That HOX screen is definatelly too yellow. Out of theose three mobile phones seems that GN has the most neutral greys, hence the most accurate color reproduction.

I'm just wondering why is HOX so far off to the yellow, and some are nicely white. Are they using different screen hardware? It's a really weird problem. Ih could be corrected via software, but I don't know if android OS supports screen color profiles.
[HTC One X] zhamos_kh:
Cameras use the brightest spot on the picture as their white point in auto settings most of the time so you should try to set the white balance on the DSLR first. Then set the brightness value of the 2 brightest phone screens until they match the 3rd one (~ white level): by doing that you can compare the contast (~ black level) and color reproduction with less error.
[HTC One X] myself11:
Thanks for the tip and I'm going to try it, but, unfortunately, I come more and more to realise that I really have a yellow-ish screen.

For instance, One X tested by sweedroid has normal whites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YzFbVvscrEo#!
[HTC One X] zhamos_kh:
As I said, setting white balance is important because it determinates what is the white reference. In your video, the Xperia S screen looks blue-ish. If the white balance was set from the Xperia screen, the One X screen would look yellow-ish.

And your impression depends also on your monitor ability to render color correctly :D.
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
My first HOX looked a little like that, but not that heavily yellowish. My current HOX tho shows a really good white and way more contrast. Tho its still a little warmer than previous devices I owned, its much more enjoyable to look at.

Also: Like on your photos, the colors not only seem yellowish, but also washed out. Same was with my previous device.

There was a faulty batch with faulty screens. You rly should consider taking that device back for a new one, since its a hardware fault.
[HTC One X] emahmood87:
I don't think the pics posted by op shows the correct comparison because I have an iPhone 4s and my one x is brighter and equally white while the one x shown in the op is strangely yellow and have owned galaxy nexus and galaxy s2 to know that screens of amoled can never compare to brightness of LCD
[HTC One X] Meltus:
My hox display isn't yellow in the slightest. Looks much better than my Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
The more I look at my device I cant work out if it has a yellowish tinge or is just pure white. And I have no other device to test it against. Should never have read this thread lol
[HTC One X] skr_xd:
There seems to be two types of screen in HOX.

I got my first two phones yellow tinted like the one in first post. Have returned both and my third device is perfect. No yellow tint. Pure awesome white for whites. I'm very happy now. Current device is black taiwan made HT24 Batch.
[HTC One X] myself11:
Mine is crearly yellow, HT23 batch. Did you returned saying it was to yellow? Did they accept that as a valid reason?
[HTC One X] skr_xd:
The first one of mine had more visible yellow spots on top of screen. Other than that the screen had yellow tint in general. They replaced for yellow spots.

Second device also had yellow tint and i was thinking for a reason. Fortunately it had a very minor scratch 1-2mm inside of the screen. Since i informed them the same day and the scratch was not outside, they replaced again. FYI, its not easy to convince service center for replacement here in Dubai and i had to speak a lot:D
[HTC One X] falconeight:
The damn galaxy note looks really good compared to the one x.
[HTC One X] NewForce:
Thank you very much! :)

Your many pictures making me more affirmative that I still preferred Samsung Galaxy Note Super AMOLED screen. All pentile, color accuracy, color tint that minority people claiming does not bother me too much for continue to support for it far superior contrast, black level, color gradient, un-UV vibrant colors, response time, power saving overall.

To be frank, SLCD2 also suffered some level of color accuracy, yellowish color tint, yellowish white tint, most colors are like with UV coated even at indoor (even indoor?), and not to mentioned it quality, contrast, black level and power saving are worst in comparison with Samsung very own technology Super AMOLED screens.
[HTC One X] NZtechfreak:
In comparison to my Note's screen the whites are on the warm side, but the Note's are very cool and blue tinged. For whites my HOX screen is definitely better than my Note.

