[HTC One X] jimmyb5374:
I am noticing far worse signal on my handset than previous handsets , an awful lot of the time my handset switches between t-mobile and orange , whereas previous handsets were solid t-mobile all day , and also the data speeds are worse. I am not very impressed as the 1.28 update appears to have made this worse, and its an unlocked generic variant in the uk if thats of any help

cheers

[HTC One X] descb600f:
My signal is loads better.

Before the update I couldn't sit on the sofa and make a call I would get 3bars then nothing.

Now I'm a fairly constant 4 bars sat on the sofa.

I'm on Tesco (so O2) I was going to take the handset back before the update.

Battery seems twice as good on a completely different note.
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
I have had a similar experience as descb600f. Prior to 1.28 my signal would drop regularly. After 1.28 I am finding it is far better, regularly seeing 3 bars, where before it would continually switch between 0 and 2 bars.

WiFi reception is great, puts my Desire to shame!
[HTC One X] Vhunter:
So which is it, does 1.28 make signal alot better or not? And what about actual call quality, its one thing getting 3 bars but another if calls are choppy:(
[HTC One X] Leighm0:
I do have to agree with the signal/Wifi issues on this device.. I came from a Nexus S (GSM model) and I used to get good HSPA/UMTS signals on that device, I also have a Wifi network setup in my house, it covers most of the house and some of the backyard.. However when out in the backyard the One X seems to drop the connection to the Wifi network, however my old Nexus S still has atleast 2-3 bars of Wifi connectivity and constantly keeps the signal/connection.

Has anyone else had issues like this with Home Wifi networks not getting as great a signal as other devices?

If I hold the One X in one hand and the Nexus S in the other and move away from the Wifi Access Point, the One X drops signal strength a lot quicker and the Nexus S keeps connection/signal a lot further away..

Bit dissapointed with that, and hope it's some how able to be fixed with software/firmware upgrades in the future?

Also I noticed the One X seems to switch between H/3G (HSPA/UMTS etc) quite a lot more than the Nexus S does, same network, holding both in same spot..

Apart from these minor issues and the screen flickering issue I'm more than happy with the One X.. :)
[HTC One X] stan23:
WiFi and 2G/3G are two different chipsets and different antennas.

I have also notices dropsin the last 3 days, including hours with no reception at all :(

Need to switch from 1.26 to 1.28 soon to try it...
[HTC One X] descb600f:
I should say I live in an area with only 2G reception and we sit in a dip partially hidden from the transmitters.

We can only get O2/Voda (orange/TMob if I just want to live upstairs in a corner of the house) and since the update I now have no issues with reception just like I used to.

1.28 has resolved my issues.

On the wifi front

I live in an old stone cottage with timber frame extension (wifi b/g can't make it thru our internal walls in the old part of the house), I have the N wifi router upstairs in the extension and have no issues with losing WiFi either (didn't have issues before 1.28).

Hope this helps people, I realise some may say it has got worse but for me the difference is night and day making the phone completely fine.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
I just found an old 3 SIM (from a dongle) and popped it into my desire s and placed both by the window running Network Signal App for 30 minutes.

Both were attached to the same tower and the HOX was getting between -89 and -91 dbm, the Desire a consistent -75dbm.

Just hope that Three shake their touche's and get the update approved ASAP…. im quite a technical guy, but the idea of rooting and doing the update myself gives me the shakes…..

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] eletro:
I find the following app very good to quickly connect to multiple headsets/speakers

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sflab.bluetooth

ie. @ home i have a D200 creative speaker

instead of going into bluetooth settings.. just click the widget and its connected!:D

Cons: sometimes the widget does not respond.. but give it some time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] klau1:
Updated Version of above:

One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:

Bluetooth Pair

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair

found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.

Example Use Case:

I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)

I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.

Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.

Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.

Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.

Takes a long time.

With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.

So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.

1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone

2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet

Two taps!

