[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
Last few days been getting shut downs from hell when trying to compile as i stated before. So Today i was on a mission to open this thing up and figure out just what was going wrong. Alas I had no screw drivers that will fit the housing but i did notice there was alot of Gunk on the fan. So i grabbed a big industrial size can of compressed air and a vacuum cleaner. For those of you that dont know what a vacuum is ask your wife she will know. Took can of compressed air and blew out the fan while it sucked out the dirt which shockingly there seemed ot be alot. So i also sprayed in the vents tell No dust came out anymore doing this between the fan and the vents to get anything that might have been stuck.

So after about 10 mins of this (was making sure). Booted laptop went to compile after about a few mins it died again. Wasn't to happy bout that. So I sprayed again found 2 little fir balls got some tweasers and pulled em out.. Turned on laptop again this time the fan was going faster then low and behold 2 puffs of dust came out been working great ever sense lol..

Something to consider, just had a buddy build me a new tower, with a 64bit AMD quad core APU, and 8gb of ram(compiles pretty darn fast) for only about 300 shipped...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Devilman539:
Yea dude. Laptops are like cars man. They need maintenance on the regular i.e. cleaning sh1t out etc. Side note, been running your blackedition and that sh1ts pretty pump my dude. Keep up the good work. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
desktops are np for me at all lol if it was a desktop i would have tore it apart ages ago scene its a laptop i generally just send those out. when i have the money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
I had a similar problem with my laptop randomly crashing every couple minutes when decompiling 1080p movies. Cleaned up the fan and under the CPU. Also re-applied Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU and it's been running cooler and perfect since

Sent from my ICSed T-989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adclem:
Everyone were I work gets a new laptop every 2 years and our IT guy is constantly on us to make sure we are keeping them clean and then fan ports cleaned and that the fans are running properly. If not he does just what you did clean them with canned air and a vacuum and everything keeps working fine.

Not a bad idea to do it every other week or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Repairing computers for my friends, sometimes as a little side business/hobby...this is always one of the items I make sure to pay attention to. After I clean the software...I clean the hardware...blow all the dust off...windex wipe the whole thing (except MacBooks...POS apparently can't handle a damp windex wipe...killed the trackpad on my GF's laptop...thankfully she had apple care...clearly its true the things are designed to never be maintained...). Can't tell you how much cooler and faster a laptop can go from a simple cleaning of its internals.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Raver, can you build the AOSP ROM you have been working on now? :DDD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CoreGMRConMan:
not sure if im happy...

-_-

...or disgusted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] melinton:
Wow.. dude.. just wow.

The man is telling us how he finally got his laptop working by himself because he has no cash to get it fixed and how happy he is and you go and say this? Stupid
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babyj303:
Besides let him get a based established at whatever speed Raver wants he doesn't have to do any of this. But he is that much of a ****in beast ass boss we can't afford to lose him like we have some others for the childish ish that happens around here. The sgs4g forums should be followed clean and everyone friendly. Bit once Raver devs a device he doesn't stop there. And most of his work is done solely by him!!! KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO BOI!!! :thumbup::beer::D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
Raver, trust me...invest in a small tool kit. Take three laptop apart and give it an honest clean. Alcohol and air...also consider remounting the CPU and gpu heatsinks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
I wish I could hit your thanks button more then once :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveinSoCal:
i will hit his "thanks" button too :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BaconStep:
Well said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwebsource:
A little off topic but for those specs at about 300 is a wicked deal. Mind telling me where you ordered all components from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s10shane:
glad to hear u fixed ur laptop. it sucks when they go out on u since a good one isnt cheap lol.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

thats not a bad deal but my computer case alone was $180 (corsair 600T) lol. but u need more then those components to build a computer. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tynen:
Be extremely careful with vacuum cleaners around computers, they create a lot of static electricity and can cause micro fractures on circuitry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
not to mention i have no job lol.. So money is tight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
ya i know that's why i use a static discharge band :P and ground myself before even touching it :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldfingerfif:
Tried to help you out, not sure what a good donation is but hopefully $1 :p will go a long way. Those commercials say it feeds a whole 3rd world country for like 3 days. All jokes aside you'll see what it really is :D

I appreciate your time and work put into the T989 scene, but not just from you but from all developers. I'm trying to learn and maybe one day help. I wanted to say thanks and show my appreciation.

If you're phone is ever down and you need another tester, some logcats or pissed off and need to make fun of someone, I'd be honored.
[HTC One X] vennards:
Ive had my One X for a couple of days now after upgrading from a desire and its not all it lives up to be for me. Heres what im experiencing so far:

- laggy UI

- sense crashes after using an app for a long period of time

- for a quad core phone it doesnt seem that fast, the browser is slow to zoom / drag and crashes sometimes

- APN settings are locked so i cant set up tethering

- i randomly get no signal in places where i know theres fantastic coverage

- movie maker has a bug where if the phone goes to sleep/standby whilst a movie is rendering then the program crashes and is very difficult to stabilise the phone

- limited mobile network settings

The desire is just so much more perfected and bug free, i can count the number of crashes and problems for the 2 years i had it on one hand. Brilliant phone. The one X on the other hand is starting to do my head in already..

