[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
It's a very odd one in landscape they light up, in portrait mode they don't. Well, when I noticed that problem I immedeately flashed framework-res.apk - didn't fix so I remembered when I went to recovery they did light up, so did I and started counting seconds while it loaded into it but they didn't light up. So is this some kindo of physical damage? Landscape uses obviously different LED's, it ruins the niceness from that phone, when bottom bar is dark :( At the moment i was using Nik's Trinity 2.0 rom and i'm using it so far.

Can you guys provide some help, it will increases my love to the phone substantially. :)

Therefore my phone will be shiny and elegant again!! :)
[HTC Incredible S] owziee:
I don't think you need to worry that it's a physical damage... If that was the case landscape buttons would be dead aswell. I wish I could help you but why not just flash an official rom and start over? I think running an HTC rom should fix the buttons at least...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes I would agree that you need to try a stock HTC ROM before you blame it on the hardware.
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Yes, but they worked in recovery earlier :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
When you boot in recovery, it is not using the custom kernel that your ROM is using. In order to rule out hardware, you need to check the phone using the stock HTC IncS kernel and a stock ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Installed CM 7.1 nope didn't work and tried a load of kernels...

So how do i take that apart?
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
get back stock to test whether it is working,cm7 wasn't stock though..
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Don't lose root.... newest stock will up date your h-boot
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
I don't want to know to stock I know how these lights work. They depend on framework-res.apk and on kernel. Ok well stock may change but it's 5% reasonable. Is there some kind of diagnostic tool out? A fastboot one will be great.
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
UPDATE: 2 days ago I used my phone as router and it was charging, so yesterday I did disconnect my phone and saw lights worked. While in bus they started blinking

(like dying bulb) and few minutes ago i barely saw them and then everything was dark again. Sometimes they get revived for some time and process is under loop again :(

I'm trying to remember, it occured after attempts to get it charge, Incredible S usb dock doesn't work properly so i crumpled it a little bit and finally it turned on. First notice were the lights, and after heavy charge they got somehow revived. I want to see this panel with my own eyes, can someone put disassemble guide please?

I'm pretty sure new backlit is quite expensive but unfortunately Physical damage it is.
[HTC Incredible S] uggies:
It should be ROM's problem?

Maybe flash another ROM or restore stock ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Nah, it shouldn't :(
[Blade General] dink-x10:
Hi guys,

Anyone care to share what sort of quadrant and linpack scores they are getting from their blade?

I'm running CM7.1.0 installed via the gen1 to gen2 tpt method.

My quadrant score is 960 and linpack (single thread) is around 9 mflops.

Pretty good score on quadrant for a budget device imo, probably because the graphics are quite good, linpack score exposes the slower cpu though.

Anyone beat those scores?
[Blade General] n3tk0:
Yep, without any changes, 990 :D

With some overclock 1100 points.
[Blade General] jj_95nano:
1445 points in quadrant standard... see attached screenie-
[Blade General] xyz`1:
What ROM are you using?!I only get around 850 no OC in quadrant..
[Blade General] stkfigure:
Quadrant Benchmark sucks, use ANTUTU, for a proper Benchmark score. And please mention what roms you are using and what frequency is your processor running at.
[Blade General] the_crevis:
Even ANTUTU does not give accurate benchmark scores, no mobile benchmark really does. for example users have reported scoring around 200 points for 2D graphics on the galaxy nexus, whereas my ZTE blade scores about 300.
[Blade General] stkfigure:
ANTUTU is still more accurate than quadrant.
[Blade General] sqbo:
1770 on AnTuTu with newest CM7 Burtslam´s build
[Blade General] Gokh:
Sej last build + wbaw last kernel

Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Burstlam's KANG at 748Mhz.

View attachment 922142
[Blade General] Gokh:
At the same freq, you get better graphics Oo, you have burstlam kernel?

Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Yeah. His build and kernel.
[Blade General] karthiknr:
This is from today evening. Wbaw's KANG and Kernel.

View attachment 922165
[Blade General] Gokh:
It's interesting, the only value which change is the 2d/3d graphics

Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Yes. Wbaw has overclocked the GPU in his kernel.
[Blade General] wbaw:
It doesn't seem to affect the Antutu scores for some reason, I don't know why. You can see it in the UI & 3D games though. Those graphics scores vary on every run anyway & they're worthless, Antutu thinks we have better 2D graphics than the Galaxy Nexus.

The database IO score was a bit higher in mine, I think thats because of the ondemand updates & io_is_busy setting.

My kernel is based on Burstlam's so it's not surprising the scores are similar.
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Hmm. But still the scores seem to be pretty high. Maybe because of the overclock. And like you said there is lot of visual improvement in games which Antutu may not calculate accurately.
[Defy General] maprix:
I'm using MS2Ginger on my Defy with green lens and it runs nearly perfect. But when I try to use Google Maps the phone freezes after some seconds. In the best case Google Maps is killed by Android because it is not responding, in the worst the phone needs to be rebooted. Does anyone else have this problem?

