[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
Try these too!

Try Apex Launcher or LauncherPro (the one I recommend)..

Hey I like HTC Sense 4! Why do you want a launcher?

I use no launchers and use it with lowest brightness (only when I'm out under the Sun, I increase it) and also disable many apps (bloatware)..

My battery life is too good!!
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
So , you rooted..
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
Optimus UI 3.0 or Motorola UI. They are both great launchers and available on XDA

[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
ATOM Launcher
[HTC One V] ReDDs3D:
If you were using TouchWiz or Motoblur, I would recommend you something like Launcher PRO, but IMO i feel that Sense 4 is already so efficient I find no need for a 3rd party launcher....

Sense 4 has everything, it's fast, stable, has many options, and is overall RAM efficient as well, and not to mention damn sexy
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
Nnnnnooooooooooo

NO.. I'M NOT!
[HTC One V] sohamssd:
Use 'espier launcher' - That's like ios

Or 'launcher 7'- like wp7 tango
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
Then why are you on xda.....
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
For the ics feel, I suggest nova or apex.

For customizing go Launcher and atom launcher are pretty good.
[HTC One V] aroodipeep:
Definitely Apex! A lot more responsive I find.
[HTC One V] Lloir:
there is no "best" launcher, like there's no "best" rom.....try a load out and see what fits your needs best
[HTC One V] duculetu:
I have a question if i may, i don't wanna use a launcher, just wanna get rid of 5 home screens. Does anyone know how to delete 4 home screens for HTC One V - fw 4.0.3 ?

I need only one home screen and i can manage all my apps quite brilliant :)
[HTC One V] gulsher:
apex
[HTC One V] duculetu:
Thanks glusher for your prompt response but i would like an app, a twich, not a loader, any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
I am using skygo but had to install the newer version but now I keep getting error that it doesn't work on rooted phones but I have always used OTA and never had any problems until now.

Only channel I get is Sky News

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naokilla:
Wait..so you are rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Yes but i use OTA to hide root but still getting the message
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akatosh:
Nope you cannot use the app at all if you have root. At all. Ever. Never ever never ever.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Is that since the update?

Used it without any problems before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AcuraKidd:
So I purchased my Nexus directly from the Play Store a few months ago. My build version is IMM76I

I have no modified my phone in any way, no unlock, bootloaders, custom roms, nothing! its all completly stock.

How come I am not able to receive the Jelly Bean update?

Also, how come I'm the only one with the IMM76I build? everyone else seems to have takju or yakju? whats the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
The rollout may take several weeks if you don't want to manually update. Eventually you will get the notification. There is a workaround that works sometimes by deleting Google Services Framework data and then checking for an update again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
I believe IMM76I is the code for yakju 4.0.4, so you have yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dru858:
No, he bought from the Play Store so he has takju. I have a phone from the Play Store and am on build IMM76I and am still awaiting the Jelly Bean OTA as well. I've tried checking frequently throughout the day since the announcement and also just leaving the phone alone to check by itself and still nothing yet. Growing impatient. Wish that Google with specify the tentative length and specifics of their OTA rollouts instead of just saying "over the next several days." Soon it will be more than "several days" and turn into "more than a week" and then "several weeks."

From Google Search:

sev·er·al/ˈsev(ə)rəl/

Adjective:

More than two but not many: "the author of several books"; "Van Gogh was just one of several artists who gathered at Auvers".

Separate or respective: "their several responsibilities".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarun95:
Try as bozzkid told. Go to setting >apps>all and then select Google services framework. Just force stop it and clear data and check for update I am sure you'll get it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pasha425:
Settings>application >all>Google services framework >clear data. Then check for update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
My mistake, this is true
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AcuraKidd:
just did this and got the message for update to 4.1 but it says wifi only

I have no wifi connection around me, I'm on Tmobile 4G, any way to trick the system to proceed with the download?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdub74:
I'm new to Android after 3 years with an iPhone. I bought an unlocked Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store specifically so I'd be able to upgrade to Jelly Bean as soon as it was available and not have to deal with carrier delays. Now, nearly a week after the release, I'm still waiting. Already tried the clear framework trick, which didn't work and resulted in multiple reboots and log in/out to Google Play to get everything working again.

This is one area where Apple kicks Google's butt. When a new iOS releases, everyone who has an eligible phone can download it immediately. Even with the small install base of the Galaxy Nexus, they still aren't rolling out to everyone.

