[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr8tivegal:
First of all I apologize if this has been covered, I have been trying to find a solution for 3 days straight. I have a Rogers Wireless HTC One X I managed to unlock bootloader and root as well as having access to TWRP 2.1.8. recovery.

My problem is when I tried to apply the 3 dot removal mod my phone suddenly would not boot past the first screen, and a message would appear for developers use do not distribute but just stay on that screen. I have tried numerous things to no avail. I can boot in recovery and mount sd card from there (but have not found a successful way to restore from within recovery mode) otherwise in fastboot etc. the computer does mount the phone at all. it will not mount as a device properly so I cannot run the RUU and flash to stock.

So I am left with a unmountable and unbootable phone (brick) and have no other ideas on how to fix it if possible. BTW the device does show in device mgr and the computer gives the connect and disconnect alert, but it will not mount. Also, I have read the bootloader has to be relocked to flash back to stock if I relock the phone I cannot access recovery therefore an endless nightmare. Also, within TWRP recovery I try to reboot and it gives an error saying no Android OS found, install a rom or restore from backup (which I have neither) so I have to hold the power and dwn volume button to reboot each time to switch from recovery to fastboot. I think its toast.

Thank you in advance for any responses, I have been up almost 36 hours straight trying to figure this out and the phone is not even a week old. :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
There's a link in dev to unofficial twrp with usb mount support install that by following the directions in the thread. Then you'll be able to copy a rom to the phone for flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Or you can install HTC Sync on your computer and that may allow you to use a RUU to flash back to stock. HTC Sync has the required drivers to make a Windows PC recognize the HOX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr8tivegal:
Thank you very much I will look into that today. Fingers crossed! :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
i ran into a similar situation about a week ago. hard shut down the phone by holding down power button for like 10 seconds, then boot into bootloader. hit fastboot. connect your phone to computer, and fastboot oem lock bootloader. now you can ruu. Download Rogers RUU utility and follow steps. Voila! Phone is just like new! but first make sure you still have your old unlock_bin code in case you want to reunlock bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr8tivegal:
Yes, thank you I have HTC Sync installed and it does not recognize the phone when it is connected either. I will keep searching. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr8tivegal:
Yes, I have tried relocking bootloader, it did not help with the phone being recognized by the computer also when I oem lock I cannot access recovery and such. I will have some more time to poke around with it, I have downloaded the RUU utility although it sends back error with device not found. Thanks for your reply, I will keep at it I know the phone can not be bricked, well I am hoping not! :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Heres some pics i also wrote a little review in this thread
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MMakoto:
thanks for the pics, but does the case seem a little bulky compared to those tpu and hard plastic cases?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Actually no it dosent seem bulky at all. And the grey rubber on side of case gives it a way better grip
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FRuiTBoOT:
Thanks for pics, goes well with the white. A bit too much for my tastes, thanks again for the info.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vince2398:
Is it a matte finish on the visor screen protector or is it completely clear and does not degrade the screen clarity? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Its a matte finish. I had a clear invisishield on but this screen protector comes with a lifetime warranty and you can actually take it off...wash it and put it back on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vince2398:
Ok thanks, so its one of those screen protectors that degrades the screen clarity?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Unfortunately yea. But im only usint it til i can get an otterbox or ballistic
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cruzin95:
I have this case also. One thing that I don't like is that when you put the phone down on a table, the white plastic sits on the table, not the gray rubber. I'm guessing the white plastic will eventually get pretty scratched up. You can place the phone on the table and spin the phone like a top.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] NeoandGeo:
Would it be possible to upgrade a stock ROM with an official update.zip when one receives it? If so please post it. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
I don't think so. You'd have to have root to put the file in the proper place in your filesystem. I don't think it would flash from the SD card without doing the rigmarole we've been doing anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akhnatenor:
As long as the file is signed by Motorola, wouldn't it be as simple as putting it on your sd card, booting into stock recovery, and picking that file or naming it properly so it is picked up automatically? Isn't that what an OTA update does?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
Again, I could be wrong, but I don't think OTAs are downloaded to the SD-card. I think they're put in /preinstall in the phone's internal memory.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmcghee1973:
Nah.. i went to official. 181 but putting zip on sd card ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
If you want it to be recognized as an official update (to be installed by the actual bootloader) you have to just drop it as "update.zip" in the correct place and it'll install fine. The problem is you have to be rooted to place it *into* that place.

