Phosphorus is not radioactive, infact it's quite the wonder element. It's used in applications such as softening water, used to remove impurities from glass, used as fertiliser, heck you piss it out as the substance is formed in your body in the kidneys when removing contaminants.

I haven't watched the video but since it's that same woman who was bothered about staining when the device was being handled by hundreds of people, I have little faith in what she says anyway.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
I'm no paid Samsung troll. If anything, I'm a bit of a Sony fan. I didn't want to make a huge deal out of this to scare people, hence the lame title etc. I just wanted to know if there really is a harmful substance used in the screen.

Yes I'm perfectly aware that Phosphorus isn't radioactive in itself and its a necessity to life and its being wasted when we pee in a toilet, thus degrading the soil unnecessarily. But there are isotopes that are radioactive and that some harmful phosphorus substances have been used in for example watches that illuminate the hands in the dark. This was later deemed dangerous to eyesight.

One misconception I want to clear: Although Erica might be a "bit" neurotic, or maybe just because of that, she certainly knows her nitbits. She never said anything about the phosphorus being dangerous. It just rang in my ear. She stated at 5:34 that they used red and green phosphorus and a blue backlight. The Triluminos tech is explained in the video so that a blue backlight excites the red and green phosphorus and so they get a wide color gamut. I'm no physicist but maybe someone else can explain this better. Basically the problem is not that it would ill you from your bedside table, but when the display is on, whatever the phosphorus is emitting when excited (be it radioactive or only light) is going straight to your eye. If you use this technology for several hours a day for years its bound to affect something, IF there are any effects to be had. I'm not trying to cause a panic or steer people away from buying this (I have mine on preorder too), I would just want to understand what this is.

I'm not completely sure but I think that traditional LEDs don't use this kind of technology and they use regular diodes with no phosphorus in them.

Thoughts? Physicists that could explain this?
[Xperia Z2 General] feis:
Jeesus dude stop being so psichotic. I mean with all current regulations and safety requirements do you really think a company size of sony would use something harmful to human beings? Maybe you should worry about GM foods you ingest everyday, instead of such trivial things.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
I'm in no way psychotic, wtf?! Many have used harmful stuff. We still don't know if cell phone radiowaves are harmful in the long run. Also electrical equipments create magnetic fields that affect us. You are deluded to think that no-one would produce anything harmful either by not knowing it is or knowingly. Jfyi, I try not to eat GM-foods but if I didn't eat them at all, life would be really hard. I just don't fret about it. Usually I don't fret about things at all, this just sounded very weird to me. And this is not a trivial thing to me, I value my eyesight thank you very much. I've been grown to think light emitting phosphorus is harmful. Same way if you heard that something had asbest in it, you would go inhaling it right away, right?
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
lol made my day! +1
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
Yes ......I am inhaling right now.....& boy is it good.......
[Xperia Z2 General] feis:
I mean we live in such a world that you cannot possibly avoid everything that maybe harmful to you, and there are many unclear things and their effects to human in todays technology, and i can guarantee you no one in this forum can give you answers for your question with proof or say medical experments, so just go for other phone if you are that worried about this stuff. For me this is trivial, and i have bigger problems than worrying about something i know nothing about and just heard a single word about it in a single review. Ps english is not my native language, i probably meant paranoid not psychotic.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
This is exactly it, if the phone screen emitted UV radiation (which is what I believe you're thinking of) there would be warnings in place explaining if it did and the amount it would output. Not only that but even if the diodes had enough power to emit UV radiation, there is a glass panel in the way and if you didn't know already, glass blocks upto 99.99% of UV light, an example of such is when you see someone who wears transition glasses, the glasses don't transition when in side of the car, even if strong sunlight is shinning through simply because the windows are blocking UV light.

Our phones aren't equipped with flashbangs, they aren't going to blind us.

