[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
I'm unable to find a way to utilize HTC's Voice Recorder app. It doesn't display in my usable apps list, but does display in the list of all installed apps and even shows up in system/app. I frequently used it on my original Dinc, and can't overwrite it or reinstall it from package without root. Does anyone have the ability to use it or have an idea for me to fix this without a factory reset?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
mine's not showing in app draw either

i don't see it anywhere on my phone??
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All tab and look for Voice Recorder. It shows up on my phone as taking up 0.00B, meaning it's not installed. When I use my file manager to look at the system/app folder, it shows HtcSoundRecorder.apk as taking up 307.00K, meaning the app exists and should be installed on first initialization, but it's not.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
did that and under all apps its not there.

what file explorer you using i'm using es file explorer, can't seem to find system apps
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
ok i found it same as yours
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
You have to admit, that's kinda weird. I've never seen app in system/app not install, but leave evidence it should be there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yeah wonder what's up with that, did you try to click on the system one, does nothing
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
It won't let me (re)install it because I don't have root. I also can't replace it with the one from my original Dinc.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yeah i know i just tried that, too

boy, i hope they let us unlock these soon, this crap is driving me nuts

i put easy voice recorder on here from the inc2, it seems to work ok, i think i got it from the market, not sure, i installed it from my backups
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Lol. Yeah, I rooted my Dinc soon after it got Froyo, so for almost the last 2 years I've been able to install what I want when I want, and I definitely miss that. The few people who rooted this phone before they took the ability away from us don't seem to be hanging around the forums much. I've got questions and comments posted on several of the sub-forums and few have replies.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yeah hopfully soon we can do what we want.

by the way i just tried that easy voice recorder, it works very well
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ceayuso:
I'm unlocked and it's working on UKB.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
That means it would probably work if we could overwrite it. :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Claynsen:
Un-Hide

You can get it to work through the "Notes" app. Voice Recorder is Hidden from the app drawer because it is bundled with Notes. Kinda like Navigation is bundled with Maps, but at least you can go straight to Navigation if you want. You need to be rooted to edit the default.xml to un-hide apps like Mirror, Task Manager, Car, Dock, Voice Recorder, etc.

P.S. it says 0.00 because you haven't ever used it before.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
Yes, the recorder works with notes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
You are quite correct. You have to manually go and find the audio file it saves in 'sdcard/.data/HtcNotes' It doesn't show up in the Music player, at least without a reboot. Clicking on it in my file explorer, it plays in the Music app, though. There are several applications/shortcuts hidden by default.

Voice Recorder, Camcorder, Voice Dialer, Mirror, Polaris Office, among others.

I appreciate you pointing that out to me. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] carm01:
Editing default.xml and removing the lines as per the post ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19800023&postcount=7 ) resulted in hidden apps still not showing; also checked the rezound forum ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1418785 ) and there was still an issue of them not showing

anyone?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] wmuflyer:
If you change launchers the hidden apps show up. I'm running nova launcher and they're there.

[Xperia Arc General] CatalinG:
Hey guys,

I have an xperia arc with the original 4.0.4 software. Well it work pretty ok except that that the widgets pages freeze after a few minutes (they dont refresh the clock is sat 15:30 but the clock widget is stuck at 13:03 (for example)). Also if I try to install adobe flash to watch some flv movies the whole phone goes wild .. also many mp4 movies that on 2.3 i was watching with no problems now I can't watch. Also my sd card it's "unavailable" via usb after that update...

I tried the repair option from pc companion that installs a new software and no changes. So i decided to try installing a custom software. But I don't know what to install (never installed a custom software on android before...tried to root the 2.3 once and got stuck in boot loop).

So any suggestion what I should install that works mostly ok and also an easy guide of how to install it ? (I'm also thinking about rooting)

Thank you,

CatalinG.
[Xperia Arc General] panicc.co:
This sounds so annoying that I would flash another stock Rom.

Jjhibrid is the best option for stock.

You could also explore unlocking the BL for custom Fw.

