[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwarner666:
e-book apps

I use the nook app almost exclusively. The reason is my first device was the original Nook (then it died after warranty), so I have a lot of content through them. I also like the Free Friday selections - they put a normally paid book up for free for one day only. I've discovered tons of good books that I normally wouldn't buy (I hate to spend money on books when I don't know if it's worth the money or not).

I also use the Kindle app for the small amount of content I have on there.

I also use the Overdrive combined with SLCounty Library apps for all of my library reading. The bad thing about this is that too often I have to wait for a particular book to become available. On the other hand I have read some gems that I wouldn't have bought otherwise.

Personally I like the reading experience of Nook. It seems that I'm more able to forget the device and lose myself in the book more than the other apps. YMMV.

I rooted primarily because I wanted to get the notification bar combined with the navigation bar - tablet UI. It feels like I have more screen real-estate. That, plus I like the custom backups better than the Google backup, I've already used it to re-install apps (I did it as a test).

I will probably be adding a custom ROM in the next day or two.

I doubt you're going to be able to get your friends store credit, they shouldn't have elected to associate the device with their account when it was purchased. Oh well, live and learn.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord dredd:
Thanks a lot.

Actually I have a lot if books lying around in epub format , which I used to read on my iPod a while back , is that compatible with nexus as well and van they be read with nook app.

I have rooted an R800x, Xperia Play. Using flash tool. I had to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and I want to flash a new rom. I can't flash a rom because I can't install CWM. I used X-Parts to install CWM but when I reboot the phone to recovery using X-Parts, it doesn't boot to CWM. I have tried to manually reboot to CWM using the [back] button, pushing it repeatedly but I still couldn't boot it to recovery. Can you please help me.

Hi Folks,

My HOX has this flickering light problem with its Display. Now i need to know if this is a Hardware fault, and it has to be repaired. Or is this Software related and i have to wait until next OTA?

My Device is a HT24 with german 1.29
[HTC One X] uqadwe:
something like this?

[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
There is a pretty good chance that it is permanent hardware damage caused by the software setting display voltage too high.

I would probably get warranty repair done, but only if I knew that the repair work would be done right.
[HTC One X] and313:
I returned mine (backlight flickering) and they updated it... To the latest version i allredy had on :) tomorrow i will demand a new phone and aks if the sum of the iq of the people that worked on my phone can be compared to my spare tyre
[HTC One X] ste1164:
The 1.29.401.11 update that was issued fixed the flickering. You need to wait a while for the update to go.
[HTC One X] and313:
How long? And are we talking about backlight flickering here?
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
It was supposed to fix the issue, but I suspect that those who were on updates that had the original flickering issue for too long may have actually had their phones damaged by the overvoltage.
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I'm on the latest (stock) update and mine still flickers - although only slightly. (Still enough to notice on light backgrounds, though - and not all the time.) :(
[HTC One X] ionut.micu:
I used to have the flicker with the stock firmware (it was 1.29 I think), after I updated to test 2.05 and now to 2.15 the flicker issue is gone.

It's a shame that HTC didn't fixed the issue faster, but in the end it's OK.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
There was a massive thread on this that kinda fizzled out not too long ago, I think the general consensus was that after the 1.29 update it took about two weeks for the software to settle in and the flickering will disappear.

You mean flickering like a strobe light effect as there were two known kinds.

Have a read through this: Screen Flicker - Response from HTC
[HTC One X] and313:
Well then i will give it two weeks and report back
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I don't want to hijack someone else's thread, but mine is not the strobe - it is the slight (but noticeable) flicker on light backgrounds, as you might find in a fluorescent bulb which is struggling to stay alight. I am on Voda UK, 1.29.161.13 which is the latest OTA and I have been using it for more than two weeks, so the flicker should have gone. In all other respects, my phone is rock-solid; I don't want to swap it and take the chance I'll get a worse model back and I can't be without it whilst it is in for repair. I guess I'm hoping that a later OTA will fix the problem. Is that a reasonable expectation?
[HTC One X] and313:
Dont be afraid that you gonna get a bad x. You can get a new one instantly if you bring the broken one back in two days... I got the exact same problem as you. Will se if the ota helps me
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
That's what I was experiencing, Eg on the light grey backgrounds it's a light flickering. Mine went away and I don't experience it anymore.

I seem to remember it dissapearing after I got 1.29.401.11 iirc...

Yeah please do.

But again guys I know it's a slog but reading through that thread might allay any concerns you have and shed some insight into the issue
[HTC One X] and313:
Ok so here is the backlight flickering verdict. Its still the same nothing changed. The people who reported that it was fixed probably installed the update sooner then me and did not experienced hardware damage. Its safe to say i have to return mine
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I'm a bit late, but heyho. I also experienced the flicker when I was on 1.28. Especially on the recent apps grey screem. But I flashed a newer base and its disappeared in 3 days (ish). I flashed the 2.17 base by the way. But, like others have said 1.29 was apparently the update which fixed the flicker, just took a few days to settle. So glad its gone. Hope you have the same outcome.

