[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
This is not how I expected the LWP to be but this is how it is MADE TO WORK intentionally.

I didn't say the phone lags or works slow so they forced it to freeze while performing a task but it's because HTC wanted to provide the smoothness and speed. They cut down sense 4.0 a lot and made this change as well following Apple.

A Quad Core can definitely handle stuff but they provided the users the best mobile experience by disabling the processes when you're doing something. THIS IS INTENTIONALLY PROGRAMMED BY HTC.

I either don't like it because "LIVE" wallpaper isn't of this kind but this is how it is in sense 4.0

[HTC One X] ayan15:
i would disagree about being "intended by HTC" while my other single core, dual core HTC can manage LWP without a lag.. how about HTC one S?? no LWP bug there.. how could you explain that it was intended by HTC to do this to their flagship phone.. i absolutely disagree..

maybe driver bug from Nvidia.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Serious dude think before you post ... Do you really think HTC intended to work that way ...
[HTC One X] VaderSKN:
My old Desire Z handled live wallpapers with Sense 3.0 from Sensation, and this ROM is full of animations. And the lwp freezing, It's very annoying and I will report it to HTC.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
How do you know, and what proof you have?

What is the reason for them to freeze the LWP process especially on a multi-core CPU? It doesn't make any sense at all.
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
So this is what happens when you try to get involved in a community like this. How disappointing.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
My Desire handled LWPs really well. My bro's Sensation too. But sense 3.0 and 3.5 were so much bloated and heavier. HTC cut it down and made their quad core work better. (I'm not saying it's good because I personally hate it but this is how it's working.)

How do you think HTC never acknowledged or solved this when they've already pushed out 3 OTAs. There was noise about LWPs and Multi tasking and HTC came up with an answer of multitasking that it WORKS that way on HTC One X.

It looks bad but doesn't mean it's a bug. A little bit of study on how iphone works would make you understand. Comparing it to the HOX's working will explain everything.

I hope HTC solves this "bug" which isn't really a bug.

PS. Using a 3rd party launcher make LWPs work fine. Means this isn't an NVIDIA related issue. But Sense 4.0 operates in this fashion.

[HTC One X] subhani:
Firstly, there is a thread like this on the forum already. I can't recall where exactly but it links to an ATnT One X working fine with sense and LWP. So this is an issue of compatibility between sense and nvidia maybe?

Guys should take it easy on OP... really.

Also, OP... you should accept it when you can be wrong and make it easier on yourself. :)
[HTC One X] kryptoner:
opened the thread thinking the problem is solved... disappointed

I don't feel any disgrace when I'm wrong. I just learn :) but here's something I've studied a bit of and it looked to me the real cause. May be I'm wrong but I do think otherwise.

When i spoke to HTC they said they recognize the problem with LWP and will try to fix with future updates,

Why would they say this ?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Like it or not, it is deliberate, I said that weeks ago. HTC might choose to change it, they might not. Personaly I don't care, LWP is a battery drain that I see for a few seconds a day and I have never used it for that reason.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
OP has got somewhat harsh comments mainly because how he has decided to word his opinion. starting the post with a statement like

and then putting out his opinions and speculations as facts without any proof :

And

in all caps, are bound to make few users (including myself) annoyed. Especially when OP is not a recognized developer nor someone who has shown to have any experience working with (as in programming or modding) Sense or any launchers for that matter.

Freezing of LWP while scrolling could be how HTC intended it, or it could very well be an unexpected side effect of a performance tweak. I'm more inclined to believe the latter, but in any case if OP started the thread as a discussion presenting his opinion and supporting arguments as his own instead of stating everything as facts I'm sure he would have gotten a much different reaction....
[HTC One X] dmestriner:
use Apex launcher, aaaand it's gone.

(meaning that live wallpapers DO work correctly on Apex launcher and probably others too).
[HTC One X] matt07930:
Apparantly the AT&T US version of the One X doesn't pause when using LWP, that kind of confirms its a bug to me.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
yep, i can confirm it doesnt stop.

Sent from the Best phone in the world. SOON TO BE BETTER
[HTC One X] TommUK:
Wrong.

It's pausing because the scrolling across the launcher is using the same resources that Android uses for the Live wallpaper, so I'm unsure if they will Change this.
[HTC One X] asestar:
I agree with you on this part. It is not an unintentional mistake by HTC, else they'd have fixed it by now. But rather a (very poor) design decision. Just like having that recent app button where menu button should be.

But HTC gave us the option in latest upcoming rom.. lets hope this gets changed aswell.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Agreed. This is most likely done so Tegra3 companion core remains active the whole time and not kick main cores into gear. I doubt if companion core alone can handle 60fps transition animations along with LWP at once.

Still.. should be an option in Battery/Dev settings about LWP behaviour.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexlos:
Maybe it was a bad ROM zip I flashed, maybe I poked around the build.prop with Root Explorer too much, either way, I managed to bork my EVO LTE.

