Ok, so I have ICS ROM from Mike1986, not sure which version - there have been updates since but I've noticed that when trying to watch videos from websites using the browser, the video plays fine, I just have no sound?

I also just noticed that when recording videos using the camcorder and playing the video back, I have no sound aswell.

I have a Sensation.

Any ideas? I need sound! :(

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvizii:
My problem is when I turn on the phone, the Google logo stays stuck and after unknown minutes boots in with the software animation, but very slow! First a little history of my upgrades with this phone.

My friend bought me Nexus S T-mobile version for US 6 mounts ago, and the phone was with Gingerbread 2.3.4. After reading many post from here, I decided to upgrade because I can't upgraded 2.3.6 OTA. After many hours I finally upgraded it to 2.3.6.

Then ICS came out, and again, I upgraded to 4.0.3. Then, a few weeks ago, I got the 4.0.4 OTA notification. Happily I taped yes. And then before two days ago, my phone just died. I don't know how.

I have 115 installed application, no music inside, no ROOT - just pure stock. I was in my college room and I left my phone on the desk right in front of me and after few minutes when I looked at the phone, the Google logo was there. I didn't give the phone to anyone to picks or anything. When I get home, I turn the phone on and still the Google logo just was there doing nothing and like I said before, after unknown minutes the phone boots in with very slow animation of the ICS software. I decided to install Clockwork Mod recovery 5.0.2.0 and root the phone. After reading many tutorials I installed CWM recovery successfully. Then I tried to downgrade to 2.3.4 and successfully I did that to.

Now after doing all this things to this phone, after so many hours in pain, the phone is nothing like one week ago. The booting is very slow, the animation is veryyy slow, and I don't know what to do anymore... I think this is hardware problem.

Please help me solving this problem, I really expect someone here to know what is the problem and will help me in anyway. I'm desperate, and I don't know what to write here to tell you how desperate and sad I am...

Thank you in advance.

p.s. sorry for any grammar mistakes.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Yesterday, I was given a Wildfire S to put on a custom ROM. It was actually my younger sister's and while she was perfectly happy with it performance wise, the internal memory's a joke - some 150 MB!!

So i promptly proceeded to amaze her with the flamboyant show of HTC Dev unlock, followed by rooting and CWM recovery. Then i downloaded a ROM with A2SD built in, placed it on the sd card, partitioned the sd card to support an A2SD partition and a linux swap partition, and flashed the zip after a full wipe. After flashing the new ROM, i was all but ready to flash boot.img from fastboot, i decided to scare her by trying to boot without that and get the phone to hang on the splash screen, then extort a treat from her to get it to boot!!

That's when it hit me in the nuts. It booted! So i attributed it to the ROM being a Sense ROM, able to run on the stock kernel - so i went and checked the phone info - and there it was - a custom kernel!! The same that was included in the ROM zip.

This got me thinking - is it only us that have to flash the boot.img separately? Why can the WFS guys flash custom kernels from recovery itself? I thought the HTC Dev Unlock method prevents you from writing to the boot partition??!!

Maybe Tectas can shed some light on this - I see you're also a WFS guy. Any thoughts on this guys?

EDIT : I'm so sorry this got posted in the Themes and Apps section. Have requested it be moved to the General Section. Goofed up with the tabs on my browser and ended up creating this thread in the wrong section. Sorry guys!!

[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:

did you use 4ext?

Edit: saw you already mentioned cwm

Swyped from my Desire S waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I would have used 4EXT in the blink of an eye - problem is, 4EXT doesn't support the Wildfire S currently. The currently supported devices are : HTC Sensation / XE, Incredible S / 2, Desire Z / G2, Desire S, Desire, Desire HD, Inspire 4G, myTouch 4G, Nexus One, Thunderbolt, Evo 3D GSM / CDMA, Amaze

Back to topic : anyone else used any other HTCDev Unlocked device who can flash kernels from recovery?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
I'm more or less a wfs guy^^

My gf got one and i take care of their index thread, but i'm pretty less active there since my 2. girly was born.

Also hers is xtc s-offed, because there was no htcdev unlock when she got it and she doesn't let me play that much with it.

I wonder that it was flashed from cwm directly without fastboot, but there are 2 possibilities coming to my mind how this could be possible.

