For alot of people, just having a Thunderbolt is great without rooting. I got a plain old Thunderbolt but I still need to ask some questions about some stuff.
So are you asking questions or answering question?
Just making a thread for us regular phone users who don't intend to root.

How do you get the compass off the top of the screen ?
I'm unrooted...I have a question. During the day in the office, my TB screen is clear and bright, however when I walk outdoors...(smoke break), the screen tends to get much darker and almost unreadable. Is there a setting somewhere to solve this?
thanks all....

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you're not, my apologies. Its just the LCD screen. Take any device out in direct sunlight and viewing the screen is difficult. There aren't any fixes or settings. Sorry.

It reminds me of the Kindle commercials on TV...hoping there was a fix.
thanks again
Yeah, it sucks. But its just one of those things that is out of our control.

That just means your GPS is on. Not active but on. If it was active you would see the little dish (half moon) symbol and the lines that move away from it.
You cant remove it
/agree - I came here with one purpose: to learn as much as I can about hacking the hell out of my new toy.

My intention is to root but I am reading all I can before jumping in an doing it. I am not a geek, so am trying to learn what I can. Where better to learn than on a developer's forum? After reading that Verizon may be coming after the rooters, I am now a little hesitant.
Hope this answered your question.

'Cause its where you find the best and brightest. Where else would you wanna be?
For people who know their phone, If you have questions about them or just want to hang out with other people with your phone this is the place to be.
I thought this was the place to ask questions. Sorry. Where should we go instead ???
Linux USB tethering?
Ok, this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while (eris, now TB).
Has anyone been able to get the HTC built-in "internet connection mode" tethering to work on Linux? Using Ubuntu 10.04, Network Manager recognizes the phone as a modem, but can't connect to anything. Nothing in the browser, can't even ping by IP. I know there is a driver/HTC sync software it uses on windows - is there any way to make this work in Linux? Perhaps using ndiswrapper?
I've googled my fingers off and can't find anything related.

Hi,
is anybody working on porting HTC Sense to SG2 ?
I know there are threads on this issue with Samsung Galaxy S1 and Tab.
The SG2 is a good phone hardware wise (except for it totally over saturated colors on the display, and lack of led notification light), but it is directly user unfriendly software wise. (yes I have tried the NOLED software, but it drains the battery in notime, uninstalled!) - And making my living as a photographer with 3 hardware calibrated LCD screens, I can not recognize my pictures on the screen on the SG2, it may have good black-levels, but hello ??? The colors are WRONG on this phone!
After having used HTC Desire before, so many things are annoying me on
this SG2.
The list is so long with issues that I am considering writing up a bad-review for the
Samsung GS2 just to show how bad it is compared to HTC phones.
Just to mention a few issues:
- the stock keyboard on the SG2 is a joke! (yes I know there are 3rd partys and I am using one)- but the first you notice is you have to do a LOT of extra keystrokes to find and do what you want to do! (comma, special signs etc.)
- the call module, log etc is really really bad, HTC has collected them all in one window, on the SG2 you have to press a LOT to get what you want, and what moron decided to embed the text-messages in the call-log? you cannot remove the either! sick!
- pressing a missed call (once you find it WAY down the list, due to all the text messages above it), you get up another annoying option screen, why cant the damn phone just make the call back?? that's why you are there isn't it?
- the embedded modules/widgets on the HTC is unbeatable, like the brilliant friend widget which includes both a fb and a brilliant flickr broweser. There is not a single desent flickr program/browser on the market that can compare!
- I have tried just about every 3rd party launcher there is available, but they all are bad compared to HTC sense. currently using Launcher Pro Plus, which tries to emulate some of the features of the HTC sense UI, but doing it badly. annoyin message constantly about entering twitter preferences, the point is I dont have and dont need twitter!! AAARGH!!!
I am not a millionaire and I would prefer not having to buy a new phone and loose money on my over-rated SG2. But if porting HTC Sense to the SG2 is unlikely to happen I will take the loss.
For crying out loud, who buyes a smartphone based on reviews that run benchmarking software to test them? We need a phone to work smoothly and be user friendly, not win every possible benchmark!
And while I am writing this, the SG2 beeps telling me the battery is flat, AGAIN !!
I do not mean to ***** and complain, but I really think somebody should start working on the Sense port to Samsung. I hope somebody else sees my points.
Best reg,
messus

My suggestion is go buy a sensation because It doesn't sound like you want to do the work to get what you want. Those who like the sense UI really like it and the SGII might not be the best fit for you.
As to who buys the phone based on reviews .... well you obviously and now you are all panty twisted because its not a HTC phone. One suggests you should have just gone for a HTC to start instead of buying a phone ... waiting out the return period and then coming here to whine.
What to you mean "do the work" ? I am not a programmer, that's why I am "whining" about it and asking if anybody knows if anybody is working on this.
And yes, it is stupid to get carried away when just about every reviewer gives the Samsung Galaxy S2 which has good hardware, full score due to running benchmarking programs. And I admit I was stupid. But I guess you get "carried away" and you are
thinking "all of them can't be wrong" !? - In this case I am tempted to say they actually
are, since the phone is not user friendly at all.
Nevertheless, I am certain the SG2 with Sense 3.0 would be the ultimate thing.
Best,
messus
I have used sense and I do not like it.
HTC fanboys are worse than Apple 's sometimes.
SGS S II is faster than sensation because that phone has sense on it.
It slows it down and if you have 100mb of free RAM you are lucky.
Believe me just flash miui and you are happy

All of the problems you listed can be rectified by third party software - much of which is free. In fact the sense UI lockscreen was just made available to all in the android hacking section as were several other parts of the OS. But searching is hard ....

