[HTC One S] Doggydude:
I have seen one other thread about this and numerous posts, but it never seems to get answered definitivly.

Ever since I first got the phone, sometimes the data will just get stuck uploading. The 4g or 3g symbols arrow will stay on and whatever task will not move because it is not recieving a response, the only fix is to toggle data or airplane mode. The issue seems to follow me to different froms, from leedroid to trickdroid to cm10 even, I have tried the european radio and the us tmob radio to no avail. Also I have full wiped between all the roms, so that is not the problem.

Other people have experienced the same problem, I am wondering if it is because of the phone hardware, or the radio

Maybe I just need to get a new phone from Tmobile, hopefully I wont get an S3 back though
[HTC One S] donut213:
hi,

i have the exact same problem, stock s4 on 4.0.4..could you fix it?
[HTC One S] donut213:
Or anyone else, please?

It looks like a Samsung dock knock off.

Anyone wanna pull the plug on this one? For $11.99 it seems good for the price not to mention it has audio out port.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polo2503:
looks really good, can it be pulled in landscape mode ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RRuszczyk:
Rooted using Team Epic's method running the stock rom. I have Titanium Backup as well as Voodoo OTA RootKeeper installed. I have a couple of questions regarding post-rooting updates

If I freeze the AT&T Software Update V3_1205_2_2, will it prevent the OTA updates?

If not, how do I prevent the OTA update from downloading or from bricking my phone?

If I temp unroot it with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and then update, will my root still exist?

What are the methods to update the stock ROM if I am rooted?

Thank you for help in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I believe freezing AT&T Software Update will prevent OTA updates.

I heard a report that OTA Rootkeeper did preserve root for the LG1 OTA update, but I don't know exactly what you have to do to make that work. I don't think you have to temp unroot first.

Here are the methods to update the stock ROM now that you're rooted:

Use OTA Rootkeeper and accept the OTA.

Flash a complete root-injected UCALG1 ROM through Odin.

Flash the CWM-flashable OTA update through your CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
I have the opportunity to do just that. I know the One X has much better hardware, but I love having a pure Android phone, and I love the perfectly stable roms and kernels we have. I know the One X will have AOSP/CM/AOKP roms etc, but they're likely to be buggy. At the same time the hardware is more future-proof than the GNexus'.

I'm really on the fence about this one and would like to hear other opinions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
I had the international one x and it was a sweet device. But I am a Samsung fanboy. It is all up to you but the one x quadcore felt no faster than the gnexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
Yeah, I'm reading that s-off hasn't been achieved yet, so kernels can only be flashed through fastboot on a dev unlocked device. I love being able to flash kernels on the go.

Think I'll stick with my GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Not a chance. Sense is horrible until they improve it, and I know I can install custom rom on it, still. I find unlocking and rooting HTC phones to be a pain, I don't want to mess with S-On/Off and HBoot versions, regardless of the argument rooting HTC phones let you learn more about Android, its so much easier with Nexus and Samsung devices.

I do think Samsung and Apple are too big players and there should be more room for competition, but HTC can do better in my book, no SD card and non-removable battery was a bad idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyrellcorpnexus:
I don't Iike the beats branding on one x and it feels huge compared to my nexus

Main advantages are lte if your area has it and that screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
The hardware keys kill that phone for me. I like it otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Let me make this simple:

You want smoothness = Nexus

You want best hardware right now = One X

You want best design = One X

You want best camera = One X

You are a hacker/developer who roots and stuff = Nexus

You want a better display = One X

You want pure Android = Nexus

You want your phone stable = Nexus

You want awesome up to date updates = Nexus

Just check off all the things that you want, and the phone with most features that you want is yours :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
I got rid of the One X for the Nexus last week and the only thing i miss is the display. With JB its faster and just plain better than the One X. I can do everythong buttery smooth. Dont see what advantage 4x ckres can offer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
hell no!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakeesh_j:
Before the gnex I owned nothing but HTC phones. After owning the Evo 3D, I am completely done with HTC.

HTC promised ICS for the evo 3d, and on the sprint one they have yet to deliver. Even for the GSM one, it took forever for it to come out. And not to mention the horrible driver support; in spite of the popularity of the Evo 3D, its development sucked because it was too proprietary for any developers to figure it out.

