[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
Yeah I am in Dubai right now, can buy one next week. What about the Xperia S? Its getting ICS this month too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoursTruly98:
I'd reccomend you either the sgs III or HTC One X.
[HTC One X] Castor1987:
I've got my HTC a month ago,Europe version,Grey.No issues at all hardware or software,i stil can't belive the build issues people complain to One x.Maybe i got a good build.Everything works smooth,all in all perfect 5 but!!!I love my phone!Whenever i record video or audio,no matter what quality or resolution,if there is background music,something like pop,electro something a bit bassy and rich sound,the sound is all mesed up.Its not even,its high pitched,its highs are all right,but mids and low are garbage.Its frustrating to delete video just for the sound,could there be a fix in the update,is it only my device,what can i do to fix it,or should i give it back.It is very frustrating,video quality is epic,but audio recording is crap,glitchy,cracky.Even my Desire S has better audio recording.I tought it's that crapy speakerphone,but it isn't.This doesn't change if i open it from another device like my PC.Please help me iam at my wits end with this...
[HTC One X] agrix:
Facing the same issue!

Whenever I make video recording some thing on a houseparty it seems like it tries to balance the sound somehow,.. on my computer it sounds like 8 kbit quality or somethig
[HTC One X] Farsite:
yeah I got that too, just tried recording my sons band and the sound is awful
[HTC One X] drhunter:
I had the same issue when I enabled stereo recording in the camera app.

The only resolution was to disable the setting.
[HTC One X] Bobbeh84:
I too have noticed the same problem, video I took at a wedding was terrible. I am wondering if it is because generally when taking a video my hand seems to cover the microphone hole at the bottom, will need to take some more videos to verify.
[HTC One X] htckt:
Same here, overly compressed and squashed sound that doesn't make sense in a few videos.

I wish there was some way to get rid of all the Beats Audio and audio output files and replace them with the galaxy or sony xperia ones, unless it is a hardware compressor in which case it is a total design failure.
[HTC One X] Farsite:
I dont think its covering the mic with the hand. I took care not too, using 2 different one x's and they were both the same. I have turned off the stereo recording now and will try again next time
[HTC One X] drhunter:
Also, there's an option to enhance sound when you play videos through the gallery app. This has made things sounds strange for me too.
[HTC One X] BSmart:
Same issue here.. Recorded at a party But the Sound is terrible.. My iPhone loving Friends will Make fun of My One X if I post this.. any Solution yet?
[HTC One X] Farsite:
i'm on stock and have now tried just about everything possible to get reasonable sound recording in a party (music and talking and glasses etc) setting and its just not possible. :(
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
It's the built in noise cancellation feature during video recording that is doing this. No way around it AFAIK.
[HTC One X] agent.m:
The same problem was in the HTC sensation. Still not forgiven HTC about that as they boasted stereo sound recording. HTC desire had similar poor recording but that got sorted in an update. Here's a thing to try. What happens when you use voice recording? Is the sound still poor? Gonna try now.
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
If the noise cancellation microphone is causing all of this there is a way to disable the alternative mic (in this case the noise cancelling microphone) with a simple build.prop command
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Show us your secrets :angel:
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
I haven't tried this out yet but if any want to try this go ahead

add these lines at the end of your build.prop

htc.audio.alt.enable=0

htc.audio.hac.enable=0
[HTC One X] eltoffer:
has anybody try this??? my phone is out of my reach right now
[HTC One X] BSmart:
I'm on a stock Rom, how Can a I edit those Properties?
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
You would need to be rooted. Open build.prop with a file explorer or text editor then add the lines in

I used the headset that came with my phone to record. I just need to transfer to my studio setup to test results with and without headset so I know it's no placebo. Also ordered a mini mic off eBay. Had one for my iPod but can't find it should come on Friday. If it works ill be using this.
[HTC One X] BSmart:
Love to hear whether it works..
[HTC One X] agent.m:
So yeah external mic is the way forward for now in my honest opinion. Stereo recording with the provided headset(with built in mic) gave me more bass recording in mono gave a flatter sound. The obvious disadvantage is noise picked up whilst holding headset. I suggest peeps try it out for a more balanced opinion. When I get the mini mic ill test it out.
[HTC One X] agent.m:
Some quick videos tests with headset mic

Just uploaded some quick videos. 2 with inbuilt mic and 2 with the headset. With and without stereo recording.

