[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Try the app in my sig to give the headset/headphone volume a boost, works really well & only distorts the volume at very high levels (>75% which you shouldn't need). There are apps on the Market which can boost the speaker volume, not sure how well these work as I haven't tried any.

So far as the Market is concerned, I use a CM based rom and have had that problem as well. The only fix I've come across/read about is to restore a much earlier version of the market (hopefully someone else reads this thread and has a fix that can help both of us ;)). I haven't done this myself as I've trained myself to do all my scrolling thru app details on my PC first & simply do the install/update on my phone without scrolling thru the details :), but I'm sure a search on here should dig up something/the apk you need.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maks_007:
Ok, this is a question or questions for all of you who have experience with flashing ROM's and all other stuff. i got I9000, and I saw a couple beautiful running new ROM's running around with all kind of stuff. I've flashed my phone before with ODIN and I know how this works...but...my phone was broken a few months ago ( motherboard was malfunctioned) and I needed my warranty back so I needed my stock ROM back on. My problem is this...I couldn't fint it anywhere!! You must be thinking by now:" Oh what a noob, stock firmwares are available online etc"..but mine is not...believe me! The team in T-Mobile Croatia, from I'm coming were gracious and they have replaced my motherboard under warranty because problem was within motherboard. But this is where problem starts... My stock ROM 2.3.3. Gingerbread PDA is available online (I9000BOJV9), PHONE also (I9000XXJVO), but there is no CSC (I9000GCROJV7). If I want to put on for example Ice Cream Sandwich, I need to have rooted phone to do that in CWM, and also to make backup of my stock ROM since there is no CSC stock available to download. And again I'm bumping against the wall. There is no suitable CF Root for BOJV9...That means no new ROM for me...Or...someone is smart out there...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martynas900:
Why do you need stock rom? install for example darky ressurection and make back up
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maks_007:
I need stock ROM so I can flash my phone with it in case something goes south with phone and that I can bring back warranty on it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stenc55:
You don't need root for working with Odin, only download mode (3 buttons combo). You can flash any other rom, CWM it and then flash ICS.

CSC is irrelevant. I don't use it at least 10-15 last flashes and everything works fine. I had to modify one for my SGT and I saw there is nothing important in it. But while I was still using it, I just copied it from /system/csc and after flash returned back using Root explorer or Es file manager. SIM (Simobil) is allso hard to find.:p

Now I see that ICS is not using CSC at all. Can't find it. :confused:

When you talk about GB (I9000BOJV9) PDA, is it really just PDA or is it full ROM? On samfirmware (don't know the new adress, don't use it any more since ICS) are usualy full roms, CSC included.

Like I wrote, copy /system/csc, store it somewhere safe, and if you need it again just copy it back.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
Out of nowhere my vibrations stopped working. There's no vibrations at all, that means when i touch the screen, when i receive a message or a phonecall, when i reboot my phone. I was running miniCM7 with nAa kernel (latest versions) and it worked correctly, but then it just happened. I reflashed my x8 to stock 2.1 - no luck. Flashed nAa v11 + miniCM7 2.1.9 - nothing's changed. My phone didn't fall to the floor or anything, but yet I think it might be hardware problem. Correct me if I'm wrong. Any suggestions guys ?

Regards

EDIT: Of course I performed a full wipe multiple times.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Its usually the kernel thats the problem flash to v10 nAa and it will work

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
I was on nAa 10 when it stopped working. Then i went back to stock and the problem was still there. Now im on nAa 11 and still no luck. Ill try and go back to v10 but i doubt it will help. Thanks for the answer though.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
It never worked for me on nAa kernel. I just use Alfs kernel. Try out Alfs kernel but dont forget to install vold update. Let me know if it works

Dont forget to hit the thanks button!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
Just done that. Installed Alfs for GingerDX |v07| with CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V6 by Xperiafan13. Still, the problem persists :S
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Hardware problem I'm afraid!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
That's what I'm thinking too... I guess I'll have to unroot it, go back to eclair, re-lock the bootloader and hope they'll replace my phone with the new one :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread it doesnt matter as long as you have a stock kernel and stock rom. Lock the bootloader too. They might replace it hopefully

Goodluck!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
Thanks for your help friend. Thanks button hit !
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
No problem im here to help!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
Update: My phone fixed itself Oo. I didn't even touch it and it works.

Update 2: And it's broken again. I guess I'll stick to the replacing idea...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
If its still under warranty don't open it. Well you could if YOU want to fix it yourself. It could be lose connection. If you plan to open it yourself I will help you
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziemny:
I'll just take it to the shop on monday and see if they can replace it with a new one. Thanks for you help though :)
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
What people off, was the stories about signal issues & death grips. Or did HTC just not do as good as job as Samsung when it came to selling it?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Not sure really. I do think Samsung promoted the GS2 more than the Sensation.

