same here...maybe they underclocked the CPU to squeeze a little more battery life out of this beast.

I must say since installing the update my battery appears to be lasting longer. and it was already great. true test will be tmrw.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whodat006:
As noted by folks over on the Android Central forums, the AT&T HTC One X is now receiving an over-the-air software update to version 1.85.502.3. For those keeping score at home, that's the same version that leaked a couple of weeks back in the form of an RUU (ROM Update Utility.)

AT&T One X owners can look forward to a variety of fixes in this latest update, including a solution for the intermittent Wifi drop-outs affecting many users. Here's the full change list --

-Wi-Fi Connectivity Improvement - improves operation when a device leaves Wi-Fi coverage.

-Wi-Fi Throughput (Speed Increase)

-AT&T Address Book fixes - Contacts formatting when synced to AAB

This is my 3rd android phone. I can honestly say I never saw such a blind ridiculous emphasis on benchmarks in any other forum. Such a pissing contest. What FEELS best ! Sheesh
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Does the OTA cause/require a factory reset, as the leaked installs of course did? I suspect not but just wanted to confirm and I didn't see anydirect answers to this through the thread (though it look like a fair amount of folks have done a reset after failed downloads). I have a bunch of b.s. admin encryption on my HOX due to some corporate policies that I can't safely circumvent so I want to cover my ass before forcing myself into the extra encryption efforts.

I still don't know if I'm going to do this update or just go to cleanrom...leaning towards cleanrom especially after the support expressed for that method and overall lack of enthusiasm for 1.85. I stayed srock since i wasnt initially having issues (and there was less development a few weeks back when we heard this OTA was due the 28th). Radios have kind of acted up the last week or two, especially wifi, but I worry that could actually be classic HTC antenna hardware issues covered extensively in pretty much every HTC forum on the internet :rolleyes:

Also, anyone find it odd that the phones in the recently customs-approved shipments are arriving with this update even though they been sitting around for weeks? Were the customs issues causing this OTA to be held back?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hippolicker:
Anyone else getting "server busy" when you try to check for updates? I set the day ahead 2 days and tried again. Same message. Now it says I have to wait 71 hours for update.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
They did not underclock the CPU Lol. Benchmarks are just benchmarks, don't prove **** on a phone. I've used phones that were 800 points slower on a benchmark yet felt and operated much faster than the same phone with much much higher score. I can't believe someone actually called htc about slower quadrant scores..

Not much at all.. We need a lot more help than that.

Exactly

Don't think a factory reset is required on a non rooted phone.

I haven't heard of any new hox with 1.85 from the factory. Nice to know for people who are stuck on 1.85. Rooting 1.85 just became important. The hold up on the OTA very well could have been because of apple.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] acPIZZA:
I just bought a one x last night from a corp. Store. They Saud they just got them in the morning.

Long story short, I went to root today and nothing was working. Sure enough, I'm already on 1.85... Bummer. I guess I'm waiting for someone to find root again.

Thanks... That's helpful. Maybe I do need to be on Android Central instead of XDA... As suggested by some of the "advanced users" on here...since I don't seem to be welcome here for making a simple request for a changelog on an OTA update thread.

Yikes.

I wouldn't sweat it...the only "advanced users" on here are devs as far as I'm concerned. Some people who live on here equate high post counts to knowledge...hardly the case. I have seen some serious misinformation regurgitated from some of the same "advanced users" on a frequent basis. You can always choose to ignore these people.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FZ1Darren:
same quadrant results bumping from 1.73 to 1.85. antutu cpu score went up about 11%. says cpu clock is 1512mhz. can't really tell any difference in use of phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] McQueefus:
For everyone asking for a change log here is what has changed. 1) Battery now lasts for 5 weeks on a 2 minute charge. 2) The phone now makes you Pop Tarts for breakfast. I hate to be a trolling ****ass, but it's amazing how people have a smartphone but don't know how to use Google search to find what they are looking for. :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crazylilazn:
Ok guys I'm having an issue with the update. So at first I tried updating, but it told me to connect to Wi-fi and have it remind me later. I did that and tried to update, but then it said "Unfortunately HtcDm has stopped." I restarted the phone already and it gives me the same message.

