Had mine since September with no problem
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] skippy660:
I just got my tab from Amazon a few days ago. The serial number doesn't follow the format mentioned here. It starts with R62B

A

. Is this from one of the newest batches?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tenderidol:
Mine is R63B94...... and so far it doesn't show any rings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mcschweg:
I caught the famous newton rings yesterday after 2 months of ownership - and paniced at once. I read about all the disappointed users and returns and repairs. And decided to do the same. Got a ticket from the berlin workshop, that officially repairs for samsung. But i like experimenting. So i followed some leads before sending in. Put it in the fridge, warm it up on the heating. Both had no effect. At first. Disappointed, I let it lie beside my keyboard and continued working. When i looked at the 10.1 after 40 minutes again, the stain, that measured 2,5 * 5,5 cm in the morning and rather grew bigger when trying to treat, was shrunk to 1*3 cm or so. I did not trust my eyes. After another 10 mins, it was only the size of a fingerprint. And then - the whole screen totally went back to completely normal on its own. No rubbing or pressing could change that development.

My conclusion, and i can not believe, that samsung has not published that quickly and clearely, is that it is a moisture-problem. The weather these days is moist and also, i worked with the tab in moist surrounding lately. The "healing" set in, when i had the tab heated up to ca. 30 - 40 degrees celsius and then let it rest for some time with no cover in a dry room at 20 degrees celsius.

Try it before complaining, if you can live with thecircumstances. I do not know, if the replacement-screens of samsung is different, new at all or only dried by samsung... i will not send in mine anymore.

I can confirm, that the healing by administer some heat is permanent and also by doing the fridge and the heating again after the healing, i could not provoke any stain again.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mark.m.moran:
Mine is a B9 tablet and no rings at all thank God! It was my third Tab though!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tenderidol:
Just out of curiosity, did you check the serial number for the replacement? May be they sent you a new as a replacement :D
[LG Optimus 2x] fch38:
Hello there,

For the price tag (330€ sim free where i live) this is indeed a very interesting phone. However after reading quite a lot of threads in this forum, i still can't make my mind. I'm mostly concerned about the many issues that have plagged this device since the beginning:

1) Where the reboot/freeze etc... issues mostly experienced by early buyers ? (i.e Has LG quietly fixed these issues on later production models ?) - not talking about software updates here.

2) How good is the stock GB update from LG, reliability wise ?

3) If i were to go with a custom ROM, am i right to assume i would gain in reliability but have to sacrifice some of the phone's features (for example the radio, camera features etc...) ?

4) Finally, would you recommand spending an extra 120€ for a galaxy SII and avoid the potential pain alltogether...

Bear in mind this would be my first smartphone so i have no idea how reliable these are in general...

If you could shed some lights on this, that would be much appreciated

Best regards,

fch38
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
You will basically be endlessly tweaking this phone to get it functional. Mines on cm7 and running well at the moment. Galaxy s2 is more set and forget and is sort of the flagship android phone. I anticipate the sgs2 will have better resale value so if you switch out phones on the reg then the sgs2 may work out cheaper.

Everything is more or less functional on cm7 Tom's, camera.works, radio works. I think there are some prblens with HDMI out but its really a useless feature.

Sgs2 will get ICS way before us if that's a deciding factor.

I wouldn't buy a 2x if you're going to use the stock rom, it uses too much ram and multitasking sucks as a result, cm7 is great though.

Hardware wise this phone seems great, I have used cheaper android phones and in comparison the LG is like holding a block of steel compared to flimsy plastic of others. Much nicer to hold than an iPhone 4.

I can't stand having a pass-code on my lock screen...

I used to use enhanced email on gingerbread but it doesn't work on ICS (crashes after putting in account info).

Does anyone currently use or know of an alternative programs that works with ICS or a way to bypass the requirement to have a pass-code with the stock email app?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
there is a reason your it department is requiring a lock code, I would inquire there before bypassing any work enforced security.

There is one thread in the Android general apps sections where a guy wrote a new email apk that fakes responses back to exchange, you could go looking for it.

