[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blairh:
First off I want to thank Peter for all his great continued work in this thread. I really appreciate it and I know many others do too.

I would really appreciate some clarification regarding storage and apps on the One X(L). I know there are two different places which house memory on the One X (internal and phone) and I know that you can manually move appplications from internal to phone. However my confusion is with respect to apps. Do all apps get downloaded by default to the internal storage? And if one runs out of internal storage room, do apps automatically get downloaded onto the phone storage or must one make room on the internal storage space?

I would greatly appreciate some clarification.

I'm also going to keep a close eye on this thread and others on XDA with respect to battery life on the One XL. I'm currently using an iPhone 4 on AT&T and I wouldn't jump over to the One XL if it meant dealing with significantly worse battery performance compared to my current iPhone.

I've also seen some videos on YouTube where there is talk that it takes quite a while for the battery to charge on the One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kirksl:
Yes. Thank you Peter. I really appreciate all the work you're putting in on this phone. Especially all the money you spent on these two phones.

Peter can you confirm, you only changed ROMs on the One XL right? The One X is fully stock with no mods? I'm really leary about going down the rooted path again as my DroidX had endless issues after all of the rooting fun.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jpinks:
Been watching the X and XL forums pretty heavily. Have you seen any evidence of the Flickering Screen on either of your phones??? Seems to be a growing issue on the One X fourm.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
i really want to know whyyy in the world we are getting 16gb who made that decision. i can be okay with the s4 chip but in all honesty thats just so random to downgrade us so much. we will only even use 9gig of usable storage right ? damn is there any report or article as to why
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jpinks:
Everyone seems to think that it was a cost issue. Hell I would pay more for a 32Gb XL. Others seem to think its the carriers (AT&T) trying to make us use to much data and get the fee money for going over. I can see AT&T thinking like that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
I wouldn't really consider the S4 a "downgrade" (or at least as part of the overall "downgrade"), at the worst it is a parallel path with its own perk (LTE)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
honestly i think the s4 is upgrade..

integrated lte why not lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
In a blind taste test you couldn't tell the difference. Except when downloading files and data via LTE. And that of course will be followed by either a throttling text or $10 per GB overage charge on your next month's bill depending on your plan. And you wonder why AT&T's locked LTE on? But to quote AT&T, "that's so twenty nine seconds ago." ;) Love speed, hate paying for it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
5 Gigs before you are throttled... 3 Gigs with the standard tiered plan now...

What the hell are you doing on it? I stream spotify, sirius-xm, pandora, and youtube a lot and I usually never get above 2 Gigs, let alone 5.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
I was just kidding around. But with the iPad3 out a lot of content's starting to be pushed out in HD programmatically based on the resolution the display is reporting. Users are hitting their threshold a week in to their billing month. So hitting 3-5GB using HD content isn't that hard anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blairh:
Someone in another forum I frequent said they streamed Spotify for 30 minutes over 4G on their Nexus and it used 550 MB. Does that sound right to you?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gbrewman:
That is ridiculous as streaming music does not eat up that much data. Its when you start streaming video that the data will go way over.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jpinks:
Damn what kind of bit rate is that???
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
312kb/s. Super duper HD quality.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Flyarnk:
Rogers HTC One X is able to identify "Name Caller ID" even when you don't have the contact in your phone. But HTC One X Quad doesn't!

PS "Name Caller ID" is service provided by Rogers/Fido exclusively.

Anyone know how to make it work in Quad core version?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] keetsy:
Is it possible to have a 100% silenced mode in WP7, i mean like in android you have

Silence, Vibra, sound --->

But in WP7, only

Vibra, sound --->

I know there are some settings for enable/disable vibring, but it doesn't solve the problem...

Any help? ( I'm sorry if this is a trash post )

EDIT: Also, is it normal to WP7 to vibrate only once when someone is calling you? That's kinda annoying..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bse88:
Hello people,

I have been playing with some crazy idea for a while. I know that exist a lot of anti-theft apps where you can send a message to your stolen and it performs a certain task like taking a picture or start an alarm or something like that.

So I have started to think about the possibility of a more radical idea like being able to send a sms to your stolen phone that would cause some kind of irreversible damage. Something that could fry your phone internal components like a killer overclocking.

