Whats the latest on the camera fix??

:fingers-crossed: This sounds like a broken record ... (I said record) Is the camera still being worked on for ICS Android?? or has all support gone to CM10 Jellybean etc.. .. ... if so can someone post the best link to keep up with the latest camera status .. .. Thanks Dudes.. :cyclops:

Hi,

I really truly tried to resolve my issue (by searching etc.) and learned a lot along the way but I have the problem still.

I bought a used One X. The guy showed me Jelly Bean working on it. I didn't use it at the sale. After I got home I found it was stuck on the HTC start screen. I had to go and it wouldn't turn off so I left it for half a day.

Found the volume down and power trick and booted several times into recovery mode and clockwork. Eventually tried format SD in clockwork. I also found a factory reset or similar button somewhere (can't quite remember if it was in recovery or clockwork). I think it was then that I had no more clockwork. Got a loop into Fastboot, message at the top says "Relocked - Security Warning". Can't switch it off. It occasionally switches itself off doesn't respond to the power button, after a few minutes with a usb plug in it starts again. It turns itself off after 15-20 mins again. When in Fastboot all options just loop back to Fastboot although reboot bootloader takes more time and has more lights.

Eventually started using fastboot cmd. Got an unlock token to flash, received error Failed (remote: battery low). Continued to receive that error with whatever I tried.

Found forums on using wires on the battery to charge and cycling reboots without success. As far as I can tell you can't get to the battery of the one x and I don't get the HTC flash screen mentioned in the cycling solution anymore.

Can I charge this phone? Should I investigate taking it apart to access the battery? Will a phone shop be able to fix this problem by doing things I can't?

Thanks for your time.

Great! Thank you very much A&D. I downloaded and installed Android SDK, got the file and put it in the right folder, now I need to open a cmd window and type "adb ???? fastboot-battery-recharge.bat" in order to charge the phone. Can you help?

Thanks
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Just extract the Fastboot-battery-recharge.bat and put it into your platform-tools folder inside your Android folder (assuming you have downloaded the SDK).

Now enter fastboot (power and Vol Down) and double click the .bat file and let it do it's work :)

Great thanks, it's going. I didn't realise it was a batch file.

One problem is that my voltage is going down not up, happy to leave it for a while though. Started at 2877mV and now is 2858mV after about 50 cycles. You can see it going up sometimes and down others but overall is going down...

IMPORTANT: I figured out you need to use a short usb cable and avoid front panel and bracket usb slots
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Weird. Your phone is still connected right? It should be charging but takes a long time. If all else fails, HTC is your only help ):

Hi,

I have the same problem but i can't get ADB to work on mac osx.

I can't get to recovery because the battery is to empty, i can't get to flash a boot.img because batt. is empty.

does anyone have a solution?
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
The battery is up after 30 mins to 2960mV so it does work overall.

The batch file contents are as follows:

@echo off

:start

fastboot getvar battery-voltage

fastboot reboot-bootloader

ping /n 6 localhost >nul

goto start

You could write your own batch for use with mac (assuming mac's can run fastboot.exe)...or just type it out for 6 hours straight
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Glad it's working! :) Gonna take many hours to get that charge up, but at least it's working xD
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
I have the same problem, the HTC screen is coming up the led is burning and than reboot (in about 5 sec).

My Battery is charging with every reboot very slow but it is charging.

From 1% to the required 3474mV was 12 hours of charging (about (8640 reboots :silly:)

Now i am on 3487mV but this is still not good enough.

I will let is charge for a little while hoping it will work again.
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
Solved - "FAILED - Remote (battery low)" error

Yep it's a common problem by the sounds and hopefully this thread will stand out as the one to use.

Basically if you receive a "FAILED - Remote (battery low)" error through fastboot you should use the command "fastboot getvar battery-voltage" and find out how far from the required 30% (how low the mV number is / highest mV the battery holds = [> or < 30%]), this will vary from phone to phone. If you are under the threshold and have the older boot loader you will not be able to charge your phone by leaving it plugged in and hoping. You are have 3 options:

1) If your phone has a removable battery you can the wiring from an extra usb cable in order to get charge or just put in a charged one - the One X cannot use this solution

2) If it is close to 30% you might be able to get enough charge by rebooting it 10 or 20 times (this is because for a portion of the boot up time the phone takes on charge). The report of this solution working involved the ph boot looping onto the HTC splash screen, my ph was looping into boot loader only.

3) If it is far enough off the correct mV, you can run a batch file (props to Laav) that loops 2) and reports battery voltage until you are satisfied. This requires a USB connection and you should use a short usb cable and avoid front panel or bracket slots (especially if you notice that the voltage doesn't always increase each reboot).

Once you get to 30% you are able to flash imgs using fastboot and I would recommend (as Laav does) flashing the newer Clockwork Recovery which allows you to charge the phone while in recovery mode. Then let it charge to 100% and worry no more that you'll get caught out.

