[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IbanMaru:
I tried this but it did not work... I flashed the xxjw4 CF Root file over stock Eclair by mistake, is the stock Eclair still there and can it be considered a soft-brick? If so I would like to know which firmware I can flash to fix this. Is xxjw4 an option or must I flash XXJVU first? (I have downloaded both firmwares and their respective CF Root files) Thanks in advance

Just find the Galaxy S drivers from somewhere, my computer does this sometimes, have u got windows 7 running on your PC? sometimes my laptop with windows 7 cant find my device, but my one with Windows Vista always manages to find it, try a different PC first. Once you found the device just flash a full stock version, like XXJVT for example, something with the pit., CODE, CSC and Modem file

Odin does not reformat /data and /cache and /dbdata back to rfs, so the kernel cannot mount it, hence the bootloop. Just do a factory reset from stock recovery and your good to go
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IbanMaru:
Okay thanks for the info... So because I am not able to do the three button fix do you recommend that I jig the phone, and flash the three button fix, after that enter recovery and do a wipe? No need to flash the new firmware? (Which I do plan to do but only after I can get the phone up and running again with the jig)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
If you can't find the resistors, you can buy the jig off ebay for about 2 quid. I know it's expensive for a 1p resistor and a 1p case but how much is your phone worth to you ;)

The jig will definitely sort it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IbanMaru:
True. I am able to make one though as it's simple enough. The question is what do I do once I get into download mode? Three-button fix or the new firmware? Would XXJW4 be good or should I get the XXJVU firmware instead?? Don't want to make another NoOb mistake. I am pretty much golden when dealing with the Motorola stuff!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MIKEMON:
Odin must flash over stock rom / pda, phone, csc / pit with 512 and re-partition, preferably back to your stock 2.3.4 region.potom cf root-root kernel version of your firmware., Semaphore kernel and stock rom jw4 , 5.6 ..

it helped me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Flash something safe like XXJVU. Do a full flash too. PIT, CSC, PHONE AND PDA. You'll be fine ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vac79:
Hi,

I recently bought Galaxy Nexus, it came with ICS 4.0.4 and worked fine after I put my SIM cards into it. After some while it popped up new software available and I went ahead with it (OTA). It got upgraded to Jelly bean (4.1.1) but my Mobile network stopped working, it no network available. I tried manually selecting the network but in vain. I see IMEI number but Mobile Network state is unknown.

Also kernel version shown is 3.0.31-g6fb96c9 andriod-build@vpbs1)#1SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun28 11:02:39 PDT and build number is JR003C.

What could have gone wrong here? I use GSM network (2G).

If I have to root the device can I use install JB again or I have to back to ICS?

Thanks

Vishal

Well seems like there's still hope for HTC, according to CNET. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57482049-94/why-its-not-doom-and-gloom-for-htc-yet/

And look at this: "According to a survey taken by Sanford Bernstein, 42 percent of HTC customers select the brand for the quality and intuitiveness of its user experience, vs. 32 percent for Samsung, an indication of positive awareness of HTC's differentiated software."

Sense is a STRONG selling point for HTC. So anyone who's been claiming that HTC will sell more if they get stock may be wrong.

But in the meantime http://www.zdnet.com/htc-bites-the-bullet-closes-south-korean-office-7000001779/

What do you guys think about HTC and their current woes? No need to be defensive. Just want to discuss and want people to voice their opinions in case some HTC employees lurk around and see this lol
[Android General] BarryH_GEG:
"In comparison, Korean vendors including Samsung, LG and Pantech have secured 90 percent of the market."

Why would they stay in a market where the home town teams control 90% of it? They also closed Brazil because the market for high-end phones their is weak. They got $150MM in cash by selling 1/2 their Beats investment back. These are signs of a company trying to re-focus its efforts. It's better to do fewer things well than 100 things marginally; especially when you're small(er). Like CNet said, there's room for a number three and it could easily be HTC if they get their act together.
[Android General] hamdir:
Ok i just want to say one thing

HTC is no near as small or as weak financially as these stupid stupid tech articles make it sound

you really think they can afford combating with APPLE on a legal level if they were as tiny as everyone would like to believe?

or do you think they can afford so many innovations in the One Series like the ImageSense chip and the best screen on mobile device out there, if they were falling apart?

anyway if indeed google was blown away with the One X and the next Nexus will be an HTC, problems solved :)
[Android General] theDroidfanatic:
Just like the first nexus ;) history does repeat itself...
[Android General] hamdir:
i don't know if you meant positive or negative

the nexus one did indeed give HTC a major turbo boost

if you meant it bad well yes i actually don't understand what google found in samsung's build quality, my guess is cheaper cost or "volume"

we still don't know if the next nexus is HTC, with samsung selling like hotcakes, i don't know but we google approached them regarding the Nexus 7 and they refused to make a low cost tablet
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
I just wish that rumour about multiple Nexus devices is true. I want a Nexus phone but I dont want to get anything Samsung. -.-
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
And HTC srlsy needs to pull their sh** together w the QC and customer service. I look through all the threads about issues and I wonder why I still am attached to this company.
[Android General] hamdir:
QC issues where there because HTC rushed the One X early, now they are mostly gone
[Android General] audioslim:
HTC's one x launch was pretty much a complete train wreck.

