Hi! I really think i did a full wipe before flashing (tried twice) but the system never rebooted. The glowing bootup cross logo was on for maybe 15-20 minutes and then i gave up. How long should first system boot take? Then i tried again, finally rached sim code prompting, but only for a second, then new screen "unlocking your sim card and setting up your phone". I am stuck in a loop. Same with a differrent sim card. Googling, I realsie this is a known issue. But ABL(e) v2 works perfectly well.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] acedexplorerABL:
You are running a locked sim card? :/ yeah thats known....

try unlocking it... i guess it worked.

Try one thing with the unlocked sim card.

just flash the rom.... nothing else.

when you are successfully at the launcher, then flash the theme and font fix.

first boot should take 10 mins MAX..

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] harshal.n.karandikar:
I had installed it and have 2 questions about this rom

1. The Android version shows as 4.0 is it really based on ice cream sandwich and

2. Is there any way I can install the HTC clock and weather widget?

Also one thing I found out is after taking a pic from cam to see the preview of the pic in ma previous rom I could click on the left hand corner small box while the cam is running to see the preview but in v3 that's not happening, but any way to make it happen? I believe the cam is not linked with the Gallery can you please solve it ill be more than happy as I use the camera a lot and need to see previews coz currently every time I take a pic I have to go back to gallery to check it... Help please ever?

Rest of the rom is Awsome even when compared to jaggy

just wondering if anyone knows of any cases with an extended battery built in. i like the battery life but im still worried that its going to die on me when i really need it sometime.

[HTC One S] MadJoe:
I got a power skin for my Vibrant back in the day, and it was hideous. And barely charged it 60%, so I felt it was a waste of money.
[HTC One S] stumpyz9:
there not supposed to charge it completely, its supposed to be like an extended battery. and of course, its gunna be huge. but im still not sure about buying one anyways. my phones been on for like 10hrs with 1-1/2hrs screen on time and still at 85% battery
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
For the added bulk, the lint the case attracted while in my pocket, not to mention it made it hard to get in and out of my pocket, and the cost, nothing less than a full charge would have been worth it. It sucked.

I had a power skin for my Sensation. I loved it. Battery life was amazing. And it didn't look bad either with all the added bulk.

How else do you expect the power from the case to get into the phone?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
For the money, I expect them to use a lower profile connector. It shouldn't stick out that far.
[HTC One S] Patiktik:
POGO Pins!!!

How about a case this that uses pogo pins?

- 3200mAH and no bulging nubs on the sides. What's best? You can use the MHL connector. Extended battery while using the HDMI connector. Nothing beats that. Period. :cool:

As cool as that is, it still doesn't protect the phone. It definitely looks better than the PowerSkin, though.

Now how will that work if we dont have pogo pins and that isnt designed for the one s
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
The last couple weeks my phone has started to do this weird thing it has never done before. I plug my Vibrant into my car's head unit using a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch audio patch cable. Whenever I remove the plug from the phone, the slider for "Media Volume" is overlayed on the screen and quickly drops to '0'. I have to pull up my mixer every time I get in the car and bring the slider back up to '15'.

I've had similar issues with the phone in the past, where plugging in will automatically start the music app, but there are several headset blocker apps that work fine and prevent that. These apps have no impact on the present issue, though. Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambastrakan:
Hello,

Atrix is available in France for 287 euros and I'm thinking it's a very good price/perf ratio.

But having a look on the threads some criticals aspects appears like heat, android GB2.3.4 only, and high brick risk when modding ?

So I'd like to have some atrix users opinions/comments ... :)

I like the HTC sensation XE too but for now it continues at 450 euros ...

Other phones are good but with some criticals "deffects" like : non removable battery, no sdcard, etc ... so it's not easy to make a choice ...

Thanks in advance !

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
If you have large hands, then the Atrix will feel like holding a toy. If I were you, I'd wait for a better phone or save that money for something better. Personally, I don't think this phone is worth anything at this point. There's a high chance that the digitizer will break on you. This is my third Atrix and my last two had problems with the digitizer. I personally can't wait for my contract to end so I can get the SGS3 and never come back to Motorola again, ever.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambastrakan:

I will think about that ...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJPollard:
Keep this in mind also: if this phone were really as bad as some people make it sound, these forums would be absolutely flooded with complaints. The fact that this is not the case should tell you that the Atrix is, overall, a very good, solid, reliable phone. I wouldn't have stuck with mine for so long if it were the flaky, unreliable mess that some people imply that it is.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
With motorola's latest move - id caution against getting an Atrix (even though I've owned one for over a year and loved it!) Motorola is now making the Atrix to where you cannot flash .sbf files. This means no unlocking of the bootloader... no re-flashing an .sbf file if you screw something up and need to completely wipe things out and start fresh again (above and beyond a factory reset) You may be better off with an Atrix 2 or something else that's similar.... I hate giving this type of advice.... But, I'd hate to see you pick on up thats locked down tighter than a nun!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urphonesux:
The Bionic doesnt use sbf's either. We use FXz which is basically the same thing
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GonziHere:
I actually bought one 7 days ago. I had hard time unlocking it, but It worked and I have custom bootloader and neutrino rom. That being said - out of the box, there was motoblur (which I find heavily anoying) and it was considerably slower. Now I can easily compare power with my friend, which has stock Galaxy S II, but I paid almost half his price.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wreaks:
you can do everything that needs to be done with fastboot, there is no need to use .sbfs / rsd support protocol, reflashing .sbfs to atrix has been discouraged for over a year now, due to being many problems that can occur in the flash process.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:

