[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
I have only noticed this question asked for a sense 3.6 ics rom in probably 2 forums and i noticed they didnt get that much response from the developers that were asked. But as i noticed a few others have been wondering, i would also like to ask, is there any type of way on sense 3.6 to add a mod like on RCMix version sense 3.5 where you can use the volume rocker for the camera key. This would be great and the only mods out there is one that is on the market and you have to set the volume key to the camera but it dont work to either turn the volume up or down, which ever button you choose. I chose up seeing i could just press down once and use my finger to turn it up on the screen after it pops up, pretty easy actually and worth the nice option. Plus down and power together are used alot and didn't want to screw up any functions that included the volume down action. if there is a way with an app to implement this i know there has to be a smart dev out there that can implement what this app uses permanently in the rom but make it so the volume key is used normally when out of camera or cam mode. Thanks for any help. Plus seeing this is my 10th post now, maybe i could even work with someone on creating this as i unleash my amazing knowledge to Xda that no one would of expected i have. Had to ask serious questions though some may need to know there. Here i come god dammit Xda.

[HTC One X] ruscik:
This is not One X specific as had same issue on all android phones I tested.

As I never had any for longer never looked to fix it. HD2 android was for fun and Motorola defy as GPS only.

1. Is there a way to make the phone not interrupt music each time it plays notification for e-mail or any other event, more importantly is it possible to make it not stop music while playing GPS instructions?

2. Can I set the GPS to start automatically with Co-Pilot or Google navigation and shut off when I switch off the apps?

3. Is it possible to make the co-pilot work in background and after screen is turned off (still navigate and give voice directions)?

4. Is there a normal way of deleting e-mails in gmail account. If I select e-mails and click delete it downloads them again from server at next update over and over again. The only way I found how to delete it is to select the offending e-mails, move them to thrash folder then run an update. Then delete them. What gives? BTW for e-mail I only use HTC mail app.

5. Can I set the browser to always open websites in full desktop view? Even if I have desktop view option ticked some websites first open in mobile view. I then have to un-tick desktop view so it reloads and tick it again so it reloads to desktop view.

6. Is there an app that will allow me to assign long press key functions to 3 buttons at the bottom?

7. Finally is there an app that will switch off volume buttons when screen is off, always. It is the same issue as it was on HD2 and HD7 however there buttons needed some force to operate on One X a small pressure will operate volume bar. Just winding the headphone wire loosely around phone activates volume buttons.

My device is rooted and is a Tegra 3 device.

Finally a proper One X question is there a list of all pre-installed apps in the stock One X Europe device, description what they do and if it is safe to remove them?
[HTC One X] JDBurnie:
Hey there! I Can sortoff help with a couple of these.

1. Ive experimented with this myself, and i have found that putting the phone to vibrate/silent stops the interruption nearly all the time, at worst it makes the song miss a second.

And for bloatware on your device, most is safe to remove, things such as 7digital, i dont know how to delete them, but you can disable them to make your phone run smoother.

Settings>Apps>All> Find one and tap it> uninstall

If it may cause a disturbance you get a safety warning and a caution about confirming :) hope this helped alittle.
[HTC One X] ruscik:
JDBurnie, thx. I know how to remove bloat ware just root your device. I removed 7 digital, soundhog, few htc services I will never use and all reporting tools. I just know there is more there as there are apks there I have no idea what they link to. Like Coca service? It does not provide free coca-cola or white snow :)

Re point one will test, it is not a solution but workaround only sadly.
[HTC One X] JDBurnie:
Okay man, no problem :) and yeh I was looking to do that myself, I've tried alot of roots but I can't seem to root my phone I follow instructions religiously and it doesn't seem to work... But disabling them will work for me :) good luck!
[HTC One X] ruscik:
I used the method where you unlock bootloader via HTCdev.com. Especially that now you can do OTA with it quite easy. Bit of script edit on the phone and then use recovery to load it.

Anybody have any idea where I could get an aluminum or nicer battery cover replacement?

