[Desire General] TVTV:
TheTenth, thank you for your reply. Upon reading it, i realized that you might be right. After reading the first post, i was under the impression that the OP has recently installed clockworkmod himself, thus making the arguments in my previous post valid. But indeed, clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 appears to be "bundled" with Unrevoked v3.1, so the phone might have been rooted in the past by Unrevoked, but never S-OFFed. Well, that's a bad situation for the OP, then, because again, i can't think of another way to gain S-OFF than via USB.
[Desire General] muellersmattes:
If there's a custom recovery, one should be able to flash a custom rom - I have never heard of roms that require S-OFF to work. There are, however, some roms that require a certain hboot, and for changing that s-off is required. But flashing an ICS rom should work with the stock hboot - in fact, Sandvold's builds seem to work best on stock hboot. So no need to s-off for now, except that you are stuck on your old recovery (which hopefully should also be able to handle touch input in aroma installer).
[Desire General] stephendt0:
Ah great! Yes, I couldn't care if the recovery is not touch operatable, as long as it works! Will try Sandvold's ROM soon :) I thought you needed S-OFF to run ICS ROMS for some reason. Thanks!

Root access read and write works fine, HBOOT reads FASTBOOT. So it looks like I do have S-OFF, but my HBOOT is reporting that incorrectly? :S

Either way, i'll try a new ROM and let you know how it goes.
[Desire General] TVTV:
So the USB port really is shot. :( Well, that's a shame, but if you can WRITE to the /system partition while Android is booted, then you're S-OFF via Unrevoked Forever and a working USB port is not needed anymore, as you can flash bootloaders from the USB card (if needed).

For wireless file transfers, do try Airdroid. It's free and, furthermore, GREAT! :)
[Desire General] stephendt0:
UPDATE: So I just installed Sanvold's ICS ROM, no worries, running smooth :) Now that I understand more about hboots I realise the stock hboot is fine, and USB is not necessary anymore.

Yeah, Airdroid rocks! Been using it for a while now, very useful if you have no reception in your room but you can SMS if you put your phone near a window or something :D
[General Questions and Answers] stkiswr:
I hope this is in the correct forum and if not I apologize. Now, I am on verizon w a razr maxx. My wife is on sprint w a gs2. She loves her phone and hates her service. I would like to get her phone on verizon. Before you lock this and complain please read. I have done a lot of reading regarding this. Apparently a website offers the ability to flash her phone to verizon prepaid. Its instructions include purchasing a phone from walmart and they move the ran over to your phone and bam...you have verizon prepaid.

With all the talk of esn cloning...which this is what this is...clearly its more open than I thought.

That brings me to my point, it makes sense to think I could find a DROID 1 that's clean and do some esn moving to show the epic as a functional DROID. No 4g. Don't care. Does anyone have experience w this?

I'd like to keep this a civil conversation and must point out that there are countless thread about flashing phones to cricket and boost and that I would enjoy talking about the option to flash to verizon without being yelled at as it is the same conversation people have regularly about going to other carriers.

Thank you for any input.

[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Is there still no hope for my bricked tablet?

If everyone is using condi's tool to get access to the ICS update, then there will be no zip file for me to flash so my tablet can't be fixed?

I'm running a UK device and am in the UK.
[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
Condi's tool doesn't make impossible for an UK user to save the newly received UK's update somewhere before modding it and give you an access to that somewhere...

Just wait for the update, again and again (and again).
[Sony Tablet S] earni:
Condis tool worked fine for me and mine is a UK tablet and I am in UK. How did you brick it?
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
Try giving your tablet to service center they will rectify it....i had got mine updated to official usa ics firmware and losr 3g so I gave my tablet to service people they downgraded my tablet to 3.2hc and gave my tablet within 2days......

Ie if u cant wait for a fix or having a dead tablet beside you the above idea works good
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
It would cost me £70 to get it repaired.

I tried to add init.d support but set the incorrect permissions, I don't have ADB access.

