[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrunkFuX666:
Hey guys I just saw this and thought I would Give my experience...

I myself got a Galaxy S2 a month back barely and noticed it has the same horizontal lines... about 2 horizontal ones and one diagonal one... along with some blotches... this is a manufacturing fault due to terrible quality control which has started after the super amoled plus screens and sadly and surprisingly seems to have carried on to the amoled HD ones too... never any such issues with the super amoled on the galaxy S including tthe one I owned...

Since it's a manufacturing defect the phone will be replaced generally but unfortunately in my region there is no official Samsung dealer for the S2, I had to live with my purchase...

Again as people have already mentioned you can only see them on the lowest brightness setting or if you are only looking at a dark screen... sometimes can see the lines on grey but depends on other surrounding colours...

I know I'm not happy about iit since it was so frikking expensive, but its still something which guess I can live with... doesn't really make the phone any less amazing...

Would have loved to try the nexus... but just couldn't get myself to go for the missing features...

feel your pain m8 , ive had like 4 sII returned for same kinda issues sensation xe that twice got dust under screen. And now well first phone transparant line annoying as hell second crazy colour banding like you never seen try searching "crazy colour banding" my third arrived with broken screen so awaiting 4th i love this phone but samsung qq is awfull. I can appreciate people say its down to the tech / characteristic but if thats the case why do the reviewers never get one of these handsets .... hmm wait probably becouse they got a cherry picked one.

Anyway if it is a characteristic they could at least put something in the docs they include with phone so the consumer is aware. Or raise the parameters of the screens they pass thru in manufacturing. I know its a different situation but its not like you would except a tv or laptop with these issues so why do we have to accept it with out phones which quite frankly these days can cost more then a laptop or tv.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
you do know there are version of Samsung phones with sLCD instead of SAMOLED displays, eh?

if the display is your gripe, then just waint for the SLCD versions of the same phone

like the SGS2 for example or the next version of Galaxy Nexus i9253 with SLCD ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigel99:
I have a horizontal line on my screen. I might be able to post some photos of it later. Adjusting the brightness has no effect.

Sadly getting an exchange. Really enjoying the phone so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:
I love my nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
I have the gsm GN in US. I have also noticed that at lowest brightness level screen on my phone has a darker red/greyish tint from the top of screen towards the center. But I am not returning it. I have seen similar issues with my SGS2 that I exchanged. However my retired Captivate had a perfect screen. I guess it has to do with SAMOLED displays.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
Your first phone had nothing wrong with it. The grey lines are part of the Super AMOLED display. Any Super AMOLED screen will behave that way, apparently. And it's really only apparent on low brightness. I turned mine off auto and set it to about halfway and it looks great now. Can't even notice it.

As for the volume bug, that's a software issue and was fixed with the latest OTA update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i just think it's a shame that there's an issue at all. you'd think considering how much time/money was spent on the device + how much we have to pay for it, that they'd have this fixed before release... considering it's a hardware-related issue.

i had a similiar experience with the newer model Sony PSP's (the 3001) models. i was so excited to hear about the new & improved screens that i traded in 2 PSP 2001 models to get one. the thing ended up having these bizarre scanline-like artifacts display everywhere in high motion areas. there were articles complaining about it also but oddly, not everyone could see them. when i took the thing back to gamestop to return, both of the guys working there said they couldn't see them... what the hell!!.. ?...

i'm assuming since not everyone is reporting this issue with their GN's it's probably partly to do with the individual's eye sight. even on that Droid RAZR phone, the fuzziness on the icons/text bothered me so much i couldn't look at the screen, whereas other people didn't notice....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DrunkFuX666:
Uhhh no Super Amoleds are NOT supposed to behave that way AT ALL... If so then your supposed fix by turning up the brightness shouldn't have made a difference if they wanted tthe screen to be grey under low brightness ...

Yes I agree turning up the brightness does fix the problem... but also will lead to a heavier battery drain which is something most people DONT want...

The simple issue here is why pay pretty penny for something which IS a manufacturing fault due to terrible quality control control...

