[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matee89:
Hi there!

I've got this problem since few days now. The issue is that when i try to plug in the charger while my phone is off, it will start-up and start charging then. It could be charged while off before on the same rom I've used. I was using Galnet's MIUI. I thought that it might be a bug or something so i did install the version from miuiandroid.com and unfortunately the problem still exists. I've wiped data, cache and dalvik before installing the new one ofcourse. Any tips?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matee89:
OK, thanks for clearing up. Well, I still cannot find any solution to fix the off-charging. I would really appreciate any tips for fixing it up. Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
MIUI and CM7 is build that way. It's not a bug. The devs don't think phone should be off while charging...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matee89:
Hey droidphile! Thank you for your answer. I have searched alot on the internet about off-charging. seems like many people have it like this. It is only strange that one day it was off-charging and next time it couldn't on the exactly same rom. Well .. I can live with it if it's a normal behaviour. Thanks

I have a nexus one, running CM7.1. My question is that is there a way of removing the stock native apps like the messaging app, the browser, galary, music player or camera? Because i use PowerAMP, GoSMS, Dolphin DH Browser and i don't need the native apps, is that possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
I don't think third party apps can working properly without those system app. But you can give it a try by freezing those system app by using titanium backup.

All since I upgraded from my Xperia X10 to Xperia PLAY, there's one thing I've been really missing.

That! ----------Right there

Having all my necessary toggles available right in the notification bar. No menu work, no power-draining widgets, just sheer convenience. Is there any way to do that without CM7 or any other rooted ROM? I do know about this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en

But, on my phone, it only brings up menu work instead of just immediately activating the function.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Yes there is a way check out the arc themes and app section its in there buddy made it for multiple firmwares and it looks really good too!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
I use this app but not the all-in-one part of it - so have each toggle listed as separate line - they work straight away without going into any menus. Hope it helps

[Android Apps and Games] corgar:
difference with this one?

adfree
[Android Apps and Games] dind84:
I had problem with adfree in the past, so i wrote this app.

I think they works in the same way ;)
[Android Apps and Games] xdaid:
Sure you may have done a good job but..

any developer is free to decide about putting ads, it's a way to be rewarded for the efforts and the time spent. If you don't want ads you should get ads-free apps instead of using or achieve ads-blockers.

This kind of stuff will force many developers in publish more paid apps.

Just my opinion..
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
Will try this app. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dind84:
I understand exactly your point of view...

I don't like so much all these applications with ads inside it, I think that it's very annoying, this is the reason why i buy all the applications i really need!

I made this app because maybe someone wants to remove ads from apps.

This is my opinion! :)
[Android Apps and Games] vauge:
I do not understand, adfree doesn't work or you had a problem with it?

Where are you getting your source host file?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dind84:
It doesn't work on my phone.

[Android Apps and Games] abtxpress:
I've never had a problem with adfree by bigtincan. But sometimes ads slip by. I will give this a try.
[Android Apps and Games] abtxpress:
Even if I didn't have ads blocked I never once clicked one. I do understand why app have them, but rather their there or not, I don't click them. I am sure many others don't as well. And people who root their devices, which is like 5% at best, are the only ones who can block ads anyways. And if I like or use an app I usually by the full app for all functions.

Just my opinion....
[Android Apps and Games] dind84:
I agree with you!
[Android Apps and Games] thebrainkafka:
Is it working for i9001 ?

Adfree and Adaway are not working on this device.
[Android Apps and Games] dind84:
I haven't tried it on your device!

Try and let me know if it works! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
And any user is free to decide if they want to block them or waste their capped bandwidth on them.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:

[Android Apps and Games] daredj:
I hate ads on my mobile! even i use a free version, on some apps (like angry birds) causes freeze and it makes impossible play.

