[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Phone has been fine, working GREAT, thanks to the smart minds in this forum. Well, today my phone has been fine, until just a little while ago. It doesn't appear to have re-booted at all, but now things are really different. My theme isn't working, and isn't even showing up in my list anymore, as well as a lot of apps. I rebooted, and when I did, there was a wierd icon in my status bar. It looked to be the sim, or SD, with an exclamation point beside it.

I booted into recovery and tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fix permissions. It got rid of the icon, but my apps still aren't showing up. A lot of them. Also, before rebooting, it wouldn't let me send a text. What should I do?

Val Final Rom, AntonX rc2 kernel, AS14.1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Update:

Everything is looking fine now. Apps have returned. I'm not sure really what happened, but I freaked. This is why I only use 'chirps'. I get pissed and smash these things when they fail to do my bidding.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Update 2:

It happened again. I think I have it figured out to be a problem with my sim card. Gonna try a few things and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mrw0rm:
Maybe internal storage device/memory problems? I would try making a backup and reflashing same/different rom to test if it still happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Last time that happened to me, my SD card went corrupt. It may be time for a new one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
you may have broke your sd reader.

Sim cards don't cause internal phone problems, all that would happen is no service/"UNABLE TO READ SIM CARD". Your apps/data would be fine.

Did you drop it?(your phone)

That's what happened to my G1.

And since when are themes listed in applications??

Do you mean launcher?(home screen replacement)

cm7/miui have theme support.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Sorry, been awwaway. Crazty night off. Phonne is still workidng fine from last fix. I thinki I just put it donw too hard.

[General Questions and Answers] vetle666:
Hi. Ive recently bought an Ainol Novo7 Advanced 2 tablet. Now im trying to get my external bluetooth adapter to work with it.

I plug it in to the usb cable that connects to my tablet, but my tablet wont let me turn bt on. Any idea why?

Ive posted a topic over at Slatedroid as well (there is a spesific forum for this tab there), but ive got no answers.

Im running Android 4.0.3 on the tablet and ive flashed the tablet with a rom from the Slatedroid forums. Is that why bluetooth wont work? Because the creator of the rom didnt ported/mapped/whatever bt to be compitable on this device?

Any help or just a little clue would be greatly satisfying! Thank you, Vetle!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
So my wife has had her iPhone 4s for about 6 months now, and it is a wonderful phone (for her) and it has had very few problems. Notice, I didn't say no problems, just a lot fewer than I have experienced with my epic. I've had the random reboots, fc errors ocasionally, and for a while (on cm9 beta 1 or 2) navigation would cash requiring a battery pull.

Problems with the iphone are glaring in some respects (files I would like to copy off the phone but can't because the file system is locked down, or having to use itunes because media monkey isn't ios5 compatible) and more subtle in others (like an app update that went awry somehow, requiring a phone shut down, uninstall, reinstall.)

So I wonder, why do we accept the somewhat buggy environment of Android over using an iphone that is as stable as it gets?

I think for me, it's just that I would rather have a bug crop up ocassionally while retaining control over my phone. Is it just me? What do you think?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Because we build off of it and continue to build the whole theory behind Open Source (OSS). Much more customizable options, several designs of phones instead of one ugly ass brick that still is 3.7".

The idea that it brings innovation to a new level, there are so many reasons why and it continue on and on. if you don't like bugs go Stock Keep it at that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Beta 3 has fixed the GPS issue I think from looking at their commits I think they fixed that stuff. But that's the beauty of android is you are able to fix issues your self if you have experience. The iPhone your forced to wait for fixes of things you find annoying. But if you want to be stable and clean of bugs. Go back to stock you won't have as many issues. Things are always prone for error. Nothing is flawless. The reason iOS is so "stable" is it is made for one phone. Not millions of others.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
Yes, somewhere in there the gps issues have been resolved. I have had no problems on beta 3.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
Because we like to push the bleeding edge of tech

After all, if I wanted stability and to have "everything just work", I would just load up a fully polished 2.3 ROM and everything would "just work". Before I moved off of Legendary, I had ZERO issues, and performance that outdid stock by a long shot. I couldn't get things to fail, even with trying.

But I choose to run CM9, an option I would never have it this was like the iPhone, which brings my Epic to the leading edge of Android, thanks to the open source setup of Android
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmsomb:
Don't flash custom roms and stay with stock

sent from an epic touch phone
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_nu:
I hate to say it but flashing beta, alpha and custom roms is not for you if you want a "stable" rom, to be honest why not stay with stock? My opinion is i flash custom and BETTER rom than stock because they are built to fix problems in previous versions of android. iOS to me have always gave me problems. So ill stick with

Android Open Source Project

!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
I think I was getting just as many, if not more, bugs with the stock roms as I am with cm9. I'm really happy with cm9.

I guess my question is being misinterpreted. I would prefer a little buggy-ness if it means I get to control my phone. The occasional hiccup is not a big deal to me if I can customize the way I interact with the phone. I like being able to access the entire file system and make changes as I see fit. I like having a choice for my launcher, and my on screen keyboard.

