Phone only wakes up upside down when screen turns off in landscape. I dug through the original thread and it appears on the SGS2 international that it can be fixed if you have a screen on animation, but as far as I can tell the screen off is still reversed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Riken:
I can get it to rotate fine but not when im in the applications. I moved both files in system/lib

any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
If you're using touchwiz, that's why. Touchwiz doesn't rotate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_sheets:
i have tried both and still nothing, i get the error where i turn the screen off and the whole thing goes upside down but i cannot get it to flip

i have copy and pasted using root explorer multiple times and still nothing?

any help

I have this problem with the screen getting flipped/reversed as you have described... do you know of a fix?

UPDATE

I believe I found a fix for it....

Download Spare Parts from the Market.. Set Windows Animations to Fast...

Seems to have set the reverse/backwards unlock screen....
[HTC Desire S] 666angel:
A friend of mine bricked his Desire S..

He told me that the Phone froze and he pulled out the battery.

Now it won't boot anymore.

Now i want to reflash the RUU. But the problem is that i can't use any of the RUU's i can find on this site because the phone is vodafone branded.

When i try to flash it in the bootloader it says "CID incorrect".

Now i did find this rom:

RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M_release_179398_signed.rar

But this version is too old. It won't flash.

HBOOT-0.98.0002

Radio-3805.06.02.03_M

Anybody any idea what i can do to fix this?

or where i can find the RUU for the version which is on the phone.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Do you have custom recovery installed ? Or the phone is s-on ?

Pulled battery may have lead to fried eMMC chip. This is why phone isn't booting anymore.

Maybe you can make a goldcard and try to install whatever ruu. Search it over xda. If you don't have a fried emmc chip it will work.

Anyway... That is a really bad idea to pull the battery off the desire s. It is the major factor which causes fried emmc. If phone is froze, try to hold vol +, vol - and power until it reboots. Or try adb reboot.

[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Pls give some info about your phone. s-off or not ? Custom or stock recovery ? Stock rom or custom ?...

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity :p
[HTC Desire S] 666angel:
Thanks for the quick response.

The phone is completely stock still.

So no other recovery either.. Can access the phone via ADB.

Only fastbook seems to work.. But don't have anything to flash..

About the gold card. With this i can flash any RUU?

I'll look into this.

Thanks again. I appreciate.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Ok, so your phone is in a bad mood. Maybe try wipe data in stock recovery ? All phone data (apps, messages) will be lost but sometimes it helps. Try it and tell results

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity :p
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
And yes goldcard allows to flash any ruu.

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity :p
[HTC Desire S] 666angel:
Wipe didn't work unfortunately.

Looking into creating a gold card, but it's going to be difficult.

Don't have another Desire S here.

Did try to get the SD CID via my own phone. (Evo 3d)

But for the Desire S sd card and my own sd card it gives the same CID via the goldcard helper app..
[HTC Desire S] 666angel:
Ah yes, adb is not working. Only Fastboot.

When i do fastboot devices:

C:\WINDOWS>fastboot devices

SHxxxxxxxxx fastboot
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
But did wipe data were successful or not ? Was it interrupted 2 sec or so after you pressed power with no output ? Or did it tell "data wiped", "data wipe finished" or sth like that ?

Sent from my Desire S with Virtuous Affinity :p
[HTC Desire S] 666angel:
The wipe didn't display any msg.

Basically only the image with progressbar.

It looked like it was in a loop/didn't do anything.

Kept de phone like this for an hour and then just powered it off.

I got the Gold card working now. No more invalid CID msg with non vodafone roms.

But now with every rom i try, it just stays @ flashing hboot..

Or with the old Vodafone rom i have it still says that it's older than the software on the phone.

Pff i'm running out of ideas.
[HTC Desire S] Floatshow:
Well then : ruu stuck @ flashing bootloader, loop at wiping data.

You have a fried emmc chip, as I suspected.

Now, don't touch your phone anymore and send it back to htc for warranty purposes. They know that issue, and you haven't made any modification (s-off, root or whatever) they will repair your phone without any problem.

I'll contact HTC.

Thank you.

Did you follow these steps?

Also, you may have a corrupt SU file, try re-downloading it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devorama:
I'm running the UnNamed rom v.1.3.1. One of the reasons I'm using this rom is because it unlocks the Display settings for Screen Mode. Here you can choose between 3 modes:

Dynamic: SUPER saturated colors!!!

