[HTC Sensation] gowm:
hmmm was going to go to ICS, but might hang fire a bit longer, can anyone get this working on ICS please :)
[HTC Sensation] Weeeman:
Any idea where i can find the orange uk stock rom
[HTC Sensation] marian3k:
Have a look in stickies. There is a thread called 'Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection'.
[HTC Sensation] secat187:
Is this likely to work with T-Mobile now that Orange and T-Mobile have joined? I had doubt before, but now that the network sharing between the two of them has gotten so that they share 3g signals I have a bit more hope.
[HTC Sensation] Dunc001:
Has anyone got this working on ICS yet?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think it works in my ROM, I havent been able to test it because I'm not in orange but I have had no complaints to tell me its not working :)
[HTC Sensation] micoll:
Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between this and the stock rom?

I had the stock rom installed but found that it kept turning off and on and ended up making my signal worse.

Is this an improved version?? I would be interested in it if it is:o
[HTC Sensation] Dunc001:
Jonny, I flashed your ROM a week or so back specifically to test this. First time I ran the app and switched SignalBoost on it took forever but eventually the house turned green, but I couldn't dial out or send sms (dialler showed dialling but never did anything). After that first time it never turned green again regardless of reboots/fix permissions, etc. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Looks like you will have to wait for the orange OTA update for ICS signal boost, like I said, I can't test/debug it unless I have logcats because I'm not on Orange
[HTC Sensation] Dunc001:
I can post a log for you. Just radio buffer?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yeah, also logs of what happens why you try to turn the Sig boost on via the app :)
[HTC Sensation] gowm:
any joy on making this work, i have installed 5.5.0 darkforest but the house never seems to go green :(

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

also i had the same problem before so i added the line to the build and default prop's and that fixed it, but i cant edit either off these ? any ideas on that ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What was the line you added in build.prop?
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
vodafone uk have this, but it works a little differently. you need to buy a sure signal box that plus into your router which uses your broadband to use their network, were as orange uses the wifi module to connect, vodafone still use the standard radio signal so its a tad better on battery life.
[HTC Sensation] knownuser:
vodafone sure signal is a femtocell it uses 3G signal to allow your phone to connect to the vodafone network over your internet connection.

the orange system is UMA and is usually a wifi connection that sends messages to the orange core network.

in my work i've tested both systems (i worked on the BT version of UMA that might still be active)
[HTC Sensation] gowm:
i couldnt see

rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so

Add that line to the bottom of both files, make sure you have permission to write to these files first

when ever i got the red house that wouldnt leave i just used a text editor to add these to build and default prop again, even though i had added them before they had seemed to dissapear and everything seemed to work again, well at least for a while :)
[HTC Sensation] gowm:
anyone closer to getting this to work ?
[HTC Sensation] SiParle:
Does anybody know if it has successfully been installed on either a custom ROM or a one s?
[Galaxy S II General] astromark:
I've just got a new S2. I thought my Desire was good but this is fantastic.

However an iPhone-owning friend took a look and said "the screen's not very white is it?" I compared it to his and he was right - very grey. But the brightness was set to auto, so I turned it up and it was a lot whiter. But then he said "it's very green". And there is a greenish tint.

So I compared it two two other (about 3 months old) S2s that people have at work (using the *#0*# tests).

And my screen is definitely inferior: less white and more off-colour. Yes I did check that the screen modes were the same (eg standard/dynamic/movie) and that the brightnesses were the same. None of the phones had screen protectors on.

I know sometimes there are differences in screens, often because they're sourced from more than one manufacturer. But I thought Samsung made these screens?

So in essence, the screen on my phone seems to be worse than others, and markedly less good than my pal's iphone - for which I will get no end of ribbing!

Is this a common trait? Am I seeing things? Should I return it?

Love the phone otherwise. FYI it's brand new on Virgin Mobile in the UK and is running 2.3.4.
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
Try updating to one of the 2.3.5 based roms and I would definitely recommend trying out supercurio's "Voodoo Screen" app from the market(combine this with the movie preset found in settings->display->screen mode) as well. Just compared my SGS2 to an iPhone 4S and I'm really glad I didn't make the switch, as while the latter does have an edge when it comes to screen resolution, the former more than makes up for it with its 4.3 inch super amoled plus display. The iPhone's browser was a little bit faster, and the camera better, but I still I preferred the SGS2. Once it gets ICS it'll be absolutely amazing.
[Galaxy S II General] minidou-77:
No don't set the screen to the movie preset AND use Supercurio's app at the same time !

But You'r right set it to the movie preset the screen will be more color-respective
[Galaxy S II General] stijnr:
Supercurio's app is great although still in progress. I'm also used Screen Adjuster to compensate for the greenish hue (red is set to +2 and blue to +5.

