[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
Do you close active applications when you're done with them or simply leave them running?

I've been reading that it's best practice to just leave apps as they are when you're done using them. That you can end up causing problems or even eating more battery/resources if you use a task manager to close them.

What's your take?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
If its a game or such, I exit out of the game with the back button, ending the task. I don't normally kill any other background apps unless i'm troubleshooting or its causing problems.

Its true what they say about task killers and prematurely ending tasks. Android by version 2.2 had become adept at handling background tasks and ending them when needed. No user interference is required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
+1. With the new ROMs Task Killers are total useless. They can do more harm then good. OF COURSE, exiting/quitting apps THAT HAVE an exit button is a good idea.

Good luck !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
What about clearing ram I see thirty programs close is that bad are they apps that should be running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
If that really bothers you it is best to REBOOT your phone. It is a much, much better way to return to "zero". And it takes a min at most...

It also really helps reset apps etc..... With something like ICS, unless you fully understand its memory mangement, clearing memory willy-nilly only leads to phone mess-up and then yu'll have to reboot any way. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] erg.cgs:
Personally, I only kill an app that has stopped responding. And usually I do that by restarting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I kill nothing. Let android do what it does best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
I kill apps all the time since ICS leaked. Hold home and swipe away everything I'm not using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I don't think that works the way you think it does??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Indeed it does. It's a built in task manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Well ics handles it slightly different giving the user the ability to control the amount of stuff in the background runing. No reason to use a task manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SolsticeZero:
Really, unless an app is giving you problems or excessively draining your battery, they should be left as they are. Ever since Froyo, Android has done a really good job of memory management.
[HTC One S] lileddy305:
guys i have the option to get a new phone and im looking to get either the sensation for free or the one s. i just dont know if the one s is really worth the upgrade it or should i just stick with the sensation thats free till a better htc phone comes out?

im worried about development for the htc one s cause the sensation has a lot of support in this forum and a lot of roms and im scared the one s isnt gonna get as big as the sensation.. what are your takes?

thank you :)
[HTC One S] Raibyn:
The Sensation is a very good phone with great dev support. One of the most supported phones in the community. However, give the One S some time. I think dev support will come around. Hardware wise, the One S is definitely a nice upgrade. Some will complain about the pentile screen, but otherwise it is superior in every way (and I personally don't think the One S screen is worse than the Sensation's). The camera on the One S is far better, it has a screaming processor, more RAM, comes with Sense 4 stock, is thinner, lighter (but still well built) and has a faster data connection than the Sensation. The biggest drawbacks are non-removable battery and lack of SD card. I'd say the One S is the better choice.

when ever i receive an MMS it asks me to download the file and then becomes stuck on "downloading"...i'm not sure if its my apn or something else.

i'm using an at&t galaxy s2 with aokp 4/25..siyah kernel and ucld3

and don't say "call at&t"...i might as well drive to the nearest farm and ask a cow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Did you turn off (disable) the AT&T mobile network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1weener:
Are you sure that you are on 4.25 and not 4/26? 4/26 is being rebuilt because of this issue. Try downloading and flashing 4/25... it works for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmtrago:
i'm not a noob brah..i'm well aware of what rom version i'm running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1weener:
but I am a noob, so I thought I'd ask. How about re-flashing GAPPS?
[HTC One S] dannyy2200:
So I bought a One S from craigslist about 2 weeks ago. The guy said it was a dev phone. At the top on the case is a tag of numbers and letters printed on the phone. When I first boot the phone it has a HTC splash screen along with the text

"This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."

Booting into the bootloader I get this:

*** LOCKED ***

VLE XC SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-11111111

HBOOT-0.90.0000

RADIO-0.14.31.22_2

OpenDSP-v10.1.0.31.0221

eMMC-boot

Feb 21 2012,14:27:31

HBOOT

<VOL UP> to previous item

<VOL DOWN> to next item

<POWER> to select item

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

SHOW BARCODE

Also it came with CWM 5.8.1.5 already installed. I tried to use Hasoon's tool to install a more recent CWM but it wouldn't work.

