[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snipthecat27:
I have upgraded my SGS2 to ICS (PDA I9100DXLP7) (rooted with CF-ROOT). All was fine the first weeks, then I started having occasional phone crazyness often when the battery was lower than 30%. Phone would reboot, gets very hot and keeps reboot until battery totally flat within minutes.

I noticed an additional problem which is auto-update was giving many errors such as : package invalid, not enough storage to install app (well got 300MB free for apps, 3GB on internal sd and 4GB on external...)... but manual install/upgrade always succeeds.

Then I started having issue of loss of mobile data connectivity... rebooting the phone would solve the problem..except that now almost everytime I reboot the phone, the cpu usage is at 100%, phone soft reboot (not full reboot) after a while (from 1 to 5 minutes). battery is being sucked at the rate of ~1% per minute!!! Usually it takes about 30 to 50 minutes of loop reboot before the phone can work... once it works and cpu is not 100% all is fine. Even plugged in the charger the phone barely maintains it's battery level, if plugged in usb, battery keeps going down!

cpu usage is caused by system server (100% cpu on both cores). I tried adb debug console, all I see is that the phone gets stuck for a while, then all processes are being killed and the phone soft-reboot.

I tried clear the dalvik cache and reformat the cache partition, didn't really seem to help. I tried disabling media scanner too, with no luck.

I now notice that most of the time the phone is stuck in that auto-reboot loop, the auto-update process is in progress... not sure if it means anything.

Anyone got any idea on what is wrong? is a full wipe/reinstall my only solution?

Thanks,

David.

Hi there,

This is a bit of a random question but is there a way to hide a certain person from appearing in your contacts and their text messages from showing? I don't want to delete them or their texts, just to hide them?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Alaa-:
You Can Delete The Contact :p

im affraid you cant do such thing but there is in the store some apps to lock your stuffs including contacts if you like
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglittlegato:
I don't know about contacts but the Sense roms I used would allow you to move single texts or entire conversations to the secure box, hiding them until you enter your password. The aokp rom I use now has no such option.

As the previous person said. Theres an app in the play store called secret box and miui has it as a built in function. Havent played with the miui one too much. Not sure if it hides it or blocks it.

I hope my gf doesn't read this :D

Edit: the app hides the contacts, pics, calls, messeges. But play around with it cause I think it will still show at the moment it comes in. You don't need any surprises. Oh, and I'm talking about sms messages.

More to say have I. My drinking buddy rom is vu (i know its old but works n is sexy) which is sense. If that's you this works. Never seen the app.

Put the contact you ent to hide on you sin. Open people, click menu, click view deselect sin.

Wit that n the secure sms inbox, its hides. Will show on Sense lockscreen except weather or pics. But u may want hide some them too.

If u not sense, try app. Let us know. Some US secrets too. ;)

hi everybody,how to root evo 3d android 2.3.4 & hboot 1.49.0018.is there any tools to direct s-off without downgrade h-boot?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Sad to say but no not anymore because of the hboot being as high as it is now a year ago we could with no problem until HTC started raising the security level of the hboot witch means we will have to use HTC dev to unlock the bootloader then use the ruu's to downgrade the hboot and the leads us to the almighty and famous s off

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mythico:
So I have noticed my screen randomly shifting or random keys being pressed and made me believe that it could be the ghost finger I have heard about this morning. I am currently reading into possible solutions if that is the case.

One thing I noticed from the last time it did it is that it isn't random. Which made me wonder if it was the ghost finger or something else or maybe if it is help provide more insight to others.

So I was texting when it happened and it pressed a bunch of keys for a bit in an area on my keyboard that doesn't respond. Then once it was done having its way with my keyboard those keys now worked (will break again later I am sure as this isn't the first time). What it almost seems to be is the keys pressed in that area were possibly working but the key press weren't registering correctly but then just prior to the keys working again it processed all those key presses I did while it didn't work. if that makes sense.

Does this sound like the ghost finger or something else?

*edit* Incase it matters the problem area is around the e/s key on my keyboard

[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
I posted this in another thread but thought it was worthy of its own thread.

I've owned a lot of Android devices with 1GB of RAM - Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Note, and the original Transformer. This is the first android device that actually shows 1gb of ram. Every 1gb phone or tablet I've had only lists around 750mb total, and then only about 400 or so free on a fresh boot. The explanation has always been that 1gb is shared ram and that the mixing 250mb or so is for video ram. You can see total and available ram in an app called OSMonitor. Anyway, the tf300 actually shows 1gb total ram, and 750 free on a fresh boot. So that's an extra 250mb of usable ram over other devices.

Thoughts?
[Transformer TF300T General] TheBigX:
The device has more as 1GB RAM (1,2GB maybe)?

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
It's advertised as 1GB of RAM, so either it has more actual RAM (1.2 like you suggest) or it has dedicated video RAM somehow.

