Hey Everyone..im new here
I recently bought a GalaxyS2, and noticed something..now, just thought maybe someone to confirm this with me.
After installing an app..for example, SKYPE....
Whenever I reboot the phone, during the media scanning process, The icon tray at the bottom gets replaced by these apps I downloaded for a couple seconds during the boot up (scanning).
Is this normal? Like i mentioned..the phone icon in the lower tray, gets replaced with Skype..and after the scanning of the media is complete..it reverts back to the phone icon.
This normally happens with all 3 icons, except for the applications icon...so basically during the startup of the phone, all first 3 icons, are replaced with the 3 other app icons for a couple seconds.
Sorry for the repetition here...just thought id try make myself clear
Any feedback MUCH appreciated..
PEACE from South Africa!

Hello All,
Thanks to everyone who makes this site such a terrific resource. Can anyone tell me what the icon on the attached jpg means? I can't find it in any manual and it appears regularly. :? The icon identified by the red arrow didn't appear on the ROM that came with the phone from TMobile, or at least I never saw it for the year prior to changing ROMs.
T-Mobile USA refuses to enhance their ROM with the wireless modem feature so I got a cooked ROM from http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ (excellent site btw) and now I'm using the wireless modem feature to my hearts content with a ROM from o2.
Many thanks!
Looks like a missed call icon to me.
Thanks, but I don't think that's it
I get the phone icon with the exclamation point whenever I miss a call. I thought at one time it might be a missed call icon, but it doesn't appear when I call my cell from another line and don't answer. I don't see any connection between this icon and any particular event. It seems to occur completely at random. :?
I think this icon means the radio has just been turned is off and it appears normally as the device starts up after a soft reset and only appears for a couple of seconds as the device loads the radio and finds a connection. I think it's supposed to indicate that you can't make a voice call at this moment.
do you have IACallerID installed? thats the icon that shows when it starts up i think
BINGO! Thanks dabtran!
I just spent the last two hours researching this and came across the Caller ID 1.0 for Pocket PC help file in the windows directory. The very first paragraph describes a not ready icon that will appear. I've played with the photo contacts a bit, but I found it a pain. Anyway, I went back to the photo contacts and added a photo to a contact and an icon like the one I posted showed up only without the 'x'. Then I knew where the icon was coming from. I was just logging on to post my findings when I saw your post. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. :-D
at times callerID get closed down and restarts when that happen that icon is displayed

hey even i get this icon quiet often................. was very curious bout it . but i found out wat it is. wenever ur network in goes off in the sense ur network strenght will show 100 % but it just cuts off for a few seconds and ive noticed if u click on it it just vanishes.so du nworry.its just the network problem. it wont affect ur calls since it lasts for a very small amoutn of time . :lol:
Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Hello.
I'm having problems with my Samsung GT-I9000 ( Galaxy S 1 ), and was hoping I could get some help here.
About 4 maybe 5 months my phone has been having crashes (Is as close as I can explain them)
This is what happens:
- Talking to somebody on Whatsapp (for example, but it also crashed on me while playing games, and even when calling)
- I lock the screen and lay the phone down
- After about 2-3 seconds, the screen lights up. And shows me the conversation but does not respond
- Phone goes black for about 5 seconds
- Light vibration
- Screen shows the lock screen, loads my background and scans for media
This happens randomly about 5-10 times a day now. (Depending on how much I use the phone)
It also sometimes just turns off without any animation or sound.
What have I tried:
I first thought it was the ROM, I'm sorry if I make mistakes here but I'm a noob.
The ROM was put on there by a friend of mine, it was called Darky's ROM.
I tried to put a differed ROM on it, but the tutorials failed on me and I killed the phone. Not the "Black screen of death" but beyond that point. It wouldn't even turn on anymore.
Then I send it back to the provider, they took 2 weeks to fix it and I had my phone back. I think they put the default ROM on it but I'm not sure.
Anyhow, this did not fix the problem. As soon as I had my phone back from repair, it still crashed.
I have also updated the phone with Samsung Kies, as shown in attachment 1
Now I don't know if I should send it back again, since they couldn't fix it in the first place, or to just live with it.
The phone's "About phone" page is attachment 2
Thanks everybody for taking the time to look into this.
It's the default ROM they put on again.
I have a friend with the same phone and her's is acting so slowly for such powerful device!
Try setting up a new ROM. I know it's hard, but it's better with the no-lag fix etc...
i heard Darky's Rom is really good, but I bet there are other ROMs who are amazing.
Tutorials are kinda hard to follow for that device, but you can do it
But putting a new ROM on it didn't help.
I can believe the default slows it down, but this problem started on the Darky's rom, and is also still happening with the default.
Is not so difficult, you can change a ROM in like 10min. Try to update your phone to ICS, I'm using ICSSGS and it's blazing fast

Thanks I missed that one.
And thanks Dante for trying to help, but as I said before, changing the ROM did not help, nor updating it.
Anybody else any ideas?
...anyone?
Hello,
Old XDA'er coming back for some help
Basically I was playing around with the skins on my Desire while listening to music. Thought I'd use the Aluminium one for a while for a change and now the music widget/ shortcut doesn't show. Obviously tried changing it back but that doesn't solve the problem either. Nor does Turing it off and back on again. This wasn't bothering me until I realized that incoming calls weren't showing either! I can answer, but Caller ID does not show.
Not willing to root at the moment, too much hustle and not that bothered about changing UI or performance.
Anyone else had this problem? Thanks for any replies in advance

sometime you need a restart once you do a skin change. i have had this problem of some stuff acting funny on my hd2 android after changing skins. a reboot fixes all that does not show..
Tried turning it off and on just now. No result did a search on how to fully restart the phone and it worked! (Hold Power Button till it restarts)
Thank you. Surprised the solution was that easy. Thread can be closed now.
hi
can anyone please help me?
i have had an atrix for almost a year now and have had no issues with it. recently i took a big step and decided to get the cm10 rom by th3bill onto my atrix!
all worked fine for a few weeks until about a week ago. i noticed that my lockscreen pattern wasnt entering as normal. the pattern would not connect to the dots i wanted it to. on the main screen if i tap on the central button to get to the menu for my apps it will automatically respond my touch to the right/left icon and take me onto my contacts/sms instead. also while typing certain letters e.g "t" will not be recognised and instead "r" will show up instead.
somehow i managed to remove my pattern lock but the other issues are still present.
i thought that it may be a bug with the rom so i decided to go back to cm7.2 which was running perfectly on the phone thinking that this may be the solution, but even that rom is now giving me the same problem :crying:
can someone please advise me as to what the problem is/what i should do?
thnx in advance
Ok so i also had/have this problem. You can find a temporary solution and info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595402&postcount=1
I replaced my digitizer and the dead zone changed position.So know that replacing the digitizer might help or might not help...
Good luck