How are you liking the 2.17?

Still on 1.29 damn Vodafone.. Getting replacement soon unbranded so will have it soon wahey!
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Best rom yet, smooth, fluid and fast! Sense feels like a new experience that now I use it and not replaced it with a third party launcher.

It's a big improvement from the previous bases, it can only get better with future updates. I don't use stock but use custom roms so should be very similar performance wise.

Screen flicker was solved on the 1.2.9 release however saying that I did experience slight flicker on the 2.1.7 base but I think that was related to auto brightness as it seems to have disappeared now as well after a few days of settling down.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Further to what the above poster said, it's just, it just honestly seems like a different phone. It's almost as if HTC have tore apart the system UI and started from scratch, sense is unbelievably smooth, i sat there like this when swiping side to side ( :victory: ), Anyway, it's a new phone, i was extremely shocked & happy with the update and i'm 1000000% sure you will be to!

I'm on a Three branded HOX (which may i add is STILL on 1.28... I KNOW, there getting ridicules now...) so i sorted myself out with a custom rom (viperX ;))

And now i'm on the latest base :victory: as Mcdonalds would say... 'i'm lovin' it'

Good luck with your unbranded HOX ;D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] face-t:
Details of handset:

LT15i, Android 2.3.3, Build 3.0.1.A.0.145, no SIM lock

I have this handset for about a year. It was never working smooth and I was surprised it was much worse than my desire when it comes to processing speed.

Well I've accepted it for the design reason.

Within time, processing speed degraded, phone been relatively cool at the back but was getting more and more often - restarts. Last week it crashed - after restart many icons and widgets were missing from he screen, most importantly some parts of the screens are not available any more to add there icon or widget - looks being occupied. When trying to hold-and drag -this eventually invisible element- normal menu appears to ad shortcut, widget etc...

Yesterday I've rooted phone, removed unwanted bloatware, but al problems remained [speed didn't increase]

Then I've checked can I unlock Boot Manager, by typing the service code - and I can't [no info in the menu]

My questions:

1. Is this all I can do about self-BM unlocking?

2. Can I still update old Adroid edition with flashtool-0.9.0.0 ?

2a. If yes what is [eventually] the best to update handset with

3. I found this info

http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-arc-root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-77812/

it took me to this guide from this site

http://www.androidauthority.com/xpe...4-0-3-ics-mooded-aokp-aroma-custom-rom-93028/

Will I have benefit from installing CWM without unlocked BootLoader? Will I be able to install this ROM?

3a. Do I risk anything by copying this files directly into SYSTEM directory?

4. Can I do at this stage- "Factory reset" ? [after rooting]

5. Can I do at this stage- FOTA update? [after rooting]

6. What is gonna happen if I will try BL unlocking - even service menu says It is unlockable?

thank you for any help in sorting this one out

I have still 1 y of contract on this one :(

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

After last long night I can answer some of this Q :p

1. More can be done

2. Yes

2. 4.0.4 ICS was the newest firmware I could find - and that could be rooted [important as I wanted to re-install apps from old System - with Titanium BAckup- and use handset without major interruption]

3. Installing apk didn't get me CWM - didn't try anything else

4. ?

5. From what I have read, FOTA after root is OK, but only if Sony's bloatware wasn't removed

6. ?

2nd, what new features will I get?
[HTC EVO 3D] mariojp:
The evo 3D wasn't built for ice cream sandwich, so you can't get all of what ICS has to offer. I personally am disappointed with ics on my 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Actually ics is available for evo 3d as an upgrade, there is a new version of sense 3.6 which gives you ics plus some nice features on sense, new homescreen and dock, there's some minor tweaks, to many to go into detail. Now sense 4 is as available but it was not designed for the evo, so there are minor things which don't work but it's overall much nicer with more shortcuts and improvements. Hope this helps, Sense 3.6 with ics will improve overall performance, minor over gb but improvements.
[HTC EVO 3D] minieod:
you're right - the evo3d was not built for ICS - but HTC has built ICS for the evo3d

ICS has been integrated into a full system update to the phone , unrooted

so. you get everything the evo3d has to offer - 3d pictures and video, 4g wimax, and everything else supported by the makers of the phone

plus a better and faster system with much better battery life and features , over gingerbread

.

so what are you talking about?

to answer the OP - you wont have to reinstall anything - the device will update itself (if we are talking about official htc OTA update) --- if we are talking about rooted developed roms, then yes , reinstall or restore a backup

[HTC EVO 3D] 808souljah:
wow! if this is your answer, then technically any phone that did not come stock with ICS was "not built for ICS" I personally think ics is way better than GB! Multi tasking is a pretty awesome feature! As far as I know, ICS was designed to work better on dual core phones... the EVO3D was one of the first dual core phones sprint released, so I would say that it utilizes ICS perfectly
[HTC EVO 3D] mariojp:
It's disappointing that HTC gives you half a** quick settings in the pull down menu for ICS. No on/off selection for wifi nor auto screen orientation. You can't even add settings or change them.
