[HTC Desire S] VVV84:
Sand is basically your screen's worst enemy. A single, suitable, tiny grain of sand can cut a really deep scratch on the screen if it gets rubbed against it in the right angle. You'd basically need a screen made of a diamond to be "sure" that it wouldn't scratch when in contact with sand and other hard objects (btw. sharpness is not an issue, the hardness is. You can try to scratch the screen with a knife and you propably wouldn't succeed, but use a small grain of sand and you've got a scratch for sure).

I had my phone out of my pocket on a beach ONCE during last summer and in that one single time it managed to get two visible, deep enough to feel scratches on it. Now it is protected with an Insmat screen guard and once it gets damaged, I'll buy another one, granted.

I came to the Desire S from an iPhone 4, had the iPhone 12 months almost with no scratches (and no screen protector). Within 3 weeks of having the Desire S the screen had a noticeable scratch at the top, I've treated the Desire S the same as I treat any phone (with great care), so not sure how it got marked so easily.

Screenshots!!!

I'm super super super excited!!!

I have known for over a year that all Samsung Android phones (with touchwiz) have a built in screenshot engine. The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out how to use it. I've even triggered it accidentally a few times on my Vibrant. There is no documentation on this feature but I finally stumbled across the answer while playing with my new Galaxy S II.

Please try this on some other Sammy phones and report back. I would love to find out if it works on all of them. :D

there's also another way to capture screen, something about tilting the screen and pressing something, forgot that part

[TouchPad General] Jinjur:
hey everyone,

new here so go easy ;-)

recently acquired a lummy tp for a moderate premium over the fire sale price, missed the boat there but live and learn eh?

must say, loving the experience so far, bar a couple of things.

firstly, most annoyingly.....I had a moderate oc applied to mine along with a few wee patches to zip things along a bit better. Only the 1.5 mind. I noted the webOS update but decided to hang fire until the kernels and patches were updated.......but, tonight I returned to my tp to find it had updated itself. Is that normal? Do we have any idea of eta`s of the updates?

secondly, I have noticed that when holding mine....my finger pressing against the back of the tp causes a slight crack/creak noise.....to me, it sounds like the inside of the rear is touching something sticky if that makes sense. Anyone else got/fixed that?

cheers

looking forward to being around a bit

Andy
[TouchPad General] derausgewanderte:
updates for patches and the uberkernel are being worked on at the moment. Matter of days until working ones are available you you'll see them in preware.

I hear the same snapping sound you hear and I agree that there is likely a doublesided tape or some elastomeric adhesive that the back plastic cover is touching and leading to that noise when it's released. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
Hey all,

I'm having serious battery drain on MIK 2.56 and pretty much any ROM that I flash. I'm running Chopsuey9.2.7 along with SetCPU profiles. I underclock the majority of the times.

My SetCPU profiles are:

Set on Boot = 691max/245min conservative

Charging = 1152/245 performance priority 100

Screen off = 245/245 ondemand priority 99

In-call = 1152/245 performance priority 98

Battery <50% = 691/245 conservative priority 97

Temp >43.7 degrees = 614/245 conservative priority 96

My evo doesn't like to be clocked at 128 or even 499. It reaches temps as high as 115-120 degrees during charging and while in my pocket (I'm thinking it may have got damaged when I used to run the SBC kernels in the early stages). Im starting to think that i have a bad battery. My battery will drain from 100% down to 80% within 5 minutes and usually will be dead within 2 1/2 hours after being off of the charger with moderate usage such as calls

text and checking email. I have Autokiller running and have set memory Lowmem settings to extreme thru Darktremor a2sd.

Any ideas/suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7jman:
I personally would stop messing with setcpu, its cool to see a phone all Super fast and what not, but isn't completely necessary to govern everything you do [calling, sleeping, etc..] I only find it cool to use when I'm playing a cool ass game like contract killer: zombies for nice smooth graphic, or running a benchmark.. otherwise messsing with setcpu tends to do awkward things like drain battery when not properly adjusted, **Especially when overclocked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
My stock battery lasts all day with my current setup. I have setcpu as well but don't really mess with it. I use Smartass governor with 1075/245 for normal everyday use. If I have too many drinks and have to crash at a friends house without my charger I'll drop the max speed to about 700 and use conservative or just switch the governor to powersave. Then I've got more than enough time till I need to get back to a charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SketchyStunts:
i got good life on that ROM using Aggressive Freedom kernel & using set cpu at 245/768 set at boot....no profiles.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
So you think the use of profiles is the issue? I'm not completely sure the profile for screen off is working correctly; I ssh'd into my EVO and took a look at /proc/cpuinfo but it will not show the current cpu speed.

