[HTC One X] Flyinace2000:
I am getting pretty terrible Skype call quality. REcieving is fine, but the video i send is washed out. Actually all photos/video from the front camera is washed out, so i don't think it is a skype issue.

This is a screenshot from my laptop calling myself via my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
No problem here, Skype works great on my HTC One X. :)
[HTC One X] jasonrey:
no problem with Skype on my phone. i just wish there was a way to turn off the sounds when receiving messages. no lags as i receive messages simultaneously on my laptop and phone at the same time.

does anyone know how to send a file on a group conversation? can't seem to find it on the menu.
[HTC One X] crazy88:
I don't find Skype brilliant on my hox to be honest. Dare I say it...but it's a much worse experience than my old iPhone 4. The battery drains very quickly, phone gets very hot and I also have camera issues. It frequently shows my camera as upside down, even though the other person sees me fine. It's not a huge problem, but when aiming the camera it can be a pain ha. On a long call to family this evening twice it made the call sound as though it was ringing despite being mid call. Then the program basically crashed the whole device and only a reboot sorted it.

To be fair, that's the only time it happened and it was during a long call. Oh, and it also told me that my wall charger couldn't charge fast enough when making a video call, so I had to resort to audio only so I could turn the screen off.

One last problem was that my parents frequently said how bad my video looked, when it's never once been said on my old phone.

Well there's a negative post :)

Are the bars on the sides due to choosing 4:3 camera in the camera app? I used to have 16:9 and don't remember those borders, but I could be wrong.

Oh, and audio was too low despite full volume ha. It's usable though, just not perfect ;)
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
Skype works 100% perfectly for me. No lag, no problems switching cameras back and forth, no issues whatsoever with the screen rotation or fit. Its as flawless as on my PC or Mac.

Battery drain and heat are a problem with almost every app on the HOX, so that's not a Skype issue. You have the monkeys at HTC to thank for inferior engineering and programming.
[HTC One X] Northantrim:
Skype is mostly fine for me, the only problem I have had with it is that I keep getting a notification saying:

and I find it so annoying because it makes the notification bar look cluttered, and even after tapping it and 'mark all as read' it still shows!
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
It worked like charm and I did a video call with my friend.
[HTC One X] Northantrim:
I've now started using this (was posted on the first page of this thread) works great! Really like it and the custom icon.
[HTC One X] hash89:
skype

:D works fine for me... seem to have very good video capture quality... can not comment on the battery life cz i do not stay online on skype all the time.. i only log in if i need to make a call
[HTC One X] d33f:
When running LCD Tester i noticed color banding on the gradient color screens.

I can also notice this on the default UI of sense especially on the grey buttons.

It looks like in this picture (on the keys)

BTW it's not from my own phone, it's just an example of how it looks in real life on the screen of my One X
[HTC One X] dobbi10k:
Hey,

if the banding can really be seen on the screenshots, the assets just aren't better. But if it is not, it's either the rendering or the screen itself (trying to figure out which one it is atm). To be honest I fear it's the screen itself.
[HTC One X] d33f:
The screenshots aren't from my actual phone, but i used them because in real life on my One X screen it looks like the screenshots
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
I have this banding too.

You can see it in a completely dark room on the settings screen of quickpic for example.

If you do a screenshot of it an look the picture on the PC you can't see the banding.

EDIT: After Update to 1.28.401.9 the steps from the banding are thinner and better (use quickpic settings page)
[HTC One X] MartijnMM:
Made a screenshot of the Quickpic settings screen,

you can clearly see the banding, so its the software.

Haven't seen any banding issues on the HTC One X yet.

See pic where I increased the contrast:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
SOLVED

Hi!