I ran into another application yesterday here on xda that let's you adjust sharpness and hue... let me see if I can find it again.

Edit: this app. Haven't tried it yet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366280
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
Why not? Looks a lot better than it does on standard.
[Galaxy S II General] kwazi:
You have to understand that the screen technologies used in each phone is different.

The iPhone uses an IPS screen.

The Galaxy S II uses a Super AMOLED Plus screen. It's not very good at handling whites, but it has the advantage that it doesnt need any power to show black pixels (unlike the iPhone), so its more black and more efficient at showing blacks.
[Galaxy S II General] astromark:
Great replies, thanks all.

Since posting stijnr, I've got Screen Adjuster on, and interestingly my settings aren't a million miles from yours, red +4, blue +6. One thing I do miss from the Desire is the optical track button - I'm finding adjusting things that need a little bit of input to be quite tricky on the touchscreen.

Toss3 you made me laugh, not intentionally I'm sure! I will flash a new rom at some point - god knows how many I got through on the Desire - but I will spend a few weeks appreciating this stock ROM! Best thing about Virgin Mobile is it's non-branded and as Samsung shipped it. Not even any logos on the case.

Good point kwazi on the different screen technologies. But that doesn't explain different S2s having different display characteristics. Anyway I'd rather have this larger screen - the iphone screen may be beautiful but it looks very... small these days for what is a premium handset.

I'll check out some other S2s in stores in the next couple of days. If this is what they're shipping I'll live with it. If it's a 50/50 chance of the other screen I might try my luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Dannyboyni:
Most of the viewing on our smartphones involves looking at whites, webpages for example, NOT blacks. And the Iphone 4 displays superior whites than the Galaxy s II.
[Galaxy S II General] htcplussony:
I've gotten to the point where I think I would be happier with an regular lcd screen.

While the tech is nice in Super Amoled Plus, the quality and consistency of the display that's being manufactured is all over the place.
[Galaxy S II General] PeartFan40:
You're comparing apples to oranges here. iPhone uses IPS technology, while Galaxy S 2 uses SAMOLED +. You're going to see differrnces between them. Personally, I wouldn't worry about the differences, or even see them as drawbacks; as each display has it's strengths and weaknesses. Industry standard resolution for most smartphones is 800x480, which is quite good on a screen size of 4" or larger.

Next time your friend pokes you about your display, remind him that his iPhone is still 3g device. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] hybreda:
no, he's comparing apples and desserts, not oranges! :D
[Galaxy S II General] hruskozrout:
I compared SGS and SGSII with auto brightness and manual lowest setting.

SGS brightness with auto or lowest setting is at cca 50% brightness level on SGSII, I think Samsung sets brightness range quite down for saving battery life and users dont have to use Screen Filter app in the night:)

But imho auto brightness is low for me - at the edge of usability.
[Galaxy S II General] Rollies77:
I remember when I first got this phone about 10 months ago, the greenish/blueish tint was so very much visible on the screen. Even when the screen is off, I can see a shade of blue on the reflection of the screen. But then it gradually "wear off" until the green tint disappear completely after about a week later. I don't know if it really disappear or just me being used to it. Or maybe after I update it to 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, I just can't tell. But I certainly feel it's not there anymore.

Edit: Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366756

Hello, currently I am using the Galaxy S II (1.5ghz Qualcomm S3 version). It almost play 720p MKV videos with RockPlayer, but not quite, since the audio lags behind the video.

Can someone give RockPlayer a try with some hd MKV files on their Nexus and see if it can handle them? Low bitrates will manage, but I'm looking at 720p and 1080p MKV videos at 2000kbps or more.

I am interested in waiting for the American version of the Galaxy Note, but it will also use the Qualcomm S3 chip, which means even though it has a larger screen, it won't play be playing my videos. If the Nexus can manage these videos, I rather get it instead.

There are some legal hd videos such as big buck bunny, which can be converted from MP4 to MKV.

(PS. Yes I want to watch HD videos on my cellphone screen.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I am the same way. I play 720P .mkv on my phone. i currently have the Rezound(the Nexus is not available in the US yet). When i was using the Thunderbolt, it would play these files, but unless i overclocked the phone it would play out-of-sync(but even then, it would still be slightly out-of-sync).

On the Rezound, 99% of the time the files play just fine(no sync issues). I found that the best player to use is 'Dice Player', followed by MX Video Player.

I did say "99%", and yeah.. for some reason, on rare occasions a video will start to slip out-of-sync, and when it does it's with MX Video Player.. but if do it through Dice Player it plays fine.