[Android Apps and Games] theyurtingyeti:
I have adfree and it's pretty good... can you have more than one ad blocker for more coverage or will they interfere with each other?
[Android Apps and Games] Towle:
This just makes it so the user doesn't see the ads.. Technically they are still there, so the developer isn't affected in any way.
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
If the ad-mechanisms used were any good then I wouldn't be prone to blocking the ads. Problem is that due to such poor design, much of the time the ads consume more bandwidth (and other resources) than the app you're trying to use - and can eat your battery WAY WAY faster.

http://www.newscientist.com/article...t-up-your-phone-battery-just-sending-ads.html

"...Up to 75 per cent of the energy used by free versions of Android apps is spent serving up ads or tracking and uploading user data: running just one app could drain your battery in around 90 minutes..." - so HELL NO I'm not going to allow ads to run on my device!

Make something that doesn't eat all my monthly allocated bandwidth in two days or drain my battery in 2 hours then I won't block.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Did you try adaway which is both open source and allows you to add your own blocks in an easy manner?
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
Have you tried adway it's way better for blocking ads

[Flipout and Charm General] alexoo:
My wife's got her motorolla flipout a couple of months ago and there seems to be an unknown issue with battery drain. Standard battery drain for eco use let's it work for about 2 days.. which is reasonable. However, sometimes after charging, maybe after it turns off because of lack of battery power and charging it back, the phone works just for a few hours... like 5 or 6 hours max (!!) seems strange and don't know how to deal with it.. Any1's got the same problem?
[Flipout and Charm General] mschmiedel:
Yesterday I was playing with a Flipout, it ran out of battery (using 3G connection). What was very weird was that I connected it for about 5 minutes to the charger and it went up to 60%. It has a very strange power management...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krico:
Yeah i'm also one of the unlucky ones with the dark screen. What makes it worse is the blue tinge when you tilt the screen slightly. Another problem, my screen keeps going bright for about 3 to 4 secs about every 45 seconds and then goes dull again. Nothing to do with auto brightness by the way because i turned it off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermurmeli:
Yeah I've noticed the hue shift when tilting the display as well. Also on gray and white surfaces when the screen dims the color is not smooth but looks rather like there is some dirt under the glass. Like it's a whole different type of display than the one in our other SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSport-:
I experienced the same situation. I had to replace the screen on the S2 bought back in may due to nasty scratches. The screen was otherwise really top notch with no visible defects.

The one they replaced with is much dimmer and actually has a higher contrast which leads to some color burn. There are also stripes from top to bottom when I pull down the top bar. And as if that was not enough, the picture is grainy. As you pointed out it feels as a totally different display.

I am not going to swap it since I managed to lower the contrast to an acceptable level but it's quite disappointing regardless.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
This could be samsungs way of trying to slow down the screen burning?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I still haven't bought an S2 yet but this is a bit of a concern. I'd like to hear from more people with a newer phone, do they have the same screen issues as mentioned above.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krico:
If you come from HTC to Samsung, you're certainly going to notice the difference. At least in my case, the HTC had better whites on screen and no blue tinge when tilting screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
I frequently flash between the XW and XX series of ROMs and notice that on some roms, the screen is darker and on others it is brighter. This is when it is being tested at 100% brightness and display setting set to normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krico:
If i knew for sure that flashing my phone with the correct ROM would make my screen brighter, i would do it in a flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
Same problem with the white sgs2 I bought few days ago. Really disappointing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Would you still recommend the S2 with the screen as it is on yours, or has it spoilt a good phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
I would still recommend the phone, but you will have to use manual brightness instead.

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

For those with the dim screen, if you are adventurous enough, you can follow the instructions here xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235212&highlight=brightness to crank up the brightness of your phone so that you can use the auto brightness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
I have a new white sgs2 and this is the first Android phone I have had where the auto brightness on all roms Samsung or cm7 is totally useless. I use manual now and it looks good at around 1 3rd brightness so heavens knows how low the auto brightness is setting it!

Ephumuris
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mskytop:
I have the same problem, dirt under glass. The strange thing is, I got a replacement, the same problem. When you lower the brightness, there is small dark area, like dust. Two devices the same shop, the same problem. I start wondering it is the production quality Samsung can get
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafez:
I have talked about this several times and even sent private messages to developers but all ignored it.

Anyway, try flashing the official kernal of KE2 and you will see the difference.

The collors and screen brightness will change without any effect what so ever to the device performance.

Screen Adjuster is another way to correct this, it is a free program in the market which will do the job for you .

