We now have an official Gingerbread, but it seems the Original keyboard is missing?

All I see are swipe and Samsung keyboard, no Android or system keyboard.

In the market there are a few GB keyboards, any clue to which is the best?

Please help... My GPS is not working. Everything else about the ROM is absolutely perfect. I love it. GPS was bad before I installed bullet kernel, and after. When I was on stock GPS was flawless. Anyone else having an issue? Any way to fix it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
I am on juggernaut and using latest kernel from cmenard. Locks in seconds. You could try reflashing ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Romanbb:
Try GPS Toolbox & Status from the market. It downloads assistance data and can help lock on quicker.

Or go back to a stock ROM :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
Takes me only 2 seconds to lock on as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JIvibrant:
Thanks for the help, the GPS toolbox helped, I'm thinking of reflashing anyways since no one else is having this issue. Everything else is unbelievable on this rom. I'm so stoked, and I don't see myself switching, especially with updating in rom? crazy good. Bullet 1.8b is a blast too... thanks for the help.

Are you using Juggernaut 1.1? I just did a fresh flash to 1.1, wiping cache and data and the very first thing I tried was locating me in Maps. "unable to find your current location". Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i'll suggest you to install the latest 3.65 instead

i'm still on 3.1, but i'll flash 3.65 as soon as i have some free time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Holyloktar:
Wow, I didn't realize there was a new one. Flashing now.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Just flashed to 3.6 and the first thing I tried before anything was locating using GPS. It's still unable to fix my location. I use GPSFix in the Market and it seems to fix it temporarily. Any other thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _eroz:
Did you wipe cache, wipe Davlik, flash ROM, fix permissions?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Holyloktar:
Well, I'm not sure what did it, but I reflashed (wiping Davlik and cache), fixed permissions and everything seems to be working fantastically. I really appreciate all the tips and help!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rbenz:
I have a similar problem... GPS works but it is a bit inaccurate. Its a few blocks off. How do I "fix permissions"? Is that a function in clockwork recovery?

It's part of ROM Manager under the Backup and Restore options. Click that and then reboot your phone.

I loved using it I could have like 5 rom backups on my inspire at one time but my seervice isn't great around where I live so it got aggravating to not be able to listen because it took so long to buffer, awesome deal for those with great service though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
this may have already been stated, but i feel so strongly about it that i'm replying before i finish reading. cloud computing is going to fail because of companies taking away unlimited plans. the main time a person would need to use cloud computing would be while they are mobile, and with tiered data plans, why would you risk it? if you're just a person at home with a prehistoric hdd too small to fit your music, then i can see how it would be useful. i have enough space to store 1000s of mp3s and flacs, and would get more use out of a micro sdhc/sdxc than cloud computing. Apple, Amazon, and Google all need to get together and offer unlimited mobile data, or convince VZW, ATT, and anyone else to revert if they want this to work. even my cable ISP occasionally sends me a postcard about how my account has used above average data, and i should check my wifi security and use anti-virus/anti-malware. i keep reminding them about hd quality streaming, lossless audio (that i paid for), youtube, and the year we are in, then tossing it in the trash. cloud computing is a nice idea, but i wouldn't put money into it. it's going to get to where you have to pay every company for every mb you use if this continues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Its great for someone who is on wifi and dosent want to carry around 32 gigs of music around on their phone. Its also nice to have a digital copy backed up in the cloud in case your HDD ever decides to crash. To go even further, if you are a flashoholic and like to flash a lot of roms, then having all your music backed up to the cloud can be a nice way to quickly access your music.

It may not be for everyone in every situation, but most places have wifi and this will/has appealed to a lot of people.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Nice screen on the Skyrocket, but the color is off, particularly white. It makes reading an ebook miserable. Fortunately, it's easily fixed.

First go to Settings/Display and uncheck "Auto adjust screen power". (Thanks to Shmegmaking for that tip!) This won't change the color, but will prevent the display going way too dim by itself while reading black text on a white background. it will use extra power though. But if you read text on a white or light gray background it's well worth it.

Second, correct the white balance. It's WAY the heck off. I used an Eye1 Pro Spectrophotometer to measure and correct my Skyrocket's white balance. You can just use my numbers to get the same result. You have to download & Install "Screen Adjuster" by "netman" from the Android Market. Then use these settings:

Red +31

Green +12

Blue +0

Brightness 100%

Contrast -0

Go into options and check "Autorun"

White is dead on with these settings; reds, greens, and blues (the primary colors) are much closer to correct.

EDITED TO ADD:

The main problem with the above settings is that grays are too warm. (Red) the Skyrockets display is not linear so compromises are required. The above settings give perfect whites and very good bright colors. Grays and less saturated colors tend towards red however. The Settings below will get mid level grays and colors to a very good level. Whites and bright colors will be a bit cool (Blue) and dark grays and dark colors will be a bit warm (tend towards red.) But overall, this is as close as you're going to get this phone I think. (Until somebody comes up with an app that allows gray scale calibration.)

