[General Questions and Answers] Cirkustanz:
Here's my guess:

Google wants us to use drive, but what they don't want us to use Drive for, is just an easier way of syncing data to the phone. Personally, I can't stand mounting the phone with a USB cable. The problem is that I always forget it's plugged in, my phone rings, and bah, my data transfer is corrupted. I thought drive would just be a real lazy way of wirelessly syncing data, such as video or music onto the phone.

It's not really "meant" for that, but it can work. In practice though, this is flawed, as it seems the "make file available offline" option doesn't allow you to change the directory of where that file is stored. So if your phone has 1.5gigs of in phone memory (mine does) and you want to transfer a 4gig file this way, what happens?

I kinda doubt that installing drive to the sd card changes that situation, and frankly it's not worth checking into.

The reason for that is, there are already quite a few wireless data transfer apps that are out there. I've only used a couple, and the ones I've tried I have not really liked (winamp for example, has a wifi sync option and even though I use winamp on my PC and have wireless N, the transfer rates of using winamp to wifi sync was REALLY slow), but I'm sure there are better ones out there.

I just havn't really spent the time to look for an app that works better. Ultimately what I would want is something I could install on the PC that would allow me to right click the file or folder, and select "send to Android" much in the same way as the chrome to phone app does. It would be especially nice if the phone's app could have settings that would know automatically where to store the file on the phone. Mp3 files would go to one folder, movies to another, etc. If I remember correctly, "fox to phone" had a real basic functionality of this, but it was rather simple in how it was done. I'll stumble across one some time!

I don't want to download files from Google Drive, instead I want to work in the cloud. Strange thing is that Google Drive doesn't seem to support that. For example, when I open a document or spreadsheet from the Dropbox app, edit it with an Office app such as QuickOffice and then save it, the file gets saved back to its original location, i.e. within the Dropbox. But when I did that from Google Drive app, I could only save the file locally on my phone. That means the copy in the cloud doesn't get updated. This is really bugging me.
[General Questions and Answers] Supaiku:
There are some wireless sync apps... My phone explorer is good. Check it out. Also, Lenovo has a tool which works not only with Lenovo devices, but also with my HTC One X and Toshiba Thrive - though it's a little jenky because of it's prorietaryness.
[General Questions and Answers] Cirkustanz:
I could be wrong, but from the description that appears to only sync things like contacts and calendar? I don't see any info about file transfers.

I'll check it out tonight though .
[General Questions and Answers] Supaiku:
Actually, that's partially true. The sync option only sync contacts, calendars, music and pics (the file sync does music and images, though I thought it would do everythig), however in the file sync window, you can just select all the folders on your memory card and download them, it promps for overwrites before starting (with checkboxes for each file and select all button), so it's not quite a sync, but a few clicks away...

Another Wireless file transfer app is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=597098

Haven't tried it yet.
[General Questions and Answers] Cirkustanz:
omg found exactly what I wanted!

This is a thread derail since it only marginally has something to do with google drive, but since someone had suggested a wifi sync app and I was still not happy with one, I wanted to post that I found one that works perfectly!

http://goo.gl/8FVRA

Here's some reasons why I like it:

It allows great customization of what folders are updated both on your device and on the computer. Personally what I'm doing is if I want to put music on the phone I just copy that folder into the synced folder on my computer, and voila....it is in the appropriate folder for my phone. For videos that I encode for my phone, the default output of those created videos is the folder I have synced, so this just happens automatically.

It has really nice options for exclusions.

It does not require any software or server to be installed on your desktop. You just have to have that computer be on a wifi network and use folder sharing.

It supports 2 way syncing, and has great options for moving, copying, whether or not to update same name files, can run on a schedule at a set time, or run manually if you choose.

It's free! There are a couple options locked behind a $1 fee, but most will not even need to use them.

FolderSync has solved all my problems. Set it up using "google docs", and you get auto folder syncing to selected folders, one-way up, one-way down, or up-and-down, and it supports many different services.

[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
Changing Drive settings other encrypted OFF and then setting your file to offline does work. In es file explorer if you long press the folder pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit and click shortcut command it will make a shortcut on your desktop of file pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit. Lot quicker to open it for your files.

If you use ASTRO you can copy the files inside of Google Drive and paste them into a folder in your SD.
[General Questions and Answers] tonypanduru:
This will work

If anybody is still wondering how to download from google drive here the solution is not to use the google drive app.

Just go in your browser and go to drive.google.com. Once you select the file it will prompt you to save it,like any other download.

Is a shame that the app itself does not have this function.
[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
I have also figured out that ES File explorer will do as Astro does. Just open ES and click on show tabs, then on the right is the Net tab, click it and then the + button, choose Drive, Dropbox or Box. Login and check to keep login and then you can access all your files on ES just like they were onboard. Can setup any and all cloud storage that you use, just have to add them 1 at a time. A lot easier and faster than having to use cloud storage without ES file explorer. :)

The app is called "Download All Files"

http://goo.gl/XafWN

Its great way to download files from google drive or other apps that don't allow. Its much easier than making files available offline and then browsing to said folder.

After installed you just have to click "open" file and then choose to open the file with "Download All Files", it will allow you to choose download location.

Fast and easy have been using this one for a couple years.

[HTC One X] Stonish:
Hi All,

After doing the HTC OtA software update to version 1.28.401.9, when power -> fast boot is enabled/ticked the phone will not turn back on after power off.

I need to hold down the power button to reset the phone (it appears that the phone does not turn off properly).

My phone was an unbranded direct purchase, but I asked a friend who has the One X on Vodaphone to test this:

1) Update to latest version (via about -> software updates).