1. Their cwm is an unofficial implementation made by alquez as far as i know, could be that he already made what madmaxx is atm working on.

2. Because the wfs isn't a popular device and they even needed a petition to get at least the htcdev method to unlock their bootloader aside from xtc (for sure only at gsm devices, the wcdma wfs has other possibilies to unlock), htc could have given them a little goody and removed the /boot restriction for recovery.

No matter which case fits, there are many devices needing to flash the boot.img when htcdev was used (i.e. the htc one x also has this restriction at recovery).
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That's the thing... the CWM recovery I used was downloaded and flashed using ROM Manager... so it's the original one by koush. I really don't see why HTC would do something like give the WFS an unlocked boot while deny it on other devices....? There must be something else to it.

The last thing I am willing to believe is that HTC took pity on the WFS owners and did this as a kind gesture. HTC is a corporation - a device manufacturing machine.... and just like any other, it may be good at what it does, but it does not have a heart. None of them does.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Could for sure be something else behind it.

Never wanted to say they would have done it as a kind gesture (i totaly agree that such a corporation got no heart at all), more to calm them down and keep them up buying htc products, because there where many disappointed wfs users (the petition they made even where featured at the xda portal).

If this is the case why the /boot partition got no write restrictions, i guess it's related to marketing not kindness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
I was thinking why the hell do we need this 4G /LTE speed anyway if it's going to be such a battery hog? I catch myself switching to 3G to preserve battery all the time and on 3G for almost 95% of the day. What do you use the LTE speed for that I'm missing out on? As much as I despise anything Apple, no wonder they aren't in any hurry to bring it to the iphone. If you' asked me it was a great ploy by verizon to increase speed and then get rid of unlimited plans to make more money.

Just ranting. Missing my thunderbolt's HUGE extended battery. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
I agree 100%. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile and I think the HSPA+ speeds are sufficiently fast enough for what I do on the phone (browsing, Facebook, maybe watch an occasional video etc). 4G would just unnecessarily rape my battery.

In fact, I was a Sprint customer before and their poor excuse for "3G" was so slow, that I was floored when I got speeds up to 9-10mbps on T-Mobile as opposed to .98-1Mbps on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithRVA:
I have a 3800 mah battery I bought for $20 on ebay, and it supports nfc. Problem solved. I use LTE for netflix, youtube, podcasts, ect. I could live without it, but it's insanely fast compared to vzw evdo 3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
That's almost like asking why we need high speed internet at home when dial-up did everything we needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
Im not going to say that 4g speeds are unnecessary or worthless but I dont use it. As I explained in another post the other day. We get great 3g coverage here and I can save alot of battery running 3g instead of 4g. With the exception of video everything works great. Video just needs a few extra seconds to buffer. But lets not blame 4g for getting rid of unlimited plans. Getting rid of unlimited was going to happen anyways.

DirgeExtinction- That's almost like asking why we need high speed internet at home when dial-up did everything we needed.

Almost? Not even close. There is no advantage to use 4g over 3g for 90% of the things your going to do on the internet. Assuming 3g coverage is as good as 4g your not going to pull a webpage up noticeably faster, Google Nav isnt going to run any better, and music streaming apps should be just fine. With your analogy even the most basic internet tasks were improved considerably. Do you even remember what dialup was like?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
People said the same thing during the transition from Edge to 3G. "Where'd my battery go? 3G uses too much battery. I'm always going to keep it on Edge." The chipsets and batteries will catch up, and in a year or so, turning off LTE will seem as silly as "leaving it on Edge."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thank you!

I couldn't have said it better than myself.

LTE is 1st gen tech in current devices. Of COURSE it has issues such as battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That is entirely subjective to the user.

And...yes, LTE DOES browse faster. You would be wrong there. Is it fast enough to matter? Once again, entirely subjective.