What your sayings is like saying oh the Toyota Prius which had fuked up brakes were fine as long as you braked early or did it in the right way... wonder why they were all recalled... makes no sense...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkh786:
Nope I disagree.. all three had what you call "common" issues.. the grey streaking and blotches.. but I also had white lines that were visible in red, blue, purple, yellow and green backgrounds.. there was a colour gradient that came with the white line.. so the top of the screen was lighter than the bottom.. so I have to disagree.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mallman:
perhaps that is actually better LOL, at least from his post it is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
well just thought id chip in , as mentioned previously my first phone had transparant lines running down screen so i returned seen here :-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372825

Second phone had no transparant lines or greys lines however it did have alwfull colour banding which can be seen here :- (also returned)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382073

third phone arrive with broken screen returned

fourth phone is the worst i have seen yet transparant lines grey lines and even worse colour banding that last phone (returned again).

I await 4th from supplier , cant say this suprised me thou samsung qq is utter garbage whilst i do belive there are phones out there which are close to perfect (free from defects listed) i also belive theres a equel amount with these defects mainly due to the parameters of what we belive is acceptable and what samsung belive is acceptable.

The worst thing about all this is that the samsung nexus despite the fact it only has 5mp camera and despite the fact it has no memory card slot is a awesome phone i rate it higher then sensation xe or gsII which i have also owned , its just such a pity that samsung have built it. As mentioned previously if they samsung belive it to be part of the tech then they should clearly state this in the deeds that come with the phone.

Im sorry but i have to say your wrong there chap , my second phone had no grey lines or transparent lines at any brightness. And just to add neither have any of the phones ive seen in the various retail shops by me. So please please dont say its inherant of the tech becouse it isent. The only reason these phones are out there with these faults is becouse samsung have such a low bar on what they pass througth as acceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mallman:
a-men!! If it were 499 id say meh, ill work around it. It will be $800 in the US so mah, no thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
the fact that the phone is 500 quid over here without contract is just insulting with these defects. Why should we the consumer accept this when i could buy a telly or laptop or numerous other things for same value that wouldent get away with these issues, like a bad joke :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkh786:
I totally agree.. the phone was perfect bar the screen issues.. I really loved the size.. colour.. feel and everything else on it.. just have given up on getting a working handset.. the screen is the one of the selling point of the phone so I refuse to compromise.. fair enough if it was same "Super AMOLED perk" on all three handsets but I had these "common perks" plus much more on all three of my handsets.. very disappointing.. I had been waiting on the third Nexus since the release of the Nexus S (which was again disppointing rebranded Galaxy S).. I was willing to give Samsung a last chance after the Nexus S but I was proven wrong again.. I have had an AMOLED Desire for 20 months.. no screen issues.. no problems what so ever.. oh well.. I shall look forward to the fourth (hopefully non-Samsung) Nexus! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
funny you should mention amoled desire , i also have one which ive owned for 19 / 20 months .... like yourself no screen issues or anything great phone dident have to return once. I only pray that my 4th nexus is ok i sent a letter to shop with pictures informing them not to send me another without checking for these defects so fingers crossed :P this will be the last attempt wish you all the best with your next phone :)

Hi!

I have a strange problem. Recently I tried to buy a program through the Market on my device (N1 on CM7.1), and after selecting the credit card and accepting the terms the transaction couldn't go through ("Error retrieving data from server"). Tried wiping Market data with TB - no luck. Tried uninstalling Market update - same result.

However, I could by the app through the Web-based Market. This happens with all pay-apps, it is not exclusive to one title.

Has any of you had this problem? What should I do to restore this functionality? Thanks!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n0yd:
When I had the OG DInc, I was using Conaps "DualRom" multiboot solution and was running 4 or 5 roms on my phone at a time. Which is great for someone like me who loves to flash different roms pretty much daily.

Anyways.... I did a little searching and everything regarding dual or multi booting I could find for the DInc2 generally suggested using BootManager, which is an app on the market and is not free. Call me cheap, or whatever, but I prefer open source and free apps. Back on the OG Inc someone had written a guide on how to do this without needing any fancy app, though it was long and tedious it worked quite well.

