Is there any way to get the phone dial keypad back to normal size?

I am at 190 and it is about 1/2 its original size.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SkeptiK21:
I love this screen just the way it is. Maybe later in about a year I'll jump on a screen comparable to the galaxy nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azsl1326:
Switch dialers? I had that issue as well and switched to Go Dialer, problem solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Lol I wondered about that too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Splaktar:
I also chose this phone for the resolution. Coming from the EVO 4G, the fonts and everything on the Amaze 4G's qHD screen just seemed too small for me. Maybe once I finally go to a qHD or 720p phone, I'll get used to it and wonder why I didn't switch sooner. But for now, I'm quite happy with the resolution on the SGS2.

Screen resolution and backlight Korea vs China

Just rec my latest exchange:

1st 2 phones made in Korea 10/ 29 and 30 / 2011 - returned them due to very bad speaker quality - voices too crackly and low, the higher I put vol the worse distortion.

I easily noticed the blobs and lines, used all methodes to verify poor screen quality.

Poor bat-> less than 1 day = 5 calls and maybe on web for 10 min max, bat drain on 1st 2 phones

3rd new set from China- "NO EARBUDS", Tmo is no longer including them. *just a heads up...

*Main issue- screen/display very low- total diff from korean manuf. as doc on box and inside under bat.

I kept 2nd Korean manf phone to test against newest China manuf set.

Set on lowest display level and the C-made version display was barely lit -thus-making it difficult to see the "blobs and lines", checked power usage - both using the SAME AMOUNT OF POWER for display but the C-built version was very DIM at all equal settings. "turn display up to equal K-version...

Camera pics where also dif, the C-version was better but I had to keep cranking up the display setting to see images, also just to use the phone.

No- I didn't take screen shots I'm a NOOB but I do know how to go through settings and make sure usage was exactly= power usage was the same for both, but the display was to dark on the C-version but the ext speaker was clearer. Not sure what Sammy is doing- but quality and uniformity is not there. & NO neither has the updates- both stock. Just an observation and a heads up !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Damn, no more earbuds with this phone? These are actually good earbuds Imo.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demonwind:
I don't know what you're talking about, the blobs/lines are more noticeable when the screen is dim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
I am coming from a Sensation also and I can honestly say I don't mind the lower resolution. The resolution on this screen is NOT low. It is not as high as other phones, but it is not by any means bad. I like how everything is actually bigger, as you know, things should be on a bigger screen. On the Sensation, the keyboard was actually SMALLER on its 4.3 inch screen than on my 3.8 inch MyTouch 4G! Yes I actually held them up side by side and checked! Also the 16:9 aspect ratio found on the Sensation and on the 720P is no good for phones. That aspect ratio is called wide screen because it's meant to be used in landscape mode for watching movies. The problem is that most people use their phones in portrait mode like 80% of the time. In portrait mode 16:9 is too long and narrow. I prefer the wider screen on this phone myself. All in all I'm really liking this screen as it is beautiful with rich vibrant colors, and dark saturated blacks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] poesraven:
maybe I'm using wrong terms

When I say the display is low= the back light on the screen= if its set to the same exact brightness setting > either manually or using the auto mode - the new C-made screen is much dimmer than the one made in K. This may be the reason I can't see lines and blobs on the newer C-made version. I can see the diff with both phones in a darkroom setting, I must turn the brightness up on the C-made phone to equal the K -made phone: But in doing so it also increases battery usage. This may have been an attempt to not show the lines and blobs on newer sets made in China ?? Its just a thought... thanks

This is a beautiful app! It breaks certain functionality like dragging items off the main pages, but for normal use, the effect is wonderful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
with these programs you aren't changing screen resolution you are changing the dpi. the screen res stays the same your icons and text changes.

same thing happens if you change the dpi in windows
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] incgnito:
no MHL

After reading this thread I was hoping to use this app with an MHL adapter so that when I hook up a monitor it doesn't look like I'm freaking blind; turns out setting any dpi other than the default breaks MHL :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilshortomi:
The apps doesn't actually change the resolution.

