I think any OTG usage will drain battery, but for a powered device the current might not be sufficient to charge. I wonder how much is the current limitation from a OTG device?

Yay! I am buying a OTG cable.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
Coming from a mytouch 4g, I had heard the horror stories, but haven't experienced this myself until today, when I noticed a fair amount of dust underneath the screen that seems to be coming from the corner closest to the genius button.

Now, I would and should send it in for warranty... But I love this phone right now. Unlike the other mt4gs that I have had to warranty (about three total I think), this was the only one that was perfect. The buttons are nice and click and responsive (none of the other ones had any decent feedback) and the phone is solidly built (a couple of the other ones felt like the screen was too far away from the keyboard, causing a huge gap or unwanted movement when the keyboard was closed).

also, I've heard some horror stories about the newest phones and the new radios and firmware, etc. I don't know what to do. Has anyone else noticed the screen issue?

I've had my phone covered in drywall dust, none of it got under my screen
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ur2biteme:
i had the mt3g slide that i bought on ebay with a fair amount of dust under the screen, but it never seemed to get worse until the screen and trackpad died 8 months after i bought it, now it's getting plenty of dust on the outside of the screen sitting there like a brick.

i've had the mt4gs since about 4 weeks after the release and i use it heavily daily, and not a speck of dust under the screen. now the faux chrome bezel already has some chips gone from a relatively low drop on concrete (partially softened by the top of my foot on the way down too), so i'm not real impressed with the plastic quality there since i've had other phones that have taken hits worse than that and not show a scratch, but it seems like they did a much better job with the 4gs screen than the 3gs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nandesho:
I've got dust under my screen. Its fairly minimal but eventually it will bother me enough to get it replaced. Its pretty concentrated to the lower left corner of the screen :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I have a zipper case I keep it in while it's in my pocket, I haven't had a problem with dust yet.

If you look behind the screen-half of the phone, at the end of the slide channels you will see two places where the light from the screen shines through. I forget who pointed this out first but someone on the boards did before here.

This is what prompted me to get a case for it, with a zipper, to keep the dust out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pcmp:
Yes I have the same amount and location of dust. It's not affecting me right now, but it's drag to know it's there.

With my old Nokia phones I was able to open them up and clean the screen, but they were resistive screens. Is there any difference on capacitive screens?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I wouldn't Worry about dust to much. Just put in it a sock while its in your pocket. That's what I do.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeKitto:
I'm a noob so please go easy. I've searched the forums but havent found anything on this, so either it's not supposed to be there or I'm just missing something that's obvious.

I've flashed TheDarkSide (preFinal), on my Unlocked Bell Intl Rooted Atrix following all the steps. Everything works as expected. My only issue was not being able to find the data saver option. I went to the market and attempted to download an app but Data Saver was enabled so nothing would download (unless I was connected to Wifi). I then went to the battery & Data settings (where I thought data saver was usually found), but didn't see the option to check/uncheck it.

I'd like to be able to enable/disable data saver whenever I want, so I just wanted to know if this option was included/excluded in this rom, if I'm looking in the wrong spot, or if I just had a bad flash or something.

Thanks for any help whatsoever

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
I just recently saw this black dot when I take pictures. It moves only when I zoom in and out. I've wiped the lens areas and it doesn't go away. The dot isn't there when in video mode. What might be the problem? It's annoying to see in all my pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Something between the lense and the sensor.

Zooming doesn't really move it because it is off center. I'm fairly certain zoom is completely digital and no parts are moving. Essentially your picture frame is shrinking smaller around the same central view.

Video size would be smaller than the entire sensor, so essentially the same dirt speck is out of the video frame. Identical to zooming into the picture.

Not sure if the sensor <-> lense assemply is sealed or not. Should be but maybe not.

You could try puffs of dry air, but be absolutely sure it is dry. Never use your mouth.

Alternatively you can try to shake the dirt out of the frame, but the dirt is probably too small to have any real weight.

If the lense assembly is sealed, warranty may be the only option.

Hope this makes sense.

Not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nrbelex:
dream5hift, did you get the problem resolved? I have a similar problem on the Sprint GSII. My dot looks very similar (though it remains even in video mode since it's closer to the center of the frame).

I figure it's sensor dust or something similar under the lens. Sending mine in to Samsung under warranty.

Can I just go ahead and try any of the AT&T guides?

1) Use root explorer (or any same kind of app)

3) Copy quickpic's apk file (Hint- take a look at the icons of the apk's, you'll easily understand which one is quickpic's file)

4) Paste it to system/app

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJewban:
For example --

I paid for and downloaded TBP (Titanium Backup Pro) from online droid market to my phone.

I was going to pay for two more installs to wife and sons phone but came across Titanium Backup Wiki's Q&A on licensing:

Assuming "Google account" is synonymous with "gmail account", my wife, son and I have separate ones for personal contacts, emails, etc.

So won't my contacts, emails, etc. automatically synch to their phones once I link them to my Google account for TBP download and install? And if so, is their a way to prevent this?

Thanks for any guidance. :)

You can add your acount to their devices and then in settings, go to accounts, and tap your email, and de-select the sync with contacts, mails, calendar, etc...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.ik:
I agree with sotodebonk, that's probably the way to do it. Make sure you add your account first, for example on first boot or when market asks for it, then deselect all sync for your acc and then add theirs, and make sure all syncing is on for their accs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Android devices support multiple Google account. Login on their devices as well and you can download the app on their devices.

Hi !

I'm discovering the SGS2, I have it since 2 days now.

I found a strange thing : Idle (cpu @200mhz), the facebook app is taking 5 to 14% of the CPU :eek: I don't know why because the app is not updating or making sync.

If I put the cpu clock on 1400Mhz, the cpu usage is about 2% for facebook app.

Anybody can say me why this app is doing that? :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:

It uses less cpu time/etc if you sign out of chat when you are not using it and increases the update interval to more than 1h.

If u have root then u should have the "Superuser app" View attachment 854452 or View attachment 854464, but Not this View attachment 854479 in ur app drawer. Or download a free app that requires root and test and see that way.

To go to a Gingerbread Rom from the Froyo 2.2 that u currently are running, u can use one of the One Clicks GB

with

Bootloaders in the Stickied One Click Thread in the Development Forum.

You have to have the GB Bootloaders in order to run a Gingerbread Rom, but once u have the Bootloaders there is not any need in flashing any bootloaders in the future, because the GB Bootloaders are backwards compatible.

There is risk in flashing bootloaders, so be sure u have a good micro usb to usb cable connection, preferably use a laptop so u don't loose power mid flash, remove all babies, animals, etc. from the room, so the cable does not get "accidentally" yanked during the flash.

Be sure u know what u r doing and then proceed.
