ok is your post to say your battery life is good or bad. If you are stating you have terrible battery life you would honestly be like the 1,000th person to make this claim for CM9. At this point its pretty well documented in the CM9 thread as well as all over this forum. My suggestion would be to simply change roms since it does not seem like we will be seeing accommodating battery life for people until we get a hold of the kernel source.

In the Cm9 thread there are a few tricks to get a little more out of your battery, It may or may not work for you. I suggest you give that thread and a Google Search a try. Just so you know I am not trying to mess with you but seriously I see this question all over the place. I personally just tried Juice Defender but did not see any change so ya know what my choice is deal with it or move on. I choose to deal with it...

The choice is yours - Good Luck :D

Titanium Backup :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Yup, Titanium Backup method will work.

1. Download Ti Backup

2. Click on back up/ restore

3. Click on Apex

4. Uninstall

(Sorry for bringing up an old thread)

Hey veeman

I've been trying this method and its sez "Cannot locate apk file". So I manually removed the apk from data/app with root explorer, tried changing the R/W permissions and then attempted the Ti procedure and what not. Apex simply doesn't want to leave the phone..

Any ideas on what I should be doing next?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
If the app came preinstalled with your rom, it's going to be in /system/app

Navigate to /system/app/ with root explorer and just delete the apk for Apex launcher and then reboot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentinelv2:
That's what ticks me off. It's not there in system/app.

All that's there is launcher 2 and i believe thats the touchwiz apk. The only com.anddoes.launcher apk is at data/app.

Ok..Fixed that issue now. Thanks a lot veeman :)

HTC finally decided to play the same game apple is. I dunno but imo, to little to late. Chit shoulda been done a whole hell of a lot of time ago. But, nevertheless, they're doing something in the right direction.

I have been wondering... coulnd't Google file a suit over the drop down notification bar, which Apple is using and was on Android first....?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Google wouldn't and won't do that. It's like the two world heavy weights goin at it. Plus one suit would only open a door for more. And the drop down notification bar is part of android, which is open source. In all honesty, android being open is a good and bad thing. Without android continuously advancing, then snags will become more frequent do to other oems hogging up patents (crapple). Being open though allows any oem to personalize their own version of the os. Android should go closed, and include a small cost to use, just to be able to use the patent system. F crapple up the tail pipe.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
No they can't just do that ... Android is protected under open source licencing so they can probably use it but they can't patent
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carcass_freak:
I strongly disagree. If Google closed Android the way iOS is closed, WE stand to lose the most. Android's openness is the main reason there are so many ROMs and MODs out there, the main reason it is so successful (can freely used by any phone maker).

Open source is about having the option to change the product to fit your needs. As a Linux user I value this and I hate how rigid Apple's products are in this regard - they make all the decisions and the user has no say in any of it because, as Apple sees it, the user is too dumb to know what is best for him or her.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Didn't stop Windows Mobile 6.x ROMs, and it is a closed source/proprietary OS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
To a certain degree it did. Because Windows Mobile is closed source, most of the ROM mods and tools to modify the OS were basically hacks. With open source, we can compile and properly modify source code to fit any platform. You couldn't do that with Windows Mobile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rydah:
Actually, it is under open source, and if Apple is going to use it, they need to be open sourced also, which they aren't.

Also, with Android being developed by millions of people in forums like XDA and apple only being developed by the "applet minors", I see Android advancing faster than Apple-I hope!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
The only problem is that there aren't being patents applied to the stuff that is being developed in forums like XDA. That creates a problem because you know as well as I do that Apple has their minions trolling these forums looking for new ideas that they can steal and patent themselves thus making all of the work the devs put into it completely useless.

Personally I say if you come up with something on here that's awesome, patent it. Don't use the patent for evil like apple just patent it and let it be open source. You would be the patent holder so you could let anyone use the product and it will help to stop evil companies like apple from destroying the phone market.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Like the idea. But patents cost way to much. Last I heard was over $1,100. But that's for sn actual product. Dunno if it differs for software. Or hardware I guess

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
Where does "prior art" come into play? If Android had it first and it wasn't able to be patented due to open source, Apple could come up with their own version but I would think they wouldn't be able to patent it (or at least not be able to use it against anyone) due to the "prior art" clause.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
The patent is still pending. I'm sure Google will go after apple once the patent is awarded.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doctechx:
Correct. Also Android features would also be covered under prior art patent discovery rules.

Edit: sorry I missed the post related to prior art above, is correct. Apple could not patent open source Android based features due to the prior art clause.