As for radiation in general, all elements have radiation isotopes, most naturally found elements are those that have decayed from another element and become stable since the half-life becomes in the millions of years range.
[Xperia Z2 General] schecter7:
Hey OP, It's phosphor - not phosphorous. Plasma and many other displays use those.In fact, Panasonic's VT/ZT series use fast switching phosphors and those are simply the best TVs in the market. They are not harmful as long as you don't break the glass and start poking at them with your finger. Same thing applies to batteries. You can chillax now.
[Xperia Z2 General] numskull:
I like how you mentioned "some form of", im no businessman but im pretty sure that a global company, creating a product for a global market, are NOT going to use banned substances in said product...... im assuming they used "some other form of"......... besides sony are so far in the red, they aint gonna risk anything that means they may have to pay out
[Xperia Z2 General] ste1164:
As schecter7 said its phosphor not phosphorus. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/legal/testresults/xperia-z2/#best-display http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/tv6.htm quick guide on how they work in old CRT monitors. Phosphors and phosphorus are two different things. I haven't heard the video but she either mispronounced it or you misheard.
[Xperia Z2 General] HeartUnderBlade:
OP, please watch the video again. She mentions at 5:35 that they use "red and green PHOSPHOR" (so no, she didn't mispronounce it. You just misheard it). Despite sharing a similar name, they are both different. Phosphorus emits light using chemiluminescence while phosphor does not. Stop worrying so much but if you want, you're more than welcome to not buy the device and tell your friends to not buy it. Less demand = more stock for other people wanting the phone!
[Xperia Z2 General] TheOnlyIntruder:
That's even better then, there is no need to worry at all now :)

[MENTION=1484354]Publicglutton[/MENTION] I'm so jealous mate, been so long since been able to partake :crying:

Damn so that means I can't start a class action lawsuit against Sony on behalf of irradiated spermatozoa everywhere, pity as I already "knocked off" a few samples for the suit :confused::victory::p
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
The chemical element is phosphorus, not phosphoroUs. English is not my native language so I don't know what they call what. Where I'm from phosphor would probably be the name for both of them. Phosphorus was the first wiki article I found when searching for phosphor so I figured she mispronounced it. It seems it is a phosphor that is used, which is a general term for luminescent substances. Now I'm not sure which phosphorous substance was used back in the day but I think what is used now is safe.

I heard it right the first time, I thought she mispronounced it. They are different terms for different things like I explained above. And actually its the other way around of what you said. Phosphor substances (there are tons) emit light, phosphorus, the chemical element (there is only one) does not. It would make no sense to use a non-light-emitting substance in a display, don't you think?

Yes, but misses happen.

I have made my peace with this. The phosphors used nowadays are not harmful. I'm still holding strongly on my preorder and hope to get it soon. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] HeartUnderBlade:
I understand English is not your first language so I won't argue with you. However, I never said Phosphor doesn't emit light. I said Phosphor does not emit light through chemiluminescence which is what Phosphorus is. Phosphorus emits light through a chemiluminscent reaction when white phosphorus oxidizes in moist air.

So no, it is exactly as I said and not the other way around. The "other way around" would be saying that phosphor emits light through a chemiluminscent reaction which is false. Emitting light through a chemiluminscent reaction is what phosphorus does.

Read the last line before the table of contents:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

Read the first point in Gas-phase reactions section:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiluminescence

Hopefully you don't take this comment as being too defensive but I felt the need to correct you who tried to correct me lol. Although I do apologize, the way I worded it made it sound like I said phosphor does not emit light especially to someone who may not have English as their native language.
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
No harm done. I stand corrected. :) Honestly I wouldn't have known this even if English was my first language and I don't think that was the problem here (we use similar sentence structures). I didn't pay enough attention to what you said. I just read -luminescent (didn't know there were so many types of luminescence) and that phosphor doesn't emit light. Also I thought phosphorus doesn't emit light, but apparently it does, although not by itself. Sorry.

PS. Ironically, phosphorus is not a phosphor. Hehe. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronhu:
Upon having converted a SHW-M250S to I9100 (unrooted) I stuck for days now to look for solutions to get fully functional GSM SIMs working on the phone which had no problem with the same SIMs before conversion.

