[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
i don't use a screen protector

color quality is only worse at low brightness settings, at max brightness the infuse is far better than the iphone

you guys don't get banding issues at low brightness? i asked about this before and the general consensus was that this is a flaw with SAMOLED+ displays, and that there was nothing i could do about it.

@axiomkid

that coating on the glass (not a screen protector, the coating from the factory) should be there to prevent fingerprints and oil from collecting on the display, not to make it more difficult to remove! that's the purpose it served on my iphone, at least. dunno if samsung is doing something backwards here lol

@jep56

you are everything that is wrong with the android community
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
nope. considering i am at 0 brightness most of the time, and less than 10% most of the other time, I don't see any such issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
for me, greys and blues look horrible at low brightness. it's gotten worse since i originally bought the device back in may.

it appears as weird color banding and artifacting that is in a constant pattern on the display, as in it doesn't move when i scroll something.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
Have you tried supercurio's screen tuning app (requires root)? It helps out a lot with the blurry text and banding. I can't say I have anything but love for my SAMOLED+ screen myself.

I haven't really had any issue with the glass either. I have very few scratches, no big noticeable scratches at all since I've had it, and when I get finger prints on it I just pop it out of it's case and wipe it on my sleeve and it's typically fine. If I let the screen get really dirty, it might take just a drop or two of water to help clean it, but the glass on my phone is in great condition.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
supercurio's app is a huge improvement over the stock settings, but mostly just for text in my experience

banding isn't much iproved
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
Supercurio's screen tuning app works great even on Stock Froyo 2.2. No issues with display set at 9% Brightness, I never go higher than that since it's not needed and I rather not fry my eyeballs with the screen brightness being too bright.

Edit: Had my Infuse for about 2 months now, Not a single scratch, nic, dent, Not ANYTHING! (Knock On Wood!)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
My glass is scratch free and I have no problems wiping the screen off when *my hands* smudge it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:
wow,

my experience has just been the opposite. The Infuse Gorilla screen is awesome, no protector, no scratches and i typically just wipe the screen on my jeans or shirt. once a week use a damp cloth on the screen only. I got the Infuse 2 weeks after release last spring.

Prior to the Infuse, I had also had the ip4, 3gs, and 3g and think the Infuse screen minics the ip4. I thought the finger print protection on the iPhone4 was garbage...didn't work on my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
i guess i just got a good iphone, and a crappy infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
My phone is always in my pocket with my keys and change and i have no scratches on it. Smudges come off easy so its just u having an issue. Maybe make sure your hands are clean before u touch your screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slapshot30:
+1. Its an expensive piece of tech, don't rub your grubby hands after eating some wings on it (exaggeration) and then complain on how dirty the screen is. Besides, the crappy iPhone glass is WAY more prone to cracks and such than the infuse glass.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
The screen on my phone is fantastic. I've never had any issues on it. Now iphone, yes. My 3G screen scratched myself on an empty pocket.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
its not an iPhone... Its a Samsung Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Why would you make a thread just to complain?

The iPhone is a great phone, however some of those claims are just ridiculous. The glass is undeniably better on the Infuse than the iPhone 4. That's just a fact. Some of the complaints are valid, like the build quality and camera. You win some you lose some.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
not sure the problem my screens fine no issues, screens still looks bran new
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
My screen looks like crap. Smudged, scratched to hell and dull.

Oh wait a minute, that's the screen protector that I've had on for over a month now. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
i guess your anecdotal evidence wins over my anecdotal evidence
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
Why dont u close this thread and stop cluttering the forums. Its a smudge on your screen, not the end of the world dude.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
The Infuse has Gorilla Glass. The iPhone does not. There's nothing anecdotal about that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D J Richert:
Iv'e had my phone since it came out and about a month ago I dropped it face down on my gravel driveway. It hit so hard that there was literally broken rock dust on it but the screen was not even scratched.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
There is one solution to the so called infuse "issues". Just one. Uno. Ein. 한. Jeden. one. and that is to move back to the iPhone. all your problems will vanish with a sim card swap.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Man ppl have major issues with this phone. O_o
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
I don't get it. I mean, the only issues I've had with this phone were GPS related, and I went back to stock to get back. Unless you put your phone in the same pocket as your keys I don't see how your screen can get so scratched up (Actually, I think there's a youtube video of someone sawing away at their gorilla glass screen with a key and it doesn't do anything ._.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
they are not issues... their just really really picky people.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im a machinist, i often wind up with stuff in my pockets that can scratch even garilla glass. keys wont scratch (usually) but the key ring might. depends on the keyring. but i get carbon dust (i make metalized carbon seals) on my fingers and end up with chips of all kids of hard materials in my pockets. scratches are just something i have to deal with, that or new screen protectors every so often.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
My screen protector is awesome. Its so hard to fingerprint it. Anti glare in the sun. I like it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
What brand?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I was about to ask... lol anti glare = glare in sun no anti glare is a finger print magnet. So it would be nice to have both. :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Don't get a screen protector. Unless you want to needlessly make your screen terrible, in which case you should buy 4.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
What's your reason for not using one? Just curious.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] terr_bear:
+1...unless you're under the age of 16 and don't have a 4.5" super amoled screen with gorilla glass a screen protector really isn't necessary for this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it is if you have my job, seriously some people need it. garilla glass is great but it's not impervious.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I managed to get scratches on my atrix. Which had gorilla glass.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
If u want pretty...buy an iPhone...if u want raw horsepower and unlimited customization buy android...bottom line..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aletsm:
After reading all the post and my personal experience with the Infuse I suggest you to send your phone for repair, you have issues with it, the screen/display issues and sounds are not right.

