Prime update

After reading this thread up to this point I am a little confused as to what I need to do before up dating from .21 to .28. It seem to me that the history and current conditions of my tablet may effect the outcome of the update.

To make it easier on future readers I will document the history and current condition of my TF201 before applying the update and report here the outcome.

I downgrade with viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - Modded by bpear to .15 for clean install -> root it (same program) -> then i start Rootkeeper (last one) and click at "Protect Root".... then take wifi on and it downloadet self .28

i now at .28 and start Rootkeeper but it says it dont have a Rootbackup...

now i use viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - Modded by bpear_v3.zip again and go back at .15 and it work... but how can i have .28 with root or .21 with root back?

i try it one more

1. downgrade at .15 with viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - Modded by bpear_v3.zip

2. root with viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - Modded by bpear_v3.zip

3. restart and test with superuser/luckypatcher

3. download new rootkeeper and click on "protect root"

4. restart

5. click on "search for new updates"

6. automatically update at.28 with ota (not a manuell update!!! without micro sd)

7. and loose root while Rootkeeper not have a backup copy....

now i use "[ROOT][TOOL]Debugfs automated root" thread here and get root at .28! phew!

for me is rootkeeper dont work from .15 to .28 :-(

Hi , i bought a wildfire yesterday SH and i want to overclock ... Please let me links with all what i need to do to overclock it .. I have SeTCPU in PC but i see i need to root .... And for root i need to do another things ..
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
Seriously. I dont understand why you dont go looking around the development section, or use the search button. Instead of instantly asking for help.
[Wildfire General] buhanita:
why you can't show me links directly ? :|
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
You see normally someone would point you in the right direction if it seems like you've at least taken the initiative to at least look for whatever it is you want however what you're asking for is not exactly hard to find, I'll be kind though and give you a hint, there's a thread called wildfire index which contains just about everything (read that first) then look for a guide to s-off (unlock the bootloader) and root.

I would post links but if you can't be bothered to look then why should i?;)
[Wildfire General] buhanita:
I wait for your links .
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Jeez, the index thread is like the first thread up top when you go into the dev section.
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Members on xda help those who at least try to help themselves 1st.

[Wildfire General] MattDN93:
Agreed with everyone else. Just find it yourself! You'll be waiting forever. Please can we get a mod to close this thread it's just wasting space...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] LauraSakura:
Is there any benefit really of going to an ICS leak vs staying on GB kernel with ICS ROM ( Axiom AOKP ICS)? (If I do flash to ICS leak at this time I'd stick to the ones where I can still fastboot to 181.) I am leery of anything that gets me stuck, because I'm still under warrantee and also afraid I mighty not be able to ota to the official release once it happens (certainly not holding my breath that it will happen today). Just wondering if anyone has a quick idea of what I would be gaining (and losing) if I went to the ICS leak after using this ROM. I know I would lose ROM control, which sucks, but I don't really know what I might gain. Thanks so much!

Edit: in particular, is hardware acceleration better on the leaks than on ICS roms not running on the leaks? Mostly: Does Netflix work with any of the leaks? Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LauraSakura:
Hard to believe nobody has an opinion on this with how many posts I see about the leaks! Your opinions / advice will be greatly appreciated
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Personally I avoid the leaks. They could be the official release or full of tons of bugs. My first priority is a functioning phone due to work, the bells and whistles are put on the back burner.

When ICS officially releases I don't want to lose my chances getting it by upgrading to a leak. Al though I'm sure the community will find a way to receive the OTA regardless of the current state of your phone, I'd rather not spend hours upon hours reverting back and forwards firmware-wise.

If you can deal with bugs and such then by all means go for the leak
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
At this poit in don't think is worth tring a leak, ics will be realeased soon (oh well not sure but i hope that is it XD) in the worst case waiting about 15 days is ok
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LauraSakura:
I REALLY don't think that 15 days is the worst case scenario..