I tried to unlock the bootloader using the htcdev site and token and that didn't work.

I was able to flash it with the UTB ROM using the existing CWM and it works but I cannot gain root access even though supersu is installed and I add apps to its list.

Any ideas on how to get root access?
[HTC One S] hammondnav:
Looking at your HBOOT version it seems like the device is on early software. You're already S-OFF, so you can try flashing the official TMO release ROM and follow the guides on XDA to root.
[HTC One S] dannyy2200:
I don't see the official release. There is a thread here that says T-Mobile USA Complete Rom but there's no link to the actual ROM.
[HTC One S] sanchitgrover:
I thought reselling of these phones can land u into trouble ?

I mean the development phones
[HTC One S] androidcues:
what about busybox? there's an app to install that if you don't have it
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
dude thats awesome :)

post us some pictures of the phone and the HBOOT menu :)

If you are S-OFF and supercid, the possibilities are endless... flash an ruu, that should bring you upto date with the latest firmware and software..
[HTC One S] dannyy2200:
it wont let me post my photo album because i am still new so i am pm'ing you the link. what are some things i can do with this phone? i'm still a noob but a quick learner. so far i've only flashed a couple of roms. currently using black dragon's. still haven't gotten root access though.
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
You could talk to the devs in the development section (as soon as you have your 10 posts) und help them to get s-off with providing informations maybe.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yeah man that would be a great idea, PM some and see if you can help them :D as for getting the bootloader unlocked, Unless HTCdev isnt working, there isnt much else yet.

why does it not work ? what errors does it give ?
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
hmm seems that I'm lacking some knowledge ^^

Is there any necessesity for unlocking the bootlaoder if the device already has s-off? Thouht that s-off would mean no security and full system access. :confused:
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
S-OFF means the NAND partition is writeable, When its S-ON this partition is locked (Security ON ), so with S-OFF we can customise even further, Flashing Radio.IMGs and lots more,

With unlocked bootloader we can do things like install a recovery and flash Root.

the perfect scenario would to have S-OFF AND Unlocked Bootloader.
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
Ah alright, I thought S-OFF would already allow to flash root.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
nope :( usually when using an S-OFF tool, such as revolutionary, It will unlock bootloader at the same time..

surely theres someone out there can can do something really awesome with this developer phone !!
[HTC One S] dannyy2200:
well it doesn't give me any errors, and says unlock successful, and just acts as if it went ahead and unlocked, but when i boot into the loader it still says locked. weird.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
hmmmm..

maybe theres a command you can use in adb ? Im not sure..

I know the command to relock is ''fastboot oem lock'' maybe ''fastboot oem unlock'' might do something lol.

i have no idea :p as with most things in my life

[Nokia Lumia 900] cubanaso:
Not sure if this was posted here already but over at the wpcentral forums someone found a neat way of adding extra options under cellular settings. First you need to access the data menu by dialing ##DATA# the click the .... (bottom tab) and click settings. Now this part was a trial and error. I switched it to 2g and exited but nothing happened. Then I clicked automatic and exited then rebooted the phone and now under cellular menu I can control whether I want 2g, 3g, or 4g. Unfortunately, at&t considers 4g as lte so you can't control that. Hope you guys enjoy

[Nokia Lumia 900] cubanaso:
Unfortunately att displays 4g symbol for 3g. Iam seeing on the Nokia diagnostic app around 85-99 power consumption with edge only.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Nice, I got it to work, I'm on At&t. The " Reboot " I did was after backing out of settings I pushed " ToggleENS(REBOOT) " the very last option in the main DATA menu.

At first I was just backing out of the DATA menu and rebooting the phone with the power button. I got it to work using the info above.

Now off to test the DL-Speeds to see if it really is changing things or just the display.

