[Windows 8 General] nips_uk:
So I did buy the Samsung XE700T1A. It arrived last week with Windows 7 which I quickly got rid of for Windows 8 CP x64 Version. Here is my thoughts:

1) Installing on USB via the Windows 7 USB-DVD tool was simple and quick. Windows 8 asked for my hotmail account and by the time the metro UI loaded, everything had been sync, like my WP7 phone

2) Windows 8 took me a day to get used to. I had to keep googling things, but a week later, I feel like an ol' pro. Its so easy and simple to use. I actually prefer it to Windows 7, but as none of my other machines have touch capability, I wont be swapping them over just yet!

3) All programs/games I used on Win7 went on to Win8 with no problems and run fine with two exceptions so far: Firefox isnt very touch friendly. When I try to copy a link from the address bar, I hold my finger down for right click, then press copy and instead of the address being copied, the right click menu disappears without saving the address. There are to work-arounds though; Use IE or the pen that comes with the slate! The other program was actually a game. Left For Dead 2 gives me a fatal error after the intro movie during the loading screen, but I have had that on friends Win7 laptops, so I dont think that is Win8 related.

4)Wifi power seems way more powerful. I live in an apartment complex and my old netbook would see 5 or 6 other wifi signals, my slate sees around 20-25 including signals that are across the road!

5) I fully charged the battery, then let is completely drain a few times and now im getting 9-10 hours (while playing civ5 over wifi) before I need to recharge it. Totally blow away by this.

6) The heat from the machine when playing games seems to be no more than my mates laptops. I recommend using the dock when playing games so the heat can rise vertically out of the top though.

7) Ive checked and its fully upgradeble. The shop offered to put 8GB RAM into it for me instead of the standard 4GB. They also said when the warrenty runs out, they will be happy to put a bigger SSD into it too, and as the CPU seems to be a quad-core (Aida 64, CPU-z and even win8 task manager show 4 seperate cores) this should last me for a good few years!

Here are some pics of it in action:

http://www.quiba.co.uk/pc/images/xe7006.jpg

All in all, definatly worth buying and even with this Beta version of Windows 8, things can only get better. At this point I feel win8 is safe enough to use on a day-to-day basis at work and from next week, I will stop taking my netbook. I really feel that using Windows 8 without a touch screen is wasting alot of the advantages and power that win8 has. Maybe thats why alot of people still havent been taken by it yet?

I didnt mean this post to turn into a mini review and I am biased towards it, so sorry for that!
[Windows 8 General] derpotato:
Hey, the Samsung XE700T1A, how long did it last?

is there any difference in battery life from W7 to W8?
[Windows 8 General] nips_uk:
Read point 5... playing high graphic games, i get about 6-9 hours. Wifi/internet browsing, im getting around 15-18hours
[Windows 8 General] Zukunft:
my friend i think a few things you told here are a Little bit crazy ;)

i have the Samsung slate for 4 month now (since 29.february running Window 8)

the Maximum of battery life are around 5-6 h. when you play games you will have only 2-3 h left.

so i don´t know if you have a BRANDNEW Slate with a new Kind of fuel cell inside :D but it´s totally impossible to get 9-10h

"5) I fully charged the battery, then let is completely drain a few times and now im getting 9-10 hours (while playing civ5 over wifi) before I need to recharge it. Totally blow away by this.

"

it only have a 5.520 mAh battery.

every new ultrabook with ivy Bridge (20% less battery drain) has only enough battery power for 7-9 hours! (and they have more than 6000 mAh)

and the cpu is not a quard core. it´s a normal Intel i5 (2nd generation i5-2467M) you got 2 cores (4 is the number of Threads)
[Windows 8 General] nips_uk:
Thanks for the clearing up over the core thing, I was confused by the four "cores" shown in AIDA 64, CPU-z and task manager, however that makes sense now.

As for the battery, I cant explain it to you. Saturday I was at the In-laws house and as they dont speak English, normally I am left to my own devises. I played Civ 5 for more than 6 hours, then after we went home, I was watching the England cricket on it via wifi, then finally played Plants vs Zombies on it and had to turn it off around 2am as it was warning me that the battery was at 10%.

I have learn from running my computer business here in China that, if you correctly "setup" a new battery they last a lot longer. I did what Samsung suggest in their manuals and charged it to full, then played until it turned its self off. After repeating 3 times, It will last a really long time. Let me fully charge it and Ill up load a screen shot later.

Thanks for the help with the cores though!
[HTC One X] M3PH:
I noticed today that just above the bottom end of the volume rocker, between that and where the screen sits, there was a slight, sharp bump in the polycarbonate. I have managed to smooth it out some what by gently shaving it down with a sharp blade.

