[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeEYEPTY:
my 3 year old son just dropped the g..d d...n cellphone and the camera it's not working, the rest of the phone is intact, so i have taken a decision, which HTC cellphone has the same spec hardware wise like the mt4g with this bands? 850mhz and 1900mhz??? am welling to brick my phone by testing it with another cellphone radio firmware and if it works, i will be able to enjoy at least 4g internet if it doesn't well the camera is damaged so i already lost 300 bucks.

Thanks for helping me out with this....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeEYEPTY:
i found on google this code *#*#4636#*#* it takes you to a hidden menu where you can select different things, am wondering if someone can make a hack and enable the rest of the bands.

right now am just delirating :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoace:
It is impossible to change the frequency on your phone. Stop trying to figure it out cause there is only one outcome and that is a bricked device. You are better off using it as a mini tablet then to brick your phone. You will never get it to work on any other frequencies then the ones listed....ever. I will repeat no matter what you do you will only end up with a dead device. So just don't do it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
The frequencies the phone works on belong to a chip on the board. This is hardware, not software. Sorry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Just bought a bunch of music off Zune in my phone. They paused themselves during the download and won't resume. Anyonw kniws how to fix this. I want to rwbiit the phone but I'm not sure if I'll lose my purchases or not.

Anyone dealt with this before?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
They finally started resuming. Only took it almost 20 minutes. Never again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
5 of them downloaded just 5 second clips and bow they want to charge me $1.99 for each of them again..

Done with them.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Go ahead and delete it. Ill count my losses and move on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
Is this normal ?

Is there anyone there with same issue ?

Should I replaced it back ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zsolti256:
Explain :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
The iris (inner most center) is not in the with the outer circle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DeathOfAllThings:
Mine is the same way, I'm not real worried about it. Seems to take pictures well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
Geez... it bothering me..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
Holy crap, I didn't notice it until you said something! Now I want to throw my phone away. J/K about the throwing away part, but I really didn't notice that until you started this thread.

They probably couldn't fit the camera module perfectly centered on the main board but figured they could fudge it by centering the housing without too many noticing. Little did they know you'd be buying one! ;) (Ha ha, J/K again...)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
haha... coz my S2 is perfectly centered...

Need to buy another one...:) or spend the money to cure my OCD...hahah
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sharpshooterrr:
If the pictures you take look good and not off-center, I guess you shouldn't worry about it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
No, it is towards the right side of the circle. It is not centered with the outer circle. I believe this is part of their design (perhaps some technical reason too)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
Mine is also more on the right side...?

Any thoughts WHY they do it technically ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] watch_mania:
Guys, not to worry, this is just a minor parallax viewing problem.

Center your eyes, you should see the camera lens centered now..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
I was looking at a demonstration Note on display yesterday, and I thought the lens didn't look quite right. Now I know.

It took fabulous photos though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedspringlex:
is this a joke thread. mine is exact center.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
you're not looking hard... I checked 3 units today but all of them have varying off ctr..from .1mm at the best...

so I cant replace mine since all of them are same
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nexro:
mine is centered (lens).

the outer part is not, in fact, it's not even secured as it moves around but never actually blocking the lens, so the camera works fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
Looking at other camera...Galaxy Tabs etc.. most of them are not exactly centered..

I dont know why I making so much puss on this...hehehe

Really need to fix my OCD..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
Mine is centred to the right. Damn, it's going in the bin now!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sectorlord:
Just returned my Note with another one... after looking at least 3 notes

I now have a perfectly centered camera...hehehe
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
I have rooted my Xperia Play and used Titanium Backup to remove the bloat. I've got a backup of the System Apps folder so I can reinstall manually if needed. Is there any sort of Recovery that I can use to make a Nandroid, or is there some file somewhere I can download to restore back to factory when/if ICS is released for Verizon customers? And how do I know if I have an I, X, A, or whatever?

I've tried searching here in the forum, but with all the UK vs US, Orange, Rogers, Verizon, [Insert Your Carrier Here], locked BL vs unlocked BL posts, I can't seem to find answers to those 2 simple questions.

Thanks for your help and your patience. I'm new to this phone, but not new to rooting or Android.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cl8rs:
I will help as much as I can :)

In order for us VZW Plays to have a custom recovery(to create a Nandroid), we have to unlock our bootloader. Which sadly for us VZW users, we have to pay to get ours unlocked by members here on the forum. From what I have read and heard they are great at it and don't leave you hanging. I personally think that VZW will release ICS for us, don't know when, later on :) Hope I helped.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Well I did read something about FTF (whatever that is) and stock firmware in the development thread, but I don't know which phone they are for. Also, I can't seem to download anything from a DropBox link. I always get a 404 page.

