ATT HTC ONE X . Using the htc charger with the included 4' mini usb cable full charge takes 3hrs. Using a longer non htc cable 10' connected to the same htc charger that time nearly doubles. Does anybody know the cause of this. Does cable length create an issue with charge time.
[HTC One X] ghost-5:
Samsung short one of the usb pins on the official accessories to make the phone charge at full speed.

Their phones charge slower using other chargers.

Maybe HTC has done the same to this phone.
[HTC One X] bigdirtyjase:
I haven't really taken notice of that

I haven't used the HTC cable yet as I have two cables from my old Sony Ericsson phones and also got a a short Blackberry one at my work.

I thought all phones charge at full speed regardless. I guess cable length may have something to do with it.

is there an app that would measue charging rates
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
yes there is one on the market

im almost 100% present sure that you use a cheap Chinese cable ....

and that's why you have problems charging, the Chinese cable of 1m that i had experience with have a reallly poor quality and one day i cuted the cable to look whats going on inside, and i discovered a thin , a really thin wire inside , that spouse to transform the info ...
[HTC One X] Dmitry N:
It's true that HTC has a different pinout on their cables.

You can solder a pin to one of the other pins somehow, and the cable will work at full speed.

Gotta run now, no time to seek for proof links. Google please.
[HTC One X] waz000000:
the two middle pins need shorting together to turn it into a powered wire rather than a data wire :)

so you have:

[HTC One X] colin_ktp:
Thin long wire causes huge voltage drop, so charging speed is slower.
[HTC One X] agustaf4:
how do you go about doing this. Can I just tear the two middle pins out ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FAdrums:
I've tried to install various custom roms but none of them worked. I've followed the steps on the tutorial and none of them booted!

So my steps were:

Upgraded to 2.3.4 using Odin.

Installed cwm recovery using Odin.

Went into recovery mode:

Tried both ways 1- wipe data/cache and then install Rom and boot. 2- installed the rom and then wipe data/cache.

None of the roms worked! Do I need to be on 2.3.6? Do I need to be rooted?

Please help! :D

Edit: yes in a galaxy mini! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] galaxy mini:
For custom rom you need gingerbread 2.3.X doesnt matter what version so thats right BUT you need to wipe data wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache BEFORE and AFTER install custom rom!! Try it and it should work, and of cause you need custom rom for mini :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resetreflectt:
I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, but some of my images I guess become corrupted I think. I'm not sure how to explain it, just look at the screenshots. When i go to the picture, it's fine, but a split second later a bunch of gray lines cover up the whole picture. I don't know what could be wrong?

One picture shows it as the lines start and the other shows when it's fully covered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nevrlow:
Yea it sucks just delete them. Not sure why these phones do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oliie23:
Don't delete them. They're fine. Did you try viewing them in a different gallery, say Quickpic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
This happens with progressive jpeg's due to a gallery tweak for "HQ" images.

B39 of AOKP removed this tweak.

I'm not sure if CM9 has, I'd assume not.

In any case:

QuickPic is a great alternative that will allow viewing AND setting as wallpaper despite the native gallery errors.

[Acer Iconia A500] tinybilbo:
Hi,

I'm about to upgrade my bootloader in order to upgrade to ICS.

However, I can't make a Nandroid backup (just to be safe).

I have a 32gb microsd, which was formatted to fat32.

The Nandroid backup failed every time on the /data backup part.

Inspecting the card I found a 4gb data.tar - so obviously the backup is crapping out due to the fat32 4gb file limit.

Browsing round round the forums - I saw a post that mentioned I should format the card to ext3 or 4 - which I did.

However neither of the 2 filesystems are recognized by CWM (1.7.3), and when I try a backup from CWM it just says "error mounting backup".

What is the solution to backing up a large data archive in CWM to microsd?

many thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@tinybilbo..... You don't mention which make of SD card you are using. Are you certain it is a "genuine" card and not one of the "Chinese" knockoffs? They are known for reporting a size of 32Gb but this is a deliberate error to con the buyer. In actual fact you are limited 2Gb, 4Gb or 8Gb.
[Acer Iconia A500] tinybilbo:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

The card is a no-brand class 4 bought from a reputable (according to the reviews) dealer on Amazon UK.

I have made full (not quick) formats, on NTFS, Fat32, Ext3, and Ext4, without any errors.

I have also filled the card with about 28gb of video, which my daughters watched, while we were on hoilday.

I don't think the card is at fault...

However I will test the card again with 3 or 4 large .mkv movies, and post back later... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] tinybilbo:
I tested the card under NTFS with a couple of large .mkv's, and all was good...

I saw on another post that someone used RA Revamped for Iconia HC&ICS for recovery instead of CWM.

This allows you to compress your backups.

This worked first time. (the final compressed file was under 4gb)

I also asked in the CWM forums about this, and Thor replied that in order to backup larger files you can use ext3 or 4.

However the card does not automatically mount in recovery.

So it must be mounted manually via ADB.

Then a full backup can be made.

I've never used ADB before, so I opted to use RA Revamped...

Just bear in mind that it slows the backup process while it compresses

I want to know everyone's ways of getting a good gaming experience from the defy:

#Best rom(s)?

