See I don't understand this statement because it happens with ANY video/movie I watch with my x2. Have even viewed highly rated quality movies from "certain nameless " websites and get the same problem.

The only thing I don't really get nearly as much.pixilation while viewing is quality videos on youtube when viewing in high quality mode ((go figure))

Even when I was complete stock unrooted and rented a movie from google market I got the same problem.((I can't remember how constant it was but I KNOW pixilation was there))

Also im not really speaking of my videos I recorded.((of which I had great quality and playback was great also when atv720p and DVD quality )) but that was when using blur camera...I haven't tried any video recording on eclipse miui camera yet
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Too many variables are involed with streaming. Every company may say streaming is the way to go when its not. Your internet connection, how many people are streaming on Netflix, plus SD vs hd, settings in Netflix, crappy HDMI chord. Bought an HDMI chord from an August zed retailer for Verizon and everything was pixilated. Didn't even get to the video when I saw how bad it.was.I just unhooked and returned. Rent or download the video. That's how you get the best quality. Streaming is 50/50 usually better hardware also makes the difference. Its probably recognizing that its mobile and is giving you crap cause they need to make sure their videos need to work within the fragmentation of android as a whole. Best to leave streaming on laptops hooked to your HDTV and streaming on mobile on you cellphone screen.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The thing is the "blurry" picture on the tv screen looks EXACTLY like the image on my phone screen. It is an exact mirror. Im trying to figure out if there is a way I can fix that.

It was worse on eclipse 7. Something in one of the init.d scripts caused my gjjellyfish test to max at 22fps and my mandlebrot score to be horrific. So now that those are back to normal it doesn't happen as often but it is still noticeable. Just wondering if there is a way to improve that.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Do you get the problem with a video file on the phone itself? Cause so far all I can say is that blur is from the servers if it is not happening with the video file on the phone. I don't stream Netflix on my cell and when I used the mirror to an HDTV it looked horrible on TV but perfect on my cell.

It streaming depends with the host servers and overall quality of the video for mobile since they most likely won't be the same video files for computer's cause they meed to make sure it can stream on a 3g network and have the customer not die from old age waiting for it to load. Even though you use wifi it will still send the IP of a mobile which will get you the mobile version which may not be as good.

Only fix is to stream over a laptop instead. If you went through the apps and this did nothing then there is nothing you can do on your end.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Has anyone tried using dolphin hd spoofed as a desktop to see if they can stream from netflix website? I think I may try this later on to see if that helps anything ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justrome0:
Okey, my problem is this.

I have installed the phone locator beta from their website. Like the name says it's an app to see where your phone is if it gets stolen, wipe it through sms and do some other stuff. I did not manage to finish the application setup cause I got a phone call during the process. After that I'm locked out of the phone and the phone screen keeps shutting down. It instantly shuts back down after I turn it on. It stays on for like half a sec sometimes, sometimes less. I have managed to uninstall the application through adb to no avail. I have made a backup through recovery also hoping I will be able to restore it without getting the same problem.

But it appears that if I restore the data I get the same thing happening.

Other things I have tried:

Reflashing ROM. It's the stock one from Vodafone.

Reflashing CF-Root Kernel.

Trying to figure out which process I have to kill through adb. But I'm not experienced enough with this to do it.

Trying to remove everything about the app I find out. Still did not work.

Anyone has another idea. I really had a lot of data I don't want to lose.

Thank you.

Update: Solved in post 3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
What I would do is enter recovery mode. From there mount usb storage and transfer everything that's important to PC. Then wipe everything, format system, format sd card and reflash a ROM through CWM. Obviously mount again usb storage to push the ROM from PC to sd card. Maybe it's a little drastic but I can't think of anything else since I'm not a pro user or anything. Well, just an idea.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justrome0:
Hey thomas. Thanks a lot.

I think that's a great idea. At least it's something I did not try and might work well.

I just found out that you can enter usb storage from recovery, right now it seems I can only see the /mnt/sdcard partition. I will play with it a little to see if I can mount the other partitions before mounting USB. I think the application data is in /data/data am I right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justrome0:
Okey I have managed to fixed it in the most stupid way possible.

