YES! That worked perfectly.. Oh man that is a relief! I could kiss you on the mouth.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shorty87:
That worked for me, but then later I got a voice mail from somebody else and checked it. Deleted it but the icon remained. So I had to call myself and leave a message and then it finally cleared. Hopefully it doesn't happen all the time. It's pretty annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] FiveOhFox:
Go to settings>application manager then go to phone. Clear data. Icon disappears.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dave2metz:
I had the same problem. I called t mobile at 611 and the lady walked me through the process. My problem was tough because I had Google Voice as my voicemail, so that overrides tmobile voicemail. Anyways, she basically erased my google voice voicemail and set up the new voicemail with tmobile. Icon is not there and I got rid of that stupid google voice.

My 8gb nook boots but is stuck on the box screen. the screen has this kind of weird screen like it was broken or something. I just want to know how to fix it before my parents find out. i dont want to get in trouble. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Can you take a picture?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
It may be just hung. Press and hold down the "power" and the "N" button for about ten seconds and release. That 'should' un-hang it and power it off.

Nook tablet

this is how it looks like i want it back to normal help! it happend when i installed the nook recovery flasher app. then i got on. then when i turned it off it started doing this forever.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I'm betting its a broken recovery. Can you provide a link to where you got the app from?

There's a few things you can do to fix it. What I would do is create an sdcard with the clockworkmod recovery img on it so you can boot into that from the sdcard. From there I would restore albert's stock rooted recovery via clockworkmod. Then you'll want to flash the internal clockworkmod recovery zip file via the sdcard version of clockworkmod.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] htcdesirezgeorge:
I have the same thing but with a working recovery... I REALLY need to figure out how to fix this, any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
If you can get into recovery, try flashing a rom and booting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] htcdesirezgeorge:
The new ROM gets stuck in a CWN bootloop on the white N screen.

Anyone know where I can find a flashable CWM file?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sminki:
Hi, sensible answers only please :p If it matters, I'm running Debian Squeeze 64

Following Atarii's guide and using Androxyde's single line modded kernel

I'm having trouble getting a repacked kernel booting. My steps have the following possible issues:

When repacking ramdisk..

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > 1
[B]cpio: File ./1 grew, 770048 new bytes not copied[/B]

Is that something to be worried about? I would think so..

Secondly, unpacking and repacking exactly the same unmodified files result in a kernel.elf that is much larger:

5.5M kernel-3.0-insecure.elf (Androxyde's)
6.3M new_kernel.elf (mine)

Thirdly, the two reference posts use a different address for the ramdisk 0x41300000 and 0x41200000, (could someone please explain why?)

The result of this is a kernel bootloop, does any knowledgeable person know what could be causing the above problems? I can't get my head round it!

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
ok, you can only unpack the ramdisk 1 time (so use a kernel.sin from ftf)

once unpacked use:

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > newramdisk.gz

then pack it with the python command in androxydes guide

only change ramdisk.img@...... with newramdisk.gz@.....................
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sminki:
thanks for the fast reply nickholtus :highfive:

will give a try shortly, fingers crossed!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sminki:
extracted ramdisk from kernel.sin out of the ftf using unpack-kernelsin.pl, haven't modified the ramdisk, just repacked. The cpio errors are no longer there but it's still boot looping.

The RPM from http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...e-archive-released-with-building-instructions causes no boot at all, so I've used the one from Androxyde's kernel.

Any more clues? I spent far too long on this today :o but I really want to do this!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
which command do you use for repacking kernel????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sminki:
python mkelf.py -o new_kernel.elf kernel@0x40208000 newramdisk.gz@0x41300000,ramdisk RPM.bin@0x20000,rpm

I think i said that the ramdisk address is different in the two posts I linked to in the OP, these being 0x41200000 and 0x41300000, for the hell of it i've tried both!

I wish I could log what is actually going on at the initial stage, I'd have something more to offer than "why isn't it working" ;)

thank you championswimmer, as I'm pretty good with bash i'll look through your scripts as the menu system looks a bit long winded for me :)

It looks like all my problems are related to the RPM.. I've just packed a booting kernel with modified ramdisk! :D

[HTC One S] rakeshchn:
I was waiting to upgrade to Galaxy S3 on Tmobile from Vibrant. But they shocked me with the price ($280 after MIR, when One S is available at retailers for $180) and also I didnt like they removed FM tuner and Wolfenson dac from all US variants. I am looking towards One S now and would appreciate if you guys can answer some questions. I am familiar with flashing roms so if some of these are addressed by custom roms let me know guys

1) Does One S suffer from insuffcient ram issues like browser reloading pages when app swichting, launcher suspended from memory etc

2) Hows is the battery life for normal use (autosync on for gmail, FB etc and moderate use like browsing, few txts and calls).

