[Android General] bitbang3r:
I could *probably* live with non-replaceable battery *if* the phone's built-in battery had life comparable to a 3600mAH battery today, but worry about establishing it as a norm. Manufacturers just can't be trusted to not trim and trim and trim their battery capacity year after year in the holy name of satisfying "design queens" who aren't happy unless their new phone is as thin & light at the latest abomination from Apple.

IMHO, the *ideal* compromise would be *two* batteries... one that's a user-swappable 3-for-$10 1700mAH commodity on eBay, and a built-in battery that fills every cubic millimeter of open space with lithium ion gel.

I value microSD partly as a convenient medium for rom images, but mostly as the closest thing to user-repurposable GPIO lines (and SPI bus) you can get in a new Android phone. IOIO & ADK are nice, but USB has latency, and I get warm fuzzies from being able to touch and program "bare metal". And it's hard to beat the cost of a hacked micro-SD card w/soldered on wires running through a hole drilled in the back controlling your 'bot without spending $65-80 for an ADK board. Wires and solder are cheaper & have better latency :-)
[Android General] .09.:
I never used a spare battery on any of my phones ever nor do I know any of my friends ho did so either. Manufaturers can make a stronger sturdier device and have more space inside (for lets say a little bigger battery) if it's non replaceable.

Same goes for the microsd. I think it uses a lot more space to have a nand + card reader + microsd + space to access microsd then to have a bigger nand.
[Android General] JokerAce:
I think when there are no removable battries, the way to enact a battery pull is to press and hold the power button for instances of 15 secs? At least that's what I have for my Android-run-Cowon which have irremovable battery.
[Android General] meastroxo:
i think its a thing from the manufacturer and there are advantages for the case, but i dont like it.
[Android General] Mackeys86:
I don't like the idea of not having a removable battery / SD card. After the degradation of a battery I would opt to have the option to replace the battery myself rather than send it in for warranty work. Especially when I have sensitive information on my phone.
[Android General] I Am Marino:
Delete some backups, you shouldn't need so many.
[Android General] Grey Ghost:
I've got mixed feelings About non removable storage, on one hand the extra space for "stuff" is nice but on the other hand if USB On the Go really takes off then most people will probably use their existing memory sticks whatever to just quickly plug in if they really need the extra headroom for say a backup or some massive clump of files. And with how everything is more and more commonly stored in the "googleverse" for say your docs music and all that guff the only bottleneck then is mobile data limits assuming you're off Wi-fi.

Batteries are a different story if they're not easily accessible but still changeable with a tear down I don't see the problem with that too much. It allows manufactures to in theory be more inventive with their form factors and placement for all those adorable little android organs.

Anyhow that's my two cents.
[Android General] gtdtm:
Edit: @I am Marino...

I do delete my backups and keep only one or two, but with that, boot manager and various other apps I find myself with just a couple gb left at any given time. If I didn't have expandable memory I wouldn't be too happy. As It is I can see myself upgrading in the near future without having to spend loads.

Hello -- I had full root access and was using Senso-Maniac for a few months; I reverted back to stock; all if fine but I now lost root. Is it safe to perform the same procedures (I beleive I just replaced the ROM before) as it is after the T-Mobile ICS Update? What are the procedures?? THANK YOU!

[Off-topic] dincfool:
So i'll give you the background information before you watch the vid. Recently we ordered a few pizzas and wings from a ny pizzeria. They showed up literally 2 hours late (delivered), and when he got there we still tipped him and soon realize after he left that we only got 20 out of our 50 wings. We called and the kids at the pizza shop pass the phone around laughing like its a joke. We complained about the wait and the missing wings but they really didn't care. We were all pretty blown away since we had the guys on speaker phone.

Anyways, a few minutes later my friend found a peace of hair in his pizza. It was cooked right into the cheese so gross. My other friend than called and told him he wants to speak to the manager and what had happened. Again the pizza guys played games not believing us and so on. The "manager" than says f it bring the pizza in we'll give you money for THAT pizza alone. We hung up and drove over. This is what happened, wait for the end haha. . .

Mod edit: Inappropriate.