You'll probably never see key lime come out for the One X, whereas 99% chance it will be available for the gnex. You'll probably never see CM, MIUI, or AOKP come out for the One X either; at least, not a fully functioning release anyways. Once HTC wipes their hands of it, that's it, it's dead, unlike other phones (e.g. samsung) that tend to receive updates for the long haul.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
Still unsure, looks like there are fully working AOSP roms for the One X with only very minor issues. Better screen + processor + camera vs Nexus software
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vashishtuday:
I still think that using hardware buttons will be a let down, have ordered a Genex simply cause I think on screen buttons are cool and 349$ is a deal

Stick with Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cattom2000:
Guys on xda mostly want pure android and awesome updates, so the choice is obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Paul:
I have both. JB is great and much faster than the one x with sense. BUT, sense has a number of features that are missing on JB, such as clicking on a link in the location field in calendar to open maps, T9 dialling, tasks and so on. Sense in really very complete, but slow and sometimes buggy. This may well get fixed with updates though and the camera and screen are much better than the nexus. As is the build quality.

Despite the downsides, the nexus is my favourate phone. It just feels better and I like being able to change the battery. If I had to have just one phone, it will be the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
I asked myself this question about 3 weeks ago, and I'm glad I chose yes.

Haven't looked back, "better hardware" is a mild way to put it.

My HOX beats my gfs Gnex in every way possible. The hardware is superior, and the battery life is incredible.

I should note that the only HOX worth getting is the S4 variant, as the Tegra 3 one has a bunch of issues and poor battery life compared to the S4.

From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
It's the T3 version since I'm in the UK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
I sold my one x for a nexus last week. Cameras are comparable and according to comparison reviews the Nexus cam is actually better. Type one x vs nexus camera on google forgotten which site did it. The only thing noticeably better on the X is the screen and that doesnt make the Nexus' bad i just prefer lcd and the one x's screen is exceptional. I had Tegra version too. You wont do anything bar maybe gaming that will make you miss the One X. One small thing too, the Nexus is a tad narrower and even my big hands prefer holding it to the One X its less of a stretch to grasp it one handed
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] clark44:
Hey everyone. Sorry but i don't know bootanimations.

Anyone mind porting this Sonic boot animation for our screens? Thank you in advance.

PM me if i don't reply the thread once its done :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] clark44:
Bump... I need this done please!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zmore:
I just looked at it. It's very low resolution (270x480). Would look like crap when scaled up to 720p (720x1280). Also, your zip was in the form of a clockworkmod script, which won't work across all devices (and roms) due to the way samsung changed the bootanimation stuff.

But, FWIW, I "ported" just the bootanimation.zip to 720x1280, and fixed the infinite bootloop bug for the S3 by restricting the last part to 8 loops (~4 seconds):

sega_sonic_720x1280_bootanimation.zip

I converted the mp3 to ogg and put it in /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg which is the name samsung's /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay looks for, but, it plays AFTER the bootanimation finishes, so that's pointless. Here's the file anyway:

sega_sonic_PowerOn.ogg

Worked fine here, but it's not my thing. :)
[Android Apps and Games] meltedxice:
Hi fellow xda-developers,

I am happy to announce my first Android app, InstaWifi. InstaWifi is a new and fun way to connect and share your wifi networks with your friends and family.

I built this with NFC and QR code support. Simply tap on a NFC sticker or scan a QR code to connect to a wifi network instantly. Android Beam is also supported so you can skip the whole NFC sticker part.

Download the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jessechen.instawifi

For more details, screenshots, and tutorials, check out my website: http://www.instawifi.jessechen.net/

[YOUTUBE]0PChSvKGIo8[/YOUTUBE]​

Looking forward to any feedback or comments you guys have. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] NewKlNGjames:
Looks great can't wait to try it out
[Android Apps and Games] meltedxice:
Thanks, let me know how it goes!
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:
Indeed looking great :)

Am I right someone WITHOUT root can use this to connect with current WiFi?

I suppose so..

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] acejavelin:
Two questions...

1) Does the other person need to have the app as well, or will just any QR scanner app on any Android device work with this?

2) You can probably guess where that question will lead next, if someone has an (ugh!) iPhone or iPad with a QR scanner app, will it be able to automatically connect as well?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AzNTypeR:
Loving the concept of the app, and it Works!
[Android Apps and Games] meltedxice:
Yes, root is ONLY used to pre-populate the security type and passwords so that you don't have to manually type it in yourself. It is not required at all in order for it to work otherwise.

1) The other person needs to have the Barcode Scanner app installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android). It's the most popular barcode scanner app out there with ~50,000,000 downloads, so most people should have it already.