#tweaks/settings (sysctl values for example)

#Best number of multitouch points/ any other touchscreen tweaks

#Good CPU & Vsel settings for battery/performance balance

#I hate MIUI :P

I play mostly HD games like Nova 2 & 3, MC3, shadowgun and others as I rarely have access to a console

Thanks in advance for any tips :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
i use cm7 because i find this to be the best optimized, fastest rom ive tried, and now that cm7.2 stable is out, you pretty much have everything working.

about the multitouch point, ive noticed that the higger points you set, the less responsive it gets - although that was back when the first multitouch tweaks came out and it wasnt even implemented in cm, so it might have gotten better. but i recommend 2 points unless you need more - this is the default setting.

as for cpu settings i use these: 300@17, 600@32, 1000@52. governor: smartass (in cm9: boosted). this gives better battery life than ondemand. and i overclock from bootmenu, not from app (like setvsel). note that my vsel settimgs might be a little low for you, so i recommend starting from a higher value, stress testing it, and if you dont get freezes or reboots, go lower.

hope i could help, good luck!

I have no problem with Sense, but always end up running CM. There are just too many tweaks I want to make to my phone that Sense ROM's never seem to bake in. With Sense ROM's I'm usually going "crap I wish I could do that!" With CM it's "Sweet! I can do that!"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I think i like sense more. It is more refined. I like the look of aosp ics though. I'm really hoping a nice blue sense theme is released sometime.

The hardware is good enough that i do not believe one will perform better than the other like in the past.

The fact that the notification light doesn't time out on stock draws me to it though. It is my biggest complaint about sense.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disifer:
I have a Nexus S 4g with ICS. Phone was rooted last year. Ran stock ICS for the past month (Sprint OTA update). Last week it rebooted when downloading an app. After the reboot all of my apps were "closing unexpectedly", not force closing. After about 10 minutes it tried to reboot and got stuck on the boot animation.

-Tried doing factory wipe/reset through the OS, TWRP, CWM and Fastboot. When it reboots, nothing has been wiped.

-Flashed Stock ICS and Gingerbread images. ICS will start and get the app close cascade, then get stuck on the splashscreen. Gingerbread hangs on the google screen/does not boot.

-Cannot write to sdcard but can copy everything off the phone to my PC. Toggling USB Debugging does not help.

Flashed stock rom using odin. It said that everything was successful but it booted up to the same problem.

I have done factory reset from the ICS UI, stock recovery (ICS and GB), CWM, and TWRP. I've cleared the regular cache, Dalvik cache, sdcard and everything that is clearable or wipeable in in CWM, TWRP, stock recovery. I've cleared the cache in fastboot and did "fastboot -w" (don't know exactly what that wipes) with no effect. I even had Windows try to format the phone. I have done any and all combinations at least three to four times apiece.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langsalang:
Hi to all.

I have been a Galaxy Note user for about a month.

Tried out lots of different custom firmwares. Moved from one to another many times.

Today I was on a Stock LQ3 ICS Rom I rooted using the cwm.zip and cwmsuper somthing.zip file.

All was fine and I wanted to give Paranoid another try.

I didn't install the franco kernel which the download package came with, instead I had my stock Kernel running.

Booted into recovery and installed CWM.zip update to gain the recovery menu.

Got the recovery menu which looked like the Abysskernel recovery menu.

Then I did the Factory reset/wipe? and then it was doing somthing then it got stuck!!!

Thats it from then I cant install recover anything.

I can still access the Dowload mode. But it wont let me Download the stock firmware to the phone. It gets stuck at factoryfs.img.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langsalang:
Wow thanks.

Any way of getting around it?

I didn't read it anywhere that you weren't supposed to wipe on stock kernel.

I've done a wipe on stick before.

One of the guid by rootgalaxynote actually tell you do a wipe after you've gone to stock.

So I thought wiping it on stock was fine.

:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
The stock ICS kernels use MMC_Cap_Erase command. Basically, in a nutshell, this command causes the firmware in MOST Notes to mess up the eMMc chip, aka brick the phone.

There is a thread in the General section that someone has made a workaround that MAY revive your phone, but it is only partial and probably won't run good. Your only real choice is to take your phone to a Samsung service center and get the motherboard replaced. Your warranty may or may not cover it.

Question:

Do you have a triangle on your screen (on the Galaxy Note boot screen)? This voids the warranty. You said you could get into PC Odin but it fails at factoryfs.img. Did you try multiple times? Some bricks won't come on at all and some do this, but I'm just making sure you didn't only try once. Sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langsalang:
Thanks for your quik detailed reply.

At first I didn't have the triangle but I installed the abyss kernel (because I doing everything to try and revive it) so triangle was back.

Then I googled and found this guy who had found a way around.

He repatitioned it somehow and made it work?

I don't understand the the technical details.

Any ways sort of followed this persons guid and he didn't link it very well

So I did it half correct. Without using this special kernel.

At the phone didn't respond to anything.

So I turned it off and now phone is completely dead.

Lol

That's all I can do. Lol

It's dead. Black screen. Nothing. :'(

Well at least it doesn't show that I hacked it (I guess?) no triangle.

I'll try the place where I bought the phone.

If not I'll take to my insurence and tell them that my computer failed while I was updating the phone. First option will cost nothing. Second Orion will cost me £50 and in the mean time, gotta use iPhone.

Thanks again. I now understand what I did wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
I think you were trying what I told you about with the repartitioning.

But, it was probably really good that you fried it completely now so they can't tell. Good luck.

BT or Wifi

Mind of Mac is working on this issue. It seems that, for most of us, either Wifi works consistently or BT works consistently. To change from Wifi to BT or vice versa, you need to reboot.

This is still a better solution than an ICS rom where BT is out of the question. I have unlimited data and not bad modem speeds, so I can get by without Wifi for the most part. I need a BT headset to help me fall asleep at night and not get strangled by a corded connection.

Many have narrowed the BT toggle issue in our UCLB3 based roms down to the lidroid toggles. A reboot or taking out the lidroid toggles clears this as stock UCLB3 doesn't have this issue.