I also used the move-the-date-forward trick to stop the 24 hour time limit. I don't know if that would cause the error I'm getting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cvv1984:
Maybe I missed this, but does this update break the root, or lock bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rogerperk:
I have tried to use different programs to move and install programs on my external SD card but they say they can't see the card. Has anyone figured out a way or found an app to do this? App 2 SD says it won't work on a tab using Honeycomb.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] YBLEGAL1605:
Just announced,

Google Maps, in it's quest to battle Apple and others, is releasing an update shortly that will allow users to keep offline copies of maps for future use. You will be able to choose "favorite" locations, which like the previous Labs counterpart, will pre-cache an area. This time it will keep, and maintain copies of these stored areas.

I can't wait to enjoy this! I could care less about the data usage, but I'm looking forward to the huge amount of battery life I will be saving during the trip since I won't have to keep data on.

Yay for Google :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:
atlast, i have uninstalled because it didnt support offline maps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] toofank:
Cant wait for this! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lynx2025:
great!

Did'nt even fin an maps app that would do that is there any ? All thanks to google,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] RaananM:
Didn't maps already have this feature?

Go to settings then labs and enable it (pre cache map area) .

After that, when you press on a location and go to it's details you can download the map for offline viewing.

So all the news is bringing this from lab to a regular feature?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ochanism:
good new!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] simika:
thanks mate, just what i needed for my next trip!! didn't know about this setting :-)

great !!!

get some money. paid some 3g or 4g. than you can use online.

use smartphone and uninstall cause no offline. no point to use smartphone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeremy.chan:
what a dumb reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] NutZInTheHead:
From what I have read on multiple sources I think this will be different from just caching maps.

I think you can have offline maps on your phone permanently. But how much you can download I don't know.

It would be good if it gave you options like for example I decide to go on a holiday to Japan so I would download Japan maps before the trip via my WIFI and once I get back I could delete them to free up the space.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] RaananM:
Well, you can do just that with the lab feature.

You can dl maps of areas you want and you can manage those maps or delete them.

The maps it downloads are 10 miles square from the place you choose and you can download alot of those.

Before I go abroad in just dl the country using this and, walla, no need for data roaming when using maps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeremy.chan:
does the caching include all zoom levels?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gedster314:
Yes, they a vector based. It only has to download once and as you zoom in it recalculates and redraws.

Hopefully the new version allows for you to select larger areas at once, it was a PIA to get the LA area.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] vyaskg:

BootyShaker - the app uses your phones accelerometer and touch input to manipulate round object joggling as realistic as possible on any selected image.

[YOUTUBE]vqW6o90Rf2M[/YOUTUBE]

Features:

Create new projects using pictures from your phone gallery or taken with your camera

Add circle regions to the image

Scale and rotate the image in the design window

Run your project and make the marked circle regions wiggle by shaking the phone or by touching the screen.

Set some advanced settings for your project: gravity, damping, weight, frequency

Set overlapping circle regions to merge or overlay

Save a project

There are some similar apps out there, but it was developed without any influence of predecessors, which makes this app stand out from the rest:

Objects react to actual gravity, not just the shake gesture.

User friendly UI and easy editing

Follow BootyShaker on facebook

The app has a trial option which has almost all that you need: you can save up to three projects and add two shake objects. The trial is also ad supported, which you can get rid off for just 0.99$

Get the app from WP7 marketplace

*****UPDATE 2012.10.01*****

I am planing to finish some UI improvements and bug fixes in the middle of October. And i am looking for beta testers willing to try it out.

Please PM if you want to participate. Thank You!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Spent the afternoon updating the BIOS boot animation from here but has been edited to now show AOKP 4.0.4 (instead of 2.3.6) and some other small alterations to bring up to date.

Instructions

1.Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount the storage card for file transfer.

2.Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.

3.Unmount USB storage and launch the file browser of your choice on your phone.

4.Browse to /system/media, copy the existing bootanimation.zip file from there and paste it somewhere safe on your SD card.

5.Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new bootanimation.zip and copy it.

6.Browse to /data/local and paste the bootanimation.zip file there to override the default system boot animation without replacing it.

OR

7.Browse to /system/media and paste the bootanimation.zip file there.

8.If you are using Super Manager, you will have to enable its root function first from the settings. Furthermore, you may need to mount the /system partition as read-write first too upon entering it.

Hope all enjoy!

