[Galaxy S II General] nipip:
I have one assembled in argentine, what I noticed it has different brightness profiles than european when both are with xxki3 modem. I solved this issue installing aroki1 modem (2.3.4)

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Are those on full brightness?

Mine is made in Vietnam and doesn't look anywhere near as bad as yours, I'd personally exchange it for another one.
[Galaxy S II General] D3_:
Have you checked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241590 ?

I get similar differences with the different gamma modes. Maybe that will sort out your problem.
[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
mine is vietnam aswell , product code XEF ( France ) and the display quality is nothing compared to your vietnam product. it must be a screen malfunction.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Those are just screen differences, there are three different screens used, Supercurio has illustrated this
[Galaxy S II General] leminhnguyen0703:
I'm from Vietnam and I can confirm that some, only some of our S2 have this problem. There are comparisons on lots of forums about it. I recommend you exchanging to a different one if it bugs you that much.
[Galaxy S II General] hua_wuxin:
Are you using stock firmware?

It's said that the color/color temperature might be wrong if you use a firmware whose CSC not matching your phone's original CSC.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
In order to test display, I've set both to minimum brightness!
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Yeah, using both similar stock roms: XWKI8
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
I'm gonna exchange, it'll be the 3d time already! Gonna wait for another delivery.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Well I've seen this thread, thnx., but in accordance with production rules strict standards should be applied, thus no difference to be noticeable for any sgs2 unit despite origin country.
[Galaxy S II General] leminhnguyen0703:
Personally it doesn't bother me that much. Got a friend with vietnam s2 and seems no difference except brightness.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
In addition I've got for the second time defective camera module SCEF02, heavy video stuttering. I'll upload video as well later on today. Display definitely gonna exchange, but for a camera module is gonna be tricky, 'cause i've been adviced it's not for sure what camera module will be delivered. The 1st SGS2 with camera module OEMF01 has oustanding video quality, no stuttering at all.

Please advice if anyone has different camera module in Vietnam version not SCE... one?!
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Maybe you should check this thread OP
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Checked one, thnx, however mine one i guess is defective!
[Galaxy S II General] leminhnguyen0703:
Damnn... bad luck I guess. Good luck with your replacement process
[Galaxy S II General] rytenuff:
I haven't noticed any problem with my GS2 (haven't any other GS2 to compare it to) but as a matter of interest, how would I go about finding where my 'phone was manufactured?
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
If it is stated made by samsung, then see battery manufacturing country. Usually it is stated made in japan, finished in korea, or made ib korea, finished in china, or like mine one made and finished in vietnam.
[Galaxy S II General] trungdaika:
The screen is not the only thing that diffirent.

I have 2 SGS II, one from HongKong and the other from UK, made in Korea.

I can easily UV the black one 200Mhz@775 but the white one can't stand that low voltage.

The SGS II made in Vietnam is really bad.
[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
Looks like those 2 phones are running different firmwares. The one of the left looks like it has bolder fonts.
[Galaxy S II General] rytenuff:
Surely that would only tell you where the battery was made?

Incidentally, my battery was made in Japan/finished in China.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Well, I've been adviced from the local Samsung center how to check manufacturer origin country.
[Galaxy S II General] xpresservers:
Brother, your Vietnam based phone must have some display issues. I am personally using such make and it has really bright screen. I am only facing issue on battery timing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RogueGuy83:
Is anyone else having problems with the microphone quality when on calls? I'm constantly being told by people that they can't hear me, when I switch to my Inspire, they say I sound much better.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Bad phone? Ive had no microphone issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dagnus:
no mic problems here. if anything, ive been told its better than when i was on my inspire.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
So I wanted to create a thread where everyone can write bout there purchase experience, whether good or bad..

I purchased mines from Negri Electronics and could not be happier. I recieved her today the packaging was secure and full of surprises. Enclosed was the unit wrapped in a nice bag, a USA wall plug (to compensate for the UK version), an ANDY Android figurine (nice touch) long with a thnk you card from them. The Item shipped Black Friday a day after Thanksgiving, Only because they worked there tails off on Thanksgiving itself to make sure all there units shipped Friday. For that I thank them. I could not have been happier with my choice!