To me, those things are more important than rock-solid stability.

Apparently, most of you agree.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_nu:
I couldn't thank the devs enough of how much time and effort that is being put into this phone, and to me 4.0 is MUCH better than 2.X.XX android. And the support is fantastic. Of course we all get defensive, our EPICS are well... just EPIC :D

I don't know if it's just me, but I for sure wouldn't dare to crack open my HOX using brute force like that.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
yeah, we must be very gentle !!!

i ordered a white cover replacement... i have to do it
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
with patience and with care, i open mine, to change the back cover.

and everything in good condition.

The back cover, cames with out the SPEAKER.

you need to remove the speaker from original back cover, and put it on the new back cover
[HTC One X] McBeaker:
Would not want to open mine up! either by force or with a tool! but nice to know it can be done if absolutely necessary!! Nice post thanks :)
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
I tried to open a faulty one i got from eBay, after removing the back case its such a pain to even remove the motherboard, and even harder to put it back

+when re-assembling you have to plug connectors to both sides of the motherboard:(

Oh and if anybody opens it up...as soon as you open the back case, the power button and volume button will fall out. Dont loose them! (Also note the power button has a certain orientation)
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello, it looks like there is some tools to do it more gently ...

Here is one, a "sucker" to remove the screen easily :

i'm thinking of switching covers from black to a white one.

a couple of questions;

1) The camera lens glass, is that sticking out of the ring? or is the ring around the glass higher than the glass? (Sorry, i know exactly how to explain this in dutch, not in english)

At the moment my camera-lens glass is sticking out a little bit and it allready is getting scratched up.

2) Do you get the volume / power buttons with the new cover or do you have to re-use the old buttons?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
1) the covers comes with the glass.

2) the covers cames with the volume and the power buttons

Hi Bro,

would like to know whether do you need to apply any adhesive or glue when assembling th HOX? is it lose without gluing? as what I understand is that there are some use of glue to hold the HOX tighly. Please advise.

Cheers!
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
you don't need any glue or adhesive
[HTC One X] payzx:
thank you for your speedy reply. but just one more question, will the tech at the service centre notice any difference if I change the back cover and still send it in for warranty? just in case... I am thinking to change the case due to the scratches on the camera lense and I will be changing back to the same colour. is there any identification information on the back case?
[HTC One X] verynuclear:
Thanks for these videos

I ordered one back cover from here

My camera glass cover has many scratches so I decided to put a transparent protector then after one month when trying to remove this protector, It was impossible to remove to, so I have now an ugly look camera glass.

The question is>>> Can I remove this piece of glass to clean it from the protector if I take my One X apart?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
what glass ?

I mean the clear plastic cover of camera in the back cover.

[HTC One X] b-george:
I see thanks.

Is it any way to see i have opened the housing and changing it? I don't want to lost my warranty.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
dont know... :(
[HTC One X] b-george:
Was it any warranty seal when you removed the housing?
[HTC One X] tmaniac:
No warranty seals as far as i could see.

Only some drops of glue between the device and the back.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
yeah, there arent any warranty seals
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
The exciting potential possibility is that - someone starts to make a thicker backcover with a much larger battery. They could sell hundreds on ebay if its doable.

Get the HOX thicker but with a 4-day battery....mmmm

You can already get something similar on Ebay as a separate back.

[HTC One X] grammasta:
I only got the bottom and left side open before I looked under the buttons and it was something stuck to the back cover. That was before I read this thread and figured out that I have to move the speaker over to the new cover. But there seems to be something stuck from around the small speaker enclosure. Did you have to unplug anything before removing it ? One of the Japanese disasembly videos showed a connector having to be removed....any ideas?

[HTC One X] Shidapu:
Just a hint of caution to everyone who might read this, also if it has been said before thats okay as well.

When you try to separate the LCD from the Digitizer you absolutely need a heat gun or something that can heat this thing up, maybe an oven (I didnt try that) but you need at least 120c or so, not for very long, but enough that you feel it should peel off like a banana without hurting the LCD Glass Screen, if you do mess up like i did, buy a Digitizer + LCD assembly kit, might be alot more expensive, but there are no risks except hurting the other components inside the phone.. :)
[HTC One X] arjen9551:
Anyone here replaced the glass screen + digitizer themselves? Mine fell on the ground and I ordered a new screen from ebay (with digitizer and tools) and I have one small question: How do I glue the LCD and glass screen back together? Or isn't this necessary at all? I did not get any adhesive together with my screen. There is however a some kind of foil on the backside of the glass, but I'm not sure if I should peel it off..
[HTC One X] ChobbyNS:
it is glued together already.

