I hope not. A few really interesting points have been brought up and discussed. For the most part, the comments in this thread have been quite respectful. Some of the thoughts and feelings that members have had needed a place to be said and this thread is perfect for that purpose. I'm not so sure that we won't experience a few more useful pieces of info if this thread is left open.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Unscrewed:
I am very thankful for all developers because I know as a developer myself that you do a lot to get nothing in return.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] -DarkKnight-:
And maybe troubled makers will see this thread and find out what they are doing wrong...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
thanks to the noobs, i cant wait to get a new device now :/
[Optimus One, P500, V General] petraru1:
me too, when i bought this phone in june 2011 this section of forum was full of devs ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sellers86:
Just because there are noobs doesn't mean you should abandon the device. You all act like you have been experts since you got the phone! Granted, the noobs post a lot and it gets annoying, its no reason to abandon a device. Smh...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IKnowIRock!:
True that.Some people talk as if they are born experts lol I wonder they do even really know the meaning of "noob".Just coz others talk about it in here, some "experts" have wined up it seems.

Well I'm thankful to those who were a "noob" (that's how u call it) those days and now a reall expert..They are the ones who make our O1 a killer beast.

My uttermost respect to all the devs who remember their beginning :) *thumbs up* for them.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
the reason i said abandon my device is because one by one everyone is stopping development for our device. And by this time, many of us have made a habit of switching ROM's and testing new alpha, beta builds almost every week or even 2-3 days.

With no more test builds, it'll just be stale.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IKnowIRock!:
Again pressed the thanks button mistakenly :/ yeah sadly our phone is outdated :(

Those who can afford a new device will switch to a new one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrcorey:
I re-read this thread after seeing a trend that really makes me disappointed in some members.

I've realized that the noob questions don't bother me nearly as much as the responses from people who either ridicule or threaten those who post. Why not pm them instead of extending the mistake over several back and forth comments that aren't related.

And, what's with the recent trend of people suggesting, in the thread, that another be reported or banned? Why not just report them yourself and keep your own crap out of the thread? For such comments, you should also be reported for the same reason.

Maybe I'm totally off base here. But, I bet if we see a comment on a thread that we think violates the forum rules or the op request, just report it and move on. We'd all appreciate it.

I believe that it says in the lazypanda thread and on the Site that you need to be on a stock rooted rom. Unless something changed, follow all the instructions or bad things can happen.

Alright guys/gals, I know there are a million Aquarium Live Wallpapers on the market, but I think I just found one that takes the cake. I just paid the $21 to have the live wallpaper/screen saver for my laptop and after seeing it was available for Android, I had to try it. I'm using Nova Launcher running EOS3 Jellybean build#55 and I can tell you that there is very minimal to no lag on the stock kernel that comes with the rom. (*Don't know what it's clocked at.*) The graphics, look and movement of the fish are very life like. The app is free, but I paid the $2 for the extra fish and features, which made it even better. You can add a liquid touch affect, limit FPS up to 60, set current strength, touch tentacles, feed the fish, etc. The developers even offers a $1000 challenge to anyone who can find a more advanced marine aquarium simulation. I haven't tested this long enough to see how it is on the battery, but I can tell you it looks great!! It's pretty neat to see the fish swimming around on the lock screen when it's dimmed . So if you're a live wallpaper or fish aquarium kind of person, then check this app out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5TaW1BcXVhcml1bS5MV1AiXQ..

I have purchased books on the B&N store (previously owned nook) and google play store. Is there any legal/legit way to be able to read these books from a customizable reader like cool reader?

B&N store allows me to download an epub, but it seems to crash cool reader if i transfer it manually to the nexus7. (I tried removing the weird naming format but nothing, pathetic attempt but its all i could think of)

The google play store allows me to download the acsm, but i cant seem to do much with it.

I tried some googling on conversions, but honestly, i got so much trash response (HEAVY results with any search including google play or B&N store) from a search I couldnt find anything useful.

I'd appreciate even a point in the right direction if this can not be solved here, I'd just like to consolidate my purchases to a more customizable reader.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stevenjcampbell:
A few weeks ago in las Vegas I noticed that my phones screen was not turning on after being out in the heat.

I rebooted etc etc but the real problem was just that the phone itself was awake and running, but pressing the power button would light up the capacitive buttons but no screen.

I could even swipe to open the phone and feel the vibration of it opening, answer calls by guessing and swiping etc.