I don't like the feel of the cheap plastic on the galaxy range.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jp217p:
I'm looking for the same thing!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndroidZ28:
Galaxy SIII doesn't have "cheap plastic" back
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 10076757:
fair enough, but it looks cheap.

im looking for a metal back cover as well. preferably a white one
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HKboy92:
There are only cases, but no back covers that are metal. It would only damage your phone if you get the battery cover off of it with metal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] winwiz:
I am hoping they release the ZAGG leather skins like they have for other phones. Once that is applied, nothing else is needed!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
have you really had a SGS3 yet to say that you dont like it??? Geez.... have some patience and you might find that its much better than it looks. Besides getting a metal or alloy piece will be much more scratch prone and that is not something you would like to have!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] D33KK:
Alright calm yer beans I was just curious, like im sure many others are.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
sure, im curius as well, to see why half the reviewers of the S3 say the rear cover is brilliant and nothing like the photos show, and the other half insist that its 'plasticky'

then i can decide about covers. However i have already preordered some a couple of cases to go with the phone anyway as im sure it will be a while before they will ever make proper rear covers to replace.

Hmmm, not a fan tbh. I've been using mine with no cover for 2 days now and I'm loving it! So thin and light. Though I'm going to order a carbon fibre cover (to sit over existing cover) just in case I drop it or someone else does.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sargorn:
Those aren't "covers" though, they're replacement "backs".

Found that seller just a second ago and was going to post it myself. Going to order a couple and see what they're like.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rydaz:
Here are couple close-ups of the replacement covers for anyone that's interested.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lukyjay:
A metal case would really screw up your reception, and stop a lot of things like GPS and NFC from working. Take a look at the old transformers

[Galaxy S III Accessories] maatus:
great job! even before I got my sgs3 I knew I was going to apply a 3M on the back so I see more people have same ideas here :)

I am willing to do the same but not with my stock back cover in case the adhesive wont come off later.

How did you manage to curve it on the corners? is the foil soft or did you use heat?

Thankx for advice!

This is easy to install, are this replace the battery cover, or do you install it above it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SONE9:
You just replace your old back cover and put this one on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SkzBR:
Just ordered it from ebay (link).

Now a long wait for arrive, i didn't find any seller on USA to have a fast delivery.

Can you make a test with your cell tower and wi-fi signal and see if this change with original and this battery door?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maatus:
looks nice.

does it add extra mm or is it as thick as the original one?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
It doesn't add a few more mm because when I use the clear thin tpu case it fits but just barely. Its still an option if you have bought the tpu case, but I like the alloy feel so much that I bought a grey fitbag instead to be able to enjoy the phone as it is.

sent with WSGS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maatus:
so it is actually made of alloy, nice. I thought it was plastic. does the color match with the silver plastic on the phone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
The silver on the phone is actual alloy I think with a lacquer on top.

The cover is a plastic made cover, with an alloy insert at the back.

I tried to show from the photos how much it matches and I think the match is pretty much as good as it is going to get.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SkzBR:
So, wifi and cell signal aren't changed? can you test?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
Can't do any specific test, not one worthy of a proper result. So taking things with a pinch of salt, I can say that maybe the wifi is a bit less of signal only a bar less sometimes.

The 3g signal I haven't noticed getting any worse. I can still have the same results even in areas that the signal is very poor when I can remember using the normal plastic cover

As i live into a big city, there won't be any significant change on my SGS3 i think.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Poodlemastah:
Anyone know of any "rimless" carbon fibre ones?

I've ordered one with the rim but I'd prefer one where the entire battery cover is uniform.

Stay Away from Metal back cover and bumper frame

For ppl wondering if this affects your wifi, I can confirm it does. Here is my story. I bought this metal case (Green & Blue and then this metal frame I used both together and I had no wifi issues untill after 3wks of use. My wifi started to disconnect almost all the time and then to reconnect takes like ages. I tried everything, I thought it was Lima and Wifi auto on that am using that was causing it, I unistalled them, factory reset and even flashed a fresh stock ROM, still my wifi won't connect. Reluctantly, I removed the case and it connected but the signal was so poor that I cannot open a page.

