For recovery, boot into fastboot and use command fastboot erase cache - you should be able to boot into recovery again after that.

For gapps, which gapps did you flash? The one linked to in Trip's first post?
[HTC One X] shinigamikris:
Thanks for the reply!

I have tried fastboot erase cache like a bazillion times and I don't really remember which gapps I used, pretty sure it would have been the one provided with the rom but then again I have used so many different versions of gapps trying to get it to work, its not funny... Any other ideas?
[HTC One X] shinigamikris:
Not to worry. Got it all working now. Found a version of clockwork mod on my desktop and tried flashing that, it worked and now have gapps working too :) Only one thing, camera freezes up every now and then, well probably more often than not, is there a fix for this? Other than that, very happy with this rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForumTroll:
I'm actually pretty happy with my current phone, but I'm thinking about getting a new one anyways, if I can find one that suit my needs. Could someone give me some input on which phones to look at from the wish list below?

Hardware keyboard is a plus, but not an absolute must

Approximately the same size as the HTC Desire Z ((119 x 60.4 x 14.16 mm) a little bigger might be okay, but not any smaller. Small bezel is a plus as it need to fit in both big and small hands)

Fast! Good CPU and GPU is a must

Stable daily driver Android 4.x available. Big developer community is a huge plus.

Must be easy to root and flash (I still have nightmares from when I tried flashing my girlfriends Samsung Galaxy S and had to manually repartition the internal phone memory and I still hate Sony for the ****ty X10i mini pro)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForumTroll:

Or S3 if you don't mind the cheapness build feel.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForumTroll:
After reading the comparison on the link below, I think the HTC One S might be more of my kind of phone. What do you think about the two?

[G2 and Desire Z General] bambule1978:
Hi all,

first of all sorry for posting here and not in the EliteMod Thread. But i have to post 10 times and then ........

After flashing the new kernel i´m missing a lot of apps?!?!?!

No matter how i flash (wipe data/dalvik or wipe nothing) the apps are missing. I use dataswap (64mb) if necessary.

The apps i miss are Titianium Backup, Terminal, Gentle Alarm and so on.

I dont know why this is happens. Until now every new kernel or Elitemod Rom was fine.

I normally flash via 4ext recovery, but same via RomManager.

Any tipps or help??

BTW: I really love the work from Nikr. His EliteMod Rom and tweaks are really the best i´ve seen so long.

thx for help and keep flashing :fingers-crossed:
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
If you did a full wipe and installed a fresh new Rom then course you're going to be missing apps until you re-install them. Or at the very least install the titanium backup app then running a restore for the apps.

Though with a kernel-only flash (i.e.: that new one the other day) you shouldn't be wiping data/etc to flash it.

Maybe a little more details on your problem?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bambule1978:
Hi,

thx for the quick respond.

I downloaded kernel zip and put it on the sdcard. After that boot into recovery and choose install zip from sdcard.

Thats was the normal way for kernels. But if i do this now i miss a lot of apps.

I tried to wipe only dalvik and flash, same result. I tried to wipe dalvik/data and flash, same result.

Only changes till the last rom flash i did, was to pull down the LCD destiny from 240 to 210 via Rom Toolbox.

It wouldn´t be such a big deal, but the apps i miss i also couldn´t find in the market. If i search for Titanium Backup nothing appears. Same for Gentle Alarm and so on.

I flash Roms for over 1 year now, but something like that never happend :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
the change in dpi will affect some apps as "not avalaible" as the are only able to work with certain densities. maybe change this and see what happens
[G2 and Desire Z General] bambule1978:
Today was a new Kernel Version released and everything is fine now.

Looks like there was a kernel problem with apps on stored on the sd card.

thx for help anyway
[HTC One X] M2oSa:
Hi there,

I'm on vaca for one month in Africa and I am trying to use my sim card but I have this message :" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "

I tried two different sim cards but I still have the same issue.

Note that the phone was working perfectly yesterday with my Tmobile Sim Card.

It's an international One X so I don't think that I need to unlock it.

Do you guys have any solutions?

Thank you ;)
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
it sounds like something tmobile end has changed on your account, if possible i'd call them to see if they can help get it working again

other thing to check is the roaming settings, check its enabled etc
[HTC One X] M2oSa:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not using that Tmobile sim card anymore. But an Orange one.

Should I factory reset it and see if it'll work?

Thanks
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
i had this happen on mine, ive got tmobile sim, it went to tmobile orange signal, i tried to manually switch it back to tmobile (better signal coverage) and it said the same thing.

