I hate you all hahahahha :P

I wanted the HTC One X but after seeing this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3a2s9xRbK0

Decided I'll take the Nexus but now it's all back to 50/50 hahaha

Spec wise the One X wins hands down. I don't mind some issues on the software side but HTF can they show 2x 30th on a calendar lolz...

I had the sensation and loved the phone until I started downloading applications and games and a lot of emails. The phone started getting really slow when opening emails or sms or anything else. Can someone please comment on this (someone who has loads of mails and sms'e and so on)

Think I'll take the One X and if I don't like it I should be able to trade it for a Nexus.

@Jac83 - Not really a lot of places that display's the real unit. We usually get dummy phones and have to look at it that way :( Some shopping centers does have the phones but only certain times so think I'll wait till the 7th and try to go to a place to view it :)

tx guys

The laggy emails and sms? I've got loads of emails and SMS and of course there comes a time when it lags a bit. What I do is I empty the cache in the browser. My SMS never lags.

I'm currently using a 1GHZ Sony Xperia Neo, stock rom.

Get the OneX, you won't regret it :)

[General Questions and Answers] Goku80:
never had the flicker bug and i do not want to try and see if i have that. i had two handsets already and i am on my third one. it is a beautiful phone to have and i would highly recommend it to you. what i would suggest to you is get the handset from a network company or a dealer that if you have any faults with it that you can send it back straight away. i am now on my third one and loving it. so i hope you enjoy it if you decide to go with it in the end
[General Questions and Answers] RenVilo:
I well get it on our Vodacom service provider. They have a 7 day policy. If there's any issues with the phone within 7days then they will give you a brand new unit. If it's older then 7days and I get an issue they will have to send it in for repairs or replacement depending on what HTC says (but this will take weeks in South Africa)

On your 3rd. Dam doesn't sound good. Why if I may ask?

Can you perhaps give me some idea or checklist that I can do to make sure there's nothing wrong with the phone because 7 days isn't a lot lol
[General Questions and Answers] Goku80:
sure. the problems i had were very minor to what others have been encountering but here it goes.

first was the rattling noise. even though it is not that big of a deal and not normally shaking my phone, knowing it is there did my head in.

second slight little gap were the power button was. again stick a cover over it and would of been ok. and i mean case not cover..but still knowing it is there would bug me.

third and this happened on my second phone power button became loose. so now on my third one. will say that all three times i considered going to the galaxy nexus. but i am sticking with my current one as it is working ok now and so far it feels more solid than my other two previous ones.

regarding a list of issues to look out for. look for flickering issues with grey backgrounds. ehh again the rattling noise(which should not be a big issue really), make sure that screen is not creaking and not have any gaps and so on.

head over to the htc one x general forum and you will see loads of threads there with known bugs and issues which should help you out on what to look out for

I am in the exact situation to you in that I went from Sensation to the Note which I love and am still keeping but I could live with something smaller for day to day tasks.

Its One X vs Nexus vs SGS3 vs other upcoming 4.7" screens.

I suspect I will wait for the SGS3 announcement, find I am underwhelmed and get a cheap second hand nexus.

If you are paying the same price for both then get the One X.

Hi folks,

I flashed the ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.2U1 ROM on my phone and I have now been waiting for first boot to complete for well over 90 minutes (animation looping continuously).

I wiped Dalvik-cache, formatted the SD-Ext partition as recommended and then flashed the ROM.

How long is the first boot supposed to take? Should I remove the battery and try flashing again?

HTC Desire

S-OFF

Radio 5.17.05.23

Stock hboot

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugi986:
It says about five mins

just be patient :D

I froze my self few days ago until I've red it in their thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
this is known as a bootloop. whenever your phone does this for a long time, don't bother waiting for 90mins, it's not going to go anywhere. pull the battery.

as a bare minimum you need to perform a full wipe before flashing a rom: 'wipe data/factory reset' option within recovery.

i don't think you have done this, therefore you have bits of old and new rom mixing up so it bootloops
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Aye, correct. Before you flash a new rom format boot, system, data, cache, dalvic and sd-ext (which you need if you want mounts2sd!!)

