Decisions, decisions

Now to throw a new spanner in the works - i've just seen an HTC One S for £295 (mint condition and it includes a 12 month warranty)

Bit of a price difference between One V (no warranty unless I opt for an ebay promoted one) and One S but effectively rules out the Sensation XE at £250

All I want is a sim-free phone that will last for 2-3 years or possibly more - so I kind of hoping the hardware will cope with app development over this time

Would the lack of SD card and non-removable battery limit the One S' lifespan?

Would I be paying over-the-odds for the One S if I'm new to smartphones let alone Android?

I'd appreciate any feedback or advice on these devices
[General Questions and Answers] Ssscrudddy:
Well I'm new to Android too. I'm liking my One V (cant compare to anything else). Seeing as I have already rooted it for the extra functionality & control, it means I've voided my warranty anyway.

It also has a non-removable battery the same as the One S.

But to me the lack of memory card on the 'better' phones is a no-brainer.

In 4 years of using my old C902 I still have 2GB (out of 8GB) left on the memory card, the phone wasnt up to much, with no wifi, & imo a rubbish camera. I didnt do much with it.

Yet in just 6 weeks of owning the One V, I've only got 2GB left on my 16GB card. Basically with the phone being all-singing & all-dancing, & a much better camera (despite both cameras being 5 megapixels) I have found I'm doing far more with it. As a result I'm rapidly filling up the memory card. So I have since put in a 64GB card. Had I bought the One S instead, I would have already filled the storage by now.
[General Questions and Answers] Tinie_Tempah:
lack of SD - a minor problem? or major one?

Hi Ssscrudddy,

You've made an interesting point there, as I've tried justifying the lack of SD as I wouldn't be loading music onto the One S at all just apps.

Out of interest, what is taking up so much of your memory? Have you used dropbox yet?
[General Questions and Answers] Ssscrudddy:
Mainly 8GB of music, & a whole bunch of motorbike videos. Also I like to video stuff, like with photography, it can often take a lot of videoing to get enough decent footage to be worthwhile using. Seeing as I'm without a decent camera at the moment (the last 1 fell off a motorbike & I'm skint atm) the best camera I have right now is my phone (One V).

I've used dropbox & I thinks it's really good. It actually saved me from getting prosecuted. Long story short, a company I have to deal with the security guards decided they didnt like me filming (I was filming as proof of what I was doing). They restrained me, took my phone, deleted the video, called the police & told a pack of lies. Thanks to dropbox though the video was still on the net (even though they deleted the vid from my phone, it must have uploaded it from a temporary file) & I was able to prove I had done nothing wrong.

My problem is that my usual haunts always seem to have really bad network coverage & there never seems to be any wifi about. As a result I like to have my stuff stored locally.

Now on the bigger card I've got 16GB of music, no change in anything else though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drdocta123:
After the update I had another reason to luv this phone all over again. So I setup my account got my 10 and I was ready to use it wherever I can. But everytime I use it either at McDonald, BP, or cvs etc it always say ask cashier if transaction went through or tap again and does nothing. Does anyone know what I can do or a solution to this. I'm still stock so I don't think there should be a problem but you never know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] moses2303:
I'm going to assume you had the app open and pin entered to unlock since you said the the phone is giving you information.

Did you ask the cashier to run the transaction as a credit BEFORE you put your phone to the machine?

They have to push credit like you were going to to use a credit card that should activate the reader. Then hold your phone to it in portrait orientation. And it should go through.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drdocta123:
Yes I tell em credit and sometimes I just have the phone on the home screen, sometimes it takes to the app to put my pin number in. Other times it doesn't do anything I have to open wallet to start working. And I lay my phone the landscape way.....if that makes a different I would feel really short bus
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stedounel:
I am wanting to snatch a full backup of the completely stock unrooted factory shipped ROM before playing around with root and other wonderful goodies provided here in the forum. I am familiar with ADB and have it set up on my system. I was wonder how this may be accomplished. Whether I should use ADB to pull the backup or use another route. Essentially, before I root, I want the whole system in its entirety backed up.

