[HTC One S] syntropic:
I am reading this thread from the beginning and commenting when I have a comment or question, so ignore it if anything I ask is in this thread...

Anyway, I see all these comments (both here and other threads about this dismal "multitasking" ability. I honestly do not understand the complaints.

First, I am pretty sure (and any devs may be able to confirm this) but an apps propensity to remain a running thread is due, in part, to the app itself. I know the OS managed all running processes at the end of the day, but I notice that some apps quit rather quickly, and others (such add this XDA premium app, which will stay alive seemingly for hours...i.e. I will open it after an hour and it will still be in the last post I was looking at previously).

Secondly, what part of multitasking is not working? When you go to recent apps (the right hard button) are you not able to open any of those ~10 apps and pick up where you left off? In most every case (although I have not ever gone back more than 5) the app is fine.. it just needs to update the page, but except for a few occasions, the app has never terminated or restarted.

Multitasking has always worked with the Android in my experience. My last phone, a MT4G/Glacier, was just a single core @ 1.2KHz, and I jumped between running apps without a problem (but not many). I did this using an app which unintentionally allowed me to "multitask" by giving me the option to pull up a version of the drawer and start a new app without hitting "back" or home. [Btw, the app is called multicon, and it is sort of an organizational app..it displays its version of an app drawer overlaid on top of whatever app you are in by hitting a small transparent switch on the left side (customizable) of the screen..from there you can open a new app and then close it or reopen the first one using the switch again).]

I use this app with the 1S, but it's not as necessary (but I have grown used to it), but in any event, I still am able to have at least 3 or 4 apps running simultaneously without a problem.

[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Agreed, I don't really see where the multitasking is a problem, IMO it's fine maybe not what ppl want, but if the app did stay consistently running and the games did stay running you would complain about battery life, much like a pc's multitasking, when you alt tab what happens is it just minimizes as does our phone.

After rooting An Removing Bloatware

How much of a difference in performance does it give the HTC One S after bloatware removal? Has anyone seen or heard of a camera add on that allows you to hold the camera icon for auto focus something like what is available for the Sensation and Amaze 4g?:silly:
[HTC One S] Snapperjacker:
Hi all... I was checking out the help menu on the One S the other day and I came across an option that read "More ways to improve battery life", so I clicked on it and one of the suggestions was to "make sure apps are closed and not continuously running in the background". This got me thinking because I have read so many articles as to why a task killer is not recommended, but to me this suggests that HTC is recommending killing tasks. I'm still a noob at this kind of stuff so I might be misunderstanding something. I've attached a picture of the screen (settings - about - help - show me - more ways to extend battery life - getting the battery to last longer). I just found this kind of interesting.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Well when using the one s all you have to do is touch the soft key at the bottom right it opens up and just slide the screens up and it kills them. There is also a built in feature called task manager in your app drawer you can use XD
[HTC One S] Snapperjacker:
Cool... thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Why would you want that? Just tap on the screen where you want it to focus and it will...
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
I guess cause it doesn't seem to focus as good with the tap the screen then press the shutter button. I feel like the focus should be better. I love my phone I'm just quirky about that. Just a preference I guess.
[HTC Sensation] Sharpinstincts:
Hi guys,

I have T-Mobile htc sensation, unlocked and rooted. Lately I deleted the "music.apk" and "music enhancer.apk" files from my device. I thought that if I have another media player (Zimly) I do not need those anymore.

Now I have a problem listening to music via my bluetooth headset. I can receive calls via my headset but I can't here music. Also I can't control my media player via my headset buttons.

Does anyone know what can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi brothers, i experience the situation that the proximity sensor of my phone stop working after flashing either CM7 or oxygen rom, and I have tried difference kernels, the problem exists. but my proximity sensor work normally if I flash back the stock rom using kdz.

Anyone experience this before and any solution for solving this bug?

Thanks a lot!

the proximity sezor problem is GONE with GingerSnap v1.2 (with Roq IX kernel implemented).....cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hoyinboy:
I have installed gingersnap 1.2 but the bugs exist, would it related to the hardware?

but the sensor work again if I use stock rom...

Thanks!

proximity problem

I apologize for rushing, but sensor problem still there. first hours of operation went smoothly but after a back problem. **** happened
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Il Giulione:
Do you format system and boot when you flash a new rom?

And do you wipe dalvik cache when you flash a new kernel? :o
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciproxr:
i have a optimus t running Cyanogenmod 9, Android ICS 4.0.4, CAF Kernel by arjen and my proximity sensor works flawlessly.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androidmeda:
Haven't had any proximity sensor issues since day one. I only do full wipes when transferring from one rom to another. Sounds like it's a hardware issue. Could be software but the contents and configuration can change from one user to another. There's too many variables.

Just throwing a suggestion here, but how about performance options? Ever since CM7, I have been setting mine to Interactive/768/245. zRam 10%. kernel samepage on.