m2c
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
I had an inspire with no screen protection and it was always perfect. I have one on the infuse, better safe then sorry but it effects the screen and screen touch IMO dramatically.

When the screen protector gets bad, i plan to leave the screen naked.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello guys, I am buying a new phone next month and I have found two phones in my budget (under £150 on PAYG), which is better value for money?

I know the SGA has a slightly larger screen and better processor but the Wildfire S has a better DPI and the processor can probably be overclocked easily enough to the same as the SGA.

Any help?

The Wildfire S is also £20 cheaper, thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
I am a Galaxy Ace user , I would like to ask what's your budget or rather what's the functions of the phone you use more often ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtisAndroid5:
Hey, thanks for the reply; my budget is £150 at the very most.

I use my phone for heavy texting, checking emails once a day, 1 or 2 phone calls and browsing Facebook/Tumblr.

I'm not interested in custom roms if i buy a new phone, I just want a nice phone on stock Gingerbread. So a decent camera is a must (5MP with flash does the job nicely), run smoothly and a decent sized screen (SGA is only a tad bigger than Wildfire S).

Thanks,

Curtis.

The LiveView is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S2?

I hesitate to buy, I want to know if anyone has this product I wonder if it is 100% compatible, music, rss, facebook, email.

Sorry for my bad English :p

Thanks

edit - a quick search of Google came up with this

is this what you mean?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeyking:
yes, it's exactly the link you sent me
[Galaxy S II Accessories] berbecverde:
100% compatibility is with the Sony phones(not even with them:D).I had the live view but not with the S2.The thing is i had to sell the thing because it dropped the connection often, like.... almost always:).I personally do no recommend it to anyone.:p

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...crodisplay?cc=gb&lc=en#view=compatible_phones
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeyking:
Thanks Berbecverde !!

So I will not buy this product lol!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nobnut:
I have one and it is ok. The connection drops very rarely with me. They are only cheap but they are a bit gimmicky. It isn't actually that useful but it is a bit of fun and good for showing off.

I wouldn't recommend getting one... but I wouldn't recommend not getting one either.

Like I said... just a bit of fun.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeyking:
thank you for your opinion Nobnut !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rob_h:
This looks like quite a cool device. Does anyone know if you can use it as a remote control for the S2 when plugged into the tv and watching a movie/ listening to music?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] safeelhd2:
Bluetooth watches, anybody?

Sorry to pull up an old(ish) thread but i can get one of these brand new for £20. Is it really that bad? im a sucker for gadgets and i reckon its gotta be worth £20!, im gunna order one now.

Are there any other bluetooth watches that people can recommend?

Anything that works well?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] safeelhd2:
Read some more reviews and seems like SE released a FW update which resolves 90% of the issues.

I thought £20 was cheap but Play.com now has them for £17.99 delivered!!!! :eek: Just ordered 2 from there. :D

I see normal crappy watches for that price.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DarkShot666:
I'm quite surprised it's fallen to that price.

I would however suggest you look into getting a Sony Ericsson MBW series watch. They cost a tad more, but it's worth it IMO.

I've got the MBW-150 Music Edition and it's a fantastic device. The charge on the watch alone has lasted over a week already. I typically pair it with my GSII around 7AM and unpair them between 9PM and 11PM daily, and it's had next to no effect on battery life for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aeron16:
agreed on this.. the MBW-150 was a great device.. i had the classic edition and it lasted a week...

however,the only issue with the device was the OLED display fading off prematurely such that it can become unreadable.. happened to me twice :(

now, i'm using the metawatch :) still a developer's device and has bugs etc... but looks promising!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
:confused: I just checked with CPU Spy and found that my phone is sitting at min processor speed 58% of the time. Deep sleep is under 18%. Could this be the reason my battery life is so terrible?