It also says on the BCM thread that at first it may take a while to boot, and 2nd time it will not boot at all, for which you press volume down, power and trackpad to restart the phone, and it will boot fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreendroid:
Thanks for the replies all, as it turns out I hadn't wiped the /data partition prior to installing the ROM.

Although I now have a "insufficient storage space" available issue even though I have enabled m2sd. Is anyone else having the same problem?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Piemo:
Hi mates!

Surely lots of us, have seen that if you install credentials certificate for WiFi connection (University protected 802.1 WiFi or Office ones) on Android ICS 4.0 you have to use one unlock method between:

-slider unlock

-password

-PIN

In fact you can't use anymore any other kind of unlock which is not "protected" by a sort of password.

On Gingerbread 2.3, the same installer needs to retype the password of the archive at every reboot (maybe even worse than ICS)

I'm asking for someone able to create a MOD which can allow user to use all the unlock methods, even with a credentials certificate installed.

I don't know where the magic needs to be done, if in the Kernel or in the framework.

Thanks for your attention.

I'm sorry if this is not the right section, but I'm not sure of what this MOD is.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!tch:
i'm using bcm rc3.2u1 on my nexus one and i'm mostly happy with that rom.

but when i'm listening to music while my phone is in my pocket i'm always switching play/pause or jumping to the next song involuntarily.

how is it possible to deactivate the music widget on the lock screen?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinical:
I had the same problem. The problem isn't the widget its actually in the music settings.

Go into the music app settings and under UI, shake & Flip settings. For me, the Shake action was set to none, but was still enabled to go to next so I just reselected 'None' and that solved that problem. Its also set to pause when the phone flips so you might want to turn that off as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M!tch:
thx for your reply.

in my case the on/off-button gets pushed and random touchscreen inputs switches the song.

i can reduce the effect if i turn the smartphone in my pocket so that the backside is on my leg but it doesn't solve the problem.

shake & flip actions are set to none (and also switched to any other option and back to none).

My phone had to be sent away for repairs and they decided to replace it for me. Just before it got sent away, I updated to the 12070 firmware so Zune had created a backup.

Is there anyway of getting Zune to restore the backup to the new phone?

I've plugged it into Zune and it comes up as a seperate phone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Boburto:
There are a few older threads where someone made an backup tool using zune (Look at general WP7 devices not just Lumia). If you can find those old threads you can find if it's possible to put the backup on a different device. From what i remember it's possible only if both devices were identical.

EDIT: Seems i'm wrong. As JusThink said, this can't be done.

Backups can only be used on the same device. This means really the same device, physically, and not the same OEM and model.
[Nokia Lumia 800] loewie1984:
If it's possible for you to find the cabsender tool in the Nokia cab files topic. You can try to create a backup that's Zune will acknowledge without flashing your telephone to another cab/rom.

take a look at this topic listed on the site:

1800pocketpc.com/tutorial-cab-update-to-8107-dont-wait-for-the-carriers/ 26341

or find it at google "xda cabsender" 3rd hit: "Tutorial: Cab update to 8107 ( don't wait for the Carriers )"

Yes, you can make backups all you want, they won't work on another device. That's the point ;)

Hi ,

Wanting to get rid of 3 uk junk and flash to normal UK RUU

Do we need super CID?

My bootloader is unlocked , can't download the RUU from from the Dev section as all the slots are gone , or when it seems to work it errors out .

Has anyone got the latest UK RUU file they can share with me and can someone confirm if I need Super CID to run RUU to unbrand

Thanks in Advance
[HTC One S] zeroprobe:
Just flash Modaco or the Virtuous roms through recovery, these are unbranded and really good.

You will need to flash a Recovery image first though.
[HTC One S] wardy:
Hi and thanks

Yes , I understand this but I want to just unbrand through RUU then re-lock my bootloader.

Do we need Super CID ?
[HTC One S] wardy:
Ok can someone remind me if I need S-Off to change the CID , playing around with ADB at the moment
[HTC One S] alchemyst:
If Im honest mate, no idea what you mean by CID...

