"BUMP"

I really like this rom! I have been using LC's until the BT problem, and wanted a temporarily substitute, but I think this is a keeper.

The only problem: there are several apps that I regularly use that I cannot download from Google Play (They don't show up when I search, and when I try to download them from ""My Apps" they are not compatible).

Is there a workaround?

Many thanks

Calendar?

Is there any trick to get the calendar show events from Exchange, Hotmail and other accounts? I can sync emails and contacts without issues.

- In Calendars to Display, I only see my Google account.

- In Calendar settings, I see all added accounts (Exchange, etc) and when I click on one, it says "No Calendars" (accept Google one). I have had no issues with any other ROM so far. For this one, I have only tried Xperia theme.

I tried these:

- Replace/reinstall Calendar.apk

- Calendar Sync

- Installed latest gapps

- Flashed ROM after full wipe

Nice ROM otherwise and great job done. Thanks.

Hi, is there a way for me to retrieve the unlock code from inside my atrix, I'm currently rooted, CWM recovery touch installed, running aura rom 1.2.2.2 and unlocked to any carrier.

I want to know, just in case i want to return to stock I want to be able to unlock the phone by code and use it with any carrier.

Thank you!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
As of right now that's not possible. Only way to unlock is to either pay for or ask your carrier for the unlock code.
[Galaxy S III General] lynkchiz:
Been a lurker here in xda-devs even before i got my s2 last july 2011, Am about to have my actual s3 in about 12 hours from now. It seems the Ink mark/blotches issue is getting out of hand and some individuals are even opting to have their unit replaced/serviced because of the said issue. So its about time I step up and DID my own investigation about this issue:

Test Setup:

Canon 60D DSLR

Canon 50mm 1.4 USM lens

Galaxy S2 (SAMOLED)

Iphone 4 (LED - Just for comparison)

so lets get to the point:

Was shot using:

Camera: Canon

Model: Canon EOS 60D

Filename: IMG_1213.JPG

ISO: 1250

Exposure: 10.0 sec

Aperture: 2.8

Focal Length: 50mm

Flash Used: No

so the dreaded ink marks/blotches on screen scandal? i dont think so

because in Normal Usage, you cant even see those blotches

comparison with Iphone 4:

additional note: I used my S2 in posting this because my s3 will be arriving in a few hours. reserving the first three reply threads just to confirm ( repeat this test with the s3)

Bottom Line: Stop complaining about it, you wont see it in normal useage. thats all.

Important discovery: using this long shutter method also uncovers screen burn of my 11 month old S2 (upper part of the screen where time is) :) a good discovery heheh :)

Test Setup:
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
at last someone who knows what he's saying and a proof at it...i remembered a dude here who loved to whine too much about screen displays, but when asked about proofs and stuff, kaput...brave one mate!
[Galaxy S III General] kulzboy:
I had a screen burn in and an ink mark on my Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and never really paid attention to it. I'm a phone owl who uses phone at night all the time. This problem doesn't really bother me. Yes, it's there but who cares
[Galaxy S III General] lynkchiz:
reserved

reserved for actual galaxy s3 test
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
and we can do something about it, thats the point...we can lower the brightness sets, use apps to fine tune our screen, use players that can decode well etc...no phone is perfect, but only the user can make it one...:D
[Galaxy S III General] fallenwout:
Is the S3 there yet?

Is the S3 there yet?

Is the S3 there yet?

;-)

Nice effect with the long exposure. Try it on black with the iphone?

I know it is called screen BURN IN, but the noticible view of the notification bar isn't necesarry a burn in. Plasma TVs have this as well, it isn't a burn in but rather a ghostly remain of the previous image that is slowly fading.

Try opening a black picture with white lines for 20min, then take the picture again, it might show the black lines instead of the notification bar.

