[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hey there fellows,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 that I've been using since Froyo. As an accesory, I've always used the Motorola S9-HD A2DP headset to listen to music and take calls wireless.

The thing is that ever since I've started flashing GingerBread ROMs (stock), it started to mess up.

Let's begin to enumerate the issues:

1) After having the device paired, simple turning the headset on wouldn't connect to the phone (as it worked before 100%)

2) With the headset turned on, if I go to the Bluetooth menu on the phone and "click" to connect, it would say connecting and one of this things would happen:

- "Connecting..." would display forever until I shut the BT radio off

- It would connect and immediately disconnect, even sometimes the headset shuts down too!

- It would connect to one of the profiles: the audio one or the headset one, but not both

- 1 out of 50 times it would connect to the audio profile online and finally be able to play music through them

3) While the headset is playing music (i.e. connected), I turn it off, and sometimes Android keeps showing the icon as connected, for like 10 minutes, until it eventually times out

As you might guess, I've been searching since this arised for a solution, comment, similar behavior reported from other users, etc, without luck; neither here at XDA, Google or other related forums. I've found some *similar* stuff like car audios disconnecting but finally they fixed them or were some issues with the car app or something, unrelated to this.

This started happening ever since the first GingerBread I've flashed; now I'm on stock JVS and the same thing still goes on. I've tried before flashing any kernels (as stock as it gets) and this happens too. I've tried after flashing pretty much every kernel (to see if they somehow fixed this) and the problem persisted.

Let me be clear the the headset works great; if I use it with another phone (Nokia) it doesn't present any of these issues; neither did here before GingerBread! :(

So far, the only remotely possibility to use it fine and that works 95% of the times is:

1) Erase the headset memory of paired devices

2) Erase the phone memory of paired devices

3) Pair the device

As you can imagine too, doing this EVERY TIME I want to use the headset is an awful lot of pain! :mad:

Well, thanks for your time and for reading so far... any kind of pointer, advices, consolation :p that you can provide would be more than thanked for!

Best regards,

Anyone? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urban bumpkin:
sorry no solutions from me.....but I did incur a similar situation when I flash jvq stock (music player would stop playing music and make bootanimation sounds)before flashing over to re by darky.....since being on darkys the problem has gone.maybe try a custom rom!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Aykroyd:
That's a good thing I didn't try! I refrained from flashing a Darky because all the "extra" steps involved besides directly flashing the files from Odin and also the auto voodoo lagfix kernel that converts unless you put the files to NOT to on some directory... plus the "bloated" experience over a stock ROM.

I think I should try one though, and also think that the BT should work OK in stock too! First I'd like to confirm if it's a "known" issue with the Ginger ROMs or not...

Anyway, thanks for your advice, might flash Darky soon! ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codryn:
I have one small problem and I need some help. My phone book numbers must be in 1234567890 format but they are in 123-456-7890 format. Anyone else have this problem? I can`t use Viber because of those strings, the numbers are not recognised. My locale is English language with Romania country. What do I have to modify to get correct format? I tried to edit pcsc_pcsc_00001.vcf in notepad which is the backup of my contacts and remove the "-" between numbers but when I`m importing them in phone the "-" is still there. For something similar you can use Contacts Clean-up 1.2.3 but this does not resolve my problem because this app make 1234567890 to +0041234567890 for ex (you can put whatever country code you want) but I need only 1234567890.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Hi everyone

I know there are many threads on this but I cant seem to get my head round what I actually need to do.

I need to send my phone for warranty and of course I will need to unroot. I am currently running CoreDroid.

I have the RUU that I want to install, so please can somebody outline the various steps I should take in order to return my phone to factory state including S-on?

As I understand it, I need to

1: Install the RUU (By the way does this change the splash screen that comes before the boot animation as I have a custom one installed?)

2: As this will go to version 1.32, install Visionary and temproot

3: Run Jkolos S-off tool to change the CID back to stock and reset S-on

4: Not too sure here

So if somebody could please change and correct these steps I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
What I did was,

1. Flash the 1.32.405.6 RUU

2. PermRoot with Visionary+

3. Reboot.

4. Run Jkoljo's ENG S-OFF / Radio S-OFF tool to restore

-SHIP S-ON

-CID : HTC__001

5. Reboot

6. Reflash 1.32.405.6

After that you should have a Stock Desire HD running 1.32.405.6 Firmware with SHIP S-ON, Radio S-ON & a stock CID.

