[Fascinate General] mgmtm3:
Very happy to report that after a night of leaving the phone on jscreenfix with the brightness all the way up the problem has gone away. If it is still there at all I cannot tell.

I was reading on forums that plasma screens have a break in period where they can be prone to quicker pixel fade then normal. Of course we do not use plasma screens but I tried to use the techniques for it since both screen styles have similar symptoms.

Here is what I did. Use at your own risk.

Download jscreenfix from the market and put the screen on full brightness. Also make sure to unclick LCD saver.

When you are going to bed at night leave it on and turn it upside down (because it will light up your room otherwise) You can do this at anytime as long as you don't need your phone for at least 6 hours straight.

Make sure to place the phone on something flat that will not capture heat. If you have a case on the phone I would take it off. I did find that the phone was mildly warm in the morning, take that precaution just to be safe. I am sure the phone gets much hotter just leaving it out in the sun in summer.

The jscreenfix fix did it's thing all night, I did notice that stupid battery label popped up so you might want to go to look up how to disable that or leave it unplugged with a full charge. This needs to run for atleast 6 hours so if you do leave it unplugged make sure it will not run out of battery half way though.

For now I would say that this "fix" is for people who already have screen burn on the device. Although it might be a good idea to do to new phones to break the screen in to avoid having a higher risk of screen burn.

This is not science. If this does not work for you I am sorry. This method has worked well for me and my friends Nexus One at removing/reducing flaws we call "screen burn in." Do take note that I also ran the jscreenfix multiple times before I did the 6 hour treatment. It reduced but never fully removed the burn in. So you might have to do this two nights in a row. Always remember to only do things with your phone that you feel comfortable with. Although I do not see any glaring risks to this procedure if you are worried about anything just return the phone to Verizon if possible or deal with a bit of screen issues and hope it goes away on its own. These are great phones with the most amazing screen I have seen to date. Let's bring them back to their full glory!

Guys can you tell me what this is on my samsung mesmerize? Sorry I am new at this. But i have had my phone 3 days and i noticed it in the bottom right corner of my screen.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
Edit: this post was meant for another thread.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Whoa, that's not screen burn in, that's just plain a defective screen. I would take that back and get a replacement immediately.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
Thats called a fine excuse to have your phone replaced...
[Fascinate General] BartJJ:
I got mine the day it came out and its starting to show on mine... I'm a bit of a heavy user I suppose but after only a month or two this is unacceptable... Those of you looking for it on yours it shows on mine, like the OP said, best on green and blue... I'm starting to think I should have gotten the DX...
[Fascinate General] mgmtm3:
Trust me you don't want the droid X. My friend has one and it has a sub par screen compared to the SGS. The blacks are not really black, the colors are washed out, but the worst is the screen refresh rate. Try the Jscreenfix I posted a page back on this thread, it worked for me. You have the best phone currently on the market, the grass always seems greener on the other side.
[Fascinate General] neyenlives:
A heavy user wouldn't have anything resembling a screen burn in issue....i consider myself only a moderately heavy user and 20 minutes without messing with my phone is a long time. It gets turned off at night to charge.
[Fascinate General] BartJJ:
Well mine is most definitely burning the am pm images in the top right hand side of my screen...

And regarding the DX it just bothers me how little this great hardware is being developed on when compared even to the other galaxy s devices much less the droid series phones... I just hope that soon we get 2.2 and development takes off or I'm sadly jumping ship to the nearest moto or htc device :(

EDIT: forgot to mention I use my phone consistently from 7 am to about 12-2 am on weekdays... so I would say that I use it quite a bit needless to say I'm going to verizon tomorrow and am going to talk to them about it and likely swap my phone and come home and spend an hour and a half redoing everything...fun

Just thought I'd share the dock I made with you guys. It's made out of Lego. I don't know why I wasted so much time making it, probably because of upcoming exams. But yeah, tell me what you think.

I installed it about 3 days ago and im having problems now that it will not come out of sleep mode. i press the hard buttons and they light up and the shut off and the phone becomes unresponsive. I have to pull the battery to get it to work and it will boot its original OS. Sorry for all the problems this is the first time i have done this to the phone.. any and all help will be appreciated:confused:.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsucoug09:
Is there a possibility of getting the new Samsung Captivate lockscreen on the EVO? It's a neat little lockscreen if you havent seen it. It is a little puzzle piece that you place in the correct spot to unlock. Looks cool. can we get this working?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Holy crap you're from Vancouver? I use to live there. 05-09. I miss it...Not sure about the lockscreen though. What does it look like?

I would like this also. I have an Evo and love it, but I had an Evo for a couple of weeks before I told AT&T to shove their limited data plan. Anyway, I really like the puzzle piece lockscreen and I'd like to get it on my Evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] {SBR}_L3GION:
I also like the lockscreen it actually changes depending on if you have a notification or not. like for a message its a certain puzzle piece and I believe you can just slide something if you dont have any notifications. I dont remember exactly how it worked a friend of mine has one and as soon as i saw the lockscreen I thought it was awesome.