Hi, I'm running stock XXLPF 4.0.3 rom, rooted with CWM.

when i went to /system/media directory, i do not see bootanimation.zip there. instead i see wack of qmp file. i do notice a bootanimation.zip on /data/local

placed the dl in both location with no luck. any suggestion?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Try the new zip that ive uploaded this morning.

I was having similair problems and not sure i packed it right as a zip file.

Working fine now on 4.0.3 here in system\media.

The new zip ive slowed down a little bit to enjoy the animation more!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shuweee:
Thanks dude.. im gonna give that a try. any idea why i do not see a bootanimation.zip in my /system/media dir? as i mentioned i see a lot of qmg files i.e. bootsamsung.qmg but nothing relate to bootanimation.zip

i wonder if stock XWLPF or XWLPG support custom boot animation?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

placed bootanimation.zip on /system/media and it didnt work at all. again i'm on stock XWLPF/XWLPG currently trying out to see which one i like and both failed to take bootanimation.zip in system/media. am i doing something wrong here?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ToucherCD:
I will try, what is the power on.zip :confused:

wow I tried it on cm9 4.0.4, its works flawlessly. I used D4's Bootanimation app for change.. Search it install, backup current, load new than apply. Gotcha :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shuweee:
it seems though STOCK ICS ROM doesnt support bootanimation.zip?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mnzt42yd:
ok kinda answers half the problem,1/2 sorted whats to be done with the poweron does it get put in same folder extracted converted placed in another folder ??? or is this a new guessing game (as it would be nice to get the sound working with the animation) which is very cool
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Hi,

1. Download the poweron.wav file from the 1st post and place on sd card.

2. Navigate to system/etc using rootexplorer and rename the exisiting poweron.ogg to poweron.ogg.bak (as a backup)

3. Now copy and paste the poweron.wav into the same location (system/etc)

4. Reboot and see if this works

5. If not rename the poweron.wav to poweron.ogg

Attached a screenshot to help -
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mnzt42yd:
thanks for quick response was weird though id done search for poweron (root explorer) but id wasent able to find it ( now i know that was me just being "special" ) but once id an idea where to look for it sorted very quickly, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read and reply to and helping sort it out
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shuweee:
Jr.. what kernel are u using?

this is indeed strange that i do have bootanimation.zip in /system/etc as well as poweron.ogg. took a look at the png files in the bootanimation. it is no where close to the default samesung one that im getting right now when booting up. so i guess stock kernel does not support bootanimation.zip?

gracias..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Im on VK rom and using siyah kernel. Stock should also take the bootanimation if the files are put in the correct place -

bootanimation.zip goes in system/media

poweron.wav(or .ogg) goes in system/etc
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shuweee:
Unfortunately STOCK i'm using XWLPG/LPF doesnt. placed the zip in the right location with no luck.

downloaded CF-root for XWLPG, flash the zImage using K-TOOL. Woola.. bootanimation now working :)

Thanks for ur BIOS, i gone a long way just wanting this boot animation. thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Jrhoop:
Sorry i should have made myself clearer - stock rom .........but also with a supporting bootanimation kernel. ie CF root in this case.

Glad you got it working in the end.

Your battery temp shouldnt get real hot. Your cpu can go to those temps but the environment may cause the cpu temp to exceed what is safe/normal. The way I see it, use setcpu and underclock to 800-1000 mhz max or so while youre in there and monitor your cpu and battery temp. If they get too warm, take it out!

I used to always take nice long, hot showers with my old MyTouch 3g without incident. When I upgraded to the GSII, I did the same for a while. But then the phone started having some weird issues, the mic didn't work anymore, and when opened it up I noticed some condensation on the inside. Fortunately, the water-sensor stickers didn't get wet and I was able to warranty replace it at t-mobile.

IDK if it is just me or not but this just doesn't seem like a good idea in general, although I do give you props for actually using something to absorb the condensation inside the bag. Even if you do manage to keep your phones internal components dry you are still risking overheating S**T especially inside a ziploc bag(kinda like an oven). I think it is much safer to leave it put up somewhere for awhile, I mean really can you guys not live without your phones for that long?;) LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djpingpong:
As a T-Mobile rep I've run into numerous situations where customers have water damage without ever dropping it in water. In these situations a common thing would be leaving their phones on in the shower and the steam getting into the water indicator sticker.

Even if you don't damage your phone, you will still risk voiding the warranty.