But if you want a new rom, all that needs to be done is unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash rom.

Thats all anyone has done in the dev threads, and worked fine for me (coming from a retail, unbranded unit).

You can 'lock' the bootloader again, BUT it never goes back to its true original state. This is as HTC designed their unlocking/locking process to be (and is stated in their terms when you go to their site to unlock).

Edit: OK, just read up on it. Possibly then! Depends how annoying 3 are I suppose... Probably best to ask one of the devs

Edit 2: CHeck the following, may be of help (though its for the One X)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594262

http://android.modaco.com/topic/353106-debrand-one-x/

Edit 3: If you're applying a flashable zip, does the CID limitiation on RUUs even come into play?
[HTC One S] wardy:
Hi thanks ,

Yea what I want to achieve is this .

My CID is HG3____001 this will need to be changed to a CID that is HTC UK specific usually HTC_____001

To find out your CID in ADB

Fastboot Getvar CID

To get to a retail version from a branded version , what usually needed to happen was this .

Unlock bootloader , change CID to 11111111 via ADB

Run the specific UK RUU.exe

Change your CID to the HTC_____001 which is the usual default for UK unbranded devices .

re-lock your bootloader and then you should receive OTA updates from HTC instead of your network supplier which can take months

I can't remember if S-off was needed to do this. I have just checked revolution site and One s is not listed , will play around tonight though and see

Thanks for the help so far
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hi, I know what CID is - coming from the Sensation.

I dont think its possible to change CID without S-OFF, you cant use advanced ADB functions with S-ON :(

Until revolutionary or someone else makes tool for S-OFF, we will just have to stick with HTCDev, Its not the best, but it allows to flash recovery and ROMs so its better than nothing.

Im pretty sure there will be some progress in the next few weeks, Once the phone is available worldwide :D
[HTC One S] wardy:
Ahh ok , thanks , yea this phone is set S- on , so S-off will be needed sooner or later
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yeah, as development develops and more rights are needed from the phone, S-0FF will eventually be a MUST.

I wish it was available already, I hate the fact that HTC know i have tampered with my HBOOT and voided my warranty.

Luckily enough, if i have a problem, my provider fixes / repairs the phone, Not HTC, So i might just get off lightly :D
[HTC One S] wardy:
I think HTC will know if you have tampered with the phone period if they wish to look that far into it .

Unless you fry your processor where you have set it too high etc then shouldn't be a problem. If you have a hardware problem such as your screen fails , battery etc then should be fine .

As you say though , if you brought it through a retail unit then that is where it is returned so in some respects is a bit easier as they will use a third party repairer acting for HTC .
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
well with the sensation it was possible to return everything back to stock, Including the bootloader and S-ON..

There was no way it could be diagnosed as being tampered with, If you did it properly..

But with HTCDev. youve already submitted a code (which i assume contains serial number) so all they have to do is check whether that device matches anything on their database of tampered devices. Thats why i dislike it so much..

But i need root for most of my apps so there was no workaround for me...
[HTC One S] wardy:
I see on the One X forum S-off is under way :( . Can't wait to get this baby to true stock.

Here are 2 types of bricks :

1.Soft Brick - Reparable , SEUS , Flashtool

2.Hard Brick - Nonreparable , phone dead .

If you want to flash a custom kernel u need first to unlock bootloader , very dangerous , it leads to hard brick.

The custom kernels have recovery buildin so from there u can flash ROMs.

About Root , use Superoneclick , use search button ;)

Thanks for the link man. Wow rooting and customizing here takes a little more time on w8/x8... With bootloaders to be unlocked.... On the galaxy s all you need is to flash a kernel using odin. The kernel automatically unlocks the bootloader and of course rooting the phone. also installs cwm superuser and other root stuff... Although rooting here on w8 is easier by using superoneclick right?

About the bricking thing, its ok ive experienced bricking before with i9003. Hard bricked twice, but got lucky that the customer service never suspected it was rooted. Soft bricked before when odin was not responding...
