[HTC One X] rajitsingh:
Could someone please describe what the screen flicker means?

I don't have any of the hardware issues but I do have one problem. On very low brightness when I scroll in apps (like when reading an article in pulse) i get a very faint change in the brightness of the screen. It's like it goes a litter dimmer and then gets bright again. Happens everytime I scroll at low brightness. Is this the screen flicker people talk about?

I also get a few jagged lines on the screen, but that happens *VERY* rarely. I don't even know a way of reproducing them.

Would you say I have a faulty set? Or is mine fine and these issues should be fixed by an update. I'm still on 1.26. 1.28 hasn't yet rolled out in India.

I had posted this in another thread but thought it would would also help others if there was a separate thread for this.

Thanks. :-)
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
The flicker is a slight effect seen mostly when the screen is showing a mid-grey colour. Like a shimmering.

I have a feeling it's related to the 58Hz refresh rate (it should really be 60Hz!). Not sure if it's hardware or software, but some users say they don't have it - though they may just not be seeing it.

Back when most people had CRT monitors, the majority of people I knew were happy with 60-75Hz screen refresh rate and saw no flicker. I had to have at least 80Hz or higher (preferably 85) otherwise the flicker was evident and became very annoying.

The flicker I see on my One X does feel like it's between 50 and 60Hz, but I have no scientific way to measure it.

Perhaps this flicker issue is difficult to gauge because some people are actually incapable of seeing it?

Don't watch this video if you suffer from epilepsy.

But go on a grey background, and you'll see a similar effect.

Hi,

just creating a wikipage for the Xoom tablet.

Is it ok to copy the posts to the wiki?

Do I need to backlink them?

Like everybody else I read stuff on the net and install apps all the time to try them out and eventually wind up with a lot of junk on my phone. What I'm looking for is an app which is able to list all apps I have installed and tell me when the last they were actually used is. The goal being that I use the list to help decide what to remove when cleaning up my phone once in a while.

I searched the market and xda and have found nothing like this so far. Does someone know if this exists?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
ICS Bluetooth on i777 SGS2 is acting up on my stock Subaru handsfree radio.

This may be because the Subaru radio is flakey, I don't know. The bluetooth connection is stable and reliable with GB roms and a Nokia Symbian phone.

My observations are based on 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1 4.0.3 roms from Shoman94, and 4.04 AOKP from task650. Kernel and Modem changes seem to make no difference on this issue.

The biggest issue for me is that the bluetooth connection to the car stereo will drop when the "deep sleep" mode is entered. The connection starts again if the phone is awakened.

The connection will stay connected if bluetooth is active with music or other operations.

The connection will drop during a long phone call or the phone is not being used.

I have read of problems with other ICS devices having issues during "deep sleep",

SOD's and reboots mostly.

Others have tried to prevent these issues, by using SetCPU profiles with freq. changes, limited success.

One App that has helped is SoftLocker. Designed for Tablets with deep sleep issues, it allows me to block deep sleep. Blocking deep sleep allows my phone to stay connected to the car stereo via bluetooth for handsfree operation. It will chew up the battery like this, but I can charge in the car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gboybama:
Yep. Happens to me too. ICS ShoStock 1.3 and 2.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nakedninja42:

I don't really pay much attention to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Both my pioneer head unit, stereo headphones, headset, and Nissan factory system have no disconnects when in deep sleep. Both my sgs2's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] audiophan:
This sounds like the same issue reported in another thread here a few months back. I had the same problem as the OP of that thread, where the BT would disconnect after a few minutes (10 maybe) of no phone activity other then playing a song. I used a dedicated BT speaker which would function correctly when paired with a PC, but auto disconnect from the phone. Although everyone here seems to be dismissive, it is an issue that other users have encountered as well. I'm using UnNamed 1.3x and haven't found a solution (but have reduced my dependence on BT).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gboybama:
Yeah. This is real.

I started getting the issue once I switched from GB to ICS ShoStock2.

The car is an Audi A6 2007. If I connect the car speaker to the phone via Bluetooth and my conversation lasts for more than five minutes or so, the Bluetooth connection is severed.

It doesn't end the call, so I can pick the phone up, turn on the screen and the Bluetooth reestablishes connection. But the conversation is interrupted.

Again, this didn't happen before and is easy to reproduce.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
This problem is likely in the bluez stack. From GB to ICS there were quite a few changes. One of them has just left behind some of our hardware. Since most people don't have trouble, this probably won't get fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
One more observation,

When charging in the car, the Bluetooth stays connected. This seems to be because deep sleep does not occur while connected to the charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] audiophan:
Do you keep your BT on constantly? A thought that just occcured would be to use Tasker to switch the CPU profile to one without sleep when BT on and revert back on BT off. That on charge find could be pretty useful as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
Thanks, I do run bluetooth continuously and Tasker may provide a way to workaround this. I'll update if I figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dommeren:
I have the exact same issue in my Audi A8 and A6.. will try Tasker and the charge-trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
I am still using SoftLocker to disable deep sleep, or using the charge cable in the car.