I dunno, I just thought that it would be a cool sweet revenge.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe333x:
99% of the time if some steals your phone the first thing they do is throw away your sim card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bse88:
And what about sending a message through your Google Account? I think I once tried an apk that was able to send message using your gmail account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Full wipe, and all is Ok :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerocaptain:
Better idea would be to throw a false reset option in the settings that reformats the phone to make the phone appear to have been reset but GPS, and various owner enabled services would still be on and accessible via computer manipulation.....or predefined actions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_main_app:
There are already several apps available that do exactly what you suggest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TamCore:
It should be easy to hard brick the phone. A little "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/... bs=512 count=1" to all partitions on the phone should do the trick :)

An App with a hardcoded config in /system/app would survive a Factory Reset :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buckylastard:
I much rather would like to catch the thief who stole my phone instead of frying the phone.

My phone got stolen last month and even though I had some kind of find phone feature, I couldn't look it up. They should made something based on the IMEI# of the phone to track it instead of the sim card and account, which could easily be replaced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone3974:
Full wipe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KemikalElite:
I've had an idea for improving anti theft.

The one flaw in hardcore solutions like avast mobile and Cerberus is that they are rendered useless when a new ROM is flashed or the system partition is wiped. I know avast is supposed to have an option to be added to the backup list on CyanogenMod based ROMs, but for some reason it never works for me. Maybe because it could have been designed for CM7 and not CM9.

Anyway, the solution to the issue would be adding the anti theft program to another protected partition other than the android system. OEMs use additional partitions for the HBOOT or ODIN. An encrypted partition would make it secure. I know Ubuntu has some sort LVM encryption.

Or, restricting access to the custom recovery menu by locking it with a pass code. The issue with that might be where to store that pass code. Of course you could just reflash a stock recovery to prevent writing to the system partition, but who wants to do that?

So there's a basic description of the flaw now it just needs to be fixed somehow. I'm not good with actual coding so I'd leave that to the developers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daasguy:
I would rather blow up my phone along with the hand of the thief.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jader13254:
U add an app to system/app and this app popup every 12h and want a code like "xdgfr" and u have 10 seconds after first touch of code, if u dont write in ur phone vibrates 20 seconds and than u must insert again code if not ---> hard brick :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Install a ssh server such as dropbear, starting from init.rc

Install an IPv6 6in4 tunnel.

Now you got access to your phone via ssh and a unique IPv6 address, reachable wherever the phone is, behind NATs, firewalls, on cellular nets etc.

If it gets stolen, just access it and decide the best action ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isaygarcia:
Just :

A new encrypted partition that can only be deleted by the user entering a password, this partition will store a pre-configured program that will detect the state of the rom, stolen-alarm, will store credentials (for accessing the main security account, data and networks) and will take actions depending on that configuration or direct access from the user(Via ssh or a custom UI).

What about that?

It doesn't need to be a large partition, just large enough to save that data.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BuzzyMind:
Hello guys! :D So here are modified on/off ICS widgets with Xperia S style which work on every launcher!

note: It won't work in landscape mode... BTW home launcher in landscape mode is awful, isn't it? :D

If you like this don't be an asshole and USE THE THANKS BUTTON!

For those who are wondering what launcher I'm using, I use Apex Launcher, based on the default ICS launcher. Give it a try because it is fast, smooth, free and customizable unlike stock Xperia which is slow after killing, beside the fact it has GPU acceleration it is not smooth. :)

To install (you need to have root):

Push the .apk files into system/app folder with rw-r-r permissions.

Or flash the zip file using CWM.

Hi, I´ve got a Droid Razr on stock .173, I had already flashed roms to other phone a DX & DX2 but since I bought this one I just cant:confused:, each time I flash antything it sais installed it boots up and there it is Gingerbread again and again, hope someone can help me!!!

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] paul_viado:
are you running bootstrap or safestrap?

and what steps are you taking to flash the rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ilanderech:
I´m on safestrap, I made a backup of my rom and tried to sideload ICS just as Vicious´s post sais, everything goes ok until the android starts to flash the rom, the bar gets 1/5 and then it fails, also tried with the gummy rom and safestrap sais its installed, then I disable safe toggle and reboot and I´m still on stock rom any idea?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Splogy:
Try uninstalling safestrap and then installing bootstrap if you can - then try to flash the rom again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ilanderech:
How do I uninstall it? as u normally unistal any app or is there another way?

