[HTC One S] bubi90:
I'll tell you briefly my experience

I bought an unbranded HTC One S online. When it arrived I was surprised to find that it was T-Mobile branded (european version). So I sent it back asking for a no brand one, which arrived 1 week later. When I turned it on (it was half-charged) I found this written:

"this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside htc with out htc write permission failure to comply my lead to legal action"

I checked the bootloader and found it was unlocked.

I think they sent me back my T-Mobile one unlocked with a stock rom.

1) How did they remove T-Mobile brand?

2) How can I see if my phone is rooted?

3) Can I receive OTA upgrade even if the bootloader is unlocked?

4) Is it possible to return to unbranded stock with locked bootloader and no root permissions (as an original unbranded phone)?

thanks
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
They prob rooted and debloated all the stuff on there removing all them apps many Roms have the option for this when installing them. To check if your rooted there is an app called root checker in app store download that. U can return to stock debloated by running ruu and u will have to get the tmobile ruu and specific country but it is de bloated and yea u can do the original HTC updates If your still on stock I don't know if u have to lock bootloader tho personally I think u should get custom Rom because a lot more customisation and Developers build their Roms around the latest HTC updates
[HTC One S] bubi90:
Why I can't run unbranded stock ruu?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
No such thing that's why don't worry I'm on T-Mobile and I've used their ruu twice I got it from football's thread and its still debloated shall I send u the link for th ruu's?
[HTC One S] bubi90:
No thanks I hate branded ruus :)

I prefer rooted stock rom

What does debloated mean?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Yes but nothing comes with the ruu lool its not bloated with any T-Mobile crap I've used it dude
[HTC One S] bubi90:
What is a debloated rom?

Sorry I'm a noob :)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Where u have options to remove loads of crap like the t mobile stuff HTC stocks Flickr etc
[HTC One S] bubi90:
OTA updates will arrive simultaneously to the stock ruu?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Yes
[HTC One S] bubi90:
Can you send me the link?

Thanks

http://allthingsd.com/20120720/google-claims-popularity-has-made-some-apple-patents-de-facto-essentials/

Commercially Essential as apposed to technically essential?

I agree to certain extent - the universal search, the data tapping. They are pretty much essential to modern OS's

Others, like slide to unlock, disappearing scroll bars are cosmetic and are in no way essential to the OS but create the differentiation that we need to keep software completion.

The other good point is raised by the first poster on the article: What about Google's search patents? They are so dominant in this market it could be considered that they are commercially essential.
[General Topics] _Variable:
Bump for FRAND licensing!
[General Topics] Android-Junky:
Lame argument by Google IMHO.
[General Topics] _Variable:
Second bump?
[General Topics] MSmithXDA:
Definitely agree with Google in this one.

My own opinion takes it a step further. I believe a patent should only be granted if it is highly innovative. A disappearing scroll bar is a good idea, but not something you get a patent for. It's a scroll bar, which has been around for ages, and you thought to hide it when it was not needed as to save space. That's a good idea...but it doesn't deserve a patent. Others should be able to use the same good idea without your permission, and they probably would have thought of it on their own had you not done it. On the other hand, a highly complex formula used for optimizing a 4G connection, and a formula that isn't obvious and/or the sole path to 4G usage...yeah, that's probably patent-able.

Apple's strategy is: Implement the obvious and patent it. That's not innovation, it's laziness, harmful to the industry, and it makes them the tech industry equivalent of slime balls.
[General Topics] thebobp:
When you come down to the specifics of the argument, I'd say google's right. There are de facto standards as well as established standards, and if one is denied anti-competitive enforcement due to detriment of the consumer, the other should be as well. After all, the patent system was never meant to force the consumer into a monopoly; quite the opposite, in fact.

That probably means, yes, google's search patents ought to be FRAND.