Red +24

Green +9

Blue +6

All else the same.

NOTE: they took into account the screens inaccurate color when they did the stock wallpaper, so it doesn't look nearly as good with these settings. Pictures and whites look MUCH better though.

Some people prefer a cooler white for reading. If you use the top numbers, you can try changing Blue to +8 if you find this is the case. (If you use the bottom numbers you should be golden.) Less would be good; if you go too much higher you'll start getting further away from accurate colors. Some e-readers--like cool reader--allow you to adjust the color of the background in the app. That would be preferable to changing the settings I've given for "Screen adjuster". That way your pictures and videos will retain accurate color.

The screen won't be quite as bright with these settings. I think they tuned the screen for maximum brightness in the store, the same as they do with TVs. Kind of like using "Dynamic" mode on a TV, it gives a lot of "Wow" factor at the store, but after using it for a bit you notice the colors are wrong.

EDITED TO IMPROVE MID LEVEL GRAYS

I'm going to look into this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I think it shows promise but the red push was hurting my white levels too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Your whites were too red with this? Which set of numbers were you using? With the top numbers the whites should be dead on, with the bottom numbers white is very much on the blue side. What were you using as a white reference? I've only got the one phone, is it possible that Samsung QC is so off that individual screens vary that much?

With the top numbers, dark gray goes to red too much, with the bottom numbers dark grays should be a bit red, whites should push blue. It's the best compromise I could come up with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dranakin:
Everything looks completely inaccurate with either set of numbers/settings. I think it really is like someone posted above, where it depends on your individual screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
That's going to be true regardless. The Skyrocket--and all Galaxy SIIs--are notoriously innacurate with colors. The bottom set of numbers should give you cool whites and warm darks. If you adjust it for accurate darks, white is WAY the hell off. That's the factory setting. If you adjust whites for accuracy, dark grays are WAY red. By adjusting the mid level grays--the bottom numbers--you'll get warm (reddish) grays and cool (bluish) whites. If you read black text on a white background, or read web forums with light gray backgrounds and white text, the factory settings are completely out of left field and unuseable for many. The bottom set of numbers corrects that enough to be pleasant to read with at the expense of reddish dark grays.

What would be great would be if someone made an app that let you adjust the color at different gray levels. Then you could get a far more accurate gray scale calibration.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Thanks... Yeah I understand calibrating the gray scale, etc... I might have done a few calibrations here and there. The lower range of the gray scale will indeed push red with these numbers. There is currently no way to calibrate the entire gray scale. To get whites (The top end of the gray scale, above 180, 180, 180)) to a reasonable balance, the low end (below 100, 100, 100) is going to push red. If you want more accurate dark grays, (bottom end of the gray scale) your whites (top end of the gray scale) are going to be way, way off. So much off that many folks, myself included, find them intolerable. By calibrating the middle of the gray scale, (127, 127, 127) you get tolerable whites and tolerable dark grays. If you don't care how far your whites and light grays are off, then you should leave it stock. If you want a better compromise for the whole gray scale, the bottom numbers are good.

A proper gray scale calibration would allow at least 4 calibration points, 20 ire, 40 ire, 60 ire, and 80 ire. Without that, and as horribly unlinear the Galaxy S2 variants are, you have to pick one point to calibrate. Stock they pick around 20 ire it seems, so 60 ire and above is ridiculously far off. By picking 60 ire to calibrate, 70 and above is reasonable and 40 ire and below is reasonable, but does push red. It's basically pick your poison. Stock is calibrated for darks, I've given numbers to calibrate for mid level grays and another for whites. Whichever looks best for you is what you should use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] likeitnot:
Yeah, I just received my Skyrocket yesterday and I noticed right away the whites are incredibly washed out with a blueish tint and I was worried something was wrong with my phone...I guess it's a universal 'problem' with these devices. It sucks to be honest, but I will live!

hello sirs/madams, i am a current O1 user, and im looking at this beast, or the nexus S. i was on our sister subfourm (2X) and noticed i posted in the wrong one :/. does this phone have the exact same issues with BSOD, and black lockscreens?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
some people have it not all... either way how much in a rush of getting this phone are you? Basically would you be willing to wait a couple months for the Galaxy Nexus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
No big rush, just don't want to pay out the ass for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
The wind version of the same as the T-Mobile one but doesn't have any of the issues. Except very minor screen bleed. You probably remember me from the u8100. I would recommend this phone to you unless you want to wait for the galaxy nexus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
hey man hows it going? thanks for the info! (we have a pro dev in our presence:p) i will be getting this guy then.

see you guys soon!

I'm no pro compared to Faux123 and morfic and cm_arcee over here. They have God-like skills compared to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
I just picked up a g2x in near mint condition (one nick near the charging port) for $200.

Coming from a galaxy s 4g the only thing I miss is the super amoled screen.

