[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 30footfall:
What exactly did they promise? They specifically do not promise any speed, ive looked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I agree with u op. Sprint speeds have gotten a lot worse for me as well. My phone is not usable unless I'm on wifi. Its ridiculous. BUT u did sign a contract and you had two weeks to try it out. Hope it works out for u.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
The attitude of well it sucks but i did sign a contact that specifically does NOT make any speed promised etc is exactly why we keep getting screwed.

Considering I'm paying $108 dollars a month, $10 of that being for "premium data", it should at least WORK. On my phone, its unusable off wi-fi. No joke, sites can take up to 2 and 3 minutes to load and that is IF it loads. Normally something times out.

That is a load of crap, hence why I'm currently forced roaming on Verizon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
If it is so bad that you cannot even use it, you need to call Sprint, and keep calling them until they either fix it or they let you out of your contract because they are not living up to their obligation to the contract. Coming on XDA and crying about it will get you nowhere. This is a development website, not a ***** fest site about the provider. Take this **** elsewhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
I'm going to stop this before it goes any further. Sorry your speeds aren't up to par (mine aren't either), but you will need to find another way than discussing here. Contracts are contracts, no way around it. Just call and call until you get the answer you want. This will turn out to be a war and we do not need that here as we have enough of that already.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost9685:
All,

When i had the stock ROM GB or ICS on my Xperia Arc S, the sound quality in the default music app was amazing..very clear Bass and a crip sound. However after unlocking the boot loader, rooting and flashing a custom ROM ( Ice cream pureness \ Acronium) the quality of the sound is just crappy. No bass effect at all. Even after installing the Incredible Bass Mod also the sound quality is not increased. Please help me if there are any ways to correct this. Or should i re lock the bootloader and go back to my Stock ROM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
U Should Reflash Rom Again ie.. Arconium. Rom & Then Flash Beats Audio Mod Latest Version & Flash Walkman Port With Beats By ThilinaC. For Ics...

[HTC One X] schnurzelat:
Hi,

i am pretty much annoyed (and it's getting worse every day) about not able to root my device, without voiding the warranty.

I had made a decision, that i will never ever buy a new device again, before there is solution for rooting.

How about you?

[HTC One X] joplayer:
I'm really annoyed by their policy. I'm a student, I don't have enough money to just use HTC Dev tools and say goodbye to the fact my expensive device is gonna last at least two years.

I was expectin of course that I could not use warranty for a software problem that is totally understandable but after everything I saw on the forum I'm really angry against HTC.

So that is clear for me. It's my last HTC phone.
[HTC One X] ewok666:
My device was unlocked and HTC in the UK replaced my screen under warranty. I re-locked, restored the stock recovery and ROM before sending it in.
[HTC One X] theliquid:
I won't buy a HTC phone again.

My next phone is a Nexus Series.
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
I decided to root because i was assured by HTC Chat that it did not void ALL warranty, only issues that could be caused by software (rooting), so if any major hardware faults developed, it SHOULD still be covered under warranty
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm not too fussed tbh, I'll wait for S-Off like a patient little boy.

HTC only allowed us to have S-Off through HTCDev because people were bugging them about it and they gave in.

They had to safeguard themselves against any backlash that might have come from N00bs bricking their devices and trying to claim for a new handset when it their own failures that fscked up their device anyway.

It's like Car Insurance, keep crashing your motor and expect to pay higher premiums... sooner or later you'll stop driving like a nob, understand what I'm saying?
[HTC One X] deakodude:
Well said,the HOX is not as easy to root as previous HTC mobiles so they have had to cover their own backs.
[HTC One X] exynoss:
Why should HTC allow you a warranty when u rooted ur phone. HTC team did a fantastic job in Sense.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks, naturally, as with all things technological, people fiddle with it and break things, fix things and improve upon things. HTC did a good job with Sense imho, if we want to detract from that and make our own alterations why should they provide us with a warranty? In their eyes Sense was a finished product.

Exactly! Overall, aesthetically, I really like Sense, it does have it's limitations however and is a resource hog, but it's a nice little eco-system that works well.
[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
If I root and flash custom software on my phone I should have warranty on hardware issues such as the WiFi issue which has been proven to be a manufacturing defect. ie NOT caused by software.

It's like, buying a computer and running Ubuntu instead of Windows and then the manufacturer not covering a HDD replacement for a failed disk because of your OS. The only way hardware issues could be caused by the software is by overclocking the cpu and playing with voltages. There is no way in hell any other hardware issues could be caused by the software running on it especially bent pins affecting wifi antenna or assembly gaps to mention a few.

HTC not standing by warranty on these phones (especially when allowing us to unlock the bootloader) is criminal. Why allow us to unlock the bootloader if you can't do anything with it???