Your steps pretty sum up what I did.

I downloaded USB driver provided by ACER, and when it installed there were said that 3g something is installed. And in Control panel it is shown as Acer Iconia 3g Install. Could it be driver for 3g dongle or what?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Can you provide a link for the driver please? I'd like to see which one you installed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devorama:
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the display's color saturation and color balance? While the screen is eye popping to look at, the colors are not accurate. They are distinctly warm and oversaturated. This is great for looking at icons, but not so great for photographs. I know the international Galaxy S II has something called "background effect" where this can be set to 3 presets with varying saturation levels. But this option is missing on the AT&T SGS2. I found an app called Screen Adjuster in the market, but that only lets you increase saturation or change color balance by increasing the intensity of the Red, Green, or Blue values. There's no way to turn them down.

So has anyone figured out a way to adjust this? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwoodard73:
bump. also hoping to find a solution for this but not having any luck yet :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
+1 on this.. I am a professional photographer and I used to use my I4 to present my portfolio. As of today I can't do that, or I have to do re-do my portfolio specifically for the SGS2's display. Which I really don't wanna do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lolzerlol:
"app called Screen Adjuster in the market"

Thanks for this! At least with that the color temp is somewhat fixable, but overall colors are still terrible. As long as Samsung insists on locking these devices into torch mode we're just screwed. It's a shame that this didn't ship with several selectable profiles like the regular version (although I never seen it so dunno how good that implementation is.)

Working on hardware calibrated monitors all day and then looking at this phone is a bit jarring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I totally agree! My wife's iphone 4 looks way better with photographs. To me, photos on this phone look cartoonish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ljwnow:
LOL cartoonish
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetrobot:
This would be great. Caartoonish is exactly what it it. However, we need to keep in mind these displays are far from professional grade. I won't argue that some software could help bring a small level of 'professionalism', however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
I just read around the web that the international version of this phone has Settings, Display, Background Effects to calibrate?

------------------------------

Well I checked out Screen Adjuster and it has the ability to change R,G,B values along with the brightness and Contrast ... so that's enough to for me to use me Eye-One Pro to calibrate the screen. I just need to put grayscale and R,G,B targets to the phone.

This should work just fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] illmac:
can you post your settings when you calibrate it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
I also found this

Calibration Hack for Nexus One

Which I am now using. Since it has the grayscale bar built in. But this one requires Root access as you need to put the apk in to the /system/app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devorama:
Great find! Do you know if CM7 is a requirement for this? This may be the best option for color correcting the display.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devorama:
I just realized that with Screen Adjuster, you can change the color balance by adjusting the relative values of RGB, then turn the Brightness down to compensate for the elevated brightness levels. Without turning down the Brightness, the black pixels are no longer black. So it's a pretty decent solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dranakin:
Just got Screen Adjuster, are there any recommendations for "optimal settings?"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'll look into this - I'm surprised you find yours too warm, I think my phone is a little on the cool side - without a doubt bluer than my Infuse.

If it's supported by the I9100, I can probably find the relevant kernel interface. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
+1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
Problem is... just like calibrating a TV/Monitor is that it doesn't have High Bias and Low Bias R,G,B. High Bias changes the whites and Low bias changes the black.

Also, unless you plan on using your display at a constant brightness level, you will get color shift in the lower end of the spectrum

For what I have done is create an 18% gray jpg and a 82% gray as well as a 50% gray.

ON MY display the whites is on the warm side... but there is nothing one can do about it, because the apps just don't have those value to change

ON MY display the blacks are also very warm...

I WAS able to use my i1Pro (spectrophotometer, unlike the cheap colormeter) to get it pretty damn close to 6500k in the Black and Mid-tone.... again nothing one can do in the whites.

I am 90% happy with the results (I'm anal, but I can't do anything with the whites!)

My settings might get you close to 6500k (most likely not.. because ever display is different, and from what I see here some are too warm/cold..etc).. My settings are to use with Calibration from the Nexus One thread, and they are set up to have a warm mid-tone

Red: 627, Green: 623, Blue: 665

Mind you that I also am using CM's 7.1 with the brightness custom level set to my likings...

