[Galaxy S III Accessories] Feartheterp:
Where is the Zagg Kiosk you go to located? Most Zagg kiosks in the malls charge $5 fee for warranty replacements. The fee is the same whether they install it for you or not since the Kiosks tell you they have to mail it back to the main Zagg office or whatever. Sounds like a bad deal to me. I was thinking about getting the Zagg HD but it seems like Zaggs lifetime warranty nickel and dimes you everytime you want a replacement. Either you pay $5 at the Kiosk or pay probably like $2-$4 shipping from Utah or wherever they ship from. I have a Kiosk nearby me but unless I see on Zagg's website that explicitly states that Kiosk's won't charge for a replacement.

If you want a clear shield you're probably better off getting a SGP nano clear or optics. It's like $14 for 3 of em. For Zagg HD you get 1 for $20, pay $5 or lets say $2 for each replacement. So for $14 you get 3 SGP, for Zagg its $26 for 3. Almost double the price. The Zagg Hd and SGP nano look like they are probably the same material anyway. You pay for the clarity in for both of them in durability; there have been people complaining on the forums that the Zagg HD and the SGP nano both scratch quite easily. SGP is just a better value.

My GF has the Nano and I never even notice it is there. It looks like the Optics will reduce screen quality a bit relative to the nano. Unless glare really bothers you I would go with the Nano.

I personally took a gamble and went for the Dynaflo Liquid Armor since I find buying protectors for multiple phones in my family annoying. It is extremely clear, actually so clear that I'm not sure its actually on there. So far so good tho.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kreeker:
When you say glare, are you referring to glare from direct sunlight? Or will the thing be glaring indoors too?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnadke:
I got the Skinomi $3 deal. I hate it.

It installs like crap. And it creates a rainbow effect on the screen. And with edge TPU cases like the diztronic it peels up.

Also it already has a permanent scratch down the middle of the screen that has not gone away.

I'm waiting to get the SGP edge one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] expose11:
Keep it out of your pocket for 3-4 days. Probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. No offence to you, but that Zagg rep is a moron. Show of hands, anybody EVER do this? And if so, why? I can't believe he didn't tell you about how you should not use your phone for 12-24 hours either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ponyboy82:
I'm having good luck with an el-cheapo screen protector (dry install) that i got as a pack-in with my $7.50 ebay case. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
I just ordered the sgp curved crystal. Not sure when I'll get it though since it says "pre-order" :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gingson:
My vote is for the Nano. It is clear and hardly noticeable. It is cut smaller than the screen but hard to notice because it is really clear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lathamc:
In regards to the Zagg warranty, what has always happened to me is if the mall kiosk has a screen protector in stock, then they replace it for free. If not, you only have to pay shipping and handling. They have also always applied mine for free.

The warranty you are describing sounds more like Ghost Armor. I had them before, and they do try and nickel and dime you every chance they get.

Hello android geniuses,

I have a weird problem with my infuse.

Earlier today I installed a new launcher app..... i was at 50 or 60 % battery.

Suddenly the launcher froze..... and when it woke back up 2 minutes later....my battery was down to 5% ...WTF

Afterwards...every time i plugged the USB in to charge it, it froze and rebooted.... but it DOES charge.

When I turn it on it boots perfectly fine....but it has to be unplugged.

If it is plugged in and I turn it on to boot....it reboots and goes back to the charging screen....

So weird.....

PS> The launcher (ligning launcher) has been uninstalled and my old launcher activated and running perfectly.

Thanks for any help

Any idea?

Edit .... I have used a battery calibration program to erase batrrystats.bin
[Samsung Infuse 4G] enelyam:
Well, this issue has been address a couple times the last few weeks. Its a very weird situation that seems to be happening lately. So far i havent find a way to fix it, and to me this is a hardware issue. Something similar to what happens sometimes to certain iphones also. The solder contacts from certain ics(integraded circuits) will breakdown. And the phone will not work as it should because of that. If i find something, ill let you know...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevicesNow:
Flash the device back to stock & perform a factory data reset.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
OKAY so I decided to update this thread:

There are two versions of the One X. One with aws bands and one without. I have a device without AWS (I am about 80 % sure). There are reports of people getting 4g on AWS with the Rogers Version as of now, and more testers need to check it out as it could still be possible on ATT.