Standard: very saturated colors

Move: a bit oversaturated colors

I was hoping to be able to tweak these settings, but I can't find any definitive information on how to change them. I believe their settings are stored in 3 files in /system/etc

mdnie_tune_ui_dynamic_mode

mdnie_tune_ui_standard_mode

mdnie_tune_ui_movie_mode

There's a Color Saturation setting that difffers between them all. I tried to update the value the saturation in the Standard file to 0 to see if I could tone down the saturation. But edits to the file seems to have no effect. I even copied the content of the "movie" file to the "standard" file, and it doesn't change anything. Does anyone know how I can get these changes to take effect? Thanks.

is there a way to make the Lock screen switch to landscape mode?

it's just unsightly to have the lock screen stuck in vertical when everything else can rotate to landscape mode transparently when using any apps

i run my phone most of the time in landscape mode for better read-ability and well most 90% of games runs on landscape mode anyways.

and when i put my phone down on the dock, i have it sitting on landscape as well, it'll make a nicer "desk clock/calendar" if the lock screen and switch as well

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gytax:
Hello!

I have recently moved from an HTC Desire HD (Cyanogenmodded) to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I absolutely love the phone, except for one thing:

The stock Messaging (SMS) app has the habit of converting text-messages to MMS messages, when the size is about 3-4 texts.

My girlfriend has the same issue on her HTC Desire S (un-modded), but I did not have it on my CM7'ed DHD.

Now, I have been looking into things to get this fixed, but to no avail.

I really do not want to use the 3rd party apps like Handcent op GoSMS, because frankly, I think they are ugly and bloated. I just want to use the stock app, but without the limitation.

Tonight, I have been trying to get this to work:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065452

It sure seems easy enough, but after putting the app back it just kept crashing.

Has any of you been successful in editing the apk to enable larger text messages?

Thanks in advance for any reply!

Gytax.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Semtaker:
I have the same problem..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yeppi1:
I'm also really interested in a solution here. I've got 2,000 SMS for free but pay 30cents for a mms which i would never use due to whatsapp... Would be great if there is a tweak to turn off auto convert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
This is the main reason I'm using go SMS heh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skezza:
This is going to hurt. There is no fix whatsoever unless you root your device. Handcent is ugly and bloated. So is GoSMS.

If you go to the market and search BigSMS, that is a clean solution to the problem. It isn't an OS fix, but it's a very simple front-end that allows you to get around the problem. It integrates fully with your native messaging and is free.

Not an OS fix, but the next best thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gytax:
My device is rooted. I tried to fix the app myself, but after compiling the app would not run anymore.

Currently, I just switch to GoSMS when the stock app says my text message is too long (hooray for copy/paste).

I have seen BigSMS already, I might give it a shot.

Thanks for your reply, anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skezza:
This feature is also present in Ice Cream Sandwich.

The disgusting thing about it is this... knowing what I know, there is no way that Google released Ice Cream Sandwich without a way of toggling this particular setting (the conversion I mean) which means the feature was actually REMOVED from the Messaging app, rather than pure ignorance which we've seen from manufacturers in 2.x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gytax:
Well, there is a very simple setting inside the messaging app. The app has a hardcoded limit of 4. I tried changing this but, like I said before, the app would not run anymore.

This could be because of my phone not being deodexed.

I was asking if anyone else had any experience with this, because my android modding experience is very very limited.

See this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skezza:
Yes, the limit is hardcoded, Some devices uses 4, others uses 3 and some HTC's use 5. The thing is, Google implemented a patch for disabling it in 2.2 Froyo. Basically not so you could change the limit, but you could enable/disable whether the conversion took place. They implemented it and major manufacturers like Sony, Samsung, HTC, decided to avoid implementing the patch. So, 2012, 2 years after Froyo, the patch still isn't present in Gingerbread 2.3.5 for SGS for example. It's disgraceful by the major manufacturers to have this little care for the users.

Hi,

This may sound really stupid but how the heck do you add your contact in text? I want to send a text but cant see where i can click to then pick the contact i want to send it to?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] princepilot:
Hi,

Yeah i can see the "To" but if i click it or in the box it does nothing. Surely i dont have to start to type the name in and then click it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvvpc:
Thats exatually what you do :D

select the box and start type the name of your contact :)

What else would you do ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] princepilot:
Every phone ive ever had including the galaxy s2 when you clicked in the to box it would bring uo your contact list letting you choose the contact.

