[HTC EVO 3D] tatnai:
Actually hoping the S4 processor on the US version improves the battery on the One X, but it could be a screen thing too (as suggested by the engadget review). Will cross my fingers and hope, but in all honesty, for my type of usage, 6h of video playback will mean this thing will last me all day no problem, so I'm not worried.

I'm actually kinda like the One S (don't crucify me) too, but the pentile SAMOLED is probably a deal breaker; also, with flashing ROMs and nandroids and such, 12gb of available is definitely NOT enough. I've got 16gb in my E3D and with bootmanager with 2 slot roms, a nandroid or two, and my titanium backups, I occasionally have to delete things. Might be my wife's next phone, she's due an upgrade in the summer, mines not due until 2013 summer.

I'll probably rock my E3D with ICS until then, there will be new "wow" phones by then anyways. Only thing I'm missing now is NFC, and usage is currently limited, so ::shrug::. And LTE? Well hopefully with LTE upgrades comes better 3G (or should I say non-sucking 3G that DLs faster than 100kbps), I'll make do with that.

i think it sucks. may look cool, but if I want to task switch I want to see more than a couple apps at a time and not have to flip through things. fail IMO.

Meh, it hasn't been an issue for the millions of iPhone users, I think people will get over the lack of a removable battery.

Hopefully they've thought ahead and implemented a hardware button combo to reset the phone, even when it freezes. Once again to mention the iPhone, when it freezes, no matter what, holding the power button + home button puts the phone in recovery mode and you can simply hold the power button to boot from there.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Millions of iPhone users don't have rooting capabilities ..
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Well I had an iPhone 3G and guess what? Because the battery couldnt be replaced I bought an external battery case in an premium apple store in Thailand.

Those external batteries cost alot more then normal batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
My friend with an iphone bought one of those too and it makes the phone fugly looking and bulkier. HTC one x will end up in the same boat and can you imagine having one of those cases to an already bigger phone. But majority of phone users wont care about replaceable batteries. Out of all my friends with android, I'm the only one with extra batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Double post sorry
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I like the software and the rest just don't like the battery idea :D That part is a bummer...
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
What's the relevance? But, you're right, they don't have rooting capabilities. They have jailbreaking capabilities which gives root access.

That may be true, but most iPhone users don't carry one of those external battery cases. Most iPhone users do just fine with a single, irremovable battery and possibly a car charger or AC charger when necessary.

I'll say that if you are out in the woods and away from a power source for several days then you are screwed when the battery dies. However, if out in the woods, you're probably not using your phone much so it could remain off unless needed. In addition, the poor likelihood of having any sort of signal in areas so remote that there is no power supply would make the phone unusable anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Well situation where I need spare batteries is when I go to the other side off the world, only if in airplane there is an usb connection then these spare batteries are not needed.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
I cover a few conventions and having a phone with a removable battery was a great. I covered E3 with a few folks and I had to sit by an outlet with some of my friends who had iPhones 1/2 into the day because they needed to recharge and had to do it for a few minutes between each appointment. I just popped out my battery and put it in another and was ready to go. Only had to carry one extra one, but it got me through a day with heavy texting and looking up meeting information.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
For people saying that the hard reset button solves the issue with a non-removable battery for freezes....do me a favor and using the volume up + volume down + power button reset method....and with only that, boot into recovery....I'll wait...

Answer: you can't. If you have a bad flash or something that puts you into a bootloop, you won't be able to get into your recovery using the hard reset method, unless they change it to fully shut off the phone (not just reset it)...so if you have a bootloop, and aren't near a computer with adb set up...guess what your phone is doing until you get to a computer?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I doubt they leave it like that as it makes no sense to make it a "reset" as opposed to "power off."

I wanna say on the Xoom the button combo they use results in a shutdown not a restart...could be wrong but im pretty sure thats the way theirs works...
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I'm just stating, that the evo 3d simply resets the phone when forcing a hardware reboot. They aren't worried about people that "have a bad flash". A forced reset would/should remedy most issues (freeze wise) for non-rooted users.Why would they change it if it works for the masses (non-root users)?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I understand what your saying, but it doesn't make much sense. I'd expect them to change the behavior on the OneX b/c with the 3D while a reset will solve most problems you dont want to have to take in a device for replacement b/c you couldn't pull the battery...which on the 3D is an option so makes somewhat sense the combo doesn't shut it off fully...

doing the combo on the 3D does it fully power down and boot up or is it the exact same as restart option from power menu?

Wonder if you could catch it in the right time during the reset and hold VolDown to put it into recovery?...
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
To your last question...I've tried many times to 'catch it in the right time' because if I get stuck in a loop while at work, I don't have a computer with adb, and I've got the Trident Aegris case which its tedious to get off and on. No such luck on that front.

If the button combo still results in a reboot on the HTC one, there may be some ways around it....but it depends on hire the battery is connected to the phone.

If its still just terminals, but with a non-removable (phone) back, we could cut a small slot where a tab could be inserted though the phones casing to 'break' the connection.