I did figure out if I go into about phone I can find my model (800x) and firmware version information. So that's progress, sort of. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 007shark:
You are on the right track. The R800x State of Development thread is for us Verizon users. The FTF files will get you completely back to stock and does not require an unlocked bootloader. You use a program called Flashtool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
I thought so, but I haven't been on this site long enough to post my question there. I tried to download the necessary files, but for some reason, I always get a 404 page when I try to download anything from DropBox.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog00:
If I were to delete the bloatware apps and a system update rolls around, I just need to reinstall the removed apps and the update should run, right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShotAzn:
Correct BUT it can be a PIA to remember which ones you removed.

I would either just freeze them with Titanium Backup or flash the FTF files when an update comes out.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
Yeah, in retrospect, I should have thought to write down what I removed before I did so, but... :rolleyes:

Once a noob, always a noob, I guess.
[HTC Sensation] kevinniven:
Seems all the devs are on holiday from the Sensation? Are they working on ICS?
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
patience bro. its been quite alot of improvement going on since the beginning. =)

about the ics, theres been an early alpha build in the development thread going on i can only say it will be soon enough before we see a really stable build of ics.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
Is there a way to change this default answer screen? I cannot stand that big slide-down bar, and it's sensitivity sucks. Sometimes I have to lick my finger and then swipe it just for the blasted call to be answered. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Maybe try a different dialer replacement. There are several in the market.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddgarcia05:
I wonder that looks like a public. Is it cold there?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
Wha? lol.................
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddgarcia05:
You having to lick your finger in public to touch the screen. Kinda awkward. And I don't know but perhaps the cold can play tricks with a touchscreen when your finger is cold.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
Ahh gotcha, yeah it's weird lol. I haven't found a way to change the answer screen. It seems to be the same regardless of the dialer I use.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] exxxplorer:
yes, i agree too!

i dont like default answer method... i want a button :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
If you get the right theme going it doesn't look so bad. Lol I'm running the black android theme, and its flat black so its not like you really see the slide bar.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ABQNM:
With MIUI, even an aftermarket dialer will not change the incoming call screen. It will be the slider. As to the sensitivity, I have never had an issue. Do you have a screen protector? If so, it could be causing issues. They all reduce the sensitivity some, but I found SGP from sgpstore.com has the ones that have the least resistance and also have the best sensitivity.

Also MIUI has a nice setting in the phone options that allows you to enforce proximity sensor. This causes the proximity sensor to be on any time the phone is ringing or on a call. It helps prevent accidental answers by sliding it out of your pocket, but it can also cause touch inputs to not be recognized while the screen is off, and sometimes it would take a second after the screen popped back on before the slider will function.

Just some options until MIUI provides a way to theme the incoming call screen like the lockscreen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] exxxplorer:
so, there are no way... :(

we must going to slide down
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I would post in the MIUI threads..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STi489:
Ok...I sold my Vibrant which i liked ALOt...I need a phone and undecided between gs2 and nexus...I'm concerned that the screen with same res may not look as good as my vibrant ...so how is the screen compared to vibrant? Is the gs2 heavier? How would you compare it to the older Galaxy s (Vibrant)? Any input would be great!

The nexus has the older weaker gpu and a weaker audio and not sure its worth the premium...why they put that gpu in is just retarded. anyway this phone would cost me a whopping $749 shipped for old gpu and sub par audio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronin4740:
I came from the vibrant... my reply to you is that the Galaxy II is the phone I wished the Vibrant had been. It's fast with the Stock ROM, the GPS is reliable and locks quickly, data speeds are fast and web browsing is just about as good as it is on my laptop.

I rooted and froze the required apps to get away from the tethering restriction and am playing with custom kernels to get better performance and battery life. I'd like to see Cyanogen Mod for this phone and will install it but for now for me the Stock ROM with the Synergy/Bullet Kernels does the trick!

