[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abobobilly:
The current screen condition I.e. Washed out colors made me think of one and one thing only. "Gamma"

It was very obvious that the Gamma was somehow increased beyond the default value, hence the washed out screen.

Just tweak it to make the colors look darker and you'll be fine.

Yea it even made me curious.

Did you check the colors on a Gingerbread firmware? (The stock one, not a modified one) Are they same i.e. washed out on that too?

So far, thats the first case i have seen like that. So i am sure its more related to some drivers problem and NOT with the phone itself.

I am not sure.

But its certainly not washed out.

If i were to make a choice then i would say that mine looks like with Darker color tone.

Again, i can make it even more darker by tweaking the colors.

-------

Lastly, for my curiosity, kindly adjust the colors using Device Settings and reduce the Gamma. Post another picture after that. I would love to see some results :)

Very strange indeed I must say!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
There must be something different in the displays and I dont think the drivers in AOSP supports both displays. Even though they are both AMOLED, there must be a driver difference between the two devices that I have and that you have.

Why would we otherwise have the correct colors in GB for both devices, but wrong colors in ICS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
I know the one with the wrong colors was bought 25/7-2011. So it was also probably manufactured also much later than the first batches of SGS which were shipped june 2010, so they could have used other displays, although still AMOLED.

The device producing the correct colors is definitely older.

I don't really know how to check when the display was produced.. How can i check that?

And also how did you send it in for warrenty. You also said the colors looked fine in GB in your thread, so the warrenty center wouldn't approve if you came in with ICS on it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbarna:
I have the exakt same problem with my i9000. It's from 2011 aswell. Must be a new display, which is not playing very well with drivers in AOSP.

No matter how much you tweak the gamma values, you can't get it right. VC or CM color, doesn't matter. CM is a little better.

No solution yet?

Is there no way of pulling the correct drivers from GB and use them in 4.x.x rom, or something like that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertocastillo2001:
Hello

I had my Galaxy S screen replaced and it's different indeed, seems there are different Amoled displays.

My phone was bought in Feb 2011 and I have CyanogenMOD 9 installed with Semaphore kernel

No new modifications have been done to the firmware and yesterday I had a Samsung Service Centre install a new screen for me, screen was original and I saw all the process. Now my phone's screen seems to a bit darker, like if the contrast was different and the colors aren't fully right

So I guess it¡s true and there are different revisions of the screen that seem to look different on custom roms

I don't have the GB stock to test

i tried to unroot my phone and i skipped a step on accident (flash the RUU or whatever lol...) and now my phone will not do anything

power button wont power the device, i took the battery out, i tried charging it but no light will come on so its probably not charging either.

i read somewhere that if i took apart the device and heat up the chips with a heat gun for a couple minutes and let it cool off for about an hour it will fix it but i tried it and still nothing.

is the phone done for? or what should i do next?

any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you all

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxus:
I have a problem installing Wanamlite on my S2. I'm getting the Status 7, Installation Aborted error when flashing through CWM. I have searched for similar threads and all but cant find any. The closest solution was to delete a getprop line which I read from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28594852&postcount=9721

However I cant find the line in the updater-script file.

I’m coming from a Galaxy S2.

Android Version: 2.3.3

Baseband: XXKL1,

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH1-….

Build: Gingerbread.DXKI2

I figured I must be doing something wrong, do I have to change my kernel or build or baseband before flashing this? I would appreciate any help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Flash stock ICS, CF-Root and then Wanamlite.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxus:
Thanks for your quick response! Can I just confirm if i can do all this through CWM? I just download the needed zip files, boot into recovery, then install stock ics zip file, then cf root zip file, then wanamlite?

For the CF-root, which version should I install?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
You flash CF-Root through Odin only. Stock firmware also through Odin.

Wanamlite through CWMR.

And version... exactly the same as build number of stock FW.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxus:
Okay thanks so much. I'm now following the guide here (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-ph...-sandwich-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50006766/) to flash stock ICS 4.0.3, and will then flash the CF-root.

Im just curious as to what CF-Root does. Since my phone is already rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
You need CF-Root because after flashing ICS you will lose root.

