[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexsss1:
Hii everybody, I got myself a galaxy s 2 1 month ago and its my first android .the problem is with my screen.when I watch a movie on it ,it plays well but the colour a little bit cartoony and I know its not the movie cause I watched the same movie on my friends galaxy s 2 its plays much better and the colours are good .i have the same screen colour problem on my wallpaper.its like the effect you get when you put the camera on aqua filter on any application

But just on a low scale.i really don't want to change my phone so please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Have you already tried another screen / display mode?

Go to Settings menu => Display => Display/Screen mode.

There is Dynamic, Standard and Movie.

Maybe one of those will be more realistic in colors ... for your eyes ;-)

Alternatively you can try to adapt the screen brightness too.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omega Frost:
+1 to what It_ler said, for me, the Dynamic Background effect oversaturates the image. I leave it in Standard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexsss1:
Have tried all the display modes and used it on every brightness mode but its the same and I am also having the same problem in my games

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJP1111:
I have a flip case and my simple question is can the proximity sensor turn off the screen when I close it and turn it on when I open it?

Googled and xda'd it and found nothing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silberpfeil3110:
There is an app which does such things, I can't remember the name, but just look further in android general forums also in htc hd2 forum this app was mentioned many times...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJP1111:
Thanks! really helpful, I found the app in the HD2 forums.

For anyone looking for it: search market for proximity screen off by a dev called Shailesh Soliwal. I installed it, then went straight to settings > location and security > device administrators and made sure it was selected (or just read the market description carefully). Then open the app and select "cover and hold to lock the phone". You can then set the timeout in which the phone will switch the screen off when the flip case is closed (in my case).

I'm not sure if it's required but you could also go and setup the values for the proximity sensor when covered/uncovered. My sensor had a value of 0.0 when covered and 5.0 when uncovered. You can find this in [Advanced: configure sensors]. Find you sensor values in "List of sensors" and then select proximity sensor and cover/uncover it to get the values, you can then fine tune them in the top menu ([Advanced: configure sensors]). I would try it without doing this, then see if you need to to save time!

Only downsides are: Skype calls would not bring the screen back on when moving the phone away from my face (meaning a manual button push to open the phone) and sometimes the app didn't do what it was supposed to do. Plus I wanted a complete solution: this app only turns off the screen when I close the case and can't turn it on when I open the case again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnova1:
At 1 time I had an HTC Evo 4G and a EVO 3D on the same line. I sold the 3D a while back and completely forgot about the 4G. I want to do something with the EVO 4G but I have always heard you can't have both phones on at the same time. I don't want to mess up the guy that bought the 3D and I have no way of contacting him so my question is there a way I can reset the phone back to Sprint? Would a hard reset do this or maybe Ruu?
[Sony Tablet S] RainerZA:
Hi I got my sony tablet S today, the 3G-wifi version, recieved the update and all. Wifi works fine but I don't know whats wrong with the data connection. The wifi works fine and it shows that I receive a signal but the 3G connections doesn't wanna enable. I habe data and data roaming enabled, whats wrong? do I need a special modem sim?
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
As far as I know, the Sony Tablet S does not have 3G. Only the Sony Tablet P has 3G... Are we talking about the same tablet? Where do you get the 3G version of the sony tablet s?
[Sony Tablet S] Silver-Eye:
You have the Stablet with 3g, it came out a few weeks after the "normal" one, it costs around 80 euros more (in my country ) and only comes with 16gb.

If u want more info just check the sony webpage, its there..
[Sony Tablet S] Silver-Eye:
Rainer, if all the settings are correct, you may have to call ur local operator about the sim card, and see if its already activated(those bastards sometimes forget those things).
[Sony Tablet S] RainerZA:
:/ I used the same sim I use in my phone (x10 mini pro) and my phone makes a connection so imma kinda puzzled, but i'll go to my carrier today to get a dedicated sim for my tablet and see if that fixes it...
[Sony Tablet S] Silver-Eye:
I dont know how it works in your country, but in Portugal, the operators are starting to use specific sim cards for tablets, and they will block normal sim cards to have data connection with tablets... I dont know how they will do the blockage, but its a pretty much fact for a near near future (greedy bastards).
[Sony Tablet S] RainerZA:
:/ no didn't seem to fix it, gonna go harass them some more tomorrow :/

*edit

Got it fixed seems that the default access point doesn't work op my device

[General Questions and Answers] samsungy:
How can I determine the model of my Galaxy Gio? Is it L, M or V?

I know that for rooting and flashing, you need to choose the correct files based on your model.

I purchased a Galaxy Gio from Kijiji Toronto and the seller told me he got it from Bell Mobility store so I assume it is M model but wanna make sure.

Any idea?

Now does moto-fastboot still apply since id be trying this from the device? Cause when u do it on a computer moto fastboot has to be in same folder as the recovery.img

What would be the proper command prompts to apply in terminal to flash the cwm recovery?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendust7:
Here's an interesting problem: My one month old, rooted Atrix 4G is 4.5.91 OTA (GB 2.3.4). I set the alarm for the first time early this morning. Then I set the phone to idle using the power button.

Later I tried accessing my phone before the alarm was set to go off (0730 PST), but the screen remained blank and the green LED was blinking. I thought, wow, this behavior is way more effective than the alarm function.

Anyway, I tried various power button actions to "wake up" the phone (haha), including sequences with volume control and there was no action.

Then I started my computer and plugged the phone into the USB port like I usually do. No go. Then I plugged the phone into the charger. No go. Then I removed/reinserted the battery, and it rebooted successfully.

I wonder if this behavior has something to do with the webtop over HDMI hack. Last night I ran my custom script for webtop, but the monitor only showed the moving Motorola icon across a blank screen, and there was no other response. (This hack used to work for me.). Oh well! :)