If you are reading this and don't have this problem, make sure your clockwork is up to date so you don't end up with it (ie. having a problem with your rom and needing flash tools with a battery below 30% leaves you with no way to charge it).

From my experience the batch file method increased my battery voltage 300mV in about 3 hours so 100mV/hr is probably a reasonable guideline.
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
I'm sorry actually it's not working for me. Just checked the voltage and it's 2960mV. Because it's not my phone I don't know if it had a battery problem or anything. Is there no way around the 30% check?

The receipt says it was purchased on 24.4.12...
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
This tutorial thread says 30% = 3478mV

With battery-voltage: 3490mV

sending 'boot' (4466 KB)... OKAY

writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: battery low)

Others say it has to be over 3680mV, i think this is the correct value. But i don't have that value so i have to wait until then to check.

I have the clockwork recovery but it is not loading, when i press recovery i see the clockwork logo about 1 sec and then it reboots.

For now i wil leave it to the charger for 7/6 hours and let it reboot every 5 sec, i hope this will get me enough power.

Is there someone who can make the batch work on OSX?

Thanks
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
2819mV now...2781mV 3 mins later...:( I guess aside from installing a new charged battery or sending it to HTC I'm sunk. I'll call a phone repair store and see if they'll change the battery and flash the new clockwork or stock rom for me tomorrow...

Does anyone suggest a change to the batch file/timing to see if that works? To make it longer do I change the "ping /n 6 localhost >nul" to a larger number?

Are other people getting a constant increase when they look over the voltages reported?
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
OMG! I found something v. important out, I was using a long usb cable (1.5m) and a usb slot on the computer that is a bracket (rather than the motherboard slots) and once I changed over to a very short cable (10cm - I have it for the car) and the motherboard usb slot I'm almost charged up in 10 mins. I'll edit the longer post now.

Received error "FAILED: remote (not allowed)" when trying "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash CWM touch recovery whilst the phone is in fastboot.

http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8

Place it in the same folder as fastboot in Android SDK,

Enter fastboot

Plug in usb cable from PC to phone

Should now say fastboot USB

Open command prompt

cd c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

A couple of hours later my battery did not charge ant more and is stuck at 3490mV.

Is there any other way to load my battery?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
You should still be able to flash ClockworkMod & a custom rom.

You could do this, even if to at least get your phone up and running to charge it fully.
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
I found the same thing, it wouldn't go past this but it was enough to change the message from Battery low to (in my case) Not allowed.

I had locked the bootloader but it wouldn't unlock so I locked it (sent command twice and received 'ok' message). Unlocked the bootloader again, realised how the menus/options on stock bootloader actually work, loaded clockwork recovery through the recovery option (it was on there the whole time), went back out and made sure it was up to date, used it to install a new Jelly Bean copy, charged the phone.

Well, it took 12 solid hours of researching and attempts after I initially bought what was supposed to be a working phone but it's back again.

Thanks to all who contributed to my questions.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Good stuff, got there in the end :)
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
I aready have ClockworkMod but it does not load, i see the logo for 1 sec and then a reboot.

Fastboot flash recovery gives me an error and trying an boot.img gives me battery to low.

You had locked the bootloader but would not unlock so you locked it but you unlocked it again?

Can you tell me how you did this with the lines for the terminal in my case?

Thank you very much
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Charge the battery until it will take the unlock token. Flash the recovery that lets you charge the battery. Go to recovery. Let it charge in recovery. Your phone should be fine now.
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
I can't figure it out.

battery-voltage: 3490mV

./fastboot-mac flash recovery CWM.img

sending 'recovery' (5742 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: battery low)

When i go to the white screen when you can choose Hboot and Recovery i see **unlocked**

Do i need to lock it again? How can i do this?

Sorry for trying to help... :laugh:

Good luck with that attitude around here! :good:
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
You don't need to unlock again, mine said "Re-locked" where yours says unlocked. It happened when I was stuffing around before I knew what I was doing. The error changed from battery low to something else once I was at 3490mV. I don't know why yours still says battery low as my battery had this charge and wouldn't go higher through the batch file. It should be working.

Are you stopping the batch file for the rom flash attempt? - I did that. Mine never hit 3500mV, however it took 5 hrs to get from 2870 to 2960 and then 25mins to get from 2960 to 3490 once I changed the cable to a short one so it made a huge difference (I know this is not your problem).

Possibly try another machine to do the flash rom procedure? Sounds like you are doing everything right??

Agreed.

I'm not sure that was attitude as they simply answered the question you had asked Smidgeox?? Thanks for everyone's help in resolving my issue. The new jelly bean is working just fine, just waiting for a microsim and stick with a Nokia 1616 til then :(
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but a) i didn't ask a question, i simply made a suggestion which is a common mistake, b) underneath that suggestion i made another suggestion.