The latest Galaxy Note keyboard includes an extra row of numbers at the top which means you can type numbers without needing to change between alphabetic and numeric layouts. Has anyone got the Galaxy Note keyboard working on the 7.7 or know of a keyboard in Google Play which is similar? The ICS keyboard seems to not have the extra row of numbers which is a shame.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Yamba:
In the play store there is a free keyboard app called hacker's keyboard that have a number row that might fit your needs

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks for that information about the Hacker's keyboard which I have tried and it works fine on the 7.7. I have hit the thank you button to show my gratitude.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Celso Sanada Jr.:
Thanks mate. The application eased up my effort to edit data on my documents and records.:)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] silkshocker:
beware

It said, 'collecting user's info such as credit cards, password, and etc...' from installing the app. No thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] regius:
This is a disclaimer you get when installing any 3rd party keyboard, you shouldn't be so worried about
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] miiike:
Really? I don't ever use aftermarket keyboards so I can't say that i've been bothered to read their disclaimers, but doesn't that make you worried? I mean, just because its a keyboard doesn't mean it needs to say it tracks your credit card, if its not recording/sending those keystrokes, right? Or even if it's not doing it now, don't you worry that the permission is there to in the future? If these are standard permissions that need to be set for any keyboard then Google needs (and devs and consumers need to be asking for more) to develop API's to separate all of this.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] regius:
Well, you use any app on your own risk. I am more worried about the apps that don't say it but still collect various data, check out the latest scandals with apple and CIQ... Basically, any app you use on a smartphone or tablet could subject you to all kinds of data collecting, I don't think there is a way to escape this as long as your phone/tablet has any form of data connection.

Remember, all sorts of Big Brothers are watching you! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LBN1:
Swiftkey Tablet X is a good alternative that I am using.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Anyone using the Hackers Keyboard, how can i get the suggestions to show up in landscape mode. It works on portrait mode but not in landscape even though it is selected.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
No suggestions with my little issue?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cooljo555:
I use thumb keyboard for this, there's an option near the settings to hide/unhide an extra row at the top of the keyboard but they are customizable hotkeys, I just set them to be 0-9. Also there is the button for stored quicktexts which comes in very handy when filling forms or entering email addresses etc..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
Landscape suggestions is a checkbox selection on the main hackers settings page.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
It is checked buf i still do not get the suggestions
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] awalmusslim:
You can also try TypeSmart 2.0 keyboard which is similar to Galaxy Note keyboard plus you can simply select your text,copy,paste etc. Tried it on my gs2g and work like charm:cowboy:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rjohmit:
The warning doesn't day that it DOES collect info... It just says that 3rd party keyboards CAN collect basically anything you type, which should be pretty obvious.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
THIS. The best keyboard I've used on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 after trying 10+ other ones.

Swift X is VERY customizable, looks great and is fast & smooth, a joy to use.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nicola.m:
Plus, Hacker's Keyboard is an open source project, so it would be a bit difficult to inject code that would collect information without anybody knowing.

With that said, SwiftKey X is my preferred keyboard on all Android devices that I have, with Hacker's Keyboard right after it for command line stuff (I'm a geek and I love the command line :))
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] thebobp:
It's kinda impossible to create a keyboard that has no potential of collecting your keystrokes - that's what a keyboard does.

You can check the app permissions to see if a permission, like internet access, makes you uncomfortable. Some keyboards are designed with internet access in mind, though (swiftkey).

Hi,

Both me and my girlfriend have the sk17i. We have noticed that on most of the photos we take the photos are quite green looking. are there any settings to get rid of this or camera drivers we can update?

Help appreciated,

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] batjon:
camera 360 appears to work well. Anyone know why the stock camera adds a green tint to everything? its a bit disappointing as I like all the options on stock..

thanks melander!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] melander:
are you using stock rom and kernel?.

what fw version do you have?.

if stock, try going to applications then clear data on camera app, test.

try also doing factory reset in privacy setting.

an update may be available, try to do so...

if using custom rom, then try reinstalling it,

clear data, partition, dalvik, reflash rom...

Hi,

I use internet pass through (Using laptops internet thru USB tethering) a lot to download huge size game files or update my apps. However I have noticed one problem with this feature. The internet pass thru works correctly for few minutes and then it stops downloading anything and the download speed also changes to 0bytes.

I then change the connection to charging wait for sometime and then again changing to internet pass thru which makes it work again. This behavior is constant from the day I purchased my phone on launch date.

My laptops firewall is off and the connection appears in my network sharing as unidentified .

Is this a bug or some problem which can be resolved by any changes. I already searched on similar topics and no thread answers to my satisfaction.

Please help me.

Did that and never crashed but I'm still uncomfortable with the stupid phone! :mad:
