here is the desc to a video i put up .. any s2 owner (infact pda) owner should pay attention. .
the issues with the phone and How sprint is Recalling some of these will come in my next video Yes they are Recalling Units For Special Testing>>
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch LCD LED Differences etc..
First off the reason i changed out phones.
the phone wouldn't call 911 or anyone else when it doesn’t feel like it.
When you dial 911 it should put the phone in E mode thus full Control and full power and high priority on network.
(ill post a video about that resolution)
In short it just dials hangs up and you do it again till it connects.
IE the transmitter is CRAP
This call failure issue has been going on since this phone came out. (When i got it) but just got worse and worse.
sprint corp sent me this phone not from telesales etc.. (watch the other video that is coming soon about the whys etc of the replacement phones. and you will find that funny as much as interesting.
This Video shows a few things.
there is a HUGE difference in Tolerances for LED and LCD Color Binning Thus the quality of display and photos are not similar from one e4gt to another.
also shows there is something funky about the Automatic Backlight. The Unit Going back dims the LCD to much and is slow to respond to light changes in the room. (this issue was on the China Made S2s not the Korea Made S2s i had 2 of the Koreas and not an issue i had 3 Chinas and there was the isssu.
Also shows the phone going back rebooted by itself (I have seen that before)

Are you using the phone in stock form? The 911 issue was fixed long ago.
Sent from my Galaxy S II, AOKP style.
wed all like to think/hope that 911 Fix wored.
yes stock rom all current updates applied.
My new phone (left)came from Sprint Corp Inside (like VIP fullfillment) as its ESN is one of the first (Even lower than the one i bought when this first came out)
IE this is stock at the corp office from initial shipment.
(confirmed it was shipped from VIP fullfillment at sprint corp)
right fone is from local store
corp wants my phones for testing and i wasnt going into store to swap so they just pushed a fone from corp LOL>>
the phone has a known issue of not wanting to initilize a outbound call thus you have to redial to get it to go threw
your phone would act like making call then fail out right at 0.01 0.0 seconds
The galaxy s2 has an amoled screen. So it doesn't have a backlight or an LCD a screen.
What are you trying to say here?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
ya when i was doing the video i was basically going over the color binning in lcd, amoled, plasma oled etc...
IE keeping it general. Yes i know these dont have LED backlight However they do still have color bining and so other phone users could understand the binning concept.
my goal here is to let others see that there is color bining and you can get way different screens and LEDs (on the back) that are not the same and can affect color rendering... on the display and recording (if led is to white or yellow )
more of a FYI than any thing else.

Man i been trying to tell people that some epics have extra warm orangish color.
I returned 2 black epics to amazon and echganged it for white one now my screen temperature is cool-white and not yellowish.
I am sure there is a difference in the brightness and color between the displays, but for the really drastic difference with the browser (more than the rest of the UI), you might want to look at the browser settings. That app has brightness settings independent of the brightness in settings for the rest of the UI.

It is fairly common (whether its Epic, Nexus, ET4G) to see inconsistent screens. There are some lemons here and there. Even if you look in the Nexus forum you will see people complaining about Voodoo color settings not looking good and such.

Nah,im trying to say that there was probably a batch of about 1000-10000 defective black epics on amazon,so i figured i take my chances with white one and glad i did because screen is normal and looks better than black one
I remember i had same issue with iphone 3gs,my screen was yellowish and colors looked washed out.So i trade it in for another one and another one.Then reps at apple store pulled some out and they was yellow too.So they was trying to tell me that they are all like that,so i told them to look at phones they had on display,display iphones where all normal.So sense everything they had in stock was with defective yellow screen and people who was buying them just didnt know any better,they had to give me a refund.

... don't know about that. It may just take a month or so to wander North. It depends upon Rogers feeling they need to address some of these issues as well.
I guess for the moment, yes, but they did say "all Lumia 900 users" for near future updates.
Wow this blows...
Can someone with the new update tell me if the "minor additional fixes" might include the touch screen lag issue?
i beg to God that this will fix the sensitivity issues that i am facing with the nokia lumia 900.

I did not run automatic brightness...so seeing the purple everyday ...was not an issue. though, whenever I rebooted, you could certainly see the purple hue.
Just ran the update and rebooted....no purple...switched to auto brightness...no purple...