Steve Jobs actually said the reason for a one button mouse was so consumers wouldn't be confused as to why there is a second mouse button that doesn't really do anything, that tells you all you need to know about how Apple sees their customers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
He was right. I've known a lot of people that don't ever use the right mouse button and don't know what it does. When you tell them how to do something they get confused between the left and right button and keep hitting the wrong one. I love it, I do almost everything with my mouse but I'm not the average computer user, my mom is. One button is simpler, that's why the iPhone and iPad only have 1 button. I've shown people how to do things on their Android phones and I get "I've never touched that button before" to that I ask "why not?" and the response "I didn't know what it did". My landlord had an Epic 4G for almost a year and one day I was commenting on the fact I wished my EVO had a camera button and she said "what camera button". I have a feeling that's why the iPhone doesn't have a dedicated camera button, it would confuse people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
While this is true they give you instructions with your devices. The it boils down to two things people being lazy and not reading. And two people being to scared to adventure to new things. There is zero reason for no one to understand the basics of the tech they own. It is their fault. Tech isn't hard on any level.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ausch30:
While I don't disagree with you, some people are more technologically inclined than others. I do agree that people are lazy. Although I seldom read them, everything comes with a manual. It's not like the early days of command line interfaces, everything is very simple now. Apple caters to the "I don't want to read, I just want to turn it on and use it" crowd.

[HTC One X] stm2008:
I have been using HTC (and Dopod) since my first smartphone (D810, HD, HD2, HOX), and HD2's amazing capabilities are quite impressive to me.

After I accidently broke my HD2, I'm have no doubt choose HOX as replacement. However, I'm quite disappointed after using it for 1.5 months.

1) Unable to root unless unlock BL from htcdev.com, but I will loss warranty (part of).

2) Because I can't root my HOX, I can't tune or even flash a custom ROM.

3) There are full of problems I see and heard, luckily my machine is quite ok, no yellow spot, no dead/hot spot, no rainbow bar (fixed after OTA update). However, there are some other issues still:

a) Battery consumption is quite high, actually I'm ok because I bring external battery, but should HTC ever think about using a larger capacity battery?

b) The phone heat up at the upper part of phone, and it is not comfortable when putting it to my ear

c) No multitasking, this is totally a mess. No matter what I do, most app will reload, I knew that I can improve the condition, but it requires root access.

d) Camera is suck, especially focus very close object (even using macro mode). The front camera is even wrost, the noise is terrible. HDR mode is not good too, after I press the shutter, I need to hold still for it to process, not easy for everyone.

e) No menu button, I don't understand why HTC engineer would follow this. It is a joke that every non-ICS app will have a 3-dots menu, and eat up my screen space.

Anyone ever think about replacing HOX with S3?

S3 is not perfect, especially those features so call 'designed for humans'! but at least I can root it and do some customization:mad:
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
I've thought of it once because the battery life seemed nice, but then I remembered how it looks and the fact it has a pentile screen and started loling at myself.
[HTC One X] muamers:
No
[HTC One X] AJerman:
Nope
[HTC One X] RBFesquire:
No, I played with an S3 in a phone shop and although snappier, the whole thing (screen, touchwiz) looked a little dated to my eyes. I did consider but battery and storage is never an issue. I had a Desire for two years and never changed the battery and never had anything bigger than a 16gb memory card in it. But the only thing you can do is get your hands on one and have a play :-)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
Only because of S-off and the multitasking, both of these COULD still be fixed....but then i realise how much more expensive the s3 is!
[HTC One X] mrguna:
Hell no!
[HTC One X] shadehh:
I did, and that only cause of battery life. I did quickly realize though that the stand by time on the sgs3 is not that good and actually does have a bit of a drain. Thankfully we have a companion core.

To make it short, though. Both phones are quite powerful, performance and speedwise when it comes to opening apps etc they are quite identical. Anyone who says otherwise is a silly fanboy.

The only things up for debate is: battery and screen.

Personally i would be happy to own the sgs3 as much as i am a proud owner of the one x.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
If you need the expandable storage and removable battery then I'd say yes. If you don't then stick with the HOX. We are still only 2 or 3 months into it and further OTAs will improve it as well as an updated kernel from Nvidia. Both Nvidia and HTC need to start fixing software issues.

Other reasons why one would consider the S3?

- Improved audio quality vs the HOX,

- Improved video recording,

- Cameras, both are good,

- TouchWiz?

- Smart stay,

- Led customisation,

- S-Voice? Wouldn't personally use it meself,

- Out of the box unlocked bootloader,

Both are good phones. But the SGS3 edges it for certain things however the HOX excels with looks, camera software and the lush screen. And Sense is prettier although UI is a personal preference for most.
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Nope
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
for sure !

I wish I wait an get the SGS3 :(

I was never more disappointed than with HOX. Since I get it few weeks ago I have only problems.

The device is have so many issues and I never thought that HTC can messed in this big style.