From first look - a lot of debug options are disabled that were enabled in SGS config.

Edit: Also memory assignments are different, somewhere higher, somewhere lower ... On average I think number would be similar.

On general at least in config so far the difference seems bigger then I would expect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] huxflux2003:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WoutH:
I'm actively experimenting with newer builds everytime they come out. But I can't help to experience some sort of slow-/sluggyness with Sense builds?

It also seems that the Sense builds aren't that highly customizable as non-sense builds are? I might be just not that much of a sense-fan (however I really liked it under WinMo), but since I see lots of phones, in the screenshot topic, running sense builds, I was wondering if I might do something wrong (;))?

Sense over non-Sense:

[+] Nice HTC Widgets

[+] Nice Clock/looks

non-Sense over Sense:

[+] Highly Customizable (especially with ADW.Launcher)

[+] Seems faster (to me that is, subjective of course!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] burpingboy:
SENSE FTW!

i've tried non-sense (not nonsense though, just personal preference) builds b4, but i couldn't get pass the plain contacts which can't really link from here to there.

the HTC People seamlessly links your contacts to emails and facebook and twitter and whatsapp accounts, and the ability to view the facebook albums using HTC gallery as though the pictures were in the phone.

Plus the decently nice weather widgets, friends stream widget, and the multilanguage supported keyboard with handwriting tools for Chinese input, etc etc.

I vote for Sense because it makes Sense!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andrewf403:
I'm pro sense, because of its contact manager and dialer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w1naenator:
I don't like sense builds. But non-sense builds freezes will kill me..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WoutH:
I've came across some weird crashes with Sense builds. Sometimes SetCPU would crash, or even Sense would crash and reboot.

I also like the fact that in non-Sense builds it is possible to change the DPI, probably also possible in Sense builds but I haven't found out how yet..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] acky85:
I cant use sense builds. Id prefer them but every single one I have tried has a screwed up contacts directory. Every contact is duplicated about 6 times.

Saying that I do love the non sense and the amount I can customize it. There are things I like and dislike about both
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] funky81:
Below are my conclusions regarding sense vs non sense

Disadvantages of Sense are

[+] Have a nice looking of "Sense"

[-] Camera only 3M,if there's 5M,it usually have camera premature

[-] Unreliable connection and most of all PPP based

Disadvateges of Non Sense (CM Based) are

[+] Stable connection of data,usually use RMNET

[+] Good camera (dont have premature flash)

[-] G-Sensor dont working very well,sometime freeze

[-] Cant use automatic backlight because light Sensor not working well
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tranquillo:
non-sense builds!

i started using android with sense-builds. after some times i got tired of switching from one screen to another, so i reduced ist to only 4, 3 and so on.

now i'm on a non sense build with adw-launcher. i can use more shortcuts, use other apps and have all i want in 3 screens.

adw-launcher is awesome, very stable and gives you so much possibilities!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Don001:
Well I'm for sense i guess, used both and come to the conclusion that I bought the HTC HD2 for the look of the GUI, and i can't draw myself away from it, its pretty customisable and the build I'm currently using it brilliant, no lag, no sod, superb!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmhecker:
I love the sense widgits and UI and such, but I absolutely hate the Sense dialer and contacts setup. I much prefer AOPS or Wysie's contacts and dialer setup, and if I could figure out how to get them working in Sense, I would totally have the best of both worlds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] psykick5:
Does it matter which is better? We as HD2 users have the liberty of choosing between many different builds and that is what makes it the best phone ever.

For the record, I use both.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TruePlaya:
sense with no sense

I´m also experiencing overall slowdown when using sense, particularly in desktop swipeing. But on the other hand sense brings good keyboard, dialer, sync and widgets.

So I decided to go the "Darkstone"-way - using sense ROM with LauncherPro as desktop UI. SenseUI does not even load which saves up good memory.

My experience with that combination is very good.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WoutH:
Nope, it doesn't matter at all. I just wanted to discuss the pros and cons of both UIs. It's nice to have a discussion about it, so people can read up and have a decent overview of the differences between the two type of builds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] psykick5:
I enjoy having both hand generally use the one that gives better battery life.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SpacemanGep:
I started out with non-sense builds, but I find the sense ones to be a little more stable (They're the ones where the compass works well and freezes are minimal). I don't really like the Sense UI though so I run ADW on top of it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Don001:
If you don't like the Sense, why did you buy the HD2? That was the main selling point of this phone when released, the ease of use and beauty that sense provided!

But I do agree with you that sense builds are a little more stable and freeze free when it comes to the build I'm using, I can honestly say hand on heart, for two weeks now I've had 0 freezes!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
Everything you stated is incorrect right down to the weather widget.

