[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
Will AT&T allow you to turn on and inspect the One X before purchasing it? I want to make sure it has no dead pixels before I pull the trigger. I have the worst luck with that stuff. From what I've seen in some reviews it has a big sticker covering the screen that says something like "I'm the one you've been waiting for". I wonder if I can take that off and look at the screen before definitely saying "i'll take it".

Also, does the *#0*# screen test work on HTC phones?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
I would definitely inspect the unit before I signed the contract or finished my purchase. Would be a bummer to find a stuck pixel right after leaving the store. I'm sure they would exchange, but I would rather find any issues before they had my money.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
I already turned on and played around with the one they set aside for me for tomorrow.

Can't wait!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Maroon Mushroom:
If you ask - yes.

But if there was a defect with it you can just exchange it on the spot anyway.

We can't do that with iphones because they're wrapped in plastic.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
Can you exchange a defective phone at any AT&T store, or does it have to be the one you bought it from?

I'm on my 2nd AT&T One X. Both have dead pixels. I was going to live with this one (2 dead pixels) but then I started noticing random dust particles underneath the screen. This is ridiculous.

I'd prefer not to return to the same store because it's only a matter of time before they start getting angry with me for turning all of their One X's into refurbs.

And how many will they allow me to exchange before they say enough is enough? I've gone through 6 monitors before due to dead/stuck pixels, and the new one still has some stuck pixels. I gave up since the new one is nearly perfect. It is my theory that *most* high resolution LCD monitors have at least one pixel defect, because I always seem to find them.

But back to the question... Can I exchange at another AT&T store to prevent angering the managers at the original store?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Teric:
yeah i dont have a dead pixle but my screen formed a small bubble then chiped off. really annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
And what happens if they don't have the phone in stock due to the customs delay? I have limited time to make this exchange so how does that work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Dunno but those are all very good questions. My screen isn't perfect but I'm not going to risk getting a worse one.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mosesman86:
You can exchange at any corporate owned store. If they are out of stock, have them notate your account that you were back within 30 days and have them call you once they are in stock.

EDIT: I worked at AT&T until a couple days ago... this is SOP for when a phone is out of stock and someone needs to do a DOA exchange.

I got mine at best buy mobile..for good insurance and buyback program...but I haven't had any pixel issues...maybe I was just lucky...vivid was flawless too..

So how was att to work for? I'm about to go to work for them...money sounds good but want to know from somebody who has worked there..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Probably like any other retail job. You have goals to meet and you do anything you need to to meet them. If you don't meet your goals you fix it or you're gone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
I'm on my third. First one had dust. Second one wouldn't charge or sync and now my third has the bottom of the screen light leak. Its like my phones smiles at me.

Got third one yesterday. Gonna call att tomorrow. I wonder if its a 25% chance for a good unit with this phone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mosesman86:
AT&T was a great company to work for. I just wanted to get out of the retail hours. I worked at a mall location, so I'd leave as late as 10:30 some nights. I have a 9 month old and a wife, so that was getting old.

But the benefits are really good... It's a union job, so health insurance is great once you've worked there for over 6 months. I'm talking $120/mo for two people (health, life, vision and dental) and a $500 out-of-pocket max for the year. Last year I made mid-40s, which for the work you do is good money. You just have to deal with quotas and customer surveys and a lame scheduling system. I never had to worry about hitting my targets. Just take care of the customer and focus on what would be best for them and your numbers will follow.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rauwoitorul:
Hi all,

Bucharest traffic is quite dangerous some times and my concern is that having a video withness, recording your way might be very usefull in case ****.

After I purchased my GN I decided to take also the original Samsung auto kitt (bit expensive.. :mad: ) and from here I was curious to see how this device can work as traffic camera.

I decided to use MyCar Recorder application from the market (still with bugs for GN :confused: ) and the results are visible here:

"removed link"

for day, and

"removed link"

for night.

At the end try search for "rauwoitorul" on youtube. There's no commercial, promisse.

I found it very usefull. Advantages?

1. I can play instantly the recorded scenes

2. send instantly the recorded scenes

3. multi tasking is working fine as I was able to use the camera in background while GPS trough Navigon was running and phone calls via bluetooth was on good quality.

All car build in electronic/orientation accessories don't offer to me so much mobility and compatibility like one in all device like GN.

Thus, I said bye bye to my dedicated traffic camera and hello to this fine utility of the GN
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
Curious, how much record time do you get? Granted, you use the phone for other things but I think you could find a cheaper and better device for this purpose.

Word of warning, stay out of Germany with your traffic cam. Them Germans sure don't like Google Streetview.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RikF:
Recording time is limited at the top end by your storage, but for things like this you're rarely interested in recording the whole journey. The idea is to have a recording of the moments before an accident - you can stop recording then, and as long as you have the things that caused the incident recorded, you're golden.

As far as your germany warning, how does that apply to recording your journey. Streetview is a) unrelated to your own recordings, unless you intend to publish them to the net, and b) legal in Germany. Many there opted to blur out their business or residence, causing google to voluntarily stop, but there was no legal issue with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rowee270:
I don't know how it compares, but I've been using Autoguard which works well on the Note. It records your speed, gps location and can show your movements on a map.