save battery g3

hello

i am zsolt

and i would like say that i have alredy probed all roms for galaxy 3

foryo, gb, ics, aokp

my opinion that froyo is a good rom but insufficiently stable, all kernel probed but the best was Kyorarom Ascendency (v0.5.2 - JPU Based) with own kernel

i have 4-5 days battery life average usage!!! important set cpu ondemand 83-800 Mhz if possible,not use live wallpapper and delete stock gallery.apk and google-maps!

aokp rom is very very good, but so still to much defects! with Latest G3mod build by Arakmar 12/04/2012.zip i have set 83-800 Mhz ondemand (not setcpu,in rom control) turn off gps,wifi,data and i was 3% under 21h!!! (i used 4-5calls, and 30 minutes gps whit igo) that is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and now i use [ROM][CM7.2] Kyrillos' ROM v10.2 because in aokp the video isn't smooth. in kyrillos almost good! same sets here like aokp and same kernel!

19h under i have used 4 times call, and 15 minutes gps, and 40 minutes video playing still i have 88% baterry power!!!!! GREAT!!!!!

to my mind the kernel is very very important for how much battery uses our phone!!!!

thanks

[Galaxy 3 General] zsolt64:
save battery

hello

i am zsolt again

best option is turn off wifi, gps, 3g/2g, but when you use that

another, set cpu ondemand on oc version 100-800Mhz, non-oc 222-667Mhz and set screen off 83-333Mhz

the root of the matter...... the kernel......sure!!!!

best kernel(which best powersave,but not very smoothly) till now g3mod 2.5 non-oc kernel(because i not play), but to whomsoever not enough the oc version is too good!!!

thanks!
[Galaxy 3 General] experiment322:
As zsolt64 said, kernel is very important when we talk about the battery. Anyway, good and useful "how to". Thanks!:good:
[LG Thrill 4G] gabe.cole:
So my wife's thrill has been running super slow over the last month or so. She uninstalled a bunch of apps, deleted a bunch of stuff and it was still lagy. So she decided to do a factory reset on it. I had her install astro file manager and check to make sure her pictures were saved under /mnt/sdcard/dcim - which I assumed was the SD card like on my HTC Inspire :(. The photos and videos were there and she proceeded to do a reset - and of course now everything is gone. We didn't realize that /mnt/sdcard wasn't actually the sd card, but the phones internal memory on the Thrill . Is there any way to recover these deleted files? Connect the phone to a computer as mass storage and scan the internal sd drive with a recovery tool? Or are these gone forever?
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
My guess is gone forever

sent from my acidhazard thrill
[LG Thrill 4G] gabe.cole:
For those interested, the files were indeed deleted with the factory reset since they were saved on the phones memory, not the actual sd card. However, I installed Recuva, hooked the phone up to the computer as mass storage and scanned the internal drive. Doing a quick scan it found about 5 of the files. Then I did a deep scan and it found most, if not all of the pictures, videos and music files that she had on the phone. Most of the pictures showed up 5 or 6 times (along with all of the other junk picture files from ads and apps) so we have almost 10,000 files to sort through. But from our skimming through them it looks like we saved at least 75%, and possibly all of the files. :D
[LG Thrill 4G] WattB006:
That is great to know. I just did the same thing a couple weeks ago and lost all of the pictures of my kids. I will try this out and hope it works like it did for you.
[LG Thrill 4G] amber80:
Dont worry, it is possible to recover pictures/videos from internal memory, I have done that before. All you need to do is to follow this LG android phone data recovery guide: How to recover data from LG android phone

How to Restore Lost Photos/ Videos from LG Thrill?

LG Thrill is the most popular between users because of it high-technical function and eye-catching looks.

But it may happen that you face a major issue with the latest LG Thrill phone. You are deleting some unnecessary folders from the phone to have some free space.