A reboot didnt fix it so i went into settings, storage, make more storage and then cleared all temporary data for all apps.

this seems to temp fix the issue and allows me to reconnect to my peferred network it still happens every now and then so it could be a software gitch with the hox
[HTC One X] M2oSa:
Just tried it. Didn't work :(

I will restore it and see how it goes
[HTC One X] M2oSa:
Even with the New Rom, Superwipe I still have the same issue :o :( ?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Beakerzor:
I've had my S3 for a week now, and it is amazing and awesome, exceeding all my expectations. I keep all my settings maxed, because when I show it off to people, I want them to see the amazing colors at full brightness.

But the battery doesn't last more than a day, just like any phone.

So if you are a power user like me, plan on spending another $25 and order a battery now, you will need it.

I predict a temporary shortage, like there is with NFC tags now.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stumanroo:
Does it last a whole day when power using though???

That is all I want is a phone that can make it 16-20 hours with whatever usage I throw at it!

If I heavy use my DroidX I will not make it until the end of day...even if I just end up on the phone for over an hour that day...and I am FAR from a power user!

I have no issues charging it every night...but I do have issues having to charge a phone twice a day.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nitra:
Nope, this phone has battery issues, big time.

Came from the SGS2X same as tmo's SGS2 Hercules, this SGS3 has serious issues, my carrier gave me a new battery yesterday to try and resolve the issue.

Case in point, yesterday before I swapped the battery, was charged to 100%, got an incoming call, was on the phone for 15 seconds, put the phone down, no apps in use, memory clear. 30 minutes later, I left home, phone in pocket, after 10 minutes, unlocked phone, was at 93%, I went to the store to get a new battery, something isn't right.

Did a full wipe on the phone after I got the new battery, going to test the next 3 days, my carrier said if it's not resolved in 3 days they'll give me a new phone.

As a side note, my roommate has the SGS3, we picked them up from the same carrier on the same day, his does not have this issue at all, both phones configured the same.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Not for anything but I've yet to see any modern smartphone last for 20 hours of heavy usage without needing to be charged. Even my iphone 3GS which had very good battery life wouldn't last that long.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thetony:
Yeah that's not right. I've been listening to music and using xda for forty minutes and I'm at 99%

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Beakerzor:
No, its not going to last 16 to 20 hours using it like a power user. Absolutely not. If you are taking pictures, surfing the web, playing games, connecting on and off wifi as you travel around the city, you'll need more battery, somehow.

I took it to Seattle's Pride parade last week, and took hundreds of pictures and a few videos. I even uploaded one video over mobile network (which took like 15 minutes) When I got home about 6 hours later the battery was at 15%, which is amazing, considering.

My wife is thinking about getting one, and I'm sure it would last 20 hours in her hands, and of course she would tease me about it, too.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stumanroo:
Well I use the term "Anything I throw at it" loosely...as I a not a "Power" user I am not likely to be gaming ALL day or Streaming ALL day...but I functionally use my phone through out the day...and if I have to be on the phone 2 -3 hours that day...I need the phone to make it until bed time at least for me.

With my DroidX I make it through almost every 16-20 hour day...unless my daughter steals it and plays Temple Run or I spend a load of time browsing the web while bored and not at home.

Nitro...It does sound like that phone has a serious issue though!

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Yeah in a sense like that I can understand! I wouldn't expect it to make it through all that...especially the 15 minute upload if it wasn't done via Wifi!

I guess my point is when I read reviews on phones anywhere on the net I have major issues with people marking something down due to battery issues...even if it has better battery life than any other phone! Not saying this one does...cause I don't even have it in my hands yet...but just in general.

I can't have this phone be worse than the DroidX is all I care about...and if I go by ratings alone...there aren't many better standby phones out there...which should mean I should be fine.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Beakerzor:
the only problem with this phone and battery use, is that its so awesome, you'll be using it so much

I am fully expecting the first few weeks (the honeymoon period) to have battery issues...it is after that on a basic work day is what I am worried about.

I have used a smartphone for the last 4 years...so I understand normal battery usage and when I know I will need more juice. Some days like that parade that was listed are days I prepare to have extra juice around...just the normal days is my concern.

But yeah I am going to use and abuse this ***** for a good month straight I am sure! :P

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The_Biz:
My battery does pretty good too. I still got the external charger/battery combo though. I don't feel right without one. I had 3 batteries for the gs2 and feel like I need the same for this. If something pops up, I have 2 fully charged batteries most of the time and just grab them and go.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dcmtnbkr:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tuffluck:
Not a bad idea... Put a spare battery in the glove box or something. May come in handy.

But yeah i want a phons to last 16-20 hours. Screen time for me maxes out at about 2.5 hours for me in a day. So far the phone has done pretty well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Which charger/battery combo did you get?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The_Biz:
I got the oem one from AT&T. I'll get a separate spare battery from one of the US carriers when they sell them separately.

