[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
From memory, Samsung's policy doesn't involve getting you a brand new phone. They'll give you a refurbed one or change out your screen (most likely). However if you've bought it from a reseller or service provider, they might be able to offer you a new one no hassles. It all depends really, and i've not gone through it to really comment.

Just remember if you end up sending it in, don't put the back cover or battery in there and unroot and relock bootloader just in case. If you're lucky you'll get an extra back cover and battery for your troubles.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
I dont have the phone rooted so thats not an issue.

I bought a sim free nexus from samsung distributor in my country. I really didnt know about this samsung policy it really stinks if true.

I dont have time to get the LCD replaced as I am leaving town next week and it kills resale value as when you sell the first thing the other person asks is if it's been repaired.

I will call the distributor tomorrow to see what "policy" they have regarding this. If I get new phone then good otherwise I will just keep using it. The problems with my LCD can only be seen with a keen eye so I really dont think it would cause a problem when selling the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You'll probably be expecting a 3 - 4 week turnaround time if you send it to them (unsure about service centers and what powers they have in this) and you can have a read here. Luck of the draw most likely.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
I just checked a friends iphone 4 and even that didnt have a very uniform screen at full brightness. Are you guys really sure you cannot see any bleed at full brightness in a dark room?? Not many LCD's are capable of that atleast the corners will be a bit more bright. And to be fair the nexus LCD does get really really bright on full brightness.

I think I can live with this since I barely use the phone on full brightness.

And I also searched about dead pixels, it seems many screens will have atleast one or 2 if you notice hard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeleFragger:
so i have a question.. sorry im new to the new phone and still learning..

my mogul died.. but i had connected my new phone to my computer and it auto sync'd my contacts...

im missing a few people... so i emailed a bud to txt me his #..

he did... so i added him to concacts from there...from the txt..

well when i click on contacts on my main screen.. i search for him and he is not there..

anyone know what is going on.. well the real question..

what am i doing wrong or not doing right...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Please stop calling it "the droid", it's a galaxy s2 running android. Either you didn't save it or didn't enter it right in the contacts. You can also look and add contacts online through your Gmail accout.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Wow dude, relax with the hostility, he don't know yet :)

You probably saved the contact to your phone contacts. Make sure you save contacts to your Google contacts, let me know if you need anything else
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Im sure if it was saved to phone it would still show up in searching.

Im leaning more to the contact didn't save.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
it's possible, but my phone only showed google contacts out of the box. was a real head-scratcher for me for a few hours because I kept overlooking whether to check if 'phone' contacts were being displayed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeleFragger:
sorry.. i wont call it a droid anymore.. i will reference it as

Black Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch... glad it is a short name :rolleyes:

anyway... if it was NOT saved.. then why at first when he txt me it had his number in the header... but then when i went in and said add contact.. and gave it a name.. it then had his name... but then when i went into contacts cuz i wanted to add a pic to it.. i couldnt find it...

Thanks... ill have to see that.. i didnt know you could save to phone contacts vs google contacts.. thought they were the same... gonna look around now..

on the hostility part.. im not worried.. im a member of offroad truck sites that frankly will make you tear up and cry in a feetal position cuz they are so harsh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Is your friend's name the same our similar to anyone else's name in your contacts?

Google will combine contacts that it thinks may be related. For example, if you have two contacts, one Bob Smith and one Robert Smith, they will end up combined.

Check any contacts that are similar to your friend's name. Edit the contact, and scroll through it and see if he's there. If he is, Tao the menu button and separate the contacts.

He will then become his own contact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeleFragger:
nope.. last name mintel.. if i searched my phone for mintel I saw none.... that is inside the contacts icon located on the bottom of my home screen...

now i looked in gmail and didnt see contacts.. not sure why got to look again.. maybe walk away from the computer for a bit... eyes hurt....

so i added him in contacts as he was already in text.. i dunno.. more messing around i guess..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
here's contacts within gmail
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
They only get merged on the phone. At least that's my experience.

