[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exabrial:
After the update I'm having trouble with browser scrolling. If I flick the browser vertically, it will also scroll side ways ever so slightly. Is there a way to restore the normal behavior? It use to be that if you flick vertically your page with scroll straight up and down, but now unless you get a perfectly vertical flick, it'll move in the exact direct your finger did, rather than guessing you were trying to scroll vertically.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exabrial:
I've been reading around... Apparently scrolling wallpaper was removed due to Apple 'patents'. Could this be another casualty of war?
[HTC Sensation XL] dullhunk:
Guys going to upgrade myself ...and getting my xll within 2 days i m so xcited....is it a great phone to play hd games (asphalt ,gta etc)

and in custom roms(I HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED BINDROID ROM AND WILL FLASH IT :)) beats audio works same as in stock rom ?

Waiting for ur replies guys..
[HTC Sensation XL] sachin kundu:
Bro its really a gud phone go and grab it.....its single core processor handles hd games amazingly.....u wont be dissapointed...

Phone is amazing ony -ve thing is very less android development..

I havent checked beats on custom rom so i dont know there is any differnce in custom and stock beats.
[HTC Sensation XL] westentertainer:
i have had every smart phone you can think of,all the i phones ,galaxy s,galaxy s2,xperia,but this is the best phone i have had ,fast ,battery life unbelievable.

i always root my phones and flash them BUT i have not touched this XL i love it as it is .
[HTC Sensation XL] jona29:
must just be me then , its proper pants this phone just off to swap mine for a galaxy s 2 .

freezing locking up etc dont let the phone go cold or it goes completely unresponsive

not worth a w**k in my opinion
[HTC Sensation XL] westentertainer:
well i can only say that i have had no problems at all,no freezing,locking,i take my phone to work so it gets cold,,,strange
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
Sounds like you got a dodgy one then. Not had any of those issues at all. More than happy with mine.

Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect. No phone is, and HTC's do have their little quirks what with Sense and everything. But this is a very good phone. not the most popular cos of it's size, and it's only a single core (albeit a stonking great one) as opposed to a dual core, but it's a very capable phone. So glad i upgraded from my Desire to this.

Got it 2 days after release, and never looked back.
[HTC Sensation XL] riz157:
Brilliant phone had gs2, sensation, iPhone 4s but kept sensation xl. Obviously could do with better camera, dual core and sd card slot nevertheless it's fast and responsive.

The only other phone I would consider in the market at that moment is nexus galaxy for different reasons ics, screen resolution, dual core. I would advise comapare the two before purchasing.
[HTC Sensation XL] dullhunk:
I LIKE SENSATION xl design getting mine tommorow. yuppiieee...

thanks for all answers.
[HTC Sensation XL] riz157:
Good move mate go for XL just got nexus galaxy, dissatisfied. Too many bugs, freezes crashes, poor camera. Poor quality, screen resolution OK nothing to be excited about.

Hi! Cant post question directly in the main thread so far, thats why you see this question here )

Does 3D camera works for you in this rom with or without hotfix? 3D camera craches with FC for me whatever I do. Also two items are not working in Cyanogen settings >>> System>>> anonymous .. and check updates are force closing always. Is it fixable? Does it work for you?

Thanks.

Got answer from Achotjan: 3d camera seems to be OK, and as for settings,he will fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
this is sux... how to fix it?

i tried to do hard reset but still the same problem.

usually it reboots when i'm listening a music but today it has rebooted when i was using simple "light" application...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Sounds like you have a defective phone if it's happening frequently while your phone is awake. I've had the same thing happen one time in six weeks, not enough to call it a problem, but if you're having it daily or more something is wrong with the phone. I'd exchange it if it were me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Are you still stock?

rom

kernel

launcher

theme

Help us, help you... :p

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
yeah, almost daily...

i was thinking about exchange but i waited 3 weeks for my device from germany to my country... so if i send them it back i will have to wait another 50-60 days...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
yeah, stock, no root, no custom, stock launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well of course try to do a factory reset and very selectively install apps and see if something is causing it. If nothing specific is causing it you're probably looking at a defective device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Nine times out of ten the reboots are caused by some apps that you are using or that runs in the background. If you wiped your phone and set it up again, do not install apps. DON'T. See if it crashes like that or not. If it still crashes then you likely have a hardware defect of sorts.