The trick with Tasker is to figure out a way to lock out deep sleep.

Here is what I'm testing today,

To use Tasker, the plugin for Tasker, Secure Settings, and the Helper app.

After installing Tasker and Secure Settings apps, run Secure Settings. On the "Settings" tab, under "Helper", tap the option to install Helper. This will install Helper, and require su permissions.

In Tasker, I added a profile for BT connect to car, with a Secure Settings/Helper task for CPU awake only, Manual ON.

Next, added another profile to Tasker, BT connect, checked Invert (Should activate on BT disconnect from car), added Secure Settings/Helper task for CPU wake only, Manual OFF.

I'll post later if this works as I intend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
The method above using Tasker works. My phone is not entering deep sleep while connected via BT to my car stereo handsfree system. When the BT disconnects, my phone is entering deep sleep.

Tasker has a trial version if you download it directly from the developers website. This may also be purchased directly from him, and may save a little over the Market version.

I have had problems with Bluetooth disconnect issues as well in my 11 focus with sync...worked great on stock but not so well on several gb and is roms. Will try tweaking some sleep settings on Phone Bricker tonight and post back.

Update...

I was testing BT on the way home on Phone Bricker 2.5 and left it on the charger and it streamed audio all the way home (about an hour). Unplugged when I got home. Turned off the car, and then back on...reconnected via the phone and all was well. Will see what time brings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Guellan01:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dommeren:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shibblet:
Other issues included

I have a Sony BT Stereo in my vehicle. I will have my SGH-i777 on, using Google Maps, and it will just reboot or freeze up. The stereo doesn't have any problems at all.

It's a bit more than "deep sleep". Is there a new ICS Kernel that has these problems worked out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
the last post in here was from two months ago. And to answer your other question-go look for yourself. There are several ics kernel threads in the development section. You could also search through those threads for just your issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
He probably posted here because I answered a post in another thread with this one as a reference.

There are incompatibilities with some bluetooth car stereo equipment and ICS. These continue and no real solution has been found.

The disconnect issues can be avoided by using the techniques mentioned in earlier posts in this thread. The rebooting seems to be a different issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lambition:
Ended up here following Shibblet's post and daverup's link.

I'm having same problem Shibblet has.

I found many people are having same problem (freeze and reboot) on i9100 with ICS.

According to posts I found, it has something to do with Samsung's android 4.0.3.

Works ok with 4.0.4. Only problem is there is no 4.0.4 with stock UI. (At least to my knowledge)

I hope someone is able to find exact cause of problem, and find real solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
The BT disconnect problems are still there on AOKP, which is 4.0.4.

Maybe there is something else in the Samsung 4.0,3 roms which is causing the reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shibblet:
Seems as if there is no solution for this problem. I was hoping it was just a kernel issue, but apparently it has more to do with the OS in general.

On another note: I do look for myself. I only come to the forums after I have expended hours of searching and just can't take it anymore. It can be infuriating when you find hundreds and hundreds of threads talking about similar issues with no flippin' solution.

"Well, it's 2am now, still can't find anything by searching, I have to work at 9am tomorrow, and I am no closer to having my phone fixed than I was at noon." - Tell me you've never done that before. :P

And regardless, isn't that the point of the forums? To ask questions and be assisted by others who know the answers? Seems like it would save people a lot of time if they just posted questions to begin with, huh?

No issues w/ Kenwood DNX6140 and i777 SHOStock v3.1.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
The Kenwood stuff is definitely one of the "good" BT implementations.

I really don't think the BT stack is going to be fixed, so workarounds for those with issues may be the only way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GigDroid:
Also, for what it's worth, just from personal experience, the Sammy stock based roms like sho seem to handle BT interaction better overall. This has been true on stock 2006 g35, the Kenwood after market units, and a stock 2006 acura tl.

New Kernel

Dropping a new kernel in seemed to do the trick for the Bluetooth on Serendipity 9.4. However, the kernel I am using will not allow me to connect to a PC with MPT.

The kernel that I am using is this one: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2ATT/kernels/SiyahICS/Siyah-v3.4.2-mswap-I777.zip

Does anyone know a more stable, better operational kernel out there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Entropy512 has recently added a new patch to the kernel source that makes a pretty big difference in deep sleep. It is included in the latest Siyah kernel.

You can find it here for mic_swap or here for no_mic_swap

And yes...I do realize the version number is lower than the version number of the ktoonsez release that you linked....the kernels I linked are directly from Gokhanmoral source code. ktoonsez has made changes & additions to the Siyah codebase, but he has not yet updated to this latest version.