BTW since my idiot friend didn't realize the window was going to break while he was bare ass, first instinct was to book it. Until we realized we got it delivered to my friends house :whyme: . The home owner went back to the store to pay for the window, while the cops showed up and so on. In total it was like a $400 window.

The worst part is, that pizza place DEF wouldn't of filed a police report because it would of been very bad publicity on the pizzeria.

Up until last week I've ran MikG 2.6-3.11 for the last few months with NO problems at all. It is fast and rock solid stable.

Aside from Themes the install was 100% stock with no lag and great battery life. I've tried several ROM's but I keep going back to MikG.

In the last week or so I've been running ODJDub HD Express X Sense 3.0 and it's also smooth running with no lag.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
MikG IS a Sense 2.1 ROM. The only Sense 3.0 thing about it is the Lockscreen. So, to answer your question, that's the best it gets :).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Slowly but surely we r getting some serious upgrades without s-off or bootloader unlocked. Custom Roms are out now that dont use recovery. I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my Overclocked 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! Devs just started doing it like this...

It's only going to get better! Everyone wanting to return their phones because we aren't unlocked yet should think twice! What more do you want in the 3rd week after launch? Most of these new tweaks and roms have come out today. Wait till the end of the week and see how much better this is gonna be..

I personally havent had any negative effect of the multitasking issues if that is what you are referring to. If you are saying apps are FCing as in having errors, havent had any problems with that either. So what are you talking about? So far i can do everything i want to do, everything i was doing on my sensation which was OC'd to 1.7. it felt like a 5 year old device compared to this one. If it isnt working for you, return it. Its doing fine for me. Best phone i've ever used. The multitasking issue will get fixed. The International version is already significantly better with their first update. I stream music daily in my car and have never had the service stop. i also use minfree and v6superscript which both help the mt woes.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
I tried messing around with Minfreemanager, but it ended up making my phone lock-up on a fairly regular basis, presumably because it couldn't get the free RAM it needed. Am I the only one having that problem? Are you on 1.82?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
Yeah, I'm on 1.82. I've used both the mild and default presets with no issues. Multitasking is working a lot better now to point where it's not really bothersome at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thebobmannh:
If you haven't had any issues with multitasking, how can you say that minifree and v6superscript help with the multitasknig woes?

I'm new here, I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just seriously struggling with "multitasking woes" personally and there are so many saying that it "doesn't bother them," I'm trying to figure out if it's something that I'm doing wrong or they're doing right or what.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
Welcome to XDA! I did have issues before running minfree. I could start a text message, exit with the home button, re-enter the app, and it would start over. Running minfree has resolved this issue. I'm not a big gamer on mobile, but I did test the before and after with Angry Birds Space. Before, it would completely refresh when exiting the app and re-entering, but now I can open several apps before it completely refreshes. It's not perfect, but has made it very tolerable. Also, I have either disabled or removed any of the AT&T or HTC bloat.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thebobmannh:
Glad to hear it, tahnks for the response :)

I know this isn't the place for this question, but : I know changing bootloaders (if it were unlocked) means you won't get updates from AT&T, but does rooting have the same side effect? Or can you still receive OTA updates from AT&T after rooting?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
That I'm not sure about, but you can run the 1.82 RUU again which will remove root and the tampered flag in the bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
With being overclocked to 1.8, how is your battery life?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Actually Red This is my first new day with it enabled. Its 3:30 here now, came off the charger at 6:00 this morning and i'm at 67% remaining. Light to moderate usage. Showed it off a couple times, spent 30 minutes on phone with 611 (for calls not going through or dropping calls while at work (2 bars)), ran a few benchmarks this morning. No GPS or Streaming yet today. I'm pretty pleased so far, although i haven't used it enough to be sure.

Edit: Just a note to everyone. The purpose of this thread was not to show off a quadrant score. It was to show that there is already so much stuff we can do, and we aren't unlocked yet. This new way of loading roms and themes and tweaks is pretty much new to most devs and cooks. They are progressing with leaps and bounds from where we were a week ago.