But anyway... Thanks for your opinions. However, I'm really looking for information from people who have tried the leaks.. Especially whether or not Hardware Acceleration is working better on leaked ICS vs ICS ROMs on GB Kernel. Those who have tried the leak, do you see any real benefit to running it vs running any of the ICS Roms that can be flashed over non-leaked firmware versions (.181 mostly)? Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] verkerria:
The dangers of the methods people are using to get these leaks running aren't worth the trouble in my opinion. 209 works pretty well from what Ive seen, but the BP tools thing seems to cause intermittent problems. Its a matter of how far you are willing to go to have it now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LauraSakura:
Well, i ended up flashing .79 ICS leak (since out can be reverted to GB) and it works great! Netflix works fine, my 4g is stable and the system is snappy. I'm not going to update to a later leak and get "stuck" but I think I'll try this out until the official OTA drops then I'll revert to stock and upgrade. thanks everyone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 05GT:
I've installed the Amazon App Store app, and it will not accept my email and password. I know that they're correct, but the app continues to say invalid.

Does anyone have this app working properly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Babydollll:
I have had no problems signing in multiple times (after changing ROMs). Uninstall the app and reinstall or, goto Amazon's site and get a text sent with a link to download the app (again) and try installing that one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
Go to the Amazon website and delete all previous devices. As mentioned above you probably signed into it on too many devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 05GT:
Thanks,

This was the issue. There were over 30 devices. I guess I change Roms and phones A LOT!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
I don't know why amazon does that, its incredibly annoying
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sizz-lorr!:
Same here. Thought it was ICS too. Been looking for an answer to this issue for my GT-N7000 and looked all over the forums there but could find any help. Had way too many devices registered. So i deregistered them, dowloaded the app and installed it again. Had no problems signing in after that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find it anywhere...

With my Evo LTE, if I have no 3G signal, I get no data at all (not using wifi). Is there supposed to be 1x data? With my Epic, I would bounce between 3G and 1x while at work, getting about 60 Kbps (horrible I know, but at least it worked). Now with my Evo, I either get 3G or nothing. Most of the time I get an error that there is no network connectivity, where with my Epic I never got that, it just worked slower at times.

So, is it a configuration issue, does the Evo not support 1x, or could I possibly have a hardware issue? I have domestic data and voice checked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gdrocks:
Well, this EVO does not want you to know whether you are connected with 1x vs 3g. So, on stock it will ALWAYS show as 3g. This is why you are going from 3g to no connection whatsoever.

If you are rooted, install a custom ROM as they all have the option of including this modification. If you would like to keep your current set-up, there is a thread to walk you through the necessary changes.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688413

On a side note, the EVO also gets horrible reception in general. So although you will have a better idea of what your connection is, the fact of the matter is that your reception is probably not as good as it was with a previous phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
Well, at least it makes me feel better knowing that it isn't a hardware issue. My voice reception seems better with this phone than my Epic, but data, not so much. Maybe LTE will magically fix all my issues? Other than a dead pixel, screen being a little washed out compared to SAMOLED, and reception issues, I still like my phone. Not sure if the SGIII would have better data reception where I'm at. Sucks that I have unlimited data, but just can't get at it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
I'm not convinced.

the first day our two after I got my phone, I had the same problem.

I tried changing from CDMA & LTE to CDMA only. That didn't help.

I then rebooted my phone. After that, data seems to work fine. My display sometimes shows bars with 3G, and sometimes simply bars only.

Before I rebooted, it never showed 3G.

I had even started a thread about it. But it seems to work fine now.
[General Questions and Answers] kylec:
In my personal opinion, based on your needs, the One X should be fine for the most part. The biggest concern will be the screen on time. I personally have only managed 4ish hours screen on time.

But the way I worked around it is with an external battery pack which I just use to top up when I'm not using the phone (or even when I am).
[General Questions and Answers] RBFesquire:
Sounds as if you have already made your mind up you just don't know it yet :-) by the looks of your post, go with Samsung!

