[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Hello,

I got my Lumia 800, and it's charging at the moment. But when I bought the phone from Amazon through FGS Trading, the box it came with has a sticker on it in German. It says:

"Neuwertig, gebrauchtes

Ihre Qualitätskontrolle 35"

Gebrauchtes means used...so does it mean I bought a new phone, but was given a used one?
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
Translated: As good as new, used their quality control 35
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Does that mean the phone isn't actually new? Seller said it was new...
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
It means mint condition too, kind of weird, but it states it's new yeah, but used to check some sort of quality control, maybe they opened it up to check.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Ah that's interesting to hear...Pesky Germans : )

But why is Gebrauchtes also printed on the label? :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 800] -obiwan-:
For me this sounds like it's not new. Looks more like a refurbished one that has gone through quality control to assure it's like new.

Maybe Nokia support would be able to tell using the phones IMEI?
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
That's what I'm thinking. I contacted the seller and we're going to sort this out.

At this point, it doesnt even matter right now because the phone won't turn on anyway :p Spent eight hours yesterday doing every trick/button combination possible.

I'll take it to the Microsoft store to see if they can do something.
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
Try a Nokia store, or you can arrange a repair if your phone has a warranty (which it should have). Check Nokia care online. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Unfortunately, the U.S. doesn't have Nokia stores. I went to the Microsoft store and they weren't able to do anything.

I've contacted both Nokia and the Amazon seller. We'll have to see how this works out. I waited all of my spring break for a phone that won't turn on!

At least I'm still very satisfied with how well it's built. It's like an Alfa Romeo. Won't work, but take one look at it and all the negatives will be forgotten. :D

Meanwhile, I'll live with my HD2.
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/troubleshooting/warranty?c=1

Here's the link to check regarding the warranty and repair services, they should have the phone or in your case a replacement back to you in around a week, as mine is coming to me on Monday. An American who knows the beauty of an Alfa, sweet. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
If you bought it on Amazon, just return.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Of course, I'm waiting for Alfa to make its return to the U.S.

I tried doing a search, and this popped up:

"Device was not designed for the US market:

We do not have the capability to repair devices that were not designed for the US market. Please check the warranty information that was included with your device and/or please contact your point of purchase. If you purchased the device in the US and you determine that your device came with a US warranty, please contact Nokia Customer Care at 1-888-665-4228 for information. Please include a copy of your proof of purchase that confirms the device was purchased in the United States and a copy of the in box US warranty documentation when you send your device in for repair."

It makes sense, since my particular unit was imported from T-mobile in Germany by the seller. Maybe I should've shelled out the extra $50 for the Amazon-certified international one.

I think this might be my only solution at this point.
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
Ouch! I should've known that, it's not out in the US yet, it's a European device, yup, sorry, that's the way to go. Hope it goes well. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Thanks :)

The Lumia 800 is sold in the U.S. at Microsoft Stores, but it only comes in a bundle with speakers and headphones for $800 (about £500). Amazon sells the international unlocked version for $550. As far as I know, they're the same version, except Microsoft won't sell the phone separately.

Results for Siyah / stock kernels

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For all custom kernels, I was running on ICS XXLPQ ROM (Modem: XXLPQ).

For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

For Siyah, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

I just flashed SiyahKernel v3.0beta6 and added its results - only mixed usage battery test is missing.

USB OTG problem with Siyah-v3.0b6

Hello,

I have posted this message in another thread related to Siyah kernels, but I think it is better suited here.

First I should say I am very happy with Gokhanmoral's outstanding work. Thanks a lot!!

I just flashed yesterday Siyah-v3.0b6-CWM kernel + CM9 ROM (update-cm-9-20120322-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip). I noticed that USB HID devices (like mouse, keyboard or other custom USB devices) are not working anymore. They are not listed when I run the terminal command "lsusb", so I believe they are not recognized.

This was a known issue caused when Samsung introduced whitelists for the USB OTG support.

I was using Siyah-v2.5.2-CWM kernel + Android 2.3.5 and the USB devices were recognized and working correctly. I think the compilation modifications for USB OTG were not included in the last release. I have not been able to post in the developers area this issue. Can someone post this message so that Gokhanmoral can received this feedback?

regards,

Saul
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
I am not a big fan of too much Kernel tweaks, neither benchmarking. Further, I do think settings are most of the time device related, and it can leave to misfunction when adapting someone else settings.

But as many users are asking, I will just throw here my settings. Nothing spectacular, as I prefer going slowly, step by step.

I don't play game neither watch video, just call, textmessage, google read, browse internet and tapatalk.

Only use Extweaks.

CPU : second core loads above 55% and disbaled below 40%. I think I can further about using less the 2nd core.

Min Freq below second core is not turned on : 100000 KHZ

GPU Freq step : 160,267,267

GPU Voltage levels : 900,1000,1000 mV

Screen : ToucheMove sensitivity : 2 pixel. One of the best tweak according to me

CPU Govenor/scheduler : Lulzactive with cfq.