Of all apps, stay away from any apps that interfere with Android as a system. Battery life managing apps are by far the worst, for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Yeah, kristovaher makes a good point- it could possibly be a rogue app. Avoid not only battery manager apps but also task killers and any other app that supposedly increases battery life. None of them are really necessary or useful anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
i have done factory reset

installed only Go Keyboard, turned on unknown sources and usb debugging like i allways do.

copied all my mp3s to the device and was listening a music... and it reseted again...

p.s. btw,

sometimes

when i'm listening a music and screen is locked, the music starts lagging (slows down)... it plays normal if i press power off button so the screen highlight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiwengang:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
guys do u really think i should return this?

it will take another 1.5-2 month untill it reachs the shop or return back to me.. not sure if they even will answer via e-mail when i'll ask for relace... i'm not sure but i think it started reboot much after 4.0.2. maybe new 4.0.3 will have positive effect. some people from my local forums also advised me to flash any custom ROM (some of them had such a problem and it helped them, reboots gone... liek they said)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
This random reboot has happened to so many people. So please, don't tell him that he got a lemon. You can google up "galaxy nexus random reboot" and see how many complaint of similar issue have been posted. I also got random reboot every two days or so. But if the OP got it every day or more frequently than that, just exchange it.

If you want to proudly say your Gnex does not randomly reboot, EVER, then just use it for phone calls, browsing the internet, and Facebook only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
How often is it happening?

If its more than once a day its certainly defective. That is not normal behavior. If its every few days then deal with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiroger:
It's happened twice under the same set of circumstances:

1. Streaming Pandora

2. Charging

Not sure if they're related but it started happening after upgrading to 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I do everything with my gnex, and aside from adw launcher ex, have seen NO reboots in the month I have had it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
well, last 1.5 weeks after i stopped using NRG player and turned to stock google music player, i had no reboots... but few days ago it started to reboot again.. can't say every day, maybe in 2-3 days but only once per day... mostly when i'm listening a music.

if it's mass problem then it's really sad....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
why dont you flash 4.0.3 and rule out whether it's 4.0.2 or the phone... if it's the phone i'm assuming you're on GSM, cause if you weren't, you could walk into verizon, switch it out, and have a new one 15 minutes from now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I had the same problem yesterday, I tought it was a problem with the kaspersky launcher. isn't that a problem of kaspersky?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
This is a known issue with certain encoding bit rates on music files. Enable the EQ music effects and it keeps the cpu speed high enough to negate lag, even when screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noodles222:
Almost all the complains about reboots are connected with 4.0.2 update. Letw wait for 4.0.3. When I was on 4.0.1 no reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jiwengang:
I am suggesting the fact on my phone. Sorry if so many reboots. I call it an lemon because mine does not and yes mine is gummy 0.7 with Franco 15 2 and I am doing so many freaking things on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
THIS!!!!!! Search "google music lag when screen is off"

Its all over the net that the CPU runs too slow. The only time I get reboots is when using Google music. They need an update!!!!

Bone stock phone 4.0.2 ota .......minimal apps

Anyone saying the phone is a lemon is a moron. Don't listen to them....its obvious that it is a software issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
For real, you think this happens to everyone often with the Gnex? I use my phone heavily for browsing, reading feeds, gaming, video, music, and texting...it's in my hands for many hours a day...and it's randomly rebooted exactly once since I got 4.0.2.

I don't use Facebook so I don't even have the FB app installed, and I've taken less than half a dozen phone calls (I still use a landline for most calls :eek:).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheg:
my equalizer is always turned on with 3d efects etc, but still sometimes got lags

still waiting for 4.0.3 official update.. well people said google wouldl update its devices fast.. not seems so..