As it stands, I cannot boot into any new ROMs. I've tried TWRP as well as ClockWork Recovery. Every time I flash a ROM, it either hangs up on the white HTC screen with the red disclaimer forever, or it hangs, then reboots back into recovery.

The only functional ROM I have is a nandroid backup I made in TWRP, and I can only boot into it when I restore it from backup. If I try to flash the exact same ROM, same hang ups. Once I'm in that ROM I can factory restore, wipe everything except system, and boot into it fine. It's only when I try to flash anything new that my EVO stops booting.

I've tried flashing stock recovery, relocking the bootloader, and running the RUU, but it stops on "Updating Signature" and gives me "Error 132 Signature Error" and does not complete the RUU.

I've tried relocking bootloader and re-running the rooting tool.

I've unlocked, relocked, unrooted, rerooted, tried different recoveries. I have no idea why I can't just wipe everything, flash a ROM, and boot into it.

Any help would be immensely apprecited!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Have you tried running the ruu while in bootloader mode?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexlos:
Can you do that? I thought you had to be in fastboot to run the RUU.exe. Even if you're inside a ROM and you run the RUU, doesn't it reboot your phone to fastboot to complete the RUU process?

Anyway, every time I try to run the RUU it gives me the Error 132 Signature Error.

I had an OG EVO, and when **** hit the fan you could put a PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD and that WOULD run through bootloader. Is there something similar for the EVO LTE? If I could RUU from bootloader or even recovery or ADB that would be awesome.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:

More interested to see if this helps with the hardware rendering issues in place on the phone so we can go back to using it (on software rendering right now for smoothness)

Playing on ICS impossible? You mean Xperia arc/S? For me, gaming experience icreases on ICS because of smoothness of playing... Without overclocking you won't play in anything - that's truth. :D Flashing Arc-Knight Kernel and overclocking to 1,6 GHz is enough! It brings better efficiency than DoomKernel.

Ad blocking on Android usually involves changing the hosts file or installing a firewall- both of which require root.

Only thing I can think of is to use Firefox for Android with the Adblock extension - this will obviously only work for websites and not apps.
[HTC One X] Aleemz:
This is my first unrooted phone on Android, and didn't realise how intrusive these ads would be - this is putting me off Android (or shoud it read Ad-droid) big style!
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
well to be fair, buy the paid version then. there is almost always an ad free paid version - at least we have a choice between ads or a paid version, ios you almost always only have the paid version with no free version available.

imo this way is miles better.

the other advantage - if people buy apps, the developers will be much more inclined to continue working on that app to improve it, and also make more apps. also word of mouth will spread and other developers will also join instead of going ios only.. plus the fact that they often do put a hell of a lot of work into these apps, and they deserve some recognition (money) for that!
[HTC One X] Aleemz:
All the apps that I keep are the paid versions, if they are available, but some apps are only ad driven without a paid option.

The main issue for me is not with apps, but web browsing.

Some browsers have their own adblockers. Blocking ads in internet shouldn't be a problem even if you haven't rooted.

So questions go there. Period.

If you did not create something, you have absolutely no place posting a thread in Development.

It is quite ironic that you do not comprehend that simple rule, yet you are quick to judge your fellow members calling them "noobs".

On your question, FXP is the maintainer of CM for the Xperia phones and you can get latest CM builds updated every week from their threads in Development.

Isnt S-beam Wi-Fi Direct + android beam something like that mix together but S-beam flaw is that they have ot be right next to each other
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
Not right next to each other but basically if you have s beam and you open a photo in your gallery , for example, if you tap the phones together it automatically transfers the file. But once they've tapped it has the range as android beam for the duration of the transfer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sickred:
i kinda want S-beam since it has the ability to transfer pictures and files too, instead of just web pages and app links.

for some reason i thought that stock android beam had the ability to transfer pics but when i tried it to do it with my girlfriends gs2, it kept sending me to the market to download the launcher i had on one of the phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dexster:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KeithOYS:
I'm rather sceptical about S Beam on our device;

S Beam uses Near Field Communication (NFC) which is an internal hardware absent from the GS2.

It also combines with the use of Wi-Fi Direct but that's only for use to transfer larger files without needing to continue placing S3s back-to-back when the connection has been established.

Please advice me if I made a mistake somewhere; I'd love to know more. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n0tr1x:
tags is a stock app for nfc tagging... there are plenty of other apps on the market for better n simpler interfaces for file transfer management...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
I am aware that there are other ways to transfer files. Android beam relies solely on NFC where s beam uses NFC for the phones to identify each other and initiate the interaction but actually carries out the transfer via wifi. NFC is very slow and was not intended to move large files and the devices must remain in close contact for the entire transfer. S beam is the fastest and easiest way to move large files from one device to another without pairing or otherwise linking two devices or resting them on top of each other.

Is there any possibility to do this? Just to make sure nobody misses that point: No root requiring apps! Or ADB over Wifi without requiring root would work too but for what I know that's impossible.

Thanks,