I can't comment on the Galaxy Nexus as I don't have one but these are my thoughts on the SGS II from Samsung on Tmobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sgastel:
good

I agree the S2 is what I expected of the Vibrant... I swore I would never do Sammy again but glad I gave them a second chance..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STi489:
How is the display though? Larger screen and same resolution....I read some complain about fuzzyiness and blurry video?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwalker0906:
I also came from vibrant....defintly the phone to get...like said before me this is everything you wish the vibrant was....my hope is that it has the same dev support as vibrant and so far it looks like were headed in that direction....i was also swaying toward nexus but its a watered down version of this phone the only thing bettet is the screen res...i have the lines on my screen but not really a issue cause to see them you have to set phone up to see them....kinda glad cause just gives me a reason for warrany if need be ....get this phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vinsane:
+1

Had the Vibrant and hated it...swore off Samsung too. Compared side by side with HTC Amaze....well...you see the outcome

Sent from my SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lt.Tealc:
i loved my vibrant but i needed to upgrade to a bigger screen and since GS2 was in the market i grabbed it despite the lower res the screen looks fantastic i recommend u to stop

at the t mobile store and take a look at it, it,s also fast i rooted it and put custom rom now the phone is from another galaxy ^_^.... i was originally gonna get nexus but i don't wanna wait/and pay over 800$ for it SGSII is a great choice i made and i don't regret it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
i upgraded from the vibrant to the SG2...i wasnt sure if i wanted to because i loved my vibrant and felt the upgrade wasn't necessary...then i found someone selling it on craiglist for $450 (great price, brand new) so i decided to sell my vibrant...it was a great decision...like everyone else said, its what you wish the vibrant was supposed to be...everything functions the same with improvements (gps, front camera, 4g, camera flash)...it was a great choice...and if your a guy who likes to root and do all that stuff its a great choice because ODIN is something you are familiar with...the SG2 is pretty much the vibrant with enhancements and a bigger screen...well worth the money, especially if you kept your vibe in great condition and are looking to sell it...i sold mine for about $200 so SG2 only cost me an extra $250..no regrets
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knotphunnie:
Loved my vibrant. Got a super-sweet deal on my sgsII. A good choice. The thing I miss most is all the TeamWhiskey flavors for the vibrant. As soon as I get that it will be perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] laphoneuser:
Why did you sell your Vibrant if you liked it so much?

I also had a Vibrant, and really liked it. Awesome phone, EXCEPT that I really wanted a camera flash. I have kids, and I use the camera a lot, so a flash comes in real handy.

Anyway, to answer your question about the screen, the GS2 screen looks amazing, and I haven't noticed any degradation in visual quality, even though it's the same resolution on a larger screen. For me, it's a non-issue.

Weight? Non-issue. The GS2, though wide, is very light. And thin.

In terms of everyday performance, it's a great phone. Mine's rooted, and I'm running the Bombardier ROM, by TriCH. Great ROM, super smooth, no issues, and the phone is quick!

But does the performance blow away my Vibrant like I thought it would? No.

That being said, having the larger screen, camera flash, and solid GPS performance makes the upgrade completely worth it.

p.s. As far as graphics performance, I've actually had some stuttering during a few games (puffle launch, Angry Birds) that I did NOT have with my Vibrant. Go figure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bradycl_84043:
I loved my Vibrant, but my needs simply outstripped the processor and ram available to me.

I am in love with my SGS2.

There are only 2 catches I think you need to know about.

First are the issues with the lines on the screen--if you search this forum you'll find a lot about it.

Second, and most importantly to me, the DAC is just not the same as the Wolfson we had in the Vibrant. No Voodoo sound. However, none of the offerings we seem to have available to us now in the ballpark of processor and ram come close to what supercurio was able to give us there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] STi489:
I have read about the screen issues with brightness on low...But i tend to keep my screen bright...I got rid of Vibrant because i wanted a larger screen and flash....I really want the Galaxy Nexus but i don't thinki can wait...Going to tmo to check out gs2....The studdering on angry birds is concerning..I don't play many games ..pretty much just pokerist...But there shouldn't be any issues running a game like angry birds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
did you read the other section?

you only need to install spare part, and disable old apps compatibility mode, which causes that problem in 2D games
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] epinephrine_junky:
I'm still inside 14days and trying to decide if I'm going to keep my SGS2. It took me a long time to get my Vibrant to the point where I was happy with it and I'm not sure if the flash and front camera are worth the $.

My other concern is that swype is awkward to use with one hand because this phone is so much wider than the vibrant. That plus continuing bluetooth problems are probably the two biggest reasons I would return this phone.

Even though the resolution is the same as vibrant it still looks really nice but YMMV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
I've been an Android owner since the first myTouch 3G. I've owned and loved/hacked/modified both the 3G and myTouch 4G... I've played with IPhones and Blackberries.. And I can tell you the T-Mo SGS2 is the definitely the phone for me.

