HD looks better

HD screen def looks better! but for everyday use think amoled trumps it battery wise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuzzbag87:
People make a big deal over 720p screens while I would like it its not a big deal to me 480x800 super amoled+ looks fine, to me there's not much difference. my wife couldn't tell the difference between my gs2 and the nitro. she said mine looked better
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valentinrascu:
You can play hd on sgs2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowWaltz:
hmm personally i think that the AMOLED screen does a mighty fine job at being sharp and clear... personally i like how vibrant the colours are and the option to tone it down via Display/Mode.

I don't really see the point in 720p HD on cellphones... >.> I rather buy a tablet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA mark:
Till you reach that 300ppi, you can still see differences. For example, the eBuddy icon in my status bar on my HTC Desire looked sharper then the one nkw on my S II.

Desire: 800x480 over 3.7 inches

S II: the same 800x480, over a bigger 4.3 inches

I will not calculate the ppi, but obviosly I could see the difference between the 2. I think the S II has somewhere around 200-220 ppi, HTC Desire around 240-260.

Most of the Android phone's with 720p displays have above 300ppi, like the iPhone's retina display. At that point, you really can't see those pixels anymore. Anyway, the S II's screen is amazing .. i love it. But to be honest that HTC One X' display is better from what I have seen.

Best thing is to wait a month to see the what the S III's like and then decide. I always hate people that buy a phone and then cry a better one comes out after 2 months... wait till all options are revealed and then buy! That moment will be after the Galaxy S III
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twixter:
@XDA mark

Galaxy S2 ~217 ppi

HTC Desire ~252 ppi

Does anybody know if the Telnav app works on EL29 rom's? I have an EL29 based rom and I went to download the app and it said it wasn't compatible with my device. If it will work does anybody have link where I can download it? I believe it is a free app(at least the basic version is).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
what rom are you on? I have no problem downloading it from market. also did you change your dpi? you can try getting it from their website if you can't get it from market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It definitely works on strongsteve's ROM. I have used it several times
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Android300ZX:
I used it today on Stock and I'll never use it again. I was in Times Square and it told me to go in the wrong direction everyone on a one way.

Used Google Maps and was happy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
ya its done that to me until I realized I put it on pedestrian by accident. for op. just stick with google maps it kicks telenavs ass except when it comes to the freeways. it always tells me exit numbers instead of actual names.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I did change my dpi when I was testing different resolutions and I believe I forgot to change it back. I will try that in the morning. Rom is Blend 2.6.2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SolidusInflux:
Google maps + Nav is better than TeleNav in my opinion. Telenav brought me to a couple wrong places, google maps never steers me wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
I prefer IGO8. Love it. Google maps is awesome as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] |cyris|:
make sure you arnt trying to download the telenav for verizon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Thanks everybody for the input. It was because of the dpi setting. Thanks for the suggestions for alternate navigation apps.

hello readers i was just wondering why people are jumping to cm9(ics) and we don't have a fully working cm7(g bread)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duboi97:
This was actually cyanogenmods decision. They decided to skip cm7 for the snapdragon gs2's (basically ours) and just jump to CM9. Were just waiting for source and an ICS leak so we can get drivers to run it. CM7 is good enough as a DD if you really wanted to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] don728871:
............

i think thats bullshi, that they would do that so dumb y skip on it i dont think we are getting it ics till like august

my 2 cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Because I think they want to focus on the latest OS for our phones, then to work on an older one.

Also, rumors around the forums are that there might be ICS by the end of the month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Try not to think about it, youll just want a new phone more and more, or an old one, which gets Alphas while we get nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Use the search function next time. At least 20 of these threads. And Im sure we will all forget about cm7 when we get cm9.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kkg720:
Personally, i hate that they decided to skip cm7. I have so many apps so i hate the ics app drawer, i like the widgets, but those can be downloaded, and there are just too many issues for me with ICS. I was really hoping for a stock GB rom instead of Dewizzed, which is kind-of laggy. Guess im stuck with it until after cm9 and probably for another few months while someone else tries to port cm7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] don728871:
Tbh I dont care how the ****ing thing looks you can always change that ,but I want a good working cm7 like 50% lighter mb wize then most roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
It's understandable you all want CM7, but there's no point in wasting time when they SHOULD be working on an ICS based AOSP ROM instead (CM9). It doesn't make sense from their perspective to work on an obsolete OS for a brand new phone. They'd much rather focus on CM9 for a variety of phones in the meantime of waiting for an ICS release/leak of our S2.