Hi,

Bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note a few days ago.

Turn out it has a big problem with its camera - a big pink or red spot appears on all pictures I take.

I'm attaching an example image.

Is there a solution for this issue? Setting? Firmware update?

Or am I stuck with this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taycuong76:
Sorry to hear that. If only you knew and checked b4 buying... Galaxxy S2 or Galaxy Note. Because it is considered as characteristic of the SS product, not consider as errors. SO, you CAN'T fix it completely.

To my knowleage, there are some shipments of Galaxy Note have this "Pink spot", other shipments may not. Also some heavy "Pink spot", some lighter.

Usually, it appears in some fixed conditions, as: low (not enough) light... So many posts out there on interrnet talking about this matter.

You should reset all your settings in camera/video recorder to default options to limit it:

- Exposure value: 0

- Screen Mode: None

- Effects: None

- White balance: Auto

- Outdoor vissibility: off

- ISO: Auto

- Auto contrast: Off

- Blink detection: Off
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomletters:
Thanks, this seems to reduce the spot to the mininum. But it's still there. Is it a problem with the matrix?

I knew they had this problem on SGS2 but I thought they have fixed it since. It's amazing that they didn't fix it on a high end device like the note..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
i had this pink spot on all my devices more or less. i agree that it can be reduced to minimum and wont appear on all pictures (depending on light and/or white balance), but it is definitely there.

if i remember right this is due to optics quality, some sort of chromatic aberration perhaps? also on the SGS2 there were at least 3 different cam module manufacturers: one was sony, one samsung and the 3rd i do not remember. sony's modules were the best ones! you could see which module you have by analyzing the cam-fw names!

if the note also has different cam manufacturers i do not know, but this would perhaps also explain why such things are different...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomletters:
There is still a chance I can have the phone replaced in the shop I have bought it from.

Is there a way to know what camera versions there are on the note? Which one is better?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Cant blame him for not knowing, its not even on the box that says this 'feature' and also big review sites dont really cover this as they might not receive sample units for making 'unfavorable' reviews.

To check the camera version

This has been going on since the Galaxy S2 days and Im not really surprised if this continues upto the Galaxy S3, a lot of people are spreading the B.S. that this is 'normal' just like the screen issues.

So anyway reference thread from the Galaxy S2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443658

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098834

I never really checked the camera firmware on my friend's note but his does not have any pink spot at all after taking a similar picture on a white piece of paper with limited lighting.

Consider this as a hardware limitation or a pure defect, I dont really care this is just a minor issue for me but I understand this is a major concern for others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victor19nyc:
Wow. The issues described in the GSII forum linked below are exactly the troubles I am having with the Note's camera.

It's minor in the broad scheme of things but major considering a premium device such as this should not have such a glaring weakness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAlmighty:
^^^ The S2 and Note use the SAME CAMERA, that explains why the pink-spot returned on a newer model.

As there have been no further responses since Feb....does this mean...

- the problem is not widespread

- the problem has been resolved with later firmware

- current devices don't have this problem

Anyone know what the likely scenario is?

IMHO, the problem is in every gnote unit, and it's not firmware problem, but hardware, current devices do have this problem, until now, i've checked every units my friends own, and the demo unit in the store, but still, i can't help but to notice the pink spot, i think, maybe it will be fixed in note 2.

IMHO, to samsung, this isn't really a problem, because it's not really that visible, and who will take a picture in a plain white object anyway?but we do right, lol, if you take picture on low light room, you'll see the spot, and i've tried to take my gf picture, on the face, and it has that blushing effect on her, the only solution is taking pictures not in a low light area, and white object,

[HTC ChaCha] PaddyM:
A day or two ago I unlocked my ChaCha using the HTCDev.com instructions. I then used DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su to root it. Everything was going fine until I apparently deleted one too many system apps and now my phone is in extremis.

The problem: As the phone boots up and reaches the HTC logo screen, just when the main interface should appear, an error pops up. It says:

Sorry!
The process com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Force close]

When I close it, the HTC logo appears again as the main GUI is reinitialised, which leads to the same error popping up again, thus entering into an infinite loop.

