Can we use fast charger on our HoX?

Our original charger is darn too slow to charge fully our Hox so anybody tried using other charger like the charger for iphone or Nook or Smasung? Cause my nook tab

charge much faster than my Hox which also has bigger battery and my iphone also charge much quicker. Would doing such thing destroy our battery or degrade for that matter? Anyone experimented on that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] equlizer:
The HOX charger is 1A which is what the phone will accept. The iphone charger is also 1A.

I havnt even opened my HOX charger or cable. Just using generic 1A charger from another phone.

I've been using my Kindle charger without any problems, though I don't know what the output is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] arnelolavides:
Cant you find out what is the output of your Kindle Charger?

I have a Nook Charger here which is 1.9A and Im afraid to use it because

it might degrade my battery and since our battery is internal..it would be

difficult to have it change.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] arnelolavides:
I may have found the answer here in XDA here is it

*NC=Nook Color

The answer is it depends. Here's the options:

NC, NC cable, NC charger - Life's good, 1.8A charging rate

NC, NC cable, other charger - Depends on the profile and circuitry of the charger, could be 500mA, 1.5A, or 1.8A.

NC, other cable, NC charger - You'd better use a heavier gauge wire, because even though you're not using the NC cable, USB spec says that the device may request up to 1.8A if available. NC will decide what it wants here.

NC, other cable, other charger - You'll get 500mA, 1.5A, or 1.8A, depending on the charger. Again, be careful of amperage on the cable

other device, NC cable, NC charger - *should* work, but I don't recommend it. I think ground carries a high voltage for some reason, since I've seen my USB hubs resetting and sparks coming from the connector at times

other device, NC cable, other charger - this really should work, but you're not going to get faster charge times, since again it depends on the output of the charger. I'd still be cautious since the NC cable has something wierd going on.

other device, other cable, NC charger - Go for it. I've gotten 1 hr full charge times on my phone with this method. You MUST use a heavy enough gauge USB cable.

other device, other cable, other charger - depends on device draw and charger profile mode
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Yes. When I'm in a hurry I use my hp touchpad charger. It charges my phone an hour faster than the HTC one from under 10% to full.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
So...my girlfriend's galaxy nexus started randomly shutting off in the past few weeks..it was completely stock..so i decided to root it, change the kernel, ROM and baseband...

However, it still does it with no particular pattern..the only consistent thing is that it seems to happen when we're out of the house..not turning on or off any particular wireless service like wifi Bluetooth etc...i even tried tapping on the back a few times like some other forums suggested...but that didn't recreate the problem..so I'd really be happy to hear any troubleshooting/suggestions/etc..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
heat? is it getting hot? the phone has a safety to shut odd when the cpu temp reaches 110C. but i find it hard to imagine that it reaches 110C just sitting there(unless its plugged in, sitting in a non ventilated area).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jase33:
If it's doing that and its stock and unrooted then you need to take it back

forgot to remind you to return to stock & locked before taking it back....if you choose to do so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
Yeah...i don't think it gets that hot

The phone is just usually in the car..and I've had the chance to hold it right after it shuts off..i wonder if taking the case off..in case, like you said, ventilation might be the problem..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
Definitely..the root toolkit helps and i would able to flash a stock image and relock the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
just an extra bit of info in case someone googled/searched for this same problem and fell on this forum...

because after my searches, everyone that has had the same problem doesn't seem to have an answer...and now my phone, who did it a few times in the first few months...now has started to do it almost consistently...

randomly when i leave the house, it just goes to sleep and then the phone is turned off

the phone is NOT hot and it's literally minutes of being in the car or going for a walk, without bluetooth or gps or wifi on...and even when it is, sometimes it will still turn off

no pattern at all...both rooted and not, stock rom and not...stock kernel and not (have tried stock, james bond, and trinity so far)...

i'm going to try uping the min frequency and different governors to see what happens...

i will keep this thread updated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Toad:
Try to see what happens if you hold the phone screen up and drop it 1 or 2 inches.