I too am a fan of CM7, as it was my daily driver for my Vibrant...but it doesn't make sense to work on an older version of Android on a new phone when old phones are getting the newest OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] opiate46:
Have you tried Juggernaut 5.0? I've been running the CM7 alpha since I got this phone and randomly decided to make the switch the other day. I pretty much like everything about it better. Colors look better, no lag - even feels a bit smoother IMO. You might lose a bit of the customization, but there are so many apps out there these days that will give you any of those things it doesn't matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AaronPauley:
As everyone's stated, I think it was all about timing. Our phone, and the skyrocket were released really late in the GB game. ICS will come before too long. I remember the wait for GB years ago, now it's the same thing all over again! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Hey,

I flashed franco a couple of days ago, but it creates a weird blue tint on the screen. The solution seems to be either buy his app to adjust it, or use some command (which he doesn't explain it very well..).

So I tried this in a terminal but it didn't work:

echo "0 0 0" /sys/class/misc/colorcontrol/v1_offsets

Any ideas? Thanks.

Note: I did ask in the kernel's thread but didn't get a response, plus it moves too fast to keep up with it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
I gotta an EASY solution for you! FLASH A DIFFERENT KERNEL!!!!!! If you don't want to buy Franco's app, or you can't use terminal to change it yourself, then use a different kernel. Simple really. Not trying to be an ass, but come on bro. There are several other kernels out there. I didn't mind spending a couple bucks for Franco's app. Think of it as a donation for using his kernel which he spends his time on and offers for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I think there is an app in the market for this, now that a few kernels have the color multipliers. Sorry for the vague response.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
My pen is so far off I can hardly use it. I tried the LCD calibration pen test, but even that's hard to complete because I have to draw beside the boxes, and I am unable to draw near the bottom of the screen at all ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Did you change your LCD density? Maybe the unit went bad on you. Go to the ATT store and have them look at it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
Idk if this helps but one thing that helped me was when i read that the Spen is setup to work best at a 45 degree angle. I used to use it more at a 90 and the calibration was way off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcemtp1:
Try *#0*# && s pen test(: that's the best i got! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
I haven't done anything with the density .. and I've done the pen test several times. If anything, it makes it worse. I can hardly complete the pen test because my pen barely touches the boxes before it physically goes off the bottom of the screen.

it's off by about half a centimeter.. don't really notice until I'm trying to sketch in Sketchbook, which is basically impossible. Maybe I should try a wacom pen and see if that's any better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
I just used a straight edge to draw down the very center of the boxes in the pen test.. this is what I got. (and I've tried drawing to the edges several times to auto calibrate it, doesn't seem to help)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Earthdog:
I am going to Home depot today and get some aluminum Tape and try this.

Possible Fix Video for S-Pen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
That tape is pricy. Hope you can find a small roll. I wonder how the guy in the vid figured that out. Amazing. Hope it works for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcemtp1:
When i did ot i just drew in the center of the boxes until all of them are green(:

&&does the tape still fit in the s pen holder thingy on the phone?

(excuse my poor vocabulary>.<)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Main Frame:
I think you're missing my point. If I draw in the center of the boxes, the line appears outside the boxes, and they do not turn green. I can draw to the side of the boxes where the line appears in the boxes and they turn green, but this does nothing to help my issue. There is still about a half centimeter difference between where I place the tip of the pen on the screen and where the line appears.

I would like the line on the screen appear directly underneath the tip of the pen, not off to the side.

Also, from that video I don't see anything about the tape addressing my issue. As far as I can tell it just reduces the sensitivity and prevents the pen from working at extreme angles. My issue is with the calibration of the pen..

It cost me $7 for a roll at HD. I'll let you know after I finish the honey do list for today.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutips:
Hello everyone,

First, I would like to thanks everyone who can contribute or help out with this issue that I've been dealing with all day (literally spending the past 7 hours on forums browsing and searching - wish I can say that this is an overstatement)...but in the end, I still have yet to find a solution so now I turn to you guy....and if not obvious already, I'm a super noob at all this as well as any attempt to use the adb/sdk program

Here's the problem: (I'll try to make it as simple and put the most relevant info on here)

I have a Inspire 4g/Desire HD rooted with S-off that was working fine w/ CM7 until last night...phone just started to act up and restarting by itself and ended up being stuck on the endless blue loop CM7 flashscreen

due to my carelessness and having a old back up, I was just decided to format everything format data/cache, re-flashed the cm7 rom and then recover with the old back up (all done in recovery)

however...here's where the problem starts: (i'm guessing it's likely d/t my bad back-up)

on restart, I am "stuck" at the white/htc screen - I have to hard reset (battery out) everytime