This problem remembers me very much to the problem with the stock froyo roms.

Some data:

Defy green lens

MS2Ginger 2.1

Google Maps 5.12.0
[Defy General] TJKV:
Try increasing the vsel for your highest clockspeed. Too low -> phone hangs and restarts in CPU intensive apps like Maps.
[Defy General] maprix:
sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096;

seems to help as well. Would be goot to integrate it into the installation image.
[Defy General] Gianluca85:
Hi. I have a defy red lens. last month I installed motoginger 2, but it is lens green and I would like to take full advantage of my terminal. I tried to install the 2.1 ms2ginger lens,only wipe cache and dalvik cache and restore system only, but the phone hangs on M. So I restored but motoginger. How do I install the ms2ginger red without changing kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxppp:
So I just rooted my nexus s, installed koushes recovery manager, applied his ics zip and then applied the google apps addon, selected 'reboot', and it has sat on the 'google' boot screen for ten minutes now.

What do i do?

Edit, i just pulled the battery, ran the installer on its own (didnt install gapps) and it booted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Did you wipe everything accordingly?

For ICS to work, you have to wipe /data, /boot, /system, /cache partitions (mounts & storage menu in CWM if I'm not mistaken).

Then, load the ics.zip and the Gaddons again, see if that works :)

looks like that is a UK based one from what i can see from region. Interesting..Thanks mate.:) will try it out
[Galaxy S II General] mariotme:
sorry for asking but is it a test build or kies official release?
[Galaxy S II General] MODKID:
same qustion

is this official or a test build ??
[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
i can't seem to find it in testmode so it's probably an experimental build yet published for testing.

anyone installed and can provide the list of CSC's it has ?
[Galaxy S II General] mimahitna:
i downloaded this firmware and after unrar, in directori are 7-8 files(kernel...multi csc...modem...).

is this fleshable or some files for testing...very strange
[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
probably because it's not yet available in test mode , theyre not all put into a proper .tar file.

you'll need to use heimdall or just Mobile Odin to flash the files as they are
[Galaxy S II General] mimahitna:
yes, I assumed that it is so
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
CSC isn't xeu so won't be uk
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
This is for TELIA Denmark.
[Galaxy S II General] silverwings2008:
Sure its Slovakia not Denmark

Product Code: GT-I9100LKAORS
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The firmware has a MultiCSC package for multiple sales code but the version I have is for Telia Denmark. ODK
[Galaxy S II General] silverwings2008:

make this fw a wipe? or is it non wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I've been asked already and I'm uploading it. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Coentje44:
Used this rom for a few hours, its fast,solid and battery saving

also has some great Quadrant scores using the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
How did you flash it with so many files?

Did it work by only flashing the CODE, MODEM and one of the CSC files using ODIN
[Galaxy S II General] Coentje44:
Yes i did it that way.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Single file, non-wipe, version available in the carrier firmware thread.

So why I can't play youtube in background nor in browser (Not even in tabs wtf?) nor in app? Same with other music sites in browser. Also if I lock the screen music goes... :mad:

I got felling I don't have multitasking phone. :eek: But music can be played in background. I believe there is some mod or app that can do this? Dude we are in 2011 and s2 is one of most powerful phones. So what are guys at google thinking? :confused:

So what I need to do in order to play youtube music in background?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Feel free to voice your concerns eloquently to Google, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

You cannot play youtube videos in the background, your alternatives would be to listen to music from music sources (isn't that what people normally do?) or download the music from the videos manually.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Your post is slightly confusing but am i right in thinking that the main issue here is that YouTube will for some reason not play on your phone yeah, it may sound very obvious but are you sure you have an Internet connection, have you tried with

WiFi?

I can think of absolutely no reason as to why YouTube will not work on your phone unless somehow your phone has become corrupted, i have the YouTube app and also YouTube in my browser and both play fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
no, he means he can play youtube but as soon as doing anything else on the phone youtube will stop playback. Its the same with all our GS2s, even if you open youtube in a browser tab as soon as you navigate away from that tab to do something else, (even staying in the browser with a new tab), then youtube stops playback.

I agree it is quite annoying that its not capable of running in the background.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
ah right, cant say it really bothers me that much..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myztikal:
You're better using the TubeMate app.

It'll allow you to download the music/videos and play them as mp3 files on the stock music player. You can then place your samsung galaxy s2 into sleep mode and play music in the background.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgroove:
That is an answer but do not a solution because do not give us a choice..

Even in my N900 Maemo5 (it is a 2009 Os) I can listen in background all the videos i want plus all the music i want.... All simultaneously.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad_Lion:
Agree. This can be an useful app (If I would need to download something on android from youtube) but I still have no solution to the problem.

I want to listen music in background not download it. Or Imagine using s2 as a mp3 player connected to speakers. I would need to download all videos I want to listen. (not practical, time and space consuming...)