UPDATE: I'm getting high download speeds ~7000kbps with EDGE activated and registered. However I notice with 3G and 4G that it displays 4G for both on info bar top of phone. The other interesting thing I noticed was the option to select which network I want. If you click 'tap to select' and wait out the search it may give you more options. It gave me the options to use Automatic, At&t, and Maritime networks. I selected Maritime and it said " Registering ..... " Top left corner of screen. After that it displayed my network as " Maritime " not " At&t ". I was on 4G Maritime network. My DL Speed were ~12000kbps. I'm trying to search now what Maritime network is. So far it points to ocean networks/satellite .
[Nokia Lumia 900] kenikh:
I did the same - worked great. Now to figure out this Maritime thing. the only mention on AT&T's website is related to roaming while on a cruise ship, which can activate a local maritime network connection for cell phones on the ship. I wonder if the "Maritime" network is the network node that cruise ships can connect to, although it would seem more logical for them to be satellite connected when at sea.

I live near the coast, but you live inland, albeit likely near the Ohio River. I wonder if someone in a totally landlocked area can see "Maritime"?

Now to do some speed tests.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cubanaso:
I was wondering the same thing in reference to maritime. On edge I get 0.28-0.50 mbs so it definitely works. Now I want to do a battery life test with only edge on, then 3g. If this makes a big difference al we would need is a toggle switch via a shortcut tile to make this work great. Or even better Nokia should allow us to have the option for our phones to switch to edge when the screen is off and back to 4g when we're actively using it.

Good information. I was wondering how to open up that menu. Now hurry up and find a way to edit the MMS apn through the diagnostics app like on my lumia 800 :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Works as suggested. Enjoying LTE speeds finally (the 3G coverage on my Surround sucked) but in testing, it does consume a lot of juice when your screen is on (sleeping is the same as 3G), about 30% more than WiFi. So I might test an Edge/WiFi combo for giggles. FYI, I have access to WiFi 90% of the day.

HSPA+?

So does this allow me to disable LTE and step down to HSPA+ or would I have to go to 3G only? The reason I ask is I'm on an unlimited employee plan but if I change to an LTE device I have to go with a higher data rate and lose the unlimited. Obviously I'm not interested in that but nor am I interested in reverting to 3G. Thanks in advance.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Im unfamiliar with the "unlimitted employee plan" but I have an old grandfathered unlimitted data plan and I went to LTE with no problem. I freaked at first after talking to the sales guy about not wanting to loose the unlimitted and seeing the bill say my unlimitted plan was set to end on a specific date but further down it showed the unlimitted LTE plan picked up on the same date.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
Unlimited LTE plans certainly exist. That's what I use and I have a FAN discount, what I believe you are referring to as an "employee plan."

You will have to do some checking. Getting good info for your particular situation is tough.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ddelong22:
Yes and no. You can disable the LTE, but if you want to use the phone properly you will have to change your plan. I am on a similar plan because I work at Radio Shack. I couldn't get my MMS to work and had to manually add my data APN because I was on the unlimited plan. I called my account rep. and she said it was either deal with no MMS and have unlimited data or change it. Granted it's only 10 bucks more to have 5gigs of data so I did that since I don't need unlimited anyway. Might be worth giving your account rep a call when you get a chance.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
So here is what I don't get. Why does at&t have unlimited LTE plans? I'm on one now. I just don't understand how come I was allowed to get on it but other grandfathered people allegedly would be barred.

By definition everyone on LTE unlimited is grandfathered. Right? at&t only started having LTE phones a couple of months ago. Am I wrong?
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrism583:
It's slightly different because I work for AT&T(a franchise actually) so I don't get to keep my "grandfathered" data plan. I'm probably in the boat of having to try and hack my APN unfortunately. Thank you, though, for all the replies.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Pretty sure that's correct. My rep simply moved me from my grandfathered Unlimited Plan to the Unlimited LTE Plan when I pre-ordered my L900. No questions asked.