[General Questions and Answers] Laurentius26:
Very nice opening of a thread but I think it's irrelevant.

People here have a HTC One X because it's HTC One X General section.

So how can you have a clear opinion from people with a HTC One X who don't have the other device you mention?

Maybe you better post this question in the general section of XDA?

As this is HTC One X section and has nothing todo with that other machine.

Besides that, soooooo... many tried to open a thread like this before you and all these threads end up in a fight.

So my advise is, if you like to know about opinions of both phones read about both phones in several forums but I think it's not very smart to open an anoying thread like this.

Btw, that's my opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] wayner65:
The only way you'll ever know is if you try both yourself. Buy sim-free devices from a reputable company with a good return policy and have fun making up your mind :)
[General Questions and Answers] LuffyPSP:
From what i read, you need the s3 cuz you want many screen on time. You can bring extra battery and pop it in.

From what i think, you are right bout updates. Samsung tend to leave their prev flagships phone with late updates and when they do, half finished work that needs lots of updates to fix it. HTC updates them, but tries as perfectly as possible. N HTC has longer software update support too.

[General Questions and Answers] AJerman:
My personal opinion is that I think the HTC One X is a better device overall than the SGS3, but obviously its very close and both have pros and cons. Obviously most people in this forum will prefer the One X. And I've been a Samsung owner for my last two phones (SGS, Infuse), and was anxiously awaiting the SGS3 announcement thinking I was going to get one. It was announced, I wasn't that impressed, I got the HTC One X instead (cheaper too, at least off contract) and I'm happy that I did.

One thing to note though, I see you put TouchWiz on the cons for SGS3, but I'd probably say TouchWiz on the SGS3 is better than Sense 4. Sense 4 is nice, and I have no problem with it, but I've been running SGS3 builds on my Infuse and I like it more.

The SGS3 is definitely more friendly for custom ROMs being that it's bootloader is already unlocked, however, I don't doubt the development community's ability to do just fine with the HOX. If it was a smaller phone, that would be one thing, but this is an international flagship. There are a lot of people working on it, just like the SGS3. I'm not too worried about customization abilities.

But hey, go find them both, hold them both, and try using them both. Just pick what you like more. Some things are more important to one person than another.
[General Questions and Answers] MR4Y:
Not sure if firmware upgrades will make htc's one x battery to last longer, unless that somehow increases the number of cells or the capacity of the battery.

As for one x pros, people always forget one of the newest improvements it has camera-wise: you can take pictures while recording video. Not sure if the gs3 has the "selective burst mode" that the one x has.

For me, putting back touch wiz and buttons was a step back for the gs3. A step forward was putting a bigger battery.

If speed is what you want, why not go for the one s?
[General Questions and Answers] LuffyPSP:
Oh yeah i heard One S has goddamn better battery life than One X due to the screen and dual core.

Sent from my HTC One X
[General Questions and Answers] Laurentius26:
That's logical isn't, I mean duo or quad core?

And about battery live, I think besides updates on the OS you can improve the performance with a radio for your area as well.

About the other things, a bad choise of apps can drain your battery really fast as well so I'm sure if HTC updates the Core or improves applications it can improve battery.

Not that battery is so bad with HTC One X, I'm pretty satisfied, but you can't compair the device with a single or dual core I think, that's not fair to my opinion. To my opinion HTC One X has a much better design as the Samsung Galaxy SIII, much more elegant and stylish. Not such a flat squared boring design as the SIII. And about the service of HTC, to my opinion it rocks as well, in all the 8 years I use HTC devices I had only once a issue with a device, they picked up and returned it fixed in 3 days.

I think this is all important to the Op to my opinion as he has to make a decission. :)
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
I must agree with Leo, one thing has made me in love with HTC is it´s superior design and build quality over any other existent brand, so even if GSIII had better specs I rather took One X :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] bvadithya1993:
S3..!!!!!!!

