[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Im on an ICS ROM, can I do a directboot with mobile odin to the EG4-EL29-directbootCMW-v3.tar.md5 and Then do a complete wipe and flash the el26.cmw Then Flash the new ICS ROM and gapps? The correct gapps for that specific rom of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
You can flash from within the direct boot CWM kernel, no need to flash the el26 cwm kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Thanks man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VikingoRMCF:
Probably a stupid question, and sorry if it's repetitive, but I would rather be safe then sorry...

I too am on a ICS rom (AOKP), by flashing direct boot CWM in PC odin... I can get to another ICS Rom, but I still need to Wipe Factory/data, cache, and dalvik, before flashing another rom in CWM (i.e. PA 1.3 and hybrid apps), correct?

Or in this case, it's prefered I go to El26

Does anyone else's phone actually work? Just seems like there are a lot of problems going around.

True that to gsiii thread
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
You should have seen the transformer prime forums when that launched. Damn that was bad and not even a phone..

I just avoid the problem threads. I have no issues that i notice so i figure why go looking for them. If they are pointed out to me I'll be annoyed even if it previously didn't affect me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Exactly. Put me down in the zero-issues column. If I notice something, I'll search for a solution, but I won't go chasing after device hypochondria. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 1BadHEMI:
Agreed. I've had mine since May 24th and have had 0 issues.

The sad thing is is everyone will jump on board in a problem thread, but then again, those that are enjoying there new toy and have 0 issues won't post a thread just to say this is awesome.

With that being said, we are still within the first 2 weeks of launch, and only 2 days past the official launch date. The dev community is getting geared up, and there are still a lot of great dev's waiting to get their devices.

Evryone wants a perfect phone I been thru a lot release from the OG evo, to the 3d, iPhone 4s, and galaxy nexus, and man they all the same... Do you have dust under screen? Is your screen warm or blue? Do you see lines? Does your speaker does this?, people going over 3 iPhone or Evos and there still no happy, I seriously don't know if I'm just lucky or I really don't noticed anything cause I never had a problem like that, for example when the 3d came out they said the screen was tilted, I don't freaking now how much time you need to have to noticed that cause to me it was normal, or the "screengate" on the iPhone forums, idk man my phone is good best reception since og evo and talking and browsing the Web is amazing when you use it so I'm happy evo owner

I know I shouldn't have even bothered with my useless reply...my apologies...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
Mine would spontaneously reboot, maybe 5-10x in the first 24 hours I had it. Yes I did factory wipe. No I didn't restore any apps, root, or even install an SD card.

So I exchanged it, and this one seems solid, not a single reboot. I'm convinced there was something wrong with the first one.

With that being said, I love this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mothmansound:
I think I have a bum phone.

The stock browser disappears quite a bit. Text wrapping for the browser, gmail app and others isn't right. I have to swipe left and right to read.

Sense launcher has long reload times when exiting apps.

My screen is slightly protruded at the top right corner and the battery life for me yesterday off a full charge only lasted eight hours. Normal work day of checking emails, a few phone calls, browser look ups etc. No games or heavy use.

I'm going to exchange it as soon as I have time.

Stock not rooted or anything.

I miss the search button but have mostly got used to the dots.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjkxb2:
For quite some time now my fascinate will not connect to the computer other than for charging (no mass storage, not showing up in device manager). I can't say how many times i've installed drivers, changed cords and computers, etc. Today it finally showed up in device manager for the first time in a long time but 'Samsung Android Composide ADB interface" and 'Android composite ADB interface" show errors. It says drivers are up to date (also I just downloaded them) but there is a code 10 error saying drivers won't load. Sorry if this is too similar to other topics but any help is appreciated. I've been dying to get to CM9. Running CM7 Kang with Glitch v13.1
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
just wipe data and flash cm9...no need to odin. alot of folks seems to be having usb issues with thier devices lately....could possibly need cleaned? Thats a common place for pocket lint and other debris to build up.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtreme barton:
have you tried to update the drivers manually ?

you can choose a driver to install. Sometimes when it gets to a list of drivers and the hardware compatibility is checked it may only list one driver. If you un-check that it will give you more drivers to choose from.

If you cant find anything that works check to see if your phone is recognized in download mode.

and your sure you tried decent new cable ???
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjkxb2:
Thanks for the help. I tried your driver suggestion and it still doesn't connect. This is the fourth cable I've been on and still nothing. I can get into download mode but odin never recognizes the device. I did successfully flash CM9 though. So I guess I'm okay until I need to odin for some reason.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LXative:
I'm having the same issue as well. Until the connection issue, I was thoroughly enjoying ICS connecting.......10X quicker than GB. I have 3 different cables, updated drivers, no yellow exclamation in device manager......and all my phone will do is charge via USB. No PC or phone changes at all, just stopped working. I'm on ICS with AOPK. Still trying different methods...

Ok, just figured out mine was the USB hub the entire time. I have one built into my desk. I plugged the USB into my printer, and it connects. Hmmm, my stuff in this room went crazy during a bad storm a few weeks ago......guess it may have messed some stuff up.

