[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You mean returning to rooted 1.73 with custom recovery, not returning to stock.

If you really want to return to stock (but BL still unlocked, of course) its much easier to run the RUU.

Also, if your intent is to update to "official" later build (like 1.85) you are better off running the RUU, or a pre-rooted recovery-flashable version. OTAs are just patches, not a clean install, and usually cause more problems then RUU. Restoring from scratch is not that hard (especially with Titanium) and you will be better off in the long run.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
thanks red. i thought it was fairly difficult to run the ruu and return to 100% stock? i guess i am mistaken, im new to this (clearly) . my apologies
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
RUU is super easy to run if you have Windows that is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
yup, sure do! just download file, connect phone and run? thought there was a bit more to it than that (editing files etc) .
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Relock the bootloader and run the RUU exe, that's it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
you only have to re-lock the bootloader.

That's it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
alrighty then. thank you both for your time, appreciate it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouse100:
Is it possibile to change city in lockscreen weather? It shows me only the city it receives from my gps/wi-fi position and I'd like to change that city..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmac161:
Tap on weather widget,then tap + and add city ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldivinag:
i think the WEATHER app database is off.

i went and cleared data, cache and defaults from WEATHER MAIN, DAEMON and WEATHER.

i go back and reload the widget and it goes and searches for location. it finds the wrong city. actually, the city next to where i am. but i'm kinda right at the border.

i'll try at a diff location and see if this cures it.

btw, i went into the MAP app and that finds me correctly...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtegg007:
Ive sort of tried to search this one (How do I search JUST the Epic 4g section of XDA??) and found no one describing this problem the way I do...

This is my second time having this issue, and the fix for it last time was a pain in the ass, so id like a new fix-

Every app, every aspect of my phone, continuously resets/reloads. This is most noticeable with Hancent SMS, as it saves a message as a draft when you close out of the app... Well, right now, ill be typing and "message saved as draft" will constantly pop up at the bottom of the screen (about once every 2 seconds), and the phone will lag and it will erase 1 or two characters(making me look like I cant type :silly: ).

If this was the only problem, maybe I could live with it, but it affects everything. Launcher Pro randomly/continuously resets. The notification bar often resets while trying to pull it down. The phone app will close or freeze as soon as I start receiving a call. Sometimes it'll play my ringtone without a way for me to answer, other times I never knew I missed a call unless they leave a voice mail... And sometimes its worse than others, sometimes its fine for an hour, then something goes stupid and even a reboot doesn't help. For instance, right now, it was happy. I launched aLogcat to check it out and now the screen orientation REFUSES to stay one way. Even setting the phone down, it switches directions every few seconds, which makes aLogcat reload and therefor its unusable.

I haven't mentioned what im running because Ive had this exact same issue on a totally different rom, almost a year ago, but im running-

build - SleeperROM_3.0.0_FC09

kernal - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-FC09_v1.0

baseband - S:D700.0.5s.FC09

firmware - 2.3.6

Ive had this happen on EB13 on the EpicExperience ROM too.

SOO, if anyone has advice on how to fix this, id be extremely interested.

On the other hand, last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a corrupt piece of memory somewhere early in the OS, something I corrupt during install, and I went ahead and reflashed and wiped and reflashed and wiped and returned to stock and etc. etc. etc... and that seemed to work... actually, I dont know exactly what part of the process fixed it, thats why I do not want to repeat it unless I have to... BUT, if someone would like to explain/point me in the right direction. I'd like to know how to DELETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and FLASH as CLEAN as possible. (that is, if no one else knows of a fix for my problem)

:D thanks all!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Err, well only thing I can think of is a truly clean install using Odin. This means do not restore any data from backups. Then slowly begin installing applications 1-by-1 through the play store website (for speed sake) to see if your issue creeps up again.

It also couldn't hurt to format your SD card too. Corrupt data on the SD card can cause some wonky things at times.

[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
Hi guys,

I don't own atrix 2 yet but m planning to get one soon so I thought to hit up xda :). I am not new to rooting and modding but still don't have idea about locked bootloader as previously I owned optimus one which had unlocked bootloader.

So all I want to know is locker bootloader guarantees that phone wont get hard bricked!!

Also is this device better then htc sensation as u all r having real life experience with the device.. :). Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The phone can ABSOLUTELY brick regardless of whether the ATRIX 2's bootloader is locked! Both soft bricking AND hard bricking can occur if your boot image or system image gets borked during a flash or FXZ or by flashing a firmware-based rom that is incompatible with your device. Be sure you read, understand, and have backups in place before doing anything...
[Motorola Atrix 2] rocky_upadhaya:
Coming from samsung phone i was also not that aware of concept of locked bootloaders but the simple thing you should understand with locked bootloader is YOU CANNOT FLASH ANY KERNEL THAT HASNT BEEN SIGNED OR VERIFIED BY MOTOROLA. previously i assume you could flash different ROMS or Kernel at your own will but in the device with locked bootloader you cannot flash custom or unsigned bootloader :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Kind of wrong. a missflash is recoverable by reflashing almost all the time.