I know hep and the other devs are trying to figure it out. I'm just curious as to why it's working for some and not for others.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] barbuletiu.marius:
Solution found

Today I installed DynamiteRomJB from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626281. The problem with the proximity sensor does not exist at all
[Optimus One, P500, V General] uf0999:
Never had problems, now i'm on piccolo alpha3.

I think first models have that issue. Mine is quite recent: 10 months.

Maybe a different revision of the proximity sensor hardware?

I just wanted to start a poll on the average monthly data usage of xda members using the galaxy note. If your on a tiered data plan, what's your cap? Include your wifi data usage as well. I use 3g watchdog app and it provides wifi as well as billable data usage (for those wondering how to figure out wifi data usage).

Depends how much time I spend at work as if at home I use my WiFi but roughly 5-10GB of data a month, also depends how many new ROMs come out too. ;)

Have had a lot of time off from work this month so only 2.2GB used.

I am still on grandfathered unlimited, but AT&T throttles you at 3GB. I have hit 3GB once or twice before because I get text messages saying "you are getting close", but they never send another one saying they are actually going to throttle. So, I guess its just automatic. It sucks either way.

Around 400 MB a month. I'm on a prepaid plan with 300 MB included so I have to pay for the additional 100 MB. I don't use multimedia until there is wifi available so it's not that hard for me to stay just under the above mentioned limit.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HornedOni:
Have the note for about three weeks now. Am on a pretty restrictive 100MB/month plan.

Managed to only use 75MB of that so far. 18,5 of those from the one time I dared use google maps navigation, 13,5 from when I downloaded two apps after forgetting to enable wifi.

So it seems like I can actually make do with that. 9GB of wifi traffic in the same timespan, though, half of which have been Kies air file transfers. Using wifi at home, work, and most any other places I can get away with doing so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNote:
No unlimited dataplans here for me. I have a 1.6 GB limit, which is one of the biggest available in Holland. (2gb is max).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cypher_zero:
I tried using the international method and Flashing CWM doesn't work. It'll flash, but your phone won't be able to boot into recovery mode at all. Mine kept trying to go into recovery mode every time I powered it on until I was able to get it to boot into Download mode. Now I'm fairly certain the recovery mode on my phone is borked, so I'll be looking around for a stock recovery restore method or a CWM method intended for this phone.

TL;DR: DO NOT TRY USING THE INTERNATIONAL VERSION ROOT METHOD!!!

This is the exact reason the forums were split. Can't wait till someone flashes an international custom ROM
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cypher_zero:
To be clear, I didn't actually expect it to work and was fully aware that it could jack up my phone, but one does not make an omlete without breaking a few eggs so I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. :P

Also, the phone still works with the exception of Recovery mode not working at all (and no Root obviously).

[Galaxy S III General] NOMIOMI:
The Samsung Galaxy S III without doubt is a hot device, in this case literally! According to owner dillo2k10 from Dublin, his Samsung Galaxy S III exploded while docked in a car mount without charger plugged in. Check the full story and morepictures after the break.

So I driving along today with my Galaxy S3 in my car mount when suddenly a white flame, sparks and a bang came out of the phone. I pulled in to look at my phone, the phone burned from the inside out. Burned through the plastic and melted my case to my phone. The phone kept working but without any signal.

I brought it to the carphone warehouse and they told me that they couldnt replace it for me that they had to send it off to be checked out first. No even replacement phone, left with nothing.

The phone was destroyed and it slightly burned a piece of plastic on the inside of my car. And they are refusing to give me a replacement they had to send it off. Probably nothing I can do, but Im really annoyed. That could have burned the side of my face or through my pocket and my leg, or set fire to my bed. It’s very dangerous.

Shortly after that story hit the web, Samsung updated its Samsung Tomorrow blog with a statement:

There have been recent online posts displaying pictures of a Samsung GALAXY SIII that appears to have heat-related damage at the bottom of the device. Samsung is aware of this issue and will begin investigating as soon as we receive the specific product in question.

Once the investigation is complete, we will be able to provide further details on the situation. We are committed to providing our customers with the safest products possible and are looking at this seriously.

Let’s just hope that this is only an isolated case and will never happen again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350

If the utility doesn't do anything after it says "waiting for device" you might be missing some drivers.

To get the correct drivers installed on my pc I had to install Sony PC Companion first - make sure you opt to install the MTP drivers as well and it should be ok then.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eambo:
Hi camsurf,

From my experience, rooting and bootloader are entirely different. Essentially consider rooting to be 'admin rights' for your phone. You can run things you shouldn't be able to, etc, from within the 'Operating System'.

Bootloading is essentially changing the 'Operating System' entirely.

I've used SuperOneClick to root my device a few times. Very straightforward and easy to use. The only issue I've had is when I stupidly didn't enable USB Debugging in the settings.

Also your bootloader can be unlocked, but it requires payment to do so, and a little work from your end in most cases.