Inbuilt mic - stereo recording

Inbuilt mic - stereo off

Headset with mic - stereo recording

Make of it what you will its not a forensic experiment but for me it's better than waiting for HTC to do something.
[HTC One X] agent.m:
I got the mini mic. It seems to work better. Need to check it in the studio but I'm happy with using this just need to test in a live situation.

I was wondering how to root the Huawei U8651T also known as the T-mobile Prism that was recently released.

I've tried using SuperOneClick, but it always freezes on step 7. I've also tried manually applying the zergRush exploit, but it seems to have been patched either on my phone or just Android 2.3.6.

Is it possible to root this phone using the same method as for Huawei U8650 Sonic?

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
It sounds like the phones imei needs to be unlocked, the phone is probably still locked to T-Mobile, whose network overrides apn settings. Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont believe flashing a new from unlocks the device for use with a different network. That would explain why the stock from asks for a unlock code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Yes.

See change to top of post #10.

Especially if you're using a non-TMO SIM.

What type of ATT SIM are you using?

I'm still surprised it didn't save the APN, but try unlocking it first.

I used these folks when I did mine. Leave your phone on. They'll email you in a couple of days with the code.

http://www.worldgsmcodes.com/huawei/Huawei-Astro-U8651-network-unlock-code/

$15. Fill out the info on the right.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daac87:
ok i was under the impresion that the custom ROM would do that. so im guessing there is no way around but to use a 3rd party service to get an unlock code?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
A rooted ROM will have root, but not unlock the phone.

Do you have a root browser on either of these ROMs? I'm betting no. And since, at the moment, you have no data access, you can't use Play to get one. So the 3rd party reads the root info from your phone with the unlock code. EDIT: I just realized that even if you do have a root browser it wouldn't help because I have no idea where the code is stored for this phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
The only other possibility would be to have the person who gave you the phone call T-Mobile and ask for the unlock code. If the account is in good standing they will usually give you the unlock code for free from what I understand, but I've never done it. Other than that you're stuck with a third party

EDIT: http://www.androidcentral.com/unlocked

This should help clear up the confusion about unlocking :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
So you're saying the phone came with bootloader unlocked and we buy a code for SIM unlock?... Apparently you're right because daac87 did all this w/o unlocking. I thought there was a "fastboot unlock oem" line around somewhere but I can't find it. I unlocked before I did anything. I think. This was ages ago and I forget...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Looks like it, unless the custom recovery batch file does the boot loader unlock first and then flashes the recovery? It is definitely one of those two though otherwise we'd most likely all be here with bricked phones, or stuck with unmodded ones... Learn something new everyday huh? Btw I also did this without unlocking as well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
U8651 says:

echo Finsh flash, waiting for reboot...

- erase and flash - nothing else. I thought there was another line in there but darned it I can find it anywhere. Check your recovery.bat on your computer (edit it).

Yup mine says the exact same thing. So long story short it looks like these phones come with the bootloader unlocked, otherwise my phone wouldn't be working (theoretically)....Weird. :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
yup!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daac87:
which means that theoretically i shouldn't need a third party to unlock... but i do... right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Not quite! Your handset is sim locked to tmobile, meaning it will only take sim cards from T-Mobile until it is sim unlocked, after which it will work with any compatible GSM sim card such as your at and t one. Your best bet is either the site Kris posted or call T-Mobile, either way you will need to be on the stock rom for this so you can put the unlock code in.

An unlocked boot loader has nothing to do with carrier compatibility, rather it allows unsigned code( such as a custom rom) to be run, but this is unrelated to your problem. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
is that true? I suppose!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
I'm not 100% sure, but its not bringing it up in cyanogen for daac87. Since the carriers are the ones who lock the sim down its a safe bet that it must be done on their rom!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
So apparently the phone must be at stock and on for the 3rd party to find it.

@daac87: when you get it unlocked, let's get the APN working under stock, and note what the APN's contents are before going back to 7.2 ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daac87:
will do

Rooted and Cyanogen on Tmobile Phone without SIM unlock

Based on what I saw at Posts #201 and following, I went ahead and worked through Post #10 on my T-Mobile Prism without unlocking the SIM. It worked just fine. The first time I rebooted after flashing Cyanogen, I sat through the Cyanogen boot screen for a minute or two, and then the screen just went black--much as described in post #136. Pulled battery and rebooted again with same result (cyanogen boot didn't take as long, but same black screen after). Went back and did all the steps again. Applied update, wiped data, flashed 7.2 and the three fixes. Rebooted and it worked great.

I did call T-Mobile, and they did say they would email me an unlock code within 24 hours. I just decided to try rooting without it after I read #201, as I'm not trying to use the phone with a different carrier.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