I'm not doing the update yet. I'm going to wait until it is dark. What I'm thinking is Nokia's "fix" may just be removing the lowest dimming settings. If that is the case then those of use with working phones will actually have our working devices "crippled." Gonna see if I can video tape the difference... assuming there is one. Trying to understand the OLED screens.
Can the Rogers users flash the AT&T firmware or would the phone become locked to AT&T or Locked to Rogers again?

I had the purple hue setting and can confirm that the lowest brightness setting is still available. they did not take it away. On the contrary, it seems like they made the automatic 'low' brightness setting even lower than the 'low' manual setting.
I am not sure if this was the case prior to the update but what i had seen earlier, at least in a Samsung focus was was when you set brightness to 'Low' manually, and then changed it to automatic brightness, the lowest automatic brightness was equivalent. Now, the lowest automatic brightness is lower than the 'low' in manual.
Can anyone confirm this with their non-update lumia?

I did not mean that they "took it away." I meant are the number of lumens still the same.

That is the way it was prior to the update. I'm just wondering if both low settings are putting out the same absolute number of lumens as the pre-fix settings.
I don't know that you can go back and forth with ROMS. I removed the Nokia flashing software from my computer and I don't want to hassle with it. So I am going to test and then do the update and see if there is a difference. I just need an objective way of being able to see a difference... if one exists.
Posted on a different forum. This is how the iOS works and looks like WP7 is supposed to as well.
Autobrightness is working, but it does look like it works differently than it did in the past.
Before, if you had auto brightness on and the brightness (level) set to low, the screen would go from the lowest brightness to the highest brightness depending on the ambient light. As long as auto brightness was on, it did not matter what the brightness setting was. The screen would adjust from the dimmest to brightest.
Now, it appears that the brightness setting affects the bias of automatic brightness. For example, if I have auto brightness on and the brightness is set to low, the screen will not get bright enough to read in the direct sun.
I now have auto brightness on, and I have the brightness level set to high. All seems well.
Based on reading some user guides for WPs, I think this is the way it was supposed to work all along. So, it looks like auto brightness not only works; it works as it should.

I'm wondering the same thing. I haven't seen it come back yet, but sometimes, it was sporadic.
Also, I didn't have the purple hue issue, but I don't notice any difference on automatic brightness from before. Might be due to me not previously having the issue, not sure.

I still have my Focus, and yes, it's buttery smooth. But, I'd be happy to trade you for your Lumia...
I'm just generally upset about my whole experience.
First, I was going to get the 900 when the $100.00 software-bug credit was there, but Rogers came back and said the $100.00 nokia rebate was only for new customers, not existing. Apparently existing customers had to pay not only full pop, but we weren't even eligible for the "month to month" price, we had to pay a higher cost for an "existing customer full buyout".
Then I accidentally break my focus, and get the 900. Returned it over 5 times, all had the purple issue.
The lag issue sucks, the battery issue sucks. I've accidentally let the phone completely discharge twice, and the last time I almost wasn't able to get it back (took over an hour to get it to power up).
Don't get me wrong, the phone is slick, beautiful design, specs are nice, etc... But I'm just getting SOOOO agitated at the Rogers/Nokia combo of issues.
Edit: I'm just ornery and having a bad day. Just extremely choked that Canadians didn't get the update as well... I tweeted Rogers, and they said they have nothing to do with it, they said it's all in Nokia's ballpark and they have nothing to do with the update process.
I just received my Google Play Nexus and as soon as I booted it up to the first screen I could tell the display was trash. It was stupidly purple and grainy. I know this isn't normal because I've owned 2 GSM Nexi previously. Even without owning them, it's pretty easy to see something is wrong with the display. How does this get released to the public?
I really don't feel like going through multiple replacements until I get a good screen. What are my options as far as guaranteeing a good screen? Thanks.

send it back and get a new one or flash a kernel and change the colors.
Pretty much nothing, going to have to stick with it or do a bunch of the advanced replacements or return it. I'm about to be on my fourth galaxy nexus. Even when I requested the most recent one they were bullshitting me telling me I was out of warranty when it had only been 1 week from the last replacement. I have wasted about 3hrs the past 2 days on the phone and got nothing but big fat NOs for any more returns and they told me id have to send in a repair and this was from a level 3 advanced return employee. This asshole level 3 god of samsung decided to make notes on my file saying I was out of warranty and not to advance replace my phone. He apparently was for sure that warranty was only for 14 days from date of purchase and would not listen to me. Thankfully I called a couple times more until I got connected with someone who sounded like they had the slightest amount of intelligence without redirecting me (i had to call very many times because mostmof the regular employees were seeing the notes the douche left on my account about not allowing me to advanced replace and telling me no)and ended talking to a standard employee who normally takes care of repairs/returns and she was like wtf u are still under warranty I'll fix everything in the records and send you a new one.
IMO if I were you I'd do anything to get rid of that phone without going thru Samsung. They'll bull**** you and run u around in circles and youll waste plenty of life on the phone with their garbage customer service. END RANT
this worry's me mine will be here Thursday i don't wanna have to deal with returns shouldn't have to with a 400$ phone this kinda sucks ...
Just got a replacement and the screen is WAY better than my last one. I honestly can't believe I went 7 months with a defective screen.