thanks !! :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
There are still times when sbf's are necessary - the only reason they were cautioned against is because so many ppl failed to follow directions properly and borked their devices... mainly flashing froyo sbfs over gingerbread.... to those who know what they're doing with sbf's its not a problem. Without sbf capability - you cant unlock the bootloader.... no custom roms.... period.... except a pseudo rom.... which isnt a true ROM.... more like a theme...

Hi everybody,

I just bought an HTC One X two days ago, which is a wonderfull device, but I have an issue ...

I'm syncing my contacts/mail/calendar with an Exchange server (I don't think it is related, but I prefer to tell), which downloads the contact pictures correctly. But they are of low resolution and poor quality. I go to edit the contact, I browse the gallery to 700x700 picture, choose it, and save the contact, but picture quality remains unchanged ... As if it was downsizing it and lot of jpeg artefacts on compression ...

Do you have the same issue and do you have some solutions ?

Thanks !

[HTC One X] Neo XL:
I´ve created a folder in DCIM, called it contact pics and transfered all my contact pics to there. After this i´ve reworked the contact informations, that they take the pics out of this folder. Now i have always clean and sharp pics. They weren´t synced btw. changed by Google. Titanium backup restores this path after installing a new rom.
[HTC One X] sierramike:
How did you do that ? I don't find this in the contacts parameters, where do you tell it the folder where it should search for the contacts pics ?

(I'm actually thinking this could be related to the 256x256 contacts picture size hardcoded in android ...)
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
It is. Whenever your contacts sync with Google they are resized and synced back to your device.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
yea but he's syncing with Exchange not Google
[HTC One X] sierramike:
Exactly, I'm syncing with Exchange, and I suspect Exchange uses even a poorer resolution ...

I remember on my HD2, the picture quality from Exchange was poor, but I just had to set a higher resolution picture on the contact on the phone and it remained ok. Seems Android doesn't manage this correctly ...

I'm actually searching a way to root my One X without loosing data (The HTC Dev way tells me every personnal data on the phone will be lost), I read somewhere there could be a way to change this 256 pixels limitation when rooted, am I right ?
[HTC One X] Neo XL:
I´ve choosed rework in contacts, then click on the little upper photo and choose albums and the file in the created folder on my sd card. After this i had always clean & sharp contact pics.
[HTC One X] darthmelk:
So what you're saying here is that you copy all the pictures to the phone memory, then go into each contact manually and assign a picture? I really can't be bothered doing this for 130+ contacts, and not be able to sync it with e.g. Outlook to keep a backup.

It there would be an app to do this automatically, given the photo file name is the same as the contact name - that would be useful indeed.
[HTC One X] abo_mara7:
Looking for a solution also. Maybe contacts.apk need to be modified to change picture resolution for contacts.
[HTC One X] zerozoneice:
the solution is in Google's hands which doesn't seem to give a **** for YEARS now.

latest thread on the saga is here:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/109941711245243963357/posts/YBMTuysqm3B

they eventually gave up after some indians working for Google teased everyone with a solution, they shut up for the next 5 months...typical.

it's ****ing pathetic, everyone should flood Rubin's and all executives accounts with this issue.

long story short: ICS supports 256x256 contacts image size (up from 96x96) but Google Mail doesn't.

that's why our contact pictures once sync-ed with Gmail look like ****. Even the iPhone is affected by this....if you sync it with Google Mail.

they don't consider it a top priority, otherwise it would've been fixed like this:

[HTC One X] Neo XL:
I´ve done this one time and sync always with google without loosing the sharpened pics. After flashing a new rom i restore the contacts data (not the app) with Titanium; no problems since then.