In any affect I would flash a new Rom. Or look into cwm recovery
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sray1:
When I got my N7 and signed in it automatically loaded the same as apps as on my phone. I just did a bootloader unlock. I knew that it would erase the device, but I assumed it would reload my google/play apps after I signed in just like it did out of the box originally.

In fact it did hook up my gmail, and reload my wifi passwords, but not the apps. Is there something I can do other than reload them one at a time?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
You reload them one at a time. When you setup your Nexus 7, all it did was sync your passwords. It didn't load any apps.

As the title suggests, I recently tried all ICS kernels that I know and none of them booted to even the recovery screen before I got a WLOD. I really want to be on ICS so can someone please help?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
I have tried all available ICS in this forum, but none of them seem to work properly or im flashing something wrong... So stick to GB for now and when you get a very stable kernel and ROM... flash that... as fas as i know Championswimmers AKOP port is almost done expect some data issues (thats what i red when i saw it last)... But if you decide to flash ICS, just amke sure you are using proper "Kernel"....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanderstruck:
Happened the same to me with kcernel. What I did was flash a stock room with flashtool and then flash fxp-127 kernel, and that worked for me to instal remyICS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
Finally I was able to install ICS (tried both CM9 and Xperia S ICS) for both all you need is FXP kernel, currently I'm using FXP132 kernel and Xperia S ICS ROM...

Jelly Bean updates by Samsung for SGSII, SGSIII, Note and Note II

Thoughts?

Copied from http://www.sammobile.com/2012/08/06/jelly-bean-updates-by-samsung-for-sgsii-sgsiii-note-and-note-ii/

This weekend we tweeted about Android 4.1 updates for the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II. Let us explain what Samsung will do and how far they are at the moment.

Galaxy S III The test firmwares for the Galaxy S III are passed and they are working on a public version of the first Jelly Bean updates for the Galaxy S III. The wait is on the public version and the agreement of Google.

Galaxy S II Samsung is still testing Android 4.1 for the Galaxy S II. The first tests are looking fine. Because the Galaxy S II is still selling very well and Samsung will update the Galaxy S II to Android 4.1. If Samsung decides at the last moment not to update the Galaxy S II, all Galaxy S II owners will get a value pack update. But so far there is no reason not to update the Galaxy S II to Android 4.1.

Galaxy Note. For the Galaxy Note it is the same story as for the Galaxy S II. Tests are fine but there is still no official words by Samsung.

Galaxy Note II. The Samsung Galaxy Note II would be showed at IFA 2012. The test software is currently based on Android 4.0. Our insider isn’t sure if Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Note II with Android 4.0 or Android 4.1. If Samsung decides to use Android 4.0 at launch, an update to the Galaxy Note will be available a couple of months after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
couldnt care less what Samsung does as far as 4.1; our dev's are just about there with far superior products right now, so waiting to see what Samsung does is a non issue for the XDA power users...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kraize:
I love how everyone thinks that it doesn't matter to have an official Rom because it does. An official JB Rom means better performance and kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
have you installed/tried any of the JB roms that our dev's have released?

performance is outstanding; just little quirks, like camcorder and Youtube, but otherwise, they BLOW AWAY any of the Samsung roms..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Yes but things like the video glitches are because they lack the drivers from Samsung. The devs do great work of course but it's not like Samsung contributes nothing of use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NightHawkUndead:
And not everyone loves roms build off aosp pulled together from other phones releases. I've tried the jellybean roms thus far and they are nice but would be better if they were 100% working. I use camera and YouTube daily. (Boring job) So an official release is better than an early half working rom to me. Some people like the stock look and feel. I myself and happy to hear we will get jellybean love. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
For those that find additional functionality out of the S Pen, this would be a bummer. Touchwiz Framework is currently the only way to get the best S Pen apps working on android: S Note, S Memo, the screenshot editor, and the best widgets on android.