or you can buy just digitizer and take apart old lcd from digitizer and the put new one on lcd and glue it together.
[HTC One X] arjen9551:
How is it glued together? What I have in front of me, is a piece of glass, with a ribbon cable (I presume for touch functionality). When I look at disassembly videos, I have to remove the cracked glass from the LCD and then place my new glass screen on the LCD. So I should just glue LCD and glass screen together?
[HTC One X] godutch:
Can't you just buy a screen+digitizer combo and just return the digitizer. I have never done this sort of thing but I have tried to apply screen protectors and it always ended in a mess, with dust or air trapped behind the screen protector.
[HTC One X] arjen9551:
Hmm I could. But a replacement LCD+digitizer is $90, screen only $20 ;)
[HTC One X] godutch:
Yeah but if you mess up placing the digitizer you'll end up paying $110 and I believe the chances for messing up are almost 100%
[HTC One X] ChobbyNS:
you can dissasembly digitizer from lcd but it is tough job and you can damage lcd because they are glued together with adhesive.

You need proper tools,hair dryer or something like that and patience to do that but it is possible.
[HTC One X] godutch:
I think separating them is the part, gluing the new digitizer+screen together is the hard part
[HTC One X] arjen9551:
Yes, that is also what I saw in those youtube movies, but my main concern (like godutch said) is glueing my new digitizer+glass combo onto the LCD screen. Perhaps it is wise for my to gather some more information about this. .
[HTC One X] godutch:
When I was looking for ways to apply screen protector the advice was to do it in the bathroom and before applying to let the shower run hot water for a while, the damp will clear the air from dust. I tried this but still dust got trapped. Anyway 20 euros is not a big loss, you could try and if it fails you could buy a combo
[HTC One X] arjen9551:
I eventually ordered some adhesive strips through amazon, 2mm 3M adhesive strips "specially for touch screens". So I ordered a piece for $4, so after in a couple of days I can hopefully (and hopefully successfully) replace my cracked one x screen. I will let you know the results ;)
[HTC One X] 3anzai:
I just finished changing my broken display, I just can tell you it is impossible to change the digitizer only , I have a european model got it 3-4 months ago , had some differences againts the movies. There is no plastic spacer around the camera, screws are cross instead of torx, some minor differnces could be a revised model whatever..

I tried to seperate the broken digitizer from the screen, there is no way to do so, the complete area of the screen is glued to the digitizer its like a lamination, its not only on the outside frame, maybe they had to do this to get stability with this really thin glass.

On the other hand I can clearly feel an see that my spare display is not the same like the broken one, it feels different, a bit softer if you attach some more pressure in the middle you can "reach" the display with the glas, there are some color changes visible then, so I assume they are not connected with glue. I´m really not sure if I just bought a non original spare part or if this is a older version of the display. The Quality is alright, no differences bad color or blurring. Maybe HTC changed something after the firs batch :confused:

To glue together digitizer and screen you need the original glue stripes or a lot of patience, did it with a crashed Desire HD, its a pain in the ass to get the screen and the glas clean and glue them together without dust, and if the gluestripes are to thick or just move a bit while connecting you´ll see them on your screen edges ...

After putting it all back together following a teardown, does the phone still feel as solid as tight as before? Or does it start to creak especially at the bottom part?
[HTC One X] bpodnar:
And how to remove the speaker from back case? I dissasembled the phone bud the speaker wont fall out. I'm afraid to pull it out not to crack something.
[HTC One X] Beyazid:
I opened mine today and I was scared a few times because of the cracking sound but it´s only the glue.

It´s like a stripe inside the housing and it holds really tight if you are careful while opening the HOX.

Mine was creaking on the left side after reassembling it so I took a VERY little stripe from the double-sided adhesive tape and put it at the place where the cracking was. Everything is fine now and I can take it off at any time I want instead of using normal glue
[HTC One X] machv5:
lol. I know what you mean I have seen other video that shows a gentler approach on YouTube.

You can use a heatgun or hairdryer to make the adhesive tacky again and therefore not so much force is needed to split it apart. And seem less likely to cause extra damage. I bought a OneX with broken digitizer but LCD is OK. Also there is a difference between the HTC logo on glass and the AT&T logo on glass phones. I am assuming this has to do with the placement of the ribbons and attachments to the mobo.

I assume that the fact there is a SIM card used on the GSM it must have different mobo connector placement compared to the CDMA without one. But thta is only my assumption I don't know for sure.
[HTC One X] tmaniac:
i soldered my antenna with a small cable, so i don't want to open the unit up anymore ;)

Didn't use the adhesive strips on my new housing though, the housing is tight enough as-is, no cracking or moving noise.

only a small tick when you shake the phone but that's because of my new antenna connection-cable :P

@ the speaker issue;

if you use a flathead screwdriver you can gently pry the speaker out of it's casing.

Just remember the way it was put in, because of the contact-points and all that.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
with a knife its very easy, do it gently

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this one's for my bachelor's degree.

Thanks!

"sounds like a sticky situation"

Rofl. It was.

So a temporary fix was to remove all parts of the speaker and assemble them back into the space. Seems to work ok so far apart from the expected crackling. I'm feeling really lazy to order that replacement speaker down :banghead:
