Update security setttings msg every few mins...

Hi all, I'm not saying this is the / a fix but one thing I have noticed is that if your corp mail is managed by MS or even inhouse, and you had a different phone connected, you may want to to remove the old device from Outlook prior to connecting the new SGS3.

I usually check by going to Outlook via Web (aka OWA) (this is when you check your email thru a browser), then click Options (in 2010 its on the upper left corner of screen), select "See All Options", finally, select "Phone".

Now you should see all the devices that you had connected to your corp account. I removed all my old devices ( really was same device just different roms :cyclops: ) and then added my SGS3.

Also you may want to check with your IT dept to see if there is a mobile policy that is appiled once you connect your device to the corp's email server. My corp, you need to grant admin rights, (this is when you 1st set up your account on the phone). You may have to put a lock screen pin or pattern.

Another little tibit, is that you can select the device (just click on the name) , and you might have a "Details" btn in OWA. Click on "Details" btn and scroll down in the "View Mobile Phone Details" window. I check for the following:

"Access state" = Access Granted

"Access set by" = Global Permissions

"Policy applied" = xxxxxxxxx.ms.com\Default - Appilied in full

Policy updated = date should be recent like today if you made a change.

If "Access state" = Access Denied, then try removing the Outlook config from the mobile, then remove all phones from OWA, then add the account as normal on the mobile.

I hope this helps someone, GLTA...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tweeny80:
Overskreen is cool, but not yet optimised for 4.1 so I suggest you check out other free floating browsers (Overskreen is a paid app).

I also have a Nexus S phone using Overskreen and I was able to grab the .apk from it and simply copied the file over to my Prime, from there it installed fine. That method is called sideloading.

I thought you may like this. Recently, on Twitter, MIUI Rom release MiHome for GingerBread 2.3 devices and for ICS too. It works great, I'm using it. Maybe this is old or not. Just wanted to share since they said it was just released, looked like new. Here is the link for download.

http://t.co/1uEWrNGm

UPDATE: Can be downloaded from Market. MIUIROM tweeted and I checked it. Just search for MiHome.

*I'm not the owner of this app, developed it, or had anything to do about it. I'm not gaining money for sharing. This is a copy-paste from a link that MIUIROM tweeted on their Twitter.*

I've rooted and used custom roms on other devices in the past although I've left my Nexus stock and my OneX is currently stock. With this phone I am trying to figure out why I want to root? The phone runs great, I haven't had reboots or issues and battery life is great.

I don't care for custom roms because in my experience there's always minor things that don't quite work and stability can be so so.

Apart from custom roms any good reason to root this phone? With my Sensation I rooted right away but with the One X, there's nothing that I feel like needs to be addressed with root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Bloatware removal, button remap, memory settings to alleviate multitasking woes, ad blocking, tethering, etc... Check out cleanROM SE. Very close to stock, every tweak you need, nothing you don't, just as stable as the stock ROM. My phone is exactly the way I want it now thanks to Scott and his awesome, awesome ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s1l3nt:
reasons why i need root is removal of bloatware, tweaks, titanium backup, ad block, setcpu profiles and extra settings that devs put in their roms like eqs, button remaps, and wifi hotspot hack.

Can't wait till aokp or cm9 becomes stable. Gave aokp a try and that rom flies on this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Responses above pretty much covered it, as far as the benefits of root. But I have to disagree to some degree to the OPs comments on custom ROMs. It completely depends on the ROM and the developer. But my experience with custom ROMs, is that they can often be more stable than stock, and much better performance. Obviously, bugs need to be worked out early on, especially for ROMs that differ significantly from stock (like AOSP ROMs on HTC devices). But once the ROMs reach "maturity" they are often better than stock. And CleanROM is a good example of a ROM that is already stable, since it is mostly stock, but with lots of bloat removed, optimizations, and useful features.

That said, its only fairly recent where Android devices have high enough specs where performance isn't much of an issue on the stock ROM. Even with Sense, the One X is very smooth and responsive, and plenty of people will be just fine staying on the stock ROM. I am mostly on CleanROM due to the nice features like Advanced Power Menu, WiFi Hotspot, and button remap built-in.

Another thing you can do rooted is install the HTC apps that AT&T removed, including Flashlight and FM Radio.

Any one have links to the button remap that's safe and works on 1.85? I want to do that the black bar with 3 dots drives me crazy.

The thread is helpful thanks. Btw I can flash CWM and use it for backup/mods without unlocking boot loader right?

flashing an unsigned recovery like cwm requires unlocked BL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
****. And unlocking boot loader means wiping phone. What a pain in the ass. Wish we could just get s-off so wouldn't have to do all this nonense. I'll just stick with root for now
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you don't want to unlock the bootloader, you can still install the 3-dot menu mod. You'll need an app like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (that lets you browse the system files). Unzip the file from the thread, copy to the appropriate places. You will need to mount the folder locations as R/W, and also make sure the permissions on each of the files you copy is right. Read through the thread for that mod for details.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mushat3k:
I would recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery, just so you won't lose root after the next OTA (I recommend TWRP, cwm seems a bit unstable and there are reports of sd wipes). In the dev forum there is a thread that steps you through keeping all of your settings, I would check that out

Or just don't download/install any OTAs. Which you shouldn't do on a rooted device, anyway.

There are plenty of good reasons to unlock the bootloader. "Protecting" your root from OTA isn't one of them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I'll never understand why some rooted users are still worried about getting OTAs. We get better updates from our devs, and they always implement the new OTAs into their ROMs anyways.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] freakboy13:
Amen to that brother...even before I rooted myself last week, after I found out about the ics disabling feature when I first bought the phone, first thing to get shut off? Anything att.

:D

Never got a single ota or att anything ever. Oh except for a survey via text ...that was a funny experience.

Even if you don't mind bloatware,

You should root no matter what for titanium back up alone(get the paid version, well worth it) , but these other apps imo are a must have:

TitAnium Back-up

aDfree

Autostarts

Permissions

Auto killer optimizers

root explorer

All need root.

One word:

AOKP.

Ok, that's actually 4 words. Really, it might not be for everyone, but since Eclair, I've always found that the close-to-stock-(AOSP) experience is much more satisfying than any customized version of Android. No matter how nice Sense 4.0 is, I find it somewhat... inferior(?) to CM9 and AOKP. I don't really know, it's just the feel of it... everything just fits together perfectly. It's annoying for me to see the Sense UI and then jump into Play Music and see the ICS UI and everything being mixed up. Once AOKP is completely stable, I'm probably never running another ROM that is even distantly related to Sense. CleanROM are great, but a whole other world awaits on the other side of the..... ice cream sandwich. :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Button remap should be a good enough reason! Why have a giant screen with a 3dot menu on the bottom? Whatever HTC employee thought of that, I am dissapoint.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
So far I've done the following:

- AdFree

- Autokiller Memory -> use standard minfree settings has improved multitasking

- Phone contacts fix so FB pictures show up in Google Voice and 3rd party apps

That's it for now. The button remap is what I want but I've read people having issues with it and I'm not BL unlocked so no backup - would have to do manually.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
The 3 dot menu has nothing to do with HTC or Sense. It's because the apps that have it are not optimized for ICS yet which has that stupid on screen button bar at the bottom of the screen. That bar goes away when the app is optimized for ICS but when the app isn't the bar turns into the 3 dot menu thingy. Blame Google, not HTC, for the worst thing they ever did to Android. On screen buttons? Really Google?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Only complete noobs are concerned about updates OTA. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to android, not I'm not a pro. I think I'm slowly moving out of the noob title and discovering new grounds. :)

The benefits of root are getting smaller and smaller as stock roms get better and better. That is it used to be the main reason for a lot of people was wifi tethering and app2sd. Now most of not all stock roms that come on newish (even a year old) android phones have both. I believe thats been around since android 2.2. Maybe 2.1, I forget.