Now I still don't get it: Are android engineers so stupid at all, or what is the problem that the thing is still not implemented?

Anyone know if ICS will maybe bring it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Videos are meant to be watched. Do you not understand this? I've already given you the correct place to report any issues/feature requests you may have. Also, just so you know, calling the devs stupid is idiotic. If you're so smart, write your own software to play videos in the background.

Maybe when you think about it for a few minutes, you'll realise the very idea does not make sense.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3dpuma:
When i had the stock rom, i was watching a long video in youtube, then i started shaving, and i put the phone to sleep by pressing the power button, and the video kept playing, i was perplexed because i always wanted this from youtube, to be able to play with your screen off.

Videos are meant to be watched, but reviews and other stuff, or music with just a picture in stead of a video is not meant to be watched, so this would be an usefull app.

Btw: i was on 2.3.4 stock .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
personally id like it as i often listen to music via youtube, would be nice to be able to leave it playing while i surfed the web at the same time.

This is such a oversight for the youTube app on my GS2...

Watching a video and lets say I get an email, get a text message (Handcent pop up)...

Video stops playing completely and I have to restart it.... wtf??

Lets say I need to check or write an email / text - App minimizes but closes the video feed and audio with it, forced to restart.

Its annoying and un-needed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgroove:
So, where is the multitasking features?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Sigh :rolleyes:

It IS multitasking and to suggest otherwise is just being a troll.

The YouTube app pauses video because IT'S VIDEO!!!

Alternative solutions have already been posted, but people keep harping on about the YouTube app specifically. It is not intended to play videos in the background. It is intended to play videos and then, quite correctly, pause them when you go to do something else, so that when you come back you can continue watching. Videos are for watching.

The problem here is that some people are taking 1 aspect of the YouTube app (namely audio output) and then expecting it to act like apps that are specifically made for audio output. That's stupid, incorrect and unfair.

What the YouTube app does is correct. If you don't like it then complain to Google and let them laugh at you instead.

All that said, I do understand why people are asking for this. It's just wrong to blame the YouTube app for functioning perfectly 100% correct when it simply doesn't do something that you want. It's like complaining that your car doesn't fly.

Anyone that's really bothered by this would probably be better doing some googling on Java, the Android SDK and the YouTube API and then combining that knowledge into a solution that other members of XDA could use.

Thats excactly what i was looking for, only problem is that it doesnt stream in HQ, so the audio quality isnt very good.. Even though youtube is for videos, we should be able to lock the screen without it stopping, like the standard video app, if watching a longer video or listening to music at work and want easy changing of songs

try NextVid... it lets you minimize youtube videos while you use other apps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eletro:
Sorry if im abit late on this, but this is how i solve this issue, the trick is to use flash instead of html5 (correct me if i am wrong).

1. download Maxthon Browser. (I found this browser allows you to have multiple tabs and flash will play in the background tabs unlike dolphin browser)

2. navigate to youtube (if it direct you to the mobile page, click on the desktop link below)

3. Pressing home button / or changing tabs / or switch to standby will not stop the audio playback :) (terminating or closing the browser will of course stop the playback)

down side is that if u mess up u could have overlapping audios from various running flash videos or youtube videos.

Using atrix thou.. donnoe if it works for sgs2..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EviLerror:
I found the way

I found one trick/bug

In stock browser open youtube page in desktop view - it can be opened in the bottom of mobile page (I havent tried it on mobile page) and load some video... the thing with bug is that you switch to another tab in browser before the page with video starts loading or at the same time it starts loading, but before it starts showing... now it will load video and start it and you can also switch to another app or browse web and listen to music from youtube at the same time... hope you'll get it... enjoy :)

Download an app called pvstar from the market - its a youtube player that keeps audio on when you use other apps so i can browse web and play tunes! Asus transformer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDGM:
I can think of a reason... Youtube is primarily for video. They pause the video when you minimize youtube because most people would not want the video to keep playing in the background if a call pops up or you accidentally lock your screen.

The question is, why have Google not made this an optional setting? "Pause videos when you minimize youtube -> Yes / No" would suffice...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badfelafel:
not confusing

Theres nothing odd or confusing about what the OP wants, and some oddly angry responses!

Android has been designed to be smarter than other OSs which we are all used to, and these all continue allowing processes to run until they are stopped. It's what people expect but Android decides to halt the process, assuming the user no longer requires it. Sometimes this is an incorrect assumption.

There really is nothing strange about wanting audio from youtube to remain active in the background whilst the user carries on working or surfing and nothing unreasonable in the request. There's nothing stupid, correct or unfair to expect a process to carry on in the background if you haven't stopped it. It's nothing like expecting a car to fly.

It can also be pretty annoying for processes to stop when you click between windows - it means you sometimes can't check an email thats come in whilst watching a movie without completely disrupting the video process. That is annoying and I suggest a failing of android.

Finally certain people, imho, should be more pleasant in the face of reasonable questions especially if they are forum moderators or recognised developers!