Looking at the rapid growth of the android phones and the huge success of Samsung over their Galaxy series and also a large number of custom roms available and firmware updates too, I would tell samsung galaxy S3 is the one and the best till date..:):)
[General Questions and Answers] LuffyPSP:
haha i'm just stating the obvious... :p
[General Questions and Answers] Hstar:
Mhm, personally people have their own opinions depends what you would want to keep.
[General Questions and Answers] krank77:
Sg3 battery life is great with a battery that it has already! As far as updates from Samsung, they seem to roll out updates about biweekly.

Haven't yet tried a game that it could not handle.
[General Questions and Answers] alavid:
Are two excellent devices, appearance, many features and utilities, is purely a matter of personal taste. See the pros, contra and finally what fits your personality.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyb3rGlitch:
I'd get the SGS3. The battery life for me is a major factor, and you have to consider the fact that capacity starts to die off after X amount of recharge cycles. Knowing that the SGS3 has a replaceable battery brings peace of mind, especially when you want to keep this phone for 2+ years. I also prefer the Exynos to the Tegra 3, it's simply the better SoC in terms of performance.

The answers you were given in your duplicate thread in the htc forum sum it up about right
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
Do you have both available to test out at a local shop? If so, I would make several trips if I had to and just play with them both until I had made up my mind. I have the AT&T One X now. This is going to my wife and I have an S3 on pre-order. I will have the chance to sit and play with them side by side for weeks and decide which is better for me. If I opt for the One X, I return the S3 within my 30 days and swap it out for the One X. If I like the S3 better, I just keep it. Both phones appear to be awesome. Good luck on your search for the perfect phone for you! :)
[Galaxy S III General] Tsukurimashou:
The problem is I can't test both at local shop because they are US variant and I won't get same perfs from them since I want int version (on both). Anyway thanks for your replies!
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Closed, we have a thread here for HOX vs SGS3 comparisons/etc.

Also cross posting is considered spam, keep that in mind in future.

[Motorola Droid 4] CharleySimmons:
I've tried this on the .206 and .208 leaks, both of which won't use google voice to dial out. I've tripled checked, and google voice is set to "Use Google Voice to make all calls". I've tried uninstalling and re-installing (on both builds). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, has anyone found a fix?

Also - I've tried "Ask every time I make a call", this also fails to work (though I only tried this in .208).
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:
Works for me (I'm on .206). I have it set to "Only use Google Voice for international calls" though, not sure if that makes a difference.
[Motorola Droid 4] CharleySimmons:
Unfortunately that did not work for me. I've now tried "use Google Voice to make all calls", "Only use Google voice for international calls" and "Ask every time I make a call" - none of these result in using Google Voice for a call (local, domestic, - I haven't tried ILD, as I don't want to incur a charge).

The only thing that appears to work is "Don't use google voice for any calls", though I am beginning to suspect this is due to a bug, not design.
[Motorola Droid 4] CharleySimmons:
OK, did a little more testing - and stumbled across something looks like only 7 digit dialing is affected. 10 digit dialing does indeed use google voice. Frankly, I'm not sure if this was the case in stock GB or not - with out a way to roll back, I can't test.
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
I thought gv only did international calls, at least within the USA.
[Motorola Droid 4] DITPL:
Thank you! Google Voice worked great on my Galaxy S2 with GB and ICS, but I'm not able to place out going calls with my Galaxy S3. I tried your advice of using 10 digit dialing and it appears to be working!
[Motorola Droid 4] downslayer:
Works for me on .206

I have used it on .206 a few times and it works, it just doesn't show the "calling with google voice" dialog. I checked my minutes usage and no international minutes show up, just night/weekend or anytime minutes. If it wasn't working, there would be international minutes on my bill/vzw usage app.
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:
To avoid this you can just call up VZW Support and remove international dialing from your account. That way if it somehow doesn't use GV to dial internationally in the future, you'll just get the "you must enable international dialing blah blah" message, instead of crazy charges on your bill
