I have a very strange issue: regardless of which browser I use I'm missing check boxes, radio buttons and combo boxes. There is no indication that there is supposed to be an input at all. If I click in the area that you would expect an input to be it seems as if I've clicked something, but there's no indication of the state of the input.
Vegan GB with Dolphin HD. I've tried Firefox,sky fire and the stock browser.
TIA

All of them. For example at the bottom of this reply page there is a 'Post Icons' fieldset filled with radio buttons with pictures beside them. When I look at this page on my gtab none of the radio buttons are there. Same thing happens with checkboxes.
I don't have a tab with me right now to post a screenshot, but that's the general idea.

Odd, I am running veganginger and am NOT seeing that on either dolphinHD or the stock browser.
Did you install a custom theme?
*Sigh*
In your browser, you need to change the setting to allow picture and flash all the time.
Also, in some text box fields, what you need to do is long press the menu button first to bring up the keyboard and then press on the text box. For example, for the search option of this thread, you have to long press the menu button to bring up the keyboard and then press the search option and then press once on the text box that appears.
If you are using dolphin HD, in the settings look at the upper right hand corner and you should see an option that reinitiate your dolphin browser. Click on that and make sure you choose all the time instead of on demand.

If reverting to stock fails, you should be able to re-flash ginger (backup first, in case I am totally wrong) without clearing data or cache or anything, which should replace all the system files with stock versions for that rom.
I'm thinking the theme thing borked some core apk/image library. Hopefully reverting will do the trick but if not, you can always take the above nuclear action

Yeah, I was thinking nuclear , but I'll try to reflash first. I didn't know I could do that. I'm using titanium backup linked to my dropbox account, so I don't see either as horrible options.

For the annoying language bar, you can opt for a better option. Use swiftkey or Smart keyboard and it will replaced the language bar with text prediction box. A lot more useful.
For me the most annoying thing is the blue theme that has got even worse and still can't be changed!!!
Other than that I'm pretty happy with the update. I might not say that in a few weeks once I've tried everything but for now I'm happy.

I've gone with anysoftkeyboard which is free and doesnt put anything on your screen.
In the 1.6 version of gmail - you could press shift+s and then select the text you wanted to copy into the clipboard.
Now that 2.1 has been released pressing shift+s just makes a cursor appear, which is fine if the x10 mini/pro had a trackball but it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to copy and paste in 2.1 gmail?
EDIT (2010,11,10) - Found Solution:
If you press and hold the shift button while selecting your text on the screen it copies to the clipboard just fine
(obviously this is only a solution if you have a mini pro)

one annoyance would be that I have to use Roadsync for Microsoft Exchange?
does anyone know how to use/install default Android 2.1 email client for exchange?
is it possible with anysoftkeboard to have an on-screen keyboard with multikeys (I mean [abc] [def] [ghi] ...)? because a whole screen keyboard in portrait mode is too small, that's why I have a minipro!

I'm not sure what you mean.. But in the gmail app you can copy text from any message (either a received, a draft or already sent) with the method that was described.
Again, i know this doesn't really help you in any way because you don't have a keyboard :-(

I now have native exchange support on my X10 mini pro.
I used root explorer to move /system/app/SemcEmailSmall.apk to my sdcard
then copied the email.apk from the link above into /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r--r--
so far so good. Doesn't look like there is an option for calendar sync but at least exchange mail works.

No it is all working perfectly. By the way I am not referring to the Task Manager coming up but to the dock buttons changing icon/app.
Might be something to do with the phone scanning the SD Card on start up for icon images, if you've set a custom icon for the apps in the dock.
Try to install everything again, maybe work.

Well that looks like stock touchwiz, so the icons can't be custom.
If what you mean is that he may have set custom apps then you might be right. If the apps that were wet are on SD, they might not be available when booting so it will pick some random ones.