Come on Google, get your act together and release the OTA update to all unlocked Galaxy Nexus phones. Enough with the staggered release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pasha425:
No, have to find a wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dru858:
Agreed. Or perhaps they could provide a stock method of being able to apply an update zip if you're not able to update OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
If you have a friend with a smartphone capable of providing wifi hotspot, that will work for getting the update via "wifi".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dru858:
Finally got my OTA notification this morning when I manually checked at 11:04 AM. Downloading now... Good things do come to those who wait, I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
please help my galaxy nexus is my pride and joy and it seems as though all the files are gone, it wont boot past the google logo and i am willing to pay. please i just need some way of restoring all the system files please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
More info, please.

Can you get into bootloader?

(Pull battery. Then hold Volume+ and Volume- and Power until the Android with it's chest exposed is shown).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
i have a vzw galaxy nexus and i had downloaded faux's kernel for jelly bean on to my phone. i turned it off and it wiped everything. i cant access my recovery nothing. i tried odin to restore it and galaxy nexus tool kit but nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
yes i can but when i go into CWR and try to go to install zip from sd card it says coouldnt open directory no files found same with restore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
can i take it to verizon? it has the unlock sign under google so i doubt it. i just need something this phone is my baby
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx

Set this up.

And send me your ID and Password via PM.

I'll remotely control your PC and walk you through the process.

I feel this is the best option for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prkchop:
thanks for the help one minute
[HTC One X] slashd0t:
Anyone else use their One X for turn by turn for more than an hour? On a recent trip I was on I was using my One X as my main GPS device (plugged in).. When I arrived at my destination I was amazed that my battery had been draining faster than it had been charging! Tested a few more times with the same result and I find the only way to stop it is to turn down the screen brightness to 10 where I can hardly see the screen making the GPS unusable ..

Sometimes I hate this phone.. :(
[HTC One X] Juanig:
You need a faster charger. Get one about 750-1000 mAh and will be fine.
[HTC One X] madenssblade:
The one x can only draw about 500 mah so anything over won't make a different
[HTC One X] Juanig:
I´ve seen mine over 700 mAh. It depends of your charger.
[HTC One X] mrdey:
Was having same problems... Then i swapt the charger with original one... Now it charges like a charm:)
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
rubbish.

a 1 amp charger does and will charge the one x faster than a 500ma charger.
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
I'm using a 1000 mAh charger don't ve this problem however it will stop charge when it gets over heated.
[HTC One X] shiningarmor:
best lie of the day
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
whats a lie about it lol?
[HTC One X] shiningarmor:
durrrrrrrr

holy ****, i read 100 mah instead of 1000.

my eyes are failing lol
[HTC One X] Kubino77:
Same experience here, international HOX drains a faster than charges from car plug. Using Belkin 1A charger and original 1m cable, Im getting only like 500 mA into the device. BUT the consumption actually depends on used navigation software, some drain 1A (HTC locations), but others are not that demanding, asking bellow 500 mA. And same is for heating issue.
[HTC One X] slashd0t:
Yeah I'm just using Google Navigation and a 1000mah charger..

The phone does get stupid hot while doing this, so, perhaps it's overheating and not charging as mentioned previously?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
All 1A charging adapters aren't created equal. Same as with cheap MHL, HDMI, and USB cables. I use my G-Tab's car adapter and have never had any issues with heat or the phone pulling more current than the charge puts out. I've used it non-stop for trips over five hours too (while using A2DP to stream music at the same time and with Vlingo InCar checking e-mail every five minutes). You might want to try a more premium adapter before pulling your hair out troubleshooting the phone.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Have some original htc charger with 2 USB ports. And still same issue as op. Drains faster as it charges. What's a more premium charger to you?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
People in the car dock discussion were actually complaining about the included HTC charger. I bought some extra HTC standard U.S. USB charging adapters and cables from Expansys and one of the three was DOA. So I guess "premium" can't always be judged by brand.

Below is what I'm using. The problem with buying OEM chargers and cables is that eBay and Amazon are full of knock-offs that come in cellophane vs. manufacturers packaging. Over time I stopped buying cables and charges anywhere but places like Expansys, Clove, and Handtec. They cost more but I know they're real OEM parts and that they'll work (with the above exception); out of the box and over time.

http://www.expansys.com/accessory-finder/#manid=783&intstockcode=219790&atype=Power

EDIT: Duh. It's a 2A charger. I looked at the specs after I posted and looked at my actual charger to verify it. So get yourselves a 2A tablet (vs. phone) charger and I'm guessing that'll do the trick.
[HTC One X] mrdey:
Like BarryH_GEG said, there are different types of 1A adaptors... I have two chargers - 1000mA generic and 1000mA HTC's charger that I've got in the package with original HTC car kit... If using generic, phone recognizes it as a USB (and charges realy slow), when using original-one It recognizes it as AC and charges as fast as when it is connected to normal 'wall plug'. So... Check in battery stats how your charger is recognized...