Yep - just go back into stock and delete the apk like you would any other application. Get bootstrap from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347767

[Venue Pro General] techrack:
Hey everyone,

I have a dell venue pro and I live in the UK and am on the O2 network. I am on the £10 tarriff with a £3 bolt on which gives me 100 Mb of internet to use per month, I thought this would be enough for casual Facebook updates and using Bing maps, however when the bolt on was activated I turned my WiFi on because I was at home and watched a 40 minute video off the internet, when I checked my allowance it said I had used 70mb! First of all my WiFi was on so my cellular connection shouldn't have been used anyway so I phone o2 who said sorry we only charge for what you use. So I disabled my WiFi enabled 3g and went on google and Facebook and it cost me 9mb! When I turned off 3g the usage was sensible again, so is there something going on in the background that I should turn off? My email is synced at every half an hour but that's the only background thing going on that I am aware of, all my friends use 3g and there internet usage is nowhere as near as wild as mine is, can anyone please help me?

Cheers,

Syed
[Venue Pro General] Ascario:
I had a similar experience a while back. Since my mobile provider offers automatic text messages when I'm about to reach my 3G limit along with full history log of usage, I had a look and noticed my DVP stayed connected for over an hour somehow even though I was not using the phone at that time. E-mail checks were setup like yours. The weird thing is that it didn't happen in the beginning when I used 3G and left it on without using it.

By any chance did you update to the 8107 version of Mango? Because it only happened to me after that, perhaps it's related? I forced the update on my phone...
[Venue Pro General] techrack:
Thanks for the reply. My phone came pre-loaded with Mango so I've never experienced pre-Mango. The OS version on my phone is 7.10.7720.68. After you forced the update 8107, is the internet usage back down to normal with 3g? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Cool... welcome...

I am not a CM7 user as I use CM9, but I wanted to give you clear directions on the Download and Recovery mode key combos.

Download Mode = Power + Vol Down (-) - Hold this key combo from a full power down state. Hold them until you see the Yellow Triangle logo. It should be about 5-8 seconds

Recovery Mode = Power + Vol Up (+) - Same as Download Mode... Hold them until you see the CWM menu.

I usually hold them until I see these menus... I think holding them for about 5 secs or so and letting go of the power button still gets you in those modes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xterminus:
followup

Thanks, I think the trick is ONLY hold the power button down long enough to get it to boot. Pressing it beyond that point doesn't do anything good. Thanks ;)

Some followup notes on CM7 I didn't cover in my first post:

* By swapping out wpa_supplicant (in /system/bin) for a newer version seems to help with wifi stability quite a bit. There is a link to a rar in the CM7 thread with a few alternative binaries. In any case, I don't have to fool with airplane mode anymore. Wifi just seems to "work" now.

* I've noticed that CM7 seems to suck a lot more juice when "sleeping", or idling with the screen off. I've noticed some mentions of a failure in the kernel to go into deep-sleep, which I suppose makes sense.

* Touching anything bluetooth related (turning it on, scanning, etc) often but not always results in an crash and instant reboot. I don't use bluetooth much, but I can see it's a problem. Disabling all bluetooth settings has helped stability quite a bit.

* The "black screen" I noticed in launcherpro went away when I disabled scrolling widgets.

* I've tried manually installing the FM Radio app (copying apk directly in with appropriate metadata files.) Still not working although it shows up. I suppose in order to get it working I'll have to restore all the samsung apps too. I'll get it working eventually I'm sure. I tried a third party Fm Radio app (Spirit Radio Free), and it didn't work at all either. At least it installed.

* In the calling preferences, where you can select googlevoice as your voicemail provider results in a crash of the google voice app. I also can't get the phone to properly register with a SIP provider with the stock CM7 settings either. I disabled that configuration and restored the Groove-IP app until I can figure out what's going on. I have a proper gv/sip gateway I can use (besides grooveip) - but the phone doesn't seem to want to work with it.

* For this particular ROM, it'd probably simplify everyone's lives if it were possible to remove any reference to most of the phone settings. For example, the Player doesn't have to deal with "Mobile Networks" (under settings/wireless & network settings). Removing the option to enable mobile data makes sense too I suppose. I'm not sure *how* to do it, but I thought I'd mention it.

That's it for now.
[HTC One X] darknesis:
I took the SIM card from my Sprint global phone and put it inside an unlocked GSM HTC One X for use in Mexico. As Sprint has roaming agreements with Telcel (GSM), and the phone is unlocked, this should work. I'm able to make and receive calls on the phone, but I can't get data to work!

The error I get is:

"Connection failed due to incorrect APN setting"

I checked the APN in mobile settings, and this is what I have set:

Name: Sprint World

APN: cinet.spcs

MCC: 316

MNC: 010

Everything else is blank or set to defaults.