2) Check that fast boot is enabled in the power settings.

3) Turn off phone.

4) Turn back on.

His update from Vodaphone was only to version 1.28.161.9, but his phone is exhibiting the same problem - only intermittently (whilst mine is every power cycle). Power On/Off is normal when fast boot is disabled, but the phone will not turn back on (requires long/reset press) when fast boot is enabled.

I should also mention that I have tried a factory reset of the phone, and a reset via the boot-loader - the problem still persists :(

Update #1:

I have tested this multiple times on my 1.28.401.9 version, and the problem occurs every time.

My friend has tested multiple times on version 1.28.161.9 from Vodaphone and the problem occurs the majority of the time, however occaisionly it does start up normally!

Update #2:

I have just had confirmation from a user in #htc-one-x on Freenode, that their device (ver. 1.28.401.9) also has this problem.

Please could some of you test this, and report your findings here?

Cheers,

Stonish
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
Is he still your friend?
[HTC One X] Stonish:
[Q] OtA update 1.28.401.9 *BREAKING* fast boot?

Hehe, luckily yes :) Obviously he would have done the update when prompted anyway - but he had disabled fast boot, so he would not have noticed this problem if it was not for me!
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
Well, I'm also Voda UK and I have the new Voda update and Fast Boot is enabled, but (luckily) no issues here. I hope this helps?
[HTC One X] DazNoonan:
The same can be said for me too... Updated to 1.28 a couple of days ago and never had this problem when turning the device on and off a couple of times.
[HTC One X] Stonish:
Thanks for checking, could you post your full software version number here for reference?

The two phones that I have seen exhibiting the problem are:

Unbranded Stock ROM : 1.28.401.9

Vodaphone branded : 1.28.161.9

Thanks also! That is strange, it seems from your signature that you are on the same version (1.28.161.9) as my friends Vodaphone that does exhibit this problem now.

It looks like this issue could be more complicated than it appears! The more responses we get here the better!
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I am also 1.28.161.9 :eek:
[HTC One X] Stonish:
Very Strange! I just got my friend to test his 1.28.161.9 version a few more times. The phone turned back on once out of three tests. The two failures required a reset, and gave a error reports.

So it seems to be intermittent on his phone, however on my newer version (1.28.401.9) it seems constant - fast boot never works.

Anyone else out there able to test?
[HTC One X] Saint2710:
I just updated last night to 1.28.161.9

My phone just turned off and would not turn back on, plugged charger in and no charge light showing, pressed and held power button and all that happened was the 3 soft buttons at the bottom of the screen flashed a few times.

How can I get my phone to boot up?

Vodafone One X std version - not rooted (YET)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
This is why I turn off fast boot the second I get an HTC phone
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
How much of a difference will this make?
[HTC One X] Stonish:
Sorry to hear about that, I am guessing that your update encountered a problem.

Are you able to get to the boot-loader screen? Just hold volume down/- and the power button simultaneously.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Not a lot, just means turning the phone off actually means off and not hibernation/stand-by
[HTC One X] Stonish:
I usually do the same, I only noticed the issue because fast boot is enabled by default after a factory reset.

Even though I don't normally have it enabled, it should at least work properly when it is enabled!

Well for me at least, the phone will actually turn on! :D

I really don't like the fast boot feature - I assume it is a type of 'suspend to disk', which I have never trusted! Especially over multiple suspend cycles.

You lose the time you gain fast booting when the device has to save its current state before it powers off.
[HTC One X] 50chickens:
i have 1.28.401.9 and have the same problem.
[HTC One X] Stonish:
Thanks for checking, it seems like this may turn out to be a widespread issue!
[HTC One X] Stonish:
I have submitted this to HTC, I will let you all know what I recieve back.

I used the 'Contact Us' section of the website, let me know if there is a better way to submit a problem report (I don't seem to be able to find anything).

In the meantime, if anyone else is experiencing this problem please post the software version here :)
[HTC One X] audiavant:
Have you seen this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
[HTC One X] Stonish:
Thanks audiavant, but unfortunately I don't think that is related to this problem.

The phone doesn't appear to get stuck on the splash screen (it just stays black), and will boot normally when the fast booting feature is disabled in the power menu.

I'd rather not unlock the phone just yet, it is purely the stock rom updated via the OtA software update feature at the moment.

I am tempted to try a manual re-flash though!
[HTC One X] Stonish:
I received a standard response from HTC. I was quite amused when the first instruction was to unmount and remount the SD card a few times then reboot - There does not seem to be any option to do this on the One X with its internal SD (Please correct me if I am wrong)! :)

They then suggested a factory reset, which I have already done a few times.

Other than that, they say it may be a software bug and I will have to send them every detail under the sun to file another report.

Hey guys. Quick question if anyone can help me.

A friend has a HTC One X from Three UK which he has had carrier unlocked by Three UK themselves. I want to know if I would be able to flash the stock Rom onto this device to debrand it, without having to S-Off.

His CID is H3G__001. I initially assumed he would not be able to without S-Off, but I thought I would check my old HTC Hero which was originally on Three UK and then unlocked in the same manner.

The Hero I managed to debrand by flashing a stock RUU, but the CID on that device is also H3G__001. So I'm thinking, if the CID ends with __001, does that mean a stock RUU can be flashed?

Do any of you know what the CID is for a locked Three UK device?

My friend is looking to sell his HTC One X and I'll only buy it if I can debrand it and have it running the stock firmware.

Currently using a Desire HD and iPhone 4, but getting sick and tired of waiting for the upcoming ICS update. If HTC had said the DHD is not being update, then I would have just got the One X..! :)