Saying that, i did buy the desire at least 6 months or so after it was first released. The one X is a VERY new device only being a few days from release at the time of this post. Im hoping updates etc sort this phone out and turn it into a stable powerhouse that it claims to be.

Thoughts / advice on any of the issues ive mentioned? Maybe ive just got an iffy handset? Its on orange, and the limited white edition from phones 4 u.

Sam
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
I switched from the desire and am not missing the limited internal memory. On my desire I went to a custom rom to do anything when I ran out of space.

Only down side is battery life with screen on is so far about 4 hours but standby power usage is amazing, hardly drops with 4 email accounts syncing and countless other sync jobs.

I wasn't sure drop box integration would work. But it makes managing pics so easy.

Wait for HTC update that should sort some of the early adoption issues. Use chrome browser for internet. So smooth.

One x screen is the best I have experienced on any phone. Have you forgotten you couldn't even see the desire screen in daylight.

I still have my rooted if you want to swap.
[HTC One X] mhbr12742:
You said it all in your last sentence.

if you don't want a phone with teething problems, don't buy a phone on day one. If you do buy on day one, expect issues. I have had 10s of phones from Windows to Symbian, IOS to Android to Meego. Not 1 phone that i got when it first came out did not have issues.
[HTC One X] QWIKSTRIKE:
i wonder if quad core has any thing to do with this...meaning old software may not work as well with a quad vs a dual core
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
HTC need to send the update out which people say improve battery life. I had a custom ics on my old desire and some app crashes is just that apps need to work better with ICS things like threading background tasks etc. I think it's an ics feature so you don't have apps keeping battery awake
[HTC One X] tsleng:
I have a hunch it is the orange bloatware messing things up if your phone is branded.

Otherwise, check firmware version, what is it?

What do you mean limited mobile network setting?
[HTC One X] wardy01:
just because its quad core doesnt mean you arent going to experience any issues, as ppl think ooo quad core and its the fastest and if its not im throwing dummy out,

as mentioned about a day one release phone= many issues to start with ....

its an amazing phone
[HTC One X] hello00:
thxs 4 your opinion.okay.bye!
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
The desire screen must be the most useless mobile screen ever made for daylight use. It's truly terrible :)

I am having the same issues, and also came from a desire. Give this phone time, HTC can't be relied upon to produce the software, so wait for non-HTC root and turn to the community to fix the phone :)

So much for a new start, nothing worse than receiving a £500 device which is flawed due to buggy and rushed software implementation.

Not quite quietly brilliant....
[HTC One X] hamdir:
stop stop stop this getting too ridiculous

do you really expect a device on a new major OS revision and Skin and a completely new SOC vendor to work bug free from day one? ur kidding, then why did they make the very idea of OTA if a bug free software is achievable from day one

I agree its disappointing to have this much defects and s major Tegra3 bug but comeon already the One X is just begining of a long journey

have some patience do you remember how ridiculous the desire was on android 2.1??
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
when the company you are purchasing from tells you they've sorted themselves out and are releasing a new flagship product, then i'd expect 1 or 2 defects, yes. That's not what's happening here is it?

guy: wow, that the new one x?

me: yeah

guy: ewww.. look at that lag, my sensation doesn't do that! and look at that stupid camera, that's going to get scratched in no time... oh, is your screen flashing? wait, it's falling off! ...did you charge this? it's 11am and you have like 30% battery!

me: yeh, err, there's a patch coming that err, might fix it! but we only have the chinese version and I can't root without voiding my warranty!

guy: how much was it again?

apple guy (interject): LOL

...underwhelmed
[HTC One X] pifsworld:
I agree the one x is going to get better and better as did my hd2 and every android phone I've owned,let's give it time..but to the people reporting a loose volume button if u shake the phone really hard come on how often do u shake it phone about? Love the X
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
I must agree with zombiefly here... The bugs should be in the small parts. Not in the main parth of the phone, like games, screens and browser... glitching, lag and... Should be minimilised. And these factors are the biggest problems on the one X however.