I am currently on my 5th Galaxy Nexus from Verizon. Phone 3 and 5 had a problem of turning off in my pocket. Almost every time I took the phone out is was off. I finally discovered that any jarring movement turns the phone off. If I did anything more then gently place it on the counter the phones would shut off. This occurs with the standard battery and back and the slim extended battery and battery back. The phone is inside a Seidio Convert case and this still occurs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
it seems like there's a good chance that's what's happening...as a fresh boot/install of any rom, including stock, and any kernel, any radio, all cause it to randomly shut down. but i noticed if it's NOT in my pocket and i hold it in my hand it almost never ever shuts down...so i'm thinking this is the problem...will keep this updated..thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrlaughter:
I'm on my 4th Nexus because of "randomly" shutting down

As much as I love my rooted Nexus (4.1.1 ) full_toro_userdebug, after a couple of weeks, each phone has been shutting off randomly in my pocket or just jarring it in any way. I finally seemed to have fixed it by putting a small block of tissue paper the size of the battery between the case back and the battery.

It has allowed me to drop it from an inch or two above a wood table as drop it....It is 24 hours now. I will update with any change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boardrx182:
Any updates from you? I am having the same problem in that my screen will turn off and I can't get it to turn back on without pulling the battery. I can tell the phone is still on because LED notifications will continue to blink but the power button doesn't do anything.

Interestingly I've noticed lately that after I pull the battery and restart the phone, it seems to reset the battery stats. For example, tonight my phone has been off the charger for about 2 hours but after I just had to pull the battery, it booted back up and battery stats say it's been on battery for 24 minutes only.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JeG81:
had this problem for several weeks: as long as i used the phone everything went fine but when i put it to sleep and stuff it in my pocket it shut itself down every second or third time.

your tipp with the tissue paper did the trick for me, no shutdown in the last five hours. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] husko:
Has anyone found the reason for this happening? first time in eight months, my nexus turned down. first few turning offs phone has been hot and battery normal (70 ,80%). the last time the phone was cold and empty battery (although it was full). i am on custom rom (AOKP).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colinlbc:
I suspect the phone is turning itself off because of a bad battery connection. I've had my GN for several months and it has just started turning itself off whenever it is in my pocket, and occasionally when I'm holding it. It all began after about a 4 foot drop which caused no visible damage. Reseating the battery appears to help. I hope it's this simple for everyone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] husko:
i do not think that the battery connection is here a problem... when the phone was ˝off˝ i tried to call myself from mothers phone and everything was normal (in speaker of her phone it was ringing), but my phone was dead... nothing..

so i came to the conclusion that the phone is not exactly turned off, but the screen is and the power button does not work also. that is why i cant ˝turn on˝ my phone.

looks like the phone is in some kind of standby, but i dont know why this happens, maybe it is rom issue... i switched from AOKP to CM10 and so far (4 days) the phone has not been turned off by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beelaxter:
battery connection for me

I agree with the battery connection guess. I had the same problem of it turning off randomly and it hasn't happened to me since I cleaned off the connectors on both the battery and the phone. Good luck to everyone else!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aecabanaboy:
i am having the same problem

do you also have dream scene enabled? i have noticed that when i have my nexus plugged in and the dream scene is on that it is hard to get it just to the main passcode screen upon hitting power button.

now the phone just randomly turns off , while in the middle of charging sitting completely still on my desk.

wtf is going on with this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentaculus:
I had this issue when I first got the GN.

Unfortunately, I think it is a permanent hardware issue (at least it was for me). Not due to software/firmware or anything like that. I would get random reboots, sometimes once a week, sometimes twice a day.

I finally had to make use of the warranty and send it into verizon. I got a new one, and it works great! Not a single random shutdown or reboot.

Can anyone point me to instructions to unlocking the bootloader on mac. Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jnichols959:
Follow this thread and use Hex Fiend to edit the file on mac. I did it and it worked very well. If you're new to hacking android you'll have to find info on how to get adb setup. You'll also need fastboot but you can get that from the HTC dev site while following the unlock steps. If you're not familiar with using Terminal on the mac you'll need a little more help.

Let me know what you need and I'll try to help if I can. Are you on the stock firmware (1.73.502.1)?