How was your experience, please share
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Can you stop saying "mines"? Just a pet peeve of mine, thanks. I've seen it in almost all your posts.

LMao... common , really? ill make sure to check my grammer when i post..LMAO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innisdb:
lollllllll
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
To answer your question about my purchasing experience, it has been good so far. I placed an order with Handtec last Wednesday. If it wasn't for the volume bug I would have received it by Friday. I should have it Tuesday morning at the soonest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
It's a pet peeve of mines too! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I also ordered "mines" from Negri. It's arriving Wednesday. The experience dealing with them was great so far. Knowing what's in the box (unless I don't get a figure :P) is even better! Recommended as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
The only difficulty was deciding whether or not I should purchase one, since I owned both the N1 and Galaxy S I thought it would be rude not to go for the GNex.

Once I'd decided, it was a matter of popping down the high street during my lunch break to grab one. I was in and out within 5 minutes, so all in all MINES was a rather pleasant experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Wait wait wait wait wait wait ... You got a gift bag with your nexus O.O!!

Does every retailer do this or is that just Negri ... omg I want to cancel my Handtec order now and order from those ppl...

On that note: Does anyone know how long it takes Google Checkout to refund your money? (Last time I use that stupid method) .. they took off the money the second I ordered my Nexus, I was under the impression you're not supposed to be charged until your order is shipped out >.>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Ordered Wed from Expansys-USA arrived Friday. Paid for overnight. Quite pleased with the service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
Mixed bag but then I expect no less from Expansys. Phone is here, I'm at work, delivered on time, no issues. I've got a billing issue that I've sent 3 emails in five days, holiday excluded, and no reply.

This fits squarely with my past dealings with Expansys: Product delivered on time as described with crappy customer service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Got mine from local Phones4U store day after official launch. Went in when it opened to find out they put the sim free price up overnight by £80 to £629 . Didn't buy it.

Phoned head office to complain. They confirmed price increase. I told them about an official phones4u tweet sent earlier in the day that the price would be £549 so they arranged £100 off from local store. Went back and picked it up for £529. Next day, the price went back down to £549.

Bunch of jokers. Only bought from there as didn't want to wait a week for my pre order from clove.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Got mine from Phones4U. It was dreadful from start to finish. To cut a long story short an error in their system for Orange upgrades meant delays. Then delays shipping. It was supposed to come the day after I ordered it but took a week instead; their customer service throughout was dire.

On top of that the "launch" on the 17th was only in one store, and they only told everyone that on the morning of the 17th!

Still, I have it now and love it. Alls well that ends well as they say :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Lol even with all your delays and everything, you still got your Nexi a week earlier than the rest of us who ordered from Handtec (:/ fml).

Least you said you like the phone, the other dude above u just complained that the service sucked :/ lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
That fits my situation as well.

On time, as described.. haven't needed customer service yet.. hopefully won't need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Ordered through Negri, cancelled it because Expansys assured me Friday delivery was a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
btw do we get some sort of warrenty ("we" = USA ppl) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Through Expansys-USA, yes. You have to send the phone to them and in-turn they send to the UK for repair. Never had to go that route, but I image it's a long process...

Better than nothing though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
Ugh, it's been a huge fiasco, and I still don't have a phone!

Originally, I ordered last Friday (8 days ago) on Expansys USA for $750. On Saturday (seven days ago), I noticed that handtec would ship to the USA from the UK, it would come out to $50 cheaper, and it looked like it would get here first (at the time handtec seemed very proactive and confident they would ship my order ASAP).

On Saturday I sent a cancellation email to expansys, ordered from handtec, and waited. When Monday came, expansys cancelled my order no problem, and handtec needed all sorts of information (my passport + utility bill) to confirm my address, so my order didn't even get fully processed until Tuesday thanks to time zone differences.

Finally, Tuesday rolled around and they announced they were going to stop shipping because of the bug - I emailed them immediately and asked they send it anyway, they gave me the 24-48hrs BS, and eventually gave me Monday. Bullsh*t.

In the end, if I had kept my Expansys order, I probably would have my GN by now, and I wouldn't be hoping a UK company gets stock they claimed they would have a week ago. At least they upgraded to expedited shipping. .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Actually they were already using Fedex overnight for international shipments, that expedited thing applies to UK orders.