It also automatically runs in the background (paid version) as soon as you clip it into the charger. So you don't have to think about it and can still use the phone for any other tasks as it's recording.

I'm just waiting for an accident! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ywnmmsb:
How dangerous are things that you have to record every journey you take?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
S'funny!

I have probably driven many times what most people drive in their lives. I have had many 'interesting' and even dangerous journeys, from England to the very south of Spain, Italy, and from the south to the north of Australia and back on both coasts. I have driven in India and Viet Nam, and lived to tell the tale.

The most dangerous thing I have come across is fatigue, and that's a definite killer. The rest, just pay attention, man!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
That's very condescending of you. You can have an accident no matter how much attention you pay.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
Yeah, you might be paying attention, but not everyone else will. And it is simply not possible to anticipate or react to every situation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rauwoitorul:
Each software dedicated for traffic recording functions in a loop. In my setup I have alocated 1G from the SD card and at the end of it, the software overwrites old recordings.

Believe me, when a child is running in front of your car even at 40 km/h and you hurt him, you would like to have 2 things:

1. 1 good and reliable witness

2. a good lawyer - much better when point one is completed

With 1G and fine quality HD recording you will have at least last 30 min. of your trip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rauwoitorul:
MyCar Recorder is doing the same in regarding GPS, Speed and map location. I am not a fan of this or that software. It happened that this one ws first in the list, I tested it, is working nice for video quality so I am happy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Geekybiker:
Wish I had one a couple months back when some lady hit my car in an intersection. She lied about what happened of course and it turns into a he said/she said sort of thing. I'm out my deductible on insurance. A car recorder preventing this once will more than pay for itself. Besides if anything interesting ever happens on your drive you can always save it off too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I bet you find that recording video + GPS drains your battery faster than your car charger can recharge it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
That was the case on my Galaxy Tab, but on my Note however it stays at 100%. Using Autoguard for over 2 years. The best one out there and the developer is very responsive.

Using my Note in Samsung's original cradle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rauwoitorul:
This was a real surprise for me. By using the original Samsung car kitt I discovered that charging process is really efficient while forcing the phone to stay hardly in multitasking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iansnightout:
I rooted a while back and my wifi would no longer work. I'm trying to completely unroot my phone and revert to the stock firmware and I'm absolutely clueless about every single step. I'm new to Android (been an iPhone user for years) and this is confusing me.

I downloaded the zip file from galaxys2root site (can't post the link since I'm new) and I cant seem to unzip the file properly or find where it's unzipped to. Now, when I try to open Odin, it closes out immediately.

I'm completely lost. No questions are answered on that page and I need step by step instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Well of you'd looked around a little before posting, you would have seen that there is a step by step instruction thread. Go look in the development section stickies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iansnightout:
I actually looked around for several hours. I don't understand any of the technical jargon on this site whatsoever.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprovan1:
OK so I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I am running Aokp #5. I don't know much about Kernals, or the radios. Rite now I'm running stick on both I believe. So my question is (because I'm loosing signal a lot) what is the most current radio and what are some good Kernals for this phone/ Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Its kernels not kernals.

The most current radio is the 4.0.4 one. Kernel: Franco.

All of these could of been answered if you read and didn't ask before looking for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprovan1:
Thanks. Was just asking a simple question. I looked around and wanted an opinion. Thanks for the spell check. Have a good day man.

P.s I doesn't hurt to ask and doesn't hurt to answer a question. Next time when you feel like giving a douche bag answer remember just pass the question up man. Some people are new, some don't know. Some aren't as advanced as you with computer stuff and are learning a new way to improve their phones. Be civil dude
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
It*

jk I couldn't help myself.;) I am deff not the grammar expert either.

Just recently some people on VZW got the 4.0.4 update OTA and it includes new radios afaik. There is a thread or maybe two about signal improvements with these new radios. As far as the kernel, Franco is a popular choice. It has a control app in the Play Store. But there are several good ones and everybody likes something different, have a look at the feature list and see what you think.

I have the AT&T Htc One X in my hands, is there a Root method yet that I over looked. Is there anything I can do to help someone make a Root method?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
Read first as there is about 20+ threads already discussing it... the AT&T model has a locked bootloader, so that means no root or customs roms right now.

Thread closed.

[General Questions and Answers] rast4man:
I know this is an old ass thread but I just wanted to vent my frustration about what a total piece of **** this phone is. There is no development for it either because no one gives a damn about this phone. I think I'd be a little less angry if there were decent working ROM's out. (There ARE a few from the crew over at Area51 but I couldn't get a single one to work on my particular device, which sucks because they look hella' cool).