Hope the OP finds his problem. Maybe try running the USB right into the back of your computer, instead of a wherever you have it running to now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Guster730:
So I have to either return/replace my HOX due to a camera problem anyway, but since the Galaxy S3 is coming out pretty soon, I'm thinking of just returning it and waiting a few weeks for the GS3. It seems the Galaxy S3 is faster on benchmarks, is there really any disadvantage to it? All benchmarks were from the international version, although the dual core in the AT&T version is claimed to be just as fast. Any opinions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Both phones will be just as fast as each other, if you ask me. The only difference is the 2gb of RAM.

But let me say this again. 2gb of RAM is unecessary for a mobile platform like Android. Not bad, but unnecessary. The only reason why Samsung put the 2gb of RAM in it is to market it as a better feature, as it can't market the processor as the average public sees dual core as average right now. 2gb of RAM is appealing to the average consumer, but for us, we know it really won't do much in terms of processing power on Android.

This is how I see it:

You want a cheap and ugly device? Get the SGIII

You want a beutiful device? Get the HOX

I don't mean to sound biased, but I'm coming from the GSII and I loved it because it was fast. Not because of the quality, but because of the speed. The fact was that I was sick of Samsungs crappy build quality; it just doesn't feel right. Thats why I jumped ship to HTC and let me say that I am very impressed.

And now that we have bootloader unlock, theres none of that "HTC sucks a$$" because even though they do in terms of giving in to AT&T's demands, firstly theres no saying that they won't do the same for the GSIII and that we won't be seeing a lot of development.

In terms of the removable battery and SD card slot, niehter of those are a problem for me. SD Card = Only if you go crazy with storing stuff. Removable battery = You won't be able to run down the battery life on this thing easily.

In my opinion, the One X is the superior device. But really, it comes down to what you want.

And don't let that whole multitasking issue fool you for the HOX. It will be remidied soon with an AOSP build of ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SilentLunatic:
I am in the same boat as you. I installed Apex launcher today and that made it a little better, then rooted and installed the vanilla messaging app, but the 8 hour or less battery life I can't handle along with HTC Sense.

I purchased mine through Amazon though....and don't exactly know how the return process works, nor will they let me get a S3. I have until the 21st to figure out how to unroot this thing and trade it in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Unroot is easy....if you unlocked the bootloader there's nothing you can do about that. It will say either unlocked or relocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
its using the same s4 chip, same phone, just more ram?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Not giving up on my One X, but more ram would be very beneficial for the One X. Sense is killing this phone. Although I'd like to have an AOKP or CM9 build....sense is nice.

And what happened with Google saying that they were gonna require all ICS phones to have the ability to run stock Holo. Did someone make that up or did Google go back on it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
One x.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Saying this since no one else has. The android 4.0 OS uses ram like windows. For android its beneficial has it makes opening apps quicker. Hence why a lot of ram is being used. Technically the gsIII will show roughly 1.5 gigs for use for the system since 400 MB will be for the GPU another 100-300 for UI rest for apps.

So far 2gb ram is a good thing. But, not always is more good. More ram equals more power equals less battery life especially if its unused. Even the heaviest user won't use more than a gig of it.

Basically how you see free ram on the HOX will be the same on the GSIII. Also The GSIII needs that ram to run all the little animations for touchwiz. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority is allocates just for SVoice and TW.

IMHO, the GSIII is step backward from forward innovation of Android 4.0. Since it wasn't deisgned for 2gb ram. The S4 is but looking at its specs 5% more power is used to run the read write to that extra gig.

Look at the power specs. Do it by match. There's less battery time to power to usage ratio on the GSIII with the ram and the amoled then with the HOX
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
If the international version had a screen as nice as our One X, I would get it in a heart beat. The Pentile is the major killer for the SGS3. Secondary to that is the design, the phone looks like something old and weak. The fact that the stateside versions got an S4 just like One X, the SGS3 just became worthless to me. The 2Gb of ram is not enough to make up for the flaws of the SGS3.

With the Exynos processor and true RGB display. I would be on the International SGS3 forums instead of One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
From what I'm reading, the GS3 camera sensor is not updated (from GNEX or GS2?), and is "last generation" technology. Samsung just made some software tweaks to copycat some of the ImageSense features, such as being able to take photos will taking video.

The proof will be in a side-by-side comparison. But its looking like the One X camera will be better than the GS3, and the camera on my phone is important to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I read that the SGS3 uses the exact same optics (sony) that the iPhone 4S has. either way, the cameras will be very close to comparability. Either way, 95% of the pictures that are taken by the average consumer will be of their puppy/baby and blasted over facebook.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Guster730:
I don't use the camera all that much. Also is there a huge difference between the pentile display on the GS3 and this one? Today is the last day I have to return the phone and I'm really tempted to go for the galaxy s3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The display on the HOX has been called the best display anyone has seen on any phone period. The Verge did a review of the SGS 3 and said that the display on the HOX is better.