Im in the same boat btw, ordered from Handtec.

The only upside to this whole thing is... nothing

The bug doesnt even apply to US users and even for those that travel, we could have easily flashed whatever Samsung decided to flash for us and in turn, delay our orders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Same with negri....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
expedited is for international orders FedEx does overnight to the US and they have 24 hour shipping for uk, Expedited is for outside of the US cause 24hour isnt offered hence expedited shipping for urgent international orders.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damagedspoon:
Hey guys!

So. This is the first time I've been stumped enough to actually post, so I can't post to the actual ROM thread. I hope someone sees this and will help me.

Currently, I've succeeded (after many redos and restores) in getting AceSMod007 v41 onto my CDMA HTC Desire (BravoC). Fought with the patch for a while but it's functional. In case it's a needed tidbit, my radio is 0.93 CM7.

The problems I'm running into aren't the ones I'm seeing most people run into. I'm not having a problem with the lock screen or bootloops. My WiFi is acting up since I loaded the rom. It refuses to even turn on. It just says "Error" under the WiFi checkbox. At one point I found a "wifi_fix.zip" in the development forum from an earlier version, but when I flashed that for some reason my phone refused to go past the HTC loading screen so I had to restore.

The bigger problem I'm having is that I absolutely cannot update my APNs. On CM7 all I had to do was flash my "cellularsouth-mms.zip" and then restore default in APNs. That doesnt work. So, I tried to manually save a new APN with the appropriate information and it refuses to save the APN settings.

Other than that I'm running great though! :-)

ok devs or people who know how to build apps.

i would like to become a dev by building apps but iv searched google and xda and i cant find the right answers so i wandered if anybody knows how to build an app for our x8.

if you could give me maybe a step step tutorial on how to build them? sorry if im asking to much but im keen :D

cheers.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
That kind of thread would be pointless cuz there are many types of app eg. Pulse with a clock widget have an entirely different code. Some apps do some things, other apps do other things. It's impossible to have a general or global tutorial of how to make an app.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les_garten:
I use my phone for Calendar and meeting events, etc

I had a Palm years ago and a Nokia communicator that would Notify of an evet or Voicemail and keep chiming until acknowledged.

How do I get something like this on the Note? If I am not next to the phone and hear the whistle or check it, I don't know if anything triggered?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Noled will show a fake notification light which works well for me. It also has a vibrate every x minutes function that I'm not sure is working for me. I tried vibrate notify but I had problems.

It might be conflicting with smart vibrator. Not sure.

Still looking for a working vibrate reminder.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben__:
I too use my android devices for events, tasks, project planning and such and it is so much better than the Palm was or will ever be!

As for the app I recommend using: pocket informant. It works great with toodledo and google calendar (and also gtasks, but I don't use that).

*see below for answer @ question.

You might want to use: Missed message flasher free. It has the option to light up the screen, use the notification lights and vibrate with:

- calendar, email, gmail, go sms pro, g+, gtalk, gvoice, k9mail, missed calls, skype, sms & mms, whatsapp and if the phone is set into silent mode, you can also choose to disable the vibrate option. Also in the donate version you can choose the option 'other apps'.

I use it with pocket informant and maildroid (free version) and it works absolutely great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
Noled doesnt affect your battery while on standby with flashing led ? no extra drain no cpu use ?

thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les_garten:
Interesting stuff here. How about missed calls or VM's?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Its fine. The nature of amoled is that only the lit portion of the screen drains battery. It's pretty minimal. Give it a try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben__:
Missed call are supported but I don't know what VM's are. If it's a messaging type of thing that is than also support I guess.

I think the program just uses the notification bar as a source to act because pocket informant isn't in the list and it does still reacts when a reminder is sent to me via the program itself.
[Streak 5 General] philipseth:
When I changed a LCD and touch screen for my customer, I saw that internal memory is made from a SD micro card. So, I decided to extend mine.

I have used a 8GB class 6 micro SD with two partitions:

1GB EXT3 and 7GB EXT3.

I got 6,58GB free internal memory beside of 1,36GB. ;)

some pictures:
[Streak 5 General] deejayviral:
i replace the internal memory with 8gb microsdhc class 10 from Kingstone and work great and the phone have more speed, i reed on a forum the phone support up to 32gb.
[Streak 5 General] philipseth:
yes, but I think there is not limitation...
[Streak 5 General] Bohemian:
I fail to see a tutorial.

