One with up and down arrows

No, I get the up and down is incoming and outgoing data, the red highlighted wifi with the horizontal arrows either side.....

It shows the local radiation levels. It looks likes yours are quite low so you should be ok.

if you mean the blue light by missed call- you can disable under settings/ notification&sound/ Notification/ EVENT/Phone:Missed call
Yeh i dont think it is possible. It only bleeps blue when you have a phone call/sms and thats all.
p.s - welcome to the forum

Well I've tried that before but to no success so any other ideas? Thanks for the help though
When do you get blue lights?
If it's with phone and sms - you might want to even untick the box with 'New text message' - it's at same place as for 'missed calls'..
If you don't mean blue, but green - it is 'sleep mode indicator' in settings.
Blue light as far as I know can be turned off totally - all you need to do is go through the whole drop down list and untick 'flash light' wherever applicable..
Thanks for the replys guys but managed to sort the problem myself, maybe not the best way possible but it certainly did the job.

[Q] custom rom and bluetooth with ''?''

Hello!
I have rooted galaxy s2, change 15 custom roms, and still there’s one thing on every rom seam to appear: when i try to connect bluetooth on main screen, with scroll down options, and when i choose to select bluetooth icon, there's constant problem with every custom rom: first appears sound and then icon of bluetooth with this sign ”?”, and text message ''bluetooth available'' beside that ''?''! Despite of that, bluetooth works, but that’s really annoying! What is that, how can i fix it?

Hi mate,
just press this notification and u will see it's just an info.
U will directly bring u to bluetooth settings - f.ex. to make phone visible or connect to a device.
So:
Activate per icon in notificationbar (bluetooth activated)>press notification>
connect to device or make phone visible etc.
It's just a wy to make life easier and safe some clicking via menu>settings>Wireless etc.
Hope u understand and I could help.

Thanks for trying to help, but i don't really understand what you say, or you don't understand me, because of my poor exsplication of problem;
once again, when i press bluetooth on my main screen, but not an icon on home screen, but icon on ''scroll down'', menu, where also is icon of wi-fi, bluetoth, gps, sound, and auto rotation; after i press bluetooth icon first appears sound, then on way up in the left corner, appears tiny words ''bluetooth available'' with mark ? beside that words.

Despite of that, bluetooth is working, notification words ''bluetooth available'' disappear, but that icon of bluetooth stands in upper left notification part of screen with sign ? beside icon of bluetoth.

What he is saying, is that it is intended. It is part of Android so you can more easily get to the bluetooth settings screen to either pair with other devices or change your discovery settings.

You all have me misuderstood, that is not part of Android, it's fault, error
That is error message in notification bar, when you turn on bluetooth, bluetooth is activated without any sound or message like ''bluetooth available ?'', doest this message is normal, it's not!

I'm pretty sure I understand you just fine... but just in case, I'll describe what I see when I turn on bluetooth.
When I turn on bluetooth, I get a notification tone, and a notification that has the bluetooth symbol with a "?". When I swipe my notification bar down, it says "Bluetooth available". If I click on that, the notification icon disappears, and my bluetooth settings opens.
If this is NOT what you are talking about, maybe posting some screenshots would help us understand what you mean.

You actually do have an option to turn on notifications when open wi-fi networks are available. But it's off by default, I think.
As for GPS, the GPS doesn't have to connect to anything like wi-fi or bluetooth, exactly.
Mate,
all is fine.
This notification only appears on bluetooth.
And no it's not an error...
U can see it like and notification/info that u now are able to do s.th. with bluetooth... That for it is.
And sure there must be an "?" because at tgis moment u turn on bluetooth u aren't automaticly connect to an other device...
And yes it wasn't there everytime... It's was a "feature" (maybe for u not) in an earlier firmware release of android.
Be cool... Press notification and see that nothing crazy happening and then u can decide if u you.... If not just ignore it.
Hope all is fine now

yes, just that what you said! So that is normal! Can i turn off that option?
But it confuses me, because on one custom rom, which i held for long nothing like that is happening!

Hmm don't think so because it's a bit senseless to turn it off (normally).
But I'm not using the actual JKay, maybe it has the option to deactivate the notification, but I'm not sure...
Don't misunderstand me, but if u activate bluetooth y normally want to connect and than it's better to do it with two than with 5 clicks or?
Maybe u think again about it.
Hope all is clear now for you ;-)

That only shows up when you turn on bluetooth from OUTSIDE the bluetooth settings screen. In other words, from the notification bar or a widget, so you can more quickly open the bluetooth settings, if you wanted to pair a new device. If you turn on bluetooth when you're already IN the bluetooth settings screen, it won't show up. Try it. You can ignore it. It's NOT an error.

Phone Keeps Entering Lockscreen on Busy Call - Help

i'm on absolution 3.7. how can i stop my phone from entering the lockscreen when a call is busy? when a call is busy, the phone goes to the lockscreen. how do i make it enter the dialpad instead?
I believe in the phone/Settings and should be an option on where to exit after call, at least there is on my IncS/ICS-4.0.4:thumbup:

hi, TheCrow.. can you tell me where in the phone settings i can do this? i cant find it. thanks.
On your phone go and push the phone icon and the dial/touch pad will be than at the bottom of the screen you have the 3 small touch horizontal lines that's your menu option, than after you touch that while in the phone dial pad you will see Settings and maybe 2-3 options down it asks something like where to exit to after phone hangs up so let me know if you find it ok

i think youre referring to the setting, 'return to dialer after call'. i checked and unchecked that option and it does nothing. it goes back to the lockscreen. but i noticed something interesting. when i call a busy number and i dont have the phone to my ear (screen is on), the call returns to the dialer. but when i have it to my ear (screen is off), then take it off my ear (screen is lit again), thats when it goes to lockscreen. theres got to be a way to edit a file to fix this sh'it, like, disable the lockscreen when the phone is on your ear (screen is lit).

yeah... absolutely.. how do we begin this? i'd like to 'star' it, like you said. what must we do first?
You should go through a recording of one run, say about 20mins or so while at same time performing acts that you feel made the issues and than when you go back to look at the record just look for 'error' areas in usually red color than take a screen shot of the highlighted error lines than post the screen shot and maybe we or others can look into it

Hi there,
Sorry to hear your problem. If the image is fine when you transfer to the laptop then you have a faulty screen.
Resetting software won't make a difference, it's the way your screen is displaying the information that's the problem.
You have a row of damaged pixels I would say.
Does the 'line' stay in the same position when scrolling?

Hhhhmmm that's strange. It's definitely not a pixel problem but does seem to me that the display is getting confused. Does it only do this sort of thing in the browser? Is it only when there's writing on a white background? If it's only in the browser you could download a different browser and try that.... Might make a difference.
If it's still doing it I would take phone back for a replacement
I've heard of this happening on other S2's and its a screen defect you should go and get a replacement.
Yeah guys it happens not only in browsing but other times as well..do i need to replace the display or just an IC??