i guess that ill have to do sounds like its a pia grr ill keep my htc vivid just in case now lol if nexus disappoints Craigslist it goes
I've owned two GSM Gnex's and never had a issue with the screen. I hope the one I get Thursday is ok.
I went through a single replacement with Google then returned the replacement because it was worse than the original. If purple bothers you, a custom kernel - like Trinity - will definitely fix it. However nothing can be done about grain and banding. My suggestion is return the phone and don't bother exchanging it if the latter two bother you.
I have seen a good gnex side by side with mine and I want to cry - the other has no grain or banding at all - however i just don't have the energy to fight Samsung on this and play endless exchange game, and wish I'd just returned the phone to Google and gotten something else. For the record I have two dark bands - one vertical and one horizontal - crossing in the middle of the screen, in addition to a heavy dose of grain. Trinity wiped out all purple though.

My screen only goes purple when set to the lowest brightness. Is that the normal "purple" behavior people are talking about? Otherwise there is a noticeable snap back into the greys around 5-10% brightness.

My girlfriend has the AT&T model and, side by side with both phones on autobrightness, hers is brighter. This, I'm assuming, is because when auto brightness is set on her phone, she can set the range for how dim or how bright it goes while on T-Mobile there is no way to change the slider while on auto — it's either on predefined auto or its on manual.
So is there any way to go about getting my screen brighter while on auto like hers?

Are you sure you can adjust the brightness slider while auto brightness is checked? You sure you're not adjusting the volume slider instead? Reason I ask because my brother has a Verizon version and he just like our Tmobile he can't adjust the slider either.
But I have to agree like every other LG phone I had, auto brightness is totally useless and it keeps the phone too dim for my liking.

Positive. I tested it out from the display menu (AT&T doesn't have sliders in the quick settings). If your brother's Verizon is the same as ours, then this is a quirk/perk of the AT&T model. Her AT&T can potentially be brighter or dimmer while still on auto brightness.

My colors are completely oversaturated. The Orange in google play looks neon and almost reddish. Whites are very blue. Probably going to replace it. My wife also got a Pixel and the colors on her device look fine.

If the saturation bothers you go into developer options and enable "SRGB Color".
Obviously if it is different from another Pixel that is a different story, though.

Yeah, her screen and mine look completely different. Also I have a lot of speaker popping and stuff so I'll probably just return it.
My screen has issues as well. Bottom half looks pink on white screen and top half looks white. It's not horrible but just enough to make me mad. Paying so much for a phone out right. I want a perfect one. Considering doing a replacement but worried about how long I'll have to wait for a new one.
May have to pull the S7 edge back out for a while longer.

Don't believe everything the fanboys say, they are just trying to justify the purchase.
Some of the comments in XDA are such BS its obvious they are lying. You really have
to try to decipher the honest posts. They guys that insult are the biggest liars.

Thanks bro, its most certainly something wrong with my screen. I called Google and they are sending me an rma. She advised the rma stock is separate from stock inventory

You had to do the usual and put a hold on your card for a replacement right? I have a pink hue on the top half on my screen. I'm seriously thinking of exchanging it.
of course if you think your screen is bad, you should definitely exchange it for a different one
I guess I have been lucky, because after buying dozens of phones in my life, I never had a bad "new" one...

I chatted in to get mine exchanged, They made me send in a picture and said I'd be hearing back in 24 hours which is BS. Whenever I've had a problem with a device they have always issued a replacement order pretty much no questions asked except for the standard stuff. I don't know why this time I have to wait 24 hours.

They issued me an RMA immediately without question (for a different issue than this one though). I'm rather surprised they're asking for photo proof from you.
Erica actually mentioned it in her unboxing. Mine is fine but there is something to this.