But, i guess answering with an ellipse & a short, ungrateful sentence is a sign of gratitude these days :laugh:

Never mind.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

I am using fastboot to get the mV from my phone. I think i will try it on a windows machine after learning how to use ADB or something like that.

Every option i try is failing.. Can i buy an fully charged battery somewhere? I think that is my only other option?
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
you are doing the right thing with the flash command and it is being completed properly just has the error. there's a small chance the mac and pc versions have different thresholds for flashing?? I thought about the battery replacement and you can get tools to open the phone. a phone repair shop might have a charged battery?
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
Now i am on a windows computer with adb.

When i want the use fastboot for anything my phone hangs in the white fastboot screen..

Now when i plugin the phone in the windows computer with usb cable the screen goes black and the red led blinks.

What does this mean?
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
I think the phone is dead now.

After pluggin it to a windows computer i can't start the phone anymore.

No boot logo or something like that only black screen and no burning led's
[HTC One X] fishy12345:
Mine did do that for several minutes at a time and was non-responsive. I'd put it down and a few minutes later look over to find it starting up...
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Blinking red LED means the battery is totally flat and it will stop after a bit of charge.
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
I left it al night to the charger and after a while my screen turn on. Then i made a dual boot on my mac with windows 7, did a clean install of htc sync and sdk. On my Mac fastboot gives me 3490mV on my Windows fastboot gives me 3572 mV, battery to low i still get when trying flash recovery..

I will let it charge today and then try al the steps again on my windows machine

Thanks!
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
After hours of charging my battery-voltage is over 3680mV . This is enough to get the rid of the battery low message, now i can finally try to install the RUU to get my phone working again! Thank for the help everyone!

Excellent champ :victory:
[HTC One X] fvanommen:
Thanks! I only could install the RUU after reaching 3800mV. If under the 3800mV the low battery error is showing up during the installation of the RUU. Maybe this info could help someone else.

What are your top picks for a new ultrabook?
[General Questions and Answers] gorcorps:
I've been trying to narrow down the field on ultrabooks lately, and I don't know if I can come up with 5 I'd actually want.

Top of the heap right now IMO is a fully loaded Samsung Series 9: AMAZON

Very close runner up is the latest Asus Zenbook Prime: AMAZON

The others will be tossed around depending on price and such. The new Vizio ultrabooks are a decent option for the cost but you can tell it's not as premium of a device as the above.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
There is a fix floating around, actually its it s settings tweak and it should increase you're non-wifi data speed tremendously. If you can wait a few min ill track it down and post a link.

Only thing is they are att settings,which carrier do you have?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Ok I couldn't find the thread that contained this tweak and it's not mine, but in tha tthread most people were increasing data speads by a factor of three.

Download speedtest from market (free) and run a test without wifi on

Then go to settings / more... / Mobile Networks / make sure it's set to LTE/GSM

Then go back into mobie networks / access point names (select att/LTE), then click on the left of the att/LTE to open up a settings menu. Here are the settings for the tweak, so copy them down exactly as I give them to you:

Name: ATT LTE

APN: pta

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Passwrod: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication: not set

APN Type: default,supl,mms

APN Prtotocol: IPV4

Then do a reboot and run the speedtest again.

Please post your results
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
Thanks for the help but the speeds are still about the same. My network settings were already set to what you specified so I just reentered them and I don't see any change yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Well why don't you call att for an airwave tower? If you meet the criteria they will send you one fkr free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
Yeah I might look into that. You wouldn't happen to know what that criteria is do you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
As far as criteria you have 3:

Must have broadband internet access (this is how the tower gets its power i thinks

Must have an account in good standing with the carrier

You must promise to return the tower in all of its contents back to the carrier within 30 day of cancellation

Other than that you will be speaking with a special team within tech support and they determine distance from tower and likely hood of success with the tower.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmb993:
Sounds simple enough. Thanks for the help.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I recently rooted my gf's fascinate and flashed CM7 on it, the most stable release which I believe is 7.2.0. I originally used 7.1.0 but her gallery wasn't loading her photos from externalSD and her flashlight app would only work for about 2 seconds before her camera light would shut off. I updated to 7.2.0 and that didn't fix anything.

I can't seem to find an official thread to post in and the other CM7 threads have been dead for at least a month or more. I google searched and the only other person with a non-working gallery on CM7 just used quickpic, no idea what phone they had, but I'd prefer to either fix her gallery or go with a better ROM.

So is there a way to fix her gallery, or is there a better ROM than CM7 for her phone?

ETA: She's also having issues with no data on network, and now for some reason I'm unable to get any data here at my house on my wifi. Looks like I'll have to flash back to stock until I figure out what to do next. My Captivate was nowhere near the amount of headaches this phone is.