Please, anyone with some knowledge on how to do this, I would greatly appreciate your input in this thread!

Thanks so much for your involvement.

:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
I think it's going to be hard to make a good full backup without having root. I would suggest rooting using mrRobinson's method, installing the CWM recovery 5.8.4.5 from clockworkmod.com (listed in mrRobinson's thread) and then making a nandroid backup.

You might also want to make a complete clone of all your block devices. There's some instructions here if you want to try that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] samcintron:
you could always use odin to restore the stock rom back to 100% original state (minus any counter trips).

[General Questions and Answers] theblacksnake:
Hi all,

I have an archos 80 G9 with ICS 4.0.6 (rooted). I have installed chainfire 3d and it works normally. Lately I downloaded N.O.V.A 1 and I opened it. It starts normally and I am getting started to play with perfect graphics and performance. The problem is that after 15 seconds the game crashes. It says that it had stopped BUT THE GAME BEHIND THE MESSAGE BOX PLAYS NORMALLY! Even though after 3 seconds it closes automatically. To get to the point I wonder If is there any way to configure android not to show this warning, cus the game is really perfect!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] loveubuntu:
Let me first start by saying that I hate hate hate Yahoo mail but after using it for 15 years, I can't get rid of it. Not sure if anyone else had this problem or not:

My first attempt was done by going to Accounts and sync/add account on the bottom/Email/ and then I picked the already made Yahoo mail account from that screen. I had nothing but weird things happen. Sync was erratic, if I deleted an email from PC it still existed on the phone and vice versa, etc. I could not change any of the settings such as "delete emails on server" to fix this.

Solution: I deleted the account and set it up a second time but this time I did not choose the already made icon after going to Accounts and sync/add account on the bottom/Email/ . Instead I chose OTHERS and let the S3 do it automatically from there. It works great now. You don't get the cute Y on the email icon in the notification bar but you get a generic email icon in there. Hope this helps someone.

If you are getting it on the external SD, try a different card. Use an external dongle to read the existing card.

Just bought my TF700t 64GB from Newegg but they don't have the keyboard docks available yet. Where (in the US) can I buy a keyboard dock for the Infinity? I've read the TF201 dock will work but the colors are different and although it offers a better battery than the TF700 dock...the color difference would drive me nuts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Everybody got a TF201 dock so far and you can't be sure when the TF700 docks are available, so it's up to you.

Hopefully someone will share their experiences with the new dock soon enough then!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
altho the dock has lower battery power (19 vs 23) it still adds 5 full hours and fixes the touch issues the trackpad in the 200 so i would def go for it instead. its also available on amazon right now

Can't find the dock for the tf700 on Amazon yet.

Plenty of the TF300 docks though.

Before I attempt using darktremors or ungaze on cm9/apoplexy..I wanted to know if it was compatible? I've seen a post similiar to this before but haven't been able to find the exact post....I'm currently using gingerbread roms with darktremors a2sd script along with s2e...I don't like using link2sd...it doesn't seem to clear up enough of the phones internal storage.....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Trublood_:
In my Galaxy Mini running AOKP, darktremor script works fine (but little laggy) S2e doesnt work, Link2sd (not my favorite either) works, but it leaves somethings on internal but is fastest

Hey appreciate it man..ill give it a try
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Use Link2SD, its fast, simple UI

Plus it gives you many options and is compatible with every ROM :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
S2E works with every CM9 based rom..

I can make it work on cm9, paranoid, picollo etc except AOKP because its diferent from CM9. And it do a better job than link2sd.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
hi, ive been reading all these threads and cant seem to find what im looking for or just not completely getting it, i get lost with all these different roms and kernels with all the numbers hash slash marks ect. and not real sure what it all means .

what i have is a stock vivid with ics 4.0.3. , software number 3.26.502.5671rd , sense ver. 3.6

what i want is the fastest or smoothest web browsing , with out all the bloat ....improved battery life would be nice and hotspot also but not a must

and do i need s off for any reason or root ?

i just want to understand all this and get lost or overwhelmed with all the terminology and how to know witch rom will work with witch kernels ,any help would be great thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RyTheShark:
Wrong thread!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlos805424:
Your in the wrong thread but I'll give you a quick answer.