2) iOS devices can't automatically connect unfortunately due to the limitations of apple's platform (apps cannot control/manipulate wifi). If that ever changes you know I'll be there to write an app that can do it!
[Android Apps and Games] RoFu25:
Tested this with my Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100).

But I can't connect to my Wifi via QR-Code. Is there a (known) issue with hidden SSIDs maybe?

The Wifi Settings of the phone tell me the Wifi is "not in range".

I'm on CM10 with Siyah Kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] 15israellai:
An excellent app.

An extremely minor suggestion: not use a square icon but one with a "distinctive silhouette".

Can totally be ignored though

Blazing on my Nexus Prime
[Android Apps and Games] meltedxice:
I believe hidden SSIDs have an issue with this. I'll try to see if that can be fixed in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that thought in mind.
[Android Apps and Games] 15israellai:
Didn't expect anyone to care.

Looking forward to how you can improve the already excellent app and concept!

[Android Apps and Games] He4dShOt:
Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus with CM10 and InstaWifi is no longer populating the password field.

[Android Apps and Games] memine:
As I don't have NFC can the QR code be saved so it can be opened in gallery later, rather than having to launch InstaWiFi again?

You might also want to add cancel to the popup that asks to connect to WiFi. I opened in error and had to turn on WiFi before I could exit out of InstaWiFi.

Just my .02 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] Imranhakro:
Nice Idea, but Useless...

Its a nice idea though. But its a useless and impractical idea.

I think verbally spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier, time saving and hassle free because everyone has at least mouth & ears to communicate password.

Everyone doesn't have that app,

Everyone doesn't have Android,

Everyone doesn't have QR code reader/Barcode reader,

Everyone doesn't have NFC or beam

and to avoid all the hussles and frustration of not getting it through.... just communicate the password verbally... It just takes a moment to say a password rather than bieng in this hassle :D
[Android Apps and Games] AngSanley:
let me correct your grammar (or typo?):

Not everyone have that app,

Not everyone have Android,

Not everyone have QR code reader/Barcode reader,

Not everyone have NFC or beam

Let me answer some of your questions:

- "Not everyone have Android." are u kidding me dude? You are here, the Android community! other OS are not talked here, they talked in other section!

- "Not everyone have QR code reader/Barcode reader," Yeah, you can always download it from Play Store

- "spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier." How do u can spell if the password is XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#11@$
[Android Apps and Games] Rajnus:
Nobody answered pretty straight forward question. Does the receiver needs to have the InstaWifi app?

If yes, petty because it is easier to pass the password old fashion way.

If not, great app, especially for bars or public places...
[Android Apps and Games] f.us:
Short answer: no.

According to the xda video on InstaWifi the recipient/receiver just needs to scan the QR-Code or a NFC capable smartphone.

Edit:

Apparently it is not as a simple/short answer as a 'no'. Sorry, my bad. The OP explained it in the post below.

Thx for the clarification.
[Android Apps and Games] meltedxice:
Yeah, I understand that this can be a bit confusing. I'll try to break it down as simple as I can:

NFC:

1) Receiver must have the app installed, Android does not have native support to connect to a wifi network instantly, an app (which in this case, InstaWifi) needs to handle the incoming NFC data and connect to wifi for you.

2) If the receiver does not have the app installed, tapping the NFC sticker automatically takes you to the play store to download InstaWifi. Once it's downloaded, tap the sticker again and you should be good to go (hopefully less than 20 seconds for the whole ordeal, which can still be faster than typing out a super long password).

QR:

1) Receiver does not have to have InstaWifi installed. Reciever needs to have the Barcode Scanner app installed for it to work.

Hope that clarifies some things.
[Android Apps and Games] maxshah912:
kool concept Loving app :P

But what if someone wants to use wifi and already at your house and has neither Data plan or QR reader or this app lol
[Android Apps and Games] Imranhakro:
Thanks for the grammar correction bro...:cool:

Now let me get back to your replies:

"are u kidding me dude? You are here, the Android community! other OS are not talked here, they talked in other section!":

Agreed.... But I meant to say that everyone visiting my place and asking for wifi password do not need to belong to Android community. do u understand that now?

"Not everyone have QR code reader/Barcode reader," Yeah, you can always download it from Play Store:

Let me put it this way....

Friend: whats your wifi password?

Me: you can scan the QR code for that dear.

