Epic comment. Agree with every point. Very disappointed that Samsung let this amazing phone come with such poor video autofocus. Didn't their testers notice this? Someone somewhere in SGS2 development brushed this issue under the carpet. Very shady.

Apple wouldn't have let this happen...

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

But...but...if they fixed it then nobody would buy the SGS3....

Honestly? They've had nearly a year to fix an issue they knew about. My hopes aren't high on an ICS fix :(
[Galaxy S II General] cokeman2:
how ever much i love the sgs 2 i have to agree with this :(
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
lets say thet have sold 20million devices and like 10 000 have problems with, I dont think they are gonna fix it. I guess it's is easier for them to RMA them than work on the problem :( which is unfortunate for the affected users :(
[Galaxy S II General] Filiprino:
Are you sure an RMA would fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Thx guys, I wouldn't write this without motivation of others in the thread. Together we can try to do something. At least we have better chances than complaining lonely. I'd be nice to interest some GSM portals. If few of them picked up topic, perhaps it would make more pressure. It is customer right to have that he paid for.

Unfortunately not all users of Fujitsu will complain - because many of them will think it is as it should be. User'd think it is just the phone and it is common. Some of them will not bother also because will buy next phone. I think Samsung counts on it as well.

I am sure every firmware for Fujitsu is one big failure - so I guess there are much more wrong phones than example 10 000. I guess they sold few millions in Europe, at least few hundreds of thousands has such bad firmware.:)
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Well done. Thorough research. But...

You obviously know your stuff, but I would say that the vast majority of users - myself included - do not possess your depth of knowledge, and - myself included again - are happy enough with the camera.

In spite of repeated attempts (well, about four) I cannot reproduce the infamous pink spot. Stuff I film isn't reliant on autofocus so much (does homemade pron count?). As a happy-snapper-point-and-shoot device, this camera is good enough for me.

I won't claim that I speak for the masses, but I'll surmise that the camera quality is not at the top of most users' priority list with regards to this phone. You've certainly convinced me it

could

be better but unfortunately it's Samsung you need to convince, and that doesn't seem to be going so well...

I have equally strong feelings re the SQ for music - I'm not a genius/supercurio (metaphors AFAIC), but I do know my stuff there, and it still frustrates the squits out of me that Samsung decided that a worse chip than the SGS was the way forward (reason #1 for not buying the Note).

I wish you all the best - maintain the rage!

I had scef02 ehich makes mine fujitsu. Just did an update snd now i have SCEE09

PHONE FW TBEC28. does this help?

Edit: just got it that i actually downgraded my camera. Reverting SCEF02

[Galaxy S II General] bkraptor:
So is SBEF02 affected by the same issue?
[Galaxy S II General] jgalvez21:
well on ics 4.0.3 camera managed to get white balance, better,

it's not perfect, but at least i dont get too orange pictures inside my house
[Galaxy S II General] :
samsung sucks

just do it like me and never ever buy a samsung phone...
[Galaxy S II General] mariosraptor:
then what is your business here? trolling? go at iphone section or where ever you need to be. we like our Samsung phones.
[Galaxy S II General] nipip:
People should be alerted about camera issues before buying the phone, hope this thread brings solutions.
[Galaxy S II General] xan:
Yup, this should be sticky!

Alert the people, make them ask Samsung - possibly drop sales a little - make Samsung react -

- admit the problem

- send service procedures and parts to service centers

- in case of customer complaint invite to service center for solution: firmware flash/module change

So easy.

Samsung made billions of dollars on these devices and yet it cant spare few bucks for such programme. Pitty.

500$+ device with broken camera, no ICS (because samsung takes its time breaking it with TW)

I would go Apple way if I knew that.

