[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try flashing the Stock ICS, if that doesn't work then you'll know if your phone has a serious issue.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I have a similar issue. Are you using the MicroSD card that came with the phone? I have suspicions on using different flash memory cards. Testing that theory for a few days with JJ Hybrid 3.1 ROM. If it does not hang for a few days I will put my 32GB Samsung card back in and see if it hangs again.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rainiedevil:
I am planning to flash my phone, but it seems that if I use a ROM from another carrier, I might end up having a brick. After doing my research on Google, the only thing I found useful is that Rogers' version actually share the same model # as AT&T's (SGH-I747M). Does this mean that I could use the AT&T ROM to flash my phone? Or is there another one I have to use?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dkormend:
I used the Diet ICS rom under the At&t forum and it worked just fine, granted I had already trip my flash counter prior to that so that would happen if you haven't flashed anything yet...... otherwise it does work well... and very very small in size I had almost 800 megs free on the rom size area in titanium backup. Stock was 480ish there abouts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rainiedevil:
That will be my task for the weekend then. Thanks :laugh:

There is a method to root and install custom recovery without tripping your flash counter here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Once you have completed this method, you just flash all roms through cwm and your flash counter remains untouched :D

Hello could anyone please recommend me a long usb charging cable, as the one that comes is too small. I would prefer at least 2 meters please, and am just weary of buying something that could potentially damage my phone, so if anyone has come across something reliable, please let me know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johku12:
just buy standard micro usb cable with the length you wish to have. The cable doesn't affect the charging current.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 58285:
Or just a USB extender...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vendetta718:
Hey I have a Verizon galaxy nexus and I'm selling it because Verizon is too expensive so I'm moving to T mobiles monthly 4G plan for $30 (100 minutes + unlimited texts + unlimited data)

I thouht about getting the s3 but something about having on screen buttons just spell win:laugh:

Anyway Im interested in getting the white galaxy nexus but I'm concerned that it won't be compatible with t mobiles hspa_ 21mbps

Also does anyone know if all the Gnex versions (yakju, yakjuxw , yakjusc etc) support t mobile hspa+ 21 as well?

Question 2: Do you know if the google play store will offer (or offered) the white galaxy nexus?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nanonymous:
I couldn't answer the first question but as of now, Google is not offering the white Nexus through Play. But who knows they might add it in after the JB upgrade or after they put the Nexus up back on the store? Hold on a little while if you want to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
I think that the White Nexus is just for the people that attended Google I/O.

Just like Nexus 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ste1164:
The phones given out at I/O weren't white iirc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
So just the tablets were ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Haven't heard that the I9250 isn't compatible with any operator. It is a Pentaband phone, so it should support every network around (except LTE ofc.).

But do correct me if i'm wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ste1164:
Yes it was just the tablets that were white for I/O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
My bad then. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
1. Any GSM GNex is compatible with TMo's HSPA+. Just watch out for the DoCoMo ones, as they're carrier locked and not worth the headache unless you can get a very, very good deal

2. No one knows at this point

. And you can flash any one to yakju/takju, the software is irrelevant.

Don't think so.

:( awww man I checked newegg but the search results only showed the black Gnex. I ended up paying $447 on ebay :(:(:(

oh well.

Thanks guys i REALLY appreciate your help!:victory:

Edit: btw is there a white battery door for the extended 2000mah battery for the Gnex?

and are there any deals going around for the GSM Gnex extended battery stated above?