Twoddle. People who develop on xda do it for their own fun and then they share. Developers are not at the beck and call of anyone who wants X to do Y.
Xda is about sharing information and tech - NOT issuing demands.
As for the OP, that was just a little too aggressive to be taken seriously, so I'm not surprised that he got flamed for it, but at least he seems to be getting some positive responses now.
Incidentally, this subject has been discussed many times and a simple search on the OP's part would have led them to other threads where this could have been discussed. Instead, they decided to ignore the forum rules and start a new thread.

Xda is not supposed to have this kind of fanboy activity, at least not when i joined.
defending touchwiz/samsung to the point where you tell others to sell their phones just to get sense ui is ridiculous. who are YOU to say sense should not be ported? I believe the developer has the right. why would you try to prevent interest in this rom?

Ever owned a TV, you can easily adjust the screen colours man.
And the only true hot thing about Sense 3.0 is the lockscreen, but you can get almost the exact same lockscreen with agile lock. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen_charge

YES! I can tell you I have been running MIUI ever since I started this thread!
And, I will NEVER go back to stock rom, or semi-stock modifed rom, THIS (MIUI) is how the Samsung Galaxy S2 should have been from the beginning! And all other android devices without HTC Sense for that matter. MIUI is a fantastic user interface, beautiful, smooth, practical, very well thought-through and USER FRIENDLY !!
Thank you MIUI ! If it was not for you I would have trashed this higly over-rated smartphone from Samsung!
So we see and read about the love affairs with a new toy. Thought I would start a buyer's remorse thread..... (maybe some good deals on used S3's will pop up)
So now that you have it and it has not met your expectations.....What will you do? Back to Note ? SGS II... Wait for iPhone 5 Note II?
This probably will be an empty thread for a long time LOL

Best phone EVER. Nothing to complain about. Solid build quality, awesome screen, speaker is excellent. Love the ripple unlock. S Voice is a little hit and miss and is missing the cheekiness of the iPhone. But overall solid!
Quality phone and I think if Sammy hadn't been brave and recalled pebble blue before release this thread could have been busy but that's the beauty

Wait for a noob to post some silly complaint !!
Well so far that's not encouraging for finding a great deal on a used one soon....LOL

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how

S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.

Never buy only a replacement digitizer, it's very difficult (nearly impossible) to separate without breaking LCD: https://www.google.de/search?q=separate+lcd+digitizer
Better buy a complete lcd + touch digitizer "assembly", they have become quite cheap (starting from 15$/€):

Pretty cool to have that

but i'm little curious. Apparently the display is ok, just the touch doesn't work. I've noticed that the screen is "transpiring" too much moisture and some screws and springs were rusting. Has anyone tried to find out why the touch fails along the time? its maybe a CI problem or umidity

Well humidity becomes a problem especially when the device temperature is much lower than room temperature (like when coming in from winter/snow ) because the air surrounding the device surfaces cools down and water condenses, even on the inside.. it happens with watches, too..
Or you (or someone close to you) might have dropped it into liquid (toilet?) when you were very drunk
in that case, take out battery IMMEDIATELY, dry clean with a cloth, carefully shake out remaining fluid, then put f.e. into a bowl of dry rice and wait at least 24 hours before trying to power it up..

First of all, thanks for uploading these gems! :good:
This thread is a bit old already but I just unearthed my old SK17i while I was rummaging through my stuff. It got stashed away when it suddenly shutdown while it was charging. Checking, its battery terminals were shorted. Something gave way.
Perhaps you have a parts placement file lurking somewhere? I've tried our friend Google but she came empty-handed.

uhhm sorry, only the ones I uploaded.. Maybe just take it to your nearest repair cafe for help?
I have still like three or four sk17s here with various states of brokenness (screen, plugs, buttons, speaker...)
It was a really usable device, only the android java app sh1t overhead slugged it to death..
with some luck, a wayland phone distro will be usable on it someday :cyclops:

Thank thanks! :good::good::good:
Gawd how I miss this phone.
When my phone is locked and the screen is off if you swipe left to right on the bottom of the phone (menu buttons) it will bring your screen
out of sleep. Concurrently, if you swipe right to left, it will put your phone back to sleep. Anyone else?
That's a feature of dsb's kernel. And your username is gross btw.

nope..doesn't work here.
Thanks for the part about the kernel. The other part, where you offered your opinion that nobody asked for, keep it to yourself.
An apple a day is great, if you're starving to death.
Dude, it was a joke, chill out.

Lol. You make a name like saggyballs and expect nobody to comment? Fool

I fully expect my username to be a conversation piece. What I also expect is for people to be a little bit grown up about it. But it's my fault. I should have looked around and saw what kind of company I was in

Can we get back on topic: saggyballs discovered on the wake screen.

So, let's review.
You make an account with the username SaggyBalls.
You call people immature for commenting on how weird it sounds.
Because it's perfectly mature to make that kind of name.
And also, in the PROFESSIONAL world, people would find that to be normal and a "conversation piece."

brb, changing username to WtrMelonBalls to stimulate intelligent conversation...
and I'm stock right now...but a feature like that sounds nifty
EDIT: sorry robertmoore, didn't mean to quote you. I'm not busting your balls
yeah must be a custom kernel thing. doesnt work on stock
It's in both custom kernels I believe. Sweeping in the opposite direction should put the phone to sleep