This flash here theoretically could enable the One X radio to lach onto AWS (The radios here are for the One S Ville.)

http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42

I have flashed all three, and although I did not get 4g, I got faster ping and a near immediate connection onto T-mobile. To all the people saying this will "brick" the phone, it does not and you have nothing to worry. But as always make sure to do a backup. The radio hacks for the Skyrocket/Note were also based on flashing the Galaxy S2 radio directly on top. This should work the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
I'm interested in this as well. What does is involved and the risk? I don't have warranty on my phone, so I'm a little bit leery in being first.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
if your rooted ull should be fine just make a back up of ur current set up. this is just a clockwork flash, it may not even flash, but if it does then there's a high chance of 4g.

i've done radio hacks before for the droid 3/skyrocket/note all from a similar concept. ex. flashing the t-mobile galaxy s2 radio on the note, to enable 4g.

if anyone could provide me with a better solution for an unlock i am sure i can get this to work. seems that the htc unlocker server is down right now :(

it's the same thing as flashing different radios via clockwork posted in the One X android dev forum
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
I'll give it a try, hopefully it won't mess anything up. So I just flash the radio in recovery. If no good, I just flash the correct radio again?

There is a one click no HTC Dev bootloader unlock in the Dev forum.

I flashed:

0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L

From your link. It flashed correctly. The phone on data and voice still works. I confirmed the version in Settings is not my original:

0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L

I'm still on Edge, but I'm in a crappy cell area, so still not certain if radio or my area. I might give the:

0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L

Radio a try too.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
good to hear no negative results got my phone unlocked so i will be testing tonight. also do u guys have the newer sims or older ones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
I have an older sim I believe. It is one that came from an activation kit I bought off ebay. I tried the T-Mobile radio and same results, still on Edge, but still could be my location.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
What in gods name are you guys doing! ? Are you trying to brick your phones? It's already been confirmed that the hardware on this phone does not support the proper bands for T-Mobile 3g!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Prove it. Why would the phone soc be any different than the one s one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
It's not just the SOC that determines hardware compatibility. There are various radio amplifiers and filters which are tuned to the specific frequencies that the phone is likely to encounter. If a phone is going to be sold in multiple markets, sometimes the hardware filters are set up for all frequencies and some are disabled via software, but often times this is not the case.

It's not impossible that a radio reflash can make it work, though highly improbable.

sassafras
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Interested in this. There might be better luck flashing the tmo radio since I don't think any European operators use AWS bands, correct me if I'm wrong.

Can anyone explain why flashing this radio from a different device won't brick our phones?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] invensmaster:
I have a tmobile one s, but i also have the one from att and i am so interested on using this phone over tmobile 4g let me know if i can of help. I am using my micro sim that came with the one s and i am getting edge (asume its the latest from tmobbile 4g mucro sim. I am on 1.85 rooted but i did not unlock. though i am sure we can flash through CWM. any ways i am sure there is a way out to get 3g or 4g on the one x on tmobile did not find the way yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
flashed both of the t-mobile modems no luck for me either, although my ping is significantly higher and connects to t-mobile a LOT quicker.

does anyone know how to edit the LTE settings. it is odd but for most ATT LTE phones they have the 1700mhz frequency i think it would be a matter of just defaulting that....

the radios also show up in my baseband so i have successful flashes :)

EDIT: one more thing, before i was not able to use data at all considering i had the newer t-mobile sims but now data works but on edge speed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
it's just a file in your system. it could potentially brick your phone but you can always get into recovery and restore. which is why i stated you should create a back up of your device before trying it out.

however, i was fairly certain it wouldn't do that because the internals of the One S/One X are nearly identical, they both share the same processor and most likely similar (if not same, radios).

either way, the the radios work, getting me higher ping, and working data without having to switch out my sim for an older one, hope there is a way to activate the 1700 band !