HBOOT is still functional - so I know i haven't bricked my phone yet...so...i tried going back to recovery, but this time i passes the white/htc screen, but briefly goes into the green circle with a down arrow and then permanently to the red caution triangle with the exclamation mark....so I was thinking the recovery must of crapped out on me....(factory reset via hboot was non-functional either, similar result: green circle --> resets to htc/white screen)

Thus, I tried doing an "Clean" recovery using STOCK ATT roms renamed to PD98IMG.ZIP on my SD card (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191959&highlight=Stock+Rom)...however, it always fails to unzip the system portion (tried with various other "clean stock" roms also, same unzipping problem) - this led me to do some more forum hunting in which that I might have a faulty CWM

So it led me to the discovery of the Android Flasher utility application where I have attempted to flash a new CWM to the phone - however, android flasher doesn't "detect" my device - so I followed the instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737728 to have my phone recognized by my computer...i attempted to flash CWM again onto the phone via android flasher...but no luck, I'm still getting a "device not plugged in or driver not installed" message...

I am now exhausted and out of ideas...(not to mention angry/mad at myself)

Thanks again for all your helps/comments, I really appreciates it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V3r0x:
Hi folks,

i'm and european (german) with an prepaid, simlock-free net-free SG2 device.

At the moment i am in New York City. First - everything was alright. Only GPS Signal couldn't be found, i downloaded much stuff - cleared A-GPS - nothing worked for me. So i tried to flash another Kernel.

Problem - i'm on a Mac. I did it with Heimdall and this instruction: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-on-mac-or-linux-sgh-i777/

After that (worked) - GPS also worked - but my Home-Button now is like "dead". It doesn't react. No Hardware issue. It must be the kernel i flashed to it. I tried to flash another kernel with the same command :

but the second time flashing a kernel didn't work for me.

the boot screen now has a yellow sign with an "!" in it.

So i chose a "Hard reset" in the Privacy Settings of Android 2.3.4.

Now my Home-Button doesn't work and i can't step through the initial android setup process .... because my Home-Button doesn't work.

How do i fix this? Please help me! I'm on vacation and i need the GPS later for Florida trip with car.

Tell me how i can read out Kernel / Firmware / Baseband without running a system (w/o home button usage) or how to get the original kernel working again.

i need you guys !:(:(:(

I use Mac OS X Lion.

when i now want to flash a kernel this error appears in terminal running heimdall

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honchay:
Hi mate, try this...

Turn OFF your phone, remove the battery, leave it for about 3 mins, place the batt again, dont turn ON...! try if you can enter into the Recovery Mode of the S2 by holding the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons of your Galaxy until the Samsung logo comes up.

After that you can try to do a WIPE of the "Cache" and "Dalvik Cache", not Data or you gonna lose anything, and restart..

Now with my german SIM card from blau.de (e-plus) doesn't get the american cell-phone network connection.

But all Buttons are working again.

Should i flash the "modem" file from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100EPLK1" now with heimdall?

Or which basis band protocol/ version is the right one for a working european AND northamerican network.

Please give me some additional information how to flash it and what file / basis band.

so glad now ...... at least i can listen to music or surf on starbucks wifi for orientation in new york ...... i was sooo lost the last days.

What is the right kernel and or modem for northern america with an SGII from europe germany with no sim & net lock. (prepaid phone)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Kernel won't matter for signal quality.

I'm in Oregon, with an I9100, on AT&T. My device currently has XXKI3 firmware, which has XXKI3 modem, and everything works perfectly.

That said, I believe the XXKI4 modem should work as well. Looks like you have the XXKI4 modem, based on post what you have in post 11. But you also say you are trying with a German provider SIM card? Have you tried with an AT&T SIM card?

EDIT to add: Getting a pre-paid SIM from AT&T may end up being cheaper in the long run for you than whatever roaming agreement E-plus has with AT&T anyways. Just food for thought.

EDIT 2: you can always try reflashing XXKI4 modem, or if you want to try it, flash the XXKI3 modem. Modem thread here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V3r0x:
well i know i am roaming. I leave internet shut off. But i want to telephone in Problem situations when i loose my little brother etc.

I have DarkyOTA and i can flash every Firmware (Modem?! -same?!) which is displayed there.

XXKI4 doesn't work either ...... (flashed from DarkyOTA ... root ok ...flash ok ... SU ok ....)

well that SIM Card worked that days until i messed up my phone flashing