If you start dialing the number in your dialer, does the name come up in the auto complete? Is it the correct name?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeleFragger:
yes it does.. but i did just end up adding him manually into contacts..

funny thing is i went and edited the contact from the text side of the world.. and paste it all into the contacts section... weird...

Hi,

Today I followed 2 tutorial to how to do it. OK I have old market, but it FC in 5 seconds (com.android.vending). I'm annoyed cause of new market, IT LAGS SO MUCH. Is there any solution for old market on STOCK ROM?

Using MIUIv1

____________________________

Solution:

1. Download ‘Vending.apk’ from here

2. Reboot into recovery and plug into pc,

3. mount /system using your recovery

4. From your preferred ADB console run these commands

adb push Vending.apk /system/app

adb shell rm /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk

adb shell chown root.root /system/app/Vending.apk

5. Reboot your phone .

6. Download and install http://www.4shared.com/file/s1PoadZK/comandroidvending-236.html

(No reboot required)

(This is original 2.3.6 version of market, no suspicious permissions)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Modulüs:
Delete the MarketUpdater from system/app. It will prevent ur market from gettin upgraded. Then uninstall upgrades from settings- applications- manage apps .

PRESS THNX IF I HELPED
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Brajano95:
I doesn't have uninstall upgrades option, I had already uninstalled MarketUpdater.

It doesn't work as well as a little newer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !!11oneone:
I can't seem to find an app to do exactly what I'm looking for. I want folders to back up to my NAS over my wifi network, but to remember what's been copied and only send new files regardless of whether they're still in the destination folder or not.

I'm currently using the sync option of AndFTP but it copies everything.

Here's my use case: I copy all my photos over to a 'Phone Pics' folder on my NAS, I then sort them into folders by date or place and delete anything I don't want to keep. But the problem is that the next time I sync, any I move or delete get copied over again!

So, I have to keep a folder of everything and copy them to other folders if I want them to be sorted or part of a different photoset. Which is annoying and harder to keep track of.

Ideally, the app would remember the date of the last sync and only copy new or changed files since then.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickt:
https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !!11oneone:
Ah, no still doesn't work unless I haven't set it up right.

It copies files across ok, but if I move them out of the destination folder they're copied straight back on next sync. What I need, I guess, is not a sync setup but a 'copy new files only'

I tried to install Mike's ICS rom today. I used this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445816

Tried system partition sizes with 190/200/210/220. Erased everything. I used format on SD card too. Got only ICS on it. I stuck always at LG logo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kua4p8v7ClY

This one at 0:06 sec of video.

Anyone can help? Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
go into recovery, wipe system partition, cache and davlik cache, reflash

reboot
[GT540 Optimus General] Cobalton:
I have recovery version v5.0.2.8 is that maybe problem?

Just doing this again as u told me, and I will post again if it doesn't help me. Thanks so far. :))

Edit:

It didn't help. I tried it 2times. Now I used 250mb system partition, still not passing this LG logo.. it seems I can't run ICS on my LG GT540. :<
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
Might be a curropted zip file, try redownloading it, also set ur system to 200 only
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Guys it takes very long to boot trust me it took me more them 5 min
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
ye but from the lg logo it shouldnt hang

it hands on the bootscreen for about 10mins first boot after upgrade
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
mine stuck on both for very very very long
[GT540 Optimus General] Cobalton:
I will try to download again or I will wait for beta6 now, maybe it will work on my phone.. and hey aaa801 I tried 200mb system too, but it didn't work.