I got so fed up with not having the tablet, that I went out and bought the Samsung Galaxy 7+. Alot better I must admit, but I still don't want a 349£ paperweight on the end of my bed.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
If ICS is due out on the 31st for Europe, can someone get the Zip for me please in the UK?

My device has been bricked since early February now.
[Sony Tablet S] yohandesilva1:
I want the same file. If I get it Ill upload it for you :)
[Sony Tablet S] yohandesilva1:
Can anyone post this? A full Zip not the OTA file
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
For the last couple of years I've held in my hand an HTC device. I became very familiar with their S-OFF procedures and I am just curious what things are like for Motorola users. I know I should probably search, but I'd like some opinions rather than guides. How is Moto's bootloader unlocking different than HTC? Does Moto have an unlock tool like HTC's halfa** tool? Anyone else here move from HTC, is it worth it?

I'm picking one up later today on craigslist so I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. Currently, I've got an EVO 3D.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
I moved to the photon from an EVO 3D as well. I always used HTC phones going as far back as the HTC Mogul. I actually prefer Blur over Sense. There is a ton of little things about this phone that make it better, in my eyes mind you, than the 3D.

I've honestly never even thought about going back to an HTC. That is until now. With the evo lte coming out its provoking the need for a new toy.

I got this phone in October and I still don't wanna run it over with a tank.

Anything specific you wanna know?
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
No root tool, however, the root method is simple and pain free if you are capable and can follow directions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Thanks for the info! I've wanted the Photon 4G since I renewed last fall but I chose the EVO 3D (coming from the EVO 4G). I was pretty disappointed with the 3D in general and I've regret the decision of getting it in the first place. But from your personal use, how's battery life? Is the Tegra 2 better than the S3/Adreno 220 in the 3D? I enjoy playing games and so far (Modern Combat 3, BackStabHD) have performed pretty well on the 3D. Any experience with these on the P4G?
[Motorola Photon 4G] treetolber:
Go back to the HTC family.

Sent from my ICS Shooter 3D
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Battery life on the P4G is a lot better for me at least than the 3D ever was. Another note, reception. Leaps and bounds over Sammy and just a hair better than HTC. Wifi, data, calls and texts. To me 3g is unless on this phone. I sit on a super fast Wifi connection at home and 4g blankets the places I go.

As far as games go, my gaming extent is angry birds and techno kitten adventure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Thanks for the info. You say 3G is useless because of the WiFi/4G or because there is a problem with 3G?
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Lol from experience with the P4G or because you have a 3VO?
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
3g is fine. I personally can't tolerate how slow it is.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
You've got a point. I just assumed it was my area. Everything shows as 3G on my EVO but I swear it's 1x/EvDO. I think it's just to make people happy
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Yeah. I work from home so unless I leave the house I'm on a 100meg connection. If my phone ever says 3g, I don't even bother with using data.

Any other specific stuff?
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Thats about it. Thanks very much! Once I get the phone I'll post any questions if I have any but it sounds like I'll enjoy it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Ok I picked up the Photon... so far so good (overall). I have two issues though that maybe you can help me with.

1) Headset might be busted. Plugin in headset the phone goes nuts making calls, bringing up voice commands - tried with two known working headsets. Audio sounds like hissy/tinny. If I push the plug to the side it sounds ok so I'm think it's loose? I'll get a Torx set from RadioShack tomorrow and check more.

2) The phone is slow. On the home screen, swiping between each screen has such a tremendous lag. The music player takes almost a minute to load the songs from my SD card (roughly 3000 songs). I just did another factory reset so we'll see how it goes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Yeah. That sounds like it's broken.

Hard reset should fix the slow problem. I use ADW EX to replace the shock ui but that's just cause I like it better and I got the circle folders.

Anything else?
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
I tried a gameloft game tonight, Modern Combat 3 and I get to the 3rd splash screen and it reloads the app. I'm downloading the data files for BackStab HD now to see if that one will work.