To cut the long story short, it got to a point that my S3 will not connect to a wifi from a distance greater that 1-2m away from the router. But as soon as I place my phone on top of my router it connects.

Again I said maybe its my router, I decided to tether with the phone to see how good the signal would be, to and behold, the signal was so weak that nothing was able to connect to it, that was when I knew my wifi antenna is fried.

However, since I used the both together, I can't really say for sure that either one of them caused it independently, so the only way to stay safe is to not use any of them ever again.

I didn't notice any issues with my network connection but can't say such about GPS bcos I hardly use it.

Well all thanks to warranty, I returned it to Handtec and got a replacement though am still furious about the DHL freight cost that I paid for the return.

Pls don't use metal back cover if you love your wifi.

Read this as well http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/68583538-post2909.html
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
In all honesty from your experience we wont be able to ever know if this was fromthr metal frame or cover or both. Likely to say that both together may have caused an issue.

I was able to connect to wifi from my apartment and from the apartment on the floor above in the uk block of flats that I live and although the signal wasn't perfect I didn't notice a serious issue. I have to say that I don't use wifi for ling periods though and don't know if this has an effect.

I tend to wonder though why would a metal cover or bumper be an issue to damage an antenna since htc one s has a whole alloy unibody with top and bottom plastics alone. Surely that unibody would be an issue at some point as well, wouldn't it? Unless its the metal bumper that caused it.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] scriller:
I have the sgs3 and to feels like a lite piece of plastic. theres no going around that feel in the hand. to me it actually feels cheap. I would like something to make it feel better.....a little more weight, a little less plasticy.I believe a metal back would help in this regard. I personally don't care about scratches in the back, I just need the phone to feel better in my hands.

in any case I'm just using this phone until the new windows phone 8 devices comes out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
You buy the phone as an accessory then yes, the galaxy is not for you. Even if that was the case, I would gladly have the plastic which is at least half replaceable rather than an alloy that chips from a company that lies about it, then partially fixes it a little and mudies the water. Some people are happy with a bit of chipping just for the looks of it. I don't so if you feel that the sg3 is a cheap feel, I will disagree but its clear we have completelly different views of what a phone is for.

I've also been looking at that carbon fiber back. In the pictures it looks considerably thicker and chunkier than the stock plastic. Is it that noticeable, or is it about the same?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
It's about 1-1.5mm thicker then the stock back. TPU cases will still work but hard cases like the ROCK case will not. Also the aftermarket back will not work with the Infuse car dock.

There is one benefit though...the slightly thicker back protects the camera lens.

Yeah it does seem we have different views on the matter. However, all cell phones or both a tool and an accessory. Plus I'm not sure what company you're talking about. An iPod weighs 65g while this phone weighs in at 85g however in the hand the ipod feels heavier and more sturdy. The iPod has a "oh **** this must be expensive" feel to it (while its not), however on the other hand this has a "wtf?" Feel to it (and not In a good way). Many of my friends held it in their hands and that is most often what comes out their mouths.

But all in all its an ok phone. I read a couple commented that the mental backs degrades their signals so u guess that explains why Samsung used plastic materials.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] critofur:
I'm sorry but you're wrong. I WOULD like to have a solid titanium back cover for my phone. I own a watch with a titanium band/bezel (Sieko Kinetic) and scratching has simply not been an issue. Brushed titanium in it's natural color doesn't scratch that easily, and when it does it doesn't look bad at all anyway. In fact, I'd still much rather have an extremely scratched up titanium battery cover than a pristine plastic one :)

I also wish I could replace the metallic trim ring with a slightly larger titanium one which goes up slightly above the glass edge to provide a little better protection against the screen cracking.

I'd like to either not have to keep my phone in a case, or, have a thin "bumper" case with metal that wraps slightly around the front of the phone.