I will say though that having 'Sense' on this phone isn't exactly a big plus when it comes to try to getting the best performance out of it. Luckily, the Nexus doesn't have Sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moa77:
I have done a few BluRay rips to 1280x720 (native nexus) and they play on the Galaxy Nexus perfectly using build in player. Much, much better than they ever did on my 10.1 tablet. No issues at all.

The scene I use for test is the bit in Inception where the tables explode in the cafe, this really makes some struggle. No prob on the nexus, very impressed.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rosco64209:
I'm sure there will be alot of reviews when the prime hits, but until then if you have any interesting videos or articles on the prime post them here.

Heres one that was posted yesterday...

www.ritchiesroom.com/2011/11/28/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-first-look/

The guy that made the video said if you had any questions that he would try to address them in his next video which is suppose to be uploaded today or tomorrow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
Felt more like watching an advertisement than a review.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
As far as we know from the article and video, they got the Prime officially from ASUS, so they are maybe a bit biased :)

That thing is going to be AWESOME anyway :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
This has already been posted many a time...:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Don't most reviewers get stuff from companies to review though?

Either way didn't seem like an overly ad like review, just a first look as its said to be. Really only times he praises it is the design, the nice ips display, and good sound.

But I can see how the look of the video makes it look ad like!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rob Irizarry:
Agreed. Lots of sites get items to review. Not too many can afford to buy all this great stuff!

And I think the video was well done - good production values and style. I didn't feel it was an ad - simply that the blogger was serious enough to put in the work to make a professional video.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
in his youtube video, he says that Asus ask him not to put online is next video before the 1th of December. Maybe a hint for the anouncement Asus is still suppose to make aboutt the Prime !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gnopps:
Indeed, that guy didn't have a single bad word to say about the tablet. He was as bought as can be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Same for the guys from ZTOP who put the pictures of the pre-production unit up.

It seems this thing is gloing to be great :)

I am still hoping for a this years release in Germany :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
Probably so, but it's humorous how Apple gets away with those kinds of reviews on a daily basis and no one cares. It's about time Android stuff had some tech sites on their side.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mapas01:
It looked like one of the pictures on his review page was of a high profile video of the Smurfs playing.

I guess he will be showing that in his next review video on Dec 1st?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
What exactly would you expect him to say bad in a this review? He actually does have a few criticisms but really its a pretty general look at the unit and I am not surprised he is impressed with it. The only things he praised that we wouldn't really know ourselves is the ips+ screen and the sound being of good quality.

But he still does level some complaints

not a criticism but shows not a huge bias as well

Personally thought it was a well done general review

Re: Taiwan. Do insides of buildings in Taiwan look different than Swedish buildings :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DarsVaeda:
Would be nice to have the same picture quality of a amythist as comparison.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Yep, cause by looking at the Asus logo on the table, wich is supposed to be white but render yellow in the picture, you can guess that the real color of the Champagne Prime won't be as yellow as we can see here. Plus both color are reflective material so environement plays a big role in the actual looks of the devices.

It's really hard to judge those correctly without having both of them in your hand :(

The first look says the dock will retail for 129.99. I was pretty sure it was 149.99. Lots of conflicting details regarding this device! My main concern as with most of us is the official release date. :)

I have a reminder set for midnight central standard time (-6) US for the Ritchies room review. I hope he's not late. I'm obsessing...again.

Could care less about anti aliasing, it looks very cool
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
Yeah if your looking at the images, something seems wrong with them... maybe compressed? The video looked great to me.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
screenshots are from the pc version though!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
I posted the links that I did to show information about the new game added on the tegra zone.

Information about the game and images of what it looks like, nobody said the images or gameplay video are from the tegra 3 version of the game so stop crying about it please...

I doubt the Tegra 3 version will look as good as the PC version and dont expect it to, Tegra 3 doesnt support AA and it has a tablet GPU not a gaming PC GPU, I think its still an impressive game for a tablet according to the articles I posted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I don't think anybody was crying. They were just pointing out to people like me that those screens and videos weren't from the tablet. Personally I'm surprised they are not. I went straight to the video and was a little disappointed even thinking it was the Tegra 3. It did not look like a PC quality game to me. Luckily for me I'm not buying this to game. I have plenty of other gaming devices laying around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Lol certainly not crying about it. But initially people complained that the tegra 3 images were not very good and you respond with "clearer" images which I took to mean you thought these were also tegra 3 images but clearer then the original. Also when talking about the original article you mention something seems wrong with the pictures and that the video (of the pc version) looks great which would lead me to believe you thought the video was also of the tegra 3 version.

just trying to clear up any confusion if there is any on where the screenshots come from.

As for the game itself I can't make to much a comment yet as I would need to see some actual in game footage as opposed to just screens for the tegra 3 version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] delpiero223:
Here are tegra screenshots: http://www.tegrazone.com/games/davincithd