Friend: but i dont have the QR Code reader :confused:

Me: Oh! AngSanley said you can always download it from Play store :angel:

Friend: But how can i download it from the Play store unless you don't tell me the password to connect to internet through wifi?:confused:

Me: Thats not my business :laugh: :cowboy:\

"spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier." How do u can spell if the password is XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#11@$:

Friend: Ok F**k it, just spell out your wifi password.

Me: XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#11@$

Friend: Whaatttttt?????????? who keeps such complicated passwords?

Me: The ones who are fond of using Instawifi app anyway :)

Friend: Get a life dude! You are complicated...

Me: :o
[Android Apps and Games] Rajnus:
1) I have tried that with NFC transfer and it pointed me to play store. For sure it is 10sec but if somebody has a data connection it is not likely that he or she will need wifi. Most of the people have 1GB or more per month.

2) This is OK, 'cause most of the people have bar code scanner.

I have never ever encounter such long and complicated passwords. I am talking about public places, most of them are 123456..., or name of the place or something similar. My use case is when I go abroad for some football game and all of us are looking for free wifi, in this way sharing will be pretty easy because I do not write down passwords of public places.

Petty for NFC but maybe google will implement native support. Overall it is a good idea :good:

P.S. just crossed my mind...is it possible to send maybe lighter version of app via NFC transfer between two mobile phones to be installed to handle that and all future incoming NFC messages? To send app and message as some kind of package... By lighter version I meant much smaller app which can only handle NFC data, pure code, no GUI....then up on connection maybe to point to store to install full version...
[Android Apps and Games] Natzer.HD2:
Good idea, but if a network uses MAC-filters, the app might be a kind of useless :D

it helps to share the password of a network, but to load the app ur friend download the app first.. write down the password is much easier for me so i can throw the ****n password to a friends head =) more funny than the app :cool:

Can someone please provide an APK? Because this app isn't available in my country :s

I was trying to restore my phone to previous state using Rom Manager. Phone restarted in recovery mode, formatted the boot partition and failed to restore. I applied existing of CWM ROM update.zip and snce then my phone restarts in Recovery mode everytime.

I tried one click restore using ODIN, Heimdall nothing worked. recreated the partitions wiped everything, loaded stock ROM but still the phone boots up in recovery mode.

Please suggest some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irfarf:
do you mean the one click for installing stock rom or something else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammyazel:
I had the same problem a few days ago couldn't figure it Out. searched and searched for the right image

Files for my Nexsus S. I ended up wiping everything and flashed all the image files with TRWP cause CWR wouldn't work

for the stock ICS and and it worked fine. Now I'm running the 4.1.1 jellybean it sweet.Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachsun.v:
Yes the one click package for installing Stock ROM. it did repartitioning, wiped all data, loaded everything successfully. but after booting it shows up the recovery screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irfarf:
Hmmm... i've heard of cases where the power button on the captivate refuses to be 'unpressed' which makes it boots up just by plugging in the battery,

Maybe it's like that with your volume buttons?

Does it feels a little bit weird like it doesn't click when you press it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachsun.v:
Thats a good point...

The buttons seem to be normal. I tried keytest and the results look fine

Volume Up : 115

Volume Down : 114

Power : 116

Menu : 139

Home : 102

Search : 217

Back : 158

Moreover I can access recovery and flash any ROM that I have on SDCard. Funny part whenever I flash a new ROM I see a new recovery :)

Do you know of anyway use ADB without booting phone and putting it in debugging mode?

Thanks for your inputs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachsun.v:
Update: Issue is resolved :)

I'm not sure on exactly what worked. Using System Corps Recovery, I changed all the partitions to ext4. Made some random changes to toggles during boot. Restarted in download mode and flashed a one click stock rom from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

it booted in recovery, then clicked on Flash Bootloader in one click and restarted the phone in download mode and flashed it again with the same ROM.

Thats it. I feel that Bootloader did the trick, but I had it flashed earlier as well.

Thanks irfarf & Sammyazel for your inputs on this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irfarf:
congrats!!

i do also think that it was the boot loader is the problem here

i had a few problem with my friends cappy won't go into download mode and whenever it boots up, it shows a bunch of random colors than a boot image. turns out that the last bootloader flash wasn't done correctly or something.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverchairbg:
Confirmed - the problem is with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachsun.v:
Try running the keytest from recovery mode to ensure all the keys are working fine.

In my case it was corrupt bootloader that caused this issue. you can try flashing stock ROM with bootloaders to fix it.

You can find Odin KK4 with bootloaders here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

You will need to flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 afterwards if you wanna flash a custom ROM.