So i was wondering, Has anyone else noticed any defects in the casing. Things like sharp ridges, bumps or burr's?
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
I've not noticed anything on my phone but somebody else on this forum did have one where there was a very thin crack or molding line on one of the corners. They had it replaced IIRC.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
My first one had a couple of "air bubbles" in the casing. They were very small. There was also a dark dot on the white surface on the back. I didn't swap the unit out for this..it had other problems.

The one I have now seems to be free of defects. But I did read other reports with similar things.

Perfection....not!
[HTC One X] M3PH:
OK, so I'm not the only one. I guess i do have the plus side of i didn't get a white one so if there is any marks on the casing they won't show up as easily.
[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
I have a sharp bump/ imperfection on right below the microUSB slot. Good thing its virtually invisible unless you look for it.
[HTC One X] M3PH:
I only noticed the one i had because my finger brsuhed over it. I would guess it's a burr from the molding process but then it would be in the same place on every device. Although if there are different molds for the grey/black and white ones then it may just be what i suspect.

As i said in an earlier post, you can get rid of it by using a sharp blade and running of it the bump gently a couple of times to shave it down
[HTC One X] mzaza:
Could you post some pictures?
[HTC One X] M3PH:
I would but it doesn't show up so there isn't much point.
[HTC One X] mzaza:
Wont it show up in proper lightning angle?

I have on the back a small line which you can see only when holding the phone in proper lightning angle. It's hard to see, I had the phone for 15 days but I just noticed it today.
[HTC One X] mzaza:
It's on the opposite side to the dock pins.
[HTC One X] M3PH:
Nope. I was taking some shots of it today for a review i've done for installornot.com (link in my sig) and it just didn't show up.

But i can describe it as left over from plastic from an injection moulding process. You know how when plastic is injection moulded it leaves a sort of spike where the plastic was injected into the mould. It was exactly like that.
[HTC One X] mzaza:
Ah! I've got that too plus the one in the opposite side of the dock I was explaining in the previous post.

Has any one found the same problem, the line on the back?

EDIT: I think it's the borders of the battery because I can see similar lines in proper lightning around the dock pins.
[HTC One X] Slaytanic:
I've found two small defects on the polycarbonate body: one near the 3.5mm jack plug, like a small imperfection such as if the body was hit by something thin like a blade, and another one almost invisible on the left side.. Oh, there is also a very little gray dot on the bottom, but this is really invisible to the most people :-)
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
The moulding of these cases is really not all that precise but also partly due to the fact that the casing is heated to "glue" bits of plastic and components to the inside back of the case.

I have seen on the white version if you hold it under a spot light and look along its length so you can clearly see the matte mottled effect on the back...then slowly tip the phone back and forth and you will see two horizontal lines running left to right. One a bit above the HTC logo, and one near the speaker grill. It roughly conforms to where the battery is. I also notice that for the line above the HTC logo, towards the right, the moulding dips in ever so slightly. ONce again looking at the inside back, there is some kind of component fixed there. So the cases are just not that precise I'm afraid. Check some of the teardown pictures so you can see the inside of the back casing and you will understand what I mean. It is not just a shell, but an intricate moulding of internal bits as well.

When I first noticed this I was worried if the polycarbonate case was melting due to the heat in the phone. But I googled and found that polycarbonate doesn't start becoming soft until at least 130 degrees C, so it isn't going to be melting! :)
[HTC One X] mzaza:
Your post made me feel better now :D
[HTC One X] M3PH:
Good work there lad.
[HTC One X] failai:
Hi there,

Bought a pair of the Beats Tour earphones with Control Talk for my HTC One X today. The Play/Pause button works as it should but when I pressed the volume buttons it does nothing...

I have read a post somewhere that HTC phones (especially the One series) will work with any earphones with in-line remote control...

It seems so strange to me that the One X delivers the Beats technology but does not work with Beats earphones...
[HTC One X] jermx:
Is it a pair of genuine Beats Tour? Try w/ an iPhone to see if it work. As far as I know, volume controls only work for the iPhone and iPod.
[HTC One X] Apiddo:
Try the Headset Button Controller trial app in google play. You can map out the buttons like long click for volume up, double click to skip tracks etc etc. Tried it with Desire HD's stock earphone today and it worked (Used DHD's stock earphone because I don't have any other headset with 3-button control)
[HTC One X] ayan15:
try klipsch control.. free and full config.. even with other headset working..
[HTC One X] Robster83:
I've got some ControlTalk Beats too and the volume control is the only thing that doesn't work. They were bought for an iPhone so I'm not entirely surprised. I bought the Headset Button Controller (think that's the name) App and it allows a lot of customisation, including skip forward/backward, but still no volume control.

