[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPlant:
Pretty simple procedure. I fell in the same trap.

The S2 Logo means that the phone is probably soft bricked

and because you can still enter download mode, its not hard to reboot it.

1. Go here and select your phone and its correct version's official firmware here: http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/

2. Download Odin v3.07 - Google it, if you want the link then i'll provide it.

3. Turn phone off completely and put it into download mode (Down Volume, Home Button and Power Button together).

4. After downloading the official firmware extract it and open Odin.

5. Select Auto Boot and F. Reset and put that .md5 file in the PDA section. NOTE: There should be COM: (PORT NUMB) in the first box.

6. Click Start and wait. If it succeeded then it will say PASS in green.

NOTE: This will take some time and patience. It will be on the Samsung logo for a while as it loads up the stock firmware.

Good luck, any extra help, PM me or reply to this.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedWhiteBlue:
Hello,

I did some searching, but couldn't find a definate answer. Also, I only have an hour to figure this out, or else I will have to wait at least 3 days, which I do NOT want to do. Any help is very much appreciated...

I have been without a phone for waaaaay too long. I have decided to go with Straight Talk wireless (no contract). I have a few questions:

Is it possible to use my Fascinate on the Straight Talk network?

If so, how difficult would this be? Some time ago, I was knowledgable enough to put a custom ROM on it.

If I were to order a free phone online, it would be possible to switch it over to my verizon fascinate, and give the free phone to a family member, correct??

If someone could provide me with the steps needed to get my phone straight-talk ready, that would be a huge help. Or provide me with any links that explain the process.

Thanks so much, and once again, sorry if this is common knowledge to most folks, but I reallly need to make a decision asap.

Thanks in advance...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmbillings:
My guess is that Sense is using it's own font from some HTC resources, rather than the usual Android system one. So the usual apps for switching this will be changing the wrong thing...

It'll probably require some Sense-decompiling stuff...

*Edit* well- maybe not. There's a whole bunch of Fonts in /system/fonts, maybe you're just changing the wrong one...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onkel_neme:
Try TrickDroid Roms Tweak package.There you can choose and install some Fonts.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devowa:
You can change the default font before flash a custom rom.

I don't know how to make a update.zip so... here's my way(doing it on the PC).

1. Rename fonts which you want to use to;

"Roboto-Regular.ttf"

"Roboto-Bold.ttf"

"Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf"

"Roboto-Italic.ttf"

2. Open a custom rom with winrar.

3. Drag&Drop renamed fonts into system/fonts.

4. Flash.

If you use TrickDroid, skip 2,3,4 and do this;

1. Open TrickDroidThemes.zip with winrar.

2. Drag&Drop renamed fonts to additions/fonts/asap

3. Apply theme. (choose "asap", of course)

you can also disable the low battery beep sound ;)

I hope it helps:o

[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
No, it is legal to unlock any phones bought before the law came into effect.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Phone can be legally unlocked with a code from the carrier. T-Mobile, for instance, gave me a SIM unlock code 90 days after starting the contract.

It's unlocking without carrier approval, for phones that are subsidized by the carrier (and not yet paid off), that is now illegal IIRC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
No, I'm pretty sure that any phone purchased before the law came into effect can be unlocked by any means. Under the new law, only the carrier can unlock a phone. And they cannot be unlocked by other means even after the subsidized price is completed (off contract). At least that is the reports I saw on the Internet. I have not read the law itself.

My GNex can no longer boot up.

Yesterday, I was charging my GNex and iPad from a dual port 2A USB charger. After a while the charger got really hot (about 50-80degC!) and the iPad registered multiple touches upon pressing one point on the screen, so I immediately removed everything. Everything appeared normal until today. I took out my phone, but after using it for about 1 minute it emitted a beep and a static-y sound started coming to the speakers. Artifacts also began appearing on the screen, and it died before I could pull the battery out. Right now, it boots only until the Google logo and then it just hangs there. Sometimes green artifacts also appear. Booting into the bootloader using power + volup + voldown also results in the expected result but when I try to scroll, artifacts appear too.

Is my GNex screwed badly?

I've never used Samsung s3 or s4, so I'm curious to know if it can display pure white color. I've seen many images of s4 in internet but all of them are bluish in color.

Even in the comparision screenshots , its' bluish.

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/S...-Galaxy-S-III-vs-Lumia-920_id3286#6-Lumia-920

HTC one and Iphone 4 seems to have pure white color but gs3 n s4 are more blue.

I know these images are magnified, so I'd like to know if it can display pure white color and can we find any difference in white color of s4 and LED or other display ?

S3 is white , very comfortable white , I know what you are talking about "bluish" I compare my S3 to my friend's Note 2 and her phone has a bluish display .
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnustomp:
The S3 and S4 (and most Samsung devices) have AMOLED displays, which are known for there deep blacks and good saturation, however do not have very good color reproduction, and whites can be terrible.

LCD displays, on the other hand, have very good color reproduction, but can at times appear to be 'washed out', especially if you're used to AMOLED screens. LCD displays are often brighter than AMOLEDs.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktel3315:
first , why is this wrong thread? i'm asking question regarding S4, and it's related to display screen of s4 (so I've asked in general) I've not answered my own question, because I'm asking people what's their real experience. Because the images used in comparison are done with magnified images to give detail information, but in real life We don't see image with that detail.

Thanks , But I think Note 2 is also Super AMOLED display, so I guess that's also similar to s3 or s4.

Have you ever compared your phone display with HTC phones, because I have used htc phone and they have amazing display.

AMOLED can offer a pure black

the choice is yours. there are also colour multipliers and gamma settings you can mess with to get the perfect white/black and overall colour combination
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
A few things:

The Note 2 has noticeably better colour temperature and whites than the S3 (I have both and compared side by side a number of times). The colour reproduction of both can be considerably improved with the Perseus kernel, which has a professionally calibrated screen setting.

The S4 with the Adobe RGB mode has a measured colour temperature of around 6900 (with 6500 being ideal, as a point of reference the iPhone 5 colour temperature measures at about 7100), so its colour temperature and whites reproduction should be just fine in this mode (or the film mode, which apparently is also very good). The current HTC LCD screens (Butterfly, One) actually have very cool colour temperatures measured at about the 8000 mark, which is in fact bluer than the S3 (~7800), so the S4 in the right modes is likely to do better whites than the HTCs (and by a fair margin). I own a Butterfly and was quite surprised to see how blue the whites are beside my Note 2 on stock settings.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
I do have, but reversed. At the top of the display the white has a different tone than the one at the bottom (difficult to describe) and with gray/blue backgrounds a pinkish hue appears at the top, together with a stronger background color. It's very clear in apps like play store, currents and zite. Pretty annoying. And that's my second GS4 with the same issue (exchanged the first one as it was a lot worse)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3400396:
I seem to have this at the bottom a little bit. You really have to look closely to see it, but I think it's there. It also has to do with the auto brightness and contrast switching of the S4. You can see the intensity of the colors changing a lot whem viewing white/ gray backgrounds etc. Are you gonna exchange it again? I think I'm just gonna keep it, since I don't wanna end up with a device with a much worse problem like overheating or worse colours...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
I think in your case, as it seems it's not very noticeable, it's indeed better to keep it. I wanted to exchange again, but to do so I need to take it to samsung directly and 1) make them see the color difference (which is very difficult, these people seem to be trained to ignore any defects) and 2) wait maybe a month without the phone to get it replaced, which I can't do. Guess I'll have to keep it like that too :/