Matt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
You can also go to the contact list and choose to text

Go to Phone Icon > People tab, then click on the left box where their photo is.

Then on the right side of the phone number is an icon i can't describe, but that lets you text.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvvpc:
yeah many phones do that :)

But i would always search in the list anyway so for me this is a step less :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] princepilot:
Yeah suppose it will just be getting use to it. Loving the Nexus up to yet , first day with it. Only thing ive noticed is that i cant add a facebook account in the accounts & sync and the facebook app doesnt have the option to sync the contacts

Matt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvvpc:
nah google and facebook have a fight going on about how to handle contacts so its disabled on nexus phones :)

Shouldn't, the sim only allows you to access the network. Your speed is determined by signal strength, and what particular server you are pulling from.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I usually use static screen protectors, and over the years I've found that the ebay ones are always the best. Well, with the nexus I decided to go wet because of the curved glass. I purchased the expensive ones first....all were crap. Bad feel, orange peel, etc (tried XO, zagg, etc).

So I decided to give the $5 full body one on ebay a shot. I put the body pieces on first (back side of phone) and was surprised at the feel and clarity. So today I decided to put the screen protector part on, and here's what I found:

Perfect fit, absolutely no orange peel (maybe just a LITTLE at very extreme angles...definitely can't tell), feels better than any high priced ones I've used so far, and the haze is drying up quicker than any of the other ones.

I don't know what it is, but ebay screen protectors are ALWAYS better than the high priced brand name ones. I've had a ton of experience with this stuff (since the first iphone came out I've tried many different brands).

My advice: stick away from expensive ones and get the cheap ebay ones which are very superior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
BTW, here's the screen protector I'm using. I purchased his full body set (which you can find in his store link), but if you want the screen protector only:

1) How are fingerprint/oil on it?

2) is it rubbery or plasticy texture
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Still collects fingerprints, but not as many as the bare screen.

Feels more like a plasticy/smooth texture, unlike the more expensive ones I've used which feel rubbery. I HATE the rubbery feel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Thanks, ordered one to try it.

I had zagg on my last phone, absolutely hate it. Its good for fingerprint oil, but the rubbery texture and orange peel is a major turn off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfzalivE:
Did you apply it using water/soap like it says on the page or did you just remove the protective sticker and just pressed the file to your phone ?

I want to order but I don't wanna wet any surface of the phone as long as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I used a water/soap mixture.

Pretty much impossible to get it on right without that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfzalivE:
ok, thanks. Guess I'll just keep looking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mainej:
Question if you have to use water/soap to apply the protector isn't there a possibility to ruin the phone.? i mean what if the water gets inside the phone.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MKVFTW:
You use a small amount of water and soap. You dont dip your phone in a water/soap mixture. If your phone gets damaged....you're doing it wrong.

What concerns me is the condition of the screen after the protector is removed. It worries me that the adhesive that holds the protector to the screen my not be easily removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I just received this last night and installed it.

It much better than Zagg on my moto triumph.

Much less orange peel effect

slightly less rubbery texture

no oil/fingerprint

a lot easier to install than Zagg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
does it cover the entire screen? I bought a pack of protectors from Verizon and was VERY disappointed. The damn things only cover the portion of the screen that is lit up.

I'm looking for something that will go on edge to edge and be invisible. It would also have to be a wet-type because of the curvature.

I've been using it neeked like I have with my N1 and G2x. I do have a protector on my Transformer because of the large screen... it's edge to edge and I don't even notice it. Thats what I'd like for the Nexus. I can feel a lip around the edge that the protector would butt up against.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] detonation:
I've used many screen and full body skins on various devices and never had problems removing them or residue left behind. Now I can't comment on these cheap off brand type, but I imagine they're really just the same thing as the name brand ones, but sold at closer to the real cost and without the gimmick marketing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordo_99:
If you look at the picture of the ebay auction you'll notice that it covers everything except the speaker and a has an opening over the front-facing camera...I just ordered one myself as well as an SGP (thin plastic-feel rather than soft silicone-feel) from Amazon as they just got back in stock today.