I use touchdown, not sure if it works on ics, you could give the trial version a whirl. I don't know if touchdown will bypass the lock screen. I like it cause on remote wipe, touchdown is the only thing affected

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnnorth:
Touchdown works with ICS when you use the slide lockscreen. I'm assuming that because the app has a pin lock it meets the protocols.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
The slide lockscreen is the standard ICS lockscreen correct?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnnorth:
Yes, it's this one:

My email admin is boggled...

Using the ICS Email account for Exchange/Active Sync it is trying to lockdown CAMERA USE!

Has anyone seen this??

My email admin inists he never set group policy for camera lock down and went with MS defaults. He's checking - but this is something new on ICS vs Gbread.

Using Touchdown if he doesn't fix this . Don't mind a pin code and wipe if lost but do NOT want camera blocked!

Tried these apps on CMIUI, CM 7.1, MS2.1Ginger ROMs, and on all of them I get FCs. They all worked on Cm7RC1.5 and MS1.0Ginger. Anyone has slightest idea, why I am experiencing such problems? Thnks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
I searched and no one has mentioned this yet so I thought I would bring it up. Tokenparser has a public key, hash private key, and other info. Is this just used for auth in applications or is it used for something else? Does it have to do with signing the bootloader? I'm guessing its not that easy but thought I might check.

Bumping... Anyone know?
[Galaxy Tab General] alr11389:
I installed this ROM from this forum "[ROM][DEVTEAM][GSM][20/10/11]GSM GalaxyTab Honeycomb team-- HoneyComb RC1 UPLOADED!!". I'm new on Galaxy Tab but I have anothers htc phones with androids. I had installed clockwork recovery on it and I did wipe all and I installed the zip rom.

First time it works, but it didn't show keyboard and I couldn't skip initial configuration. So, I tried to wipe all and install the zip again.

Now I can't power my tab. I pressed power button for minutes. I connect USB and it don't do anything. But if I connect USB I can wait for a time and it shows a big battery icon and if I press the volume down button(only) I can go to download mode and use ODIN(it takes some time to "power on").

I tried to install some firmwares that are on this forum but anything works. As a curiosity, Odin only takes 7 second to make the repartition and pit operation. And another 7 second to make the tar operation.

If I plug the USB and I don't touch anything. Tab powers on and shows logo "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and I can power it off perfect(the problem is power on again)

(I've searched a lot on forums, nothing works for me).

If you are willing to go back to gingerbread 2.3.5 you can try this build by przekret

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334152

(Warning: I have not been able to successfully root the 2.3.5 firmware - still looking for ways to root it).

or you can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/

1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 and downloaded a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file

1b. or download this 2.3.5 (unrooted and hard to root version from above link)

2.a. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and I got

tar.md 5 file.

3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.

4. Go to download mode on the G-tab

and click start. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.

Can't guarentee if it would work, but good luck.

btw, have you check this one?

[Galaxy Tab General] phearus:
Bad times my friend.

Another solution would be to install the Overcome 4.0 rom - it may be enough to fix whatever has gone wrong.

Just search for it on Google - plenty of instructions on their website (odin install too).

If your Honeycomb experience has left a bad taste in your mouth you should look at @technomaner's CM7 port. Very good rom and actually useable as an everyday rom too.
[Galaxy Tab General] alr11389:
Thanks for replies. I'll try your solutions soon and i'll post my results. (Now I have white screen when I connect my tab to usb, but I can go to download mode with patience).

The most extrange for me is that ODIN only takes 7 seconds in flash another firmwares. I'm sure that something is wrong.

PD: I had seen the post about hard brick or software brick. The hard brick solution I won't try it, but software solution I tried to download samfirmware but I only get a pit file. I didn't see a file with the tar archive.
[Galaxy Tab General] alr11389:
Oh my ****ing god!! thanks so much! I did your steps with fus check downloader and I put my tab charging on a electric plug and it works now! :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Super Octet:
Hi everyone,

I am on the edge of buying the Motorola RAZR, but I have a question :

Could someone confirm that it is possible to sync DRM-Protected .wma files ? To do so, you would have to connect your RAZR to your computer and use something like " Windows Media Sync " on the phone.