The custom work from our devs is superior, but only in different areas. FJmod performs as well as CM9 and CM10 does in most situations, and there are niche areas where they each have issues or strengths (feature support and 3d is inconsistent on CM9, something I hope improves, and functionality and freedom is a bit more nuanced in the stock based ROMs).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
agreed; when all that happens, it will make a great phone even better...But, with Samsungs track record as far as releasing software updates on a timely basis, we shouldn't hold out breath for them to release any official JB stuff anytime soon..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thair7391:
Performance is outstanding for SOME. Unfortunately not for others like myself lol...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
There are other superior alternatives to s-memo that work in xm9 and aokp, memo beta is a good example. I haven't looked for alternatives to the others yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
Most people want JB for project butter which we probably won't ever have untill Samsung releases JB for it.

So yeah its quite important.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
I thought butter was part of the coding for JB.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Hi,

I recently bought (and returned to the store!) a brand new Black HTC One S, the phone was amazing but during a benchmark I noticed something disturbing, My 1S was the C2 version so it has the old S3 chipset with 220 GPU and 1.7GHZ CPU, I jet back to the store and ask them about it just to realize they have no idea that the 1S comes in 2 versions....BTW, I'm from Israel.

After talking to the tech guys at the store they told me they can't tell if the phone is the C2 version or not without installing a hardware info app.

Can anyone tell me please, is there a way to know what version the phone is just from looking at the box or from within the phone menu?

Is there a way to know that from the IMEI # ?

I got full refund and the option to upgrade to the 1X or S3 for that matter but I really can't decide. these phones are not cheap and I want to make the right decision.

One more thing, does anyone know what are the prices for the 1S and the 1X in Germany? I have a friend who's flying there tomorrow and can buy me one there...

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the looong post :)

Rotem.
[HTC One S] chapo-grelo:
model number of S4 version is z520e, the model number of S3 version (C2) is z560e.

This number is printed on the box.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Thanks a lot man, I will check it out tomorrow at the store I dealt with .

In case all 1S in Israel are S3 (or C2), Where can I get the S4 version online? Or should I just upgrade to the 1X for like $40 (though I don't really like it)...

Thanks!
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Probably the One X if all are S3's. It's a beast device. You won't be sad either way you go!

Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Well in case all are S3 then I won't buy it for sure.

But what if I can get the S4? Maybe online from the US or something, Should I go with it or with the 1X?

I have a friend who's flying to Germany tomorrow but I think they also have the S3 over there...not sure though.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Get the One X because from the USA it'll be a lot for international shipping.

[HTC One S] koper1:
Germany

As far as I can tell, all Germany (austria, swiss) One S are Z-520e (S4). Just be sure not to buy a branded device like T-Mob.DE, since it's ROM is full of bloatware in germ. language. The Z-560e (S3) version are common mostly in EE (east europe) countries. Just check the bottom of that white paper box for model 520e or 560e.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Let me get it straight, if I can get my hands on an S4 version of the One S I should get it instead of the One X ?

My dilemma is that I believe the One X will get all updates and will be more compatible with future apps and what not while the One S will not, plus I think in the near future all apps will take advantage of quad core cpu's so thats why I'm confused.

It may seem easy to chose but I really like the One S and don't really like the X (its not that bad it just doesn't look as good as the S)...

Anyway, Do you think I'd rather get the S4 instead the 1X ? (considering its $40 difference).

Thanks.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
IMO the One S S4 has a better architecture, based on Krait. The process technology is also 28nm, compared to the Tegra 3's 40nm. But there won't be much of a difference during normal use, although S4 has 4G LTE.
[HTC One S] frdd:
Wouldn't trade my S4 ville for a one X or galaxy S3, only pros they have for me is a bit more development but the S4 ville already has some very good devs devving major ROMs like CM9, MIUI and AOKP and some nice Sense Roms like leedroid and trickdroid. Hopefully the C2 will catch up someday, root and custom recoveries as well as the first ROMs are just coming out in the last few weeks.
[HTC One S] doartest:
Germany has S3 as well

I have just bought an S3 by mistake in Switzerland. From what I read online, Germany and Switzerland also have mixed stocks of S3 and S4. I have read that Media Markt (http://www.mediamarkt.de/), a large retailer in Germany, has the S4. Their website mentions a 1.5 Ghz processor; if that's accurate, it's S4.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
I'm pretty surprised to read that all of you rather have the S instead of the X...and then again it is the One S Forum so... :)

After visiting the store I first bought my 1S from It seems all they have is the S3 version and they are offering me (again) the 1X for an extra $40.