LG LGL45C...I'm LITERALLY going to smash it into a million pieces as soon as I get my Boost "donor" phone so I can flash my E4GT over to Boost Mobile. I'll make a video just for kicks. :)

Hi,

I have running at the same time gmail with google talk in browser and google talk on my mobile phone. And I've seen strange thing: one of my google talk contacts is sometimes online on android phone, but I can see her only in browser in gmail. I can't see her in my mobile client on my mobile neither if I open my google+ page (where she is also in my circles). The rest users from android and other devices I can see in gmail, g+ and my mobile device, but not her.

Anyone has any ideas why it's happening?

[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I found older threads with references to full 2.17 Firmware minus HBoot

like this http://dev-host.org/svsae25h2v0n/PG86IMG-2.17.651.5_Firmware_Only.zip

But it appears to not roll back.

My phone still says "Virgin Mobile" on lock screen.

Applying the 2.17 above seems successful but I don't think it is.

Is Freeza's patch forward only?

I also saw mixed messages of folks running with "Virgin Mobile" on their screen that said they never applied Freeza's patch.

Do all ICS Leaked ROM say Virgin Mobile or is this only in the Freeza Patch firmware.

Is there a FULL Stock ROM (minus HBOOT [I'm on 1.4 and want to stay there]) that can reset everything?

I'm confused.
[HTC EVO 3D] Largan:
Also want to know. I have been looking for a way back. my service isn't what it used to be. i have emailed some people for help to find a solution to this problem. There are cases where i cant get phone calls or text msgs and need to reboot my phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I think it's more than just the "Banner".

It's the firmware that went along with that Banner change we want to set back.

I think it's a license key thing and the old 2.17 will not flash back or flash over the patch.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I was thinking of that. Worried I might get myself in a deeper hole ;)

I'm 1.4 Hboot with S-OFF

What is the newest Sprint RUU that still had 1.4 Hboot?

There is 2.17, 2.08, and 1.13 RUU's

Is there such things as RUU's that are rooted?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] chadharrop:
Ass long as your s-off ruu is the way to go.I do it all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
As far as the latest ruu that has the 1.4 hboot I'm thinking anything under the 2.17 update. I know for a fact that 2.17 has the hboot1.5 however if you have rev-s-off you can still flash the 2.17 and flash the old h-boot.zip to get it back. Also no full factory ruu's are not rooted.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Neither VPN from Windows 7 through WIFI tether nor Creating a VPN Connection on the Phone will work.

I completely restored a prior Ginger Bread ROM that I know worked (backup made just before I applied the patch and installed ICS ROM) and no longer will connect since I applied that stupid Patch.

The Connection just fails.

Something is very wrong with that patch. There are credentials or something that are now wrong which is why not even the RUU will flash over it.

Firmware before 2.17 used to have the same issue and 2.17 fixed it. Now with the patch it's broken and basically I'm not getting 2.17 fully back on there.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
This might be hint.

I triggered a handfree activation.

Now I'm stuck on 1X.

I tried suggested fixed in Clean ROM ICS Thread for stuck on 1X and it did not work.

But VPN works.

But I think each speed 1x, 4G and 3G all connect over VPN differently.

4G used to always work but 3G failed. I think 1X might have always worked too.

But this Virgin thing is now blocking 3G.

I may have to call sprint
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Yea the banner doesn't do anything. There is an app I use to check grades (blackboard) and it only works with sprint service. It won't let me use it anymore..says I'm not a sprint user
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
an idea: (requires you are s-off)

*********DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFLASH HBOOT*********

step 1 - make note of EVERY firmware partition in the firmware zip you flashed

(adsp, radio, tz, etc..etc.)

step 2 - collect the files with the same name from the 2.17 RUU

if you can not find them all in the 2.17 ruu, make note of the ones you cant find in 2.17

step 3- to back ONE previous RUU and look for the files you could not find in 2.17 - repeat this until you have ALL your files...

when you are done, if freeza's zip had 8 files, you should now have 8 files

now from fastboot -

do a fastboot flash xxxxxx.img

for each and every one of the IMG files you collected from 2.17 and previous ruus

the order of this can be an issue, and you do this at your own risk.

the reason i say fastboot, is that if it fails, it "should" notify you. I do not know if you will be notified if bootloader flashes the pg86img.zip file for you when something fails, but you can try...

why older than 2.17

example: if adsp was not included in 2.17, but was in 2.08 - it was NOT updated when you went to 2.17, so its still @ 2.08... and if its on ur list, it means u updated it to the latest..

like i said 10+ times before

the ONLY firmware needed for linux 3 is adsp. BUT it is unknown if ADSP requires any of the others to be updated as well

EDIT:

on my engineering device, i did receive an OTA a few days prior to this leak

it consisted of some firmware updates

the files i received DID match the files in freeza's zip when i did a MD5 compare (except hboot, my hboot was uppdated to 1.58.0001 ENG)

but the zip from the leak DID CONTAIN ADDITIONAL files that were not pushed to my phone - its prolly one of these additional files that is causing the issue.

more info...

visual example:

in the image below is a list of files from the 1st released of firmware

so if rfg_1.img was not found in 2.17, it was not updated in 2.17, so check 2.08 - if its there, is it from there,if its not

go back 1 more version