But it's night and day difference (if you are looking for realistic color representation). A lot of untrained eyes like the eye popping colors, while a calibrated display is much more subdued.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I keep getting a force close after I install the apk. What version did you use? The app installs fine and will open but when I try to adjust RGB, I get the forced close. Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I'm in the market for a new phone and I was on the brink of getting an Incredible S but I then stumbled across a lot of pages of people reporting reception problems which make the phone unusable. However, I'm always wary of pages dedicated to reporting problems as you get only problems reported and very few people reporting the good aspects.

So what I'd like to know is whether any Incredible S users out there have reception problems such as dropped calls, lost SMS, messages arriving days late etc? These are the things that I'm seeing people reporting but I don't know quite how prolific these issues really are.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
this phone, for me, has been absolute perfection (no issues). not that the phone is perfect (almost is), but it really is a perfect match for my expectations/needs/wants AT THIS TIME (i'm sure my needs/wants will change in a few months). and you are going to hear a lot of different opinions because everybody has different needs/wants. also, everyone is on different carriers and setups. there are just too many variables.

again, imo, this phone suits me perfect at the moment and there are no issues for me.
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I appreciate that there will be differing opinions about peoples expectations but hopefuly everyones expectations about how a phone should work as far as basic phone functionality shouldn't be too far apart - I imagine most people will want it to have reception when in known good reception areas without having to resort to bizarre hand contortions.

Things like camera and media playback are far more down to individual perception and as such I'm not overly interested in the majority of online reviews as they tend to deal mainly with the bells and whistles whereas I'm interested in the basic bread and butter functions which seem to be increasingly overlooked by phone reviewers.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
i absolutely agree. a far as basic functions go, i haven't had any issues that i can think of. it just works. but again, that could be specific to my setup and carrier.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Best phone I've ever had by far..
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The IncS has exceeded my expectations. I bought an unlocked Canadian Bell Mobile model on eBay and I am using in on AT&T network here in US. I have not had any reception issues, dropped calls or experienced delays in SMS messages.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
no issues, and so far the best fit phone for my needs. 4.0" display is just right for some1 to hold the phone and get the best of both worlds feel. and no reception issues or whatsoever. just the sms delay and call delay problem but that is rom problem. just make sure u get the froyo one then you're pretty much good to go
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
completely agree. had a 4.3" phone but felt just a bit too big/clumsy.
[HTC Incredible S] madbw:
This phone is awesome, dont have any problems with missing calls or sms. Only negative aspect for me is 4.0 display, it`s a bit big for me, next phone would be 3.7 or 3.5.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Really? The display is my favorite part I think!

It's absolutely perfect
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
i absolutely agree. the screen is the best part of the phone. it's beautiful :) and the size is perfect for me.
[HTC Incredible S] aviram83:
a great phone, also he dive into a bucket with water and survive it :)
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Phones amazing. Never experienced an issue and never needed to run a process that my phone couldn't handle. However using the stock ROM I did experience lag and slowdown yet after installing a custom ROM I've never experienced lag.
[HTC Incredible S] System92:
Just as others have said (although another voice could only convince you more :D), I have had no problems with this phone. Does everything I need it to do, and does it very well!

Officially recommended by System92 :cool:
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
With cm7 I feel like the phone is waiting for me, and I'm the one lagging lol
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
Best Android phone I've had so far, with excellent battery life on moderate usage (more than 2 days), screen is absolutely amazing, no lag so far, the stock Rom 2.3 is a bit dinky but that's ok as well. Bluetooth is absolutely great, I can actually connect and make phone calls with my car kit, with the phone in my pocket. Audio quality is great as well, the camera video recording is not what I was expecting, but I believe it's software thing...
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
I hopped in my roflcopter
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
OK, thanks for all the reassuring replies. I've just placed my order for the phone so it should be with me in a day or so. I'm guessing it will be newer stock though and that it won't be rootable at this point but as long as it is able to send and receive calls/SMS then I'm happy to wait and see if an unlock solution crops up.
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
The new stock isn't root-able?
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
I may have mis-read (I've read that many pages while deciding which phone to buy) but I was led to believe that the newer phones have a different version of hboot that isn't yet rootable.
[HTC Incredible S] rossio:
Am i too late??? Just want to share my story man. When im looking for a phone, my friend really deeply recommended Htc and he's using desire s. I was thinking, Htc??? So ok, i want to go for desire s too coz to me it looks nice untill theres no stock when im at the store. So my friend said, incredible s man. Get it!!! U wont regret it he says. What the??? I was wondering if hes really knows much about Htc. But, the price is higher then desire s here. A few days later i made up my mind, i get the incredible s. A few days pasts i realise, damn this phone is nice and a few days again, damn this phone is awesome... 3 weeks later i rooted it... Now, i loved my inc s... Fantastic!!! Thats my story man... Just hope i wont be kick out from here... Hahahaha...
[HTC Incredible S] Nabeeltanz:
I don't think its unrootable... Coz my friend too got from the new stock, it had 2.3.3 already so yes you won't have the pain to flash a radio as all new roms are now bases on GB 2.3.x