This board and others were/still are littered with many many threads about 'problems'... This forum still is.

I love my OneX as I did my HD2 but from my point of view HTC need to get a grip as their were far too many problems at launch.

Nope I'm not about to jump ship to Samsung but I would certainly not buy another (groundbreaking) HTC phone so soon after launch again.

Plus if this phone doesnt end up with some reasonable way of acheiving root access I'll never buy another HTC device again.

Slim
[Android General] hamdir:
S-Off is coming don't worry

and i agree never buy a flagship on launch

but this is not related to HTC only mate

Barry shipped me an N7 to Lebanon and it was a one way ticket for me, i was holding my breath all this time, because the QC issues of the N7 a Google product, are actually double times the One X launch issues

go check the Nexus 7 boards and while at it go check the sg3 boards, you will forgive HTC a little better :)

The Xperia S had its share too

QC issues are disturbing and relates to all these devices nowadays, especially screen glue problems, think it has to do with the high volume and increasingly aggressive competition, has nothing to do with brands

i choose htc because unlocking is easy

[Android General] audioslim:
All true i although just had a blind faith in htc wrongly. Still love my hox and dont have any issues now except ropey WiFi signal but on the qa side htc need to improve
[Android General] Laurentius26:
I just want to say I'm a huge fan of HTC for years (they never let me down before, they have very good service!)

and I do love my HTC One X. :laugh::good:

No scratches, wifi problems, camera, battery, headphone problems, screen leak problems, orrrrrr.... 'whatever', my HTC One X rocks! :cool:

The small issues with software (multitasking, 3 dots, battery overheating) reported do not bother me at all, they are small and will be fixed with future updates.

Yesssss... I'm probably one of the 'very rare' lucky guys I know but I realy am. :victory:

I'm realy looking forward to Jelly Bean, it will have issues as well I'm sure about that but that's why we have HTC and XDA-Developers.

It will get fixed and updated. :cowboy:
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
HTC doesnt manufacturer those screens. I think they are just kinda similar to Apple in the sense that they basically just assemble phones from components supplied by other companies. The only things HTC can take pride in are Sense and the design.
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
It's very likely Google will release multiple Nexus devices because in that case they will be able to let Motorola make Nexus phones w/out looking like they're being biased. But if it's only one version it's very likely that Samsung will get it again since Samsung is a major supplier of many components for smartphone. Imagine the Nexus phones uses the Snapdragon s4 processor and Qualcomm cant meet supply it's gonna be a mess.
[Android General] hamdir:
well they can pride themselves for customizing such an amazing amazing screen

nothing matches this screen
[Android General] tkolev:
Google cares only for numbers. They don't care who will make the device as long as it's cheap and sells. Why did they went for the lower 7" tablet market? Because they can sell more units than 350$ 10" version. And in their case more units = more people for targeted ads. Though I admit I like the idea of having Motorola's Nexus (Motorola is maybe the only OEM that can match HTC in terms of build quality), I have the feeling that Google will get rid of Motorola long before that. The other part of the nexus story is marketing. And no Android OEM can match Samsung in that department. Many people still believe amoleds are superior to lcds. Like Apple made them believe that they invented smartphones, tablets, videocalling, touchscreen phones, etc. A lie that's repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. So at the end of the day if you want to have a cheap mediocre device with good marketing to make people believe it's great, the only OEM you can turn to is Samsung. Galaxy Nexus is the pure example of that. It has mediocre CPU, a pentile screen with messed up colors that looks like s#it, but it sells. Why? Because it's cheap and people believe Samsung can make good phones.
[Android General] hamdir:
well said, thank you!
[Android General] f4flake:
Is this thread sponsored by HTC?

I recently filled in a satisfaction survey and now they've tried to call me twice in two days.

Perhaps it was my mention of their illegal warranty policy?

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Oh, it could have also been the mention of their CEO's lies regarding opening up their phones.
[Android General] tkolev:
Take off your tin foil hat and answer the phone. Then you'll KNOW why they are calling you instead of making wild guesses on a thread clearly sponsored by HTC, the government and the Switzerland's navy.
[Android General] f4flake:
That's funny. Of course I'll answer the phone, but obviously I've been busy.