I can just about manage to connect the phone to my PC as a disk drive, but it's not connected in such a way that RUU or unrooting applications can "find" it from within Windows, so if I'm to fix this it's gotta be from the SD card/Hboot.

Details:

* HTC ChaCha with the latest Android firmware.

* Unlocked and rooted, but remains S-ON (Superuser was installed and worked).

* Used Titanium to delete apps, but made backups and have them on my hard drive for safe keeping but can't access the phone in order to restore them properly.

* I was unable to restore backed-up system apps prior to this critical problem emerging, which I think is because my phone isn't "truly" rooted. I can apparently remove from but not add to the protected areas of the phone.

* I've tried flashing the device with numerous recovery ROMs and they all fail (wrong image, etc.). I'm having an extremely difficult time finding the original ROM anywhere and more importantly finding one which will work without the phone being connected to the PC at any stage of the flashing job.

* Factory resets and recovery boots don't seem to have any effect.

* It's a carrier-locked/branded phone, from Three/Hutchison 3G UK. I'm locked into my contract for another year at least.

* Before I rebooted the phone for the last time [prior to the beginning of the above problem] I noticed that my ringtones and related media were all gone and I was unable to download new ones even using third-party apps; the "unable to download sound" error was constantly popping up and when I received messages or phone calls the phone would vibrate but wouldn't play any tones.

* My brother and I spent the better part of 6 hours scouring the net and trying every combination of steps we could think of to try and resolve this. I wouldn't have posted here if I wasn't at the end of my tether and if I hadn't tried every solution I could find from others on various forums including this one, nor would I be so quick to reveal myself to be a deletion-happy moron to a forum of experts (I saw that anti-noob YouTube clip!).

Is there any hope of fixing this issue given my obvious lack of critical faculties?

Thank you for reading this.
[HTC ChaCha] dapaua:
You can always install clockworkmod recovery and from there a custom rom. Check the relevant thread, it is pinned.
[HTC ChaCha] skezza:
OK,

don't panic. I almost thought you'd hard bricked your phone when modifying the NAND. This is a soft brick and ALL soft bricks can be recovered, they just take a bit of pain and suffering. Sometimes more suffering than others, but that's irrelevant.

Question, you say you can't restore system apps? How did you try? If a phone is perm rooted, it's rooted. Obviously a temp root is different to a perm root, but I believe this is a perm root as you can REMOVE apps from the system memory. If a root wasn't perm, every app would be sandboxed so no app, including titaniumbackup would work.

S-ON is part of HTC's snap on BL protection. The fact your phone is S-ON is now not that important, the BL is unlocked, thats what matters.

Ok, important advice here (for future ref), you shouldn't go mad with deleting unless you've tried freezing first. Freezing allows you to recover by simply doing a factory reset. Most bootloaders (including HTC's) allow you to perform an emergency factory reset from there. You might lose all the **** on there, but you will have a working phone. You also need to be careful with TitaniumBackup, I'm sure you didn't remove the obvious important ones, but the fact you lost access to your audio means you removed a sound/media package. Next time, google "HTC chacha, safe to remove" as more people root this phone in the next few weeks, safe to remove lists will appear. For SGS (my phone) there is a whole shared google doc with a list of system apps, and the consequence of removing them.

You can't restore a system app if there is a conflict. Try and identify the conflict.

By the sounds of it, you are using ROMs designed for CWM. If you are going to do that, flash CWM first. There are shed loads of tutorials. If you want to install the stock rom all over again, just download the stock RUU.

See above about freezing.

Doesn't matter, you'll fix it, guarantee it.

See what I said above.

Have you tried every combination of steps? You've clearly not tried CWM. I'm not suggesting that as a silver bullet (personally, I try to avoid CWM if I can) but it's the best way to give you low level access to the NAND so you could easily flash an OTA ROM, modded ROM or even return it to stock dead quick.