Never seen one.
[HTC One X] xX8MoNo6Xx:
As title... which will you choose and why? (:
[HTC One X] a704e:
I really wouldn't get Beats anything, as there are cheaper alternatives which sound the same or better.
[HTC One X] MashineGun:
Personally I have the Pro version (don't like the fact that the studio need battery and modify the sound). They are a few cheaper alternatives but they are not as nice looking (my taste) and I got them 40% off so it was worth it :)
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Pro: there the only beats headphones worth getting, only ones that are actually decent headphones and amazon sell them for £230 so worth it at that price
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Personally I don't believe the sound quality and limited storage space of the One X is worth any headphones over £80. You are simply wasting money as the the One X sound simply awful with high end audio device, also there is no way to bypass the onboard DAC and amp.
[HTC One X] mrminimum:
Actually I will sell my beat pro for another headphone, sennheiser suggested :D
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
If you want Beats, keep checking this site. There's none listed right now but there will be. It's at least 50% off, sometimes more.

http://www.monstercable.com/outletstore/linelist.asp
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
Hmmm, from the link, this really does seem legit...can anyone prove this?
[HTC One X] mr1029x:
Well this IS Monster Official Home Page so it is absolutely legit
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Neither. I'll stick with my Shures.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
That site is legit. It's their outlet store.

I personally have both beats tours and ultimate ears triple fi. The beats I just use like everyday headphones as they are enjoyable I guess you can say with the bass and surprisingly good mids and highs. Solid headphones really...got them at a good deal also. Triple fi are still better of course
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I wouldn't post something that would leave you guys screwed. ;) When they have Beats back in stock, also check here.

http://www.retailmenot.com/view/monstercable.com

They sometimes have coupons for %'s off on top of the discounted price. You can search "beats" at the link below too to see if there are any outlet deals running. They just had one which is why there are none in stock.

http://slickdeals.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
Neither, "Beats" headphones are for troglodytes. They have around the same audio quality as a pair of crushed up drink cans with audio modules from two speaking birthday cards stuck onto them.
[HTC One X] Ambious:
As said, neither. If you really want to use it up to its maximum potential, get AKG or even Audio Technica (I keep getting surprised by their value for money, most AT models have the same or better sound than 2-3 times pricier AKG models). Beats are REALLY lame in mid-range sounds, which is most important if you listen to anything other than Dubbstep.
[HTC One X] TheHEFTA:
I always find it funny how many people bash the Beats headphones, yet how many of you have actually had them to justify your choices, or just put off by the price tag instantly. I have a pair of Beats Solo HDs, used to have some iBeats, both sounded amazing when attached to my One X.

On their own (in the PC, or in my iPod) they sounded pretty generic and boring, but when attached to a HTC phone with BeatsAudio they are amazing. I've converted a few Apple-only guys over to getting a One X and some Beats just from that setting alone.
[HTC One X] Ambious:
I work at an electronics store, I have all the models in display and try them alongside with many, many others - on an almost daily basis.

I'm not saying they're not good, I'm saying they're not better than sets with half the price-tag.
[HTC One X] TheHEFTA:
Thats fair enough then, I do find that without the Beats software they sound pretty much like every other head set available and you're mainly paying for the brand name. When it is paired with the software, they sound brilliant.
[HTC One X] Ambious:
Thing is that the software makes all headsets sound good, but down-below, it's nothing more than a glorified equalizer.

If you want to get your mind blown, get hold of a Cowon player. ANY Cowon player. They're a gazillion times better (in audio quality) than anything else out there, and so when the weakest link is the headset, you tell the difference.

It also varies depending on musical style. Beats are heavy on bass and treble, but nothing in between. For the right kind of music with the right equalizer, it might sound amazing, but if you listen to something completely different - say, folk rock or classic or anything acoustic, you can tell they skimped on the mid-range in favor of the extreme highs and lows. Some people prefer that, though, so it's really just a matter of personal taste.

The bottom line though - and there are not enough words to describe how this irritates me...

Monster release absolutely ZERO technical specifications!

On ANYTHING! Beats? Nada. Clarity? Zilch. Impedance, Frequency Range, power consumption - nothing!