Little background, I ran stock for 15 minutes (literally, in the AT&T store and in the car on the way to office). I followed this tutorial to get stock + root and made a glorious nAndroid backup.

That worked, but of course now I have the Yellow triangle on boot. Should have followed creepyncrawly's Guide How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter (but of course hind sight is 20/20). JIG has been ordered, on its merry way.

Next step was to follow Atinm's instructions for installing CM7 nightly which includes instructions to flash a different version of CWM 5.0.2.3 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18052303

Ok... still with me? Simple enough. Ran CM7.1 for a week (it's great btw). Then I flashed another CWM from ROM Manager so I could easily run with the nightlies. But kept reading about UnNamed ROM, so let's try that out. Now I'm on 1.2 with Entropy's Daily Driver 11/03. But my battery drains pretty quick and I noticed my system isn't really going into Deep Sleep as it should.

I take it after all that, it is because I have facebook set to sync every 30 seconds? j/k :D Seriously though, here is my decidedly long apps list of Market apps. Anything troublesome in there? I turn off all automatic sync / notification features of Twitter, FB, Words with Friends. But I do use push email for Exchange and Gmail.

Here is the troublesome screengrab from CPU Spy that started my downward spiral.

So did I screw something up along the way? Should I just be happy I bought a second battery with charging dock? :cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
This would drain your battery life when your screen is off, not on. I am still in the process of figuring out my wakelocks. Strangely it would appear my JuiceDefender is unlocking my phone. Maybe that's normal when it is turning my wifi/data off.

I check everything manually, so typically I just turn off wifi/data in the UnNamed notification bar. Same with bluetooth/gps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Note that deep sleep percentages are invalid if any of that time was on-charger time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
It's gotta be an app using a wake lock that is screwin me over. Some light reading:

[REF] Known identified battery drainers

...and here I thought I had searched the forum!

To be fair, I thought maybe I screwed up the radio or kernel by following the ODIN instructions for gaining root and flashing CWM, but looks like that is just paranoia. More than likely one of the many MANY market apps.

GOing to use Titanium and freeze the apps in Entropy's thread, including Facebook. I like the desktop web view better anyway. And no, I don't need Notified every time someones cat is super cute. That is what MMS is for ;)

Deep sleep seems to sip about 1/5 to 1/8 as much power when idle, so it's very important. Some voltage control apps break deep sleep mode. And like they said, better battery stats is the way to find wakelocking apps. My phone is pretty always in deep sleep when I'm not using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Exchange email sync wake lock was the culprit. Specifically, for some reason it was hung synching my corporate calendar and draining about 15% per hour.

Going to remove sync account and wipe app cache, re setup and cross fingers.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:
I am having this doubt, my currently rom is the 2.3.3 orange stock one KH1 and I am able to update it to the 2.3.5 KJ4 now, but the thing is that I've rooted the rom with the zerg-rush method instead of changing the kernel for a CF one...

I am having the doubt if the root changes made by zerg-rush could interfere in the update process or instead it will just replace everything (but the efs folder, right?) for the new kernel and so on.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:

First time poster, long time lurker.

I purchased a used Samsung Captivate for the wife. When I bought it, it had already been unlocked and the CoolMod v 4.0 custom ROM was running on it. The wife tried to turn it off and when she hit the power button, it went to download mode. She is now worried because phone says "do not turn off Target"

Did she brick the phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Rofl, no its not bricked.

That message means once you plug it into the PC don't unplug it until the firmware download is done. But since you aren't flashing anything its meaningless.

Just either hold all three buttons (volume +- and power) until you see the white at&t screen them let go, that'll boot into recovery where you can restart the device.

Or you can simply pull the battery and boot normally.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltnleo:
Never mind. I went ahead and used Odin and flashed Serendipity. It was the fastest way to get out of Download mode and get a newer rom anyway.

Studacris, I figured it could be something as simple as that, but went ahead and flashed it anyhow. My experience flashing was limited to my HTC Raphael, never worked with Android. Maybe I will get myself an Android phone and start playing with them...without having my wife looking so scared!

Tryed combination of buttons and no luck. + and power the download goes off then comes back. Waited till the second time and let off power held + no recovery mode. I know longwinded just waited to give details.
