Did any one encounter the Home Screen as in the attach file.
I have use a external battery connected to the S2 thru the connector. But some how i got this screen activated. I am running Android 2.3.6. Kernal version 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814816
That is the desk clock.
I have a dock with line out. When I connect to it this screen appears also.
You can access it any time by going through the clock app

I just got a Samsung Fascinate Desktop Dock after I installed the OTA Froyo update first, and was successful. When I dock the phone, it automatically goes to the App, and put it into NIGHT mode, after a minute or so it goes into screensaver mode OK but the "Floating Time & Date" is so bright it lights up the whole bedroom. It says on the enclosed flyer you can "customize" but there is NO SETTING button on top right of screen, like the flyer says. In gointo phone settings - applications, the crade app says Version 1.0 Is there an upgrade or fix?
It seems that a new landscape mode app was included in the new update. Is there a chance I could get that apk ripped?

Is there no way to get it?
This drives me absoulty bonkers, that the phone doesn't turn landscape. I can understand they don't want to program the widgets to do that. But all I want is one screen while I'm at work that will turn landscape that will give me some basic info. Mainly email and a couple of widgets. This is my biggest frustation with this phone.
I would like to get this apk too. I have a stock rom, first OTA update and nothing for landscape mode installed. I had my phone in some weird mode after plugging in a car charger. The car dock app came up and when I hit the home button, I got the home screen. Turned the phone landscape and the home screen turn landscape. Every screen was able to turn to landscape now but when I made a call, the speaker phone enabled automatically. My phone was this way even after killing the car dock app. I thought there was some update to allow landscape but after pulling the battery, no more auto speaker phone (what I wanted) but the landscape mode was gone too. Has anyone else seen this?
I probably know this may be a hardware issue, but wondering if anyone has found a remedy--did a search and cannot seem to find if anyone is experiencing the same problem(s).
Bought used SGS2 that had Cognition 1.6 on it, Flashed Checkrom HD, Flashed back to stock JI3 w/ new bootloader and left un-rooted.
-Screen turns on after screen timeout (15 seconds or 30 seconds)
-Changed to pin unlock--same thing--turns on and remains on
-Screen won't go black/back to screen timeout
-If i push the power button, screen turns off, then after about 20 seconds or so, screen turns back on and stays on
All reboots remain the same, pulled battery, remains the same--screen comes back on. Completely drains the battery
Any ideas? ????
I'm afraid i don't have a warranty and i've already tried contacting this pitiful seller...

Update: 12/1/11
- Replaced USB Flex cable purchased from ebay, but it was version 2.1 instead of 2.2 that i replaced
- Issues of screen randomly staying on is for the most part, gone, except i've woken up to the screen being on a couple times w/ a text message (and screen stayed on)
- Cannot connect to USB via download mode anymore
- Cannot connect to PC (states unrecognized)
- I get random "Back button" presses while using an App or the browser--sometimes multiple times where it goes back to the home screen
- Charging is slow and only reporting "Charging USB"
- Purchased another one from a different Ebay supplier--hopefully, it's version 2.2

Update: 12/12/11
- Replaced with 2.2 revision flex cable from ebay seller yqmama
- Cleaned flex cable connections on main PCB with electronics cleaner
- Charging is now saying AC when plugged in
- Download mode and Recovery via USB work flawlessly
- No other problems seem to be apparent, except the back button went crazy once since replacement
- Seems that the phone is now ready for daily use
My guess would be a rogue app causing it. Have you checked what's waking the phone? Something like BetterBatteryStats should be able to help you pinpoint it, if that is indeed the cause.
If that's not it, at any point have you tried factory resetting the phone?
If you're using JuiceDefender, make very sure you disable the timeout function. It's known to turn on screen by itself.

I literally have no apps installed after i did a factory reset, and i formatted usb storage. I can try betterbatterystats, but i feel like i'm almost at a loss.
Update:
-Installed CM7 nightlies and random screen turning off and on went away, but new problem--capacitive buttons would not work
-Installed CheckRom 3.3.1 and all was going fine 11/15/11
-Installed apps (didn't use TiBackup) from market
-Installed theme from KitchenPro (ICS Domination)
-Added widgets from homescreen (added SamsungWeatherClock--i.e. accuweather)
-Went home, connected via Wifi
-Saw screen turn off and on several times
-Used Watchdog--came up with Event/O and Suspend as acting up
Are these what is causing my screen to wake and stay on sometimes??
updated 1st post w/ findings thus far after replacing USB Flex cable (charge port)
Have a very similar problem as you describe with a water damaged Galaxy S2. I replaced the USB flex cable and it solved the problem I was having with the phone refusing to stay off. However, the screen will not turn off, when I briefly press the power to turn the screen off, it goes off for a second and then it turns back on. I am going to be replacing the home button flex cable when the part arrives. When I open it up to do that, I will be cleaning more parts in hopes I can solve the screen-no-stay-off problem that I'm having.
****UPDATE.
Used a bit more contact cleaner on some of the areas I had overlooked, put it back together and the screen's behaving nicely.
Hi all,
Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.
The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...
Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?
Until my S4, I have pretty much been a Moto phone owner. I did have a brief fling with a Thunderbolt but that phone was god awful.
Whenever I docked any of my moto devices (D1, Bionic, RAZR MAXX) depending on what kind of dock it went in, the phones would just enter the correct dock mode. I had it set that when in my desktop dock Alarm Clock Plus would come to the front and be the active application. When in car mode, G Maps would become the active app.
I have purchased the official Samsung multimedia desktop dock as well as the official Samsung vehicle dock. When I dock to either of them, nothing special happens at all. The phone will light up the lock screen when it sees the power applied, but aside from that, 30 seconds later the screen turns back off no matter what app is running (exceptions being navigation (not just maps) and alarm clock plus. If in either docks, something like Slacker will run fine but the screen turns off at the defined times. This is not how things worked with any of my motos. This is a rather annoying problem especially with the car dock as I am constantly going to fiddle with the screen to get G Maps back to being visible. I don't like the idea of having to manually change the screen timeout every time I use the phone in my car as I *know* one time I will forget to turn the screen timeout back to normal and when I reach to use my phone the battery will be dead.
Is there a way to get the screen to stay on when docked? Is there a way to have a default app launch when docking in a specific dock? I know I could have disabled whatever sammy program manages the docks, but I have not disabled anything which has dock in the name (not that I even see one).
I have searched the forums, but my lame searches did not turn up anything.