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_x_at&t-4614.php

EDIT 2: apparently there are two models of the ATT One X/XL one with the 1700 band and one without
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sassafras_:
Likely the software has been changed to support T-Mobile, but the hardware (filters, amplifiers, etc) are non-existent, so you'll never get actual 1700 MHz AWS support.

Of course, this is just a 50,000 foot view perspective without actually trying it myself.

sassafras
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
you might be right about this one :) but there are certain One X/XL's that do have the 1700 band found out through some searching and trying to figure out the reason behind it.

If that's correct.... the people with the 1700 band would have 4g when they flash this radio! also use *#*#4636#*#* to change network type to lte/gsm

--- for other phones though like the Skyrocket/Note they were directly compatible with T-mobile radios.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Okay, I flashed the Tmo One S radio and did not receive a brick. What I did receive is a not-so-good connection that will switch between HSPA+ and 3G quite often.

I don't have a WIND sim to test with, but I tried running AT commands on my phone and they don't seem to be working. I tried doing a network scan with AT+COPS=? waited forever and had nothing displayed.

Strange...

--edit--

Rebooted and ran the commands again. Still don't see any AWS carriers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
Don't you need a wind sim to connect im pretty sure the Canadian version will work on aws
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
Confirmed on my end that even with the T-Mobile radio, I'm not getting HSPA+. Even when I drove by the Moscone center where 1900Mhz was refarmed during Apple's WWDC (maybe it was just that day?). I was hoping this would be like the Note and Rocket where I can flash different radios.

Any other new phone capable of this? The S III? If not, I may have to either wait for 1900MHz refarm or switch to Straight Talk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
Picking up an att s3 today to test it out. Most likely there's two versions of one x one with aws and one without. I know mine doesn't though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
I'm not exactly sure of this one.

If someone is willing to let me cut up their WIND sim (or lend me their WIND microsim), I'll re-flash the tmo radio and meet you somewhere to test it (Toronto, please).

~dan

-----edit-----

Just popped in an old WIND sim that I used to test AWS connectivity at first. Saw WIND Away with the standard radio, and after flashing the Tmo radio I see WIND Away and AT&T (AT+COPS=? shows Rogers, ATT, Telus, Bell).

I live by the lake, that would explain why ATT shows up.

God, this thread is just begging for someone to flash it, and brick their phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
I hate to say it at the risk of being wrong, but I doubt flashing a radio on this phone would brick it. Either it wouldn't flash or you'd screw something up, but would at least be able to get back to bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Back in the day you could brick a CDMA phone by flashing a gsm radio. It would actually break the phone. This was on the HTC hero.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I wonder if the One S T-Mobile can be flashed with a compatible att radio... Yes, I realise this is the wrong forum for that... Just thinking out loud.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
if the one x can flash the one s radio it would work the other way... but there's no point the one s already works on att out of the box

tmobile 1900 mhz

I read someplace that T-Mobile will be using 1900 MHz to support unlocked I phones and that there is already some areas Bering tested. So my question is there any one here using one x on T-Mobile in those areas? ind if so what speed is he getting? I would love to see an answer for that thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
I would love to answer this for you. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing this around San Francisco. I read that 1900MHz was turned on for Apple's WWDC event, but every day I go by the Moscone Center, I still am on Edge.

So either my phone just does not work on T-Mobiles 1900Mhz for some bizarre reason or it was only for the WWDC event.

It did give me HSPA+ when I was on Telstra in Australia and on 2 Degrees in New Zealand last week, but I didn't do any speed test since one was roaming data and the other I had limited data for the prepaid I purchased.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Let me iterate on my previous post.

I'm using the latest Telus radio and only get these carrier (yeah, even T-mo) when no SIM card is inserted.

Can anyone help me explain this?

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
what's the problem here?

your phone detects cell cignals despite having a sim card. it's a cell phone lol. the sim card has information that allows the phone to connect to a particular network.

that's why you can still make emergency calls without a sim.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
My Rogers HTC One X is getting signal from WIND (AWS) and T-Mobile.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Rogers HOX user here.

Flashed TMOUS radio and got what danada reported earlier where WIND showed up in the scan (used chatr sim) that was not found previously.