That said, it is still possible, just look at Jim, he's gone through 4 or something crazy. It is however very hard, and as long as you are being carefull, you should be fine
[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
Thanks, I just thought as the bootloader wont get affected so it can still enter fast boot mode irrespective of flashing bad system image and then from fastboot, recovery and everything else can be put back into place, thus the only type of bricking possible being soft brick. Am I wrong with this!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
A misflash or somehow screwing up the boot image can cause a bootloop in CWM (this, coming from Jim's knowledge) and can render the phone soft bricked in a sense, but can be FXZ'd with some understanding on how to do this.

I agree lkrasner, as long as you know what you're doing and how to recover in case something unexpected occurs, you should be all set! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
So it should be concluded that phone will always be recoverable no matter how bad u screw up if u have proper knowledge and can only get soft bricked!! :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
As they say, "anything is possible". But you never can be too sure. Theoretically, you should be fine. There are several members here on the forum who can step you through possible fixes -should you find yourself needing them. :cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
Thanks guys.. :)

M already liking this forum as ppl being so considerate and ready to help at will :p

What's your opinion guys on atrix 2 vs Sensation??
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Right, softbricking is super easy for us, but it s pretty damn hard to actually hard brick it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hemanbond:
We r a family and ready to help whenever someone needs.... cheers to xda...nd thanks to all devs fo all the amazing stuff....:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
This is true. The ONLY reason I have hard bricked my phone so many times, is because I was trying to break the bootloader open, and or bypass it with some code and an unsigned kernel, and I was able to do it, but it will only last one boot, then the pone is hard bricked, and and will not even power on after something like that.

So if you really are not interested in kernel flashing and super overclocking (we can overclock to about 1.2 GHZ without issue), then you should be able to recover from just about anything.
[Motorola Atrix 2] iarejohnsmith:
Regarding OP's inquiry about the Sensation vs. Atrix 2...

Spec wise they are even, each phone takes a couple categories, but you probably already knew that.

Since the bootloader is unlocked on the Sensation, it has a ton more ROMs and is way easier too customize, so it wins there, honestly :(. Although our awesome devs are still persevering well!

From personal experience, the Atrix 2 has satisfied most of my needs. There is the fact that it is not officially compatible with a lot of games, but installing them manually actually shows that they work fine! This phone software has never crashed on me, and app crashes are few and far in between (I can't remember the last time it happened). Great hardware too, only problem is the bootloader.

The Atrix 2 community is great though, it really is like a family, and you can really get answers to questions.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
Whats keeping me from sensation is that it uses snapdragon processor while the omap used in atrix 2 uses 45nm architecture which is more efficient in processing and battery, also the camera of sensation is not upto the mark as read in reviews. But on the other side sensation is better looking device with better interface i.e. sense and also better after market firmware support, so this leaves me out in dilemma :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] shamsud:
go for sense
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
go for atrix 2 if better gpu & processing power nd longer battery is of ur concern plus it had 4g support ...nd as for software support ,sense is good but it also powerhungary and htc has only 756 MB ram compare to 1024mb ram in atrix 2 btw atrix 2 is geting ics in 10-12 weeks nd there is already a leak i m using nd trust me its pretty darn good ....it wont make u miss sense

go for htc sensation if looks, camera & display of htc matter... camera is actually good compared to atrix 2 nd the phone is more thick at 11.3mm which will hinder usability compare to atrix 2 which is 10.4mm nd very short battery life
[Motorola Atrix 2] fundoozzz:
Actually m more on atrix side then on sensation coz got to know that sensation also has wifi death grip issue...

and here is the Motorola's interface review on ICS :)

http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/05/motorola-ics-ui-review/

i wish it did. does anybody know of any third party camera apps that can allow us to zoom or is it just the hardware cant do it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdowl:
As someone who really does not give a single **** about "cellphone cameras" which aren't even cameras imho,

I was still surprised that no one put a crappy digital-zoom into the camera app to make it seem like it would have a zoom.

For the better I guess.

Digital Zoom, yes!

you can get it in different camera apps and it will look horrible.

Optical zoom on the other hand has to be supported by the built-in camera and looks good because it actually zooms with the lens instead of just magnifying the pixels that come to the screen (digital zoom).

(Simplified, of course)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackGerm:
Camera app recommendations?

Guess this is a sore spot on that "Superphone" - have to see how I can sell this to my wife ....

I'm using the app Camera Zoom FX and am fairly happy. Any other recommendations, especially for using it mainly on portrait mode.

Cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad90r:
So it really wouldnt make a difference from just taking a picture normally then zooming in and cropping with a photo editor program??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbruenig:
Just use the crop functionality in the gallery via "edit"... no difference to a digital zoom...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad90r:
Thank you sir, Will do :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I was about to say. It's time for education if someone thinks a digital zoom is actually anywhere near an optical zoom. It's only a crop of a part of the picture that gets done, nothing exactly fancy or of quality.