I have noticed that if I leave the screen off for like 15 seconds then I get like 2 seconds window before the screen turns off again. I have managed to go to the screen timeout settings and it seems like the application changed that to a very low value as none of the defaults value were ticked. I have ticked the 1 minute value and now the screen stays on.

I have uninstalled the app and I'm really afraid to test it again :) I should probably make another backup in this state :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] L Eric:
So I rooted my phone and was thinking I would flash to CM7. I decided to backup using Titanium Backup. I decided, stupidly, to "move to SD card" all my apps that aren't system apps. Now my phone keeps booting up, scanning for media and then rebooting constantly. What should I do?

Thanks for any help!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
boot into recovery (phone off, hold vol up vol down and power until galaxy screen comes on, then release power until recovery comes up), wipe data/factory reset, and then flash whatever you want from there. you will have to re-install your apps (either fresh from the market or with titanium again, if you still have them on your phone).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] L Eric:
Well that works, I'm in CWM but now when I try to click the wipe data/factory reset (using the power button right) it just highlights the background icon and everything else disappears.

Nevermind, home button is the correct way to do it. Thanks for the help!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dave.emuobo:
Whew, my first post here and am really enjoying good stuffs and i mean cooked roms .

its just that some android hd2 roms especially those based on other non htc firmwares (like nexus one), dont connect to htc sync and i want to know if there are workarounds.(didnt see any)

I really like the miui roms with their speed but i cant seem to get them to sync with htc sync.Any ideas?

ps:By the way, htc sync is installed in the firmwares.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwchips:
HTC Sync is only available in Sense based roms, and in my opinion it sucks. There are better alternatives out there, for example MIUI has backup built in, some users swear by titanium backup and you can backup the whole system from recovery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:

[HTC Sensation] michaelbeers:
Ok where to begin...

I got a Sensation last thursday 10/6/11. Absolutely loved the phone. Loved everything about it. how it felt and looked and how it ran and literally everything. A couple days later i got dust under screen. Just one little spec but enough to bug me. I took it back that Tuesday the 11th. They exchanged it no problems. Went back to work and started setting it up. Had a bigger piece of dust out of the box! So I went back later that day after work to get a 3rd. They guys there were real nice but said we can get you another phone but who knows what will happen. So the next day I got the Amaze. The phone is great. Everything the Sensation had only a little better performance wise. Not a lot but you could tell. Although I still like the feel of the Sensation a lot better. BUT...... right now the wifi calling is not supported and the phone needs an update but no one knows when this will happen. And I NEED wifi calling. I don't know how I got by before!

So to get to the point my big question is do I wait for the Amaze update to get wifi calling or go back to a Sensation praying that I get a dust free phone?
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I can't solve your problem but I can tell you that the chances of you getting dust under the screen of your next sensation are extremely high.

Many of us are plagued with it. Some have exchanged their phones 5+ times and got dust under the screen on all of them. I'm personally on my 3rd one and this one has the issue as well. At this point I just don't care enough to keep replacing/rooting them for just a couple small specs of dust.

I played with the Amaze yesterday and was not impressed with it at all.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
I might get the Amaze soon. I can sell the Sensation and probably come.out with a little bit of cash with the swap. I got a hookup at tmobile to upgrade anytimw lol. They already have temp root in the development section. Its a nice solid looking phone with nice features!
[HTC Sensation] michaelbeers:
Did you ever get dust under your screen or have any problems with call quality?
[HTC Sensation] Nick L:
I would say keep it. T-Mo seems proud of their wi-fi calling and I'm sure that they won't let their new flagship go without it for very long.

