carrier

carrier choice

i hate the american versions because it doesnt look as clean but the search button is useful

i will never buy a samsung device in the US until one of them includes an exynos processor...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKnitty:
Bcuz the processor is a few ms faster but I have a bigger screen is fine with me... I have a laptop, desktop for the major work...

Live a lil
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajunflavoredbob:
They would be in even more trouble with Apple if they left the home button as is on the US models. Secondly, the US models need to include LTE radios which the Exynos CPU cannot yet handle. I've used both variants. Unless you are a serious mobile gamer, there is not really any real world difference between the two.

Also, on the home button, carriers dictate the designs and specs in the US. That's why you see slight variations even between US carriers.

Usually I can hit the power button to bring the screen back but sometimes it won't happen, like just now I hit the call button then realized I didn't want to talk, so I hit the power button and nothing happens and I can hear the phone ringing and i'm left I

With the only option to huff the phone at the wall in frustration(come on, you know a cell phone has given you that impulse before) and then the person answers and I gotta tell them in my rage, "look I really didn't want to talk to you but my phone decided otherwise, so sorry bye". Someone please help before I destroy my phone then bomb T-Mobile HQ or Samsung, whoever is responsible. Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robandcathy:
are you rooted are you using a costume rom? you need to give a bit more info here, if you want help. Next post try saying Im rooted using XXX rom, have flashed before and all was well and have cmw installed or any variation above that might apply, at this point I think you are stock which I would seek warrenty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Oh sorry, maybe I should put that info in my sig or something. I've got bombardier, not sure which version but it's old since I never kept up on updates. So maybe I should be posting this in that sub forum? I wasn't sure if it was a ROM issue. Mind you this issue isn't consistent, and sometimes it seems to just take too long, like this case after the person picked up the phone, before bring the screen back, and that the system is lagging maybe(?). I don't know but it happens enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
That rom isn't being developed anymore, it's been long forgotten and the dev got a new device. Have you ever wiped cache/dalvik cache? fix permissions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Not regularly. Perhaps I'll give that a shot and if no luck maybe it's time to find a new ROM. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] techfanatic9:
Try megamix?

If you are looking for a new rom, I would recommend you looking a megamix, it's has the ICS port too. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Oh cool, thanks. Didn't know ICS was ported already

. Awesone
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wardfan220:
I have a G Tab given to me by my employer that has a program that takes over the lockscreen and basically locks the device so I can only do a couple of things. It's a homescreen app that you need a password to get out of. Is there a way to bypass that without wrecking or rooting it so I can just re-enable the locking program if I have to turn it in for work or updates?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Sony Tablet S] Dr.Dimes:
Hello everyone,

I have a german version of the Tablet and changed with the AIO tool the Region to get the ICS.

My Problem now is that the Remotecontroll App in the ICS-US version has less compatible Hardware supports than the german one.

Have anybody deodexed the Roms or can upload the german control app?

I'm sorry for my bad taped english but every day it goes better :)
[Sony Tablet S] paulus3476:
On a similar note, I would like the remote .apk to try on my galaxy tab 7plus as it seems to have better device support than our stock app. If someone who has root and backed up their apps would be generous enough to post it somewhere, I think there would be a lot of happy galaxy tab users. many thanks. Paul
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
I dint know tht galaxy had infrared port like tablet s for the remote feature to work:confused:

There is one app in the market called media remote you can download tht on ur galaxy tab

But the inbuilt remote feature of tablet s and the remote.apk is only for tablet s and dosent work for other tablets witjout infrared port

Thanks! Now to get to work on how to get it to install on the galaxy tab 7.0 plus.
[Sony Tablet S] Dr.Dimes:
Can anyone do the same with the german ir remote apk version so they can take more supported devices back for the ics Us version?
[Sony Tablet S] kking711:
sony remote apk on samsung galaxy tab 2

Any luck with getting the sony remote app to work on the samsung galaxy tab 2? I have one as well and hate the remote app that comes with it. I downloaded the files listed above but the install fails. I have the settings set to allow installs from unknown sources so that shouldn't be the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
if u have root, manually place the files in the apps directory (/system/apps/) using root explorer (available in market). Call them irremote.apk and irremoteservice.apk Set permissions to rw-r--r--
[Sony Tablet S] kking711:
Any way without root?
[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
Not that i know of.... :) use condis aio tool to root it!
[Sony Tablet S] CinqUK:
HI

I've got a similar issue to the OP... stuck on official US (Not rooted) with a UK tablet and would like the apk with UK device list so I can easily add sky box etc... Anybody able to provide apk or way round to enable uk devices on us app?
[Sony Tablet S] jcabad:
the links are dead. Would it be possible to reupload them?
[Sony Tablet S] rainbow2112:
YES; someone might reupload the 2 file? Link mediafire is dead, please.