@bs828 I waited for about 20minutes on LG logo, it didn't pass. I tried to flash this in every way, but didn't get it to work so I switched again on my ASIS.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
hmm weird .... yeah i think you should go back to asis but i recommend sdsl final alot better! just flash no need to wipe data from asis
[GT540 Optimus General] Cobalton:
I tried SDSL but it got problems, and ASIS is a lot better rom for daily use for me. SDLS gives me random freezes on lock screen, calibration is so bad I can't write properly a SMS, and I have that great theme in ASIS (Androidian), etc. Maybe it happens only on my LG, but ASIS is my top rom so far.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
o i dont have such probs sdsl is the best used to be asis but now sdsd...
[GT540 Optimus General] revertm:
Wipe all, and then flash polishblood->then gapps->then new keyboard. That worked for me with 190mb partition.
[GT540 Optimus General] Cobalton:
I tried that. I will wait for some next release like beta8-9. I'm good with ASIS still. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
Hello XDA Members,

I want you to join me on a project in creating an theme for the Galaxy Player.

The Goal of this project should be:

- The compatibility to all Galaxy Players

- An consistent theme to all Galaxy Players, it should be modern and themed for everyone.

- It should be available to some launchers.

Everyone is free to join.

Everyone can take part.

At this time, i'm searching members for the project.

Post here and give your idea how it should look like.

Also if you are interested in creating pictures for the theme or coding the theme you also can post here.

First of all we need a name.

Post your Ideas.

Mike "Tecardo" Leitner
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Since Samsung hasn't interest in update of our Galaxy Player... We must create a ICS Theme or Launcher very similar to original... That's my opinion cuz i really like the appearance of ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
this was also an idea of me,

The Holo Theme is simple, modern and nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
Meh I don't like the ICS theme that much. There is already a theme for that.

I wanted a MIUI theme, becuase no one has achieved to port MIUI launcher to the Player yet (if I'm correct). Something elegant is nice in my opinion.

But I have no knowledge of coding, sorry :(.

I do like this project though!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] sukso96100:
How about change GlassLock screen to TapLock?

I think Tap lock is looks good
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rasa11:
I'm intrigued....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] sukso96100:
http://developer.android.com/design/index.html

I think this website will be helpful for us when we make

ICS theme maybe(?). We can see many detailes about ICS looks(?) in this website
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
Yes, i know about this site.

It is important, that we make something, that everyone of us would accept.

That means also some drawbacks for some :)

A list of your ideas:

An ICS Style

An MIUI Style and TapLock instead of GlassLock.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Instead of creating a ICS theme from scratch, we can try porting Vertumus' ICS Domination Theme if he allows us to. It will be easier than building from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tecardo:
Yes, right.. I will try this this week.

I'm busy with ics and miui.

Using YP-G1
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
Hi Guys,

Since the New ICS Beta is here and has almost everything functional..

So Guys .. If you know any TWEAKS Please Share....:)

Let me start with one.. Try this...

1) Add the following in build.prop using Root Explorer and Reboot.. You will see scrolling and touch responsiveness and UI will be significantly improved..

Performance Tweaks

# Increase overall touch responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1

2) Keep window animations to .5x and you will have a smoother lagless UI experience

3) Install Nova Launcher from Market (we all know that)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 8f86TcLjmt:
Max value is 20000 (look in sys/class/leds/color/max_current for used values). So your values are 10000/20000/20000.

But I´m not sure about battery drain at max.

Actually I use R/G/B = 4000/10000/10000 - that´s bright enough for me.

Is there a tweak to force that the SE Launcher will stay in RAM whatever happens?(There's a similar setting in CM7)

I hate redraws of the homescreen...

