[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciex:
Hey guys!

I know some thread has been created about the hot Galaxy S II issues, but I have a different experience.

The first time I flashed my phone to ICS, my phone was really hot, and that was really unusual when I used GB before. I was sick of my battery was draining, and my phone was hot, I switched back to GB Checkrom, and guess what? The phone was still hot.

First I thought I could be the rom, but I tried different kernel to see how it is going on when I had ICS, thereafter I switched back to Checkrom GB, and I used NEAK kernel, which I had good experiement, but my phone was still to damn hot, and I reflashed second try, which was Siyah Kernel. Still to hot, now I'm using SLIM ICS, and my phone is hot! What is going on??? Have I been flashing to much, and damaged my hardware or something?

When I'm taking a phone call, or browsing a bit on the net, or even listening to music, charging or standby, still too hot! Any ideas how to reduce the temperature of my phone?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
Did you allow the phone to have a few complete battery recharging cycles after each time you flashed another rom? Mine gets hotter right after a new Rom is flashed, after few cycles goes back to normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
1: hope you wiped when you went from GB to ICS and again when ICS to GB

2: change your modem, or better do a full wipe and flash a stock GB ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prashanthme:
Yup I was like u asking questions here about HEATING effect of SGS2.. But let me explain u wy i got back... When I bought my phone last month 13th I couldn tolerate unrooted phone.. So rooted and installed a custom ROM... U wont believe me while calling i couldnt hold it on EAR! It was that hot... Even if my young bro plays a game or watches a movie it used to get burn like hell..

1. I tried Siyah Kernel My phone was HOT!!(NO hard feelings for Siyah :P )

2. I tried Fluxi Kernel viola heating effect gone!! But still the phone used to heat up after 20 minutes of continous usage. I mean heavy usage like 3G...

3. Finally tried KI4 modem now the real action started no heat even after heavy usage!!

Dont know whether these things might work on ur phone(In theory must work :P) But keep trying different kernel and modems till u come to know this heat is tolearable before that :)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] icedventimocha:
Yeah dude you didn't even list Workshed in the credits. We don't need more drama in this forum, I'm pretty sure one of the reasons our forums are so empty isn't just because of no update and leaks, but because thunderbolt users have been showing a lack of respect for what devs have done for us already.

[General Questions and Answers] Keige:
My HTC HD7 on/off button does not function after charging. After unplugging the charger, the icon shows still charging and the backlight stays lit. I can still use the phone as usual, but must remove and reinstall battery to turn off or sleep. I can remove and replace the battery and it is fine for 30 minutes or so then cannot use the on/off button again. I performed a factory reset, but same problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] TechuntrTM:

It sounds like a hardware problem, since you restored it to factory, software is probably not it. You should go take it to get it repaired.

[HTC Inspire 4G] friskycow:
I recently flashed to a new a rom. In doing so I ruined my Battle.net Authenticator.

I don't know what I was thinking...

I backed up some pictures and junk from my SD card before formatting and installing the new ROM.

Is there any possible way I can get the restore code from the Authenticator if I run a file recovery program on the SD card?

Or Even just restore the old ROM back?

I did try searching first >.<
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
just call blizzard and have them reset your code. its easier
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings

http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
[HTC Wildfire S] Rollablunt420:
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.

Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Wildfire S] CoLlisiionZz:
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me :)
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone:)
[HTC Wildfire S] RRRb50:
Does this fixes the Hboot not looking for PGIMG.zip files?
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
No. A recovery can't fix HBOOT issue.
[HTC Wildfire S] RRRb50:
Is there a way to fix that?

Cause it dosnt check now.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Yes, but could you start another thread or link to a thread you've created. Let's keep this thread on-topic.
[HTC Wildfire S] sakisa950:
Isn't there a way to make it where it auto installs from hboot if so it'd help some ppl out ya know make it fool proof
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:

Give him a "Thanks" if it helps you out.
[HTC Wildfire S] RRRb50:
will it work with my problem and how to use it?
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Put on the root of your SD card. Put your SD card into your phone. Reboot your phone into HBOOT.
[HTC Wildfire S] RRRb50:
Tried that but didnt work.

When I go to HBOOT my mobile does not search for the PGIMG.zip files.

Is there a way to fix that?

I might make a thread if you say so.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Yes, please make a thread. It's best to keep this one on-topic.

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
To flash the RUU, You must Relock the bootloader first.