You get Panic! And don’t know how to recover the folders you are just feeling helpless. It seems impossible to recover your most lovable files. .........its not actually

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
OK so a year later and frustration with Moto update waits, I'm considering rooting this phone. My main reason for doing so is mainly to freeze or remove Blur and carrier (Bell) bloatware, but I have some questions about which way to go with this:

1. Rooting but not flashing a custom ROM. Instead, freeze the bloat using TiBU. This would be the far simpler method I think. I would then install a custom launcher (I currently prefer Launcher 7) and freeze the Blur home launcher so it doesn't run behind Launcher 7. My concern about this method is that I've read occasional reports by people that some of the "frozen" Blur system apps actually continued to work...

2. Flashing CM7. This is my 2nd choice. I'm a pretty lazy guy, and I don't mind rooting with how easy it is to do these days, but the extra work flashing custom ROMS isn't appealing to me. If I am forced to go this route, (a)What's the best way to freeze or remove the launcher that comes with CM7 and replace with one of my choosing so that two launchers are not running at the same time? (b)Does CM7 come with all the Motoblur and Carrier stuff removed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbwizkid:
I would go with the CM7 route. it is a little more to do but not by much and the payoff will be much greater. once you have it though as far as the launcher goes just install the one you want and use titanium back up to uninstall ADW (the launcher that comes with most CM7 builds). And use CM7 is a non BLUR ROM so blur is fully non existant on it. and all the other bloat ware is gone as well. You can go even further and use the nuetrino ROM witch is reall barebones and you can add on the stuff you need but i would suggest grabbing the CM7 RC1 nightly and running with that. Any question on how to do any of this just read the noob guide over and it is a breeze and you will even seen how easy it is to do after that and find yourself testing out many diffrent roms.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
thanks, I only have 2 questions that will make or break CM7 for me -

has a good stable solution been found for the poor camera quality I've seen reported with CM7?

How well does CM7 play with GPS and the Motorola Cardock? I use those a LOT
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbwizkid:
I hae had no issues with camera quality on my CM7 and as far as the GPS car dock not sure how it will effect it. i can say that GPS over all is also not a issue for me. i dont have the car dock but i do use GPS navigation most of the day every day and have no issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
Have you tried the miui camera app? I notice better quality with that camera app on cm7 than the stock cm7 camera app.

Sent from my ATRIX using the Premium XDA App
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbwizkid:
I have not tried that one I have seen that it is really nice and has many more options than the stock cm7 just never worried to much about it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toinktoink:
i made a file called "99mount" with a the content

mount -o bind /emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

however, it isn't being executed an start tried also

busybox mount -o bind /emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

and no luck, do i need to add 99mount to some xx.rc file?

im using siyah kernel and hydrogenics btw
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Using Siyah kernel, placing the script file in system/etc/init.d should do it.

Are there other files in init.d folder?

Try to remove all other file from init.d folder, re-flash the kernel and reboot the phone.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trail001:
Maybe the script should be executable ?

chmod +x filename ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulysse34:
I was trying exactly the same thing today ;)

I can get it to work like this

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Putting the file in the init.d folder is not enough, you need Script Manager app and set it to run as root + run at boot

You can also run it straight away, but it will not stick on reboot.

I need a solution without using any extra app....

EDIT:

I also tried this (hoping that it would work without Script Manager)

#!/system/xbin/sh
mount -o bind /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

but it does not do the trick :(

I noticed that there a sh file in the bin folder, but not in the xbin folder...could this be the reason? It shouldn't as lines beginning with # aren't normally parsed...:confused:

Is there an incompatibility with Busybox or what exactly is wrong here?

P.S. I'm using Slim ICS (with Siya most of the time)

[Xperia Arc General] szlevi:
Since Track ID is freely available on the Market now for *any* phone does it make any difference if one unlocks the bootloader...?
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Yeh, of course. Just wondering if this method will work..

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc General] JJD809:
Hope this helps...

If you unlock your bootloader for free on the Sony website you lose all your DRM licences and thus cannot use the stock TrackID version. You also will not be able to update via SEUS. Therefore, dont follow this path.

On the other hand, if you unlock your bootloader using the testpoint procedure, you keep your DRM keys, you can still update via SEUS. As an added bonus, it also removes the SIMlock from your phone so you can then use any SIM from any service provider from any country in the world.