(joke..)
[Galaxy S II General] suzaku:
truly disappointed...if I knew the video recording had this problem I wouldn't have bought the phone :mad:

the problem is that they marketed it as the "perfect" phone that has everything unmatched; perfect camera, perfect web browsing, perfect gaming,...etc

also we must note that most (if not all) reviews sites which r the main reference for many people (myself included) before buying a phone NEVER said a word about any camera problem

it's true that not all the phones have the defected module/firmware, but not at least one review site got it?

or is it that samsung sends review units equipped with the perfect stuff and sell the ****ty ones to the masses??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

to be honest I feel like I fell in a dirty trap made by samsung which is probably laughing its ass off pointing at me right now, which is something I don't like :mad:

if samsung doesn't fix the problem with ICS (or any other kind of fix) I'll probably sell the phone and never come back to this company again. not because I can't live without video recording (actually I rarely use it) but because I ABSOLUTELY HATE these marketing methods
[Galaxy S II General] D3_:
The SGS2 is advertised on samsung's website as "Recording & Playback 1080@30fps" while the SCEF02 firmwares (And other firmwares for the Fujitsu camera module) struggle to record at 30fps, can't something be done about false advertisement?
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Yes I am really aware of it. For many people it is just the way it is, and they're OK with it, Samsung counts on this too as well :)

Hmmm it should happen when you turn camera on the wall, or white paper example. Light conditions are also important.

Camera generally is not completely bad. It is not good either. It can be improved adding new functions like it is in lgCamera. But definitely it should have been fixed long time ago to be as advertises say.:)

Well camera adverts were in my case quite strong impulse to buy this phone. Most reviews were also "oh ah, orgasm" and it was hard to find any very deep review.

Everything else is OK, but this part is not as to be expected according to the ads and just human understanding.

There is really hard to find long, deep review. I am not surprised. To write it you'd have spent quite long time with the phone, than few days. Reviewers often don't have enough time to do it. Sometimes they are just non-technicians, when they see picture and they liked it, it meant camera was OK :)

I do not want to generalize and I do not know about SGS II reviews behind-the-scenes actions, but it is quite often practice. It is the same as reviewing other stuff, kitchen hardware, ect. This is why much more often you will get true opinions from real users who say their own impressions. If you were a producer you'd like to send the best what you have to get great rate, when reality can differ. Unfortunately sometimes it is bad for customers.

Well, the only way is to send requests to GSM portals to incentive them looking at such problem. Also Facebook comments and so on. Then we could have had better chances, than now where we know Samsung via hotline doesn't care about anything.

I am going to write within few days to local GSM webs, maybe I'll be lucky.... or not :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tariq_devil:
actually i formatted all the things in recovery mode (/cache, /datadata, /data, /mmc, /sd, /system), from that time my phone was not booting and stuck at the samsung gt i9003 screen. I plugged my phone in download mode but Odin doesnt detect it but my PC is detecting it so i guess there is no cable problem. can anyone guide me what to do now, i am stuck?? :confused: :confused: :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tariq_devil:
and one more thing, my phone was rooted and was currently running on official 2.3.5 XWKPG fw! plz help me :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
you're skipping steps in your complaint. you can't go from odin not recognizing your phone to having csc difficulty in recovery, right?

what fw and rom are you using?

and, after flashing kpe, the csc is applied from the csc file. since kpq, etc., don't have a csc file, the csc can't be accessed...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tariq_devil:
Sorry for the briefness in my complaint. Actually i flashed the xxkpq after the drivers got installed and my phone was detected by odin. But after the flashing the phone got stuck in loop at samsung boot screen so i decided to clear the cache in recovery mode. When i wiped the cache, it gave error as cant access multi csc. Can anyone suggest me the solyion for this problem?

Will we need a new kernel before flashing if we are on holiraider ?

Awesomeness I'm glad I did not returned my Vivid.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Make sure the apn type does NOT include entitle. Entitle is basically backup for 3g legacy, so if it is in your APN, you cannot use 4G or LTE period.

It doesnt my apn type says default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri and LTE is still not selectable.

weird for you guys, I tested it out with my B&W Headphones with a headset and the mic works fine. Both calls and memos.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Yea the internal Mic isn't working
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Unofficial Mic Fix

I made an update to possibly fix the mic issue that some of us have. I added them to my Holiss download and installed the rom and my internal mic is working perfectly now. These are the files I added:

AIC3254_REG_DualMicXC.csv

AIC3254_REG_XD.csv

TPA2051_CFG_BEATS_HW.csv

All three of them may not be needed but I know that adding them to the rom fixed the mic issue for me at least.