3) Does GPS perform well for location based services and navigation

4) Are there signal strength issues, drpped calls etc when there is sufficint network

5) Is there FM tuner on Tmobile version and does it work with any headphones

6) Are there issues with MHL video out interms of resolution, refresh rate etc when hooking up with HDTVs and how is surround sound working

Thanks in advance!!
[HTC One S] Xdpker06:
1. No

2. 2 days for me

3. Yes

4. No

5. Yes, never tried it

6. Never tried it
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
1. No, there is about 250MB free on stock from what I remember. The larger issue is HTC's changes to multitasking. I question whether the 1GB of RAM would be enough 2 years from now though.

2. Easily 1 full day of moderate usage.

3. Yes

4. No, not really. It seems to have better coverage than some of the other phones you can buy from TMO. I dropped a call while using WiFi calling (the whole network connection dropped out), but I don't think it is a phone issue. I think TMO needs to work on their WiFi calling software.

5. Yes, 2 or 3 of them... sigh

6. idk
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
The One S is ****e m8, you get what you pay for. One S has a VGA front facing camera dude, that should say it all.
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
The front facing camera is TERRIBLE... but overall I think the One S is pretty awesome. Wish it had 2GB of ram though... but I'm happy with it.
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
I had it for all of 2 weeks, couldn't hack the super low storage space, non removable battery, pentile screen......and that god awful VGA. What a joke. Processor is top notch and the back is sexy, but over all it seems like Sensation 3.0 (2.0 was the Amaze fyi). After having 4.5" of samoled plus expandable storage and removable battery I immediately went back to Sammy. Got myself a Note and haven't regretted it. The GS3 is my next phone for sure when the price gouging goes down.
[HTC One S] Big_Den:

Pointing out the VGA as a weakness means nothing at all.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Good for you KillaHurtz, enjoy your note and your new GS 3 when you get it and have lots of fun with the superior front camera, most important feature right there! :rolleyes:

Us HTC one S owners will enjoy our superior processor (for performance per core, better power efficiency and far less heat produced), superior build and perceived quality, not to mention looks and design.......... superior android skin, superior main camera for photos and features in the camera and gallery etc. and better battery life etc. :)

In anandtechs review of the USA version of the GS 3, which has the S4, the one S and the XL whips its ass in the majority of benchmarks!

haha :D

Anyway, moving on:

1. I have disabled a ton of apps, which are not necessary and have no problems with multi-tasking, however, when switching from a game or some demanding app back to the browser, tabs do reload

2. There are plenty of threads on battery life here and plenty of screenshots of my usage for my review of the 1S (link in sig) and throughout that thread, to sum it up, amazing the best there is ;)

3. Very well, GPS locks on very quick for me (UK, N.I.), never properly used navigation but it does seem to work fine when I have quickly tried it out, if you aren't satisfied you can get tom tom or some other navigation app

4. As shown in that post above of mine linked by big_den, none whatsoever

5. Can't comment on t-mobile version but the international version we have a FM radio and it only works when headphones are plugged in

6. You can see my mini review of a standard generic MHL adapter below. It appears though that the refresh rate is a bug, as it only has a 24Hz refresh rate, however, a guy here modded a kernel so that the resolution is dropped to 720P and 60Hz refresh rate iirc.

Basically you go for the GS 3 if you want this stuff:

- better and bigger screen

- more storage

- NFC

- better community for custom ROMs etc.

- much better 1080P recording

Go for the one S if you want this stuff:

- far better out of the box experience, sense is much nicer to use and has great apps e.g. the dialer, gallery, calendar, camera etc. which can't be matched by 3rd party apps

- better battery life

- far better looks/design and build/perceived quality

- better camera for photos and features overall

In the real world, performance is more or less the same really.

EDIT:

Just realised you were talking about the USA versions, in that case the GPU and CPU is the same as the S, adreno 225 and S4

However, as I mentioned above the S whips the GS 3 that has the S4 etc. in the majority of stuff, so sense appears to be far better optimized than touchwiz regarding that.
[HTC One S] Nick L:
All US GS3 versions use the S4 MSM8960 which has the same GPU as the One S has (Adreno 225). In fact, graphics performance should be better on the One S as it's driving a smaller screen.

And to answer the OP:

1) Not really. Browser does reload from time to time but I've never had Sense reloads like I did on the Sensation.

2) Good in my experience - should be at least a day if not more.

3) Yes.

4) Not in my experience.

5) Yes. Worked with my usual headphones as well as old iPod ones.