Also, reviews did make out the GS2 to be slightly better than the Sensation which might have had an effect.
[HTC Sensation] townay:
i believe it was because of SA+ and its speedy performance..

i mean 1gb vs 768mb...

I bought my sensation because I dont want to hold some cheap plastic device in my hands. And looks of course. Sensation has got some good curved corner/edges vs gs2 somewhat bricky/blocky looks.

And Sense 3.0 of course. This is just me though. I am sure others prefer sensation for a different reasons.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
I was thinking of getting a Sensation after I sold on my GS2 because I didn't like its ergonomics, but what put me off I admit was all the talk about it having signal problems. From the aesthetic standpoint & build wise the Sensation looks better than the GS2. But I just couldn't get past my concerns about this issue & I wonder how many others were put off by it too?
[HTC Sensation] chukis13:
I was somewhat worried about it but I haven't had any issues yet.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
Is this an issue that may have been over-played then?
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
Honestly the Ram doesn't make a noticeable difference, the only thing that slows the Sensation down is Sense and not having true H/W Acceleration in Sense/GB... Purely marketing, HTC doesn't seem to make many televised adverts in the UK compared to Samsung.
[HTC Sensation] ixon2001:
I actually sold my Galaxy S2 & bought a HTC Sensation, basically i was having alot of problems with my Galaxy S2, after sending it back to Samsung twice i got fedup.

My HTC has been flawless upto now, as it doesn't suffer from the problems people on here have been having like the death grip or dust under the screen or heating up ect, but did notice mine was made pretty late on last year November to be excact.

First thing is did buy for it was an Anker 1900 mAh Battery, which now i can near 2 full days out of it between charges, the HTC battery only lasted a day if i was lucky.

I've not even bothered rooting or sticking custom roms on it neither, as it works fine for me as it is, & Sence 3.0 is miles ahead of Touchwiz.

Plus only having 768mb hasn't been a problem, everything that worked on the Galaxy S2 runs just as good on the HTC Sensation.

The only thing that let this phone down slightly is the camera, while it good it isn't to the same standard as the Galaxy S2 which was really good for a Smartphone.

Overall though im much happier with the Sensation than i was with the Galaxy S2.

Im even gonna skip a generation this time around as i don't need what on offer from the Smartphones that are due out this year.
[HTC Sensation] sp33dy_gtx:
sorry to interrupt all of you but what do you think about dhd I think it is more confortable to take in hands and more solid. I other specs sensation is better
[HTC Sensation] flyaway9000:
the sg2's 1gb ram and amazing screen
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
Explain to me how the 1gb makes life so much better than the Sensations 768mb? ^_^
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Yeah I can't see 1GB making that big a difference.

The screen has amazing colours but the resolution isn't that great IMO.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
I agree with you guys , 1gb ram doesn't really make huge difference.

The only things that make SG 2 better are the screen technology, colours are more vivid and black levels are deeper (res sucks tho) , Exynos SoC performance and 16gb storage size. I mean seriously 1gb is joke on a smartphone produced in 2011.

So I think these three factors were the major points why Sensation lost out
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
With the help of our great devs here in xda, I can equal or surpass that sg2 anytime hehehe.... Love my sensation... I won't probably change phone until this beast becomes obsolete, not anytime soon.... Here in California its in the tv probably every other day, with sensation, I don't see anything...

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats
[HTC Sensation] k0nfucius:
Because it's a good phone and because it was marketed well, with Samsung and the carriers pushing it hard.

People, as in people out there, not people on this forum really don't care about specs. Just look at how the iPhone is marketed.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I think the screens are equal in different ways. The Sensations is probably better for browsing, reading, texting etc. while the GS2's seems more suited to multimedia. It really comes down to what is right for you.

Agree about the Exynos, seems like a very powerful processor and the storage options are better if you need them. Personally, I just stuck a 32GB SD card in and I was sorted but HTC should really have put in at least 8GB of internal memory for a phone built in 2011.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Maybe they dont care about advanced specs but partition size is pretty simple and I know that people ask about that stuff.

So how much I can put into this device?

GS 2 16gb (12gb accessible) + microSD card

Sensation 4gb( about 1gb accessible ) + microSD card

See the difference? :)

People love big numbers :cool:
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
If the Sensation and GS2 came out the same time here in the states for T-Mobile, I would have probably got the GS2, but thankfully it didn't and I already had my eye on the Sensation since rumors in the beginning of the year of 2011. And also no rom support for the T-Mobile version of the GS2 so thankfully it worked out perfect for me.

I could say T-Mobile did advertise the Sensation here in the states, as well as HTC with the girl on the piano commercial, but HTC released the Amaze and then the SG2 it killed the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] guns for hire:
I think part of it must lie in Samsung having a bigger/more long term market presence/larger following than HTC. Plus them marketing the heck out of the device before its launch.
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
better marketing, to tell the truth EVERYONE and their mother know about the SGSII

ive often had people asking me "what phone is that?" when they see my sensation
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
Because samsung advertises sgs2 as the iphone killer/iphone clone as you can see by all of their commercials whereas htc sensation I can't say I have ever seen a commercial at all for it in California
[HTC Sensation] Arthur Hucksake:
I went iPhone 4> Galaxy S2 > Sensation.... and stuck with it.