Now, where I hate this kind of argument is: maybe not, depending on how broad they are. A very specific search algorithm could be innovated around, just like a very specific (though, with Apple, I wouldn't count on this by a longshot) multi-touch algorithm could be worked around, so as to not necessarily fall under the argument above. But this is still unsatisfactory: just as judge Posner pointed out, this kind of interpretation imposes the cost of working around something, for little or no reason, to the detriment of the consumer. Therefore, the search patent ought to be FRAND, period.

Another reason why this argument isn't so satisfying: it's related, but only minutely, to obviousness. Some patents are so obvious that, yeah, they can be judged to be "commercially essential", but this does not necessarily solve all of them. And, even if this works, the solution would still be to force licensing of obvious patents at FRAND rates, which is still at best a rent, and at worst an injustice.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogbrandon:
Hello XDA Community,

I am having some issues while downgrading my DHD on 2.3.5 with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit.

I have read the effen-manual and checked everything. (USB Drivers, Antivirus, etc.)

Then I started the hack-ace.cmd as admin and started the downgrade process.

At this moment, it is just sitting at the "starting downgrade..." process.

This has been loading for 30 minutes now.

I just checked my phone and its still on the same software (2.3.5).

Here is a screenshot of the aahk:

i.imgur.com/UvhBj.png

I don't know what to do. Can I simply close the command prompt and restart everything? HELP PLEASE :confused:

UPDATE: I have closed the cmd and disconnect me phone. Everything seems to be fine expect for the sd card. The phone does not recognize it anymore. How can I fix this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO COMPLETE! You're not supposed to pull it out when its working its magic

P.S: I think you killed yout SD Card (try using an adapter to read it on your PC)

Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogbrandon:
Yep, the SD Card is most likely dead. I do have a backup though.

Well, how long does the downgrade process normally take?

As I said, I had it just sitting there for 30 minutes.

UPDATE: I managed to revive the sd by going through recovery.

So, can you tell me long it rougly takes for the downgrade to finish? I will try it on my linux partition this time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Anything from 10 mins to 1 hour (although 1 hour is exeptionally long)

It should work on your Linux partition :)

Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogbrandon:
Alright, thank you for your advice, buddy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogbrandon:
Okay, I am now at the part where it says:

** The phone will now reboot into HBOOT.

** It will then check the file just sent.

** If everything is okay, the phone will

** prompt you to continue by pressing

** VOLUME UP. It will reboot, flashing twice.

**** PUSH POWER WHEN THIS STEP COMPLETES ****

If downgrade is successful, you may set up the phone and try to hack it again.

Once the downgrade is successful, press a key to return to the menu......

Otherwise, cut and paste the output to the screen into a text file for evaluation.... then press a key.

However, I don't see any prompts asking me to push volume up. All I see is the hboot menu.

Looks like this: solo.dc3.com/forumimg/HBOOT.png

(Found on google images)

What am I supposed to do now?

:(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Just push volume up anyway and see what happens
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:

[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Hi all, I have found out that these 2 roms are amazing.

But I don't know which one of them to flash.

The most important thing for me is the battery life, So in which one of then I can get a better battery life?

And which one of them do you prefer? please explain why :)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Lol its me again I have always had leedroid amazing Rom its for performance and customisation if your looking for battery saver id say trickdroid both are really good roms but I am just loving leedroid amazing Rom
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Then, as you said :

For battery - trickdroid

for customisation - LeeDroid.

Ohh how many hours of screen time can you get with leedroid rom? :)
[HTC One S] torxx:
You won't find a ROM where you can more customize your phone than with TrickDroid (tweak package..)
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Ohh nice , Ok :)

and torxx, really, how many screen time can I get with your rom? (Tell me the max hours that you got)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Hea saying that because hes the developer of trickdroid lol leedroid has leedroid tweaks same thing ... Moderate use u get full day heavy extreme use 4hr after his lee update will be better
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
He will be saying a really good battery rate to get u on his Rom lol his Rom is good though as I said

Leedroid customisation and in new update adding an amazing sleep to wake feaure

Trickdroid battwy
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
I want to know one thing: Does it worth to root&boot&flash custom rom ?

Because all I want is to get a better battery life than the stock rom.

