[HTC One S] syntropic:
I don't think you are trolling, I just don't think you have your eyes wide open. Ask yourself... If the galaxy nexus from Sprint (also a carrier btw) can switch to Google Voice without a problem... Or even my TMO Androids in the past could switch from "My Carrier" (<<--hint hint, there is a test on this!) to Google Voice, but now suddenly on this new flagship TMO Android, I can't seem to switch it over... we have to ask ourselves the obvious question: if this could be done before, but now it can no longer be done, who stands to benefit from preventing Google Voice from being used instead of "My Carrier"? Ummmm.... Could it be MY CARRIER????

And please, I am not aware of the motivation which allowed your common sense to get off 3 bus stops ago but although TMO is not a manufacturer, do you think that HTC, out of some altruistic code of capitalistic benevolence, decided to generously install onto the One-S: Access My T-Mobile, T-Mobile Mall, MobileLife Contacts, Visual Voicemail, Bonus Apps, CarrierIQ, T-Mobile TV, Zinio, and Where's my Water? Each with their own HTC-designed garish magenta icons (where appropriate)? Or that HTC chose to make a many of these system apps and not regular uninstallable apps so that you needed to resort to ICS's "disable" feature (thank you Google), or, in the extreme case use Titanium Backup's 'Bloatware Melter' to rid your system of them?

Sure Google wrote the OS, and HTC was a little selfish in creating a mandatory integration of Sense into all Android phones (without having to root and flash another ROM which is not in everyone's ken), but I don't think Sense 4 is all that bad, so I commend them from removing their heavy hand at least compared to v. 3....

But without a doubt, the most greed-centric of this triad, T-Mobile, (while not a manufacturer, certainly has a few employees who can code I am sure), unilaterally directs, controls, or otherwise ordains that either HTC or another third party to integrate the above described software which has the sole purpose to create an unremoveable advertisement on your phone. This software therefore restricts, limits, egregiously impedes and restrains you from removing ~750MB from a phone which they marketed as having almost 30% more internal RAM then reality thereby duping the unenlightened masses from having full functionality of the phone they just spent $600 on.

Yeah.... You are right good sir!! T-Mobile is only a carrier... They would never try to make it difficult for a user to remove a component from the phone that only brings them value...you know such as their voicemail and visual voicemail.

I just must be a conspiracy nut.

P.S. My phone is rooted.

Wow that worked....Incredible.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Nice rant...not useful, but I hope you feel better...meanwhile the OP has solved his problem..
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Well the rant has its foundations in a valid customer complaint...you just happen to trigger it. I like TMO, as they by and large area more hacker friendly and usually their plan prices + things like Wi-Fi calling raise them far above their competitors. But it is with 100% certainty that they read these boards and know we are above average customers... Who love the hardware but appreciate them just the same. Would it be unreasonable (I am serious... Is this just too honest for a carrier to do?) To have them offer a clean Sense only version for $60 more? I didn't run the math, but it would allow them to (i) expose a practice their customers hate but that all carriers take part in for purposes of revenue generation, (II) give customers the option of getting a "better" phone without these space-stealing, CPU-hogging apps or services and still make the money up on the front end?

I know why they might be disinclined... Because it would draw focus to the fact that--just like IE in Windows NT, they would be sharing on thin ice by forcing users to use it even tolerate these apps. This in turn would expose all carriers to the scrutiny of the public (and maybe even draw official inquiries) on these issues forcing them to probably remove them, however, they would have little justification for raising the price (if they were forced to stop this practice I mean).

They all got into a little hot water over CarrierIQ, and overall, they are pushing it again with these flagrant "value-added" non-removable (and possibly illegal) pieces of software..simply for revenue at the expense of the customer; it's really a bad business practice. If they had any integrity, they would continue to act pro-customer as they have been (comparatively) thus far and try to make the word "carrier" not such an offensive one.. in other words, be different. Stop doing it, and advertise that they have stopped. Tell the truth.

[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Well, the did allow HTC to retain the "disable" on most of the bloat, so all we're really talking about here is Carrier IQ, pushing their own voicemail service and a few other little items...I'd say pretty good compared to the red themed monstrosities I used to get from Verizon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xirurg_nbr:
Hey guys! I am having an issue with my galaxy nexus: it is an unlocked phone from UK and it is stuck with 4.0.1 . It says that I have an update, but it freezes on boot and display the "damaged android" image every time I try to update. The phone is completely stock with yakjuxe, which I am guessing is rare. I have seen all the threads on update but none specifies yakjuxe, so I kinda worried to do anything.