[HD2 General] adriantannerisb:
My HD2 running CM7 has been having some problems with its MicroUSB port for a while now. It will only charge if the cable is in a certain position. However I recently wanted to install WP7, so I booted into Magdlr and tried to enter USB flasher mode, but it wouldn't connect to the computer, even when it was in the position that it would charge in, so my flashing kept failing. I'm fairly certain this is a hardware issue, so I don't really know what to do. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Any ideas what I could do? Thanks.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
The USB port in comming loose from the board, it a repair job that you need some skill for

In the UK you can get it done from about £20, or try using the warranty, but it may not be covered as they don't fall off on their own :(
[HD2 General] Enokrad:
Most likely what johnerz said, but have you tried using a different USB cable?

had that problem in the past and a different wire solved the issue.

It seems I deleted the update.zip file. I cant mount external sd card via Clockwork. My phone just sits at the startup screen. I would flash a new rom but I cant get to the external storage. I can flash a stock kernel but then cant flash a rom.

Can someone PLEASE post the stock UPDATE.ZIP file found on the internal storage so I can update my phone? Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ioos:
Why don't we just let these posts fall off of the front page instead of everyone trying to be vigilante moderators. Bumping these threads is almost as bad as starting them. (And yes I am aware that's what I'm doing right now, but it is all the way at the top.)

EDIT: Ok, I'll be helpful too. update.zip attached.

[HTC Salsa] heppski:
Hi, can anyone help

i recently bought am HTC salsa in China, only problem the Market place is defaulted to China and I'm English and want access to other app other than Chinese app. several people i know with HTC which were purchased outside of china have access to apps which are not available on my current location default

how can i change the default location for the market place
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
There's something on these boards showing away of changing your market ability to purchase or download out of area apps. Failing that, flash a standard version from the boards if u have root see of that unlocks it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sam.assad:
hi I came across a nice app similar like Siri Assistant ...which is i found it on rootzwiki forum thanks for them and i would like to share it with u guys

if u like it hit thanks ..

thanks

All u have to do is search the market for speaktoit assistant

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant&feature=search_result
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] neh4pres:
Well? Where is the link?

Sent from the fascinate that holds the record on antutu benchmark
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] djfrost17:
nice!!

does anyone know if this works through blue tooth?? so i can use it while i drive?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Jimi Mack:
That is not bad, though I find it slow. You can also try the one listed on the Market called Voice Actions. Does not have the graphic interaction of Speaktoit but works faster and smoother from me trying both out each for a couple of weeks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NuclearEMP:
Check out iris. (alpha)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DarthCivicus:
I installed iris and it says I have no speech input, when I press the button nothing happens. I'm running espresso ROM.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jamesjones52:
You have to have voice search installed. And also Pico tts, I hope that helps.

I'm on espresso as well.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] droidstyle:
Imo voice search is all you need. right now these other programs are not much better than voice search. all you benifit from these voice apps is a robot voice that talks back to you.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
Here's a trick that's work in progress.

Market doesn't work reliably I find. It loses my device and having it fully running seems to deplete the battery (?). It would be much nicer if we could just download the apk and push it over using `adb install foo.apk`.

Unfortunately most sites presume the ability to use a browser on the device and don't recognise Opera. Some try to use the browser agent ID to identify what device you have and use that to download, in the process trying to harvest a phone number or a email from you (probably which they later resell to spammers).

What we can do is pretend to be another 2.1 device. To do this:

Use user agent switcher for firefox.

And switch to the following user agents IDs:

http://www.gtrifonov.com/2011/04/15/google-android-user-agent-strings-2/

such as the Nexus:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; Nexus One Build/ERD62) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

I haven't got it to work yet, is it javascript? You may have better luck on other sites. I've only tried AndroidZoom.

Let us know how you get on.