I can't be much help on returning the phone to s-on, other than to tell you it would take an image (before you s-off'd) and some jtag kung-foo skills ;)

Not something easy.

thanks so much for youre reply :D i do know some jtag kung foo skills! heh and fourteen other chinese words... this is my first ever time with an htc device! i have managed to learn a lot so far, my other device was a sgs flashed that sucker more times than girls gone wild! i am however anxiously awaiting my sgsIII

with that said, rock on with youre android device hacking...

p.s the rom i have is a stock rooted rom, of course custom kernel i added too, i can fool the uscc store upon return of the device except the phone info on lock bar ect says virgin mobile, i think its cool, but its gonna be hard to pull that one off i think lol
[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
If you flash the RUU for your carrier it will give you a stock rom kernel and recovery so it won't say virgin mobile :)

I'm trying out the stock rom on my s2 but Titanium doesn't seem to restore sms properly to it like it does going to other custom roms. I can see the conversations and last text in convo view but I click on the conversation and its blank. Even after reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik etc.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
Look in the Play Store for an app called SMS Backup & Restore (by Ritesh Sahu). Works perfectly every time. You may have already lost your previous text messages, but going forward when using this app you won't have any more problems.

[General Questions and Answers] kazimx:
Hi

I wanted to downgrade my samsung galaxy S2 from WKI4 (2.3.4) to a lower firmware possibly the first ones released i.e. XWKDD, XWKE1 or XWKE2. Anything below 2.3.4 even 2.3.3 will be fine.

BUT as i'm a new user I can't request these on the "[ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares" by intratech and the links on that thread or currently dead.

So please can someone give me a live link for any of them official firmwares as I don't want any dodgey links that might brick my phone.

Thanks

[HTC One X] Synoptex:
HTC One X Owners and potential buyers!

Would you buy it / buy it again if you had a choise?

Or you better give a chanse to Samsung/Sony/Nexus/LG/Motorolla?

Or just stay on your old device and wait untill something new arrives?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
Definitely buy it again. Right now, it is still king of the market. NO ONE BEATS ITS SCREEN. and since screen is the number one biggest thing we interact and use everytime we use the phone, it is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART LOOOL.

In a whole package and a custom rom, the one x trumps any conpetitor out there as it has the best hardware foundation. GO DEVS GO
[HTC One X] Supaiku:
Hard to say... I might look for a similar device with a bigger/removable battery, external SD and USB-OTG support. If a device like that didn't exist, I might still buy it.
[HTC One X] muamers:
About battery: Read this (but we have now with the new base about 6h screen time and its still not officially released...i am not sure that i will use my phone 6h of the 17h i am awake every day)

About external SD: Its a smartphone not a PC, with the 28 GB (user available) i am really satisfied.

About USB-OTG: I am sure we will get it soon :)
[HTC One X] kylec:
I agree.

I would buy it again because I love the feel and look of the phone,

but an external SD would be nice
[HTC One X] Goku80:
all honesty no i would not buy it again... i would go for the galaxy s3 just for the pure reason that the development for that phone is much bigger than the One X. but even though i would not go for another HTC phone i really do love my current one now even after all the issues my phone had
[HTC One X] 4z01235:
I definitely would. I always felt that Android 2.x was just not as polished feeling as iOS and I didn't enjoy it very much, but ICS finally closed the gap IMO. After that I was just waiting for some nice hardware to come out - high pixel density screen with nice colours (which pretty much barred anything AMOLED, since I've hardly ever seen one that wasn't blue tinged, which really bothers me), nice physical design, and powerful enough hardware to do everything smoothly. The One X is just about the first phone to meet all my requirements. The GNex was quite close as well though, being one of the few AMOLED devices I've seen whose screen I didn't mind, but at the time that the GNex came out I was not ready to move to a new phone yet.

In short, I love my One X. Nice upgrade from an iPhone 4. There's not too much I miss about the iPhone, and plenty of things I love about my HOX that the iPhone just did not have.
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
How about the apps and games that were on the iPhone 4?