It makes me really suspicious of the whole thing and makes me feel like they don't publish the specs so they could put a higher price-tag on it and people would have a harder time comparing it objectively (Apple used to take the same approach, and I dislike them for reasons not very different than Monster...)
[HTC One X] Crookedsoul:
I am not an audiophile but i have the beats wireless for my one x. I listen to all kinds of music and I think they are great. Now I would not pay full price for them $280 ish. But I got them for 50% off so I went that route. I like the sound.

i really want to thank you for asking these questions. many of my questions will be answered too. i am waiting for the latest batch coz i believe i will get a perfect HOX. my basic issue is battery life is short. dint you face any problem like that? or wifi problem?

anyways. i am using N900. it is the most hackable device. i do many hacking and testing with it. can all these be possible with HOX. i am sorry but HOX will be my first android device so i know very little about android.

1) is it possible to hack WEP and WPA (with dictionary) wifi network?

2) is there MDK3 for android?

3) dsniff, dnspoof, etc

4) MITM attack.

if i buy HOX i will really miss my N900 for all these. is it possible to use them in android?
[HTC One X] arunjnair:
First of all, thanks for arranging all these questions in nice manner.

I'll surely keep track of this thread, as I'm also having similar doubts, which are not yet clear even after reading many threads and posting threads....

Looking forward to buy a new HOX here, preferebly from latest batches....

And a kind request to members those who are replying;

kindly give an unbiased opinon, and pls dont mix up any other issues...

muid02

:- buddy, Please read what the thread is for....dont mix up unnecessay issues here, like your N900, adroid and other stupid stuffs...If you want clarification in those issues, start a new thread....
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Temperature - it does get hot. A lot of people say don't play games whilst charging the device, as it will get hotter.

I personally don't believe in this. The phone should have safeguards (similar to a PC) to specifically stop it overheating - infact it does, when it gets too hot, it stops charging. If it overheats and dies (which is a big if, i've certainly not heard of anyones hox dying from overheating), then this would be covered under warranty anyway. Which I believe is 2 years. It would be reallllly stupid for HTC not to test for heat issues before release. I'm sure they had a fleet of devices all running stress tests just to make sure they didn't melt.

I don't know the 'safe zones' all i know is that HTC confirmed that reaching a temperature of 55c is normal and nothing to worry about. I have since read of people reaching higher temps (72c) but I don't think even that had any adverse effects

The CPU underclocks itself for power saving. This is a separate feature from the companion core. This can be modified, you have to create a shortcut (easiest way is to use minimalistictext, and create a widget, that on tap will open the power saving settings shortcut.) It does run at 1500 however. You haven't been conned at least :p

Most hox's i've had (6 in total) had the screen ripple, the general rule on whether it is normal or not - if you have to push really hard to get it to ripple, then it's fine. It's only when it ripples on a very gentle touch that you might want to get it replaced/repaired. (a gentle touch does fall into normal use, and this ripple imo shouldn't happen under normal use.)

Do be sure that if you send back the device, that it IS a hardware problem, and that it is a bad enough issue to warrant possibly getting another, but worse problem. Note that I've been through 6 hoxs, each one of them with different (and some of the same) problems. The 6th one, is also defective, and is due to be replaced soon.

I don't believe the HOX is the first device to suffer from screen ripple. My DHD did it. The difference was i had to push unbelieveably hard to make it happen the slightest bit. So clearly there is some sort of design flaw here, particularly on those hoxs that just need a slight touch for it to happen.

Regarding the update that addresses overheating, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but i think thats the 2.05 update, which hasn't been officially released yet, only leaked. You can install a custom rom with the 2.05 base, but otherwise just be patient and we shall soon have the update OTA.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC One X] Neevar:
Thank you so much for the detailed reply Lawrence. Your feedback really cleared some things in my mind.

