[General Questions and Answers] Anteino:
Hi all,

lately I installed youwave on my pc and experienced that one can really use whatsapp to chat with other users which have an actual android/iOS/windows/etc device. Next I tried to install android to my pc using VirtualBox, but when I installed whatsapp I got a message "unable to identify your device" which is understandable. But then I started to wonder, how could youwave get the job done where VB did not? After trying to install some other versions of android to my pc I figured that you couldn't install your own apps but only the ones which were in the preset app market. For example there was no OI Filemanagement which is there in the real app market. The best thing about youwave was that one version of whatsapp didn't work, but then I downloaded the newest version from whatsapp.com and it worked fine. I realised and tested that this would not work in my VB version of android.

I'm not a real hero with porting and virtual stuff, but now I'm trying to understand how youwave works in this. And my question for you here is, is it possible to achieve what youwave does myself with VirtualBox? If yes, how would I do that?

When I think about it I think you must achieve some of the following:

- Make VB think your pc is a HTC Sensation (in my case);

- Install the clockworkmod and rom manager to your virtual Sensation.

- Make a backup of your real phone in recovery mode and use this backup to recover your virtual one.

- Then someway, share your PC's network with your phone by making it think it has a wireless network in range?

- Install the newest whatsapp (which worked in youwave)

You'll probably think why the heck doesn't he JUST use youwave. There are several reasons, the most important one is I do not have a creditcard and do not even want to spent a lot of money just to whatsapp on my pc for fun. Besides I want to understand the proces of porting android to your pc and using it like it was a real phone, like with the google addon etc. And I don't like the UI of youwave.

So, if anyone knows if any of this is possible, I would appreciate your help. I think I saw someone somewhere talking about porting a backup of his phone to his PC but I can't remember where. I'm not asking you to come over to me and install everything for me but I just like an explanation where to start and what my possibilities are.

Anyway thanks for your attention.

must have flashed too many rom's, and pressed my down button too hard and too often! now it doesn't respond sometimes, I have to press harder. fortunately my phone is still under warranty, can I get it repaired for free? must I revert to unrooted stock rom?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
If you want to return your phone then the best thing to do is to unroot it. As you know, root voids your warranty and when you return your phone, LG will look whether you've rooted your phone yes or no. If you unroot it, they'll probably won't find out.

[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Hello everyone

I've had my incredible s for about 9 months now

All of a sudden, my power/unlock button has lost its clickiness.

I have to really press it hard, and it just mushes in, without any feedback.

Its lost its responsiveness too :(

My question is, has anyone got this problem as well? I didn't drop it or anything.

do I need to take it back to be repaired?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Mine has been like that since new.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Mine used to click, now it just mushes.

So yours has always mushed, even with the back cover off?

I'm thinking about taking it back to my carrier store and see what they can do about it.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Did you ever find out about it. I'm thinking of contacting HTC about it and see if they will fix it. Its really annoying I can only turn my phone on when I hold it in my right hand as no other way works.
[HTC Incredible S] mohdsubaie:
I noticed this happen within a couple of months of usage with my IncS. Didn't bother me much so I did not fuss about it.
[HTC Incredible S] vinboy3:
Send it to HTC, they will fix for you. My friend has done this.

Cheers...
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Im a bit worried that they will look at it, it still works just not as well, and think I am being too fussy. I think it is getting better though, any worse and I will take it back.

Virtuous Affinity now has volume unlock so I use that now :)

Thanks for the responses guys :)
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah I might just wait a bit longer and then send it in to be fixed if it gets any worse.
[HTC Incredible S] bob8x:
Mine is a bit tricky too, this the only thing that keeps me away from unlocking and flashing ics...
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
You can always s-on again if it starts to get worse

I will wait until I dont need my phone everyday and then will send it to be fixed. They don't give you a replacement do they?

This issue must be a design flaw as we all have the same problem.
[HTC Incredible S] fallenwout:
You are using affinity, use the built in virtuous tweak to unlock with volume rocker. That might keep your power button working longer.
[HTC Incredible S] zizou_cr:
I recently bought a phone (3 months ago..), a IncS..., I didnt know these problem with the power botton, what a problem...

Me power botton works fine in these time, but now I will began to get some monney for change all the phone :(
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
i just sent my phone back to HTC so they can repair it. I will report back on here when they give me my phone back to see if it has been fixed. :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Did you make it s-on and stock??
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah I did I followed this guide to do it and worked really well

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
So you sent it back completely stock?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yes it was stock htc sense rom. I don't think they will know it was s-off and hopefully they don't update it to the latest hboot
[HTC Incredible S] bob8x:
I should pass though htcdev to unlock, tacoroot seems to not working ...

BTW removing the sd I noticed that without the back panel the power button have a more "natural" feeling and responsiveness, it seems like that is limited by the back cover..
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I found that too, but now it's lost all its click and just mushes :(

@incrediblealex have you got it back yet? And, did you send it to your carrier or straight to HTC?

And it shouldn't matter if they update it, you can always downgrade with a goldcard.
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
I think that Inc S has a design flaw when it comes to the power button (just like the USB port) and I think this is affecting most of the Inc S phones out there. The thing is, very few people bother complaining about the degraded functionality of the button, as it still does the job pretty well.

My Inc S's power button lost the clickiness within 1 month from purchase...It still works, but not the way it used to.

In my opinion, if you send it back to HTC Service Centre, they will fix it, but it will brake again as they probably use the same part/component to fix/replace the mechanism.