The phone would be fine after it cooled down.

Now I'm back in a normal weather city and it's still happening.

Even just being in my pocket... It needs to be cooled down a little or no screen.

Doesn't seem like it matters but;

Cm7

No custom kernels at least not that I ever Installed

I only did the agps fix in terms of mods.

I guess I'm screwed since I'm over the year warranty. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stevenjcampbell:
I should point out that in use the extended battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stevenjcampbell:
Would really like some advice here. Moving to a new device is not ideal but if this is hardware what choice would I have as I'm out of warranty...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Try flashing a different ROM, see if it happens in the bootloader or recovery... I'm thinking hardware issue, if those don't fix it then it definitely is.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stevenjcampbell:
thanks, i will try it.

I had the kang versiion of CM9 but it was a giant fail on my device. Maybe because I did not flash a new kernel, but regardless it just did not work well.

I may try and go stock, just to see what happens, and if I can stomach sense anymore.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] geekcentercreations:
Hardware issue!

I had this happen to a different phone of mine. The heat actually started to make the glue holding the screen and connectors in melt away, so the screen kept going in and out. The screen and touch digitilizer are different. You may still feel feedback but the screen just isnt powering on! Try opening your phone and looking inside to see if the connections are still nice and tight. Usually its like a ribbon cable sort of thing holding everything in place.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stevenjcampbell:
Awesome! I installed paranoid android and aside from a few errors its been slightly better.

I think though that I will get a service manual somewhere online and take it apart and try and clean it out.

Most electronics I've owned in las Vegas have had overheating issues so I am not surpised this happened to the phone as well

Why do you have to find a spare SD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] psal217050:
Procedure says process will make SD card a golden card for S-off. I might be wrong but it appears that the S-off command needs to get put on the SD card before it gets activated and allows root. Or is that wrong?

Problem is my SD card is in my Samsung with lots on it. Didn't want to chance losing that data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
ok, there´s no need to use a different sdcard. The hack kit does not touch the information in it and after the whole process is done it wipes de goldcard from it...you don´t need to keep either.

I have run the kit with my current sdcard and there´s no need to change it...make a back up just for precaution, but it does not format it....
[HTC Inspire 4G] psal217050:
Great. Thanks for the info. I did find a small 2GB card I can use too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Yep, the only fact that u have to take into consideration is that the sdcard needs not to be corrupted...otherwise it will fails to work as a goldcard.

Hi all.

My friend from Czech republic has a strange issue on SGS:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDTeUS_7jis&feature=player_embedded

It is only on ICS or JB ROM, on GB works all perfect. After a few second, starts display working on right side too. But after unlocking doesn!t work the right side.

Any suggestions? Thanks

OMG... I thought I was the only. I have the same problem. With GB Stock Rom (JVU or JW5) all works fine. But with ICS (currently ICS333 but also in other roms) the right side of the display does not react sometimes.

The difference with me is that after turning the display off and on again, it works for the next 5-15 minutes. :confused:

Does anyone else experience eyestrain with devices that have the HD Super Amoled screen?

I notice after about 10 - 15 mins of use, I get dizzy and my eyes hurt like they are being crossed or something when using the galaxy s3 or galaxy note, my old galaxy s2 skyrocket doesn't bother me though....

I've tried to turn the brightness down all the way, using the device at different distance to no avail.

Any possible solutions to remedy this? or am I going to have to sell my new S3 like I did my galaxy note? :/

I've actually noticed a decrease in eye strain coming from an LCD screen on my atrix. LCD screens are constantly flashing, and the screen on my galaxy s3 is super clear for me almost no eye strain. Its probably personal preference though.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OtherJonny:
I've actually experienced the opposite as my first android device was an atrix....

I think it may have something to do with the 1200 x 800 resolution on such a small screen because If I turn up the resolution on my PC HD monitor to something like 1600 x 1200 for example, my eyes start to hurt.

I was actually going to post a new great until I saw this. I came from retina displays and my eyes are sore after I look at the screen for over 10 minutes on my GS3. Kinda concerning!! Might have to switch back to an apple product. I was getting use to droid too. :-/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] expertzero1:
its because of the screen size/pixels. Your eyes still needs to be adjusted to the new screen lol... obv
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] potterybear:
Yes!

I got vertigo/migraines about a month after getting my S3. I had a number of medical tests to see what was causing it - but even after new glasses I've narrowed it down to the S3 display being too strong for my eyes. I'm going to sell mine and get a replacement with a duller screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] potterybear:
Try this...