But that's not a problem :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bakerboy448:
if i get it.

i'll see what i can do ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mickeyvnminnie:
My phone is downloading the update. How to extract it out?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] NeoandGeo:
Ahh, should have explained. I am rooted, but everything is stock besides SU and Wireless Tether. :good:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatrocket:
Does it seem that the automatic brightness is unreliable? I turn it on in my dimly lit room (not dark, just dim) & the brightness goes to the lowest setting. Then, if I mess with it much, it might go to full brightness when the ambient light hasn't changed. I just take it off auto and set it to 50% manually. I think this is the only "issue" I've found with mine. Anyone else?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotTheDroidUAreLookingFor:
I have the same issue with a galaxy tab on honeycomb so I think it's just android. I only use manual settings.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nschneider7:
Yeah I can't use auto. It's always too dim. It seems like there are only like 3 settings for it. Least brightness middle and full power. It's a lot easier to just set it how I need it and turn on performance mode. Usually I'm not moving around too much so I don't need to change it after its set. There's probably a way to set it so it's not so wrong all the time. I know with my DROID 3 people were always talking about changing the values because the back light only worked out on auto in the ics builds. So it's possible its in those settings.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahalan:
same here - auto is unusable
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omidz:
Same thing for me too
[LG Optimus 2x] lgnationrc:
I want to remove Google+ but I heard from some there is no problem and others I heard that the gallery won't work anymore.

Has anyone have any experiences with removing Google+?

I have Gingerbread, stock ROM, everything. I am rooted though.

Thanks,

lgnationrc
[LG Optimus 2x] arvindlakra21:
Hi my friend.Just do it:good:There will be no problem with gallery.Did it the very first day when rooted my stock gingerbread ROM. Didn't face any problem:D.
[LG Optimus 2x] RknDroidFreak:
If you remove google+, then the instant upload of your photo won't work. But, I really son't think anyone needs to care about that!!

here's your green light for uninstalling it..
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
Just uninstall! Nothing bad will happen. :)
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
I searched this forum. I dont know if it is Android specific or device specific. All I know...theres this super annoying problem. While wtiting in the text box, if the message im writing gets long and I have to correct a typo I made or simply want to move the cursor to another location in the paragraph, the dumb cursor bounces off the spot I selected and goes someplace far off..sometimes even 3 or 4 lines up. Sometimes it just wont move there no matter how many times I touch that spot. Its like it bounces off it and goes someplace else. If the message is short, it doesnt do this.

Is there any fix for this hella annoying problem? It makes it extremely difficult to edit what I wrote.
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Stock device? Have you thoroughly tested your screen to rule out display problems? This problem is certainly not present with my device, but I had a similar issue on my Droid incredible that was fixed by changing roms.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Also happens on some touchscreens when you are charging and nudge the cord in the port a bit. The power fluctation causes the digitizer to spaz out until unplugging, or locking and unlocking the screen while plugged still.
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
If you ask me I'd say its pure stupidity on HTC's part. I miss my inc that had the trackpad. All I'm saying is this. If there isn't going to be a physical way built into the front of the device to move the cursor then atleast include on screen arrows like in Sense 4. To me its just dumb that the only way to move the cursor is to touch where you want to correct. Its this reason alone that I don't enjoy typing on my Rezound like I did on my Eris or Incredible.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Agreed. You get used to it though. Sort of.

You could try reseting the calibration in settings.

Sent from my evolving Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
Lol, I have what they call the...Fat Finger Syndrome. I'm gonna work on seeing if I can port the Sense 4 keyboard to Sense 3.6. Working on that now.
[HTC Rezound] bukithd:
But no one wants trackballs anymore. It's all about the massive screens and battery draining. I miss my Inc too. RIP trackball. Another option would be to download swiftkey. you can turn on arrows on the keyboard. makes life easier.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
There are already flashables of the arrowed keyboard for 3.6.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I have a similar problem when pasting text. You put the cursor and tap and hold where you want to paste, and it jumps and selects some other text. If you hit paste, then it wipes what you previously wrote.

What's up with that?
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
To answer everyone... Its stock 2.3.4 ROM. And it does this regardless if it is plugged in to a charger or not. I have calibrated in the past for other reasons, but I dont think thats the problem. It seems to happen only when theres at least 4 lines or more of text. The more text in the box, the worse the problem becomes. It's not like a calibration issue. Because when you touch the spot in the text box to move the cursor there, the cursor actually does move there ..but only for a brief micro-second as it quickly bounces off that spot and lands some places else. Like I said, it only starts happening as you start to get 4 or more lines in the box. Now this box here in the quick reply, its not giving me any trouble ...yet. but some forums that use small text boxes and Facebook especially..omg its bad at facebook..
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Ah yes, I'm on ICS (Newt's XXX ROM to be specific) and I believe I see what you are talking about. Typed a long response in the comment box on the Facebook app, and when scrolling the paragraph the caret does indeed bounce. It is essentially trying to stay within the tiny viewing window.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Actually I dont use the Facebook app, cant stand it. I use the browser. Either the mobile or the full site.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
lol Yes, the app is rather crummy. The issue persists in the mobile version of the site and the full site to a lesser extent, depends on the amount of viewing space and amount of text. Consistent with your symptoms.

