[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
I was stock before the ICS update, and the sync option was not grayed out, then ICS came out i did the upgrade OTA and now the sync option is grayed out.... i have read on other forums of the same issue.

Just out of curiosity check yours and let me know if it is gray'd out as well..

BTW the email sync options still work... but "no can do" via USB
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:

i think you can go to google.com > login > then go to google contacts> download in some sort of file, i did this recently. hope it helps :D
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
Thank but i just want to be able to use a USB cable to Sync my doc's like i did before the ICS update, frustrating :(

I just tried removing all my email accounts from Sync , but the Tab is still gray'd out....
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Could you clarify please? It seems to me that you may be using Acer Sync to sync contacts and that folder but you haven't mentioned it.

If you are using Acer Sync, then it's possible you need to get a new version if possible, though it seems to not have been updated recently.

If you haven't used Acer sync then please go into detail about what and how you go about syncing your tablet.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
how about using airdroid?
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
I have update all software and ever re-set , nothing , all i want is a simple USB sync to my computer...why is Acer making this so difficult to achieve..
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
Bump, anyone found a way to fix this yet ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
If you're talking about Acer Sync, then you're out of luck because Acer Sync is not compatible with ICS currently. I don't think they will be updating it as I see no Acer Sync on their flagship Android device atm (usually when they have the intention of updating apps, you'll see them on the most expensive devices asap).

My advice to you would be to attempt workaround solutions. I keep folders synced through the use of Box, Dropbox, Evernote and Sugarsync - mostly through Dropbox though as that is easiest and best suits me. Sugarsync may be better for you as that will automatically download the files to your tablet. Dropbox allows you to see the file and download it by using or selecting to download it. I keep my emails and calendars synced through the use of Gmail and Google Calendar.

If your problem is that you don't have or don't want to use Wifi to sync, I'm sure you can find some USB syncing PIM app on the Play Store.

I know, this is probably not what you want to hear.

Good Luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] DOOM12:
Well I have right now ICS OTA 4.0.3 and and use DejaOffice for sincronize whit Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks I left the use of AcerSync since I have Honeycomb 3.2, DejaOffice is good to sincronize via USB and WIFI it´s not free but worth the cost.
[HTC One X] Synoptex:
Good day.

I am about 2 years on my HD2 running MIUI rom and am very happy with it, however always searching for a new phone. All is good except the internal storage always get full )) And the new HTC One X looks perfect for me, thats what I want.

Have read a lot of topics here regarding the battery life and this looks not as good... so just to ask has anybody switched from HTC HD2 to HTC One X and what the difference in battery life you noticed? Is it better comparing with HD2 or worse if you use it the same way?

I can get 2 days on my HD2 on MIUI rom with a few usage (30 min internet, 20 min calls, 5 sms, push/15 min). On normal usage I get 1 full day. (30 min GPS WAZE, 60 min internet, 30 min calls, push/15 min)
[HTC One X] h00py:
Never used a HD2 but the one x screen is a monster battery drain. I've never got anywhere near 2 days with any roms unless I just keep it in my pocket and don't use it lol. I see limited battery life as a trade off for the brilliant screen.

Might be worth asking on the galaxy s3 forum about their battery life?
[HTC One X] pixiedixie:
I have made the same move, moved from extreme hyperdroid HD2 to HOX (1.29.xxx.11) two months ago, and here is what I have found so far.

As many HOX owners say here, HOX is a battery eater, mainly due to its huge screen and 40nm multi core processor.

Even with an extra 570mAH juice, it may not last for whole day on heavy use, as the companion core won't save the juice while the phone is in use. On the other hand if you are not a heavy user as you have mentioned above, probably you won't have to worry about the battery life.

On a direct comparison between the two :

1. Battery

With the same usage amount while I commute by train (about 70 min of screen on, music and web browsing), HD2 left with 65% of battery while HOX had 74%.

2. Signal Strength

Both WiFi and 3G signal strengths are somewhat better than HD2. I'm on the same Optus network and where HD2 couldn't get the signal, HOX could get at least 1 bar.

3. Screen, weight and other performance

No need to mention it, they are not in the same league. HOX is lighter, bigger, brighter, clearer, faster and more stable. No need for overclocking, under voltaging, testing different kernels etc.