If its soldered, or a plug is used...a kill switch could be spliced in to break the connection....only time will tell I guess
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
No charges on the other side of the world?

Fair enough, and for users like both of you that is why charging packs exist.

I understand that for the few, a irremovable battery may be an issue. My point was only that it hasn't stopped apple from selling hundreds of millions of iPhones over the last 4.5 years so its obviously not a deal breaker for the majority. However, I respect that what may work for most people does not satisfy your individual needs.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I agree with you about the battery not being an issue when talking about it lasting all day, needing charged, eliminating extended batteries, etc, but...

Half of the people's concern about a non-removable battery is in case of bootloops/software. With Apple, jailbreak is similar, but still completely different than Android root.

You can't flash Roms on IPhones, so there's no real threat of endless bootloops...you jailbreak via a computer (or a website if you're software is compatible), and everything else is done from cydia (99% of the time).

Whereas with Android, you can completely change (and potentially screw up) the entire OS. Which is where we (root users) would need to be able to get into recovery...and without a removable battery, and if the hardware reset remains the same as it is on the 3d, we're kind of screwed.

That's my concern with the non-removable battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I can appreciate that perspective. The users thus far that have expressed disinterest because of the irremovable battery have stated that it was for battery life reasons. As you mentioned, a

power off

hardware override would eliminate any concerns.

Isn't jailbreaking essentially obtaining root access? It seems like jailbreaking is the same thing as "rooting" android or WebOS- just getting root access to the directory so things can be changed that are otherwise inaccessible.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
The biggest difference, is unlike Android, im not aware if you can put different operating systems (ports aren't there because there's only iOS, and few variances of it) on the phone/iPod. Jailbreaking allows you to install 3rd party apps without having to be in/from the Apple app store, allows for a variety of theme/mods, access to root folders... but full software changes...I don't think so.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Previous iterations of the iPhone have run near fully functional builds of Froyo.
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
Valid point about the battery. I don't see why they WOULDN'T include some sort of 'power off' override or button combination, because there will inevitably be 'software problems' on completely stock Evo Ones. Such as a problem where a phone keeps rebooting itself over and over, and the Sprint Rep will need to access the bootloader to try to hard-reset the phone. This could just as easily happen to a phone that was never rooted... main cause I could see is a person who just bought their first smart phone sees there is update waiting to be installed. So they go to update and something goes wrong in the process. Now they suddenly can't use their phone at all...
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Despite having an iPod touch and an iPad, clearly I'm an Android guy. Lol, thanks for clearing that up
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
Its been mentioned several times in threads, and in the review this thread discusses, that instead of a battery-pull you just hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Did you bother reading this whole post? What does holding the power button do? Power it completely off or just cause a reboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
LOL,Why Antutu benchmark shows SDcard read/write speeds for this phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
I believe I read it will power down, just as a battery-pull would accomplish. Since this method isn't software based, as stated in the article, it must hardware based similar to holding down the power button on your pc or killing the power switch on the back. Will there ever be a problem so bad that a hold-power can't resolve? Who knows, but since there can be problems even a battery-pull can't resolve then I'll assume equal risk.

No need to be snippy
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Had you read the post, you'd of seen that we've discussed that the hardware button reset on the 3d only reboots the phone and doesn't power it down. By doing the hardware reset, you can't get into recovery, so fixing problems such as a bad flash (which caused bootloops) with the hardware reset isn't possible unless its changed on the one x.

No need to barge in and spew already discussed information without resources like you made the phone yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
I should have been more clear in my last post. The power-hold method replaces the battery-pull, but my understanding is thats it. To get into recovery/bootloader I assume we would still use power-vol when the device is off following the power-hold. Why are you guys thinking that was changed as well, unless I didn't catch that somewhere?

I'm sorry, I didn't know this was a private discussion only between the 2 of you. Never have I proclaimed knowing more about the phone, just don't understand where your presumptions of anything beyond the way to battery-pull has been changed. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Well evidently in the OneX forum they are saying that holding the power button down results in a shut down...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23570272&postcount=2

though I've seen it answered as a reset too over there I went ahead and asked in the thread below to someone that actually has the device in hand, and see what they actually show...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1571596&highlight=reboot&page=28
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
The point of me saying about getting into recovery/bootloader, is that if the hardware reset ONLY REBOOTS THE DEVICE LIKE IT DOES ON THE EVO 3D, then LIKE THE 3D, you won't be able to get into recovery...go try it on your evo 3d, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the info Sgt
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
So far seems you can get into the bootloader....least the first poster to respond has this to say:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24446846&postcount=274

trying to get a little more clear answer there on that though...
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Maybe we'll luck out and find someone that speaks more clear english, just for definitive answers, as opposed to "i think he meant...." responses
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
yeah he cheated. lol

he did the power button hold trick and it is a restart of the device not a power off...then he powered off and then did the VolDown combo to go into bootloader...

trying to see if he can try to catch it during the restart to send it to bootloader instead of starting back up...back to step one i guess. lol

EDIT: Not so fast...bootloader achieved! :)

[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
No need to upgrade to HTC One [fill in] because we already have an good HTC One S port for the HTC Evo 3D.