It just seems like only the centre button works, not the extra side buttons.
[HTC One X] nhduc_ee:
can anyone show me where i can buy this for my htc one x ( Beats by dr.dre Urbeats ) in UK ? I found many sellers in ebay but the price not the same ( 35£ or 99£ )
[HTC One X] lk1974:
Hi

Considering getting this. Does the mic and call answer at least work with this "HTC ControlTalk" cable? I know the standard Beats one doesn't.
[HTC One X] bigdirtyjase:
Are you talking about Beats Tour or UrBeats??

The Beats Tour ControlTalk controls are designed for iPhone. Like most of the guys have said here, download a third party app to map the controls

If you're talking about getting the UrBeats/iBeats. then the ControlTalk controls work fine (I got a set of UrBeats for my One X and work great)
[HTC One X] optiknerv:
I bought mine HERE. They have them in black and red to. They are genuine as handtec is a reputable company.
[HTC One X] peekeje:
Beats

The HOX says its Beats compatible.

and whernever i use any earphone or speakser, the BEATS is activate.

So, is it necessary to have the Beats Earphones for getting the Beast Dre effect ?

or its built in already in my HOX. and can be same effect with normal earphone which came with HOX.

thanks,

Pramod
[HTC One X] optiknerv:
No it is not necessary to have beats headphones for the effect. It used to be in the old sensation xe/xl but not the HOX.
[HTC One X] peekeje:
Thank you very much for the information..
[HTC One X] optiknerv:
The urbeats do come with a nice inline controller / mic though. Allows for play/Pause as well as answering calls with the built in mic. It also has buttons to skip tracks forward and backwards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicken Nugget(s):
Hi guys, I recently started having problem with reception, sometimes data would go off, sometimes I can't send texts or calls even though it shows full bars and sometimes it completely cuts off. I've updated the radio to the latest, it worked for a minute and then it stops working, but now my phone restarts itself after a while as well (it boots up). This happens with several ROMs I tried. What's going on? I'm on Orange UK if it helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
open dialler

*#*#4636#*#*

Phone settings, network type, WCDMA preferred or GSM auto

if that doesn't work then I dunno. Maybe it's a bad sim.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicken Nugget(s):
I tried both options, it now says emergency calls only. I'll swap sims and see how it goes
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicken Nugget(s):
I tried something really bizarre... I switched my speakers off. I can now get signal. So damn weird! Anyway thanks a lot for your help, I'll be hitting that thanks ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdixie:
gday, Been trolling site for ages, and now I need help.

I have had cm7 installed for months now, and all was ok until today. I turned the phone on and it stuck at google screen.

I have googled and tried various things all of which I don't understand and have probably made it worse.

If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdixie:
mrs went and bought another phone, so Im gunna drop kick the defy out into the street.:D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sainyam:
flash another sbf..

btw if you going to through it then why not donate it to one of the devs as they might use it to experiment on it..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Land of Smeg:
I replied to you in the other thread, if you don't want it I would take it.

Havent given up yet as i would like to give the phone to my son, if i ever get it going again. charging mcguyver at the moment. and thanks for replying fellas I appreciate it because i havent a clue.

ps smeg i have pm'd you but it doesnt seem to be working

Sainyam I have flashed many sbfs and i have made it worse
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdixie:
righto have this sbf flashed and working JDGC_U6_2.13.0.sbf\JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

system version 2.13.0.me525.chinaunicom.en.cn

android 2.2.2

kernal 2.6.32.9

so i am guessing you still have bl4 ..

so try flashing this...

if you dont have Telstra australia mobile..

then let me know...

if it is not installed then try this and then install cm7 on it ....
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdixie:
thanks to the land of smeg,

Phone is up and running,not original but damn close.

I havent done a custom rom because I would probably pick the wrong one an stuff it up again

I will post his directions for anyone else who royally roots their phone like I did.

.

You need to flash the 3.4.2-179-2 CEE nandroid over your chinese ROM

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=123

Then the 3.4.2-179-2 CEE fixed SBF

I can't find a working link for this. If you can't find one either you can make your own by downloading the Full SBF

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts...vice1FF.sbf.gz

and then use SBF Depacker:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11195138

Delete the CG31 and CG39 and that will turn it into a Fixed SBF for you to flash.

Then install CM7 or CM9

make sure you use the CM7 kernel
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Land of Smeg:
No worries, glad to help.:D

This is the solution to downgrade JDGC_U6_2.13.0 Chinese ROM with a BL6 kernel.

Have to use Nandroid/Fixed SBF method as this ROM updates CDT(CG31) and SYSTEM(CG39) to version 6, once a version goes up it can't be put back down, and if you flash a Full SBF of a lower version then the black screen problem will happen, but the Fixed SBF method flashes everything except CDT and SYSTEM (which have lower version numbers) and the Nandroid backup overwrites SYSTEM with the data while still keeping it at "version 6" as this is the minimum.

