Blue highlight at the edge of screen in TW Launcher - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Has this happened to anyone? I get a blue haze if I scroll all the way to the left or right when i'm surfing the net. On the edge of the screen.

That's the overspill effect. We will eventually be able to take it off on the custom ROMs.

i actually like it
that way you know there's more stuff hidden over there

lol. I actually hate it with a burning passion. And only cause of the color... I swear touch wiz should be called parrot wiz instead.

Ahh k I thought I had a defective phone. Thanks for the info.

It's definitely a touchwiz thing because I didn't have it on my Nexus S. I absolutely hate it also.

Not all 2.3 devices have it, though. Other Galaxy S2's don't.
As I've heard, Google added it into the Nexus line because Apple has a patent on overscroll bounce on list scrolling.

Nexus S ICS envy..

Oh my epic has been so jealous. The other day I got a nexus s 4g for my gf and put ics on it. Man I cant stop using her phone and she does not understand what she has in her hand. Using this makes you see how much touchwiz sucks and there is no need for it anymore.
If Google was not whoring itself to anybody and had standards we would probably all have this already.

Agree... For this to be the best phone on Sprint and one of the best phone on Android, Im surprised we dont have it yet.
I wonder if there will ever be a day when all high end android devices get updated at the same time.
I guess thats what the Nexus brand is for though...

The worst part is Google has the nexus but by the time we get if we do it will be September. What's even the point of making ics look the way it does if nobody will see it. When apple has an is update the world knows. Google I would say either does not care or handles it in the worst way.
Average consumer will use android and because of all the crap that the carrier and handset makers do they leave with a bad impression. Its just sad its like Google is its on worst enemy.

You're really surprised the E4GT doesn't have ICS yet? Do you know how long it took gingerbread to get to the original Epic?

Until aosp roms support 4g I can't use them. The 3g in my area just does not cut it.
To op, there are ics themed launchers in the market. The source was released, so in a few weeks expect to see a ton of launchers based on the actual code.

You'll get bored of the amaze quickly, with the lack of support and average battery life. Camera is awesome though.
Try the gn or the note which apparently can use our h+ network now? Someone exploited it or something.
Why don't you play with different launchers or something? That'll keep you entertained just a bit longer.
I would stay away from htc phones until they prove themselves worthy again. Or get a wp8 phone

New Galaxy Nexus owner

I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus a little while ago and am officially decommissioning my Droid Incredible 2 (but I'll still keep it as a backup just in case). I won't have time to root it until this weekend, but once I do, I look forward to sharing my ROM flashing adventures with you guys. And with the sheer number of ROMs available for this device, it looks like I'll be in flashaholic heaven.

I noticed that when I first got the phone and was running a stock rom. Doesn't seem to be an issue when custom roms.
Also, if you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, remember to back up the important stuff because it will wipe everything.

Previous GSM Galaxy Nexus Owners..

Did you guys switch to this version of the Galaxy S3? Was it worth it? I'm thinking getting this on At&t as I have an upgrade available. Kind of worried about development not taking off yet? Also, what color led notifications does this version have?
Not taking off yet? We have CM9/CM10, AOKP (ICS/JB) and a bunch of TouchWiz kangs!
The notification LED is blue, green, red, or white (depending on the notification) by default. With custom ROMs, its configurable though.
I don't miss my Nexus. The camera on it hurt me to take pics. Do I miss AOSP? A little.. but the hardware of the S3 more than makes up for it.

Thanks for the reply. I think this will be my birthday gift then . Although another 2 years of marriage to at&t ugghhh.
Is the sg3 screen much better than the sgn screen? Also camera is that much better on the sg3? I've been reading some complaints.
And yes I see this version has good dev support now. Thats pretty good that samsung is using led notifications on this device as well.

Hell yes the camera is that much better, the screen is debatable, but my opinion I like the screen on the S3 way better. I can't see the individual pixels on here as I could on the Gnex so it looks better

SysAdmNj, not sure if you are in a 4g LTE area but if you are, the speeds are pretty amazing. :good:
If you are, it's worth the upgrade alone!
I miss some of the support on the gn (paranoid android and aokp) but the hardware and camera are good enough reasons for me to stick with the s3.
Sent from my S3
I'm getting the S3 today. Been on the Nexus for a long while now. I absolutely love Jelly Bean and Pure Google. But I'm willing to flash AOKP/CM10 in order to get it. I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, but I guess that could grow on me..
I'm looking at that camera on the S3 and how amazing it is compared to the lackluster camera on the Nexus.
I'm pretty close to getting mines at lunch time, you guys convinced me. I'm just wondering where the "pictures taken with your at&t sgs3" is?
My buddy has nexus. Resolution is lower so the gs3 looks sharper. Screen is bigger and cam way nicer. It's like a better version of the nexus once you take touchwiz off.

I've never been a big fan of this phone. It started in the first 15 minutes and the overall look of Touchwiz. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that my 1st smart phone was a Nexus One and my affinity for Native android as a result. Anyway.
I just bought a Nexus four and love it. I plan to return it w/i the 14 buyer remorse T-Mobile has. IAfter that I'll either order another N4 or wait for the next Nexus phone. I love the simplicity and ease of use of them. It was so easy to root the N1.
So it's either the next Nexus phone or the Motorola X phone. $$ is important to me, so probably the Nexus.

Expandable storage would be nice but will never happen. Don't care much for lte as I'm on Wi-Fi 99% of the time. The only thing I want to see is a better camera...and maybe made of something other than glass as I've heard it can be quite fragile.

Note 3 or....Gasp...iPhone 6.... If Apple adds things such as haptic feedback and a larger display, I'd consider it. I personally like the newer flat UI from iOS, plus I like the social integration part of the software. Android has it's benefits, don't get me wrong, but honestly, I think iOS visually looks better...I don't know if I can live without widgets though
PS, I know I'm going to get flamed for that, but I'm not a fanboy of either...Looking at functionality and design..Nothing wrong with that
