[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r1_2fast4u:
One of our buddies here at XDA found a workaround for the bug. Thank him for the workaround. I figured I'd make a thread for it so people can find it faster. I personally have used it and it works. Battery life doesn't seem to be affected.

Credit to KCRickSS

I found a workaround, but be warned that it surely cause some battery drain. I have only tested it for a few hours, but it is working good enough for me to try it for a while.

If I force the phone to stay awake, it always rings. In my limited testing it seems to ring consistently using "Always Awake" (ROOT Required) by T2K269 in the market. My phone is using config #3 above, and now rings fine if the program is enabled. I can tell that it is also draining the battery faster, but it is hard to judge how badly yet.

Thankfully this seems to be plugging the eg12 modem bug for me so far. It was consistently failing before I tried it and now consistently works. I have two batteries and work at a computer most of the time, so I can plug in if needed anyway. I'd rather drain it faster and not miss any calls.

Disregard insane battery drop phone restarted and dropped from 56% to 15%. Battery should be good for everyone let us know how it goes.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tadkingston:
I've just updated to Gingerbread, rooted using ZergRush and none of the existing LCD resolution changers seem to work, including Bladebuddy. All I get is a blank screen with the button lights on until I reboot when it then goes back to standard settings. Has anyone else seen this problem or have a fix?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
Have you tried LCD Density Changer. It isn't free however.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tadkingston:
LCD Density changer worked fine under Froyo but it also fails under Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pop45398:
I have Gingerbread 2.3.3 (my SGT-P1000 came with it) but I have since installed Overcome 7 Series v4.0.0 ROM (GB 2.3.3). I installed LCDDensity for Root by Elviss Kustans and it works just fine for me; however, it doesn't persist after a reset. If I didn't prefer the stock 240 density anyway, I'd use LCDDensity for Root to find my optimum density setting then change build.prop so my desired density would persist. (I wouldn't suggest just changing build.prop without using LCDDensity because if you modified it to an incompatible setting it would be more difficult to recover from.)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teacher1960:
Try an app from the market called LCD Resolution it also has an option for persistence after a reboot. I used it for some time and it was fine but the resolution change made market insist that my tab was incompatible with half of the apps in market, so I didn't need the hassle and went back to 240

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
Hey all, to start off I want to point out that I've done my research on the pentile display, and the way it handles lighting by replacing some of the pixels with white ones to make it brighter.

It obviously has an issues handling "normal avi's" especially when it comes to black crush (crappy detail for shadows/dark during video playback).

When playing the same video side-by-side with my nook color, I've found that the atrix seems to be a bit more saturated... (sample image below... sorry for the crap quality, but I think it gets my point across)

so my question is, is there any way to get rid of the black crush and change saturation levels on the screen of the atrix? I'm currently running stock 2.3.4. Do any other roms have a fix for this?

(as a sidenote, my phone options were either the atrix or the gs2, and both suffer from black crush... sort of disappointing considering the price tags of both machines...)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Which video player are you using, and is it the same one on both devices?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
I'm using MX video player on both. I've tried a bunch of players... same result. Even the stock player seems to have the problem... so I think I'm just stuck with it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
My Atrix 4G compared to my GTab Tablet looks pretty much equal in color representation, being the Atrix 4G more natural and bright. I'm too using MX Player (at max brightness btw)

Anyhoo, I rather have my Atrix's Pentile screen than any of the oversaturated/overrated Super Amoled (+) displays that tend to burn-in quite fast with moderate to heavy use.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
thanks for adressing that... but does the gtab suffer from black crush? :/ that's the only thing that turns me off about the atrix.. video playback.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone83:
Sorry for the noob questoin, I've searched and cant find it anywhere. Could someone please point me in the direction for the stock kernel? I'm rooted and on 8.5.5.13 with blades kernel. I am trying to update to .18 with CWM but it fails becaues I dont have completly stock firmware.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You can get the stock kernel from the asus website. It's packaged up in the 8.6.5.13 rom in the blob.LNX file. Flashing it might be a little tricky. I think the easiest would be to apply the stock rom, then update, then re-root. You won't lose data.

If you have cwm, the update might fail unless you mount the staging partition. Roach's version of cwm might do this for you.

You can also flash the update through adb.

The phone in question is the one with the Exynos (spelling?) processor which supposedly runs faster and better than our Qualcomm one.

But by no means is our Qualcomm processor a slouch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
well according to that blog, they went from 1.2 Ghz stock to 1.6 Ghz... that's gonne be melting real soon :p

while our phones stock is 1.5 Ghz and even running at 1.8 Ghz continuously is still within safe temperature above normal

one night i fell asleep while playing a GPU CPU intensive game, and when i woke up the phone was WARM but not BURNING HOT

according to temp sensors it was at 48c

unless it goes beyond 50c i wouldn't be worried

You can freeze it in TB, if you don't get FCs or other issues you should be able to uninstall it. That way you can unfreeze it instead of reflashing a ROM if it gives you issues.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
If you freeze/uninstall all of the different SNS listings you WILL get FCs when trying to use certain features related to contacts. Specifically if you link your contacts with FB or whatever and then freeze the SNS account linked to that social networking site your contacts will never update. If you freeze SnsImageCache it will cause a FC if you try and open the "media" tab under a contact's name.

[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
It does not....No one I know bought an Android for the sole reason that it plays Flash, and if anyone did, they're an idiot. I bought one because I could customize it, root it, and a boatload of other things that I can't do with an iPhone. HTML5 is way better than Flash anyway. We'll all be better off because of this.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
^^^^^^^^^

Ummm, actually, Flash is one of the main things I was excited about when I moved to android on June 4th 2010 (evo launch).

I came from WinMo. The skyfire browser on WinMo supported flash, and finally provided a desktop experience on my phone.

Reading the comments on the article I linked to seemed to support the argument that HTML5 could be great, if it was developed a lot further than its current state. Which means, as OstrichSak said, what until then?

And hopefully google DOES have something up their sleeve ;)

It's not like it's disappearing out of thin air tomorrow.....They'll still use it until HTML5 becomes the standard.