Take advantage of a few of the multitasking tweaks available, try the 1.82 de-odexed clean rom with some of its tweaks and try to enjoy this bad ass phone untill we get our update. If you cant enjoy it then that sucks because i am lovin it, everyone who purchased it should. Return it if it doesn't and grab the 2nd batch when they come out. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
Interesting. I've been reluctant to jump on the leaked 1.82, preferring to wait until it comes through official channels, but maybe I should go ahead and take the plunge.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
The call log has a record of calling activities like missed/incoming/outgoing calls.

The messaging app you have on your X8 stores the messages you receive.

So you can view the automatically recorded activities by these apps whenever you want. If you also want a message counter , install an app from Play :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
After over a year why does microsoft refuse to give us an authorized app that can change tile colors from the basic 10? Seriously is there a good answer? The best I can come up with is because that app would have to have registry access to be able to give us custom colors. However why make it an app? Why not just build it into the OS like a hot fix in settings or something..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
their reason is probably design related. They chose colors that are clearly readable in both themes, light and dark. If they allowed custom colors, people would be able to, for example, create white tiles. Match that with the light theme, white text and white pictograms and the phone would be unusable. This goes for a lot of colors where text or pictograms simply become undistiguinshable or unreadable. It's simply a way to prevent this from happening and I don't see what the big fuzz is. Surely amongst these 10 colors should be at least one color you like, I myself switch around with 4 of the accents.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Personally only the Nokia Blue color is just not god awful to look at. I have tried every combination both light and dark and the Nokia Blue is the only one that when you take the phone out to show it off just doesn't scream ugly. Some of us like other colors of the spectrum besides the primaries. Particularly the darker spectrum. On my HTC I set it to a very nice shade of dark grey and it looked so buttery smooth and sleek. As to the design concept I can see that but a simple fix would be a basic if/else If theme = light (insert spectrum here not allowed) like white on white. I can see that idea as one reason but it's such a simple fix I can't see why they couldn't think of more colors.

Personally it's the only feature I miss from my HTC Surround was Advanced Config. Change tile color to match my mood that day and set a custom SMS tone. (Still not sure why this functionality has not been implemented yet after almost 2 years...)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
Agreed, the color choices are pretty lame. And there should be an official tool to add colors. I understand someone may choose a color that can't be seen properly, but then hell, just change it back:D At some point, the hand holding has to be pulled back just a little and allow people to learn something on their own. And some of the colors are completely unusable for a guy that is not into Magenta, Purple, etc. But Brown! Who the hell ever uses that? I haven't seen not one SS or post from someone saying that was a color they used on their phone. It should've at least been replaced by a Grey seeing as how that's a more modern color! I've never seen Brown used in a Modern setting.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wardoc22:
Lol, you guys jelly? And I think the some of the default colors are pretty cool actually.. Magenta is cool, blue is cool, lime is cool, blue is cool, red is cool, purple is cool. The other colors are ok except for nokia blue and brown..

Maybe I'm just a fanboy. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
brown on white with a cyan lumia looks outstanding.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
regarding your first point: I think you're misinterpreting my statement wrong or that article :-). The article highlights that app developers should respect the accent of the user and not hardcode the accent itself into the app (meaning: it should use the color value provided in the system, not simply take the color value #FF1BA1E2 and slap it in there). My point was, that often developers use a second color in their apps, that go along nicely with the chosen accent. Some are hardcoded to look nice, others simply take the complementary color (weave comes to mind) which can result in weird/ugly color combinations.

as to your second post: I agree with the second part of that point: MS should add more accents in their system. I myself do not favour a color wheel approach of allowing users to use *any color they want*. If they'd provide 25-30 accents, surely no one could claim that their heterosexual lifestyle could be threatened by the colors of their phone :-D.

number one: I see what you did there, nice one :-). But magenta on cyan? doesn't that look horrible? :-D

I don't think registry level is what's standing in our way. After all, adding or assigning a custom ringtone also requires access to the registry, as does changing the current theme. And surely MS would be able to allow such an app or setting not to be abused freely for our pleasure, they'd only need to allow access to the appropriate keys. I really think the main concern is design related: preventing people from using horrible color schemes that could deter first time users (for example, magenta on cyan :-P) and/or design issues with apps.
