[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
Hey guys. Starting yesterday, I began having an issue with the power button of my DS. At first, it didn't want to work at all (didn't respond to presses), then it "drowned" almost into the phone's body (I could barely press it), and then it began doing thing by itself!

It seems that there's something wrong with either button's contacts inside, or maybe some parts of the pressure mechanism broke, because it started to access the power menu by itself, one time after another, which made the usage almos impossible, and then it went crazy with locking the phone (as if you would press the button once), and wouldn't let the DS to sleep, as the button is "being pressed" all the time.

A few hours later it started to work properly as it should (no "going crazy" stuff), but this morning - the problem appeared again.

I really don't what to do, because I don't have anything tight enough to stick behind the button and raise it a little. What should I do?

P.S. I'm not going to disassemble/reassemble it, 'cause I need a phone lol
[HTC Desire S] manquetin:
I don't understand, you seem to describe a physical problem (the button "drowning" in the case, that's not correct behavior !!) but you don't want to disassemble your phone. I can only advise you to take it to a repair center as it will not be solved by software...
[HTC Desire S] yourlookingatbob:
Hey i have a Nexus S with the same problem! I was wondering if there is a way to disable it all together (software-wise).?.?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Known issue that can happen to our lovely device, my wife's device currently had the same problem, don't let your battery run out our you may not be able to restart your phone, I'd suggest that you install a sweep to wake kernel and consider a visit to the service Centre, especially if your still covered by warranty

I have a pretty big collection of HD movies with DTS soundtrack and none of the common media players like MX player or QQ player and even the stock samsung player could decode DTS. I looked around in the interwebs and came across VLC player beta which gets the job done. Also it is pretty good at playing back high bitrate videos where others players stutter a lot or wont even open the file. For example this 40 mbps sample

http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h264_1080p_hp_4.1_40mbps_birds.mkv

Just install as a regular app from any file manager.

TIP: Enable HW acceleration in settings for smooth 1080p playback

VLC is not yet available in play store for US and Canada. Hope a stable version is released soon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] setzer715:
Your the man, been wanting this forever! I have a ton of high bit rate videos in mkv format.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
Does it get updated constantly? Last time I tried vlc beta I was on the g2 and it honestly ducked. Coming from using vlc on all my computers it just Sucks on the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Without a market link I have no way to tell if this is regularly updated. But the way it is now it comes handy for me due to the unique capabilities I mentioned in the OP, and I havent had any issues using it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darmokk:
giving it a try, seems pretty good so far. I also tried it back on my GSII (tmobile) and it was buggy and unreliable

Well, this player wont play my mkv's. Choppy, pixelated. The built in video player, believe it or not, is the ONLY player I can find that works. Not that that is an issue or anything, only sucks if I want to run CM10. Thanks for the post anyways!

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

V Player doesn't work for me either. Maybe my videos are to high def, IDK, but nothing will play them. They are all 720 and 1080.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Did you enable hw acceleration in the preferences? I tried several formats including mkv, m2ts, mp4 etc and everything has worked well so far, 720p and 1080p. But anyways mkv is just a container and its possible your videos are encoded in some strange format.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Found out today this player can even decode lossless multichannel formats like DTS master HD and Dolby tru HD. That's very impressive! Nothing it couldn't handle so far.

Works real nice for me with one exception on .3gp files. The sound is horrible with those files and I tried all three options for audio in Preferences. The only other thing that annoys is that box that opens every single time you open or back out. Any way to disable that, I can't find one? There was someone in France who was working on his own hack that I used on my Vibrant. I'll have to see if those will work for my S3. Anyway, I've got to keep an eye on this, it is really awesome although not finished.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
I have found it doesn't work on S3 with hardware acceleration for certain codecs like wmv3.

Also, just FYI, if you have Settings > Sounds > Auto Haptic ON

VLC will vibrate entire time audio is playing (not movies), but this is also

true with winamp on S3.

Also note that you should get the VLC beta for Neon nightly builds and

that the Play Store is disabled for download from US and Canada until full

release, so you have to get .apk from the nightly builds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I actually found two other non-official versions (one is the nightly) and one of those is running really well although I'd really like to disable the Toast Frame that says it's a Beta. I may try Andridu's version that I used to have on my Vibrant. It didn't have that.

[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
Hi all,

I have a question maybe people who know more than me can answer easy on that.

My wife contract is done and i want to upgrade my own phone.

Wonder if i get the HTC One X at Rogers if it can be unlocked to Telus network or not ?

(mostly about the frequency)

Also is my HTC Amaze 4G (current phone) can also be used on Rogers network.

The plan would be to get a contract at Rogers for a new HTC One X and put it for me on Telus.

Give my HTC Amaze 4G to my wife on Rogers.

Any help would be appreciated

Eric
[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
Really .. nobody ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Well, this is the HTC ONE X (Tegra3) sub forum, not the ONE XL (snapdragon) or US network compatability forum.

So you're in the wrong place on multiple counts.
[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
I am in questions and answers about the One X and my question is exactly about the One X in Canada.
[HTC One X] Tw1tchy:
If your buying a One X from rogers then your getting the dual core One XL. This is the tegra One X so your in the wrong forum. That's all the help we can give because it is a different phone.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Wrong phone. The Rogers One X is actually the One XL. Get out of this forum and never come back because installing anything here on a Rogers One X will give you a very pretty brick.

[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
Tanks

But I can unlock it myself.

Did it many time on many devices. (Tanks to all How-To on XDA)

Question was about compatibility of frequency.

About the actual device on Telus band.