It's very possible this is inherent to Tegra3. I do not have any Tegra 3 devices to check. I'm going to ask in the Prime Q&A section.
[Transformer TF300T General] goodintentions:
Obviously either a design flaw or outright false advertisement. You should sue them for giving you more ram than advertised.
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
WTF? I'm not complaining I'm trying to understand it. It's different than every other Android device.
[Transformer TF300T General] mrevankyle:
Goodintentions is known to be sarcastic you will learn that in time. Most likley it is because tegra 3's gpu has its own dedicated ram so it does not go into the system ram
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
That would explain it. do you have a source link to back that up? not finding anything in a google search.

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] GuestK007:
Everything im finding is that it just has the 1gb of ram, but possibly the way it handles it is different and may expand or shrink that video ram depending on what it needs.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-3-processor.html

just general info
[Transformer TF300T General] jblah:
also is DDR3
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
Yeah DDR3 means it's faster and has more bandwidth, but that wouldn't affect whether the system has dedicated or shared video RAM.
[Transformer TF300T General] Scavar:
Is it possible that it's just more efficient in the usage of it's 1GB of ram than the previous products? I can't find any mention anywhere of Tegra 3 specifically doing anything or of the TF300 having more secret ram or anything.
[Transformer TF300T General] das7771:
That was the first thing that I noticed about this tab, is that the memory management on this tab is awesome. I can be running GTA3, have two or three tabs open in the browser and also be streaming music and the RAM only drops to about 550MB. At idle on a fresh boot, around 750MB free at idle, and If i do a task killer it will jump up to 830MB temporarily. I can only think it's becuase of the Tegra3 CPU. Regardless it's nice to see a tab with so much free RAM.
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
No because we're not talking about FREE RAM here we're taking about TOTAL RAM. either the system has more than 1GB or it's not sharing RAM with the video card.
[Transformer TF300T General] nightwulf:
Huge amounts of free RAM is not something nice to see; it's a pointless waste. I guess that misunderstanding is still pervasive in the "OMG tasks are in RAM MUST KILL THEM" community ...
[Transformer TF300T General] EvoXOhio:
Huge amounts of free RAM on a fresh boot is a GREAT thing. It means that the OS is lightweight and not loading tons of bloatware into memory. Now after using the tablet and opening tons of apps the free RAM should go down, if not then yes it is wasting RAM by dumping stuff out of memory.

But besides that the topic at hand is total RAM. more total RAM means more apps can stay in the background which means better multitasking.
[Transformer TF300T General] a.mcdear:
They all actually have 1GB of RAM. The difference is simply that some chips separate the video RAM and the system RAM, where others are able to use a shared memory space and dynamically allocate RAM to video as necessary.

Most likely, devices with higher memory bandwidth will be able to use dynamically allocation because the extra bandwidth provides the overhead necessary to minimize performance impacts should the GPU need to pull more memory from the system on the fly.

On Tegra2 devices which were limited to 1 channel of 32bit ddr2, there is much less memory bandwidth than on tegra3 with ddr3 (or dual channel ddr2 like ipad). In this instance, it would cause a performance hit to have to free up extra memory from background tasks and then reallocate it to the gpu - so the solution is to just partition the entire memory into two sections each of which are generally large enough for both their respective duties: video ram and system ram.
[Transformer TF300T General] demandarin:
current reviews & memory benchmarks have shown the 300 ddr3 ram shows no Performance improvement over Prime ddr2. developers here can probably make the most it though.

Finally you all have your own section. CONGRATS!

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

he makes a great point. although no memory improvements shown in benchmarking, what he is saying could be seen as an improvement though. good info.

300 is not the only Tegra3 kid on the block with new DDR3 ram. Toshiba just released their Tegra3 Excite 10.1 in. tablet. it has gorilla glass, 1280x800 display, and 1gb DDR3 ram. available in 16 or 32gb. you can also order a 64gb.
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
500 bucks for a 32gig.... No sir.
[Transformer TF300T General] rpmbnsf:
In the spec section Amazon lists the TF300 as having 2GB of RAM...I'm sure its a mistype though.

[Transformer TF300T General] MCOGW:
Running 2.6 Kernel mine shows 983,2 MB of Total RAM.

After installing some nec. apps it drops down from ~850 MB to ~630 of

available RAM. After removal of most BW it shows ~820 MB of free RAM.

It's normal behaviour. It just acts like the Prime. Open it und you'll see a Prime with some faster MemoryChips & an optimized board design ;)

I just hated my Prime for many reasons, but I really love this one :)

They've improved very much here

Hi,

Would it be possible to unlock the bootloader without going thru HTCDev?

I found this thread regarding a universal HTC unlocker here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24324567

Would this work for the One XL?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pumpiron579:
HTC Dev site does not show One X, Select “All other supported models” if you cannot find your phone in this list

Has anyone done this with the One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GameGod72:
This will likely work, but my question was about unlocking the bootloader without using HTCDev.

