Small Help

Go to System Settings> More> APNs> Press Menu and Click Restore to default

and that should fix it for the mean time instead of having to reboot into recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuBeX:
I have same problem. But if you disconect data before connecting to the WiFi, and dissconect wifi before connecting to the data it will work. It's a bit confusing but you will get used to do it ;)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediphong:
My phone magically started working properly for a few weeks! And now the problem is back, and alas, neither solution works :(

I also routinely move in and out of wifi areas and cell radio coverage, so constantly changing the connection is a bit of a nonstarter (though I did try, to no success).
[Epic 4G General] counterfeit187:
I figure most wont read in the old PRL 60687 thread so here is another thread to spread the news. Used multiboot so I could update PRL and profile on my CM9 rom, and noticed that the PRL actually updated! Latest version is 60690. I think I also saw a slight improvement in my signal strenght... is this something PRL does?
[Epic 4G General] MeetFace:
It updates towers and whatnot, so I don't think it intrinsically increases signal strength but points your phone to better/other towers?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Nope. Has nothing to do with signal strength. Only roaming towers.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I have heard conflicting accounts on this matter (not necessarily from knowedgeable sources), but the question I haven't seen asked or answered is, how does the phone find Sprint towers?

I ask because, while they may have mistaken a coincidence for a direct correlation, I have definitely seen people confirm a stronger signal after a PRL update in an area where a new tower was recently installed. This seems to suggest that their phones were not utilizing the new tower until after the PRL was updated...

(It wouldn't be the first time that something was repurposed without an accompanying name change to better reflect its purpose and function)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
PRL=Preferred Roaming List

Key word is roaming. In the PRL you find other than Sprint towers. Updating Profile sets you up with Sprint towers. What happens is people often update Profile when they update PRL. It used to be recommended to update Profile monthly.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I'm slightly OCD about details, so I'm relieved to hear that the PRL's function still matches it's name (I can't think of any examples off hand, but I know I've seen things that fit their name originally, but their function evolved while the name didn't...)

Anyway, I noticed what you just confirmed about data profiles when I updated my PRL and profile about ten minutes ago - the signal stayed the same after the PRL (I gave it a few minutes, for the sake of thorough observation). After the data profile, I gained one bar. I came back here to ask if there could be a correlation, or if I was about to form a false connection in my mind due to a coincidence...

Kenny, you answered my question three hours before I knew I would ask - I'm not sure how I should feel about that... it's helpful, but I'm still a little jumpy every time I see anyone in a red and blue spider suit now...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
don't look behind you, look above you stuck to the ceiling...;)
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
ROFL!!!!!!
[Epic 4G General] Ruedii:
If I recall correctly, PRL Lists tell the phone what Cell Phone towers to look for. If there is a new cell phone tower in your area, updating the PRL will definitely help.

Hi! :D

I'm about to switch to a newer phone from my beloved (and dead) desire S. I was thinking about buying a Sensation (XE maybe?) instead of a One S (due to battery replaceable and sd card slot). What do you think?

So far i loved HTC and Sense (even if they're so slow in updating SO). I don't feel like moving to Samsung, should I?

I have no main use for the phone: I use it (obviously) for phoning, for games, I changed rom often on Desire S, watch videos (TV series too), listen to music, social networking, e-mails, and so on. Like it was a laptop! :)
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I think you should go ahead for the one s the sensation is getting somewhat old..

I found sense on this phone a little bit slow/laggy however everything else is good except battery life and horrible speaker... And of course death grip.

BTW, thanks for the helpful post! :)
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
Haha don't make the stupid mistake of buying a sensation mate. The sound is so bad on the phone, I've made a decision to never buy anything from HTC again. A Samsung phone will satisfy you.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
CPU and GPU and few other things like modem, GPS etc...

Very informative post with a lot of supporting information. May I ask you why bother typing that?
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
More cons for Sensation:

The antennas are integrated into the back cover, which is removable. This translates into crappy signal in fringe areas.

Wifi deathgrip is very prominent when covering the top of the phone. Landscape browsing? Better learn to hold your phone with one hand or your fingertips. :p

I've learned to accept my Sensation's flaws, so I'll live with it until contract is up. But if I was buying something new right now, it definitely wouldn't be a Sensation. Probably jumping to the Samsung side next year.

[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
Its funny how a few ppl are talking about he should get a Samsung. I wouldn't do it. All their phones feel so cheap and flimsy. There is one Samsung I will get and it the galaxy nexus and that's only cause it a nexus, it also helps Google is selling it unlocked for $350. If I was the op I would get that or an amaze. I love the sensation but I know there is alot better out. I know the amaze is only slightly better but for me it has more ram and faster hspa. The one s is very fast but the non removeable battery, amoled and no SD card really kills it for me
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
Gonna throw this out there right now, it's my reason for NOT getting a One S... My niece got one like three weeks ago... Spilled a TINY bit of water on it and since it has no removable battery, etc.. She dried it IMMEDIATELY, turned it off and placed it in a bag of rice... Worked okay, however, the internal memory was DESTROYED... It would corrupt the system all of the time and so forth, long story short... She ended up having to get it repaired. I will NEVER own a phone without a removable SD and battery now. (She was told by repair that it was damaged because even though she turned it off, since the battery couldn't be taken out there was still a current running through it.)
[HTC Sensation] fonpacific:
The "cheapy" feeling of Samung's smartphones is why I was looking for an HTC. I don't feel like spending that money for a plastic device.

