing gimmick. I took pictures with both, emailed it to myself and compared them in close detail. Being a photographer for over a decade I know that the SGSII has a kick @$$ camera.

The processor on the SGSII is noticeably more quicker than the Amaze.

Screen wise....no comparison. Obviously he didn't adjust the settings...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
coming from sensation which is the Amaze basically without the better camera and the extra Ram, i sat there for 30 minutes comparing my phone to the SGS2 and i can tell you i used to be hard core hater of samsung devices and i left the store and put my Sensation on e-bay. The brighter screen and bigger screen won me over and i had a custom rom and all the goodies on my sensation and oh yeah if anyone says this phone isnt smooth and fast as hell then they really need to play with a stock sense phone for a while .although the Amaze was really snappy for a sense device it still dont hold a candle to the SGS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jorge18:
I'm a big fan of vanilla Android so I hate sense and touchwiz. But after using touchwiz for a day or so, I have to admit its much better than sense.

I love my phone. Barring any physical issues, I won't understand how anyone wouldn't like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imnothimm:

Sharing my experience with the SGS2 and warning people about obvious screen problems is trolling?

I'm sorry? I'm just trying to help people who actually want to know if there are any issues with the phone they're debating on buying.

For me it wasn't even a question of which phone to get. I bought the SGS2(566.29$} at 09:11 and played with it until about 7pm. The low resolution on a stretched screen is what did it for me.

Sad, because the SGS2handles video through the hdmi MHL adapter much more smoothly

From your posts since phone came out, looks like you didn't like it so you bash it every chance you get. Referring the lines on the screen in like 3 different posts, on the amaze forum also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imnothimm:
I had the phone for 10 hours before I started posting anything bad about it.

So, clearly it wasn't since minute one of the phone coming out.

Yes, I'm clearly warning people about what was for me a definite deal breaker. I've also recommended people buy the SGS2, because they have 14 days to return it and exchange for a different phone with no 50$ restocking fee if they don't like it.

Many people are debating which one to buy and are asking about the experiences we've had. I'm telling people about my experience so they can make an informed decision and not regret it whichever phone they go with.

The sh!ttiest thing is that i'm pretty sure the SGS2 is going to have a better DEV community.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
maybe you just got a bad device, that is possible all phones arent created equal .
