[HTC One X] zombiefly:
posted in the other thread about glitches, but thought i'd add my comment here too for completeness:

hi, received my One X on wednesday. from the word go, the screen is ever so slighly flickering. worse on white backgrounds, it's like a shimmer. I also read that a number of people have had screen corruption, along the lines of "an old tv set" with green lines and distortion.... yesterday mine was displaying the same issues while playing video on youtube, green blocks and pixelation, but then it suddenly cleared up for the rest of the video.

I've also had the weird garbling that some videos depict. It reminds me of what happens when a video card in a pc is overheating/dying

Update: weird, if i put the brightness on full, there is no flickering
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pappy53:
Just bought a used Bionic. VZW sent me a new sim card. When I boot it up, the images shown is what pops up. I have never seen this before on any phone. If I hit "search" to continue, it goes to welcome screen. Then when I touch Android to begin, it says to insert sim card, which is already inserted. If I hit "menu" to go to recovery, and in recovery I select "wipe data/factory reset", It does it's thing, and I'm right back to square one. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shesho07:
Hello guys,

I really really need your help, I have spend like two weeks reading articles and possible solutions to my problem and none of them worked.

My cell is the international version GT-I9100 and my PC has W7 Ultimate installed

I have my phone in USB debug mode and have installed USB drivers with KIES

2 weeks ago I was able to get to download mode by using the 3 buttons method with no problems... so I decided to try to install the latest ICS I9100XXLPQ with ODIN

Odin did recognized the cellphone and the yellow label appeared and show the message accepted... so far so good, put the I9100XXLPQ file in PDA, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options and hit the Start button but the problem started there.... it just sits at setup connection and wont do a thing. wait for more than 30 mins and nothing just sits there.

So I unplugged the cellphone from the cable thinking that it would be ok since Odin didn´t started with the flashing process (or at least that what i thought)... there´s the problem, now my cellphone does not came up and I´m not even able to get into download mode. I just get a black screen (see attachment)

I have tried with the 3 buttons, with One-Click Unbrick and with the Jig cable and none of them worked, I just keep getting the same screen.

(by the way... i tried with One-Click Unbrick but it still saying that the drivers are not installed properly so it keep installing the drivers over and over and I have not been actually able to use it.)

Odin is still able to recognized the cellphone so I tried to re-flash the cellphone doing the same thing this time it passed the connection setup and seems that it will worked but after 5 to 10 mins it failed but with no error message. I guess that it wont do anything since the cell is not in download mode.

Any ideas or suggestions would be more than appreciate!

Regards...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
I once had the same problem. When odin sees the mobile even if its not in download mode. This means its connected but the bootloader is broken.

To fix this u need to use some program called hamedal or hamidal or something. I used it to unbrick my galazy tab. you can flash the boot section (bootloader image) manually thru it and it will fix your mobile.

Try to google about it and how to use it. If you don't find anything. Pm me and I will try to help u .

try to use a JIG,it will force the phone to enter the download mode
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shesho07:
I think that you are taking about Heimdall

One Click Unbrick is the same thing.... (Heimdall One-Click project)

I tried that already... but thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
I haven't worked much with i9000 or i777 to figure out heimdall compatibility. Your option is Odin right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maf23:
Your only solution is a USB JIG.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
Just open that program, install the usb drivers for it while connecting your phone and try to flash the zimage.img into the phone manually. I believe it will work. I've fixed many bricked galaxy devices with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILLHYHL:
i just got my GSM GN today.

so far, everything looks amazing, (i mean everything. i checked screens in the dark room with 20% brightness with the grey backgrounds and stuff, voice, sound, gps, data, signal, camera, etc)

except screen in every settings area. i don't know why, but i get horizontal divider lines of colors (not smooth). is this defect?

i checked with many different pictures, but it only seem to happen in those two areas.

this is the only problem i found so far (checked my phone for over 2 hours)

if it is defect, do u think that it's worth to go through all the exchange procedure just because of this? you can hardly notice it though..

once again, everything else is perfect.

if i'm not to return, it, is there any fix for this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
From what I see from your photo , the lines you are seeing are normal for an AMOLED screen. No defect. Most galaxy nexus' have this (some worse than others) yours doesn't look too bad. Also , there is no fix. You can play with the Gama settings in a custom rom, but it'll never go away completely. Have a nice day, and enjoy your galaxy nexus ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
My phone also looks great and I did the grey test like you did, but in settings and sometimes in the Google Play app it looks like yours.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Now if only I could do something about that battery life...

i just flashed exodus theme for AOKP

the color of the menu screen is all black.

no lines at all lol

i only got them in the menu screens. nowhere else.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whaaaat!?:
Hey,

This might be very nooby and I am sorry if this is common knowledge or has been answered before(sorry) but here it goes anyway... I wanted to switch to ICS ROM(Stunner most probably). Is it possible to backup all my apps and messages and contact info and everything with Titanium Backup Pro and would that backup work on ICS rom?