The fron camera works so that is good, only the 3D and back camera does not work, but for rest we can have the HTC One feeling.
[HTC EVO 3D] rank78:
I understood what you said, and my post clarified what I meant and now you're just screaming in caps what I already knew. lol

Whatever, thank you sgt for asking the other forum and verifying power-vol would still get us into bootloader/recovery

as I expected

Will this Power button function still work once a new ROM is flashed?

Its built into the hardware (like holding the power button on a PC), so yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takamichi:
I've managed to cf-root my stock Gingerbread build, install CWM and now ICS using the WanamLite 10.3 rom. I backed up the previous rom using CWM and also backed up everything using Titanium. Once I had ICS I restored all my apps and settings usuing titanium.

Now that Wanam has been upgraded to 10.4 do I have to in theory backup anything before upgrading - I mean I'll do it anyway but I want to know if flashing the new rom is likely to wipe out any settings? If so, obviously upgrading the rom is not a simple 2 minute procedure and I'll defer upgrading every time there is a new release.

Thanks for any assistance. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Ok I just got the mytouch slide 4g. I need help with this phone. I know you get standard themes on it but I was wondering if I were to download some other themes for the device do I have to somehow jailbreak my phone or hack it to use them? Or can I just download the theme upload it to the phone and use?

Also my last phone was a touchpro and it was hacked and loaded with a rom when I got the device. Should I do the same for this device to use stuff? if so what are the benifits of it? what can I get or do with it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Jailbreak is not a term that applies to Android devices, so it has no real meaning here.

Whether you have to hack it or not to add themes is entirely dependent upon what themes you get or make - so without you first having on hand the themes you want to use it's really not possible to say?

Some you can just use, others you'll have to hack it to use, it really depends on what you want.

I am not sure what stuff you are referring to about in your last paragraph, but if you want to get rid of the bloat that comes pre-loaded on the phone or install a custom ROM on the device you will have to do some manner of work to it.

How open you can make the device is dependent upon what version of software you have at this point, but you will in all cases be able to install custom ROMs on it if that is your wish.

You asked really open ended and non specific questions so it's hard to give a direct answer...

[Atrix 4G General] numnutss:
hi everybody, i decided last week to upgrade from my galaxy s to an atrix after seeing all the great accessories and the same processor as my eepad, i ordered a lapdock from amazon brand new for £100 and it looks great, and a used atrix off eBay which was advertised as perfect condition which it wasn't.

I did an update from the phone which put it into a never ending restart loop, i found out how to sort it with someones helpful YouTube video, i am now the proud owner of a rooted atrix that doesn't work as it should with the lapdock, and am having to learn about rooting.

Can anybody recommend a direction for me,?

if i unroot it using one of the android market apps, will i be able to update it with the official updates without it killing the phone again?

if i stay rooted which rom is best for use with lapdock, and camera?

thanks in advance

[Atrix 4G General] spiderx_mm:
so you just want to unroot ur phone or completely want to go back to Stock Blur???

if you just want to unroot, I'd recommend unroot using Super-One-Click. (can search in the forum what it is and how to use it). or if you want to go back to fully stock Blur Rom, try getting a ROM SBF file and flash it with RSDLite.
[Atrix 4G General] numnutss:
thanks spiderx, the guy that I bought the from as decided to cooperate with me returning the phone for a refund, so ill be getting one thats standard, i might look at rooting in the future tho,

missing Sim card

Installed fine, but when I get to set up at the language selection it says it needs a Sim card to activate. I have a Sim card in there. Just in case, I removed it, replaced it and rebooted. Still asking for Sim card...any thoughts?

Damn the bad luck!

Got impatient, flashed this at work (step by step, not new to this). Got stuck at the LANG screen, combo'd past it, no SIM detected.

Go to the CM9 thread here in dev, go back a few pages. I think it was volume up, volume down, back, search. I know those are the keys but I may have the order wrong.

KC, I flashed my nandroid and intend to wait a bit. I tell you though, I'm excited. That ***** was fast! Lol!
[LG Revolution] kcarden:
I got a fix... try re flashing following all instructions, but DO NOT code through the setup lang. screen. Instead select english, allow the sim card to "activate" until it says it is already activated and you see continue with setup process. and then you can just home button, or back button to you homescreen and ta dah!.

I got it first try. lol super fast and sleek ROM mt... Looking forward to updated releases!
[LG Revolution] Cal8192:
The problem I was having (and I assume the same for pborner) was that the activation failed because of the "lack" of sim.

AND THEN WASTE FORUM SPACE. UNBELIEVABLE, this installed first shot with ZERO problems without tricks and without cm9 GARBAGE. 4 G works perfect, NO SIM CARD ISSUES.