Cons : As the development of HOX is still in an early stage, it may have some glitches, eg. SD card storage problem which is fixed in .11 firmware etc. However I'm sure such wrinkles will be ironed out soon.
[HTC One X] Synoptex:
pixiedixie, thanks for that. I well understand that HOX is a great battery eater, but as I can see from your post the battery will last a bit longer with the same tasks comparing to HD2. That's good, cause nobody wants to downgrade ))

Well mentioning the development, I think that will be solved sooner or later. You know... HD2 was running WinMo 6.5 before... ))
[HTC One X] eddyhsline:
Hi mate, waiting for my HOX, to arrive, have a Sensation at the moment, which has the energy Rom, but son needs new phone sick of the HD2 (Energy Rom also) so a phone shuffle, I am also on Optus, what's your opinion of the HOX ?, and what's it like on Optus for Data ?
[HTC One X] manishmatu:
Had a HD2 for 2.5 yrs ... first, on Hyperdroid GB ... then, Tytung ICS. Bought my HOX a month back.

Overall, HOX is better in all respects.

Specifically,

1. Battery: I used to get a full day from HD2. Charge before sleeping, disconnect in morning. Same for HOX. Medium user. Get 17 hours with around 4.5 hrs screen time, 3G always on.

2. Wifi much faster in HOX.

3. Screen much better, especially in sunlight. Much faster in opening big apps. Smoother. No lags.

4. Have read about various issues in HOX. I have a perfect HOX.

5. Stock ROM in HOX is excellent. Don't find the need to flash.

HD2 was an awesome phone ... with Android. I liked it. However, HOX seems better in all respects.

cheers,

- manish
[HTC One X] Synoptex:
Just to move it a little up? Anybody else?
[HTC One X] macs18max:
Same here 2.5years with HD2/hyperdroidcm7/fikret.... was happy with hd2.... but now my hands are scratching... HOX vs S3... so confused...

hox = good looks,good screen,less than s3 battery life..

VS

s3 = better battery, sd-slot, no heating problem,

think i would wait for 2 more week for S3 to be displayed in store.

Than I will choose.. But Still..... SO CONFUSED...

It's weird.... I start on android 1.5years back, kept became a flasholic coz it wasnt perfect. 3 months back I stopped as I found the perfect combination of hyperdroidcm7 and fikret kernel... so i stopped flashing... and now I'm bored of the phone... Sometimes I wonder if I want to purchase my phone just to keep installing custom rom... lol..
[HTC One X] sygys:
battery using internet on wifi can be compared to about 1% per minute. while downloading or playing heavy 3d games its aprox 2 ~ 4 % per minute.

battery is very poor, and the tegra 3 is power hungry... these two do not combine at all!
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
I am getting better battery life in my hox . 18 hours off the charger and auto brightness on and 1.30 hours of on screen and 30 min of voice call and still 56 percent left.
[HTC One X] Synoptex:
Thanks for the info, guys! That's what I want to hear. ))

sygys, strange to hear... my old HD2 with 3 years old battery loses around... hmm, 1% of... I don't know - 5 minutes or more of internet. When gaming, Angry Birds e.g. that's around 1% per 1-2 minutes.

May be thats more reasonable for you to take your device for repairs if the warranty is not void?
[HTC One X] hengsheng120:
I found that it's very dependent on your rom and kernel and how efficient it's at standby. Here's my usual HD2 battery life on light-medium usage. I would think the one x would last longer if its rom and kernel was just as optimized.
[HTC One X] rickyvee:
HD2 > HOX

Had an HD2 rooted to headyhoneybadger CM7

A marvelous beast.

Solid as a rock, loved it.

Had extended battery. Heavy user, internet web sites, email, facebook, texts

With the extended battery always had a full day's heavy use.

Got a HOX.

Can't get an extended battery, nowhere to put it! ;)

Recharging throughout the day.

Got an Anker Astro 3 (10000 mAh battery) In case no car or wall socket around.

Phone gets hot sometimes, really hot. Once, while charging, too hot to keep charging!

Haven't felt the need to root. (don't feel the need for titanium, don't cheat apps, backup all my settings and data anyway. Use Deja Office w/ Outlook)

87 apps

Runs faster than, well Fast. Screen is a gem.

Running Nova Launcher.

Got ICS Enhanced Ringer Control to fix the ganging of ring and notification sound levels bug in ICS

I Loved my HD2, sad when I Ebay'ed it.

The guy who won it way buying it for his brother.

He had one. He also had bought one for his cousin in Guatemala.

ICS is great. HOX is a great phone, very stable.

I made the right move. Battery, heat, and all, it's a great machine.

I have owned the following HTC Phones:

Under AT&T (and Cingular):

SX56

SX66

8125

X7500

X7510

Under T-Mobile:

HD2

Back to AT&T:

One X
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsi:
I am in Chile with a Galaxy SII on Entel. I just upgraded to ICS here and seem to be having a problem with getting certain web pages to load properly and a couple of apps that use web services to get data if I am connected using the cell service on 3g for example. If I am connected to wifi then everything works fine. This occurs when using the built in browser. If I use Opera web pages loads correctly.