And links to a what-todo-before-switching-ROM guides(backup related) would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttibbetts83:
It should
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
Apps and their data, yes. System configurations, messages, call history probably not. From my experience the other stuff is rather hit and miss and thats going from gingerbread to gingerbread, even the same rom but newer verision can be hit and miss.

I would just count on the apps and their data and that's it. Be sure to do a full Android backup so you can go back if new from does not appeal to you.
[Milestone XT720 General] SharpNick:
Hi, my friend has this phone and she cant receive sms anymore, i told her i could fix it just by rooting it + installing new rom on it, but now im new to these thread so could anyone guide me to which rom is super stable and if i have anything else to flash like a kernel or something. THANKS!!

Ps: this girl is one of a kind and I don't want to let her down so HELP ME PLEASE!! :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
If this phone is stock, then SMS not working is probably due to apn/provider settings being wrong in Settings.

[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
i rooted my phone and followed the guide in

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-htc-sensation-21697/

which worked great and had my phone rooted with S-OFF and full control

then i went to this page and wanted to install a rom and chose

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468683

which i downloaded, after trying to follow the instructions the firmware would install and gave installation aborted so i installed the rom anyways

now the phone boots into the rom but freezes before the loading the phone and restarts.

i am stuck in boot-loop and when trying to recover using the backup it still boot-loops

i think the boot files are corrupt, and i have also tried super-wipe, (super-wipe V2 would load)

even after this i tried installing the custom rom and the backup version and still not working

the firmware still does work and i have tried loading the backup 6 times now using as many different methods such as clearing cache..etc

i even found programs uses to 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.4_RC3_flashing_tool

and ADB_Fastboot_Windows

but those wont work unless the phone is started and in htc sync/usb mode.

any help would be grateful, i am really getting stressed out for not being able to use my phone :(
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
1)You know how to boot into HBOOT, or the bootloader? Do just that.

2) Connect your phone to your computer. You must have all the ADB and SDK drivers installed.

3)Navigate to "Fastboot" using your phones Volume UP and DOWN keys until you reach fastboot. Select using the power button.

4) Go into cmd in Windows.

5)Type the following:

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

6)Type the following:

adb getvar cid

7) Remember what the previous command just told you. It could be HTC_001 for example.

8)Thanks to this dev, go to this thread. Find this in the first post:

Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU

9)See if your CID is listed. If it is not, DO NOT TRY FLASHING THIS. If it is, download the file and flash in HBOOT using the PG58IMG.zip method. Make sure it isn't called PG58IMG.zip.zip.

10) If it isn't listed, use STEP 4 in this post, then flash it.

RE-POST THIS!!! Save devs time to building ROMs and save hassle.
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
i have followed your steps to number 3, now it says "fastboot ac" on phone

with step 5 i found the folder in this directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

after typing in the command after navigating there i get this

and now im stuck as to where to find htc_001

sorry for sounding noobish as im new to this but can you please tell me what i have done wrong to where to go from here ??
[HTC Sensation] Drewstein:
Once in that directory type fastboot getvar cid

Then write down the CID that shows up.

If it doesn't match one in the list of compatible firmware then you'll have to super CID to 11111111.

Edited because I wasn't thinking.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You have to use fastboot, not adb
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
ok i have tried that now it is saying "waiting for device"

the phone is still not being picked up by the computer either by htc sync or by the program through command prompt.

fastboot changes to fastboot ac, not sure if that means its just on charge only and not any other mode :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Drewstein:
Unplug the phone and pull the battery. Then boot the phone back into the initial recovery screen (vol down + power on)

Connect phone to computer. In a cmd prompt navigate to cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Type adb devices (Should come back with serial number)

Type fastboot getvar cid

Hopefully that pulls the CID. Let us know.
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
i have tried this over several times , it still does not pick up the device.

:(

any other ways to get this to work ??
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
Have you just installed the SDK? Open the SDK, and a pop-up should come up. Select Android USB drivers or something similar to it. Check it and install. Try again after this.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
You also need to have your fast boot drivers in the directory that you cd to to issue your fastboot commands.