THANKS!!

Great stuff Moped_Ryder, Bravo....

Great stuff Moped_Ryder, Bravo....

We need more stuff like this from this community, perhaps we will eventually unravel the GPS issue with the 2.3 - 4.0 roms.

Thanks for your continued support!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Adding haptic feedback, feel free to add it to the OP if you'd like:

The changes are enormous so this will be a copy and paste.

I have attached the files needed to this post.

1. Create a new folder on your desktop called whatever you like as a clean environment to work in.

2. Download and extract the 2 attachments to this new folder.

3. Locate the android.policy.jar from the ROM you want to add feedback to and bring it into the folder with the 2 files you extracted in step 2.

4. [I use 7zip so that is what the instructions will assume that you are using]

Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive. [open only, not extract]

5. Drag classes.dex out of the open 7zip window and into the folder with everything else.

6. Now double click on baksmali.bat and you will read then hit the space bar - then read and hit the space bar again.

7. Right click and copy the PhoneWindowManager.smali that you extracted to this folder in step 2.

8. Now navigate to AutoBakSmali_Out/com/android/internal/policy/impl .

Once here, right click in the window and choose paste - choosing yes to overwrite.

9. Now back out of this until you see the com folder - right click on the com folder and choose cut.

Back out one more step and then go into AutoSmali_In and and right click and paste.

10. Now double click smali.bat, read and wait and space bar out when it says to.

11. Step 10 created AutoSmali_Out.dex. Delete your original classes.dex and rename the new AutoSmali_Out.dex to classes.dex.

12. Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive.

13. Drag the new classes.dex into the open 7zip window - hit yes - close the 7zip window

14. You have now added haptic feedback to your ROM!

From here you can use your favorite method to load the android.policy.jar.

Add it to a new rom, adb it in, use root explorer to put it in place, whatever!
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Big thanks Jellette - Always great to have guidance from a acknowledged developer.

I updated my OP to point to your post.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moped_Ryder:
Jellette,

Wasn't cmenard on your EDT team? He was the only one who made a Vibrant GB kernel that GPS worked with (Bullet). Any clue how he did it?

I rolled many a linux kernels in my day, but never a android one. Heck Id even set out how to roll one if I knew how to get the GPS to work.

cmenard github was no real help. Nothing in it that I or others could see that showed how he did it.
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Woo!

Thanks for this!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Yes he was, Roman has a post out there about the init changes needed to get gps working.

Since upgrading to Team Eos ICS 2.0 I can't open any saved pages in my browser.

I have tried the stock browser plus the ICS + and Quick ICS and although I can save pages on all three browsers, whenever I try and open any saved pages the screen goes black and the browser freezes.

This feature worked OK on EOS 1.0.

Same here with wingray 90
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesmorton:
Seems like there is a temporary solution - I read that someone elsewhere was having a similar problem on an Asus Transformer and he overcame it by using the Opera Mobile web browser (as it can use Flash?)

[HTC Sensation] raddy:
Hello everybody

I am using ordroid 5.0 Rom in my HTC sensation mobile phone.

I am experiencing a major calling related problem.

Sometimes the other person hardly hear what I speak, sometimes like muted.

Sometimes it would become better if I change position.

But I am able to always hear what the other person says.

We have two mobile phones using same operator in home , but only in my mobile phone I am experiencing this problem, the other one being Samsung focus mobile phone whicih doesn't have this problem.
[HTC Sensation] You_got_owned123:
I'm running OrDorid 5.0 as well. I don't have that problem. Possibly wipe and re-flash the ROM? Could possibly be a mic defect.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Change roms if that big of a problem
[HTC Sensation] raddy:
Actually i am not blaming the rom at all for this problem.

I am suspecting the radio / firmware or operator to be the culprit.

Can people who don't have such problem in OrDroid post their Firmware / Radio versions ?