Quite awhile back, someone posted an actual tutorial, but it wasn't too clear. I was hoping this might be a clear one.
[Streak 5 General] stefan.buddle:
yup this isn't a tutorial at all
[Streak 5 General] attila.m:
it is quite easy to replace the internal card when you have the Streak torn apart

i did that to mine with a 4GB class 10 and it made some difference
[Streak 5 General] philipseth:
I might need some advice, guys..

I just changed the internal card to 8GB class 10, ghosted and the bigger partition extended by ghost but when I put the card to the phone, the phone hard reseted itself. Is it correct?

thanks
[Streak 5 General] stefan.buddle:
look it up I believe you have to change your build.prop or some other file, google it for a real tutorial on how to do this properly.. I think there might be more info in the dev section

Is the default internal memory 2Gb ?
[Streak 5 General] philipseth:
yes, it is.
[Streak 5 General] tenorntex:
When I looked at my internal SD card, I found out it was a 2G with 2 partitions. (One was 256mb and the other was 1.8G)
[Streak 5 General] rsalib:
with the 2 different partitions, does one act as ram and the other as internal storage?

If that is the case, I will change my internal card to increase at least the ram portion.

Thanks in advance,

Richard
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The other partition is the /cache partition, increasing it wont do anything.

Using a faster card could increase read speeds, but increasing size wont do anything beyond having more space, unless you start using compcache or something to increase available ram, and that doesnt involve the sd
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rgoyena:
I love it!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bionicmonkey:
Bionic ftw!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennydied23:
I completely agree with everything in the OP. The Bionic is a great phone even with its flaws and poor treatment from the manufacturer, and I believe it will only get better if Motorola holds to their promises of bugfixes and ICS, and the possiblity of an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] _base2:
I can't believe I just read all of that on my phone.... but I'm glad that I did! The Bionic goes to 11!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] afma_afma:
jus curious, when u were offered other phones...did u already cross the 14days return period ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Yes, this was only last week (purchased shortly after release), but I've been in touch with them about these issues since very quickly after the 14 days. I've called Verizon nearly 15 times, and only recently have they made this offer, and that's only because I've had especially bad troubles with the travel and amount of wired-headset-calling I do. I doubt that they'll be open for that if you don't have a history of calls and complaints.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] afma_afma:
cool..thank u for the info..my bionic has been sailing smooth with no issues this far..i am hoping it stays that way.. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
Actually the galaxy nexus got slammed for having an absolutely terrible camera. I was going to see my bionic and get it, until I saw that. Dealbreaker.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eallan:
It's certainly not worse than the bionic camera.

I'd trade your bionic in a heartbeat. Mine is in a drawer collecting dust because it's awful. Most regretted phone purchase of my life.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stultz:
my bionic is garbage the constant data dropping makes me want to throw it against a wall and the only thing stopping me from doing so is the hope that I can sell it to some chump for at least 200 bucks when the nexus comes out.

smartphone minus data connection = ****ty phone with poor battery life.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Th3demolitionman:
From what I hear they say the data dropping out is common with all 4g devices. I cave from the thunderbolt and had the same experience. I'm seriously considering switching to a 3g device
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djfly61:
i had a blackberry to a facinate now the bionic. BIONIC IS THE BEST
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheDigitalSlacker:
You can force you phone into CDMA only instead of LTE/CDMA. I was told at a VZW store thats a possible work around. I did switch back to my OG droid incredible until the bionic gets software fixes.

I also wish the screen was better, but getting everything i want in a phone would make it 800$+
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
Just got the Bionic a couple days ago. I haven't had any data issues yet but I have it in CDMA only mode at the moment. Will test it in a 4g area in a couple days as I am right on the edge of a 4g area. I also have a Inc2 and have had a Fascinate and D1. This phone rocks for me. Battery is decent, its fast, solid build, blur (nonblur) is kind of nice now. Camera software isn't great but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Phone is also a little thick. I am optimistic that the data bug will be fixed with the next update.

The Bionic camera is not one of the problems with this phone. It promptly takes good pictures and shoots very usable videos.