Telus just release the One X, is it the same device?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
same as the rogers, both are htc one xl with 4g bands and dual core cpu

Press thanks if i helped
[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
Is it the best One X hardware rights now?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
far from it. people in this forum including my self have the 32gb quad core htc one x, while you are using the 16gb dual core htc one xl

[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
I don't have it yet.

Shopping for the best one I can put on Telus network.

I have a Amaze 4g and need to stay at Remus cause it's a business phone

I would take a new One X for my wife from another network and keep it for me unlocked for telus.

Giving my Amaze to wife
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
then get the one we are using, the international htc one x. better support, bigger storage. the telus and rogers xl has only 9.9 gb of user accessible storage, while.we have 25gb. 10gb is not near enough to what people put on phones these days, pics, movies, videos, games music

press THANKS if i helped
[HTC One X] dialfonzo:
Ok

But is there a Canadian supplier who offer it ?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
try expansys, or simply go on kijiji, and search for quad core htc one x

[HTC One X] BenPope:
But this phone doesn't do LTE, so if you want stupid fast downloads, maybe it isn't the best choice.

Also, mainboards for this can't be imported to USA due to frivolous Apple behaviour, so if you want a warranty, maybe this isn't the best choice.
[HTC One X] Athrun88:
This guy needs simple answers.

Rogers HTC One X (16GB) will work on the Telus network if SIM-Unlocked. LTE

Telus HTC One X (16GB) will work on the Telus network. LTE

AT&T HTC One X (16GB) will work on the Telus network if SIM-Unlocked. LTE

International HTC One X (Quad-core nVidia Tegra 3 processor, 16GB or 32GB) will work on the Telus Network. It comes factory unlocked. NON-LTE

Australian Telstra HTC One X (Dual-core Snapdragon with 32GB) will work on the Telus network if SIM-Unlocked. LTE

Hope that helps.

You left out the Chinese xt and the Chinese xc

I've noticed that my S3 gets hot quite often and am considering to undervolt my Galaxy s3.

Does undervolting interfere with the performance of the S3? I am the type of user who HATES when there are lags when you scroll through pages, homescreen, and app drawer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMentior:
Undervolting is just lowering how much voltage a given frequency uses. It doesnt effect tye performance. The only thing you need to be careful of is instability. Not all chips can undervolt the same. If you undervolt too much for your chip you will get freezes and reboots.

That is exactly right. I have two S3 phones on the FAUX Kernel .10u Version and one can under volt to 800 for min frequency and the other will not boot with these settings. Through trial and error both are stable but voltages are different.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me what Kernel / Governor settings and how much i should undervolt to get a stable setting?

Things to know about the kernal:

-If you are using a stock based rom use the sammy version.

-You need to reflash the kernal

after

any rom flash or you lose wifi/bluetooth

The kernal is already undervolted a little. If you want more you need to do some trial and error to find what works for your chip.

Hey guys,

I was wondering It seems that other phones have come with beats settings? is it true that ours only has an on/off option? if so i must say that is quite ****ty... or maybe i just cant seem to find the settings, fairly confident i have searched everywhere in this phone n this phone does have quite a few hidden settings so i may be wrong

Thanks in advanced!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Hmmm, I have never seen any beats settings on the phones I have used. Are you sure they were Beats settings and not a mod of some sort that was added in by a developer?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
there are no beats settings persay, just audio options, beats works only when headset is plugged in

they're called enhancements(audio)

beats is an on/off switch.

u can really tell when using the beats headphones.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
It's a significant difference my car too (using wired aux cable). The sound may actually be better than the in-dash CD player.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Beats is just an equalizer, making it sound better. It makes bass louder, as most small devices have little audible bass, and slightly tweaks existing settings to make an overall better sound experience. If your car stereo doesn't have real equalizer settings, just the treble/bass/middle that most do, then yes, your phone probably would sound better.

I had the same symptons after updating stock firmware. Both speaker and earpiece worked fine but not in a cell phone call. You should try and let the connection to the other side last long enough and see if your cellphone modem resets like in my youtube video.

If it is like in the video than you're out of luck because with me it was an hardware error. Samsung service center could not repair that, the send it to samsung HQ. After I got it back it stated that a hardware part was replaced under warranty.

I just fixed it by installing the latest version of an official software from UK. It started failing like before, but after 5 minutes or so it fixed by itself. Don't know why exactly, and I'd really like an explanation so I can know how this happened exactly, but has been working for over 15 hours with no issues (reboots included).

Of course I don't want to wipe again or try another software at the moment, because I don't want everything to happen again, but if someone can really tell why this happens and why it started working alone this will help a lot to know how to reverse it in case it happens again.

I'm having the EXACT same issue. Everything else works fine. It came out of the blue. Last thing I was running was Omega 13.1 with Siyah Kernel 1.5.3. I've had the phone for about 3 or 4 months, then about 4 days ago it started happening out of the blue. I tried flashing and wiping anything and everything you can imagine, including stock firmware. Sometimes it would work for a few calls, then back to square one. Yesterday I went to a stock firmware, then restored my Omega nandroid and it worked fine until I rebooted. I have no idea what's causing this issue and it's really pissing me off. It seems common with no fix.

I live in the US and this phone is originally from Vodafone UK, bought through Amazon sim-unlocked (real SIM unlocked, not via any app). Samsung UK is asking me for the ROM info I'm on, which I can get by flashing a stock ROM (CSC, Baseband, etc), but they're also asking me for a UK address, which is troubling.

I've read it's hardware failure and that Samsung will fix it. However if you live in a region where the phone isn't sold and you imported it through Amazon, Negri, etc, you need to contact the original seller, because Samsung won't touch it if you send it to them directly.