[HTC One X] desiregeek:
I have the same problem on my HTC One XL which I just bought in Hong Kong. Images of all my contacts in the contacts list look fuzzy and blurry. I am not using Google or Facebook Sync either. I also noticed that all other pictures taken with this phone look good initially on screen but once one zooms in the shi* hits the fan!
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
Anyone know if this is possible after rooting?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Tried Haxsync....tried Friendcaster Pro.... Nothing solves the low res pic problem....
[HTC One X] Joolee:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.contactphotosupdater&hl=nl

The paid version does exactly this. It stores the contact [ictures on the SD card so you can simply sync your contacts back from GMail after a reinstall.
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
I stopped by one of their main shops here in Taipei and complained to them about this problem. They told me that they would look into it and get back with me. The more that complain the higher the chances of them trying to fix this issue. If no one complains or two few complain then they just turn a blind eye to it (part of the local Chinese tradition here in Taiwan). There is Computex Show here in Taiwan that starts tomorrow. I will stop by their booth and complain to them tomorrow.
[HTC One X] Giovannilamarmora:
use haxsync
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
What if you don't want to sync all your provide info online with Facebook and Gmail? Why can't one just place their contact info on their phone with a proper picture that is not fuzzy and grainy looking:confused:
[HTC One X] darthmelk:
There are two problems here:

1. Google are idiots for using 64x64 or similar quality photos for contacts in Gmail.

2. HTC are idiots and Sense will use contact pictures with this priority: Facebook, Gmail, Phone, dismissing your picture source option. (this is an old problem)

I know you could go into a contact and select the Phone picture instead of Facebook or Google, but after a while - if the contact is linked with FB and G - the picture will go back to FB or G, forgetting your option. While this is not a big problem with Facebook, because the contact picture resolution is bearable, if one contact is only linked Phone+Google, the picture will look very bad.

So what I did was delete my Google account completely, add it back, and quickly stop the Google contact sync. Now I have 0 Google contacts, and only use Phone + Facebook. For the Phone contacts, I use Outlook 2010 (where you can easily add hi-res pictures) + HTC Sync.

Of course, if a Facebook friend didn't add his/her profile photo, after a while you'll get a blank contact pic in the People app on the phone, but that's just HTC being stupid and ignoring the option to keep Phone photo.

Just avoid having ANY Google contacts on the phone if you need higher-res pictures.
[HTC One X] fiendmish:
Google + images are high res

In order to try and get around this issue i cancelled the sync with google contacts and started syncing with my icloud contacts again. Even without the gmail sync dropping images to a lower res again the standard people app seems to butcher the quality of images assigned to contacts.

What i have noticed though is that any contacts i have who are on Google + now have very high res images both in thumbnail and in the zoomed image when you open the contact.

Nice, but only 8 people i know are on + :)

Update: Ok, so icloud limits image size to 224k so that may be adding to my issues :(
[HTC One X] mathrania:
i never sync my contacts with Google.... only with FB... still the images are Low-res .:(
[HTC One X] TJK99:
I use HD Caller ID for this, its best. I converted this to system app so that it doesnt close if task manager is run...
[HTC One X] Quiksilver78:
It's HTC at fault here (and Google as well, I guess)

Apps like Haxsync and Facebook contact Sync actually do the job that Google messed up on BUT HTC's Sense interface seemingly does not update your contact's pic to the highest available resolution.

If you use one of the apps listed above, you need to manually update each contact's high-res photo by editing each contact and change the pic to that of Haxsync or Facebook contact Sync.

I'm using a AOKP ROM from TripNDroid and do not have this issue with my contacts sync'd with Facebook contact Sync.
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
You are basically syncing with Facebook then. I sync with neither Facebook,Gmail or Google+ and all pictures in contacts are blurry. What ever happened to just entering a contact to the smartphone without needing to sync and use lower grade image resolutions :confused:
[HTC One X] darthmelk:
All my contacts have photos in their "phone" version (synced with Outlook 2010 - older versions use low-res pics), and maybe half of them take the picture from Facebook (lower res than "phone", but better than Gmail).

Even if you don't sync Google contacts anymore, make sure you don't have any in your phone right now. If you did a sync when you first configured the phone, those contacts will be there even if you stopped it now, and the linked contacts will prefer the Gmail pic. That's why I had to delete my Google account / reconfigure - to get rid of those.

It's been like this on the Desire / Desire Z, I lost my hope of HTC doing something about it.
[HTC One X] mathrania:
As soon as i flash a new ROM after a full wipe/or new phone setup ... I enter into settings>Accounts & sync>Google> disable the Contacts sync... before it even starts syncing them :)
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
If you delete your Google account don't you also lose all your applications as well that you already paid for and downloaded? You also can not use same account again so you will lose that email address.
[HTC One X] mathrania:
No you wont... because i use some Google account to install the paid apps on my wife's HTC ONE X and then delete the account from her mobile :)
[HTC One X] darthmelk:
No, you don't have to actually delete your Google account completely. :)

Just remove it from Accounts and Sync, then add it back and quickly stop the Contacts sync.
[HTC One X] desiregeek:
How are you removing it from accounts and sync on your smartphone? On top I see + Add and Sync all next to it. Below i see manage accounts with a sync next to each one. There is nothing there to remove/delete one individually.

[HTC One X] darthmelk:
Of course - you have to tap Google, then remove. ;) I think this only works in ICS, for older phones you're not allowed to remove the google account without a Factory reset.

After you add it back, you'll have to run one each Google app (Gmail, Reader, Maps etc.) to log in again.