It does have gorilla glass. I'm using my Sensation without a screen protector for 8 months now and have only a small, light scratch, that's only noticeable at a certain angle in the light. And I've dropped it a few times on its face.
[HTC Sensation] You_got_owned123:
Specs state that it does but I personally think it's no better than other glass. I forgot my keys were in the same pocket as my phone, took it out and found scratches afterwards.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
It definitely is. No screen protector for something like 7 months. The only scratched are microsized and only visible if I tilt the phone quickly in direct sunlight with the screen off.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Gorilla Glass is still glass, don't forget. It's much tougher than ordinary glass, but if you throw the phone around, don't expect it to not scratch or crack.

may be, but i did not test. i dont past surface protection, there was no scratch yet

I guess I need new boot loader installed also.
[Acer Iconia A500] strongergravity:
You will want to upgrade your bootloader first for sure. Most roms are going to not work with the Honeycomb bootloader in the near future. Go ahead and put version 7 of the bootloader on, so future bootloader enhancements can be flashed via CWM. Once you install the bootloader, install CWM again, pick a rom & enjoy! Test drive them all.

To upgrade to tegraowners ICS ROM or FLEXREAPER (not extrem vetsion) is no new bootloader needed!

You can upgrade the bootloader later if you like.

[Acer Iconia A500] OldGaf:
Really?

I have 4.0.3 and have just rooted.

I have downloaded tegraowners ICS to my sd and the latest galls.

Are you saying i can just boot and do the power + vol deal to install this rom and keep my bootloader stock?

Yes! But if it is the newst tegraowners ICS recovery 1.7.3 is required.

[Acer Iconia A500] OldGaf:
Can I install 1.7.3 with Acer recovery installer?

No! Only a basic version but with that you can flash then 1.7.3.

[Acer Iconia A500] OldGaf:
So.... you mean i can use ari to install an older ver of clockwork and then with that i can install 1.7.3?

This was rooted with thund3r's method.

1. Which ver of cwm should i install with ari so I can then install touch 1.7.3

2. Is there anything I am not doing that i need to?

3. Is there a stock one I can download and install with Ari if I need it back?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Im making this thread because I havent seen any other threads with the similar topic, maybe some more advanced users can spread there knowledge around about a2sd scripts or the like.....Ill share my experiences

Recently I wanted to give the new rom by neko95 (Razr-UI and GTR 6.0)....With Razr UI, I flashed the rom than went directly into recovery, partitioned the sdcard for 512mb and 32mb swap size, than for safety precautions, I rebooted into recovery and went ahead with flashing darktremor a2sd script, than I rebooted again....It took some time b4 it booted up but once it did, everything started force-closing, the entire UI was force-closing. I than tried once more with a clean wipe on everything, fresh install of the rom, re-partitioned the sdcard and attempted with using Ungaze, this time it never booted to UI, it just continued to bootloop with sound.....

I generally use S2E, as I feel it's moving everything to sdcard and free's up my phone internal space and allows for maximum applications, occasionally I will use ungaze and in which case I use Link2SD.Ive also used A2SDGUI as well when using Darktremors a2sd script...

Could some explain in detail what ext2/3/4 might be, which is better to use...I know by default Cyanogenmod Recovery use's ext3 or ext4 while amonra uses ext2....For these roms that have a2sd scripts already, what is the correct procedure on how to use these scripts ? Maybe an user could give some detailed explanations as to what a2sd scripts are, and how to use them....Which swap size is the best to use, how much would you recommend using if you have a 2/4 or 8gb sized sdcard, which script do you think is better ? Ive never used a rom without wanting to use these a2sd scripts because well the phone's internal storage is so small and after 5 applications installed without scripts it seems to slow the phone down drastically....Let's make this a tutorial from someone who's an expert on a2sd scripts
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
to add on to what I said, some roms seem to have difficulty with these scripts, maybe it's the user in which case im pretty sure it is, but than again..with OMFGB i was able to use Darktremors with no problems
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dynamite33:
In such case please help me with link2sd.

I linked all my apps using link2sd but still after sometime my phone memory is full?

But according to link2sd all are in sd.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
I wish I could help you but I cant, I dont know enough about a2sd scripts to help anyone....Ive looked everywhere for an answer and cant seem to find it.....I know one of your roms says in changelog that a2sd is included, but im not sure how to use it...S2E is simple, you partition sdcard, flash script (darktremors) than reboot, go back into s2e application select the boxes ( I check em all) than reboot, after the 2nd reboot, everything is moved to sdcard. I dont know much about link2sd, I havent seen a tutorial on that application or anything