As for the suggestion of sponsorship, clearly the thread was started with an article which paints HTC in a very good light compared to their competition. It seems almost designed to make people feel better about the brand, which is of course part of a "brand".

Add to it that the thread has been started by someone very recently joined and HTC's clear drive to salvage their market share having delivered a product which is being eschewed in large numbers in favour of the (for me) less worthy SGIII, and my suspicions are aroused.

It's not like I'm suggesting something crazy like the mainstream media are stooges of our governments, forever manufacturing consent for their policies, at the expense of our freedom.... err....

[Android General] godutch:
To be honest when you see the first page of this forum you are confronted with many negative thread (wifi problem, assembly gap, bsod, scratches etc etc etc.), if 2 months ago I would have seen all this negativity I probably wouldn't have bought this phone and it but i reality the HTC One X is and it makes me worry when my HOX will start falling apart(sometimes beautifully designed phone with very capable hardware, not many faults and amazing software. It hurts me to see all that negativity, I can see a lot of love dedication in the HTC devices and I wish HTC would be more successful than they are now because they do deserve it
[Android General] tessut:
HTC maybe dont have good speakers or no perfect anttenas but people want a innovating Smartphone that suits All their own needs and that brings HTC to us we are Not choosing htc because of the Hardware we are choosing htc because htc Sees the needs of the customers like the look of the device or the very smart htc sensation screen that dont scratches so easly or Sense that is easly understandable and faster and better looking as touchwiz, motobur, the Android Vanilla launcher or all the other UI's out there....the truth about HTC is they are just getting started
[Android General] amacrobie:
No, but might sell more if they offered a vanilla ROM *as well as* a Sense ROM.
[Android General] godutch:
You might attract some buyers who after tilting their HOX in a medium dark environment see a yellow spot on their device and return it, and return the next one etc until they get a perfect one. Some groups of customers might give you some business but afterwards they give you so much headache you wished you didn't have them as customers. I don't sell phones but I do do business and have learned that having the favor of some customers costs me far more than I make on them. I do not need such customers, I much rather drink my espresso, and really here on XDA I see so many customers I could miss.....
[Android General] amacrobie:
Very true, I've returned my One X due to a camera fault (kept losing images) but otherwise it has been near flawless. The manufacturing quality really isn't as good as I'd hoped but it's more than acceptable in my case.

There does seem to be an extraordinary number of complaints about this device and while some are very much warranted, I suspect many are not and people are perceiving their device to be faulty simply because HTC accepted the return of a device from another user who had the same or a similar fault.
[Android General] yilmaz101:
My HOX is my fifth HTC. Began with a touch pro, then a diamond 2, hd2, sensation and now one x. I tend to buy 2 or 3 months after release and was very happy with HTC till this one. The phone itself is ok enough to be honest, not as good as a sg3 but close enough. For me though sense pushed it ahead and once again I went with HTC. The fact that we still haven't got 3g video call is quite annoying I'm willing to live with it. But the crap HTC has pulled twice on the customer, locked bootloadrs in sensation and one x, pretty much ensures that I most likely will NOT buy another HTC device. On the sensation the dev community came to the rescue, but this time around HTC have outdone even apple inlocking the lock and throwing out the key. Unless they rectify this soon, they can shove their next product up any orifice they like, cuz I'm not gonna give them any more of my hard earned cash.......
[Android General] The Janitor Mop:
There is so much wrong with this post I can't even believe it.

Samsung is one of the top Android OEMs and one of the most advanced tech companies out there. Samsung is the only company out there making good AMOLED displays, and while I agree that as of now LCD is still better, that's no surprise because AMOLED is a much younger technology. Give it a few more years and it will be very impressive. I mean, goodness, Samsung is trying to innovate and is set to produce flexible displays in a few years time. Samsung supplies the iPad display. Their upcoming Exynos will have Mali-T604, which is expected to blow all other GPUs out of the water. I've already seen benchmarks for S4 Pro with Adreno 320 (likely to be used on HTC devices), and while Adreno 320 is a good improvement over 225 (which is garbage), Mali-T604 should easily beat it. And Samsung makes Exynos itself. I won't even go on about the impressive stuff Samsung does.