Anyways, why would I root? First because I don't like being told that I can't do something. Whenever my computer tells me I can't do something I tell it "YES I CAN" and then I give it the hammer (-9), switch to root, or something similar. So for android, I want my devices to not be limited in its abilities because I don't have root.

Second reason is that I hate a lot of the AT&T bloatware that you see on stock roms. A lot of those Apps I would never need. So I can install a custom rom that doesn't have them. Or I can just root and delete them.

3rd reason is to be able to control the CPU. Which I'm not so sure that that has made a huge impact on speed or battery life.

4th reason (and probably this should be #1) is because AT&T made it so hard to root the HTC ONE X. I feel like its a "IN YOUR FACE, AT&T!!!!" sort of moment.

I'm sure there's a lot more. Can't think of any more now.

So I recently ordered a Sandisk Class 4 16 gb sd card for my Atrix 2. I wanted to be able to keep a backup of a ROM at all times while having 500 songs on my phone..but 2 gb just didnt cut it.

So i tried to connect the card with my phones USB cable while having it in the device, but it just wasnt showing up on the computer. I had to end up using a card reader.

It still works...just something to keep in mind while buying SD cards.

Although problems do not seem to be prevalent with the slower class cards, it might be a good idea to follow Patriot's advice regarding formatting. The suggestion was posted by Patriot in response to a review of a 32GB class 10 microSDHC.

Patriot acknowledged a problem with hemorrhoid OS and 32GB class 10 cards and suggested a temporary fix of performing a full format on a Windows PC with a 32kb allocation size, obviously FAT32 since stock hemorrhoid does not recognize NFTS.

The reply can be found in this review although the specific page will change if more reviews are added.

I'm using a Kingston 32GB Class 4 card, which is actually in my SGS3 now from my A2, and I have never seen anything to complain about with it. I still hit high benchmark scores as noted with my A2 as well as my SGS3, thinking though that I may try a higher rated class sdcard for the SGS3, since it doesn't seem to have the issues that the A2 has seen. But, a little more digging around has to be done before I make that kind of jump! (Better safe than sorry!) But, yes, the Class 10 cards will -eventually- give you grief if you try to use one with the A2. Not sure the 'scientifically-proven' answer to give here, just know that from everything I have seen, which has been substantial enough for me to believe that...

You should try a re-formatting of the sdcard, as you likely have some corrupted app data/other data that is causing the rebooting. A Class 4 card should give you no problems like this, unless you have some issues like I just mentioned.

And if you're trying to restore app data from, say, Titamium Backup, I recommend you do not do this. Just try a fresh format of the card, and do not restore data to it. Run your phone afterward for a good while to test. If your phone continues to reboot after you have tried this, changes are that you can rule out the possibility of the cause being due to the sdcard, and we can explore other possible known culprits...

Yesterday,after I flashed stock ICS rom through odin, I noticed that i can't connect to any kind of wifi connection, even wifi sharing from other devices! it says just "obtaining ip address" and nothing. stuck like that forever. What?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolamok:
My problem was unable to turn on wifi, wifi stuck at the stage of turning on.... and forever like that cant off and on.

good luck for you,hope you are not the same problem with me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Wifi is kernel-related.

So, try to flash another kernel to test.

Or if you don't want to flash another kernel, check in menu Settings > wifi > (menu button) Advanced > Use static ip.

Try to enabled and connect.

Then disable and try to connect.

If that does not help, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode.

Press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons as long as the recovery menu appears, then select wipe cache and reboot the phone.

P.S.:

Check the configuration of your wifi router / WLAN access point, that is allows your phone to connect.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
I would say look for a custom rom that is already pre-rooted so then it should have all bugs to do with wifi removed.

I used to have a problem with the wifi myself which caused problems when turning it into a wireless hot spot and then wouldn't turn back off again.

But now im on the Custom Rom I am having no problems with wifi at all.