But I still don't know the answer to my question: Does other rom can give me 2x better battery life than the stock rom ?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
What's root boot flash lol its unlock flash root .. if u really want better battery go with trickdroid but limited customisation compared to leedroid and leedroid batt is good 2
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Haha I'm new at android :o

Maybe I will try both of the rom :P
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Just make sure u have zip files on the phone already before u run boot.IMG or u will get bootloop
[HTC One S] LalyGirl:
Ok thank for saying that! :D
[HTC One S] torxx:
No I am an objective guy and can you tell me if Lee offers a tweak package with more than 50 tweaks?

I support Lee and like his work but just wanted to correct this false statement
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Afraid nt thought ur Rom was only for battey saving may have to check it out but loving leedroid atm

Yes those are the GB Fastboot files, moto no longer uses the SBF type files. I have used them and I am sure many others.
[Motorola Droid 4] cellzealot:
The cdrom partition is not updated by the OTA ICS leaks, so flashing the cdrom partition from the .219 FXZ with fastboot should restore the signed image properly even on an ICS leaked build.
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
Yes, I know. I thought the same. But it is the mistake, cdrom doesn't flash over ICS, from 2.3.6 215 and from 2.3.6 219. Both are ending up with INFOpreflash validation failure.
[Galaxy S II General] geniassmchlachla:
Hi all,

I am running CM9 20120720 nightly on I19100. A few days ago when I was running CM9 RC1, I noticed thee was an extra Music app in the app drawer. So I decided to uninstall it (hold down on icon and drag to uninstall). Shortly afterwards, almost every app and service (eg., Browser, Dropbox, ES File Explorer, Superuser) started to randomly crash. So I tried rebooting, same problem. I cleared the cache, and dalvik cache, and fixed permissions in CWM, and this didn't help. So I tried flashing a new nightly, cleared cache etc... and that didn't work. Even flashing RC2 didn't help.

So basically the only thing I haven't tried is wiping data and starting from scratch. Obviously I would rather fix this than have to reinstall everything, so I have attached a couple of logcats. It looks like it has something to do with /data not being readable by apps, or something. They can't access their sqlite databases and apparently that makes everything crash.

I also checked from an adb shell, /data has 300MB of free space.

I just realized it sometimes can't connect to wifi.

I have no idea what is really going on here, so any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: OK I just had to resort to a full wipe. It is fixed for now

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] dwmackay:
Unless you have one custom made, it is probably going to be hard to come by.

Have you considered flipping the unit 180 degrees? You would have the cord headed toward your lap, but maybe that would be better?

you might also consider modifying the custom dock attachment to allow you to flip the device vertically as you move around. Kind of flip it out of the way and then pop it right back?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] ShyPod:
There is nothing for sale, but my advice would be to get someone with good soldering skills to modify that plug :)

Your device look's like a P1000, is it an old picture?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] MRBR7:
You will have to get your self a desktop dock and take it apart and unscrew the metal weight from it and remove that..

Then cut up the cover so the flexable 30 pin cable sticks out and can bend around.

Next step is to velcro it to the back of your tab and the female 30 pin connector is at back now so less chance

of knocking things off etc.

have done this to mine best thing i did to mod the dock.

will try to dig out a photo of it some time and add it to here so you can get an idea of what to do...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] dwmackay:
Excellent idea. If you can post the photo, I'll chop up one of my docks and send the result to carlo67 if he wants it.

Based on my finding with the screen burn-in issue, I will not be using either of my 2 docks.

Hey everyone

Just have a quick question for anyone who has done a RMA return. I shipped my tablet to Texas and it was received on Thursday morning. I check there system Thursday night to see if it was received but it was not. I then looked yesterday afternoon and a message pops up once you enter the correct info and it says "System can't find records of your inquiry". I was able to view that I requested a RMA and it was not received on Thursday but where did it go overnight?

Just wondering if this has happened to others and it is a issue with Asus computer systems. I called Saturday morning (which is a pain) and they advised it was checked in. Would really like to view the status online. They always have to make things difficult.

Thanks again