I considered waiting for the Amaze but IMHO the new features weren't worth the extra money. I did exchange my first Sensation due to dust yesterday (so far so good on the new one but it's only been a day), but neither had problems with call quality.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Just wait for the prime
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I like the look of the S4G more!
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
i myself have been considering returning the amaze and getting back my sensation. although i don't see any serious issues with the amaze, i feel like the only differences in the 2, besides the look and feel, are software differences, which can be easily solved by a ROM. I think the 2 have the exact same hardware, but i could be wrong, if im wrong someone please let me know what the hardware differences are. i know the amaze is 1.5 ghz compared to the sensations 1.2 ghz, but if im not mistaken its the same exact processor just clocked higher... Also, ive been considering going back to the sensation solely for the fact of how many great dev are developing for the sensation.... what to do, what to do....
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
The Amaze has the 42 mbps modem and here in Detroit I was pulling 14 mbps down consistently. Also has more RAM which will hopefully take care of the Sense restarts. I want the Amaze but like the OP, I absolutely need wifi calling. Zero signal at work.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
How do ppl get dust under the screen? Do u ppl leave ur phone like in dirty dust places?? Ha. No dust here at all

Isn't the SGS2 the flagship? Not that I'm a Samsung fan, but I think it is.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Hey all..... Sadly my Desire's screen won't turn on.... I'm not much of an afficianado yet with this phone. It is a CDMA US Cellular desire....

If I put my phone into fastboot mode and plug it into my PC the pc recognizes the device..... the screen just never turns on.. whether I turn on my phone or go into the bootloader or anything.

Not too sure what can be done. Any help would be very appreciated.

When in fastboot mode plugged into pc, I type fastboot devices and it is recognized.. so not too sure what is going on.

Thanks in advance...

*edit- also.. when off.. and charging, the led light works...

I think a GSM Hboot might have been flashed on accident..... Would that make sense?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
AFAIK there's no such thing as "gsm" or "cdma" hboot.

Did you follow Alpharev's flashing procedure through all the steps?

EDIT:

I may be wrong.

Maybe try flashing hboot you used previously?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Where can I get a previous hboot? That's what I'm trying to figure out...

I went here:

http://alpharev.nl/

and flashed the bravo stock hboot...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
I'd try to use Revolutionary first.

If this doesn't help- flash bravo_downgrade.img- it is supposed to allow stock hboot flashing- and then correct RUU for your phone. This however will revert your phone to stock firmware.

Double check this info first, if I'm wrong you will have a brick

Thunderbolt user here, I'm helping out a buddy of mine boost the battery life of his stock Evo.

What I have planned is:

Root the phone

Get rid of all the bloatware

Use setcpu to tweak the performance settings

Optional:

Custom Kernel so I don't need to use setcpu

^^^ I do this because he would be able to update to a new stock kernel if sprint releases one. If I'm not around him few months down the line. He's a novice, but if I can I'd show him how to do the other stuff.

What I'd like to do is:

Find a nice custom sense 3.0 rom (very stable and nice batt life)

^ There's a bunch of those, does anyone have a good opinion on a nice sense rom?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can try the team nocturnal kinged shooter rom runs great; as for sense kernels, not sure, as I run aosp personally. Also, you'll have better battery typically on aosp.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaghetti_monster:
I would choose AOSP instead of any UI except for sense 3.0+, I prefer it a lot more. They seemed to of done quite a nice job :).

One question though, can I turn S-ON by just flashing a stock RUU in the boot loader? Ohh I forgot, can I update clockwork mod updates via the app and not the revolutionary one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Naw, you'll have to flash all the appropriate mods prior to running the RUU. That'll give you a stock rom, s-off, with no root access, til you re-flash a recovery.

Like he said, its a feature, not a fault. The power button locks the controls while in video mode. You should see a lock appear in the top right. If you want to turn off your phone while playing video you need to exit the video first.

I just got my TMobile Galaxy S2 and I can't get the Android Email app (Gingerbread 2.3.5) to allow me to use "recent mode".

For the incoming mail settings, you are supposed to put "recent:email@domainusinggmail.com" instead of "email@domainusinggmail.com", but when validating it returns a "username/password are incorrect" error. If I remove the "recent:" prefix but keep all other settings the same, the username/password are properly validated.

I researched this for 30-45 minutes and found a handful of other folks with the same problem (some dating back to early 2010), but there was never a solution.

Is "recent mode" just not supported on the Android email app?