Does the 1X Tegra CPU is more powerful then the Krait CPU of the S4 ?

BTW, Is there a special reason you guys bought the One S and not X (beside it being more beautiful and smaller then the X) ? The reason I'm asking is because the X has better hardware (ie Quad Core, 4.7" HD Screen etc).

Thanks!
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
i am too from israel, and i am too bought 1 s which the store told me its S4 and its S3, so i try to return it and i hope they wont make any trouble.

i will be very sad to have an one S S3 for the same price i could get an S4 from a normal store.

OP: after how many days did you return it to the store and which store?
[HTC One S] slainbybeats:
Bought mine in Mediamarkt Germany and got a S4! My dude bought one at Saturn store and he got a S3, but he don't cares because he doesn't need root and all this. Germany seems to be mixed up but HTC told me that in germany there are only s4(got a screenshot). I don't even get why HTC makes 2 kinds of the S...

sent from HTC One S via xda app
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
I bought it from Eline in Haifa, I returned it after like 6 days maybe.

Look, just print the One S page on their website that state that the CPU is 1.5Ghz then go to the store and tell them this is not true and that you would like to cancel everything or upgrade to something else, the printout is for your backup in a case they will change the website.

Good Luck :)
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
When did you buy your 1S and how much did it cost? my friend is about to go there and I need to know some prices !! :)

Do you know how much the 1X and the SGS3 costs as well ?

Thanks dude !
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
LOL, i bought mine form Eline tel aviv same story.

i hope they will take the device back like in your case, i returned mine after 4 days.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Can I ask how much did you pay for it? and did you pay cash?

I don't know what to do next, ether get full refund or go with the 1X...To be honest (with myself LOL) I don't really have a device that I want, I just want to upgrade my Desire.

I wonder if HTC has a new flagship up their sleeve (maybe one with removable battery and a SD Card slot)....
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
payed 2760, but now all the prices begins to drop.

i asked few other stores and they got the real S4 version. so you should just take refund and buy S4 from another store :)
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Yeah, the price now is around 2450 but no one can tell me for sure if they have the S4 or not...I think I will wait a little longer and maybe get the One X instead. I saw the white version and it looks pretty good, not close to the One S but still ok.

The one X got the 4.0.4 update and it is working a lot better now so...
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
just axk the store about the model number and Ghz

if its 1.5 GHz and model z520e, than its S4.

check this yourself at the store and thats it.
[HTC One S] jandari:
Just got new One S today becouse 4 previous have chipped. This has the new design housing, but it's a S3 z560e. The phone is VERY, VERY , VERY laggy compared to the S4 version. Can not belive HTC is selling this piece of crap for the same money. Will wait how the battery holds up to compare to S4 and post results. Then will send it back and take my money.
[HTC One S] clewis:
Mine doesn't lag..... Get slight stutter in home screen from time to time but that's coz we are still on 4.0.3 and don't have the improved homescreen.
[HTC One S] Rotem_46:
Thats what I did :)

I got the S3 and returned it after a week or so. I think I can get the S4 in Israel but now I'm thinking maybe it'll be worth it to get the 1X instead.

The thing is HTC will probably launch their new flash ship soon (Quad core & S4 chipset) so I don't want to pay so much right now...

For $40 more I can get the X and even if the 1S S4 CPU is better then the Tegra (per core) I think I will get more power from the X.

I will wait a little longer and then decide what to get, maybe prices will get lower :)

Canadian shippers is good because it will get to me within a few days.