Leaning towards it being an Android problem or at least HTC Sense problem rather than specifically this device as a result. Newt's XXX ROM is a Sense 4 port after all.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Hmm. It seems to vary by page, for me. But yes, Facebook definitely does this, but so does Discus. I think it's a problem with Flash. Anyway, I "select all" and "cut" then reload the page and paste my text back in. Then I can navigate around the text normally for a while.

This even happens in the text entry window in xda, if I use the website instead of Tapatalk. I am also pretty sure this happened with my DInc as well.

(currently running stock GB)
[HTC Rezound] bluetooth_decay:
Yes, I've seen it sometimes. To compound the problem, sometimes the arrow keys on the Sense keyboard don't work properly; the left/right arrows instead move the cursor up and down.

+1 on missing the Inc's optical "trackball". Never knew how much I used it until I didn't have it.
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Arrow keys on sense? Where? Did not see any. Thats why I love swiftkey x because it had them arrows and they were a lifesaver. Only reason im jot using it now is because I did not purchase SKx yet. And skx kept causing problems in some IM apps I use. Its now Swiftkey 3. And im seeing some bad reviews of things I dont like. Will wait... Unless there is some other quality keyboard app ..yes quality..not clutzy..and have arrows. I thought about the Hackers keyboard but....ehh rather small keys and is better suited for landscape or a touchpad.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Arrowed Keyboard.
[HTC Rezound] Ron-ski:
I'm going to revive this old thread because I'm having exactly the same problem as described in the first post, but on three different devices. First one is my S4 with stock but rooted 4.2.2 using TouchPal keyboard (great cut/paste/arrow keys/select/select all functionality), second is an old Android tablet running 4 something, lastly my brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, which is stock 4.3 with stock keyboard.

They all exhibit the same behavior, text entry works fine until I move the cursor position then I can't get back to the end of what I'm writing, only seems to happen when I'm using a browser (Boat Browser) and trying to reply to a forum, might try a different browser and see what happens. When it happens it completely breaks the cursor control options in TouchPal with whole sections of text just disappearing when trying to move the cursor via the keyboard. Once it's happened even submitting the post and editing it again still often has the same problem.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I think this is just an Android thing, I run across it from time to time on various devices as well, and just tap somewhere else in the text, then drag the cursor to the end of the text and continue.
[HTC Rezound] Ron-ski:
But that's the thing, you try and drag the cursor to the end and it's as if it's on elastic and springs back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byakuya88:
Hello, I want to buy a Galaxy SIII and I have the opportunity to have it for good price but the problem is that it's the white version .... what do you think about this color??? is it for girls ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahitsgotahemii:
Unfortunately the blue one is for boys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ket:
not sure if serious

if it was pink or strawberry blonde i could maybe understand but white...:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byakuya88:
:laugh::laugh: ok so if i understand well there is no problem with this color....i personaly found white phone a little bit girly and i want to now what do you think about that......you have it in white color ????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoozyBE:
Hmm, now I wonder which phone colour transgenders should use...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
White cars, toilet paper and snow are for girls too...

Smh...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byakuya88:
im talking about phones, if you think this question is stupid why do you answer??? i want to buy and i think this is the best place to ask questions....i found white phones a little bit girly where is the problem ???? this is my point of view maybe im right maybe not....this is why im asking this question
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lpuboy87:
ummmm...no? I have the white galaxy and I love it. I always had black phones so its great to have a change and I think it looks amazing in white. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neverendingxsin:
I dont see how the white could possibly be for girls lol. Im a guy and got the white because ive always had a black phone and wanted something different. In my opinion the white version looks better but ill be slapping a case on mine so it wont matter :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byakuya88:
thank a lot.....it's not too flashy or something like that ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoozyBE:
White one is awesome! When in a dark room the frame will light up because of the backlit buttons which is very cool.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
For hundreds of years, pink was a masculine colour. It was bold and strong therefore for boys. Its only the last 30 years been a girls colour
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MUFC17JW:
I like it but its really up to you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddurandSGS3:
You have to use the phone everyday, so go with what you like. who gives a ****?

if you want white, get white. if you dont want white, dont get white.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
People thinking it looks girly are more worried what people think of them than what they think of the phone, and anyway I think the S3 looks cheap amd plasticy in blue but looks amazing in white.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmhung100:
I got a white phone for 3 days. It looks cool, nice and clean. My friends like it a lot but they will get a AT&T instead of my international phone.