My friend s-offed and rooted in a day itself. (he was quick coz I helped him all the way :P )

The only issue he had was when he din know what a kernel does and randomly flashed what ever was there on the forum. And how did he end up? He was with a rooted phone for almost 2 weeks, and all he could do was look at the screen hahaaa.

He flashed some weird stuffs and his phone didn't boot up... And again I had to help :)

And yes the best part is the screen!!! Fits in one hand and doesn't make you a handicap while using it :cool:

Enjoy bro!
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
how i wish they release incredible s ii with dual core and adreno 220

har har har
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I agree. I wish HTC would realize that a lot of users prefer a 3.7 - 4.0 inch screen to the 4.3 and above that they continue to release lately.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
most manufacturers aims to win in the competition of "best manufacturer of the year".. so lets say X comes up with a 4.3" phone with dual core, then Y will release a 4.6" dual core, then after that, X might come up with another 4.65" quad core phone and the screen keeps getting bigger until when there's one point of time, when they realize phones arent meant to be big, only then phones will downsize.

by then, i think we already have octacore phones..
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
sgs2 is the top selling android phone of all time for a reason.

I think they are aiming towards the majority of market.

There are still smaller sized options but obviously they go where the money is

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
4.65" is including the part for "buttons" since they will be on the screen as there aren't any physical keys. so technically it isn't 4.65"

[Nexus S General] melterx12:
but is it really not coming out anytime soon?
[Nexus S General] 063_XOBX:
Depends on your definition of "soon".

As of right now it looks like it will be released around November.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
If you want a cynic's opinion, here it is: The Nexus S was old-hat before it was even released. The only benefit was the ease of unlocking and getting updates first, which sounds awesome until you realize that the initial versions of GB were massively buggy. I'd expect the same for ICS. Add to that the fact that HTC is making it so you can easily unlock all of their phones and the list of reasons why I would want one gets much, much shorter. Non-existent, in fact. I'm actively looking for a way to get my hands on a device with hardware that wasn't dated before the first model rolled off the line or wasn't succeeded months later by a phone with a key feature the original was lacking for a more than sub-par carrier. I've said it before, but to save you the trouble of reading it somewhere else, I should have learned my lesson about buying Samsung phones after the Epic 4g debacle but I didn't. I have now and I'll advise anyone against buying their POS devices.
[Nexus S General] melterx12:
what does gingerbread being buggy have to do with samsung?
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
I'd say before the end of the year is "soon"
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
When did I say it did? Never? Yeah that's the answer to that. See there are things called 'lists' where you mention many things that are all related to one other topic but are not necessarily related to each other. Like a grocery list. See cereal and baby spinach are not related to each other but they are both things I need from the grocery store. Just like GB being buggy and my hatred for the way Samsung treats its customers are both reasons why I wouldn't want another nexus device but they are not related to each other. Does basic sentence structure make sense now?

Sent from my Nexus S MV from the XDA Premium app.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I think he was confused (as was I) by the fact that your conclusion didn't really follow from your argument. You complained about the phone being outdated and you complained about gingerbread being buggy and then you ended by concluding that you shouldn't have bought a Samsung phone. But everything you complained of was Google's doing.
[Nexus S General] orrorin:
I just picked up an i9020t Nexus S knowing full well that the Nexus Prime is coming. You know why?

Refined Galaxy S hardware

Comfortable rounded edges (looking at you, captivate)

Great ROM support, with ICS on the horizon

Respectable battery life

Pretty freaking fast

So yeah, the phone's hardware is dated. However, the Nexus S is my favorite size and shape, and OC'ed to 1.2ghz with some speed hacks from different places, I can't even imagine wanting for more speed. Now, this is all my opinion, but you can land a Nexus S now for a reasonable price. So get one and have several happy months of hacking!