In future, when flashing ROMs do NOT try to flash ROMs which have higher versions than the Stock SBF if you wish to keep warranty, as even though you have effectively still gone back to that ROM, if the service centre looks carefully they will see that you are on higher Version CDT and SYSTEM which means that you must have been messing around with ROMs.
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
Anybody get one of those stickers on their phone? I came across skinit and thought "hey why not..." Looks pretty cool

Some show what it will actually look like on the Titan while others just show the basic image of what would go on it. I'm guessing those stickers would stick fine on a screen protector, then the back gets me iffy since stickers don't tend to stay folded... Then again I'm going to have a case on it anyways :D
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I am looking for stickers but not this pricey and also all I want is a huge sticker that shouts out "Windows Phone" - think we need brand awareness and I want to do my bit ;)

This is what I ordered off that website
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trinfinate:
I am going to get the note but when i research on unlocking it i found the modem t unlock that makes it works with tmobile hspa+, but when i go on craigslist to to buy it they sell the note with "imei" unlock....whats the difference?...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jckpsa:
IMEI Unlock = SIM/Network Unlock

If your phone is AT&T Network locked, you can use your phone with

only

AT&T sim cards.

So If phone is Network Unlocked, you can use it with any sim card.

Modem unlock will make your phone able to connect T-Mobile's Mobile Network (it unlocks the frequencies that hardware supports but not software)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RippSpeed:
so which way is better ???

I too am interested in getting a Note over the Galaxy S2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
There is no better or worse - if you want to use AT&T and have an AT&T SIM, then you don't need either.

If you want to use T-Mobile then you need to IMEI unlock the device so it accepts a T-Mobile SIM, then you need to install the T-Mobile Modem if you want speeds beyond 2G EDGE.

TL;DR: IMEI Unlock lets you use a non AT&T SIM in the device, Modem "Unlock" lets you use T-Mobile's 3G frequencies along with that T-Mobile SIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schuflea:
Can anyone point me to a good write up on how to install the Tmobile modem?

I am rooted and IMEI unlocked. Sorry just new to this stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
all i had to do (after root and unlock) was flash the "Blaze 4G modem" through Clockwork mod, from AllGamer's thread. that opened up the AWS frequencies.

EDIT: found it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547114
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trinfinate:
so basically you need both unlocks to use it on t-mobile....imei to use t-mobie sim card and modem unlock to use 3g/4g speeds on t-mobile network....and i heard u still get a weak signal .....dont know if affects your experience as in dropped calls and slow data ect ect...but um @ schuflea http://rootgalaxynote.com it will tell you how to install anything on your galaxy note...good luck ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trinfinate:
if any one is still thinking about getting a gnote.....you should wait...its officially coming out for t-mobile....well thats wuts going around the net....theres even pictures of it with t-mobile branding.....you should wait like a month...its 4/28/12 wait till 5/28/12 lol....see wut happens....

Anyone else experiencing the home screen reloading itself when coming out of an app or internet browser. It's annoying the hell out of me surely a quad core phone shouldn't be experiencing lag. Also internet browser is pretty laggy too
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
What firmware version are you on? Sense reload bug was fixed in the 1.21.28 OTA

In terms of browser lag, turn HTC gestures off in settings or use a different browser like Chrome
[HTC One X] longleylufc:
Firmware is whatever it came with on Vodafone contract checked for updates and it says my phone is up to date.

Internet browser I use is dolphin hd
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
So go to About Phone and check the firmware..
[HTC One X] PaulWilks:
I have had this. It seemed to almost go away with the 1.28 OTA update but it's still ever-so-slightly noticeable.

I'm on latest F/W and you still notice a slight pause going back to home screen. No loading or anything but its still there for sure.

No big deal.

I had 1.26. Mine was very laggy, especially when i had 4x4 favorites contacts widget. This was so irritating that i sold the phone.

Has this been fixed in 1.28 ?
[HTC One X] adesonic:
I am on 1.28 and still get the loading screen from time to time, hugely annoying when it happens.
[HTC One X] otacon888:
Yup...I am on 1.28 and the loading still happens...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Its not the CPU or device fault, its sense launcher its laggy when the widgets gets populated, its slightly better in 1.28 but still laggy

why? because every widget is made from layers to make the very slight 3d depth effect, think of it as if you put 5x times the amount of widgets, its just dodgy code

in Sense 3.x i made a hack that solved the issue by flattening/pausing every widget during page scroll (ultra rosie)

download Apex launcher (based on stock ICS launcher) and see how fast this device is....

Apex launcher+matte htc skin+andoird power widgets(ics skin)