HDMI out is pretty unimpressive. When you move from one app to another you can see a transparent image of the previous screen behind the active one. Not a big deal, HDMI out isn't a huge deal but for videos/pics I think it'd be fine.

Hopefully tomorrow with be a better day with this puppy. If I keep having problems I'll just claim it through Asurion.

EDIT: HDMI is fine. Problem was with a crappy HDTV.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Your headphone problem alone should get you a free replacement at sprint if you're under the TEP plan... Defective product.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Even though I didn't buy it from Sprint? I have the TEP plan but they direct me to Asurion regarding any type of TEP claim.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Yeah. Go into the sprint store and tell them your headphone port doesn't work. I got my photon from craigslist. Had a problem with getting texts and it got replaced.

As long as you don't have water damage you sound be fine. I wouldn't take it apart before you bring it in. Let them do it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thefsfempire:
Battery's wet indicator has been tripped. There isn't one on the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Worth a shot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] BoskoSLO:
Hi!

I have no idea how but somehow my wi-fi signal on my phone got like 3 time worse today. e.g. Two days in my room i had full signal for my modem now its barely connected.

I first restarted my modem and it didnt fixed anything. My prothers phone(HTC desite) wifi works perfect with full signal and mine not.

Today when i went to work and tried to connect to the companys free public wifi connection and it couln't find the signal at all.

I have no idea what happend to my phone. curently i'm using custom rom aurora

3.0 beta. This issue just came from nowhere.

Its my wifi adapter damaged? or is there a way to fix this problem by my self?:confused:

thx in advance!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
dzo is improving the wifi driver, just stay tunned in the rom thread...

Your phone is OK, the driver is not so well :P

Go back to a more stable version and the prolem should be solved.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] BoskoSLO:
I also installed the original 2.3.5 gingerbread and still have the same problem.

its possible that the aurora wifi driver was still present when i installed the offical rom?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
The main point of all problems - WHY USE FULL OF BUGS .35 WHEN THERE ARE ALMOST BUG FREE .32 ROMS.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
Because there are no ICS for .32
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] BoskoSLO:
which .32 rom do u recommend? I will install it, because my phone without wi-fi is almost useless :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
Latest cm7
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] BoskoSLO:
It looks like something is wrong with my phone and i'm pretty sure its not the rom thats causing the wi-fi failure. I will clean my phone as much as i can from the rooting and changing roms and than send it to service.

I remmeber that this morning "12 hours ago" my phone felt accidently on the ground.

It didnt shut down or leaved any scratch. maybe than dmged wi-fi. i dont know :S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraquib:
Have we lost this functionality? It appears on ICS upgrade of i9100, the option has disappeared as well.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
I bought the One X because the bluetooth performance of the Sensation was pathetic, and worryingly it seems the X has the same problem somehow.

I find that when wearing my Plantronics Backbeat 902 headphones that the connection is broken by something so simple as turning my head away from the pocket (front top jacket). I can hold the phone in my hand and simply pinch the top corner next to the camera and SIM slot to totally kill the connection.

At first it seemed that it must be the headphones getting old because how could the One X have a problem so widely known from the previous flagship? Well my Galaxy Tab 8.9 has no such problem. I can hug the tab as much as I want and just TRY to kill the signal, it will not happen. I can walk two rooms away and keep listening to music but the One X fails even a half meter from me if I turn the wrong way.

Can anyone else verify this behaviour? It is not that I want it to be the case, perhaps mine is just broken (odd because the screen/battery seem fine!) but if HTC have failed on another antenna then I will very much want a refund because two flagships in a row off contract is just too much to forgive!
[HTC One X] ajc158:
Hi,

One X and Samsung HS3000 - I have found that connection stays mostly good, with maybe one or two tiny glitches per song - perfectly listen-able, and not as bad as what you describe, but not as good as I would have hoped - I am going to see if it is due to using extreme quality spotify downloaded tracks I'm playing (since the HS3000 is aptX it should stream at that kind of bitrate). I'll try lower bitrate and see if that makes a difference.
[HTC One X] boringest:
seems to work fine with Nokia BH-505 but i got cut off around 10m away.