1. Root your Vivid

2. S-OFF your device

3. Get Dark Raiders ROM

4. Flash Kozmikz kernel

5. Enjoy!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
sorry for wrong place .

i just did the bootloader unlock should i not have don that ? how to get s off? i dont know how to use hansen2000 yet . rom first ? does it tell me how to flash?

thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
some more questions

i have been trying to get this all down so i don't mess nothing up "done had a boot loop issue" but i got it all fixed just want to go over what i don't understand yet , ok on a custom kernel do i have to control stuff like the cpu? or is it all automatic ? if i down load one ( using cwm ) what files do i put on the root of the sd card?

as for roms i want to try a couple to see witch ones i like best such as dark raider rom there is a lot of files there and im not sure of witch one or ones to put on the root of the sd as well ,

and using cwm will doing a recovery just put it on the sd automatic ? do i erase every thing after i do a recovery ? kernel first or rom ? or do some roms have kernels already ?

i also read i have to have the up dated hboot , how do i know if i do?

i took a stock phone awhile back did the ruu and got ics now i have unlocked boot loader, s off , and rooted

did i miss any thing ? i just dont wanna crash it again that was the worst feeling every , well as far as losing a toy ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Are you s off? If you are not s off then you can't flash kernels through recovery...you will have to fastboot flash them.

When you flash a kernel with oc abilities it will be set to a default speed by the dev that made the kernel...so no you font gave to set your CPU speed...but you can...

Before you flash anything you will have to wipe data cache and Slavic cache from with in your recovery

Before flashing a Rom it is wise to flash its kernel before hand through fastboot...unless your s off...if your s off then wipe and flash

As long as your on ics then your on the newest hboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I'm s off

So witch files in the kernel and Rom do I move to the root of Sd ?

And let me see if I have this right ,

Go into h boot , wipe the 2 catch you mentioned , then do the recovery , then install the files from the kernel then the Rom files before booting ? Is that correct ? And I guess cwm will kinda walk me thru it ?

I also downloaded flash image GUI if needed , Im not sure if I can do it all with cwm or if I needed both .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Alright...you just need the zip, do not extract it, leave everything in the zip

Don't wipe anything from hboot, just boot into recovery and you will see the options to wipe

Once wipe is done instal zip...it can be on external sd or internal...if you put on exterrnal ad then choose install zip from sd card/external sd if its in internal then choose install zip from internal storage

All you need is cwm since your s-off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Ok one last question and sorry for being so dumb about this , I downloaded dark raider and there is all kinds of files and files in files and I don't know witch I need . Thanks for you help I will click ur button soon as I get and give ya what I can thanks again
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Let me download it to see what your talking about...but it should just be a zip??

Edit: downloading now its coming as a single zip...I think your viewing the contents of the zip...just put the darkraider zip in the phone...it may look like a folder but its actually a compressed zip file...if you right click it in windows it should say compressed under properties
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I will give it a go when I get home

But it seems like I did that somewhere before and it told the file was too larg to be a Rom ?? 600mb and so I asked some one somewhere and they told me to dig in the files and get what I need out and put on Sd that way

600 mb sound right for a Rom ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
dark raider is 594mb it is so big because of all the install options
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Oh ok , so do I have to choose an option to install ? Or what exactly does that mean , again sorry for the dumb ignorance questions
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
When you install it from sd, it will run a program similar to windows install wizard I guess...it gives you options on what you want, you just choose yes or no.

Don't worry about the questions, your new...better to ask a lot of questions and get it right the first time then to not ask enough questions and get it wrong...