Gosh! That's the reason why I hated my Desire S! Though I learned to live with it, I'd like to keep far away from such devices...

Thank you for answering in my shoes! ;)

My Desire S died after it tried to snorkel in the sink...

After this last comment I'm inclined towards the Sensation XE, but the death grasp.... It's an hell of a decision!:confused:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The death grip issue

Hmmm

I bought an used one.. And using it from past 4 months.. And has wifi every day.. And didn't have a single death grip issue.. May be just me.. But I haven't seen that until now

[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
I'm gonna tell you this right now, I've got a Sensation 4G and I'm using the XE back with one less antenna and I have had NO death grip issues. I'm not just saying that, I've had the best signal with this phone opposed to any of my others. (Maybe the others were REALLY crappy? Lol.)

Anyway, I just got a replacement Sensation sent out to me from T-Mobile. It'll get here Monday. They offered me the One S for free and I turned it down. (They said I could call back if the new Sensation doesn't work out.) However, I really feel the Sensation will be the phone that I stick with until HTC comes up with something new.
[HTC Sensation] amity2kare:
Ganesh, the sensation does have the death grip issue. I've had one for the last 1 year and can confirm that first hand. I just love the phone but a few niggles pointed out by users on this forum like the death grip, horrible battery life etc are very much existent.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I got the 4G version (tmobile US one) and didn't have that issue.. Battery.. Yeah the stock One is utter crap.. But Anker solved the battery issue completely

God, now I'm even more confused...:eek:
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
The Sensation is a great phone fonpacific, as is the One S. They both have their flaws, all phones do. Personally, I think you'd be better off with the Sensation till HTC comes up with something better that has a removable battery and microsd. :P

That's the other thing about the One S... I forgot... It's advertised as 16gb but you only get like 7-8 usable for pics/vids/music. (My niece was SO upset about this.) I've got a 64gb card in my phone. :)
[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
Well actually the sgs3 is made of the same plastic the one s is made off. I can't say anything about the sgs3 but the one s and one x feel really great and well made. Maybe Sammy stepped up their game idk
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Oh I think that does matter. There was a China-only variant dubbed z710t. It had a Sony-Ericsson processor which was supposed to be superior to our Qualcomm Snapdragon S3.

So if you go with Sensation, make sure you know which one you're buying. Don't know about the ROMs, but I'm pretty sure kernels here wont work on those z710t's. Z710t probably has its own development somewhere, but you'll probably need to be able to read Chinese. :D

Oh and back on topic, you guys with no deathgrip are really lucky. I'm actually on my second Sensation since the screen on my first one died, and I still have deathgrip.
[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
If I was u I would go with the galaxy nexus if u already are planning on paying $350 for a sensation or another phone. I mean its a nexus lol

I'll take it in account, thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] Jinji1:
Actually, the ONE series is made of aluminum, not plastic.

The GS3 feels much better than the GS2, but it's still made of plastic.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
In fact you are both right ;) One colour version is made of aluminium, another one from plastic.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I actually really love my sensation. It's proven to be a great device. We have a wonderful development for it with a lot of choices of great custom roms and new ones coming out all the time! My sensation has never given me a issue personally. I have got lots of enjoyment out of it! I think you would also. It's been reliable and the ability to customize is great ! This is my opinion. Everyone is different but I don't regret getting my sensation for a second!
[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
I'm gonna be straight honest if I could go back and not buy a sensation I would have. I should have waited for a newer phones or at least tried for better. The performance is gd and battery sucks. I have a anker 1900mah the does the same as the stock battery in my mytouch 4g did. It data is slower and less consistent then all the previous 4g phones I had, even did the dish 2/3 thing. But don't get me wrong I love this phone but its more of a love hate relationship lol

[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
I bought the Galaxy Nexus from Google yesterday and put my phone on Craigslist this evening and have received over 15 legit emails (plus about 6 scams I deleted). But, before I actually sell my Sensation, I really want to compare the Galaxy Nexus to the Sensation, because I really think it is going to be very difficult to match up to the Sensation. The build, the style and the feel of the Sensation is just as equal to the HTC One. I have not seen one phone out that I like, compared to the Sensation since it came out last year. I'm am not a fan of Samsung cheep plastic, but I love Nexus and want to test the new JB OS. You can get a used Sensation for $200 or the Galaxy Nexus for $350, both without a new contract.
[HTC Sensation] nikomo55:
dont get sensation death grip is very annoying, it messes with wifi, bluetooth and 4g. look for something newer, check the year it was released.
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
Mmm.