Tried with an iPod Touch and it's about the same distance.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
With Sennheiser MM400, I get perfect reception, in a leather case, in my pocket however I turn my head. In open air I get around 10 metre range. Maybe your bluetooth antenna is defective. If it's in your pocket make sure the screen faces inwards to your body. Also the receiver in your headphones could be on either side, so switching pockets may help.

Don't forget, other devices may appear to have greater range if they are transmitting at a lower quality than the One X. Also, I guess it could be that some headphones struggle to cope with higher bit rates if they don't have much buffer memory.

I'm blown away by bluetooth stereo quality compared to my sensation. My headphones had been sitting gathering dust until now.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Thanks very much for the replies, that helps a lot. I cannot believe this but it is the phone.

I remembered I have a PS3 headset by Sony, never failed me. I just called my girlfriend and from the distance of my hand to my ear while sitting down - not even holding at arms length - I can KILL the signal by pinching the corner where the front camera is.

I love this device, it is truly exceptional. But two HTC flagships in a row that I paid for outright have failed in the thing I use daily. I do not think I can face trying repair this time. Never helped my Sensation Bluetooth.

So that's two headsets by two brands, both work perfectly with any other device (and a Nexus S) but the two HTC phones just die when I use them.

Coincidence probably but after this much money, I am going to try to get my money back. Even paid for two years accidental damage warranty this time. Really quite unhappy about this now..

Again, thanks for the feedback.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Stating the obvious here but have you tried in multiple locations to rule out interference?

I'm about to test my headphones again and try pinching the corner as you described.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Nope, can't replicate it. In fact the only way I can get any loss if quality at all is to walk 10m away. Looks like you got a duff phone.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Overly. Though more specifically right now, no. Which is why I can say a Samsung telephone or tablet work with the Plantronics or Sony headsets where the Sensation and One X do not. Same location, would have to be super specific interference.

I ride to and from work 6 days a week, and often between. This is why I use A2DP headphones for music or podcasts, sometimes calls. The amount of ground I cover should rule out any localised problems.

The most bizarre thing I can say is that out the box it seemed to be perfect, I was relieved. Since 2 weeks or so it has just dropped into a near non functional state. I would willingly say the power in my house was at fault but that has left so many other devices alone, including my girlfriends iPhone 4 and Nexus S.

I also tinker with tech a lot, just not down at the electronics level, so right now I feel I have tried everything (again) and been as good to the device as I could be, and just really, really unlucky.

Evidentially not all units are at fault so I will not play that stupid card of "HTC Can't make phones!" that some do when they have an issue, but you must understand I feel pretty ripped off nonetheless by now!
[HTC One X] scointer:
pleased I found this thread as I also seem to have the exact same problem. I have a fairly old Sony Bluetooth stereo headset that I used with my desire without any issues, with my one x if I move more than a metre away or place my hand between the devices they stutter and stop. I hate to think my phone is faulty as it seems fine in all other respects and reading the other stories that is fairly rare at the moment. I am happy to try other headsets as this one is quite old but if it is definetly a phone issue the sooner I sort things the better. does anyone have suggestions on things to try
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Not specifically, but if you do try something new (mine are also old - but work perfectly with other devices) please do report back. I'd love to keep this phone but a repair will invalidate my option for refund.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
HOX on 1.2.9 and no issues at all, I'm using it alongside the HS3000 and connection is rock solid. Phone in pocket, and HS3000 clipped to my shirt. Even maintains a solid connection whilst using the London Underground.

However was in PC World and had major interruptions due to the various invisible signals in that store.

Generally it's fine, streaming via Spotify using Extreme Quality and via Poweramp.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
I am slightly curious to see if the different BT revisions are at play - but that is super hard to work out.