I've been strugling with this problem for a while now. Every time I go to CWM and pick a zip file to flash, it starts writing log, but as soon as it hits the point "Opening update file", it gets stuck there. I waited for an hour, and it just didn't progress. I had CWM work before. Oddly, I can still install Gapps.zip and CM9nightly.zip(I'm using CM9 now, because there ain't no choice...[not saying it's bad rom, it's just greedy for battery])

And sometimes, it won't get stuck there, but instead it aborts the install and says

"E:can't open /sdcard/update-Arconium-ICS-v7.zip

(Bad)

Installation aborted."

(obviously update-Arconium is the rom I try to install)

I have tried to format my SD card couple of times, but it made no difference.

I've tried wiping data, dalvik and cache. No difference.

I've tried corresponding kernels. Again, no difference.

Is there anything I can do?

All help appreciated. Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super-Bosnian:
have u try to download one more time this ROM maybe its not good or try to update CWM

I dont think that is kernell problem

:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
ZOMG! Got it work! Dunno how exactly though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:

How do you people restore home screen arrangement? I use my backup but it doesn't seem to work on sense 4.

Anyone else tried it or has another way to do it?

Its not that fun rearranging all the apps after every full wipe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thor10:
Hi, apologies if this has been covered but i couldn't find anything specific on this.

I got the ICS 4.0.3 upgrade yesterday for my S2, but my root access seems to have disappeared (upgrade was the official Voda UK upgrade via Kies). I originally followed the instructions on this forum to root the phone a few months ago. Titanium backup has stopped working

Presumably I need to re-root? If so, should I follow the identical instructions which I used for rooting my 2.3.5 version?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski123:
Wat lp version is it? Just install cf root kernel and u should be fine. Or speed mod. Up to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
Yes the same instructions, just make sure you root using a cf-root kernel for ICS

[Kindle Fire General] BiteBlaze:
If you go to my website (in signature) you can now access beta testing! I have opened it as my weebly pro account expired and it was expensive :/. So you can head over there and get v1.2 BETA for your kindle! Under members, no testers exist as everyone can be a tester and report bugs and/or issues they have. Also, I have a question: Should I include kernel 3.0 in the next release of my rom? I'm thinking of making 2 builds, 1 with 3.0 Kernel, and 1 with the current kernel. I say this because the current kernel, yes has no hardware acceleration; but kernel 3.0 has A LOT more bugs. Please post your opinion here and I will be sure to consider! Thank you for all of my donors who got me where I am. Donations are appreciated as I can pump builds for devices faster, especially as now I support FOUR devices.

Thanks again,

~ BiteBlaze via XDA Developers
[Kindle Fire General] isaiahhhhh:
I would suggest going with your two build idea since you have a great opportunity to be on the ground floor of this new kernel as it is a turning point in Kindle Fire roms. Also, hi, lol, sorry I went dark for awhile there, got crazy busy in classes and I wasn't able to do much more than post on the forums, my apologies.
[Kindle Fire General] erikiksaz:
The two versions idea sounds good, it'll be fun to try out
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
I second the 2 kernels idea.

Btw what is the change log for 1.2? I tried looking but couldn't find it. Is it significantly better than 1.1 or just marginally? I am on 1.1 and having this urge to beta test 1.2 but 1.1 has been so good so far and don't wish to leave this one :)

To flash or not to flash? :confused:
[Kindle Fire General] BiteBlaze:
Changelog (beta does not have all of this yet): New features on v1.2

1. New Soft Keys (stock soft keys are now blue and reflective)

2. New Lockscreen color (has a blue glow)

3. Flashable Mods (for soft keys and other things)

4. Updated Apps

5. Integrated Google Apps (single flash rom!)

6. Better CPU app

7. Graphic Improvements

8. Bug Fixes

9. Modified build.prop

10. Few other minor things

ETA: now - 4/17

v1.2 is going to be groundbreaking in the progress of ReloadedROM™

Cheers.
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
yes try kernel 3.0.