I'm running the stock ROM, rooted with SuperOneClick (zergRUSH exploit). I unlock my phone with facial recognition (Visidon AppLock Pro, in combination with WidgetLocker) and it works flawlessly. I'm running Wave Launcher which allows me to choose from multiple apps instantly with a swipe of the finger, LauncherPro Plus which cleans up stock home lag and offers endless customization, Sign (paid) which allows me to call/text anyone instantly by gesture, Minimal Reader Pro serving me multiple RSS feeds in a scrollable widget (so I always have my most important news constantly), LPP Facebook scrollable widget with the feed updating every five minutes, the coolest weather app ever IMO (BeWeather), the list goes on and on.

All this on a huge, vibrant and bright beautiful screen (yes there are good screens, not everyone gets the shaft and there are a LOT of very picky complainers) and the best part?

This phone flies. I mean fast. Not to mention I get between 14 (minimum) and 20 hours depending on how heavy my usage is.

Maybe I have some freak phone/battery and I got lucky. Maybe I know what I'm doing and some don't...

I'd be happy to help anyone who wants their phone to perform like a champ.

I don't use custom kernels. I'm on the stock ROM. I took the time to make this bad boy perform like the supreme phone it is, and honestly I couldn't be happier.

Trust me, get this phone. I'll help you hook it up!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
Cool story bro lol not trying to be a douche haha I'm also loving the heck out of this phone. I've had so many phones but the gs2 just blows them all out of the water. Oh and thanks for mentioning the face recognition app and sign I checked them out and decided to download them they're awesome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Glad I could help. If you can't figure out how to stop the home button from bypassing security I can fix that for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snowglyder:
Thanks for the info! I switched from Sprint a few months back and traded my Evo 4G for a Vibrant. I'm running MIUI. At first I loved this phone, but I have yet to get GPS truly working which apparently I use more than I thought. I didn't buy a phone when I switched because I was waiting for the GS2, but it took so long to come out that I'm now interested in the Galaxy Nexus, but who knows when/if that'll come to T-Mo.

Now that I've waited this long, would you still recommend getting the GS2, or waiting for the Galaxy Nexus? My patience is wearing thin though. If I were eligible for the Magenta Saturday discounts I would jump on the GS2, but it's for new Unlimited Value lines only. Any advice or thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
for RSS i prefer Feedly https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devhd.feedly&hl=en

it makes fund again, like reading a Magazine, but in your phone

it has a build in Black screen mode for SAMOLED+ screens to save battery life

also comes with a widget
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Craigslist?? Other option is if you're eligible for a renewal on your contract..you can consider getting the phone at the subsidized price & pay cash for it..

If that was the case, I'd just sell the Vibrant on craigslist and take the cash to put forth on the GS2

I ended up selling my Sensation to get the GS2 and am very happy I did

i downloaded visidon applock...what is your workaround for the home key? i thought i was clever and made the app block GO launcher so that when you press the home key is still prompts you..unfortunately it doesnt work, it still unlocks..what did you do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
you have to be using WidgetLocker

In WidgetLocker, go to: Settings > Advanced > HomeHelper

Check all three boxes:

"HomeHelper Compo.."

"HomeHelper Block Home"

"Block Home in other.."

Then click on "Select System Home" and choose WL HomeHelper.

Mission accomplished.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
thanks...it works! still a little buggy though...but i guess thats just the app...the stock lockscreen comes up before the camera unlock...really annoying that you have to slide that first...is there a workaround for that?

edit: i disabled stock lockscreen in WL...seems to have done the trick..for now its working great...i like that it still shows the status bar when you turn it on...that way i can see see the time and battery info without unlocking it

another edit: found that if you long press the home button the recent apps list still comes up...if you have anything listed you can go to that app which then unlocks the phone...so this camera lock app is still useless
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samtani776:
How much is the unlocked samsung gs2 cost?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
That only happens because you disabled stock lockscreen (it turns on "easy wake" ) otherwise long pressing the home button does nothing.

And I haven't found it necessary at all to disable the stock lockscreen, what you're talking about does not happen to me at all.. I've never used "disable stock lockscreen"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
yeah...i figured out a way to get rid of the stock lockscreen...still..this app is a little annoying because after you unlock it, you have to use a slider unlock anyway for widgetlocker...if they ever get the unlock feature to work right (one that goes straight to the homescreen, without any bugs) ill gladly use it...but an ICS rom will probably be out by then..ONE CAN DREAM