I saw that it was possible to do so on the Droid 2 in some other threads ( i.e : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755986 ).

I would be very thankful if someone could confirm this for me.

[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
It seems that the Htc camera doesn't like my.

Yet I've discovered another problem that's include the camera. It seems that if I make video's the mic is clipping. It a shame realy with that great of a camera.

I'ts only with the camera and not when I call.

I've searched but couldn't find a similar thread. Someone ideas?
[HTC Sensation] celelivada:
it has been fixed in the amazed camera, you can flash it. But for a instant solution just switch off stereo recording, it should be better.
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
Thanks but the amazed camera is only for sense 3.5 right?
[HTC Sensation] celelivada:
yes, but I dont see no problems with sense 3.5 so far, and i have been using it quite a while now.
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
I like to overall look of sense 3.0. I've used other 3.5 rom's but ARHD 3.6.7 suits me best and the camera is the only thing bugging me
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
The camera clipping noises is one of the biggest reasons as to why I moved to sense 3.5. It's fixed in 3.5 and works great for me
[HTC Sensation] celelivada:
you can still turn off stereo recording if you really dont want to move to 3.5. I like it much better than 3.0 but thats my opinion...
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Sense 3.5 completely takes care of the problem. That also was the main reason I jumped to 3.5. I think it does exist a bit in the Amaze cam mod, and also the Blu ray mod as well. Turning stereo off helped in those mods but not completely.

I wish we knew where the problem lies....is it a kernel issue or something else?
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
hmm strange.. First I thought it was a hardware problem. Never thought it was this deep in the software
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Yeah I found it the hard way by going on vacation at the end of the summer, and while the video looked good, they were practically unwatchable do to the mic clipping. It's been written about here a lot. Also if you head over to the Amaze forums you'll see people complaining with the same issue.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread.....I had some time today to play around with some other sense 3.5 Roms. I tried the latest Insert Coin, Sensay, and Elegancia. If any of these Roms had the Amaze camera I flashed the stock sense 3.5 camera after wiping caches. To my amazement after doing some testing, the high Mic gain came back in stereo recording, just like it did in sense 3.0 roms. So I restored my backup of Bulletproof 2.2.1 and did some stereo recording with the stock 3.5 camera and it sounds normal and good, the way it should. So right now Bulletproof is the only 3.5 sense Rom doing it for me.

Anyone have an idea what is being overwritten in some of the other sense 3.5 roms that would cause the high Mic gain to come back? I have some ideas that it could be remnants of the amaze cam mod, since that is technically a sense 3.0 camera, or possibly the beats mod. Wish I knew because I'd love to jump on one of these other Roms but decent audio for video is important to me.

Again sorry to resurrect this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxey:
Hey there,

Heard that for example Navigon is not really working well on the GN.

Do you have any suggestions for offline Navigation that actually likes ICS / the GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Navfree :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
Is gmaps not available outside the us? Just curious because I always se EU owners running third party nav apps. Maybe its a data thing instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Google maps with navigation works fine in the UK at least... but having it all "on board" is, I guess, a bit more reliable if you're heading into areas you may not have a data connection. I know you can now pre-cache map areas, but does the navigation part cache the whole route? I doubt it, and if you happened to go off route where you had no connection, you're a bit stuffed! ;)

That's why I also have Copilot 8 installed... which works BTW. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilbo Fraggins:
Copilot live however does not :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PCC:
I thought Copilot Live didn't work either but... when I first installed it, it would load and go through some of the initial setup and then either give me a black screen or force close, so I reported it through the android market and left it installed nevertheless.

Today I tried to open it just to check again that it wasn't working and for some odd reason... it loaded up and asked me for my account password and downloaded my maps.. and it's still working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
I think it does cache a bit, as I've used it in areas where there's no connection.

It also has a low-res version of the maps that it flips to if it loses data for too long (no detail, just lines for roads IIRC). I think that's small so it covers a much larger area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herzlich:
sygic does not work as well :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PCC:
Never mind, Copilot Live loads and you can select destination and it calculates the route but as soon as you say go it force closes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxey:
Huh....so copilot and navfree works?