if nothing else it will be fun testing.:-)

thanks

steve
[Kindle Fire General] Thepooch:
I would be happy to test your builds I ran the first two you put out They seemed fine to me although I am a little leary on kernel 3.0 as it is still pretty buggy closer but buggy nontheless. Im not knocking hashcode hes doing an awsome job with his kernel development and will probably change the kindle as we know it exspecially related to hwa issues of cm9. Anyway wouldnt mind doing a flash or two what you have done has been stable so far:)
[Kindle Fire General] raiderep:
+1 flashaholic here!
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
just posted in dev thread but thought i'd put it out here as well:-) :-)

nice job blaze working very smooth:-)
[Kindle Fire General] 5150jpd:
Nice job! Thank you for opening up the testing. Two hours since flash and so far and so good.
[Kindle Fire General] raiderep:
Running smooth on 1.2, looks like kernel might have some progress soon, then maybe another beta with the new 3.0?
[Kindle Fire General] bi2o:
kernel

Hey guys.

I've been using ics on my kindle for a few months now. And the only thing missing to improve on it is hardware acceleration.

Would the new kernel fix it? Is it the same one that hashcode is working on?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
yes & yes :-)
[Kindle Fire General] Bozz5384:
I'm far from being an authority on this matter, as I am NEW to the Kindle Fire and flashing ROM's, but I like the idea of offering two builds with the different Kernels.

The best way to get a stable Kernel is to have as many people as possible using it IMHO, so this would be a good way since you have one of the more popular CM9 ROM's out there.

Keep up the good work!
[Kindle Fire General] bi2o:
Thank you for ur efforts Biteblaze. When do u expect the ROM based on the new kernel?
[Kindle Fire General] adlefaivre:
Totally appreciate the effort on this rom - definitely my fav.

Has anyone tired 1.2 with hashcode's 3.0 kernel yet?
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
Is there a way to go back to the grey soft keys in v1.2? :)

And great work! First time for me that Google Play downloaded my v1.1 apps automatically upon first boot.
[Kindle Fire General] hadeshorn9:
BiteBlaze! Awesome work on the KF! just started mucking around with my second KF and your rom is by far the best one I have loaded to date! 2 builds also sounds like a great idea. hopefully it won't turn into a real mess for you to support though.

Keep up the great work and I sent you a donation as well!

Seriously great work here!

THANKS!

hi guys, could you possibly help me to explain and contrast the two different connection implementations (TCP and UDP) for an Android chat program please. The main points that need explaining are:

• How connections are established

• How chat conversations are carried out

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
So i just made myself the first? full body skin that covers everything from the back right up to the screen edge.

I made myself a "pr0totype" first to see if it would even work.

First attempt = Blue skin

Second and final attempt = Grey skin

What do you guys think?

It took me about 30minutes to do it.

I didnt use a knife to cut around the screen or camera.. i just used my thumb nail. silded it up and down the gap until it cut the vinyl.

For the speaker i used a knife to make a slit in both the holes.. then lifed the middle part up with a tweezer and cut the vinyl on both sides.

for the two ports i made a hole.. cut the excess off and put both, usb and headjack in to make it stick to the sides better.

as for the mic.. i used a needle to pierc the vinyl then lifed it up and cut the excess off.

oh also when i applied it, i heated it up with my fan heater and stretched it around the phone bit by bit while heating it up when needed... had to make sure there was no creases on the bezel because it would of just collected dust/ peeled off after awhile.

PS: I never remove my battery or sim :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
awesome.. would love to wrap my phone but never done it before. got any extra white vinyl u'd like to send me? hah :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
I got like 1 mile of different types of vinyl lol.

Its quite easy if you take your time. The best thing is that you can peel it off, heat it back up and reapply if you made any type of mistake... like creases or air bubbles.

Im pretty sure you can get small bits of vinyl from material shops. At first i used a thin type of vinyl.. I then tried a thicker type and found it much better... easier to cut since its not as flexible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
is there a specific brand thats widely distributed that i could get in the US that you recommend? not sure where i could buy a small sheet of vinyl. also, is a blow dryer hot enough to heat up the vinyl?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
Well its my Dad thats the expert. He uses http://apaspa.com

I live in the UK so i wouldnt know any places you could go other then material shops.