Technically it would work getting it.activated might be an issue but there are ways around that.......Google is your friend.

[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
How do the data arrows work??
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
When they aren't lit, no packet transfers are occurring.

When the up arrow is lit, the device is sending data i.e. uploading a photo or is requesting information. When the down arrow is lit, the device is downloading a file and or various packets i.e. refreshing your Gmail account and new messages being retrieved.

Hope that helped :)
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
i mean like what in the system controls them? like for example in sense 4 roms data arrows dont work, but in sense 3.6 rom they work. Why is this?
[HTC Rezound] jscarano:
Could be kernel I think.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
It's in the systemui.apk I believe

It would take some small hacks to get it working I think
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Firmware/framework issue. They would need the proper/updated firmware to make those work. But since we officially don't have a sense 4 base, don't count on seeing them light up.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
The data arrows are controlled by part of the kernel and the images are in systemui.apk. The kernel sends the event(I don't remember the name) and SystemUI calls the appropriate images.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lars2009:
OK, I have what looks like a Serious problem. My Volume Down key doesn't work but up until about 20 minutes ago it really didn't matter that much. Well now after flashing a new rom, my phone just sits at the splash screen and won't boot. Normally I would just boot into recovery and try again, but with no Volume Down key how do I get into Recovery? I sure hope someone out there has the answer because I am starting to panic.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exemp30:

[G2 and Desire Z General] tinye99:
so i just got a g2 that has had the screenrplaced and is on android version 2.3.4 and the sdcard says sdcard blank or unsupported filesystem i have formated te card in computer but wont format in phone help needed
[G2 and Desire Z General] SlimeYKW:
It has to be formatted FAT32 I believe. You could have a bad SD card. Have you tried another SD card to make sure that it is indeed the phone and not the card?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cybot_x1024:
I have the same problem. Tried with multiple cards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
What brand/size/type is the card? Is it SD or SDHC? The G2/DZ won't support SDXC cards (i.e.; >32GB), if you got an SDXC card it won't be supported.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tornadobarrage:
I have bought the case a couple of days ago and was wondering if there is a easier way to open the case and does anyone open the case to replace the battery like me?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
Dude that case is definitely a beast. On nine the whole penny thing doesn't work all that well. I end up using a flathead screwdriver instead. Also now I just use my battery pack. I charge it on the go. Waaaaay easier than having something to pry it open with.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
When your holding the phone in your hand lookin at it upright theres a little nitch on the BOTTKM LEFT SIDE of the case. Take either a dime or your finger nail to to pry it open from there. Thats how i always got mine off. I think theres also youtube videos
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saintforlife:
The only previous Android phone I've had experience with was the Samsung Captivate and it had a horrible GPS. It had a hard time finding its own location and kept jumping all over the place. I absolutely hated it. Since then I've only used the iPhone, and the GPS and Google Maps implementation on the iPhone is top notch and it is very important to me personally because it is one of the apps I use most often on my phone. I absolutely love how Apple made the Maps interface so easy to search for things around you and get directions quickly.

So how does GPS + Google Maps on the HTC One X compare with iOS? Can you do everything that you do using the maps application on the iPhone as intuitively and quickly on the One X?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KitF:
Google Maps on the One X is way better.

The Captivate had a hardware design flaw preventing GPS from working at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
Definitely better. For starters there's a compass...As far as acquisition time, it's about the same (if not better) and on par with most better Android devices I've seen. It starts by using the internet (IP to geo) and then kicks on the actual GPS and acquires a more accurate lock pretty quickly (in a pretty efficient way mind you, if you go to settings > power and tap the graph you'll see the GPS usage and it should be pretty low, but might vary depending on your settings).

It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus may have (and should have) a faster lock time due to it's barometer sensor. However it's still quite acceptable in my experience with the One X.

Indoors right now it took about 5 seconds to give me a rough location (about 4 blocks away) and then about 10 seconds later it gave me an accurate location (you could see the GPS icon kick on while it did this).

Keep in mind this is a fresh start of Google maps. If it had been running in the background it would lock faster and of course the accuracy is good and if you're using it to navigate and such it's great (it's typically better than your average car GPS and I use it ALL the time for driving directions - it will speak to you).