I'll give it a shot without profiles and see. As for the govenors, I believe Smartass was removed and replaced with InteractiveX; is InteractiveX as good?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
I agree but with the way my profiles are set, I'm underclocking the majority of the time and only overclock when charging or on a phone call.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Could be your baseband or pri. Or maybe update ur prl through a sense rom.

If your phone has a horrible signal it will drain like crazy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That's correct. Also check your spare parts app for any wake lock.

Also, if you're using a havs kernel, setcpu will conflict with the kernel. And in general, you'll always get better battery life on AOSP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyours:
try using setcpu sometimes that will help save battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
Disabled Profiles in SetCPU....no luck

So I disabled profiles in setCPU and am underclocking at 691/245 and battery life is still the same. I have the most recent radios/PRI/PRL as well and still getting rapid battery drain. One weird thing it does is the phone will hit 0% and shutdown; I'll place it on the charger (AC wall charger, not the usb adapter) until the orange LED stops blinking; I'll turn the phone on and once it's fully booted it will read 53%......all of this within 5mins of going dead! WTF!!!

I just wiped battery stats again in recovery and will boot and see what that does for me. I'm really starting to think the battery is partially bad....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
Just left Sprint. They tested the battery and it tested bad and was swollen. I got a stock replacement free of charge although he said they normally would have charged me because the 1yr factory warranty expired. He also went on to say that the battery going bad was possibly caused from my phone being rooted which he may be partially correct. The problem began when SBC first came out and I was testing on the beta stage. It nice to have my phone off of the charger and not be down to 60% within 45 mins!

I briked my phone recently" after instaling chainfire 3D",i dont know what ROM version i had before that but i used ODIN to recover my phone ussing another version of ROM.I managed to find FROYO 2.2 available(support) for my country( Romania),but i noticed that mobile network is not working anymore(except Wi Fi),

before this mess the 3G ,GPRS or EDGE signal was present and i have the option to turn on or off the mobile connection,but now i cant do that anymore and i dont have 3G signal anymore,and I dont know why because i have the correct settings in APN. In "About phone" / "status" i have the following values:Mobile network type: UMTS or GPRS from time to time, and for Mobile network state is DISSCONECTED or Connecting from time to time.When i long press the end call button the Phone option appears and when i chose Mobile Network option (Connect to internet is OFF) it does nothing....Can anyone help me in this problem ?,some say that there is a secret code for service that test the 3G conecction but i dont belive that......?..For this reason(problem) i installed four different versions of ROM,and my best option is to manage to find a solution for the current ROM that i have)Sorry for my english or for my posible double post...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] P3rf3c7:
I found the official stock ROM i had before and fixed the problem with 3G signal,Is very important to use the correct ops file,i used EUROPA_I5508_v1.0.ops(because i'm an idiot) and the one i needed was EUROPA_I5500_v1.0.ops and i think that is one of the reason for the lost of 3G signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @MARK:
So I have waited and waited for this thing to launch. Constant out of memory issues on my ageing Desire but I have held out.

My big fear was that when this launched it would be huge.

And it is :(

So is this too big. Perhaps going for a Nexus S (which should get ICS soon anyway) would be the way to go but then with that big screen comes a big resolution and does that mean ICS is going to be sub par on anything with a smaller resolution display.

Choices choices choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remix2011:
Just buy SGS2 then it still is the best phone out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The SGSII is just about the same size as the GN....maybe a TINY bit smaller...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaredsk74:
You gotta remember that the Galaxy Nexus has no capacitive buttons, and a very small bezel along the screen. It's essentially the size of a standard 4 in phone. I wouldn't worry so much about the size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Not a standard 4" phone. Maybe closer to a 4.3-4.4" phone.

SGSII:

125.3 mm (4.93 in) H

66.1 mm (2.60 in) W

8.49–9.91 mm (0.334–0.390 in) D

GN:

135.5 mm (5.33 in) H

67.94 mm (2.675 in) W

8.94 mm (0.352 in) D

It's bigger than the SGSII, and the SGSII is a big phone (but thin, which IMO is actually worse because it's HUGE and absurdly thin at the same time).

The typical 4" phone is quite a bit smaller, and for me, more comfortable. Although the Amaze does fit pretty nice in the hand it itself is fairly massive.