Hm at least 2 alternatives..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
CoPilot Live Pro 8.2.0.368 seems to work ok.

The first time I installed it, it went through some setup stuff, but then kept minimising itself to the background. Trying to start it again didn't help.

I rebooted the phone and now it runs fine. I haven't tried navigating with it, but I've entered a destination and pressed "go". It correctly calculated a route, showed my current location, and was ready to go.

I'll try it on the road tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Sygic FLEET also work ok :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Well. It was working. Now it just keeps dropping into the background again.

It doesn't "force close" it just waits in the notification bar saying "tap here to maximise Copilot". If you tap it maximises for a few seconds showing the splash screen then drops into the background again.

Anyone know any workarounds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I discovered that if I am just patient and keep clicking "tap here to maximise Copilot" that eventually it will work on the third or forth attempt.

However, I have just tried turning on "force 2D acceleration" and so far Copilot has started up perfectly every time. It's also starts up much quicker. I don't know if that is just coincidence and it will go back to playing up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxey:
Gonna try that ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I turned force acceleration off again, and Copilot is still starting up quickly first time every time. No idea what I have done but I hope it stays this way! I've tried rebooting a couple of times and it seems to be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
you can tell all Google Maps to cache all of the route. Works with GNavigation too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canishu:
Navigon is working now. just downloaded the map by Wlan. and the app started. did not had a chance to test it on the road.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruimoura:
Ndrive works just fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guv69:
Navigon installs - but when you get to the end of the 1.8GB Europe map download, it says download failed!

I logged it hoping to find a solution!

Could anyone tell me the wallpaper size for the Galaxy Nexus? And maybe post up some good ones/links to good sites for HD wallpapers?

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
I'm looking for a plain black one in case anyone can point me to one already made. I heard a black wall paper helps conserve battery power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I'm just trying some wallpapers at the moment, and it's as annoying as trying to find one that fits well for a honeycomb tablet :/

And yeh with SAMOLED screens, darker uses less battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Thanks. Can I just make one myself using MS Paint or so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
It seems like the existing wall papers have a size of 960 x 853 pixels.

I created this plain black wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
I don't know why the stock Wallpapers were released at that Res as they have to be upscaled to fit. Wallpapers for Native Res will be 1440x1280 if you want nice crisp HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/any/

Crop to 1440x1280 for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
so that's why the basic wallpapers that come with the device look like crud ha :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Thanks!

If I want a basic plain all-black wall paper, what format should I save it as? I know jpg works, but is there maybe a format that uses up less resources?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Plain black png will be considerably smaller I'd imagine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
I made a couple of fractal based wallpapers at 1440 x 1280, both using a black background. The second one is fairly dark, for those who want to conserve their battery without going completely black. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
I don't think thats correct. It's a 720 screen so the native resolution would be 1280x720 (widescreen)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
The wallpaper stretches to cover all 5 homescreens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
The resolution on one screen would be 720x1280. Across five screens it's 1440x1280.

The same as the old standard being 480x800 vs 960x800.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
My apologies, I didn't even consider the wallpaper being over 5 screens :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jstegeman:
Or, is it 1440x1184, being that 96 px at the bottom are reserved for the soft-keys and don't ever display wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaffaaf27:
A black 1440x1280 would be awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
If you check the math, the Aspect Ratio for 1440x1280 is exactly the same as it is for the lower res stock wallpapers. i.e, the 96 px aren't a factor.

If it's plain black the res doesn't matter. Just cover the camera lens of your phone, take a picture and set picture as Wallpaper. Simple! ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryant22:
Over the last 24 hours i've noticed my mini pro doing something wierd.

The home button seems to not work/phone not responding to it. but also the lockscreen no longer pops up when i turn the screen on. I've looked in both the settings and cyanogen mod setttings.

I know i could probably fix it with a factory reset but i really don't want to have to do that. because i have apps/setup exactly how i like it.

Has anyone else experienced this and know of an easy fix?

Thanks in advance,