Problems like a calendar with over 20 appointment doing weird is a bug that no one would really go crazy abouth. And that this is a bug that made the first release is understandable. The first part of the problems I mentioned, isn't...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
two things I don't understand

90% of the reviewers were floored by the device and believe me the same sites that used to slaughter HTC for the past year and yet no one complained about one bug, in fact most said its bugs free

in the poll thread u have around 80% saying their device is perfect, I myself bought two and found non

so you tell me who should I believe? 10% if the reviewers, 20% of the users in the general section or lie to myself?

you know what it just hit me, I'm willing to bet most complaints are coming from previous iPhone and Samsung users just because are different than what they r used to

my iBoss once decided to buy my old desire out of curiosity and man he almost committed suicide, he didn't last two days and said everything is broken and not working, hek his face started to deform

the very same Desire that our OP in here said is better than the One X

besides the genuine factory defects and the Tegra3 bug I call every other complaint subjective
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Tegra 3 bug?
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
Agreed: Now I do understand bugs are there in just about every phone and to be honest they are normally bugs you can live with until an update; the problem here is that the bugs are completely preventing the use of the device and/or making the use of the device very difficult. No phone should be released with this being the case.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

That thread is about built quality though not about the actually OS of the phone and the issues when using the device. The majority of bugs are not acceptable to be honest... We all understand there will be bugs (i said this above) but they should affect the actually ability to use the phone.
[HTC One X] flakz0r:
If you come from a Desire, then you must remember how it was in the beggining... the Desire matured really well with updates, also had its fair share of problemas in the beggining. Was a great phone though, as is the One X.

Give it time, the phone is already awesome, but with AOSP + a good custom kernel this is going to be even better :)
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
Agreed the phone is an amazing device; no doubt the best I have used. Some of the bugs are easy to be patient with (providing they will be fixed), some of them though are serious and do cause major issues. I guess it all depends on how quickly an update will be out; I mean lets be fair in the UK this phone has only been out for just under 2 weeks now SIM Free and just over a week on carriers and no doubts its sold shed loads!

My issue is how quickly will an update come out? Also will it come out on SIM Free first; and if it does how long after will it be before the carriers release the update? The last thing I want is to be sat using a phone with bugs for the next month or two and I think most people would think the same. If its a matter of a week or two for most/all the bugs to be fixed then everyone would be happy to wait.

It's a shame there has been no reports from HTC on this...
[HTC One X] stone101:
can i just say that i have had the phone a week

no bugs

no juddering display

no lag in apps or Chrome

no crashes

and battery lasts me over 24 hours no problem since day 1 (was careful with first 3 charges)

i am very pleased with my first Android handset having had Blackberrys/iPhones for past few years and i hope to remain an Android user for many years to come.
[HTC One X] BeciMester:
Tell them to come back to you after 1 or 2 months when the custom ROMs are starting to come in droves and your battery is broken in properly, we'll see who's the daddy :D

Seriously people: early adopters = beta testers. It seems to be the norm these days. I'm not saying it's OK, just that it's happening, like it or not. Give the phone a little time.

^^The man's right. 2 years ago I bought the flagship phone of the time: the Desire, and I still vividly remember how terrible it was when I got it, both software and battery wise; 3-4-5 hours out of the box, like the One X now. The battery got a LOT better with use, over the course of a couple of weeks, and most of the software problems were sorted, albeit by custom ROM chefs. Don't know about official HTC soft though, as I rooted within a week of getting the Desire and put on a non-Sense ROM - I never looked back. It'll be the first thing to do again when I pick up the 1X, I hate Sense with a passion.

To be honest, this whole "omfg crap battery" and "omfg buggy software" thing is a bit of a storm in a teacup. I suspect immature Tegra drivers in the background, also the 4 main cores do a lot more work than they're supposed to, probably because most of the apps out there still need to be optimised for ICS. I'm confident it'll get sorted and I still plan to buy the 1X once I get the finances sorted, it's the first phone I'd consider replacing my Desire with.
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
Can we have some details about your device from the Software Info int the about section? This will allow us to compare with what we have. Also for how long do you use the phone daily and what are the main apps?
[HTC One X] stone101:
running 1.26.401.2

Used it as a phone with texting and messaging apps while at work all week. Used Splashtop Remote a fair bit to connect to my PC at home. Dont play games on it. Sonos/Transdroid/Tunein Radio/Twitter/ScoreMobile i suppose have been my main apps.Used the video camera extensively on Sunday night at a gig to test the video capability and tbh that is the only thing i am unimpressed with but i am not a big camera user so not all that bothered.
[HTC One X] wardy01:
i have like the above poster not had any issues at all and my process around battery went like this

got phone on quarter battery-stright on charge for 7 hours,

off charge used heavely and got 5 hours from it ,

got home left phone turned off and put on charge for 12 hours

turned back on and it last 13 hours hours

back on charge for 7 hours with phone turned on and i have had 2 days now were my battery has gone over 24 hours use,

i send around 100 texts per day

15 mins calling

ebay/facebook/mail/maps, use for about 2-3 hours in total a day

downloaded 4 more apps,

few photos today, bit of browsing, and played on gta3 for 25 mins , along with draw somthing and worms,

woop there it is

i have had 4 htc phones then i went to a nexus s custom roms, and now back to this , my mrs has the nexus and i really think this is so much more stable and runs so much better overall,

this is a great bit of kit and htc havent let me down,

cheers
[HTC One X] eightlegs:
Ok here's my take...... I've been waiting on something decent coming out to replace my Desire S which is off contract. As soon as I saw the One series I knew either the X or S was my next phone with the X being first choice. I'm no stranger to custom roms/flashing etc currently running proxusers excellent Miui port on the DS.