CF-Root installs su, busybox and CWMR.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxus:
Thanks for your help. I just re-installed ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ and rooted by installing CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar). However when I try and install the wanamlite, i still get Status 7, installation aborted. Any ideas why this happens?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Maybe you need to disable signature checking. Eventually ask in Wanamlite thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxus:
Thanks for the help. I managed to fix this. I think there was a problem in the zip file. I downloaded the non blue theme instead and it worked!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] pjamv5:
Am I the only one having issues with Gmail not picking up new emails? So far, even though I have it configured to automatically sync, I have to manually sync in Gmail to pick up new emails. I have tried dropping and re-adding the Google account, turning off sync and back on, clearing data in the Gmail app, and restarting the phone. I read somewhere that it may have to do with being on Wifi at work, but it doesn't matter if I'm on Wifi or 4g, still the same behaviour. I have a work email account setup through activesync and am having no issues with that. My old phone (Droid 2) would pick up new Gmail emails within seconds. I'm running the root66 stock-based rooted ROM. Any ideas welcome!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] pjamv5:
Aaaand, it's fixed. I'm honestly not sure what did it. Newish things I tried included fixing permissions, clearing data/cache for Gmail and Google Services Framework, clearing system/dalvik cache. I'm now getting emails within a minute of them being sent, which was what I came to expect on Gingerbread. Who knows? Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I've used my Galaxy Nexus for six months without using a secondary battery. At first I bought the extended battery with extended battery cover, but not only did that make my phone too 'thick', it also seemed that Galaxy Nexus is unable to know which battery is being used, so the battery life seemed incorrect when using the extended battery.

I think this has something to do with the battery info memory that the phone stores.

So I ended up buying a second battery, a replacement battery that is exactly the same as the one I originally have in my Nexus.

But since batteries are still different and are bound to perform differently, I wonder how to manage it correctly? Do I always have to drain the phone completely empty before switching batteries and charging the battery with a separate charging dock? I am worried that the phone considers performance of my battery A as the same as battery B, thus in time ending up with lesser battery life on both due to the confusion.

Are there any tips I should know? I need to use replacement batteries since at times I'm on an extended trips where I might not have the ability to charge the phone, but need to use the phone one way or another.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
Ah..... I bought some batteries from Amazon. Cheap, like 20 bucks. They are charged, in my bag, if I run out of juice, I switch and start charging the other one. I still have a 3rd that I've never had to use. Hell I hardly use the 2nd one.

All the other stuff you mentioned, I guess I just don't care about all that. I just know they can hold a charge for quite a while. And that helps me when I need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdxtechdoctor:
These are Li-ion batteries.. DO NOT DRAIN THEM ALL THE WAY DOWN!

**This shortens the life of the battery**

It is better to charge them whenever you feel like it - these batteries and really almost all phone / laptop batteries these days prefers to be charged in shorter cycles and they also do not need to be charged all the way either - IE lithium ion batteries do not have a memory and do not need to be drained and charged fully.

These ideas come for the ancient Ni-Cad batteries famous in AA rechargeable and cordless phone and really old phones / laptops..

Chances are if your device is less than 5 years old it has Li-Ion batteries and the old school thought will actually shorten the battery life

Battery life meaning the amount of power it holds and the number of charge cycles...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
I usually forget to unplug my phone when I go to sleep. Any bad effects?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
Nope you can do it all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abnah:
You CAN drain them down, as much as the phone allows you. Only deep discharge will harm/kill them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
You cannot drain battery completely empty with a phone. Phone itself will not allow that to happen. Well, it is technically possible, but you need to do a lot more than just drain it until phone shuts down to make it happen.

My problem is that the phone stores information about battery. But if I use two different batteries (despite being the same type and capacity), during battery switches it will not know the battery life of the second battery and can be wrong (as it guesses it based on first battery). People usually delete batterystats file to reset this information, but that sounds pointless to do after every battery switch.

I guess I'll just discharge one battery to about 50% and then store it for just-in-case purposes.

Just a quick link to help out, if you want more info you'll have to Google it yourself ;)

You can use 2 different size batteries without decreasing their usable life per charge.

[Omnia 7 General] mohageer:
what the latest firmware from samsung for this csc and is it has internet sharing
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
I have that csc XEUJL3, and I updated till 8773 and I have KK1 (2424.11.11.2) (from flashing the I8700XXJL3-RETAIL-UK ROM), but firmware is not tied to the csc but to a registry key (HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator)

XEUJL3 comes with a value of 000-GB for that registry key.

So for 000-GB the latest firmware is KI8700XXKI1

But you can change the value to your liking, and then connect to Zune and a new update (OEM, Samsung update, firmware update) will be offered.

For 000-88, it's KK2 (2424.12.2.2)

For SFR-FR, it's KI3 (2424.11.9.3) or LB2???

For FON-ES, it's KK1 (2424.11.11.1)

For 000-FR it's LB2

For Nordic countries (I don't know the code) it's LD1 (the latest) etc.

But all this info is irrelevant, because all those firmware (from KI1 onwards contain the necessary drivers for Internet Sharing). What you need to enable it is some registry edits that can be very easily done by using DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap (attached, credits go to authors Marvin_S & Contable & Snickler),

provided that you are Interop Unlocked

.

Do that step when you are at 7720. (Try it though to whatever os version you are at, but you must have earlier firmware than KK2)

Deploy DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap to your phone and run it.