I just can't stand fanboy posts like this. They are completely ignorant. And before you call me one of Samsung, I myself own an HTC and hope that HTC makes the next Nexus. I'm just level-headed enough to understand that that is just my preference and that for some people Samsung phones are better for them. Not blinding myself to the range of impressive technical achievements Samsung has, I can respect their phones. It's funny how hypocritical you are in implying that people who buy Apple or Samsung products are fanboys when you are clearly an HTC fanboy. HTCs have a lot of their own problems and I won't even go into the amount the Sensation has had (and clearly you guys have had your own fair share of problems, so be clear that this isn't just a one-time fluke from HTC). Rant over, I'll head back to my Sensation forums where ignorant posts dissing other OEMs died out long ago.
[Android General] Hunt3r.j2:
The One X only suffered problems because HTC did radically new designs this time around, they literally have never made a phone like this. The One S and V both use materials that HTC is used to working with, and judging by how those forums are basically silent in terms of defect reports in a forum where basically the vast majority go to talk about issues with a phone, I feel like the One X's successor will be much more trouble free.
[Android General] tkolev:
And yet you agree that AMOLEDs can't compare with the LCDs. I don't care if my display uses technology that will be better after few years. I want a display that produces realistic colors, that doesn't age on one color faster than the other two, that has as many pixels as it's supposed to, etc. You say that Samsung makes iPad displays yes, but it's an LCD. GPUs are good for one thing - benchmarks. If you think that there will be anything that will run bad on Tegra3 and buttery smooth on Exynos after two years when both will be old news, think again. The key is optimisation and while there are a number of Tegra optimized games, there are none for Samsung. With the coming of the Tegra gaming console this is not about to change.
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
I used to use this reason to excuse HTC for the problems on the HOX, but just because a company changes a new design it doesnt mean they're allowed to have such a high rate of defects (>30% just for XDA owners). Also, some of the issues on the HOX are software related. And the Sensation line was basically classic HTC phones and they reeked of hardware issues.
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
I sorta agree with you. A lot of people concede that SLCD2 is better than SAMOLED but still say the latter is better because it's a younger technology and in a few years they supposedly WILL be better. That's future tense. We're talking about something that you buy to use right now. In a few yrs SAMOLED will be better, but so will other display technologies. There's no point crowning SAMOLED king when the supposedly better version has not been out on the market yet.
[Android General] Laurentius26:
30%? Where do you have this number from?

You say 'just for XDA owner'. Do you think all HTC owners browse XDA?

* People who are happy with there machine won't complain as they have nothing to complain about.

* People who are unhappy will, and you see them the most on the board because they are not satisfied.

So, the '30%' you talk about doesn't say anything.
[Android General] atrako1973:
Real question that need to be asked is HTC commitment to their customers,when will the one series get jelly bean? As you already know HTC Has dropped the one v further software update buy not putting it on list getting jb , what will be the reason that HTC will give to stop there one x support when a new flagship is out ? I mean its quad core ,32 gb of Rom ,1gb of ram, it could easily ruin N d version future update
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
Im using the stat from the defect thread. Im pretty sure that a lot of people voted in that thread. And Im pretty sure to you a lot of customers didnt know about/ realized there's an issue even when the issue is in front of them. For example the Wifi antenna thing, some people would just assume that the wifi signal is weak etc. but because of a phone that they paid $500 for, or they just didnt know of the screen flex or screen banding issues.
[Android General] godutch:
Whether SAMOLED or LCD is better depends on your personal use, SAMOLED already is better for reading ebooks at night (if you switch to white on black, it uses very little power and because there is very little backlight it doesn't strain your eyes so much), it's better for playing games because the high contrast usually makes graphics look nicer and it's good for watching movies, also because of the contrasts (and because it uses less power than LCD because movies tend to be darker); LCD on the other hand is better for color reproduction, for browsing the web.

Oh and Android seems to be themed especially for AMOLED screens with lots of blacks, so the default Android theme looks much better on AMOLED than on LCD
[Android General] shadehh:
With this device it's going to be difficult getting an excuse. However, one thing i cam imagine is that they do blame it on ram. Probably next year's phone will have 2gb of ram (at least that's my guess).

If that's really how HTC functions then i believe ram is the only way they can talk themselves out since they can make it look outdated
[Android General] averygagaanroid:
I disagree w all of your points.

1) I do a lot of web browsing and >50% of web cotent doesnt have only black colours. so the obsession w "true black" is just beyond my understanding. And I hate blue tinted white w a passion.

2) I've played games on the s2 (birzzles and temple run) and I hate how the graphics look on SAMOLED. The high contrast strains your eyes more than the bright display of SCLD, at least that's how it happened for ALL of the people in my family except for the owner of the s2, my 10 yr old cousin. Regarding videos, isnt that the Note has problems w black in videos?

3) The point about stock is kinda useless because pretty much all major OEMs put their own skins on top of stock android. In the case of LG and HTC the skin has a bright colour tone and they look awesome.