[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
i have made sure that the usb drivers have been installed infact i uninstalled htc sync and android sdk and reinstalled them both and made sure the drivers are installed.

on there is doesnt say anything like android usb drivers but Google usb drivers is the closest, basically the default settings installed.

for the drivers htc sync has been installed it is also failing to detect my phone.

stringer7, i have made sure i am in the directory and it checks for devices, but it fails to find my htc sensation.

Ive had this phone for 2 months now of a 24 month contract. :mad:

now i just want to reformat it all and install the stock version over, and see if i can get my backup back as it has all my contacts and messages on it which i thought were on the sim. :(
[HTC Sensation] dowanrac:
u mean that you boot into bootloader, u see written HBOOT on the screen, then u connect the usb cable coming from a computer on which both htc sync and ADK/SDK installed (not running, but installed) and HBOOT turns into FASTBOOT USB on the screen but u cant send fastboot commands?
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
when i connect the phone to my computer i manually go to fastboot option using the power key then from there it will say fastboot ac

or if i connect after in fastboot it will change to "fastboot ac"

now im gonna try reinstall the whole setup on another machine or try dualboot with ubuntu and try the drivers through that, :(
[HTC Sensation] dowanrac:
grab a photo of the screen - bootloader screen when u connect. lets see what u got there.

i think its only a communication problem with pc. message on screen should be fastboot USB. not fastboot AC. so it means u simply dont have the proper drivers. if u get a different computer, just install htc sync, reboot computer after that and make sure htc sync program aint running. then connect phone in bootloader. if it says fastboot usb, go to ADK step. if not... weird...
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
heres the photo of the bootloader that shows when connecting to pc

i also tried this on another computer and it still shows the same message. i would try on linux ubuntu but cant seem to find htc sync for it.

any more ideas ??
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
Try Google USB Drivers. Install that.

And please DO try and make your pictures a bit smaller :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] wbb1:
ok i found out my usb cable was the reason and now after getting a new one i get "fastboot usb"

after typing the code on first page i get this, the device is not listed but it shows htc_001 with getvar cid

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...

i am now going to try supercid to see if i can move forward in finally getting my phone working.

EDIT:

it is working now, after 3 long days of no phone,

after installing the rom i used my backup to "advanced backup" to get my data back which gave my old apps and messages along with contacts :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pseudonym42:
Hello,

I got my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, Android 4.0.4 Stock, rooted) hooked up to my LCD Monitor via the Samsung MHL adaptor (HDMI port). My Plan was to use ist as a take-with-you-pc, so i got a Bluetooth Mouse and an BT Keyboard as well.

When i use the Browser or a text editor everything is working fine BUT if i watch a video on youtube(app) or a streaming site (Flash Player/HTML5) in full screen, it shows me the controls (pause, fast forward, search, back, home, ...) only the Phone and not on my LCD.

I am completly unable to control the Phone with my BT mouse, because i cant see the pointer on the LCD (it works on the phones screen)

Even if i pause the Video/open menue/... i cant do anything witch my BT devices besides clicking blind witch a chance of hitting the right button.

When i watch a video using the MX Player in Software mode, everything works.

It seems the "Issue" (probably by design) only occures via hardware decoding.

Is there any Fix for that?

I apologize for language mistakes...

I haven't tried it on 4.0.4, but this was the issue I reported to Google.

I'm thinking of going back to sense after an extended period on miui as I'm bored and until the kernal is released ics is not fully functional. Now my question is what from do I choose. There are so many now there's 2.1, 3 or 3.5. Then there's Endymion, coredroid, bindroid and so on.

What I really want to know is what one works flawlessly and is smooth. Any suggestions to help me choose?

Endymion. By far the most stablest ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I also vote for endymion, not out of my own experience (I'm a cm freak^^), but because lowveld is a great dev and supporter and many users are happy with it.

But, your best bet would be to try it out yourself, hyperion i.e. is also pretty good sense 3.0 or lbc_mod if you like 2.1 better.

Last but not last coredroid also got many users.

Had endymion on most of the day now and first thing that I've noticed near instantly is the screen burn is far worse than on any other Rom I've used.

This may be due to the general theme being more black on white than others, not sure but it really irritates me.

Hey everyone, last week fell in a river and when I got out of the river, and dried my phone out, it had black spots on the camera, but further investigation led me to believe that the lens was not the problem because I cleaned it out with alcohol. nothing would make the spots go away. I was wondering if it was a problem with the phone but that was wrong because I tried the front facing camera and it works fine. I really don't know what to do please help me! The warranty is no longer valid because I unlocked bootloader.

You can try searching for ways to clean the camera. I have heard different mods to clean it. But it takes some searching and looking. There was one for example for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. That is one you could use for reference.