IMHO the US version of the SGS 3 is the same as the AT&T HOX only with more internal RAM, an SD Card and slightly better camera.

I'm not returning my HOX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
I'm attaching a picture I put together from images I found here. It's comparing the displays of the Galaxy S, S2, and S3 phones. Unfortunately they didn't compare it to the One X, but you can at least get an idea of how much the appearance of "pentileness" is reduced (by the higher resolution) between the original S and the S3.

(The backgrounds, icons, and focus aren't identical here, but I did the best I could to put them side-by-side at a size that would not get shrunk when I upload here. You can see the full images at the link I gave.)

My impression is that hands-down, the One X has the best display you can buy, but that I can probably live with pentile at the S3's resolution, and that extra RAM is looking mighty good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] starter15:
i would definitely return the HOX if I still had that choice. The SG3 has better features and does not appear to be as crippled in terms of future software development.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Interesting, but partially true. I found an article on this below. Apparently the same sensor as the iPhone, but different optics. Sensor and optics are not the same thing. Sensor is the electronic portion, optics is the glass lens.

http://www.t3.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s3-has-same-camera-sensor-as-iphone-4s

Don't have time to look for it now, but a review I read of the GS3 described it as having a "last gen" sensor and same as previous Galaxy devices. Apparently this is not true, and the teardown definitely shows what the hardware is.

EDIT: Here's the article that called the sensor "last gen":

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s3-1078667/review/page:9#articleContent
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lucidlyseen:
Sorry, I just don't see it. The only things the SG3 has over the HOX is removable storage (not a big deal for me) and maybe the 2GB of ram. Other than that I think the HOX is superior in every other way.

Also for those of us who actually care about design and how your phone actually looks, there simply is no comparison there, the HOX was clearly designed and the SG3 seems very average in terms of looks and the wording of their colors like "pebble" blue, won't save them there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
IMO the major difference between the screens is the resolution, though. I don't really see a lack of "pentileness". I think the thing is just that S1 and S2 looked horrible because of their low resolutions, regardless of pentile display. People see a Samsung phone with a higher resolution finally, and don't know what to do about it. Pentile is still there just as much as before.

As for the 2 GB of RAM, if you want to degrade your battery power for unnecessary RAM, go for it.

I'm not going to be dumb and say the SGS3 is a bad phone, but both phones are so close it's going to come down to personal preference for many. The way I see it, the benefits to the SGS3 are an SD card slot and removable battery, while the HOX sports a nicer display and is arguably "better looking" (obviously looks are subjective, but I've heard way more people rave about the looks of the HOX, and I've yet to hear anyone say they DON'T like the way it looks... have heard a lot of people say they don't like the look of the SGS3, and I agree that it is underwhelming at the very least, especially considering all the hype).

So, if you can live with using the cloud for storage, and don't have an issue with appx 15-16 hrs of battery life under normal usage with around 4 hrs of screen time on avg, then HOX is probably the better choice. If you need to be able to store backups of 4 ROMs on your phone and don't trust cloud networking or just don't have a good internet connection in most places, or expect to play games on your phone all day long and swap batteries without skipping a beat, or if you just plain feel that the SGS3 looks better, then SGS3 is clearly the better option for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] play2lose:
I'm kind've leaning towards the SGS 3 and returning my One X (have 3 more days for the return window) based off of battery life alone. I can not get more than 2.5 hours of on screen time, and it usually averages around 2 hours max on screen time before it's dead. I've been on stock...1.83 stock...and 1.83 Clean Rom. Battery life hasn't changed between any of the roms. This is with screen brightness set to auto, but that is a requirement for me. I hear the SGS 3 really has some great battery life. If I could get 4 hours of on screen time on my One X it would be no competition but I'm only seeing HALF of that battery life...not very good.

Anyone have some recommendations? I've ran Battery stats and cpu spy and it's sleeping like normal. best performance wifi is off. The screen seems to be taking up the most power, but if I can't keep it on auto and get more than 2 hours of on screen time I'm not sure I'll be keeping the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skenzin:
I am probably returning my HOX as well. The PHONE portion of the HOX is just poor compared to my last two phones (atrix,3gs) in regards signal, voice quality, and speakerphone. The clincher was when my wife noticed it.

That is probably the weakest thing about the phone. I also see this phone being a red headed step child with devs, due mostly to the availability issues. I'm new to HTC and i can say I don't care much for sense. It does not seem very well thought out. It just does not flow for me and comes off awkward.

I think HOX is a good device but the phone issues are inexcusable for me. Everything I've seen about touchwiz i like over Sense which just feels messy.

S3

+ better battery

+ better phone quality

+ easily replace battery when worn out

+ better dev support

- worse screen

- slightly less attractive case

ONEx

+ better screen

- poor phone quality
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
If you don't mind doing it, you should probably try exchanging it. Considering that you aren't getting close to the average screen time that others are getting, it sounds like a bad phone... unless of course you know that you're doing something wildly different (like playing games all day), but if you are it's not going to get much better on the GS3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Really? I rarely get 2.5-3 hours screen time