-j
[Nook Touch General] dhkr234:
Won't work. Android market only provides actual application files to the market application, which uses a series of encrypted authentications. You can't "spoof" it with a user-agent.

The only thing you CAN do with a browser, is BUY applications -- you still have to go through the market application to actually install them though.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
Possibly another way could be using Android_x86 to grab a .ipk:

http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?12997-Android-Market-on-X86-Yay......

...or using virtualisation as that is x86 rather than arm
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lakeshow423:
Does the Amaze have the same battery as the Sensation? Thinking of switching but want to keep my ankers if they do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ben200451:
Just read a review for the Sensation anker battery on Amazon.

"i bought this battery for my Sensation but i ended up exchanging my sensation for the Amaze before the battery arrived in the mail. I Tried to see if this battery will also work and my HTC Amaze and it did. Nice Battery"

So I'm thinking it does.

[HTC Amaze 4G] vikramdhani:
Nope Amaze has a 1730 battery which is bigger than sensation battery for sure
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
Yeah the stock battery is bigger but the Ankers batteries do fit and seem to work just fine but I can't say for certain that there would be n

o long term problems caused by using it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lokks:
Owners of the Amaze have used the sensation anker battery and it works
[HTC Amaze 4G] vikramdhani:
Well why to use another battery when people have not even used to phone long enough to be able to know if they need extended batteries
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheHeffNerr:
Only thing that worries me is my battery is marked as 3.8V and the anker is 3.7V :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
Built in undervolting! Lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
Not to worry, it charges at 4.1+ volts. I don't know why they list it at 3.8v, but Li-ION batteries in general have a nominal voltage of 3.7volts. I'm sure that's just a misprint/misunderstanding.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
Hey found a 2800mah slim battery for the sensation so this would fit in the amaze correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
If it's the same size as the regular battery, than unless there has been some major discovery in battery technology I doubt it is actually 2800mAh

However, please keep us posted if you get one.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Bigv69er:
IF it has a special cover... wouldn't it naturally be bigger than the original one
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
Is that 45 bucks ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Digitaldreamer7:
Yea, a special cover that fits the sensation.. probably not the amaze. Since the amaze's antenna is built in to the cover it's probably not going to work
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
$49.99 at Best Buy. I think some people have posted getting it for less on either this thread or the seidio battery thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
thats 2 much for a battery if you ask me ... id prefer buying 2 stock ones and swapping them out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
I agree that it is quite a bit for a battery. However, I figured since I paid as much as I did for the phone, I might as well shell out a little more for a battery that I don't have to recharge every day.
[HTC Amaze 4G] FranzDages:
Check out the anker battery thread. I don't know if is as good as the seidio, but it's also 1900mAh and only $15.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mystikal87:
Yeah for those who don't know by now

The Ankler 1900mAh battery for the Sensation works on the Amaze.

Also, the stock 1730mAh Amaze battery works in the Sensation.

How I found out? My wife stole my Ankler and switched the batteries without even letting me know... smh:mad:
[Dell Streak 7] dgdlc1:
First some back-story:

Me and two other friends (we all live in Mexico) bought one dell streak 7 each, we bought them really cheap from Amazon Warehouse Deals and they're locked with t-mobile.

We want to unlock our streaks 7 and we already tried services like Unlockstreak and sending and email to unlockcoderequest@dell.com and the only option left is calling dell for the unlock codes but dell tells us that we should call t-mobile for the unlock codes and t-mobile tells us that we should call dell. :mad:

So instead of calling dell ourselves (international calls are expensive), we're looking for someone (feisty :p) that can get the codes for us, since i have no patience at all when i call them and whenever some indian guy answers i'm always like ":confused: excuse me, can you repeat that? :o", anyway... if someone's interested, how much will you do it for?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I don't sympathized with you... talk about expensive... I had to call from Costa Richardson and it took an hour to get the code from Dell... plus they are gonna need purchase info and such to make sure its not tlocked to a contract so only the owner can call anyway
[Dell Streak 7] dgdlc1:
Thank you for your input.