This is even more important now, as reports are that HTC is denying warranty if the bootloader is unlocked via their site.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pumpiron579:
I know, I didn't want to start a thread asking that. was just wondering since it is not listed. I wouldn't use that yet, seems like within a week, we will have s-off and more

Tried the universal HTC unlocker and it didn't work. Nothing wrong with my phone either after it failed either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GameGod72:
Bummer. Thanks for trying though.

Hopefully the superb devs on board will figure out a way to do this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
I think it's very possible using the same method, it just needs to be adjusted for the new partition layout of the newer HTC devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] buddy17:
everything i have read about HTCDev unlocker is that if you return the phone for warranty work with a custom ROM loaded, they will deny it.

BUT, if you have the bootloader unlocked and running the stock rom (return to stock before sending it in), they will process the warranty work as usual.

I still want to find a way around HTCDev, but, just letting you know what i have read
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
This person had warranty service denied, despite the fact that he flashed the stock ROM before sending it in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631466

Apparently, they have some way of knowing a custom ROM was flashed, even if its not on there when you send it in. Makes me wonder, even if an alternate method to unlock the bootloader (without HTC Unlock) is developed, will they still know you loaded a custom ROM in the past, and refuse warranty service?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RMatt1992:
On a previous device I'd owned, after S-OFF they found a way to get rid of the device specific "TAMPERED" logo in the bootloader. I suspect there would be a way to do so on this device as well.

I can't remember which device it was, though...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GameGod72:
Its probably a combination of the device being registered for unlock on HTCDev and something on the device.

I'm pretty sure, sooner or later, the devs will figure out a way to return the device to a "clean" state. All the more reason I would love for a way to get this done without going thru official channels.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pumpiron579:
cause of illegal software,

Look,

We are contacting you concerning the HTC One X which you returned to us due to there being a yellow tint on the display. As you are aware we sent the handset to the HTC service centre as it was not possible to have it classed as a DOA (dead on arrival), due to the bootloader being unlocked and illegal software having been installed.

The HTC service has confirmed that illegal software has been installed on the handset at some time by yourself resulting in the warranty being invalidated

. Simply unlocking and relocking the bootloader would not have invalidated the warranty.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshnichols189:
When you flash custom software it trips a switch that displays "Tampered" on the HBOOT screen, whether or not you flash stock back on and relock the bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
Actually read the posts though. The guy didn't send it to HTC.

HTC will still service the device, even after an unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeepFreak:
OK, on topic... I just looked through the HTCdev process for the first time. It seems that we should start by comparing device identifier tokens and unlock files, right?

Perhaps there is a pattern to them or we can figure out how to generate one from the other? Maybe the device identifier token has nothing to do with the unlock file apart from HTC wanting to record a unique identifier of the phone?

Has anybody tried using an unlock file from a different user's phone (of the same make/model)? That would be a huge break-through if it was that easy!

I would think somebody would have tried this, but up until now, nobody seemed to have a problem following HTC's process to get their bootloader unlocked.

Thanks,

Billy

Hi guys im new getting my one x from ma bell, in a few days. Im coming from an amaze, amaze forums.

You guys need to understand, htc WILL know if anything was "tampered" with.

Most software bares a timestamps, or something similar that will let them know when and what the phone was flashed with. So even if you reflash, its going to show a timestamp of sorts.

Htc put the disclaimer of warranty denial to give them an option im sure.

I returned several phones rooted, bricked to T-Mobile, and they never said anything. Its like a car, the manufacturer can void your warranty for any "mods" you do....

I hope every one here gets some patience, and not worry about rooting, bootloader unlock , bloatware.

For now it is what it is... and it's only been

... a day???

We will get this ***** unlocked, romed and kick some ass... just gonna take time... and from the looks of it we have some brilliant devs here! :D.

Be patient and give it some time guys, check out the amaze forums and see what happens when people start whining about stuff going to slow or not happening ( not calling any one a whiner, so chill)... the devs start disappearing.

Ok im done... probably not the right place for intros but ah well!!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nafeasonto:
Okay, I have done the following things:

1. I have soldered the connection inside the phone. (Yes very nicely I might add as I solder a lot at work.)

2. I have the Sub-Zero build 75 kernel.

3. I am using Slim ICS Rom from the android development forum.

Why in the hell does the GPS lock on instantly sometimes, and other times I have to restart the phone 20 times before it will even thinking about locking on again?

What is wrong with this phone's GPS? What else can I do to get this GPS to work all the time. The programs that "clear the GPS data" or the phone code that does it, does not work. There is no message and no sign that it cleared anything. The "secret code" program just crashes of course, when I try to use the GPS clear data.

Is there anything else I can do, besides throwing this phone against the wall. I actually NEED the GPS sometimes because I travel a lot, and I can't even rely on this phone.