Of course it gets hot when charging at the same time when using GPS navigation, but it never overheats.
[HTC One X] slashd0t:
It's possible it's the charger, but, it's a high quality charger... I'll try swap it for a different kind and see how that goes..

Thanks all for the help.
[HTC One X] Super-Veloce:
just use a 1A (1000mA) charger. put your brightness not higher than 50% (prefer lower, but because of the sunlight, sometimes a bit higher than 33%)

it will even charge! ;)

I got no problems with it ;)

the One X can charge with 1A..

when you just use your normal inhouse charger, you've got a 1A charger, when you connect your phone to your notebook, you'll get 500mA. (0,5A)

for car chargers, look for a 1A charger, higher is useless.
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
I'm using the same official HTC car charger that I used with the Desire. It works perfectly, even when using Sat Nav.

This is the exact model (auction is just the first one I came across and is nothing to do with me)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official-Genuine-HTC-CC-C200-Micro-USB-Car-Charger-for-HTC-ONE-X-S-V-/200791540305?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2ec01bc251
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
The Belkin chargers will never charge an Android device at 1000mA. The D+ and D- pins are not connected together, so the Android device (correctly) assumes it is plugged into a USB port.

You either need an official HTC/Samsung/Huawei in car charger, or a CHEAP chinese/taiwan one. The big-brand ones, like Belkin, are aimed at iPhones, and are non-compliant with the USB charging standard.

It's true that the One X will charge at a lower rate when it overheats (and hence discharge if the screen is on with Google Nav running). Dim the screen, or turn it off and rely on the voice instead.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Dunno why here people above assume that we use some bad charger. Or "we hold the phone wrong" sorry but as said I use a 2A charger from htc. As it's with 2 USB ports maybe an Y cable would do the trick?

I for sure won't change the one x settings...
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
Not sure what do u mean ?? What did I lie about?
[HTC One X] akaivan:
Same thing happens to me. I needed to turn off my phone to charge before I get my XL
[HTC One X] mrminimum:
Could u please tell me the feeling of using one XL compared with one x :D
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
There are two problems:

1) you need a charger with shorted data PINs. HOX will be able to use up to 1A from that.

2) when navigating, HOX overheats and stops charging.

Is your HOX blinking green-orange when navigating for an hour?
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Care to explain because this is exactly how it is for me too.

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Ive got a Belkin charger and it said 1 Amp but it was in fact only drawing 500ma (usb mode). I took it apart and shorted the data pins (middle 2 if i remember) and then it was fine (AC mode).

Ive just done over 300 mile this weekend just gone and it charged just fine. This was with Co-Pilot Live, Bluetooth and Auto brightness. The only time it stopped charging was when it got too hot.

When it is on charge go into Settings/ Power and see what it says. If it says Charging (usb) it will be charging at 500ma max. This is down to the data pins not been in the charger
[HTC One X] Horrox101:
Out of interest does charging it slow the natural discharge rate or does it just refuse to charge when it's using more power than it can get from the charger?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
it just discharges slower, unless its overheating, at which point it refuses a charge until cooled down.
[HTC One X] akaivan:
Obviously, I don't really notice major difference between both phones in terms of performance. However, XL's battery is like 30-40% more lasting then X.
[HTC One X] akaivan:
However, there are less choices on ROM for XL... And for people in Hongkong like me, or other areas. Some of the ROMs just not working...
[HTC One X] akaivan:
Oh forgot one point, LTE is not so well developed in HK. I have to turn off LTE and use 3G, so it doesn't keep switching networks, which is a major battery drain.
[HTC One X] Kubino77:
to: Dave Trouser and cjm1979

Now thats an interesting information, something you wont find on eshop item description... different charging behavior for iOS/android devices.

Thanks for the tip on D pins.

Also whats your experience with USB cable length/brand? I found out, that 2m cable cant deliver "full power" when using HTC wall charger, I get only like 400 mAh, while 1m cabel delivers 700 mAh. I guess same applies on car charging, or not?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Well as said mine is also 2A charger from HTC. And now I checked what it says "AC charging" so I do not need to shorten anything in cables etc.

And what it did was nice red light. BUT after the drive 2 hours, battery was down few percent. So the charge wasn't enough, but I didn't get the message that it cant charge fast enough (that one I got only once before). And besides the GPS nothing else was running. And it was night so I believe the screen with Auto Brightness was also not bright as it can get.

I want to try to Y cable, but before I do. Can someone advise against it? Meaning I can actually damage the One using an Y cable?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
i've always known that its the voltage and not the amps that ruin electronics. the question is whether the y cable will allow more than 5 volts to reach the device, if it does, then it would likely break it/set on fire/explode etc

plus, this is quite normal for gps alone to use more than can be provided by a charger, so it will go down when charging, its just making it go down a lot slower - even if the y cable thing worked, and didn't break the phone, then the hox STILL wouldn't accept any more amps than it did before

Also: the car itself may not have enough power going to the cigarette lighter socket, therefore not providing as much charge as it potentially could. all cars would vary slightly.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Current, not voltage kills people.