I dont know if apaspa sells small rolls.

When my Dad comes back ill ask him what type of vinyl it is.. All i know is that you shouldnt use banner vinyl because its very thin and flimsy.

Blow dryer should be fine.. just heat it up untill you can stretch it a little(like 1cm)... then place it down on the back of the phone while still holding it tight and mold it.. heat it up again if needed.

If you do get a small piece then i suggest you test it with small squares until you think you're ready
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
does the vinyl you use have some kind of adhesive on 1 side to stick to the phone better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
oh.. of course. Sorry i forgot to mention that lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
wont it leave a lot of goop on your phone if u decide to remove the vinyl down the line?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
depends.. If you buy cheap vinyl then most likely yes... but i dont think the cheap vinly would even work.. because it has to be stretched quite abit around the edges.

Im 100% sure it wont leave the phone sticky when you remove it IF you dont use the cheap vinyl.

If you're unsure of what vinyl you buy.. just stick it on something that has the same surface and leave it on there for a week or two... heat it up and cool it down a couple of times too.. for "real world use" then peel it off and see the results.

Edit:

Im probably going to change the color every now and then.. so i will post more pictures when i do... a week or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
looks great!

but honestly tho, what IF you have to do a battery pull... example, ive been having kernel issues that is making me do battery pulls... what if you have an app that just freezes and your phone stops responding, requiring a battery pull.... just playing devils advocate here thats all :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
never happened to me... but if it did then id just remove it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark3n:
Looks very sleak! Actually thinking about making a green one :D.

Questions:

How hot does it need to be so you can modify it?

(Thinking if it would change if the gnexus got very hot)

Does it break on removal?

How do the corners of it react to prolonged in/out of the pocket?

How thick is such a sheet?

Do you think it will work as protector when dropping the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
The Nexus doesnt get got enough to change it. Even if you put it in front of a heater it wouldnt change since the vinyl is already applied to the phone

Yes it will. You have to pick at it and use a bit of force to pull it off. Once its off it will be deformed. Plus it wont stick back on properly.

its like you dont even have it on the phone.. it slips in and out like normal.

Its like as thin as paper but is more flexible and is more tougher

Its only to protech it from scratches really.. but if you do drop it, it will give better protection then if you had nothing on it at all.... by protection i mean scratch protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
Looks like a giant phone condom :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yomuppet:
What shape/size was the piece you started with, in order to get no extra material at the corners after you folded it over the bezel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yomuppet:
Bump for Q
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
sorry was on holiday.

it doesnt really matter. I cut the extra vinyl off with my nail. There is no way to make an exact piece that goes all the way around the phone and have no extra vinyl left over without cutting it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohawker2000:
woah that looks awesome though! as long as you don't play with software when you have it on, shouldn't cause any problems. overheating doesn't seem to be an issue right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
no issues at all.

Given the change file uploads with some sites disappearing and other's change the way they do business. In trying to follow links in tutorials it's become apparent that links URL's and passwords aren't working. I propose a third piece of information be added, a checksum. MD5 will do, doesn't need to be fancy just provide a good idea that we have the right firmware with the right password and a checksum will do that.

I9000XXJPO.rar = b543209820794485feba2bb7b2aea861

I am using 4.0.2 stock version and wifi signals are pretty weak. Is there any tweak or some settings i can flash to get better wifi reception . . .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smeg86:
I am having the same problem. Out of 5 phones in the hotel lobby (HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, Iphone 4 and Nokia N97) my Galaxy Nexus had the weakest signal, and sometime even lost the wlan. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
I notice wifi signal drop when i cover the top part of my nexus with my hand

tested in speedtest, it also shows slightly lower signal bars, are you using a wireless N router?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Try flashing different basebands to see if signal improves. Also, I recommend franco's milestone 2 kernel since it has a setting to amplify your wi-fi signal (at the expense of lower battery life)