That's why I only buy from places like a carrier.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Ok. I've been looking at the Chinese ones from ebay and the prices are tempting but the possibility of them being low quality counterfeits makes me a little nervous.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] y2whisper:
agreed that is a good amount of time. for me it seems better than my s2. i guess mainly because its about the same only LTE got turned on at my work last week as well (woot) looking to see what burns it at the rate it does, everything points to the screen as when its off the battery does a great job.

bought a spare with charger at best buy
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sunsparc:
What a lot of people don't understand is there are a lot more factors in good/bad battery life than you would think. Even having 1 bar less signal than usual can negatively impact battery. Having no signal at all can cause it to tank pretty quickly, even if you're not using anything cellular related.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dasistsparta:
Are you coming from the caves? Ever had a smartphone before?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jake101:
The best I have managed so far on the phone was 2:45 of screen time, 3:15 in calls, and I got 2d 5h on a single charge. I just used the phone like normal, I even had a 20 minute video call during the day.

I am a nut when it comes to battery life so I use apps like Watchdog and SetCPU set with profiles to increase battery life and only go all out when it really needs it. I have also frozen about 45+ processes and never turn on WiFi since I have unlimited everything through my plan.

Running it at 100% max doesn't do any good, especially brightness at least. Also the phone lasts all day for me, so I don't know what your settings are, and whether you're rooted or not. This phone can easily last you through the day.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ssbmg:
Yup. Just ordered a spare OEM battery with the cradle charger thing on amazon for less than $50. Came from the HOX and had to exchange for GS3 for replaceable battery alone. Before that was on the VZW GN and used the extended battery with a 2nd extended battery. I am a serious power user though. Lots of sitting in airports and waiting for meetings doing nothing but playing with my phone. Love the look on the faces of iPhone users when I get to an airport at the end of the day and pop in a fresh battery while everyone else is fighting over an AC outlet at the gate.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] m52 power!:
I hope you guys know that the battery percentage of any modern phone is not very accurate. It should be viewed as +/- 10% accurate since its based of voltage. Depending on the load on the battery, voltage will sag differently. This is why sometimes more info is worse. For most people seeing a graphical staggered bars representation is plenty enough.

coming from an original Evo 4G, battery life on this is amazing compared to that!!! :D

But yea, definitely one of the reason I went with SIII instead of Evo 4G LTE is the removable battery. I was able to get over 15hrs the other day with about 25% left before I charge it since I wanted to make sure I had juice for camera usage. I am on custom rom though (Blazer)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Felnarion:
Just wanted to throw in my experience with the phone.

I think this is the first, or one of the first, high-end smartphones to get battery life right.

At my work, I have very little signal, usually 1 bar, sometimes drops to roaming. Spent 8-5 there with an hour lunch (better signal at lunch). Combine this with gmail sync, work email sync every 5 minutes, twitter and facebook updates...3 hours 15 screen on, about an hour and a half of which was in games, couple Quadrants (couldn't resist) a 30 minute Skype call (over wifi) GPS on all day, Wifi on all day...

I went to bed at 10:40 with 10% remaining. For me, that's spectacular. Requires very little effort from me to achieve as well. Really, the ONLY battery saving thing I've done is to ensure dark backgrounds when I can. My home screen and lock screen are both pure black background.

Couldn't be happier. Even so, I might get a slightly extended battery (like a 2500 or so.) Just to make sure there's no way I can run it out in a day.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
S3 battery life is different for every user! based on what you do with it. Mine lasts 40 hours easily with usage here and there during the day.

honestly threads like this just scare soon to be s3 owners for no reason. 2100mAh battery is one of the biggest on the market and works just fine.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Snook321:
what are you guys display settings on?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MCKang25:
I find that a lot of people who notice bad battery life have been people switching over from the iPhone. I have also just ditched my iPhone 4 for a GS3 and I noticed that compared to my iPhone 4 the battery life was subpar. Whereas people switching from different android phones talk about better battery life. I guess thats due to the fact that the iPhone has a smaller screen and iOS's aggressive battery management.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thehavock18:
don't feel I need a spare battery. Usually get 16 hours with 4-6 hours of screen on time. After I got rid of all the Att bloat.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] d1ez3:
You know 100% doesn't actually mean 100% battery. It may have been closer to 90% in reality. When the phones reach maximum charge it will start discharging while still on the charger, yet the phone will read 100% on screen. You can fix this by bump charging (google this) but basically it will bring your battery to a true 100%. If you battery drain continued at the same rate all the way down to 70 or 60, then there may be another issue there, but you can't properly judge the battery life by going from 100 to 93, especially in the beginning of the batteries life as the phone is new. Just a thought, at least.