Try changing the Screen Mode to 'Natural' or 'Movie". Helped a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MetQuota:
I also immidiately noticed eye fatique after getting Galaxy s3, particularly in my right eye. It started only getting worse, and coincidently only when I was using Galaxy. Other lcd devices such as older 3gs never bothered me at all. Surpisingly majority of reviews call the display stunning quality, but its pretty dim, practically unusable outside and colors are unnaturally oversaturated, all of which didnt bother me that much as long as my eyes wouldnt hurt so much. I started reading more about specs in Super amoled technology, but nothing pointed out to potensial issues, than I googled galaxy s3 refresh rate, and the first video from the search result comparing s3 to the iphone, provided a major clue. The poor quality camera was picking up horrible flickering from galaxy, but iphone screen didnt flicker at all. It instantly brought me back to old CRT days, and I also remember getting dizzy from such displays running at low refresh rates of 60mhz. Back than bumping up refresh rate to 75mhz conciderably dicreased eye strain. I took the video to the store, sales person was suprised that I was returning such popular product, but its been a day since my exchange for another brand and eye strain is gone. The issue maybe overlooked as it affects low percentage of people, but if you have sensitive vision, than you'd be much better off with non hd amoled technology
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] notsid201:
Could it be the brightness?

I'm sure your not holding it against your nose while watchin you tube, but maybe its the overall brightness of the screen thats getting to you? I use a powersaver app that has a black screen filter that dims it out a good little bit, maybe something like that could help, or a matte finish screen protector...the anti glare ones I think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Use the "Screen Filter" for use at nights.

Set brightness to 0, and enable filter. I set mine at 48.6% and 36.9% (created two widgets with these percentages) and use either as needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deoxlar:
Set your brightness lower. It's the brightness of your screen. I have the same problem before turning down the screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dankest:
Keep phone at safe distance from face. Try a dark theme or inverted apps, or both they will most likely reduce eyestrain as well as save battery.

Hi all,

There are a lot of users who feel uncomfortable with AMOLED displays (not all of them, for example sgs2 is not affected). They can struggle with head ache and eye strain. You can google "galaxy s3 eye strain" for example or watch how AMOLED blinks through photo/video camera (there are tons of youtube videos). This effect apperars only when screen brightness is not at maximum level. The nature of that is the mechanism used for brightness control. Instead of forcing the pixels to glow at less brightness they force them to blink very fast. The faster pixel blinks - the brighter it seems to the user. The downside of this is that the whole screen blinks as an old CRT monitor which causes this negative effect.

I found an app which could help us to workaround this issue. I filed a feature request. So if you are interested you can add yourself to wathcher list and post a comment here - https://bitbucket.org/VitoCassisi/lux/issue/38/lux-auto-brightness-feature-request-for

This should not take a lot of time since you can authorise there with your google/facebook/twitter or other account.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kurkosdr:
Wow! I switched the screen to "natural", the problem with oversaturared, too rich colors was solved. I had to keep the brightness low so color pictures aren't too bright, but this made reading text on white backround unpleasant. Of course now I have to find new brightness levels (what brightness levels do you guys use for day and night?)

PS: Samsung has been doing similar tricks with the colors in their TVs. Some series 6 TVs made the picture look like it was from a heat sensor in dynsmic mode, and this was their default mode.

PPS: Mobile screens suck. LCDs have washed out blacks which strains the eyes, and AMOLEDs don't care about correct colors which makes you duzzy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yarmobile:
S3 screen flickers!

You are absolutely right. S3 screen flickers a lot. Try to move it quickly in front of your eyes, move your eyest when looking at it, or move your finger fast in front of the screen. I certainly do notice it.

What other phones have better displays? Sony? HTC?

I have a solution to resolve galaxy S3 scren flickering: set brightness to max in settings, install an app like "Screen Filter" (one with black-white rectangle) and decrease brightness there, in the app.

Flickering gone!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] guglez:
Most of phone LCD screens are not affected by flicker. Even some amoled displays too. For example old HTC Legend and galaxy S2.

Galaxy note 3, 4, Galaxy s4, 5 are also affected. I strongly recommend you not to buy any new samsung phones equipped with AMOLED screens.

Now with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux software you can get rid of screen flickering issue. Automatic brightness adjust will also work.
