I don't think everyone is talking about the same issue either. I recommend turning off the auto brightness. I have mine off all the time now, haven't noticed any issues since. Plus auto brightness always set my brightness to minimal, was not very ideal in many cases.

Hard to believe that the flickering screen has not been addressed to them officially. I had a flickering screen issue and fixed it with the suggestions I found here. Been using it somewhat extensively for the past few days, about 2-3 charges/reboots and haven't seen the issue recur. Hopefully...

yea, forgot what it was called. i tried the reset through the security settings, but there was no change in the battery issue. so i tried the hard reset through odin.

i dont know the answer to that, but it might? youll lose most, if not all your preferences if you hard reset. so make sure you backed everything up before you do. just turn off your phone, then when the phone is off, press the power + volume up + volume down buttons down till you see the...

i hard reset the phone and now everything is great. battery isnt so bad anymore but isnt as great as it was when on ICS. overall, excellent update!

i dont mind all the changes. the apps and features that got left behind, i dont miss that much. the only thing im trying to figure out is how to add a "favorites" folder from my contacts onto my homescreen. the closest thing i found is this widget called favorites contacts. the battery drain is...

i had bluetooth issues for a while too, but i decided to unpair all my devices from my phone and repair them again. seems to be working better now. i havent had much issues since i did this a few ago.

when do i win?!

Yea i had that on my last gs2. Picking another bg or resetting the bg is only temporary. You have to wipe your phone.

when are the winners announced?!

Wow. Not just giving one, but two!? Hope this makes up for missing IO this year.

nice... so youve been talking about the USB charging port this whole time.

yea. Funny enough i just had to replace mine because the update screwed up some of my features. So tmo sent me a new one in hopes i could have a sg2 back on gingerbread. But it came with ics already installed. Bummer. But so far this one is working better than my original. Glad you have a good...

Thats an odd issue to have. Does the battery come loose enough to disconnect the power from your phone? I could see why this could be a problem. If its serious and there arent any signs of damages done by you, it sounds like you can have tmo replace it under a manufacturer defect. Otherwise id...

really not much you can do beside replacing the screen or just buying a whole phone. Refurb goes for about 400 i think. Not sure how much a new screen would cost but i saw a few on ebay a week ago when i was looking for a spare phone. Even with insurance you would have had to pay about 100...
