[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
You don't get it...this is not normal display usage. I remember what my battery usage and battery life was like before this problem came up and there was a huge difference. Before, cell standby was my highest usage and I could get 25-30 hours on a charge. Then display usage shot up to 90% give or take some, and battery life dropped to 4-8 hours. I can understand if display was slightly higher than everything else, but display is at 75-95% while everything else is under 5 or 10. There is absolutely no reason why the display usage should be that high even when the screen has been OFF the entire time. That's not normal. I have multiple screen shots to back it up.

Is there a way to fix or change this? And is there a reason why it happens to some people but not others?
[EVO 4G General] ndstrctbl:
Well if its been off then I don't have the slightest clue.
[EVO 4G General] Prene:
So using bootmanager (finally works now) I loaded miui. And my display is no higher than 1%. So something is very very wrong with sense and 4.5 updates.

guys what is kernel for what is it and if i wanna custom rom do i must do something with the kernel , also show me the diference between e51i and e15a and what is flash tool ??
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscoitu:
Kernel is like the interface that let your ROM to communicate with phone´s hardware. Some custom ROMs have now their own kernel, but most of them are compatible with stock kernel and you may need to add some modules to get things like "pinch zoom" working. The difference between e15a and e15i is only the regional frequency networks.

E15i UMTS HSPA 900 (Band VIII), 2100 (Band I), GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900
E15a UMTS HSPA 850 (Band V), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I), GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

this is the reason that if you have e15a and flash e15i ROM you may loose 3G functionality, but I´ve flashed a phone once, and solved it by editing some lines on build.prop and changing to e15a instead of e15i :D

I guess now you should understand it :)

[General Questions and Answers] charmquark:
I've currently got a ZTE Blade running GSF. I'm looking at options for a new phone for my wife in January. I live in Ireland, travel to the UK regularly so the phone should be available in one of those markets. My first priority when choosing is that it can be SIM unlocked, my second that there's a 2.3 ROM available (if not already installed) and ideally that it's within the CyanogenMod community of interest (no necessarily officially supported). I'd like something with a better CPU than the Blade. I'm not willing to use a TurboSIM.

The Blade is an easy unlock. A lot of Samsung models can be unlocked using the BML5 method. What else is out there that's an easy/free home unlock?

Finally, how do phones with MT6573 CPU's compare with the ARMv6 chips in the branded offerings?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoke2:
Hello, I bought my Galaxy R and I can see that especially upper left corner and whole upper side of display is slightly darker (maybe 15-20%) than lower right corner and whole bottom side of display.

It is noticeable especially on all white background with minimum brightness.

And when Im writing on keypad the letters on left are like slightly darker than on the right side.

Please, could you write how is it on your Galaxy R (i9103)?

I will be very grateful :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoke2:
Anyone with Galaxy R here? :confused:

Please, post your experience :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoke2:
Please the owners of Galaxy R, I need answer quickly!

Does your Galaxy R have little less (maybe around 10 -15%) brightness on top of the display than on bottom?

I noticed it on all white background with minimum or low brightness.

Thank you so much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nedy2k11:
That sounds bad.

On my Galaxy R, on a white screen and minimum brightness its even all around, except maybe for a thin white line top right, but its less that 1/10 mm thick and not noticeable in regular use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoke2:
nedy2k11, thank you for your reply.

Here I posted three photos of my display.

The first two are with minimum brightnes and the third (the last one) is with brightness set around 20%

People, do you think it is normal and acceptable or can I return my Galaxy R back to shop?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
I just got my Note yesterday and spent a great deal of time with the device. I figure this might be a good place to share the experience

1. Pentile display complaints on Note is a moot point. Specially around the curved text edges, it looks like Note is noticeably sharper than the S2

2. Feel is very similar. Note is pretty much a bigger slightly quicker S2 with a larger screen/battery

3. SAMOLED HD is gorgeous

4. Sad to say this but i'm already used to the device size and S2 feels tiny every time i go back to it

5. Onscreen keyboard is easier to use due to size and spacing (it's probably the best onscreen keyboard that i've used and this includes the 10.1 and ipad)

6. S-Pen is awesome and it works much better than any other stylus that i've used including the capacitive ones
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] investmenttechnology:
Good luck sitting on a crowded bus with that thing in your pocket lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Funny that you mentioned it. Not only did i walk down the streets of NYC with it next to my head, i carried it in my pocket the whole day and no one really gave me any funny looks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
I'm most likely going to pick up the S3 and maybe nexus to play around with as well
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
i'm definitely comfortable with it. It's barely noticeable in my suit pocket anyways
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
I use my SGS2 when out running with RunKeeper, great for voice feedback , music and the odd photo when needed...