Does anyone know of a writeup for our phones for installing multiple roms?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Will ROM manager suit your needs?

I use ROM manger to boot all the ROMS i want. IDK If thats what your asking for but if you want a paid android app then do a google search.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n0yd:
Eh, you have no idea what I am talking about. Thanks for trying though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
As far as I know, boot manager is the only one that works.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n0yd:
Well if thats the case, then I am gonna try evolving the guide for doing it manually on the DInc to the DInc2.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that hard to go off the guide for the OG DInc. Mostly what would need to be changed is the mount points, assuming they use different mount points on the DInc2.

INC1 has alot of phone memory, inc2 doesnt.

Yea, 4gb of actual emmc.

VZW told me that my Red DIncII would have 4gb of internal memory. HA!:mad:

The only way I can get the emmc to show up on the DIncII is to flash ICS B2.

It shows as a folder with 0.0 bites in size.

I just do it the old fashioned way of wipe n flash...:)

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S2 I9100 (chinese version) I bought in China.

I shows everything aligned from left-to-right.

When I write in Hebrew - I would like it to be aligned from right-to-left.

In addition, numbers appear reversed, meaning - one hundred and five looks like 501, instead of 105 (when writing SMS messages).

How can I fix this ?

[Desire General] danielvago:
I am using the Leedroid 2.5 sense ROM on a rooted Desire and have been for a long time.

I've had the problem of the phone being sluggish for a long time, and the launcher re-initialising when I'm in an app and close that app.

It used to be far between, and I thought it was just due a reboot, but now-a-days it does it all the time. I could pick it up in the morning, open an app, close that app and it would do it. Then half an hour later it would do it again.

Sometimes it holds on for longer, it varies, but it's a real problem.

I use "Quick App Manager" and "SD Maid" to clear cache pretty often, which removes all sluggishness, but it doesn't seem to affect the whole launcher needing a reboot, which is becoming worse and worse.

What is causing this problem, and how come it's becoming worse?

Hi guys!

I have a question.

Is the "fix sbf" file related to the kenerl version?

If I use offical froyo(UK 2.2.2) and flash MS2ginger 2.0 (2.3.4)(by using nandroid backup) and flash the fixed sbf, is that mean I flash the chinese 2.3.4 based rom and lost the advantages of UK rom?(such as comfortable touching experience or fast speed)

could anyone help me?

LOL. Keep waiting....and waiting....and waiting. Unfortunately like I've said in another thread, the Vibrant is the redheaded stepchild that nobody wants. It's really a shame because I loved the phone (except the crappy GPS) and it still has potential. But I forked over the dough a couple weeks ago for an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and am glad I did. It was a worthwhile upgrade and runs great on Tmobile USA. I just wish I hadn't spent the money on the Vibrant. Barely had it one year and I'm on a TMO non-subsidy plan (no upgrades for me) and the Vibrant was pricey when it released! Never again.....

Does anyone know how this would trouble rooting?

I know that I had been rooted, I applied the update (since I knew it was coming and what it was for), error message popped up and phone locked. As a result I used CWM and restored an old backup and sure enough everything is fine. Unrooted, factory reset, applied update. I am good.

Now how do I root? Can I root? What root method? I have been using the ZedoMax 4.1 root with Odin but I am not sure that this is the best root out there. Would any of these revert the update?

Looked up information all yesterday and all I could see was LOS fix and system RAM was increased by decreasing the OS requirements (somehow). Some people said this

made their phone perform faster.

Right away I noticed I had to reset all my bluetooth connected devices.

No other problems were noticed. I am still rooted, woohoo.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chaosbelow247:
Well I think it's a good thing it didn't ask me because I didn't want the update considering I like my ROM. The update only fixes LoS issues and other problems. You can actually find the updated kernel on these forums and flash it to your phone if you have problems with signal otherwise the update really doesn't do much.

You can also flash to Blazer Rom EL13 beta rom and it will improve your data speeds but users have reported slower WiFi speeds. It also gets rid of the update message since its the latest update. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)﻿

TL;DR: The update is useless unless you have LoS issues.