So,

1)get the DarkRaider_1.5.5.zip on your phone

2)Boot into recovery

3)From within recovery wipe data, cache and dalvic cache

4)Install zip from internal storage/or sd card

5)Locate and choose dark raider

6)From there it will open the installer (aroma)

7)then just keep going through aroma until it let's you install

8)reboot and enjoy
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
K one last question and I will get on it soon as I get home and give tall an update ,

Will doing it in that order install the kernel as well or do I need to do the same process to install the kernel ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Since your s off the kernel should automatically be installed by the Rom, if it doesn't let us know and we will tell you what to do from there (if wifi works after installing the Rom then the kernel installed)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
having an issue , the phone wont boot into recovery for some reason it use to tho , now its just stuck on white htc screen

i can take the battery out and go back in hboot and then i select recovery and the same thing happens any ideas ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Are you already rooted? If you are rooted then download this app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453617 its a dollar on playstore but he has free download on that thread.

Install that app (its called flash image GUI)

Download recovery of choice...cwm, wcx, twrp...whatever (I personally use twrp)

Open the flash image GUI choose recovery image

Navigate to and select the recovery of your choice that you downloaded

Press flash

If you are not yet rooted then

Download use the vivid toolkit

Choose recovery you want to flash

Flash it with the toolkit

Let me know how those options work for you

Here's a picture of flash image GUI app and how it should be set up:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I have that one , I finally got it I just went in recovery from cwm and got it all done except the WiFi says error now , but everything else seems ok ,

the network interenet works good then then every now and then it just stops working but the Sig is up and down here

Also do I need to re down load cwm ? It's gone after I installed the d raider Rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Hmm...its strange you lost cwm after dark raider...yeah I would download and reflash it...

And as for the WiFi not working, thats a common symptom of a bad kernel flash...here's what you do, with some sort of zip/archive program browse the dark raider zip and extract the boot.IMG (you can use the app "es file explorer" from play store...its free

Once you have boot.IMG extracted flash it with flash image GUI or vivid toolkit...

If WiFi still doesn't work then reflash the Rom

Or you can just download a kernel of choice and flash it in recovery (I have kozmikkernel on my vivid)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
ok i will try that , but now im having a new issue

play store is gone and if i go online either pc or phone every thing i try to install says "already installed on your device"

i think that kozmikkernel was one of the kernel options and i choose d that one as well
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Strange...you can try downloading and installing play store from here http://androidadvices.com/download-google-play-store-3-5-19-apk/

And you took nothing out of the zip before flashing correct? If you dud may be causing your problems...

Or it could be just a bad flash and/or bad download...I suggest a reflash and see if that helps, if it doesn't then I suggest redownloading dark raider and then flashing the freshly downloaded one
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i will give it a try ,

i just downloaded the file and moved it from download to the root

can i move the rom from the pc to the sd ? it took about 2 hr to re download it , i had to re download it because i unzipped it and couldn't figure out how to make it a zip again
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Yes, just connect phone to computer through USB, then choose mass storage on your phone, it should the open an autoplay-choose view files...if auto play doesnt pop up, open start menu on Windows, choose my computer and,loon for your phone in the drives

If none of then are your phone then you will need to get HTC sync from HTC website (it will install drivers)

Then try again

Just drag and drop the downloaded zip into your phone
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I got g store on here from the link but when I open it it says " unfortunately google store stopped working "

Can I get cwm online and maybe dl it hopefully it works?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
go under settings, go to apps,look for google playstore (may have to go to the "all" tab)

click on google play store, force stop, clear data and clear cache then reboot and try again

let me know if that helps...how did you get cwm originally? you van get cwm from a few places...you can use this program to flash it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 from your computer to your phone...go under phone setting, then go to develop option,enable USB debugging if it is not already enabled. run the program you downloaded (you will have to extract it from the zip...this is not something you flash through recovery) highlight CWM 5.5.0.4 by clicking on it once, once its highlighted click the button flash recovery

or you can download CWM from its thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423075
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
i got cwm from the store , so i got to flash the app is that what you mean ? im trying the force stop and re boot now,