Swipe left to the ''iso store'' pivot, tap and hold “Internet Sharing” until the options “Execute” and “Delete” pop up. Choose “Execute” and you will receive a message saying “ProvXML successfully applied!”. Go to Settings and voila Internet Sharing is there.

PS: Judging by the fact you are an advanced user I'm surprised that you didn't know how to enable ICS. So if my advice solves your problem, I expect to press my Thanks button every day for the full month of August.

I'm sure a lot of you have played The Amazing Spiderman app and were disappointed with the graphics on our devices. I found a link for a configuration file that enhances the graphics of the game for a device that was well bellow the Atrix and decided to make my own.

DO NOT try to push these settings further. For the last couple of days I've done a lot of trial and error and this is as far as the app will allow us to push these settings until they reset when you start the game.

READ the Readme in the zipped file on where to put this file. Make sure to overwrite or back up the original.

I'd post screenshots but I don't have the camera in the game and when trying to take a screenshot via Power button, it opens the menu.

Changes include:

Lower resolution to remove / reduce lag with these settings

Enhanced graphics for Spiderman, sky and water

Manholes produce smoke? (Haven't seen any, yet, but it is enabled)

Birds? (Haven't seen any, yet, but it is enabled)

Slightly further rendering of buildings

Higher LOD of vehicles and NPCs

More types of vehicles and NPCs

Slightly more populated streets

Bloom and Specular lighting enabled

Speed lines when web slinging and running

I am running Neutrino 2.8 EE. If anyone that is overclocked wants one with the standard resolution, or even higher, let me know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I was wondering what type of development has been going on with other carriers. Since custom or AOSP ROM’s can’t be flashed on the Verizon S3 I was wondering what type of things we are currently missing out on, and if we do eventually get unlock that these can be somewhat easily ported over to the Verizon phone (or are we completely behind on development).

Just curious about what people’s enhancements have been in things like battery life and performance with new kernels.

thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hypersonicx:
Not sure if this is just me or everyone, but I noticed that when after flashing a rom and starting blank and fresh with no apps installed and with the HTC Sense pages at default with the preloaded widgets. At this point the whole phone is fast and very snappy and very smooth when swiping between different home screens. Even if you rotate the phone to landscape the phone rotates very fast.

BUT

As soon as I start installing my games and apps from the Play store, the whole phone just doesnt become snappy anymore. With 1GB Ram and Dual Core 1.5 GHz S4 CPU shouldnt the phone stay snappy no matter how many apps you have installed? This seems to be the case for every Sense phone.

It seems like the slow down comes when I start opening a couple apps and customizing the home screens. I tried down grading to 5 screens instead of 7 with a couple widgets such as the weather clock and I have my apps grouped into folders ect. At this point swiping between screens is a little jerky but if I keep swiping it goes back to being smooth.

My previous phones Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S2 didnt have this problem. I could have all 7 pages maxed out with widgets and apps filling up each page and the phone would remain snappy with no lag.

I never been a fan of the Snap Dragon CPU. I had better experience with Exynos.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Same here.. I now use Nova Launcher and it's great but I want to use Sense. I don't want to resort to a launcher to get the performance I expect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hypersonicx:
EXACTLY!

Yeah, im aware that I can switch to Nova launcher ect, but if that was the case, I would have kept my Galaxy Nexus. I want to beable to use the nice fancy Sense Widgets but the phone shouldnt have to slow down like it does.

I found this to happen on each rom I been on and I tried just about each of them in the Dev section. I havnt tried %100 stock because, soon as I got the phone I rooted and used a custom rom so im not sure if pure stock has this problem.

Maybe a Dev can chime in with a solution.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steven 1:
I can agree to an extent..no matter what though, this phone will always be faster than a galaxy nexus. (Don't know bout jellybean). That thing stuttered like a mofo when I was testin it.

Anyways, the phone tends to slow down and speed up at will. Could be a combination of cache or resources that sense needs in order for it to run that bogs memory. (Like adding different widgets, apps, etc) Sense just isn't well made like the pure android experience imo. It needs more fluidity within the system to run smoother and this is probably why you experience lag every now and then. Overall, I'm satisfied. It doesn't slow down too much. Still feels like a superior device even with its flaws (sense UI)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
its not your phone, rom or sense. it's the play store. it happens on stock or rooted. even does it on my wife's 3D(stock unrooted). I blame it on when the play store changed over to the format it uses, now. even noticed it on her epic touch before I gave her my 3D. just my opinion I know. otherwise I have no lag.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hypersonicx:
I'm not sure what it is. All I know my Galaxy Nexus never slowed down with AOKP and CM and my Epic Touch was also always smooth. Can't say that about this phone. The camera is nice and screen is nice but can't say that about this Snap Dragon so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Well this damn phone flies with Nova Launcher..HTC should be ashamed of them selves for still continuing to have sense be as slow as it is.

And I'm afraid even project butter in jelly bean won't help because HTC will find a way to slow things down