This is probably the only reason to stop me going for a Note.

Can you use the Notes stylus on the SGS2 screen ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jonny68:
Excellent phone but no chance would i buy it, for me it's far too big.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:

strange question, how about placing an apple on top or perhaps the odd grape or two
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] safeelhd2:
^^ lol. Its so he can see the size difference. i would like to see that too actually as im considering getting a Note next month too.

How about fluid and smoothness? as good as S2?

Is it a pain to use in one hand i.e reaching the far side of the screen? or do you need to use 2 hands?

I read somewhere on here that bigger screens dont actually mean more text on the page, its just larger text. If you load the same page in both browsers do you actually see a lot more on the page of the Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silverstorm:
If the screen is bigger, but the resolution is the same (e.g. Galaxy S1 and Galaxy S2, the latter has bigger screen but same 800x480 resolutio, so the view will be the same on both, with S2 text being larger). However, the Note has higher 720p resolution, so it should fit more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] safeelhd2:
Sounds good.

I prefer big screens (100inch screen via projector in my living room lol) so i would love the Note. Im gunna pop down to city centre on the weekend and try get a bit of play time with one in the stores.

The modding scene doesnt look very big on XDA at the moment, i guess thats cos its still new though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Dude:
I needed a second phone and was about to get a Note. Then I found out it doesn't have Gorilla glass and some users have already reported it easily gets scratched. I hate screen protectors. I agree with the rest of its wonders, but no Gorilla means no phone to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Gorilla glass is just a brand name and samsung might be building their own fortified glass similar to nexus

Btw, gorilla glass does scratch and it all depends on what your device gets exposed to

What lockscreen do you have on your SGS2??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
I've got fairly large hands, and I find the SGS2 a little small at times, the Note seems like an attractive prospect given that other than the size difference it's virtually the same device.

Even the Galaxy Nexus is an extra .4" bigger, might have to see if I can find a Note to have a play with though, although maybe I should wait 6 months for the Note II.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Same here. I can wrap around my SGS2 pinky to thumb and now that i'm used to the Note's size, SGS2 is just too tiny
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
Probably hold off for a few week's when the second hand price has dropped ,already starting to see them on av classifieds, even one wanting to swap his for an iPhone 4 Duh, Ebay last week £600, this week £499 new, so in a few Weeks should be £350, reviews are not as desirable as the sgs2 when it came out, timing release is a little bad with the nexus and iPhone 4s, I agree with a poster above, all the sgs2 needed was the dpi screen resolution of the note, think the stylus will be just a gimmick, we have evolved to use the finger now, the note seems to have an identity crisis, tablet or huge phone, with ics imminent to arrive on our sgs2, wait and see how development goes also, the sgs2 had some if the best chefs and creative developers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Galactus:
Looks like widgetlocker with a custom slide bar at the bottom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gcogger:
The Galaxy Nexus screen is barely any wider than the SGS2 screen - most of the extra size comes from its height. Much of the time, that extra height will be used up by having the 'soft' home, back, menu buttons on-screen. It's bigger for things like video, but very close to the SGS2 for most other uses.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chrisjcks:
The note is massive, i hope the S3 doesnt have a screen that big.

Wow. Great. I love big phones too but have to live with S2 for now. How does the music player sound ? Heard the CPU noise is not as much evident as in S2. How true is that ? Can you compare the Music quality with S2 ??

Id only accept a 4.6in screen if it was an edge-to-edge screen, i wouldnt like a phone bigger than SGS2.

Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black

Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin :)

Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.

For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gcogger:
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Came this morning, Looks promising.

Will upload pics etc in few hours
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
First impressions are its very nice and slim!

Cant hardly tell its there!

Pros

Slim

Feels nice

Doesn't look cheap

Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)

Cons

Doesn't give much protection to Camera

Buttons on side could irritate some people.

To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.

Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Shots of the phone in the case.

I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!

Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:

it feels like you're not using any case at all. the front is not protected, but i slapped on a screen protector so i'm good.

taking out the case is a bit tricky and I give a slight push on the camera to push it out.

Finally receieved the Nilkin case today. Havent got time t post pics up yet, ill do it later if people want.

Cost me £5.23 delieverd from Hong Kong!

First Impressions.

More clear then black, has a slight lip on side so it covers the front a little (Not as much as the SGP Cases)

Feels quite nice

Protects the Camera Lens

Doesnt add too much bulk

Still prefer the one i bught off amazon though, kind ofgot use t it, been there but feeling like it isn't there now!