+1 for white
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byakuya88:
what are you talking about ??? i want to now what people think about this color because I have the opportunity to have it for a very good price....and i want to now if it's too flashy beacause i always buy black phones...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Its what YOU think.

Nobody here gives a f*ck what colour you pick.

Do your own thing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
I know lots of people that think white phones are for girls.

I would of bought a white iPhone 4 if it was released when it was meant to be... just because i wanted to look different.

For people saying that they have always had black phones and wanted a change so they went for the white SIII is talking complete bullsh*t.

Does Samsung sell a black SIII? No. You only bought the white one because the blue one was delayed and you couldnt wait any longer.

Another thing you need to consider is, i have heard that the blue one has a tint of purple in it.. mostly on the home button.

I personally like the blue one more. It looks like its made out of metal.. brushed metal. The white one looks something like this>>>

Cheap PVC plastic
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddurandSGS3:
this is exactly what i was saying.
[HTC Rezound] xv-6800:
My Rezound seems to offer no way to change the Home Clock. I can add clocks, but I can't change or delete this one clock that is set to Arizona. I turned off Location Settings, too, but I still have the one Arizona clock (presumably because that's where Verizon ships from).

I am also trying to show a summary of a few scheduled activites on my Home screen, to no avail. It seems useless to me to have a Calendar widget that only shows one activity, because I would think people would want to see at least a few so they know what their day might be like, without having to always click on something. I know I have the option to select different views; trouble is that the other views are too big to be allowed to fit on the Home screen.

Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, I don't know how Android got to be so popular. Although it LOOKS cool, it seems very clunky trying to find things (things are often not sensibly placed), and the stuff like changing a clock or displaying activities should be easier to do. Perhaps I am missing something? :crying:
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
That is a bug in the stock HTC CLOCK.

I live in upstate NY and my clock insists I am in new York city (if I use current location) and there is absolutely no way to delete that location.

I have tried deleting and reinstalling the clock etc and NYC just keep reappearing no matter what I do.

If I go to edit where it should be possible to delete NYC it isn't even listed.
[HTC Rezound] xv-6800:
This phone has been out for how long now? I run a software company myself, and there's no way we'd let a simple little bug like that ruin our reputation, never mind leaving our customers frustrated for this long. In fact, we'd have fixed something like that within days!

Thanks for letting me know that I spent nearly 20 hours on this phone, trying to figure it out. :eek: Do you happen to know if there is anything like a registry editor or something we can use to edit settings under the hood?

What about having an agenda listing on the Home screen, like Windows Mobile used to have? Know anything settings that might allow that? Or, am I wasting my time, there, too? I mean, first the clock, then I beat my head against the wall trying to get my Windows Media Player playlists to go across with HTC Sync, only to give up and manually copy them using "disk drive" mode. That's actually almost worse than the clock thing, in that HTC Sync offers the playlist option, but doesn't even see them on the PC!:rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
For the calendar, which widget are you using. If you are using the one that is only 1 grid tall, that one is only made to show 1. If you need more than 1 event, just use the larger calendar widget.
[HTC Rezound] xv-6800:
Problem is that the other larger sized widgets aren't allowed to be place on the Home Screen, because a message says there is not enough room. SIGH
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Tap the home button while on the Sense Rosie homescreen to bring the view out to display up to all 7 panels of the launcher. If you don't have all 7 active you have an option to add a panel. You may also delete an entire panel at once by tapping and holding the panel, then dragging to Delete. This allows you to add a fresh blank panel afterwards.

Alternatively, choose a panel to clear out manually. Tap and hold on icons and widgets until you enter an editing mode where you may reposition items or drag to the Delete icon.

It is simply wanting you to add a panel and/or clear out clutter manually first to ensure it doesn't delete your existing items.

Also note the Play Store has other launchers available you can try instead of HTC's Sense. Some allow more homescreens, but you will lose use of the widgets exclusive to the Sense interface. Some have comparable widgets integrated and there are apps with widgets in the Play Store too. It is suggested to get a feel for the stock Sense launcher a bit longer though.