Everything else is by default

EDIT : more precise settings

CPU : second core loads above 65% and disbaled below 40%.

want to get a higher hot plug sampling interval than the 100 jiffies default, but the app can't save higher numbers. Don't know why.

Min Freq below second core is not turned on : 70000 KHZ

CPU Smooth Scaling Settings are all to 2 (default). It is only for ON DEMAND and CONSERVATIVE governors.

GPU Freq step : 160,200,267

GPU Voltage levels : 900,1000,1000 mV

GPU Thresholds : 85%,70%,85%,65% (Can't understand too much, so leave default)

Screen : ToucheMove sensitivity : 2 pixel. One of the best tweak according to me

CPU Govenor/scheduler : Lulzactive with cfq.

MISC : disabled Android Logger (don't need any log file) and Auto-root : my device is already rooted, so redondant.

keep up the good job dude!
[Galaxy S II General] rovo89:
Beta 7 was just released! :) Flashed it without any issues. Obviously, there were some fixes related to USB, because with Beta 6 (and Stock ROM), adb did not list my device nor did MTP work. Now both things are working fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Ap0calipsis:
I have been with the Kernel Siyah long time for my S2 is the best.

I have a small problem is that everytime I connect the phone to the PC the melodies are unconfigured default to its original state, would not be bad fix in future versions. Although not a fault record, if that is annoying ...

Sorry for my English, I use google translator
[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
your english is fine. If you are talking about songs then maybe try either sorting them in a folder or playlists. Not sure what could be the problem as the kernel would not mess with anything regarding melodies or whatever you are talking about my friend.

@All first post now has been updated with a link to GM's personal blog site were you can find changelogs for the latest betas and download links to them

Everything is specific to my phone, my "normal" usage and my home location. Most values are exact results, but some are rounded. I usually have wifi, synch (three email accounts, calendar and news), Google Talk and Skype on.

For all custom kernels, I was running on ICS XWLP3 „Frankenstein“ ROM (Modem: XXLPR).

For stock kernels, I was running on the corresponding stock ROM.

Always using the Samsung's standard / stock 1650mAh battery.

For Siyah, as it has many, many configurable settings, I have changed nothing - just default settings.

I changed my base ROM to XWLP3 and re-tested SiyahKernel v3.0beta5.

Here are my current results:

Benchmarks

Battery stats

SiyahKernel v3.0beta5 performs a little better on XWLP3 ROM than on XXLPQ on my phone.

New ICS stock kernels seem to be kind of "battery optimized" compared to the older GB kernels.

So, it is harder to get better battery life for custom kernels - at least without UC/UV/etc..

Will re-test SiyahKernel v3.0beta6 on XWLP3 and post my results as soon as my tests are finished.

I am running and I777 (on an I777) version of AOKP and when I flash Siyah Kernel v3.0.1 the data usage monitoring stops functioning properly. It works fine with the CM9 kernel that is built into the ROM.

Has anyone experienced this issue with Siyah v3 on AOKP or other ROMs?

/sys/class/misc/

Hi guys,

I am on Hydrogen 18/04 and Siyah 3.1 RC6. My backlights are always on when screen is on and also BLN doesn't work anymore. I read on the Hydrogen thread that I need to change

/sys/class/misc/notification/notification_enabled change value to 1

/sys/class/misc/notification/notification_timeout change value to zero

but on my phone the notification folder doesn't exist. Otherwise I am very happy with my setup. Do you think I need to flash the newest Syiah? Or what could be the reason for the missing folder. Does it get created by the Rom or by the kernel?

Thanks for the help,

It's been 3 days since I flashed Siyah 3.1.2 and my battery life is still shorter than when I was with Gingerbread. In BetterBatteryStats, in the Process category it's full of Kworker. The bars are nearly red full.

In Setting => battery utilisation

the Android OS uses 41%

the screen 30% (on for 1:40)

for a total of 16 hours. I've got 40% battery left.

Deep sleep : 81%

In Badass Battery Monitor, the kernel is the app that drains most of the battery : 35%

Can someone help me please ? :(

SiyahKernel v3.2 is very stable and smooth with excellent battery savings during the night, but has very bad battery life in mixed usage on my phone with my "normal" usage.

Strange:

How is it possible that a kernel with such good battery life during the night can drain my battery during the day, so that the effective battery life in sum (mixed usage = night usage and day usage) can be that worse?

Could not find any culprit in BBS.

Will test SiyahKernel v3.2.1 and report my results as soon as my tests are finished.

Could you test Siyah v3.2b8?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes I can, but I don't want to go "back".

Maybe it would be a better idea to test this kernel yourself on your phone?!

And then you can flash the latest SiyahKernel and compare the results of both kernel versions with your settings, hardware, apps, usage, etc.

Best test IMO is real life experience.