Anyone have any suggestions? For some reason, whenever I try to change the MCC or MNC and click "save" the APN disappears and I have to restore defaults for it to re-appear.

Thanks in advance for your help. Really want to get data to work on this phone!
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I can't advise on specific settings, but you might benefit from just calling sprint? Make sure the settings don't actually change to something different when roaming? Or maybe they only have an agreement for voice calls etc but not data..
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Since Sprint isn't a GSM carrier you're probably one of the less than 10% of their customers with a GSM SIM. It's a long shot than anyone here would have experience using data internationally on a Sprint SIM.
[HTC Sensation] slvrhwk:
I tried searching before posting this. I didn't see any post which matches my problem, so I'm creating this new thread. I have an HTC Sensation 4G. I am using the Anrdroid Revolution Sensation XE (ICS + Sense 3.6) ROM by Mike. My phone has really slowed down. If I reboot, it works fine for some time (a few hours), but after that, it really takes ages to respond. Sometimes it just goes into a loop (of getting stuck). Like, I get the screen which says loading, then it shows the home screen after about half a minute or so, and immediately shows the white HTC screen and then the cycle repeats. I think it's running out of RAM. Is there an app which shows the RAM usage so that I can take a screenshot and post it here, so that you guys can see and advice me what can be done? Also, the battery life has really gone down in the last 2 days. Previously, I used to get at least 20-22 hours (at least) on a full charge. But for the past couple of days, I've been getting only 8-10 hours. It may be because of some app/widget that I installed that is running in the background and taking up a lot of the CPU. I really need to sort out these issues. Kindly help. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you don't require an app to see the ram usage :)

just go to settings->apps->running

that will show you all the apps that are running also...how much ram is used and how much ram is free (at the bottom of the screen once you open all the running apps)...this will even show you which app is using how much ram :D
[HTC Sensation] slvrhwk:
Okay, I can check my RAM usage from there. But I still need a solution. And something's seriously wrong with my battery. A full charge and 2 hours 45 mins later, it's down to 60%. How do I figure out the problem?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Try the better battery stats app on xda and look at partial wake locks. Give it a few hours to collect data. That will tell you what keeps waking your phone. I had a battery that was only lasting a few hours. Better Battery stats told me the media process was running constant. I formatted my SD card and now back to 17-18 hours. I had a bad media file on the card.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
You may want to provide more information on what options you chose when installing ARHD...

Also, it sounds as though you may have an app forcing a wakelock. Run a search for how to investigate that...
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
I guess you're right and it can cause because an app taking a lot of RAM..

I had a similar problem but a factory reset fixed it :D..maybe it's worth a try? ;)
[HTC Sensation] slvrhwk:
I think I may have just figured it out. I uninstalled Perfect App Protector - FREE (had installed it 3-4 days ago). 3 hours and the battery's still 95% (that's because I hardly used my phone since the last full charge). For now, I'm guessing that the problem's solved.

But I really need an app lock software. Any recommendations?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Rather than app lock...you can do app freeze..its pretty efficient...and you can do it via titanium backup....remember once you freeze the app it won't be visible in apps and can only be unfreezed by titanium backup only

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] slvrhwk:
No, I don't want to freeze apps, I want to lock certain apps, to prevent other people from accessing it. I installed Perfect App Protector - FREE for that purpose and it did a really good job. I'd have stuck to it, if only for the battery drain. I need alternatives to this one. It's been 6 hours since a full charge and my battery is at 78%. It seems to be working fine now.
[HTC One X] LadFromWales85:
Tesco have the HTC One X on Tesco Mobile PAYG for £429! Like most of Tesco's higher end PAYG phones, it should be unlocked.

The seals are broken and resealed, to install the SIM and place Tesco booklet and PAYG swipe card in box.

I connected the phone to WiFi and didn't get a software update prompt, so it's likely Tesco have changed the CID! :( I'm sorely tempted to return mine and repurchase, though if the CID differs then that'll make keeping up with OTA's a hassle until s-off is achieved :)

Contract deals, cheapest are:

T-Mobile, 300 mins, 500 texts and 750MB data, with a flexible addon so you can add unlimited texts. £26/24m, free phone.

o2, 300 mins, unlimited texts, 500MB data, £27/24m, free phone.

Branded handsets are SIM Free so will have WWE CID.

Hope this helps.