Changelog:

pegasusq fixes and tweaks

added cfs tweaks settings to ExTweaks (samsung default, linux kernel default and thunderbolt script defaults)

added Tungstwenty’s implementation that let’s us see deleted wakelock details (optional in ExTweaks)

cherry-picked some wifi changes/fixes from cm9 repo

added mdnie negative effect toggle to ExTweaks (by Tungstwenty)

and some other tiny changes…

Linux 3.0.36

update (3.3.3 -> 3.3.3b) removed some potentially unsafe changes which might be the reason of some users having problems with the latest release.

update(3.3.3b -> 3.3.3c) added ntt device gps support back.

removed exfat related mess.

added Entropy512′s patch to prevent multicast packets

added headphone amplification setting to extweaks (named it soundgasm).

fixed data statistics and some other changes in config and sources…

update(3.3.3c -> 3.3.3d) main wakelock fix by tungstwenty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shibblet:
Tried that Kernel. I still get intermittent Bluetooth crashes, and the phone randomly "wakes up" and illuminates the lock screen. I watched this happen about 12 times in a row before I finally re-loaded an older kernel.

This is frustrating... I just want the phone to work. Why do upgrades always cause issues?

I have tried to follow your instructions, but don't know enough about Tasker, SS, or Helper to complete the setup. I have installed the three apps.

Can you provide more detailed, step-by-step instructions, specifically from "In Tasker, I added a profile..." forward?

Many thanks!

I'm running Serendipity 9.4 as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
Thanks AJ,

The problem is not resolved on my Subaru system handfree BT connection. I am running this kernel, and the BT still disconnects after a few minutes of deep sleep. I really suspect the problem for some of us with Subaru and Audi audio systems is that the bluez stack has been made partially incompatible. Since it only affects a very few devices, probably nothing will be done about this.

I am happy with the Tasker/Secure settings work around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:
Shibblet's fix didn't work for me

Just flashed the kernel suggested by Shibblet, but I still can't use voice commands from my Blueant Q2 when my SG2's screen is off.

I then flashed the kernel recommended by AJPatrick and the problem is solved on my phone!

Many thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverup:
Well, I'll try a little more explanation.

This is my first use of Tasker, you just have to read up on it a bit.

In Secure settings you need to add two Profiles which call two different Tasks.

My first one is called BT_wake, but the name is not important.

Under that profile you setup Tasker to recognise BT connected, and a Task (Mine is named "wakeup") to call the secure settings helper to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep. (CPU awake only, Manual ON) When selecting the task, secure settings is under Plugins.

My second profile is called BT_disc_sleep and again the name is not important. You need Tasker to recognise the BT disconnected event, and perform a different Task.

Under the profile you setup Tasker to invert the previous helper command to prevent deep sleep mode. To invert is the same as reverse. You need a similar setup to the first Task with the "invert" selected.

I'm really not good at Step by Step.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:
As my last post indicated, the new kernel seems to be working. Thanks for the info though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shibblet:
I got sick of the crashing and things, so I went back to the stock firmware and updated it with Samsung Kies. So, I am running pure-stock Kernel 3.0.15-i777UCLE5-CL652575 se.infra@SEP-74 #3.

Where do I get the plugins?

Hi! Maybe this isn't the brightest question but I can find the Tasker and Secure Settings Apps on Google Play but where do I get the Helper App? I don't see it when I search for it. Thank you in advance!

I already found this thread to be extremely enlightening. I have a 2007 Audi A6 in Belgium and a Galaxy SII i9100 (European model) and I never had any problems with the original OS (GB) but as soon as I upgraded to ICS (most recently 4.04) I had the problem of bluetooth disconnecting when the phone appears to be sleeping. If I wake the phone it reconnects but will disconnect again after some time, even during a call. I had Audi upgrade my bluetooth. I've done factory resets. I called Samsung and they told me to take the phone to a service center and ask for a "refresh" of the phone. They said don't ask for a reset or an upgrade but tell them very specifically you want a "refresh" and they'll know what to do. So I brought the phone into the shop they recommended in Brussels and spoke with the technician. He had no idea what they meant by a "refresh." So I hit the forums and came accross this one. Thanks to all of you who have posted. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can make this work and not totally mess up my phone. What I don't understand is why Samsung doesn't give you software with the phone to disable sleep mode when connected via bluetooth. They should spend some time searching forums for problems with their products.

Had about 2% power, had it on charge from the mains (via a blackberry charger) and it suddenly died, now whenever I connect it to the mains or USB port I just get a flashing orange light and can't turn it on - will it eventually turn solid orange? A lot of threads on this for other HTC phones say to remove and reinsert the battery, obviously this isn't an option for the One X so I'm a little worried...
[HTC One X] wolfraim:
i see flashing orange light when i use blackberry charger or any usb wire of a blackberry... when i use a SAMSUNG CHARGER or any other USB CHARGER i got my solid orange light :)
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
yeah, blackberry chargers tend to be lower current, so are no good if they battery is real dead.

use a proper htc charger and it should come back and go solid.
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
I think it will be ok if you just leave it charging. It sounds like it's protecting the battery from damage until it has a sufficient charge.

Although, on some laptops it is a sign of a dead battery... so I would say give it 30 to 60 mins connected to the charger and see if it fixes itself.
[HTC One X] crimsonnight:
Cheers for your time guys, after about an hour of charging via USB I was able to turn it back on (with 2% battery lol) - I'll make sure not to use a BB charger again, need to find an official one with a decent length lead for the office...