6) Never tried it.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Yeah, I just noticed that he meant the USA versions and always keep forgetting about these mobiles having different hardware in different parts of the world :o

And yup, the one S (even the XL, which has the same res.) whips the GS 3 s4 version.......

http://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index...axy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants

So just shows that sense must be better optimized than touchwiz overall here.
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
Not quite sure how that was having my ass handed to me. The guy said he doesn't use the FFC, with faceunlock a good front facing camera is key. I also take a ton of pics with my friends that way, and all this coming from a n00b mean ****e you toothless bloke.

Well I also pointed out the pentile display which is gross, and the signal issue which there is tons of threads about. The One S and GS3 are similar to how the Sensation & GS2 T989 were related. Same processor, but the Sensation suffered from signal issues, lag and a poor FFC. Sense, whether you like it or not takes a lot of resources. FACT. The GS2 with the same exact processor performed leaps and bounds better and I have no doubt the GS3 is the same way this time around. I have owned all said devices, so this is not speculation or some bloggers paid opinion. The fact that you said US HTC One S users will have a superior processor.......umm how if it's the exact same one within the GS3?, 2gb of RAM sounds superior to me. Multitasking is a pain on the One S (one again, I have owned it) it can't even switch back to a webpage without having to reload. The One S may perform marginally better on an outdated & pixelated screen with crippled expansion abilities. Take that to the bank fanboys. Fail harder next time please :D

It all comes down to preference.

HTC always makes gorgeous exteriors that usually cause signal issues & they take forever to release source (Has is been yet?) Better build quality sure, but at the cost of performance?

Sense is super intensive on RAM and CPU and runs super deep into the android framework.

Samsung makes lighter, usually polycarbonate bodies to reduce weight and make them easier to replace. Signal has never been an issue with me on a Galaxy phone because of this design. Samsung released source code for the GS3 before the phone was officially released. CYANOGEN himself works for Samsung into helping them make the most cutting edge, efficient, and powerful coding for software.
[HTC One S] Big_Den:
Terminator19, you said what most people on this forum think, but in the most eloquent way. At the end of the day, this guy bought the S and had a bad experience. Even though thousands users and people in the industry disagree. Good that he likes his Note and all the best for his GS3.
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
You also mentioned the One S can load a pageful of .gifs faster than a Note or GS2, big surprise there bro. That's like comparing a Mustang to a Ferrari, of course the One S beats those at a totally useless test. You are comparing last years technology to one that is cutting edge. Of course the benchmarks are gonna be higher for the One S, it's running a smaller & lower rez screen. If were to run the same hardware on a 2" screen I would dust the One S by double. Kudos on the astonishing, non pertinent info which showcases your lack of how technology actually works. Kudos.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Yeah, I usually don't post too much "defending" the phone especially "attacking" other phones etc. but it is getting tiring and irritating seeing the same posts by the same couple of people (think we all know who the other one is :rolleyes:) who keep posting the same xxxx in every thread where someone asks about the one S vs xxx or the pros and cons etc. and thinking that it applies to every single S there is and therefore the mobile is **** etc. etc.

Indeed, I have no problems with him liking a different mobile etc. just don't see the point of trashing the phone in it's own sub-forum when he had a bad experience.
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
I'm not trashing anything dude, these are simple facts that people may be overlooking. Someone asked a legitimate question and I am answering it with real world experience. I loved the One S to be honest, great camera, great form factory and benches that would make the android horsepower gurus drool.

Believe me I was sold, I actually bought it I liked it so much. I'm only providing a balanced view of things, and while my attitude may seem crude, the facts are not. This is a forum where people who sometimes have no insight of these products look to users/owners for advice. I am trying to provide that from an actual, non biased place. Sorry if it seems otherwise, sincerely.

I gave up my One S because it didn't seem like much of an upgrade. I am one of the dudes that has his phone filled with .FLACs, and full movies for my 3 year old daughter. I am what I would consider a power user and most times need an extra battery to get me thru the day. I hate being plugged in and hate streaming from a cloud because most of the time it reduces the quality of music, which defeats my extensive .FLAC library. That, and the fact that I travel to places in my state where coverage isn't so great. Was it a bad experience, no. I love HTC, this particular device I had to let go because it didn't fit my lifestyle, that's it.
[HTC One S] dementor123:
1. Yes. It's a major issue with One X as well. I usually do a lot of browsing and have at least 3 tabs open and every time I switch to any other app (eg. Messaging) and go back to browser, it just reloads. This is ridiculous because sometimes I am typing something on the webpage before switching and I lose everything. Even xda app reloads after switching to messaging. I am thinking of getting GSIII because of this issue. I know I can root and get a custom Rom to make this work but again this is an expensive phone and such a trivial feature of android should work out of the box!