Both my headsets are 2.1 devices, Sensation was 3.0 and One x is 4.0. The phones that worked properly are 2.1+EDR. But the Galaxy tab is 3.0 and works perfectly. So...

I am still thinking internal antenna of phone.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
It should be backwards compatible. But you got 2 headsets and tested on various devices so the BT in the phone might not be all that.

Have you tried updating your firmware? Do you have the latest 1.2.9?
[HTC One X] nailerr:
It's 1.29.x.x but yeah. I did wonder if that was at play, forgot to ask what other people were running earlier since when mine was working properly it was 1.26 but I cannot place where the problem began as I was busy/sick/away.
[HTC One X] scointer:
UPDATE : ok tried in the same place with my old sony HBH DS970 headset and major cut out if i cover headset or top of phone or walk more than a metre away.

Tried exactly the same with my turtle beach px5 headset (which has blutooth obviously) and everything is much better walked 5 metres no problems, covered phone with no real problem (did glitch just once).

I am running 1.28 T-mobile branded so now need to narrow down if certain types of profile or headset brands are the problem.

Pity I really like my sony headset
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Thanks, adding some interesting details there.
[HTC One X] scointer:
so next question....can anyone recommend some cheap (£50ish) portable headset that works well with HTC one x and sound reasonable.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Would love to help you out there but clearly not in the situation. I was also looking into a new set with Apt-X (as the X supports it) but settled on none before realising the phone was a bust unit.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
No problems with my HOX as well and i use 2 headsets (depends which one is charged) : Plantronics and Nokia.I don't have any problems with them so far and i keep my phone preety far from the headset.
[HTC One X] Hoodeddeathman:
I find that with my Creative WP-350 headset and my phone in my jean pocket, if I put my hand in my pocket over my phone I get the occasional break in the connection but that's the only situation is happens and is fairly avoidable.
[HTC One X] omar302:
Does the quality of connection change after having a phone call through Bluetooth?

I have a plantronics M100 and if I connect it, the connection repeatidly breaks until I make a phone call, afterwards connection becomes excellent.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
That actually sounds unusual. Do you mean music sounds broken until a call is made? Because stereo audio and in call are two different Bluetooth profiles, and bluetooth is an evil tech so that may be related.
[HTC One X] omar302:
The M100 is only for calls. So I am talking about in call only. The connection that breaks is the standby connection when there is no call.
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Then I perhaps do not understand, it should only establish the connection for an audio stream. Although, the icon should remain that lets you know there is still an active device.
[HTC One X] pestelence:
exactly same

hi im using the one x with plantronics back beat hheadphones and i have exact problem tho i had no problem with headphones on samsung s2 i did have same problem with the desire i also have problems with blue tooth on jawbone icon one which is old and bought a newer one but my jawbone prime works perfect ,,,after update this morning put music on and for 5 minits it didnt cut out thought oh its fixed it but then nope started again i do find if i lay still and put phone in one place away from my body and dont move it works ok (pity i mostly listen to music when working )

but i still love htc phones just wish theyd fix bluetooth problem :):)
[HTC One X] ajc158:
Update on my first post:

HS3000 and HOX: since the 1.29 update I have had perfect playback - the only way I can cause signal loss is covering the HS3000 entirely with my hand.

Seems like the OP has an issue - looking at the way the antenna for BT is on the plastic body and cabled to the mainboard (from the disassembled pics on the forum) I'd imagine there is a short or loose contact...
[HTC One X] nailerr:
Oh man, where were you an hour ago! I just was at the shop, sending back to HTC for repair or if they will give the shop a new unit, a refund. Painful option, amazing device. Just tired of the number of problems I have had with Android phones over the last year. Weighing my options. Would be totally happy with a WORKING One X for example!

Incredible we are having the same issues with similar equipment though. HTC said they suspect a broken connection (from my light handed use I wonder how) and as such the shop has sent it in.

I'll try to remember to update when I know more in some 2 weeks.