My advice would be to sell the phone, if that power button really bothers you.
[HTC Incredible S] imepv7:
I noticed that from the first time I got a hold of mine-- the powerbutton is not that durable..what i did was to download apps to use my volume button to turn my phone on (try "wake all") and I also used an app to turn my phone off by tapping on the screen ("turn off the lights")...In that way I don't always use my power button except if Im going to flash a custom rom....by the way CM7 has a built in feature that uses the volume to wake the phone...
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
@katu2006

What is wrong with the USB port?

Dud power button

Dud USB port

Dud emmc chip that fries or something if you take the battery out at the wrong time

Anything else I am unaware of before I break the phone accidentally???
[HTC Incredible S] katu2006:
Eh well...There are a few situations where the USB port snapped of the board.

Here is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311893

The Emmc chip fault however, is affecting a whole range of phones...Not a particular fault or anything like that.

Knowing all this, I still love this phone and don't wanna sell it. I had a lot of phones and this one has the best screen by far...not to mention great battery life (I get at least 2 days with CM7).

So, don't worry, be happy...HTC Service Cetres are available in most contries. :)
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Hi guys I just got my phone back from repair and I can now say that my power button works perfectly now and is really easy to press and has nice feedback

They also upgraded my phone to the latest sense 3.0 and as I hadn't upgraded I'm just playing around with stock at the moment.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
For some reason my imei number is different and my serial is different. Why they would they change the motherboard when repairing the power button is beyond me however it works great so I'm not complaining
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Good to hear your phone is feeling better, so its good as new I presume? How long did it take?

Is it possible that it is a refurbished phone?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
It took 11 days and I don't think it is refurbished because the phone still shows the same imei number on the back but shows a different one on the software info. On the repair notes I got with it it said 2 faults of random rebooting and broken power button but I only said about the power button so not sure if there was a mistake somewhere but everything seems fine now.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Thats good to hear, maybe I'll do the same with mine soon, but I don't want to get into the goldcard s off stuff again. I played with a Sensation XE today and the power button was so much more responsive

But good to see that HTC fixed it for you under warranty
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Just to update this, in case anyone was curious like I was.

I sent my phone in under warranty, s-off, came back with a new motherboard, stock, s-on, with a fixed power button

They said it was not a common fault

The new motherboard has the dud emmc chip I think :/

But I'm glad to have it back, exactly a month after I sent it in

Then I was able to downgrade with nonverbose's script
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Are you able to boot sense 4 roms?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Does the "bad" emmc chip effect if you can boot ics roms?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Yes, I tried nik's sense 4 from and it worked for the 2 hours I used it for.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I think I have the dodgy one, and mine booted
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yeah i have the same as you and the only thing i have noticed is that ics roms freeze for ne when other people say they reboot. Not sure if it just them not saying that it also freezes ...
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I have been using gingerbread mainly, but I don't think I have experienced anything like that on ics, other than when it had been my fault

Hopefully the official 3.0 kernel will sort it out for you then!

I think every company's flagship phone makes reasonably good photos and it's a matter of personal taste to choose a company.

I mean - surely, there are people who will show me a difference between SGS2 photos and HTC Sensation and whatever LG's most expensive phone is but the bottom line for me is - I don't see a huge difference, people! If you want a decent camera then buy another device. Phone cameras IMO are just for taking party pictures and screwing around. They are simply not good enough for a photographer and that's about it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretasianman:
My experience has been with HTC and Samsung:

Samsung smartphones take better pictures and videos. HTC uses too much compression which adds noise to photos and videos. Comparing my HTC Inspire to my Samsung Infuse (both 8MP cameras) I noticed the file sizes were smaller on the Inspire also leading to more noise.

This link is a review/comparison of the HTC Vivid and Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and includes sample photos and videos:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-Vivid-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Skyrocket_id2895

If you download and look at the original photos and videos, the Samsung does a much better job (notice the file sizes are larger too indicating less compression).

does anyone know any android phone with dedicated shutter button apart from the Xperia Arc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azhrei:
I don't consider them comparable unless you're unfamiliar with cameras and using the s100 in auto mode. Even then there are plenty of situations where the s100 will beat the iphone since the s100 has a much more powerful flash, better low light capabilities, and optical zoom. If you do know your camera then the differences start to really mount up since you then get full control on the dedicated camera. I'm not fully familiar with the iphone's software controls but I'm assuming it doesn't have manual control of aperture and shutter speed. I'm hoping it has ISO control since some Android cameras have that but if it doesn't, there's another feature to include on the list.

All that said though, if you're uninterested in the details of photography and just want to snap a pic quickly for something like facebook, then ya, something like the iphone's camera is pretty decent.

I am really confused about how this tegrak overclock app works. As suggested by angelom i gave up setcpu for tegrak but i can't seem to figure out a couple of things.

I am trying to get 100-1400 mhz with undervolting. So i chose the voltages i wanted, then chose max cpu frequency as 1.4 ghz.

Now heres the problem. In the optimization menu i now see cpu level 0 as 1400mhz as well as cpu level 3 as 1400mhz. Level 1 and 2 are still 1664 and 1600. Also the voltages for level 0 are the ones for 1704mhz.

Is tegrak setting my voltages for 1400mhz correctly? Because my phone seems to be running fine however low i set my lvl 3 1400mhz voltage. I even set it to 900mv and quadrant still ran. (Trying to alter voltages over level 3 causes the app to force close after i set max cpu freq to 1.4)

Either tegrak automatically reverts back to the original voltage when the system is unstable (in which case.. How would i know when this happens?) or something isn't working right.

I am on a stock kk3 rom.