Galaxy S2 is let down by the poor touchwiz interface and the lack of screen resolution. Also felt very plasticy, not as nice to hold in the hand and for daily use.

As a phone, the Sensation is far better for me personally. Could argue the GS2 is better as video viewing device, more vivid screen and good sound better for web browsing also.

Oh and the Sensation has a far better camera.

Not much between them really, I guess the GS2 is closer to a stock feel as you can get and people know Samsung as a home brand.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
Would you say the Sensation has better ergonomics than the GS2?
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
Agreed. Samsung commercials are fairly good, I actually love the galaxy note commercial.

Anyone remember the sensation commercials? Little girl playing a piano and singing doesn't exactly inspire me to buy a phone. Best feature of the Denny, is that its not huge or tiny, and if you dent our scratch the case, just get a new battery cover.

I do miss the amoled screen of my n1 though.
[HTC Sensation] sunlaw2:
Can't believe you guys believe sensation is better.

If the screen were brighter,and a little bit faster,and had a better speaker,then maybe.

But it doesn't.

Ill rate the camera even.

Try this,take a pic with t989 of something far,and small.

Blow it up/zoom in,and its readable.

Not so on sensation.

But I will say the sensation is fun to play with.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
The only problem I have with my sensation, is with no rubber case, it is slippery. A buddy of mine dropped my phone onto tile from about 5 feet in the air. It didn't hurt it though, so I'll give it an A for toughness! I told him to drop his iPhone 4s from the same height on tile and see what happens:) I have never seen a season commercial though, and I've seem many gs2 commercials.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I read that on Page 1 and lol'd. Anyway, I feel the GSII beat the Sensation for a multitude of reasons; the GSII is the sequel to one of the most popular and widely available Android handsets, it was going to succeed from the start. Also, the ad scheme. Here, Samsung chooses to target what the average user considers the best smartphone on the market; the iPhone. This is a unique and memorable ad for many users, largely because it's so bold to say "The next big thing is already here". The only commercial I ever saw for the Sensation, once, was another "You need a phone that gets you" commercials, people have been seeing those for a very long time, and to see another means the average user will just tune it out.

The GSII also has another major thing going for it; weight and dimensions. For some reason or another, the average user prefers thinnest and lightest to something you can really feel, really grip. The GSII beats out the Sensation in that regard.

However, the Sensation is a hell of a phone with Android 4.0 - or at the very least a good Gingerbread Sense rom.

TL;DRAds, marketing made the GSII a better buy.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Samsung makes TV's,etc. as well,so it would stand to reason people would identify with them more than HTC.
[HTC Sensation] DDeveryday:
Yup, it's all about marketing and branding. Samsung have already established their Galaxy Series S brand. Sensation looks like another HTC phone with a bigger screen. Not everyone are tech savvy and know what a processor or memory is. And for those who are, knows Galaxy S2 have the advantage.
[HTC Sensation] haris182:
In my country...

Some people still see htc as a crap chinese product, that's why they chose Samsung

But for people who knows htc, they will see it as a premium product manufacturer without cheap plastic body
[HTC Sensation] Nick L:
I think the big problem is name recognition, most people don't know what an "HTC Sensation" is. Maybe what HTC needs to do is make a single flagship phone and get all the carriers to carry it under the same name, like Samsung does with the "Galaxy" name.

"Sensation" might not be bad for this. They could have the top-end phone be the "Sensation II", and other variants would also have the Sensation name but with different suffixes, like what they did with the Sensation XE and XL.

I'm no marketing executive but it's a thought.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I'm thinking they should do a Hero line. The Hero was a pretty shweet Android back in the day, imagine a Hero II or Hero III, or another Desire. Desire HD II, etc etc.
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Although the extra RAM on the SGS doesn't make much of a difference, I believe that is the reason why many people were turned off from the Sensation.

It didn't make sense that HTC only put 768mb on their flagship phone.

And months before, the EVO 3D came with 1GB. So why not the Sensation?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolf895:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanoviper:
how long have you had it? i read that due to the different speed at which the different colors of the oled screen age that might happen because that upper part is usually always dark because of the notification bar
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolf895:
I've noticed this since a December end..

The phone is just around 5 months old.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanoviper:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolf895:
Hmmm Yeah, lets see what Samsung has to say about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave106:
Mines the same, 8 months old. Its because that part of the screen is usually black because of the notification bar. so the oleds arent used very much, and when they are, they are in better condition than the rest of the screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudolf895:
so what should we do? just leave it like that?

It bothers me when i watch videos in landscape
