[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
It's good to see you have a Titan. The Titan is a pretty nice phone. Viewing angles seem quite good and the whites are SUPER bright. It's just the colors and blacks that suffer. Nice to know you can compare them though.

Hey Alright, I'm not crazy. Heh. I'm going to run to a couple of more ATT stores and see what their display units look like. My buddy just got a GSII and he says he doesn't see it, so I'm going to investigate it as well.

BTW, I spoke to someone at Samsung online and he seemed to think it was "normal" and was caused by a Super AMOLED Plus characteristic. Unfortunately I didn't believe a lick he was telling me.

I'm off to find the perfect display! Wish me luck.
[Samsung Focus S] emjlr3:
i went back to the store

they want to charge me $35 to restock what I have ^^ - and cant seemed to be talked out of it....

the display Focus S had the same exact issues

as does the GSII/SkyRocket from what I could tell

the Titan's whites make the Focus S whites looks blue - but the Focus S blacks look the Titans blacks look grey

and the color palettes are so radically different - for themes the green on the Titan looks like the lime on the Focus S, and the Titan has nothing that can compare to the green on the Focus S - its ridiculous the difference in the saturation and vividness - I can see what people say about the Titan producing more realistic images - but at the end of the day for most things the Focus S is just better looking, who cares if its accurate?

i imagine using the Titan for a while you would get used to it, but side by side it looks paltry in comparison

to be honest the iPhone display looked pretty good! - just too damned small after using a 4"+ sized display - I could never use something that small after using what I have
[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
So I went to ABT Electronics today and looked at their Focus S. It's funny, all of these places, including the Apple store choose the most PERFECT displays they can find in their inventory to show to the public, when in reality your results can vary greatly. For example, the Focus S at ABT had a whiter/bluer screen than mine in terms of whites. It wasn't a huge difference but it was noticeable. Now I want a new whiter screen. My screen seemed buttery compared to the one I saw. We'll see how successful I am. I know I may sound picky but if I'm going to keep this phone for the next 2 years, I want it to look the way I want it.

I also checked out others with the same 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus and I didn't really see much of a green tint to them. In fact one looked yellowish directly and turned whitish on the side. Weird.
[Samsung Focus S] emjlr3:
OLEd is still a newer technology, compared to LCD - guess there are still some kinks to work out
[Samsung Focus S] johnsies:
Yeah, a problem with AMOLED is a slight bluish hint but I don't believe the screen is a PenTile one.

The dimming has been a bit aggressive, I just usually cover the proximity sensor with my hand and let it work again.

Has anyone noticed a flicker (then on) when you unlock the Focus S screen? Sometimes the screen instantly brings up the lock screen sometimes a second after the flicker.
[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
Alright guys. Back to one of the original topics of the Focus S randomly dimming? I think I figured it out. My phone is over heating and the phone is dimming to try and cool it down. No error messages of overheating or anything. I noticed it today when I was playing games on my phone while charging. My phone was pretty warm. Now up until this point, my phone had not dimmed randomly for a week or so, but this morning? BOOM. Dimmed on me. So it hit me. Screen Dimming + Warm Phone = Overheating. I put the phone down on the cold floor to cool down for 10 minutes. Turn the screen back on and guess what? Original Brightness is back.

Either I exchange my phone again or return it all together. I'm in a bind because I can't get the HTC Titan for the same price I got the Focus S for (Free with No Activation).

I have not noticed this at all.
[Samsung Focus S] emjlr3:
i am in the same boat

almost potentially worthwhile holding out for a Nokia set (perhaps the 900/850)

i actually think I will keep the Focus S to be honest with you

in a year or a year and a half, call up Att and see what they will work for me if I really want to - I have heard lots of success stories about calling them up and getting very discounted phones deals

after revisiting the store - the titan screen looks like **** (IMO except for the whites) compared to the Focus S - and its just too damned big - the Focus S IMO is the perfect size

and all the Android GUI overlays suck ass - so no way I get a droid - and I will certainly not pay $100 for a year old iPhone.
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
**this fixed mine** random dimming and tinting

Don't throw anything because I just skimmed over the thread before I am responding. I have the Focus S and had that problem. I corrected it by going to "settings>extra settings" and turning off the "Auto Display Intensity" to make it stop adjusting. Unfortunately, that setting defaults to "On" every time the device is restarted. So you have to remember to turn it off. Maybe everybody thought of this, already, and your device does this, anyway, but mine is perfect with this setting off. So, I hope this helps!

matt
[Samsung Focus S] wspaw:
I had to use the option in the "Brightness" page under Settings. The option on the Extra Settings page applies only when it is set to a white background.

Hopefully a future update will address this and improve the auto dimming. For now, though, it's set to bright all the time.
[Samsung Focus S] kelvinchewsg:
U only need to press the power button to let the phone go to sleep, then press power button again and almost immediately the custom brightness u set will be back.