I am quietly waiting for the next nexus phone to be announced. I think I may sell my one x (which is the best phone I've ever owned) and go for a nexus. My last few phones have all been HTC but I have lost faith in the company and brand.
[HTC One X] CoSaWa:
I think its a piss take HTC voiding part or whole of your warranty. If you went out and brought a brand new laptop and wanted to put Windows 8 on it, but you had to wait for let's say Acer to decide if the upgrade would work, to tweak and add useless programs and put a skin over it, OR void your warranty, have Windows 8 and never be allowed to send your laptop in for hardware errors, people would be pretty pissed off. These phones are mini computers. I believe they should be unlockable by 'fastboot oem unlock' which would mean full S-Off, anyway if your into loading ROMs and want a warranty. Don't buy this phone... Simple.
[HTC One X] godutch:
On certain Samsung phones with certain emmc firmware in combination with certain ics kernel could permanently destroy the emmc if you did a full wipe/factory reset in cwm
[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
That is quite poor from Samsung in my opinion.
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
i purchased the one x on release day - coming from the dhd i thought i was choosing the right phone for me. i loved changing roms and fiddling until i had a hard ware failure on the device.

i was suprised that htc had done this, i have always upgraded my phone until the dhd (nothing else really worth the upgrade until the one x was released) around 6-9 months of age (due to boredom most of the time).

I just know that my next phone will not have sense on - as much as i love sense i can live without it, but not having root makes the phone boring after a while. Its a shame as i love htc hardware, but not willing to lose warrenty on a device that could fail after so many months. My wife already has her name on my phone when i upgrade next so warrenty is still needed.

i think this is a dirty trick htc has done here and will only cost them as time goes on.

i fancy a plain android phone now as ics / jellybean looks so nice so sense wont be missed too much thinking about it, i can see a nexus coming in my near future when they release the next generation.

IMHO, i wouldnt have minded so much if htc gave the option to remove ALL bloatware inc sense - forcing programs such as suckbook and twatter with only the option to disable is pathetic, they should either give you the option to flash a vanilla rom or remove all bloat before making you void warrenty getting rid of the crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peadarog:
Hi there,

I would love some advice from fellow Android lovers in the US!

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and will be in Chicago for a while in August. Are there any pay-as-you-go SIM cards I can buy for my trip there? Which of them is the best?

Mostly I'm concerned with getting 3g data while I'm there, although some calls would be useful too.

thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] hellot1M:
Is there a place to suggest features for the xda app? During a google search, some links can be recognized be an app already installed. For example:

When searching a movie title on Google then selecting the link like imdb, it gives you an option of continuing with the browser to open the link or open it with the installed imdb app. The xda site does not have a mobile version of the site. So it makes reading threads found in a Google search difficult to navigate. It would be nice to have the xda app notice you are trying to access an article from the xda site like imdb, play store, Google drive, and Google+ notices when your trying to access something accessible from their app.

Anyone understand what I mean?

Hi People,

Im having this problem an spend hours trying to fix, but whitout succes.

i will explain, I have the samsung gt-9300(s3), i rooted this phone with odin(CF-Root-SGS3-v6.2). This was succesfull, i checked it on rootchecker and it says the phone is rooted.

so far so good, i downloaded the recovery(CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5) installed it with odin.

Now i downloaded the omega v.11.1 and put in on my phone(sdcard root), so far so good.

According the intructions, i have to reboot my phone in the recovery mode,(volume up, home button, power button)

As soon i do this, the phone reboot is android recovery 3e instead of CWM.

And when i try to install, it says E:signature verification failed. And since yesterday im stuck at this step......

I trying to look on the forum about this, nut there is no significant answer to this.

Please help me!!! It will be very appreciieted

same problem

Sorry for bumping an old thread but recently I have been experiencing the same problem on my SGS2, after some time after startup, the data partition gets mounted as ro and I am forced to reboot.

I am running CM9 stable for SGS2

Has anyone found a fix for this? This is really crucial.

I believe this may have to do with the linux kernel as someone on the ubuntu forums mentions this happens similarly on his desktop computer and formatting the partition seems to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richyvrlimited:
Is this possible for a non coder?

Being forced to have the keyboard fullscreen - so that replying to responses, or even filling in say a CAPTCHA verfification form - is beyond tedious to me.

I've found a couple of aftermarket keyboards which have this option, but they have their own rather undesirable traits. I'd rather stick with the stock keyboard and non full screen.

I've researched this a fair bit and not really got anywhere apart from finding out that it's officially called 'extract mode'

Try some battery calibration, provided by zimmerAndy in Feralab´s Discussion Thread

HOW TO -​

1. U need to drain your battery untill it went 0%, it will switch off ur phone for sure lol... than try to turn it on untill it wont even start/vibrate....

2. Now after completely draining your battery...connect it to the charger (To the socket charger not to the computer - we needs to get full voltage)

3. When it become 100%, do not disconnect the phone from socket wait untill 1 to 2 hours....(u can start your phone BUT DON'T USE IT )

3a. if your battery drained till its connected to the charger in 1 to 2 hours disconnect your charger and charge it again untill it gets 100% and repeat it untill battery stops draining on charging. than continue to the step 4.