Very few Android phones offer optical zoom. Heck, the iPhone 4 doesn't have optical zoom either so it's not an Android problem per se.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vxZach:
Yeah I agree. I really wish there was a zoom function on the Nexus S but I guess we just have to live with it :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellar:
Yeah like others already said, zooming on most phones(not sure about nokias pure view) aren't really zooming per say. They are just cropping the image in real time. :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.b93:
Zoom is quite useless unless you have optical zoom. Since Smartphones are getting pretty thin you can't really build a Camera with optical zoom into a smartphone. There is just no space for that.

Just think about how big those lenses on a DSLR Camera are. They need that space for the zoom (Not that a optical zoom has to have such a big lens, DSLR cameras have other needs in Zoom than Smartphones)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknownzero:
I've practically tried everything, I posted in the thread for the Team Vicious ROM about this problem, a received many responses. But so far all the proposed ideas to fix this problem have come to no success. I am left with the Google X boot animation every time I tried flashing.

I'm curious what would be the best plan of action for getting to Jelly Bean successfully?

Status of GN:

verizon ROM 4.0.4 stock (unlocked and rooted)

What I'm flashing?

Team Vicious 4.1 Jellybean ROM v3 + faux kernel

My process of flashing:

factory reset in stock ROM

superwipe, or do a format to (/dalvik-cache, /cache, /data, /system)

flash jb ROM

wipe cache again (sanity check)

umount /system and /data

reboot

wait up to an hour at least 15 minutes

The Result:

Google boot animation (X)

Frustrated user

restore nandroid backup

try again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
Well what process have you been using?

What's the current stat on your phone? What ROM?

And as far as I know... your in the right place :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] windexh8er:
Well...

I'm going to assume that you've waited a good 10-15 minutes during the first boot after installation? I haven't experienced it but I've read that pulling on first boot before getting to the opening screen may cause the phone to not boot fully. Again, I haven't experienced this, but FWIW.

Next I guess I would validate that you're not doing a dirty install (installing directly over a ROM without wiping). I've had good success using the 'super wipe' script prior to loading up a new ROM.

If you haven't gone through all of the dev forums I'd suggest at least starting here: http://thesuperusersguide.weebly.com/everything-jelly-bean.html

You'll find quite a bit of relatively up to date material for getting started.

Hopefully this helps, but what I would suggest is trying super wipe, then loading up your ROM. On first boot - walk away. Don't come back for 20 minutes. If it still hasn't booted at that point maybe try reverting back to 4.0.x, making sure your phone is working and then start over step by step.

I saw this morning that there is a one-click restoration script out there now, check this out for more info:

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknownzero:
The current state of my phone is restored to 4.0.4 stock, as always unlocked and rooted. The one I'm attempting to flash is the Team Vicious v3, I have already tried v1 and v2.

The processes I've been using are a combination of following directions, then trying to the superwipe, and some other scripts. Wiping /system /cache /dalvik-cache / data, then flashing, then wiping the aforementioned and flashing again. I've practically done almost every combination possible with no success.

I wait usually 20-30 minutes, but I notice that the device heat is not fluxuating ( to me that indicated very low usage) I have reverted to 4.0.4 stock after each attempt from a nandroid backup.

I have also md5 verified all the files against the ones listed one the page, in the case you wonder about dirty data. I'm tempted to try the superwipe, flash, factory reset, then flash, wait an hour. I don't do dirty installs also, I might be a little new here but I know not to do that. What else is there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilDrunkenSmurf:
Hello there!

I'm trying to make my S3 interact with my Pioneer Avic-F700BT. It's an older HU (2009), and does not support BT streaming. It appears unable to read the S3 via USB due to lack of UMS on the S3. It worked flawlessly on my iPhone 4, but that doesn't matter at this point.

Right now, I'm investigating the use of the Infuse 4G mount + line out into the deck, but I'm looking to see if anyone is aware of any alternatives. I have not rooted the phone yet out of fear and inexperience.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to control the phone from the HU, but it's not a must. Another alternative is to just go and buy an ipod touch and leave it in my car, but it's a much more expensive option.

Truthfully, I have the i747 (Canada), but I couldn't find a different subforum for it, so I hope that I'll be accepted and loved here.

Thanks!

I haven't changed my charger, same dock, same cables. My power widget is still registering 4xxxMa, but the screen just dims and will not shut off and it goes dead sitting in the cradle.

It recharged fine just Tuesday.

I know Google plus had a weird update, first it was an invalid package then when it did update right it kept saying the package wasn't installed from the open in Play. It opens fine through the all programs though. I am using the GO launcher set so I have GO Locker on here and I think it updated also. I un installed Locker and Google+ but still acting weird.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mutantblack:
You really need to track down which apps is causing problems. After you installed the G+ and golocker yet still having problem means something else is wrong too. I would just titanium backup all your apps and format the phone and install one app at a time to find out which is causing the problem.