Phone is completely stock. Usual "Phone", Contacts", "Messaging" and "applications" icons appear after about 30 seconds as is said above. None of these are on the SD card. It just strikes me as odd that they change and always to the same apps.
I also have the same issue, noticed it started happening only after I put exDialer and exContacts previously before reverting to stock Phone and Contacts. Haven't found a solution.
My wife has an S2 with stock ROM. It's unlocked, on a T-Mobile UK SIM. The phone is about 6 months old. There is a problem with the phone screen going blank and not responding to any button or screen presses when dialling a call. After 10-20 secs, sometimes longer, the phone starts responding again.
The problem has been around for a few months, but has got alot more frequent in the last few weeks.
The phone is running XWKI4, Kernel 2.6.35.7.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and whether there is a fix?
Save your data, do a full wipe, flash again using Odin.
You did UV?
This issue might be from how you UV. If you set the value to low, ur phone will not have enough power to run the tasks. So set value high on Set voltage tab might solve ur problem.
Just to confirm - this phone is completely out-of-the-box. It's not rooted, ROM'd, underclocked/overclocked or anything. I want it to stay that way as it's my wife's phone. I was just wondering if anyone else had these problems with a vanilla S2, and whether it may need to go back for a warranty repair?
Answer stays....
But you can try wiping using dial code first.
Save any pictures and videos on internal storage.
Re-flash what using ODIN? I didn't flash this phone in the first place. I don't want to put a custom ROM on this phone.
Who says custom ROM?
I try again, problem is you people ask but never do what told later...
Save you're picture/video
Using dialer dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe you're phone / factory reset.
If this don't help learn how to use Odin, get a stock ROM and flash using Odin.

Then which ROM should I flash? Also, if the ROM and kernel are the same as when it was purchased then why would re-flashing a ROM help?

So far you've suggested "flash again using Odin" and "try wiping using dial code first". It would really help if you could suggest something specific, and maybe leave out the cryptic comments?
How specific you want?
I even write the code which will do wiping for you.
And than I said if that fails learn how to use Odin to flash stock ROM.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry if I'm being dense, but I can't find and entry for the Phone apk in the app manager. There's "Phone Util" and "Dialer", but nothing else that looks like the phone app. Any ideas???
Are you using an alternative dialler? I had similar issues when I was using go dialler and go launcher. Uninstalled it and things were back to normal (for the most part). Check that first.
Step 2 easy way out is to reflash. You won't lose warranty etc if you do it right. Loads of tutorials available and check out samfirmware for the firmware you need to install.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Edit-have you also tried alternative diallers? Does the problem come up using them too?

She is using the stock dialer. She hasn't tried an alternative dialer, mainly because we couldn't work out a way to change the phone shortcut on the Touchwiz dock menu. This doesn't prevent us from installing an alternative dialer of course, but it the dock can't be reconfigured she will always be launching the stock dialer by mistake!
Can anyone explain how to change the default dialer, and recommend a good alternative for the S2?
We did also try rebooting the phone - several times - but the problem remains.

You can change out any of the shortcuts in the dock.
Open the app drawer, hit menu, edit, drag the icon you want to replace off the dock and into the app drawer, then drag the icon you want to be in the dock from the app drawer into the dock.

Try Touchpal contacts / dialler. I really liked that one over go dialler or dw contacts. And then, as indicated replace in the dock.
But first you need to determine if the issue presents itself in other diallers as well.

I really want to change my recent apps button to be used as a menu button. Every single app has the 3 dots in a different place. I want to able to press a single button in a centralized place and have the same action occur across every app. It's dumb they would get rid of that. Quick Settings aren't bad, either.

Email or otherwise contact the developer of the app and tell them to upgrade them to the new standard. Once they do that it will get rid of the 3 button bar at the bottom of the screen and settings should be in the right location.
OK, using hyper drive latest ROM. When going into settings and trying to switch default keyboard, it will not let me change it to anything other than the default Google keyboard even though I have swift key, kii, fleksy all checked. When it brings up the list of choices, I hit the dot to select a different keyboard and it immediately defaults to Google and won't allow any other choice. Anyone had any issues changing keyboards?