Basically, what they did was take the body of the SGSII, take out the buttons and throw a .35" larger screen in there, while making the phone itself about 10mm longer, 1mm wider and even slightly thinner than the thickest of SGSII's but towards the top end. Note that the depth measurements are at the thinnest point of each phone. The phone has the same size screen and resolution as the SGSII HD which was announced for Korea in late September.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomhkkid:
But the GN tapers to 11mm which is thicker than the thickest point on the GSII
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Lol I can't believe you're unsatisfied with your Desire... I'm still on a milestone :( but if you can I would say wait until the SSG3 or a newer phone with better specs if you are unsatisfied with the underwhelming specs (e.g. 4 yrs old gpu). Or if you just want a smaller phone look at the SSG2 but don't just neglect the Galaxy Nexus because of how it looks on video, when it goes on display in stores you should head to your local best buy (or whichever store will have it on display near you) and at least try it out and get a feel for the phone. Just my 2 cents :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimiento:
I'm with you, I think it will be too big. It might not be as big as it sounds, but it will be a large phone, and once you add a case....

If it was 1/2 an inch smaller in height I'd be robbing old people right now to get some cash together for it. But the 5+" height leaves me a little ambivalent, I really dig the form factor of my Nexus One.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftr2k8:
Hey,

I've seen a few threads on this but nothing has solved my issue, so I resort back to you guys.

When I play music on my recently-updated-to-mango device (music in my collection, not from Zune store. Too many gaps in its library for me to buy a pass), it's not showing the artwork on the livetile or the lockscreen.

I've gotten the album info, where available, from Zune on my PC and re-synced the items onto my phone.

I've ticked the option in Zune to get metadata and replace missing info.

The tracks all have artwork.

On my phone, under settings -> Lock screen & wallpaper, I've enabled "Show artist when playing music".

However, All that happens is the music tile stays on the last Zune Store browsed artist, and the lock screen fades my wallpaper out to show the coloured blurry dots background. I have the playback controls available.

Like I said, I've seen a few topics about this, but the solutions all revolve around the above options, and they're all set as they should be.

Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremyshaw:
Have you tried browsing the artists in the Music+Videos application? To the point where it shows the Bios and the Related Artists tabs?

I've found until the WP7 device itself downloads the info, it won't show up on the lockscreen (I figured this may be true after one artists lockscreen/background image showed up for just about every other artist on my device, until I browsed around in all of them).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftr2k8:
I'm using Protest The Hero - Scurrilious as a test, and though the artist background is downloaded in the music tile in the background, and the marketplace link for the artist shows a number of results (including this album), but no luck :(

[Omnia 7 General] Heathcliff74:
Hi all,

Need some help here.

I've got my Omnia 7 for almost a year now. I always received an SMS notification when I got a new voicemail. Since recently this doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure when this stopped functioning.

I have recently updated to Mango. A while after that I applied the Samsung Mango update. I suspect one of those updates causes this, but I'm really not sure.

I do get other SMS messages.

I have tried to put my SIM in another phone, called myself, left a voicemail and got an SMS on that phone immediately. Also the other way around, I put another SIM in my phone, call the number of that SIM, leave a voicemail and I did not receive an SMS. This proves, the problem is with my Omnia 7.

I've tried Network Profile. Select another operator. Then select my own operator. Just to make sure all operator settings are applied.

I checked with my operator (dial voicemail and use menu). The SMS notification is enabled. I tried to disable the notification. Restarted the phone. Then enabled the notification again. Restarted the phone again. Still not working.

Anyone has another suggestion? Setting in diagnosis app? Registry setting?

Thanks a lot!!

Ok. Cool! Thanks for the heads up! So it's not just me. There are some OEM updates planned for next week (read that on WMPowerUser.com). Maybe that will fix it. I read the temporary fix might be to delete the "sms conversation" from voicemail number after each message. Will try that. Maybe WP7 sees it as duplicates or something.

Have just been going through same arguments with Optus in Australia.

Discovered there was an SMS waaaaay down the list of threads from 321 (VoiceMail) that had one message in it with the current date and time acurately showing the current number of messages in my voice mail box.

It seems that it is somehow updating the previous SMS rather than sending it as a new one.

For a temporary work around I discovered if you delete the SMS thread from your Voicemail then the next notification will be treated as a new SMS and will indicate accordingly. Unfortunately you have to delete the thread every time a new Voicemail is received.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mux_:
Hi all,

I've recently tried to update the Matr1x kernel to the 9.0 CFS version on my already installed NSCollab 1.0.50 mod. Unfortunately, this didn't seem to go so well, because my Nexus S (i9023) entered an infinite reboot loop. I was a bit surprised since a lot of people seemed to have no problems with this kernel, and even though I'm new to this stuff, I tried to follow all the guides & tutorials around.

Anyways, here's what I did:

- I downloaded the kernel on my phone from this forum;

- I used ROM Manager, selecting the "Install ROM from SD Card" option;

- I let the "Wipe Dalvik Cache" option enabled.

Once I experienced the reboots, I dropped into recovery and tried to re-wipe the cache & the dalvik cache several times, with no luck. I then proceeded to restore the backup I made before doing this...

Did I do something wrong or stupid? :-)