You might, MAYBE, brake the myth about amoled burn in. How cool would that be :)
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
What app do i use to test it myself? and a great review mate thanks :D..
[Galaxy S III General] lynkchiz:
haha, getting me hyped up before i receive my s3 ayt? hehehe 10 hours to go bro, it is still in transit with the courier :)

anyways, that is the same BLACK Screen test i did with the S2, heheeh it turned out bright (white hehe)on the Iphone 4, hehehe shows the contrast advantage of the SAMOLED because it is really BLACK heheh

the screen burn-in in the S2 is the actual corpse of the dead blue subpixels on the samoled :(
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
BRAVO!!!!

Finally someone open a thread to shut up the whiners and not to join them.

My congrats to you sir.
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
If people find it irritating they will complain.
[Galaxy S III General] Doughnut:
I have a couple of ink marks on my unit, I could put my dslr to use and grab a shot but the truth is I cant be bothered to do so.

My point is the problem does exist on the S3, however as stated above you dont see it during normal use so I'ma keep my unit. :)
[Galaxy S III General] katamari201:
I've never seen those on my gs2. I have a 4.5 inch one with the dreaded streaks, and it shows up on EVERYTHING, even on max brightness. That is a bigger concern. Hope the pentile gs3 doesnt have it. They are like lines on an old vhs tape, you know when you have to change the tracking to try and remove.

There's no use trying to be judgmental about people's complaints. Half the posts in threads with the smallest issue (camera jingly noise, warm phone, not perfect white) will tell the OP to return the phone. I just assume everyone on here is an asshole, including you! :-p
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
cripes i love the attitude of people here...we have screen issues in the note threads and most of them uberly whine and complain and talk crap...but the ones who stuck it out are now reaping the benefits...honestly peeps...the problem is or may be there but it can be mended...lets wait for the actual s3 tests
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
The thing is that this problem exists since SGS1 days. Passing through the note, gnexus, etc. So you know that this problem is gonna be on the SGS3.

I have the ink marks too, i have a horizontal line about 0.5 CM long on the upperside of the screen.

In normal situation you can't see it, to see it you have to be looking right to that line in darkness watching a black image. I do that about 5 minutes before i go to sleep.

This is a non-issue for me. The problem is to the people who can see it under any light situation, i can understand them.

But if you are taking a picture in a complete dark ennviroment to find spots. Well, it's better to leave it there.....
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
@OP Im pleased for you that all of your marks are small and unnoticeable. Unfortunately, that is not the case for me... I have a large one right in the centre of the screen, visible without a DSLR.

And for the record. I can't see my marks either on high brightness like you used in your test. Try watching a film at night with the lights out, something with dark scenes like Tron. That's the real would situation i'm unhappy about.

I don't see why this issue shouldn't be discussed by people affected by it. Just my two cents.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Some people can and do see the spots and marks in normal use, and the fact is the quality of AMOLED screens and their durability varies a lot. This is what people are concerned about, don't generalize and say there's no problem.
[Galaxy S III General] NZtechfreak:
Wondered how long it'd take for the complaints police to arrive here.
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
Agreed. Makes me laugh how the OP has basically set up a thread to whine about other people complaining. Even though some of then have legitimate reasons.

I think he was just bored because his S3 hadn't arrived yet. Ended up performing inaccurate tests on his S2 to pass the time.
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
here they come :p
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
i guess the point of the OP is valid somewhat for the reasons that some people here complain too much about screen problems and do nothing about it even if some able members suggest solutions...as said if you have a warranty and have noticeable screen issues then by God use that consumer right...and i hope you provide us with an accurate screen test of phones so as we may know what should be done...
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
Agreed that people often complain too much. I thought I would pipe in cos I got the impression from the wording of the OP that every person complaining about this issue is being unreasonable. Maybe I mistook his meaning... ;)

I will be returning under warranty which is a real ball ache. Oh well... what can you do? :rolleyes: And about an accurate screen test... just use your phone as normal, if it's bad enough on your phone you will notice it. I did in the first 24 hrs. There's no need to go looking for an issue which will make itself apparent if it's bad enough.
[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
the title may be a bit misleading but if you read the contents then you will see that the point of the post is that if you really use your phone normally these things can be admissable...and seriously this is the correct way to look at screen problems, samsung will pass this as proof in case you need to use your warranty
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
How is watching a film at night NOT normal usage? I give up trying to clarify how this issue does actually affect some people. I'm off to bang my head against the wall... I'll probably gain more. :p
[Galaxy S III General] TheWarKeeper:
i have to disagree with the op on this one, this is not your 60dollars phone where u can find a scratch on it and go like eh, its only 60 bucks...