Every nexus s I ever messed with failed to impress me, they all seemed slow and laggy, so I would say you made a good choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Nexus S.

ICS can be easily ported to the NS. With the G2x you have the risk of an ICS not working properly because NVIDIA doesn't release drivers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FrantikChicken:
I've never used the Nexus but I'll give you my thoughts on the G2X.

I'm a wind customer, and I only twice in about 2.5months now had the phone randomly shut down on me.

However, the stock Android kind of sucked. It's great at the beginning but as you install some more apps and start using it more and more it would start to lag and lag. Turning on WiFi would always give a slow down for some reason. Using youtube was a pain, videos would always be choppy.

2 days ago I decided I couldn't take it anymore so I installed Cyanmogen and the phone has been fantastic. No slowdowns even when doing more demanding stuff.

It's great!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
im not to worried about ICS, just that this phone is really fast. atm, my 2 deal breakers between the 2 is:

-nfc (nexus s

-amoled(nexus s)

-hdmi(G2x)

-dual core(G2x)

i just want fast, and snappy. is the tegra 2 worth it? or is the nexus s nothing compared to the G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I've seen the 2 screens side by side and the p999 is brighter on full than the nexus. The darks are slightly darker on the nexus but the whites are better on the p999. NFC isn't that big of a deal right now and I don't think many people or companies would use it in Canada for some time. The p999 is snappy ask the time, unless you are doing some really intense stuff. Battery lasts quite a bit for the usage compared to the u8100. I can't keep myself from using my phone. It is a joy to use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Only time phone lag is when phone installs apps from the market( not when downloading) And only happened on stock roms sometimes.

Also don't forget to let us know your final decision.

My g2x flies even with 650+ apps installed using link2sd. Im on phoenixblood rom with fauxs latest .0.4.8 ds kernel. Even tho that rom has been updated i dont see a need to flash the newer version because its been such a smooth great performing experience, especially with the stress i put my phone thru i dont see any lag. Glad to hear your loving your g2x see you around the forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Private Pyle:
NVidia is not very big on supporting their Tegra 2 platform and LG is terrible at supporting their phones. Screen bleeding issues seem common, I have a bleeding screen. I get the black screen of death occasionally. The black screen of death seems to be an issue with the OS and not the hardware.

If you don't mind third party support and likely a little screen bleed, this phone is worth every penny. Keep in mind that not every phone has screen bleed and that LG never said that the G2x will get an official ICS release, they just said that the Optimus 2X will. Many people think that includes G2x, but there really is no telling if that is true.

That said, once the Optimus 2X gets ICS (Q2 of 2012), a third party port for the G2x will probably come along whether LG releases ICS for the G2x or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
All that really matters is that cm9 will be released for g2x and i doubt LG can do a better job then that!
[General Questions and Answers] Zekethedego:
Last week I rooted my primary phone, a Samsung Admire with Gingerbread 2.3.4. This was done only after successfully rooting my older LG Optimus T running Fryo. I had no trouble with either phone during the process. However, as of 2 days ago the Admire has had some troubles, namely that the phone function crashes when I press the send key. I get the error message stating “Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” It will receive incoming calls but they cannot be answered and when I try, it crashes

I’ve spent much of the time since researching the problem to find the cause and it’s fix. In doing d\so I have read of multiple causes from screen resolution changes to attempted over clocking, which I have played with. I’ve read that there might be problems with the phones attempting to switch from 2g to 3g too rapidly, something this phone cannot do I believe.

I came to the conclusion, probably erroneously, that I needed to reset it back to factory and then reinstall apps and data out of the backup I made using Titanium Backup prior to the phones troubles. So I did so, doing the three button cocktail I’ve read about here on XDA Forums. After doing this, the problem persists. I’ve read some more becoming more baffled as I went along. So I tried to reroot the phone using one click root, and that was unsuccessful as well, no root. I then read that all I needed to do was to install Superuser from the Market. In attempting this I found my device was no longer recognized by Market and after going through their troubleshooting process it’s still unrecognized, Next I decided, also most likely erroneously to reset the phone again using the three button combo as before. This time I noticed at the bottom of the screen written in yellow, E: File is written: not updated

Also as a side note my phone currently says that there are 133MB available and after the reset(s) my bloat ware has not returned,

So that’s it. I seem to have deleted something that kills the phone app and prevents me from rooting. Other than those two things the phone is working well. However as it sits it’s merely a small Internet tablet with no phone capability. Can anyone help me out with this? And yes, I have read and read and read about it but clearly this is beyond my ability to fix on my own.

Thanks,

Zeke

Hey, my skill level ranges between beginner and intermediate, but honestly in a situation like that I would odin back to stock. I have an epic 4g, so I have no idea what your download mode is or if you have one or if you have to use quick boot or fast boot? Its one of those. If **** ever hits the fan on me (Thank god it hasn't yet) I would odin to an old stock rom and root it and install a recovery and wipe and flash a ROM.