Any safe way to manually update the phone?

EDIT: also,do I have to go to 4.0.2 first?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chnky18:
anybody here that has or had both gsm nexus and tmo branded galaxy s2 who can let me know which has faster speed on tmobile.

Currently have and love my vzw nexus but in order to pay down student debts, Im going to switch to tmo $30pp plan and save $100 a month in the process. Would love to get a gsm nexus but dont know if I could afford it. The only way I would do it is if the hspa+ speeds are significantly better than sg2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
>.<

PS:

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II (Hercules) - 42Mbps HSPA+ radio

GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus (maguro) - 21 Mbps HSPA+ radio

Real world usage: typically little to no difference with the 42Mbps radio pulling ahead due to the 42Mbps radios in most newer T-Mobile phones using MIMO to get multiple downlinks at once. In absolutely ideal, theoretical situations the SGSII will beat the GN for download speeds. In real world usage, it's relatively a non-issue. In the long run you will pay more for the SGSII than the GN due to the contracts. There are some fun ways to really save money on T-Mobile if you know what you're doing.

Own your own cell service.

Comparisons of other phones to the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chnky18:
im going to buy either phone outright and that means I can get a used s2 cheaper than nexus...i will not be in contract...pp only. I appreciate the answer that speeds are pretty much the same in real world usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funziebear:
S2 was faster for me 16-20 in Cal all day g nex around 7-10 but that's enough for what I use my phone for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
S2 is 42mbps HSPA (as many new T-Mo phones) and will be considerably faster than the GNex, a 21mbps device.

The speed is nice but kinda crazy to make your whole buying decision on it. I'd definitely say that in real-world use, the differential in speeds is far less noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chnky18:
well seeing how i have a vzw nexus right now and love it...i think im going to see about a used gsm nexus for $300 or less, I know I can get an s2 from a buddy for $250 in good condition. besides 7-10mb is what i get around here on vzw so that would be what im used to.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703951&page=47

I am working on getting this installed.

When on Gingerbred I was rooted, and S-ON(stock).

What I did so far:

1.) Go into HBoot.

2.) Fastboot PH98IMG.zip. I pulled boot.img out of the zip file and renamed it to PH98IMG

3.) Recover, go to SD and open CONROMv4FINAL to install

During installation process it gets to 26% and fails.

The last pass in the log is

"Beginning Experimental Security Identification"

Then fails

"read_file() loading "/tmp/initrd.img" failed: No such file or directory"

Then when I continue it says that Con Rom 4 was successfully installed though that should not be the case? Just boots into white screen with HTC emblem.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Clearly you messed up the boot image installation. If you are S-ON, it will read either "S-ON" during the install OR S-OFF during the install ONLY IF YOU HAVE FLASHED THE BOOT.IMG CORRECTLY FIRST. The initrd.img failure means that the boot image you have installed is currently corrupted.

To use a PH98IMG.zip, either put it on your SDcard named PH98IMG.zip not in ANY folders, reboot to hboot and allow it to flash.

If you want to use fastboot, extract the boot.img OUT of the PH98IMG.zip and use fastboot to flash it. The way I identify S-ON is by checking out the boot image that is installed. The script takes info from the current boot image and identifies the security that way. If the boot image can't be looked at, the script has no clue what to do and will fail.
[HTC Rezound] red_dog007:
Ah. Thank you. Did the trick.

Think there was a combination of factors. Late, wife has been up my butt today thus missed a line of reading.

Im guessing Sense is what is making ICS looking so much like Gingerbred with Sense 3.5?

Might have to trash it. I like Sense features, but the GUI of ICS is much nicer to look at. Can't even tell one is on ICS. lol.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yeah sense is the reason. I think the minor tweaks between gb sense 3.5 and ICS sense 3.6 make it much better though. Like no more white menus and stuff.

No. Only lock screen sounds you could change. I don't think length matters but you could take a short mp3 and change it to an .ogg file and rename it to whatever the name of the unlock sound is named ( probably unlock.ogg) and place this in /system/media/audio/UI and reboot. It should then play that ogg every time you unlock the phone. Although I would find a long sound to be annoying.

Hey, I just installed HFS and my phone stutters a lot while installing apps. I did not have this problem in GB or CM7. I have only had this phone for 2 days, so I'm not sure if its just me not remembering how fast it was in GB or CM7.

I have the phone overclocked to 1.45 Ghz. Same problem. The phone will completely lock up and scrolling through things is a nightmare while installing apps while I think I remember happily using my phone while installing apps in GB or CM7.