So the HOX in white arrived today and I must say I feel a tad disappointed too. Don't get me wrong this device is beautiful and clearly very powerful but HTC Sense? What a joke - I didn't expect to find still the same full screen widgets that show bugger all information. I upgraded to a massive screen to be able to see more on screen at any given time NOT just have everything bigger - I'm not blind dammit. I've even set font size to small in display settings but this doesn't appear to affect the sense widgets.

Reading the defects thread my HOX doesn't appear to suffer any problems listed other than personal niggles relating to software etc. Oh but hang on..... That beautiful screen.... Why's it so damn warm (as in yellowy tinge)?? My Desire S and iPhone 4 are both very cold white by comparison and all are LCD of one form or another. Will the One X screen whiten up with time or are there any colour settings to play with? It looks even worse against my callibrated plasma. Nearest thing I could describe is its as if the screen is printed on newspaper as opposed to pure white paper. Still looks stunning especially on films etc but side by side to others showing mainly text on white...not so sure.

And while I'm at it what's with the waiting for menus to load? For example go to your app drawer and use the tabs at the bottom to change screens. It waits and loads. Cmon shouldn't this thing preload them?

Hopefully this can all be put down to early software and also maybe too high expectations but I seriously can't wait for MIUI to arrive so I can thoroughly enjoy this phone as it should be.

Wouldn't swap it for the world tho - I can see great things coming for this slab of power.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Looks like he did hurt your feelings.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
most objective common sense I've read since a while

if you don't agree with this man, you simply don't know Android

from the unit I tested the screen was warm like you describe, due to the lamination glue, let's hope it lessen with time otherwise we will a CM like calibration tool
[HTC One X] QWIKSTRIKE:
You do need to return this phone.....please get it done
[HTC One X] Skeldrath:
2 Days in for me:

T-Mobile Software 1.26.110.5

I have to say at the minute I'm loving it, screen is amazing ICS runs like a dream

(and no slow-down on sense 4.0 like on earlier models)

Battery life - Too soon to call it as I've not been out of the house yet, one episode of arrested development on netflix drained 8% of the total batter (about 21 mins) on standby it seems to drain really quite slowly. But it is the screen which is taking up the lions share of the power use to be fair.

One gripe - I tried to USB charge it from my laptop (did this all the time with my last phone) and it said the phone was draining more charge than it was receiving, So that won't be do-able this time round - Will have to carry a charger on me.

Haven't tried any games etc yet, but Will get around to it.

Blown away so far (came from a HTC Hero, so that wouldn't be too hard!)
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
I just got my One X, coming from a Sensation XE. The UI is certainly much speedier signifcantly tbh. For one thing, downloading apps and navigating the Play Store is much more responsive (on same wifi network).

I am though unimpressed by the camera as i expected vibrant images and details but found quite some noise with pictures captured under auto settings. Shall do further testing but all in all, its a very well rounded phone that should be of HTC :)
[HTC One X] emorej:
Im really sad with my htc one x :(:(,because i dont see any issues with it,or what the OP has written.! Im really sad because its the king if all android as of now:D:D

Cheers!
[HTC One X] 777ace:
It strikes me that [MOST] people having issues have had their devices imported from places like Clove or Handtech, and other similar outlets worldwide. Not saying this is the case with the OP (and not dissing these companies of course), as source was not mentioned, but even here in Australia, many people that have sourced online and received HongKong or Chinese devices are reporting annoying glitches.

I bought mine over the counter, from a national chain store called AllPhones, and honestly cannot report any issues whatsoever...and it seems the same goes for others that have bought "instore".

I love this thing. An utterly amazing piece of technology. I wanted to upgrade my Desire with a Desire S...then Incredible S...then Sensation, but I kept thinking not yet, not yet, just wait. Just a bit longer...and OMG! Very stoked with my new toy :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
It's clear the phone was rushed to meet its 5th April deadline, first adopters were the most excited so its stupid to disappoint them this way

HTC responded about the One S situation

mobile.theverge.com/2012/4/11/2942239/htc-one-s-chipping-response?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
[HTC One X] jmpmjmpm:
Yes. Major bug free. But are we going to get it? No. Not while there are people out there willing to accept it. Considering the short lifespan for a mobile device (that is to say most people keep them for 2 years) it is perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to use it as a "daily driver" from day one. What is ridiculous is to suggest otherwise