I can get where I need to go in a Hyundai Elantra. I rather do it in a Porsche.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomnameftw:
Excuses, excuses. Battery life was excellent, actually about as good as my Hspa+

nexus, using my old s2 skyrocket. If we don't need "lte", then we don't need

high speed internet at home either. Browsing, watching videos, etc.. is

substantially faster on Lte. With the certain exception of some phones, battery

life on Lte is not that bad, and will improve drastically with the newer releases this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
If you don't think it's worth it, turn it off. Personally I think it's great and hate it when I'm in an area without it. It's not hype to me it makes everything better faster. The best part is, you can turn it off when you want better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] number3pencil:
Have you USED the verizon 4g? Its soooooo ****ing fast. It even rivals the speed of the internet I get at home with comcast. When my brother is hogging the internet, I just switch to tether and use it on my home computer and it's awesome. Yes, it does eat up battery, and I usually switch it off if I'm going somewhere for an extended period of time. But when I'm actively using my phone, why would I not want to download at 2 megabytes per second?

Your ranting argument is hilarious...

Why do we need dual core smartphones, all it does is eat up battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I totally don't care about lte cause with hsdpa 42Mbps I'm fine with it. I'm sure at some point I'll change my mind. But I'm not looking forward to lte battery drain until the chip sets get smaller and more efficient in a few years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Except that...the Galaxy Nexus doesn't support 42Mbps from Tmo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
If couldn't turn it off I could understand the *****ing, but you can. Problem solved. And that is the price you pay for adopting 1st/2nd Gen tech. You're making it cheaper and more efficient for us guys when we decide to go for it. I played a with a gs2 skyrocket today and was impressed it got 3 megabytes dl speed. Faster than my 1.5 megabyte cable internet hardwired. I wish I could test run it just to see how bad battery is but I'm cool with it. I would probably adopt lte faster if carriers gave us a decent amount bucket data plans for the price, not to mention tether for the same data. If I had something to ***** about it would be the measly data plan, with no tether, you get for $30 that you can go through in 30 minutes if you wanted. As a matter of fact you should. Adopting it early and then *****ing about a trivial problem instead of a real problem means you like getting bent over. And you happily paid for it when you got the phone. And you cant say you didn't because you knew there hasn't been a magic phone with lte. Yet. And I don't see apple pulling it off for at least another generation of lte phones.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
I guess I'm glad that it's there if I want it. But functionally, I've never once actually gone and toggled it on because I was doing something that I wanted more speed for. So maybe I'm not the target customer.

Like most things that service providers do in the public sphere, I think the excessive marketing that goes into the feature is a complete disservice to everyone, and I think the mindset that demands new features to be hyped up like this is a complete disservice to the industry. It's like some kind of trainwreck symbiosis. But the way the advertising wing of these companies is set up, a prominent suggestion that 4g is anything less than BLAZING FAST AND AWESOME is not going to happen.

I do think that the correct implementation of this on current phones should be prominently featured toggles to turn it on/off at will, instead of a setting buried under a few layers of menus. I remember when I first got my phone, there was no way to set a 4g toggle that just performed the function, instead of being a shortcut to that menu. Custom roms offer that. I wonder if Sense et al have these toggles built into them by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveubuntu:
ranting is not an argument. ranting is....well, ranting dude. It's my opinion. Not arguing anything.

And yes, I have used the LTE. I've used it since the very first day the Thunderbolt came out (first LTE phone). The point of my "argument" was that I (stress, I) really don't need it for anything I (again, I) do on my phone. Accessing info I need is fine on my 1.2 Mbit/s 3G speed.

The comparisons with home Internet speeds and dual core processors is rubbish. Totally different scenarios. CPU speed and home Internet is necessary. But please, don't tell me that we need 20+ Mbit/s on our phones to watch the latest viral video of the guy fingering his dog's nose on YouTube.

Here is another one for you, lets just get rid of this damn youtube. :D:p

I just wanted to see what people were wasting bandwidth on. ;)

I do love the answer that hardware will catchup eventually and we don't have to "argue" these points.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AwaisKhan:
Back a while ago i used to have a samsung & i used flash roms, kernels etc like we do & i remember seeing once somewhere that if you convert your filesystem to Ext2 it used to speed the phone up dramatically, so i did on this old Samsung & it speeded up like a boss!

My question is, is it possible to convert our Plays filesystem & if so would it make a difference? Or if someone already has, which ones fastest (benchmark, user experience etc)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
Samsung used RFS in the galaxy s which caused the phone to do an excessive amount of read/write operations, thats why converting it to EXT sped the phone up.

The play(like most other android phones) uses a version of EXT for its filesystem by default, and shouldn't have these issues.

disclaimer: afaik.