I've also had an iPhone for about a week, and I have an iPod Touch, I love Android, but I'll be completely honest, the Android applications and games can't get nowhere near the level of the iPhone ones, not sure why but every iPhone app and probably game out there is beautiful, it's polished, some of the Android ones are too, but it's being held back by most of the ugly ones.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
you can only flash so mch, and after a while, that pentile ll get to you. trust me, had the gnex, and look at rhe development it has...lol. i do miss the gnex more than i want the s3
[HTC One X] muamers:
Im scrollin throught the s3 forum and dont get it :confused: development? What you mean?
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
I think he's saying that you can flash everything to your hearts content but nothing the developers over at SIII will release will make you have the same screen the One X has, and this is the truth, doesn't matter if 1,000,000 developers group up to develop a ROM, the screen will stay the same :).
[HTC One X] 4z01235:
There are only two games that I miss from iOS. Rhythmatic, and Strategery. There are a few other apps I couldn't find Android equivalents to but they were apps I hardly ever used anyway. Anyway, I still have my iPhone around, so I can use it as my mobile gaming device/iPod and use my HOX for texting/calls and Facebook/Twitter/etc. (iPhone could do it as well I guess, but I only have one SIM card, which is obviously in the HOX).
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
and infinity blade ~
[HTC One X] D3VICE:
I usually don't play 3D games on my phones, never really got into the on-screen touch controls, I just hate how my favorite game Drop 7 looks DISGUSTING on the huge screen of the One X, if I could only normally play this game everything would be perfect.
[HTC One X] 4z01235:
I played it a few times. It was graphically quite impressive for a phone, but I didn't really get into the gameplay.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
lol, kill, buy weapons, kill, buy armor, kill, be killed, upgrade！ looooool
[HTC One X] godutch:
The HOX was my second choice device, my first choice being the HOXL (the 32GB intl version) but as for as I can tell it hasn't been released yet ans I am pretty happy with the HOX especially since the 2.05 rom base which is much smoother and responsive than the 1.2x base
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
if the one xl int actually happened, i would jump ship and board that one
[HTC One X] Goku80:
I mean as in regards the many roms on offer on there side. Some of the best roms out for the s2 are being done for the s3 now. And would of loved to try them out. Were here we not having much variations.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
uh...we have sense , senseless, aosp, miui, half sense half not, s3 touchwiz on cm9. do they have half of these？

not to mention we have franco and faux, two of the best kernel devs ever
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Dude. I am not going to get in a debate with you. Development for the one x is good yes. But for the s3 for me is just better cause of the devs I know from my s2 days. And we might have AOSP and other roms but it is the variety. Anyways never said I was not happy with my current phone.
[HTC One X] olly2097:
Nah. I would buy a gs3 instead. Just seeks an all round better phone bar the build. Don't like sense either.
[HTC One X] metko:
i had a lot of high-end phones and none of them had as many problems as the one x and for me as a big htc fan im realy dissapointed and for me its never htc again :)

Can you please tell us what problems you are having with the HTC One X?
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Right now I'm on Straight Talk, but want to switch to T-Mobiles' 4g Monthly plan. Where did you guys get the non-gba 50.01 micro sim card? I'm having no luck searching on Google. Called T-Mobile and had a dumb representative on the phone that kept insisting that I get a sim card and cut it ignoring what I actually needed. Called a lot of stores around me and they said they didn't carry it. Only found one guy on ebay selling them for $30 a piece, I'm not paying that. I would rather buy it officially from T-Mobile.
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Bump.

I got my phone from buy mobile phones.net. It came unbranded with a micro sim attached to it. Might be worth giving them a ring. Although I'm not sure if it's just an English site

[HTC One X] RBFesquire:
Yeah sorry, it's a T-Mobile sim :-)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] atvxda:
There are other threads also discussing this.

I have a European One X, took me 30 mins of calling to find the right micro SIM. I contacted all of my local (within 5 miles of my house and office) T Mobile stores and struck out. I ended up calling a T Mobile store a few miles out and the store manager was kind enough to email his peers and called me back within 20 mins to tell me which store had it, that the store had it on hold for me and even gave me the name of the manager I should ask for.

T Mo USA customer service is no help as they cannot specify that you are in need of a non GBA micro SIM and so they will simply send you what they have (more than likely a newer micro SIM such as what is being shipped out with the One S).

You have to call around stores and ask yourself. Perhaps you will get lucky as I did and a manager will offer to check other stores and call you back. I simply told the manager I was speaking with that I just purchased an unlocked device from Europe and how excited I was to have it. The manager asked me what device and through "small talk" and a love for gadgets, he took the extra step and sent an email out and called me back (nice).

If you strike out, you will have no other choice but to purchase the SIM from Amazon or eBay.

Good luck!
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Yeah that was who I called was the USA customer service. I wish it wasn't so hard to acquire this sim card, but I guess I'll try. Thanks :).
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
Or you can get a regular miniSim and cut it down.