I have reflashed a few times, I don't think it has fixed it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakedbread:
I wasnt sure which sub-forum to post this in but...

I was wondering if anyone else notices that the lockscreen is sometimes very slow to pop up when you push the power button (coming out of a deep sleep/idle state)

I used to experience this problem with my S2 and even my Galaxy Nexus but I find its pretty bad sometimes on the S3 as well...

Does anyone have any clue/solution as to why this happens?

I can guess that the phone is in a deep sleep/idle state with the CPU clocked very low, and it needs some time to ramp up once the power button "awakes" the phone - but if you've ever pushed the button on an iphone or OneX you'll notice the lockscreen pops up right away ....so what gives?

We have arguably the fastest CPU/GPU combination in a phone right now and sometimes these small things bug me a bit...

also goes for stuff in the dialer like answering a call or ending a call - you'll notice a slight delay/lag.

I'm almost 100% sure that's a samsung/TWZ/software issue, but ya, just curious on how no one else noticed this since the S1 and S2.

Any feedback or tips would be appreciated

I've tried both stock LF2 and am now on WanamLite v1.3 now , so ive already gotten a feel for stock and custom rom/kernels , all of which are the same in terms of experiencing that lockscreen wake delay

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
That's deep sleep, preserving you tons and tons of battery life.

When you open the phone and it's in deep sleep, it will take time to actually fire-up the CPU/GPU back to a high clock.

I don't see why people hate this, even laptops 'sleep' and re-open in seconds, same thing here and for the same reason, saving battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennisfisch:
this exactly, nothing one can do about it. Sames is true for every microprocessors ive ever used in embedded systems. It takes time for every system to come out of deep sleep, yet they really do save *tons* of battery life.

If deep sleep were turned off everybody and their dog would talk about miserable battery life on the s3... on the order of about 8-10 hrs while not using it at all i would guess

Hi,

I would like to recycle my HTC Desire in "tablet",

to give to my three year old son so he can play games.

He loves Angry Birds.

My current configuration :

Hboot Alpharev Data++ / 6.93.1002 - Recovery 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC 3 - Radio 5.17.05.23 - Main software version 2.22.73.5 - Security off - Build-mode ship - Rom BCM RC4.0U0 by DK_Zero-Cool

What I want :

- Cut all the phone networks (in any case there will be no SIM card)

- Ability to activate the wi-fi

- No access to parameters

Which rom would be best for that ?

Alternative :

Under CyanogenMod it is possible to have user profiles.

Is it possible to create a profile "plane" by default,

Leaving the possibility to connect admin with password.

Any advice are welcome.

Thank you for reading
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Flash the latest CM7 , if it has no simcard then it won't be connected to the network either way, you can turn on flight mode if you want, although what difference that will make I don't know.

You can still connect to wifi etc. with no sim and airplane mode.

So you will essentially have a media device, and I'm guessing that's what you want.

Since you're giving this to your young son, I would also recommend erasing recovery:

fastboot erase recovery

Furthermore, I'd recommend installing a launcher in which you can hide apps, so you can hide things like settings, SU, etc. I know ADW Launcher EX gives you the ability to change the menu when you press menu from the homescreen, so you could hide settings from there too, and only leave the ADW settings so you could get it back (don't think you can hide apps in that though, checking now). Essentially, you want to make this phone kid-proof, so he doesn't mess something up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikslawlok:
Thank a lot for your answer.

Anyway, if CyanogenMod can not activate it,

without any SIM card,

it suits me very well. :good:

Yes, exactly.

Should I do it with adb ?

It seems nice.

Anyway thank you for your advices.

I will test it all, when I have received my Galaxy S3 :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
No, those are fastboot commands, you do it in fastboot. Hence why the command starts with "fastboot".

Boot into fastboot mode (poweroff, then hold back and power). You need fastboot setup, if you don't then unzip the attached file into c:\ and type the commands:

cd\
fastboot erase recovery

REMEMBER TO DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE SET EVERYTHING UP
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikslawlok:
I made a mistake by making my question.

I was wrong because "fastboot" is in the same folder as "adb" on my computer.

Do you mean, after have do the entire installation ?

For your information we do not use "Windows" at home, but "Kubuntu".

Thank you again for your advices and quick answers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Oh, then if you have fastboot set up then don't worry about the file I attached. Yes, after you finish installing and modding everything (remember after you flash cyanogenmod you need to flash google apps), then I'd recommend wiping recovery... this way your kid can't accidentally boot into it and start erasing/ installing stuff.
