Yes Rooting is GOD...oh wait..misread something here ;)

Rooting is good if you need access to system functions. I dont know if it will improve your camera sound/picture. Are you recording videos at the highest quality (720p or 1080p use higher bitrate for sound)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
No in your case, since you are clueless what is root.

If you are clueless of what is root, it may do more harm than good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcsebi:
thx for the answer

i try to record a movie in 1080p, hoping sound also becomes better...

thank u

Hey HOX lovers/maniacs,

Just wanna know if anyone had got the hox from the latest batches, viz HT26/SH26.......

Been waiting since I heard about the issues...now I guess most of the S/W issues have been cleared with the updations...So resteless to get my hands on it.

I'm planning to get the HOX fom either Bangalore/Chennai, so kindly let me know if anyone had purchased the new ones from there.

A hardcore HOX lover!!!
[HTC One X] saranyan:
As far as i know the HT25 batches came only two days back to chennai. Know that because i replaced my phone yesterday.

So it'll be sometime before you get the june batch because we are still in june!
[HTC One X] arunjnair:
I had enquired with some of the UniverCell showrooms in Chennai, last week regarding the batch they are having.One of them told me they are having SH25

So, I guess the June batch models are available atlest since last week.

Anyways, I'll be buying it in August....just too curious to know abt its arrival in the city.

Btw, hows your new HOX doing?? still any isssues...?
[HTC One X] saranyan:
SH 25 is may batch. June batches will be 26.

The 25 batches have perfect build quality, No screen issues whatsoever.

Much better build when compared to 24 phones which i had.
[HTC One X] plocri:
mine returned from warranty with MB21
[HTC One X] EclipseX:
Where I can see that?
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:
Have had 5 24 and one 25 and i must say the 25 lasted fewer days than the 24 builds. Wifi and GPS problem was the cause. Now i'm on 24 because the store hadn't any 25 builds. And it is still working fine after 4 days :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] NightM@re:
The patches thing is a joke , i bought the phone since it was out and i have never had any problem with it

Hi I bought my HOX on May 18.

I got HT24 batch, and ofcourse it has Screen ripple/flex problem and Wi-Fi problem (both these are not so prominent, but there is a problem).

I waited till now to get the official notice from HTC about these issues. They are now more or less aware of these problems and started fixing them.

So, am planning to send my device for service this week. Do you have any idea, that the latest batches dont have these issues ??
[HTC One X] saranyan:
I just got a 25 and i definitely dont see any screen ripple/flex problem.

Wifi problem might come in anytime so as of now my wifi is perfect.
[HTC One X] arunjnair:
what do you mean by "it might come anytime".....is it still not resolved in new batches,,,,,!!!!
[HTC One X] saranyan:
The thing it does not affect everyone. Small % of the phones experience the wifi issue.

Some people have reported that the problem shows its head after 3-4 weeks while for some its been there out of the box..

HTC fixed this issue this month (ie) The 26 batches will be the first one's with the manufacturing fix.

Rest assured that the issue is present in a small % of users, People who wanna buy the phone should just buy it because the chances are that you might not even have the fault... If you do also you can get the phone replaced immediately..
[HTC One X] Usexy:
If you hold your hand over the back of the phone (over the whole camera lens section), does your signal drop?
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Nope my wifi behaves normally.
[HTC One X] NightM@re:
this happened to me once , after i ugraded to 1.29 never happened again
[HTC One X] rccola159:
Got a SH26. Screen/wifi/BT perfect thus far. Screen has a yellow tint compared to my HT23. Hope it lasts!
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:
I'm on my 6th device now SH24 but when you wrote this my thought was "duh, of course it does all my others did" but this one just drops one bar. :) But I'm just waiting for it to show its uggly face.

I'm glad but somehow I'm not if you know what I mean. :)

[HTC One X] arunjnair:
Nice to hear that...:-)

please let me know if any issues are there...
[HTC One X] mohaimed:
why will the new batches will also have a yellow tint? why cant HTC fix all the issues even in the latest batches. What are they, idiots? they love to get complaints i think. i am sick and tired of the issues. why we have to wait for issues to get solved (esp hardware) for such a phone that we are buying with so much money from our hard work.only if some other phone (s3) was this good looking i wouldnt have bothered to wait this long. :@:@
[HTC One X] arunjnair:
I heard that HTC have solved most of the hardware issues in thier latest batch, since they have acknowledged themselves regarding the glitches, it must be free of defects.