I know that they're going to need the purchase info, and i will provide all the info needed to the person that is brave enough :D to deal with dell support, but the problem is that the dell streaks 7 are used (but like new), so i'm not even the the first owner and "Amazon Warehouse Deals" doesn't have the unlock codes nor the previous owner info...and that's the conondrum.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
If you don't have the original owner's info you can just about forget getting an unlock code because it's the first thing DELL is gonna ask for because that info is linked to the service tag. Amazon shouldn't have sold them to you without that info on hand and you shouldn't have received them withouth that info either.

There is only ONE workaround that I know of to rather fool the system... which is sending the tablet off to DELL for "repair", they will take your information as the owner, when you get it back it will be locked, BUT you will then officially be registered as the owner of the device linked to that service tag number, they will then give you a code...

Beyond that I'm sorry fella, without the original owner info, you ain't gettin' an unlock code... at least it has happened to me with 3 tablets I was repairing for clients. They bought them used, had no proof they were off contract because they didn't get the info from original owners, to this day they are still locked, they can only use them as wifi tablets
[Dell Streak 7] medseven:
Mate you've got just as much right of ownership whether you bought it 2nd hand or not.

I live in the UK, i bought my dell from ebay 2nd hand, rang support many times, just jipped thru the 'why dont you try and collect as much personal info from me as possible' with a yea mate, give me what I want to know that you already know.

PM me, I will get your unlock code...
[Dell Streak 7] dgdlc1:
that sucks balls

Really?, well that sucks; the last time i tried i only got as far as the dell people trying to change the owner information if i send them the amazon receipt, but then there was some problems with their email and i had to send it to other department and wait until monday because that department didn't open on weekends, and when i contacted them on monday, some other guy answered me and blew me off.:mad:
[Dell Streak 7] dgdlc1:
i just send you a PM
[Dell Streak 7] chimstar:
don't give up i just called dell mobility (number is on their website) and i have a used streak 7 long story short i told them i was gonna travel abroad i bought the tab used they first tried getting me to call tmobile i told them i tried and that tmobile wanted me to start a plan and wait 3months i told her i had no interest in using tmobile as i would be out of the states she then asked for service tag which was on the box of the streak i bought she went ahead put me on hold then came back told me she was working on the transfer of ownership asked all my info after a 1/2 hour call she said she did everything but the code dept was at lunch lol anyway she asked if i cared for a call back or email with the call i told her email me it. an hour later i got email with code. so it can be done its how you interact with them and stay firm they can do it! hope this helps as anyone that needs to unlock their device for free.
[Dell Streak 7] dgdlc1:
Thanks for answering

I actually already unlocked my streak 7, just didn't want to update and bump an old thread, here's how to do it:

1.- do a ownership transfer, by filling this form and since i didn't had the original owner info i had to put "No Information" on the required fields about the last owner info.

2.- Call Dell from your country (in my case, Dell Mexico) and ask them for the unlock code, if they don't have it then ask them to put a note (on the service tag or the system or whatever they use) telling Dell USA to give you the unlock code because they don't have it.

3.- Call Dell Mobility and explain that you already called Dell from your country and they don't have the unlock code and tell them that they put a note in there telling them to give you the unlock code, also tell them that you already called T-mobile and that you already have authorization from T-mobile for Dell to give you the unlock code.

i think the unlock dept. is open until 05:00 pm (central time), also, i did all the calling from Skype, the calls to 1-800 numbers are free.

Another bit of info, I have the HTC inspire 4G and all other roms for the desire HD run fine when I flashed them.

Is this a problem with the rom or could it be because of the differences in phones?

OK, found out that with my mobile data disabled it won't work. Now that I know of a way to make it work, I have another question. Other roms allowed me to disable mobile data and it would just use it automatically when I sent pictures, any clues as to why cm7 won't work the same way?