Regarding the temperature, I have never seen the LEDs go red or anything like that. It just feels warm, that's all. I just checked the temperatures and right now while idling it shows 39 degrees, but considering the fact that my room temperature is around 33 degrees, I suppose that's a good value (yeah, AC broke, I run a big fan in my face lol). While playing GTA 3 for about 30 minutes last night the temps reached 50 degrees. I have seen older posts claiming that 50 degrees is really bad, but those posts were after or even before the handset launched in certain regions, and most people claiming this were comparing the One X with their own handset. Now that you've said HTC confirmed that 55 is a normal temperature, I think mine performs quite well to be honest...

Note* I haven't played while charging.

About the screen ripple. It doesn't happen on normal use. but if I focus in holding my fingernail on the very edge of the screen and drag it from top to bottom, i do see faint ripples. as I've said, it doesn't bother me as long as it won't get worse... do you have any idea if it can get worse somehow with the passage of time?

I am rather afraid to replace it since yes, I might end up with an even worse unit... so, for me at least it all depends on whether or not the ripples can get worse or if it can damage my display in time. I really don't know what to do here...I certainly don't want to replace my phone for more than one time...

Since you already replaced your HTC One X 5 times now, can you tell me how the process works? Will they replace my phone at the Orange store or do they need to check on it for a frikin week before deciding to give me another?...

Regarding the update, if it's not out then I'll just wait. Considering the fact that according to HTC my temps are in check, and considering the fact that I never got a warning and / or reboot, I should be safe, I hope.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I don't think the ripple gets worse over time, I can't say for sure really because I haven't had one long enough to see, however I can say that it does appear to be the way they are assembled that causes the issue, and its that that defines how bad the ripple is, rather than it getting worse over time.

My most recent hox, didnt have very bad ripple, and now after 'repair' it does, and also has a dead pixel in a different place. I suspect they actually replaced the screen, and it so happens that this screen has bad ripple. The other one didn't.

If I could find out for definite what they did it would kinda confirm whether the ripple gets worse over time or not, but they didn't log anything about the repair (tracking site never updated) and HTC can't tell me anything other about it than 'we're still waiting for it in repair center'

The replacement process (this applies to UK):

Sales of goods act states that if there is a fault with the device, in the first 6 months after purchase, it is the retailers responsibility to repair, replace, or refund the purchase, unless the retailer can prove that you caused the fault yourself.

If the repair option is chosen, then this mustn't significantly inconvenience the buyer. IE if they send it back unrepaired, they don't really have a choice from then, other than to replace it or refund you.

However there is also a cooling off period.

http://whatconsumer.co.uk/cooling-off-and-cancellations/

Depending on whether you bought the phone from an Orange shop (from actually within the shop) or bought it via internet/phone/mail, it differs slightly.

I'm pretty sure you don't actually

If you bought it online, or by phone, but not in the shop, then you will have a 7 day cooling off period, from the conclusion of the contract

If the service was activated before the 7 day cooling off period, then you have given up the right to a cooling off period, but this must have been clearly communicated and with your agreement.

Orange must also send you written confirmation of the contract and any other additional information applicable. If this doesn't arrive within the 7 days, but before 3 months after purchase, then the cooling off period doesn't start until these confirmations have arrived.

Assuming you're out of this 7 day period, and also assuming that you haven't accepted the goods yet(see below) then you can reject the goods if they aren't as described, fit for purpose, or aren't of satisfactory quality.

I'm just looking for the cooling off period when bought in a shop, but my head hurts lol, if you do a bit of searching on google should come up fairly easily

Even if there isn't a cooling off period, which you don't need a reason to cancel, then you can reject the goods as mentioned above, on the basis they aren't of satisfactory quality, and in this instance orange will possibly replace, but they aren't obliged to at this point. Appeal to their goodwill, but they may well insist on sending it for repair.
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
I have read before than if CPU ran at 80 + degree every time then it can last for 2 years , so no worries about heat guys. The money which we have paid is worth.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
But can the adjacent components withstand that heat emitting from the CPU?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
they use the foil layer to spread the heat over the device, so yes i expect that any nearby components would be fine.