The actual data are:

Model: GT-I9100

Version: 4.1.2

Baseband: M250S.UB23.0933.ST

Kernel: 3.031-1497824

Just by chance I discovered that a SIM pin change solves the problem, which however is not quite convenient, as it is required upon every system start.

Basically the phone starts, no SIM pin request comes up and hence does not register the SIM at the network (IMEI shows correctly upon *#06') AND there is no way to add an APN (just does not save any new entry).

As soon as a SIM pin change has been confirmed by the system it registers at the network and works fine until restart.

Do you know any cure for such behavior?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronhu:
Solved

The cure was simple: just switching off the PIN entry requirement and the phone registers immediately upon start-up!

[Galaxy Note II General] jamtholee:
So essentially, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation:

I have a Vodafone UK GT-N7105.

I had stock ROM, before I rooted it and bricked it in the process. I then restored it to a similar (but I suspect different ROM):

AP: N7105XXUEMK9

CP: N7105BUUEMK2

CSC: N7105VFGEML1

The question I have, is that I'm fairly certain that I should be able to update to KitKat now, but neither OTA or Kies3 show anything.

To add to even more confusion, I've switched networks from Vodafone to O2 (UK), now.

Have I reflashed my device with a different firmware which means that I can't get any more OTA updates?

Otherwise, which firmware version would I be able to flash my device to get it "back on track"?
[Galaxy Note II General] AntwnhsAnt:
I'm pretty sure Samsung hasn't released 4.4.2 for N7105 (the lte version) yet! The firmware is only available for the N7100. You have to wait...

Sent from my GT-N7105
[Galaxy Note II General] jamtholee:
Hmm... I called Samsung up, and they told me that KitKat was released for my phone (I gave them S/N and IEMI)... but I s'pose they could just thought I had a N7100 instead of a 105
[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
Tip 1: Questions go in the Q&A thread.

Tip 2: Here is the easiest was to find the latest stock firmware

Tip 3: Setup a Google alert for new content. Use "n7105 site:www.sammobile.com" (without quotes)

Have a nice day.

[Samsung Galaxy Star] a.cid:
What is warez?

Applications/themes/games/icon packs etc which require a user to purchase them before using, when these are distributed without requiring payment, it is called warez.

Off late, we had to do cleanup of several threads which were distributing or discussing warez. A reminder to all, we simply do NOT tolerate distributing paid apps for free on XDA. This is a community of people who make such apps/games, and warez distribution hurts the very community that we aim to serve.

If you haven't already, please do read the forum rules. Failure to comply will lead to an infraction/ban.

What to do if a thread is distributing warez/breaking any other forum rule?

The best way to deal with such an issue is to use the yellow triangle button found on the top of every post. This is an anonymous way to alert us (moderators) to possible rule violations, and then we can take corrective action. Avoid posting in the thread pointing the rule violation (for eg, "Hey bro, that is warez. Remove it or I will complain!") as this often escalates into members fighting each other, and we do not want that.

Simply report and move on. We will deal with it.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Full wipe:

Boot to cwm recovery

Reset data/factory reset (also wipes cache)

Advanced->Wipe dalvik cache

Mounts and storage->format \system

Install zip from sdcard etc. to flash rom & gapps.

-----

Umm, cm roms aren't meant to be flashed via odin. You should only use odin to flash custom recovery, in this case clockworkmod and with it you flash the cm rom. Other recoveries aren't suggested either, since they may cause issues themselves too.

Also it's recommended use these gapps http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip instead of anything else, example PAgapps have some issues with some use-cases.

No issues = ok to use anything you like. Issues = test with the right stuff.

FIRST do a wipe data/user BEFORE you install the M version - otherwise you will get a corrupt CM version

There are difference between Nightly and M edition

Yeah,

That's why I couldn't restore normally yesterday.
