Hi All
Total Android noob question. I have received my new Galaxy S2 (P) and updated to ICS via Keis. All went well and I'm starting to get to know the phone. (Been a Winmo user up 'til now) Anyway I have noticed that sometimes a red frame around the screen briefly flashes when moving between apps or doing other stuff. The phone seems to be functioning correctly and is certainly fast. I'm sure this "flashing" wasn't there initially so is there something I should be aware of or is this "normal" Any advice gratefully received

I had the same problem on my Galaxy S II & found the solution on another forum so not my solution...
menu/settings/developer options/.... & uncheck strict mode enabled.
This fixed it for me.
Thanks ericb. I had also found the same answer on another forum and it has worked. Thanks again
Just found this, Thanks a lot. Didn't think it first helped on my HTC One X, but after a restart the red frame is finally gone
Thanks ericb
Thanks man, it work after restarting my phone.. i've unchecked and checked for so many times previously.. lol noob me

Hey Com,
I got some problems with my u20i x10 Mini Pro. It was stuck in some boot loop like 1 month ago and I tried to reflash it with SEUS and this flaher App thing thousands of times. I did not have a little bit of success so i gave it up 3 weeks ago. Since then i had my phone laying under my desk without the battery. Today I decided to try it again and, GOD KNOWS WHY, it started up normally. So i finished the startup wizard and everything worked fine. Then i rooted it with superoneclick (my phone had A.0.6 FW), rebooted and everything worked just fine. Then I wanted to sign in to my wireless network and for some reason it did not work, but whatever. After like half an hour my phone started lagging really hard and suddenly the screen went black. I tried to push all the buttons and the screen went bright for a very little while and went black again. And this point it was like it was turned off. So i tried to turn it on and, guess what, its stuck in a boot loop! YAY! Now my phone is lying in front of me and all i can see is the only white SONY ERICSSON logo.
Seriously what has happened? Anyone knows how to fix that?
Thanks in advance, Martin.
UPDATE:
Now I am facing a new problem. My device turns "on", I can see the white SE logo, then the screen goes black but for some odd reason the touchscreen is reacting at the lower left and right parts of the screen. I can even dial a number (i hear the beeps) when I press twice at the lower left corner and then tapping at the display. But well, i guess thats not how the phone should work. So did any one also face this problem? Do you have a solution for that?
Anyway, Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards, Martin.

Using profanity is one thing, but using it in the topic? Surely a 99% ignore from most members!
Id go back and edit your posting if you are actually capable of using better language!
Nochances,
Wow, you must be one big loser, your first post is to criticise someone the way the lay out a question script.

I'm sorry if i offended you in any way but at the time posting this i was really stressed out. And i apologize for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker since I'm from Austria.
Have a nice Day, Martin.
Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.
Assuming you are running unrooted device & stock/OEM ROM's - correct?
Best of luck !
Oh, OK, thanks! the device is rooted( z4root method, OK in 1st chance, no problems) and the Fw is an original upgrade from viewsonic....

Hey lads, so ive been here on this forum for a long time and got a LOT of resources for my note and other phones so thank you ALL for that over the years. Now onto my problem. I started having the reboot problem where it will automatically reboot after a few seconds of booting up. I know there are threads concerning this and the usual suspect is the power button, concerning which I have messed with it, cleaned it, kissed it, caressed it, (ok seriously now) i shaved it down a bit so it wont be making unnecessary contact. I even removed the button completely. The first time i did it it seemed to work for a couple days but then it started again. I saw threads indicating it could be a battery issue as well so i ordered a new oem battery and unfortunately that didnt work either. Im just about ready to toss it (no warranty) but i thought i'd put this out there in case any 'higher level' users here may have any final insight to give me before i do that. I always appreciate advice and help of any sort so I'll go ahead and thank you all in advance
Thanks! :laugh:
looking forward to hearing from u lads.
Edit: oh and it doesn't happen in recovery or download mode. It just stays on no problem. I have flashed new and original roms, kernels, recoveries using odin etc. all to no avail
Hello,
I'm looking for some help with my son's sgh-i757m phone. I'll try layout my history on the phone and question in some hopefully easy layout.
What I did
at my son's request, I changed the stock rom on my son's sgh-i757m (Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE) for him. He wanted to be able to install apps and customize his phone as he wished. i installed the paranoid android rom for him successfully.
Problem
Once installed he began losing cell phone network connection. This progressively got worse and now it barely works.
My troubleshooting
I tried installing other custom rom's to see if this would resolve the problem. Nothing seems to work. The present rom I have which is Dadoes. This one seems to work the best BUT i only get signal within 1 block of the cell phone tower. (oh ya... i live in a small town where we only have two cell towers in the valley here.)
I tried researching terminal commands to boost the radio signal but I haven't found anything for the sgh-i757m.
I've also done the *#*#4636#*#* trick... nothing... i've installed network boosters but those don't do anything.
What Haven't I done
I haven't tried to install a different radio rom... (maybe I did, but in my research there isn't an explanation if this is different from the OS rom).
I haven't tested whether it is a hardware issue as I don't know how
What I am asking
Can I get help regarding radio roms; is this different from OS rom's? if it is different... where do I find them and more information on this?
Can I get help on steps to test my hardware to see if this is the issue?
Any pointers if I am missing anything?
Thank you... oh and this is my first post.
I'm out of lurking and posting now.
Respectfully,

HI buddy , welcome to our section .
Now your problem, did you tried to reflash the stock ROM back after you saw that your phone is having problems to see if the problem is solving?
I did took a search on this forum and I found this thread :

Fixed - sgh-i757m connection problem
Well... thank you for your reply. I didn't have a backup of my son's original rom but my daughter just broke her phone and it was exactly the same. So, I thought I would back her's up then put it on my son's. What she did was break her screen. So, I thought I could swap screens or parts to make this work. I was able to take my daughters apart and was able to take my son's apart. In taking apart my son's phone, I found that the attenae cable wasn't attached to it's connector. So I plugged that in then tested and voila! It works!! pheew!! Was getting worried that I was losing my mind (maybe I did?).
Thank you for your help. I did do the custom roots and roms. Now my son can choose which one he wants!
Respects,
KrustyQ-tip
So I have looked on Google for a solution but I don't exactly know what my problem is called, which makes finding an answer difficult.
We have several note 2's at the place where I work. One of our employees recently (last week or so?) updated to Android 4.3 Stock (he has always been stock). Now he is getting a very strange popup on his screen, the screen will not lock and almost every time you hit the power button, it shuts the phone off. I have attached a photo of the popup
Any suggestions? This is a new one on me!
Thanks in advance!!

Thank you sir that does!!! I appreciate your help!
Did it work?
Warranty
I did not actually try it. Know that I know what the problem is (and because his phone is not already rooted) we decided that the best course of action is to just get a warranty replacement for it.
I have never seen this issue before and after reading through that link you gave me, I am assuming the verizon update corrupted the phone.
But I am thankful for your help! I would have spent a lot more time trying to figure out what was going on with the phone without your help!
Haha... I just assumed it was rooted. Glad I could help ya a bit. Be well.