The catch here is that you have to pay for it but at 15GBP it is not a lot of money. I have done it and also many other users on this forums. JINX13 does it remotely for you. Drop him a PM. Also, have a look at his webpage.

Interesting idea. I'd already flashed ICS the other day but am back on GB for the time being so thought I'd give it a shot.

Short answer is no, it doesn't work. Changed all my model numbers in build.prop to LT18i and customisation numbers to one on the list. Problem being, PC Companion still sees the phone as an LT15.

Good challenge though - any ideas anyone?

PS - I don't want suggestions on other ways of getting ICS, I can already do that! More interested in knowing where PC Companion takes the model number from.

Read here

I don't think Beats by Dre is the reason why CFO Winston Yung was fired, but what was? It's understandable why people would think that's the reason, because HTC invested a lot of money into it and put it in a lot of phones (including future phones). At least HTC was smart enough to hire Chia-Lin Chang, who was a former partner of Goldman Sachs (bank/security firm).
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
HTC were not performing well enough. Beats? lol. No.

Samsung is now seen as as the top dog for Android phones (at least in Europe), and HTC rested on their laurels rather than progressing.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
One reason that Samsung is the top Android producer is due the size of the company. Samsung is a HUGE company, not the case with HTC. Volume matters.
[HTC EVO 3D] Royalfox:
If I'm correct, HTC only makes phones. Samsung makes phones, TVs, refrigerators, PCs, etc...

This Samsung has more contracts with people so more resources however he got fired either because of their poor earnings or he did something bad maybe he was the leak for phones lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] NixZero:
generally the specialization of goldman sachs envoys is to remove everything good from a sinking firm and make it "disappear" in the big investor pockets and let what remains go down with the little guys which didnt jump ship...
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
The size of the company didnt have anything to do with it since there was a time when HTC was the company selling the most Android phones. Samsung just has more desirable phones at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Believe what you want. I think that it has SOMETHING to do with it. A company can't build or market phones outside of their means. Bigger company--> more money and resources--> more advertising--> more potential to reach a broader market--> more sales--> more popular device.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I hope they don't stop at the CFO. Clearly they felt someone needed the axe. He was likely just a fall guy... although I am betting there was a lot of money wasted in the beats. Next termination should be the head quality director.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
That & they simplified the lineup. The only real variations come to head when dealing with the U.S. Japan & Korea (home) even those are minor.

HTC has just now simplified the lineup. A new HTC phone, every two weeks, maintenance, managment, development, wasn't healthy at all.

I wonder if they can keep it simple though.

Hey Guys

In case you didn't know, you can still have Swype for our device even if your custom ROM does not support it. I myself prefer Swype because I find it easier to use on our smaller screens. Also there is a MUCH easier way of installing it then hacking the system files to get it to work.

You need to go here http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/ to get it.

Here is the website http://www.swype.com/ Check it out :)

There is a very simple registration process but once you have it is AWESOME if you are a Swype fan :) In fact, I will go so far to say that this is even better then the standard Swype that come with the stock ROM!!! If ever I go back to stock I will be using this for sure, plus you are always up to date with the latest Swype developments if you use this. I am using this on Repencis V3 and it is really cool.

Hope this is helpful to anyone
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silvane:
I use Swype Beta too. My only gripe is the layout. I think the old one's layout was better, especially with the numbers. Btw you don't need to register if you have the apk. Just install and go. Also you can try themes. Just google "da swypes", you'll find it. :) I use the stock ICS theme because it's darker than default. And no orange.

Hey Silvane

I agree about the layout as well, I found the old numbers easier to reach but there is a more polished feel about this one which the old version did not have. I kinda like the default look but I didn't know about the themes. Thanks for the heads up with that :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silvane:
Yw. :)

Btw you don't need to register to get updates. The keyboard itself does not check for an account before it updates itself. The "installer" is just their way of not directly giving you the apk to the keyboard. For some reason they don't like that lol.