I first noticed this problem a few days ago after I had loaded Proxydroid in preparation for my trip to another country so that I may use another carrier which limited data use to browsing only, no other types of webapps. It seemed to be the problem as I was also not getting ads blocked by adfree. I uninstalled it and all seemed fine. But now it has started again.

Yes my phone is rooted using the ICS CWM script method mentioned on these forums.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonk83:
So for some reason, every night (overnight) the phone will lose signal (perhaps the strength isn't the best in my bedroom) so when I wake up I have no signal.

Unfortunately, when I then venture out, the phone will not pick up a signal again. Its almost like it's a bug that once signal is lost it has real trouble finding it again.

The only solution is to reboot. Setting airplane mode on and off again doesn't help.

Its starting to annoy me, has anyone else seen this behaviour?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salada2k:
Hey mate. Have you tried a factory reset? What bout flashing the Omega ROM? (Has a different radio inside).

Also, have you tried changing from Auto Select Operator to explicitly choosing Optus? I know Optus only has one network (as opposed to Telstra who have Telstra and 3Telstra) but just something that sprung to mind as worth trying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonk83:
Hi mate. I imagine its definitely a radio/kernel issue so I'm hoping a custom rom will fix it.

A mate of mine said he had the same problem with his Nexus when that first came out.

I'll have a look at your suggestions, thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonk83:
Yup, every night.

Apparently the issue with the Nexus was to do with the phone putting the radio to sleep after a while, then never waking it up until rebooted.

Annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonk83:
In case anyone's actually reading this, I had the phone replaced yesterday and this morning I still had signal, so that's promising. I'll keep an eye on it.

Look at this post«http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210343», it works! But, I used this aplication « Swapper for Root

Look at this «http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694023» those tips might help you!!
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
no, without fastboot, the only effect is placebo one :D

of course if you speak for this swapper for root:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper

however, the swapper for root, can use swap (if enabled in the kernel, hence fastboot needed) without special partition ...

there are some myths about swap and dedicated special partition.

true is that swap can be over regular file, and even then avoiding the filesystem overhead (hence, the need to create the file before to mkswap it )
[Milestone XT720 General] Euzhan:
Humm I think it works with out fastboot. And this is not a placebo effect. Just try it and you Will see a big amélioration.
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
can you post the output of

when it seems that there is effect ?

p.s.

adb shell free

can be used too
[Milestone XT720 General] Euzhan:
peshovec, the swap values are at 0. But, I feel like my phone gain speed... I dont know why normally there should be no amelioration because de fastboot is not there. What is comcache? There is a way to enable that? tel us if you know, thanks!

[Milestone XT720 General] kid_211292:
thanks :) and after fastboot, what I have to do more to run the swap?
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
probably the root swaper changes some vm settings (which usually are different if swap is to be used, that without swap)..

about compcache, mio has excellent writing somewhere in the forum...

in short compcache compress some region of the memory, so you will gain slightly more ram, but a little bit slower, badly kernel with swap support is needed too
[Milestone XT720 General] Euzhan:
Fastboot with swapper 2 work.
[Milestone XT720 General] Euzhan:

Same issue here. My HOX and 4s have much better reception.. I'm gettting around -100 dBm which from memory was same as the iphone 4 death grip territory. I'm hoping its just a faulty handset and not the S3 in general. Doesnt seem to be a wide spread issue though, I've read plenty of people saying their reception and call quality is the nest they've ever had. This is encouraging. I've created a thread about it here. Feel free to post your dBm results. Anything around -100dBm and above is not good (in areas where you've had better reception on other handsets in the past). I held a HOX side by side on the same network and it's reception was around 20dBm stronger.

Format your SD card to FAT32 and make sure this partition is set as the primary partition. If you haven't yet created an EXT3/4 partition on your SD card then you won't have anything to worry about. If you didn't understand a word of that, then chances are you just need to format it and not worry about a thing :p

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] powerofthink:
1- copy folder (Android) to SD Card .

2- Boot in MAGDLR powering on your phone while you press the power button until MAGDLR appears.

3- Select "SERVICES"

4- Select "BOOT SETTINGS"

5- Select "AD SD Dir"

6- Select the "ANDROID" folder or the folder where you dropped the rom.

7- Now select "BOOT AD SD" and wait boot

Nah, I can do that, but I can't choose the AD SD Dir in MAGLDR. CWM seems to be an exception somehow. If your card happens to be a Kingston 16GB Class 4 then it definitely won't work, I'm afraid. Dunno about other types of SD card though.