*never had issue with signal, ever. In fact, quite the opposite, is much better than my previous phones (iphone)

*screen is superb imho. One of the best screens still.

*perfect size

*robust and bombproof.

*great design,

*great camera

*really good HP Audio

Battery life on a par with every other smartphone (3-4 hrs screen time per charge)

*great ROMs and dev.

*removable battery

*removable Sim

Cons:

* heavier and bulkier than the one-s

*Loudspeaker is rubbish for anything other than a ring

*?

Don't regret my purchase for one minute in fairness. Even now, it still holds up well against more modern opposition.

Would be a good phone for cheap money imho.

Enabling Developer Mode in webOS will have no effect on Android Root Access.

Make sure you go to CM Settings and make sure for Developer Options, Root Access is set to Apps and ADB

Also open the Super User app and look at the "Default Action" property and settings and make sure it isn't set to deny.

I just downloaded the zip files and there is something wrong with them. I can't open them. Either way, why don't you go into the Google Play Store on your Touchpad and then uninstall the SuperUser app. Then re-install it. After that double check to make sure that you have latest su binaries.

Am I now running the newest version of ICS available for a stock/unrooted Nexus S? I believe I am, but I see that some of the custom ROMs have IMM76I and I just want to make sure that IMM76D is the newest version for stock/unrooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikkokusenkin:
Hey everyone, how's it going? I wanted to know if anyone on here reads ebooks a lot on this device. How's the reading experience mainly with regards to screen size? Do you find the screen too small for comfort or is it good enough? It would be great if anyone out there has also tried to read PDFs (which mostly don't do very well with text wrapping/extraction and hence must be read in their PDF form).

I've ordered the Nexus 7 tablet because I need a hand-held device to read ebooks/PDF on. However, since I have an old HTC Desire, I'm wondering whether getting the Galaxy Nexus and killing two birds with one stone wouldn't be a better choice.

I've looked at a lot of reviews online and I'm satisfied with this phone in every other way. I also know that I'll have to spend $350 instead of $199. However, my primary concern is screen real estate. Is it big enough to provide a satisfactory reading experience? I know I can go look at the phone in a store but I'm looking for feedback from people who've done some reading on it for a reasonable amount of time. Just a glance or spending 5 minutes with the phone in a shop is not enough to make a good decision, IMO.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
the screen is superb for doing just that, the colors really stand out.

of course the only draw back is that natively you dont get the whole 4.65 because of the navbar, but you can fix that with a couple of mods :) and even without the mods, its great!

you can't really get much of a bigger sized screen unless you go with One X or galaxy S3.

hope i helpped :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikkokusenkin:
Hey, thanks for replying. I'm not worried about the navbar too much because most ebook reader programs allow you to hide it. How's the 4.65" screen for reading for extended amounts of time? Did you ever think it was too small? Also, have you tried reading PDFs on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
I really love it both for ebooks and for reading PDFs. I'm frustrated that Google Play Books still doesn't let you highlight or take notes on Android when that feature has been on iOS for months. But hopefully it's coming. And, in the mean time, the Kindle app lets you do all of that.

There already are rooted stock roms out.

Why even risk it? It takes less than a day
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
I don't know. So you don't have to wait at all? Or for the people that aren't accustomed to flashing ROMs or don't care to. I prefer this method for whatever reason and it seems just easier. Personal preference though. The beauty of android and their strong developer network is that it gives the users choices. I can take the OTA update as soon as it comes out and don't have to worry about waiting for anything. Just another method I guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] msimindlessmsi2:
TL:DR there are already rooted stock roms in one of the dev forums. Flash it and flash the update firmware via bootloader and you're done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
The update firmware is the part that hangs me up. I believe when it was back in the original EVO days that some people were having problems updating their PRI version and it screwed up some things with wimax. That is when I decided I would just accept the OTA to get everything they included in the update and then gain root access through this method.

Again, to each their own. Please try not to clutter up the thread with off topic items. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greyopaque:
Because all of the ROM flash threads state you have to do a factory reset. Even with Titanium, I don't have the time to reset everything back up the way I want it... including all the folders I've created, etc. If you could flash a ROM and maintain all your data intact, I might consider it. Perhaps there's something I'm unaware of.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
im coming from the rezound, i just want the updated firmware! on my rez being s-off i could run ANY firmware ICS, or GB and then go back to whatever rom i was running. im wondering if im s-off, i should b able to do the same thing right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The devs state that so that they don't have to spend their valuable time troubleshooting because you didn't flash right. Its always best to do a full wipe, but not always required when flashing an updated version of the same ROM.

1) Nandroid.

2)Wipe Dalvik cache & cache

3) Flash

You retain all data.

If you have issues, then you nand restore and do a full wipe before bugging the devs