Thanks for the other tweaks! Runs much smoother now!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Can't resist the tweak from jjdoctor and flashed it right away.. :) Well i think the lag comes down to the Launcher being used. the scrolling is smoother this time, but i'm unsure if that is caused by the tweak since it's smoother from the get go.. :/ but anyway thanks jjdoctor for the tweaks, you poisoned me to use ICS again ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
you mean the AOSP ROM?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No, i mean the one from Sony. :) Well, i think i'll mod the services.jar to be able to apply Supercharger in ICS.. I'll post it here too if it can be achieved.. Stay Tuned ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] szl.kiev:
the lag is happened in every fresh flash, because of the media server crazily search & re-index our media in sdcard, the bigger the sdcard the longer it takes, for my 8GB class 10 sdcard (only few media files inside) takes around 20 minutes to finish.

after it finished, everything getting smother, that what I get by watching cpu usage overlay screen

yes there is,

fyi, CM's "Lock Home In Memory" actually still have a chance to get redrawn.

but if you want your home launcher 100% locked in memory you need to edit service.jar

attachment is edited SE ICS Beta's service.jar

flash using cwm

[edit]oops... sorry didn't see hansip87 going to make it too,

then it's your job gan hansip87 to make supercharge script patch ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Ou you already made that :D no matter, just using your mod then :p thanks!

Thx again szl...great job. Keep doing good think for our rom..together we can be better :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Found some tweak, don't know if it will works, trying myself now. :) Original article: http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/ics-performance-tweaks.369959/

Add this to build.prop:

debug.qctwa.statusbar=1
debug.qctwa.preservebuf=1
com.qc.hardware=true

ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

ro.max.fling_velocity=4000

debug.enabletr=true

UPDATE: So far it makes the windows and transition performance at 1x quite smooth :D

and this (better backup yours first, don't think the following is safe to be used :/)

Get rid of CPU rendering:

Navigate to /system/lib/egl/

Open the file named "egl.cfg"

Delete the first line. It should say "0 0 android" or something similar

Go back into the egl folder and delete libGLES_android.so

What this does is remove the entire soft-rendering pathway from the OS.

not dead black screen problem just battery issue usually in battery usage android os shows normally like this(image)

but sometimes it is 60 to 70 % and that battery drain too fast

is it a firmware issue ? or hardware ? my phone is 2 week old

this thing happen to me 2 time only

it happen to my phone at night on standby mode

and what all other aps( in the image) which is showing in battery usage it is all close(from task manager) but it shows it is using battery.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
The battery usage being shown is the overall battery juice used by the apps listed since the phone is switched on.

Its basically shows the history of your battery usage and which app/system components have used how much % of your battery. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
There's nothing wrong in that, its not a problem as you are assuming it to be and the apps shown there are not necessarily open.

Just enjoy the phone bro. Anyways u wont get more than 1~1.5 days ona a single charge except idealized conditions
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mhca:
I received my Galaxy this Thursday and didn't restart it at all until it drained itself yesterday in 14 hours.

After charing my phone to 100% and using it very very little during the day, it had drained itself completely after 14 hours. See the attached screen shots.

Android OS used 75% of my battery. It was completely useless.

Today after charging to 100% during the night it has been running fine. Currently at 68% after 9 hours with average use.

I've seen another thread about Android OS draining battery for SGS2, but I'm not sure there is a conclusion as to what processes causes it.

I suggest a restart if the battery starts draining too fast.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
It's always like that with new smartphones. When I bought mine, battery time was just horrible - not even one day of ordinary usage. After few charging cycles (let's say after approx. 2 weeks) it got much much better. Now 2 days is not a problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Rejwen:
Dont know how its works on custom roms/kernels but on stock 2.3.4 battery going down much faster with sd card on. If I put off sd card, battery life is extended. How no idea why.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DeceptiPrime:
lol i don't have any sd card yet but this problem occurs sometimes only

restarting works sometimes not every time:( i checked it

now what i found battery backup and drainage is ok in android phones wait for ICS 4.0.3(officially) lets see if they fix that battery bug. this thing should be solved in galaxy R.:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Dude did you turn off Background auto sync ?

Your display usage is 2%, so it seems your phone was not used much by you. I feel you have turned on too many system background apps or something like that.

Do check that & update here if it solves the problem. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DeceptiPrime:
ya i close every application and clear ram eachtime before pressing the power button for stand by later i'll post image if this problem come again