HTC is no better, I had a Sensation before and it had the same problems, They use two different screen types and many complains about it in the Sensation forum.

Thanks but none of those links really answer the questions.

Put another way, if I want to unlock the bootloader, can this only be done on unbranded handesets, or does it work on network provided handsets too?

What questions should I be asking the seller, to ensure I get a handset that I can unlock the bootloader and load a rooted ROM if I wish.

I don't want to buy a phone that I can't root.....

You asked..

All clearly answered by the content you were linked to, and the two stickys in General which I suggest you read. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
I have read them all, and really none the wiser. Does it really matter if I buy a unlocked network Arc S, rather than a true SIM-FREE one? Is there anything I won't be able to do with the former that I can do with the latter?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Any can be unlocked, but network locked requires SETool, SimFree just needs S.E's method. My phone came network locked from O2 but is now Debranded, Boot and Sim Unlocked. The Debranding I did myself and Alejandrissimo Unlocked my BL and Sim.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
Thanks. So is it worth the hassle, I can get a SIMFREE from Play.com for £339 or a network unlocked S for £50 less. (I can get some cashback from play.com, making it closer to £30 difference).

Is it worth paying £30 more to get a true SIMFREE phone, and avoid the risk of bricking it, and i'm guessing benefiting from quicker updates.

[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Hey I have a few questions which I would appreciate if answered.

1. Can the a500 output to a monitor via dvi? Is there something that would need to be enabled or not. I know it can output via HDMI.

2. Has anyone actually bricked their device to a state in which it cant be recovered, I know sc2k can usually recover the device with the UID, but has anyone got their device completely bricked to the extent in which the only option was warranty replacement.

3. Is anyone developing a way in which to or event bricking or an unbricking tool.

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Not natively, no. If you can find a device that converts HDMI to DVI signal then you could use that, but I don't know if such a device even exists.

You can get a male HDMI to female DVI adapter for under $2 from Amazon.

Which you would then use with your mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter.

This has been asked several times before.you need a converter box. They are two different types of technology.

Thee also has been a few people that I heard sent there Tablets to acer to get unbricked. Not sure if they talked to seek or not thou.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Hi, Jeff.

I actually have tried what you've suggested a while back. While it does allow you to connect, it does not power up the dvi port on the monitor/tv. I think something like what erica_renee or WereCatf are mentioning is needed.

Unfortunately I cannot find this magical device anywhere (Well,,, I only searched a 'little'. No real dedication, sorrrry.). I have an older monitor (dvi) that I would love to run the tab on...
[Acer Iconia A500] tedpc01:
I believe (since you've hooked it up, tried it and it didn't work) that your computer monitor does not support 1080p output from the Acer. I'm not sure, it could even be 720p, but either way it appears your monitor doesn't support that or the frame rate from the Acer.

For some reason hdmi to dvi doesn't work I tried every possible combination on many monitors with various resolution strange tho.

Is it bootlooping? Or it freezes completely?

If it is bootlooping, then try to wipe. => Turn off the tablet using long-press of power button, then go to recovery and select wipe data/factory reset (not sure exact label)

If wipe didn't help, then try restock your tablet using odin.

Hope this will help.

1st: have you wiped cache and dalvik cache, so as told you here on XDA or on the authors webpage?

2nd: why you don't ask in the overcom thread?

3rd: why you start more then one threads with that question? ->here<- Please edit that, and tell it was a little mistake or ask to delete the posting.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JohnTerry26:
Ok guys, so here is the deal

The phone was rooted and Oxygen ROM installed, but it has a major problem: The USB Mass Storage DOES NOT WORK! And the android market keeps closing(Force Close).

To install another ROM, you need to put files on your internal memory(the zip with the rom), but since the USB Mass Storage does not work, it seems "impossible".

You can't download files to the phone's internal memory, it asks for and SD Card.

Already tried putting the zip on external SD Card and then using ES File Explorer move it to Phone, but a message pops up saying that the file cannot be moved.

So the question is how to install another rom, or at least fix the USB Mass Storage problem. Is it possible to use external SD Card files on Clockwork Recovery like "install zip form SD Card"?

Also the internal memory and RAM capacity are not being shown correctly.

Thanks in advance!