I'm also fed up waiting for this device so long, but since I have no other option, I've to wait for the "near perfect" HOX.I dont want to run behind these service centres in between my work days and more over the service centre really sucks here.For this reason alone I'm waiting...

This yellow tint stuff mentioned above really makes me worried....

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
Because the App "Linux Installer" does not work very well on defy(missing /proc/config.gz and mkfs.ext*-binaries) I wrote a simple patch which adds these functionalities so LinuxInstaller will work without any problems.

This patches your android-system and NOT the LinuxInstaller-App.

After the patch has been installed every LinuxInstaller will work and you don't net to apply the patch again after updating!

The only important setting which you have to make in LinuxInstaller is to set the ext-version to 3(CM7) or 4(CM9 with ext4-support). ext2 is not supported by our kernel.

Description for Devs:

This does two things:
- replacing mke2fs-binary with another one which supports mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3 and mkfs.ext4
- installing ikconfig as kernel-module. this adds the node "/proc/config.gz" so the App can determine the phones configuration
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
Thank u!

will try...

updated the zip with an addon.d-script this means that this mod will be kept even if you update your system. But since nobody downloaded the old zip in this short time it doesn't matter :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhuuuiii:
Hi,

I'm having the (common?) problem, that the power button doesn't work any more. You can press it as long or often as you want, it doesn't do anything.

So -- big mistake -- I took of the battery and tried to restart. But the power button seems to be broken (hardware), so I now cant even turn on the phone to make it connect to e.g. adb...

Is there any way, to get the phone (without using the power button :/) able to talk to the adb / fastboot interface? (or better, boot it completely)

Need to get some data off it before sending it in for replacement..

thanks :)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cohrs:
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.

This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.

i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

I've been searching the web for days looking for a way to turn on my Galaxy Nexus without using its broken power button, and your timing trick got it working. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rookie_One:
Thank you, i searched for a whole night during my night shift for this and it worked, lets hope i won't turn it off again :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrmorsy:
Rooted?

If you have a rooted phone you can use AOKP ROM or any other roms that has volume wake in its settings. If your kernel supports it you can do what I did and use PGM Nexus from the market, basically what it does is let you lock and unlock your screen by swiping from left to right and right to left for each action (it keeps your touch controls on even when the screen is off and it doesn't use that much battery :D) Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4173854:
Is there some trick here guys? My phone has a busted power button and I need to get some data off it before repairing. I've tried this timing method but it doesn't seem to do anything. A charging icon shows up, I pull the battery and replace it, and then the full icon shows up and eventually disappears.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
if you go to the phones main settings, security, lockscreen, then press none, youll be able to wake the device with the volume buttons. its a built in feature, no app needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 321jurgen:
I love you mate. Now I can use my phone again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ethanmars:
Oh thank God it WORKS! thanks to you man, your post is really helpful. thanks to everyone who have shared this idea!

Let me explain in detail how it works on mine:

1. battery pulled (if possible, the battery shoulldn't be too full to allow the charging animations to appear)

2. connect phone to usb that is connected on pc (without the battery inserted) n wait like 1 or 2 seconds before inserting the battery

3. insert the battery now

4. wait for the battery lightning logo to appear

5. once appeared, wait for the battery lightning logo to disappear (it took me almost 10 seconds.. might vary with yours)

6. once the battery lightning logo disappear, wait for the charging animation to appear (almost instant)

7. when the charging animation appears, kindly pull the battery now.. hehe.. it doesn't matter if you wanna pull it immediately after the charging animations appear or not as long as the animation is still playing..

8. this is the point where it should work or not:

A: sometimes the animation will continue to loop 3 times n nothing happen. Repeat process from step 1.

B: there's a split second static lines on the screen (static as in the iPhone 5 keyboard static) and then the battery animation got stuck. just wait. n then it turns off. n then it vibrates. n then, it boots! =D

P/S: This is NOT MY GNex. My GNex is fine right here with me. The GNex in description here belongs to my friends' aunt. she bought the phone based on my recommendation. the phone is only 4 months old. Mine is 7 months old. luckily the phone is still in warranty so she'd be able to get it fixed soon for free. I'm gonna give the phone back to her so that she could backup every single pictures n videos coz she never did any sort of backup since the phone was bought.. *gasp*

IMPORTANT!

since i have my own GNex, I emptied my battery (i left it only around 10% or so) n put it in her GNex so that the charging animations will appear when i try to revive it using the method above. coz before this, her GNex's battery was full n once the battery lightning logo disappear, only the battery full logo appears afterwards, meaning no animations is shown. n i don't know whether this affects anything at all. just thought i'd mention it. =)

actually I didn't even know the power button is problematic. I thought it was bricked or something. i've even used the omapflash thingy.. lol.. i even considered the odin method n stuff.. luckily i came across this thread..

thanks again everyone.