This phone costs 750€, at least thats how much it costs where i live...

I have samsung galaxy s2, and still has the very same problems it had at start, that also includes the pathetic overheating problem in certain applications, heck it even happens when im recording at 1080p 30fps.

Anyways thats the biggest reason in not buying galaxy s3, i see the graphics processor is the same, no way im gonna restrict my usage of the phone by its temperature, and its good that people show the problems with the screen, the more problems find the less surprises you will get when buying one if you actually read these forums, i see nothing wrong with complaining about bad quality and flaws of a product when they are valid, and that is definitly valid, i wouldnt rest untill i got my money back if i had that issue myself, having those ink marks visible while working is horrible, especially for a company which promotes OLED as the superior image.

Another thing i dont get is why is it that the samsung oled are so crappy in every single aspect, they are horrible in pixel response latency as it comes nowhere near at the 0.01ms, actually its nowhere near 0.1 either, they have this clear lack of quality issue at gray colors (not that this specific one bothers me as its hardly visible) and when viewing from different angles you can still see it go a bit bluer (another aspect of which oled doesnt actually do when looking at oled tvs from other brands for example but somehow samsung oled for mobile devices do).

Between other issues with the sound quality beying very poor for such an expensive device and camera snapshots in bright conditions...

All those are part of samsung galaxy s2.

If samsung galaxy s3 will not fix at least the camera issue and the overheating issue at least and instead it actually adds more issues into the list, then im going to be called outdated for a bit of time.

And no matter how you put it, it is a valid stance and these complaints about the screen are valid especially because they promote superior image with oled.

If youre not happy dont buy it, theres little u can do to change a company, hoping it will fix your issues with updates is as slim as hoping bill gates not releasing another crappy OS.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
I agree with the OP. I noticed the blotches on a black screen in a dark room on day 1. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
[Galaxy S III General] okpc:
A black blotch on a completely black screen. I have it too, what the heck are people's complaining about. It's not like you love watching a black screen all day long
[Galaxy S III General] Tachikoma_kun:
Mine is fine, I played ShadowGun lastnight for half an hour and the phone was cooler than my SGS1 after 10 minutes on the browser.

All this talk about overheating annoys me, go take the massive heatsink and fan off your computers CPU, fire up the computer and see how long it lasts. These phones have massive computational power and passive/no cooling. I am fine with a phone getting warm, it's not like the casing is melting or the phone is shutting down due to a temperature event.
[Galaxy S III General] aussiesausage:
I got 2 tiny ones, room has to be pitch black to see them but and screen dark Grey, never seen them doing anything else though so I don't care.
[Galaxy S III General] blueseeker:
I don't see iphone users complaining about the black on their phones being white and that white is noticeable in normal usage, but some people are complaining about some black dots on the most blackier screen on the market used in a complete dark environment.

WOW!

If you talk about black crush, yes, that's a serious problem, but I guess that it's a software problem.
[Galaxy S III General] deli_gt:
just changed the unit

So I had these ink marks and was werry anoyed of them, so I went and replaced it and guess what no more ink spots.

Is it only luck or was the first patch of sgs 3 BROKEN?

If I buy phone with 600e it better be perfect and not broken!
[Galaxy S III General] TheWarKeeper:
I did not mean it does this in every single application, but it does in alot of them, even recording 1080p 30fps with its own software, xformula game too, dungeons defenders, riptide gt and more, i doubt very much of your statement that its because it has massive performance, adreno 220 with a dual core 1.5ghz will probably be a reference to that statement.