2. 1 day with gmail, 2 other personal emails, gvoice and a lot of browsing.

3. Yes

4. Yes. It's ironic that I never had any dropped calls with my older phones Amaze, MT4GS.

5. Never tried

6. Never tried. Sorry.
[HTC One S] HL123456:
1. I suffer from Wifi error after a system upgrade and now auto-reset after replacing a new one from Costco. But other things work pretty fine

2.less than 1 day

3.Yes, work quite well. But it eats a lot of battery

4.Sometimes drop calls.Also there are some 4G signal issues while using it indoor. But not as worst as Sensation 4G

5. Yes, there are FM tuner.

6. MHL work quite fine. I tested it on a 24" no-speaker-moniter. So don't know how it sounds like.

I suggest that you should wait for a GSIII instead, it will be a lot more better than One S. Replacable battery, upgradable memory(support up to 64 GB micro-SD card) , large battery(that's 2100mAh Vs. 1650mAh HTC One S), and also 2GB of ram(that's HTC One S 's double!!). But it will use Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor instead of quad-core, which means same as HTC One S. The only good thing about HTC One S is good camera, the brilliant HTC Sense 4.0, beats audio, extremly thin and light weight.

PS: If my One S suffer from annoying auto-restarting, can I just return the phone to Costco and grab a GS III??
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
One S is the best bang for your buck right now in the US. Although i wonder if we are gonna get 4.1 quickly since it looks like a minor upgrade.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys, so ive rooted many phone and custom rommed them before (if theres such a word as "rommed") But im really stuck with this wildfire

Its running 2.2.1 froyo with Hboot 1.01.0002

what im trying to do is downgrade so i can install a custom recovery, flash roms and kernels etc.

i've done this once with a hboot 1.01.0001, its really easy

i just cant do it with 1.01.0002, i ran step 1, made a gold card and everything, ive tried about 5 times now following each step carefully, when using step2.bat it resets the phone multiple times and then step 2 closes and returns back to the Hboot menu with 1.01.0002 still.. why is this? Is it because im locked on virgin media (a sim carrier here in the UK)

please respond!

thanks, Jack
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Do you get any errors? And have you tried a different SD card? Some don't play nice as gold cards. Best try another one if you haven't already and report back :D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Also after you run step 2 does anything change in your rom? If not then the ruu is not running. It should wipe everything, assuming that its a full ruu and not just a hboot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Once or twice on step1.bat it said failed a few times, but got it working, i was using a kingsinton SD Card? ill find another one and try again soon. i tried doing Ruu thing, and it said i couldnt do it :S I cant remember what exactly came up, i think it was "Customer error 131" ?

thanks for replying and please reply back! :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
OK that ruu error is the cid error I believe so the gold card is not working. Also of bat1 fails the ruu will fail as bat1 patches the misc partition so the ruu will believe the phone is on a lower hboot than it actually is. Then and only then will the ruu "upgrade" to the lower hboot. Then you are all set for revolutionary :cool:

But if you got bat1 to work without errors, and if your ruu spat out 131 then its probably your goldcard pal. I've always had good luck with sandisk SD cards, official of course ;)

rocking out with my android powered ics sense-ation XE B-)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Brilliant, Ill give it a try soon with an sandisk SD Card, what a load of annoying stuff to do just to root the bloody thing :silly:

With my LG 2x its so easy haha, thanks for the help, if you could keep posted and ill report back when ive tried again

Matt has created a utility for this purpose. Get it here:

Option 1 is what you want IF you are running a GB ROM or are on an ICS leak 79 or earlier. Anything after 79 and you cannot get back to Gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdstaz:
Thanks a lot! And should the install fail, I can just use option 2...correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n3tt3chman:
does this method root your phone in the process? I want ICS but I don't want to root and not be able to get future updates.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
No. After you've applied the update, it will NOT be rooted. You need to use options 6 or 7 to root ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deathman20:
Makes me want to do this... but also might just want to wait for official ICS just to make sure nothing is different.

Does this wipe data or just apply the update like the OTA does? I just got my phone today and finally got it setup and don't want to wipe again :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Official OTA is due anytime this WEEK, can you really not wait that much longer to not have to do anything special?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] notalent-assclowns:
I can certainly wait, but I just went from the Nexus to Razr and the browsers are killing me. Both the ICS stock browser and Chrome are so much better and have all of my bookmarks from my synced Chrome account. I don't want to go through the process of setting up the phone again, so I'll just wait.