Google maps is always hands down better on Android than iPhone because Google holds back with features on the iPhone. They want to save the best for their own devices of course. :)

Which is likely part of why Apple is doing their own map app...but I wonder just how successful they will be with that...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
Google offers its own free Navigation app ONLY for Android. You don't have it with iPhone or any other platform. Also, Gmap is now vector drawing on Android and 3D landmark as well on Android. I don't think these features ever offered on other platforms.

The GPS hardware on OneX is perfect. I've been using this everyday. The accuracy goes down to 9 feet and hold steady. It is even better than my Galaxy S2 which has a SiRFStar chip.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DukeL:
I love android but I've yet to see one that locks on as fast as the iPhone 4s. I'm using the Galaxy Nexus now and it is nowhere near as fast to lock on to my pinpoint location as my iPhone 4S. I'm not a fanboy either way but give credit where credit is due. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
But you still have to pay for a Navigation software. I don't care how fast it can lock me in my current location (typically < 10 seconds for me in Android). I want a usable turn by turn navigation software for free. That's the most important reason why I use Android.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdotkdot:
+1

That being said, location locks fast as any other phone I've used as well
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
impossible. the iphone 4s does not have a barometer like the galaxy nexus does.

the iphone is actually quite bad with gps. it's always inaccurate. yes, i'm staring at an iphone right now.

edit-- it is possible that one phone outperforms another from time to time...but let's say "on average" x is better than y.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ytwytw:
From hardware site, 4s and HOX have almost the same GPS hardware ( USA GPS and Russian GPS) so the performance are the same

From software site, it depends your habits
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SEscobedo:
I can't say for everybody else but I am an avid Apple iPhone person. I've had every iPhone version created and in some cases, bought both black and white. I buy, repair and sell Apple devices as a part time side job so that should say how much I like them.

Now saying that, I love Google Maps + Navigation on the HTC One X!!! It's more intuitive, spot on accuracy and the GUI is so much more implemented in the One X. The navigation is built into the Google Maps so you don't have to download and use a 3rd party navigation software. Also when you get to the location, it shows you a picture of the building you are navigating towards. In my opinion, Maps is one of the best parts about this phone.

Now to play devil's advocate, I will say the battery aspect of this phone is not as good as my iPhone 4S was. But I am experimenting with Auto TaskKiller Pro and I think that might have squashed that complaint (more time to experiment needed).

The other thing I love about the phone is the Gorilla Glass 2. I haven't tested it's anti-scratch ability (and hopefully don't ever have to) but it's ability to resist oil is freakin amazing! With my iPhone 4S, I was always having to wipe my screen with a towel to get the grease of my finger off the screen. With the One X, there's still a little bit of grease that has to be wiped off but not near as much as the iPhone 4S. And when you wipe it off, it actually comes off. You don't have to keep rubbing it to get it to come off.

Ok that's my thoughts on the phone so far. Personally, I came into this phone expecting to take it back before the 30 day return policy was up. But I'm walking away as an extremely impressed HTC One X owner.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] buddy17:
Google Maps is the most underrated app for finding phone numbers, addresses, websites, and obviously directions. I also use it probably more than any other app, and am always telling other people to use it more frequently.

Coming from an iphone 3G, Captivate, and Inspire 4G, I know what crappy GPS signal is like. The ihpone would get a lock after 2-3 minutes, but the Captivate and Inspire would never get a lock. I hated it.

With the One X, I am blown away by the quickness of the lock (4-5 seconds from a cold startup) and the accuracy. It gets down to 2-3 meters, and the compass is dead on. Could not be any better, IMO.

On another note, I miss the days of everyone talking about the Captivates GPS not working because people were indoors. I tried it out in the first level of my 2 story apt building, and got a lock in 5 seconds accurate to 10 meters.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

and also to add....Android's Google Maps app is MILES ahead of the iphones. It's no wonder why apple is replacing it with their own app
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] austin4913:
I too have good experience w Google maps..locks on fast...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dale_cooper:
Other people have already said similar things....

Every other phone I've ever had had a slow GPS lock, I would end up turning off the GPS because because it chewed battery constnatly searching for a lock.

The one x IS INCREDIBLY fast... holy cow, a gps works like it should - it locked on to me within 5 seconds and I was driving on the highway. As mentioned, the hardware has GLONASS so its using russian satellites as well...

The GPS lock isn't just nice for google maps, any other app which looks for a location is greatly benefited because you're not sitting there waiting for a location.

I gotta say - the GPS working awesome is one of my favorite features.