3b. if your battery is not draining in this 1 to 2 hours, than go with the step 4.

4. Now the phone is fully charged disconnect the charger , reboot into xrecovery and wipe battery stats, reboot your phone, when lights gone off remove battery from the phone, and put it back and power on the phone.

5. leave it on charge and charge it untill 100%, disconnect the charger and reboot the phone, after power on

5a. if your battery percentage is 100% u done with the battery caliberation.

5b. if not than charge it again and reboot and check for the percentage, repeat it untill u get 100% battery on power on.....

Are there any tweaks for camera in Galaxy Nexus running stock Jelly Bean to take pictures using the power button instead of the on screen button and use volume rocker to zoom in/out without loosing their functionality ie they act like shooter and zoom in/out buttons when in camera and when not using camera like power and volume rocker? And even if possible burst mode?

On the stock JellyBean nope there is not. Some ROMS do have the option to change it.

Or you can buy this small app from the PlayStore called Camera ICS + which allows you to change the Volume+/- functionnality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mpmaheshbabu:
But it completely changes power button to camera shooter. Can't I make it switch its functionality automatically when I'm in camera and when I'm not? So that I don't have to change it every time and also it reboots every time I change it. And what happens if I don't check the option to hot reboot after the changes are applied?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ascsa:
While still waiting for my Nexus 7 (not sure if I will get one before the official european start ..:(.....) I imagined that I will use the Android Hotspot feature a lot to connect the Nexus 7 to my phone for tethering .....

So I was searching a pragmaticall way to open a WiFi Hotspot on my Galaxy S3 and connect the Nexus 7....

And I found probably the coolest way ......:laugh::D:laugh::D

Just BEAM your WiFi Configuration from one NFC device to another ...

(.... and open the Hotspot automatically and connet the WiFi- network automatically on the receiving device ....and add an Hotspot tag option for people with only one NFC Device and... and... and ....)

The implementation was a pain, but I finished it yesterday ;)

My new app NFC Hotspot

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgapp.NFC_Hotspot_FREE was released a couple of hours ago within the Google Playstore ....

I know the US carrier have some issues with WiFi hotspots and tethering, but check it out ....

It´s the initial release, so I would expect some issues/ bugs (especially with some carrier brandet roms) ... works perfect with my NFC testing devices ...., but again, not tested by myself on the Nexus 7 --> Feedback highly welcome !

******For Android BEAM feature, you need 2 NFC devices !*********

Known Issues:

- Hotspot doesn´t open on some HTC device with some (stock) firmware versions!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change log:

Version 1.3: Improved beaming and tag writing + fixes for Android 4.3 issues

Version 1.2: Improved performance and minor bugfixes

Version 1.1: Added toggle option and some minor bugfixes

Version 1.0: Initial Release!

Be aware that this is some kind of sparetime/ hobby project ....mainly to test / demonstrate a cool NFC feature ...It´s stable, but don´t expect any eye candy or lot´s of new features or additional development ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
Will give it a go, do I need to install it on my Phone, My Tablet or Both?

Just tried it, installed it on both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 - Works great!

Would be good if you could tap them together again to de-activate the WiFi tethering and go back to previous state?

Good work mate!!

PS I love the description drawings!! :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ascsa:
THANKS!

The on/off toggling is no problem, I think I will add a additional setting ....as default behavior you will run into issues with toogling when you want to connect more than 1 device (not sure if anyone is out there with more than 2 NFC devices yet ;) ) ... and I have one or two additional ideas to make it even more fun ....so I think the next feature update (not bugfixing) will come with a toggle option ....

PS I love the description drawings, too! It was at first a joke during development/ testing , but anybody who tested the app liked them, so I will keep them ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
Yeah I guess that makes sense. I would imagine the average user would only be tethering one tablet to one phone though?

Keep up the good work!!

What are the advantages of going Pro?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Yes, so toogling would be standard ....and having a setting for disabling toogling would make sense to me .....

Pro: No Ads and you could fully customize your Hotspot settings --> give it an other name, change the security to none or WPA2 and set an own password ....

Standard/ Free

SSID: NFC Hotspot

Security: WPA-PSK

Password: 10 chars randomly generated on first start of the app ...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
Ah OK, cool. Not sure if I need those features - might just get it to support development though! :D

I like this so much.....I just bought PRO!!

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ascsa:
Thanks!

btw. you don´t need a Nexus 7 ... works with every NFC device ... and you even don´t have to BEAM ... --> write a Hotspot tag (the little tag symbol in the action bar ... between "?" and "PRO") ... stick it to your laptop .... and every time you tab your phone against the tag on the laptop it opens a hotspot ....or connect to the specified Wlan ...(you can select if the device should react as sender or receiver via setting)