Popped in my old WIND sim afterwards, but only WIND AWAY turned up, even after setting to WCDMA only. Immediately before trimming the sim, I tested it on my ancient nexus one, I was able to see WIND HOME as well.

Puzzled, can anyone tell me if this radio will make Rogers HOX compatible with WIND services?

And btw Danada, where did you find the Telus radio?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
The Telus radio is for the HOX. You can find it in the dev section of this forum. Give it a shot and see if you can see WIND with it.

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ver2go:
Did you get a chance to test the S3? I'm really considering getting rid of the One X since it doesn't look like it will work with T-Mobile. I was really hoping for something like the Note or Skyrocket that will just flash any radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Well now, after flashing telus radio, with the Chatr sim WIND didn't turn up. (ran 2 scans)

BUT rescanning after popping in my old WIND sim did find WIND and WIND AWAY. Scan results are inconsistent however because WIND doesn't show up in every scan, though it is present in majority of them... It takes turns with Telus, Rogers, bell and WIND AWAY to vanish in the scan results, so either the radio is not optimized for WIND's AWS or each scan only lists the first 3 or 4 providers the phone finds.

My bill cycle for July has already begun so I won't be available to try to actually switch over to WIND to test the radio. Hope someone else can.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
So to confirm, if you have the newer micro SIM card (version 50.05 in pink letters) on T-Mobile, flash the One s radio, Edge data works? Would love to flash if this is confirmed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Thanks for confirming this. It is weird that the scans are so inconsistent. I took a stroll around the city one evening to see if I could find an area that would continuously show WIND in the network search, but was unable to do so.

Today I did another network scan with my ROGERS sim in, and was able to see WIND in about half my scans (I live in an area with not-so-good reception). It seems to me that the ROGERS and ATT radios have something to do with blocking specific carriers from showing up in the list.

WIND does have microsims now, so maybe if you pop in the store, someone who uses a lumia will let you try their sim in your phone. Make sure you bring your sim ejector!

At least there is progress (:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Does not work with Telus radio. Tried it today with a working wind microsim. WIND shows up but I can't register my phone to the network.

I'm going to try again with the HTC one s tmo radio.

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] smacknca:
Just to toss this out there as someone who would love nothing more than a one x on t-mobile.

Early on when the phone first came out, there were discussions talking about how if your phone was capable of seeing one of the two frequencies (1700 or 2100) then an AWS carrier such as WIND or T-Mobile would display in network scans but you wouldn't be able to connect. I've never been able to find an app/tool to check and see just what frequencies are currently in use, but something like that would be very helpful to verify.

Also I tried emailing canadagsm guys from a few pages back, and no response about verified functionality on WIND and I made it clear I was ready with cash in hand if they could show it working.

Such a shame HTC won't just sell an unlocked version of the phone, everything points to the hardware (at least in Canada) supporting AWS, but so far it seems locked out in these localized versions.

indeed they did however i am getting even better speeds with the one s radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:
Would you care to elaborate the differences in speeds?

Sent from my One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tachi91:
So you can flash a TMO one s radio onto a One XL? Only thing that happens is slight increase in speed?

So that means the XL and the S share the same modem which would mean that both share the same frequencies just one is tune to 1900 while the other is 1700. So wound that mean using a similar process like the one used on the Rezound/Bionic to enable AT&T 3G (1900) can be used on the XL to pickup 1700?

If not then forgive my 3am talk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
Yes theoretically there are some codes which tell you if your one x has the 1700 band. Most do not I believe the Canadian variat does though so it would work on aws.

The differences are mainly related to ping. I was also unable to connect to data before the radio flash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tiguy99:
We just got 1900mhz 4G for T-Mobile in Chicago. Although the speed is not aws hspa+, are you saying I can flash that modem and enable 42mb/sec T-Mobile internet speed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tachi91:
The radio might improve the overall strength and speed, but i wouldn't be surprised if it only raises it up a little.

Went down to philly at one point I saw speeds hitting 500kB/s... Once I was actually downtown they dropped to about ~200Kb/s

It's not just the radio/phone that dictates the speed of the network... There are Tower side things that could increase/decrease them.

Too many people, Line of Sight, or the tower just not optimized to 100%