And for your information, if you leave it to overheat like that then yes it will met its circuitry board with the plastic, it has been reported by users sending them back to repair and the diagnostic beying that.

If it annoys you then at least come with a valid comment rather than: oh but i play apps which u didnt describe and this doesnt happen, since i clearly did not say all apps have this and i have specified which apps caused it this statement is also a bit invalid if you ask me.

As for taking off the massive heatsink of my cpus and turn it on, let me tell you that my motherboards have a pressure system, if they do not detect the heatsink properly installed over the cpu they will simply refuse to power it up.

I believe this is commn since intel pentium 4 era, maybe even before than that.

While you are sick of people complaining about valid issues with the phones i am sick of fanboys trying to desperately stand by their products as if their dadds made them, im past that age long time ago and frankly i dont remember beying a fanboy for anything, i always check the quality of the products which as many know its slowly decaying the more we advance in time. If something is wrong and it bothers me i talk about it so other people with similar expectations will not be surprised about this or that, if you do not care then you can always disregard the information, its your choice.
[Galaxy S III General] Funkym0nkey:
Going slightly OT, but motherboard do not have pressure system.

Most motherboard out there now have PWM fan header and they detect whether CPU fan is plugged in and rotating at proper speed or not. You can disable this in BIOS if you want.

The second protection system is overheat protection which is also customisable in bios. Your motherboard will switch off the system to protect the processor if temperatures go above set temperature.

Then there is TJMax which is hardencoded into the CPU itself. If processor reaches that temperature it will automatically downclock or freeze and shut down. This is the only thing you cant touch or change.

There is no pressure sensor anywhere on the motherboard.

These modern phones behave in similar way. They clock down / reduce performance if it heats up too much.

You can check it by running benchmarks like AnTutu. Keep your phone on charge for 20-30 minutes so battery temp and thus phone temperature is up, run antutu. When its done, run it again. And you will see that as your phone gets hotter, the performance goes down.

Put that phone in freezer/fridge for 2 minutes and run it again, and you will see the performance is back up.

But yeah, agree on your last point. I hate people telling others to just shut up about a real issue.

Even this is a real issue. Lot of people like me use the phones as media players to watch TV serials and youtube videos in bed at night with lights off or dimmed and the spots are very much visible in dark scenes on my Galaxy Note. It not too much of a bother, but it can be visible. I have learnt to ignore this issue, but that does not mean people have no right to complain. This issue needs to be fixed permanently. We have all the right to expect Samsung to fix this in the near future. If we dont point it out in public or complain, they might miss or ignore this issue.
[Galaxy S III General] lynkchiz:
in the first place its not even broken dude. come on, time is gold. willing to waste time on that superficial deffect? not me...
[Galaxy S III General] Tachikoma_kun:
My point wasn't this phone's performance, but all the latest smartphones, I said earlier my SGS1 became warm just browsing. The point stands these things have no active cooling in a mostly sealed unit, there's no airflow, the phones have to cool through induction to the casing. Would you rather your phone became a little warm during use, or would you rather the CPU/GPU was thermally shielded and cooked itself?

The melting (well, softening) point of fibreglass (what most circuit boards are made out of) is about 1200°C and I doubt anyones phone has hit that while playing RipTide GT. Any phone that gets hot enough to deform/melt the plastic components is faulty. I had to have a fuel pump replaced in my car once as it was faulty, doesn't mean every model of that car is faulty.

So an example of probably the most graphically intensive game isn't valid? I have also done 1080p video recording, and the phone became "slightly warm" but I would hardly call it overheating.

Irrational argument is irrational, the point still stands.

I fail to see where I blindly defended this phone. I offered an example of putting the phone under stress (playing ShadowGun) and said it wasn't as hot as my old (Samsung) phone displaying a static webpage.

My point is these phone's, all phones, HTC, Apple, Samsung, etc fit a lot of components into a small space. If you are so enraged that your phone under heavy use might become warm enough to notice, then get a Nokia 3210. If your phone is getting hot enough to damage itself, it's faulty.