I know you didn't do it on purpose but I have never seen a more blatantly wrong series of statements. :)

I use HyperDroid (Non-sense) and my contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc, etc.

I actually have and use the same weather widget as sense BUT I can change my weather icons and it does more than just show me the weather. :eek:

Freinds streaming is certainly available also... I use the facebook widget. I dont know about chinese characters but i dont need them either. However there are other languages that are supported. :D

To each his/her own... but at least lets have the real info.

Cheers. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mrbox23:
I'm using cyanogen builds hyperdroid1.6 and bangsters1.5. I have tried a lot of builds and cyanogen stuck out over sence aesthetically and was more stable. I did enjoy sence dialler until I discovered dialler one in the bangsters build. I'm not giving up on sence once a good one rolls out that can please my demands as good or better than cyanogen or stock froyo it will have a home on my SD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] burpingboy:
Well, after reading your post, and experiencing unresolvable errors with com.htc.bgp force close due to HTC Facebook syncing, i've decided to give non-sense another try. This time it's bangster 1.5, still downloading.

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] burpingboy:
seems like this has been dormant for quite some time...

After using bangsters 1.5 for like 2 weeks, i've decided to switch back to M-deejay's evo sense 1.8 revolution with the latest Hastarin 7.6 kernel to try again.

Some of my findings:

Sense wins in terms of:

Facebook link to contacts:-

Sense: manual linking is alot more simple and user-friendly

Non-Sense: have to rename contacts to be exactly same as facebook, otherwise manual linking is possible but very tedious: contacts, settings, edit contacts, join, find facebook contact, confirm, back, back, back, and if any mistakes, have to separate and re-join.

Dialer:-

Sense: predictive t9 + phone no. dialer showing facebook display pictures fine

Non-Sense: default phone dialer no predictive t9, but shows facebook pics; Dialer One with predictive t9, but no predictive phone no., and facebook display pictures does not show

Default email app

While there are dedicated email apps for Gmail and Yahoo Mail, the default email app on Non-Sense builds is really restrictive, you cannot move mails between folders, you can't even retrieve your mails that you accidentally deleted but still in the trash folder. But these could be solved by 3rd party apps like K9.

but Non-Sense wins in terms of:

Customizability:-

Non-Sense: Best part of Non-Sense is its customizability. From changing LCD density, and choosing one out of so many launchers, customizing the themes and looks of your phone, no. of rows and columns, smooth transition from portrait to landscape, setting soft buttons, shortcuts, folders, drawers, etc.

Sense: somehow most of the sense widgets (weather, email, sms, friendstream, news) are oversized, takes up a full page, and cannot customize the size.

Alot of other things like camera 5mp, overclocking, battery, screen freezes, sods, etc are dependent on roms, builds and kernels, so i won't use those as a comparison between sense and non-sense.

Both are good in their own way, and i'm just glad that i'm using a HD2 which allows me to experience the best of both worlds!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sethxp:
Use original Nokia charger that is rated 5V 550mA and your phone will last 30-40 percent longer.

Original SE charger is rated at 5V 850mA, fast charge is not always good.

Tested on X10mini, X10mini pro, X10/2pcs in our service center.

Best regards

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
Hey Seth - Thanks for the tip.

Can you explain why charging slower would affect the overall battery life?

Also, in that case would it be even better if you charged the phone from a usb port (like plugging it into your laptop) which often provides 100-500mA?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sethxp:
Google for "Battery Chargers and Charging Methods" first link for all info about charging schemes and battery chemistry reaction with fast charge and alot of usesfull info.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
Just had a quick google -

Fig3 here is a nice graph showing the how fast charging can reduce the overall battery life during the battery lifetime:

http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm

This is probably my misunderstanding, but when i read this post originally i thought it was some way to improve battery life as in prolonging the time it takes between needing to charge.. if that makes sense?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sethxp:
partly yes partly no, your link describes charging with higher voltage decreases battery life this is different because voltage is same but current different

example: 3 chargers, our battery is 800mAh in capacity.

5v 400mA - battery charged in 2 hours from 0% to 100% internal chemistry react normal - better absorbtion

5v 850mA - battery charged in little less than 1 hour internal battery chemistry can be little upset cos risen temperature in reaction

5v 8000mA - battery cant quickly absorb this current in chemistry and will propably explode/leak/burn within minutes/seconds

this principle i mean

Hello good people of XDA, I wish to share with you my joy; my samsung fascinate is arriving today. I was wondering, what I should do first. So, many questions;

What should I do with the battery? (Do I charge it all the way first?, etc.)

Now that voodoo has arrived, has the rooting changed?

Is the dock actually worth it?

What android apps should I d/l?

Thank you.
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
you can do whatever you want with the battery. whatever you believe will help it last longest.

no rooting is still the same, voodoo is just installed via clockwork

not sure about the dock

launcher pro if you want something other than touchwiz, root explorer or titainum backup is nice too