=)

Thanks a million, man. You totally saved my bacon with this trick. :good:

My Galaxy Nexus is up and running again after about 5 minutes of pulling and inserting the battery I finally got it booted up.

My power button's been broken for a few weeks and I installed an app to turn my screen on using the VOL button but I was out all day today and made the mistake of letting my battery completely die and of course it powered down - OOPS.

Guess I'd better get that power button fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuvalyo:
which app was it ? was looking for one rly long time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjax:
I followed the same basic procedure (thanks!), but wanted to add a couple notes.

1) I wasn't having much luck after step 8 until I actually put the battery back in as suggested by the second post in the thread -- that seems to trigger the boot process more consistently.

2) If the process is not working, try a different USB cable. I tried a number of times with one cable to no avail, then finally got desperate enough to try another cable, and it worked the very first time.

3) Once the phone is actually booted, here are a couple other apps that can help with the lack of functioning power button:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ponury.pgm2free --- For those who are rooted, you can use this (or the paid version with more features) to slide your finger across the turned-off screen to wake the phone. It can be a little finicky in my experience, sometimes pressing the volume button after swiping seems to do the trick:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock -- Lets you turn off the screen via a shortcut; I have a shortcut on my home screen and in my notifications.

Getting into recovery dosen't do anything to your data.

Unless you selected "factory reset" or some other "wipe" option.

Worked for Samsung Note 1 that would not turn on nor respond to 3 key reset

Great! Was about to replace power button on my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 but decided to give this procedure a try. Notice that I had connected the phone via usb to a laptop before with ni results, nothing was displayed on the screen and the phone kept vibrating continuously. This time I tried a battery that may have not been fully charged and tried a 2A charger (for the HP tohchpad). The phone vibrated, showed the battery symbol with a circle in the center, disappeared and went on to vibrate. I removed and immediately replaced the battery and the same thing happened. I tried removing the battery at different times and after the 3rd attempt I got the AT&T logo and the phone continued to power up completely!

Now my pictures stored in internal memory are backing up while I type this message full of gratitude to you and to GOD for allowing me to find this post.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

My phone was disassembled and I was looking for my soldering iron to remove the power button.

So, please try everything on the forums before replacing hardware.

Thanks.

Bumping this thread for a unique situation i'm in. I've got a GNex that my cousin loaned me but it has a broken power button. I was able to boot it with the process above (after a couple attempts each time), however to manage the day-to-day I wanted to root it so I could re-map power to the volume key. It had a custom recovery so I snapped a nandroid (but moved it off the phone as I was going to wipe the internal memory), and tried to flash CM11. It failed, and TWRP 2.5 didn't have the ability to mount the internal memory on the PC that I could see so I could bring back the nandroid and restore. I figured I needed to update from TWRP 2.5 to 2.8.3, so I dropped down to the bootloader from TWRP, but fastboot devices wouldn't recognize the phone (even with the samsung v1.7 drivers). I couldn't do anything within the bootloader without the power button. Deeper down the rabbit hole. I ended up having to pull the battery to get out of the bootloader, and now I can use the trick to start the phone but its got no OS so it won't boot.

tl;dr / actual question: Is there any way to get into Recovery or bootloader without the power button? Trying the above trick while holding vol up or vol down seems to make the trick not work at all? I have a replacement power button on the way, but was hoping to get this running before then.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jelonek4100:
There is another way to get into recovery.

If u need a power button to get into this just replace it with charger.

e.g on my phone you need to press volume down + home + power button .. so i've just clicked volume down + home and then plugged in charger. Voila. :)

Solution for when your power button does not work: take the battery out of the phone. plug it into your USB (without battery) you will hear computer beeping. Put the battery back into your phone.

Hope this works for you as well as it did for me as this had my device up and running right away. Have not had this issue since. Crossing fingers.