- no S-OFF

- overheating

- confirmed WiFi hardware fault

- poor signal

...and who knows what else

No way One x all the way

[HTC One X] colts187:
I replaced mine w the s3 and I love it. It feels very nice. The only difference in the screen is the max brightness really. I can't see any negative issues w the screen at all. The keyboard is waaay better even than stock android 4.0. The unlock button was the kicker for me since I would practically have to juggle the phone to reach the sleep/wake button on top. I HATE touchwiz. Seriously it's what kept me from keeping my note or my gs3 but for whatever reason, this version is nowhere near as annoying or cartoonish as previous versions. Looking back I do miss the hox for the tegra 3 games and the Matte finish of the build but honestly that's it. Just fyi I've had both the gray and white versions of the unlocked model. It's really about preference honestly. I will say the one thing that annoyed me the most about the one x was that there was no way to pull the battery. Sometimes android needs that ability bc of freeze ups and the like. It's nice to get that capability back, although I haven't needed it yet.
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
Never , gs3 sucks .
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Instead of exchanging for a galaxy s3, I'm going to wait till august. Hopefully HTC will release a new one phone, s4 quad core, a bigger battery and fix the minor blips in the phone
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
HTC One XL the only phone at the moment due in Europe soon. I'm returning my SGS3 and keeping my HOX that must be saying something! I just love the screen of the HOX and this will keep me happy until either a new HTC device or the new GNote or something different.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
one you ask a question like that in a One X thread 99.9% you know what answer you will get.

if i had the chance to choose then yes i would of gone for the s3. but now i used and played with my One X and after finally weeks of suffering i know have my perfect one and it got fixed. So no i would not swap now for an S3.

third you should know by now that threads like this are forbidden in the forums. so i presume this will be closed soon. one to many threads asking the same question so a search would have been a better option and post your question in the comparison thread of the two phones..use the following thread here

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

One X will keep me good for a few more months if not a year. Only other phones i would swap it for would be the Nexus or see what phones will get released next year. Maybe Galaxy S4 or One X2:D but anyways S3 for me now i will give it a miss
[HTC One X] hello00:
over my dead body
[HTC One X] AJerman:
On a side note, I wish the "S3" nickname would go away. SGS3 isn't hard to type. S3 is a Qualcomm CPU, probably not going to get confused that often since the S3 is old and the SGS3 is new, but still. As we see today, some One S devices are being sold with S3s.
[HTC One X] Dr.Paul:
I have both and it's not so clear cut as there are pros and cons of both. The one x has a better screen IMO but the s3 has an sdcard slot and replaceable battery. I also find the one x to be faster and the ui is much better, except for the stupid three dot menu. The biggest annoyance to me with the one x is three dot menu and the power button on the top. The biggest annoyance for me with the s3 is the sometimes slow performance and the kiddie cartoon UI, but I love the sdcard slot and replaceable battery.
[HTC One X] AJerman:
You're exactly right, both have pros and cons, and both have plenty of differences that depend on what you personally like. For example, I think the SGS3 version of TouchWiz is better than Sense 4.0.
[HTC One X] colts187:
The gs3 overheats on graphically intensive games just like every other phone with that much processing power. People are obsessing over that but they would be mad if they're phone was thick enough to dispel the heat. Just can't make people happy

I have a stock Canadian Motorola Xoom running ICS 4.0.3

I did try to Google my question and search this entire site... no luck.

What will happen if I connect my Xoom

to my XP

(PC) using a Micro USB OTG cable? (a USB cable that support "Host Mode")

1. The Xoom will see the XP (PC) as a Massive Storage Device.

2. The XP (PC) will see the Xoom as a Massive Storage Device or as a MP3 player.

3. Both the Xoom and the PC will see each other as a Massive Storage Device.

4. A conflict will occur as both devices, Xoom and the XP (PC) will try to host each other.

5. Other (explain)

*I do know that ICS support OTG, and run really well with flash drives.

Thanks!

I order the OTG cable last week, it's not here yet. (maybe next week)

I have no idea how an OTG works, so it got me thinking...

- All I know is that OTG trigger the ICS to "host USB", but so the PC...

I want to connect my Xoom to my PC so I can copy some files over, and now wondering if I need another NON-OTG Micro USB to do so...

(or just keep using USB flash drive as a bridge, not super convenient...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Any non OTG USB cable will do the trick. I think the Xoom only supports MTP, so make sure your computer supports that.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s1lenz:
Hey guys,

Just an FYI for anybody that's planning to return their Prime for servicing and they have already unlocked their device.

I sent my prime in for a white spot in the middle of the screen and they replaced the screen. Only problem is that when I received it, it came back with another white spot on the screen.

I called in Asus again and they said I would have to send it back in. In frustration I said screw it and unlocked the device. Except the spot got bigger as time went on and was really annoying. I sent a PM to ASUS_USA and asked him if there's anything that could be done and he said unfortunately no since I unlocked my prime.

So today I called up Asus and gave them my old RMA number and said I was still having issues. The customer service rep said the SN shows I had unlocked my prime so there's nothing that could be done. I explained to him that I was aware that I gave up my warranty but this was an ongoing issue and I wasn't sure why they were opening up a new case on an old problem.

So he said I had a valid point, and that although I had waived rights to the 1 year product warranty, the 90 day service warranty was still valid. He went to check with his supervisor and sure enough, that is the case.

I'm sharing this so anybody that's in the same boat as me, that had their prime serviced, unlocked the device and is still having the same issue realizes the unlocking only voids the 1 year warranty, not the 90 day service warranty.