Voltage can lead to some kind of electron migration, apparently, but I suspect heat or energy dissapation is really what kills chips. It's a combination of factors. The resistance and capacitance of a device will limit current, increased voltage will increase the current, resulting in more heat.

A cigarette lighter on a car is typically connected to a 20A fuse, that's at 12V. The charger will hopefully have a 5V regulator and a 2A (guessing) fuse. Drawing more current will blow the fuse, although it's not impossible (although highly unlikely) that the voltage regulator is current limited.

These are really basic devices, you really are lucky if there is even any insulation after the fuse inside the charger to prevent it from shorting internally. You can build your own for pennies.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
It will not help. Phone wil not draw more than 1A.

But I doubt your phone needs more than 1A - I think it just overheats and stops charging (and it doesn't run from charger in that case - it just discharges)
[HTC One X] waz675:
Download battery widget from playstore and set history to 60 seconds to see what the phone is actually drawing or charging in mA any one minute.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
@ overheat .nope. Had that before. That red green blinking. This is not the case.

@ draws. How do I know it draws 1 from the one?

Will do that.

Someone also said if my car socket gives enough. Yup it does before I charged 3 devices from it. Had a forked charger with 2 sockets and 2 USB.
[HTC One X] siaosi:
I had the same problem, drove 3 hours to Bristol having GPS on and by the time I got there the battery was down to 20%. On the way back I had to turn the screen off and rely on the voice commands.

Now I purchased a 2.1A charger and tried it. It still munches more than it receives, although at a lower rate than before.

I did email HTC asking about this and if a 2.1A would damage the battery in any way. Their reply was to direct me to their official HTC accessory store online. They said that if it wasn't there then they wouldn't recommend it. Their website showed the 1A charger only.

I've since asked them if they have a solution for this, if there is a fix or something. When I get a reply (I expect a big NO!) I'll post it here.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Okay I am not sure I am relevant here and I do not know nothing about electricity so please do not attack me.

1. I used the charger on an empty 20% battery device . Drive home takes me around 1:20 hours. I got the red/green blinking and a message that its not able to charge the device etc. Was down around to 5-7% when I arrived

2. I used the charger on 80% battery and I did not get the red/green but the battery was about 60% when I arrived.

3. I used the charger on a 100% battery AND this time it stayed FULL!

Can it be that the ppl here claiming its charging for them had actually the 3. full battery case. And it has nothing to do with the charger?

same charger, same GPS program, same version etc
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
A bigger question is why some are having an issue and others not. Assuming we're all on the same ROM it's either what's running on individual phones, a h/w issue specific to an individual phone, or the adapter being used. I’m inclined to go with the latter. Just because an adapter says "2A" on the label doesn't mean it's outputting 2A consistently. I got a Bondit car dock and ordered a slim line adapter. It keeps my phone charging faster than the nav apps deplete it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X71HXU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

So, at least on my phone, I can confirm this and the Samsung charger I posted earlier both keep the phone from draining while navigating.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
As I said it was able to charge my phone as well. BUT it was full battery. So I had the green light all the way. Can it be you had your phone charged and not almost dead before use in car as GPS?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I typically use nav while in rental cars. My phone's usually below 50% at the time I start navigating. On a recent five hour drive the phone actually got to 100% while I was navigating so it was getting much more current than it was using. I also use A2DP and Vlingo InCar in the background.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Btw how can you be sure that long time exposure to a charger like this wont damage the battery in the long run?

Again no electrician here.

I mean I would buy it and test it. But not sure I would use it much.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The phone will charge the battery as required. The phone (or battery) has current limiting circuitry, don't worry.
[HTC One X] jayeshrc:
i also have a feeling that the phone stops charging when overheating. mine charged for 5 min on the car charger, then stopped and when i picked it up it was warm..
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The notification LEDs light up like a Christmas tree when overheating. And will stop charging, yes.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Okay, but using a Y cable will break it why?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I haven't been following the y cable discussions. Care to explain?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Okay I have a htc charger with 2 USB ports. It's a 2A charger, but I believe I read it's 1A per port.

So I was thinking using an Y cable like you do on HDD when it's not getting enough juice. On the phone.

But someone said if it gets more voltage I am screwed maybe.

Now you said current is fine. Voltage is bad. But how can an HDD live through that but a phone this could kill? I mean for phone higher current fine you said. HDD everything fine current/voltage?

EDIT: I think the "someone" was actually you :D
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Oh. I see. Don't do that ;)

Let me check something... I'll come back to you.