I have attached an MicUpdate.zip that includes those three files. It should be flashable in recovery however I have not tried flashing it. Either way if it doesn't flash its likely not going to brick anything as its virtually impossible to brick a phone through recovery. If it doesn't working you can always adb push them to your /system/etc directory in root explorer or ask someone to make a better update zip
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Well I guess my fix doesn't work. Voice recorder works perfectly with the mic but phone calls still do not.

Hi there!

I kept the thread about java apps in menu:

h ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=[HTML]912270&page=6

Now, I want to implement those icons to MainMenu and Desktop of Bada 2.0

I have seen callings in other branded firms to Java Apps in the Menu. There were modifications in HsMenuItemURL.ini and MainMenu_Init.ini. The calling to the Java app or ID was set in 210.

I tried the same with OperaMini, which is set in ID=80. The Java app shows but it does not open, nothing happens. I think I'm missing something. Maybe, some file to place the ID and relate it to the .jar. Don't know yet.

Any help? Any solutions?

[EDIT] Success in running some Java apps from the Main Manu: Opera Mini and Google Maps. Only some IDs known. Any list of rest of IDs?

For main Menu we have standart list of predefined application, but

we can change java application, now i can start Jimm by shortcut Palringo.

for it we need to correct class, vendor and name in KJxDispatch.ini and KJxMidlet.ini

And seems that all string from menu located in System.rsr, and i think we can correct name of java application. But i don't know how to correct icons((((

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GregX80:
Hi everyone

I'm new here and I have Galaxy S2 on Virgin UK network. I would like to ask S2 owners or anyone who can help me about advice. I spent hours in many forums and I still can't truly get what is wrong with my phone.

The problem occurs when my phone is working in automode (gsm/wcdma). When I get to place without proper 3G network coverage my galaxy s2 goes in to 2G and never comes back from it to 3G (in automode). When I want to come back to 3G I have to reboot my phone or toggle it manually to WCDMA only for a second and switch it back to automode. Whenever I do it I'll have 3G (or H) to the next time when I'll go to the place without 3G coverage.

Is there anyone who owning galaxy s2 on Virgin UK with working 2G - 3G switching in automode (gsm/wcdma). Anyone even in other UK networks or it's just normal behavior for galaxy s2? I know at least 2 people who have the same problem with S2 and Virgin.

I've tried many different roms and a lot of modems too (even orange UK, 3UK, T-mobile UK stock modems), Juice Defender beta, other software switchers and wigets.

Help, please :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bynar010:
Not on virgin, but a UK user on 02. Never experienced the issues you are describing, so it seems network specific.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GregX80:
Thanks mate. I need all your opinions before I'll complain to the Virgin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Possible its the masts you are picking up from .

SGS2 and 1 bothy worked fine on Virgin for me >> have you entered the correct settings from the web site .

CSC for Virgin i always used the CPW carphone warehouse one as some UK csc do not have Virgin settings .Virgin of course runs on the TMobile network .

MASTS

http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search

I've tried many different roms and a lot of modems too (even orange UK, 3UK, T-mobile UK stock modems)

That will of course have invalidated your warranty from Virgin .You need to restore if sending the phone back .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GregX80:
Of course. I came back to stock firmware 2.3.4 last night anyway.

Thanks I'm going to check CPW carphone warehouse. Settings are from Virgin website and I'm picking up signal in BT4 1QF area now.

EDIT:

Well

I flashed GT-I9100_CPW_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100CPWKD1 - CPW carphone warehouse with factory restet before of course.

Phone started in 3G obediently. I switched from automode to gsm (what occurs when I'm in place without 3G) and I switch it back to automode again to check whether in goes in automode from 2G to 3G or not. It was last time when I saw 3G icon on the screen. No luck. Still doesn't work. Absolutly the same.