[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
Well the dimming issue hasn't happened to me in quite a while now. I decided to keep the phone. The fact that the display wasn't perfect wasn't enough to make me want to return the phone, especially since I got it for free with no activation fee on a 2 year contract. In the meanwhile, I'm just enjoying it. Funny though, Now that I've got a 4.3" screen, I want MORE. Bring on the 4.7"!
[Samsung Focus S] jeremyshaw:
After an Inspire and Focus S, I find the 4.7" display of my Titan too large to easily type in.
[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
I honestly only find it more difficult in landscape mode. Portrait mode is awesome though. I can't stop hitting the "a" button when trying to turn on caps lock. It's really annoying.
[Samsung Focus S] tahpics:
Having had 3 Samsung Amoled phones (Galaxy S2, Skyrocket, Focus S) and a SAMOLED (Galaxy Note) I will say that Samsung doesn't display true whites, it's always blueish. As far as the dimming, Go to "Settings" > Exta Settings > Use Auto Display (Turn it off, however; it seems to enable itself after changing the theme from light to dark or vice versa, as well as after a reboot.)
[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
I believe all the phones you had, had a SAMOLED + display no? Also, I checked to see if changing the theme from light to dark turns the Auto Display feature back on and for me it does not. As for my dimming issue, it only seems to happen when the phone is plugged in and the battery is a bit warm.

Overall, I like this phone but I also don't. The display is quite delicious really. I've had it on half brightness for a few days now just to see how it looks to me and today I finally put it back to full brightness and the colors really are gorgeous. It's not perfect but I've learned to look past it I guess. Thank you for the reply.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonikan:
Can apps like this be coupled?

What set up is really the best to get the best EVO performance? Both? Only one or the other?

I notice a faster evo with SetCPU, of course. And using that with Rom Manager Pro, I notice that some apps are able to stay open longer (multitasking), but not forever.

Does one cancel the other? Good idea to use both?

I wonder too if Rom Manager Pro's performance boost is just in my head. I can tell a difference though using SetCPU.

So... can I couple these to apps or is there even a point?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Personally both are moot if you use AOSP roms. CPU configuration is built into the rom, and if you're on smartass or smartassv2 governors, they have built in screen off profiles, to eliminate setcpu. And apps like that stacked on each other typically compete with each other and do more harm than good.

Recently, Go SMS pro had updated to a newer version at 16/12/2011.

As my SGA (rooted, CM7.2 cooper KANG vo-1 flashed with turbo 8.5) installed the newest version of Go SMS pro, it crashed every single time when I tried to open the Apps.

Is there any solution to this? Anyone facing this problem too? Sorry for my bad english. :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
I didn't update . I think you should downgrade to the older version if you have a titanium backup of the older version
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xarive:
dear emoboiix3,

Thanks for your quick reply! that was awesome :D

There's another question that running in my mind:

1. Is there any other SMS apps as good as GO SMS PRO except Handcent SMS that can replace stock SMS?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dragonnn:
I have already update GO SMS Pro to the newest version, and works for mi perfectly on CM 7.2. Did you try to clear the data of this app?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Shermaine:
Chomp SMS? But for me I prefer GO stuff.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mixed-up:
if i delete the internal and drop a new rom on it, when i load the new rom, does it format the main memory?

I found the back of my Galaxy Nexus to be a little too slippery, and I had a spare piece of 3M carbon fiber material laying around.

I decided to go ahead and cut it to fit my GN. No worries about that darn Verizon Wireless logo on the back now :-)

I got the material from this guy: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703496

I have that 3M too, but I am afraid the plastic battery cover might get weak since it needs to be heated to apply.. is it safe to blow dry the plastic battey cover based on your experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sniper1087:
it doesnt need to be heated to apply, I had this carbon fiber on my T-mo GS2 and didnt require to doanything but just apply with solution and let it dry, but this doesnt protect your phone if it drops, so basically pointless, I rather get otterbox, but not sure if it works on gsm version, still puzzled here.

It cuts easily. Trace a pattern from your battery door onto the backing of the 3M then cut about 1mm inside of that all around. Use a sharp Xacto knife.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stanfna:
i did mine last night. looks great! of all the phones i have applied this to...this was by far the easiest!!!

simple...

cut out a piece just a little larger than your battery cover.

stick it on the battery cover. (start at one end and be sure not to have any huge bubbles)

take a hair dryer or heat gun and start from the center...heat it up just a bit and press it on good. (heat activates the glue and softens the film so it can stick to the contours of the battery door)

press the film over the edges while they are warm from the hair dryer

flip it over and run an exacto knife along the edge of the battery door to remove the excess film.

for the camera hole...cut an X in the hole. heat up the film and press the excess film through the hole. you have two options 1) stick the excess film to the inside of the battery door or 2) cut the excess in the same way you did on the sides.

Done

Enjoy

I believe this something only pictures will be able to explain. But last night I flashed to Calkulin's E4GT v2.5 and flashed the EL13 modem. Then I played with SetCPU and set it a 200min-800max just to see how it would run. It was a bit jumpy but doable. It was fully charged or close to it. When I woke up this morning it didnt turn on. I plugged it in... nothing. Took out the battery, waited 2mins, plugged it in, ON. Check my battery info, and this is what I had........

Note: I no longer have SetCPU installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
From my non-expert experience phones shut themselves down for three reasons.

(1) Low battery (shouldn't have been a factor here).

(2) Overheating (usually caused by overclocking; not what happened here)

(3) Underclocking (our phones are like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same, so yours may not have handled the low voltage settings even though other phones can).

Just my two cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jburke90:
I can understand it shutting off. But the battery.. it was almost charged fully, and BAM, its all gone? Look at the pics, it goes straight down to Zero. Thats what I dont get.
